One of the things I love about The Office is their commitment to Christmas. Hart Hanson, the EP of Bones, admits they choose to do Christmas episodes every other year; but in six seasons of The Office, the only time they missed Christmas was during the strike.
And while the last few episodes of the show have been outlandish and kind of stupid, I’m anticipating at least a decent episode. Click through for Jam flailing.

In addition to the funny, The Office has also been failing to bring the Jim and Pam. I try really hard not to complain, but I’ll be really disappointed if they make it through the Christmas episode with nary a mention of their marriage, baby, or general adorableness.
At this point, I half expect them to off-handedly announce that Pam had the baby over the weekend–she’s in daycare, totally fine, carry on.
This episode will also be the last one for a while–the show doesn’t have any episodes in the can for the spring and won’t return to the set until early January. The speculation and anticipation is that Baby Tuna will be born in mid-February, before the show breaks for the Winter Olympics, but even that seems to be pushing it a little in terms of scheduling.
