Summary
Yuletide is upon us and the hags are patently giddy. Jacqueline self-imposes limits in pursuit of a floor lamp while Kate fixates on a door protector for her wreath. A lighting specialist cold calls after hours and a candy cane’s glow keeps the neighbors awake. A scream, transmuted into jingle bells. When an artist produces Christmas for an only child. Chocolate bone broth, cake by the handful, and etched crystal bowls. To smash the gingerbread house as the party’s conclusion. Is Man on Wire a Christmas movie? Nice Lady Hive, rise up.
