Joseph and Lindsey are preparing for the holidays and intend to do Christmas shopping.

The Christmas tree is revealed to be old, and it may be replaced with something much newer, but Joseph says that the one he and Lindsey have is fine.

Lindsey has Joseph volunteer to be Santa in order to make the kids happy, but it doesn't go well on his first try.

Joseph and Lindsey are out to the store once more, this time to get some Christmas cookies.

The Christmas cookies Joseph and Lindsey brought have already been devoured. Joseph has purchased a third bag of Christmas cookies in secret, hidden it, and Van promised him that he will not tell anybody where the bag is.

Cameron and Isaias, two of Van's childhood best friends, pay him a surprise visit.

Someone broke into Joseph's house while he was sleeping. He then proceeds to investigate the incident.

By threatening to murder the burglar who tried to steal stuff from his house overnight, Joseph was able to quickly get rid of him.

Judith, a waitress at Joe's, has a crush on Van, but she continues to flirt with him after he declines her date request, which bothers him.

Caillou, Rosie, Emily, and Cody had to remain at Joseph's apartment for three days when their mother, father, and siblings traveled to Plotington to see their grandparents.

Caillou tells Van and T.Q. about his parents and siblings' journey to Plotington to see his grandparents.

William keeps bugging Joseph by banging on his door at almost one a.m. for no apparent reason.
