But there's one more thing. And he's like, I need your help with your mother's Christmas gift. Okay. Okay. There are like a couple reasons that this is annoying to Tessa. The first is that she's like, there are only like four days until Christmas, right? Like this is stressful timing. You've now given me like four chores, including a present for my mother. Yeah.

The second reason is that Tessa's parents are so annoying about Christmas. They always demand to open each other's gifts at the big family party. And then they do this like little sketch that they do every year. Her dad opens her mom's gift. Say it's like a George Foreman grill or whiskey stones or a puzzle game or a Yeti cooler. And he's like, I hate it. It's impractical.

It takes up counter space. I don't want this. Yeah. Her mom opens her dad's gift and say it's, you know, an automatic wine opener or a Snuggie or a fancy piece of cookware. And she's like, this is too expensive and it looks cheap and it isn't like me at all. And it is so uncomfortable for everyone in this Christmas room. Yeah. How do you feel about this, like, tiff?

Exactly. And so it's like, it's the eye rolling. And it's also the fact that Tessa knows like the reality of these people's lives, which is that when they go home, they use the gifts that they have gotten each other every single day. So Tessa knows that this is a play fighting joke. Does everyone know that this is not necessarily like the vibes are not great.

I love this as a theory. I think it's totally possible. Like I don't know why they do this. Like we did not get an answer. But it's like there's something about this kind of couple that like – Like, I know couples like this where it's like they pick at each other in front of people and you're like, I don't really love that your, like, love language is public fighting. Like, could you just stop?

So Tess's dad has now asked her to become involved not only in getting the gift, but like in this whole situation. Yeah. And he can sense her hesitation. And he's like, don't worry. I already have the perfect gift. Like she's definitely going to love it this year. He says this every year. And Tess is like, I don't believe you. And he's like, no, no, no, no, no. Like this year is different.

I already called ahead. The gift is in stock. All you have to do is go get it. What do you think about this?

Yeah, exactly. Tessa's like, fine. Like, whatever. Like, what is the present? And he tells her that it is a very beautiful, very fancy handbag. Do you think that this is a good gift? You said it's a handbag? Oh, see? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I didn't say handbag. I said ham bag. H-A-M-B-A-G. Okay.

Do you know what a ham bag is? I mean, I know what ham is and I know what a bag is. Yes, you're pretty fucking close already. In this land of like down under chaos, they have some sort of fun and exciting Christmas traditions. One of them is like to go to the beach dressed as Santa, I guess. But they also have ham bag.
