Eileen Swift : All this Christmas cheer doesn't do much to turn my crank!
Ross Harper : You're missing the whole point of the Christmas spirit, Eileen.
Kate Harper : Which is?

Kristin Carlson : Every year the Carlson clan celebrates a big traditional Danish Christmas. It's a chance to get in touch with our roots.
Eileen Swift : If I were you, I'd pay a little more attention to your roots.
Kate Harper : Eileen!
Kristin Carlson : Okay, she's just kidding. And I love seeing her smile!
Eileen Swift : You do?
Kristin Carlson : Absolutely! You get all these cute little lines around your eyes!

Kate Harper : Hi, Ross. How was school?
Ross Harper : Less than stellar, mom. Not a single female went near my mistletoe, except the school nurse, who kept bumping into me as if it were a coincidence.
Kate Harper : Well, looks like you found your special someone.
Ross Harper : That's disgusting, mom!

Kristin Carlson : Okay everyone, it's time for the famous Carlson Eve of Christmas Eve Dinner!

Kristin Carlson : Well, tough!
Ross Harper : Well, that's certainly in keeping with the Christmas spirit.
Kristin Carlson : Well I'm sorry, but in the Carlson household, the famous Eve of Christmas Eve dinner commences promptly at seven! The Danish are known for their punctuality.
Ross Harper : As well as for their great sense of humor.
[everyone laughs]
Kristin Carlson : I don't get it.
