"What would you do with Charlie?"

"Sing songs, hang stockings, clean up the mess when he ate himself sick," Casey said.

"We can do that," Dan said.

In spite of himself, Casey had to smile at that. "You'll eat yourself sick for me?"

"Drinking myself sick is a normal part of my family get-togethers," Dan said. "It's not that much of a change." Casey's being a Scrooge but Dan knows how to make it better. Adorable.

"You're out of parrot-related trivia?" Natalie asks, looking a bit surprised.

"I skipped that section of the Encyclopedia Britannica. It's their beady eyes," Jeremy says. "Reminds me of paintings where the eyes follow you."

"You know that parrots' eyes actually follow you, right, honey?" Dana says.

"When Dana says, 'honey,' she means, 'dumbass,'" Natalie says, helpfully.

"We know," Dan says. "We know." Really lovely Christmas story full of the crew being family, especially Dan and Dana, coated in a deliciously crunchy layer of snark and banter. <3
