- All right we're here, let's do this!
(upbeat music)
(Christmas bells chime)
- Hi, Soty family!
Guys, Steve and I just sat down
and we got all of our Christmas shopping done this year.
Minus one gift for Stephen.
I have already started gathering
and wrapping certain things.
But guys
what does a teenage boy like?
I don't know!
Oh my gosh, guys I have found it.
Personalized face socks.
I think everyone in the family is getting one.
All right, guys.
So now that I got all of the Christmas
shopping out of the way,
I need to make our house look festive
because this is what it looks like now.
Luckily I have a garage full of Christmas stuff!
And guys, these bad boys are scented.
You can just smell the Christmas.
Yeah, I'm going to need some help.
Kids, it's time to decorate for Christmas!
(kids scream)
- Yay Christmas!
(dog barks)
(kids scream)
- Oh boy!
- All right, we're here.
Let's do this!
- All right guys so this is our new tree
that we got for this living room.
I need all of you guys to start
by furrowing out all of the branches!
- [Kids] Okay!
- It goes fast for four people.
Science!
Oh look at this!
- (Indistinct) kids let's do this.
- Santa!
- You're doing great there, Jordan.
There you go, that looks good.
- [Jamie] Don't leave a single area untouched!
- Stephen?
- [Jamie] That top needs help guys.
The top needs help.
- [Taylor] I'm on it!
- I knew the teenage kids would come in handy!
- And would it be Christmas decorating without a fire?
- Or hot chocolate?
Mom can we please have hot chocolate?
- Okay!
So actually guys, every year when we decorate for
Christmas we have hot chocolate.
(upbeat music)
Hot chocolate's ready!
All right guys drink up because after
we're decorating.
(upbeat music)
- All right kids we have the ornaments,
we have the tree.
Have at it!
- [Steve] Oh my gosh, oh my goodness.
Wait what order are you putting them in?
- [Jamie] They're just putting 'em over the tree!
There is no like rhyme
or reason to what they are doing.
It's my worst nightmare.
- I'm gonna put this on the same branch as-
- [Jamie] Don't you dare!
- With a different color of course-
(Jamie gasps)
and then it take this one off
and put it back on.
- [Jamie] I love how Blake has them
all on the bottom.
- There's none on the top.
- Guys it looks great!
It looks amazing.
I'm not going to sneak
out here when you guys are in bed
and change a thing I swear.
I'll leave it just the way it is.
- I don't believe you for one second.
- [Jamie] That looks beautiful!
- Look at mine!
- [Payton] Look at mine!
- And luckily guys
these are shatter-proof so drop 'em all you want.
- Uhhh let's not do that.
(ornament clatters)
Oh boy.
- This is such a big tree.
I think I maybe could use some more hot chocolate.
- Nope!
But one thing we forgot guys
was the Christmas music.
We have to dance while we decorate guys.
(upbeat Christmas music)
- Okay while it's really hectic in there
and a lot's going on
I'm gonna sneak in here for
just a minute.
(door knob clicks)
All right so Jamie thinks that
we are all done with our Christmas shopping
but I saw one more very important person
to get a gift for.
(keyboard clacking)
- All right, guys, this is the aftermath of the kids.
It's not bad guys.
I have had plenty of years where it is way worse than this.
They are getting older.
They are getting better at it.
I just have to move a few things,
luckily they are out of this room.
So, you know
I'm going to admire their work and uh
rearrange some things.
(upbeat music)
- We are really doing a good job on this tree Jamie.
- We?
- We.
Wait, Jamie.
That ornament
definitely shouldn't go there.
- [Jamie] You better come over here and help me.
Right now.
- Just move it to the left a little.
(upbeat music)
- All right guys, we are going
on day two of Christmas decorating.
It takes our family
like a solid week to get everything done.
But we are doing one tradition that the kids
always really like, what are we guys gonna do?
- Draw names!
- What are we guys going to do?
What are we going to do?
- Draw names!
- [Jamie] Okay so draw names for what?
- Uh presents for Christmas.
- So we let the kids draw names
of each other every year for Christmas.
So Taylor, do you have the names?
- Yes I do.
- [Steve] What in the world?
- [Jamie] It's in the hat?
All right.
So Taylor made slips of paper for all of the kids.
Are you guys ready?
- [Kids] Yes!
Are you ready Blakey?
- In our family, youngest always goes first.
- [Jamie] Blakey are you ready?
Draw a name.
- [Taylor] Pick out a name.
- [Jamie] There's a name inside there.
- [Taylor] Only one.
- [Jamie] Just pick one out.
Did you get a piece of paper?
- This is not my name.
- [Jamie] That is not your name?
- She has me!
- [Jamie] All right so Blakey
you're going to buy a present
for Payton.
- And Dad.
- [Jamie] Do you have enough money?
Okay.
(Steve laughs)
- [Steve] Who is it?
- Me!
- Myself.
- [Jamie] You got yourself?
(family laughs)
- All right, round two.
- [Jamie] Okay, go again.
- [Taylor] One of herself?
- [Jamie] Who do you have?
- Ooooh.
Jordyn.
- [Jamie and Steve] Jordyn!
- [Steve] Please draw Dad, please draw Dad.
- It's Taylor!
- I knew it.
- [Jamie] You knew she was gonna get you?
- What does Taylor want?
- I got
Stephen!
- Whooo!
- Are you kidding me?
Somebody has to pick me.
- How do I shop for a teenager?
Oh, maybe a phone.
- I'm down for a phone.
- I hope Taylor gets me!
- [Jamie] All right who does Taylor have?
- Me!
- [Jordyn] Probably Blake.
- Parker!
- [Jamie] Blakey!
- [Parker] Maybe Stephen will get you?
- I wonder who I have?
- [Parker] He's gonna have you!
- Oh who is it?
Jordyn!
- It can't be.
- Blake!
- [Steve] Whoo!
- [Jamie] Your buddy!
All right guys so we got the
upstairs decorated
but we still have the downstairs
which means I need to get this guy
out of the cold storage
and he's heavy.
(kids laughing)
- [Jamie] All right guys here comes the Nutcracker!
(kids scream)
- All right guys so we decided to
put on a Christmas movie.
What are we watching?
- [Family] Home Alone!
- Of course, we watch Home Alone.
I made some-
- [Kids] Popcorn!
- And then you guys are going to help me
finish decorating for Christmas!
- [Steve] Whoo!
- I'd like to order two popcorns for me and Payton.
- Sounds like a plan.
- Thank you!
- One large, two large popcorns please.
- Two?
- Yeah I'm getting one for Jeff!
