Cut to Sue's office as Sue is writing in her journal. "Dear Journal, it's Christmas again that time of year when parents aren't arrested for forcing their children to sit on an old man's weirdly hot lap. That magical season when five seemingly separate storylines are cleverly sandwiched between commercial breaks, and then tied together at the end like a beautiful bow. Like that movie Love, Actually. Which I don't think anyone really cares for, and yet it is constantly on cable," Sue said in a voice over as she wrote in her journal as there is a knock at the door. Sue looked up to see Coach Beiste standing there as she narrowed her eyes at her. "What reason do you have for barging into my office?" Sue asked annoyed. "I just wanted you to pick your staff member for secret Santa," Coach Beiste said holding up the tub. "Oh we're giving this another chance after I rigged the last Secret Santa?" Sue asked shocked. "Well this time I know you hadn't messed with the tub. I made sure every name in here was different and not just yours," Coach Beiste said as Sue picked out a name from the tub as she looked confused. "Millie Rose? Who the hell's Millie Rose?" Sue asked confused. "She's a sweetheart. She works in the cafeteria," Coach Beiste explained as Sue still didn't seem to know who she was "She's a big lady, and I think her daughter's in the glee club." It was in that moment that Sue realized exactly who she was, she was Marley's mom and she had no idea what to get her for secret Santa.
Cut to Brittany's room where she had her cheerios uniform on with a Santa hat and candy cane striped socks and grabbing a bag filled with things that looked like one Santa would carry. "What are you getting all dressed up for," Santana chuckled noticing Brittany's attire. "I bought everyone gifts with all my savings money and I want to give it to them before the world ends," Brittany said as Santana laughed. "I'm serious Santana. This is no laughing matter. The world is going to end before we make it to Christmas and I will never get to meet our lesbian love child, which I know has to be a lesbian love child because she's a girl." "You think..." Santana said shaking her head again at Brittany's naivety. "Last week, I decided to watch a documentary about the Mayan Apocalypse, which arrives on December 21, 2012. So I decided to cash in all my savings so my friends and I could enjoy what's left of our lives to the fullest," Brittany said. "Britts that's just made up. The Mayan Apocalypse isn't going to happen. It's some lame legend a bunch of idiots theorized would happen because the Mayan calendar doesn't go past 2012 which is ridiculous considering they were wiped out a long time before then," Santana said shaking her head. "It is not!" Brittany exclaimed "The documentary I watched was on the History Channel, involving real actors portraying real events." "Britts, I love you but, you need to stop with this insanity and return all the gifts so we can enjoy our second Christmas as a couple okay?" Santana said as Brittany frowned. "You don't believe me..." Brittany said upset. "No. I don't," Santana said as Brittany teared up shaking her head. "I knew everyone else would laugh at me and call me crazy for believing the Mayan Apocalypse was coming but I never thought you would be one of them," Brittany said emotionally. "Britt...that's not what I..." Santana began. "Get out," Brittany said in a hurt tone "If you don't want to spend our last days alive together then fine. I'm going to find someone else who wants to." And with that Brittany stormed out of her room as Santana watched her leave completely confused as of what had just happened.
Cut to Sue's office as she holds up a bag. "How about this one?" Sue then handed the bag to Becky who opened it but threw the sweater on the floor in disgust. "Becky, it's a beautiful sweater from Benetton," Sue said in disbelief. "Epic fail! I already got one of these, Coach! Get me something I don't already have!" Becky exclaimed. "Like what?" Sue asked in disbelief. "Like a hot date! Or a snowmobile!" Becky exclaimed as Sue sighed. "Oh, Becky, you're not the only person I have to shop for. I got to get something for that hideous wad of a lunch lady, who somehow was able to squeeze out a ravishing, golden-throated, raven-haired beauty from those monstrous, gaping loins," Sue said as she sighed looking out the window of her office "What do you get the woman who's eaten everything?" Becky shrugged, unsure of what advise she could even give Sue as Sue shook her head in disappointment realizing this was going to be a lot harder than she thought.
Cut to the hallway as Sam approaches Brittany who looks saddened at her locker. ""Hey, Ms. Grumpy Gills..." Sam said imitating Dory as Brittany looked up at him. "Sam...I'm not in the mood," Brittany sighed. "When life gets you down, you know what you gotta do? Just keep swimming." Sam grinned imitating Dory as he began to sing 'Just Keep Swimming' as Brittany soon joined in singing with him smiling a bit more. "And there's the smile I was looking for," Sam smiled back at Brittany "Seriously, why were you so down before." "It's Santana...we broke up because she doesn't believe me about the Mayan Apocalypse," Brittany sighed. "No way," Sam frowned. "Way. She said it was something idiots made up and I know that's not right because I watched a documentary about it on the History Channel," Brittany said as Sam looked around trying to make sure no one would hear what he was about to admit. "I believe it, too," Sam whispered to Brittany whose eyes lit up. Even though she had only had a summer fling with Sam, it was in that moment that Brittany realized that maybe, just maybe Sam was who she was meant to be with.
Cut to the cafeteria where Millie and Marley are working on preparing food as Sue listens in. "Just to be clear, no presents this year. That money is going to a therapist who specializes in eating disorders. We're not playing around here," Millie scolded. "I know, Mom. I know this is serious. I have a problem, and I want to get better," Marley sighed honestly. "Besides, we don't really need anything," Millie said honestly. "Not even a tree?" Marley frowned. "Marley a tree is $50, and a session with Dr. Goodsitt is $200," Millie said as Sue looked shocked at what she was hearing "I don't need to tell you that I don't make a lot of money. I will be damned if I waste a penny of it before my daughter is healthy enough to realize what a beautiful miracle she is." Sue listened to Millie in awe and realized exactly what she needed to do to help this family out, she was going to give back to them which was exactly what they needed, she walked off feeling satisfied with herself. "Sorry," Marely frowned a bit. "If you want to give me a gift, sing me something," Millie said honestly. "Deal," Marley smiled back at her mom as the two hugged.
Cut to NYADA where Rachel is in the Round Room for the holiday concert. "Hi I'm Rachel Berry and I'm going to be singing one of my favorite holiday songs," Rachel smiled a bit as she began to perform 'O Holy Night'.
As Rachel performed the entire crowd seemed moved by her performance, no one more so than Kurt who seemed thrilled that his friend was the star performer in the holiday concert. As Rachel finished the song, the crowd gave her another standing ovation which Rachel bowed respectfully for, knowing she was right where she belonged, on a stage.
Kurt and Rachel were entering their apartment after returning from the holiday concert. "I can't believe the holidays are almost here. You know you can still change your mind and go on the Rosie O'Donnell Gay Holiday Cruise with me and my dads," Rachel said in a hopeful tone as Kurt shook his head. "Thanks but I'm good spending the holidays here in New York," Kurt said honestly. "All alone?" Rachel frowned as Kurt shrugged "Kurt, come on I know things have been rough since you and Blaine broke up but you shouldn't spend the holidays alone." Kurt was about to reply when there was a knock on the door. "Could you get that?" Rachel asked as Kurt looked confused wondering who could be at the door. He then opened the door to find his father, Burt standing there with a Christmas tree. "Dad!" Kurt exclaimed all too excitedly. "Burt?" Rachel said also shocked. "Season's greetings!" Burt smiled. "Oh, my God!" Rachel exclaimed. "Well, I got a tree you need one?" Burt asked as Kurt was still stunned. "Come in!" Kurt exclaimed. "Okay, all right. I got it, I got it," Burt said as he carried the tree in.
Soon enough Kurt and Burt were setting up the three while Rachel finished up packing. "Okay, you can let go now," Burt said. "Okay. Come on, let's go look at it," Kurt grinned as he and Burt rushed to the side to see the tree. "Oh, it's perfect," Rachel grinned looking up from her packing. "Yeah, well, I couldn't imagine you guys celebrating Christmas without a real tree," Burt said honestly as he turned to Rachel "You know, his mom used to always buy the tree. I'd always tell her to wait till I got home from work, but she never could. And then, the first Christmas after his mom died, I totally forgot about it. That is, until I saw little Kurt hanging his own special version of a Christmas ornament on his window shade Christmas Eve," Burt smiled at the memory as Kurt then noticed his 'ornament' from all those years ago. "Oh. My mom's perfume bottle," Kurt grinned holding up his mom's perfume bottle "Oh, I always loved the way she smelled." Kurt then went to put the perfume bottle on the tree. "So I pull him out of bed, I throw a coat on him, I drive straight through a snowstorm, right down to the Christmas tree sale. It was the first time he smiled since his mom died," Burt said as Rachel couldn't help but tear up as Kurt turned around noticing her. "Okay, no tears on Christmas Eve. This box is full of happy memories, as well. Like our Christmas trip to Dollywood," Kurt grinned holding up an ornament from Dollywood. "Oh, yeah," Burt nodded. "That one I like," Rachel grinned. "That trip was for me," Kurt smiled as he then picked up another ornament "Oh, and this redneck NASCAR trip, that was for you." "Hey, this is a nice ornament," Burt objected as Rachel and Kurt chuckled. "Let's hang them," Burt grinned as he and Kurt hanged their ornaments. "All right, well, I wish I could stay, but can't really be late for a cruise, so..." Rachel began. "Oh, hold on. You got to open this before you go," Burt said handing Rachel a box. "You got me something?" Rachel asked surprised. "Uh, happy Hanukkah, merry Christmas," Burt said as Rachel then opened up the box to find an apple ornament. "Oh," Rachel smiled at the ornament. "It's for your first New York holiday season. Hang it together," Burt said. "Thank you," Rachel grinned as she hugged Burt. "And then you can go," Burt said. "Okay," Rachel smiled as she walked up to Kurt. "This, to our very first New York Christmas," Rachel said as she and Kurt hung up the ornament together as Burt watched them smiling at them but knowing his trip to New York wasn't always going to be as pleasant as this with the news he had to break to Kurt.
Cut to McKinley High as Sam nervously approaches Blaine at his locker. "Hey," Blaine smiled but then noticed Sam's demeanor "Are you okay?" Sam sighed "No I'm not." "Okay...do you want to talk about it?" Blaine asked as Sam nodded. "You might not believe me when I tell you what I know is going to happen but I think we need to break up," Sam said. "What? Why?" Blaine asked confused. "The end of the world is coming and we only have a few days left to be with the one you love and you love Kurt and I think I love Brittany. It's best if we spend our final moments being with the ones we're meant for not just in a rebound relationship," Sam said as he walked off as Blaine looked dumbfounded. "What the heck..." Blaine said to himself as he phone then went off and he saw it was from Burt which surprised him but he answered. "Hey Burt," Blaine said as we then cut to Jake walking down the hallway being hassled by Bobby and Phil.
"Oh, hey, Puckerman, yo. You going African, or are you more Hebrew for the holidays?" Phil smirked. "Yeah, Hanukkah or Kwanzaa? Which is it?" Bobby asked. "Kwanukkah!" Phil exclaimed as Bobby chuckled. Jake, fed up with their taunting pushed the two of them down as they started getting into a fist fight as Puck approached. "Hey! Hey! One Puckerman just ate your lunch. What do you think's going to happen when we unload two barrels of Puck shot into your ugly mugs? Huh?" Puck shot as Phil and Bobby backed off walking away. "What are you looking at?" Puck shot at the students who had gathered around to watch the fight as they also left. "What are you doing here?" Jake asked confused as to why Puck was back at McKinley. "Just scoping out some chicks, doing a little research for my screenplay," Puck shrugged. "You're a screenwriter now?" Jake asked in disbelief. "In L.A., you're nobody unless you're somebody in the movie business. I'm almost done with my first script. It's sci-fi, but it has a high school element," Puck shrugged. "Wow. That sounds really cool, actually," Jake said as they walked past a cheerio and Puck smirked at her. "Well, if me being totally honest, I also came back to talk to you. I'm worried about you, dude," Puck said honestly. 'Well, I'm fine," Jake shrugged. "Fine doesn't get into fights in the hallway. Think what you need is a little mentoring from your big bro. Come spend a few days in La La Land with me. Let's do Hanukkah together. All you need is some cash for gas and burritos. My hog has a sweet sidecar," Puck offered as Jake looked at him in disbelief. "Wait. You you want me to ride all the way to California in a sidecar?" Jake asked raising an eyebrow at Puck. "Where's your sense of adventure?" Puck asked as Jake shrugged shaking his head. "Fine. I'll go with you during break but if it doesn't work out I'm on the next flight to Lima," Jake said as Puck shrugged. "Sounds good to me," Puck grinned as Jake then headed for class wondering what he had gotten himself into.
Cut to Kurt and Burt walking out of Radio City Music Hall together. "I never thought I'd see this day. Us walking down the streets of New York, right after seeing a live Broadway musical," Kurt grinned. "Well, the Rockettes might have better legs than me, but they can't touch my "Single Ladies" performance," Burt smirked jokingly. "That was the best musical I've ever seen," Kurt grinned. "Ah, it's freezing! I think it's time to check off another. Hot chocolate," Burt said as he and Kurt rushed into a coffee shop and were seated together to drink hot chocolate. It was in that moment that Burt knew he had to tell Kurt why he was really here.
"Kurt, I have something to tell you, and I came here because it's the kind of thing I want to tell you face-to-face," Burt said honestly. "Don't like the sound of that," Kurt frowned abit. "Look, I'm just going to come out and say it because there's no good way to say it. Uh, I have prostate cancer," Burt said as Kurt looked stunned. "Feel like I'm going to be sick," Kurt said feeling faint. "No, no, hey, hey, look at me. Do I look like a guy who's dying? We caught it early. You know, local stage, no spreading. Cure rate's nearly 100%," Burt said honestly. "For healthy people, Dad," Kurt frowned nervously "You've already had a heart attack." "The heart attack is what, you know, made me get checkups twice a year," Burt admitted. "It's just really scary to think that when I finally reach my destiny, that you won't be around to see it," Kurt said emotionally. "Hey. I will be there. I promise," Burt assured Kurt who still looked unsure. "Look, can I just give you one piece of advice while we're still talking father to son?" Burt asked as Kurt nodded "This is three times I've had to stare death in the eye. And you know the one thing I took away from all that? You have got to hold the people you love close to you no matter what." Kurt smiled a bit at Burt saying this as he took his father's hand, not wanting to let go.
Cut to the cafeteria where Marley walks in dressed up. "What's all this?" Millie asked her daughter who just smiled a bit. "This is your Christmas Present. I hope you enjoy," Marley smiled a bit as she began to sing 'The First Noel' as her mother watched her in awe of how incredible her daughter was.
As Marley performed Sue watched her from the hallway, clearly moved by Marley's performance. "That, right there, is the best Christmas gift I have ever gotten," Millie said as Marley smiled back at her but Sue knew she had to do something, anything for the Rose family with all that was up against them.
Cut to the choir room as Becky is decorating the tree. "Well, Becky, I feel absolutely horrible. I've become selfish and spoiled, and incredibly out of touch," Sue said shaking her head "Look at this tree. Yes, it has a stark beauty all its own. But did I really need to cut down a 7,000-year-old bristlecone pine just to hang ornaments on it? It just seems frivolous," Sue said as Becky looked back at her confused. "Becky, I just made a call to a guy in the antiquities business. He's got contacts in the luxury toothpick market. You and I are gonna sell him this tree, and we're going to give the proceeds to a very important cause," Sue smirked knowing that she had to do whatever it was she could for Marley and Millie Rose.
Cut to the library where Sam is with Brittany. "What are we doing here?" Brittany whispered confused. "I came here because I wanted to perform a song for you," Sam said honestly as Brittany again looked confused. "I thought you were supposed to be quiet in a library," Brittany said still unsure of what was going on. "You don't have to after school," Sam smiled a bit as Brittany nodded understanding what he was saying. "So...I wanted to sing you a Christmas song. We're not going to make it to Christmas so I figured we might as well have fun while we still can," Sam said as he then began to sing 'Jingle Bell Rock' with the help of the Cheerios.
Brittany stood up and cheered for Sam as he finished the song. "That was all kinds of awesome," Brittany grinned. "Yeah...Brittany...there's something I've been wanting to ask you," Sam said breathlessly. "If Sour Patch Kids and Sour Gummy Worms are the same thing?" Brittany asked. "What? No..." Sam said as he pulled out an engagement ring as Brittany looked shocked. "What about you and Blaine Warbler?" Brittany asked. "I ended things with Blaine," Sam said as Brittany looked surprised again "He's in love with Kurt and I'm in love with you. So, Brittany S. Pierce, before the world ends, will you marry me?" Sam asked as Brittany looked stunned yet again but knowing this was her only chance to get married, she only had one answer "Yes." Sam picked her up and spun her around as they kissed and he put the engagement ring on her finger.
Cut to the locker room where Sam and Brittany are dressed up for their wedding which Coach Beiste has agreed to officiate. "Are you sure you're qualified to marry us?" Sam asked. "You betcha, kiddo. I went on a Mayan Church Web site and I got ordained if you're really serious about doing this," Coach Beiste told them seriously. "Yeah. I am," Sam said. "Totally," Brittany agreed with a smile. "Put your hands here," Coach Beiste said as Sam and Brittany put their hands on a book. "Brittany, I've always thought you were super hot and really smart, but what I didn't know was that you were going to end up being my soul mate. Who knows what the future holds for us? Probably tsunamis and horrible sea monsters. But now I'm not worried about that, because I have you," Sam told Brittany seriously. Brittany then started her vows. "Sam, when you first joined the glee club, I didn't notice for a while. It wasn't until you did a Rich Little impression and then told me it was a Rich Little impression and explained who Rich Little was that I just I knew you were special. And I can't tell you how excited I am to become your Mayan star-wife," Brittany grinned as Sam smiled back at her. "You may kiss your bride," Coach Beiste said as Brittany pulled Sam in for a meaningful kiss. "It's December 18. Three days till the end," Sam sighed as Brittany looked up at him "Let's make this time count." Brittany nodded knowing that whatever time they had left that they should spend it together.
Cut to Puck and Jake pulling up to Paramount Pictures in Los Angeles as Puck talks to the guy at the gate. "Noah Puckerman. There should be a drive-on for us," Puck said showing the guy his ID. "That's what they call a pass that you get when you're allowed to drive on to the lot. It's a technical term," Puck smirked as the guy handed him back his ID as they drove into Paramount Pictures lot. They soon got out of the motorcycle and began walking around. "So, who's your meeting with? Is it about your screenplay?" Jake asked. "I'm just here networking today. Played with the sweater puppies of one of the assistants of one of the guys who produces one of the NCISes, and she got me the pass," Puck shrugged. "Wow. You really are making things happen," Jake said somewhat in shock. "It was inevitable. If you're in Hollywood and you're a Jew or a gay, you basically got it made," Puck said as he then noticed two guitars and got them for him and Jake, trying to hand Jake one. "What are you doing?" Jake asked confused. "I told you networking," Puck said as Jake took the guitar "We need to let all the bigwigs here know who we are. Or, more specifically, what we are." Puck and Jake then began to perform 'Hanukkah Oh Hanukkah' through the Paramount Pictures lot in all different scenes.
As they performed many of the actors joined in dancing. They ended the song in a tattoo shop getting matching tattoos of the star of David. "Happy Hanukkah!" Puck exclaimed as he and Jake got their tattoos finished up.
Cut to Brittany's room where she and Sam are cuddled up when an alert goes off. "Brittany," Sam said shaking Brittany awake noticing the computer said December 22. "It's December 22. We survived the Mayan Apocalypse," Sam grinned all excited as Brittany looked surprised. "You know what this means? The world didn't end," Sam said surprised. "We're also married," Brittany said honestly as she and Sam exchanged concerned looks, had they made a huge mistake by getting married?
Cut to a mansion in LA where Puck and Jake are lounging around. "I can't believe that this is where you live," Jake said shaking his head in awe. "No, I'm just renting. I think if I buy, I'd want to be up in the hills. One of those houses they shoot porn in," Puck shrugged as their conversation was interrupted by a voice. "Excuse me," a woman said as Jake and Puck turned around "Aren't you the guy who cleans our pool?" "Yeah, Mrs. Cross, hey. I thought you were in Hawaii for Christmas," Puck said awkwardly. "Yeah, we came back early," Mrs. Cross said giving Puck a glare "You have five minutes till I call the police." She then walked off with her son as Puck put his head down. "Dude, why did you lie to me?" Jake asked. "I didn't think you'd be impressed by my apartment in the Valley filled with Ikea furniture I never figured out how to put together," Puck sighed. "So all that screenwriter stuff is that just garbage, too?" Jake asked incredulously "Figured it was my only chance to convince you to come move out here with me," Puck shrugged. "I'm a sophomore, man. I mean, I had to lie to my mom and tell her I was going on vacation in Fort Lauderdale with Ryder and his family just to get out here for this," Jake said shaking his head. "I'm a mess out here, dude. It's lonely. I've got no friends. It's impossible to meet people 'cause you spend the whole day in your car," Puck frowned. "Why didn't you just tell me that? We are family. I mean, I would've understood," Jake said honestly. "That your big brother is a loser?" Puck huffed as Jake looked at him sympathetically. "Let's go back to Lima," Jake said as Puck looked at him "If we leave this afternoon, we'll make it back by Christmas Eve." "If I go back, my mom's gonna make me go to Breadstix for dinner on Christmas Day while my sister hangs out with her Christian friends," Puck said annoyed. "Cool. I'll go, too," Jake said before adding "And I'll invite my mom." "My mom hates your mom," Puck said confused. "Your mom hasn't ever even met my mom. You feel lonely, you want this feeling of family. Fine, then let's you and I we'll make it happen," Jake said as Puck looked at him realizing his brother had a point as the two then headed back to Lima.
Cut to Kurt and Rachel's apartment as Kurt is preparing tea as Burt is seated on the couch. "Dad, you okay? Do you need a pillow or tea, water?" Kurt asked his father concerned, "No, Kurt, stop. Come on, let's focus on happy things. Like our Christmas traditions. I am looking forward to watching basketball on Christmas Day while you pretend you watch with me," Burt smiled. "You mean while I secretly read Vogue?" Kurt asked. "That was never a secret," Burt chuckled "No, like our other Christmas traditions. Like on Christmas Eve, where we each exchange one gift." "My favorite part. All right, you first," Kurt said as he handed his father is gift. "Ah, I saw that," Burt chuckled as he opened up Kurt's gift which was a NYADA hat and shirt. "Nice." "I know it's cheesy, but thought you'd like it," Kurt said honestly as Burt put the hat on. "Screw cheesy. I love it. In Mexico, they would call me Señor Queso," Burt smiled as he then took the shirt out "Look at this. Ah, man. I love it, man. You are going to kick ass at that school." "That's the plan," Kurt said solemnly "All right, my turn." "Okay, so my gift to you is really big. It's too big to put under the tree," Burt said honestly. "Curiosity piqued," Kurt said intrigued. "Okay, so you can pick it up at this address, and, you know, if you don't like it, you can return it," Burt said as Kurt looked at the address and nodded wondering what in the world his father had gotten him.
Kurt arrived at the address his father had provided him which turned out to be an iceskating rink. "Package for Kurt Hummel," Kurt heard a voice say as he turned around and saw "Blaine?" Kurt said in shock. "Surprise. Your dad called me out of the blue and wanted to fly me out here just so I can see that look on your face, and it's pretty priceless," Blaine said as Kurt smiled back at him in disbelief. "Actually, he told me everything, and I promise, I'll keep an eye on him for you," Blaine said honestly as Kurt understood "But the reason why I'm here is because he didn't want us to miss out on another important holiday tradition." "Our Christmas duet," Kurt nodded. "You are happy to see me, right?" Blaine asked biting his lip. "Yeah, yeah. Always," Kurt said honestly. "Come on. Get your skates on. It's almost midnight. Hurry up!" Blaine exclaimed as the two began skating together as they performed a duet version of 'Let It Snow'.
As they finished performing they went to get some hot chocolate as the bells then rang. "Listen. Hey. It's midnight. It's Christmas," Blaine grinned. "Officially," Kurt nodded. "No matter what, no matter where, even if we're not together, we're always going to be there for each other," Blaine told Kurt honestly as Kurt pulled Blaine in for a hug, grateful to have him there for support through this difficult time in his life. Burt watched them from the side and couldn't help but smile, knowing he had made the right choice to give his son some happiness.
Cut to Marley's house "Marley? Marley! Marley, get down here, sweetie," Millie called as Marley rushed down the stairs to see her home decorated with a beautiful tree as well as a ton of presents. "Oh, my God," Marley said in shocked. "I know. Yeah, the back door was jimmied open, I was gonna call the police, and then I saw all this," Millie said honestly. "Mom. Look at this sweater. It's I think it's from Benetton," Marley said taking a sweater of one the bags. "Oh, sweet Lord I am gonna pass out," Millie said noticing some money not the tree "Marley Oh, my God. Marley, there's $800 here." "Oh, my God. Merry Christmas, Mom!" Marley exclaimed hugging her mom tightly. "Merry Christmas, sweetheart," Millie smiled hugging her daughter as Sue and Becky watched them from the window happily knowing that she had given the Roses something great. "We should probably still call the police," Marley remarked still unsure if whoever had done this had taken anything.
That night at Breadstix Puck, Jake, and their moms were out for dinner as their moms glared at each other as the waitress brought the table their food. "Thanks," Jake smiled to the waitress as she put his food in front of him. "How great is this lasagna?" Puck asked as he dug into his lasagna. I saw you once, you know. "I came into that diner you were working at after he told me about you. You waited on me. Acted like you had no idea who I was," Puck's mom said. "I didn't," Jake's mom said honestly "He never told me he was married. He did not wear his ring when we were together." "Is that how you make yourself feel better?" Puck's mom shot at Jake's mom. "Stop it," Puck exclaimed "He split on both of you. You spent all these years hating each other, keeping me and my brother apart, and for what? To spite some jerk who never loved any of us?" "Puck's right. We all have one thing in common: He ran out on all of us," Jake agreed "This week with Puck was ridiculous, but it felt different than being with a friend. We're a family. Okay? A pretty messed up one, but still a family." Puck nodded to what Jake was saying as Puck and Jake then looked at their mothers. "Your father really was an ass," Puck's mom said. "An epic ass," Jake's mom agreed. "So let's drink a toast," Puck said raising his glass. "Yes, let's," Jake agreed "To the power of the holidays, to new traditions and to an epic ass that did one thing right," Puck said "He brought us together. Cheers." Puck, Jake, and their moms all clinked glasses saying "Cheers." "Merry Hanukkah, dude," Puck smiled. "Right back at you, bro," Jake smiled back as the two spent Christmas together feeling more bonded than before.
Cut to Kurt and Rachel's apartment where Blaine and Burt are watching the basketball game. "So, who's winning?" Kurt asked sitting with them. "Celtics," Blaine said as Kurt tried to watch the game but quickly grew tired. "Okay, I tried," Kurt said as he grabbed his magazine. "Ah 20 seconds," Burt smirked. "Oh!" Blaine exclaimed. "Pay up, Anderson. You may have dated him, but I raised him. I know my son," Burt chuckled. "Aw, you couldn't have just toughed it out for just a few more seconds, Kurt?" Blaine asked incredulously. "No," Kurt said honestly. "Just a few more seconds," Blaine frowned. "So graduating Plans for the future?" Burt asked Blaine. "Uh well I haven't talked about this with Kurt, and I wouldn't do anything to make him uncomfortable, but I was thinking about applying to NYADA," Blaine said honesty as he turned to Kurt "Would that be okay?" "I think that'd be great," Kurt smiled at Blaine. "Me, too," Blaine smiled back at Kurt, happy to have his support.
Cut back to Breadstix where Puck and Jake's moms are talking. "I actually think I knew it was really over when he tried to pick up on my sister at her baby shower," Jake's mom said as Puck's mom chuckled. "Aw, look at 'em. Laughing, trading war stories about us kids. It's a true Hanukkah miracle," Puck smiled a bit. "You know, I'm really gonna miss you when you go back to L.A," Jake said honestly. "I was thinking about that. I mean, L.A. is great, but someone needs to look after you and our moms. And I'm sure most of my pool-cleaning clients in Lima would take me back, so..." Puck began. "So you're moving back home?" Jake asked surpised. "Yeah, I think I am," Puck smiled watching his mom and Jake's mom bonding.
"So we're not actually married?" Sam asked surprised as he and Brittany are sitting at a table with Coach Beiste. "There aren't actually any Mayan church Web sites. The Mayans were wiped out by the conquistadors and smallpox," Coach Beiste said honestly as Brittany looked confused. "That's like chickenpox, but smaller," Sam told her as Brittany nodded. "Look, when I heard the two of you were getting engaged, I thought to myself, these kids are two special kids. The last thing we need is another teen tragedy of marrying too young, popping out a couple kids before you're 20 and ending up with your faces blurred out on an episode of Cops," Coach Beiste said. "I've totally done that before," Brittany said as Coach Beiste and Sam gave her a look. "Well Brittany, I know the world didn't end but would you want to continue to be my girlfriend?" Sam asked as Brittany smiled at him. "I'd love to," Brittany said as Sam hugged her. "Besides, you were the only who believed in me that the world was going to end, even though it didn't, you still stood by me and I really like that." Coach Beiste smiled at the two of them, glad they had decided just to be a couple.
Cut to Sue's office as Sue is writing in her journal as Millie knocks at the door. "Could I talk to you for a second, Coach?" Millie asked as Sue nodded "I wanted to say thank you for what you did for Marley and me." "I have no idea what you're talking about. I had nothing to do with the making of that film," Sue said bluntly. "I bribed Becky Jackson with candy, and she told me everything," Millie said as she sighed "You're very generous, but, um I'm afraid I can't accept this money." Millie then handed Sue back the money "Well, you and I both know how hard it is to be a single mother. So take the money, and make sure that daughter of yours gets better. Is that understood?" Sue asked handing Millie back the money as she nodded accepting it tearfully "Now, if you'll excuse me, please sideways-step yourself the hell out of my office." "Uh would you come with me?" Millie asked as Sue looked back up at her "Marley wanted to say thank you, too." "Does this involve the glee club singing a Christmas song in the auditorium with snow falling on an elaborate winter scene?" Sue asked as Millie chuckled as she took Sue to the auditorium. "Yep, okay. This is exactly what I just described," Sue said shaking her had. "Coach Sylvester, I wanted to thank you for what you did. So I called Artie, and he helped pull all this together," Marley smiled a bit as the Glee Club began to perform 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas' as Sue and Millie watched.
As the song goes on Puck sings the next line at Breadstix happy to be back with his family as he and Jake approach their moms. Jake then sings holding his mom's hand. Puck and Jake then harmonize as Brittany and Sam approach them joining in. Cut to Kurt and Rachel's apartment as Blaine takes over as well as Kurt. The song ends back in the auditorium as the New Directions finish their performance as Millie and Sue watch them mesmerized, knowing this was another holiday season well spent.
