This Grab Bag includes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Orna-MENTAL:<\/strong> Shopping for decorations, Travis takes the woman he has been dating and her daughter to the thrift store to save money for more important holiday expenses. Can anything stop the insanity this Christmas, or is everything around one fancy house going to be quite Orna-MENTAL?<\/p>\n

Merry Mindless Melanie:<\/strong> When Melanie came into Todd’s life, it was the end to all things great about living with his dad. But the gift Evan gives her changes everything. He’s seen the ads for Merry Mindless Corsets, and he knows they can make Melanie mindless, subject to whatever anyone tells her she is or will become. So this Christmas she’s definitely going to still be a bitch, but only the best kind.<\/p>\n
