This episode takes place two days before Christmas (hence the title). Danny Concannon arrives dressed as Santa Clause, and surprises CJ with a kiss.

Answer: The motorcade leaves without them

Josh, Toby and Donna are discussing the President's campaign rally in Indiana, and the motorcade suddenly takes off, obviously thinking they are already on board. This leads to a series of mix ups including their truck running out of diesel and them missing a flight because the county they are in doesn't recognise daylight savings time.

Answer: dry rub

They get the dry rub, which is the specialty of the house. As Earl explains "You dry rub the beef with spices for a day or two. Sauce is a myth." When Josh mentions the dry rub to C.J., she starts discussing how she loves dry rub. Toby initially ordered cheeseburgers, and steak sandwiches are what they ate on Air Force One (which Josh and Toby missed). Soybeans are mentioned quite a bit at the start of the episode.

Molly: "I failed, I know. Please, no lectures."
C.J.: "What happened?"
Molly: "Have you been there? Have you seen what--"
Libby: "Mom, nobody is--"
Molly: "I made a mistake. It was years of him being charming. You both know how-- how charming the man can be."
C.J.: "Yes, but--"
Molly: "I was in the English department, he was in the Math. There were lunches. There were quiet lunches, for years. And we wait. Both of us, waiting for years. After your mom died, and I had married what's his name, we were still two missed connections; two withered, married, ancient people, waiting!"
C.J.: "Why didn't you call me, Molly?"
Molly: "I didn't get to spend time with your father. We never had an affair. I'm sorry, but I don't want to diaper a man--"
C.J.: "Shut up! Shut up. You were a wonderful teacher, Molly. You should be ashamed of yourself."
Molly: "Well I am. And did you know what the nickname for the disease is? 'The long goodbye'."
C.J.: "Well not in your case, though, is it? In your case, more accurately, it's 'the short, see-you-later goodbye', isn't it? Libby: "C.J."
C.J.: "What happened to reciprocity? Do you ever imagine, in a million years if the roles were reversed, he would ever do this to you? This is-- What you're doing right now invalidates everything that came before, all the good, the years of teaching. This cancels a good and valuable life! He needs you!"
Molly: "I need him!"
(Molly turns away, and as she continues to speak, C.J. walks out.)
Molly: "You came for the reunion? You're giving a speech aren't you? It was in the paper: 'The Promise of a Generation'. We were going to go and stand in the back."
