Summary: "Now we're all set for the holiday."


"Hey, Mon," Chandler called, lugging something heavy in through the door. "I just found a really great deal on a Thanksgiving turkey. So I nabbed this baby right away, before anybody else could snag them all." Grinning, he placed it on the countertop, patting it proudly. "Now we're all set for the holiday."

"That's terrific, honey" Monica beamed. She examined the attached tag, letting out an impressed whistle. "And over twenty pounds. Wow! We'll have a lot to go around. And that's including Joey's bottomless pit of a stomach. And any guests who might pop in."

Moments later, Joey burst through the door. "Guys, guys! You're never gonna believe this!" He slammed a large, weighty object onto the table. His eyes were twinkling with pure joy. "Guess what? I got you guys a real square deal on the turkey for this..." He trailed off, glancing at the counter. "...Thanksgiving." His face fell dejectedly. "Gee, I didn't know you guys already had one."

"Don't worry about it, Joey. It's not like you had any way of knowing; it all happened so fast." Monica shook her head, smiling as she patted Joey on the shoulder. "Well, now we're all set for Christmas."
