There aren't many ho-ho-hos at Dunder Mifflin when Phyllis and Michael square off for the honor of playing Santa at the office holiday party. Meanwhile, Jim and Dwight try to spread holiday cheer---despite the not-so-jolly uncertainty of the company.
Michael is forced to face the music after he realizes he can’t keep a promise he made to a group of kids 10 years ago. Meanwhile, Jim starts an employee of the month program to increase employee morale.
Michael speaks out of line at the Dunder Mifflin shareholders meeting and creates a big problem for management, while Jim discovers that nobody in the office thinks he's the "real" boss.
The entire office is preoccupied about rumors of Dunder Mifflin's bankruptcy. Michael tries to create a distraction by engaging everyone in murder-mystery game, but Jim wonders if that is a good idea.
