* HopeSpot: Initially, it seems the Scranton office will avoid the usual Christmas party shenanigans as the Party Planning Committee was disbanded, Pam got everyone their favorite treats and drinks, and everything came under budget. Then Michael learns Holly will be filling in for Toby beginning the next week, so he cancels the party and reschedules it for her arrival day.
