209 菲比的爸爸
丑陋裸男装点圣诞树。
莫妮卡和瑞秋为了省钱，做了些饼干代替圣诞节小费，支付给报童、邮差和管理员等等。
结果送来的报纸撕裂了，邮包也砸坏了。
她们的暖气关不掉了，电工也不修理，她们疑心他也在为没收到钱而生气。
虽然室内温度很高，瑞秋和莫妮卡照样举行了盛大的圣诞派对。
罗斯想和瑞秋重修旧好。他建议她也列一张他的缺点表。
当她真的开了单子，罗斯又对她的抱怨感到迷惑不解。
菲比发现她对生父的了解（甚至连照片）都全是谎言。
她祖母说其实她生父住得不远，于是菲比带上钱德和乔伊去探望父亲。
到门口了她却说，我还没准备好！
钱德和乔伊只得在圣诞前夜才忙着节日采购。 ________________________________________

209 菲比的爸爸
丑陋裸男装点圣诞树。
莫妮卡和瑞秋为了省钱，做了些饼干代替圣诞节小费，支付给报童、邮差和管理员等等。
结果送来的报纸撕裂了，邮包也砸坏了。
她们的暖气关不掉了，电工也不修理，她们疑心他也在为没收到钱而生气。
虽然室内温度很高，瑞秋和莫妮卡照样举行了盛大的圣诞派对。
罗斯想和瑞秋重修旧好。他建议她也列一张他的缺点表。
当她真的开了单子，罗斯又对她的抱怨感到迷惑不解。
菲比发现她对生父的了解（甚至连照片）都全是谎言。
她祖母说其实她生父住得不远，于是菲比带上钱德和乔伊去探望父亲。
到门口了她却说，我还没准备好！
钱德和乔伊只得在圣诞前夜才忙着节日采购。 ________________________________________
