White Lie Christmas
The spirit of Christmas comes to call at Joy and Darnell's trailer when Earl tries to cross off Number 74 – Ruined Joy's Christmas. You see for six years he'd bought her terrible presents, and she wasn't the only person he’d disappointed; he owed Earl Jnr and Dodge some decent gifts too.
The spirit of Christmas comes to call at Joy and Darnell's trailer when Earl tries to cross off Number 74 – Ruined Joy's Christmas. You see for six years he'd bought her terrible presents, and she wasn't the only person he’d disappointed; he owed Earl Jnr and Dodge some decent gifts too.
Leaving Randy and Catalina trying to win a brand new car for Joy, Earl takes care of the kids by buying them some new bikes but the arrival of Joy's parents for Christmas causes him bigger problems.
Earl finds himself having to keep all their secrets from each other to stop the truth ruining Christmas; Joy's married to a black man, Connie's gambling addiction has lost the family business, and rather than being the racist Joy thinks he is Buzz loves black women, in the biblical sense...
The thing is, the only reason they were keeping their secrets was because they didn't want to lose each other and with nothing to hide they relaxed and enjoyed their Christmas which meant Joy had the best Christmas she'd ever had.
