Unfortunately, Ken can't be with us today.

So the two of us will be filling in for him until he comes back. Are you ready, Ketie?
I'm ready when you are.
Okie dokie. Let's get the ball rolling.

I wasn't expecting the red carpet treatment, Mr. Jingle.
(red carpet treatment = very special treatment; royal treatment)
We wanted to give you a warm welcome, Ms. Kelly. More eggnog?
(eggnog = a drink made from eggs mixed with milk, sugar and alcohol)
Oh, thanks. Is it always this dark at the North Pole?

Doesn't that affect your sleep schedule?
I never sleep.
Never ever?
No, I'm up to my ears in work.
(up to my ears = completely overwhelmed with work or other responsibilities)
More eggnog, please.
Thank you.

Ho ho ho ho ho ho. The pleasure is all mine, Noelle. Ho ho ho ho.
Do you mind if I take notes while we talk?
Ho ho ho ho! No, ho ho ho ho. If my memory serves me correctly, you're a Christmas child, ho ho ho ho!
Wow!
1986. Ho ho ho ho ho...
You certainly have a good memory!
Oh well, as I recall, I gave you a red bike back in 1994. Ho ho ho ho ho…

You're right on the button! I loved that bike. It was great! Thank you.

Well, I noticed something in the new situation, he was saying that 1994.
Oh...
But it was 1992, right?
