Monica and Rachel, low on funds, make cookies to give instead of cash as holiday tips to the paperboy, the mailman, the superintendent, etc. Despite the heat, Rachel and Monica have a big Christmas party. Ross tries to make amends with Rachel. Her grandmother knows where he lives, and it's not far. Chandler and Joey have to do their Christmas shopping late on Christmas eve.
Money is so impersonal.
Cookies says someone really cares. All right, we're broke, but cookies do say that. A plate of brownies once told me a limerick. Phoebs, let me ask you something. But you know what, I think they had pot in them.
