Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! Rusty realizes that people might be afraid of him, Willy is excited about his new Where’s Waldo coffee table book, and the boys propose building a bridge to Terabithia.

The boys wrap up with two wonderful drafts of Christmas traditions that don’t exist and predict the hottest gifts of 2024. Strap in, Playmates, and we’ll see you next year!
