Only in Los Angeles can a family Christmas tradition include sitting around by the pool! But for the Pritchetts, Dunphys, and Tuckers on Modern Family, that is exactly what this winter holiday will bring.
In "Express Christmas," the family is gathered at Jay (Ed O'Neill) and Gloria (Sofia Vergara)'s pool on a sunny December day, and that's where they realize that everyone will be scattered this coming Christmas, so if they want to celebrate together, then it will have to be today!
Look, we really don't know how they didn't have this conversation sooner, considering they are all one big (mostly happy) family, and therefore they are used to checking in with each other about whose house the holiday meals are being prepared at this time, but let's just go with it, shall we? It's the season of giving, so we'll just give them this one.
Everyone sets off with their respective duties for this super fast celebration: Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson), Alex (Ariel Winter), and Lily (Aubrey Anderson-Emmons) get the tree, while Jay and Cameron (Eric Stonestreet) are in charge of gift wrapping, Phil (Ty Burrell) and Manny (Rico Rodriguez) get the groceries, Gloria and Luke (Nolan Gould) go retrieve the ornaments, and Claire (Julie Bowen) and Haley (Sarah Hyland) shop for all the gifts. When they all return in the evening, it's quite a sight, which you can preview in the photo slideshow to the left.
Modern Family airs on Wednesday nights at 9pm, only on ABC. "Express Christmas" airs on December 7th.
