Late 1940s one-shot featuring a newly married Jim and Pam on the Halpert family farm. She's got a special Christmas surprise for her childhood sweetheart turned husband and she hopes he's just as excited as she is. 

Merry Christmas, YB. This is your Secret Santa fic from me. :) 

Karen thinks that a small party - her apartment is NOT huge - of a select few coworkers, to celebrate her recent move to her very cool new apartment, is a fantastic and totally non-problematic idea. Jim wants her to get to know them. No?

Jim is... unconvinced. He suspects that there are agendas at play here.

But, as she says, it's only one night. What could possibly go wrong? 

Could this be another season 3 fixer???

Meeting in an unusual place in life, a broken Jim and Pam try their best to put the pieces of their lives back together while not falling apart and back down the hole that they're trying to help one another out of.

Based on the song "How Not To" by Dan + Shay, because do I *ever* write something that *isn't* based on a song?
