Fill in the blanks with the words you hear. It is the first scene after the initial credits of THIS EPISODE:

 Scene: The apartment.

Penny: I just love __________________ the Christmas tree. It makes me feel like a little girl again.

Leonard: We didn’t have a tree when I was _____________________.

Penny: Really? Why not?

Leonard: Mmm, in my family, holidays weren’t so much ____________________ as studied for their anthropological and psychological implications on __________________ society.

Penny: Oh, sounds festive. Did you at least give ____________________?

Leonard: Mmm, in a way. We presented papers, and then broke off into focus groups and critiqued each other.

Penny: Sheldon, what about you? Did you ___________________a Christmas tree?

Sheldon: Oh, yes. We had a tree, we had a manger, we had an inflatable _______________________ with plastic reindeer on the front lawn. And to make things even more jolly, there were so many blinking _________________ on the house they induced neighbourhood-wide seizures.

Penny: So I take it you don’t want to ________________ us trim the tree.

Sheldon: I do not. But if you insist on _____________________a spider-infested fire hazard in my home I would request that you add this.

Penny: What is it?

Sheldon: You’re kidding, right? It’s a bust of Sir _____________________.

Penny: Oh, sure, sure, yeah. Very Christmassy.

Sheldon: Wait, excuse me, but it’s much more Christmassy than anything you’ve put on the tree.

His birthday was moved to coincide with a traditional pagan holiday that celebrated the _________________ solstice with lit fires and slaughtered goats. Which, frankly, sounds like more _____________________ than 12 hours of church with my mother followed by a fruitcake.

Leonard: Merry Newton-mas, everyone.

Sheldon: I sense that’s not sincere, although I have no idea why.

Penny: No, it’s fine. Look, Sir Isaac can go right next to this little candy cane.

Sheldon: No. Isaac goes at the ____________________of the tree.

Leonard: No, he ___________________________.
