Lead

edit
  • "The scenes that were filmed outdoors had to be crafted to look as if it were cold; in reality, temperatures reached into 90 degrees Fahrenheit, and above." Where was it shot?
  • "Despite this, the episode was the highest-rated NBC series of the night that it aired" --> change to "on the night that it aired"

Plot

edit
  • "leaving corporate to send" ---> consider changing corporate to "the corporate office"
  • "either proposes to her" ---> remove s from propose
  • "talking about her dirty toy" ---> change to "her damaged gift"
  • "At the party, Jada begins to lose interest, but Pam and Andy Bernard (Ed Helms) try to find fun activities for her, but Andy ends up ruining most of them." ---> change last part of sentence to "try to find fun activities for her; however, Andy ends up ruining most of them."
  • "Pam says that her husband Jim Halpert (John Krasinski) always gets her great Christmas gifts so she wants to give him one from her." --> change last part to "give him one."
  • "Meanwhile, Jim agrees to a snowball fight with Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson), but when he is first challenged outside, he eventually finds the doors chained and Dwight emerging from a snowman, throwing multiple snowballs at him and leaving him with a bloody nose." Can you split this up into 2 sentences?

Production

edit
  • "her eighteenth writing on the series" ---> consider changing to "her eighteenth writing credit for the series"
  • "The scenes featuring the snowmen were shot on the hottest day of the episode's shoot, with temperatures reaching above 90 degrees Fahrenheit." ---> consider adding where it is shot
