Christmas is closing in on the loft, and everyone is juggling presents, plans and an office Christmas party they would rather not be at. Jess, meanwhile, has a big relationship moment coming that she is not sure she is ready for. Everyone is trying to get the gift thing right, and nobody quite does, which is lovely. It is chaotic, awkward and cosy, in the way a flat full of mates always is when the twenty-third arrives. Early New Girl, before it got properly famous, and still very easy to like, ideally with a mug of something warm and the fairy lights on.
