Bringing a Family Together for the Holidays

Aired on: December 5, 2007

For 2-year-old Camden, celebrating Christmas in February is not out of the ordinary since his mom Brandy is an E.R. nurse and his dad Bill is a paramedic firefighter, and one of them is usually working on the actual day of the holiday. Despite their good humor and passion for their work, Bill and Brandy ache to be together as a family this year, so Rachael’s buddy Kristan Cunningham and the folks at Staples step in to bring the three of them together for the holidays any way they can.

Kristan hooks up Bill and Brandy up with laptops that have Web cams so they can see each other even when one of them is on duty. She also picks out a new digital camera for them and helps them get started on their own family Christmas card. When they all join Rachael on the set, their bosses surprise them with the news that both of them will get Christmas week off, and then Rachael gives them a $1000 gift card to go present shopping!
