Doug, “Doug’s Secret Christmas” – 1996
As Doug’s family prepares for the arrival of a new baby, Doug longs for a traditional Christmas but must settle for a private party in his bedroom with Porkchop. Gifts are exchanged. Porkchop gives Doug a journal, Doug gives Porkchop a “World’s Greatest Dog” mug. Realizing no one else is home, sadness starts to set in. Imagine Doug’s surprise, then, when his Dad calls from the hospital with news that his baby sister, WHOSE NAME IS CLEOPATRA DIRTBIKE, has been born. The whole thing is a meeting point between Home Alone and the Christmas nativity. There’s also a scene in which Doug prepares the perfect gift for Patti—a pair of earrings shaped like ears—DIY artisan style. That kid is so Brooklyn. He has a sister named Cleopatra Dirtbike. – Lauren
