"I was born here in California," Everett began. "I grew up not too far from Hollywood." Una asked, "Is that why आप got into film editing?" He replied, "Not exactly, but we'll get to that later. I lived in an average-sized house with my parents. It was bigger than an apartment या condo, but it was smaller than a mansion. About two and a half years after I was born, Kaitlyn was born." Una asked, "How did आप feel about becoming an older brother?" He smiled. "I was thrilled. Once Kaitlyn was able to walk, she became my shadow. She followed me everywhere, even if she really shouldn't have." Una giggled. She said, "I hope आप two didn't get into too much trouble." He said, "Not really, but we did keep my mother on her toes." Una then asked, "What was growing up with your parents like?" Everett smiled again. He said, "They were very loving and supportive. My mother was always very warm and loving, very patient too. My father was always very kind and he always gave great advice. I could always come to him with any problem." Everett's smile then faded. "I knew my family loved me," he said, "but getting everyone else to like me wasn't always easy. Unfortunately, after I started school, I was bullied a lot."
It was December 1. The members of New Religion were decorating their house in Oak Ridge for Christmas. Lola looked over at Klondike and said, "This is so exciting. This will be Klondike's first Christmas!" Carl said, "Yes, it is. I believe this also marks our third क्रिस्मस in Oak Ridge." Erin said, "Yes. I can't believe it's been over three years since we came to Oak Ridge." Paul wasn't as excited. He said, "This is also our first क्रिस्मस without Yukon and Nunavut." He sighed. Lola hugged him and said, "I know आप miss your Huskies, but they would want आप to enjoy Christmas." He said, "You're right. आप know, I've been thinking that maybe we should do a क्रिस्मस album. John and his mates do one every year." Erin said, "I like this idea." Carl said, "I do, too!" Lola said, "We should call it A New Religion Christmas." Paul said, "That has a nice ring to it, no pun intended." With that, they decided to reach out to John for guidance on how to make the perfect क्रिस्मस album.
