Marcella Toriki has never liked Christmas. It's just not her thing. But that doesn't mean that she doesn't take the opportunity to spend time with the important people in her life. This Christmas, Marcella Toriki is getting the whole gang together for a holiday party for the ages. She's calling in the big guns and flying her father and youngest brother in from New Zealand to celebrate. Her brothers living stateside will be making the trip down to New Orleans as well. Finally, the Toriki clan spend some real time with the family Marcella has made on the gridiron this season! With tales of the season mixed with tales from Marcella's childhood, the evening is sure to be an adventure for all in attendance.
Marcella may not be much of a cook herself, but with a foodie like Bubba Thumper making a guest appearance, you know that the catering has to be absolutely top notch. From the full Christmas dinner to the trays of holiday cookies, everyone is walking away from this event in high spirits and with a full stomach.
After the large gathering, Marcella has plans for a smaller party too, with just her father and brothers. While busy schedules, timezones, and many miles keep this family apart on the day to day, holidays give time for the group to sit together and enjoy one another's company. Marcella has placed NOLA season tickets in each stocking, and a variety of other gifts sit beneath her tree. After all, she's got to spend that contract money somehow. Who needs to buy equipment when you can see joy on another person's face as they open a gift hand-selected for them?
