Let's be real, Hope didn't actually think that he was going to be able to make it and there is no hiding the look of pleasant surprise when it crosses her face.

"It's going to be sort of an all day thing, which, I know is ambitious but after taking a headcount and everyone with different schedules, I decided to have it open house style. There will be food from eleven in the morning to probably midnight." Which is insane but there are people working late shifts and early shifts and Hope refuses to let them go without a Christmas meal and socializing.
