Cheryl and Toni exchange gifts. Toni seriously misinterprets the mood Cheryl was going for, leading in only one erotic Christmas card.
No sex, but Choni's ever-present sexual tension is still there.

"Thank you guys so much for having us, really," Veronica says gratefully, putting a hand over Betty's. "We had such a great time."
"It's our pleasure," Toni says. "We're just so happy that you're back in town for the holidays. Cheryl told me that your mom is watching Celia for a few days before Christmas."
"Yeah, Hermione has been such a big help," Betty says, nodding. "And, I know I don't have to tell you how great it is to have alone time."
Toni smiles. "Of course. Cheryl and I are thrilled that my grandpa is watching Tommy Jr. tonight."
Veronica laughs. "Only for the night? Well then, Betty and I better get out of here and leave you two lovers alone!"
"Speaking of two lovers..." Toni frowns, calling over her shoulder, "Cheryl, where are you? Get in here!" She turns to Betty and Veronica. "I'm sure she's just cleaning up, I'll just go check on her."
Toni stands and heads into the kitchen. She sees Cheryl is turned towards the window, at the sink. "Cheryl?"
She turns around and Toni finds a tear in her eye. "I'm fine, don't worry."
Toni walks over to her and pulls her in close. "What is it, baby?"
"It's nothing," Cheryl chokes out, hurriedly wiping tears from her cheeks. "I just—I should be so happy right now. I have you," she says, tucking a stray hair behind Toni's ear. "I have Tommy, and all our friends are here for us. But...it's just so hard. Christmas was Jason's favorite holiday."
Toni frowns. "I know, baby."
Cheryl pulls away and looks at the floor, smiling sadly. "Our parents used to call him the true angel of the holiday. And for once I agreed. He knew how hard it was for me to be around them, and all our relatives, all of them pressuring me with questions about the business, the money, about why hadn't I found a man to help me run the Blossom empire in the event that Jason wasn't capable."
Toni's eyebrows furrow. "Cher—"
"I think they knew," she whispers, "that my dad was going to do something awful to Jason one day. How could I not see it coming? Anyway, just forget it, I don't want to ruin this Christmas, Toni. I love y—"
"Cheryl, please don't blame yourself for what happened to him," Toni says, taking Cheryl's hand in her own. "You couldn't have done anything about it. And you were such a great sister, from what I've heard. Okay? I love you, babe."
Cheryl's watery dark eyes meet Toni's solemn ones and she leans forward to catch Toni's lips in a kiss.
"You guys comin?" Veronica's voice floats to the kitchen from the living room. "I don't hear much talk going on in there."
Cheryl groans, pulling away from Toni's lips and grasping her hand, walking out to the living room. "Sorry about that, Veronica. Cousin Betty. Are you guys on your way out?"
"Yes, actually," Betty answers, standing. "Thanks so much for everything. This was wonderful."
Toni nods. "We should have a date night every other week."
Veronica smiles. "Yes. I'll look at the calendar as soon as we're home. Good night!"
As soon as the front door closes, Cheryl runs over to the tall tree. "Ready for presents?" Cheryl says, carrying a big box over to where Toni sits on the couch.
