He tries to find ways to pass the time, such as building a fort in the living room and starting a snowball fight with his brother, but nothing seems to work. Things only get worse when the family's heating system breaks down, leaving them freezing in the house.
To make matters even more difficult, Greg's mother has become obsessed with saving money, which means no more pizza delivery or trips to the mall. Greg starts to feel like he's going crazy, and even starts to dread the thought of spending New Year's Eve at home.
