How does Xenon bond?

I've had this explained to me a thousand times and I just don't get it. How does Xenon, as a noble gas with all of its electron shells filled, bond with other elements?

To the first (basic valance theory) approximation, it doesn't.

You have to start taking into account that it is so large that its affinity for its outer electrons is relatively weak enough that a sufficiently electronegative atom such Fluorine can bond to it anyway.  It's in no way a preferred bond, but it is a bond.
