Christmas in the City Page #2

Synopsis: With the threat of having to close her father's candy store, Wendy and her six-year-old daughter Grace travel to the big city in hopes of making extra holiday cash to save their family store. When she's offered a job in the toy department of Wolman's, the city's biggest department store, Wendy can't wait! Her excitement doesn't last long when the store's new corporate fixer, Teanna, progressively destroys the Christmas spirit throughout the store, replacing Santa with hunky male underwear models surrounded by elfin "babes." What no one is aware of is that Teanna has in fact sacked the real Santa. Wendy reaches out to the old man, but it seems even he is giving up hope. With her daughter losing faith in the holiday, Wendy realizes the true meaning of Christmas needs to return to Wolman's before it is too late.

- Are you famous, Angie?

- Oh, not yet.

First thing tomorrow,

I'm taking you over

to wolman's...

You know, the store

I've been working at?

They're always looking

for temp employees

during the holidays.

You'd be perfect.

- Thank you so much.

I really appreciate it.

- Shoot, I gotta go.

I have rehearsal in 20 minutes.

- Oh.

- Here are places that

I like to order from.

You two settle in, and I will

be back later.

- Okay, Grace?

- Bye, Angie.

- I'm so glad you're here.

- Thank you.

- Bye. Love you.

- Why is having a Christmas tree

bad for the environment?

- People don't want to

chop down trees anymore,

so they're just getting

fake ones.

- I still like the real ones.

- Me too.

Get outta here!

- I miss grandma.

- I do too.

But you know what?

We're gonna see her really soon.

- Christmas. promise.

- Hmm.

- So tell me about this company.

I mean, I know that they're,

like, super famous.

- Well, they've been around

for, like, 50 years,

owned by Harry wolman himself.

Although his nephew pretty much

manages the store now.

- Got it.

- Harry comes around

every now and again

to make the rounds.

- Grace! look at this!

- Whoa.

- All right, we're gonna go

right through here,

and then I will take you

to human resources.

- We wish you

a merry Christmas

we wish you

a merry Christmas

- Cool, huh?

- Yeah.

- And a happy new year

good tidings we bring

to you and your kin

good tidings for Christmas

- Oh, hi.

- And a happy new year

we all know that

Santa's coming

we all know that

Santa's coming

we all know that

Santa's coming

and soon will be here

good tidings we bring

to you and your kin

- A piano.

- Whoa.

- Oh, and look

at all these presents.

The lights,

with all the decorations.

We all know that

Santa's coming

and soon will be here

good tidings we bring

to you and your kin

good tidings for Christmas

and a happy new year

- Whoa!

- hey.

- It's blocking the merchandise.

- Get rid of it.

- Yeah, boss.

- That's teanna,

or as I call her, Cruella.

The shop hired her

to fix things.

Apparently, she's like this

new, young marketing genius.

- Let's go upstairs.

- Whoa.

- I love this store, Angie.

- Wanna go see toys?

- Yeah!

- And this is my department.

- Look, it's Santa.

- Wait here, I'm gonna

go clock in.

- Okay.

- hello there, young lady.

Come on up.

And what can we do for you?

Merry Christmas!

- What's that over there?

Look.

That's awesome.

Thank you, Santa.

- There you go.

- I told Santa my wish list,

but I'm still sending him

a letter.

Oh, and don't worry,

he said he knows

what your wish is.

- Oh, he did, did he?

Where is Angie?

- All right, have fun
