Christmas in the City Page #3

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.

Is there something

I'm just looking for my friend.

She was gonna take me

to human resources

to help me get a holiday job.

- Great.

We can always use

extra hands at Christmas.

- Oh, you work here?

- You could say that.

- I'm Tom.

- Oh, I'm Wendy.

- And I'm Grace.

- It is nice to meet you, Grace.

Is this your mom?

- Isn't she pretty?

- Okay...

So do you have any

retail sales experience?

- Yes. I've been running

my dad's shop back at home

for the last five years,

but it's nothing like this.

This place is amazing

with the decorations

and the music.

Hey, how did they do

that thing with the snow

in the front window?

- Some kind of massive fan,

I think.

Uh, so can you start right away?

- Excuse me?

- Mr. wolman.

- Hi, Angie.

- Hi.

- wolman?

As in wolman wolman?

- Tom gave mommy a job.

- That's great.

- It's great for us.

It's not every day

we get someone as enthusiastic

as Wendy is.

Since you guys know each other,

why don't you start working

here in the toy department.

- Now?

- If you can. We have a day care

if you need it.

- Yes, I can start today,

and yes, I need day care.

Thank you, Mr. wolman.

- Thank you.

Angie, do you mind

showing her h.R.

So she can get started

on paperwork?

Oh, and show her day care

on the way.

- Absolutely. thanks.

- Measure her.

- Yeah, boss.

- Measure her?

- We're gonna have to

completely restock

all of these toys.

I need the highest-priced toys

to be

on the children's eye level...

- 52.

- And the cheapest to be

far above and below.

- Teanna, we always

stock the shelves

so the kids have access

to the most popular toys,

not the most expensive.

- And you wonder why

the board hired me

to increase sales.

- Mommy, is she a witch?

- No. shh!

- What are you all gaping at?

Get to work!

I'll see you

at our meeting later.

- Bruno!

- huh?

Hey, kid. Here, catch this.

- Huh?

- boss, comin'.

- Excuse me.

- Let's go to day care.

- I'll show you where it is.

- Come on, baby.

- Ooh!

- Wow. this is awesome.

Okay, listen, I will be

right upstairs if you need me,

and we can even

have lunch together.

- Look, mommy,

our very own Christmas tree.

And we get to make

popcorn garlands.

- Yeah. bye.

I love you.

- I love you too, mommy.

- Okay.

- You have your nametag.

- Yep.

- All right,

you'll have two breaks

and a lunch hour,

and there's a fridge

and a microwave

in the employee room

if you need it.

- This place is legit.

- It really is.

We're really lucky.

Harry woman really takes care

of his employees.

We even get a Christmas bonus.
