Christmas Town Page #2

---

Oh.

This is so not like him.

Not again.

Yeah?

Allison.

Oh, hey, dad.

Is it grandpa?

Yeah.

We got the card and the message.

And you know, it's just not

such a good time right now.

Please, Mom, can we go?

Sorry, Mason, hang on a sec.

I'm sure that it's

a lovely place,

and I bet you'll have a

great holiday up there.

Come on.

It's Christmas town.

They probably have lots

of cool things to do.

Mason, I can't hear.

I'm sorry, Dad.

What?

You what?

Well, why would

you quit your job?

Dad!

You can't just pick up your

whole life and start over.

Because it's not practical.

Oh my gosh.

You're not sick, are you?

Is everything OK?

We should go check on him,

make sure he's not crazy

or something.

All right, Dad.

You know what?

Maybe we can come up for a

couple of days, but that's it.

We're going?

So where is this place, anyway?

Woo hoo!

We're going to Grandpa's!

Woo hoo!

Yeah!

We're going go Grandpa's!

Uh huh.

Oh.

How far is that?

OK.

Right.

I love road trips.

We can sing Christmas

carols all the way.

Yipee.

Look, we're probably going

to hit holiday traffic.

It's over a day's

drive getting there,

and now is the worst

time to be on the roads.

You think they'll have snow?

Oh, Mason, don't

get too excited, OK?

Probably just some

kind of tourist trap.

And no work, right?

I'll try.

Promise?

Come on.

Get in the car.

We want to get on the

road to beat the traffic.

Come on, Mom.

We're burning daylight.

Let's go.

All right.

I spy something red.

Mason, let's not.

OK.

You go first, then.

Maybe you could read.

I'll get car sick.

Go.

I spy something yellow.

Jingle bells, jingle bells,

jingle all the way.

Oh, what fun it is to ride

in a one horse open sleigh.

Hey!

Jingle bells, jingle

bells, jingle all the way.

Oh, what fun it is to ride one

in a one horse open sleigh.

Hey!

Mom, you've got to sing.

What's that, tiger?

Sing.

Oh, yeah, right.

Jingle bells, jingle bells,

jingle all the way.

Oh what fun

Oh, sorry.

This could be important.

You promised.

Oh, what fun it

is to ride in a one horse

open sleigh.

Hey!

Mom, I'm tired.

Don't worry, honey.

We'll stop at the next motel.

Mom, are we there yet?

Good question, Mase.

Motel owner said it

was in this direction,

but it's not marked on the map.

That's weird.

Yeah.

Must be even smaller

than I thought.

But the address that

your grandpa gave us

was on this road.

Didn't he tell you

how to get there?

He said we couldn't miss it.

- Mom, stop, stop!

- What?

What is it?

Look!

Did you see something?

Look up there.

It's a reindeer.

Isn't it?

Mason!

Mason!

Mason!

I mean it.

Get back here.

It's totally a reindeer.
