Christmas in the City Page #4

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.

Mm-hmm.

- No, I'm only planning

on being here

until Christmas, though.

- Yeah, well, everyone gets one.

It's like their gift

to all the employees

who work at the store.

- That is amazing.

- Last year, I was able

to send my mom to the spa

for her birthday because of it.

- Oh, believe me, I heard

all about the spa trip.

- I'm a mama's girl.

- Yeah, you are.

- Seriously, this is the most

family-oriented place

you'll ever want to work.

They even support my

musical theater career.

- How?

- you'll see.

- Wait.

- Let's go stock some shelves.

- Okay.

- And I'll teach you how

to work the register, okay?

- Okay.

- Toyland

toyland

little girl and boy land

while you dwell within it

you are ever happy then

childhood's joy land

mystic merry joy land

once you pass its borders

you...

- Ugh. This is awful.

We need better music.

- Never be the same again

- Whoo!

- Thank you. Mwah!

- You want to show me something?

Okay...

This is the one you want, right?

- Yeah.

- okay.

- Whoa!

- oh!

- Oh, my gosh. I almost fell.

- Don't want to have

to fill out an incident report

on your first day.

- Thank you, Mr. wolman.

- Please, it's Tom.

- Tom.

- I'll see you soon.

- Okay.

Here you go, buddy.

Merry Chris... aw.

Merry Christmas.

- You gotta get with it,

you gotta get with it

you gotta get with it

hunky Santa

you gotta get with it,

you gotta get with it

you gotta get with it

hunky Santa

you wanna be cool

with the kids at school?

- Nice.

- Hunky Santa will be

in the store

you gotta get with it

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

That is not like any

Christmas Carol

I have ever known!

Oh, we have

our very own Wendy carroll

right here in the store

right now.

- That's right.

- Nick.

- Oh.

- It's a pleasure.

This is a shame.

Lately, people have forgotten

that Christmas is not

about getting,

it's about giving.

Last year, I barely kept

the spirit alive

when I was visiting

a store in Canada.

- Oh, so you work in other

stores besides this one?

- I like to spread the joy

somewhere different every year.

Last year, I was in Vancouver.

The year before that,

I was in Moscow.

- Oh, wow, Moscow?

- I know! I know!

It was cold. So cold!

Colder than the north pole,

I'll tell you.

Oh, my, I... I'd better get back.

- Oh.

- I am so glad that you

still have the spirit, Wendy.

- Hi, Santa.

- Excuse me.

Merry Christmas, kids.

- Are you sure about teanna,

uncle Harry?

Have you seen her, and that

Minion she always has with her?

I know she's supposed to be

some marketing whiz kid,

and I'd be happy if she could

turn things around,

it's just... she walks around

like she owns the place.

- Wasn't my decision
