Deck the Halls Page #4

Buddy Hall. And you are?

No, I didn't mean we should literally...

I was speaking metaphorically.

That's it. I don't...

Sometimes, my stupidity astounds me.

I got an idea. How about if you and I

come up with a series of hand signals

so I'll know when you're gonna talk weird?

I'll see you tomorrow.

This is gonna be good. Get that

satellite image up that you had before.

Go on. Here, honey, you sit here.

Yeah, sit right there and watch.

- There's so many buttons.

- I'll do it. Move.

OK, you do it. Where are you going?

Stick around. I want you to see this.

- You still can't see it.

- You're gonna miss it.

What? You can't see it? It's impossible.

I put so many more lights on.

Honey, you're gonna get it. You'll get it.

I gotta go bigger.

- Oh, hi.

- Can you order me more of these?

- Sure.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

- What's that?

You're gonna love this.

It's a horse-drawn sleigh.

- You don't see many of these around.

- No, you don't.

Nice.

I'll take it.

- No!

- Come on. Why?

Get away from me with that.

I'll call Child Services.

One look at that and they will put you away.

Maddy. Maddy.

We always wear matching sweaters for the

family Christmas card. It's all right.

Please?

Look, huh?

Please.

- Are we ready?

- You see, Mom's wearing hers.

OK, Mom's old and married.

She doesn't need the self-esteem.

- I still have something to live for.

- It's true.

Madison's right.

She's got her whole life ahead of her.

It's more than I can say for some of us.

He does this every year.

He starts acting all depressed

so people feel bad

and buy him bigger presents.

- Hey! The new neighbours have reindeer.

- Reindeer?

Wait. Wait. Wait.

Hey, Steve, what do you think?

Oh, my God.

It's so cute.

Where in the world did you find it?

Eugene Young down at the hardware store

sold it to him. Isn't it beautiful?

Beautiful.

Yes, and these horses... these horses...

I especially like the way you've

duct-taped the antlers to their heads.

Yeah, well, apparently reindeer

are not indigenous to the region.

- That sweater is really cool.

- Yeah, is it Marc Jacobs?

I'm not sure. I have so many, it's

kind of hard to keep track these days.

Well, this has been fun.

So let's go take the picture, huh?

Wait, what picture? Your Christmas picture?

You should take it here in the sleigh.

- That's a great idea.

- No, that's a horrible idea,

because we take our picture in front

of the fireplace. It's a tradition.

- Wouldn't it be nice to try something new?

- No, I don't think so.

Here's a hat. Take the picture in

the sleigh. You put the Santa suit on.

- You'll take the picture in the sleigh.

- That's silly.
