The Christmas Eve Page #3

'Twas the night before Christmas

and the prettiest sights

Were my sweetheart beside me

in the bright Christmas lights

...until they got home.

When they looked at the car door

handle, and they found a hook!

Ginger, cut it out! You're

giving me the creeps!

Oh, come on,

I was just teasing.

Come with us, you.

Ginger, I couldn't stay mad at you.

What's that sound?

Oh, no, you don't. I'm not

falling for that again.

No, I'm really, really

seriously not kidding.

Ginger!

Patricia, don't!

D'oh! D'oh! D'oh!

That's the most ridiculous

the thing I've ever heard.

- That's not how it goes.

- You weren't there!

All right, everyone,

I've had just about enough!

All I wanted was a nice

Christmas with my family.

That's exactly why we're all here!

Come on, let's finish tellin' my story.

No, Hipster, that's not what I meant.

And get out of my chair.

- Hey, what's this?

- Hipster, let go of the book.

- Why are you whisperin'?

- I'm not kidding. Give me the book!

- Floyd!

- Yeah?

- No, Floyd!

- Oh, yeah!

My eyes!

Stop, drop and roll, Julia!

- Somebody get some water!

- I got it!

Don't worry, Shun,

everything is under control!

Oh, boy.

- The tea is ready.

- I got a fan.

I want everybody out

of my house right now!

Well, that's a very nice way to

treat your guests on Christmas!

And if you think I'm gonna give you

a present now, you are sadly mistaken!

Do you want to give me a present?

Then go away!

- That's all I wanted!

- Fine! I'm going!

Good, then go!

You go and have yourself

a merry Christmas.

- Leopold Sinclair!

- And a "D'oh, sandwich" to you too!

- We could come to our house.

- We have plenty of lobsters.

Now maybe we can...

Francesca? Where are you going?

Leopold, you just kicked

everybody out on Christmas.

Well, that wasn't Christmas.

That was chaos!

Look, I know it didn't

go like you wanted.

What I wanted was a perfect

Christmas for me and my family.

- That was our family.

- Do you call that a family?

That was a natural disaster!

On Christmas, that's how it

works. Yes, it was crowded.

Yes, it got

a little out of hand.

- Francesca, they lit me on fire!

- Leopold...

I had everything under control until

they showed up and ruined my Christmas!

- Your Christmas?

- I mean our Christmas.

For you, and the baby.

Christmas is not just about

you or me. Or even baby.

You just don't get it.

I have to go. I need to

apologize to our friends.

Francesca, wait.

I don't understand why

Leopold had to be so mean and cranky.

We were tryin' to do what you wanted!

- What're you talking about?

- What you said this morning.

You and Leopold wanted to

have a big, noisy family Christmas.
