The Mistle-Tones Page #3

It's healthier

than it looks.

Boys would puke if they knew

they were eating veggies.

Well, this is

my dinner.

Holly!

Grace!

First of all,

Marci is a frigid biatch,

and second of all, if you want

to go Christmas caroling so bad,

we'll go with you.

Yeah. Me, dad, Gary...

I'll force the kids.

They'll hate it.

It'll be great!

I don't want to go

Christmas caroling.

I want to be

a snow belle.

I want to perform

at the mall...

Christmas Eve...

Just like mom did.

I know,

it sounds stupid.

It's not stupid, sweetie.

Boys! Food!

You know what? Forget

about the snow belles.

Why don't you start

your own group?

You can't just start

your own group.

Why not? Mom did.

Don't...

Put your hand

anywhere near their mouths

when they are eating.

You will lose

a finger.

Uhh. Stupid snow belles.

I should start my own group.

Even if I did, it's not like they'd

let us perform at the mall, anyway.

Excuse me. Who's in

charge of the mall?

Merry Christmas!

Santa? I need to ask you a

question about Christmas Eve.

Ha ha ha! Uh...

What do you want for

Christmas, young lady?

I know you're

not Santa claus.

Ha! Good.

You kind of threw me

there for a second.

I mean, I figured

you were a little old.

But it's a mall, right?

The place is full

of wackos.

What can I do you for?

I don't know.

I mean, every year

it's the snow belles.

It's just

the way it is.

Yeah, but theoretically,

can't another group

audition for

the Christmas Eve show?

Speaking strictly

theoretically?

Beats me. But I already

got the snow belles

on the sign

out front, so...

You know?

Yeah, I know.

Well, I mean it is

just a sign out front.

I could have my guy Carl change

that thing in, like, five minutes.

Yeah! Sure! You know

what we could do?

We could have tryouts

like that American idol!

Really?

Why not?

I'm the manager. I can

shake things up if I want.

We could make it

this really big thing

a week from Saturday...

Anybody who wants to

gets a chance.

And the best group will

perform Christmas Eve.

How's that sound?

Wait. I don't have

a group yet.

We were just speaking

theoretically.

Lady, we are way

past that.

I already got Carl out

front, changing the sign.

This is gonna be

awesome.

That

Christmas Eve

is our night.

And what... now we have

to compete for it?

It's unjust

is what it is.

The snow belles have

always performed

at the deck the mall

Christmas spectacular.

We're the only spectacular

thing about it!

I told you we should've

picked holly.

Barb! Please!

Now, if holly thinks that she

is gonna steal this from us,

well, she...

She...

She is peppermint-barking

up the wrong tree.

Oh, that's good!
