The Town Christmas Forgot Page #3

town say, Coleman knows cars.

Yeah, we heard.

We can find something to do

for four hours. Thank you.

That's the thing. Four hours to fix it,

2 days to get the parts bussed in.

Sorry about that,

folks.

Hey Sam, you got that

corned beef on rye for me?

This is not

what I wanted.

Can I sleep

in the SUV?

There's no other place. It's

the only hotel in town.

Two days?

Dad!

Just...

Put your stuff down.

I don't think there's

a remote.

Well there's an on switch

on the set, so. See?

Okay guys, we don't have a choice.

Okay?

This is

the only place.

And we're here for who

only knows how long.

We're never gonna

get out.

Snow?

Find MTV.

I don't think they

have cable, sweetie.

Please, can we go

somewhere else?

No, no, there's no choice.

This is it. This is it.

So let's just try and make

this as easy as we can, okay?

Just... just, if we keep

our shoes on

and don't use

the bathroom,

we'll have

a good time in here.

Oh yeah, candles burnin

low, lots of mistletoe.

Lots of snow and ice,

everywhere we go.

Choirs singin' carols,

right outside my door.

All these things

and more.

All these things

and more.

It's what Christmas

means to me, my love.

It's what Christmas

means to me, my love.

Oh, yeah

And you know

what I mean.

I see your smilin' face,

like I never seen before.

Even though...

I'll be back as soon

as I can.

Do you really think you

can accomplish anything?

I dunno,

but I'm gonna try.

We're never gonna

get outta here.

Trish, honey,

it's not that bad.

My friends are never

gonna see me again.

I am gonna get us

outta here, promise.

You okay, bud?

Watch this.

Daddy, save us.

Hey look, I made

the picture better.

You're actually

crazy!

We're not related,

we're not related!

Hey, there.

Hey.

Got a fresh cup of joe

for you. Black, right?

Yeah, thank you. You

seen Coleman around?

He's probably over at the

Legion cooking up some grub.

We've got some less

fortunate families in town.

Coleman gathers up some

things, prepares some food,

gets some presents for the kids,

sometimes he even delivers.

What like a soup

kitchen?

I guess you could

call it that.

Oh he's a good man,

that Coleman.

He's like that walking

spirit of Christmas.

Well let's hope it rubs

off on the rest of us.

Some of the boys have

been having a hard time

since the mine

went south.

That's why it seems like the perfect

time for a Christmas pageant.

You are a one woman

chamber of commerce.

Ah, the pageant used to be the

biggest celebration in town.

Everyone came out,

even the grouches.

We had a parade

out there.

Once, we even had

a movie star.

Well, not a really big star,

she did some parts
