It's so beautiful.

Thanks a lot, Michael, now we gotta

get more lights for our house!

(ALL LAUGHING)

I think you'll manage, Griff.

You'll find some.

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

(CHUCKLING)

Whatcha say, man? It's

Grandpa's guitar!

God, isn't that amazing?

That's very cool.

It's awesome. Mmm-hmm.

Maybe we can play

something together.

Maybe.

Let me just learn how to play guitar.

(LAUGHING)

Yeah, I'm working' on this myself.

Then, we can play.

Jocelyn!

Bob!

Merry Christmas!

MAGGIE:
Hi, Bob.

(SCREAMING)

Oh, my God!

(MICHAEL SINGING) On the

first day of Christmas

my true love gave to me

A bat in a belfry

(ALL CHUCKLING)

On the second

day of Christmas

my true love sent to me

Two slimy slugs

and a bat in a belfry

On the third day of Christmas

my true love sent to me

Three grinchy friends,

two slimy slugs

and a bat in a belfry

(ALL TALKING INDISTINCTLY)

That's me.

That's Uncle David.

That's...

That's Grandma.

When my hair was long

and red and gorgeous.

MICHAEL:

And that's Maggie.

(ALL CHEERING)

And this was the most

exciting time of all,

going to the mall

and seeing Santa Claus.

(ALL TALKING INDISTINCTLY)

- MICHAEL:
Don't laugh at me.

- MAGGIE:
Where did your hair go?

MICHAEL:

It went far away.

(ALL LAUGHING)

SUSAN:

It went to the North Pole!

MICHAEL:

Way to go, Grandpa.
