Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer Page #2

What were you saying?

Id have to sell?

Oh, sell a lot, the way

these pastries taste.

Careful, grandma. Dont drink too much

eggnog without your medication.

Youd think at my age youd

outgrow an allergy to eggs.

Now, whered I put those pills?

Ive got some mistletoe and holly. Whos

going to help me with the decorating?

Cant. Have to call my boyfriend.

Sorry, grandma, got to dash to the gym.

Uh, Id love to, but Frank

The games just starting on TV.

Ill help you, grandma.

My little man.

Thanks.

Nobody understood me like grandma did.

Christmas time was as important to her

as it was to me.

Well, we did it.

Thats right on the nose, Jake.

We did it.

The sooner you go to sleep,

he sooner Santa will come.

Grandma, Daphne says

heres no such thing as Santa.

Well, thats because she

doesnt believe like I do.

Have you ever seen him?

No, but Ive seen him in the smiles of people

who share with others every Christmas.

If you ever run into him, say hi for me.

Good night, Jake.

Grandma got run over by a reindeer

walking home from our house

Christmas Eve.

You can say theres no such thing

as Santa,

but as for me and grandpa, we believe.

Well, Im fixing to take these

extra cookies and cakes

to the volunteers at the Cityville

community services building.

Its too late to go out now, grandma.

If Id had some help I would have been

finished hours ago.

I was busy.

Sorry, had to finish my homework.

Last-minute shopping.

Youve been drinking too much eggnog.

Please, dont go!

Were begging!

Besides, I left my medication

at the store.

On, Donner! On, Blitzen!

Its him! Santa Claus!

He is real!

Grandma, watch out!

Come on, everyone!

Hurry! Grandma got run over

by Santas reindeer!

Jake, close the door and get in here.

Santa hit grandma! Grandma needs help!

The only person who needs

help in this family is you.

Now, Jake, calm down. Take a breath.

Okay, Santa Claus was

flying low like this.

And grandma was walking like this

and is here, and

Now, honey, you must have had

a bad dream.

In case you havent noticed, Frank, your

son suffers from a dreaded affliction.

What affliction?

The Santa Claus is real syndrome.

Hes got all the symptoms:

Writing lists to Santa, checking them

twice, good behavior,

falling asleep before midnight.

I figure he gets it from his grandma.

You saw what happened, didnt you,

grandpa?

Im sorry. Were you talking to me?

I was too busy watching grandma get

run over by a reindeer-drawn sleigh.

Yes!

What a sight!

Sleigh come out of nowhere.

Grandma takes a header into the

snowbank. Sleigh vanishes

like the ghost of Christmas past!

And thats whats called an advanced

case of Santa Claus is real syndrome.

Oh, honestly, grandpa.

Weve got to go help grandma!

Nothing is out there.

Frank, do something.

Look, Jake, if I call the local shelter

and have grandma speak to you

will you go to bed?

But she wont!

I saw her!

I told you Santa hit her with his sleigh!

Call the police!

Thats right, officer.

Missing.

Hit by Santas sleigh.

Yes, weve been drinking eggnog.

Theyll be out first thing in the morning.

And what did you see, young man?

I saw grandma get run over by a reindeer.

Here we go again.

Sorry, son, impossible.

Right here in the manual.

Theres no such thing as Santa Claus.

Is, too.

We got a code 12-25:

Santa Claus is real syndrome

family dispute.

Come on!

Ill show you where she got run over.

When we found her Christmas morning

at the scene of the attack

See?

she had hoofprints on her forehead

and incriminating Claus marks

on her back.

Okay, weve got some reindeer hoofprints

and sleigh tread marks leading to a

Oh, yeah!

What appears to be an impression of a

person in the snow, look there. But, uh

How do we know its grandma?

Doofus knows!

Thats one of grandmas shoes.

Thats her special Christmas mug.

Her medicine.

And her cookies and

her fruitcake!

Officer Lyon, check this out.

Ooh, what do you make of this?

Offhand, Id say thats animal hair.

Reindeer, 15-hands high, 12-point buck.

By the markings, a sleigh-puller. Powerful,

capable of flight, age unknown, one of a

But its just a guess.

Okay, then. Ill just put it down

as sleighicular hit-and-run.

Whats the code for that?

You should remember that one.

Its a 12-24.

Oh, right, 12-24.

I get it.

Just a minute, Sherlock.

Before you put out an APB for a sleigh

driven by Santa Claus

who, may I remind you, does not exist

Id like to know where grandma is.

Good point. We can work

the Santa angle later.

Better get looking for the old broad.

Well need a photo of the missing person.

That started the biggest grandma hunt

in Cityville history.

The police searched every

nook and cranny for granny.

Time passed, and police kept

looking and looking.

Months went by.

We looked and looked.

I even got permission to put

grandmas picture on milk cartons.

Nothing helped, not even stories

on the local news channel.

Grandma was nowhere to be found.

Grandmas Christmas gifts remained

unopened and people dressed in black.

Grandpa tried to cope by playing cards

with cousin Mel.

It wasnt any better at the store,

either. Mom and dad tried their best.

But without grandma,

customers stopped coming in.

My office said you called

and wanted to see me.

I wanted to apologize for the way

grandma treated you last year.

Did anyone ever tell youre very good

looking for a man with

deep pockets?

I was dusting.

Well, go dust somewhere else!

You cant tell me what to do.

Its grandmas store.

That reminds me, are you still interested

in buying this establishment?

Well, its the ideal location for our

sleighmobile division.

Good, because I know grandma

would want me to sell it.

I have the deed right here.

Unfortunately, your names not on the

deed, just grandma and grandpas.

But if grandpa agrees,

then I could buy the store.

Im sure I can trick I mean,

get grandpa to agree.

Youve been so depressed

since grandma disappeared.

Thats why I had you bring me to my

favorite restaurant to cheer you up.

Ill cure your sorrow.

Well spruce up the store, order

new merchandise, hire a baker.

Its right here in these papers.

All you have to do is sign.

Sing?

No, sign.

Sure.

So, sign.

Id rather sing.

Grandmas spending Christmas

with the superstars

since that reindeer ran her down

that fateful night .

Grandmas hanging out

with all those late, great stars

for the heavenliest Christmas of her life.

Shes standing under the mistletoe

with Elvis.

Hes been consoling her

because shes missing gramps.

Then Elvis offers her the keys

to a new Cadillac,

well, well, and a couple of sheets

of Elvis postage stamps.

Grandmas spending Christmas
