It's Christmas.|They can maiI us the contract.

-How do I expIain this to the guys?|-Are you nuts? Watch this.

Hey, guys.

Nobody wanted to come. Lou's mom|wants to cook Christmas dinner.

Yes, Merry Christmas, boys.

I'm going to see my famiIy.

This is great! I'II take|the 40 to Highway 2, and then--

Why don't you take the car?

It'd be so much faster that way.

Oh, man!

Now, where did he say that spot was?

There it is.

Come on, Mac.

Merry Christmas.|Have a great vacation.

Merry Christmas.

Thanks.

Feet are for waIking!

Frost. You big butthead.

Forget it, Rory.

He's no fun to pick on anymore|since his oId man died.

Yeah? WeII, it's time|he gets over it.

I never even met my oId man.

-Want a Iift home?|-No, I'm not going home.

You shouIdn't waIk in the road.

No one's around. It's aII right.

Okay, weII, I'II see you tonight.

Why?

I'm baby-sitting.

WeII, not baby-sitting.|You're not a baby.

We can hang out|whiIe your mom Christmas shops.

AII right.

See you Iater, CharIie.

Sorry, dude!

Damn it!

Damn it!

I can drive through it.

ReaIIy, it's okay.

No, it's not okay. HoId on.

It's okay. It's okay.

Come on, Mac.

This ought to do it.

Kiddo, it's getting coId!

That's my branch!

Okay, come on.

Come on. Come on!

This is unbeIievabIe.

When I was a human, nothing.

Come on, Chester--

That's the coIdest wedgie|I ever had.

WeII, Iook what we have here.

Man!

Something's missing.

Nice work, baII number three.

Man, it's bad enough|my ticket got punched. . .

. . .but to come back Iike this!|It's embarrassing.

I've put myseIf back together|after some rough nights. . .

. . .but this is ridicuIous.

Don't panic.|Just act reaI casuaI.

Yeah, just act casuaI.

Wait a minute. I'm a snowman.

There you go.

HeIIo there.

It's good to see these again.

Let's get you bundIed up.|It's going to be a coId one.

Back off!

It's the snowman.

No! Mom, he's aIive!

WeII, I'd better be going.

Not so fast.|Honey, are you sure you're okay?

Oh, man, why me?

Why a snowman?

I mean, couId the universe|reaIIy be that unoriginaI?

I don't know.

Is it the name Jack Frost?

Because if that's it,|that's not even cIever.

I shouId accept it.|I'm a frozen freak of nature.

I just want to know why.

I'm just--|CouId you just give me--

CouId I just have some kind of sign?

Been hearing great things about you.|SeriousIy.

Sid, come here!|Wait, wait, wait!

Where you going?

Wait.

Thanks for the heIp, Sid!

AII right, wait a minute.|I just have to puII this together.

When I saw my refIection, I denied it.|That was my deniaI period.

I go off on Sid.

CIearIy, I've had my anger period.

That's what they say you do.|First you deny, then you go into anger.

I just have to accept it.

I accept I'm a snowman.
