Nick:
I think it's a terrible holiday glazed with consumerism masked as family tradition.

Nick:
Kind of like this grotesque ham.

Kelly:
Uh.

Kris:
You leave the ham out of this.

Kris:
And who are you to talk, you look like a long lost illegitimate child of Marylin Manson.

Kris:
Hah.

Kris:
Hey Kelly.

Kelly:
Did you have sex with Marilyn Manson. Did you?

Kris:
It looks like you did.

Kelly:
Well, right now I wish I had.

Nick:
You leave mom, Marilyn and the rest of the beautiful people out of it.

Nick:
And you know what?

Nick:
I think Christmas is the worst Holiday there is.

(Silence)

Kris:

Kris:
You stole the list!

Kelly:

Kris:
Admit it!

Nick:
What list?

Kelly:
Kris, you are way out of line right now.

Kris:

Nick:
This is bullshit.

Nick:

Kelly:
Wait, Nick, no. Honey.

Hard eight, eight the hard way.

Kris:
Alright, I know you all hate my guts right now.

Kris:
Okay, I just wanted to apologize for the way I was acting last night at dinner.

Kris:
It's just that Christmas isn't what it used to be. And I'm having a hard time dealing with that.

Kris:
I mean people have written songs about me.

Kris:
Parents would take their kids to the mall to sit on a complete strangers lap...

Kris:
dressed up like me, so they could tell them what they would want for Christmas.

(Kris sigh)

I just, I just really miss that.

Well you were acting like a jerk last night.

We have so much to be grateful for.

Kelly:
Everything you've done for us...

Kelly:
And you deserve to be happy too.

Kelly:
So we forgive you.

Kelly:
Right Nick?

Nick:
Yeah I forgive you.

Nick:
I don't hate Christmas. I just wanna do my own thing you know?

Nick:
I don't wanna be Santa.
