Carson Family 2027 Christmas

After Black Friday and Hello, Chuckles the Elf
[The malls are overcrowding]

Daryl: "Man, Christmas shopping gets even more dangerous every year!"

[Daryl suddenly gets trapped among the crowd, and can barely get past the people]

[5 minutes later, the people finally move and Daryl starts Christmas shopping]

Daryl: "This is gonna be the best Christmas ever."

[On the way home, Daryl stops at the cemetery and places a rose on Doris's grave]

Daryl: "Merry Christmas, Doris. The kids miss you as much as I do. Especially Claire."

[11 minutes later, Daryl comes home]

Daryl: "So kids, are you ready for Christmas?"

Andrew: "Yep."

Daryl: Good, because here is a very special elf on the shelf I'd like you to meet...Chuckles. This little elf has been sent by Santa Claus from the North Pole to watch everyone of you and see exactly what you are up to. Each night until Christmas Eve, with Christmas magic, this little guy flies back to the North Pole to let Santa know whether you've been good or bad. And then every morning, you will find him in a different hiding spot; however, his Christmas magic will disappear if you touch him and then he won't be able to fly back to the North Pole. So don't touch Chuckles.

[Daryl places Chuckles the Elf up on the shelf]

Baking Christmas Cookies
[Daryl gets out Christmas cookie mix]

Daryl: "So kids, are you ready to make some Christmas cookies?"

Billy: "Yeah."

[Daryl and the kids start making Christmas cookies, ones of bells, Christmas trees, Santa Claus, stars and candy canes]

[Daryl puts the cookies in the oven to cook]

Daryl: "They'll be done in a few."

[Minutes later, the cookies are baked and set on the counter]

The Christmas Cookie Swap
[Claire sees the cookies and switches them with cupcakes, hides the cookies in the cupboard]

[Daryl comes back into the kitchen to find the cookies in the cupboard and the cupcakes on the plate]

Daryl: "Claire Evelyn Carson!"

Claire: "What is it, Daryl?"

Daryl: "Please do not call me by my first name, call me Daddy. Did you put all the Christmas cookies in the cupboard?"

Claire: "Yeah."

Daryl: "Claire, honey, cookies do not go in the cupboard. They go on the plate."

Claire: "Yes, Daddy."

[Daryl takes the cupcakes from the plate and puts the cookies back onto the plate]

Claire: I heard you saying something 'bout cookie swap.

Daryl: (chuckles) Of course. But cookie swap does not mean you swap them with another treat, it is a small get-together where people bring their homemade cookies, and they exchange cookie recipes.

Daryl: "They do, Claire."

[Daryl and the kids drive around more to see the lights]

Claire and the other kids: "Wow...."

Listening to Christmas Music
[Daryl locks away all the explicit music to discourage Claire from listening to any of it]

Daryl: "There, this should keep Claire from listening to all this explicit music. I suggest listening to Christmas music is good. And she's too young for that type of music anyway."

[Daryl pulls out some Christmas music CD's and puts one of them in the CD player, and the song, "Angels We Have Heard on High" is playing]

Daryl: "Nothing better than listening to Christmas music."

[John is getting out Christmas cards]

Sean: "Yeah."

[The performance begins]

[Claire is seen flipping off the other performers, and the audience gasp in shock.]

Daryl: "Claire, don't flip off the people in the play. That is not nice."

Claire: "Whatever you say, you f***ing doofus."

Daryl: "Come on, Claire. Come with me."

[Daryl walks Claire to the hallway and puts her on a bench]

Daryl: "And you're staying on this bench until the play's over."

Claire: "This is my brother's Christmas play! I wanna see this play!"

Daryl: "You should've thought of that before said the "F" word to me, and before you gave the performers the finger. Now while you're in timeout on this bench, I want you to be on your best behavior in timeout. Understand?"

[Daryl goes back into the auditorium]

Andrew: "God bless us, everyone."

[Claire gets up from her chair and snatches the pumpkin pie, but Carly walks and grabs the pumpkin pie from Claire, Daryl picks up a screaming Claire and walks up to the spare bedroom, then he and Andrew smack Claire on her head and put her suitcase on the bed]

Claire: "Why should I pack my stuff? I didn't have any pumpkin pie yet!"

Daryl: "That's because you have your attitude and this mayhem to thank for that. You're packing your stuff because you were having an attitude at dinner. We're going home because you ruined Christmas. You ruined it for me, your aunts and uncles, your cousins, your siblings and even for yourself!"

Claire: "YOU'RE A TOTAL PIECE OF (bleep)!"

Daryl: "That is not very nice to use that language."

Daryl: "Stop crying, Claire. I told you if you kept acting up, you weren't getting anything for Christmas this year."

Claire: "But I said I was sorry, Daddy."

Daryl: "You embarrassed me in front of the entire family!"

Claire: "What's the big deal? I wasn't trying to get everybody in trouble."

Daryl: "Then why did you cause a big mayhem at dinnertime?"

Claire: "Oh, wait, I get it now. I will try my best to straighten up so I can get some presents next year. I'm sorry, Daddy."

Daryl: "Apology accepted. But if you're really sorry, you will understand why you didn't get anything for Christmas this year."

Claire: "That doesn't make sense, because I'm already punished by not getting any gifts, Daddy. Please can we just go back and get just one piece of pumpkin pie?"

Daryl: (sharply) "No!"

Claire: (screams) "WELL FINE! IF THAT'S HOW YOU FEEL, THEN YOU CAN JUST DROP (bleep)ING DEAD, YOU SON OF A (bleep)! YOU JUST GO TO (bleep), YOU USELESS PIECE OF (bleep)! WHO WOULD WANT ANY PIE ANYWAY????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Aftermath
Daryl: "Your behavior at Christmas was completely embarassing."

Carly: "Totally."

Daryl: "Stop being so mad at people, Claire. Carly and your siblings think so, and I think so, even more than they do. We do our best for you, and since you were born, we've stuck with you. You may be my daughter, but why would that give you the right to say whatever you want to your siblings and to me?"

Claire: (screams in Daryl's face) "(bleep) YOU!"

Daryl: "That's it. You are grounded for the rest of this holiday vacation for what you've done."

Carly: "Starting now."

Daryl: "This means you will stay away from your play car for five weeks. You will not watch Winnie the Pooh for a month. You will eat whatever we are eating. And say goodbye to all your toys and dolls, Winnie the Pooh stuff, and coloring books for two months because they're going into toy jail. All that's happening until you learn to behave again. And after New Year's, you're going to boot camp. And no TV until next year. I'm serious."

Claire: "YOU STUPID MOTHER(bleep)ER! I WANT MY PLAY CAR, MY COLORING BOOKS, MY DOLLS, MY TOYS AND MY WINNIE THE POOH STUFF! AND I WANNA SEE THE BALL DROP ON NEW YEAR'S EVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!"

Daryl: "You should've thought of that before you started acting up."

[Claire shows both Daryl and Carly her closed fists with only the middle fingers extended]

Carly: "You do not flip us off. That is definitely not very nice. We mean it about your grounding. And the rest of your siblings will back us up."

[Claire storms in her room and slams the door, and locks it]

Claire: "I HATE YOU!"
