Fink Family 2033 Christmas

December 1: Wilbur the Elf on the Shelf
Bonnie: (reading) "'Dear Lorenzo and Nathan, my assignment has begun, as you know Santa sent me here, I am his friendly little helper, I will be his eyes and ears, each evening I will leave, flying back to the North Pole, reporting your behavior, will you get gifts or a lump of coal? Each day with a new visit, a new hiding place is where I'll be, make sure not to touch me, or my magic will surely flee! Love, Wilbur.'"

[She pulls out an elf dressed in green]

December 10: Grandma Harriet Arrives
Nicole: "The Finks are getting ready to spend Christmas at Grandma Harriet's house after Lorenzo and Nathan finish school for Christmas. But first, Grandma Harriet is coming over to see Nathan in The Nutcracker and A Christmas Carol."

Bonnie: "Oh she can't wait to see you in The Nutcracker."

Nicole: "Harriet brought Fido, her dog with her."

Before the Nutcracker
Nicole: "Nathan was getting ready to dance in The Nutcracker tonight, hoping that he would not get stage fright."

Nathan: "I can't wait to be on stage tonight."

Bonnie: "Me too. And you'll be the most handsome Nutcracker prince, won't he, Mom?"

Grandma Harriet: "Oh, yes. Very handsome indeed."

Bonnie: "Lorenzo James Fink!"

[Lorenzo packs his camera in his bag]

Lorenzo: "Yeah?"

Bonnie: "Are you ready yet?"

Lorenzo: "I'M COMING!"

Bonnie: "Let me take a look at you."

Lorenzo: "Okay."

[Bonnie inspects Lorenzo, who is wearing a blue formal suit complete with a red necktie]

Bonnie: "Why Lorenzo, you look handsome."

Lorenzo: "How do I look, Grandma?"

Grandma Harriet: "You look absolutely handsome."

Bonnie: "Who's going to look after Fido?"

Grandma Harriet: "Don't worry, dear. I have a friend who can take care of Fido for tonight, for tomorrow night and Christmas Eve."

Nathan Gets Changed

Sandra: "You too, Nathan."

[Lorenzo pulls out his video camera to record Nathan's performance]

Bonnie (whispering): "Lorenzo, put that camera away."

Aftermath
Grandma Harriet: "Nathan, you were really wonderful as the Nutcracker prince tonight! I can't wait to see you in your school play tomorrow night."

Before A Christmas Carol
Nicole: "The family was excited to see Nathan perform as Tiny Tim from A Christmas Carol at his school play. Their young son was so eager and excited that very day."

Bonnie: "Nathan will make a great Tiny Tim in this play, wouldn't he mom?"

Grandma Harriet: "Yes, he will."

Nathan: "God bless us, everyone."

[Bonnie and Grandma Harriet laugh]

Nathan: "I am also looking forward to seeing Sandra again, she's playing Spirit of Christmas Past."

Nicole: "Nathan is playing as Joseph in his church group's Nativity scene at church. Sandra was the Virgin Mary."

Aftermath
Bonnie: "Would you like to help mommy with the baking?"

Nathan: "Someone's been eating all the fudge."

Grandma Harriet: "Oh my word."

Nathan: "Mom, someone has also eaten the cookies."

Bonnie: "At least the Gingerbread house is still there."

Grandma Harriet: "And so is the figgy pudding."

Singing Christmas Carols
Nathan: "We should sing I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas!"

Time to Open Presents
Nicole: " "

[Nathan looks inside his stocking]

Nathan: "Mom, I've got a gift card to Build-a-Bear Workshop, a chocolate Nutcracker, some white chocolate coins, some milk chocolate coins, a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Mickey's Treat DVD and a pair of mittens!"

[Lorenzo looks inside his stocking and finds nothing but big, fat, dirty lumps of coal]

Lorenzo: "What the fuck? I got coal!"

[Lorenzo's anger rises]

Lorenzo: (in a low voice) "Santa... Nathan..."

[Nathan opens up all his presents]

Nathan: "Wow! A Nintendo Switch, an Adventure Time DVD set, a Super Mario 3D Land 3DS game, a Wreck-It Ralph Wii game, Big Hero 6 DVD, a New Super Mario Bros. U game, a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Mickey's Big Splash DVD, and a Nintendo 2DS XL!"

[Lorenzo opens up his present to find a note from Santa saying, "Lorenzo, you were so bad this year. You menaced your little brother Nathan, shoplifted from several stores, tortured your mother, got kicked out of schools and even used vulgar language. Signed, Santa" in cursive]

[Lorenzo's anger rises even more]

Lorenzo: "I'M SO GONNA KILL YOU, NATHAN!"

[Lorenzo lashes out at Nathan]

Nathan: (screaming) "MOMMY, HELP ME!!!!"

[Bonnie manages to pull Lorenzo off Nathan]

[Nathan bursts into tears because he was badly hurt]

[Bonnie takes the crying Nathan to the couch and they both sit down]

Bonnie: "Calm down, Nathan, calm down..."

Nathan: (still crying) "Lorenzo smacked me across my face. He nearly smashed my face against the floor and he punched me and bit my arm."

Bonnie: "Lorenzo, that is not very nice. Lorenzo, where are you?"

The Missing Presents
Nicole: " "

[The doorbell rings]

Grandma Harriet: "I'm coming!"

[The cousins Isabelle, Rochelle, Tony, Francesca, Gino and Donatello along with Aunt Susan and Uncle Samuel arrive]

Aunt Susan: "Merry Christmas everybody!"

Grandma Harriet: "Please do come in!"

Francesca: "My presents, they're all gone!"

Tony: "Mine are missing too!"

Rochelle: "I can't find my presents either!"

Isabelle: "Oh no, my presents are gone too!"

Grandma Harriet: (arriving with a box of tissues for Bonnie) "Well let's go see who stole them."

[Tony spots Lorenzo with the stolen presents]

Tony: "PRESENT THIEF, PRESENT THIEF!"

Rochelle: "Aunt Bonnie, Lorenzo stole all our presents!"

Bonnie: "Lorenzo, that is so greedy of you! Why did you do something that is greedy?""

Lorenzo: "I didn't get any presents, just coal."

Bonnie: "Santa put you on the naughty list so you don't get any presents until next Christmas. Now return the presents that you took."

[Lorenzo gives his mother a dirty look as he reluctantly gives back every present he had taken]

[The doorbell rings]

[Bonnie opens the door to reveal Nathan's friend Sandra and her mother and father]

Sandra: "Merry Christmas, Nathan!"

[She runs up to Nathan and gives him a hug]

Christmas Dinner
[A cat meows]

Dinnertime
Nicole: " "

Lorenzo: "NO! I am not eating those Brussel sprouts."

Bonnie: "Just try them."

[Lorenzo tosses his Brussel sprouts at his cousins]

Tony: "Hey!"

Gino: "What's the big idea?"

Rochelle: "Ow, quit it!"

[Lorenzo sees Fido under the table and begins to feed the dog Brussels sprouts]

[We see Sandra and her mom and dad praying to God for their Christmas dinner]

[Suddenly without warning, a Brussels sprout lands right into Sandra's soup, splashing it all over her pretty holiday dress]

Sandra: "No! My new dress!!!! It's ruined!!!"

Aftermath
Bonnie: "What is the matter with you, Lorenzo?! I don't understand why you had to cause so much trouble during the holidays."

Lorenzo: "It's because I miss dad. There, I said it."

Bonnie: "Now Lorenzo, just because you were put on Santa's Naughty List and attacked Nathan does not mean you have to make everyone else unhappy."

Lorenzo: "I don't give a shit Bonita Annabelle Fink!"
