[ "JINGLE BELLS" PLAYS ]
YOU LOOK GREAT IN THAT HAT, DARLING. VERY FESTIVE.
[ SNICKERS ]
I'M SORRY. YOU DIDN'T BUY THAT, DID YOU?
[ LAUGHS ]
YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'RE WEARING A GIANT, RED, WOOLLY CONDOM.
PLEASE DO NOT WEAR THAT TO MY CHRISTMAS PARTY.
HEY, I AM ADORABLE IN THIS THING.
AND ALSO, I CAN'T MAKE IT TO YOUR CHRISTMAS PARTY.
I'M SORRY. [ LAUGHS ]
TERRY, PLEASE TELL ME
THAT THIS IS ONE OF YOUR JOKES I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
IT'S JUST, THE LAST FEW CHRISTMASES
HAVEN'T BEEN SO GREAT FOR DANNY.
ANYWAY, THAT IS ALL GOING TO CHANGE THIS YEAR.
I AM GONNA BLOW DANNY'S CHRISTMAS MIND.
WE'RE GONNA DO EVERYTHING THE WAY MY MOM DID FOR ME --
TURKEY, CAROLS, CHRISTMAS MOVIES.
YAWN!
Umpire: STRIKE 2!
SO, WHAT ARE YOU GETTING YOUR MOM FOR CHRISTMAS?
MAYBE BANGS...?
WAIT. NO. THAT WOULD BE MORE A GIFT FOR ME.
I WANT TO GET MY MOM THE PERFECT GIFT.
BATTER'S OUT! THAT'S GAME!
IT WAS A FOUL!
HEY, DINGUS!
HOW MANY TIMES I GOT TO TELL YA?
IF YA BUNT THE BALL WITH TWO STRIKES ON YA
AND IT'S NOT IN PLAY, YOU'RE OUT, YA DINGUS!
YAY! DOUBLE DINGUS! YAY! DOUBLE DINGUS!
HEY, HERE'S THE UPDATED CHRISTMAS TOURNAMENT SCHED--
SHORTS.
OH, WE'RE PLAYING ON CHRISTMAS DAY?
TERRIBLY INCONVENIENT, I KNOW, BUT --
NO! NO, THIS IS PERFECT! I LOVE CHRISTMAS GAMES!
THEN OUR LITTLE BASEBALL FAMILY
CAN HAVE A GREAT CHRISTMAS TOGETHER.
WHO THE HECK PLAYS BASEBALL ON CHRISTMAS?
UH, LOSERS DO -- IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
THEY ARE NOT LOSERS!
YES, WE ARE.
WE HAVEN'T SCORED A SINGLE RUN ALL YEAR.
FACE IT, COACH -- WE'RE A JOKE.
YOU GUYS, I USED TO LOVE PLAYING ON CHRISTMAS
WHEN I WAS A KID.
HEY, YOU GET UP, YOU OPEN PRESENTS,
THEN YOU GO TO THE FIELD.
THE CANNON WOULD COACH. MY MOM WOULD MAKE HOT CHOCOLATE.
IT'S THE BEST!
OR YOU COULD JUST FORFEIT
AND GIVE THE REST OF THE LEAGUE THE DAY OFF.
FORFEIT!
[ ALL CHANTING "FORFEIT!" ]
FORFEIT!
STOP YELLING "FORFEIT"!
COME ON, YOU GUYS. WE ARE NOT QUITTERS.
WHAT HAVE I BEEN SAYING TO YOU ALL YEAR?
DON'T LET YOU FORGET TO PAY YOUR CELLPHONE BILL ON THE 21st?
YES! THANK YOU.
ALSO, NEVER GIVE UP, OKAY?
WINNING -- IT TAKES HARD WORK, GRIT, DETERMINATION.
NOW RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU'RE STILL A QUITTER.
DANNY, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT RAISING YOUR HAND.
WELL, LOOK AT THAT. MAJORITY RULES, SO IT IS A FORFEIT.
[ ALL CHEERING ]
YAY!
COME ON, YOU GUYS!
GOOD JOB. COME ON!
WELL DONE. WE'RE THE ANGLES!
WE STICK TOGETHER!

THAT'S WHAT I DID WITH MY MOM AND CANNON WHEN I WAS A KID,
AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE GONNA DO, BUDDY.
AND, OF COURSE, OPENING PRESENTS.
NOW, IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE GIFT UNDER $37,
IT WOULD BE...?
YOU DON'T HAVE TO GET ME ANYTHING.
I JUST WANT US TO HAVE THE PERFECT FAMILY CHRISTMAS.
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE KIND OF OBSESSING
OVER THE HOLIDAYS THIS YEAR.
HEY, I OBSESS ABOUT THINGS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO US.
HO HO HO! [ GASPS ]
MERRY CHRISTMAS! LIFELIKE SANTA!

W-WHAT ARE YOU DOING CREEPING AROUND THE HOUSE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT?
DAD, IT'S 8:15. I WAS OUT IN THE GARAGE.
I FOUND SOME OF MOM'S OLD CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS,
AND I WANTED TO PUT THEM UP.
PUT THEM BACK. IT'S NOT HAPPENING.
MY BUDDIES AND I, WE, UH, WE DON'T DO DECORATIONS, OKAY?
YOUR BOYS?
UH, EARL, LOUIE, STINKY PETE.
OH, WOW.
YOU STILL DO THAT STUPID POKER GAME.
HEY, AND STINKY PETE?
THE ONE WHO STOLE MY BICYCLE AND THEN USED IT FOR DRUG MONEY?
HEY, CHRISTMAS IS ABOUT FORGIVENESS, RIGHT?
NO. NO. IT IS ABOUT SPENDING TIME WITH YOUR FAMILY.
REALLY?
WELL, THEN HOW COME I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU ONE CHRISTMAS
SINCE THE TIME YOU MOVED OUT?
DAD, WE INVITED YOU TO SPEND CHRISTMAS WITH US EVERY YEAR.
YEAH, RIGHT -- THAT WAS WITH YOU, DONNY,
AND THAT GEEK OF A HUSBAND THAT YOU HAD THERE.
THAT'S AN AUTOMATIC "NEVER."
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?
YOU KNOW, WHEN MOM WAS ALIVE,
YOU WOKE ME UP AT 6:00 A.M. TO OPEN PRESENTS.
YEAH, WELL... THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO.
YEAH, WELL, I WANT DANNY TO HAVE A PERFECT CHRISTMAS,
SO JUST CANCEL YOUR LITTLE POKER NIGHT
AND ENJOY IT WITH YOUR FAMILY.
I'M THE ONLY FAMILY THAT THEY HAVE.
AND THEY WILL MISS THIS TERRIBLY. THEY LOVE IT.
WELL, I DON'T WANT TO SPEND IT WITH A BUNCH OF STRANGERS.
THEY ARE NOT STRANGERS.
THEY'RE MY FRIENDS, ANDARE PLAYING POKER.
NO, WE ARE HAVING CHRISTMAS.

YEAH, THEY ALL HAVE THE RIGHT ATTITUDE -- QUITTING!
SO SIMPLE. SO EASY.
SO WHAT I SHOULD HAVE BEEN DOING.
SO, YOU KNOW WHAT, TEAM?
I AM ON BOARD WITH THE "I CAN'T DO" ATTITUDE.

THIS IS OUR TRADITION RIGHT HERE.
WE PLAY CARDS,
WE DRINK A LITTLE BEER, WE HAVE FUN WITH THE NOELS.
THAT'S WHAT WE DO.
BECAUSE WE GOT NOTHING ELSE, YOU JACKASS!
THE REASON OUR CHRISTMAS TRADITION WAS BORN
WAS BECAUSE EVERYONE WE WERE RELATED TO
WAS EITHER DEAD OR DIDN'T WANT US AROUND.

IS BECAUSE WE AIN'T GOT NOBODY.
YOU GOT SOMEBODY -- TWO SOMEBODIES.

BUT IN FACT...
THEY WERE KEEPING ME ALIVE UNTIL YOU SHOWED UP.
