“Christmas” · Season 3

In this episode: Lois (2), Malcolm (1), Reese (1), Hal (1), Dewey (1), Francis (1), Grandma Ida (1)

Oh, hi, mom. How nice to see you home

I have HAD IT!

[Dumps out the contents in the paper bag and turns off the lights to the Christmas tree. She is stuffing all the presents in the bag.]

Mom, what are you doing?

I am taking everything! Every decoration, every present, every tree and I'm locking it in the garage. Every single Christmas, you three burn, break or destroy and I'm putting a stop to it.

She's stealing Christmas.

Mom, you can't do this.

Yeah, this'll be the last year Dewey believes in Santa.

WHAT?!

If you boys behave until Christmas morning, there will be a Christmas morning. Otherwise these are going back to the store and Christmas will be cancelled!

[to Lois] You wouldn't cancel Christmas! You're bluffing.

[Scene cut to reveal Reese crying over his burning stocking and Lois looks on in sadistic satisfaction knowing her threat of cancelling Christmas will come true.]

[In the last flashback, Lois and Hal are seen running around in front of a burning Christmas tree form the boys' prank]

Who did this?! Who did this!

Drop and roll honey!

WHO DID THIS!!!!!!

For God's sake, honey. Drop and roll.

[Francis has found a closet of Christmas gifts Ida has kept for petty offences]

Oh my God, you're crazy! I just thought you were evil but you are nuts!

What are you talking about?

Grandma, gifts aren't conditional; they're gifts! You give them to people because you love them. They're not something you can take away because of some petty slight. You're not teaching people anything, you haven't gotten back at them; they don't even know they've upset you. All you've done here is constructed a monument to your own insanity! WHAT KIND OF A PERSON DOES THAT?!

A lonely, bitter old woman [she sits down]

What?

Look what I've done. What use is all these things to me now? They could have brought someone some happiness; instead, they rot here. [Ida clutches her heart]

Grandma?

My heart...I think it's...melting! [Francis rolls his eyes] Yes, it's melting! You've shown me the way, Francis, by yelling at me! Quick, go get my magic sled, and me and my reindeer will go and give Christmas to all the mean, stupid, rude people! We'll all join hands and sing songs and sprinkle the ingrates with fairy dust!
