I don't know why I bother. It's impossible to compete with tawdry entertainment like MTV, Nintendo, the New Children on the Block...
“Deck the Halls” · Season 1
In this episode: Will Smith (3), Philip (1), Vivian Banks (1), Ashley Banks (1), Geoffrey Butler (1)
Come on, Ashley. Let's write our letters to Santa.
Will, don't you have something better to do with your Christmas vacation than writing some silly letter?
Come on, Ashley. You can help me with mine. How do you spell Vanessa Williams?
Ashley's right. What are we fighting about? We all used to love Christmas. Now we take everything so seriously.
We're putting together a program for Jonathan's parents' party tonight.
Jonathan's stepfather is a record producer and he asked us not to do tired old Christmas carols. Here's our program.
[Takes a look at the program] Wait a minute. "You Don't Bring Me Flowers", "People Who Need People", "The Way We Were". Who'll come down the chimney, Barbra Streisand?
You've been to my parents' parties?
Come on, Aunt Viv, this is terrible. I mean, people in Bel-Air don't know how to celebrate Christmas. I'm worried about Ashley.
What do you mean?
Growing up in Bel-Air, she never had a real Christmas. I mean, there's no sledding, there's no caroling... There's no winos making snow angels on the front lawn. I mean, y'all don't even decorate the living room.
Yes, we do. We've already started. The poinsettias, the red candles and here's the beautiful crystal nativity your uncle gave me for Christmas years ago.
Where the little baby Jesus at?
Right there.
That little disk?
There are more decorations coming. A wonderful shop in Beverly Hills comes to the house, sets up the tree and decorates it for us.
Do they open your presents and wear your sweaters for you, too?
