Too Many Christmases (2024)

Post by bunniefuu »

[bells jingling]

[upbeat music]

It feels like way too

much this Christmas

This Christmas

There's people flooding

all these streets

Oooh

There's no way I'm

'bout to be down

'Cause I know you're

coming to town

And you'll be here with me

Be right here with me

- Aint no way man,

I'm calling big cap.

You mean to tell me you don't

miss your ex-wife at all, huh?

Sometimes, right?

But then I remember I

never signed a prenup

and then I hate her

a*s all over again.

- Mm.

- You and Kayla,

ya'll ain't signed a prenup?

Did they?

They sure did.

Smart man.

No, whoa, whoa.

Hold on now

everybody, all right?

We did not sign a prenup.

Not because of divorce,

but we just wanted to

remember who we were

and you know, keep intact

everything that we amassed

before we became

husband and wife.

That's all.

- Y'all don't have

a shared account?

Shared account?

Man, they don't

even live together.

- Hold on. That's

not entirely true.

Kayla does stay

with me at my crib.

His crib.

That's what I'm talking about.

Not they crib, his crib.

Come on, bro.

You know what I mean?

- Right?

- Yeah, okay.

- She's still got her

apartment, you know,

just in case she want to

go home, do her thing.

You know, we could spend

time together maybe

five, six, seven

days out of the week.

And then, you know,

we do our own thing.

It's a lovely system.

You're my hero.

Well, thank you, brother.

- You cannot live your lives

together from different houses.

And as a matter of fact,

these jokers don't even

celebrate the holidays together.

That's not true.

We're supposed to

do it this year.

This gonna be the

first Christmas that she's coming over,

spending with the family,

mom and pop, yeah.

Oh yeah.

Mhm.

- God don't like liars.

- A lot is changing.

Come on, if I'm

lying, I'm flying.

Look at it.

Ahaha!

Your boy has arrived.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Look good.

Uhhh...

Wanna be me?

No!

- You know, Christmas ain't

Christmas without the ones

who love you more

than you love them.

See, Santa Day came a little

bit early for your boy.

Look at here.

Bow!

So I got the oh-so fresh

kicks from Gabriela,

the watch from Ashley

and the pants from Tracy.

It's a little tight

for the crotch area,

but boom, that boy look good.

See, you know, they

ain't returning to Mack

because the Mack never left.

[Lavar laughing]

[Jerome mimicking Lavar]

- And uh... what you

got them for Christmas?

[Lavar laughing]

Hm?

Not a doggone thing.

They got me. You feel me?

- Have I ever told you I'm

embarrassed to be your cousin?

All the time, cuzzo.

But it's a natural thing

to hate something you ain't got.

- Ain't got?

[Bryson chuckles]

- Hey Jerome.

- Hmm?

- Would you please tell

this misinformed brother?

I gots me a lady.

- Oh, you do?

- Yeah.

You do?

See, ever since he got

his braces taken off

and these little wave implants,

he thought he is cute now.

Oh, you ain't cute brother.

Hey Rome, you ever seen this

"lady" he talking about?

Uh... No, not yet.

Huh, so how you know she's not

being held against their will?

- Hey man, everybody gonna

meet on Christmas, all right?

[men groaning]

- Oh, everybody gonna meet

on Christmas. Everybody-

He put his foot down on that.

Lemme put my foot down.

I hope you got some

kicks like that.

What you looking at

Blake Gryphon Jr.

Huh? You want these?

Hell nah.

- You know I- I never

seen a logo with a man

sitting on the ball.

- Yo!

[men laughing]

Ah, that's crazy.

Sitting on the ball.

- 'Cause- 'cause he wrestling,

these ain't- these ain't retros.

- They the futures.

- Oh the futures?

[men laughing]

- Look like he

squatting over the sun.

- It seems like Gabriela...

was on a little budget.

- Oh, no, no, no, we don't

need the budgets over here.

It is a thousand dollars

per foot from France,

from France, Amazon, France.

- The brother is

sitting on the ball.

What's it, injury timeouts?

- Is he playing

hopscotch, soccer or what?

Why is he juggling

over the ball?

Look like he trying

to hop the moon.

- What grocery store

did you get those from?

[men laughing]

The flagrant foul aisle.

The flagrant foul, wow.

All right man. It's cool, man.

Y'all got it.

All right. All right.

Cool, the ladies still like me.

That's why your lineup crooked.

- Technical fouls,

get on outta here.

See, you need a new barber.

All these barbers suck.

[door slams]

[men laughing]

[phone ringing]

- Hey, superstar!

- Hello

Oh, okay.

You extra.

- How's Vegas?

- I don't know, I'm not there.

Oh, okay.

- Well, where are you?

- Standing outside

my sister's basic a*s apartment

waiting for her to let me in.

Oh my gosh!

No way!

- No! Hi!

- Hi!

- Oh my goodness.

- Gorgeous.

- First of all, this

apartment is not basic.

- Get my door. Get my door.

- You're right.

- Uhuh. Yes.

- It's not the apartment.

- Oh.

- It's you.

Oh, ouch.

- Well, next to you,

RuPaul is basic.

- Ooh, I'm glad you said

it so I wouldn't have to.

Oh my gosh.

Uh- What are you doing here?

Thought you weren't coming

home for the holidays.

Why would you think that?

- Because you told

us you weren't

coming home for the holidays.

[LeeLee laughing]

What do you mean?

Girl, have I ever

missed Christmas?

Haven't I always been here

to sing with mommy at church?

- Oh, well darling,

you're famous now.

I'm not famous.

My bank account's just

a little healthier.

- Okay, so you mean to tell

me that you turned down a tour

with Alicia Keys

to come be with us?

- Nothing's more important

than being with my family

for the holidays.

- Alicia cancelled the tour.

- Oh.

- But I'm glad she did,

I was meant to be home.

- Okay, well, you darling

should have texted me.

- Baby, that's not

how surprises work.

I'm spending the holidays

with Jerome and his

family this year.

- Oh, you better

tell him you lied.

Y'all don't spend the

holidays together.

Y'all don't even live together.

Yes, we do.

- Then why are you here

and not at the house

I helped you move into?

- Okay, first of all, this

is my place that I come

and escape to when I

wanna get some space.

- All y'all have had is space.

- Oh gosh.

Well, this year is

going to be different.

- [LeeLee sighs]

- Mhmh.

- I hate to bring this up, but-

[clears throat]

there's no holiday if...

ooh girl, you missed your cue.

[snaps]

Let's try this again.

[clears throat]

There's no holiday if...

One of us are away.

- And since I'm not away,

bring on the holiday.

I have plans!

Oh my gosh. Seriously.

- Look, you wanna

break tradition?

Fine. Snap it in half.

I guess the word family

doesn't mean what it used to?

Oh no.

- Not the fake cry.

- I told myself

I wouldn't cry.

He's crying.

You know the drama,

save that for your mama.

Why do I gotta change my plans

'cause you wanna come by and

throw a wrench in things?

- Girl, you know,

mama mess around

and cancelled Christmas again.

There's no holiday

if one of us is away,

that means you too, sweetie.

You know what?

I just thought about something.

It reminded me that in

December, flights be

so cheap going back to LA

because you ain't even

tell mom you was even here.

So let me check these

flights real quick.

They looking real ni-

- No, you didn't.

- Hmm?

- Really?

- That's a cute picture.

That's a cute picture.

Oh my gosh!

Mm.

Baby, I'm home.

Hmm.

All right, something

smell good up in here.

Ah, dinner is served.

Voila!

Thank you, baby.

- Yes, my baby

- Yes...

Please have a seat.

- Have a seat...

- Okay.

...and make yourself at home.

- [Kayla chuckles]

- Yeah, I am at home.

Right. Okay.

Hmmm...

Looks delicious.

- So this is dinner?

- Yes, babe, this is dinner.

You always said you

wanted dessert for dinner.

- And how many times

have you told me no?

- That was then, I'm doing

something new, babe. Okay?

I made my baby just a bunch

of dessert for dinner.

Babe. Come on, here.

Try one of my treats.

Open up your mouth 'cause

my baby's so sweet.

Yes he is.

You're not opening your mouth.

- No, I'm not.

- Babe, what is the problem?

Like, I thought this

would be a great idea.

This is- you don't like this?

- Baby.

- Yes.

- I usually enjoy when

you do nice things for me.

You know I do when

you go the extra mile,

but right now you're

doing a little extra,

which makes me suspicious.

So what are you up to?

- Me being extra?

- Yeah.

[high pitched]] - I

wouldn't say extra.

[high pitched unintelligible]

[high pitched] - Your

voice just goes so high.

Oh my god.

- Oh, look at that.

- Babe, listen.

Okay. So um...

So Christmas plans are

a little bit modified.

[clears throat]

- So what does that mean?

- Huh?

Uh... Christmas

plans have changed

and they're back on

at my mom's place.

Ow! Yes!

- Wait, wait, wait,

wait, wait, wait.

Hold on. What?

LeeLee is in town.

He came to my place today.

He surprised me.

It was so amazing.

So, yeah, that's the new plan.

[Kayla chuckles]

Am I getting this straight

you want to spend Christmas

separate as husband and wife?

No, babe. Not separate.

You are going to be with me.

We're gonna be together

at my mom's place.

- Yeah, no, that's

not gonna work out.

You know, Christmas is my

mom's favourite holiday,

and it's my dad's birthday.

It's dad, Jesus, Christmas.

All on the same day.

It's action packed.

We've already committed to them.

- Okay.

- Well, hold on.

Can't you tell your family we're

already gonna be at my place?

[mysterious music]

Mom, grandpa.

Oh, I love you both.

But I've decided that I'm

going to spend Christmas with

my husband and my

in-laws this year.

[mom crying]

- You see what you

did to your mother?

You did this.

I did this?

- My only daughter

has forsaken me.

- The Lord is faithful

and he will respect you

and protect you

from the evil one.

Really, guys?

Oh, no. Hell no.

Look, bro, can't you

just tell your family

that you're coming to my

parents' place this Christmas?

There's been a change of plans.

Yeah. Uh-huh.

[mysterious music]

- Mo- Mom, dad...

you know, I love you

guys both very much.

Right?

I'm not gonna be spending

Christmas with you

this year though.

I'm gonna be with

Kayla and her family.

But I love you guys very

much, and happy birthday Pops.

Somebody gonna say something?

Louis,

get my g*n.

No, no.

I'm not trying to die.

No, no, no, nope.

I'm not doing it.

I'm not doing it.

Die? You're being so dramatic.

- Really? Come on.

- Dramatic?

Are you kidding me?

LeeLee pops in town,

surprises his sister.

And?

My mom is a regional

operations executive.

She's always busy.

- She's never home.

- She's always travelling...

... she'salways working.

Christmas is a time that

we get to spend as a family.

Okay, babe.

I'm not trying to

make this competition,

but it literally is

my dad's birthday.

That kind of trumps everything

that you just said right now.

- Really?

- Yeah.

You know what? Okay,

if it trumps everything,

why don't you spend

Christmas doing your thing?

And I'll spend

Christmas doing mine

and we'll find a way to

do it together next year.

Fine with me.

- Don't do that.

- Why? Why not?

Babe, come on. Stop.

Let's be realistic, all right?

I'm not trying to

break up your family.

You are not trying

to break up mine.

- Sure.

- And as

our first year married,

we said no more separate

Christmases, yeah?

Yeah. I did say that.

So what I'm saying is

that, is there a way

to make everybody happy?

Yeah.

Be in two places

at the same time.

Oh my gosh, Jerome.

Jerome. Jerome. Scoot over.

Scoot, scoot, scoot.

Move, move, move.

Baby, that is brilliant.

One day, two Christmases.

Oh my gosh. Yes!

One day, two Christmases.

That's perfect.

Oh my God.

- You been drinking?

- You know I don't drink.

Are you kidding me?

Listen, Jerome. No, no, no.

I wanna honour the commitment

I made to your family

just while not disappointing

my family in the process.

Okay, sure,

So we're just gonna

bounce from house

to house and nobody's

gonna notice.

Yes.

You got a car, I got a car.

- I pull up. You pull up.

- I'm joking!

Huh?

What? I think it's brilliant.

How is that brilliant?

Are you kidding me?

- That's- That's genius.

- No, this is awful.

That sounds like

a bad TV scenario

where everything goes wrong

and then the husband gets shot.

- Ahah!

- You want me to get shot?

- Ahah! No, no,

no, that's the TV.

This is real life,

nobody getting shot.

- That's gonna be even worse.

- No, babe, listen.

Think about it.

This is a perfect,

perfect solution.

Your family lives in Beacon.

My family lives in Newburgh.

That's like 15 minutes

apart from each other.

Especially on Christmas.

There's no traffic.

So we can get there

easily back and forth,

babe, you are so

[kisses] brilliant.

Oh my gosh. That's the solution.

One day, two Christmases.

Oh, it's so perfect,

it'll be magical.

And we get to spend our

Christmas holiday together.

[Kayla squeals]

Love, baby.

- You know, if this goes

wrong, and I'm sure it will,

I'm blaming you for

all this, right?

When do you ever blame me?

[dramatic music]

Okay, we got this.

Grandpa. Hi.

Oh, my sweet baby.

- How are you?

- Oh, blessed.

Not stressed.

All right, I love to hear it.

- You look wonderful.

- Oh, this little old thing?

Yes. Yeah.

LeeLee actually got it for me.

- Oh okay...

- I'll see you inside.

Go! [mouths]

Okay, see you in a beat.

Mhm. You too baby.

- Just say hi to him.

- Nooo.

Come on...

Dad.

Hey Grandpa!

- Demond.

- Dad, he goes by LeeLee now.

- I don't know

anybody named LeeLee.

Oh God.

You named him Demond.

I'm calling him Demond.

What are you wearing?

- Clothes.

- I hope you brought something

- to change into.

- Dad, his clothes are fine.

- On a woman.

- I'm not changing.

Oh God.

- You will if you wanna

sing in this church.

- Okay, I'll pass then,

I'll see you inside.

Okay.

- No-oh-h*!

- You think you can

walk up in the house

of God looking all

crazy as all get-out?

Dad.

- No, I don't want

you dressed like

that in this church Demond.

Well, I'm not changing.

You gon' send me home?

No, you can wait in the lobby.

- Dad, you can't keep

him outta church.

- I can keep him

outta my church.

It's bad enough, he

can't give you grandkids.

He can give me grandkids.

How?

He gonna knock up one

of his boyfriends?

- Dad! What is wrong with-

No, no, no, no.

It's one thing

not to like women.

Now he's trying to be one.

I gotta draw the line

somewhere, Regina.

Dad...

- LeeLee and I get up

there and sing every year.

And you have never had a

problem with this before.

- He never looked

like that before.

I don't know who to fuss

at more, him or you?

Me?

- Yeah, you and Warren

never knew how to say no.

[Regina sighs]

Dad, LeeLee is his own person.

So this look is permanent?

If it is, I want

nothing to do with him.

- What about Christmas?

- I won't be there.

- There is no holiday

if one of us is away.

I didn't make that up,

I got that from you.

- I can't celebrate Christmas

without my grandson.

- Your grandson LeeLee

is right over there.

I don't know who LeeLee is.

I know Demond.

Excuse me.

Lee.

Just go back inside, Mom.

- I don't wanna

sing without you.

- His church, his

rules, just go.

- Okay.

- I'll be fine.

I'll be out here, just go.

Just go.

I love you.

[bright music]

He is

He is

The reason

The reason

We celebrate

We celebrate

This is

This is

The season

The season

Jesus was born to save

We believe and

we'll proclaim

Forever give him praise

Forever give him praise

He is

He is

The reason

The reason

We celebrate

We celebrate

He is

He is

He is

He is

He is

He is

Family is everything.

Y'all didn't hear me.

I said family... is everything.

And so is Christmas.

But Christmas is about more

than just spending time

with your loved ones.

It's about honouring

the traditions passed on from one head

of the family to the next.

A strong family unit would

have no legs to stand on

without a house of

tradition to nourish them.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Because traditions don't break.

[congregation applauding]

Now, I've been doing what I do

for a long time, and

it's all worth it.

[sombre music]

Knowing that I could

look at this crowd

and see my beautiful

family right up front.

There's my daughter Regina,

and my granddaughter Kayla.

[sombre music]

- And LeeLee, this

is just a question.

I'm not saying that

you have to do this,

but honey, have you ever

considered, you know,

dressing differently

just to avoid the drama?

Now, you know, I don't

care what you wear,

but your grandpa, he does.

I mean, he's just

from a different time.

Come on, roll that in.

- That means I

know he's stubborn,

but he gets a pass

'cause he's my grandpa.

- Lili, I am not asking

you to change for good.

- Just when

grandpa's around, ma,

you're asking the

wrong person to change.

- I mean, I just don't want

us divided on the holidays.

- Dad would have never

asked me to change who I am

'cause grandpa's not

ready to deal with it.

[sombre music]

LeeLee.

[sombre music continues]

LeeLee.

[sombre music continues]

- You know, your father

is still the first

and last thing I

think of every day.

- It doesn't feel like

it's been 15 years.

You're right LeeLee.

Your father would never ask you

to be something that you're not.

But you would.

I just want peace, baby.

Even if that means giving

your grandpa what he wants,

it's just for one

day, he won't be here

if you dress like that.

- I'll have a blue

Christmas without him.

- There's no holiday

if one of us is away.

Now you two might not see eye

to eye, but he's still family.

- Mom, you saw what

he did tonight.

Oh, I know.

Grandpa's stubborn, but so am I.

I'm gonna wear whatever

I want to today,

and especially

tomorrow on Christmas.

- He's still your

grandpa no matter what.

You know, it's not

too long ago, you two

were thick as thieves.

- That was before I wasn't

allowed inside his church.

I didn't even get

to sing with you.

Christmas is on the horizon

Mom, what are you doing?

My troubles melt away

As new a hope is a rising

Thanking God for his joy

Given through his baby boy

And there's so

much more for us

On the horizon

[both chuckle]

- Come on.

- Oh, okay, okay, okay.

Put some brakes on him.

Baby, hold on. Hold on.

How many times do we

gotta go over this?

- Oh, we're gonna go over

this till we get it right.

Okay?

Are you ready, soldier?

- Yeah.

- I said,

are you ready soldier?

Attention!

That's what I'm talking about.

Okay, so we're gonna get to

your parents' house at 1:25 PM.

Correct.

To which we'll have small

talk with the family.

Obviously we'll ask mom

if she needs any help.

To which she'll refuse, but

knowing her, she can't resist.

We'll ask again.

She'll temporarily

put us to work.

Perfect. Okay.

So once Gwen, Bryson

and Bryson's girlfriend

arrive, you know,

we'll let everyone have

small talk and and chitchat.

That'll give us some

time to get settled.

- Mhmm.

- Okay?

- To which 2:00 PM, we'll

throw on Christmas with Cletus.

Which is my pop's

favourite Christmas film.

- Yes.

- And it's also

three hours long.

Absolutely. Three hours long.

That's perfect.

What I'm gonna do

is I'm gonna sneak

outside and have a

little phone call.

It's really gonna

be you calling me

and that's gonna take

me to my parents' house.

And I'm gonna stall

for time while

you get your little

behind over there.

- I'll still be watching

Christmas with Cletus.

I'll probably watch out

for about 30 minutes,

which should be safe.

Everybody in the family

will be sleeping except

my pop because well,

he just loves the film.

I'll be like, pop, I

gotta go check on Kayla.

That's when I'll immediately

bounce to your mom's crib.

Perfect. Okay.

So then dinner at my place.

It's not gonna be till

about like six o'clock

because my Uncle Marvin

and Aunt Harriet,

they gotta get there first.

You know, my mama

never lets us do dinner

until they are there.

- And your mom talks so

much to which you know us.

We're gonna find ourselves

a room within the house.

You and I'll sneak out.

We gotta recharge our batteries.

But in fact, we're jetting

back to my family's house.

We'll have Christmas

dinner there.

Oh wait, we forgot.

Presents back at our

house, now we gotta leave.

We'll end back up at your

mom's crib for a second dinner.

Okay, there we go.

So then after dinner number two,

you know something gonna happen

with your stomach, you

gonna get the bubble guts.

And then after that what's going

to happen is we are gonna

go to your parents' house.

So we can have

dessert over there.

Then we get a little

cake for some,

you know, for your dad.

It'll say happy birthday and

we'll do a little celebration.

And then after that, no,

there's nothing after that.

That's the plan.

And you know why this double

celebration is gonna work?

Baby, you're over

here eating a cookie.

Tell me why the double

celebration's gonna work.

- Because we ain't

going to take photos.

So there'll be no evidence.

- Geez.

- There we go.

No evidence left behind.

And I've already emailed this

celebration to both of us.

It's in the group calendar.

And then, you know, who knows,

we might get caught up

at the Christmas spear.

We might forget a couple things

or you know Gwen's weed

might be a little strong,

we might get a contact high.

So after that, oh

it's gonna be great.

We're gonna be so festive.

And then, ooh, you

know what else I did?

What?

- I set the text message

alerts on our phones,

so we ain't gonna go, ooh,

we ain't gonna miss a thing.

- You know you get so

sexy when you take charge.

Get over here mama.

- Oh!

- Come on.

- Oh well you like that.

- I do love that.

- You know what happens when

teamwork makes the scheme work.

Oh, you better say that.

- Say it again.

- Teamwork

makes the scheme work.

My baby. You ready?

Let's do it.

Come on, come on, come on.

Oh whoa, whoa, hold on!

It's Christmas time! Let's go!

- You gonna be

dragging me around?

[upbeat music]

Dad, what do you mean why?

Because it's Christmas.

Yes, Harriet and Myron

will be here too.

Dad, dad, dad, I

talked to LeeLee.

He said he's going

to be presentable.

Yes.

Your version of

presentable, not his.

Dad, dad.

The only thing you need to

do is bring yourself okay?

Bye.

[Regina sighs]

By any means necessary.

[bright music]

- Ooh, look at you,

pretty as you wanna be.

Beyonce ain't got

nothing on you baby.

Ow!

Man, why you looking like that?

I could pass for Dominican.

Look at this.

Anyway, like I took her home

Went dizz-own.

She told me she was single.

- It's always a teachable

moment with you.

Hey, how you doing?

- I'm good.

- Me- Merry Christmas.

- Hey.

- Hey mama.

Where's Lavar?

Uh, he was in the living room.

He was in here.

- No, mama. Where

is he? I don't-

- Oh, okay. Well, I-

- Oh whoa, whoa, whoa-

Where you going?

- I'm going to make sure

he didn't get to my food.

food is protected.

Look at that.

It's a beautiful

spread, I got you.

How about you go relax-

In fact, show Bry and uh- Cree.

Okay, I'm gonna do that.

You better take care of my food.

Nobody gonna touch it.

- Let me show you my candles.

- Uhuh, yep. That and...

[laughs awkwardly]

[clears throat]

What are you doing?

- Look, I'm playing hide

and seek without the seek.

Why? Ain't no games

getting played?

- Because he can't

keep it in his pants.

- Wait, wait, you slept

with Bryson's girlfriend?

- Say it out loud so the

whole house can hear you.

- Oooh!You better tell Bryson.

- No!

- What?

- At least not tonight.

All right? I can't

tell the brother

that I stuffed his girl's

stuffing on Christmas.

- Yeah, well you can't

keep hiding all day either.

Yeah, I sure as hell can try.

Watch me.

- Oh, we're watching

him, and you got stuck.

Okay. I'm gonna- Yep.

Handle that.

Heaven and nature sing

Heaven and nature

sing and it-

Myron!

Wake up, Myron.

- Uhuh no- I'm not. I'm not.

Myron!

Mhm mhm!

Come on now. You know what?

You know what? Suit yourself.

I'm going on in here.

Oh Lord.

Taking a pre dinner

nap before dinner.

But you better not

eat too much turkey.

You'll probably be in a

coma after you- Come on!

- Yeah, I was dreaming

about Angela Bassett, baby.

[Myron snores]

[bright music]

- My family doesn't really

do much for the holidays.

Why not?

- Well we've learned

that the best way to deal

with each other

is in small doses.

[Gwen laughs]

I mean, they don't have a

much Christmas spirit anyways.

Not like you guys.

Like I wish our

house was festive.

- Well, yeah, it's

nice to look at

but it's a lot to

put it together.

- And to take apart.

- Oh my goodness.

- We're 15 minutes

behind schedule.

I blame Lavar for that.

But look, it's only 15 minutes.

So lemme take care of this.

I'll get us back on schedule.

- Please.

- Everything will be okay.

- Please! All right,

figure it out baby.

I got you, I got you.

Hey!

- [Jerome laughs and claps]

- Bam, bam!

- Guess what time it is?

- What?

Time to eat?

- No, it is time to

go around the room

and let's all say what

we're thankful for you.

Yes?

- That sounds more like

a Thanksgiving event.

- Hence the name.

- Hater.

- Brother, why you always

trying to tear the family apart?

Huh?

- Thank you.

- Why you gotta do that?

This is a family tradition.

We do this every

single Christmas.

- Yes.

- No.

No we don't.

- Well it's never

too late to start.

Come on, everybody

close your eyes. Yeah?

Why? Why?

- Because we want to visualise

what we are thankful for.

Just get a big picture

of it as family.

It's like prayer, but

we're not holding hands.

Okay, I'll start.

Ummm...

This Christmas, I am thankful

for the abundance of love

that I feel within this room.

That's so beautiful, baby.

This Christmas, I am

so thankful for health.

We are all in good health.

Amen.

- Amen.

- I'm thankful for the ham

I'm about to tear up.

- I'm thankful for

all things green.

- I'm thankful for

everyone's holiday spirit.

Yes.

[Jerome laughing]

You felt that?

- Oh, felt that

one in my spirit.

That was the holiday spirit.

Oh man. I'm so thankful.

Is it me?

I'm thankful for another

trip around the sun.

All right.

And I am thankful

for everyone here.

Beautiful. That is wonderful.

Give y'all self

some hand clapping.

[everyone clapping]

I'll be right back.

I need to go do

something outside.

Oh my goodness.

Snoop Dogg in training.

- We have yet to

even watch a movie.

What's up with that?

Well, perhaps we could watch

Christmas with Cletus.

- Well, I-

- Like we would

watch any other movie

- on a day like today?

- Come on!

You better not on my birthday.

[all laugh]

- Come on pops.

- Wait, wait.

Do we really have to sit here

and watch a three hour holiday

comedy drama about a guy

who can't decide if

he wants Christmas ham

or Christmas turkey?

- Well, why can't

he just have both?

- I mean, he could, but

didn't there be no movie?

Okay.

- Bryson, the ham's gonna

take a while anyway.

- Well, I've never

seen it before, so.

[all gasp]

Ooh!

Wait, wait. What?

Oh, young lady.

What are you doing

with your life?

Christmas with Cletus is

a must see holiday movie.

A man forced to decide

between two succulent meats.

When you see it, you gonna see

it's an allegory for a lot.

It's symbolic.

A lot of people

could- Put it on!

We gotta watch it now.

Put it on!

It's an emergency situation.

You never seen it at all?

- No.

- Poor thing. Look at you. Oh.

Cree. Look at me.

Leave while you can.

You won't be able to get

these three hours back.

I'll manage.

[phone ringing]

Hey mom.

Merry Christmas!

[Myron snoring]

- What the hell am I

still doing out here?

That turkey.

I don't know what

the hell is going on.

[upbeat music]

All right. Cardio for the day.

Cardio for the day.

Don't have time.

[suspenseful music]

Deck the halls

with bows of holly

Fa la la la

La la la la la

Sang that song, girl.

Welcome. Good to see you.

- Aunt Harriet, hi.

- There's my baby.

Okay, so what are you

and Aunt Harriet

doing here so early?

- Your mom hustled us

talking about dinner

at three o'clock sharp.

Mom, dinner at three?

We don't usually eat till six.

- Yeah, I thought we start

to get in gear this year

and they were still late.

- And the food

still ain't ready.

- Okay, uh...No! What about

Wyvetta, she's not here.

- Well the cat lady ain't

the cat lady no more.

I'm lost. What?

- She had to spend some

time with her man Wesley.

Wibetta got a man?

Oh, I thought

that'd never happen.

- While we're on the

topic, where's your man?

While we're on the topic.

I see you have

attitude this morning.

My man is on his way.

He left his wallet at home.

But he'll be here shortly.

Can y'all pour me a

glass or something?

[everyone laughing]

He wrong for that.

I told you.

How did he do that though?

- What was the reason though?

- Don't open that door.

He did it though. He did it.

He did it. He did it.

- He won't stop it either.

- I knew he would do it too.

- I knew he would do it.

- Sam, it's our anniversary.

[door knocking]

Who is it?

Jerome.

- Jerome just went in

the bathroom with Lavar.

If anybody cares.

You're wrong.

Precious, welcome to my dojo.

Hey, wanna start something fool.

Make you make me play.

- You are going to eat Christmas

dinner in the bathroom.

I can't eat it out there.

And don't be stingy on my plate

'cause I will send it back.

- You know you

could just man up,

go out there and

tell her the truth.

- You know that right?

- Nah bro. She's crazy.

Like when I ghosted her, she

start blowing up my phone

and she sent her

brothers up to my job.

And I'm talking about

two crazy looking

I ain't afraid to

shank you looking cats.

She said if I ain't pick

up her phones, she go

Lorena Bobbit on me and have

her brothers make me disappear.

And I'm not trying

to disappear, bro.

I'm not trying to disappear.

Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay.

First of all, she doesn't

even seem that crazy, bro.

She's actually kind of nice.

- They never crazy

I know in that mood,

I grab the ponytail.

Hey, what's up?

- How you doing?

- Yeah, good.

Are you done in here yet?

No. No.

I'm actually just

getting started.

You know I gotta prep

the toilet paper.

- Yeah, no, of course.

- But honestly,

parents' down the hall.

- Thank you. Thanks.

- You got it. You got it.

Yep, got it.

- She gone.

- Oh my gosh. Thank you.

Oh, she's coming back.

[Jerome chuckles]

Get out. Get out.

- Ah, here he is.

[chatter]

- Sorry.

- Too bad.

Next time we got you.

But let's see... who's next?

Uh oh!

Mhmm.

Which one of you am

I going to choose?

I think I'm gonna

choose you, Uncle Myron.

Oh, start with the best.

I'm gonna start with the best.

I'm gonna make this

one easy for you, okay?

Okay.

A dog can be a

man's best friend,

but... Finish the sentence.

A dog might be a man's

best friend, but?

- He ain't licking

me in my mouth.

- He ain't licking

me in the face.

- You close enough.

- Boom!

That's close enough.

He close enough.

Gotta give it to him.

- Winner, winner!

Chicken dinner!

Gotta give it to him.

Y'all need to focus 'cause

one of y'all are next.

Is it you?

Or is it, you?

I think I'm gonna choose you...

- Oh!

- ...my baby brother.

Okay, let's see. All right.

[clears throat]

Which pair had the best insults?

Mhmm.

George and Florence...

Mhm.

Fred and Esther

or Pam and Martin?

- Ooh, good question.

- Come on now.

That's a good one.

- Come on.

- Well, they all went hard,

but I guess Fred and Esther

since they were the pioneers.

- Wrong.

- George and Florence?

Wrong.

- Pam and Martin.

- You wrong.

What's the answer then?

- Boy, they all had

the best insults.

Why would you choose?

[laughter]

No, no. I heard it.

Y'all hear it?

You said... you chose!

What'd he say?

[talking over eachother]

You chose, you said all of them.

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.

You didn't say all of it.

Guess what?

Yo black card has been revoked.

Oh, I'm sorry. Bye bye.

You're out.

Bye bye boo!

Because you made a choice

and I heard you say it.

- Mhmm.

- It's been revoked.

- Shouldn't Jerome

be here by now?

Uh... Excuse me?

Jerome?

I thought he was on his way?

Yes, yes.

Well he locked his

wallet in his car.

But when he was

getting his wallet,

he locked his keys in the car.

It's a mess.

So I had to call AAA?

- Why are you guys riding

in separate cars anyway?

- Because I had to

get here, of course.

So he wanted me to

come separately so I wouldn't be late.

But you were late?

Baby, I'm always late.

But I would've been later

had I not come by myself.

- Makes sense.

- Right?Like, it's true logic.

You sound like you

wanna be the host.

You wanna host the game?

No, I'm gonna let

you host the game

and I'm gonna go call my man.

How's that?

I'm just asking questions!

I gonna go call my

man and don't cheat.

'Cause mama, you

know he be cheating.

- I don't cheat! She

cheats- She always cheats.

- All the time!

[talking over eachother]

Okay, y'all I'll be back.

- Okay, let's go.

[laughter]

[family laughing]

[TV in the background]

[giggling]

- Aren't Christmas movies

supposed to be fun?

This is the most boring

a*s thing I've ever seen.

- Cletus, you so crazy- This

movie is giving me life.

- You just saying that

because you trying

to make a good

impression on my family.

- Oh lord! Oh okay... okay.

[panting]

[phone ringing]

Hey, babe. What's up?

Yeah, give me one second.

Hey!

Hey, did you leave yet?

- No, I have not found

a discreet moment yet.

Okay, um...

Did your family ask anything

about me not being there?

Surprisingly not.

Hey Jerome, where's Kayla?

Nevermind.

Um....

I gotta go, okay?

Babe, hurry up please.

Looks like dinner's gonna be

served earlier than expected.

- Why?

- Hurry up.

Get over here please.

I don't want my

family asking anything

'cause you know

they're super nosy.

Hurry up. Hurry up.

All right babe.

Oh! Ooh!

Boy, what are you doing in here?

Being nosy.

[annoyed sigh]

Okay, you're supposed

to be hosting the game.

- Uncle Myron is

hosting the game.

What's going on

with you and Jerome?

Nothing.

Okay.

He's at his parents' house.

Why, did you guys break up?

What did you do to him?

Nothing. Okay.

We're having two Christmases

at the same time.

Huh?

- Yeah, uhuh, we didn't

wanna disappoint anybody.

So we've been going

from house to house

and you know what we're

doing is 'cause of you.

- I didn't tell you to lie

to everyone that's asking

to get on Mom's bad side.

- LeeLee, you made

me feel guilty

for having Christmas plans.

No I didn't.

Okay. Maybe I did.

But that's what family's for.

To make you feel guilty for

doing things without 'em.

- LeeLee, Jerome is

also my family, okay?

So what you're gonna do

is you're gonna keep

your little mouth shut

and you're not

gonna tell nobody.

You gonna keep the secret.

Don't spill the beans. Okay?

Pinky promise.

Damn!

Hey Jerome.

You never answered me

man, where's Kayla?

Hmm?

Kayla left.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa- nah...

- No, she actually just

stepped out for a work call.

- But who's she

on the phone with?

The UN?

It's a work emergency.

Yeah. That's all.

You know, technicians and

whatnot, all work no play

even on a holiday.

- Jerome, what are

you talking about?

I saw Kayla drive off.

Hold on... [nervous laughter]

Bry, you really gon' believe

Gwen over me? Hm?

Remember, she's the one

who thought she saw

Tupac at the burger bar.

- You know, you think you're

so much smarter than everybody

'cause you got your

little barbershop

and you cut straight

lines without a ruler.

You know I saw Tupac. Okay?

He had his nose ring

in and everything.

Oh really?

And what was he

there performing?

His new album,

"All fries on me"?

- That hurt.

- Whoa. Wait, what?

- [VCR failing]

- No! What? No!

- Oh-h*!

Damn, damn, damn!

- Can- can you fix it?

- It was an old tape

- anyway, babe.

- It was my old tape.

That's the original from 1984.

- I'm sure we could

just stream it.

I don't want to stream it.

Wait, wait, hold on.

- Actually, pop,

she might be right.

I could probably find it free

and if not, you know what?

I'll pay for it, even

if we gotta rent it.

- That's all right.

That's all right.

It's not the same.

So I don't wanna

watch it no more.

Yes!

Now who's down for some

Christmas poker, huh?

- Let's get--

- Shut up!

Pops is upset on his birthday.

Have you no shame?

You know what?

Cree, actually did you

know Lavar, his cousins

and nephew with my mom?

- Facts.

- Where is Lavar?

He's still in the bathroom.

Upset stomach, it's

not really good.

You don't wanna go in there

right now, it's like a w*r zone.

But Mom, why don't you go

through the family album

and show Cree our

family lineage.

Merry Christmas to me, honey.

- I'm with it.

- Please don't.

Bryson hand me that book.

Boy, hand me that book.

Hurry up.

Ooh, wait until you see him.

- I wanna learn more

about your family, please.

- That's Dee 2. That's

my sister, right?

- This is Lavar's mother.

- Mother.

Now her name is Duretta,

but we call her Dee 2

because she's named

after our momma.

First name is Doretta too.

Okay, well not Doretta.

It is two of them.

Get it, right?

Okay, so now this is Clinton.

That's my cousin

on my daddy's side.

That's Lavar's daddy.

Mom wasn't actually

Clinton adopted.

Yeah, he was, but

he's still kin to us.

That's right, I always forget.

But you tell the

story. You know what?

Just keep telling Cree.

I'm gonna go check

on Kayla, all right?

Let me explain. Okay.

See he thought his

mama was his mama. Mm.

But his mama sister's...

[bright music]

Pastor Davis.

Hey. There we go.

Ain't no evidence left behind?

Dad, his outfit looks fine.

My version of presentable.

Regina, I'm not staying here.

- Dad, Dad, please just

don't do this on Christmas.

Okay?

You are here.

Let's just go have dinner.

I can cook my own food.

I've been cooking long

before you got here.

- If it is possible, as

far as it depends on you,

live in peace with everyone.

Roman 12:18.

- Peace with everyone

means peace with family.

Dad, I know it's

something you preach,

but is it something

that you believe?

- Everybody, the

roast beef is ready.

We also have macaroni and

cheese, mashed potatoes,

hot water cornbread.

The smack down is

about to go down.

Come on y'all.

Come on dad, please.

[sombre music]

Anybody want some corn bread?

You know, I'm taking one.

Did you get something?

Right down there?

- Good.

- Oh yes.

- Good corn bread.

- No one says grace?

Oh, sorry dad.

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Let us bow our heads.

- Davis, can we keep it

under five minutes please?

Figured he'd do five.

I'm sorry.

- Lord, thank you for

this day, your day.

Thank you for the food

we are about to receive.

Thank you for the hands

that prepared this food.

And Lord, thank you for

showing mercy to the folks

that have strayed away from

the path that you have created

for them, one day

they will realise

that you are never wrong

and they won't try to

contradict you anymore.

- Amen.

- Amen.

It was under five minutes.

Thank God for AAA, huh Jerome?

- Huh?

- Triple A.

The thing with your car keys.

- With the keys you

left in the car.

I called AAA for you

because you forget it.

- Oh.

- That's why he was late.

Triple A.

Yeah....

Yeah, thank God I I

would've took a L with that.

- Demond, pass the

mashed potatoes.

Demond?

He can't hear me?

- Here dad.

- I was asking your son.

Demond, you can't hear me?

- Dad, just take

the mashed potatoes.

- So LeeLee, let

me borrow $10,000.

Now when I say

borrow, I mean have.

Sure.

And by sure I mean hell no.

- That's right.

- Good job.

- Actually, I got

a better question.

How was it to work with

Megan Thee Stallion?

- Mm, she's just as perfect

as you thought she'd be.

- That's a lot of teeth,

smiling about that, ain't you?

- I'm actually trying to

get her on my next album.

When's that coming out?

Hopefully by next spring.

- You go boy.

- Okay.

Well, you know, if you have

more recording sessions

and whatnot, let me know.

I'll slide through.

With Kayla of course.

- I'll be at the studio.

- With you!

No need to be jealous.

He said we can both go.

- You know LeeLee

maybe next year

you'll come home with

a couple of Grammys.

- Huh?

- Just being nominated

is surreal.

- You don't got to be

nominated, you got to win.

Forget that nomination stuff.

[laughter]

It's time to eat now or...?

'cause I'm hungry.

I don't wanna wait.

I don't- I just- I don't

wanna wait no more.

You made all this good food.

I can't even touch it.

[phone ringing]

[family laughing]

Excuse me everybody. Sorry.

- Yeah, we won't eat

too much without you.

Or not.

Jerome, where are you?

- I'm outside.

- No you're not.

I checked.

What do you mean?

I'm in front with Kayla.

All right, just...

not in front of mom

and dad's house.

Where'd you go?

- You know- Is- is Mom

still talking crazy?

- Thankfully no,

but dinner's ready.

- All right, well start

eating without me.

- Boy, you know, mom,

not gonna go for that.

Where are you?

Bry.

I'm not...

- I'm not there.

- Jerome!

You know we, um...

we went for dessert.

We have dessert here.

- Yeah, I know, but

Kayla's so mad...

you know because she

can bring a dish over.

It's our first year of marriage.

She's still trying to

make a good impression.

Listen, we just went

to go get dessert.

We will be back.

Tell mom to start

dinner without us.

How long is soon?

- I-

You know... Bry?

- I-

- I can't hear you.

- Jerome?

- I'm losing sig-

- Jerome.

- Bry, can you hea-

Bry, can you hear?

Damn.

Wifi in here sucks.

[clears throat]

- Okay, now we're

30 minutes behind.

And the food's ready.

They ain't gonna start

eating without us.

Ah, damn.

But baby, why did I listen

to you about this playing off?

This is all going crazy.

Oh, why you listening to me?

You know why you listen

to me, I'm your wife

and you love and trust

me unconditionally.

I always support you.

But now they gonna

keep calling if we

don't answer the phone

or if we not there.

- I know how your

family gets, they crazy.

But lemme think of something.

Lemme think of something.

Give me two seconds.

Give me two seconds.

Hmmm... Hmmm...

Ooh, I got it already.

Mhm.

You do?

No I don't.

But- but go back in there.

Stall for time

and I'm gonna come up

with something. Promise.

- How am I gonna stall?

- Baby come on, we a team.

Go figure it out.

Okay?

I love you.

Love and support.

Love and support.

Okay.

You taking care of me at home.

- Okay, well- Of course.

Okay, okay.

Okay, I gotta stall for time.

What do I do? I'm so smart.

I can't think of

something right now.

I need something.

I need something that's gonna

gimme, that's gonna gimme.

No, no, no. Not that.

That's not gonna work.

That's not gonna work.

I have an idea. Oh!

Oh, this is good.

Ain't nobody going

[squeals]

- Everything's about

family and God.

- Merry Christmas.

- Merry Christmas.

- Uh-uh!

- Uh-uh!

Which one of you

finished the eggnog

and put it back in the fridge?

- Sounds like something

Uncle Myron would do.

- I would never

finish the eggnog

and put the empty carton-

Why would I leave

evidence? That's stupid.

No, no, no, no! Mom...

Mom. Do we have any more?

Baby, if there's none

in the fridge, then no.

Oh!

- Oh, mama ain't no Christmas

if there ain't no eggnog.

What?

Huh. Mom, are you serious?

We gotta go get more eggnog.

- You should definitely.

- Yeah.

Where y'all going?

To get more eggnog!

Mama, I can't do this.

There's none left.

Wait, wait.

- You gonna go right now?

- Yes.

Mom, if we leave right now, you

know we can get to the store

by 4:30 before they close.

- And you know how I drive?

- Come on.

Wait a minute.

Y'all really don't

need eggnog right now.

I do.

Oh, ooh okay. I'm comin'.

Ooh.

What is wrong with my kids?

- I don't know where

the hell they going?

- You ready?

- Yeah. Definitely.

Hurry it up.

All right. Come on.

Cookies look good.

Cookies look great. Ooh.

What's going on with you guys?

- Uh, nothing, we

went for dessert.

- Uhuh.

- Yeah.

- Kayla, how was

your phone call?

Girl, it was good.

Like what?

So your friend's,

okay, I know it's been

a while since you two spoke.

Girl. My friend is fine.

She chilling, doing

what she always does.

- Exactly.

- She's fine.

- You know you done

messed up, right?

See, Jerome said you was on

the phone with your boss.

Now you are saying

it was an old friend.

Which is it?

- First of all, she's trying

to be all in the business.

- Right exactly, not even

a part of the circle.

Not even part of the circle,

but let me clarify

it for you sweetie.

So see my friend is

also my old boss.

It is the same person.

What is going on with y'all?

I told you nothing.

But don't give me that.

Something ain't right.

Why have the two of you been

sneaking in and

out of the house?

You know what?

This is the weed you're talking.

- I'm high, but

I'm not that high.

- Uh, you sure about that?

- You can't stop.

You can't measure your level

of highness when

you always high.

- Girl, because I

got 20/20 vision.

And the both of you been

acting funny all day.

- Well, you know, if you

smoked a little less,

maybe we'd believe you.

- How about that?

- Period.

Enjoy. Gotta go.

- Gotta get in.

- Hey Miss Sally.

Did you get me too high?

No, these Negroes acting

fishier than the Red Lobster.

Ooh, sorry about that.

Kayla.

Baby, you didn't have

to get no dessert.

Oh, Miss Darlene.

I'm so sorry.

Christmas and cookies

just go together.

Mhm.

- Can we eat now?

- No.

- Not until Lavar comes

out of the bathroom, Louis.

Oh hell.

- Pass me one of

them cookies, Kayla.

Absolutely. Go for it.

- Yeah...

- Mhmm.

- Me too.

- Yes. Okay.

Absolutely.

Thank you.

Yes.

- Oh, I quite like this.

- Mhm.

They're soy cream

Christmas cookies.

- Can somebody please

go check on Lavar?

You gonna ruin your

appetite eating sweets

before all the food I cooked.

- Please.

- I'm on it Mama.

Mhm.

- Dad, you okay?

- What kind of cookies

They're soy Christmas cookies.

- Uh, these are cream

cheese filled cookies.

Cream cheese?!

Sabotage!

Ah no!

Wow.

- Are you sure-

- Oh no, I'm sure.

Hmm.

- Baby.

- Mhm?

- You do know Bryson and Papa

are lactose intolerant, right?

Yeah, I do. I do.

I'm so, so sorry.

I was busy packing

the emergency snacks.

And you were busy

watching The Parkers.

- Well, it is my show.

- Mine too.

Ohoho, Lavar let me in here.

I got use the bathroom, man.

[inaudible]

No. Stop playing.

Come on. Let in here man.

- Is he still in-

Get your boy!

Hey Lavar!

Come on man, this is

getting played out.

- Lavar can't come to

the phone right now.

Zoom calls are busy.

- Lavar, you will have a

first class mess in your hand.

I ate two cream cheese cookies,

man were they delicious.

But now I'm about

to pay for it, man.

[stomach rumbles]

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Lavar. This is an emergency.

You gotta open up. Come on man.

- Lavar, I will kick

the door off this hinges

and bring the Jackie Chan out.

Make me do something crazy.

Oh!

Make sure y'all spray.

Damn.

I feel horrible.

It was an accident, baby.

- It's okay.

- It's okay.

It could have been worse.

- You could have only

had one bathroom.

Would've been crazy.

I'm good.

It look like I lost some

weight though, right?

Oh, good guys.

- I'm really, really sorry.

- Mhm.

Well I thought you liked us.

Bryson.

She feels bad enough. Okay?

I'm okay.

I mean, I feel better now.

Only thing is I'm still hungry.

- Yeah, too bad the

food's all cold.

You know we can't eat that.

- Hey, you know Cuddy Chicken

Shack open on Christmas?

- And I got a two full,

one clucky duck leg

and thigh meal coupon.

Since it's your birthday,

you get a free slice

of peach cobbler.

Hot damn.

- What we still

sitting here for?

- Sit your $5 a*s down

before I make change.

I didn't make all this food

just for it to go to waste.

You could just warm it up.

Well, what's the point?

You're still going

to make a starve

till old big head get here.

Where'd he go anyway?

He... um...

- The guest- the-

- The-

The bathroom.

Yeah. His stomach hurts too.

Yeah. Crazy. Right?

- You know, I'm not

doing this anymore.

He actually does not

have a stomach infection.

Okay.

So what has he been

doing this whole time?

- I think that would be better

if he explained it himself.

You right.

Lavar.

Lavar.

If you don't get out here right

now, I'm gonna get my g*n.

- Oh!

- Oh!

Lavar!

Oh, he think I'm playing.

- Uh!

- Oh!

- Let's play a game.

- Okay.

It's called...

watch me pop a

cap in Lavar's a*s

if he don't get

out here right now.

Uhuhuh.

Here he comes.

We ain't gotta do that.

We ain't gotta do that.

You know what I'm saying?

- Boy, take that off.

- I can eat with his on.

Come on, off.

- I'm trying be

festive man, okay.

I'll take it off.

Lavar!

- Oh no.

- Oh my God...

What?

Come on, let's eat man.

Boy, it's gonna be close range

if you don't take this other

mask off your face, boy.

- Auntie, I'm just

trying to be festive.

Y'all always doing

this to me, man.

Oh man.

Look at these oil prices.

What's wrong with you.

What is your problem today?

- I was just, oh man,

I'm just my headache.

Lavar.

Come on man.

I already told it's

time to man up.

- You gonna tell 'em

or I'm gonna tell 'em?

- I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry.

Oh, you got amnesia looking-

Oh, the jig is up.

Cats out the bag.

Oh, I see what you

doing, that's playing.

Brys.

So um... me and your

girl Cree, we got busy.

Huh.

- Ooh... What?

She heard the boy winding

like Keith Sweat.

Oh, absolutely not.

No, I didn't, I

don't even know you.

Oh, oh, oh. You don't know me.

So you wasn't saying that

you were screaming my name.

Oh, Rodrigo.

Ooh... don't stop...

- get it, get it...

- Hold on, hold on.

You're Rodrigo?

[Lavar chuckles]

Live in the flesh my girl.

- Okay, so you are the

trifling b*stard that slept

with my sister, stole her

money and then ghosted her?!

I'm so sorry for the language.

My brothers are ready

to go to jail over you.

Oh, excuse me. Your sister?

- Yeah, when you

supposedly met me,

did I introduce myself as Cree?

- I mean, it was something with

a T or something like that.

Yeah, yeah. Was it Tammy?

- Yeah, that's it.

- Oh yeah.

- Your little thing

going to fall off.

You sleeping with people you

don't even know they name.

I knew it at the

time- in the moment...

I knew it at the time.

- Lavar.

- What?

Tammy's her twin sister.

- Whaaaaat?

- Oh!

Yeah, everybody wanna see?

That's a twin.

Wait, wait, wait. So...

you mean twins like,

like sister? Sister?

- You know what...

- That's cute!

- Is this why you've been

acting weirder than usual?

[Gwen laughs]

- No, I didn't wanna blow

up the spot on Christmas.

- Lavar, I'd never

sleep with you.

- Oh!

[laughter]

- Whoa, whoa, whoa!

[laughter]

Wait a minute.

Don't say it like that.

Megan, the golden retriever.

Oh! Oh!

I'm just saying, I would

never sleep with Lavar.

You know what I'm sayin'-

Your twin sister did.

Yeah, I'm the smart twin hun.

[laughter]

[family chattering]

- Come on! Let's eat...

- Yeah, settle down...

Before we eat, gimme that

hundred that you owe my sister.

- Oh, can we set

up a payment plan?

- Of course, lemme just call

my brothers really quick.

Oh no!

- You gotta learn

how to take a joke.

Oh, you are the joke.

Now give it to me.

Hey, hey! Break mines off too.

- Come on, Unc, I'll

pay you later, man.

Yeah. Okay.

Hey Cree.

Can I get your brother's number?

- I'll give ya- Get your

phone out. Get your phone out.

- Relax!

- Okay.

With the interest.

Very well, very well.

All right, now let's eat.

- Can we eat?

- Good, ain't it?

Hmmm.

- So good.

- Mhm.

- Mhm.

- Mhm.

Tired of waiting around.

- Wait, hey-

Kayla, Jerome?

Why y'all eating so damn fast?

This food ain't going nowhere.

- Ms. Darlene, you put

your foot in this, girl!

- And apparently y'all

like foot. Slow down!

Mama this is fantastic.

We should open gifts.

Yeah!

- Yeah. let's do that.

- Right now.

- Yeah, right now!

- Mhm!

Bro, we just started eating.

- Yeah, but we could

eat and open gifts.

It's a fun activity

for the whole family.

Mhm!

You know what, baby?

We forgot Gwen's

present at the house.

You know what, Imma

get some tin foil...

Just wrap this up, I'm

gonna take the plate, mama-

So that way when we come back-

I'm not gonna get no foil.

We just gonna take

this like this.

- Darlene girl, you can cook.

- Come on, baby!

I need to learn this

recipe, Darlene.

- All right!

- Imma- Imma-

- We gonna be back.

- Oh my God.

Darlene this amazing.

- Y'all better bring

my damn plates back.

Dad, just take the greens.

- I didn't ask you for the

greens. I asked Demond.

- Dad, this is ridiculous.

- Put 'em back.

- Dad, just take-

- I said put 'em back.

All right. Fine, fine, fine.

Oh, okay.

Uh...Won't everybody tell me

what your fondest

Christmas memory is?

Do you know a better

way to break the ice?

- My fondest Christmas

memory is that time that

with Myron, he

burnt that turkey.

Then he tried to play it

off like it was intentional.

- Then he got mad because

we wouldn't eat it.

- It wasn't burnt.

It was blackened.

Oh hell, it was ashy as hell.

[laughter]

- My fondest memory is

Demond being normal.

- My fondest memory is

you not being judgmental.

- That's how you

talk to your grandpa?

You refuse to call me LeeLee.

That's not your name.

It's what I like to be called

and no one seems to have a

problem with that but you.

- What man you

know, named LeeLee?

Me.

- I said, man, not

whatever you are now.

- Dad, we are not gonna

do this on Christmas.

- No matter what I do,

you'll never be proud of me.

Demond, I am proud.

I'm proud of what you

do, but not who you are.

Oh God...

LeeLee.

Lee...

- I'll take those

greens now, Regina.

Get it yourself.

Oh, sorry guys.

We checked stores

for like 20 miles.

Couldn't find anything open.

Like literally nothing.

Okay. Weird energy here.

Where's LeeLee?

Ask your grandpa.

Grandpa, what did you say?

I can't remember.

I'm proud of what you do,

but not who you are.

Grandpa?

God...

- I mean, who would say that

to their own grandchildren?

What about what he said to me?

Dad!

- You can't start a

fire then complain

about being burned.

Now I have sat here quiet

because you are my father

and I respect you,

but I expect you to

show the same respect

for me and my children.

Now I'm just doing

what you should have

done a long time ago.

- Know what I should have

done a long time ago?

Dad, I want you to leave.

[Regina crying]

[yelling] I want

you to leave, Dad!

Enough is enough!

- No one's gonna say anything.

- I agree with Regina.

I second that.

- Regina, weren't you the one

that begged me to come here?

It was a mistake Dad...

...please go.

[Regina sobs]

[sombre music]

[whispering]

[cutlery clinks]

Is the roast beef still warm?

- Okay...

[clears throat]

- Dad, why is it so hard

for you to accept who he is?

- Because I want my

best friend back.

Dad...

- I want the young man

that followed me around

and told me all of his secrets.

Even the things he was

too scared to tell you.

The young man that

sang in my choir

with his whole heart.

There was a time

when all he wanted

to do was make

his grandpa proud.

Now, why couldn't

it stay like that?

That boy destroyed me, Regina.

He destroyed me.

My grandson is supposed

to get married to a woman.

He's supposed to

wear a suit and tie.

That's just how it goes.

What happened to him?

Dad.

He stepped into his truth.

Maybe I'm showing my age,

but when I was coming up,

little boys grew up to be men.

Real men.

LeeLee is a real man.

Do I have to remind you

what the Bible says

about cross dressing?

- There's no one louder

than a person that is wrong.

Who doesn't want to admit it?

- I didn't write the book,

but I know not to question it.

- You question what the Bible

said about alcoholism, huh?

I am not that person anymore,

and I haven't been since

I became a grandfather.

I know I didn't always do

right by you and your mother,

and I'll have to live with that.

But my path was crooked.

My path was messy,

but I needed to be weak so

that I could find my way

to God and restore my

worth, my integrity.

So don't you look down on me.

- Dad, I didn't mean

to disparage you.

You straightened up

and I forgive you.

You have been so wonderful

to me and the kids,

especially after Warren passed.

You are more than a grandpa.

You are like a

second father to them

and to a woman who,

you know, had to work

and put food on the table.

You're my rock, dad.

You're my rock, and-

And I don't know where

I would be without you.

I would never judge... you

for what you did in the past.

Not my place.

That's why it's not your

place to judge LeeLee.

You might not agree with

how he lives his life,

but you're his

grandfather, a man of God.

And you should cheer

him on like you used to.

He's happier than

he's ever been.

And if you can't get

on board with that,

the least you can do is be quiet

if you have nothing nice to say.

- Are you telling your

father to shut up?

- I'm telling my

father to do better.

- Do better Dad or you're

gonna lose this family.

[sombre music]

- LeeLee, you can't

spend the rest

of Christmas in your room.

Why not?

I'm comfortable.

- I am so, so sorry that

I wasn't there for you.

I get it.

You a married woman

now, Jerome comes first.

I is.

And yes, Jerome is my husband.

He's my family.

But you my family too.

You still my little snot

nose superstar brother.

I know.

It just means things

are gonna change now.

- Yeah, it will a

little bit, but just

because I don't have

as much time with you

doesn't mean I

love you any less.

[knocking]

Mom.

Come on mama.

- I'm sorry I did that

at the dinner table.

But I can't

apologise to grandpa.

You don't have to.

Listen, I just wanted

everyone to come together

for Christmas, but I

was so wrong to ask you

to be something that you

are not for grandpa's sake.

I love you.

You're my baby boy,

and you are perfect as you are

with or without your

grandpa's approval.

You better say it, mama.

I know, right?

- I love you.

- Oh, group hug.

- I told you I don't wanna

use no more chicken bones.

LeeLee, someone wants to

see you in the living room.

Grandpa, why do you hate me?

- I don't hate you.

- Right.

You just hate who I am.

I didn't mean that.

Look... I'm just not used to

seeing you look like this.

This is me.

I don't know how else to

make you understand that.

- When you were little,

you always had such a,

a big voice.

We called you baby Luther.

I knew I'd see

you on TV one day,

but I just thought you'd look--

Normal?

Grandpa, this is my normal.

- Look, before you and

your sister was born,

I was not a good man.

I'd pick a bottle up before

I'd pick my own daughter up.

But with you and

your sister Kayla,

I had a second chance

to become the father

I never knew I could be.

You were always my little buddy.

You wanted to do

everything I did.

You'd see me shaving,

you'd want to shave.

You'd see me drinking coffee,

you'd want to drink coffee.

And when it was time

for me to go home,

you'd cry and cry.

I miss my Demond.

I want him back.

- The person you miss so much

wasn't ready to be honest.

He thought he had to look

and behave a certain way

or he wouldn't be accepted.

He was afraid of

letting people down.

So he decided to

hide his true self.

But he will never do that again.

So if you're waiting

for the real Demond

to show up, he's right here.

He just discovered who he

should have been all along.

Grandpa, despite everything,

I love you and I

really hope you'll stay

and spend Christmas

with the family.

But only if you're ready

to accept me for me.

[sombre music]

I am truly sorry.

[bright music]

I love you.

I love you too, grandpa.

So sorry.

[doorbell]

- LeeLee.

- Hi, Bryson.

Hey. Hey.

Yo, you got snubbed

at them Grammys, man.

For real, for real.

Uh, thanks?

Say, is Jerome or Kayla here?

They sure are.

Jerome. Kayla.

Ooh, I am stuffed.

- Oh.. ah- hi!

Hi Bryson, what

are you doing here?

- What a coinky-dink.

I was just about to

ask you the same thing.

- Well, Merry Christmas.

- Merry Christmas.

- Why we standing in- Come

on. You wanna come in?

It's hot. Don't you feel it?

The oven's been on all day.

- I feel like the turkey.

- Yeah, babe!

Let- Let's go ahead

get some fresh air.

- Oh my- Ooh!

- Going somewhere?

- Huh!

Oh, Merry Christmas fam.

- Hey! How are ya'll?

[chatter]

- Oh, I didn't know

you guys were comin'...

Hi!

Oh, hi.

- We, we, we were just- uh-

- They were just

about to explain what they were doing here.

- Well, well we

was at y'all house-

and now we're at

this house here.

- Would you believe

we were sleep walking?

- Okay, so let me tell you-

- You know when we

got in the car, right?

We took off, and after eating,

I started getting the itis

and we were driving

and it's like I almost fell

asleep when we sleep driving

which is really dangerous.

Then we woke up in

Miss Darlene's kitchen

and it's like, why are we going?

We missed that, and

then coming back-

- Knock off all

the jibber jabber.

He's right.

How'd you guys even

find us anyway?

Find my iPhone.

I knew something was up,

but no one wanted to listen.

I get high, but I don't lie.

- Well apparently, these

two have no problem lying.

Wow. Okay.

Reference.

First of all, listen, we wanted

to spend Christmas together,

but then we also wanted

to spend it with you guys.

Is that so hard?

- You know... dishonesty

is not the way to go...

I am truly- truly

disappointed in you guys.

- Please shut up, Rodrigo.

- Rodri-?

I identify as Rodrigo.

- Couldn't have just

spent Christmas Eve

with one family and Christmas

day with another family?

I mean, that seems fair

to me, if you ask me.

[everyone talking

over eachother]

Go on and mind your business.

- Wait, wait, wait,

wait, wait, wait.

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

Yes, that's exactly it.

That's the reason why we turned

into human ping pong ba*ls

over here is because both

of you guys wanted

us for Christmas.

And here we are going

through great lengths

just to make y'all happy.

- Oh, oh, it's more

than great lengths.

You know how tired I am?

I'm stuffed.

But it is tradition.

There is no holiday

when one of us is away.

Now how many times I

gotta tell you all that?

- Okay. So what is the tradition

when you're newly married?

Huh?

Anybody know?

Mom.

I have a husband

and a second family that

I don't wanna neglect.

Okay?

So with that being said, I

wanna create new memories

with my new relationship.

- Look, I mean, you talk

about traditions, right?

- Yeah.

- ... and customs.

Well, the only custom that Kayla

and I don't have is

we have no custom.

We're split between

two families.

Maybe just maybe, one holiday,

we can spend it with my family.

And then the other

holiday we can spend it

with yours if that's okay.

Or another holiday.

We gonna spend it by ourselves

on an island somewhere...

- Sipping mimosa...

- Yeah, that'd be kinda nice-

[family disagreeing]

- See- see- see!

Uhuh! No, no, no!

- I tested each and

every one of y'all.

You see that?

You guys are all

afraid of change.

Exactly.

- Change leads to

a missed Christmas

and then that leads to

another missed Christmas.

And before you know

it, you're missing.

It's just not even the

same without the family.

Yeah, honey.

And I don't see you

enough as it is.

- Maybe change isn't the

threat you think it is.

The Christmas spirit

is fed by love.

And love can only

survive when it's guided

by understanding

and a willingness to evolve.

- Oh mom, things

will be different.

But I want you to know that

it doesn't mean I love you,

you, you or you any less.

I know.

And family?

You know, I love all of

you guys, y'all know that.

But just because we're

trying something new

doesn't mean you become

any less important to us.

- So... can I

present the idea...

that we're gonna

sh**t for change?

- Something new.

- Change.

- [Kayla] It's okay.

Don't be afraid.

We coulda did this hours ago.

- I know, y'all don't

understand my feet hurt.

- I didn't want

to disappoint you.

Can I get a hug from my momma?

Show us some love, son.

[bright music]

[family chattering]

Merry Christmas

So many Christmases

Wait, wait, wait.

One of y'all's next.

Settle down.

Don't get comfortable.

Don't get comfortable.

Is it you? Is it you?

Is it you, is it

you or is it you?

I think I'm gonna

come back to you,

but I think I wanna stop it.

She's...

Okay.

What is an acceptable,

actually, not at all-

What is an an

unacceptable seasoning

for a Christmas turkey

or a Christmas ham?

No seasoning at all.

Y'all. She rock.

- Oooh!

[all cheering]

It should be seasoned already.

That's right. That's right.

You good. Come on.

Gimme that. Gimme that. Okay.

But one of y'all

is next, so relax.

I think I'm gonna

stick with you.

Hey Cree.

Okay, so tell me this.

Someone tells you that

Santa can't be Black.

What's your response?

- You mean after I

give him one of these?

[laughter]

- Okay, but what else

you going to tell them?

- Well, I'd remind them

that Santa isn't real.

So he could be whatever damn

colour I want him to be.

- Ooh, period!

[family cheering]

- I like her! I like her!

[family chattering]

Merry Christmases

So many Christmases

[family cheering]

So many Christmases

Hey, congratulations!

- Thank you.

- Very beautiful.

- You made it work.

- We did it.

[bright music]

- God is good.

- [in unison] All the time!

Y'all still sound sleepy.

[laughter]

- I said God is good.

- [in unison] All the time!

Amen.

I'll be honest with y'all.

My Christmas was off

to a bumpy start.

But me and my family, we

smoothed it right on out.

Colossians 3:13 say,

bear with each other

and forgive one another.

If any of you has a

grievance against someone,

forgive as the Lord forgave you.

- [in unison] Mmm. Yes.

- The path to healing

can only begin when

you own your mistakes.

Nothing grieves

or nothing humbles an angry soul

more than the thought of losing

your family over something

that's never as serious

as you want it to be.

Don't fall victim to

your own pigheadedness.

- [in unison] Amen.

- Amen.

Choir.

I want to call on my

daughter Regina...

and my... grandson...

Leelee.

to bless us this morning.

[congregation applauding]

Come on up here.

[congregation applauding]

[cheering]

Come on Regina!

[music starts]

For my friends and family

Gather round

singing cheerfully

Everywhere I go I sing

It's Christmas

It's Christmas

The lights

shining all around

And the snow is coming down

Everybody is talking about

It's Christmas

It's Christmas

Let's not forget the meaning

Of the king, we all see him

He is

He is

The reason

The reason

We celebrate

We celebrate

Oh yes he is

The season

Jesus was born to save

We believe

Oh yes he is

[church applauding]

[bright music]

That was so good.

Oh my gosh, that was so awesome.

Oh babe. You know what?

We should have Christmas

at our place next year.

With both of our families?

Oh yeah. It'll be epic.

It'll be like Full House,

but with Black people.

- You great.

- No babe for real though.

We have to start

doing more things

with just me and you together.

Okay?

So get used to it.

You sure about that?

No, but we gonna try.

All right. Yeah, yeah.

We were telling everybody else

that gotta do things different.

So it's time for change.

- And what about

keeping your apartment?

- Oh, oh, oh, I'm

keeping my apartment.

'Cause you know what

if you start acting up

- and one day--

- Excuse me?

Okay, fine. Nevermind.

Maybe I'll just keep my

place for when we have kids

and when they're

getting on our nerves.

Kids?

Kids.

[bright music]

- We can get started on

that right after church.

- Huh?

- Shut your mouth.

[Jerome and Kayla laughing]

Life is racing

So fast paced and the

seconds never return

No

What I've learned is

This world keeps turning

What's coming nobody knows

Oh no

I spent enough time

wishing time would wait

I've gotta make it

count this holiday

When I spend it with you

Every minute is

gonna be special

Special

And whatever we do

If you're in it

Is gonna be special

Special

When I'm with you

You

You

These moments with you

You you you

Won't let the

rush of the season

Get in our way

Won't let it get

it in our way

Won't forget all

of the reasons

To cherish today

Got to cherish today

Spent enough time

wishing time would wait

I'm gonna make it

count this holiday

When I spend it with you

Every minute is

gonna be special

Special

And whatever we do

If you're in it

It's gonna be special

Real special

When I'm with you

You you

This Christmas with you

You you you

So keep the lights

and the mistletoe

Take all the carols

I don't care about

the falling snow

No good tidings

If I'm not riding

with you all the way

All the way

I would give up

the golden rings

Those four calling birds

They'd have no

reason to sing

I need you in my arms

Share this moment with me

Forever with me

When I'm with you

Every minute is

gonna be special

Yes, it will be special

And whatever we do

If you're in it

Is gonna be special

Gonna be special

When I'm with you you you

Each moment with

you you you you
