some great ticket to the Nutcracker on

Saturday maybe you could take some time

out of your busy life for the woman who

raised you you like I got Sun row seats

for the Nutcracker right now I'm sorry

my I can't make it oh well at least

we'll see each other for Christmas Eve

dinner absolutely oh it's gonna be so

much fun to have everybody over to my

new place mom we had at your house last

year it might be a lot of work for you

Oh nonsense there's nothing more that i

would love than to give you a nice

Christmas like the kind we used to have

remember we'd all gather around the

piano while I play care

rolls ah mr. piano but you don't have

the piano anymore and you know apartment

so small and it's been a big adjustment

for me but maybe something like this is

what I need to make it feel more like a

home for even a few precious hours so

what time do you want us there oh well

we'll eat it 60 no later than noon wait

wait okay what's it six and why do we

have to be there at noon Christmas Eve

dinner oh this is just what I need life

hasn't been easy for me since your

father left me for that Merry

Christmas oh you gotta love her I can't

remember why I think it's one of the

commandments bill didn't you tell her we

were having Christmas here this year Oh

Judy we could stand here all day and

play the blame game but I wouldn't fare

well in that discussion so let's just

drop it now who wants to watch me drink

six feet on it why not drop in it when

do I get to have the Christmas Eve

dinner that I've always dreamed of with

turkey or beef or whatever the hell it

is I've decided I've always dreamed on

I'll tell her it's not gonna be easy hey

I know what I'll do I'll buy her off

I'll get her a great present that will

soften the blow oh if you think that'll

work you know she's never left what was

giving her in the pan that's not true

and I got the perfect thing yes she was

going on and on about how much he loved

her old piano oh I she did singing

around there piano honey we all hated

you singing around I'm getting her a

portable keyboard she'll love it well I

hope so you know the kids are getting

older and there's only so many holidays

left that we can legally make them spend

with him worry I'll get you your mellow

Christmas with your turkey or your

beaver your christmas night dirty

lingerie show I'm just spitballing here

but that's where traditions come from

[Music]

I'm surprised you came over without me

even calling you three or four times

look I put up the Christmas tree doesn't

it look beautiful yeah nothing says

Christmas like a tree that could give

you tetanus the reason I dropped by I

bought you a present it's an electric

keyboard as you were talking about those

great Christmases we had singing around

the piano and electric keyboard I don't

have to join the Internet to use this do

I no no no and the great thing about

this is it's portable so you can bring

it with you when you come to our house

for Christmas Eve dinner we're eating at

six they'll be there no earlier than 530

I thought you were coming to my place

it's just that Judy's been looking

forward to having our own Christmas and

you don't have the big house like it did

in Joliet it might be kind of hard to

fit all of us in this tiny apartment so

well doesn't seem so tiny when you're

rattling around and is all alone nice MA

it would mean a lot to us well maybe I

could get myself all bundled up maybe

there won't be ice maybe I won't fall

and break my hip on the way over I'll

risk it if that's what will make you

happy that's the spirit

I found the needy person i'm going to

help for christmas she works in my

office and i'm going to take her

shopping to fix her up but i just

brought her by so you can get a load of

her I mean meter thank you cutie this is

Stacy very nice to meet you Stacy hi if

you find a heel on your lawn when the

snow melts could you call me come by and

get it Linda thinks she can give me a

makeover I told her she's wasting her

time ha hey uh uh knew that is just

ridiculous somewhere inside of you is a

beautiful confident woman and we're

going to find her okay drink your

bathroom if I sneeze I'm on a tinkle and

I'm gonna sneak okay yes remember Stacy

you're a beautiful person and everyone

knows it no I can fix her and feel good

about myself Linda when you said you

were going to help the less fortunate I

thought it was going to be someone truly

needy Judy hello have you seen her hair

Oh Miller family Christmas is back on

wow so she liked to keyboard of course

she did she's my mom I know what she

likes so now we can have a nice quiet

same Christmas after all I loved in the

bathroom was that that would be my

pathetic person myself in the bathroom

that I just told her what

okay where should we put it piano honey

the trees heavy don't tease daddy I'm

not wowie you gave us a pan Wow you gave

her a key that you missed having a piano

and when you brought me that cute little

one I took they in oh don't you love it

Billy it's exactly like our old one kids

why don't you go upstairs and check for

other instruments please where's our

couch oh the piano man moved it mom none

of us plays piano that is the rest of

the present I'm coming over every

Saturday to give you all lessons on the

kitchen and mark our calendars do we

have to tell her we can't keep that

thing come on I already had to take

Christmas away from her and trust me she

didn't make that easy are you actually

suggesting we keep it our couch is in

our kitchen well it's closer to the

fridge you know your mother given us

lessons every saturday looks like i say

pianos got to go mom this is this is

very generous but we can't keep it what

but i thought you said you loved it when

i played the piano and we sang Christmas

carols but it's so big you won't let me

have you over for dinner and you won't

let me give you a gift so i guess i'll

have to wait for next year to be happy

she's taking back the piano that's great

and on an unrelated note we're having

Christmas Eve dinner at my mom's house
