SONG:
(Struggling to get the words out) Maybe…not. But I’m sure there is a job you
can do.
Okay. I’m in.
Great.
Hey…
But now we only have an hour and thirty-five minutes, and there is work to be
done. If we want a perfect Christmas, and we do, I need your help. (They all
mumble “okay.”) On the list – clean the house, decorate the tree, make up the
guest room, mow the grass, and make fifteen dozen cookies.
Can I make the cookies
All by yourself
Well…
No problem, Mrs. H. I’ll help her.
Okay. Snake and Drew are on cookie duty. Everybody, let’s get to work. We
leave in an hour and thirty-four minutes. (Darlene blows her whistle and
everyone exits to various places, leaving her alone.)
(Talking to herself) Okay. What do I need to do Finish the garland, fluff the
wreaths, pull out the china, address the Christmas cards. Then, take a
shower, cook dinner, get us all to rehearsal… (Sighs), all in an hour and thirtyfour
minutes. What’s a mom to do (Sighs again) No, I promised myself that
this would be the perfect Christmas. I can get it all done. (She sees the stack
of packages.) Oh no, I forgot! (Sigh) I sure hope I get to celebrate
Christmas too. I mean the real Christmas.
“Let There Be Light” (CD cue #10)
(There is an explosion at the end of the song.)

(From offstage) Mom! Snake blew up the cookies!
