[GRUNTING]
Thanksgiving is over, Francine.
We can't live in the past.
The Christmas season has now begun.
The Smiths have only ever had
very bad, very weird Christmases.
So this year,
it's imperative that we finally have
the perfect Norman
Rockwell holiday season.
Oh, no, no. Th-This isn't right at all.
Hayley, why aren't your cheeks rosier?
Hey, cut it out!
And, Steve, this sweater is
supposed to warm my icy heart?
It's one of those ironic
ugly Christmas sweaters, see?
It's kitschy. It's fun.
Well, excuse me, John Waters,
but there's no room for irony
in our perfect Christmas.
Geez, okay,
I'll dig into my Jaclyn Smiths.
Why aren't all your shoes on?
We need to be heading out for
the Christmas tree lighting
at the Langley in like two minutes!
What's the Langley?
Oh, my God, tell me you're kidding!
I'm crawling into the goddamn fire.
The Langley is the upscale
outdoor mall they built
where the stupid old,
[NASALLY] eh, public library used to be.
The Langley? Super swank.
Victoria Beckham bought a condo there,
but has never visited.
Klaus, why aren't you warming
up the car like I told you?
I'm texting with my brother
from another mother Jurgen
right now, and he's freaking out.
Some blackmailers hacked his webcam,
and he didn't pay up,
so they sent a video of him
cranking it to his entire contact list.
Now everyone's calling him
Jerkin' Jurgen.
This is not appropriate
Norman Rockwell-like Christmas talk.
I saw that video,
and I think it's actually
gonna be good for him.
Dude's got a monster hog.
Yeah, but he's got
those tiny little balls.
Hey, I got time
to blast a shit real quick?
Norman Rockwell!

Now, tell me, does this place
do Christmas right or what?
And look, they even have
an actual polar bear
at Santa's workshop.
[BEAR GROWLING, BABY SCREAMING]
But lest we forget,
who's that special man
the good Lord sent to Earth?
Who's the reason we have all this
Christmas splendor to enjoy?
TOGETHER:
Visionary mall developer Vic Mancuso.
That's right.
And there he is now!
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
An angel of a man in front
of a behemoth of a tree.
[WHISTLES] Norway spruce, 163 feet tall,
secured in place by over
6,000 total feet of 200K-PSI
reinforced steel tension wire.
How do you know all that?
Just eyeballin' it.
Well, since we seem to
have found our spot here,
I just have a quick errand
I need to take care of.
Yeah, you do.
Getting hot chocolates
for the whole family.
What?! No, I really...
"No" nothing.
Four piping-hot cocoas
to hold like this...
Mmmmm.
[SLURPS, SMACKS LIPS]
Ahh! Tastes like Christmas.
Well, I was actually hoping to...
Get some caramel corn?
Great! 'Cause that's what you're doing.
And, Francine,
you're going to Santa's workshop
to ask the Santa there
if he'd like to join us
to watch the tree lighting.
Long shot, maybe, but what if...
if he says yes?
- Listen, Stan...
- No, you listen!
Today is the kickoff to the
entire Christmas season,
and we only have one chance
to make it absolutely perfect.
So could you slap-dicks
just do one thing each
to help me make that happen?
Now go!
You are tough but fair, Stan.
Shut up, you idiot.
You made me forget my phone
in the car, you idiot.
Again, so fair.
Save our spot.
- You can count on me, Stan. Aah!

What if I told you the

can offer you hope in
your battle with rosacea?
I don't have rosacea.
And now I'm gonna touch the
small of your back like this.
Does it make you feel
like you can trust me?
So, this is what you had to do
instead of spending Tree-
Lighting Day with your family?
Oh, hey, Stan!
Look, I'm sorry,
but I got to move a lot of cream
to make my year-end quota.
But don't worry, I'll get there.
It's as simple as A-B-C...
T-T-C-A-T-E-T-H-R.
"Always Be Constantly
Touching the Customer,
And Tell Everyone They Have Rosacea."
Matter of fact,
have you ever thought about trying
to address your skin condition?
What skin condition?
May I place my hand like this
underneath your armpit?
Our cream is fast-working
and totally natural.
You could eat it if you wanted to.
I'm munching on the
stuff all day myself.
So, how many jars

I can never have the only

my family.
All I have left of them
is what the rescue workers
managed to find among the wreckage.
Steve's glasses.
Hayley's headband.
Francine's famous no-show socks.
It was supposed to be a perfect day,
but it ended up going so wrong
that it now ranks among some of
the very worst days of my life.
I'm so sorry, Mr. S.
Spare me!
You have no idea what it
feels like to lose a wife.
[SHAKILY] I... I lost Hayley.

What the hell is happening?
In a word... rosacea.
It is a red tide on your face,

One minute ago,
I was on the couch, and then...
Now, your girlfriend
must complain to you
about your rough, bumpy skin, yes?
When she's close like this?
"You can make right

I'm being given a chance

You're being given a chance

Hot chocolate, popcorn,

Jojoba!

words like that anymore.
Steve! Steve!
Where is he? I need to get moving.
Time is running out.
Barista, urgent question...
What is a hug mug?
It's a cozy,

Oh, sorry.
You might want to talk

You caught me. Fun's over.
Psh-yeah, right.

The fun of me yelling at you!
Why is no one doing the Christmas chores
we all agreed to?
We didn't agree to anything!
You've just been bossing us
around all day like a big jerk,
so we decided to do some
stuff we wanted to do instead.
And what you wanted to
do was turn yourself
into some kind of Sideshow Susan,
Lady of Many Holes?
Oh, relax, Stan.
I enjoy getting pierced, okay?
I do it all the time and then
just let the holes close up.
Except for the ones that don't.
In the right breeze,
my nipples can whistle "Camptown Races."
And as everybody knows,
my interest in basketball
has just gone into hyperdrive lately.
I'm very disappointed
in the both of you.
I'm gonna go shoot the shit
