Well finally here's chapter 3! I do not own the songs "There is no Arizona", "Shiver" , "Grandma got run over by a reindeer",or "Christmas cookies". I also do not own the phrases "It's better to burp and taste it, than fart and waste it" or "what goes in, must come out". ENJOY:P

Chapter 3- Christmas!

The boys sat in their room, getting ready for bed on Christmas Eve.

"Alvin," Simon said.

"Yes?" Alvin responded as he slipped on his night shirt.

"What you did downstairs was completely repulsive! I mean, seriously, ew," Simon said disgusted. Alvin just glared at him, but then started to laugh.

"Oh, Simon," he said through laughter, "You know that was funny."

"Oh yes, Alvin, I think it's soo funny that you cut the cheese right in front of the camera, because you know I wanna look back on this Christmas Eve and remember that you farted," Simon said sarcastically.

"Simon," Alvin said, "Would you like me to give you 'Sense of humor' lessons? You know what goes in must come out."

"Poot!" Suddenly they heard a loud fart come from Theodore. Simon and Alvin looked at him in total shock. Theodore blushed a little.

"THEODORE!" They both screamed as Alvin started to laugh. Then Theodore began to laugh.

"You're right Alvin," He said, "What goes in must come out." Alvin and Theodore continued to laugh and roll around on the floor. Then Simon let out a huge burp. Alvin and Theodore paused in shock. Simon just smiled.

"Hey," he said, "It's better to burp and taste it, than fart and waste it." All 3 of the chipmunks started laughing hysterically until Dave came in to see what the noise was all about.

"Fellas? What's…OH!" he pulled the collar of his shirt over his nose and mouth, "What died in here?!"

"We're all tooting!" Theodore shouted while starting to laugh again.

"Ew!" Dave cried, "That's sick!"

"What goes in, must come out," Alvin recited once more.

"I suppose that's true," Dave said beginning to laugh.

They all four laughed for a minute.

"Alright," Dave finally said, "You goofballs need to be getting into bed now."

"Yes Dave," They all said as they climbed into their beds.

"Night," Dave said as he turned out their light.

"Night Dave," They all 3 said at once.

The Next Morning

The boys woke up really early on Christmas morning.

"Yay!" Theodore cried, "Christmas!"

They all went down stairs, Dave was in the kitchen making coffee.

"Merry Christmas, Fellas!" He said as he walked into the living room with a cup of coffee in his hand.

"Merry Christmas Dave!" They all shouted back cheerfully.

"Can we open our presents now?" Alvin asked cheerfully.

"Of course!" Dave said cheerfully as well. All four of them opened their gifts and when they were done they all hugged each other gratefully. Then Dave went into the kitchen to get the Christmas lunch ready.

A Few Hours Later

"Ding-dong!" the doorbell rang.

"Can somebody get that please?" Dave called from the kitchen as he set the table.

"I got it!" Simon called as he answered the door. "Hello, Ms. Miller, Hello girls," he greeted them politely, "Come on in."

The girls and Ms. Miller came in and hung their coats on the coat hanger, then went into the kitchen. In the living room, Alvin turned the radio on and it started to play Christmas music, then went into the kitchen and sat next to Brittney. He began eating his mashed potatoes, but then got a disgusted expression on his face.

"Ew!" he said in disgust. "Brittney," he tapped on the girl's shoulder to get her attention, "taste the mashed potatoes, do they taste right to you?"

Brittney took a bite of the mashed potatoes on her plate, then she also got a disgusted expression, and spit them back into her plate.

"Ew!" She cried, "No, they taste awful!"

"Dave," Alvin said, "I think these mashed potatoes have gone bad."

"Why do you say that Alvin?" Dave asked confused.

"They taste funny," Alvin replied with the disgusted expression coming back.

"…and they have green stuff in 'em!" Brittney added.

Dave laughed a little bit.

"Oh," he said, "No, they're fine. They're just garlic mashed potatoes."

"Oh," Alvin said, "Well I don't like them."

"Too bad," Dave said sternly, "You're eating them weather you like it or not."

"Fine," Alvin said in an irritated tone and reluctantly ate his mashed potatoes. Everyone cleared their plates and went into the living room to exchange gifts. After they exchanged gifts "Grandma got run over by a reindeer" came on the radio. Simon and Brittney immediately grabbed the two microphones next to the radio and began singing along. Alvin had made a few attempts to join them but they kept pushing him away. So he eventually gave up and sat down on the couch reluctantly and watched.

"Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house Christmas Eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me an' Grandpa, we believe.

She'd been drinking too much eggnog,
And we begged her not to go.
But she forgot her medication,
And she staggered out the door
into the snow.

When we found her Christmas morning,
At the scene of the attack
She had hoof prints on her forehead,
And incriminating Claus marks
on her back.

CHORUS

Now we're all so proud of Grandpa,
He's been taking this so well.
See him in there watching football,
Drinking beer and playing cards
with Cousin Mel.

It's not Christmas without Grandma,
All the family's dressed in black.
And we just can't help but wonder
Should we open up her gifts
or send them back?
SEND THEM BACK!!!

CHORUS

Now the goose is on the table
And the pudding made of fig (ahhhhh!)
And the blue and silver candles,
That would just have matched the hair
in Grandma's wig.

I've warned all my friends and
neighbours,
Better watch out for yourselves.
They should never give a license,
To a man who drives a sleigh
and plays with elves.

Sing it, Grandpa!

CHORUS"

The next song was some silly song about Christmas cookies. Eleanor began to sing it and then got Theodore to sing it with her. It was adorable!

"I sure do like those Christmas cookies, sugar
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe
The ones that look like Santa Claus
Christmas trees, bells, and stars
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe

Now Christmas cookies are a special treat
The more she bakes the more I eat
And sometimes I can't get myself to stop
Sometimes she'll wait till I'm asleep
She'll take the ones I didn't eat
And put those little sprinkly things on top

Chorus:
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, sugar
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe
The ones that look like Santa Claus
Christmas trees, bells, and stars
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe

Now those sprinkly things just makes things worse
Cause it makes them taste better than they did at first
And they're absolutely impossible to resist
Some disappear to who knows where
But I make sure I get my share
And those kids just stand there waiting for the ones I miss

Sure do like those Christmas cookies, sugar
Sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe

She gets mad that they're all gone
Before she gets the icing put on
Sure do like those Christmas cookies babe

Now there's a benefit to all of this
That you might have overlooked or missed
So now let me tell you the best part of it all
Every time she sticks another batch in the oven
There's 15 minutes for some kissin' and'a huggin'
That's why I eat Christmas cookies all year long!

Chorus:
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, sugar
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe
The ones that look like Santa Claus
Christmas trees, bells, and stars
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe"

Alvin and Jeanette just sat on the couch, both feeling kind of left out, but soon all 6 of the chipmunks were playing together again.

"Alright ladies," Ms. Miller said after a few hours, "We gotta get home now."

"Awwww…" the girls whined, "Okay," they all said as they got their coats on, and walked out the door.

"Bye boys!" All four girls said.

"Bye girls!" All four guys said.

"That was fun!" Theodore said cheerfully.

"I agree," Simon said smiling calmly.

"Eh," Alvin said, "It was okay, I guess."

"Did you feel left out, Alvin?" Theodore asked concerned.

"Uh, yeah, a little," he said trying to smile because of all people he didn't want to make Theodore feel bad for him.

"I'm so sorry, Alvin!" He cried as he hugged him tightly. "I didn't mean to…"

"It's okay Theodore," Alvin cut him off, "It wasn't your fault."

Simon rolled his eyes and walked into the kitchen to help Dave clean up the kitchen. Truly, he didn't care if Alvin felt left out, he kinda felt like he deserved it because he should know how it feels to not be the center of attention for once.

"Calm down, Theodore," Alvin said in an uncharacteristic, comforting tone, and put one arm around his younger brother, "I'm okay." Theodore felt a little better and looked up at Alvin and smiled.

"Okay Alvin," Theodore said, "but just one more thing."

"What's that, Theodore?" Alvin asked.

"What goes in, must come out!" He cried laughing, and then turned his butt towards Alvin and farted on him, then ran away laughing.

"Oh, Ew!" Alvin shouted. "Haha! I've taught you well little bro!" Alvin began chasing Theodore all over the house. He finally caught him in the kitchen, wrestled him to the ground, held his chubby little body down, sat on his face, and farted super loud. Dave was gonna yell at him, but realized they were just playing, and not really fighting and Simon rolled his eyes.

"Eeeeewwww!!" Theodore cried, "That was stinky!" They both laughed.

"Gross, Alvin," Dave said, "You boys are so obnoxious." Alvin and Theodore left the room laughing, paying no attention to their father. "Thanks for helping me with the dishes Simon," Dave said gratefully as he placed the last dish in the dishwasher.

"No Problem," Simon said kind of sweetly as he adjusted his glasses.

"I'm gonna order Pat's for dinner, but I'm gonna pick it up, so could you go get your brothers and tell them we're leaving, please?" Dave asked him as he picked up the phone and dialed the number for Pat's Pizzeria.

"Yes," Simon responded as he left the kitchen. "Hey," He called up the stairs, "Alvin, Theodore, we gotta go to Pat's to get some pizza for dinner, come on!"

"Okay," Alvin said as him and his younger brother trotted down the stairs, and then walked into the kitchen. Dave was hanging up the phone as he walked in.

"Okay," Dave said, "Let's go." They all went outside and hopped into the car. Dave put in his new Jamie O'Neal CD in the CD player and turned it to track 2. It was "There is no Arizona".

Alvin sang along "He promised her a new and better life, out in Arizona"

Then Theodore sang along a little louder "Underneath the blue never ending sky,"

Alvin began to sing over Theodore "swore that he was gonna
Get things in order, he'd send for her"

Theodore sang even louder "When he left her behind, it never crossed her mind"

Alvin then realized he was being challenged by his little brother and when the song got to the chorus they were both singing at the top of their lungs.

"There is no Arizona
No pained desert, no Sedona
If there was a Grand Canyon
She could fill it up with the lies he's told her
But they don't exist, those dreams he sold her
She'll wake up and find
There is no Arizona

Dave was amused by his two youngest sons and turned the radio up louder and began to laugh a bit. Simon held his ears.


She got a postcard with no return address, postmarked Tombstone
It said "I don't know where I'm goin' next but when I do
I'll let you know"
May ,June ,July ,she wonders why
She's still waiting, she'll keep waiting 'cause

There is no Arizona
No pained desert, no Sedona
If there was a Grand Canyon
She could fill it up with the lies he's told her
But they don't exist, those dreams he sold her
She'll wake up and find
There is no Arizona

Each day the sun sets into the west
Her heart sinks lower in her chest and
Friends keep asking when she's going
Finally she tells them don't you know

There is no Arizona
No pained desert, no Sedona
If there was a Grand Canyon
She could fill it up with the lies he's told her
But they don't exist, those dreams he sold her
She'll wake up and find
There is no Arizona"

On their way back from Pat's, Dave turned on track 7, it was "Shiver". Alvin and Theodore began singing at the top of their lungs again.

"Don't know how you do it
Like there's nothing to it
You just look my way
I lose my composure
Don't know what to say
I'm overwhelmed, you smile, I melt

Then somewhere inside, oh baby I…

Shiver, tremble, I never
No I never once felt so much
It shakes me how you take me
Deeper then I've ever been
It's to the core, under my skin I
Shiver

I love the way your whisper
Slowly, softly lingers
In my ear
You move a little lower
The world starts spinning slower
Then it disappears
Your lips so close, we kiss almost
Just barely touch, but that's enough
To make me

Shiver, tremble, I never
No I never once felt so much
It shakes me how you take me
Deeper then I've ever been
It's to the core, under my skin I
Shiver

It shakes me
How you take me
Deeper then I've ever been
It's to the core, under my skin I
Shiver
Shiver

Shiver, tremble, I never
No I never once felt so much
It shakes me how you take me
Deeper then I've ever been
It's to the core, under my skin I
Shiver

I shiver"

When they pulled up in the driveway Dave turned off the radio.

"Wow Fellas," Dave joked, "That was beautiful!" Alvin and Theodore began to laugh, they enjoyed that.

"That was annoying," Simon said in a sort of grumpy tone as he glared at his brothers. Alvin glared back, but Theodore just gave a sort of guilty expression. Then everyone went inside to eat their pizza.
