Christmas Day (12:00AM)

Muriel and Eustace are asleep Courage decides to come down the chimney ( like santa ) to surprise Eustace with some gifts...But he hears something else trying to creep down the chimney too, so he hides behind Eustace's chair...

Eustace awakens from the sound of something downstairs, He thinks it Santa He runs down the stairs to get his presents and he taps (what he thinks is Santa) on the back..

It turns around and captures Eustace. He brings him down to the basement and ties him up and pulls out a shot filled with poison out of his pocket and aims it at Eustace's right arm.

Eustace: (scared almost to death) What? Don't hurt me! Who are you? Please tell me! Ahhhh!

Muriel: What do you think you are doing leave my Eustace alone! Who are you? Please Don't harm him!

Courage: Ahhhh! I'll save you Eustace!

Courage (in his santa suit) grabs the evil villian, pulls the poison shot form his hand and aims it at him. The santa pleads for mercy, and reveals himself...

Icket Bagge: Stop!!!

Eustace: Father?

Muriel: Icket? I thought you were....were...

Icket Bagge: I came back to get revenge on my son! And I still will!

Muriel: Get out of my house now! Your no longer welcome here! Ever Again!

Icket Bagge: Sorry Muriel, I have no choice...Eustace killed me, so...he has to go too!

Eustace: But it was an accident! I didn't know you were allergic to peanut butter!

Icket Bagge: Good bye Eustace!

Muriel & Courage: (extreme terror) NO!

He grabs the poisoned shot from Courage and starts to move his hand toward Eustace. Courage jumps in front of Icket at the last second and sticks it into Icket.. He disapears without a sound.. Eustace thinks that Courage is the real Santa Claus and that he saved his life ....

Eustace: Thanks for savin' me' life, what is Christmas really about Santa?

Courage: Love,Eustace. Its about the people you care about.

Eustace's eyes start to water with tears and he then realizes its Courage.

Eustace: Courage,your such a wonderful dog! Give me a hug! I'm so sorry dog! I'll never harm,scare, or hurt your feelings ever again! You are really a great companion Courage. You saved me so many times and I never thanked you! I'm so sorry dog what can I do to repay you?

Muriel: Aww Eustace, Those are the sweetest things I ever heard!

Courage: I love the dog bowl!

Muriel: I knew you would Courage! Thanks for the tea pot Courage! Its beautiful!

Courage hands Eustace one present it says from Courage and Muriel with Love...He opens the envelope and it says: You'll be able to farm again,you'll be able to paint the house, you'll be able to get new furnishings and everything else since your the grand prize winner of a 1 Billion Dollar lottery ticket!.....
