-Chapter Twenty-Seven-

[MERCEDES]

Haul out the holly

Put up the tree before

My spirit falls again

Fill up the stocking

I may be rushing things but

Deck the halls again now

[MERCEDES with TROUBLE TONES]

For we need a little Christmas

Right this very minute

Candles in the window

Carols at the spinet

Yes, we need a little Christmas

Right this very minute

It hasn't snowed a single flurry

But Santa, dear we're in a hurry, so

[TINA with TROUBLE TONES]

Climb down the chimney

Put up the brightest string of

Lights I've ever seen

Slice up the fruitcake

It's time we hung some tinsel

On that evergreen bough

For I've grown a little leaner

Grown a little colder

Grown a little sadder

Grown a little older

And I need a little angel

Sitting on my shoulder

I need a little Christmas now

[MERCEDES (& TINA)]

(Haul out the holly)

Well, once I taught you

All to live each living day

(Fill up the stockin)

[MIKE]

But Auntie Mame, it's one week

Past Thanksgiving Day now

[TINA with TROUBLE TONES]

But we need a little Christmas

Right this very minute

Candles in the window

Carols at the spinet

And, we need a little Christmas

Right this very minute

It hasn't snowed a single flurry

But Santa, dear, we're in a hurry, so

[MIKE]

Climb down the chimney

Its been a long time since

I've done the neighbourly

[TINA with MERCEDES]

Slice up the fruitcake

It's time we hung some tinsel

On that may-berry bough

[MERCEDES & TINA with TROUBLE TONES]

For we need a little Christmas

Right this very minute

Candles in the window

Carols at the spinet

And, we need a little Christmas

Right this very minute

We need a little Christmas now

We need a little Christmas now

We need a little Christmas now!

"The club room is looking like the wonder land she drew up!" I smile as everyone keep putting together moms dream Club room "This is going to be amazing!"

[TINA with TROUBLE TONES GIRLS]

We're on the island of misfit toys

Here we don't wanna stay

[FRAN with TROUBLE TONES]

We want to travel with Santa Claus

[FRAN with TROUBLE TONES]

In his magic sleigh

[SANTANA]

A pack full of toys means a sack full of joys

For millions of girls and for millions of boys

[MIKE with TROUBLE TONES]

When Christmas Day is here

The most wonderful day of the year

[QUINN]

A jack-in-the-box waits for children to shout

[FRAN]

Wake up!

Don't you know that it's time to come out!

[TROUBLE TONES]

When Christmas Day is here

The most wonderful day of the year

[ANGEL with TROUBLE TONES]

Toys galore scattered on the floor

There's no room for more

And it's all because of Santa Claus

[FRAN]

A scooter for Jimmy

[ANGEL]

A dolly for Sue

[RACHEL]

The kind that will even say

[BRITTANY]

"How do you do?"

[TINA with TROUBLE TONES]

When Christmas Day is here

The most wonderful day of the year

[BRITTANY]

How'd you like to be a spotted elephant?

[SANTANA]

Or a choo-choo with square wheels on your caboose!

[FRAN]

Or a water pistol that shoots... jelly?

[TROUBLE TONES]

We're all Misfits!

[ANGEL & TINA with TROUBLE TONES]

If we're on the island of unwanted toys

We'll miss all the fun with the girls and the boys

When Christmas Day is here

The most wonderful, wonderful

Wonderful, wonderful

Wonderful day of the year!

"This looks amazing!" The bell rings and we all run to our hiding spots "WAIT TILL SHE NOTICES!"

"Mari I am just saying I think it would be cool for them to do" I look through my cupboard spot to see mom waking with Maribel "I think...what happened to the room? Were we reverse robbed?"

"SURPRISE!"

"AHH!" Mom jumps and grabs at her heart as everyone comes out "Dear lord! I thought the robbers finally realized what they had done! Did you all do this?"

"It is your dream set up" I look at everything and then mom again "Do you like it?"

"I love it!" Mom smiles and I feel relief flood my body "Thank you all for this"

"Well since everyone seems to be showing surprises" Maribel spins mom around to face her "How about I give you a song surprise?"

-Maribel singing-

I don't want a lot for Christmas

There is just one thing I need

I don't care about the presents

Underneath the Christmas tree

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

All I want for Christmas is you, yeah

I don't want a lot for Christmas

There is just one thing I need

And I don't care about the presents

Underneath the Christmas tree

I don't need to hang my stocking

There upon the fireplace

Santa Claus won't make me happy

With a toy on Christmas Day

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

All I want for Christmas is you

You, baby

Oh, I won't ask for much this Christmas

I won't even wish for snow

And I'm just gonna keep on waiting

Underneath the mistletoe

I won't make a list and send it

To the North Pole for Saint Nick

I won't even stay awake to

Hear those magic reindeer click

'Cause I just want you here tonight

Holding on to me so tight

What more can I do?

Baby, all I want for Christmas is you

You, baby

Oh, all the lights are shining so brightly everywhere

And the sound of children's laughter fills the air

And everyone is singing

I hear those sleigh bells ringing

Santa, won't you bring me the one I really need?

Won't you please bring my baby to me?

Oh, I don't want a lot for Christmas

This is all I'm asking for

I just wanna see my baby

Standing right outside my door

Oh, I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

Baby, all I want for Christmas is you

You, baby

All I want for Christmas is you, baby

"Now kiss me!" Mom kisses Maribel passionately and we all make vomit sounds "Oh get over it! We know some of you so much worse!"

"Exactly!" Mom smirks as she looks at Maribel "I want to get my sweet lady kisses on with you"

"No!" I run straight for the door "NEVER AGAIN! GET ME OUT OF HERE NOW!"

I hear laughter as I run out of the room. Life has definitely taken a upward rise. I am really scared of the downfall to it. But if it does then I have no idea what I will do.

I guess I just need to take the good while I have it.
