Again, positive reviews please
The next morning, everyone woke up, got dressed and went downstairs to have breakfast.
"I'm so taking the couch the next night," Kenickie sighed sitting down. "Rizzo snores like a jack hammer!"
Rizzo then complained, "Hang on a minute! I do not snore like a jack hammer! I happen to sleep peacefully like a lady."
He scoffed, "Yeah right."
"Alright! You gotta finish your food fast," Danny shouts, "We gotta get a tree!"
They cheer and Doody asked Frenchy, "Do you want to come with us to get one? You don't have to…"
"Doody, it's alright," Frenchy said happily. "I already got things set up for Hanukkah. And you guys may need help! Even though I don't celebrate Christmas, I would love to join the festivities because what matters is that we're all together!"
He smiled, kissed her cheek and got up to get his jacket.
Kenickie got his jacket on and asked Rizzo who's sitting at the couch lighting a cigarette, "Wanna come with us?"
Rizzo then answered with a question, "You want me to come with you?"
"C'mon Rizzo, we're gonna get a beautiful tree!"
"Bah Humbug," she exhales and sat back on the couch.
He rolled his eyes and then left with the rest of the gang.
Kenickie took his greased lightning and drove the gang to a nearby Christmas tree farm.
"Alright, we gotta pick a really good tree for the house," Marty says, "Not too tall, not too short. Not too big, not to small. Not the one with pine needles that will shed. Not the ones that have branches sticking up, or down. And not the ones that look like they'll die very quickly!"
Putzie then rolled his eyes asking Danny, "Does she have to be charge of getting the tree?"
He nodded. "It's her relative's house Putzie."
Jan, Frenchy and Sandy went to find an interesting tree.
"How about this one?" Sandy pointed it out and Marty shook her head saying, "It's too small."
Doody and Sonny found a tree and Marty shook her head, "That's too much!"
Putzie and Danny went to find the tiniest tree with only one branch sticking up, pine needles shedding. Marty then said, "I asked you guys to find a tree! Not that!"
"I thought it can use a little love," Putzie said smiling as he took a cute tree.
Jan gasped, "That's a cute tree Putzie!"
Marty slapped her palm on her forehead. "Get with the program here people!"
Kenickie went to look at the tree that's the right size and looks pretty.
"How about this one Marty?" He says looking at it.
Marty looked at it, gasped and shouted, "THIS IS IT! THAT'S THE TREE!"
Everyone gathered around to look at it and Danny said, "Alright. All in favor of getting this tree. Say I!"
They all agreed at the same time and then Danny and Kenickie took the tree, paid the man who runs the place and put it in Greased Lightning.
"How are we all gonna fit in the car?" Sandy asked.
They all looked at each figuring out the problem…
Just then the whole way home, Marty sat on Sonny's lap, Frenchy sits on Doody's lap, Jan sat on Putzie's lap, and Sandy sits on Danny's as Kenickie drives. But the three couples in the back were cramped in one seat because the tree took the other seat.
Soon as they get home, Danny and Kenickie then carried the tree and brought it into the house.
Rizzo still sat on the couch smoking another cigarette lounging around ignoring the commotion.
"Alright. Men work on the outside! Girls on the inside. And since this is Marty's relative's place, she will help us by adjusting a few things," Danny said.
Everyone followed what he said and got busy.
Jan went onto decorating the tree starting with the lights. Frenchy and Sandy went to decorate the rest of the room. Marty made sure that everything is perfect until she sees Rizzo still on the couch.
Marty shook her head and then said to Rizzo, "You know! It would nice if you can help a little!"
She looks at her friend with a blank expression and then ignored her.
Sighing, Marty went outside to see the guys almost finished with the outside. Danny was on the roof with the lights.
"Looking good boys!" She says happily.
Danny then shouted from the roof. "Alright, I'm done! Putzie where's the ladder?"
Putzie then asked, "What ladder?"
"The ladder that can bring me down."
"Oh that ladder! I took it and put it back in the garage!"
Danny then shouted angrily, "Are you stupid!? How am I supposed to get down?"
Marty was about to walk inside but said, "I'm gonna make a hot chocolate if you guys want any!"
"YEAH! HOT CHOCOLATE!" The rest of the guys then ran inside after finishing the work leaving Danny stuck on the roof.
Danny then shouted, "GUYS! HELP! GET ME DOWN FROM HERE!" But nobody heard him.
They looked around the inside and saw all decorations were up and the tree is finished.
"This house is beautiful!" Sandy sighs in amazement. "Just like a beautiful traditional Christmas home! Like I always dream of!"
They all chuckle and then went to get cups of hot chocolate to celebrate… Again, except Rizzo.
Just then they notice some soot coming down from the chimney.
Marty asked pointing to the fireplace, "What is that?"
Putzie then shouted, "Is that who I think it is?!"
"Santa Claus?" Jan asked excited.
Just then two feet were sticking out and then a familiar voice shouted, "Get me out of here! Help me!"
Sandy immediately went to the fireplace and asked, "Danny? What are doing in there?"
"Just cleaning the black stuff out of the chimney- I was trying to come down from the roof and it's the only way! Now please get me out!"
Marty then opened the fireplace and Kenickie and Doody went and grabbed both of his feet to pull him out.
As soon as he got pulled out he was covered in black soot from head to toe. He was coughing and Sandy immediately frets over him.
"Are you alright?" Sandy asked.
Danny coughed saying, "I would've been if Putzie hadn't gotten rid of the ladder, and everyone ignored me! And I don't know if it's some altitude, or it's getting cold from up there!"
Everyone gave him apologetic looks… Except Rizzo… Who still doesn't give a crap.
Jan giggles, "You surprised me there! I thought you were Santa!"
Rizzo then scoffed saying to Jan, "What is with you and the Santa crap?"
She looked at her friend in confusion.
"Open your eyes Jan and grow up! There is no Santa Claus! There is no reindeer! And there is no sleigh!"
Kenickie stood up and shouts angry, "Betty Rizzo, you take that back!"
"There no such thing as Santa. And I won't take it back! This is all made up! Parents put the presents under the tree and ate the cookies! Santa Claus is just a fairytale! Open your eyes and grow up!"
Jan suddenly got tears coming to her eyes in shock to what Rizzo said and then ran off upstairs with Putzie following her as well.
Danny looked at Rizzo and said angrily, "I can't believe you said that. That was low Rizz. You should be ashamed of yourself."
Everyone else agreed and Rizzo yelled, "I don't give a crap! You are all wasting your time with this whole thing!"
Then Danny left along with everyone else a little disgusted. But Rizzo didn't care what they said like always.
