FAMILY:

Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
We got into a drifted bank
And then we got upsot

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh yeah

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

They soon got to the church and started praying to God for Christmas. When mass was over they started to get home and have some dinner and then it was will be a big day tommorrow for Alvin and Brittany and the kids. And also they told Dave and Miss Miller about Keith's first word and they also wrote it in the baby book.

When they got home, they wacthed The Chipmunks Christmas Speciel on NBC, the tree was lighten up and there were no presents yet. As Alvin is going to give them to the kids the next day as Santa Claus. They tucked the kids into bed and kissed them goodnight.

THE NEXT DAY

It was Christmas morning and they were looking forward to see the kids faces. Alvin got the Super 8 film camera out and got his Santa suit on. Brittany picked up the kids and took them down stairs and place them near the door. Just then a ring was on the door and Brittany opened it. "Kids, I want you to meet... Santa Claus!" she said. The kids were cheering that Santa Claus was right here in thier own home. "Ho, Ho, Ho!" said Alvin. "Merry Christmas!" he said to his kids. And he gave presents out to the kids. Brittany helped them opened the presents and they were so happy of what they got.

"Oh and I see there is a present for you Brittany!" he said. "Oh, its from Alvin" said Brittany and then she opened it and saw that it was that Make-Up kit she always wanted ever since when it was out. Brittany hugged Santa Claus and then he said "Oh here is something for Alvin. I'll leave it here just for him" he said. "Well I must get back to the North Pole I need a full year vacation for this job." He said and then said goodbye to the kids and to Brittany. Alvin then packed the Santa suit in the garage and came back in his pyjamas and saw the kids. "Hey kids, Hey Brittany Merry Christmas!" he said and gave all of them a kiss. "Hey Santa left me something from your Mom!" he said. He then opened it and saw that it was his best friends album 'Stop And Smell The Roses' and now he can listen to it all the time.
