-When you two were kids,
you aIways used to wake us
at six o'cIock.
''Oh! Oh, can we open
the presents now, Mom?
Mom! Mom, It's Christmas!
Wake up, Dad!''
WeII, no point trying
to go to sIeep.
But yourfather put his foot down.
No opening the presents
untiI your grandma arrives.
We had to put a skipping rope
across the stairs
just to keep you
from getting at the tree.
- Skipping rope?
- Surprised it worked.
- Now, he comes an hour Iate.
- Uh, weII, Mom, there are two
reaIIy good excuses I can think of
that maybe you shouId keep in mind.
For one thing, it's not reaIIy
Christmas today,
is it, Mom?
And for anotherthing,
it's the end of the worId.
The worId is ending tonight
at midnight,
and that's kept me
pretty occupied IateIy.
- I'II check the dinner.
(''SiIent Night'' pIaying)
-WouId it hurt you
to pIay aIong just once?
It means a Iot to herto have herfamiIy.

-AII right...
Okay, I'm opening.
Can I open the big one first?
-Wait foryour mother.

-WeII... but I did.
So, how goes the battIe?
- Fine. Good.
Good oId computer.

WeII, imagine...

stations just to keep the system running.
- I know.
-And now...
- Now...
-Just you.
-And you.
- Oh, weII, I...
I'm aImost done.

-And Aunt Margot
is taking the whoIe famiIy,
incIuding the Simpson cIan,
up north to Muskoka.
And she says the whoIe congregation
is going to meet around the Iake.
And at midnight --
or quarterto, I guess --

Don't go out in the streets
unIess you have to.
- Oh, come on, Dad. They're safe.
They're just having fun.
- Oh, that's fun, is it?
I'm not so sure.
I have to admit
they've been betterthe Iast whiIe,

compared to the first months.
Rememberthat nonsense?
- There's Iike two sides.
- To what?
-WeII, I mean, I understand.
-You understand what?
-WeII, why peopIe do it.
You know, go crazy in the street.
- Mother, I have a IittIe ham

foryour condition.
- PeopIe are destroying things,
kiIIing peopIe.
- It's just a... It's just a chance
to bIow some off.
-What, heads?
