for me.
Have a really Merry Christmas.
You, too.
You okay?
Yeah.
Bill, did you get your bonus yet?
Just talked to my son.
Company messenger just brought
something to my house.
Nothing like waiting
till the last minute, huh?
You get yours?
If it isn't at the house,
I'm sure it must be on its way.
If I don't get that bonus,
I'm in it up to here.
Don't sweat it. It'll come.
Merry Christmas.
Same to you.
"'Mele Kalikimaka' is the thing to say
"On a bright Hawaiian
"Christmas day.
"That's the island greeting
"That we send to you
From the land
"Where palm trees sway.
"Here we know that Christmas
"Will be green and bright
"The sun to shine by day
"And all the stars at night.
"'Mele Kalikimaka' is Hawaii's way
"To say 'Merry Christmas' to you."
Santy Claus?
Uncle Clark, are you Santy Claus?
What?
What? You scared me.
No, I'm not Santa Claus.
I wish I was.
What are you doing up, sweetheart?
Rocky bit my thumb.
Him's nervous
because Christmas is almost here.
Nervous or excited?
Shittin' bricks.
You shouldn't use that word.
Sorry. Shittin' rocks.
Him's nervous because he don't know
if he's gettin' nothin'.
I don't think he should be nervous,
and you shouldn't be, either.
'Cause if you're good, Santa knows it.
If you believe in him and in your mom...
...and you believe in...
...your dad...
...and you've been good all year round,
Santa Claus will bring you something.
Sometimes I think
all that Santa crap is just bull.
If he was so real, how come
we didn't get squat last year?
We didn't do nothin' wrong
and we still got the shaft.
Well, I happen to know for a fact
that Santa Claus is real.
And in the next couple of days...
...somehow, I'm gonna prove it to you.
Every year, he comes to our house.
I've seen him.
It's true?
Cross my heart.
It's a good idea you came to stay with us.
I love it here. You don't gotta put on
your coat to go to the bathroom.
And your house is always parked
in the same place.
I think you better go back to bed, now.
Okay. How come you ain't sleeping?
I was looking for something.
You didn't notice if a man came here
and delivered a letter today, did you?
Nope. How come?
Just wondering.
Now you get back to bed. Come here.
Are you sure you ain't Santy Claus?
I'm sure.
I can't even afford to be an elf.
I had two containers of K-rations...
two containers...
...and I had Spam until
it was coming out of my ears!
Aren't you having any breakfast?
No. Not in the mood.
What are you looking at?
The silent majesty of a winter's morn.
The clean...
...cool chill of the holiday air.
An asshole, in a bathrobe,
emptying a chemical toilet into my sewer.
The shitter was full.
Have you checked our shitters, honey?
Clark, please.
He doesn't know any better.
He ought to know it's illegal.
It's a storm sewer.
If it fills with gas, I pity the person
who lights a match within ten yards of it.
Merry Christmas.
The shitter was full.
I have this suspicion that Catherine and
Eddie don't have presents for their kids.
Rocky said Eddie told him
Santa Claus wasn't coming this year.
Ruby Sue said the same thing last night.
How can they have nothing for their kids?
He's been out of work
for almost seven years.
In seven years he couldn't find a job?
Catherine says he's been holding out
for a management position.
So, how's the live bait business?
I can't complain. How you doing?
Not that good, actually.
Your company kill off all them people
in India not long ago?
No, we missed out on that one.
You're pretty set so far as shopping goes?
Well, I can't lie to you, Clark.
The truth is, things ain't goin'
too good at all.
You know I told you I borrowed
the RV from a neighbor?
It's mine.
We live in it.
I had to sell off the house,
the barn, the ten acres...
All I kept was a 50-foot plot,
the pigs and the worm farm.
If I only had back the money
me and Catherine sent that TV preacher...
...that was screwin' the hockey
