Santa's Light Show (Normal)

(AFTER SANTA’S VO)

Fred: Thank you Santa for that wonderful introduction. That’s right we’re the Tinker siblings and it was our job this year to make some big upgrades to Santa’s Light Show. And let me tell you…we’ve been tinker-ing around all year long.

Ted: Oh definitely. I’m Ted, and as the resident tinker thinker here, I came up with all the new ideas. You could say a light bulb went off in my head. Get it? Light bulb. Lights…Light show…

Fred: Ok, calm down there Seinfeld…I’m Fred, and as the head carpenter, I was in charge of building all the structures that you see here on stage.

Ted: That’s our brother Ed, head electrician…

Fred: and he made sure to complain the whole time.

Ed: And big headaches from little brothers…

Fred: Enough you two. Now that we’re all here…I think it’s time we flick the switch and get this Holly Jolly Light Show underway…

Ted: Oh yeah!!!

Fred: Everyone countdown with us from five and we’ll get the show going. Ready…5…4…3…2…1…

Ted: No no no…it wasn’t the ideas. It was…uh…you Fred. You didn’t build all this to my specifications. There are unnecessary changes all through the blueprints.

Fred: Well, I have to take creative liberties. I mean your ideas are sometimes a bit too…what’s the word…sparkly…

Ted: WHAT?!

Fred: Well, Ed, maybe if you weren’t such a peppermint pooper and complaining all the time the wires would be connected properly.

Ed: SEVEN!

Fred: Woah woah woah. Hold up jingle horses. We’re embarrassing ourselves in front of our new friends

Ed: In a group text?

Fred: Don’t bring that up. This was OUR effort. So, that means it’s OUR failure. Which also means, WE must solve the problem.

Ted: You’re right let’s run a quick diagnostic test and make sure all the pieces we’re each responsible for are in working order. Hmmm…As I look around, I can see that all the lights are hung with care according to my design.

Fred: All these structures are built sturdy and sound and in accordance with the Elf Safety Union…SHOWSHA.

Ed: Wait a second. Everything is plugged in correctly, but my “Sparkle Meter” that gets the lights fired up isn’t getting a good read on the power in here.

Fred: Weird. You’re sure that “Sparkle Meter” is working correctly?

Ted: Ha. Ha.

Fred: Hmmm…no sparkle…hmmm…OF COURSE! We forgot the most important thing. Christmas magic!

Ted: Yeah. Everyone ready?!?

All: I BELIEVE! I BELIEVE! I BELIEVE!
