Tree is looking pretty dope, huh?
Mm, it's missing one thing, a little Lay Lay bling.
- Oh. - Bars!
All right.
Ha! Now this tree is poppin'.
You got good taste, tree. Boop.
Attention, everyone.
Make way for Marky's Magnificent Gingerbread House.
Whew. I'm glad this is over.
We've picked out eight different lollipop sconces.
Ten. I ate two of them.
It had to be perfect.
This is an exact replica of my future home
in Oak Bluffs on Martha's Vineyard.
Dang. This is where you're gonna live?
I want a house you can eat.
Hey!
It's time to hang our stockings.
-Yay. -Yay.
-All right, you go first. -All right.
Y'all ain't got nothing on my stockings!
Okay. All right. Let's see how it looks.
Now, that's what you call a Christmas stocking, baby!
Is that a stocking or a sleeping bag?
Hey, the bigger the stocking, the more room for presents.
All right. Lay Lay, around here,
the Christmas spirit is more about giving than getting.
Is he for real?
'Cause that sound like crazy talk.
There is nothing crazy about giving back, Lay Lay.
That's why we're gonna volunteer at the gift drive later.
Last year, I gave this little girl my roller skates
from when I was a kid.
Making that girl's Christmas wish come true felt amazing.
She broke her arm skating, but that's not on me.
Oh. I want to make someone's Christmas wish come true
without a trip to the hospital.
You're dangerous.
All right, everyone, it's time for Mama to make this tree shine.
Yay! My mom always puts the star on top of the tree.
Because it's not safe for you kids on top of this la--
Hang on, honey!
This is the best Christmas tradition yet!
I'm riding the tree next.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. This is not a tradition.
It's a potential concussion.
Eh, your dad looks like he has this under control.
-Seriously? -Yeah.
We have very different definitions of "under control."
- Whoa! - I got you!
Nice catch, baby.
I was always feel a little bad biting off the poor gingerbread man's head.
Oh, not gonna lie. I'm into it.
Ho, ho, ho, Alexanders.
I just finished wrapping your Christmas present.
Guess what it is.
A hat rack, Jeremy.
Man, I should have used different colored paper.
Did you wrap this?
The precision. The detail.
I never thought I'd say this to you, but you got talent.
I've got wicked origami skills.
Somehow it translates to gift wrapping.
That's not all it translates to.
Uh-oh, there's that "time to get paid" face.
That's right, Mom.
The ca-ching-le bells are chiming.
-I don't hear them. -You will.
There's going to be a big crowd at that gift drive.
You and I are going to wrap some gifts and make some money!
Come on, Jeremy.
It's time to put your strange talent to work,
'cause we're about to get a visit from the Ghost of Christmas Cash.
Deck the halls With boughs of holly
Merry Christmas Eve, Cleveland.
Now, come on over and tell Santa and Mrs. Claus
what you want for Christmas.
But remember, clean up after yourselves.
Santa's not the only one making a list and checking it twice.
Your parents are gonna make so many Christmas wishes come true.
I'm gonna have to step up my game.
'Tis the season, my fellow elf.
Come on! Let's help!
Why are you talking like that?
This is my elf voice! You try.
Nah, I don't speak elf. That's all you, boo.
Okey dokey. Have it your way.
Merry Christmas, and enjoy your guitar, young lady.
Aw, she looks so happy.
Well, her Christmas wish came true.
Okay, who's next?
Ho, ho, ho. Hello, young lady!
What's your name, and what would you like for Christmas?
I'm Brandy, and I want a guitar too!
Oh, I'm sorry. We just gave away our last guitar.
Is there anything else you want?
Nope, just a guitar.
Oh. Well, I am so sorry,
but I bet you'll like this instead.
-Okay. Thanks, Santa. -Okay.
That's not fair. She didn't get her Christmas wish.
Yeah. Well, hey, maybe someone else will make it come true.
Right this way, little boy.
This is Santa and Mrs. Claus!
Well, thank you, Santa's helper.
Dial back the elf voice. You're freaking out the kids.
Hmm, there's a guitar here
and a kid who wants a guitar there.
Seems like the perfect Christmas spirit moment to me.
Hey, Brandy, us elves did a rush job to get you this.
Merry Christmas!
Thank you so much.
My mom is taking me to BoomBox Burger for lunch.
I'm bringing this! You're the best!
Wow, when it comes to being good, I am good.
Where could you be? Where could it be?
I just had it in my hands.
Dad, what are you doing?
I'm freaking out.
I can't find my guitar, Old Saint Riff.
You gave your guitar a name?
Well, it's his favorite.
Yeah, my father gave it to me for Christmas when I was a kid,
and I was just playing it at the gift drive,
so where could it have gone?
That guitar is special to you?
Well, he plays it on Christmas Day, and we all sing carols.
And now I don't know where it is.
Have you found Old Saint Riff?
Does it look like I found Old Saint Riff?
You want to try that again?
I'm sorry, honey. No.
I did not find my beloved guitar.
That's better.
Well, can't you play a different guitar to sing carols?
I can't play a different guitar.
It's disrespectful to Old Saint Riff!
The thought makes me sad, and…
I don't want to be sad on Christmas, so…
no carols.
So what are we gonna do, just not sing Christmas carols?
That's exactly what we're gonna do.
No songs… or joy.
Okay. Calm down.
We just need to find it by tomorrow morning.
-Let's keep looking. -Okay.
Right after I write a letter to Santa asking him to bring my guitar back.
I'll send him an email.
Sadie,
you know how at the gift drive, Brandy wanted a guitar
but we didn't have one to give her?
Oh, no, you've got that, "I'm an avatar from the phone
who's new to this world," tone in your voice.
So I gave Mr. A's guitar to Brandy.
I just wanted to make her Christmas wish come true.
Oh, man, now we've got to get it back to make my dad's Christmas wish come true.
Just because I can't see you doesn't mean you're off the hook.
I just don't like that disappointed look you're giving me.
You may be invisible, but I'm still looking at you.
I'm Sadie's affirmation app
Okay, we've got to get that guitar back from Brandy.
She still thinks we're elves, so let's use that, right?
Are you gonna do that dumb voice? Are you gonna do that dumb voice?
Yes, indeedy.
Oh, love the outfits, ladies,
but I only give discounts to Santa.
Elves pay full price.
Oh, there she is.
Look at her happy little face.
Time to get our Grinch on and ruin her Christmas.
Okay.
Merry Christmas, little girl!
What up, Brandy?
Wow, you're the pretty elf who gave me this guitar.
Aw. You think I'm pretty.
I mean… …we need to talk.
Santa's upset because we accidentally gave you
his special guitar.
And he sent us to come get it from you.
Sounds like a you problem, not a me problem.
Well, the man in the red suit said if we don't come back
with that guitar, we're gonna lose our jobs.
Oh, no.
Two incompetent elves will lose their jobs?
Whatever will I do?
Say what, now?
This is mine,
and I'm never giving it back, so scram!
Oh, Principal Willingham.
Brandy, how exciting.
You have visitors from the North Pole.
Are you bothering my daughter?
Brandy is your daughter?
Mom, these wannabe elves are trying to take my guitar,
and this one's not even doing an elf voice.
See, there's been a mix-up, and Santa needs his--
You should be ashamed of yourselves,
trying to take a present from my sweet little girl.
Come on, Brandy, let's get out of here
before they try to take my fancy Christmas socks too.
Well, that didn't go as planned.
That's because you didn't do the voice.
Come one, come all.
Come witness the greatest gift wrapper this side of Cleveland.
Look at this line, Marky. You were right!
These people are hungry for my amazing talents.
And I'm hungry for money,
so quit yapping and start wrapping.
Huh, pointy,
oddly shaped.
No problem.
A-kapow!
Pay my associate. Next!
A Christmas cactus?
This is a gift wrapper's nightmare.
I love it!
A-kapow! Merry Christmas.
Pay the little dude in the sweater vest.
Thank you.
Jeremy, you're incredible.
You're like the Jay-Z of wrapping.
Jay-Z is the Jay-Z of rapping.
I meant gift wrapping, Woody.
Oh, he's probably better at that than Jeremy too.
You know Beyoncé ain't accepting no badly wrapped gifts.
Is the beanbag for Beyoncé?
She's my Secret Santa!
What?
No, just wrap the beanbag, man.
We didn't save Christmas,
and my dad's not gonna get his Christmas wish.
I know. My pa-rum has left my pum-pum.
Well, I looked in the attic for Old Saint Riff.
All I found was more disappointment.
You know, I--I think someone accidentally wrapped it,
so I'm gonna unwrap all these presents.
Dad, stop. A guitar can't fit in that box.
And my broken heart can't fit inside my body, Sadie,
but here we are!
I found it!
Who saved Christmas? It was Trish
Who saved Christmas? Bryce got his wish
This isn't Old Saint Riff.
This is just one of my regular guitars.
So you're telling me you have two acoustic red guitars?
You have two pair of red-bottom shoes!
Okay, Bryce, I done told you about that tone.
Okay.
Oh, we haven't checked under the house, huh?
Daddy's coming for you, Old Saint Riff!
Whoo, this man.
We have to do something.
Brandy's not gonna give us that guitar back.
We're out of options.
Not necessarily.
We could sneak into her house
and replace the guitar with this one.
Are you seriously suggesting that we break into our principal's house
and take her daughter's Christmas present
just to make my dad's Christmas wish come true?
That's a great idea.
Okay, come on. We've got a chimney to drop down.
Hey, hey, hey, uh-uh, we are not dropping down a chimney.
That is so dangerous.
-Santa does it! -Santa is magical.
Uh, excuse me?
So am I.
Here you go.
You brought me a regular box to wrap?
Do you know who I am? Honestly, this is an insult to my talents.
I think what my associate is trying to say is,
thank you for your business and please come again next year.
Now pay me.
I can't work like this, Marky.
I'm uninspired. I'm taking a break.
A break? Do you see this line?
You can't take a break.
You can't rush art, Marky.
Did the Pope tell Michelangelo "faster" when he was painting the Sistine Chapel?
Why are we talking about ninja turtles? I want my money!
Well, you can't do it without me and these moneymakers,
and we're taking a break.
You think you're the only one that can wrap a gift?
I don't need you. I can wrap anything.
Uh-oh.
I'm okay.
Lay Lay, where'd you go?
Ow. I landed on my jingle bell.
I told you the chimney was a bad idea.
Bad? Yes.
Worth it? Also yes.
You ready to find that guitar and swap it out with this one?
-Girl, you know-ho-ho it. -Okay.
-Was it in the garage? -No.
The only thing I found in the garage was your snorkeling gear.
Who snorkels in Cleveland?
Trish, we got to look everywhere for Old Saint Riff.
We have looked everywhere.
Not everywhere.
I need to search your closet.
Well, go ahead and search my closet.
No.
Your secret wig closet.
Don't you dare go in my closet.
You want to try that again?
Don't you dare go in my closet!
I'm going.
You are a bad Santa! Bad Santa!
Sorry for the wait. Woody, here you go.
What in the Kris Kringle?
This is not the same wrap job I had earlier.
The service around here has fallen way off.
Yeah!
Say you need me. Say you need me.
Say you need me. Say you need me!
-I don't need you! -I want my money back!
I need you!
Okay, okay. Whoa!
Okay, everyone, calm down.
The wrap artist is back, and I can wrap anything.
Anything?
Anything. Try me.
Jeremy, you got 99 problems, but gift wrapping ain't one.
Did you find it?
All I found are things that confirm
everything I ever believed about Willingham.
I mean, look at this. These aren't decorations.
This is a cry for help.
Brandy, is that you?
It's Willingham. What do we do?
Did I just go invisible too?
Is it because I'm holding your hand?
I can't talk when I'm holding my breath.
Now, shh. She's coming.
Sweet James Brown, it works!
Is somebody there?
Huh, must've been another one of my night terrors.
Whew, that was close.
But I have an invisibility power!
- I can turn invisible -Girl, that's my invisibility.
You just borrowing it.
You're right.
Let's swap these guitars and get out of here.
-Yeah. -Okay.
I know someone's down there.
Oh, quick. Do the thing.
I took a martial arts class from the Parks Department,
so watch out!
You do not want to get hit with these!
They really hurt.
Let's get out of here.
I don't know how fast I can crawl up the chimney, but hey.
No, no, no, no, no.
We are not going up the chimney.
Why you always hating on my fun?
Try something new for a change. Dang!
We broke into our principal's house. This is new.
So let's get out of here before she sees us.
I see you!
What in the name of Good King Wenceslas?
Merry Christmas!
Surprise!
Girl, you still doing that?
Mom, these are the fake elves from BoomBox Burger.
No, these are two students from my school
who have a lot of explaining to do.
Oh, this isn't what it looks like.
Hmm, it looks like two girls broke into my house
in the middle of the night dressed as elves.
Okay, yeah. It's exactly what it looks like, yeah.
Okay, this is all a big mix-up.
At the gift drive, I just wanted to make
Brandy's Christmas wish come true,
so I gave her Sadie's dad's guitar.
But she didn't know it was his favorite.
So we came here to swap it out for this guitar that looks just like it.
You should have offered me that at BoomBox.
-I'll take it! -Oh, okay.
Oh, you sound like such an angel, honey.
Best Christmas ever!
Thank you, fake elves.
Girls, I have one thing to say to you.
Let me guess.
We both have detention until we graduate?
No.
I'll pay you both 20 bucks
if you come back tomorrow night and take that guitar too.
-Yeah. -Oh, we got you, Z Willie.
Time to open another gift.
This one has your name on it, Mr. A.
Thank you.
Old Saint Riff. Hey, how did you--
Oh, it's a Christmas miracle. Yeah.
Your Christmas wish came true.
Yeah, I'll say.
Hey, what are we waiting for, huh?
It's time for Christmas carols!
My favorite Alexander Christmas tradition of them all.
Deck the halls With boughs of holly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Merry Christmas from the Alexanders.
