I originally wrote this in 2022.
(The group looks at what happened to the tree as it plunged into the river.)
Lucy: "Wow!"
Ethel: "I hope you are satisfied Fred with your weak tying job."
Ricky: "If you weren't my friend, I would punch you right in the nose."
Fred: "It wasn't my fault that you dames got such a weak rope."
Ethel: "Lucy bought it."
Lucy: "Yeah, I bought it from a guy on the streets of New York who sold it to me for a $1."
Ricky: "Ay-yi-yi-yi. Lucy, what did I tell you about those type of people?"
Lucy: "He looked as honest as the day is long."
Ethel: "Yes and we know how long the days are during winter."
Fred: "Does anyone feel like swimming with the fishes?"
Ricky (yells): "WHAT? WE ARE NOT SUBJECTING ANYONE OF US TO GETTING COLD."
Fred: "All right. Time to dig another tree and hopefully we can get the tree home by Xmas morning."
(They do. They arrive just in time for the clock to strike midnight. They arrive in the Ricardo household...only to find a tree was there. They see Little Ricky along with Lucy's mother. They have a shocked look on their faces. They see the Kramdens and Nortons.)
Ralph: "Merry XMas all. We all got in my bus and AWAY WE WENT!
Lucy's Mother: "Merry Xmas everyone."
Little Ricky: "Merry Xmas everyone."
Ricky: "Where did you get that tree?"
Little Ricky: "It must have been Santa Claus. It wasn't here when I went to bed. Look at all the presents."
Ed: "I certainly did not get it in the sewer."
(Everyone rolls their eyes.)
Trixie: "This is a great day."
Alice: "It certainly is."
Alice: "This is a Christmas miracle."
Lucy: "What a Xmas miracle."
Ricky: "Yes."
Little Ricky: "Mommy, why did you all get another tree that is full of seaweed? Did it fall into the river?"
Ricky: "Son, you know of the lyrics to the Andy Williams Christmas song where he says: 'There will be tales of the glories of Christmas long, long ago?' This is one of them."
(They all stare into the camera.)
All: "Merry Christmas everybody."
(The end.)
