A very Supernatural Christmas

Outside of a House daytime, A girl is looking outside through the glass door and a woman stands outside, being interviewed and the woman says "Um, my daughter and I were in our beds, Mike was downstairs decorating the tree and I heard a thump on the roof and then I heard Mike scream and now I'm talking to the FBI." Dean asks "And you didn't see any of it?" The Woman says "No, he was... he was just gone." Sarah asks "The doors were locked? There was no forced entry?" The Woman says "That's right." Dean asks " Does anybody else have a key?" The Woman says "My parents." Dean asks "Where do they live?" Woman says "Florida." Sam and Sarah walks out of the house and Sam says "Thanks for letting me have a look around, Mrs. Walsh. I think we, uh, got just about everything we need we're all set." Dean says "We'll be in touch." Mrs Walsh nods her head, Sarah, Sam and Dean walk down the steps and Mrs Walsh says "Agents...." Sarah, Dean and Sam turn around and she says "The police said my husband might have been kidnapped." Sarah says "Could be." Mrs Walsh asks "Then why haven't the kidnappers called? O-or – or demanded a ransom? It's three days till Christmas and what am I supposed to tell our daughter?" Sam says "We're very sorry." Sarah, Sam and Dean walk away and Mrs Walsh turns to go inside.

Dean asks "Find anything?" Sam sighs and says "Stocking, mistletoe... this." Gives Dean something out of his pocket and Dean says "A tooth? Where was this?" He examines the tooth, Sam says "In the chimney." Sarah says "Chimney? No way a man fits up a chimney. It's too narrow." Sam says "No way he fits up in one piece." Dean says "Alright, so, if dad went up the chimney—" Sam says "We need to find out what dragged him up there." Back in the motel pictures of demons are pinned up on the wall. Sam and Sarah are searching the Internet for information about demons the door opens and Dean walks inside, carrying a brown paper bag. Dean asks "So, was I right? Is it the serial-killing chimney sweep?" Sam says "Yep. It's, uh, it's actually Dick Van Dyke." Dean asks "Who?" Sarah says "Mary Poppins"?" Dean asks "Who's that?" Sam says "Oh come on— never mind." waves his hand, Dean says "Well, it turns out that Walsh is the second guy in town grabbed out of his house this month." Sarah says "Oh yeah?" Dean says "Yeah" Sam says " The other guy get dragged up the chimney, too?" Dean says " Don't know. Witnesses said they heard a thump on the roof. The three of them shrugs "So, what the hell do you think we're dealing with?" Sam says " Actually, we have an idea." Dean says "Yeah?" Sarah says "Uh, it's gonna sound crazy." Dean asks " What could you possibly say that sounds crazy to me?" Sam says "Um... evil Santa." They both smiles, Dean Pauses and then nods "Yeah, that's crazy." Sarah says "Yeah... I mean, I'm just saying that there's some version of the anti-Claus in every culture. Shows Dean some evil Santa pictures "You got Belsnickel, Krampus, Black Peter. Dean takes the pictures from Sarah Whatever you want to call it, there's all sorts of lore." Dean asks "Saying what?" Sam says " Saying ... back in the day, Santa's brother went rogue and now he shows up around Christmas time, but instead of bringing presents, he punishes the wicked." Dean asks " By hauling their ass up chimneys?" Sarah says "For starters, yeah." Dean says "So, this is your theory, huh? Santa's shady brother?" Sam says "Well, ah – I'm just saying, that's what the lore says." Dean says "Santa doesn't have a brother, There is no Santa." Sam says "Yeah, I know and you're the one who told me that in the first place, remember." Looks at Dean, who looks down, maybe feeling a little guilty. Sam turns back to his computer and sighs "Yeah, you know what, we could be wrong. we ..." sighs again, shutting his laptop " gotta be wrong." Dean says " Maybe, maybe not." Sarah says "What?" Dean says " I did a little digging. Turns out both victims visited the same place before they got snatched." Sam asks "Where?"

At Santa's village Daytime, Christmas music plays, children are playing, and people wearing Christmas costumes are walking and Dean says "It does kind of lend credence to the theory, don't it?" Sam says "Yeah, but anti-Claus? Couldn't be." Dean says " It's a Christmas miracle. Hey, speaking of, we should have one this year." Sarah asks " Have one what?" Dean says "A Christmas." Sam scoffs and says "No, thanks." Dean says "No, we'll get a tree, a little Boston market, just like when we were little." Sam says "Dean, those weren't exactly Hallmark memories for me, you know." Dean says "What are you talking about? We had some great Christmases." Sam says " Whose childhood are you talking about?" Dean says "Oh, come on, Sam." Sam says " No! Just... no." Dean and Sarah both surprised and Dean says "All right, Grinch." Sarah and Dean walks away, while Sam stands still suddenly he notices a reindeer's statue is staring at him and gets uncomfortable.

Flashback: Broken Bow, Nebraska Christmas Eve, 1991 In a Motel nighttime, Reindeers pull Santa's sleigh across the sky on the TV, which is playing "A Year Without Santa Claus". Sam 8 1/2 years old, is wrapping something with newspaper and Dean 12 nearly 13 asks "What is that? Sam says " A present for Dad." Dean asks "Yeah, right. Where'd you get the money? Steal it?" Sam says "No. Uncle Bobby gave it to me to give to him. Said it was real special." Dean asks "What is it?" Sam sarcastically says "A Pony." Dean scoffs "Very funny." Sam continues to wrap the present, Dean sits on the couch next to him and picks up a magazine and Sam asks "Dad's gonna be here, right?" Dean says " He'll be here." Sam says " It's Christmas." Dean says "He knows and he'll be here, Promise." Sam asks "Where is he anyway?" Dean says "On business." Sam asks "What kind of business?" Dean says "You know that, He sells stuff." Sam asks "What kind of stuff?" Dean says "Stuff." Sam says "Nobody ever tells me anything." Dean rolls his eyes and says " Then quit asking." Dean leaves Sam and walks to the bed, He shoves garbage and food-wrappers off of it and opens the magazine, Sam asks " Is Dad a spy?" Dean says " Mm-hmm. He's James Bond." Sam says " Why do we move around so much?" Dean says " 'Cause everywhere we go, they get sick of your face." Sam says " I'm old enough, Dean you can tell me the truth." Dean says "You don't wanna know the truth, Believe me." Sam says "Is that why we never talk about... Mom?" Dean Tosses the magazine away angrily and stands up " Shut up! Don't you ever talk about Mom. Ever!" Heads for the door and Sam asks "Wait, where are you going?" Dean simply says "Out." Dean shuts the door behind him and leaves Sam alone, The flashback finishes.

Santa's village Daytime, Sam is still lost in memories and Dean asks Sam "You'd think with the 10 bucks it costs to get into this place, Santa could scrounge up a little snow." Sam Awakening from his daydreaming says "What?" Dean says "Nothing. What are we looking for, again?" Sam says "Um... Looks around lore says that the anti-Claus will walk with a limp and smell like sweets." Dean says "Great. So we're looking for a pimp Santa. Why the sweets?" Sarah says "Think about it, Dean. If you smell like candy, the kids will come closer, you know?" Dean says "That's creepy. Sam and Sarah both chuckles "How does this thing know who's been naughty and who's been nice?" Sarah says " I don't know." A man wearing a Santa Claus costume sits outside a small barn,A woman and boy walk up to him and Santa asks the little boy "So, Ronny, come sit on Santa's knee." The boy sits "Ah, there you go. You been a good boy this year?" Boy says "Yeah." Santa says "Good. Santa's got a special gift for you." cackles creepily and Dean Looks at Santa and the boy speculatively "Maybe we do." Ronny's mother takes his arm and leads him away from the Santa and says "Come on, honey, let's go." A woman in an elf costume walks up to Sarah, Sam and Dean and asks "Welcome to Santa's court. Can I escort your child to Santa?" Sam says " Uh..." Dean says " No. No. Uh, but actually my brother here Smacks Sam on the shoulder " ... it's been a lifelong dream of his." Elfin Looks at Sam like he's a freak and says " Uh, sorry. No kids over... 12." Sam says "No, he's just kidding. We only came here to watch." Elfin looks at Dean and Sarah, who shakes their heads and Elfin backs off and says "Eww." Sam says " I-I didn't mean that we came here to w— Y—" Both Dean and Sarah looks at Sam "Thanks a lot, Dean. Thanks for that." Both Sarah and Dean laughs and then Dean suddenly turns serious and says "Check it out." Sarah, Sam and Dean watch the Santa leave the chair, Santa walks with bad limp and Dean asks "Are you seeing this?" Sam says " A lot of people walk with limps, right?" Dean says "Tell me you didn't smell that,That was candy,man." Sam says "That was Ripple. I think, had to be." He looks at Santa again and Dean says "Maybe. We're willing to take that chance?"

Inside the Impala, Sam, Sarah and Dean are spying on a simple house that is decorated with Christmas lights and Dean asks "What time is it?" Sarah says "Same as the last time you asked. Here..." Hands Dean a thermos " Caffeinate."Dean takes the thermos from Sam and tries to pours coffee into the cup, but the thermos is empty." Dean says "Wonderful." Suddenly he scoffs "Hey Sam, Sarah." Sam says "Yeah." Dean asks "Why are you the boy that hates Christmas?" Sam says "Dean..." Sam says " I mean, I admit it. You know, we had a few bumpy holidays when we were kids." Sam says "Bumpy?" Dean says " That was then. We'll do it right this year." Sam says " Look, Dean. If you want to have Christmas, knock yourself out. Just don't involve me or Sarah." Dean looks at Sarah and Sam in disbelief "Oh, yeah, that'd be great. Me and myself making cranberry molds." They return to watching the house, Santa , still in his red cap, but in a green tank top, looks outside, then closes his curtains." Dean asks "What's up with Saint Nicotine?" Woman's voice says "Oh, my God!" Sarah, Sam and Dean jump out of the car and run to the house with their guns drawn, Dean looks inside the window of the front door and Sarah says "Huh." Dean asks "What?" Sam says "Nothing. It's just that, uh... well, you know, Mr. Gung Ho Christmas might have to blow away Santa."

Inside the house Dean opens the door, Santa is sitting on the couch, holding a giant bong and a bottle of whiskey, Santa stands up and Dean, Sam and Sarah quickly hide their guns and Santa asks "What the hell are you doing here?" Dean looks around and realizes Santa's only watching TV, Man on TV says "I'm really not interested, okay?" Woman on TV says "Mistle my toe. Roast my chestnut. Egg my nog." Dean looks at Sam and Sarah, who shrugs Sarah says "Ah, w—" WOMAN ON TV says "Jingle my bells?" Dean Starts to sing – badly "S-silent night... Holy..." He looks at Sam and Sarah , who follows him, shrugging, and smiling Dean, Sarah and Sam sings "Round and round..." They try to sing although they don't remember the lyrics. Sam says "The table..." Sam Puts a hand on Dean's shoulder shoulder to pull him away and Sarah follows swiftly.

The following morning at the large house, Dean says "So, that's how your son described the attack? "Santa took daddy up the chimney"?" Woman who has a bruise on her eye says "That's what he says, yes." Sarah asks "And Where was you?" The Woman says "I was asleep and all of a sudden sniffs "... I was being dragged out of bed, screaming." Sam asks " Did you see the attacker?" Woman shakes her head "It was dark, and he hit me. He knocked me out." Dean nods and says " I'm sorry. I know this is hard." Sam asks " Yeah... um, Mrs. Caldwell, where, where did you get that wreath above the fireplace?" Sarah and Dean looks around at the wreath, and blinks, a little puzzled and the woman says " Excuse me?" Dean and Sarah looks at Sam, waiting for an answer. Sam shrugging, smiling, feeling embarrassed says "Just curious, you know." Dean asks "Wreaths, huh? Sure you didn't want to ask her about her shoes? I saw some nice handbags in the foyer." Sam says "We've seen that wreath before, Dean Sarah." Sarah asks "Where?" Sam says "The Walshes'. Yesterday." Sarah says " I know, I was just testing you." Sam scoffs, They drive away in the Impala.

In the motel daytime, Sam is on the phone and says "Yeah, all right. Well, keep looking, would you? Thanks, Bobby. He hangs up "Well... we're not dealing with the anti-Claus." Dean asks "What did Bobby say?" Sam says "Uh, that we're morons. He also said that it was probably meadowsweet in those wreaths." Sarah looks at her laptop and Dean says "Wow! Amazing. What the hell is meadowsweet?" Sarah says " It's pretty rare and it's probably the most powerful plant in pagan lore." Dean asks "Pagan lore?" Sarah says "Yeah. See, they used meadowsweet for human sacrifice. It was kind of like a... Chum for their gods. Gods were drawn to it and they'd stop by and snack on whatever was the nearest human." Dean asks "Why would somebody be using that for Christmas wreaths?" Sam says " It's not as crazy as it sounds, Dean. I mean, pretty much every Christmas tradition is pagan." Dean says "Christmas is Jesus's birthday." Sam says "No, Jesus's birthday was probably in the fall. It was actually the winter solstice festival that was co-opted by the Church and renamed "Christmas". But I mean, the Yule log, the tree, even Santa's red suit – that's all remnants of pagan worship." Dean says "How do you know that? What are you gonna tell me next? Easter bunny's Jewish? Sam and Sarah says nothing, So you think we're gonna dealing with a pagan God?"Sarah says " Yeah, probably Hold Nickar, God of the winter solstice." Dean asks "And all these Martha Stewart wannabes, buying these fancy wreaths..." Sarah says "Yeah, it's pretty much like putting a neon sign on your front door saying "Come kill us"." Dean says "Great." Sarah reading an article on the laptop says "Huh... When you sacrifice to Hold Nickar, guess what he gives you in return." Dean says "Lap dances, hopefully." Sarah gives him a look and she says "Mild weather." Dean Looks out the window "Like no snow in the middle of December in the middle of Michigan." Sam says "For instance." Dean asks "Do we know how to kill it yet?" Sam says "No, Bobby's working on that right now. We got to figure out where they're selling those wreaths." Dean asks "You think they're selling them on purpose? Feeding the victims to this thing?" Sam exhales and says " Let's find out."

In a christmas shop the following Day Sarah, Sam and Dean enter, Shopkeeper and says "Can I help you boys and girl?" Dean says " Uh, hope so. Uh, we were playing Jenga over at the Walshes' the other night, and, uh... well, he hasn't shut up since about this Christmas wreath, and to sam " I don't know, you tell him." Sam giving Dean a look and says "Sure." turns back to the shopkeeper and says " It was yummy." Shopkeeper says "I sell a lot of wreaths, guys." Sam says "Right, right, but – but you see, this one would have been really special. It had, uh, it had, uh, green leaves, um, white buds on it. It might have been made of, uh... meadowsweet?" Shopkeeper says "Well, aren't you a fussy one?" Sam looks taken aback, embarrassed and Dean smiles "He is.... He laughs and Sam looks at him, annoyed and the shopkeeper says "Anyway, I know the one you're talking about. I'm all out." Sarah says "Huh. Seems like this meadowsweet stuff's pretty rare and expensive. Why make wreaths out of it?" Shopkeeper says "Beats me. I didn't make them." Dean asks "Who did?" Shopkeeper says "Madge Carrigan, a local lady. She said the wreaths were so special, she gave them to me for free." Sam asks "She didn't charge you?" Shopkeeper says " Nope." Dean asks "Did you sell them for free?" Shopkeeper says " Hell no. It's Christmas people pay a buttload for this crap." Dean says "That's the spirit."

In the motel nighttime, Dean opens the door and turns on the light Sam and Sarah follows him in, Dean asks "How much do you think a meadowsweet wreath would cost?" Sarah says "A couple hundred dollars, at least." Dean says "This lady's giving them away for free? What do you think about that?" Sam says "Well, sounds pretty suspicious." Dean, Sam and Sarah take off their jackets and sit on the edge of their beds and Dean says "Remember that wreath Dad brought home that one year?" Sam says "You mean the one he stole from, like, a liquor store?" Dean says "Yeah, it was a bunch of empty beer cans. That thing was great. I bet if I looked around hard enough, I could probably find one just like it." Sam says " All right. Dude... What's going on with you?" Dean says " What?" Sam says " I mean, since when are you Bing Crosby all of a sudden? Why do you want Christmas so bad?" Dean asks "Why are you so against it? I mean, were your childhood memories that traumatic?" Sam says "No, that has nothing to do with it." Dean asks "Then what?" Sam says " I-I mean, I-I just... I don't get it. You haven't talked about Christmas in years." Dean says "Well, yeah. This is my last year" Sam and Sarah pauses and both sighs Sarah says "We know, That's why we can't." Sarah says "We mean we can't just sit around, drinking eggnog, pretending everything's okay, When we know next Christmas you'll be dead." Dean nods "I just can't." Dean nods, realizing the sadness in Sarah's voice All three of them are silent.

Flashback, 1991 Motel nighttime, Sam is on the couch reading a comic book, Dean walks inside the room, holding a bag of groceries and Sam says " Thought you went out." Dean says "Yeah, to get you dinner." Tosses Sam packaged food "Don't forget your vegetables" Tosses him another bag of snack food, Funyuns Dean off his jacket, sits down on his bed and opens a drink can and Sam sits on the other bed and Sam says " I know why you keep a gun under your pillow." Dean Lifts his pillow and sees his gun "No, you don't, Stay out of my stuff." Sam says "And I know why we lay salt down everywhere we go." Dean says "No, you don't. Shut up." Sam turns around and grabs something under his bed, It's John's diary, Sam tosses it onto the nightstand between the beds Dean stands up and asks " Where'd you get that? That's Dad's! He's gonna kick your ass for reading that." Sam asks " Are monsters real?" Dean says " What? You're crazy." Sam says "Tell me." Dean Looks away, hesitates and says " I swear, if you ever tell Dad I told you any of this, I will end you." Sam says "Promise." Dean Sits and looks at John's diary and says " Well, the first thing you have to know is we have the coolest dad in the world. He's a superhero." Sam says " He is?" Dean says "Yeah, Monsters are real and Dad fights them and he's fighting them right now." Sam says "But Dad said the monsters under my bed weren't real." Dean says "That's 'cause he had already checked under there. But yeah, they're real. Almost everything's real." Sam asks "Is Santa real?" Dean smiles, shakes his head "No." Sam pauses, looks sad and says " If monsters are real, then they could get us. They could get me." Dean says " Dad's not gonna let them get you." Sam asks "They aren't gonna get Dad, Dad's, like, the best." Sam says "I read in Dad's book that they got Mom." Dean exhales " It's complicated, Sam." Sam asks "If they got Mom, they can get Dad ,and if they get Dad, they can get us." Dean says "It's not like that" Moves and sits next to Sam "Okay? Dad's fine. We're fine. Trust me." Sam looks sad and worried Dean asks "You okay?" Sam says "Yeah." Looks away, Dean says "Hey, Dad's gonna be here for Christmas. Just like he always is." Sam Holds back tears "I just want to go to sleep, okay?" Dean says " Yeah, okay." Sam lies down on the bed and cries quietly, Dean stays sitting on the edge of the bed and says " It'll all be better when you wake up." Sam cries harder "You'll see. Promise."

Sam, Sarah and Dean walk up to a big white house with Christmas decorations on the lawn and Dean asks " This is where Mrs. Wreath lives, huh? Can't you just feel the evil pagan vibe?" Dean knocks on the door and Madge greets them and says "Yes?" Dean asks "Please tell me you're the Madge Carrigan who makes the meadowsweet wreaths." Madge says "Why, yes I am." Dean turns to Sam and Sarah " Ha! Bingo." Sarah says "Yeah? Uh, well, we were just admiring your wreaths in Mr. Sylar's place the other day?" Madge says "You were? Well, isn't that meadowsweet just the finest-smelling thing you ever smelled?" Sam says "It is, it sure is. But the problem is, is that all you wreaths had sold out before we got the chance to buy one." Madge says "Oh, fudge!" Dean asks "You wouldn't have another one that we could buy from you, would you?" Madge says "Oh, no, I'm afraid those were the only ones I had for this season." Sam says "Aww...." Dean asks "Tell me something, why did you decide to make them out of meadowsweet?" Mr. Carrigan comes down the staircase inside the house, He has an old-fashioned pipe and a cardigan and The two of them together are very 1950s and Madge says "Why, the smell, of course! I don't think I've ever smelled anything finer." Sam says "Yeah... um, you mentioned that." Mr.Cardigan asks "What's going on, honey?" Madge says "Well, just some nice boys and girl asking about my wreaths, dear." Mr.Cardigan says " Oh, the wreaths are fine. Fine wreaths. Oh, care for some peanut brittle?" He offers them peanut brittle, Dean reaches out to take some, but Sam slaps Dean's hand away and says "We're okay."

Dean and Sarah are sharpening a wooden stake, while Sam uses the laptop, Five other wooden stakes are on the bed and floor near Dean and Sarah, Sam claps his hand " I knew it! Something was way off with those two." Dean asks "What'd you find?" Sam says " The Carrigans lived in Seattle, last year, where two abductions took place right around Christmas They moved here in January all that Christmas crap in their house – that wasn't boughs of holly, It was vervain and mint." Sarah asks " Pagan stuff?" Sam says "Serious pagan stuff." Dean asks "So what, Ozzie and Harriet are keeping a pagan god hidden underneath their plastic-covered couch?" Sam says " I don't know all I know is we gotta check them out. So, what about Bobby? He's sure evergreen stakes will kill this thing, right?" Dean looks at the stake " Yeah, he's sure." Carrigan house nighttime, Sarah, Sam and Dean each hold a wooden stake, Dean Looks at the couch that still covered with plastic, whispers "See, Plastic." Sam touches it too as Dean shakes his head disapprovingly, Dean and Sarah goes into the living room and looks at all the Christmas decor, while Sam goes to the hall, which is also decorated with ornaments and snow globes. Sam goes into the kitchen and sees plates of cookies and cakes and he shines his flashlight on the lock of a door and says "Hey Sarah, Sam." Dean, Sarah and Sam walk downstairs to the basement, Dean points his flashlight and finds bones covered with blood in a large bowl and they check the room and realize the whole basement looks like a butchery room rather than a storage room. Sarah finds a leather bag covered with blood she looks disgusted and moves to another spot. Sam pokes a bag that is hanging from the wall and the bag moves – someone inside is struggling Madge grabs Sam's neck from behind and lifts him off the ground as he yells in surprise and Sarah and Dean hears him and comes running and says "Sam." Madge pushes Sam against a wall and holds him by the throat Sarah and Dean runs to him and tries to stake Madge, but Mr.carrigan grabs both of them and knocks their heads against a wall Dean and Sarah falls to the ground, unconscious. Madge looks at her husband, who smiles and nods and looks back at Sam , who is struggling to breathe and Madge says "Gosh, I wish you boys and girl hadn't come down here." Sam movies his flashlight to the Carrigan' faces, which appear monster-like when in the beam of the flashlight but turn back to normal out of the light Madge slams Sam's head hard against the wall and lets him drop to the ground.

A number of bowls and a knife are set out on the kitchen table Sam, Sarah and Dean are tied up in chairs, Sam and Dean are tied back to back and Sarah is separate from them, Sam asks "Dean? Sarah? You both okay?" Dean says "Yeah, I think so." Sarah says "Yeah my head hurts a little, So, I guess we're dealing with Mr. and Mrs. God. Dean nods "Nice to know." Dean says "Yeah." The Carrigans come into the kitchen, dressed in colorful Christmas- themed sweaters and says "Ooh, and here we thought you three lazybones were gonna sleep straight through all the fun stuff." giggles, Sarah says "Miss all this? Nah, we're partiers" Mr Carrigan Smokes his pipe " Isn't she he a kick in the pants, honey? You're hunters, is what you are." Dean says " And you're pagan gods. So, why don't we just call it even, and go our separate ways?" Mrs Carrigan says " What, so you can bring more hunters and kill us? laughs "I don't think so." Sam says "Maybe you should have thought about that before you went snacking on humans, now, huh?" Mr Carrigan says "Oh now, don't get all wet." Madge says "Oh, why, we used to take over a hundred tributes a year and that's a fact Put a napkin on Dean's lap "Now what do we take? What, two? Three?" Put's a napkin on Sam and Sarah's laps " Hardy Boys and girl makes six." Madge says "Now, that's not so bad, is it?" Dean says "Well, you say it like that – I guess you guys are the Cunninghams." Mr Carrigan says "You, mister, better show us a little respect." Sam asks "Or what? You'll eat us?" Mr Carrigan says "Not so fast." Looks at Madge who looks excited "There's rituals to be followed first." Madge says " Oh, we're just sticklers for ritual." Mr.Carrigan says " And you know what kicks off the whole shebang?" Madge smiles and Sarah says " Let me guess... meadowsweet." Madge says "Oh!" Dean says "Oh shucks, you're all out of wreaths. I guess we'll just have to cancel the sacrifice, huh?" Madge says "Oh, don't be such a gloomy Gus. Put wreaths around Dean, Sam and Sarah's necks "There. Ohh... Don't they just look darling?" Mr Carrigan says "Good enough to eat. Smacks his lips "All righty-roo." whips out a knife with a shhing " Step number two." Mr Carrigan walks to Sam carrying a knife and a bowl. He holds the bowl under Sam's arm and prepares to cut him with the knife and Dean says "Sammy?! Sammy?!" Mr Carrigan slices sam's arm arm and collects his blood in the bowl and Sam says "D-Don't! Screams and Dean says "Leave him alone, you son of a bitch!" Mr Carrigan says "Hear how they talk to us? Heh heh. To Gods? " Madge takes the knife and bowl " Listen, pal, back in the day, we were worshiped by millions." Dean says "Time have changed!" Mr Carrigan says " Tell me about it, All of a sudden, this Jesus character is the hot new thing in town. All of a sudden, our – our altars are being burned down, and we're being hunted down like common monsters." Madge says "But did we say a peep? Oh ho ho, no, no, no, we did not. Mr Carrigan adds something to Sam's blood in the bowl "Two millennium." Madge picks up a tool "We kept a low profile; we got jobs, a mortgage. Wh-What was that word, dear?" Mr Carrigan says "We assimilated."

Madge says "Yeah, we assimilated. Why, we play bridge on Tuesday and Fridays." Holding a large knife "We're just like everybody else." Sarah says "You're not blending in as smooth as you think, lady." Madge says to Dean "This might pinch a bit, dear." Madge comes closer to Dean and slices his arm just like Mr Carrigan did to Sam Dean screams "You bitch!" Madge says "Oh, my goodness me! Somebody owes a nickel to the swear jar. Oh, do you know what I say when I feel like swearing?" Dean looks at Madge in the eyes, as she gestures with her sharp knife in cheesy emphasis "Fudge." Dean panting "I'll try and remember that!" Mr Carrigan picks up a pair of pliers "You boys have no idea how lucky you are. There was a time when kids came from miles around, just to be sitting where you are." He stands in front of Sam with the tool, Sam panicked and says "What do you think you're doing with those?" Mr Carrigan smiles and Dean looks at Madge and says "You fudging touch me again and I'll fudging kill you!" Madge says " Very good!"

Madge slices Dean's other arm and he groans in pain, while Mr carrigan grabs Sarah's hand and she says "No. No. Don't." Mr Carrigan pulls the nail of Sarah's index finger and she screams, Mr Carrigan Holds up the nail and says " Oh, we got a winner!" The Carrigans put all the ingredients in the bowl and stir them and Madge and asks "What else, dear?" Mr Carrigan says " Well, let's see. Uh, fingernail, blood. Oh... Hits his own head "sweet Peter on a popsicle stick... laughs " I forgot the tooth." Madge says "Oh Dear!" Dean breathing hard " Merry Christmas, Sam, Sarah." Sam and Sarah both groans, Mr Carrigan picks up pliers and grabs Dean's chin and she says "Open wide... and say, "Aaah."" Mr Carrigan puts the pliers into Dean's mouth and Dean groans, The doorbell rings and Dean says With the pliers in his mouth "Somebody gonna get that?" Madge and Mr Carrigan look each other Sam and Sarah both relieved "You should get that." Mr Carrigan Rolls his eyes and sighs "Come on." Dean sighs in relief and runs his tongue around his teeth.

The Carrigans open the front door, a neighbour wearing a green reindeer sweater rings a bell and holds out a fruitcake and says "Merry Christmas!" Gives Madge the fruitcake and Mr Carrigan says " I told you I smelled fruitcake!" Madge look grateful says "You shouldn't have." Neighbour says "Oh, bite your tongue, it's my pleasure." Mr Carrigan says "It looks scrumptious!" Neighbour says "Say, Neal and I are going caroling. You care to join?" Madge says "You know we would—" Mr Carrigan says "It's my back. Darn thing's giving me fits." Neighbour says "Oh, well, that's a shame. Oh well, Merry Christmas." Madge says "And to you too, dear." Neighbour asks "Hey, are we still on for bridge tomorrow?" Mr Carrigan says "With bells on!" Neighbour says "Yes! Okay, bye!" Mr Carrigan says "Bye-bye." They smile broad fake smiles, when the neighbour's gone, Mr Carrigan drops the fruitcake and steps on it on the way back to the kitchen.

Madge and Mr Carrigan open the door to the kitchen and hurry inside and Madge says "Now, where were we?" Sam, Sarah and Dean are no longer in their chairs, The Carrigans see one of the doors close, and turn around to see the other door close too. Sam is behind one door and Sarah and Dean are behind the other, as the Carrigans try to open them, Dean pulls out a drawer to hold their door closed and goes to help Sam, Dean Leaning one hand against the door asks "What do we do now? The evergreen stakes are in the basement!" Sam says "Well, we need more evergreen, Dean!" Looks at the Christmas tree and Sarah says " I think I just found us some more."
