X-Files Christmas

Bethlehem, Pa.
11:51 p.m., December 24th.

"We're too late! It's already been here."

"Mulder, I hope you know what you're doing."

"Look, Scully, just like the other homes: Douglas fir, truncated, mounted, transformed into a shrine; halls decked with boughs of holly; stockings hung by the chimney, with care."

"You really think someone's been here?"

"Someone, or something."

"Mulder, over here - it's a fruitcake."

"Don't touch it! Those things can be lethal."

"It's O.K. There's a note attached: 'Gonna find out who's naughty and nice.'"

"It's judging them, Scully. It's making a list."

"Who? What are you talking about?"

"Ancient mythology tells of an obese humanoid entity who could travel at great speed in a craft powered by antlered servants. Once a year, near the winter solstice, this creature is said to descend from the heavens to reward its followers and punish disbelievers with jagged chunks of anthracite." "But that's legend, Mulder - a story told by parents to frighten children. Surely you don't believe it?" "Something was here tonight, Scully. Check out the bite marks on this gingerbread man. Whatever tore through this plate of cookies was massive - and in a hurry."

"It left crumbs everywhere. And look, Mulder, this milk glass has been completely drained."

"It gorged itself, Scully. It fed without remorse."

"But why would they leave it milk and cookies?"

"Appeasement. Tonight is the Eve, and nothing can stop its wilding."

"But if this thing does exist, how did it get in? The doors and windows were locked. There's no sign of forced entry."

"Unless I miss my guess, it came through the fireplace."

"Wait a minute, Mulder. If you're saying some huge creature landed on the roof and came down this chimney, you're crazy. The flue is barely six inches wide. Nothing could get down there."

"But what if it could alter its shape, move in all directions at once?"

"You mean, like a bowl full of jelly?"

"Exactly. Scully, I've never told anyone this, but when I was a child my home was visited. I saw the creature. It had long white shanks of fur surrounding its ruddy, misshapen head. Its bloated torso was red and white. I'll never forget the horror. I turned away, and when I looked back it had somehow taken on the facial features of my father."

"Impossible."

"I know what I saw. And that night it read my mind. It brought me a Mr. Potato Head, Scully. It knew that I wanted a Mr. Potato Head!"

"I'm sorry, Mulder, but you're asking me to disregard the laws of physics. You want me to believe in some supernatural being who soars across the skies and brings gifts to good little girls and boys. Listen to what you're saying. Do you understand the repercussions? If this gets out, they'll close the X-files."

"Scully, listen to me: It knows when you're sleeping. It knows when you're awake."

"But we have no proof."

"Last year, on this exact date, SETI radio telescopes detected bogeys in the airspace over twenty-seven states. The White House ordered a Condition Red."

"But that was a meteor shower."

"Officially. Two days ago, eight prized Scandinavian reindeer vanished from the National Zoo, in Washington, D.C. Nobody - not even the zookeeper - was told about it. The government doesn't want people to know about Project Kringle. They fear that if this thing is proved to exist, the public will stop spending half its annual income in a holiday shopping frenzy. Retail markets will collapse. Scully, they cannot let the world believe this creature lives. There's too much at stake. They'll do whatever it takes to insure another silent night."

"Mulder, I -"

"Sh-h-h. Do you hear what I hear?"

"On the roof. It sounds like... a clatter."

"The truth is up there. Let's see what's the matter."

((*giggles* Where did you get that X-file Christmas thingy from? Lol Man I miss that show. Of course I could hear them in my head as I was reading that. whee ..I don't think you killed the thread sis.))

((cowers in corner scarryyyy)

(("Grow Old Along With Me" Originally written by John Lennon, but the only version I've heard sung is done by Mary Chapin Carpenter. 3nodding ))

(( heart Also dedicated to my sweetie heart ))

Grow old along with me
The best is yet to be
When our time has come
We will be as one
God bless our love
God bless our love

Grow old along with me
Two branches of one tree
Face the setting sun
When the day is done
God bless our love
God bless our love

Spending our lives together
Man and wife together
World without end
World without end

Grow old along with me
Whatever fate decrees
We will see it through
For our love is true
God bless our love
God bless our love

((heh, for some reason that reminds me of a Christmas song))

A Christmas To Remember, Amy Grant

Twinkling lights
A chill is in the air
And carols everywhere
Close your eyes it's almost here
Candles and cards
And favorite movie scenes
The smell of evergreens
As special as it's always been
And I have a dream or two
And maybe they will come true

Setting our hopes on a big snow tonight
We'll wake up to a world of white
And it's gonna be a Christmas to remember
Light up the fire, play some Nat King Cole
Always sentimental and don't you know
That it's gonna be a Christmas to remember?

I know it's true
Time doesn't stand still
Many things can change
But we know somethings never will
The memories we share
The songs we always sing
The mystery of life
The hopefulness this season brings

And I have a dream or two
And maybe they will come true, come true

Setting our hopes on a big snow tonight
We'll wake up to a world of white
And it's gonna be a Christmas to remember
Light up the fire play some Nat King Cole
Always sentimental and don't you know
That it's gonna be a Christmas to remember
To remember

((My personal fave Amy Grant Christmas song is "Breath of Heaven"))

I have traveled many moonless night
Cold and weary, with a babe inside
And I wonder what I've done
Holy Father, you have come
And chosen me now
To carry your son

I am waiting in a silent prayer
I am frightened by the load I bear
In a world as cold as stone,
Must I walk this path alone?
Be with me now
Be with me now

Chorus:
Breath of heaven
Hold me together
Be forever near me
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Light up my darkness
Pour over me your holiness
For you are holy

Breath of heaven

Do you wonder as you watch my face
If a wiser one one should have had my place
But I offer all I am
For the mercy of your plan
Help me be strong
Help me be
Help me

(Chorus)
(Chorus)

Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven

I have hot pants for you.
