The Night Before Christmas? Best Christmas story ever!

- I'm the best teller ever! - Donkey...

I got it com M pitted to memorization!

- Gather round ! - Donkey! Wait!

I'm supposed to tell the Christmas story.

'Twas the night before Christmas and I spent all the day

Finishing' up on my Christmas display

Now, M is sin' all this would be nothin' but tragic

So just follow me and I'll show you the magic

Now, out in the yard in a glorious clutter

ls a spectacle there that'll make your heart flutter

With 20-foot cheese balls and a bi equinox fountain

And yodeling' elves on an ambrosia mountain

A stare where acrobats jump, leap and prance

And honor the day through interpretive dance

[all shout

Just when you think the display is complete

The Christmas parade comes right down the street

With holiday floats all in silver and blue

With sugarplum fairies and a reindeer or two

There's a baton-twirling' snowman all happy and perky

Magical peacocks and a dancing' roast turkey

[♪ Carmen Carter: "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)"J

[Donkey) And right when you think that you've just seen it all

Comes a hue waffle Santa that's 50 feet tall

Ho, ho, ho!

With syrup and butter the sight just amazes

As it's flanked by a choir all sinning' his praises

we tell a very different tale of the Santa N Nicholas.

He's not made of waffles.

This Santa was suave He was nothing like that

The Santa I know was a hot Latin cat

He was dressed all in fur from his head to his paws

And he stood there heroic A real Santa... Claws

Red are his boots

- And so is his cape - [all Ola!

His sword is a cane that tastes like crab cake

He wears a fine belt and a leather cravat

And there's a cute fuzzy thin which hands down from his hat

All I wanted was a nice Christmas with my dam oily.

That's exactly why we're all here! Come on , let's finish telling' my story.

No, Donkey, that's not what I meant. And get out of my chair.

- Hey, what's this? - Donkey, let go of the book.

- We could come to our house. - J, we have plenty of schnitzel.

Now maybe we can ...

Fiona? Where you going?

Shrek, you just kicked everybody out on Christmas.

Well , that wasn't Christmas. That was chaos!

Look, I know it didn't go like you wanted.

What I wanted was a perfect Christmas for me and my dam oily.

- That was our dam oily. - You call that a dam oily?

That was a natural disaster!

On Christmas, that's how it works. Yes, it was crowded.

Yes, it got a little out of hand.

- Fiona, they lit me on fire! - Shrek...

I had everything under control until they showed up and ruined my Christmas!

- Your Christmas? - I mean our Christmas.

For you , and the babies.

[sighs Christmas is not just about you or me. Or even the babies.

You just don't get it.

I have to go. I need to apologize to our friends.

Fiona, wait.

[♪ Eels: "The Stars Shine in the Sky Tonight"J

I don't understand why Shrek had to be so mean and cranky.

We were tr yin' to do what you wanted!

- What're you talking about? - What you said this morning.

You and Shrek wanted to have a big dam oily Christmas.

I said it was our first Christmas together as a dam oily.

Right. That's me and everybody else. Then he lost his chm per like that.

You know, Donkey, none of us really asked Shrek what he wanted.

I M us agree with the Princess. And you , especially, were no Christmas angel.

- I don't rem em brr akin' you anything ! - Donkey.

I'm sorry, Princess. You're right.

- Still , Shrek didn't have to be so.. . - [Shrek What?

- [yelling - [meowing

Pigheaded? Stubborn? Mean?

Well , maybe I am all those things, but I'm an ogre, OK?

So here's the thing. [clears throat

I'm sorry you took getting kicked out of my house the wrong way.

No, wait. What I meant to say is

I know you're just trying to be helpful in your irritating fashion ...

- Ay, car am BA! - Some people can't help being annoying.

- Shrek! - Look,

I shouldn't have lost my chm per.

- Apology accepted. Let's go eat. - Wait a M unite.

There's something' more to this. Come on , what's goon' on?

Look, all I wanted was to make this perfect for my dam oily,

but I don't even know what Christmas means.

The thing is, this is my first Christmas too.

Whoa! Hold up, Shrek! You mean that you never had ...

- No. - Not even one?

- No! - You mean no chestnuts,

no Santa, no presents, no stockings?

- No nut cakes?! - Donkey!

No, none of that.

Ogres don't celebrate Christmas.

Ogres don't celebrate anything.

Oh , man , now I'm all emotional.

- Come here, him me a hug ! - All right, that's close enough.

OK, all right, I just.. . guess I got... a little

excited about Christmas and all the presents and M mistletoe

and everything , and I forgot that it's...

It's about us all ban' together, and I'm. .. I'm sorry, Shrek.

I know, Donkey, and. .. and I'm sorry it ended up in a great big fight.

Christmas is all about fights.

My mama used to say, "Christmas ain't Christmas till somebody cries."

Usually that someone's me.

There is no right way to do Christmas. You just do it.

[all J, with schnitzel!

- And eggnog ! - [all And cheese!

- And dam oily. - Yeah. And dam oily.

So despite the fact that you drive me crazy at times...

Yes, Donkey, I'm looking' at you.

... It would mean a lot to me if you'd all come back and join us.

OK, I guess I deserved that.

All right, don't push your luck.

[laughing They got you good , Shrek!

That wasn't even funny! Who did that?

[babies cooing

[Fiona Well , that's the last of the spare blankets.

Sorry, but this is my spot. I never get the good spots, so I specifically...

So we are pigs, pigs in the blanket, ha?

Don't need this.

Now, the sight of the house would make any ore droop

For 'twas sickeningly sweet as unicorn poop

Yet who was arriving to help this lost cause ?

The foul, the vile and handsome Ore Claus

Hey. How's it goon'?

He looked all around and scratched at his beard

And said...

And said...

This place is worse than I thought... U H , feared.

So he crabbed up his belly and screwed up his face

- And let loose a.. . - [loud belch

That transformed the place

With a gleam in his eye his work here was done

And then to the babies he wave one by one

A festering bottle of stinky swamp juice

And for mommy a kiss and a quid Christmas noose

Four hundred twenty five degrees, 20 M unites per pound.

Then Qingdao a finer inside of his nose

And giving a nod up the chum yen he rose

And I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight

"Smelly Christmas to all and to all a gross night"
