Heh...

Hey, isn’t it time for presents? Eh...

You're not gonna ask us every five minutes like last year, are you?

Ha-ha! Boy, you're so impatient, Justin!

You know the saying, don’t you? Good things come to those who wait!

Yeah, yeah, Grandpa!

But what if you don’t know how to wait?

Since you don’t know what to do, why don’t you help us set the table?

I, uh... I think I just heard Mom and Dad calling from the kitchen!

Heh-heh... See ya!

(both) Ah...

-(both humming)

Ohh! At this rate, we won’t enjoy Christmas dinner before Easter!

Hey, can I help you?

(both) Whoaaa...!

-Ugh...

-Justin? What is wrong with you?

Well, everything’s so slow!

I’ve been waiting to open my Christmas presents for a year now.

I’m just trying to speed things up.

This house moves in slow motion.

You know, honey, waiting is part of the fun!

-And before presents,

there’s dinner and Grandpa’s Christmas songs!

What? Grandpa’s Christmas songs again?

# Oh, Christmas tree! Oh, Christmas tree! #

# How lovely are thy branches! #

Oh, no!

I can’t wait any longer!

Gotta do something to make time move faster!

(chitters)

Guwi, got any ideas?

Oh!

Ah-ha! Now, if that’s not a sign!

I’d even say it’s a bit of Christmas magic!

(chitters)

"TicTacZoom is a monster who can control time!"

(chuckles)

Of course! Just imagine, it’s simple...

I call up TicTacZoom and bingo!

We go right to the moment when we open the presents!

Isn’t that monstrously awesome?

(chuckles) (chitters)

Aw, get over it, Guwi.

OK, now for the ingredients...

A coin from my piggy bank.

(groans) Huh? A hair.

The hand from an alarm clock.

Ah... Bingo!

(grunts)

And some sand from a cactus.

Check!

Mm. Yeah, I'm kinda thirsty!

How about you? Everything cool?

Rats, no runny camembert.

Oh, well, this stinky blue cheese will do the job.

Come on. Over here, you!

Ugh...

Ewww... Sorry, Guwi!

(shaking)

(music)

Hey, TicTacZoom! I need you to speed up time...

no dinner and especially no Grandpa singing

because that... uh, no, thank you.

Take me to when we start opening the presents, okay?

Three, two, one...

TicTacZoom!

(music)

-Ho-ho, Justin, there you are, great timing!

Can you hand me that box of ornaments please?

It’s right there, just behind you.

The ornaments? What? What time is it?

It’s ten o’clock in the morning, Justin!

Didn’t you sleep well? Why don't you give me a hand...

...that’ll help you wake up! Ten o’clock?

Err... actually, I got things to do.

Late homework stuff. See you later, bye!

Mm...

Like I said, he didn’t sleep well.

-(chitters)

Ugh... TicTacZoom, I asked you to speed up time, not rewind it!

I can't open up my presents at breakfast!

Do you understand?

Speed up time?

Ooh, err...

You called up TicTacZoom, Justin!

I didn’t give you the Shaker so you could open your presents early!

And it’s very risky to play around with time!

Err... you mean I might open an interdimensional time warp

that will drop us into a black hole?

Much worse than that... I won’t get to sing my Christmas song.

Well, TicTacZoom misunderstands everything I say, anyway.

Really? That’s strange.

You didn’t change any of the ingredients of the recipe,

...now, did you? Huh?

'Cause changing ingredients can lead to catastrophe!

Uh, no! I mean... uh, yeah...

Actually, heh...

You better send TicTacZoom back into the Shaker!

And right away, Justin! Hey, Dad!

Come downstairs, please?

We need your help! Hope you understood!

Yeah, yeah, I get it, Grandpa.

I’ll do it right away!

After... one last try!

OK, TicTacZoom, we’re gonna start over.

It’s gotta be nighttime, dinner has to be over and...

Three, two, one...

TicTacZoom!

-Ohh... -(chitters)

Huh? What?

Where’s the Christmas tree?

(fly buzzing)

Christmas tree?

-(all) In July? (all laugh)

What?

I don’t believe it! (whimpers)

Ugh! What’s wrong, Justin?

Late for an appointment or something?

Yeah, like six months late! I should be at Christmas right now!

Justin, you didn’t listen to me. Now you’re stuck in a time warp!

Oh... I didn’t even get to open my presents!

And I missed tons of stuff.

Last day of school, Mehdi’s wild birthday party.

(music)

Grandpa, just imagine if you didn’t get to sing your Christmas songs!

Hm. I think I get it. There might be a way to fix TicTacZoom’s mistakes.

Make him eat the page of a calendar for the date you want to return to.

What? That’s it?

Couldn’t you have put that in the Monster's Book, Grandpa?

Yes, but promise you won’t abuse TicTacZoom's powers.

'Cause if he gets too hungry,

he can for sure twist the space-time continuum.

Yeah, yeah, don’t worry, I’ll keep that in mind.

No!

No... not the right one.

(grunts)

Aahh!

What are you looking for, honey?

I need a calendar from last year.

But I threw them all out, they’re worthless now!

I can't believe it!

Is it just me or is Justin acting a little weird?

-More than usual you mean?

-Err... you’re right. -Hm.

Oh! Not one single calendar from last year!

What am I gonna do now?

Ha-ha! I know! Uh-huh...

My schedule book!

Hm?

Oh!! Like a dummy, I tore out all the vacation pages!

Oh yeah, I know!

Gwen’s scheduling book. December 24th must be in there!

I’m gonna need your help, Guwi! (chitters)

Gwen! Guwi won’t stay still!

Ya mind keeping an eye on him while I do my homework, please!

Your homework? At eleven at night?

Well, you know what they say!

Any time is good time for heroes,

and since I’m a superhero, yeah, well, err... you get the idea.

(groans)

Hey, are you nuts?

Uh...

Guwi! Get back here!

No!

Ugh...

Come on!

Just... stop! (groans)

Guwi, calm down, please.

(chitters)

There, you see? All you had to do was ask nicely.

Sorry to bother you, sis!

See ya later XXOO!

Oh! (sighs)

Okay! So now, take me back to Christmas!

Three...

Two...

One...

tock... zzzooooomm...

(whimpers)

Way to go, TicTacZoom!

Come on. Back in the Shaker, it’s less risky.

Wait a sec, I wanna make sure it’s Christmas.

While I’m gone, you stay cool, okay?

Yes, it’s Christmas!

And it smells like turkey, awesome!

There you are, son! Sit down for dinner.

My turkey is so delicious, it won't be around for long!

-(excited chatter)

(all) Huh?

Uh...

I am so hungry, my stomach is making the craziest noises!

(nervous chuckle)

-Hm. -(all) Oh?

Ugh...

(shouts and groans)

-(all gasp)

-Oh, boy! Something strange is going on.

I should go see what it is!

Dad, wait a sec!

Ahh-Ohhh!!

Aahh!

Ughhh!

(beeping)

(music in reverse)

TicTacZoom! Rats, rats! Uh... uh...

Hey, what are you doing, TicTacZoom?

(whimpers)

Oh! You’re actually hungry!

Don’t move, I’ll just fix you up a little “temporal snack”.

(music in reverse)

(gulps)

(burps)

Huh? You wanna eat my Super Alien clock?

That was my all-time favorite birthday present!

Out of a question!

Aaaahhhhhh!

Okay, I agree, things are totally out of control.

I guess I don’t have a choice.

(groans)

(chomps)

(beeping)

Three, two, one...

TicTacZoom!

Yay!

Heh...

(knocking on door)

Uhhh... Oh, heh...

(music)

Leave it, I’ll do it.

It's my dirty laundry after all. Heh...

You, pick up your dirty laundry?

Are you okay, Justin?

Are you feeling feverish?

No, no, everything’s fine.

Must be the magic of Christmas!

Well, as you wish.

I’ll just go help your dad in the kitchen!

Thanks, Mom! I don’t know about you,

but I’m getting sick and tired of all this time travel!

All I want is a normal Christmas!

So, see ya later, alligator.

Or, rather, in the Shaker!

(chitters)

Okay. Circle... Air...

Snake... Surprise... Cloud!

(music)

And... voilá!

Dinner is served!

Oh-ho! You certainly like my turkey, kids, huh?

Ahhhh...

Hey, kids? How’d you like to open your presents now?

Congratulations, you’ve been very patient!

No, no, wait a sec!

To make the present-opening perfect, we need one more thing.

Christmas songs performed by Grandpa!

Oh! With pleasure, Justin!

# Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way! #

# Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way! #

(both) # Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh, hey! #

(all) # Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way! #

# Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh! Hey! #

# Merry Christmas... #

-(string breaks) -(all) Huh?

Awesome, a telescope!

Now I won’t have to spend my time looking at your face, Justin!

Yes! “Alien Destroyer Eighteen!”

So cool! I’ve only played the first seventeen episodes of the saga!

A watch? Oh yeah, that might come in handy!

You can say that again, Justin!
