=== Prologue ===
:Homer:
:Christmas in December!
:Wow, wow, wow!
:Give me tons of presents
:Now, now, now!
:Flanders:
:Hey, hey, Homer! Writing a new Christmas carol?
:Homer:
:Maybe.
:Flanders:
:Well, the bible says it's fun to do stuff together.
:There's a stranger in the manger,
:And his name is love.
:Take it, Homer.
:(Homer shoves Flanders outside.)
:Oh, I got it. You want me to stay out here and work on the chorus.
:Homer:
:Flanders, I am a patient, reasonable, handsome man. But even I have my limits. Now beat it!
:(Homer attempts to spray Flanders with water from the garden hose but the water ends up freezing.)
:Flanders:
:Why, thank you, Homer. It's a Popsicle and my favorite flavor: plain.
:(Flanders breaks off a piece and licks it, Homer gets furious and accidentally sprays and freezes himself.)
:Homer:
:Lousy no good—How'm I supposed to write a song with that stupid jerk bothering me all the time and—? Wait a minute.
:(plays three notes on the piano)
