Max's Christmas Passed

(Max is looking outside at the snow wearing a Santa Claus hat) 

Max: Christmas.

(Meanwhile Ruby is taking down the Christmas tree decorations)

Ruby: Well, that's the lights done. Now for the ornaments. (as she removes one of the ornaments Max comes over)

Max: Christmas.

Ruby: (sighs) It was a wonderful Christmas, Max. But it's over now, and it's time to put all the Christmas decorations away.

(Max shakes his head) 

Ruby: (laughing) Max! I love Christmas too. It's too bad it only comes once a year. But that just makes it more special, don't you think?

(Max scowls) 

Ruby: Well I guess this box is full. Time to start filling the next one. (she sees Max looking glum) Don't be sad that Christmas is over! Now we can start thinking about other holidays that come next, like Valentine's Day and Easter and Halloween. (Ruby finishes filling the box) There! I've got all the decorations from this side of the tree. Now I just have to take down the decorations on the other side.

(Max gets an idea. While Ruby is busy removing ornaments he takes some out of her hand) 

Ruby: Thanks Max! This will go a lot faster if you help. Un-decorating the tree is not nearly as much fun as decorating the tree but when we take the ornaments down we can remember how fun Christmas was.

(Max looks at the boxes, then starts hanging the ornaments back on the tree)

Ruby: We were lucky to get so many nice gifts this year. You got your builder world construction kit and I got a new tea set. (smiles at her tea set) There! All the decorations are finally off the tree.

(Ruby gasps in shock when she notices the ornaments are not in their boxes.) 

Ruby: Where did all the decorations go?

Max: (hanging decorations on the tree) Christmas!

Ruby: Oh Max, I know how you feel. But Christmas is over, and all the decorations have to come down.

Max: CHRISTMAS!

Ruby: (giving Max his robot) Here, Max. Why don't you play with your remote control robot
