Pt. 1[edit]

After completing Christmas is Canceled Pt. 5
Chat Bubble Decoration
Ned - Happy Marge, my beautiful fiancée! Ready to jet off to the Bahamas for a snowless, un-Christmas-y holiday?
Homer - Surprised Whoa, whoa, whoa. You're marrying Flanders in this story?!
Marge - Serious The heroine ALWAYS starts out engaged to the wrong man. Respect the formula!
Chat Bubble Decoration
Marge - Annoyed Oh, how I hate Christmas, ever since I hardened my heart and took a high-powered job of some kind in the city.
Marge - Sad But I must return to my hometown to help my mother run the family Christmas tree farm for the next few weeks.
Ned - Sad Won't you be miserable, surrounded by all that snow and Christmas cheer?
Marge - Sad Don't worry. I'm sure I won't rediscover the magic of Christmas. Or fall back in love with the man I was always meant to be with.
Ned - Confused Uh, who said anything about another man?
Task: "Make Marge Return to Her Hometown". The job takes place at a Brown House and takes 4 hours.
Task: "Collect Stockings" (x100).
Chat Bubble Decoration
Marge Mom, I'm home!
Homer - Guilty *wakes up* Marge! What a surprise to see you here!
Marge - Surprised Have you been sleeping on my parents' couch since I left seven years ago?
Homer - Cautious No! Sometimes I cry myself to sleep in ditches and storm drains. Anyway, I work at your family's Christmas tree farm now.
Marge - Sad Homer, I'm truly sorry I had to pursue my dream of being an executive in publishing, or advertising, or whatever it is.
Homer - Cautious But now you've returned to run the family business?
Marge - Sad No. In order to run a Christmas tree farm, you have to believe in the power of Christmas. Otherwise the accounting is impossible.
Homer - Sad True. You can't manage the books without childlike innocence. That's just business reality.
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10
Christmas Tree Farm and Free Land Token

Pt. 2[edit]

After completing Pt. 1
Chat Bubble Decoration
Marge - Annoyed Mom, how could you hire my ex-fiancé to work at our family business?
Mrs. Bouvier - Annoyed Well, I wouldn't have had to if YOU still held Christmas in your heart. But noooooo!
Marge - Angry I discovered a better world. A world of business, and misplaced priorities, and boyfriends who don't understand the real me!
Mrs. Bouvier - Annoyed What do you even do? You've never bothered to tell me!
Marge - Angry Isn't it enough to know that it stresses me out, and I think that makes me happy, but it's actually killing me inside?!

Marge - Sad Homer, seeing you reminds me of when I was young and carefree and full of hope. And I don't like that!
Marge - Nervous ...is what I'm telling myself.
Homer - Sad I'll just move some Christmas trees around, so you can notice what all this physical labor has done for my muscles.

Marge - Annoyed I guess a scene of us having fun together despite my reservations could be useful, story-wise...
Homer - Guilty *sound of trees suddenly all catching on fire* Oh. Hmm. I'm a little out of practice...

Marge - Sad All this Christmas magic has me rethinking my life. I wish my cold, practical fiancé was here to refreeze my fast-melting heart.
Ned - Happy Hello, Marge!
Marge - Surprised My beloved Flanders! It's a Christmas miracle! *embraces him dramatically*
Ned - Shocked *pushes her away * "Christmas miracle"? Try to be practical and dour, won't you?
Marge - Nervous I'm trying, Flanders my dear. Nothing scares me more than the prospect of rediscovering my true self and daring to love Christmas.
Ned - Angry I swear to you, I will NOT let that happen!
Marge - Happy Oh, Flanders! Thank God you're here with me, instead of my true love!
Ned - Worried Uh...

Marge So, Mr. Ghost. I'm still waiting to hear why Homer is the man I should give my love to.
The Ghost of Christmas Past - Sad Yeah, um. Let me think here...
Marge - Nervous Just one good reason would do it...
The Ghost of Christmas Past - Sad Yeah, this is harder than I thought it'd be...
Homer - Happy Marge, thank goodness I found you!
Marge - Surprised Homer? How did you find me here?
Homer - Happy Let's say I followed a star in the sky that led me to you. Let's NOT say I hacked your email account.
Marge - Happy It's a Christmas miracle! We are MEANT to be together! *kisses Homer*
