|
|
Marge, my beautiful fiancée! Ready to jet off to the Bahamas for a snowless, un-Christmas-y holiday?
|
|
|
|
Whoa, whoa, whoa. You’re marrying Flanders in this story?!
|
|
The heroine ALWAYS starts out engaged to the wrong man. Respect the formula!
|
|
|
|
Oh, how I hate Christmas, ever since I hardened my heart and took a high-powered job of some kind in the city.
|
|
But I must return to my hometown to help my mother run the family Christmas tree farm for the next few weeks.
|
|
Won’t you be miserable, surrounded by all that snow and Christmas cheer?
|
|
|
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.
|
|
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).
|
|
|
|
Mom, I'm home!
|
|
*wakes up* Marge! What a surprise to see you here!
|
|
Have you been sleeping on my parents’ couch since I left seven years ago?
|
|
No! Sometimes I cry myself to sleep in ditches and storm drains. Anyway, I work at your family’s Christmas tree farm now.
|
|
|
Homer, I’m truly sorry I had to pursue my dream of being an executive in publishing, or advertising, or whatever it is.
|
|
|
But now you’ve returned to run the family business?
|
|
|
No. In order to run a Christmas tree farm, you have to believe in the power of Christmas. Otherwise the accounting is impossible.
|
|
True. You can’t manage the books without childlike innocence. That’s just business reality.

Pt. 2
| After completing Pt. 1
|
|
|
|
|
Mom, how could you hire my ex-fiancé to work at our family business?
|
|
Well, I wouldn’t have had to if YOU still held Christmas in your heart. But noooooo!
|
|
I discovered a better world. A world of business, and misplaced priorities, and boyfriends who don’t understand the real me!
|
|
|
What do you even do? You've never bothered to tell me!
|
|
|
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?!
|
|
|
Hi, Marge. Fancy seeing you here at the place where I work. Here, let me help you set up.
|

Task: "Make Homer Try to Impress Marge". The job takes place at the Christmas Tree Farm and takes 4 hours.
Task: "Collect Stockings" (x300).
|
|
|
|
|
Homer, seeing you reminds me of when I was young and carefree and full of hope. And I don’t like that!
|
|
…is what I’m telling myself.
|
|
|
I’ll just move some Christmas trees around, so you can notice what all this physical labor has done for my muscles.
|
|
Hey, remember how much we used to love hanging Christmas lights?
|
|
|
I guess a scene of us having fun together despite my reservations could be useful, story-wise…
|
|
|
*sound of trees suddenly all catching on fire* Oh. Hmm. I’m a little out of practice…

|
|
|
|
I'll put the fire out! *runs into a flaming tree, catches fire, uses burning self to light a second tree on fire*
|
|
|
The family business is ruined. Marge, you’re free to return to your job in… is it fashion? Finance?
|
|
|
It’s a mix of those two, plus the music industry and something Internet-y.
|
|
|
But I’m not going to let the Christmas tree farm fail. Not when I’ve got so much experience working in a field that’s not exactly luxury retail, but similar.
|
|
Because I’m a driven, self-sacrificing, serious, no-fun kind of--
|
|
|
WE GET IT.

|
|
I need to research the holiday industry. I'll spend a weekend at a quaint country inn that's Christmas-themed year round!
|
|
Is that even a real thing?
|
|
In stories like this one, they are literally EVERYWHERE.
