Narration / Scene Description

Bernie yawns and rubs her eyes. Seconds later, she's fully conked out, mouth open, drooling. Time lapse. Breaking the sound of white noise and snores is an eerie creaking not coming from doors. Scuffling and sleigh bells are heard from the roof. The clatter continues till we see the proof. Soot wafts out of the fireplace, and we introduce Santa in all of his grace.

He has the perfect Coca-Cola claws, jolly red circular cheeks, tiny gold frames that sit on the tip of his buttoned nose, and the kindest blue eyes you've ever seen. Santa puts down his big red bag and spots the cookies. He makes a beeline for the baked goods and takes a bite. But as he chomps, he notices that something isn't kosher. Or rather, it is.

His eyes snap to a menorah, a dreidel, manischewitz, latkes, unwrapped socks, a black annex, and finally... Bernie, who is now wide awake. Santa stares back at her in confusion until his list magically flies up. It smacks him on the hand, unscrolls, and floats before him. As Santa inspects the list, he sees the Check Twice boxes empty. He shakes his head and gives a belly laugh.

We smash zoom into Santa's eye and go on a galactic journey through candy cane fields and snowflakes galore. The snowflakes take the form of stars of David. A menorah rushes to the forefront and a loaned hand lights the first candle. Benjamin's floating head appears.

We are sucked out of Santa's eye. He's a frozen statue, unable to speak or move.

Santa's stoic. Bernie grabs a cheese knife from a nearby charcuterie and points it at Santa.

Santa has no reaction. Bernie stares at him nervously until Santa's scroll begins to glow and vibrate. The list magically presents itself to Bernie. She sees etch-a-sketched images of her neighbor Phil's von Trapp son unwrapping a Nintendo Switch. A flashing title reads, Undelivered.
