DAD
Mmm-mmm, this turkey that you've cooked for today, Christmas Day, is lovely. Simply scrumptious!
MUM
I'm so glad you're enjoying it, darling. That's why I married you, you're always so complimentary about my cooking. What do you think, kids?
KID 1
I want to go and play with my new train set that I got today from Granddad, who's sat over there.
GRANDDAD
I fought in a war!
KID 2
I have no strong opinion about the turkey one way or the other.
DAD
That's why you're the second-born!
MUM
It's The Queen Speech in half an hour.
DAD
On the TV, you mean, not in our living room. That'd be silly.
MUM
You and your jokes. You should've been a comedian, not an insurance salesman, which is what you are.
KID 1
I want to pull a cracker, then I want dessert. I'm excited because it's Christmas!
KID 2
I'll pull a cracker with you. After all, it is tradition.
BANG!
GRANDDAD
That sounded like a gun. I fought in a war!
MUM
Put on your paper hat. Dad, you can take the little sewing kit and fix those trousers of yours.
DAD
Fix my trousers? Next, you'll be burning your bra.
MUM
Takes me back to my youth, when I was a hippie.
KID 1
So Dad, what's the true meaning of Christmas, anyway?
KID 2
Yeah, tell us, what's the true meaning of Christmas?
DAD
Well, hundreds of years ago, a baby was born.
KID 1
Was it Granddad?
MUM
Hey, cheeky! Do you kiss your mother with that mouth, by which I mean me?
GRANDDAD
My feet are cold. I can't remember if I fought in a war.
DAD
Oh, Dad!
Everyone laughs.
MUM
Come on, let's go and watch The Queen's Speech.
Everyone laughs.
KID 1
God bless us, everyone! Except Granddad.
Everyone laughs.
KID 2
Granddad?
MUM
He's dead.
DAD
Merry Christmas, everyone!
