The 12 Disasters of Christmas

How are ya doing?

I'm close behind you, dad.

Alright. Don't look down.

Why don't you zip it and concentrate on your own climb.

Almost there.

Are you going to let your old man beat you to the top again.

Jacey, go to your left.

It's my birthday, I thought we were going up the face?

I'm sorry sweetheart.

Too much rain, all the rocks will be too slippery...

head to your left.

Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wanna head to your left now?

Pull me up.

You're killing your old man!

Let it go, Dad.

Not on your life.

Really?

Our little store's given us everything we have.

Gotta protect it.

I'm just saying that it's about time

somebody tried to bring this town into the 21st century.

Yeah, yeah, great.

You do realize that when the warehouse stores move in,

all the family owned shops like ours go out of business.

If there's a turn in the economy,

the rural box stores first ones to close down.

We're left with a ghost town.

I get it.

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday!

How was the climb?

Fantastic.

There was no snow up there either.

I can't remember a warmer winter.

18 sis.

Now you'll always be charged as an adult.

Hilarious.

Sheeba, quit it!

Okay, okay...

Hi Grandma.

Happy birthday my angel.

How are you?

Fine.

Did you hear from Chicago?

Yeah, my student loan got approved

but Dad won't co-sign.

I'll be in my room.

What?

Why can't she go to school in state?

You're gonna have to convince her of that.

Yeah...

What the...?

Kane's mega deal construction

contaminated the reservoir...

Jacey!

Turn on the sinks in the bathroom.

Gotta check the pipes.

Peter, go check the laundry room.

It's disgusting!

What's going on?

Jacey...

Grandma?

Listen to me, I need to give you something.

Something I should've given you a long time ago.

I've been a fool, I ignored the signs,

I didn't wanna believe.

When Grant noticed your birthmark,

I got scared but I don't want you to be afraid.

The women of our family

have handed down this ring for generations.

This might hurt a little bit.

Ahh!

Grandma, what's happening?

It's okay sweetheart, I expected this.

You're okay, just look at me.

You'll be okay.

You'll be okay.

Jacey, you okay?

What was that?

That!

What is that?

Sheeba!

It's ice.

Grant was right.

Right about what?

Listen very carefully to me.

Joseph!

Jacey is special but she can't do this by herself.

It's up to you.

Mom!

In the house!

Everybody, get in the house!

Get in, get in!!!!

Happy holidays, Joseph!

Hi Mayor.

So much for a white Christmas.

Uh, yeah...

And you know, I wanted to let you know that

unfortunately as mayor I won't be able

to join the picket line.

It's been a lotta years since the mine closed Joe,

and you know, well Kane's you know, offering new jobs

and it's kinda a tough thing to turn down.

Look Mayor...

You know me, I'm just all about what's good for the town.

Jude!

There's been an accident.

Oh... is everyone okay?

No.

Joseph... I'm very sorry about your mother.

Thanks Sheriff.

Were there any other incidents?

Well uh, this week I've had reports about dead birds

uh... red tap water but not a word about hail.

This wasn't hail Sheriff,

this was... giant shards of ice coming out of the sky.

I've never seen anything like it.

I'm... I'm sorry Joseph, if you could just sign,

I'll fill in all the details.

What do you think caused something like that?

I'm sure you'll find some way to blame it on my construction.

Now's not a good time, Kane.

Never is.

Kane... Restraining order.

I heard you were planning another little sitting.

Aaron, Kane... this is not the time.

And you think a little piece of paper's gonna stop us?

Us?

You know we grew up here too.

This is our town as much as it is yours.

Joseph, why don't you go home.

Be with your family.

You know, your father knew what it was

to run a business and serve the community.

Wish he could see the two of you now.

Always a pleasure, Joseph.

For God's sake... the man lost his mother this morning.

Don't worry, Sheeba's a smart dog.

She always finds her way back.

The water's fine now.

You okay?

Yeah.

Come here.

It's happening.

Number four.

Go, go!

Ahhhhh!!!!!!!!

Honey what is it?

What's the matter?

It's fine, I'm just gonna go to my room.

What have you got there?

I love this picture.

Me too.

Machu Picchu, Grandma said it was the trip of a lifetime.

She and Grant used to be very close.

What happened to them?

He kept telling Jacey that the world was going to end,

she was only four or five.

She was getting nightmares and he refused to stop, so...

Joseph.

Good evening Grant.

I'm sorry for your loss.

You know how much I cared for Miriam.

How are you doing?

Oh, we're holding up the best we can.

May I come in?

Oh, now's probably not the best time Grant.

Hello Mary.

Grant.

Is Jacey all right?

She'll be fine, thanks for asking.

May I speak to her, please?

Grant, thank you so much...

No, you don't understand, time is running out.

Now, where is she?

I need to speak to her.

Not right now.

Does she have the ring?

What?

Joseph...

The ice spears that you saw, they fell on the town too.

The heat wave, the falling birds and the...

the red water, they're all connected...

and there's more to come.

Tornadoes like you've never seen.

I'm talking about the fate of the world here

and Jacey has the power to stop it

because she's the chosen one.

Okay, Grant... here we go.

No, you have to believe me.

Jacey's the chosen one!

Yup.

I swear, I don't know what to do about that guy.

He's heartbroken, he loved your mom.

Give him a break.

I don't know, I guess so.

I'm gonna check on Jacey.

Jacey!

Mary?
