| |
| − | One Year Ago

| − | STEVIE
| |
| − | Merry christmas, grandpa.
| |

| |

| |

| |
| − | Did you bring me any presents?
| |

| |

| |
| − | 'Cause it's christmas.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | GRANDPA
| |
| − | Oh.. I thought Santa Clause brought the presents at christmas. (He looks down at STEVIE)
| |
| − | You have been a good boy this year, haven't you?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | STEVIE
| |
| − | I have, I swear.

| − | INT. HOUSE; LIVINGROOM - LATER
| |

| |
| − | GRANDPA turns on the light to the tree and the camera pans out to reveal him dressed in a Santa outfit. He pulls up his beard and puts on his hat, all the while throwing glances up the stairs. He picks up a christmas item decorated with bells and he jingles it to get STEVIE's attention.

| |
| − | STEVIE walking down the stairs, his eyes to the livingroom and mouth open, clearly in a state of "wow". He stops in the middle of the stairs, sits down and starts looking through the banister at Santa Clause in his livingroom.

| − | INT. LIVINGROOM
| |

| |
| − | GRANDPA looks puzzled and not as happy as little STEVIE. He bends back down to continue to rummage through his sack when we hear loud, heavy steps on the ceiling. GRANDPA stands up again, looking around, and then he goes back to the sack. Suddenly old pieces of fire starts falling down into the now empty fireplace. GRANDPA looks at it, puzzled. He puts down the sack and moves over to the fireplace. We can hear breathing coming from it. GRANDPA gets down on his knees and starts examining the fireplace to see what's going on.

| |
| − | CUT TO: FIREPLACE
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Everything is completely silent, then suddenly a par of hands, covered in blood, comes down. They grab GRANDPA by his neck and starts pulling him up, and we hear crunchy noises as his body breaks as he's pulled up. He screams and kicks his legs but the hands doesn't let go. All the while STEVIE continues to watch from the stairs. When GRANDPA is pulled completely up the chimney, STEVIE frowns, wondering what's going on.

| |
| − | STEVIE
| |
| − | Santa?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | We hear a sound that can only described a body part being pulled free with violence from the rest of the body. Then GRANDPA's Santa boot falls down and lands outside the fireplace, bloody.
