TNBC: Making Christmas

Surprised, Aren't You?

In Halloween Town's town square plaza, the redhead ragdoll was sewing the last white trimming of the Sandy Claws outfit.

Jack Skellington looks at himself in the full-length mirror. The skeleton ponders for a moment.

Sally was gloomy. "You don't looked like yourself, Jack." She mentioned.

Sally shook her head. "Not at all..." she said.

The skeleton smiles to himself.

Jack was happy for one good reason. The skeleton was wearing the Sandy Claws outfit. Jack wore his black boots. He wears the red coat with his black belt. Jack had a fake long white beard under his chin. "Isn't that wonderful?" He asked.

The redhead ragdoll decided not to answer.

Jack was having his moment again. "It couldn't be more wonderful!" He exclaimed.

Sally brought out Jack's portrait, flipping over the tracing paper. The redhead ragdoll shown it to him. "But you're the Pumpkin King!" She exclaims.

Jack grabbed his portrait from her. "Not anymore." He said.

The skeleton breaks his portrait in half by his right bony leg.

Jack tossed the broken picture aside. "I feel so much better now." He believes.

Sally sighs. The redhead ragdoll tried to finish up sewing the last white trimming. "Jack, I know you always think something is missing but-" she almost completed her sentence.

The skeleton moves his right bony hand too quick.

Sally accidentally pricked Jack's bony finger.

The skeleton shifts his right bony hand away. Jack was annoyed. "Ow!" He exclaimed. The skeleton had his right bony index finger in his mouth.

Sally was concerned. "I'm sorry." She apologized.

Jack was cheerful. "Sally, you're right. Something is missing." He mentions.

The redhead ragdoll was smiling at first. Sally hoped that Jack ultimately realized that he made a mistake.

When Jack looks back at the mirror, it was not what she expected.

The skeleton was frowning. "But what?" Jack inquired.

The skeleton goes over the Sandy Claws outfit. Jack was retracing things. "I got the beard...The coat...The boots...The-Oh..." he reminded.

Jack recognized the three pranksters in his reflection. The skeleton got his name called by them twice. He turned around.

Jack was confident. The skeleton walks to the three kids in the bathtub.

The whole town was curious with Lock, Shock and Barrel.

The three pranksters are mischievous. "This time, we bagged him." They said in unison.

Lock points out to Jack. "This time, we really did." Lock assured.

The black sack was twice as big as the pink Easter bunny rabbit.

Barrel sat on top of the sack. "He sure is big, Jack." Barrel mentioned.

Lock and Shock grabs the rope. She was ready. "And HEAVY." Shock mentioned too.

The two pranksters loosened the rope.

Someone pops out. He was irritated. "Let me OUT!" He shouts. The man's red hat was stuck on his face. He tries to pull it up.

The entire residents of Halloween Town gasped in awestruck.

Jack was delighted. "Sandy Claws...in person..." he whispers.
