Papa, Smurfette, Brainy, Clumsy, Hefty and Vexy walked through Smurf Village while singing

All: Smurf the halls with
boughs of holly! Fa la la
la la la la! Tis the season
to be jolly fa la la la la la
la la la! Don we now our
white apparel fa la la la
la la la la la! Smurf the
ancient Yuletide carol fa
la la la la la la-

They all passed by Grouchy's house but it wasn't even decorated

Brainy: What in the blue blazes?

Hefty: Grouchy's house is as bare as a Smurling's bottom!

Vexy: Let me talk to him

She knocked on Grouchy's door

Vexy: Hey Grouchy you ready for Christmas?

Vexy could hear Grouchy from inside

Grouchy: No! I'm being bothered by carolers who aren't even in tune by the way!

Clumsy: What's gotten into him?

Brainy: What do you mean? He's always... Uh... Grouchy

Clumsy: Yeah but not at the holiday's

Vexy: It's me and Hackus's first Christmas here! Don't you want to help us decorate?

Grouchy left his house but only to get wood

Grouchy: Uh I hate decorations remember?

Hefty: Okay nut you're still coming to the big party tonight right?

Brainy: Every Smurf helps decorate the tree

Grouchy: You call that puny twig a tree? Count me out.

Smurfette: But we always decorate as a family!

Smurfette wrapped her arm around Vexy who smiled slightly

Clumsy: Yeah and you always put the star on top of the tree!

Papa: He's right, Grouchy. That very Important task belongs to you.

Grouchy: Get Vexy or Hackus to do it!

Vexy: I'm putting up the lights and Hackus is taste testing the food.

She remembered Hackus eating everything that Chef prepared

Vexy: Kinda... Anyway the star is your job

Grouchy: You know what?! I hate jobs, I hate tasks, I hate stars, mistletoe...

Vexy hid the mistletoe she was holding behind her back

Grouchy: Candy canes, stockings, and fruitcake! I hate Christmas!!

He went back inside and slammed the door

Vexy: Smurfette, you told me he liked Christmas

Smurfette: Well he used to...

She looked at Papa

Smurfette: Oh Papa, you need to do something. It just won't be the same if we can't all celebrate together.

Papa: Hmm... I have an idea

Later Papa and Vexy went back to his mushroom as Vexy watched him make a potion

Vexy: What are you making, Papa?

Papa: The Christmas spirit. Designed to show him the true meaning of the holiday. For my last ingredient I'll need a small gift that came from the heart

Vexy held her mistletoe

Vexy: You promise this will help him?

Papa: I promise
