Will walks in. "Hey, guys. What's this?"

Finn smiles. "We're trying to getinto the Christmas spirit, Mr. Schue. Christmas is totally my favorite holiday. And check out this awesome tree. I found it on the side of the road. It must have fell off some guy's car."

Will sees the ornaments. "And the ornaments?"

Santana smirks. "The guy who lives next door finally killed off his elderly mother. When they carted him off, they left the house wide open. I think she was a holiday hoarder."

Will is left speechless. "Uh - And the presents?"

Puck smirks. "I lifted them from a display at the mall. But don't worry. They're empty."

Will shakes his head. "Guys, I appreciate the effort, but this isn't what Christmas is supposed to be like."

Mercedes looks at Will. "For us it is. This tree is like a mascot for Glee Club. We won sectionals two years in a row... and according to everyone at this school, we still suck."

Mike shudders. "I'm pretty sure they just added food coloring to real slush from the parking lot."

Lauren looks unfazed. "You can eat that, you know."

Will shakes his head. "No. I am not gonna let you guys throw yourselves a pity party. Look, I'm the first one to say that things haven't turned out exactly how I would have liked them to this year. But Christmas is all about being grateful for the things that did."

Finn looks confused. "I thought that was Thanksgiving."

"And this year Glee Club is gonna lend a hand to the McKinney-Vento Homeless Children and Youth Program right here in Lima." Will says.

"How are we gonna do that?" Rachel asks.

Will smiles. "The only way we know how. By singing about it. We're gonna go classroom to classroom,caroling, to raise money for McKinney-Vento."

Tina looks scared. "Wait. Classrooms in this school with students in them?"

"Well, if there are no students in them there will be no one to put money in the collection box while we sing." Will says.

Quinn sighs. "We're gonna be killed."

Finn shakes his head. "No, guys, it's Christmas, a time for miracles. We gotta try this."

Will nods and grabs a mini Christmas tree. "Finn's right. So let's start rehearsing. This year, Glee Club's going full Santa."

The New Directions are singing "We Need a Little Christmas" in a classroom.

The teacher throws a shoe at them and they run away.

Students start screaming. "Yeah, that's right. Leave!"

Finn ushers everyone out. "Go, go, go!"

Students continue screaming. "I hate you!"

Finn is still ushering everyone out. "Go, go, go!"
