A Flintstone Family Christmas

sniff sniff.

It's show time.

Rizz

Okay, read it to me, Barney boy.

Ah-ah-choo

kaboom.

Uh, gee, Fred. It says, "Fatso's House."

Flintstone, it's 6:30 in the morning.

Cut the lava loving racket.

Ha ha ha.

Oh, that's just the caffeine talking, Mr. Gravelberry.

It's Christmas. Try and show a little excitement.

Uh, who's Flintstone?

Merry Christmas. I'm..

Swish

thud...

screech.

Boy, oh, boy.

What's happened to everyone's Christmas spirit this year?

I don't know. It's probably the world, Fred.

Everywhere you look.

"The Bedrock savings and loanstone collapse."

Another drive by stoning last night.

Give me that, Barn. I am not gonna let a few, little problems

ruin Christmas for me and my family.

Oh, great, now, if I wanna read the news

I got to play scrabble first.

Ha ha ha

Wilma, did you ever notice how the boys turn

into over grown kids every Christmas.

Oh, Barney's forever trying to figure out what he's getting.

I know what you mean, Betty. Fred's the same way.

Look, I got him one of these new portable phones.

My specialty is call waiting.

Snore.

Do you think he'll be surprised?

Oh, I'm sure he will. He wants a pool table.

Ha ha ha

creak

Fred, Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm just called.

They're on the next flight out of Hollyrock

and should be here by 4 o'clock.

Yabba-dabba do!

You hear that, Barn?

Little Chip and Roxy are on the way.

My grandkids are gonna see me play Santa

in the Slate Corp Christmas Parade.

Just one of the perks of working

in the biggest pit in Bedrock, eh, Fred?

But we still have lots to do before they arrive.

"Buy and decorate the tree. Hang the stockings."

"Deliver these gifts to all the neighbors."

Whoa, whoa, Wilma.

We have to wait till everyone gets here.

Kids are gonna make Christmas so special.

But at least go pick up the turkeysaurus.

And some more quartz for these gift stars.

I tell you, this is gonna be the greatest Christmas ever.

Come on, Barn.

Alright, what's next, Barn?

Uh, it looks like "the A n BC market

"for Christmas crumble cake and two boxes

of turkeysaurus helper."

Make a donation for a good cause.

- What cause? - Cause I said.

Okay, give me everything you got.

Screech

Uh-uh-uh, what do we do now, Fred?

Unless that bird is bullet proof, give it to him.

Thud.

Gee, Fred, I broke Santa in half.

Yeah, well, let's get out of here

before he pulls himself together.

'Okay, folks, sorry you have to go through this'

on Christmas eve, but we got a line up.

- That's the mugger. - That's the mugger. That's him.

I'd recognize that face anywhere.

Ha ha ha

Fred, he's just a harmless child.

Yeah, well, he was a lot bigger when he robbed us.

Kid runs this Santa sting

with a partner who plays the bottom half.

'Yeah, well, then you better put out and APB on his pants.'

This is a tapestry of justice.

I want the book throw at him.

Creak.

Stella Stalactite, Bedrock Social Services.

This is Stony, a caveless kid

from the wrong side of the tar pits.

Caveless?

Oh, Fred, he's just a child.

Sure he is, ma'am.

Would you like to see his baby pictures?

Abandoned as an infant.

Stony looted his nursery as the infamous Pinky Burglar.

He's terrorized every foster home in Bedrock.

Chomp chomp

As a youngster he was impossible to place.

No matter how hard we tried, no one could get through to him.

I called the media.

He was even unwanted by Bedrocks most wanted.

Oh, I'm not that bad.

He stuck us up with a gun.

It was just a twig.

See it doesn't even have a twigger.

Stella, tell him that's a joke.

You're sure gonna have them in stiches down at juvie hall

this holiday, Stony.

Oh, Fred, it's so sad.

No one should have to spend Christmas in jail.

Maybe we could take him in.

Oh, sure and while we're at it why don't we see

if Charlie Manson-Stone wants to come for New Years.

Uh, I'm gonna be busy New Years, Fred.

What has happened to your Christmas spirit

Fred Flintstone?

I'll tell you what's happened to it.

It's sitting in some pawn shop with my watch and wallet.

That kid is not setting foot in our house.

And that's final.

Creak.

Whoa! Great places, Mrs. Flintstone. What a carpet.

Ill get some rock-nog. Barney, come give me a hand.

Why don't you make Stony feel at home, Fred.

Barney, you gotta help me.

Ha ha. Right, Fred. I'll hide the silver.

Whoa, Mr. Flintstone, nice TV. I can get you free cable.

Swish swish

click.

Alone tonight, cave man?

Turn us on. We're the All Cave Girl Network.

W-What.. Give me that. We'll watch what I say.

Click

flip flip.

Cable cruisers are a big pain in the beak.

'And now, the conclusion'

'of Frank Cap-Rocks holiday classic.'

Oh, this is my all time favorite Christmas movie.

We used to watch this every year when Pebbles was growing up.

'"It's a Wonderful Stone-Age Life."'

What's that sound, daddy?

Why that's a sound of another angel getting his wings, dear.

Gets me every time.

Oh, give me a break.

Christmas ain't that way for me.

What's that sound, daddy?

Is that another angel getting his wings?

No, sweetheart.

It's probably another orphan boy all alone on Christmas.

Get out of here, we don't wanna think about

people like you on a nice time like Christmas.

Thud

Oh, what a wonderful movie.

The only wonder is that anyone believes

all this Christmas junk.

Hey, my grandkids are on their way home

and you're not gonna put down Christmas in front of them.

Why not?

It's the same as any other day of the year only colder.

Look, as long as you're under my roof

you're gonna enjoy it whether you want too or not.

'You got that?'

What is going on out here?

Kids are supposed to like Christmas, Wilma.

- This one's defective. - Fred, Stop it.

The only way you're gonna get through to Stony

is to start treating him like a member of this family.

I say, let him spend the holiday with his own family.

The Corleone Stones. Oh!

Stony, would you help us get ready for Christmas?

- Uh, I don't care. - Good.

Now the first thing we always do

is go pick out our Christmas tree.

But, Wilma, I thought we were gonna wait

until the kids got here.

Hey, Mr. Flintstone, I know where to get a tree

at a rock bottom price. Only 20 bucks.

Come on, Fred, give Stony the money.

But, Wilma.

Fred, we have to show that we trust him.

Catch you later.

Some Christmas this is turning out to be.

Cling cling...

screech.

Uh.. Stony.

Gee, I-I don't know what to say.

That's the most beautiful pine we've ever had in this house.

Thud.

Hey, that's my tree.

'Wilma!'

Fred, the boy took back the Rubble's tree.

Doesn't that tell you anything?

Yeah, he missed Betty's China.

Oh, great. Now, what?

Swoosh
