Chapter 4: A little Christmas Medley
Benny's sitting outside in his Range Rover, listening to Christmas music, he didn't have anyone to celebrate Christmas with so he decided to ask the bohos if he can spend the holidays with them. Snow began to blow beautifully through streets as kids played in the streets and elders tried to get in their homes. Before Benny, turned the car off his favorite Christmas song came on the radio.
Benny
Oh the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
In the loft, Mark, Roger, and Mimi are in the kitchen baking cookies and brownies. Mark hums a little song.
"Is that Mark humming a Christmas song?" Mimi asked.
"I declare!" Roger said in a fake southern accent.
The couple laughed.
Mark
It's the most wonderful time of the year.
With the kids jingle belling,
and everyone telling you,
"Be of good cheer,"
It's the most wonderful time of the year.
Benny (coming up the stairs)
It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I've bought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
Mark and Roger
There'll be parties for hosting,
marshmallows for toasting and
caroling out in the snow.
there'll be scary ghost stories and
tales of the glories of Christmases
long, long ago.
Benny (at the door)
When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But if you'll really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
Before Benny can even knock on the door, a voice stops him in his tracks.
"Seriously, Benny? You are going to harass us on Christmas!"
"Hi, Maureen. …I'm not here for rent…"
"Bullshit!" Maureen said pushing the landlord out of the way to knock on the door.
"Honeybear….be nice….it's Christmas…." Joanne said calm and carelessly as she brush passed Benny as well.
Mimi opened the door greeting Maureen and Joanne with hugs and kisses.
"Merry Christmas!"
"Fleece Nevada!" Maureen said cheerfully.
"Fleece Nevada?" Everyone asked.
"You know what I mean!" Maureen said, as she walked to the kitchen.
Mimi went to close the door, but quickly realized Benny standing there.
"hi.." Benny said in a shy tone.
"Hola….what are you doing here?"
Benny attempted to answer but was interrupted by Roger. "We're giving you your rent next week, ok?"
"Roger, I'm not asking for rent…I took care of it… you won't have to pay rent for the next 13 months…"
"Are you serious?" asked Mimi.
"Yes."
"Come inside." Roger said quickly changing his attitude.
The rocker ever had a smile to let Benny know he wasn't going to kill him. Maureen, Joanne and Mark sat in the kitchen speechless.
"I'm sorry to just show up unannounced….but I have no one to spend Christmas with and I thought I'd try spending with people who used to be my friends and family…." Benny said with a warm smile.
It had been years since Mark, Roger, and Maureen had seen this side of their old roommate. His actions gave them faith in Christmas miracles. They had heard around the Village that Benny and his wife had divorced early in the year and knew that he had been kind of a loner for a while, but didn't know that he was this lonely.
"Benny, you're welcomed here anytime…as long as you don't kick us out on the streets." Mark said with a laugh.
"Thank you."
"I don't know what's wrong with me…but I want to have a group hug." Maureen said as she ate from the bowel of cookie dough.
Everyone stared at the diva with surprised looks on their faces.
"oh what the hell…it's Christmas!" Roger said before grapping Benny into a hug,
They all got together in a big group hug. Collins and Angel burst through the door
"MERRY CHRISTMAS BIT-whoa…what's going on here.." Collins froze.
"Is that Benny in the middle of a big group hug?" Angel asked.
"Hey, guys.." Benny said with a smile.
"This is already a unforgettable Christmas!" Angel said as she joined the group hug.
Angel
Hang all the mistletoe
I'm gonna get to know you better, yeah
This Christmas
Collins
And as we trim the tree
How much fun it's gonna be together, yeah ha
This Christmas
Mimi
Fireside is blazing bright
Joanne

Everyone
And this Christmas, will be yeah
A very special Christmas, for me yeah
Roger
Presents and cards are here
My world is filled with cheer and you, ohh yeah

Your eyes outshine the town, they do
This Christmas
Benny
Fireside is blazing bright
Joanne

They broke away from their hug and began dancing around the loft together.
Joanne
Candles burnin' low,
Lot's of mistle toe.
Lot'sof snow and ice,
Eveywhere we go.
Choirs singin' carols,
Right outside my door.
All these things and more
Everyone
(All these things and more)
Joanne
That's what Christmas means to me my love
Everyone
(That's what Christmas means to me my love)
Mimi
And ya know what I mean
I see your smilin' face
Like I never seen before
Even though I love ya madly
It seems I love you more
And little cards you give me
Will touch my heart for sure
All these things and more, darling
Everyone
(All these things and more)
Mimi
Whoah!
That's what Christmas means to me my love
Everyone
(That's what Christmas means to me my love)
Collins
I feel like runnin' wild
As eaches and a little child
Greet you neath the mistle toe
Kiss you once and then some more
And wish you a Merry Christmas baby
And such happiness in the comin' year
Oh baby
Mark
Let's deck the halls with holly
Sing sweet silent night
Fill a sheet with angel hair
And pretty, pretty lights
Go to seep and wake up
Just before daylight
Everyone
All these things and more, baby
That's what Christmas means to me my love
"Simply having a wonderful Christmas time…." Mark sang to himself as he pulled out his camera.
The filmmaker had found his muse and was ready to start filming.
The bohos spent the rest of Christmas partying, opening presents, and enjoying each other's company.
