As Ross goes back into the kitchen Jon instructs the band and Steve Augeri to play again. After a while Ross, Smitty, Neal, Jon and Steve get together and talk about old times. They began to feel like family again and once more Steve was beginning to feel like the “outside guy.” Things were getting back to normal. It wasn’t long before Gregg and Ansley joined in on the conversation. They were laughing enjoying the night when they all heard a loud noise coming from the chimney. They all look to see black smoke and dust coming from the fireplace. They then hear… “Oh my *@#?!%* belt. Why did I agree to do this *$#?//#@* thing for Jon.” Finally two feet are seen. Then everyone see’s someone crawling out backwards from the fireplace with a big sack.

JC: “Goody Goody it’s Santa!”

NS: “What is this, Jon?”

SP: “Jon what is going on?”

JC: “It’s Santa Claus. Oh, boy Santa.” Jon says while jumping up and down.

As Steve takes a closer look at Santa he realizes it is Herbie Herbert. Jon promised NO HERBIE. Seeing Herbie like that makes Steve start to laugh. Herbie never looked funnier.

HH: “HoHoHo! Merry @#$&* Christmas!”

RV: “It’s Herbie. Merry Christmas. Party mix?”

JC: “Auggghhhh! It’s not Santa Claus?”

SP: “NO JON IT’S NOT! YOU SAID NO…”

HH: “Oh if it’s not Mr. I didn’t feel like part of the @#$%&*# band. You are still coming in and out of my @#$%&*&$ life!”

NS: Okay the jokes up Herbie. Why are you here?”

HH: “I’m spreading @#$%&*&$# Christmas joy. Let’s see what I have in the @#$%&*&$@ bag for you all.”

JC: “Goody! Santa’s gonna hand out gifts.”

HH: “For Smitty a @#$%&*@ hearing aid. Maybe now he will be able to @#$%$# hear and finally talk. Jonathan the latest Danielle Steel novel and a box of @#$$%*& chocolates. Now Ross. Let me see Ross. Hooked on @#$%*&% phonics. Okay, Neal a bag of @#$%*& diapers and some @#$%&*&$ baby food. Finally for Steve, the man who has more @#$%* money than GOD! Your own @#$%&*&%$# money. He hands Steve some fake money with Steve’s picture on them. They all look at their gifts and then look at Herbie.

RV: “Hey Herbie what’s with all the chessy gifts. We were like family man. This hurts.”

JC: “I love my gift. Thanks Herbie. This book is going to be great. Creamed filled chocolates. Oh boy, I know what I’m doing tonight.”

NS: “Diapers, baby food. What is this Herbie? I’m not amused!”

Steve starts laughing and looks at Rachael who all of a sudden starts laughing too. With this Herbie GOES BALISTIC! He eats all the party mix and has a few drinks at the bar. Grabs the mic from Steve Augeri and starts to sing some really stinky Christmas songs. When Steve Augeri tries to get the mike back Herbie lands him one right in the kisser. Steve Augeri and the band storm out, leaving Herbie all alone by the fireplace. Neal see’s Steve laughing and that just set’s him right off. Neal lunges at Steve. He rips Steve’s Versaci jacket Steve socks Neal right square in the eye and Neal lands one good punch in Steve’s nose causing Steve to get a bloody nose. Jon, Ross and Smitty pull Neal off Steve. Rachael brings Steve some ice for his nose. Herbie is rolling on the floor laughing when 2 BIG women come in to get Herbie. As they pick up Herbie, he notices there tags “Wilma RN” Casa da Crazy. “Bertha RN” Casa da Crazy.

HH: No No Nooooo! I can’t go back. Please No. Jon? Steve? Guys DO SOMETHING!”

Ross, Jon, Neal, Steve and Smitty do nothing. Once again Herbie was in rare form. They are just glad that he is gone even if it meant going back to Casa da Crazy. Herbie really needed helpfinding holiday cheer. Steve turns to look at Neil who has quite a shiner on his eye.

SP: “You ripped my jacket.”

NS: “You hit me in the eye!”

SP: “My nose. I think you broke my nose.”

RV: “Isn’t family nice.”

NS, JC & SP: “Ross SHUT UP!”

RW: “Steve I don’t think your nose is broken.”

SP: “Are you sure?”

RW: “Yes I’m sure.”

SP: “I told you something always happens.”

With that Rachael whispers something in Steve’s ear. Steve then gives Rachael a funny look.

SP: “Rachael I don’t think so. No.”

RW: “Please Steve, for me.”

SP: “Ohhhhh alright. If you really think it would help. The night get any worse.”

Rachael and Steve walk over to Jon’s piano. Steve starts to play and begins to softly sing “Silent night, holy night. All is come, all is bright.” Suddenly the room becomes quiet. Everyone is listening to that voice. Rachael sits on the piano bench beside Steve and sings with him. A few moments later Gregg and Ansley come over to the piano and lend their vocals as well. Soon Ross, Smitty, Jon and Neil come over to the piano and sing along. Before long everyone is singing. Everyone then becomes silent again so that they can hear Steve finish the rest of the song. After Steve finishes the song Neil looks at Steve.

NS: “Merry Christmas Man.”

SP: “Merry Christmas Neil.”

NS & SP: “Merry Christmas everyone.”

With that Steve turns to Rachael. Gives her wink and a smile.

SP: “Thank you Rachael. Merry Christmas babe.”

RW: “Merry Christmas Steve and THANK YOU.”

Steve realizing what has just happened here leans forward and gives Rachael that unexpected gift. A warm yet tender kiss which says enough to Rachael. Steve then plays the piano again and everyone joins in for a very festive rendition of “O Holy Night.”

After getting away from the women Herbie goes back to the house, to spread more cheer.
Looking with his face pressed against the window Herbie realizes the true meaning of Christmas. Well almost. He sneaks in to plant a tape recorder which he hopes to retrieve later. Those two BIG women finally find Herbie. “You won’t get away again, not if we can help it.” They tell Herbie as they are dragging him away to the van waiting. “It‘s back to Casa for you mister. We have your room waiting.” Struggling to get away Herbie says to himself.

HH: “This could be great. MY @#$%&* Journey singing Christmas carols. I have just hit the @#*$% jackpot. Steve @#$*% Perry and Journey singing Christmas songs. $$$$ I think I’ll call the album “A Journeyful Christmas.”

Then one question creeps up in Herbie’s mind. Now that he planted the tape recorder, how will he get it back if he is in Casa da Crazy.

HH: “Aaaauuuugggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

Does Jon find the tape recorder? Will Jon listen to it while reading Danielle Steel and eating the chocolates. If he does listen to it will he tell Neil, Ross, Smitty and Steve about it? Could this mean a Journey Christmas Album? NOT IF HERBIE CAN HELP IT!
