Ned - Happy Marge, my beautiful fiancée! Ready to jet off to the Bahamas for a snowless, un-Christmas-y holiday?
Homer - Surprised Whoa, whoa, whoa. You're marrying Flanders in this story?!

Marge - Sad But I must return to my hometown to help my mother run the family Christmas tree farm for the next few weeks.
Ned - Sad Won't you be miserable, surrounded by all that snow and Christmas cheer?
Marge - Sad Don't worry. I'm sure I won't rediscover the magic of Christmas. Or fall back in love with the man I was always meant to be with.
Ned - Confused Uh, who said anything about another man?

Marge Mom, I'm home!
Homer - Guilty *wakes up* Marge! What a surprise to see you here!
Marge - Surprised Have you been sleeping on my parents' couch since I left seven years ago?
Homer - Cautious No! Sometimes I cry myself to sleep in ditches and storm drains. Anyway, I work at your family's Christmas tree farm now.
Marge - Sad Homer, I'm truly sorry I had to pursue my dream of being an executive in publishing, or advertising, or whatever it is.
Homer - Cautious But now you've returned to run the family business?
Marge - Sad No. In order to run a Christmas tree farm, you have to believe in the power of Christmas. Otherwise the accounting is impossible.
Homer - Sad True. You can't manage the books without childlike innocence. That's just business reality.

Mrs. Bouvier - Annoyed What do you even do? You've never bothered to tell me!
Marge - Angry Isn't it enough to know that it stresses me out, and I think that makes me happy, but it's actually killing me inside?!

Marge - Sad Homer, seeing you reminds me of when I was young and carefree and full of hope. And I don't like that!
Marge - Nervous ...is what I'm telling myself.
Homer - Sad I'll just move some Christmas trees around, so you can notice what all this physical labor has done for my muscles.
Homer - Happy Hey, remember how much we used to love hanging Christmas lights?
Marge - Annoyed I guess a scene of us having fun together despite my reservations could be useful, story-wise...

Ned - Happy Hello, Marge!
Marge - Surprised My beloved Flanders! It's a Christmas miracle! *embraces him dramatically*
Ned - Shocked *pushes her away * "Christmas miracle"? Try to be practical and dour, won't you?
Marge - Nervous I'm trying, Flanders my dear. Nothing scares me more than the prospect of rediscovering my true self and daring to love Christmas.
Ned - Angry I swear to you, I will NOT let that happen!
Marge - Happy Oh, Flanders! Thank God you're here with me, instead of my true love!
Ned - Worried Uh...

Ned - Angry No! Christmas is a silly, frivolous holiday. And if you don't know that, then maybe we shouldn't be together!
Ned - Angry Now I will wildly overreact to this -- in a way no actual person ever would -- and storm out! *storms out*
The Ghost of Christmas Past Marge! It is I, the Ghost of Christmas Past! You cannot marry that man!
