Scene 1: It is Christmas morning and for the Smith family it was as chaotic as usual. Dad making pancakes for breakfast and spilling half the ingredients over the floor, Mum shouting on the phone and the terrible triplets fighting over the sleds in the cupboard.

Dad is bold and geeky looking with big round glasses and is very forgetful and clumsy.

Mum is Giggly and energetic with long curly hair and long shapely legs.

Danny, Dean and Darryl are the terrible triplets. They are 10yrs old and very mischievous. Danny has short spiked blonde hair, Dean has the longest blonde hair which is slightly curled like his mum and Darryl has chin length-ed hair with curtains.

Dad: Where is the cream? Where is the butter love? Have you seen the Syrup? (standing by the cooker hands full of random utensils and shouting at Mum )

Mum: Can't you see I am busy.... No I am not talking to you I am talking to...find them yourself. (shouting at dad from the hallway where she is also shouting at her mum on the phone)

Danny: Dad look ( shouting from the cupboard)

Dean: Dad look (shouting from the cupboard)

Darryl : Dad look quick (shouting from the cupboard)

Dad: What is it boys look I got breakfast so sit..... (Dad replied to the boys emerging from the kitchen with his hands full of plates and plates filled with food)

Mum: Aaaaaagh (screaming on the phone)

Danny, Dean, Darryl: Aaaaaagh (they scream from the cupboard)

Dad: Aaaaaagh (screams over evryone and at the same time throws the plates everywhere and ends up with pancakes on his head, over his face on the floor and then just stands there shocked)

Mum: Oh my God....No not you....What are you doing? (she asks Dad while correcting her Mum on the phone)Dad: I don't no...you were screaming, the boys were screaming and I screamed (stutters towards Mum while looking around himself)Danny, Dean, Darryl: I'm not hungry anyway just wanna ride the sled bye (they simultaneously shout and laugh at the end running towards the door.Dad: So what were you screaming at...what was I screaming at? (asks boys while walking back towards kitchen side to put the last plates down and washes his hands.Mum: Dot and Ted are going to be late as they have some cleaning up to do. A mouse was running around the place last night and they made a bit of a mess trying to catch it. While Ted was moving the bin a minute ago it ran out from behind it and out the front door they deafened me by screaming though. (walks in to the kitchen while talking and rather hurriedly speaks. Dipping her finger in the mess on the plate on the side)Dad: That will explain why we screamed then....never mind..boys are not hungry they are out sleding (sighs and makes his way to the lounge)Scene 2:The boys are sledding up and down the hill. There are a lot of trees and as Dean try's to peer through his hair to see where he is going he collides with Nan and Grandad at the bottom of the hill and with such force they end up in the lounge where they bump in to Dad who has the plate with the turkey on which then lands in Mums lap causing her to scream again.
