CATHRIN AND EDEN IN THE MIDDLE IN FRONT OF ALL,ALL THE CHILDREN
SING:
Jolly old Saint Nicholas,
lean your ear this way!
Don't you tell a single soul
what I'm going to say:
Christmas Eve is coming soon;

now, you dear old man

Whisper what you'll bring to me;
tell me if you can.
When the clock is striking twelve,
when I'm fast asleep
Down the chimney, broad and black,
with your pack you'll creep
All the stockings you will find
hanging in a row
Mine will be the shortest one,
you'll be sure to know
Eden wants a singing book
Catherine wants a dress
Daddy needs a brand new bed
Because he likes to rest
Now I think I'll leave to you
What to give the rest
Choose for me, dear Santa Claus;
What you think is best.
Christmas 1(Bogdan):And you said you didt bring gifts for anyone.
Eden(Alex.D):What do you mean? I didnt
Christmas 1(Bogdan):Your talent. Look how happy you made everyone.
Eden(Alex.D):Oh I guess it did. I never really thought of it that way. Singing has always been
about work and being a star except then.
Eden(Alex.D):Take me home now.
Christmas 1(Bogdan):Why? Were having so much fun
Eden(Alex.D):Now!!!
Aunt Marie(Catinca):Where is Eden???
Christmas 1(Bogdan):I didnt realize. I should have left when you told me to. I had no idea.
Eden(Alex.D):She ruined the whole Holiday. She just stood there screaming at me, at
Catherine, at her family. Oh, it was horrible. That was my last Christmas there. Aunt Marie,
never left me alone for a second after that.
Christmas 1(Bogdan):Im so sorry Eden.
Eden(Alex.D):Dont be. Aunt Marie was right. After that I concentrated on myself. And you
know what happened? I became famous.Now please,go away,I had enough of this.

Christmas 2(Alina):Thats right.
Eden(Alex.D):And everyones here to work and theyre happy. Look at them. See? Working

The future isnt like the past. Every choice you make alters what will happen next. But as for
this moment well find your most likely future in here.
Eden(Alex.D):Its so cold. None of the other ones were cold like this.
Christmas 3(Andi):This future starts with a cold choice. After making every one work, you
found out that they are late on Christmas day so you fired them all.
Eden(Alex.D):Of course I did. Thats not a cold choice, its simple consequence. I warn them
