Our prompt: Use the words "Aztec" "eggnog" and "felicity" in the context of a 1-page Christmas script.
Seeing as how I had already included a lot of eggnog talk in my most recent contest submission, I decided this would be a sequel of sorts to that short.
Here goes...
INT. LIVING ROOM - CHRISTMAS MORNING
MIKE, 27 with a burgeoning paunch, takes conservative sips of his eggnog while his brother HANK, 29, and Hank's fiance ANNA, also 29, wrestle wrapping paper from the harmless claws of GOZER, a two month-old kitten.
They are seated in a small triangle, each point fortified with a pile of gifts.
ANNA
We're going clockwise, right?
MIKE
Hank's turn! (beat) I think you'll like this one.
HANK
Hm, this looks a lot like a record.
ANNA
No way! Really?
HANK
Did you seriously find Felicity Rag on vinyl?
MIKE
Guess you'll have to open it.
ANNA
Where did you find it? I looked everywhere!
Hank gently untapes the wrapping paper from the gift.
HANK
Oh... it's a calendar... for 2013...
Hank opens the calendar.
HANK
...and it's completely blank.
MIKE
It's an Aztec calendar, get it?
HANK
Is this because I faked hypoglycemia to steal your eggnog last year?
Gozer sneezes.

I've given you an award (no eggnogg. Pop over to mine to pick it up!
You win kudos not only for hitting "Felicity" but turning it into "Felicity Rag"... that's like one of those combo wins on Scrabble.
Keep it going man. Are you jumping in on her latest contest?
