Shrek The Halls

Now I’m not much of a fanatic with Shrek, but when I saw the Christmas Tv Special “Shrek The Halls”, I had almost died of laughter. It was that funny. I mean look at Donkey, as excited as he was, he counted down the days, since summer till Christmas day, and when it finally came, he practically exploded with excitement laughing and singing the holiday songs. I figured that maybe Donkey drank too much eggnog.
And poor Shrek didn’t know what Christmas was, and his wife Fiona and the Oger babies were all excited about celebrating their first Christmas as a family. So Shrek ran clear across the country, climbed the steepest and tallest mountains in the frigid snow and ice to get to the nearest book store to get a book to teach him all about Christmas. It was one of those Christmas for village idiots books.” Then when he got back, he tried to decorate his house by using a toilet seat as the Christmas wreath, as well as old tin cans and junk. Then the funny part was when Donkey came into the scene to give Shrek a Christmas card he made himself. That card was hilarious seeing Donkey dressed as Santa Clause with is great big smile.
So As Shrek was trying to explain to Donkey that he wanted to be alone with his family to celebrate Christmas, Donkey then invites everyone from the fairy tales to Shrek’s house for a festive Christmas party. Although Donkey said that all the storybook characters were family, Shrek got a little steamed, for his house was extremely crowded and loud and noisy. The next funny thing was when Donkey had told everyone his version of the Christmas story. Everything was exaggerated and blown up to extreme in decorations, fantasy, and fun. And it was the most funniest story I heard. Giant egg nog fountains, a parade with giant animated floats of Donkey and Shrek, tap dancing turkeys, and even a giant Santa made entirely of waffles covered in butter, syrup, and swanked by a choir singing it’s praises. Whenever I hear that story, I burst out laughing. Then the gingerbread man tells his horror story about his date to the movies with his gingerbread girlfriend going to pieces, as a giant santa clause comes into the scene and grabs the girl and eats her, leaving the gingerbread man broken hearted. Then things get really out of hand and Shrek finally kicks everyone out of his home to be alone, even his wife Fiona took the babies and left. After a moment of being alone, he goes out to the group and tries to explain that he didn’t know the meaning of Christmas, since Ogers don’t celebrate anything, and he didn’t know what Christmas is. Then Donkey throws a snow ball at Shrek, and everyone else throws snowballs at Shrek getting him good. Then suddenly Donkey has a bunch of snow dumped ontop of him buring him. Turns out that it was his girlfriend the dragon who shook the branches of snow and felt proud of her accomplishment.
So in the end, everyone got settled into Shrek’s house, and Shrek tells his babies the Christmas story in his own words. The swamp rats didn’t creep, as mom and babes Kazooed in their sleep (farted) Oger Clause came to the scene and gave the oger babies bottles of stinky swamp juice, and then he gave the mother the goose. ( and told her how to cook it.) And then he gave off a loud burp to transform the place and stuck a finger up his nose and went up the chimney and calimed. “Smelly Christmas to all and to all a gross night.” If that isn’t a funny Christmas special I don’t know what is. I got the DVD for myself, but beforehand, I bought a copy of the movie and then gave it to my sister for her husband and kids to view as a Christmas gift, which wasn’t easy, since it was such a funny movie.
