Maybe we can actually take a day off this year? [gives a slight smirk]

Merry Christmas, Clark.

You? A day off? Unheard of. And with Calendar Man; this is his time to shine, Bruce, but here's to hoping, right?

Merry Christmas to you too.

Ha ha ha. Well, I wouldn't be taking the day off if Alfred wasn't making me.

[chuckles] But yes, let's hope not.

Alfred. The only man - no being - in existence to reign you in for some time off.

I can't help but wonder, though, what you'll be doing with said off day.

I spent the day with a blonde model and a bottle of champagne.

I guess you could say I had a very merry Christmas. ;)

[drunkenly chuckles]

Well, I can't say that it's the ideal way to spend a Christmas, but if it made you happy, then I suppose that's all that matters. I imagine you're already getting primed for New Years then.

Good to hear your Christmas went well though.

I have no intentions of celebrating my New Years as Bruce Wayne, Clark. You know how Gotham gets. [sighs]

Anyway, how did you spend your Christmas?

I'd actually gotten an invitation to a New Year's party, but it's really not my thing. I won't have any plans, save for making sure nothing insane happens in Metropolis.

Just, ah, spent it back at the farm.

[Was this Kronk's long lost relative? Instead of asking, he was just going to cry happy tears.]

I NEVER KNEW I HAD A BROTHER. [Somanyemotions. Because brains, why use them?]

Ah, excuse me?

...Or maybe you're Yzma's long lost son. [Because that made sense too. When you had Kronk's brain.]

I-I'm sorry, I don't actually have any siblings, for starters, and I don't know anyone by that name.

[Just thank your lucky stars you just ran into Kronk, who was a lot stupid but otherwise harmless, and not Yzma! Santa still cared about you, Clark.]

I always wanted some! But I just have Yzma... but she's my boss. And stuff. I'm sorry buddy, I'm just confused about this whole Christmas thing!
