Quote from Tim in 'Twas the Blight Before Christmas
Tim: Your mom and I specifically said you don't go skiing, and you were gonna disobey us. Brad: I wasn't disobeying you. You said I couldn't go with the Wheelers, and I'm not. Tim: Well, how are you gonna get there? Brad: Hitchhike. Tim: Hitchhike? Sit down over here. Brad: Dad, all I wanted to do was be with my friends. A lot of people I like are gonna be down there. Tim: Christmas is not about being with people you like! It's about being with your family.
