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.

‘'Twas the Blight Before Christmas’ Quotes
Quote from Tim
Brad: Dad, it's just one Christmas. I mean, it's not that big a deal.
Tim: Well, it is to your mom and to me and to me. I can't believe you'd be this selfish. Listen to me. Um... In a couple years, you'll be 18. You'll be off to college... or a good trade school. And we won't see you.
Brad: But, Dad, I'll come home.
Tim: Yeah, you'll come home a couple Christmases, but then you'll get married, and I'll never see you. I mean, look at your Mom and me. Your mom's family lives in Texas, mine's in Colorado. We never see our families for holidays. You just don't know how many Christmases we have together, right? I won't be around forever.
Brad: What do you mean?
Tim: Face the facts. You've seen the stunts I pull on Tool Time. I can't keep dodging the bullet.
Quote from Jill
Brad: But, Mom, I don't wanna go another time. It's gonna be great skiing conditions. A lot of kids from school are gonna be there.
Jill: Honey, I can tell this is important to you, but this family is always together at Christmas. Even that year when your father fell down the chimney, we were together. We were in the emergency room, but we were together.
Quote from Jill
Jill: Gee! I don't know, Tim. There's an awful lot of lights here. We'll have to take out a mortgage to pay the electric bill.
Brad: All right, Dad. Let her rip.
Jill: No, wait a minute. I think we should say a prayer first. Please, Lord, don't let our house blow up. Amen.
Tim: Amen.
