O, Tannenbaum

From the Ghost of Christmas Past comes a classic coversation piece from the dynamic powerhouse duo of Amber Johnson and Sarah Case. May their holiday spirit live forever in the hearts of all children, chickens, Germans, and single women the world over.

Act I:
The stage is set. The lights are dim. The candles lit. Amber begins to sing "O, Tannenbaum" in Genglish with some made-up words, hacking and spitting her way through it. Sarah stares across the table at her in bewilderment, not certain whether she should be laughing or putting her friend on meds. "What was that?" "That was 'O, Tannenbaum' in German ... I think."

Act II:
Amber: "We need to search for a tannenbaum soon."
Sarah: "I thought you weren't going to tannenbaum this year?"
Amber: "I'm not - it's for you ... Cheque, por favor?"
Sarah: "Chicken, por favor? Is that what you said?"
Amber: "CHICKEN FOR THE POOR? What??"
