Plaid Tidings

We decided that we were going to write our own Christmas show for next year. It will include songs: Santa's Birthday, The Revenge of James, Perry Como's Wish List, and Dungas BeAro 1824, the Return of the Nervy-Turder!. We are planning on telling the story of the Devil of Christmas Past (James Mason naked with the exception of a single piece of mistletoe) and his ascent to earth. After arriving on earth with his trusty sidekick Jinx he begins to enslave Santa's elves in order to build the "Death Star". The only thing that can defeat the Death Star is tight 4 part harmony, lovingly provided by our "Lads in Plaid". At the end of act one, after the Devil of Christmas Pasts initial plans are foiled, and Hitler is sufficiently scolded for killing so many people, James falls from the rafters and swings throughout the Horse Barn Dinner Theatre while laughing and ensuring the audience that his plans have not failed, and that the celebration of Santa's birthday will yet be foiled! Act II includes a monologue by Sam (Frankie aka Dungus BeAro the Nervy-Turder). He tells of his abuses at the hand of Perry Como and his bird cage. The act ends with a fight to the death between a Naked and laughing James Mason and four part harmony. In the end James is sent screaming back into the nether regions through an exploding Christmas tree. Santa's birthday is restored and all is well.

I feel like I just had an acid flashback.

I only have one question:

How are you going to do the exploding Christmas tree?
