THE CHRISTMAS THAT NEVER WAS: Writing Synopsis

 THE CHRISTMAS THAT NEVER WAS



It seemed like fourth of July was just here BBQ's and fireworks...and now it's Christmas morning. As a kid it's something that everybody looks forward to, but this one was just a little off. The usual "Dancer," that dad had over as, "a guest", the dad that would always make my brother and I breakfast, he hasn't been seen in over a week. For over a week, no dad. We looked at each other, we heard some scratches and yelling that morning coming from the next door neighbors that woke us up. So there you have it, Christmas morning. We go outside to find our father parked on top of the neighbors Christmas decorations. The neighbor who just discovered the same scene was violently screaming and cursing at our father...who was still passed out inside of our car. 

                                     NEIGHBOR                                                                                                                                               You're parked on top of Santa Clause! You've ran over the reindeers! What the fuck is wrong with you? 

SCENE: Almost exactly on que dear old dad rolls down the car window with a cigarette dangling from his lips and asks "Good Ole Bob" for a light. He mumbles something like, "Happy New Year Bob." He then just rolls the window back up. And there goes Christmas. 

                                          DAD                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    (Mumbles with cigarette dangling from lips)                                                                                            Bob, good ole Bob, give me a light will ya? (Happy New Year! Dad roles window back up.)

TITLE: THE ADVENTURES OF MAX AND SPARKY

                                  Once upon a time in a small town nestled between rolling hills and lush green forests, there lived a boy named Max. Max was a quiet and imaginative child who loved spending his days exploring the world around him. But what set Max apart from the other children in town was his best friend, Sparky - an imaginary dog with a heart as big as the sky. Max and Sparky were inseparable. They would roam the fields and meadows, chasing butterflies and climbing trees. Sparky would bark at imaginary squirrels and wag his tail in excitement whenever Max would tell him a story. To Max, Sparky was more than just a figment of his imagination; he was a loyal companion who brought joy and laughter into his life. One sunny afternoon, as Max and Sparky were playing by the river, they stumbled upon a mysterious old map hidden under a pile of colorful leaves. The map promised an adventure bey...

You Never Get A Second Chance To Make A First Impression

  YOU'RE ALWAYS BEING WATCHED: Need a confidence boost? Everyone does. When you take time to make a good first impression, especially for a special event, so don’t mess it up. As soon as a person looks at you, within seconds, they’ve already judged you and your personality. We all may want to say,  “ I don’t judge others based on their looks.”  Ha! If you’re at a formal event and someone walks into a room, head hunched down, wearing a wrinkled shirt with crocks on, what’s your first impression of them? They can be the wealthiest person in the world, yet you, along with everyone in the room, have already judged that person. Even if you get to know them later and discover they are remarkable, that first impression has already been engraved inside your brain.  For example if the media has falsely reported a major event on something and the next had to redact it, on page 10, in fine print, and you’re informed it’s all lies, that first information sticks with you. The dam...
