Hot Frosty just demands a forth installment. Please enjoy my pitch for Hot Dog. 

Title:

  • Hot Dog

Tagline:

  • When the parents say no, the kids make a dog out of snow

Key characters with some ideas for casting if not already cast:

  • Holly Noel Snowman
    • Girl actor who resembles the parent actors
  • Ginger Gingerbreadman
    • Redheaded girl actor (Googling child actors was too difficult) who resembles the parent actors
  • Fritz Stahlbaum
    • Boy actor who resembles who resembles the parent actors
  • Dr. Dottie Stahlbaum (I added the last name of Stahlbaum since it's Clara's last name in The Nutcracker)
    • Already cast as Katy Mixon Greer 
  • Peter Nutcracker (I literally Googled "hot male ballet dancers")
  • Rowan Gingerbreadman
  • Nicole Singh (I added the last name of Singh based on the actress being Guyanese-Canadian)
    • Already cast as Sarah DeSouza-Coelho
  • Kathy Barrett
    • Already cast as Lacey Chabert
  • Jack Snowman
    • Already cast as Dustin Milligan
  • Sheriff Nathaniel Hunter
    • Already cast as Craig Robinson
  • Deputy Sheriff Ed Schatz
    • Already cast as Joe Lo Truglio

Synopsis:

  • Holly, Ginger, and Fritz have bonded over the years because their parents are so close and they're all close in age. Now they all have the same Christmas wish: a dog. However, after asking and asking and asking, all of the parents say no. 
  • Dejected, the kids go to the thrift store and there, the owners exchange a knowing look and bring out a dog collar with snowflakes on it for the kids. The kids say they aren't getting a dog, and the store owners tell them that they should keep it just in case.
  • The kids decide to make a dog out of snow and put the collar on it. Proud of their work, they snap a selfie with the dog and go home. Overnight, the collar turns out to be magic and the dog springs to life. The dog promptly runs around the neighborhood causing minor chaos--peeing on snowmen, ripping open Christmas delivery packages, and accidentally unplugging Christmas light displays. The series of minor complaints land on Sheriff Hunter's desk and he and Deputy Schatz are on the case.
  • The kids see that their snow dog is missing and Holly finds the dog under her porch. She quickly stashes him in her dad's toolshed and gathers Fritz and Ginger. The three decide they'll take turns taking care of the dog and hiding him--he may just be the magical answer to their Christmas wish.
  • The kids hilariously manage to hide the dog from their parents--although they leave a trail for Hunter and Schatz to follow, until Christmas Eve when Hunter and Schatz seize the dog calling the dog a stray. Seeing how upset the kids are, all of the parents say that they are the owners of the dog at the same time. Hunter is confused and asks who is the owner? Kathy explains they all are. The kids are delighted and the parents explain that they'll do a dog sharing plan. They decide to name the dog Bethlehem or Beth for short.

Additional elements to work in:
  • Stepping in dog poop

I'm angry

I'm angry. And I don't (at the moment) want to be talked out of it. I struggle, often, with expressing or even just sitting with my emotions. I feel like even the photo I chose for this post was more reserved or toned down than how I feel.  But, this is my trying. I'm not going to time this post, just going to write until I feel done, whenever that may be. In this post, I'm going to focus on the anger I feel around my dad and my dad's death. Though, don't get me wrong, I'm also angry about a lot of things going on in my city, in my country, and in the world. My dad chose alcohol over me and my brother. There is no way around this fact. Yes, when I am less angry, I can be more reasonabl and recognize that addiction is a disesase and he didn't have control over it. But, right now, I want to be angry. I want to get to be angry. I want to get to feel my feelings. I don't want to rationalize, I don't want to be reasonable, I don't want to be fair....
