Goofy sat in a chair at home moping, he was all alone now that Max was in college. He stirred a bowl of alphabet soup in a depressed manner. "Maxy used to love alphabet soup...". A single tear rolled down his cheek as he looked at a picture of Max and him next to his alphabet soup. Soon the single tear became mournful sobs, and not only because he was going to be alone on Christmas.

Max couldn't come home to spend Christmas with him because of college which was fine. His son was gone though, he dedicated his life to Max. Every action he ever made for years was always for the benefit for Max. So now that he had gone off on his own he was a little confused with what to do with his life now. All he could do now was wait for Max to write, or call, he said he would after all.

"Don't call or write me dad, I'll do one or the other. Its, uh... ya know college! I gotta be studying but as soon as I get a break I'll talk to you first thing. So don't you worry about calling me dad, or bothering me in any way shape or form, seriously, don't do it dad."

Those were his exact words, Goofy wasn't sad about his son not talking to him. He knew Max needed his space, he was grown after all, and of course his studies came first. Goofy was just lonely was all. He wiped the tears away, snorting as he did so, he'd feel better when he heard his sons voice. Or read his hand writing, it didn't matter to him. The phone rang, Goofy rushed over to the phone excited. He whipped it up with a big smile on his face. "Maxy you finally called-"

"Maxy? No it's your boss pea brain! Where are you?!"

Goofy face palmed."Oh gorsh Mr. Harris I'm sorry, see my son is in-"

"I don't care about your personal life Goof! Just get your butt down here in five minutes or your fired!"

"Five minutes?! but I live ten minutes away and-" Mister Harris hung up leaving Goofy standing there with his phone to his ear, he dashed up the stairs with a sigh, whipping on his work clothes with his winter clothes underneath then dashed down the stairs, out the door to his car. He started up the car, it took a few minutes for it to warm up, though from the cold. As soon as he got it warmed up he sped through Pete's yard, crushing the fence on his way through.

His car bounced and shook as he turned onto the road again. Almost sliding off the road from the ice dodging other cars in his way as he swerved from lane to lane. He stopped all a sudden. traffic was backed up as far as he could see. "Well gorsh I ain't never seen traffic in Spoonerville so bad before."

He then remembered work, he checked his watch. His eye almost popped from their sockets."Oh no! I only got thirty seconds to get ta work!"

He backed up into the car behind him. "Oops sorry!" Then began driving over the cars in front of him, crushing the tops. "Oops sorry but I got work!" Finally he saw his employers building, he didn't slow down, but instead sped up. He drove straight through the wall into the building. He hopped out of the car throwing his winters clothes off and began working on making the toys.

Minutes later his boss marched in. "WHO DID THIS TO MY PRECIOUS WALL?!" Everyone pointed at Goofy. They then continued working like nothing was happening. The big man marched over to Goofy wearing scowl. "Goofy your fired!"

Goofy gasped in surprise. "Fired?! But why?!"

"Because you put a hole in the wall of my company you idiot! Now get out!"

Goofy sighed as he walked to his car, putting his winter clothes back on. His former boss glaring at him as he got in his car and drove out of the building and back home. "Ah gorsh now I need a new job." He thought a moment and finally decided that he could try getting a job at Pete's car company. "Well shucks he's bound ta gimme a job, he's my best pal after all!"

Five minutes later

"NO!" Pete then slammed the door in Goofy's face.

"Well that didn't go as I expected..." he sighed as he walked back to his home. He walked through the door and sat down on the couch, he missed Max, he had no one to go to with his problems. Not that he listened but it was still nice to force him to sit down and pretend to listen to him. And to top it off he had no job now. He sat on the couch feeling sad then, remembering he forgot to get his mail he walked to the door. "Gorsh I better go 'nd get it." He left the house and walked to the mailbox, he opened it to find a pink envelop. He opened the envelope and read the letter.

Hey goofy! I know your sad about Max going to college, you must be lonely, especially around Christmas time. So I'm inviting you to come and spend Christmas with us. Can't wait to see you Goofy!

love

Peggy Pete

Goofy felt surprise. Both by the fact that she still was under Pete's last name and that she was inviting him to her home for a visit. He walked inside thinking about whether he should go or not. Max was going to be calling him and he didn't want to miss him. It didn't take long to make his decision, he sat at the dining room table and began writing.

Dear Peg I'm flattered that ya want me ta come and spend the holidays with ya. As tempted ta do so as I am Maxie is gonna be calling me on the phone any moment. So unfortunately I can't come, I'm sorry if I'm coming off as rude but my son comes first, even when he's in college.

sincerely

Goofy Goof

He then walked outside to put the letter in the mail box. Once he had he walked back inside and sat on the couch, and started moping again. He turned on the television while he moped, and then he fell asleep on the couch moping in his sleep. Goofy awoke to the sun shining through his window.

He groaned as he rubbed his eyes and sat up. "Ugh that was a horrible night, it was a horrible day actually." He trudged into the kitchen to make a cup of coffee. While he waited for the coffee he walked to the window looking outside. He thought about Max and his childhood years. How happy he felt, how much meaning to his life he had when he Max was with him under his care. Now that he was gone- there was a knock at the front door all a sudden . Goofy walked to the front door with curiousity. He opened it and was taken aback as Peg glomped him in a big hug that was just full of affection.

Peg looked a lot different since the last time he saw her. She had short hair now and was a little slimmer too by about two sizes. She wore white snow pants and a thick pink coat with a dark red winter cap over her hair. Time was good to her though. Her face didn't look any different since he last saw her, he was able to identify her pretty easy.

"OH Goofy I'm so happy to see you~! Ahaha!"

Goofy hugged Peg back with an awkward smile. "Uh, hi Peg, not ta be rude or nothin but what are you doing here exactly?"

"Oh well I got your letter saying you couldn't make it to our home, so I decided we would come to you!"

Goofy laughed. "Hyuck, well gorsh that was mighty fast."

She hugged him again."I know your upset over Max, its a shame he can't be here for the holidays". She sighed. "I haven't been able to see Pj since the divorce, so I know how you feel". She hugged him tighter, "but don't worry we'll have so much fun this Christmas!"

Pete walked outside and stared over at Goofy's house dumbfounded, Peg glared at him in anger.

"Come on Goofy lets get inside." she said in a gruff voice, pulling Goofy by his shirt collar.
