The following is a fan adaptation of the special The Smurfs: A Christmas Carol

Story
The story starts out with Handy fixing the christmas lights on his house, he soon hears a few of his fellow smurfs singing christmas carols. It was Papa, Brainy, Smurfette, Hefty, Clumsy, Hero and Wonder.

"Smurf the halls with bounds of holly falalalalala,tis the season to be jolly" they all sang as they walked along th stoney path, Smurfette waved to Greedy as they passed his house, she noticed that Vanity had hung up some mistletoe. She ran over and gave him a kiss on the cheek before running off to join the others singing the carols. "falalalalalala" they continued to sing, as they passed Jokey who pushed down on a detonator which wrapped his house in christmas lights.

"Smurf the ancient yule tide carol, falalalalalala..." they continued to sing, until they stopped as they looked on in shock as Grouchy's house was bare, not even a single christmas decoration was placed.

"What in the blue blazes, Grouchy's house is as bare as a Smurfling's bottom" Hefty said to Papa, Papa looked on worringly, he put his carol book down on a rock beside him and ran towards the house.

"Papa...wait up" Hero shouted, as he ran after him. "Oh my" Smurfette said worringly

Papa chapped of the door, "Grouchy, what's wrong?" he asked.

Oh, you mean only being bothered by carolers, who are not even in tune by the way" Grouchy answered angrily.

"What's gotten into him?" Clumsy asked Brainy, "What do you mean?, he's always...uh...Grouchy" Brainy replied.

"Yeah but not at the holidays" Clumsy said, "Yeah, you always decorate for the holidays" Hefty added

"Um, yeah I hate decorations" Grouchy said, as he gather some firewood that was placed outside his house.

"Ok, but your still smurfing to the big party tonight right?" Hefty asked. "Every smurf helps decorate the tree" Brainy added.

"You call that puny twig a tree? hehehe count me out" Grouchy said.

"But we always decorate as a family" Wonder said, as she hugged Hero. "Yeah, and you always put the star on top of the tree" Hero added.

"They are right Grouchy, that very important task belongs to you" Papa said. "You know what?, I hate tasks, I hate stars, mistletoe, candy canes, stockings and fruitcake, I HATE CHRISTMAS" Grouchy shouted as he slammed his door which caused snow to fall onto Brainy.

"Oh and one more thing" as he immediately re-opened his door, "Hero, Wonder you two are NOT true smurfs, I suggest you smurf back to where you smurfed from" and he slammed his door again.

Wonder began crying at what Grouchy said. "Don't listen to him Wonder" Hero said sweetly, as he hugged her "Of course we are true smurfs".

"Are we true Smurfs?" she asked Papa, "Of course you are, you two are as smurfy as a smurf can smurf" Papa said kindly.

Wonder smiled and wiped away her tears. "I just don't get it" Hefty said, "How can someone hate fruitcake?, it's delicious".

"Oh Papa, you need to do something" Smurfette pleaded, "It just won't be the same, if we can't all celebrate together".

"Hmmm" Papa pondered, "I have an idea, Brainy come with me"

Papa took Brainy back to his laboratory and immediately got started on a special experiment.

"A dash of nutmeg... a touch of holly" Papa said, as he dropped the ingredients into his pot. "What exactly is this potion Papa?" Brainy asked.

"The Christmas Spirit" Papa said, "Designed to show Grouchy the true meaning of the holiday, and now the final ingredient...essence of smurf". As Papa poured the last ingredient into the pot, the potion began to bubble rapidly, it's colour got lighter and lighter and out came a blue ball of energy.

"Whoa" Brainy said excitedly, Papa chuckled as it looped around him before dashing up his chimney and out into the cold night.

The ball began searching every house in the village, but if couldn't find the right house, it soon noticed a house with no decorations whatsoever and it headed straight for it.

Inside the house, Grouchy was busy sitting in his chair, playing with a small wooden kite in the shape of a hangglider.

"falalalalalala......LAME, how do you smurf a hall anyway?" he said, as he put the small hangglider on the table and drank from the cup that was placed beside him. "Ug I hate warm smurfberry nog....hmm but I also hate being thirsty" as he took another drink.

The ball of energy squeezed through the keyhole, and slowly made it's way towards him, Grouchy began touching the glider with one finger, while muttering to himself, he caught a glimpse of the ball but it immediately disappeared from sight.

"Huh?" he said, as he began looking to see if anything was behind him, he then felt something touch his other hand, "What the..?" he said, as he immediately faced the other way. The ball then dashed into the cup and Grouchy took yet another drink.

"Hmmm" he said, as he wiped his mouth, "I suddenly feel very slee...sleep...sleepy" he muttered as he dropped his cup and headbutted the floor.
