INT. TROTTERS' LIVING ROOM - DAY
Del Boy (DEREK) and Rodney (RODNEY) are sitting on the sofa, surrounded by Christmas decorations. A small, artificial Christmas tree stands in the corner.
DEL BOY:(excited) Rodney, this year is going to be different. I've got a feeling. Our luck is about to change!
RODNEY: (skeptical) Really, Del? You say that every year.
DEL BOY: (leaning in) But this time, Rodney, I've got a plan. A foolproof plan! (winks)
The doorbell rings. Del Boy jumps up.
DEL BOY: Ah, that must be Xmastime!
Del Boy opens the door, revealing a quirky character dressed in a tinsel-covered suit. Xmastime (XM) has a Santa hat perched on his head.
XMASTIME: (cheerfully) Ho, ho, ho! Merry Xmastime, Trotters!
DEL BOY: (grinning) Xmastime! Come in, come in! Rodney, meet Xmastime. He's the bloke who brings us luck during the festive season.
RODNEY: (raising an eyebrow) Luck? What kind of luck?
XMASTIME: (waving his hands) Oh, you know, the usual. Finding lost wallets, winning scratch cards, and stumbling upon valuable antiques. All thanks to Xmastime magic!
DEL BOY: (whispering to Rodney) And he's got connections with the big man himself—Santa Claus!
RODNEY: (sarcastic) Right. And I suppose he's here to grant us three wishes?
XMASTIME: (leaning in) Well, two wishes, actually. The third one is reserved for a deserving charity. But don't worry, lads, I've got a feeling you'll make the most of it.
DEL BOY: (rubbing his hands together) Rodney, think about it! We could wish for that elusive gold watch, or maybe a suitcase full of cash!
RODNEY: (rolling his eyes) Del, this is ridiculous. Xmastime isn't real.
XMASTIME: (leaning closer) Oh, but I am, Rodney. And I've got a special gift just for you. (pulls out a cracker) Pull this, and your wish will come true!
Rodney hesitates, then reluctantly pulls the cracker. A slip of paper falls out.
RODNEY: (reads) "Your wish: a lifetime supply of Peckham Spring Water." Seriously?
DEL BOY: (grinning) Rodney, that's brilliant! We'll sell it at the market, make a fortune!
XMASTIME: (winking) And remember, boys, Xmastime magic only works if you believe. So, keep the faith!
As Xmastime exits, Del Boy and Rodney exchange amused glances.
RODNEY: (whispering) Del, do you really think this will change our luck?
DEL BOY: (nodding) Rodney, my son, Xmastime might be a nutter, but he's our nutter. And who knows? Maybe this year, we'll finally strike gold!
They clink their glasses of Peckham Spring Water, laughing.

End scene.
