Another Christmas is almost here and, like most people, | 0:02:00 | 0:02:05 | |
-I'm doing my last-minute shopping. -LAUGHTER | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
My wife, I think I'll buy her, um... | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
..a nice brand-new 1975 putter. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
To make sure she knows it's for me, I'm putting my initials on it. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:25 | |
Oh, grandchildren! Oh, yes. A lot of grandchildren. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:31 | |
We've got Terrence and Coley | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
and we have...Peter and David, | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
Melanie, | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
Ronnie, Wendy, Paige. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
-LAUGHTER -A load of them. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
They get a lot of stuff from grandparents, | 0:02:44 | 0:02:48 | |
but I'm going to buy them something special that everybody forgets. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:52 | |

You may call me...Perry, Perry. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:19 | |
All right. What can I do for you, Perry Perry? | 0:03:19 | 0:03:23 | |
Isn't it true that a few moments ago | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
you were seen walking through this department store | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
-singing Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas? -Yes. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:36 | |
Isn't it true, and I put it to you, that you are often guilty of such unsolicited singing | 0:03:36 | 0:03:42 | |
and, in point of fact, will sing your stupid songs anywhere you can? | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
-Now, just a minute... -Where were you on the night of April 21st? | 0:03:45 | 0:03:50 | |
Probably asleep. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:52 | |
Ladies and gentlemen of the department store, | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
I submit that on that evening, you were in a gas station on Route 66, | 0:03:55 | 0:04:01 | |
and were singing to the mechanic on duty | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
Have Yourself A Merry Little April 22nd. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:08 | |
-That's ridiculous. -It's not. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:10 | |
Did anyone ever tell you that your eyes have little flecks of gold | 0:04:19 | 0:04:25 | |

-As sure as you're Rich Little. -APPLAUSE | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
Either that or someone is stealing your act! | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
-What's he doing as the store detective? -Inflation, Rich. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 | |
A lot of stars are working over Christmas holidays - Jack Benny, Howard Cosell, Johnny Carson. | 0:04:56 | 0:05:02 | |
That's exciting! I'm going to see some of those people! | 0:05:02 | 0:05:05 | |
No, Rich. You're going to BE some of those people. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:08 | |

Gee! A doll is very expensive, but I'll see what I can do. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:42 | |
Hi, Santa. | 0:27:45 | 0:27:47 | |
Oh, hello, little boy. LAUGHTER | 0:27:47 | 0:27:50 | |
Ho, ho, ho! It's Santa Jack! | 0:27:50 | 0:27:54 | |
The original ol' blue eyes is back. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:58 | |
I never thought I'd see Jack Benny as Santa Claus. Never! | 0:27:59 | 0:28:03 | |
Well, I'm a changed man, Perry, | 0:28:03 | 0:28:05 | |
ever since the President told the whole country to be cheap. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:10 | |
Imagine, after these years, | 0:28:10 | 0:28:13 | |
misers are where it's at! | 0:28:13 | 0:28:16 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:28:16 | 0:28:17 | |
You're really fighting inflation, huh, Jack? | 0:28:18 | 0:28:21 | |
Well, it's given me a whole new mortgage on life. | 0:28:21 | 0:28:24 | |
And with the shortage on pennies, | 0:28:24 | 0:28:28 | |
I've even started pinching girls again. | 0:28:28 | 0:28:32 | |
You won't believe this, Perry. Try to keep a straight face. | 0:28:32 | 0:28:36 | |
You won't believe this, Perry, but on... | 0:28:36 | 0:28:39 | |
Cut that out! ..but on Christmas Eve, | 0:28:39 | 0:28:42 | |
I'm giving a bottle of perfume to every girl in the store. | 0:28:42 | 0:28:46 | |
That's unbelievable. Do you realise how many girls are in the store? | 0:28:46 | 0:28:50 | |
What's the difference? They'll still have to share the one bottle. | 0:28:50 | 0:28:55 | |

-They're cute, aren't they? -You enjoy being Santa Claus, Jack? | 0:29:14 | 0:29:19 | |
Um... | 0:29:19 | 0:29:21 | |
I love it, and you know I can hardly wait on Christmas Eve, | 0:29:21 | 0:29:26 | |
to come down the chimney | 0:29:26 | 0:29:28 | |
and wake up all those little kids - | 0:29:28 | 0:29:30 | |
and see if they wanna buy some toys. | 0:29:30 | 0:29:34 | |

APPLAUSE | 0:38:41 | 0:38:43 | |
In the excitement of buying gifts and decorating trees, | 0:38:50 | 0:38:54 | |
sometimes we're apt to forget the true meaning of Christmas. | 0:38:54 | 0:38:57 | |
So, I'd like to tell you the story that the whole world has heard now for 2,000 years. | 0:38:57 | 0:39:03 | |
It's one that we love to hear over and over again, | 0:39:03 | 0:39:07 | |
because of what it says and because it's true. | 0:39:07 | 0:39:10 | |
This story began in the days of Caesar Augustus, | 0:39:14 | 0:39:17 | |
the Emperor of Rome. | 0:39:17 | 0:39:19 | |
Caesar had proclaimed that all the people of his far-flung empire | 0:39:21 | 0:39:25 | |
should come forward and be counted. | 0:39:25 | 0:39:28 | |
Among them, there came a man and a woman. | 0:39:28 | 0:39:32 | |
His name was Joseph and her name was Mary. | 0:39:32 | 0:39:36 | |
# Weary, weary travellers | 0:39:36 | 0:39:41 | |
# Far away from home | 0:39:41 | 0:39:46 | |
# On the road to Bethlehem | 0:39:46 | 0:39:50 | |
# To heed the call from Rome. # | 0:39:50 | 0:39:57 | |
Joseph and Mary had come a long way from Nazareth. | 0:40:16 | 0:40:20 | |
The journey was tiring for they had endured countless hardships | 0:40:20 | 0:40:25 | |
as they travelled the many miles through strange towns | 0:40:25 | 0:40:29 | |
and desolate plains. | 0:40:29 | 0:40:31 | |
But it was destined that something very special would come to pass | 0:40:31 | 0:40:35 | |
in this town, this very night. | 0:40:35 | 0:40:37 | |
For this was the little town of Bethlehem. | 0:40:38 | 0:40:42 | |
# O, little town of Bethlehem | 0:40:42 | 0:40:48 | |
# How still we see thee lie | 0:40:48 | 0:40:54 | |
# Above thy deep and dreamless sleep | 0:40:55 | 0:41:01 | |
# The silent stars go by | 0:41:01 | 0:41:08 | |
# Yet, in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting light | 0:41:09 | 0:41:20 | |
# The hopes and fears of all the years | 0:41:21 | 0:41:29 | |
# Are met in thee tonight. # | 0:41:29 | 0:41:38 | |
It was getting dark when Joseph and Mary arrived at Bethlehem. | 0:41:39 | 0:41:43 | |
All the rooms at the inn were taken, so they spent the night at a stable. | 0:41:43 | 0:41:48 | |
This night, something special did happen. | 0:41:50 | 0:41:53 | |
A baby boy was born unto Mary and they called him Jesus. | 0:41:53 | 0:41:57 | |
They had no crib for the baby, | 0:42:01 | 0:42:03 | |
so Mary put little Jesus asleep in the soft, sweet hay in a manger. | 0:42:03 | 0:42:08 | |
# Come, come, come to the manger | 0:42:10 | 0:42:15 | |
# Children, see him asleep on the hay | 0:42:15 | 0:42:20 | |
# Sing, sing, chorus of angels | 0:42:20 | 0:42:25 | |
# Little Lord Jesus is born on this day. # | 0:42:25 | 0:42:34 | |
While Jesus lay asleep in the manger | 0:42:36 | 0:42:38 | |
the shepherds on the hillside near Bethlehem were tending their flock. | 0:42:38 | 0:42:43 | |
# The first Noel | 0:42:45 | 0:42:49 | |
# The angels did say | 0:42:49 | 0:42:54 | |
# Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay | 0:42:54 | 0:43:03 | |
# In fields where they lay keeping their sheep | 0:43:03 | 0:43:11 | |
# On a cold winter's night that was so deep. # | 0:43:11 | 0:43:22 | |
Suddenly, a great light shone in the sky. | 0:43:22 | 0:43:25 | |
The shepherds were frightened. | 0:43:26 | 0:43:29 | |
Even the animals were hushed and still. | 0:43:29 | 0:43:32 | |
Then they heard the voice of an angel of the Lord and they were no longer afraid. | 0:43:32 | 0:43:37 | |
For the angel brought good tidings, news of a saviour born this day, | 0:43:37 | 0:43:43 | |
news of Christ the Lord. | 0:43:43 | 0:43:45 | |
# Joyful, all ye nations rise | 0:43:47 | 0:43:51 | |
# Join the triumph of the skies | 0:43:51 | 0:43:56 | |
# With the angelic host proclaim | 0:43:56 | 0:43:59 | |
# Christ is born in Bethlehem | 0:43:59 | 0:44:03 | |
# Hark! The herald angels sing | 0:44:03 | 0:44:08 | |
# Glory to the new-born King. # | 0:44:08 | 0:44:17 | |
The angels told the shepherds they would find the Christ child lying in a manger. | 0:44:18 | 0:44:24 | |
The shepherds hurried to find the child and when they did, | 0:44:24 | 0:44:27 | |
they fell on their knees to worship him, for he was Christ the Lord. | 0:44:27 | 0:44:32 | |
# O, come, all ye faithful | 0:44:32 | 0:44:38 | |
# Joyful and triumphant | 0:44:38 | 0:44:43 | |
# O, come, ye | 0:44:43 | 0:44:46 | |
# O, come, ye to Bethlehem | 0:44:46 | 0:44:55 | |
# Come and behold him | 0:44:57 | 0:45:02 | |
# Born the King of angels | 0:45:02 | 0:45:08 | |
# O, come let us adore him | 0:45:08 | 0:45:14 | |
# O, come let us adore him | 0:45:15 | 0:45:22 | |
# O, come let us adore him | 0:45:23 | 0:45:31 | |
# Christ, the Lord. # | 0:45:31 | 0:45:38 | |
And all through the night, a bright new star shone in the heavens. | 0:45:44 | 0:45:49 | |
Far away, three men saw that shining star and used it as a guide | 0:45:49 | 0:45:53 | |
to lead them to the Christ child. | 0:45:53 | 0:45:57 | |
Who were these three men who were following the star? | 0:45:57 | 0:46:01 | |
# We three Kings of Orient are | 0:46:01 | 0:46:05 | |
# Bearing gifts, we've travelled so far | 0:46:05 | 0:46:09 | |
# Field and fountain, moor and mountain | 0:46:09 | 0:46:14 | |
# Following yonder star | 0:46:14 | 0:46:18 | |
# O, star of wonder, star of light | 0:46:18 | 0:46:24 | |
# Star with royal beauty bright | 0:46:24 | 0:46:29 | |
# Westward leading, still proceeding | 0:46:29 | 0:46:34 | |
# Guide us to thy perfect light. # | 0:46:34 | 0:46:41 | |
The new star guides them straight to Bethlehem, | 0:46:41 | 0:46:44 | |
to a little baby lying in the manger. | 0:46:44 | 0:46:47 | |
There, the three wise men present gifts to the Christ child, | 0:46:47 | 0:46:52 | |
the first Christmas gifts given to anyone. | 0:46:52 | 0:46:55 | |
A gift of gold, | 0:46:55 | 0:46:58 | |
of frankincense | 0:46:58 | 0:47:01 | |
and of myrrh. | 0:47:01 | 0:47:03 | |
And they, too, fall on their knees to worship him, | 0:47:04 | 0:47:07 | |
and a great peace settles on the night, | 0:47:07 | 0:47:11 | |
for it is a holy night. | 0:47:11 | 0:47:13 | |
# Silent night | 0:47:14 | 0:47:19 | |
# Holy night | 0:47:19 | 0:47:24 | |
# All is calm | 0:47:24 | 0:47:29 | |
# All is bright | 0:47:29 | 0:47:34 | |
# Round yon virgin, mother and child | 0:47:36 | 0:47:44 | |
# Holy infant, so tender and mild | 0:47:45 | 0:47:54 | |
# Sleep in heavenly peace | 0:47:55 | 0:48:04 | |
# Sleep in heavenly peace. # | 0:48:05 | 0:48:15 | |
This is why, when we celebrate Christmas, we think of Bethlehem, | 0:48:17 | 0:48:21 | |
we think of the virgin, Mary, | 0:48:21 | 0:48:24 | |
we think of the three wise men and the birth of the Christ child - | 0:48:24 | 0:48:29 | |
the first Christmas. | 0:48:29 | 0:48:31 | |
# O, come let us adore him | 0:48:31 | 0:48:38 | |
# Christ, the Lord. # | 0:48:38 | 0:48:47 | |
# Oh, holy night | 0:49:01 | 0:49:05 | |
# The stars are brightly shining | 0:49:05 | 0:49:11 | |
# It is the night of our dear saviour's birth | 0:49:11 | 0:49:20 | |
# Long lay the world in sin and error pining | 0:49:22 | 0:49:32 | |
# Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth | 0:49:32 | 0:49:41 | |
# A thrill of hope | 0:49:43 | 0:49:47 | |
# The weary world rejoices | 0:49:47 | 0:49:52 | |
# For yonder breaks | 0:49:52 | 0:49:57 | |
# A new and glorious morn | 0:49:57 | 0:50:02 | |
# Fall on your knees | 0:50:02 | 0:50:10 | |
# Oh, hear the angel voices | 0:50:10 | 0:50:20 | |
# Oh, night divine | 0:50:20 | 0:50:28 | |
# Oh, night when Christ was born | 0:50:29 | 0:50:37 | |
# Oh, night divine | 0:50:39 | 0:50:48 | |
# Oh, night | 0:50:48 | 0:50:52 | |
# Oh, night divine | 0:50:53 | 0:51:03 | |
# Oh, holy night | 0:51:04 | 0:51:10 | |
# Oh, night divine. # | 0:51:11 | 0:51:28 | |
From all of us to all of you, a very merry Christmas. Good night. | 0:51:29 | 0:51:33 | |
