Another Christmas is almost here and, like most people,

0:02:000:02:05

-I'm doing my last-minute shopping.

-LAUGHTER

0:02:050:02:08

My wife, I think I'll buy her, um...

0:02:090:02:13

..a nice brand-new 1975 putter.

0:02:140:02:17

LAUGHTER

0:02:170:02:19

To make sure she knows it's for me, I'm putting my initials on it.

0:02:200:02:25

Oh, grandchildren! Oh, yes. A lot of grandchildren.

0:02:270:02:31

We've got Terrence and Coley

0:02:310:02:34

and we have...Peter and David,

0:02:340:02:37

Melanie,

0:02:370:02:39

Ronnie, Wendy, Paige.

0:02:390:02:42

-LAUGHTER

-A load of them.

0:02:420:02:44

They get a lot of stuff from grandparents,

0:02:440:02:48

but I'm going to buy them something special that everybody forgets.

0:02:480:02:52

-Batteries.

-LAUGHTER

0:02:520:02:54

They don't call me foxy old Grandpa for nothing.

0:02:560:02:59

APPLAUSE

0:03:010:03:03

Excuse me.

0:03:050:03:07

I'm Perry Mason, the store detective.

0:03:070:03:11

-LAUGHTER

-What can I do for you, Mr Mason?

0:03:110:03:14

You may call me...Perry, Perry.

0:03:150:03:19

All right. What can I do for you, Perry Perry?

0:03:190:03:23

Isn't it true that a few moments ago

0:03:260:03:29

you were seen walking through this department store

0:03:290:03:32

-singing Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas?

-Yes.

0:03:320:03:36

Isn't it true, and I put it to you, that you are often guilty of such unsolicited singing

0:03:360:03:42

and, in point of fact, will sing your stupid songs anywhere you can?

0:03:420:03:45

-Now, just a minute...

-Where were you on the night of April 21st?

0:03:450:03:50

Probably asleep.

0:03:510:03:52

Ladies and gentlemen of the department store,

0:03:520:03:55

I submit that on that evening, you were in a gas station on Route 66,

0:03:550:04:01

and were singing to the mechanic on duty

0:04:010:04:04

Have Yourself A Merry Little April 22nd.

0:04:040:04:08

-That's ridiculous.

-It's not.

0:04:080:04:10

Did anyone ever tell you that your eyes have little flecks of gold

0:04:190:04:25

when you're angry? LAUGHTER

0:04:250:04:28

Cabbie!

0:04:300:04:32

0:04:340:04:36

APPLAUSE

0:04:360:04:38

Hey, sir. Was that Raymond Burr?

0:04:420:04:45

-As sure as you're Rich Little.

-APPLAUSE

0:04:450:04:48

Either that or someone is stealing your act!

0:04:500:04:53

-What's he doing as the store detective?

-Inflation, Rich.

0:04:530:04:56

A lot of stars are working over Christmas holidays - Jack Benny, Howard Cosell, Johnny Carson.

0:04:560:05:02

That's exciting! I'm going to see some of those people!

0:05:020:05:05

No, Rich. You're going to BE some of those people.

0:05:050:05:08

OK, Pal. Give me a little crafty music!

0:05:080:05:11

0:08:520:08:54

Attention, shoppers. This is Howard Cosell.

0:08:580:09:02

Today's special is cut-rate golf balls on the second floor.

0:09:020:09:06

Pardon me. I'd like to buy a pair of skates.

0:09:060:09:09

Just who do you think you are?

0:09:090:09:12

-I'm Peggy Fleming.

-APPLAUSE

0:09:120:09:15

So, you're Peggy Fleming and still you want to buy a pair of skates?

0:09:200:09:25

Regardless of the fact that since you were three-times World Champion,

0:09:250:09:29

star of countless TV specials,

0:09:290:09:32

Olympic gold medal winner and, up until a few weeks ago, had your own concert on ice,

0:09:320:09:38

you haven't had one single solitary triumph.

0:09:380:09:42

LAUGHTER

0:09:420:09:44

I'm sorry, Howard.

0:09:440:09:46

I realise now that I'm exactly like you.

0:09:460:09:50

-Just another pretty face.

-LAUGHTER

0:09:500:09:53

At least the kid is honest.

0:09:530:09:56

-Is this clown bothering you, Peggy?

-Yes, every Monday night.

0:09:580:10:03

I take it back.

0:10:040:10:06

Well, well, well! If it isn't Perry Como!

0:10:060:10:10

First a soubrette on skates and now a singer on the skates.

0:10:100:10:16

-How can we get rid of him, Perry?

-Watch.

0:10:160:10:19

Look, Howard. Somebody's returning your book.

0:10:190:10:22

What? Why? Of all the flagrant proflidity...!

0:10:220:10:27

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:10:270:10:30

-What did he say?

-Only his hairdresser knows for sure.

0:10:300:10:34

-I hope he didn't make you lose your Christmas spirit, Peg.

-Nothing can do that.

-Good.

Gee, it's getting late. I'd better get my skates.

Perry, how would you like to buy one of my Johnny Carson suits?

My company has just been named fashion consultant

0:14:530:14:57

to Chico And The Man! LAUGHTER

0:14:570:15:00

By the way, I just heard that ABC

0:15:010:15:04

has come up with the perfect answer to that show.

0:15:040:15:07

It's called Harpo And The Cissy! LAUGHTER

0:15:070:15:11

May the NBC peacock stick its beak in your CBS eye!

0:15:130:15:18

-Are you going to let him talk to you that way, Perry?

-Certainly not.

0:15:180:15:23

-This is a job for GTE. GTE?

-What-what does that mean?

0:15:230:15:27

Well, at Christmas time, GTE means "greetings to everybody".

0:15:270:15:32

-But in my contract, it means "general, telephone and electronics".

-Oh!

0:15:320:15:37

-Ha ha ha ha!

-We'll be right back, folks.

0:15:570:16:02

I danced to one of your records on my first day!

0:16:020:16:07

I just can't think of your name.

0:16:080:16:11

-Perry. Perry Como.

-Perry Como? Oh, my goodness!

0:16:110:16:17

Are you still alive? LAUGHTER

0:16:170:16:21

-I admit it's hard to tell sometimes, but I think so.

-Oh!

0:16:220:16:26

He's just as funny off as he is on!

0:16:260:16:31

Yeah, the last of the great clowns, that's me.

0:16:320:16:36

Oh, I wish Archie could have been here.

0:16:360:16:39

We could talk about old times,

0:16:390:16:41

and you could talk about the first Christmas, like you used to on TV.

0:16:410:16:48

A real eye-witness report.

0:16:480:16:51

-LAUGHTER

-It was a little before my time.

0:16:510:16:54

Oh, you show business people!

0:16:540:16:57

So sensitive about your age!

0:16:570:17:00

No, not me. I'm still going like 60.

0:17:000:17:04

No kidding?

0:17:040:17:06

60! LAUGHTER

0:17:060:17:09

0:27:290:27:31

Gee! A doll is very expensive, but I'll see what I can do.

Hi, Santa.

0:27:450:27:47

Oh, hello, little boy. LAUGHTER

0:27:470:27:50

Ho, ho, ho! It's Santa Jack!

0:27:500:27:54

The original ol' blue eyes is back.

0:27:540:27:58

I never thought I'd see Jack Benny as Santa Claus. Never!

0:27:590:28:03

Well, I'm a changed man, Perry,

0:28:030:28:05

ever since the President told the whole country to be cheap.

0:28:050:28:10

Imagine, after these years,

0:28:100:28:13

misers are where it's at!

0:28:130:28:16

LAUGHTER

0:28:160:28:17

You're really fighting inflation, huh, Jack?

0:28:180:28:21

Well, it's given me a whole new mortgage on life.

0:28:210:28:24

And with the shortage on pennies,

0:28:240:28:28

I've even started pinching girls again.

0:28:280:28:32

You won't believe this, Perry. Try to keep a straight face.

0:28:320:28:36

You won't believe this, Perry, but on...

0:28:360:28:39

Cut that out! ..but on Christmas Eve,

0:28:390:28:42

I'm giving a bottle of perfume to every girl in the store.

0:28:420:28:46

That's unbelievable. Do you realise how many girls are in the store?

0:28:460:28:50

What's the difference? They'll still have to share the one bottle.

0:28:500:28:55

LAUGHTER

0:28:550:28:57

0:29:010:29:03

Perry, they've got the cutest new record out and it's all about me.

0:29:050:29:11

-Why don't you go and sing it, kids?

-Anything for you, Santa.

0:29:110:29:14

-They're cute, aren't they?

-You enjoy being Santa Claus, Jack?

0:29:140:29:19

Um...

0:29:190:29:21

I love it, and you know I can hardly wait on Christmas Eve,

0:29:210:29:26

to come down the chimney

0:29:260:29:28

and wake up all those little kids -

0:29:280:29:30

and see if they wanna buy some toys.

0:29:300:29:34

BUY some toys?

0:29:340:29:36

That's right - buy some toys. LAUGHTER

# We've only just begun

0:38:330:38:39

Oooh. #

0:38:350:38:39

APPLAUSE

0:38:410:38:43

In the excitement of buying gifts and decorating trees,

0:38:500:38:54

sometimes we're apt to forget the true meaning of Christmas.

0:38:540:38:57

So, I'd like to tell you the story that the whole world has heard now for 2,000 years.

0:38:570:39:03

It's one that we love to hear over and over again,

0:39:030:39:07

because of what it says and because it's true.

0:39:070:39:10

This story began in the days of Caesar Augustus,

0:39:140:39:17

the Emperor of Rome.

0:39:170:39:19

Caesar had proclaimed that all the people of his far-flung empire

0:39:210:39:25

should come forward and be counted.

0:39:250:39:28

Among them, there came a man and a woman.

0:39:280:39:32

His name was Joseph and her name was Mary.

0:39:320:39:36

# Weary, weary travellers

0:39:360:39:41

# Far away from home

0:39:410:39:46

# On the road to Bethlehem

0:39:460:39:50

# To heed the call from Rome. #

0:39:500:39:57

Joseph and Mary had come a long way from Nazareth.

0:40:160:40:20

The journey was tiring for they had endured countless hardships

0:40:200:40:25

as they travelled the many miles through strange towns

0:40:250:40:29

and desolate plains.

0:40:290:40:31

But it was destined that something very special would come to pass

0:40:310:40:35

in this town, this very night.

0:40:350:40:37

For this was the little town of Bethlehem.

0:40:380:40:42

# O, little town of Bethlehem

0:40:420:40:48

# How still we see thee lie

0:40:480:40:54

# Above thy deep and dreamless sleep

0:40:550:41:01

# The silent stars go by

0:41:010:41:08

# Yet, in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting light

0:41:090:41:20

# The hopes and fears of all the years

0:41:210:41:29

# Are met in thee tonight. #

0:41:290:41:38

It was getting dark when Joseph and Mary arrived at Bethlehem.

0:41:390:41:43

All the rooms at the inn were taken, so they spent the night at a stable.

0:41:430:41:48

This night, something special did happen.

0:41:500:41:53

A baby boy was born unto Mary and they called him Jesus.

0:41:530:41:57

They had no crib for the baby,

0:42:010:42:03

so Mary put little Jesus asleep in the soft, sweet hay in a manger.

0:42:030:42:08

# Come, come, come to the manger

0:42:100:42:15

# Children, see him asleep on the hay

0:42:150:42:20

# Sing, sing, chorus of angels

0:42:200:42:25

# Little Lord Jesus is born on this day. #

0:42:250:42:34

While Jesus lay asleep in the manger

0:42:360:42:38

the shepherds on the hillside near Bethlehem were tending their flock.

0:42:380:42:43

# The first Noel

0:42:450:42:49

# The angels did say

0:42:490:42:54

# Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay

0:42:540:43:03

# In fields where they lay keeping their sheep

0:43:030:43:11

# On a cold winter's night that was so deep. #

0:43:110:43:22

Suddenly, a great light shone in the sky.

0:43:220:43:25

The shepherds were frightened.

0:43:260:43:29

Even the animals were hushed and still.

0:43:290:43:32

Then they heard the voice of an angel of the Lord and they were no longer afraid.

0:43:320:43:37

For the angel brought good tidings, news of a saviour born this day,

0:43:370:43:43

news of Christ the Lord.

0:43:430:43:45

# Joyful, all ye nations rise

0:43:470:43:51

# Join the triumph of the skies

0:43:510:43:56

# With the angelic host proclaim

0:43:560:43:59

# Christ is born in Bethlehem

0:43:590:44:03

# Hark! The herald angels sing

0:44:030:44:08

# Glory to the new-born King. #

0:44:080:44:17

The angels told the shepherds they would find the Christ child lying in a manger.

0:44:180:44:24

The shepherds hurried to find the child and when they did,

0:44:240:44:27

they fell on their knees to worship him, for he was Christ the Lord.

0:44:270:44:32

# O, come, all ye faithful

0:44:320:44:38

# Joyful and triumphant

0:44:380:44:43

# O, come, ye

0:44:430:44:46

# O, come, ye to Bethlehem

0:44:460:44:55

# Come and behold him

0:44:570:45:02

# Born the King of angels

0:45:020:45:08

# O, come let us adore him

0:45:080:45:14

# O, come let us adore him

0:45:150:45:22

# O, come let us adore him

0:45:230:45:31

# Christ, the Lord. #

0:45:310:45:38

And all through the night, a bright new star shone in the heavens.

0:45:440:45:49

Far away, three men saw that shining star and used it as a guide

0:45:490:45:53

to lead them to the Christ child.

0:45:530:45:57

Who were these three men who were following the star?

0:45:570:46:01

# We three Kings of Orient are

0:46:010:46:05

# Bearing gifts, we've travelled so far

0:46:050:46:09

# Field and fountain, moor and mountain

0:46:090:46:14

# Following yonder star

0:46:140:46:18

# O, star of wonder, star of light

0:46:180:46:24

# Star with royal beauty bright

0:46:240:46:29

# Westward leading, still proceeding

0:46:290:46:34

# Guide us to thy perfect light. #

0:46:340:46:41

The new star guides them straight to Bethlehem,

0:46:410:46:44

to a little baby lying in the manger.

0:46:440:46:47

There, the three wise men present gifts to the Christ child,

0:46:470:46:52

the first Christmas gifts given to anyone.

0:46:520:46:55

A gift of gold,

0:46:550:46:58

of frankincense

0:46:580:47:01

and of myrrh.

0:47:010:47:03

And they, too, fall on their knees to worship him,

0:47:040:47:07

and a great peace settles on the night,

0:47:070:47:11

for it is a holy night.

0:47:110:47:13

# Silent night

0:47:140:47:19

# Holy night

0:47:190:47:24

# All is calm

0:47:240:47:29

# All is bright

0:47:290:47:34

# Round yon virgin, mother and child

0:47:360:47:44

# Holy infant, so tender and mild

0:47:450:47:54

# Sleep in heavenly peace

0:47:550:48:04

# Sleep in heavenly peace. #

0:48:050:48:15

This is why, when we celebrate Christmas, we think of Bethlehem,

0:48:170:48:21

we think of the virgin, Mary,

0:48:210:48:24

we think of the three wise men and the birth of the Christ child -

0:48:240:48:29

the first Christmas.

0:48:290:48:31

# O, come let us adore him

0:48:310:48:38

# Christ, the Lord. #

0:48:380:48:47

# Oh, holy night

0:49:010:49:05

# The stars are brightly shining

0:49:050:49:11

# It is the night of our dear saviour's birth

0:49:110:49:20

# Long lay the world in sin and error pining

0:49:220:49:32

# Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth

0:49:320:49:41

# A thrill of hope

0:49:430:49:47

# The weary world rejoices

0:49:470:49:52

# For yonder breaks

0:49:520:49:57

# A new and glorious morn

0:49:570:50:02

# Fall on your knees

0:50:020:50:10

# Oh, hear the angel voices

0:50:100:50:20

# Oh, night divine

0:50:200:50:28

# Oh, night when Christ was born

0:50:290:50:37

# Oh, night divine

0:50:390:50:48

# Oh, night

0:50:480:50:52

# Oh, night divine

0:50:530:51:03

# Oh, holy night

0:51:040:51:10

# Oh, night divine. #

0:51:110:51:28

From all of us to all of you, a very merry Christmas. Good night.
