0:00:07 > 0:00:09Hello! I'm Lucy.
0:00:09 > 0:00:15I live at 64 Zoo Lane, and I have some very special neighbours. Look!
0:00:15 > 0:00:19# There's one with a hump And one who can jump
0:00:19 > 0:00:22# And one who is a little bit plump
0:00:22 > 0:00:26# 64, 64, 64 Zoo Lane
0:00:26 > 0:00:29# Some like it hot And some like it chilly
0:00:29 > 0:00:33# And some like it both ways and that's a bit silly
0:00:33 > 0:00:36# 64, 64, 64 Zoo Lane
0:00:36 > 0:00:39# Some are friendly, some are scary
0:00:39 > 0:00:43# But one thing is sure not one is ordinary
0:00:43 > 0:00:46# 64, 64, 64 Zoo Lane
0:00:46 > 0:00:49# Some are spotty, some are stripy
0:00:49 > 0:00:53# Or prickly and woolly and furry and slimy
0:00:53 > 0:00:56# Some are quite big And some are very small
0:00:56 > 0:00:58# And the last one's Georgina
0:00:58 > 0:01:00# Who's incredibly tall
0:01:00 > 0:01:03# 64, 64, 64 Zoo Lane
0:01:03 > 0:01:07# 64, 64, 64 Zoo Lane. #
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Bedtime, Lucy! >
0:01:11 > 0:01:13OK, Mum.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Wheeee!
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- ALL:- Hello, Lucy!
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Hi, everyone.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42What's that, Lucy?
0:01:42 > 0:01:43It's a surprise.
0:01:43 > 0:01:48- Here, you hold on to this end, Boris.- Oooh.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52And, Nelson, you hold the other end.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- ALL:- Oooh!
0:01:55 > 0:01:57That's beautiful, Lucy.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01It's Christmas tomorrow. I've been making decorations,
0:02:01 > 0:02:04and wrapping presents and baking biscuits.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- You have been busy.- Yes.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- SHE SIGHS - I'm all tired out now.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13What I need is a nice, relaxing story.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16I happen to know a good Christmas story.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18- ALL:- Oooh!
0:02:20 > 0:02:22It was winter in the mountains,
0:02:22 > 0:02:26and everything was covered with snow.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Well, it's nearin' to Christmas time, folks.
0:02:31 > 0:02:37- How can you tell that?- Only little things an expert would know.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Here we go.
0:02:39 > 0:02:44Like the snow crystals sparkling in the sunlight. Huh?
0:02:44 > 0:02:45HE PANTS
0:02:45 > 0:02:50Or the scent of the fir trees. Or how deep the snow is.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53OTHERS ALL TALK AT ONCE
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Is it deep enough yet, boys?
0:02:59 > 0:03:01- BOTH:- Oh, yes.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03It'll be Christmas any minute now.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07It's time we got a Christmas tree.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09- ALL:- Yeah!
0:03:09 > 0:03:13You know the best places to find trees.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16I sure do, Melanie, follow me.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Here we are, folks, see a tree you like?
0:03:20 > 0:03:25- There are so many to chose from. - Uh-huh?
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Don't like the look of that bark.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38Hmm, branch is not quite straight.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43They all seem nice to me.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48How about this one? Strong and healthy.
0:03:48 > 0:03:53No, the needles are too dark. I think we can do better.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58You know, I think we need to get a move on.
0:03:58 > 0:04:04- You should tell Beverly. - Um, Bev, we thought we should hurry,
0:04:04 > 0:04:06before the bison get here.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10'Randolph know that the bison liked to celebrate Christmas too.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13'And there were a lot of them.'
0:04:13 > 0:04:15This is the one.
0:04:15 > 0:04:20- It's beautiful.- The best ever.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Go ahead, Beverly!
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Timber!
0:04:29 > 0:04:33'Now, we had to get back home.'
0:04:33 > 0:04:37Hmmm... Oh, no!
0:04:37 > 0:04:40How are we going to cross?
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Don't worry, I've got an idea.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47- Yipeee!- Woohoo!
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Ooh, that was a good idea, Boris.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00Grrrrr!
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Now, we have to find a nice spot for our tree.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Let's try nearby the river.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Oh, OK.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15So, what do you think?
0:05:20 > 0:05:22ALL MAKE NEGATIVE NOISES
0:05:24 > 0:05:26ALL: Yay!
0:05:26 > 0:05:31This is perfect! Everyone will be able to get a good view of the tree.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35Christmas is about sharing, you see.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37How lovely.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Sure is a beautiful tree you picked us.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43- Just needs some decorations. - Oh yes.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Let's go and find some pretty things.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48'Melanie was excited.
0:05:48 > 0:05:53'But the others told her that someone had to stay and look after the tree.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55'And she was just the moose for the job.'
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Do I really need to stay here?
0:05:58 > 0:06:00I don't think the tree will run away.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03We went to a whole lot of trouble to find our tree,
0:06:03 > 0:06:05so we can't risk losing it.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09Thanks, we'll be back real soon!
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Ohh.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20'The bison had arrived to collect their Christmas trees.'
0:06:23 > 0:06:27Well, I sure am glad we got our tree before these critters showed up.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31Yes. Now, let's go get those decorations.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34We can split up to save time.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44It looks like we're too late.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Daddy, where's our tree?
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Oh, don't worry, Barbara?
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Daddy will get us a Christmas tree.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Er, yes, of course.
0:06:53 > 0:06:58This isn't the only place to find Christmas trees. Follow me.
0:07:00 > 0:07:05'Meanwhile, Beverly and Randolph were picking icicles.
0:07:05 > 0:07:10'Alfie and Charlie were digging for fir cones.'
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Woohoo!
0:07:12 > 0:07:16'I was still looking for decorations for our tree.'
0:07:18 > 0:07:21These maple leaves have been here since autumn.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25They should be just perfect.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30'And Melanie was still looking after the Christmas tree,
0:07:30 > 0:07:34'making sure it didn't go anywhere.'
0:07:34 > 0:07:35SOBBING
0:07:35 > 0:07:39Deary me, Ma. We've looked everywhere for a tree.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Seems there's not one to be had anywhere.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45(SOBBING) I want a Christmas tree!
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Oh, Daddy, Mummy!
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Christmas tree! Christmas tree!
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- Christmas tree!- Her first Christmas?
0:07:55 > 0:08:00- Sure is.- Yeah. She's been so looking forward to it,
0:08:00 > 0:08:03but we can't find her a tree anywhere.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07'Melanie thought back to what Boris had said about Christmas
0:08:07 > 0:08:12'being a time for sharing. And so, she made an important decision.'
0:08:12 > 0:08:15You can have our tree.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19- Oh, but we couldn't.- Oh, yeah! Ha-ha-ha!
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Hooray! Christmas tree!
0:08:24 > 0:08:28Well, I do hope you enjoy it.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Oh, we will. Thank you so very much.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Sure was a nice tree those guys had.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Almost as nice as ours.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46THEY GASP
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Melanie! Where'd our tree go?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50I gave it away!
0:08:50 > 0:08:53You did what?!
0:08:53 > 0:08:57Remember how you said Christmas was all about sharing?
0:08:57 > 0:09:02Yes, but we didn't mean for you to share OUR tree!
0:09:02 > 0:09:07Oh. There was a baby bison, and she didn't have a Christmas tree.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10And I thought she shouldn't miss out.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Well, I think you did the right thing, Melanie.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19I guess you're right, Boris.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22But where are we going to hang these decorations now?
0:09:22 > 0:09:25There are no trees left.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28There must be something we can do.
0:09:28 > 0:09:34Yes. What else is big and has branches you can hang things on?
0:09:34 > 0:09:35ALL: Er...
0:09:38 > 0:09:41My antlers can be our Christmas tree!
0:09:42 > 0:09:44ALL: Yeah!
0:09:46 > 0:09:51'And so we started to decorate Melanie's antlers.'
0:09:51 > 0:09:55Are you sure you won't get cold standing here, Melanie?
0:09:55 > 0:10:00I'm fine, Boris. We moose love the snow.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02SHE CHUCKLES
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Oh, don't shake your head just yet!
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Oooh.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12OK, Melanie. Now you can shake your head!
0:10:12 > 0:10:14THEY LAUGH
0:10:14 > 0:10:20We all agreed Melanie's antlers made the best Christmas tree ever.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23And that was my best Christmas story ever!
0:10:23 > 0:10:28- I'm glad you liked it.- Here are your decorations back, Lucy.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30You can keep them to decorate the zoo.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Ooh, thank you, Lucy.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Better get some sleep now.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Tomorrow is a busy day!
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Good night, everyone.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44ALL: Good night!
0:10:44 > 0:10:47And happy Christmas, Lucy.
