Ah, Christmas!

0:01:020:01:05

Only three days until the big day.

0:01:050:01:09

This is going to be the best ever.

# Christmas will be magical

0:01:150:01:17

# Just like in a fairy tale

0:01:170:01:20

# I want so much snow that I'll use my toes

0:01:200:01:24

# To pick up the morning mail

0:01:240:01:26

# Dinner will be delicious

0:01:260:01:29

# Turkey and candied yams

0:01:290:01:32

0:01:320:01:35

-Yes, ma'am!

0:01:350:01:38

# Our tree will shine so brightly

0:01:380:01:41

# Our tree will be eight feet tall

0:01:410:01:44

# Popcorn strung diagonally

0:01:440:01:46

# Candy canes and silver balls... #

0:01:460:01:49

Here's a saying worth obeying

0:01:490:01:53

Please take out a pad and pencil

0:01:530:01:55

Nothing is more of an eyesore

0:01:550:01:58

Than the excessive use of tinsel

0:01:580:02:01

-What, no tinsel?!

-Not in this dream

0:02:010:02:03

-I want tinsel!

-You can have tinsel.

0:02:030:02:06

# When you are as old as me

0:02:060:02:09

# Is that a guarantee?

0:02:090:02:11

# Christmas will be special

0:02:160:02:18

# It'll be magnificent

0:02:180:02:21

-# Everyone's going to state

-ALL: I really think you're great!

0:02:210:02:25

# When they open up my presents

0:02:250:02:27

# Yes, this Christmas, I suspect

0:02:270:02:30

# Will be perfect in all respects

0:02:300:02:33

# This Christmas will be

0:02:330:02:35

# The best...

0:02:350:02:38

# Christmas yet. #

0:02:380:02:41

-Hmm!

-Arthur! What are you doing?! Why are you so calm?!

0:02:430:02:48

It's three days till Christmas!

0:02:480:02:52

-So?

-So?! There's work to be done!

0:02:520:02:55

Help me write my wish list to Santa.

0:02:550:02:59

"My dearest Santa..." No, no, no. That's too gushy.

0:03:000:03:06

What about, "Hiya, Santa..."?

0:03:060:03:09

Aw! That's way too friendly!

0:03:090:03:13

Come on, Arthur! I need ideas!

0:03:130:03:16

I've only had four Christmases! What should I write?!

0:03:160:03:21

Ohh! Well, everything will be ALMOST perfect.

0:03:210:03:26

DW, come on! We're going to be late for school!

0:03:320:03:37

You wrote "Santa Claus", right? Not "Santa Cruz"?

0:03:410:03:46

Yes, DW! Mom, can you turn on the radio to see if it's going to snow?

0:03:460:03:53

'# ..Always at your feet And it's really, really sweet

0:03:530:03:57

'# It's Tina the talking tabby... #'

0:03:570:04:01

Don't even think about touching that dial!

0:04:010:04:05

'# Just scratch behind her ears And this is what you hear

0:04:050:04:09

'# I'm Tina the talking tabby

0:04:090:04:12

'# Oh, Tina, Tina, tiny Tina Tina, Tina, tiny Tina

0:04:120:04:16

'# Tina, the talking tabby

0:04:160:04:19

-'# Oh, Tina, Tina... #'

-Mom, change the station!

0:04:190:04:23

I'm getting a headache!

0:04:230:04:26

-JAZZ MUSIC PLAYS

-Mom, that's the toy I really want!

0:04:260:04:30

The one I wrote Santa about.

0:04:300:04:33

-You put it at the top of the list. Right, Arthur?

-Yes, DW!

0:04:330:04:37

Santa will get it for me, won't he?

0:04:370:04:41

I don't know, honey. We'll have to wait and see.

0:04:410:04:46

Francine!

0:04:580:05:00

Hi, Francine! One more day until my big party!

0:05:020:05:07

Muffy, I told you, I can't...

0:05:070:05:10

Oh! I forgot to invite George!

0:05:100:05:13

Hmm!

0:05:130:05:15

-Hey, Francine, what's wrong?

-Muffy!

0:05:150:05:19

She thinks I'm coming to her party, even though I told her I can't.

0:05:190:05:24

My family's having a Chanukah party.

0:05:240:05:27

-We light the last candle on the menorah.

-So tell her again.

0:05:270:05:33

I've already told her a million times. Watch.

0:05:330:05:38

See you there, George!

0:05:390:05:41

Muffy, I'm not coming to your party.

0:05:410:05:44

Guess what! I got the Swabs! You know - the rock band.

0:05:440:05:49

It's going to be so cool.

0:05:490:05:51

It's like talking to a wall!

0:05:530:05:56

Arthur?

0:05:560:05:59

SCHOOL BELL RINGS Hmm!

0:05:590:06:02

In Sweden, they have a parade early in the morning on December 13th.

0:06:020:06:08

People follow the Queen of Light who wears a crown of candles.

0:06:080:06:13

THEY SING IN SWEDISH

0:06:130:06:16

My grandfather sent me some fish that's been dried and boiled.

0:06:380:06:43

Pass it around.

0:06:430:06:45

THEY ALL GROAN

0:06:520:06:55

Mmm! Not bad!

0:06:580:07:01

At Christmas, my parents and I work at a soup kitchen for the homeless.

0:07:030:07:08

This year, I made dessert.

0:07:080:07:11

Presenting the Binky Barnes pecan pie!

0:07:110:07:16

Any volunteers? ALL: Yeah!

0:07:160:07:18

-I believe you have to shell the pecans.

-Oh!

0:07:250:07:30

I like it!

0:07:300:07:32

OK, class, before you leave for vacation there's still homework.

0:07:320:07:38

THEY ALL GROAN

0:07:380:07:40

I've decided not to assign you any reading.

0:07:400:07:45

Instead, write a five-page essay describing your holidays.

0:07:450:07:50

-Class dismissed!

-THEY ALL GROAN

0:07:500:07:54

I knew it was too good to be true!

0:07:540:07:58

-I have to go shopping. Want to come?

-No, I'm going to bed.

0:07:580:08:03

My mother woke me up at six this morning.

0:08:030:08:07

She thought it was Christmas.

0:08:070:08:10

It's happened every year since my parents got divorced.

0:08:100:08:15

On the days before Christmas, my mom gets up really early.

0:08:150:08:20

Oh! It's Christmas!

0:08:200:08:23

'She cooks pancakes and puts out all the presents.'

0:08:230:08:27

-I tell her it's only December 23rd and she goes back to bed.

-Weird!

0:08:270:08:33

She worries I won't enjoy Christmas because my dad's not with us.

0:08:330:08:38

-That's too bad!

-Sometimes I wish Christmas wasn't such a big deal.

0:08:380:08:44

FANFARE PLAYS

0:08:440:08:47

I, Muffy, the princess of Christmas,

0:08:490:08:55

invite one and all to my holiday extravaganza!

0:08:550:09:00

-Her what?!

-My party! It's at five o'clock tomorrow.

0:09:000:09:05

Presents for everyone!

0:09:050:09:08

Oh, Francine! Why don't you come early and help me set up?

0:09:100:09:16

But Muffy, I told you, I can't come!

0:09:160:09:20

Grr! Why won't she listen?!

0:09:220:09:25

Lutefisk?

0:09:250:09:27

-Wow!

-Wait till you see the line for the bathrooms.

0:09:390:09:44

Let's synchronise our watches. 3.15?

0:09:440:09:48

-Check.

-Meet you at the candy cane in exactly one hour.

0:09:480:09:53

Excuse me!

0:09:580:10:00

'It peels, it cores, it shreds, it mashes, it juliennes!

0:10:020:10:07

'It's an entire kitchen in itself.

0:10:070:10:11

'It's now on sale for only 5.99!'

0:10:110:10:15

That's perfect for Dad!

0:10:150:10:17

'Scuse me, sir.

0:10:170:10:19

-Sorry, we're sold out.

-Aw!

0:10:190:10:23

Allow me to show you something else.

0:10:230:10:26

Yes, sir! Selling like hot cakes.

0:10:280:10:32

Uncle Niko's olive depitter.

0:10:320:10:35

You just stick an olive in... and out pops the pit!

0:10:350:10:40

Um...I don't know.

0:10:430:10:45

I'll throw in the olives.

0:10:450:10:47

Only one present to go. Hmm, what to get Mom?

0:10:510:10:57

Hey! It's that little glass bird I broke last summer.

0:11:000:11:05

HE BARKS LIKE A DOG

0:11:060:11:08

Help! Help!

0:11:080:11:11

Arthur, leave me alone!

0:11:110:11:14

Arthur did it!

0:11:190:11:22

Mom loved that bird. This'll really surprise her.

0:11:220:11:27

HE GASPS

0:11:270:11:29

Oh, brother!

0:11:290:11:31

Excuse me, young man, may I help you?

0:11:460:11:50

Huh? Oh, yeah.

0:11:500:11:53

The little glass bird in the window, please.

0:11:530:11:57

I assume that will be cash.

0:11:570:12:00

Yes, ma'am!

0:12:000:12:03

25, 35, 45...

0:12:030:12:06

56, 57, 58...59.

0:12:060:12:11

There! Nine dollars and 59 cents.

0:12:110:12:16

Huh? Oh, yeah, here you go.

0:12:160:12:18

Thanks. Happy holidays.

0:12:180:12:22

Oh, no, it's 4.13!

0:12:260:12:28

Excuse me, sir, how do I get to the giant candy cane?

0:12:280:12:33

Which giant candy cane, son?

0:12:330:12:37

There's the giant green one

0:12:370:12:40

and there's the giant pink one.

0:12:400:12:43

The giant red one?

0:12:430:12:45

That's Santa's workshop. Go through Toy Town.

0:12:450:12:50

'# Oh, Tina, Tina, tiny Tina Tina, Tina, tiny

0:12:550:12:58

'# Tina, Tina the talking tabby

0:12:580:13:02

'# Oh, Tina, Tina, tiny, Tina, Tina, Tina, tiny... #'

0:13:020:13:05

Grrr! That song!

0:13:050:13:08

'# Oh, Tina, Tina, tiny Tina, Tina, Tina, tiny

0:13:080:13:12

'# Tina, Tina, the talking tabby. #

0:13:120:13:15

SONG CONTINUES

0:13:150:13:18

'# Tina, Tina the talking Tabby. #'

0:13:380:13:41

Did you get everything you needed?

0:13:500:13:53

Yep. How about you?

0:13:530:13:56

Almost everything.

0:13:560:13:58

There was just one thing that was sold out.

0:13:580:14:02

DW, you know that Santa can't always get exactly the thing you want.

0:14:020:14:09

-Why?! Because I've been bad?!

-No, DW, you haven't been bad!

0:14:090:14:15

It's just that a lot of children are wishing for the same thing.

0:14:150:14:20

Arthur wrote my letter all wrong!

0:14:200:14:24

I knew I should have done it myself.

0:14:240:14:27

I've got a big surprise!

0:14:270:14:30

Uncle Fred's video Christmas card.

0:14:300:14:33

Is this thing on? Oh! It is!

0:14:350:14:38

Hi, Sis! Hi, David, Arthur, DW, and of course, little Kate!

0:14:380:14:43

-It's your Uncle Fred!

-DOG BARKS

0:14:430:14:47

And Rory! We can't be with you this Christmas cos we're going to...

0:14:470:14:52

BOTH: Hawaii?!

0:14:520:14:56

Florida!

0:14:530:14:56

Hey! Who turned out the lights?

0:14:560:14:59

Rory, no! That's not a dog treat!

0:14:590:15:02

THEY LAUGH

0:15:020:15:05

-Oh, that Fred!

-He's so funny!

0:15:070:15:11

Last Christmas he stepped on that tea set Dad got for Mom!

0:15:110:15:16

That wasn't so funny. Dinner! It's your favourite, Arthur.

0:15:160:15:21

Won't Christmas dinner be boring if we have the same thing tonight?

0:15:210:15:27

Dad wants to do something different.

0:15:270:15:30

Yes - a dinner they might have eaten in Bethlehem when Jesus was born.

0:15:300:15:38

-Did they have pumpkin pie?

-No. The pumpkin is a New World vegetable.

0:15:380:15:43

But with my History Of Cooking book I can put together a delicious meal.

0:15:430:15:49

Roast lamb with turmeric, unleavened bread and pulse -

0:15:490:15:54

an ancient Roman dish made from mashed chickpeas and wheat. Mmm!

0:15:540:16:00

Daddy! There's sand in my hummus!

0:16:040:16:07

And my pulse is cold.

0:16:070:16:10

-Hey, Arthur, want my camel?

-Ugh!

0:16:100:16:13

No, thanks!

0:16:130:16:16

And chocolate-covered dates.

0:16:170:16:20

Sorry, no chocolate - that's Aztec.

0:16:200:16:23

-It'll be fun! Arthur?

-I guess...

0:16:230:16:27

-HE SNORES

-Rise and shine, sleepy head!

0:16:290:16:34

Christmas is here!

0:16:340:16:36

# Christmas, Christmas, Christmas! #

0:16:360:16:40

Pancakes are on the table and I see lots of presents!

0:16:410:16:46

Ohh!

0:16:500:16:52

-I'm sorry, Buster!

-It's OK, Mom.

0:16:540:16:58

I get pancakes every morning.

0:16:580:17:01

I just can't wait for the holidays to be over.

0:17:010:17:06

Look, Timmy, DW's mailing a letter to Santa!

0:17:080:17:12

-What a baby!

-Are you asking for a new rattle?

0:17:120:17:17

This is not a letter to Santa.

0:17:170:17:20

It's to, erm... the President of the United States.

0:17:200:17:25

Oh! So he's the one who gets us all the presents.

0:17:250:17:29

Don't let me down, Santa. I'm counting on you.

0:17:310:17:36

# May your holiday be merry and bright

0:17:480:17:50

# May the season be jolly and out of sight

0:17:500:17:53

# Have a boogie-woogie Christmas And a rockin' and a reelin' New Year

0:17:530:17:57

# Have you heard the news? Santa Claus is coming to town

0:17:570:18:02

# Yeah! Have you heard the news? Santa Claus is coming to town

0:18:020:18:07

# Hang the stockings by the chimney with care

0:18:080:18:11

# Turn the stereo up and if you dare

0:18:110:18:14

# Have a boogie-woogie Christmas and a rockin' and a reelin' New Year. #

0:18:140:18:19

Christmas is tomorrow and there's still no snow!

0:18:190:18:24

No-one actually knows what day Jesus was born on.

0:18:240:18:29

It's in December probably because that was the Romans' winter solstice.

0:18:290:18:34

Most likely, they adopted it from the Babylonians.

0:18:340:18:38

I don't care! I still want snow!

0:18:380:18:41

FANFARE PLAYS

0:18:410:18:43

Gather round, subjects. I'm Muffy, the Princess of Christmas.

0:18:430:18:49

We'll now give out your presents.

0:18:490:18:52

The first one is for... Francine Frensky.

0:18:520:18:58

I said, Francine Frensky.

0:18:580:19:02

Will Miss Frensky come to the stage?

0:19:020:19:06

I won again! Yes!

0:19:090:19:11

PHONE RINGS Francine, it's for you!

0:19:110:19:15

-Hello.

-'Where are you? We're waiting for you to accept your present!'

0:19:170:19:23

Muffy, I told you exactly...

0:19:230:19:27

5, 10, 15, 20, 25...

0:19:270:19:30

28 times that I couldn't come to your party, but you didn't listen.

0:19:300:19:37

You see your family every day.

0:19:370:19:40

And Chanukah's not as important as Christmas.

0:19:400:19:44

SHE GASPS Well, it is to me!

0:19:440:19:48

How rude!

0:19:480:19:50

OK, who wants Francine's present?

0:19:500:19:54

HE SNORES

0:19:570:20:00

-Buster, wake up!

-Is it Christmas again?

0:20:020:20:06

-No, and you have cake on your face.

-Ah! That's nice!

0:20:060:20:11

Maybe you and your mom shouldn't have Christmas.

0:20:110:20:16

What else can we do?

0:20:160:20:18

-Create your own holiday.

-You can't just invent a holiday.

0:20:180:20:24

Sure you can. My family celebrates Kwanzaa.

0:20:240:20:28

It was invented for African-Americans in 1966.

0:20:280:20:32

-See, Buster, you could celebrate... Baxter Day!

-Mmm! Baxter Day!

0:20:320:20:38

I wonder what that would be like.

0:20:380:20:41

# Up in the morning Breakfast in bed

0:20:440:20:48

# Hot fudge sundaes on toast

0:20:480:20:52

# Birdies are singing and I'm singing too...

0:20:520:20:55

Cos today's the day I love the most!

0:20:550:20:58

# And after breakfast I'll have a snack

0:20:580:21:02

# Two cheese burgers and pie

0:21:020:21:05

# My friends are coming to watch us go... #

0:21:060:21:09

On a rocket ship. Let's wave goodbye!

0:21:090:21:13

# Cos it's Baxter Day

0:21:130:21:16

# Oh, yes, it's Baxter Day!

0:21:160:21:20

# Stop whatever you're doing Let me hear you say

0:21:200:21:25

# Today is Baxter Day

0:21:250:21:28

# I could tell jokes to an alien crowd

0:21:300:21:34

# Somewhere in outer space... #

0:21:340:21:36

What has two heads and giggles a lot?

0:21:370:21:41

I don't know, but it's crawling on your face!

0:21:410:21:45

# Stop by the Moon just to make sure

# It's really made of cheese

0:21:480:21:51

# The thing I love best about this kind of day

0:21:510:21:55

# Is that we can do whatever we please

0:21:550:21:59

# Cos it's Baxter Day

0:22:000:22:02

# Yes, it's Baxter Day!

0:22:020:22:06

# Stop whatever you're doing Let me hear you say

0:22:060:22:11

# Today is Baxter Day

0:22:110:22:14

# No need for presents There's nothing I need

0:22:160:22:19

# You won't find it at a store in the mall

0:22:190:22:22

# We're together and that's my gift... #

0:22:230:22:26

It's the very best present of all.

0:22:260:22:30

# We could just sleep late

0:22:320:22:35

# If that's what we wanted to do

0:22:350:22:38

# We could even stay in pyjamas all day

0:22:390:22:42

# And maybe eat a snack or...five

0:22:420:22:46

# We could just read books

0:22:470:22:49

# Stories that would make us laugh

0:22:490:22:52

# And if we got dirty

0:22:540:22:56

# We wouldn't even have to take a bath... # You know why?

0:22:560:22:59

# Cos it's Baxter Day

0:22:590:23:02

# Oh, yeah! It's Baxter Day!

0:23:020:23:06

# Stop whatever you're doing Let me hear you say

0:23:060:23:10

# Today is Baxter Day

0:23:100:23:14

# It's just a relaxer day

0:23:140:23:17

# Yes, today is Baxter Day. #

0:23:170:23:21

All day, that is!

0:23:210:23:24

Yeah, it is a good idea! But my mom would never go for it.

0:23:240:23:29

-You don't know for sure unless you ask her.

-Hmm!

0:23:290:23:33

Ugh! Did you put sugar in these brownies, Binky?

0:23:370:23:42

Sugar! So that's what makes them sweet!

0:23:430:23:48

HE WHISTLES

0:23:500:23:52

-What's that?!

-It's our tree, silly!

0:23:590:24:03

-But... But it's all fluffy!

-So?

-It's not like a Christmas tree.

0:24:030:24:10

-What do you mean?

-Gold and silver balls and popcorn, not unicorns.

0:24:100:24:17

-Make the rest of the tree how you want it.

-I'll help!

-No, you won't!

0:24:170:24:24

Huh!

0:24:240:24:26

Hmm. There!

0:24:270:24:30

I guess, if you cover the bottom part...

0:24:330:24:37

It still looks weird.

0:24:370:24:40

Come on, Arthur, we don't want to be late for church.

0:24:400:24:45

'# Tina, Tina, tiny Tina Tina, Tina, tiny Tina

0:24:450:24:48

'# Tina the talking tabby... #'

0:24:480:24:51

Dad, can we please put something else on?

0:24:510:24:55

'# Crazy bus, crazy bus

0:24:560:24:58

'# Riding on a crazy bus... #

0:24:580:25:00

Ohhh!

0:25:000:25:02

CHURCH BELLS RING

0:25:050:25:08

-Arthur, I got you a present.

-Really?

0:25:090:25:13

The first slice of my banana bread.

0:25:130:25:16

-Uh, thanks.

-Aren't you going to try it?

0:25:160:25:21

Ugh! Did you peel the bananas?

0:25:230:25:27

"Peel bananas."

0:25:280:25:31

"To Mom, love Arthur."

0:25:310:25:36

Mom is going to be so surprised.

0:25:360:25:39

I can't wait till she opens it.

0:25:390:25:43

It's not so bad looking, really. See you bright and early, tree.

0:25:430:25:48

Is there a fire in the fireplace?

0:25:480:25:51

No. Why?

0:25:510:25:54

So Santa doesn't get burnt, silly!

0:25:540:25:57

Am I the only one thinking of Santa's best interests?

0:25:570:26:02

Here's a snack for him.

0:26:020:26:05

It's a long way from the North Pole.

0:26:050:26:09

Stop! Those are Santa's cookies.

0:26:100:26:13

Kids like you get lumps of coal.

0:26:130:26:17

Follow me. There's one more thing we have to do.

0:26:170:26:21

-What's that for?

-The reindeer. They get thirsty too.

0:26:230:26:28

Look! A snowflake!

0:26:280:26:31

It's going to...!

0:26:310:26:33

..rain.

0:26:350:26:37

Even if it doesn't snow tomorrow, it's still Christmas.

0:26:410:26:47

Mom is going to love that bird. At least that will be perfect.

0:26:470:26:52

Good night, boy.

0:26:520:26:54

-CRASH

-What was that?

0:26:540:26:57

I was coming to drop off presents when the truck started smoking!

0:26:570:27:02

Arthur, look who's here.

0:27:020:27:06

-Uncle Fred!

-Hey, Arthur, how the heck are you?

0:27:060:27:10

Sorry about the fence. I had trouble parking. Clumsy me!

0:27:100:27:16

-HE LAUGHS

-Cut it out, Rory!

0:27:170:27:21

Rory just loves Pal!

0:27:250:27:28

PAL GROWLS

0:27:410:27:44

Arthur, back to bed. You'll see Uncle Fred tomorrow.

0:27:490:27:54

That's great! Good night, Uncle Fred. Come on, Pal.

0:27:540:27:59

Pal? Oh, no!

0:27:590:28:02

DOGS GROWL

0:28:020:28:05

HE GASPS

0:28:070:28:09

Aaagh!

0:28:090:28:11

No! Rory, Pal!

0:28:110:28:15

Stop it!

0:28:150:28:17

Give that back! It's Mom's present!

0:28:230:28:28

High-ya! Whoa! Whoa!

0:28:330:28:36

The truck broke down outside your house. What a coincidence!

0:28:360:28:42

-Fred, your tea.

-Whoops! Clumsy me!

0:28:420:28:46

I'll get some paper towels. We've got napkins.

0:28:460:28:51

-I'll get it.

-BOTH: Ow!

0:28:510:28:53

Whoa! Rory, stop, you'll break it!

0:28:530:28:57

It's not a doggy toy! Oh, no!

0:28:570:29:01

Get out of the way, Pal!

0:29:010:29:03

Phew!

0:29:130:29:15

-Arthur, back to bed now!

-But...

0:29:200:29:23

No buts. You and Pal can play with Rory tomorrow.

0:29:230:29:27

It'll be safe in here.

0:29:350:29:38

It's...Christmas!

0:29:540:29:57

Wake up, everyone! It's Christmas!

0:29:570:30:00

-Arthur, wake up! It's Christmas!

-Huh?

0:30:000:30:04

Mommy, Daddy, Christmas is here! Wake up!

0:30:040:30:08

Time to open presents! Time to...!

0:30:080:30:11

Ohh...!

0:30:140:30:16

Ho, ho! Well, hello there!

0:30:190:30:23

Ow!

0:30:260:30:28

Merry Christmas, Uncle Fred.

0:30:320:30:35

Merry Christmas, sport!

0:30:350:30:38

Santa's in our bathroom! He has a big white beard and a red suit.

0:30:380:30:43

It was really, really him!

0:30:430:30:46

All right. All right.

0:30:460:30:49

Santa! Are you through in there?

0:30:530:30:56

I want you to meet my dad!

0:30:560:30:59

I think Santa's hard of hearing.

0:31:120:31:16

Aaagh!

0:31:180:31:21

Can't a kid get any privacy?!

0:31:210:31:25

Oops! Sorry!

0:31:250:31:28

SHE GIGGLES NERVOUSLY

0:31:290:31:32

Hey, Mom, wake up! It's Christmas!

0:31:340:31:37

Really?! Are you sure?

0:31:370:31:40

Yep - see.

0:31:400:31:44

OK! Let's get this show on the road.

0:31:440:31:48

Cool! It's Cybercod!

0:31:500:31:53

I'm sorry, Buster. We can return it.

0:31:530:31:56

-Huh? Why?

-Because you already have that one.

0:31:560:32:00

-I found it in your room after I bought that one.

-That's Technotrout.

0:32:000:32:05

He has a speckled belly and he doesn't have Cybercod's kung fu fin.

0:32:050:32:10

Oh, thank goodness!

0:32:100:32:13

Oh, no! The pancakes are burning! The pancakes are burning!

0:32:130:32:18

SMOKE ALARM BEEPS I like them brown.

0:32:180:32:22

-Or black.

-Ohh!

0:32:250:32:28

Got it!

0:32:320:32:34

-SHE GASPS

-A Cindy Crawfish mini make-up kit!

0:32:340:32:38

Thank you, Mom and Dad!

0:32:380:32:41

Let's see. That makes...

0:32:410:32:45

37 presents, including the calculator. The best Christmas ever.

0:32:450:32:50

I can't wait to try this out!

0:32:540:32:57

I don't need make-up. I'm already beautiful.

0:32:590:33:04

Francine doesn't have any and she sure could use some!

0:33:040:33:09

Oh, wait. I can't call her. We're not friends any more.

0:33:110:33:16

Who am I going to tell about all my cool presents?

0:33:160:33:21

# I got a clubhouse

0:33:230:33:26

# I think it's the biggest in the world

0:33:260:33:30

# I'd be the princess

0:33:300:33:32

# And Francine our serving girl

0:33:320:33:36

# It'd be so neat

0:33:360:33:39

# And if she was sweet

0:33:390:33:42

# I might even let her

0:33:420:33:46

# Be queen

0:33:460:33:48

# But not this year

0:33:480:33:51

# Cos I can't call Francine

0:33:510:33:57

# Check out this toy train

0:34:000:34:03

# Something Francine would love to use

0:34:030:34:06

# Maybe she'd drive it

0:34:060:34:08

# While I ate cake in the caboose

0:34:080:34:12

# I'd be warm in my stole

0:34:120:34:15

# While she shovelled coal

0:34:150:34:18

# Till there was nothing we hadn't seen

0:34:180:34:24

# But not this year

0:34:260:34:28

# Cos I can't call Francine

0:34:280:34:33

# These video games are just so lame

0:34:370:34:40

# When you only play the computer

0:34:400:34:44

# And who will I take to see Swan Lake?

0:34:440:34:47

# I guess I will bring my tutor... #

0:34:470:34:50

That'll be a lot of fun(!)

0:34:500:34:53

# Here is a puzzle

0:34:580:35:01

# It's in 20,000 pieces

0:35:020:35:05

# Maybe I'll finish it

0:35:050:35:07

# By the time I have grandnieces

0:35:070:35:11

# Oh, I got pretty dolls

0:35:110:35:14

# Stuffed animals

0:35:150:35:17

# A miniature submarine

0:35:180:35:23

# But what good are presents?

0:35:240:35:27

# I find them so unpleasant

0:35:270:35:30

# Who wants presents

0:35:300:35:33

# If I can't share them with...

0:35:330:35:36

# Francine

0:35:370:35:40

# Francine

0:35:410:35:43

# Francine. #

0:35:430:35:46

Ohh!

0:35:460:35:48

SHE SOBS

0:35:490:35:51

Sweetums, let's take the Rolls out for a spin.

0:35:540:35:58

Maybe it'll take your mind off things.

0:35:580:36:03

- Great coffee, David. - It's not coffee, it's ground bark.

0:36:100:36:15

They didn't have coffee in ancient Jerusalem.

0:36:150:36:19

What does your brother Fred do?

0:36:190:36:22

He works in a china shop.

0:36:220:36:25

You like the little rattle, don't you? Oops!

0:36:250:36:30

It WAS Santa in the bathroom!

0:36:350:36:38

It was probably just Uncle Fred.

0:36:380:36:42

-Since when does Uncle Fred have a white beard?

-Santa works at night.

0:36:420:36:49

He was late - probably because you wrote my wish list wrong!

0:36:490:36:55

Attention, everyone! It's time we got started on those presents!

0:36:570:37:02

Finally!

0:37:020:37:04

Wait! Don't start without me.

0:37:040:37:08

This is going to be so good! I can't wait to see Mom's expression.

0:37:120:37:17

SHE GASPS This is beautiful!

0:37:190:37:22

It's the best present ever! Arthur, you're perfect!

0:37:220:37:28

She's right, Arthur, you ARE perfect.

0:37:280:37:32

You're a grade A grandson!

0:37:320:37:35

Here, dear. It's the Little Angel award.

0:37:350:37:39

A special prize only given to perfect children.

0:37:390:37:43

What about me, Grandma? Aren't I perfect too?

0:37:430:37:48

You're almost perfect, honey.

0:37:480:37:52

Come on! It's time for the parade.

0:37:520:37:56

CHEERING

0:37:560:37:59

'What a turn-out for this Heroes Of The 20th Century parade!

0:37:590:38:04

'There's Albert Einstein, moving much slower than the speed of light.

0:38:040:38:10

'And Mahatma Gandhi, showing no resistance to this adoring crowd.

0:38:100:38:17

'And is that...? Yes, it is! It's the Arthur Read balloon!

0:38:170:38:22

'The crowd is going wild - and with good reason!

0:38:230:38:28

'Arthur is the perfect 8-year-old.

0:38:280:38:31

CROWD CHANT: Arthur! Arthur! Arthur!

0:38:310:38:34

Oop!

0:38:480:38:50

Oh, please don't be...!

0:39:030:39:05

Oh, no!

0:39:070:39:10

For Monsieur, fromage americain in a blanket of hen eggs.

0:39:200:39:26

Huh? I ordered a cheese omelette.

0:39:260:39:30

Huh! It IS a cheese omelette.

0:39:300:39:33

This is the smallest piece of broccoli I've ever seen.

0:39:330:39:37

It's parsley. It's just a garnish.

0:39:370:39:40

Mmm! Delicious! Could I have a side order of that?

0:39:400:39:45

HE SIGHS

0:39:450:39:47

-Are you having a good Christmas, sweetie?

-Oh, yeah, great.

0:39:470:39:52

-It's just...

-What? It's the restaurant, isn't it?

0:39:520:39:57

We don't have to stay if you don't like it.

0:39:570:40:02

'You've got tell her Christmas doesn't have to be such a big deal.'

0:40:020:40:08

Mom...

0:40:080:40:10

Everything's just great.

0:40:100:40:14

Ohh!

0:40:140:40:17

Monsieur, herring puree with melted Gruyere...

0:40:170:40:21

on your clean white shirt.

0:40:210:40:25

-< Sorry!

-Huh!

0:40:250:40:28

This is torture! Can't wait...

0:40:300:40:34

much longer!

0:40:340:40:37

-Where's Arthur?!

-He said he'd be down in just a minute.

0:40:370:40:42

I'll go see what's taking him.

0:40:420:40:45

Hey, little buddy...!

0:40:480:40:52

Everybody's waiting. What's wrong?

0:40:520:40:55

This is what's wrong.

0:40:550:40:59

It's my present for Mom. I broke it.

0:40:590:41:02

-We could glue it back together.

-No! It would look terrible!

0:41:020:41:08

-Everything's ruined!

-That's a shame.

0:41:080:41:12

But Christmas isn't just about presents.

0:41:120:41:15

That's what grown-ups always say, but she was really going to like it.

0:41:150:41:22

It's not over yet. There's still the whole day ahead.

0:41:220:41:27

-Let's go back down.

-With my luck, I'll probably knock over the tree.

0:41:270:41:33

Hey! That's my job!

0:41:330:41:36

Ta-da! One Kwanzaa cream special.

0:41:500:41:54

It symbolises freedom, unity and the African struggle for freedom.

0:41:540:42:01

Thanks, but I'm not hungry. Why aren't you at home?

0:42:010:42:06

-Today's a holiday.

-Not for me.

0:42:060:42:08

-Kwanzaa doesn't start until tomorrow.

-Oh.

0:42:080:42:12

Next year can I have a Kwanzaa party?

0:42:120:42:17

Sure, pookie. Why?

0:42:170:42:19

Cos maybe Francine will be able to come.

0:42:190:42:25

Another Vegenator! Now I'll have a back-up if these two break.

0:42:360:42:41

I know what this must be.

0:42:560:42:59

It's...!

0:43:030:43:05

a duck!

0:43:050:43:08

It's not just any duck, honey.

0:43:080:43:11

It can say 5,000 different things.

0:43:110:43:15

Can it say miaow?

0:43:150:43:18

Um, probably...not.

0:43:180:43:21

-Are you upset?

-No.

0:43:210:43:24

I wanted Tina the talking tabby!

0:43:270:43:31

I wanted Tina the talking tabby!

0:43:310:43:35

I wanted Tina...!

0:43:350:43:39

SHE WAILS

0:43:390:43:42

Santa, how could you? This is the worst Christmas ever!

0:43:420:43:48

Hello! I'm Quackers!

0:43:480:43:52

I love you. Do you love me?

0:43:520:43:56

You're kind of cute for someone who's not a kitty.

0:43:560:44:02

Quack-a-doodle-doo!

0:44:020:44:05

SHE GIGGLES

0:44:050:44:07

Ooh, Dad, this is lovely!

0:44:120:44:15

Nothing's too good for my little girl.

0:44:150:44:19

Ohh!

0:44:190:44:21

'Mom probably thinks I forgot to get her a present.'

0:44:210:44:26

THEY ALL LAUGH AND CHATTER

0:44:260:44:30

Twice?! I can understand breaking my bird once, but twice?!

Dear, he's inherited the clumsy gene.

0:44:390:44:43

-He's even worse than me!

-THEY ALL GASP

0:44:430:44:47

Dufus! Dufus! HE CHUCKLES

0:44:470:44:50

Binky, you're not supposed to be in this fantasy.

0:44:500:44:55

Oh. Sorry. Try my peach cobbler?

0:44:550:44:59

Get out!

0:44:590:45:01

'I'd rather Mom thinks I'm a dufus than that I didn't get her anything.

0:45:010:45:08

'This isn't going to be easy.

0:45:080:45:11

Mom, I've got something to tell you.

0:45:110:45:15

Wait a minute. There's still one more present.

0:45:150:45:20

It's for you, Jane, from Arthur.

0:45:200:45:24

It is?!

0:45:240:45:27

Arthur, this is beautiful!

0:45:310:45:35

It's the tea set that Fred broke.

0:45:350:45:38

Better keep it away from me!

0:45:380:45:41

Thank you, Arthur. I'm really touched.

0:45:410:45:45

-But I...!

-There's a tow truck outside.

0:45:450:45:50

It's the mechanic! I didn't think anybody would fix my truck today.

0:45:500:45:56

But I guess miracles DO happen.

0:45:560:45:59

- More, Frankie? - I'm stuffed!

0:46:020:46:06

DOORBELL Who could that be?

0:46:060:46:10

-Muffy?!

-Hi, Francine. We were just in the neighbourhood

0:46:110:46:16

and decided to drop by.

0:46:160:46:19

OK. I'm sorry I didn't listen to you.

0:46:210:46:26

You're my best friend and that party was important to me.

0:46:260:46:30

I want to show you something.

0:46:300:46:33

Our menorah. My great-grandmother brought it from Poland.

0:46:330:46:39

On the last night of Chanukah, all my relatives come to our house.

0:46:390:46:45

'Everyone brings a dish of food.

0:46:470:46:50

'And we have a pot luck dinner.

0:46:510:46:54

You're going to love my cooking!

0:46:540:46:57

THEY SING IN HEBREW

0:47:020:47:05

'After we say the prayer, we put the menorah in the window.

0:47:210:47:28

'It's a beautiful moment. I feel I'm part of something special.'

0:47:280:47:33

-Do you understand why that's really important to me?

-Yeah, I do.

0:47:380:47:44

I'm sorry. I should have listened.

0:47:440:47:47

We have another special tradition,

0:47:470:47:50

something we do every year at Christmas.

0:47:500:47:55

What's that?

0:47:550:47:57

BOTH: Go to the movies!

0:47:570:47:59

Come on, get your coat.

0:47:590:48:02

This profiterole keeps rolling away. I should've had the ice cream.

0:48:030:48:08

-We've got tickets for the Penguins On Ice Christmas Special.

-Mom!

0:48:080:48:14

-Then we'll watch It's A Wonderful Life for the fifth time...

-MOM!

0:48:140:48:20

-Yes, dear?

-This has been a great Christmas so far.

0:48:200:48:25

It has?! Oh, I'm so relieved!

0:48:250:48:29

But maybe it doesn't have to be so great.

0:48:290:48:33

Maybe it could be a day where we just...relax.

0:48:330:48:37

Relax?! On Christmas?!

0:48:370:48:40

-You could sleep late.

-Hmm!

0:48:400:48:42

We don't have to call it Christmas. It could be our own holiday.

0:48:420:48:47

Baxter Day.

0:48:470:48:50

Check, please!

0:48:500:48:52

-Ohhh!

-Sorry!

0:48:550:48:58

David, you really outdid yourself this time.

0:49:060:49:11

I'm going to have to get a new belt!

0:49:110:49:14

This halva is delicious! I want to eat like this every Christmas.

0:49:140:49:19

-Pass the dates, Mom.

-I love this olive depitter.

0:49:190:49:24

Good news! The mechanic was able to fix the truck!

0:49:290:49:34

Looks like we're going to Florida after all!

0:49:340:49:38

-That was your present, wasn't it?

-But it was nicer coming from you.

0:49:430:49:48

Thanks, Uncle Fred. You were right - it was a good Christmas after all.

0:49:480:49:54

You don't always get what you want.

0:49:540:49:57

Sometimes you get something better.

0:49:570:50:00

All right! Let's get you two down to the garage.

0:50:000:50:04

ALL: Goodbye! Safe trip!

0:50:070:50:10

Bye-bye, Uncle Fred!

0:50:100:50:13

I love you!

0:50:130:50:15

So long, everyone!

0:50:150:50:18

Sorry!

0:50:210:50:23

Ohh! Like father like son!

0:50:270:50:30

It's snowing!

0:50:370:50:39

It's snowing!!

0:50:390:50:41

This HAS been a perfect Christmas!

and a history test on January 20th,

0:51:420:51:45

a geography quiz on February 1st!

0:51:450:51:48

It's going to be a great year!

0:51:480:51:51

How about that? Is that a UFO?

0:52:040:52:07

Mmm, no, that's just a satellite.

0:52:070:52:11

Happy Baxter Day, Mom!

0:52:110:52:14

# Sometimes the thing you hope for

0:52:170:52:22

# Isn't the thing you get

0:52:220:52:26

# But after today I just have to say

0:52:260:52:30

# This was the best Christmas yet. #

0:52:300:52:38

Arthur, come inside before you catch pew-monia!

0:52:390:52:44

-Do you still like Santa even though you didn't get what you wanted?

-Yes!

0:52:440:52:50

He knew that I would like Quackers better than Tina.

0:52:500:52:55

Look! I can even make him sing.

0:52:550:52:58

# Quick, quack, quatty-quack

0:52:580:53:01

# Squeeze my belly Squeeze my back... #

0:53:010:53:04

Oh, no!

# Quicky, quacky, doodly-doo... #

0:53:070:53:11

# Happy holidays, everyone!

0:53:140:53:17

# Quick, quack, quatty-quack... #
