0:27:54 > 0:27:58The original ol' blue eyes is back.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03I never thought I'd see Jack Benny as Santa Claus. Never!
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Well, I'm a changed man, Perry,
0:28:05 > 0:28:10ever since the President told the whole country to be cheap.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Imagine, after these years,
0:28:13 > 0:28:16misers are where it's at!
0:28:16 > 0:28:17LAUGHTER
0:28:18 > 0:28:21You're really fighting inflation, huh, Jack?
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Well, it's given me a whole new mortgage on life.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28And with the shortage on pennies,
0:28:28 > 0:28:32I've even started pinching girls again.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36You won't believe this, Perry. Try to keep a straight face.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39You won't believe this, Perry, but on...

0:28:42 > 0:28:46I'm giving a bottle of perfume to every girl in the store.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50That's unbelievable. Do you realise how many girls are in the store?
0:28:50 > 0:28:55What's the difference? They'll still have to share the one bottle.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57LAUGHTER
0:28:57 > 0:29:01- Hi, Karen, Richard. - Gosh, if it isn't the Carpenters!

0:33:46 > 0:33:48APPLAUSE

0:34:10 > 0:34:13# Close to you
0:34:15 > 0:34:20# On the day that you were born the angels got together
0:34:20 > 0:34:24# And decided to create a dream come true
0:34:25 > 0:34:29# So they sprinkled moonlight in your hair of gold
0:34:29 > 0:34:32# And starlight in your eyes of blue. #
0:34:35 > 0:34:39# It's impossible
0:34:39 > 0:34:48# Tell the sun to leave the sky It's just impossible
0:34:49 > 0:34:52# It's impossible
0:34:52 > 0:35:01# Ask a baby not to cry It's just impossible
0:35:02 > 0:35:05# And tomorrow
0:35:05 > 0:35:11# Should you ask me for the world, somehow I'd get it
0:35:11 > 0:35:18# I would sell my very soul and not regret it
0:35:18 > 0:35:24- BOTH: - # For to live without your love is just impossible. #
0:35:28 > 0:35:32# Sharing horizons that are new to us
0:35:34 > 0:35:38# Watching the signs along the way
0:35:40 > 0:35:43# Talkin' it over, just the two of us
0:35:46 > 0:35:50# Working together, day to day
0:35:51 > 0:35:54# Together
0:35:56 > 0:35:59# And when the evening comes
0:36:00 > 0:36:04# We smile
0:36:06 > 0:36:11# So much of life ahead
0:36:12 > 0:36:17# We'll find a place where there's room to go
0:36:18 > 0:36:22# And yes, we've just begun
0:36:25 > 0:36:29# We've only just begun. #
0:36:29 > 0:36:41# And yes, I know how lonely life can be
0:36:41 > 0:36:46# The shadows follow me
0:36:46 > 0:36:52# And the night won't set me free
0:36:54 > 0:37:03# But I don't let the evening get me down
0:37:05 > 0:37:13# Now that you're around me. #
0:37:16 > 0:37:18# Don't let the stars get in your eyes
0:37:18 > 0:37:21# Don't let the moon break your heart
0:37:21 > 0:37:23# Don't let the moon break your heart
0:37:23 > 0:37:26# Love blooms at night In daylight, it dies
0:37:26 > 0:37:28# Don't let the stars get in your eyes
0:37:28 > 0:37:31# So keep your heart for me For some day I'll return
0:37:31 > 0:37:34# And you know you're the only one I'll ever love
0:37:34 > 0:37:36# He'll ever love
0:37:36 > 0:37:39# I'll ever love. #
0:37:41 > 0:37:46# Every sha-la-la-la Every who-o-o-oah
0:37:46 > 0:37:49# Still shines

0:38:10 > 0:38:15- # Some can even make me cry - Oooh

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