02:30Merry Christmas.
02:39Goodbye. Merry Christmas.
02:42Now, Grandpa Baker was a believer through and through, and he had a wish that Christmas
02:47too.
02:48Not that Grandpa wanted anything for himself.
02:54Keep going, Mr. Baker. Don't stop here.
03:03Now, his wish was for his grandson, Billy. You see, Billy had a bit of a problem.
03:13What's the matter, Billy? Ain't you gonna sing?
03:16Yeah, he was singing. Silent night.
03:25Bucky and Buster Holder, how can you be so, so mean? Just because Billy can't talk doesn't mean he can't hear. He has ears, you know.
03:35Get out of here. Yeah, just get out of here. You, you bullies!
03:45Don't worry, Emily. I'll handle this. How'd you boys like to go caroling with us?
03:53My boys ain't going nowhere.
03:58Well, evening, Gus. Merry Christmas.
04:00You know we don't go in for that around here.
04:02But, Gus, don't you remember when I used to take you, Carolyn? You were just full of Christmas spirit then.
04:08That was before, and this is now. You'd best be getting on.
04:13No. I'll just get a star and we'll get on down the road. I'm sorry we bothered you.
04:37Hey, Buster. They done forgot their present.
04:41Merry Christmas.
04:44The way they acted, you'd think Mr. Holder and his boys hated Christmas.
04:50Bucky and Buster are meaner than snakes.
04:53I hope Santa Claus doesn't have anything left but dolls when he gets to their house.
05:02Well, he's gotta leave them something.
05:08Last stop, Emily.
05:09That was fun, huh, Billy?
05:12Singing Christmas songs.
05:13Well, not the singing part, Billy, but just being out on Christmas Eve.
05:22Night, Billy.
05:24Night, Mr. Baker.
05:30Merry Christmas to you too, Billy.
05:32Yep.
05:34Somehow, Emily always knew what Billy wanted to say.
05:48Hey, hey, hold your horse's ears.
05:50Hey, I reckon I'd best see what's going on inside the barn. You wanna come along and give me a hand?
06:05That's okay, son. I'll be in in a minute to tuck you in.
06:16What's all the commotion here?
06:18Maybe?
06:22I could call it staying.
06:24Hey.
06:25Let me in, guys.
06:27Let me in, guys.
06:36Well, would you just looky here.
06:39Looks like you got your Christmas present real early, Star.
06:43Boy, she's a real beaut.
06:51Yeah, Scarlet, you're a beauty, too.
06:57Oh, shucks, Mr. Smart.
07:01Can't have you two catching a chill now, can we?
07:10Yeah, I could patch up this old barn, but...
07:13just can't seem to patch up Billy.
07:27That's okay, Slim.
07:39It's the thought that counts.
07:41My friends, Merry Christmas.
07:43Oh, you're getting a little big for this.
07:56Either that or I'm getting too old.
08:01You know, Christmas on the farm was pretty simple.
08:08But in the city, simple was never enough for Aunt Agnes.
08:13Deck the halls with boughs of holly.
08:16Fa-la-la-la-la.
08:17La-la-la-la.
08:19Perfect.
08:26Perfect.
08:26Well, nearly perfect.
08:32Hmm.
08:33Candles?
08:35Candy?
08:37Tinsel?
08:39Something's missing.
08:42And you know what that is?
08:45A child.
08:47That's what.
08:48And we know just where to get one, don't we?
08:51When your brother died, you gave up all rights to your nephew.
08:56We haven't been able to find a legal loophole.
08:59You're my lawyer.
09:01I'm paying you big bucks to find a loophole.
09:03Actually, not that big a bucks.
09:06If I have to spend one more Christmas without you, Billy,
09:11I...
09:12I...
09:14I get what I want.
09:17You know, memories have a way of being good and bad.
09:24That old music box reminded Grandpa of his daughter Sarah
09:27and gave him the gumption to raise that little boy by himself.
09:32On the other hand, it brought up the night that Billy lost his voice.
09:36Oh!
09:54Oh!
09:57Oh!
10:02Oh, my God!
10:03Oh, my God!
10:05Doc, do you think Billy's going to be all right?
10:12I'm sorry. He may never talk again.
10:18Well, if anyone could prove that doctor wrong, it'd be Grandpa.
10:23He just refused to give up.
10:35Oh, oh, oh, oh.
11:05Oh.
11:15Around midnight, old ears tore out on a mission.
11:19Had to do with the secret legend of Santa Claus.
11:23You never heard of it, did you?
11:25Well, that's why they call it a secret.
11:31You see, the story goes that on this night,
11:33Santa brings the animals a very special gift.
11:43Whoa!
11:47I said whoa!
11:49Children aren't the only ones who get a gift from Santa.
11:56Let the talking begin.
12:04Merry Christmas.
12:06Merry Christmas, Santa!
12:09Mom, who is that?
12:13I'm Santa Claus.
12:16But the question is, who are you?
12:22Let's see now.
12:25Ah, you must be Annabelle.
12:29And right on schedule, too.
12:31Say, what's that on your lips, Slim?
12:34Huh?
12:36Oh, well, um, you ate my lunch, didn't you?
12:42I can't help it.
12:44I get so hungry.
12:46I'm a pig.
12:48But I promise, I'll start my diet right now.
12:51Tonight.
12:53Ears, old buddy.
12:54What's the scoop?
12:55You have asked the right person about what the scoop is,
12:58because I know what the scoop is.
13:00And the scoop is this.
13:03What was the question?
13:07I...
13:08I just can't seem to get this whole flying...
13:11I'm a...
13:12I think...
13:12Down!
13:16That's because flying is up.
13:19Don't worry, Oliver.
13:21You'll be flying with eagles in no time.
13:24Miss Scarlet.
13:26Looking lovely as ever, I see.
13:29You really think so?
13:31I bet you're just saying that.
13:33I'm not as young as I used to be, you know.
13:37Santa.
13:38I've got the best Christmas present ever.
13:42Yes, I'd say you do, Star.
13:45Now, where did she go?
13:46How come these cows have these things on their heads?
13:51But those aren't cows, Annabelle.
13:54They're my magic reindeer.
13:56They help me fly.
13:59Fly?
14:00Hmm?
14:01Flying is like taking a walk in the sky.
14:05It's how I get around the world so fast.
14:11Now, hold still now.
14:12There.
14:13Ha, ha.
14:14You're as pretty as a present.
14:16Well, I've got to go.
14:18Lots of youngsters depending on me.
14:21Enjoy the talking now.
14:24But remember, it's our secret.
14:29Oh!
14:32Merry Christmas, Santa!
14:36Merry Christmas!
14:38Merry Christmas!
14:46This time of year, in the cold of old December, songs of the past help us to remember.
15:03If you believe in the song inside you, you'll find a voice to sing.
15:13If you believe in your dreams to guide you, you can do anything.
15:21If you can open your heart, then you can start to be completely free.
15:28If you believe in yourself, it's easy to believe in me.
15:40Merry Christmas, ΡΡng my family to see him.
15:48Yes!
15:49Come on inside, honey.
15:52But I want to go with him.
15:54I want to fly, too.
15:57Well, sweetie, you'll have to talk to Santa about that.
16:01Is he coming back?
16:04Mm-hmm. Yes. Next year.
16:07Hmm. Good. Then I'll wait right here.
16:11Well, you know, a year is a very long time, young lady.
16:16Maybe you'd better wait inside the barn. At least that's my opinion.
16:21Maybe next time, Mama. Maybe next time I can ask Santa if I can fly, too. Please?
16:28Maybe so, honey. If you're real good.
16:45Cock-a-doodle-dow! Good morning, barnyard!
16:50Hey, this is Brewster the Rooster coming right at you, saying hi to all my lovely little chickies out there.
16:58I...
16:59Mama? Has it been a year yet?
17:05No, dear. It's barely been one day.
17:11Oh, boy. Not gonna start my diet today. I'll start my diet tomorrow. I'll tell them I'll start my diet...
17:16I gotta remember. Thang is up. Straight up. Up.
17:19That Christmas morning was packed with surprises.
17:21Some pleasant. Some not so pleasant.
17:26Whoever scheduled Christmas for this time of year should have their head examined.
17:30It should be in July, when there's no snow and everything's on sale.
17:36Agnes.
17:36William, darling, give your auntie a big kiss.
17:54So, sweetie, tell me all about yourself.
17:59Oh, that's right, you told me. Oh, um, well, how are you doing in school?
18:07Hmm. Well, never mind. We can discuss that later.
18:09But look what auntie has brought for you.
18:12Ah.
18:15Open your presents, sweetie.
18:16Oh, and this is for you, Charles.
18:21Merry Christmas.
18:22They're imported bonbons from Paris.
18:24You know, France.
18:26Truth be told, aunt Agnes was about as interested in Billy as he was in that silly bunch of presents she brought.
18:35But another present caught his eye.
18:43What you got there?
18:45Look outside.
18:46It was love at first link.
19:09Let's see here.
19:10Her name is Annabelle.
19:12Take good care of her.
19:14Love Santa Claus.
19:16You gave him a cow for Christmas?
19:24Nope.
19:25It was Santa Claus.
19:26You're teaching the boy to believe in that fantasy?
19:31Ain't nothing wrong with a little believing after what he's been through.
19:35Exactly.
19:36This dreadful farm is a constant reminder of that horrible fire.
19:39This farm just isn't safe, let alone for a boy who can't talk.
19:44Oh, Agnes.
19:46Billy followed Annabelle right into the barn without even thinking about it.
19:50But when he saw where he was, he was scared to death.
20:00Bless you.
20:05Look, all I said was bless you.
20:13Oh, the cat's out of the bag.
20:15Oh, man, the cat blew it.
20:18Oh, boy, Santa's gonna be mad.
20:21That's bad. That's really bad.
20:24Where's William? He's in that hideous barn, isn't he?
20:28Isn't he?
20:31Shh, now, now, they're coming.
20:33Now, just give them the usual.
20:35Billy, you okay?
20:42This is no way to raise a child.
20:45Not in front of the boy, Agnes.
20:47Fine. Let's go inside, then, before I take on the stench of these filthy animals.
20:56Nope, not me.
20:58P-U.
21:01Oh, caca.
21:03Don't you stand there and...
21:09I'm coming, Agnes.
21:11You okay here, Billy?
21:12I'm gonna take care of that old bitty once and for all.
21:15What is causing...
21:20I'll hear that.
21:25Now, now, now, hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it down just a doggone minute now.
21:30Now, it's true that we're not supposed to talk in front of humans,
21:33but I guarantee it'll be okay if it doesn't go any further.
21:39Now, Billy's not gonna tell anyone.
21:41Well, at least that's my opinion.
21:44Yeah, he won't say anything.
21:46Will ya, Billy?
21:48You won't, will you?
21:50Annabelle, honey, dear, you see, Billy can't talk.
21:57I'll come right to the point.
22:07I'm worried about William's welfare.
22:12Billy's farin' just fine, Agnes.
22:15Well, ever since my dear brother, rest his soul,
22:18and that daughter of yours were...
22:21lost,
22:22I worried myself sick over little William.
22:24was to become of that poor, pathetic little child.
22:31Pathetic?
22:32Didn't you see how happy he was?
22:34And he's not afraid of the barn anymore, thanks to Annabelle.
22:38Oh.
22:39Oh, and that bovine...
22:41with that bow...
22:43why,
22:43that's the silliest thing I've ever seen.
22:47The boy doesn't need a cow, he needs a doctor.
22:51Doc Taylor says there's nothing he can do.
22:54Doc Taylor, that boy needs real doctors,
22:56not some country hick
22:57who treats pigs as well as people.
23:01Of course.
23:05Of course.
23:08You agree
23:09that I can give him the best
23:11that money can buy.
23:12Why now, Agnes?
23:16You had your chance
23:17and you didn't want him.
23:19Well,
23:19I changed my mind.
23:21I'll make the perfect,
23:24the perfect mother.
23:26William will be much better off
23:28with me
23:28in this city.
23:29The answer
23:30is no.
23:32No.
23:33N-O.
23:34You're not
23:35gettin' Billy.
23:36We'll see about that.
23:38You've not heard the last from me?
23:40I have lawyers,
23:42you know.
23:43I don't want to hear from her
23:46the first time
23:47wouldn't hear the last from me.
23:49I never liked her to begin with.
23:51But that's just my opinion.
23:55You like my ribbon?
23:56Santa gave it to me.
23:58Santa's got these cows
23:59with those things on their heads.
24:00I think that he called them
24:01reindeers.
24:04Reindeers?
24:06You know they can fly?
24:07I'm gonna learn to fly, too.
24:09I'm gonna ask Santa
24:10next time I see him.
24:13That's gonna be my wish.
24:22What you doing, Billy?
24:23Want to see what I got
24:25for Christmas?
24:27Wow!
24:28Where'd you get the calf?
24:30She's so cute!
24:32Oh, I get it.
24:33You're pretending
24:34she's a reindeer, huh?
24:41Great!
24:42I've got the sled.
24:43Uh, I mean, sleigh.
24:45Want to be an elf, Billy?
24:48I've decided I want to be the elf,
24:50so you have to be Santa Claus.
24:51I hope that's okay with you.
24:55Emily always knew
24:56what Billy wanted.
24:58Sometimes I'd swear
24:59she knew it before he did.
25:00With his new friend,
25:03Annabelle,
25:04this would be a Christmas
25:05Billy would never forget.
25:11Hey, wait up, you guys!
25:13Wait for me!
25:15Slow down!
25:16I think I just flew.
25:38Really?
25:39It felt like it.
25:40Yes, it was...
25:41Yes, I think so.
25:45Uh, uh, there's trouble here.
25:47There's trouble, definitely.
25:48Hey, Bucky!
25:49Will you use your
25:50with his new...
25:51What is that?
25:54I don't know,
25:55but they done
25:56busted our fence!
25:57Hey, what's going on
25:58out here?
26:01Pa?
26:02We caught him
26:03on our property!
26:05You did, did you?
26:06Yeah, and they busted
26:08our fence!
26:09Thought maybe
26:10we should learn
26:11him a lesson.
26:12You did, did you?
26:14Hmm.
26:15Nice looking calf.
26:20Take your calf
26:21and your dog
26:22and get!
26:23Are we in trouble?
26:25Shh!
26:26No, no, no.
26:26Just don't look back.
26:28Wonder how the old man
26:29can afford to feed
26:30the little heifer.
26:32Hmm.
26:32Maybe I should
26:35pay old man Baker
26:36a visit
26:37and collect
26:38on the damages
26:39his little heifer
26:40just done.

30:25Nope,
30:26the antlers

30:29just been a dream.
30:35When Annabelle
30:36didn't talk,
30:37Billy began to
30:38wonder if he'd
30:39been dreaming too.
30:40Sheriff,
30:47Gus,
30:47is there a problem?
30:49Well,
30:50yes,
30:50Charlie,
30:50I'm afraid
30:51there is.
30:52Seems your
30:52grandson,
30:53that new
30:53calf of his
30:54caused some
30:54damage over
30:55to the
30:55holder place.
30:56Tore down
30:56a fence.
30:57Well,
30:58Gus,
30:58I'm right sorry
30:59about that.
31:00I'll pay for
31:01the damages.
31:02You know
31:02I'm good for it.
31:04Don't give me
31:04that,
31:05Charlie.
31:05You and I
31:06both know
31:06you don't have
31:07the money.
31:08But,
31:08Gus,
31:08I...
31:09That's why
31:09I'm not
31:10asking for
31:10money.
31:11I'll just
31:12take that
31:13young cow
31:14of yours
31:14instead.
31:16Go get her,
31:16boys.
31:19Wait a minute.
31:19He can't do
31:20that.
31:21Can he?
31:22Uh,
31:23yeah,
31:23I'm afraid
31:24so,
31:24Charlie.
31:25Heck,
31:25Charlie,
31:26I'm doing
31:26you a favor.
31:27Don't know
31:28how you
31:28could afford
31:28to feed her
31:29anyway.
31:30I'll tell
31:30you what,
31:31Charlie,
31:31if you can
31:32raise the
31:32money in
31:3224 hours,
31:34I'll make
31:34sure you
31:34get that
31:35boy's
31:35calf back.
31:36Well,
31:36thanks,
31:37but I just
31:38don't know
31:38where I'd
31:39get it.
31:42Let's go!
31:45Come on,
31:46you stupid cow!
31:47What am I
32:08going to do
32:09here?
32:09remember?
32:20It was
32:20Sarah's
32:21most
32:21treasured
32:22possession.
32:24Oh,
32:24how she
32:25loved
32:25this
32:26old
32:26music
32:26box.
32:27morning,
32:41Charlie.
32:41Thought I'd
32:42stop by
32:43and see
32:43how you're
32:43doing.
32:44How's
32:45the boy?
32:45Uh,
32:47you know,
32:48old buddy,
32:48if I had
32:49the money,
32:49I'd give
32:50it to you.
32:50I know
32:51you would.
32:52I know
32:52you would,
32:53but I
32:54think I've
32:54solved the
32:54problem.
32:55What are
32:55you gonna
32:56do?
32:56Well,
32:57I've
32:57decided you
32:58can't hang
32:59on to
32:59some things
32:59forever,
33:00and Billy
33:01really needs
33:02Annabelle.
33:03Listen,
33:03when I get
33:04the money,
33:04will you
33:05arrange to
33:05get her
33:05back for
33:05me?
33:06Oh,
33:06you bet
33:07you,
33:07Charlie,
33:08it'd be
33:08my pleasure.
33:08so,
33:13grandpa did
33:15what he
33:15had to
33:16do.
33:17He sold
33:18the music
33:18box,
33:19and he
33:21got
33:21Annabelle
33:21back.
33:23He just
33:24knew some
33:25friends shouldn't
33:25be separated.
33:27Spring is
33:28on the
33:28hillside,
33:30the sky's
33:32an easy
33:32blue.
33:33it's a
33:35perfect time
33:36for all
33:37those things
33:38that we
33:39both love
33:41to do.
33:42Like taking
33:44walks and
33:45having talks,
33:47or staring
33:48at the
33:49stars,
33:51while slowly
33:52we discover
33:54what we want
33:56and who
33:57we are.

34:39Summer is
34:41a daydream

34:47Whatever we
34:49can dream
34:50of is
34:52something we
34:53can be.

35:20A friend
35:21is someone
35:22you can
35:23turn to
35:24when the

36:38Grandpa was
36:39right.
36:39Over that
36:40year,
36:40Annabelle,
36:41Billy,
36:41and Emily
36:42couldn't be
36:43pulled apart.
36:45How come
36:46you only
36:46hang out
36:47with girls
36:47and cows?
36:50Huh,
36:51Billy?
36:51How come?
36:52Why don't
36:53you leave
36:53him alone?
36:54Why don't
36:55you let
36:55Billy stick
36:56up for
36:56himself?
36:57Oh,
36:57I forgot.
36:59He can't
36:59talk.
37:00You're just
37:01jealous because
37:01you don't
37:02have any
37:02friends.
37:04Stay
37:04out of
37:05this,
37:05Emily.
37:09talking just
37:15wasn't
37:16required for
37:16the kind
37:17of friendship
37:17they had.
37:21Pa,
37:22remember
37:22that cow
37:23Billy got
37:23for Christmas?
37:25It's
37:25dangerous,
37:26Pa.
37:27Attacked us
37:27for no reason
37:28at all.
37:29Yeah,
37:29we aren't
37:30doing nothing,
37:32were you,
37:32Bucky?
37:32We were
37:34just minding
37:35our own
37:35business.
37:36Right,
37:37Pucky?
37:38You gonna
37:39call the
37:39sheriff,
37:40Pa?
37:41Hmm.
37:44My boys
37:45don't
37:45lie.
37:46Gus,
37:47their store
37:47is not
37:48exactly how
37:49it happened.
37:50The bus
37:50driver witnessed
37:51the whole
37:51incident.
37:53Boys,
37:54get in
37:55your room
37:56right now.
37:57I'll deal
37:57with you
37:57later.
37:58But,
37:58but,
37:59but,
37:59Pa!
38:00Don't
38:00you sass
38:01me.
38:02What's
38:04gotten into
38:05you,
38:05Gus?
38:06You become
38:06a miserable
38:07old Scrooge,
38:08and it shows
38:08in the way
38:09you're bringing
38:09up those
38:10two boys.
38:11Did you ever
38:11wonder where
38:12Charlie got
38:12the money
38:13to pay
38:13for Annabelle?
38:15Well,
38:15I'll tell
38:15you,
38:16that music
38:17box his
38:17daughter loved
38:18so much,
38:19sold it
38:20to an
38:20antique
38:21dealer in
38:21town.
38:23Sad.
38:24Lots
38:24of memories
38:25were in
38:25that box.
38:26It's still
38:27there,
38:27Gus.
38:28And you,
38:29of all
38:30people,
38:31should know
38:31what it's
38:31like to lose
38:32a loved
38:32one.
38:35This had
38:35better be
38:36good news.
38:38I believe
38:39I've discovered
38:40our loophole.
38:42Wonderful!
38:44You finally
38:45earned your
38:46big bucks.
38:47The kid's
38:48all yours.
38:49You'll have
38:50him by
38:50Christmas.
38:53You know,
38:54the trouble
38:54with patience
38:55is when you're
38:56waiting for
38:56something to
38:57happen,
38:58time just
38:58seems to
38:59slow down.
39:00But wishes
39:01are worth
39:02waiting for,
39:03no matter
39:04how long
39:04it takes
39:05or what
39:06gets in
39:06your way.
39:13What are
39:14you up to
39:14now,
39:15Agnes?
39:16I've come
39:16to take
39:17William,
39:17and I have
39:18no time
39:19to dawdle.
39:19Over my
39:20dead body?
39:22Hmm?
39:23Unfortunately,
39:24that won't be
39:24necessary.
39:25This court
39:25order gives me
39:26legal custody
39:27of William.
39:28What?
39:29I don't
39:30believe it.
39:31It's all
39:31right there,
39:32Charles.
39:33The judge
39:34agreed with
39:34me that
39:35William is
39:36in grave
39:37danger on
39:37this farm,
39:38and I shall
39:39have custody
39:39of him until
39:40which time
39:41he can speak.
39:43And there's
39:44not much
39:44chance of
39:45that happening,
39:46is there?
39:47That's
39:47ridiculous!
39:49It's
39:49tight as a
39:50drum.
39:50If you give
39:51me any
39:51trouble,
39:52I shall
39:52call the
39:53authorities.
39:53William,
39:55my dear
39:56boy,

39:57Aunt Agnes.
39:59Oh,

40:57Well, let's see, and a haircut
40:58My automobile, my beautiful automobile
41:02Oh, you had something to do with this, didn't you, Charles?
41:06Oh, and don't deny it, you senile old coot
41:09Well, it won't change a thing
41:11Get me a tow truck, immediately
41:14Well, it's Christmas Eve, Agnes

41:27Well, I'm afraid that's the best I can do
41:30At least Billy and I'll have one last Christmas together
41:37Only part of one, Charles
41:40We will be leaving in the morning
41:42One way or another

42:29I could ask you for a special wish
42:31I've been really good
42:35Well, okay
42:37What's your wish?
42:41Okay
42:42Oh, that's a pretty big wish
42:46Have you really thought about this?
42:48She's thought of nothing else, Santa
42:52All year long
42:53Then you're sure this is what you want?
42:57Absolutely
42:58It's what I want
43:01I've arranged for transportation
43:15We'll be leaving shortly
43:16Be careful with my automobile, you oaf

43:24Huh?

43:36Go ahead, open it
43:41There's nothing in here
43:44Grandpa!
43:46I...

43:48Billy!
43:49You're talking!
43:51You're talking!
43:53I heard that
43:54Is that don't beat all?
43:57Grandpa?
43:59Why are you crying?
44:01Oh, these are happy tears, Billy
44:03It's the best Christmas present I ever heard
44:07Make your goodbyes and we'll be on our way
44:12Billy is not going anywhere with you, Agnes
44:16Oh, yes he is
44:17You want to tell her, Billy?
44:19I love my grandpa
44:22What did you say?

44:49It's Christmas
44:51I know you can talk
44:53Whoa
44:54What's wrong with her?
44:57Is she sick?
44:58Annabelle's just fine, Billy
45:00You see, she gave her Christmas voice to you
45:03She'll never talk again
45:06But, but what about your dream to fly?
45:10That was going to be a wish
45:11No, Billy
45:13To hear you talk
45:14That was Annabelle's wish
45:16Oh, Annabelle
45:18Gus, what are you doing here?
45:23Me and my boys here owe you and your boy an apology
45:27Go ahead
45:28We're, uh, sorry
45:31Yeah, real sorry
45:34I know we ain't been too neighborly here lately, but, well
45:38When I heard you sold your daughter's music box, I
45:42Well, I was ashamed
45:44I kind of thought you might like to have this back
45:48Well, thank you, Gus
45:49You know, this means more to me than you'll ever know
45:53Take those hats off, boys
45:58There's a lady present
45:59Gus Holder, ma'am
46:05You're not leaving, are you?
46:07Well, actually, Charles was just insisting that I stay for Christmas dinner
46:14Dinner?
46:17Won't you join us?
46:19Why, that's mighty nice of you, ma'am
46:21And, uh, will, uh, Mrs. Holder, uh, be joining us?
46:25Yeah, uh, there is no Mrs. Holder, ma'am
46:29Really?
46:30Oh, what adorable boys
46:33As usual, Aunt Agnes got what she wanted
46:36And the Holder boys got what they deserved
46:39Many Christmases had come and gone
46:43And the old place hadn't changed much over the years
46:47Emily and I got married
46:50And Annabelle became a grand old lady
46:54Are you coming, Billy?
47:00I'll be there in a bit, Emily
47:01You know I like to visit the animals on Christmas Eve
47:04Honestly, Billy
47:06You act as if those animals can talk to you
47:08How do you know they can't?
47:11I wish you could tell her, old gal
47:13If I could see Santa, you know what I'd wish
47:16Remember when we were kids?
47:32Annabelle?
47:34I'm really worried about Annabelle
47:36Go back to sleep, Emily
47:39I'm gonna go outside and check on her
47:40I'm gonna go outside and check on her
47:43I'm gonna go outside and check on her
48:03Annabelle!
48:23Annabelle!
48:33Annabelle!
48:59Annabelle!
49:01Annabelle!
49:09Oh no!
49:31Annabelle!
49:39Annabelle!
49:41Annabelle!
49:45I've been looking all over for you!
49:49I never forgot what you did for Billy years ago!
49:53And you never expected anything in return!
49:57Hmm...
50:05Something's missing here!
50:07Oh, Annabelle!
50:17You look pretty as a present!
50:19Do you remember your dream, Annabelle?
