00:00...commercial gift brought to you commercial-free from all of us at Ocean Spray.
00:04It is one of our favorite stories.
00:06Oh, by the way, here. I got you a little something.
00:09Oh, thanks. That's so nice.
00:11Uh, I got you something, too.
00:14Oh, thank you.
00:19You shouldn't have.
00:30You shouldn't have.
01:00Oh, thank you.
01:29When the beautiful fall leaves color the countryside, everyone knows that the time has come for the annual cranberry harvest.
01:37And the cranberry growers gather their berries for Thanksgiving celebrations everywhere.
01:42But their work is far from over because as autumn turns to winter, people everywhere prepare their tables for yet another great feast, the Christmas feast.
01:53And so, as jack frost blows and the air grows cold, the bog freezes over to protect its precious vines.
02:05Now, thoughts of the harvest give way to the pleasures of winter.
02:10And in the little town of cranberry port, as in towns and villages the world over, that can only mean one thing.
02:19Christmas is just around the corner.
02:27Christmas is just around the corner.
02:44to do. I bet you'll never believe it when you see what I got you. What did you get me? Christmas
02:55is just around the corner. Candles are glowing everywhere.
03:07Can't wait until that night, reindeer appear. Christmas, I've been waiting all year. Christmas, time to dream the tree. Christmas, can it really be Christmas?
03:35Christmas, yes, it's finally here.
03:52My, don't these Christmas tree cookies look good? What shape shall we use next? You choose, Maggie.
03:59Hmm, they all make such beautiful cookies. I don't know which one to pick.
04:03Get off my pond, you beastly brats.
04:07Oh, no. Here we go again.
04:10Oh, dear.
04:11If I told you kids once, I've told you a thousand times. No, skating on my pond.
04:21Uh-oh. Here comes old man Gray. We better run, boy.
04:25You better run, you little runs. Because when I get my hands on...
04:30Uh-oh.
04:33Uh-oh.
04:34Whoa-oh.
04:37Ow.
04:38He looks hurt.
04:39Oh, this is bad.
04:40He feels alive.
04:41Oh, kids. I hate kids.
04:46Are you hurt, Mr. Grape?
04:49I said, are you hurt, Mr. Grape?
04:55I'll be very well indeed when you get off my pond.
05:00You mean bog, don't you, Grape? My bog.
05:03Now, look here, Whiskers. If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times, this is my pond, and you, sir, are trespassing.
05:17And that goes for all of you.
05:19Now, shoo!
05:20And, as I've told you two thousand times, Mr. Grape, this most certainly is not a pond.
05:27This is a bog, a cranberry bog, and it is my cranberry bog.
05:34Balderdash!
05:35Balderdash, indeed.
05:36My father grew cranberries from this bog before me, and his father before him.
05:42So, I will thank you to leave my property at once.
05:46I will do no such thing.
05:47You know very well that this pond belongs to me.
05:51Now, remove yourself, sir, or I shall have no choice but to bring the sheriff to do the job.
05:57Gentlemen, stop this arguing at once.
06:00Uh-oh.
06:01I will have no more of this bickering.
06:04Imagine, it's almost Christmas Eve, and this is the way you behave.
06:08But he...
06:09But nothing, sir.
06:10Why, it's positively shameful.
06:13Yes, ma'am.
06:14Now, why don't each of you enjoy a cranberry cookie while we discuss this matter like adults?
06:20Hmm.
06:21I don't mind if I do.
06:23I hate cookies.
06:24And now, if you would all just leave my pond...
06:28Bog!
06:28Pond!
06:29Bog!
06:30Pond!
06:31Bog!
06:31Enough!
06:32This must be settled once and for all.
06:35Now, each of you will return to your home and search your papers for the deed to your property.
06:41Then we shall see just who is the rightful owner of this bog.
06:46Pond.
06:47Have I made myself clear, gentlemen?
06:50Yes.
06:51Yes, ma'am.
06:52Very well.
06:53Come now, Maggie.
06:54Bye-bye, Mr. Whiskers.
06:56Goodbye, Maggie.
06:57Goodbye, Mr. Grape.
07:00Goodbye, indeed!
07:02The deed!
07:02Come on, you.
07:04Come on, you.
07:04You're kidding.
07:06Ah!
07:11Fix this.
07:12Ah, there we go.
07:17Ah.
07:18Home, sweet home.
07:20Now, where did I put that deed?
07:23Oh, boulders, Dash!
07:29Not a word of it anywhere!
07:31What am I to do?
07:32If the pond is not mentioned in my deed, is it possible that Whiskers might find mention of it in his own papers?
07:40Why, that would be disaster!
07:41Why, that would be a disaster!
07:44With no claim to the pond, I'd never know a moment's peace on a winter's day.
07:50Children skating and laughing, day and night, night and day, it's, it's unthinkable!
08:00Of course, if Whiskers were unable to locate his deed, then he could not claim the pond as his own.
08:10Yes!
08:11That's it!
08:12I'll see to it that Whiskers shall never locate his deed.
08:17Nobody is going to take my pond, or my name isn't Cyrus Grape!
08:24Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
08:26Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
08:29Yeah!
08:30Oh, dear, think, Whiskers, think!
08:39Now, if you were me, where would you have put those papers?
08:44I...
08:45Oh, wait!
08:46I...
08:46I am me!
08:49And I still don't know where they are.
08:53Hmm!
08:53Now that just might be the answer!
08:56Oh, yes, yes, I'm...
08:58I'm quite sure I placed the papers inside the...
09:02What was it?
09:07Ouch!
09:10Oh, this is too easy!
09:14How could anyone find anything in that mess?
09:18What's this?
09:21Oh, it's that confounded girl!
09:27Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the...
09:35Hmm, I didn't know Mr. Whiskers liked to build snowmen.
09:39Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm.
09:40Come in!
09:46Ah-choo!
09:50Boulder Dash!
09:52Hi, Mr. Whiskers!
09:53I thought I'd drop by and see how...
09:56Wow, what happened?
09:59Hmm?
09:59Oh, it's nothing.
10:01I'm just looking to find something, that's all.
10:04What are you looking for? Maybe I can help.
10:06Well, it seems I can't find the deed to my property anywhere.
10:12And if I can't find the deed,
10:14I don't know how to prove that the skating bog belongs to me.
10:17And if I can't prove the bog belongs to me,
10:21well, it's all just too horrible to consider.
10:26There! Do you think that's what you're looking for?
10:29What's this? Oh, no.
10:31It can't be. It mustn't be.
10:35Maybe that is the very paper you're looking for, Mr. Whiskers.
10:39Why, maybe it isn't that.
10:43Oh, no. I'm afraid it's only a letter.
10:48Don't you think you should read it?
10:51I'm sorry, read it?
10:53Well, if you think I should, let me see.
10:57Oh, it's from my sister who lives in the city.
11:01Well, go ahead and open it, silly.
11:03Yes. Yes.
11:04Let me see.
11:05It says, ah, ah, here you are.
11:08Dear brother, that would be me.
11:10I'm writing to bring you good news.
11:13Oh, I will be coming to visit you for Christmas.
11:17I arrive on Christmas Eve and do so hope to see you at the train's...
11:23Christmas Eve? But that's tonight.
11:25Oh, oh, this is a problem.
11:29Why, to think that my sister would only give me a few hours' notice of her visit?
11:35Actually, Mr. Whiskers, your sister mailed this letter to you two months ago.
11:42She did?
11:43Oh, well, that would explain it, wouldn't it?
11:47I, um, I suppose I should read my mail from time to time.
11:51Does she say anything else?
11:53Well, let me see.
11:56Oh, my.
11:57What is it, Mr. Whiskers?
11:59Well, it seems my sister found my home to be a bit, um, untidy the last time she visited.
12:07Now, why do you imagine she would say a thing like that?
12:13What else does she say?
12:15Well, she says that if I can't take better care of my home,
12:18maybe the time has come for me to move in with her,
12:22so she can better look after me.
12:25Move in with your sister?
12:27But she lives in the city!
12:31Oh, oh, dear.
12:33Ah, that, that is outrageous!
12:36I could no more move to the city
12:38than I could stop eating Granny's cranberry cookies
12:41and celebrating Christmas!
12:43Oh, no.
12:44Oh, no, no.
12:45This is bad.
12:45This is very, very bad.
12:49A stroke of good fortune.
12:53With Whiskers off living in the city,
12:55there would be nobody left to challenge my ownership of the pond.
13:00Bog.
13:02Now, let me see
13:05if I can assure that Whiskers' sister
13:09finds a very untidy home upon her arrival.
13:13Then the pond...
13:15That's right.
13:16I said pond.
13:18The pond will be mine forever!
13:27Here, Mr. Whiskers, have a cookie.
13:30It always makes you feel better.
13:31Oh, no, Maggie.
13:33I'm much too upset to even consider eating.
13:40Maybe just one.
13:41I suppose I must keep up my strength
13:44during these trying times.
13:48Oh, thank you, Maggie.
13:57I simply don't know what all the fuss is about.
14:01But, Granny,
14:02Mr. Whiskers' sister wants to take him away
14:04to live in the city.
14:06Only because he refuses to clean up that mess of a house he lives in.
14:10But I don't want to live in the city.
14:13Then I suggest you grab him up and get to work.
14:16You know, clean the place up.
14:23Of course.
14:24If your sister arrives to find a sparkling clean home,
14:27there will be no reason to take you to the city.
14:29Really?
14:30Yes, I think I see.
14:34We'll simply clean my house.
14:39Haven't you ever cleaned your house before, Mr. Whiskers?
14:42Why, of course I have.
14:44I sweep it once a year,
14:46whether it needs it or not.
14:48So, that's his plan, huh?
14:55Ah, not if Cyrus Grape has anything to say about it.
14:58By the time I'm finished,
15:00there won't be much of a house left to clean.
15:04Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
15:13What is there to say about that Mr. Grape?
15:16Only he's a meanie of a man
15:20Nasty as a blister is that Mr. Great
15:24Better to avoid if you can
15:28Watch out for Mr. Great
15:32When he comes onto the scene
15:36No doubt that sour grapes
15:40Will go and do something mean
15:44Don't mess with Mr. Great
15:48Or what he's scheming about
15:52He will put you in a pickle and there's no escape
15:56What a stinker
15:59Uh-oh
16:03Watch out for Mr. Great
16:06I'm really quite excited about our little project
16:16I'm afraid the project might not be so little anymore
16:20Oh my
16:27Oh, Grape
16:29That's right
16:34Whiskers
16:36Cyrus Grape at your service
16:38And I do so hope you enjoy your new home
16:42In the city
16:44Hey, hey, watch it
16:51Oh dear
16:56When my sister sees this
16:58She will most certainly take me to the city to live with her
17:02And the children will have no place to skate
17:07Don't worry, Mr. Whiskers
17:08We'll think of something
17:10Right, Granny?
17:11It seems to me
17:12That if Mr. Whiskers really wants to remain in Cranberry Port
17:16He would not be giving up quite so easily
17:20But, Madam
17:21It would take a miracle to repair my home by Christmas Eve
17:25How do you imagine it could be done?
17:28Oh
17:28Oh
17:29Sorry
17:30I'm afraid it can't
17:33Because
17:33Wait for it
17:36Wait for it
17:38Come on
17:39And that should just about do it
17:45My job here is complete
17:47And I shall be on my way
17:50Is everyone all right?
17:58I...
17:58I think so
18:00Well then
18:01I suppose I'd best begin packing my bags
18:04What's this?
18:07I don't know
18:09It must have fallen out of the floorboards
18:11Hmm
18:14Official paper
18:15I wonder if...
18:16Well, are we going to lollygag about?
18:19Or are we going to get to work?
18:21But my sister will be here in just a few hours
18:23It simply cannot be done
18:25I'm afraid it's the city for me
18:28Come on, Mr. Whiskers
18:30It's Christmas
18:31Anything can happen at Christmas
18:33See?
18:35The Christmas tree is still standing
18:37Anything can happen
18:38Well
18:39I suppose so, my dear
18:41But it's going to take a miracle
18:44A Christmas miracle
18:46Ah, well then
18:49Here we are
18:50Home sweet home
18:53We'll see about that
18:54Hopefully your house is in better condition
18:57Than when last I visited
18:58Yes
18:59I certainly hope it is
19:01Why, it's...
19:09It's a miracle
19:10Did you say something, brother?
19:12Oh, no
19:13Nothing
19:13Nothing at all
19:14So
19:15How do you like my house?
19:18My goodness, brother
19:20It's positively festive
19:22Why, thank you, sister
19:25Of course
19:26We've yet to see the inside
19:28Shall we go in?
19:29The inside
19:30Yes, yes
19:32I suppose we shall
19:34Let me see if I can get this thing
19:40Never
19:41Ah, there we go
19:43Oh, my goodness
19:48My brother
19:50It's...
19:51It's beautiful
19:52Yes
19:54Yes, it actually is
19:56Isn't it?
19:57What was that?
20:00Uh, I didn't hear anything
20:02Well then, brother
20:03I think it's time we discussed your future living arrangements
20:07Now, wait
20:08You've just said my house looks beautiful
20:11There is no reason for you to take me to the city
20:14Who said anything about taking you to the city?
20:18I think you should stay right here
20:20In fact, your house is so beautiful
20:26I believe I shall move in here with you
20:30No children
20:43What is that confounded noise?
20:50Oh, this will not do
20:54This will not do at all
20:57Set off my pond
20:59Look
21:00Here we go again
21:02What are you little trespassers looking at?
21:11Now get off my pond this instant
21:13Or I'll have you all removed by the sheriff
21:16Not so fast, Grape
21:18Sheriff
21:20I demand you arrest these trespassers
21:23All of them
21:25And why would I do that, Mr. Grape?
21:27Because they are trespassing on my property
21:30I don't believe you've proven that this is your property, Mr. Grape
21:35And neither have you, Mr. Whiskers
21:38What's that, dear?
21:40Oh, um, yes, I believe I do have that here somewhere
21:44Ah, yes, here it is
21:46Ahem, let me see
21:48Ah, here we go
21:49Well, as the party of the first part
21:51That's me
21:51Ipso facto
21:53What is all this nonsense?
21:56Sheriff, do your job
21:57Aha, here it is
22:00That moment, Sheriff
22:01You might wish to have a look at this
22:03According to this piece of paper
22:05This cranberry bog belongs to Mr. Whiskers
22:08So it would seem it is you who is trespassing, Mr. Grape
22:11You see, I...
22:12What?
22:12That's ridiculous
22:14There's no way Whiskers could have found his deed
22:17Not after I...
22:18I...
22:19Oh
22:20Fine
22:24I'll go quietly
22:30Ah, oh, that's a good idea, Maggie
22:35Uh, Mr. Grape
22:37I was wondering if you might care to join us
22:42You...
22:43You mean, you're inviting me to skate with you?
22:48Sure
22:48It's Christmas
22:49You should be having fun
22:51Yes, please, Mr. Grape
22:53Join us
22:54But nobody has ever invited me to skate
22:57Even when I was a child
22:59The other children never wanted to skate with me
23:02That's why I would never allow the children to skate on my pond
23:06Bog
23:07Yes, Mr. Whiskers
23:10You're bog
23:12I think these would fit you nicely, Mr. Grape
23:15Those skates are...
23:17For me?
23:18Put them on, Mr. Grape
23:20Oh, all right
23:25Oh, look, I'm skating
23:30Sir, I have just one more thing to say to you
23:36Merry Christmas, Mr. Grape
23:40And so it was that Cyrus Grape became a friend to one and all
23:45In the little town of Cranberry Port
23:48And now, when the cold winds blow and cranberry bogs freeze
23:52You can just bet that it'll be old Cyrus Grape himself
23:56That will be the very first to remind everyone that
23:59Christmas is just around the corner
24:04It's just around the corner
24:07Candles are glowing everywhere
24:14Can't wait until that night reindeer appear
24:23Christmas
24:24Christmas
24:24Yes, it's finally here
24:29Christmas
24:33Yes, it's finally here
