00:00Tis the Christmas season once again, on a street called Sesame, a street where, year after year,
00:16sunny days have given way to the crisp sights and sounds of winter.
00:20And friendly neighbors have met to exchange warm holiday greetings, warm enough to make small red monsters giggle and old friends unite.
00:36This year is no different, for with the season comes the magical, snow-covered silence of a very special night.
00:47Tonight is Christmas Eve. Everyone is snug in their beds with visions of sugar plums dancing in their...
00:57Would you keep it down out there?
00:59Of course not everybody gets into the holiday spirit. Oscar is still a grouch to begin with.
01:07Hey Mac, how's that grouch supposed to get any sleep around here? You just keep blabbering on and on.
01:13Excuse me Oscar, but may I be the first to wish you a very merry...
01:18Hey, don't say it. There's only one merry thing about Christmas.
01:22And what might that be?
01:24It only comes once a year. And this year I plan to sleep through the whole thing. Fruitcake and all. So, if you don't mind, just read this.
01:34Do not disturb until after Christmas, Oscar.
01:39That's right. So just take your Christmas greetings and scram. Nighty-night. Ha!
01:45And so, Oscar the Grouch settles in for a long winter's nap.
01:52And an eventful nap it shall be.
02:03The Sesame Street Christmas Carol.
02:07Let's see. Oh my. I don't know exactly where this is.
02:14Well, this looks okay. Try this way.
02:18Well, this is Sesame Street. It's charming, but where does Oscar the Grouch live?
02:25Well, I've been past a tree and I've been past Hooper's. Well, I'll try this way. Okay.
02:29Um. Well, no. That's not it. Let me try over here. Oh. Oh, maybe over here.
02:36Um. Uh. Um. Oh. Where is this Oscar the Grouch guy?
02:44Ah! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Hey. There's a sign. I better read it.
02:53It says, um, do not disturb until after Christmas, Oscar.
03:00Oscar. He must live here.
03:04I better get this over with.
03:10Good evening, Mr. Grouch, sir. Scaredy Pist delivery service.
03:17I better try something different, Deb.
03:20Good evening, Mr. Grouch, sir. Scaredy Pist delivery service.
03:24Well, I guess nobody's home.
03:27Hey!
03:30Can't you read?
03:33Yes, Mr. Grouch, sir. And may I compliment you on your very fine handwriting skills.
03:38Oh, great. Thanks for nothing.
03:40No wonder they call him a Grouch.
03:42Who are you and what do you want? Don't you know it's the middle of the night?
03:46Yes, sir. And I am Joe Marley, sir. Scaredy Pist ghost-o-gram delivery service.
03:51I'm here to deliver you the first of three ghost-o-grams this evening.
03:57And this is number one.
04:00Hey, well, I didn't order anything. Let me see that.
04:03Yeah. Oh, thank you for being so very understanding, sir.
04:07This is a vintage 1843 baked beans can. Hey, I love junk mail.
04:12Oh, and it's not just any baked beans can, sir. It comes with a card.
04:18Give me that.
04:20Just read the directions on the card, word for word, and you will be visited by the first of three ghostly spirits.
04:27You've got to be kidding me.
04:30Oh, no, sir. Opening ghost-o-grams is very simple.
04:33Step one, read the card and a ghost will appear.
04:36Two, the ghost will deliver a meaningful message.
04:40Three, the message will make you a better person.
04:43Or, uh, Grouch, it's as simple as one, two, three.
04:48That wasn't simple. That's the craziest thing I ever heard.
04:50Yeah, I don't make this stuff up, sir. I just deliver the ghost-o-grams. Good evening, sir.
04:56Man, I thought he'd never leave.
04:59Well, let's see here.
05:01Place can on solid surface.
05:04Okay.
05:06There we go.
05:08Okay.
05:10Now, read as follows.
05:13I love rubbish, anything tarnished or grubbish.
05:16It's a real blast watching Christmas's past, things that happened a long time agoish.
05:23A goish?
05:25Um, you've left out the last line, mate.
05:29It's against ghost-o-gram policy for me to exit me can until I've heard the entire message.
05:35Uh, whoa, it's working.
05:37Uh, let me see, let me see.
05:39Uh, it says, uh, ghost in a can, obey my command.
05:44Bah humbug!
05:47Step back, mate. Me contents are under pressure.
05:53Ah!
05:55Yop!
05:57Wah-ha!
05:59Jumping junkyards. That scaredy guy was right.
06:02Rhubarb! The grouch of Christmas past. At your service, lad.
06:06Uh, rhubarb? The rhubarb the grouch from London, 1843?
06:12Why, you're a grouch royalty.
06:16Oh, you're too unkind.
06:18Well, it's, uh, terrible to meet you.
06:21Oh, no. The displeasure's all mine, I assure you.
06:24Well, says here on me schedule that I must show you two old heartwarming home movies from Christmases long ago here on Sesame Street. A little trip down memory lane, so to speak, right?
06:38Wait a minute. You're a grouch. Why would you want to show me Christmas's past? The scaredy pants guy said you were gonna teach me how to appreciate all the good stuff Christmas is about and show me how to be a better grouch. He said it was as simple as one, two, three.
06:56It was as simple as one, two, three. Scary, isn't it?
07:00Oh, right-o. But don't worry, your grouchy head. This is only me temp job. Normally, I'm haunting Her Majesty's waste paper bin. Yeah.
07:09No kidding.
07:10And about these movies. From one grouch to another, there's nothing written here what says we have to enjoy the experience, now is there? Yeah.
07:21Yeah, you're right. So we watch old Christmas home movies and complain about it.
07:27Precisely, governor.
07:29That's a terrible idea, and I love it.
07:32Welcome to the Grouch Plex Double Feature. Our first blast from the past, Gift of the Magi, starring Ernie and Bert.
07:41A buddy movie. My favorite.
07:44It is a movie about giving from the heart, thinking about others and what makes them happy. This film is rated G.
07:52Yeah, G for Get It Over With.
07:55Let the show begin.
07:56Hey, look. The film's all brown and scratchy.
08:01Oh, that's because it's from the past. It's really, really old.
08:05Old and sappy.
08:08Golly.
08:10Christmas Eve and I still don't have an idea for Ernie's present.
08:15It's gotta be something really special.
08:18What? What? What is...
08:20Oh, it's Ernie's rubber ducky.
08:23Hey, wait. That gives me a neato idea.
08:29Uh, I'll get Ernie a soap dish to put his rubber ducky in.
08:34What a nifty idea.
08:38Oh, I'm home, Bert.
08:41Oh, Bert.
08:43Hey, what's this?
08:45Why, it's a paperclip.
08:47I bet this is from Bert's paperclip collection.
08:48Of course. This is Bert's 1957 Acme.
08:53Why, he'd feel just awful if he lost this.
08:56Hey! Now I know what I'll get Bert for Christmas.
09:00I'll get him a cigar box to keep his paperclip collection in.
09:04That's what I'll get him. Then they'll never get lost again.
09:06Oh, hi there, Mr. Hooper.
09:10Oh, hello, Ernie. What brings you here?
09:12Well, I'm just doing a little bit of last-minute Christmas shopping and, uh...
09:16There! That is a fine-looking empty cigar box up there.
09:20Oh, really? Well, thank you.
09:22Uh, well, Mr. Hooper, I don't have any money, but, uh...
09:25Suppose I gave you rubber ducky here for that cigar box, would you trade?
09:37Ernie? Your rubber ducky? Are you sure?
09:43Well...
09:45I just gotta have that cigar box, Mr. Hooper.
09:48Well, uh...
09:50Well, if it's not very important to you, here you are.
09:53Ah!
09:55Oh, well, thank you, Mr. Hooper, and...
09:57Well, here's...
09:59Here's rubber ducky.
10:01Goodbye, Mr. Hooper, and...
10:03Goodbye, rubber ducky.
10:07Goodbye, Ernie.
10:09Uh, Mr. Hooper.
10:11Oh, oh, oh.
10:13Hi, Ernie. I was just...
10:15Yeah, me too. I just, you know...
10:17Uh, Mr. Hooper?
10:19Yes?
10:21Uh, yeah. Uh, Mr. Hooper.
10:22Yes?
10:23I am prepared to offer you the deal of a lifetime.
10:26Ready?
10:27Yes, oh, yeah.
10:28Ta-da!
10:30Huh? Huh?
10:31This is the finest paperclip collection in the Western world.
10:35Isn't that a beauty?
10:36Now, now, look, look, look, look.
10:38See, there? There is my, my jumbo gem, right in the middle.
10:42Isn't that a beauty? And, and over there, right, right by your hand there,
10:44that is a chrome-plated one I got at a paperclip manufacturer's convention.
10:48It's, uh, very impressive.
10:50Oh, it's wonderful.
10:52And they're all so, so individual.
10:55Uh, yeah, uh, well, I am prepared to trade you this terrific paperclip collection for just one small soap dish.
11:02Uh, color pink. Yeah. Huh? What do you say, Mr. Hooper? Do we have a deal?
11:11Well...
11:13Huh?
11:14I must say, you, uh, talked me into it.
11:17Oh, terrific. Thank you.
11:25Are you sure?
11:27Yes, I'm sure.
11:31Thank you, Mr. Hooper.
11:32Mr. Hooper.
11:37Mr. Hooper.
11:39Do you think that maybe I could come and visit my paperclip?
11:47Never mind.
11:58Well, time for bed, Ernie.
12:02Yep. It is, uh, betty-bye time, Bert.
12:04Yeah.
12:05Sure is.
12:10Oh, oh.
12:11Bert, I can't stand it any longer. Let's open these presents tonight.
12:14Yeah, yeah, yeah.
12:15Oh, good. There you are, Bert.
12:16That one is for you.
12:17Ernie, thanks. This one right here is for you.
12:19Oh, great, Bert. Hey, but you open yours up first, would you?
12:21Can I?
12:22Please.
12:23Oh, thanks a lot.
12:24Mm-hmm.
12:25Oh, Ernie, what a great, superb packing job.
12:27Mm-hmm.
12:28You just cut the ribbon corners so neatly.
12:30Now, if I can just slide my finger underneath the paper and get the tape...
12:34No, how about a scissor?
12:35Well, maybe if I just take the end...
12:36Oh, Bert, just open it up, would you?
12:38Oh, yeah, okay.
12:40There.
12:42Oh, Ernie!
12:43Ernie!
12:44A cigar box!
12:45Yeah.
12:46Oh, hunky-dory!
12:47I got it especially for your paperclip collection, Bert.
12:51What?
12:53Well, I got the cigar box so you could keep your paperclips in it.
12:58Oh.
12:59Uh-huh.
13:01Yeah, well...
13:02Oh, come on, Bert.
13:03Put your paperclips in there so I can see how they look.
13:05I just can't wait to see.
13:07Uh, gee, Ernie.
13:08Um...
13:10Hey, wait!
13:11How about your present?
13:12You didn't open your present yet.
13:13Oh.
13:14Okay, Bert.
13:15Come on, open it up.
13:16Come on.
13:17Alrighty.
13:18Mm-hmm.
13:20Oh, boy, oh, boy.
13:22I can't wait.
13:23Yeah.
13:25Let's see.
13:26You're, uh, trying to get in here.
13:28Yeah?
13:29I wrapped it good, huh?
13:30You certainly did, Bert.
13:32Oh.
13:33That's...
13:34Why, it's a, uh...
13:36Oh!
13:37That's a soap dish, huh?
13:38That's right.
13:39Yep.
13:40A soap dish.
13:41Oh, it's beautiful, Bert.
13:42Yeah, yeah.
13:43Yeah, I got it for a rubber ducky.
13:47What?
13:48Yeah, yeah, so he won't keep falling into the tub and sinking, you know.
13:51Hey, let's see how he looks in it.
13:53Go get rubber ducky.
13:54Yeah.
13:57Uh, uh, come in.
14:00Oh!
14:01Merry Christmas, Mr. Hooper!
14:02Merry Christmas, Mr. Hooper!
14:03Merry Christmas, Mr. Hooper!
14:05Hi!
14:06Yeah, I just came by to drop off some Christmas presents.
14:09Oh, wow.
14:10This is for you, Bert.
14:11Oh, thank you, Mr. Hooper.
14:13This is for you, Ernie.
14:14Oh, gee, thanks a lot, Mr. Hooper.
14:16Oh, wow, how nice.
14:17Hey, what did you get, Bert?
14:18Well, I don't know.
14:19I'll open it up.
14:20Open up yours first.
14:21Uh, let's see.
14:22Should I untie the ribbon or get a scissor and then take it from the outside here?
14:26Bert!
14:27Yes, yes.
14:28Just open it up.
14:29Okay, yes, yes, yes, yes.
14:31Oh, my paper clips.
14:34Oh, Mr. Hooper.
14:35Yes.
14:37You're welcome.
14:38Oh, wow.
14:39But, Bert, how did Mr. Hooper get your paper clip collection?
14:42Never mind, Ernie.
14:43Just open your present.
14:45Oh.
14:46Yeah, yeah, let's see what you have.
14:47Okay.
14:48Let's see, let's see.
14:49Um, let's see here.
14:50What is it?
14:51What is it?
14:52Huh?
14:53Oh, it's not.
14:54It's Rubber Ducky.
14:57Oh, hi, Rubber Ducky.
15:00Ernie.
15:01Hmm?
15:02Well, how did Mr. Hooper get Rubber Ducky?
15:05Oh, that's sort of a long story, Bert, but thanks a lot, Mr. Hooper.
15:10You're welcome.
15:11Hey, Ernie.
15:12Yeah?
15:13Ernie, we didn't get Mr. Hooper anything.
15:16Oh, you're right, Bert.
15:18Huh.
15:19You're wrong, boys.
15:20I got the best Christmas present ever.
15:23Wh-what do you mean?
15:24Yeah, yeah, what do you mean?
15:25Uh, I got to see, hey, that everyone got exactly what they wanted for Christmas.
15:31Huh?
15:32Oh.
15:33Merry Christmas.
15:34Oh, Merry Christmas, Mr. Hooper.
15:35Merry Christmas, Mr. Hooper.
15:36Merry Christmas, Mr. Hooper.
15:37Oh.
15:38Gee.
15:39Merry Christmas, Ernie.
15:42Merry Christmas to you, too, Bert.
15:45Oh, that was so moving.
15:48Makes me cry like a baby in an onion factory.
15:52Hey, you got to be kidding.
15:54Whoa.
15:55Got you there, didn't I, mate?
15:57Yeah, good one.
15:59I give it two grouchy thumbs down.
16:02All that friendship and giving from the heart stuff was way too sappy.
16:07Indeed it was.
16:09Next up, another musical.
16:11Featuring an overgrown canary.
16:13Walking around singing about how much he misses his furry elephant-like friend.
16:18Snuffle-loofy, uh, Snuffle-loof-o, Snuffle-ly, um...
16:22Snuffy?
16:23Boy, Jove, you've got it.
16:25Roll film.
16:26Hello.
16:27We're not here right now.
16:28Please leave a message after the beep.
16:29Oh, rats of the answering machine.
16:30Hi, Snuffy.
16:31It's me, your old pal, Big Bird.
16:33I sure wish I could talk to you in person, but I guess I'll have to leave you a little
16:37message.
16:38I sure do miss you, Snuffy.
16:39I wish Christmas would end.
16:40See, I've gotten lots of presents, but don't you?
16:41Not the one I want most.
17:02I don't want anything that you pull on a string.
17:06All I want for Christmas is you.
17:10Jacks and a ball wouldn't please me at all.
17:14All I want for Christmas is you.
17:17I don't need some crayons or an automobile.
17:21Just a shaggy person who can feel what I feel.
17:25A necktie is neat, and shoes are a treat.
17:29But they can't make me smile when I'm blue.
17:33Don't get me a picture book to color and trace.
17:36Don't buy me a rocket ship that goes into space.
17:40All I need's a buddy with a smile on his face.
17:44All I want for Christmas is you.
17:47You can't see it, Snuffy, but I'm doing a little dance, because I'm happy I'm talking to you.
17:56And I've never danced on the telephone before.
17:59Now I'm dancing in a little circle.
18:02Now I'm doing a little soft shoe.
18:05A necktie is neat, and shoes are a treat.
18:09But they can't make me smile when I'm blue.
18:12I don't need a hula hoop, a top or a ball.
18:16Don't get me a cuckoo clock to hang on the wall.
18:20All I want is Snuffy, who's my best friend of all.
18:24All I want for Christmas is you.
18:28All I want for Christmas is you.
18:32All I want for Christmas is you.
18:41All I want for Christmas is you.
18:45Well, Oscar, all bad things must come to an end.
18:49And that was really bad, wasn't it?
18:51Yeah, you got that right.
18:53Talk about your holiday turkeys.
18:55You can say that again.
18:57Wait, you're leaving?
18:59Well, I must be going.
19:01Two more ghost-o-grams are on the way.
19:03Yep, there we go.
19:06Don't let the holidays make you all happy and sweet, my boy.
19:11All right, ready for re-entry.
19:14Have a lousy evening.
19:16Yeah, likewise, I'm sure.
19:22Hmm.
19:25Now that's what I call an exit.
19:28Well, this baby's going into the old collection.
19:31Or maybe I'll sell it on G-Bay.
19:36Oh, where is that Oscar the Grouch's can again?
19:41Oh, here it is.
19:42Time for my next delivery.
19:48Mr. Grouch, sir.
19:49Scaredy-pants delivery at your service.
19:52What?
19:53Ah!
19:54Oh!
19:55Oh!
19:56Oh!
19:57Sorry, sir.
19:59Here you go.
20:00Your next delivery.
20:02What is that?
20:03Ghost-o-gram number two.
20:05It appears to be a jack-in-the-box, sir.
20:08Isn't it beautiful?
20:10Mwah!
20:15Hmm.
20:16Yuck.
20:17Return it to sender.
20:18Sorry, sir.
20:19Ghost-o-grams are non-returnable.
20:22Well, you can't judge a ghost by its cover.
20:26And maybe it's full of sauerkraut.
20:28Perhaps, sir.
20:29And as always, here are your easy-to-follow instructions.
20:33May I get a signature on line three, please, sir?
20:36In your dreams?
20:37Of course, sir.
20:38Don't worry.
20:39We have you on file.
20:41Hmm.
20:42Well, let's see what this says here.
20:45Okay.
20:46Turn the crank on this box.
20:48And then you will see that present means more than a gift in a tree.
20:53Like a jack-in-the-box, I will appear with visions of sugar plums right now, right here.
20:59Oh, yuck.
21:00That gave me the creeps.
21:01Well, here goes nothing.
21:03Let's see.
21:04Well, Ollie, what do you know?
21:15It's a dud!
21:16Beg your pardon, Oscar dear, but you've forgotten the magic word.
21:22Uh, oh, uh, fruitcake?
21:26Season's Greetings!
21:29I, Christmas Carol, Ghost of Christmas Present, also known as the Christmas that is happening
21:36right now, bid you good tidings.
21:39Oh!
21:40So sorry.
21:41There.
21:42That's better.
21:43A talking Christmas tree?
21:46Oh, this is scary.
21:49You needn't worry, Oscar sweetheart.
21:54Now come on out.
21:56I know just what you need to warm up the holiday.
22:01Decorative accessories!
22:04Uh-uh.
22:05I'm allergic to decorations, Holly, and the chubby guy in the red suit, so you can take
22:11your holiday cheer right back up the chimney.
22:14Whew.
22:15Stubborn this one is.
22:17Hmm.
22:18Oh, what do you think you're doing, lady?
22:21Ugh.
22:22I've been turned into Santa's helper.
22:24Well, I couldn't let you stay in there forever.
22:27Oh, really?
22:29Hmm.
22:30Huh.
22:31Let me guess.
22:32You're gonna show me all the glory of Christmas present all in living color.
22:37Right you are, my fine furry friend.
22:40And much more.
22:41We'll explore the importance of family, friends, and celebrating wonderful holiday traditions
22:48all in the present, right here, right now.
22:52Why, you might even be a better grouch for it.
22:55Oscar, it's as simple as one, two...
22:58Huh?
22:59Save your breath and just get on with it.
23:01Very well, Oscar.
23:03I now present Carol Vision.
23:06Ha-ha!
23:07Oh, brother.
23:08Ha-ha!
23:09Santa!
23:10Santa!
23:11Oh!
23:12Well, if it isn't Elmo monster.
23:13Wow!
23:14He knows Elmo's name.
23:15Well, of course I do.
23:16Why, you've been on the top of my nice list.
23:17You've been a very good little monster this year, Elmo.
23:18I'll go on with you, Santa.
23:19Ha-ha!
23:20Well, so what brings you up to the North Pole?
23:22That train I brought you last Christmas didn't break, did it?
23:24Ha-ha!
23:25No, no, Santa!
23:26Elmo still has his train and he uses it all the time.
23:29Oh, the same conductor.
23:30Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
23:31Chagga, chagga, chagga, chagga, chagga!
23:32Ha-ha-ha!
23:33Oh!
23:34Ha-ha!
23:35Ha-ha!
23:36Ha-ha!
23:37Ha-ha ha!
23:38Ha-ha!
23:39Ha-ha-ha!
23:40Ha-ha!
23:41Ha-ha!
23:42Ha-ha!
23:43Ha-ha-ha!
23:44Ha-ha-ha!
23:45Ha-ha-ha!
23:46Ha-ha-ha!
23:47Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
23:48Well then, Elmo, I think I know why you're here.
23:53So why don't you sit right here in my lap and tell me what you want for Christmas?
24:02Well, Santa, what Elmo really wants, more than anything in the world, is to give a present to Dorothy.
24:10You're goldfish, Dorothy.
24:14Wow! Santa knows Dorothy!
24:17Elmo's been trying and trying to find the perfect present for Dorothy, but Elmo can't think of what to get her.
24:26My, my, my, Elmo. Do you know what you have?
24:31A problem?
24:32No, you have true Christmas spirit.
24:37Why, you've come all the way up here to ask for something for someone you love instead of yourself.
24:44And that is true Christmas spirit.
24:49Christmas, carols fill the air.
25:02Christmas, lights are glowing everywhere.
25:07Seems all the world is dressed in red and green.
25:17Quite the best you've ever seen.
25:24And then on Christmas morning there will be one more gift you may not even see.
25:43It won't be wrapped in shiny paper tied with ribbons.
25:53But every Christmas you'll recall that someone's love's the greatest present of all.
26:09You see, Oscar, Elmo learned that love is the greatest gift of all.
26:35Why, it will turn even the grouchiest frown upside down.
26:39News flash. I like the frown. It's genetic.
26:44Don't slouch. Chin up, Oscar.
26:46You'll be happy to know that even Santa wouldn't want it to be Christmas every day.
26:51Oh, yeah? Prove it!
26:53You're so cute when you're grouchy.
26:55You're so cute when you're grouchy.
26:56Huh?
26:57Huh?
26:58Huh?
26:59You almost thought Christmas every day would make people happy, Lightning.
27:02But it's making them sad.
27:04Maybe Santa's right.
27:06Every day can't be Christmas.
27:11That wouldn't be such a treat.
27:15You can get tired of chocolate candy when that's all you eat.
27:23Every day can't be your birthday.
27:27That wouldn't be much fun.
27:32Too many birthdays aren't half as nice as one.
27:38That you wait for, wait for joy.
27:44And recall that if every day was Christmas, there wouldn't be Christmas at all.
28:00Well, ho, ho, ho. Christmas every day is a bad idea.
28:05Be that as it may, the point is that we can keep the Christmas spirit in our hearts all year round.
28:12Hey, don't you ever talk about anything else?
28:14Oh, of course I do.
28:16Well, surprise me then, please.
28:19Oscar dear, you'll be thrilled to learn about lots of different holiday traditions.
28:25Each one is enjoyed in its own special way.
28:28They are celebrations you share with your friends and family, like Hanukkah and Kwanzaa.
28:34Hanukkah and whatsa?
28:36Hanukkah and Kwanzaa.
28:38Both are wonderful celebrations of culture, community and tradition enjoyed with...
28:43Wait a minute, let me guess.
28:45The three F's.
28:46Friends, family and food.
28:48Oh, Oscar.
28:49I do believe you're catching on.
28:51Well, just wave that thing so I can get some sleep, huh?
28:54Grouchy boy.
28:57Our family celebrates Hanukkah and I like to set up the menorah.
29:07It's a special candle holder with eight candles.
29:11One for each night of Hanukkah.
29:14Plus one extra candle called the shamash.
29:18We use it to light all the others.
29:26Oh Hanukkah, oh Hanukkah, come light the menorah.
29:34Let's have a party, we're all in Oklahoma.
29:41Gather at the table, we'll give you a treat.
29:45Shiny tops to play with them all goes to me.
29:48Shiny tops to play with them all goes to me.
29:52And while we are playing, the candles are burning low.
30:06One for each night they shared us.
30:10In my family, we celebrate Kwanzaa.
30:32Every night, we light a candle on a kanara.
30:36That's a candle holder with a candle for each of the seven nights of Kwanzaa.
30:43Are you ready tonight for Kanara?
30:48And every night, we talk about one of the seven principles of Kwanzaa.
30:55Their ideas for how to live a good life.
30:59Tonight's principle is Umoja.
31:01It means unity, coming together, getting along.
31:05Like when Tyler lets me play with his drum.
31:09Right.
31:12My favorite part of Kwanzaa is the Karamu.
31:16It's a feast on the sixth night.
31:19Kukaumba.
31:20Where my whole family and friends gets together and celebrates.
31:30We eat lots of food, tell stories, and then, in my family, we like to dance.
31:46We always have fun when we're together for Kwanzaa, and at the end of the night, we get a small present.
32:08My own drum? Wow!
32:21Did you notice the wonderful blending of traditional red, green, and black in the Kwanzaa centerpiece?
32:27Well, how could I miss it, Miss Happy Tree?
32:30I've never been one to speak ill of another, but really, may I be frank with you?
32:35Well, please do. That would be excruciating.
32:40In all of my ghostly travels, I have never met anyone as fussy, rude, and out of sorts as you.
32:46Well, Carol, may I be frank with you?
32:49Of course.
32:50Well, that's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me.
32:53Somehow, that doesn't surprise me.
32:55Oh, I'm full of surprises.
32:57You're not going to make me watch another one of those holiday thingies, are you?
33:01Well, there is the Christmas finale. A wonderful song called, Keep Christmas With You.
33:07Oh, it's about keeping the holiday spirit all year round.
33:11Oh, boy.
33:12It's quite joyful.
33:14Oh.
33:17Excuse me.
33:18Keep Christmas with you all through the year.
33:26When Christmas is over, you can keep it near.
33:32Think of this Christmas day, when Christmas is far away.
33:41Keep Christmas with you all through the year.
33:49When Christmas is over, sing some Christmas cheer.
33:55These precious moments, hold them very dear.
34:00And keep Christmas with you all through the year.
34:08Snuffy?
34:15Bird!
34:16Oh, Snuffy!
34:17Merry Christmas, Bird!
34:20Oh, Snuffy, old pal.
34:22What are you doing here?
34:23I thought you were going to spend Christmas with your grandma in Cincinnati.
34:26I was, Bird, but guess what?
34:29She came here instead.
34:32Oh, well, I'm so glad.
34:34I'd hate for us to be apart even for one day.
34:37Oh, me too, Bird.
34:41Oh, Merry Christmas, Bird.
34:44Oh, Merry Christmas, Snuffy.
34:46Come on.
34:48Ha, ha, ha.
34:52Christmas means the spirit of giving
34:57Peace and joy to you.
35:01The goodness of loving, the gladness of living, these are Christmas too.
35:12So keep Christmas with you all through the year.
35:19When Christmas is over, say some Christmas cheer.
35:25These precious moments, hold them very dear.
35:30And keep Christmas with you all through the year.
35:37See, Oscar?
35:42You can't keep the Christmas spirit all through the year
35:45without exchanging the first gift or greeting card.
35:52Oscar?
35:52Well, I never.
35:57Ha, what, what, what was, what, uh, what?
35:59Oh, dear.
36:00It's my baking timer.
36:02I leave Christmas dinner in the oven.
36:04I must be off.
36:06Yeah, yeah.
36:07Well, uh, I wouldn't want to ruin Christmas dinner.
36:11Ha, ha, ha.
36:12I'm moved by your newly acquired kindness, Oscar dear.
36:16I just can't help myself.
36:19Ha, ha.
36:19Toodaloo.
36:20Yeah, toodaloo.
36:22Oh, fruitcake.
36:24Ha, ha.
36:27Hey, I thought she'd never leave.
36:30That's better.
36:31Ha, ha.
36:35Only one more delivery to go.
36:40What now?
36:42Well, Mr. Scaredy Pants, that last ghost was a doozy.
36:47So this better be good.
36:49Yes, sir.
36:50Third time's a charm, sir.
36:52Here you go.
36:53Hmm.
36:53What, no instruction card?
36:55But of course, sir.
36:56No need to call our complaint line today.
36:59OK, so get lost.
37:00Yes.
37:01Um, but before I go, sir, I am required to conduct a brief survey
37:05where you rate the Ghostagram delivery service.
37:08Have all the rotten luck.
37:10Let's see, uh, number one.
37:12How much did the Grouch of Christmas Past help you understand giving from the heart?
37:17A lot, a little, or not at all?
37:20Scram.
37:22Scram's not an option, sir.
37:24I'll just mark down a lot.
37:25Also known as a smiley face.
37:27Oh, boy.
37:29Question two.
37:30Mm-hmm.
37:30How much did the Ghost of Christmas Present help you understand the many holiday traditions
37:36celebrated during the season?
37:38Go away.
37:39OK.
37:40For the sake of time, I'll just mark a lot.
37:43Well, sir, thank you for taking the time to rate our performance.
37:46Just so you know, a small tip is customary.
37:50Scram!
37:51Ah!
37:51Ah!
37:52Scramming, sir!
37:53Oh!
37:53Oh!
37:53Oh!
37:54Hmm.
37:55Now, where was I?
37:56Oh, yeah.
37:57Press the on button, and I will appear, making the future of Christmas perfectly clear.
38:04Press the on button, and I will arrive.
38:06Be nimble, be quick, or I'll crash my hard drive.
38:09Heh heh.
38:09All right.
38:10Let's see.
38:12OK.
38:13Um, this ought to be good.
38:17Stephen's greetings, Oscar the Grouch.
38:19I am Sam, the super automated ghost of Christmas future.
38:23Future, how may I be of assistance?
38:25It's as simple as one, two, three.
38:27Will you look at that?
38:29A computer with a mind of its own.
38:31Over here, you bucket of bolts.
38:34Excuse me, ma'am.
38:39Season's greetings, Oscar the Grouch.
38:41I am Sam, the super automated ghost of Christmas future.
38:46Future, future, future.
38:48This is the future.
38:49We're all in a lot of trouble.
38:51Thank you, Oscar the Grouch.
38:53I am Sam.
38:55If you have holiday spirit, press one.
38:58If you appreciate your friends, press two.
39:01If you have reached this message in error, press three.
39:05Just show me the Christmas future.
39:08I haven't got all night, Einstein.
39:09I will now process your request.
39:15Subject, Christmas future.
39:17Holidays in the years to come.
39:19The day after manana.
39:21Tomorrow, plus many, many years.
39:24Also known as, later on, dude.
39:28Processing complete.
39:29I will now display a short but informative presentation which asks the burning question,
39:34What will the holidays be in the future?
39:37That's all you got.
39:39I will now deploy my high-def entertainment system for your viewing pleasure.
39:50Season's greetings and welcome aboard the future holidays adventure.
39:54A ride that answers the question, what will holidays be like in the future?
39:58Hold on tight.
40:01The future can be unpredictable.
40:04Anything can happen.
40:09This is a holiday home of today.
40:12In the future, homes will decorate themselves.
40:14Today, families enjoy holiday dinner at the table.
40:29But in the future, holidays will be enjoyed in zero gravity.
40:34No need for messy food when you can enjoy a delicious, chewable space food capsule instead.
40:41In the future, Christmas trees will come already decorated.
40:48But we already have one of those.
40:52Now, your holiday will boldly go where no holiday has gone before.
40:58In the future, Santa will use a rocket sled.
41:03Dancer, warp factor three.
41:05I kept it.
41:07Please remain seated as we return to the present.
41:11The ride back can be very bumpy and very cold.
41:16Season's greetings.
41:22Gee, Dad, that was fun!
41:24Let's do it again.
41:26I like the holidays just the way they are.
41:31Season's greetings.
41:32We hope you enjoyed this short and informative presentation.
41:40What holidays will be in the future?
41:43I will now play the soothing sounds of the season for your listening enjoyment.
41:48Time to change the channel.
41:50Get lost, Tin Man!
41:51I cannot do that, Oscar the Grouch.
41:55Get lost does not compute.
41:57Does not compute.
41:59Happy holidays!
42:00Check the hall!
42:01Ho, ho, ho!
42:02Let's build a snowman!
42:04Isn't this fun?
42:07Sorry!
42:07You are out of your roaming area!
42:09Ding, ding, ding!
42:09Christmas bells are ringing!
42:11Well, it's not working.
42:13It won't stop!
42:14This lousy music's driving me nuts!
42:18No!
42:25Mr. Oscar!
42:26Mr. Oscar!
42:27Are you okay, sir?
42:28No!
42:29I can't get away from this Christmas music!
42:33Wait!
42:34That's you!
42:35What?
42:36You're Joe!
42:38Joe the Scanty Pants guy, huh?
42:40No!
42:41I'm little Joey Dickens, you know!
42:43From Brooklyn!
42:44Yeah, well, where's the robot?
42:47Where is he?
42:48Robot?
42:48You got a robot for Christmas?
42:51Wow!
42:51No, no, no, no, no, no!
42:52You don't understand!
42:54There was a robot here, see?
42:55A freaky lady dressed up like a Christmas tree
42:58and a grouch of Christmas past.
43:01Actually, he was kind of cool.
43:03Hey, Mr. Oscar!
43:05Maybe you had a bad dream!
43:07Oh.
43:08Yeah.
43:09Well, I did have liver and onion smoothie
43:12before I went to bed.
43:13Well, that could do it!
43:14Well, anyway, Oscar, it's Christmas Day
43:16and I just wanted to bring you
43:17this sticky ball of used wrapping paper.
43:21Oh.
43:22Hey, this is for me?
43:24Mm-hmm.
43:24And, you know what?
43:25I bet you're going to get even more
43:27by the end of the day.
43:28Yeah, really?
43:29Yeah.
43:29Yeah.
43:30Hey, you got a point there, kid.
43:31Plus, the sun is out, so all this rotten snow
43:35will turn mushy and gray.
43:37Yeah.
43:38Yeah, and best of all,
43:40tomorrow is the day after Christmas
43:43and this will all be over.
43:46Yeah, I guess that's one way to look at it.
43:48Yeah, so hold on, kid.
43:50Huh?
43:50Well, I was going to give this to Slimy,
43:53but he already has one,
43:55so it's for you.
43:56Hmm.
43:58Ooh!
43:59Uh, gee, Oscar,
44:00this is, uh,
44:01the smelliest thing anybody's ever given me.
44:04Yeah.
44:05Well, Joe,
44:05I have only one thing to say.
44:08What's that, Oscar?
44:09Have a grouchy Christmas
44:10and bah humbug.
44:14Oh!
44:16I'm sure glad Oscar feels better.
44:19Ooh, that is one stinky present.
44:21And so Christmas returns to Sesame Street,
44:25where even a grouch can find reasons to celebrate,
44:29even though he'd never admit it.
44:31I heard that.
