00:00My first sled. She was a beauty. I was pretty dapper myself. I put a lot of miles on that
00:12baby. Somewhere around the 17th century, I ran out of cargo space. I moved up to a newer
00:25model. Well, that's when I met Mrs. Claus. Oh, what a cutie. We were married, and only a
00:32century later, blessed with triplets. Roy, Daryl, and Mel. Mel's the little one. Of course,
00:39the boys always shared everything, fair and square. I taught them how to fish, to make a
00:48good snowball, and how to slide down a chimney without burning a keister. Being Santa was
00:54a big job, and I wasn't getting any younger. But I had my son, the best-kept secret at
01:00the North Pole.
01:01Oh!
01:02Oh!
01:03Oh!
01:04Oh!
01:05Whoa!
01:06What?!
01:07Yeah!
01:08Look, everybody. It flies. It really flies.
01:36Am I a genius or what?
01:38Wait till Dad tries this out.
01:41I'm a shoelamp to be the next Santa.
01:59Look out!
02:06Mel, will you get that thing out of here?
02:09Busby!
02:11Uh, yes, Roy?
02:14Give me a hand, will you?
02:15Unlike some people, I know there's work to do around here.
02:18Now, those are the girls who want dolls with red hair.
02:2157,468, not counting Cindy Muskbaum,
02:23who wants red hair but with blue streaks.
02:25She's in the oddball pile here.
02:27There's 23,409 of those,
02:29and those are the girls who want scooters.
02:3132,111.
02:32Okay.
02:33If we cross-reference those with the girls in this pile
02:35who requested princess costumes
02:37but did not ask for nutcrackers,
02:39hardly anybody does anymore,
02:41we should be able to develop a statistical model
02:43to predict next year's Troy requests
02:44from all the girls with blue eyes in the Western Hemisphere.
02:48That's very exciting.
02:50Numbers, Busby.
02:52Mastering the numbers is the key to being a good Santa.
02:55Look out, Blue!
02:56Oh, how am I supposed to work with all these distractions?
03:05Will you please tell them to keep it down?
03:08Hey, Busby!
03:21Daryl, Roy wants you to keep it down.
03:24Oh, I'll keep it waaay down.
03:27Why the long face, pal?
03:39Well, it's just that Christmas Eve is tomorrow.
03:44Aren't you guys supposed to be loading this sleigh?
03:47Busby, Busby, Busby, everybody's been working hard,
03:50and I think it's time to celebrate.
03:53But wouldn't it be better to load this sleigh first?
03:56You know what makes a good Santa, Busby?
03:58You have to be able to connect with people,
04:00and I can do that, because I'm a people person.
04:03But we're elves.
04:05And I'm an elf person, too.
04:07That's why Dad is gonna pick me to be the next Santa tonight.
04:10So stop worrying, because from now on,
04:13we are going to...
04:15RT!
04:17Party, buddy!
04:19Party!
04:21He wants to have the office party before they load the sleigh?
04:25I can hardly believe they're my sons, Snorkel.
04:30A hundred and fifty years old,
04:32and not one of them seems to have what it takes to be Santa.
04:35Oh, I feel terrible, sir.
04:37I've done everything I can to train them,
04:40and I know you promised Mrs. Claus you'd retire after this year.
04:44Tomorrow night was supposed to be my last run,
04:47showing one of the boys the ropes.
04:49You know, sir, maybe I should take over for you this year.
04:54Just temporarily, of course, until the boys are up to speed.
04:58As head elf, I'm familiar with all gift requests,
05:01flight patterns, and chimney-related safety regulations.
05:04Well, maybe you could take over. Just temporarily.
05:10Yes.
05:11I'll have to sell Mrs. Claus on the idea.
05:17She always believes in those boys no matter what.
05:20As do I, of course.
05:23Oh, of course, sir.
05:25But this way you and the Mrs. could retire tomorrow
05:29and leave everything to me from here on in.
05:32I'm sure I'd have one of the boys up to speed by next year.
05:36You're a good man, Snorkel. I'll talk to her.
05:43Busby, meet me in my room.
05:49We're in, Busby. Santa's gonna talk the old bagger
05:52into making me the next Santa Claus.
05:54Oh, this age of hard work have finally paid off.
05:57By carefully preventing Santa's sons
06:00from ever learning anything useful,
06:02I've succeeded in making them totally unfit
06:05to take over for their father.
06:08Give me that suit.
06:11But you did it all for the good of Christmas, sir.
06:14Oh, yeah, yeah.
06:16Yes, Busby, I've had a vision.
06:18A vision of an efficient, modern workshop.
06:21Computerized assembly lines,
06:23turning out standardized toys.
06:25Robot arms moving in graceful harmony
06:28instead of all these whining, lazy elves.
06:31I will miss the old ways, Snorkel.
06:33The old ways?
06:34You mean Santa and his three twits
06:35running the operation into the ground?
06:37No, Busby.
06:38We are the hope for the future.
06:40Now go start dinner and make it good.
06:42It's our victory feast.
06:44Of course, once I get things running smoothly,
06:48I'll have to move away from this
06:49give-it-all-away-for-free business model.
06:52I'll introduce small user fees.
06:55Nothing big at first,
06:56just a dollar or two to be left with milk and cookies.
06:59After all, this operation has to start turning a profit sometime.
07:03Well, get ready, world,
07:05because here comes Snorkel Claus.
07:11Lose the beard.
07:15Snorkel?
07:16What about the boys?
07:17They're just not ready, Bernice.
07:20Between you and me, I don't know if they'll ever be ready.
07:23They talk about being Santa,
07:25but they don't seem to have any idea what Christmas is all about.
07:29At least Snorkel will keep the operation running
07:32until one of them is ready.
07:34If they've lost sight of the big picture,
07:36maybe we'll just have to give them some help.
07:39Oh.
08:04Hey, bub.
08:05Hey, Dad.
08:06Hi, Mom.
08:07Oh, thank you, Snorkel.
08:13Well, let's get to it, shall we?
08:16Your mother and I have discussed which of you should take over for me,
08:20and in light of certain concerns we have over your readiness,
08:25we've decided to send the three of you on a quest
08:28so you can become the Santas you were meant to be.
08:31What? A quest?
08:32For what?
08:33To find the true meaning of Christmas.
08:36Mmm.
08:37Mmm.
08:38Oh.
08:39So, where do we find it?
08:41I could check out by the reindeer barn.
08:43Oh, it might be in the field of snow.
08:45Or maybe the other field of snow.
08:46Oh.
08:47No, no, no.
08:48To find it, you boys are going to have to go where Christmas really happens,
08:52where the people are.
08:54You mean, you want us to go to the real world?
08:57By ourselves?
08:59But, but, sir, the next Santa was going to start tomorrow.
09:03And he will.
09:04The boys will leave in the morning and return by nightfall.
09:06Whichever one of you succeeds in the quest will go out with your father.
09:10And if none of you succeeds, Snorkel will take over as Santa Claus.
09:15Temporarily.
09:16Snorkel?
09:17How are we going to get to the real world?
09:21Well, I think you should walk.
09:23Now, Nick, we've been all through this.
09:26When I was 150, I walked through the snow to deliver the presents.
09:31And that was before global warming.
09:33I think they should take the sleigh.
09:35What?
09:36You see, Snorkel agrees with me.
09:38Send them off in the sleigh on the day before Christmas?
09:41What if they don't get back by nightfall?
09:43The sleigh practically drives itself.
09:45Just because I make it look easy doesn't mean anyone can do it.
09:49The real world is a big place.
09:52Not so big that you can't deliver presents to a billion kids every Christmas Eve
09:58and make it back in time for a nap before breakfast, eh, sir?
10:02Well, I am Santa, after all.
10:05All the more reason to have complete confidence in the boys
10:08making it back from their quest in plenty of time.
10:11After all, they are your sons.
10:17Well, I suppose so.
10:19But if you boys don't bring my one and only sleigh back by dark,
10:23there will be big trouble.
10:25Is that understood?
10:26Oh, yeah, sure, Dad.
10:27Absolutely, sure.
10:29That's not a problem.
10:30Sure, absolutely.
10:31I can do that.
10:32Yeah.
10:37We're doomed.
10:38Oh, we're doomed.
10:40We're doomed.
10:41We're doomed.
10:42We're doomed.
10:43Come on, boys.
10:44This is the chance of a lifetime.
10:46This will put you over the top.
10:47You'll be riding down Santa Claus Lane.
10:50But, Snorkel, we've never even been to the real world before.
10:53We've never even flown in the sleigh.
10:56You've all been in the simulator.
11:03Even if we knew what the meaning of Christmas was,
11:06where would we look for it?
11:08Well, it's obvious.
11:09You could try here.
11:13Santa Monica.
11:14What's that?
11:15Well, it's a city with Santa in its name.
11:20Clearly a place where they'd have the meaning of Christmas,
11:23with some spare.
11:25No.
11:26I say we just talked to Mom and Dad in the morning,
11:30and ask Dad to put off his retirement until we're ready.
11:33No, you're ready now.
11:34Well, thanks for your faith in us, Snorkel.
11:37But I think Mel's right.
11:38I say we asked Dad for an extra 143.6 years of training.
11:44Why?
11:45That's my lucky number.
11:47Well, that is a good reason.
11:48It's a good reason, huh, Daryl?
11:49I've got to convince them to go on this quest.
11:52But, uh, hold the reindeer.
11:55Wouldn't it be a bad thing if they go?
11:57What if they actually find the meaning of Christmas?
12:00If I can get them into the sleigh tomorrow morning,
12:03it won't matter if they find Alice.
12:05Because once they head into the real world,
12:08they are never coming back.
12:15Mom told you I'm her favorite?
12:17I didn't want to say anything in front of your brothers this afternoon,
12:21but this whole quest thing is just a ruse to make it easier on them
12:25when she picks you.
12:26It is?
12:27But don't I still have to find the meaning of Christmas?
12:29No problem.
12:30You're the design genius, right?
12:32I'll let you in on something.
12:33The meaning of Christmas is the perfect toy.
12:36Really?
12:37But I've been designing toys all my life,
12:39and I've never come up with a toy like that.
12:41That's because you've been stuck here at the North Pole.
12:44We just don't have the materials you need to fulfill your genius.
12:48That's true.
12:49So they have all that stuff in Santa Monica?
12:52Absolutely.
12:53I'm going to be Santa.
12:55I'm going to be Santa.
12:56Shh!
12:57Huh?
12:58I'm her favorite?
13:02That's why I'm letting you in on a secret.
13:05The meaning of Christmas is a number.
13:08It is?
13:09Think about it.
13:10What's the perfect number of presents to give?
13:12What's the right number of relatives to visit on Christmas Day?
13:15The right number of lights to put up in your house?
13:18There has to be a single number that solves all that.
13:21Yeah.
13:22And if I was in the real world, I could gather the data I need by observing real people.
13:27How do you read my mind?
13:29So all I have to do is cruise down to this Santa Monica place and start a party?
13:34Not just any party.
13:35The best party ever.
13:36That's the problem with the real world.
13:37People should feel happy all the time at Christmas, but they don't know how to maximize their fun.
13:46And who better to teach them how to party than you?
13:49Oh, Snorkel.
13:50You are the man, baby!
13:52Not a baby, but a man!
13:54Baby!
13:55Have a nice trip.
13:56Christmas is mine!
13:58They're going to end up in outer space.
14:14Oh, they'll do fine, you big fusspot.
14:16I'll bet they'll get back before lunchtime.
14:19Well, dinner time anyway.
14:25Roy, you read the map.
14:30I'll drive.
14:31I want to drive.
14:32You read the map.
14:33I'm more of a big picture person.
14:35Oh, there goes the map.
14:40Okay, it's flying.
14:41It's a flying map.
14:43See what you did?
14:46You're exceeding the speed limit.
14:48I told you to let me drive.
14:50Anybody want to sing Deck the Halls?
14:55Hold it with the ba-la-las. I need to go to the bathroom.

23:16that's all
23:22no
23:22thanks
23:23no
23:23let's see
23:28the perfect toy should be educational
23:30windable
23:30spinnable
23:31throwable
23:31and unbreakable
23:32it should have no parts that can be swallowed by small children
23:35it should transform into several different creatures and hook easily into a variety of gaming platforms
23:39it should promote harmony and social skills, it should bounce, play music, respond to vocal commands and come in a variety of attractive colors
23:46where am I going to get the parts to build something like that?
23:52you all right, hey, where'd you get all that great stuff?
23:59huh, this?
24:00well, hey, where'd you get all that great stuff?
24:01well, you have to know where it'll look
24:04but
24:05I know where you can get some of your own
24:08what you have to do with your own
24:13my name's Bert
24:13my name's Bert
24:14ma'am
24:14so this is your room?
24:19So this is your room?
24:21I gotta share my room with my two sisters, so I spend my time in here. Or on the roof.
24:27What's the matter? You don't like your sisters?
24:29They're little. They get in the way. I wanted to be an only child.
24:33Two sisters unliked.
24:36Why do you keep writing stuff down?
24:39Cause I'm gathering data.
24:41You're some kind of scientist? I thought you said you were Santa.
24:45I'm going to be Santa, but I have to find the meaning of Christmas first.
24:49Oh, I could have told you that. It's no.
24:53No?
24:54Yeah. When Christmas is coming, that means you're gonna hear no all the time.
24:59Can I have that toy on TV? No. Can I play computer games instead of going to church?
25:04No. Can I put my sisters in the laundry hamper when I open my presents?
25:08No, no, no, no, no, no.
25:11So, how many snowmen do you build each year?
25:13That's it? That's all you gotta say about my problems?
25:16Listen, are there other children around who can answer my questions?
25:19Oh, so you don't like me?
25:21I didn't say that.
25:22I'm not stupid, you know.
25:24Well, school's out, but yeah, I know I could find you some kids.
25:29But if I take you, you gotta promise to give my list right to your dad.
25:34All right.
25:35Pinky swear?
25:36Huh?
25:37Weren't you ever a kid?
25:40And we'll need plenty of Reese, of course, and Holly and Mistletoe.
25:47Yeah, Daryl, I want you to meet Polly Peterson.
25:49How are ya?
25:50Hi.
25:51She's gonna be your love interest.
25:53I'm the girl you fall in love with.
25:55Really? Wow! How about that?
25:58When do I get my script?
26:01No script. This is improv. Reality TV.
26:05Get the cameras in here and let's get this party going!
26:08Hey, we're gonna take pictures!
26:10So then the alien tried to abduct us with its fourth field ray.
26:29And there you have it. Aliens in Santa Monica.
26:33Stay tuned for our round-the-clock coverage, Jim.
26:36I'm not sure my profile is quite low enough.
26:43Bernese, where's my good hat with the fluffy puffball?
26:46On the shelf, dear.
26:48And in Jamaica, they have some excellent condos.
26:51Right on the beach.
26:53I can't wear this belt.
26:55It keeps my belly from shaking like a bowl full of jelly when I laugh.
26:58Try the one in your drawer, dear.
27:00Nick, will you please calm down?
27:03Why don't you watch a little trout fishing on the satellite dish Snorkel gave you last Christmas?
27:08All right. Newfangled thing.
27:14Oh, Nick! Look at this one.
27:17A timeshare hut in Tibet.
27:19And it gets up to freezing temperatures in the summer.
27:21Well, I can't think about retirement right now, Bernice.
27:24I've got a billion presents sitting on the loading dock.
27:31Darn it.
27:32Snorkel, there's something wrong with the dish.
27:34Snorkel?
27:35Snorkel?
27:51Hey, guys. This is Mal.
27:53He's gonna be the next Santa Claus.
27:55You know, that's an amazing coincidence.
27:58because Frank here is gonna be the next king of France.
28:01Bonjour.
28:03Uh, congratulations?
28:05So, where's all the stuff?
28:07Mm-hmm.
28:13Wow.
28:14I gotta work on my list. Bye!
28:27But, but...
28:33Can you...
28:34Can you tell me...
28:35Can you tell me how many train sets you've received?
28:38Uh, excuse me.
28:39Can you tell me how old you were when you got your first doll?
28:42Can you grade last year's presents on a scale of one to ten?
28:47Ah!
28:56Look at this!
28:57Santa's playing with the baby!
29:03Actually...
29:06I estimate their median age as 7.9 years.
29:10Oh!
29:11Oh!
29:12A smart Santa!
29:13Yeah!
29:14It's okay, Garth.
29:15He's just a little...
29:17You know?
29:19Well...
29:20Then he won't mind if I take his...
29:27You had better be careful,
29:29or I will put you on the naughty list.
29:32Sit in the sofa...
29:35Get him, Garth!
29:36Get him, Garth!
29:37Get him, Garth!
29:42And...
29:43Action!
29:44Okay.
29:45Now turn to the person next to you,
29:47and look into their eyes until you see the awe and wonder of Christmas.
29:54Cut!
29:55Huh?
29:56Look, Daryl, I don't know what parties are like where you come from, but this one needs a little danger.
30:02Danger?
30:04We need to take some risks.
30:06I could do the limbo.
30:08Look, does it have to be about Christmas?
30:10But what about the joy?
30:12The celebration?
30:13The simple magic of looking up at the sparkling lights on the tree?
30:20Alright, here it is.
30:21You loved him once, but you see now he's stuck in being a child, obsessed with Christmas, unable to grow up and see the world for the harsh, cruel place that it is.
30:31So you're dumping him.
30:32Run with it.
30:33In three!
30:34Three!
30:35No!
30:36No!
30:37Ow!
30:38Come on!
30:39Prancer!
30:40It's only for a little while!
30:42Come on!
30:43Give in!
30:44So, like, how do you want to pay for your locker?
30:48Uh...
30:49Do you take candy canes?
30:51Dude, I love those.
30:54Huh?
30:55Ahhh!
30:56Do you take candy canes?
30:57Dude!
30:58I love those!
30:59The perfect toy, eh?
31:01Hmm...
31:02I wish I'd known about that a few years ago.
31:19Why? Are you a designer?
31:22Nah, but I used to be a grandpa.
31:25Really? You don't look a day over 200.
31:28Thanks.
31:31What do you mean, used to be?
31:33It's a long story.
31:35Let's just say they don't come over to my house for Christmas dinner anymore.
31:41Well, Bert, this is going to solve all your gift-giving problems.
31:46That's really something, kid.
31:48Wait, I still have to turn it on.
31:51This is why I'm going to be the next...
32:08There they are!
32:15Over there!
32:16Get them!
32:17See if I ever bring you to the park again.
32:24Boy, oh boy.
32:27Being an actual child is much more complicated than I thought.
32:31Oh, I don't know why I ever thought a number could solve everything.
32:35Me neither.
32:37Life stinks.
32:39Here's my list.
32:40Why are you so stuck on numbers anyway?
32:43I don't know.
32:44I guess it's just the way I think about things.
32:48Like, like now, all I can think about is that I have one mom and one dad and two brothers.
32:53And how my mom gave us each one music box last Christmas and each box played one song and mine was the 12 days of Christmas because she knows that's my favorite.
33:02And how my mom gives me an average of 4.3 hugs a day and my dad and I lose 8.2 balls every time we play golf in the snow and my brothers and I stay up too late 2.1 times a week and we laugh 37.9 times each before we fall asleep.
33:18And on a scale of 1 to 10 where 10 is missing them all very, very much and wishing I were home, then I would see that I'm at 11, maybe even 11.5.
33:33I'm sorry I got you in trouble.
33:36I'll give you a list to my dad.
33:48But I don't understand.
33:51I mean, where's everybody going?
33:53We haven't even got the party started yet.
33:55Don't you see, Daryl?
33:56The party's over.
33:58It's time to put away childish things.
34:01But childish things are fun.
34:02No, it can never work.
34:04Christmas is a lovely dream.
34:06But I'm no dreamer, so you're going to have to go be the dreamer that dreamed his own dream in his own dreamy way on the street of broken dreams.
34:18Goodbye.
34:21Yeah, but...
34:21Can't strike the set?
34:23That was brilliant.
34:24Heartbreaking yet satirical.
34:25Earnest yet mocked.
34:27I gotta get to editing.
34:28Later.
34:48Mel, what are you doing up there?
34:53I can't find a sleigh.
34:55Maybe Daryl took it.
34:57Hey, it wasn't me.
35:00Well, where is it then?
35:02I don't know.
35:04I was looking for the meaning of Christmas.
35:06Did you find it?
35:07Oh, well, you know, a little.
35:10Not exactly.
35:12No.
35:13You?
35:14No.
35:15What about you, Mel?
35:17You find any meaning?
35:18Sure.
35:19It's right here in my pocket.
35:20Whoops.
35:21Must have fallen out.
35:22No, I didn't find the meaning.
35:24So if none of us found it, what do we do now?
35:28Well, I guess we'll have to go home and tell Mom and Dad.
35:33And how do we do that with no sleigh?
35:35Well, now don't get mad at me.
35:37I didn't lose it.
35:38Well, who should I get mad at?
35:40I want to get mad at someone.
35:41Ho, ho, ho.
35:45Ho, ho, ho.
35:47Ho, ho, ho.
35:50Busby, have you hidden a sleigh?
35:52Yeah, but it's going to be dark soon.
35:56When do you want me to head back?
35:57January.
35:58What?
35:59It's a disaster, Busby.
36:00I've worked my fingers to the bone today,
36:03but I just haven't been able to convince Santa and Mrs. Claude
36:06to give up on those boys.
36:08I think this will do the trick, though.
36:09But with no sleigh, Santa can't deliver the presents.
36:14Sure, some kids will be unhappy this year,
36:17but once Santa's reputation is ruined,
36:19it'll be easy to do a hostile takeover
36:21and rebuild the organization from the ground up
36:24with me in charge.
36:25So get a nice hotel room, order room service,
36:29and I'll call you in a week or so.
36:31Oh, and Merry Christmas.
36:34Oh, boy.
36:35Oh!
36:36Well, why don't we go and look for it?
36:39I mean, how many places could it be, realistically?
36:42Six million, maybe seven.
36:44Were you stuck with the numbers?
36:46I'm just trying to be helpful.
36:54Oh, dear, look at that.
36:56Six o'clock already.
36:58Guess the boys aren't coming back.
37:01Don't tell me you've given up on them.
37:02I know it's hard, but I think we just have to face it.
37:05Christmas is ruined.
37:07He's right, Bernice.
37:08Something's wrong.
37:09I'm going to go after them.
37:10What?
37:11I mean, they've got the only sleigh.
37:13Nah, they've just got the new one.
37:15Come on, Bernice.
37:18But, but, but you see...
37:20She...
37:21She was my first sleigh.
37:25Put 17 billion miles on her in only 300 years.
37:29And she never gave me a lick of trouble.
37:32But even if that old crate held together, what's going to pull it?
37:35The boys have all the reindeer.
37:37Not all of them.
37:39You're not thinking of using Gert?
37:41She's ancient.
37:42She can only see out of one eye.
37:44Oh, the boys have some magic pets we can probably add on.
37:47And Gert will only have to pull me.
37:50No presents.
37:51I'm going with you.
37:52Bernice, if you go, who's going to watch the store?
37:55Oh, hey, I can certainly keep an eye on things.
37:59See?
37:59Well, all right.
38:01Let's go wake up, Gert.
38:09So we'll just get one of these people to give us a ride.
38:12You think somebody's going to give us a ride to the North Pole?
38:15Do you have any idea how far that is?
38:17Three thousand seven hundred and thirty-
38:18Good morning, you, Roy.
38:20On Gert, on Toothy, on Furry and Fuzzy, on Finny, on Fishy, on Pelican.
38:31Well, at least they're waving back.
38:33That's because they think we're three goofs in Santa's suits.
38:36Well, if we get a ride, who's telling Dad we lost the sleigh?
38:41I say we draw icicles.
38:42You always melt mine, so I am the short one.
38:45Do not.
38:46Do so.
38:46Do not.
38:47Do so.
38:54Do not.
38:55Do so.
38:56Ho, ho, ho.
38:57It's dead.
38:58It really is dead.
39:00We're safe.
39:01I don't understand it.
39:15She never gave me a lick of trouble.
39:17We're sorry we didn't come back, but, uh, we, uh, had some trouble.
39:28Did something happen to you?
39:29Actually, it's, it's about the sleigh.
39:32You didn't scratch it, did you?
39:33No.
39:34Uh, we lost it.
39:37You lost it?
39:38Not on purpose.
39:40It was right here when we left.
39:41I can't believe it.
39:45Without the sleigh, we can't get back to the North Pole.
39:48We're sorry, Dad.
39:49We're sorry, Dad.
39:50Really sorry.
39:51Really, really sorry.
39:53After all these years, no presents.
39:57I'm going to let all those kids down.
40:00It's not your fault, dear.
40:02It's not anyone's fault.
40:04We all did what we thought was best.
40:12So how did you boys do on your quest?
40:14Let's just say losing the sleigh was the high point of our day.
40:18Well, on the bright side, we'll all be together on Christmas Eve.
40:21Hmm, someone seems to have the Christmas spirit.
40:43Wow, I guess Snorkel was right.
40:46Santa Monica does have Christmas spirit this thing.
40:51Are you really, Daryl?
40:55Uh, yeah.
40:56We were watching the stuff about the alien invasion,
40:59and then we changed the channel and saw your TV special.
41:02It totally changed our lives.
41:04Yeah, totally.
41:05It did?
41:05Especially the part about looking in somebody's eyes
41:07and seeing the magic of Christmas.
41:10That's so romantic.
41:12And then when they took apart the set at the end
41:15and we just stood there looking sad,
41:18it was totally about how we don't need a lot of stuff
41:20to have a great time.
41:21We just need, like, the joy in our hearts.
41:25We gotta go now.
41:26We're going caroling.
41:31Well, I do have the body.
41:34Mel, I was afraid I wouldn't see you again.
41:38Mom, Dad, this is Bert, and these are my brothers.
41:40Oh, you got a fine boy, mister.
41:43I think she sent him, but I can see where he gets it.
41:47Oh, hey, since you're here, Merry Christmas.
41:52Um, thanks.
41:53What are they?
41:55Perfect Christmas toys.
41:56Me and the boys started making them after you left.
42:00Oh, we've been giving them out all over town.
42:02Oh, that's great.
42:03What do they do?
42:04It isn't what they do that makes them perfect.
42:07It's the fact that we made them ourselves.
42:10At least, that's what my granddaughter told me
42:13about the one I gave her.
42:14Bye!
42:14Thanks, buddy.
42:19Gotta go.
42:20Glad I found you.
42:22You got my list?
42:23Uh, yeah.
42:24Well, about the whole present thing.
42:26Mm-mm, forget it.
42:28I thought about what you said, you know?
42:29About counting your blessings.
42:31I don't need this stuff.
42:33Counting your blessings?
42:34You know, one mom, two brothers, three hugs.
42:38You were right.
42:39I'm even going to share them with my sisters this Christmas.
42:42And we don't even have to go in the laundry hamper.
42:45And I hope you don't mind,
42:47but I send emails to all my friends about what you said.
42:50And they're sending to all their friends.
42:54Anyway, you can hang out on my roof whenever you want.
42:58Peace!
43:05Well, Nick, it looks like all of them
43:07found the meaning of Christmas.
43:09What are you talking about?
43:10I didn't build the perfect toy.
43:12I didn't find the perfect number.
43:14My party wasn't even a real party.
43:16Boys, the meaning of Christmas is in here.
43:22You mean we ate it?
43:24She means it's inside you.
43:28And you spread it to all these people.
43:33So, it's contagious?
43:37Very.
43:39We still ruined Christmas, though.
43:41Yeah, they're all happy tonight,
43:44but there won't be any presents tomorrow.
43:47Maybe we should do something about that.
43:50Hesby, what are you doing here?
43:52Uh, well, I thought I was trying to save Christmas,
43:57but it turns out I was just codependently enabling the needs
44:00of a dysfunctional hero icon on whom I'd projected my own desire
44:04for dominant attributes.
44:07Sorry, I've been listening to talk radio.
44:10Come on, let's go home.
44:12Oh, ho, ho, ho!
44:14So long, Santa dudes.
44:18Merry Christmas!
44:20Ho, ho, ho!
44:24Bye, thanks for all your help.
44:26I hear they're hiring in the oil fields down in Alaska.
44:30Don't call us.
44:31We'll call you.
44:33Hello?
44:34Busby, good news.
44:36I've arranged it so the whole Claus family is out of commission.
44:40I just fired the elves,
44:41which will free up capital for the new assembly line.
44:44Anyway, I need you to get back here with the sleigh right away.
44:48Will do, boss.
44:49What are you doing here?
44:51You had direct orders to stay in the real world
44:54until I called you.
44:55Well, put on your snowshoes
44:58and start walking because you are fired.
45:01Are you sure you're not part troll, Snorkel?
45:05Sir, I'm so glad you found Busby
45:08when I realized the little troublemaker
45:11had stolen the sleigh.
45:13What's that for?
45:16Oh, I want you to shovel the walk.
45:18The walk?
45:20We have a walk?
45:21Where does it end?
45:22Greenland.
45:23And when you're done with that,
45:25you'll report back to your new boss,
45:27Busby.
45:31Time to load the sleigh, boss.
45:39But leave room for four.
45:41My boys are going with me.
45:43What?
45:43We are?
45:44We are?
45:44We are?
45:45We are?
45:45We are?
45:45We are?
45:46We are?
45:46We are?
45:47We are?
45:47We are?
45:48We are?
45:48From now on, this operation is Santa and sons.
45:51Bernice, I guess I'm just not ready to retire after all.
45:57Leave room for five, Busby,
45:59so we can all be together on Christmas.
46:01Yeah!
46:01Hooray!
46:07All right, boys, try this now.
46:09Ho, ho, ho.
46:11Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
46:16Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
46:20Yes, we'll have to work on that.
46:23Ho, ho, ho, ho.
46:26Merry Christmas.
46:29Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
46:46Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho
47:16Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
