- A perfect gingerbread house

Takes careful planning, louise.

- I know, ruby.

And we've got everything we need:

Button candies, sugar wafers, candy canes,

Chocolate sprinkles, and gingerbread.

- And I know just the thing

To stick everything together.

- Worms?

Both: worms?

[Laughter]

- Max, we're building

A beautiful gingerbread house for grandma.

There are no worms

In beautiful gingerbread houses.

- What's that, ruby?

- It's icing sugar.

When we mix it with water,

It'll be just like glue.

- Oh, I get it.

That's what we'll use

To stick things onto our gingerbread house.

- Right.

I'll stir while you add the water.

- Okay, ruby.

- Oh, hi, max.

Would you like to help?

Here, you can hold the bowl.

- Button candies

Make the perfect shingles for the roof.

- Perfect.

- What else do we need on our gingerbread house?

- Worms!

Both: ew!

- Oh, those are the worms you were talking about.

I don't think we want

Your gummy worms

On our beautiful gingerbread house.

Okay, louise.

It's time to build our house.

You hold the walls up

While I brush on the icing sugar glue.

Now we put the pieces together

And press tight.

- Oh, this is so exciting.

- Okay, let's try letting go.

Both: yay!

Aw.

- Maybe we need more icing sugar.

- Careful, louise.

Not too much water.

Hmm.

Not sticky enough.

I think we need more icing sugar.

- Worms.

- [Screams]

Oh, no.

- It's okay, louise.

We still have some more.

Max, louise and I are trying to make

A beautiful gingerbread house,

And your gummy worms are not beautiful.

So please take your worms back.

- [Giggles]

I think they want to stay with you, ruby.

- [Sighs]

While we're building

Our gingerbread house in the kitchen,

Why don't you build something

In the living room?

Have fun.

- Worms.

Beep!

[Engine chugging]

Worms.

- While you mix the icing sugar,

I'll make a front walk for the house

With chocolate sprinkles.

- Thanks, louise.

This batch is going to be just right.

Are you ready to try the walls again?

- Sure, ruby.

- There.

That should hold.

- It's holding.

[Gasps]

Both: aw.

- Hold them up again, quick, louise.

I think they just need more glue.

Huh?

- Worms.

- Whoa.

[Gasps]

Oh, no.

- Max, I told you.

Your worms don't belong

On our gingerbread house.

We need to find something

To keep you busy here in your room.

Aha.

I think I see a job for fireman max.

[Gorilla screeches]

You like to come to the rescue,

Don't you, max?

Oh, no.

Screaming green alien gorilla

Has been caught in an avalanche.

Who will save him?

If only fireman max were here.

He'd save him.

You know what to do, fireman max.

Beep!

[Gorilla screeches]

Both: it's working.

- Now for the roof.

Steady now.

We did it.

It's staying up.

Both: yay.

[Rumbling]

Oh, no.

- And there's only enough icing sugar left

For one last batch.

[Helicopter blades thudding]

- Worms.

Beep!

Ruby and louise: ew!

- Uh, oh.

- It's all gone.

What are we going to do now?

- You'll think of something, ruby.

- Max, please take back your worms.

These gummy worms

Won't unstick from my hand.

- Here, let me help.

They really are sticky, aren't they?

- [Gasps]

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

- Worms.

- Okay, grandma,

You can open your eyes now.

- Oh, my.

[Together]: surprise.

- [Gasps]

What a beautiful gingerbread house.

Now...

Oh, I see you've used chocolate sprinkles

For the walk

And candy canes for the fence,

Oh, and button candies

For the shingles on the roof.

But wha--

What did you use

To stick the walls together

So beautifully?

- Well, it's a special recipe we made up

With icing sugar and water and...

- Worms.

- [Laughs]

- Christmas.

- Well, that's the lights done.

Now for the ornaments.

- Christmas?

- [Sighs]

It was a wonderful christmas, max.

But it's over now,

And it's time to put

All the christmas decorations away.

[Laughs]

Max.

I love christmas too.

It's too bad it only comes once a year.

But that just makes it more special.

Don't you think?

Well, this box is full.

Time to start filling the next one.

Don't be sad that christmas is over.

Now we can start thinking about

Other holidays that come next,

Like valentine's day

And easter and halloween.

There.

I've got all the decorations

From this side of the tree.

Now I just have to take down the decorations

On the other side.

Oh.

Thanks, max.

This'll go a lot faster if you help.

Undecorating the tree

Is not nearly as much fun

As decorating the tree.

But when we take the ornaments down,

We can think about

How much fun christmas was.

We were lucky to get

So many nice gifts this year.

You got your build-a-world construction kit,

And I got a new tea set.

Hmm.

There.

All the decorations

Are finally off the tree.

[Gasps]

Where did all the decorations go?

- Christmas.

- Oh, max, I know how you feel.

But christmas is over,

And all the decorations have to come down.

- Christmas!

- Whoa.

Aha.

Here, max.

Why don't you play

With your remote control robot

While I finish taking down the decorations?

- [Sighs]

Christmas.

Beep!

- Oh.

[Laughs]

Well, at least this time

I know they're going in the box

And not back on the tree.

[In robotic voice] thank you, mr. Robot.

Beep!

Almost got it.

There.

Wow.

That was a high one.

[Mechanical whirring]

[Sighs]

There are the last ornaments.

Now what's next?

Ah, our christmas stockings

Have to come down.

- [Gasps]

Christmas.

- It's okay, max.

They're empty now,

So there's no reason to keep them up.

I know.

Why don't you make something

With your new build-a-world kit,

Something special that will cheer both of us up?

While you do that,

I'll take down all our pretty christmas cards.

Oh, here's the one I got from louise

With a picture of a beautifully decorated

Christmas tree on it.

[Wooden clanking]

- Christmas.

- Don't you just love

To get christmas cards, max?

[Clinking]

Max?

Oh, well, I don't blame him for leaving.

Taking down decorations isn't much fun.

This one's from grandma.

"Merry christmas

"To my two favorite grand-bunnies.

Love, grandma."

That's the last of the christmas cards.

Now, what can I tie them together with?

Aha.

Curly shirley,

You don't mind if I borrow

Your pretty christmas ribbon, do you?

You won't need it again till next year.

Thanks.

There.

Now all that's left is the garland.

[Humming]

I love a long, long christmas garland.

[Sighs]

There's no doubt about it now.

Christmas is over.

[Sighs]

I know what I can get

To cheer max and me up:

Christmas cookies

And hot chocolate with marshmallows.

Yum, yum.

And I'll use the new tea set

I got for christmas.

[Cheerful humming]

Beep!

[Mechanic cranking]

Beep!

[Engine chugging]

[Beeping]

Oops.

I forgot the marshmallows.

I want everything

To be just right for max.

[Humming cheerfully]

[Gorilla screeching]

[Gorilla screeching]

There, I have everything I need:

Christmas cookies, hot chocolate, marshmallows.

Oh, no.

I forgot the napkins.

[Laughs]

[Helicopter blades thudding]

- [Gasps]

- Max, I have a surprise for you.

Max?

Where is he?

Christmas cookies and hot chocolate

And marshmallows.

That's odd.

Marshmallows are max's favorite.

[Gasps]

The christmas garland.

Where is it going?

Max?

Max?

Are you hiding?

Hmm.

- Christmas.

- Come out, come out wherever you are.

Hmm.

[Glass clinking]

What's that sound?

Max?

You know you're not supposed

To be in my room unless you ask.

[Gasps]

[Bright music]

Oh, max.

It's the most beautiful christmas tree

I've ever seen.

It's just like having a second...

- Christmas!

[Noisemaker trumpeting]

- [Laughs]

[Noisemaker trumpeting]

Max, you're not supposed

To blow the new year's eve noisemakers yet.

[Noisemaker trumpeting]

Oh!

We have to wait until the new year comes in.

No, it's not going

To come in through the door, max.

I'll explain it to you.

Just like christmas eve

Is the night before christmas,

New year's eve is the night before

The start of the new year.

When the new year starts,

You blow on the noisemakers

And say, "happy new year."

And then you celebrate

And eat all kinds of yummy goodies.

- Happy new year?

- Uh-uh.

Not yet.

The new year starts at midnight.

That's way past our bedtime.

But this year,

Grandma said we can stay up with her

To watch the new year come in.

- That's right, ruby.

We're going to have

Our very own new year's eve party.

[Noisemaker trumpeting]

- Happy new year.

- It isn't time yet, max.

- Why don't you show him on the clock?

- Okay, grandma.

Come on, max.

See the two hands on the clock?

Well, when both hands

Point straight up like this,

Then it's midnight.

And that's when we say...

[Noisemaker trumpeting]

- Happy new year.

- [Laughs]

But not until midnight.

That's when we get to eat

Your special happy new year cookies.

Right, grandma?

- That's right, ruby.

I made a special plateful

Just for the three of us.

- Look, max.

They're clock cookies, and the time is midnight.

- I'll put them right here by the clock

So that we can have them

On the first stroke of the new year.

[Clock chiming]

- [Gasps]

That means not until midnight, max.

So what are we going to do

For our new year's eve party, grandma?

- Well, it isn't a new year's eve party

Without party hats.

Come on.

Let's pick out our hats.

- Yes!

- Yay!

- Oh, look.

A tiara.

[Laughs]

That's perfect.

Which one are you going to wear, grandma?

- I think I like this one.

Ole!

[Bold guitar and trumpet music]

What do you think?

- [Laughs]

I love it.

[Noisemaker trumpeting]

- Happy new year.

- Not yet.

Remember what I said

About the hands on the clock?

See, max?

The hands are not both at the top,

So it's not midnight yet.

Come on, max.

It's time for our new year's eve party

To get hopping.

- That's right.

And I know just what'll get it hopping:

Some fancy new year's eve drinks.

Why don't I go and get them

And you two start playing a game?

- I know.

How about what-am-i charades?

You know how to play that.

Don't you, max?

Do you want me to show you how?

Okay.

Let me think.

[Gasps]

Oh, I know.

I'm some kind of animal.

What am i?

- I'm an elephant.

See?

Now you try one.

Think of something, and then act it out.

Hmm.

You're a diver about to do a high dive?

[Noisemaker trumpeting]

- Happy new year.

- Oh, now I get it.

You're grandma's clock at midnight.

It isn't time for happy new year yet.

Look, max.

Both hands aren't at the top.

- Who wants a fancy new year's eve drink?

- What's in a fancy

New year's eve drink, grandma?

- Oh, it's filled with my own special recipe

Of yummy juices

And some fizzy water to tickle our noses.

- Achoo!

- Here's to our first new year's eve party.

[All slurping]

[All belching]

[Laughter]

- What's next, grandma?

- Well, how about a snowball dance?

- I love snowball dances.

You know how that works.

Don't you, max?

You dance with your partner

Until someone says...

Ruby and grandma: snowball.

- [Laughs]

And then you switch partners.

Come on, grandma.

Let's dance.

[Sweet instrumental music]

♪

- You dance divinely, ruby.

- Oh, thank you, grandma.

So do you.

- Do you think it's time

For a snowball, ruby?

- I think so, grandma.

Together: snowball.

- Max?

[Noisemaker trumpeting]

- Happy new year.

- Max.

It's still not midnight yet.

Look at the clock.

I think maybe we should think of something

We can all do together.

- I know just the thing.

- Why are we lying down?

- Just wait, ruby.

You'll see.

- Now, max, you lie down

And put your head on ruby's tummy.

[Laughs]

- Grandma, your jiggling tummy's making my head bounce.

[Laughing]

[All laughing]

[All snoring]

[Clock chiming]

[Noisemaker trumpeting]

- What?

What is it?

- Oh, I must have fallen asleep.

- Max.

You're supposed to wait till--

[Gasps]

It's midnight!

That means it's time to say...

All: happy new year.
