I love your new skates,
emily elizabeth.
Thanks, nina.
I got them this morning.
Santa knew
just what I wanted
for christmas.
He certainly did.
Come on. Let's go.
I'm right
behind you, nina.
Be careful, girls.
W-whoa. Whoa!
Oh! Ooh!
[Barks]
Don't worry, clifford.
I'm ok.
Ha ha ha!
She just needs
a little practice
in her new skates.
[Barks]
I'll be fine, boy.
You go on now
and play with jorge.
[Barking]
Jorge: wow!
What a mountain.
Hoo hoo!
I've got a big idea.
Let's run to the top
And body-sled
down the other side.
Great.
Last one to the top
is a rotten dog biscuit.
Whoa!
Hey, wait!
Ha ha ha!
Ooh, whee!
Ha ha ha!
That was fantastic.
Come on, clifford.
It's fun.
Ok. Here I come.
Whoo hoo!
[Barks]
Ohh! Oh! Oh!
Whoa! Ha ha!
Oh. Ooh.
Are you ok,
clifford?
Who is that?
Oh, that dog
is a real hero,
clifford.
Nina read me a book
all about him.
Huh. What did he do?
Well, once there was
this town in alaska,
And a lot
of the people there
got really sick.
They needed
a special medicine fast.
And? And?
And he was the leader
of a dog-sled team
That ran all day and all night
through a huge snowstorm
To bring the medicine
to the town.
Oh, wow.
His owner must have been
really proud of him.
Yeah, really,
really proud.
I want emily elizabeth
to be really, really
proud of me.
So I'm going to be
a hero, too, jorge.
Yeah, but emily elizabeth
Is already really, really
proud of you, clifford.
Wow. Maybe I'll even
get my own statue.
Oh. Oh.
Ugh. Nngh.
Oh, here you go,
buddy.
Nngh...uh!
Ha ha!
Aw, thanks, jorge.
Ok. Now I'm ready
to be a hero.
Uh, ohhh!
Whoa.
Sorry, emily elizabeth.
Are you ok?
Sure, but look at nina.
She's skating backwards.
I see that.
Can you skate
backwards, dad?
Uh-huh.
It's not too hard.
Would you like me
to teach you?
Oh, that'd be great.
Ok. First,
you turn around.
Oh, whoa! Ooh!
Ha ha ha!
Don't worry.
You'll get it.
Just slow down
a little.
[Sniffing]
Slow down a little,
clifford.
Uh, sorry.
I can't, jorge.
What exactly are you
looking for?
Uh, well, you know,
someone to rescue.
There must be someone
I can save around here.
Ok, if you say so.
Look.
D'oh!
There's someone
who needs me, up there.
Huh? Ha!
That's just
a squirrel's tail.
I know, but the rest
of her is stuck
in that tree, jorge.
I've got to help her.
Huh! Uh!
Uh, hey, jorge,
Will you give me
a boost?
Ok, buddy. Hop on.
Huh!
Uh! Huh!
Hey, don't worry,
squirrel.
I'll get you out
of there.
Uhh...uh!
Ah, got you.
[Chattering]
Oh, whoa whoa!
Ooh!
Oh, did you
see that, jorge?
Did you?
I rescued her.
I pulled her
out of that hole
she was trapped in.
I'm a hero.
Oh, gosh,
I don't know, clifford.
She doesn't look
very grateful.
Maybe she wasn't trapped,
after all, clifford.
Maybe she was just
feeding her family.
[Chattering]
Uh, right.
Maybe she was.
Look out!
Whoa!
Oh!
W-w-whoa, oh, oh.
Ha ha ha!
That's it,
emily elizabeth.
You're doing great.
Thanks, dad.
Do you think
I can do it alone?
You'll never know
until you try.
Ok. Here I go.
Uh...oh, uh!
Ooh!
Ohh...
Oops.
Looks like you need
a little more practice.
A lot more practice.
Come on, then.
Let's get to it.
Are you gonna rescue someone
with an apple, clifford?
Uh-huh,
a hungry animal.
Wow. What kind
of animal?
Well, I'm not sure.
I didn't really get
a good look at him.
He's inside a burrow,
and it's kind of dark
in there.
Oh. Then how do you
know he's hungry?
Oh, he's hungry,
all right.
He can't even move,
he's so hungry.
I think he's so weak
that he fell asleep
Right in the middle
of the day.
You know, clifford,
some animals
like to sleep
During the day
on purpose.
They come out
at night to eat.
He's in here, jorge.
I'm going to try
to wake him up so he
can get this apple.
[Barking]
[Psss]
What was that?
[Both sniff]
Uh! Skunk!
Skunk!
Oh!
Aah!
Dad: good job,
emily elizabeth.
You're doing great.
Wow. You look
terrific.
Ok now.
You're headed for the curve.
So start to turn
a little.
Turn?
How do I do that?
Um, just lean
your body.
Lean away from the curve.
Careful.
I'm trying.
Oh...oh...oh!
Uh!
Oh, my.
Are you ok?
I'm never going
to get this right.
Oh, I'm never gonna
be a hero, jorge.
Oh, that's ok,
clifford.
Being a hero isn't
that important, really.
Well, I guess not.
Yeah. Come on, buddy.
Let's go see how
the girls are doing
on their skates.
Ok.
Ohh...
Oh, look, jorge.
Emily elizabeth
looks so sad.
Yeah. I wonder
what's wrong.
I don't know,
but I'm gonna find out.
[Barks]
[Barks]
Clifford?
Where did you
come from, boy?
[Barks]
Ha ha!
Well, I'm sure glad
you're here.
I haven't been having
such a great day.
I'm trying to learn
how to skate backwards,
but it's hard.
I don't know
if I'll ever learn.
Oh, clifford,
you always make me
feel better,
And you know what?
Tomorrow I'm going
to come back here
And learn
to skate backwards.
Thank you for
cheering me up, boy,
And for being
the best friend
in the whole world.
[Barks]
Come on,
emily elizabeth.
We're gonna
build snowmen.
I'll be right there.
Come on, guys.
Emily elizabeth
sure looks happy now,
And it's all
because of you.
You know, jorge,
I bet being
someone's best friend
Feels just as good
as being a hero.
Maybe even better.
But they don't
make statues of you
For being
a best friend.
Oh, yes, they do.
Look.
Wow. It's me.
It sure is, buddy.
Come on.
[Both barking]
[Barks]
Emily elizabeth:
clifford, where are you, boy?
[Barks]
Want to read a story,
clifford?
[Barks]
Ok. Pick one out.
Ha ha!
Thanks, clifford.
This looks like
a great story.
[Squeak]
Today's story is
"speckle and the vacation
for everyone."
"When speckle returned
from his vacation,
"He invited all of his friends
to his house
"To see a movie he'd made
just for them.
"They watched speckle
play on a sandy beach,
"Where he found
a fabulous sea shell
"That he brought back for reba,
"And when he learned how
to dance on a tropical island,
"He saved the flower necklace
for luna.
"They saw speckle
explore a deep, green forest
"And pick up a pinecone
just for ravi,
"Then climb to the very top
of a mountain,
"Where he spotted
a sparkling stone,
"Perfect for
darnell's collection.
"Seeing the wonderful sights and
having their very own souvenirs,
"Reba, ravi, luna, and darnell
"Felt like they had been
on speckle's vacation, too,
"And they'd all
had a wonderful time.
The end."
I love reading
stories together.
You know, clifford,
for such a small dog,
You sure are
a big reader.
[Barks]
Ah, this one
is my favorite.
I like this dolphin.
Look, clifford.
This ornament looks
just like you.
[Barks]
Hmm, how am I
gonna put this star
on top of the tree?
Here, nina.
Try this.
Thanks, shun.
Nngh...oop.
Uh...
No good.
[Barks]
Oh, look.
I think jorge
wants to help me.
[Barks]
[Barks]
Now clifford
wants to help, too.
Yay!
Yay!
[Doorbell rings]
Buongiorno, cara.
Hello, nina.
I just wanted
to bring everyone
A little
christmas present.
Really?
Oh, and here's
one for you
And one
for you, shun,
Oh, and one for you,
emily elizabeth.
All: thank you, mrs. Z.
Prego.
You're welcome.
Oh, and I think
tricksie
has something
For clifford
and jorge.
[Barks]
Oh, buon natale
a tutti.
Merry christmas,
everyone.
All: merry christmas.
[Both bark]
Wow. That was really
nice of mrs. Z.
It sure was.
We should do something
nice for her, too.
Oh, I know.
We can make her
a big basket
of christmas cookies.
That's
a great idea, nina.
I'll ask my mom
if she'll help me bake
the cookies tonight,
And then we can
decorate them tomorrow.
Oh, boy.
Christmas cookies.
Yum.
Hey, maybe some of them
will fall on the floor
and break.
Yeah, and then
we get to eat them.
Yes!
Yum!
Look, clifford.
It snowed last night.
That means we can
go sledding today.
[Barks]
Oh, but first, we
have to decorate those
cookies for mrs. Z.
Come on, boy.
Mmm, they
look delicious.
Ok. I've worked out
a system.
I'll put on
the icing.
Emily elizabeth,
you can put on
the sprinkles...
Ok.
And, shun,
you can put on
the candy buttons.
You got it.
There.
Oops.
I guess you two
get a little snack.
I'll arrange the cookies
in a basket.
I can tie the ribbon
on the basket.
I'm always making bows
for the tails of my kites.
And I can write
a little christmas poem
to go with the cookies.
Let's do it.
Ok. Well,
that rhymes. Ok.
Here's my poem,
clifford.
"A basket of cookies
as fresh as can be
With the best
christmas wishes for
our friend mrs. Z."
What do you think?
[Barks]
[Doorbell rings]
Oh, my. Che--
oh. What is this?
Hi, mrs. Z.
We made you some
christmas cookies.
Oh, my. Sguarda.
How nice.
Look at these lovely
cookies, tricksie.
[Barks]
Oh, grazie tanto.
Thank you so much.
Merry christmas. Oh.
All:
merry christmas.
[Both bark]
It feels good to do
something nice for other people.
It sure does.
Uh-huh.
Now let's
go sledding.
Hi there,
jennie.
Hi, kids.
I'm glad we ran
into each other.
I have
a christmas gift
for each of you.
Really?
Ooh, it's holly.
How pretty.
All: thanks, jennie.
Merry christmas.
That looks
really christmassy.
We should make
jennie a big basket
of cookies, too.
You're right.
And you know what?
As long as we're
making cookies,
Let's make a batch
for mr. Solomon.
He makes those beautiful
handmade cards
For us every year.
Great idea,
And we should bake
some cookies for
the building super, too.
He's helpful
all year round.
Jennie, mr. Solomon,
mr. Horiat...
And mrs. Chen.
And don't forget
evan and vanessa.
Wow. This
is a big list.
This time, I'll ask my mom
to help bake the cookies.
That sounds
great, shun.
Ok. Now that
that's settled,
Let's go sledding.
[Whimpers]
Hey, it's dark
already.
Oh, well.
We can go tomorrow.
Sure, right after
we do the cookies.
Oh, this is gonna take
a lot of decorating.
We'd better work fast
if we want to go
sledding later.
Hurry, nina.
I have the sprinkles ready.
I'm frosting
as fast as I can.
Oh, no.
I'm all out
of frosting.
We'll have to go
to the grocery store
to get some more.
Well, let's hurry.
Oh, boy,
that sure looks fun.
There. That should
be enough frosting
for a zillion cookies.
Hi, kids.
Wait a minute.
I have something for you.
Here you go.
Merry christmas.
All:
merry christmas.
Cute hats, huh?
Definitely.
That was such
a nice thing for--
Oh, no.
You know
what this means,
don't you?
Now we have to make
even more cookies.
If we're giving cookies
to the t-shirt store owner,
We should give some
to the baker, too.
And
the crossing guard.
Oh, and the man who sells
pretzels in the park.
This time, I'll ask my mom
to help make the cookies.
I think we'll have
to ask all our moms.
Well, since we have to wait
till tomorrow to finish,
Let's go sledding.
Oh, it's
too late again.
Ohh...
Ohh...
Ohh...
Well, let's
get started.
More frosting.
More sprinkles, clifford.
I need somebody's finger
to tie this bow.
I'm busy.
Me, too.
Ah, there we go.
Oh!
"Eat up.
Merry christmas."?
It doesn't
even rhyme.
I don't have time
to make it rhyme.
[Both groan]
More frosting.
More frosting.
Ooh!
Oh!
Ohh, clifford,
Look what you did.
Don't blame clifford.
It's your fault
for going so fast.
No.
It's shun's fault
for putting so many
people on the list.
It's emily elizabeth's fault
for having so many friends.
It's nina's fault
for making cookies
in the first place.
[Both bark]
[Doorbell rings]
Merry christmas.
What?
You know, this won't
get you on our cookie list.
Huh?
Oh, my gosh.
I'm so sorry.
Merry christmas.
Uh, yeah. Thanks.
I can't believe
I said that.
You know what?
We're doing this all wrong.
Christmas is supposed to be
about being together
And celebrating
and having a good time,
Not fighting.
But it's also supposed
to be about doing
Nice things
for other people.
That's true,
but we don't have
to go overboard.
I guess
you're right.
There must be a way
we can share christmas
with everyone
And still have fun.
Merry christmas.
Merry christmas.
Merry christmas.
Oh, thanks.
Now, that's the way
to share christmas.
You said it.
It was great,
and now...
Anybody feel like sledding?
I do.
Come on.
Let's go.
[Both barking]
[Barks]
[Laughter]
Grr.
[Barks]
Emily elizabeth: clifford!
Oh, that's
emily elizabeth.
I got to go,
but if you'd like,
You can borrow
my sock spider
for a while.
Wow! Are you sure?
Sure, I'm sure.
Just take
good care of it.
Both: we will.
Emily elizabeth, voice-over:
clifford and his friends know
that when they borrow something,
It means they're
responsible for it.
Yuck. I hate rain.
Me, too.
Eww!
Eww!
The sock spider.
Clifford said to take
good care of it.
We can't
leave it out there.
It'll get all wet.
Emily elizabeth, voice-over:
when you act responsibly,
It shows that you care
and that you can be trusted.
That's why clifford's
idea to grow on for today
Is "be responsible."
Clifford's sock spider
is all safe.
All dry.
[Laughter]
