OLD MAN:
Ah, Christmas...

twinkling lights, mistletoe,

the smell of pine,
and the taste of peppermint.

You know, people celebrate
the winter holidays

in many different ways.

What do you think,
young fella?

Are you ready for Christmas?

Yeah, Grandpa.

I sure hope Santa brings me
a lot of presents.

Presents, huh?

Well, that reminds me of
a very special Christmas.

I bet you got a lot
of presents that year.

Well, just listen.

It started off like
any other Christmas.

Everyone was in
the holiday spirit

coming together to celebrate
and share their traditions.

Ernie, this is going
to be awesome.

I'm sure learning a lot

about how other cultures
celebrate the holidays.

And not to mention, all the
great food we get to eat.

Hi, guys.

Ooh, shrimp.

in Australia, Christmas
comes during the summer

and my family barbecues shrimp.

I got to go to the market.

Will you guys take over?

Yeah, sure, Ernie.

I wish Billy was here with us.

Yeah, but it's cool he went
back for his family reunion.

Guys, I just think
it's wonderful

- that we get to celebrate together.
- Absolutely.

Thank you.

Why are those insipid humans

even more disgustingly
cheery than usual?

It's a uniquely
human phenomenon, sire

known as the "holiday spirit."

It makes everyone joyous.

And unites them
in a common bond of love.

Silence! i told you never to
utter that word in my presence.

I think there's something
we can use here.

It seems
their individual cultures

cause them to celebrate
in different ways.

We should take advantage
of these differences.

Brilliant scheme, my dear.

We shall see to it
that their diversity

Shall be their very undoing.

Then what happened, Grandpa?

Did the evil king ruin Christmas
for the Power Rangers?

Hold on, youngster.
Hold on.

I'll get to that.

The Rangers were still
full of holiday cheer

preparing for the banquet

With no idea what
King Mondo was plotting.

Meanwhile, though

there were these
other two fellas

who just seemed
to have a knack

for always getting
into trouble.

I wish somebody would
invent wrapping paper

with round edges.

Let's just get this done
before stone gets back.

- ( chattering )
- ( gasps )

Ow!

Shh! Shh!

( stammering )

Shh! Shh! Shh!

Boys...

this is no time for your
crazy teenage dancing.

( both groaning )

We have ourselves... a caper.

Great. I'll have mine

on a bagel, lox and some onions.

I mean a case.

- Uh-huh.
- Uh-huh.

- The case of the missing fruitcakes.
- Fruitcakes?

Yes. Someone's been lifting
fruitcakes all over town.

Must be strong.

My Aunt Millie makes fruitcakes.

You'd need a crane
to lift those puppies.

Just find the fruitcakes.

Now.

Yes, sir.

Now!

( groaning )

ZORDON:
A very merry Christmas

to you, Alpha.

Aah! How did you know?

I love them.

Thank you, Thank you.

You're welcome, Alpha.

They'll keep the circuitry
in my feet warm all winter long.

And now, here's my present
for you, Zordon.

I hope you like it.

I programmed it myself.

Here we go.

( chuckling ):
Thank you, Alpha.

That was very thoughtful.

You look just spiffy, Zordon.
h*, h*, h*.

You see, we light one candle

on each of the eight
nights of hanukkah.

that represents freedom
for the Jewish community.

So that's what that means.

That's really interesting,
Raymond.

Tanya, what's all this
stuff you brought in?

Oh, I'm celebrating

the African-American
holiday called kwanzaa.

You know, I was wondering:
what is kwanzaa?

Kwanzaa is from Swahili.

It means "the first harvest."

It starts December
and ends January .

It's a celebration

of African-American heritage.

Sounds like a great idea.

Oh, it's wonderful.

The seven candles represent

the seven principles
we strive for:

unity, self-determination

responsibility to community

cooperation,
purpose, creativity

and faith.

I think it's interesting

to see what we have
in common

as well as
what's different.

I just can't believe

there's so many ways
to celebrate.

When I'm through with you,
you won't be celebrating at all.

Sire, I have invented
a new weapon

called the Bias Blaster.

It causes its victims
to only see things their way.

Perfect!
Now, Sprocket, go to Earth.

Use it on the Rangers.

Great idea, Pop!

The Rangers'll never know
what hit them.

Leave it to me.

This is where the last
fruitcake was missing.

Our suspect liked fruitcakes.

What does that
tell us about him?

That he's my Aunt Millie.

No!
If he eats said fruitcakes

there's bound to be a...
trail of crumbs.

My Aunt Millie's
fruitcake's pretty crumby.

Will you quit it
with Aunt Millie, already

And help me find some crumbs?

Look!

A green thing.

Look!

A red thing!

Look!

Another green thing!

Look! Another red thing!

Skull, we're hot on the trail now.

How very festive.

So why wasn't I invited
to your little party?

You're definitely
not on the list.

Whoa. Metal dudes!

Back off, gear-head!

Don't you want my present?

Happy holidays, humans.

Don't say I never
gave you anything.

( groaning )

What was I talking about?

Oh... okay, so
the menorah represents...

You know, that's
very, very interesting

but what's
really important

is the Christmas tree.

Why don't you
go chop one down

and bring it to me?

( whistling )

You want me to go get you

your silly little
Christmas tree?

Pfft.

Wait a minute.
What's that supposed to mean?

It means you better watch out

'cause if Santa Claus
sees you're mad

he ain't gonna bring you
presents, is he?

You know something?
This banquet thing is lame.

I'm out of here.

Good riddance.

Can you believe that guy?

He wants to waltz in here
and steal our Christmas.

"Christmas"?
Don't you mean my kwanzaa?

For your information,
Miss Tanya

this whole season
is about Christmas.

Hello?
Who made you holiday monitor?

Some countries don't
celebrate holidays

this time of year--

like Korea.

I don't know why I'm here.

Like I asked.

Talk to the hand, okay?

You know, a lot...
that's what I thought.

Maybe this holiday thing wasn't
such a good idea after all.

I couldn't agree more.

It's a big joke.

It's working!
Excellent, son.

The Rangers are practically
at each others' throats.

So much for peace on Earth.

All right! We split up
the Power Rangers!

Now we take over the Earth.

All in good time.
Wait until they see what's next.

I can't believe
the Power Rangers

were fighting
with each other.

I don't like those machines.

No, that makes
two of us, buddy.

Meanwhile, Zordon and Alpha
realized what had happened.

Ay-yi-yi!

Everyone's fighting.

We must help the Rangers
break the spell, Zordon.

I'm afraid that is not possible.

King Mondo's Bias Blaster

has tapped into the most
powerful evil known to mankind.

Weapons are useless
against this hatred.

You mean, the Rangers must
figure this out themselves?

There is only one way to stop
the spread of this evil.

Each Ranger must find
within his heart

the kindness and understanding

that is the key
to every human soul.

Oh, you can do it, Rangers.

I should have known this
would never have worked out.

I'm just going
to take my tamales

and get out of here.

Me too. I don't care

How any of you-all
spend your holidays.

Whatever.
I thought you left.

I am sick of all of this.

I just came to get my things.

Yeah, well, they're right
where you left them.

Everything's working out well.

Now it's time to implement
part two of my plan.

Part two, dear? Ooh.

Quite.

We all know how fond humans are

of their petty trinkets
and baubles.

I shall confiscate
all of their playthings.

That should annihilate

their wretched holiday spirit
completely.

Exactly what I was
thinking, dear.

Well, just get your stuff

and get out of here.

KAT:
Look, would you just be quiet, okay?

Hey, what's going on?

What happened?

Can't you see?

Looks like everything is gone.

Duh.

Duh-- I think we can see that,
Mr. Tommy.

Get over it.

Whee! Look at all this loot!

Now the Power Rangers will have
nothing to be merry about.

Boo-hoo-hoo!

( laughing )

I guess we won't be
celebrating anything.

I guess that's that.

Hi.

Is this where the holiday party
is tonight?

I brang a poster
to hang on the wall.

I'm sorry, sweetie.

I think the party's
been canceled.

But why?

Somebody ruined it
by taking all of our stuff.

Well, my mommy says the greatest
gift is the gift of love.

Yeah, well, you got
a lot to learn, kid.

Why are you mad

at each other?

Sometimes people

just don't agree on things.

When I get mad,
my mommy sings me a song.

You want to hear it?

Sure.

Got nothing better to do.

Oh, man, what are we doing,
guys?

We've still got
a lot to celebrate.

Yeah, but what
about the gifts?

The decorations?
Tanya's stuff?

My menorah?
It's all gone.

Raymond, that doesn't matter.

The important thing is,
we're all still here.

We should never disrespect
anyone else's culture

or traditions ever again.

Hey, look, man,
I'm really sorry

about what I said earlier.

I'm sorry, too, man.

What I was saying
was just not cool.

I don't know
what got into me.

I think I have an idea

but let's forget about it for now.

Shall we hang up this poster?

Yeah.

Okay, let's do it.

Ready?

Here we go.

ALL: All right.

Hey, you guys,
we still have time.

Why don't we see if we can
make this banquet happen?

Okay.

Okay.

All right, let's do it.

No, it just can't be!

Hmm. What happened
to your Bias Blaster, Klank?

My readings show
that its effects were dispelled

by a very strong counter-dose
of, uh... of, uh...

Of what, Klank?

Stop sputtering and spit it out!

Well, of love, Your Majesty.

Oh!

How dare you say
that confounded word again?!

Another green thing.

There's another red thing.

A green thing!

And another red thing there.

A green thing.

There's another red...

Bulky,
I think we found something.

A giant fruitcake.

BULKY:
That's it, but what kind

of warped and twisted mind

could create such a hideous

grotesque monstrosity?

BOTH: Surprise!

Merry Christmas!

RITO:
It's a giant fruitcake.

What do you think?

Do you like it?
Do you like it?

You made that?

For us?

All for you.

The fruitcake was Rito's idea.

I wanted to go
with the cheese log

But, hey, who listens to me?

It's really... big.

Yes, and full of fruity goodness.

Mmm. Ahh.

Ah, gee, guys, thanks.

You realize of course
that we are going to have

to replace the
missing fruitcake.

Not to worry, partner.

Hello, Aunt Millie?

Oh, it's Eugene.

Yeah, listen, I got
a small favor to ask you.

Uh-huh.

Wow. This is great.

Look at all the people
that showed up.

This is terrific.

This proves that we can learn
from one another

despite our different
backgrounds.

Where's the Christmas tree?

Here it is, Ernie.

I wanted to get a real big one.

Beautiful.

Pretty cool, huh?

What do you guys think?

- Yeah.
- Looks great.

Oh, Ernie, we have something

we want to contribute.

Oh, a menorah.

Wow.

Raymond,
would you show us

how to light
the candles properly?

Kat, I'd love to.

Hey, Tanya, hope
we got this right.

We went to the library

and looked it up.

Thank you, guys.

This is so sweet.

And now, for the
most important part

of the holidays--

the food

( all laughing )

So, you see

Christmas isn't only
about getting things.

It's about giving

and being
with people you love.

( laughs )

That's right. It is.

Very good. Very good.

You know, you're pretty smart
for a little pip-squeak.

That's enough stories
for tonight, Tom.

It's getting late.

Oh...

Well, you heard
your grandmother.

BOY: Okay.

( doorbell chimes )

I'll get it.

Hello, dear.

Hey, Grandma.
How you doing?

I'm here to pick up
the pip-squeak.

He's right this way.

Mom and Dad said to say
"hi" and thanks for baby-sitting.

Oh, we love to do it.

Okay, little bro, let's go.

( chuckles )

- ( electronic beeps )
- Oh, oh...

Do you guys think

you could watch him
a little bit longer?

There's something

- I got to take care of.
- Of course.

We wouldn't mind at all.

Thanks.

He's always got something
to take care of.

Weah, well,
must run in the family.

( Tommy and Katherine chuckle )

Hello!

Hello!

Who made you
holiday monitor?

You know, I couldn't
agree better.

More, at all, whatever.

- Duh.
- Duh.

- Duh!
- Duh.

Yes, I'm nervous.

The camera's there.

You figure they'd
invent rent...

you figure
someone would...

you figure someone
would invent

wrapping paper with
round edges by now.

Paul didn't like that take.

( gagging )
