Mom, does every family
make cookies
On the first snow day
of the year?
No, not every family.
Making cookies
on the first snowfall
Is just our family's
tradition.
A tradition?
What's that?
Traditions are
the things people do
Year after year
on special days.
Well, I think
our tradition is delicious.
[Giggles]
[Snoring]
Oh, wow. Uh, did I
sleep late today.
Whoa. Hey, wait a second.
Something
is different out here,
But what is it?
Oh, ooh. Phew! Whoo!
I knew I'd figure it out.
It's snowing!
Oh, wow, wow-whee!
Oh, ga-gazowie!
Oh, I'm so happy!
Yippee zoom! Yippee zoom!
Yippee zoom!
Oh, yippee!
This has got to be
the greatest day of the year!
[Laughing]
Wait a second.
Where is everybody--
Clifford and jorge
and flo & zo?
Those guys would love this!
Ooh, I gotta tell 'em!
Vaoom!
[Tapping]
Ruff! Ruff! Ruff!
Heya, norville.
Heya, little redness.
So have you guys seen
what it's like out here?
It's a regular
winter wonderland.
I know! I know!
It's great!
Hey, listen up, pup.
Go get your muffler
And meet me down
in the courtyard.
It's time for some
serious snow play.
Aw, gee, norville.
I can't right now.
See, we have
a first snowfall
tradition.
First we make cookies,
And then
we decorate them,
And then we eat them,
And we're right
in the middle
Of the decorating
and eating part now.
Oh, yeah, wow.
That--that sounds great.
That's--oh, yeah, ok.
So, well--well, then
we can play in the snow later.
What first snow traditions
do you have, norville?
Me? Oh, well,
you know, uh, ooh,
all kinds of things.
And in fact, uh,
I have so many first,
uh, snowfall traditions
That you would get bored
just hearing me name
all of them.
Whoa! Wow! It sounds like
you're even busier today
than we are!
Oh, 10 times busier.
Yeah, lots and lots
of traditions.
Uh, in fact, I can't even
believe that I asked you
to play in the snow,
Because I don't really
have time today after all
With, you know,
with all those traditions
and--and stuff.
So thanks a lot
for reminding me there,
little red.
Well, I'd better
get started.
Ok, well, bye,
norville.
Have fun!
I guess clifford
and daffodil
Are really busy today.
Oh! But I bet jorge
will want to play!
Grrr! Grrr!
Aaah!
Hola, norville.
Hey, there!
Hiya, jorge!
It's snowing!
Hey, so what do you say
That we make
a gigantic snowman
Out in the courtyard?
Come on!
I'll meet you down
by the slide.
[Growling]
Oh, I'm sorry,
norville.
I'd love to make
a snowman with you
But I can't today.
Oh, uh, come on,
why not?
At my home
we always celebrate
the first snowfall
By making snow decorations.
It's kind of
our family...
Tradition, right?
Right! It's
our winter tradition.
Doesn't the apartment
look nice?
Oh, yeah, well,
i-it looks nice,
But if you want to see
some really nice
decorations,
You should come by
my nest later.
Oh, really? You make
snow decorations, too?
Who doesn't?
I make so many
decorations every year,
I don't even know
where to hang 'em all.
Wow! I would love
to come see that.
Maybe tomorrow?
Tomorrow? Oh, yeah,
well, maybe, yeah,
yeah, sure.
I have to go check
my calendar.
Oh, ok. Well, I guess
I'll see you later, norville.
Bye-bye there, jorge.
Oh, well.
Oh, hey! Flo & zo!
They're always ready
for snow time anytime!

You wait right here.

And then
I'll play us
another song.

Zo: hey, norville.
Hey, zo & flo,
My cuddly kitten
companions.
How about
happy snow day?
How about happy snow day
to you, too, norville.
What's going on?
How would you two
like to help me
Build the biggest
snowman ever?
That sounds great!
Really?
Sure!
We'll meet you right
outside first thing
tomorrow.
T-tomorrow?
Oh, yeah, but I was--
I was talking about today.
Well, we can't
do it today.
It's the first snowfall.
Oh, let me guess--
you have first snowfall
traditions, too.
We sure do!
Of course you do.
Every year mr. Solomon
sings songs.
And we dance!
Oh, well, don't worry,
you know.
I mean, I'm not even sure
that I had time anyway.
I mean, you should see
all the special things
I do for the first snowfall.
Really? Like what?
I bake cookies,
And then I make
decorations,
And I sing songs,
and I dance.
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah.
My feet go crazy.
And then i...
[Stammers]
You name it, I do it.
Wow! That sounds
like fun!
Mmm! I smell milk.
Ooh! We've gotta go!
Have a great first
snowfall, norville!
Same to you.
Bye-bye.
[Sighs] ok.
So maybe
I don't really have
Any first snowfall
traditions.
But hey, what
better time than now
To start
a new tradition?
Ok, traditions...
Traditions...
[Shivers]
I got it!
My first snowfall
tradition will be...
To make my own
giant snowman!
[Humming]
Ok, so,
There's the body of
my giant snowman,
And now
for the head.
Ohh...boy!
Oooh, boy,
oh, boy.
Ok!
So, well, then,
it could just stay
Where it is for now.
[Deep breath] whew!
A stick nose...
Some buttons.
There. It's a snowman
Taking a nap.
Oh, what's the use
of having a tradition
If you have no one
to share it with?
This is no fun.
I gotta think
of something.
This is no fun at all.
[Gulp]
[Chewing] huh?
Hey!
Hey, daffodil,
Did you see norville
at the window?
Huh. I wonder why
he didn't wave to us,
Or say hello.
Hmm. It's not like
norville
Not to say
something.
Wow. Norville said
He had lots of
things to do today,
But it doesn't look
like he has
Any first
snowfall traditions
after all.
I know.
Well, why isn't he doing
anything special?
I guess it's because
when norville does
special things,
He usually does 'em
with us.
Oh. You're right,
daffodil.
And we've all been
inside all day.
Oh, wait a minute!
I've got a big idea!
If norville can't be
a part of our first
snowfall tradition,
Then we'll bring
the tradition to him.
That's the spirit,
clifford!
Ha ha! Come on!
Ruff! Ruff ruff!

Hey, what are you all
doing out here?
Well, we decided
to move
Our first snowfall
celebrations outside.
Uh-huh. That way
we can all be
together.
Is that ok with you,
norville?
Ok? Oh, it's not just ok,
It's fantastic!
You know, well...
To tell you the truth,
everybody,
I was getting
pretty lonely out here
all by myself.
Then why didn't you
tell us the truth
From the very beginning?
You could've just said
you don't have a first
snowfall tradition.
Well, I guess
I just didn't want
To ruin
everybody else's fun.
But, norville,
We're not gonna
have any fun
If we know
you're not having
any fun.
Hey, thanks, little red.
I should've told you all
the truth this morning.
And we should have
realized
You were all alone
sooner.
So now we're starting
a brand-new tradition.
A new tradition?
Yeah. From now on,
Every first snowfall
we're coming outside
To celebrate
with you.
And we brought
some of our
traditions
To share with you, too.
Oh, wow.
Could I just say
thank you very much, guys?
Come on, everyone,
let's sing.

Ruff!
Emily elizabeth:
clifford!
Where are you, boy?
Ruff ruff!
Want to read
a story, clifford?
Ruff!
Ok. Pick one out.
[Chuckles]
thanks, clifford.
This looks like
a great story.
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 seashell
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 pine cone
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.
Ruff!
[Panting]
Yay! I win!
[Panting]
Boy, you sure
are fast, flo.
I had a head start,
and you still won the race.
Well, I've always been
quick on my feet.
You want to race
again?
[Heavy breathing]
Oh, nah.
Not right now.
I have to catch
my breath.
[Panting]
Hey, clifford,
can you do a spin?
Um, I think so.
Like this?
Oh, whoops!
Hee hee!
That's pretty good,
But how about
a double spin?
Ta-da!
Oh, wow!
You're a great
spinner, flo.
It just takes
a little practice.
Hey! Look over there!
This is my
favorite toy ever!
I just learned
this new trick
I can do with it.
Oh, really?
What is it, flo?
[Sniff sniff sniff]
You throw it up
in the air
And then you catch it!
That sounds
pretty easy to me.
[Chuckles] it's harder
than it sounds. Watch.
Now watch me catch it.
Meow!
Got it!
Wow, flo!
You're really
a super athlete.
Do you want to try
and catch it,
clifford?
Ok.
Ready...
Set...
Go!
I got it! I got it!
I got it! I got it!
I--uh, think?
Ohh!
Whoa! Uh...uh-oh.
Hey!
[Laughs]
You're supposed to catch
the flying disc, clifford.
It's not supposed
to catch you.
[Chuckles]
I guess I'm not very
good at this game.
But that's ok.
It's fun anyway.
Jorge: hoo hoo!
Hey, you guys, look!
Nina gave me
a new toy today.
It's a beanbag.
Wow, a beanbag.
That's great.
[Sniffs]
What do you do
with it?
What do you do with it?
Well, you play
beanbag, of course.
Like this, see?
[Grunts]
Like that.
Boy, you're really good
at beanbag, jorge.
My turn, my turn!
Whoa! Hah! Ho!
Yes!
You're really good
at beanbag, too, zo.
Now you try it,
clifford.
Ok.
But I'm probably
not that good.
You'll be fine,
clifford.
Give it a try.
Well, ok.
Like this?
All right, clifford!
That was great,
clifford.
It never once hit
the ground.
You're a champion
beanbagger.
Nah, I don't know.
Flo will probably be
better than any of us.
She's great
at every game.
Right!
It's flo's turn.
Well, sure, I'll
give it a toss.
Hmm.
Oh, I know what
I did wrong.
Whoa--whoa!
Unh!
Aha! Oops!
Aw, man, that
beanbag is broken.
Broken?
Definitely.
It's impossible
to work with.
Clifford,
you must've broken it.
Gee, I'm sorry.
Maybe I can fix it.
Looks like it's
working now.
Well, i--i think
we should play
something else anyway.
How about freeze tag
or hide-and-seek?
[Laughter]
Zo: hey, clifford,
kick it to me!
Jorge:
awesome save, buddy.
Over here, zo!
Hey, where's flo?
Guys, I'll be right back.
Hey, flo...
Aren't you gonna play
beanbag with us?
I don't think so.
But it's really fun.
I could teach you
how to play.
It's not that I can't
play, clifford,
It's that I really
don't want to play.
I think it's
a really boring game.
[Gasps] you do?
Sure. I'd rather
play by myself
Than play with
a silly old beanbag.
And you know what?
That's exactly
what I'm going to do.
Oh...well...
Ok.
Have fun!
Jorge: hey,
that's great!
Zo: pass it
to me, me! Me!
Ok. What should I play?
Hmm.
I know! I'll play
freeze tag.
I'm it!
Wait a minute--
I can't freeze myself.
I know! I'll play
hide-and-seek.
I'm the best hider ever.
[Sighs]
this won't work.
It's no good hiding
unless someone's
seeking.
That's it!
I'll play with
the flying disc.
That's another game
I'm terrific at
And I can play it
by myself.
This isn't any fun.
[Others laughing]
Over here!
I got it!
I know!
I'll go over to
the playground.
I'll bet there are
plenty of things here
I can do by myself.
Like the seesaw.
Ok, maybe not
the seesaw.
I know!
Whee!
Whee!
It's no fun
if there's no one
to push you.
Clifford:
look out!
Jorge: I got it!
Nice kick.
[Laughter]
I'll just have to find
somebody else
To play with me.
Hi, bebe.
You wanna play
with me?
Well, I was going
to join in
the beanbag game.
Aww, that's no fun.
Come on! We could play
freeze tag
Or hide-and-seek,
or...
We could throw
this flying disc
and catch it.
Hmm...
Well...
[Laughter]
Thanks, flo, but
that beanbag game
Really looks
like fun.
Why don't you
play, too?
I bet you'll be
really great at it.
Oh, but I'm not
great at it.
I'm not even good.
[Sighs] but I sure
am tired of playing
by myself.
[Laughter]
[Panting]
Um, nice kick,
clifford.
Thanks, flo.
Um...
Is it still all right
If I play with you guys?
You want to play
beanbag?
I thought
you said it was
a boring game.
The truth is,
I don't really think
beanbag is boring.
You don't?
No. I'm just not
very good at it.
I'm usually great
at the games we play,
But when it comes
to beanbags
I'm a total klutz,
And I was embarrassed.
That's why I didn't
want to play.
See?
But you don't have
to be good, flo.
The fun part
is playing together.
So, come on!
Let's play!
Ah--ooh, ohh!
[Laughs]
It isfun playing,
clifford,
Even if I'm not
that good.
But I wish I could be
just a little better.
Maybe you could
give me a lesson?
Oh, sure, flo.
The main thing
to remember is...
Just keep your eye
on the beanbag.
See?
Now you try it.
Hey! Hey,
I've got it!
I've got it!
Whoa--oh--oh!
Ohh!
I dropped it!
Wow, clifford!
Great save,
great save, clifford!
Thanks!
Ha! No problem, flo.
Just think of me as
your best beanbag buddy.
[Laughs]
I will, clifford,
I will.
[All shouting at once]
Ruff!
[Laughter]
Ha ha! Can't get me!
Zo: oww!
Oh, zo, are you ok?
What happened?
I just stubbed my toe,
that's all.
It's not really hurt
or anything.
It's just a little bit sore.
But I don't really feel
like running anymore.
You guys go ahead
and play without me.
Emily elizabeth:
sometimes the best way
you can help a friend
Is to be kind,
And that means
being considerate
of their feelings.
Wait a minute!
I got a big idea!
Instead of
playing tag,
What do you say
we tell stories?
That way everyone
can join in,
Even zo.
What a great idea!
Thanks, clifford.
I'm really happy
you found a way
to include me.
Emily elizabeth:
when you take the time
to be kind,
You can help a friend
feel better.
That's why clifford's
idea to grow on
for today is "be kind."
Ok, I got one--
once upon a time...
Oh, I love it
when they start
like that.
[Laughter]
