...on a crisp, cold
December morning,
Four-year-old caillou was
Asleep snug as a bug,
With gilbert his cat.
Caillou's daddy was already
Outside shoveling snow
While caillou's little
Sister rosie and his mommy
Were in the kitchen
Preparing breakfast...
...time to get up caillou!
- Yawn!
Here you go rexy, you
Can stay nice and warm.
Gilbert,
What are you doing?
Wow!
Daaaady!
Look at all the snow!
Come on, gilbert!
Caillou was excited
To see so much snow.
He couldn't wait to
Go outside and play.
Gilbert? (Giggles)
Silly cat!
Get out of there!
(Giggles)
Daddy, I'm almost ready to go
Outside and shovel with you.
- But you haven't had your
Breakfast yet, caillou.
We'll go out
Together later, ok?
Caillou was upset because he
Wanted to go outside right away.
- Ok, daddy.
- Caillou!
- Rosie, eat your
Cereal sweetheart.
Good morning, caillou.
- Huh! 'Morning.
- Hmm? Did someone wake up
On the wrong side of
The bed this morning?
- Caillou wanted to come
Outside and help me shovel,
But I told him he had
To eat breakfast first.
(Purrrr!)
- Well, someone's hungry,
Why don't you feed gilbert?
- Ok, gilbert.
I'll get your food.
- (Giggles)
Gilbert hungry!
- Gilbert no!
Get down.
- Come on rosie, ah!
Let's get you dressed.
- Here you go partner.
You'll need your energy to
Help me shovel all that snow!
- Caillou was
Hungry after all
And he was looking forward
To helping daddy outside.
- Brrrmmmm!
Look rosie, I'm a snowplow!
Hey!
I'm gonna get you!
- (Giggles)
- Clementine!
- Hi caillou!
Caillou was happy to see
His friend clementine.
He had no idea
She was coming over
And caillou
Loved surprises!
- Hi rosie!
- Hi!
- Oh how lovely! Come on in.
- Wheeeeee!
- Tag! You're it!
- I'm gonna get
You clementine!
= Ha ha ha ha!
- Hi caillou,
Hi clementine.
Here, it's an invitation to
My school's christmas play.
- Wow! A christmas play.
Yes!
- I'll be there too. My
Brother billy is in the play.
- That means santa
Is coming soon!
Caillou knew that
Christmas was coming soon,
But he didn't quite
Know exactly when.
- Is santa coming
Tonight, sarah?
- Not that soon
Caillou, in two weeks.
- Two weeks?
What will I do until then?

Sarah and
Clementine had left
And caillou was happy to
Come in from the cold.
- Did you have
Fun sweetheart?
- Uh huh!
- Don't forget to put
Your stuff away please.
- Ok, brrrm...
I'm a snow plow.
What are you
Doing mommy?
- I'm writing christmas cards
To our friends and family
To wish them a merry christmas.
- Sarah says that
Christmas is in two weeks,
Is that a long time away?
- We'll let's see...
Christmas is exactly
12 Days away.
Which doesn't leave us much
Time to get everything done!
- Like what?
- Well, first, send
Off these cards,
Then we have to get a
Tree, decorate the house
And of course there's
The santa claus parade.
- Santa's in a parade!? When?
- Hmm... In a few days, I guess.
Caillou was very excited at
The thought of seeing santa.
But he was a little
Confused about
How many days were
Left until christmas!
- Can I draw something
On your cards mommy?
- How would you like to make
Your own christmas cards?
- Yes!
- Oooh!
Gilbert?
A-hee-hee! Silly cat.
- I'm gonna make a card
For mommy and daddy
And rosie and gilbert.
Oh! And sarah and
Leo and clementine.
- Hi caillou.
- Stop it rosie.
You're stepping on
My christmas cards.
Rosie stop!
- What's wrong caillou?
- Rosie is stepping
On all the cards
That I'm giving
My friends!
- Rosie give too!
- Come on rosie,
Let caillou work
And we'll think of something
Else for you to give, ok?
- Oh! I almost forgot!
Grandma and grandpa.
Caillou worked all afternoon
On his christmas cards...
- Here you go rosie.
Do you want mommy to help you
Make a present for caillou?
We could draw a
Picture together.
But rosie didn't want mommy
To help her. She wanted to be
Like her big brother and do
Something all by herself.
- Daddy!
Look at all the
Christmas cards I made.
Can we give them tomorrow?
- We usually mail
Christmas cards, caillou.
- But they need them
Before christmas.
- Don't worry, everyone will
Get their cards on time.
Here, this christmas
Calendar will help you
Keep track of how many days
Are left until santa comes.
See these windows?
There are 12 of them, one for
Each day left until christmas.
- I can count to 12!
1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7, 8,
9, 10, 11, 12.
- Good for you! Now, every
Night starting tonight
We'll open one window and
Discover a story behind it.
- I like stories.
- You'll like these
Stories a lot.
Each window shows us how
Christmas is celebrated
Differently all over the world.
- With a tree and
Presents and santa?
- Well that depends,
Some children celebrate
Christmas in different ways.
- Can I open a window?
- Sure. This one.
- It's stuck.
Caillou didn't want
To tear the calendar
So he opened it
Very carefully.
He was anxious to see what
Was behind the little door.
- A christmas tree!
- This is how christmas was
Celebrated a long time ago
In a country called germany.
Would you like to
Hear more about it?
- Yes!
- In a country far, far away,
There lived a young
Boy, about your age,
Who loved going to
Work with his father.
His name was fritz and his
Father was a lumberjack
Who cut down trees
For a living.
Fritz liked to watch
The men do their work
And he knew that some
Day he would grow up
To be a lumberjack
Just like his father.
Fritz and his dad headed into
The village to sell their trees.
(Neigh!)
Fritz noticed that
The men didn't use
The tiny little tree at
The bottom of the sled.
But fritz suddenly had
An idea how that
Little tree could be used.
He thought the tree
Would look nice in his
House, at christmas time.
And fritz loved the smell of
Trees better than anything else.
Fritz's mother
Thought the tree
Could use a little decoration
And since that time, people in
Many parts of the world
Have brought an evergreen tree
Into their homes
At christmas time.
- I like the christmas
Calendar daddy.
- Tomorrow night we'll
Open another window.
And now it's time for
You to go to sleep.
Good night, caillou.
(Kiss).
- Good night, daddy.
And caillou fell asleep
Dreaming about germany
And fritz and christmas trees.
Caillou woke up in a big
Hurry the next morning.
- Ergh!
Can we get a
Christmas tree today?
- Uh, good morning, caillou.
- Um, good morning.
So, can we get a tree?
- I think that's
A great idea.
- Me too.
I'll call a friend of mine
And see if we can come by.
- What friend, daddy?
Go where? When?
- Haha! You'll see.
It's a surprise.
Caillou loved
Surprises,
But he really wanted to
Know who daddy was calling
And where they were going to
Get their christmas tree.
- Who is daddy calling?
- Can't tell,
It's a surprise.
- All set.
Let's finish breakfast,
Get dressed and get going!
- Yayyy!
- Rosie is sure sleeping
In late this morning.
(Meow)
- Gilbert?
Gilbert hiding?
♪ Gilbert where are you?
Ha ha ha! Silly cat.
Caillou and his family left to
Go and get a christmas tree.
But caillou still didn't
Know where they were going.
But caillou still didn't
Know where they were going.
- Where are we
Going, daddy?
- Yeah, where, daddy?
- You'll find out soon.
But all caillou could see
Were trees on either
Side of the road.
- I know! We're going to
Germany right, daddy?
= Ha ha ha!
- No caillou!
- Rosie look!
It's jonah's farm!
- Jonah! Horsie!
But caillou was suddenly
Disappointed. He liked jonah,
But he thought they were going
To get a christmas tree today.
- But what about
The tree daddy?
- That's why we're here.
Jonah has a christmas tree farm!
- Ohhhh!
- Welcome back, caillouuuuu!
- Wheeeee!
- Me too!
Wheee!
- The place looks beautiful
In the wintertime, jonah.
- Thanks, it's our
Busiest time of year,
What with the christmas
Tree farm and all.
- What's a tree farm, jonah?
- You know that at christmas
Time a lot of people
Like a tree to put in
Their house to decorate.
So I grow trees just
For that purpose.
- Kind of like a tree garden?
- Exactly.
(Neigh!)
I think someone over there
Would love to take you all
For a sleigh ride
To the tree farm.
- Ginger! Blackie!
- Here you go caillou, do you
Remember how to feed them?
Gentle... Good boy blackie.
I think he remembers
You, caillou.
- Can we go to the
Tree farm now jonah?
- Absolutely, but first,
We need a blanket
To keep us warm on
The sleigh ride.
Could you do me a favor and
Get the big red blanket
From inside the
Barn, caillou?
- Yes!
(Neigh!!!)
Caillou was startled
By the noise.
- Hello horsie,
You're my size.
I have to go now, we're
Going on a sleigh ride.
Bye horsie.
Here, jonah.
There's a little
Horse in the barn.
- Yes there is,
That's our new colt.
- Colt?
- Yes. That's what we
Call a baby horse.
Maybe you can come
Back in the spring
To see how much
She's grown.
- Oh boy! Sure!
- Is everybody ready?
= Yes!
- Yaa!
- Then here we go! Yaha!
And they all headed off
To find a christmas tree.
- Look at all the
Christmas trees rosie!
- Whoa! Blacky!
Whoa! Ginger!
Did you enjoy the ride?
= Yeah!
- Christmas trees everywhere!
Hee hee hee!
- Choose any tree you like.
- Ok.
Come on, rosie.
There were so many trees.
Caillou didn't know how they
Were going to pick one.
- Rosie!
Are you hiding?
I know where you're hiding.
Behind that tree!
I see you!
- You hide caillou.
- Ok.
Caillou and rosie thought
The christmas tree forest
Was a great place to
Play hide and seek.
- Caillou-uuu!
Caillou?
Caillou didn't want
Rosie to find him.
So he stayed very quiet.
But suddenly
Caillou felt alone.
And he didn't want
To play anymore.
Caillou didn't like
Being all by himself.
- Rosie?... Mommy?... Daddy?
- There you are caillou.
Did you find a tree you like?
- These trees are big
And scary.
- Well why don't we go
Over to another row
Where there are smaller
Trees, more your size.

- I really like
This tree, mommy.
- Really?
But, it's so small and
It has a big bend in it.
Why did you pick this one?
- Because it's just like
The tree in daddy's story.
- You're right.
What do you think, rosie?
- Christmas treeee!
- Well, that settles it.
Caillou was proud to have
Picked the christmas tree
And wanted to be sure
It was in the best spot
In the living room.
- Can we put the tree in the
Middle of the room daddy?
- It would be a better idea if
We put it in a corner, caillou.
- Ok.
Over there!
No wait!
That corner would be better.
No umm, maybe over there!
- Whup!
- Perfect!
- Whoooa!
- Gilbert!
Caillou was very happy
With how his tree looked,
And he knew exactly
What it needed
To become a real christmas tree.
That evening, caillou
Had a brilliant idea.
He wanted to make a special star
To put on top of his very
Own special tree.
Meanwhile... Rosie had a
Few ideas of her own.
Rosie made a present for
Gilbert. All by herself!
- That's wonderful rosie!
Oh, you're such a big girl now.
- (Giggles)
(Giggles) daddy funny.
- Yes daddy's funny.
What are you doing with
The wrapping paper?
- Rosie big girl now!
- Gilbert cut that out.
Shooo! Go away.
- Oooofff!
Giiiiilbert!
- Ha ha ha ha!
- Are you alright?
- Ha! Ha! Daddy's very funny.
Now could you please
Help me up!
- Could we help you
Decorate the tree daddy?
- I think that's a
Great idea caillou.
- What's that rosie?
- Pwesent.
- There you go,
Why don't you two
Help me finish
Decorating the tree?
- Mine!
- Mommy gave
This one to me!
Caillou saw how
Upset rosie was,
So he decided to let
Her have the ornament.
So he decided to let
Her have the ornament.
- Here rosie,
You can have it.
- That was very
Nice of you, caillou.
Christmas is a time of
Giving and of sharing
And you did a very good
Job of sharing with rosie.
- Can I put my star up now?
- That's a great idea, let's
See that star of yours caillou.
= Ha ha ha ha!
- What's so funny?
- Daddy funny!
- And now the lights!
- Wait!
I want the room dark.
Ready?...
= Aaah!
- Oooh!
- The tree doesn't
Look little anymore.
- It looks great!
- It's the best
Tree we've ever had!
Caillou and his family all
Loved their christmas tree.
Now it felt like
Christmas in their home.
When caillou got to
Bed, he was very tired.
- Did you have fun today?
- Yes!
And now I can't wait till santa
Puts all my presents
Under the tree.
- Christmas is about more than
Getting presents from santa.
- Really? Like what?
- Christmas is a
Time for giving,
Especially to those who aren't
As fortunate as we are.
- What does "fortunate"
Mean, mommy?
- We're very fortunate because
We have a beautiful home
And we always have
Plenty to eat
And you're very fortunate
To have all these toys.
- But I don't play
With all of them.
- I have an idea.
Why don't you gather up the
Toys that you don't play with
And tomorrow we'll make
Sure they go to children
Who will enjoy them as
Much as you once did.
Now it's time to open another
Christmas calendar window.
- Yayyy!
- Let's see,
There's eleven windows,
So if you open one
How many windows are left?
- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
6, 7, 8, 9, 10!
- Right!
Tomorrow there will be ten
More days until christmas.
Let's see what we have.
- What is it, mommy?
- This is how children, in
A country called mexico,
Celebrate christmas.
Would you like to
Hear what they do?
- Yes, yes!
- Several days
Before christmas,
Mexican children have a parade.
They dress up as
Shepherds, and as angels
And a young girl dressed
As mary rides a donkey.
A little boy dressed as
Joseph leads the way.
Following them are
Three children
Dressed up as the wise kings.
They dress up to tell
The story of christmas.
Did you know that in
Mexico they speak spanish?
- Spanish?
- It's a beautiful language.
Do you want to know how to say
Merry christmas in spanish?
- Yes!
- Feliz navidad.
- Fe-liz navi-dad!
Caillou liked learning
New words and he liked
How merry christmas
Sounded in spanish.
Feliz navidad!
- I wish I could be
In a parade too.
- Good night, caillou.
Sleep tight.
- And don't let
The bed bugs bite.
When caillou woke up,
He remembered the idea
Of giving away some toys he
Didn't play with anymore.
- C'mon, rexy.
We have some work to do.
See rexy? I don't play
With these toys anymore
The way I play with you.
- What caillou doing?
- I'm giving these toys away.
- Rexy?
- Ha ha ha! No, silly!
Not rexy!
These toys that I don't
Play with anymore.
I'm giving them to kids
Who don't have as many
Toys as me and you.
- No duckie.
- No rosie.
These are for kids who
Aren't as fortu-nous as us.
- But rosie like duckie.
- Ok, you can keep duckie.
Look mommy.
These are the toys I
Picked to give away.
- Good for you, caillou.
They're going to
Make lovely presents.
How about some breakfast.
You must be hungry after
All that hard work.
Rosie didn't quite understand
About giving and sharing.
But she wanted to
Make caillou happy,
So she decided to wrap
Up rexy and give him
To caillou as a surprise
Christmas present.
- See rosie?
I'm packing all the
Things I'm giving away.
Oh! I forgot something!
- (Giggles)
Rosie wanted to give
Away some things too.
- Give away!
Give away!
But she didn't quite
Understand what to give away.
Mommy and caillou were
Going to the place
Where caillou's toys
Would be given away.
But caillou didn't know
Exactly where it was.
- Where are we going, mommy?
- Here's a clue.
What's big and red and...
- Santa claus!
- Yes, but what's big and
Red and has a loud siren.
- I know! A fire truck!
- Exactly.
And where do we
Find fire trucks?
- In a fire station!
- You got it!
At christmas time some firemen
Collect toys and give them away
To children as presents.
- Like santa!
Caillou really liked the
Great big fire trucks.
The firemen had used them to
Rescue gilbert from a tree.
- Here, let me help you.
- Thank you.
- Hi caillou.
It's nice to see you again.
- Hi.
- Are these toys that
You're giving away?
- Uh huh.
- Well, that's very
Generous of you, caillou.
- Sparky!
Sparky was very happy to
See caillou again too!
- Ha! Ha!
- I taught sparky a
New trick, caillou.
Wanna see?
Give the paw sparky.
Good boy!
- Do you wanna try?
- Ok.
Sparky give the paw.
Good boy, sparky!
- Let's go take a look at what's
In this big box of yours.
Stacie, we have
Some more items.
- Hi caillou!
- What are you doing?
- I'm fixing up some toys to
Make them good as new again.
- Wow!
- Now let's see what
You've brought.
- Huh?
How did that get in there?
- Ha ha ha!
This is a strange toy.
And there's more...
- I know!
Rosie put them there.
- Ha!
Rosie probably saw you
Giving things away
And wanted to add a
Few things of her own.
- Now this is better.
- Let me see.
Hmm, I have just
The thing to fix it.
Do you wanna help me, caillou?
- Wow! Look at all the wheels!
- Let's see... I think this
One will be a perfect fit.
Can you hold the truck for me?
There!
Is it alright?
- It's just like new.
- Great!
Why don't you bring it
Over so I can wrap it.
- Is something wrong?
Now that caillou's
Truck was working again,
He wasn't sure he still
Wanted to give it away.
- Caillou, you're going to
Make a little boy very happy
When he gets to play
With your truck.
Caillou thought about it and
Decided that it would make
Him happy to give his truck to
Someone else for christmas.
- Here. Can I help you wrap it?
- You sure can.
- This truck is going
To make someone
Very happy this christmas.
And it's all thanks
To you, caillou.
That night, caillou was in
A big hurry to get to bed.
- Rexy, rexy!
Daddy's going to tell us
Another christmas story.
Rexy?
Oh it's you, teddy.
I was looking for rexy.
- Ready for another
Calendar story?
- Yes!
- Let's see how many
Windows are left.
- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
6, 7, 8, 9, 10!
- Right!
So, we open one tonight and
Tomorrow there will be
Nine days left 'til christmas.
- It looks like
A classroom.
- You're right!
This takes place a long time
Ago in a country called england.
The children are at school
And they're writing
Letters to their families.
The parents thought
The letters were
So beautifully decorated,
They decided to send
Holiday greetings to their
Friends and families too.
Soon, people all around
The world were sending
Beautifully decorated
Holiday cards to each other.
- That's when christmas
Cards started.
- That's right.
And now, bedtime.
Sweet dreams, caillou.
(Kiss)
- Good night, daddy.
When caillou woke
Up, he remembered
His christmas cards and wanted
To mail them right away.
- Hi mommy. Hi rosie.
Can we mail my
Christmas cards today?
- Hi caillou.
- Sure, can I see them?
- Clementine and sarah
And jason and jeffrey.
- Hmm...
I think you forgot someone!
- Who?
- How about a
Letter for santa?
- Santa!
- Yay! Santa!
Caillou decided to draw a
Picture of all the toys
He wanted santa to
Bring him this year.
- Rosie too.
Oooh!
- What's that, rosie?
- Horsie.
- What's that?
- A space station.
- Is that what you want
Santa to bring you?
- Yes!
And a new truck and new
Skates and a baseball
And a soccer ball and
A football and a...
- Whoa, don't you think
That's an awful lot?
♪ All that caillou
Just to please you
♪ Don't you think
It is too much ?
♪ No, no mommy there
Are more toys,
♪ Santa should bring
Me in a rush.
♪ Santa bring me always me me
Are you just my me me boy?
♪ But I want a fire engine I
Like getting lots of toys.
♪ You like getting
Lots of toys.
♪ What about giving ?
What about caring ?
♪ What about sharing ?
Christmas is for everyone.

♪ Ok, mommy I will try to
Share more of my gifts and toys.
♪ You will see, it's lots of fun
♪ To share some our
Christmas joys.
♪ Now I'm not a
Me, me boy.
- Ok, what I really want
Is a space station.
Can we mail it to santa now?
- Yes, but I have to get some
Stamps at the post office first.
Wanna come?
- Sure.
So caillou and mommy got
More stamps for their
Christmas cards at
The post office.
- Ok, caillou. Drop them in.
- Good morning!
How are you today?
- Caillou and I were just
Mailing our christmas cards.
- Do you take the letters
To the north pole?
- Not exactly.
I pick up the mail in
The boxes on my route,
Then I bring them back
To the post office.
- Then how does it
Get to the north pole?
- Well, why don't you come
Inside and I can show you
How the mail gets sorted
At the post office.
- Can we mommy? Please!
- Of course, let's go.
- All the mail
Gets sorted here
And put into different piles.
Mail that is going far
Away is sent from here
To other post offices
All over the world.
- Do you use a
Sleigh and reindeer?
- Ha ha! We're not as
Well-equipped as santa,
But we have planes
And trains and trucks.
- What's that big
Pile over there?
- Ah. That's a very
Special pile.
Those are all the letters
Addressed to santa claus.
- Is my letter to
Santa in that pile?
- It will be very soon
And we'll take extra care
To make sure santa gets it.
- Thank you.
What's that?
- That's a conveyor.
It helps us sort out all the
Mail into different piles.
- This is just like
Santa's workshop.
- Maybe we should let our
Mailman get back work.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- Merry christmas,
Mr. Mailman!
- Mom told me you got a tour
Of the post office today.
- Yes and there
Was a big bin with
A whole bunch of
Letters to santa.
- Santa and his elves
Must be very busy these days,
And you've been busy
Too, so come on, bedtime.
- Where - is - rexy?
- He must be
Around somewhere.
- I'm sure you'll
Find him soon.
Do you think teddy would like
To hear tonight's
Calendar story?
- Ok.
- So are you two ready
To open another window?
- Yes!
- How many days left
'Till christmas?
- Let's count the
Closed windows.
= 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
6, 7, 8, 9!
- We open another window
Tonight and tomorrow
There will be eight more
Days till christmas.
Ok, go ahead and
Open this one.
- Who's that daddy?
- That's saint nicolas.
Once, a long time ago,
In a country called turkey,
There lived a good
Man, called nicholas.
Nicholas felt sorry for
A farmer and his family
Because they didn't have
Enough money for food.
He was a very thoughtful
And generous man,
So he decided to give the
Young family a basket of food.
The family never
Knew who had given them
The wonderful present.
And from that day on, nicholas
Decided to leave a present
For the family every year.
Saint nick taught us the
Importance of being kind
And thoughtful to others.
- I know how to be kind
And thoughtful, daddy.
- You sure do.
You were very thoughtful when
You gave your toys away.
(Kiss)
Good night caillou.
Honey, have you seen
My electric toothbrush?
- No.
Have you seen my slippers?

When caillou woke up
The next morning,
He remembered that
Rexy was still missing
And started searching for him.
Caillou looked everywhere
He could think of...
...but rexy was
Nowhere to be found.
- Caillou!
What are you doing?
- I can't find rexy
Anywhere, mommy!
- I'm sure he'll show up soon.
But we have to get ready to go
To the santa claus parade now,
And you, young man, have to
Clean up the mess you've made.

- Hello, how are you?
- Leo! Caillou's here!
- Hi caillou. Come on up.
- Watcha doing?
- I'm making my parents
A card for hanukah.
Do you want to make
Something for your parents?
- Ok.
Can I use this too?
- Sure.
Caillou thought he would make
Something for rosie as well.
So leo and caillou got to work
On making cards and gifts.
- Who's the snowman for?
- Rosie.
You have paint
On your nose.
- So do you!
= Ha a ha ha!
- Leo! Caillou!
- Just a second!
Quick, I have to
Hide my mom's card.
- What are you two up to?
- Nothing, mom.
- Yeah, nothing.
- I see.
Well since your doing nothing,
Why don't you two wash up
And go outside to play.
= Ha ha ha ha!
- Do you want to play hockey? I
Have an extra pair of skates.
- Yes!
- Woah!
Pass it over leo!
- Here it comes.
- Whoah, ooof!
- You ok?
- Uh huh.
- Huh, oof!
- Whoa, oof!
- Whoa, oof!
= Ha ha ha ha!
- Caillou! Leo! How about
Some hot chocolate!
= Yeah!
- Mmm... I love hot chocolate.
What's that?
- It's a menorah.
- During hanukah, we light
One candle every night.
It's called the festival of
Lights and it lasts 8 days.
- And we play dreidl.
- What's a "dreidl"?
- I'll show you.
It's like a top.
You spin the dreidle and you
See on which sign it lands.
I'll go first.
- Shin.
That means you have
To put a raisin in.
- Aww.
- Your turn, caillou.
- Give it a big spin.
- Gimel!
Good for you caillou.
You won all the
Raisins in the pot.
When caillou went home,
He made sure to hide the
Cards and the snowman.
- Caillou!
- Shh, I have to
Hide my presents.
- Rosie have pwesents too!
- Shh!
Christmas presents should
Be a surprise, rosie.
So don't tell anyone, ok?
- Hey you two.
- Pwesents!
- Shhh.
Later that night,
Caillou was very curious
About rosie's presents.
- Rosie? Are you awake?
- Caillou!
- Shhh!
Caillou didn't want
Mommy or daddy to hear.
- Gilbert!
What did you get me
For christmas rosie?
- Uh-uh. Pwesents supwise.
Caillou said so.
- I know...
But if you tell me yours,
I'll tell you mine.
- Ahem! Christmas presents
Are a surprise,
Right caillou?
- Right, daddy.
- Ha ha! C'mon then. Bedtime.
- Caillou tuck me in!
- Ok.
- Ha ha ha ha!
- Time to sleep, princess.
(Kiss)
- Night, daddy. Night, caillou.
- Mommy, would you sing
Me your santa song again,
Pleeeease!
- Ok, sweetheart. C'mon.
= 1, 2, 3, 4!

- Look grandma!
I made a snowman.
This is fun!
I'll add some raisins.
- Good idea!
Wow! They're perfect!
I think this batch is
Ready for the oven.
Hello everyone,
Merry christmas!
Everyone was very
Happy to see grandma
And caillou again.
- Cookie? I baked them myself!
- Mmm. Delicious.
Thank you, caillou.
- You're welcome.
Caillou was very
Proud of his cookies,
And he was happy that
Everyone liked them.
- Thank you, young man,
Don't mind if I do.
And what are you asking
Santa for this year?
- A space station!
- Ah! Excellent choice...
And excellent cookies!
- These are
Wonderful caillou.
- Now that you're here
Sharing your cookies with me,
My christmas just got
A whole lot better.
Spending the afternoon
With grandma's friends,
Was like having a whole
Bunch of grandma's
And grandpa's to play with.
Grandma and caillou decided
To play a game of "go fish"
While waiting for mommy,
Daddy and rosie to come home.
- Hmmm. Do you have a tree?
- Go fish!
- A tree! I get another turn!
Do you have a dog?
Yay!
(Phone beep)
- I'll get it!
- Woof woof woof!
(Startled meow!)
Ha ha ha ha!
Come back gilbert,
It's not a real dog!
- That was sarah's mom.
Did sarah give you an
Invitation to her school play?
- Ooops! I forgot.
Here it is!
- It's tomorrow
At three o'clock.
- So did you have fun
With grandma today?
- Uh huh, I even
Won at go fish!
- Good for you!
Let see how many
Windows are left?
- 1, 2, 3!
A christmas stocking!
Just like mine!
And santa's going to fill
It with candy, right, daddy?
- Haha! I'm sure he will.
But do you know how that
Tradition started?
Boys and girls all over
The world used to leave
Something for santa
In their shoes.
In france, children place
Their shoes by the fireplace.
And in holland, where
Santa claus is called
"Sinterklass", children leave
Hay and a carrot in their shoes
For sinterklass' horse to eat.
In hungary, children
Shine their shoes
Before putting them
Near a window sill.
In italy, there is a woman
Called 'la befana' who arrives
At christmas time,
Like santa claus.
And children leave
Food for her
In their shoes outside
Their front door.
And in puerto rico,
Children put vegetables
Under their beds for the camels
Of the three kings.
- I'm going to leave
Something for santa too daddy,
But I won't put it
In my shoes, ok?
- Ok, caillou.
Sweet dreams.
And caillou had
Very sweet dreams.
- Sarah's christmas
Play is today.
Can we go, mommy?
Please, please, pleeeease!
- I don't see why not.
- What time does it start?
- Grandma said at 3 o'clock.
- Fine, but there's something
Really important to do first.
- What?
- The christmas lights outside.
So you'd better get dressed
And come and help me.
Grandpa's coming
Over to help, too.
Caillou couldn't
Wait to help daddy
And grandpa with the lights.
He felt like a very big boy.
- Hello.
Here's your extra pair of hands.
- Right on time!
- Grandpa!
- Are you ready to set
Up some lights caillou?
- We need lots and
Lots of lights.
Meanwhile, rosie
Was busy, too.
She was making sure her presents
Were ready for christmas.
- Caillou... Daddy..
Mommy... Gilbert...
No, gilbert!
Pwesents supwise!
- There!
- Good job caillou.
It looks great.
That about does it.
Caillou was very proud of
Having done such a great job.
He couldn't wait to see
The lights all lit up.
- Good job you two!
Caillou we have to get going.
Sarah's play starts soon
And we don't wanna be late.
But when caillou and
His family arrived
At the school, there was no
One else in the audience.
- I think we're early.
- It's exactly 3:00.
- Not according to the
School clock, it says 2:00.
- Maybe you should ask
Santa for a new watch.
- All right, everybody.
Let's begin the rehearsal.
♪ ♪
- Hi sarah!
- Hi caillou!
I'm sad because christmas
Is coming and...
Where's jimmy?
- Jimmy? That's your
Cue to come on stage.
- He's sick, miss johnson.
- Oh dear.
Well then, we need to find
Someone to replace him.
- Why don't you
Ask caillou?
He's right over there.
- Hello, caillou.
It's nice to see you again.
Would you like to
Be in our play?
- That sounds like a
Lot of fun, caillou.
Caillou was nervous.
- Why don't you come on
Stage and give it a try.
Sarah will be with
You the whole time.
- Caillou!
- It's easy, caillou.
When I say "I'm sad, because
Christmas is coming...
You say, "and there is no snow".
- Exactly.
- Exactly.
And you say it nice and loud.
- Ok.
- Go ahead, sarah.
- I'm sad because
Christmas is coming...
- And there's no snow.
- Very good, caillou.
Could you say it a
Little louder this time,
So your mommy and
Daddy can hear you.
- And there's no snow.
- That was great, caillou!
- Excellent!
Caillou was happy he had
Said his line right.
He was very proud.
- And then you and
Sarah go off stage.
And at the
End of the play,
You come back on stage
With sarah again.
Then sarah says.
- Hurray, it's snowing!
- And, caillou, you say
"It's christmas time!"
Nice and loud with
A big smile, ok?
Wanna try it?
- It's christmas time!
- You're a
Natural, caillou.
Caillou liked being
In sarah's play,
He felt all grown up.
When the play was
About to start,
Caillou was feeling
Nervous again.
- Don't worry, I'll hold
Your hand, you'll do fine.
- Ready?
Say all your lines nice
And loud everybody.
Good luck!
Thank you, everyone.
We have a last-minute
Replacement this afternoon.
Let's have a big round
Of applause for caillou.
But when caillou
Heard his name,
It made him even more nervous.
- Sarah, I forget
What to say.
- You say: "and
There is no snow".
- Oh yeah.
- Come on! We have to
Go on stage now.
- Now?!
- Yes! Come on! You can do it.
I'm sad because
Christmas is coming...
- Caillou... 'And
There is no snow'
- And there is...
- Louder!
- And there is no snow.
(Friendly laughter)
- You did great!
- Thanks!
- Where is all the
Snow this year?
- Yes, where?
- Santa needs snow
For his sleigh.
Go ask, uh...
- Old man winter.
- Old man
Winter.
- Ok, I will go.
- Old man winter,
Santa needs snow.
- Ok, I'll huff and
Puff and make it snow!
♪ Snowflakes, we're
Snowflakes here comes the snow.
♪ Snowflakes, we're snowflakes

- Now I can bring
My presents.
- Hurray, it's snowing.
- It's christmas time!
(Crowd cheers)
Only two windows left, daddy!
- That means tomorrow
Is christmas eve!
- Wow! Christmas is
Really, really soon.
It looks like
Christmas dinner, daddy.
- It is!
Many people around the world
Celebrate christmas with
A special christmas meal.
In spain, they eat
'Besugo' which is fish.
And in norway, they
Eat roast goose,
And there's cheese
Pancakes in austria,
And plum pudding in england
And in france, on
Christmas eve,
Which is called "réveillon",
They have a special cake called
A "bûche de noël" which is
Filled with chestnut cream.
- Daddy?
- Yes caillou?
- I'm hungry!
- Ha ha ha ha!
(Purrrrr...)
- Teddy! Gilbert!
Today is christmas eve.
Santa's coming tonight.
C'mon! We have lots to do.
- Good morning, caillou.
- 'Morning!
- Uhmmm, caillou?
Cookies for breakfast?
- They're not
For me, mommy.
Santa's coming tonight,
I'm going to leave
Him some cookies.
Is santa coming
Down the chimney?
- Like he always does.
- Then we should clean
Out the fireplace.
I don't want santa to get dirty.
- Good thinking, caillou.
- Hahahaha!
(Ding-dong)
- Ah! That must be
Grandma and grandpa!
- Grandma! Grandpa!
Santa's coming tonight!
- Yes he is, but only when
You'll be sound asleep right?
And the best way to go to
Sleep is on a full tummy!
- So I guess we
Better get cooking
If we're having
Turkey tonight!
- And apple pie.
Right grandma?
- Absolutely, are you going
To be my little helper again?
- Yes!
It was a busy scene
In the kitchen,
With preparations for christmas
Eve dinner going on everywhere.
- Ok, caillou.
I need help making
The turkey stuffing.
Now here's a spoon.
Now mix it all up.
- Well, the pie's
Ready to bake.
- And so is the turkey.
- Stuffing's ready, too.
- Yayyy!
- You finally found
Your toothbrush.
- No.
I still can't figure out where
The other one disappeared to.
- Same place my
Slippers did, I guess.
Let me help
You, sweetheart.
- Why do we have
To get dressed up?
Grandma and grandpa
Come over all the time.
- Because it's christmas
Eve dinner, silly.
It's a special night.
There.
Now you look perfect.
The meal was wonderful.
Caillou was so full he thought
His tummy would burst!
- I bet you've
Never seen anyone
Do the famous thumb
Trick before.
Dum-dee-dum-dum-duh!
Ladies and gentlemen,
Presenting grandpa's
Famous missing thumb trick!
Abra...
Caa-dabraaaa!
- Wow!
How'd you do
That grandpa?
- A magician isn't supposed
To reveal his tricks.
- Oh! I have a joke.
- Go for it!
- Knock, knock...
- Who's there?
- Isadore.
- Isadore who?
- Is a doorbell
Ringing, grandpa?
= Ha ha ha ha ha!
- That was a good
One, caillou!
- And now for my famous
Christmas apple pie.
- Even better than grandpa's
Famous turkey stuffing.

- Awwww!
- Do you want to
See what's behind
The big christmas eve window.
- Yes!
- Yaaa!
- Santa! He's on his way!
- 'Twas the night
Before christmas,
When all through the house
Not a creature was stirring,
Not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung
By the chimney with care,
In hopes that st. Nicholas
Soon would be there.
The children were nestled
All snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums
Danced in their heads.
And mamma in her
'Kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled down
For a long winter's nap.
When out on the lawn
There arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to
See what was the matter.
Away to the window
I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters
And threw up the sash.
When, what to my wondering
Eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh,
And eight tiny reindeer,
With a little old driver,
So lively and quick,
I knew in a moment
It must be st. Nick.
- Now, dasher! Now, dancer!
Now, prancer and vixen!
On, comet! On cupid!
On, donner and blitzen!
- And then, in a twinkling,
I heard on the roof the
Prancing and pawing
Of each little hoof.
As I drew in my hand,
And was turning around,
Down the chimney
St. Nicholas came with a bound.
His eyes, how
They twinkled!
His dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses,
His nose like a cherry!
He spoke not a word, but
Went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings,
Then turned with a jerk,
And laying his finger
Aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up
The chimney he rose.
He sprang to his sleigh,
To his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like
The down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim,
Er he drove out of sight.
- Happy christmas to all,
And to all a good-night!
- Sweet dreams, caillou.
Caillou was excited to
See all the presents.
And he noticed that santa
Had eaten all his cookies.
- Pwesents!
- Mommy, mommy!
Santa ate all my cookies!
- I see!
- Can I give my
Presents first?
Please! Please!
- Alright, your presents first.
- Here, mommy.
Here daddy.
- Thank you, sweetheart!
When did you make these?
- It was a surprise!
I made them at leo's house.
- And the wrapping
Is so beautiful.
- Open it!
- Oh! What a beautiful picture.
- It's you mommy!
- And is this a
Picture of me?
- Yes!
- Thank you
- It's wonderful.
- And this is for you rosie.
- Rosie pwesent?
Snowman!
- Do you like it?
- Yeah!
- Yeah!
- I think santa brought
This one for you.
- Wow!
A space station!
Just what I wanted!
- Now! Rosie pwesents.
- How nice, thank you.
- Thank you rosie.
- Well look at this,
Your missing slippers!
- Oops... And your
Electric toothbrush.
= Here you go.
- Caillou present.
- Rexy! There you are!
You weren't lost at all!
- Now I get it.
Rosie wanted to give
Us presents we love.
- Yaaaaaaa!
Caillou love rexy!
- You two did a very
Good job at keeping
Your presents a surprise.
- And I think
Rosie just started
Our very own family tradition.
Caillou learned a lot about
Traditions from all the
Calendar stories, right caillou?
- Uh-huh!
I learned about the
First christmas tree
And where christmas
Cards came from
And saint nick.
- He taught us that giving and
Sharing are important, right?
