like he planned that must have been the worst christmas ever oh yes it would

have been if it wasn't for what happened next what what happened

well as the toys were coming down the assembly line having their noses tested

one of them he grimaced made a face didn't like the

sound of the words that was coming out of his own head but he was just a toy

maybe he was wire different who knows anyways that night while all the other

toys were waiting to get sent out he was doing some thinking

grumpy kids greedy dreams

this is not what christmas means

i'm just a toy i don't claim to be a genius but there must be more to

christmas [Music]

that's a buzz saw louie cool push his nose push his nose okay

you need more toys now that's the true meaning of christmas

no it isn't who said that i did that's not what christmas is about

it's not no christmas isn't about whining and begging for more toys well

then what is it about i don't know but i'm gonna find out i'm on an

adventure or at least i was until i got stuck in

that snow drift well maybe we could help you hey i know someone who's really really

smart maybe they could tell us what christmas means well they all thought that was a great

idea so they headed off together to see this smart person who was it

well um it was uh me you grandpa george don't act so

surprised yep three boys and a funny little toy show up at my front door

wondering if i know the true meaning of christmas well did you of course but i didn't want

to just give it to him so i read him a story from a very old book

i hear it is that night in the fields near bethlehem some shepherds were god in their sheep

all at once an angel came down to them from the lord and the brightness of the lord's glory flashed all around them the

shepherds were frightened but the angel said don't be afraid i have good news

for you which will make everyone happy this very day in king david's hometown a

savior was born for you he is christ the lord you will know who he is because

you'll find him dressed in baby clothes and lying on a bed of hay

suddenly many other angels came down from heaven and joined in praising god

they said glory to god in the highest and on earth peace good will towards men

[Music] don't you see that baby was jesus

that night was the first christmas you see god loved people so much that he gave

his only son so that everyone could be with him someday

christmas isn't about getting it's about giving

and it's especially about a little baby named jesus who was the greatest gift of

all you are smart grandpa george is that the

end of the story oh no now they knew what christmas was about

but everybody else was still in the dark [Music]

[Applause] [Music]

[Applause] oh boy it's gotten worse

we've got to tell dinkletown what we know about christmas yeah but that tv

commercial didn't just go to dingletown it went everywhere we've gotta tell everybody but christmas is tomorrow how

could we possibly go everywhere you can just forget about pugsleyville the

bridge is out this is hopeless christmas is ruined

no there must be a way keep thinking [Music]

i've got it huh we've gotta get into that toy factory

follow me everyone we can save christmas

i still don't understand why we're here yeah i just got out of this place i

don't want to go back in you'll just have to trust me it's the only way

[Music]

[Music] it's gotta be around here somewhere

[Music]

[Music] that's it [Music]

why this is a it's a tv studio that's right it was mr nessa's

television studio now junior figured that since it was a tv commercial that got him into this

mess maybe another tv commercial could get him out of it

well here's hoping [Music]

attention everyone this is junior asparagus from dinkletown with an

important message we were wrong about christmas

christmas isn't about being selfish and begging for more toys i'm not that tortoise or bad i have a

fear myself that i enjoy very much but you see there's much more to christmas

louie thank you junior oh listen everybody when it comes to

christmas now louie told them about the true meaning of christmas about god's

love and the baby jesus about how given very often makes us feel

better than get knowing the truth about christmas made everybody very happy

well almost everybody they're not whining

why aren't they whining i don't know boss

so this christmas instead of whining for more toys let's try to be thankful for our families

that's my toy that's my tv studio mr luck somebody's trying to ruin my

christmas so you see that's what christmas is really about

and if we remember that this will be the best christmas ever

[Music]

technicalities [Music]

[Music]

so you're the guys who want to ruin my christmas

no that's not it at all we just want everyone to know what christmas is really about

do you think they care well do you really think they care about all that

giving and love stuff well listen the only thing kids want to know about

christmas is that they're going to get more toys and i intend to keep it that way that's why i'm going to have to send

you boys on a little trip let's see where would you like to go

quibblestown [Music] just don't send us the pugsleyville the

bridge is out boxleyville oh i hear it's nice this

annie it was a great christmas the next day everyone got together to exchange

gifts why even mr nezu was there oh mr nether

oh i have one just like that's just what i always wanted [Music]

what about louie what happened to him well he ended up living in dinkletown at

first he wanted to have his buzzsaw surgically removed so nobody would get hurt but then he finally figured out

what it was good for what making furniture why he filled tinkletown with new tables and chairs

and hutches and spice racks and those little things to hang your mugs on and where you get the picture i need more

what but the best part of all was that they finally knew what christmas really meant

and they just couldn't stop thinking about it and talking about it and even

singing about it [Music]

yep it was the best christmas ever [Music]

oh [Music]
