Happy holiday!
It's so good to see you.
Hey... Blue and I have something for you.
Are you ready?
Okay, go ahead, Blue.
It's a "happy holidays" picture.
We made it for you.
Oh, yeah, who do you think that is?
Blue!
Yes, it's Blue.
And there's me,
all bundled up for the winter.
It's just our way of saying
"happy holidays to you."
MR. SALT: Come on, Joe.
PEPPER: Let's go.
Oh, yeah, the present.
Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper have a present for all of us
and we're about to open it, come on.
PAIL: Can we open it now?
TICKETY TOCK: Is it time?
PEPPER: It is.
[ others cheering]
Here is our present to all of you.
Happy holidays, everyone!
Oh, boy, what do you think it's going to be?
Let's see.
OTHERS: Movies.
Movies.
Yeah, two movies.
We made them.
I wonder what they're about.
Who's in them?
Can we see?
Let's watch them.
Come on!
MR. SALT: Let's watch the first movie.
Is everybody ready?
ALL: Yes.
Are you ready to watch the movie?
Me, too.
We're all ready, Mr. Salt.
TICKETY TOCK: That's me!
SLIPPERY SOAP: And me!
When I was a baby.
This movie is from when we were babies?
That's right.
We made this movie a long time ago.
Wait, stop the movie.
Who do you think that baby is?
You!
Yeah, it's me when I was a baby.
You know, I still have that blanket.
Hold on.
See?
TICKETY TOCK: That is the same blanket.
It's the same duck blanket.
I liked ducks even when I was a baby.
Yes, that blanket
was your first holiday present.
"First holiday present"?
Cool.
Okay, let's keep watching the movie.
Here we go.
SHOVEL: That's me!
PAIL: And me!
Look, Shovel and Pail when they were babies.
Oh, who do you think that is?
Yeah, that's my brother, Steve,
when he was little.
I guess he always liked wearing stripes.
TICKETY TOCK: Wait a second,
why isn't Blue in the movie?
Yeah, Blue's not in the movie.
SLIPPERY SOAP: She's not?
Well, Blue wasn't here yet.
Oh, Blue wasn't here with us
when this movie was made?
Not yet.
But where was she?
Why wasn't she here yet?
Mr. Salt, we were just babies--
we don't remember what happened.
How did we meet Blue?
Aha, that's what
the rest of the movie is about.
Let's watch and find out how we met Blue.
MR. SALT: It was a long time ago...
on a cold and snowy holiday morning.
It was present-time.
Joe's present was his duck blanket,
which he loved very much.
Slippery Soap got a bubble wand.
And that's when he blew his first bubble.
Ooo...
MR. SALT: Tickety Tock got her first blocks,
which she loved to count.
One, two.
One, two.
[ giggles]
MR. SALT: Shovel and Pail got their first toy animals.
Grr.
Roar.
Grr!
Roar!
MR. SALT: And Side Table Drawer got
her very first telephone.
[ giggles]
Steve did not have his present yet,
but he knew exactly what he wanted.
I hope I get a puppy.
MR. SALT: You see, Steve always loved puppies,
but he never had a real one.
And that's what he wanted more than anything.
Hi, puppy.
[ imitates bark]
I wish you were a real puppy
that I could play with.
MR. SALT: And then, something came in the mail.
Oh, the mail's here!
The mail is here, the mail is here!
The mail is here, the mail is here!
♪ Mail! ♪
Hi, Mailbox.
Hiya.
One more present.
And it's for... Steve.
For me?
My present!
Thanks, Mailbox.
You're welcome.
Happy holidays.
Bye, Mailbox.
I wonder what it is.
Maybe it's a puppy.
MR. SALT: All the babies gathered around Steve,
and he opened his present.
OTHERS: What is it?
It's a book, a book about a puppy.
MR. SALT: The book was called About a Puppy,
and Steve read it to everybody.
Once upon a time on a faraway farm
there lived a bunch of puppies.
There were brown puppies and gray puppies.
There were black puppies and white puppies.
There was one puppy who was very different
from all the others.
Her name was Blue.
While the other puppies ate their food
from a bowl on the floor,
Blue sat the table and ate with a fork and a spoon.
While the other puppies buried a bone in the dirt,
Blue was happy to sit on a hill and draw a picture...
or read a story...
or sing a song.
But what Blue wanted more than anything else
was a friend to play with.
"Who else likes to play games?
"Who else likes to sing songs?
"Who else likes to read stories?
Who could my friend be?" Blue wondered.
And then Blue looked up.
She had an idea.
Could her friend be you?
The end.
I love this book so much.
MR. SALT: Steve loved his book so much
that he read it over and over again.
He read it by the window before his nap.
He read in the kitchen after snack.
He read it lying down... and standing up.
He even read it in the bathroom.
Steve must have read the book a hundred times.
And he read it one time that night before bed.
"Could her friend be you?
The end."
I'll be your friend, Blue.
Good night, blue puppy.
[ imitates bark]
MR. SALT: Early the next morning, while the sun was rising
and Steve was still sleeping, something happened.
[ barking]
Blue puppy?
MR. SALT: When Steve looked at the book,
he realized that the blue puppy was not there!
What did she go?
Blue puppy?
I wonder where she is.
What?
Blue puppy, you're out of your book.
Everyone, come here, look!
OTHERS: What is it?
This is the puppy from my book.
Her name is Blue.
OTHERS: Hi, Blue.
Blue, how come you jumped out of your book?
To play?
You came out
because you wanted to play with us?
Wow, I've always wanted a puppy to play with.
I'll be your friend, Blue.
MR. SALT: So both Steve and Blue got a new friend.
Hello.
[ barks]
You found me!
MR. SALT: Steve and Blue had such a good time together
that Steve wanted Blue to stay.
Blue, can you stay here with me?
[ barks]
Really?
You don't have to go back in your book?
Blue is staying!
MR. SALT: Blue was here to stay.
And that's the story of the day we met Blue.
Wow, great movie.
That's a nice story.
Hey, Blue, that was your first skiddoo.
Blue, you skiddooed right out of the book
and into the house.
What a great story.
[ telephone ringing faintly]
Oh, we'll be right back.
[ ringing]
Is that the doorbell?
No!
No?
[ ringing]
Oh, it's the telephone.
Hello?
STEVE: Hi, Joe.
Happy holidays!
Steve?
It's my brother, Steve.
He's calling all the way from college.
[ barks]
STEVE: Oh, hey, hi, Blue
Steve, we just saw the best movie
about the day we first met Blue,
and you were in it.
But you were little.
STEVE: Oh, yeah, I remember that day.
Blue skiddooed right out of the storybook.
I... I couldn't believe it.
Yeah, that was cool.
STEVE: Hey, Joe, do you think
I could say hi to my friend?
Of course.
Steve wants to say hi to you.
STEVE: Hi, how are you doing?
Did you like watching that movie?
You know, I used to love that storybook.
I read it over and over and over again.
Well, I miss you.
Enjoy the holidays, okay?
Bye!

Hiya, Mailbox.
We just saw you in that movie.
I guess you've been bringing us the mail since you were a baby.
That's right, and I've got something for you today--
a holiday card!
Thanks so much, Mailbox.

Oh, look, it's a holiday card from our friends.
ALL: Happy holidays, Joe.
Happy Kwanza.
Happy Hanukkah.
Merry Christmas.
Happy Ramadan.
GIRL: In my family, we celebrate Kwanza.
My favorite part of Kwanza is making necklaces out of beads.
My dad lights candles that are black, red and green.
BOY: In the wintertime, my family celebrates Hanukkah.
We light a candle every day for eight days.
My favorite part of Hanukkah is playing dreidel with my family.
We spin the dreidel and we can win chocolate coins.
BOYS: Gimel!
GIRL: We celebrate Christmas in our family.
My favorite part is making Christmas cookies with my dad.
He helps me with strings of popcorn,
and then we decorate our Christmas tree.
BOY: In my family, we celebrate Ramadan.
We're not supposed to eat all day.
That's called fasting.
And then when the sun goes down, we eat a big feast.
My cousins come over to eat with us.
We break the fast with dates and milk.
That's my favorite part of Ramadan.
WOMAN: Only take what you can eat.
[ laughter]
ALL: Bye, Joe.
Happy holidays.
Hey, which holiday do you celebrate?
Cool.
MR. SALT: Time for the movie.
It's time to watch the next movie.
Come on.
[ barks]
Is everyone ready for the next movie?
[ all agreeing]
Mr. Salt, so if the other movie
was about when we met Blue,
what's this movie about?
"Blue's First Clue."
It tells the story of the first time
we ever played the game Blue's Clues.
[ barks]
Really?
The first time we played the game Blue's Clues ever?
Ever.
Here it goes.
[ barking]
MR. SALT: The next day, everyone was outside playing in the snow.
Everybody has something they love to do in the snow.
Shovel and Pail made a snowman.
Nose.
MR. SALT: Slippery Soap and Tickety Tock loved to lie down
and make prints in the snow.
Me.
Me.
MR. SALT: Blue and Steve rode a sled down a little hill.
And Joe was happy just to sit in the snow.
Later that day, it was nap time,
so the babies got into their cradles
and snuggled into their blankets.
But there was one problem.
Joe, where's your blanket?
MR. SALT: Joe could not find his duck blanket.
It's okay, Joe.
Don't worry.
We'll find it.
Let's look for it.
MR. SALT: Everyone looked everywhere--
behind the thinking chair,
inside the toy chest,
under Steve's bed.
But nobodyknew where the blanket was...
except for Blue.
Blue,
do you know where Joe's blanket is?
[ barking]
Blue knows.
Where is it, Blue?
MR. SALT: Blue wanted to tell everyone
where the blanket was, but she didn't know how.
What?Huh?
What is she saying?
We don't understand, Blue.
[ barks]
[ barks]
What's that?
Blue, are you leaving us a clue
about where Joe's blanket is?
[ barking]
Cool.
Blue left a clue.
Wow!
MR. SALT: And that is when the game of Blue's Clues began.
Our clue is "circle,"
so Joe's blanket is somewhere with circles, right, Blue?
[ barking]
We should write this clue down so we don't forget it.
I have an idea!
Hi, Side Table Drawer.
Do you have something I can draw with?
I sure do.
A notebook and a crayon.
Thank you, Side Table.
You're welcome.
[ barking]
Circles.
Blue, I wrote down the first clue.
How many clues are there going to be?
[ barks "one, two, three"]
One, two, three?
Oh, so we have to find three clues
to figure it out?
[ barks]
We have to find two more clues
to find Joe's blanket.
[ barking]
I wonder where the next clue is going to be.
[ barking]
A clue-- Blue left her second clue on this carrot.
A carrot-- that's our second clue.
[ barking]
See?
One more to find.
[ Blue barks]
[ barking]
The last clue!
A clue on the snow.
[ barks]
Blue, that's our third clue.
Now we can go figure out where Joe's blanket is.
Let's go think.
Oh, I'll think here.
So, the clues are circles...
a carrot...
and snow.
Well, what has circles, a carrot and snow?
Wait, what about a snowman?!
Blue, is that where Joe's blanket is, by the snowman?
[ barks]
It is-- that's the answer to Blue's clues.
Come on.
[ barking]
There it is, Joe's blanket.
Come on, let's go dry it off for him.
[ barking]
MR. SALT: So everybody was happy.
That was a great game, Blue.
MR. SALT: Steve and Blue got to play the game of Blue's Clues
for the very first time.
All right.
[ barks]
Come on.
MR. SALT: And Joe got his blanket back.
Joe, look, we found your blanket.
It was on the snowman.
[ barking]
MR. SALT: And now that Joe had his blanket,
everybody could finally take their naps.
The end.
SLIPPERY: Aw, what a nice movie.
Can we watch it again?
Now, that is a great story.
[ barks]
Hey, Blue, thanks for helping me find my blanket.
Thanks to you, I still have it today.
[ barks]
And thank you, Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper.
Those movies were an amazing gift.
Oh, you're welcome.
We're glad you liked them.
[ barking]
[ barks]
It's snowing.
[ barking]
Just like it did on our first holiday together.
