-Yes!
-Whoo-hoo! It's here!
It's here!
Help me spread the word!
[fanfare plays]
It's here!
Can you believe it?
Go and tell Santa it's time!
-Come on, Cocoa Gingersnap!
It's up to us!
The moment has arrived!
Go! Get the others!
-Affirmative!
Let's move out!
-Break!
-Tell the whole mailroom!
Santa's gonna make
an announcement!
-On it!
[bell tolling]
-Do you think
it's really happening?
-I think it is!
I think it's really happening!
-You girls better get going!
-Hey, guys, wait up!
What's happening?
-Watch out!
-Oh, geez!
I'm sorry, Joy.
-You know, we're all in a rush
to get there.
-Get where? What's all
the excitement about?
-You really don't know,
do you?
The clouds are parting.
It's time to measure
the World's Christmas Cheer!
-And that's important
because... ?
-It's how we're all magical
at the North Pole!
-What do you mean?
-It's how we're all magical
at the North Pole!
-Come with me. You'll see.
-[up-tempo music plays]
-When the star shines bright,
we know that Christmas Cheer
is near.
-So... this is where the World's
Christmas Cheer is measured?
-It sure is!
And then it's used
to make Christmas magical!
[up-tempo music continues]
As the star shines bright
We know that Christmas Cheer
Is near
As the star shines bright
We know that Christmas Cheer
Is near
Without Christmas Spirit,
Its faith, hope, and love
Shining down on us
From the sky above
The sleigh can't glide,
And the toys can't get made
Leaving Santa's flight
On Christmas Eve...
Regrettably delayed
As the star shines bright
We know that Christmas Cheer
Is near
As the star shines bright
We know that Christmas Cheer
Is near
The spirit of Christmas
Is deep at the soul
Of what makes us magical
At the North Pole
This joyous night happens
One time a year
As snow clouds break open
And the star rays appear
As the star shines bright
We know that Christmas Cheer
Is near
As the star shines bright
We know that Christmas Cheer
Is near
How do you think
We got our magic here?
Christmas Cheer
[cheers and applause]
-Look, it's Santa!
-Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!
-Santa, over here!
-I'm so glad you have come
to the State of the World's
Christmas Spirit update!
-[cheers and applause]
-All right, Santa!
-As you know, the measuring
of Christmas Spirit
is vital for our success.
Without the right amount
of each special ingredient,
I'm not able
to make Christmas magical.
[plays fanfare]
-Hear ye, hear ye!
It is my honor and pleasure
to present to Santa Claus
the annual report
of the World's Christmas Cheer!
-[chuckles] Why, thank you.
We've measured and tracked
the World's Christmas Cheer,
and the truth is,
my friends...
I've seen better years.
-Did you hear what he just said?
-Oh, no!
-We've never had a problem
with Christmas Spirit
being too low before.
I need to get back to my family
in Bellville.
-[up-tempo music plays]
- You're listening
to Bellville's own
Christmas classics station.
I'm D.J. Tinsel Taylor,
and it's time for everyone's
favorite Christmas classic,
"Wishing You
a Little, Merry, Joyful,
Upbeat, Happy, Jubilant
Christmas Day!"
-So, what are you guys looking
forward to most this Christmas?
-I don't really know,
but I guess I do like seeing
the whole town
decorated with Christmas lights.
-Presents!
-[chuckles]
-[chuckles] I'm shocked!
-Well, I also like
leaving cookies for Santa
and baking them with you guys.
-Yeah, me, too.
-Murry, what about you?
-I don't know.
-Come on...
it's the presents, right?
-Yeah.
-Well, for me, it's being
with you guys, right here,
just spending time together.
You know, when I was young,
my mom used to bring me here
every Christmas
to pick out a gift
for my little sister.
The man who owned it
was Mr. Bob,
and he had the biggest heart
in the whole world.
And everyone loved him
because...
-...he was an example
of the true spirit of Christmas.
-That's right!
And this town just hasn't been
the same since we lost him.
So, hopefully, he's proud of how
we are carrying on his legacy
and running the store.
Hello! Welcome!
Come on in!
And what can we do
for you today?
-We need a new pair of shoes
and a few canned goods.
-Sure. No problem.
Follow me.
Hey, girls? Can you go see
what's in the pantry?
-Okay. Come on, Kendyl.
-You'll have to catch me first!
-Will you hand me that bread,
while I grab some soup?
-What else are you
going to give her?
-I know, there's not much here.
Hand me those noodles
and that tuna fish over there.
-There's not much back there,
Daddy.
-[chuckles nervously] I know.
It's been really lean this year.
Thanks so much.
Have a great night.
-Thanks. You, too.
[door closes, bell jingles]
-Hey, I'm sure
the food will come.
It always does.
We must have faith
and do our part.
Sometimes,
people just need reminding.
[bell jingles]
[bells jingling]
-Donate to Bob's Helping Hands.
Cash, clothes, change,
canned goods.
We'll take it!
Any or all!
-Hey, excuse me.
-Yeah?
-Do you know
where the trash can is?
-Yeah. I mean, sure.
It's right over here.
-I want one.
-Mom? Can I have one?
-Please, Mom? With sugar on top?
-Please?
-Here you go, kids!
[bell jingles]
And here you go, little girl.
-Dad, we got some money!
How much is it?
-Well, enough for a balloon
or a piece of gum.
Not much else, I'm afraid.
-We've had some complaints.
You're going to have to go.
-But... we've always collected
donations here.
-I'm sorry, Jonah.
-In this town
It used to be that neighbor
Would help neighbor
In time of need
Whatever happened
To goodwill?
Have we all been consumed
By greed?
Could it be
We've lost our way
And think
That all these things
Will bring us peace?
Tell me, please,
Can anything bring back
The spirit of Christmas
That used to be?
In this town
Who will look out
For all the poor and needy
Who can't afford
A loaf of bread?
Who can't afford
The luxury of being greedy
Without a roof
Over their head?
-Peace on Earth
Peace on Earth
Peace on Earth
Peace on Earth
-Could it be
We've lost our way
And think
That all these things
Will bring us peace?
Tell me, please,
Can anything bring back
The spirit of Christmas
That used to be?
In this town
-So, how's it looking so far?
-[sighs heavily]
It's not looking good.
-I'm seeing it
in Bellville, too.
I wonder if humans realize
they can make a difference?
[elves murmuring]
-While it's true the spirit
of Christmas is deep at the soul
of what makes us magical
at the North Pole,
there is a way to make this star
shine brighter
each year it returns.
-How do we do that, Santa?
-Santa?
-Friends, the legend is clear.
There's only one way
to build extra cheer!
-Hear ye! Hear ye!
The Book of Lore, as requested!
-According to the legend,
when the heart of a child,
where love is most true,
outwardly shines,
then hope will break through.
You see, when children are kind
and choose to do good,
their inner light shines.
And though they won't see it,
each time that they try
to carry out kindness
their light will supply
an invisible trail
of holiday cheer.
And as you all know,
that's what we hold most dear.
-Ruff!
-Santa?
-Do you think that's Barry?
-Guys, he's almost as big
as a polar bear!
-It's the watchdog of Christmas?
-I've heard he's as old
as Christmas itself.
-Look! His head is giant.
It's like a... weather balloon!
-Welcome, old friend!
I knew you would come.
-Ruff! Ruff!
Ruff!
-I see you've brought friends.
Ho! Ho! Ho!
You've always been loyal
to Christmas!
-Ruff!
-You're right.
This time, it's different.
-Ruff! Ruff! Ruff!
-The children are needed.
They must do their part.
To work alongside you--
All of you--
with joy in their hearts!
-Ruff! Ruff! Ruff!
-These pups are here
to rescue the soul
of the holiday season
and save the North Pole!
[cheering and barking]
But you're going to need
this golden heart charm
filled with
a little Christmas magic.
-Wow! [oohs and ahhs]
[laughter]
-I've never seen anything
like this before!
-That is so cool!
-Did you see that?
-Awesome.
-Kids will adopt you
and give you a name.
They'll cuddle and snuggle
to show they believe,
which will give you your magic
on each Christmas Eve.
-Ruff!
-So, how do they help?
-Gather 'round. Gather 'round.
Pups, use your brown barrel
to collect and store that light.
Keep it safe and secure.
Lock it up tight.
-We promise to do good
and carry out kindness
to help build Christmas Cheer.
-What do you think
"doing good" means?
-I think it's being nice.
-What does Dad say?
-He says doing good
is thinking about other people
before you think about yourself.
-So, like, when I have candy
and you want some,
and I don't eat it
all by myself?
-You mean you share it with me?
-Yeah, something like that!
Do you think
we could do something good?
-I think so.
-Whatcha doin'?
-Talking about
doing something kind.
-Oh, yeah?
-Yeah!
We just made a promise
to help build Christmas Cheer!
-Okay!
-Really? Thanks!
-You're welcome.
-Well, from what I could tell,
Bob's Helping Hands
could use some help.
-Yeah!
-What can we do?
We're just kids!
-I'm sure there's something.
-When I was with Dad
the other day,
he was really sad.
No one would help us.
-Yeah, it was the same way
for us.
Everyone was just too busy
to come to the door.
-Or just too self-absorbed.
-What does that mean?
-Never mind.
You'll learn about it
when you grow up.
Really, I think the answer
could be sort of simple.
We could donate some things
ourselves.
-To Bob's Helping Hands?
-I love that idea!
-Me, too!
-Change is going to have
to start with us!
-I have some birthday money
from Gran.
And some from Uncle Patrick
and Aunt Lilly.
-I have some from babysitting.
-I have some
from raking Ms. Denise's lawn
and helping
with Ms. Catherine's yard sale.
-Let's go tell Brandon!
-Great job!
-Oh, wait!
-Quick! She's coming back!
-I forgot Sampson!
Hmm, I don't remember
leaving you like that.
Oh, well.
Bye, Joy Sugar Cookie!
-This was a really good idea.
-Yeah!
-I've got the list, so we'll go
get the stuff that's on sale.
-$77, $78...
-Oops. Sorry about that.
-I want the Rockin' Robot 400!
-I want the Tween Machine!
-I told you no!
-But, Mom, please!
-I've already told you.
You're going to have to ask
Santa for that.
-I don't want to ask Santa!
-[sighs] Where were we?
-Hang on.
I've got more right here.
-So, how much do we have?
-About $80.
-Perfect. I think that's
about what we figured.
-[monotone] Welcome to
the Magnificent Mega-Mart.
We're mega-thrilled
to have you here.
How are you today?
-We're fine. How are you?
-Oh, just magnificent.
-[chuckles] Well, that's good.
-Canned ham? You doing
some shopping for your mom?
-No. [Chuckles]
-Your dad?
-Sort of.
-I don't see that a lot
from kids.
Lima beans...
navy beans...
white rice...
jasmine rice...
rice pilaf.
Too bad you didn't come by
yesterday.
We were running
a two-for-one sale on these.
-You mean it's not on sale?
It's all regular price today?
-[sighs] Afraid so.
That comes to $100.89.
-Christa,
any more money in there?
-Let me check,
but I don't think so.
-Murry, are you sure
you gave me everything?
Check your pockets again.
-Oh, come on!
What's the hold up?
-What's taking so long?
-What is with these kids?
-I want to go play with my toys!
-Where are their parents?
-Look, kids,
just put something back.
What's all this stuff for
anyway?
-We just picked up some things
to help Bob's Helping Hands.
-It's just that we thought...
-You're doing all this
for Bob's Helping Hands?
-We want to help other people
this Christmas!
-Oh!
Okay!
Everyone settle down!
-My dad runs that place,
and he probably wouldn't like us
talking about it,
but the pantry is pretty empty.
-And, without our help,
there are going to be
a lot of hungry people.
-That is something really
special you kids are doing.
-What are you doing?
-I used to go
to Bob's Helping Hands
whenever I needed
a little extra help!
[cash register dings]
Okay, you kids are all set!
-Thank you!
-Thank you so much!
-Thanks for reminding me what
the true spirit of Christmas
is really all about.
Have a magnificent day!
-Bye!
-Wow! Can you believe that?
-I know!
That was so nice!
-Oh, you know,
I'm just so sorry.
Donations are down this year.
We're hoping
to get more any day.
-What are we going to do?
-I guess we'll just have
to come back tomorrow.
-I guess we'll come back then.
[bell jingles]
-Dad! Wait!
-[laughs]
What are you kids doing?
What's all this?
-Kendyl and Murry were wanting
to do something good.
-Something that would bring
Christmas Cheer!
-And help all of us remember...
-...what the true
spirit of Christmas...
-...is really all about!
-Well, this is one
of the most thoughtful...
Where did you get all the money?
-Birthdays!
-Allowances!
-Chores!
-Babysitting!
-Bob would be so proud.
[bell jingles]
Well, hello, Mr. Jones.
-Hello, Jonah!
We heard you could use
some help.
-This makes such a difference!
-When we saw
what your kids were doing,
we wanted to be a part of it.
-Thank you.
Thank you so much.
-No, Jonah. Thank you!
-And Merry Christmas
to you, Jonah!
-Thank you so much!
This is so nice of you!
-Hi, nice to see you!
Thank you so much!
-Thank you!
Thank you all so much!
-Happy faces...
-Merry Christmas, Jonah!
-It's good to see you, Larry!
Merry Christmas, everyone!
-Wishing you
A little, merry, happy
Jubilant Christmas Day!
-Santa! Santa!
I bring good news!
Scout Elf reports are coming in
from all over the world.
The puppies' barrels are being
filled with Christmas Spirit.
Christmas Cheer is on the rise!
-Ruff! Ruff! Ruff!
-Ho! Ho! Ho!
Well, that is good news!
-With the help of kids,
they are storing up
the spirit we'll need...
-To make sure
all of our missions succeed!
-Does this mean
everything is okay?
Is Christmas Spirit
really restored?
-It looks
like this Christmas...
is destined to be
a magical one!
As the star shines bright
We know that Christmas Cheer
Is near
As the star shines bright
We know that Christmas Cheer
Is near
Thanks to Christmas Spirit,
Its faith, hope, and love
Shining down on us
From the sky above
The sleigh can glide,
And the toys will get made
And Santa's flight
On Christmas Eve
Will never be delayed
As the star shines bright
We know that Christmas Cheer
Is near
As the star shines bright
We know that Christmas Cheer
Is near
The spirit of Christmas
Is deep at the soul
Of what makes us magical
At the North Pole
This joyous night happens
One time a year
As snow clouds break open
And the star rays appear
As the star shines bright
We know that Christmas Cheer
Is near
As the star shines bright
We know that Christmas Cheer
Is near
Now you know
How we've got our magic here!
Christmas Cheer!
[cheers and applause]
-What a great Christmas season!
Would you look at all this?
[yawns]
It's getting late.
And now it's time
to get you all up to bed.
-Goodnight, Dad!
-You, too, Kendyl.
You need to get in bed
before Santa comes.
[whispering]
Merry Christmas, girls.
-Pups at the window
Will patiently find
The star from the east
Watching over mankind
A beam from the star
Will drift throughout space
Then softly descend
On each golden charm's face
Their barrel will open,
The treasure inside
Of faith, hope, and love
Will all swirl 'round outside
The heartbeat of Christmas,
Its spirit and cheer
Will climb to the star
So that year after year
The magic of Christmas
Will greatly increase
And with it the chance
For goodwill and peace
-Ho! Ho! Ho!
I offer glad tidings and joy,
with a Christmastime blessing
for each girl and boy!
Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!
And Merry Christmas!
