[Ella laughing] Whoa.
Now is that a snowman or a snowbot?
It's a dancing snow machine, Daddy.
Well, can that snow machine
dance us up a cup of hot chocolate?
Then let's head inside.
[laughing]
-[Ruby humming]
-Hey, Mom.
-Hello, Grandma.
-[Ruby] Hi, Bill.
[laughs]
Let's get to decorating that tree.
[grunting]
[Rod] Unh!
-Oh!
-Oh!
Huh?
Hmm.
Boy, oh, boy, my Christmas lights
are gonna brighten up all of Motown.
[Ella] Whoo-hoo!
I don't know, Uncle Rod.
These look kinda minuscule
Microsco
They're not that big. [laughs]
Uh, that so, Benny?
Here, put these on.
So bright!
Okay, Uncle Rod, you're right.
-Way too bright.
-[laughs]
Too bright or not bright enough?
[chuckles]
Oh, hey, Ben, honey,
did you get your presents for everybody?
I sure did, Mom.
Here's yours and, oh, Dad's.
Uncle Rod.
Ella. Grandpa Marvin and, uh
And, uh
[gasps] Oh, no!
I didn't get anything for Grandma.
[sighs] And now Now, it's too late.
[stammers] Hey, it's okay.
It's okay, baby.
You just
Just get her some wool socks.
But she always gets wool socks.
Let me tell you,
your grandma could open a store
with all them socks she got stockpiled.
Well, not this year.
Hey, Grandma, uh,
you know I was thinking, like,
what do you really want for Christmas?
And don't say socks. [laughs]
[laughs] Well, Benjamin,
you know, sweetie,
I think I've got just about everything
I want here already.
You know, come on over here
and have a seat with your grandma.
Hmm. Huh? Uh, who's that?
Oh, just someone I used to know.
[Ben] Oh! It's you.
You look so, uh, happy.
It was a magical time, Benjamin.
Then my only worry
Was for Christmas what would be my toy ♪
Even though we sometimes
Would not get a thing ♪
We were happy with the joy
The day would bring ♪
I wish those days
Could come back once more ♪
Why did those days ever have to go? ♪
I wish those days
Could come back once more ♪
Why did those days ever have to go? ♪
'Cause I love them so ♪
Oh, I loved that ornament.
It seemed to me
like all the magic in the world
was shinin' right there
inside that little glass ball.
Oh, well, where is it now?
[clicks tongue]
Oh, I lost it a long time ago.
I can't quite remember how or where.
Hmm, you tend to lose touch with the magic
as you get older, Benjamin.
Magic. I think I know
where your ornament might be, Grandma.
Ben?
What? Now, where did that boy run off to?
Uh. [grunting]
Ahhh!
I know where you're going, Benji.
I saw you with the Master Piece.
I'm coming too, or I'm telling.
Okay, okay, but this is
an important mission for Grandma.
We gotta focus.
Ready!
-Whoo-hoo!
-Oh
[both panting]
ABC, easy as one, two, three!
-[Ella] Yeah!
-[Ben grunts]
[Dancing Machine beatboxing]
[both grunt]
Hey, guys.
Oh, uh, hey, Benny! Hey, Ella.
Hiya, Benja-matic! Ha ha!
[laughs] What's revvin'?
[gasps] Who made all these decorations?
They look kinda old and
Babyish.
They were made by someone I used to know.
Someone who made this place,
well, magic.
[both] Oh!
[gasps]
Did Grandma Ruby make all of this stuff?
[Skywriter] You mean, uh, little Ruby?
[sighs] Well, uh, yeah. I guess she was.
Well, Ruby used to love making this place
all, um Uh, wait, what did she call it?
Chree-ase Chris Christmassy?
We even made that old tree together,
to put all the presents under.
Oh, boy! Pwesents!
-Yeah!
-[Jimmy laughs]
Wait, Ella. We never, never open them.
[laughs]
Huh? Why not?
Because we don't have nothin' to put
under the tree for next Chrissy-miss.
Pwesents you can't open?
I'm outta here.
Uh, wait up, Ella.
Uh, speaking of presents,
I'm looking for something else
Grandma might have left in here.
Oh? Um, what does it look like, Benny?
Um, well, it's an ornament
for the top of a Christmas tree.
I think it's like a clear glass ball,
and it looks like all the magic
in the world is shining inside of it.
[sighs]
What's wrong, Skywriter?
Um, I'm more show than tell, Benny-Boo.
Hey, follow me!
I found I found
what you were looking for, Benny.
Be very careful with it.
It's real fragile.
I think Grandma would like socks better.
I don't think that's it, Skywriter.
Grandma Ruby told me
it was as radiant, luminous
She said it
Shined like all the magic in the world
was inside it?
Yeah, it used to, Benny-Bun, but, um
I haven't been able to get it to work
in a long time.
Maybe you and Ruby might have more luck.
I wish those days
Could come back once more ♪
Why did those days ever have to go? ♪
'Cause I love 'em so ♪
I think I know how to fix it, Skywriter.
Meow!
You like your gifts, Mama?
Oh, yeah, it's fine.
I love all my socks. [giggles]
Oh, boy. [laughs]
I'm glad to hear that.
Merry Christmas, Grandma Ruby.
What is this? Not even a pair of socks
from my grandchildren?
[sighs] Well, we got you
something real special.
-But first you need to
-Play a song!
[chuckles] Well, gee whiz!
I never heard of havin' to play
for my presents before,
but any excuse for a little music.
Well, any requests?
Something that gives you happy memories.

-[Ella] Whoo-hoo!
Anyone else feel a chill?
But how did you
[gasps] Where did you
It was right where you left it.
You just needed to sing it back to life,
Grandma.
Isn't it beautiful?
[Ella] So pwetty!
Yeah, real pretty.
But the real question
is what is powering it?
Magic.
Ha! If you wanna see magic,
you best to come outside.
Ha ha! I'm about to put some jingle
back in your bells.
