A Muppet Family Christmas Page #2

Okay, boys, put it over there

in the corner.

Come on, Doc, let's get

this holly up here.

Oh, Mrs. Bear! I've been chasing

a truck, and boy-- Whoa!

Oh, my! I guess Fozzie didn't tell you

about the icy patch.

Yeah, I guess he didn't.

Anyhow, my name's Rowlf the Dog.

- I've come for the holidays.

- More? More people?

I'll go out and see if there's

a spare pillow in the kennel.

Yeah, bark, bark.

Don't you just hate it

when you can't speak the language?

Stay right where you are.

- Kermit, where are you?

- In the kitchen, Fozzie.

I got some wonderful news!

Kermit, let me tell you

about this new act I found.

- Listen to this.

- I'm listening.

- I was outside building a snowman--

-Just a second.

Kermit, wait. See--

Hello. Emily Bear's residence.

This is Kermit the Fro--

I just wanted to tell you I have an itsy

bit of Christmas shopping to do...

before I come out to the farmhouse.

But, Piggy, tonight's Christmas eve.

Not never you fear, dear.

I shall be there soon. Ta-ta.

Oh, green fuzzy flipper slippers.

Divine. Have them gift-wrapped.

Kermit, now can I tell you

about my new act?

I'm all ears.

Now what can that be?

What does he mean, he's all ears?

Frogs don't even have ears.

This is my dog Sprocket.

He is not a Christmas turkey!

I don't care if the turkey says

the dog is a turkey.

The dog is not a turkey.

The turkey's the turkey, you turkey!

Come on, Sprocket!

This is starting to be fun.

Whoa, speaking of fun--

Hey, mama, how you doin'?

Look what I have!

It's home movies!

I found this old film

in the closet.

It's the very first Christmas

the Muppets ever spent together.

Great. I haven't seen that film

in years.

Turn off the lights

and roll the film!

Yep, some things never change.

Oh, that was fun.

Even weirdos are cute

when they're babies.

- I knew you'd learn to love us.

- I didn't say that.

What's that?

I tell you, Chicken Little,

you're my kind of poultry.

Camilla, what's going on here?

You got some drumsticks there,

my fine-feathered mama.

But Camilla's my girlfriend.

You gotta be kidding.

You're not even a bird.

Nobody's perfect.

Come on, Henny Penny, let's me and you

got out to the farmyard...

for a little friendly

scratching and squawking.

All right, cut!

That does it. Let me at him.

- I'm gonna rip off his waddle.

- You and what other nerds?

- Put up your wings, turkey toes.

- You're pulling my leg, hose nose.

I'll be pulling your wishbone,

cranberry breath.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah.

Hark! What do I hear?

You hear me about to make

some turkey hash.

No, listen.

Methinks me hears carolers.

Here we come a-caroling

among the leaves so green

Here we come a-wandering

so fair to be seen

Love and joy come to you

And to you glad tidings too

And God bless you and send you

a happy new year

And God send you

a happy new year

It's the Sesame Street gang!

- Merry Christmas from Sesame Street!

- Merry Christmas!

Deck the halls with boughs of holly

'Tis the season to be jolly

Don we now our gay apparel

Troll the ancient yuletide carol

Okay, Ernie, you're next.

See the blazing yule before us

Strike the harp

and join the chorus

I will not sing this song.

While I count

the yuletide treasure

Your turn, Hairy Monster.

That's the way

the old year passes

Build anew

ye lads and lasses

Sing ye joyous all together

Deck the halls with boughs of holly

'Tis the season to be jolly

That was fun!

I love carols!

It's nice to have everyone here.

You can feel the peace

of the holiday season.

Watch out!

Well, Doc,

you know what this means?

Sprocket and I will have to give up

our hammock in the attic, right?

Either that or build bunk beds

in the broom closet.

Sprocket, go get me a hammer,

will you?

- Hi there. We're Ernie and Bert.

- Yeah.

Well, hi there yourself.

I'm Doc.

Did you know that ''Doc'' starts

with the letter ''D''?

- Why, yes.

- Yes. ''Yes'' starts with the letter ''Y.''

- True.

- And ''true'' starts with the letter ''T.''

-What is this?

-Where we come from, this is small talk.

Whatever you say.

It's nice to meet you...

but I've gotta go and build

some bunk beds.

- Bunk beds!

- ''B'' words.

You got me wrong.

I'm a dairy cow. Moo!

Hey, all right, okay, I'm a--

I'm a birdie, I'm a birdie!

I'm a seagull, all right?

Okay, all right, I admit it!

The jig is up!

Here I am,

the Christmas turkey.

Watch it there, will ya?

Oh, yeah, I recognize it now.

This is the traditional fitting,

right...

to see if the roasting pan

is big enough for the nice fat bird?

Of course,

before we go any further...

there is one thing

I think you should see.

If you think I'm a nice fat bird,

look at this!

Ain't it the truth.

Hey, everyone, quiet down.

There's a bulletin on TV.

And now for this news flash.

The worst blizzard in 50 years

is approaching us at a great rate.

The weather service reports

that barometers are falling sharply.

He's right. Look at the snow.

One snowflake, two snowflake--

But Miss Piggy's out there

in that storm.

All right, the huge canary sleeps

in the attic with the cookie eater.

Check.

The blue monster said

he'd sleep in the bathtub.

Check.

Ernie and Bert will bunk out

with the lizard here.

- Frog. Kermit the Frog.

- What about Oscar?

I'll be nicely miserable

in my trash can here.

Hey, maybe I could bunk out

here with you.

I've never had a rat in my trash can

before. That might be nice.

Hey, everybody, look what I've got--

Christmas cookies!

Cookie!

Oh, thank you.

Who was that strange blue creature?

That my kind of fella.

Hey, everybody, it's time to rehearse

for our Sesame Street pageant.

It's called

'Twas the Night Before Christmas.

- Come on out, Bert.

- I won't.

- Come on, Bert.

- Ernie, please don't make me.

Bert, listen, everybody's waiting.

Ernie, why must you always

humiliate me?

Come on. Somebody has to play Mama,

and you lost the toss.

All right, well,

just get it over with.

'Twas the Night Before Christmas

by Clement Moore. Hit it, Rowlf.

'''Twas the night before Christmas

and all through the house...

not a creature was stirring,

not even a mouse.''

- Cue the mouse.

- I'm here, I'm here!

- The Grover mouse is here.

- What's the bowl for?

Oh! So that you can see

that I am not stirring.

Note how the hand

never touches the spoon.

Thank you, thank you.

Thank you, public. I was great.

- Oh, aren't they adorable?

- Hey, don't encourage them.

''Mama in her kerchief--''

That's you, Bert.

- I know.

- ''And I in my cap...

had just settled our brains

for a long winter's nap.

When out on the lawn

there arose such a clatter...

I sprang from my bed

to see what was the matter.''

Open the curtain!

Monsters as reindeer?

This is crazy. Where's Santa Claus?

Don't worry, Bert.

We're getting to him.

''With a little old driver

so lively and quick...

I knew in a moment

it must be Saint Nick.''

- Is nothing sacred?

- Now wait a minute!
