A Muppet Family Christmas Page #3

Now, who let the two-headed monster

be Santa Claus?

But he said he'd never been

in a play before.

I mean, they said it.

Both of him said it.

Please go to the big finish,

will you?

''But I heard him exclaim

ere he drove out of sight--''

Merry Christmas to all

and to all a good night.

Merry Christmas to all

and to all a good night.

- Close the curtain!

- Thank you.

Sorry to break up your fun in here,

but have you folks seen the weather?

There's a real storm out there.

Lordy, I haven't seen a sky like that

since the blizzard of'41 .

I tell you, Mr. Lizard,

it's a good thing all your friends...

are safe and warm

inside the farmhouse.

Yeah, but all my friends

are not safe and warm.

Sorry to hear that it's cold enough

out there to freeze your Winnebago.

I've finished my shopping.

Unfortunately,Jerome got the limo

stuck in the snowbank...

so I'll have to catch a taxi

to the farmhouse.

Listen, Piggy,

there's a terrible storm outside...

and I really think it's too dangerous

to travel.

So why don't you and wait for the storm

to end before you join us?

Nonsense. And miss

Christmas eve with vous?

It's just a little bit of snow.

See you soon. Bye-bye.

Yo, taxi!

I'm sure Miss Piggy

will be all right.

Kermit, you look worried.

I know exactly what you need.

- Comedy. Yeah, come on.

- What?

Now's the time for you to meet

my new partner.

- Who's your new partner?

- A snowman.

- The heck you say.

- Yeah. Come outside. We'll do our act.

Outside?

Fozzie, it's too cold to go outside.

- It's not cold.

- It is cold.

Can I come in and warm up?

Okay, so it's cold.

I'm Kermit the Frog.

You must be Fozzie's new partner.

- I'll say, We're terrific.

- Yeah, yeah, come on.

You are coming in a snowman,

but you are going out a star.

Hey, everybody, would you like to see

our new act?

- We'd love to see your act.

- In fact, we'd hate to miss your act.

In fact, we'd love to hate your act.

Statler, Waldorf,

where'd you guys come from?

They're friends of mine, Fozzie.

They come visit me every Christmas.

My mother is friends with you guys?

These two comics are made

for each other.

The snowman is ice cold,

and the bear's not so hot.

Oh, please.

After all, there's no business

like snow business.

Come on, ignore them.

Do the straight line. Here we go.

- Okay. Hey, Fozzie.

- Yes, Mr. Snowman?

Did you hear about the church

that burned down?

Holy smoke!

That was our best joke.

That does it, Fozzie.

Forget the act.

I'm starting to melt.

It's too hot in here.

Well, you know what they say.

If you can't stand the heat,

get out of the farmhouse.

Come on, you'll be okay

on the back porch.

Boy, that storm

is really getting worse.

Yeah, I hope Miss Piggy is okay.

There is one worried frog.

That's one.

One worried frog.

He's not the only one.

That's two.

Two worried frogs.

Search me.

More small talk, I think.

Hey, I'd better go out

and get some firewood.

Hi there.

Did you wish to talk to me

about something, Mr. Cook, sir?

Gee, nice kitchen.

Hey, are you gonna have

cranberry sauce and mashed potatoes?

Oh, boy.

I just want to hear

about the whole meal.

But first, I want to give

this little present to you.

It's chocolate-covered birdseed.

I made it myself.

I wanted to give it to you

because, well...

I know that you're from Sweden

and it must be hard for you...

because you're away from your family

and loved ones during the holidays.

At Christmas, there are

places and people and things...

that become very, very special.

Chestnuts roasting

on an open fire

jack Frost nipping at your nose

Everybody knows

a turkey and some mistletoe

Though it's been said

many times, many ways

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas

To you

Now there, Mr. Cook, tell me...

exactly what are you going to fix

for Christmas dinner?

Shredded wheat

and cranberry sauce?

My absolute favorite.

Going to be lots of snow

for me to shovel tomorrow.

It's getting worse and worse

out there.

Aren't you glad you're in here

all warm and toasty?

I just wish Miss Piggy were.

Okay, when I yell, ''Three,''

gun it!

One, two, three!

You're really worried

about your friend, aren't you?

Hmm? Oh, well, yeah, a little.

I'll tell you what.

I'll go out looking for her.

Really? But you've never

even met Miss Piggy.

We never met any of you

until a little while ago.

And now we're friends.

See, Sprockey and I were gonna spend

Christmas alone, but this is better!

Now, what's your friend look like?

Well, to begin with,

she's a pig.

Well, up to a short while ago,

I would have thought that strange.

- I'll give it a try.

- Gee, thanks, Doc.

You'll be sorry. It's cold enough

to freeze your Winnebago.

What a sweet guy.

Uncle Kermit!

- Robin? Where are you?

- In the cellar.

- What are you doing down there?

- I made a discovery.

Oh, yeah?

What are you talking about?

Remember telling me

about Fraggle holes?

Yeah, so?

And how if I ever found one,

we could go into Fraggle Rock...

and maybe meet some Fraggles?

- So?

- Is that one?

Look at that.

Well, it certainly looks like one.

You never know where you're going

to find these things.

Can we go in, Uncle Kermit?

Well, maybe just a little ways,

see if we can meet anyone.

Watch your step, Robin.

Gee, it's kind of scary.

These are beautiful caves.

Hey, Uncle Kermit, wait up.

Do you think this is really

Fraggle Rock?

If I were a Fraggle, I think this is

the kind of place I'd hang out.

Wait a second.

I thought I heard something.

Guess not.

Well, anyhow.

Well, hi there.

- Hi yourself.

- You're Fraggles.

- I'll say.

- But you're not.

- I'll say.

- No, I'm Kermit. This is Robin.

We're frogs.

- What's a frog?

- They're frogs.

I'll say.

Don't touch them. Frogs are

probably noted germ carriers.

Actually, we just came down here

to wish you all a merry Christmas.

- Thank you.

- That's nice.

- What's Christmas?

- Yeah.

- Don't you have Christmas?

- No.

That's when you gather together

with the people you love...

and you wish each other

peace on earth.

We have a time like that.

Yes, we do. As a matter of fact,

we're celebrating it right now.

You see, we give each other

little presents.

I'm giving Goober

this nice yellow pebble.

And I gave Mokie

that pebble last year.

And I gave it to Red

the year before that.

And I gave it to you, Wembley,

the year before that.

That pebble's been a gift 37 times.

- Thirty-seven times?

- Yeah.

Pass it on

When it's nice and bright

and it brings delight

Let your heart choose right

Gotta pass it on

When it feels real good

like a feeling should

When it's understood

Gotta pass it on

When you're giving love away

love will come again to stay

What you give is what you gain

when you pass it on

When I give a gift to you

I know you're gonna give it too

That's why giving's what we do

as we pass it on

Pass it on

Wish upon all the good things

that you do

When it's gone
