it will bring good luck to you

And that's the way

Fraggle presents work.

I love it!

Oh, Goober, I almost forgot.

I want you to have this pebble.

- So here.

- Wow!

Thank you, Mokie.

Hey, listen, Fraggles, this has all

been great, but we gotta be going.

- What a shame.

- I'll say.

No, wait.

Robin, before you go...

I'd like you to have this pebble.

- Wow!

- Gee! Well, Merry Christmas, Fraggles.

Merry Christmas, frogs!

Bye!

- Gosh, that was fun.

- Yeah.

Well, it's nice to be with friends

at Christmas.

Kermit, we hear shouting outside.

It could be Miss Piggy.

Oh, well, let's go.

Anyone see her out there?

Well, at least the storm

has eased up a bit.

Chef, why don't you make

some hot soup? And Mrs. Bear...

would you put some extra blankets

on a bed?

- Wait a minute. There she is.

- What?

Yeah, and she don't look bad...

for a pig.

Merry Christmas, Kermie.

Am I late?

I don't know how to explain this...

but I was searching through the snow

and suddenly...

there was Miss Piggy

with this costume for me.

You don't have to explain, Doc.

If there's one thing Piggy knows,

it's how to make an entrance.

Hey, everybody, quiet.

My mother has an announcement.

Thank you, Fozzie. I'd like

to welcome you all here.

You are all here, aren't you?

I think so, yeah.

Good, because I'm afraid

we're running out of room.

Two of you will have to sleep

hung on hangers on a hook on the wall.

- What a fabulous idea!

- Love hanger, love hanger.

It's the only way Animal

ever sleeps, ma'am.

See, Mom, I told you it'd be easy.

- They're weirdos, Fozzie.

- Yeah?

- But they're nice weirdos.

- Yeah.

Well, everybody, it's Christmas Eve,

and the tree is trimmed.

So it's time for our annual carol sing.

Take it, Rowlf.

- Happy holiday

- Happy holiday

May the calendar keep bringing

Happy holidays to you

May the merry bells keep ringing

May your every wish come true

Ding, dong, merrily on high

in Heaven the bells are ringing

Ding, dong, verily the sky

is riven with angels singing

Gloria

Hosanna in excelsis

- What's that?

- It's pretty.

- Let's go see, eh?

- Yeah!

I saw three ships come sailing in

On Christmas day

On Christmas day

I saw three ships come sailing in

On Christmas day in the morning

And what was in those ships

all three

On Christmas day

On Christmas day

And what was in those ships all three

On Christmas day in the morning

Good King Wenceslas looked out

on the Feast of Stephen

When the snow lay round about

deep and crisp and even

Brightly shone the moon that night

Though the frost was cruel

When a poor man came in sight

gathering winter fuel

The holly and the ivy

When they are both full grown

Of all the trees

that are in the wood

The holly bears the crown

Oh, the rising of the sun

And the running of the deer

The playing of the merry organ

Sweet singing in the choir

I'll be home for Christmas

You can count on me

You'll have snow

And mistletoe

And presents on the tree

Happy holidays

May the calendar keep bringing

Happy holidays to you

Caroling, caroling now we go

Christmas bells are ringing

Caroling, caroling through the snow

Christmas bells are ringing

joyous voices sweet and clear

sing the sad of heart to cheer

Ding, dong, ding, dong

Christmas bells are ringing

Caroling, caroling near and far

Following, following yonder star

Mighty well the song we sing

Gladsome tidings now we bring

Christmas bells are ringing

It's in every

One of us

To be wise

Find your heart

Open up both

Your eyes

We can all know

Everything

Without ever knowing why

It's in every

One of us

By and by

Old friends, new friends

Home with the family

We'll be together at Christmas

Snowflakes, sleigh bells

Bringing back memories

We'll be together at Christmas

Some things change

With passing years

Let this feeling stay

Old friends, new friends

Hoping we'll always be

Here with each other

Together on Christmas

Day

You know, Miss Piggy, I think

it's time I gave you your present.

Oh, really? Tell me, what is it,

what is it?

Well, your present is

a mink.

- A mink!

- A mink.

I've always wanted it.

Where is it?

Maurine.

Hi, I'm Maurine, the mink.

- What?

- She said, ''Hi, I'm Maurine, the mink.''

I heard her, I heard her.

- Well, this is the mink? My mink?

- Of course.

Oh, Miss Piggy,

I've seen everything you've done.

I'm your biggest fan.

I worship the ground you walk on.

What a wonderful present.

Speaking of presents, Grover...

I'd like you to have

this Fraggle pebble.

This Fraggle pebble here

is for me?

Oh, I just love Christmas.

Ho, ho, ho!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

and a happy new year

They certainly seem to be having

a good time out there, Sprocket.

Yeah, I like it when

they have a good time.

But I'll tell you what. Somebody's

gotta do something about these dishes.

Come on.

I'll wash and you dry. Okay?

Good tidings to you

wherever you are

We wish you a merry Christmas

and a happy new year

- Look up, dear.

- Uh-oh, mistletoe.

Merry Christmas, Kermie.

Merry Christmas, Piggy.

Merry Christmas, everyone!
