That's right.

Now, there you are.

Dear Lord, please bless

my mother and me...

and Loop

and all of the aviators...

and Mr. and Mrs. Higgins...

and Mr. and Mrs. Smythe

and Mr. Smith-

Do I have to ask him

to bless Joy, too?

Yes, dear.

And bless Joy, too...

and make her a good girl.

- Mother.

- What, dear?

On account of

this is Christmas Eve...

do you think

it will be all right...

if I ask something special?

I'm sure it will.

Dear Lord,

please see my daddy...

and wish him a merry Christmas

from my mother and me...

and tell him we love him...

forever and ever. Amen.

Mother, do you think he will?

I think on this night

of all nights...

God will listen to

the prayer of a child.

Don't cry, Mother.

I get lonesome for him

sometimes, darling.

Don't be lonesome, mother.

You have me.

Yes, my own sweet baby.

And we're together...

and tomorrow's Christmas

and everything.

And it'll be a merry

Christmas, won't it?

The merriest we've ever had.

The very, very merriest.

All right.

Beddy-bye.

In you go.

1, 2, 3!

There you are-

nice and comfy.

Tell me again about

the first Christmas.

All right.

A long, long time ago...

three travelers came to an inn.

And they needed

food and shelter.

Yes, but there was no room

for them in the inn.

And the only place

they could find to sleep...

was in the stable.

In the straw... with the cows.

And there was born that night...

a little baby boy.

Isn't it beautiful, dear?

Merry Christmas, Uncle Ned.

Ohhh...

Oh, look, darling.

Look, darling. Isn't she nice?

I don't want any old doll!

I wanted a wheelchair like his!

Little girls don't

have wheelchairs...

but you have lots of other

nice things to play with.

I don't want

anything else!

I want a wheelchair!

Ohh...

Look, Mrs. Higgins!

Look what Santy Claus

brought me!

Oh, my! My!

Isn't she pretty?

What's her name?

Her name is Mary Lou...

and Santy Claus brought me...

a little man that dances

when you wind him up...

and a ball and some candy...

and a sewing kit...

with real scissors, a needle,

and everything!

Santa Claus was

certainly good to you.

He certainly was.

I got every single

thing I asked for.

I'm pretty lucky, all right.

All right, honey.

Roy's outside waiting for you.

Now, you run along

and see Loop...

and mother will be down

just as soon as she can.

Run along, dear.

Are you gonna take Mary Lou

to the airport with you?

Do you think maybe

she's too young?

Perhaps you'd better

leave her here.

All right. Take good care

of her while I'm away.

I certainly will, darling.

Hello, honey.

Hello.

Up you go.

You hurry down, Mother!

All right!

Hello, honey.

Hello, Thomas.

That plane flew all the

way across this country...

since yesterday afternoon.

And it made a 3-point landing, too.

That's right, honey.

Now, you stay here with Thomas.

I'll be right back.

Check your baggage right inside.

Hiya, Paul. We're expecting

you at the club, you know.

Swell, Loop. I'll be there.

Everything all set?

Miss Martin?

- Yes?

- I'm Thomas, the Smythe chauffeur.

I was sent to meet you.

Oh, yes. Take care

of my bags, will you?

Yes, ma'am.

You wait here, dear.

I know who you are.

You do?

Sure. You're the lady...

who's coming to live

at our house.

Well, you're not

littleJoy, are you?

Oh, no. I'm Shirley.

Ha ha ha!

Oh, I see.

Come on, honey.

Loop.

How are you, Miss Martin?

Isn't she the lady...

whose picture you have

in your book?

Yeah. She's one of them.

You see that?

That's all for you.

For me?

- Surprise, honey!

- Surprise!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Oh, my!

Do you like her?

Oh, my goodness!

Ha ha ha!

You'll have to give

her a name, Shirley.

What are you

going to call her?

Her name is going to be...

I know- Loopy!

Ha ha ha!

That's a swell name, honey.

I'll meet you, Loop,

uh... you know.

Let's go, gang.

Now I've got

a present for you.

This isn't from Santa Claus.

This is from me to you.

That's a magic ring, see?

ZJust like they have

in the fairy tales.

Now, if ever

you're in trouble...

or ever you want me

to do anything for you...

you send me this ring,

and I'll come.

It's pretty. Thanks, Loop.

How much do you love me?

Is that all?

- Mmhh!

- Ha ha ha!

I wish Mother

would hurry...

so she could see all I got.

She'll be here.

We're just beginning.

I do wish that man

from the bakery...

would get here

with the cake.

He's sure to be here

in a few minutes.

I don't want to miss

any of the party.

No, of course you don't.

Mary, where's your little girl?

She's gone to a Christmas party.

I don't believe in Christmas.

You don't?

No. It's a lot of nonsense.

Well, I don't feel

that way about it.

Well, I do!

Here-

Buy a Christmas present

for Shirley from me.

Christmas! Ugh!

Now, what do

you make of that?

He never fooled me.

He's only tough

on the outside.

Inside he's soft as mush.

How 'bout it, Loop?

I wanted to wait

for Mrs. Blake...

but I guess

we better get going.

When she comes,

give me the flag...

so I can stop

and take her on.

OK, Loop.

What are we going to do?

I've got it all fixed...

for you to have your party

in the big ship.

Are we going to go up?

No, but we're gonna taxi

all over the field.

Won't that be swell?

Oh, boy!

Come on.

We want Shirley!

We want Shirley!

We want Shirley!

Have a good time, Shirley.

- Yay!

- Yay!

Surprise!

Surprise!

Hi, Shirley.

OK, Loop.

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

Turn on the radio, Bill.

If I close my eyes...

I can make believe

I'm really flying.

Now I'm way, way up.

I wish mother was here.

This is the candyland hour...

for all good children.

The orchestra will play

our theme song.

You know that song,

don't you?

- Sure, I do.

- Well, then sing it. Come on.

Come on, Shirley, sing it.

? I've thrown away my toys?

? Even my drum and trains?

? I want to make some noise?

? With real-life aeroplanes?

? Someday I'm going to fly?

? I'll be a pilot, too?

? And when I do?

? How would you?

? Like to be my crew??

? On the good ship Lollipop

? It's a sweet trip to a candy shop?

? Where bonbons play?

? On the sunny beach of Peppermint Bay?

? Lemonade stands everywhere?

? CrackerJack bands fill the air?

? And there you are?

? Happy landing on a chocolate bar?

? See the sugar bowl do the Tootsie Roll?

? With the big bad

devil's food cake?

? If you eat too much?

Ooh! Ooh!

? You'll awake with a tummy ache?

? On the good ship Lollipop

? It's a night trip,

into bed you hop?

? And dream away?

? On the good ship Lollipop

? On the good ship Lollipop

? It's a sweet trip to a candy shop?
