no time to buy anything.

You don't have to

buy anything.

I want ya to

do something.

I want you to give me

a second chance.

Dad...

Oh, no, no.

I have done so many

wrong things this year.

When we lost your mother,

I was lost, Farley,

I was lost.

I ran to what I knew best,

I, I, I, went to my work.

And that was unfair.

It's okay.

NO.

It's not okay.

I'm gonna make it okay

though.

From now on,

I promise.

Well I was acting

like a jerk too.

It happens

when you're angry.

And you can't show it,

huh?

I think you were

as lost as I was.

We know what to

do now, huh?

We know

what to do.

Quietly now.

Ready? Oh shoot.

Hope nobody heard that. It's

supposed to be a surprise.

Thank you.

Oh come on, Farley.

Show up.

Hey um, you're here

from TV right?

You recognize me.

Well no, but I see you

have a camera person

and a satellite truck

so I figured.

Are you here for one of those

feel good Christmas Eve stories?

Uh, no. We got a hot tip

that our mystery Santa Claus

might be making

an appearance here tonight.

Cool.

Hey, all right.

This is what, this is what

we're gonna do. Okay.

The Mobius will

be here any minute.

But in the mean time, this

is what we're gonna do.

It was cold enough to freeze

the hot springs in Georgia.

Dashing

through the snow...

What's that?

Carolers.

They sound close enough

to be right out front.

Why don't we go

check it out?

Jingle bells, jingle

bells, jingle all the way

Oh what fun it is to ride

in a one horse open sleigh.

Hey, what is all this?

Where's my ramp?

Steve has an

announcement to make.

Adam, all these dudes,

all these people,

have worked really hard in

order to make this happen.

You know those stairs

that you can't get up?

Yeah.

Well now you'll

be able to.

Adam, look.

See that

awesome chair?

Yeah.

That's for you.

Watch this.

Oh my goodness!

So cool!

There's no sign of Farley

and it's almost midnight.

Maybe you better

call Constance.

Oh, I suppose

I should.

Merry Christmas,

dude.

Merry Christmas,

Farley.

You need him

more than I do.

You mean you're

giving me Kip?

You have to come

and visit all the time!

I will.

I'm proud of you, son.

Your mom would be too.

I love you, Kip.

We wish you

a Merry Christmas!

Ha ha ha ha!

Job security.

Thank you all

so much, everybody!

I don't know what to say

except Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas!

Ho, ho, ho!

Won't you all

stay a while?

Well uh, if Adam shows me

how those new wheels work.

This is so cool!

Thanks so much, Steve.

No problem, buddy,

glad you like it.

You're the best!

Sweetheart.

Thank you all

so much.

Merry Christmas,

ho, ho, ho!

I know it's last minute but, do you

have plans for Christmas dinner?

Well uh, nothing that

can't be cancelled.

Great.

Ho, ho, ho, ho!

Congratulations.

As much as it pains me,

you have quite literally

saved Christmas.

Let me see the footage.

Pulitzer here I come.

NO!!!

Where is it?

Give me that!

On behalf of the board, I

am required to inform you

that your contract

has been renewed.

Inpropretuity.

That means forever

and ever.

I know

what it means.

You seem

disappointed.

When you grow up, you learn

to live with disappointment.

It's the pony.

Please. My entire life

is not defined by

something that did not happen

when I was seven years old.

So you don't want

a white Christmas?

What?

It never snows here.

It did in 1964,

so it can again.

His name is

White Christmas.

I'm sorry

it took so long.

Oh!!!!!

Oh he so beau...

Oooohhhhhh!!!!

Thank you so much!

Oh he's, oh he's so beautiful!

Ooohhh!!!!!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas,

Santa!

Merry Christmas,

everybody!

Oooohhhh.

Oh you're so beautiful.

Oh, I'm so happy!

I always wanted a pony!

Look!

Are you seeing that?

Look!

Ho, ho, ho!

Merry Christmas, ho, ho, ho!

Look, Sweetheart.

Ho, ho, ho!

Merry Christmas!
