and soon will be here
good tidings we bring
to you and your kin
- A piano.
- Whoa.
- Oh, and look
at all these presents.
The lights,
with all the decorations.
We all know that
Santa's coming
and soon will be here
good tidings we bring
to you and your kin
good tidings for Christmas
and a happy new year
- Whoa!
- hey.
- It's blocking the merchandise.
- Get rid of it.
- Yeah, boss.
- That's teanna,
or as I call her, Cruella.
The shop hired her
to fix things.
Apparently, she's like this
new, young marketing genius.
- Let's go upstairs.
- Whoa.
- I love this store, Angie.
- Wanna go see toys?
- Yeah!
- And this is my department.
- Look, it's Santa.
- Wait here, I'm gonna
go clock in.
- Okay.
- hello there, young lady.
Come on up.
And what can we do for you?
Merry Christmas!
- What's that over there?
Look.
That's awesome.
Thank you, Santa.
- There you go.
- I told Santa my wish list,
but I'm still sending him
a letter.
Oh, and don't worry,
he said he knows
what your wish is.
- Oh, he did, did he?
Where is Angie?
- All right, have fun
looking around.
Is there something
I can help you with?
- Oh, no, that's okay.
I'm just looking for my friend.
She was gonna take me
to human resources
to help me get a holiday job.
- Great.
We can always use
extra hands at Christmas.
- Oh, you work here?
- You could say that.
- I'm Tom.
- Oh, I'm Wendy.
- And I'm Grace.
- It is nice to meet you, Grace.
Is this your mom?
- Isn't she pretty?
- Okay...
So do you have any
retail sales experience?
- Yes. I've been running
my dad's shop back at home
for the last five years,
but it's nothing like this.
This place is amazing
with the decorations
and the music.
Hey, how did they do
that thing with the snow
in the front window?
- Some kind of massive fan,
I think.
Uh, so can you start right away?
- Excuse me?
- Mr. wolman.
- Hi, Angie.
- Hi.
- wolman?
As in wolman wolman?
- Tom gave mommy a job.
- That's great.
- It's great for us.
It's not every day
we get someone as enthusiastic
as Wendy is.
Since you guys know each other,
why don't you start working
here in the toy department.
- Now?
- If you can. We have a day care
if you need it.
- Yes, I can start today,
and yes, I need day care.
Thank you, Mr. wolman.
- Thank you.
Angie, do you mind
showing her h.R.
So she can get started
on paperwork?
Oh, and show her day care
on the way.
- Absolutely. thanks.
- Measure her.
- Yeah, boss.
- Measure her?
- We're gonna have to
completely restock
all of these toys.
I need the highest-priced toys
to be
on the children's eye level...
- 52.
- And the cheapest to be
far above and below.
- Teanna, we always
stock the shelves
so the kids have access
to the most popular toys,
not the most expensive.
- And you wonder why
the board hired me
to increase sales.
- Mommy, is she a witch?
- No. shh!
- What are you all gaping at?
Get to work!
I'll see you
at our meeting later.
- Bruno!
- huh?
Hey, kid. Here, catch this.
- Huh?
- boss, comin'.
- Excuse me.
- Let's go to day care.
- I'll show you where it is.
- Come on, baby.
- Ooh!
- Wow. this is awesome.
Okay, listen, I will be
right upstairs if you need me,
and we can even
have lunch together.
- Look, mommy,
our very own Christmas tree.
And we get to make
popcorn garlands.
- Yeah. bye.
I love you.
- I love you too, mommy.
- Okay.
- You have your nametag.
- Yep.
- All right,
you'll have two breaks
and a lunch hour,
and there's a fridge
and a microwave
in the employee room
if you need it.
- This place is legit.
- It really is.
We're really lucky.
of his employees.
We even get a Christmas bonus.
- Wait, I get a Christmas bonus?
Mm-hmm.
- No, I'm only planning
on being here
until Christmas, though.
- Yeah, well, everyone gets one.
It's like their gift
to all the employees
who work at the store.
- That is amazing.
- Last year, I was able
to send my mom to the spa
for her birthday because of it.
- Oh, believe me, I heard
all about the spa trip.
- I'm a mama's girl.
- Yeah, you are.
- Seriously, this is the most
family-oriented place
you'll ever want to work.
They even support my
musical theater career.
- How?
- you'll see.
- Wait.
- Let's go stock some shelves.
- Okay.
- And I'll teach you how
to work the register, okay?
- Okay.
- Toyland
toyland
little girl and boy land
while you dwell within it
you are ever happy then
childhood's joy land
mystic merry joy land
once you pass its borders
you...
- Ugh. This is awful.
We need better music.
- Never be the same again
- Whoo!
- Thank you. Mwah!
- You want to show me something?
Okay...
This is the one you want, right?
- Yeah.
- okay.
- Whoa!
- oh!
- Oh, my gosh. I almost fell.
- Don't want to have
to fill out an incident report
on your first day.
- Thank you, Mr. wolman.
- Please, it's Tom.
- Tom.
- I'll see you soon.
- Okay.
Here you go, buddy.
Merry Chris... aw.
Merry Christmas.
- You gotta get with it,
you gotta get with it
you gotta get with it
hunky Santa
you gotta get with it,
you gotta get with it
you gotta get with it
hunky Santa
you wanna be cool
with the kids at school?
- Nice.
- Hunky Santa will be
in the store
you gotta get with it
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
That is not like any
Christmas Carol
I have ever known!
Oh, we have
our very own Wendy carroll
right here in the store
right now.
- That's right.
- Nick.
- Oh.
- It's a pleasure.
This is a shame.
Lately, people have forgotten
that Christmas is not
about getting,
it's about giving.
Last year, I barely kept
the spirit alive
when I was visiting
a store in Canada.
- Oh, so you work in other
stores besides this one?
- I like to spread the joy
somewhere different every year.
Last year, I was in Vancouver.
The year before that,
I was in Moscow.
- Oh, wow, Moscow?
- I know! I know!
It was cold. So cold!
Colder than the north pole,
I'll tell you.
Oh, my, I... I'd better get back.
- Oh.
- I am so glad that you
still have the spirit, Wendy.
- Hi, Santa.
- Excuse me.
Merry Christmas, kids.
- Are you sure about teanna,
uncle Harry?
Have you seen her, and that
Minion she always has with her?
I know she's supposed to be
some marketing whiz kid,
and I'd be happy if she could
turn things around,
it's just... she walks around
like she owns the place.
- Wasn't my decision
to hire her.
The board insisted.
We have to give them something.
Let's just see what she brings.
Have no fear, teanna's here.
- Teanna, I have some concerns.
- Put all of your worries
to rest.
Although my reputation
speaks for itself.
Now, I've already started
to implement
phase one of my plan.
But phase two,
which I like to call
trimming the fat, I propose
we scrap the employee
Christmas bonuses.
- Excuse me?
My uncle is not
ebenezer scrooge.
This is a family company,
