as grown up as you'd hope.

But what children teach them is love.

Come on.

- It's time.

- Yes.

- Quick, Santa, go!

- Yes, yes.

Flick the reins

and fly away?

Can I have your license

and registration documents, please?

Yes, Harry,

whilst this all looks very convincing,

the outfit and the sleigh,

the part that doesn't stack up

is why would anyone,

least of all Santa Claus,

turn to Steve Anderson for help?

It's a fair point.

I came to Steve

because he sees things through.

Oh, he's known

for his diligence.

Steve saw me when he was a child.

I'd given him a Rubik's cube.

He still hasn't managed to solve it

to this day,

but unlike nearly every other child

in the world,

he hasn't cheated

and he hasn't given up trying.

Thank you for all your kind words,

but I really think it's time you got going.

Oh, no. You're all under arrest.

You don't have to say anything

but it may harm your defence

if you do not mention when questioned

something which you later

rely on in court.

In that case, I'd like to say something.

Let it be known, for the record,

that Steve and Thomas Anderson

have saved Christmas

for the world entire.

You can't take that away from them,

even if you can take away

their freedom.

Don't worry.

Sometimes adults find it hard to accept

the magic of Christmas.

But when they experience it

with their own eyes,

even the coldest of hearts warm.

She won't send you back to prison.

Sit back in your seat. Hold tight.

Thank you, both.

No, thank you.

Merry Christmas to you all.

- Merry Christmas.

- Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

It "Bah, humbug!" No, that's too strong

#Cos it is my favourite holiday

# But all this year's been a busy blur

# Don't think I have the energy

# To add to my already mad rush

#Just cos it's '"tis the season"

#The perfect gift for me would be

# Completions and connections

left from

# Last year, ski shop

#Encounter, most interesting

# Had his number but never the time

#Most of '81 passed along those lines

#So deck those halls, trim those trees

# Raise up cups of Christmas cheer

#I just need to catch my breath

#Christmas by myself this year

#Calendar picture, frozen landscape

# Chilled this room for 24 days

#Evergreens, sparkling snow

# Get this winter over with

# Flashback to springtime,

saw him again

#Would've been good to go for lunch

#Couldn't agree

when we were both free

#We tried, we said we'd keep in touch

# Didn't, of course, till summertime

# Out to the beach to his boat,

could I join him?

# No, this time it was me

#Sunburn in the third degree

# Now the calendar's just one page

#And of course I am excited

# Tonight's the night

but I've set my mind

#Not to do too much about it

#Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas

#But I think I'll miss this one this year

#Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas

#It Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas

#But I think I'll miss this one this year

#"A and P" has provided me

#With the world's smallest turkey

# Already in the oven, nice and hot

#Oh, damn! Guess what I forgot?

# So on with the boots,

back out in the snow

# To the only all-night grocery

# When what to my wondering eyes

should appear

# In the line is that guy

I've been chasing all year

#"I'm spending this one alone, he said

# "Need a break,

this year's been crazy"

# I said, "Me too, but why are you?

# "You mean

you forgot cranberries too?"

# Then suddenly

we laughed and laughed

#Caught on to what was happening

# That Christmas magic's

brought this tale

# To a very happy ending!

#Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas

#Couldn't miss this one this year

#Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas

#Couldn't miss this one this year

#Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas

#Couldn't miss this one this year

#Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas

#Couldn't miss this one this year

#Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas

#Couldn't miss this one this year

#Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas

#Couldn't miss this one this year

#Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas

#Couldn't miss this one this year

#Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas

#Couldn't miss this one this year #
