He was born in the hay

Danger danger in the manger

Don't give baby to a stranger

Nasty Herod on his way,

hide the baby in the hay

Don't be a sheep, just be a King

You want your big Christmas Day

You want your Santa and sleigh

But don't forget about the baby

who was born in the hay

He was born in the hay

He was born in the hay

He was born in the...

He was born in the hay

I've got it! I've got it!

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

- Yay! Oh, baby!

- You were amazing!

- Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

- All right.

Brilliant, wasn't it!

For the last few hours, we've been

trying to find you, you stupid boy.

We did an encore.

I don't know if you saw that, big man.

- But we did an encore out there.

- Who is this village idiot?

This is Mr Poppy,

and he's the one who wrote the song.

Oh, really?

Is that what you call it?

Which one? The first or the second?

Cos we did two.

Yeah, we did...

We're still going to

win the competition.

You know what?

Oh, I'm sure you are gonna win.

And I hope you take the prize

and I hope you shove it up your nose!

We went out there and had fun!

And that might not be important to you,

Roderick,

and it might not add up to all your OBEs,

and all your reviews in newspapers,

and all your international prizes,

but having fun

is pretty blooming important!

There is no need to be so

patronising to your brother.

Shut up!

How dare you speak

to your father like that?!

I dare! I dare to tell you to shut up!

And you!

- Both of you.

- Can I have a go?

- Yeah, go on.

- Shut up!

- And you shut up.

- I don't need you any more.

I've got a proper family now.

Look. And a baby on the way.

This is my family.

Yeah. Yeah.

And he's my family.

This... This stupid, crazy man

dressed like a star

who talks nonsense

and drives buses that swim

and gets us

stranded on mountains

and nearly drowns me in a river.

He, in one day, has been more of

a brother to me than you have ever been!

Can you please keep your voices down!

Oh, you can shut up, too!

Roderick, what's going on here?

Angel, you'll have to call security.

They have been disqualified

and are refusing to leave.

- Right, right. Rhys, Rhys.

- No! No!

Jahh!

Don't bother calling security.

We're leaving, very happily,

with dignity and our heads held high.

Good night, good luck,

merry Christmas,

thank you very much.

As of now, you are officially banned

from the building.

If you are found,

you will be arrested.

Get out of the way!

Can I just say

lam a huge fan of your work.

- Can I get an autograph?

- Go on, then. Have you got a pen?

- Have you got a pen?

- Poppy!

I can post it.

Cheer up, it's Christmas!

I'm gonna need a jab.

OK, so what an evening it's been,

ladies and gentlemen.

What an evening.

But now the moment of truth.

It's make-your-mind-up-time,

judges.

So while they come to the final -

and what some people feel

foregone - conclusion,

I'd like to share something with you.

Tonight, something very special

has happened here on the stage...

...and something very special

has happened here... in my heart.

And that's the spirit of Christmas.

We love you, Angel!

O, holy night

The stars are brightly shining...

- Oh!

- You all right?

- No, it's another one.

- Really?

Yes.

Here we go.

Good donkey. Good donkey.

That's it.

In sin and error pining

Till he appeared

And the soul felt its worth

- A thrill of hope...

- Follow me, everybody!

The weary world rejoices

As yonder breaks...

- Look! A barn.

A new and glorious morn

Fall on your knees

Breathe.

Oh, hear the angel voices

Oh, night

Divine...

Go on! Get in there!

- Roll the sleeves up!

- I can't do this.

Watch off.

- I'm going in.

- No.

- Fine.

- No, you're not. Get back here.

Divine

Oh, night...

- One, two, three...

Push! That's it!

Oh, here it comes. Here it comes.

Of faith serenely beaming

With glowing hearts

by his cradle we stand

O'er the world

A star is sweetly gleaming...

- What's wrong?

- Something's happening.

Now come the wise men

From out the Orient land...

- The baby's nearly there. Come on.

- OK.

Come on, you can do it.

I believe in you.

Lay thus lowly manger

In all our trials

Born to be our friends

- Oh!

He knows our need...

There's your mummy.

Our weakness is no stranger

O, night divine

The night when Christ was born

O, night...

Two of them?

The night...

- Come on in, Granddad.

This is amazing. Amazing.

Look, here's your granddad.

I'm really proud of you, Donald.

Really proud.

And now comes the moment

we've all been waiting for -

to crown the winners...

...of A Song For Christmas.

Rhys, I'm so excited.

I can't wait.

Right, thank you.

And...

.. the winners are...

St Cuth...

Oakmoor!

That's right?

Right, Oakmoor,

ladies and gentlemen.

Get out of the way!

- It wasn't even our song, sir.

- Shh. It doesn't matter.

Shut up. We've won. Yay!

I've won.

Yes!

I've won!

I've won! Whoo!

And so, on that magical night,

under the stars,

in a tumbledown barn,

the miracle of Christmas happened to me.

And, just as I'd hoped,

it really was the best Christmas ever.

Peace falls over the valley

Hearts are lifted with love

Joy falls into our lives

like a star from above in the valley

Everybody all over the world

Are you feeling this feeling tonight?

- Roddy.

Donald.

Well, it seems

congratulations are in order.

Yeah. Thank you.

And you're an uncle.

Yes. Yes, I am.

Twin boys.

Let's hope they get on a little better

than we've managed.

Yeah.

It would be nice...

...if perhaps we could get the family

together a little more often.

Yeah. I'd like that.

Mm.

Good.

Joy falls into our lives and makes

everything right in this valley

Everybody all over the world...

Thanks.

Merry Christmas.

It's all right if

the snow's coming down

And the blizzards engulf every town

Cos it's cold outside

But Hawaii in my heart this Christmas

This Christmas

It's all right if the snow

starts to fall

And the chill wind descends on us all

Cos it's cold outside

But Hawaii in my heart this Christmas

This Christmas

It's cold outside

But Hawaii in my heart tonight

Merry Christmas.

When Santa got stuck

up the chimney

Sorry. Who is it getting

stuck up there? Shnamna?

- Santa.

- Santa! Go on, then. Sing it.

When Santa got stuck

up the chimney

It's got... We're missing it, aren't we?

Oh, silent night

Holy night...

- Stop it there.

Yes, it's pathetic... in a very good way.

Um, Pixie,

what's your Christmas wish, Pixie?

I wish that it would be Christmas

every day.

I'm a little snowflake

We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

You can go and sit down.

Why did the dog sit by the fire?

I don't know.

Why did the dog sit by the fire?

Because he wanted to be a hot dog.

I want you to be an elf.

Think of an elf. Picture that elf.

And then dance as that elf.

Ding-dong merrily on high

In heaven the bells are ringing

Why... on...

Why did the cow cross the road?
