I'LL TELL 'EM A STORY.

CHILDREN:

GOOD LUCK.

[CHILDREN CHEER]

HI, BOYS AND GIRLS.

GIRL:

HI, SANTA.

ONCE UPON A TIME,

IN A FAR AND DISTANT LAND,

THERE LIVED A MEAN

AND CRUEL LORD.

AND ONE CHRISTMAS,

THIS MEAN AND CRUEL LORD

WAS THROWING A LAVISH FEAS FOR KINGS AND QUEENS,

WHEN LO AND BEHOLD,

A POOR BEGGAR WAS CAUGH TAKING SCRAPS OF FOOD

FROM HIS KITCHEN.

NOW THIS CRUEL LORD

WAS A MISER,

SO WHAT DID HE DO

BUT HE THREW HIM OUT.

INTO THE COLD,

COLD WINTER NIGHT.

OH!

THIS CAN'T BE GOOD.

BUDDY!

BUT WHAT THE CRUEL LORD

DID NOT KNOW,

WAS THAT THIS WAS

NO ORDINARY BEGGAR.

THIS MAN WAS ACTUALLY

A VERY POWERFUL WIZARD,

AND HE CAST A SPELL

OVER THIS CRUEL LORD.

NOW, UNDER THIS SPELL

THIS CRUEL LORD VANISHED,

AND THEN HE WOULD

REAPPEAR EVERY YEAR,

ONE WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS,

DURING WHICH TIME

HE WAS TO GIVE AWAY

SOME OF HIS TREASURE,

AND SPREAD GLAD TIDINGS

AND GOOD CHEER.

WELL, AS YOU CAN

WELL IMAGINE,

THIS CRUEL LORD GAVE

AND GAVE AND GAVE,

UNTIL A STRANGE THING

BEGAN TO HAPPEN.

HE BEGAN TO SEE THE JOY THA HIS GIVING BROUGHT OTHERS,

AND BIT BY LITTLE BIT,

DESPITE HIMSELF,

HE BEGAN TO LIKE IT.

AND BEFORE TOO LONG

HE BEGAN TO LOVE IT.

AND AS HE DID, THIS SPELL

PASSED FROM A CURSE

TO A BLESSING.

AND THIS ONCE CRUEL LORD

GAVE WITH A GLAD HEART.

IT WAS AT THIS POIN THAT WONDROUS THINGS

STARTED TO HAPPEN.

FOR EXAMPLE,

HE WORRIED THAT HIS BIG BAG

OF GIFTS AND GOLD

WAS NEARING EMPTY,

WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN

IT WOULD FILL:

RIGHT BACK UP AGAIN.

THIS WAS THE POWER

OF THAT SPELL.

AND IT WAS THIS SPELL

THAT WAS PASSED ON FROM

GENERATION TO GENERATION.

FROM FATHER TO SON,

JUST AS IT WAS PASSED

FROM MY FATHER TO ME.

THAT'S HOW I BECAME

SANTA CLAUS.

[WHIMPERING]

OK, SO...

[VOICE BREAKING]

THAT'S THE STORY OF

HOW SANTA CAME TO BE.

AND NOW IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME

AND SANTA'S VERY BUSY

'CAUSE HE'S GO LOTS OF STUFF TO DO.

SO THANKS FOR LISTENING.

GOODBYE, KIDS. BYE-BYE.

BYE.

BYE, SANTA.

BYE, SANTA.

[CHILDREN CHEER]

[BUDDY GRUNTS]

BUDDY, COME ON, MAN,

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

WE GOTTA GET YOU OUT OF HERE

BEFORE PEOPLE SEE YOU.

COME ON.

COME HERE, BUDDY.

COME ON, LET'S GO.

YOU COMING, OR WHAT?

BUDDY--

QUIT PLAYING WITH ME, MAN.

WHERE ARE YOU?

BUDDY!

WHAT IN THE...

[BUDDY GRUNTS]

HOW'D YOU GET IN THERE?

OH!

PHEW, THAT WAS CLOSE.

GOOD JOB GETTING HIM

BACK IN THERE.

I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.

ONE MINUTE I'M STANDING

RIGHT NEXT TO HIM,

AND THEN THE NEXT,

HE'S IN THIS PEN.

REALLY?

YEAH.

UH-OH. YOU THINK

HE JUMPED?

OH, GOOD EGGNOG.

FIRST THEY LEARN TO JUMP,

AND THEN THEY LEARN TO FLY.

WHAT IF HE STARTS FLYING

BEFORE YOU CAN GET HIM OUT?

WHAT IF PEOPLE SEE?

THAT WOULD BE BAD,

HECTOR.

THAT WOULD BE:

VERY, VERY BAD.

HECTOR:
ALL RIGHT,

YOU TRIED CARRYING BUDDY OU TO YOUR MAGIC MIRROR.

YOU TRIED BRINGING

THE MAGIC MIRROR TO HIM.

AND THERE'S THIS WHOLE THING

WITH THE REINDEER COSTUME,

WHICH I WOULD SAY WAS

A BAD IDEA FROM THE GET-GO.

WE NEED A NEW WAY

TO SMUGGLE HIM OUT.

IT'S NEVER GONNA WORK.

I'M NEVER GOING TO BE ABLE

TO SMUGGLE HIM OUT.

HEY!

WAIT!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

YOU CAN'T JUST QUIT.

YOU CAN'T JUST WALK AWAY.

WHAT HAPPENED TO,

"IF BUDDY CAN'T FLY

"THERE'S NO CHRISTMAS"?

AND IF YOU CAN'T FLY...

HELLO?

WORLD OF DISAPPOINTMENT.

HECTOR, I'M NOT GIVING UP.

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I QUIT?

I'M NOT QUITTING.

I'M JUST GONNA CHANGE MY TACTICS

IS WHAT I'M GONNA DO.

I'M GONNA GET SANDY TO HELP US.

THAT'S WHAT I'M GONNA DO.

HOW YOU GONNA DO THAT?

YOU ASK A LOT OF QUESTIONS.

YOW!
