Winnie the Pooh: A Very Merry Pooh Year Page #3

---

Oh, Pooh.

What a pal! What a friend!

What a bear and a half!

While you're there,

could you put in a good word

-with the big guy in red for me?

-[SNIFFLING] Goodbye, Pooh.

Goodbye, everyone.

And Merry Christmas.

Please, come back!

I'm supposed to take you to Santa!

Oh, boy, this Christmas

is gonna go down in history.

Yes, as the first one

we've spent without Pooh.

But think of all

the neat stuff we're gettin'.

[SNIFFLING]

Oh, come on, Piglet, old pal.

Look at us. We're happy.

Where's your Christmas spirit?

What's Christmas if your best friend

isn't here to share it?

I don't even know what present I wanted,

but I'd give it up to

have Pooh Bear here.

- You know, so would I.

-Me, too.

If only... If only we had him back.

POOH:
Hello! Hello!

Pooh Bear! Hooray!

Oh, my, oh, my, oh, my, you're back!

Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

Hooray.

How wonderful.

But I didn't get the letter

to the North Pole.

You aren't going to get any presents.

As long as we've got you,

we don't need any presents.

[BELLS JINGLING]

If that's another one of them

phony Sandys, I'm gonna nail him.

Merry Christmas!

Look what Santa left for you.

[LAUGHING] Here you go.

Look! A flyswatter.

Just what I've always wanted.

[CACKLING]

Wait till those bugs see this.

Hey, I can bounce on the snow!

Look at me! No hands!

Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

It works.

Didn't expect it to, but I'm kinda glad.

Oh, my! I don't know what it is,

but I think it's wonderful.

Aren't you gonna open

your present, Pooh?

But I forgot to ask for what I wanted,

and then I went to get the letter back.

And then I never did get it

to the North Pole, and then I, well...

Christopher Robin, I don't deserve this.

I don't deserve anything.

But Pooh, Santa brought it for you.

Which was awfully nice, but, you know,

I think being with

your friends is nicer.

Though this would be the perfect...

The perfect what?

The perfect

Merry Christmas height for this.

Silly old bear.

[CHUCKLING] And so you see, Roo,

everything turned out wonderfully.

[YAWNING]

What a great story.

I just love a happy ending.

That's the special thing

about the holidays, dear.

Our memories are

the real gift of Christmas.

Excuse me. Did someone mention gifts?

Yay!

Let me help you there, Pooh boy.

I'll be Santa Pooh's little helper.

This one's for you,

and this one is for you.

And this one's for you, and this one is...

Hold on there.

- This one's for me. Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

-Why, Piglet,

[GASPS] you shouldn't have.

- Oh, I just love it!

-Wow!

Merry Christmas Eve to one and all!

MAN:
And, as it so often happens

following Christmas Eve,

the next morning was Christmas.

Yippee!

MAN:
Everyone went out

to share their new treasures

and celebrate the joy

of Christmas together.

- Thanks for the sled, Tigger!

-Glad you like it, Roo boy!

Whoo!

[LAUGHS] This is fun!

[LAUGHS] oh!

Yes, it's wonderful! Snow!

Yee-ha!

Snow snows on my eyes

My ears, my toes

I suppose it even froze my nose

Snowflake melting like a honey cake

Snow drop One, two, three, ker-plop

Snow snows on my eyes

My ears, my toes

I suppose it even froze my nose

All right!

[ALL LAUGHING]

Well, when you two decide

to warm up a bit,

we'll have a nice toasty fire for you.

Okay, Eeyore, you take

this load back now,

and I'll continue to gather.

Don't dawdle.

Now this is what I call holiday fun.

- TIGGER:
How you doin', donkey boy?

-[BELLS JINGLING]

Oh, no.

It's Tigger and those dreaded bells.

Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

[GASPS] Phew!

That was a close one. Tigger has

just lost control with those bells.

Who we hidin' from, Rah-Rah?

[GASPING]

Why me?

Ooh! Don't tell me you're losin'

the holiday spirit already, Long Ears?

- No, no.

-Good.

'Cause I know just what you need.

It's jingly bells!

Jingly bells, jingly bells

What a joy to see

A million zillion jingly bells

beneath my Christmas tree, hey

Jingly bells, jingly bells

Sing along and see

How much fun the bells can be

when you ding-a-ling with me

Give me those bells!

You know what?

I think having these bells

will help my holiday spirit.

That's the spirit, Rabbit. Just take

those bells and have a great time!

- Don't forget to shake 'em!

-Oh, don't worry. I will.

I will.

Ooh...

Matching breakfast, lunch and dinner

honey pots. How did you know?

What a wonderful gift.

Thank you, my very dear friend, Piglet.

[CHUCKLES] Oh...

You're very welcome, Pooh.

[SMACKING]

And, um...

How did you like my gift to you?

Well, Pooh, this particular Christmas,

you didn't give me a gift.

[CHUCKLES] Mmm...

You're welcome... I didn't?

Now how could that be?

Perhaps you forgot?

How could I ever forget

something as important as...

[GASPS] Your Christmas present!

Oh, um...

Wait right here, Piglet.

[STUTTERING] Well, all right, Pooh.

But it's really...

MAN:
Pooh looked and looked

for Piglet's present.

He looked and he looked,

and he looked again.

And when he wasn't looking,

he searched instead.

But, alas, for poor Pooh,

everywhere he looked and searched

was still somewhere where it wasn't.

Pooh looked from Christmas Day

all the way to New Year's Eve,

until he quite forgot

what he was searching for

in the first place.

What?

- CHRISTOPHER:
Pooh Bear!

-Um... Christopher?

CHRISTOPHER:
Pooh?

POOH:
Christopher!

Pooh Bear!

[GRUNTING]

Christopher Robin?

Christopher?

[GIGGLING]

- Oh, my goodness!

-Happy New Year!

- It is?

-Well, almost. It's New Year's Eve.

- So tonight we're having a party.

-[GASPS] A party?

And we'll make

our New Year's resolutions.

Reso-whotions?

[WHISTLE BLOWING]

- POOH:
Bother.

Resolutions, Pooh.

It's when you promise to do

something you've never done,

or not do something you used to do.

It's a promise to be

a better person in the new year.

POOH:
Hmm... Resolutions.

And something sweet.

That does sound like a party to me.

So where, may I ask,

is this party to be?

Anywhere our friends

are together, Pooh.

Well, in that case,

I know just the place, Rabbit's house.

He certainly is a friend.

Not to mention, he always

has a smackerel or three,

and I never mind sharing one with me.

It would only be proper

to ask first, Pooh.

You're right, Christopher.

I shall stop by Rabbit's house

before I invite all the others

to Rabbit's house.

[LAUGHS] Happy New Year, Pooh.

See you at the party.

Happy New Year, Pooh

Happy Pooh Year New

Hope it's sweet and sunny

like a pot of honey

For a Pooh Year treat

Friends will meet and greet

In the New Year Pooh Year, too

[RABBIT HUMMING]

[CHUCKLING]

There. Now that's

a happy little carrot plant.

My, my, Rabbit. I didn't know

you could grow carrots indoors.

Well, it's something only rabbits know.

Every year, I bring

in the last carrot of the summer...

There, there... I feed it, water it

and read to it all winter long,

as recommended, of course,

in this official

carrot-growing instruction manual.

Then, in the spring, I use it

to start my garden all over again.
