Oh Deer, It's Christmas

Ho ho ho ho ho.

Ho ho ho ho ho.

- I can't wait for Christmas, you guys.

Look at all the presents that are already under our tree.

- Ours has still got to be the very first tree

of the holiday season.

Right.

I mean, who in the whole wide world

could possibly get a jump on Christmas like we do?

Santa's own faithful reindeer squad.

Tinker, Terry, Perry, and Larry.

Putting smiles on faces and brightening

even the snowiest nights for,

how long have we been doing this gig for now?

A long time.

That's right, a real long time.

And every Christmas morning, it still feels

like my first ride in the sleigh.

That's the magic of Christmas, Terry.

Huh.

Hocus pocus is more like it.

Hey, what's up with you, Larry?

- Yeah, you got a humbug in your bonnet or something?

I don't wear a bonnet, Tinker.

I wear a harness, and one of those dumb red and white hats

with the snowball on top.

Hey, Santa's hat isn't dumb.

Yeah!

Nothing about Christmas is dumb.

What's gotten into you, Lar?

Or should we say Scrooge McDeer?

- What if every sleigh ride doesn't feel like

the first sleigh ride to some of us?

Every year, it's the same old same old.

Fly through the night in subzero temperatures,

land on slippery rooftop after slippery rooftop,

watch Santa squeeze down another chimney,

or get the key from under the doormat,

since lots of these new homes don't even have chimneys,

we will then hang around trying not to be spotted

while he takes his good old time arranging gifts just right.

I mean come on, aren't you guys bored?

No!

It looks like you're overruled, Larry.

The rest of us still love the holiday season!

Yeah!

And I love it too!

That's how come I care so much.

I don't wanna see Christmas get boring for anybody,

young or old, ever!

Then look alive.

We still have decorations to hang.

And new presents are popping up under our tree every day.

The countdown's on, Larry.

Soon it will be Christmas Day.

- Some more creative control would be nice.

After all, who knows Christmas better than we do?

Santa, that's who.

And until he wants to change things up,

we're going to celebrate Christmas just like we always have.

- Yeah, with smiles and laughter and high flying.

Ho ho holing high jeans

Christmas is boring you guys.

Just booooooring.

Santa, I can't wait for Christmas eve.

All my elf life I've been on a shelf

dreaming of the day when I've been asked

to join your sleighing.

And here it is.

It's greater than I ever imagined.

Ho ho ho Benny, I'm glad you're enjoying

your first Christmas as a full pledged member of our team.

Boy am I!

- As you know, making sure Christmas happens

for everyone is a lot of hard work.

I can see that.

I had no idea about everything that goes into it.

All the little details, the pre-planning,

the fool-proofing.

Christmas is just perfect.

- Christmas has been perfect for years and years Benny.

As long as folks are smiling on Christmas morning,

our job is done.

And joy never goes out of style.

Congratulations and welcome to La Chim my little elf.

I'm happy to have you.

Now, if you don't mind, we have just a few more presents

to wrap this evening before you whisk off the bed.

Oh, I would wrap a thousand more Santa.

A million even.

I despise this time of the year Clank,

there has joy and the despicable good will.

It affects the land every year.

Year after year after year.

Blah!

I agree master.

It's a good thing we don't have to celebrate.

Up here in the land of no, there's no Christmas here.

- If only that were so Clank, merely knowing

that Christmas exist, it make me want to crush

their little party. (evil laugh)

This year I plan to do just that.

What do you mean master?

- My magic foresight has detected a pronounced weakness

in character at the North Pole.

A weakness all glaring, I can exploit it

for my own purposes.

Is it Santa?

Is he finally growing tired of his role

as the whole planet's gift giver?

Nah, Santa, he's a lost cause.

He'll give gifts till the end of time.

He loves his holiday to learn everywhere.

Hard to must to ever betray his mission.

The one that my sixth sense is feeling

is another creature.

A goofy one.

One of the thankless workers who's grown dissatisfied

and discontent and dismayed even.

With his place at the North Pole.

- Bah, humbug, no more gifts under the tree.

Boring!

I can work with this type of gloom.

So rigorous master.

How do you propose we use this gloom to our advantage?

I tell you how.

This creature is so foolish and so pompous.

If we were to put him in charge of Christmas,

he will ruin the holidays all on his own

without us having to ever lift a finger.

Sounds downright desperately master.

That it is Clank.

Dare I say, this will be the year

the fun of Christmas ends.

And for this year, neighsayers around the world

will forget the name of screwed and and dread,

an all new holiday villain who ruined Christmas forever.

The Mighty Bunion.

Wonderful job tonight, Benny.

I'm very much looking forward to the sleigh ride with you.

It's a joy having you on my team.

I'm honored Santa.

There's no place else I'd rather be.

- That's the attitude my elf, I predict we're going

to do great things together.

Now, if you'll excuse me, it's time for bed.

I'm not as young as I used to be

and a good night's sleep is getting more and more important

as the years go by.

I understand Santa.

I'll make sure the stove burners are turned off

and the candles are blown out.

Thank you Benny for all that you do.

Good night Santa.

I'll start breakfast at sun up

and see you bright and early.

We can wrap more presents if you like.

You know it, my elf.

Here at the North Pole, there will always be

more presents to wrap. (laughs)

Good work today, everyone.

I'm looking forward to even more tomorrow.

Who am I?

The lead up to Christmas is more fun than anything else

I can think of.

Except Christmas itself.

Na-na-nothing beats that.

You've got that right, Terry.

Each year around this time, I think the same thing.

How lucky we are to be Christmas reindeer

at the North Pole.

Yeah!

Buh, humbug.

Excuse me, Larry?

I didn't hear you.

Could you speak up?

Huh?

Oh, nothing.

I was just clearing my throat.

Aw, okay.

Well, sleep tight gang.

I'll see you bright and early in the morning.

And we can pick up where we left off.

- Okay. - Okay.

- You mean what you're telling us over and over

how great everything is and how lucky we are

to do the same things year after year after year?

Gee, I can't wait.

Hey, that's not the holiday spirit, Lar.

Yeah, it's Christmas time.

Huh, humbug.

You guys celebrate all you want.

I'm gonna take a stroll in the town.

You want us to come with you?

Nah, I'm my own reindeer.

I don't always need to be part of a deer quartet, you know.

Oh, well suit yourself then.

Trabby McCrab.

- Sometimes I wonder if this life is the best there is.

Now, if I could just be in charge of things.
