Unselfish man I've ever known.

How come you're All decked out?

My fraternity is Having a christmas party

For underprivileged Girls.

Underprivileged?

That's right.

They haven't met me yet.

Well, go get 'em, eddie.

When are you going To make your famous Gingerbread cookies?

I have to wait Till your father Leaves the house.

He eats them faster Than I can bake them.

Bye, grandma. Bye, sugar.

Eddie, wait, wait!

We're supposed To decorate The christmas tree.

Sorry. I'm going To a party.

Oh.

Go ahead without me.

You and dad did great On the rest of the house.

We saved The christmas tree

For the family To decorate together.

I'm getting a little old For that stuff now.

Love you.

Harriette, Are you okay?

You know, Mother winslow,

Every christmas Since eddie and laura Were little,

We've always decorated The tree together.

Now, all of a sudden, They're too busy.

Honey, they're growing up.

They've got lives Of their own.

Oh, I know that.

It's just that there's Certain traditions,

Especially around The holidays,

I still enjoy sharing With my children.

And as the years go by,

Those things become more And more precious to me.

I just wish my kids Felt the same way.

Well, we're done.

Let her rip!

I think santa and his elf Had too much coffee.

Well, I think they're Just getting down With their bad selves.

Steve, this is really, Really a beautiful Christmas display,

The best I've ever seen.

[steve] Oh, well.

What's the matter?

I think I got a faulty elf.

And something is Wrong with santa!

Can you fix it?

I might not have to.

Sometimes, These things have a way Of working themselves out.

And sometimes They get worse.

What are we going To do, steve?

The display is ruined.

No, it isn't.

Even without the santa, It still looks nice.

Nice isn't good enough.

Nice won't gladden People's hearts.

Nice won't Put the twinkle

In little Children's eyes,

And, most important,

Nice will Not be the best In the neighborhood!

Well, carl, It doesn't have To be the best.

All that matters is That we did our best.

That's The stupidest thing I've ever heard.

Now, come on!

We're going to go find Ourselves a new santa

And a new elf.

What are you smiling at?

But--but, carl, it's 6:15 on christmas eve.

Well, all the stores Are closed!

You want to hang with me?

Get in the spirit!

But--but--but--

He didn't mean that.

Oh, this is for me.

[rattle rattle]

Ohh! Yes. Yes!

Roller blades.

Uh-uh, grandma.

No looking Through your gifts.

Of course not. I like to be surprised.

What did Your father get me?

Nice try, grandma.

I looked all over The kitchen,

But I didn't see Any of your cookies.

Yeah, it's christmas eve,

And we've been waiting 364 days for those babies.

I decided not To make cookies.

Well, why not? It's a tradition.

It's just not christmas

Without Your gingerbread men.

Mm-hmm. Well, I figured You both were too old

For silly traditions Like christmas cookies.

Where would you Get a crazy idea Like that?

From your mother.

Mom?

She asked you both To help her trim the tree.

Evidently, You were too busy.

Grandma, The tree got decorated.

Mom did a great job.

That's exactly what it was-- A job.

She had to do it alone,

But had she Decorated that tree

With the both of you, You know what that would be?

What?

Christmas.

Wow, peachy keen idea, Big guy.

Ha ha. So, How do I look?

Perfect. The hat Looks great, the beard,

Except I think you Went a little overboard On the stuffing.

I didn't use Any stuffing.

Did I mention The hat looks great?

Come on. It's almost 8:00.

Haul your elfin butt Up here.

What's the rush?

Oh, uh, heh heh.

I don't want To disappoint

All the neighborhood Children.

Okay, ah!

Okay.

Feet, feet, feet! Watch the feet!

Get on your side Of the sleigh.

Okay. Alright. Sit.

Okay. Okay, ready?

Ready! Okay.

Oh...

Doesn't the neighborhood Look beautiful?

So many Decorated houses.

Heh. They don't Stand a chance.

Of what?

Uh, of making People happy.

Oh.

Hey, you know...

My arm Is getting tired.

Mine, too.

Okay, quick switch.

Hmm.

Looks like that tawdry Contest committee From channel 6

Is judging Zoohair's house.

Committee?

Yeah. For A decorating contest.

Can you believe that?

Some people actually Decorate their roofs

Solely for Monetary gain.

No!

Yeah.

Hey, why is That committee Coming over here?

Quick. Keep waving. Keep waving.

Well, carl,

Did you enter us In that contest?

Might have.

[gasps]

How could you?

You said you were Doing this for me!

Well--

[creaking]

Whuh-oh.

What's the matter?

This roof may Not be strong enough

To hold the combined Weight of this sleigh,

An elf, and A more portly Than anticipated santa.

Are we going To fall through?

[loud creaking]

Yep.

Aah!

Aah!

Oh, my goodness!

Oh! Ooh ooh!

Oh! Oh.

Look what we did.

Well, uh, eddie and I

Finally got the bed Back upstairs.

That's nice.

Later on, we'll put A tarp over this hole

So the snow Won't fall through.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Good idea.

You're upset, Aren't you?

Of course I am!

You besmirched Christmas.

You tried To deck your halls

With wads of dollars.

Well, steve--

It's bad enough That your motive Was greed.

What's far worse Is that you lied to me.

Well, not really. You see--

You said you cared About christmas And little kids

And making people happy,

But you didn't Care about any Of those things.

All you wanted was money.

Aw, steve, I didn't--

Don't touch me, you Greedy little grinch!

You know, I may be clumsy, And I may be annoying,

But I'm a straight shooter,

And I don't lie To people, carl.

No, you don't, And I shouldn't, either.

Yes, carl, and Especially on christmas.

Why, now's the time To celebrate friendship,

Not take advantage of it.

You're right, steve...

And I'm sorry.

You are?

Yep. I know it Will be a long time Before you forgive me,

But dig deep In your heart--

I forgive you, Big guy.

You'll give me Your word of honor

That you'll never lie To me again?

No.

See? You're Being honest already.

Open this. Oh, honey!

Honey, thank you So much.

Now, then...

Oh, man.

Eddie, I heard you And laura undecorated The tree last night.

That's right.

What in the sam hill Did you do that for?

To redecorate it With mom.

Like we do every year.

[carl] Aw, now That's nice.

Very nice.

I'm so proud Of my kids.

Fresh hot cookies, Everybody.

Oh! Ooh!

They look delicious.

I'll set them over here By the fireplace.
