[Snoopy humming]

Good grief.

[Sally] Stop messing around, Big Brother!

These letters to Santa aren't gonna write themselves.

"Dear, Santa."

[clears throat] Write this down.

"How are you? How's the weather treating you at the North Pole?

I have been very good this year.

I made my bed four times last month

and got a ribbon for lunchroom attendance."

[slurping]

[sighs]

Have you written your letter to Santa, Snoopy?

There are only 12 days left until Christmas.

[shouts]

[sighs]

[clears throat] The Christmas clock is ticking.

[chatters]

[chatters]

[cheering]

Care to join us, pal?

We're off to the Christmas market to give Santa our letters.

I prefer to do it in person. You can't trust anyone this close to Christmas.

[Snoopy gasps]

Are you sure you've included everything you want for Christmas?

[Woodstock squeaks]

[sighs]

[carolers] ♪ On the first day of Christmas My true love gave to me… ♪

Hurry, Big Brother!

I want to get to Santa before the lineup gets too long.

Out of my way! Coming through!

Look out!

♪ On the third day of Christmas My true love gave to me ♪

♪ Two turtledoves And a partridge in a pear tree ♪

Well, well, well. If it isn't good old Charlie Brown.

Care to buy a raffle ticket? Only five cents.

It's for my charity.

If you win, you get to pick any toy you want.

Not that you're known for winning.

I suppose if it's for a good cause.

Will this cover it?

No.

[sighs]

Ticktock, Big Brother.

Whoa. Would you look at that.

Have you ever seen something so beautiful?

I told you that's for charity, Rerun.

Yeah, I know. [sighs]

Ooh!

Snoopy! If you want that toy, you have to buy a raffle ticket.

[Woodstock squeaks]

You're better off trying your luck with Santa.

[groans] Dog germs. Gross.

[cheering]

[grunts] Hey.

- Whoa. - [Snoopy laughing]

No cutting.

- Snoopy. - Watch out.

Huh?

[droning adult chatter]

My turn to butter up the big man.

Santa, it's been too long.

- You don't look a day over… - [Woodstock chatters]

- How old are you supposed to be anyway? - [chattering]

- [crowd cheering] - [horn blares]

[laughs]

Say hello to the missus for me.

[cheering]

Santa said I was polite

and complimented me on my lunchroom attendance.

[droning adult chatter]

What's wrong, pal?

"From the office of the North Pole.

If you have received this letter,

you have been placed on Santa's naughty list."

[gasps]

[gasps]

[carolers gasp]

I can't say I'm surprised.

One time, I thought I was on Santa's naughty list.

Toughest week of my life.

Has Snoopy really been that naughty this year?

Well, he is always stealing my blanket.

He chewed our football.

He ate half my sandwich.

He wrote all about me in his latest gossip column.

Okay, I guess sometimes Snoopy gets lost in his own world.

And it's true, his imagination can get the best of him.

But I never expected the naughty list.

If that's true, he won't get any presents.

[screaming]

[shouting]

Hey, pal. It's okay.

[Snoopy sobs]

I know how you feel.

Christmas isn't always like it is in the movies.

Sometimes you get left off everyone's Christmas card list.

Sometimes it's cold or wet. Sometimes it's cold and wet.

No moping on my watch.

I know how you feel, Snoopy.

I can help you fix this.

All we have to do is show Santa how nice you can be.

What do you say, Snoopy?

We've got work to do.

Okay, Snoopy.

You have 12 days left to show Santa that you're not naughty.

Every time you do something nice, I'll draw a little heart.

But if you don't pull it off…

[gasps]

Thank you for helping me wrap Christmas gifts, Snoopy.

It's really nice of you. Mine always end up messy for some reason.

You got this, pal.

[horse whinnies]

Yeehaw!

- [whip cracking sound effect] - [eagle cawing sound effect]

This is a mess even by my standards.

Not a strong start. [sighs]

I try to integrate the fundamental principles of architecture

with every gingerbread house I build.

Aesthetics, functionality and 65 pounds of sugar.

The Colosseum is my most ambitious project.

So I really appreciate the help, Snoopy.

Did you know the gladiators were considered

to be among the most courageous in ancient Rome?

[crowd cheering]

[shouts]

[exclaiming]

[shouting]

[chuckles]

[sighs]

The sled was amazing, Linus.

It had a lightning bolt and room for all my friends.

Have you asked Santa for it yet?

No. But I figure if I talk about it enough,

Santa will hear me.

[whispers] Apparently, he has ears everywhere.

Snoopy, do you wanna help us put up Christmas decorations?

It would be the nice thing to do.

We could always use another set of paws to help.

We decorate this tree every year. It's our family tradition.

[Snoopy] Huh?

[strains]

Whoa! [grunts]

[Rerun, Linus groan]

I take it Snoopy is still on the naughty list?

Sure looks like it.

But you believe Snoopy's good, right, Linus?

We're all capable of good and bad, Charlie Brown.

Snoopy isn't bad. He's just not great at being good.

I guess you're right.

But I just don't want him ending up without a present at Christmas.

Maybe I could buy him one.

You need a job, Charlie Brown.

Hi. I'm trying to raise money to buy my dog a present.

Can I shovel your walk?

What if it snows again tomorrow and covers up what you did today?

Do I get my money back?

That's not how it works.

[sighs]

My dad says why should he pay you when he can make me do it instead?

[door slams]

- I'll need to see references. - Uh, well--

[door slams]

- Are you insured? - Well, I--

[door slams]

I suppose so.

[grunting]

Phew. I did it.

It took a while,

- but I think I did a good job. - [flock cheering]

I can't stand it.

[flock cheering]

[sighs] Not helping, Snoopy.

[playing "Jingle Bells"]

[tuba sounds discordantly]

[piano keys slam]

You can do this, Snoopy.

Or maybe you can't. Either way, you have seven days.

[Charlie Brown] Good morning, Patty and Violet.

Would you like to buy one of my homemade Christmas wreaths?

- They are a symbol of ev-- - Not interested.

You ruined a perfectly good tree, Charlie Brown.

[sighs] Merry Christmas.

And joy to the world.

Maybe I shouldn't have made so many.

Hey, Charlie Brown! Care for a ride?

Sorry, Rerun. I'm working.

Suit yourself!

Whee!

Rats.

Charlie Brown, how about joining us with some merriment and cheer?

They do say there's nothing like a Christmas song to lift your spirit.

So much for lifting spirits.

Wait. Did you say five cents?

Yeah, and you can keep the bell.

Thanks, Franklin.

[sighs]

[groans]

You've got one day left, Snoopy.

If you want to prove you're nice,

maybe you should try to follow someone else's example.

For instance, who is the nicest, sweetest, kindest person you know?

[Snoopy] Hmm…

[rustling]

Huh?

Santa Claus?

I was talking about me!

Let me get this straight.

Your plan to be nice is to help Santa on his break?

Ho! Ho! Ho!

It's not going to work.

Just because you ring some bells doesn't mean

- anyone's gonna believe that you're-- - Santa!

- Santa! - Merry Christmas, Santa.

- Looking good, Santa. - Yay! Santa!

[sighs]

I was wondering if I can please have a train set for Christmas?

[chattering]

[squeaks]

Thanks, Santa. Merry Christmas.

["It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" playing]

I would like a tea set, please.

All I want for Christmas this year is peace on Earth.

And maybe a blue scooter.

[straining]

[pants]

Thanks, Santa.

[both] Merry Christmas.

My faith in humanity is restored.

[flock cheering]

Hey. This box is empty.

Mine says "for display purposes only."

My faith in humanity is back on hold.

What gives, Santa?

[groaning]

[whimpers]

Look what you did! You ruined the market! You've ruined Christmas!

[Sally] Sorry, Snoopy.

Maybe next year.

[Snoopy] Aw…

Santa?

Santa?

[Snoopy sighs]

[chattering]

[Woodstock sighs]

[Rerun] There you are, Santa.

If you're not too busy,

maybe I could tell you what I want for Christmas.

It's a new sled.

It's blue with a yellow lightning bolt.

By far the bestest sled in the entire world.

I want it so I can share it with my friends

so no one gets left on their own.

I know I'm asking a lot, so if I don't get it…

[sniffles] …that's okay.

Santa, whoa.

You sure look like you could use a hug right now.

Merry Christmas, Santa.

Excuse me, Lucy. I'd like…

Whoa.

That dog of yours is a menace to the neighborhood.

He doesn't mean anything by it.

Can dogs be naughty? They're just, well, dogs.

Maybe Santa's more of a cat person.

Huh. I hadn't thought of that.

By the way, if it's not too late, I'd like one raffle ticket, please.

You're just in time. I was about to draw the winner.

Charlie Brown.

- I won? - Yes.

[gasps] I won. Whoo-hoo! Yeah!

- Don't get too excited. - I won. I won. I won.

You're the only one who bought a ticket!

I won. Whoo-hoo!

I can't believe it. I've never won anything in my entire life.

Here you go, Snoopy. It's your Christmas present.

I've seen how hard you've been trying to be nice.

Now, go pick out whichever toy you want.

[sniffles]

Aw!

[cheering]

All right. What do you want, Beagle?

[gasps]

[exclaims]

Just a friendly reminder, we have a strict no-return policy.

- [sleigh bells jingling] - [gasps]

[gasps] Thank you, Santa! Thank you! Thank you!

Joy to the world!

That was a really nice thing you did, Snoopy.

Even I have to admit. That was nice.

I knew you were a good dog.

I'm just glad I could help.

All aboard!
