world out there Martha do not listen to

your father Annie the outside world is

so full of Adventure and wonder by the

day Santa came into my

Diner then I was known just as uh boring

old Calvin Claus Calvin Claus was

anything but boring to me it was love at

first sight wouldn't it be wonderful

flat screen TVs for a dollar that is why

it is time to pull out the big guns got

to do something to restore this place to

its former glory right Charlie Boon

trains yep care to do the honors I'd be

honored to do the

honors and

Plan B maybe uh

advertising online presence perhaps all

of those things cost money and as my

accountant you should know that I don't

have any of that yeah um and I don't

think I need to tell you that you have a

balloon payment du at the end of the

month I've still got a month I'll think

of something

[Music]

[Applause]

little

nicer look at the name the candy can

Motel I have to stay here for

Christmas no it's not the Four Seasons

you hi uh I believe that you have a room

waiting for me what's it under any claws

Annie Claus sounds like I should be

saying Santa Claus your parents have a

good sense of humor yeah I get that a

lot we have you under the Extended Stay

sign right there yes I'll be staying for

quite a while right this way Miss Annie

Claus honey what happened Amy winon and

her stupid friends those girls teasing

you again She chased me and then I fell

into the mud but she's just jealous

because she didn't get the parts for the

solo and the pageant and then she called

me a baby for believing in Santa Claus

what who would say something like that

honey don't you think you're getting a

little too old I assure you there is

nothing babyish about believing in Santa

Claus who are you well that's Annie

she's not a movie star she's going to be

staying here with us for the next month

this Amy Winton person should be making

fun of anyone let alone someone

believing in Santa Claus do you believe

of course I believe I know Santa is real

and he knows who's naughty and who's

nice here we go room number six here's

your key let us know if you need

anything welcome to the candy can thank

blow

people in this Town her like that to

newcomers how did you know I was a

newcomer um it was just a

hunch you have a good day

[Music]

now wait wait so you're saying that I

shouldn't get people hugs when they're

sad NOP and don't take it personal when

they don't say hi back it's just so

different here when someone back home

passes without a smile well then you

know that something is probably very

wrong well we're pretty comfortable

around here living in fear of each other

we tend not to make eye contact if we

can help it when I pass someone without

a smile I like to offer

mine mom here Mia mommy the pageant was

canell I'm sorry baby what happened Mrs

Carmichael's mom got sick and they had

to cancel because you had to go to

Michigan that's too bad

baby so there's no one else that can

direct it no they just cancelled it and

I was going to sing oh I love singing

baby you know I would do it but I can't

pay Carmen anymore than I already do to

watch the motel by the time I was 5 I

knew every Christmas song Under the

Sun oh Mia I'm so sorry music is food

for the soul especially Christmas music

I know but now it's like Christmas is

cancelled we can't let this happen Mia

we what if I direct the pageant uh

Christmas is start of my thing you don't

say I directed the spring elf show to

RVE

[Applause]

reviews oh thank you Annie I've been

waiting for this

forever thanks Annie

[Music]

come and play Wonderland of

toys Wonderland of

toys how exciting

[Music]

oh this is not right

[Music]

what do you think you're doing this is a

very popular game this season in the

85th percentile you have it all but

behind this toy from last year lady are

you from the bank I have till the end of

the month from the bank no I'm merely a

fan of

toys

oh hi I'm Annie

Claus I'm just visiting and staying at

the candy Motel I uh saw your flyer and

had to experience your Wonderland for

myself Ted Boon owner of said

Wonderland except I don't understand why

you would call it a Wonderland

though that word evokes images of

amazement and

Adventure which your store has none of

thanks that makes me feel amazing I

finished that

display however there's plenty of other

work to be done it does look much better

I'm in the toy business business too uh

back home in Idaho uh where I'm from my

family has a toy business there uh in

Idaho where we have a toy business yeah

you said that so is this family business

very successful oh I should say so it's

one of the most successful ones ever for

your town yes for my town then I sure

could use your help around here but I'm

fortunately I can't really afford to pay

you right now I would never ever take

money for working with toys

um I'd be happy to help you while I'm in

town well that doesn't seem right I'm

here for a short time to experience the

world and try to decide if I want to go

back and run my father's business

working in your store would help me make

that decision you're sure about this oh

nothing comforts me more than working

with

toys working for free must be a very

successful family business huh oh it

is so when do I start

[Music]

and I can promise I'll make you all

proud I'm going to infuse you with

Christmas spirit while we make the most

wonderful Pageant

Ever yes

Amy will you be recasting a more mature

soloist some of us feel that maybe

someone got the lead because she started

to cry like a baby I did not cry I don't

think recasting is

necessary here everyone is a star there

are no small roles only small actors one

more thing I know the script calls for

Santa will the real Santa Claus be

participating oh heavens know he's far

too busy this time of year but we'll get

one of Santa's helpers to play

him shall we uh practice some

scales here we

go ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho Bel

look alive

Amy status report hey I can't talk right

now I'm at work time is ticking

Dean I need you to make this happen now

you know Chester nobody could live on

this pit and say you're paying me man

quit that job you work for me

exclusively consider the Auntie upt how

up way upt

trust me Ted there's a method to my

madness you've been at it all morning

and all I see is

madness in chaos there's

order how's the train coming still

having technical difficulties well keep

working on them the store needs energy

it needs excitement people shoping

places that make them feel good all

makes you feel good Christmas Christmas

makes everyone feel good and you don't

have so much as a single candy cane in

here this might come as a shock to you

Annie but Christmas makes some people

feel like failures at life love and the

pursuit of happiness all the more reason

to surround yourself with it you have to

give people reason to shop here instead

of that

Superstore sorry to tell you Ted but

Christmas may be the best thing you've

got going for you worked for my father

exactly so put out some sugar cookies

throw up some Garland and put up some

lights oh lots of of Lights do you think

decorating is going to magically solve

the problem of this balloon payment

oh not just your money problems but your

soul just Infuse yourself with the

Christmas spirit and life just looks

[Music]

better we are treating you today yes

here you go excuse

me are you married why I'm just curious

Prince Charm hasn't been lucky enough to

find me yet oh but you can't give up

hope you're in the right place one day

he is going to walk through that door

and sweep you off your feet and then

you'll move to his village with him and

be crazy in love for years and years and

you'll help him run a successful family

business and then maybe you'll have a

daughter that you'll love dearly and I

guess I better stay in this dream

[Music]

job that's how my parents met yeah

Kim the man helped me the other day

hello hey hello hello what she talking

about I don't know

baby hello

[Music]

[Applause]

where'd he

[Music]

go don't you ever run after no man hear

me okay not a good look don't do

that excuse me

ma'am

you well if it isn't the lady soda

shake I'm Annie Dean Dean derling

it's so nice to meet

you again the pleasure is most

definitely

mine so what do you work

here uh yes well then this must be

fate

[Music]

yes uh this would be great for a

six-year-old

oh really appreciate your help ABS no

idea what to get for him is is this your

own child

oh no no no I'm not married single as

the day is

long no it it's for uh for an orphan

that I'm sponsoring for Christmas you

know I just knew I had to do whatever I

could to give this poor kid the best

Christmas imaginable now Christmas is

too what a lucky boy to have been chosen

by you oh it's the least I can do you

know Christmas is my favorite time of

year mine too I love the decorations you

the music the lights

I love lights I love

lights

so thank you so much again for your

help this place is so much better than

Superstore I guess people don't realize

it's

here but I will definitely be back bye

[Music]

bye I bet that foot bath feels

[Music]

perfect it's the most wonderful feeling

in the world who needs a man that's

always warm and never talks

back why don't you have a husband Lucy I

had three husbands Annie oh the last one

he left me with a baby and ran off with

a 20-year-old named Kiki Keller I'm so

sorry to hear that that's schol between

running the business and raising Mia I

really don't have the energy to date

well I think that there's a Calin out

there there for everyone who's Calvin oh

it's a it's a saying that we had back

home it means your one true love you

think the guy at the diner could be your

Calvin well I couldn't be certain but

I'd sure like to find out at least

before Christmas that's when my family

wants me to make the decision whether

I'll go back and run our business but I

have to see what's out here for me first

don't you think that's a lot of pressure

to put on yourself not when you know

he's out there waiting for you to find

him

wish I had that kind of

Faith how about Ted that guy from the

toy store he's cute

right I suppose

so but he's my boss Lucy that would be

inappropriate true trust me I have dated

a lot in La there not a lot of options

well you can't have met everyone I mean

there must be at least 100 people in

this town at

least let me take that

well I'm not going to give up good for

you

[Music]

Annie well do you see how silly you were

to be worried Santa I do Martha I should

have listened to you I'm glad you

finally realized that well it's time to

turn in come along I'll be in shortly no

neglect welcome to Wonderland toys how

uh have a bit of a confession to

make I couldn't stop thinking about you

I don't think it's silly at all would

you want to grab coffee or a hot cocoa

in the world no kidding me too God like

I said Annie I mean this this really

must be

fate uh uh right now don't you get a

break or

something 30 minutes

[Music]

yeah that's when I when I realized I had

to become a

lawyer I think that is so wonderful it

hurts my heart to see people in

need yeah I I feel like I've been really

blessed in my life so I feel it's sort

of an obligation to get back like with

the orphans and how long have you worked

with this orphanage

years

yeah I mean the kids are really amazing

you know I feel like if they don't have

parents then they should have a really

great holiday well if you give me the

name I can ask uh my father to send

presents as well oh uh sure yeah it's

called um Our Lady of the Holy

Grail orphanage for boys

and hey you're that guy from that

commercial uh after my accident I was

told I would never walk again

Kurt look it's tell never walk again guy

I think you have me confused with

someone else I've been doing this a long

time and I never forget a face well I'm

not an actor you know I don't think they

hire lawyers to do

commercials excuse us

[Music]

in my head 2 weeks is nothing please

Christmas what does Christmas have to do

go along with the other 364 horrible

days that my Year's made of don't say

Christmas you know people keep saying

that but I have yet to see one but you

watch the

motel why are you doing this for Ted

again because he's a good person he

generosity hi Amy Mia I'm surprised to

see you here and not on Santa's lap like

all the other

infants

Amy can I speak to you for a

minute hi we both know that Santa is

real very real indeed in fact I know

that you personally wrote him a letter

asking for an iPod a $100 gift

certificate to forer 21 and a teddy bear

to replace the old one that Isabella

your housekeeper ruined in a washing

machine am I right

right now your letter is going to look

pretty sad to Santa after it gets one

from me telling him how naughty you've

been I can put you on the naughty list

attitude and apologize I can put you

back on the nice

neighbors of mine back home you know

when I have a family I don't care how

exhausted I am but I am picking up where

the Stadium's left off I mean my house

will be the Christmas house I think

that's a marvelous idea all it takes is

one family and the Christmas spirit is

infectious yeah

I I just uh I really hope I can find a

woman to come on board with me for

that well I don't imagine that she'd be

that difficult to

find well maybe I've already found

her but we're doing better aren't we I

mean yeah but you're not in the clear

yet Ted and the payment's only part of

it you still have to make monthly

expenses and my good luck charm's going

to come through I have faith and yeah

and I wish there was something I could

do for her to thank her for everything

she's done maybe give her some of that

Christmas spirit she's so fond of well

if I know one thing about women is that

all they want is for a man to listen to

what they want then get it for them very

true so what does Annie love Annie loves

lights

[Music]

okay you're going to have to figure that

one out on your own I I think I just

did so I I went down to the orphanage

pocket and I said rally the troops we're

going to Disneyland they must have been

so thrilled oh they were Beyond you know
