00:00 Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la la, la la la la.
00:06 Is the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la, la la la la.
00:12 [Clears throat]
00:18 Say it too.
00:19 Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la la, la la la la.
00:21 Easy steps to a beautiful tree.
00:23 This Christmas Eve.
00:26 Come on, it's only about another half a mile.
00:28 Oh, that's good actually.
00:30 It's a bit mushy.
00:32 Christmas now, 25th of December,
00:38 devoted especially to family reunion and merry making.
00:43 Luke, what you made?
00:50 A cake.
00:51 And who's it for?
00:52 Santa.
00:53 Is it good?
00:54 Yeah.
00:55 Has it got anything for the reindeers?
00:56 Carrots and some water.
00:58 Why have you got six?
00:59 Because there's six reindeers.
01:00 I thought there was eight reindeers.
01:02 One of them is missing.
01:03 So, let's take it to the chimney.
01:05 Alright.
01:06 How are they going to deliver the presents to everybody else?
01:10 What time is he going to be here?
01:14 We don't know.
01:15 Nobody knows.
01:16 So, Mum and Daddy are going to go to bed.
01:18 Good night.
01:19 Is that all we're doing?
01:20 I suppose.
01:23 It's Christmas.
01:26 Whoa.
01:29 Oh, my gosh.
01:32 Oh, fantastic.
01:34 Fantastic.
01:35 Fantastic.
01:36 Fantastic.
01:37 You don't like it?
01:38 Mummy, give it to Mum.
01:40 Oh, it's just some radiator kit.
01:45 Merry Christmas.
01:47 Merry Christmas.
01:48 And a happy new year.
01:50 [Cheering]
01:53 Christmas lunch is not a difficult meal to prepare,
02:00 but it does require perfect timing.
02:02 Now, to achieve that, I have the traditional Christmas spreadsheet.
02:07 This ensures that the timing is absolutely perfect.
02:11 One hour, 85, that's not right.
02:13 That's one hour, 60, what?
02:15 [Groaning]
02:17 I can't, I don't know.
02:18 [Laughing]
02:19 Right, here we go.
02:20 [Cheering]
02:23 Come on, ladies, we're busy enough.
02:25 3, 2, 1.
02:27 [Cheering]
02:30 Merry Christmas, everyone.
02:32 [Cheering]
02:33 Well, it did all come together at one o'clock,
02:36 so cheers, happy Christmas.
02:38 Everyone, we're going to wish Dad
02:41 Merry Christmas in Afghanistan.
02:43 Lily, you want to say it first?
02:45 Hi, Dad.
02:48 Hope you have a good time out there.
02:50 Merry Christmas.
02:52 Love you loads.
02:53 James.
02:54 Ben.
02:56 Hiya, Dad.
02:57 I just wish you could be here for Christmas
02:59 and we'll see lots of love, Bethany.
