00:00Garfield, wake up!
00:11Good morning, John.
00:12No time for small talk, Garfield.
00:14It's Christmas morning and you know what that means.
00:16Of course I do.
00:17Christmas means presents.
00:18Lots and lots of presents.
00:20First things first, Garfield.
00:21You can't open presents on an empty stomach.
00:24Here are your breakfast lasagnas.
00:26You may eat your way to the tree.
00:29Okay, Garfield, you wait right here while I get your gift.
00:45Now that's what I call a Christmas gift.
00:55It's the gift that keeps on giving, Garfield.
01:04Here, let me show you.
01:06Now watch this.
01:08This gift-giving machine can read your mind.
01:10Whatever you think of, it will give you.
01:13Observe.
01:23Neat, huh?
01:24Let me try that.
01:33And that's just for starters.
01:36Now this is what Christmas is all about.
01:43Christmas is my favorite time of year.
01:52That's the time I get my Christmas cheer.
01:56Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme.
01:59Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme.
02:02I'm gonna shake all the good and bad off the tree.
02:05Come on, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme.
02:08Yeah.
02:10Hey, stuff, gadgets, toys, great Everest.
02:14I love it.
02:16Hey, Garfield.
02:17Garfield, wake up.
02:20Huh?
02:21Oh, it's you.
02:23Leave your number.
02:24I'll get back to you.
02:26Hey, Garfield, guess what today is.
02:30Listen carefully, John.
02:32I don't do pop quizzes before breakfast, okay?
02:35Are you ready for this, Garfield?
02:37It's Christmas Eve morning.
02:39We're gonna pack up our presents and go to the farm for Christmas.
02:42Won't that be fun?
02:44You've got a real sick sense of humor, John.
02:46You know that, don't you?
02:47The whole family's gonna be there.
02:49Dad, Mom, and Grandma, and Doc Boy.
02:52And Good Boy, and Bad Boy, and Old Boy, and Atta Boy.
02:55Come on, Garfield.
02:56We have a busy day ahead of us.
03:02Why is it every Christmas I get drug out of my warm bed just to see some stupid old relatives?
03:08And why is it I always have to go to the stupid old farm?
03:11Why can't they come here where my warm bed is?
03:14And why am I whispering?
03:26We're almost back on the farm now, boys.
03:28I can almost smell Mom's chestnut dressing baking in the oven right now.
03:33It's not what I smell.
03:35There's no doubt about it.
03:36Christmas is my favorite holiday.
03:39The air is crisp, homes are brightly decorated, and everybody's walking around with big smiles on their faces.
03:47Yeah, almost everybody.
03:49I think the best part is watching the faces of children and sharing the memories of being a child at Christmas.
03:56I remember when my brother, Doc Boy, and I were little.
03:59Oh, brother, here we go again.
04:02Dad would chop down the tree.
04:04Chores.
04:05Mom would fix up the meal.
04:07Work.
04:08Doc Boy would get in the way.
04:10Fighting.
04:11Big, fat, hairy deal.
04:13Ow!
04:14Decorating the tree.
04:16Gardening.
04:17Wiring all of the lights.
04:18Electrical contracting.
04:19Wrapping boxes and writing out cards.
04:22Office work.
04:23Out of sight.
04:24Ow, ow, ow!
04:25Then we'd take those presents and pile them under the tree.
04:30We'd barely get a wink of sleep wondering what they could be.
04:35Ow!
04:36The special gifts of Christmas that really make it great are the insomnia and the anxiety kids get from having to wait.
04:49Can't wait till Christmas.
04:52There's so much to do.
04:54Can't wait till Christmas.
04:57Wake me when it's through.
05:01Now behave yourself this Christmas, Garfield.
05:04No problem.
05:05I'll wait in the car.
05:12Ho, ho, ho.
05:13Merry Christmas, Mom.
05:14Ho, ho.
05:15Merry Christmas to you, too, honey.
05:17Oh, it's so nice to see you.
05:19Here, let me take those packages.
05:29Hi, Dad.
05:30Merry Christmas.
05:31Merry Christmas, City Slicker.
05:33Doc Boy, how's my favorite brother?
05:35Don't call me Doc Boy.
05:37And you've probably forgotten I'm your only brother.
05:39Oh, you're right.
05:41Don't mind me.
05:42Didn't visit till your lips fall off for all I care.
05:45I'll just sit here in the dark alone until you decide to come over and pay your respects.
05:50Nobody gives a hoot about an old woman like me anyway.
05:53How could I ignore my favorite girl?
05:55Merry Christmas, Grandma.
05:57Ho, ho, ho.
05:58Merry Christmas, John.
06:00How have you been?
06:01Oh, I've been doing okay, considering.
06:03What's this, John?
06:05I see you're putting on a little belly.
06:07Is that city life making you soft?
06:09Oh, you're getting soft, boy.
06:12You need to get more physical.
06:14Take me.
06:15I do 100 sit-ups every morning.
06:16My belly is hard as a rock.
06:18Come on.
06:19Hit me right here.
06:20Give me your best shot.
06:21Uh, Grandma, you remember Garfield, don't you?
06:25Well, I'll be.
06:27I remember back when all we had were wood-burning cats.
06:30What won't they think of next?
06:33Bizarre.
06:34Isn't this wonderful?
06:36The whole family is together again for the holidays.
06:39Oh, we are going to have such a splendid Christmas.
06:43Oh, I'm so happy I could just burst.
06:46Oh, put a sock in it, dearie.
06:48Let's go finish dinner.
06:50I can see Grandma and I are going to get along just fine.
07:01This is what it's all about, right, boys?
07:03Hard work, brisk weather, and beautiful scenery.
07:07What scenery?
07:09I think somebody turned the lights out.
07:11In fact, I'd go so far as to say things can't get much worse than this.
07:15I've got to quit saying that.
07:25By any chance, you're not thinking of putting chili powder in my sausage gravy, are you, Grandma?
07:32Why, no.
07:35It is the fancy child who will give you such a notion.
07:39Just because my chili gravy won a blue ribbon at the county fair and your gravy didn't even place.
07:44Who am I to tell you how to make gravy?
07:47The Green County Gravy Champion, that's who.
07:54Hey, Garfield, where's Odie?
07:55In the barn, let's see.
08:09Ah!
08:16Hello, what's this?
08:18Why, it's sausage gravy.
08:29Ah!
08:31Perfect.
08:33Mmm, this smells great.
08:36Thank you.
08:42Doc Boy, will you say grace, please?
08:45Oh, Mom.
08:46Doc Boy!
08:48I never know what to...
08:51Lord, we just want to tell you how grateful we are for this food
08:58and for letting us all be here together on Christmas Eve.
09:03Amen.
09:05And as surely as the waters of the streams and the rivers find the sea,
09:12let each of us find happiness and wisdom in this our feast.
09:19Thanks, Lord.
09:20Let's eat.
09:22Hey, Mom, pass the potatoes, please.
09:24Scallop with fried bacon oil.
09:25Oh, Mom, you always fix too much food.
09:28I know, honey, I know.
09:29Now, what would you like?
09:31I can't decide.
09:32Just give me a piece of pie.
09:33Apple, peach, pumpkin, blueberry, cherry, or banana cream?
09:43Mmm, attentive service, excellent cuisine.
09:47However, the decor leaves something to be desired.
09:51I give this place two stars.
09:53You sure are packing the food away tonight, Grandma.
09:57I'm eating for two now, dear.
09:59Ah.
10:03That was a great meal, Mom.
10:05And you too, Grandma.
10:07Thank you, John.
10:08Well, it wasn't much, but I was hoping you'd like it.
10:13Hey, Garfield, there's plenty of leftovers.
10:15Would you like something to eat?
10:17No, thank you, John.
10:19I have opted to watch my waistline this holiday season.
10:23Okay, everybody, it's time to trim the tree.
10:32Oh.
10:42Just listen to him, Garfield.
10:44Old John at once like a bunch of banshees.
10:47Crazy, isn't it?
10:49Of course, to make it through this whole life, you have to be a little crazy.
10:53You said it, Grandma.
10:54Why, just look at me.
10:56I talk to cats.
10:59Careful, Dad. Don't hurt yourself.
11:02Why is it we always put the stupid star on last?
11:06Why don't we put the star on the top of the tree and then put the tree up?
11:11Well, it just wouldn't be Christmas if we put the star on first, honey.
11:15Hey, Garfield, come over here.
11:17Garfield, I have a very important job for you.
11:21It's a dangerous assignment, but if you succeed, you'll be a hero.
11:27A hero. I like that.
11:29I want you to take this star up the tree and put it on the top.
11:34Climbing trees is my life, sir.
11:36If I'm not back in an hour, send a banana cream pie after me.
11:40This is going to be a piece of cake.
11:42Never send a man to do a cat's job.
11:58Santa Claus is Coming
12:19Whoever invented Christmas trees should be drug out into the street and shot.
12:25Is everybody ready?
12:27Here we go.
12:36Nice touch.
12:38And now, everyone, my little boy is going to favor us with a Christmas song.
12:43I don't know about this, Mom.
12:46Boy, you doggone better well play.
12:48Those 24 years of piano lessons better be worth something.
12:55Oh, Christmas tree. Oh, Christmas tree.
13:01How lovely are thy...
13:04Scoot over, sonny boy.
13:06Let old grandma take a whack at that.
13:08Oh, Christmas tree. Oh, Christmas tree.
13:11How lovely are thy branches.
13:17Well, what do you think, dearie?
13:19That was interesting.
13:21Well, you better not touch those ivories until they've had a chance to cool down for a while.
13:26Get on down.
13:28Chico, Chico.
13:30Why don't you play for us, Mom?
13:39Christmas is here.
13:42Mistletoe and laughter.
13:45Carols and bells ringing to the rafters.
13:50Lights on the tree.
13:53Candles all aglow.
13:56And all who pass by say hello.
14:02Why, hello, Garfield.
14:05How did you know I needed a kitty in my lap?
14:08Wild guess.
14:10Since Grandpa passed on, I've wiled away many a lonely hour rockin' and strokin' my cats.
14:17I envy those cats.
14:19Grandpa was a proud man.
14:22A strong man.
14:24He was a good provider.
14:26We never had much money, but we always had plenty of food on the table.
14:33And he always made something special for me and each of the children at Christmas.
14:39Men like him didn't feel like they could show much affection outwardly to the children,
14:45but on Christmas, it was okay.
14:49He always pretended not to be excited on Christmas morning,
14:53but his eyes gave him away.
14:57I think, I think it was his favorite day of the year.
15:03Sometimes I wake up in the night and I can still feel his strong arms around me.
15:11Ah.
15:13This is the night I miss most.
15:18Keep Christmas here in your heart.
15:33And now, ladies and gentlemen, it is time for...
15:41Dad to read us our Christmas story.
15:44Yeah!
15:46Which is entitled...
15:48Dinky, the Clown Who Saved Christmas.
15:52Do I have to do this?
15:54Here's the book, dear.
15:56Now go over to your favorite chair and we'll all listen to you read the story.
16:01I'm beginning to feel a little silly reading this book year after year.
16:05You have to think of the children, dear.
16:07Yeah.
16:08They so look forward to it.
16:10Right, Dad.
16:11Yeah, let's see if Dinky saves Christmas again this year.
16:20Once upon a time, there was a clown named Dinky who loved children.
16:24Every time Dinky saw children, he would say,
16:28Hey, kid!
16:29No, no, no, no, no.
16:30Dad, read it with more emotion.
16:32Yeah, yeah.
16:33And why don't you say it like Dinky says it?
16:36Ahem.
16:37Every time Dinky saw children, he would say,
16:45Cut that out.
16:48And once again, Dinky the Clown saved Christmas for children all over the world.
16:53The end.
16:55I don't know about you, John, but for a couple of minutes there, I was getting pretty worried.
17:00Ooh, me too.
17:02All right, boys.
17:03It's time to get ready for bed.
17:05All right.
17:06Yeah.
