00:01This is the tale of one of the most challenging nights of my long career.
00:06Dance, you won't get all those sacks down the chimney in one go.
00:13Christmas was knocking on Wellington's front door.
00:16Come on out!
00:17Ouch!
00:19And here are our unfortunate heroes.
00:25Bernadette, you're in charge.
00:27Yes! Eight kid-free hours!
00:30Woohoo!
00:31Oh, hi Danny.
00:32Hi Sam.
00:37You've ruined Christmas lunch for everyone.
00:39Except the turkeys.
00:41Your dad will be here in an hour, I bet with more presents than Santa.
00:45See ya!
00:47Dad!
00:49Oh, all the snow.
00:51If you thought the snow was over, you were wrong.
00:55Merry Christmas.
00:57I'm sure he tried.
01:00I don't know if you've noticed, but there's a tiny bit of a blizzard going on here.
01:03Nonsense! It's just a light breeze.
01:06Watch out!
01:13What? They won't be home for Christmas?
01:16It's a possibility.
01:18Mum, what happened to your hair?
01:20Uh, yes. It's nothing.
01:23If you feel alone, Christmas can be tricky.
01:27And our local heroes needed a giant sack full of fixing.
01:43Evening, Sants!
01:45Where's Evie?
01:46Everything was about to get...
01:48Flippin' heck!
01:49A lot...
01:50Evie!
01:51More...
01:52Complicated.
01:53Faster!
01:56Get ready for...
01:58That Christmas.
02:00Who are you talking to?
02:02You're talking to yourself again, Sants.
02:21Merry Christmas.
