How will you make it on your own?

This world is awfully big. Girl, this
time you're all alone.

But it's time you started living.

It's time you let someone else do some
giving.

Love is all around only.

You can never tell. Why don't you take
it? You might just make

it.

Well, you see, Christmas Eve is just
like any other day when you're doing a

show.

Well, let's see. It's a four -hour
drive. If I leave here at seven, I

there by eight o 'clock.

But I'm going to drive fast because I
can't wait to see you.

All right, all right. I won't drive
fast.

I won't. I promise.

Mom, don't worry.

I won't be there until one in the
morning, okay?

Okay. Bye, Mom. Love to all.

I'll see you next week.

Merry Christmas to you, too.

Bye -bye.

Morning, Mr. Grant.

The only thing missing is an electric
train.

You got the nativity scene in your
drawer?

That's incredible.

I haven't had time to set it up, but I
thought it would go very nicely on the

filing cabinet. Who's kidding?

Mr. Grant, I don't know if there's any
chance that I could get off early

Christmas Eve, is there? See, I'm going
to drive up and spend Christmas Day with

my family.

Mary, come into my office.

Mary, the thing I wanted to talk to
you...

Well,

it's Christmas. You had to have

something in here.

I'm not going to drop needles all over
my desk, is I?

Sit down.

You know, Mary, I haven't had Christmas
off in seven years.

Oh, that's terrible.

Well, it's not too bad. You get used to
it.

Christmas is just like any other day
when you work in a newsroom. You know

I mean?

Uh, no.

Oh.

You gotta work on Christmas.

I've gotta work on Christmas?

Well, that's another way of putting it.

I never thought that I would be working
on Christmas.

I better go call my mom.

She's sentimental about Christmas.

I have a feeling that when I go to sleep
tonight, three ghosts are going to

visit me.

Rhoda, aren't you going to help me
decorate it all?

I just decorated an entire department
store.

Hey, Mary, why don't you hang our
pantyhose? They hold more.

Christmas.

Mary,

do you mind if I leave Beth's gifts
here? I don't want her to find them.

been hunting around the apartment since
Halloween.

Oh, sure.

Can you see this stuff? It's fantastic.

Did you get anything for me?

Not exactly what I wanted.

It's a one -quarter scale transparent
figure with all the intestines.

It's very educational also.

Hey, Mary, don't you wish they had this
kind of stuff when we were kids?

Oh, Rhoda, look!

Oh, now she is adorable.

This doll is some dresser.

I've been looking for a pair of shoes
like this all winter.

Isn't she a talking doll?

No. Not too bad.

I was hoping she could tell me where she
got those shoes.

What are you getting for Lars?

Hey, he's a doctor. Why don't you give
him this thing with the intestines?

this year.

I pick cash.

I'll be back up tomorrow to wrap these.
Merry Christmas.

Yeah, you too.

Oh, wow. This is going to be some weird
Christmas.

What do you mean, Miss? Well, my
apartment's all decorated. I got

the tree. I'm not going to be here to
enjoy it. I'll be working.

That's it. Cheer yourself up.

People, let me tell you something.

When I was a little girl, we used to
drive up to my grandparents every

and on the way we'd pass the diner and
there'd be these

These little old men having their
Christmas dinner all alone, and it's

this year I'm going to be one of those
little old men.

You know, I came down here because I was
a little depressed, but said to myself,

Mary will cheer me up.

I got an idea.

I don't have to work Christmas Eve. Why
don't you and I celebrate it together?

I don't know, Mayor. I get the feeling
that Christmas Eve with you could be

pretty grim. No, come on. I'll be good.
I promise.

We'll light the tree, and then we'll
build a fire, and we'll have some

Open our presents. Come on, what do you
say?

Okay, you're on. Good.

Hey, listen, does this mean we're going
to exchange gifts?

Well, it wouldn't be a bad idea.

Uh, did you get mine yet?

Yeah. What is it?

Brody, you're not supposed to ask that.

How about a hint?

Mary, I'm very competitive. I want to
get you something better.

That's not exactly... the Christmas
spirit, fella.

It's not what I'd call the Christmas
spirit. No, sir, that is not the

spirit. Well, what's wrong, Ted?

Oh, they're just rubbing it in down the
hall because they're having a Christmas

party and we're not. Who's having the
party?

Everybody except us. In particular, that
darn chuckle's a clown.

Hey, clown, you're not funny.

I don't know why we can't have a
Christmas party. Oh, yes, you do.

Because of what you did last year.

What'd you do, Ted?

I don't remember. I go to a lot of
parties.

I don't know everything.

What did he do?

Well, you know how it is. You get a few
drinks in you and you feel like telling

off the boss. Except he did it on the
air.

You're kidding.

You mean he actually told you off on the
air? No, he didn't tell me off.

Well, who then?

The president.

Of the United States?

Of America.

Why? Well, he sent the president a
Christmas card and got mad because he

get one back.

Hi, Fred.

Hiya, Fred. How you doing?

Why don't you ask me New Year's Eve? I
have to work then, too.

What?

Murray.

We said we weren't going to exchange
presents.

Oh, I know, but... Well, I felt so bad
about you not being able to get home and

all. I hope you like it.

and we decided no presents.

Oh, well, I don't know what to say.

Except... Here's yours. Oh, gee.

I know.

Listen, Marie, don't feel badly about
me. Rhoda and I are going to have dinner

together tonight, open some presents...
Ho, ho, ho! The silver Santa's here.

Right now, I have personalized gifties
for each one of my little elves. Lou?

It's either a record album or a very
stiff handkerchief.

Fred.

Mary.

Thanks for the time, Mayor. Oh, you're
welcome, Ted. I hope it fits.

Harlan. Ted, why don't we just file by
and help ourselves?

There's a way of doing these things,
Murr. Avery.

He's the only man I know that can make
Christmas seem like mail for him.

Murray. Yo.

Oh,

this is terrific, Ted. I'm glad you like
it, Lou. Yes.

as told by Ted Baxter.

I had the engineers make it up. It's a
compilation of my best stuff.

I'm surprised you needed an LP.

Mary. Oh, thank you. I heard about you
not being able to go home for Christmas

after planning to and all. Yeah, it was
a little disappointing, but everybody

here has the same problem, you know, or
one like it.

Look at you. It's Christmas Eve and you
have to work tonight.

Well, I just want you to know that
tomorrow when you're working and I'm at

I'll be thinking about you. Oh, thank
you, Fred. That's very nice.

And I guess tonight when I'm working and
you're at home, you'll be thinking

about me.

Well, I will now.

You know, I just thought of something.

When somebody's got a big family like I
have, it seems a shame not to share it.

So I was wondering... Yes?

Would you work for me tonight?

Would I? Look, Mary, I wouldn't ask you
if you were going home to your family,

but what's Christmas Eve to you? You're
going to be all alone.

I'll trade you. I'll work New Year's Day
for you.

That way you'll be able to watch all the
football games.

Fred, I never... Look, Mary, please.

I've never spent Christmas Eve with my
kids.

Oh, Fred, that last part wasn't fair.

I know, but I'm desperate.

Mary, will you work for me tonight?

Oh, right.

Oh, thanks.

Will you at least cover for me while I
go home and have some dinner? Oh, sure,

sure. And, uh, Mary, I just want you to
know I feel terrible about this.

Good.

have this big package out here. So big
that I had to open the door first.

Now I am bringing this big package into
your apartment.

And I am placing it under your tree.

No, I'm not. I can't stand it. You got
to open it now, Mary.

It's for me? Yeah, for you. Merry
Christmas.

Should I open it now? Yeah, go on.

It looks like somebody already opened
it. I did. I opened it a few times.

Take a look at this fantastic gift.

Oh, Rhoda!

Oh, it's just... Isn't it great?

Oh, well. Listen, let me break you in on
it. You'll be able to get your license

and then solo in no time.

Miss Richards, this is your griddle
area.

Yeah.

If you wish to fry an egg. Yes. Then, of
course, here is your rotisserie.

If you wish to barbecue an egg. Uh -huh.

Then we have the oven.

For your basic baked egg. Yes.

What's this?

That's your egg. I knew it.

Mary, what do you think? Rhoda, I think
it is just wonderful, and I think you

spent too much money.

Don't worry.

I got an employee's discount down at the
store. Oh, thank goodness. Yeah.

Well, I have yours, and it's not half as
nice.

Forty percent is nice.

Well, it's not too big, is it?

And you paid full price, right? Yes.

Hey, you know what this will go great
with? My new suit.

What, you think this is an accident? Why
do you think I picked it out?

Oh, kid.

Thanks. I love it. Hey, me too.

Thanks. Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas to you.

Hey, you know what else my new blouse
will go great with? What? Your

Huh? I can wear it while you cook a
turkey in there. I bought one for us for

tonight. I'll go get it. Uh, Rhoda,
wait.

Uh, listen, how fast...

you think that thing can cook a turkey?

Why? Because I have to leave for the
office in ten minutes. For what?

To work.

What?

I traded with a man so that he could be
with his... I don't even want to go into

it. Terrific.

Wonderful. You get me all hyped up for
Christmas Eve and then you run out like

this. What am I supposed to do? Stand
out in the snow and light matches?

Will you please? You know, this has been
a rough week and the worst part is just

about to begin.

Okay, kid. Listen.

I'll see you later tonight.

No, I have to work till midnight.

Oh. Well, then I'll see you tomorrow.

I can't. I'm working tomorrow. It's
Christmas.

And now this final Yuletide item.

We have just received word from a U .S.
radar base in northernmost Alaska that

an unusual flying object's been sighted.
A sleigh with eight tiny reindeer.

Piloting the vehicle, a man who was
overheard to say, Ho, ho, ho.

Anyone knowing the identity of this man,
please contact the nearest child.

This is Ted Baxter saying, Merry
Christmas to you and yours, from me

mine.

Murray, did you write that last part?
No.

As a matter of fact, that's the only
news story Ted ever wrote in his life.

does it every year. He even had
thousands of copies printed up for

write in requesting it.

He still has thousands of copies.

Well, I better get going.

Merry Christmas.

You too.

Oh, Mary!

How could you let Fred talk you into
working Christmas Eve?

I mean, it's bad enough you can't go
home, but working tonight?

It's all right. Look, Fred has a family
to spend the evening with. Oh, his

family isn't so great. They bought an
aluminum tree this year.

Well, Mary.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Okay.

Mary!

Not much for you to check tonight.
Everything's pretty quiet.

Yeah, I know. Typical Christmas Eve.

There's an envelope for you on the desk
there.

Who's it from?

Me.

The crystal bells of Christmas bring
love and cheer tonight to wish for

Oh, Mr.

Grant, I really... I don't know what to
buy, because you get yourself something.

Mr. Grant, I can't... accept this. Sure
you can.

But a blank check.

What? Huh?

That's a mistake.

Why don't I just wait outside while you
go? No!

Merry Christmas.

Thank you, Mr. Grant.

Uh, Mary, it's none of my business why
you're working for Fred on Christmas

but... Yes, it is, Mr. Grant. You're
head of the newsroom. No, I don't want

to be my business.

Because if it is, then I have to feel
responsible for you being here all

Oh, Mr. Grant, thank you. But I'm not
going to be alone.

The cleaning crew will be coming around.

No, they won't. They don't work on
Christmas Eve.

Well, uh...

Then there's the night watchman.

Uh -uh. There's only one man on duty
tonight, and he has to stay downstairs

the lobby.

Well, it's comforting, then, to know
that there'll be somebody only 12 floors

away.

Look, I got some paperwork I can do.
I'll stay.

You go on home. No, no, Mr. Grant. You
know, it would make it a lot easier on

if everyone would just stop feeling
sorry for me and go home and have a

Christmas. Okay, okay.

See you tomorrow.

Okay.

Take care of yourself.

You too.

connected to. Where are you?

a good joke.

Oh, yeah.

There were these two guys and they're
walking down this big alley.

What's your name again?

Uh, Mary.

I can't tell it to you.

Well, can we talk about something else?

I don't know what to say to you. I've
never spoken to you before.

Uh, Charlie, do you have any family?

Nothing but.

Four kids, nine grandkids.

Yeah, I bet you wish you could be with
them tonight, huh?

I will be in about 15 minutes.

The whole family's meeting over at my
son Paul's place.

Every year we have a real old -fashioned
Christmas.

He'll get the kids up and they'll open
up some of their presents.

Do you have any family?

Well, uh, not tonight, I don't know.

It was really nice talking to you,
Charlie.

Same here.

Merry Christmas.

You too.

Hello, Rhoda.

Listen, there's not supposed to be
anyone in the building, and I just heard

elevator.

Rhoda, I can't call the police.

What am I going to tell them, that I
heard an elevator?

I can't call the police until the
murderer gets off the elevator.

There he is.

He's off the elevator.

He's brought his gang.

Rhoda, listen.

You were my best friend, and I really
liked your Christmas present.

a surprise. Were you surprised?

Oh!

Hello, Newsroom.

Season's greeting.

What do you mean, is this the murderer?

That's for me.

You're the murderer?

Ruda, yes, everything's fine.

Yes, of course, I'm sure.

No, nobody's forcing me to say that.

It's just Mr. Grant and Ted and Murray.
I don't know why they're here.

Well, We're at a Christmas party.

They're having a Christmas party. No,
no, no. We're having a Christmas party.

All of us. We are. Yes.

He wanted to come down.

All right. We'll see you in a little
while.

Merry Christmas to you, too. Bye.

Oh, Mr. Grant.

It's Christmas Eve. What's the
difference?

The difference is that the general
manager has a habit of calling at two

to midnight to wish the night man a
Merry Christmas.

If the night man isn't here... You mean
we have to kill a half hour here? Well,

let's make good use of it. Come on, I
got some paperwork I can take care of.

Well, I guess I can write some fillers
for tomorrow night's show.

I think I'll go listen to my album.

Hey, Mary, can you type this up again?
Oh, sure.
