All language subtitles for 7th Heaven s10e11 Xmas

Hark the herald angels sing, glory to
the newborn

king. Peace on earth and mercy mild, God
and

sinners reconciled. I can't believe
those idiots talked my parents into a

two -week escrow just so they could move
in before Christmas.

This holiday season stinks.

Maybe I should just stay with Lucy and
Kevin. Oh, no, you don't.

I am not staying with the Camdens all by
myself.

You're not leaving me alone with those
people.

Those people are soon going to be your
people.

Still, I'm just not ready to spend
Christmas with the Camden people and

Simon. I don't know why he had to stay
at school and work. It's Christmas.

See that ring on your finger?

That's why he had to stay at school and
work.

And where are you taking me? You have to
see this.

I saw them when I was on my way to pick
you up.

Look at them.

Isn't it horrible?

Horrible?

What is so horrible about that?

I think it's wonderful.

I just don't get it.

Don't get?

Are they begging?

Are they begging?

No. That's the nativity scene.

The birth of Christ.

What, did you not go to church before
you met Simon?

No. Did you?

Yeah, I did.

When I was a little girl, my mom and I
used to go.

You didn't have Christmas in your home?
Of course we had Christmas.

We just didn't have the Christ part.

And we weren't usually home. We always
went skiing somewhere.

Oh, my God.

What if they try to drag us into the
Christ part of Christmas while we're

staying at their house?

I kind of doubt they're going to do
that.

They haven't pushed their religion on us
yet. I don't think they're going to

start now.

Well, maybe this is the time of year
when they recruit people.

I'm single and pregnant and a former
drug addict and alcoholic. I don't think

I'm recruitable.

Hmm. Right.

I hadn't thought about that.

Maybe they're just after me.

In which case, I have to convince them
that I've already been gotten.

That's the only way to put them off.

Look, if they ask me anything about
Christmas, you cover for me. I don't

that much about it myself.

Okay, then. We'll just bluff our way
through.

Bluff our way through Christmas with a
family with two Christian ministers in

it. It's not like we're bluffing our way
through brain surgery with two

surgeons. Why don't we just tell them we
don't know that much about Christmas,

but we'd love to know more?

No, no, no. Again, that would only give
them the opportunity to talk to us. We

don't want that.

If we want to know something, we can
probably squeeze the little ones for

information. I don't think there's going
to be a test.

But come on, you celebrated Christmas
when you were a kid, right?

So what are you?

I'm more of a Christmasite.

I like Santa Claus.

I like having time off from school.

I like the presents and the lights and
the fudge and all that stuff.

I just don't get what all that stuff has
to do with that.

When I see their happy faces smiling
back at me.

On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true
love sent to me twelve drummers

drumming, eleven pipers piping, ten
lords a -leaping, nine ladies dancing,

maids a -milking, seven swans a
-swimming, six geese a -laying, five

rings, four calling birds, three...
French hens, two turtle doves, and a

partridge in a pear tree.

Thank you, Guano.

Rose, Sandy, come on in and join us.

Thanks for letting us stay here.

Sandy didn't want to come, but I told
her it would be fun.

Well, we're so happy you're both here. I
wish you could have come by the

promenade for the nativity scene.

The three of us could have been the
three wise women. But maybe tomorrow

I don't know. Maybe. But thank you for
asking us. Oh, but it's a canon family

tradition. We would love for you to be
part of it. And maybe Simon will get

tomorrow night in time to join us. Just
pick anyone you want to be. Oh, well,

that'd be so special. And we'd love to.
But actually...

Bless you.

I must be coming down with something.

Or maybe I'm allergic to something.

I think it's... that.

The Christmas tree?

Why don't we go into the kitchen, I'll
make some tea, and we can have Christmas

cookies. Then I'll take the boys
upstairs and help them get ready for

then I'll be right back. Come on.

Look, I hope my staying here won't
interfere with any plans you might have

Martin. Oh, no, Martin's with his dad in
New York.

His aunt lives there, his dad's sister.

Oh, so he won't be around.

Not this Christmas break.

But you shouldn't worry about that.

Everything will be fine.

Thank you, Ruthie.

Merry Christmas.

I'm glad you're here. Merry Christmas.
You too.

Don't be sad. It's Christmas.

Everything will be fine.

You'll see.

Well, good morning, Santa.

I don't know how I got roped into this.
Oh, that's right. It was you.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas to you, too. And thank
you.

So you're really going to take it down?
Have to. Rose is allergic.

Yeah, well... We don't need a tree, you
know? I can hang the lights and put the

ornaments all around the room and it'll
be fine, really. Really, it will.

I'm sure it will, but... But, look, you
know, tonight is Christmas Eve.

And, uh...

We have lots of work to do, so we can't
just stand around, you know, mourning

the loss of the tree when we have so
many reasons to be happy. Really, we do.

You're right.

See you later.

Oh, you look so cute.

I was going for sexy.

Kidding.

Do I look like one of Santa's helpers?

Absolutely. You should be very proud of
yourself for volunteering to spend today

at a hospital.

I didn't have much choice, really.

Caitlin's dad insisted that I come to
the party for the cystic fibrosis

patients, and since she's living with
CF, I couldn't really say it would be

hard for me to come visit with the sick
children and help out. Know what I mean?

I know exactly what you mean. How's
Caitlin doing?

I don't know. I didn't talk to her, and
her dad didn't say, so I guess I'll find

out when I see her. We'll be sure and
tell her Merry Christmas from all of us,

okay? Of course.

Are you sure you'll be okay?

Yeah, I'll be fine.

We better get going. We have a lot to
do.

Merry Christmas.

Oh, you two look so adorable.

I'm supposed to look jolly.

She's adorable.

We'll see you tonight?

Okay. I can't wait. Savannah's first
Christmas.

I've got all the cameras charged, and
I'm ready to go.

You're sure you don't want a dog for
Christmas?

Yes, I'm sure.

Okay, you're probably right, but I
really want a dog.

I thought you said Savannah wanted a
dog.

Both of us.

We both want a dog, don't we, Savannah?

You know, lots of people think it would
be really great to have a dog at

Christmas.

And they're so cute and cuddly with a
big red bow on them on Christmas

And then a couple of weeks later after
the holiday spirit has worn off and

everything has gone back to the way it
was, and then the people don't want the

dog. And then the poor dog has to be
given away or taken to a rescue service

to the local pound.

I would never do that. I've always
wanted a dog. All right, well, I'm not

totally against it. Let's just wait
until after the holidays and see if you

still feel the same way.

See, you want a dog too. Admit it.

I do, but I want to wait until the
holidays are over.

All right.

A dog would look great in a photo, but I
guess we'll wait if that's what you

think we should do.

That's what I think we should do.

You two better get going.

Merry Christmas, Luz.

Merry Christmas, Kevin.

And Merry Christmas, Savannah.

We love you.

We'll see you later. Have a good day.

And this would be... Joseph.

He was a carpenter. And he is... Mary's
husband.

See? This is Mary.

He must not have been a very good
carpenter because they're living in a

Don't you know that it's not their home?
It's the innkeeper's stable.

I was testing you.

It's so obvious with all the animals
around.

And you know who these three gentlemen
are, right?

The three wise men. They traveled from
the east to see baby Jesus.

They bought gifts of gold, frankincense,
and myrrh. And parsley, sage, rosemary,

and thyme.

I don't think so.

I know. I was joking.

Hey, you guys.

So what's going on in here?

Rose is playing a game with us. A
Christmas game. She's testing our

knowledge.

Want to play?

No, thanks. Not right now.

Right now, I need to speak to Rose for a
second.

Do you know that Mrs. Camden is taking
down their Christmas tree because you're

allergic? Oh, great.

Great? Now the Camdens aren't going to
have a Christmas tree on Christmas Eve.

Which means they've had a Christmas tree
for weeks, and Christmas is almost

over. Christmas is just starting.

Tonight. Tonight on Christmas Eve.

Yeah, there's tonight, and then
tomorrow, and that's it.

Sales at the mall start bright and early
Monday morning.

We should go. You need everything.

You haven't bought one thing for the
baby.

Look, I know that, but you couldn't just
live with their Christmas tree for 24

hours. You couldn't take an allergy
medicine or something?

I could, but I'm not going to have to.

Camptons can't have Christmas without a
Christmas tree.

Oh, sure they can.

My family always had Christmas in a
hotel room without a Christmas tree.

Now that I think of it, that's probably
why I didn't know Christmas trees make

me sneeze.

Rose, this isn't your family.

For the Camdens, this is the biggest day
of the year.

That's what you'd think.

But as it turns out, they don't even buy
each other gifts for Christmas.

No, they don't. They make each other
something for Christmas.

Or they give each other something they
already have. Or they sell something

have to buy something else.

And this year, this year they're doing
something even better.

They're each donating their time to help
others today.

That's how they're spending Christmas.

It's helping others.

What others?

Others in need at Christmas time.

That's what you and I should be doing,
Rose.

They don't expect us to do anything. We
just got here.

And we didn't know they'd be helping
others.

That's not the point.

What's the point?

The point is, it's Christmas time, and
we don't even know what Christmas is

about, Rose.

You might not know what Christmas is
about, but I know.

At least I'm finding out.

Do you want to keep playing?

Yes, I love playing this game.

Let's see, what else can I ask you?

Oh, I know.

What's the difference in Santa Claus and
Jesus?

Do you know the difference?

Of course I know the difference.

I'm not sure you do.

Me neither. Let us ask you some
questions.

Cameron, is there anything I can do to
help?

Oh, thank you, Sandy, but I'm just
finishing up. Then I'm going to put the

turkey in the oven, and then the boys
and I will be on our way.

There must be something I can do.

No,

really, I think we've got everything
under control. We're sort of

organized this year.

I think because we knew we'd be away
today.

I feel badly I'm sitting around doing
nothing when you guys are all not

Sandy, you've been in school all
semester.

You're having a baby.

You need to rest and relax and enjoy
yourself.

Everyone will be home early tonight, and
we can all have dinner, and then we'll

go to the promenade to do our nativity
scene.

Would you like to be in it? We've got
plenty of costumes.

That's okay.

I don't really think anything will fit
me.

Oh, sure, something would fit you.

Who do you want to be?

I usually play Mary, but this year
Lucy's taking over because, of course,

Savannah's baby Jesus.

There's a wise man, an angel. You want
to be an angel?

We used to string Ruthie up for that,
but now she's gotten too big.

Me as an angel?

Sure, why not?

I'm no angel.

Oh, gosh, yes you are.

You know, I'm not exactly a Christian.

I'm more of a Christmasite, as Rose
likes to call it.

That's fine by me.

You can still be an angel if you want
to. There are no prerequisites for being

in our nativity.

Just something we do every year. Aren't
we supposed to go?

As soon as I put the turkey in the oven.

And would you please let Rose know that
we'd like her to be in the nativity with

us, too?

Come on, boys. We've got work to do.

We need to stop by and see Santa again.

Oh, why is that?

We just need to see him.

Well, come on. What's going on?

We want to make sure he's real.

Rose thinks Santa isn't real.

He's just from a story.

Like Jesus.

She doesn't believe in Santa Claus or
Jesus.

That's terrible.

That's terrible.

What, Rose doesn't believe in anything,
not even Santa Claus?

No. Maybe it was because she was a bad
little girl and Santa never brought her

anything. Oh, or...

Or maybe Rose just never experienced the
magic and the wonder of Christmas.

I'll go see if I can explain it to her.

Well, Sandy, you can't really explain
Christmas. You just have to experience

I think Rose is just going to have to
figure it out on her own.

Okay, come on, boys. We've got work to
do.

I'll see you later. Merry Christmas.
Yeah, Merry Christmas.

Rockin' around the Christmas tree at the
Christmas party house.

Mistletoe on the way, you can see every
little star.

Rockin' around the Christmas tree, let
the Christmas spirit ring.

Are you married?

Excuse me? Are you married?

Yes, I am.

What? Beg pardon?

Merry Christmas.

Merry

Christmas.

Adopted. Went to a really nice home.

That's great.

Merry Christmas.

Hey, Camden.

Caitlin?

You look great.

Santa brought me a new set of lungs last
Christmas.

You had a lung transplant?

Thanks to my dad and our friend Kathy
Oswald, who donated parts of their lungs

to me.

You look great.

Merry Christmas. A very Merry Christmas.

But the merriest Christmas of all will
be when they find a cure for CF.

Annie made it for you.

Oh, that's great.

I love it.

You know, after ten consecutive days of
canned fruit compote for dessert, I

couldn't ask for a better Christmas
present.

Merry Christmas.

And Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Santa asked me to drop these off.

Well, it isn't much, but we wanted to do
something.

Thank you, and Merry Christmas.

Excuse me, did Kevin and Savannah... Oh,
no, but he went to a good home.

I'm sure.

Merry Christmas.

Thanks, Santa.

Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas.

Are you

insane?

No one's here other than us.

I figured I could take as long as I
wanted to get ready.

It's not like I'll have a chance to get
in there when all the Camdens get home.

What? I wasn't going to say anything,
but I just, I can't help myself. Did you

tell the boys that there's no Santa?

And, even worse, that there's no Jesus?

Not exactly, no.

Well, what did you tell them?

What are you, the Christmas police?

They told Annie.

I thought they were old enough to keep
our little discussion to themselves.

They're not even seven years old.

And yet they accused me of not knowing
the difference between Santa Claus and

the Christ child.

Well, they accused you.

Weren't you the one who warned me we
were dealing with a family of experts?

What is wrong with you?

Look, I didn't know they would turn the
game on me. I was just trying to find

out who all those people are in the
nativity scene in case we actually get

into going there tonight and we have to
choose a character.

They're not characters.

That's a story based on history. They're
real people.

Come on.

The wise men are real.

What guy do you know would walk for days
to go see a newborn baby and take him a

gift? Have you ever even seen a guy at a
baby shower?

I don't know. I've never been to a baby
shower.

I've never had a baby shower.

But Rose, these people are trying to
give us a nice Christmas.

And first you have their tree taken
down.

Then you tell the little children that
there's no Santa. And then, then you

them what?

That there's no Christ child born in a
manger.

So what? It's still Christmas.

All right, you boys go upstairs and get
your costumes ready, okay? And then

we'll have dinner and go to promenade.

Okay.

Hello?

Mom, did you know that the electricity
is off?

What electricity?

The electricity we use to cook.

Check the turkey.

Oh, no!

Oh, no!

Yeah, oh, no.

What are we going to do for Christmas
Eve dinner?

I mean, this is Savannah's first
Christmas.

Hi.

Look, I'm sorry about the little...

Misunderstanding with the boys.

Did you mean to cook that?

The electricity went off this afternoon.

I'm afraid so.

I dragged the Christmas tree out to the
curb for you, and some guy came around a

curb and boom, right into the telephone
pole.

I'm hanging up.

Well, fortunately, no one was hurt.

And if I hadn't pointed out that I
smelled alcohol, there could have been a

lawsuit. Oh, well, thank you. And you're
right. You know, no one was hurt.

Thankfully. They said they'd have the
power back on by now, but I guess that's

not happening.

Maybe we could all go out to dinner.

You've all eaten out at a restaurant
before, right?

Rose, it's very important that we all be
together in this nativity scene, and if

we go out to dinner, we won't have time
to get to the promenade. I think I'm

going to stay at the house and wait for
Simon.

Rose, I wasn't going to tell you this.
It was going to be a surprise, but I

really am desperate, and I need you.

You're trying to recruit me, aren't you?

Oh, yes, I am, Rose.

I better get this costume off.

Ah, good idea.

I'll do the same.

Is it me, or does it seem to be a little
dark in here?

I don't think it's just you.

What's going on with the lights?

There's no electricity.

Oh, no, so there's no Christmas dinner?
I'm sure your mom will figure out

something. Yeah, Annie will figure it
out. Say, did you and Rose decide what

want to be at the live nativity tonight
at the Promenade?

Can I?

Talk to you alone.

Sure.

Something wrong?

Are you okay?

Is it a Christmas thing?

Yeah, it's a Christmas thing.

I feel funny talking to you about this
when you're Santa Claus.

All right, I know what this is about.

Santa and Jesus. Yeah, I...

I talked to Annie this afternoon. She
caught up with me at one of my stops and

told me what happened with the boys. You
know, a lot of people feel conflicted

about having Christmas with Santa, you
know, when Christmas is really about

Christ and Christianity and something
that's real. And they see Santa Claus as

something that's made up, and they're
afraid their children will see the two

the same thing and get all confused like
Rose. But I've never really known that

to happen to anyone.

Other than Rose, I don't know. I've
always felt

that Santa's real.

The history of St. Nicholas is all about
Christian beliefs and giving and

sharing. It's about God giving to us and
all of us giving to others. As long as

we're doing that, we're keeping God's
teachings alive.

I've always felt that all of us
Christians should just hold tightly to

all the traditions around Santa Claus.

He's a good way of reminding people
about the spirit of giving, especially

giving to children.

There's magic in doing for others, and
that's the magic of Christmas, for me

anyway, for me and my family.

Wow.

That's really interesting.

Not what I was going to talk to you
about, but really interesting.

I'm sorry.

I was trying to make it easy for you to
talk to me by talking to you, and I

completely misread you.

What did you want to talk about?

Well, I think I'm what Rose calls a
Christmasite.

I've always enjoyed the holidays as a
way of getting instead of giving.

And watching you and your family and
just being invited to be part of your

Christmas.

Seeing how generous you are, not just at
Christmas time, but all year long.

Seeing the kind of daughter that you've
raised in Lucy.

And being so grateful to her for helping
me.

And never asking for me to do anything
or to believe what she believes or what

you all believe.

I don't want to be a Christmasite
anymore.

I want to be part of the community that
gives.

Because I've been so blessed this
Christmas.

So, I guess what I'm trying to say,
Santa Claus, is this.

I think I've decided to convert to
Christianity.

Are you sure you didn't do that just to
make up for what I said earlier about

Santa and Jesus?

No, I didn't. I did it because I was
moved to do it. Oh, Sandy.

Sandy, I told you this is the time of
year when they recruit people.

No, it's not, and they don't do that.

Look, it's Christmas, Rose.

It's the perfect time of year for me to
start my life over.

It's the perfect time of year for me to
think about my baby and what I want for

my baby.

It's the perfect time of year for me to
be happy and...

Enjoy the gift of life.

Yes, and fudge.

Don't forget the fudge.

Perfect time of year for fudge.

You go, Sandy.

Go to the nativity.

Go start your new life with your new
religion and your new friends.

Please come.

I really can't. It's just not for me.

Everyone's going to be there.

And if Simon gets home in time, he's
going to go there too. You're going to

everything. No, I won't.

You'll all be back in a couple of hours.

And a couple hours after that, we'll all
go to bed. And a couple of days after

that, it'll all be over and things will
be back to normal.

All right.

See you later.

Merry Christmas, Rose.

And Happy New Year.

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

I had a little emergency at the house.

Thank you so much for calling me. I am
so excited that this worked out after

all. It's okay. I have nowhere else to
go. Let me get your little guy.

Did they say why they brought him back?

They didn't, but he wasn't surprised,
and no one should surprise anyone at

Christmas with a dog.

People should choose their own family
members, you know what I mean?

I know what you mean. Of course, you
know, I haven't met the dog, but Kevin

crazy about him, so I'm sure I'll love
him.

Hi there, fella.

What's your name?

Oh, you're so cute.

Don't worry.

Someone will come and get you very soon.

What is that?

This here is Samson. He's the one Kevin
and Savannah fell in love with.

And who's this?

We call her Delilah because she's in the
kennel next to him.

She'll be okay.

She's got a few more weeks.

A few more weeks.

Reverend Kinkirk, you know we can't keep
them all.

You don't have to bring us anything.

We have everything we need.

But you must want something.

We just wanted to see you again to make
sure you're a real Santa Claus.

Yeah, just to make sure.

Well, as you can see, I'm the real
thing.

Ho, ho, ho!

Merry Christmas, boys.

Wait, we forgot to ask you something.
How come some kids don't get anything on

Christmas Eve?

Because I don't have enough help or
enough toys.

I try to do it all myself, but I just
can't. I do the best I can.

Yeah, but why can't you get more toys to
the kids that don't have anything?

If the children who have too many toys
would give toys to the children who

have any toys, then we could get toys to
a lot more children. Maybe not all of

them. But a lot more.

How do children who have toys give to
children who don't have toys?

Well, Toys for Tots is one good way.

You can donate any new toys to Toys for
Tots, and police officers and

firefighters will help me to find the
right home for those toys.

Well, if you can't give toys to every
child now, how are you going to give

to even more children?

Well, I'll just get more help.

From elves?

No. From moms and dads and volunteers
and all kinds of people.

Not elves.

They're like elves, but bigger.

Okay, thanks, Santa.

Merry Christmas, Santa.

Ho, ho, ho!

Come on, Noah.

How are you? Step on up.

Well? Santa Claus is like Robin Hood, at
least this one is.

What's so... real story on Santa Claus?

Yeah, what's the real story?

Well, we should go, but all right, sit
down just for a minute, and I'll tell

you.

There once was a man named Nicholas, and
he was born in a country that we now

call Turkey.

And Nicholas's parents were very wealthy
people, and they were Christians. They

took Nicholas to church, just like mommy
and I take you to church.

But unfortunately, Nicholas' parents
both died when he was still just a very

little boy. But he inherited all of his
parents' wealth. And even when he was

still just a young man, he used all of
his money and everything that he'd been

left to help other people. And he
dedicated his life to serving God.

became known to everyone for his
generosity and for all the wonderful

did for children in need.

But when he was older...

The Christians in his country became
persecuted.

And Nicholas was sent to prison with a
lot of other Christians.

And after he died, people celebrated the
day of his death as a day to remember

him and his generosity, especially
toward children.

And people started giving in his name,
just as he had given in the name of

Christ. And Nicholas is still celebrated
in the form of St. Nick, or as we call

him, Santa Claus.

He died on Christmas?

The 24th or the 25th? No, I think it was
December 6th, but it's not the dates

that are important. What's important is
that Nicholas practiced what Jesus

taught and what he learned in church.
And he gave, and he gave, and he gave

that he could to everyone he could, just
as he had been taught.

And we continue to keep the spirit of
Christianity alive by celebrating

birth and by giving whatever we can of
ourselves.

to other people, whether that's our
money or our time or our love and

friendship. And that's what we're doing
tonight when we all gather for the

nativity scene where we should be right
now. Let's run. We've got to change into

our costumes.

The slightest idea.

I want to thank all of you for the gift
of your time tonight, members and non

-members alike. And I want to thank all
of you for living the teachings of our

faith by giving to those who are in
need.

As we do each Christmas season, we at
Glen Oak Community Church have chosen

family. to support with a monthly check
from our family fund. Now, as most of

you know, our church is supported
entirely by tithing. And with the Sunday

collections and our fundraisers, we try
to set aside enough money for family

emergencies and also for this one
Christmas gift that lasts all year long.

This Christmas season, I was very happy
and surprised when Lou came to me with

the name of a family that I've come to
know.

very well these past few months and yet
a family that most of you don't know but

have only seen and heard about.

We are not unlike the visitors who came
to Bethlehem bearing gifts for the

Christ child.

We too are filled with joy and the hope
of a better world with the birth of each

and every precious child.

Congratulations, Sandy.

This year you and your family will have
the support of our church.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas, Simon.

Did you just get to Glen Oak?

You missed the nativity?

Well, I went by there, but the whole
thing was already set up, so I just

out. I didn't want to be there without
you.

So Mom said you were helping with
dinner?

Can you believe it? She asked me to
help. No one ever asks me to help.

Where'd you get the cake?

Where'd I get a seven -layer chocolate
cake with whipped cream between the

layers and dark chocolate frosting on
Christmas Eve?

I made it.

No.

Really? Really.

I can cook.

Merry Christmas. That's my gift to you.

Dinner and letting you know I can cook.

You can cook?

I went to cooking school in Italy.

Florence. My mother and I.

I just don't like to cook unless I have
a real kitchen, and this is close to

being a real kitchen, so... So you made
Christmas dinner for all of us?

Yes, I did.

It's late, so I told your mom we should
eat in our pajamas.

Don't you think that'll be fun?

Good idea.

It's not a traditional Christmas meal,
but it's kind of festive.

It's red and green.

It's beautiful.

And you're beautiful.

This is our first Christmas together.

I love you.

I love you too.

Merry Christmas, Simon.

I thought we weren't giving anyone
presents. I thought we all just donated

time.

What's that?

This is a sweet little girl for our
sweet little girl.

I got her for Savannah for Christmas.

Oh.

Isn't she cute?

Yeah, she's cute.

Her name is Delilah.

Delilah.

I got her at the SPCA. She was in this
kennel right next to this big, ugly dog

named Samson.

Yeah, I know.

I mean, I like her, but I really wanted
the big, ugly dog named Samson.

I know.

Samson!

Yes! Savannah, look, it's Samson!

I love you. I love you, too.

Do we really get to keep old dog?

Why not?

Merry Christmas, Liz. Merry Christmas,
Kevin.

And Merry First Christmas, Savannah.

In those days, Caesar Augustus issued a
decree that a census should be taken of

the entire Roman world.

And everyone went to his own town to
register.

So Joseph also went up from the town of
Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to

Bethlehem, the town of David, because he
belonged to the house and line of

David. He went there to register with
Mary, who was pledged to be married to

and was expecting a child.

While they were there, the time came for
the baby to be born, and she gave birth

to her firstborn, a hun.

She wrapped him in cloths and placed him
in a manger because there was no room

for them in the inn.

And there were shepherds living out in
the fields nearby, keeping watch over

their flocks at night.

An angel of the Lord appeared to them,
and the glory of the Lord shone around

them, and they were terrified. But the
angel said to them, Do not be afraid.

I bring you news of great joy.

that will be for all the people.

Today, in the town of David, a Savior
has been born to you.

He is Christ the Lord.

This will be a sign to you.

You will find a baby, wrapped in cloth,
lying in a manger.

Suddenly, a great company of the
heavenly host appeared with the angel,

God and saying, Glory to God in the
highest.

And on earth, Peace to all on whom his
favor rests.
