[narrator] Happy Ha-Ha Holidays.

Ooh, ooh. Hot, hot, hot. [gasps]

Whew!

It's Christmas Eve, and we're baking holiday cookies.

Smitty, Smitty, Smitty!

Hey, little buddy.

Are you getting ready for the holidays, too?

Come on. [grunts]

[chuckles]

Smitty, Smitty, can you help me?

-No problem, little buddy. -Yeah, right there.

Aw, Smitty, you put it on my head.

Put it on the tree, not on my head. You know what I mean?

Ha!

Okay, ready?

[grunts and laughs]

Happy holidays, Smitty.

-Happy holidays, little buddy. -[Warehouse Mouse chuckles]

[Rich exhales]

-Okay. -[knocking at door]

A customer! [chuckles]

On Christmas Eve?

This must be really important!

[bell jingles]

[Rich chuckles]

[Scott shivering]

Well, that's weird.

It's kind of cold.

Nobody here.

[Dave] Brrr, "snowbody" there.

That's weird.

[Dave] Very weird.

[Rich] Knocking and no one's there.

I don't understand. It's crazy.

[gasps]

Hey! Aren't you Santy Claus?

That's right. I am.

And you must be Mover Scott.

And you must be Rich. And Dave, and Smitty.

Wow!

-[all exclaim] -[Scott] Amazing!

Y-You know our names, and we didn't even tell you.

You really must be Santa.

Oh, of course I know who you are.

Do you still have that cute, little fuzzy teddy bear

I got you when you were four years old?

Freddie Bear!

Of course I still have him.

I sleep with him every night.

Oh. [laughs]

And what about your, um--

Oh! Captain commander space helmet.

Roger.

Still fits. [grunts]

Kind of.

-[Rich] And look, Santa. -Huh?

I've still got the very first football you gave me.

-[both] Touchdown! -[Rich chuckles]

Santa, Santa, Santa!

Oh! Warehouse Mouse!

Oh, I bet you want a big wedge of cheese this year.

Yep. [speaks gibberish]

[Warehouse Mouse laughing]

[sniffing]

Oh. Do I smell cookies?

Mmm!

Oh, no!

[groans] I don't have time for that.

I am in a very big hurry.

-You sure are. It's Christmas Eve. -Yeah.

That's right.

And I've got a problem.

Oh. Everything is on schedule and ready to go,

except for one thing.

My laugh.

You mean, your [in deep voice] "Ho ho ho."

Yep. That's the very one.

There is something wrong with my usual jolly old laugh.

Oh, I'll show you. Um... can you do something funny?

Ooh. Uh...

[Dave inhales]

-[blowing raspberry] -[all laugh]

Hee-hee-hee-hee!

Hee-hee-hee! Ugh.

Yup, there's definitely something wrong with your laugh all right.

You're not "ho-ho-hoing."

No matter how hard I try,

all I can muster is a measly "hee-hee-hee."

[Santa groans]

And on Christmas Eve of all nights.

I have got to get my jolly old laugh back.

Uh-huh!

Well, that's why I've come to you, the Imagination Movers.

Oh, I have got a--

[Movers] Problem!

It's not just a problem. It's an--

[Movers] Idea Emergency!

[alarm blaring]

We have to help Santa...

Get his "ho ho ho" back.

So he can be his jolly old self on Christmas Eve.

And that means we need some good ideas.

[together] Let's brainstorm!

Hee-hee-hee! Oh...

-Reach high. -Think big.

-Work hard. -Have fun.

Who's got an idea?

Well, we know Santa can laugh, but it's not the right kind of laugh.

-No. "Hee-hee-hee." -Rich is right.

Let's take a look and see what kind of laughs there are.

Yeah.

[giggling]

-Ooh, there are giggles. -[all] Hmm.

[chuckling]

[Smitty] Chuckles.

[Scott chuckles softly]

Guffaws.

[laughing hysterically]

Guffaw?

What's a guffaw?

It's a funny-sounding word, guffaws.

[guffawing]

I think I just guffawed.

Yeah, I think you did.

-Ooh. -[Santa laughing]

Then there's Santa's "ho ho ho."

That is the biggest laugh of all.

Well, if Santa's "ho ho ho" is the biggest laugh there is,

maybe he just needs to laugh harder to get it out.

-[Santa] Oh. -Yeah.

We've got to show him something really funny.

[fanfare plays]

Hey, Puppet Scott.

Yeah?

What do you call an elf wearing earmuffs?

Anything you want. He can't hear ya.

Yeah!

[laughter]

Heard it.

Maybe this'll work.

["Jingle Bells" playing]

["Shave and a Haircut" playing]

[Rich] Hmm.

I don't think this is working.

Can you guys try something funny?

[Scott chuckles]

Mimes. Very funny!

[Rich gasps] Oh...

-Hee-hee-hee! -[Scott] Oh.

[Rich flaps lips]

But not funny enough.

He still can't... "Ho ho ho."

-[bell jingles] -Hi, guys!

[Movers] Nina!

I brought the milk. Are the...

cookies...

Is... that...

[whispering] Yeah.

[giggles]

Wow.

Did she say "milk and cookies"? [chuckles]

And guess what else.

-Santy Claus is our customer. -[gasps]

Yeah. He can't do his usual "ho ho ho," so we're trying to help him get it back.

But we haven't come up with anything funny enough yet.

No "ho ho ho" at all?

Nope.

Hmm.

It's too bad you guys don't have, like, a big, silly room

with all kinds of funny stuff in it.

[Movers] Of course!

The big, silly room with all kinds of funny stuff in it!

There has gotta be something in there that'll get that big laugh out of Santa.

-Come on! -Let's go!

-Oh, but-- -Come on, Santa.

-But those cookies smell so good. -[Nina giggles]

Ooh, what do we have here, Santa?

A crazy mustache!

[babbling]

-[giggling] -Aw.

Ooh, ooh! How about this?

-[yelps] -Oh!

Hah!

Oh.

Yadda, yadda, yadda, ya!

[Smitty] Come on, Santa.

Check this out.

-[Santa laughing] -[Dave] Whoo!

-[Smitty] Yow! Look at that! -[laughter]

-[Santa] Oh. -[Dave and Smitty laugh]

Whoo!

Uh, what makes these funny?

[Warehouse Mouse chuckles]

Here. This is what makes these funny. [grunts]

-[Warehouse Mouse laughing] -[Dave exclaims]

You're a mousy, mousy rascal!

So why haven't we been able to make Santa laugh hard enough

to get his "ho ho ho" out?

We're... funny.

-[Scott grunts] -Oh, very funny.

Oh, but I am running out of time.

I mean, the reindeer are probably all hitched

and ready to go.

Well, what makes people laugh harder than anything else?

[Scott chuckling]

We already tried mimes, Nina. [sighs]

-Hey. -Yeah, there's got to be something--

[Warehouse Mouse] Tickle, tickle, tickle...

[chuckles] ...that makes people--

-Hey, that tickles! -Tickling. [chuckles]

That's it!

Tickling!

[gasps] Yeah!

Yeah.

Being tickled makes people laugh harder than anything else.

That's right. And we could try ticklin' that big ol' laugh out of Santa.

And I've got just the thing.

[laughing]

Ta-da!

Ta-da. Anyone?

It's a tickle barrel.

[all] Oh!

-[Nina] I knew that. -Okay. Boots.

-Oh. -[Nina] Okay.

-Check. -[Santa] Oh.

-Feet. Check. -[Santa] Whoa.

All right.

Super-tickly feathers.

Gotcha.

[Nina giggles]

-[whirring] -Oh.

Hee-hee-hee...

-More tickly feathers. -All right.

[Rich] More tickly feathers.

-Hee-hee-hee... -Here, my boa feather.

-Hee-hee-hee... -[Warehouse Mouse muttering]

[indistinct chatter]

[laughing continues]

Oh.

That really looks like fun.

[Nina] He's laughing as hard as he can.

-But still no "ho ho ho". -[barrel rumbling]

-Hee-hee-hee! -The needle's pegged!

It's on 11! I think it's gonna blow!

Ah! Ah! [continues laughing]

Oh. Oh. [groans]

I don't think I've ever laughed that hard in my entire life.

Maybe what's special about Santa's laugh

isn't that it's so loud or so big.

Maybe it's something else.

But what else is special about Santa's "ho ho ho"?

Hmm, that's a really good question.

Let's take another look.

-In your journal. -Yeah!

[Santa on journal] Ho ho ho!

[Scott] It's jolly!

-Yeah. A lot. -Jolly.

[Dave] And it repeats itself over and over.

Like, "ho ho,"

-and then... "ho!" -[all chuckle]

-[Nina] It sure does. -Oh, oh, it tickles my nose.

Well, I don't know why.

-It just does. -[Scott chuckles]

Okay.

It's really Christmasy.

-Yeah. -Yeah.

-It is Christmasy. -[Nina] Mmm-mm.

Maybe Santa's just not feeling enough of the holiday spirit.

Well, that's it!

If we can get Santa into more of a holiday mood,

he might be able to "ho ho ho," like a jolly old pro, you know?

-Yeah! -Yeah!

Well, the warehouse looks pretty Christmasy right now,

but we can do better.

-Come on! -[all] Yeah!

[Santa] Oh.

[Warehouse Mouse] Come on, Santa, sit down.

Sit down over here, Santa.

-Oh! -Yeah. [chuckles]

-So, Santa, how do you feel? -Hungry.

-[Scott laughing] -Those cookies.

Yeah, but how does it look?

Good.

Reminds me of home.

The North Pole.

Santa, is it Christmasy enough for you?

Well, there is one thing missing.

[Rich] Hmm.

-Whoa. -[Warehouse Mouse] Wow.

[Rich chuckles]

-[Rich] Oh, yeah. -Holiday cheer.

That was a good one.

-[Nina] Marshmallows. -Mmm.

Well, Santy, are you feeling nice and Christmasy now?

Yes, thanks.

I feel a lot more in the holiday spirit,

-thanks to your music. -[Nina] Yay.

In fact, I am ready to try it again.

-All right. -Cool.

Have you got something funny?

Ooh, Rich, Rich, wiggle your ears.

-Of course. -Oh, yeah. That's funny.

Whoo! You ready for this?

Hee-hee-hee!

Oh, I don't get it.

Am I doing something differently when I laugh?

Maybe if we compare how you're laughing now

with how you usually laugh, we'll find something.

That is a good idea, Nina.

Smitty, do you mind opening up your journal?

Santa, can you give us one more big laugh?

[inhales sharply]

-[over journal] Ho ho ho! -Hee-hee-hee!

-[laughing continues] -Eyes twinkling.

Merry dimples.

Mmm, rosy cheeks.

Everything looks the same.

[laughing continues]

Wait a minute.

There is something wrong. Look!

Santa's belly is supposed to shake when he laughs.

Yeah! Like a bowl full of jelly!

Hee-hee-hee...

[gasps] Oh, my word.

-[fabric rips] -[Rich] Oh!

[Nina gasps]

[laughing]

[Santa] Oh... [chuckles]

I... I think my pants are too tight.

Well, wait a minute.

Let's think about this.

If Santa's pants are too tight, then--

Then his belly can't shake when he laughs.

Right!

And he can't "ho ho ho."

[Scott] That's it!

Santa needs a new pair of pants.

[Movers] Yeah!

[grunts]

There's gotta be a pair of pants in here that'll fit you, Santa.

Yeah! And give your belly enough room to shake when you laugh.

-[Rich] Hmm. -I don't know about this one.

-Mmm-mmm. -[Nina] Uh...

[Nina gasps]

Those look perfect!

Just the right shade of red.

Ooh, and they're nice and stretchy, too.

Awesome.

I think it's time for Santa to try out his laugh again.

[Nina] Oh, yeah.

Now we just need something really funny to happen.

[Warehouse Mouse] ♪ Jingle pants, jingle pants ♪

-♪ Jingle all the way ♪ -[Smitty] My goodness.

♪ Oh, what fun it is to ride ♪

♪ In a one horse open sleigh, hey ♪

[laughing]

Oh, ho ho ho ho ho ho!

[gasps]

-[continues laughing] -[Nina gasps]

Oh, ho ho ho ho ho ho!

[all cheering]

We did it!

[Smitty] Oh, wow!

Oh, ho. Oh.

Another idea emergency solved!

[together] Yeah!

Whoo-hoo!

These pants sure are a lot more comfy.

You know,

I think I might have been eating a few too many Christmas cookies lately.

Cookies? Our cookies!

Mmm!

[Santa exclaims]

[Rich chuckles]

Would you like some milk and cookies, Santa?

-Oh, please. -Yeah, stay.

Oh, no. No, thank you, Movers.

From now on, I am sticking to celery sticks and carrots.

Besides, I really must dash along.

Oh. Thank you all so much.

Christmas would not have been possible without your help.

-And your pants. -[all laughing]

[Warehouse Mouse] Pants. Come on! Ooh, cookies. [chomps]

-Hey-- -Hey, wait, wait.

[all gasp]

[Dave] Where'd he go?

[chuckling]

Whoa.

[Santa] Ho ho ho!

Merry Christmas!

-[wind whooshes] -[all] Whoa!

-Bye, Santa! -Bye, Santa!

Bye-bye, Santa!

[honks]

-Bye! -[Smitty shivers]

Hey, guys, it's cold. Let's go get some cookies.

Yeah. Yummy! [giggles]
