Hester-sue.
12
00:01:26,173 --> 00:01:28,759
I was afraid
you weren't coming.
13
00:01:28,759 --> 00:01:29,594
I wouldn't miss
Christmas dinner
14
00:01:29,594 --> 00:01:31,262
with the folks,
you know that.
15
00:01:31,262 --> 00:01:32,972
Oh, is it starting
to turn cold?
16
00:01:32,972 --> 00:01:36,392
Would you help me?
I have some surprises
in the wagon.
17
00:01:36,392 --> 00:01:38,561
I hope you didn't
go spoiling those
young uns too much.
18
00:01:38,561 --> 00:01:40,438
Who said
it was for
the young uns?
19
00:01:40,438 --> 00:01:41,939
Charles: Now, come on.
It's Christmas.
20
00:01:41,939 --> 00:01:43,107
Who else is it going
to be for, huh?
21
00:01:43,107 --> 00:01:45,026
I don't know,
but you--
22
00:01:45,026 --> 00:01:46,527
Adam and Mary:
Merry Christmas!
23
00:01:46,527 --> 00:01:48,738
Adam.
24
00:01:48,738 --> 00:01:49,614
Mary! Oh, darling!
25
00:01:49,614 --> 00:01:51,616
Ha ha ha!
26
00:01:51,616 --> 00:01:53,618
Oh...
27
00:01:53,618 --> 00:01:55,578
Your ma's going to
have an attack
when she sees you.
28
00:01:55,578 --> 00:01:56,829
Come on.
29
00:01:56,829 --> 00:01:58,789
Caroline!
30
00:01:58,789 --> 00:02:01,459
Caroline!
31
00:02:01,459 --> 00:02:02,627
Caroline: Charles,
what on earth...
32
00:02:02,627 --> 00:02:03,794
Mary.
33
00:02:03,794 --> 00:02:07,298
Charles:
Ha ha ha!
34
00:02:07,298 --> 00:02:08,174
That's why
I was late.
35
00:02:08,174 --> 00:02:10,676
The snow held
the stage up.
36
00:02:10,676 --> 00:02:12,678
Adam: We were afraid we
wouldn't make it at all.
37
00:02:12,678 --> 00:02:14,430
Oh, it's good
to see you.
38
00:02:14,430 --> 00:02:18,017
Oh, why didn't you
tell me you were coming?
39
00:02:18,017 --> 00:02:19,935
Then it wouldn't
have been a surprise.
40
00:02:19,935 --> 00:02:21,312
Why don't you all
get in the house
and warm up?
41
00:02:21,312 --> 00:02:22,605
I'll take care
of the team.
42
00:02:22,605 --> 00:02:23,814
I'll get the bags.
43
00:02:23,814 --> 00:02:26,317
Caroline:
Oh...oh...
44
00:02:26,317 --> 00:02:27,902
Charles: And stop
your crying, woman!
45
00:02:27,902 --> 00:02:30,696
I will in a minute.
46
00:02:30,696 --> 00:02:32,907
Laura and Almanzo
are here.
47
00:02:34,283 --> 00:02:35,785
Laura: Mary!
Oh, Mary!
48
00:02:35,785 --> 00:02:38,954
Ha ha ha!
49
00:02:38,954 --> 00:02:40,331
And we thank you, lord,
for bringing
50
00:02:40,331 --> 00:02:42,667
our family together
on this Christmas Eve
51
00:02:42,667 --> 00:02:46,337
and for the bountiful
feast your kindness
has provided.
52
00:02:46,337 --> 00:02:48,798
May we all be worthy.
Amen.
53
00:02:48,798 --> 00:02:50,800
Amen.
Amen.
54
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,009
Albert:
I'm starved.
55
00:02:52,009 --> 00:02:53,844
Hester-sue:
The food looks
delicious.
56
00:02:53,844 --> 00:02:55,054
Dig in,
everybody!
57
00:02:55,054 --> 00:02:57,098
Almanzo:
You care for a roll?
58
00:02:57,098 --> 00:03:00,017
Laura: Oh, um...
Sure.
59
00:03:00,017 --> 00:03:03,354
Mmm! Caroline,
the ham is delicious.
60
00:03:03,354 --> 00:03:04,689
Boy, is this
good, ma!
61
00:03:04,689 --> 00:03:06,857
[Woof woof]
62
00:03:06,857 --> 00:03:08,693
Well, I guess that
makes it unanimous.
63
00:03:08,693 --> 00:03:11,904
[Laughter]
64
00:03:22,456 --> 00:03:25,876
[Violin and guitar playing
"O little town of Bethlehem"]
65
00:04:12,715 --> 00:04:15,050
You play
so well together.
66
00:04:15,050 --> 00:04:16,677
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
67
00:04:16,677 --> 00:04:18,012
The truth is,
Almanzo and I have
been practicing.
68
00:04:18,012 --> 00:04:19,096
Let's do
"the first Noel."
69
00:04:19,096 --> 00:04:20,598
All right.
70
00:04:20,598 --> 00:04:22,975
Mary: Listen.
71
00:04:22,975 --> 00:04:24,435
Outside.
72
00:04:24,435 --> 00:04:25,644
[Wind blowing]
73
00:04:25,644 --> 00:04:27,354
Oh, boy, it's
really coming down.
74
00:04:27,354 --> 00:04:29,482
We might not make it
if we wait too long.
75
00:04:29,482 --> 00:04:31,442
I'm afraid
you're right.
76
00:04:31,442 --> 00:04:32,818
Almanzo, what do you say
we hitch up the team?
77
00:04:32,818 --> 00:04:34,904
OK.
78
00:04:34,904 --> 00:04:36,113
Oh, what a shame.
79
00:04:36,113 --> 00:04:38,282
At least have
another cup
80
00:04:38,282 --> 00:04:41,744
of coffee before
you go out in that.
81
00:04:41,744 --> 00:04:44,413
I'll make
a fresh pot.
82
00:04:44,413 --> 00:04:46,081
You know, it
wouldn't be so bad
83
00:04:46,081 --> 00:04:47,750
if we had to spend
the night.
84
00:04:47,750 --> 00:04:49,168
Be nice and cozy.
85
00:04:49,168 --> 00:04:51,253
Oh, Adam!
86
00:04:55,633 --> 00:04:58,511
You couldn't get
through this with a sled.
87
00:04:58,511 --> 00:04:59,345
Look at that
come down.
88
00:04:59,345 --> 00:05:01,639
It's getting colder,
too.
89
00:05:01,639 --> 00:05:03,724
Well, we're just going
to have to make do.
90
00:05:03,724 --> 00:05:05,810
Going to need
a lot more firewood.
91
00:05:05,810 --> 00:05:07,478
May not be able
to get to the barn
pretty soon, either.
92
00:05:07,478 --> 00:05:10,981
You know, it might be
a good idea to rig a rope
from the house to the barn.
93
00:05:10,981 --> 00:05:12,399
Good idea.
94
00:05:12,399 --> 00:05:13,776
I'm going
to take care of it.
95
00:05:13,776 --> 00:05:15,694
OK. Tell everybody
to settle in.
96
00:05:15,694 --> 00:05:16,946
Good.
97
00:05:22,117 --> 00:05:25,579
Land sakes,
look at you!
98
00:05:25,579 --> 00:05:28,666
Well, it looks like
everybody is going
to spend the night.
99
00:05:28,666 --> 00:05:30,167
It's that bad?
100
00:05:30,167 --> 00:05:32,002
Oh, yeah. There's no
way to get through it.
101
00:05:32,002 --> 00:05:33,838
Albert, get some
extra blankets out, son.
102
00:05:33,838 --> 00:05:36,215
Sure, pa.
103
00:05:36,215 --> 00:05:38,342

Hester-sue:
Thank you.
113
00:06:49,914 --> 00:06:52,124
It certainly was,
but I have a feeling
114
00:06:52,124 --> 00:06:53,250
you're losing part
of your audience.
115
00:06:53,250 --> 00:06:55,210
I'll get her to bed.
116
00:06:55,210 --> 00:06:57,713
-All right.
-Darling.
117
00:07:00,090 --> 00:07:03,010
Carrie, Cassandra,
time for you to turn in.
118
00:07:03,010 --> 00:07:04,428
I know.
119
00:07:04,428 --> 00:07:05,930
And you better get
a good night's sleep
120
00:07:05,930 --> 00:07:07,681
because you got
a lot of presents
to open tomorrow.
121
00:07:07,681 --> 00:07:08,349
-A lot?
-Mm-hmm.
122
00:07:08,349 --> 00:07:10,976
-Really?
-Well, sure!
123
00:07:10,976 --> 00:07:12,353
How do you know?
124
00:07:12,353 --> 00:07:14,146
Well, you've been
a good girl,
haven't you?
125
00:07:14,146 --> 00:07:16,273
I'm sure
Santa Claus will
be very generous.
126
00:07:16,273 --> 00:07:18,609
Then I better
get to sleep.
127
00:07:18,609 --> 00:07:20,945
All right, both
of you, up there.
128
00:07:20,945 --> 00:07:22,613
[Softly]
That was a close one.
129
00:07:22,613 --> 00:07:24,198
I almost gave it away.
130
00:07:24,198 --> 00:07:26,992
Yeah, I'm kind of
sleepy myself.
131
00:07:26,992 --> 00:07:29,453
Why don't you and
Laura take our bed?
132
00:07:29,453 --> 00:07:31,288
Albert, you fix up
a place for yourself
133
00:07:31,288 --> 00:07:32,623
on the floor
upstairs and have
134
00:07:32,623 --> 00:07:33,832
Hester-Sue take
your bed, all right?
135
00:07:33,832 --> 00:07:35,417
Oh, no. You don't
have to do that.
136
00:07:35,417 --> 00:07:37,044
Oh, that's OK.
I don't mind.
137
00:07:37,044 --> 00:07:37,753
I'll go get it ready.
138
00:07:37,753 --> 00:07:39,004
Hester-sue:
Thank you.
139
00:07:39,004 --> 00:07:41,298
[Wind blowing]
140
00:07:41,298 --> 00:07:43,050
Just listen
to that.
141
00:07:43,050 --> 00:07:44,343
Mm-hmm.
142
00:07:44,343 --> 00:07:47,805
Caroline, I was just
noticing your necklace.
Is it new?
143
00:07:47,805 --> 00:07:50,849
Oh, no. I've had it
for a long time.
144
00:07:50,849 --> 00:07:52,935
It's quite unusual.
145
00:07:52,935 --> 00:07:54,144
Yes, it is.
146
00:07:54,144 --> 00:07:57,606
I don't remember
ever seeing it before.
147
00:07:57,606 --> 00:07:59,817
I only wear it
at Christmas.
148
00:07:59,817 --> 00:08:01,944
Oh!
149
00:08:01,944 --> 00:08:03,612
Oh, tell her
the story, ma.
150
00:08:03,612 --> 00:08:05,072
Adam hasn't
heard it, either.
151
00:08:05,072 --> 00:08:06,824
Well...
152
00:08:06,824 --> 00:08:08,117
Hester-sue: Please do.
153
00:08:08,117 --> 00:08:09,785
All right.
154
00:08:12,663 --> 00:08:15,749
You know, I wasn't
much older than Carrie
when my mother remarried.
155
00:08:15,749 --> 00:08:21,714
I simply couldn't get
accustomed to the idea,
156
00:08:21,714 --> 00:08:23,424
especially with the pain
of my father's death so recent
157
00:08:23,424 --> 00:08:27,970
and the memory
of him so vivid.
158
00:08:27,970 --> 00:08:32,516
I'd never felt so lonely
as that first Christmas Eve
159
00:08:32,516 --> 00:08:35,936
with a stepfather
I couldn't accept.
160
00:08:35,936 --> 00:08:37,229
[Sigh]
161
00:08:37,229 --> 00:08:41,275
It didn't help that it
was raining instead of snowing.
162
00:08:53,996 --> 00:08:55,330
Caroline?
163
00:08:55,330 --> 00:09:00,085
Darling, I can't
stand to see you
feeling this way.
164
00:09:00,085 --> 00:09:03,088
I miss pa so bad.
165
00:09:03,088 --> 00:09:06,383
I know. So do I.
166
00:09:06,383 --> 00:09:09,219
No, you don't.
How could you miss pa?
167
00:09:09,219 --> 00:09:10,888
Caroline...
168
00:09:10,888 --> 00:09:14,183
How could you
miss him at all and
marry somebody else?
169
00:09:14,183 --> 00:09:14,850
Your stepfather is--
170
00:09:14,850 --> 00:09:16,685
don't call him that!
171
00:09:16,685 --> 00:09:18,896
He'll never be
my stepfather.
172
00:09:18,896 --> 00:09:20,856
-I hate him!
-Don't say that.
173
00:09:20,856 --> 00:09:22,733
I do! I hate him!
174
00:09:22,733 --> 00:09:24,443
The other children
don't feel that way.
175
00:09:24,443 --> 00:09:27,071
Yes, they do.
They're just
afraid to say it.
176
00:09:27,071 --> 00:09:29,907
That's not true!
Frederick is a fine man!
177
00:09:29,907 --> 00:09:31,825
I'm absolutely...
178
00:09:31,825 --> 00:09:33,410
Soaked.

181
00:09:48,759 --> 00:09:51,345
Frederick,
I'm so sorry.
182
00:09:52,805 --> 00:09:54,431
She'll get over it.
183
00:09:54,431 --> 00:09:57,434
I'm not sure she will.
184
00:09:57,434 --> 00:10:01,438
What are we
going to do?
185
00:10:01,438 --> 00:10:04,233
I can only try
to talk to her.
186
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:17,871
Caroline?
187
00:10:17,871 --> 00:10:21,834
Caroline: Go away.
Please, go away.
188
00:10:24,294 --> 00:10:26,296
This is the most
terrible Christmas
189
00:10:26,296 --> 00:10:28,757
I can imagine
for a child.
190
00:10:28,757 --> 00:10:31,343
You hardly know
a stranger
191
00:10:31,343 --> 00:10:34,346
being where your
father used to be.
192
00:10:34,346 --> 00:10:37,307
I'd surely feel
the same way.
193
00:10:37,307 --> 00:10:40,352
On top
of everything,
it has to rain.
194
00:10:40,352 --> 00:10:43,313
I don't want
to talk to you.
195
00:10:54,324 --> 00:10:55,951
Maybe it is all wrong.
196
00:10:55,951 --> 00:10:57,578
Maybe your mother and I
shouldn't have married.
197
00:10:57,578 --> 00:10:59,997
A man like
your father,
198
00:10:59,997 --> 00:11:02,416
the likes of me
could never begin
to take his place.
199
00:11:02,416 --> 00:11:05,752
Not a man like him.
200
00:11:05,752 --> 00:11:07,462
He was the finest
I ever knew.
201
00:11:07,462 --> 00:11:10,424
We were friends.
202
00:11:10,424 --> 00:11:12,259
I guess you
remember that.
203
00:11:13,552 --> 00:11:17,389
I don't know if he
felt the same way;
Probably not,
204
00:11:17,389 --> 00:11:20,517
but I thought of him
as the best friend
I ever had.
205
00:11:20,517 --> 00:11:24,438
When he passed on...
206
00:11:25,189 --> 00:11:29,193
I cried.
207
00:11:29,193 --> 00:11:31,028
God, I cried.
208
00:11:31,778 --> 00:11:35,032
He gave me
something once,
209
00:11:35,032 --> 00:11:38,660
something I always admired,
and he gave it to me.
210
00:11:41,330 --> 00:11:44,291
I decided
you should have it,
211
00:11:44,291 --> 00:11:47,461
and instead of waiting
till tomorrow...
212
00:11:49,421 --> 00:11:52,424
Maybe now's the time
for you to open it.
213
00:11:54,176 --> 00:11:55,677
Will you?
214
00:12:01,016 --> 00:12:03,185
Well, as you please.
215
00:12:03,185 --> 00:12:06,647
It's an ivory watch fob.
I just put a chain on it.
216
00:12:06,647 --> 00:12:10,609
Like I said,
I always admired it.
217
00:12:10,609 --> 00:12:12,986
One birthday, he just
up and gave it to me.
218
00:12:12,986 --> 00:12:14,655
It has a mother and child
etched on it.
219
00:12:14,655 --> 00:12:18,617
They call it
a nativity scene.
220
00:12:20,535 --> 00:12:23,413
Hope you like it.

Please help her

I can't stand to

streaked with tears.

Bring her joy

00:14:14,358 --> 00:14:16,735
I love her so.

almost as much as
the father I'd lost.
252
00:15:13,250 --> 00:15:15,585
Perhaps as much.
253
00:15:15,585 --> 00:15:18,380
Differently.
254
00:15:18,380 --> 00:15:22,426
And so every Christmas,
I put this on
255
00:15:22,426 --> 00:15:27,097
so papa Holbrook
will know I...
256
00:15:27,097 --> 00:15:29,599
I haven't forgotten.
257
00:15:59,296 --> 00:16:00,297
[Laughter]
258
00:16:01,798 --> 00:16:03,967
Caroline:
Mary was asleep
259
00:16:03,967 --> 00:16:07,637
as soon as her head
hit the pillow.
260
00:16:07,637 --> 00:16:09,473
Laura: I'm not
the least bit tired.
261
00:16:09,473 --> 00:16:11,183
-I sure am.
-Me, too.
262
00:16:11,183 --> 00:16:12,642
I'm afraid that's
the best I can do.
263
00:16:12,642 --> 00:16:13,518
It's OK.
264
00:16:13,518 --> 00:16:15,395
Charles:
Get a good
sleep, boys.
265
00:16:15,395 --> 00:16:17,189
-Night, pa.
-Good night, everybody.
266
00:16:17,189 --> 00:16:19,274
Hester-sue:
I'm like Laura.
I'm not tired a bit.
267
00:16:19,274 --> 00:16:20,609
Well, it's not
all that late.
268
00:16:20,609 --> 00:16:22,527
I guarantee
grace will be
269
00:16:22,527 --> 00:16:24,362
the first one
awake Christmas
morning.
270
00:16:24,362 --> 00:16:25,655
Caroline:
Which reminds me,
271
00:16:25,655 --> 00:16:27,532
we've got to get
those stockings stuffed.
272
00:16:27,532 --> 00:16:29,159
I almost forgot
about it. I'll
take care of it.
273
00:16:29,159 --> 00:16:32,496
Caroline: I just can't
imagine Christmas morning
without little ones,
274
00:16:32,496 --> 00:16:35,749
all excited about
their stockings
and their presents.
275
00:16:35,749 --> 00:16:37,292
Half-pint,
your stocking
is still in there
276
00:16:37,292 --> 00:16:39,294
if you'd like me
to hang it up
for you.
277
00:16:39,294 --> 00:16:40,545
Pa!
278
00:16:40,545 --> 00:16:41,922
I remember a Christmas
morning I'll never forget.
279
00:16:41,922 --> 00:16:45,091
Tell us about it,
Almanzo.
280
00:16:45,091 --> 00:16:48,345
You see, my folks
were awful good people,
281
00:16:48,345 --> 00:16:50,347
but they were awful
strict, too.
282
00:16:50,347 --> 00:16:51,806
Kept us on our toes,
I can tell you.
283
00:16:51,806 --> 00:16:54,684
The closer Christmas got,
284
00:16:54,684 --> 00:16:57,687
the more careful we were
not to make any mistakes.
285
00:16:57,687 --> 00:17:00,482
Christmas Eve was
an especially nervous time.
286
00:17:00,482 --> 00:17:02,025
-Ha ha ha!
-I was only 6.
287
00:17:02,025 --> 00:17:07,447
Well, there was
my older brother royal
288
00:17:07,447 --> 00:17:10,450
and my sisters
Eliza Jane and Alice,
289
00:17:10,450 --> 00:17:12,369
and we all had lots
of chores to do,
290
00:17:12,369 --> 00:17:15,872
and the thought of
not doing them right
was a real worry.
291
00:17:15,872 --> 00:17:19,417
We scrubbed and we
polished all day long.
292
00:17:19,417 --> 00:17:21,211
By the time supper
was almost through,
293
00:17:21,211 --> 00:17:22,379
we could barely keep
our eyes open,
294
00:17:22,379 --> 00:17:25,882
but the house was so clean,
it fairly sparkled.
295
00:17:25,882 --> 00:17:27,551
Ha ha ha!
296
00:17:27,551 --> 00:17:28,718
Manzo,
finish your plate.
297
00:17:28,718 --> 00:17:31,513
Yes, sir.
298
00:17:31,513 --> 00:17:34,307
Is it all right
if I go to bed?
I'm awful tired.
299
00:17:34,307 --> 00:17:34,724
So am I.
300
00:17:34,724 --> 00:17:37,394
Me, too.
301
00:17:37,394 --> 00:17:40,522
Not good
for a body to sleep
with a full stomach.
302
00:17:40,522 --> 00:17:43,483
'sides, you ain't fed
the stock yet.
303
00:17:43,483 --> 00:17:45,735
I'll do it now.
304
00:17:45,735 --> 00:17:48,405
Manzo,
you can help.
305
00:17:48,405 --> 00:17:50,240
Yes, pa.
306
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:51,575
You girls can start
clearing the table.
307
00:17:51,575 --> 00:17:54,452
Yes'm.
308
00:18:08,341 --> 00:18:11,553
We better not forget
to leave some milk
and cookies out tonight.
309
00:18:11,553 --> 00:18:12,095
What for?
310
00:18:12,095 --> 00:18:14,306
Santa, of course.
311
00:18:14,306 --> 00:18:16,308
You still believe
in Santa Claus?
312
00:18:16,308 --> 00:18:17,767
Of course. He's real.
313
00:18:17,767 --> 00:18:19,603
He is not.
314
00:18:19,603 --> 00:18:22,272
He is, too, and you
better not talk like that,
315
00:18:22,272 --> 00:18:24,691
or he won't leave you
any presents.
316
00:18:24,691 --> 00:18:26,818
Pa already got
the presents for us.
317
00:18:26,818 --> 00:18:28,820
That's a lie.
318
00:18:28,820 --> 00:18:30,405
Is it? Come here.
319
00:18:37,954 --> 00:18:41,333
See? I found them
yesterday.
320
00:18:41,333 --> 00:18:43,960
Come on. Let's
get back to work.
321
00:18:55,889 --> 00:18:58,600
Stock's fed and
the stalls are clean.
I'm going to bed now.
322
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,311
-Where's your brother?
-He's still in the barn.
323
00:19:01,311 --> 00:19:02,145
Why didn't
he come in
with you?
324
00:19:02,145 --> 00:19:04,939
I don't know.
Good night.
325
00:19:04,939 --> 00:19:07,067
I'll get him.
326
00:19:18,328 --> 00:19:19,871
Land sakes, boy!
327
00:19:19,871 --> 00:19:21,748
What are you doing
out here?
328
00:19:21,748 --> 00:19:22,916
Sitting.
329
00:19:22,916 --> 00:19:25,460
Well, you'd best get inside
and into your bed.
330
00:19:25,460 --> 00:19:28,421
What if old
Santa Claus comes,
and you're still awake?
331
00:19:28,421 --> 00:19:30,340
He's not coming.
332
00:19:30,340 --> 00:19:33,009
What are you
talking about?
333
00:19:33,009 --> 00:19:33,927
There's
no Santa Claus.
334
00:19:33,927 --> 00:19:36,805
No Santa Claus?
335
00:19:36,805 --> 00:19:38,431
Where'd you get
a crazy idea like that?
336
00:19:38,431 --> 00:19:42,394
From royal.
He told me you got
all the presents.
337
00:19:42,394 --> 00:19:46,356
Hmm. Well, that
just goes to show you
how little he knows.
338
00:19:46,356 --> 00:19:48,400
He showed me
the presents.
339
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,902
What presents?
340
00:19:50,902 --> 00:19:53,905
The ones that you put
under the canvas.
341
00:19:55,407 --> 00:19:56,866
Under the canvas?
342
00:19:56,866 --> 00:19:59,953
Oh, pa, you know that's
where you put them.
343
00:19:59,953 --> 00:20:01,955
I don't know
any such thing,
344
00:20:01,955 --> 00:20:03,039
and neither
does your brother.
345
00:20:03,039 --> 00:20:06,084
Now, you listen to me.
346
00:20:06,084 --> 00:20:08,128
How big
is Santa's sleigh?
347
00:20:08,128 --> 00:20:10,672
I don't know
for sure.
348
00:20:10,672 --> 00:20:12,841
Well, I'd say it was
about from right here
349
00:20:12,841 --> 00:20:16,094
to, uh...
350
00:20:16,094 --> 00:20:20,014
Right here.
Yeah, that's about right.
351
00:20:20,014 --> 00:20:24,060
Now, didn't you
ever wonder how Santa
could get all the toys
352
00:20:24,060 --> 00:20:27,897
for all the boys and girls
in that one little sleigh?
353
00:20:27,897 --> 00:20:29,607
I never thought
about it.
354
00:20:29,607 --> 00:20:31,151
I can see that.
355
00:20:31,151 --> 00:20:35,655
Well, the only way
he could do it
356
00:20:35,655 --> 00:20:38,742
would be
to have toys hidden
all over the world,
357
00:20:38,742 --> 00:20:39,868
just like he hid them
under the canvas.
358
00:20:39,868 --> 00:20:42,454
You mean it?
359
00:20:42,454 --> 00:20:43,913
Of course I mean it.
360
00:20:43,913 --> 00:20:45,415
Makes sense, too, don't it?
361
00:20:45,415 --> 00:20:47,751
It sure does. I'm going
to go tell royal.
362
00:20:47,751 --> 00:20:49,502
No, no.
363
00:20:49,502 --> 00:20:52,005
You'd best just not
say a word.
364
00:20:52,005 --> 00:20:53,339
Why?
365
00:20:53,339 --> 00:20:57,886
Well, Santa might be
real angry at royal
366
00:20:57,886 --> 00:20:59,763
for sneaking around
367
00:20:59,763 --> 00:21:02,015
and poking into places
he don't belong.
368
00:21:02,015 --> 00:21:03,933
I didn't poke in.
He showed me.
369
00:21:03,933 --> 00:21:06,102
Oh, I know, I know.
370
00:21:06,102 --> 00:21:07,103
I just think
it's best to forget
371
00:21:07,103 --> 00:21:09,564
it ever happened,
all right?
372
00:21:09,564 --> 00:21:10,774
All right.
373
00:21:10,774 --> 00:21:13,151
OK. Off to bed then.

there's a Santa Claus.

I was sure
my pa was right,
385
00:21:51,147 --> 00:21:54,108
and Santa had
gotten mad at royal

wasn't a Santa Claus

stop believing
in Santa Claus?

It's all right, dear.
Go back to bed.

Is Santa going to die
in this storm?
404
00:22:49,372 --> 00:22:53,042
No. Santa's
used to this.
405

He lives
in the north pole.
406

Right!

funny, why don't you
tell us about it?

Well, all right.
456
00:25:00,128 --> 00:25:03,673

no, 3 years old.
458

terribly cold,

almost as cold
as it is now.
460
00:25:10,847 --> 00:25:13,349
And the snow
was coming down,
461
00:25:13,349 --> 00:25:15,268
not quite as hard
as it is now,
462
00:25:15,268 --> 00:25:17,145
but next to it.
463
00:25:17,145 --> 00:25:22,650
Anyway, we were
all waiting for
Mr. Edwards' arrival,

Mr. Edwards very much,

he taught me to spit.

there he was.

right away,

503
00:28:34,050 --> 00:28:36,219

jolly enough

he says.

them pair of red mittens

when you was just
a sprig in Tennessee?"

many a winter," says I.

happen to know them

Sure did, right away.

story short, you see,

said he's mighty worried

to cross the creek,

you know, what with
the weather being bad
521

and him not
being so spry anymore,
522
00:29:20,554 --> 00:29:23,432

your presents to you.

what's in the bag.

526
00:29:31,482 --> 00:29:34,151
All right...
527
00:29:34,151 --> 00:29:35,861
All right, now you
close up your eyes now.
528
00:29:35,861 --> 00:29:36,696
We can't have
no peeking.
529
00:29:36,696 --> 00:29:39,615
Come on.
Close them tight.
530
00:29:39,615 --> 00:29:41,617
You ain't peeking,
are you?
531
00:29:41,617 --> 00:29:44,161
Can't stand
for no peeking.
532
00:29:44,161 --> 00:29:46,038
Here we go.
533
00:29:47,498 --> 00:29:49,083
All right. You ready?
534
00:29:51,585 --> 00:29:53,337
All right.
535
00:29:53,337 --> 00:29:55,381
There you are.
536
00:29:55,381 --> 00:29:57,133
Ha ha!
537
00:29:57,133 --> 00:29:59,719
We each got our
own cups now!
538
00:29:59,719 --> 00:30:02,722
Thank you,
Mr. Edwards.
539
00:30:02,722 --> 00:30:04,932
Now, lookee here.
Look at this here.
540
00:30:06,475 --> 00:30:09,020
There's one for you,
541
00:30:09,020 --> 00:30:11,272
one for you,
542
00:30:11,272 --> 00:30:13,941
and one for you.
543
00:30:16,527 --> 00:30:18,571
I'm going to save mine.
544
00:30:18,571 --> 00:30:20,156
Not me.
545
00:30:22,491 --> 00:30:24,493
Oh, ma'am, I, uh...
546
00:30:24,493 --> 00:30:27,580
Thought you might
like to have these
with your Turkey.
547
00:30:27,580 --> 00:30:29,582
Like to?
548
00:30:29,582 --> 00:30:33,169
Oh, I can't recall
the last time we
had such a treat!
549
00:30:33,169 --> 00:30:35,254
Thank you.

and a cookie
made like a heart

00:31:54,667 --> 00:31:56,585
and sprinkled with white sugar
572
00:31:56,585 --> 00:31:59,004
and red mittens
like Mr. Edwards got
573
00:31:59,004 --> 00:32:01,799
when he was a sprig
in Tennessee.
574
00:32:01,799 --> 00:32:04,427
It was the best
Christmas ever,
575
00:32:04,427 --> 00:32:07,596
not only because
we got grand presents,
576
00:32:07,596 --> 00:32:10,391
but because ma took kindly
to Mr. Edwards.

00:32:39,086 --> 00:32:41,630
It seems like
just yesterday.
583
00:32:44,467 --> 00:32:47,511
It was a hard life
in Kansas,
584
00:32:47,511 --> 00:32:48,596
but it was a good life.
585
00:32:48,596 --> 00:32:50,222
It was.
586
00:32:50,222 --> 00:32:52,808
Laura: Well, I think
I'm finally ready for sleep.
587
00:32:52,808 --> 00:32:55,102
You coming, manly?
588
00:32:55,102 --> 00:32:57,313
Not just yet.
You have a good sleep.
589
00:32:57,313 --> 00:32:59,523
I will.
Good night.
590
00:32:59,523 --> 00:33:01,233
-Good night, darling.
-Good night, pa.
591
00:33:01,233 --> 00:33:02,318
-Good night.
-Good night.
592
00:33:02,318 --> 00:33:05,529
It looks like
the ranks are
thinning out.
593
00:33:05,529 --> 00:33:07,323
I'll take care
of the fire for you,
594
00:33:07,323 --> 00:33:08,532
if you want to get
some sleep.
595
00:33:08,532 --> 00:33:10,618
Nah.
Couldn't sleep
if I tried,
596
00:33:10,618 --> 00:33:12,286
listening
to that storm
out there.
597
00:33:12,286 --> 00:33:15,623
Hope those poor
animals will be
all right.
598
00:33:15,623 --> 00:33:18,626
Well, they will
be if the barn
holds together.
599
00:33:18,626 --> 00:33:20,544
It will, won't it?
600
00:33:22,630 --> 00:33:25,174
All we can do
is pray.
601
00:33:54,328 --> 00:33:57,456
Looks like those two
are in dreamland.
602
00:33:57,456 --> 00:33:59,500
You're still
not tired?
603
00:33:59,500 --> 00:34:01,377
Oh,
I'm getting there.
604
00:34:01,377 --> 00:34:04,046
Why don't you two
go get some rest?
I'll watch the fire.
605
00:34:04,046 --> 00:34:07,800
Adam did say
he'd spell me.
606
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,844
I'll wake him up
when it's time.
607
00:34:10,844 --> 00:34:12,846
You sure
you don't mind?
608
00:34:12,846 --> 00:34:14,974
Not a bit.
609
00:34:14,974 --> 00:34:18,394
With all of the memories
of Christmas,
610
00:34:18,394 --> 00:34:20,604
I have a few of my own.
611
00:34:20,604 --> 00:34:21,689
Good ones, I hope.
612
00:34:21,689 --> 00:34:24,358
Mostly.
613
00:34:24,358 --> 00:34:28,529
There is one that
I can't seem to forget.
614
00:34:28,529 --> 00:34:31,782
Tell us.
615
00:34:31,782 --> 00:34:34,743
Well, it's kind of sad.
616
00:34:34,743 --> 00:34:37,413
Come on. We'd love
to hear it.
617
00:34:37,413 --> 00:34:40,583
It was during
the civil war,
618
00:34:40,583 --> 00:34:42,710
the early part.
I was about 10.
619
00:34:42,710 --> 00:34:47,673
And Emily,
the daughter of the man
that ran the plantation
620
00:34:47,673 --> 00:34:49,091
was my best friend.
621
00:34:49,091 --> 00:34:52,761
I'd gone to town
with momma
622
00:34:52,761 --> 00:34:55,097
because it was
the day before Christmas
623
00:34:55,097 --> 00:34:58,434
and Emily had to talk
to Santa Claus.
624
00:34:58,434 --> 00:35:01,729
Of course, I had to
wait outside while
momma took her in
625
00:35:01,729 --> 00:35:05,691
because blacks
couldn't buy anything
in that store anyway.
626
00:35:07,526 --> 00:35:09,612
But I didn't care.
627
00:35:11,447 --> 00:35:14,617
It was fun just looking
in the window.
628
00:35:21,415 --> 00:35:23,959
Boy: Lookit there.
See that train?
629
00:35:23,959 --> 00:35:26,462
It runs on steam,
just like the big ones.
630
00:35:26,462 --> 00:35:28,839
Oh, I wish I had that.
631
00:35:28,839 --> 00:35:30,341
Wishing's all
you can do.
632
00:35:30,341 --> 00:35:32,343
How you know?
I've been good.
633
00:35:32,343 --> 00:35:34,303
You think Santa Claus
cares if you're good?
634
00:35:34,303 --> 00:35:35,846
Sure he does.
635
00:35:35,846 --> 00:35:37,640
When you get bigger,
you'll find out.
636
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,392
He don't bring
nothing that good
for black children.
637
00:35:40,392 --> 00:35:40,893
Them's for white folks.
638
00:35:40,893 --> 00:35:42,811
How you know?
639
00:35:42,811 --> 00:35:44,730
Just look at him.
He's a white man.
640
00:35:44,730 --> 00:35:46,774
He take care of his own.

Will you listen
to master Hayes' voice?
646
00:36:12,841 --> 00:36:16,470
He sings louder than
any man I've ever heard.
647
00:36:16,470 --> 00:36:18,931
Must have gotten
to the Christmas
punch pretty early.
648
00:36:20,391 --> 00:36:23,352
Oh, you should have
heard him tonight,
649
00:36:23,352 --> 00:36:26,522
all dressed up
like Santa,
650
00:36:26,522 --> 00:36:30,109
handing out presents
to grownups!
651
00:36:30,109 --> 00:36:33,612
Oh, and he gave
the missis a ring
652
00:36:33,612 --> 00:36:37,032
with a stone
in it the size
of a Robin's egg.
653
00:36:37,032 --> 00:36:38,826
Well, bet she
liked it, huh?
654
00:36:38,826 --> 00:36:42,079
She hugged his neck
for 20 minutes.
655
00:36:43,539 --> 00:36:45,541
Bet you'd like
to have one.
656
00:36:45,541 --> 00:36:48,502
Land sakes, what
would I do with it?
657
00:36:51,755 --> 00:36:53,507
I think it's silly.
658
00:36:53,507 --> 00:36:57,386
'sides, I don't want
to have nothing
659
00:36:57,386 --> 00:36:59,722
I gots to worry
about losing
all the time.
660
00:36:59,722 --> 00:37:01,598
Ha ha ha!
661
00:37:01,598 --> 00:37:04,977
You ain't got
nothing to worry
about losing,
662
00:37:04,977 --> 00:37:06,186
at least not yet.
663
00:37:06,186 --> 00:37:08,647
Hester-sue:
Not ever.
664
00:37:08,647 --> 00:37:10,482
What?
665
00:37:10,482 --> 00:37:12,568
We ain't never
going to get
nothing like that.
666
00:37:14,778 --> 00:37:17,740
Now, how do you know
that, young lady?
667
00:37:17,740 --> 00:37:21,577
'Cause I know,
'cause Santa Claus
is white.
668
00:37:21,577 --> 00:37:23,871
Well, how do you
know that?
669
00:37:23,871 --> 00:37:26,165
Hester-sue:
Everybody knows that.
670
00:37:26,165 --> 00:37:27,750
I don't.
671
00:37:27,750 --> 00:37:31,336
I saw him today
in the store.
672
00:37:31,336 --> 00:37:33,213
That wasn't
the real Santa.
673
00:37:33,213 --> 00:37:36,091
Why, he lives
in the north pole,
674
00:37:36,091 --> 00:37:38,761
way far off.
675
00:37:38,761 --> 00:37:42,431
Then who's that
in the store?
676
00:37:42,431 --> 00:37:44,808
Just a man,
pretending.
677
00:37:44,808 --> 00:37:49,104
Why, nobody knows what
the real Santa Claus
looks like.
678
00:37:49,104 --> 00:37:52,566
Yes, they do.
He's fat, and he's jolly,
679
00:37:52,566 --> 00:37:55,486
with a white beard
and a white face.
680
00:37:55,486 --> 00:37:58,947
That's why
we ain't never gonna
get nothing good.

689
00:39:15,983 --> 00:39:20,028
Evening. Glad I got
to see you 'fore
I go to sleep.
690
00:39:20,028 --> 00:39:22,948
Got something here
for Hester-Sue.
691
00:39:22,948 --> 00:39:24,658
Thanking you, sir.
692
00:39:24,658 --> 00:39:28,453
Oh, don't thank me.
Thank Santa Claus.
693
00:39:28,453 --> 00:39:30,914
Emily asked him
to bring something
694
00:39:30,914 --> 00:39:32,666
'specially
for Hester-Sue.
695
00:39:32,666 --> 00:39:34,209
Well, that's
mighty nice of her.
696
00:39:34,209 --> 00:39:36,253
Here you go.
697
00:39:37,671 --> 00:39:40,173
You have a merry
Christmas, James.
698
00:39:40,173 --> 00:39:42,801

734
00:43:57,264 --> 00:44:00,392
It's time to wake up.
It's Christmas morning!

Carrie, honey, it's
pitch black outside.

Now, I know you're
anxious to open
your presents,
737
00:44:05,147 --> 00:44:06,481
but you're going
to have to wait
until morning.

It's morning.

00:44:37,220 --> 00:44:39,973
Santa couldn't
make it through
the blizzard.

Don't worry, Carrie.
I'm sure he couldn't get

00:44:41,057 --> 00:44:43,602

them all in the barn.
753
00:44:43,602 --> 00:44:46,271
But we can't get
to the barn to find out!
754
00:44:46,271 --> 00:44:48,440
I wouldn't
be so sure of that.
