what are you looking at Dad if we keep giving away our fish will

I end up working for Gustav God has blessed our family with much but everything we have belongs to him he

wants us to use what we have to help others not to keep it for ourselves are

you listening to me and realizing that all the young children of the world deserved a better life Saint Nick resolved to gain weight

grow a beard and teach reindeer to fly not quite just Destiny you can't teach

reindeer to fly they gotta eat magic corn as unfair as it seems this is the world

where young Nicholas found himself [Music]

where are they going oh great piles of catfish you scared me knick-knack don't

call me knick-knack the woman's husband is sick they're going to help it seems everyone's getting sick these days they

should stay at home what if they get sick you'll know your parents wherever there's a need they'll be there now get

to sleep you little halibut don't call me all of it knickerdoodle no Nick Jr

please don't give up or make it stop okay Nicholas back to bed

[Music] so anybody up for some hot cocoa is that

the end it's kind of a European ending we're left with more questions than answers that's it's not the end of the

story we're just coming up to the uh the sad part the sad part what happens

is this the part where they don't let Rudolph play in their reindeer games that's so insensitive no it's about

Nick's parents why would Nick's parents want to play reindeer games not that Larry something happened to Nick's

parents what well they did get sick and they they what Bob well what happened to

Nick's parents Bob well a great sickness came through their town they Bob

they died while Nicholas was still a boy both of

his parents died he still had plenty of food and a nice house to live in but he

was an orphan a boy with no parents oh Nicholas I am so sorry what am I gonna

do now you could answer the door

[Music] hello Nicholas what do you want there's no need to be

Reckless I'm here to help you want your excuse us I have some business with that

boy fine don't mind me I'll just be sitting at the dock

[Music] time I suppose you know you have to run

your father's fishing business now Nicholas that's a big job

what do you mean I was just thinking about all those poor sick hungry people

your parents were always helping what about them well with your parents gone who will help to them it's going to take

a lot of money and a lot of things sure I I guess I could give you

something [Music]

how can you help anyone if you give everything you have away

I have to get out of here

[Music]

where are you going I can't stay here Octavius I'm leaving Greece but Grace is

the word way anchor captain we're leaving you can't do this because it's

because of the nickname don't call me new things she's coming with me I'm leaving I have

to go I'll come with you no Octavius you'll only remind me of my parents

so where are we going I don't know Anywhere But Here all right fellas you

heard the man goodbye Nicholas I sure hope you'll find what you're looking for

the story isn't very Christmassy that's because the ship hasn't landed on peppermint Island yet inhabited by

Herbie The Yodeling elf there's no such thing Larry there's sailing to the North Pole right Bob they don't meet elves and

they don't sail to the North Pole South Pole no Winter Wonderland nope

Toys R Us the happy young boy who had needed nothing now found himself with a

great big hole in his heart Nick and the crew spent several years

sailing the Mediterranean looking for something that would make him feel happy again

until finally right around the end of the year they came to a place called The Holy Land the place where Jesus was born

Nicholas remembered his father always talking about Jesus so he decided to go

check it out for himself all right now we're talking it's finally

feeling Christmasy great knickknacks

this is what Christmas is about uh no Larry I don't think in The Golden Girls

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause] thank you very much for coming

[Music]

oh boy

la la [Music]

this stuff doesn't make me feel any happier wonder if anything will make me feel

happy again huh

[Music] where is he going Bob let's see

[Music] this is a church built on the exact spot

in Bethlehem where Jesus was born Nativity Chapel wow I wonder if the

shepherd stood right here well Larry I can practically see the wise men God loves you

okay God loves you go in peace excuse me

man what are you doing I'm feeding the poor what are you doing I'm

um just standing God loves you go in peace do you do that to feel happy oh no

I do it because I am happy my love is a gift to them because God's love was a

gift to me what do you mean I can love because God loves me I can

give because God gave Jesus love is why I'm smiling why I'm giving every day

when the clouds are dark above me when the world is cold and gray I remember

how he loves me and again you'll hear me

say I can love because God loves me I

can give because God gave Jesus why I'm smiling why I'm giving

every day sister Claire explained to Nick how at

Christmas is the time when Jesus came near to us so that he could show everyone how much he loved them

so that's why I give to the poor Nicholas I'm so happy about the gift God

gave me and that's why my parents gave too Nicholas realized he wasn't alone

and he didn't feel like an orphan anymore he believed that God sent Jesus

for him because God loved him so much and he wanted to share that love by

helping others in me suddenly Nicholas knew what he needed to do it was time to

go home God loves you go in peace okay I'm ready too check out the Sea of

Galilee muffin pan you don't bake yet I don't bake yet [Music]

and now it's time for helpful humanitarian songs with Mr Lunt the part of the show where Mr lunch comes out and

sings a helpful humanitarian song when he's a Manger your pet if you saw him I

bet you'd walk the other way

so sad and alone with his hair overgrown like a stinky or to pay

but what is happening and doggies

and dog is like those deep fried treats that come from

donuts for me please give a glaze to make him smile thank you ma'am or

troubled Beast won't you at least

[Music]

[Music]

his broken hearts

all right just look at this pup he's brightening up oh he's looking not so we

call baby [Music]

in Vegas

maybe you shouldn't have any more Donuts

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music] thank you for your devoted service

Captain it's good to be home yeah welcome young Nicholas it's good to be

home [Music] Stars

[Music]

oh no ma'am I won't thank you you're welcome [Music]

do hereby a decree no citizen shall give from one to another a gift of any kind

or any value anyone caught in a violation of his decree shall be subject

to a fine of one gold coin and they said they cannot pay they will

be put in jail forever

it's gonna make it hard for me to help others Octavius that's great

who are you oh that's a good one get back I know how to use this it's good to

see you my old friend this would be a lot more tender if I know all your work it's me Nicholas

that's for not writing Octavius there's so much to tell you but that can wait

for not calling I came home to continue my parents work you see we don't give to

others because it makes us happy we give to others because we are happy because

Jesus first loved us bad ring Isabel that's what I learned when I was away

well good luck helping people now mayor Gustav is making it hard to do all sorts

of good things I heard but I believe God will show me how I can help others even

when it's not easy I think I have something that could help I've saved it

for you it belonged to your father it's a quote from Jesus from the sixth

chapter of Matthew but when you give to the needy do not let your left hand know

what your right hand is doing so that your giving may be in secret you'll know Nicholas what most people

saw from your father was only the tip of the iceberg well it's an iceberg I have

no idea the point is he helps people in so many ways most of which no one knew

about this is the answer to all our problems Octavius from now on we help people in secret right oh that's for not

bringing me back as souvenir here's a muffin man

oh does he have Galilee delicious

ah you didn't tell me fish had teeth [Music]

I know those girls always giving things away how are people like me supposed to

make an honest living when people are always giving things away but no more

to be patient wait a minute what's this

[Music]

business is in violation of the 3823602-11.20 not giving gifts each or

one of you has three days to pay the fine but all three of you will go to jail

maybe if you've spent more time working and less giving things away you wouldn't have enough problem three days

foreign [Music]

is that you put on some weight during your travels maybe a little how's

business fine as long as you're not back into giving fish away for free business

I'm at a mayor now you know uh-huh

what's this that's in a third mackerel I found out here today who's got the slippery fishy

fingers who is this wrapping my feet on the floor you got my fish you drop something that was way too close did you

see how Gustav looked at me there's got to be some better way of giving things in secret I have to help those girls you

can hide your real identity there's got to be something I can wear to hide my real identity maybe make some sort of a

disguise maybe it's some sort of Disguise like this or this or maybe this

Larry just moving the pot along Bob I've got it Octavius we have warmth

[Music]

[Music] it's definitely not Santa
