To the front door, Bear!

It's a Reindeer Wreath!

Oh! A wreath for a reindeer.

What a great idea!

But what's with all this stuff?

Oh it's cool things
reindeers like!

Like some apples in case
they get hungry...

And a tennis ball in case
they want to play catch...

Yeah, 'cause you never know.

Oh, how very considerate.

I'm sure Donner and Blitzen

and the other reindeer will
be very grateful.

Yeah, 'cause they probably-

[gasps]

Bear, you know the reindeer!

Oh sure!

I met them years ago.

There isn't an animal

who works harder this
time of year than reindeer.

Wow!

Hey, you guys.

Oh my gosh, I thought

that I was going to help
decorate the wreath!

But,
Ojo you were making cookies.

-Oh no, but I was...
-Cookies! That's my job!

And weren't you otters
gonna wrap presents!

Well, we did that.

[cheering]

Treelo do the wreath!

No, Treelo, you're supposed
to hang stockings.

Excuse me, but um

this is, uh...

[talking all]

There's so much to do for
the holidays and everyone

Bear?

-I don't get it.
- Bear. How could we forget?

Yeah you're kind of big!

-Hello!
-Yeah! [chuckles]

Listen. I have an idea.

Why doesn't everybody put
what they want

onto the Wreath and then
we can hang it up together.

-Good idea.
-That's a great idea.

Oh boy.

Okay. Well, why don't
I get the honey sticks!

[cheering]

-Treelo!
-Come on, Treelo!

You can't do that!
That's not funny!

All for Treelo!
The present mine!

Whoa, guys, what's happening?

Bear!

Treelo thinks all
the presents are for him!

Bear! Some of those presents
are mine and I want them back!

Yeah,
Treelo, it's just not fair.

[chuckles]

Well you know, it's
a little early for presents.

Huh?

But Treelo want presents!

Well,
Treelo, I want my presents, too!

Come on everybody let's
go get our presents.

Yeah! Let's go get our presents.

Woa, Woa, Woa!
Hold it, hold it everybody!

You know, there's more
to the holidays

than just getting presents.

No way.

He's kidding isn't he?

[talking all]

[howling]

What was that?

[howling]

What a sad sound.

-Yeah.
-It was.

We better go take a look.

-Okay.
-Alright.

Oh my!

[howling]

It's-it's an old hound dog.

Oh.

He's cold.

What should we do, Bear?

Well, the first thing
we're going to do is

bring him inside
and warm him up.

Mmm. Okay.

There you go, old fella.

A nice warm blanket.

-Who is he?
-Yeah, yeah.

And what was he doing out
in the snow all alone?

Doesn't he have a home?

Huh, huh? Wh-what?
What was that?

Oh. Where am I?

Oh, it's two otters, a lemur,

a-a little bear,

a mouse and a big bear.

Mm-hmm.

Whoa, I hope this is heaven

otherwise...

Oh, oh. It's ok, it's ok,
you're in the Big Blue House!

Yeah.

Oh, I remember seeing
a Big Blue House.

Yeah.

It looked so warm
and cozy inside.

So you say this is that place?

Well, yes, it is.

I'm Bear.

What's your name, old timer?

Jack! Jack the dog they call me.

Because well, my name is Jack
and well, I'm a dog I guess.

There's no mistaking that.

-Oh, um Mr. Jack...
-Hm?

uh, where-where do you live?

Oh [laughter]... well
I guess I'm kind of

between homes right now.

My last one didn't work out,

something about digging up

the rosebushes or
some darn thing.

So I'm kind of homeless,
if you know what I mean.

[gasps] You mean
you have no home?

-TREELO: No home?
-And it's Christmas!

Well, well look,
I better get moving along now,

you look like good folks
and I don't want to

-spoil your holiday...
-No. Please.

Hold on there, Jack. Hey, hey.

Why don't you lay down
and take a little rest.

This is a pretty big blue house.

Why don't you stay here.

Well, I don't know.

I mean,
I would enjoy the company.

I don't have fleas,

so you know
I do get kind of lonely.

There was an old flea,
Matilda...

Oh, I remember her.

Oh, she was a doozey and...

...aaah...

[snoring]

He's sleeping!

Shhh... He must be really tired.

Mm-hmm.

There you go, Jack.

You rest now.

What did he mean, he's homeless?

No home?

Everyone should have a home.

Yeah and it's the Holidays!

How can that happen to anyone
during the Holidays?

Oh, but Tutter, don't
think he has a home

even when it's not Christmas.

[gasps]

Well I've got to go
back to the pond to think

I about this one.

Me too.

No home.

Well, I-I'm going to get some
more covers for Mr. Jack.

Yeah. Okay.

I think I'll get
Jack a glass of water.

[sighs]

Um,

Tutter, is everything okay?

Oh, uh, sure Bear.

Um, but I was just thinking,

is it true, what that old dog
said about not having a home?

I mean being homeless?

Oh.

Well, um,

yes.

You see, sometimes
for one reason or another,

people lose their homes.

Those people are
called "homeless"

but they're still
the same as you and me.

He,
he seems like a pretty nice dog.

Yeah.

-Bear?
-Hmm?

I was just wondering,

kind of,
what if, you know, what if,

what if that happened to me?

♪ What if there was
No Big Blue House? ♪

♪ Where would
I have my mousehole? ♪

♪ Where would I keep my bed ♪

♪ And all my clothes ♪

♪ Where would I play
With all my friends ♪

♪ Would I have friends
To play with? ♪

♪ What would become of me
Do you suppose? ♪

♪ How would you find me Bear? ♪

♪ Would you look
Everywhere for me? ♪

♪ For Ojo, and Pip and Pop ♪

♪ And Treelo, too? ♪

♪ If I didn't have my home ♪

♪ What would I do? ♪

♪ What would I do? ♪

Tutter, the big blue house
Isn't going anywhere...

Are you sure, Bear?

Aww Tutter...

♪ Right here with me
Is where you belong ♪

♪ Right here you have
Your mousehole ♪

♪ Right here is where ♪

♪ You'll play with all
your friends ♪

♪ But why do some people
Have no home? ♪

♪ It doesn't seem fair ♪

I know, Tutter-

♪ I wish we could bring
Their troubles to an end ♪

♪ Bear, what if all of us here ♪

♪ Could spread just
A little love around? ♪

♪ Do you think we'll have
Made a difference ♪

♪ When we're done ♪

♪ Well-if we do
All that we can do ♪

♪ By the time
That we are through ♪

♪ We can bring
A little happiness ♪

♪ To everyone ♪

Well, Tutter,
those are some nice thoughts.

Some very good thoughts
on this winter's eve.

Yeah.

-Bear?
-Hmm?

I'm gonna go see if I've
got anything

that I can give O' Jack

that might
make him feel a little better.

-Ok, Tutter.
-Bye.

Bye. See you later.

Hey,
let's go see how Jack's doing.

Come on.

Ok Billy I'll fetch the ball,

you just throw it!

Come on, Billy, throw her!

Hmm?

Oh he-hello, Bear.

My golly, you're a big fella.

But then you're a bear,
that probably explains it.

Well, yeah, [chuckles]
that probably does.

Well you know Bear, your
little folks around here

are cuter than pups
rollin' around in fresh milk.

But I really think it's time
for me to head on down the road

and find the next fire hydrant,
if you know what I mean...

No, no,
no, Jack you see, it's okay...

-Um, Bear?
-Mmm?

Go ahead, Tutter. You ask him.

-Okay, okay.
-Ask him.

Um, Bear

um, um, Mr. Jack...

-Yes Tutter?
-Um, well me and...

-Ojo!
-And Pip and Pop

And Treelo too

Yeah, we think that,
if it's ok with you, Bear,

if you think it's ok, um

we'd like Jack to stay
with us for the holidays

because see we'd like to...

No. Now, now, now, you don't
need to worry about me.

No, no, no, no.

But,
Jack, I think it's a great idea.

Why don't you stay?

Yeah.

Well I can think of a hundred
dozen reasons

from your point of view but...

But, well, we want to give
you the best Christmas

that you've ever had!

Happy Holidays, Jack!

Yeah! [chuckles]

Wha-?

You mean it, don't you?

Why, that's better than
a soup bone and a dry bed!

Well, I accept.

Happy Holidays everybody!

Yay!

-Happy holidays!
-Boy oh boy!

Would you like a bowl of water?

Sleep well, old Jack.
Happy holidays.

-Bear? Bear!
-Hmm?

I'm over here.

Tutter, shouldn't you be asleep?

Well, yeah,
but I was just thinking Bear.

I just wanted you to know
that I was thinking

that you were right.

There is more to the holidays
than just getting presents.

Wow, Tutter.

-That's very smart of you.
-[chuckles]

And you're right.

Helping other creatures
always feels good,

whether it's a holiday or not.

Yeah, did you see the smile
on old Jack's face.

That was better than
any present, I think.

-You know, Tutter, you're right.
-Yeah...

[yawning]

Well, Tutter, I think it's
time you went to sleep.

[chuckles] Ok Bear!
Ok! Night night!

Happy Holidays.
Oh, goodnight old Jack!

Hmm.

Night, Tutter.

Pleasant dreams.

[sigh]

And not a creature was stirring

not even a mouse. [chuckles]

[deep breathing]

Isn't the otter pond
beautiful in the snow?

Oh and look!

It's Luna!

Hello, Luna!

Hello, Bear!

Happy holidays!

Happy holidays to you Luna!

Wow!

You look beautiful.

Oh!

Winter becomes you!

[chuckles] Why thank you, Bear.

-Bear...
-Hmm?

... as I was getting ready
to rise this winter's eve,

I think I heard
an old hound howl.

Oh.

Well that was Jack the dog,
he doesn't have a home.

Oh my.

But Ojo,
Tutter, Treelo and Pip and Pop

have invited him to stay!

And they're going to give him
the best holiday he's ever had!

Oh. Isn't that wonderful!

Yeah it's great.

You know Bear

of all the evenings
during the year that I rise,

this is my favorite.

Really?

Oh. There's just something
about the air on Christmas Eve.
