Rose, Dorothy, Sophia?
The coast is clear, come on in, Ed.
My roommates are still out shopping
so we have the place to ourselves.
Now it's time to find out who's naughty or nice.
Hey.
Rose, for the past half hour
you've been humming jingle bells and yelling hey.
Now why must you do that?
Because it's too hard
to hum the hey.
Catch me, catch me, catch me.
Let me take a wild guess.
You didn't expect us home this early?
Dorothy, Rose,
I'd like you to meet.
We know who he is, Blanche.
Santa, how could you?
Rose, this is Ed Kleckner.
He's working part time at the mall, he's on his break.
Santa is never off duty mister.
Get your cap, get your beard and get moving.
Rose.
I had to stand in line for an hour to sit on his lap.
Tough holly.
What would Mrs.Clause say?
Not to mention Mrs.Kleckner.
Girls, I want to give you
all my gift next, okay.
I just thought this was such a cute idea.
I made the same one for each of you.
Here. Sophia.
The men of Blanche's boudoir.
It's a calendar.
Each month has the picture of a man
who's brought some special joy into my life.
Oh Blanche, oh honey,
this is so thoughtful. Whoa.
September?
Yep.
I'm surprised you were able
to walk in October.
Now before we open the doors
I just want to thank you all
for taking time away from your own Christmas
to provide Christmas for some that are less fortunate.
We promise to turn away no one,
remembering how Mary and Joseph were turned away at the inn.
Reverend Avery,
it's always puzzled me.
Why didn't Mary and Joseph call ahead for reservations?
Oh boy, it is hell out there.
Oh, it must be at least 103 and the mall was impossible.
Did you get something
for the grandchildren?
Oh please.
Robbie wants a Batman hat.
I went to six different stores. They were all sold out.
I finally went to one store where they had one hat left,
and another woman saw it.
Oh, I cannot believe a person would push a perfect stranger
out of the way, step on her hand,
and give her an elbow to the forehead just for a Batman hat.
But I did it anyway.
This is from me Dorothy.
They're very popular back home.
It took me nearly a week to whittle it.
Oh Rose.
Do you like it?
Like it, oh honey, I love it.
Who wouldn't you love a wooden brooch
in the shape of a turkey's head?
No, that's a maple syrup spigot.
You know what she took back?
A set of pearl earrings.
The ones I fell in love
with at Jordan Marsh?
Yep. Ho, ho, ho.
You know, being here reminds me
of my favorite Christmas back in 1951,
which I spent at the USO,
making a better Christmas for our boys,
getting ready to leave for Korea.
I gave those servicemen something even
Mr.Bob Hope himself could not give them.
A rash.
Here you go sweetheart.
Why Rose,
it's a beautiful blouse.
I hope it's all right.
Dorothy said you'd like something crotch less.
The first noel,
the angels did say.
Did I ever tel you about the time,
one Christmas we tried to launch a production
of a Christmas Carol with an all chicken cast.
God, look at the time.
Oh my God, I don't believe it/.
What?
Take a look.
That's snow.
Yeah, it's kind of light
and wimpy, but it is snow.
A white Christmas in Miami.
Can you beat that?
This calls for some
Christmas music.
(music). I think I pushed the wrong button.
Rose, don't worry about it.
Somehow this Christmas it fits.
(music).
