[SINGING] La, la, la, la.
La, la, la, la.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Elmo's full of wonder.
Wonder what he will discover in Elmo's Wonderful World.
[GIGGLES] Hi.
Welcome to Elmo's World.
Oh, guess what Elmo is wondering about today.
Wait for it.
[GIGGLES] Celebrations.
[CHUCKLES]
[BLOWS NOISEMAKER]
Yeah.
Elmo's friends are having a big celebration.
Hooray!
[BLOWS NOISEMAKER]
Yay!
[GIGGLES] Boy, Elmo thinks celebrations are lots of fun.
Ooh.
And Elmo wants to learn more about them.
You know what to do.
Let's ask Smartie.
Let's call her together.
Oh, Smartie!
[TINKLING]
Hiya, Elmo.
[GIGGLES] Hi, Smartie.
Here I am.
Ready to party.
Yeah, baby.
Oh, that's perfect because Elmo wants to learn
all about celebrations today.
Well, what do we do to learn something new?
We look it up.
Searching for celebrations.
Celebrations are a fun way to enjoy
all kinds of special occasions like birthdays or winning
a big game.
There are celebrations for holidays
too, like 4th of July, Halloween, or Christmas.
Sometimes people wear special clothes and make especial food.
People have celebrations all over the world--
Carnevale, Ramadan, and Yee Peng Lantern Festival.
They really light me up.
Elmo wants to celebrate having so many nice friends,
especially you Smartie.
Aw.
Me too, Elmo.
Yeah.
Got to boogie.
We're having a birthday celebration
for my great great grandfather, Crank.
[GIGGLES]
See you later, Elmo.
Oh, goodbye, Smartie.
Have fun.
Boy, Elmo's learning so much about celebrations.
Hey!
That gives Elmo an idea.
Oh, come on.
Let's play a game together.
Yeah.
Come on.
There are party hats, but one is missing.
Come on.
Let's finish the pattern.
Are you ready?
Let's play.
Elmo wonders which hat goes here.
Let's see.
There's a hat with stripes, and a hat with polka dots,
and stripes, and polka dots, stripes.
Which one of these hats comes next?
This one?
No.
That's not it.
That hat has zigzags.
Oh, get out of here, hat.
So which hat really goes here?
The polka dot one.
OK.
Let's see what we got.
Stripes, polka dots, stripes, polka dots, stripes,
polka dots.
Yay!
We did it!
We finished the pattern.
Boy, Elmo loves celebrating.
Oh, and that makes Elmo wonder even more.
Does Mr. Noodle celebrate anything?
Oh, oh.
Let's ask him.
[GIGGLES] Hi, Mr. Noodle.
Oh, Mr. Noodle, Elmo was wondering,
do you celebrate anything?
You do?
Oh, show us how you celebrate, Mr. Noodle.
Yeah.
Show us how.
That's not how you celebrate, Mr. Noodle.
He's swimming.
Some celebrations have decorations.
Oh, he decorated himself.
[GIGGLES] Mr. Noodle, a celebration
isn't when you decorate yourself.
No.
It's when you throw a party for something.
[GIGGLING] Try again, Mr. Noodle.
He's having a celebration.
Yeah.
That's right.
Mr. Noodle and Schmoodle are celebrating being friends.
Good work.
Thank you for showing us how to celebrate, Mr. Noodle.
Thanks, Schmoodle.
[BARKS]
Boy, learning new things makes Elmo so happy,
it makes him want to dance.
Come on.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[SINGING] Happy, happy, dance, dance.
Happy, happy, dance, dance.
When we learn something new, we do the happy dance, dance.
Let's see your happy dance.
Yeah!
Cool.
See you next time.
Keep learning.
Elmo loves you.
Happy, happy, dance, dance.
When we learn something new, we do the happy dance, dance.
Yay!
