I am always available to help Ellen whenever she asks.
And a while back, Ellen asked me to help out
some holiday shoppers by wrapping their gifts at a mall.
So, that's what I did.
Roll it.
[MUSIC - "CHRISTMAS WRAPPING"]
(SINGING) Deck those halls.
Trim those trees.
Raise up cups of Christmas cheer.
I just need to catch my breath.
Hi, Ellen.
Ho, ho, ho.
It's the holidays.
So I decided to come to the mall,
to give the gift of wrapping gifts, which
is my gift to the people.
(SINGING) Hardly dashing through the snow. 'Cause I
bundled up too tight.
Hello.
I'm Ellie.
I'll be wrapping your gifts today.
Oh my.
I'm not sure this is appropriate for daytime television.
That's for my husband.
Look at these women.
I know, right?
Do you really want to give this to him?
It's in the garage.
I won't see it.
OK.
You won't see much of him either though.
I don't know if that's what--
I'm not a marriage counselor.
I have made that mistake before.
I am simply a gift wrapper and a joy giver.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
You know, Ellen, a wise man once said, a Christmas morn--
hey, ma'am!
Sorry.
Do you need that to be wrapped?
It's ice cream.
Let's wrap it.
Wrap it for what?
For you, you silly!
It won't last till Christmas.
It's ice cream.
Have you ever been a part of a Christmas miracle?
Because you're about to be.
(SINGING) Christmas miracles on Christmas.
That's going to smell.
(SINGING) Nonetheless it's Christmas,
and on Christmas morning, everything
smells like snowflakes.
Merry Christmas, angel.
Thanks.
(SINGING) Fa, la, la, la, la.
Do you need me to wrap something?
Yeah, please.
Hi.
OK.
All right.
Off to the races.
That is too much paper.
I am doing subpar work.
I'm very sorry.
I need to have a moment.
I need to think about what I did.
So I have to go sit in the Potato Corner.
[SLAMMING]
Hi.
Merry Christmas.
Oh my gosh, how old is your baby?
21 months.
I'm sorry.
I cannot wrap children under four.
Let me just get that wrapper.
I think, we can just--
oh shoot!
Just a minute.
Sir?
Sir, at the sunglasses kiosk?
Could you help me?
Thank you.
Just throw it up.
Just throw it up with Christmas cheer.
Oh yeah, if you both--
if you add some weight.
It takes a village.
Thank you.
Oh!
Thank you.
Merry Christmas to all.
Oh.
And your hair band--
with lots of hair on it.
Free gift wrapping?
Free gift wrapping.
That's great.
A lot of people do red and green for Christmas,
but I think it's important to think out of the box.
No, no, no, no, no.
This.
Well, I'm gift-wrapping, so--
Yes.
I know.
I know, but I don't think that goes.
Well, I think--
That goes.
Do you have silver?
Silver.
OK, there's silver.
Stop.
Stop it.
Could we do silver?
The choice is-- the choice is mine.
I think silver or red because it matches.
Please.
OK.
All right.
So what do you want?
Red or silver with me.
Really not--
I get what you think.
Do you know what?
Do you want to just give me the ribbon?
If you want to just go sit in Potato Corner,
and stop telling the wrapper how to wrap--
Potato corner?
(SINGING) Oh.
I'll be home for Christmas.
If only--
Aren't you going to do this side?
You're not going to put--
(SINGING) Don't tell me what to do,
or I'm going to put you in Potato Corner.
Jingle bells, jingle bells.
Could you just put another piece of tape there?
Well, Ellen, I did it.
I wrapped some gifts, spread some cheer,
and came out wiser and merrier.
Happy holidays, everyone.
Bye.
[APPLAUSE]
That lady got what she had coming.
She deserved some time in Potato Corner.
Thank you to everyone who helped make that video happen,
and we will be back.
