But Santa sent me here
to give you these presents, Ben.
Maybe the lady will help me with these presents.
Wow, thanks.
You're welcome, Ben.
Merry Christmas.
Ooh, and Happy Hanukkah.
Are you for Hanukkah, too?
Because I'm part Jewish.
[gasping] You are? Me, too!
Because armadillos also wandered in the desert?
You want to wander in the hall?
Ooh, Ben, what if the Holiday Armadillo
told you all about the Festival of Lights?
Cool!
- Yeah. - Come on, Ben.
Years and years ago
there were these people called the Maccabees.
Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas.
Santa!
Hey!
What are you doing here, Santa?
Well, I'm here to see my old buddy, Ben.
What are you doing here
weird...turtle man?
I'm the Holiday Armadillo
your part Jewish friend.
You sent me here
to give Ben some presents, remember?
What?
Did you bring me any presents, Santa?
You bet I did, Ben.
Put her there.
Well, it would've worked this time
if his hands weren't so damned small.
Ho, ho, ho!
Okay, Ben, why don't you open more presents
and Santa, the Armadillo and I
will have a little talk in the kitchen.
There's a sentence I never thought I'd say.
What are you doing?
You called everyone and said
you were having trouble finding a Santa costume
so I borrowed one from a guy at work.
Thank you, but-but y-you got to leave.
Why?
Because I'm finally
getting him excited about Hanukkah.
I mean you-you're wrecking it.
But I didn't get to shake my belly
like a bowlful of jelly.
I'm sorry, Chandler, but this
this is really important to me.
Okay, fine. I'll, I'll give the suit back.
Hey.
You think you can keep it another night?
Santa? Really?
Yeah, is that okay?
Did your dad ever dress up like Santa?
- No. - Then it's okay!
Okay, Ben, Santa has to go.
Say goodbye.
No, why does he have to go?
Hm-m, because if Santa and the Holiday...Armadillo
are ever in the same room for too long
the universe will implode.
Merry Christmas!
No, why can't the Armadillo leave?
I want Santa.
Fine, I-I give up.
Santa, Santa can stay.
Well, I'll stay
but only because I want to hear about Hanukkah.
Ben, will you sit here with Santa and learn about Hanukkah?
Okay, Santa.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
'Alright.'
It's time for the story of Hanukkah.
Years and years ago
there were these people called the Maccabees.
Merry Christmas!
