- [Narrator] As the sun began to set,
Grant was feeling lost.
He still wasn't sure of the true meaning of Christmas.
As old Jack Frost blew a storm outside, he went to find
his friends to see if they had an idea.
- Do you think it's smart
that we both got him whiskey stones?
- You can never have too much ice you have to wash.
Hey, Grant, you look like you're going through
a pointless crisis.
- I'm trying to figure out the true meaning of Christmas.
- Oh, I was right.
- Hey, I heard you singing earlier.
Were you preparing for the Christmas song showcase tonight?
- Oh I completely forgot about the song showcase.
- You do know that singing is the true meaning of Christmas.
- Really? (gentle piano)
- What should we sing tonight?
- We could sing Deck the Halls, Hark the Herald Angel Sing.
- Yeah, I'm not familiar with those.
- Really?
They're pretty well known songs.
They're as well known as like Joy to the World
or Jingle Bells or Jolly Old Saint Nicholas.
- Yeah, I haven't heard of those either.
- What songs have you heard?
- Tons of songs, the Elf Overture, the March
of the Tiny Snowmen, Bouncer the Hunchback Reindeer.
- I don't think I know any of those songs.
- Yeah, same.
- Really, those are my favorites.
- Maybe it's like Dominic the Donkey, you know?
It's like one of those songs you've either heard
a million times as a kid or not at all.
- That makes sense.
Now I will say I am particularly good at singing
Away in a Manger.
- Classic, everyone likes that song.
- No, obviously we have to include Winter Boogey Woogey.
- How does that go again?
♪ It was a winter boogie woogie ♪
♪ And the fireplace was hot ♪
♪ I heard Santa scream ♪
♪ Hi ho beeka bi bee bo bo. ♪
- The fuck, what?
No, you heard Santa scream?
- Yes, hi ho beeka bi bee bo bo.
- Why wouldn't he say, ho, ho, ho?
- Maybe it's like that donkey song that you were
talking about where like either you've heard a bunch
or not at all.
- This is not like the donkey song.
- Sounds like the donkey song.
- Guys, guys, guys, why don't we just do
It Came Upon a Midnight Clear?
- Yeah, okay, I can get behind that.
- I'm not familiar with that, it sounds like it might
be nice but obviously, it goes without saying
that we have to include Santa's Reindeer Threat.
- I don't know that, I don't know what that is.

- It's weird how we don't know any of the same songs.
Maybe because I'm Catholic so I know the traditional ones.
- I know religious songs too.
You guys must've heard of Oh, Holy Night.
- Yes, yes okay, there's one, there's one we all know.

- I've never heard your version.
- Where did you grow up?
Didn't they play normal Christmas songs on the radio.
- These were the songs my family listened to in Chicago.
Look, I'm just as confused as you guys are.
- Name another song, there must be one we have in common.
