00:00Thank you, Doctor, for dropping by tonight.
00:21I wish I could tell you that Tommy's going to get well by Christmas, but I can't.
00:26To tell you the truth, I've tried everything possible.
00:30I know you have, Doctor.
00:32I just wish we knew what was wrong with him.
00:35Tommy's not even interested in his music anymore.
00:38His sister reads to him every night, hoping something will snap him out of it.
00:43Where were we, Tommy?
00:44Oh, I remember.
00:45The handsome prince was searching everywhere for the beautiful maiden.
00:52Gee, what a wonderful day!
00:58A perfect day for Christmas shopping!
01:09Let's go!
01:13Hey, wake up, wake up!
01:22Only five more days till Christmas.
01:27Let's wake him up with a song.
01:29Wake up, Dave!
01:32It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
01:36Time to get up everywhere you go.
01:39Wake up, Dave.
01:40Take a look in the five and ten
01:42Glistening once again
01:44With candy canes and silver lanes aglow
01:47Good morning!
01:57Theodore, Simon, Alvin!
02:01Yes, David dear?
02:03I am fully aware that there are only five more days before Christmas
02:09And three hundred and seventy days until next Christmas!
02:19And furthermore!
02:27You can't just run in here and wake me up and...
02:35Wait a minute, you guys
02:39Gee, that sounds pretty!
03:09It's criminal!
03:10Aw, come on, you guys
03:12It's only a little recording session
03:14It worked!
03:16Maybe I'll even let you play your harmonica, Alvin
03:19My harmonica!
03:39You see, Alvin, it's your responsibility to...
03:42Right, Dave!
03:43Responsibility!
03:45We'll share the responsibility!
03:47You go on and get the studio ready
03:50And we'll go window shopping!
03:52Well, that sounds fair enough
03:54Hey! Don't be late!
03:58Gashing through the stores
04:00On a chipmunk's skating board
04:02Through the crowds we play
04:04Shopping all the way
04:06Stockings hung with care
04:08Soon Santa will be here
04:10What fun it is to shop all day
04:12When Dave is nowhere near
04:14Oh, Christmas time, Christmas time, Christmas time is here
04:25See? That's your very own twin brother!
04:28You're the best harmonicas in the whole world!
04:31Oh, Mommy! There it is!
04:34The Golden Echo Harmonica!
04:38It's the one Tommy wants more than anything in the world!
04:42Can't we buy it for him, Mommy?
04:44Oh, it'd make him feel so much better!
04:47I know, darling
04:49Maybe next year we can afford it
04:51But Tommy will just die if he doesn't get his harmonica
04:55Don't say that, darling
04:57You know how very, very sick Tommy is
05:00We must save everything we can
05:03Just to see that Tommy makes it through Christmas
05:09What does that mean, Mommy?
05:11Make it through Christmas
05:13I still don't understand, Mommy
05:15He won't make what through Christmas?
05:26Ready, fellas?
05:27Ready whenever you are, Dave
05:29Christmas, Christmas, time is near
05:34Time for joy, time for care
05:37Hold it, Alvin, you're a little flat
05:38Let's try it again
05:39We've been good, but we didn't wear
05:46Well?
05:48I'll tell you what, Dave
05:50Let's take a break
05:52Take a break?
05:53Gee, thanks, Dave
05:55Alvin!
05:59Alvin!
06:15Mommy, it's Alvin!
06:17Tommy, you have a guest
06:20It's probably another doctor
06:23Well, no, I'm not a doctor
06:26I'm a sort of delivery boy
06:29Oh, hi, Alvin
06:31What are you delivering?
06:33More medicine?
06:35No, you see, Tommy
06:37They had this kind of prize contest
06:40Down at the department store
06:42In the music department
06:45And, uh, somebody put your name in
06:48And, well, anyway, Tommy
06:51You won first prize
06:53It is the Golden Echo Harmonica
06:58The Golden Echo Harmonica
07:03Well, gotta go
07:05Merry Christmas
07:13Mr. Saville, you're running out of studio time
07:16Well, I guess we'll just have to record Alvin later
07:19Ready, fellas?
07:21Hey, Dave
07:23One, two, three, one, two, three
07:26Christmas, Christmas
07:29Time is near
07:31Time for joy
07:33And time for cheer
07:36We've been good
07:38But we can't last
07:40Hurry, Christmas
07:43Hurry fast
07:45Want a plane
07:47That loops the loop
07:50I want a hula hoop
07:53We can hardly stand the wait
07:58Please, Christmas, don't be late
08:08I'll get it
08:10Hello
08:11Oh, hi, Mr. Berkheimer
08:13No, of course it's not too late to talk business
08:17Oh, yes, I intend to follow through with your suggestion
08:20Boy, Alvin, I can't believe you gave your harmonica away
08:24Me either
08:25But I just knew it would make Tommy feel better
08:28Did you tell Dave?
08:30I can't tell Dave
08:31Dave gave me that harmonica
08:34I'll have to save my money and get another one after Christmas
08:38It's all set for Christmas Eve?
08:40That's great
08:42It's Carnegie Hall
08:44You guys are going to play there for a sold-out audience
08:48Gee whiz
08:50Fantastic
08:51Oh, boy
08:53You want Alvin to do a harmonica solo?
09:00Harmonica?
09:01But Alvin gave his harmonica
09:03How about that, Alvin?
09:05Wonderful, Dave
09:07Alvin's so excited about it, he can't wait
09:11Yeah, now I can't wait until after Christmas to get that harmonica
09:16I've got to make some money before Christmas
09:19Fast
09:20That's the neighbor's dog
09:23Hey, I've got a great idea
09:26Now here's what I want you guys to do
09:29Go up to the attic, then get the neighbor's dog
09:42Hurry, hurry
09:45Get your picture taken with Santa Claus
09:48Only 25 cents
09:50Everybody ready?
09:53Camera's ready and all the reindeer are hooked up
09:58Ho, ho, ho
10:00Ho, ho, ho
10:03Ho, ho
10:08Okay, bring on the customers
10:11Ho, ho, ho
10:16Ho, ho, ho
10:20Ho, ho, ho
10:24Okay, shoot!
10:28Ho, ho, ho
10:32Ho, ho, ho
10:35Wait a minute, Sonny. Not so fast.
10:45What's going on out there?
10:47What's all this?
10:48We're helping Alvin make money.
10:49Alvin!
10:50My name's not Alvin. It's Santa.
10:51All right, Santa. I'd like a word with you and your elves.
10:52I'm sorry. You'll have to wait.
10:54Now, just a minute.
10:55And what's your name, little girl?
10:56Cindy-lou.
10:57What a nice cat you have, Cindy-lou. Cat?
10:58Cat!
10:59Oh, no!
11:00Help!
11:01Help!
11:02Oh, no!
11:03Help!
11:04Oh, no!
11:05Oh, no!
11:06Cat!
11:07Cat!
11:08Cat!
11:09Cat!
11:10Cat!
11:11Cat!
11:12Cat!
11:13Cat!
11:14Cat!
11:15Cat!
11:16Cat!
11:17Cat!
11:18Cat!
11:19Cat!
11:20Cat!
11:21Cat!
11:22Alvin. Yes, Dave? You want a word with us?
11:39I'd say it's about time we remember how lucky we all are and think about the real meaning
11:46of Christmas. You remember that poem I wrote a few years ago, The Spirit of Christmas?
11:52Oh, no, Dave. Not that again. Honest, Dave, we remember it very well. We still don't know
12:01what to do about Carnegie Hall. To get the Christmas spirit means...
12:08To give it. Money. We've got to make more money.
12:12You don't make a Christmas list. You make it. Maybe somebody will give you some money.
12:19It's what you give to others, your sisters and your brothers, and especially...
12:26To those you've never met. I've never met anybody that would give me money.
12:33Yes, Christmas, Christmas, Christmastime. A giving, giving, giving time. So let's all
12:40give a cheer for... Money. Money? And just what is this talk about money?
12:48Well, you see, Dave, Alvin's just got to get some money. I see. And just what does Alvin
12:55need money for? For an operation. Well, actually, Dave, Alvin wants to buy a present.
13:03Well, that's different. And who is this present for? It's for himself. For himself?
13:11So that's what the spirit of Christmas means to you, Alvin? Buying presents for yourself?
13:17But... You better go on up to your room and think about the meaning of Christmas.
13:21It means a lot more than making money or buying yourself presents. But, Dave...
13:28No buts about it. Get in your room. You should have stuck with my line about the operation.
13:36Maybe you should have told him about Tommy. Dave, can I talk to you a minute?
13:43There's nothing more to say, Alvin. Are you still mad at me, Dave?
13:48No. I'm just very disappointed. Good night.
13:55How can you play a harmonica at Carnegie Hall if you don't have a harmonica?
14:06So I gotta have money! Money! Money! Money!
14:19Alvin, I'm very disappointed in you. Very disappointed. You've lost the spirit of Christmas.
14:30But, Dave, you don't understand.
14:35Did someone knock? Is this the loan department?
14:38Loan department? Where? Where? Oh, there you are. So you're the loan department?
14:45No. I was hoping you were the loan department. Because I need a loan.
14:51Well, of course you're a loan. There's nobody with you. There's so little time and so much to do.
14:56Like filling that empty little heart of yours with the spirit of Christmas.
15:01But I haven't lost the Christmas spirit. I...
15:04Well, of course you haven't. I haven't finished inventing it yet.
15:09Not the wheel, not the Wild West, not even the baby was as difficult to invent as the spirit of Christmas.
15:19But I have begun with Santy Claus. That's Santy for Santy and Claus for Claus.
15:26Santy Claus. A kind man with a beard and a hat.
15:32One look at Santy and you'll be overflowing with Christmas spirit.
15:37Voila!
15:40That's Santy Claus?
15:42If that isn't Santy Claus, I'll eat that cute, chubby little reindeer over there.
15:59There's nothing quite like the exhilaration of discovery.
16:04So far, perfect.
16:07You don't understand. I haven't lost the Christmas spirit.
16:11I need money to buy an echo harmonica.
16:14Money? What is money?
16:17You buy things with it, like harmonicas.
16:20It sounds like a wonderful invention.
16:23Yes, I will have to invent money.
16:27It will go perfectly with my last invention, the I-O-U.
16:36That's Ma for Ma and Annie for Annie. Money.
16:40Not bunny, money!
16:45I need money! Money! Money!
16:50Maybe I was a little hard on Alvin. I think I'll tell him that I...
16:54Money! I need money!
16:57I give up.
17:01Before you go to the store to buy the harmonica, I'd like to donate this to the cause.
17:07A cookie?
17:09A cookie? Oh, I forgot.
17:12I used up my allowance buying cookies.
17:19Here's the money I was saving for a new book.
17:22Gee, thanks, fellas.
17:24Good luck, Alvin.
17:26He doesn't have enough money to buy that harmonica.
17:30Okay, fellas, let's get ready for Carnegie Hall. Where's Alvin?
17:35Uh, he's not here right now.
17:38That's perfect. Two hours before the Christmas Eve concert and...
17:44Hello? No, Alvin's not here, Mrs. Waterford.
17:48Alvin's harmonica?
17:51It worked wonders for Tommy? That's a miracle!
17:55Excuse me a minute, Mrs. Waterford.
17:58Well, it's about time you guys told me the whole story.
18:04Gee, I sure wish I had enough money to buy that harmonica.
18:09Pardon me, young man, but I need help.
18:12Me? You need my help?
18:14I knew it. I just knew that you would understand.
18:19But how can I...
18:21I thought so. I said to myself,
18:24now, there's a young man who wouldn't mind if a lonely old lady
18:28who is very, very far away from home
18:31bought him a Christmas present.
18:34A Christmas present?
18:36A harmonica. How would you like an echo harmonica?
18:40An echo harmonica?
18:42But you don't even know me.
18:44No fair changing your mind now.
18:47Just wait here and I'll be right back.
18:52It can't be. I don't believe it.
18:55Yes, young man. One golden echo harmonica.
18:59I must be dreaming again.
19:04Here you are. I wrapped it myself.
19:09No thanks now. I won't have it.
19:12But maybe you'll play something for me.
19:37Holy infant so tender and mild
19:54Sleep in heavenly peace
20:00Sleep in heavenly peace
20:06Alvin, I owe you an apology.
20:08That was a wonderful thing you did for Tommy.
20:11That's okay. Where'd she go?
20:14Where did who go? I didn't see any...
20:16That nice lady who gave me the harmonica for Christmas.
20:20She just disappeared.
20:22Dave, we better get going.
20:25We don't want to be late for Carnegie Hall.
20:27And we have a surprise for you when we get there, Alvin.
20:32Just hear those sleigh bells jingle
20:35It's blinking, tingling too
20:38Come on, it's lovely weather
20:40For a sleigh ride together with you
20:43Outside the snow is falling
20:45And friends are calling you-hoo
20:47Come on, it's lovely weather
20:49For a sleigh ride together with you
21:01Sleigh bells jingle
21:19Tommy! But how did you...
21:22Gee, Alvin, your solo was great!
21:25This is the surprise I was telling you about, Alvin.
21:30Tommy is all better? He sure is. We all wanted to surprise you.
21:36Tommy, got your echo harmonica with you?
21:39Sure do.
21:40Well, come on. We've got some celebrating to do.
21:45Ladies and gentlemen, I want you to meet a very special friend of mine.
21:50He's come a long way to help us celebrate the best Christmas Eve ever.
22:01Deck the world with smiling faces, Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
22:10Bringing joy to sadder places, Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
22:18Friends and love is what we need, Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
22:25But don't forget your gift for me, Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
22:38We wish you a Merry Christmas, We wish you a Merry Christmas,
22:43We wish you a Merry Christmas, And a Happy New Year!
22:54Merry Christmas!
23:13Well, how did it go, darling?
23:16Oh, just fine, sweetheart, just fine.
23:19You know, you really ought to get out some Christmas and see how the rest of the world lives.
23:25Oh, I don't know. Making children happy is your job.
23:30I guess I'm just an old homebody.
23:38Shhh.
23:49Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
23:56Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
24:04Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
