00:00Mary and Sue headed outside to build a snowman in their yard.
00:05They topped off their frosty creation with a black hat.
00:09The next morning they were shocked to find the hat missing.
00:12Determined to find the culprit, they questioned their neighbors.
00:17Mrs. Lee said she'd been busy baking cookies all evening and hadn't seen a thing.
00:22Mr. Carter claimed it was too cold to step outside.
00:26Tim, the boy next door, said he hadn't noticed anything out of the ordinary.
00:31So who snatched the hat?
00:41It was Tim.
00:42He mentioned he hadn't seen anything unusual, but how could he know that if he hadn't
00:46looked outside?
00:47Plus, let's face it, pulling off a snowman's hat is exactly the kind of mischief a kid
00:52would get up to!
00:55On Christmas Eve, the Johnsons hung five stockings above the fireplace, one for each family member.
01:02The next morning they found a sixth stocking filled with candy.
01:06No one fessed up to adding it.
01:08Who was the mystery stocking stuffer?
01:18It was Santa, of course!
01:19He left the extra stocking as a sweet surprise, just like he loves to do!
01:26On Christmas morning, the Smith family found all their presents under the tree unwrapped,
01:31but nothing was missing.
01:32The only clue was a trail of cookie crumbs on the floor.
01:36The suspects were the three kids, Emily, Tom, and Lily.
01:42Emily said she'd been decorating cookies in the kitchen.
01:45Tom claimed he'd been watching TV.
01:48Lily said she'd been wrapping a gift in her room.
01:52Who unwrapped the presents?
02:02It was Emily!
02:03The trail of cookie crumbs matches the ones she was decorating.
02:07She must have snuck over to the tree to open the presents while munching on some cookies!
02:15At a corporate New Year's party, employees dressed up in costumes.
02:19There were 10 warehouse workers, 4 programmers, and several secretaries.
02:25The programmers dressed as squirrels, the secretaries as rabbits, and the warehouse
02:30workers split evenly, half as rabbits and half as foxes.
02:35In total, there were 4 squirrels, 10 rabbits, and 5 foxes.
02:40How many secretaries were there?
02:50There were 5 secretaries.
02:51Let's do the math.
02:54Half of the warehouse workers dressed as rabbits, making 5 warehouse worker rabbits.
02:59With 10 rabbits in total, that leaves 5 secretaries.
03:05Santa is known for skipping presents for the naughty.
03:09This year, he's got a puzzle.
03:11Three women stand before him, and one has been very mischievous.
03:16Santa needs to figure out who it is.
03:18The first woman is dressed as a police officer, holding handcuffs.
03:23The second is in a maid costume, holding a duster, with the head of a teddy bear in her
03:28pocket.
03:29The third is in a teacher's outfit, wearing glasses, and holding a pointer stick.
03:35Santa takes a closer look and spots the troublemaker.
03:38Who is it?
03:47It's the maid.
03:48Look behind her back.
03:50Those are the legs of the teddy bear sticking out.
03:52She ripped off the teddy bear's head.
03:55Definitely naughty!
03:57Luke headed to the mall to snag some new Christmas decorations without breaking the bank.
04:02He had a strict budget of $10 and not a penny more.
04:06Luckily, the mall had a promo.
04:09For every three baubles he bought, he'd get one free.
04:12Each bauble cost $0.90.
04:14So how many baubles could Luke take home with his $10?
04:26First, let's see how many baubles he can buy.
04:29A quick bit of math helps here.
04:31$10 will get him 11 baubles.
04:33Since 11 baubles cost $9.90, fitting perfectly within his budget.
04:40Now let's figure out the freebies.
04:43We divide 11 by 3, which gives us 3 with a remainder.
04:47Since you only get a free bauble for every complete set of 3, Luke gets 3 free baubles.
04:53So with $10, Luke can walk away with a grand total of 14 baubles.
04:59Not bad for a thrifty shopper!
05:02One winter morning, Mr. Jackson stepped out to his front yard and saw a mysterious figure
05:08standing there.
05:09The figure didn't move, speak, or do anything unusual.
05:14The next morning, the same thing happened.
05:17But Mr. Jackson didn't seem to mind having such a guest in his front yard.
05:21The figure stayed for several weeks, but then it disappeared.
05:24Why, and what happened?
05:33It simply got warmer, and the figure melted away because it was a snowman.
05:42It so happened that while Santa was sleeping, Krampus locked him in his room with no way to get out.
05:48But that doesn't mean the kids won't get their gifts.
05:51They will, as Krampus has his own plans.
05:55Traditionally, Krampus would punish naughty kids with birch rods, but this year, he's
06:00feeling generous.
06:02Each kid will get to choose one out of three boxes, and only one will contain an actual gift.
06:08The other two will have, well, let's just say they'll be pranks.
06:13Can you guess which one of these three boxes has the real gift?
06:24It's the box on the left!
06:26The one on the right might have appealing wrapping, but the flies buzzing around it make it look suspicious.
06:31As for the box on the right, see those black fingerprints?
06:35It's probably full of coal.
06:37So, the box on the left looks the safest.
06:42Actually, it's not entirely true that Santa had no way out.
06:45Long story short, he managed to escape that room and Christmas was saved once again.
06:50But how did he do it?
06:52Let's rewind a bit to Santa's room.
06:57Take a closer look.
06:59Sure, the window is too small and too high up for Santa.
07:03But remember how he usually gets into houses?
07:06That's right, through the chimney!
07:08And guess what?
07:09There's a fireplace in the room!
07:11Santa could have waited for the fire to go out, but there was a bucket of water right
07:15next to it.
07:16So, Santa used the chimney to escape.
07:21Chloe was getting ready for Christmas dinner.
07:23Chloe was getting ready for Christmas dinner.
07:25She wanted to bake some cute Christmas cookies, but she didn't have enough ingredients in
07:29her kitchen.
07:30So, she wrote a grocery list and gave it to her husband.
07:33However, she made it a bit tricky.
07:36Instead of words, she drew a picture.
07:39It showed a cow in a bottle with a lot of flowers around it.
07:43Based on this picture, what was Chloe's husband supposed to buy?
07:54A bottle of milk and a lot of flour.
08:00Okay, let's play Santa.
08:02These three guys, Jake, Glenn, and Finn, don't believe in Santa anymore.
08:07So, they didn't bother writing any letters to him.
08:10But Santa really wants to make them happy by bringing them gifts.
08:13So, he sends a few of his elves to observe the guys and figure out which present would
08:17make each of them happy.
08:19Can you help them out?
08:23First up is Jake's room.
08:25Which gift would be the best for him?
08:35Jake seems to be really into music.
08:37So, a shiny new guitar would be a perfect match.
08:41Next, there's Glenn's room.
08:43What is the best possible gift for him?
08:46What is the best possible gift for him?
08:52Judging by all the posters on his wall, Glenn likes skateboarding.
08:56And if you look closely, you'll see that his skateboard is broken and tucked under
09:01his desk.
09:02So, Santa can make him happy with a new skateboard.
09:06Finally, there's Finn's room.
09:08This one seems a bit harder.
09:10His room doesn't have many clues like the others did.
09:13Pay attention to the smallest details.
09:23Let's see.
09:24Plain grey walls, nothing interesting.
09:27The desk is pristine, not a trace of anything that could give us a hint.
09:32Look, there's a cat bed that's empty.
09:34No cat photos, no cat bowls.
09:36Nothing that shows there's an actual cat living there.
09:40Does that mean all Finn wants for Christmas is a cat?
09:43Maybe, but giving a pet as a gift isn't very sensible.
09:47So, Santa will get him a nice plush cat instead.
09:52Okay, everyone got their gifts.
09:54But what about Santa?
09:56You need to show your gratitude for the gifts.
09:58While it might be hard to pick the perfect gift for him, he can't resist yummy food.
10:03Take a look in the fridge and see what you could treat Santa to.
10:10Of course, it's milk and cookies.
10:12Traditionally, it's a glass of milk and some cookies that you leave out for Santa.
10:16So, make sure to stock up before the festive season.
10:19Cheers!
