14:22he was a good provider
14:24we never had much money

14:32and he always made something special for me and each of the children at christmas
14:38men like him didn't feel like they could show much affection outwardly to the children
14:44but on christmas it was okay
14:49he always pretended not to be excited on christmas morning
14:53but his eyes gave him away
14:57i think

17:34Hody, now where did he go?
17:52You can never find an elf when you need one
17:55When you got to get that toy beneath the tree
17:58Yeah, when an elf is what you need
18:00His energy, his speed
18:02There never seems to be one who's free
18:04Then comes that magical moment
18:08So the story goes on Christmas Eve
18:11When elves and other weirdos
18:14Think it's better than the sea
18:17Please, you can never find an elf when you need one
18:21And you don't know what you're gonna do
18:24But if you believe
18:27The magic of Christmas Eve
18:33Then one finds you
18:36I don't believe it
18:37These letters must be 50 years old
18:41Hey, Dad
18:47Psst
18:48Hey, Dad, you awake?
18:50Dad
18:51Dad, you awake?

20:10What's this?
20:13Oh, my
20:14Oh, my
20:17What are they, Grandma?
20:18John, these are love letters
20:21Your Grandpa sent me
20:22When we were courting
20:23A long, long time ago
20:25My darling
20:27If the sea were of ink
20:28And the sky of parchment

20:33When next we meet
20:38Oh
20:39Oh, my
20:41Well, what does he say, Grandma?
20:45It is inappropriate for a lady to talk about her romances, my dear
20:49Garfield
20:51I don't know how you managed to find these letters
20:53I think they are the nicest presents I could have received
20:57Thank you very, very much

21:23Ta-da!
21:24Okay

22:04Just permit me one sentimental moment here, will you?
22:07I have something to say
22:09Christmas
