00:00This is a Danny Elfman Christmas Story.

00:07Are you ready?

00:10Twas the night before Christmas, and in my usual way I was creeping around in a sullen display of my own special version of holiday cheer,

00:21which some find off-putting and others find queer.

00:25For I wear a disguise I designed for myself, which looks somewhat like Krampus and a bit like an elf,

00:32and with my arms filled with presents to put under the tree, I saw in the shadows something looking at me.

00:38A small shabby creature with spikes on its head, showing long pearly teeth and its eyes glowing red.

00:45It was dark and misshapen with long spindly arms, which ended with claws that can certainly harm.

00:52Well, hello, I exclaimed. For what else could I do?

00:56I wasn't expecting an odd creature like you.

00:59Perhaps you could tell me what brings you this night to this shadowy corner where you gave me a fright.

01:05And with a voice that was raspy yet gentle and meek, the strange little creature began then to speak.

01:12Excuse my intrusion. Forgive my trespass. It's just that there's something I wanted to ask.

01:20Mr. Krampus, you see, I'm a fan through and through, and I'd like to apprentice and study with you.

01:26I have many talents impressed you will be. I can conjure up spirits and then set them free.

01:32I can make heavy objects float like they were bubbles. I can dance with the demons and make lots of trouble.

01:38And you kidnap bad children and cart them away in a sack that you carry where they're all on display.

01:44Oh, please let me help. I won't get in the way.

01:48For it's clear that he thought in my clever disguise that I was old Krampus, at least in his eyes.

01:56So I paused and thought carefully what I might say.

02:00Yes, I do all those things, but just not today.

02:04For this Christmas, a different idea I got. And you could be of help, though like it or not.

02:10I intend to surprise all the children, that's true, with the opposite of what you expect me to do.

02:16For the boxes I carry with the ribbons and bows will delight from their heads to their cute little toes.

02:22And the joy on their faces when they look with surprise, as their hopes and their dreams are revealed inside.

02:30The demon thought carefully about what I said. He rubbed his round belly and scratched his sharp head.

02:37Well, it's certainly not what I had in my mind when I came to help Krampus with his wicked design.

02:43But I came here to help, and so help it shall be.

02:47To begin with, start carrying these presents with me.

02:51And little by little he got in the spirit. And we quietly worked so that no one could hear it, until the display looked all perfect and fine.

03:00I can hear footsteps. Oh, there wasn't much time.

03:03It was then an idea popped into my head, so I gathered my thoughts. And here's what I said.

03:10Do you think you could climb up on top of this tree?

03:13Well, of course, he said simply. That's nothing to me.

03:17And perhaps you can play with some things at the top, with your magical powers that makes gravity stop.

03:24And juggle some ornaments round in the air, while dancing a jig with your demonic flair.

03:29Now excited, he took on this challenge with glee, and he gave quite a show for the children to see.

03:36For he not only juggled, but he sang and he danced, singing strange little melodies as if in a trance.

03:42And the children were stunned in the most pleasant way by this most unexpected demonic display.

03:48They clapped and they squealed with their childish delight, for they never had seen such a wonderful sight.

03:55And with hands in the air, they all spun till they crashed, and the songs made them silly, and everyone laughed.

04:02With a glorious whoop, he leapt to the ground. And before I could stop him, he gobbled them down.

04:11Merry Christmas.

04:18Merry Christmas.
