00:00There's two there, four there's six there eight, shunting trucks and hauling freight.
00:11Red and green and brown and blue, they're the really useful crew.
00:16Oh, we're different roles to play around in the shed so far away.
00:21Down the hills and round the best, Thomas has his friend.
00:30Santa's little engine.
00:40Everyone on the island of Sodor was getting ready for the holidays.
00:47Thomas was bringing visitors to the Christmas fair at Ulstead Castle.
00:51And no one was more excited than the Earl.
00:55Hello, Thomas!
00:56Who was planning the best Christmas fair ever.
00:59Welcome, everybody.
01:01Please, make your way through to the Exhibition Centre.
01:06Mind your step now.
01:07Then, the Fat Controller arrived in Winston.
01:12Hello, Sir Topham.
01:14Glad you could make it.
01:15Glad to help out, Sir Robert.
01:17What do you want me to do?
01:19Well, I was hoping that you could dress up as Santa Claus for the last day of the fair.
01:26Uh, yes, of course.
01:28I filled in for the real Santa Claus before.
01:32Ahem.
01:33Ho, ho, ho.
01:35Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
01:37Ho, ho, ho.
01:38Super.
01:39And I'm planning to get you an old-fashioned sleigh.
01:44A sleigh?
01:46But I've never driven a sleigh before.
01:50Why can't I just arrive in Winston?
01:52I'm very good at driving him.
01:55Aren't I, Winston?
01:57Yes, sir.
01:58Of course you are, sir.
02:01Driving a sleigh isn't difficult, honestly.
02:04There's nothing to worry about.
02:06Goodbye, Sir Topham.
02:09But the Fat Controller was worried.
02:14So the Fat Controller took Winston to the steamworks to see if they could make him look like a sleigh.
02:26Thank you, Victor.
02:37Thank you, Kevin.
02:39Winston looks wonderful.
02:46But Victor and Kevin were not so sure.
02:51And neither was Winston.
02:56Thomas had just dropped off another load of passengers.
03:02Oh, my.
03:04Is that really...
03:06Winston?
03:07Winston?
03:15What have they done to you?
03:18The Fat Controller wants me to be his sleigh.
03:21But I feel silly.
03:23You look a little silly, too.
03:25Wait until you see him, Sir Robert.
03:29They've done a splendid job and...
03:32Oh, Sir Topham, this will never do.
03:36No one would believe that's the real Santa's sleigh.
03:40But I...
03:42No.
03:42My mind is made up.
03:44I'm getting you a proper sleigh.
03:47Are you sure that's safe?
03:50I've never driven a sleigh before.
03:53It'll be fine.
03:55Nothing will happen.
04:02And so, on the last day of the fair, Thomas was sent to the docks to collect a very special special.
04:10It was the sleigh for the Fat Controller to ride in.
04:14Careful with that, Cranky.
04:16You should be careful yourself, Thomas.
04:19It's going to be a freeze.
04:21The rails could get icy.
04:23Okay, Cranky.
04:24I'll be careful, too.
04:27Thomas puffed cheerily through the snow as he made his way back to Ulsted Castle.
04:33I can't wait to see the children's faces when they see the Fat Controller arrive on his sleigh as Santa Claus.
04:41CINDERS AND ASHES
04:51CINDERS AND ASHES
04:52Cranky was right.
04:54It really is icy today.
04:57Thomas' wheels slipped on the icy tracks as he climbed the slope to Ulsted Castle.
05:04But he managed to get a grip.
05:06The Earl was waiting for Thomas on the castle grounds.
05:17Ah, Thomas, am I glad to see you.
05:20We must unload the sleigh and get everything ready.
05:23The children are waiting.
05:25It's nearly time for Santa Claus to arrive.
05:29Where is Santa Claus?
05:31Here he comes.
05:33Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!
05:41What do you think, Sir Topham?
05:44Isn't this just the most beautiful sleigh you've ever seen?
05:50I, er, suppose so.
05:53But, er, perhaps it would be safer if I'd just walked in to greet the children.
05:59Don't worry, sir.
06:00I'm sure you'll be fine.
06:03Thomas is right.
06:04You make yourself comfortable and I'll collect the reindeer.
06:08Reindeer?
06:09You never said anything about reindeer.
06:14Thomas, you should probably back out of the way now.
06:17Right you are, sir.
06:18Thomas started to back up, but the sleigh had been left across the rails behind him.
06:26Stop! Look out!
06:28Thomas tried to stop, but the rails were too icy.
06:33Then there was trouble.
06:36Oh, no!
06:38Oh, no!
06:40Oh, no!
06:41Oh, no, no, no, no, no!
06:42Cinders and ashes!
06:43Oh!
06:44Oh!
06:45Oh!
06:46Oh!
06:47Oh, help!
06:48Help!
06:49Help!
06:50I've never driven a sleigh before!
06:53Whoa!
06:54Whoa!
06:55Whoa!
06:56Hold on, sir! I'm coming to help you!
07:00Stop, stop, stop! How do you stop this thing? Oh, no!
07:07Sir!
07:09Thomas! Help!
07:18Sir Topham? Are you all right?
07:22Sir, all the children are waiting, sir. Where are the reindeer and the sleigh?
07:28The sleigh has gone down the hill, Stephen, with Santa Claus, I mean, Sir Topham Hatt, inside it.
07:35Oh, no!
07:42Thomas!
07:44Thomas was climbing back up the slippery hill, pulling the flat controller in the big sleigh behind him.
07:51Thomas had caught some branches on his funnel. They made him look like a reindeer.
07:58Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ha-ha-ha-ha!
08:01I told you I didn't know how to drive a sleigh, Sir Robert.
08:12Ho-ho! Good thing you had Thomas to be your reindeer, then.
08:16Actually, there is just one thing that would make Thomas look even better.
08:27Ho-ho! It's Thomas! The red-nosed engine!
08:31Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
08:35Ha-ha! Off you go, Thomas! The children are waiting!
08:39The real Santa Claus would be proud of us, Thomas!
08:50And Thomas, the red-nosed engine, pulled Sodor's Santa Claus on his sleigh into the castle to greet all the children.
09:00Ho-ho-ho! Merry Christmas, everyone! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
09:09Yay! Merry Christmas!
09:12Ho-ho-ho!
09:21The two, the four, the six to eight, Shunting trucks and hauling freight.
09:26Red and green and brown and blue, They're the really useful crew.
09:32All the different grows to go round Tidmouth's shed so far away,
