1. Garfield, wake up.
Copy !req
2. Good morning, Jon.
Copy !req
3. No time for
small talk, Garfield.
Copy !req
4. It's Christmas morning and
you know what that means.
Copy !req
5. - Of course, I do.
- Christmas means presents.
Copy !req
6. Lots and lots of presents.
Copy !req
7. First things
first, Garfield.
Copy !req
8. You can't open presents
on an empty stomach.
Copy !req
9. Here are your
breakfast lasagnas.
Copy !req
10. You may eat your way
to the tree.
Copy !req
11. Okay, Garfield.
Copy !req
12. You wait right here
while I get your gift.
Copy !req
13. Now that's what
I call a Christmas gift.
Copy !req
14. It's the gift that
keeps on giving, Garfield.
Copy !req
15. Here, let me show you.
Copy !req
16. Now watch this.
Copy !req
17. This gift-giving machine
can read your mind.
Copy !req
18. Whatever you think of,
it will give you.
Copy !req
19. Observe.
Copy !req
20. Neat, huh?
Copy !req
21. Let me try that.
Copy !req
22. And that's just
for starters.
Copy !req
23. Now this is what
Christmas is all about.
Copy !req
24. Things, stuff, gadgets,
toys, greed, avarice.
Copy !req
25. I love it.
Copy !req
26. - Hey, Garfield?
- Garfield!
Copy !req
27. Wake up.
Copy !req
28. - Huh?
- Oh, it's you.
Copy !req
29. Leave your number.
I'll get back to you.
Copy !req
30. Hey, Garfield,
guess what today is.
Copy !req
31. Listen carefully, Jon.
Copy !req
32. I don't do pop quizzes
before breakfast, okay?
Copy !req
33. Are you ready
for this, Garfield?
Copy !req
34. It's Christmas Eve morning.
Copy !req
35. We're gonna pack up
our presents
Copy !req
36. and go to the farm
for Christmas.
Copy !req
37. Won't that be fun?
Copy !req
38. You got a real sick
sense of humor, Jon.
Copy !req
39. You know that, don't you?
Copy !req
40. The whole family's
gonna be there.
Copy !req
41. Dad, Mom and Grandma
and Doc Boy.
Copy !req
42. And Good Boy and Bad Boy
and Oh Boy and Attaboy...
Copy !req
43. Come on, Garfield.
Copy !req
44. We have a busy day
ahead of us.
Copy !req
45. Why is it every Christmas
I get drug outta my warm bed
Copy !req
46. just to see some
stupid old relatives?
Copy !req
47. And why is it I always have
to go to the stupid old farm?
Copy !req
48. Why can't they come here
where my warm bed is?
Copy !req
49. And why am I whispering?
Copy !req
50. We're almost back
on the farm now, boys.
Copy !req
51. I can almost smell Mom's
chestnut dressing
Copy !req
52. baking in the oven right now.
Copy !req
53. - It's not what I smell.
- There's no doubt about it.
Copy !req
54. Christmas is
my favorite holiday.
Copy !req
55. The air is crisp,
homes are brightly decorated,
Copy !req
56. and everybody's
walking around
Copy !req
57. with big smiles
on their faces.
Copy !req
58. Yeah, well,
almost everybody.
Copy !req
59. I think the best part
Copy !req
60. is watching
the faces of children
Copy !req
61. and sharing the memories of
being a child at Christmas.
Copy !req
62. I remember when my brother,
Doc Boy, and I were little.
Copy !req
63. - Oh, brother.
- Here we go again.
Copy !req
64. Now behave yourself
this Christmas, Garfield.
Copy !req
65. - No problem.
- I'll wait in the car.
Copy !req
66. - Ho, ho, ho!
- Merry Christmas, Mom!
Copy !req
67. Oh, merry Christmas
to you, too, honey.
Copy !req
68. Oh, it's so nice to see you.
Copy !req
69. Here, let me take
those packages.
Copy !req
70. - Hi, Dad.
- Merry Christmas!
Copy !req
71. Merry Christmas,
city slicker.
Copy !req
72. - Doc Boy!
- How's my favorite brother?
Copy !req
73. Don't call me Doc Boy.
Copy !req
74. And you've probably forgotten
I'm your only brother.
Copy !req
75. - Oh, right.
- Don't mind me.
Copy !req
76. You can visit until your lips
fall off for all I care.
Copy !req
77. I'll just sit here
in the dark alone
Copy !req
78. until you decide to come
over and pay your respects.
Copy !req
79. Nobody gives a hoot about
an old woman like me anyway.
Copy !req
80. How could I ignore
my favorite girl?
Copy !req
81. Merry Christmas, Grandma.
Copy !req
82. - Oh, merry Christmas, Jon.
- How have you been?
Copy !req
83. Oh, I been doing okay,
considering.
Copy !req
84. What's this, Jon?
Copy !req
85. I see you're putting
on a little belly.
Copy !req
86. Is that city life
making you soft?
Copy !req
87. Ooh!
Copy !req
88. Oh, you're
getting soft, boy.
Copy !req
89. You need to get more physical.
Take me.
Copy !req
90. I do 100 sit-ups every morning.My belly is hard as a rock.
Copy !req
91. Come on.
Hit me right here.
Copy !req
92. Give me your best shot.
Copy !req
93. Uh, Grandma, you remember
Garfield, don't you?
Copy !req
94. Well, I'll be.
Copy !req
95. I remember back when all
we had were wood-burning cats.
Copy !req
96. Lord, what'll
they think of next?
Copy !req
97. - Bizarre.
- Isn't this wonderful?
Copy !req
98. The whole family is together
again for the holidays.
Copy !req
99. Oh, we are going to have
such a splendid Christmas.
Copy !req
100. Oh, I'm so happy
I could just burst.
Copy !req
101. Oh, put a sock
in it, dearie.
Copy !req
102. Let's go finish dinner.
Copy !req
103. I can see Grandma and I
are gonna get along just fine.
Copy !req
104. This is what it's
all about, right, boys?
Copy !req
105. Hard work, brisk weather
and beautiful scenery.
Copy !req
106. What scenery?
Copy !req
107. I think somebody
turned the lights out.
Copy !req
108. In fact, I'd go
so far as to say things
Copy !req
109. can't get must worse than...
Copy !req
110. Oh!
Copy !req
111. I gotta quit saying that.
Copy !req
112. By any chance,
you're not thinking
Copy !req
113. of putting chili powder
in my sausage gravy,
Copy !req
114. are you, Grandma?
Copy !req
115. Why, no.
Copy !req
116. Heavens to Betsy, child, what
would give you such a notion?
Copy !req
117. Just "cause my chili gravy
Copy !req
118. won a Blue Ribbon at
the County Fair
Copy !req
119. and your gravy
didn't even place.
Copy !req
120. Who am I to tell you
how to make gravy?
Copy !req
121. The Green County
Gravy Champion, that's who.
Copy !req
122. Hey, Garfield,
where's Odie?
Copy !req
123. - In the barn.
- Let's eat.
Copy !req
124. Hello? What's this?
Copy !req
125. Why, it's sausage gravy.
Copy !req
126. Perfect!
Copy !req
127. Mm, this smells great.
Copy !req
128. Doc Boy, will you
say grace, please?
Copy !req
129. - Oh, Mom.
- Doc Boy.
Copy !req
130. I never know what to—
Copy !req
131. Lord, we just wanna tell you
Copy !req
132. how grateful we are
for this food
Copy !req
133. and for letting us all be here
together on Christmas Eve.
Copy !req
134. Amen.
Copy !req
135. And as surely as
the waters of the streams
Copy !req
136. and the rivers find the sea,
let each of us find happiness
Copy !req
137. and wisdom in this our—
Copy !req
138. Thanks, Lord.
Let's eat.
Copy !req
139. Hey, Mom,
pass the potatoes, please.
Copy !req
140. Scalloped, whipped,
fried, baked or boiled?
Copy !req
141. Mom, you always fix
too much food.
Copy !req
142. - I know, honey, I know.
- Now what would you like?
Copy !req
143. - I can't decide.
- Just give me a piece of pie.
Copy !req
144. Apple, peach,
pumpkin, blueberry,
Copy !req
145. cherry or banana cream?
Copy !req
146. Mm, attentive service,
excellent cuisine.
Copy !req
147. However, the decor leaves
something to be desired.
Copy !req
148. I give this place two stars.
Copy !req
149. You sure are packing the foodaway tonight, Grandma.
Copy !req
150. I'm eating for
two now, dear.
Copy !req
151. Ah.
Copy !req
152. That was a great meal, Mom.
Copy !req
153. And you too, Grandma.
Copy !req
154. Thank you, Jon.
Copy !req
155. Well, it wasn't much, but
I was hoping you'd like it.
Copy !req
156. Hey, Garfield, there's
plenty of leftovers.
Copy !req
157. Would you like
something to eat?
Copy !req
158. Oh, no, thank you, Jon.
Copy !req
159. I've opted to watch my
waistline this holiday season.
Copy !req
160. Okay, everybody,
it's time to trim the tree!
Copy !req
161. Just listen to
"em, Garfield.
Copy !req
162. All jawing at once like
a bunch of banshees.
Copy !req
163. Crazy, isn't it?
Copy !req
164. Of course, to make it
through this whole life,
Copy !req
165. you have to be
a little crazy.
Copy !req
166. You said it, Grandma.
Copy !req
167. - Why, just look at me.
- I talk to cats.
Copy !req
168. - Careful, Dad.
- Don't hurt yourself.
Copy !req
169. Why is it we always put
the stupid star on last?
Copy !req
170. Why don't we put the star
on the top of the tree,
Copy !req
171. and then put the tree up?
Copy !req
172. Well, it just
wouldn't be Christmas
Copy !req
173. if we put the star
on first, honey.
Copy !req
174. - Hey, Garfield.
- Come over here.
Copy !req
175. Garfield, I have a very
important job for you.
Copy !req
176. It's a dangerous assignment,
but if you succeed,
Copy !req
177. you'll be a hero.
Copy !req
178. - A hero.
- I like that.
Copy !req
179. I want you to take
this star up the tree
Copy !req
180. and put it on the top.
Copy !req
181. Climbing trees
is my life, sir.
Copy !req
182. If I'm not back in an hour,
Copy !req
183. send a banana cream pie
after me.
Copy !req
184. This is gonna be
a piece of cake.
Copy !req
185. Never send a man
to do a cat's job.
Copy !req
186. Whoever invented
Christmas trees
Copy !req
187. should be drug out into
the street and shot.
Copy !req
188. - Is everybody ready?
- Here we go!
Copy !req
189. Ooh!
Copy !req
190. Nice touch.
Copy !req
191. Why don't you
play for us, Mom?
Copy !req
192. Why, hello, Garfield.
Copy !req
193. How did you know I needed
a kitty in my lap?
Copy !req
194. Wild guess.
Copy !req
195. Since Grandpa passed on,
I've whiled away
Copy !req
196. many a lonely hour rocking
and stroking my cats.
Copy !req
197. I envy those cats.
Copy !req
198. Grandpa was a proud man,
a strong man.
Copy !req
199. He was a good provider.
We've never had much money
Copy !req
200. but we always had plenty
of food on the table.
Copy !req
201. And he always made
something special for me
Copy !req
202. and each of the children
at Christmas.
Copy !req
203. Men like him didn't feel
like they could show
Copy !req
204. much affection outwardly
to the children.
Copy !req
205. But on Christmas, it was okay.
Copy !req
206. He always pretended not to be
excited on Christmas morning.
Copy !req
207. But his eyes gave him away.
Copy !req
208. I think...
Copy !req
209. I think it was his
favorite day of the year.
Copy !req
210. Sometimes I wake up
in the night
Copy !req
211. and I can still feel
his strong arms around me.
Copy !req
212. This is the night
I miss him most.
Copy !req
213. And now,
ladies and gentlemen,
Copy !req
214. it is time for...
Copy !req
215. Dad to read
us our Christmas story.
Copy !req
216. Yeah!
Copy !req
217. Which is entitled "Binky, theClown Who Saved Christmas."
Copy !req
218. - Do I have to do this?
- Here's the book, dear.
Copy !req
219. Now go over to your
favorite chair
Copy !req
220. and we'll all listen
to you read the story.
Copy !req
221. I'm beginning to feel
a little silly
Copy !req
222. reading this book
year after year.
Copy !req
223. Oh, but think of
the children, dear.
Copy !req
224. - Yeah.
- They so look forward to it.
Copy !req
225. Right, Dad.
Copy !req
226. Yeah, let's see if Binky savesChristmas again this year.
Copy !req
227. Once upon a time,
there was a clown named Binky
Copy !req
228. who loved children.
Copy !req
229. Every time Binky saw children,
he would say, "Hey, kids."
Copy !req
230. Oh, no, no, no, no, no.Dad, read it with more emotion.
Copy !req
231. Yeah, yeah, and why don't
you say it like Binky says it.
Copy !req
232. Every time Binky
saw children,
Copy !req
233. he would say, "Hey, kids!"
Copy !req
234. Cut that out.
Copy !req
235. And once again, Binky the Clownsaved Christmas for children
Copy !req
236. all over the world.
The end.
Copy !req
237. I don't know about you, Jon.
Copy !req
238. But for a couple
of minutes there,
Copy !req
239. I was getting pretty worried.
Copy !req
240. - Ooh, me too.
- All right, boys.
Copy !req
241. It's time to get
ready for bed.
Copy !req
242. - All right!
- Yeah.
Copy !req
243. Odie?
Copy !req
244. Now where did he go?
Copy !req
245. I don't believe it.
Copy !req
246. These letters
must be 50 years old.
Copy !req
247. - Hey, Dad. Psst.
- Hey, Dad. You awake?
Copy !req
248. - Dad?
- Dad! You awake?
Copy !req
249. - Well, I'm awake now.
- What do you boys want?
Copy !req
250. Is it time to open
our presents yet?
Copy !req
251. It's 1:30 in the morning.
Copy !req
252. No, it's not time
to open presents yet!
Copy !req
253. It is Christmas
morning now, you know.
Copy !req
254. Doc Boy has
a point there, Dad.
Copy !req
255. Any time after midnight
is technically
Copy !req
256. Christmas morning, you know.
Copy !req
257. - Go to bed!
- All right, all right.
Copy !req
258. - Pleasant dreams, Dad.
- It is Christmas morning.
Copy !req
259. I know that and
you know that.
Copy !req
260. Well, what do you boys
wanna do first?
Copy !req
261. Do you wanna do chores,
do you wanna eat breakfast,
Copy !req
262. or do you wanna
open presents?
Copy !req
263. Presents!
Copy !req
264. Oh, Mom and Dad,
thank you.
Copy !req
265. You're welcome, honey.
Copy !req
266. Well, that was
a very nice Christmas.
Copy !req
267. - It's not over yet.
- One minute.
Copy !req
268. - Why, thank you, Garfield.
- What's this?
Copy !req
269. Oh, my. Oh, my.
Copy !req
270. What are they, Grandma?
Copy !req
271. Jon, these are
love letters
Copy !req
272. your Grandpa sent me when
we were courting
Copy !req
273. a long, long time ago.
Copy !req
274. My darlin", if the sea were of
ink and the sky of parchment,
Copy !req
275. I couldn't begin
to write my love for you.
Copy !req
276. When next we meet... oh, my.
Copy !req
277. Well, what does
he say, Grandma?
Copy !req
278. It is inappropriate
for a lady
Copy !req
279. to talk about
her romances, my dear.
Copy !req
280. Garfield, I don't know
how you managed
Copy !req
281. to find these letters.
Copy !req
282. I think they are
the nicest presents
Copy !req
283. I could have received.
Copy !req
284. Thank you very, very much.
Copy !req
285. Yeah. You might say I
just kind of fell into "em.
Copy !req
286. What is it, Odie?
Copy !req
287. Okay, I'm coming.
Copy !req
288. Okay, what do you want?
Copy !req
289. Ta-da!
Copy !req
290. Okay, what is it?
Copy !req
291. Ooh!
Copy !req
292. Whoa! Let me try that!
Copy !req
293. Odie, sometimes
you amaze me.
Copy !req
294. This is the best present
a cat could ever get.
Copy !req
295. Now and then,
you're something special.
Copy !req
296. Aw.
Copy !req
297. All right, you guys.
Copy !req
298. Just permit me one sentimental
moment here, will you?
Copy !req
299. I have something to say.
Christmas.
Copy !req
300. It's not the giving,
it's not the getting.
Copy !req
301. It's the loving.
Copy !req
302. There, I said it.
Now get outta here.
Copy !req
