LARRY:
<i>...as we share childhood memories...</i>

4
00:00:09,134 --> 00:00:11,553
Uh, I got involved in theater very young.

00:00:11,637 --> 00:00:12,971
JULIA LESTER: <i>A couple of bloopers.</i>

6
00:00:13,847 --> 00:00:14,848
Was that okay?

7
00:00:15,057 --> 00:00:16,808
A few surprises.

8
00:00:17,017 --> 00:00:19,770
We are very excited
to share a special world premiere.

9
00:00:20,354 --> 00:00:21,605
And a whole lot o' music.

10
00:00:21,688 --> 00:00:22,981
(MUSIC PLAYING)

11
00:00:25,359 --> 00:00:27,236
Welcome to <i>High School Musical.</i>

12
00:00:27,319 --> 00:00:30,614
<i>-The Musical.</i>
<i>-The Holiday Special! </i>(SQUEALS)

13
00:00:37,955 --> 00:00:39,122
(WHISTLE BLOWS)

14
00:00:48,173 --> 00:00:49,550
So this is Arizona.

15
00:00:49,633 --> 00:00:53,720
I know it's not exactly the North Pole,
but this is where I've grown up,

16
00:00:53,804 --> 00:00:56,390
this is where I spent
almost every Christmas of my life.

17
00:00:58,225 --> 00:01:01,395
Whenever I think of Christmas,
I think of my family.

18
00:01:02,229 --> 00:01:06,066
Waking up on Christmas morning,
seeing the presents under the tree,

19
00:01:06,149 --> 00:01:07,776
seeing that the cookies and the milk

20
00:01:07,860 --> 00:01:10,237
that we left out the night before
is all gone.

21
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:12,656
And of course,
every Christmas needs an elf,

22
00:01:12,739 --> 00:01:16,410
so I luckily have my little dog, Violet.

23
00:01:16,493 --> 00:01:18,328
<i>She is the sweetest thing.</i>

24
00:01:18,412 --> 00:01:21,790
She always opens up presents
on Christmas Day,

25
00:01:21,874 --> 00:01:24,751
and it's the funniest thing,
and she gets so excited.

26
00:01:24,835 --> 00:01:27,462
Over the years, I have been so blessed

27
00:01:27,546 --> 00:01:31,091
to be able to meet and connect
with so, so many people,

28
00:01:31,175 --> 00:01:33,802
so I really wanted to dedicate this song

29
00:01:33,886 --> 00:01:36,555
to all the fans out there
who have grown up with me,

30
00:01:36,638 --> 00:01:39,474
and of course, to my amazing
<i>High School Musical</i> family.

31
00:01:39,558 --> 00:01:40,767
I miss them so much.

32
00:01:41,059 --> 00:01:42,978
We might not be together for the holidays,

33
00:01:43,061 --> 00:01:45,981
but music always finds a way
to bring us back home.

34
00:01:49,902 --> 00:01:53,238
(SOFIA SCATTING)

35
00:02:00,495 --> 00:02:01,496
<i>Yeah</i>

36
00:02:03,123 --> 00:02:05,751
<i>Hang all the mistletoe</i>

37
00:02:05,834 --> 00:02:09,296
<i>I'm gonna get to know you better</i>

<i>This Christmas</i>

39
00:02:12,257 --> 00:02:14,426
<i>And as we trim the tree</i>

40
00:02:14,510 --> 00:02:18,472
<i>How much fun it's gonna be together</i>

41
00:02:19,681 --> 00:02:20,849
<i>This Christmas</i>

44
00:02:29,983 --> 00:02:33,695
<i>And this Christmas will be</i>

45
00:02:33,779 --> 00:02:39,034
<i>A very special Christmas for me</i>

46
00:02:39,117 --> 00:02:40,118
<i>Yeah</i>

47
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,748
<i>Shake a hand, shake a hand, yeah</i>

48
00:02:48,502 --> 00:02:49,670
<i>Hey!</i>

49
00:02:55,759 --> 00:02:57,678
<i>This Christmas!</i>

50
00:03:04,768 --> 00:03:06,353
<i>This Christmas!</i>

<i>And this Christmas will be</i>

54
00:03:19,074 --> 00:03:23,871
<i>A very special Christmas, for me</i>

55
00:03:23,954 --> 00:03:25,372
<i>Yeah</i>

56
00:03:27,541 --> 00:03:29,543
<i>Shake your hand, shake your hand, yeah</i>

57
00:03:31,378 --> 00:03:33,547
<i>Oh, this Christmas</i>

58
00:03:35,424 --> 00:03:36,967
<i>Shake a hand</i>

59
00:03:39,803 --> 00:03:42,055
<i>This Christmas</i>

60
00:03:47,102 --> 00:03:49,188
Oh, boy. (LAUGHS)

61
00:03:50,772 --> 00:03:52,774
So, I grew up right outside San Diego

62
00:03:52,858 --> 00:03:56,320
with five sisters
and two wonderful parents

63
00:03:56,403 --> 00:03:58,280
and all the music you could imagine.

64
00:03:58,405 --> 00:04:01,158
My dad was a professional pianist
and drummer.

65
00:04:01,241 --> 00:04:04,077
I think each of us
have a little bit of that in our blood.

66
00:04:04,161 --> 00:04:07,122
And now, music is obviously
such a huge part of my life,

67
00:04:07,206 --> 00:04:10,042
uh, as I write music
almost every single day.

68
00:04:10,125 --> 00:04:12,377
Um, and I was fortunate enough
in season one

69
00:04:12,461 --> 00:04:14,296
to be given the opportunity
to write a song

70
00:04:14,379 --> 00:04:16,632
with my co-star,
the lovely Olivia Rodrigo.

71
00:04:17,090 --> 00:04:19,259
RICKY AND NINI:
<i>When we're underneath the lights</i>

72
00:04:19,343 --> 00:04:21,970
<i>My heart's no longer broken</i>

73
00:04:22,054 --> 00:04:24,139
<i>For a moment</i>

74
00:04:24,223 --> 00:04:27,226
<i>Just for a moment</i>

75
00:04:27,726 --> 00:04:31,980
And then when season two came around,
I was afforded the insane opportunity

76
00:04:32,064 --> 00:04:35,692
to write my own Christmas song,
uh, for my character, Ricky,

77
00:04:35,776 --> 00:04:39,154
that he sings to Nini
because he can't really afford a gift,

78
00:04:39,238 --> 00:04:41,073
and so he does
the second best thing he can,

79
00:04:41,156 --> 00:04:43,825
and that is write her a song.

80
00:04:43,909 --> 00:04:45,911
Writing that Christmas song was a dream.

81
00:04:45,994 --> 00:04:48,288
Um, and I can't believe
that I get to say this,

82
00:04:48,372 --> 00:04:51,917
but I am going to be able
to perform it for you tonight,

83
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,961
um, for the first time ever.

84
00:04:54,044 --> 00:04:57,673
So, enjoy my song,
slash, Ricky's song, <i>The Perfect Gift.</i>

85
00:05:07,140 --> 00:05:11,395
<i>I still remember</i>
<i>the first time we ever kissed</i>

86
00:05:12,521 --> 00:05:17,067
<i>We didn't need no mistletoe</i>
<i>to know what lovin' is</i>

87
00:05:18,068 --> 00:05:22,781
<i>Through every up and down,</i>
<i>there's one thing that stays true</i>

88
00:05:23,657 --> 00:05:28,537
<i>Christmas is better</i>
<i>every second it's with you</i>

89
00:05:28,704 --> 00:05:34,001
<i>I don't got much to give</i>
<i>so I hope you think this is</i>

90
00:05:34,084 --> 00:05:39,381
<i>The perfect gift that I could give</i>

91
00:05:39,464 --> 00:05:44,887
<i>To the perfect gift that ever lived</i>

92
00:05:44,970 --> 00:05:49,099
<i>Yeah, this song's</i>
<i>the second best that I could do</i>

93
00:05:49,183 --> 00:05:54,563
<i>When the perfect gift is you, you</i>

94
00:05:54,646 --> 00:05:59,776
<i>When the perfect gift is you, you</i>

95
00:06:01,653 --> 00:06:06,658
<i>When seasons change and I've lost my way</i>

96
00:06:06,742 --> 00:06:11,663
<i>It'll be okay with you by my side</i>

97
00:06:12,247 --> 00:06:14,750
<i>And, darlin', that's why</i>

98
00:06:15,667 --> 00:06:19,421
<i>This song's the second best</i>
<i>that I could do</i>

99
00:06:19,505 --> 00:06:24,885
<i>When the perfect gift is you, you</i>

100
00:06:24,968 --> 00:06:30,432
<i>When the perfect gift is you, you</i>

<i>When the perfect gift is you</i>

(LAUGHS)

104
00:06:46,532 --> 00:06:49,701
I was born and raised
in Selma, California.

105

(TRAIN HORN BLOWS)

106
00:06:52,162 --> 00:06:56,124
And we are the raisin capital
of the world,

107
00:06:56,208 --> 00:06:59,920
if that gives you any idea of the town.
(LAUGHS)

108
00:07:01,046 --> 00:07:05,926
(LAUGHS) Okay. I grew up
outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

109
00:07:06,009 --> 00:07:08,387
<i>and I come from a very musical family.</i>

110
00:07:09,263 --> 00:07:12,808
Every Christmas, we would go
to my Nana and Pap's house,

111
00:07:12,891 --> 00:07:16,895
and we would all stand on chairs
and just sing for all these relatives.

112
00:07:16,979 --> 00:07:20,816
And they would either sing along
or just watch adoringly

113
00:07:20,899 --> 00:07:25,654
as we made fools of ourselves as children
'cause we had no fear whatsoever.

<i>Feliz Navidad</i>

115
00:07:31,743 --> 00:07:35,914

of Joe Serafini singing <i>Feliz Navidad.</i>

<i>I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas</i>
<i>from the bottom of my heart</i>

117
00:07:42,588 --> 00:07:44,089
Joe's so little.

118
00:07:44,173 --> 00:07:46,675
And he says "From the bottom o' my heart."

119
00:07:46,758 --> 00:07:47,885
It's so cute.

120
00:07:47,968 --> 00:07:48,969
(LAUGHS)

121
00:07:50,220 --> 00:07:54,141
My favorite things about being a part
of the cast of <i>High School Musical</i>

122
00:07:54,224 --> 00:07:57,686
is that you have this whole second family.

123
00:07:57,769 --> 00:08:00,272
And it's great, 'cause you have
this whole group of people

124
00:08:00,355 --> 00:08:04,109
that are loving and supporting
and just there to encourage you.

125
00:08:04,193 --> 00:08:06,236
I grew up singing with my family,

126
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,655
and, uh, you know,
as everyone gets older,

127
00:08:08,739 --> 00:08:13,619
we all go our separate ways, and now
I have a new duet partner. (CHUCKLES)

(MALE INTERVIEWER SPEAKING)

156
00:09:53,343 --> 00:09:56,930
I feel like the person
that would give the best homemade gift

157
00:09:57,014 --> 00:09:59,308
would be Julia Lester.

158
00:09:59,474 --> 00:10:03,604
Has to be Julia. She's very into tie-dye.

159
00:10:03,687 --> 00:10:05,022
I feel like Olivia.

160
00:10:05,105 --> 00:10:07,816
She's definitely the most thoughtful
when it comes to gifts.

161
00:10:07,900 --> 00:10:11,111
I think Olivia. She will go beyond.

162
00:10:11,195 --> 00:10:12,446
Feel like it'd be Dara.

163
00:10:12,529 --> 00:10:15,282
Dara or Frankie, 'cause they, like,
truly, like, think about you.

164

I remember Frankie got me a present,

165
00:10:17,075 --> 00:10:18,619
and Frankie spent like some money.

166
00:10:18,702 --> 00:10:22,122
So, I would only pick Frankie
'cause I know he not gonna be cheap, so...

Yeah, it's got to be Joshie.

-He's a little terror.
-No way!

176
00:10:41,850 --> 00:10:43,477

<i>and I grew up doing theater.</i>

189

Both sides of my family are Jewish,

193
00:11:37,114 --> 00:11:39,700
so we grew up
celebrating Hanukkah predominantly.

194
00:11:39,783 --> 00:11:42,744
-Happy Hanukkah.
-LOREN: Hanukkah's tomorrow.

195
00:11:42,828 --> 00:11:44,705
Well, are we gonna open the presents?

196
00:11:44,788 --> 00:11:46,540

00:12:06,310 --> 00:12:08,187
So, I got to thinking

205
00:12:08,270 --> 00:12:09,771
and I could definitely sing you

206
00:12:09,855 --> 00:12:12,691
100 different Christmas songs
off the top of my head,

207
00:12:12,774 --> 00:12:16,570
but where's the Mariah Carey version
of a Hanukkah song?

208
00:12:16,653 --> 00:12:18,947
So, I thought tonight

209
00:12:19,031 --> 00:12:22,951
I would add a little bit
of music video flare to Hanukkah,

210
00:12:23,035 --> 00:12:26,580
and because I'm 100% a theater dork,

211
00:12:26,663 --> 00:12:29,750
and it's literally in my DNA,

212
00:12:29,833 --> 00:12:33,003

00:14:41,048 --> 00:14:42,549
a town called Rogers.

254
00:14:42,633 --> 00:14:45,385
It's the kind of place
where everybody knows everybody

255
00:14:45,469 --> 00:14:46,637
because it's so small.

256
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,014
I'm a very family-oriented person.

257
00:14:49,097 --> 00:14:53,519
And, uh, I grew up in a household
that wasn't necessarily super wealthy.

258
00:14:54,019 --> 00:14:56,063
<i>But, you know,</i>
<i>we had the time with each other</i>

<i>which was most important for us,</i>

260
00:14:57,564 --> 00:15:00,484
but when I said I wanted
to come out here to Los Angeles

261
00:15:00,567 --> 00:15:02,903

you know, my brother,

<i>He gave my parents the money</i>
<i>and my mom and I moved out to Los Angeles,</i>

265
00:15:12,663 --> 00:15:14,540

269
00:15:27,553 --> 00:15:29,721
I guess there's a fun fact
I didn't know about myself

270
00:15:29,805 --> 00:15:34,101
and the fact that I never
outgrow clothes, so that's fun. (CHUCKLES)

even though I was such a good kid.

312
00:18:25,564 --> 00:18:29,860
And now that I'm an adult,
I've taken real ownership over the fact

313
00:18:29,943 --> 00:18:31,987
that I am Jewish and that I do celebrate

what everybody celebrates.

This song that I'm singing

(SIGHS)

338
00:21:03,639 --> 00:21:06,767
Always wanted a baby elephant,
which I thought'd be the coolest thing.

339
00:21:06,850 --> 00:21:09,978
I asked for
the black Power Ranger costume,

340
00:21:10,062 --> 00:21:11,813
and I got the blue Power Ranger costume.

341
00:21:11,897 --> 00:21:16,527
A school desk. That's right.
So, what? So I could play school?

342
00:21:16,610 --> 00:21:19,279
Every year, I would ask
for a new American Girl doll,

343
00:21:19,363 --> 00:21:22,824
even though they're all the same.
You know, quantity over quality.

344
00:21:22,908 --> 00:21:24,576
I could pretend school

345
00:21:24,660 --> 00:21:28,038
when I was not at school.
Like a really cool kid.

346
00:21:28,539 --> 00:21:31,291

-Probably to be a mermaid.

Barbie's dream house.

348
00:21:33,210 --> 00:21:35,003
I actually wanted a Barbie laptop.

349
00:21:35,087 --> 00:21:36,713
All I wanted was a bride dress.

350
00:21:36,797 --> 00:21:38,590
My parents were
giving me all this stuff,

351
00:21:38,674 --> 00:21:40,592
and I didn't care,
I wanted this bride dress.

352
00:21:40,676 --> 00:21:43,262
So, I think a bride dress. (LAUGHS)

What is up? Merry Christmas.

381
00:23:34,498 --> 00:23:36,625
I was born in LA,
but I grew up in Baltimore

382
00:23:36,708 --> 00:23:40,712
because my mom wanted to open
a performing arts school for kids.

383
00:23:40,796 --> 00:23:44,716
One of the reasons she did it is
because I was so shy when I was younger.

384
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,804
And that school
literally broke me out of my shell.

385
00:23:48,887 --> 00:23:51,557
And I'm just so grateful
that my mom created it,

386
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,393
<i>and she's just been</i>
<i>such an inspiration to me.</i>

389
00:24:01,191 --> 00:24:04,403
on Christmas morning
and being able to be with your family,

390
00:24:04,486 --> 00:24:08,532
and also knowing that one day,
we all are gonna grow up

391
00:24:08,615 --> 00:24:13,036
and we're all gonna be able
to be someone completely different,

392
00:24:13,120 --> 00:24:15,372
but also unique and also special,

393

with the knowledge of what you gain
through all of those years.

394
00:24:18,417 --> 00:24:24,214

my younger self, um, something, you know,

395
00:24:24,298 --> 00:24:28,177
some people are going to doubt you,
but to always believe in yourself,

396
00:24:28,260 --> 00:24:31,763
have faith in yourself, and make each day,

397
00:24:31,847 --> 00:24:34,725
every single day of the year,
as if it were Christmas morning.

398

424
00:26:49,276 --> 00:26:52,529
Okay.
I am from a little town in Michigan.

425
00:26:53,739 --> 00:26:56,617
And I got involved in theater very young.

426
00:26:56,700 --> 00:27:01,038
I always liked to sing
and dance and talk a lot,

427
00:27:01,121 --> 00:27:04,917
and so, I was really lucky
to play a lot of the girl roles

428
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,668
every little girl dreams of playing,

429
00:27:06,752 --> 00:27:10,380
like Annie and
Dorothy in <i>The Wizard of Oz,</i>

430
00:27:10,464 --> 00:27:11,924
and I also played a bunch of roles

431
00:27:12,007 --> 00:27:14,343
that every little girl
doesn't really dream of playing

432
00:27:14,426 --> 00:27:19,598

Wilbur the pig, and Tiny Tim,

I started young with performing,
with my stage debut as an angel of God.

437
00:27:35,239 --> 00:27:37,658
And I remember taking it so seriously,

438
00:27:37,741 --> 00:27:41,036
the woman who was designing the costumes
handed me this lip gloss

439
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:48,001
as an artistic flare, and I really thought
that was the touch that made me an angel.

Now you may know him
as Mr. Mazzara from our show,

444
00:28:01,598 --> 00:28:03,976
and he isn't very nice to Miss Jenn.

445
00:28:04,059 --> 00:28:08,772
But I have to tell you the truth
is that Mark St. Cyr is the sweetest.

is I got to spend
so much more time with my family,

00:31:51,036 --> 00:31:53,497
<i>Friendship, friendship</i>
<i>everywhere you look</i>

504
00:31:53,580 --> 00:31:56,834
I'm an only child, and so my parents
just absolutely loved that

505
00:31:56,917 --> 00:31:58,627
<i>and they loved filming me.</i>

506
00:31:58,710 --> 00:32:01,004
Mom, this isn't Hannah Montana...

507
00:32:01,088 --> 00:32:03,090
OLIVIA: (LAUGHS) I got ya', babe.

508
00:32:03,841 --> 00:32:07,261
There's just, like, so much footage
of me singing these gibberish songs.

509
00:32:07,344 --> 00:32:08,846
(SCATS)

510
00:32:10,013 --> 00:32:12,850
I am so inspired
by female singer-songwriters,

511
00:32:12,933 --> 00:32:15,060
I draw so much inspiration from them,

512
00:32:15,143 --> 00:32:19,314
like, Taylor Swift and Fiona Apple
and Lorde, and people like that.

513
00:32:19,398 --> 00:32:21,942
I think the best artists
are great listeners, and so

514
00:32:22,025 --> 00:32:24,486
I definitely try to learn a lot from them.

515
00:32:24,570 --> 00:32:27,739
Tonight, I'm going to sing a song
called <i>River</i> by Joni Mitchell.

516
00:32:27,823 --> 00:32:31,034
Joni Mitchell's one of the most iconic
songwriters of all time.

517
00:32:31,118 --> 00:32:34,872
And she did a really good job
of writing a sad Christmas song,

518
00:32:34,955 --> 00:32:36,290
which I think is so special.

519
00:32:36,373 --> 00:32:39,209
Christmas and the holidays
are nostalgic for a lot of people,

520
00:32:39,293 --> 00:32:41,837
and sometimes that nostalgia
doesn't have to always be,

521
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:43,505
you know, joyful and peaceful,

522
00:32:43,589 --> 00:32:46,091
and she does a really great job
of capturing that, uh,

523
00:32:46,175 --> 00:32:47,676
so I'm really excited to sing it.

524
00:32:49,887 --> 00:32:51,430
(MUSIC PLAYING)

525
00:32:59,021 --> 00:33:01,315

535
00:33:59,665 --> 00:34:05,337
<i>I made my baby cry</i>

536
00:34:16,682 --> 00:34:18,934
<i>He tried hard to help me</i>

537
00:34:19,017 --> 00:34:20,936
<i>Ya' know, he put me at ease</i>

538
00:34:21,478 --> 00:34:25,858
<i>And he loved me so naughty</i>
<i>made me weak in the knees</i>

539
00:34:25,941 --> 00:34:28,652
<i>Oh, I wish I had a river</i>

540
00:34:29,486 --> 00:34:33,448
<i>I could skate away on</i>

541
00:34:35,450 --> 00:34:39,830
<i>I'm so hard to handle</i>
<i>I'm selfish and I'm sad</i>

542
00:34:39,913 --> 00:34:42,332
<i>Now I've gone and lost the best baby</i>

543
00:34:42,416 --> 00:34:44,835
<i>That I ever had</i>

544
00:34:44,918 --> 00:34:47,546

The drama kids of East High...

562
00:36:19,054 --> 00:36:23,809
...have decided to launch their very own
Instagram page dedicated to me.

563
00:36:23,892 --> 00:36:25,644
Well, the theater club.

564
00:36:25,727 --> 00:36:28,814
And they do it the only way
theater kids know how.

565
00:36:28,897 --> 00:36:31,233
By singing and dancing
through the halls at school.

566
00:36:31,316 --> 00:36:34,486
Then stick around for one more song
that'll bring you home for the holidays.

567
00:36:34,570 --> 00:36:36,613
And thank you for joining us

568

that behind these doors,

00:39:12,436 --> 00:39:14,188
the theater is being restored to its full,

614
00:39:14,271 --> 00:39:17,441
resplendent, 1960s-era glory
over the holiday break.

(MALE INTERVIEWER SPEAKING)

618
00:39:31,622 --> 00:39:35,459
Um, I think Christmas for me really means

619
00:39:35,542 --> 00:39:40,088
being able to sit back
from working and traveling

620
00:39:40,172 --> 00:39:44,468
and just remember what it's like
to be a regular 16-year-old girl.

621
00:39:44,551 --> 00:39:47,012
Christmas to me now is just a great time

622
00:39:47,095 --> 00:39:50,682
to reconnect with the family
that you're away from most of the year.

623
00:39:50,766 --> 00:39:55,145
I think of family, tons of fun
in the snow, and food.

624
00:39:55,229 --> 00:39:56,438
Lots and lots of food.

625
00:39:56,522 --> 00:39:58,524
A chance to spend
quality time with the family,

626
00:39:58,607 --> 00:39:59,608
bring us all together.

627
00:39:59,691 --> 00:40:01,527
And you might not know this,

628
00:40:01,610 --> 00:40:04,613
but quality time
is one of my love languages.

629
00:40:06,240 --> 00:40:09,743
Christmas always made me
think of my home that I grew up in.

630
00:40:09,826 --> 00:40:15,332
But now, having Luke, it's really about
me making his memories with him.

631
00:40:15,415 --> 00:40:18,210
And I wanna balance it
with letting him know

632
00:40:18,293 --> 00:40:21,129
(VOICE BREAKING) that Christmas
is really about being loved.

633
00:40:21,213 --> 00:40:23,590
And it's not about
all the presents that I give him,

634
00:40:24,299 --> 00:40:28,720
but it's really that he is
the biggest gift I have ever received.

635
00:40:29,304 --> 00:40:31,557
I've had the opportunity
to be able to give back,

636
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:32,808
especially to my parents.

637
00:40:32,891 --> 00:40:36,728
It was kinda difficult for them
to, um, get everyone in my family,

638
00:40:36,812 --> 00:40:38,146
you know, a really great gift.

639
00:40:38,230 --> 00:40:42,401
They did the best that they could, uh,
and so the thing I'm most excited about

640
00:40:42,484 --> 00:40:45,279
is to be able to give back to them
and the rest of my family.

641
00:40:45,863 --> 00:40:46,864
And you know what?

642
00:40:46,947 --> 00:40:48,156
That's Christmas to me.

<i>Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me</i>

647
00:41:12,472 --> 00:41:18,145
<i>I see the children play outside</i>
<i>like angels in the snow</i>

<i>While Mom and Daddy share a kiss</i>
<i>under the mistletoe</i>

649
00:41:23,901 --> 00:41:27,029
