1
00:00:06,580 --> 00:00:08,820
Welcome to the North Pole.

2
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,919
I'm going to tell you a story called Santa's Cookie Problem.

3
00:00:14,580 --> 00:00:18,320
Up in the North Pole, Santa and his elves often grow bored,

4
00:00:18,539 --> 00:00:22,000
and they love to play jokes on one another to pass the time.

5
00:01:17,439 --> 00:01:27,439
Today is December 1st, and it's nearly Christmas. Santa's taking his suit out of storage to get ready for Christmas Eve.

6
00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:29,439
Hello, Santa!

7
00:01:29,439 --> 00:01:34,439
Oh, hello, everyone! Welcome to the North Pole!

8
00:01:34,439 --> 00:01:40,439
Why, look at that! It's December 1st. It's almost Christmas!

9
00:01:40,439 --> 00:01:44,439
I better take my suit out of storage.

10
00:01:44,439 --> 00:01:56,859
Oh, yes. There you are. Right where I left you last Christmas. I'll just keep you right here.

11
00:01:59,019 --> 00:02:00,359
Good morning, Santa.

12
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:01,959
Good morning.

13
00:02:02,439 --> 00:02:06,799
There's only one thing. Santa has a cookie problem.

14
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:07,599
Yes.

15
00:02:07,599 --> 00:02:13,360
Santa loves cookies, and now Santa's too big to fit in his suit.

16
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,360
Or maybe his suit is too small to fit him.

17
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,360
Let's get these over here.

18
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:26,379
Oh, I love all kinds of cookies.

19
00:02:26,379 --> 00:02:27,379
Chocolate chip.

20
00:02:27,379 --> 00:02:29,379
These cookies.

21
00:02:29,379 --> 00:02:32,379
Oh, these cookies.

22
00:02:32,379 --> 00:02:34,379
I'm going to change my bed now.

23
00:02:34,379 --> 00:02:37,379
Oh, I can sleep right back here.

24
00:02:37,379 --> 00:02:41,460
I was falling, Santa!

25
00:02:41,460 --> 00:02:42,659
How are we today?

26
00:02:42,659 --> 00:02:44,860
Oh, just great. Just great.

27
00:02:44,860 --> 00:02:47,860
Actually, today's the first of December, no?

28
00:02:47,860 --> 00:02:51,860
Oh, yes it is. Now it's almost Christmas.

29
00:02:51,860 --> 00:02:53,860
There's still lots to do.

30
00:02:53,860 --> 00:02:55,460
It's time to try on your suit.

31
00:02:55,460 --> 00:02:57,460
Yes, let's try on your suit. Come on.

32
00:03:00,860 --> 00:03:01,860
Curtis?

33
00:03:02,860 --> 00:03:03,860
Oh?

34
00:03:03,860 --> 00:03:07,860
I'm sorry. I'm not sure it's going to fit.

35
00:03:07,860 --> 00:03:09,860
It looks a little small.

36
00:03:09,860 --> 00:03:15,860
Oh, don't be silly. I just got it out of storage. Of course it'll fit.

37
00:03:16,860 --> 00:03:18,860
Let's just see here.

38
00:03:18,860 --> 00:03:19,860
Maybe try your right leg.

39
00:03:19,860 --> 00:03:22,860
Okay, your right leg first.

40
00:03:24,860 --> 00:03:28,860
That's not good. Maybe your left leg.

41
00:03:29,860 --> 00:03:34,860
Okay, left leg. Yep, this is the one I can tell.

42
00:03:36,860 --> 00:03:38,860
Oh no, I've got it!

43
00:03:42,770 --> 00:03:47,139
Oh, yes. Yes, I'm fine.

44
00:03:47,139 --> 00:03:50,139
Maybe you should jump into the suit like this.

45
00:03:52,139 --> 00:03:54,139
We'll hold it for you.

46
00:03:54,139 --> 00:03:56,139
Yes, okay, that may work.

47
00:03:58,139 --> 00:03:59,139
Let's see.

48
00:03:59,139 --> 00:04:16,370
I have an idea.

49
00:04:17,050 --> 00:04:18,350
Sam, will you come over here?

50
00:04:19,209 --> 00:04:21,769
You run and jump into it.

51
00:04:22,009 --> 00:04:22,949
Earl and I will hold it.

52
00:04:22,949 --> 00:04:23,790
That's a good idea.

53
00:04:24,149 --> 00:04:25,029
Get them running each other.

54
00:04:25,629 --> 00:04:26,769
That's a good idea.

55
00:04:27,230 --> 00:04:27,589
Take a step.

56
00:04:27,589 --> 00:04:38,589
But first, before any physical activity, I have to remember to do my warm-ups, starting with joint mobility. Right?

57
00:04:38,589 --> 00:04:41,589
One, two, three, four, five...

58
00:04:41,589 --> 00:04:43,589
Great idea, Santa. Sorry.

59
00:04:46,589 --> 00:04:50,589
Alright, here I come. Here I come.

60
00:04:50,589 --> 00:05:32,730
If you can't fit into your suit, there's no magic, no magic, you'll never deliver all those toys.

61
00:05:32,730 --> 00:05:40,730
Think of all those disappointed children, think of Africa, she wanted a Barbie,

62
00:05:40,730 --> 00:05:47,230
Oh, yeah! And Matthew! That's in a barbie, too!

63
00:05:47,230 --> 00:06:00,730
Oh, come on, one little cookie every morning.

64
00:06:00,730 --> 00:06:03,730
You put carrots instead, Santa.

65
00:06:03,730 --> 00:06:06,730
Rudolph loves carrots.

66
00:06:06,730 --> 00:06:13,730
It's a carrot? Well, Rudolph may love carrots, but do I look like a reindeer to you?

67
00:06:13,730 --> 00:06:19,730
Well, you are kind of brown like a reindeer.

68
00:06:19,730 --> 00:06:29,730
I hate to do it, Santa, but I think we're going to have to put you on a diet.

69
00:06:43,709 --> 00:06:44,209
Cookies?

70
00:06:44,209 --> 00:06:46,209
No cookies! No cookies!

71
00:06:46,209 --> 00:06:47,709
What about Sasha's favorite?

72
00:06:47,709 --> 00:06:48,709
Cookies?

73
00:06:48,709 --> 00:06:55,959
Definitely no cookies!

74
00:06:55,959 --> 00:06:57,959
I think I'm going to be sick!

75
00:06:57,959 --> 00:06:58,959
Oh no!

76
00:06:58,959 --> 00:06:59,959
It's okay!

77
00:06:59,959 --> 00:07:01,959
Mommy, it's her cookies!

78
00:07:05,959 --> 00:07:06,959
Nachos?

79
00:07:06,959 --> 00:07:07,959
Oh, me too.

80
00:07:07,959 --> 00:07:08,959
Nachos?

81
00:07:08,959 --> 00:07:09,959
No.

82
00:07:09,959 --> 00:07:25,480
It's been two weeks since Santa started his diet, and now it's almost Christmas.

83
00:07:26,180 --> 00:07:30,180
Santa's been eating lots of fruits and vegetables and exercising a lot,

84
00:07:30,180 --> 00:07:32,500
but he hasn't had any cookies.

85
00:07:39,959 --> 00:07:41,959
Oh

86
00:08:28,910 --> 00:08:39,940
Oh, I'm so asked today.

87
00:08:39,940 --> 00:08:52,830
Oh, where's my cola cow?

88
00:08:52,830 --> 00:08:56,830
Water again.

89
00:08:56,830 --> 00:08:59,830
I don't like water.

90
00:08:59,830 --> 00:09:05,250
And a lovely tray of vegetables and fruits.

91
00:09:06,970 --> 00:09:09,309
Of fruit and vegetables.

92
00:09:11,110 --> 00:09:11,730
Yes.

93
00:09:12,009 --> 00:09:13,289
Oh, come on.

94
00:09:13,350 --> 00:09:16,409
Where are the cookies?

95
00:09:16,929 --> 00:09:17,509
Two cookies.

96
00:09:17,629 --> 00:09:18,509
Oh, come on.

97
00:09:18,570 --> 00:09:19,350
A lot of radish.

98
00:09:20,049 --> 00:09:20,850
Oh, radish.

99
00:09:21,409 --> 00:09:22,470
Tasty radish.

100
00:09:22,690 --> 00:09:24,450
You know I don't like radishes.

101
00:09:25,090 --> 00:09:25,509
Oh!

102
00:09:25,509 --> 00:09:25,629
Oh!

103
00:09:25,629 --> 00:09:27,629
It's so good!

104
00:09:27,629 --> 00:09:29,629
It's the rubbish!

105
00:09:29,629 --> 00:09:31,629
The rubbish!

106
00:09:31,629 --> 00:09:38,460
I'm sorry.

107
00:09:38,460 --> 00:09:40,460
Oh, these are just amazing.

108
00:09:40,460 --> 00:09:42,460
Oh.

109
00:09:42,460 --> 00:09:44,460
Oh.

110
00:09:44,460 --> 00:09:46,460
That's delicious.

111
00:09:46,460 --> 00:09:48,460
They're so good.

112
00:09:48,460 --> 00:09:50,460
I think they're the best

113
00:09:50,460 --> 00:09:52,460
cookies I've ever

114
00:09:52,460 --> 00:09:54,460
tasted.

115
00:09:54,460 --> 00:09:56,460
I think they're better than snow on

116
00:09:56,460 --> 00:09:58,460
Christmas Eve.

117
00:09:58,460 --> 00:10:02,460
I think they're better than Christmas in July.

118
00:10:02,460 --> 00:10:04,460
I think they're even better!

119
00:10:04,460 --> 00:10:06,460
Alright! That's enough!

120
00:10:06,460 --> 00:10:15,460
I've been on this no-cookie, no-cake, no-candy diet for two whole weeks now.

121
00:10:15,460 --> 00:10:21,460
Surely I can have one little cookie and it will still fit into my suit.

122
00:10:21,460 --> 00:10:28,460
Well, I suppose we could check to see if he fits again.

123
00:10:28,460 --> 00:10:30,460
I'll get your suit for you, Santa.

124
00:10:30,460 --> 00:10:32,460
Thank you, Mum.

125
00:10:32,460 --> 00:10:34,460
There's something about that girl.

126
00:10:34,460 --> 00:10:37,460
He's very helpful.

127
00:10:37,460 --> 00:10:45,840
There's no idea his suit is getting changed.

128
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:56,639
It's like six feet away.

129
00:10:56,639 --> 00:10:58,639
Here you are, Santa. This is it.

130
00:10:58,639 --> 00:11:04,450
Alright.

131
00:11:04,450 --> 00:11:05,450
He's so lovely.

132
00:11:05,450 --> 00:11:19,110
It's time it'll definitely fit. I've been missing out on Mrs. Claus's sugar cookies, or chocolate chip cookies, and those gingerbread cookies that I love so much.

133
00:11:19,490 --> 00:11:21,110
The little eyes, and the little arms.

134
00:11:21,110 --> 00:11:22,269
It hurts so much.

135
00:11:23,769 --> 00:11:25,529
Well, time to try it on.

136
00:11:26,509 --> 00:11:29,169
Alright, this arm first.

137
00:11:30,169 --> 00:11:34,509
Yep, I can tell this is definitely going to fit.

138
00:11:35,450 --> 00:11:40,450
Okay, maybe, you know, I think it was, I think it was the other arm.

139
00:11:40,450 --> 00:11:43,450
Yeah, oh yes, there we go, that's good.

140
00:11:43,450 --> 00:11:45,450
That's very good.

141
00:11:45,450 --> 00:11:47,450
Oh, I almost got it.

142
00:12:06,970 --> 00:12:10,970
There's something very strange about this suit.

143
00:12:10,970 --> 00:12:17,970
suit. Yes, very strange indeed.

144
00:12:17,970 --> 00:13:07,450
Maybe these carrots and vegetables and exercise aren't such a bad idea after all.

145
00:13:07,450 --> 00:13:13,629
All right, now it's time to try on the...

146
00:13:13,629 --> 00:13:14,409
What?

147
00:13:15,309 --> 00:13:18,350
This is not...

148
00:13:18,350 --> 00:13:28,779
Maybe not your suit.

149
00:13:28,879 --> 00:13:33,580
No, I think I've discovered why my diet hasn't been working.

150
00:13:34,460 --> 00:13:36,879
I wondered where my doll suit went.

151
00:13:37,039 --> 00:13:40,799
Oh, the suit from your doll.

152
00:13:41,279 --> 00:13:41,700
Naked.

153
00:13:41,700 --> 00:13:49,440
You mean this whole time, I've been missing out on cookies, and it was merely a joke?

154
00:13:50,340 --> 00:13:52,299
Who could have done such a thing?

155
00:13:52,860 --> 00:13:59,980
Who could have known it was you?

156
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,740
Here's your real suit.

157
00:14:04,539 --> 00:14:06,379
It was a good one, though.

158
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,159
It was a good one, I will admit.

159
00:14:11,159 --> 00:14:17,980
But just you wait until summer. I'm going to get you back real good
