Waching daily Jan 2 2019

Man: Today, children everywhere

are making preparations for an event

of world-shaking significance...

The annual visit of Santa Claus.

Informed sources report legions of junior citizens

are making monumental efforts not to cry

and not to pout.

Meanwhile, letters by the thousands

have been flooding postal facilities

at the North Pole.

Doggone thing always conks out when you...

Well, hello there!

My name's Special Delivery Kluger...

S.D. for short.

Oh, I've got lots of letters for Santa today,

and every year, they're the same.

Some ask for toys, but a lot ask questions.

Like, you take this one. I bet one of you wrote it.

Child: "Dear Santa, why do you wear a red suit?"

Uh-huh. I thought so. And this one...

Child: My turn. "Dear Santa,

"why do you come down the chimney

when I'm asleep?"

How about these?

Child: Why do you have whiskers?

Boy: Why do you live at the North Pole?

Boy: Why do you leave presents?

Girl: Why do you always come

on Christmas Eve?

Girl: Why do some people call you Kris Kringle?

Children: Why? Why?

Now, hold on, hold on!

I can answer all your questions

because I know everything about Santa.

Now, Santa is a busy man.

He has no time to play.

He's got millions and millions of stockings

to fill on Christmas day.

So you'd better write your letter now

and mail it right away,

because he's getting ready

with his reindeers and his sleigh.

♪ So... you better watch out ♪

♪ You better not cry ♪

♪ You better not pout ♪

♪ I'm telling you why ♪

So you want to know all about Santa, eh?

Best place to start is at the very beginning,

when Santa was just a little baby.

Child: You mean, Santa was once...

[Giggles] A baby?

Of course. Everybody's got to be a baby

at least once in their lives.

Now, this was years and years ago...

Oh, way back.

In one of the northern countries,

there was a small city called Sombertown.

It was a cold, cold place which shivered in the shadows

of the strange Mountain of the Whispering Winds.

[Thunder]

Now, the main reason for all this gloom

was the mayor... a mean old grouch of a fellow

who was known as Burgermeister Meisterburger.

[Children laughing]

Herr Burgermeister! Herr Burgermeister!

Look what was discovered on your front stoop!

What? What, Grimsly?

The milk? The daily paper?

No, sir... a baby!

Oh, is that all?

[Choking]

A baby?!

And there's a note.

"Please, sir, take care of my child,

and protect him from the dangers

of the Mountain of the Whispering Winds.

He will be exceptional

if only given the love he needs."

I, Burgermeister Meisterburger,

take care of a baby?

Outrageous! What's its name?

This is the only clue, sir.

It says, "Claus."

Oh, take the little baggage to the orphan asylum.

That's the proper place for foundlings, anyway.

[Baby crying]

Get that brat out of here!

[Wind howling]

Oh! The sleigh... it broke away!

Oh, my goodness!

Where are you, baby Claus?

Oh, do come back! Come back!

Narrator: Well, that strange wind blew the little sleigh

right up to the Mountain of the Whispering Winds.

[Thunder]

For, you see, that Mountain was the home

of the awful, the terrible...

Oh, I hate to even say his name!

That Mountain was the home of the...

Winter Warlock...

The strange hermit of the north

who lived alone in a ghostly palace of ice,

practicing his strange spells and snowy incantations.

[Thunder]

The animals knew they had to hide that baby, and fast.

[Footsteps]

They knew where that baby belonged,

so, quick as they could, they started on their way.

Child: Where? Where?

Well, you see,

just beyond the Mountain was Rainbow River Valley,

and there, by a bend in the magical stream,

was the home of a jolly family of little people...

Elves, you might call them.

Kringle was their name.

The door was answered by an elf named Dingle...

Dingle Kringle, to be precise.

Yes? Who's there?

There's who? Ooh!

Wiggle my ears and tickle my toes!

Methinks I see a baby's nose!

It's more than a nose.

There's a whole baby attached to it!

Better call my brothers.

Wingle! Bingle!

Tingle! Zingle!

What is it, Dingle?

It's a baby, Zingle.

A baby what, Wingle?

A baby baby, Tingle.

I like babies, Bingle.

Our baby's the best baby of them all, Wingle.

Narrator: They brought the little fella

to the elf queen, Tanta Kringle.

A baby! What a splendid idea!

He shall live with us and sleep with us

and drink warm cocoa with us.

What will we call him, Tanta Kringle?

His license says, "Claus."

Unusual name.

However, we shall call him Kris...

Kris Kringle.

[All cheering]

Narrator: Well, those little Kringles

took that baby to their hearts.

Soon as he was old enough, they set up a little school

and taught him all the important things...

How to read and write and talk

and count stars on a crystal night,

and how to make toys.

Child: Make toys?

Oh, sure.

That was the Kringles' main occupation.

They were toymakers.

The only problem

was there were no children to give them to.

You remember, Sombertown was on the other side

of the Mountain of the Whispering Winds,

and the little elves just couldn't make it

past the Winter Warlock.

So...

The toys kind of stacked up some.

It's really quite sad.

We will never be able

to transport our toys

over the mountain.

Someday, when I am bigger,

I'll take them for you, Tanta Kringle.

Oh, that will be the day!

We will be great toymakers again, as we once were.

When was that, Tanta?

Oh, years and years ago.

The Kringles were world-renowned,

for, you know, we were the very first royal toymakers...

The first toymakers to the King.

[Applause]

Child (voice-over): So that's why he makes

such wonderful toys.

Narrator: That's why.

The Kringles taught him everything they knew.

Of course, Kris had other teachers...

The animals.

But the seals taught him the most important things...

How to have fun and...

Ho ho ho ho!

Ho ho ho ho!

How to laugh...

Real hard and wonderful, like he meant it.

Ho ho ho ho!

Well, years went by,

and finally, Kris was a fine young man.

I'm a man now, Tanta.

I can take those toys

across the Mountain of the Whispering Winds.

It would be nice

if someone played with our toys.

If only one of my dollies could be held tight

by a little girl.

It's decided, then.

Tomorrow, I leave for Sombertown.

[All cheering]

Tanta Kringle?

Ah, I was just packing.

Did I wake you up?

I was awake anyhow. I made this for your trip.

A real Kringle suit!

Child (voice-over): So that's where

he got the red suit.

Narrator: Yep, and he's always worn one just like it,

right to this day.

Well, Kris said good-bye to all his friends...

Elf and animal.

Just as night was falling,

Kris started to make his way through the dismal forest

which lay at the foot of the Warlock's Mountain.

Kris: Hey!

Why... why, you're a penguin.

[Honk]

Well, what is a penguin doing here?

[Glug glug]

You're looking for a stick? - [Honk]

A branch?

A log? A pole?

[Honk honk]

The North Pole? - [Glug]

No? The South Pole!

[Honk honk]

Well, little feller,

that's on the other end of the Earth.

You're just about as lost as you could get.

You better travel with me.

You need someone to take care of you.

- [Kiss] - Now, cut that out.

Come on, uh, Topper.

I'll call you Topper.

Ok? - [Honk honk]

Come on. This way, little feller.

Voice: Who nears my mountain?

Go back...

Or you are doomed!

Come on, Topper!

[Evil laughter]

I shall get him when he returns.

He's got to cross my mountain on the way home,

and then...

[Laughing]

No more being the nice guy.

[Laughing]

We made it, Topper.

And...

And look! Sombertown...

Just sitting there waiting for us

and our good Kringle toys!

Narrator: That's what they thought.

But what they didn't realize was at that very moment

in the Sombertown City Hall...

Grimsly: His honor...

Burgermeister Meisterburger.

As I suspected...

You've broken your funny bone.

Ohh...

What caused me to trip, Grimsly?

This, sir.

Hmm? A toy?

As I suspected.

I hate toys, and toys hate me.

Either they are going or I am going,

and I am certainly not going, Grimsly.

I have a job for you to do. Now, take this down.

No holdin' back, now.

Give me all your toys,

by order of the Burgermeister.

[Neighing laughter]

We'll never play again.

Ho ho ho ho ho!

Narrator: The townspeople didn't know what to make of Kris.

Hi there. Ha ha.

Nice day, friend.

Don't "Hi" me.

Good morning, ma'am.

You ought to be ashamed of yourself, young man,

wearing such outlandish clothes.

Clothes?

Look, all I want to do is give away these toys.

Toys?!

Townspeople: Toys?!

Oh! Get him out of here!

[All shouting at once]

What did I say?

[Honk]

Well, what's going on here?

We're doing our chores.

Yeah, and no more playing.

No playing, eh?

Are you washing out... stockings?

Uh-huh. It's one of our daily duties.

Then we hang them by the fireplace

so they dry overnight.

That's the only way they judge you around here...

By how many chores you do

and how clean your stockings are.

Is that so?

Well, uh, you don't have to look so glum about it.

Why?

I don't know. I just don't like sour faces.

Now, I got some real nice goodies for you,

but not if you look like this.

You better watch out. Better not cry.

Better not pout.

[Both] Why?

I'm telling you why!

[Both] Yeah?

'Cause I came to town, and look what I brought.

[Both] Toys!

Real toys!

Why, sure...

Compliments of the Kringles.

But... but what about the Burgermeister?

What about him?

If he wants a toy, he may have one.

I'll save him a big red yo-yo.

[Laughing]

Come on. Let's play!

Yeah! Come on!

Woman: Wait!

You must not play with toys.

And, uh, who are you?

That's miss Jessica, our new schoolteacher.

Kris Kringle at your service, Miss Jessica.

How dare you come here

in those ridiculous clothes

and make fun of me?

Clothes again? I wasn't making...

And what do you mean

by giving the children toys?

Don't you know toys are against the law?

- What?

- Yep. It's true.

Gee. That's kind of a silly law.

If the Burgermeister saw you,

we would all be in great danger.

In danger from toys?

Why, that's the silliest thing I ever heard.

Toys are frivolous, impractical,

unproductive, and...

What's that?

For you.

A China doll?

I always wanted one when I was a little girl,

but my parents wouldn't...

[Kisses doll] Oh! Thank you.

I mean...

Watch out for that Dolly.

She's a hardened criminal, I hear.

Well, maybe it is a silly law.

I mean...

What do you say you help me hand out these presents, huh?

It's too big a job for one oversized Kringle

and a little lost penguin.

Burgermeister: Ah, a perfect day.

Everybody is glum.

Ah, see? All the little children are playing with their toys.

[Sputters] Playing with their toys?!

Stop... in the name of the law!

You brats are under arrest!

Take them away.

Don't arrest those children!

It was my fault.

I gave them the toys.

You?! How dare you?

You are obviously a nonconformist and a rebel!

Me? Rebel?

Arrest this man immediately.

For you.

[Sputters] A yo-yo?

I love yo-yos!

I used to be able to do all kinds of tricks.

Whee! Hoo hoo hoo!

Hee hee! Hoo hoo hoo!

Excuse me, sir,

but you're breaking your own laws.

What? What are you saying? What?

[Sputtering] Ooh...

Ooh! Ooh, I have been bamboozled!

Arrest him!

Arrest him!

Burgermeister: Oh, look! He climbs like a squirrel,

leaps like a deer,

and is as slippery as a seal.

After him!

He went into the woods!

We'll never find him in there.

I guess we lost 'em, Topper.

Slow down, now.

Ooh-whee!

Wonder where we are.

[Honk honk]

"You are trespassing

on the lands of the Winter Warlock."

[Tree roars]

Hey! Hey, let go!

Let go!

Kris Kringle...

You've disturbed me for the very last time.

Now I have you...

And you'll never get away!

[Laughing evilly]

[Warlock laughing]

Look, uh, before you do me in,

would you tell your tree friends

to let me loose for a second?

You see, I have something for you.

What is this, a trick?

Oh, oh, no, sir, Mr. Warlock,

or may I call you "Winter"?

Mr. Warlock, if you please!

Oh. Well, I managed to save one little toy...

And I'd like you to have it.

You...

You wish to give me...

A present?

A... A toy?

Yes, sir.

But... nobody ever gives

mean old Warlock... a toy.

I'd like to start a new custom.

If you'd just call off...

Wha... what? Oh, oh, yeah.

Uh, heh heh heh!

Oh, yes, of course.

But you mustn't mind the tree monsters.

Their bark is worse than their bite.

Ha ha ha!

"Their bark is worse than their bite."

Ha ha ha!

Hey, uh, Willie Willow,

Peter Pine,

release the Kringle, hmm?

[Chuckling] Yeah.

And no tricks, now.

Oh, oh, no. No, sir, Mr. Warlock.

A choo-choo.

[Kissing]

I've always wanted one. [Sobbing]

[Water running]

What's that?

It's... my icy heart.

It's melting.

Well, look, Mr. Warlock...

Please, please,

call me "Winter."

"Winter"?

Oh, yes, yes!

Suddenly, my whole outlook has changed

from bad to good.

Great.

Ah... but will it last?

I really am a mean and despicable creature

at heart, you know.

It's so difficult to...

Really change.

Difficult?

Ha ha ha!

Why, look here.

Changing from bad to good is as easy

as taking your first step.

There's all kinds of ways we can help each other.

You can bring me nice, new toys

and... I can assist you with my magic.

Uh... how?

Oh ho.

I'll show you.

Gaze into my magic crystal snowball.

Someone is looking for you.

Kris! Kris!

Kris: Jessica?

Winter: Go to her, lad.

Oh!

Only me, ma'am.

I thought I'd never find you again.

I wanted to bring you these...

Letters and notes from the children of Sombertown,

asking for more toys.

You see, the Burgermeister

destroyed the ones you brought.

You tell those young'uns there'll be plenty of toys,

but only if they behave themselves.

No cryin' or poutin' or...

Oh, I... I'll know.

I got ways of knowin'.

My, uh, personal friend, the Warlock, taught me this.

Yes, sir, I can see 'em when they're sleepin',

and I know when they're awake.

My goodness.

You know if they're bad or good?

Uh-huh. So you tell them to be good,

for goodness' sake.

Oh, thank you, Kris.

For what?

For being so kind,

for just being you. [Kiss]

Gol-Lee!

Now, uh...

About the toys...

I'll have to kind of slip 'em in after dark,

when the Burgermeister is asleep,

so you tell all the boys and girls

to leave their doors unlocked tomorrow night.

Narrator: Well, Kris went back to the Kringles'

to get some more toys.

And what do you think those crazy Kringles did?

Yes, sir, they all moved in on old Winter...

Lock, stock, and toy box.

I guess they figured it made sense

to move the source of supply close to the demand.

Oh, I'm crowded!

[Chuckles] But at least I'm loved.

Narrator: Kris made a list of all the children

and the toys they wanted.

He checked it over once, then checked it over twice.

He tried to figure out just who was naughty and who was nice.

Well, I guess they're all pretty nice.

Narrator: So he packed up and was off to Sombertown.

[Honking]

Narrator: When Kris was safe inside Sombertown,

he tried all the doors, and if they were open,

he knew a child lived inside who was expecting a toy.

This is outrageous!

Toys! Toys everywhere!

What sort of criminal is this Kringle,

sneaking into houses by night?

I hereby decree

that all the town's doors and windows

will be locked tight against this prowler!

Narrator: Well, more and more letters came

for Kris from the children.

Jessica would gather them together and then give them

to the animals, who would deliver them.

And Kris, well, he just couldn't turn anybody down.

But this time, he found all the doors were locked to him.

Now, there was one special toy he just had to deliver.

Susie, a tiny little girl who was very, very sick,

had asked Kris for a toy Noah's ark.

Kris just couldn't disappoint her.

[Honking]

Topper, shh. What is it?

You have an idea...

How to get into the house, but not through the door?

Up? The sky?

The moon?

The stars?

The chimney?

Go down the chimney?

[Kiss]

Great idea!

Well...

Here goes.

Narrator: And that's how he started going down chimneys.

Child: Oh! Now I understand.

Kris: That's fun!

What a great job I've got.

[Honking] [Kris laughing]

Ho ho ho ho! Come on.

There's a lot more chimneys to explore tonight.

Ha ha ha! Ho ho ho!

More toys!

Discovered by the hearths and the mantel pieces!

Each house in Sombertown

will be searched before dawn.

If any more toys are found by the fireplace,

they will be confiscated

and the children severely punished!

So be it!

Yow!

Narrator: But those letters just kept right on coming.

Doggone, how can I get the toys to them?

They got to have toys.

Otherwise, their life will be nothing but school

and chores and washing their stockings and...

The stockings.

The stockings!

Take this to Jessica.

She'll know what to tell the children.

Burgermeister: Company, halt!

Search the premises!

If you find so much as one marble

or half a Jack,

the house is under arrest!

Double time, hup!

We can't find anything, Herr Burgermeister.

Good. Very good.

No toys.

Nothing but drying stockings...

Ha ha ha...

As is proper.

About face!

Forward, march!

Hup, hup, hup, hup, hup...

Whew!

Thank heaven there were no toys.

Children: Whee! Look!

Narrator: And that's how he started leaving presents

in stockings.

More toys?

But how?

Ow!

Blast it! On my toe-ho-ho!

I will do what I should have done

a long time ago.

I will set a trap for that bothersome Kringle.

His next visit to Sombertown

will be his last.

[Gasps] Oh, no!

I must warn Kris.

Narrator: But she was too late.

Kris had already left with his toys.

Oh, Mr. Warlock...

Uh, "Winter," please.

You must help me stop Kris.

Please, use your magic.

Oh... alas.

I've been... disenchanted.

I have no more powers.

I can't even do card tricks.

Oh, that's terrible!

What shall we do?

Grimsly: Nobody is going to do anything!

You are all under arrest

for defying the law and making toys,

and for being an accomplice

to public enemy number one,

Kris Kringle!

To the dungeon!

Narrator: Oh, I tell you, things didn't look good.

And meanwhile, back in Sombertown...

Stop! You are under arrest!

Not me!

Wait! Look!

[Honking]

What can I do?

You have me.

Ha ha ha ha!

To the dungeon!

Children of Sombertown,

you will never, never, play again!

[Children crying]

Well, sir, it looked like Kris was finally beaten.

Herr Burgermeister, please.

You must set Kris

and the little Kringles free.

Ho ho! Ha ha! Set them free?

Never.

I promise they will never disturb you again.

Bah!

What good are your promises?

Good-bye,

good luck,

and good riddance!

My own town, turned against me.

Well, my eyes are beginning to open

for the very first time to what life is really all about.

And I know just where I belong...

With Kris, wherever he is.

Today is not the end.

It's only the beginning.

Narrator: Well, Jessica realized the first thing

she had to do was set Kris and the others free.

[Knocking] Mr. Warlock.

Hmm? Oh! Oh, Jessica.

Oh, "Winter," please.

What are you doing here?

Trying to set you all free,

but I don't know how.

If only you had your magic powers back.

Alas,

I've nothing but a few meager magic leftovers

here in my pockets:

A short-circuited wand... useless;

A dried-up magic potion... powerless;

The tiny stubs of 100 or so magic candles;

And a few, last handfuls

of magic feed corn... just junk.

Ha ha. Ah, me.

Magic feed corn?

Well, it's of no use to us. It can't dissolve prison walls.

All it can do is make reindeer fly.

Reindeer? Fly?

Yes, yes. Ridiculous, isn't it?

Narrator: Later that night, Jessica rounded up

some of Kris' reindeer friends.

They just had to take one nibble of that corn,

and...

Whoo-ee! Look at them go!

I bet you know their names.

Girl: Dasher and Dancer...

Boy: And Prancer and Vixen...

Second boy: And Comet and Cupid...

Second girl: And Donner and Blitzter.

Narrator: Yes, sir.

First girl: And don't forget...

[Beep]

Narrator: Heh heh heh!

No, that's another story.

Halt! Stop!

Stop!

Let's go, Donner.

Let's gooooo...

Tanta Kringle: Onward, Vixen! Onward!

Well, I still have a little magic!

Ho ho! I'm not such a loser after all!

[Honking]

Girl: And that's how Santa's reindeer started to fly?

Narrator: That's just the way it happened.

We Meisterburgers shall hunt them down

throughout the land.

Those rebels will not have one moment's peace

until they are captured again.

Ha ha ha!

It's not even safe here.

The guardsmen will be coming back.

We'll have to push on.

I'll go anywhere you say, Kris.

Narrator: Like Robin Hood of old,

Kris suddenly found himself called an outlaw.

Burgermeister: "Wanted dead or alive,

the terrible toymaker..."

"Kris Kringle."

Ho ho ho ho ho!

Well, those posters are not going to do them any good now.

Oh, Kris, let me take a good look at it.

Pretty grand, eh?

[Giggles]

It's perfect.

Well, since I'm a Kringle,

I had to grow one sooner or later.

[Children giggling]

Girl: So that's why he has whiskers.

Ah, but you should not use your Kringle name.

It's dangerous.

Not call myself Kringle?

What other name would suit me?

There is one.

You were wearing this when we found you as a baby.

See what it says?

"Claus."

Claus?

Your real name.

You must use it now.

Boy: I knew it, I knew it!

That's where he got his name from.

Narrator: Mm-hmm, and it was that name

he asked Jessica to share.

It was that name Jessica agreed to take, as his wife.

Girl: Jessica.

Oh, she became Mrs. Santa Claus.

Narrator: It was a lovely wedding. Yes, sir.

They held it on Christmas Eve,

and since no town would welcome them,

they stood before the Lord

in the silent winter woods,

and a grove of pine trees was their cathedral.

They put all that pretty stuff onto the pine trees,

and then Kris and Jessica placed their wedding gifts

to each other under the trees.

No church ever looked nicer.

Oh, please...

Let me have...

Just a little magic.

Children: Ahh!

Girl: The very first Christmas trees.

Narrator: ♪ what better way ♪

♪ To tell you ♪

♪ How much you mean to me ♪

♪ Than a token ♪

♪ Of affection ♪

♪ Placed beneath ♪

♪ A Christmas tree? ♪

♪ The custom started ♪

♪ Long, long ago ♪

Narrator: ♪ Gave gifts of love ♪

♪ Baby ♪

But there was no rest for our little group of outcasts.

Soon, they were forced up beyond the reaches of civilization...

Up, far past the most northern city,

past where even most animals live,

up to the North Pole.

This is it, people. Ha ha ha, yes.

This is it.

We'll build ourselves a nice house.

Ha ha ha! Ho ho ho ho...

Heck... ho ho... while we're at it,

we'll build ourselves a castle.

Ho ho ho ho ho!

And the best toy factory in the world.

Narrator: And that's just what they did.

And in no time at all...

Child: Santa's castle and workshop!

Girl: Up at the North Pole!

Narrator: Well, as soon as the buildings were built,

they settled in and started making toys in earnest.

Oh, they needed toys, because, you see,

despite everything the Meisterburgers tried,

the legend of Kris Kringle... or Claus, as he now was known...

Just grew and grew.

And, as the years went by,

animals delivered letters by the thousands.

Oh, just look at this list.

[Sighs] Well...

Load up the sleigh.

Ho ho!

Ah, this is the fourth trip this month.

Narrator: You see, he still had to travel by night

because he was considered an outlaw.

Girl: But when did they stop calling him an outlaw?

Narrator: Well, as time went by, that changed.

You see, the Meisterburgers...

They kind of died off and fell out of power.

And by and by, the good people realized

how silly the Meisterburger laws were.

Well, everybody had a wonderful laugh

and then forgot all about them.

Yes, sir. The older he got, the more famous he became,

and the more folks loved him.

Girl: He's very good, isn't he?

Narrator: Uh-huh. You bet.

Girl: Is that why he's called "Santa Claus"?

Narrator: That's why, honey.

That's why.

It turned into quite a proposition.

I can hardly keep up with the orders.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to limit

my journeys to... one a year.

But on which night should I go out?

I wonder.

Narrator: It wasn't a hard decision to make.

They chose, of course, the holiest night of the year...

The night of profound love,

which was the perfect night for giving.

Girl: Christmas Eve?

Narrator: Christmas Eve,

and that's how it all started.

How goes it, Mr. Warlock?

"Winter," please.

I've got my magic power working just fine.

I can cast up a big freeze. Yes, sir.

I think I can guarantee

a white Christmas.

Wonderful!

Then let's be off!

Santa: Away we go!

And that is the story of Santa Claus.

Girl: Gee, he's so wonderful.

Everybody must love him.

Well... most everybody.

Oh, he's not considered an outlaw anymore,

but there still are some...

Eh, bah! Humbug!

Christmas is a bother... The noise, the crowds.

I really wish it were outlawed.

How can they talk about Santa Claus

when there's so much unhappiness in the world?

Poor, misguided folks.

They missed the whole point.

Lots of unhappiness? Maybe so.

But doesn't Santa take a little bit of that unhappiness away?

Doesn't a smile on Christmas morning scratch out a tear

cried on a Saturday?

Not much, maybe.

But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa

and learn to give as only he can give

of ourselves, our talents,

our love, and our hearts?

Maybe if we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson,

maybe there would finally be peace on earth

and goodwill toward man.

Hey, it's getting late,

and I've got these letters to deliver.

And you better be getting home, too.

Children: Oh!

And remember...

Behave yourselves,

'cause Santa can still look into his magic snowball

and see just what you're up to.

And now that you know all about him,

you can be darn sure that, come snow or high water,

Is Buddy Whiteny's Boyfriend on 'My Big Fat Fabulous Life'? | Heavy.com - Duration: 6:06.

Is Buddy Whiteny's Boyfriend on 'My Big Fat Fabulous Life'? | Heavy.com

Screenshot of Trailer Buddy and Whitney kiss in the trailer for the newest season of My Big Fat Fabulous Life.

Whitney Thore, star of TLC's My Big Fat Fabulous Life, has a new love interest this season, by the looks of the trailer promo – longtime friend and former roommate Buddy Bell.

Fans of MBFFL have long questioned whether the two would ever hook up, and the trailer for the newest season confirms that Whitney has feelings for her friend, although it doesn't look as though the two are actually dating just yet.

Buddy actually announces that he has a new girlfriend named Chelsea, whom he says he would "marry yesterday" if he could.

However, his new relationship with Chelsea doesn't sit well with Whitney nor his ex-girlfriend Heather, Whitney's close friend.

Heather is angry that Buddy seems to have already moved on from their relationship while she is left still feeling heartbroken about their breakup.

The two split up when Buddy entered rehab to deal with his drug addiction.

"I was the one who suffered, and then he gets to move on and find happiness," Heather says in the trailer.

"You know what? F–k Buddy.".

Whitney admits that there is chemistry between her and Buddy, and her friend Ashley Baynes even says in the promo for MBFFL that Whitney has an "undeniable crush" on him.

Hunter Thore, Whitney's brother, believes the two "should just date." The trailer features an emotional clip where Whitney is telling Buddy how jealous she is that he's found love and she hasn't.

Motherhood? Romance?! @whitneywaythore's fabulous year is just beginning! Tune in to the season premiere of #MyBigFatFabLife January 1 at 8/7c.

pic.twitter.com/ydgXdxe7VP   — TLC Network (@TLC) December 15, 2018  .

"I'm envious, you met Chelsea and just fell in love, and it seems like the simplest thing in the world.

People find partners and they have babies and I'm not even anywhere close," Whitney says in the promo.

The trailer then cuts to several scenes of the two having fun together – giving each other massages, laying in bed and dancing together.

Whitney then asks Buddy if she can kiss him, finally giving fans a taste of what they've all been waiting for.

"I don't know, I just wish we were together," she says in the trailer.

So what's going to happen between the two on this season of MBFFL? Will they begin dating? Is Buddy willing to break things off with Chelsea for Whitney, even though he mentioned how much he'd like to marry her? Whitney voiced her concern over his marriage comment, saying she was worried that Buddy "would just get up and get married.

" Is that jealousy speaking, or is she actually concerned that her friend might be rushing into things with his new girlfriend?.

On this season of My Big Fat Fabulous Life, Thore will bring the spotlight on the romantic side of her life as well.

Her boyfriend will be featured regularly on the show and Thore recently explained dating in a Cosmopolitan article.

She wrote, "Don't assume that someone is lacking self confidence because they are bigger.

​We still want to go out and do fun stuff like dancing, and hiking." (Instagram).

We know that this season has Whitney on a mission to help her mother recover from her stroke, as well as a new venture of teaching big girls dance classes around the country.

However, she also mentions how lonely she is, and how she is hoping to find love and start a family.

Is Whitney finally going to get her wish? Will it be with Buddy? Let us know your thoughts on in the comments!.

Tune in tonight, January 1 at 8:00p.

m ET/PT to see what the season has in store for Whitney and Buddy.

Who is HGTV's Alison Victoria Married To? | Heavy.com - Duration: 5:34.

Who is HGTV's Alison Victoria Married To? | Heavy.com

Professional interior designer Alison Victoria is the star of HGTV's newest series, Windy City Rehab.

 On the Chicago-based show, Victoria and her team flip and renovate homes on the North Side despite the blustering conditions.

Windy City Rehab premieres Tuesday, January 1, at 8pm ET/PT.

With all this time in the spotlight, people are growing curious about Victoria's personal life.

Is she single? Married? What do we know about her husband?.

Here's what we know:.

Victoria is married to Luke Harding.

According to Frost Snow, the two have been together since 2013.

What does Harding do? He owns an insurance company.

Frost Snow reports that the pair met on a dating site, and have been going strong since.

They first met in 2011, and two years later, they tied the knot.

Together, the pair is parents to a daughter, whose name has been kept under wraps.

Victoria shares pictures of her daughter on social media, but has yet to reveal her name.

     .

According to her biography on her website, Victoria is a Chicago native.

She graduated from the University of Nevada Las Vegas before working at Christopher Homes as a designer.

Two years later, Victoria launched her own consulting firm, Alison Victoria Interiors, which was based in both Chicago and Las Vegas.

As many DIY Network watchers know, Victoria is the first female host of the Kitchen Crashers series, which wrapped in 2016 after nine seasons.

On the show, she surprisesd homeowners in the Las Vegas and Chicago areas with kitchen redesigns.

Now, she's embarking on a new adventure: Windy City Rehab on HGTV.

Victoria and her family will head to Chicago to "restore vintage homes in the city's historic neighborhoods.".

In a recent interview with HGTV, Victoria was asked a series of questions about redesigning your home.

Discussing changing finishings and colors that won't go out of style, Victoria said, "Most people change their style every 10 years, and wouldn't you like the pricey stuff to last? That's why I'm a big fan of counters in neutral colors like white or gray, or natural-looking shades of blue or green.

For cabinets, you can't go wrong with white Shaker-style doors with hardware in a silvery finish, like chrome.".

What's her goal with her latest show? Victoria tells the Chicago Tribune, "Ultimately, all that my goal is and all my goal has ever been is to be able to really do what I want and do what I love and make a difference in the city because these homes that are going up by other developers — I'm not saying all of them — but some developers are putting up homes just to make money.

Victoria runs a successful social media account with over 40k followers.

Most of her posts promote her new series, while others show her hanging with friends and taking on Chicago.

Based on her Instagram, it seems that Victoria is still busy wrapping up filming for the first season of Windy City Rehab.

 Be sure to tune in to the season premiere tonight on HGTV at 8pm ET/PT.
