   Mother

   Okay, kids, it's time to put the ornaments on the tree.

2. 00:03

   Speaker 1

   Oh, yay! Good. Okay.

3. 00:05
   

   Father

   Let's choose the ones we like, because this year, I think we're gonna throw away all the broken ones.

4. 00:09
   

   Elfie

   Did hear that. They're getting rid of whoever's not picked this year. Well, one thing's for sure. There's no way I'm gonna be picked. Angel, of course they're gonna pick you. I mean, they always need something for the top of the tree.

5. 00:22
   

   Nutcracker

   Yeah, you're the angel. The angel always goes on top.

6. 00:26
   

   California Raisin

   Hey, what's up?

7. 00:28
   

   Angel

   Um, where did you come from?

8. 00:30
   

   California Raisin

   That mom lady picked me up at the hallmark over by the liquor store. I'm going to own that tree, lady!

9. 00:37
   

   Elfie

   Don't listen to me. I'm sure they'll pick you, Angel.

10. 00:40
    

    Angel

    Oh, thanks, Elfie. I'm sure they're going to pick you, too.

11. 00:43
    

    Elfie

    You think? Even though Timmy picked it off my good eye and wrote all over me with a magic marker? It won't come off. I'm toast!

12. 00:52
    

    Angel

    You still look good to me.

13. 00:54

    Speaker 1

    I want this skier.

14. 00:56
    

    Skier

    Whoa! See you up there, girl!

15. 01:00
    

    Mother

    That's such a nice skier. Good. Let's put him on the tree, honey. That's nice.

16. 01:03
    

    Angel

    Do you think my wings still look pretty, Elfie? They still look pretty, right?

17. 01:08
    

    Elfie

    Oh, Angel, your wings are so pretty. I would kill for looks like yours.

18. 01:14
    

    California Raisin

    Cuz I heard it through the grapevine. Being on the tree will be mine. Who am I kidding? I haven't been on a tree since 86.

19. 01:27
    

    Angel

    Don't worry, California, in 20 years you're going to be worth a fortune.

20. 01:32
    

    Mother

    Oh, there's a pretty nutcracker.

21. 01:34
    

    Nutcracker

    Whoa, good luck, guys.

22. 01:37
    

    Mother

    Let's see. Look at that, a lovely nutcracker. Let's see if you can find a good spot for it on the tree. Come on.

23. 01:43
    

    Elfie

    Well, I'm happy for the nutcracker.

24. 01:46
    

    Macaroni Tree

    Hey, guys. I don't want to brag, but I think I have a pretty good chance of getting on the tree. After all, Gregory made me in first grade. He'll probably feel pretty sentimental.

25. 01:56
    

    Elfie

    Think so?

26. 01:57
    

    Star

    I overheard in the car that Gregory couldn't make it home from boarding school.

27. 02:01
    

    Macaroni Tree

    I think I'm gonna be sick.

28. 02:04

    Speaker 1

    Oh, a Santa!

29. 02:05
    

    Santa

    Ho ho ho!

30. 02:08
    

    California Raisin

    Okay, what is a Santa?

31. 02:10
    

    Mother

    Good. Okay, put Santa up high, honey, just so that the dog doesn't get him, okay?

32. 02:16
    

    Elfie

    Well, the tree's getting pretty full. I'm scared.

33. 02:21
    

    Angel

    I know. Me too.

34. 02:23
    

    Elfie

    Yeah, you're usually the last one they put up so when you go, it's pretty messed over.

35. 02:29
    

    Angel

    Yeah, unless they go with some new blood.

36. 02:32
    

    Instruction Booklet

    I've got a pretty good shot, right guys?

37. 02:35
    

    Elfie

    What? You're an instructions booklet for a space heater. You must have fallen accidentally in here or something.

38. 02:43
    

    Mother

    A pretty star!

39. 02:46
    

    Star

    This is it! See you later, losers!

40. 02:50
    

    Mother

    Oh, a beautiful star for the top of the tree. Hey, we'll start a new tradition. Okay.

41. 02:54
    

    Father

    Tell you what, let's give that to Mommy, and I'll get a chair so we can put them up on top.

42. 02:57
    

    Mother

    Okay, good.

43. 02:58
    

    Angel

    Oh, no. What are we gonna do? This has never happened to me before.

44. 03:04
    

    Elfie

    I'm sorry, Angel. I mean, I know why they didn't pick me, but you? If it means anything, I just wanted you to know that I have always looked up to you all these years. For all these years, you've always handled yourself like a real angel.

45. 03:22
    

    Angel

    Thanks, Elfie.

46. 03:24
    

    Mother

    Honey, hand me the star so I can put it up.

47. 03:26
    

    Father

    Hold on, honey. I just gotta get rid of this trash here. Oh, come on, Stormy. Stormy? Oh, Stormy, come on.

48. 03:42
    

    Mother

    Oh, well, you I'm just gonna go ahead and grab the angel. It's all ruined.

49. 03:47
    

    Angel

    Did you hear that? They're picking me! I'm gonna be saved!

50. 03:52
    

    Elfie

    I'm so happy for you, Angel!

51. 03:54
    

    Angel

    But what about you?

52. 03:56
    

    Elfie

    Oh, don't worry. I've always wanted to see the inside of a dumpster anyway.

53. 04:02
    

    Angel

    Here, quick, grab onto my wing.

54. 04:06
    

    Angel

    What stuck it do it, Elfie!

55. 04:08
    

    Mother

    Honey, what is this to the angel?

56. 04:12
    

    Father

    Looks like that elf that Timmy rode all over and picked the eye out. Oh, oh, he did that when he was one.

57. 04:18
    

    Mother

    You know what? Put her on the tree anyway, just for old time's sake. That's so sweet.

58. 04:22
    

    Father

    Come on, isn't that nice?

59. 04:26
    

    Mother

    Wow

60. 04:28
    

    Angel

    Good going, Albie!

61. 04:29
    

    Elfie

    Thanks, gang! Happy holidays, everyone!
