[instrumental music]

I wanna hang
some decorations.

Smurfaroo, me too.

[Wild babbling]

(Brainy)
Well, well, well. If it isn't
wild, wild, Wild Smurf.

Don't just stand around
like a smurf on a log.

Start decorating.

Up there.

Up there?

[gibberish]

Hey, you're smurfing
the wrong way.

Geronimo!

Uh-oh.



Whoo!

[grunts]

Bouillabaisse!

Ze Santa snowman,
she is ruined!

[Baby crying]

Oh, I should never have let you
tamper with my tinsel.

[gibberish]

Are you here to help us
decorate for Christmas?

[gibberish]

[bell ringing]

(Brainy)
Forget it, Nat.

This is one Smurf who doesn't
know a bell from a bonnet.

[bell ringing]

Oh, Wild. Are you here
to help trim the tree?

[gibberish]

crash

Oh, my. That's not the kind
of trimming I meant.

(Vanity)
Papa Smurf, this savage smurf
has dismantled my decorations.

Not to mention my tinsel.

Easy, my little Smurfs.

You can't expect Wild to know
what to do at Christmas

because this is
Wild's first Christmas.

[gibberish]

[laughing]

Oh, Christmas is
so much fun, Wild.

There's singing, dancing, and
lots of presents. Right, Jokey?

Yeah, lots of big surprises.

[laughing]

[gibberish]

That's holiday ribbon, Wild.

It's for wrapping things.

Oh!

[blabbering]

(Brainy)
Hey!

[grunting]

I meant wrapping gifts,
not Smurfs.

Sorry.

[Brainy screaming]

(Greedy)
Christmas means lots
of smurfy decorations.

And some you can eat.

[eating noisily]

Like my smurfberry candy canes.

(Clumsy)
Gosh! Let me have some, Greedy.

Oops.

crash

[Smurfs cheering]

Nice job, Clumsy.

(Smurfette)
'So, you see, Wild.
Christmas is so Smurfy.'

It certainly is,
my little Smurfs.

There's a special spirit of
giving and sharing for everyone.

Not just Smurfs.

Gosh! Where are you going,
Papa Smurf?

To deliver this gift
to Enchanter Homnibus.

When I return, we can all
exchange gifts.

Why can't we do that now?

Because grandpa and Sassette
aren't back yet.

Smurfaroo!
Where did they go?

Grandpa decided to give Sassette
her present a little early.

[indistinct chatter]

[instrumental music]

(man)
Fresh fish! Cook a trout
for Christmas eve.

A necklace for your wife,
milord.

Buy your apples here.

Gray bug grunion, Grampy!

Thanks for showing me what

Christmas eve
is like for humans.

Smurfatoodie.
It was nothing.

Care for an apple?

Oh, I'm too excited
to eat, Grampy.

Just look at all these humans
and those smurfy toys.

Jumping jacks for sale.

Buy one for your children.

They make wonderful gifts.

Jumping jackrabbits, Grampy.
Can we take a closer look?

Ha ha ha ha. Alright, Sassette.

But be careful
these humans don't see us.

(thief)
Ha, ha. Christmas!
My favorite time of year.

When everyone's purse
is full of gold.

'Ah-ha! There's a fat
Christmas goose'

'just waiting to be plucked.'

Time to make my move.

Huh! Smurfatoodie!
That was close.

Sneaky sandworms, Grampy, look.

'Why is that human taking
the other one's bag?'

I'm afraid not
every human is as smurfy

as they should be, Sassette.

My money! It's gone!

Flying foxes! That sneaky human
is getting away.

Mmm! It's a long shot, Sassette.

whoosh

Yow!

[coins clinking]

My money! Stop!

Thief!

[crowd clamoring]

Grampy, you did it.

Smurfaroony, nothin' to it.

But I wasted
a pretty tasty apple.

Oh, alas!
No one seems interested

my little jack.

'And we are need at home.'

Sir, please wait.

I...I've been admiring
your toys.

Don't be shy, boy, come closer.

So you really like
my funny little puppets?

Oh, yes, sir.

Oh, yes.

I'm sure you give Jack
a good home.

Ha ha. Merry Christmas.

For me?

(father)
'Hans!'

Keep away from there.

But...but father!

How many times
have I told you

these poor people
are not our kind.

They live in those hovels
across the river.

'You live in a fine home.'

So keep away from them.

Really, Willum.
Must you be so.

(father)
'And what is this?'

The nice man gave it to--

Hans, I will buy you
fancier toys than this.

Now, get in the carriage.

[horse neighing]

But, Grampy.
I don't understand?

I know, Sassette.

Sometimes, the way humans
behave toward each other

even puzzles me.

Leaving so soon, Gustav?

Alas! My wife is not well,
and I must not miss the doctor.

Sad-eyed sparrows, Grampy!

Why does that nice old man
look so unhappy?

I'm not sure, Sassette, but--

Well, let's go find out.

[instrumental music]

(doctor)
I've done all I can, Gustav,
but her spirit is very weak.

Is there nothing
I can do, doctor?

(doctor)
'Perhaps the Christmas holiday
will brighten her mood.'

Otherwise, I'm afraid..

Thank you for coming, doctor.

(Gustav)'Und merry Christmas.'

Here, Elise.
I made this for you.

'Merry Christmas.'

A jumping Jill.

Oh, it's beautiful, Gustav.

It reminds me
of Christmas long ago.

Children's laughter.
People singing.

'I hung a Christmas star
on the tree.'

(Gustav)
'And we made
Christmas wishes on it?'

They don't come true anymore.

They can, Elise. Rember those
stories about Christmas elves.

It's going to take
more than fairy tales

to make this a merry Christmas.

Let me rest now, Gustav.

Oh! If only I could make
a Christmas eve

bright enough to cheer her up.

'To bring that rosy glow
back to her cheeks.'

Helpless hounddogs, Grampy.

Isn't there something
we can do

to make their
Christmas eve smurfier?

Smurfatoodie!
Maybe we can.

Come on, Sassette.

I thought
I heard something, Elise.

Huh, like Christmas elves?

[wind gusting]

Ah, no. Just my old eyes
playing tricks on me.

[excited chatter]

[peppy music]

Oh, Wild. You're standing
underneath a mistletoe.

Muah.

[blabbering]

Happy homing pigeons, Grampy,
we're back!

If we're gonna give those humans
a smurfy Christmas

we'll need some help.

I'll go get the Smurflings.

Silent songbirds, hold it, guys.

There's a sick old woman
who really needs our--

Can't you see we're practicing.

Yeah, you big hickory nut.

We want our Christmas song
to sound smurfsational.

[slurps]

[clears throat]

Greedy! There are two
lonely old humans

who could use some help.

Phew! I'm a little
short-handed myself.

Love to chat, Grandpa.
Maybe after dinner.

There's Smurfette.
She'll help.

Smurfette!
You've got to listen.

This poor old woman
is really sick and--

Oh! I'm so sorry, Sassette.

Smurfaroo!
I knew you'd understand.

'Yes, I'm so sorry.
I can't talk now.'

I-I just have to finish
hanging these Christmas wreaths.

Oh! Hectic hummingbirds, Grampy!

Every Smurf's too busy
to listen.

Gloomy glowworms, Grampy.

No Smurf heard a word we said.

[howling]

[gibberish]

Well, almost no smurf.

Yes, the others seem
a might busy

with their own Christmas chores.

And by the time
they have time to listen

Christmas eve will be over.

And that poor
old woman might be..

Smurfaroony!

Then I reckon it's time
to take matters

into our own hands, Sassette.

I hope those humans like the
gifts we picked out for them.

'I'm sure they will, Sassette.'

But it's gonna be a might
difficult carrying them.

(Wild)
'Smurfs! Smurfs!'

[gibberish]

Smurfaloo! Looks like Wild
is one step

or should I say sled,
ahead of us.

Scamperin' squirrels,
let's get smurfin'.

Oh! You're back
just in time, Papa Smurf.

Christmas eve dinner is ready.

[licks lips]

[gulps]

And it tastes just smurfy.

Oh, Papa Smurf!
Now, can we exchange presents?

I don't see why not, Brainy.

Here's one
from Enchanter Homnibus

for Grandpa Smurf.

Uh, by the way

where is Grandpa Smurf
and Sassette?

Aren't they back
from town yet?

[eating noisily]

Oh, they're back alright.

They keep talking about some
old humans that need our help.

[gulps]

I was too busy to listen.

Oh, they've gone off to the
human village with Wild Smurf.

Huh! Can you imagine,
Papa Smurf

leaving a perfectly smurfing
Christmas eve party

to go see some old humans.

Yes, I can imagine it, Brainy.

Especially when they are sick,
needy people

who can't help themselves.

But it looks like all of you

were so wrapped up
in your own holiday

you ignored the problems
of those less fortunate.

Oh, Papa Smurf,
I feel terrible.

Couldn't we help
Grandpa Smurf and Sassette too.

Well..

We could give those humans

some of our decorations
for their tree.

But Sassette said,
they don't even have one.

We could share ours.
Give me a hand, Hefty.

That's the Christmas spirit,
my little Smurfs.

Oh, but how will
we get everything

to the old couple's house.

[Puppy barking]

Hop on, Smurfette.

This is absosmurfly ridiculous.

I mean, it's.. Hey!

[Brainy panting]

Wait for..

...me!

See, Brainy,
no one wants to spend

'Christmas eve all alone.'

[Sassette shivering]

Grampy, are we going
to make it?

I don't know, Sassette.
I don't know.

(Brainy)
Please, Papa Smurf, turn around.

We'll never get to those humans.

We keep going until we find
Grandpa and the others.

[bell ringing]

Smurfy idea, Baby.

[bell ringing]

Grampy, I think I hear Santy.

[Puppy barking]

Not unless he's got
barking reindeer.

thud

Pappy Smurf.

Thought you might need a little
company this Christmas eve.

Yes, Papa Smurf and I decided
to bring a little holiday spirit

to those needy humans.

[kisses]

Yuck!

That's enough holiday spirit
out of you.

Yah, Puppy! Ya!

Smurf it all you've got.

(Elise)
'Put out the fire
and come to bed, Gustav.'

Christmas eve is over.

Yeah, Elise.
And tomorrow you'll be stronger.

I...I hope.

[instrumental music]

Ah! What a fine Christmas eve
night for purse-snatching.

[cackles]

Rich folks hurrying home
with presents

too busy to guard their gold.

[Wild speaking gibberish]

Yes, Wild.
It's a human town.

And we have to smurf
right through it

to get where we're going.

We better stick to the alleys
to avoid being seen.

These gifts will surprise Hans.

Brr! I think I'll take
this shortcut home.

[dramatic music]

My gold! Stop, thief!

'Thief!'

Hang on, every Smurf.

Ah!

bam

Tumblin' termites,
that was close, Grampy.

Help! Help!

Get the sheriff!

Oh! I knew we never
should have left the village.

Brainy! There he goes.

(Brainy)
'Papa Smurf?'

(Hefty)
'No! The thief.'

Come on, we can catch him.

Catch him. But we've gotta
catch up with the sled.

That sneaky thief went this way.

Oh, I should be home
opening presents

not chasing some unsmurfy human
through a dark..

[screaming]

[growling]

Hefty! Help!

[growling]

Hang on, Brainy,
I'm coming.

(Hefty)
'Jump, Brainy.'

Whoa!

Smurf for your life!

bam

(Sassette)
'Weary warblers, we're too late,
Pappy Smurf.'

'They've gone to bed.'

Then we will just leave
a little surprise for them

on Christmas morning.

[instrumental music]

Smurf!

[gibberish]

Yes, Wild. You sure know
how to string tinsel.

Mwah

'Mistletoe.'

(Hefty)
'There he goes.'

Soon, I'll be home free.

[coins clinking]

We got him cornered now, Brainy.

Come on!

Beautiful job, my little Smurfs.

Now, let's hurry home
before anyone catches us.

Gosh! Isn't that
smurf scene grandy..

Oops!

[crashing]

[glass shatters]

(Gustav)
'Elise! What was that?'

(Elise)
'Just the wind.'

Ah! Elves.

'Elise! Elves!'

Gustav, you're dreaming.

Believe me.

Oh! Elves!

[laughing]
We're not elves.
We're Smu--

Well, I guess you could call
us elves.

Yes. Christmas elves.

A Christmas star!

- You did this for us.
- For you.

To make you well again.

I-I can't believe it.

Oh, you must believe.

[cackling]

Well, Mr. Tough Smurf,
what do you suggest we do now?

I'll think of something.

Hey! That's Grandpa Smu--

Who's there?

Nice work, Brainy.

[barrel rattling]

Who's there?
Show yourself.

What kind of evil spirit
are you?

Spirit? Uh. Uh, I'm
the Christmas spirit.

You're the one who's evil.

Evil? I'm just a thief.

Hah! You call that good.

There are two of you.

Christmas spirit
always come in pairs.

'But why are you bothering me?'

(Brainy)
'Because you don't have
any Christmas spirit.'

'You're supposed to be

Why should I share?
Nobody ever gave me anything.

Maybe you never gave
anybody the chance.

The tracks lead this way.

My purse. The thief must be
in here celebrating.

You've given us so much,
but we have nothing to give you.

Except this.

Please, take it.

Speechless sparrows!

It's-it's beautiful.

[knocking on door]

Now, who could that be at this..

Why, sheriff!

Just look at those
decorations, sheriff.

He could never afford them
without stealing.

He didn't steal anything.

The elves decorated our hut.

[coughing]

Elise, you should be back
in bed.

Oh, Grampy,
this is terrible.

Poor Elise is getting upset.

Yeah, Sassette. All the good
we've done is being undone.

Elves! Arrest this
old thief, sheriff.

I'm afraid you'll have
to come with us.

And I'm afraid
we'll have to show ourselves

to save our human friends.

He didn't steal your gold.

I snatched your purse
in the alley.

(sheriff)
'But why are you confessing?'

I'm gonna start giving
instead of taking.

Thanks to Christmas spirit.

Well, what do you know, Brainy?

He listened to what
we were saying.

Huh, if everyone listened
to the brilliant words

of Brainy Smurf, the world
would be a smurfier place.

Hey!

Missing mackerels,
where have you two been?

Just spreading a little of your
Christmas spirit, Sassette.

Here, let me help you
back into bed.

But what about him?
Are you pressing charges?

No. I've gotten my gold back.

And after all,
it is Christmas eve.

Your house looks so lovely.

Thanks to those elves.

Oh! You must meet them.

They're hiding under my bed.

Oh! They're gone.

Oh, Grandpa,
Elise sounds much better.

Smurfatoodies, I have a feeling
she'll be alright now.

[indistinct chatter]

[chuckles]

Looks like Wild Smurf
will never forget

his first Christmas.

And I haven't forgotten
all of you.

I just happen to have a few
dozen Yuletide Quotations left.

(all)
Oh!

(Brainy)
Alright. Alright.
Maybe next Christmas.
