Speaker 1: do I get my jolly old belly down that chimney? Though?
Speaker 1: Not it's Chris go, that's the secret. It's true. I
Speaker 1: use banks and a whole lot of butter. Some of
Speaker 1: it's Christmas magic, some of it's just the things that
Speaker 1: you can find in your kitchen. And I have a
Speaker 1: quick question here though. I know they're really excited for
Speaker 1: you to be there, and they're gonna set out cookies.
Speaker 1: They don't have a chimney, and I'm sort of curious
Speaker 1: how they think you are going to get into, deliver
Speaker 1: presents and eat those cookies. That's a good question. How
Speaker 1: do you think I'm going to get inside? Is past? You? Can? You?
Speaker 1: You get in now? Listen, nobody's supposed to know about that. Okay,
Speaker 1: I watch the watch, but listen. If you tell anybody
Speaker 1: about that, they're gonna know my secret. If you could
Speaker 1: have one Christmas wish, maybe for the whole world, what
Speaker 1: would it be. I think it would be that everybody
Speaker 1: can get their presence um at Christmas night the water,
Speaker 1: make more treats, to spend time a friend and family,
Speaker 1: to share kindness to all the people are All I
Speaker 1: want for Christmas is for my friends to have the
Speaker 1: best Christmas that they can have in their lives. For
Speaker 1: Christmas morning, Christmas Day, every day, the lines for Christmas.
Speaker 1: That's all I can wish from my friends. You have
Speaker 1: such a sweetheart. That's what keeps you on the nice
Speaker 1: list year after year. Listen, we have to go, but
Speaker 1: I have had such a great time talking with you.
Speaker 1: You have a merry Christmas. Okay, you can you know
Speaker 1: all I want for Christmas is you. Oh, I love you,
