give thanks for the food before us
and the closeness
of the people we love,..
and we pray that these gifts
we so gratefully receive...
will be shared with those less
fortunate... than ourselves.
Amen.
Amen.
Alright. Let's eat.
I slaved all day.
You really outdid yourself.
You have a very nice name...
One of my elves is married to
a fellow called Daniel.
Do you know what you want for Christmas?
Yep. I want a Peter Pollywog...
Patrol frog that swims and blows up.
Gosh, that sounds great
Can mother have a word with Santa, please?
Yes, of course. Just a minute.
Don't make me look bad.
Them things cost 70 bucks.
He just looked at them.
I tell you what...
Shopper's Express have got them
on sale at $34.99
with a $5.00 rebate.
Now that's reasonable enough, isn't it?
Yeah. Thanks.
But let me ask you a question.
Since when is Cole's sending
customers someplace else?
I don't think it matters where the toys are sold
as long as it makes the children happy.
I'm sure the people here
believe the same as I do...
Yeah. Yeah, that's the spirit.
Thanks, Santa. Thank you.
- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.
Now then, young man,
if you're a very good boy...
and do exactly what your mummy tells you,
you're going to have
a Peter Pollywog for Christmas.
Ha ha ha ha ha.
Bye, Santa.
Bye-bye. Bye-bye, Daniel.
Merry Christmas.
Come on, then. Come on.
You the boss?
I'm general manager of the store.
My kid asked Santa for a Barf Gun.
The Santa said he'd get it for him.
They're by the elevator.
And they're 90 bucks
without batteries or Barf.
Prices do go up.
Apparently not at bargain village.
$52.50 and they throw in the batteries.
I find it hard to believe Cole's could be
undersold by that much.
Where did you get your information?
From your Santa Claus.
But if you go out of here,
turn to the right...
Excuse me?
Santa's telling everybody
where to shop.
If you don't got it, it's too expensive,
he's saying where to get it at the right price.
- You're serious?
- Absolutely.
Madam, will you excuse me for a moment?
Tell Santa he made me a Cole's shopper.
I'm coming here for everything
but toilet paper and bananas.
Any store that puts the parent ahead
of the buck at Christmas deserves my business.
And can tell Mr. Cole his Santa Claus
ought to get a raise.
You want me to go with you to the chairman
and pitch an idea
that you got from Santa Claus?
If Cole's doesn't have what you're looking for,
we'll find it for you,
even if it means sending you somewhere else.
How does that sound?
It sounds like a great way
to go out of business.
Know that house in the country
where we do the catalog shoot?
You wanted to buy it.
Yes.
If this works, we're probably
looking at a bonus.
And if he hates the idea?
We're no worse off.
If we don't turn this store around,
we're all out...
from the chairman to the Janitor.
Let's do it.
I... like it.
It's bold. It's fresh.
It will drive Victor Lamberg nuts.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
soon the bells will start
And the thing that will make them ring
is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart
it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Why?
Why didn't you think of this?
Now if this campaign is successful...
I know in my gut it will be...
Cole's will make lots of money.
The more money they make,
the harder it will be for me to buy them out.
Now I want  something done about this.
OK, go ahead.
This seems like a pretty pointless exercise, Bryan.
I thought as long as we were here,
might as well say hello to the old guy.
Why?
Let's just say for the sake of argument
that there is a Santa Claus
And that you don't believe in him.
Is it worth the risk that you might not
get anything for Christmas?
Well, I didn't believe in him last year.
I still got everything I asked my mother for.
Yeah...
You get a free candy cane?
I'm trying to limit my intake of sugar.
She
