Halloween Evening Party 2024

[00:00:02] This is a Bramble Jam Podcast

[00:00:05] Here with my scary friend, Scott!

[00:00:48] I've got to admit, I'm way out of my comfort zone here

[00:00:51] I'm used to being a Christmas podcaster, not a Halloween one

[00:00:54] But I'm excited!

[00:00:56] Happy spooky season, happy scary day

[00:00:59] I'm excited too

[00:01:00] And this is a bop, I think we can all agree

[00:01:03] Oh, this is a great song

[00:01:04] It doesn't compare at all, though, to our new Christmas morning theme song

[00:01:09] That we're going to be debuting tomorrow, I believe, Scotty

[00:01:11] That's right

[00:01:12] But this is a close second

[00:01:13] Yeah, do you think I'll ever, the song, I maybe should have faded it out?

[00:01:18] Maybe I'll do that right now, I don't know

[00:01:20] But I like it

[00:01:21] So Bram, we tried to get Shannon today

[00:01:23] Shannon's in prison, we couldn't get her

[00:01:25] I know

[00:01:25] But we got her scary friend, Helga Broomfield

[00:01:29] Helga, are you there?

[00:01:35] Helga, hi!

[00:01:37] Hello!

[00:01:38] Happy Halloween, Helga!

[00:01:40] Hello!

[00:01:41] Happy Halloween!

[00:01:42] How are you two?

[00:01:45] This is a big day for you

[00:01:46] I'm honest, I can't believe that you joined us on Halloween

[00:01:50] Okay, that last one felt forced, Helga

[00:01:53] That last laugh felt a little forced

[00:01:56] I have a few jokes for you boys, would you like to hear one?

[00:02:00] Oh wow, I didn't know this was happening, this is fantastic

[00:02:03] Okay, yeah, great, Helga, what do you got?

[00:02:05] Why did the witch stay in the hotel?

[00:02:08] I don't know

[00:02:09] I don't know either

[00:02:14] She heard it had great broom service

[00:02:19] What's the Halloween equivalent to

[00:02:21] Waka waka?

[00:02:23] I think it still deserves it

[00:02:24] Waka waka

[00:02:26] There it is

[00:02:27] One more for you boys

[00:02:29] Okay, alright

[00:02:30] As if the first one wasn't good enough

[00:02:32] No

[00:02:34] Why don't skeletons skydive?

[00:02:37] He he he he

[00:02:38] They're too scared?

[00:02:40] They don't have the guts

[00:02:44] Waka waka

[00:02:45] I gotta be honest

[00:02:46] Helga's better than you are at this, Scotty

[00:02:49] You know what it is?

[00:02:50] It's the subject matter

[00:02:51] It is

[00:02:51] Halloween is a much easier subject to write jokes for

[00:02:54] Well yeah, and also this is an untapped field

[00:02:56] I think we've fully tapped into the Christmas jokes

[00:02:59] And we're out at this point

[00:03:00] Yeah, we are the official compendium of Christmas jokes at this point

[00:03:03] But Halloween, blue sky

[00:03:05] The OG Christmas jokes

[00:03:06] We were originally doing them

[00:03:07] Oh, they were the best

[00:03:08] Laugh out loud

[00:03:09] Laugh out loud

[00:03:10] Well, if you don't like the jokes

[00:03:12] Feel free to boo

[00:03:15] She's good

[00:03:16] She's good

[00:03:17] I feel like someone's gunning for my job here

[00:03:19] I don't like this

[00:03:20] Yeah, man

[00:03:20] I do

[00:03:21] It's great

[00:03:22] Helga out

[00:03:23] Helga out

[00:03:24] Helga

[00:03:25] I think we're gonna have you all episode, Helga

[00:03:26] I'll be here

[00:03:28] Just listening

[00:03:29] Do you just say Helga out anytime you're done talking?

[00:03:32] Maybe

[00:03:33] It's like instead of some people put a period at the end of the sentence

[00:03:36] You put a Helga out

[00:03:38] Hey, do you know what the best lake to visit is on Halloween?

[00:03:42] I hope you tell me

[00:03:43] Lake Erie

[00:03:44] Oh!

[00:03:46] Waka waka out

[00:03:49] Nice

[00:03:49] Brain, we're gonna do today like we do a typical Christmas morning party episode

[00:03:54] We've got a ton of content from the listeners

[00:03:57] Which is exactly what we wanted

[00:03:59] We wanna hear how y'all celebrate Halloween

[00:04:01] What you do

[00:04:03] How you party

[00:04:04] How you dress up

[00:04:05] How you decorate your house

[00:04:06] Maybe something about candy

[00:04:08] But why don't we start with dressing up for Halloween?

[00:04:12] I love it

[00:04:12] Let's do it

[00:04:13] Alright, I've got an email from Andrea Zellner

[00:04:15] Andrea says

[00:04:16] I am so excited for the upcoming Halloween content

[00:04:19] It made me remember the year I dressed up as Santa for Halloween in the second grade

[00:04:24] This was the early 80s

[00:04:25] So the Nightmare Before Christmas movie was just a twinkle in Tim Burton's eye

[00:04:29] I remember feeling so excited that probably no one else would think of Christmas on Halloween

[00:04:34] My seven-year-old self was so proud to unveil the costume

[00:04:38] All night, as I made my way trick-or-treating around the neighborhood

[00:04:41] Adults would start laughing, invite me in, and show their spouses or gathered friends

[00:04:46] People told me what they wanted for Christmas and I was absolutely shocked

[00:04:50] I was a bit of a shy kid

[00:04:52] So I imagine I just stared at them

[00:04:54] Probably repeating ho-ho-ho a lot

[00:04:56] I've attached a picture of me in the costume my mom made me

[00:04:59] The cotton ball beard is the highlight for me

[00:05:02] Thank you for prompting the memory

[00:05:04] Well, thank you for sending that in, Andrea

[00:05:05] That was really fun

[00:05:06] That was very fun

[00:05:08] And I really

[00:05:08] She's a real author here

[00:05:11] The Nightmare Before Christmas was just a twinkle in Tim Burton's eye

[00:05:14] That's right

[00:05:15] It was wonderful

[00:05:15] Well written

[00:05:17] Well written for sure

[00:05:17] Helga, what did you think about that one?

[00:05:19] It was nice

[00:05:20] I liked that beard

[00:05:23] Thank you, Helga

[00:05:24] Wow, this thing's just going to keep going, isn't it?

[00:05:27] I've got an email from Drew Basic

[00:05:28] Drew says

[00:05:29] I know you were talking about doing some Halloween episodes

[00:05:31] So I thought I would send in a picture

[00:05:33] That is Halloween and Christmas adjacent

[00:05:36] This is me and my wife as Harry and Marv from Home Alone

[00:05:40] I gotta admit, Bran, looking sharp here

[00:05:42] Yeah, 100%

[00:05:43] This is wonderful

[00:05:45] I haven't really dressed up in quite some time

[00:05:51] You know, I think a lot of people might think that I'm the type of adult that dresses up

[00:05:55] But I don't do a lot of dressing up

[00:05:57] I'll occasionally like wear something now that I have kids

[00:05:59] And I'll put a little something on

[00:06:01] But I know that there are adult couples that are big into like a tag team costume

[00:06:08] And they go to Christmas parties and whatnot

[00:06:10] That was never my scene

[00:06:11] But I love seeing tag team costumes

[00:06:15] And this is wonderful

[00:06:16] The iron press on the face is a really nice touch

[00:06:20] Yes, for Mrs. Basic here

[00:06:23] That's right

[00:06:23] It was very, very good

[00:06:24] Thank you for sending that in

[00:06:25] I'll put that on our Instagram

[00:06:26] Do you know what I dressed up as for Halloween last year?

[00:06:30] I would assume a witch, but

[00:06:32] A human

[00:06:38] You're funny, Helga

[00:06:39] Oh boy

[00:06:40] Thank you

[00:06:41] What do you think about Christmas, Helga?

[00:06:43] Oh, it's a delight

[00:06:45] But not enough witches or bats

[00:06:49] That's always been my complaint too

[00:06:50] Not enough witches or bats at Christmas time

[00:06:53] It's crazy

[00:06:54] Yeah, but the good news is

[00:06:55] You can get them on clearance right before Christmas

[00:06:57] So you really could put them up

[00:06:59] You've got no excuse

[00:07:00] I have plenty of bats in my home

[00:07:02] Well, not all of us do though, Helga

[00:07:04] Well, maybe you should

[00:07:06] Okay

[00:07:07] Got them

[00:07:08] Let's talk about pumpkins and parties, Brandon

[00:07:11] Please, I love both of those things

[00:07:12] I've got an email from Mary Pulte

[00:07:14] Mary says

[00:07:15] I did the old Google search

[00:07:17] For things to do with pumpkins after the holiday season

[00:07:20] And here is what I found regarding animals and pumpkins

[00:07:24] Pumpkin can be a healthy treat for many pets

[00:07:26] Including cats, dogs, gerbils, rats, mice, and hamsters

[00:07:30] For dogs, pumpkin is a good source of fiber

[00:07:33] Which can help with upset stomachs

[00:07:34] A medium-sized dog can have four to five tablespoons of pumpkin

[00:07:38] A couple times a week

[00:07:39] For cats, pumpkin can help with a cat's digestive system

[00:07:43] But too much can cause diarrhea

[00:07:45] Well, we're just going to stop right there

[00:07:46] I'm not feeding that to my cat

[00:07:48] Fresh pumpkin can be cut into chunks and steamed

[00:07:51] Listen, if I get to the point where I'm steaming something for my cat

[00:07:54] I think I've entered a different stage of my life

[00:07:57] That's right

[00:07:58] For small pets, gerbils, rice

[00:08:00] Rice

[00:08:01] Gerbils, rats, mice, and hamsters

[00:08:04] Who has a rat as a pet?

[00:08:05] I do

[00:08:06] Yeah

[00:08:07] That was a bad

[00:08:08] You picked a bad day to ask that question, Scotty

[00:08:11] That's on you

[00:08:11] Pretty dumb of me

[00:08:12] That's right

[00:08:12] Read the room, Scotty

[00:08:13] His name is

[00:08:15] Oh my gosh

[00:08:17] His name is Fido

[00:08:18] Oh my gosh

[00:08:20] Aw, that's cute

[00:08:21] So, those small pets can eat pumpkin and seeds in moderation

[00:08:24] For livestock, pumpkins can be fed to pigs, sheep, geese, ducks, goats, and chickens

[00:08:29] You can break or smash the pumpkins open and leave them in the enclosure

[00:08:32] However, feeding a large amount of new food to an animal can cause digestive issues

[00:08:37] You don't really want your llama to be exploding

[00:08:40] You sure don't

[00:08:41] Fool me once

[00:08:42] And for birds, birds will eat the flesh and seeds of pumpkins

[00:08:46] However, you should not feed pumpkins to wildlife

[00:08:49] Pumpkins can attract wildlife such as squirrels, raccoons, deer, moose, foxes, mice, and insects

[00:08:55] Leaving pumpkins in your yard or a park can be harmful to wildlife and to waterways

[00:09:00] So don't do that

[00:09:01] Don't do that

[00:09:02] Helga, I heard you speak up

[00:09:04] What would you like to say?

[00:09:05] Yes, I want to know

[00:09:06] What does a queasy pumpkin say?

[00:09:09] Speaking of digestive issues

[00:09:11] Oh man

[00:09:13] Um, I don't know

[00:09:15] I don't feel so good

[00:09:22] Oh, Helga's awesome!

[00:09:24] We're ten minutes in and I've completely lost control of the show

[00:09:27] This is the best episode we've ever done

[00:09:29] One more, Scotty

[00:09:31] Have at it, go for it

[00:09:32] One more

[00:09:33] I guess so, why not?

[00:09:34] Let's see

[00:09:35] Scotty loves them

[00:09:35] What did the orange

[00:09:37] No, no, no, that one's not so good

[00:09:38] Let me try a different one

[00:09:41] Why do pumpkins sit on people's porches?

[00:09:44] Oh, I don't know

[00:09:45] They don't have hands to knock on the door

[00:09:48] Alright, not your best work

[00:09:49] It's not your best work, Helga

[00:09:52] We'll do better next time

[00:09:54] The audacity of Helga to say

[00:09:56] Let me give you one more

[00:09:57] And then not have one more to give

[00:10:01] Okay, here's a better one

[00:10:02] I hope so

[00:10:03] What do you call a

[00:10:05] No, actually

[00:10:06] Let's just move on

[00:10:08] I've got an email from Jessica Trinidad

[00:10:10] Oh, oh, oh

[00:10:11] Where do pumpkins live?

[00:10:13] Where?

[00:10:14] In the seedy part of town

[00:10:19] We're having fun today

[00:10:21] Okay, that one's actually pretty good

[00:10:22] We're having fun

[00:10:23] It took a while, Helga

[00:10:25] But you got there

[00:10:26] I finally got it

[00:10:27] I've got an email from Jessica Trinidad

[00:10:29] Jessica sent us an audio clip

[00:10:31] About her sister's over-the-top Halloween parties

[00:10:35] Ooh, please

[00:10:36] Hello, morning people

[00:10:38] Happy spooky season

[00:10:41] This is Jessica Trinidad

[00:10:42] I love Halloween

[00:10:43] It's so much fun

[00:10:44] My home is all decked out

[00:10:46] In spooky cuteness

[00:10:47] And my kids and I

[00:10:49] Have got our costumes together already

[00:10:51] Because that's how we roll

[00:10:52] I want to talk to you guys

[00:10:53] About my sister Wendy's

[00:10:55] Amazing Halloween party

[00:10:56] She decided about 20 years ago

[00:10:57] She wanted to create

[00:10:58] A fun for all ages

[00:10:59] Big blast

[00:11:01] And she has done it

[00:11:04] It's amazing

[00:11:05] She has all of us

[00:11:06] Being her sisters and close friends

[00:11:08] Help her throughout the entire year

[00:11:11] To prepare for this party

[00:11:12] Planning starts the day after

[00:11:14] The previous year's party

[00:11:15] Taking notes on what worked

[00:11:16] And what didn't work

[00:11:16] And then she's reaching out

[00:11:18] Taking notes, etc.

[00:11:19] Throughout the entire year

[00:11:21] Wendy starts decorating

[00:11:22] On Labor Day weekend

[00:11:24] To put together the most amazing

[00:11:28] Visuals you can think of

[00:11:29] And then I help a great deal

[00:11:32] With the cooking

[00:11:32] So I start up

[00:11:34] A couple days before the party

[00:11:35] I head over there

[00:11:36] And cook, cook, cook

[00:11:37] For pretty much

[00:11:38] Non-stop to the start of the party

[00:11:41] Party itself

[00:11:41] Amazing

[00:11:42] Awesome pictures

[00:11:43] I hope you guys take a look

[00:11:46] There is fun stuff for everybody

[00:11:48] There's bounce house

[00:11:49] For little guys

[00:11:49] And there's fun games

[00:11:51] For college kids

[00:11:53] There's a margarita machine

[00:11:54] For the adults

[00:11:56] And one really fun

[00:11:58] Sweet thing that happened this year

[00:11:59] Was we used to do this

[00:12:01] Treasure hunt for little kids

[00:12:02] And then it kind of went on

[00:12:03] A hiatus for a while

[00:12:04] We decided to bring it back

[00:12:05] This year

[00:12:05] But Wendy decided

[00:12:06] To bring it back this year

[00:12:07] And we saw that there were

[00:12:09] A bunch of college kids

[00:12:10] Running around

[00:12:10] Doing the treasure hunt

[00:12:11] We're like

[00:12:11] Oh boy

[00:12:12] Here we go

[00:12:12] What's going on here

[00:12:13] And they ran up to us

[00:12:15] And they said

[00:12:15] We remember doing this

[00:12:17] And we were little kids

[00:12:18] And we were so excited

[00:12:18] You brought it back

[00:12:19] And that was just really

[00:12:20] Exciting and touching

[00:12:21] To see these long standing

[00:12:24] Memories for so many people

[00:12:25] This party hosts a good

[00:12:27] Over 100 people every year

[00:12:29] And if you're ever in the area

[00:12:30] At Halloween time

[00:12:31] You are absolutely invited

[00:12:32] Come have fun with us

[00:12:34] Bye

[00:12:35] Happy Halloween

[00:12:37] Jessica also included photos

[00:12:39] Brian

[00:12:40] Oh my god

[00:12:41] Look at these photos

[00:12:42] Look at the Q-tip thing

[00:12:44] This is the most disgusting

[00:12:46] Party food I've ever seen

[00:12:48] In my life

[00:12:49] It's like caramels

[00:12:50] Stuck on the end of sticks

[00:12:52] That look like dirty Q-tips

[00:12:53] They're tiny little marshmallows

[00:12:56] Oh is that what they are?

[00:12:57] With caramel on it

[00:12:57] Oh that's so funny

[00:12:59] It's so disgusting

[00:13:01] But good

[00:13:01] Really really good

[00:13:02] It looks like after I

[00:13:04] Clean Fido's ears

[00:13:05] Oh my god

[00:13:06] Yes it does

[00:13:07] I can't confirm

[00:13:08] This party looks awesome

[00:13:10] I love the bar

[00:13:12] That they have set up

[00:13:13] All the treats look wonderful

[00:13:15] This is great

[00:13:16] Yeah all the cooking

[00:13:17] Jessica does

[00:13:17] You need to invite us

[00:13:19] Next year Jessica

[00:13:19] This looks like a lot of fun

[00:13:20] Well she said anyone can come

[00:13:21] We just have to show up

[00:13:23] You know I don't like

[00:13:24] Doing that though

[00:13:25] Where is the

[00:13:26] Witches brew?

[00:13:27] I wonder if there is

[00:13:29] Witches brew

[00:13:30] I'm sure they have it somewhere

[00:13:31] Or bring your own

[00:13:32] You should always probably

[00:13:33] Bring your own

[00:13:34] Just in case

[00:13:34] B-Y-O-B

[00:13:36] Brew

[00:13:36] Brew

[00:13:37] Yeah B-Y-O-B

[00:13:38] Yes

[00:13:39] Let's talk about

[00:13:39] Halloween decorating brand

[00:13:41] Oh I was hoping that we would

[00:13:43] Well I knew this was going to be

[00:13:44] A big part of it

[00:13:45] Because people like to go

[00:13:47] All out

[00:13:47] You and I like to decorate

[00:13:49] Our houses for Christmas

[00:13:50] I don't think I've ever decorated

[00:13:52] For Halloween

[00:13:52] Have you?

[00:13:53] Um no the most I've done

[00:13:55] Is like pumpkins

[00:13:56] Yeah

[00:13:56] Although my kids this year

[00:13:59] Were really

[00:13:59] I got a neighbor

[00:14:02] Across the street

[00:14:03] In one house down

[00:14:04] That really did it up this year

[00:14:06] And my kids were quite taken by it

[00:14:07] So I could see

[00:14:09] Us maybe doing something

[00:14:11] Like that next year

[00:14:13] Because they were really into it

[00:14:14] Well I think whatever you do

[00:14:16] Is going to pale in comparison

[00:14:17] To what Kristen Lowe does

[00:14:19] Okay

[00:14:19] Kristen says

[00:14:20] We do Halloween

[00:14:21] Big in our house

[00:14:23] We're the house

[00:14:25] With the big Home Depot skeleton

[00:14:26] But we also have a homemade

[00:14:27] Jack Skellington

[00:14:28] Who's just as tall

[00:14:30] We change up our display

[00:14:31] Every year

[00:14:32] And rely heavily

[00:14:33] On what I call

[00:14:34] Hellfire lights

[00:14:35] They're red and orange

[00:14:37] Spotlights that shift

[00:14:38] And look like the glow

[00:14:39] Of a fire

[00:14:39] Whoa

[00:14:40] Everything is easy to see

[00:14:41] And a little uneasy

[00:14:43] With them around

[00:14:44] We make or upcycle

[00:14:46] Most of our decorations

[00:14:47] Wow

[00:14:48] Last year we made

[00:14:49] The creepy guys in cloaks

[00:14:50] They were actually really easy

[00:14:52] But took way more spray paint

[00:14:53] Than I initially expected

[00:14:54] That's always the case

[00:14:55] I've painted tons of signs

[00:14:57] And headstones for the yard as well

[00:14:59] The pallet coffin

[00:15:00] Is great for creepy lights

[00:15:01] And fog

[00:15:02] Our home is in the suburbs

[00:15:04] But on the edge

[00:15:05] Of a rural area

[00:15:06] And we're down the street

[00:15:07] From a Civil War battlefield

[00:15:09] Oh jeez

[00:15:10] No I have never seen a ghost

[00:15:12] Two years ago

[00:15:13] My husband was outside

[00:15:14] Handing out candy

[00:15:15] And I was inside

[00:15:16] Keeping the dogs quiet

[00:15:17] When he asked me to come out

[00:15:18] Two people actually

[00:15:20] Rode their horses

[00:15:21] Up to our display

[00:15:22] Our favorite Halloween stories

[00:15:23] Are our parents

[00:15:25] Bundling us up

[00:15:26] In way too many clothes

[00:15:27] And then sweating off

[00:15:28] Our costume makeup

[00:15:29] Wasn't that always the way

[00:15:30] Brand new

[00:15:31] Parents always made you

[00:15:32] Put on a coat

[00:15:32] Over your costume

[00:15:34] And you're like

[00:15:34] Ah you're ruining my look

[00:15:35] It's messing up the vibe

[00:15:38] I know

[00:15:39] I got no riz

[00:15:40] And she finishes email

[00:15:41] By saying

[00:15:42] Oh when I was in kindergarten

[00:15:43] Or first grade

[00:15:44] All the big kids

[00:15:45] In my neighborhood

[00:15:45] Had a haunted house

[00:15:47] I really didn't want to go

[00:15:48] Because I was too scared

[00:15:49] I decided to suck it up

[00:15:51] Because my first crush

[00:15:52] In kindergarten

[00:15:53] Wow

[00:15:54] With whom I was madly in love

[00:15:55] Was one of the big kids

[00:15:56] Luckily

[00:15:57] He was in the doorway

[00:15:59] Because when I walked in

[00:16:00] I got scared to death

[00:16:01] By Jason Mraz

[00:16:03] Yep

[00:16:04] That one

[00:16:05] And left crying

[00:16:06] He's very scary

[00:16:07] Wait hold on

[00:16:08] Jason Mraz

[00:16:09] Came to her haunted house

[00:16:11] Or the kid was dressed up

[00:16:12] Like Jason Mraz

[00:16:13] I take this to read

[00:16:15] That Jason Mraz

[00:16:16] Was there

[00:16:16] That's how I read it too

[00:16:18] But she gets

[00:16:18] Like he lived there

[00:16:20] It just happened to be

[00:16:21] From the same town

[00:16:21] Is what I'm taking this at

[00:16:23] I might be reading it wrong

[00:16:24] Let's go with that though

[00:16:25] I have since forgiven him

[00:16:27] But I adore

[00:16:28] That I can see

[00:16:29] My elementary school crush

[00:16:30] In concert

[00:16:31] At the Grammys

[00:16:31] And on Broadway

[00:16:32] Okay so

[00:16:33] Is Kristen saying

[00:16:34] That she went to

[00:16:35] Elementary school

[00:16:36] With Jason Mraz

[00:16:37] It sounds like it

[00:16:39] That's what I'm

[00:16:40] Taking it to me

[00:16:40] Yes

[00:16:41] Thank you Helga

[00:16:42] Helga what are your

[00:16:43] Thoughts on Jason Mraz

[00:16:44] He doesn't seem like

[00:16:45] It would be your

[00:16:45] Type of music

[00:16:46] He scats a lot

[00:16:48] He does scat

[00:16:49] A little too much

[00:16:50] If you ask me

[00:16:50] But

[00:16:51] Too much scatting

[00:16:54] Too much scatting

[00:16:55] I think we would all agree

[00:16:56] Maybe even

[00:16:56] I don't know

[00:16:57] Maybe Kristen doesn't agree

[00:16:58] But Jason Mraz

[00:16:59] How about that

[00:17:00] How about these pictures

[00:17:01] Though Brian

[00:17:02] These are incredible

[00:17:03] I am blown away

[00:17:05] At these decorations

[00:17:07] And to think

[00:17:08] These decorations

[00:17:09] In another life

[00:17:10] Could have been put up

[00:17:10] By Jason Mraz

[00:17:12] Let go of the

[00:17:12] Jason Mraz part

[00:17:13] It's not the star

[00:17:14] Of this show

[00:17:16] Impossible for me

[00:17:17] To let it go

[00:17:18] I think what's crazy

[00:17:19] About this is

[00:17:20] I love this

[00:17:22] And I would love

[00:17:23] If the opportunity

[00:17:24] Strikes for her

[00:17:25] I know she says

[00:17:26] She makes a lot

[00:17:26] Of these decorations

[00:17:28] I'd love for her

[00:17:29] To hand me

[00:17:30] Like a box of them

[00:17:30] And just say

[00:17:31] I'm yours

[00:17:34] I don't know

[00:17:34] It wasn't the best

[00:17:35] I didn't quite know

[00:17:36] How to get there

[00:17:37] But I'll take it

[00:17:38] Thank you

[00:17:38] Helga liked it

[00:17:39] Yeah

[00:17:39] I'll put these photos

[00:17:40] On our Instagram

[00:17:41] This looks like

[00:17:42] My house

[00:17:43] On a normal day

[00:17:44] Before I've cleaned

[00:17:45] But then when I put up

[00:17:46] All the decorations

[00:17:47] There are a lot more

[00:17:49] Cobwebs

[00:17:50] Yeah

[00:17:50] Yeah

[00:17:51] You don't ever clean

[00:17:52] Though

[00:17:53] Be honest

[00:17:53] No

[00:17:54] I was just joking

[00:17:56] I know you were

[00:17:57] Not a very good joke

[00:17:58] But

[00:17:58] Yeah well

[00:17:59] We're used to that today

[00:18:00] Alright

[00:18:00] I've got an email

[00:18:01] From Joe Fult

[00:18:02] Oh

[00:18:02] Have you got another one

[00:18:04] To try to redeem yourself

[00:18:05] With a better one

[00:18:05] What do they serve

[00:18:07] At ghost parties

[00:18:09] Um

[00:18:11] Something but you can't see it

[00:18:12] Booze

[00:18:16] Okay that was actually

[00:18:17] Pretty good

[00:18:18] You're starting

[00:18:19] You're starting

[00:18:19] To come on board

[00:18:20] Scotty

[00:18:20] A little bit

[00:18:22] Grudgingly

[00:18:23] You're softening

[00:18:23] Grudgingly

[00:18:23] You're softening

[00:18:24] Yes

[00:18:25] I've got an email

[00:18:26] From Joe Fulton

[00:18:27] Joe says

[00:18:27] Scott, Brand, Shannon

[00:18:29] And Helga

[00:18:30] Helga

[00:18:30] I guess

[00:18:30] With the Halloween

[00:18:31] Evening party

[00:18:33] I thought this would be

[00:18:33] A good opportunity

[00:18:34] To showcase my

[00:18:35] Halloween yard decorations

[00:18:37] A few years ago

[00:18:38] I shared with you

[00:18:39] The Christmas peanut

[00:18:40] Characters I made

[00:18:41] For my front yard

[00:18:42] Over the years

[00:18:43] I also made yard art

[00:18:44] Based on the

[00:18:45] It's the Great Pumpkin

[00:18:46] Charlie Brown

[00:18:47] Halloween special

[00:18:47] Classic

[00:18:48] I decided to add

[00:18:49] The decorations

[00:18:50] And make a few

[00:18:50] New additions this year

[00:18:52] Including Violet

[00:18:53] Drawing on Charlie

[00:18:53] Brown's head

[00:18:54] Linus with the

[00:18:55] Leaf covered

[00:18:56] Wet lollipop

[00:18:57] Lucy complaining

[00:18:58] About dog germs

[00:18:59] Bobbing for apples

[00:19:00] And Snoopy

[00:19:01] The World War I

[00:19:02] Flying Ace

[00:19:03] Crash landing

[00:19:04] I also added

[00:19:05] New lights at night

[00:19:06] All the characters

[00:19:07] Are hand drawn

[00:19:08] Cut out with a

[00:19:09] Jigsaw

[00:19:09] And painted

[00:19:10] I have plans

[00:19:11] For additional

[00:19:12] Christmas characters

[00:19:12] For this year

[00:19:13] And my hope is

[00:19:14] To one day

[00:19:14] Add music

[00:19:15] To these displays

[00:19:16] Brand, look at

[00:19:18] These photos

[00:19:18] Joe is so

[00:19:20] Daggum

[00:19:22] Skilled

[00:19:23] He's so creative

[00:19:24] He's

[00:19:25] Like, these are

[00:19:25] So impressive

[00:19:26] I literally

[00:19:27] Cannot believe

[00:19:29] That these

[00:19:29] Are made

[00:19:30] By hand

[00:19:30] It's incredible

[00:19:32] Sometimes someone

[00:19:33] Says, oh hey look

[00:19:33] I made this by hand

[00:19:34] And you know

[00:19:35] Inside you're going

[00:19:36] Yeah you did

[00:19:37] Not these

[00:19:38] The one with

[00:19:39] Snoopy and the

[00:19:40] Bobbing for apples

[00:19:41] Container

[00:19:42] Looks phenomenal

[00:19:43] They all look so good

[00:19:44] Yeah I love the

[00:19:45] Snoopy one

[00:19:46] With the World War I

[00:19:47] Flying Ace

[00:19:48] So Joe

[00:19:49] Nice job

[00:19:50] Thank you for

[00:19:50] Sending these in

[00:19:51] I remember now

[00:19:53] Joe sending us

[00:19:54] The Christmas

[00:19:54] Peanuts characters

[00:19:55] But it was

[00:19:57] Years ago

[00:19:57] And I think

[00:19:58] It was before

[00:19:59] I knew Joe

[00:19:59] As Joe

[00:20:00] So it's weird

[00:20:01] That it's come

[00:20:02] Full circle

[00:20:02] Like I thought

[00:20:03] He was just

[00:20:03] Some guy

[00:20:04] He was just

[00:20:04] Any old Joe

[00:20:05] At that point

[00:20:06] He was just

[00:20:06] Any old Joe

[00:20:07] Smough

[00:20:07] And now we know

[00:20:08] Him as Joe

[00:20:08] Fulton

[00:20:09] And that's wonderful

[00:20:09] These were

[00:20:10] Incredible work

[00:20:11] Joe

[00:20:11] Incredible

[00:20:12] You got something

[00:20:13] For us Helga?

[00:20:13] Before we move on

[00:20:15] Another joke

[00:20:16] For you boys

[00:20:17] Yeah okay

[00:20:18] Do you know

[00:20:19] Who won

[00:20:20] The Skeleton

[00:20:21] 5k?

[00:20:22] Oh man

[00:20:24] Nobody?

[00:20:26] Yes

[00:20:27] Damn!

[00:20:29] You did it!

[00:20:29] I've never gotten

[00:20:30] One before

[00:20:30] You did it!

[00:20:31] I've never gotten

[00:20:31] One before

[00:20:32] Halloween

[00:20:33] Since you got

[00:20:34] That one

[00:20:34] What did the ghost

[00:20:36] Say to the toilet?

[00:20:38] Oh man

[00:20:38] I don't know

[00:20:40] You appear

[00:20:41] A bit flushed

[00:20:44] But that is

[00:20:44] One of those

[00:20:45] See it's good

[00:20:46] To know

[00:20:46] That there are

[00:20:47] Jokes that

[00:20:48] You can make

[00:20:48] Halloween

[00:20:49] Just by saying

[00:20:50] Ghosting them

[00:20:50] Like there's

[00:20:51] Christmas jokes

[00:20:52] That you can make

[00:20:52] Christmas

[00:20:53] But just saying

[00:20:53] Santa

[00:20:54] So it's very nice

[00:20:55] I've got an email

[00:20:56] From Melanie Marie

[00:20:57] Melanie says

[00:20:57] I was listening

[00:20:58] To this week's

[00:20:59] Episode as I

[00:21:00] Type this

[00:21:00] And heard you

[00:21:01] Mentioned the

[00:21:02] Nightmare Before

[00:21:02] Christmas

[00:21:03] Light Trail

[00:21:04] I just took

[00:21:05] A weekend trip

[00:21:06] Up to New York

[00:21:07] And that was

[00:21:08] One of the

[00:21:08] Activities I did

[00:21:09] I'm going to

[00:21:10] Be honest

[00:21:11] It was fun

[00:21:12] But not

[00:21:13] $50 and 40

[00:21:14] Minutes each way

[00:21:14] Commuting from

[00:21:15] Manhattan to

[00:21:16] The Bronx

[00:21:16] Fun

[00:21:17] It was a lot

[00:21:18] Of photo ops

[00:21:18] So I felt like

[00:21:19] We were just going

[00:21:20] From one line to

[00:21:21] The other

[00:21:21] For most of the

[00:21:22] Night

[00:21:22] But the music

[00:21:23] Was fun

[00:21:23] And I liked

[00:21:24] The displays

[00:21:25] Here are

[00:21:26] Some pictures

[00:21:27] Now Brant

[00:21:27] For a $50

[00:21:28] Entrance fee

[00:21:29] You can imagine

[00:21:30] You're going to get

[00:21:31] Pretty good displays

[00:21:32] And these don't

[00:21:33] Disappoint

[00:21:33] These are amazing

[00:21:34] Yeah

[00:21:35] For those that have

[00:21:37] Seen the movie

[00:21:37] You know about

[00:21:38] The doorways

[00:21:39] You know the

[00:21:39] Trees

[00:21:40] The doors in it

[00:21:41] And what not

[00:21:42] And they have

[00:21:43] This pumpkin

[00:21:44] That is kind of

[00:21:45] Like a doorway

[00:21:46] Oh that's what

[00:21:46] That is

[00:21:46] Christmas tree

[00:21:48] That is like a doorway

[00:21:49] So really cool

[00:21:51] Work here

[00:21:51] By the

[00:21:53] I believe it was

[00:21:53] The New York

[00:21:54] Botanical Garden

[00:21:56] In regards to

[00:21:57] Those decorations

[00:21:58] Everything else

[00:21:59] Looks good

[00:22:00] Looks good

[00:22:01] The Oogie Boogie

[00:22:02] Though

[00:22:02] I mean these look like

[00:22:03] Commercial characters

[00:22:04] They look like

[00:22:05] They were done

[00:22:06] By the

[00:22:07] Disney or something

[00:22:08] But you know what

[00:22:09] I bet they

[00:22:09] I bet Joe Fulton

[00:22:10] Could have done it

[00:22:11] Oh Joe

[00:22:12] Yeah maybe a little

[00:22:12] Crossover on the

[00:22:13] Other side of your yard

[00:22:14] Maybe you could

[00:22:15] Decorate your

[00:22:15] Neighbor's yard

[00:22:15] We'll see

[00:22:16] Hey

[00:22:17] Speaking of Joe

[00:22:19] I've got a

[00:22:19] Television segment

[00:22:20] Here because

[00:22:21] Joe Fulton

[00:22:22] The Christmas

[00:22:23] Aficionado

[00:22:24] Dipped his toe

[00:22:25] In the Halloween

[00:22:26] Waters for us

[00:22:27] Okay

[00:22:28] And did a review

[00:22:29] Of The Simpsons

[00:22:31] Treehouse of Horror

[00:22:32] Episode 19

[00:22:33] For us

[00:22:34] Fantastic

[00:22:35] Can the Christmas

[00:22:37] Aficionado

[00:22:37] Review a Halloween

[00:22:39] Special

[00:22:39] Well only if it

[00:22:41] Features a Christmas

[00:22:42] Halloween crossover

[00:22:42] Here's my review

[00:22:44] And recap of The

[00:22:45] Simpsons Treehouse of

[00:22:46] Horror

[00:22:46] Episode 19

[00:22:48] Like a number of

[00:22:50] Simpsons Treehouse of

[00:22:51] Horror episodes

[00:22:51] This one features

[00:22:52] Three different stories

[00:22:53] The first story is

[00:22:55] Called Transmorphers

[00:22:56] A parody of the

[00:22:57] Transformers

[00:22:58] It's Christmas

[00:22:59] And Bart buys

[00:23:00] Lisa a Malibu

[00:23:01] Stacy convertible

[00:23:02] This is a huge

[00:23:03] Improvement from the

[00:23:04] Stocking of burps

[00:23:05] He gave Lisa last

[00:23:06] Year

[00:23:06] Hey Lise

[00:23:08] I think I see

[00:23:09] One with your

[00:23:09] Name on it

[00:23:10] I don't know

[00:23:11] How you could

[00:23:11] Top last year's

[00:23:12] Gift

[00:23:12] Oh yeah

[00:23:13] Here's your

[00:23:14] Stocking stuffer

[00:23:14] Bart doesn't

[00:23:16] Know that the toy

[00:23:17] Is an Optimus

[00:23:18] Prime looking

[00:23:19] Transformer or

[00:23:20] Robot in disguise

[00:23:21] The robot begins

[00:23:23] To transform all

[00:23:24] Of the technology

[00:23:25] Including the toaster

[00:23:26] And Homer's car

[00:23:27] While he is in it

[00:23:28] Forcing him to be

[00:23:29] Trapped in the

[00:23:31] Robots

[00:23:32] Wrecked them

[00:23:33] And as the

[00:23:34] Transformers

[00:23:34] Battle each other

[00:23:35] Marge confronts

[00:23:36] The robots as to

[00:23:37] Why they are at war

[00:23:38] With one another

[00:23:39] Just because you're

[00:23:40] Mad at each other

[00:23:40] Doesn't mean you have

[00:23:41] To destroy our town

[00:23:42] What's this whole

[00:23:44] Intergalactic tip

[00:23:45] About anyway

[00:23:45] You know

[00:23:46] I

[00:23:47] I

[00:23:47] Don't remember

[00:23:48] And now that we

[00:23:50] Are not fighting

[00:23:51] Each other

[00:23:51] We can team up

[00:23:53] To enslave

[00:23:54] Your planet

[00:23:55] That's great

[00:23:57] When the robots

[00:23:58] Can't remember

[00:23:59] They decide to

[00:24:00] Work together

[00:24:00] And overthrow

[00:24:01] Humanity

[00:24:02] Placing the residents

[00:24:02] In a game of

[00:24:03] Human foosball

[00:24:05] The second story

[00:24:06] Is called

[00:24:06] How to get ahead

[00:24:07] In deadvertising

[00:24:08] Featuring a

[00:24:09] Mad Men

[00:24:10] Intro credit scene

[00:24:11] Homer gets into

[00:24:12] A fight

[00:24:13] Killing Krusty

[00:24:13] The clown

[00:24:14] In a wood chipper

[00:24:15] And shredding him

[00:24:16] Alive because of

[00:24:17] His trademark dispute

[00:24:18] Two advertising agents

[00:24:20] Hire Homer as a

[00:24:21] Celebrity assassin

[00:24:22] Tasked with killing

[00:24:22] Any celebrity

[00:24:23] Who refuses to lend

[00:24:24] Their name and likeness

[00:24:26] To the advertising

[00:24:27] Oh admin

[00:24:28] Simpson we got a

[00:24:29] Swell little notion

[00:24:30] For ya

[00:24:30] Who's good

[00:24:31] At killing celebrities

[00:24:32] Me

[00:24:33] That's right

[00:24:34] This includes

[00:24:36] Killing George Clooney

[00:24:37] Prince

[00:24:37] And Neil Armstrong

[00:24:39] Allowing advertisers

[00:24:40] To use their name

[00:24:41] After they are dead

[00:24:42] In heaven

[00:24:43] The dead celebrities

[00:24:44] Vow their revenge

[00:24:45] They return to earth

[00:24:47] Attacking the living

[00:24:48] On horses

[00:24:48] And killing Homer

[00:24:49] Who is then sent

[00:24:50] To heaven

[00:24:51] To be alone

[00:24:52] With Abraham Lincoln

[00:24:53] The final story

[00:24:55] Is a parody of

[00:24:56] It's a Grand Pumpkin

[00:24:56] Charlie Brown

[00:24:57] Where Milhouse

[00:24:58] Believes in the

[00:24:59] Grand Pumpkin

[00:25:00] He waits in the

[00:25:01] Pumpkin patch

[00:25:01] With Lisa

[00:25:02] But the Grand Pumpkin

[00:25:03] Never arrives

[00:25:04] Your God is wrong

[00:25:06] Realizing he wasted

[00:25:07] His time

[00:25:07] Milhouse begins to cry

[00:25:09] With his tears

[00:25:10] Soaking into the

[00:25:11] Pumpkin patch

[00:25:11] Bringing the Grand

[00:25:12] Pumpkin to life

[00:25:13] He's appalled

[00:25:14] To find that humans

[00:25:15] Carve and eat

[00:25:16] Pumpkins on Halloween

[00:25:17] And begin to eat

[00:25:19] The Springfield residents

[00:25:20] Oh God

[00:25:21] Everyone

[00:25:23] Pumpkin atrocities

[00:25:25] Care for a pumpkin seed

[00:25:28] Roast the unborn

[00:25:32] Lisa convinces Milhouse

[00:25:33] To cry again

[00:25:34] And bring Tom Turkey

[00:25:35] To life

[00:25:36] A giant turkey

[00:25:36] With a musket

[00:25:37] And a symbol

[00:25:38] Of Thanksgiving

[00:25:39] The turkey

[00:25:40] Kills the Grand Pumpkin

[00:25:41] Saving the residents

[00:25:42] But becomes outraged

[00:25:43] And turns on them

[00:25:44] When he learns

[00:25:45] That people eat turkey

[00:25:46] On Thanksgiving

[00:25:47] So final thoughts

[00:25:51] The Treehouse of Horror

[00:25:53] Episodes are always fun

[00:25:54] Weird parodies

[00:25:55] Of pop culture

[00:25:55] Television shows

[00:25:56] And this is one

[00:25:57] Of my favorites

[00:25:58] I give this episode

[00:25:59] A B plus

[00:26:00] I'm the Christmas

[00:26:02] Aficionado

[00:26:02] And remember

[00:26:03] Candy corn

[00:26:04] Is just sugary wax

[00:26:05] That no one

[00:26:06] Should eat

[00:26:06] Bran I absolutely

[00:26:08] Love the Simpsons

[00:26:09] I'll be honest

[00:26:10] I'm more of an

[00:26:11] Early Simpsons guy

[00:26:12] But the Treehouse

[00:26:13] Of Horror episodes

[00:26:14] I can watch

[00:26:15] Even modern ones

[00:26:16] Of that

[00:26:17] And just so great

[00:26:18] And it's really fun

[00:26:19] To have somebody

[00:26:20] Describe it

[00:26:22] Because it's just

[00:26:22] Thinking about it

[00:26:23] In a way that

[00:26:24] I haven't before

[00:26:25] And Joe

[00:26:26] Thank you for doing that

[00:26:27] Really nice of you

[00:26:28] I think you've got

[00:26:29] A second YouTube channel

[00:26:31] Possibly right here

[00:26:32] The Halloween Aficionado

[00:26:33] There you go

[00:26:34] I like that a lot

[00:26:35] And I

[00:26:36] I like the Simpsons

[00:26:37] And I know

[00:26:38] That the Treehouse episodes

[00:26:40] Are legend

[00:26:41] But I think

[00:26:42] I've only seen

[00:26:43] A couple of them

[00:26:44] So this has inspired me

[00:26:46] I'll go and I'll check out

[00:26:46] A couple of them tonight

[00:26:47] Maybe to

[00:26:48] To wind down

[00:26:50] My Halloween

[00:26:51] But

[00:26:51] Joe if I may

[00:26:53] Next year

[00:26:54] If I can

[00:26:55] Request

[00:26:56] A Halloween review

[00:26:57] I would like for you

[00:26:58] To give us

[00:26:59] Boy Meets World

[00:27:00] And then there was Sean

[00:27:01] That would be my request

[00:27:03] Do you know

[00:27:05] What ghosts like

[00:27:06] To watch on TV

[00:27:09] Boy Meets World

[00:27:10] And then there was Sean

[00:27:11] Treehouse of Horror

[00:27:12] Saturday Fright Live

[00:27:15] Kind of going downhill

[00:27:17] Brand

[00:27:17] You can only

[00:27:18] You know

[00:27:19] There's peaks and valleys

[00:27:21] There's peaks and valleys

[00:27:22] She used all the good ones

[00:27:23] Right at the beginning

[00:27:24] I guess

[00:27:25] One more

[00:27:26] What do skeletons say

[00:27:29] Before they eat

[00:27:30] Don't

[00:27:31] I don't know

[00:27:31] Oh man

[00:27:32] Grace

[00:27:33] Bon Appetit

[00:27:39] Bram

[00:27:39] Why don't we take a quick break

[00:27:40] And when we come back

[00:27:42] Mrs. Claus is going to join us

[00:27:44] Really?

[00:27:45] Why?

[00:27:46] We don't know

[00:27:46] But she asked

[00:27:47] And we said

[00:27:48] Absolutely

[00:27:49] Who are we to turn down

[00:27:50] Mrs. Claus?

[00:27:51] That's right

[00:27:52] So we'll be right back

[00:28:05] And we're back

[00:28:05] Whoa

[00:28:08] Hello

[00:28:08] Hello everybody

[00:28:09] Boo to you

[00:28:10] Boo to you

[00:28:11] Boo to you

[00:28:12] It's great to be back here

[00:28:13] On a very special episode

[00:28:15] Of Christmas Morning

[00:28:16] That we are calling

[00:28:17] Halloween Evening

[00:28:18] You know

[00:28:19] This is of course

[00:28:20] Our third or fourth

[00:28:22] One of these

[00:28:22] Oh yeah

[00:28:24] Yeah

[00:28:24] The internet ate

[00:28:25] The other ones though

[00:28:26] Yeah

[00:28:26] We released them

[00:28:27] And for some reason

[00:28:28] They just never

[00:28:29] Never came out

[00:28:30] It was a Halloween prank

[00:28:31] It must have been

[00:28:32] Must have been

[00:28:33] Yeah

[00:28:33] But you know

[00:28:34] It's not a prank

[00:28:35] What's that?

[00:28:35] Mrs. Claus asked

[00:28:36] If she could join us

[00:28:37] On the Halloween episode

[00:28:39] Which really kind of

[00:28:40] Smoked me funny

[00:28:41] Hello

[00:28:41] Oh there he is right there

[00:28:42] Hello Mrs. Claus

[00:28:44] Oh

[00:28:44] It's me

[00:28:45] Mrs. Claus

[00:28:46] Hello

[00:28:47] Hello

[00:28:48] I have a little thing

[00:28:50] That I want to read

[00:28:51] You know

[00:28:52] Just doing my part

[00:28:54] And I'm excited

[00:28:55] For Christmas

[00:28:56] It's coming so soon

[00:28:57] Do you like Halloween though?

[00:28:59] Like what are the thoughts

[00:29:00] On Halloween up there?

[00:29:01] Oh we love Halloween

[00:29:03] We get a little spooky

[00:29:04] Up here

[00:29:05] And Santa loves it

[00:29:07] And he eats way

[00:29:08] Too much candy

[00:29:09] But it's very fun

[00:29:11] I guess that makes sense

[00:29:12] Yeah

[00:29:12] I assumed he eats

[00:29:13] A little too much candy

[00:29:14] Every day

[00:29:15] But that's good to know

[00:29:16] Does he ever dress up?

[00:29:17] Ever do a costume?

[00:29:19] Well

[00:29:19] I think that he's going

[00:29:21] To dress up

[00:29:22] As an elf this year

[00:29:23] Believe it or not

[00:29:25] Whoa

[00:29:26] Man that's crazy

[00:29:27] Yes and the elves

[00:29:28] Get into the spirit as well

[00:29:30] We have witches

[00:29:30] And ghosts

[00:29:31] And goblins

[00:29:32] And some dress up

[00:29:33] As Santa Claus

[00:29:34] And Mrs. Claus

[00:29:35] Of course

[00:29:35] What?

[00:29:36] Santa doesn't get mad

[00:29:37] If an elf

[00:29:38] Dress up as him

[00:29:39] Like he's going to

[00:29:40] Walk over and kick him

[00:29:40] In the head or something?

[00:29:41] I mean sometimes

[00:29:42] It happens

[00:29:43] But you know

[00:29:43] Okay

[00:29:44] Oh okay

[00:29:45] Phew

[00:29:45] They are rather short

[00:29:47] So sometimes

[00:29:47] I just say

[00:29:48] It happens

[00:29:49] So what did you want

[00:29:50] To read for us

[00:29:50] Mrs. Claus?

[00:29:52] I am going to read

[00:29:53] Twas the night

[00:29:54] Before Halloween

[00:29:55] Are you ready?

[00:29:57] Oh yeah

[00:29:58] Absolutely

[00:29:58] Okay

[00:29:59] Twas the night

[00:30:00] Before Halloween

[00:30:01] When all through the house

[00:30:03] Not a creature

[00:30:05] Was stirring

[00:30:05] Not even

[00:30:07] A mouse

[00:30:07] The costumes

[00:30:09] Were hung

[00:30:09] By the chimney

[00:30:10] With care

[00:30:15] The children

[00:30:16] Were nestled

[00:30:17] All snug

[00:30:18] In their beds

[00:30:19] While visions

[00:30:20] Of candy

[00:30:21] Danced

[00:30:22] In their heads

[00:30:23] And I

[00:30:24] In my apron

[00:30:25] With broom

[00:30:26] In my hand

[00:30:27] Had just settled

[00:30:28] Down

[00:30:29] To inspect

[00:30:29] All the planned

[00:30:30] When out

[00:30:32] On the lawn

[00:30:33] There arose

[00:30:34] Such a clatter

[00:30:35] I sprang

[00:30:36] From my chair

[00:30:37] To see

[00:30:37] What was the matter

[00:30:39] Away

[00:30:40] To the window

[00:30:41] I flew

[00:30:41] Like a flash

[00:30:42] Tore open

[00:30:44] The shutters

[00:30:44] And threw up

[00:30:45] The sash

[00:30:46] The moonlight

[00:30:47] Was glowing

[00:30:48] On leaves

[00:30:49] Crisp and bright

[00:30:50] And ghosts

[00:30:51] Danced around

[00:30:53] In the pale

[00:30:54] Silver light

[00:30:55] When what

[00:30:56] To my

[00:30:57] Wondering eyes

[00:30:58] Should appear

[00:30:59] But a miniature

[00:31:00] Sleigh

[00:31:01] And a tiny

[00:31:02] Reindeer

[00:31:03] With a little

[00:31:04] Old driver

[00:31:05] So lively

[00:31:06] And quick

[00:31:07] I knew

[00:31:08] In a moment

[00:31:09] It must be

[00:31:10] My

[00:31:10] Saint Nick

[00:31:12] More rapid

[00:31:14] Than bats

[00:31:14] His coursers

[00:31:15] They came

[00:31:16] And he

[00:31:17] Whistled

[00:31:17] And shouted

[00:31:18] And called

[00:31:19] Them by name

[00:31:20] Now

[00:31:21] Banshee

[00:31:21] Now

[00:31:22] Werewolf

[00:31:22] Now

[00:31:23] Goblin

[00:31:23] And wraith

[00:31:24] On

[00:31:25] Phantom

[00:31:25] On

[00:31:26] Mummy

[00:31:26] On

[00:31:27] Zombie

[00:31:27] And

[00:31:28] Scaith

[00:31:28] To the top

[00:31:29] Of the porch

[00:31:30] To the top

[00:31:31] Of the wall

[00:31:32] Now

[00:31:33] Dash away

[00:31:34] Dash away

[00:31:35] Dash away

[00:31:36] All

[00:31:36] As dry

[00:31:38] Leaves

[00:31:39] That before

[00:31:39] The wild

[00:31:40] Hurricane

[00:31:41] Fly

[00:31:42] When they

[00:31:43] Meet with

[00:31:43] An obstacle

[00:31:44] Mount to

[00:31:45] The sky

[00:31:45] So up

[00:31:47] To the

[00:31:47] Housetops

[00:31:48] The coursers

[00:31:49] They flew

[00:31:50] With a sleigh

[00:31:51] Full of treats

[00:31:52] And Saint

[00:31:53] Nicholas too

[00:31:54] And then

[00:31:55] In a twinkling

[00:31:57] I heard

[00:31:58] On the roof

[00:31:58] The prancing

[00:31:59] And pawing

[00:32:00] Of each

[00:32:01] Little hoof

[00:32:01] As I drew

[00:32:03] In my head

[00:32:04] And was

[00:32:04] Turning around

[00:32:05] Down the chimney

[00:32:07] Saint Nick

[00:32:07] Came

[00:32:08] With a bound

[00:32:09] He was dressed

[00:32:10] All in black

[00:32:11] From his head

[00:32:12] To his toe

[00:32:12] And his clothes

[00:32:13] Were all tarnished

[00:32:14] With ashes

[00:32:15] And soot

[00:32:16] A bundle

[00:32:17] Of goodies

[00:32:17] He had flung

[00:32:18] On his back

[00:32:18] And he looked

[00:32:19] Like a peddler

[00:32:20] Just opening

[00:32:21] His pack

[00:32:22] His eyes

[00:32:23] How they twinkled

[00:32:24] His dimples

[00:32:25] How merry

[00:32:26] His cheeks

[00:32:27] Were like pumpkins

[00:32:28] All plump

[00:32:29] And quite scary

[00:32:31] His mouth

[00:32:32] Was a grimace

[00:32:33] All twisted

[00:32:34] In glee

[00:32:35] And the beard

[00:32:36] On his chin

[00:32:37] Was as white

[00:32:38] As could be

[00:32:38] He had a broad

[00:32:40] Face and a belly

[00:32:41] That shook

[00:32:41] Like a bowl

[00:32:43] Full of jelly

[00:32:43] Oh what a sight

[00:32:45] What a look

[00:32:46] He was chubby

[00:32:48] And plump

[00:32:48] A right jolly

[00:32:49] Old fright

[00:32:50] And I laughed

[00:32:52] When I saw him

[00:32:53] In spite

[00:32:54] Of the night

[00:32:54] A wink of his eye

[00:32:57] And a twist

[00:32:57] Of his head

[00:32:58] Let me know

[00:32:59] I had nothing

[00:33:00] To dread

[00:33:01] He spoke not a word

[00:33:03] But went straight

[00:33:04] To his work

[00:33:05] And filled

[00:33:06] All the cauldrons

[00:33:08] Then turned

[00:33:09] With a jerk

[00:33:10] And laying a finger

[00:33:12] Aside of his nose

[00:33:13] And giving a nod

[00:33:15] Up the chimney

[00:33:16] He rose

[00:33:17] He sprang

[00:33:18] To his sleigh

[00:33:19] To his team

[00:33:20] Gave a call

[00:33:21] And away

[00:33:23] They all flew

[00:33:23] Like the bats

[00:33:24] From the hall

[00:33:25] But I heard him

[00:33:27] Exclaim

[00:33:28] Ere he vanished

[00:33:29] From sight

[00:33:30] Happy haunting

[00:33:32] To all

[00:33:33] And to all

[00:33:35] A spooky night

[00:33:36] Mwa ha ha ha

[00:33:38] Ho ho ho

[00:33:43] I was worried

[00:33:44] You were

[00:33:44] Getting a little

[00:33:45] Too spooky

[00:33:46] There

[00:33:46] But then you

[00:33:47] Turned it around

[00:33:47] With a ho ho

[00:33:48] Thank you so much

[00:33:49] Mrs. Claus

[00:33:49] That was wonderful

[00:33:51] Oh

[00:34:10] It was excellent

[00:34:11] No
