  Speaker 1: Settle down all nice and warm your very own bed,
• 0:26
  and just close your eyes. Take a deep breath in
• 0:31
  through your nose, and slowly and gently breathe out through
• 0:37
  your mouth. Again, breathe in through your nose, and slowly
• 0:47
  and gently out through your mouth.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: One more time. Breathe in, and slowly and gently breathe
• 1:02
  out through your mouth. Now, today I'm going to tell
• 1:09
  you a story, a story about a young reindeer who
• 1:14
  became the leader of all the reindeer who paulled Santa's sleigh.
• 1:20
  It was two days until Christmas Eve, and Santa was
• 1:25
  going through his list of toys for all of the children.
• 1:28
  Everywhere it was snowing, but it was beautiful. Everywhere was white,
• 1:37
  so clean, so bright. And Santa called out to Rudolph,
• 1:42
  but he got no answer. He wondered where he was,
• 1:48
  so he called him again, and then he remembered Rudolph
• 1:53
  was packing his case because he was retiring from pulling
• 1:56
  the sleigh. Because Rudolph had done this for many, many years.
• 2:02
  Santa was going to be very sad to see him go,
• 2:06
  but he knew that Rudolph deserved to be in a
• 2:09
  warm sunshine, having lazy days ahead. So Santa, being the
• 2:17
  kind man that he was, brought him a ticket to
• 2:20
  travel to a tropical island where he could do whatever
• 2:24
  he wanted to do from now on, no more pulling
• 2:28
  a heavy sleigh, no more keeping the other endear in line,
• 2:34
  just sun Sea and Sandy. Days ahead, Santa had even
• 2:40
  bought Rudolph some new sunglasses and sun cream for a
• 2:43
  shiny nose so it wouldn't get sunburnt. But Santa still
• 2:48
  knew he needed to find someone, someone knew to take
• 2:52
  over from Rudolph, so he decided to run talent show
• 2:59
  to find that actual knew reindeer, the one who would
• 3:02
  be Rudolph's successor. The talent show is called The North
• 3:10
  Pole's Got Talent Wow. Santa was absolutely thrilled with this
• 3:15
  idea because it was Missus Clawes who thought of it.
• 3:20
  The show's panel would consist of Missus Claws of course,
• 3:25
  head Elf, Bernard Evergreen, and Rudolph himself, but the final
• 3:32
  say would always be with Santa himself, and the show
• 3:40
  was to begin in an hour's time. Santa was very
• 3:44
  excited on shore, but very excited the show was finally
• 3:53
  starting and the judges were in place and one by
• 3:58
  one the other reindeer took their place on the stage.
• 4:03
  The stage was brightly lit with lots of colorful Christmas
• 4:06
  lights and lots of lovely twinkling gold dust floating gently
• 4:11
  through the air. Oh, it was such a beautiful sight.
• 4:19
  After seeing the seventh reindeer do a song and a
• 4:22
  dance very badly, i might add, because this reindeer, who
• 4:27
  was called Jack, really couldn't sing in tune. Neither could
• 4:32
  he dance because he really did have two left feet,
• 4:36
  which made it very hard for him to walk straight,
• 4:39
  let alone dance. Santa side, they only had one more
• 4:46
  reindeer to see, and he wasn't holding out much hope because, unfortunately,
• 4:52
  as wonderful as they were, none of them were really
• 4:56
  up to the job, and it was a hard job.
• 5:01
  Santa was just hoping that this last one would be
• 5:03
  the one. The final reindeer entered the stage and began
• 5:10
  to tap dance and at the same time was playing
• 5:12
  the bagpipes. Oh dear, what a racket the bagpipes made.
• 5:19
  Santa had to put his fingers in his ears to
• 5:20
  try and drown out the sound, but unfortunately it didn't work.
• 5:26
  When the reindeer finished his dancing and packed bike playing.
• 5:32
  They all clapped. After all, he did try his very
• 5:35
  very best. Santa sighed again. He spoke with the panel
• 5:42
  of judges and said, what are we to do? We
• 5:45
  only have today and tomorrow to find a replacement for Rudolph.
• 5:49
  What are we to do? The competition was now over,
• 5:55
  but they had still not found anyone. Santa stepped up
• 5:59
  on the stage and he asked if there was anyone
• 6:02
  else who would like to come up and try. He
• 6:05
  really really hoped there would be. It was then that
• 6:10
  another young reindeer held up a hand and said, my
• 6:14
  friend can sing. She has a very beautiful voice, and
• 6:17
  she is very strong. She can pull your sleigh for you.
• 6:21
  Santa said, well why not? We have no one else now.
• 6:28
  The young reindeer looked very shocked. She's only seven years old.
• 6:34
  She's very quiet and very shy, and she has had
• 6:38
  a bit of a hard life because she lived in
• 6:40
  the reindeer orphanage along with her friend who had put
• 6:43
  a hand up. They didn't have any parents and not
• 6:47
  very many friends because they were both shy, so sometimes
• 6:52
  they got a bit lonely, but they did have each other.
• 6:57
  Her name was Angel and she is like an angel too.
• 7:02
  She is very serene and very loving. She is very beautiful,
• 7:08
  but she doesn't think that she is, and she has
• 7:12
  no idea how wonderful her singing voice is. It's a
• 7:17
  voice that makes everyone feel happy and want to sing
• 7:21
  along too. It's her special skill, even though she doesn't
• 7:26
  know it. It's a voice that brings peace to everyone
• 7:31
  that hears it. So slowly, she climbs up the steps
• 7:38
  and onto the stage and she stands next to Santa
• 7:42
  and smiles shyly at him, looking as if she's about
• 7:45
  to run away. Santa tells her, it's okay, and you
• 7:50
  just sing a song. Santa leaves the stage and Angel
• 7:55
  is left on her own. She is very nervous, trembling
• 8:00
  a little bit. She moves up to the microphone and
• 8:04
  looks out into the audience and all she can see
• 8:09
  is many faces just looking back at her, waiting for
• 8:13
  her to sing. Slowly, she begins to sing, but her
• 8:20
  voice is a bit quivery at first because she's so scared.
• 8:25
  But she looks at Santa's face and into his very
• 8:28
  kind eyes, and he gives her the confidence because she
• 8:33
  knows he is willing her to do her best as
• 8:39
  she sings, Angel's voice becomes stronger and louder, and the
• 8:45
  sweet melodies becomes so very clear that everyone begins to
• 8:52
  listen intently. As she sings, all the reindeer becomes silent,
• 9:00
  and she can see in their eyes how much they
• 9:03
  love a voice. It makes them feel so safe, It
• 9:09
  makes them feel so very loved, It makes them feel
• 9:14
  so very happy, so happy in fact, that they begin
• 9:19
  to sing with her, and she is overjoyed by this.
• 9:26
  When Angel finishes her song, the crowd of reindeer let
• 9:31
  out a roar of approval. They love what she sings,
• 9:36
  They love her. Angel is so moved by this tears
• 9:41
  spring into her eyes, but she is so very very happy.
• 9:48
  Santa comes back onto the stage and gives her a great,
• 9:52
  big hug, the kind of hug that only Santa can give.
• 9:57
  He announces that Angel is the winner of the competition.
• 10:01
  An Angel will take over from Rudolph and leave the
• 10:04
  other reindeer on Christmas Eve. The following day, it is
• 10:11
  Christmas Eve and the reindeer are all ready to go,
• 10:16
  all ready to pull a sleigh for Santa. Santa does
• 10:21
  his final check and then he calls out all of
• 10:25
  the names. Now Dasher, now Dancer, now prans and now Vixen.
• 10:29
  On comments on Kupet, on Donner on Blitzen. The name
• 10:34
  he saves till last is Angel, and Santa says, come on, Angel,
• 10:42
  show me what you can do. She gives him a
• 10:46
  big criin and begins to move forward, followed by the
• 10:50
  other reindeer. As she builds up speed, she and they
• 10:55
  begin to rise up into the clear night sky, and
• 11:00
  the moon shines brightly and lights their way. Rudolph, who
• 11:07
  is down below with his suitcase and his ticket to
• 11:10
  a tropical island, is so very very proud of her.
• 11:15
  He's so proud to have Hair as his successor, and
• 11:19
  he smiles happily. He waves goodbye to them all and
• 11:25
  then goes off to the sun for a well aired rest.
• 11:31
  But you, though, you feel very peaceful now tucked up
• 11:36
  in your own bed, and now it's time for you
• 11:40
  to sleep, and you feel so very relaxed, ever so happy.
• 11:49
  You just want to go to sleep and dream of
• 11:52
  your happy Christmas. And if you listen really hard, maybe,
• 12:01
  just maybe you can hear the tinkle of the sleigh bells.
• 12:07
  You might look out the window. You might see Angel
• 12:10
  for yourself, but for now, good night, sleep tight. We
• 12:20
  wish you a very happy Christmas and a fabulous new Year.
