No life forms. Coast is clear.
0:09
Coast is clear. Yeah, it's almost Christmas.
0:15
This is my favorite time of year.
0:17
Is everybody here Jesse? Potato Ham.
0:21
Forky. Sarge.
0:23
Wait, forky. What are you doing here?
0:27
This is a toy section you belong over in Picnic Supplies.
0:32
He's a toy now, Woody. You've got to be kidding, Jesse.
0:35
It's true. I'm an action figure, just like
0:38
you, Woody. You're not an action figure.
0:42
You're a spork. Does Disney sell sporks Woody?
0:46
Well, of course not. They sell toys.
0:50
Show Woody your tat, forky. Disney.
0:54
Come on Woody, don't be so plum. It's almost Jesus birthday.
0:59
Who's Jesus? Jesus is the most popular kid in
1:02
the world. People shop for months, buying
1:05
him birthday gifts. Practically the whole world goes
1:08
to his birthday party. You really?
1:11
Are a potato head. Jesus is dead.
1:14
Jesus isn't dead, Sarge. Jesus died, but he rose again on
1:18
the third day. Beau is right.
1:20
Christmas is the time humans celebrate his birth by giving
1:23
gifts to each other. You let a pig be a toy.
1:27
He's a Piggy Bank. His dad was a bank.
1:29
His mom was a pig. Mixed marriage.
1:32
And I didn't let him be a toy either.
1:35
There was a time when it was just Cowboys and Indians.
1:38
Those were the good old days. Hey, we heard that.
1:43
I said good old days, Bo. These are the better new days
1:48
now that you're a toy. And what about Buzz and Jesse
1:52
and all of the rest of us, including Forkey?
1:56
You're right. I'm sorry everyone.
1:59
It's just that well. Go ahead and say it cowboy.
2:02
Sales are down, and Fork is just another addition to the long
2:05
list of your competition. Really, Potato Head?
2:09
You had to make this personal, didn't you?
2:11
Sorry Jesse, but my accessories include eyes, ears, a nose, and
2:16
a mouth. I don't come with feelings.
2:18
Walk it off, Potato Head. Fine, I'm leaving.
2:24
Why don't we tell Forky about Jesus?
2:26
Yeah, good idea, Jesse. Buzz, the toy floor is all
2:31
yours. You see, forky Jesus is the Son
2:35
of God. He was born on the Earth over
2:37
2000 years ago. For real.
2:41
For real. Buzz studied angelic activity at
2:44
the Space Academy. The Angels were busy preparing
2:47
for his birth. Tell him the story, Buzz.
2:51
Well, approximately 9 months before the birth of Jesus, the
2:55
Angel Gabriel was sent from planet heaven to deliver a
2:58
message to a girl named Mary. What kind of a message?
3:03
The message was from God telling her that she was going to have a
3:07
baby. She wasn't even married.
3:10
Let Bass tell the story, Woody. Mary was a virgin.
3:14
Hold on a minute. I may be a spork, but even I
3:19
know that's impossible. Nothing is impossible with God.
3:25
Well, don't babies have to have some sort of a father?
3:28
Yeah. Woody, quit interrupting.
3:32
He started it. God was going to be the Father.
3:36
All that Mary had to do was to believe God's message in her
3:39
heart and speak it out of her mouth.
3:44
Let's see, 99 O 8 Elm St. This is it.
3:49
And that must be Mary. I'd better make myself appear.
3:56
Mary. Don't be afraid.
3:58
I'm not afraid. Why should I be afraid?
4:02
Hey, how did you know my name? I'm an Angel, a messenger of
4:07
God, and I have a message for you.
4:10
A message Who is it From JoJo. JoJo.
4:15
Yes, JoJo, he's my fiance. Oh no, this can't be.
4:21
God's never been wrong before. I'm sorry, there must have been
4:25
a mix up somewhere. Your fiance was supposed to be a
4:28
guy named Joseph, not JoJo. Oh, his name is Joseph JoJo is
4:35
just the nickname I gave him. That's a relief.
4:39
Well, hand over the message. I can't.
4:42
I have to read it to you myself. It's my job.
4:46
Oh, a talking telegram. JoJo is so thoughtful.
4:54
It's not from JoJo, it's from God.
4:58
From God for me. Oh, what does it say?
5:04
Any guys, Mary, you have found fever with God, just wait and
5:13
see in your womb you shall conceive a little or baby.
5:19
Jesus will be his name. Son of the Highest is he, and
5:24
into his Kingdom, Mama, there will never be.
5:28
Wait. Cut.
5:29
Hold it right there. In this day and age, girls don't
5:33
have babies until they're married.
5:35
I want my husband to be the first and only if you know what
5:39
I mean. So how can I have a baby?
5:43
I was getting to that. It's in the next verse, Itty
5:47
guys, The Holy Ghost shall come on you with power from above.
5:57
He shall over shadow you and fill you with his love.
6:02
The word of God is full of life. Receive it in your body.
6:06
Holy child conceived in you. He is the Son of God.
6:14
I'm waiting for your response. Oh, you were wonderful.
6:19
Not that kind of response. You've heard the promise of God
6:23
to you, Now will you receive it? Remember with God all things are
6:28
possible. Lord, it's me, Mary, be it to me
6:35
according to your word, I have to tell JoJo.
6:43
I better go see if I can help her to Infinity and beyond.
6:50
At that very moment, the Word of God became flesh inside of
6:53
Mary's womb. Sorry I'm late.
6:57
I was warming up my voice box. Gabby.
7:00
Gabby, Gabby. Woody and Buzz are telling me
7:03
about Jesus. Jesus, what aisle is he on?
7:06
He's not on any aisle. He's the Son of God.
7:09
It's his birthday this month. That's why all the stores are
7:12
extra crowded this time of year. It's almost Christmas.
7:17
Christmas is Jesus birthday. Christmas is Santa Claus
7:20
delivering presents? Oh, what planet did you get off
7:23
of? Not that people from other
7:27
planets are dumb. Buzz, tell Gabby about Jesus
7:30
birth. Yeah, tell us some more.
7:33
Listen to this. Gabby.
7:34
Gabby. It all happened when Mary and
7:36
Joseph traveled to Bethlehem to pay their taxes.
7:39
They needed a place to stay, but there was no room in the motel.
7:43
Well, back then they called it an inn.
7:46
Oh wait, Buzz. This is a fun part.
7:48
This is where Ham had us acted out.
7:50
Who's. Ham.
7:51
A friend of mine. Ham.
7:53
Where's Ham? Hey, Ham.
7:56
I'm coming, Woody. Ham knows all about this next
7:59
part. One of his grandma's lived in
8:01
Bethlehem at the time Jesus was born.
8:04
Hey Boo, we saw your sheep wandering around on aisle 9.
8:07
They were sniffing around my dinner.
8:09
Sorry about that, Ham. I'll be right back, Woody.
8:12
Be careful out there, Bo. It's a jungle on aisle 6.
8:16
Sorry it took me so long. I was eating something off the
8:19
floor that a customer dropped. They called it a chicharon
8:23
Chicharon. Never heard of them.
8:26
They're pretty good, you should try it sometime.
8:29
What'd you need? Buzz and I were telling Forky
8:32
and Gabby. Gabby, Gabby.
8:33
God bless you. I didn't sneeze.
8:35
Never mind. Anyway, we were telling them
8:38
about the birth of Jesus. We're at the part where Mary and
8:41
Joseph get to Bethlehem. You mean Bethlehem?
8:45
Gabby is it. Gabby, Gabby.
8:47
God bless you. Now stand here and pretend
8:49
you're merry. OK.
8:51
What do I do? This is the part where you
8:53
deliver the baby. I don't know how to do that
8:55
forkey. Why don't you be merry, OK?
8:58
He can't be Mary. He's a guy.
9:01
But I've never delivered a baby. We're just pretending.
9:04
Come on, it'll be fun. Woody, you be Joseph.
9:08
I suppose I can do that. Forky you be, baby Jesus.
9:12
OK. Who's going to be the Doctor?
9:15
There was no doctor. What?
9:17
You have to have a doctor. That's what I used to think.
9:21
Trust me. Go ahead, Ham.
9:23
The rest of you were cows and sheep, and I'll be the pig.
9:28
Don't tell me the animals delivered the baby.
9:31
Don't be ridiculous Now, at the time Mary was about to have the
9:35
baby, everyone had to return to their hometown to be counted and
9:39
taxed. So Joseph and Mary had to return
9:41
to the city of Bethlehem. And so did a bunch of other
9:45
people. I'm so sorry.
9:48
We're all fool. Please Sir, my wife is about to
9:51
have a baby and I have money. Ah, we never turn away a paying
9:56
customer. You could.
9:58
Stay in the stable. But Joseph, is everything OK?
10:01
They don't have any rooms in the inn.
10:03
The place is packed due to the census.
10:06
Why couldn't I have been born in Jerusalem?
10:09
There are a dozen places to spend the night there.
10:11
Joseph, I hate to tell you this, but I think it's time.
10:16
I know the innkeeper was kind enough to let us have the stable
10:19
boy. Am I tired?
10:21
Come on, Mary, let's get some sleep.
10:23
No, Joseph, you can't go to sleep yet, huh?
10:26
It's time. You mean it's time?
10:30
No, not tonight. Can't you wait until tomorrow?
10:33
Maybe they'll have an opening in the morning.
10:35
We can get a clean room. I could wait until the morning,
10:38
but I don't think the baby wants to.
10:41
He's coming tonight Did. I overhear you correctly.
10:45
Are you going to have a baby? Yes.
10:47
Did you hear that, everyone? She's having a baby right here
10:51
in our stable. You picked a nice place to raise
10:55
a family. My husband and I love this town.
10:58
Mary, that's a pig. Pigs are unclean.
11:02
I heard that. Joseph, we're not going to eat
11:05
the pig. Besides, we're supposed to love
11:08
everyone, regardless of their skin color or species.
11:12
OK, let me go talk to the innkeeper.
11:15
There has to be something he can do.
11:16
Joseph, I can't wait any longer. The stable will be fine.
11:20
Have you forgotten that it's the Son of God you're giving birth
11:23
to? What kind of place is a stable
11:25
for the Christ child to be born? Did you just say Christ child?
11:30
Yes, our baby is the Son of God. Right, and I'm married to a
11:34
frog. Look, we've all delivered babies
11:37
in the stable. It's clean and warm.
11:40
Come on, Joseph, the baby won't know the difference between a
11:43
hotel room and a stable. I can't wait much longer.
11:46
Wait, Mary, do you think? God will be.
11:48
Upset with us for not having fancy clothes and a nice crib in
11:52
a big warm bedroom. This is God's gift of love to
11:55
the world, Joseph. How could we ever give him what
11:58
he deserves in return? Well, that's true, but.
12:02
I know what you mean, Joseph. You want to do your best for
12:05
God, but somehow I think God is telling the world that he loves
12:09
us all, no matter how rich or poor we are.
12:12
The star Look everyone up in the sky.
12:16
Your baby really is the son of God.
12:19
Yes, he is. Pardon my behavior earlier.
12:22
It would be an honor to have you as our guest here in the stable.
12:25
You'd better hurry or you're going to have that baby in the
12:28
street. She's right.
12:30
Of course I'm right. I'm a woman.
12:33
Miss Piggy, we would love to have our baby in your stable.
12:37
The Son of God delivered by. Wait a second.
12:45
What were the animals doing in the hospital where Jesus was
12:48
born? Weren't you listening?
12:50
Jesus wasn't born in a hospital. He was born in a stable.
12:54
I don't know about this. Let's get out of here forkey.
12:58
No, wait, look, I know it sounds crazy.
13:01
I always thought Jesus should have come to earth like a king.
13:04
He's supposed to be the son of God, after all.
13:07
Tell him Ham. Jesus came to earth as an
13:10
ordinary man so that even ordinary people could be saved,
13:14
not just kings. It just doesn't make any sense.
13:17
It's in the Bible. Just give us a chance to finish.
13:20
Then you can decide for yourself.
13:22
I think we should leave now. Come on, forky.
13:25
No, don't go. Don't you want to hear the real
13:29
meaning of Christmas? Some people don't want to know
13:32
the truth, Woody. Some people can't handle the
13:36
truth. Yeah, but Forky's not some
13:39
people. He's just a helpless sport.
13:42
Well, if it's all the same to you, I didn't get to finish my
13:45
dinner. See you later, Woody.
13:47
Buzz. Hey, if you get hungry, I'm over
13:50
on aisle 9. See ya ham.
13:52
Thanks for your help. Later, Ham.
13:55
Come on, Woody. It's not your fault.
13:57
They'll come around before you know it.
14:00
Gabby and Forky will come back to hear the rest of the story.
14:03
I think I'm going to be sick. Potato.
14:06
What's wrong? It's ham.
14:08
He's eating right off the floor. Doesn't he know about Joems?
14:12
Well, he has a peg. According to my instrument
14:15
panel, there are absolutely no harmful contaminants in the
14:18
area. Well, it's not good manners to
14:20
eat off the floor. Hey, forky, forky.
14:24
You're back. I knew you'd come back.
14:30
Keep it down. I don't want Gabby, Gabby to
14:32
hear you. She'll send Vincent to get me.
14:36
So tell me more about this. Jesus, I'm real interested.
14:39
He doesn't know about Jesus. I thought everybody knew about
14:43
Jesus by now. What do you know about Jesus?
14:47
I know plenty. Jesus ate all his vegetables.
14:50
You mean it's a veggie tale? I love Veggie Tales.
14:55
Oh brother. It's not a veggie tale.
14:58
Well, there is a Veggie Tale version, but Buzz, where were
15:02
we? Did I tell you about the lowly
15:04
shepherds out in the field on the night Jesus was born?
15:08
I don't think so. Oh, you're going to like this
15:10
part, Bo, do you want to take over?
15:13
Bo is a shepherd ass. It's been a long time, Woody.
15:16
I don't shepherd much anymore. I'm not sure I can remember at
15:19
all. Give it a try, Bo.
15:21
I'll fill in any details you leave out.
15:23
Well, OK, the shepherds were out at night watching their sheep
15:28
when they were visited by an Angel that told them about the
15:31
birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. Nobody ever talked to shepherds.
15:35
They were dirty and smelly. The guy shepherds, that is.
15:39
I knew that. Needless to say, when the angels
15:41
appeared to them, they realized that God loved them and had a
15:44
good plan for their lives along with the rest of the world.
15:49
Oh, cousin Larry, I love this job.
15:52
Shepherding the chip at night with this big stick Mr. Chipman
15:56
gave us. The best part about this job is
15:58
we get paid to sleep. That too.
16:01
But I really like this Dick 123456789.
16:09
Elke, what are you doing? I'm counting cheap 10/11/12
16:14
Balki. If you're having trouble
16:15
sleeping, I have some sleeping pills you can take.
16:19
I don't have troubles falling asleep, Cosen, Larry.
16:21
I'm just counting the Jeep to make sure they're still here
16:24
13/14/15. Balki, you go to sleep and I'll
16:30
finish counting the sheep. Do you mean that Cosen, Larry?
16:34
Of course I do. Now, how many sheep are we
16:37
supposed to have? 365.
16:41
Are you kidding me? What's the matter, cousin?
16:44
You can't count that high. Of course I can.
16:47
You go to sleep. 16171819. 365 Balki wake up.
17:04
Cousin, are the cheap OK? I don't.
17:07
Care about the sheep. Look, do not be afraid.
17:11
I come in peace. I bring you good news of great
17:15
joy for everyone. Tonight in Bethlehem, the Savior
17:20
is born. Oh wow, that is.
17:23
Good news. That's a wonderful news.
17:26
Who's the savior? I.
17:28
Don't know. Just smile and act, please.
17:31
We. Don't want to upset him.
17:33
Look, fellas, God sent me here to tell you he's not mad at you.
17:38
In fact, he loves you and he wants to bless you with all good
17:41
things. So he sent his son Jesus to show
17:45
you the way to a better life, A life with God.
17:49
Glory to God in the highest and on earth, peace, goodwill toward
17:55
men. Did you hear that, Balki?
17:58
Well, of course I did. Don't be ridiculous.
18:02
God loves us. Cousin, it's awesome to think
18:05
that God who created this wonderful earth and these
18:08
wonderful Jeep things, we are wonderful too.
18:12
Come on Balki, we've got to get to Bethlehem and thank this baby
18:16
for coming. He's going to change our lives.
18:19
But what about the Jeep? Forget the sheep.
18:23
Come on. Do you think God has a plan for
18:32
me? Of course he does, Forkey.
18:34
He's a good God. Isn't that right, Beau?
18:37
Yes, he has a good plan for you. When Jesus died on the cross,
18:41
God used him to defeat all the works of the devil.
18:43
He. Did.
18:44
Yes, he did. God wants us to be healthy,
18:48
strong, bold and prosperous. He wants us to be blessed so
18:52
that we can bless others. God send Jesus so that we could
18:56
become children of God for Infinity and beyond.
19:00
Forkey, there you are. You left without telling me.
19:03
I sent Vincent out looking for you.
19:05
Why don't you leave forkey alone?
19:07
Gabby. Gabby.
19:08
He wants to learn about Jesus. You got my name right, Woody.
19:11
Thank you. I want to learn about Jesus too.
19:14
You do? Yes, I do.
19:16
That's why I came back. I thought you came back to take
19:18
forkey. You said you sent Vincent out
19:20
looking for him. I just wanted to make sure he
19:23
was safe. He's just a spork, you know?
19:25
Yeah, I know. And there's a blue bear and a
19:28
yellow chicken running around that like to pick on little
19:30
toys. Those guys are harmless.
19:33
Vincent, on the other hand, now he looks mean.
19:36
Oh no. I've seen mean.
19:39
Sarge, tell us about the wise men and that wicked king.
19:42
What's his name? Herod.
19:44
If you look up mean in the dictionary, his picture is
19:47
there. That mean huh?
19:49
King Herod tried to kill baby Jesus.
19:51
Oh no. Why would anyone want to kill a
19:55
baby? The devil wanted to kill Jesus
19:57
because Jesus was sent to destroy his evil works on the
20:00
earth. He used King Herod to send
20:02
soldiers to Bethlehem to find Jesus.
20:04
How did King Herod know about Baby Jesus?
20:07
Wise men from the East came to visit him one day.
20:13
King Herod, thank you for seeing us.
20:15
To what do I owe the pleasure? It's not every day that three
20:18
wise men from the East pay a visit.
20:20
Well, we need to ask directions. Our GPS has stopped working.
20:25
GPS. God plays Star.
20:28
We have been following it for quite some time now, but tonight
20:31
it is hidden by clouds. Why would anyone follow a star?
20:34
Do you not know? The scriptures say when the
20:37
Christ child is born a star will appear in the sky.
20:40
The star has LED us this far. We know we are close.
20:43
We are hoping you have heard of His birth.
20:44
Why would I care about a Christ child?
20:47
He is the king of kings. We have come with gifts to
20:50
worship him. Surely you have heard of him?
20:52
A king, you say? I will have to consult my scribe
20:56
about this. I know nothing of a newborn King
20:59
Scribe. Yes, Your Majesty.
21:02
These fine men tell me of a scripture about a king being
21:05
born. Is that right?
21:07
Well, I'll have to look. It's a prophecy about the coming
21:11
Messiah. You don't say.
21:13
Give me a minute to Google through the manuscripts.
21:15
Bear with me a moment. My fingers aren't as fast as
21:19
they used to be. There was a time I could search
21:22
through these like a racehorse. Oh, there it is.
21:25
The Messiah is to be born in Bethlehem.
21:29
Bethlehem. Well, we thank you for your
21:31
time. Hold up, you said.
21:33
A star appeared in the sky the night he was born.
21:36
Yes, about two years ago. Two years, you say?
21:40
I'm embarrassed for not knowing about this great event.
21:43
Please, when you find this boy, bring me news of his whereabouts
21:46
that I may worship him too and give him a gift as well.
21:51
What gifts did you bring him, if you don't mind my asking?
21:54
Gold, frankincense and myrrh. Oh well, I was thinking of a
21:58
gold rattle, of course. The wisest thing you could ever
22:01
bring to the Savior is your Heart King Herb.
22:05
Yes, of course I will anxiously await your return.
22:12
So the king of the Jews is born in Bethlehem.
22:16
Well, when those not so wise men return to tell me his
22:19
whereabouts, I will have the little toddler killed.
22:23
I alone am king. Your Highness, what if they do
22:27
not return with his whereabouts? Then I will go after every boy
22:32
in Bethlehem under the age of 2. He.
22:39
Is. Meme.
22:41
So what happened? God told the wise man not to
22:44
return to Herod. Meanwhile, an Angel warned
22:47
Joseph in a dream, so they fled to Egypt in the night.
22:50
They got out just in time. Well, I'm very happy for them.
22:55
It was a wonderful story. Sounds as though their ending is
22:58
a happy one. Good for them.
23:00
I'm glad someone's ending is happy.
23:02
Are you OK? What's wrong?
23:05
Gabby. Gabby.
23:06
It's my voice box. It's not working.
23:10
Oh no, she'll end up in the. Return pile Woody.
23:13
Do something. What can I do?
23:16
You can pray. That's right.
23:18
I can pray. Gabby, I'm going to pray for
23:21
your voice box. Oh.
23:23
This is exciting. What's pray?
23:26
Pray for my heart first, Woody. I want Jesus to forgive me of my
23:30
sin and live in me like He lives in you, Me.
23:33
Too. Me too.
23:33
Me too. Bo.
23:36
Could you? Woody, you can do it.
23:40
Forky Gabby, repeat after me. Dear God, Dear God, I believe
23:45
you sent Jesus. I believe you sent Jesus to die
23:49
on the cross, to die on the cross for my sins.
23:53
For my. Sins Jesus come live in my
23:56
heart. Jesus, come live in my.
23:58
Heart I make you the boss of my life, I make you the.
24:02
Boss of my life. In Jesus name.
24:05
In Jesus name Amen. Amen.
24:08
Now, God, I know you have a good plan for Gabby's life.
24:12
What the devil means for harm, you turn it around for good.
24:16
I love you. Yes, God, we love you.
24:20
Thank you that Gabby is healed by Jesus stripes.
24:23
She's healed, Woody. Sickness is part of the curse
24:26
that Jesus redeemed us from. It's time for a Tea Party.
24:30
Will you join me? Can you let me finish praying
24:33
first? Woody, Her voice box works.
24:36
Already. Thank you, Woody.
24:38
I'm as good as new. I'm better than you.
24:41
It's a miracle. You prayed for her.
24:44
What did you expect? Well, yeah, I know, but God
24:48
answers prayer. This is going to be the best
24:54
Christmas I ever had. I can't wait to dig into a
24:59
pumpkin pie. EW.
25:01
What's the matter, Jesse? Don't you like pumpkin pie?
25:04
Yes, but the thought of you sticking your face in it turned
25:08
my stomach. Can I give you a hug, Woody?
25:12
Sure. I've learned something today.
25:15
Life is only worth living if you're loving God while living
25:18
it. Amen.
25:20
I'm getting back on my shelf so somebody will buy me and I'll
25:23
have a home to live in this Christmas.
25:25
Good idea. The store will be opening again
25:27
in a few minutes. Come on everyone, back on the
25:30
shelves. Bo, it was a friendly hug.
25:38
You're not jealous, are you? You know there would never be
25:42
another girl in my life. But you do.
25:44
You mean that of? Course I do.
25:46
Now, come on, let's get in our places.
25:49
I was so very proud of you for praying like you did.
25:52
That was nothing. You should see me praying over
25:54
my food. Hey, are you hungry?
25:57
Hams got some food over on aisle 9.
25:59
Something called a chicharon. Chicharon Woody, do you know
26:03
what that is? Never heard of it.
26:05
It's pigskin. Ham.
