a fraction of its length.

(Children laughing)

I'd say that's

about half, right?

So, if I took it and cut

right here, it would be...

All together now!

- (Children):

One fourth!

- By George,

I think they've got it!

(School bell ringing

and children laughing)

All right, so, remember,

Christmas vacation

starts next week,

so you have exactly 2 days

to pick your holiday

project.

It can be an experiment

or a paper

or a plan to change the world!

Think bold!

Think big, people!

Hey! Nice to see you again.

- Thanks! That was an

interesting demonstration.

- Yeah, well, anything

to get the point across.

- What is the point of

the holiday project?

- My mom's a reporter.

She was born to ask

questions.

- It's OK. The point

of the project

is to teach the kids

creative thinking.

- Well, I think your

creative approach to math

has turned your $20 tie into

a penny worth of scraps.

- Well, you obviously don't

write for the style section,

'cause it was a $6 tie!

- Oh!

Tell me it went better today.

- Today was better.

- Really?

- No! But you told

me what to say.

- Spill it.

- OK.

This reindeer sweater, bad idea.

( Choir singing

The First Noel on radio

I also heard a nasty rumour

from the lunch lady

that the town's

tree-lighting

ceremony was canceled!

- Yeah, I'm actually writing

an article about it.

I was gonna tell you today.

- So it's true?

Remember back home,

the tree-lighting ceremony

in Nelson Square?

Practically the whole

town got together!

- Yeah.

- I really miss all that.

- Yeah, I know, buddy.

Me too.

But listen,

uh, you know, this place

is into Christmas.

I mean, hey, look!

Look at that inflatable

reindeer right there, right?

He's giving 20% off

for the holidays, huh?

- Nice try.

- Honey, I'm sorry we

couldn't

find the box of decorations,

but we'll keep

looking tomorrow, OK?

- It's OK.

Good night, Mom!

- Good night, honey.

Sleep tight!

- Now, that was Christmas!

- Clementine!

There you are!

I've been looking

all over for you!

- I'm really worried, Mom.

Things are way worse

than people realize.

Just look at the ornaments!

There's one for every kid

in the world, right?

So we should easily be able

to read by their glow!

But they're totally dim!

- I have to admit,

I've never seen it so dark.

- So someone has

to do something now,

before it's too late!

- I hope by "someone,"

you don't mean you!

- If not me, then who?

- Clementine,

that's what you said

before the glacier fiasco

and the snowplow incident.

- Hey! I'm a problem solver,

and

those roads were very

slushy.

- Everyone appreciates

your contentions,

but you have to admit

you do have a tendency
