STICK MAN IS LONELY.
STICK MAN IS LOST.
STICK MAN IS FROZEN
AND COVERED IN FROST.
OH, STICK MAN IS WEARY.
HIS EYES START TO CLOSE.
HE STRETCHES AND YAWNS
AND LIES DOWN FOR A DOZE.
- [Choir sings]
- [Bell chimes]
HE CAN'T HEAR THE BELLS
OR THE SWEET-SINGING CHOIR...
[Choir sings]
[Girl gasps and giggles]
...OR THE VOICE SAYING...
Here's a good stick
for the fire.
[Meows]
[Meows]
[Sighs]
STICK MAN IS LYING
ASLEEP IN THE GRATE.
[Meows]
CAN ANYONE WAKE HIM
BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE?

What's that noise up above?
Ha-ha-ha!
IT STARTS AS A CHUCKLE
THEN TURNS TO A SHOUT.
[Man] Ho-ho-ho! Ho-ho!
Oh, I'm stuck.
Get me out.
A stuck man?
[Man] Mm! Urgh! Oh!
Oh...!
A stuck man.
Now, who could that be?

A SHOVE AND A NUDGE,
A HOP AND A JUMP...

...AND SANTA FALLS
INTO THE ROOM WITH A THUMP.
Mm. Ah. Hm.

Oh.
[Sniffs]
FASTER AND FASTER
THEY FLY THROUGH THE SKY...
Hm.
- ...UNTIL SANTA SAYS...
- Only one chimney to go.
[Gasps]
[Wind whistles outside]
STICK LADY'S LONELY.
THE CHILDREN ARE SAD.
[They sigh]
IT WON'T FEEL LIKE CHRISTMAS
WITHOUT THEIR STICK DAD.
THEY TOSS AND THEY TURN
IN THE FAMILY BED.
[She sighs]
[Sleigh bells ring]
- BUT...
- [Crash]
What is that clattering
sound overhead?
[Children gasp]
Someone is tumbling
into our house.
- Is it a bird?
- Or a bat?
Or a mouse?
[Clattering]
[Stick Man grunts]
Or could it...
Yes.
Could it just possibly be...
I'm Stick Man.
I'm Stick Man.
I'm Stick Man.
[They chuckle]
That's me.
And I'm sticking right here
in the family tree.
[He chuckles]
Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho!
[Sleigh bells ring]
