[instrumental music]
Alright, we got Nicky, Alex,
D.J., Stephanie
and Santa's favorite
little helper Michelle.
Uncle Jesse, I got a problem.
Lay it on me, babe.
I don't know about
that stocking.
What's the matter with it?
It's a beautiful stocking.
Look at this,
it says "Michelle"
it's a great stocking.
It's okay, but
this would be better.
Who's stocking is this,
Bigfoot's?
What can I say I've been
very good this year.
Yay.

Beck, it's
snowing outside.
Quick, grab your galoshes
get a shovel
I think we're snowed in.
Brr. I'm-I'm freezing.
Lemme break it to you
gently, Mr. California
this is not snow.
This is gunk from a can.
Then I say we go out and build
frosty the gunkman, then, huh?
Somehow, it's just
not the same.
Honey, I'm never going to get
used to Christmas without snow.
Yeah, that's okay,
sweetheart.
Don't worry,
I never thought I'd get
used to Elvis
without sideburns.
When did he
not have sideburns?
Sixty-one through sixty-eight.
It made my preschool
years living hell.
Alright, come on, 'Cilla,
I think the living room
could use some
hunk-a hunk-a snowy gunk.
Steve, tell me already.
What's the big surprise?
Okay, I'll tell you.
Incredible news.
The greatest thing
just happened to me.
You inherited
a Dunkin' Donut shop?
That would be great.
No. No. I got accepted
to college.
Steve, congratulations!
Oh. What school?
It's in Florida
Daytona Beach University.
And I double-checked.
They actually saw my grades.
Really? Florida.
All the way over
by that other ocean.
Yeah.
Fantastic.
Oh, it's awesome,
Deej.
A four-year college,
and here look.
Check out
the school motto.
"Who says you can't learn
at the beach?"
- Inspiring.
- Cool.
I got to go tell my parents.
Then we'll celebrate, okay.
God, I can't believe
I'm gonna be a college man.
I'm finally gonna learn
how to water-ski!
[door opening]
[door closing]
D.J., come on.
Dad and Joey just drove up
with the Christmas tree.
It's big, it's green,
and it didn't fall off the car.
I'm gonna have to see it later.
But, Deej,
we're putting up the tree.
It's a Tanner family tradition.
You can't miss that!
Sorry, I have some
last minute shopping to do.
Shopping? Uh, well,
it's just a tree.
Did I mention
I look great in purple?
[door closing]
Right this way, boys.
Okay, coming through,
here we go.
Joey, be careful, I don't want
get any pine needles
and pine sap
on my floor.
Then a pine tree
was a good choice.
Well, what a beautiful tree.
It remains me back in Nebraska,
we'd hike into the woods
chop down the perfect tree
and then carry it back
over a blanket
of freshly fallen snow
laughing and drinking
homemade hot cider.
Yeah, well, we grabbed
this sucker at a 7-Eleven
and chugged back
a couple of big gulps.
Aw, Joe, you're making me
feel all Christmassy.
Don't worry, Beck.
Hey, you know what?
You never know. I mean, Jack
Frost could take a wrong turn
and dump a whole blizzard
in your backyard.
[scoffing]
Yeah, right.
When Santa goes surfing.
Okay, I'll get the rest
of the decorations for the tree.
Great idea, the sooner
we decorate this thing
the sooner we can start
cramming those gifts under it.
That's the spirit.
I hope Santa brings me
that new Barbie doll.
Michelle, Michelle,
Michelle.
You don't just ask Santa
for a Barbie doll.
I know that, that's why
I asked for a hula hoop
and a dollhouse,
and another hula hoop
in case the other one gets lost.
Now, you got it!
Oh, in case the big guy in red
should miss a few items
I've updated
my Christmas list
in my never ending quest
to make your holiday shopping
more pleasurable.
Oh, that's very
considerate of you, Steph.
You even added
a color-coded map of the mall.
Girls, brace yourselves,
but there is more to Christmas
than just presents.
That's true. You can also
return them for cash.
Nice sentiment, Steph.
I think you ought to phone
that one in to Hallmark.
You know what, girls, you just
gave me a really good idea
for the perfect gift
for you guys this year.
Perfect gifts? That'll be items
one through nine on your list.
No, no, no. This gift you're not
gonna find on any list.
I forgot something?
- I must be slipping.
- Okay, Joey.
Lets plug this in and see
if any of these bulbs
need replacing, okay?
- Okay.
- There we go.
Well, apparently,
this one is fine.
[instrumental music]
[indistinct chattering]
You know, Santa could've
saved himself $39.95
if he'd just gotten the boys
wrapping paper and boxes.
Okay, here we go, fellas.
Come on, we're going
for a ride.
Here we go.

Sweetheart,
I really love the earrings
but what do I need
mittens for?
Well, you never know
when they might come in handy.
You could have
a bad nail day.
Here's the last present.
Whose name starts with "V?"
If those are roller blades,
just call me Vivian.
Easy there,
sticky fingers.
This is for Vicky
and I'd like it kept
right over here, please.
Yeah, too bad she had
to work on Christmas.
Well, what can I do,
you know Vicky's a reporter
and the news doesn't stop
for holidays.
Uh, I feel bad for her too.
You know, she's covering
elections in Sweden.
So, that's it?
No, more presents?
Didn't
a certain uncle
promise us
a perfect gift?
- Hmm?
Yes, he did.
- Yay!
But it's not here.
- Oh.
'Cause it's too big.
- Hooray!
If it's a elephant,
I'll call him Phil.
Sweetheart,
if it's an elephant
it'll sleep
in Joey's room.
Look, Uncle Jesse has something
really special planned for ya
to give you the real meaning
of Christmas.
Alright! We're going
to Toys"R"Us!
Wrong "R" you.
We won't miss
the Christmas party, will we?
Oh, you'll be home in plenty
of time to see me play Santa.
Look, I'm gonna try
a new "ho ho ho" this year.
How about Jerry Lewis?
Ho ho ho, lady!
Flaymin'!
[laughing]
Okay.
- Hey, guys.
- 'Hi.'
- Merry Christmas.
- Hey.
- Hi.
Hey, fruitcake.
- It's Joey to you.
- Thanks.
Deej, I couldn't wait
to give you your present.
Open mine, first.
Okay. Thanks.
Wow! This is that leather jacket
I saw at the mall.
God, this is so expensive,
you know
Deej, I didn't spend all
that much on your present.
I thought
we had an agreement.
Oh, it doesn't matter
how much you spent.
I love you, and I wanted to get
you something you'd love.
I don't expect anything
special in return.
It's just a Daytona Beach
University sweatshirt.
I hope you like it.
Maybe I should've sprung
for the sweatpants too.
Deej?
(Steve)
'Deej?'
[knocking on door]
Steve, how could you?
D.J., I'm really sorry,
it's all I could afford.
- I'm savin' up for college.
- I know.
Daytona Beach University.
Don't you get it?
It's not about the gift.
What's gonna happen to us?
You're going to school
3,000 miles away.
Well, don't worry,
I worked it all out.
We'll call each other
every night
and I'll see you
on school holidays.
Oh, great. So we'll be together
on Thanksgiving, Christmas
and Spuds MacKenzie's birthday.
Deej, we gonna make this work.
This my shot to go to college.
But, you're selling
yourself short.
It's just a party school.
Oh, well, that's easy for you
to say, you're a brain.
I mean, sometimes
you even read for fun.
I'm lucky
I got in anyplace.
Well, congratulations.
Beach blanket U.
Yeah, thanks for your support.
I..
...I thought you'd be
happy for me.
Well, why should I be
happy for you?
You don't even
care about us.
Hey, I do, too,
care about us.
Oh, yeah, I can tell
by your Christmas gift.
Who asked you to blow your whole
bank account on my present?
What were you trying to do,
bribe me to stay?
I can't believe you
just said that.
Hey, if the jacket fits,
wear it.
Oh, you know what, I'm glad
you're going to Florida.
- Oh, yeah? Me too.
- Good.
Merry Christmas.
[instrumental music]
[indistinct chattering]
[gasping]
Look, you guys. Look.
What did D.J. get you?
[gasping]
Look at this!
Ooh! Snow domes!
Snow!
Yes! See?
[screaming]
Snow!
I know.
Look, it's Santa
all covered in snow.
And you see the little snowman?
Oh, and look, look, look!
Look at the snow
falling down
on the happy children!
Stay in
that bubble, kids
where every
Christmas is white.
Uh, boys, say, "thank you"
to D.J. for the nice gift.
Thank you,
Dee-jeh.
You're welcome.
How about
a Tasmanian Devil Santa?
[mimicking Taz]
Ho ho ho!
Donner, Blitzen!
Well, what do you think?
Boy, if Vicky were here,
she sure would love my eggnog.
Well, thanks
for the input.
[doorbell ringing]
I'm gonna go change.
Deej! Sorry about
you and Steve breakin' up.
Hang in there.
I heard the first three hours
are the toughest.
Well, I'm trying not to think
about him but he keeps calling.
Six times I wouldn't talk to
him, four times I hung up.
That way, I mix it up
a little.
It's time to get on
with your life.
That's why I took the liberty
of bringing a little something
to help brighten your holiday.
The wrestling team!
Come on in, boys.
Food's on the house.
Come on in.
Make yourselves at home.
A 1,000 pounds of fresh
grade-A Gibbler certified beef.
Kimmy, what
are you doing?
I'm getting you back
into circulation.
Boys, you know D.J.
She broke up with Steve and she
is not even thinking about him.
Yeah, it's true.
Steve and I broke up.
And as far as
thinking about him..
...nothing could be
further from my mind
than old what's his name.
Steveball..
Uh, cheese balls?

Daddy, we're home!
Uh, come here.
How'd your surprise
Christmas trip go?
Well, they were
definitely surprised.
Uncle Jesse took us to
a shelter for homeless people.
I know,
what'd you think?
Dad, there were so many
people there.
Not just grownups.
Kids too.
When I saw them,
it made me feel sad.
It's okay to feel sad, Michelle.
Those people are
in a lot of trouble.
It was hard at first
but then we put up decorations
and helped serve
Christmas dinner.
You guys were really great.
You really pitched in.
I'm a very proud
uncle today.
I put out the napkins.
And everyone
sang Christmas carols.
Uncle Jesse was a big hit
playing the piano.
Uh, yeah, 'cause I snuck in
a special holiday version
of "Hound Dog."
I hope we helped make
their Christmas better.
I wanna go back there
and help real soon.
Steph, when you I hear you come
up with an idea like that
you just make me so proud.
Come here.
You know what, Steph,
you're right.
This isn't just
a Christmas thing.
This should happen
all year round.
If more people in the world
would helped out
like you guys just did, it could
really make a difference.
I'm sorry we went
so present-crazy.
Uh, it's okay, I remember
when I was your age
I bugged my dad for
an Evel Knievel jumpsuit.
Why?
Because I already
had the helmet.
Anyway, he took me down
to the Salvation Army.
I'll tell you something,
it made me feel so good
to see you guys faces today
because that's exactly
how I felt.
And I never forgot
that feeling.
And I never want you guys
to forget that feeling, okay?
Merry Christmas, girls.
Thanks for our
Christmas present, Uncle Jesse.
Alright, now,
if you guys excuse me
I have one more
very important present
to take care of.
Now, if we go into
the living room, there
I think there might still be
a couple of cookies
with your names on 'em.
Good thing I'm learning to read!
And then
Steve said..
Well, I can't say it
like he says it
but..
Where was I?
Oh, right. Steve.
You know, it's amazing.
When you break up
with someone like Steve
you'd think you'd be obsessed
with talking about Steve.
But, it's really not like that,
I mean, Steve who?
- How am I doing?
- Save your voice.
Just tattoo "I miss Steve"
on your forehead.
Now, let me show you
how to land a stud.
My mom uses this mistletoe
to chase Tom Jones
through Caesar's Palace.
Okay, boys,
gather around!
Two lips,
no waiting.
Oh, come on.
Don't be shy.
Miles, you animal!
Ew, gross!
Here, Deej, maybe
you'll have better luck.
I'm not ready for this.
Sweetheart?
You okay?
Terrific. I'm having
a great Christmas.
Really, 'cause that's
the same look Joey had
when they canceled
"Magilla Gorilla."
How could Steve go to
college in Florida?
We never even
talked about it.
Oh, Deej, you remember
how concerned you were
when Steve couldn't even
get into college.
This could be
a great opportunity for him.
I know, but he's going
so far away.
What's gonna happen to us?
Hey, long distance
relationships are not easy
but Vicky and I
are making it work.
If you and Steve really care
about each other
you'll make it work too.
That's what Steve said.
Look, the phone bill's
gonna be a monster
but it'll balance out
with what we save
on food for Steve.
Dad, he hurt me so much.
He said I gave him that jacket
to buy his love.
Well, did you spend
all your money on it
because you thought it might
show how much you care about him
so he'd decide not to leave?
Of course not. I bought it
to show how much I love him
so he'd decide
not to leave.
Maybe it's close
to what you said.
Okay, maybe, it's exactly
what you said.
I really messed up.
Do you think he'll ever
talk to me again?
Well, honey,
you know, uh
only one way
to find out.
Santa is here!
Not the real Santa,
just Joey.
But don't tell anyone!
It's his answering machine.
Why didn't I talk to him
when I had the chance?
Maybe you didn't hear me
it's the big jolly guy!
Come on, sweetie.
Ho ho ho!
Ha ha ho.
See? I told you.
Ho ho ho!
Not your best "ho ho ho," Joey.
[doorbell ringing]
I'll get it!
I'm with you.
Ho ho ho!
Wow! Two Santa's!
Told you
I was good this year.
I'll get this,
honey.
Hi.
I'm Danny Tanner.
Don't tell me
your sled broke down.
You really ought to rotate
those reindeer.
Whoa, look, I know the north
pole is lonely, buddy, but--
Merry Christmas, sweetheart.
Vicky!
Oh, that lip gloss
should've tipped me off.
[laughing]
Hey, look, everybody.
Vicky's here!
(all)
Hi, Vicky.
[sighing]
Oh, what are you doing here?
You're supposed to be in Sweden.
I was, way up at the Arctic
Circle but as soon as I finished
I took a dog sled 40 miles
to the nearest train station
rode overnight to the airport,
rented a Santa Claus suit
jumped on the last flight
to San Francisco
and arrived 20 minutes ago.
Wow! 20 minutes
from the airport.
You made great time.
Come here.
You know, Joey, I wish you
really were Santa Claus
then I'd ask you
to bring me Steve
so I could apologize to him.
I was so selfish.
I should be happy
he got into college.
Ho ho ho!
Or as Daffy Duck would say
[mimicking Daffy Duck]
Ho ho ho!
All you wonderful
t-t-than franthiscans!
- Santa.
Yeah, Santa.
This Santa thing
is outta control.
[mimicking Daffy Duck]
Well, well, well
it seems as though there's
an impos-s-ster amongst us.
Wait.
If that's Joey
then who are you?
Steve!
[mimicking Daffy Duck]
S-s-s-some S-S-Santa Claus!
Deej, I'm sorry, but
this is the only way
I could get you to talk to me.
Why didn't you
tell me it was you?
Well, Santa never interrupts
an apology.
Well, I'm really sorry.
Yeah, me too.
I got so pumped up about
getting into the college
that I didn't even think
about your feelings.
No, you were right.
We'll make this work no matter
how far apart we are.
Well, we're not gonna
be far apart.
I'm gonna stay in town
and go to
junior college
and improve my grades.
Then maybe I can
get into a really good school.
Oh, Steve,
I love you.
I love you too.
(all)
Aw!
Excuse me. Hey, everybody,
I have an announcement.
There's a very special delivery
in the backyard
for Mrs. Rebecca Donaldson
Katsopolis.
Jess, another gift?
Yeah, it's just a little
something that wouldn't fit
in your stocking.
Alright, guys.
She's crossing
though the kitchen..
...she's opening
the back door.
We should
get a reaction right about..
(Rebecca screaming)
'Aah!'
Now.
♪ Walk within
a winter wonderland ♪
Jess,
this is so beautiful.
Thank you.
Oh, thank you so much.
How in the world
did you do this?
Oh, it's no big deal.
Just your everyday,
average miracle, that's all.
I told you
you'd need these.
Merry Christmas,
sweetheart.
Merry Christmas.
Come on.
How did you do this?
Well, I don't like
to explain my miracles
but if I must
see, I know this guy
who makes snow cones
and I just ordered
17,000 of them.
Ohh!
Snow!
Wow! Look at this!
[indistinct chattering]
Hey, can you say
"White Christmas?"
Can you say
"White Christmas?"
Whyt-ker-kiss.
Are we going to talk about it
or play in it?
- Yay!
