Elmo Saves Christmas (1996 Video)

Caroll Spinney: Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch

Quotes 

• Big Bird : Oh, Snuffy's been spending Christmas Day at Granny's for a whole year. Every night, I hope that Christmas will end and he'll come back but every morning, I wake up and it's still Christmas.

  Maria : I know how you feel, Big Bird.

  Big Bird : Now I'm beginning to believe I'll never see him again, Never!

  [sobbing] 

  Elmo : What's wrong with Big Bird?

  Big Bird : Oh, nothing. I'm just never gonna see my best friend again. That's all.

  [sobbing] 

  Elmo : What's that? What's Luis doing?

  Maria : He's closing up the Fix-it-Shop for good.

  Elmo : No! You don't want to close the Fix-it-Shop. Elmo didn't want that.

  Maria : [sobbing]  Well, we can't work on Christmas and since it's Christmas everyday, we can't work at all.

  Lightning : But, what will you do?

  Maria : That's a very good question.

  Luis : Well, that's that. Goodbye, Fix-it-Shop.

  Maria : [sobbing]  Come up to our place for a cup of birdseed, Big Bird and we'll talk some more.

  Elmo : [to Lightning as Luis takes the crying Big Bird and Maria inside]  Elmo thought Christmas everyday would make people happy, Lightning. But it's making them sad. The Fix-it-Shop is closed. Big Bird is crying. Nobody is celebrating. And the Count says that Christmas isn't special anymore because it's everyday. Maybe Santa's right.
