 I didn't go to the last room till last night. Great to see you last night. I know I approached her ankle. I heard that howch. We're taking a walk after this. Probably walking the dogs. The sprux says we have to work. I love a daughter dog who says we're last. Oh, what? Why don't you talk to that boy? He's the son of your mom. I'm the son of your mom with this boy. I'm the son of your mom. Oh, thank you very much. Thank you. You can go upstairs. And then we'll go through the read yourself. Jenny is getting slower. It takes a little time. But Scrooge says you can have to work now. I am. Well, I'm not that lazy on my bed. I'm not that lazy on my bed. I'm not that lazy on my bed. Let's do it. Better? Wendy? Bring it up to you. I know you did. I know you did. Isn't that something? Ground roll is not my thing. No. Chuck Eston took it. It's really good, isn't it? Now I love it. We're so glad it wasn't Wendy's. Oh, yes. Thomas William Jones. That's a great Christmas. A view from this. What are you looking towards? Actually, looking from right in front of us. Through those columns. Looking this way. As if you were walking from the green room. Looking at that. This here. Just a Christmas card at the Grand Fourier. Let them figure out from what angle. Yes, I think I will. Alrighty. Best of mine, is it? It's over here. And I can't read anyway. I mean, you know, I can't stand here and read. Okay, now we're going to read it. I'm supposed to read it. Has he done this? Oh, yes, we did it. I mean, he's going to do more of it. I'm going to do George. No. I'll keep it to Ronnie. We'll do George at the last. He did the Godfather already. Ron Brando did a little of that for us. Jimmy Carter? I'm Santa. I'm Santa. Got the jelly beans out there. He keeps adding. And then they kept being more giant. Now this is a... Oh, look at his legs. It's down the rose garden. That's very cute. He really is wonderful. Listen, what happened to this? This goes to the Children's Hospital. This one doesn't go to the Children's Hospital. They make another one. This stays here throughout the season. And I think at the end of the generation, it goes somewhere. That's true. It would be a little stale. Yes, it would. Okay. So we go through all this. And then we go to the East Room. We're going to go to the East Room, though, and we're going to be holding. Right, right. This is one of the best cars. All of that. You want to do the tree now over here and then go to the East Room? Oh, are we supposed to be here? We're on our way to the East Room. Then we've got to come back here. So if you... Oh, well... I want to see the things on the tree. Hello. We're going to be sure to come again. Probably soon. But still Jackie for CBF and John. No, John Cochrane from NBC. It's good. Thank you. It's beautiful. It's always. Perfect. All of you. Show the fire screens there. Yeah. Do you see the one chopping down the tree with the other one on the tree? No. And the... This is actually going to be over there but we don't want to move those ropes. Oh. I must say I didn't want to do this but there was a clause in my contract that said I had to. I don't believe in cover-up. I give up. Who is it? Sam. There he goes again. This is the impression of your husband I loved it the most when he's walking to the helicopter. Speak up, Sam. Same old bag. It gives us a little chance to get... We're right at Christmas dinner here on the 22nd. But it gives us a little chance to get a few boxes in packs. We're... You, I will concern that since you're leaving early so many dozens of staff from a certain service people will be sitting here. I checked them all out and they never said they didn't mind. No, they never said they mind. They never said they mind. No, they never said they mind but they didn't say they didn't. Well, how am I trying to say this? They never said they didn't mind. They never said... It's okay. Yeah. We walk in the park and we've used a lot of a lot of the ornaments that we used in the last Thomas William Jones that he's done for four years now. It's not the same card but it is. And it's this view here. Mary, you're important. Mary, you're important. Mary, you're important. Mary, you're important. 17th. And then I don't know where the... I don't remember a sad... I just wanted to get up there and see the house. Get about... Gentleman being in the trunk. Because it would have created such a stir up there with the neighbors and I don't wanna got him seeing it so I wanted to do it quickly. to do it quickly. Don't just think that's nice of me. Good idea. So we did it quickly and in and out. Parts of the whole idea that somebody in the embassy last evening, given the terrible news, was going to happen. Well, I did. We were sorry we were up for 10 days, but we couldn't come out of it. What are you talking about? As you saw in the picture, you showed us the devastation. It's terrible. It's lower. It's terrible. The whole village just disappeared. I thought we were sitting in the back. You do. You do. Yes, he talked about that. Yes, he was very touched by that, by our offered help and by the American people who had just voluntarily sent in money. Do you know anything? No, I don't. I don't know. We're going to. We didn't want to last time with everybody. Money? I think there's always a common relationship. I think there's a special chemistry between the two men that's grown and has counted for a lot of good things that come about. We're going to do that. It is so warm. I wish I'd had a little more padding. Yeah, you don't look as fat as most of us. No, I think Dom Del Louise was your best friend. I don't know who I am. I'm just not feeling myself. Ho, ho, ho! How do you do? You did a marvelous job. Well, you all know, 69. And each year, he adds a little, he adds more jelly beans. And this year, he added regs. Yeah, he's lifting out the second floor window. How long does it take you to build it? I did it over a period of a week, but on and off. I see the eye, yes. That's the eye in between. That should be cotton candy and onions. That's true. Well, you'll give it to the home. We are, well, a gingerbread house guy. I'll give it to him. Okay. I've never done something before, you know. Have you finished your shopping? No, that's the same. I'm giving it to him. Mark, before you put the crush on the regs here. Yeah, it's going to be the regs. Yeah, it's just the regs. From the 7th to the 8th century. This is always, like here in the White House, it's very special. They'll miss us. If you would throw a party out in California over here, how about a dramatic time to our meeting and expecting the earthquake down? Gee, Sam. I just said, Gee, Sam. You went to Mexico City? I did. Have you considered it? No. These little figures were used, Mrs. Reagan, you wanted to explain these little figures over here? Yeah, you mean the shields. Yeah, I said 70 to 80, 18th century. Can we get you down here, Mrs. Reagan? Hand it to them. They were to keep the heat off the people in the rooms so they wouldn't get too hot or burned or whatever. And then we've got all the little animals that you find in the park, up on the mantles. I mean, don't you think it looks pretty? Good one last year. I know, every year I think so. Eddie, yeah, Deutche, Peter Deutche. Peter Deutche, not Eddie. No, Eddie couldn't make it. Will. I'm pulling in. There's the White House ornament on these tables. Oh, also the hot air balloons. Back there, we have a great big, didn't want you to be left out. There's somebody leaning out. Not as wide as it was last year. I think it's a little prettier, really, you know. But to say it again, the Second Genesis kids also, I should say, without the White House staff and the people from the florist department who have been so wonderful, I never, ever could have done it once, years, ever. And they've been really been wonderful. Here are the decorations they did. They did the balls and the candles. The Second Genesis kids did those, yes. And the hot air balloons. And the little dolls, yes. Do we have a tree in California? Green trees? Just a palm tree. In your house? I don't know. Everything's going to be so full of boxes. I don't know. This time we'll knock it down. We have a press car. There's somebody leaning out of it, shouting. A lot of the things that we've used in past years, we have around here like the teddy bears. Do you have any advice for Mrs. Bush? Does she take some of this duty? Is there anything you found helpful to help you survive the fishbowl in which a First Lady lives and the constant bunch of us tagging after you and the scrutiny? No, it's something you just never are prepared for. And you learn to get used to it. Hope to. Have you yet? Not really, no. Maybe a little bit more. Have you invited Bushes at the quails tonight? Yes. People have come to seem pretty tame after all this. It's not going to be very private. It's never really private. I remember my husband saying to me, if we do this, our life will never be the same. And it isn't really. I'm going to be writing a book. He's going to be writing a book. I'm opening a drug center. He's going to be lecturing. I'm going to be talking on drugs and on cancer. I mean, you know, we're going to be busy. Any thoughts on resuming a movie career? No. How about it as a privilege? No. You might try out for the Ronald Reagan story. What? The last picture you did together? The Hellcats of the Navy, right? Hellcats of the Navy, right? You can do a sequel, Hellcats 2. No, I don't think so. No. Never go back and go forward. What do you think when you see that movie? I think it's a good one. Good movie. That's a good set up. You said you hope for your book. Reagan, do you have any thoughts on resuming a movie? How's that for eight years, if you like the show? Well, it's very cinematic. And it's becoming increasingly so. Kennedy Center almost did the end. Last night, almost did the end. I didn't expect to name a role at the hospital. It's hospital after my son. And all the nice things you said. You know, eight years is a long time. Any regrets? You always have regrets, Helen. You always have regrets. That's part of life. That's part of growing. I can't tell you what I'm talking about. They'll be in the book. I think it's just a book for a beauty. I'd like it to be set straight. Is your mother going to get a hand getting even? Oh my God, that's somebody else's mom. It'd be a pretty book. And you would have written that and sent it on the inside. Many chapters on you, Sam. Many chapters on you, Sam. Is that quite your appetite, open? Don't kill the sale of the fat. You said you and I couldn't have freedom It's not as it was here, constantly. I hope not that they're putting me down the line. Good hotels. Don't really mean that about anyone. You won't believe this. I know. I said that outside. I will miss you. I will. And I wish you all Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. And just goodbye. Thank you. This is for your annual party out there. This one. Many a Santa Claus. And Jack, we had this little girl on my knee and I said, Gee, what a cute little girl. I said, what's your name? She said, Susan. I said, gosh, you're cute. Listen, Susan. Do you want to buy some toy?
