 This is your friend Tim, and today I'll tell you how Jump Jump, the little elf from Holiday House, and I finally succeeded in saving Christmas. Well, just when Mary Holiday, Jump Jump, and the other folks from Holiday House, and I had managed to rescue the reindeer and send them back home to Santa, we had been captured and made prisoners in the Ice Queen's Palace. Now in just a minute, I'll go on with my story. Warned us that she was going to turn us all to ice. Mary Holiday had called to Archie Poggle the Clown to be careful when... Archie Poggle, oh Archie Poggle, look out! Did you do something to help us? Ice except Jump Jump and me. She told me that the Christmas fairy was near. Listen Ice Queen, listen! It is only the voice of the Christmas spirit, but your wonderful fairy doesn't dare show herself in my heart. You're mistaken about that, Ice Queen. Look behind you, there she is! Christmas spirit. You can see your friends here have turned to ice. You melt their hearts which have turned to ice. But the Christmas fairy only smiled and went toward Mary Holiday, who was standing like a statue made of ice. Don't you dare to touch them! Oh look, Jump Jump, the Christmas fairy touched Mary Holiday. And now she's touching Archie Poggle, and sleepy slim, and the bite Archie Poggle... Sleep, ever be afraid Tim, we're all alright. The Christmas fairy has told me that there is something that Ice Queen is afraid of. The Ice Queen? A fairy holiday? Afraid? You are afraid to look at all the faces of the children in your silver screens? Yes, you are. That's right Ice Queen, so you are. I'm not afraid to look at children's faces. You're on the silver screen at once. You looked at the world, Ice Queen. I never waste time looking at human creatures. Haven't you ever watched the children before, Ice Queen? Of course not. I have important things to do. Now the screen is ready to show me whatever I desire. Make it so you have high self, Ice Queen. Very well. Oh silver screen of magic skill, yield thy mirror to my will. Let us see a shop where toys are sold and bought for girls and boys. And there are hundreds of children crowding around the toys. What are they doing? They are looking at toys. Why are they smiling? They are happy. Why are they happy? There will be no Christmas. There are children putting ornaments on a Christmas tree now. And they are laughing. What is that strange light in their eyes? That's the light of happiness, Ice Queen. See the star on top of the Christmas tree? It's shining so brightly. It's brightness hurts my eyes. That star itself is the token of Christmas, which is peace and joy. I can't look at it anymore. In the way the children are smiling, the way their faces are glow with joy. I can't look anymore. I can't look. What? What? What? I can't look at them. Something is happening. Something is happening to my heart. It makes my heart hurt. How can it hurt you to see the children so happy and waiting for Christmas? I don't know. But something in their faces makes me feel as if my heart were... were melting. Now they are singing. How can it hurt them? It hurts my ears, my ears, my ears. They're singing a Christmas carol. Look at the ice cream, Tim. Look at you, Poppy. The ice cream looks different. Do you know what I think? I think the spell is broken. Yes, I think the spell is broken. Yes, and it makes me feel fine. I feel happy. Look, I can even turn a hand spring again. Here I go. The Christmas spirit is one, Tim. The Christmas spirit is one. Look at the ice cream now. She's gazing into the screen of the children around the tree. She's melting all right, Mary Holiday. See? Her heart is melting. She's crying, crying real tears. So she is. The walls of the tower room are changing. Oh, Tim, they're turning from ice into walls of silver. They sparkle like stardust. It's the most amazing thing I ever saw. Oh, how wrong I have been to try to take away from the world something as joyous as Christmas. Let's change the ice queen's name to Snow Queen, shall we? Ice is cold and bitter, but snow is the earth's warm coat in winter. Yeah. The Christmas fairy is standing beside the Snow Queen and they're hand in hand. What's that sound? Oh, come to the balcony and look, Mary Holiday. What is it? I do believe that all of those ice statues that we saw on the plane have come to life. Really? Exactly, really? Yes, come and look. Everyone out there is so happy to be alive and well again. They're dancing and cheering. But how do we get back to the North Pole in a hurry? Oh, there's not much time, you know. We must hurry. I have the wishing star. Your wishing star. You can be with Santa Claus in a very short while. It's so many good wishes to guide you. Things happened so fast I could hardly keep up with it. First, the snow thing took us to where the wishing star was. We all climbed aboard and whisked off. I was really not flying along toward the North Pole. Hurry again and again. Sort of sleepy. The jump jump was jumping on my shoulder. Now the last thing I remember was his little voice saying to me, then the faces of Mary Holiday, Archie Pogli, Sleepy Slim, the poet, and Jump Jump and the others, began to fade slowly away. Oh, I was so tired. I began to dream that I was in the woods near the orphanage again. I thought Mrs. Burns, our matron, was touching me and saying, Oh, Tim, I'm so glad we found you. You've been asleep here in the woods. Of course, what really happened was that Mary Holiday and the others must have taken me to the woods in the wishing star and left me off there close to the orphanage. When I woke up next morning, I was back in my own bed. It was all a bit hazy, but one thing I do know, I really did go to the North Pole and have that wonderful adventure with Jump Jump. I know I did, because that year, when Christmas Eve came around, anyone who doubted my story sure had a big surprise coming, because do you know what happened on Christmas Eve at the orphanage? Well, I've got to keep that last and best part of my story for tomorrow, so be sure and meet me here and I'll tell you just what it was.
