You're not mistaken, Luna. See, I was expecting a storybook in the mail, but I got. Doc Hogg's cookbook instead. But Jeremiah finally brought the new book.

You know, some people think that sleeping doesn't matter, but the truth is, sleep is very important because sleep gives your body and your brain the rest it needs. So you can be strong and do things. Why; without sleep, you'd be like a car. [an animated car appears, passing in front of him; suddenly, smoke sputters from the back of the car] That runs out of gas. And you know, everyone thinks sleeping is easy, but the truth is, we all have to learn how to get to sleep. Oh yeah. And sometimes it isn't as easy as it looks but if you just surf off to bed and let go of the day, you know, stop worrying, stop thinking, before you know it, you'll take a trip to dreamland in no time.

Bear

[to Doc Hogg & Jeremiah Tortoise] We have to keep our voices down because Ojo's asleep in the living room and Tutter's asleep here in the kitchen.

Don't worry about us, Bear. [eyes pop, covers his mouth] We'll be as quiet as mice just like Tutter.

Bear

That's a tough one but it turned out all right because Tutter and I decided to have our own game of cards tomorrow.

Bear

[as the word "Holidays" appears] Since time began, people everywhere have celebrated some kind of winter holiday. And the Winter holidays are great! It's when family and friends get together to celebrate the season and be close to each other. And there are all kinds of winter holidays celebrated all over the world. Like, for example, some people celebrate Chanukah with a menorah! [the word "Chanukah" appears, with nine animated candles of the Menorah] And some people celebrate Kwanzaa with a kinara. [the word "Kwanzaa" also appears with an animated feast and seven candles over a shape of an elephant] And some people celebrate Christmas with a Christmas tree! [the word "Christmas" appears with an animated Christmas tree] And we Bears celebrate the season with the Winter Berry. [the animated berry appears, then looks around, facing closer] The Winter berry is a special berry that only grows once a year and everyone tries to find it. But the best thing about the holidays, no matter which one you celebrate, is that the holidays are for everybody! And with you here in the Big Blue House, we can celebrate everything!

[seeing that Doc Hogg cosplayed Santa Claus] Doesn't he look familiar?

To our ancestors: Harambe! Let's all pull together! [raises the royal cup]

♪ Light a candle for each day ♪

[focusing the Kinara with a match] Today is Kuumba, the day of creativity.

This is fruit and corn on the mkeka mat.

Bear

The creature was stirring... [looks back] Not even a mouse. [turns off living room light switch]

♪ I have a little dreidel ♪

We thank you!

♪ With legs so short and thin ♪

Can't have everything!

♪ And when he gets all tired ♪

Whew! Boy, am I tired of spinning!

♪ It drops and then I win! ♪ [cues the gimmel symbol on dreidel's forehead]

Gimmel! Winner takes all!

Bear

And by the way...

Happy Holidays! [shouting farewells]

Can't be a Woodland Valley firefighter without the hat, Bear. [chuckles]

Bear

Yes, I know, Doc. Hey, I bet you didn't know that Doc and I are volunteer firefighters.

But Bear, where will we get our books now?

[sighs] We'll never go to the library again.

The library was my favorite place.
