Part 1: The Switch Is OnScreen shot 2011-08-05 at 4.25.12 PM

“Merry Christmas, everyone!” Ed Sullivan is here, in his oddly decorated living room set, to read a story to the children. He introduces the main characters — the elves in Santa’s workshop, and the mean Frackles who live in a secret cave right underneath the shop…Screen shot 2011-08-05 at 4.25.16 PM

“At the North Pole, in that special place where Santa Claus lives, it was the day before Christmas, the most exciting day of the year — and everything was going beautifully.”

The elves are all busy at their work stations, making toys. Santa enters, with a cheery good morning. “It’s time for the morning meeting!” The elves do a roll call: Zippety! Skippety! Hoppity! Bing! Bong! and Fred.Screen shot 2011-08-05 at 4.25.20 PM

To start off the meeting, Santa shows off some magic — the disappearing coin trick. He does a few passes with his hands.

Hoppity


Wowww! The coin magically disappeared!
Fred


Yeah, and another coin magically appeared on the floor!
Elves


Yeah!
Santa


I’ll keep working on it.Screen shot 2011-08-05 at 4.25.23 PM

Speaking of that, tonight is Christmas Eve, so we have lots of work to do. Here are the assignments for today: Zippety, you work on toy airplanes!

Right.
Santa


Skippety, you’re on baseball bats.

Okay!
Santa


Hoppity, electric trains…

Gotcha!
Santa


Bing and Bong, the fuzzy toy kittens…
B & B


Sure!
Santa


Fred, the baby dolls.
Fred


Great!
Santa


Got that?
Elves


Check!
(The elves break into song.)
Zippety


I’ll paint the planes…
Skippety


I’ll wrap the bats…
Hoppity


I’ll set the trains…
B & B


We’ll comb the cats.
Fred


I’ll fix the dolls so each one cries.
Santa


While you do that, I’ll supervise.
Hoppity


Good idea!
Elves


We’re happy little Christmas elves.

We never are forlorn.

We fill up all of Santa’s shelves

For the kiddies Christmas morn.

Santa


They’ll build a lot of pretty toys

For all the little girls and boys.

Elves


We’re… Zippety! Skippety! Hoppity! Bing! Bong!
Fred


… and Fred.

“Yes, it was the day before Christmas, and Santa was getting ready to deliver his presents. But other people were getting ready to stop him…”
