christmas in krummeland christmas candles, snow and a santa claus i am ready now will it soon be christmas eve? here are mom and dad big sister and my little bro all is ready now will santa claus be coming soon? believe you in santa claus?
it will be christmas again with elfs in attic and ris ã l'amande (rice ã la almond) you'll be celebrating christmas with krummerne.krummerne are a happy family. here's dad.he's a teacher and an inventor. mom is so keen on baking. per is crazy about stineand gives her presents. little brother grunk is dad's alarm clock. krumme is a dreamerand he's in love with yrsa.
- hi, yrsa. do you want to go together?- sure. hans and krumme are not friends. stine isn't always easy to figure out. i'm meditating. this is yrsa's mother. desperate times call fordrastic measures. mrs olsen is not crazy about sharingher ceiling with krummerne. the caretaker svendsen is a little bit lazy. 1st december.'we'll never make it'
(eng. subs: julie kragh) i might as well admit it right away.i love christmas. with all the christmas decorations and presentsand santa who comes flying in his sleigh. no matter what, i believe in santa claus. maybe snow had fallen? lots of snow. i was hoping for it, and i had dreamt it. dreams can come trueif you think about it a lot. it just doesn't work every time. on 1st december, you have to put up decorationsand i have kept some.
because it's not always thatmom remembers it's 1st december. it's past 8 o'clock! - it's past 8 o'clock!- how terrible. grunk, you need to get up. i have woodwork classes during the first lesson.i was also late last week. come on, grunk. - krumme, you need to get up!- i am up! stine! we've overslept! - take it easy.- why do we only have one bathroom?
it takes my big sister stineby surprise every morning. now you just need the christmas elf outfit.aren't you a little childish? stine can be really annoying, buttoday, i won't let it get to me. - what are you doing?- putting up christmas decorations. this is the one you madewhen you were in kindergarden. - it's 1st december.- yes, and of course we shall celebrate christmas. - did you forget?- of course not. well, actually, yes i did, krumme. it's okay.we have a whole month.
- i made coffee.- we've overslept a lot. - you hurry up.- you could have let me go first. - then i would have had to wait my whole life.- i am after all a woman. - jens. today's the 1st of the month- yes. bills! bills! bills! no, no, it's 1st december.calender candles. advent calenders. small stockings on the doorswith nice things stuffed inside. - that's a nice calender candle.- i bought that myself. i felt a little sorry for them. it's sunday 1st december.
we have to hurry,otherwise we'll be late for... - it's sunday?- yes. yabadabadu! it is christmas, there is sunand it is sunday. sundays are the worst.they are at home. calm down, mrs olsen.we have to have a peaceful month of christmas. there is no time for neighbour disputes. silent night cranky cow!
- i love you, sunday.- my name is not sunday. what are you doing?weren't we on our way? while you've been in the bathroom,it suddenly became sunday. and i just got ready! - i'll never finish before christmas.- don't worry, we'll make it. - we really need a new sofa.- i got a good idea. you won't make one yourself, right? no one woke me up! it's this way.
- what is it, mrs olsen?- merry christmas, svendsen. - thank you, you too. goodbye.- just a moment, svendsen. - i have something for you.- you shouldn't have. i will set out an extra cup. i have to get to it. grunk shut the lids onlast year's advent calender. - what are you doing?- seeing if there are any envelopes with money. mom almost haveeverything under control you are a invaluable helpin the household, jens krumborg.
dad is probably the one in the buildingwho gets the most window envelopes. he uses a lot of time tryingto find out which ones can wait. will you help me put this up? grunk's advent calender was really nice.i'm sure it can last for many years. now i will open my advent calender! a santa! that's early. when i was a kid,santas didn't show until 20th. - i didn't even think they had santas back then?- back then, santas really existed. tell us more about christmaswhen you were a kid.
it's 1st december! can we have a little peace and quiet! halleluja! now mrs olsen started singing.you must not make her that angry. - that is an impossible task, mom.- you could be more considerate. oh no! i should neverhave bought those play toys. - 25,000! ($5,000) they must be crazy!- it was insane to buy polish tops! it's not tops. it's diabolos.it was such a good business deal. it probably won't be this yearthat we replace the skoda.
- so there won't be any christmas this year?- of course there will be christmas. when i was a boy,we made everything ourselves. your grandpa was a bit ofan inventor and a handyman. he made his own fireworksfor new year's eve. and once he evenblew up the hen house. that was a bit too strong. - then maybe he invented the grilled chicken?- did he also blow up potatoes into potato chips? - did you believe in santa claus?- yes, of course. - do you, krumme?- maybe. sometimes.
good lord, i don't understandall that fuss over christmas. we live in a global village, whereall cultures are equally important. i mean, chinese new years is justas interesting as a heathen christmas party. your great-grandfather lived in the countrysideand he believed in trolls and christmas elfs. - he was a bit of a weirdo.- like dad. he once said thathe had spoken to santa claus. - i don't believe that.- i do. he wrote it down in a book.the one we have in the attic. - what a fairytale.- it's true.
it says so in the book.go and see for yourself. i once visitedhim during december - and every night,we send letters to santa claus. we threw them out of the windowand the wind carried them to greenland. but you had to cite a poem first. when you had cited it, you threwthe letter, and the wind took it. christmas staryou're so far the twinkles, are they for me? do you thinkchristmas comes this year?
and why am i asking you? christmas starwishing far to meet up with santa claus to hear what such a christmas elf can can he make snowinstead of the rain so the road is coveredin snow all day though the grown-upskeep on saying no i believe thatsanta's on his way. and he lives on the inland icein the cold greenland.
but his living room is warm. and santa claus has a chairthat's as big as a throne. he's in charge of christmas, but not christmas food.that's his wife; yulemor (lit. christmas mom). in her kitchen you can findpickle pots with all kinds of things. because she can make christmas foodfrom all over the world on her old stove. then we have the two teasing christmas elfs:nova and stella. but they are not that old.they're less than 300 years. during the whole summer, they sleeptogether with yulemom and yuledad. on 1st december,they have to get up.
but it's hard, because underthe bed lives the bad atmosphere -,- which has glowing eyesand can hiss a lot. but santa claus can chasethe bad atmosphere away. if they oversleep, it meansthere's no christmas spirit here. - can i see that book?- yes. we'll pick it up afterwe've looked at christmas trees. when we get home, i wantto write a letter to santa claus. the keys? - hello, svendsen.- ahh, so you're going out?
i've sprayed with pesticides,so we're going to grandmother's. you feel so clean aftergetting into all the corners. don't you know the feeling? hi, yrsa. did you write to santa,mrs. jensen? if only, we could still be that youngand believe in santa claus. come in, svendsen. happy sunday, mrs olsen. soon there won't be any parts of theceiling where they're supposed to be!
- why is she always that cranky?- mrs olsen is just a little... cranky. do you know what i have? i've made an advent calendar for you. there you are.you can open the first one. come on. there's a piece of paper.read that. and have some of these.they are homemade, you see. "day 1. today we relax and take the day off.
then we are well-rested for tomorrow,where there's a lot to do, svendsen." yes. i thoughtwe should start out slowly. i've signed us up for the competitionfor this year's most beautiful christmas building. it's an excellent occationto fix everything. - may i have some cream, please?- oh, i'm sorry. it's the worst advent calendari've ever gotten. did you say something, svendsen? we must stand togetherand get everything done. you should be thrilledthat i put everything in order.
i wish she was dead.or at least far far away. it's christmas once againand christmas last until the easter(danish trad. christmas song) it's christmas once againand i will make a lot of money stop! wait!what are you doing? who me? nothing. you're cutting down trees. here i am, taking a nice stroll in the forest. aren't you ashamed? don't be upset.my name is amigo.
- hello, amigo.- my name is bent. amigo? that's an unusual name. actually, my name is steen,but i've been to spain for 3 weeks. every night i came into a placewhere they yelled: "adiã³s, amigo!" and then we danced until sunrise.senorita and all of the others. - are you a forest worker?- no, i'm kind of a... i own the forest. - that's why i'm allowed to cut down the trees.- so you're a count? that's exactly what i am.apparently, i can't hide it. - if you own the forest, why do you cut it down?- you have to thin it out.
i love nature, so maybei could get a job in your forest? good idea. - i want this one.- that's an oak tree. it has to be a fir (spruce). it's vandalism against nature. think ofall the innocent trees that must die, - so they can be accumulatedwith stupid christmas decorations. - all of these have to be sold as christmas trees.- when do i start? i have to get back to senorita,but i don't have time these days. - can't we just buy one?- no, we have to cut it down ourselves. are we taking it home with us today?
- i really want a small silver fir.- no, it has to be a big common (norway) spruce. look, jens! my mom tends to forget how low theceiling is when she sees christmas trees. - how can i help you?- we would like to buy that tree. i own the area. - how much is it?- that's my own christmas tree. - is it a real gun?- are you out hunting? no, but i'm keeping an eye onmy trees. there are thieves here. - i guess, we'll have to find another one.- yeah, you'll have to.
- merry christmas.- you too. - i hope he doesn't shoot us.- that's against the law. - you said it was your trees.- he's trying to steal them from me. this is our christmas. i really want to havea good oldfashioned christmas. i don't understand why you endureall this women's repression twaddle. i just want to have a real christmas. according to the chinese calendar,we'll have a troublesome christmas this year -,where the spiritual should be given prideof place. it's the year of the rat.
i finished my letter to santa.come, we have to go and send it. come. - what does it say?- that's a secret. but santa can read it. - come on, dad.- i can't find grandpa's book. we'll just send it out the window. i know i'm too bigto believe in santa claus. but what if he's real. it has now become night krumme is tired, quite
all of the day's been more than long so this is the last song dreams go knock on the door seconds don't tick anymore. head on the pillow,eyes are shut time for the day to cut 2nd december.'or the other way around'.(eng. subs: julie kragh) today, i was sure: it had snowed andthe christmas spirit lay thick in the air. urrgh, too bad.
good morning, krumme.it's seven o'clock. i'm here, dad. good morning.please hurry up. it's christmas soon. it is christmasand we are joyful he's not the one who hasmr jansen during the first lesson. - stine, we need to get up!- it's sunday. woaw, that's pretty. what have we here?for santa claus and santa claus...
... and santa claus and santa claus... are you not ready yet? what about the letters for santa claus? santa claus, santa claus...yes, i can read that myself. throw them out. or do you planto bike to greenland with them? - there's a package for mrs olsen.- but that means i have to ring the door bell. no! you don't throw out mail. - no, don't do it, grunk.- 2nd december. she is up.
how am i supposed toput up with that family?! what the heck is that? grunk!now that does it! grunk! good morning, mrs olsen. this is a letter that says grunk,and it was in my chandelier. hurry up, grunk. - hello, mrs olsen. nice weather.- yes, what a busy morning. - i believe this is yours.- that's my letter for santa.
it was stuck in my chandelier, whichoddly enough still hangs in the ceiling. it is for the best that it hangs there, right. calm down, jens. - is she santa claus?- hardly, grunk. come. - are you still writing letters for santa?- that's grunk. - oh well, he has the right to be childish.- you don't believe in santa claus? no. do you? - yes. sometimes.- i think all the santa stuff is childish. well well, the two love birdsare not going to school today?
mom and dad thought about getting a dog.instead they got stine. and yrsa says i'm childishbecause i believe that -,- santa claus lives on the inland ice.but he does... i think. we overslept.it's 2nd december. be gone! high upon the christmas treewhere the drum is hanging (danish christmas song) good morning, yulle. and happy christmas. is there anything which is notquite good or the other way around? yes. we overslept, yulemom.it's 2nd december.
is it the bad atmopsherethat's hissing under the bed? yes, but now it's gone.so now we can get to work. remember the hat.you can't walk around naked. remember the hat. oh my! the christmas spiritis minus 0. or less than that. that's why we've overslept. the most important is that it's christmas.so now we can really do something. stella! nova! wake up! - is it christmas?- yes, or no.
- that's what we have to ensure.- can i hand out presents down the chimneys? 10, 20, 100, 300. - i'm 300, right?- you're actually only 230. urrgh. i'm still only a teasing christmas elfwith a bad memory and everything. - stop it, nova.- get up with a hop. it's christmas soon. there's not one single letter. no wonder the bad atmospherehas such a good grip. last year, there were so few letters,that there was almost no christmas spirit. - i feel so weak.- sense-non.
i will make a lump of butterwith porridge underneath. what if there will be no letters,then there will be no christmas spirit. then we will turn into grey stable elfsand have to live among rats and mouldy grain. no, yulle!you musn't even think that! and definitely not say it out loadwhen the little ones are listening. listening to what? nothing at all. nothingand even less than that. - where are all the letters?- nowhere. where is nowhere?
you are not the onesdoing invisible things, right? we're not doing it. it is strictly forbidden forteasing christmas elfs and santas. yes, it is. but now,i am going to look in the big book. and it's santa claus' big book don't touch anything. we can skip 1st december. it is year 2221.no, that's way too far. stop that!
go and start the big production - presents, presents, presents!- we are making presents! - stop using all that magic!- just let them. - machine thingy.- makes present plingy. look what busy elfs we arewhen all the christmas presents gifts we finish from are far. all the nicest children get a present and they are made by us, the christmas elfs race cars and a little book a baby doll says "mom"in different language when it's shook
building bricks and a toy parrot a teddy bear in chequered sweaters all things must be gift-wrapped,and delivered and unwrapped. it's a very hard and dema-manding job we can't make it all in time do you even know the date.today is passing by. we will have to speed up from tomorrow. until we smell the roast pork in the oven. spiderman and video games
who is getting what and howis on the list of names we're in trouble, if it blows a fuse 'cause we don't have a lot of extra screws all things must be gift-wrapped,and delivered and unwrapped put more paint in the machine and a piece of plastic thathas holes the size of spleens soon it will become a toy gorilla and all the rest into a barbie villa animals are really popular
we must make a rocking horseand a mynah bird we've run out of all the zebra stripes where's the help when all goes down the drainpipes all things must be gift-wrappedand delivered and unwrapped it's not everything that's fine there are children who willonly wish for calvin klein but we decide the toys. it isn't lies so they can stick thisright into their eyes. thousand presents we must make
red and yellow, green and white,and bluish like a lake christmas is a stressful time of year people loosing hair is what you hear all things must be gift-wrapped and deliveredand be gift-wrapped and delivered and be gift-wrapped and delivered and un-wrapped. good morning. take a look here.what do you say? shouldn't we get started? but it's 2nd december.we should have a cosy time.
- honestly, jansen. we're too old for that.- we've actually decided something. we did?what did you decide? you're so childish. krumme probably has his whole roomfilled with christmas elf decorations. - do you believe in santa claus?- that's none of your business. last year, you allwrote a letter to santa claus. we have to celebrate christmas, and decorateand have christmas paintings on the blackboard. we have to have christmasdecorations and a calendar candle. do you know what?
i wrote a nativity play whichwe will perform for your parents. jansen in christmas spirit.it could only go wrong. it took me months to write it.it's about josef and maria. but santa claus is alsoin it to make it festive. and i will be playing santa claus. please be quiet. - we need someone to play josef?- i can do that. - then i want to play god.- you can play one of the sheep. big jerk!
stop it!calm down, krumborg! that's easy for you to say! step outside.then you can cool down a bit. jansen, can i borrow your keys?i have to get into the woodwork classroom. what have you been doing this time? why did he have to bea teacher at my school? - what did he do?- nothing special. how's the play coming along? i got some good ideasfor props and set design.
i have to make sure that theywant to do it in the first place. hey, krumborg... oh, i forgot. of all the schoolsin the world, he had to pick mine. what kind of personmakes such an advent calendar? let's see,what she came up with. "sweep the attic, svendsen." - what do you want?- there's a package for you. - it's not for me.- it says so here.
- from my sister ingeborg.- i think it's a bird. nonsense.no one sends a bird. if you will just sign here. you write: olsen thank you. "dear sister. because i hurt my leg,i am hereby sending you victor. would you be so kind as to care of it.i'm coming for christmas. it would be lovely if you could teach victorhow to say 'merry christmas'. sincerely ingeborg."
i hope it's a turtle. oh no! here in this house, we want peace andquiet, regularity and no mess. - hello, svendsen.- hello, kids. - what's wrong?- mrs olsen told me to sweep the attic. then you better get started.my mom says it's long overdue. - she's a bit harsh, huh?- i'll help you, svendsen. really?that is so nice of you, krumme. it's not because i don't want to,but there are so many other things.
here's a five-kroner piece ($1).and remember to get into all the corners. mrs olsen has signed us up fora christmas competition, you see. nice guy, that krumme. there. here lies a fortune. - then all the poor trees had to die.- they are just trees, amigo. no, they are living beings too. this is bengtson.who in the world cut down my tree? he's trying to steal it. calm down.
you didn't send peopleout to cut down trees? then those damnedthieves are at it again. he's one to talk! go andtell him that you own the forest. it's not that simple. we haveto get the trees out of the way first. and then we have to finda really good place to sell them. i'll handle it myself. here's grandpa's old book.christmas was fun in the good old days. there are some letters. "here's the note that i wrote,and send it mountains high -
- towards the starry sky.with the whistle of the wind, to santa claus we send." that's beautiful.i wonder if it still works? hi, dad. - you startled me.- what are you doing? i found the old book.it's really exciting. the verse sounded nice. maybe it works. - i better get on with it.- what are you making? don't tell your mother. it's a sofa.i made the blueprints myself.
- do you really think you can make it?- yes, of course i can. and the best thing isthat it won't cost a thing. - oh no!- let me. i don't understand, why it'simpossible to sell these toys? they're probably not fashinonable. try to hold this, and put it on here. it's a little crooked, but otherwiseyou could stand and jump like this. in the old days, kids used tothink they were fun to play with. - we don't live in the old days anymore.- no, that's true.
children would probably rather wantcomputers, stereos and those kinds of things. - hi, grunk.- hi, per. she's cranky. hi, per. - here you go.- it's sweet, but it makes too much noise. - what?- the gift. not like that.but love is not about material things. - it's just a small thing.- your love is enough for me. do you want to join uswhen we send a letter to santa claus? - yes.- come. dad found the verse.
- ah, no.- come on, stine. - all that childish nonsense.- come on. thank you for the gift. let's try to send it. do you think santa claus willbe happy with a window envelope? shall we try? here's the note, that i wrote, - and send it mountains hightowards the starry sky. with the whistle of the wind,to santa claus we send.
dearest santa clausa letter's on its way and i hope that you can read all that i wrote 'cause i have so many wishesand i wrote it down onto my note though i know that you are busyon your play toy factory there are many other childrenthan just me but i'm hoping that youhave sack of christmas things for me. 3rd december.'squiggles'(eng. subs: julie kragh) zero point zeropoint zero point one!
peter holds the branch so dearshe'll treat to a nice meal(mixes up danish christmas song) the bad atmosphere is a bit weak. it's a christmas miracle!a letter has arrived! that was good. let's see. it's from someone named grunk.what a strange name. and it's squiggles.i have to see if there are more letters. there are probablythousands stuck up there. help!
help! i'm stuck! yulle is gone! won't anyone come to the rescue? - yulle is yelling.- help! hurry and rescue yulle! i hope the badatmosphere won't bite my toes! help me, someone!but don't use magic! - shall i?- no, i. tjuhi!
conjure me back this instant! you move first, little woofy. don't call me woofy!i am santa claus! now it's easier for youto get down the chimneys. didn't i tell you that youcan't do that kind of magic? you will turn into grey staple elfs. and thenyou'll have to live among rats and mouldy grain. - what went wrong?- i got stuck. you have become too chubbyaround the belly and also other places. - what is that?- a letter written with squiggles.
i understand squiggles. it's more krimsed than kramsed.(squiggles = krimskrams in dk) - grunk?- yes, it's a strange name. - it's probably just a code word.- runkeldunkel-grunk. - and it was the only letter.- there will be more, you see. - he's contemplating.- santa contemplation. be quiet! i have a verynew and modern idea. i've made a machinemechanical thing for the chimney.
you put the letter in, and thenyou can travel from chimney to chimney. - without the reindeers?- and then you won't feel the cool wind. yule cool! - why do you want to put the letter in there?- i can't read the letter, you know. but if i get down to grunk,i can find out the meaning. now i have to look at the big christmas book.go and do something. christmas makes haste. stella and novasanta turns his back and we joke when we prank him, he is always angrybut we laugh so hard we choke stella and novaconjure christmas trees that are blue
even though our santa saysthat we're not allowed. no one knows how to feel safewhen we are on the loose it is just like dogs thatare licking themselves the places they choose santa claus is explainingthe rules for magic use though what good is that when we, elfshave a memory like a goose stella and novawe're trying as best as we can and what we are best atis to tease our santa claus santa claus
look at this! ten times travel! i knew it. what is where? in times of crisis, for instance whenthe christmas spirit stays away... point zero point zeropoint zero zero zero! at special occations i can traveldown to the humans before christmas. but only ten times. after thatyou turn into a grey staple elf. i don't understand that. if he travels down there eleven times,we become grey staple elfs.
and have to live among rats and mouldy grain. but santa claus must be summonedwith a very special verse. listen to this: "when the sun sits low in the sky,and the star shines bright and clear, - then you can hear the bells up high,'cause christmas time makes people cheer - - with rice porridge and a christmas horse.now all we need santa claus. santa claus, santa claus, start your sleighand come one of the next few days or come tonight. and shine a light." maybe the squiggles mean, -
- that grunk wants me to come downthere and save the christmas spirit. if only we coulddecipher the squiggles. what if it's the verse.then we could go down to grunk. - there you are.- the ultimate reification. - can i open it?- no. - it was on sale.- a christmas diary. then you can planday by day until christmas. jesus christ! this is theultimate women's suppression! - i am surprised at you, jens.- it's just a calendar.
come on! it starts november 1. listen to this:"christmas is approaching. therefore, start making abudget for the necessary things. start making the small handicraftsthat will become christmas presents. it sounds like somethingfrom the victorian era. give it to me, stine! - brat!- it's rubbish! - come on, be quiet.- i feel sorry for mrs olsen. can we have some peace and quiet!
- thank you, jens. and i'm sorry.- that is completely finished now. obviously, mom wants to makeabsolutely sure she gets a new sofa. - what are you making?- homemade new year's crackers. - it looks like squiggles.- here it is. we need potassium carbonate dioxide.we want a big bang. - not too big of a bang.- no no, it has too be handled wisely. it's not exactly crackersthat makes our budget fall. one thing with the other, you know.it's just nice to make things ourselves. that's easy to say.it takes quite a lot of time.
it takes 5 seconds to buy 'brun cakes', buttakes a whole sunday to make them ourselves. i like your cakes, mom. maybe you just need to bake themfor a shorter period of time. according to the book, i'm way behind,but i can do a couple of days at a time. - does the book make all the decisions?- no, men it can be a great help. "clean the freezer november 9."yes, good idea. "write to your friends abroad".we don't know anyone there. "make quince bread."that sounds exciting. "the quinces have to be yellow and ripe."it takes 14 days.
put the puree ina punnet with a high rim." there's a strange horsein the advent calendar today. that's a reindeer - stop!- where? look. an empty yard. the perfect place.we can sells christmas trees here. you're silly. once again, you werethrown out of the classroom by jansen. - it's that guy hans.- you're so childish, krumme. you don't have theright to be that childish.
- do you live here?- yes. - do you think we may sell trees here?- ask the ones in charge. - is that the caretaker?- yes. then he's the one in charge.it was like that a home. svendsen! there's a bulbmissing upstairs! get it fixed now! "get it fixed now!"cranky cow. it's probably moremrs olsen who is in charge. she's not as bad as she looks. she's much worse.good luck.
no problems, amigo.ladies are my speciality. tweet tweet. - tweet tweet.- it's the other way around. humans teach budgies how to speak.not the other way around. here comes the cow! - did you say something?- it was the bird. nonsense.i wasn't expecting you so soon. - it looks great.- but there's something with the ceiling. it's my awful upstairs neighbours.it's geniune crystal.
i see. i really want to win the prize for thisyear's most beautiful christmas building. of course. - but svendsen is no high flying eagle. - i think it's more like a budgerigar. if you are taking any photos,i would like it from my right side. who is the photographer?it must be you. you look so sensitive. thank you very much. - your maners, amigo!- i'm sorry. what a romantic name.are you spanish?
yes, but mostly in my sparetime. we came to ask if we couldsell christmas trees in the yard. why didn't you say so right away? i thought you were here about thisyear's most beautiful christmas building. - can i have my cookie?- i don't want spruce needles all over. earth is a lovely thinggo and pull on the string(grunk's version of danish christmas song) do you have to pull the string, so thatjesus can come down with all the presents? that's santa claus. it's so difficultwith all those up high.
- hi, everybody.- hi, per. - you're really enjoying christmas, i see.- don't you want to join? sit down and make achristmas heart for us. stine! the object of your heart is here! - what are you making, per?- a christmas heart. won't you come? - why can't per make decorations with us?- we'll let you do it. right, per? if it were up to them, they would makechristmas hearts all year long. it must be difficult to lovechristmas and stine at the same time.
dad. when did you stop believing in santa? - i still believe in him.- but when you were a kid? i don't know.it's almost done. hi. - hi, mom.- hi, kids. hi, jens. why did you guys clean up?it's practically dangerous. - what are you doing?- we're doing christmas. - did you do your homework, krumme?- no, but i'm on it. - i have to make squiggles for santa.- do you think he can read it?
he will have to. i bought advent candles and clay.but there were no more garlands. that's okay. we have to go to theforest on sunday anyway and get a tree. then we can grab some fir (spruce)and make our advent garland. - there's too much krams. (squiggles)- i'll help you. "dear santa claus. bring presents. love... ...krumme."
- it's probably best to write correctly.- santa understands squiggles. - who dares to pull the crackers with me?- i do. per and stine. come and witnessthe world premiere of my cracker. - are you ready?- watch out, jens. one, two, three! - a dud.- i don't understand it. it was the chinesewho invented the gunpowder. but our culture abused it,and made guns and bullets. i probably didn't use enough gunpowder.i don't understand it.
i want to sendthe letter to santa claus now. i'm coming.i probably used too little. or too much. come on. with the whistle of the wind,to santa claus we send! and i hope that youcan read all that i wrote 4th december'will it be christmas?'(eng. subs: julie kragh) what is that? - who's knocking?- no one.
what are you doing?you're crazy, grunk. i have to put up a stocking,so santa can put something in it. - do you think it can fit a computer?- it will have to be a very small one. 4th december. 20 days to christmas.it has probably snowed. there's a thick layer in the yard,and santa is outside in his sleigh. i could practically feel it. you don't need to say"good morning" to all the trees. the two guys selling christmas treeswere in the yard. did mrs olsen know? look, mom.it's a christmas elf with a mouse.
no, grunk. it's a rat.don't you remember the christmas song? and all the small rats are stealing glances,stealing glances, stealing glances they truly wish to eat the christmas goodiesand they're dancing 'round in circles now there are at least 100christmas trees down in the yard. - where did they come from?- it's probably santa claus. wow, they're pretty. did you sleep well, little tree? how dare they put up their spruceneedle infested christmas trees here. svendsen has to put an end to that.
now we just need the stands. stands? yes, so the christmas trees can stand.afterwards we'll teach them how to walk. it's hard to sell christmas trees.why don't you get someone to do it? - hard work is the best patent of nobility.- but you're already a count. now we just need to borrowsome tools from the caretaker. - what if he throws us out?- caretakers are my speciality. - dad!- we are busy. could you please putthe straps on your shoulders?
i've figured it out,and i'm sure, - - we can manage christmasfor 4... 5,000 kroner ($1,000) - how are you on cash?- no problems. then you won't mind giving me some,so i can buy some things for the kids? sure, that's... dad! - it's going great. here you go.- thanks. - hi, yrsa, do you want to go together?- sure. - are you going to sell all of those?- did you get permission?
- who would oppose?- mrs olsen. - isn't it best we find somewhere else?- we'll get permission from the caretaker. - we're the ones with the christmas trees.- you should remove those right away. we will.gradually when they are sold. it is forbidden to run a business herewithout permission at the highest level. which is exactly why we havecame to you, inspector svendsen. - it's no use. mrs olsen won't let us.- did you talk to mrs olsen? - she wasn't quite not interested.- but she said no. - she's not the one in charge, you know.- exactly, inspector svendsen. you are.
- i can offer you a small deal.- i don't think so. - there must be something to do around here.- yes, god only knows. my good friend and second in commandamigo could help you out a bit. but if mrs olsen is against, thereisn't much we can do about it as i told you, mrs olsenis not the one in charge. then it's a deal. - deal?- yes yes. we start today.let's get started. and of course there's a discountfor everyone in the building.
- how much?- we'll figure that out. can we borrow some tools, by the way?we are making christmas tree stands. - sure, of course.- good. amigo. you won't regret your kindness. come, amigo. "all the stumps onthe banisters must be polished." i wish you joy of it, mrs olsen.thank god, i got an assistent. yes! this is where the christmas star enters.
it's a brilliant nativity play. why don't the children want to stage it? sit down. can we have some quiet? as you can see, i have...can we have some quiet? as you can see,i have decorated my side a bit. in my part of the classroom.and i'm actually entitled to it. if you must. but you can'tpressure us into doing the play. i am actually the teacher, you know. and i've had these christmas elfs, sincei was a kid. they've always been displayed.
- can we please get started with the class.- i've spoken to the headmaster. and i have looked into the rulesfor public school teachers. i actually have the right tosay that you have to do the play. but if you don't want to, i can't force you. but you will all have to writean essay about santa claus. it has to be handed in before christmas. and you have to investicatesanta claus' significance throughout time. you have to find outwhere it all comes from. - do we have to write something so childish?- this is so mega childish.
- you got it?- can we leave now, jansen? of course you can't leave. according to your calendar candle it'sdecember 5, and we haven't been home yet. thanks, krumborg. since you are so dull, you canlook up in the textbook, page 35. what's happening these days?where did my christmas spirit go? outside snow falls and laysand all the lakes are frozen so i wonder wherethe christmas spirit's gone will christmas come this year?
yes, it will come this year the christmas mail is gonehave children lost their will to write? i'd get a sack at dawnone letter now is the highlight and yellow eyes that lurk under our bed will christmas come this year christmas is at stake we must dowhat it takes all the sweetest kidsmust write a note to santa claus we'll do our extra bidsbe nice to all despite their flaws
'cause otherwise it won't be christmas eve yes, christmas comes this year we must do what it takes what kind of squiggles could it be? what if it's the versefrom the big christmas book. one came yesterday and another today.it's not enough. last year, same time,the letters reached this high. - and one again tomorrow.- "grunk" means "dunk". i'll show you.
try to press that one. watch out! and then you putthe letters in the mail box. - here's some post coast.- and then we press this one. now i should be able to travelto where the letters came from. from chimney to chimney. i wish you would travel byreindeer like you usually do. - i want to go too.- i'm the oldest. - only 200 years.- the most important years in an elf's life.
i don't like thatmachine mechanical thingy. it doesn't work. it's probablybecause it's squiggles. i wish we would get a letterthat we can read. so i could go and figure out, - why the christmas spirit barometerstill says zero point zero point... one. jens krumborg. more krumborg. poor guy. santa claus, santa claus... for santa claus, for santa claus... - aren't you done yet?- there are so many for krumborg and santa.
the letters for santa clausjust have to be thrown out. you don't throw out mail. it's not easy being a postman.especially not at christmas. merry christmas. look at my mouth:merry christmas. - ouch!- calm down. it's a nice neighbourhood. it was the hammer, bent. they're still there.svendsen must do something about that. - bye, krumme.- bye.
- what are you doing?- i'm rubbing. it says so on the advent calendarthat mrs olsen gave me. she can't remember that. she wrote everything down on a note.if only i could get a hold of it. svendsen! seriously, mrs olsen, i can't workand chat at the same time. those christmas tree sellers must leave. i have personally given thempermission to sell their trees here. if you complain, you can look wistfullyat the prize for this year's building.
besides, they promised to help out as athanks for letting them sell their trees. now can i please get back to work? yes yes, i just wantedto offer you a cup of coffee. hi, krumme. hey, svendsen. - help me out, krumme.- i just need to go up and put down the bag. merry christmas and howdy! hey. don't think you can do sloopy work now,just because i serve coffee.
- cranky cow.- cranky cow. steaming fresh coffee. - i wonder what i'm doing tomorrow?- we can cross out the 4th now. - cranky cow- what did you say? - it was victor.- nonsense. he's silent as the grave. it disappoints me, svendsen,that you use such words. there... i've written to him. - to whom?- to santa claus. what does it say?
"dear santa. won't you please putsomething in my stocking - and give my mom and dada lot of money. love grunk." do you think he can readall those squiggles? - write something proper.- i'm only in preschool class. - i can write it for you.- i don't think it will work. - because you don't believe in him.- but i can pretend. - hi, kids.- hi, mom. - what did you buy?- a pig's head, so i can make brawn. did i remember it all?and an advent calendar.
it says, you can make a christmas elf momwith a little apron for small things. or a christmas elf dad with a sack.if only i had started sooner. you're having cozy time, huh? - where have you been?- i'm just cleaning up a bit. if dad keeps cleaning up, the sofa will be done in time. i got it. you'll end up blowing up the whole place. i hadn't got it. - who wants to join me while i send the letter?- i do. then we can have some fresh air.
come, stine. dad, don't you think you shouldjoin us upstairs and send the letter? oh yes. i'm taking a break. - what is this, jens?- something you can't see. don't worry, no one willguess what you are up to. hurry. 5th december'christmas stocking'(eng. sub: julie kragh) - aren't you done yet?- i just have to tighten this. look at this.
like this. wow, that's pretty. - it's late.- santa couldn't have got a prettier one. who's this for?for grunk and krumme. jens. do you know what you are? you're the world's best christmas dad. g.u.r.m.p. grunk. today it's snowing.
the christmas spirit will come to all,and then we will stage jansen's nativity play. do we have to get up this early? what on earth! they live among the trees? it's much warmer in spain, you know. - that's what you think.- i'm hungry. good idea. go and get usa really delicious breakfast meal. good-bye, amigo. stine, you have to get up! - stine, you have to get up!- what is it?
santa claus was here! see for yourself,this was in my stocking. you should go and seeif there's anything in yours. - but i don't have a christmas stocking.- that's just stupid. i am going to write a letterto santa with my new pensils. no, grunk, don't! 5th december. can we have som quiet, cranky cow! what did they say?did you hear that, victor?
first svendsen and now krumborg!this is so unfair! you actually have somecute pushpin eyes, victor. and you can talk. that's whatthe birds' friends' association says. couldn't you do old mrs olsen afavour and say 'merry christmas'? you little fool. no, now they get the record! you can't jump around on top ofmrs olsen's chandelier. i had forgotten all about him.good morning, mr pig. listen to that.now she's playing the prison choir.
- i hope we don't get on her nerves.- sorry, i was just so happy. it's a shame, i know. you shouldbe allowed to jump as you'd like. - stine and krumme!- is it sunday? - it's not sunday, is it?- the 5th? no, it's not sunday. listen to her playing. - isn't it nice of santa claus?- yes, it is. krumme, did you seewhat santa gave you? - but i don't have a stocking?- then what's that? that's too much!
you practically can't find a pair ofsocks anymore without presents in them! maybe grunk's letters had worked,or maybe santa was mom. anyhow, they bought gift-wrappingpaper the same place. - a ruler. just what i needed.- it's a good thing santa knew that. - i look forward to when christmas is over.- that's just because you didn't get anything. - are you upset that you didn't get anything?- no. i've outgrown that. - how could santa bring himself to do that?- he probably didn't know. the christmas tree sellers aresleeping among the trees, you know. i saw them come out from there this morning.
- that sounds weird.- maybe they have no place to stay. - or maybe they are just really early.- at 7am, 4th december.? - the 5th.- alright, then the 5th. stine, could you bring grunk? no, i don't have time.it's not my kid either. i can just walk there by myself. - bye.- bye. it's cold. in spain, it was warm.
and if i was freezing, i could dancefor senorita and all the others. if you are freezing,you're welcome to dance and sing in spain,there is sunshine and palm trees and senorita and all of the othersknow what they should call me amigois my name called in spanish and i prefer it a lot and a lotmore than i do my danish we're dancingand life is a wonder a spell i am under when senorita is in my arms
she whispersspa-nish in my ear things that i like to hear and she gives me a kiss in denmark, it is coldwhen it's freezing and all the time everybodywalk 'round and are coughing and sneezing in spain, it is warm in december did senorita and allof the others forget or remember? they're dancingand life is a wonder it's a spell that you're under
when you're under the southern sun i'm dreaming about senorita and i'm living la vita when she whispers "amigo" amigo - amigo- cha-cha-cha can i get my danish pastry back? - good morning.- good morning. my father was oncesanta claus in a department store.
it wasn't that bad, and it was indoors. santa claus?that's brilliant, amigo! it's actually not that easy.you have to walk a certain way. ho, ho, ho! there are almost no letters, - so i'm not sure anymorethat christmas is going to happen. nonsense! maybe i should just give upand stop being santa claus. maybe time has run out for us.
can't one of youchase the bad atmosphere away? - get lost, yellow eyes!- you can't say that. do not touch the raisin(danish christmas song) first the tree must be shownbefore my song is over(mixes up the lyrics) - the coast is clear.- moose and reindeer. let's go and look for grunk. it's so difficult,and it's also very dangerous. remember the hat, yulle.so you don't walk around naked. oh yes, remember the hat.
there's only one letter. too bad! and once again it's from grunk. well, then it's probably squiggles again. let me try to read it. i can read squiggles. what in the world is written here?all the scribble isn't clear no, i can read what it says 'cause it is written in a stylewhich elfs can understand yes, of courseit's squiggles
i wish for a bicycle that's blue a bell should be attached as if with glue 'cause i have been so nice this yearand i hope that when i hear the reindeers, you are bringinglots of gifts and if not you might as well just stay at home. this year is scarce on christmas notes'cause last year those who wrote were several thousandevery time we'd get the mail and now we only have this onesquiggles, but we're having fun since for elfssquiggles are seen as daily fare
he wishes for a bicycle that's blue 'cause he has been so nice this yearand we'll make sure that he hears the reindeers, that are bringinglots of gifts although he's written squiggles downand we're lost in translation where's jansen? it's the first time he's late. he's after all a teacher. krumme's dad appears with the wind. he also drives a skoda.
can we have some peace and quiet? what do i see?a guiding star from afar. i am but a low traveller, - but yet i knowit is the little child. jesus hello, dear children.how sweet-looking you are. have you been nice? did you wish forsome really good christmas presents? there you go. jansen! jansen! jansen! jansen!
that was not nice of you. i haven't even had the changeto hand it all out. - did you really think we would fall for it?- you never know. krumborg, can you hand these out? i just tried to pep upyour christmas spirit. i don't think i've ever beenthis bored during december before. if you look past the time,i had the mumps in 1963. - why are we getting this?- because i want you to look at it. read it before you say no.
i actually put a great dealof work into this nativity play. "his royal highness is approaching from afar."look, a star. bray". - that's the donkey.- a donkey can't speak. - poetic license.- we're never allowed to use that in essays. read it before christmas.and it's homework. - take out your books.- it was about time. on page 48. - krumborg, will you read?- yes. "the old greeks already knewthat earth was..."
listen to this: "dear santa.bring presents. love krumme." - krumme writes to santa claus.- give it to me, you idiot! stop it, krumme!you're always making trouble! and in addition, it's during the sweetchristmas time. you two, relax! krumborg. outside. outside and cool down. will this really turn into brawn? "cardamom and almondsare finely chopped" - hi, mom. what are you doing?- baking.
- what are you baking?- it's just a sample. - just to get into shape.- isn't it the dough that gets into shape? don't you think it'sbetter to buy some at the baker? - i want to bake myself.- everyone to his taste. - stop it, stine!- pig killer! vandals! i'm going insane. - why are you cooking the pig's head?- it's for brawn. krumme. - is something the matter?- no.
- hi.- hi, per. - do you want to join us with the baking?- yes. no. you're never allowed to do anything. - tell me if something's the matter.- it's just those idiots from school. grunk's letter for santa clauswas in my textbook. - hans found it and read it aloud.- how annoying. it's not nice.i don't want to go to school anymore. - hi, kids.- hi.
- what is that?- christmas decorations. - all of that?- we will make them ourselves. we have a board like this, and then wego down to the park and dig up some clay. and on sunday, when we're in the forest,and then we put spruce (fir) on it. - how much did it cost?- i got it on credit. we'll pay oncewe've sold the decorations. - why are you so angry at christmas?- it's just so messy. - i think it's so cosy and nice.- that's because you don't have my family. - they're super nice.- in small doses.
for instance, i hate that my dadis trying to make crackers. you're ruining my cookies. i just don't understand.it's not supposed to be like this. according to the book... i better go to the attic. what are you always doing up there? nothing special.it's nothing. - krumme, will you help me?- yes, once i've found the door. - get down from there, amigo.- i can't.
mrs olsen won't inspect itall the way up there. just come down. - i got some soot in my eye.- okay, i'm coming. i think i'm upside down. i got some new springs for the sofa. ouch! what was that? i can't open the hatch. maybe it was santa clauswho was coming down the chimney. now there's nothing.
- is anyone there?- help us get out, krumborg! what in heaven's namewere you doing in there? mrs olsen asked us to clean the chimneybefore the chimney sweep is due to come. she says, he makes such a mess. - who is that, dad?- that's santa claus. that's svendsen. do you want to join us? we're sendingletters to santa. i wrote five. you bet! - they won't fall down into the yard, right?- not if you cite the verse.
6th december'enough is enough'(eng. sub: julie kragh) was it what? no yellow eyes?no hissing? there are spirits on the rise. it says zero point zeropoint eight point three! yulle, wake up! look, the rise is spiriting! zero point zeropoint eight point three! - that means there must be letters!- i'll go get them.
- here's one. and two more.- three. and one more. - that's five letters.- five is more then four. five lettersthat someone wrote! but it's squiggles, all of it.and they're all from grunk. does that meanwe can't go down to grunk? - krumme, you need to get up!- i'm almost up. - you have to get up completely. now!- yes yes. i'm coming. - where's my sweater?- here. - ugh, that's not cool enough.- same to you.
it's your turn, old man. say hi to santa,and say thank you for the soap. oh yes, sure, i'll do that. here's some money.off you go. krumme... oh, you are up?breakfast is soon served. - what are you doing?- the tree sellers are sleeping among the trees. - he's just standing down there.- but i just saw them come out. i think santa clausleft something in your stocking. yeah, i was right.he strikes again.
- do you know anything about this?- no, do you? i also got something from santa.try to smell. - pencils. just what i needed.- it's a good thing that santa knew that. - do you think he shops in netto (discount store)?- no, i don't think so. he makes those himself.they are busy at santa claus' place. he has this machine with a funnelwhere he pours all kinds of things into. and then he turns the handle,and it spits out christmas presents. so i guess this tagis just a fool people. yes, of course.
i can picture it; a fat, old manwith a long beard who says 'ho, ho, ho' -,as he put this week's special offers intohis shopping cart. he might use a credit card. one, two, three.6th december. - no, grunk, don't.- she doesn't get to decide that. can we have some quiet! here we are. i with my cheese sandwich,and you with your millet. i'm very considerate,but i can't take it anymore! no! - there you are.- thanks.
well no, that's for santa. i know how you send it. throw it in the air,and it flies away by itself. - do you want me to send it?- no, that probably won't do. letters are the mostpersonal things you have. in the air?no, that can't be. are you the one, little christmas elf,who will be displayed today? we've known each otherfor many years now. ups! i'm not picking it up!
property inspector (caretaker) svendsen's office.svendsen's apprentice probationer amigo speaking. stop pretending.open the advent calender, - - so we can get started.it's no use changing your voice. and isn't it about time you get ridof the christmas tree sellers? - there's something suspicious about them.- sounds like a good idea. they probably stole the christmas trees. svendsen, please do talk to krumborg.am i really supposed to - - hold the chandelierthroughout all of december?! goodbye, svendsen!
goodbye then. - where were you?- i'm waiting for mr olsen? - svendsen.- i just spoke to mrs svendsen. - olsen.- she says we stole the christmas trees. senorita and all of the otherswould never have put up with that. - where's the caretaker?- he's not here. hello, inspector.are you inspecting the floor? i was looking for a christmas elf. - they are your christmas trees, right?- of course.
well, i better go andcheck on the customers. - there's nothing fishy about him, right?- counts do tend to be a little strange. every man to his taste. personally, i'd rather go visitsenorita and all of the others. - spain is beautiful.- have you been there? yes, by bus. mrs olsen and mrs jensenpersuaded me to go with them. - let's get started.- may i? 'remove the spots on the staircase steps'.they'll just return. - it's really stuck.- yes, you need elbow grease.
hi, svendsen. hello. - is it the christmas clean up, svendsen?- it is, it is. this is amigo.he's promised to help me out. - amigo? that sounds quite spanish.- thank you very much. it's mostly in my sparetime.back home, my name is steen. didn't you sendletters with us yesterday? yes, and it was really nice.but i won't intrude. do you want to write letterswith us for santa claus, svendsen?
then you can help memake gunpowder for my crackers. you can't make too much noise, - - i tell you, mrs olsenis really hot-headed these day. did santa claus visityour house last night? krumme probably put up a stocking. - yes, and so what?- you did? santa claus is for small children.you are so childish. he doesn't exist. i can provethat santa claus exists. - how much do you want to bet?- i don't want to bet.
okay. 1,000 dkk ($200) done. and then you haveto write to santa claus too. what are you betting? krumme wants to provethat santa claus exists. - how will you do that?- i don't know yet. it can't be that dificult. i just needto find santa. it's as easy as... ... flying. - are you the one making noises, mrs olsen?- yes, i'm decorating my door. some of you could learn from it.
- cranky cow.- krumme. - i guess, we better...- yes, i guess. yrsa is super sweet.i really want to say something nice. good-bye. - do you know what she made for me?- no. sodium carbonate... you are careful with that, right? hello svendsen. - what did she make for you?- an advent calender. there's a task for everyday in it.
she's ruining my christmas spirit. she's set on winning that competitionfor this year's christmas building. you think it's an earth quake, victor.but it's a homemade sewing machine. have you never considered givingyour wife a new sewing machine? - it makes a quite a lot of noise.- it can last for a while longer. - i love being here. something always happens.- you can say that again! - mrs olsen, what are you doing?- just a moment. this is where my prism chandelieris hanging or what's left of it, - because every morning,a piece falls into my teacup.
the next person, who either dancesor jumps or tramples there, are dead! svendsen, this would bean opportune moment, - - as the caretaker,to prevent such things from happening. shame! shame on you! - cranky cow.- i was just about to say that. we really do need to be more careful.and we don't need to make gunpowder at home. it's just our own crackers.it's completely innocent. - do you want to come and send my letters?- i'd like to. i'm attaching a picture.come, mom.
just a moment. i have to goand take care of something first. is she always this cranky? prism chandelier! come, svendsen. 7. december'christmas poem'(eng. subs: julie kragh) it was completely quiet. santa claus or my momhad left a present. my dad says that inside thegift-wrapping paper dreams live. but when you unwrap it,it's just a thing.
but today it was something special.i could feel it. underwear!santa is definitely on mom's side. it's going wellwhat a lovely hat granddad will appreciate itwhen you tighten the rippon(danish christmas song - mixed up) the bad atmosphere is usuallygone by this time of year. i am after all santa claus. of course it is youwho are santa claus. that's why you can't walk aroundin that naked way. there's a note that someone wrote.
and a picture of something. let me see. - a picture of a santa and his wife.- it's squiggles again. i'm going to read squiggles. - what lovely hair she has.- santa claus' outfit is really nice too. and he's saying 'ho, ho, ho, ho!' how do you thinki would look with a new haircut? what a horrendous thought! - the first squiggle means 'dear'.- and the second means 'santa claus'.
it's just likeall the other letters from grunk. grunk. that's the noise that reindeersmake when they're chewing straw. "dear santa claus..." you are amazing and skilledteasing christmas elfs. - do you think you can figure out the rest?- yes, if we can tag along and meet grunk. that's a deal. - no, you can't, grunk.- why? all the other children can. they don't live on top of mrs olsen.we can't let her get more angry. - is it possible for her to get more angry?- oh yeah!
don't you remember that new year's evewhen dad's rocket flew into her apartment? no. i was probably to little. can't i just do it quietly?you could carry me? one, two, three!it's 7th december. i'm just going to go upstairs. - can i go with you?- i have something secret to do. i can keep secrets.do you want to hear one? get up. - i dreamt about senorita.- dreams are such nonsense.
- what are you doing here?- i should be the one asking. it's our attic. - are you sleeping?- no, we're wide awake. come, grunk. wait a minute. you don't haveto tell anyone. we didn't do anything. we should get backto selling christmas trees. - look at the fancy playtoy.- that's my dad's diabolos. come, amigo. we don't havetime to play kindergarden. - can i play with the playtoy tonight?- come on. - what are you looking for?- granddad's book.
i have to provethat santa claus exists. - what does 'prove' mean?- to show that he is real. this can wait. and this will have to wait. this can wait a little while longer. this doesn't work, jens. i've only reached the middleof november in my christmas dairy. that's good. tomorrow it's the second sundayof advent, and we have no advent wreath.
maybe i should... the wedding gift from aunt anna! jens, could you help me, please?help me. help me for god's sake!i'm going crazy! - help me!- you want me to help you? i can't take it anymore.nothing goes the way it should. i promise, i'll make it work. it's hopeless. we have to postpone christmasfor a month if i am to finish in time. i'll handle it.
thanks to santa,whoever he is. - what's the matter?- mom is a little exhausted. mom, all that christmas stuffis so suppressing. be quiet!i'm sorry, i'm sorry. you need to learn how to relax.should i teach you a lotus position? - bent and amigo were sleeping in our attic.- poor people. - jens, you need to talk to them.- there's something fishy about them. there's nothing fishy about being poor. - they can have my room.- sure, i bet.
'oil the doorknobs and hengesin the whole staircase. they are squicking. she'll probably squick herself. i'm so sorry, svendsen.i have to talk to you. those two guys up there...you have to talk to them. i do that everyday.they are two fine men. he's a count. they're sleeping in our attic.not that i mind, - but i don't want peopleto poke around my things. i can understand that.they might even sleep on your coach. come, kids.we have to go grocery shopping.
- aren't you coming, krumme?- no, i think i'm going to stay. can you read this? - blackletter (gothic). where'd you get it?- my granddad wrote it. - is your granddad a little strange?- a little, but that's my great-grandfather. great-grandfather. on your father's side?yes, that makes sense. in 1935, he used a certain verseto summon santa claus. - where does it say that?- listen to this: - with rice porridge and a christmas horse.now all we need is santa claus. santa claus, santa claus,
start your sleighand come one of the next few days or come tonight,and shine a light." it's a god thing you came.there's been a complaint about you. - oh, so you're a telltale?- it was his father who complained. is it really true that you'resleeping in krumborg's attic? - we slept there last night.- that's really not okay. - don't you have a place to stay?- there's a bit of a crisis in my family. something with an inheritance. - i could also just buy the whole building.- isn't that going to extremes?
- thank you for the help.- you're welcome. come in. it's been empty since the war (*ww2).my dad furnished it. if you want it, it's yours. - it looks cozy.- it is very nice you. and i will remember youonce the inheritance has been clarified. when you are making rice porridge you have to make surethat it is soft it is extremely rightthat you make the porridge important when you're cooking price rorridge
or the other way around first you put the pot into water and then you fill as muchrice as can be then you turn up on the canand just give it all you heat that's the way the ricelikes their santa. or maybe it's the other way around stir in your pot with a spoon the porridge should be as white as snow and when the porridge is soft and deliciousyou set the table and add to
the christmas porridgewith all that it needs yes, i think that one was correct you put porridgeon your knob of butter and cinnamon and then some sucre following ice and flour you should burst until you eatthat's what santa and elfs do i can't believe how muchi get it mixed up what elfs love the most is porridgeand as long as the hat is red there'll be porridge for allmedium, big and small 'cause a christmas friendis the elfs best porridge
porridge's ready. - so sweet, so sweet.- and a big knob of butter. but not for old yulle. he's a 1300 year-old santa clausin the prime of his life. can you set the table or tablethe set or the other way around? - me?- no, me. stop with those pranks.it is stricly forbidden. did you do all this tomfoolery? no, it's not me.not me, no, it's not.
stella! nova! it is strictly forbidden.and especially during december. - when else?- we sleep the rest of the year. teasing-elfs may only use theirmagic powers in cases of emergency. why do we have the ability,when we can't use it? because it's written here.and you better listen. a knob of butter. - it landed on top of the verse.- which verse? the verse where youcan summone santa claus. so that i can go and find out whythere's a bad atmosphere on earth, -
- and why there are only letters from grunk. - i forgot the verse.- that's 'cause teasing elfs have bad memory. then you can hear the bells up high,'cause christmas time makes people cheer" "when the sun sits low in the sky,and the star shines bright and clear..." - did you write this yourself?- i found it in the book. - i got svendsen to read it.- what? oh, i see. now we have to send it,and you are coming too, stine. "here's the note, that i wrote, - with the whistle of the wind,to santa claus we send!"
8th december'krumme's letter'(eng. sub: julie kragh) - i want to read squiggles.- i want to read the squiggles. - oh my big sack of presents!- i think it's the verse. now i'm going to see if my machinemechanical device is working. yes, do that, yulle. then maybe i could getsomething done with my hair, - - if we can go down there.or the other way around. absolutely not. it's working.now we can go.
- i want to go too.- me too. stop! get over here. - who am i?- you're yulle. - santa claus himself.- yes. christmas is my responsibility. ours. where would we be, if ididn't cook all the christmas food, - so the scent couldspreed all over the world, - while all you do is go around in yourreindeer and hand out presents and sleighs. to go down to the humans in a sleighis no problem. that's just rutine. but to travel in this wayis almost forbidden.
and it's very dangerous. remember,we tried it once before in 1935. oh, scary! but now i will lookin the big christmas book. it would be very unfortunateif we turned into grey stable elfs. - but we can go too, right?- we'll see. first, we need to see if it works.if the machine mechanical device work, - then we can go to wherethe letter came from. but if it doesn't work, then wecould end up in all sorts of places. - we could even...- end up where?
go and make some christmas presents.let's see. thank you for the present. santa claus is stupid.me and krumme didn't get anything. didn't you get a present?maybe he put it in the wrong place? no, santa doesn't do that. here they are!from santa claus! no, that's just something you had. then it's from mother santa clausto her kids. thanks.
- mine is way too small.- mine is way too big. we'll just switch them. like that and like that. - i have to knit them all over.- just put both of them under krumme's. i've overslept.we have to go, grunk. we're in a hurry. - should i tell him?- no, wait. where are my razor blades? i am not skipping work today.
hurry up. we're in a hurry. - it's sunday.- it's sunday? sunday 8th december. i would jump for joyif it wasn't for mrs olsen's chandelier. sunday, i love you. this is a gorgeous tree.and you could hang three stars on it. - it's a 3-starred tree.- no. now we have a lot of work to do. - ouch, it pricks.- that's what spruce needles do, grunk.
- how's the sale going?- good. soon we need more trees. - if only i could go and cut one myself.- you can do that. there're lots in the forest. i just got an idea for your business. we've gathered some things forchristmas decorations, - and then i thought,that if we made these decorations, - and then you sold them,we could split the profit. that sounds like a good idea.you can't find those in the forest. then that's a deal.we're on a roll, honey. i wonder how many decorations ittakes to get a new pair of boots?
- look. i made a buddhist monk.- wow, that's beautiful. - what is that, krumme?- santa claus' house. - i made an invisible christmas elfs.- but it's right there. well, otherwise, youwouldn't be able to see it. - what do you think?- it's different. this will sell like hot cakes. oh god! hot cakes! oh no! look at the gingerbread house. never mind, mom. then dad doesn'thave to make his gunpowder tonight.
grunk. have you written to santa yet? no, i don't want to.he's a bit stupid. what a bummer. 9th december'snapping'(eng. subs: julie kragh) zero point zero point three! that's not good.maybe it doesn't work. is wrong something? you look worriedand sad. or the other way around. zero point zero point three.the bad atmosphere has grown big, then i don't want to get out of bed.
be gone! get lost! bad atsmophere and lies,your colour is hideous and yellow leave and shut your eyes,'cause christmas is here saying hello. what kind of rhyming was that? something i read in the big christmas book. - and it worked.- good, yulle. - remember the hat, so you're not naked.- remember the hat. yulle. if... when we go down there, - - couldn't i get a new hairdolike in the picture?
- i won't hear of it!- as if you would listen. - i wonder if there are any letters?- but she looks so pretty. - no note that someone wrote.- none at all. what's wrong and badand completely in the way? - no letters.- not even from grunk? mrs olsen wants me to sweep againand i haven't even oiled the locks yet. and the cow's advent calender saysi have to polish all the lamps. - i will never make it.- we will help with all of it. we'll handle all the locks.locks are my speciality.
- but don't go into the apartments.- a man of honour never does. - can i have another cookie?- help yourself. amigo. your maners. - i'm off.- don't you want to go with me? your skoda poludes morethan 5 cars put together. bye bye! - december 9.- no, grunk! that's it!i am turning up the volume! hold your ears, victor!
she's such a horrible singer. dad, what does it say? it says...monday 2nd december 1935 - granddad had spotted elfs in the stables.they were small and grey. - have you seen them as well?- no, not like that. well, maybe. shouldn't the two of you get going? here's your lunch. grunk. here's yours.have a nice day at school.
i'll put it in here. bye bye. no no, 11th december. and i have reached29th and 30th november. - so, what do you think?- it's different. nicely spotted, yrsa. different. - there's a comma error on page 13.- and on page 12. you can take out your books now. by the way, i have looked intohow much money the class has saved up, -
- and there will be no skiing trip this year. we'll either have to waituntil next year or pay ourselves. - we can just pay ourselves.- no, we can't. just because you can't afford it.it's my treat. keep quiet.just because your dad has a lot of money. - we could also just earn the money ourselves.- how? we could make a charge foradmission at the nativity play. jansen. - where did you get this?- from a book my granddad wrote.
- but that is my great-grandfather.- why did he write it? it says you can summon santa claus,if you send a letter with those words. - you should try that.- i have. grunk sends lettersto santa claus every night. - can i use it for my essay on santa?- yes, if it tells you something about him. now we're ready.we'll take each other's hands - and then we think of human clothesand the human world. are you ready? think!
once upon a time,christmas was cozy and relaxing. now it's only work, work and work is anyone in there?i already told you, you can't. amigo? bent? is that you? - we should be here now.- let us out, little yulle. - so this is where grunk lives?- let us out now. it worked like it should.nice clothes, right? you're so stylish and so fullof nobel. or the other way around. no, no, no!
you can't get recognized like this. this must be grunk. - svendsen.- grunk svendsen. aha! why do you still write squiggles? hello, mr squiggle svendsen. grunk lives downstairs.you just have to go down those stairs. well, then thank you very much. i'm just overworked. they were not really here.
i'd better go see doctor hermansen. look. grunk. we're on the right track. - let me, please.- no hocus pocus. no no. - didn't you hear what yulle said?- who will find grunk first? they have a picture of me. and me too. - it's really pretty here, huhu?- yes, but not a lot of christmas.
there. - "grunk."- "krumme." from santa claus. - we're off again.- the trip is over. you're feeling high... christmasspirit is well? or the other way around. yes, but mrs olsen is tough. "mrs olsen is tough." would you be so kind as to closethe door behind us? you're not really here, right?
no, you could say that.we're here a bit wrong. chimneys and fireplacesend us on a journey. nothing. you oil the henges,then i will go and take a look. - take a look at what?- just take a look. - what are you doing?- we're oiling the henges. we're on it, mrs olsen. - maybe we should go and get more oil.- weren't you taking a look inside? - get to it!- of course, mrs olsen.
- they are strange.- it's just your imagination. - do you want to come in for a cup of tea?- i can't. there's so much to do. writing a letter to santa claus? hi, you two lovebirds. see you, krumme. - what is that?- wow, that's pretty. - is it your doing, krumme?- nope. what's going on?who decorated all this? it's a cozy atmosphere.
everything must go.at least from my room. wow, it's beautiful.it's just like in the christmas diary. - who brought this?- it's really beautiful. yes, but who could it be,that brought it? bent and amigo were oiling henges.they almost went into yrsa's apartment. it can't be themthey can't just enter the apartments. look, mom. a present. - whose that from?- probably santa claus. he usually doesn'tcome during the day.
- an oldfashioned santa claus.- i got one exactly like it. they're handcarved, just likethe one i had when i was a kid. now i want to writea letter for santa after all. here's all your christmas rubbish.i don't want it. who've arranged those presents?did you, jens? i can see it in your eyes.it was you! admit it! but, svendsen.why are you sitting here? no reason. but tell me something:am i weird?
sometimes. don't you want to join us?we're sending a letter to santa. no, i think i'll go down and take a rest.i'm very, very tired. did you see a strangeman going down the stairs, - - together with a strange woman and somekids dressed in weird oldfashioned clothes? they wanted to speak to grunk. it looked likethey came out of the chimney. and then there's the onewith santa, right, svendsen? no, he wore a morning coat and a bowler.
i have to go andsend the letter for santa claus. maybe svendsen hadreally seen santa claus? come, krumme. 10th december'sleepyheads'(eng. subs: julie kragh) come on, stella and nova! go and see if there arepiles of letters in the chimney. maybe they are stuck. are they stuck? there's only one letter.
and it's again from grunk. then it's probablysquiggles again. squiggles, squiggles. "dear santa claus.thank you for visiting. love grunk.can you help us with money too? because my dad is so poor, and hereally wants to travel around the world, - - but i don't feel up to it. but he also has some diabolaswhich were way too expensive. and he can't sell them."
i can read squiggles! - i can read squiggles!- she really can! something must have happenedwhen we were at grunk's place. we must be very careful, when weapproach the humans before christmas eve. it says so in the big christmas book.caution. were several thousandeverytime we'd get the mail half past ten.nice to sleep late. oh no! oh no! - jens, wake up!- of course. pulling up the suspenders.
grunk, you need to get up.you need to get up! i was sound a sleep. i dreamt, - - that my letter went down achimney with snow and everything. come. you need to get up. jens, we overslept. - i haven't overslept.- oh, really? here you go. it's half past ten. i have woodworkclasses during the first class. i had a really strange dream.
it was like someone waswalking around in here. are you sure it's not sunday? i can't fly at all. it's too cold as well. krumme! krumme! we overslept. you need to get up.it's half past ten. i dreamt i was out flying,and that someone was here last night. you need to get up now.
stine! stine, are you up? stine, you need to get up. stine! stine! you need to get up. we are late. i just dreamt...it was something about per. and a strange girlwith pointy ears. he was crazy about her.how bad of him! - it was only a dream.- maybe there's something to it.
everybody has dreamt except me. mom. can't we stay home today?just this once? you mean cut school and work? oh, you're really sick. yes, a lot.but i can drink a cocoa. okay. just this once. - oh no! per!- what about him? if it's true, what i dreamt abouthim and the girl with the ears, - i have to go to schooland keep an eye on him.
stine, it's just a dream, and per really likes you. - even though...- even though what? you are quite hard on him sometimes. - but can i stay home today?- okay. then i'll stay home too. we'll simply stay homeand have a cozy time. - look what santa gave me.- i got one too. it's was a good thing i wrote to him. - good morning.- good morning, stine.
- look.- wow, that's nice. incense. thanks. - would you rather have had a santa?- no, but it's cute. you know what dad says?he says we can cut school. - what a things to teach the kids.- you're one to talk. - we're cutting school too.- yes, we are. a whole day, where we can doexactly what we want. we're going to bake, make decorations,decorate and polish the silver. we're going to do grossary shopping,pickle and clean up and...
we could also just do nothing. no, no, no, we have to makethe decorations for bent and amigo. and i also havethings to do in the attic. we have to call andsay that we're not coming to work. - maybe we better...- dad! you promised. okay. but it's only because we overslept. yahoo, 10th december!
she's not saying anything. i hope nothing's happened to her. well, we better get started. - who will help me make christmas decorations?- i will. and me and stine. okay. if it will please you. they have to be pretty, so thatamigo and bent can sell them. jens, you have to talk to them.it's nice of them to decorate the place, - - but we can't have them running around.
i'll talk to them. i've finally reached december.let me see "1st december: check on the christmas decorations."that's kind of done. "when the home is being decorated,you must calculate a good amount of time." "2nd december, you shouldplan to go out with the kids." what is it, jens?what are you doing? nothing's happening.no one is saying anything. no one is yelling.nothing. maybe something happened.i hope she hasn't collapsed.
mrs olsen! it was nice cutting school andstaying home with the whole family. i wish for a doll. no, ingeborg! it's mine! oh my! to think that an old lady like me can dreamthat she wishes for a doll. how horrible!i don't think i've ever slept this late. is the world out of order?they're usually quiet during the day. red cabbage and prunes.and risalamande (rice a lã almond).
aage speaking. aage svendsen. there's a rumble upstairs,and i just woke up. - me too.- did you open the advent calendar? - nope.- then get to it. steady on! mrs olsen.steady on! that was a blank. mrs olsen. it was a blank. i opened the adventcalendar,and it was blank.
that can't be.i have the note here: 10th december. it says "polish the doors".it's written load and clear. no, the note is blank, - - and i will take cognizance of that,as they say in parliament. goodbye. i already feel much better.now i just need some breakfast. what if the note, thatmrs olsen has, disappeared. maybe one should remove it. no, there is nothing in there. if i turn around, no onewill come out of the chimney.
good morning. no one will come outof that chimney, right? - are you expecting someone in the chimney?- of course i'm not. but won't you be so kind as to look? i think it was a bird. you look like you saw the devil. i'm too overworked.it's that mrs olsen's fault. i know it sounds stupid, but yesterday it was, - - as if someone came outof the chimney in the attic.
aha! you actually see peoplewonder out of the chimney? i know it sounds stupid.i have to go and see the doctor. it could be santa claus.he comes down the chimney. save us from that nonsense. just take it easy andgo and see the doctor. then we will take care of everything. no, i need to pull myself togetherand make breakfast. before it's lunch time. - hello, mr krumborg.- here's a christmas decoration.
you sell them, and we split the profit. - this is very... interesting.- we have a whole load upstairs. we'll pick them up tomorrow. you're not the ones who havebeen going into our apartment, right? my wife just doesn't like strangersbeing there when she's not at home. we're pleased with the things,you brought for the children, - - but women and pride, you know. it wasn't us. - then it was probably the christmas elf.- that's hard to say.
look dad. it's the prettychristmas tree from the forest. - that tree is not for sale.- oh. i would have liked to have bought it. krumborg, krumborg and krumborg. i think that was the last one. - there you are.- but... "to santa claus from jens." more letters for santa claus. they say i have to throw them out,but i can't do that. you don't throw out...
what was it that grunk said? "you just have to throwthem out of the window." nonsense. 11th december'love letter'(eng. subs: julie kragh) that mechanic maschine thingyhas once again lost its marbles. the letter has lost their powers,so we cannot travel down there. but look at what's written here. it says, that if we receive a letterfrom lovers with the verse in it, - - then it equals that of 1000 children,and then it will last the whole christmas.
then it will probably come. come with me in the kitchen,'cause then you will pig in the marzipan, - and dipp nuts, so whole the scentscan spread all over the all world. you're sitting there, krumme? you've really put onthe working clothes, huh? that's necessary in this house,where i have to do everything myself. - it's not my fault, right?- no, it was actually mine. i feel over grunk.i hope nothing happened. nothing besides the ceiling in my teaand victor turning white-haired.
we'll give the ceiling some plasticcoating. then it won't fall down again. i'd rather have it chalked,but that probably won't stay. jens will take care of it. - can i jump on the floor now, mom?- no, you can't. that's a deal.we'll coat the ceiling with plastic. - merry christmas, mrs olsen.- that's a little early, mads krumborg! oh, you're not sick anymore, krumme? run straight to school, andbe careful not to catch the cold. - you want to go together?- as long as you're not contagious.
as you can see, krumborg has madethe scenery for the nativity play. let's give him a hand. thank you, thank you. of course, i know you don'twant to play the nativity play. but i thought you should seehow nice it turned out. and of course, it's no funplaying elfs and josef and maria. or santa claus. - who says we don't want to?- that's how i understood it. we need the money for the ski-ing trip.
that's just because you can't afford it. let's say, we sell the ticketsfor 10 kroner ($2) a piece, - - and at the premierewe sell coffee and cake. - i think we could make 1000 kroner ($200).- okay, but we get to pick the roles. we'll see. i will try tomake a casting for tomorrow. and then i will finish the play.did you have that poem about santa claus? then i will try toincorporate it into the play. and then santa can appear.it has a really nice effect. can i be santa claus?
that will be me. i'm after allthe only one who can fit the costume. there's nothing like real silver.we have a lot of that at the manor. - look at how nicely it's decorated here.- let's just bring the decorations downstairs. - they're nice.- tastes differ. do you think anyone willbuy these monstrosities? they're festive. amigo. what did you come up with now? it's just you guys. i was reallyscared when the door was open. krumborg asked bent and amigo tobring the decorations downstairs.
that's good, svendsen. it's a really cozy home,you've made for yourself. - adiã³s, senorita.- adiã³s. - i don't want those two in here alone.- of course, but i'm the one with the keys. - aren't we going to bake soon?- we're going to make dought for brunkager. it's an old recipe.in my christmas diary. "every home has its own recipe,but here's one anyway: melt margarine and syrup. when it's cooled off,add sucre and spices, which first..."
- it's really nice, what your father made.- he's quite capable sometimes. - he's also sweet.- he can be quite troublesome too. so can my mother.we can't have the least bit of mess. - yrsa. about santa claus...- i don't believe in him. there's something i wouldlike to show you in our attic. there were many exciting things in the book,so i wanted yrsa to go with me to the attic. 'cause i had read somethingparticular in granddad's book. if we receive a letter from lovers,and the verse is in it, - - then it equals that of 1000 children,and it will last the whole christmas.
love krumme... ... and yrsa." it sounds cute.then what do you do? send it out into the nightwhile you believe in santa claus. "here's the note that i wrote, with the whistle of the windto santa claus we send." 12th december'chimney sweep'(eng. sub: julie kragh) krumme, you need to get up.santa claus is here. - mom! krumme is gone!- nonsense.
he's not under the bed either. krumme? - jens, wake up!- what is it? - krumme is gone.- what are you saying? - he probably just went for a walk.- not in the middle of the morning yrsa and i had sleptin the attic all night. i almost didn'tdare to wake her. maybe it had already worked thatwe had written to santa together. maybe the whole santa claus familywas sitting in our chimney.
no santa claus. - what is it?- i was hoping that santa would come. what time is it?you idiot! my mom will be furious! it's really toughto believe in santa claus. i have to go and look for him.call the police. calm down. he's probablysitting somewhere dreaming. - mom, can i have his present?- no, you can't. - krumme, where have you been?- i went for a walk. you can't do that.we've been so worried.
i didn't want to wake you. shouldn't we have some breakfast,since we're up early anyway? in one week and one day,we have our holiday vacation. what was what? - what is what?- i was nicely sound asleep. can't you feel it? - look at the spirit barometer!- point everything. point get up you guysbecause now things are happening. bad atmosphere and lies,your colour is hideous and yellow
jingle bellsjingle bells - was the atmosphere feeling bad?- yes. it's almost dead. can't you feel it at all?can't you sense the smell of christmas at all? it's so embarrasingwhen you walk around naked. i will remember the hat. - christmas hearts! look!- christmas heart love. - what is it?- you'll learn one day. it's amazing! it's a real christmas letter,like i have never seen before.
it's written by lovers.no doubt about it. and it has the wholechristmas verse from the big book. so that's whythe christmas spirit has gone up. it's true."love krumme and yrsa." how peculiar.first grunk, and now krumme and yrsa. they know the christmas verse too. krumme (crumbs). isn't that when thereare enough of them, it's bread you can eat? yes. there are plenty of cumance andropids (romance and cupids) in the air. - cu-what?- cupids.
- that's something with love as well.- i understand nothing. you will learn at some point, nova. then you'll know much more than nowwhere you don't know anything. love is somethingyou can't see. - can you eat it?- no... - it's invisible threads in the air.- like a kind of elf? - yes, love and elfs.- i want to try it. - love is not something you joke about.- what are you saying? joke is not something you love about.
joke. isn't that scary?(dk: joke = spã¸g. ghost = spã¸gelse) like trolls and ratsand mouldy grains. joke, joke! yes yes, little yulle.you must be really happy now. stella! nova! - my mind is a bit tangled.- tangled? like a bird's nest? - i'm really at a loss.- tweet, tweet! be quiet, stella! we must go down there again.
we got letters from grunk. andwe got a letter from krumme and yrsa. that's where the christmas spirit came from,and we must make it spread. we leave tomorrow. because then it's the 13th, and it'snot particularly lucky for humans. but it's very lucky for elfs. can you get back to work. now i have the love letter. "gunpowder, blop, blue, pocket..." "krumme and yrsa!"and the love letter.
"the budgerigar loves to flyfreely around the house. close windows and doors,and let it use its wings." - it says you can learn how to talk.- she's completely crazy. "budgerigars learn bestunder safe surroundings. don't pressure the bird. it will quicklylearn how to talk under safe surroundings." you are a sensitive bird. and you have such cute eyes, victor. there you go, little honey. merry christmas, victor.just fly around the living room.
what now? here's my chance at getting away. - we would like to look at a christmas tree.- what are you saying? a christmas tree!she probably can't hear that well. - i can hear quite well.- could we have a look at a tree? - do i look like a christmas tree seller?- not really. but then who sells the trees in the yard? - what are saying?- look at what you have done! victor!
victor! get down here at once! - what's wrong?- victor flew away! maybe the husband is a pilot. i wouldfly away too if i was married to her. you don't have to say merry christmas. would you crawl onto the roofto say merry christmas? - would you, victor?- no. they're losing their marbles. nete and martin will play the donkey.that's good. and i play santa claus.
it's just because i am the onlyone who can fit the suit. it's also a rather boring role.and then we need... did you find santa claus yet?otherwise you can use your father. - shut up!- remember our bet. - don't worry, little hans.- little? you're the one to talk. then we need josef and maria.who hasn't got a part yet? yrsa and krumme,did you get a part? we need a christmas elf and josef. hans, try to stand next to yrsa.
you are a nice looking couple. you know everything aboutelfs and santa claus, krumme. you can be the christmas elf. krumme! jansen! help me! i'm stuck! i can't see anything!i'm blind! i wonder what a teacher'ssalary is on the south pole? tweet, tweet, little bird! hello and merry christmas.
- svendsen!- its name is victor. stay still! she really bossesaround with the nice man. watch out, svendsen! svendsen! svendsen! that was horrible! i really want to crush you,because i hate christmas. and i will destroy it for my brother. it's svendsen inside the chimney.
who else? but, mr svendsen! - are you hurt, svendsen?- i don't know. i just got here. i think i'm somewhat whole. - what about victor?- don't worry about it. i had it in my hand,but it got away again. - nice, amigo.- thanks. - you should go to the emergency room.- i just need some peace and quiet. amigo. go up and sellsome christmas trees.
- svendsen, i'll put a band-aid on it.- band-aids cannot help the soul. mr svendsen is overworked and shouldseek medical help and take some time off. what about... your advent calendar?we'll take care of it. i promise you that you will win first prize. - i will make some coffee.- with a little brandy on the side. i wonder what that bent is up to? don't you want a homebakedcookie, my little friend? - it's svendsen's cookies.- yes, but i am helping him, remember?
then maybe i can get to work in peace? - i'll give it to you at a cheap price.- how much? 100 kroner ($20). if you buy it with a stand,you can have it for 75 kroner ($15) we have a discount offer,if you buy two stands. - you pick it up the day before christmas eve.- i'll put aside for you. what do you say now, bent?i sold one more tree. i say screw the christmas trees. - i don't think it's possible to do so.- then i don't give a shit about them.
isn't it better to use a bathroom? - there are more important things than trees.- not if you're a christmas tree seller. now listen: - you can't do that.- of course you can. - i've never done anything wrong.- you're selling stolen trees. dumb, dumber, dumbest.we stole the trees out in the forest. - you saif it was your forest.- yes yes. i was wrong.it can happen to anyone of us. but you're in it,whether you wish to or not.
if you tell anyone, you're going to jail.and then you can kiss senorita goodbye. - can't i just get my money?- no way. - i don't like it, bent.- just do as i say. and i hope that you can read the things i wrote though i know that you are busyon your playtoy factory but i'm hoping that youhave a sack of christmas things to me from you dearest santa clausplease don't believe that i am going nuts and crazy
