(Paw Pilot) "The Living Holiday Lights."
It must be nice to have a family, Rapide.
You’ve got Vapeur,
and Celeste has her grandparents.
It is a wonderful thing to have people you care about
and who care about you.
Say, I have people I care about, too.
I care about Wolfie.
-I wonder how he’s doing. -(beeps)
Special Agent Oso to Special Agent Wolfie.
Come in, Wolfie.
Special Agent Oso to Special Agent Wolfie.
Come in, Wolfie.
Are you there ?
Oso? What’s going on?
Hey, Wolfie. Do you think you’ll be at the Dome later?
Hold on, Oso.
(children) Wolfie! Wolfie!
Sorry, Oso,
I’m a little busy.
Can we talk later?
Um, okay. Bye.
Gee, sounds like Wolfie has a lot of people he cares about.
-(watch chimes) -Mr. Dos here.
Good work, Oso.
You’re one step closer to your holiday present.
Oh, yeah, my present!
Now for the next part of your special assignment.
Help Noah set up the menorah for Hanukkah.
Sounds like a plan.
Paw Pilot, what are my special steps?
♪ Step one ♪
Find the menorah.
♪ Step two ♪
Put the candles in the menorah.
♪ Step three ♪
Have a grownup light the candles.
♪ Three special steps ♪
Those three special steps sound like the steps I used
to help Celeste with the Advent wreath.
Yes, Oso, but Advent and Hanukkah
are very different celebrations.
Really? So how do people celebrate Hanukkah, Paw Pilot?
(Paw Pilot) Like this.
♪ Hanukkah, Hanukkah The Festival of Lights ♪
♪ Hanukkah, Hanukkah ♪
♪ Another candle every night ♪
♪ You can light the menorah ♪
♪ And dance the Hora ♪
♪ Play with the dreidel That you’ve got ♪
♪ And everyone likes to eat Latkes a lot ♪
♪ Hanukkah, Hanukkah ♪
♪ The Festival of Lights ♪
♪ Hanukkah, Hanukkah ♪
♪ Another candle every night ♪
♪ But best of all ♪
♪ It’s the Festival ♪
♪ Of Light ♪
I can’t wait to help Noah celebrate Hanukkah.
(Rapide) Do not worry, Oso,
I will get you to Israel vite, vite.
(laughs) Fast, fast.
Phew. Here we are, Oso.
Jerusalem, Israel.
Thanks, Rapide. Now, to get to Noah’s house.
It’s gimel, Sarah. You win.
-I win. Yay! -(horn honks)
Huh? Special Agent Oso?
(Sarah giggles) Oso.
Hey, that looks like a fun game.
Oso, wow. Are you here on a special assignment?
That’s right. I’m here to help you set up the menorah for Hanukkah.
Paw Pilot, what’s our first step?
Step one, find the menorah.
My mom would know where the menorah is.
She’s in the kitchen.
Well, let’s go ask her.
You can keep playing, Sarah.
Oso’s going to help me set up the menorah.
I win! (giggling)
Hi, Noah’s mom.
Special Agent Oso! Happy Hanukkah.
Mom, do you know where we can find the menorah?
Hmm, it should be in the den, Noah.
Thanks. Let’s take a look-see.
Now, where’s the menorah?
Hmm, Paw Pilot,
can you remind me what a menorah looks like?
A menorah looks like this.
It’s a special candle holder for Hanukkah.
Let’s find the menorah together.
Do you see it anywhere?
There it is. Thanks!
We put the menorah in the window so everyone can see it.
Great work.
Now for step two,
put the candles in the menorah.
There’s a box of candles,
but it’s up pretty high.
No problem, Noah.
I’ll use my special grappling hook pen.
-(beeps) -Hah. Step back. Hah!
Whoa. Oops.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
(grunting)
Yes!
Oso, you got the candles.
Now we can put them in the menorah.
It’s all part of the plan,
more or less.
You’ll need to put the candles in the menorah
from right to left.
All right, let’s find the right side of the menorah together.
Okay, I know this is my right paw,
so if we’re going from right to left,
that means the first candle goes there.
Huh. That’s one.
Now, let’s count the rest of the candles.
Two, three, four,
five, six,
seven, eight, nine.
Wow, that’s a lot of candles.
There’s one candle for each night of Hanukkah,
plus the shamash.
The shamash is the special candle
that’s used to light the others.
Speaking of lighting,
you’re up to step three.
Have a grownup light the candles.
Hey, Josiah, look.
Special Agent Oso and I set up the menorah.
Wow, great job, guys.
Looks like we can light the candles right at sunset, Noah,
just like you wanted.
Yes, but you’ll need to hurry.
It will be sundown in eight seconds.
Eight.
Seven.
Six. Five.
Four.
Three.
Two.
One.
Assignment complete!
(Sarah giggles)
Dreidel. Dreidel.
Good idea, Sarah. Let’s all play.
(children laughing)
Looks like fun, Noah.
It sure is.
This is my favorite part of Hanukkah.
You can play, too, Oso.
Thanks, Josiah,
but I have to go to the U.S.A.
for the next part of my special assignment.
Well, before you go,
at least let me give you your Hanukkah present.
It’s your very own dreidel.
Now you can have fun during Hanukkah, too.
Wow, I can’t wait to play with it.
Thanks, Noah.
(all) Happy Hanukkah, Oso.
Bye, everybody. Happy Hanukkah.
Hey, is that Dotty’s jet?
No. I wonder where she is.
Oso to Dotty. Are you there, Dotty?
Hey there, Oso.
(children chanting) Oso! Oso!
Uh, hi, Dotty. How are things going?
-Oso! Oso! -Shh!
(laughs)
Go on up into the spaceship.
I’m still working on getting something for my friend.
Will you be back at the Dome later?
We’ll see, Oso.
The snow’s slowing me down,
so I need to get back to it.
See you, Oso. Over and out.
Well, hope she has a nice time with her friend.
(Rapide) Hey, Oso, come, look.
The train tracks, they do not cross the sea.
(sighs) This is as far as I can go.
(Oso) I don’t know.
If I can’t get across the ocean,
I won’t be able to finish my special assignment.
What am I going to do?
(sleigh bells jingling)
Huh?
Oso, do you hear what I hear?
Jingle bells.
From up in the sky.
(horn honks)
Whirly Bird!
Who were you expecting, Santa Claus?
Boy, am I glad to see you.
I need to get across the ocean to the U.S.A.
Well, climb aboard.
I’ll have you there in a jingle.
Bye, Rapide. See you back at the Dome.
But of course, Oso.
(blows whistle)
Paw Pilot, what special steps will I need
to help Braden set up the kinara for Kwanzaa?
♪ Step one! ♪
Find a kinara.
♪ Step two ♪
Put the candles in the kinara.
♪ Step three ♪
Have a grownup light the candles!
♪ Three special steps ♪
Thanks, Paw Pilot.
Sounds like I’m helping another family light their holiday candles.
You’re right, Oso.
All the celebrations in your special assignment
have candles to light.
Neat. I can’t wait to meet Braden
and find out more about Kwanzaa.
You’ll find out soon enough, Oso.
Hang on.
(Whirly) Here we are, Washington, D.C.
Great. That’ll help Braden with his holiday lights.
(Whirly) You say you want to fall from a height?
Whatever you say.
No, I-- I didn’t say-- Whirly!
Special Agent Oso!
(door opens)
That’s me.
Are you going to help me set up the kinara for Kwanzaa?
Yes, I am, Braden.
Paw Pilot, what’s our first step?
Step one, find the kinara.
The kinara holds seven candles,
one candle for each principle of Kwanzaa.
And the first principle of Kwanzaa is Umoja.
It means "unity."
Cool. Now, let’s find the kinara.
Wow, this is really cool.
Look, Oso! I think I found it.
Does this hold seven candles?
Let’s count and find out.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven.
Yeah! This is the kinara.
Thanks for helping me count.
Great job. Now for step two.
Put the candles in the kinara.
You’ll need three red candles,
three green candles,
and one black candle.
The black candle goes in the tallest candleholder.
So which candleholder is the tallest one?
The one in the middle. Thanks.
Now, the red candles go on the left,
and the green go on the right.
Great work!
Now you’re ready for step three.
Have a grownup light the candles.
Special Agent Oso,
what are you doing here?
I’m helping Braden learn how to set up the kinara.
Dad, can you light the Umoja candle for us?
Sure, Braden. Let’s get the whole family to watch.
Hey, everybody, come gather around.
Habari Gani? What’s the good news?
Now, we say the day’s principle, Oso.
(both) Umoja.
Assignment complete.
Hey, Oso, I know you have to go,
but I have a little present to thank you for your help.
This is a Unity Cup.
My whole family shares a drink from it
as part of our Kwanzaa celebration.
What a great present, thanks.
I just wish I had a family to share it with like you do.
Everywhere I go,
I see people celebrating holidays with their families.
But I’m sure you have friends you can celebrate with.
Good friends can be like family, too.
Family are friends. It’s just nice to celebrate
the holidays with people you care about.
And who care about you.
Mmm, like Wolfie and Dotty.
I care about them and they care about me.
Then that’s who you should spend your holidays with, Oso.
You’re right, huh?
I should head back to the UNIQUE Dome.
-Bye, Oso. -Joyous Kwanzaa, Oso.
Good-bye, Oso.
Joyous Kwanzaa, Braden. Bye.
Hurry, Whirly.
I’m trying, Oso, but it’s really foggy up here.
There’s the Dome, Whirly.
I can’t wait to see Wolfie, Buffo, and Dotty.
Vapeur! Rapide!
Bonswa, sir. Good evening.
I have your Christmas tree.
Thanks, Vapeur.
Whirly, let’s set it up on the plaza.
(beeps)
There we go.
Perfect, Whirly, thanks.
Sure thing, Oso.
Glad we could help.
Au revoir, Oso.
Enjoy your presents.
I will! Bye!
(Whirly) Thanks for inviting me to your family Christmas party, Rapide.
(Rapide) But of course, Whirly. You are like a brother to me.
Wolfie! Buffo! Dotty?
I’m back.
Anybody here?
Hmm.
I know, I’ll call Mr. Dos.
I finished my assignment,
so he has to give me my special holiday present.
(clears throat) Come in, Mr. Dos.
Mr. Dos is not here.
Leave a message and I’ll get back to you soon.
-(beeps) -Uh, hi, Mr. Dos. This is Oso.
-I’m just calling about my present. -(message beeps)
Mr. Dos is gone, too.
(sighs)
Well, at least I have these presents.
Hmm? Okay.
Let’s see.
(sighs)
What’s wrong, Oso? Don’t you like your presents?
Well, I like them.
It’s just I can’t share the Unity Cup
because there’s no one else here.
Having a dreidel isn’t much fun without anyone to play with me.
And what’s fun about decorating a Christmas tree
if I’m the only one who’s gonna see it.
Now I understand why Celeste, Noah, and Braden
like being with family and friends more than presents.
Presents aren’t fun if you can’t share them
with people you care about and who care about you.
Don’t be sad, Oso.
I’m here and I care about you.
I care about you, too, Paw Pilot.
I’m glad I at least get to spend the holidays with you.
Oso!
Buffo, you’re here?
Come quick, I need your help
and so do Dotty and Wolfie.
Dotty and Wolfie need me?
I’m on my way.
Oh, I’m trying to help Wolfie
and Dotty get back to the Dome.
You’re coming back here for the holidays.
What’s the problem?
I’ve got a whole heap of clouds up here.
I can’t even see the Dome.
Neither can I.
The river’s covered with fog.
Oh, what do we do?
(mumbles)
Cavolo!
Lights.
It actually means cabbage, Oso.
No, Buffo, listen.
My special assignment was all about Holiday lights,
and I think lights can help
Wolfie and Dotty get back home for the holidays.
Whirly, Rapide, Vapeur, come in!
I’ve got a plan.
Peek-a-boo, Wolfie. I see you.
I see you, too, Whirly. Thanks for the light.
Now, I can see my way to the Dome.
(Rapide) Woot-woot.
(gasps)
(giggles)
Look at all those lights.
It’s the Dome’s runway.
Now, I can land the space jet.
(Rapide) Woot-woot.
(tires screech)
Spot on, Oso.
-Huh. -(howls) Outstanding.
(Oso laughs)
-(watch chimes) -Mr. Dos, you’re back, too.
Good work, Oso.
But you’ve done more than help
Dotty and Wolfie get back to the Dome.
You’ve also helped light all the holiday lights
in your special assignment.
And that means you’ve earned your special holiday present.
You know, I don’t need a present, Mr. Dos.
I’m just happy to be with my friends for the holidays.
In that case,
I think you’re gonna love your holiday present, Oso.
And here it is!
(crowd clamors)
(crowd cheers)
I told you you had friends, Oso.
Remember me, Oso? You helped me get a library book.
-Joe? -You helped me make a salad.
Jade?
And you helped me brush my teeth.
Danny? Wow.
You’ve brought all the kids I’ve ever helped,
and they all have ornaments that look like Digi-medals.
Come on, everyone, let’s hang those ornaments on the tree!
(cheers)
(Christmas carol playing)
(chuckles)
Now, this is a real holiday celebration.
Are you ready to light up the tree, Oso?
I sure am, Buffo.
Let’s all count down with Paw Pilot.
Ready?
(all) Three,
two,
one!
(all cheer)
What do you think of your special holiday present, Oso?
I think that spending the holidays
with people you care about is the best present anyone can get.
And I’m, oh, so happy
that I get to spend it with you, too.
(all cheer)
