Pingu's Family Celebrate Christmas
It's Christmas Eve, and Pingu and his family are getting ready for Christmas. They help Mother make some biscuits, and then they go with Father to help choose a Christmas tree. Pinga suggests a large Christmas tree and Pingu suggests a small one but Father picks one that's the right size and Pinga pays the seller. While Father puts up the tree, Mother gets the wrapped presents to put under it. Pingu and Pinga want theirs now, but Mother says wait. Mother then trips over a rope on her way to the tree, and drops the presents. Fortunately not breaking them. She blames Father, and they have a big argument. Pingu and Pinga came out to hear the argument, and Pingu and Pinga look very upset and tell them to make up, which they do. Mother then tells Pingu and Pinga to go into the igloo, and to make sure they stay there and can’t see out she locks the door and blocks up the keyhole. Mother and Father then decorate the tree, while inside the igloo Pingu and Pinga wrap up Mother and Father’s presents. When Mother lets them out, they take their presents to put under the tree, and are surprised when they see it all decorated. They give their presents to Mother and Father; Mother gets a red muff for 2 hands and Father gets a black and white spotted bow tie. Pingu and Pinga then open their presents. Pingu gets a book, a ball and some blue earmuffs while Pinga gets a teddy bear, a dummy and a red scarf. As night quickly falls, the sound of the church chimes and the tree lights up and Father tells everyone to sing Silent Night for a happy Christmas.

Famous quotes containing the words family, celebrate and/or christmas:
“My ambition for station was always easily controlled. If the place came to me it was welcome. But it never seemed to me worth seeking at the cost of self-respect, or independence. My family were not historic; they were well-to-do, did not hold or seek office. It was easy for me to be contented in private life. An honor was no honor to me, if obtained by my own seeking.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Go, you are dismissed.
[Ite missa est.]”
—Missal, The. The Ordinary of the Mass.
Missal is book of prayers and rites used to celebrate the Roman Catholic mass during the year.
“The eighth day of Christmas,
My true love sent to me
Eight maids a-milking,”
—Unknown. The Twelve Days of Christmas (l. 43–45)
