00:00:15.500 --> 00:00:18.080
It was just a week before Christmas.

2
00:00:18.620 --> 00:00:22.820
There was some snow outside my house, but now the sun was shining.

3
00:00:22.820 --> 00:00:29.120
And my mother and father were taking me downtown to see all the wonderful Christmas things.

4
00:01:09.460 --> 00:01:17.300
All the people, everywhere, on the streets and in the stores, looking, shopping, talking,

5
00:01:17.300 --> 00:01:19.500
laughing and hurrying.

6
00:01:26.300 --> 00:01:28.120
I could easily have gotten lost.

7
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:05.100
And then I was lost, though I didn't know it yet.

8
00:02:05.100 --> 00:02:10.080
Lost among the sights and smells and sounds of Christmas downtown.

9
00:03:17.020 --> 00:03:19.600
I hardly knew it was getting dark.

10
00:03:19.600 --> 00:03:25.380
The lights were everywhere, like a million birds, like little pieces of fire.

11
00:03:48.660 --> 00:03:51.620
I was downtown at Christmas.

12
00:04:04.020 --> 00:04:21.600
And I could see the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and the lights and

13
00:04:22.540 --> 00:04:27.680
Marvelous things were everywhere surprises around every corner

14
00:04:36.880 --> 00:04:42.100
and wherever I went everybody was looking and looking and looking

15
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:06.260
And, and, and, and the Christmas windows went.

16
00:05:36.260 --> 00:05:36.800
The.

17
00:05:43.100 --> 00:05:43.140
The.

18
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:53.300
The.

19
00:05:56.020 --> 00:05:57.000
The.

20
00:05:58.480 --> 00:05:58.840
The.

21
00:05:59.920 --> 00:06:00.000
The.

22
00:06:01.300 --> 00:06:01.300


23
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:01.800


24
00:06:03.200 --> 00:06:03.480
The.

25
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:03.820
The.

26
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:14.660
The.

27
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:23.600


28
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:27.520
The.

29
00:06:28.640 --> 00:06:28.640


30
00:06:29.540 --> 00:06:29.540


31
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:31.920
The

32
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:31.920


33
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:32.180
The

34
00:07:03.860 --> 00:07:07.720
Then it seemed that the Christmas animals were going to sleep.

35
00:07:16.020 --> 00:07:19.220
All of a sudden, I felt alone.

36
00:07:19.960 --> 00:07:22.480
There must be more to Christmas than this.

37
00:07:32.500 --> 00:07:35.200
That was when I heard the church bells.

38
00:07:40.900 --> 00:07:45.300
When I looked along the street, I saw the Holy Family.

39
00:07:53.320 --> 00:07:55.760
And it was then that I found my parents.

40
00:08:01.900 --> 00:08:12.400
I didn't understand all that had happened to me, but the birth of the Christ child, I now knew, was the real reason for all the wonderful Christmas things.
