It's Imagination Time with Katie!
Hi friends!
Welcome to a special Christmas-themed bonus episode of Super Simple's Imagination Time with Katie!
This special is inspired by the Super Simple song, The Great Christmas Tree Hunt.
Let's go.
Hello, hello.
It's good to be with you, my friend.
Hello, hello.
I'm glad we're together again.
We've got Zach on the keys.
Katie singing, la, la, la, la, la.
We'll have some fun in our imagination.
Go on adventures again and again.
Hello, hello.
It's good to be with you, my friend.
Hello, hello, and ho, ho, ho.
I'm Katie, and this is Zach.
Hello, hello, and ho, ho, ho.
It's Christmas time.
One of my favorite traditions at Christmas is the Christmas tree.
A beautiful evergreen tree that gets decorated with lights, tinsel, all sorts of decorations.
And it has a special spot inside our house for Christmas time.
Some families pick a tree from outside And some have reusable trees that they use every year.
I had a reusable tree growing up.
But today, let's imagine picking a Christmas tree from outside.
We'll search high and low, far and wide, all around the Christmas tree farm until we find the perfect one.
Let's clear our minds and relax our bodies so we can imagine a wintery wonderland filled with trees.
And somewhere out there, the perfect Christmas tree is waiting.
Ready, Zach?
Ready, Katie.
Are you ready, friends?
Let's take a deep breath all together.
In one, two, three, hold it.
Out three, two, one.
Let's imagine we're standing in a forest with snow all around us.
The sky is soft and gray. with snowflakes gently falling, falling, falling, falling all around us.
The branches on the green pine trees are dusted with sparkly snow.
Can you see it in your mind?
I imagine it feels a little cold.
Maybe you can imagine a snowy shiver in your body, moving from the top of your head down to your toes.
What do you hear?
I imagine it's so quiet and still, like the world is holding its breath.
Let's take a deep breath together and we can imagine our breath swirling around the trees as we breathe in and our breath coming back to us as we breathe out.
In one, two, three, hold it.
Out three, two, one.
Now, let's explore this wonderful winter wonderland and find our perfect Christmas tree.
We're on a hunt for the greatest Christmas tree.
We're on a hunt for the greatest Christmas tree.
We're going to find the one that's right for you and me.
We're going to find our Christmas tree.
Let's take a look around one step at a time.
Can you imagine the crunch, crunch, crunch sound of the snow underneath your feet?
I imagine our snow boots are making tracks of our footprints as we move through the forest.
There are so many trees.
Which one will be our Christmas tree?
There are so many, which is right for me?
Where, oh where, is the perfect Christmas tree?
There are so many trees to choose from.
I imagine I can see them stretched out across the field and up over the hill.
Can you see it in your mind?
They're all a little different That one is too wide That one is too small That one is too thin Oh!
What about that one?
I imagine I see a tree in front of us with long, sturdy branches and a trunk that goes up, up, up.
This tree would be able to hold so many ornaments and decorations.
It would be beautiful.
Hmm.
I think it might be a bit too tall.
Hmm.
Let's imagine looking up and we'll see how tall the tree is.
Let's look.
Up, up, up, up.
Whoa!
I imagine I can't even see the top of the tree.
It's so high up, it disappears into the clouds.
Can you see it in your mind?
How would we get a star on top of that tree?
I think you're right, Zach.
That one is too tall.
But I know the perfect tree is out there.
We just have to keep looking.
We're on a hunt for the greatest Christmas tree.
We're on a hunt for the greatest Christmas tree.
We're going to find the one that's right for you and me.
We're going to find a Christmas tree.
Let's walk a little further into the trees.
There are more trees to explore.
That one is too round, That one is too droopy, That one is too square.
Ooh, here's an interesting tree.
I imagine it has something on it.
Is the tree wearing a top hat?
I imagine it has a big polka dot bow tie on too.
This tree is goofy.
What do you imagine a goofy tree would look like?
Maybe it has a big red clown nose.
Or googly eyes.
Or maybe it comes to life.
Anything can happen in our imaginations.
It can be anything when we're imagining.
Anything, oh anything, imagine with me.
I imagine.
The goofy Christmas tree is moving.
It's come to life.
I imagine the tree is wiggling and spinning around.
As the tree dances, it shakes off the snow from its branches, making a little snowstorm around it.
Can you see it in your mind?
This tree is really goofy.
It might be a little too goofy for our Christmas tree.
That one is too goofy.
Let's keep looking.
We'll wave goodbye to the goofy tree. and we'll continue the hunt.
We're on a hunt for the greatest Christmas tree.
We're on a hunt for the greatest Christmas tree.
We're going to find the one that's right for you and me.
We're going to find a Christmas tree.
What's that?
I imagine a tree that is very different from the others.
It stands out among all the green branches because this tree has red and white stripes.
It must be a candy cane tree.
A tree made out of candy canes.
Candy cane, candy cane, candy cane tree.
Can you see the candy cane tree in your mind?
Its branches are made out of candy.
I imagine it even smells sweet.
And it's really pretty.
The red and white stripes look sparkly and delicious.
Red, just like Santa's coat, White just like all the snow.
Don't you think it's the perfect Christmas tree?
Perfect for you and me Is this our perfect tree?
It's so hard to choose What if we don't find the perfect Christmas tree?
There are so many trees, but none of them seem just right.
Hmm.
This is harder than I thought it would be.
When I'm feeling big feelings, I stop and see how the big feelings Maybe we don't need to find the perfect tree.
We just need to find a tree that is perfect for us.
It doesn't have to be the tallest or the goofiest or the sweetest and most sparkly.
It doesn't even need to have the best branches or be the brightest green.
Because the tree we pick will be ours.
And we'll decorate it and love it and take care of it throughout the Christmas season.
That's what really matters for a Christmas tree.
Let's find the right tree that is just right for us.
Okay, let's walk a little further and we'll look at the trees in our mind.
Look around, look around Look around and see what can be found What about that tree over there?
It's a little lopsided.
Its branches are weak.
It's got a lumpy trunk.
It's a funny shade of green, But you know what?
It might not be the perfect tree, But now I truly see It's the perfect tree For you and me.
Can you see the tree in your mind?
A little lopsided And some of its branches might be a bit droopy, But it's not too tall and not too goofy.
It's a real Christmas tree.
Sometimes perfect doesn't look like what we thought it would be.
And it might not be perfect for everyone, but it's just right for us.
And I think this tree will make a great Christmas tree because it's ours.
You know what that means.
We did it.
We found our Christmas tree.
Oh, we have found the greatest Christmas tree.
Yes, we have found the greatest Christmas tree.
It isn't perfect, but it's right for you and me.
Oh, we have found our Christmas tree.
Oh, we have found our Christmas tree.
Thanks for going on our Christmas tree hunt imagination adventure.
I'm glad we kept looking and focused on what's really important when picking a Christmas tree.
How we take care of it and love it.
I hope your holidays are filled with love and care, even if they don't go perfectly or look like what you expected.
We'll see you soon for more Imagination Time, friends.
It's time to say goodbye for now.
Goodbye, goodbye Our time has come to an end Goodbye for now until we're together again.
Goodbye, goodbye, and happy holidays from all your friends at Super Simple.
