That's usually when I catch up on some personal stuff.

I check my in-box or I check my e-mails.

I send thank-you notes.

And I was just running -- [ Cheers and applause ]

I was running a bit behind today.

-Really? -Yeah.

Anyways, I'd like to write out some thank-you notes right now.

Is that cool with you guys? [ Cheers and applause ]

James, can I get some

thank-you-note-writing music, please?

[ Soft music playing ]

-Wow. Look at that. -Wow!

-Thank you, Three Wise Men bringing gifts of

gold, frankincense, and myrrh, for showing us

you clearly never have been to a baby shower.

It's like, "Diapers. Diapers."

[ Soft music playing ]

Thank you, tinsel, for showing me what my tree would look like

if it went through a '70s glam-rock phase.

-Nice! -Yeah.

[ Soft music playing ]

Thank you, Christmas, for being that special time

we reflect on the Holy Trinity --

regular, cheesy, and caramel.

Mix them both. Oh, you rebel!

[ Soft music playing ]

Thank you, Christmas lawn inflatables in the morning,

for looking like Frosty went a little too hard

the night before.

-Oh, no!

-[ Yawns ] Leave me alone.

"Wake up, wake up, Frosty."

-Blow me up.

-Ugh!

-Mm, Frosty!

[ Soft music playing ]

-Thank you, Christmas dinner,

for basically panicking and being like,

"Uh, let's just do Thanksgiving again, plus ham.

Yeah, that's what we'll do.

I don't know. Sure."

[ Soft music playing ]

Thank you, stores that offer gift wrapping,

for being a fun way of asking,

"Hey, want to be stuck here for an extra 40 minutes?"

I guess so.

[ Soft music playing ]

Thank you, wrapping gifts yourself,

for taking 10 seconds to go from "This is coming out great" to

"I mean, I don't need to cover the whole box."

No one looks at the bottom. -Yeah.

-Come on, it looks gorgeous.

Take a picture of it, yeah.

And save that wrapping paper. I want to use it next year.

[ Soft music playing ]

Thank you, eggnog, for easily being one of the top-five nogs.

Easily. -Easily, yeah.

[ Soft music playing ]

-Thank you, Rudolph saving Christmas,

for proving that Santa can make truly anything in his workshop,

as long as it's not headlights.

"Rudolph, you get in front, and --"

"Huh?" -Oh, no!

[ Soft music playing ]

-Thank you, sugarplums, for sounding suspiciously like

someone just trying to rebrand prunes.

"Uh, they're sugarplums.

-Is that the last one of 2021?

-[ Chuckles ] Wow.

This is the last one of 2021.

We're all here together, sharing this experience.

[ Cheers and applause ]

-♪ A shared experience ♪

-I know. I love it. So happy.

Well, I want to thank each and every one of you

for coming out tonight and laughing...

[ Cheers and applause ]

...cheering...

[ Cheers and applause ]

...hooting...

[ Audience hoots ]

...hollering...

[ Crowd cheering ]

...yelling.

[ Crowd cheering ]

Whispering...

...loving... -Aww!

-...caring... -Ooh!

-...being jealous... -Ah!

-...being... [ Laughter ]

Yes.

[ Soft music playing ]

Thank you, Santa Claus, for festively testing

the limits of breaking-and-entering laws.

There you have it, everybody.

That's our last "Thank You Note" of 2021.
