"Many years ago, before there were any automobiles and before we had electricity or even gas lighting and when people used horses if they wanted to go out for a ride and oil lamps and candles if they needed a light, there lived in a small country town, yes, a butcher, a baker, and a candlestick-maker. With just over a week to go before Christmas, the townspeople were busy indeed and none more so than the candlemaker and his young son, Tom."
"For in those days, quite small boys were expected to behave like grown men."
"For years now, every Saturday at 4:00, the candlemaker had been making the journey from his shop to the church across the square. Because God had been so good to him and blessed his home and his work, he showed his gratitude by giving his finest candles to shine up at the altar, as an offering to God."
"The family was up early next morning, for a busy week lay ahead. The candlemaker had to deliver quanitites of Christmas candles of all shapes and sizes to the outlying farms and villages."
"With his father away and his mother extra busy getting ready for Christmas, young Tom was in charge of the workshop, with the task of turning out many candles a day. And then there was the altar candle for the Christmas Eve service on Saturday."
"On that Christmas Eve long ago, the church was made beautiful by the loving work of loving hands, just as churches are today. Then and now, there was manger where boys and girls would bring the white Christmas offering for the children's home."
"Each member of the family had his own sad thoughts that night."
"Young Tom knew what his parents were thinking: that he had failed them, and that he had failed God."
"And so it was, many years ago, that the candlemaker's son learned the meaning of Christian stewardship, just as we must learn it today."

[walks out of the room] Kettle should have boiled by now. [sets up the tea tray with cups, pours tea in the teapot, grabs some crackers from the cabinet, and pours some on the plate; checks the fridge; eyes widen] No cheese, Gromit! [Gromit begins to sulk a bit] Not a bit in the house! [brings the tray to the living room, and take a bit out of a cracker; eyes widen with a gulp] Gromit, that's it! Cheese! We'll go somewhere where there's cheese! [Gromit is confused; looks at "Cheese Holidays" magazine] Now, where were we? Places you find cheese. Lancashire, Cheddar, Wensleydale, Philadelphia, Tesco's... [they stop reading and look out the window at the moon] Everybody knows the moon is made of cheese..."
"60 seconds to blast off. Oh! Unlock the doors. [Gromit pushes the button; the doors under the backyard opens, causing 3 garden gnomes to fall; realizes something's missing as Gromit looks on] No crackers, Gromit! We've forgotten the crackers! [Gromit became worried; slides down the ladder to get the crackers] Hold on, Gromit! Hold on! [grabs most of the pack of crackers from the cabinet; Gromit looks at the time, the fuse is still burning; runs back to the basement, climbs up the rocket, pushes down the ladder before locking the door shut. The fuse finishes burning as the clock chimes the bells. Then they hear the rumbling sound; the rocket is about to lift off, shaking the whole basement. The mice look on, and put on dark glasses. Gromit remembers with the snap, and pushes the lever as the rocket blasts off from the basement to the sky] GROOOMMMMIIITTT!!!"

"Nice drop of tea to get the tastebuds going. [drinks the cup] Plate. [Gromit gives him the plate] Knife. [Gromit gives him the knife] Cracker. [Gromit gives him the crackers; cutting the cone, putting 'moon cheese' on it, eating it] Hmm? See what you think. [gives a bowl to Gromit, sniffing it] Wensleydale? [Gromit shakes his head] Stilton? [Gromit shakes his head again; swallows the cheese] I don't know, lad. It's like no cheese I've ever tasted. [wipes his mouth] Let's try another spot. [pulls Gromit]"
"[The Cooker machine doesn't work] [getting annoyed] Come on, stupid! [pulls off a part of the machine] Oh! [Gromit is stunned; fixes the knob; walks off] Oh! Daylight robbery. They always nick your money, them flippin' machines. Come on, Gromit."
