1	November 25, 2009 December 5, 2009 (Theatrical Release)	A Very Monkey Christmas	It is Christmastime but George and The Man In The Yellow Hat have a problem. They must both find out what each other wants for Christmas. George draws out his Christmas list with a simple picture but The Man cannot seem to see what it is, nor can anybody else who has an animal companion, like The Doorman or Chef Pisghetti even though they can perfectly understand their companion. The Man tells George to just surprise him and George decides to make him a present, although he cannot decide what to make. Meanwhile, Betsy tries to write her Aunt Margaret a new Christmas Carol but everything about Christmas, from snow to Santa, already has a song. Soon Betsy writes the first song about a Christmas monkey and The Man gets visited by Mr. Reloj in a dream who shows him what George's life would be like if he were the animal companion of other characters on the show. Since each character specifically understands their own animal friend, and George is George no matter who he is together with, The Man learns that he is George's proper companion and finally finds out what George wants.
