Everything returns to normal when the Music Man gives Lady Elaine an ice-skating experience — a gift that does not need to be wrapped. When King Friday gives the word, presents are allowed to be opened throughout the Neighborhood — the first being a Christmas decoration for Lady Elaine put together in parts by all of her neighbors.
Back at the house, Mister Rogers talks about different family traditions — Christmas, Chanukah, and those who celebrate neither. He suggests that all presents are a sign of love. At the get-together, everyone sings as Stephanie prepares for her performance. She is overjoyed when her family arrives. Stephanie proudly performs her dance on the stage. Returning to the house, Mister Rogers concludes: “I, for one, wish you good memories of this holiday. And I hope you’ll be able to look for all the different ways that people have of showing that they love you.”
