The other day, I saw this in the news.

Amazon just released an Alexa compatible Christmas tree.

It costs $299.

You can control the lights by talking to Alexa.

I can't believe they're doing that.

I can't believe I bought one.

Bring it out.

Thank you, Andy.

Let's see if it works.

Alexa, turn on tree lights.

Sure, Ellen.

Turning lights on.

Oh, it's amazing.

That's very cool.

Alexa, can you make the lights blink?

No problem, Ellen.

We wish you a Merry Christmas.

We wish you--

- I didn't ask you - Wish, wish, wish.

I didn't-- stop.

Wish, wish, wish.

I didn't ask you to sing.

What a Grinch.

All right.

Well, this is great.

But not everybody celebrates Christmas, so I'm coming out with the first smart menorah.

Look at that.

This is Morty the menorah.

Morty is just like Alexa, but he can also help with your Hanukkah traditions.

Isn't that right, Morty?

That's right, Ellen.

Would you like me to make a reservation for dinner Christmas day?

There are five Chinese restaurants in your area.

No, no, no thanks.

But look what else.

Morty, light the menorah.

Ellen, I can't.

It's not Hanukkah yet.

When is Hanukkah?

It starts Sunday, December 22nd.

OK.

Thanks, Morty.

How do you spell Hanukkah?

C-H-A-N-- Alexa, how do you spell Hanukkah?

Hanukkah is spelled H-A-N-N?

Morty, let's spell it together.

C, H, A, N, Q, S.

4, L.

Hyphen.

L, L.

X.

The number three.

5, hashtag, 2.

You know what?

- R - A car.

You guys, hey.

That's OK.

I'm sorry I asked.

Just take a break, okay?.

I have some exciting news for all my viewers.

I am looking for elves to help me with my 12 Days of Giveaways.

All you have to do is send me a short video telling me why you'd make a fantastic elf.

If I pick you, you'll join my elite elf crew.

We have had some big names serve as elves.

We've had Jeff Garland.

And we have had Andy.

I guess that's it.

So upload your video to Ellentube with the title Ellen's Little Helper.

We'll be back.
