Air Date: December 17th, 2014

Summary
It was Christmas on the Island of Sodor and all the engines were happy except Duncan. He was always in a bad mood about the cold weather. At the first station he told Rheneas about the cold weather, then he told Rusty that there wasn't enough sand, and he told Skarloey that his extra passengers made him late. When Rusty, Rheneas, and Skarloey arrived at the Depot they talked about how Duncan was complaining to them. Then Thomas came and said the Christmas decorations at the Depot should cheer Duncan up, but when he got there they didn't. 

Then Thomas told Duncan that he was going to get a new coat of paint for Christmas, and Rusty said that Mr. Percival had the same idea, so now Duncan was still grumbling, but looked forward to a new coat of paint. But when Duncan got to the Steam Works Mr. Percival was there talking to Victor, then he told Duncan that he could have a new coat of paint tomorrow if he was cheerful for the rest of the day.

Then Duncan had to wait at the station for passengers when Skarloey came and asking how he was, he said every thing was fine. Then he went to a level crossing, but the gates were stuck, so he had to wait and the passengers hummed a tune, Duncan was about to blow his whistle, but Rusty came and he smiled.

Latter that day Duncan was on a hill and Luke was hauling a Christmas tree. Then Duncan forgot to be cheerful and realized he put Luke in a bad mood, so he pushed him up the hill. Now he was disappointed that he wouldn't get his new coat of paint. But the next day he went to the Steam Works anyway to apologize to Mr. Percival about what he had done. Mr. Percival said he would get a new coat of paint for helping Luke up the hill and that he was wrong to ask Duncan not to be grumpy because that was how he was.
