00:00:00You
00:00:21If you've come to wonder
00:00:25Just how I've been
00:00:28Well, I've been so searching for a while
00:00:34If you found thinking I just ran away probably right
00:00:44Leave it up to me to go
00:00:54In my lowest moment
00:00:57Three angels came to me
00:01:00Helped me feel the strength
00:01:08Around me
00:01:13Daddy you're going to be father christmas
00:01:27I
00:01:30Love her so much Felix. She is just so beautiful just like a mom
00:01:39We are gonna have the most peaceful Christmas this year just the three of us
00:01:46Now you sure your parents don't mind that we're not going to them this year they're fine darling
00:01:50That's what we'll see them in a new year. I just couldn't face the journey
00:01:54I mean this little munchkin is enchanting, but she's exhausting class. I hate the holidays
00:02:01Just find everyone so annoying. Well
00:02:05We are going to be
00:02:07alone
00:02:09My family were pretty appalling last year when they your family are mad I know
00:02:16But it all ended well darling I
00:02:19Love you. I love you
00:02:24I
00:02:30Is this it's Caroline your sister
00:02:34Are you insane calling this late Joanna? What are you talking about? It's not late. It's 8 p.m
00:02:39I left you three messages, and you never called me back
00:02:42Is that Chloe crying who else would it be she was sleeping and you have woken her up
00:02:47God knows how much gonna take me to get her down again. Well. I am sorry, but why do you keep a phone in her bedroom?
00:02:52It's absurd she was in bed with me Caroline
00:02:56Now what do you want? Have you heard from Vicky?
00:03:00Because I haven't spoken to Vicky lately she's off in Tibet
00:03:04Finding herself of course. I'm in London. We need to call an emergency sisters meeting Oh God
00:03:10What is the Christmas family done now?
00:03:13It's dad
00:03:15He's disappeared what?
00:03:17again
00:03:23Oh
00:03:36Sisters come in quick. I've got milk on I
00:03:44Haven't slept a wink since you called I am exhausted all I do is pick up
00:03:51This stuff bring it here and the second I turn around again, it's just come back
00:03:57Okay, Karen my tree isn't decorated. Can you just stop staring at it. I wasn't yes you were I only bought you yesterday
00:04:05It's lovely
00:04:07She's adorable
00:04:10He's daddy's little girl
00:04:13So it's good to see you in London Caroline, how's everything at the manor? Oh, you know wonderful
00:04:20Okay, can we just start this emergency sisters meeting? Okay? That's my cue to leave
00:04:35I
00:04:37Had a call two days ago from Jackie
00:04:40We've kind of developed a friendship really really and guess what she and dad broke up two months ago
00:04:48Dad told her that he wasn't in love with her anymore and told her to pack her things and leave just like that
00:04:53You see he finally saw through her and I saw through her the minute I met her remember that
00:04:59Well, actually, I think she's rather sweet. I mean when I spoke to her yesterday
00:05:02She seems very sad about the whole thing and she's terribly worried about dad. You spoke to her, too
00:05:08Yes, of course. Anyway, she's been trying to call him for days and it just completely disappeared
00:05:12The neighbors went round to the house and it's all closed up
00:05:14But Jackie went to the house and she had a quick look at dad's credit card statements
00:05:18And dad has made several payments from a hotel in Nevis in the Caribbean. I've tried to call him there
00:05:24He's not taking any calls completely disappeared. I think dad is having a massive emotional reaction. He must be totally depressed
00:05:32Well, what does mum say about all this? Well mum's on a cruise in the Nile with uncle John
00:05:38Yes, but it's fine. It's fine. Everything's fine
00:05:42Why why is it fine
00:05:44Well, because I've booked tickets for the three of us. We're going to the Caribbean this afternoon
00:05:49What?
00:05:50Yes boost dad's morale perk him up a bit and we'll all be back here in England by the 22nd just in time for Christmas
00:05:55You two are insane. That is a wonderful idea
00:06:02I couldn't help but listen
00:06:04Darling you need to do this, you know, go find your dad get some sun and come back for Christmas
00:06:10There's no way I am leaving you two
00:06:16You're a wonderful mother
00:06:18We need a break. It's only for a few days. I do look a little bit what?
00:06:24exhausted
00:06:26Really
00:06:31Okay, I could do with a bit of sleepy time definitely sweetheart jolly good
00:06:38You might want to start packing flight leaves at 4. Oh, what?

00:13:06Congratulations
00:13:10Why if I ask you a private question
00:13:13Sure
00:13:15You're a big star back in America
00:13:18Why are you hiding out on a little Caribbean island singing in a beach bar? I
00:13:26Reckon everybody on this island asking that same question. I
00:13:31Wouldn't know don't really take part in gossip
00:13:36I'll be honest with you my friend
00:13:41Back in the day I
00:13:45Woke up every morning just living to write another song
00:13:50Music was everything I
00:13:54Wrote a bunch of songs
00:13:57And got damn lucky a couple times
00:14:00real lucky
00:14:02but
00:14:03My dad always said I'd rather be lucky than good
00:14:07You're right about that
00:14:11Anyhow
00:14:14What goes up must come down
00:14:18Yeah, I learned it's a hard way
00:14:22Music business
00:14:25Became all about the business
00:14:30Music just got lost
00:14:34Dried up couldn't write a damn song if I had to
00:14:41Just wasn't inspired
00:14:45One day I got to thinking music is the common thread between the heart and soul in the universe
00:14:54Yeah, anyway, I'm still searching I just don't know what I'm searching for
00:15:03I'll tell you one thing that changed when I came here. I
00:15:09Was at peace just loved it here and I never left
00:15:21I'll drink to that right on my brother
00:15:34I
00:15:37Hope that is on this island
00:15:44That's it breathe
00:15:50Let the majesty of the island feel it
00:15:58Inhale exhale
00:16:04That's good
00:16:10Listen to the silence I
00:16:14Can't believe you didn't make us a reservation at the hotel
00:16:17It would have tipped him off that we were coming and knowing dad would have just disappeared to another island or something
00:16:22Well, okay, but you better find it before Christmas because I need to get back to my baby
00:16:27I know but we had to come here and find dad. I mean, we don't know where he is
00:16:31It can't be that difficult. It's a very small island
00:16:37Listen to the silence
00:16:55Having a yoga session here
00:16:57Do you know these people I'm afraid I do
00:17:05I'm so sorry. I have to go. It's not a problem. Sorry
00:17:12All right
00:17:18I'm doing yoga on the beach. Yeah, you see that we have been worried sick about you dad. You're doing yoga
00:17:25What are you doing here girls
00:17:28You totally disappeared Jackie rang me. She was in a complete panic
00:17:32I told Jackie that she was too young for me. She had to move on with her life
00:17:36We don't care about Jackie. We care about you. Yes. We've called the hotel so many times
00:17:42I left so many messages can't a man disappear without being hunted down by his nosy daughter
00:17:46No, you see this is what our father is like
00:17:51Donna what are you even doing here? What about Felix and Chloe?
00:17:54They're at home in London and I'm here because these two nutcases
00:17:58Imagine you lying half-dead on a beach somewhere. I am here to rescue you daddy
00:18:03Aren't you just a little bit happy to see us dad?
00:18:07Of course
00:18:24That's what I call family
00:18:36You
00:18:55Hey, it's me. Hey, hi honey. She made it then
00:19:00Oh
00:19:05You can see we've got a crying baby
00:19:09What's good, have you found your dad yet?
00:19:14Yeah, dad is absolutely fine can you believe it he was doing yoga on the beach when we arrived
00:19:23Look darling, I've got a crying baby
00:19:29Does she miss me
00:19:46So
00:19:49How is my little granddaughter Julie, oh daddy she is just gorgeous
00:19:55Picture I do
00:19:57Yeah, well that was yesterday
00:19:59I mean
00:20:01I'm gonna be wrong. She's a handful. Oh
00:20:03Well spies there with who her mother is
00:20:07Well, she's adorable how's Felix doing he's fine
00:20:10You how are you my daughter? I'm fine
00:20:16So I am pretty stressed most of the time
00:20:20I mean having a baby is wonderful, but it's a bit like being in the eye of a storm
00:20:25it's
00:20:27magnificent fabulous
00:20:30But scary I
00:20:33Don't even know if I'm doing everything right dad. I mean there's just so much for me to remember
00:20:40Some of the time I just self-indulgently throw myself on the sofa and cry
00:20:46That made me a bad mom
00:20:49Your mother and I were lost when you came along we were just 17 years old your mother was scared senseless
00:20:55You'll see
00:20:57It's easier day to day

00:21:40Such a tiny little thing
00:21:44Whereas Felix he took to it like a duck to water
00:21:48Honestly, I really think they have some little secret sign language going on behind my back
00:21:53Having a child changes a woman
00:21:55Brings out the best in her. What are you saying? I was any different before what no
00:22:03Caroline about you and Peter. How are things with you two? No. Well after last year's crisis

00:33:29Love you, I love you more
00:33:47You
00:33:54So four daughters
00:34:01Certainly kept that one quiet
00:34:03You really are a man of mystery. Mr. Christmas. Well
00:34:08Not really Megan
00:34:11You see honestly I carry a bit of shame about my daughter
00:34:16Which lasted until they forgave me just last Christmas
00:34:21Several years ago. My wife fell in love with my older brother. I'm sorry. Yeah
00:34:29And rather than have them watch me self-destruct I I
00:34:34Left them
00:34:37Well, they are here now and they must love you very much
00:34:47You
00:34:49Megan seems like a nice person
00:34:54But but what well usually when you make that noise, there's a buck
00:35:01But
00:35:04Don't you think it's just a little too soon after Jackie dad wants to have fun. He should have fun. It's none of our business
00:35:14Who are you and what you've done with Joanna
00:35:17I
00:35:19Still think we should find out more about today start digging. Why is it always me?
00:35:24Because you look so sweet and innocent and nobody suspects you
00:35:31Another wonderful day
00:35:35So Megan are you and my dad together? Oh my god, I can't believe she just asked that
00:35:41No, we're not
00:35:43Making a night just friends. Oh, yeah, friends are good
00:35:48Happy now
00:35:50And what about you Paulina Joanna and Caroline team happily married oh
00:35:55One I'm single and I'm a lesbian
00:36:01How about you Megan
00:36:03well
00:36:05My parents aren't around anymore. But even though I'm alone I could never leave the island
00:36:10Maybe this is my home. So no husband then
00:36:14No

00:40:37Was rooting around it dad's record collection
00:40:41all these wonderful old vinyls and
00:40:44I closed my eyes and I pulled out a random album
00:40:47And when they opened them, it was Tom Lamotown's Christmas greats
00:40:52And it put the record on and dad came in and he caught me dancing to the Jackson 5
00:40:57Singing Santa Claus is coming to town

00:41:43Never knew anyone to kiss with so much love as they did
00:41:47You
00:41:51Return Caroline. Oh, no, don't open Pandora's box. Oh
00:41:58It's easy last Christmas after being away for 15 years

00:59:39Why don't we all stay and have Christmas here?

01:00:01Come on, dad. Say yes
01:00:05Yeah sleep on it, okay, I'm going to bed good night ladies
01:00:12What do we think I don't know I
01:00:21Don't want to lose my daddy
01:00:41You
01:00:51You told them they adored us that you needed to know
01:01:02Why don't you go sleep on that
01:01:09Good night
01:01:11You
01:01:28Good morning, ladies. Okay, where's my dad your father left you this note. Thank you
01:01:37Meet me here in an address
01:01:41Oh
01:02:12You
01:02:21What is this place I bought it I'm thinking about slapping a fresh coat of paint on it
01:02:29Best view on the island and that rhythm it's just perfect
01:02:35now
01:02:36You three would kindly be seated. I
01:02:39Have something to explain to you
01:02:41You
01:02:51This thing I have this cancer
01:02:56It's in my head it's called a meningioma
01:02:58It started with headaches and dizziness a couple of blackouts
01:03:03They have to monitor its growth when it reaches a certain size. The only option is to operate if and when that happens I
01:03:10Will have to decide what to do if I choose to do that
01:03:14Then I will decide where to have the operation
01:03:18Until then I am staying here
01:03:22So you slept on our suggestions and ignored them I want you to go back to your families
01:03:30And to your dreams
01:03:33And it is not because I don't love you
01:03:35Because I want you to remember me like this
01:03:39It's not fair
01:03:41You know perfectly. Well, you would get much better treatment at home with all of us around you
01:03:47How could you do this to us? I
01:03:50Do not want you to change your life for me
01:03:54and more importantly I
01:03:57Do not want you to watch me fade away. I
01:04:02Will not allow it
01:04:04That's why you will be getting on that plane in the morning
01:04:07That's why you left Jackie, isn't it? Yes
01:04:11Jackie
01:04:12Is a vibrant beautiful young woman
01:04:15Her time is better spent elsewhere
01:04:19So you're basically just pushing away everybody who's ever loved you it's so selfish
01:04:37You
01:04:55It's not fair
01:04:58You can't just ask me just like that bye dad see you at your funeral
01:05:07I
01:05:09Cancer is treatable
01:05:12And I waited so long to have you back in my life and now I'm gonna lose her again
01:05:23I'm not gonna lose me. I promise
01:05:37Oh
01:05:40Hello Leo
01:05:41Hi, mr. Christmas. I have a question for you
01:05:44Go ahead. Would you please be my instructor for my sailing class today?

01:06:38to love and respect the water
01:06:41As much as they love and respect each other
01:06:45Yeah
01:06:48Yeah, I can see that
01:06:51You have to keep the world straight, you know, I'm trying that's a mind of its own
01:07:09Am I doing okay? Yes, you're doing great. Why are you staring at me? Your eyes are beautiful
01:07:15You look like a princess to me
01:07:45I
01:07:49Make you ask such a thing. I'm almost wondering. I heard her asking a friend. I see. So do you have one?
01:08:01Well
01:08:03Mom! Mr. Christmas doesn't have a girlfriend!
01:08:13Who's your dad, Leo?
01:08:16My parents are divorced
01:08:18I'm thinking of making a great dad
01:08:21Well, that's very kind of you. Why don't we just focus on the sailing for now, huh?
01:08:26You ready to come about? Yep
01:08:33It's obvious, right?

01:10:24It's often accompanied by their favorite person
01:10:26Hmm
01:10:30Hmm don't you agree dad if you're in your perfect place, it's best to be with somebody you love I
01:10:36Know what you mean? There's no point being in paradise if you'd know want to share it with
