00:04:06Yeah, of course. Drive safe. Dad, I got you out the phone to get in the car. Bye.
00:04:25This is Miller. I know the holidays are slow, but we should be able to find you a tent before New Year.
00:04:30Yeah. I can't tell you where I'm going to be moving the snowman. Hey, that would be cheating. Happy holidays.
00:04:39Hey, bud. Hey, buddy. I know you're busy, but I just want to let you know I'm still working on getting you that interview.
00:04:45You do realize this is poaching, don't you?
00:04:48Oh, I'm sorry. I was just... My mom's kidding, Josh.
00:04:52Of course. Merry Christmas, Mrs. Phillips.
00:04:56You're not five anymore, Josh. You can call me Judy.
00:04:59And it's not poaching if I'm the one asking you.
00:05:02I just wish your agency wasn't all the way in London.
00:05:05If I get the job.
00:05:07I'll try and set something up before Christmas.
00:05:09You're the best.
00:05:09Yes, I am.
00:05:12I'll see you tomorrow night, buddy.
00:05:13All right. Bye.
00:05:17So you really want to move?
00:05:19I just wish we had more exciting work for you.
00:05:21I love it here, Mom.
00:05:23That's not the issue.
00:05:24It's just everything that happened with Beth.
00:05:27I don't know.
00:05:28I think change could be good.
00:05:30We just want you to be happy.
00:05:31Me?
00:05:32I am happy.
00:05:33I'm very happy.
00:05:34Look, look at his smile.
00:05:36This is a happy smile.
00:05:37Very happy.
00:05:39Hey, we need you to get over there as soon as you can.
00:05:42Uh, okay.
00:05:43Where am I going?
00:05:45The leak of the River Street rental?
00:05:47It's just a family friend.
00:05:49You are Mr. Fix-It.
00:05:51I don't know about all that, but I can take a look.
00:05:55Okay, great.
00:05:55And we'll be there to see if you can ask Lee about his plans.
00:06:00Uh, what they're going to do with the house after the wedding?
00:06:03I left them a message.
00:06:05Okay, I got this.
00:06:21Hey, now we're going to go.
00:06:35I love you.
00:06:41I love you.
00:06:42Shoot.
00:07:12I am so sorry.
00:07:15I was turning around.
00:07:16I didn't expect to see anyone coming.
00:07:18Is it my timeline?
00:07:19Well, it's the exact same.
00:07:20Sam?
00:07:21Mike?
00:07:22Hi.
00:07:23Wow, it's been a long time.
00:07:27So good to see you.
00:07:31So good to see you.
00:07:33You're the handyman?
00:07:35I am today.
00:07:37Well, grab your tools.
00:07:39Let's get at it.
00:07:41Hi.
00:07:42How was your drive?
00:07:43It's good.
00:07:44Yeah?
00:07:45Good.
00:07:46I noticed the drip this morning.
00:07:48It's not good.
00:07:50Ooh.
00:07:51Yeah, okay.
00:07:52All right.
00:07:53Well, I'm on it.
00:07:55I just need to get up into your attic.
00:07:58Thanks, Mike.
00:08:03Now, how long have you known Mike?
00:08:06Uh, you know what?
00:08:07I don't even remember when we met when we were so young.
00:08:09They were inseparable as kids.
00:08:11Yeah.
00:08:12For the summer days when we came here.
00:08:13Yeah, but, I mean, best friends with school kid crushes.
00:08:16Oh.
00:08:17They had that long time ago.
00:08:19It's nice to see you two together, yeah?
00:08:21Okay.
00:08:22You know what?
00:08:23Talked your way out of getting your treats.
00:08:24No.
00:08:25Yeah.
00:08:26Is that something that you requested from the city?
00:08:29Honey, we've been here for two weeks.
00:08:31Two weeks and loving it, yeah.
00:08:33Uh-huh.
00:08:34But nothing beats Boston coffee.
00:08:35Did you get the holiday yet?
00:08:36Oh, yes.
00:08:37This is good.
00:08:38Uh, now, I know that you were born and raised here, so you probably have all your own holiday chocolates all lined up.
00:08:44But this is from our favorite store.
00:08:47Up to sweets, up to mint tea, and I figured it would help you push through that final little wedding planning.
00:08:53Peppermint Park is my favorite.
00:08:56I kid you not.
00:08:58I love this.
00:08:59Thank you so much.
00:09:00Yay.
00:09:01What else have we got?
00:09:02My other treat.
00:09:03I can't believe you made this.
00:09:10I used to make them every year with my art students.
00:09:26Even though I'm retired, I figured I would just keep the tradition going.
00:09:30This is our first Christmas together.
00:09:32I thought that it was the perfect Christmas life.
00:09:33Last wedding?
00:09:34Yes.
00:09:35Right?
00:09:36Perfect.
00:09:37And there's chocolates in everyone.
00:09:38Oh, cute.
00:09:40Uh, I'll get it out of you guys' hair.
00:09:42But, uh, looks good up there.
00:09:44If you have any more leaks, just give us a call.
00:09:48I definitely will.
00:09:49And, uh, tell your dad that I'll call another time I'm at the house.
00:09:52Okay?
00:09:53We'll do.
00:09:54Okay?
00:09:55Alright, good to see ya.
00:09:56You too.
00:09:57See you guys all at the wedding.
00:10:00Hey.
00:10:01Good to see ya.
00:10:02Yeah, you too.
00:10:03I mean, except for the near collision outside, but...
00:10:07Yeah?
00:10:08Well, hey.
00:10:09You never were a very good driver.
00:10:10Hey, I was learning, and I was being responsibly cautious.
00:10:14Oh, yeah.
00:10:15Fifteen miles an hour, rocking out with Sarah McLachlan.
00:10:18You can't speed to Sarah, huh?
00:10:20Okay.
00:10:21Well, I know you're gonna be busy this week, but if you need a Christmas in the Cape tour guide, let me know.
00:10:28Oh, thanks, yeah.
00:10:30But you're gonna be busy with your family and your wife and all that.
00:10:34I'm, uh, I'm not married anymore.
00:10:37What?
00:10:38I guess I figured you would've heard.
00:10:41No.
00:10:42No, I didn't hear that.
00:10:43I'm so sorry.
00:10:44It's all good.
00:10:45It really is.
00:10:46And I wanted to say I'm sorry, too.
00:10:49Um, for when?
00:10:50That summer, your mom got sick.
00:10:53I really meant to...
00:10:56But we don't need to talk about that.
00:10:58Okay.
00:10:59Hey.
00:11:00Merry Christmas.
00:11:01Merry Christmas.
00:11:02Merry Christmas.
00:11:12I'm like, what?
00:11:13Hey, what?
00:11:14That's right.
00:11:15Happy is your tree.
00:11:16And we actually had to cut a foot of it off.
00:11:19To even get it in.
00:11:21I've always been a sucker for the most ridiculously large Christmas trees.
00:11:25Oh, and holiday weddings.
00:11:26Well, okay, I will admit it.
00:11:28I'm a little Christmas crazy.
00:11:29That's the Christmas Eve wedding.
00:11:32Exactly.
00:11:33With our closest friends and family.
00:11:36It's just my absolute favorite time of the year.
00:11:39It always makes me feel like I'm probably something bigger.
00:11:43So it's an unconventional day for a wedding.
00:11:46A perfect Christmas.
00:11:48It is.
00:11:49And finding this love now is my own Christmas miracle.
00:11:54I do.
00:11:55Well, I got that tree decorated and I'd love for you to come see it.
00:11:57So do you want to come by the house?
00:11:58And we can make some cookies or finish making the chocolate molds for the wedding fairs?
00:11:59Yeah, but not tomorrow.
00:12:00Oh, no.
00:12:01Oh, why?
00:12:02What's tomorrow?
00:12:03Oh, why?
00:12:04Oh, why?
00:12:05What's tomorrow?
00:12:06We're going to get your Christmas tree.
00:12:07We wanted you here to get the tree.
00:12:08Oh, yeah.
00:12:09And we have to swing by the hotel and finish some details with the wedding coordinator.
00:12:14You don't have to go.
00:12:15You think it's going to be boring, but you can always check out the town.
00:12:16It's a lot different than Christmas than what you're used to.
00:12:18Well, I have some very special Christmas bark that I'd like to share.
00:12:19May I interest you?
00:12:20Christmas bark, yes.
00:12:21We're going to need some extra energy because I'm walking at home.
00:12:22Oh, like you need an excuse.
00:12:23Yes, cheers.
00:12:25Cheers.
00:12:26I'm doing Christmas bark, yes.
00:12:28We'll have some extra energy because I'm walking at home.
00:12:32Oh, like you need an excuse.
00:12:33Cheers.
00:12:34Oh, my.
00:12:35Oh!
00:12:37Oh, my.
00:12:40Oh!
00:12:41Oh, my God.
00:12:42Uh, oh, my God.
00:12:43Oh, my God.
00:12:44Oh, my God.

00:12:47Then you're going to have to go warm-up after understands how the miracle has to bartending
00:12:50state services in the audience in the world.

00:13:55You know, I just want to thank you
00:14:03For all your support with this
00:14:07It means a lot to me
00:14:09Oh, Dad
00:14:10I just want you to be happy, you know that
00:14:13I never live like Helen
00:14:16I'm excited for your needs
00:14:19And then we're better
00:14:20I know it's only been
00:14:23Ten months, but
00:14:24Once we move in together
00:14:26Is that what
00:14:28You and Mike were talking about earlier
00:14:30About what to do with the house?
00:14:32Well, they just
00:14:33Kind of need to know
00:14:34If
00:14:35I'm going to continue to rent
00:14:37After I'm living with Helen
00:14:39So
00:14:42Do you want to sell it?
00:14:48Well, I think it's something
00:14:49We both need to decide, right?
00:14:52I don't think so
00:14:52I mean, I haven't been here
00:14:53In so many years
00:14:54We don't have to talk about this right now
00:14:57We have
00:14:59Lots of time
00:15:00Okay
00:15:02Thanks
00:15:03Okay
00:15:04Yeah
00:15:05One more tea?
00:15:08You know what?
00:15:09I think I am
00:15:10I'm beat
00:15:10I think I'm going to go to bed
00:15:12Okay, hi
00:15:13Okay
00:15:14I love you
00:15:17I love you too, babe
00:15:35Jasper, hi
00:15:47I was actually going to call you
00:15:49To see if there are any
00:15:50Updates
00:15:50Well, there are
00:15:51Good
00:15:52Great
00:15:53As I suspected
00:15:55Our chief editor loves your photos
00:15:57But she also loves
00:15:58Three other submissions
00:15:59There are three other people
00:16:01In the running still?
00:16:02Unfortunately, there was no
00:16:03Clear-cut decision on
00:16:04Who should get it
00:16:04So
00:16:05We're giving all four of you
00:16:06The chance to resubmit
00:16:07With the same title and concept
00:16:09But
00:16:09Uh, I'm not inboxing
00:16:11I'm on the key
00:16:12It's okay
00:16:13It's the feeling of Christmas for after
00:16:15And everyone loves Cape Cod
00:16:17So
00:16:17You have until midnight
00:16:19December 23rd
00:16:20To turn it in
00:16:21Not too good of a rush, but
00:16:22Is it still through the staff position, too?
00:16:26It is
00:16:26And
00:16:26Editor's work
00:16:27She wants to give someone
00:16:28A gift on Christmas
00:16:30So
00:16:30That's when we'll reveal
00:16:31Which one of you we select
00:16:32Wow
00:16:34That's, um
00:16:35Wow
00:16:37Just remember
00:16:39Christmas
00:16:39Something we haven't seen
00:16:41Good luck
00:16:43Thank you
00:16:45All right
00:16:49Christmas
00:16:53Here
00:16:56I'm wondering if that tour guide offer is still available
00:17:21I know it's a bit of an odd request
00:17:33It's just, uh
00:17:34Boston I know
00:17:35But I have not been here since I was 17
00:17:37And they've only given me three days to do it
00:17:39And normally I take like a week to scout
00:17:41Save plans
00:17:41Thank you
00:17:42Thank you
00:17:42All right
00:17:43Okay, I'm sorry
00:17:47Uh
00:17:47It's, uh
00:17:49I thought it was done
00:17:51You know, and now
00:17:52You're starting over
00:17:52But it's a really good opportunity
00:17:54Yeah
00:17:55It's just at a really bad time
00:17:56And it's doable though, right?
00:17:59Guy
00:17:59Yeah
00:18:00Yeah
00:18:00That's it?
00:18:02Sure
00:18:02Okay
00:18:03So you were saying
00:18:06You want to go see the old lighthouse?
00:18:09I know it's restricted
00:18:09But I thought maybe you'd pick somebody that would get me in
00:18:13Yeah, I might
00:18:14Really?
00:18:15I mean, I don't know if it's right
00:18:16I just
00:18:16It was the first place I thought of
00:18:17So I figured I should at least check it out
00:18:19Yeah, I mean there's some pretty amazing views up there
00:18:21I mean amazing right about now
00:18:24All right, then
00:18:25In my opinion
00:18:25You're in the perfect place
00:18:26Is that the tour guide talk?
00:18:30Tour guide, please
00:18:31Yep
00:18:32So, uh
00:18:333.30?
00:18:35I'll take it
00:18:35Okay
00:18:36I love it
00:18:36Thanks, uh
00:18:37Um
00:18:38There you go
00:18:41Cheers
00:18:42You know
00:18:44Bye
00:18:48Bye
00:19:08You ready to go find the perfect tree?
00:19:33Yeah
00:19:33Oh, come on
00:19:44Okay
00:19:46How's that?
00:19:47Is that straighter?
00:19:50That doesn't sound good
00:19:51Uh
00:19:53Well, no
00:19:54I think it's just the nature of the tree actually, Dad
00:19:56I think it looks good
00:19:58That's what I got
00:19:59Move over just a little bit, honey
00:20:03Okay
00:20:05It's
00:20:06It's
00:20:06It's fine
00:20:07Helen, I can't believe you make your own ornaments
00:20:11Oh, these?
00:20:13Well, feel free to use them
00:20:14Or not
00:20:15I just had so many extra ones from my house
00:20:17That I picked out a few special ones from each year
00:20:20And brought them over here
00:20:21It sounds like so much work
00:20:24Huh
00:20:25No, I've been doing it since I was little
00:20:27It just brings me so much joy
00:20:29Plus, every single one of them is unique
00:20:32Each one
00:20:33Tells its very own special story
00:20:36Maybe we can make some
00:20:40Of course we can
00:20:42Start our own tradition
00:20:43Yeah
00:20:44Just
00:20:45Maybe later
00:20:46Because Mike's coming to get me
00:20:48Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
00:20:49Guys, I'm so sorry
00:20:51I have to do this work stuff
00:20:53Oh, honey
00:20:55No, that's okay
00:20:56I know that's not
00:20:56I want to spend your holiday
00:20:57But
00:20:58Well, just go have fun
00:21:01Truly
00:21:02Sorry, I gotta
00:21:06I gotta straighten this tree
00:21:08It's not
00:21:09It's not working for me
00:21:11You ready to be in the bar?
00:21:28You remember
00:21:29The picture of my mom
00:21:30Took of us up here?
00:21:33Oh, we were so proud of ourselves
00:21:35Yeah
00:21:35As we should be
00:21:36A lot of stairs in there
00:21:38And you beat me to the top
00:21:39I did? Really?
00:21:41Oh, yeah
00:21:41Yeah, I chased you the whole way
00:21:43Well
00:21:47She kept that picture
00:21:49On our mantle
00:21:49For
00:21:50A lot of years
00:21:51She did like me
00:21:53Yeah
00:21:55She did
00:21:58Oh, they don't keep the key
00:22:07Under the rock
00:22:08Not surprisingly
00:22:10They actually trust me
00:22:11With it
00:22:11After you
00:22:14Thank you
00:22:15So cozy here
00:22:24Yeah
00:22:25Yeah
00:22:25Yeah
00:22:26These stairs have gotten steamer, huh?
00:22:37Alright
00:22:38Okay
00:22:50Okay, so what do you think?
00:22:53It's a little different in winter
00:22:54But
00:22:54It's usually a great view up here
00:22:57Shame about the fog
00:22:59If we weren't so remote
00:23:01I'd bring the snowman out here
00:23:02What?
00:23:03What are you talking about?
00:23:06Magic
00:23:06The magic?
00:23:08You really don't know about the magic snowman
00:23:10I don't know
00:23:11Ah
00:23:12So every night
00:23:14For
00:23:15As long as I can remember
00:23:17Someone
00:23:18Moves to the giant snowman
00:23:21Somewhere in town
00:23:22For the week leading up to Christmas
00:23:24And
00:23:25Why would someone do that?
00:23:28So that some lucky kids
00:23:29Can find a magic snowman
00:23:30Ring the bell that he's holding
00:23:32Make a wish
00:23:33Is that somebody
00:23:35You?
00:23:38Last five years, yeah
00:23:39Pretty adorable
00:23:41So what do you think?
00:23:44Well
00:23:45I was hoping to get the Christmas lights
00:23:47Over on the hillside
00:23:48But
00:23:48I mean with this fog
00:23:50I don't think that can
00:23:51I just think we're too far out
00:23:55Yeah
00:23:56I guess it's a good thing you know me
00:23:59Now what are you talking about?
00:24:03Well I wouldn't be much of a tour guide
00:24:05If I only took you to one place, right?
00:24:07And
00:24:07We're too far out
00:24:09So
00:24:10So
00:24:12So maybe we just need to get a little closer to Christmas
00:24:16So
00:24:29So you help throw a Christmas party every year
00:24:31For the chamber of Christmas?
00:24:32Well
00:24:32I volunteer to help every year
00:24:34And securing a house
00:24:35For the Christmas party
00:24:36Was a part of it
00:24:37They work really hard for the town
00:24:39So it's nice
00:24:40Tonight
00:24:41They just
00:24:41Get to celebrate
00:24:42Well
00:24:44This seems like the perfect place for it
00:24:46I haven't seen nothing yet
00:24:48Now this
00:24:50Is Christmas on the King
00:24:52This is
00:24:55Amazing
00:24:56Yeah
00:24:57Well
00:24:57You said you kind of needed it
00:24:58So
00:24:59Hey Mark
00:25:04Hey
00:25:04How's it going when you show up?
00:25:06Usually one of the first
00:25:07Yes
00:25:08Sorry about that
00:25:09I was just helping
00:25:10Sam
00:25:10Josh
00:25:11You remember Sam, right?
00:25:13We never met
00:25:14But he talked about you a lot
00:25:15Did he?
00:25:17Yes he did
00:25:17Not a lot
00:25:20This is my wife, Hannah
00:25:24Hiya
00:25:25Hey, Hannah
00:25:26I'm Sam
00:25:27Oh, hi Sam
00:25:28You too
00:25:29Okay
00:25:29I promise that
00:25:33I'm on the biscuits for my lovely wife
00:25:34So
00:25:34That's British for cookies
00:25:37You've got cookies
00:25:38See
00:25:39You're already ready for your food to London
00:25:41I just want to let you know
00:25:42My boss's assistant
00:25:44They gave me a call
00:25:44I said at that interview
00:25:45So
00:25:45Keep your phone close
00:25:47Thanks, buddy
00:25:48I appreciate it
00:25:48Very good
00:25:49Thanks very good
00:25:50You're moving to London
00:25:54Yeah, well, I mean
00:25:57It wouldn't be until the new year
00:25:58If I even get the job
00:25:59But he works for a pretty big commercial leasing company
00:26:02And they handle a lot of the high-rises in central London
00:26:05Sounds exciting
00:26:07I just
00:26:10I don't know
00:26:12I can't picture you anywhere else but here
00:26:14I guess I was just looking for something new
00:26:18Yeah
00:26:19First start
00:26:20And busy's good
00:26:21Yes
00:26:23But hey, why don't you check out the party
00:26:26And I'm going to gather up the gifts for the toy drive
00:26:28Toy?
00:26:29What do you have a toy drive?
00:26:30Well, wrapping
00:26:31Gifts that have already been collected
00:26:33It's sort of a tradition
00:26:34It'll get real into it
00:26:37Nice
00:26:38But you, you gotta work
00:26:39So go
00:26:39Go focus
00:26:40I mean, I'm pretty good at wrapping, so
00:26:42Alright
00:26:43Well, if you finish early, you can jump in
00:26:45How bad
00:26:45Deal
00:26:47See ya
00:27:10Everybody, gather around and front the wrap
00:27:14Everybody, gather around in front of rapid times.
00:27:44Okay, now, I know this isn't a competition, but whoever wraps the most gifts, all six sides
00:27:55covered, we know the rules, may or may not go home with all of the leftover cookies.
00:28:03Are all these gifts for the kids?
00:28:05Yeah.
00:28:06It's a good thing I came when I did.
00:28:08You're doing any work already?
00:28:09Nope, but I'm ready to wrap.
00:28:13All right.
00:28:14Oh, well, the angels, they say, what's a certain portion of the fields where they lay?
00:28:29Oh, the fields where they lay, they keep in their sheets.
00:28:36I have to admit, I did not know the true rally of double-sided tape until tonight.
00:28:56Yeah, you, uh, you wrapped about a hundred presents in, what, ten minutes?
00:29:01For a good cause.
00:29:02And you know what?
00:29:03If this whole photography career doesn't pan out, that's not gonna happen.
00:29:09You know what's funny?
00:29:12I grew up watching my mom take all of these amazing photos.
00:29:18It was so inspiring.
00:29:20And then I always pictured that I was gonna be a freelance photographer when I grew up.
00:29:24Well, I mean, it looks like you nailed that.
00:29:29Yeah, you know what, I just...
00:29:31I don't know if I'll cut out for it.
00:29:35I feel like I should do something more practical.
00:29:37And that's what this staff position would be?
00:29:40It's a good opportunity.
00:29:42Why did I really need to wow them?
00:29:47Okay.
00:29:47Like, I need to get the first rays of dawn against the last of the Christmas lights.
00:29:57You know what, I just, I need to capture that hope.
00:30:00It only comes around once a year, that's, that's what I need.
00:30:05Why don't we stay here and see if you can capture it?
00:30:10I mean, we're here, right?
00:30:13If this is the view...
00:30:16I'm not gonna ask you to sit up with me all night.
00:30:19Why not?
00:30:20Look, I'm the guy who's gonna lock up anyways.
00:30:22Mike, why are you doing this?
00:30:23It's Christmas, isn't it?
00:30:25I like to help you.
00:30:27I don't buy it.
00:30:28Why are you doing this?
00:30:29Okay, fine.
00:30:32I know you don't want to talk about it.
00:30:34But I wasn't there for you when I should have been.
00:30:37You didn't know what was going on with my mom?
00:30:39It was...
00:30:40You know, it all happened so fast.
00:30:43Still, I know this is just a small thing, but I'd really like to try and be here for
00:30:49you now.
00:30:52Let's get you that shot.
00:30:53Yes, yeah, of course.
00:31:09And, uh, roger that.
00:31:12Is everything okay?
00:31:13As long as we're out of here before the cleaning room arrive, we're good to go.
00:31:16You're amazing.
00:31:17Ha ha.
00:31:18Just you wait.
00:31:19What is that?
00:31:23That is enough ammo to keep a horse awake.
00:31:26Yeah.
00:31:28Yeah.
00:31:30I guess we'll need it if we're gonna stay up till sunrise.
00:31:34Yeah.
00:31:35Um, about that.
00:31:37Light isn't gonna change for a while, so...
00:31:41You wanna go see us now, man?
00:31:42So, uh, you really wanna help me move this guy?
00:31:53Uh, see as heavy as he looks.
00:31:56No.
00:31:57I don't know.
00:31:57Then, yes.
00:31:59Gotta keep that magic alive, right?
00:32:02Heh heh heh.
00:32:03Yep.
00:32:04All right, so pick a side.
00:32:05Either side.
00:32:06Sure.
00:32:06Uh, just, yeah, I'm reaching.
00:32:09Oh.
00:32:09Yeah.
00:32:10Long tail.
00:32:11Oh, oh.
00:32:13Okay, right.
00:32:13Yeah, he is, like, awkward.
00:32:16What, light?
00:32:17Yeah, you think I move him every night by myself.
00:32:19Just, uh, just a few of the strength.
00:32:22I should've gone with that.
00:32:25Okay.
00:32:26Yep.
00:32:26Woo-hoo.
00:32:27All right.
00:32:29Now let's just, uh, find a good spot.
00:32:32Fine.
00:32:33I can't make it too easy on the kids, right?
00:32:36Oh.
00:32:36I don't know.
00:32:44Snowman in front of an ice cream shop?
00:32:46Too cold.
00:32:48Yeah.
00:32:49Get him out of here.
00:32:54Oh.
00:32:54Which way?
00:32:55Yeah.
00:32:56Oh.
00:32:56Oh.
00:33:00I mean, it's cute, but...
00:33:02You look too obvious?
00:33:04Yeah.
00:33:05Well, get in there, though.
00:33:10Eh.
00:33:13I see how it is.
00:33:19Love at first snow.
00:33:20Finally, I think he's actually good for tonight.
00:33:27Hmm.
00:33:28I just can't believe you have a case at this place.
00:33:31Yeah, well...
00:33:31I kind of help sponsor the kids' team.
00:33:37How will you ever leave this?
00:33:39You're practically the mayor of this town.
00:33:41I don't know about all that.
00:33:43Yeah, it'll be hard, but it can feel a little too small sometimes, too.
00:33:48You know.
00:33:49I've got a lot of memories.
00:33:53It's cold.
00:33:54Come on, let's go.
00:33:55Sure.
00:33:55I don't know.
00:33:57I don't know.
00:33:59Did your ex-wife see you?
00:34:01No.
00:34:02No, she moved back to Ohio after the divorce.
00:34:05It's all good.
00:34:06Grand scheme of things.
00:34:08Wow.
00:34:09You always do that, don't you?
00:34:11What?
00:34:12Make life in things.
00:34:14I guess I'm just an upbeat kind of guy.
00:34:17Yeah, you are.
00:34:19But...
00:34:19No, no, no.
00:34:20Look, it's fine.
00:34:21We were young.
00:34:23You know, we grew apart and wanted different things.
00:34:26I tried to adapt, make her happy, but...
00:34:30End of the day, it just didn't fix anything.
00:34:33Yeah, I just wish I'd seen it coming.
00:34:35Oh, you know what?
00:34:36You can't do that to yourself.
00:34:37It's easy to get wrapped up.
00:34:41When's the last time you were?
00:34:43Wrapped up in a relationship.
00:34:45When?
00:34:45I've never done that.
00:34:47Really?
00:34:47Mm-hmm.
00:34:49Oh, okay.
00:34:51Yeah, you're messing with me.
00:34:52Yeah.
00:34:52All right, so when?
00:34:54A few years back.
00:34:56I thought he was the one.
00:34:58We both did.
00:35:01Which is when he turned down a job in L.A.
00:35:05Eventually, the guilt just kind of started chipping away at their relationship until there was nothing left,
00:35:09and suddenly it wasn't in my life anymore.
00:35:13I'm sorry.
00:35:15And after him?
00:35:17Hasn't really felt worth it since...
00:35:19Any of your relationships?
00:35:22No, yeah, no, I'm just taking a chance in the first place.
00:35:26I know it's hard, but I think it's worth it every time.
00:35:38Yeah.
00:35:39That's because you're an upbeat kind of guy.
00:35:41Can I admit something?
00:35:52Sure.
00:35:54Okay.
00:35:54I wish that that one kiss we had had happened at the beginning of summer instead of at the end.
00:36:04Wow.
00:36:06Are you really going there?
00:36:07I'm serious.
00:36:10I guess we would have thought we had the next summer.
00:36:19Yeah, we did.
00:36:20But if any of that was different, then maybe we wouldn't be here.
00:36:30Maybe you wouldn't be eyeing that job in London, which is very exciting.
00:36:34So that's the upside.
00:36:35Look who's being upbeat now.
00:36:39Hmm?
00:36:41You ready to get back to work?
00:36:43Yeah.
00:36:45You know what?
00:36:46You're going to be just fine whenever you go.
00:36:51This town, however,
00:36:53I don't think it's going to do so without you.
00:36:56I don't think it's going to do so without you.
00:37:26I don't think it's going to be too.
00:37:26What?
00:37:57Let's go.
00:38:27Let's go.
00:38:58Did you get your shot?
00:39:02I think so.
00:39:04Awesome.
00:39:12Okay.
00:39:12You look so awake.
00:39:15I'm exhausted.
00:39:16Oh, it's adrenaline.
00:39:18You know, luckily I've got two more days to wrap it out, so.
00:39:22You're feeling good?
00:39:23Yeah, I just gotta keep pushing through.
00:39:25I just gotta keep shooting anything and everything.
00:39:26But I really do feel like I can breathe, so thank you.
00:39:29Okay.
00:39:31Well, if you do feel like taking a break, clearing your head, I'm probably gonna hit the rank later on.
00:39:37I know.
00:39:38You're a good ice skate?
00:39:40Gotta throw the blades on at least once a year.
00:39:42I know it was work, but I had a lot of fun.
00:39:47Yeah, me too.
00:39:51London calling.
00:39:52Ah, all right.
00:39:53Did you have to get that?
00:39:54I mean, they're probably just setting up an appointment.
00:39:57Then you have to get that.
00:39:58All right, how do you do?
00:39:59I gotta get a break.
00:40:00You're right.
00:40:00Okay.
00:40:01Okay.
00:40:07Hello?
00:40:08Yes, Mike Phillips here.
00:40:11Yes, Josh, I think you'd be calling.
00:40:22You know, it's actually really amazing here.
00:40:25It's super festive, and there's so much more snow than I anticipated.
00:40:29Then we're basically having the same Christmas.
00:40:33Okay, so did you see the other submissions?
00:40:37Yeah, but that was the first round.
00:40:39I have no idea what they're doing now.
00:40:42Right, right, but they're mostly lights on buildings, sculptures, cityscapes, that kind of thing.
00:40:48And high concept, very artsy.
00:40:50Well, maybe they're all too similar.
00:40:53That's why they're having a hard time picking.
00:40:54You still have a little time, so just keep going.
00:40:57If it's Christmas they want, then I got Christmas.
00:41:02Talk soon.
00:41:03Bye.
00:41:04Hey.
00:41:06You ready to go get us and die cards?
00:41:09Huh?
00:41:10Yeah.
00:41:11Yeah.
00:41:12Let's do it.
00:41:14Let's do it.
00:41:17Pine cards.
00:41:18Pine cards.
00:41:18So, these are for ornaments?
00:41:21Well, that exists.
00:41:23They go along with the chocolate bell.
00:41:25Oh, well, good thing there are a lot of them out here.
00:41:29Remember how many hours you used to spend out here playing by the creek?
00:41:33Yeah, and in it.
00:41:39Is it weird that I find it surprising how beautiful it is here in the winter?
00:41:43Of course not.
00:41:44You haven't had a chance to experience it before.
00:41:46But it's special all year around.
00:41:48Now that I'm retired, I get a chance to enjoy it all the time.
00:41:52Why did we never come here for Christmas?
00:41:57You did.
00:41:58What?
00:41:58You did, yeah.
00:41:58When you were five.
00:41:59You don't remember?
00:42:00No.
00:42:02Yeah.
00:42:02We were only here a few hours before the furnace went out.
00:42:07What?
00:42:07Yeah.
00:42:08We didn't have a rental company back then, so no one was available to fix it.
00:42:13So we just camped out by the fireplace.
00:42:15We camped?
00:42:17Yeah.
00:42:17Three nights, right beside the tree.
00:42:19It was really sweet.
00:42:20Although, uh, we decided to come only in the summer after that.
00:42:28No, it really is a magical place.
00:42:31Probably a bit more magical with a working furnace, though, right?
00:42:37I'm so glad you're there.
00:42:39Yeah.
00:42:41I wasn't sure how hard it was going to be to come back, but, uh, me too.
00:42:47And I know that was supposed to talk about what to do with the house, so...
00:42:50We can do that later.
00:42:52What are you saying?
00:42:53Like, you haven't slept, you still need to hand in your assignment.
00:42:57So, first things first.
00:42:58Okay?
00:42:59Okay.
00:43:02Do we have nothing?
00:43:05We got plenty.
00:43:06Okay, good.
00:43:06Three-five silver-dusted pine cones, done.
00:43:15How's that reindeer coming?
00:43:17It's a snowman.
00:43:19What is it?
00:43:20I knew that.
00:43:23And I think I'm done.
00:43:27Well, then you need to hang it on the tree.
00:43:28Okay.
00:43:28Perfect.
00:43:44Our very first tradition.
00:43:47Good work.
00:43:48You did a great job.
00:43:56So, you want me to put each one of these in one of those boxes?
00:44:01Yes, sir.
00:44:01But you know, I've got two full days to take your box.
00:44:04You're going to put it to them.
00:44:06That's why I'm so excited to fill these little boxes.
00:44:09Hey, we have to go to the hotel to do a couple of last-minute things.
00:44:13So, if you want to come along...
00:44:43Hey, Mike.
00:45:09I might need a break.
00:45:13I have to admit I didn't see them at first, so well done.
00:45:23I have to admit that I had help.
00:45:24Oh, I don't think I was with much help, but it was fun.
00:45:27Well, you'll have fun out there, too.
00:45:29Are you guys leaving?
00:45:30Yeah.
00:45:31Right now, we got hot hot history.
00:45:35Bye.
00:45:37Nice.
00:45:38Nice colors.
00:45:39Let's do this.
00:45:43I have not done this any yet.
00:45:48Can't tell, because you're warm at all.
00:45:51Perfect.
00:45:51All right.
00:45:52Just a few minutes.
00:45:53It's practice.
00:45:56All right.
00:45:58Uh-oh.
00:46:00Hey, um, tell me this.
00:46:02What would you do?
00:46:04Well, that's a very broad question.
00:46:07Oh, yeah, about my dad and Russell.
00:46:10You're the property guy.
00:46:11Would you sell, rent?
00:46:14Um...
00:46:14That's a very personal question.
00:46:18Yeah, I just don't know.
00:46:20You know, I mean, had you asked me a week ago, I would have said sell.
00:46:24But now?
00:46:24Not sure.
00:46:30Well, you'll probably wait until you do now.
00:46:33Once it's gone, you're never going to get it back.
00:46:36So what are you saying?
00:46:37Back to the scape?
00:46:38What?
00:46:38No.
00:46:39No, no, no.
00:46:40That's a terrible idea.
00:46:41Put fun down.
00:46:42I don't want to...
00:46:43A little bent.
00:46:44I don't want to...
00:46:44I don't want to...
00:46:45I don't want to...
00:46:46I don't want to...
00:46:47I take that as a compliment.
00:46:48Mike, I can't...
00:46:55I'm so sorry.
00:46:57No, no, no, I have a...
00:46:58Our timing's off.
00:47:00I'm...
00:47:00It's just...
00:47:01I know.
00:47:02I was just...
00:47:03Look, I'm...
00:47:04Yeah, I'm sorry.
00:47:05But just so you know...
00:47:08I do wish that that kiss had happened earlier, too.
00:47:13Yeah?
00:47:14Yeah.
00:47:18Okay.
00:47:20Power lap.
00:47:22I'm going to race you.
00:47:23Uh-huh.
00:47:24I'm going to...
00:47:25I'm going to win.
00:47:26Okay.
00:47:27We're going to lose.
00:47:32Woof, well...
00:47:34Probably going to be sore tomorrow, but...
00:47:37Worth it.
00:47:38Yeah?
00:47:38Glad you took a break.
00:47:45Spent so much time with my mom in there.
00:47:48It's actually where I realized I wanted to do this.
00:47:53You have to talk for her.
00:47:59I'm so sorry she found out.
00:48:05She was sick.
00:48:11It just makes it really hard to go back in.
00:48:15I'm sure it does.
00:48:16If you avoid her altogether, you're avoiding all the good memories, too.
00:48:27Yeah, let's just see if I can get this photography thing going.
00:48:33And let's finish strong.
00:48:35This event is...
00:48:37It's different.
00:48:37Okay, but there's going to be people.
00:48:40A lot of faces.
00:48:41Oh, no.
00:48:41I usually do landscapes and landscapes.
00:48:43I know.
00:48:44I know, but...
00:48:45This is Christmas, right?
00:48:46Christmas is all about people.
00:48:49True.
00:48:50Yeah.
00:48:50Maybe here in the morning.
00:48:53What are you going to tell me?
00:48:55Uh-huh.
00:48:58See you in a.m.
00:48:59Okay, so it's a Christmas fair.
00:49:04Nope.
00:49:06Are you serious?
00:49:06You're not going to tell me what they're here.
00:49:09You're just going to have to wait for it.
00:49:12Not cocoa?
00:49:14No.
00:49:14Are you serious right now?
00:49:15I don't know.
00:49:17I didn't say you'd have to wait for it.
00:49:18Come on.
00:49:19Come on.
00:49:20Come on, man.
00:49:28What?
00:49:33Oh, my gosh.
00:49:38This is amazing.
00:49:40Worth it?
00:49:41Definitely.
00:49:48Oh, my gosh.
00:49:50I really don't know how you're going to do that.
00:50:12I know.
00:50:20Okay, I'm saying, yep.
00:50:50I'm saying, yep.
00:51:20Not quite done?
00:51:30No, I'm almost done.
00:51:33I just...
00:51:34This is so different from what I normally do,
00:51:37and I feel like he really liked my initial direction, so I just...
00:51:42But he had you redo it, right?
00:51:46That's a good point, yeah.
00:51:47I don't know, I just feel like this is so different than where I started.
00:51:53The light of Christmas, that's the title, right?
00:51:56So, it's different for everyone.
00:52:00It's personal.
00:52:01That's what makes it special.
00:52:04So as long as your thing is coming through,
00:52:07I don't think you can go wrong.
00:52:17I've never seen anything like this drink.
00:52:38Well, I warned you that it might be a little bit over the top.
00:52:41No, it's beautiful.
00:52:43In fact, your whole house is beautiful.
00:52:46It's a little bit different than your dad's place, but...
00:52:50We're happy here.
00:52:51Yeah, I think it's perfect.
00:52:53Thanks for coming over, Sam.
00:52:55Here, let's sit down.
00:52:57I'm going to talk to you about something important.
00:53:04Sure.
00:53:07I know that I would have loved your mother.
00:53:10I mean, she sounds like such an amazing woman.
00:53:14And I'll never try to take her place or what you guys had.
00:53:17And I want you to know how lucky I feel to be marrying into this family.
00:53:25So, I'm just hoping that maybe you'll be my maid of honor.
00:53:33Me?
00:53:34There's nothing extra you have to do, I promise.
00:53:36And I've already said a couple of dresses aside, just in case.
00:53:40But it's so important for me to have you be a part of this.
00:53:44I'd love to.
00:53:51Really?
00:53:51Yeah.
00:53:57Oh, I'm so happy.
00:54:01Oh, wow.
00:54:04Are you still up for helping me finish those wedding favors?
00:54:07I am, I am.
00:54:07Yes.
00:54:08Let's go.
00:54:08Okay.
00:54:11That sounds like an incredible opportunity.
00:54:13At a pace that I'd definitely be up for.
00:54:16Great.
00:54:17I look forward to hearing from you.
00:54:20How'd it go?
00:54:22Good?
00:54:23Good.
00:54:24I mean, he's going to get back to me later on today, but, uh...
00:54:27Anyway, I'm pretty well.
00:54:30Are you sure?
00:54:31You don't look like I did.
00:54:33I don't know.
00:54:34There's a lot to process.
00:54:36Well, you'll always be decisive.
00:54:38So I think you just gotta figure out what is holding you back and...
00:54:44I'll learn.
00:54:44I've never done molds before, but I have been baking gingerbread waffles every Christmas morning since I was about nine.
00:54:57So...
00:54:58Are you interested?
00:55:00I will definitely be there.
00:55:02So I heard you got some good pictures of Santa today.
00:55:05Oh.
00:55:05Yeah.
00:55:06You know, the whole thing was just amazing.
00:55:09Well, it's always more special when you share it with somebody you care about.
00:55:12Yeah.
00:55:13Oh, wait.
00:55:14Do you mean Mike?
00:55:14No, no.
00:55:17No.
00:55:17We're...
00:55:18We're friends.
00:55:20All friends.
00:55:20We're all friends.
00:55:21So, but...
00:55:22Anyway, he's thinking about moving, so...
00:55:24Yeah, but he's here now.
00:55:27Yeah, but, you know...
00:55:29You know, I think it's just...
00:55:31Our timing was always off.
00:55:34When we were kids.
00:55:36And then again now.
00:55:39But something tells me that those feelings are still there.
00:55:41Smells amazing in here.
00:55:48Hey, there's my groom.
00:55:50So now I think it's time to celebrate.
00:55:52Oh, we're gonna be...
00:55:53Celebrating plenty tomorrow.
00:55:56Yeah, you and I, but this is our Sam.
00:55:58For me, why?
00:55:59Well, you turned into your assignment, didn't you?
00:56:01Yeah.
00:56:02I'm not gonna hear if I get the job till Christmas Day, though.
00:56:04But you gave it everything you got.
00:56:06That's all that matters.
00:56:09So...
00:56:09Gourmet hot chocolate at the hotel, what do you say?
00:56:12Are the carolers there?
00:56:13Yeah, so you better hurry and get a squad.
00:56:17Carole is kind of a thing.
00:56:18Hey!
00:56:19I just want to try one of these for the road.
00:56:22Or...
00:56:22She said no.
00:56:23Who's there for the wedding?
00:56:25Okay, we'll get some later.
00:56:26All right?
00:56:27We'll get back.
00:56:28Let's go.
00:56:29I don't know how they're possibly gonna add any more decorations for tomorrow.
00:56:47I'm sure they can hit a few more points in us in here, right?
00:56:50Oh, definitely.
00:56:51Oh, definitely.
00:56:58Your timing seems pretty good to me right now.
00:57:01So, that is why it is important for us to be able to promote local artists.
00:57:16So, almost everyone that you see in here is either from here...
00:57:21Or it lives here.
00:57:24Um...
00:57:25Won't you excuse me for a moment, please?
00:57:27Hi.
00:57:34Hi.
00:57:35You must be Elizabeth's daughter.
00:57:37Samantha.
00:57:38Right?
00:57:40Forgive me.
00:57:41As I'm looking at you, it's like staring right at her.
00:57:45You think so?
00:57:48I never thought so.
00:57:51Let's see.
00:57:51I spent so much time in here.
00:58:01You remember?
00:58:02Yes, I did.
00:58:04It actually inspired me to follow in her footsteps.
00:58:09Well, your mom was very talented.
00:58:12I used to always want her to submit more of her work.
00:58:17But, she made it very clear.
00:58:20Life came first.
00:58:21You guys.
00:58:23Really?
00:58:27That's what made her work.
00:58:29This was beautiful.
00:58:31And that is also what I will remember most about her.
00:58:37Please, would you have a seat?
00:58:38I've been wanting to come in here for days, but...
00:58:54I know.
00:58:55It was hard.
00:58:56Listen, I know that it's been a long time.
00:59:00But I am so sorry for your loss.
00:59:07But I'm so glad that you share the same passion and the same love of art like your mom.
00:59:13And you can see her in everything you do.
00:59:18And that is a gift.
00:59:21Oh, listen.
00:59:21I'd love it if you would like to bring in your work sometime.
00:59:36I would be more than happy to take a look at it.
00:59:40I'm really glad you came in.
00:59:48I'm really glad you came in.
00:59:52Excuse me.
00:59:52Okay, so I know he's still putting the deal together.
01:00:14But congrats on the job.
01:00:16Is it great, right?
01:00:17Yes.
01:00:18Yeah, thank you.
01:00:19Um, man, I owe you.
01:00:22But, uh...
01:00:23What?
01:00:26It's just...
01:00:27Look, you know that I would love to work with you again.
01:00:31You don't want to move?
01:00:34I don't think so.
01:00:36No.
01:00:37I get it.
01:00:39You do?
01:00:40That's a lot to leave.
01:00:43Yeah.
01:00:44I mean, my family and this town and the rest of it.
01:00:51What?
01:00:52Hey.
01:00:54I've seen you fall for a few girls through the years.
01:00:57Sam's the only one you've fallen for twice.
01:01:00What?
01:01:02You talked about her.
01:01:04A lot.
01:01:07But when I left, I had a whole lot to do for.
01:01:11Hannah was there.
01:01:12Work.
01:01:13Family.
01:01:14Everything you love is here.
01:01:16Okay.
01:01:17Okay.
01:01:18Everything.
01:01:19Except me.
01:01:20I won't be here.
01:01:22So, yeah.
01:01:25I get it.
01:01:27Thanks, man.
01:01:27I'm so sorry to bother you.
01:01:32I'm so sorry to bother you.
01:01:36I'm so sorry to bother you, but the, um, it's leaking.
01:01:43The ceiling is leaking again.
01:01:46I mean, okay.
01:01:47Yep.
01:01:48I'll.
01:01:49You call the handyman.
01:01:50I'll get a bucket.
01:01:51Okay.
01:01:52Bye.
01:01:53Bye.
01:01:54Alright.
01:01:55Bye.
01:01:56I'm so sorry to bother you, but the, um, it's leaking.
01:01:59The ceiling is leaking again.
01:02:01I mean, okay.
01:02:02Yep.
01:02:02I'll.
01:02:04You call the handyman, I'll get a bucket.
01:02:06Okay, bye.
01:02:13That's you.
01:02:24Right.
01:03:54Not so many.
01:03:55It's very helpful.
01:04:02All right.
01:04:03Let's fix this thing.
01:04:03I found this in the attic from our first Christmas here.
01:04:13Then I found this I made for mommy here.
01:04:21Remember?
01:04:21I remember this.
01:04:24Wow.
01:04:25I just think there are so many memories here, and I don't want to let them go.
01:04:37Me either.
01:04:38Really?
01:04:40Yeah.
01:04:43Who else is going to come and play in the creek?
01:04:46Or come for Christmas?
01:04:48Huh?
01:04:48All right.
01:04:56This time, definitely fixed.
01:04:58Are you sure we shouldn't call a professional?
01:05:01Hey, I'm a professional.
01:05:03Back of all trades.
01:05:04I'm Betty Manny.
01:05:05Are you sure this wasn't just an excuse to get back here?
01:05:11I mean, I'm just saying.
01:05:14I think there was a second leak that I didn't see the first time.
01:05:19But it's definitely all patched up now.
01:05:22Good.
01:05:25Guess we're keeping the house.
01:05:29You are?
01:05:30All right.
01:05:31Thanks for coming by, Mike.
01:05:33Take care of yourself.
01:05:35See you tomorrow, sir.
01:05:36I'm so sorry.
01:05:37He's kind of embarrassing sometimes.
01:05:39It's fine.
01:05:40I really did try and fix it last time, though.
01:05:43I'm glad it happened.
01:05:44Because it gave me a chance to ask you in person.
01:05:47Ask me when?
01:05:48If you wanted to be my date for the wedding.
01:05:50Hey, I know.
01:05:52I know what you said about my leaving.
01:05:54And I get it.
01:05:56I've been thinking a lot.
01:05:57And I don't think this is the right time for me to move anyways.
01:06:02You're not going to let them know?
01:06:07Okay.
01:06:09Um.
01:06:11Does it have anything to do with this?
01:06:14With the, no.
01:06:15Us?
01:06:15No.
01:06:16No.
01:06:16Okay.
01:06:16No.
01:06:17Like you said, this place is hard to leave.
01:06:19And, I mean, who else is going to move the snowman next year?
01:06:23Right?
01:06:26So, what do you say?
01:06:28Uh.
01:06:29I don't know.
01:06:30I mean, I'm kind of in the wedding now, so.
01:06:33I don't know.
01:06:34I don't know.
01:06:37I don't know.
01:06:37I'll just make a start as a baby there.
01:06:46Awesome.
01:06:49Bye.
01:06:52Right this way.
01:06:55And you can stand up in there.
01:06:57We'll be right in.
01:06:58Are you ready for some pampering?
01:07:02I am, I am, but you really don't have to do this.
01:07:05It's your big day.
01:07:06I wanted to.
01:07:08Well, I wanted to give you something, too.
01:07:12You didn't have to give me anything.
01:07:16I know I'm not the most seasoned maid of honor, but...
01:07:20I'm pretty sure you need something old.
01:07:28It's beautiful.
01:07:35It is beautiful.
01:07:38I actually made it for my mom.
01:07:42When I was, like, 10.
01:07:49Are you sure?
01:07:50Yeah.
01:07:52Yeah, you know, we're really lucky to have found you, too.
01:07:58Let's do this.
01:08:10Let's also consider it something borrowed.
01:08:15Because I look forward to when I can give it back to you.
01:08:22Okay.
01:08:23Okay, so other than handing you the rings, just enjoy the moment.
01:08:31Take it all in, and keep your father relaxed.
01:08:35What?
01:08:36I'm relaxed?
01:08:37Well, your guests are here, so I'm just going to make sure everyone is seated.
01:08:41Sure.
01:08:45So?
01:08:46Fine, you're nice.
01:08:52I'm not kind of bad I would be, but...
01:08:55No, I'm good.
01:08:57How about you?
01:08:59Same.
01:09:01It makes me happy.
01:09:03Yeah.
01:09:04Me, too.
01:09:09It's time.
01:09:10Woo!
01:09:11Woo!
01:09:11You ready?
01:09:15Yeah.
01:09:15All right.
01:09:16Okay.
01:09:16Let's do it.
01:09:16Okay.
01:09:30¶¶
01:09:30Oh, my God.
01:10:00Oh, my God.
01:10:30All the lives will show history he had, each child still knows.
01:10:40I do.
01:10:41This night we pray.
01:10:45All the lives will show history he had, each child still knows.
01:10:54All the lives will show history he had, each child still knows.
01:11:06So, admittedly, this was my first Christmas wedding.
01:11:23I thought it was pretty perfect.
01:11:26I agree.
01:11:27But I'm biased, so.
01:11:30I guess, um, here's to the rest of the night game.
01:11:34Perfect.
01:11:35As well.
01:11:35Oh.
01:11:35Oh.
01:11:37Oh.
01:11:39You're a professional dancer, too.
01:11:42I'll do that.
01:11:43No.
01:11:43No.
01:11:43No.
01:11:53Oh, you know what?
01:11:54I have to go help set up some rental photos, so.
01:11:57What?
01:11:58They hired another photographer before.
01:12:01Cute.
01:12:02I think they've had enough of me working for a while.
01:12:05Good.
01:12:06Okay, well, I'll grab some appetizers.
01:12:08Each bag of the table.
01:12:14I'm gonna go.
01:12:16Okay.
01:12:17Like, right now.
01:12:19Okay.
01:12:19Okay.
01:12:22Okay.
01:12:25Hi.
01:12:27If there are any specific family families you want to get, let me know.
01:12:31Otherwise, she's just gonna do this.
01:12:33I think Candace's so great.
01:12:35Sam?
01:12:35Yeah.
01:12:36I love Candace.
01:12:37Okay.
01:12:37Oh, I just need to grab you for one more thing.
01:12:40Oh, I'm just kidding.
01:12:44Okay, you did an excellent job out there.
01:12:47Well, thanks.
01:12:48We're so happy you guys can win here.
01:12:49Ah, so are we, yeah.
01:12:51And I have to say, we're pretty glad he's not moving.
01:12:54Oh, I bet you are.
01:12:55Yeah.
01:12:56It's a pretty big opportunity, so, uh, he must really like you.
01:13:00Oh.
01:13:00Yeah, no, no.
01:13:01He's not staying for me.
01:13:02He's staying for the town and for you guys.
01:13:05Yeah, well, you know, he likes to keep everybody happy.
01:13:08That's true.
01:13:09But, um, hopefully we'll see a lot more of you.
01:13:12Yeah.
01:13:13You might pay for Christmas when you just want another day.
01:13:15There's gonna be sparkly shoes.
01:13:18Come on.
01:13:19Come on.
01:13:23Hey.
01:13:24Hey.
01:13:24Sorry it took so long.
01:13:39I had to ask you a rental question just because it took up sensitive.
01:13:43Well, I did manage to get the good ass before they were taken.
01:13:48Are you okay?
01:13:50I think you should go.
01:13:52You wanted to go.
01:13:55What?
01:13:56What about London?
01:13:58That was just an offer.
01:14:00It was an opportunity and it was a really, really good one.
01:14:04Are you trying to get rid of me already?
01:14:06Did they say something?
01:14:15I know that there are probably many different reasons that you would want to stay here.
01:14:27Your family, the town, us.
01:14:29But, before I came back, you wanted to go, right?
01:14:36You wanted to go and do something new for yourself?
01:14:40I did.
01:14:41And I think you should do that.
01:14:43Right?
01:14:43I think this is about what makes you happy.
01:14:52So what are you saying?
01:14:54I don't want you to have any regrets.
01:14:57You're just assuming that I would.
01:14:59Because I've been here before.
01:15:00You know, you don't think that you're gonna be giving anything up in the moment.
01:15:03But then over time, it just...
01:15:06I don't want that.
01:15:11For either of us.
01:15:13Why are you trying to sabotage this?
01:15:14I'm not.
01:15:15I just...
01:15:17I think our timing is off.
01:15:20Again.
01:15:22Look.
01:15:24I get it.
01:15:25Okay?
01:15:26We're both lost.
01:15:28But you can't hide behind that forever.
01:15:30You can't always take the safe way out, because you don't want to risk anything.
01:15:40Ladies and gentlemen, time to catch the cake.
01:15:47I gotta...
01:15:48Sam.
01:15:49Get back in there.
01:15:50Sam.
01:15:51I'm gonna...
01:16:00Now, some of these are a little silly, but I hope you like them.
01:16:05I'm gonna love them, but...
01:16:09I don't want to do this one.
01:16:11Let's do it.
01:16:13Merry Christmas.
01:16:16Guys, I told you you don't have to give me anything.
01:16:18No, but it's important.
01:16:27What is this?
01:16:28This is about the house.
01:16:36Mm-hmm.
01:16:40You signed the house over to me?
01:16:45I really want you to have a house.
01:16:48And I know my brother would want you to have a house, too.
01:16:53I don't even...
01:16:54I don't...
01:16:57I don't know what to say.
01:16:58Merry Christmas.
01:16:59Merry Christmas.
01:17:00So nice to have you here.
01:17:06You know, I think this might be the first time ever you haven't devoured your donut before we left the cafe.
01:17:12Hey, well, if you don't want it, I can always...
01:17:14Uh, never mind.
01:17:15I don't want it.
01:17:15Are you feeling okay?
01:17:19Yeah, no, I just didn't sleep much last night.
01:17:22Is this about Sam?
01:17:24Well, what about Sam?
01:17:26Oh, did I mess things up by mentioning that?
01:17:29Dad, you were just staying back.
01:17:32Yeah?
01:17:33It was a good opportunity, but...
01:17:34It's all good.
01:17:36No, it's not all good.
01:17:44Not even a little.
01:17:45No.
01:17:46No.
01:17:51She's amazing.
01:17:53I can't believe you worked with Mike on this.
01:17:58He said you guys were talking about rental stuff.
01:18:00Yeah, he knew a guy that could help us out last minute to get it done.
01:18:02Of course he does.
01:18:05He's a good guy.
01:18:10Is that...
01:18:12Is that...
01:18:14It's from Vanessa.
01:18:15Uh-huh.
01:18:16What does it say?
01:18:17Have you checked your email?
01:18:19Let's check.
01:18:22I don't have that.
01:18:23I'm trying, I'm trying.
01:18:24It's really a large file.
01:18:28Okay, uh, thank you for capturing the guiding light of Christmas.
01:18:32You got it.
01:18:36You got it?
01:18:37I got it.
01:18:38You got it.
01:18:39I got it.
01:18:39You got it.
01:18:41You got it.
01:18:43Does that mean you get the job, too?
01:18:44Yeah, I mean, I guess so.
01:18:46Yeah.
01:18:48If I want it, yeah.
01:18:56I had a really good tour guide, didn't I?
01:18:58Okay.
01:18:58I had a really good tour guide, didn't I?
01:19:02I had a really good tour guide.
01:19:03You had an excellent guide.
01:19:08Sweetie.
01:19:11You deserve it.
01:19:12As well as success.
01:19:17I gotta go.
01:19:20I gotta go.
01:19:21I'm sorry.
01:19:37What?
01:19:38I had to give you this.
01:19:45Heavy tour needs a souvenir, right?
01:19:48This is mine.
01:19:49I'm so sorry about yesterday.
01:19:57No.
01:20:01I'm scared.
01:20:06I don't want to miss out on our chains again.
01:20:09This is what I want.
01:20:11All of it.
01:20:13Can you help me see that?
01:20:14Well, then, that would be pretty awful to walk away from.
01:20:19Get to...
01:20:21Could you?
01:20:37Get this job?
01:20:39Yes.
01:20:40Of course you did.
01:20:42Why didn't you tell we heard the congrats?
01:20:44Thanks.
01:20:44Okay, does that mean that you need to...
01:20:49Get back?
01:20:51Yeah.
01:20:53No.
01:20:55Sue, you're going to keep freelancing.
01:20:59Mm-hmm.
01:21:02If I'm staying, and you're just going to roll with it, then...
01:21:07Looks like our time base.
01:21:10It's about time.
01:21:14Ready for the final stop at our door?
01:21:26Yeah.
01:21:32Okay, so it's a choir?
01:21:35Not exactly.
01:21:37Are you really not going to join me again?
01:21:39I promise you, it is worth doing.
01:22:14So are you for something like that to make a wish?
01:22:16Absolutely.
01:22:30Merry Christmas.
01:22:44On the night before Christmas, enjoy the Hallmark Yule Log.
01:22:50It's our fireside tradition.
01:22:52Featuring Happy the Cat and Happy the Dead.
