00:02 Help!
00:03 Help me!
00:04 Are you hurt?
00:06 Yes, it's my ankle.
00:07 I twisted it.
00:10 Oh, wow.
00:11 Would you-- would you look at that?
00:13 What?
00:15 That's Christmas Lodge.
00:16 You know this old wreck?
00:17 This is my grandpa and my grandma.
00:19 They used to bring the whole family up here for Christmas.
00:22 Wait a second.
00:23 Is your dad Jack Rand?
00:24 Well, yeah.
00:26 I haven't seen him since I was half your age.
00:29 Well, welcome back to Christmas Lodge.
00:31 It's probably not exactly how you remember it, is it?
00:33 No, and I always wondered what happened to Christmas Lodge.
00:36 Well, I'm glad you found us again.
00:40 We were hiking in Cantonite.
00:41 We just stumbled onto the lodge.
00:42 What I wouldn't give for another Christmas up there.
00:46 I told my boss about the lodge.
00:50 And he is going to ask the board for a grant to reopen.
00:54 Christmas Lodge is my life.
00:55 I'd do anything to save it.
00:58 Grandpa, he taught me to fight.
01:00 And I'm not giving up on him.
01:01 Christmas Lodge is a part of your heritage.
01:06 No, that is a part of our heritage.
01:08 Anyone who stays at the lodge is family for life.
01:11 Grandpa, I knew you could make it.
01:17 Thank you for reminding me how joyous life can be.
01:21 Grandpa, we said that the Lord was looking
01:23 up for Christmas Lodge.
