00:00:00Gabriela, I just wanted to let you know that your approval has gone through.
00:00:06Hi Gabriela, just checking in. Any updates? It's been a few months since I've heard from you.
00:00:14I'm so sorry, they went with a couple in Delaware. I know it's disappointing.
00:00:21Just checking back in, um, I know I need to be patient.
00:00:24She went with a couple in Baltimore. Hi Gabriela, it's been over nine months.
00:00:35I'm so sorry.
00:00:43Ready when you are.
00:00:48So here is the settlement check for your romancal termination
00:00:52and your fully executed settlement agreement.
00:00:55Congratulations, Miss Sodi. Thank you so much, Marianne.
00:00:58You have no idea what this means for us, especially in your Christmas.
00:01:02Please, it was my pleasure.
00:01:06Here, I'll show you that. There you go.
00:01:11Oh, um, it doesn't look like you took out your fees. What do I owe you?
00:01:15No, no, it's pro bono. I, I couldn't.
00:01:19You can and you should. I urge in something extra special for Christmas, right?
00:01:25Are you sure?
00:01:26I'm sure. Thank you.
00:01:28You two have a great Christmas.
00:01:34Nice spread.
00:01:35Thank you. This coffee's for you, by the way.
00:01:38Thanks.
00:01:39So, uh, did you catch the news today?
00:01:43Oh yeah, you mean the news that my ex-husband is engaged to someone half my age?
00:01:47Hadn't noticed.
00:01:48Good thing there's round balls.
00:01:49Honestly, I'm just, I'm so much more at peace with the whole thing now.
00:01:53Yeah, maybe she's 21. I'm sure she's very fertile, which is exactly what Grace wanted, but
00:01:59I always wanted a baby, you know that, right?
00:02:01But every month that didn't happen with Bruce was just a heartache.
00:02:05I don't need a husband to become a mom.
00:02:08I've gotten as far as I am on my own. Why not this too?
00:02:11Yes. So any news on the adoption front?
00:02:16No, it could happen any day. Could be in a year.
00:02:19Takes a little longer for single women.
00:02:21Well, your maternity leave is ready and waiting for you.
00:02:24And of course, feel free to work remotely for as long as you wish.
00:02:29I know how long you've wanted this.
00:02:31Thank you, Naomi.
00:02:32I'm here if you need a friend.
00:02:34Oh, speaking of friends, I wanted to invite you over to my place for Christmas.
00:02:39We're having carols, white elephant.
00:02:41You know, I already have a date with food delivery and a Christmas movie,
00:02:45but I do appreciate that you invite me every year, even though every year I say no.
00:02:50Marianne, why do you think it is you and I are the top female lawyers in the city?
00:02:55Because we never give up.
00:02:57I thought you were going to say because we're very powerful,
00:03:00independent women who don't rely on anyone to do our dirty work.
00:03:03Yeah, you would.
00:03:05See you, Manila.
00:03:06See ya.
00:03:20So.
00:03:38Gabriela speaking.
00:03:39Gabriela.
00:03:40Hi.
00:03:41Sorry.
00:03:43It's Marianne Brubeck.
00:03:45Yes, again.
00:03:46Yes, again.
00:03:47Um, I just thought I'd call, you know, because we're coming up on a year since my approval.
00:03:53And I just.
00:03:54Yes, as I said, this process is extensive.
00:03:57Of course, I am.
00:03:59I know it takes time.
00:04:01Yes, you just need to be patient.
00:04:03Absolutely.
00:04:04And I have faith that it'll happen when it's meant to.
00:04:09Hopefully it will.
00:04:11I just.
00:04:13I just wanted to let you know that I am so ready.
00:04:17Whenever that moment might be.
00:04:19I'll talk to you in the new year.
00:04:34God, please grant me patience.
00:04:41Peace and trust as I await your divine timing.
00:04:48Yes!
00:04:52Come on.
00:04:52Get up.
00:04:53Get out of the house.
00:04:54Oh, come on.
00:04:56Phil, let's go get something to eat.
00:04:57Come on.
00:05:00Sorry, I'm kind of in the middle of something here.
00:05:02Is this seriously where you see yourself in 20 years?
00:05:04On a couch, with your juice boxes, your video games, and your dog.
00:05:08I mean, if by some miracle Donkey lives that long, yeah, that would be great.
00:05:13But no, no, no, no, no.
00:05:14Of course not.
00:05:14You know, I want more.
00:05:16Like, what do you want?
00:05:19I'm on level four.
00:05:19I'd love to get to level five here if that's okay.
00:05:22I'm kidding.
00:05:23I'm kidding.
00:05:23I.
00:05:25I want more.
00:05:27I don't know.
00:05:28More.
00:05:29That's exactly it, though.
00:05:30You don't know.
00:05:32Who names their dog Donkey?
00:05:34Anyway, it's a pretty stupid name.
00:05:35Hey, come on.
00:05:35He's right here.
00:05:36I thought it was creative, right?
00:05:38Who's a creative Donkey mom?
00:05:40You know what?
00:05:40You're a really nice guy.
00:05:43Just where's your drive?
00:05:44Where's your passion?
00:05:46Where's your reason?
00:05:48When I saw you playing with your band up on stage, man, you were full of life.
00:05:53You were electric.
00:05:53It was like the whole world was yours.
00:05:56You made an impression on me.
00:05:57I hadn't even met you yet.
00:05:59Man, you were a rock star, but you're not that guy.
00:06:03Sorry if you thought you were getting that guy, but that was a lifetime ago.
00:06:07You know, I left the band five years ago, Brooke.
00:06:10Five years ago, Brooke.
00:06:12Yeah, and you still have an entire room dedicated to a single guitar.
00:06:16It's the only clean room in the house, I might add.
00:06:20I haven't heard you play once.
00:06:25Look, I'm not Rockstar Joe.
00:06:28That ship has sailed.
00:06:34You can't.
00:06:35Thanks for the note, Captain.
00:06:37You know what?
00:06:37I'm jumping ship.
00:06:41Did you guys hear that?
00:07:07Hey, it's me.
00:07:11Oh, okay.
00:07:14Hey.
00:07:15Ah, hi.
00:07:16Hi.
00:07:17Hi.
00:07:18Hi.
00:07:18Did you forget that you were watching your nephew tonight?
00:07:21Uh, no.
00:07:22Okay.
00:07:23Of course not.
00:07:24Sure.
00:07:24Of course not, buddy.
00:07:25How are you?
00:07:26Clearly.
00:07:27Is Brooke around?
00:07:29No, we broke up.
00:07:31Oh, I'm sorry.
00:07:32You okay?
00:07:33Yeah, do you know what?
00:07:33Actually, I'm fine.
00:07:34I'm feeling really good.
00:07:35Okay.
00:07:35What was that, two months?
00:07:37Six weeks, new record.
00:07:38She was never really my favorite anyway.
00:07:40I know, I could tell.
00:07:41Okay, sorry.
00:07:42You know what?
00:07:42I actually can't comprehend how you and Bob met at middle school church camp,
00:07:45and you still love spending time together.
00:07:46It's incredible.
00:07:46We do.
00:07:48I think sometimes God just puts your perfect person in front of you early.
00:07:51Braces and pimples and all that.
00:07:55Yeah.
00:07:55But it also takes a lot of work, and you avoid work like the plagues.
00:07:58Hey, that's not true.
00:07:59I love work.
00:07:59I just haven't met the right woman.
00:08:01You're right.
00:08:02You're right.
00:08:02I'm sorry.
00:08:04No, I saw you work really hard for your band.
00:08:05Maybe you just need some inspiration.
00:08:08Yeah, I just need some inspiration.
00:08:10Yeah, okay.
00:08:11Well, I love you.
00:08:13Okay, love you.
00:08:14Thank you again, and I will see you around nine, and I would prefer if you didn't eat pizza.
00:08:23Okay.
00:08:23Okay, good, okay.
00:08:26You know what prefer means, right?
00:08:28It means we can get pizza, which is awesome.
00:08:32Hi, Mom.
00:08:34Mom, I can't really talk right now.
00:08:36My sink is leaking.
00:08:37Um, oh, have you called a plumber?
00:08:40Oh, I just need a plumber, okay?
00:08:41I can handle it.
00:08:42Okay.
00:08:44Uh-huh, I bet.
00:08:46So, have you thought anymore about my offer to drive up for Christmas?
00:08:50You know, we've got just four days away.
00:08:52Uh, well, no, it's fine.
00:08:54I told you, I'm fine.
00:08:56I'm fine.
00:08:58I'm fine.
00:09:00No, it's fine.
00:09:02I told you, I'm fine.
00:09:04I just want to relax.
00:09:06Well, you know, we can keep things quiet.
00:09:08I can stay in the guest room.
00:09:10You'll hardly even know I'm there.
00:09:12Um, the guest room isn't, it's under construction, so it's not gonna work, but I love you, and
00:09:24I'll talk to you soon.
00:09:26I love you, too, sweetie.
00:09:29Okay, I think that's got it.
00:09:39Hey, buddy.
00:09:41How you doing?
00:09:43Hey, Dolly, how you doing?
00:09:45Oh, I know.
00:09:47Hey, guess what I found, man.
00:09:49You won't believe this.
00:09:51It's from our touring days, man.
00:09:53Look at this.
00:09:55Your hair, bro.
00:09:57Those were fun times, right?
00:09:59Saw the whole country because of you.
00:10:01Seattle, Chicago, Miami, San Francisco.
00:10:03That's the stop we were at when my dad called to break the news about his cancer.
00:10:05Yeah, man, that was a tough one.
00:10:07You know, we, we, we really loved your dad.
00:10:09You know that, right?
00:10:11Look, I'm kind of done reminiscing, if that's okay with you.
00:10:13Look, I, I, I'm sorry.
00:10:15I just, I brought this because I thought it would bring back that spark you had back then,
00:10:17you know?
00:10:19I'm sorry.
00:10:21I just, I brought this because I thought it would bring back that spark you had back then,
00:10:23you know?
00:10:26Yeah.
00:10:28Well, I appreciate it.
00:10:30I do.
00:10:32I just think that that spark has long since fizzled, you know?
00:10:34I don't know.
00:10:36I do sometimes wonder, though,
00:10:38what my dad would think about all this.
00:10:40Me living in his house,
00:10:42running his business.
00:10:44I think he'd be proud
00:10:46of the man you've become.
00:10:48That's me included.
00:10:50Now, I do think he'd miss you playing his guitar, though.
00:10:52And he loved it
00:10:54when you were playing up there.
00:10:56Woof!
00:10:58Dolly, come on.
00:11:00This dog has been acting strange all morning.
00:11:02Must be a storm coming.
00:11:04Come back, Dolly.
00:11:06Come on, get back here.
00:11:14Yes, hello.
00:11:16Uh, good afternoon.
00:11:18Hi.
00:11:20Marianne, I have some wonderful news.
00:11:23Are you serious?
00:11:27What's happening?
00:11:29I got the call.
00:11:31Guess who's getting a baby for Christmas?
00:11:33What? That's incredible!
00:11:35I know.
00:11:37So I'm just gonna jump in the car.
00:11:39It's like a four-hour drive to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania,
00:11:41where the hospital is.
00:11:43Okay, so, uh, what can I do?
00:11:45Need me to go to your place?
00:11:47Get anything set up?
00:11:49I can call your mom?
00:11:52Yeah, and then I will.
00:11:54I'm just worried of how she'll react, right?
00:11:56Okay. Well, drive safely,
00:11:58and I'm around if you need anything, okay?
00:12:00Keep me posted.
00:12:02I will.
00:12:04It's happening!
00:12:06We're having a baby, everyone!
00:12:08Okay.
00:12:12Hey.
00:12:14Yes.
00:12:18Hey.
00:12:38Come on, buddy.
00:12:40We've got a blizzard warning.
00:12:46There's a person in the state who says,
00:12:48there's a person in the state who says...
00:12:50Oh!
00:12:52Oh!
00:12:54Oh!
00:12:56Oh!
00:12:58Oh!
00:13:00Oh!
00:13:02Oh!
00:13:04Oh!
00:13:06Hi.
00:13:07Hi.
00:13:08Hi.
00:13:09Hi.
00:13:10Hi.
00:13:11Hi.
00:13:12Hi.
00:13:13Hi.
00:13:14Hello.
00:13:29Hi.
00:13:38Eh, it's pretty quiet.
00:13:40I think I'm gonna head home.
00:13:41Oh, as long as you, um, you take him.
00:13:44Deal.
00:13:45Radio weather alert, folks.
00:13:46We've got a blizzard blowing in.
00:13:48It's bad.
00:13:49Reports of stranded motorists everywhere.
00:13:50Stay inside and get cozy if you can.
00:13:52You're not going anywhere.
00:13:53Yeah.
00:13:54Because this is a closed adoption,
00:13:55your privacy and the privacy of the birth parents
00:13:58will remain intact.
00:14:00Now, she was born yesterday morning,
00:14:02and the couple that we had lined up for her
00:14:04pulled out last minute, right after you called.
00:14:08How could anyone go through this entire process
00:14:11and just bail last minute?
00:14:12It happens more often than you'd think.
00:14:15Adopting a child is a huge commitment,
00:14:16and sometimes the reality sets in,
00:14:18and people realize you just aren't ready.
00:14:21Yeah.
00:14:24Well, you're with your mama now.
00:14:26Hmm?
00:14:27Now, the nurses have been taking good care of her,
00:14:29making sure she's getting lots of love.
00:14:31They've been calling her Baby Natalie.
00:14:33Natalie?
00:14:35Means Christmas.
00:14:37I like it.
00:14:39Suits her.
00:14:40Yeah.
00:14:42Am I Natalie?
00:14:45Mm-mm.
00:14:51Come in there, Jo.
00:14:51We've got a six-car pileup on Highway 10.
00:14:54Get over there right away.
00:14:55Are you sure you don't want some help?
00:14:56It's really coming down out there.
00:14:57Yeah, thank you, I got it.
00:14:59Okay.
00:15:00Well, there's a couple of hotels in town,
00:15:02but I heard they're pretty booked up
00:15:03because of the holidays.
00:15:05I heard there's a small inn that might still have some rooms.
00:15:08No, no, no, we'll be fine.
00:15:09Honestly, I'd just rather get her home tonight, you know?
00:15:12Okay.
00:15:13Thank you so much, Gabriella.
00:15:15Oh, you're so welcome.
00:15:17Oh, okay.
00:15:19Okay.
00:15:20Okay.
00:15:21You're so welcome.
00:15:23Okay.
00:15:24Well, stay safe out there.
00:15:25We will.
00:15:26Bye, Natalie.
00:15:30It's just you and me, baby girl.
00:15:33All right, if you can avoid highway travel, please do so.
00:15:35This blizzard is messing around, folks.
00:15:37We've got reports of roads being closed in all directions.
00:15:40Nobody's going anywhere for a while.
00:15:42Stay safe.
00:15:43Good evening, this is Bethlehem Star Inn.
00:15:44Would you hold, please?
00:15:45Hi, for one night?
00:15:47Okay, we have a clean room ready for you,
00:15:50and there's coffee in the lobby starting at six,
00:15:52so just come on down.
00:15:54Bob, will you show this lovely couple
00:15:56to room 206, please?
00:15:57Yeah, I'm a little busy.
00:15:59Okay, okay.
00:16:00And I'm not?
00:16:00Yeah.
00:16:01Theo, don't jump on your dad.
00:16:02You know he has a bad back.
00:16:03Just one more moment, please.
00:16:04Bob, Bob, Bob.
00:16:06Yeah.
00:16:07206?
00:16:08You got it.
00:16:08Great, thank you, honey.
00:16:18You okay?
00:16:19Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:16:24I think mommy just wants to pull over, okay?
00:16:27All right, folks, this blizzard is not messing around.
00:16:30Time to get off the highway.
00:16:31Roads are closing.
00:16:32You're gonna want to get indoors and stay safe.
00:16:36All right, come on.
00:16:38Watch your step.
00:16:40Found another one in the snowbank.
00:16:41He's gonna need a room for the night.
00:16:43You are in luck.
00:16:45We have one room left.
00:16:46Oh, I'm glad he found me.
00:16:48That enemy service out there,
00:16:49I thought I was gonna freeze to death.
00:16:51Ah, we wouldn't let that happen.
00:16:53Are you heading back out?
00:16:54You know what, it's getting pretty hairy out there.
00:16:55I think I'm just gonna head home and check on Donkey.
00:16:58You have a donkey?
00:16:59By donkey, he means a dog.
00:17:00You named your dog Donkey?
00:17:02Pretty creative, right?
00:17:03Not really.
00:17:04Okay, well, I'm gonna let highway patrol
00:17:07know that I'm on call,
00:17:07so just I'll be there if they need me, okay?
00:17:10All right, Bob, you're looking sweaty.
00:17:11You okay?
00:17:12He's good.
00:17:13Hey, would you take Gerald here to room 102?
00:17:15Oh, there you go.
00:17:15Thanks.
00:17:16Hey, guys.
00:17:22Thank you, darling.
00:17:23Oh.
00:17:25Oops.
00:17:27Just watch your step there.
00:17:31Hi.
00:17:32Sorry, wondering if you have any rooms.
00:17:39Okay, thank you anyway.
00:17:40All right.
00:17:41No.
00:17:43No rooms there either.
00:17:44It looks like with the storm and the holidays,
00:17:45everything in Bethlehem is booked.
00:17:47Hey, you said she's just a day old?
00:17:50Yeah, we only had her a couple hours.
00:17:52I just adopted her.
00:17:54Just the two of us.
00:17:55Oh, I feel awful.
00:17:56Oh, I wish we had a room for you.
00:17:58Bob!
00:17:59Oh, wait, there's a couple of hotels in Allentown
00:18:01about 20 minutes away.
00:18:02Maybe, hey, Joe, maybe you could guide her
00:18:05in the truck to Allentown?
00:18:08Yeah, I mean, I did just hear on the radio
00:18:10that they've shut off the West Road,
00:18:12but I mean, if you're trying to get to Hanover,
00:18:14I can definitely get you through the worst of it.
00:18:15No, I was just driving in that direction.
00:18:17It's totally blocked off.
00:18:19No one's getting through tonight.
00:18:21Okay, well, we've got Bob's sister
00:18:22and her family in town for the holidays
00:18:24and Grandma Myrtle, so it's a full house,
00:18:26but we have a couch.
00:18:27I mean, I am not leaving you out in the cold.
00:18:29No, no, no, no, no.
00:18:30I would not impose on you like that.
00:18:31Bob, you're not imposing it.
00:18:33What am I thinking?
00:18:34Joe has a guest room.
00:18:35I mean, his house is kind of a barn,
00:18:37but he'll have privacy, so.
00:18:40Yeah, I mean, I wasn't really prepared for that, but.
00:18:42He'd love to have you.
00:18:43Yeah, it'd be great.
00:18:44Yeah.
00:18:45Well, you know what?
00:18:46I guess that's our only option, isn't it?
00:18:48Yeah, yes, thank you.
00:18:50Thank you so much.
00:18:51No problem.
00:18:51Great, great.
00:18:52Well, hey, I'll bring a few things over on our way home.
00:18:54We got my baby shower last weekend,
00:18:56so the storage closet is just full of things
00:18:58and it's all collecting dust for the next couple of months.
00:19:00It's not necessary.
00:19:01I packed a suitcase.
00:19:02It's probably enough for one night, right?
00:19:04Oh, yeah.
00:19:04One night.
00:19:07Oh.
00:19:10Yeah, sorry, I didn't get a chance to clean up.
00:19:12I didn't know anybody was coming over.
00:19:14My nephew was here.
00:19:15He had a bit of a party.
00:19:16Oh.
00:19:17How old's your nephew?
00:19:19Seven.
00:19:22Right.
00:19:22Anyway, uh.
00:19:23You don't need to apologize.
00:19:25Thank you for letting us stay.
00:19:27Yeah, no, of course.
00:19:30You can come on in and make yourself comfortable.
00:19:33This is, oh, this is Donkey.
00:19:35He's a good boy.
00:19:37Well, creative name.
00:19:40Yeah, that's what I thought.
00:19:41Can I say hi?
00:19:42Yes.
00:19:44So listen, the bedrooms are upstairs.
00:19:48The kitchen's around the corner here.
00:19:49There's a bathroom over there.
00:19:50That's good.
00:19:52There's that room.
00:19:57This reserved for a guitar.
00:20:00Yeah.
00:20:02Do you play?
00:20:04Used to.
00:20:10It's okay.
00:20:11Okay.
00:20:13And of course, just help yourself
00:20:14to anything in the fridge.
00:20:16But make sure you check the date on it
00:20:18because I haven't had a chance to go through it.
00:20:19I've been meaning to go through and just clean it out.
00:20:21Yeah, no worries.
00:20:23You bet.
00:20:24It's like her pacifiers.
00:20:27Yeah, they didn't make it into the diaper bag.
00:20:29But I saw a drugstore down the street.
00:20:31So you know what?
00:20:32I'll just take her with me.
00:20:33We'll go get some stuff.
00:20:33No, no, no, no.
00:20:34I'm gonna drive you.
00:20:35In this weather?
00:20:36No, no, no.
00:20:37It's best to retake my truck right now anyway.
00:20:38It's fine.
00:20:39I can do it.
00:20:40I'm actually gonna need some fresh air.
00:20:41Oh, oh, hi.
00:20:44Just brought a couple of things in case you need anything.
00:20:47We've got newborn diapers, sleepers, baby carriers,
00:20:50bottles, bottles, warmer, wipes, pacifiers.
00:20:53You guys really didn't have to do all of this.
00:20:56Happy to help.
00:20:58But we have Theo in the car asleep
00:21:00and it's storming out.
00:21:01So we should go.
00:21:02But just call if you need anything.
00:21:03Okay.
00:21:04Bye.
00:21:05You guys are the best.
00:21:06Okay.
00:21:07Bye, Bob.
00:21:08Good night.
00:21:10Have a good one.
00:21:11Thank you very much.
00:21:12Thanks.
00:21:12Bye.
00:21:13Oh.
00:21:15Flurry of activity.
00:21:16That's my sister, always doing a million things.
00:21:19Oh, your siblings.
00:21:21Yeah.
00:21:22Actually, she's adopted too.
00:21:24We celebrate her gotcha day.
00:21:27I like that.
00:21:28It's gotcha.
00:21:30Gotcha, that's familiar.
00:21:33Okay, so you must be exhausted.
00:21:34So why don't I show you upstairs to your space?
00:21:38Okay.
00:21:39Wait, you take the baby.
00:21:40Yeah, I'll take the baby.
00:21:41And I will take your luggage
00:21:42and we'll head upstairs.
00:21:44Okay.
00:21:45This way.
00:21:46Good boy, donkey.
00:21:47Okay.
00:21:57Hey.
00:21:58Hey.
00:21:59Are you heading out?
00:22:00Yeah, a couple of stuck motorists out there, so.
00:22:04Is there anything I can pick you up while I'm out?
00:22:06No, I was just gonna look for something I could use
00:22:08as like a nightlight.
00:22:09I expect she'll be up.
00:22:11Right, yeah, no, I should.
00:22:13I think I've got something for you.
00:22:16Yeah.
00:22:18It's not exactly a nightlight,
00:22:21but it gives off a really warm glow.
00:22:24It's perfect.
00:22:25Great.
00:22:27Oh, sorry.
00:22:28No, it's okay.
00:22:34So have a good night.
00:22:35Yeah, you too.
00:22:36Have a great night.
00:22:38Drive safe.
00:22:39I will, always do.
00:22:41And I hope you have a restful sleep.
00:22:46It's probably not gonna happen.
00:22:47Probably not gonna happen.
00:22:48Yeah.
00:22:49Okay.
00:22:51Yeah, you're welcome.
00:23:09Hi.
00:23:10Okay, come on.
00:23:16There you go.
00:23:21Look at the snow.
00:23:24Yeah.
00:23:31It's nice, huh?
00:23:38Yeah.
00:23:55It's okay, buddy.
00:23:57It's just for the night.
00:23:59Hey, baby girl, I know, I know you're hungry.
00:24:00You just need a...
00:24:01Yeah.
00:24:03Here we go.
00:24:06Don't you wanna go back to sleep?
00:24:07I know, you say.
00:24:38Oh.
00:24:44Hi, morning.
00:24:45Hi.
00:24:46Morning.
00:24:47I hope we didn't keep you up all night.
00:24:49No, not at all.
00:24:51I slept like a baby.
00:24:53I didn't even hear you guys.
00:24:53Were you up?
00:24:54Can't lie to a lawyer.
00:24:57There's coffee on the counter.
00:25:00You're welcome.
00:25:02Where's Natalie?
00:25:02Is she sleeping?
00:25:03Yeah, yeah.
00:25:04Once the sun came up,
00:25:05that's when she decided it was time to go back to bed.
00:25:08Right.
00:25:09Mm-hmm.
00:25:10You know, I think I heard somewhere
00:25:11it takes them like a few weeks to get their days
00:25:13and their nights kinda straightened out.
00:25:16Hmm.
00:25:18Well, it's not milk.
00:25:20It's formula.
00:25:22Ah, thank you.
00:25:24Clearly, I'm not quite awake yet, so.
00:25:29Did you do the dishes?
00:25:30You didn't have to do the dishes.
00:25:32Yeah, it was the least I could do.
00:25:33Hello, hello, hello.
00:25:35Shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:25:36Sorry, sorry.
00:25:36What?
00:25:37I didn't realize you had company.
00:25:39Hi.
00:25:40Hi.
00:25:40What are we shushing her for?
00:25:42It's a-
00:25:43Hi, my baby.
00:25:44My baby.
00:25:45Do you want a coffee?
00:25:45We're just drinking coffee right now.
00:25:47Yeah, yeah, I'll take a quick cup.
00:25:49Hey, do you mind?
00:25:50This is Dolly.
00:25:51Hold that, thanks.
00:25:52Let's do this!
00:25:53Quiet, quiet.
00:25:54Sorry, sorry.
00:25:56I'll go upstairs.
00:25:57Yeah, use your head.
00:25:58No, I'll go, I'll go.
00:25:59It's fine.
00:26:00Check on Donkey.
00:26:02Thanks.
00:26:06Hi.
00:26:06What's your name?
00:26:07Dolly?
00:26:08You're cute.
00:26:10She likes you.
00:26:11Hi.
00:26:14How old are you?
00:26:19Hi.
00:26:20Hi.
00:26:23She just freaked.
00:26:24She's okay?
00:26:25Yeah, she's getting pretty bad.
00:26:26You know, me and this rock star,
00:26:28we've been best friends since elementary school.
00:26:30Oh.
00:26:31Performed on stages all over the world, right?
00:26:34Well, one of us performed on stage.
00:26:38I'm Mary Ann.
00:26:39This rock star and I go back, what, a whole 12 hours?
00:26:4212 hours, yeah.
00:26:44Shawn Shepard.
00:26:44Nice to meet you.
00:26:47She got caught in the storm last night,
00:26:48just waiting for those roads to open up.
00:26:50Yeah, have you heard any news?
00:26:51I'd really love to go home.
00:26:53I just heard on the radio
00:26:54it's gonna be at least another day.
00:26:56There's road crews all over the state working overtime
00:26:58because they're short-staffed due to the holidays.
00:27:01Right.
00:27:05Wow, fancy schmancy, huh?
00:27:08Wow, you classed it up, the bar, and I like it.
00:27:10It's okay.
00:27:11Actually, the reason I came,
00:27:12I'm hoping you can give me a hand with Santa's truck.
00:27:15The engine's giving me trouble.
00:27:17Oh, really?
00:27:17Yeah, no, no problem.
00:27:18What's Santa's truck?
00:27:19Oh, the church.
00:27:20They put on a toy drive every year.
00:27:22Oh, cute.
00:27:23Yeah, my mom started the event.
00:27:24It's pretty cool.
00:27:25Santa takes photos with the kids.
00:27:27People drop off gifts.
00:27:28Oh, nice.
00:27:29You should come.
00:27:30I mean, you're gonna be here.
00:27:31No.
00:27:32It's really cool.
00:27:33No.
00:27:34It's really fun.
00:27:35Sean and I wear LFATs and have candy canes.
00:27:37Candy canes?
00:27:38Well, then I can't miss it.
00:27:40There's candy canes.
00:27:41There's candy canes.
00:27:41You gotta come.
00:27:42Obviously.
00:27:43Yeah.
00:27:45Wow.
00:27:48That is good stuff.
00:27:50Cheers.
00:27:51Cheers.
00:27:53Is there a grocery store nearby?
00:27:56I think I need more formula.
00:27:57Yeah, you need a little more formula.
00:28:04Wonderful.
00:28:05I'm looking forward to hearing you sing.
00:28:06So how do we label them with age range and gender,
00:28:10and then we place them here under the tree?
00:28:12Well, the shop owner labeled mine for me.
00:28:14So convenient.
00:28:14Well, if it isn't Prince Joseph.
00:28:16Hello, Mother.
00:28:17Hello, darling.
00:28:18How are you?
00:28:19Oh, good.
00:28:20Good.
00:28:21Oh, this is Marianne and her daughter, Natalie.
00:28:23Hi.
00:28:24Nice to meet you.
00:28:24And you.
00:28:25How are they all doing?
00:28:26Good.
00:28:27Good.
00:28:28Good.
00:28:29Good.
00:28:29Good.
00:28:30Good.
00:28:31Good.
00:28:32Good.
00:28:33Really got caught in that storm last night.
00:28:34Oh my goodness.
00:28:35Was that not atrocious?
00:28:37Came from nowhere, right?
00:28:38I know, yes.
00:28:39Sorry, this is my mom, Goldie.
00:28:41She's the one that started the whole toy drive.
00:28:43Yeah, I see where you get your curls.
00:28:44Yes.
00:28:4534 years and we are going strong.
00:28:48I actually started it with Joey's dad, Jake.
00:28:50But now I'm on my own,
00:28:53and I certainly could not have done it
00:28:55without the help of these amazing people
00:28:57here in Bethlehem,
00:28:58and of course, my sweet Joey.
00:29:01You've created something really beautiful.
00:29:03Dad would be really proud of you, Mom.
00:29:05Honey, I love you.
00:29:06Why don't you give me a hug?
00:29:09Yeah.
00:29:10Grandma.
00:29:11Oh, boy.
00:29:12Aw.
00:29:15And he's always been such a sweet soul, even as a little boy.
00:29:20He's been very kind to take us in.
00:29:23I see a lot of his father in him.
00:29:25Yeah?
00:29:26Mm-hmm.
00:29:27They were thick as thieves, those two.
00:29:29They would stay up late jamming in the bar
00:29:32like a couple of teenagers.
00:29:36Sounds like they were close.
00:29:37They were.
00:29:39He was a very special man, and we all miss him very much.
00:29:44I'm sorry.
00:29:48Marianne, this is my grandma, Myrtle.
00:29:50Oh, it's so nice to meet you.
00:29:51Finally, a sweet woman, Joey.
00:29:54I've been waiting.
00:29:55Oh, no.
00:29:56No, yeah, we're just friends.
00:29:58Yeah.
00:29:59For now.
00:29:59Grandma.
00:30:00Joe.
00:30:01Hey, Joe.
00:30:02Yeah, oh, yeah, yeah, go, go.
00:30:05All good.
00:30:06OK, just be nice, OK?
00:30:08Don't embarrass me.
00:30:09You can embarrass him.
00:30:10What can I say?
00:30:10I see what I see.
00:30:14This is my daughter, Natalie.
00:30:15I adopted her yesterday.
00:30:17But no husband?
00:30:20No.
00:30:20Are you OK?
00:30:22So sweet and brave.
00:30:24Let me see the angel.
00:30:27Oh, dear, dear, dear, dear.
00:30:29Oh, she's beautiful.
00:30:34Would you mind just keeping that bag?
00:30:36Yes, can I help you with anything?
00:30:38I just need to grab her pacifier.
00:30:41I've got it.
00:30:48You would have found it eventually.
00:30:50I don't know about that.
00:30:52Oh, yes.
00:30:53OK.
00:30:54The choir is practicing.
00:30:56Why don't you walk her over there?
00:30:57Babies love music.
00:30:59Yeah, she'll love it.
00:31:02Yeah, it's a great idea.
00:31:03I've got your stuff.
00:31:04It's all good.
00:31:05OK.
00:31:06It was nice to meet you both.
00:31:07Yes, OK.
00:31:09Behave yourselves.
00:31:10OK.
00:31:28Amen.
00:31:29Amen.
00:31:51Amen.
00:31:53There was a wandering man.
00:31:56Music has always been how I've connected most with God,
00:32:00and as a little boy.
00:32:02I really felt it today.
00:32:03Yeah.
00:32:06I noticed your cross necklace earlier.
00:32:07It's beautiful.
00:32:12Yeah, when I was a little kid, when
00:32:13the choir would sing or my dad and I would play,
00:32:15it's like I was being showered with God's light.
00:32:25I love that.
00:32:28You feel that too, little one?
00:32:32You know, when I was younger, I used to dance.
00:32:36And my mom always said she couldn't
00:32:37get me to stop creating these interpretive dance
00:32:40pieces every time the choir sang at Christmas time.
00:32:43I bet you were adorable.
00:32:46Yeah.
00:32:48I was moved, you know, in the same way that you were.
00:32:53Just inspired by the music and God.
00:32:59Every good and perfect gift comes from above.
00:33:02Isn't that right?
00:33:04James 117.
00:33:06It's one of my dad's favorite verses.
00:33:08Mine too.
00:33:10Yeah.
00:33:14The families are arriving.
00:33:18Great.
00:33:20You guys coming?
00:33:21Mm-hmm.
00:33:23Now?
00:33:34All right.
00:33:36Oh, watch your step.
00:33:39Oh, granny.
00:33:42Look at that.
00:33:43What do you make of those two, huh?
00:33:49I think Joseph might be smitten.
00:33:51What do you think?
00:33:53I think that storm may have been a part of a bigger plan.
00:33:56Hmm.
00:33:57Amen.
00:33:58Uh-huh.
00:34:10Hi.
00:34:11Hi.
00:34:12Did you sleep?
00:34:13Yeah.
00:34:15That one was tough.
00:34:19I think you deserve a cold one.
00:34:24Like an apple juice?
00:34:25Yes, please.
00:34:26That would be amazing.
00:34:35You know, I think I'm starting to see
00:34:37why being a single parent was so hard for my mom.
00:34:41Well, you can imagine it's not easy on anyone,
00:34:45single, married, four nannies.
00:34:49I remember growing up with Frankie,
00:34:50I always thought that I would adopt one day.
00:34:52But I don't think I have the courage to do that on my own.
00:34:59I'll tell you one thing, though.
00:35:00Having just met you, I would say that I have full faith
00:35:04that if anyone can do it, it's definitely you.
00:35:09Cheers.
00:35:10Cheers.
00:35:14You know, you don't have to stick around and entertain me.
00:35:17I can bend for myself.
00:35:19So if you have stuff to do.
00:35:21Well, I have nothing to do.
00:35:23Well, actually, I was going to decorate the tree.
00:35:26Since tomorrow is Christmas Eve,
00:35:27and I've probably procrastinated enough at this point.
00:35:32I could help you.
00:35:33Yeah?
00:35:34Yeah.
00:35:35That's amazing.
00:35:36My sister made that in some art class.
00:35:40Seems like you guys were close.
00:35:43I always wanted a sibling.
00:35:45Yeah, we're very close.
00:35:46She's always been my biggest supporter.
00:35:48Her and my dad would come to every single one of my shows
00:35:51when I was starting out.
00:35:52Yeah, you said you used to tour?
00:35:55Yeah.
00:35:56It was incredible.
00:35:59I mean, it was a lot of fun.
00:36:01I mean, it was a lot of fun.
00:36:03It was incredible.
00:36:06Until it wasn't.
00:36:08It's actually really lonely out on the road.
00:36:09And I just started to miss my family and community.
00:36:14Just my town.
00:36:16And then when my dad got sick,
00:36:17it just kind of put everything into perspective.
00:36:19Like, what am I doing out here?
00:36:21So I came back and helped him with the business.
00:36:29He taught me how to play.
00:36:32That's his guitar in there.
00:36:35I haven't played it since he passed.
00:36:40He really meant a lot to you, huh?
00:36:44He was my best friend.
00:36:50I haven't really shared that with anyone.
00:36:55Thank you for sharing it with me.
00:36:59All right, well, since we're opening up over here,
00:37:01why don't you tell me something about yourself, Marianne?
00:37:06Uh...
00:37:08I grew up with a single mom.
00:37:12My dad left when I was a baby.
00:37:15Um, she struggled a lot.
00:37:18Worked a lot of jobs to take care of me
00:37:19with no help from friends or family.
00:37:25So I was alone a lot.
00:37:27And grew up quickly, and, uh...
00:37:32Honestly, didn't really have anyone to rely on but myself.
00:37:34So that's...
00:37:37That's how I've lived my life.
00:37:40Wow.
00:37:41You should have done well for yourself.
00:37:45Like, my mom, she did everything she could,
00:37:49but we just didn't have a lot of money growing up.
00:37:52So it wasn't always easy.
00:37:55And I think, in a way, I just...
00:37:59I think I was determined to not struggle
00:38:01in the way that she did.
00:38:03You know, so I went to law school,
00:38:05became a lawyer, made a partner.
00:38:09And then I married someone who was equally ambitious.
00:38:14Who, uh...
00:38:17Left me when I couldn't get pregnant.
00:38:22I'm so sorry.
00:38:24Don't be.
00:38:26It was a blessing.
00:38:29Yeah, he was cold.
00:38:31You know, so I could keep him at arm's length.
00:38:33It was a safety thing, but...
00:38:37It wasn't a partnership.
00:38:39It was always whatever he wanted,
00:38:41and when I couldn't give him that...
00:38:45He chose to leave.
00:38:50And now he's engaged to someone half my age.
00:38:54Go figure.
00:38:55Wow.
00:38:57Must be tough.
00:38:58No.
00:39:01Honestly, I just leaned on God.
00:39:05And I found my inner strength.
00:39:09Hmm.
00:39:13I've actually never shared that with anyone, either.
00:39:16Well, look at us.
00:39:18Look at us.
00:39:19Sharesy pants over here.
00:39:22So, what about you?
00:39:24Have you been married?
00:39:26No.
00:39:27I always made music a priority until it wasn't.
00:39:33And since then, I haven't really found the motivation
00:39:35to do anything.
00:39:36Work.
00:39:38Relationships.
00:39:40Cleaning.
00:39:43Well, I hope you find your inspiration someday.
00:39:47Yeah.
00:39:48Me, too.
00:39:52Okay, no, no, no.
00:39:53Just trust me.
00:39:54This is gonna look good.
00:39:55It's not gonna work.
00:39:56It's gonna work.
00:39:57Boom.
00:39:58Look at that.
00:39:59Mm-mm.
00:40:00What?
00:40:01No.
00:40:02You go ahead and keep the star nightlight.
00:40:04Yes.
00:40:05This goes on top.
00:40:06No.
00:40:07Just like this.
00:40:09Boom.
00:40:10No.
00:40:11It's terrible.
00:40:12I actually think it's perfect.
00:40:13I mean, nothing really encapsulates Bethlehem
00:40:16more than pizza because, you know,
00:40:18they used to eat pizza back then, I think.
00:40:20I'm pretty sure they did.
00:40:21Did they?
00:40:22Yes, they did.
00:40:23Yeah, now that I think of it, I think you're right.
00:40:25Yeah.
00:40:26And nothing screams Christmas miracle
00:40:27quite like a cut-up pizza box.
00:40:29No, nothing does.
00:40:34Thank you for...
00:40:35Seriously.
00:40:36I was just gonna say it looks great.
00:40:38Yeah, I was just gonna say thank you for your help.
00:40:40My pleasure.
00:40:47I should probably head up to bed.
00:40:49Yeah, she'll be up.
00:40:51She's always up.
00:40:52Yeah.
00:40:53Sorry.
00:40:54No, that's okay.
00:40:58Okay, so...
00:40:59Hey, thank you.
00:41:04Best wishes.
00:41:07You too.
00:41:08Night, Joe.
00:41:11Night, Maria.
00:41:16Best wishes.
00:41:19Oh.
00:41:50Hi.
00:41:51You hungry?
00:41:52Oh, stinky.
00:41:53Okay, how about we change that?
00:42:00Hi. You hungry?
00:42:03Oh, stinky.
00:42:05Okay, how about we change that?
00:42:07What was that?
00:42:37No.
00:42:41Have you seen...
00:42:42Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:42:44Yeah, no, she's sleeping. It's okay.
00:42:46Oh, my goodness.
00:42:47She was fussing. I just picked her up.
00:42:49You were like...
00:42:50So I just wanted to let you go.
00:42:52Okay.
00:42:56Why are you dancing?
00:42:58She really likes when I do this.
00:43:00And then I go forward like this.
00:43:02And then I swoop around like this.
00:43:04Hmm, okay.
00:43:07Hey, there's a croissant and coffee in the kitchen.
00:43:11Oh, thank you.
00:43:20Okay, I got about five more minutes,
00:43:22then I'll get you out of here.
00:43:24No rush. The roads aren't supposed to open up
00:43:26for a couple more hours.
00:43:28Hey, look who's here.
00:43:30Yeah, the wreath cookies are all decorated,
00:43:31so I thought we'd get some fresh air.
00:43:33Nice.
00:43:34Hi, I'm Marianne.
00:43:35Gerald. Nice to meet you.
00:43:37Nice to meet you.
00:43:38What do we have here?
00:43:40This is Natalie.
00:43:42Wow.
00:43:44Wow, she's brand new, isn't she?
00:43:46Yeah, a couple days.
00:43:47Oh, beautiful.
00:43:49Here, take a load off.
00:43:52So you have far to go?
00:43:54Oh, I got about ten more hours of driving.
00:43:57Oh, you'll make it home just in time for Christmas.
00:44:00It's Christmas Eve already.
00:44:03I tell you, I can't tell one day from the next.
00:44:07Doesn't matter much for me these days.
00:44:11I'm just heading home after some work.
00:44:13So no plans?
00:44:15Nah, nah.
00:44:17My son lives across the country,
00:44:19and he's busy making Christmas memories with his own kids.
00:44:23I used to do a little something to celebrate on my own,
00:44:26but he gets old after a while.
00:44:31Hey, listen, if you want to stick around for a few days,
00:44:33you know, we do some pretty fun Christmas activities at the church.
00:44:37No, no.
00:44:39I'm just an old man, and I'm stuck in my ways.
00:44:41Fair enough.
00:44:43But if you change your mind, you know where to find us.
00:44:46You're all done.
00:44:47Good to go.
00:44:48Thanks, Joe.
00:44:50I'll pay up.
00:44:51All right.
00:44:57You two.
00:44:59Cherish what you've got here.
00:45:02Be grateful that you got each other,
00:45:04and you got this little one.
00:45:08Don't make the same mistakes I made.
00:45:11Over and out.
00:45:15We won't.
00:45:17There's nothing more important in life than family.
00:45:20Don't ever take that for granted.
00:45:23Merry Christmas.
00:45:24Merry Christmas.
00:45:26Watch your head.
00:45:27Watch your head there.
00:45:28All right.
00:45:29Merry Christmas.
00:45:30Thanks again.
00:45:34He was nice.
00:45:35Nice.
00:45:36Great guy.
00:45:37Yeah, great.
00:45:38Yeah, really kind.
00:45:41Can I get you two anything?
00:45:43No, no, thank you.
00:45:46I think we're just going to go for a little stroll around the block
00:45:48before we're stuck in the car.
00:45:51Yeah, that's a good idea.
00:45:54Listen, I'm all done here.
00:45:55Can I tag along?
00:45:58Please, that would be nice, yeah.
00:46:01Great.
00:46:03There's actually a special spot I've been wanting to show you.
00:46:08Come.
00:46:13Watch your head.
00:46:17Yeah, so this is my family barn.
00:46:20Built in 1915.
00:46:22It's actually where I found Donkey.
00:46:24He was a stray, cold and skinny.
00:46:27Found him in the donkey stable, hence his name.
00:46:30Ah, and now he eats pizza and has a best friend.
00:46:33Yeah, I think he's done all right for himself.
00:46:35I think he has.
00:46:37Okay, close your eyes because I've got a surprise for you.
00:46:41Okay.
00:46:42Grab on.
00:46:43Okay.
00:46:44Here we go.
00:46:51Wow.
00:46:52Amazing, right?
00:46:53After my dad sold off the animals,
00:46:55he started to build this collection.
00:46:57He would add to it every year,
00:46:59invite the community out to check it out.
00:47:01And of course, when he passed,
00:47:03we just kind of kept it up all year.
00:47:10It's amazing.
00:47:11It is.
00:47:13My mom opens it up so the community can come out
00:47:15and enjoy it throughout Christmas.
00:47:18It's such a great way to keep his memory alive.
00:47:22It is.
00:47:25Is this the same barn you have your late night jam sessions in?
00:47:31Your mom told me.
00:47:32Of course she did.
00:47:33Yes, this is the very one.
00:47:37It's a really special place.
00:47:39It is.
00:47:40It's the last year we're going to have it, though.
00:47:42They've implemented a new property tax law
00:47:44and the family doesn't think we can keep it, unfortunately.
00:47:49Sorry to hear that.
00:47:51Thanks.
00:47:53Thank you for showing it to me.
00:47:55Just thought you should see it.
00:47:59Oh.
00:48:02Ah.
00:48:04That's Sean.
00:48:05He says the roads have opened back up.
00:48:08Oh.
00:48:09Yeah, that's great.
00:48:11Yeah.
00:48:14Yeah.
00:48:16Bye, sweet girl.
00:48:17Don't grow up too fast.
00:48:20I can't thank you enough for your generosity.
00:48:23Oh, you're so welcome.
00:48:25Thank you for getting stuck and then allowing me to save you
00:48:29so that you could hang out here for a couple days
00:48:31because it's been really nice.
00:48:32It was the plan all along.
00:48:34Yeah, I figured as much.
00:48:35Yeah.
00:48:36All right, well, drive safe.
00:48:40I will.
00:48:43And just be careful on the mountain pass.
00:48:45You know, it can be a little slick,
00:48:47especially with two-wheel drive.
00:48:49Okay.
00:48:50Okay.
00:48:51And maybe just give me a call when you land
00:48:54just so I know you got there safely.
00:48:56For sure, yeah.
00:48:57And just kind of in general, you know, like keep in touch
00:49:00because, you know, I'm going to need some Natalie updates.
00:49:04I get it.
00:49:07Bye.
00:49:10Really?
00:49:19Are you kidding?
00:49:25Oh.
00:49:29Great.
00:49:32Yeah.
00:49:34Okay.
00:49:37Okay.
00:49:39Merry Christmas.
00:49:41Okay, so your ignition switch is shot,
00:49:43and unfortunately we don't keep foreign parts on hand
00:49:45and neither do any of the other shops in the vicinity.
00:49:48Makes sense.
00:49:49Now, I can order one,
00:49:50but it's not going to arrive until after Christmas.
00:49:53Okay.
00:49:55Why don't I just drive you?
00:49:56I'm going to drive you.
00:49:57Oh, no, no.
00:49:58Yeah.
00:49:59No, no, no.
00:50:00I'm not going to make you drive eight hours round trip
00:50:02on Christmas Eve.
00:50:03It's fine.
00:50:04I'll just call Gab.
00:50:05No, you're calling a cab.
00:50:06You're not calling a cab.
00:50:07I'm going to drive you.
00:50:08You're not calling a cab.
00:50:09I'm going to drive you.
00:50:10We'll get in, or you could just stay.
00:50:17She wants to stay.
00:50:21I actually think it's gas.
00:50:23Sorry.
00:50:24But I'm sure she would.
00:50:28You know, I'd love to show you and Natalie
00:50:29what our Christmases are like.
00:50:33I mean, it would be a lot easier
00:50:34than having to ship the car.
00:50:35Yeah.
00:50:36I mean, would that?
00:50:37You know what?
00:50:38I'm sure some rooms opened up at the inn.
00:50:39No, we're not staying at the inn.
00:50:40Come on.
00:50:41Don't be silly.
00:50:42Why would you stay at the inn?
00:50:43We've got it all set up at my place.
00:50:50What do you say?
00:51:12Hey, what are these logos?
00:51:15Hmm?
00:51:16The logos.
00:51:17Oh.
00:51:19Yeah, I got those made a while back,
00:51:21but I've been slacking.
00:51:22Surprise, surprise.
00:51:23They're really great.
00:51:25I like this one.
00:51:26It's like modern, but still classic.
00:51:28Really?
00:51:29Yeah.
00:51:30That's kind of the one I was gravitating towards as well.
00:51:31It's very modern and classic.
00:51:34Modern and classic.
00:51:35Yeah.
00:51:36Yeah, it's great.
00:51:38Yeah, I just thought I'd start advertising some more,
00:51:40you know, try to take my business to the next level,
00:51:44you know?
00:51:45Smart.
00:51:46Yeah.
00:51:50Oh, more importantly, I need to ask you,
00:51:52which sweater do you want to wear tonight?
00:51:54You ready?
00:51:55This is big, okay?
00:51:56Are you chill out, dude?
00:51:59Or, oh, snap.
00:52:02Oh, this is a tough call.
00:52:04It is a tough call.
00:52:06I'm going to say snowman we did.
00:52:08Yeah, dude.
00:52:09It's clear.
00:52:10Hey, it's me.
00:52:11Hey, hey.
00:52:12Thank you so much for taking us.
00:52:14You bet.
00:52:15Of course.
00:52:16Wow, your place looks amazing.
00:52:18Hey, how are you?
00:52:19Just, you know, wanted to get some organizing done.
00:52:21Okay.
00:52:22Well, I'm shocked.
00:52:24I didn't know you could clean.
00:52:26What are you talking about?
00:52:27I clean all the time.
00:52:28No, you don't.
00:52:29Yeah, I do.
00:52:30I've never seen you clean before.
00:52:32Sorry, did you make these?
00:52:34Yeah.
00:52:35Are you joking?
00:52:36No, I bake cookies.
00:52:37No, you don't.
00:52:38Yeah, I do.
00:52:39Well, I did, didn't I?
00:52:40You did, I saw.
00:52:41Anyway.
00:52:42Are you okay?
00:52:43Great.
00:52:44It's hotter.
00:52:45I'm fine, Frankie.
00:52:46Did something happen?
00:52:47Okay, that's enough.
00:52:48No more talking, okay?
00:52:49I'm sorry.
00:52:50I thought you lost it.
00:52:51We're all good.
00:52:52None of you were a good sister.
00:52:53We're having fun, right?
00:52:54It's okay.
00:52:55Weird.
00:52:56You're weird.
00:52:57Like, just hold on tight.
00:52:59Nothing that Christmas can't put right.
00:53:04Like, all of it?
00:53:05Yeah.
00:53:06Well, whatever.
00:53:07I'm out.
00:53:08Drop us off.
00:53:10There you go, guys.
00:53:13Hey.
00:53:15Hey, guys.
00:53:16Uncle Bill was telling Marcus about all your amazing dance moves.
00:53:17You were?
00:53:18I mean, I don't even know what you're talking about, because I don't really dance.
00:53:19Oh, really?
00:53:20Cha-cha, the waltz, the tango.
00:53:21Mom says you can do them all.
00:53:22Oh, I mean, but not really as good as I can do the robot.
00:53:23I mean, do you want me to get out there and do some of my awesome moves for everybody,
00:53:24or what?
00:53:25Here we go.
00:53:26Oh, no.
00:53:27Oh, my.
00:53:28Okay.
00:53:29It's a bird.
00:53:30It's a plane.
00:53:31It's speedo man.
00:53:32Oh, my.
00:53:33Oh, my.
00:53:34Oh, my.
00:53:35Oh, my.
00:53:36Oh, my.
00:53:37Oh, my.
00:53:38Oh, my.
00:53:39Oh, my.
00:53:40Oh, my.
00:53:42It's a bird.
00:53:43It's a plane.
00:53:44It's speedo man.
00:53:45Here we go.
00:53:46Oh, no.
00:53:47Oh, my.
00:53:48Okay.
00:53:49It's a bird.
00:53:50It's a plane.
00:53:51It's speedo man.
00:53:52So we hold the map.
00:53:53Joe told me about your car.
00:53:54Oh, yeah, it's, you know, it's unfortunate.
00:53:55There's nothing I can really do.
00:53:56So yeah, well, even the not so ideal moments have a reason.
00:53:57You and Joe seem to have paid it off.
00:54:00Yeah, yeah, I mean, we're very grateful for his hospitality.
00:54:03Hm, you should spend the holidays with us.
00:54:07I'm doing a Christmas Eve dinner tonight, and we do the best games.
00:54:10It'll be like a whole feast.
00:54:12I don't think I brought anything nice enough for that.
00:54:15Plus, you know, she's probably just gonna cry the entire time.
00:54:19And, you know, I just wouldn't want her to bother you guys during dinner.
00:54:23She'll just be screaming.
00:54:24Well, even if she does, there will be several aunties and grandmas just dying to hold her.
00:54:28We really love babies in this family, as you can clearly see.
00:54:32Okay, what if I just have Bob drop off a few dress options, you know?
00:54:36Believe it or not, I haven't always been this big.
00:54:40Like that?
00:54:41All right.
00:54:42Really? Great!
00:54:43Yeah, you're very convincing.
00:54:45Oh, thank you.
00:54:46You should be a lawyer.
00:54:47Hmm, I will consider it.
00:54:50Ah, here we are.
00:54:51The thing is, is this is our song, and I heard her out there saying that she needs me to take her to the dance floor.
00:54:55Oh, I know.
00:54:56So she don't mind.
00:54:57Of course.
00:54:58Oh, easy.
00:55:00Okay.
00:55:03Here we go.
00:55:04We got her.
00:55:09She's a good guy.
00:55:11Yeah.
00:55:15Double dancer.
00:55:19Say hi, Mommy.
00:55:40Hi, Mom.
00:55:41I just want to wish you a Merry Christmas Eve.
00:55:45Merry Christmas Eve to you, too.
00:55:47You too, am I right?
00:55:48Sweetie, anything you want to talk about?
00:55:50No, no, I'm fine.
00:55:51How about you?
00:55:52You've been baking Christmas cookies all day.
00:55:54How'd you guess?
00:55:56We all have our own traditions, right?
00:55:58Yes, we do.
00:55:59Well, I won't keep you from your takeout.
00:56:04I love you, honey.
00:56:06I love you, too, Mom.
00:56:07Good night.
00:56:13This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine.
00:56:19This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine.
00:56:27I'm gonna let it shine, this little light of mine.
00:56:33I'm gonna let it shine, this little light of mine.
00:56:39I'm gonna let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
00:56:51It was beautiful.
00:56:57I figured it was time.
00:57:05You look gorgeous.
00:57:09Like, gorgeous.
00:57:17You, um, you clean up pretty well yourself.
00:57:20Oh, this whole thing.
00:57:23Yeah, it's giving me, uh, Fred Astaire and Holiday Inn vibes.
00:57:27Say, why don't we head out to the farm, huh?
00:57:31We'll dance and we'll sing like it's the holidays, huh?
00:57:34I mean, the resemblance is uncanny.
00:57:42Speaking of Fred Astaire, what was it that I heard about you knowing the cha-cha, the waltz, and the tango?
00:57:49Yeah, so, my sister used to be a ballroom dancer, and when her partner couldn't come, I used to fill in for the rehearsals, so.
00:57:57Kind of picked up a few moves along the way.
00:58:00Well, I mean, the music is playing. Now's your time to shine.
00:58:05Oh, I don't really have anything prepared, but if you insist.
00:58:11But, I need a partner.
00:58:20Not bad, Mr. Astaire.
00:58:24Not too bad of a snort.
00:58:49On Christmas Day
00:58:53Is that it?
00:58:55Mm-hmm.
00:59:11Hi.
00:59:13I know, I know.
00:59:16Hi, honey. It's okay, shh, shh, shh.
00:59:21It's okay.
00:59:22We should probably get going anyway.
00:59:24Yeah.
00:59:25Yeah.
00:59:26I got you.
00:59:28Merry Christmas, you two.
00:59:30Merry Christmas, Mom. How are you?
00:59:32Good. Oh, you dress up so well.
00:59:36Oh, my goodness, look at you.
00:59:38You look beautiful.
00:59:39As do you.
00:59:40Actually, I wanted to talk to you both about something.
00:59:43So, Joe told me about the barn and the tax liability.
00:59:47Yeah, we're pretty heartbroken over that one.
00:59:50Right.
00:59:52So, I looked into the tax laws for Northampton County,
00:59:56and given the history and the current relevance to the community,
01:00:02your barn actually meets all of the requirements to be a historic structure here.
01:00:06Wait, sorry, what are you saying? That's a good thing, right?
01:00:08It's good. It means you qualify for several tax credits and grants,
01:00:12and that your tax liability is lower than it even was before.
01:00:16Oh, my.
01:00:17Plus, your barn and Jake's memory will be preserved for generations to come.
01:00:24That is incredible. What do we owe you?
01:00:26Nothing, nothing, please. You've both been so kind to me.
01:00:31I'd be honored to file the paperwork.
01:00:35You are an absolute saint. Thank you so much.
01:00:39You're welcome.
01:00:40You have no idea how much this means to us.
01:00:43I've got to go tell Frankie.
01:00:44Go tell Frankie.
01:00:46I'm so glad you found her.
01:00:48Look at how happy you make her.
01:00:50Frankie, Frankie.
01:00:51Thank you so much.
01:00:54It's the least I could do.
01:00:56I appreciate it.
01:01:00All right, let's take Grace.
01:01:06Dear God, thank you for this very special time when we can all be together.
01:01:12For our health and for a family that we know we can rely on.
01:01:17For our Noah, the beautiful baby growing inside of me,
01:01:20who will very soon be a member of this loving community.
01:01:26Thank you for bringing Mary Ann to us.
01:01:28We are so grateful for everything she's done for our family.
01:01:31And thank you for busting her starter switch
01:01:34so she and Natalie were forced to join us on this very special day.
01:01:39Thank you for this beautiful and bountiful feast,
01:01:42and most importantly for this joyful season
01:01:45when we are blessed to celebrate our Savior and his love for us.
01:01:49With joy we pray, amen.
01:01:51Amen.
01:01:52All right, now the turkey.
01:01:54Joe, would you do the honors?
01:01:57Excuse me?
01:01:59All right.
01:02:00Yeah.
01:02:01Love to.
01:02:02Okay.
01:02:03Sure, sure.
01:02:04I've never carved a turkey before.
01:02:06It should be interesting.
01:02:08Good luck.

01:03:30Yeah.
01:03:32They're pretty great, right?
01:03:34Oh!
01:03:36Yeah, these shoes just aren't
01:03:38made for ice.
01:03:40Gotcha.
01:03:42Thanks.
01:03:44Hey,
01:03:46um, thanks for inviting
01:03:48us tonight. Yeah.
01:03:50I don't think I have laughed that hard in a
01:03:52very long time.
01:03:54You should do it more often, because it
01:03:56lights up the room.
01:03:58Think so? Oh yeah, a big time.
01:04:00And it makes me feel really good
01:04:02when you laugh. It does? Yeah.
01:04:04Like that, just do that, just do that.
01:04:06Okay.
01:04:10Maybe,
01:04:12I don't know, maybe
01:04:14just bring it out of me.
01:04:16Yeah.
01:04:18Yeah.
01:04:22Joe!
01:04:24Brooke! Hi.
01:04:26Hi.
01:04:28Hi. Are you serious?
01:04:30Would you just come in here
01:04:32for a second? Manage me.
01:04:34Tell me, you got big Christmas plans?
01:04:36Christmas plans? Yeah.
01:04:38You're unbelievable. You should just calm down.
01:04:40What, like a week ago? Who is that?
01:04:42It's nothing,
01:04:44can you just be quiet? The baby's trying to sleep.
01:04:46The baby? Yes.
01:04:48I'm here because it was Christmas
01:04:50Eve, and I missed you.
01:04:52And I thought you might miss me too, but I mean
01:04:54clearly,
01:04:56I was wrong.
01:04:58You look fantastic. Thank you.
01:05:00Your house is clean,
01:05:02and you have a new girlfriend and a baby.
01:05:04Okay, just look, it's not like that.
01:05:06Okay, they got stranded in the storm,
01:05:08I'm not gonna leave a woman and a baby
01:05:10outside, so I said they could stay here.
01:05:12Yeah, but you're gonna go on romantic
01:05:14strolls on Christmas Eve? Yeah.
01:05:16In evening wear? Yes!
01:05:18It just felt right. Oh.
01:05:20Baby just fell asleep, it's like a nice
01:05:22little evening stroll. Yeah.
01:05:24Okay, look, it's not like that, alright?
01:05:26She's not, we just, she's been
01:05:28around a couple days, she's a stranger, Brooke.
01:05:30Okay, she's a stranger. Stranger?
01:05:32So at this point, ignore her a few days.
01:05:34So for a stranger, you'll clean your house.
01:05:36Well, she's not a stranger. For a stranger,
01:05:38you'll put on a suit. Yep.
01:05:40For a stranger, oh, you'll, what,
01:05:42push a stroller, change your life?
01:05:44Brooke, listen, listen, you are such
01:05:46a wonderful person.
01:05:48Yes. You are strong and
01:05:50intelligent and beautiful.
01:05:52I'm aware. Okay, good.
01:05:54Because I'm telling you, I'm sorry that I took you for granted.
01:05:56I really am. But listen,
01:05:58I'm not the right person for you.
01:06:00You know what? Thanks for that.
01:06:02Whatever.
01:06:04Good luck to this lady.
01:06:06What's she gonna last? Two months?
01:06:08Help you set a new record? I won't say that.
01:06:10Merry Christmas.
01:06:18Hey. Hey.
01:06:20Uh.
01:06:22It's complicated.
01:06:24Um. Are you okay?
01:06:26Oh, good. I'm sorry that you had to hear that.
01:06:28That was embarrassing. She's just,
01:06:30blah, you know. I barely heard anything.
01:06:32Okay, good. It's okay.
01:06:36Um.
01:06:38I was just thinking
01:06:40that maybe I will,
01:06:42it'll be easier if I just grab a cab tomorrow
01:06:44and head back to the city, and then I can
01:06:46just ship the car when it's fixed. Are you sure? I mean, I don't think
01:06:48you should. Christmas is coming. It's so fun
01:06:50here at Christmas.
01:06:52I'll go to the church the kids sing.
01:06:54Natalie would love it. Yeah.
01:06:58I just feel like I've outstayed my
01:07:00welcome and I should get home and stop
01:07:02interfering with your life. You're not interfering.
01:07:04You are not interfering with
01:07:06my life. If anything,
01:07:08you have made my life
01:07:10so much better.
01:07:18Listen, I,
01:07:20I'm, I'm
01:07:22grateful that you took us in
01:07:24and, you know, we were able to help
01:07:26each other out while
01:07:28I was here, but I need to
01:07:30go home now.
01:07:34Don't.
01:07:40Good night. Ciao.
01:07:52Good night.
01:07:58Hi.
01:08:00It's just you and me, baby girl.
01:08:22Oh.
01:08:34You're not leaving, are you? Because I made,
01:08:36I made you some Christmas morning coffee cake.
01:08:38So. Yeah, it's, it's time to get
01:08:40home. But it's Christmas.
01:08:42Oh, no. No, you should, you should stay
01:08:44and celebrate with us, especially after everything
01:08:46you've done for our family. Right, Jo? I mean, you could
01:08:48just, you go back tomorrow. I'm sorry.
01:08:50You, you have been so welcoming.
01:08:52Your whole family has. I'm just
01:08:54ready for some time alone with
01:08:56Natalie.
01:08:58Okay.
01:09:00Jo, do something. What?
01:09:04Okay, well, um, at least take
01:09:06the cake. No, thank you.
01:09:08You guys enjoy it.
01:09:10Right. Thank you
01:09:12both. I, I don't know what
01:09:14I would have done without you.
01:09:16You know, it's not too late to change
01:09:18your mind.
01:09:20You always have a place with all of us here.
01:09:22And a room at the inn, barring any natural
01:09:24disaster.
01:09:26I appreciate it. Thank you.
01:09:28Merry Christmas, Marianne.
01:09:30Merry Christmas, Frankie.
01:09:36I'll, um, set the cake
01:09:38inside. Yeah, okay.
01:09:40Well.
01:09:42Yeah.
01:09:44You, um,
01:09:46took a stranger into your home,
01:09:48but you didn't have to.
01:09:50We'll be forever
01:09:52grateful. Of course.
01:09:56Listen, it was a real gift
01:09:58having both of you here, so
01:10:00thank you.
01:10:06Take care of yourself.
01:10:08I always do.
01:10:10I always do.
01:10:14You too.
01:10:16Yeah.
01:10:26Hey.
01:10:30Bye.
01:10:40Bye.
01:11:10What are you doing, buddy?
01:11:12What's that?
01:11:14What do you got here?
01:11:16What's this?
01:11:20I miss her too, buddy.
01:11:26Just need some gas.
01:11:28Okay.
01:11:40Any
01:11:42guidance?
01:11:58Hi, Mom.
01:12:00Hi, sweetie.
01:12:02Last chance for a Christmas visitor?
01:12:04I don't know.
01:12:06I don't know.
01:12:08I know it was hard
01:12:10for you as a kid, and
01:12:12that's my
01:12:14fault.
01:12:16But I don't want you to spend your whole life
01:12:18pushing away every person
01:12:22who wants to be close to you.
01:12:24You know, you spend
01:12:26the rest of your
01:12:28year alone.
01:12:30Maybe make an exception for Christmas.
01:12:32You're
01:12:34right, Mom.
01:12:36It's time to try something
01:12:38different, and
01:12:40I would love to spend Christmas
01:12:42with you.
01:12:44Is there any way you could
01:12:46come to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania?
01:12:48I can send you an address.

01:15:52Jake's barn, so let's finish our ciders
01:15:54and snacks and get bundled up. I,
01:15:56I'm just going to make one little change.
01:15:58Oh, I can do it. No, no, no.
01:16:00I'm good. Are you sure? Yeah.
01:16:02Okay. Thanks, Mom.
01:16:04Thank you for the treats.
01:16:06Oh, Mom, hi.
01:16:08Merry Christmas.
01:16:10Oh, no.
01:16:12Um,
01:16:14listen, before we start celebrating,
01:16:16can I just talk to you for a moment?
01:16:18Yes, of course, darling. I just didn't hear. I'll be right there.
01:16:20Alright. Hi, honey.
01:16:24Could you bring Natalie to me in a moment?
01:16:26Yeah. Okay.
01:16:28Okay. I know
01:16:30it's, um, a little bit strange,
01:16:32and I'll explain everything, I promise.
01:16:34But more importantly,
01:16:36Mom, um,
01:16:40I wanted to apologize
01:16:42apologize.
01:16:44I'm sorry for being so distant,
01:16:46especially lately.
01:16:50After, uh, my marriage
01:16:52ended,
01:16:54I felt like a failure.
01:16:58A failure at
01:17:00becoming
01:17:02a mother.
01:17:04A failure to you,
01:17:06and a failure to myself.
01:17:08Yeah.
01:17:10It was just
01:17:12a lot of pressure.
01:17:16And I know that you were just
01:17:18trying to be there for me, and
01:17:22I pushed you
01:17:24away.
01:17:26Oh.
01:17:28I guess I didn't know how to
01:17:30accept the help.
01:17:32Oh, my goodness. You know, you make
01:17:34grandmas very happy.
01:17:36Take her from here.
01:17:38Oh, please.
01:17:40There you go.
01:17:42Yeah.
01:17:44Just felt like you didn't need me
01:17:46anymore.
01:17:48Mom.
01:17:50I don't blame you
01:17:52for anything.
01:17:54Yes.
01:17:56It was hard
01:17:58for both of us.
01:18:00I know that.
01:18:02But what you don't realize is that
01:18:04you were setting
01:18:06an example for me.
01:18:20You're welcome.
01:18:22Hi, baby.
01:18:26This is Natalie,
01:18:28your granddaughter.
01:18:30Oh.
01:18:32Um,
01:18:34I adopted her a few days ago
01:18:36on my own with
01:18:38no partner.
01:18:40I know you might think that,
01:18:42you know, maybe I'm ruining
01:18:44my life because I'm doing this on
01:18:46my own, but
01:18:48this is what I want.
01:18:50Is that what you think?
01:18:52That you ruined
01:18:54my life?
01:18:56You were the best part of it.
01:18:58You were worth the
01:19:00hard. You were worth the struggle.
01:19:02Although I know you are perfectly
01:19:04capable, you are not gonna have to do
01:19:06this on your own. You should love to.
01:19:10I'm realizing that now.
01:19:14Mom, I still
01:19:16need you.
01:19:18Okay? Okay.
01:19:20We both
01:19:22do. May I hold
01:19:24her? Of course.
01:19:30There we go.
01:19:34Hello, Natalie.
01:19:38I'm your grandma.
01:19:42I'm her grandma.
01:19:48She's beautiful,
01:19:50darling.
01:19:52Thank you. Hi.
01:19:54Hi.
01:19:56Mom,
01:19:58this is Jo.
01:20:02Jo?
01:20:04Jo's been helping me out.
01:20:06Oh.
01:20:08It's pretty special to me.
01:20:12Oh my goodness.
01:20:14That's a lot for you, I know.
01:20:16What a Merry Christmas.
01:20:20Okay, I'm gonna
01:20:22meet you in there.
01:20:24Okay.
01:20:28As most of you know, my late husband
01:20:30Jake put this lovely display
01:20:32together. He started
01:20:34this collection 15 years ago.
01:20:36And he would say that just like
01:20:38the beautiful community here in
01:20:40Bethlehem, every year this
01:20:42collection would also continue to
01:20:44grow. So we have
01:20:46continued on with our tradition.
01:20:48Every year we add a new piece.
01:20:50So on that note, Frankie,
01:20:52would you please do the honors?
01:20:54Of course. Bob, would you?
01:20:58Here we go, and...
01:21:00Yes!
01:21:02That's great.
01:21:04So this is the moment that Jake would play his
01:21:06Come let us
01:21:08adore him.
01:21:10Come let us
01:21:12adore him.
01:21:14Come let us adore
01:21:16him in Christ
01:21:18the Lord.
01:21:20He's back.
01:21:26Love you, buddy.
01:21:28Well done.
01:21:30So, this
01:21:32year, just as Jake predicted,
01:21:34we have also added more beautiful
01:21:36souls to our circle.
01:21:38Hannah, our sweet
01:21:40little angel.
01:21:42Natalie.
01:21:44And Marianne, who has
01:21:46done more for this family than she knows.
01:21:48And has
01:21:50enabled us to continue with this
01:21:52tradition. So, I
01:21:54think it's time for our annual Christmas
01:21:56photo.
01:22:12Do you want me to hold her for the photo?
01:22:14No.
01:22:16No, it's her first Christmas. I will
01:22:18hold her. Thank you.
01:22:20Tell you what.
01:22:24You can hold her next year. How about that?
01:22:26Next year?
01:22:28I like the
01:22:30sounds of that. Okay.
01:22:32Those words are legally binding,
01:22:34right? Well,
01:22:36not legally binding.
01:22:38No, we'd have to, uh...
01:22:40We'd have to seal
01:22:42it somehow.
01:22:46Okay.
01:22:52Sealed with a kiss.
01:22:54Okay, are we ready?
01:22:56Here we go, Sean.
