00:00:00♪♪♪
00:00:10♪♪♪
00:00:13A Christmas miracle.
00:00:15♪♪♪
00:00:18And this is for Snow.
00:00:20Wow, he'll be a very happy dog this year.
00:00:23Oh, and there's also one for you, Dad.
00:00:25Oh, thank you, son.
00:00:27In fact, it's for you and for Mom.
00:00:29Yes, it's a gift from Lydia and me.
00:00:32For you two.
00:00:37Did you buy the tickets?
00:00:39I did.
00:00:41I bet Mom will be delighted with this.
00:00:45If she wakes up.
00:00:47Yes, I want to open the gifts.
00:00:49And do we have to wait for her?
00:00:52Yes, we have to wait.
00:00:54You know what? I'll go check.
00:00:56Okay? Wait here.
00:00:58I'll be right back.
00:01:06Merry Christmas.
00:01:08Are you coming?
00:01:10To celebrate the day?
00:01:12Maybe open a gift?
00:01:14Or four?
00:01:17I'm not in the mood.
00:01:20Come on, let's go. The kids are waiting.
00:01:24Are you crying?
00:01:26Just start without me.
00:01:28Merry, please, let's go.
00:01:37It's my dad's birthday.
00:01:40I know, hey.
00:01:42I understand what you're feeling today.
00:01:45But the kids have already woken up and are very excited.
00:01:48You don't understand, James.
00:01:50I mean...
00:01:52Dad's gone.
00:01:54And now you and I are not sure
00:01:56that there will be another Christmas together.
00:02:00I can't help it.
00:02:02I just want to be in bed, okay?
00:02:04No, let's not do this.
00:02:06Let's go.
00:02:08It's not clear to you?
00:02:12I don't understand.
00:02:15What do you mean?
00:02:17I don't understand.
00:02:19I thought we wouldn't keep thinking
00:02:21about the things we can't control.
00:02:24Only God knows, right?
00:02:31Merry, please.
00:02:33The kids are downstairs
00:02:35waiting to celebrate this day with their mother.
00:02:38And we will have been blessed
00:02:40with this Christmas together.
00:02:43I want to be there and enjoy it
00:02:45as a family.
00:02:48You, me, Lidia and Caleb.
00:02:53I love you.
00:02:54I love you.
00:02:56Good, I like it.
00:02:58And here's one for you, from me.
00:03:02Mom!
00:03:03Mom!
00:03:04Merry Christmas!
00:03:05Hi, Merry Christmas!
00:03:07Merry Christmas, Mom, I love you.
00:03:09I love you too.
00:03:10Merry Christmas, kids.
00:03:13Wow, look how many presents!
00:03:15I know.
00:03:16Dad, did he give you the present
00:03:18Caleb and I made?
00:03:20Not yet.
00:03:22Is it...?
00:03:23Here you go.
00:03:25Why don't you open it?
00:03:26Okay.
00:03:28Here we go, Mom.
00:03:29Please.
00:03:32Well,
00:03:33they ask, I answer, right?
00:03:35That's right.
00:03:36Very good.
00:03:37Wow.
00:03:43Oh!
00:03:44Look at that.
00:03:45Oh, my God!
00:03:47The picture of our wedding!
00:03:49Thank you, guys.
00:03:50It's beautiful.
00:03:51It's great.
00:03:52It's perfect.
00:03:53Wow.
00:03:54Look how beautiful and radiant
00:03:56your mother was.
00:03:57How crazy.
00:03:59And she still is.
00:04:00Many years have passed,
00:04:02so, well, I...
00:04:03Very good.
00:04:04You haven't stopped being the same person
00:04:06I am today.
00:04:07You're making it worse.
00:04:08Stop talking, James Boyce.
00:04:09I'd love to see a little fire
00:04:11in your guts, right?
00:04:13Did you like the picture, Mom?
00:04:15We saw the old one
00:04:16and we had it restored and framed.
00:04:18I love it.
00:04:19I really love it.
00:04:20Thank you very much.
00:04:21Thank you very much, guys.
00:04:23It was very considerate.
00:04:25You're great.
00:04:26Oh, and?
00:04:31This was on my account.
00:04:35I thought we agreed
00:04:36not to give each other presents.
00:04:37That's right,
00:04:38but I changed my mind.
00:04:39What is it?
00:04:40Open it.
00:04:41You're a rebel.
00:04:42I know.
00:04:43Okay.
00:04:45Let's see.
00:04:53Was this going to make my day?
00:04:58Yes.
00:04:59We had agreed to go on a cruise
00:05:00and I thought...
00:05:01In a year and a half?
00:05:02We live by faith, honey.
00:05:03Let's go.
00:05:04What?
00:05:05Didn't you hear the doctor?
00:05:07That's right.
00:05:08I thought it would be good
00:05:09to do this for us because...
00:05:10James, did you forget
00:05:11what she told us?
00:05:13Because I don't.
00:05:15I remember it like it was yesterday.
00:05:18With your results, Mr. Boyce,
00:05:20most patients
00:05:21don't live more than 18 months.
00:05:24So you have less than a year and a half left
00:05:27and you still dare to book
00:05:29a cruise trip?
00:05:30Mary, please.
00:05:32It's Christmas.
00:05:33What if...
00:05:34You know what?
00:05:35No, I'm sorry.
00:05:36I need a minute.
00:05:37Hey, baby.
00:05:44Very good.
00:05:45Who's next?
00:05:50Kids, we have to go!
00:05:53Ta-da!
00:05:54Are you sure you don't want to come?
00:05:56No, I have to prepare dinner
00:05:59and get everything ready.
00:06:02You know.
00:06:04You're welcome.
00:06:06Listen,
00:06:07about the cruise...
00:06:08It's okay.
00:06:09We'll talk about it later.
00:06:10Okay?
00:06:11Okay.
00:06:13You always say it
00:06:14if it doesn't happen.
00:06:21Oh!
00:06:22Wow!
00:06:23You look great.
00:06:24Aren't you coming with us?
00:06:26No, no.
00:06:27Remember that Grandma
00:06:28and her uncles
00:06:29will be here soon,
00:06:30so someone
00:06:31must leave the house ready.
00:06:32But you don't come with us anymore.
00:06:33It's because of Dad's diagnosis.
00:06:35Oh.
00:06:36You know what, kids?
00:06:37It's not time to talk about that.
00:06:39Okay?
00:06:40And don't mention it
00:06:41when the whole family is here.
00:06:42Got it?
00:06:43We know.
00:06:44Okay, Mom.
00:06:45Okay.
00:06:46Come here.
00:06:47Come on.
00:06:48Have fun.
00:06:49Muah!
00:06:50Behave.
00:06:51Bye, love.
00:06:52Bye, love.
00:06:53I love you.
00:06:54I love you.
00:06:55Very good.
00:06:56Very good.
00:06:57We're leaving.
00:06:58We're leaving.
00:06:59Don't take off your coats.
00:07:00It's cold.
00:07:04Ah.
00:07:20A Christmas miracle.
00:07:34It came upon a midnight gleam
00:07:40That glorious song of old
00:07:47From angels bending near
00:07:54The earth above
00:08:01To touch their harps of gold
00:08:08Peace on earth, goodwill to men
00:08:15From heav'n's all-gracious King
00:08:21The world in solemn stillness lay
00:08:29To hear the angels sing
00:08:43Gloria
00:08:53In excelsis Deo
00:08:59Sing him in a manger laid
00:09:04Jesus, Lord of heaven and earth
00:09:09Mary, Joseph, lend your aid
00:09:13With us sing our Savior's birth
00:09:18Gloria
00:09:27In excelsis Deo
00:09:32Gloria
00:09:42In excelsis Deo
00:09:53Wow!
00:09:54And all the disciples said,
00:09:56Amen!
00:09:59I must admit that when you got that note,
00:10:01it was like, wow!
00:10:02That man really knows how to sing.
00:10:04There he is, Papa.
00:10:09Merry Christmas.
00:10:11I am James Boyce.
00:10:14These are my sons Lydia and Caleb.
00:10:19Yes, how are you?
00:10:22Are you new here?
00:10:23I had not seen you before.
00:10:26I come from another city.
00:10:27Ah.
00:10:28Are you coming for the family?
00:10:30No.
00:10:32He came for business.
00:10:34At Christmas?
00:10:37I was just telling him that it is a shame that he does not live here.
00:10:40I would love for him to be in the choir of the church.
00:10:42Yes.
00:10:43You do know how to sing.
00:10:45Are you someone famous or something?
00:10:47No.
00:10:48No?
00:10:49Well, it seems that you are.
00:10:50We could hear you from the front row.
00:10:53Excuse me, what was your name?
00:10:57It's Harry.
00:10:59His name is Harry.
00:11:01It is a pleasure to meet you.
00:11:03Hey, where will you spend Christmas, Harry?
00:11:07I have nowhere to go.
00:11:09How sad.
00:11:10Nobody should be alone at Christmas.
00:11:13Right, Papa?
00:11:15It's true.
00:11:16It is.
00:11:17It's sad.
00:11:19You can come with us.
00:11:22There will be many relatives, but I'm sure we can make you a place with the others.
00:11:36The angel did say
00:11:40Was to certain harsh shepherds
00:11:46In fields as they lay
00:11:51In fields where they
00:11:57Lay keeping their sheep
00:12:02On a cold winter's night
00:12:08That was so deep
00:12:13The first Noel
00:12:19The angel did say
00:12:24Was to certain harsh shepherds
00:12:29In fields as they lay
00:12:35Noel, Noel
00:12:41Noel, Noel
00:12:47Born is the King of Israel
00:12:54Merry Christmas!
00:12:55Can you imagine the scene of those shepherds of Bethlehem on the first day of Christmas?
00:13:00The great angel announcing the birth of Jesus
00:13:03And being accompanied by other angels, praising God.
00:13:05Yes, I would come one day with good news.
00:13:08Oh, no.
00:13:11Hi, Mom!
00:13:13Hi!
00:13:14Hi, Mom!
00:13:15How was it?
00:13:16It was beautiful.
00:13:17Yes?
00:13:18Oh, you see, I...
00:13:20I...
00:13:21I had a little accident here...
00:13:22Honey?
00:13:25Oh, he's Harry. I met him at church.
00:13:28Hi.
00:13:30You are Mary Boyce.
00:13:33Yes.
00:13:34It's a pleasure to meet you, Mary Boyce.
00:13:37And, really, he knows how to sing.
00:13:41He comes from another city and didn't have a place to spend Christmas dinner.
00:13:44Yes, so we invited him to have dinner with us.
00:13:46Oh, very good. It's very nice.
00:13:49Listen, kids, why don't you go with Harry and show him...
00:13:53The Christmas tree we decorated?
00:13:55Yes, my love, it's a great idea.
00:13:57Show him the Christmas tree, okay?
00:13:59And, also, take snow with you. It hasn't snowed in a long time.
00:14:02Let's go, Harry. It's a real tree that keeps growing.
00:14:10It's a pleasure to meet you, Mary Boyce.
00:14:14Likewise.
00:14:19What?
00:14:21You know very well that I'm very stressed.
00:14:23And, really, you bring a stranger to our house at the last minute?
00:14:26Look how I'm dressed, James!
00:14:28I thought you'd be ready.
00:14:30You should have called or at least sent a message.
00:14:32I didn't think about it.
00:14:33I'm sorry. What did you want me to do?
00:14:35The man was going to be alone at Christmas.
00:14:37Do you want him to spend the night alone in a hotel while we have dinner?
00:14:41Besides, aren't we supposed to be grateful to others?
00:14:45Do you remember that?
00:14:47Listen, if I get him to sing something to you, you'll be speechless.
00:14:51I mean, the man has a great voice and he gives in to the melody.
00:14:55Oh, well, then I'll wait for a concert later.
00:15:02What a friendly creature.
00:15:06Why did they call him Snow if he's a black dog?
00:15:09Caleb called him that.
00:15:11What could it be? That dog loves snow.
00:15:16It's obvious.
00:15:20What a beautiful Frasier tree.
00:15:23A Frasier tree? What?
00:15:26A Frasier tree. Your tree.
00:15:29It's a Frasier tree, one of the most common trees for Christmas.
00:15:34Also known as the Abeto Fraser.
00:15:36The other is the Pseudozoomensesiae, or called Abeto of Douglas.
00:15:40Our grandfather knew the names of the plants.
00:15:43Yes, your grandfather was a very intelligent man.
00:15:47You knew him?
00:15:53Mom! Dad!
00:15:55Harry knows the names of the plants like Grandpa did and...
00:16:00Your gift.
00:16:02Oh, no.
00:16:04I know, I know. I'm so sorry, guys.
00:16:07This was the accident I told you about when you arrived.
00:16:11I dropped it and I'm so sorry.
00:16:14Don't worry. We'll go to the store and ask for a new one.
00:16:19Or we can fix it.
00:16:21I don't think we can fix it, Harry.
00:16:23We'll go for a new one next week, okay?
00:16:27Very well, kids. The family will be here soon.
00:16:30So why don't you go to your rooms and wear more comfortable clothes.
00:16:35Mom, should we do it?
00:16:38Yes, you should. Go.
00:16:47So, Harry, tell me about your life.
00:16:50You're from another city, right?
00:16:53Yes. I was sent...
00:16:55Oh, I'm sorry. Could you pass me the mustard next to you?
00:17:06So, James told me you're a singer.
00:17:10No, I'm not.
00:17:13Oh, he must have misheard.
00:17:16I sing, but it's not my main...
00:17:20Oh, that must be my mother.
00:17:22Your mother.
00:17:24Yes. Would you mind letting her pass?
00:17:27Could you?
00:17:28Thank you. Oh, and it's maybe a little formal.
00:17:31So, you can call her Mrs. Ross.
00:17:36Mrs. Ross.
00:17:37Yes, that's right. And you are...
00:17:40Hi, Mom. This is Harry. Come in.
00:17:44It's a pleasure to meet you.
00:17:46Your Euphorbia pulcherrima is a very fine plant.
00:17:52Do you need help with your coat?
00:17:54Well, yes, thank you. You're very kind.
00:17:57Not many people know the scientific name of the good night.
00:18:02By any chance, you're not a botanist, are you, Harry?
00:18:05You're Harry, aren't you?
00:18:08Once I saw a huge field of the most beautiful sea lobula
00:18:13that I have ever seen, Mrs. Ross.
00:18:16Oh, you don't need to be formal. Call me Helen.
00:18:20Seriously, you're not a botanist?
00:18:24Merry Christmas.
00:18:31It looks like you saw a ghost. I said, Merry Christmas.
00:18:36Merry Christmas, Mrs. Ross.
00:18:38Merry Christmas, Grandma!
00:18:40Merry Christmas, Lydia and Caleb. Merry Christmas.
00:18:44I brought you a little gift.
00:18:47Oh, how nice!
00:18:48Thank you, Grandma!
00:18:50You're welcome.
00:18:51Merry Christmas.
00:18:52Merry Christmas, dear.
00:18:54How was your trip, Mrs. Ross? Everything okay?
00:18:56Well, I drank more than I thought I would.
00:18:59I did like two laps.
00:19:01I still don't get used to driving alone.
00:19:06What?
00:19:08Oh, dear, don't look at me like that.
00:19:10I miss your father too, even more.
00:19:13But he...
00:19:15Now he's with the Creator.
00:19:18Exactly. Thank you.
00:19:21Harry is absolutely right. He's with the Creator.
00:19:25And before we meet him, life must go on.
00:19:30Well, everything looks good.
00:19:36Thank you, Mom. Thank you, Mrs. Ross.
00:19:39Oh, likewise. You look great.
00:19:42At least it's the answer I was expecting.
00:19:45What's wrong with this family today?
00:19:50Well, in that case, it looks like the food is taking shape.
00:19:55Yes.
00:19:56Uh-huh. Yes.
00:19:57Well, if you'll excuse me, Harry and I are going to look at the Christmas tree
00:20:03that my grandchildren decorated in the yard and that everyone is talking about.
00:20:08Yes, Grandpa is Fraseri.
00:20:10Exactly.
00:20:12Come on, kids, show me your masterpiece.
00:20:14Go.
00:20:17Oh, let me know when Martha and Peter arrive, okay?
00:20:21Of course, I will.
00:20:22Yes.
00:20:24Okay.
00:20:25Yes.
00:20:26What was all that?
00:20:27I have no idea.
00:20:29Call me Helen?
00:20:31You've been her son-in-law for 15 years and you still call her Mrs. Ross.
00:20:34Yes, I know.
00:20:35Who could he be?
00:20:36I told you, he's not from the city. He came for business.
00:20:40So, does he know how to sing and plant?
00:20:43Both.
00:20:45He's charming, obviously. I mean, what was that?
00:20:48I mean, it's very strange.
00:20:50Oh, it must be Martha. I'm going to open it. Can you do this?
00:20:52Yes, of course.
00:20:56Hello.
00:20:57Hello, hello.
00:20:58Merry Christmas.
00:20:59Come in.
00:21:00Here you are.
00:21:02Wow, Martha, it's beautiful.
00:21:04I made it myself to match my tree. I mean, your tree.
00:21:07Of course, without a doubt. You are my favorite interior designer.
00:21:11Thank you, Pero.
00:21:12Of course.
00:21:13Bill, I'm glad to see you. You look good.
00:21:15I'm glad to see you.
00:21:20Thank you very much. I didn't expect less from you.
00:21:23You know something? I wouldn't have expected anything less.
00:21:26So, how have you been?
00:21:28You know, I'm sorry. I'm very busy.
00:21:30You don't answer the messages.
00:21:31And where is that Christmas explosion that always covers the boys' house?
00:21:35I barely know how to get there.
00:21:36I know. Actually, I haven't had time to do the decorations.
00:21:39So, I thought we could do it today.
00:21:42No? All together.
00:21:43Make a new tradition.
00:21:45Do you close the door?
00:21:47Of course.
00:21:52What are these boxes?
00:21:54Hello.
00:21:55Merry Christmas.
00:21:56Merry Christmas. Welcome.
00:21:58It smells delicious.
00:21:59This is for you.
00:22:00And where is Mom?
00:22:01She's outside.
00:22:02Yes, she's in the yard with Harry and the kids.
00:22:04Harry?
00:22:05Look, it looks good.
00:22:06Oh, yes. It's someone from the church.
00:22:08I didn't have anywhere to spend Christmas.
00:22:11I was just going to try them on.
00:22:12No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:22:13Go, go, go get Yoshi.
00:22:14He must be with the kids.
00:22:15Say hi to my mom and meet this guest we have.
00:22:19Harry.
00:22:20So, Harry is a friend of the church?
00:22:23No, he's not.
00:22:24I met him today, but he has a voice like Pavarotti's.
00:22:27It's incredible.
00:22:28Really?
00:22:29Yes.
00:22:30That good?
00:22:31I don't know.
00:22:33Did you hear him?
00:22:34No, no.
00:22:35No, he wasn't there.
00:22:37You didn't go to church?
00:22:39Someone must have everything ready for dinner.
00:22:41Honey, that goes in the oven.
00:22:42Can you help me with this?
00:22:43Yes, I'll take this.
00:22:46You know what? I'll take care of it, James.
00:22:48Can you check to see if Bill gave the chocolates to my mom?
00:22:51Yes, I see he did.
00:22:52Yes, would you do it for me?
00:22:54Please?
00:22:55Of course.
00:22:56Thank you, James.
00:22:59Very good.
00:23:03This goes like this.
00:23:05Good.
00:23:07I'm busy.
00:23:08Yes, and I came to help you.
00:23:10But not until you're honest.
00:23:12What's going on?
00:23:13You don't miss church.
00:23:14It was only once, okay?
00:23:16It's okay.
00:23:17Yes, but you also forget to answer my calls.
00:23:21You never missed my dinners and you didn't forget to eat with mom.
00:23:25Sometimes plans change.
00:23:27Okay?
00:23:28It's okay.
00:23:30Hey, I'm the one you're talking to.
00:23:32You know that?
00:23:34Marta, your sister, your best friend for the last thirty-something years.
00:23:39I'm not naïve.
00:23:40What's going on?
00:23:41I told you, nothing's going on.
00:23:43Okay?
00:23:46I know you're fascinated by chocolate,
00:23:48and I can assure you, Mrs. Rose, that they're the best in the world.
00:23:51The finest in Belgium.
00:23:53Well, Marta wanted to know if you gave her the chocolates.
00:23:57And so it was.
00:24:00I was just telling her that they're the best in Belgium.
00:24:03Bill, I appreciate these details,
00:24:06but you don't know Belgian chocolates.
00:24:10In fact,
00:24:12these are from Turkey.
00:24:17But the box says they're from Belgium.
00:24:19Well, maybe.
00:24:20But this brand was bought years ago by a corporation in the Middle East.
00:24:25Turkey, if I remember correctly.
00:24:27And besides, No House is the best Belgian chocolate, Bill.
00:24:32No House, not this.
00:24:36Well, the intention is what counts.
00:24:39Yes, that's right.
00:24:42And I'm going to eat them.
00:24:45So, between Lydia's exams, the science fairs,
00:24:51Caleb's hockey, the band rehearsals,
00:24:54and the shopping, they've been...
00:24:58too overwhelming.
00:25:02Seriously.
00:25:06What I mean is that...
00:25:08with Dad's birthday and all that...
00:25:12Yes.
00:25:13It's not easy. Mom has also struggled.
00:25:15Yes.
00:25:17Besides, Petey will come today, and you know that upsets me.
00:25:21Be nice, please.
00:25:23I'm sorry, it's just that...
00:25:25he's still living with Mom.
00:25:27I must be frank, Lydia is more mature than him.
00:25:31Well, he's our brother, and we love him.
00:25:34So, on this special day,
00:25:38we're going to expand the grace.
00:25:40I'll try.
00:25:42He has a new girlfriend, did you know?
00:25:44What? Another one?
00:25:46Yes, I think her name is Gabi... I hope so.
00:25:49Do you know her?
00:25:50She'll come today.
00:25:52She'll come? See? She didn't tell me.
00:25:56Don't worry, we'll just put another chair.
00:25:58Okay.
00:25:59Good. And she told me she's not like the others.
00:26:02Oh, she can read!
00:26:04What? It was a joke!
00:26:06Isn't it funny?
00:26:07No, come on, it was the last one.
00:26:09Be nice.
00:26:11And once Uncle Petey arrives, we'll go to the field.
00:26:15He's very good.
00:26:17He's Petey the Fast, that's what they called him in high school.
00:26:20He was the best open receiver.
00:26:23What about you? What position do you play?
00:26:29We're here.
00:26:30We're here.
00:26:32Did you bring all the gifts?
00:26:33Yes.
00:26:34Very good. So Mrs. Rose is your mother.
00:26:36Mary and Martha are your sisters, like in the Bible.
00:26:39Yes.
00:26:40I hope they like it.
00:26:42Oh, of course. Maybe they like it more than I do.
00:26:46It's Mary's house, right?
00:26:49And is it with her that you're not taking?
00:26:51You'll see.
00:26:52You'll see.
00:26:56So, what are we going to do on the first Sunday of the new year?
00:27:02I don't want to miss our brunch.
00:27:05I know, I'm sorry.
00:27:08Things have been a little difficult at the end of the year.
00:27:13Is that all?
00:27:16Yes, I've been busy.
00:27:22It must be Peter.
00:27:23And his girlfriend.
00:27:25The last one to arrive.
00:27:27Typical.
00:27:33You're late, Petey.
00:27:35Merry Christmas to you too, sister.
00:27:37Come in.
00:27:38Hello, little brother.
00:27:40Merry Christmas.
00:27:41Merry Christmas.
00:27:43Welcome.
00:27:44She's Gabby. Gabby, my sisters. Mary, the lady of the house.
00:27:47And she's Martha.
00:27:48Hello.
00:27:49Hello, we finally meet. These are for you.
00:27:51Oh, my God.
00:27:52You didn't have to bother. Thank you.
00:27:54Peter has told me a lot about you.
00:27:56And it was very considerate of him to let me spend Christmas dinner with his family.
00:28:00Oh, it's a pleasure.
00:28:02We are happy to have you.
00:28:05Come on, it's very cold.
00:28:07It's very nice.
00:28:13Mom.
00:28:15She is Gabriela Fuentes.
00:28:17Merry Christmas, Mrs. Ross.
00:28:18And please call me Gabby.
00:28:20It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Gabby.
00:28:22And thank you very much. It's very kind of you.
00:28:27Merry Christmas, Mom.
00:28:28Merry Christmas to both of you.
00:28:30And the boys?
00:28:31They're all in the yard.
00:28:33Gabby, let's say hello.
00:28:34Of course.
00:28:35Let's go.
00:28:38It was nice of him to bring us along.
00:28:40Of course.
00:28:41Okay.
00:28:42You put four fingers here.
00:28:43You align them to the cords.
00:28:45You put it in your ear.
00:28:46You go back.
00:28:47And then...
00:28:50Uncle Pete!
00:28:51Hi, Lydia.
00:28:52Guys, Gabby, my niece Lydia, and my nephews Caleb and Josh.
00:28:56Nice to meet you, Gabby.
00:28:57Merry Christmas.
00:28:58Merry Christmas.
00:28:59And these are from me.
00:29:05And?
00:29:06Maybe I'll let you drive later.
00:29:08Your car?
00:29:09I'll drive?
00:29:11Yes, you speak English with Gabby.
00:29:13She practices at school and told her how smart you are.
00:29:17Now?
00:29:18Yes, of course.
00:29:19Show your talent.
00:29:20Not in front of everyone.
00:29:22Don't embarrass her.
00:29:23Maybe later, Lydia.
00:29:24Whatever.
00:29:26Hi, guys.
00:29:27Hi, Pete.
00:29:29Hi, I'm Jens.
00:29:30Merry Christmas.
00:29:31Hi, I'm Gabby.
00:29:32Hi.
00:29:33She's Gabby.
00:29:34Hi.
00:29:35Hi.
00:29:36Nice to meet you.
00:29:37Your name must be Gabriela.
00:29:38Yes, sir.
00:29:39It was my grandmother's name.
00:29:40Such a beautiful name.
00:29:42It comes from Gabriel, the angel of the Annunciation.
00:29:46And it means, God is great.
00:29:50In the Bible, Gabriel told the Virgin Mary that she will be pregnant.
00:29:54Indeed.
00:29:55The Mighty One sent Gabriel to announce the coming birth of Jesus, the Savior.
00:30:03The nativity that believers around the world and all heaven celebrate today.
00:30:08My regards, Peter.
00:30:10Wow.
00:30:11You speak very well.
00:30:13Yes, he's a good English speaker.
00:30:16And you are?
00:30:17Oh, he's Harry.
00:30:18I met him at church.
00:30:19He comes for business.
00:30:21And he sings very well.
00:30:23And he knows a lot about plants, too.
00:30:25But he hasn't played football.
00:30:27Really?
00:30:29Hey, guys.
00:30:30Come inside.
00:30:31We're going to decorate the house.
00:30:33Oh, Mom, not now.
00:30:36And we're going to play football.
00:30:38It's our Christmas tournament.
00:30:39Very good.
00:30:40Listen.
00:30:41First we decorate the house, and then they play football.
00:30:44It's a joke, right?
00:30:45Oh.
00:30:46I'll take care of it.
00:30:47Hey, Pee Dee.
00:30:49Do this, and I'll let you and Gabby hang the dead man.
00:30:52Good, friend.
00:30:53You heard your mother.
00:30:54First we decorate the house, and then we play football.
00:31:03Very good.
00:31:04Oh, this goes here.
00:31:06Oh, how nice.
00:31:08Perfect.
00:31:10Deck the halls with boughs of holly.
00:31:14Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
00:31:18Tis the season to be jolly.
00:31:21Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
00:31:25Don we now our gay apparel.
00:31:29Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
00:31:32Troll the ancient yuletide carol.
00:31:36Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
00:31:54See the plays in you before us.
00:31:58Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
00:32:02Strike the harp and join the chorus.
00:32:05Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
00:32:09Follow me in merry measure.
00:32:12Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
00:32:16While I tell the tales I've heard.
00:32:20Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
00:32:32Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
00:32:38Now let us celebrate our annual Christmas meal.
00:32:41In other words, while we work, you are strolling.
00:32:44Strolling? It's football, not a stroll.
00:32:46Yes, of course, whatever you say.
00:32:48Understand, Mary.
00:32:50We are a good bond.
00:32:52It's a man's thing.
00:32:53How childish, Peter.
00:32:54You'll be playing when there are things to do.
00:32:57What he says is that this is one thing for men.
00:33:00Do you want the rest for the pie?
00:33:03Mature.
00:33:04You're over 30.
00:33:06Calm down, Mary.
00:33:07Not on Christmas Day.
00:33:09Peter, goodbye.
00:33:12Hey, be nice to Gabby while we're gone.
00:33:14I told her you were sweet.
00:33:15Let's go.
00:33:19Is everything okay?
00:33:20Yes.
00:33:21Okay.
00:33:22Go to the trash.
00:33:23Yes, thank you.
00:33:24How disgusting.
00:33:31This brings back a lot of memories.
00:33:34So you still play?
00:33:36I used to.
00:33:37I broke records.
00:33:38A professional.
00:33:40Four seasons of glory.
00:33:42The best years of my life.
00:33:43That was a long time ago, Petey.
00:33:44Here's Harry.
00:33:45You can still do it, right?
00:33:48Of course.
00:33:49I'm the fastest on the field.
00:33:51I'll show you how it's done.
00:33:57Are you sure you can throw after a lesson?
00:33:59How much?
00:34:01As much as you can.
00:34:02I'll catch him.
00:34:03The fastest man, remember?
00:34:04Well, maybe you should do some warm-up.
00:34:07Please.
00:34:08We're still young for that, right guys?
00:34:10Yes, dad.
00:34:11Okay, whatever.
00:34:12Remember, you have to hold the ball like this.
00:34:14Fingers on the strings.
00:34:15You go back and throw it.
00:34:17And now it's my turn.
00:34:19After this, it'll be us against three old men, okay?
00:34:22Yeah, sure, Uncle Petey.
00:34:24Josh, come with me.
00:34:26Caleb, go back ten yards.
00:34:27I'll do a post play.
00:34:29Isn't that a lot of yards?
00:34:30Yeah, it's a lot.
00:34:31Maybe I can't throw it that far.
00:34:32Let's go.
00:34:35Let's see what you got, Harry.
00:34:36Okay, so Harry, when you're ready, just yell,
00:34:38Hike, and Bill will...
00:34:41Bill, are you okay?
00:34:46Hey, relax.
00:34:47Just throw it when Caleb gets there.
00:34:52No, not the car.
00:34:54Not my car.
00:34:55No, please, not the car.
00:35:00Oh, please!
00:35:02What happened?
00:35:03Nothing, relax, relax.
00:35:06I want to be on your team.
00:35:07Me too!
00:35:10Okay, ladies.
00:35:11A quick break.
00:35:12Cream and sugar, Gaby?
00:35:13No, thank you.
00:35:14I'll have black.
00:35:16Did you bring your family, Gaby?
00:35:18No, I had planned to be here.
00:35:21Oh, well, this is the first time for us.
00:35:24Excuse me?
00:35:25This is the first Christmas for the girls and Peter without his father.
00:35:28My husband died last Christmas.
00:35:32Peter told me.
00:35:33I'm sorry.
00:35:34Thank you very much.
00:35:36It's been difficult for us, especially today.
00:35:40Yes.
00:35:41Yes.
00:35:42Christmas has always been a special time for us.
00:35:45Oh, Mom, please.
00:35:46I'm sorry.
00:35:47Can we not talk about this now?
00:35:49Mary, please.
00:35:50Excuse me?
00:35:51If you want to talk about Dad, do it now.
00:35:54I just don't want to relive it, okay?
00:35:57I'm sure Gaby doesn't want to see a family argument.
00:36:02Don't worry, Mrs. Ross.
00:36:04I'm happy to spend Christmas with you.
00:36:08My parents died when I was a girl, so I never had one.
00:36:14I'm sorry.
00:36:15We are so happy to have you.
00:36:19Oh, my God.
00:36:21And from what I see, you have become a good influence for Peter.
00:36:28Oh, he's already moved.
00:36:31Lately he has become more responsible, more humble.
00:36:36Maybe the Lord is working with Peter thanks to you and other people.
00:36:43I have prayed a lot for that to happen.
00:36:48Peter is an atheist and a little arrogant.
00:36:53Agnostic and superstitious, not arrogant.
00:36:58This is mine, I'll take care of it.
00:37:02But I trust that the Lord will transform him and open his vision to him.
00:37:08He is also irresponsible, lazy.
00:37:12Don't worry, please.
00:37:14You're talking about your brother.
00:37:17What I'm saying is, think only about him.
00:37:21I'm sorry, Gaby.
00:37:25Peter helped me when my car tire punctured.
00:37:29That's how we met.
00:37:31I was lost in the city.
00:37:33It was very dark.
00:37:35He stopped and helped me change the tire.
00:37:38Peter?
00:37:39That's when he asked me if I wanted a date.
00:37:41See, that's how Peter sounds.
00:37:43I said yes, but on one condition.
00:37:46He had to come with me to church to make our appointment.
00:37:50And we've been going every week for a month.
00:37:53Is Peter going to church?
00:37:55Every Sunday?
00:37:56For a month?
00:37:58Oh, thank God!
00:38:03You scared me.
00:38:05Me too.
00:38:06I'm scared.
00:38:08It was extreme, Mom.
00:38:09It was divine inspiration.
00:38:11Well, if you say so.
00:38:14We'll put ice on you.
00:38:15Don't tell Marta.
00:38:16She thinks I'm a superstar.
00:38:19Tell her I'm a superstar.
00:38:21The best man in the country.
00:38:24Do it again.
00:38:28Adjust your tongue like this.
00:38:32Very good.
00:38:37Now say butter.
00:38:40Butter.
00:38:41Perfect.
00:38:42Now try carrot.
00:38:45Carrot.
00:38:46Wonderful.
00:38:47Now a difficult one.
00:38:49Ready?
00:38:50Railroad.
00:38:52Railroad.
00:38:54Perfect.
00:38:55You're doing great.
00:38:56Oh, that was great.
00:38:59Wow, Lidia sounds great.
00:39:02How about parrot?
00:39:03Parrot.
00:39:04Perfect.
00:39:05Gabi has the gift of teaching.
00:39:07Oh, it's more than that.
00:39:10She made Peter go to church.
00:39:12She's very good at being true.
00:39:14I think she's the right one.
00:39:16I think she's too good for Petey.
00:39:18Why do you say that about your brother?
00:39:21What?
00:39:22It's true.
00:39:23She has class and Peter lives in your basement.
00:39:26He was promoted to the railway.
00:39:28Now he supervises multiple woods.
00:39:32Good for him.
00:39:34I guess he doesn't give you money for the house, does he?
00:39:37You're going too far.
00:39:39And I don't like it, especially at Christmas.
00:39:47Wow, Mary.
00:39:50I don't know what's wrong with you.
00:39:53But at least you could be nice.
00:39:56Just a couple of hours.
00:40:05I'm sorry to have bothered you.
00:40:09I just want you to support your brother a little more.
00:40:19It's from Dad, isn't it?
00:40:22Yes.
00:40:24I'm sorry.
00:40:26I'm sorry.
00:40:28I'm sorry.
00:40:30I'm sorry.
00:40:32It's from Dad, isn't it?
00:40:35Yes.
00:40:37I read it every night at the end of the day.
00:40:42It gave him a lot of peace.
00:40:45Well, both of them.
00:40:51I wish I could have it with me today.
00:41:03I miss him too.
00:41:11Have you ever been...
00:41:15angry?
00:41:18No.
00:41:21Sad, alone.
00:41:25But not angry.
00:41:28It's part of life.
00:41:32I don't know, but...
00:41:35I still had a lot to live.
00:41:38We shouldn't question,
00:41:41but accept and trust.
00:41:47Dad used to say that.
00:41:50Yes, he did.
00:41:53He was right.
00:41:57Your father's time had come.
00:42:02I'm always grateful for those wonderful years
00:42:06that God gave us.
00:42:08We raised you, Marta and Peter,
00:42:11and we were blessed with three beautiful grandchildren.
00:42:17And tell me,
00:42:20are you angry with God?
00:42:24Are you angry with God?
00:42:30Very well.
00:42:31Careful.
00:42:32Joshua, Caleb, can you close the door?
00:42:35Yes, Mom.
00:42:36Calm down.
00:42:37Don't rush.
00:42:38Calm down.
00:42:39What are you doing?
00:42:40Excuse me, ladies.
00:42:41We'll need that sofa.
00:42:43She was the star of the field.
00:42:44Very well.
00:42:45What do you think?
00:42:46Sitting or lying down?
00:42:47Lying down.
00:42:48What happened?
00:42:49I'm going to sit down.
00:42:50I'm fine.
00:42:51I'm fine.
00:42:53It hurts.
00:42:54I told you.
00:42:55He hurt his back.
00:42:58Come on.
00:43:01What are you doing?
00:43:04What are you going to do?
00:43:05What are you doing?
00:43:06No, no, no.
00:43:07Please don't.
00:43:15Honey?
00:43:17It doesn't hurt anymore.
00:43:20You fixed it.
00:43:24Buddy, you're a complete team in one man.
00:43:27First me, then Pity.
00:43:29And now you're healing me.
00:43:32Dad, you hurt yourself before you got the ball out.
00:43:35Harry didn't even touch you.
00:43:36You should have warmed up before.
00:43:38You didn't?
00:43:39Well, I...
00:43:40You're not a kid.
00:43:41What's wrong with you?
00:43:42Very well.
00:43:43What do you think about this?
00:43:44If you're not helping in the kitchen,
00:43:45why don't you go upstairs and clean up, please?
00:43:47Let's go.
00:43:49Come on, superstars.
00:43:51Those races are waiting.
00:43:52Move it.
00:43:56Very well, Pity.
00:43:57Do your honors.
00:43:58Put that there and turn it on.
00:44:01Good.
00:44:20It doesn't turn on.
00:44:23That's strange.
00:44:24They always turn on.
00:44:25Yeah, but not now.
00:44:26It's wet.
00:44:28Can I?
00:44:30Of course.
00:44:31Try it.
00:44:35Maybe it'll work now.
00:44:39You sing well.
00:44:41You know how to plant.
00:44:43You're a good singer.
00:44:46You sing well.
00:44:48You know how to plant.
00:44:50You're a NFL player.
00:44:52You're a healer.
00:44:53And last but not least,
00:44:55the flame master.
00:44:59Whatever.
00:45:09Well done, Pity.
00:45:11Well done.
00:45:14Much better.
00:45:16Isn't it?
00:45:17What did your parents think about the gift, Lydia?
00:45:20It didn't turn out very well.
00:45:22I know.
00:45:23We'll fix it, honey.
00:45:25I dropped it.
00:45:27I'm sorry, dear.
00:45:29Dad said he'd fix it.
00:45:30How curious.
00:45:31That's what Pastor Steve said this morning
00:45:33about how we were restored
00:45:35because of the birth of Jesus.
00:45:37What did they talk about in your church, Mary?
00:45:40Lydia, tell Grandma.
00:45:42Why, Lydia?
00:45:43Because Mom's not going to church anymore.
00:45:48I'm sorry.
00:45:49I'll go see if everyone's okay.
00:45:54Is that true?
00:45:56Things have been tough around here,
00:45:59so I've been away a couple of times.
00:46:01You said it was only today.
00:46:03Well, we're dealing with some personal matters.
00:46:05Is everything okay between you and James?
00:46:07Mom, I said it's personal.
00:46:09Yes, but we're your family.
00:46:11Listen.
00:46:13I don't want any more questions.
00:46:15Okay?
00:46:16Can we just make dinner?
00:46:18Can we?
00:46:25One side.
00:46:26Snow.
00:46:29That's right.
00:46:31Snow.
00:46:34Hit it or I'll win again.
00:46:40Yes!
00:46:42Not now, brother.
00:46:44Nice shot.
00:46:45Can we play again?
00:46:47Okay, but I'll go to the end.
00:46:50We should invite Harry.
00:46:52Really?
00:46:53He'll probably break the ball when he kicks it.
00:46:56What are you talking about, Caleb?
00:46:58No, it's true.
00:46:59I would.
00:47:00You should see him play on the football field.
00:47:02He's not normal.
00:47:04It's like he has superhuman strength.
00:47:10Really?
00:47:11Right, Josh?
00:47:12I assure you he's not an ordinary guy.
00:47:14Or what about his way of singing in church, Lydia?
00:47:18Dad said he was like Parabotty.
00:47:21Paparotty.
00:47:22Genius.
00:47:23Whatever.
00:47:24I've never heard anyone sing like him.
00:47:28Or what about when he spoke English with Gabby?
00:47:31And he fixed Uncle Bill's back.
00:47:33And the plants.
00:47:34Don't forget the plants.
00:47:36He knows them better than Grandpa.
00:47:38Good, good.
00:47:39I understand.
00:47:40He's talented.
00:47:41And I admit it.
00:47:42I've never seen anyone like him before.
00:47:45You know what I think?
00:47:47I think he's not human.
00:47:49But what could he be?
00:47:50An alien or something?
00:47:53That's what I think.
00:47:55You two are not human.
00:47:57Because no one could come up with such a stupid idea.
00:48:01Go ahead, alien hunter.
00:48:03Shoot him.
00:48:06Tell me, Peter.
00:48:08Do you consider yourself an agnostic?
00:48:11Yes, I guess.
00:48:14But I enjoy going to church with Gabby.
00:48:16The sermons are good.
00:48:18I'm glad to hear that, Petey.
00:48:21I haven't told you to believe it yet.
00:48:23But do you consider it?
00:48:26That's good.
00:48:28Ask and it will be given to you.
00:48:31Seek and you will find.
00:48:34Call and the door will open.
00:48:37The sermon of the mountain.
00:48:39I was going to say that.
00:48:41Seriously.
00:48:42I was going to say it.
00:48:46The Lord is loving and compassionate, Peter.
00:48:50Come to Him.
00:48:52He will embrace you.
00:48:53Let's say He is real, loving, and compassionate, as you say.
00:48:57I've been through very bad times in my life.
00:49:00But weren't you, in turn, the creator of your own problems?
00:49:04You say I caused it?
00:49:08Yes.
00:49:09Well, it's true.
00:49:10It was my fault.
00:49:11But what about Gabby?
00:49:13She lost her parents when she was a girl.
00:49:15Was that her fault?
00:49:17Quite the opposite.
00:49:19It was God's will to take them with Him.
00:49:22I hear you.
00:49:23But I don't understand how that is loving and compassionate.
00:49:26No, we can't see the whole picture.
00:49:28No one can.
00:49:29But James...
00:49:30God can.
00:49:33And He does.
00:49:39Martha and I lived in Seattle.
00:49:43I had just had Josh when I lost my job.
00:49:48There wasn't much work, and the economy was terrible.
00:49:53I didn't find a job for months, and I was scared.
00:50:02Very scared.
00:50:05But out of the blue, I got a job offer.
00:50:09Here, close to everyone and the family.
00:50:13I mean, out of the blue.
00:50:17And it turned out to be the best job I've ever had, and I'm still there after 10 years.
00:50:22Have you ever been scared like that, James?
00:50:26Uh-huh.
00:50:28Any doubts?
00:50:30Yes.
00:50:31Yes.
00:50:32Many times.
00:50:35I think that lately, for me,
00:50:39at least if the same thing happened to me as it did to Bill or Gabby with her parents,
00:50:45well, I don't know if I trust God or not.
00:50:50And you?
00:50:53The Lord is my shepherd, and I will not lack anything.
00:50:58He makes me lie down in green pastures.
00:51:00In green pastures?
00:51:02He leads me by the waters of rest.
00:51:04He restores my soul,
00:51:07and guides me on the ways of justice in His name.
00:51:11The King David, whom God considered a man according to his heart,
00:51:16despite fears, doubts, and failures.
00:51:31O holy night!
00:51:35The stars are brightly shining.
00:51:40It is the night of our dear Savior's birth.
00:51:49Long lay the world in sin and error pining
00:51:58till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
00:52:07A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
00:52:15for yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
00:52:23Fall on your knees.
00:52:31O hear the angel voices.
00:52:39O night divine.
00:52:46O night when Christ was born.
00:52:54O night divine.
00:52:58Bill, could you take this to the table, please?
00:53:00Yes.
00:53:02And the glasses.
00:53:03Let me help you, Mary.
00:53:06And the cutlery.
00:53:07They should go to the table.
00:53:08Thank you, Gabby.
00:53:09Thank you, guys.
00:53:10Very good.
00:53:11Where is Petey?
00:53:12I don't know.
00:53:13He should help me.
00:53:14He must be outside.
00:53:16I imagine so, I suppose.
00:53:19Wow, how kind of you to join us, Pete.
00:53:21Hello.
00:53:22Your guest, Gabby, is helping the others.
00:53:25Everyone except you, as always.
00:53:27Mary, please.
00:53:29Yes.
00:53:30Could you pretend to be kind?
00:53:32Pretend?
00:53:33I'm sorry.
00:53:34I thought I was in your apartment,
00:53:35since you only go to church with Gabby
00:53:37to do what you already know.
00:53:39It's none of your business.
00:53:40Oh, from what I see,
00:53:41he'll end up seeing who you are
00:53:43and act like everyone else.
00:53:44Mary, please.
00:53:45That wasn't right.
00:53:46No, no, no.
00:53:47It's fine.
00:53:48Go, Mary.
00:53:49What a Christian you are.
00:53:50I'm sorry.
00:53:51The atheist is questioning my faith?
00:53:52Yes, that's right.
00:53:53Why don't you show the love and grace
00:53:55that our pastors are always talking about?
00:53:57We're going to enjoy this day calmly, okay?
00:53:59You're not the only one who's sad because Dad died.
00:54:02Look at Mom.
00:54:04You don't have the right to be cruel.
00:54:06I love you, Mary.
00:54:07But it hasn't been...
00:54:08It hasn't been you these last few months.
00:54:10Okay, enough.
00:54:11You know what?
00:54:12I'm going through a lot of pressure
00:54:14and I'm dealing with really stressful things.
00:54:16We all suffer from stress and pressure.
00:54:17Not like this.
00:54:18Stop acting like the victim.
00:54:19You know what?
00:54:20Enough.
00:54:21Oh, no.
00:54:22Poor Mary.
00:54:23My life is difficult.
00:54:24That's why I'm cruel.
00:54:25You know what?
00:54:26This conversation is over.
00:54:28You don't admit the truth.
00:54:30You can't.
00:54:32You're just...
00:54:34You're not salt and light.
00:54:35You're vinegar and darkness.
00:54:36You're the truth.
00:54:37Yes, tell us.
00:54:38You're the truth.
00:54:39Yes.
00:54:40James is dying.
00:54:41What?
00:54:42No.
00:54:43What?
00:54:52Good morning, sir and Mrs. Boyce.
00:54:55Thank you for coming.
00:54:56Good morning.
00:54:57Hello.
00:54:58I want you to know that I must be frank
00:55:00so that my patients have a clearer picture of the situation.
00:55:05Unfortunately, the news is not very good.
00:55:10The results of your tests
00:55:12indicate that the disease has advanced despite the treatment.
00:55:18Okay.
00:55:21Now,
00:55:22unless you accept the experimental treatment,
00:55:24which is unlikely,
00:55:27the only option left
00:55:29is palliative care and controlled medication.
00:55:31Excuse me, what are you saying?
00:55:33Hey, Mary.
00:55:35Let her talk.
00:55:36Oh, well, although each case is different.
00:55:40With your results, Mr. Boyce,
00:55:42most patients do not live more than 18 months.
00:55:48I understand.
00:55:50No!
00:55:51I understand.
00:55:53I'm sorry.
00:55:55No!
00:56:05The doctor gave us 18 months.
00:56:11I don't know if he'll be here next Christmas and I ...
00:56:14Mary, I'm sorry.
00:56:16You feel it?
00:56:17Yes.
00:56:18I think it's quite the opposite.
00:56:19Hey, leave him like that.
00:56:20No! No!
00:56:22I'm going to be a widow!
00:56:24I'm going to be a widow with three children!
00:56:27Do you know how I feel?
00:56:29Do you know?
00:56:31Three?
00:56:40I'm pregnant.
00:56:41I'm pregnant.
00:56:46And ...
00:56:48Our son may not get to meet his father.
00:56:51Okay? So ...
00:56:53Please forgive me if everything has been less sweet in the last few days.
00:57:02Mom! Mom, wait!
00:57:04Bravo! Well done, Peter.
00:57:07Marta, I'm sorry.
00:57:11I'm sorry.
00:57:28Why didn't you tell me?
00:57:31I'm sorry.
00:57:35Leave me alone.
00:57:37It's incredible.
00:57:38Just give me a minute.
00:57:39No! No!
00:57:40One more minute.
00:57:42I'm sick of this.
00:57:43To see how you lock yourself in your shell.
00:57:45I can't stand it.
00:57:47And it's selfish.
00:57:49Do you know that?
00:57:51Do you think you're the only one who's afraid here?
00:57:57Go back to what you believe.
00:57:59Go back to your family.
00:58:00Okay?
00:58:01We're all waiting for you.
00:58:11Mary.
00:58:13Oh, my God.
00:58:15Oh, you scared me.
00:58:17Don't be afraid.
00:58:19Where did you come from?
00:58:22From the heights.
00:58:24What?
00:58:26I'm sorry.
00:58:27This is not a good time.
00:58:28Yes?
00:58:29I must be alone.
00:58:30Do you understand?
00:58:31Mary, they sent me to give you strength.
00:58:35In your time of doubt.
00:58:38What?
00:58:40And then.
00:58:42He said a moment ago.
00:58:43You were putting my table.
00:58:45And now you're.
00:58:47You're a counselor.
00:58:50Your request.
00:58:52What you said in the morning.
00:58:57Yes.
00:58:58I would be fine one day with good news.
00:59:01Okay.
00:59:02So.
00:59:04You came to give me.
00:59:06Good news.
00:59:08Is James going to be healed?
00:59:11I do not know that.
00:59:14Only God knows destiny.
00:59:21Mary.
00:59:25Do not lose hope.
00:59:29Hope.
00:59:32One where I do not have my husband.
00:59:37Some children without a father.
00:59:41What hope is there in that?
00:59:43The Almighty is faithful.
00:59:47And his love is eternal.
00:59:50Remember what he did.
00:59:52This day, long ago, when he sent the Savior to rescue the man from the dominion of darkness.
01:00:00And take him to the kingdom of that same Son whom he loves.
01:00:05In whom all who believe in him obtain redemption.
01:00:09The forgiveness of sins.
01:00:12I know.
01:00:16But that was in the past.
01:00:19And the future is good.
01:00:23Neither you nor I know what the future holds.
01:00:28But we know who knows the future.
01:00:31I know, but.
01:00:32Trust him.
01:00:35With all your being.
01:00:38Do not trust your own understanding.
01:00:42Mary.
01:00:51Mary.
01:00:52Honey.
01:00:53Mary.
01:00:54Oh, God.
01:00:55Oh, Mary.
01:00:56I wanted to tell you how much I love you.
01:00:57Oh, please, sister.
01:00:59We love you so much.
01:01:00We love you.
01:01:01We love you very much.
01:01:02I do not know.
01:01:03I stay in every decision you make.
01:01:05We'll be praying for James and the kids.
01:01:07True?
01:01:08Yes, anything you need.
01:01:10Whatever it is, here we are.
01:01:12I know.
01:01:13I'm sorry girls.
01:01:14I regret all this.
01:01:15I should have told you a long time ago.
01:01:17No.
01:01:18You should not let time go by to speak like this, dear.
01:01:21Yes, I know.
01:01:22I know, but I just wanted to get away and, and I ended up being so horrible.
01:01:27I'm sorry.
01:01:28Right.
01:01:29It's okay.
01:01:30Calm down.
01:01:31It's in the past, okay?
01:01:33Not yet.
01:01:38I swear I had no idea.
01:01:41Really? You knew?
01:01:43I can't imagine how you must feel.
01:01:45Okay. Are you okay?
01:01:48I love you.
01:01:50Now go, for your mother's sake, and bring her here.
01:01:53If not, we'll end this day with a big burnt ham.
01:01:58Okay? Go.
01:02:02Oh, my God, my babies.
01:02:05I love you so much, guys.
01:02:08I love you, Mom.
01:02:09I love you, too.
01:02:11Oh, listen, kids, I'm really sorry.
01:02:14I've been bad today.
01:02:17I should have told you about your next brother.
01:02:21Or sister, I don't know.
01:02:24We'll be okay, right?
01:02:26We'll be okay, right?
01:02:28We'll be okay, right?
01:02:30Come here, you two.
01:02:32I love you so much.
01:02:34Very good.
01:02:37Mary, I want you to know that I...
01:02:39No, Peter, please, don't insist, okay?
01:02:44I'm sorry for how I've treated you.
01:02:48Yes, and you're right.
01:02:52There's no excuse.
01:02:57And I just want to start over.
01:03:01You know?
01:03:02No more of this poison and criticism between you two.
01:03:07You're my little brother.
01:03:09And I love you.
01:03:13And I'm glad you're finally going to church.
01:03:15Really.
01:03:17Thank you, sister.
01:03:18Thank God.
01:03:19And Gabi.
01:03:21Well, that's true.
01:03:24I'm very sorry.
01:03:27And you.
01:03:28Hi.
01:03:31I should have been terrible to you
01:03:35during these last two months.
01:03:38I know, and I wasn't a good wife to you,
01:03:41and I wasn't a good mother to our children.
01:03:43Hey, calm down.
01:03:45You're the best wife a man could ask for.
01:03:49And a great mother to our three children,
01:03:54which is wow.
01:03:56Yes.
01:03:57I love it.
01:03:59Crazy and exciting.
01:04:01Yes.
01:04:02And yes.
01:04:04Yes, what?
01:04:06I forgive you for being terrible these last few months.
01:04:12I love you.
01:04:13I love you.
01:04:16Who could it be?
01:04:20No idea.
01:04:29Hey, it's Villancicos! Come!
01:04:32Born a king on Bethlehem's plain,
01:04:36Gold I bring to crown him again,
01:04:41King forever, ceasing never,
01:04:45Over us all to reign.
01:04:49Oh, star of wonder, star of night,
01:04:55Star with royal beauty bright,
01:04:59Westward leading, still proceeding,
01:05:04Guide us to thy perfect light.
01:05:22Joy to the world, the Lord is come,
01:05:27Let earth receive her King,
01:05:32Let every heart prepare Him room,
01:05:37And heaven and nature sing,
01:05:40And heaven and nature sing,
01:05:43And heaven, and heaven, and nature sing.
01:05:50Beautiful. Really excellent.
01:05:52Fantastic.
01:05:53Merry Christmas.
01:05:56Merry Christmas.
01:05:58Your father loved the Villancicos.
01:06:01I know.
01:06:03If only he had sung...
01:06:07Oh, in heaven, glory to God.
01:06:09What?
01:06:10That was your father's favorite song.
01:06:13Father!
01:06:30We love that song.
01:06:33We love that song.
01:06:43Hark! The herald angels sing
01:06:47Glory to the newborn King
01:06:52Peace on earth and mercy mild
01:06:58Joyful, all ye nations, rise
01:07:03Join the triumph of the skies
01:07:08With angelic hosts proclaim
01:07:12Christ is born in Bethlehem
01:07:17Hark! The herald angels sing
01:07:22Glory to the newborn King
01:07:27Christ by highest heaven adored
01:07:32Christ the everlasting Lord
01:07:37Late in time behold Him come
01:07:41Offspring of the Virgin's womb
01:07:46Veiled in flesh the Godhead see
01:07:51Hail the incarnate Deity
01:07:56Pleased as men with men to dwell
01:08:00Jesus our Emmanuel
01:08:05Hark! The herald angels sing
01:08:10Glory to the newborn King
01:08:15Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace
01:08:20Hail the Son of Righteousness

01:08:29Risen with healing in His wings
01:08:34Mild He lay His glory by
01:08:38Born that man no more may die
01:08:43Born to raise the sons of earth
01:08:47Born to give them second birth
01:08:52Hark! The herald angels sing
01:08:57Glory to the newborn King
01:09:18Was that your favorite villain?
01:09:21Mine too.
01:09:23It captures very well the spirit of the First Nativity.
01:09:28The joy of all the witnesses of the coming of Jesus Christ.
01:09:34It was a great show.
01:09:37A great joy overflows in you, Harry.
01:09:41It's as if I had been there.
01:09:46The Nativity marked a before and an after.
01:09:53The star shone intensely over Bethlehem, the city of David,
01:10:00marking the place of the miraculous birth with the Virgin.
01:10:05And although everyone saw it,
01:10:08its destiny had not yet been revealed or uncertain.
01:10:15So the Nativity was unknown to the inhabitants.
01:10:20But the great Lord sent one of his messengers to give him the good news.
01:10:26It was so bright the glory reflected of the Almighty
01:10:30that it terrified the shepherds who were nearby.
01:10:34However, the angel of the Lord gave words of comfort to calm them.
01:10:40Do not be afraid, for today I bring you good news of great joy for all the people.
01:10:48For this day among you has been born in the city of David a Savior,
01:10:53who is Christ the Lord.
01:10:56And this will be my sign for you.
01:10:58You will find a child wrapped in diapers, lying in a manger.
01:11:04And suddenly a multitude of heavenly hosts joined him
01:11:08and praised God, saying, Glory in the heavens and peace on earth
01:11:15to the men of good will.
01:11:18When the angels returned to heaven,
01:11:22the shepherds ran to Bethlehem to see what had happened.
01:11:28And those shepherds, chosen by God,
01:11:33were the first witness of the gift of salvation
01:11:37when they found the child in a manger, with Mary and Joseph by his side.
01:11:45The shepherds returned to the field,
01:11:48praising God for what they had heard and seen.
01:11:53They told others what they saw with that child,
01:11:57whose name was Jesus,
01:12:00just as the angel Gabriel told Mary
01:12:04before the child was born.
01:12:13It was the most beautiful narration of the birth of Jesus
01:12:19It was the most beautiful narration of the birth of Jesus
01:12:23that I have ever heard.
01:12:25Even more beautiful than your singing, Harry.
01:12:30Oh, it's dinner time.
01:12:33Yes, it's dinner time.
01:12:35Yes.
01:12:38I'm excited.
01:12:42And with you, Mom and her fabulous Christmas ham.
01:12:48Fabulous?
01:12:49Do you know what that means?
01:12:51Yes, very good.
01:12:54Or is that how you say it, Dad?
01:12:57That's right.
01:12:58That's right.
01:12:59You're very right, son.
01:13:00Very good.
01:13:01Thank you, son.
01:13:02And I wanted to thank each and every one of you.
01:13:10The truth is that I was very scared.
01:13:15Because with what happened to Dad last year
01:13:20and James' diagnosis,
01:13:24I just wanted them to leave me alone and that everything would be fine.
01:13:31But now I'm so happy that you're here.
01:13:38You're the ones I love.
01:13:42And all those who love me,
01:13:44even though I've been a little grumpy lately,
01:13:48but you're by my side.
01:13:54Especially you, my love.
01:13:57You've been a rock all this time.
01:14:02I love you so much.
01:14:03I love you, honey.
01:14:06And Harry has been a huge blessing to our family this day.
01:14:14I know we haven't known each other for a long time,
01:14:16but I dare say that none of us will ever forget you.
01:14:21Especially Uncle Petey.
01:14:23No, no, not the car!
01:14:28Hey, you're not going to drive it, kid.
01:14:30I'm not even old enough to do it.
01:14:33Yes, that's true.
01:14:34All right, all right.
01:14:36To get to the point.
01:14:40I gave in to my circumstances.
01:14:44And you helped me open my eyes.
01:14:50And although there is still uncertainty
01:14:58and unanswered questions,
01:15:00I know I'm not alone.
01:15:06That we are not alone.
01:15:09And that there is still hope.
01:15:13So thank you.
01:15:17You're welcome.
01:15:20And we praise God that all blessings flow.
01:15:24We really appreciate your presence.
01:15:28Of course.
01:15:29Now, how about we start that fabulous Christmas ham?
01:15:33Very well.
01:15:34Wait a minute, wait a minute.
01:15:36Shouldn't we thank you first for this?
01:15:43Heavenly Father, we thank you for all the blessings for our lives.
01:15:49We thank you for sending your son this Christmas for our salvation.
01:15:53Thank you for each member of this family who is at this table.
01:15:58And for the food that has been prepared.
01:16:00We love you.
01:16:01And we ask this in the name of Jesus.
01:16:04Amen.
01:16:05Amen.
01:16:06Very well.
01:16:07Now, the fabulous ham.
01:16:09Bring me your dishes.
01:16:11I want to try this one.
01:16:20We will be praying for you, James.
01:16:23Gabi, it was a pleasure to meet you.
01:16:25Thank you very much for coming.
01:16:27Titi, give me a hug.
01:16:28We're going to intercept you.
01:16:29What a coincidence.
01:16:30I know.
01:16:31They got right in the middle.
01:16:32Thank you very much.
01:16:33It was a pleasure having you here.
01:16:34I'm glad you came.
01:16:35It was a pleasure.
01:16:36Yes, really.
01:16:37Isn't that your phone ringing?
01:16:39Yes.
01:16:40Who would call me at Christmas?
01:16:42Excuse me.
01:16:43Yes, love.
01:16:45We should see each other more often, don't you think?
01:16:47I'd love to.
01:16:48Have a cup of coffee.
01:16:49Do you promise?
01:16:50Yes, you can drive.
01:16:51But only at the entrance.
01:16:53But don't tell Mom.
01:16:55Right, Mom?
01:16:58I'm not listening.
01:16:59We won't tell her anything.
01:17:00Because they're still young enough to drive.
01:17:02Does it hurt?
01:17:03No, not at all.
01:17:04As if nothing had happened.
01:17:05That's amazing.
01:17:06Right?
01:17:07I know.
01:17:11Excuse me, please.
01:17:17I...
01:17:18I...
01:17:20I don't know how to thank you for everything you did today.
01:17:24Don't thank me.
01:17:26I'm just a servant
01:17:28who has done his duty.
01:17:30Mary!
01:17:31Can you come here?
01:17:32Hurry!
01:17:33Maybe I should go see what he needs.
01:17:38And it would be after New Year's Eve?
01:17:41Are you sure I was approved?
01:17:44Okay.
01:17:46Merry Christmas to you.
01:17:49Goodbye.
01:17:51What happened?
01:17:52Who was it?
01:17:53It was Dr. Ehler.
01:17:55She called you on Christmas?
01:17:56What did she want?
01:17:57Yes.
01:17:59She got me in for an experimental treatment.
01:18:02What?
01:18:03It starts in January.
01:18:04There are no guarantees, honey, but they're good.
01:18:06Of course!
01:18:07We'll take it!
01:18:08We'll take it!
01:18:09We'll take it!
01:18:10Accept it!
01:18:11Guys, is everything okay?
01:18:12What happened?
01:18:13Oh my God!
01:18:14Yes!
01:18:15Everything is fine!
01:18:16It's...
01:18:17It's fantastic!
01:18:18What happened, Mom?
01:18:19What?
01:18:20She just called my doctor.
01:18:22And...
01:18:23It looks like I'll start a new treatment.
01:18:26There's hope.
01:18:28We'll heal for that over and over again!
01:18:32God answered.
01:18:33You can believe it.
01:18:36Thank you so much!
01:18:37Oh my God!
01:18:38When the doctor said that the experimental treatment was a possibility,
01:18:41he gave us the diagnosis, but it seemed very remote, so...
01:18:45I'm glad for you.
01:18:47Oh, I know.
01:18:50Oh my God, guys.
01:18:52I'm so happy.
01:18:53Oh, thank you.
01:18:54Where's Harry?
01:18:55He already left.
01:18:58Without saying goodbye?
01:19:00Yes, he said he had to go.
01:19:01I guess he was in a hurry.
01:19:03He offered to take him, but he said he'd go alone.
01:19:05He opened the door and left.
01:19:07He left in the middle of the night.
01:19:09He just disappeared.
01:19:11Very mysterious until the end.
01:19:14He left this for you.
01:19:17But he asked you not to open it until we left.
01:19:21Now you understand?
01:19:24Merry Christmas!
01:19:29And happy new year, right?
01:19:31Hey, we'll be together, right?
01:19:34I support you, you support me.
01:19:37Everything will be fine.
01:19:39Yes.
01:19:40Now, how about we go get the kids and see what Harry left you?
01:19:44Of course!
01:19:45I know.
01:19:46Oh, I almost forgot.
01:19:47Me too.
01:19:48Let's go.
01:19:49Okay.
01:19:51Kids!
01:19:52Come down!
01:19:59Read it out loud.
01:20:01Yes, let's all hear it.
01:20:02Very good, all in due time.
01:20:04Dad!
01:20:09Dear Merry, before you continue reading, go to the living room.
01:20:14And on the table you will find a memory that I have left for you.
01:20:21Very good.
01:20:22Do you want us to go to the living room?
01:20:24I think so.
01:20:25Okay.
01:20:26Okay.
01:20:40It's the picture.
01:20:44But it was broken.
01:20:47Yes, it was completely broken.
01:20:50The painting, the glass, everything.
01:20:53There is no crack in the glass.
01:20:56It looks perfect.
01:20:58It's perfect.
01:21:02Hold it.
01:21:10I leave you this restored gift as a daily reminder that God is all-powerful,
01:21:17for whom nothing is impossible.
01:21:22Including the health of broken hearts in those who suffer from loss and pain.
01:21:29The one who sacrificed his son to save the lost and who never forgets or abandons.
01:21:34So do not discard your trust in him.
01:21:37And remember that we do not know what the future holds,
01:21:42but we know who makes it happen.
01:21:44Servant of the All-Powerful Harold.
01:21:50I want to see that.
01:21:51Yes.
01:21:56But his name was wrong.
01:21:59What do you mean?
01:22:01You see, his name is not Harold.
01:22:04It would be H-A-R-O-L-D.
01:22:08True.
01:22:10Who would know?
01:22:11I do not understand anything.
01:22:13Well, Lydia is right.
01:22:14Here it does not say the name Harold.
01:22:16It's Geraldo, like H-E-R-A-L-D-O.
01:22:21What is that?
01:22:23It was an old job.
01:22:25A herald was a kind of messenger.
01:22:28Yes, someone who reported something important to a high-ranking person, like a king.
01:22:35The king of kings.
01:22:38Like an herald angel.
01:22:42What are you saying?
01:22:45Harry was an angel?
01:22:47I told you, Lydia! I told you!
01:22:50Harry was an angel?
01:22:52I told you, Lydia! I told you!
01:22:55I knew he was not human.
01:22:57I knew it!
01:22:59You said it was a silly idea.
01:23:01But now what do you have to say about it?
01:23:03I told you, Mom.
01:23:05I told you, Dad.
01:23:06But he did not want to listen to me.
01:23:08I can not wait to tell George about this.
01:23:11Holy God, what a day!
01:23:14It has been the best Christmas of my life.
01:23:17A miracle for Christmas.
01:23:48How still we see thee lie
01:23:55Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
01:24:01The silent stars go by
01:24:07Yet in thy dark streets shineth
01:24:14The everlasting light
01:24:20The hopes and fears of all the years
01:24:26Are met in thee tonight
01:24:35How silently, how silently
01:24:43The wondrous gift is given
01:24:50So God imparts to human hearts
01:24:56The blessings of his heaven
01:25:03No ear may hear his coming
01:25:09But in this world of sin
01:25:15Where meek souls will receive him still
01:25:21The dear Christ enters in
01:25:29The dear Christ enters in
01:25:35piano solo
01:25:58Oh little town of Bethlehem
01:26:04How still we see thee lie
01:26:10Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
01:26:16The silent stars go by
01:26:22Yet in thy dark streets shineth
01:26:28The everlasting light
01:26:34The hopes and fears of all the years
01:26:40Are met in thee tonight
01:26:49piano solo
