00:00:30This one, Mommy. This is what I want for Christmas.
00:00:38Put that away. I'll come back. Okay.
00:00:42So, you know what? I think this little guy needs to take a nap.
00:00:47What's your name? Charlotte.
00:00:50Charlotte. So, should I tell Santa that this is what you really want for Christmas?
00:00:56You know Santa?
00:00:58Can you keep a secret?
00:01:00I'm good because I'm really not supposed to tell anyone, but Santa is actually a personal friend of mine.
00:01:05He is? He is.
00:01:07And you know he calls me every time this year asking me what all the good girls and the good boys want for Christmas.
00:01:12So, have you been good this year? Because I kind of have to report back to him.
00:01:16I've been good. You have? That's wonderful.
00:01:20Santa's going to be so happy to hear that.
00:01:24Can I?
00:01:30You're wonderful with kids. You must have some of your own.
00:01:33Not yet, but hopefully soon.
00:01:35Henry, my fiancé and I, we own this shop together and he loves kids.
00:01:40If it were up to him, we'd have a baker's dozen.
00:01:42And how do you feel about that?
00:01:44It's definitely negotiable.
00:01:47His sweater is so beautiful.
00:01:49You know, Nicole made that.
00:01:51Well, if you happen to have one of my size, make sure Santa puts one under the tree for me.
00:01:56Thank you. That is very kind of you to say, but really it's just more of a hobby.
00:02:00Well, let me know if you ever decide to make sweaters for people.
00:02:03I own a store, Unique Styles. I know my customers would love your work.
00:02:07Here's my card.
00:02:09Thank you. That's something to think about.
00:02:11See you tomorrow.
00:02:12See you.
00:02:13Come on, Charlotte. Time to go.
00:02:15Bye, Charlotte.
00:02:17Bye.
00:02:18See ya.
00:02:21Hmm.
00:02:24What do you think, Jack Frost?
00:02:26You think I could make a living selling my designs? Hmm?
00:02:31Yeah, it's a crazy idea.
00:02:35Hey there, my future wife.
00:02:37Hello, future husband.
00:02:39How'd we do today?
00:02:40Uh, good. Busy. We even sold the giraffe.
00:02:43Which one?
00:02:44Tall guy.
00:02:45I miss that big guy.
00:02:46Oh, he's going to a good home.
00:02:48Uh, you got our sweaters?
00:02:50Yes.
00:02:51I've just finished.
00:02:53Oh, that's great.
00:02:55I'm so glad you're here.
00:02:57I'm so glad you're here.
00:02:58I'm so glad you're here.
00:02:59I'm so glad you're here.
00:03:00I'm so glad you're here.
00:03:01I'm so glad you're here.
00:03:02I'm so glad you're here.
00:03:03I just finished them today.
00:03:05Uh-huh.
00:03:07Oh, those are beautiful.
00:03:09You do realize that we're going to an ugly sweater party, though, right?
00:03:13Yeah, that is why I made the proportions from the eyes to the bill completely off.
00:03:18You see? Yeah, kind of ugly, right?
00:03:20Yeah, I see that. They're hideous.
00:03:22You know, this could actually be the year that we win this thing.
00:03:25Yeah, that's not going to happen.
00:03:26You know Susan's won, like, four years in a row.
00:03:29Yeah, but she has no idea who she's dealing with.
00:03:32Huh?
00:03:33Wow, I like the way you think.
00:03:35I like the way you kiss.
00:03:36We're not wearing these.
00:03:37Okay.
00:03:46Why are we stopping at the house?
00:03:47I left my gloves here.
00:03:49I love our house. It's perfect.
00:03:53I can't wait to raise our family here.
00:03:55It's going to be perfect once I finish all the renovations.
00:03:58Can we go inside?
00:04:00Not today. I just took out all the flooring.
00:04:02Aw.
00:04:05Just think, it's time next year, we're going to be in our house,
00:04:10having Christmas dinner with all our friends.
00:04:12You promise?
00:04:13I promise.
00:04:20Oh, wait.
00:04:22Oh.
00:04:23Huh?
00:04:24Oh.
00:04:26Huh?
00:04:30Oh.
00:04:37The first of many memories we're going to make here.
00:04:52Hey, hey.
00:04:55Seriously, Susan, why bother having people over to your house?
00:04:58Are you going to make your friends do all the work?
00:05:00I'm not following.
00:05:01Not following?
00:05:02No.
00:05:03You realize I made a glazed ham, roast turkey, rack of lamb,
00:05:06and beef wellington for your party.
00:05:08Remind me, what exactly is your contribution?
00:05:10My fabulous personality.
00:05:12That's what keeps them coming back for more, sweetie.
00:05:16You're crazy.
00:05:20How is the renovation going?
00:05:22It's going really good.
00:05:23I mean, slowly but surely.
00:05:24But I can't wait for you to see it.
00:05:26It's going to be amazing.
00:05:27Yeah.
00:05:28Hey.
00:05:29Hi.
00:05:30So, what do you think of your sister's Christmas sweaters?
00:05:33I want one.
00:05:35I'll trade you yours for Phil's.
00:05:37Oh, no.
00:05:38Not a chance.
00:05:39Yeah, no.
00:05:40Attention, everyone.
00:05:41I'm crying out loud.
00:05:42Susan, loose the bullhorn.
00:05:44Loose the bullhorn?
00:05:45Please.
00:05:46Yes.
00:05:47Yay, all right.
00:05:48Well, friends, it is time to give out the grand prize for the best Christmas outfit.
00:05:53This cashmere throw from Ooh La La Gift Emporium goes to...
00:05:59Me!
00:06:01It's not fair.
00:06:02You won five years in a row now.
00:06:03Have some jingle juice.
00:06:04You'll be hearing jingle bells in no time.
00:06:08Oh, cheers.
00:06:09Cheers.
00:06:20We are out of ice.
00:06:22Tom, we've run out of ice.
00:06:24What do you want me to do about it, Susan?
00:06:26You could break off some icicles.
00:06:28No.
00:06:29Look, I can just go to the market, get some bags.
00:06:32No need.
00:06:33Tom, wake the kids.
00:06:34Wake up those icicles.
00:06:35Susan, do not wake up the kids.
00:06:36Let him go.
00:06:37He doesn't mind.
00:06:38Really, I do not mind.
00:06:39You sure?
00:06:40All right, then.
00:06:41Okay.
00:06:43Hurry back.
00:06:44I love you.
00:06:45Love you.
00:06:53Well, next year, I'm going to put my foot down
00:06:55telling Susan I am not bringing any more food.
00:07:00I'm going to tell her to order a few pizzas.
00:07:03We could all throw in a few bucks, call it a day.
00:07:06What do you think, Nick?
00:07:10Nick?
00:07:11Where's Henry?
00:07:12He should have been back by now.
00:07:14I'm sure he's fine.
00:07:15I tried calling him.
00:07:16It went straight to voicemail.
00:07:18I'm sure he'll be walking through that door any minute.
00:07:22Hello?
00:07:52Hey, Tom.
00:07:53How you doing, Nick?
00:07:55I'm good.
00:07:56Thanks for coming.
00:07:57You know, this time of year could be hard for you.
00:08:00I'm good, Tom.
00:08:01Really, I'm okay.
00:08:05You sure you're ready to let go of the house?
00:08:07Yep.
00:08:08Yep, I'm ready.
00:08:09I'm ready to sell.
00:08:11Okay, well, like I said,
00:08:12my company's more than happy to list it for you.
00:08:14You think I can get what Henry and I paid for it?
00:08:16Not till the work's complete.
00:08:18I just don't want you to take a hit on the house, Nick.
00:08:22Let's get someone in here that can do the work
00:08:24and then think about selling it.
00:08:26Is that okay?
00:08:27Mm-hmm.
00:08:28And what about the store?
00:08:29Any interested buyers?
00:08:30I've got a couple showings lined up,
00:08:32so let's just give it a little time
00:08:34and I promise you we will sell the toy store and this house.
00:08:38Great.
00:08:39Thank you, Tom.
00:08:40You got it.
00:08:41Curious.
00:08:42About what?
00:08:43Well, after you sell everything,
00:08:45this house, the store,
00:08:47what's next for you?
00:08:49Oh, you know me, Tom.
00:08:51I always figure something out.
00:08:53Right.
00:08:54I'm gonna go check it out.
00:08:55All right.
00:08:56Go for it.
00:09:10Hey.
00:09:11Got you a gingerbread latte.
00:09:13Oh, thank you, Nick.
00:09:15How's it going today?
00:09:16Good, yeah, yeah, yeah, busy.
00:09:18Any calls?
00:09:19Yes, Mrs. Barnes called.
00:09:21Said she was looking for a plastic rocket ship for her grandson.
00:09:24Oh, I think we got one in the back.
00:09:26Oh, and Pop's called.
00:09:27Twice.
00:09:28He needs a new razor.
00:09:29Gail dropped one off at his house,
00:09:31but he said it's a ladies' razor and it doesn't work.
00:09:33And then he said because Gail messed up,
00:09:35he now has a mustache or so.
00:09:37He grew a mustache in two hours?
00:09:39That's what he said.
00:09:40You want me to stop by the pharmacy and pick him up a new one?
00:09:43No, it's all right.
00:09:44I gotta head over there to make him lunch later anyways.
00:09:46Okay.
00:09:47Hey, uh, how'd it go with Tom?
00:09:50Did he say he could sell the house?
00:09:52Yeah, he, uh, just wants me to finish the remodel first.
00:09:56But, um, I just have no idea how I'm going to find someone to do it.
00:10:00You know what?
00:10:01I happen to know a guy.
00:10:03Yeah, he's an old friend.
00:10:04He's a carpenter.
00:10:05I think he could help you out.
00:10:06Oh.
00:10:07You want me to call him?
00:10:08Yes, Teddy, please.
00:10:09That would be amazing.
00:10:12Oh, hello.
00:10:18Mary, Mary, hello.
00:10:21Did you get my message about tonight?
00:10:23What about tonight?
00:10:24A bunch of us are going to see It's a Wonderful Life at the Majestic, 8 o'clock.
00:10:28Please say you'll come.
00:10:29I can't.
00:10:30I, I have things to do.
00:10:32I need to organize the back.
00:10:34Nicole, you need to get out more.
00:10:37Have some fun.
00:10:38I have fun.
00:10:39Reorganizing the stockroom is not fun.
00:10:41It is for me.
00:10:43Gary Jankowski is coming to movie night tonight.
00:10:46Who?
00:10:47Gary Jankowski.
00:10:48The orthodontist.
00:10:49Remember I told you about him?
00:10:50The single doctor.
00:10:52Right.
00:10:53Barry.
00:10:54Gary.
00:10:55And he is just the sweetest.
00:10:57I'm sure he is, but tonight is no good for me.
00:11:00You know, I have a lot of stuff to do.
00:11:03Mm, a lot.
00:11:04A lot of, a lot of stuff.
00:11:06Mm-hmm.
00:11:07Fine.
00:11:08You be a party pooper.
00:11:09But you're definitely coming Tuesday, right?
00:11:11Tuesday?
00:11:12It's my ugly sweater party.
00:11:15And, um, I just thought it would be great for you to be with all of us.
00:11:19And you do not want to miss what I am wearing this year.
00:11:24Okay?
00:11:25Biggest fashion disaster this town has ever seen.
00:11:29Please say you'll come.
00:11:32Will Gary Jankowski be there?
00:11:34As a matter of fact, he has a dental convention, so no.
00:11:38Okay, then.
00:11:40I will come.
00:11:41Yes!
00:11:42Hint.
00:11:44Yeah.
00:11:45My sweater requires an outlet and an extension cord.
00:11:49Intrigued?
00:11:50Always.
00:11:51Goodbye.
00:11:52Bye.
00:12:05Really?
00:12:06Chips?
00:12:07Donut soda?
00:12:08A frozen pizza pops?
00:12:10Come on.
00:12:13You know, I promised Mom and Dad when they moved away that I would take care of you.
00:12:17So?
00:12:18Take care of me and heat up that pizza.
00:12:20Not a chance.
00:12:21I'm making you a salad.
00:12:22Ugh.
00:12:23So how you doing, Pops?
00:12:24You feeling good?
00:12:26Oh, I'd feel a lot better if the Badgers could get a rebound.
00:12:29Oh, come on, you...
00:12:33I miss going to the games with you and Henry.
00:12:37Three of us went to a lot of games together last season.
00:12:40He'd wear that big foam Badger hat nobody could see past him.
00:12:44I miss him.
00:12:46Yeah, those games were a lot of fun.
00:12:52You don't have to be brave with me, honey.
00:12:55It's okay to show what you're feeling.
00:12:58I miss him too, Pops.
00:13:02It will get better.
00:13:04I promise.
00:13:05How did you get through it when Grandma died?
00:13:11Well, after your Grandma died, for a year, every single day, I wrote her a letter.
00:13:20I would pour my heart out.
00:13:21I would tell her how much I missed her.
00:13:23I would tell her about my day, what was good about my day, what was bad.
00:13:27And it helped to heal my heart.
00:13:30Letters.
00:13:32That is so beautiful.
00:13:34Yeah, but these days you kids don't write letters.
00:13:37Everybody's just texting.
00:13:40Did you keep any of those letters?
00:13:42Yeah, some.
00:13:43In the closet on the top shelf, I think.
00:13:46Can I take some to read?
00:13:48Well, of course.
00:13:51About my lunch, there is a frozen burrito there.
00:13:54Uh-uh.
00:13:57I just can't win.
00:13:59Nope, not if I have anything to do with it.
00:14:10Okay.
00:14:35Hey, can I come over?
00:14:40Sure.
00:14:52I made you some tea.
00:14:54Thanks.
00:14:55Here you go.
00:14:57Thanks for letting me come over.
00:15:00Sometimes it's just too hard to be in my apartment with all those memories alone.
00:15:06You're my best friend.
00:15:08You're family.
00:15:09My home is your home.
00:15:12You know, I've been thinking.
00:15:15And I've been thinking that I'm mad at you.
00:15:19I am mad at you because that night, the night that Henry died,
00:15:24you told me he was going to walk through that door any minute.
00:15:28I know I did.
00:15:30But, you know, what happened was a terrible accident.
00:15:33It was no one's fault.
00:15:38I'm so scared, Alan.
00:15:41I know, sweetie.
00:15:43I know.
00:15:47What are these?
00:15:49These are letters that my pops wrote to my grandma when she died.
00:15:54He said that writing them helped him to not feel so sad.
00:15:59Can I see?
00:16:00Yeah, sure.
00:16:09My dearest Margaret, today I found the pin you bought in Italy.
00:16:14The cameo you love to wear.
00:16:16I sat on our bed holding it and cried.
00:16:23Until then, I've been holding it all together.
00:16:27Just how much I miss you finally came flitting out.
00:16:31Forever and always.
00:16:33You're John.
00:16:36It's beautiful.
00:16:38I know.
00:16:40Okay, we need cookies.
00:16:43I've decided.
00:16:44Okay.
00:17:00Hey, it's your favorite sis.
00:17:02Another casserole is on its way.
00:17:04Be on the lookout.
00:17:14That day at the house, he said it would be the first of many memories.
00:17:18I didn't think it would be the last.
00:17:35One pretty pony tea set.
00:17:39I hope your daughter enjoys it, Angela.
00:17:41I'm sure she will.
00:17:44Hey, Nicole, I heard a rumor that you're selling the store.
00:17:47Please tell me that's not true.
00:17:49It is.
00:17:50You know, ever since I first met Henry in college, it was always his dream to have a toy store.
00:17:55I swear, the proudest moment of that man's life was when we first opened the doors to Village Toys.
00:18:00I remember that day.
00:18:01You know, we were each other's partners.
00:18:03I ran the business side, and he was all about the fun and the whimsy.
00:18:06Henry was so amazing at getting every kid that walked through that door to go to faraway places with their imagination.
00:18:13I miss that.
00:18:15I think we all miss that.
00:18:18You know, a year ago, I never would have thought I'd sell this place.
00:18:22But then I realized, you know, this was Henry's passion.
00:18:25This was Henry's dream.
00:18:27Without him, this store doesn't really make much sense for me anymore.
00:18:30I get it.
00:18:32Sometimes life shows you a fork in the road.
00:18:34You just never know where life's going to take you.
00:18:37Here you go.
00:18:39Merry Christmas, Nicole.
00:18:41Merry Christmas.
00:18:47Higher, Billy.
00:18:49The lights need to be in the garland.
00:18:52I got it, Mrs. Ward.
00:18:54Well, hello, Nicole.
00:18:56Hi, Helen.
00:18:58I can't remember the last time I laid eyes on you.
00:19:00It's been a while.
00:19:02You're planning on fixing up the house so you can put it on the market?
00:19:05That's the plan.
00:19:07Oh, and Billy, the Rudolph is looking a little tarnished.
00:19:11Yes, Mrs. Ward.
00:19:13You know I'm on the committee for our neighborhood Victorian Christmas display?
00:19:19Well, I'm sure you're going to like it.
00:19:21I'm on the committee for our neighborhood Victorian Christmas display.
00:19:25Well, it all looks so wonderful, Helen.
00:19:27This year, I'm the reindeer captain.
00:19:33Good heavens, Walter!
00:19:36Walter, darling.
00:19:39Come to mama.
00:19:41Is it always like this around here?
00:19:44I'm sorry?
00:19:46Dogs in Christmas sweaters.
00:19:48I must have saw 12 of them on my ride over here.
00:19:50Is there one on the block? Speaking of which, where's yours?
00:19:52Um...
00:19:54Oh, Teddy told me that this neighborhood went all out for the holidays.
00:19:57This is more than I could have ever imagined.
00:20:00Yes, everyone around here does seem to have Christmas fever.
00:20:03Yes, apparently so.
00:20:05You must be Joe Roberts, Teddy's friend the carpenter.
00:20:07Nicole, right?
00:20:09Yes. Thank you for meeting me here.
00:20:11Yeah, yeah. Beautiful house.
00:20:13Teddy said that it needed some work. You were thinking about selling it?
00:20:16Yes. You want to take a look around?
00:20:19Sure. Should I follow you in?
00:20:21Oh, um...
00:20:23You know, why don't you go ahead?
00:20:25I need to make a phone call, and after you've had a chance to look around,
00:20:29then we can talk out here about how to proceed.
00:20:32Yeah. Yeah, sure. Whatever you want.
00:20:34Okay. Thank you.
00:20:50You okay?
00:20:52Yes. I'm fine.
00:20:54Um, what do you think about the work that needs to be done?
00:20:57Well, I can do it. I just need to purchase some molding, some wood, and...
00:21:00Great. My textbook's at the store. Meet me there?
00:21:03So, does this mean I'm hired?
00:21:05Yes.
00:21:10Okay, then. I guess I'm hired.
00:21:20Hi. Here's the estimate from the lumberyard.
00:21:26Looks good.
00:21:28I just need to find my checkbook.
00:21:32So, do you want to pick out the wood for the living room mantel?
00:21:35No. You can decide. I really don't need to be a part of those decisions.
00:21:39Okay. I'll give you my work cell.
00:21:42Anything you think of, anything you need to run by me, you can just give me a call.
00:21:45You know what? That won't be necessary.
00:21:47Um, I'm really just fixing it up to sell.
00:21:49So, if you have any questions, you can reach out to my realtor, Tom Young.
00:21:52He's got an office on First Street.
00:21:54Tom Young. Got it.
00:21:56Where is my checkbook?
00:21:58Uh...
00:22:00Oh. Here.
00:22:13Yo, ho, ho.
00:22:15Well, I can see now why you and Teddy are friends.
00:22:24Okay, so.
00:22:26I just got back from taking Pops to the barber's and...
00:22:29Get this.
00:22:31He wanted sideburns.
00:22:33What?
00:22:35I tell you, Nicole. Something's up with him.
00:22:37He's gotten completely nutty.
00:22:39Well, I think it's all the sugar that he eats, personally.
00:22:42Ah.
00:22:44Oh. Sorry.
00:22:46Was I... interrupting something?
00:22:48Oh, no, no, no. Um, sorry.
00:22:50Joe, this is my sister Gail. Gail, this is Joe.
00:22:52Ahoy.
00:22:54I just hired Joe to do the remodel on my house.
00:22:58You're remodeling Tudor Road?
00:23:00Yeah.
00:23:02Tom said I should before we put it up for sale.
00:23:04You ready to sell the house?
00:23:06Yeah.
00:23:08Yeah, I think it's time.
00:23:10It's been almost a year since he died.
00:23:14So...
00:23:16I heard you might be going to Susan's party tonight.
00:23:20Yes, I said I might.
00:23:24Um, I understand.
00:23:26But you should go. You should go.
00:23:28Go have fun.
00:23:30I mean, Susan said her outfit's gonna be even crazier than ever.
00:23:32Oh, Teddy and I picked out some pretty solid sweaters to wear to the party.
00:23:36You're going to Susan and Tom's party?
00:23:38Yeah. Teddy invited me.
00:23:40He said Susan said everyone was welcome.
00:23:42Sounds like Susan.
00:23:44Yeah.
00:23:46Well, I better get back to the house.
00:23:48Nice to meet you, Gail.
00:23:50Same.
00:23:54So, if you change your mind
00:23:56and feel like coming to the party tonight...
00:24:00We can go together and we don't have to stay very long.
00:24:02Okay.
00:24:04Maybe.
00:24:06Okay, okay.
00:24:08I'll check in with you later.
00:24:10Great.
00:24:12Nice guy.
00:24:18Did you bring the fruitcake, Phil?
00:24:20No one likes fruitcake, Gail.
00:24:22I told Susan we were bringing fruitcake.
00:24:24I think we still have one from last year
00:24:26in the trunk of the car.
00:24:28Think anyone will know the difference?
00:24:30With a fruitcake?
00:24:36No.
00:24:40Take my hand.
00:24:44I got you, Nick.
00:24:46I got you.
00:24:58Attention, everyone!
00:25:00It is time to give out the prize for the best winner.
00:25:02Our second-place winner
00:25:04this year is...
00:25:06Alan!
00:25:08You are the lucky winner
00:25:10of this lovely holiday-scented candle.
00:25:12Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:25:14Wait a minute.
00:25:16I think I gave you this for Christmas last year.
00:25:18Oh, I was hoping my regifting would go unnoticed this year.
00:25:20Yeah, well, I noticed.
00:25:22And now our grand prize
00:25:24is this cheese board
00:25:26that is from the village Trinkets and Treasures.
00:25:28Goes to...
00:25:30Hmm...
00:25:32Me!
00:25:34I mean, come on.
00:25:36It's not fun if you win every year, Susan.
00:25:38Don't get your tits on a date.
00:25:40What do you know? It's already personalized.
00:25:42How'd that get there?
00:26:00How did she do?
00:26:18Oh, thank you.
00:26:20Cheers.
00:26:22Cheers.
00:26:24Wow, your friends are fun.
00:26:26They are quite a bunch.
00:26:28Are the holidays always like this?
00:26:30Yeah, every Christmas.
00:26:32You should see Alan's gift exchange.
00:26:34It's pretty cutthroat.
00:26:36Cutthroat?
00:26:38Oh, yeah.
00:26:40Attention, everyone.
00:26:42Alan is demanding a recount.
00:26:44And to be perfectly clear,
00:26:46I strongly object based on the uniqueness
00:26:48and creativity of my sweater.
00:26:50Honey, I think your sweater just blew a fuse.
00:26:58Hmm.
00:27:00Too loud in there?
00:27:02Yeah, too hot.
00:27:04It's like she has the heat up on 90 degrees.
00:27:08Man, this neighborhood is something else.
00:27:10Yeah, I guess it is.
00:27:12Did you grow up here?
00:27:14I've been here my whole life.
00:27:16Except for the four years I went to college.
00:27:18It must be nice, actually,
00:27:20really being from somewhere.
00:27:22I was an army brat, so we moved around all the time.
00:27:24Every year it was a new town,
00:27:26new school, Christmas in a different house.
00:27:28When I was a kid, I just wanted
00:27:30some stability in my life,
00:27:32a house I could call my own.
00:27:34You never had a house of your own?
00:27:36Dozens, actually.
00:27:38Well, yeah, yeah.
00:27:40When I was little, I used to carve
00:27:42all sorts of little houses,
00:27:44ones with big roofs
00:27:46and white picket fences,
00:27:48porches, high ceilings.
00:27:50I guess I thought
00:27:52that if I built it,
00:27:54maybe it would become a reality
00:27:56that someday
00:27:58I would build a home for real.
00:28:00So have you built
00:28:02your dream home yet?
00:28:04Oh, no, not yet.
00:28:06Why not?
00:28:08I guess I'm just still looking
00:28:10for the right place to build the foundation.
00:28:12But until then, I'm happy
00:28:14doing that for other people.
00:28:16So I guess I hired the right guy
00:28:18for the job, then.
00:28:20Yes, you did.
00:28:22I'm gonna get going.
00:28:24Good night.
00:28:28Hey, are you walking home?
00:28:30Yeah.
00:28:32Me too.
00:28:34This direction?
00:28:36Uh, yeah.
00:28:38Crazy idea here, but...
00:28:40I mean, since we're both
00:28:42walking the same way,
00:28:44maybe we can walk home together?
00:28:46Okay.
00:28:48Cool.
00:28:50So what was your childhood dream?
00:28:52I guess to own my own business
00:28:54and sell my knits.
00:28:56That's an amazingly practical grown-up dream.
00:28:58Well, I guess
00:29:00there was another one.
00:29:02I mean, it's not really a dream.
00:29:04I'm just a little kid, and it's kind of silly.
00:29:06Come on, tell me. I want to know.
00:29:08All right, so there's this
00:29:10really big pine tree, and it sits
00:29:12just in the middle of this meadow
00:29:14outside of town all by itself.
00:29:16And I always thought it looked like the loneliest tree
00:29:18in the world.
00:29:20So this one Christmas, I gathered up
00:29:22all the remaining ornaments and decorations I could find,
00:29:24and I rode my bike out there
00:29:26with the intention of decorating it,
00:29:28but a little pink bike on an icy road
00:29:30only gets you so far.
00:29:32Maybe, but you had a dream.
00:29:34That's all that matters, right?
00:29:36Well, this is me, so...
00:29:38Night.
00:29:40Hey, you should go decorate that tree.
00:29:42That is a crazy idea.
00:29:44Sometimes those are the best kind.
00:29:48♪
00:30:18I'm pretty sure that nothing will ever compare
00:30:20to the pain of losing you.
00:30:22I wake up every day, and I ask myself,
00:30:24how can I possibly move forward
00:30:26in this life without you?
00:30:28Who am I now that you're gone?
00:30:30Who am I stepping into the unknown?
00:30:32♪
00:30:34Who am I now that you're gone?
00:30:36Who am I stepping into the unknown?
00:30:38♪
00:31:04♪
00:31:10You haven't read
00:31:12Twas the Night Before Christmas?
00:31:14Well, you need to read this.
00:31:16And before you know it,
00:31:18visions of sugarplums will be dancing in your head.
00:31:20Hi.
00:31:22Here, just excuse me for a moment.
00:31:26Hey, what's going on? You look like you've just seen a ghost.
00:31:28I texted Henry.
00:31:30What? You texted Henry?
00:31:32He pops it with the letters,
00:31:34and someone texts him.
00:31:36Just look. Read it.
00:31:38I'm so sorry,
00:31:40and this is not who you think it is.
00:31:42Um, I got a new phone,
00:31:44and this is the number I was given.
00:31:46I also have experienced
00:31:48a great loss in my life.
00:31:50I understand what you're going through.
00:31:54Someone has Henry's number.
00:31:58Well, yeah, I see that.
00:32:00Well, maybe you should look past that.
00:32:02Now, look at what this person's saying to you.
00:32:04Because they understand
00:32:06what you're going through. They get it.
00:32:08Well, what should I do?
00:32:10I don't know, Nick.
00:32:12Something tells me Henry had a hand in this.
00:32:14Henry? Well, what do you mean?
00:32:16Well, maybe it's a sign from Henry.
00:32:18A sign? What kind of sign?
00:32:20Maybe the person that sent you
00:32:22that text,
00:32:24like an angel that
00:32:26Henry sent to watch over you.
00:32:28Just think about it. What are the odds
00:32:30that someone who's gone through a loss like you
00:32:32would end up with Henry's number?
00:32:40There you go, Nicole.
00:32:42One turkey on rye, hold the mayo for pops.
00:32:44Can I throw in a donut for him?
00:32:46Absolutely not.
00:32:48Morning. Morning. Hey.
00:32:50I was just about to head over to the house.
00:32:52Morning coffee first? You'll be satisfied with my sweet tooth.
00:32:54Oh, you've come to the right place.
00:32:56Uh, let me have a piece of
00:32:58the fruit cake. No.
00:33:00No, I am going to go with a slice of the gingerbread
00:33:02spice cake. All right, Mike.
00:33:04No. Uh, rum cake?
00:33:06No good?
00:33:08Everything's good.
00:33:10No, no, of course it is.
00:33:12It's just it's his first time here,
00:33:14so he has to get the peppermint bar
00:33:16cupcake. Cupcake for breakfast?
00:33:18You haven't lived
00:33:20until you've had Mike's peppermint bar cupcake.
00:33:22All right, Mike, we're going with
00:33:24one of those, please.
00:33:30Moment
00:33:32of truth.
00:33:36Come on, Mike!
00:33:38What?
00:33:40This is unfair!
00:33:42This is unfair!
00:33:48Oh, it's good seeing you laughing again,
00:33:50Nicole.
00:33:52Um, I should, I should get going.
00:33:54All right. Okay, goodbye.
00:33:56Goodbye, Nicole. Okay, bye.
00:33:58See you. Bye.
00:34:00Now, can I have a black coffee
00:34:02please, Mike? Sure, come right up.
00:34:16No donut? Not today, Pops.
00:34:22Hey, Pops,
00:34:24can I ask you something?
00:34:26After Grandma died,
00:34:28did you ever
00:34:30reach out to anyone to talk about
00:34:32the things you were feeling?
00:34:34Well, of course.
00:34:36Even people you didn't know?
00:34:38Sometimes that's easier.
00:34:40I'll let you in
00:34:42on a little secret, honey.
00:34:44After your grandma died,
00:34:46every day
00:34:48I would go to the community center
00:34:50for a swim.
00:34:52Remember?
00:34:54Well, the truth is,
00:34:56for a whole year I never stepped foot in the pool.
00:34:58What?
00:35:00There was a young girl who worked there.
00:35:02She was maybe
00:35:0420 when her mother passed away.
00:35:06I think she
00:35:08recognized my broken heart.
00:35:10I could talk to her
00:35:12about all the grief that I was carrying around.
00:35:14She was somebody who understood
00:35:16exactly what I was feeling.
00:35:18You could have talked to me.
00:35:20Oh, honey.
00:35:22Sometimes those that are closest to us,
00:35:24bless their hearts,
00:35:26try too hard to help us heal.
00:35:28You know what I mean?
00:35:30Yeah, like Gail's casseroles.
00:35:32So you never went swimming?
00:35:34Well,
00:35:36a year later I went back to the pool.
00:35:38I was in the deep end.
00:35:40But I felt so uneasy.
00:35:42I was gripping the side of the pool.
00:35:44I was scared.
00:35:46She was there, and she said,
00:35:48just let go.
00:35:50And did you?
00:35:52Yes.
00:35:54Sometimes you have to let go in order to move forward.
00:35:56I'm trying, Pops.
00:35:58I'm really trying.
00:36:00I know you are.
00:36:02It's just hard.
00:36:04You'll get there.
00:36:06Oh, my mittens.
00:36:08You dropped out at the bakery.
00:36:12You didn't have to bring this out here.
00:36:14Snow's in the forecast,
00:36:16and you look like a girl
00:36:18who's thrown a snowball once or twice in her life.
00:36:20That's a lot of gifts.
00:36:22Yeah, they're for the kids
00:36:24at the children's hospital.
00:36:26That's going to make a lot of kids happy.
00:36:32You know,
00:36:34Teddy said you're closing up shop.
00:36:36February.
00:36:38Then what?
00:36:40You know,
00:36:42I don't know.
00:36:44Since my fiancé died a year ago?
00:36:46It's strange.
00:36:48I feel like I'm on this journey,
00:36:50but I don't really know
00:36:52where the journey's taking me.
00:36:56Well,
00:36:58I think there's only one way to find out.
00:37:04Pick a card.
00:37:06What?
00:37:08Go on.
00:37:10Let Jeannie Jo the Amazing
00:37:12see what the future holds for you.
00:37:14Jeannie Jo the Amazing?
00:37:16That's what all my friends call me.
00:37:18Please, madam.
00:37:20Let the audience see
00:37:22what the card you picked is.
00:37:24The audience?
00:37:26What?
00:37:28Oh, the audience.
00:37:30Ah!
00:37:32The future is bright.
00:37:34You know what?
00:37:36I think we actually should hear from the audience.
00:37:38Uh...
00:37:40Well,
00:37:42what do you think about Nicole's future,
00:37:44Lord Fluff and Stuff?
00:37:46Of course her future's looking bright.
00:37:48Don't!
00:37:50Lord Fluff and Stuff?
00:37:52Okay, just stop.
00:37:54Everybody thinks your future's looking good.
00:37:56Okay.
00:37:58Yeah.
00:38:00Okay.
00:38:02Well, I should get back to the house.
00:38:04I'm putting in your new floors today.
00:38:06Oh.
00:38:08See you around, Nicole.
00:38:10See ya.
00:38:12Nicole.
00:38:14Uh-oh.
00:38:18Nicole the Amazing.
00:38:26Oh, wow.
00:38:30Your future is bright.
00:38:48I was thinking about your loss.
00:38:50Three years ago, I lost my brother.
00:38:52He just turned 29.
00:38:54We were two brothers,
00:38:56the best of friends.
00:38:58We learned sometimes things that break apart
00:39:00can come together stronger.
00:39:02Sometimes those broken places
00:39:04will let in the light.
00:39:14Let the light in, huh?
00:39:24Hi.
00:39:26Hi.
00:39:28Mike wanted me to drop these off for you.
00:39:30Great. You want to come in?
00:39:32Sure.
00:39:34Cool. Come on in.
00:39:38Uh, you know what?
00:39:40Since I have you here,
00:39:42would you mind helping me move my couch?
00:39:44Sure.
00:39:46Thank you. Sorry.
00:39:48I'm just trying to, um,
00:39:50like, trying to go this way.
00:39:52Okay.
00:39:54You think they're still good?
00:39:56Oh, I, I...
00:39:58You know, are you hungry?
00:40:00I'm always hungry.
00:40:02I am, too. Um, I have just the thing.
00:40:04My sister loves to cook.
00:40:06She brings me another one of these
00:40:08massive casseroles every week.
00:40:12Mmm.
00:40:14You have to try the broccoli cheddar.
00:40:16Oh, I'm still working on the carnitas and peppers.
00:40:18Mmm.
00:40:20How many have we had so far?
00:40:22I think, like, ten?
00:40:24Fifteen? I don't know.
00:40:26I still have so many in the freezer.
00:40:28Wow. I think you're going to have enough meals to last you till noon.
00:40:30I think I'm set for meals
00:40:32until next Christmas.
00:40:34Oh.
00:40:36Oh, you've got to try this.
00:40:38So good?
00:40:40Yeah, the mac and cheese is amazing.
00:40:42Here.
00:40:44Yeah?
00:40:46Mmm. That is so good.
00:40:48You know, I think my furniture
00:40:50is actually back where I started.
00:40:52Oh.
00:40:54Well, you know,
00:40:56when things aren't going my way and I need a change in direction,
00:40:58I'll just go to the movies.
00:41:00To the movies?
00:41:02Yeah. I'll just sit alone in the dark and have a good cry.
00:41:04You cry at the movies?
00:41:06Yeah. At everything.
00:41:08Even the previews.
00:41:10You know the dancing box at Raisin Nights and the singing soda
00:41:12that reminded you to get snacks from the concession stand?
00:41:14Yeah.
00:41:16Gets me every time.
00:41:18Well, maybe I should give that a try
00:41:20instead of rearranging my furniture next time.
00:41:24I highly recommend it.
00:41:26Oh, there's an early delivery over at the house.
00:41:28I should get going.
00:41:30Go check it out.
00:41:32So thank you for everything.
00:41:34Appreciate it.
00:41:36Thanks for stopping by.
00:41:40Have a good night.
00:41:42You too.
00:41:44See you, Nicole.
00:41:46Bye.
00:41:52Thanks for your kind words.
00:41:54I want you to know
00:41:56I'm sorry for your loss.
00:42:00For months, the grief just overwhelmed me.
00:42:02But lately,
00:42:04something's changed in me.
00:42:06What changed?
00:42:10I realized that while my grief may never end,
00:42:12if I can take one step forward
00:42:14every day,
00:42:16my grief will not be a place
00:42:18where I stay very long.
00:42:22Remember, fight for your dreams.
00:42:24Because I promise you,
00:42:26it's those dreams that will light your darkest hours.
00:42:44I love you.
00:42:46I love you.
00:42:48I love you.
00:42:50I love you.
00:42:52I love you.
00:42:54I love you.
00:42:56I love you.
00:42:58I love you.
00:43:00I love you.
00:43:02I love you.
00:43:04I love you.
00:43:06I love you.
00:43:08I love you.
00:43:10I love you.
00:43:12I love you.
00:43:26Hey, I hope it's okay.
00:43:28I thought I could work a little later tonight.
00:43:30Can I have that, please?
00:43:32What?
00:43:34That.
00:43:36What? Oh, this?
00:43:38I just thought it was something I could get rid of.
00:43:40Left it where it was.
00:43:41It's okay, really.
00:43:42Um, just keep doing what you're doing.
00:43:44I'm sure it's great.
00:43:46Do you want to come inside and have a look around?
00:43:48Uh, I'm good.
00:43:49I should get going.
00:43:53I'm sure it's great.
00:43:55Really just great.
00:43:57I'm very grateful for everything you're doing.
00:44:00Bye.
00:44:11Oh.
00:44:16Need some help?
00:44:17Let me take a look.
00:44:18No, it's okay.
00:44:19Um, it's getting late.
00:44:20I'll just deal with it in the morning.
00:44:21Then let me give you a ride home.
00:44:23It's fine.
00:44:24It's not very far.
00:44:25I'm just going to walk.
00:44:26Then let me walk with you.
00:44:27You've already walked me home once.
00:44:29Then let me walk you home twice.
00:44:31I just have to put some tools away and lock up.
00:44:35Sure.
00:44:36I guess that's fine then.
00:44:41Oh.
00:44:46Check out these reindeers.
00:44:47They're so shiny.
00:44:48I wonder what kind of polish they use.
00:44:50Well, did you see the carolers next door?
00:44:52Whoa.
00:44:53Everywhere you look, it's like the spirit of Christmas is all around.
00:44:57I can't decide which house I like best.
00:44:59Mm.
00:45:00You know, when I was a little girl,
00:45:02every year my dad used to take me and Gail for a walk around the town.
00:45:06We would walk for hours.
00:45:08He wanted us to see how each house in the town was decorated.
00:45:11Mm.
00:45:12And Gail and I would pretend we were judges in the Olympics,
00:45:15and we'd give each house a score.
00:45:17Okay.
00:45:18Okay.
00:45:19So what kind of score would you give this house?
00:45:21Oh, well, this is the Watson house.
00:45:23Every year, 6.5.
00:45:24Only a 6.5?
00:45:25Yeah.
00:45:26I mean, crooked antlers on the reindeer.
00:45:29Oh, and then rusted Santa sleigh, got to take off two points.
00:45:32And then Rudolph with a tennis ball for a nose.
00:45:35I mean, that's got to be like a 1.5 deduction.
00:45:38Wow.
00:45:39At least.
00:45:41Okay.
00:45:43Hmm.
00:45:44What about this house?
00:45:45This is the Fraley's house, and I give it a 9.0.
00:45:50Really?
00:45:51A 9.0 for that?
00:45:53Well, actually, it's only really that high
00:45:56because one year, Mr. Fraley heard Gail and I give it a 5,
00:45:59and he actually complained to our parents.
00:46:02And I do not want a repeat of that.
00:46:03No.
00:46:04No, you do not.
00:46:06Okay.
00:46:08What about this house?
00:46:09Come on.
00:46:10No Blitzen.
00:46:12Blitzen.
00:46:13Blitzen, my favorite reindeer.
00:46:15No Blitzen, no perfect score.
00:46:17Tough critic.
00:46:18Me?
00:46:19You should see Gail's scores.
00:46:22Are you hungry?
00:46:31Don't tell me you've never had breakfast or dinner.
00:46:33I can't say I have.
00:46:35So do you make a habit out of eating breakfast for dinner?
00:46:38Oh, yeah.
00:46:39And dinner for breakfast.
00:46:40Ooh.
00:46:41Okay, so breakfast for dinner, dinner for breakfast.
00:46:43Mm-hmm.
00:46:44Every Christmas morning, my brother and I used to wake up at 4 a.m.
00:46:48and make spaghetti and meatballs for breakfast.
00:46:50It used to drive my mom nuts.
00:46:52Wow.
00:46:53So what about 4th of July?
00:46:56We celebrate on the 5th.
00:46:57Mm.
00:46:58And Thanksgiving?
00:46:59I mean, dare I ask, was there a turkey involved?
00:47:01Why on earth would we do something like that?
00:47:03Right.
00:47:05Has anyone ever told you you are a very unusual man, Joe Roberts?
00:47:09Only every other day of the week.
00:47:13Hey, I can make you my famous spaghetti and meatballs for breakfast one morning.
00:47:16At 4 a.m.?
00:47:18I don't think so.
00:47:19Okay.
00:47:20But thank you.
00:47:21Then I can cook you dinner sometime.
00:47:27Need anything else, folks?
00:47:28No, thanks.
00:47:29I think we're good.
00:47:31Hey, you work at the toy store, right?
00:47:33I do.
00:47:35You know, a couple of years ago, I bought my daughter this stuffed pelican at your store.
00:47:38You knitted the cutest sweater for it.
00:47:40It had candy canes all over it.
00:47:42Any chance you can make one for me?
00:47:44Oh, um, it's really just a hobby.
00:47:48Oh, well, if you change your mind, let me know.
00:47:50I showed that little sweater to the girls at my book club, and they all went nuts for it.
00:47:54I think you'd get a lot of orders.
00:47:58So?
00:48:00So?
00:48:01In your dream of selling your designs, having your own business, you said someday that could happen.
00:48:07Yeah, maybe someday.
00:48:09My father used to say, someday isn't a day of the week.
00:48:16Go ahead, try them.
00:48:19Okay.
00:48:21Here it goes.
00:48:24What do you think?
00:48:25What do you think?
00:48:26Mmm.
00:48:27Those are very good.
00:48:28Nice.
00:48:29What kind of score you give them those pancakes?
00:48:33A 9.5.
00:48:349 point whatever, those are a 10.
00:48:36Nope, none look better.
00:48:39You gotta have the butter.
00:48:41Hahaha.
00:48:485, 4, 3, 2, 1.
00:49:10I'm finding it very hard this time of year to feel all of the holiday joy everyone around me is feeling.
00:49:30Don't pack your holiday memories away.
00:49:33Cherish them.
00:49:34Embrace them.
00:49:35Let them into your heart.
00:49:41He's not here.
00:49:44He's gone to feel the vibe.
00:49:46What?
00:49:47He's at feel the vibe?
00:49:48I don't know what, but sums up with that man.
00:49:52Well, thank you, Rose.
00:49:53See ya.

00:50:50All right, let's get into this.
00:50:52What do we have here?
00:50:54Uh...
00:50:55What is this?
00:50:56A wine glass holder for the shower.
00:50:59Hey, Susan, this has your name written all over it.
00:51:01I love it. I need one just like that. Thank you.
00:51:03Uh, Phil, your turn.
00:51:04I'm gonna go ahead and steal Alan's Sleepy Kitty Chia Pet.
00:51:07Really?
00:51:08Hand it over.
00:51:09Really?
00:51:10Fine, then.
00:51:11I am gonna steal from Tom.
00:51:13But I really like these fuzzy reindeer slippers.
00:51:16They're not even your size, so...
00:51:18All right.
00:51:19All right, I'm gonna trade with Gail
00:51:23for her Christmas dashboard figurine set.
00:51:26And what do I get?
00:51:28Big, pink, sequined pillows.
00:51:33It's a matching set.
00:51:35Uh, Joe, did you pick?
00:51:37Oh, yes, and I am very happy with my scared Santa ornaments,
00:51:40so hands off, everyone.
00:51:42Well, one gift left.
00:51:43Nicole, your turn.
00:51:45Okay.
00:51:46Which one is it?
00:51:47Ooh, there we go.
00:51:51Oh, that is so beautiful.
00:51:55Oh, I love that.
00:51:57Where can I get one?
00:51:58Oh, you can't.
00:51:59Why?
00:52:00Oh, it's just a little something I made last night.
00:52:03It's nothing special.
00:52:04Nothing special?
00:52:05I changed my mind.
00:52:06I want to steal a sign from my wine holder.
00:52:08What?
00:52:09Yeah, it looked great in my store.
00:52:10No!
00:52:11It's not even your turn, Susan.
00:52:13Fine.
00:52:15I love my shower wine holder.
00:52:19Hey.
00:52:21Oh, hey.
00:52:24You know, I really like the sign that you made.
00:52:28I really like that sweater you're wearing.
00:52:30Did you make that?
00:52:31I did.
00:52:32It's nothing special.
00:52:34It is special, Nicole.
00:52:35It's very special.
00:52:38Tell you what, instead of paying me to renovate your house,
00:52:40how about you just make me two of those famous Nicole Grimm sweaters
00:52:43and we'll call it even.
00:52:46Yeah, I'm glad I met you, Joe.
00:52:48Does this mean we're becoming friends?
00:52:51I think we are.
00:52:54So what do you think the chances are that Phil turns over that sheet bed to me?
00:52:58Ooh, not a snowball chance.
00:53:00Attention, everyone.
00:53:01Alan has sat on my wine holder and broke it.
00:53:04I am demanding that he hand over the reindeer slippers.
00:53:07Okay?
00:53:10Are we all in agreement?
00:53:12Welcome to our friend group, Joe.
00:53:14All in favor, say aye.
00:53:15Aye.
00:53:16Aye.

00:53:40Hey, you need a ride?
00:53:42Uh, no, no, no.
00:53:44I don't mind walking.
00:53:45Thanks.
00:53:46Oh, come on.
00:53:47It just started to snow.
00:53:48Get in.
00:53:51Okay.
00:54:10Do you know this one?
00:54:16Because I do not.
00:54:17And I am going to sing it.
00:54:18Good King Wenceslas
00:54:21To the King of
00:54:24Sweden
00:54:26I'll be doobies, I'll be nerds, I'll be nerds
00:54:45I was thinking about you today.
00:54:47How are you doing?
00:54:49Pretty good.
00:54:50Lately, I think I've found some joy in my life.
00:54:53For the first time in a long time, I actually forgot about feeling sad.
00:55:00Just remember, a joyful heart will always chase away any sorrow.
00:55:23What flavor is my mask again?
00:55:37Eggnog.
00:55:38I'm going to be selling it at my store for the holidays.
00:55:40It's so good.
00:55:41Oh, don't eat it.
00:55:42Why?
00:55:43It tastes so good.
00:55:44I can't help it.
00:55:45Let it soak in.
00:55:46It's going to do wonders for your pores.
00:55:48I'm so glad we're doing this.
00:55:50Me too.
00:55:52This last year has been so hard.
00:55:55I really missed you, Nicole.
00:55:57It's not been the same without you.
00:55:59I think Joe Roberts has been a really good thing for your life.
00:56:02What does that mean?
00:56:05Um, just that he's, you know, a good guy to have around.
00:56:10What?
00:56:11Wait, no, no, no.
00:56:12What does this look?
00:56:13This, this, this.
00:56:15Nothing.
00:56:16Okay, good, because Joe and I are just friends.
00:56:19That's all.
00:56:20I bet.
00:56:22We are.
00:56:24You can even ask him.
00:56:25Uh-huh.
00:56:26You know what?
00:56:27I am in no way ready to start dating yet, okay?
00:56:29Especially not with that podiatrist or whoever that you're trying to set up with.
00:56:32Orthodontist.
00:56:33Okay.
00:56:34And Gary Jankowski is, hmm, everything.
00:56:37Uh, so is Joe Roberts.
00:56:40That's right.
00:56:41Stop it, Gail.
00:56:42You're being annoying.
00:56:44Oh.
00:56:46What?
00:56:49All right.
00:56:50You can dish it out to Nicole.
00:56:51Oh!
00:56:52Oh!
00:56:53Oh!
00:56:54Ladies, ladies, come on.
00:56:56Let's keep it together here, okay?
00:56:59You know what, Susan?
00:57:00You're annoying, too.
00:57:01Oh!
00:57:02Oh!
00:57:03Oh!
00:57:04Oh!
00:57:05Oh!
00:57:06Oh!
00:57:07Oh!
00:57:08Oh!
00:57:09Oh!
00:57:10Oh!
00:57:11Oh!
00:57:12Oh!
00:57:13Oh!
00:57:14Oh!
00:57:15Oh!
00:57:16Oh!
00:57:17Oh!
00:57:18Oh!
00:57:19Oh!
00:57:20Oh!
00:57:21Oh!
00:57:22Oh!
00:57:23Oh!
00:57:24Oh!
00:57:25Oh!
00:57:26Oh!
00:57:27Oh!
00:57:28Oh!
00:57:29Oh!
00:57:30Oh!

00:59:40Oh!
00:59:41Oh!
00:59:43Okay.
00:59:46It's beauty.
01:00:13I wanted to thank you for helping me with my grief.
01:00:17I know you understand what I'm going through.
01:00:23Grief comes and goes.
01:00:25It shows up at unexpected times.
01:00:28Talking to you made me feel I'm not alone.
01:00:31It brings me feelings of comfort and peace when I need it most.
01:00:36I was thinking, maybe we should meet.
01:00:40Meet?
01:00:42Yeah.
01:00:50Hey, Helen.
01:00:51Nicole!
01:00:52Hi!
01:00:53Hey!
01:00:54I was just picking up some lunch for Pops.
01:00:56But I think he's over the turkey sandwiches now.
01:00:58I don't know.
01:00:59He's been so picky lately.
01:01:00Yes, I know how that is.
01:01:02Think he'll go for tuna on wheat?
01:01:04Pops?
01:01:05Yeah.
01:01:07I'm heading over there now to bring him some lunch.
01:01:10Oh!
01:01:11Oh, I was just about to pick him up lunch like I usually do.
01:01:15But if you're going...
01:01:16I got this, Nicole.
01:01:18I promise I'll take good care of him.
01:01:20I know you will, Helen.
01:01:24Oh, um, no pickles.
01:01:26Pickles?
01:01:27Yeah.
01:01:28Okay.
01:01:29Oh, and nothing on sourdough.
01:01:32What about avocado?
01:01:34Avocado on a sandwich?
01:01:35Who thinks of these crazy ideas?
01:01:38Good luck.
01:01:41Thanks.
01:01:55Pops?
01:01:56Yeah?
01:01:57Hi!
01:01:58Oh, hi.
01:01:59I just wanted to drop this off.
01:02:00Oh, honey.
01:02:01Hi.
01:02:02Come in, come in.
01:02:03Are you wearing cologne?
01:02:04Yes, I am.
01:02:05I see.
01:02:07Sit down, sit down.
01:02:11Pops?
01:02:12Yeah?
01:02:14How do you move on from the love of your life?
01:02:18Oh, um...
01:02:21Well...
01:02:23Margaret was my first love.
01:02:25And...
01:02:27The love doesn't go anyplace.
01:02:29It just finds a new place deep in your heart.
01:02:33I haven't given up on love, Nicole.
01:02:36I might have been a little late, but I came to realize...
01:02:39If you're given a second chance at love, you better grab it with both hands.
01:02:44I really like her, Pops.
01:02:46Me too.
01:02:47Okay.
01:02:48What?
01:02:49No!
01:02:50You have to wait till Christmas morning.
01:02:51At my age?
01:02:52Why wait?
01:02:58Oh, honey.
01:03:02I love this.
01:03:03I'm so glad you like it.
01:03:05I love it when you make me things.
01:03:08I still have the gloves you made for me when you were a little girl.
01:03:12Oh, Pops.
01:03:13Those had seven fingers.
01:03:14You can throw those away now.
01:03:15Oh, no.
01:03:16They're easier to put on.
01:03:18Okay, here.
01:03:22Here.
01:03:23What's this?
01:03:24My gift to you.
01:03:26Well, I want to wait till Christmas morning to open mine.
01:03:28What?
01:03:30Okay, fine.
01:03:31Maybe just a quick peek.
01:03:38Grandma's pin?
01:03:39Yeah.
01:03:41Oh, Pops, I can't take this.
01:03:44I want you to have it.
01:03:47I will cherish it forever.
01:03:51That's why I'm giving it to you.
01:03:57Merry Christmas, honey.
01:03:58Merry Christmas.
01:04:06Hey.
01:04:07So I made you your favorite, mac and cheese.
01:04:10Just fire up the oven to 350, put on another pair of sweats, and you'll be good to go.
01:04:16Whoa.
01:04:18Goodbye sweats.
01:04:20Hey, I got this from Susan's shop.
01:04:22I'm meeting someone tonight.
01:04:25Let me guess.
01:04:26Are you meeting Joe?
01:04:28No, not Joe.
01:04:29It's actually someone you don't know.
01:04:31Well, I don't really know them either.
01:04:33It's just someone who's been helping me through some things.
01:04:35You know, helping me through my grief and some stuff that I've been carrying around.
01:04:39It's hard to explain.
01:04:40This is a good thing.
01:04:42It's a very good thing.
01:04:44I'm so happy for you that there's someone out there that you can share your feelings with.
01:04:49These past 12 months, there hasn't been a single minute of the day that I haven't had a knot in my stomach.
01:04:57I'm so worried about you, Nick.
01:04:59Hey, I'm going to be okay.
01:05:02All right?
01:05:03So don't worry about me anymore.
01:05:05Really.
01:05:06I'm going to be okay.
01:05:10Careful.
01:05:11You don't want to smudge your lipstick before you meet your Mr. Hale.
01:05:14Gail, don't even go there.
01:05:15Oh, I'm going there.
01:05:17Goodbye.
01:05:19Have fun.
01:05:36Oh, Nicole.
01:05:39You leaving?
01:05:42Yeah, I'm meeting someone.
01:05:45Oh, anyway, I just thought I'd come by and take a look at those shelves.
01:05:49But if you're busy, I can come back another time.
01:05:51Sounds good.
01:05:56Night.
01:05:57Yeah.
01:05:58Night.
01:06:06What was that?
01:06:08A goodnight kiss.
01:06:09A goodnight kiss with a question mark?
01:06:12A what?
01:06:13Because that felt like a kiss without a question mark.
01:06:17I'm sorry.
01:06:18I thought since we're friends now that I would...
01:06:21You would what?
01:06:22Just turn a question mark into an exclamation point?
01:06:25Yeah.
01:06:27Wait.
01:06:28Where are you going?
01:06:29To meet a friend.
01:06:30And he is just a friend.
01:06:31No question mark.
01:06:32Well, yeah, that's great that you have so many friends.
01:06:34And I suggest that you should go meet a friend as well.
01:06:38Well, it just so happens I am meeting a friend.
01:06:40Exclamation point.
01:06:41Good.
01:06:42Yeah.
01:06:46I didn't mean to do that.
01:06:48You didn't mean that question mark?
01:06:49Because to me that felt like two exclamations.
01:06:52Say hi to your friend for me.
01:06:54My friend?
01:06:55Friend.
01:06:56Quotation marks.
01:07:05Bye.
01:07:24Something's come up.
01:07:25I can't meet you.
01:07:27I'm so sorry.
01:07:29Wow.
01:07:31That's a small world, huh?
01:07:34Well, you know, I think you should tell her.
01:07:37You know me, Teddy.
01:07:38I can't.
01:07:39Why?
01:07:40She'll understand.
01:07:42I like her, Ted.
01:07:44You know, in the beginning she was someone who was grieving.
01:07:46And I was someone there with a shoulder to lean on.
01:07:51Became friends.
01:07:52And through texting we found out that grief shared.
01:07:55It was grief lessened.
01:07:56But, Ted, I swear, when I went to the restaurant last night,
01:08:00I had no clue it was her.
01:08:02And at first I was really happy that it was her.
01:08:04When I saw her sitting there, she just looked so beautiful
01:08:07waiting for the man who helped put all her broken pieces
01:08:10back together.
01:08:11But I couldn't walk through that door.
01:08:13I couldn't take another step and tell her it was me.
01:08:15Why not?
01:08:16I mean, how could she ever trust me again?
01:08:18She knew that I was the one she was pouring her heart out to.
01:08:21I was the one that was encouraging her.
01:08:23Last thing I'd ever want to do after everything she's been through
01:08:25is cause her any more pain.
01:08:28How could she ever believe that I didn't know?
01:08:31Yeah.
01:08:33So what are you going to do?
01:08:39Carry that for me, please.
01:08:47Wait, so he just didn't show up?
01:08:49No.
01:08:50I waited and waited, and then I got a text saying that he couldn't come.
01:08:54Oh.
01:08:55Well, so you make another plan.
01:08:57Oh, I don't know.
01:08:58I mean, it was hard enough to get myself to go in the first place.
01:09:01Nick.
01:09:02Hey.
01:09:03Hey, there you are.
01:09:04Uh, so listen.
01:09:06Jill wanted me to give you this.
01:09:08Oh.
01:09:15Nicole,
01:09:17Nicole,
01:09:18I took another job out of town.
01:09:19Sorry I can't do your shelves.
01:09:21Merry Christmas, Joe.
01:09:47Hey, I just wanted to clear the rest of this stuff out before I took off.
01:09:51Thanks.
01:09:52Well, anyway, I'm sorry.
01:09:56I gotta go, but, you know, other job.
01:10:00Sure, I understand.
01:10:03But before you go,
01:10:06will you show me the house?
01:10:12You want to go in?
01:10:14Yeah.
01:10:16I'm ready to do that now.
01:10:47What do you think?
01:10:50It's perfect.
01:11:11Well, I better get going.
01:11:14Merry Christmas, Nick.
01:11:16Merry Christmas, Joe.
01:11:20Joe, wait.
01:11:22Um,
01:11:25I just would very much like to have you in my life.
01:11:30Sure, Nick.
01:11:32Sure.
01:11:43Okay.
01:11:44Okay.
01:11:46Okay.
01:12:12Hey, Teddy, it's Nicole.
01:12:14Uh, Joe left his phone at my house today,
01:12:17and I don't think I'll be seeing him anytime soon,
01:12:19so I was wondering if you could get it to him.
01:12:22Um, I will leave it in an envelope at the shop for you.
01:12:25All right. Thanks, Teddy. Bye.
01:12:30What?
01:12:31Hmm.
01:12:39I was disappointed I didn't get to meet you the other night.
01:12:42I just wanted to tell you how thankful I am to you,
01:12:45so I guess I'll do that now.
01:12:47Thank you for letting me lean on you.
01:12:49I will always be grateful.
01:13:20I know it was you.
01:13:31Just sign here, and it's all yours.
01:13:33Wow.
01:13:35I am so happy for you.
01:13:38I mean, it's always been a dream of mine to own a toy store.
01:13:41What about you? What's next?
01:13:50Knicks Knits?
01:13:52Are you opening an online store?
01:13:54Yeah. I figured, why not?
01:13:57You remember Kim from Unique Styles?
01:13:59I gave her a bunch of my designs,
01:14:01and she sold out of them in ten days.
01:14:04It made me realize that, yeah, maybe I could turn this into a business.
01:14:08And I also realized
01:14:10you don't have to see the full staircase to take the first step.
01:14:15I'm so proud of you, Nick.
01:14:17You know you've always been my role model?
01:14:19Me?
01:14:20Yeah.
01:14:21This last year, everything you've been through,
01:14:24you never let it defeat you.
01:14:27You made me realize what true strength is.
01:14:30Thank you, Teddy.
01:14:40You knew, didn't you?
01:14:42Knew what?
01:14:43About Joe.
01:14:45Texting me.
01:14:47Look, I told him to tell you, Nick.
01:14:50I did.
01:14:53He's not a bad guy.
01:14:55He didn't even know it was you until he showed up at that restaurant and saw you sitting there.
01:14:58That's just the thing.
01:15:00He could have walked right in and told me then.
01:15:03But instead, he let the guy who helped me through my grief
01:15:07just leave me there, feeling alone and confused.
01:15:11I've known Joe a long time.
01:15:14And he's someone who knows about loss.
01:15:17Knows how fragile people are.
01:15:19And he just, he didn't want to hurt you.
01:15:21But he did.
01:15:23By not telling me the truth, he hurt me.
01:15:28Nicole, just ask yourself this.
01:15:32Did he help you?
01:15:35Because the way I see it, you're a new person now.
01:15:39You're filled with life and joy again.
01:15:43So he must have said something right.
01:16:01Hey.
01:16:02Hey.
01:16:03Hey.
01:16:04I'm sorry.
01:16:06Of all the people in the world who could have gotten Henry's number,
01:16:10what are the odds that it would be you?
01:16:13I mean, if that's not a Christmas miracle, I don't know what is.
01:16:17I wanted to tell you.
01:16:18But you didn't.
01:16:20I never meant to hurt you.
01:16:21I would never hurt you.
01:16:23I can't figure you out, Joe.
01:16:25Which guy are you?
01:16:27The one who turns his back and leaves?
01:16:30Or the one who was the only person who seemed to understand
01:16:34everything I was going through?
01:16:37I am that guy, Nick.
01:16:39I am.
01:16:40I meant every single thing I wrote.
01:16:42Just wanted you to move past your grief, to live your best life,
01:16:46and I want to live that best life with you.
01:16:50I...
01:16:51We can start over.
01:16:54We can't.
01:16:55Why not?
01:16:57Because I don't know if I can trust you.
01:17:14Finally, you're here.
01:17:16Hi.
01:17:17Is he here?
01:17:18I told you, he called and said he's not coming.
01:17:21Okay.
01:17:23I know that you're really upset about everything that happened with Joe,
01:17:26but do you think you could just put it aside just for one day,
01:17:29maybe try to forget about everything besides?
01:17:32Today is my annual Christmas scavenger hunt,
01:17:34and you know what that means.
01:17:37It's all about being with the people who love you.
01:17:40And about having some fun, okay?
01:17:42Okay.
01:17:43You gonna have some fun?
01:17:44Yes.
01:17:45Okay.
01:17:46Where is everyone?
01:17:47In the backyard.
01:17:48The backyard?
01:17:49Well, it's a scavenger hunt.
01:17:50Where else would they be?
01:17:51Susan, it's 25 degrees outside.
01:17:54I made cocoa.
01:17:55I can't believe you're making us go outside.
01:17:57Come on.
01:18:04It's so cold out.
01:18:06Bit of a nip in the air.
01:18:07Quite frankly, I find it invigorating.
01:18:09Can we please go inside?
01:18:11No, we still haven't found the wrapped present.
01:18:15Nicole, can you help Alan find the wrapped present?
01:18:18I would rather go inside and wait for the cheese board.
01:18:20That's against the rules.
01:18:21Please help Alan find the present.
01:18:23Go ahead.
01:18:24You're so bossy.
01:18:26You're just realizing this now?
01:18:29You want to talk about it?
01:18:31Not really.
01:18:34You know, he should have told me when he found out
01:18:36that I was the one he was sending those texts to.
01:18:41And just because he didn't tell you,
01:18:43does that make those words any less beautiful?
01:18:47Oh, you found it.
01:18:48Yeah, I see it.
01:18:49We're all just stumbling through this life
01:18:51trying to figure things out.
01:18:53Then we fall down, then we get back up again.
01:18:57Everyone makes mistakes, Meg.
01:19:00Don't let that be the reason to give up on somebody.
01:19:07Oh, there it is.
01:19:09Up.
01:19:11Up, here we go.
01:19:13Got it.
01:19:15Open it.
01:19:19It's in the rules.
01:19:20Okay.
01:19:29It's my house.
01:19:32It looks exactly like my house.
01:19:37Joe made it for you.
01:19:39So that saying is that you're selling your house,
01:19:42you should at least have something to always remember it.
01:19:50Teddy, where is he?
01:20:20Oh, my God.
01:20:51You're here.
01:20:54You did all of this?
01:20:57I thought the lights could maybe help sell the house.
01:21:02I'm not selling the house.
01:21:05I'm not selling the house.
01:21:08I'm not selling the house.
01:21:11I'm not selling the house.
01:21:14I'm not selling the house.
01:21:17I'm not selling the house.
01:21:20No?
01:21:21No.
01:21:23Because of you, I am going to wake up every Christmas morning
01:21:28in the beautiful house that you built.
01:21:31Because of you, I found someone to lean on when I couldn't heal myself.
01:21:38Oh, I'm sorry. I should have told you when I first realized it.
01:21:41No, I didn't.
01:21:43I spent the last year of my life only thinking about what happened,
01:21:49playing it over and over in my head again and again.
01:21:55I was stuck, but then you came into my life,
01:22:00and you showed me how to push forward,
01:22:04how to move past what happened before
01:22:07and focus on what's happening right here, right now.
01:22:12And what exactly is happening right now.
01:22:19Wait. Wait.
01:22:38So, what school would you give that kiss?
01:22:41I'd say a 9.5.
01:22:43A 9.5?
01:22:45Well, kiss me again and let's make it a 10.
01:23:12Okay.
01:23:31Seriously?
01:23:41I'm not your younger brother.
01:23:48I'm not your younger brother.
01:23:52You're my main character.
01:24:00I don't know if I can do it.
01:24:07Oh, come on.
01:24:12Go ahead, tell me.
01:24:14Let's say I'm your elder brother.
01:24:17I'm not your younger brother.
01:24:21Okay.
01:24:24I don't know if you're even my younger brother.
01:24:27That's why I'm not letting you go.
01:24:29What do you mean you're not my younger brother?
01:24:33I don't know if you're even my younger brother.
01:24:36That's why I'm not letting you go.
01:24:38I'm not sure about it.
01:24:40It's good.
01:24:42It's good.
01:24:44It's so hard.
01:24:46You guys don't understand anything.
01:24:48If you don't let us eat, we'll get sick.
01:24:50We don't have enough food.
01:24:52What are you doing?
01:24:54You don't understand anything.
01:24:56If you don't let us eat, we'll get sick.
01:24:58We'll get sick.
01:25:00What are you doing?
01:25:02Eat it.
