00:00:33Oh, the storm's really picking up.
00:00:36Since you're here...
00:00:39try this.
00:00:40I've been working on it all week.
00:00:41I think I finally had a breakthrough.
00:00:44Mmm.
00:00:46It's really good.
00:00:48It needs more nutmeg.
00:00:49I liked it.
00:00:50Well, I need you to love it.
00:00:52Okay, I have a few more gingerbread elves to prep,
00:00:54and then I should be ready to go in about 15 minutes.
00:00:57Okay.
00:00:58Ugh.
00:00:59I didn't realize how late it was.
00:01:02M-My mom's been here since 4 a.m.,
00:01:04and I told her I'd finish up.
00:01:06I am so sorry, Tyler.
00:01:08Don't be.
00:01:10Shouldn't you be with the band?
00:01:12I promised you a dance.
00:01:14Here.
00:01:15Why not?
00:01:16I'm covered in flour.

00:02:22You got it?
00:02:23Yes.
00:02:24Awesome.
00:02:26Okay.
00:02:28Yeah, look at that.
00:02:31What do you think?
00:02:33It's crooked.
00:02:34Yeah.
00:02:35But maybe we could, like, add ornaments to that side,

00:02:53Hi, Mom.
00:02:55Got your message.
00:02:56We've just been so busy here.
00:02:58Did I tell you we agreed to cater the snowball?
00:03:01No.
00:03:02Wow, do you have enough staff for that?
00:03:04Well, your sister's flying in on Wednesday,
00:03:06and I was hoping I could count on you to throw on an apron.
00:03:09For old times' sake.
00:03:11Mom, I decided that Will and I
00:03:15are going to spend Christmas here in Boston.
00:03:19When did you decide that?
00:03:21I've been considering it for a while,
00:03:23and I got some time off from the bank,
00:03:25and I made all these plans for Will and I this week.
00:03:31Well, it won't be the same without you both.
00:03:34Well, maybe you could come up here for New Year's.
00:03:36We have a guest bedroom with your name on it.
00:03:40Catherine, it's been two years since Tyler's funeral.
00:03:47It's time to come home, hon.
00:03:49Next year. I promise.
00:03:54We're not going to Grandma's?
00:03:58Uh, well, you know, sweetie, I thought about it,
00:04:00and I thought you and I could have so much fun,
00:04:02just the two of us here in the city.
00:04:04But we didn't go last year.
00:04:06Right, but...
00:04:08We have so many activities planned.
00:04:10I mean, come on. What?
00:04:1225 reasons we're going to have the best Christmas ever?
00:04:16Can I just go back to my room?
00:04:20You don't want to help me finish decorating the tree?
00:04:24Uh, no, thanks. I'm tired.
00:04:28Well, we did carry a Christmas tree three blocks.
00:04:31Four.
00:04:33Yeah, of course you can. I'll finish it.
00:04:36Thanks.
00:05:06You're welcome.
00:05:37Hello?
00:05:39Hi, Mom.
00:05:42Do you have room for two more?
00:05:45I'm coming home.
00:05:47Hi, Mom.
00:05:49Do you have room for two more?
00:05:52I'm coming home.
00:06:17Oh, oh, oh, that...
00:06:19Nope, that's... that's not mine.
00:06:23I'm so sorry. I thought...
00:06:26Yeah, I should...
00:06:28I should probably cut down on the caffeine anyway.
00:06:31The 1115 departure is now boarding on track...
00:06:34Okay, let's go.
00:06:40I believe this is our seat.
00:06:43You want the window or the...?
00:06:45Answer that question.
00:06:50Thank you. I really appreciate that.
00:06:52You're welcome.
00:06:54Ah!
00:06:56If it isn't my mystery patron.
00:06:59Oh, come on. I should find my seat.
00:07:02Right. Excuse me.
00:07:04Yeah.
00:07:14Looks like this is me.
00:07:32Did you draw that?
00:07:34It's nothing. It's just a quick sketch.
00:07:37You can sell yourself short. That is really good.
00:07:40Thanks.
00:07:42Hey. Welcome to Border Holiday Express, you guys.
00:07:45Can I interest you in one of our signature holiday cookies?
00:07:48Yeah, we'll take two. Thank you.
00:07:50Make that three.
00:07:52What? Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:07:54Don't worry about it. It's on you.
00:08:00You're welcome.
00:08:02Thank you so much.
00:08:06That can't be right.
00:08:08It is.
00:08:10Are you sure? I'm sure. I promise.
00:08:12No. Jack doesn't believe me that it's ten pipers piping.
00:08:16Jack?
00:08:18He thinks it's ten drummers drumming.
00:08:22Right.
00:08:24It's ten Lord the Leaping.
00:08:27Wow.
00:08:30You're both wrong.
00:08:32You know that, though, right?
00:08:34I have been singing that in public for days.
00:08:40I'm sorry.
00:08:42You put the eight on the nine and then flip this one.
00:09:10Mm-hmm.
00:09:12Oh, and then there's another.
00:09:16Flips.
00:09:18You a musician?
00:09:20Professionally, no.
00:09:22I picked that thing up a couple years ago.
00:09:24I was going through something a bit rough.
00:09:28I'd heard music was good for the soul.
00:09:30Saw it in a store window.
00:09:32I haven't put it down since.
00:09:34Did it help?
00:09:36It did.
00:09:39I think my neighbors would really appreciate the fact I didn't pick the drum set.
00:09:43That's true.
00:09:48Okay.
00:09:50So where are you headed?
00:09:52Uh, we're going home.
00:09:54For Christmas.
00:09:56I'm gonna spend time with my family. He's really excited about it.
00:09:58Are you?
00:10:00It's complicated.
00:10:02But not so complicated that I want to pour my heart out to a stranger on the train.
00:10:08Why not? Those are the best people to pour your heart out to.
00:10:10No baggage, no judgment, never have to see me again.
00:10:14I don't suppose that's true, but I'll stick to solitaire.
00:10:18Fair enough.
00:10:20What about you? Where are you headed?
00:10:22Uh, going to see an old friend.
00:10:26Uh, I just realized I don't know your name.
00:10:30It's Catherine, but my friends call me Cat.
00:10:32Pleased to meet you, Catherine.
00:10:34Look, I just, I can't assume we're friends until after our second partner's solitaire game.
00:10:42Fair enough.
00:10:44I'm so sorry.
00:10:46You should have woken me up. I didn't mean to use you as a pillow.
00:10:54I'm sorry.
00:10:56You look peaceful.
00:10:58I'm not.
00:11:00I'm not.
00:11:02I'm not.
00:11:04I'm not.
00:11:06I'm not.
00:11:08I'm not.
00:11:10I'm not.
00:11:12You look peaceful.
00:11:16And it gave me a chance to steal your book.
00:11:20It's a great addition.
00:11:22Yeah.
00:11:24It was a gift.
00:11:26You're welcome to read it.
00:11:34Mom.
00:11:36We have to leave.
00:11:38What?
00:11:40Look.
00:11:42He...
00:11:44Already left.
00:11:46Let's go.
00:11:58Watch your step.
00:12:04There they are!
00:12:06Oh!
00:12:08Hi, Dad.
00:12:10Oh, honey.
00:12:12Hi, baby.
00:12:14Hi, Mom. How are you?
00:12:16I'm well.
00:12:18She's finding a store.
00:12:20Let me take this.
00:12:22Tell me all about it.
00:12:24Thanks for coming to get us.
00:12:26Really appreciate it.
00:12:28Catherine, you've got your old room.
00:12:32Will, let me show you where you're going to stay.
00:12:38Okay.
00:12:54Mom, where are my gloves?
00:12:58Oh, I'm sorry.
00:13:00That's okay.
00:13:02Dad.
00:13:04I'll take care of that.
00:13:06Okay.
00:13:36Sandy.
00:13:38Hi, Beth. How are you?
00:13:40I'm good.
00:13:42Are you still taking Christmas pre-orders?
00:13:44Oh, I'm sorry.
00:13:46We closed the list on Monday.
00:13:48Shoot.
00:13:50We're hosting this year,
00:13:52and Paul's side of the family
00:13:54has been dreaming
00:13:56of your Christmas croissants
00:13:58since Thanksgiving.
00:14:00How about a half dozen?
00:14:02Oh!
00:14:04You're a saint.
00:14:06Your mother's an absolute saint.
00:14:08Oh, I know.
00:14:10Thank you. Bye-bye.
00:14:12Mom, you're doing the snowball
00:14:14and you're still taking single orders?
00:14:16Of course.
00:14:18We're part of too many family traditions, honey.
00:14:20Ha-ha-ha.
00:14:34Chestnuts roasting
00:14:36on an open fire
00:14:40Jack Frost
00:14:42nipping at your nose
00:14:44Kat?
00:14:46Hi.
00:14:48It's you?
00:14:50I didn't know you were in town.
00:14:52Last-minute decision.
00:14:54How are you?
00:14:56Getting better.
00:14:58If you need anything, anything at all,
00:15:00you know I'm just a phone call away.
00:15:04What's all that?
00:15:06I promised your mother I would bring by
00:15:08the menu and allergy lists for the snowball.
00:15:10I'm in charge this year.
00:15:12We're going all out.
00:15:14I even managed to get the band back together.
00:15:16Wouldn't be much of a trio.
00:15:18Oh, of course.
00:15:20Thankfully, I was able to find a replacement.
00:15:22Although, no one could ever replace Tyler.
00:15:24So, is Teddy
00:15:26filling in?
00:15:28No. He was deployed over the summer.
00:15:30He won't be back until the new year.
00:15:32I'm sorry.
00:15:34Yeah. Helps to stay busy.
00:15:36Do you have any plans tonight?
00:15:38No.
00:15:40You do now. Everyone's home for the holiday.
00:15:42We're all going to Danson's at 8. You should come.
00:15:44Hi. Um, hi.
00:15:46And just in time. This yule log is starting to look
00:15:48like a yule stump. Hi.
00:15:50Hi.
00:15:52I missed you so much.
00:15:54I missed you too. I'm glad Mom finally got you to come home
00:15:56for Christmas. What changed your mind?
00:15:58Whoa. How is he?
00:16:00Doing well. I mean,
00:16:02he doesn't really open up to me anymore.
00:16:04I feel like I'm always walking on eggshells around him.
00:16:06It's going to take some time.
00:16:08Christmas is hard
00:16:10because Tyler always made it so special
00:16:12for him, you know? I know.
00:16:14Well, we're all here to help.
00:16:16You don't have to do it alone.
00:16:18I know Provincetown holds a lot of
00:16:20memories for you, but
00:16:22I think it could be good for him.
00:16:24Could be good for you too.
00:16:30How was the train ride?
00:16:32Long.
00:16:34We hung a stocking for you.
00:16:36I appreciate it.
00:16:38Unless you're going to fill it
00:16:40with coal. I should.
00:16:42Serves you right for spending Christmas in another
00:16:44time zone. I promise I'll make it
00:16:46back for New Year's. It's not going to be
00:16:48the same, and you know it.
00:16:50We're going to miss you, Jay.
00:16:52I'm going to miss you too, but this is something
00:16:54I need to do. I know it is,
00:16:56but if you don't find...
00:16:58I'm going to.
00:17:02I put it off for too long, Nora.
00:17:04I can't wait any longer.
00:17:06Well, I'll expect updates.
00:17:08You'll get them.
00:17:22You made it!
00:17:24Yeah, of course.
00:17:26Kat, I'd like you
00:17:28to meet... Jack.
00:17:30You know each other?
00:17:32No. Yes.
00:17:34I mean, we met on the train.
00:17:36Jack is
00:17:38the guitarist I was telling you about.
00:17:40He's the one filling in with the band.
00:17:44Small world.
00:17:54So, how long have you two known each other?
00:17:56A couple hours.
00:17:58Give or take.
00:18:00I posted a message on the VA's
00:18:02online community board looking for a
00:18:04guitarist. Jack answered.
00:18:06He works for the USO.
00:18:08Wow. You know, I'm going to go
00:18:10check on our food.
00:18:16Of all the gin joints
00:18:18and all the towns and all the world,
00:18:20she... Stop it. Provincetown is hardly
00:18:22Casablanca. And technically
00:18:24speaking, you walked into mine.
00:18:26Right.
00:18:28So, USO?
00:18:30I enlisted right out of high school,
00:18:32and got injured a few years back,
00:18:34so it was another way to serve
00:18:36my country, just different.
00:18:40You were in the service? Army.
00:18:42Two tours.
00:18:44You look surprised.
00:18:48How was your friend?
00:18:50Didn't you say you were
00:18:52meeting someone in town? Right.
00:18:54No, I haven't seen him yet.
00:18:56Why not?
00:18:58There she is. Roger!
00:19:00Wow. Kat.
00:19:02Look at you. I hardly recognize you.
00:19:04Nice.
00:19:06Jack, this is Roger.
00:19:08Roger. Jack.
00:19:10You must be the guitarist. Yes.
00:19:12Welcome aboard. Thank you.
00:19:14Roger is the drummer in the band,
00:19:16and he's Provincetown's finest.
00:19:18I want to hear all about
00:19:20Boston.
00:19:24Do you need a ride? No, I'm
00:19:26staying at an inn here off the main road.
00:19:28There's a blinker, I think. Oh, yeah.
00:19:30It's just down the stop sign, and you make a right.
00:19:32Thanks. Mm-hmm. I'll see you tomorrow.
00:19:38Something on your mind?
00:19:40I just wonder what would make someone want to spend
00:19:42Christmas with strangers.
00:19:44Decently getting it, Kat.
00:19:46Maybe he just doesn't have anywhere else to go.
00:19:52Hey. So,
00:19:54I have a favor to ask.
00:19:56You put me on the decorating committee
00:19:58for the dance, and I thought
00:20:00maybe you could help me.
00:20:02My help? Well, I don't have your artistic eye.
00:20:06Besides, I thought it'd be fun. I thought it was
00:20:08something we could do together.
00:20:12It'll be fun.
00:20:18Promise.
00:20:20I knew I could count on you.
00:20:22This speaker
00:20:24should go to the left of the stage.
00:20:26Hey, Maggie.
00:20:28Hey, Kat, Will.
00:20:30So happy you're here. Oh, yeah.
00:20:32We are ready to work. Follow me.
00:20:34These will be our stage
00:20:36decorations. Most have already been cut.
00:20:38They just need a coat of paint.
00:20:40The brushes are right here.
00:20:42There are smocks if you need them,
00:20:44and extra tarps over there.
00:20:46So, I'll leave you to it.
00:20:48Great. Just let me know if you need anything else.
00:20:50There's only
00:20:52green and white.
00:20:54Yeah, right.
00:20:56When I asked you to help with this,
00:20:58I kind of thought it was going to require a little more creativity,
00:21:00but don't worry. Don't panic.
00:21:02I have an idea. I can fix this.
00:21:04I know where the supply closet is.
00:21:06I bet they have tons more collars back there.
00:21:08All right. Stay right there.
00:21:10I'll fix this. All right.
00:21:20Hi, Jack.
00:21:22Hi.
00:21:26Uh,
00:21:28are these servicemen and women
00:21:30from town? Yeah.
00:21:32You have a lot of them. Well, there's a base
00:21:34about 20 minutes away.
00:21:36Generations of military families
00:21:38have set root here.
00:21:40But it's not all of them, right?
00:21:42I mean, if every person who earned a patch on their arm
00:21:44was up here on this wall,
00:21:46we would need a much bigger wall.
00:21:48That's my dad.
00:21:50Wow.
00:21:52Are you looking for someone?
00:21:54No, just...
00:21:56caught my eye.
00:22:00Okay.
00:22:02Get back to work.
00:22:14Hey, does the library
00:22:16still do the snowman contest?
00:22:18I think so. I'm not sure.
00:22:20I think it was last week.
00:22:22Hey, I saw that. You're gonna ruin your dinner.
00:22:26Mmm.
00:22:28If you're looking for something to do,
00:22:30Rink has holiday open skate every afternoon
00:22:32until Christmas Eve.
00:22:34Oh, that's awesome. I found the second box of lights.
00:22:36I'm gonna put them up.
00:22:38I thought you were done with the roof.
00:22:40Now I have enough for the garage.
00:22:42Hey!
00:22:44Oh, shit.
00:22:46You know, this is half a page.
00:22:48This is plenty of fun stuff for Will and I to do.
00:22:50I'm gonna go ask him.
00:22:52He's not in his room.
00:22:54Where is he?
00:23:02Hey, Will!
00:23:04Think you need these?
00:23:06Ha!
00:23:08What you working on?
00:23:10A fort.
00:23:12Just for snow.
00:23:14You need some help?
00:23:16Uh, no, I can do it.
00:23:18Okay.
00:23:20Well, don't take too long
00:23:22because dinner's almost ready.
00:23:24I won't.
00:23:36♪ The cookies are in the oven ♪
00:23:40♪ You can almost taste the air ♪
00:23:44♪ And it warms my heart to feel her love ♪
00:23:48♪ Tells me that she cares ♪
00:23:52♪ It's funny how going by ♪
00:23:58♪ Can get you back where you belong ♪
00:24:00I always forget that one.
00:24:02It's okay.
00:24:04Did you do something? We'll get there.
00:24:06Uh, you know what? I'm gonna go get the lyrics.
00:24:08Okay.
00:24:14So Maggie said your band
00:24:16used to always play this show?
00:24:18Tyler's idea.
00:24:20He found out they were paying a band to perform.
00:24:22Thought that money should be put right back into the charity.
00:24:26Sounds like he was a good guy.
00:24:28Tyler?
00:24:30He was the best.
00:24:32Maggie said he passed.
00:24:34Car accident.
00:24:36Absolutely devastated her.
00:24:38Catherine.
00:24:40Well, he was her husband.
00:24:42They didn't tell you?
00:24:44I got it.
00:24:46Okay, let's go again.
00:24:50We good?
00:24:52Yeah.
00:24:58Nana's gonna be so excited to see you.
00:25:00And bring your hat in case you want to play outside.
00:25:02Hello! Hello!
00:25:04Oh, hi!
00:25:06It's so nice to see you both.
00:25:08Merry Christmas!
00:25:10Merry Christmas, honey.
00:25:12Brought you gingerbread cookies.
00:25:14He insisted.
00:25:16Well, Mama's gonna bring fruitcake instead.
00:25:18Come on, Emmett. I got some tea on.
00:25:20Oh, nice.
00:25:22Careful.
00:25:35I suppose I should get a new stocking for Will.
00:25:38He's curling up so fast.
00:25:40Yeah, I keep telling him to stop it,
00:25:42but he doesn't listen.
00:25:44No, they never do.
00:25:46It's just so nice to see him smiling again.
00:25:50It's the highlight of my days.
00:25:52So, I heard that you're gonna be working
00:25:56at the bakery while you're here.
00:25:58Oh, yeah. I'm happy to help out wherever they need.
00:26:01We're certainly lucky to have you.
00:26:04You've got such a gift.
00:26:06Tyler used to say that his favorite place to be
00:26:09was the bakery.
00:26:11Well, that's because he would steal cookie dough
00:26:13when I wasn't looking.
00:26:15Yes. And...
00:26:17you were always full of pure joy.
00:26:24Still our best sellers, though.
00:26:26I never could get them quite as good as yours.
00:26:29You're gonna have to tell me your secret at some point, honey.
00:26:32I'm not sure I even remember.
00:26:34It's been a long time.
00:26:36Well, it's kind of like riding a bicycle.
00:26:38I haven't done that in a long time, either.
00:26:40Well, I'm sure once you get started,
00:26:43it'll all come rushing back.
00:26:55So, the first day the ice froze,
00:26:57your dad, he'd be on that pond.
00:26:59He loved it.
00:27:01Yeah, and your mom would be right beside him
00:27:03with a big thermos of hot chocolate,
00:27:05just waiting for him.
00:27:07Why, she can... she can tell you some stories.
00:27:12She doesn't really like talking about him.
00:27:15Well, sometimes...
00:27:17very happy memories can be sad, too.
00:27:20Ah!
00:27:22Right?
00:27:26Would you like to hear another story?
00:27:29Yeah. Okay.
00:27:31So, when Christmas morning,
00:27:33your dad, it was really early in the morning,
00:27:35came down those stairs, and he wanted to have a sneak peek.
00:27:37I told Maggie that I would go with her
00:27:39to McKinley's to pick out some trees.
00:27:41Well, give her my love. I will.
00:27:53Where's Maggie?
00:27:55She got held up at the home.
00:27:57Did you?
00:27:59I volunteered.
00:28:01I'm the only one who can drive stick.
00:28:07Good enough for me.
00:28:20All right, did Maggie say how many she wanted?
00:28:22No, whatever will fit in the truck.
00:28:24Sounds good to me.
00:28:26Christmas at the barn?
00:28:28Oh, they do it every year.
00:28:30They put up a tarp, and they project old Christmas movies.
00:28:37You're playing Beyond Tomorrow.
00:28:39Oh, really?
00:28:41Hey, do you want some hot chocolate?
00:28:43My grandmother's favorite.
00:28:45Are you two close?
00:28:47She raised me.
00:28:49Both my parents passed when I was young,
00:28:51and I always miss them,
00:28:53but your grandmother knew around Christmas time
00:28:55that I missed them a little more,
00:28:57so she'd take us out of town to this old Rialto.
00:28:59Here you go.
00:29:01Watch all the classics.
00:29:05Hey, uh...
00:29:09Did it help?
00:29:11I think it always helps
00:29:13to fill sad memories with happier ones.
00:29:19You okay?
00:29:22My husband passed away two years ago.
00:29:25I'm sorry.
00:29:29He was a music teacher
00:29:31on his way to a recital,
00:29:33and the other driver
00:29:35ran the stop sign.
00:29:39I just worry about Will, you know?
00:29:41I worry that...
00:29:43that I'm not doing enough
00:29:45to help him get through this.
00:29:47I know I haven't known you two
00:29:49for very long.
00:29:51But?
00:29:53But have you ever considered
00:29:55that maybe he's worrying
00:29:57the same thing about you?
00:30:07Whoa, Timber!
00:30:09You got it? You're good.
00:30:11Hang on.
00:30:13Okay, wait.
00:30:15Okay, wait.
00:30:17I'll get this in.
00:30:19Ready? One, two, three.
00:30:21Okay.
00:30:23I got this.
00:30:29Uh, yeah, right over here by this table.
00:30:31Here?
00:30:33Just right here. Thank you.
00:30:35Good job. Thank you.
00:30:37Oh!
00:30:41Hey, Will, how's it going?
00:30:43Hey.
00:30:45Will's putting his old grandpa to shame.
00:30:47Look at that. Looking good, man.
00:30:49Oh, Dad, I want you to meet Jack.
00:30:51He's helping out with the band.
00:30:53Jack, this is my dad, John Winter.
00:30:55Pleasure to meet you, sir.
00:30:57Likewise.
00:30:59So, are you almost done?
00:31:01Mom wants us back in time to help with the clothes.
00:31:03Yeah, 4.30.
00:31:05All right. Hey, you want to get washed up?
00:31:07That is a real nice watch.
00:31:09Oh, thanks.
00:31:11This is special for the Provincetown Bicentennial.
00:31:13They gave it to all of the volunteers that year.
00:31:15There's only 30 of those in existence.
00:31:19Wow, it's...
00:31:21Mom, can I get a gingerbread cookie when we get there?
00:31:23Really nice. It's almost time for dinner.
00:31:25Grandpa said I could.
00:31:27Uh, just a small one.
00:31:29Well, we'll talk about it.
00:31:31We'll get going. See you at home?
00:31:33Yeah. All right. Bye, Jack.
00:31:35I'll be right along.
00:31:37Good to meet you. Likewise.
00:31:41♪♪♪
00:32:05Hello, hello.
00:32:07Hi.
00:32:09I was hoping you could help me.
00:32:11Of course.
00:32:13Do you know where I can find copies of the local paper?
00:32:15Absolutely. We have the last 50 years' archive.
00:32:17Follow me.
00:32:19It's right this way.
00:32:21♪♪♪
00:32:27Maybe try one of these ones?
00:32:29Oh, that should be great. Thank you.
00:32:31Perfect.
00:32:39♪♪♪
00:33:09♪♪♪
00:33:13Oh.
00:33:15Bad day?
00:33:17Oh, I just have to stretch him out a bit.
00:33:19I'll be fine.
00:33:23I'd give you these old hands if I could.
00:33:25I know you would.
00:33:31It's time, sweetheart.
00:33:33You can't put it off forever.
00:33:35I know.
00:33:39But...
00:33:41I'm gonna be sad
00:33:43to see it go, you know?
00:33:45I know.
00:33:47All good things come to an end.
00:33:49Yes.
00:33:51But not today.
00:33:53♪♪♪♪
00:33:59Okay.
00:34:01Get out of the way.
00:34:03♪♪♪♪
00:34:23Well, that's all I can recall
00:34:25off the top of my head.
00:34:27This is great.
00:34:29Yeah, I can try and dig up the paperwork,
00:34:31but a bicentennial is nearly 20 years.
00:34:33I really appreciate it.
00:34:35Are any of these men still in town?
00:34:37Most of them.
00:34:41Thank you for...
00:34:43your help.
00:34:45Why do you need these?
00:34:47Hey! Will, you look great!
00:34:51It's a Christmas gift.
00:34:53Jack!
00:34:57Are you here to skate?
00:34:59Hi.
00:35:01Hi.
00:35:03Uh...
00:35:05No, I was...
00:35:07I was just meeting someone.
00:35:09Well, you should.
00:35:11No, uh, you shouldn't feel like you have to say yes
00:35:13just because he...
00:35:15asked.
00:35:17I got time.
00:35:23What?
00:35:29It's natural.
00:35:31He doesn't get it from me.
00:35:33Okay, well, let's see. Size 6? I took a guess.
00:35:35I don't skate.
00:35:37Mm-hmm.
00:35:39It's a good thing I'm a good teacher.
00:35:41Come on.
00:35:43What? No, I...
00:35:45Come on.
00:35:47I don't think this is a good idea.
00:35:49I think that's great.
00:35:51Oh.
00:35:53I think I'm getting the hang of it.
00:35:55I think so, too.
00:35:57Whoa!
00:35:59Damn!
00:36:03I'm not... I'm not laughing at you.
00:36:05You're not laughing with me.
00:36:07It's just, you are...
00:36:09You're so well put together
00:36:11that it's nice to find a flaw.
00:36:13Oh, well, I'm happy to help.
00:36:15Yeah.
00:36:17Oh, are you okay?
00:36:19Yeah. What? What is it?
00:36:21It's just an old injury.
00:36:23Are you in pain?
00:36:25You're holding your arm kind of tight.
00:36:27Oh, I'm sorry. No, I'm...
00:36:29Oh!
00:36:31You okay? Yeah.
00:36:33I'm okay.
00:36:35Wait, I'm sorry.
00:36:37Maybe I should just...
00:36:39No, let's keep going. I have another idea.
00:36:41Okay. Try this.
00:36:43Ready? Yeah.
00:36:45All you have to do is nothing.
00:36:47That's perfect.
00:36:49Okay.
00:36:51Well, look, I'm skating, sort of.
00:36:53Whoo!
00:36:55Let's get that kid.
00:36:57Get him! Get him!
00:36:59Whoo!
00:37:03Yeah!
00:37:07Oh, I got it.
00:37:09No, we asked you.
00:37:11Exactly. And this is my thank you.
00:37:19Thank you very much.
00:37:27Mike's not here right now.
00:37:29Do you have a number where I could reach him?
00:37:31I'm not supposed to give that out,
00:37:33but if you leave your information, I can let him know.
00:37:35Okay.
00:37:37Is there anything else I can help you with today?
00:37:39Uh...
00:37:45Actually,
00:37:47maybe there is.
00:37:53What do you think of this?
00:37:55It's not exactly my style.
00:37:57For Teddy.
00:37:59Oh, have you talked to him lately?
00:38:01Last night. He's really excited about the band.
00:38:03I told him I'd send him a video of the performance.
00:38:05That's a great idea.
00:38:07How's it going? How is, uh, Jack doing?
00:38:09He's great. He's very talented.
00:38:15Is he bringing someone to the show?
00:38:17No.
00:38:19And he'd have to go through me for tickets,
00:38:21why?
00:38:23No reason.
00:38:25I think he's single,
00:38:27if that's what you're asking.
00:38:29Well, I'm not asking,
00:38:31and...
00:38:33I don't think that he is.
00:38:37I saw a photo of a woman in his wallet.
00:38:41Okay.
00:38:43I just think it's strange.
00:38:45If he has someone special to him,
00:38:47what's he doing spending his money on?
00:38:49If he has someone special to him,
00:38:51what's he doing spending Christmas here?
00:38:53With us?
00:39:01Hey!
00:39:03What's all this?
00:39:05Wow.
00:39:09I'm almost finished.
00:39:11You like it?
00:39:13You did this? Uh-huh.
00:39:15Why? For Will.
00:39:17Yeah.
00:39:19We've been wasting our talents
00:39:21on these cut-out trees.
00:39:23I thought you could paint a mural
00:39:25for the dance.
00:39:27Of what?
00:39:29Anything you want.
00:39:31I already ran it by Maggie.
00:39:33She thinks it's a great idea.
00:39:35So, get to work.
00:39:43Hey.
00:39:45Thank you so much for doing this.
00:39:49There's nothing.
00:39:51No, it's not.
00:40:01Good news?
00:40:03It's my sister.
00:40:07My nephew found her Christmas
00:40:09wrapping stash.
00:40:11Wait, but that's your sister?
00:40:13She's hosting Christmas
00:40:15for the first time in her new home.
00:40:17She's very excited.
00:40:19Grandma's flying in from Texas,
00:40:21and she's keeping me up to date
00:40:23with all these little moments.
00:40:25Mom,
00:40:27can Jack come over
00:40:29for dinner?
00:40:33Do you like lasagna?
00:40:37So, you met Jack
00:40:39through Maggie?
00:40:41He's playing with the band.
00:40:43No, that's not what I heard.
00:40:45Will told me you guys
00:40:47met on the train over here.
00:40:49Really?
00:40:51We were sitting next to each other.
00:40:53Oh, it's kind of funny.
00:40:55It's almost like fate
00:40:57keeps bringing the two of you together.
00:40:59It's not fate, okay?
00:41:05It's not.
00:41:07It's just a coincidence.
00:41:09Okay.
00:41:17All right.
00:41:19Yeah, we need some reinforcements
00:41:21here for sure.
00:41:23And then
00:41:25this right over here.
00:41:27Oh! I am very sorry.
00:41:29That slipped.
00:41:31Oh!
00:41:33Sorry, it slipped.
00:41:35Oh!
00:41:37Oh!
00:41:39There's your mom.
00:41:41Fifteen more minutes. We're almost done.
00:41:43That should be fine.
00:41:47If you want to help,
00:41:49it might only take ten minutes.
00:41:53Is your mom any good with a shovel?
00:41:55You can use mine.
00:41:59Sure.
00:42:01But the snowball fighting
00:42:03is over, right?
00:42:05It's all safe.
00:42:07For sure.
00:42:17I didn't do anything to you.
00:42:27All right.
00:42:29Ready?
00:42:34Wow.
00:42:36Look what I found.
00:42:38Remember these from when you were a kid?
00:42:40I do remember those.
00:42:42I thought you'd heard lasagna.
00:42:44Can I have two? Yes, of course.
00:42:46If you don't mind sharing.
00:42:52Well, cheers, everyone.
00:42:54Of course.
00:42:58All right.
00:43:00Who would like McHenry's hot cocoa?
00:43:02Oh, yes!
00:43:04That's the best.
00:43:06Jack?
00:43:08Sure, I'd love to.
00:43:10Wonderful.
00:43:12I'll get your coat.
00:43:14Hello?
00:43:16Hi, is this Jack Sutherland?
00:43:18Yes.
00:43:20Oh, this is Mike Conlon from Conlon Hardware.
00:43:22Oh, thank you. Thanks for calling me back.
00:43:24You volunteered at the Provincetown Bicentennial?
00:43:26I did, yeah, years ago.
00:43:28Are you around this week?
00:43:30There is something I would like to talk to you about.
00:43:32Well, I'm closing up in 20.
00:43:34If you can make it before that, I'd be happy to chat.
00:43:38Any way we can do tomorrow?
00:43:40Spending Christmas upstate.
00:43:42Heading out tonight.
00:43:46Mr. Sutherland?
00:43:48Yes, I will be there in five minutes. Thanks.
00:43:52Here's your stuff. Thanks.
00:43:54Ready?
00:43:56Thank you for dinner, but I have to go.
00:43:58Something just came up.
00:44:00Is everything okay?
00:44:02Yeah, just bad timing.
00:44:04Oh.
00:44:10Mr. Conlon!
00:44:12Mr. Sutherland.
00:44:14Just made it.
00:44:16Sorry I took a wrong turn,
00:44:18not from around here.
00:44:20You got a question for me?
00:44:28No.
00:44:54What you watching?
00:44:56Nothing.
00:45:06Where'd you find that?
00:45:08Nah, had a whole box of them.
00:45:14Why didn't you tell me about it?
00:45:22You know, you don't ever have to hide what you're feeling from me.
00:45:26It's okay to miss him.
00:45:28I miss him, too.
00:45:36You know, your dad loved making the set list for the dance.
00:45:40He would sit with me in the bakery
00:45:42and play dozens of Christmas albums
00:45:44while I was making cookies.
00:45:48After my shift, I would be humming those songs for hours.
00:45:50Christmas was his favorite day of the year.
00:45:54Until the day you were born.
00:45:56And then he had two favorites.
00:46:04Sometimes it hurts to remember the past.
00:46:08But those memories are gifts.
00:46:12The years of laughter and love and joy.
00:46:14You know, your dad is always with us.
00:46:18He's right here.
00:46:24We're in this together, okay?
00:46:28Okay.
00:46:32Now press play.
00:46:38Okay.
00:46:40Okay.
00:46:54Oh, come all ye faithful
00:47:00Joyful and triumphant
00:47:04Oh, come ye
00:47:06Oh, come
00:47:08That sounds beautiful. I didn't mean to interrupt. Sorry.
00:47:12Yeah.
00:47:14It's hard to learn a whole set list in a week,
00:47:16so I'm just sneaking in extra practice.
00:47:20What is that?
00:47:22It's like, uh,
00:47:24closest thing I could get to a chocolate croissant.
00:47:26What do you want? Half?
00:47:28Absolutely not.
00:47:30Normally, I don't really have much of a sweet tooth,
00:47:32but my grandma used to make chocolate croissants on Christmas,
00:47:34so it reminded me of home.
00:47:36Well, I cannot let you eat this.
00:47:40I know it's not, like,
00:47:42the healthiest thing,
00:47:44but...
00:47:46Yeah, bring the guitar. Let's go.
00:47:48Yeah, yeah. Come on, Jack. Let's go.
00:47:54Uh, it's closed.
00:47:56Don't worry. I happen to know the owners.
00:47:58So,
00:48:00we're gonna make croissants.
00:48:02Not just any croissant.
00:48:04We're making the Winter Family Christmas Croissant.
00:48:08What makes them Christmas?
00:48:10That is a family secret.
00:48:22Peppermint?
00:48:24Okay, well, it's not exactly a well-guarded secret.
00:48:34You're good at this.
00:48:36I grew up coming here.
00:48:38I used to dream that I'd own it someday.
00:48:40So what happened?
00:48:44Tyler got a job in Boston.
00:48:46This just wasn't meant to be.
00:48:48You obviously love it.
00:48:50I do.
00:48:52But I loved him more.
00:48:56Okay, so,
00:48:58just to show you how here...
00:49:00Yeah.
00:49:02Start with the triangle.
00:49:04Okay.
00:49:06Just want it to roll...
00:49:08Okay.
00:49:10Like that.
00:49:12And then you pinch the ends.
00:49:14Got it.
00:49:16How is this?
00:49:18Um...
00:49:20No.
00:49:22It's good for your first try.
00:49:24I mean...
00:49:28Thank you for sparing my feelings.
00:49:30There. Perfect.
00:49:36Let's just try one more time.
00:49:40So, yeah, you do that.
00:49:42No, softer, yeah.
00:49:44And you just roll straight...
00:49:46Yeah, you're doing good.
00:49:48Here.
00:49:52So why are you here?
00:49:56I'm not making that much of a mess already.
00:49:58That's not what I meant.
00:50:00You have a sister.
00:50:02You have family.
00:50:04Why aren't you spending
00:50:06the holidays with them?
00:50:08I told you.
00:50:10I'm meeting a friend.
00:50:20Do you believe in fate?
00:50:24I don't know.
00:50:26When I was growing up,
00:50:28my grandmother would always tell
00:50:30my sister Nora and I,
00:50:32what is meant to be
00:50:34will always find a way.
00:50:36But it makes it sound like
00:50:38you don't have a choice.
00:50:40No, I think it's like
00:50:42our choices mean something.
00:50:44Nothing is random.
00:50:48Someone gave me a gift
00:50:50a long time ago.
00:50:52Second chance.
00:50:54What?
00:50:56Life.
00:51:00Or injury.
00:51:06I want to repay it.
00:51:16Moment of truth.
00:51:18Wow.
00:51:20Okay.
00:51:22Careful.
00:51:32Well?
00:51:34Honestly, best I've ever had.
00:51:38Just don't tell my grandmother I said that.
00:51:40I would never.
00:51:42Oh my.
00:51:44Thank you
00:51:46for ruining croissants
00:51:48for me forever.
00:51:50Anytime.
00:51:54You...
00:51:56You were made for this.
00:51:58I mean it.
00:52:00Maybe.
00:52:02Once upon a time.
00:52:06I like to think we're given
00:52:08second chances for a reason.
00:52:20Miss Sultana?
00:52:22I have no idea what that's doing there.
00:52:24Yeah.
00:52:50Okay.
00:53:20Okay.
00:53:50Okay.
00:54:20I thought you were volunteering
00:54:22at the function hall today.
00:54:24I am.
00:54:26I just wanted to try something.
00:54:28I haven't seen this in a while.
00:54:30Yeah, I found it.
00:54:36I'd say you found more than just that.
00:54:38Hey.
00:54:40Hi.
00:54:42Um, I thought about what you said
00:54:44last night, and
00:54:46you're right.
00:54:48I'm sorry.
00:54:50I'm sorry.
00:54:52I'm sorry.
00:54:54I'm sorry.
00:54:56I'm sorry.
00:54:58I'm sorry.
00:55:00I'm sorry.
00:55:02I'm sorry.
00:55:04I'm sorry.
00:55:06You're right.
00:55:08Old dreams don't have to just
00:55:10stay in the past.
00:55:16You made these?
00:55:18Yeah.
00:55:20And why I wanted you to be the first one
00:55:22to try them.
00:55:26Wow.
00:55:36I haven't seen him this happy in a long time.
00:55:42You have plans tonight?
00:55:46Secret's out, Maggie.
00:55:48Found out I'm into old Christmas movies,
00:55:50so she gave me two tickets to the show at the farm.
00:55:54Would you like to go?
00:55:58He likes you to the movies.
00:56:00He likes the movies.
00:56:02Oh, okay. He likes you.
00:56:04I'm not ready to be in a relationship, Jess.
00:56:06No, it'd be okay if you were.
00:56:12Who's Mom talking to?
00:56:16Oh, like,
00:56:18I can't remember their names, but
00:56:20Dad says they've been in almost every other week.
00:56:22They must really like the fruitcake.
00:56:24They want to buy the bakery.
00:56:32The bakery has been in our family
00:56:34for five generations.
00:56:36It's part of so many traditions in this town.
00:56:38You said so yourself.
00:56:40I did?
00:56:42Jess said they want to turn it into a gastropub?
00:56:44Well, it's a very attractive location
00:56:46right in the heart of town.
00:56:48We've had several offers
00:56:50over the years.
00:56:52So...
00:56:54now it's on the table?
00:56:56Believe me, Catherine,
00:56:58I'd rather not have to part
00:57:00with the bakery. It's just...
00:57:02I don't have a choice at this point.
00:57:06Mom, is this...
00:57:08is this a money issue?
00:57:10No! Nothing like that.
00:57:12But the hours are long,
00:57:14and it's very physical work.
00:57:16And I'm afraid I'm just not up to it anymore.
00:57:22Since you're back here,
00:57:24why don't you go ice those cookies?
00:57:36Did you give them an answer?
00:57:38Not yet.
00:57:48You know,
00:57:50I always thought you'd...
00:57:52you'd take over for me when the time came.
00:57:54If I recall,
00:57:56for a while there,
00:57:58that was the plan.
00:58:00Well, things don't always
00:58:02work out the way we plan.
00:58:04Well, they still could.
00:58:06I can't work here.
00:58:08Why not?
00:58:10Well, first of all, the commute...
00:58:12You could move back.
00:58:14What, quit my job?
00:58:16When you first applied at the bank,
00:58:19it is not my dream job,
00:58:21but it's reliable.
00:58:27You know, the Sandersons
00:58:29have their home for sale on Oak...
00:58:31Okay, Mom, listen.
00:58:33This just isn't my home anymore.
00:58:37Oh, my dear girl,
00:58:39this will always be your home.
00:58:42Oh, thank you so much.
00:58:46All right.
00:58:48This is your movie.
00:58:50Where do you want to sit?
00:58:52Oh, no, really, up to you.
00:58:54I normally sit on the left.
00:58:56Okay, let's do it.
00:58:58You have a normal seat in movie theaters?
00:59:00Absolutely.
00:59:02I feel like that's really...
00:59:05I'm sorry.
00:59:07No, you're good.
00:59:17Hmm.
00:59:19This is my favorite movie.
00:59:21It's a good movie.
00:59:23It's a good movie.
00:59:25It's a good movie.
00:59:27It's a good movie.
00:59:29It's a good movie.
00:59:31It's a good movie.
00:59:34It's my favorite part.
00:59:58It was good, right?
01:00:00Really good, yes.
01:00:02Um, you can turn that back in there if you want.
01:00:04Okay.
01:00:06I'll just be a second, okay?
01:00:12What is this?
01:00:14Oh, um, it's a list of all the service members
01:00:16that are gonna be away at Christmas.
01:00:18They have these booths all over town.
01:00:20You can write them a note, send it to them.
01:00:24Where's Maggie's husband?
01:00:27He's right there.
01:00:29I thought Teddy was short for Theodore.
01:00:31Nope, it's Edward.
01:00:33It's a family name.
01:00:38What does he do?
01:00:40He's a medic.
01:00:44Here.
01:00:46What's this?
01:00:48It's a pin.
01:00:50Oh.
01:00:52Of Provincetown.
01:00:54So you can remember us.
01:00:56Somehow I think I'll have a hard time forgetting.
01:01:02Hi.
01:01:04Was asleep?
01:01:06Um...
01:01:12You're welcome.
01:01:18Room for one more?
01:01:20Room for one more?
01:01:22Heh.
01:01:30Why no roof?
01:01:33Dad always left it open.
01:01:36He could watch out for shooting stars.
01:01:39He never told me that.
01:01:42Have you found any?
01:01:45What'd you wish for?
01:01:47Can't tell you. Wouldn't come true.
01:01:51Yeah.
01:01:57You know, Jack's really nice.
01:02:02Yeah, he is.
01:02:10Are you having a good Christmas?
01:02:13Yeah.
01:02:15I am.
01:02:17I'm glad.
01:02:20Yeah.
01:02:50Hey, Belle.
01:02:52Hey.
01:02:54You getting an early start?
01:02:56Yep.
01:02:58Oh, yeah. He could hardly wait for me to finish breakfast.
01:03:00We're almost done.
01:03:02You want to help?
01:03:04Oh, I would, but I practice.
01:03:06They didn't tell you?
01:03:08Tell me what?
01:03:10I don't think you're going to be having practice today.
01:03:12Why not?
01:03:14Teddy's back in town.
01:03:16Come on, let's go.
01:03:20Okay.
01:03:40Oh, Jack, hi.
01:03:42Yep.
01:03:46Keep coming.
01:03:48Okay.
01:03:50A little bit further.
01:03:52Stop it. I want to look.
01:03:54Okay.
01:03:56Are we good?
01:03:58Are we almost ready for this?
01:04:00Will, can I get a drumroll, please?
01:04:02And you can look.
01:04:08Will, it's perfect.
01:04:10Really?
01:04:12Oh, it's so wonderful, sweetheart.
01:04:14It looks amazing.
01:04:16Can we come out now?
01:04:18Yes, yes, you have to come see.
01:04:20Ta-da!
01:04:22Isn't it good?
01:04:28What did your mom think?
01:04:30She liked it.
01:04:32You?
01:04:34Yeah, it's amazing.
01:04:36I know, that's my favorite part.
01:04:38Do you see the airplane?
01:04:46So, Jack, you joining us tonight?
01:04:48Tonight?
01:04:50It's our family Christmas party.
01:04:52Oh, I wouldn't want to intrude on a family event.
01:04:54Oh, lots of people come.
01:04:56I mean, Maggie and Teddy will be there.
01:04:58You can finally meet them.
01:05:00Okay.
01:05:02Six o'clock.
01:05:04I will be there.
01:05:16Evening, Jane.
01:05:18Oh, Officer Barnes.
01:05:20What can I get you?
01:05:22You still selling those bottles of Milly Spice cider?
01:05:24Through the new year.
01:05:26Two, please.
01:05:28Coming right up.
01:05:30Jack.
01:05:32Roger.
01:05:34Just picking up some cider for the party.
01:05:36Oh, right, I hadn't even thought about that.
01:05:38I should probably order some Christmas cookies or something.
01:05:40They own a bakery, pal.
01:05:42Right.
01:05:44What you got there?
01:05:46It's a watch.
01:05:56Belongs to the man who saved my life.
01:06:04Hi.
01:06:08Has Mom told you yet?
01:06:10Told me what?
01:06:12That's a no.
01:06:14That couple made Mom an official offer today.
01:06:18And she accepted.
01:06:20I know.
01:06:22End of an era.
01:06:24Oh, Dad wanted me to give you this.
01:06:32Open it.
01:06:38He fixed it for you.
01:07:04Hi.
01:07:06Hi.
01:07:08Merry Christmas.
01:07:10Merry Christmas.
01:07:12Hello, Jess. Merry Christmas.
01:07:14I'll take that.
01:07:18Yeah.
01:07:20Warm.
01:07:22I'm really glad you came.
01:07:28Me too.
01:07:30Hi.
01:07:38You should ask him to the dance.
01:07:40He's already going to be at the dance.
01:07:42So?
01:07:44Maybe he'd like to be there with you.
01:07:52Hit it.
01:07:54Too slow, Nist.
01:07:56Jack.
01:07:58This is my husband, Teddy.
01:08:00Hi.
01:08:02It's really nice to meet you.
01:08:04I've heard a lot of good things.
01:08:06Same.
01:08:08There's Mrs. Conroy.
01:08:10I have to talk shop.
01:08:12Can you excuse me?
01:08:16So, you all ready for tomorrow?
01:08:18I hope so.
01:08:20It's really good of you
01:08:22to come all this way to lend a hand.
01:08:24You know, that's not the only reason
01:08:26that I came.
01:08:28I, uh...
01:08:30Actually...
01:08:36Uh...
01:08:46Who is that?
01:08:48That's Tyler.
01:08:50Catherine's husband.
01:08:54Hi.
01:09:02Can I have everyone's attention?
01:09:14Have you seen Jack?
01:09:16No.
01:09:18Hey.
01:09:22Hey.
01:09:24There you are.
01:09:26So, I have a question.
01:09:30Something wrong?
01:09:36Do you recognize this?
01:09:40Yeah.
01:09:42It's a Bicentennial watch.
01:09:44Read the back, Kat.
01:09:48Okay.
01:09:56Did this belong to your husband?
01:10:00Yeah.
01:10:04Yeah, he lost it a long time ago.
01:10:06How do you have this?
01:10:10I read the volunteer list.
01:10:12He wasn't there.
01:10:14But I only asked Beth
01:10:16and I...
01:10:18I never considered
01:10:20maybe it was a gift.
01:10:22You volunteered
01:10:24at the Bicentennial, didn't you?
01:10:26Yeah.
01:10:28Yeah, and I had it
01:10:30engraved for him before he was deployed.
01:10:32He used to always say
01:10:34that he was counting the hours
01:10:38until we were together again.
01:10:40Yeah.
01:10:44He wore it all the time.
01:10:46Every time we were apart.
01:10:48You said he was a music teacher.
01:10:50Yeah.
01:10:52Yeah, that's what he did when he got out of the service.
01:10:54I still don't understand
01:10:56how you...
01:10:58how you have this.
01:11:02I was stationed overseas.
01:11:04Got into a...
01:11:06a bit of a rough spot.
01:11:08I don't remember much
01:11:10except the medic pulling me out.
01:11:12He was gone
01:11:14before I could even thank him.
01:11:16I didn't even get a name.
01:11:18But he dropped that.
01:11:22I always meant
01:11:24to get it back to him.
01:11:26I don't know why I took so long.
01:11:28But...
01:11:32When I saw
01:11:34the announcement about the band,
01:11:36I thought it was a sign.
01:11:38I thought it was the perfect time
01:11:40for me to finally make the trip
01:11:42and find him.
01:11:46I just can't believe this.
01:11:50I know.
01:11:52Pat?
01:11:54Yeah.
01:11:56Sorry, um...
01:11:58Dad's about to start his Christmas toast.
01:12:00Okay. I'll be right there.
01:12:06Catherine?
01:12:08I, uh... I should go.
01:12:36I should go.
01:13:06♪♪♪♪
01:13:08♪♪♪♪
01:13:10♪♪♪♪
01:13:12♪♪♪♪
01:13:14♪♪♪♪
01:13:16♪♪♪♪
01:13:18♪♪♪♪
01:13:20♪♪♪♪
01:13:22I thought I might find you here.
01:13:26Am I so predictable?
01:13:28Well, Mother knows.
01:13:30Oh.
01:13:38It just seems so unfair.
01:13:40Why is he gone
01:13:42and I'm still here?
01:13:44To live, honey.
01:13:46I see him everywhere.
01:13:48I go to a place
01:13:50Tyler and I went to a thousand times
01:13:52and immediately it's like
01:13:54I'm right back there with him.
01:13:56Like he never left.
01:13:58You share a lot of memories.
01:14:02You tried so hard
01:14:04to put on a brave face for Will
01:14:06but pushing Tyler away
01:14:08isn't gonna make you heal.
01:14:10You're gonna have to find some peace, son.
01:14:14And part of that
01:14:16is moving on.
01:14:20You know, I...
01:14:22I finally let myself
01:14:24I finally let myself
01:14:28feel
01:14:30that way again
01:14:32for a second.
01:14:40Jack isn't here
01:14:42because of the band.
01:14:44He's here because of Tyler.
01:14:48I don't understand.
01:14:50When Tyler was serving
01:14:54he saved
01:14:56Jack's life.
01:15:02Jack didn't know
01:15:04that it was Tyler
01:15:06until today.
01:15:08Oh, Mom.
01:15:10Wow.
01:15:12It's pretty remarkable
01:15:14how your lives have intertwined.
01:15:18Sounds to me
01:15:20like a Christmas miracle.
01:15:24Yeah.
01:15:32Oh, honey.
01:15:34I'm sorry, Jack.
01:15:36For years
01:15:38I meant to
01:15:40thank him. I just always built it up
01:15:42and it became
01:15:44so big.
01:15:48I always found a reason not to do it
01:15:51Now I've waited too long.
01:15:55What are you gonna do now?
01:16:10Nervous?
01:16:12A little.
01:16:14You're gonna be a hit.
01:16:16What's that?
01:16:18It's an early Christmas gift.
01:16:20Can I open it?
01:16:22Go ahead.
01:16:28It belonged to your dad.
01:16:30He wore it every time he had to go away.
01:16:34He said that whenever he missed us
01:16:36he could look at it
01:16:38and it would make him feel like
01:16:40we were right there with him.
01:16:42I want you to have it.
01:16:44You mean?
01:16:46He would want you to have it, too.
01:16:52I don't remember this.
01:16:54Yeah, he, uh...
01:16:56He lost it for a little while
01:16:58after he saved a man's life.
01:17:00He did?
01:17:02He did.
01:17:04Here.
01:17:06I think we should just tuck it right here
01:17:08and see if it fits.
01:17:10I think we should just tuck it right here
01:17:12inside your pocket
01:17:14right next to your heart.
01:17:18Mom, you're crying.
01:17:20They're just happy tears.
01:17:26It'll be okay.
01:17:28I promise.
01:17:30Oh.
01:17:40Oh, don't you two look gorgeous.
01:17:42Go get your coat.
01:17:44We have to head out early, but...
01:17:46Very handsome.
01:17:48Mom, I need to talk to you.
01:17:50What is it, honey?
01:17:54I don't want you to sell the bakery.
01:17:56Oh.
01:17:58Catherine, we've been through this already.
01:18:00I just don't have a choice.
01:18:02Yes, you do. You can let me help you.
01:18:06I thought you didn't want to come back.
01:18:10You're right.
01:18:12I was hiding from a place I love
01:18:14from people I love
01:18:16because I was hurt.
01:18:18Because I missed my husband.
01:18:20But Provincetown
01:18:22isn't just a place.
01:18:24It was our life together.
01:18:26It was a happy life together,
01:18:28and I am tired of hiding from it.
01:18:32If that's what you want.
01:18:34It is.
01:18:36You were right.
01:18:38I just want to come home.
01:18:42And you know,
01:18:44I've been thinking of some new ideas
01:18:46for those pecan sandies.
01:18:48I'm sure you have.
01:18:56Hi.
01:19:16Hi.
01:19:18Hi. Oh, you look beautiful.
01:19:20Thank you. Ooh, that dress is amazing.
01:19:22I'll have to borrow it one day.
01:19:24Okay.
01:19:28We're going to slow things down,
01:19:30so grab that special someone
01:19:32and lead them to the dance floor.
01:19:34I have to go.
01:19:48Ask Daddy to sit in for a song.
01:19:50Why?
01:19:52Maybe I can convince you to dance.
01:19:56So what do you say?
01:19:58What do you say?
01:20:20I tried calling you.
01:20:22I know.
01:20:24I, uh...
01:20:26I just needed time.
01:20:32You asked me if I believe in fate.
01:20:34I still don't know
01:20:36the answer to that,
01:20:38but I do believe that
01:20:40people come into your life for a reason.
01:20:42Like Tyler did for me.
01:20:46Yeah.
01:20:52And like you did for me.
01:20:56I don't know
01:20:58if it's coincidence
01:21:00or if it's a Christmas miracle
01:21:02that brought you into my life,
01:21:04but I am so happy that you are here.
01:21:26Christmas, Christmas
01:21:28Like I'm riding in a one-horse sleigh
01:21:38You've been able to protect the innocent.
