00:00:00The Christmas tree
00:00:08So I became good at fixing other people's words.
00:00:12I'd landed my dream job at a local book publishing company, Oceanside Publishing.
00:00:17And it was Christmas time, which meant lots of happy family memories.
00:00:22Meanwhile, Mel seemed well-suited for her shiny happy world.
00:00:26The fairy tale never looked so good, am I right?
00:00:28I overheard Grant talking to Donatella.
00:00:31She's designing my entire wardrobe for our trip to the south of Bran.
00:00:35And we're going on Brangelina's yacht, where they're throwing a private party for 200 of their closest friends.
00:00:47My parents had never been rich.
00:00:49They had to take out a second mortgage.
00:00:51And the recession hit them. Hard.
00:00:53The bank took the old home.
00:00:55And they moved into a townhouse.
00:00:57Where my mom had her very own daycare.
00:00:59Go.
00:01:02Goose!
00:01:02Come on, Janet. Goose.
00:01:03I'm not a goose. I'm a girl.
00:01:05You're a goose.
00:01:09Hey, guys.
00:01:11You okay?
00:01:12Mm-hmm.
00:01:13I'm great.
00:01:13Stop.
00:01:15Stop.
00:01:16Come on.
00:01:17Goose.
00:01:18Oh!
00:01:20Mm-mm-mm-mm.
00:01:22Wendy?
00:01:23This is Gus.
00:01:25Pu-pu-pu-pu-pu.
00:01:27Puppy.
00:01:28Puppy.
00:01:29Puppy.
00:01:30A-choo.
00:01:31A-choo.
00:01:32A-choo.
00:01:42A-choo.
00:01:43And Mel was living in a lavish McMansion with McDud.
00:01:48Mmm-hmm.
00:01:48Mm-hmm.
00:02:09Thank you very much.
00:02:11Something very nice.
00:02:12That's an awesome day.
00:02:12That's crazy awesome!
00:02:13It's my mom.
00:02:16So thank you so much.
00:02:16I really like the girl Wentworth.
00:02:49Mom would still drive by the old house, hoping someday to buy it back from the bank.
00:03:08And so, the news that somebody had finally bought the old house was, well, not good.
00:03:18The truth is, maybe the past five years hadn't been so great for any of us O'Briens.
00:03:27How's that editing coming?
00:03:29Gross.
00:03:30What's gross?
00:03:32Just schmaltzy, saccharine, sweet, stilted.
00:03:35Well, his last one was on the bestseller list for a month.
00:03:38I don't know who reads this stuff.
00:03:40Apparently plenty of people, thus the word bestseller.
00:03:43Yeah, well, his last editor must have been really good.
00:03:46Hey, I have complete faith in you.
00:03:48My junior editor editing her first big-time novel.
00:03:51You know, real families aren't actually like this.
00:03:53Real families may seem like they're perfect and everybody's happy on the outside, but everything's coming apart at the seams
00:04:01and then nobody ever talks to each other again.
00:04:05Not that I know anything about that.
00:04:07You know, you're far too young to be so cynical.
00:04:10If you don't believe in family, why did you volunteer to edit this project?
00:04:13I didn't volunteer to edit this project.
00:04:15You assigned it to me.
00:04:17Right.
00:04:19Anyway, I just came to say goodbye and go home.
00:04:23I will.
00:04:24I will, I promise.
00:04:25I'm just so done.
00:04:27I have a little bit more work to do.
00:04:28Hey, you know, my wife's cooking dinner for me and the kids.
00:04:31Why don't you join us?
00:04:31Yeah, I'm not really a big family dinner person.
00:04:34Did he write that?
00:04:36Did I say that out loud?
00:04:49Hi, Wendy.
00:04:51It's beautiful outside.
00:04:52Why don't you play with us?
00:04:53Little Gus has been asking for you, haven't you, buddy?
00:04:56Yeah, well, I'm not going to get too attached to Gus since he's not going to be around anyway.
00:05:00Oh, sorry, sweetie.
00:05:01I didn't think some of the kids would be allergic to them.
00:05:03I know, honey.
00:05:04You don't really think, do you?
00:05:06Once upon a time, you thought I was spontaneous and fun.
00:05:08You remember?
00:05:09Fun.
00:05:11That's not fair.
00:05:12I get that you miss Kate and Mel, but I've been right here all this time.
00:05:17You don't even see me anymore.
00:05:20Sweet.
00:05:23We've got two beautiful daughters, and there's not one picture of them here.
00:05:28It's all just your daycare kids.
00:05:34Ow!
00:05:35Ow!
00:05:36Ow!
00:05:36Ow!
00:05:36Ow!
00:05:36Ow!
00:05:36It's our clock!
00:05:38Oh, would you look at this.
00:05:41Somebody's hungry.
00:05:42I've fed this dog for all of five hours.
00:05:45I've seen more affection from him than I have from you in five years.
00:05:47Well, then why don't you two lovebirds just go get your own place then?
00:05:53Maybe we will then.
00:05:55Fine!
00:05:56Fine!
00:05:57Fine!
00:05:58Fine!
00:05:59Fine!
00:06:01Fine!
00:06:02Fine!
00:06:33Fine!
00:06:35Fine!
00:06:36Can't outrun your problems, Katie Cat.
00:06:37My only problem is my dad's statue fence.
00:06:40Who's your friend?
00:06:41Gus.
00:06:42Presents a bit of a problem.
00:06:43Run faster.
00:06:44Speed's not the issue.
00:06:45Your mom is.
00:06:46We're separating.
00:06:49He said you kicked him out because of a puppy?
00:06:51Of course I didn't kick him out because of a puppy.
00:06:53What, do you think I have no heart?
00:06:54Then what happened?
00:06:57Maybe it was time.
00:06:58We were happily married for 22 years.
00:07:01You've been married for 27.
00:07:02Exactly.
00:07:03Mom.
00:07:04His statement, not mine.
00:07:07I just, I don't understand.
00:07:08You're just gonna throw it all away?
00:07:10He's in denial.
00:07:11About what?
00:07:12Well, in his little world, there's nothing to be upset about.
00:07:15It's perfectly fine that his two daughters aren't talking and that we've lost our home.
00:07:20I'm in denial.
00:07:21She's got ten new kids and I'm the one in denial?
00:07:25She didn't even want to have Thanksgiving this year.
00:07:27What was the point?
00:07:28Mel won't come in case you're there.
00:07:30Well, you won't come in case Mel's there.
00:07:33I can't believe Mom didn't cook.
00:07:34Mom loves to cook.
00:07:36It's like that with everything.
00:07:38She'd rather be driving by the old house or watching someone else's kids than be with me.
00:07:44They sold the old house.
00:07:46Really?
00:07:47Do you know that that old house on the day of the wedding was the last place we were all
00:07:51together as a family?
00:08:03Come on, Ron, let's go.
00:08:05Dad ceremony starts at three bells.
00:08:12Nice fo-ha.
00:08:14Did you learn that in Urban Dictionary?
00:08:15Might have.
00:08:21We learn a lot in Urban Dictionaries these days.
00:08:31Your principal called again.
00:08:33I can't help it if I'm popular.
00:08:35You gotta go to school, right?
00:08:37Mom's having a hard enough time without you making it worse.
00:08:40It's not like I missed a test or anything.
00:08:43From what I understand, you couldn't do worse on these tests if you didn't miss them.
00:08:46What's going on? You're a smart guy.
00:08:48I don't want to mess up the curve for everyone else.
00:08:50Hey, I'm serious, Ry.
00:08:52You can't get a job without an education.
00:08:54I got a job.
00:08:55What if you decide to do something else?
00:09:03I miss your father, too.
00:09:07And I know it's only been a year since we lost him, but...
00:09:12Well, you know you can talk to me.
00:09:15About anything, alright?
00:09:18Where's the tie I put out for you?
00:09:21I'm guessing he's still on the bed.
00:09:24You need to wear a tie to the ceremony.
00:09:26We're going back to get it.
00:09:41I'm sorry.
00:09:47Not good.
00:09:55I'm sorry.
00:09:57I'm sorry.
00:09:59How's it going?
00:10:01But, you know...
00:10:01That's a great place.
00:10:03In the house where the house was located,
00:10:03You know what, I'm sorry.
00:10:03I felt like she was tired, but there's an eye.
00:10:04I was like, oh, hi!
00:10:09Nice
00:10:13Hello
00:10:20Hello
00:10:35hello
00:11:02I'm sorry
00:11:03I'm sorry
00:11:04I'm sorry
00:11:04I'm sorry
00:11:04I was
00:11:04I was
00:11:05No, I went to the door.
00:11:06Break and entering.
00:11:06No, I knocked.
00:11:08Landscaping?
00:11:08No.
00:11:09I don't know.
00:11:09I was never great at charades.
00:11:11I was just, I didn't know anyone was here, but...
00:11:15They didn't have to call on the Marines.
00:11:17I'm gonna go.
00:11:18I'm sorry.
00:11:19Okay.
00:11:19I'm leaving.
00:11:20Sure.
00:11:20Right now.
00:11:21Okay.
00:11:21Gonna get off your property.
00:11:23Sorry.
00:11:44Traitor.
00:11:46I wasn't taking sides.
00:11:47You crossed enemy lines.
00:11:49The house is your mother's side of the divide.
00:11:51Mom is not the enemy.
00:11:54She is mad at Melanie and me.
00:11:56She's mad at me too.
00:11:57Just because she blames us doesn't mean we're to blame.
00:12:01That makes no sense.
00:12:03Go talk to her.
00:12:07Mom, somebody's already moved in.
00:12:10Oh, I've seen that truck.
00:12:11Some old miserable woodworking guy, right?
00:12:15It's not that old.
00:12:16Or miserable.
00:12:20What happened to the clock?
00:12:22Honey.
00:12:23This is the first casualty of our separation.
00:12:27The dog chewed it.
00:12:29Now it's broken.
00:12:32Ruined.
00:12:33It's not ruined.
00:12:34It's just...
00:12:35It's looking a little worse for wear.
00:12:38This is the first thing your father and I bought for the house.
00:12:43I think it's a sign.
00:12:45We're never getting the house back.
00:12:48Mom.
00:12:48Garbage man's coming in about an hour.
00:12:50Would you just...
00:12:51Stick it in the can.
00:12:56Are you sure?
00:12:57Are you sure?
00:12:58Are you sure?
00:12:58upset?
00:13:17I'm not sure.
00:13:17Well, it's not good.
00:13:17I'm not good.
00:13:21I'm not good.
00:13:25I actually don't know.
00:13:26I want to put it all together.
00:14:18Hey, check this out.
00:14:19People love to buy stuff like this.
00:14:21Can I put it in the case?
00:14:23That belongs to me.
00:14:25Oh.
00:14:26It's a medal of achievement.
00:14:28Achievement for what?
00:14:31For meritorious service in combat.
00:14:35Did my dad get one of these?
00:14:41Your dad...
00:14:44Your dad was a hero.
00:14:46And he didn't need a medal to prove it.
00:14:50I'm going to put it back.
00:14:58I'm going to put it back.
00:15:18Hi there.
00:15:27Hi.
00:15:29We don't have any swing sets.
00:15:31We do have a great jungle gym, though.
00:15:33And a seesaw.
00:15:34It's you.
00:15:35Again.
00:15:36Awkward.
00:15:37Well, you were trespassing.
00:15:39I know.
00:15:39I was.
00:15:40But, um, it's just that I grew up in that house.
00:15:43Oh.
00:15:44Well, it's a great house.
00:15:46Miss O'Brien, right?
00:15:48How do you know my name?
00:15:50There's still some old boxes up in the attic with your family's name on them.
00:15:53Christmas stuff, mostly.
00:15:56Oh.
00:15:57Well, thanks for not throwing them away.
00:16:00I'd never throw away family.
00:16:05Do you do clock repairs?
00:16:08Clocks are my specialty.
00:16:11Time is one of the few things in this world you can count on.
00:16:15Have you heard of the great Sandini?
00:16:17Magician?
00:16:19I just bought his tools of the trade and, uh...
00:16:22Can you help me out?
00:16:24You have to promise not to reveal the secret.
00:16:27I promise.
00:16:29It's called a contortionist hug.
00:16:32Here it is.
00:16:33Okay.
00:16:34You want to put your hands above your head.
00:16:36Okay.
00:16:37And now pivot around three times.
00:16:41Yep.
00:16:42Faster.
00:16:43Right.
00:16:43Now touch your toes and twist onto one hand.
00:16:53Was it because I fell?
00:16:55Yeah, you fell for it, all right.
00:16:58Here, I'll, um...
00:16:59I'll get you out.
00:17:03Just...
00:17:10How did you do that?
00:17:11One of the perks of being a book editor is you get to know a little about a lot of
00:17:15things.
00:17:16Impressive.
00:17:18The clock.
00:17:24Whoa.
00:17:25Land shark?
00:17:26Puppy.
00:17:28Can you fix it?
00:17:29You could always pull its teeth.
00:17:30The clock, not the puppy.
00:17:33Yeah.
00:17:33I could have it to you by next week.
00:17:35You just need your name and your number.
00:17:39Right there.
00:17:40Great.
00:17:42Uh...
00:17:43Thanks for your time, Mr...
00:17:47No, Mr.
00:17:48Just Mike.
00:17:49And any time is a good time, Miss O'Brien.
00:17:54Just Kate.
00:17:57Just Kate.
00:18:04Oh, just give it a good push.
00:18:06Just the handle.
00:18:08There you go.
00:18:09Goodbye.
00:18:13Lame.
00:18:15Seriously?
00:18:16Somebody's got to help you with your game.
00:18:17I got GameKit.
00:18:19Oh, yeah?
00:18:20Yeah, I got Fields of Game.
00:18:28Mom, Dad loves you.
00:18:31He doesn't mean to do silly things.
00:18:33How about we have fun?
00:18:33It's part of his charm.
00:18:35That's why you married him.
00:18:36That's why you love him, right?
00:18:37Hey!
00:18:38Who's got a mustache?
00:18:39Oh, my goodness.
00:18:40You guys are getting so old.
00:18:42Look at you.
00:18:43Excuse me.
00:18:44I'm a chocolate.
00:18:45Chocolate mustache.
00:18:46Did you have chocolate?
00:18:47No.
00:18:47It's chocolate, right?
00:18:48Yeah.
00:18:49Mom.
00:18:49Yeah.
00:18:49Don't come crying to me when you're bouncing off the walls later.
00:18:52I really, I don't think it's fair that you're taking out what's going on with me and Melanie
00:18:56on Dad.
00:18:57That is not what I'm doing, sweetie.
00:18:59We're all adults.
00:19:00We're all responsible for our own actions.
00:19:46Amanda, where have you been?
00:19:48I miss you.
00:19:49Oh, what is that hideous noise?
00:19:53We're, um, just doing some renovations.
00:19:57Oh, that is so stressful.
00:19:58All those workers in your house?
00:20:00But it's good for my plan.
00:20:02What plan?
00:20:03Girl's spa day.
00:20:04I'm buying.
00:20:05I owe you for the time I forgot my purse.
00:20:08Can you just hold on a second?
00:20:09I have another call.
00:20:16I have another call.
00:20:18Hello.
00:20:18Grant and Melanie's residence.
00:20:21Uh, hi.
00:20:22Is Melanie there?
00:20:24She's not in.
00:20:25Do you know when she'll be back?
00:20:27She's out of town.
00:20:28On a trip.
00:20:29Around the world.
00:20:31On a big boat.
00:20:32The Titanic.
00:20:34Thank you for calling.
00:20:38Amanda?
00:20:38You are amazed.
00:20:40I've never needed a massage more than right now.
00:20:42Should we meet at the club spa at, like, noon?
00:20:44Mel?
00:20:51Hello?
00:20:54Amanda?
00:20:55Hey, are we on?
00:20:58Yes, absolutely.
00:20:59I'll see you then.
00:21:00Ciao, ciao.
00:21:21My shoulders are killing me today.
00:21:24Can you focus right there, please?
00:21:31Heather, can we get started?
00:21:33I'm dying.
00:21:45Oh, that's nice.
00:21:48Hmm.
00:21:49I'm so tense today.
00:21:52Hmm?
00:21:53Yeah, bad day.
00:21:55Family.
00:21:57My sister called me today.
00:21:59I haven't heard from her in years,
00:22:01and I swear all it takes is one phone call
00:22:04to just send me over the edge.
00:22:06Can you not go so deep?
00:22:08Ow, ow, ow!
00:22:11You're not Heather?
00:22:13Astute observation, Watson.
00:22:14Who's Watson?
00:22:16Never mind.
00:22:17What are you doing here?
00:22:19Well, you wouldn't talk to me on the phone.
00:22:20Yeah, and I don't want to talk to you in person.
00:22:22Look, this is not my idea of fun, either.
00:22:25What do you want?
00:22:26I thought you should know that our parents are splitting up.
00:22:31What?
00:22:32Meet me outside in ten.
00:22:34We'll lose the toga.
00:23:02Dad's been living with me for a week.
00:23:08I just called Mom, and she seems fine.
00:23:12Why would she be fine?
00:23:14I'm sure you're just overreacting, as usual.
00:23:17Really?
00:23:18Fact one, Mom drives by the old house, like, every day.
00:23:22Fact two, Mom doesn't cook anymore.
00:23:25She loved to cook.
00:23:26It made her happy.
00:23:27Fact three, Mom stopped being happy when you and I quit talking.
00:23:32Fact four, Mom and Dad are separating.
00:23:34So, fact five, it's all our fault.
00:23:36Okay, what do you want from me?
00:23:37Maybe we can stop this.
00:23:40If we just seem like we're getting along, for Mom and Dad's sake.
00:23:50There's something I want.
00:23:54What?
00:23:56I want an apology.
00:23:59I am not going to apologize for doing the right thing.
00:24:05Stupid, cross-pacing, selfish self!
00:24:09Sister Issues.
00:24:18Incoming.
00:24:21It's beautiful.
00:24:23Did you make it?
00:24:24It's the kids.
00:24:25No, it's not.
00:24:26Mike's the one who likes to play with toys.
00:24:28We're just about ready with your clock.
00:24:30We're waiting on a few parts.
00:24:32Actually, I came here for something else.
00:24:34I think I saw some marionettes.
00:24:36Dolls are his favorite.
00:24:37Would you shut up?
00:24:38We're not in high school.
00:24:39Well, you are, but we're not.
00:24:41And you're the ones playing with dolls.
00:24:45We have a few marionettes hanging over here.
00:24:54Oh, um...
00:24:56I'm looking for one with red hair.
00:24:58There is one redhead, but she's on hold for another customer.
00:25:02Do you think I could at least see her?
00:25:04Yeah.
00:25:21She's perfect.
00:25:23Is there any way I could buy her from you?
00:25:26Oh, I'm sure Mike can figure out a way.
00:25:28Don't we have a train to catch?
00:25:29I think I'm cool.
00:25:30I think I'm cool.
00:25:31Who's he?
00:25:32He's my, uh, part owner, part son.
00:25:36Difficult to explain.
00:25:38So the guy this is on hold for is a pretty big customer.
00:25:41I'll match his offer.
00:25:42There's a lot of business with me.
00:25:43I'll double his offer.
00:25:44You think I can be bought?
00:25:45She knows you can be bought.
00:25:47Lunch.
00:25:50Excuse me?
00:25:51Have lunch with me.
00:25:53But, like, a date?
00:25:55I'd like two people eating food together midday.
00:25:58I'll take you to my favorite restaurant.
00:26:00Meet me here tomorrow at two.
00:26:02Uh, tomorrow?
00:26:03I work tomorrow.
00:26:04It's the weekend.
00:26:08Okay.
00:26:10Okay, fine.
00:26:12Um, bye.
00:26:14Aren't you forgetting someone?
00:26:23Janine.
00:26:24Her name was Janine.
00:26:28I'll see you tomorrow.
00:26:30Two o'clock.
00:26:33Nice play.
00:26:34Find something she wants and exploit it.
00:26:37Where's your pride?
00:26:38Pride's overrated, kid.
00:26:40You'll learn.
00:27:00Don't you have a housekeeper for that?
00:27:03What are you doing here?
00:27:06I have something for you.
00:27:08No thanks.
00:27:10Please.
00:27:12I just want ten minutes of your time.
00:27:30Open it.
00:27:41Janine.
00:27:42Janine.
00:27:42It's not really Janine.
00:27:44It's a replacement.
00:27:47I never should have buried her.
00:27:54I never should have done a lot of things, actually.
00:27:57But, like, walking out on my wedding day?
00:28:04You know, you've always done what felt right to you.
00:28:06For as long as I can remember, you've just been doing your own thing.
00:28:13And now you have this fabulous job.
00:28:17You're up for a promotion, I hear.
00:28:21Life just keeps getting better and better for you.
00:28:26Meanwhile, all I've ever cared about is how I look.
00:28:32I've been starving myself to fit into the perfect little black dress to attend the perfect function with the perfect
00:28:37people.
00:28:40And you end up on a magazine cover.
00:28:43I'm sorry.
00:28:44Am I supposed to feel bad for you?
00:28:46Is this a pity party in the backyard of Melanie's 5,000 square foot home?
00:28:51Because if it is, I think I have other plans.
00:29:08You were right about Grant.
00:29:10He left me six months ago.
00:29:16He never wanted to marry me.
00:29:18He was only doing it because his daddy wanted him to marry someone who would look good on his arm.
00:29:24I've never had a job.
00:29:25I have no idea what I'm good at.
00:29:28And I don't even know where to begin to figure that out.
00:29:34Installing stuff just to pay the bills.
00:29:38Living room furniture went this week.
00:29:41So.
00:29:45Mal, I'm so sorry.
00:29:49Me too.
00:29:57Do you want to hang out tomorrow?
00:30:01I can't.
00:30:03Oh.
00:30:06Okay.
00:30:07I mean, I get it.
00:30:08It's not like we're going to be best friends again.
00:30:10No, it's not like that.
00:30:11I just, I have somewhere I promised I'd be, so.
00:30:17But we'll figure this out together.
00:30:19Okay?
00:30:22Okay.
00:30:26Okay.
00:30:43You look beautiful.
00:30:46May I accompany you to your seat, princess?
00:30:49It's right this way.
00:30:52It's not like you.
00:30:53Bye.
00:31:00Bye.
00:31:01Bye.
00:31:03Bye.
00:31:14Bye.
00:31:24What? You did all this for me?
00:31:29Lunch is just about ready. It's a good thing that you are punctual.
00:31:34You're cooking?
00:31:36I'm barbecuing, which is to say I am man cooking.
00:31:41You realize not one of these is matching, right?
00:31:45Why should they?
00:31:46Most people like matching sets. You know, meat, organized packages.
00:31:51Where's the fun in that? I'm glad you're here.
00:31:55Do you eat meat?
00:31:57I'll eat anything.
00:31:59I like that.
00:32:02Looks delicious.
00:32:06All right. Let's dig in.
00:32:12So Ryan is your part son?
00:32:17Yeah. His dad John and I went to school together.
00:32:21He was a few years ahead of me.
00:32:23He was the one that got me into woodworking.
00:32:25I just loved how you could look at a piece of wood and know exactly what it should be.
00:32:32We even planned to open a shop together until all the turmoil in Iraq started.
00:32:38We wanted to do our part so we joined the Marines.
00:32:41We spent a few years overseas.
00:32:44John was really missing Jill and Ryan.
00:32:48He, uh, he never made it back.
00:32:55I decided to move here and open up the shop in his honor.
00:33:01Ryan had a hard time adjusting.
00:33:03He was acting out, driving his mom nuts.
00:33:07So I thought I'd give him a job at the shop.
00:33:09See if I could help guide him in the right direction.
00:33:21Tell me about Janine.
00:33:22She was my sister's favorite doll.
00:33:25It meant a lot to her.
00:33:26What happened to her?
00:33:28I buried her.
00:33:30Oh.
00:33:31In the time capsule.
00:33:33I wonder if it's still there.
00:33:35Okay. You've lost me.
00:33:37We buried a time capsule in our, your yard.
00:33:43Is this before or after you broke in?
00:33:47When we were kids.
00:33:50Maybe if we found it my parents would.
00:33:53Do you have a metal detector?
00:34:07I've got nothing.
00:34:09You sure it had metal in it?
00:34:11No.
00:34:13Okay.
00:34:14Um, and you sure you buried it out here?
00:34:17Somewhere out here.
00:34:19Somewhere out here.
00:34:20Somewhere out here.
00:34:21Uh, any chance you can narrow that down just a little bit?
00:34:25My dad told my sister and I each half the direction so we need each other to find it.
00:34:30Hmm.
00:34:43Not so much for that.
00:34:44Yeah.
00:34:46Hey, can't you just ask your sister for help?
00:34:49It's complicated.
00:34:51Hmm.
00:34:52You have a big family?
00:34:54Yeah.
00:34:55Really big.
00:34:57Are they coming here for Christmas?
00:35:00No.
00:35:01Are you gonna see them?
00:35:04It's complicated.
00:35:08Oh, this house is amazing at Christmas.
00:35:11Yeah.
00:35:12Come on.
00:35:16We always had a big Christmas tree here.
00:35:19My mom and Mel actually called it a Charlie Brown tree because my dad insisted on cutting it down himself.
00:35:23I love to go with him.
00:35:25Out in the woods, just us and us all.
00:35:28We have a fire here and homemade wreath.
00:35:31Pine garlands everywhere.
00:35:33The entire house smelled like a forest.
00:35:37Well, you gotta try my apple cider.
00:35:52Nobody sings anymore, but when we were growing up we'd go caroling and just go house to house and hand
00:35:57out my mom's Christmas cookies.
00:35:58What was your favorite?
00:36:10Holy night, the stars are brightly shining.
00:36:18It is the night of our dear Savior's birth.
00:36:29Oh, come on. Keep going.
00:36:31Please.
00:36:37Fall on your knees.
00:36:42Oh, hear the angel voices.
00:36:52Oh, night.
00:36:55Oh, night.
00:37:01Oh, night divine.
00:37:06Oh, night divine.
00:37:15Where did you learn to sing like that?
00:37:17My sister sings too.
00:37:19Or used to.
00:37:20And so does my dad actually.
00:37:22We're kind of a musical family.
00:37:25I always thought that was normal.
00:37:26I guess I just assumed that every family sat around a piano with a guitar and sang.
00:37:34It was so special.
00:37:36And you're very lucky.
00:37:40I am.
00:37:47Mike, what if we did that again this year?
00:37:49What do you mean?
00:37:51Used the house, or your house, and we did an old-fashioned family Christmas just like we used to.
00:37:56I'll take care of absolutely everything.
00:37:58Your whole family, who I've never met, here?
00:38:04Please?
00:38:09Okay.
00:38:11Okay.
00:38:14On one condition.
00:38:16The town Christmas dance is coming up, and Ryan has a crush.
00:38:22He asked me to teach him how to dance, and I'm the world's worst dancer.
00:38:26He's never asked me for anything before, so it's kind of a big deal.
00:38:32Can you help?
00:38:34I'm not the greatest dancer.
00:38:36You've got to be better than me.
00:38:45Hey Ryan, have you seen my medal?
00:38:47What medal?
00:38:48The one you found the other day.
00:38:50I put it back like you asked.
00:38:52I can't find it.
00:38:54Oh, hey.
00:38:54Hi.
00:38:55I thought we'd do it here.
00:38:57Okay.
00:39:01Let's start with something a little more chill.
00:39:04Actually, do you have anything classical?
00:39:08Uh...
00:39:14Perfect.
00:39:16Alright, well, um, let's get started before I completely lose my nerve.
00:39:22We're going to start with a very simple wall step.
00:39:25So, ready?
00:39:27Like this.
00:39:34Yeah, I'm not going to do that.
00:39:35No way.
00:39:37I'm kidding.
00:39:38You don't have to do that.
00:39:39It's actually really simple.
00:39:42Mike, do you want to start with you?
00:39:45Okay.
00:39:46Alright, um, just face me.
00:39:48Face you?
00:39:49Yeah.
00:39:50And put one hand there.
00:39:53Okay.
00:39:54Okay.
00:39:54And then this one up.
00:40:01And so you want to make a real simple box shape with your feet.
00:40:06Um, so step towards me with your right foot.
00:40:10Well, not yet.
00:40:14Um...
00:40:14Okay, ready?
00:40:17One, two, three.
00:40:20One, two, three.
00:40:22Good.
00:40:23And just relax.
00:40:24Okay.
00:40:25Okay.
00:40:26Again.
00:40:28One, two, three.
00:40:30And spin.
00:40:31Two, three.
00:40:33Good.
00:40:34One, two, three.
00:40:35Hello?
00:40:37Hey.
00:40:38Still here.
00:40:40I'm the one going to the dance.
00:40:45Maybe.
00:40:46Have you asked her yet?
00:40:49What's her name?
00:40:52Rose.
00:40:53By any other name?
00:40:55Wood smell is sweet.
00:40:57Wow.
00:40:58Somebody's been reading their Shakespeare.
00:41:01Well, Rose will love it if you bust out some moves.
00:41:06Three, four, two, three, four, five, two, three, four.
00:41:14And it's not over.
00:41:16You totally remember it.
00:41:20Oh, my.
00:41:22Hold on a sec.
00:41:24Hold on.
00:41:24Hold on.
00:41:28I still have your old guitar.
00:41:34You kept it?
00:41:36Yeah, you left it at my wedding.
00:41:49Okay.
00:41:50Okay.
00:41:51Ahem.
00:41:56Silly girl with your game face on.
00:42:01Sing!
00:42:02You sing.
00:42:02People to see you places to go.
00:42:06Good.
00:42:08A tired heart, a little angel, I couldn't anymore.
00:42:13Racing through life all alone.
00:42:19Ooh.
00:42:25Like a wildfire waiting on the side of the highway.
00:42:30I found you.
00:42:33I found it and I feel the grave.
00:42:37Slowed me down and made it okay to catch my breath.
00:42:42Just to take it away and smile again.
00:42:45Yeah.
00:42:48That was pretty good.
00:42:50I remembered it.
00:42:54Thank you for coming over.
00:42:56I needed this.
00:42:57Seriously.
00:42:58Oh, I'm here.
00:43:00If known, I'm always here.
00:43:05You know, I knew I was making a mistake.
00:43:10Every inch of me was saying not to marry Grant.
00:43:14But...
00:43:16I just...
00:43:17smiled through it like I always do.
00:43:20That's what happens when you have a gazillion watt smile.
00:43:24Stop.
00:43:28If you could do anything, anything in the world, what would you do?
00:43:33Hmm.
00:43:36Be a mom?
00:43:39I know that's a totally uncool thing to say.
00:43:43No, it's not.
00:43:44It's not at all.
00:43:45Just because I'm independent and obsessed with my career doesn't make it right.
00:43:51I'm probably gonna end up alone with 13 cats.
00:43:55Baker's doesn't.
00:44:00What's that smile?
00:44:04What?
00:44:06Um, who is he?
00:44:09No one.
00:44:10Who is he?
00:44:12No one, honestly!
00:44:13You lie!
00:44:14I know when you're lying.
00:44:16I still know when you're lying.
00:44:17Hey!
00:44:27Interesting notes you sent out.
00:44:29The deadline's been pushed up.
00:44:30We need the book ready for publication ASAP.
00:44:33Pushed up to when?
00:44:35Just before Christmas.
00:44:37No, there's way too much work to do.
00:44:39You know, I was surprised to see that you recommended that the author pull the brothers out of a novel
00:44:43about the family.
00:44:44I thought you were just making them sisters.
00:44:46Well, it's the parent's story.
00:44:48The book's called My Family, My Friends.
00:44:50Eh, but that's a working title.
00:44:53You know, some of the other editors have complained that you're highly opinionated.
00:44:56And I said I like highly opinionated.
00:44:59People have said that about me.
00:45:01But there's a difference between opinionated and biased.
00:45:06Are you taking me off the project, Harry?
00:45:08I have a few proposals that I can't put off, but I'll be back at the end of the day
00:45:11to hear your pitch for the release.
00:45:13And I suggest you adjust it appropriately.
00:45:16Is there any way I could give it to you in the morning?
00:45:19I'm not staying late.
00:45:21Are you feeling okay?
00:45:23Yeah, I'm feeling fine. I just have a prior engagement.
00:45:27A prior engagement with your computer?
00:45:29No, with a human being.
00:45:31Now I know you're not feeling okay.
00:45:33Very funny.
00:45:35Who is he?
00:45:37Nobody. He's no one. People do that.
00:45:40Yeah, normal people. But you?
00:45:42He must be some kind of prince.
00:45:44Well, he did call me his princess.
00:45:48He did what?
00:45:50Nothing. He did nothing. He's just a regular guy.
00:45:53You like him.
00:45:54I barely know him.
00:45:56Is there any way we can push this release to early January?
00:46:00Deadline's not changing.
00:46:01Good luck.
00:46:03With what? The date or the book?
00:46:06Both.
00:46:23What do you think?
00:46:36Never brought anybody here before.
00:46:59I used to come here as a kid. When I wanted to be alone. No one could ever find me
00:47:04here.
00:47:05It's so peaceful.
00:47:09Come here to write. I wrote my first song here. I write all my songs here.
00:47:15Crashing into love and leaving. Barely breathing. Another great escape.
00:47:23Reaching for the silver lining just to find I was standing in my own way.
00:47:31I was staring at the barrel of a broken heart. Chasing a forever re-burned out star.
00:47:39Looking at the wishing bell I fell into. It's true.
00:47:46Baby, it was always true.
00:47:57Guys, this is my sister Melanie. Mel, this is Mike and Ryan.
00:48:01Are you single?
00:48:03Are you legal? Mel's here to help with Operation Home for Christmas.
00:48:07Um, English?
00:48:10I have a little plan.
00:48:13A little plan? The invasion of Normandy wasn't this detailed.
00:48:17Oh yeah, Kate is a bit of a control freak.
00:48:20The short version is this. Mom and Dad have not had a Christmas with us since we were in that
00:48:24house.
00:48:25So I figured if we could get them to show up there for Christmas with all of us there, just
00:48:29like we used to do,
00:48:30might be enough to save their marriage. And our family.
00:48:35Christmas dinner. Pepper roasted ham and mashed potatoes. Anyone else hungry?
00:48:41I would love it if you guys were there. It's the least that we could do.
00:48:45We'll see. They may just want to spend it as a family.
00:48:49Okay, first things first, the tree.
00:48:55So will it be a Douglas fir, blue spruce, scotch pie?
00:49:03I don't know, what's your favorite for a Christmas tree?
00:49:06I'm not sure. This will be the first real tree I've ever had.
00:49:10Even as a kid?
00:49:18You'll know the right one when you see it.
00:49:29My dad always said that the best trees were right in here.
00:49:34Which one looks good to you?
00:49:35Uh, you do.
00:49:39Okay. I meant what tree it looks good to you.
00:49:42Uh, I like that one.
00:49:47Okay.
00:49:48Come on.
00:49:50Watch yourself.
00:49:51Okay.
00:49:56Alright, what do we want?
00:49:57Right, right in front of the window.
00:49:59Okay.
00:49:59Get careful.
00:50:01Oh.
00:50:07Perfect.
00:50:10Here's the last two O'Brien boxes from the attic.
00:50:13They're mad dusty.
00:50:15Oh.
00:50:22I made this for Andrew Hilton in the fifth grade.
00:50:25The love of my life.
00:50:27And it was all downhill from there.
00:50:30Ugh.
00:50:31I can't believe all this stuff is still here.
00:50:33These are cool.
00:50:35Dad cut a slice out of every Christmas tree we ever had.
00:50:38One for every year.
00:50:40Until we stopped being together.
00:50:44How many years did you miss?
00:50:46Four? Five.
00:50:53This is the year we pretended we were twins.
00:50:55Aww.
00:50:59It's too bad they broke.
00:51:02Dad would be heartbroken if he saw this.
00:51:08Hey, what's the big news?
00:51:09I'm so excited.
00:51:10I'm going to Costa Rica for the holidays.
00:51:14What?
00:51:14No, you can't.
00:51:17We leave at the end of the week.
00:51:18I already got our tickets.
00:51:20Who's we?
00:51:21Gus and I.
00:51:22It's going to be a big guys adventure tour.
00:51:25Gus has a dog.
00:51:27Come on, he's good company.
00:51:30This is so good, Sam.
00:51:33Who are they?
00:51:34Who are these people?
00:51:35Baby Sam, Mama, Wendy.
00:51:38I'm not your mama.
00:51:40Yes, you are.
00:51:41You're the best mama ever.
00:51:46I'm not so sure my daughters would agree with you.
00:51:53One, two, three.
00:51:55One, two, three.
00:51:56One, two, three.
00:51:58Turn, two, three.
00:51:59Good.
00:52:00One, two, three.
00:52:02She's always had two left feet.
00:52:04She looks good to me.
00:52:05She was too shy to take classes.
00:52:09I think it's cute.
00:52:11Here, let me show you.
00:52:15Just follow me.
00:52:16I'll follow you anywhere.
00:52:18Hello, Ryan.
00:52:19Okay, and...
00:52:24And then you just want to put your own little style into it.
00:52:30Alright, it's time to step it up.
00:52:32Mal, you want to show them?
00:52:33Yeah.
00:52:34Okay, I'll leave.
00:52:35No, I'll leave.
00:52:37Okay.
00:52:39Ready?
00:52:40Yep.
00:52:49Yeah!
00:52:50Woo-hoo-hoo!
00:52:51Got it?
00:52:52Think so.
00:52:53Alright.
00:52:56Okay.
00:52:56Alright.
00:52:58One, two, three.
00:53:01One, two, three.
00:53:01Don't keep trying to do it.
00:53:05Don't keep trying to do it.
00:53:06Really?
00:53:10Merry Christmas, bud.
00:53:11Merry Christmas, bud.
00:53:14Congratulations.
00:53:16Thanks.
00:53:18Are you going to say it?
00:53:21You were right.
00:53:23This book is going to be a huge success.
00:53:24You're going to be known as the top editor for Family Stories.
00:53:28So you better get that figured out.
00:53:30I'm not going to carry you on the next one.
00:53:33Merry Christmas.
00:53:49I was never one to take things slow.
00:53:52I wouldn't wait for the ebb and flow.
00:53:55Didn't bother to turn the page.
00:53:58I'd tear it out and throw it away.
00:54:01People gave and I would take it.
00:54:04All throttle I never could break.
00:54:07Looking out for number one.
00:54:10Never gonna be outdone.
00:54:12When I stumbled into your life.
00:54:17You were high on hopes, no money.
00:54:20When things are good, they're fun.
00:54:22When they're bad, they're funny.
00:54:24You'd change my point of view.
00:54:27You'd change my point of view.
00:54:28I'd find a girl and really love her.
00:54:32Make her a wife and a mother.
00:54:35Through all this selfishness and greed.
00:54:38I see that all I really need
00:54:42Is you and me.
00:54:49I'd lay alone and scratch my head
00:54:52In the middle of a king size bed
00:54:55Half a man wanting to be whole
00:54:58A full wallet but an empty soul
00:55:01I wanted it all so bad
00:55:04Ten times more than the Joneses had
00:55:07Biggest house in the neighborhood
00:55:10Never did me any good
00:55:13Life's gonna blow into your life
00:55:17I don't hope, no money
00:55:20When things are good, they're fun
00:55:21Fix the angels?
00:55:23It was Mel's idea.
00:55:32You can't have a real tree without a topper.
00:55:44I'll drop off Mel on the way to my shop.
00:55:46Great.
00:55:47Thanks Mike.
00:55:48Okay then, here's the plan.
00:55:49I'll be in charge of Dad
00:55:50I gotta keep him from getting on that plane to Costa Rica
00:55:53I mean, people go there and they don't wanna come back.
00:55:56Mel, you take Mom.
00:55:57Done.
00:56:01Where is your Christmas spirit?
00:56:03Alright.
00:56:10Thank you for everything.
00:56:12I'll see you tomorrow.
00:56:13Yeah.
00:56:22Alright Ryan.
00:56:23What's going on?
00:56:23What's going on?
00:56:25Put that outside?
00:56:27Yeah.
00:56:35Mom's here.
00:56:37Bye.
00:56:38See ya.
00:56:43Hi honey.
00:56:44You look cute.
00:56:46Mom, gee.
00:56:47How'd the decorating go?
00:56:49What's it look like to you?
00:56:50It looks beautiful.
00:56:55I'll be one minute, alright?
00:56:57Okay.
00:57:01Go wait in the car, I'm just gonna say hi to Mike.
00:57:07You didn't have to get me anything.
00:57:09I wanted to.
00:57:11You mean a lot to me.
00:57:17No.
00:57:18Too slow.
00:57:22Are you sure about this?
00:57:24Of course I want to spend Christmas with him, but he wants to spend it with you.
00:57:27And given the circumstances...
00:57:29You shouldn't have a choice.
00:57:31We need to set rules.
00:57:32I know.
00:57:33But it's the holiday.
00:57:37You sure you're not gonna spend the night alone?
00:57:40I'm gonna be with some of the other wives who have also...
00:57:43And if you change your mind...
00:57:45I will call you.
00:57:49I was really worried about him.
00:57:51But he seems better since he's been spending time with you.
00:57:55I'm so grateful.
00:57:58I'm glad to hear that.
00:58:00Doesn't always feel that way.
00:58:03Yeah, well...
00:58:04Baby steps, right?
00:58:05Right.
00:58:06Baby steps.
00:58:09Merry Christmas.
00:58:10Merry Christmas.
00:58:12No.
00:58:14Drive safe.
00:58:22Hey.
00:58:24Hey.
00:58:28Is everything alright?
00:58:30Yeah.
00:58:31It's fine.
00:58:33Alright, let's go.
00:58:42Oh.
00:58:42Hi, katie cat.
00:58:44No, it's weird.
00:58:45I gotta catch a flight.
00:58:47Can't this wait till I get back?
00:58:51Your mom's there?
00:58:53How?
00:58:54Why?
00:58:54It's amazing.
00:58:56Oh.
00:59:07You forgot the what, when and where.
00:59:09Get in.
00:59:13Come on, Gus.
00:59:14Here we go.
00:59:15Let's go.
00:59:17Alright.
00:59:38Melanie.
00:59:40What are we doing here?
00:59:41I wanted to show you.
00:59:43What?
00:59:45It's the same decorations?
00:59:47That's weird.
00:59:49Where are you going?
00:59:50Honey, we don't know this guy.
00:59:52Come on.
01:00:00Katie.
01:00:02What?
01:00:03Welcome home.
01:00:12Hi.
01:00:22Merry Christmas Eve.
01:00:38Come on.
01:00:39Come on, Gus.
01:00:40Come on, Gus.
01:00:42Come on.
01:00:46Come on.
01:00:46Come on, Gus.
01:00:46These cookies taste so good.
01:00:48Just like yours.
01:00:50Yeah.
01:00:50So is everyone ready?
01:00:53Okay.
01:00:55Here it goes.
01:01:00Wow.
01:01:01That's nice.
01:01:02That's really nice.
01:01:03Mike put all this together.
01:01:05It bothered me that you didn't have trees for those five years.
01:01:09I didn't think there should be a gap.
01:01:11Mike, this is really great.
01:01:14You know, honey, you ought to toss me out more often.
01:01:16I didn't throw you out.
01:01:18You left.
01:01:18Well, let's just say you weren't too upset to see me go.
01:01:21Yes, I was.
01:01:22Really?
01:01:22Yes.
01:01:23Really.
01:01:23Oh, my gosh.
01:01:24Are you sure you still want to spend Christmas with us?
01:01:26I wouldn't miss it.
01:01:27But I do have to get going.
01:01:30Where are you going?
01:01:31My 15-year-old business partner has a date to the town dance.
01:01:35And I'm his ride.
01:01:36Do you need a date?
01:01:38I think Kate's free.
01:01:39Mom?
01:01:41I think Kate wants to spend some time with her family.
01:01:45Marry that man.
01:01:46He has a girlfriend.
01:01:49What do you mean?
01:01:51I saw him with Ryan's mom.
01:01:56She's just a friend.
01:02:01You know what?
01:02:02I can't do this anyway.
01:02:04Not a relationship or something.
01:02:11Go.
01:02:13Go.
01:02:16You know, if you wanted to use the house, all you had to do is ask.
01:02:31You just had to get back at me, didn't you?
01:02:34What?
01:02:36I was trying to protect you.
01:02:38Oh, as if you care.
01:02:41I do care, actually.
01:02:44Maybe that's the problem with us.
01:02:47No.
01:02:50You just care too much.
01:02:52I'm going.
01:02:58She was trying to do the right thing.
01:03:00Because she's your sister, sweetie.
01:03:02She loves you.
01:03:03Oh, and would you look who's talking?
01:03:04What?
01:03:05She learned this from you.
01:03:06I didn't do anything.
01:03:08This was not a good idea.
01:03:21I'm Katie Katz.
01:03:27I guess I missed my flight for nothing.
01:03:31Sorry, Dad.
01:03:41Merry Christmas morning.
01:03:43No, it's Aunt Mary.
01:03:44True.
01:03:45I'm sorry about Mom.
01:03:48You know what I like about books?
01:03:50They make you feel something, but then I don't want to anymore.
01:03:53I just put them down.
01:03:54So that's what you're going to do, then?
01:03:55Just follow Mike away?
01:03:57Well, I don't really think I have a choice.
01:03:59I thought you liked him, sweetheart.
01:04:01I did.
01:04:03I do.
01:04:05He doesn't feel the same way.
01:04:07It just...
01:04:08It hurts.
01:04:10You know, you guys...
01:04:11No, no, no, no, no.
01:04:12Don't go blaming us.
01:04:22Hello?
01:04:29Well, I guess we should at least clean up.
01:04:39Let's go.
01:05:11Dad.
01:05:14What is it?
01:05:22Five foster families.
01:05:28He said he had a big family,
01:05:31but he'd never had a family Christmas.
01:05:33That explains his willingness to let us into his home.
01:05:36And why he was so excited.
01:05:40He kept saying how lucky I was to have you all.
01:05:44I must have hated the thought
01:05:46that our family wouldn't be together.
01:05:49Maybe that's why he's so close to Ryan and his mom.
01:05:54Oh, yeah.
01:05:57We have to fix this.
01:06:02Mel, please don't.
01:06:13I saw Grant flirting with one of your bridesmaids
01:06:16at your wedding,
01:06:17and it killed me.
01:06:24But I was wrong
01:06:27to walk out on you the way I did.
01:06:36I'm so sorry.
01:06:43I should have said that to you a long time ago.
01:06:51It's all I ever wanted.
01:07:08Are you sure you don't want to spend Christmas with your mom?
01:07:12Yeah.
01:07:31What are you doing with my medal?
01:07:34I was going to put it back.
01:07:35You were going to.
01:07:38You stole from me.
01:07:40Something meaningful,
01:07:42and you lied to me about it.
01:07:44I told Rose that it was my dad's.
01:07:48I'm sorry.
01:07:51Wait.
01:08:03Wish me luck.
01:08:04Good luck.
01:08:05Good luck, sweetie.
01:08:11I wonder what she's going to say.
01:08:16Where are you going?
01:08:17I'm not missing this.
01:08:31Look, I know things can get confusing.
01:08:36Especially without your dad here to help out.
01:08:40When I was in high school,
01:08:42I used to look at all the other kids
01:08:43with their families,
01:08:44and I would just pray that that could be me.
01:08:52You're not alone.
01:08:55You have a mother who loves you,
01:08:56and I'm here for you.
01:09:00I'm on your side.
01:09:02Okay?
01:09:04You don't need to worry about impressing Rose.
01:09:07I saw your moves on the dance floor.
01:09:09You were killing it.
01:09:10I had a good teacher.
01:09:12I don't think we're going to see much of Kate anymore.
01:09:16Why not?
01:09:22I'm going to check that out.
01:09:25Saved by the noise.
01:09:37Can I come in?
01:09:40Insurance regulations prohibits visitors
01:09:42when we're not open.
01:09:47Then can you come out?
01:10:05I'm sorry.
01:10:07I panicked.
01:10:09I do that.
01:10:11It wasn't you.
01:10:13Actually, I don't know if it was you,
01:10:15because I didn't give you a chance to explain.
01:10:19It's true.
01:10:20I thought that if we used the house,
01:10:24we could help the family.
01:10:27But then when we started working
01:10:28and dancing together,
01:10:32it just felt so good with you.
01:10:37Maybe too good.
01:10:44When Mel told me about Jill,
01:10:46I guess I just...
01:10:48I assumed the worst.
01:10:59Do you have feelings for Jill?
01:11:05I love Jill.
01:11:10I love Jill like a sister.
01:11:13She's family to me.
01:11:17Okay.
01:11:18That's good.
01:11:20That's good.
01:11:21Is it?
01:11:26Come spend Christmas with us.
01:11:28My entire family wants you there.
01:11:32Oh, so this is about
01:11:34making your family happy again.
01:11:35No, it's not all about them.
01:11:40I want you there.
01:11:43Your house is all set up.
01:11:46The experience wouldn't be complete
01:11:47if there wasn't at least one family fight,
01:11:49and we've already had that.
01:11:51So, you're safe.
01:11:57Sure.
01:12:02Drum roll, please.
01:12:14You just had to mess everything up for me again?
01:12:16I asked you to wait in the car.
01:12:18We were just trying to support you.
01:12:20I thought we could help you.
01:12:21You were great, honey.
01:12:24Ryan's grabbing his jacket.
01:12:27What say we get this whole motley crew together
01:12:29and go back to the old house with some celebration?
01:12:34Yeah?
01:12:41Invite Jill, too.
01:12:43Okay.
01:12:44I want the whole family to be there.
01:12:47for the best Christmas yet.
01:12:52Hey, small steps.
01:12:54You're just little.
01:12:55Sorry.
01:12:57There we go.
01:12:58Yeah, right there.
01:12:59Right there.
01:13:03Okay.
01:13:07Whoa, don't fall.
01:13:11Gus.
01:13:12Oh, Gus.
01:13:13Yeah.
01:13:15All right, let's do this.
01:13:21Ready?
01:13:22Yeah.
01:13:31Here.
01:13:33Now we both have one.
01:13:37Oh, the happy family.
01:13:39Greatest present then.
01:13:42Greatest present now.
01:13:43Oh, my gosh.
01:13:44Look at the glasses.
01:13:48Wendy.
01:13:50It's for you.
01:13:52It's for me?
01:13:54Yeah.
01:13:56Okay.
01:13:59Here.
01:14:00Wow, it's beautiful.
01:14:11It's the clock.
01:14:12It's the clock.
01:14:15Did you do this?
01:14:17Yeah.
01:14:19It's beautiful work.
01:14:21It's perfect.
01:14:31Don't you even think about it.
01:14:33What?
01:14:34What?
01:14:41I don't know how to...
01:14:43I don't know how to live without you.
01:14:46And I don't want to learn.
01:14:50I'm going to try to be more patient.
01:14:54I'll try to be more aware.
01:14:57Good.
01:14:59Merry Christmas night, sweetheart.
01:15:02Merry Christmas night.
01:15:14What are you doing?
01:15:16It's for your dad.
01:15:18He deserved it.
01:15:19This is John's?
01:15:21It should be.
01:15:25It makes me feel like he's right here with us.
01:15:36This tree is for family.
01:15:39Everyone we love is together at Christmas.
01:15:43Okay, everyone.
01:15:45Picture time.
01:15:45Yes.
01:15:46Let's do it.
01:15:48Okay.
01:15:49Good morning.
01:15:52Where's Gus?
01:15:53Ryan and Jim.
01:15:55Where's Gus?
01:15:55Gus, Gus.
01:15:56Ready?
01:15:57Oh, sure.
01:16:01He's as big as you are.
01:16:04Everyone smile like you mean it now.
01:16:06There you go.
01:16:27You're welcome.
01:16:31You're welcome.
01:16:31You're welcome.
01:16:31You're welcome.
01:16:31You're welcome.
01:16:31You're welcome.
01:16:33You're welcome.
01:16:35You're welcome.
01:17:46There's Christmas in our hearts.
01:17:51I wanna be home for Christmas.
01:17:56I gotta be home for Christmas.
01:18:01There ain't no way I'll miss it this year.
01:18:08There ain't no way I'll miss it this year.
01:18:12Everything I wanted, I'm proud of, I'm proud of.
01:18:16Christmas is the greatest gift, to be with friends and family.
01:18:27I wanna be home for Christmas.
01:18:32I gotta be home for Christmas.
01:18:37There ain't no way I'll miss it this year.
01:18:47That's my girl.
01:18:49I gotta be home for Christmas.
01:18:52I gotta be home for Christmas.
01:18:57There's no better place.
01:19:00I wanna be home for Christmas.
01:19:04I wanna be home for Christmas.
01:19:05I wanna be home for Christmas.
01:19:05One more time.
01:19:06I wanna be home for Christmas.
01:19:09So there it is.
01:19:10We may think we're independent, that we don't need anyone.
01:19:13But what I'm realizing is we are who we are because of our families.
01:19:17And that connection is never lost.
01:19:22It's our responsibility to work at it.
01:19:24And to continue to expand and grow as a family.
01:19:27To include and accept others.
01:19:30Because family really should be friends.
01:19:33And friends should be family.
01:19:35And we all, each and every one, want a place to go home for Christmas.
01:19:48Hello everyone.
01:19:49Today we are showing my slides.
01:19:52This is my girl girl.
01:19:53And my girl's face is holding my eyes.
01:19:56People are watching my face.
01:19:57And now everyone will sing this picture.
01:20:00Let's see it as a girl.
