All language subtitles for When Calls the Heart.S07E00.HDTV - Home for Christmas

My very favourite time of
the year is here again.

Christmas is always special
in Hope Valley.

I love our town customs,
new and old.

But this year we have something
extra to celebrate.

Lucas Bouchard has inspired
Hope Valley to put on

its very own Christmas Festiva.

Just like the ones he visited
when he travelled

with his parents.

He has got the whole
town involved.

People are enjoying
familiar treats.

And some new ones.

Even my student choir
is pitching in.

They will be performing
at the festival finale

on Christmas Eve.

For me, this holiday is special

because it is also Little Jacks
first birthday.

I want to make Christmas
as wonderful for him

as it was my sisters and me
when I was growing up.

A full house overflowing
with beauty,

laughter and good cheer.

Oh, it's alright.

You just take your time.

♪ ...and heaven, and heaven
and nature sing. ♪

I can't believe
it's almost Christmas.

We open another window in our
advent calendar this morning.

There was a little bell inside.

Oh, what a nice surprise
to look forward to every day.

Every year my dad carves a new
animal for the manger scene.

This year it's a lamb.

Well, that's a lovely tradition.

What about you, Mrs. Thornton,

did you do anything special
growing up?

Oh, let's see.

Well, every Christmas Eve,
my parents would hide

a brand new ornament somewhere
on the tree

and then my sisters and I
had to find it.

Fun.

We decorated our Christmas tree
last night.

It practically touches
the ceiling.

Wow. I want to see that.

Come on.

Could you put a little more
mustard on there for me.

Don't forget the Sauerkraut.

Never been a fan.

Bill, you cannot have an
authentic Bavarian sausage

without Sauerkraut.

Maybe a tad.

Well, this has actually
come together quite well.

And here is the man we have
to thank for it all.

This is much bigger than
I expected.

Oh.

I have people checked in
from Union City

to get Cape Fullerton.

Well done.

-Hi.
-Hi.

This is quite the turnout.

How widely did you advertise?

I didn't.

This is all just word of mouth.

Just goes to show you,
good news travels fast.

You got to love that
holiday spirit I guess, huh?

Yes, especially when it
increases your business
three-fold.

Never seen a line-up going
into the Queen of Hearts.

Henry, Lucas went to a great
deal of trouble

to make sure everyone could
enjoy the festival.

Thank you, Elizabeth.

That was the idea.

You should try one
of these, Henry.

They're good, are they?

Absolutely.

One for my business partner
here please.

You likes the Sauerkraut.

Yeah.

My train leaves for Hope Valley
first thing in the morning.

I can't wait.

Seeing you is the only thing

that I want for Christmas
this year.

I'm so lucky my brother was able
to come for the week

to stay with Dad.

We'll have a couple
of days together.

I really miss you.

And I miss you.

Oh, hey.

Guess, what?

Lee gave us the rest of
the week off.

Oh, that was nice of him.

Yeah, I guess we've had
a really good year.

Well, you deserve a little
relaxing time.

So I was thinking, we should
go for a sleigh ride tomorrow.

Sounds fun.

-Yeah?
-Yeah.

I'll see you later?

Have a good day.

-Bye.
-Bye.

How much?

$0.25

Careful, this ladder
has seen better days.

Ah, it's mistletoe.

It kinda calls for being
a little bit reckless,

with your heart at least.

I guess you are probably right.

You seem real happy.

Yes. Faith is coming home
for Christmas.

Ah, that's great news.

I know distance can be tough.

Yeah, it has been hard
but I have to believe

that everything happens
for a reason.

I believe that too and I also
believe in making things happen.

Well, mistletoe is a good place
to start,

especially if you hope to find
someone special under there.

Uh-huh. Yeah.

We are going to look around
the rest of the festival

because we have some shopping
to do.

Alright. Just don't
go overboard.

We absolutely will go overboard.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Elizabeth said one gift only.

We agreed on that.

Lee?

Elizabeth?

Ah, ah, ah...

Alright. But then it has to be
absolutely perfect.

Mmmhmm.

Because you are perfect.

Little Jack say
bye Uncle Lee.

Bye Uncle Bill.
Bye Uncle Bill.

Bye, bye!

Jack will say his first words
when he is good and ready.

-That's right.
-Won't you?

There is no need to worry.

My mother told me I didn't
say my first word

until well after
my second birthday.

People might say I have been
making up for it ever since.

Lee!

We wouldn't say that.

That wouldn't be you at all.

Sorry.

See ya guys.

Bye.

Bill, what is it?

Oh, nothing.

Just thinking about the gift
I got for him.

Well, now you got me curious.

You, like Little Jack,
will just have to wait.

Jack, can you say tree.

Tree.

Thanks very much.

Aaargh!

Say, friend, I'm Walter.

That's going to leave
a nasty stain

if you don't take care
of it right away.

Yeah, I'll just mop it up.

What you need is the Tidy
Man Miracle Brush.

It just takes a jiffy
and that stain is history.

Son.

A salesman is only as good
as his product.

And your change.

Thank you very much.

You're welcome.

Ned, has my package arrived?

Oh, I will go see.

That nearly doubled
my food order.

I didn't expect this many people
to show up for the festival.

I guess nobody did, right?

Is that a problem?

I'm just not a big fan
of crowds.

But surely at Christmas
time...

At Christmas they're nice, yeah.

Elizabeth, Nathan here
was just saying

he is not a big fan of crowds.

Well, Christmas crowds are
just part of the season, so...

My sentiments exactly.

Anyway, I need to get this
this stuff back to the saloon.

-Bye.
-Bye.

Bye-bye.

Thank you.

Your package did arrive.

Oh, that's great, thank you.

Is that Allie's Christmas
present?

Yeah.

It's a charm bracelet.

It's really beautiful.

Look at the book.

What is that?
Is that a-

It's a fly for...

Fishing.

Oh.

Well, that is perfect
for Allie.

Yeah, she's just so hard
to shop for.

Her mom had one.

Every Christmas she would
get a new charm.

That's a lovely tradition
you're starting for her.

Thanks.

Mmmhmm.

Well, I should get back at it.

Sure.

Hey, maybe I will see you
at the festival.

I hope so.

I got a message you wanted
to see me.

Clara, I know you've been
picking up more shifts

at the café but any chance you
can help me here for a few days?

Business has really picked up.

Oh, I can see that.

So what do you say?

I wouldn't ask if I wasn't
in such a jam.

After everything you've done

to make the Christmas
Festival happen,

of course I'll help.

When do you want me to start?

Hi.

Come on in.

Now?

Sure.

Great.

Hey sweetheart.

Time to set up the craft table.

There are already a few children
out there waiting.

It seems to be a big hit.

Yesterday I must have had
20 kids

making Christmas tree
ornaments all at once.

Well, you've always been a hit
with the kids

and that is why
they love you.

So do I.

I wanted to ask you though,
how is the shopping coming?

Ohh!

Well, Lee, I have found

the most perfect little
train set for Little Jack.

Train set, okay.

What?

Nothing, no, just... isn't Jack
a little young for a train set?

Well, I...

You are probably right.

Yeah.

How am I supposed to know
what a one-year old would like.

Oh, I know.

I will ask some of the mothers
around town.

That is exactly what I will do.

Sweetheart wait.

Forget what I said.

A train set is a great idea.

I'm sure he will be using it
in no time.

But Little Jack
deserves something

that he can use right now.

Ok.

I will get the door for ya.

Thank you.

Bye.

There we go.

Aren't you supposed
to hang that on a door?

Well, this way I can look at
your wreath when I'm working.

Besides, I don't think
there's a hard and fast way

on how to hang a wreath.

If you say so.

Hey, when are we getting
our tree?

Soon.

Can we get a big tree this year?

What's wrong with the trees
that we usually get?

The last one was shorter
than me.

Okay, well, how big
are we taking?

Taller than you.

Allie, I don't think we have
enough decorations

for a tree that big.

Well, then I will have
to make more.

Alright, if that's what
you want, okay.

Hey, where are you going?

My friends are waiting
for me at the craft table.

Alright, have fun.

Uncle Nathan.

I think this is going to be
the best Christmas ever.

I think you're right.

"I heard him explain,
ere he drove out of sight,

"Happy Christmas to all
and to all a good night."

That's a Christmas classic.

This is the first book
I remember ever loving.

-Really?
-Mmmhmm.

I can see that penmanship
was not your strong suit.

I was six.

I asked my mother
to send it to me

so I could read it to Little
Jack every year

just like she read it to me.

That's nice.

Mmmhmm.

Are you creating memories
with your mother?

Hmm?

So where are your parents now?

Currently in London.

Oh.

You must miss them,
this time of year.

Well, I'm sure you miss yours
as well.

I do, very much.

My sisters too,

I especially miss the fun
we would have together.

We were fortunate enough as a
family to travel quite a bit.

Oh?

And we spend several
Christmases overseas.

My absolute favourite
was Munich.

Fun.

So this festival must bring back
a lot of memories for you.

Yes.

Where else did you travel?

Sweden, Japan...

Oh.

China.

Wow.

I remember in Shanghai at dusk
they release all of these

paper lanterns into the sky,
like glowing little stars.

Hmm.

That must have been
very beautiful.

Yes.

It was.

Well, I'm done for now.

If you need more cleaning
help after the holidays,

let me know.

Molly, have you been through
the drawers in my desk?

I wouldn't dare.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

What the heck did I do
with that?

Constable Grant.

Superintendent.

Nice touch.

Oh, uh, thank you.

Would you come in?

I didn't know you
were coming by, sir.

I'm on my way to Buxton
and I thought I'd deliver

the good news in person.

What good news is that?

An inspector position has
come open in Union City.

And I'm pleased to inform you
that the job is yours.

That is, assuming
you're still interested.

Uh, yes.

Of course, yes.

Congratulations!

This is a prestigious position.

And you've earned it.

Thank you.

Oh, Anna, that's adorable.

So creative.

Thanks, Mrs. Coulter.

Another one done.

Hello.

Hi.

How's everything going here?

Very well.

Making Christmas tree ornaments
was always

one of my favourite things
to do as a child.

Is everyone having fun?

Yeah.

Allie, you got quite
the production going on
down there.

We're getting a big tree
this year.

Good to see you're on top
of things.

We're going to need lots
of them.

Right. Now, all I have to do is
find a fir tree about...

Yay high?

You know, I happen to know
a place

that has a lot of trees
like that.

I have some free time
tomorrow afternoon.

I could show you,
if you like?

Would you?

I'd be happy to.

Wow, that's very nice.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Is everything ok?

Yes.

Yes, of course.

Couldn't be better.

Keep up the good work.

Step right up and get the only
clothing brush you'll ever need

and for a limited time only I'll
throw in this handy shoe horn.

Nice jacket, sir.

It would look spectacular
if you cleaned it

with this miracle brush.

Uh... no, no thanks.

Step right up and get the only
clothing brush you'll ever need.

Hey.

Hi.

Did I clear everything
out of this desk before?

Um...

Yes, yeah, you did
when you uh..

when you moved into
the new Judge's Office.

Wha? I just...

I saw you had a visitor before,
one of the official variety.

Superintendent O'Reilly.

Everything alright?

He offered me a promotion
to Inspector.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

I applied last year
and I didn't get it but...

a vacancy opened up
in Union City.

I see.

Well, these offers don't happen
every day.

Well, you were an Inspector,
weren't you Bill?

I was.

Yeah.

Some of the best years
of my life.

I got to be honest
with you though.

What?

I'm not looking forward to
breaking in a new Mountie.

Can you keep this under wraps,
just you know,

for now.

Sure.

Congratulations, again.

Thank you.

Faith is on the line waiting
for you.

What is happening?

I'll let her explain.

Okay.

Hold for Carson.

Faith, is everything ok?

My brother's wife is ill.

It's nothing serious, but
he had to cancel his trip.

That means I have to stay here
to take care of Dad.

I won't be able to come home
for Christmas.

Oh.

I'm so sorry.

I understand.

You're doing what you need to,
to help your father.

We'll have other Christmases.

Bye Faith.

You sure you don't mind watching
Little Jack until Laura arrives?

Oh, no, absolutely not.

Florence is going to watch
the craft table.

Little Jack will have
my undivided attention-

well, right along with building
him this magnificent creation.

It's so big!

Well, I always say
why build a house

when you can build a mansion.

We should do this for him
every year.

Oh, absolutely.

Next year it should be a castle.

That would be something.

Elizabeth, you're suddenly
far away.

I just want this Christmas
to be special for Little Jack.

I was remembering what
my Christmases were like

growing up.

I imagine everything looks
different once you have

a little one of your own.

Rosemary, I...
I didn't mean to-

No, Elizabeth, no, I'm fine,
honestly.

And I don't want you to feel
that you need to tip-toe

around me every time the subject
of children comes up.

I used to imagine what
Christmases would be like
with Jack,

surrounded by
all of our children.

I never expected to be
doing it alone.

Elizabeth, come here.

You are not alone.

I know.

It's just overwhelming sometimes

thinking about all of the things
that Jack is missing.

His son's first birthday.

His first real Christmas.

Mmmhmm.

All Jack ever wanted was
for you to be happy.

We all do.

And I'm so grateful, I am.

It's just...

I know, I know. Sometimes
it's still hard.

At choir practise today, can you
ask Mrs. Thornton to meet us

at the livery after lunch.

You know, it's really great that
she's helping us find a tree.

Yeah, yeah, it is.

Although we've been
pretty lucky,

we've met a lot of
nice people

just about everywhere
I've been stationed.

Well, yeah, but remember
last year at Fort Simpson.

Their idea of Christmas morning
was listening

to a bunch of boring speeches
in the mess hall.

At least there was a lot of
fellows in red suits.

Ok.

Um, I'll see you later okay.

See ya.

You headin' out?

Gotta make it to the sales
meeting in Union City.

How are sales?

Picking up.

Really?

Like my sales manager says,

big ticket could be right around
the next corner.

Well, good luck.

Thanks.

And sorry about your vest.

No. Don't think anything of it.

Someday I'm going to have
a coat like that.

Silk ties, wingtip shoes.

The whole nine yards.

I believe you will,
young man.

♪ We wish you a
merry Christmas ♪

♪ and a Happy New Year. ♪

♪ We wish you a merry
Christmas ♪

♪ We wish you a merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year. ♪

Oh, that was beautiful.

I loved your energy!

Harper, don't be afraid
to project your voice

out to the audience, alright?

Alright, Mrs. Thornton.

Great.

Then I will see all of you
tomorrow night

at the Christmas Eve
performance.

Uncle Nathan says to meet us
at the Livery after lunch.

I will be there.

Hey, how are your ornaments
coming along?

Good.

But I'm kinda running
out of ideas

on how to make them
all different.

Oh, well, when I was little,

I put bells on my ornaments.

Bells? That's a great idea!

Hey, where are you off to
in such a hurry?

I told Lucas I'd help him out.

I thought we were going
for a sleigh ride today.

Oh, I wish I could but right now
I need to help Lucas.

Clara, I got the whole
week off

I want to be spending
it together.

I know, I'm sorry, but if you
saw how overloaded Lucas is...

I better hurry.

I'm sorry.

Bye.

Oh, Lee, you should have
seen her.

Elizabeth is a strong woman.

She's had to be with everything
she's been through.

Mmmhmm.

But even she needs someone
to lean on from time to time.

It's good that she has you.

And I her.

Mmmhmm.

But still it broke my heart
for her and for Little Jack.

Yeah.

Oh!

Have you had any ideas about
presents for you know who?

I have been racking my brain
and I have come up with nothing.

Oh, Lee.

Yeah.

Come on, you've gotta see
this thing.

Where is it?

In the middle of the Festival.

Come on.

Girls, wait.
Wait, wait, wait, wait!

Slow down, please.

Sorry, ma'am.

Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Coulter.

Yeah, thanks.

Of course.

Come on.

Lee!

Yes! Yes!

Come, come, come!

We got an idea for you.

You kids like magic,
don't you?

Yeah.

Of course.

How would you feel about
helping me make some.

How do we do that?

Well, I'm going to show you.

Are you in?

Alright.

So that's two rib-eyes,
one roast chicken,

and a beef stroganoff.

Oh, and we ran out of noodles
so the cook is substituting

mashed potatoes.

Clara, this is crazy.

You're running yourself ragged.

It can't be helped, Jesse.

All these people need
to be fed.

Lucas should have thought
of that before he came up

with this whole idea.

He didn't know it would
turn out to be this big.

I have to get this order.

Is it going to be like this
all the way through Christmas?

Probably.

Well, that's not very fair
to you.

You need help.

You know what,
you're right.

Here.

You take their order.

No.

Yes.

Love you.

What can I get you guys?

Michael.

Oh, Merry Christmas, Lee.

Merry Christmas to you too.

Listen, I know that you're
an oil man now.

But I seem to remember you being
quite good at wood working,

is that right?

I still enjoy it.

I hate to ask you this so close
to Christmas but I was wondering

if you might take on a little
project for Rosemary and me.

Oh sure.

I'd do anything
for the two of you.

Besides, Henry gave me
the week off.

Oh, great, perfect timing then.

Come on.

We're coming.

Hey, what about this one
right here?

Nah, too small.

Alright, well, what
about that one?

Mm.

I can tell you have a very
particular tree in mind.

I'll know it when I see it.

I'm like that.

When it's right,
you can just feel it.

There's some over here.

Carson, when is Faith arriving?

Change of plans.

Her brother can't make it
to Hamilton

so she's not coming here
for Christmas.

Oh, dear, I'm so sorry.

Are you going to see her?

Yeah, I thought
I'd surprise her.

How wonderfully romantic!

She'll be thrilled.

I hope so.

I should get going I have
a train in 30 minutes.

Of course.

Good luck.

Thanks Rosemary.

Have a great Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Are these the only sausages
we have left.

Business is too good, is it?

I'm delighted it's going well

and not just because of
the added revenue.

You've put a lot
of work into this.

Why is it so important to you?

Well, it's Christmas time.

It's nice to see everyone
so happy.

Well, in my experience a person
puts this much effort

into something, there's
something in it for him.

If it's not profit,
what is it?

Whoo!

You're a natural.

Thanks for pitching in.

It's more like I was volunteered
for the job,

but I'm not complaining.

Well, hey, we haven't always
seen eye to eye so.

Clara thinks a lot of you.

It must be for a good reason.

Gustave wants to see about
ordering more food.

Thank you.

Hm-mm.

What was that all about?

You two are friends now?

Let's not get carried away.

Hi Bill.

Hi.

You ok?

Oh, I just lost something
really important.

I've looked in every crack
and crevasse for it.

Whenever I lose something
I retrace in my brain

all the things I did
since I last saw it.

Anyway, uh, what
can I get for you?

What do you recommend?

Can't go wrong with the special.

The special it is.

We are ready to board for
Powell Springs on platform 2.

Please have your tickets ready.
Thank you.

It doesn't seem like
you're really enjoying

the Christmas festival,
are you?

Uh... No, I am.

It's just I um...

I guess I just like to keep
things a bit more simple.

Simple is good.

So, what do you and Allie
normally do for Christmas?

Well, we made this thing
of going fishing

after church on Christmas Day.

Hmm.

See who gets the biggest fish.

Hope Valley is a good
spot for that.

Yeah.

What about you?

Um, well, when I was growing up
my parents would invite

all of my aunts and uncles
and cousins over

for a late supper right
after Christmas Eve service.

Some years there were
20 people at the house.

20 people?!

That's a lot.

Well, I loved when
the house was full.

Yeah, it can be tough to make
things special

when it's just you.

I never expected to be doing
this on my own.

Not that I'm alone.

No, yeah.

Of course, but still.

Is that why you like to keep
things simple?

Yeah.

I guess that's part of it.

Nathan, it seems like there
is something on your mind.

Oh, no, um, just...

It's a beautiful day

and there's nowhere else
I'd rather be.

Elizabeth...

Come on, I found it.

Success.

Oh!

What do you think?

How is it that you found the
best tree in the entire forest?

I wouldn't have settled
for anything less.

That's the key, Allie.

You and I have had so much
fun today but it is almost time

for me to take
you back to Laura.

Oh, but wouldn't you like
to have a yummy waffle first?

Can you say yummy?

Can you say waffle?

Rosemary! Hi!

Hold that thought?

Faith!

I thought you couldn't make it?

My other brother came
to the rescue.

I wanted to surprise Carson.

You'll certainly do that.

Why? Where is he?

I found it.

There you are.

Good day.

Oh, hey, thank you.
Merry Christmas.

Sir.

Woo!

Hey, Bill, doing a little
last-minute shopping?

What?

I lost Little Jack's gift.

I don't know what I could
have done with it.

I can't show up to this birthday
party empty-handed.

Well, that's too bad.

When was the last time
you saw it?

In my office.

I've checked everywhere.

Clearly you didn't
check everywhere,

or you would have found it,
right?

Is that supposed to be helpful?

No, sorry.

I uh... Look, don't
give up hope.

These things have a way
of working themselves out.

Besides, 'tis the season
for miracles, right?

I guess not.

Mr. Gowen, you
are now connected.

I thought you were
in Hamilton.

It's a long story.

Oh?

What can I help you with?

Well...

It's leaning a little left.

That's better.

What do you think?

Well, it looks great but
we're not going to have

enough decorations even with
all the ones I made.

I think you'll be alright.

I may have brought
a few extra.

Well, I should let you two
get decorating.

Have fun.

Do you want to stay and help us
decorate the tree?

I mean, it makes sense you're
the one that showed us

where to get it.

Yeah, please help us decorate.

Laura isn't expecting me
for another hour,

so sure.

Wow, these are nice decorations.

Yes.

This elf will go perfectly near
the presents at the bottom.

Then this bird should go
at the top of the tree.

Well, I guess...

Oh, here.

Let me help you with that.

Thank you.

Dad, Carson is headed
to our house.

I'm going to try to catch
him but just in case-

Yes, this is Hope Valley
Central calling.

Has the train headed to Hamilton
via Hope Valley

reached your station yet?

Ok. When it does we need a couch
attendant to make

an announcement for a Dr. Carson
Shepherd to call home.

I wanted to surprise him.

Yes, Dad, I realize that now.

Okay, thank you.

Good bye.

I think Carson will get your
message and be home soon.

I hope so.

I know I'm no replacement
for Carson,

but we could have dinner,
if you're up for it.

Oh, come on,
it will be fun.

Besides Carson's train doesn't
arrive in Powell Springs

for another hour.

I promise to be back way
before then.

Okay.

Chestnut?

I've never really understood
the appeal of them.

It's not about the taste,
it's about the memories.

My grandfather used to roast
them every Christmas

and just the smell takes me
back to when I was a kid.

Well, in that case.

Mmm.

We got a problem.

How bad could it be?

We got a packed house full of
happy customers.

We're about to have a packed
house of hungry ones.

We're running out of food.

Are you sure?

Did you check the storage area?

Nothing?

Hickam is eating
the last pot roast.

I'm not going to take it
from him.

So, what's the plan?

We could send people
to the café.

It's closed tonight.

What are we going to do?

About what?

Well, more customers
keep arriving.

We're out of food.

So much for dinner.

I know what to do.

What are you doing, Allie?

I'm keeping this one to plant.

Like you and mom used to do.

Every Christmas my sister
and I we would plant the seeds

from a cone into a pot.

And then by Spring we would
plant the seedling

out in the back yard.

That sounds lovely.

But we haven't been in
one place long enough

so we haven't been able
to do it.

But now we can finally
put down roots.

Literally.

What is it?

Oh... nothing.

I just want to give Allie
the best Christmas this year.

That's all.

What's going on?

Emergency delivery.

What kind of emergency?

The saloon has run out of food.

Yup.

Oh, well, I might have some
leftover stew.

Oh, great idea.

You know, Lucas might
have thought of this.

I don't think he had any idea

the festival was going
to be this big.

Planning a festival is not
for the faint of heart.

Nobody does it better than you.

Well, poor fellow

had no idea what he was getting
himself into.

He really should have asked me
for help.

Yeah, he should have, yeah.

Oh, here, Elizabeth,
let me help you with that.

Thank you.

Little Jack was asleep.

Laura said she'd stay
a bit longer.

You should have seen him,
so cute,

clutching his little bear.

Oh, little lamb.

Okay. C'mon, let's go.

Leave it to Lucas
to run out of food.

Didn't we have baked beans
somewhere?

Yeah, they are just over-
I'll get them.

You grab the coats.

I was going to tell you
about that.

I was waiting
until after Christmas.

You got the inspector promotion?

That's great!

Is it?

Yeah, you worked so hard
for this.

You deserve it.

Allie, this isn't just about me,
though.

You know what this means?

We would have to leave
Hope Valley.

It's okay, Uncle Nathan.

After six years of moving,
I'm kinda used to it.

We better get going.

Okay.

Ladies and gentleman,

thank you for attending our
first Christmas Festival.

Not to worry, everyone
will be seated for supper.

If we can have your
patients just a little
while longer, folks.

Hope Valley is putting on
a spread for you

the likes of which
you have never seen.

Okay.

I think we'll put these
up together.

Okay.

Just like that.

Lucas, where do you want
the chairs?

Wherever Jesse's made room.

Jesse, chairs?

Just like that?

Line them up right there.

Thanks guys.

This our third seating
for supper tonight.

I can't thank you all enough
for putting this together.

Tis the season.

Thanks.

Sorry, we're closed.

There is a big dinner
at the saloon tonight.

I know.

I just wondered
if I could help.

Oh, Faith.

It's good to see you.

It's good to see you, Bill.

Can you cook?

Um...

Can you peel potatoes?

Now, that I can do.

Fiona are you coming?

You've already made
all your calls

and your shift ended
an hour ago.

I know but Carson might call.

His train should have arrived
by now.

You can't be here all night?

Just a few more minutes.

Hey Ned.

Just came by to post this and to
pick something up to contribute

to the dinner but I see you've
already cleared the shelves.

Yeah, I'm bringing over
whatever's ready to eat.

Oh, well, perhaps I could pay
some of the goods then?

Oh, no, no, that won't
be necessary.

This is my contribution
to Christmas.

Oh, well, I can understand that.

Tell ya what you could do,

you could bring
that other box for me.

Will do.

Well, that chicken
was absolutely delicious.

Mmmhmm.

That chicken was
Monday's special.

The stew was fabulous.

That came from Elizabeth's.

She's come a long way
in the kitchen.

That's so fun.

Everyone brought what they were
planning on having for dinner.

Everybody got a little
something, it was great.

Thank you Faith for
coming up with this idea.

It was a group effort.

It's nice to see you
out of the office Henry.

Well, I could smell the food
from up the road.

Can I get you anything else?

No, I'm fine.

I should probably go do
my rounds.

You stay with your friends
until I get back.

-Hi.
-Hi.

Hope Valley deserves
its reputation.

Well, it's hard to think of
anything else

that could top all of this.

Lucas.

Let's do it.

Everyone, if I could have
your attention.

First, I want to thank everyone
from out of town

for coming and sharing
our festival.

I hope you have enjoyed this
wonderful meal that the town

has put on for us and please
join me in thanking

the kind people of Hope Valley
for their warm generosity.

The night is not over yet.

If everyone could please
join me outside.

Elizabeth.

Here you are.

What is going on here?

Well, I have no idea,
but I'm very curious.

Perfect, keep it steady.

Lucas, what is this all about?

Have a little patience.

I'll try.

Right here.

Oh!

Oh!

What exactly
are we looking for?

That.

Beautiful.

They're like little stars.

Exactly.

Lucas, they are breathtaking.

I was going for spectacular

but breathtaking will do
just fine.

How did you do this?

I had help form some elves.

Thank you.

You were right.

They really were beautiful.

Fiona, did Carson call?

No.

I guess he never got
the message.

But Just in case I'm going
to grab some food

and then head back.

Alright.

Message for Dr. Carson Shepherd,
Dr. Carson Shepherd.

Excuse me.

That's me, I'm Dr. Shepherd.

I was about to give up.

I have a message for you
from Miss Faith Carter.

Thank you.

Excuse me, can you tell me
when the next train is

to Hope Valley?

Sorry sir, there is no trains
headed that way

until after Christmas.

This has been such
a wonderful evening.

Yes, it has.

That Lucas, he is
full of surprises.

Mmmhmm.

He is growing on me.

Oh.

Hi Allie.

Is something wrong?

No, I'm fine.

Well, clearly you're not fine.

Please tell me.

Uncle Nathan got a promotion
to Inspector.

He's wanted it for a long time.

He'll have to work at Mountie
Headquarters in Union City.

You're leaving?

Hey, Merry Christmas.

Any chance I can get a lift?

Sure. Where are you headed?

I'm trying to get home
to Hope Valley.

Hop in.

Yeah. Thank you.

I was just in Hope Valley
a couple of days ago.

Nice town.

It sure is.

Now, you're going back.

No, had a meeting.

Now, I'm headed to my folks
farm outside of Rock Creek

for Christmas.

It must be my lucky day.

God brought me this far
from Powell Springs.

I'm Carson.

I'm Walter.

Nice to meet you.

I hope you don't mind driving
all night.

The fact is that works for me.

I'm a travelling salesman.

I do it a lot.

I've had my share
of long nights too.

What do you do for scratch?

Uh... sorry?

Green backs, clams.

Oh.

How do you make a buck?

Buck, right.

I'm a doctor.

Today isn't just Christmas Eve.

It's also your birthday.

You're one year old
my sweet big boy.

What is that?

Shall we go see?

Oh, my goodness.

You want to open?

Oh, it's a puppy?

Can you say puppy?

Puppy.

Good morning!

I just came to give the birthday
boy a big hug.

A big hug.

It's your special day today,
it is.

It's your special day as well.

Are your singers ready
for their grand finale?

They are.

What's wrong?

Allie told me last night
that she and Nathan

are leaving Hope Valley.

What?

Why?

It feels that they just got here

and Allie seems to be having
the time of her life.

I know.

But Nathan was offered
some big promotion so...

Anyway, I hate to ask especially
on his birthday

but would you mind
watching Little Jack.

For just half an hour.

Of course.

Thank you.

Of course my sweet.

Of course.

Did you get a puppy?

Is that brand new?

Is that for your birthday?

Puppy.

Ruff, ruff, ruff.

Uh-oh.

What did I miss?

Let's take a look.

Flat tire.

Yup. Like a pancake.

Where are we anyway?

I'd say we are a couple of
hours outside of Hope Valley.

Where is your spare?

Oh, that.

I've been meaning to get it
fixed since my last flat.

How long have you had
that cough?

Since yesterday.

It's nothing.

It doesn't sound like nothing.

Doc, I can't afford it
to be something.

Why aren't you wearing
a jacket?

I had to sell it in Union City
for gas money.

I'm still trying to get the hang
of being a salesman.

Say, you wouldn't happen
to be in the market

for a brand-new clothing brush,
would ya?

Not really.

I can't say that I blame you.

They don't work very well.

Here's what I want you to do.

Stay here, stay warm,
I'm going to go get help.

Ok.

When were you going
to tell me?

I was going to wait
until after Christmas.

Allie, she found out
by accident.

Nathan, I asked you and you told
me nothing was wrong.

Because... because nothing
is wrong.

I applied for that job a year
ago and I didn't get it.

And now that I did,

it just doesn't seem like there
is anything holding us back.

What about all the friends
that Allie has made here?

That you've made.

Congratulations.

Hello?

You might have announced
yourself.

Sorry, sorry.

My friend and I ran
into some car trouble

and we could use
a little help.

I'm not sure how much help
me and my kids can be.

I was wondering maybe...
maybe I could use your wagon.

I'll take very good care
of your horses.

Mister, I got my own problems.

I'd just be borrowing it.

I have $20 and my watch.

Keep it.

Thank you.

Mrs. Thornton talked to me.

You told her about the offer.

Do you want to talk about it?

There is not much to say,
is there?

Allie, there is a lot to say.

This affects you just as much
as it affects me.

I'm used to it Uncle Nathan.

It's just the way it is.

Hey Allie!

We're going to build a snowman,
wanna come?

Go.

Go have fun.

Race you there.

Yeah, let's go!

Michael, thank you so much.

Hickam you finished it
so quickly.

It was my pleasure.

Well...

Okay, let's see.

Oh!

It's great.

It's perfect.

-It's exactly as we pictured it.
-Yeah.

Oh, Little Jack is going
to love it.

I'm so glad.

Thank you, Mike.
It's great.

Oh, good.

You're here.

It's my special Christmas cake.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you for hiring me to...
uh keep the place tidy.

I was sure I put it in this box
or one of these drawers.

Put what?

My gift for baby Jack.

It's yay big and it's-

Oh!

You mean this?

Molly.

Molly I asked you two days ago
if you had seen this-

You asked me if I had been
in your desk and I hadn't.

I found it on top
of your desk.

When I opened it and saw
what was inside,

I thought it was best I put
it away for safe keeping.

You're welcome.

Merry Christmas, Bill.

Whoa, whoa!

How are you doing, Walter?

No need to worry about me, Doc.

I am worried.

As soon as we get back
to Hope Valley,

I am going to take a listen
to your chest.

I told you I don't have money
for a doctor.

It's the least I can do.

It will be my Christmas gift.

Ya!

Faith!

I've been looking for you.

I got some information
about Carson.

At last. Thank heavens!

I spoke to the porter
in Powell Springs

who says he gave him
your message.

When?

Late last night and he said
he told Carson

no trains were headed back
this way

until after Christmas so maybe
he checked into a hotel.

Not if I know Carson.

Well, I'm sure he'll be fine.

Listen, I have to get back
to the switchboard

but I will come by later to pick
you up for church, okay?

Alright.

♪ Happy Birthday Little Jack ♪

♪ Happy Birthday to you. ♪

Alright now, let's blow
out your candle.

One, two, three.

Yay!

Good job!

The birthday boy gets
the first slice.

Well, of course.

Absolutely, yes.

Although, I'm not sure
he quite knows

what to make of his cake.

Wait until he tastes it.

Here we go.

It does look very good.

Well, thank you.

There ya go.

There you go.

Big piece for the big boy.

Save some for us.

You want some?

Go for it.

Oh.

Right on time.

Naturally.

Now, scat!

It's Christmas Eve.

You are officially on holiday.

Merry Christmas, Florence.

I got something for you too.

I suppose we should wait until
Christmas morning to open them.

Well, I suppose.

Oh!

Ahh!

A telephone of my own.

I hope it's not too much like
you're taking

your work home with you.

I love it.

Open yours.

May we always be connected.

Florence, that's beautiful,
thank you.

You took a chance on me,
Fiona.

I will always be so grateful.

Oh, whaddya got?

What is that?

Did you get a horsy, Jack?

Well, it is almost time
for church.

We are going to go freshen up
and we'll be back in a flash.

Should we have some more
cake first, more cake.

Lee?

I'll take him upstairs to get
him changed for church.

Thank you so much, Laura.

And thank you for bringing him
home after the church service.

We'll have fun.

Come on.

Do you like your horsy?

Elizabeth.

Is that for little Jack?

Actually it's for when he gets
a little older.

You can go and open it
for him.

It's beautiful, a compass.

"May you always find
your way home."

It was Jack's.

He gave it to me when we got
turned around in the mountains.

Claimed it was my fault
we got lost.

He may have been right.

Bill, I... I can't take this
from you.

You should really keep it
to remember him by.

I'll remember him just fine.

I want Little Jack to have this,
Elizabeth

so he can always find
his way home

with a little help from
his dad.

Whoa.

Well, first thing is first.

Let's get you into the infirmary
and check you out.

You have been in
a hospital before?

My folks could never
afford it.

Come on, let's get you something
for that cough.

Thank you.

We appreciate it.

It's full.

How many people are going
to be here?

Don't focus on them.

Focus on me.

What if I forget the lines?

Opal, you won't forget
your words.

I believe in you.

Okay.

You ready?

I guess.

You'll sing beautifully.

Mrs. Thornton...

Yes.

Do you have to go to school here
to sing in the choir?

Because maybe next year
I can visit.

Oh, Allie, you will always
have a place in my choir.

Always.

Come on.

Take that a couple times
a day.

This stuff tastes terrible.

Yeah, it does, but
it's good for you.

Hey Walter, why don't you stick
around Hope Valley tonight.

There is a special service
about to start

and a social afterwards.

Thanks Doc, but my parents
are expecting me

so I'd really like
to make it home.

Okay.

Carson, there's a lady
in town

who's curious as to
your whereabouts.

Better late than never.

Henry, this is Walter.

Yeah, we met.

I thought you left town.

I did.

Henry, do you have a spare tire
in your car?

I do.

Walter's car is on the side
of the road

with a flat a couple
of hours from her.

Do you think-

You're not going, to ask me
to borrow my car, are you?

Once I checked in with Faith.

Yes, I was thinking about it.

Wait.

You would do that for me?

Yes.

Here, you need to stay warm,
Walter.

Take my coat.

I'll take him.

Come on, kid, let's go.

You better high-step it.

You got a lady waiting
on you.

Thanks Henry.

Hey Walter.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Carson?

Fiona!

When did you get into town?

I just arrived.

Have you seen Faith?

Well, we were supposed to meet
at the infirmary

to go to church,

but when I got there
I found this note.

Oh, boy.

Thank you.

Good luck.

Carson!

I was about to go look
for you.

I know.

How did you get back?

Started out on foot and
then things got interesting.

Heading out in that wagon
would not have been prudent.

Almost as imprudent
as you walking home.

That was wonderful.

Now before this wonderful
choir sings their finale,

I just want to take a moment
to thank everyone

for coming tonight and wish you
all a very merry Christmas.

Just one more thing...

Tonight, we'll all go home
with our family and friends

but I think it's important
to remember

That where we call home
may change over time.

But the people and traditions
we hold close, they won't.

We will carry them
in our hearts forever.

Because home is truly
where the heart is.

Ready?

♪ O come all ye faithful
Joyful and triumphant ♪

♪ O come ye, o come ye ♪

♪ To Bethlehem. ♪

♪ Come and behold him ♪

♪ Born the King of Angels ♪

♪ O come let us adore him ♪

♪ O come let us adore him. ♪

♪ Christ the Lord ♪

Beautiful.

I appreciate this, Mr. Gowen.

Carson is a neighbour of mine,

you helped him so it's
the least I could do.

Where were you headed
when you picked him up?

My folks.

I haven't seen them
in quite some time.

You make any sales?

Not for the lack of trying.

I'm not cut out for this line
of work.

Don't be too hard on yourself,
business like life,

has its ups and downs.

I just want to make my folks
proud of me, you know.

Tell them that I made something
of myself.

Well, I can understand
the sentiment.

I have no doubt that they are.

There's a table over there.

A hot chocolate for
my favourite singer.

Thanks.

You sang great.

You know, Allie, I um...

I realized something when I was
listening to you up there.

I can't picture you
anywhere else but here.

I guess I can't picture myself
anywhere else but here.

You should have thought of that
before you took the promotion.

Right. Well...

You see the thing about that is
I just sent a wire

to headquarters.

I turned them down.

You did?

I mean, you're tired of moving
around, right?

Yeah.

You like it here, right?

Yeah.

Well, I guess that is that.

You're sure about this?

Yes.

Oh, I have to go tell
all my friends.

Oh, and Mrs. Thornton.

Oh... wait!

Why don't I tell Mrs. Thornton.

Hi.

You should be very proud.

Look at what you did.

It's very nice of you to say.

I'm happy that everyone
is happy.

Really, because happy
isn't exactly

how I would describe
you right now.

It's just that tomorrow
is Christmas

and then after that everything
will go back to the way it was.

Hmm.

No one wants Christmas to end.

When I was growing up,

my parents were always
so busy.

But at Christmas time
we would all be together,

travelling the world.

Those festivals really brought
us closer together as a family.

And you wanted to bring
that feeling to Hope Valley.

Thank you.

For what?

For including us.

What do you mean?

Lucas, look around.

This is your family now too.

You know what I realized.

It's comforting to remember
old traditions,

but it's really important
to create new ones too.

Well, I guess that ought
to do it.

I'll keep your tire and we'll
call it an even swap.

I'm very grateful to you,
Mr. Gowen.

I did nothing.

Isn't that what's supposed
to be

what Christmas is about,
isn't it?

Helping each other?

How are you feeling?

Better.

That stuff is working.

Good.

Could you return this
to the doctor for me.

I think he intended you
to keep that.

Stay warm.

Wow.

Fire her up.

Say Walter, you call me
in the new year.

I know some good people
in Union City.

Maybe we can get you
a better job.

That's nice of you,
Mr. Gowen.

I'll do that.

Off you go.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

I don't know how to thank
the two of you.

By joining us in a toast.

I'll grab us some punch.

She's an amazing woman.

You are very lucky.

Yeah.

Yeah, I am.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

And you.

Thank you.

What should we drink to?

To Christmas.

And... friends.

Alright.

Merry Christmas.

Bye.

Isn't it great news?

Isn't what great news?

Didn't Uncle Nathan tell you?

Tell me what?

We're staying!

You are?

Uncle Nathan didn't take
the promotion.

He wants us to stay here.

Oh, Allie, I...

You put snowflakes on them.

Uh-huh.

Oh, wow.

That's nice.

With confectioner's sugar.

My mother used to do that
every Christmas morning.

These are the finest pancakes
I've ever seen.

Oh...

Oh, hey, you made it.

-Merry Christmas.
-Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Here take this one.
I'll get a plate for myself.

Thank you, Jesse.

Yeah.

I hope you like pancakes.

Very much.

Whoa, whoa! Whoa!

Hello?

Hello.

I hope you don't mind.

We brought some presents
for the kids.

And some food from
our town's potluck.

Merry Christmas.

Thank you.

Merry Christmas.

My mom had one
just like it.

That's right.

And she had charms that
reflected her personality

just like these
will reflect yours.

Thank you, Uncle Nathan.

You have one more present.

Pa, ra, pum, pum!

Thank you.

A pot of dirt?

Well, you are forgetting
the seeds.

I got them from the pine cone
you took off the tree.

You want to do the honours.

That's great.

Now, by Spring we will have
a seedling

we could plant in our backyard.

And we will always remember our
first Christmas in Hope Valley.

That one in there?

Are you happy?

How could I not be?

It's Christmas morning

and I am surrounded by all
of the people I love.

I think maybe we found
our new tradition,

at least one of them anyway.

I think it's time
for presents.

-Oh!
-Huh?

Yes, yes.

-Presents!
-Presents!

Lee.

It's time.

Go, go, go, Lee.

We are very excited for you
to see this.

Oh, presents.

This is very heavy.

Here we go.

Are you ready?

Sweetheart you do the honours?

Alright.

Oh!

Oh!!!

Oh, Jack!
Oh, we love it!

We had Hickam make it.

Didn't he do such
a beautiful job?

Mmmhmm.

Oh, boy.

Look at that.

Oh, he's a natural.
Just like his dad.

Look at him!

Yee-ha!

He loves it!
He loves it!

You are not going to believe
what I gave him this morning.

Oh, good, good, boy.
Grab one.

Oh!

Great minds think alike,
that's perfect!

Here we go!

There you are.

Can you say horse?

Yee-ha!

Yee-ha!

I think this was the right gif.

Ma-mama.

Oh!

Oh, my goodness!

Mama!

Oh, you did it!

Oh, my sweet boy!

Merry Christmas my sweet boy.

I'm so proud of you!

Yeah, yeah.

Merry Christmas.
