All language subtitles for Welcome To The Christmas Family Reunion [2021] 100

Are you ready to fall in love with
Christmas under the mistletoe?

Is the kiss on the top of your wish
list?

Well, I know a girl you should know.

See sugar and spice, naughty and nice,
waiting under that evergreen.

If you're ready to fall in love with
Christmas, fall in love with me.

If you're ready to fall in love with
Christmas, don't wait for Christmas Eve.

Take a chance on romance, because this
is the time to trust your heart and

believe.

There's no mystery.

Chemistry.

I had a feeling you'd be here.

It was an uneventful Thanksgiving in
Santa Barbara, that's for sure.

You mean your mom didn't beg you to stay
and go shopping with her at 5 a .m. for

the Black Friday sale? Oh, she did. I
just couldn't bear the thought of

listening to her decide between rose
gold or a shiny champagne wrapping

But let's be honest. There is a
distinction between a shiny rose gold

sparkly shiny champagne. An hour -long
distinction?

The answer is always rose gold.

Unless the champagne is dusty.

Like mother, like daughter.

No, I am finally committing.

How's this for a delicately stacked
holiday dessert spot?

Nice. Five sketches in, you finally
figured it out. Good for you, Aim.

Don't tease.

Do you really like it?

Of course, it's great. They all were.
Anyway, you had the cat in the bag with

these arrangements. I know, I just think
a client literally named after the

holiday. We couldn't go right on the
florals.

Amy, you're the only event designer in
the entire city who could love Christmas

as much as Tiffany Christmas is going to
love what you've created for her

family's reunion.

Well, we don't have the job yet.

Come Monday morning, we will.

Well, what if Frankie pushes for Greta
instead?

Her ideas seem to really pique his
interest, too. Look.

Yours were clearly way better. You can't
just assume Frankie will have it out

for you.

Plus, Tiffany's going to want to see
options, so really, it's up to her

I don't know, Kaylee.

After Frankie's aunt promoted him, I
kind of feel like he does.

Well, if that's the case, it's only
because you're amazing and he's

by all your amazingness. You think he's
threatened?

Hello. He wishes he could design like
you. You're like Christmas.

Warm apple cider and holiday cookies.
And he's more like, I don't know, the

worst of Halloween.

A tasty piece of candy with a razor in
it.

His aesthetic is the worst.

Seriously. Well, he's running the show
now, so.

So, you just need to prove to Tiffany
you have what it takes. This year's 10

-year Christmas family reunion, it's all
yours.

You know what?

You're right.

Frankie Diaz liking my stuff or not, it
is my time to shine. That a girl.

I think you're done.

Amy, can I see you in my office, please?

I gotta say, these are even better than
your initial sketches.

Really did an amazing job here.

Really? Thank you.

Do you think it's going to be enough for
Tiffany to hire us?

Well, I only spoke with her manager
once, but she did say she loved your

original sketches and said she might be
leaning towards us, so we'll see.

Really? That's so exciting.

But look, Ames, I've also got to be
totally transparent with you.

You know you're an incredible event
designer, and we will use your designs,

I think I'm going to be taking on the
majority of the legwork here myself.

I'm sorry.

Wait, why would you implement my designs
instead of me?

Because it's a massive gig for us, Ames.
Tiffany Christmas is an exploding pop

star, and I simply have more client
experience than you.

Or are you just threatened by me?

What? No.

That's not it at all. What do you even
mean threatened?

Oh, come on.

Ever since your aunt promoted you,
you've had it out for me.

She loves my designs and you don't like
that, do you?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, Amy.

My auntie totally trusts my judgment and
she loves my designs.

That's why she promoted me, clearly.

But I'm on the line now. I'm only doing
what's best.

Or maybe you got promoted because you
threw a fit to your mom.

Ames.

The only one who seems to be throwing a
fit here is you. I'm throwing a fit?

Uh -huh.

No, this is throwing a fit.

I quit.

Ames, don't be brash. And I will have
all of my stuff out by the end of the

and that includes Kaylee.

If she'll come with me.

What are you going to do, start your own
business?

Maybe I will.

Okay, well, we still own your designs,
you know. You made them on our clock.

Uh -huh.

Wrong. You don't pay me overtime, so
technically, I made them off the clock.

Merry Christmas, Mr. Diaz, and have a
very happy new year.

Ames. Don't call me Ames. You know I
hate that name.

You gonna be all right?

I think so.

I'm gonna miss this work table, though.

We'll get an all -new work table.

Thanks. And thank you for joining me on
the Fun Employment Frontlines.

You know what we need?

A spa day. A spa day?

I don't think that's the wisest
investment considering it's the holidays

have no income.

I think it depends on where you go.

Well, you were certainly right.

Always go with the rose gold. Oh, it
looks so cute. I love it. Let me see

I went with snowflake sparkle, although
I don't feel very sparkly right now.

Oh, you will, though. Just wait.

What are you talking about?

Thank you. Thank you.

And here's our reason to celebrate.

What are you talking about?

Wait.

Is that? That's your shot right there.
Go.

Excuse me. Thank you.

Yeah.

Hi. Sorry. Are you Tiffany Christmas?

Yes, I'm Tiffany. And you are? Amy.

Amy Kessler.

I would shake your hand, but... Oh, my
gosh. That is so cute.

What color is that?

Snowflake sparkle.

Oh, I already had my heart set on
Rudolph red, but I'm going to remember

for next time. Well, Rudolph red is an
excellent color and a perfect color for,

I don't know, a, um, upcoming family
reunion.

Um, you're not some like crazy stalker
fan, are you? Cause I really can't deal

with that right now.

No, actually I was the one who created
your designs for Diaz events design.

You know the one with the snowflake
falling photo booth? Yes! I absolutely

all of your designs.

But, wait, I thought Frankie said that
you weren't available.

He said that he was just going to do it
himself, I thought.

Well, I actually am.

Oh, okay, well, perfect. I'll just let
Frankie know that I prefer you instead.

Okay. Well, um, yeah. We most certainly
are available.

I'm Kaylee.

Amy's assistant.

Hi. We're such fans of your new holiday
album.

It's so nice to meet you. We were
listening to it the whole time we were

designing, and I mean, like, Amy refused
to turn it off.

Oh, that's so sweet. Thank you. Well,
and actually, we were thinking it would

great if you sang Love Me Like Christmas
at the reunion.

I was thinking of putting, like, a
little stage in front of the tree.

What do you think? Yes, I love that
idea. Okay, I'm excited now.

Can we meet tomorrow?

Tomorrow?

That sounds good. Yeah.

Okay. So I'll pick a time and place.
Here, put your number in my phone. Okay.

Yay.

Don't worry. I'll take care of Frankie.
Just go with it. Your tongue just shot.

Remember? Okay.

Here. Okay.

Perfect.

Well, cheers, ladies.

Cheers to a Christmas family reunion.

Yes. Cheers.

Thank you.

I have got to get the name of this
window

display designer.

Okay.

Okay.

Oh, hi. Sorry, I've actually already
taken this table.

Uh, though, you can reserve tables here.
I haven't seen you in a little time.

Um, no.

It's just, well, I saw this table on the
way in and I was going to put my purse

down, but, you know, it was a little too
close to the door. So you just stacked

some, like, mental claim on this table?

Correct.

I don't think that really counts.

We both sat simultaneously.

Well, I think I need this table for a
very important meeting. Well, I think I

need this table for a pretty important
meeting, too.

Well, can you find another great table
for your less important meeting?

Wait.

Why is mine less important?

You said pretty important. I said very
important.

Fine. I need this table for a very
important meeting, too. Well, can you

your very important meeting and find an
equally great table?

Like that one over there.

Can't see the holiday display or the
beautiful view. Okay, can you just be a

gentleman? This is the holidays, and I
don't know, let a recently unemployed

woman just have her way.

I really need to make a big impression
here today.

You must be Amy Kessler.

Wait, how did you know my name?

I'm Tiffany's cousin.

Housemate, Betsy, you name it.

Tiffany's cousin?

Wait, where's Tiffany?

There she goes.

Hi, Amy. I'm so sorry I couldn't make
it. I got caught at the recording

My cousin, Calvin, will be meeting you.

He's amazing. You'll love him.

Okay, well, I guess we got off on the
wrong foot then.

You think?

Amy Kessler, event designer.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Christmas.

Nice to meet you, too.

So...

Are you a photographer or?

That's right.

I take all of Tiffany's photos, social
medias, and otherwise.

She won't let anyone shoot except for
me, so I thought I'd take photos for the

reunion as well.

Great.

I guess you're hired then.

I also love your photo booth idea, too.
I thought it would be fun.

Thank you. I'm glad you liked it.

Tiffany and I also thought maybe you
could use my assistance, you know, with

little bit of help.

She's so busy with the album release
these days, and, you know, especially

moms combined can be a bit of a lot.

I also have an amazing eye for visuals,
so I don't mind giving you any direction

there, too, if needed.

Direction, hmm?

Yeah.

Well, we were just checking out this
holiday window display, so I assume you

must have great taste.

And with that in mind, I would love to
show you some venue possibilities I came

up with.

Uh -huh.

What? Did you guys already pick a place
to?

Actually, my mother and Aunt Mona both
want to have it at each of their places.

My mother feels it needs to be at her
place, but Aunt Mona thinks it's not as

homey and cozy enough and wants it at
her place.

Between you and me, I don't think either
can compromise.

Okay, well, have you hosted it at either
of their places before?

No, we always had it at Grandma Gladys'.
But now since she's gone, Aunt Amala's

there, and it doesn't seem like much of
an option now.

And also because Aunt Alma's not the one
to fight for it.

So what is the solution then?

Tiffany and I was thinking maybe we
could host a pre -reunion gathering at

place this weekend.

You can come and meet everyone as a pro.

And then they agreed and leave it up to
you to decide.

Okay.

I suppose I could do that.

Plus, I wanted to talk to you more about
your ideas.

Mm -hmm.

I loved everything Tiffany showed me,
but I thought it'd be cute. You know,

can incorporate some family traditions
into it.

Family traditions.

Okay. Got it. That is, of course,
provided if you're okay with it and up

challenge. Mm -hmm.

Always. Always?

Mm -hmm. Well, I really hope you mean
that because this reunion is not going

be no easy task.

Well, I'm not worried because I am going
to make it.

Perfect. Perfect?

Mm -hmm.

This is going to be a total disaster.

Oh, come on. It can't be that bad.

If I have to deal with him the whole
time, it will be.

And they even live together. So if I
want to meet up with Tiffany, he's

going to be there, too. We've had worse
clients. Come on.

Remember Bob the banker who watched
every penny of our budget? We had to

every line item approved.

He even counted the white tea light to
make sure we didn't take any.

But this guy was just smug.

Does the hot gene run in the family?

What does that mean?

I mean, is he as hot as Tiffany is?

Mm -hmm.

So he is hot.

I knew it.

Kaylee, pass me the dumplings.

Anyway, we have bigger fish to fry.

Tiffany says her family's filled with
matriarchs, and each one of them want to

have it their way.

So we figure out which one signs the
check.

That's who we listen to.

Nope, because I think Tiffany's paying
for the entire thing, so we have to

figure out who's really in charge now
that they're all competing, and that's

we really have to win over.

Finally taking charge of her life. You
know what, Amy Kessler?

That last dumpling in there, it's all
yours.

You are officially my hero.

Don't mind if I do.

No, I don't think so.

Those look so good. Oh, Mommy, come
here. I want to introduce you to our

Christmas family reunion planners.

Hello.

This is Amy. Hey.

And her assistant, Kaylee.

Ladies, this is my mother, Mona.

Mona, it is so nice to meet you.

Oh, gosh, I love your dress.

Oh, this?

Hey.

No, Tiffany bought it for me. She spent
way too much money on it. But I do look

good in it, don't I?

You certainly do. Love the style. Oh,
thank you. Thank you. Well, look at you

two ladies.

You know, initially I thought you guys
were some of Tiffany's model friends.

Oh, got it going on.

Thank you, but we are only here to make
sure that you have the best holiday

reunion ever.

Oh, well, thank you, and I accept all of
that. Because guess what? The reunion's

going to be at my house, right? You told
them that, right? Mom. What? That

hasn't been decided, and we still have a
lot to discuss.

Well, we have a lot to discuss about how
it's going to be at our house.

Right, baby? Um.

And ladies, this is my dad, Terrence.

Terrence, these are our party planners.

Nice to meet you, ladies.

I tell you, this food is something else.
You know, it's like Tiffany gave you a

list of my favorite things.

Actually, Mr. Christmas, she did.

Did you try the little fig glazed
chicken fritters?

Say what?

Why'd you do that?

Now these need to be entrees, sir.

Oh, God. No, they don't. Right. We'll be
right back. Okay, Tammis, take it easy.

Right.

You know who it was, my darling.

Oh, Aunt Eva's here. Come on. I want you
to meet her. Hey, can you head out and

grab the flag bag? Are you sure you're
good?

Yeah. I'll take it from here. Okay.
Okay.

Aunt Eve, I want you to meet Amy, our
reunion planner. Amy, this is my Aunt

You must be Calvin's mom. I can
certainly see the resemblance.

Well, of course. Amy, nice to meet you.

And what a lovely idea, this little pre
-reunion dinner you've put together.

Oh. Calvin says you're very good.

Don't know if I said that just yet, but
you did good, Amy.

Real good. Well, it was a ton of fun,
and...

A tiny taste of what's to come, I
suppose?

We shall see.

We generally tend to go a bit more
traditional with the holiday decor, but

is cute.

Thank you.

We just wanted to do something fresher
for Tiffany's Casita look. You know, the

space, it's very modern.

Yes, as is my home.

And yet I've still managed to instill a
homey and warm feeling anyway.

Well, you'll have to come see it.

I mean, after all, we're hoping to host
the reunion there this year, right? Yes.

I'm sorry. That's what you were hoping
to do, not what we were hoping to do.

Amy, please forgive my poor sister -in
-law. You know, she really thinks she's

the boss of this family ever since
Terrence lost his poor dear mother,

boss, really? Yes, the takeover spirit.

No, more like the well -organized one
who keeps the whole family together.

Mother. Oh, my God. No, no, no. Please
stop it. Stop it. Stop it.

What? You guys, please.

I barely just hired her.

Please don't scare her away. We still
have three weeks until the reunion.

Tiffany, I am your mother, and you will
never silence me like that in public.

What is wrong with you? Can I?

Baby, please. So everyone just wants to
team up on me today. Mama, Mom, I think

Alma's here. Will you please go help her
on the stairs?

I love you.

Look forward to seeing all the things
you're going to do, okay?

I can't wait to show you. All right.

Always the extra part.

My sister -in -law just showed up with
my baby nephew.

Hey, hey, don't worry about it.
Everything's under control.

Okay, okay.

Calvin,

would you go and get me a Shirley Temple
with extra cherries?

Sure. Thank you.

So, Amy, is it?

Yes, ma 'am. When you have a moment, I
would love to sit and talk with you

our family reunion.

I think once you...

See my place?

You will agree that it is the perfect
spot for the event.

Okay. And when would you like to talk
about it? How about right now?

Right.

Well, I guess you want to know what kind
of ideas I cooked up.

Yes, absolutely. I mean, you could
always use some improvement, right?

Look at you, my little man.

You've grown nearly an inch since I last
saw you.

No, that isn't true.

Letty just hasn't cut his hair all year.

Now, Mom, be sweet.

What? I am sweet.

Thank you.

I suppose I should go say hello.

Hello, my dear.

Uncle Leon and Aunt Alma.

See? Aunt Alma is Grandma Gladys'
youngest sister.

Ah, yeah. And their last name is
Charlie?

Oh, I see someone's been boning up on
the Christmas family guest list.

Oh, I am very good at names. Well, if
you're good with names, as you are

standing your ground.

My mother really wants to have the
reunion at her place.

And if you let her boss you, Amy, she
will.

Oh, looks like the apple didn't fall far
from the caramel candy tree.

What is that supposed to mean?

So your mom is passionate about a family
reunion venue.

It's a little more relevant than being a
territorial over a cafe table, I won't

mention. But hey, we came to a common
ground, didn't we?

Yeah, because we were forced to.

Good evening.

Good evening everyone!

I just wanted to thank everyone for
being here tonight and also thank

who downloaded my album!

Now then, we are so very excited about
our big upcoming family reunion. And we

just wanted to invite a few of you
locals out here tonight to look over my

up -to -date email tree and make sure
that we have everyone's correct

information, okay?

We also are going to discuss venue
options.

So tonight, here with us, we have
Miss...

Amy Kessler, who we have hired to help
us with the event.

So any questions, concerns, requests,
food allergies, anything like that, all

goes to her, and she is ready for you.
Yes. Well, thank you so much for having

me. I cannot wait to meet your big,
beautiful family.

If you guys have any questions, I'm so
happy to help with flights,

accommodations, anything that you guys
need.

Thank you.

Okay, now, so.

We're going to bring out some more hors
d 'oeuvres.

Everyone, go freshen up on your
cocktails. Oh, yeah. And don't forget to

the date for December 23rd for our 10
-year Christmas family reunion.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Go.

Woo -hoo.

And there you know.

Okay. The doctor said you can't have
that baby.

And, Mom. What? You know how you get
after two.

Tiffany. Tiffany.

Yes. Would you believe, on our way over
here, your Uncle Leon saw a girl on a

billboard, and she looked exactly like
you.

I'll tell you, it was a spitting image.

It was really something else, Tiffy.

Aunt Alma, Uncle Leon, that was me.

Well, Kevin, are you serious?

What the heck are you doing up on that
billboard, sweetheart?

I think I know what I'm getting you guys
for Christmas now.

I can't believe it.

So, Lettie, when are you expecting Eli
back from the service?

Hopefully before Christmas.

Kind of, kind of close, right? Yeah.

He was already supposed to be back.

Jonah, what did I say earlier?

But, Mom, I only ate half of the apple.
No, you ate off all the apple and half

the apple. Okay.

But I'm still hungry.

Just don't eat something else. Grab a
chicken fritter.

Seriously, though, there is so much
caramel on those apples, you could feed

whole army of Santa's apples with them.

Grandma Gladys' apples are so good. I
miss her so much. I don't know why Aunt

Alma won't just follow that recipe.

Jonah, what did I say?

Oh, my God.

Remember those days.

So if I put a snowflake projector in
front of the stage with the tree, will

be a problem for your lighting?

No, not at all.

Tiff,

um, had Calvin met Amy before this
evening?

Oh, yeah. You know, Calvin's been really
helpful with all the planning.

Oh, is that right?

Mm -hmm.

Hmm.

It actually looks great.

It could even be a Rocky Mountain snow
-capped mountain like where Grandma

Gladys grew up. That is a fantastic
idea.

Look at us, finally agreeing on
something for once, Amy Kessler.

At first, I was getting a little bit
more concerned.

Well, the only thing you should be
concerned about is how to admit what a

fantastic job I do in the end. Well, if
it's anything like what you did tonight,

I may stand corrected.

But I still think you have your work cut
out for you, Amy.

It's not all about you when you're home.

Well, it's not all about me. Oh, my God.
Let's talk to Amy.

Amy.

Incoming. Hi, honey. Hi, dear.

We've come to a bit of a truth. Just a
bit of one. Okay. Of course. And, um...

How is Monday, this Monday, to come by
my home?

See, where Calvin grew up, I have a
lovely koi pond and a fantastic garden

just can't miss. I can definitely be
there.

For sure.

Right? Yeah. Okay, well, how is Thursday
for you to come by my house and see

where Tiffany grew up? I mean, our home
is just as good. We don't have a koi

pond. Fish smell fishy.

All right. But we do have a baby grand
piano that is just itching to be played.

I can be there, too.

Fantastic. Well, those days don't work
for me because I have a signing on

and a morning show on Thursday. Why did
you even say Thursday anyway? Because I

need time to get the house ready.

Okay, but you can't just reschedule it,
honey. Oh, yes. That's what she's going

to do. She's going to reschedule her
whole PR tour for you. Yes, it's called

production. And that's what they do.
They make adjustments. Not for the

of the artist. Honey, it's the stage
mother they do. Oh, well, there you go.

No, Mom, I really can't do that.

Ladies, it's okay. I can bring Amy out.

I'm free.

Just have a few, you know, a couple
greeting card shoots, but no one's

for any headshots at this point in the
year, so I can bring you.

Perfect. That works out perfect.

Very convenient.

Yep. Thank you. No problem. Good, good,
good. Okay, and then that way we can all

decide whose home we will have the
reunion at.

Actually, Amy will decide where we're
having the reunion, right?

Because that's what we all agree on,
right?

Did everyone get a chance to try my
candy apple?

Yes, we did. I almost went into a
diabetic coma, but they were delicious.

were delicious.

They are delicious, aren't they?

So, now, Amy, is it? Was that right?

Yes, ma 'am. It is so nice to meet you.

Oh, it's nice to meet you, dear.

So if we are going to talk about having
the reunion at my place on the 23rd,

we've got a lot to talk about, right?
Yes. Christmas is just around the

so we have to make some big decisions
very soon.

Wait a minute.

Here we are.

Is this where you grew up?

Aventura County kind of Christmas since
I was a little kid.

Are you an only child?

My mom said I was a surprise.

Oh. Dad said only a surprise to her.

But that even in her heart. She knew I
was meant to come and rescue her.

Rescue her from what?

Well, my dad passed away ten years ago
right after I graduated from college.

Not too long after our last Christmas
reunion, actually.

Oh, Calvin, I'm...

Sorry to hear it. It's fine.

Stan died a happy, happy man.

And we all got to say goodbye.

It was bittersweet.

But he's still here, you know?

Still feel him every day.

Well, you ready to meet Mom?

Yeah. All right.

Wow.

This arrangement and that garland are
all very impressive.

Yeah. My mom loves to redo the holiday
decor every couple years.

She has a strong opinion about decor.

A person with strong opinions does a
strong leader make.

Amy, hi again.

Hi, this is Christmas.

Please call me Eve.

Eve Christmas?

Yes, but please don't write it down. It
seems to always come out backwards.

Hey, Mom.

Hi, darling.

Good to see you. Good to see you.

Wow. Eve, I just love these poinsettia
arrangements.

They look like they just walked off of
some Rodeo drive window display. Hey,

have to tell me who the designer is.

You're looking at her.

You are?

I am.

I was just launching into interior
design when my sweet little Calvin came

along. I ruined her dreams of becoming a
first black Martha Stewart.

Oh, shush. Don't say that.

You were my angel.

My miracle may become true, and I
wouldn't have it any other way.

Just that really bad timing is all.

Now, that man couldn't get anywhere on
time, even if he tried.

But it just so happens that you two have
come along at the perfect time.

Oh. Uh -oh.

I know what that means.

She's putting us to work.

That's right.

Follow me.

Great.

What is all this?

I told you, she's putting us to work.

These are Santa's stockings from Stan.

Now say that three times fast, and let's
get to stuffing. Wait, did you say

Santa's stockings from Stan?

Isn't that your father's name?

It's an old Christmas family tradition
my husband started when he was a little

boy. When he found out that there were
kids who didn't get toys or gifts for

Christmas, he asked his mama Gladys and
his papa Joe.

To give his toys to the kids in need.

So, after he passed, Calvin and I
decided to continue that tradition in

name. The whole Christmas family
participates.

So, no family gifts at all?

Nope. We haven't exchanged gifts in the
past ten years. My goodness.

That is so incredible.

I think I know exactly what I'm going to
ask my parents for next Christmas.

And where are your parents, Amy?

Oh, they're here.

Up in Santa Barbara.

Oh, fancy living, huh?

Yeah, you know, they still do nice
things, like donate money to charities.

But this, this just feels

warmer, more personal.

I love it.

And I see you're not married, huh?

Mother. What? It's just a friendly
conversation. It's fine.

I was in a serious relationship, and I
thought we were going to get married,

nope, I am still single.

Hmm.

So, what's next?

Get to stuffing.

Okay.

We stuffed three dozen of stockings. I
say we clinked up.

Well done.

What now?

Now we take these down to First
Presbyterian Church.

They have a distribution list of all the
families in need.

Then we surprise the families by leaving
them on their doorstep on Christmas

Eve.

Aw, I love it.

Oh, can I go through the coupon?

Wow, they're so beautiful.

That they are.

Now you look a lot like your dad.

Thank you.

You guys have the same smile.

He was a good -looking dude.

Come on, let me show you the ride.

Okay.

These lampposts are incredible.

Yeah, my dad put these up when I was
small.

He and my mom knew I was notorious for
sneaking out the house, especially

the holidays.

Why especially the holidays?

Well, I thought Santa and I had a
special deal. I used to bring cookies

my favorite play spot.

And I was sure if I came in at night,
I'd eventually see them.

Of course, I thought Santa would be in
the cookies.

Now I'm pretty sure it was just a
squirrel or birds.

A pine cone tree. How adorable.

Yeah. My mom always loved pine cones.

So we all built it together one year for
Santa.

We used to put the cookies right on this
small stump sitting next to the tree.

Memories.

Think I could get a photo?

Sure.

Even though I think I have some already
in my phone where I could send. Great.

Thanks.

You want to know what I think?

What's that?

How do you know? It wasn't really Santa
who was eating the cookies you left out.

With these lampposts to guide him, it
would have been pretty easy for him to

find it on his sleigh, don't you think?

Yeah.

So,

what do you think of our place?

Perfect spot for the reunion, yeah?

I think it's definitely a strong
contender.

You sold it very well.

Well, obviously not well enough if you
haven't made a decision yet.

Well, it's just that I promised everyone
that I would check out all the places

first, so... My mom is just teasing you.
She knows we have to be fair about

this, right?

Yes, of course I do.

But because Amy clearly has good taste,
I'm convinced that you'll decide what's

fair.

Is having it right here.

Is she going to hate me if we decide to
have it somewhere else? No, she might

pretend you don't exist when she sees
you next. But definitely wouldn't hate

you.

I'm teasing you.

Totally teasing.

Thanks.

my favorite nephew.

I thought Bryson was your favorite.

Oh, Bryson is my favorite during soccer
season and when he's playing.

Hi. Hi, baby.

Luna, it's so good to see you again.

Oh, it's so good to see you. And you
know what? I'm excited you were here

because you're just in time to help me
put up the Christmas lights on the

Hey, you ready to get to work?

Uh -huh.

It's a Christmas family tradition, I
guess. You visit family, they put you to

work. No complaints from me.

Oh! Exactly, because who doesn't like
putting up Christmas lights?

Especially on a porch like this, Mona.
This house is spectacular.

Oh, well, I am so glad you approved,
darling.

Come on in. I'm going to give you the
full tour.

Okay.

This is so precious.

Oh, tip it, Ike.

We started that collection when she was
just a kid. No wonder Tiffany loves

Christmas so much. It really shows in
her new holiday album.

I know, right?

My baby is so talented.

Come on. Okay.

This stuff is vintage, isn't it?

Yes. I am a vintage Christmas
connoisseur. Well, it definitely shows.

Hey, can we get some photos of all of
us?

No, no problem. I got you. Great. Oh,
Calvin.

Make sure you get your auntie. Yes, ma
'am.

And look at baby Jesus. Thank you.

He's so cute.

Don't touch it. Oh, sorry. Don't touch
it. Okay. All right.

A little higher. Just right here, baby.

Oh, Amy.

So, I take it you went out to see Eve's
place on Monday?

Yes, and her place is beautiful, too.
Oh, for sure.

But, you know, we both have very
different decorating styles, even though

appreciate her decorating expertise.

Absolutely, but you both have excellent
decorating skills.

So, I guess it's safe to say that I am
still in the running.

Mona, doesn't matter where we have this
reunion, you'll still have all eyes on

you. You always do.

You hear that, Calvin? I hear it. That's
how you get the girl of your dreams. He

still knows how to woo me after 32
years.

What's next?

You'll see.

Wow.

This must be Tiffany's old room.

Yeah, I used to get stuck sleeping there
right on the floor as a kid when Mom

and Dad brought us for a visit.

Aw, little Calvin on a sleeping bag in a
sea of pink.

I can see it now.

Oh, you got jokes now.

Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm.

Come on, let's go.

He finally arrived.

Uh -huh.

Wow.

Do you think your Aunt Mona would let us
borrow some of the stuff for the

reunion? Oh, yeah. It's not a problem at
all.

Except cool Santa here. Oh.

He stays and protects all her stuff. Get
a photo with him. Yeah. At least we can

ask him anyway.

She... Chic.

Well,

these are chic. Come here.

Something else.

It looks adorable.

One,

two, three. Money.

Money. All right. Light it up.

Light it up, baby.

Never ceases to amaze me. No, you never
cease to amaze me, Mr. Christmas.

Tiffany Ann.

I thought you had the morning show.

What are you doing?

Mom, it was the morning show.

It's night. I'm done.

I couldn't miss the beautiful house
lighting ceremony.

Tiffany, I'm so glad you made it.

And girl, I may have plugged you on the
morning show.

What? Yes. I mean, just how amazing you
are in getting our family reunion set

up. Thank you. That is so sweet. Of
course.

My little girl moving back home.

You wish, Daddy.

This is so beautiful.

Isn't it gorgeous? It looks so good, as
always.

I think we just have to be doing it here
and call it a night.

Okay.

Okay.

You think about it.

So,

have you heard anything more as to when
Eli will be home?

Letty said maybe Christmas, but...

We just don't know.

I mean, he's still active duty in the
Air Force, though.

I have no clue.

Well,

I sure hope he makes it in time for, you
know, Little Jonah's sake.

Don't we all? This old piano is
incredible.

Guess now I know where your musical
talents came from.

All right, all right.

Get over here.

Okay, I think it's time for a little
Christmas family tradition, because I

think Miss...

Amy is quite sold on having the family
reunion here yet.

So, you're going to get a treat that you
can only get at Miss Mona's house.

Christmas carols and cocoa.

Oh.

Go on, Tiffany.

Show them what you have there. Okay. All
right. Shall we?

We shall.

All right. All right.

You're going to love this.

Like the herald angels.

over there, just like my brother Stan
was.

Hey, this doesn't all look like the
stuff from your original sketches.

Well, I kind of decided to go in a new
direction, I think.

You, go in a new direction? Since when?
This isn't rose gold and champagne we're

talking about here. Exactly.

It's a family reunion, so we should
treat it like one.

Oh, thank you. You're welcome.

Right this way.

This is... Like something out of a fairy
tale. I know. An old romantic

Christmas fairy tale.

Welcome to Cassidy Christmas.

Is this... Is this handmade?

Yep. By my great -grandmother Ethel.

This wreath has magical Christmas
powers. I can feel it.

Well, I sure hope so.

It's a Christmas family original.

Welcome.

Wow.

Indeed.

Lots of this stuff has been passed down.

My guess is my mom and Aunt Mona are
going to have to fight to see who gets

someday.

Hey, family.

Uncle Cal!

Hey.

Hi. Hey, buddy.

He likes to call me his uncle. You know
he's technically my cousin. You know me

better than that. I don't live on
technicalities.

Whatever that is.

So, you're Calvin's girlfriend, yes?

And Alma knows she's his friend and our
reunion planner, remember? Yeah, you met

her at me and Tiffany's place just a
week or so ago.

Oh, right.

Oh, I'm so sorry, hon. It's fine.

Well, maybe she should be your
girlfriend. She sure is pretty.

Jonah, excuse me a little bit.

Can I get you guys some pumpkin nog? I
made some fresh from the pumpkin just

this morning.

Pumpkin? Yes, please.

Okay.

Look, Uncle Cal, we're making our yearly
annual gingerbread houses for the

dining room table.

You mean yearly or annual?

You know it means the same thing, little
bud.

I knew that. I was testing you.

What are you doing?

Well, I assume we're getting put to
work, no?

Looks like another Christmas family
tradition to me.

Now, I like this one. She's got the
right idea.

Now, you go over there and wash your
hands.

But you know I'm really bad at making
gingerbread houses, all right?

He's not lying.

Last year, his gingerbread house caved
in and my dad had to come in last second

for major construction reinforcements.
That's right. He had to make little

cane beams to hold them together.

And those were Gladys' famous homemade
candy canes. It was a waste of tasty

holiday treats, if you ask me.

Yeah, I agree. Which is why I should
just take photos and be a nice spectator

today. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.

If I'm building a house,

You're building a house, too.

Oh, really?

Mm -hmm. Okay.

I feel bad.

What do you think?

Yeah.

This looks really good.

You think so?

Oh, I was talking about the eggnog.

But your house, it's not that.

Really? I don't know if I call it good.

Okay, okay.

Let's call in Uncle Leon.

Uncle Leon!

What's all this yelling about?

We need you to judge our houses. You're
the only one with a bias.

Without a bias.

Another test.

Good thing you passed.

All right, let me see here.

You built this house?

Yep.

Did a hurricane come through there?

The roof looks all hush -to -cutch.

You know what? It's fine.

There you go.

Jonas' house is clearly the winner.

Now, can I go back out and get my work
done?

I've still got to feed the chicken.

The chicken?

Even the best will ask.

This is where the reunion was ten years
ago.

Last time Dad was here.

It's perfect.

Great. Tiffany, I also agree.

Why didn't you guys say something?

You needed a professional opinion.

That was fun.

All of our trips have been a lot of fun.

You know, I wish my parents had a
fraction of the Christmas spirit that

does. Why?

Your family doesn't like the holidays?

No, they do. It's just my dad, he loves
food and sports.

And my mom loves shopping and buying
gifts for extended family.

And don't get me wrong, I love my
family.

It's just I do spend my Christmases
cooking with the maid and watching

movies. Christmas movies, huh?

What? I get a ton of inspiration from
them.

No judgment here. I could dig some
Christmas movies.

But the viewings are meant to be shared.

Well, then maybe I'll ask Santa and see
if he can extend his visit next time. Or

if Santa's too busy, which I know he
will be,

I could join you.

I'll ask Santa and see what he says.

I don't know the idea.

I just need a view with the best seat,
that's all.

To be discussed.

Seat Stealer.

Okay,

um, I guess we should get going.

Can you swing by Sunday at noon? Yeah,
Sunday at noon. Mm -hmm, yeah, um, can I

just have to reconfigure a couple of
things?

Oh, no, no, no, this won't be about any
of that stuff.

This is so we can tell our moms where
we're having the event.

We? Oh.

We.

Kristen. It is a message.

Everyone.

All right, everyone.

After much deliberation, we have finally
come to a decision on the reunion and

where we'll have it this year. It was a
hard decision for us to make as a fellow

family, and that is why we objectively
left it to... Amy.

Though we support the decision.

Now then, Amy, you can tell them.

Well, after much thought, I decided the
theme for this year's family reunion is

Christmas tradition.

And not the holiday Christmas.

What I mean is the Christmas family and
your traditions.

That's cute.

Okay.

But all of our houses have a Christmas
family tradition.

Right, and so many wonderful ones, too.

But with that in mind, I think the best
place for a reunion filled with lots of

tradition is where it all started.

Alma and Leon's place.

Whatever.

Listen, I can't believe we have left our
family tradition up to this little

party planner.

She doesn't even have any skin in the
game. Exactly why we left it to her at

end, Mom.

Amy knows what she's doing.

Really? I think we could trust that.
Does he?

Or maybe Amy should take another trip
down to the ranch house.

Amy, do you like deep fried turkey?

Because you know Terrence, he makes the
deep ass, and I'm sure that he would

love to make some for you. Mom. What?

You cannot bribe her.

You cannot bribe her.

You guys, we don't have time to keep
going back and forth about this. We have

two weeks left for the reunion now. The
flights have already been booked, and

the invitations have to go out by
Monday, all right? Listen, I knew that

a mistake to leave this reunion up to
you kids. We are the parents, and we

know what is best for this family.

Speak for yourself, dear. If you know
what's best, Mom, maybe you and Aunt

might agree on something for once. How
dare you speak to me in that tone,

Galvin? Everyone, please, may I just
say...

If you all trust me and give me a chance
to bring this reunion to life the way I

know I can, I promise I will not let you
down.

You sure you don't want to come back to
the ranch house?

Mom. What? I make a mean margarita.
Girl, you do.

Alma.

Alma, is there anything else that you
would like to add?

About what?

About us having the family reunion at
your place now.

Well, wasn't it always going to be here?

Oh, my God. Okay.

See?

Absolutely.

Amy,

this

is incredible.

Really.

Really? You like it? It's perfect.

And the pinecone tree. Nice touch, Ms.
Kessler.

Oh, well, I just figured since you took
my table, you wouldn't mind me stealing

your tree.

All right.

What's next on the agenda?

I think it's time to decorate.

Let's go.

Yes.

They wake up the dark.

I walk in the crowd.

Song in my head.

Gonna buy you something that you'll
never forget.

The best love time of year.

Filling up with... Hey, let me grab a
photo of you guys all together.

of truth.

There's a magical thing that I want to
see.

Who's ready to try my special take on
Gladys' recipe?

Thank you. Thank you so much.

I think

they're

a little strong.

Only a little. Like, just a little bit.
You know what?

Some people love strong mint.

Or...

Maybe just for the reunion, it would be
nice if we stuck to Grandma's recipe.

To honor her.

Grandma's recipe.

I like that.

Okay, you might be right. I think I'll
stick to the original recipe.

Good idea.

I apologize.

You know, I think he's the one.

You sure you don't need any more help?

I think we're okay.

Shall we?

We shall.

It's on your jacket.

Oh.

Must have gotten some dirt from the
photo booth.

Yeah.

Mind if you let me see?

Sure.

Okay.

Thank you.

There.

She's all better.

Grandma Gladys. She seems to be the glue
that held the family together, huh?

Oh, yeah. She's the woman that could
work and play and check on everyone all

the same day. And your mom and Aunt
Mona, they seem to really look up to

Yeah, I feel like both of them marrying
their two sons may compete for her

attention. And that's where all this
venue drama stems from.

Well, I can only imagine how difficult
it must be.

Being someone's daughter -in -law, I
mean, trying to do the same job with

kids as they did with theirs.

Right. My dad, he made my mother much
sweeter.

Better. You feel a lot like Grandma
Gladys, actually.

I think you're a lot like them, too.

Oh, yeah?

Table -taker?

You're calling me sweet?

Well, I didn't want to admit that.

But it's kind of hard not to.

I mean, here you are, helping me with my
jacket.

You're not that bad yourself, actually.

A lot like my mom.

Talk a big talk, but you're sweet down
beneath all this polishedness. Oh.

You really poured your heart out into
this Christmas family reunion.

Seems to me that the holiday spirit is
kind of your thing.

Your boss must be grateful to have you.

My boss?

Yeah, it's a little complicated.

Look, I've been meaning to tell you
something.

There you are.

Hi. What are you two doing out here in
the cold?

Uh, Mom.

What are you doing here? I came to check
on things and see how the decorations

were going.

And actually, Uncle Leon is bringing in
some groceries that I brought over. I'm

sure he could use your help, Calvin.

Yeah, for sure.

You good, Amy?

Oh, yeah. I'm great. Thank you for
helping me with my jacket.

No problem.

I'll see you tomorrow to do the gift
bags.

Yep. Bright and early.

Good night.

Good night.

I'll see you inside, Mom.

Sounds good.

All right.

So? So, it is a work in progress.

Clearly.

Seems like there's a lot still left to
do in just a week. Right. And I do have

couple of assistants coming in next week
to help with the stuff that we don't

want weathered right before the reunion.

And the Santa Seda?

I think you're going to love it.

Well, I hope so.

Merry Christmas. Look at these swag
bags.

Hey. Good morning.

Look at all these brands. I got to
sponsor our swag bags for free.

Tiffany, that is amazing.

Yes. Well, you guys, let's get going.
They're not going to stuff themselves.

Let's get to stuffing them.

Oh, you guys, it's my manager. I got to
take this. One second.

Hey, Ricky.

She's not coming back, is she?
Definitely not.

I guess it's just us, huh?

I guess so.

You go first.

I'm scared to. Okay.

You will find the true path to love.

I can get with that.

I think you have mine. Give me.

Absolutely not.

Here.

This is yours.

You will catch a shooting

star. Oh, maybe you did get mine.

Nope.

Nope?

Okay.

I did get you something, though. You
did?

Follow me.

Okay.

What is this?

Just a little gift, just to say thank
you for making our family a great one.

I was filming Fanatic Gifts back for all
your Christmas binge -watching.

Oh, this is so sweet.

I mean, you're going to share it with
me, right, when I come over and binge

-watch with you, but you're welcome.

Oh, my God, you guys, I'm so sorry. I
just had to take, like, 100 calls, and I

really hope you save me some food.

Okay, well, what's going on here? What
did I miss?

Nothing, nothing at all.

Okay, anyways.

How would you two like to come with me
to Miss Pia Perna's rockin' holiday

tomorrow night? Wait, you mean the Pia
Perna? Like, the music producer?

Yeah, like the one who produced my
entire album, Hello.

Amy, you actually met her the same day
you met me at the salon, remember?

Oh, wait.

She was so young. She is.

Which means that this party is going to
be fun, right?

Definitely.

Okay, so this is going to be a thing
now.

You guys are just gonna start talking
together?

Oh, no.

None

of

these look great.

I'm going to a gorgeously famous
producer's party with an equally

famous singer.

You are equally as gorgeous, okay?

And... You looked great in all of those.

Really?

Um, yeah.

I think the real question is, who are
you trying to look amazing for?

And if we're talking about Calvin, that
one.

No, I'm dead serious. I was like...
Tiffany,

when are Mona and your dad getting here?

They're not coming. They said Jonah's
secret Santa exchange at school ran

so... Oh, so Mona's leaving me here with
all these young people?

I'm gonna need a drink.

But you don't drink.

I'll make it a virgin.

So, what did you think of the album?

Well, I told Tiffany I thought it was
amazing.

I mean, the album covers and the singles
are perfect.

Does Team of Dreams deserve all the
attention it's getting?

Oh, thank you. And that one was totally
my baby, too.

Oh, yeah?

You did a great job.

Stop. Seriously.

But not really.

Now, if we can just get Frostbitten to
become a hit, right?

We'll definitely get him a record deal.
100 % done.

She actually came.

You look... I mean... I have nothing.

I will take that as a compliment.

Yeah. I'm speechless.

Well, I will say this.

I didn't go shopping for this dress. I
just happened to have it, and I threw it

on. This was definitely the right
choice.

Amy!

happy you came.

And that dress looks great on you.

It sure does.

I think I'm gonna get a drink. You want
one? Please, a double.

Okay.

Mark, can I get a Cosmo, please?

Oh, did you want another?

Yeah, uh, Shirley Temple, please.

Thank you. Of course.

So did you see that Amy outside?

The family reunion event planner.

Oh, right, yeah.

She's out back with your son, swooning
over her.

Oh.

Pia.

Frankie, hi.

Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas.

Thanks so much for having me. Thank you
for coming.

Oh, Frankie, this is Eve.

Eve is Tiff's aunt.

Eve, Frankie Diaz. Hello.

Hi there. Very nice to meet you. Happy
holidays.

Well, Merry Christmas to you, too.

Thank you. So how do you know our
Tiffany?

Oh, right.

Well, Pia and I go way back.

I heard Tiffany was looking for an event
designer, and I tried to get the gig,

but it didn't work out.

But aren't you with Diaz Designs?

Well, I am Diaz Designs. My family owns
it. Oh.

But we did hire you.

Your event planner, Amy.

So I was going to ask you.

I know you have the reunion on Christmas
Eve.

Mm -hmm.

And then Christmas with your parents,
you know, me and my mom.

But I don't have any Christmas Eve
plans. So if you don't either, I was

you and I could watch Christmas movies
if you want.

I would actually love that.

Yeah?

But... Let me guess.

You already have a New Year's event
planned for work. No, no, it's not that.

It's just... What is it?

The truth is... Yeah?

My job. What job, dear?

Because as far as I can tell, you don't
have a job now.

Frankie, what are you doing here?

Frankie! Hi!

Tiffany, hi. How are you? I'm good. How
are you? Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas. Let me tell you, your
girl here is killing it.

Oh, no, not really killing it. Because
she quit and took his gig.

Well, that's not entirely true. Oh,
really, Amy? Well, then what is true?

Because Frankie said you took his job
that our family was considering his

company for. Or did you just not realize
that?

Tiffany, look, I was meaning to tell
you, I did work for Frankie. Before you

took my client.

I mean, what else is there to explain,
Amy? That maybe you stole my ideas, too?

You worked for me. Your ideas were mine.

Or did you not read your contract you
signed upon your hire?

Tiffany. I was meaning to tell you this,
but... She was hoping to wait until she

got final payment, I'm fairly sure.
Okay, could you guys take this out

This is really not a good look for
Tiffany.

Well, don't you worry about that.

Calvin, I'm ready to go.

No problem, Mom.

See you later.

We should talk about this another day.

I will just...

See myself out.

You'll surely be hearing from my lawyer.

Merry Christmas, Ames.

Calvin!

I'm sorry.

I meant to tell you.

I tried to tell you.

Yeah, but you didn't.

I gotta go, Amy.

Nice. Oh,

that'll be Amy with the last of the drop
-off. Would you grab that, hon?

Certainly.

Kaylee, hi.

Where's Amy?

Amy's actually not feeling great, so
I'll be taking over for the remainder of

the project.

She'll be issuing a full refund for the
inconvenience, but may I come in?

Well, sure. Come on.

Look at that.

Candy cane land.

Told you.

What did you tell me?

What exactly did you tell me?

Anoma!

Auntie?

Kaylee. I didn't know you were stopping
by. I was just heading out.

Amy is not here today.

Yeah. She asked me to cover the rest of
the event, given the circumstances.

But I'm actually glad you're here,
because I wanted to tell you it's my

the way that everything went down.

What's your fault?

Amy did want to tell Tiffany that we
left Frankie's company, but I said that

would take care of it, and then I just
didn't take care of it.

Hmm. I was just so mad at Frankie for
trying to take this gig away from Amy

use the designs himself.

He was a terrible boss to her.

She was up for a big promotion, and he
used his family connections to take it.

Then he was going to literally take the
ideas that Tiffany loved, use them, and

not let Amy design her own work.

Wow.

That's pretty insane.

I didn't know. After hearing all this
and actually meeting that man, I'm

Surprise. Yeah. Well, we really are
sorry for the way that everything went

And if you want to bring someone else in
to work the event, we understand.

Hmm. Either way, Amy said it's probably
not a good idea for her to come. So

unless you feel otherwise, I'll be here
Saturday for the event alone.

Yeah.

Hey,

where'd these come from? Amy didn't
mention these.

Yeah.

They're a special gift from Amy for the
whole family, since you guys never

exchange gifts.

Don't worry, it's outside the budget.

Just something she wanted to do.

I guess you kind of liked that girl,
didn't you?

Yeah.

I kind of did, actually.

You know. I know what you look like when
you're smitten.

Your father used to look at me that way.

And I guess I was kind of a complicated
woman as well.

You still are, Mother.

And you like that.

This is sweet.

It is.

Tiffany. Hi.

Hey.

Eve.

Hi.

May we come in?

Of course.

This is quite tasteful.

Thank you. That means a lot coming from
you.

I got all of your voicemails.

All five of them.

As well as three emails.

Right. And I wanted to apologize to you
in person.

But you've already done that eight
times, which is more than enough.

The reason why we're here is because we
wanted to say thank you. I stopped by Al

Alma's this morning, and the reunion you
put together is simply amazing.

Well, I'm really glad you guys are
happy.

And... Eve here told me about everything
else as well, so... Everything else?

Yeah. About Frankie being a total jerk,
him trying to take this gig from you,

and just being a crappy human, period.

Right.

So, we're sorry that that happened.

But it still doesn't take back the fact
that what you did was inexcusable.

That's right.

And so we feel the only way that you
could truly make it up to us is for you

attend our family reunion to ensure that
nothing else goes wrong.

Wait.

Seriously? Plus, I mean, it already
feels like you're a part of the family,

it would be a real shame if you missed
it. I know my son would feel that way.

You did break his heart.

And the least you could do.

He's come back so you could give him his
only Christmas wish.

My chest.

You, my dear.

I'll admit I was a little bit resistant
at first.

But I could see.

The minute you walked into the room with
Calvin that the two of you were feeling

each other.

I'm just a protective mama bear type is
all.

I... Thought you didn't like me because,
I don't know, I said something off

-putting or... Amy, if you ever said
anything off -putting, I wouldn't be

to talk to you about it, okay? Trust me.

Well, thank you. And your family means
so much to me.

Especially Calvin.

I just want to make sure that I'm
listening.

You are.

Just... Took me a minute to get used to
the idea and really see

who you are.

So, do you want to come to our family
reunion?

We'd still love to have you.

I would love to. Yay!

Okay, good.

Cheers.

Cheers.

All right. All

right.

Oh, no, Alma. You're not overwhelmed,
are you? Are you kidding?

I live for this.

I know you do.

All he would be glad is to appear to see
it.

Oh, don't we all, Alma.

Yes, he sure could throw a party.

But, Tiffany, what you did here, thank
you. It's amazing what you did for the

family. Thank you. Anything for the
family, right? I mean, that's what

is all about. And what the Christmas
family is all about.

That's right.

Oh, wow. Look at you.

Little handsome man.

Tiffany, you sure look pretty, too.

Almost as pretty as my mom.

My little man.

And my biggest fan.

Well, one of them. And speaking of fans,
attention, everyone.

But I think we have a special guest here
tonight.

There you go.

Mom keeps rusting me around instead.

I thought you weren't coming to the
27th. Well, I couldn't miss a Christmas

family reunion, could I? Well, you know
what? I knew you better get over here

and give your mother a big hug. Look at
you.

Are you eating okay? I'm a military man.
Look at

your mother.

You're looking gorgeous over there.

Look at your cousin.

Oh, good to have you back. Yeah.

This is turning into the most fabulous
Christmas

after all. Yeah, it sure is, huh? And
I'm going to even make some decent candy

cane. Okay. You got that right finally.

Thank you. Thank you.

She's finally following your Grandma
Gladys' recipe.

Yeah, she is. My goodness.

Oh.

And honey.

Thanks. In good part to you and all that
you've done, we have nearly raised over

$10 ,000 from family donations for
Stan's stocking.

We did? We did.

Wow. Honey, you are such a marvelous
man. You know that?

I'm really proud of you.

Thank you. And you know your dad is
here?

He's here with us.

And I know he's proud of you, too.

Merry Christmas, baby.

Merry Christmas, Mom.

Love you, baby.

All right, now go and say hi to the
person who got this thing all together.

Ah, Amy's not here.

She is, though.

Over there.

Bye.

So Christmas miracles do come true.

For what? For saving you money on a
reunion photographer, of course. Oh.

Thank you.

And thank you.

You did an amazing job on this reunion,
Amy.

You didn't even know my family just a
few weeks ago.

Now it's like you've known us forever.

What can I say?

My family is not really in the Christmas
spirit, and yours just

inspired me.

Well, maybe your family could come
around.

We'll be happy to have them at the next
reunion.

You know, get them into the holiday
spirit.

Oh.

I think they'd like that. Yeah?

Yeah. How about you, Amy?

Would you like that?

What?

To be at the next reunion.

Because I'd really like to have you at
all.

Oh. If I had it my way, actually.

Well, you know I like to be put to work.

All right. Mm -hmm.

You come to the reunion, and I promise
to share the table with the best of you

with you.

Ah.

Deal.

Deal.

All right, everyone. And now it is time
for another annual Christmas family

tradition. We do this at my mom's house.
Christmas caroling and hot cocoa.

music.

Broken hearted with no Christmas

catch a shooting star.

It's not.

Well, at least one of our fortunes came
true.

What do you mean?

A true path to love?

I just needed a couple lampposts to get
there.

Just a few.
