Oh, darling, when you wake up in the morning,

find a note under your tree, hope you know that it's from me, sincerely,

Christmas.

So dearest, I think it's time for you to hear this.

You're the only one I need from now on, it's you and me.

Sincerely, Christmas.

Sincerely, Christmas.

Greetings, seasonal shopper, need any help? Good morning, I'm looking for a

wreath. Well, we have plenty of those. Great. It has to be 26 inches, frosted

berry, freshly cut, balsam fir.

For my mother, she has very specific tastes.

Dan Copeland!

Oh, Sincerely Christmas is, hand down, the greatest Christmas song ever

I love Sincerely Christmas. It's so romantic, isn't it? A man putting his

on the line, finally telling his love he wants to spend the rest of his life

with her because he realizes if you can't be honest at Christmastime, when

you be?

Right? Never.

Exactly.

How about that wreath?

Oh, right this way. Great.

Oh, this is perfect.

It's very frosty. Yes, please. Perfect. I will wrap it up for you. Thank you.

Honey, Christina's home.

Hello.

Hey.

Oh.

Perfect.

Honey, your dad and I wanted to thank you. I know hosting your parents can be

challenging. Oh, come on. John, when do we get to do this?

So nice to have you guys here.

We'll see if you feel that way a week from now.

The tree looks beautiful.

Did you leave me an ornament or two?

Oh, oh, oh, wait, wait. Don't look yet.

Tradition is important.

Where is he?

There we go.

What? Mr.

Snowman always goes on the left side of the tree.

Just because we're not home doesn't mean we can't keep our Christmas traditions

alive. I brought these ornaments for a reason.

I brought with great care and effort.

Your mother individually bubble -wrapped each ornament, put them in that box,

and then made me travel from Columbus to JFK with that box on my lap.

You know, New York City's a big place.

We could have picked up ornaments here. If we bought ornaments instead of

bringing them, they wouldn't be ours. Not the same way.

Your mother's very sentimental, and yes, that can be delightful.

And now I'm going to feel the outside of this fireplace insert.

Dad, why do I feel like every time you visit, you spend your entire trip

renovating my apartment?

Because your apartment is in desperate need of renovation.

Wow.

Remember this?

The North Star.

You, my dear, used to make a wish on the North Star every Christmas.

You know, last year when I brought Randy home, we put the North Star up

together.

Who dumps someone three weeks before Christmas?

That's like sacrilegious or something, isn't it?

Clearly, Randy wasn't the one.

It'd have been two years. I don't think it was unreasonable of me to suggest if

he wanted to be with me, he needed to propose, right?

Of course not.

On the other hand, speaking from experience, sometimes a little left

a long way.

For instance, you see the way your mother's looking at me right now?

Case in point.

Yep. Oh, hi.

Morning.

Morning, Matt. Department meetings start yet? Good morning. You're just in time.

What's that smile?

The annual Papparata Christmas charity fundraiser. We chose an artist?

Mm -hmm.

Who?

Turnley? You're going with Turnley.

Christina? I'm sorry, I just don't understand this. The point of a

the point of releasing a Christmas single... Is to raise as much money as

can. Yes, but with an artist who's authentic, who cares about giving back.

Christina. Turnley is a soulless pop star who couldn't hit an IF without

Autotune.

What?

Christina, we have Turnley and her team on the line.

fire someone for telling the truth.

Anyone can be a yes man or woman.

Speaking up, saying what's on your mind, that's an invaluable asset.

That's... I really messed up, Mom.

Hey, um, can I call you back?

Okay. Love you.

You left your door open.

Hello? See anything here you like? Oh, uh, no, no, I just, um, I saw the door

was open and I wanted to make sure. No one was home while you took the

television. Oh, I understand.

Well, I was just trying to help, so.

You know, Dan and I did some business together back in the day. I could get

signed for you if you want.

Okay, I'm gonna go now.

Okay. Sorry.

Are you in the market?

No. Are you planning on selling anytime soon?

No. Do you want to come to dinner with me later?

No. Do you always say no to everything?

No.

I know a great spot. Full of Christmas spirit, holiday cheer, and the best

cocktail selection.

If you want to have a good time.

I'm not going out with you. I don't even know you.

And I don't want to get to know you.

So, bye.

Bye.

Don't worry, I won't press charges for the whole breaking and entering thing.

Our secret.

I'm sorry, honey.

Have a cookie. You know what? Go nuts up, too.

If they can't handle you speaking your mind, they're not the sort of company

want to work for anyway.

Pop Radix is the biggest music streamer in the world. Running their events was

my literal dream job.

The great thing about jobs is there's lots of them out there. You can always

find another one.

Yeah, it's not just the job, though. I'm starting to worry I have an actual

problem. I mean, when did honesty become such a bad thing? It's not.

Well, I got fired for being honest. I got broken up with for being honest.

I got hit on today by a random realtor for being honest and trying to stop

people from breaking into his house.

It's like people would rather talk around the truth.

Who has time for that? It's exhausting.

I know you've had a rough one.

Tomorrow's another day, right?

And I'm as dead as this bulb. I'm turning in.

Apartment renovation takes its toll.

Sleep well, sweetheart.

Night, guys.

Don't stay up too late, dear.

I wish people would just say what they wanted.

Christina, can you check if there's a window open? There's a bit of a drought

stuff here.

Morning. Morning, love. Want some coffee? I want a homemade knit sweater

Christmas.

Okay.

I can do that.

Morning, Dad.

How'd you sleep?

Hey, hon. I'm on the job hunt for you. Would you consider a career in plumbing?

Oh, sweetie. I know it's stressful.

But you're amazing. You'll find something soon. I want... a subway pass

for Christmas.

Oh.

Okay, sure.

I want a pet hedgehog for Christmas.

I want a foot spa for Christmas.

I want a postcard.

I want a hat to make for Christmas.

Hey, I just came to pick up a few of my things.

You know, we are all on your side, Christina.

You know, I want... Oh, no.

A new job at Muse for Christmas.

Matt.

Miss Bauman.

Hello. Ma 'am, do you want me to get your espresso,

ma 'am?

Oh, you want a job at News?

Okay, well, would I want... Oh, for goodness sake.

And a little kiddie record player for Christmas.

What is happening?

What is happening?

Okay.

This isn't good at all. What are you doing here?

I just came into the office to grab the rest of my stuff. Oh, I know yesterday

was difficult.

But I want... We do pretty pajamas for Christmas.

I'm not sure where you'll find those in your size, but... I love pajamas.

You need to go now.

Go on.

Okay, so I saw the ornament, and I was feeling the moment, and I thought, hey,

why not make a wish? And so I did, and I think it came true.

Just not in the way you thought it would. Exactly. I wish people would say

they wanted for Christmas, but now everyone I meet suddenly feels compelled

tell me what they want for Christmas. Like what gift they want.

Do you think I'm crazy?

Am I crazy?

Of course not, honey.

Okay. Oh, I moved the stockings over by the fireplace. I hope that's all right.

Just like we have them at home. Mom, Mom, I don't think you're understanding

what I'm saying.

I think I've been chosen.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I've just never heard anything like this before. I want a homemade knit sweater

for Christmas.

My gosh. My gosh, indeed.

I want a homemade knit sweater with blue stitching.

That's crazy.

That is remarkable.

I know.

use this though, right?

What am I supposed to do? Start handing out presents to everyone I meet?

Is this what it feels like to be Santa?

What someone wants for Christmas says a lot more about them than the gift

itself. You said your CEO wants a record player? A little kiddie record player.

Why do you think she wants that?

Her speaker book?

Hmm.

You realize you don't work here anymore?

Yeah. I know what Bauman really wants.

Well, that makes one of us. She wants to bring back old Christmas hits. She just

doesn't know it yet. That's what the little kitty record player means. It's

she grew up listening to music.

Christina, you realize that Bauman didn't choose Turnley because of her

abilities. Oh, yeah, yeah.

She's a star.

She's buzzy.

Buzzy is how you raise money. Okay, but buzzy can mean a lot of things. Like?

Dan Coprin.

One hit wonder, Dan Coprin.

Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. But go with me, okay? What if we got him to do a re

-release of Sincerely Christmas?

A, there is no we because you don't work here anymore.

B, Copen fell off the map years ago. Right, right, right. But if the point of

the fundraiser is to raise as much money as possible, what's more likely to

break the internet?

Go with me here, okay?

A pop star who's always in the news or, dang, Copen's comeback, the man who

wrote the greatest Christmas song of a generation.

You know what it is. Do you realize how much groveling I had to do after your

outburst with Turnley?

We're lucky to have her.

Plus, Coprin is impossible to get to. No, no, no, not impossible.

And what does that mean? It means, hypothetically, if I found Coprin and I

him on board, and we re -released Sincerely Christmas for the

Hypothetically. Would you give me my job back?

Ellie, Ellie, come on. It would be the biggest music story of the year.

Bauman is not happy with you, Christina.

But if you somehow managed to bring Copern out of retirement and it led to

type of engagement that we're talking about, hypothetically, yeah, Obama would

have no choice but to bring you back.

Yes, he would.

Deck the halls indeed.

And what did I tell you? Patience pays off.

I can't believe it. R &M Realty is going bi -coastal.

Hello?

Dreams do come true, Pete.

As long as you've got the right business partner.

Dad, tell Uncle Pete to get back to work. I need you in here pronto.

That kid's going to come back East five years from now with a tan, a surfboard,

and a flock of women.

Oh, don't I know it.

He better not be building the roof without me.

I bet he's excited for the move.

California.

Robert?

I, um... I haven't had the chance to tell him yet.

Dad!

I'll call you later.

Coming!

You know what? This isn't looking half... This

isn't looking half bad.

I'm what they call a natural.

Modest. Ew.

Modest is overrated.

Who raised you?

Huh? Okay, so, the countdown is on.

Two weeks until Christmas. Question.

What do you want for Christmas this year?

Up to you. Your call.

Why don't you worry about attaching the door for now?

Jeez.

Try and make it even this time. Why don't you get to be the exact same? I

it. Me too.

Now, what's a doormaster at work?

I need a referral to Dan Copeland.

Well, well, well.

Returning to the scene of the crime. Did you bring your power tools this time? I

hear they're safe.

Upstairs.

I don't think I ever introduced myself.

My name's Christina. Hi. Hi.

Robert Rowley. Cookie?

Faked it myself.

Uh... Fought it myself?

So, you said you knew Dan Copeland?

The singer?

Sincerely, Christmas?

Here's the thing.

Real estate agents, we're positive thinkers.

Okay? Right.

While someone like you might see a small house with low ceilings, I see cozy, I

see cottage, and I see potential.

Robert, do you know Dan or not? My point is, when I said Dan and I

did business together, be right with you, what I meant to say was, a

friend's sister's best friend did business with him.

And by him, I mean Dan's manager. She did get me an autograph, though.

I got fired yesterday.

Okay? Ouch. What happened?

Creative differences.

What happened was I gave my boss my honest opinion.

There it is. You want to know my secret?

Why I've never been fired from a job?

You work for yourself.

Yes, I am.

You smile.

You nod.

And you tell people exactly what they want to hear. Okay, well, the only way

getting my job back is by getting to Cobran. So what I'd like to hear is, can

you help me do that? Well, if it were me, I'd tell my boss I want talking

for Christmas.

Why did I just tell you that?

Hold up.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

What just happened?

You wouldn't believe me if I told you.

Try me.

Okay. I made a Christmas wish. It came true.

Now everyone I meet is to tell me what they want for Christmas.

They have to tell you what... Okay.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Hey, Pete, you gotta hear this.

New logos came.

Needs your input.

I want... Dance lessons for Christmas.

I'll get right on it.

Wait up.

Wait up.

Hey, hi, hi. How did you get him to say that?

Do you pay him?

Do you pay Pete?

Try and tell me you want something else for Christmas.

Okay, for Christmas this year, come with me for drinks at La Mexicana. A little

dancing, a couple margaritas. You have to start the sentence with, I want.

Come on, just say, I want... Humor me.

Okay, Christina, I want... A stocking for Christmas.

Uh, it's a stocking again, yeah.

I want... A stocking for Christmas.

I want...

I want a stocking by the tree.

No! I want a sto -o -o -o -ck!

I want a stocking by the tree. No! I want a sto -o -o -o -o -ck! I want a

stocking by the tree. No! I want a sto -o -o -o -o -ck! I want a stocking by

tree. No! I want a sto -o -o -o -o -ck!

Let's say the Christmas spirit struck you with a lightning bolt -shaped candy

cane and granted you this weird and oddly specific power. Say they did.

Surely.

They didn't intend for you to use this gift all for your lonesome.

Robert, why don't you just tell me what you'd like?

When the school ends next year, we're relocating to the West Coast, and I

haven't told my son yet. I have a son.

By the way, his name is Oliver.

So you're lying to your kid?

Are you a parent?

No.

Then I'm not sure you're the authority here on raising kids.

I just know if I had kids, I would tell them if we were moving across the

country. This is going to be our last Christmas in the city. I haven't told

yet because I don't want to ruin it.

So what can I do for you?

I need your help.

With? Making this the best Christmas of my kid's life.

How can I help with that? Well, I'm not exactly sure how to go about pulling

that off.

Ah. So you want me to meet him so he'll tell you what he wants for Christmas?

Yes, precisely. And in exchange, I'll help you track down Dan Copeland and get

your job back.

Hmm.

What's your connection to him again?

It's like a friend, sister, something.

A friend, sister, best friend. She did some interior design work for Copeland's

manager. That is a direct connection. Interior design makes me feel good.

It's a bit of a reach.

Who's reaching?

Goodbye. If I did agree to this little plan, how would we go about finding

Coprin, huh?

If there's anyone that knows where Coprin is, it's his manager.

The guy goes by the name Sandy Beaches. Just a guess, not the name on his birth

certificate. Apparently, Sandy's a real party guy.

He loves hanging out at this wine bar on the Lower East...

Right. There's a list.

We go up to him, explain what's going on.

Oh yeah, bouncers are very understanding.

He's a person, so are we.

If we're just direct with him and tell him. What we need is a cover story.

Okay.

I got it. Your name is Stephanie. You were here two nights ago for a

bachelorette. You realized you left your purse. Me, I'm your fiancé. My name is

Ralph. I love yachting and golf. I'm an all -around great guy. Hi. My name's

Christina Martino, and I'm not on the list. Hi, I'm Ralph.

How's it going?

Can't let you in if you're not on the list.

Listen, Jacko.

That's a great name, by the way. He's a great name. Yeah, you seem like a

reasonable guy.

That's the energy I'm getting from you, frankly.

Good night, too. Yeah.

Look, I know you got a job to do.

I get that. But I am meeting someone very, very important inside that bar.

And there are so many people who are depending on me, Jacko. And look, hear

out. I get it. I know you have protocols that you have to meet. I do understand

you'll be breaking the protocol.

Look, I'm going to be in and out of there in a flash. So what do you say

this once?

You know, just this once, all I really want is a... Here we go.

Big old bowl of my mother's spaghetti for Christmas.

Yum.

Yum. Next.

Where's your Christmas spirit, my man?

Um, excuse me. We're sneaking in through service

entrances now, really?

Oh, I'm sorry. Did you not notice that we're inside right now? Okay, there's a

right way of doing things, and there's a wrong way? You make things black and

white, and they're not.

You might not like to hear this, but the truth isn't always helpful.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That looks like a Sandy Beaches Disney.

Kind of, yeah.

So, what's the plan? The plan? You sit back, grab a drink, watch the spin

do his thing. Did you just come up with a nickname for yourself? I just thought

of it now.

You like it?

Honestly, no.

Ruth.

Sandy?

Sandy?

What are you doing here?

But this is so weird. I thought I recognized you. It's me. It's Ralph.

Remember we met on the beach? Listen, I wanted to pick your brain about

something. The beach.

I don't go to the beach.

You don't go to the beach?

No.

Sandy Beaches doesn't go to the beach?

He does not.

Get rid of this coin.

Sandy Beaches doesn't go to the beach. You should change your name, man.

Very confusing.

I'm going to go get a drink.

Hello.

Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas to you.

What are you drinking?

I want a tour of my old neighborhood for Christmas.

Oh, yeah?

Sorry. I don't know why I just told you that.

Okay. Where are you from?

The Bronx.

Oh, yeah? Yeah. Cool.

You're from the Bronx?

Yeah. My mother's from the Bronx. My mother's from the Bronx. Your mother and

your mother. Yeah. This is sort of fate, in my opinion.

I guess so.

Hope you're having fun in there.

Why are you smiling?

What? You got a date or something?

A date with Dan Cochran.

What? Look at those numbers. Danny gave it to me. You're kidding.

We have a lead.

We have a lead. Well, give me the details. How did you get it? What did

What did you say to him? I told him we needed to tell. You know, some people

appreciate the truth.

You're going to rub this in my face right now, aren't you? Well, I have to

I really appreciated watching the sin doctor do his thing. All right.

Okay. No, I really did.

All right. It's true. You have a way with words. It's captivating stuff. Too

you're not enjoying this right now. Well, it might have to do with you being

such a positive thinker, actually. That's me.

Hi. Mr. Copran, hi.

My name is... You've reached Dan Copran. Please leave a message.

Hi, Mr. Copran. My name is Christina Martino, and I worked at Popper Attic.

Popper Attic's annual Christmas fundraiser is coming up, and I would

talk to you a bit more about it, so...

Please give me a call back when you have a sec. Thanks. Bye.

Hey, what's that smell?

Would you believe your mother bought you a pet?

Seven, in fact.

It's out by the fish market, getting prepped for our annual Feast of Seven

Fishes. Oh.

Yeah, Joan, I'm not sure cooking fish in a small apartment will actually endear

Christina to her neighbors.

Why don't we mix it up this Christmas Eve and go out for dinner?

All right? See the sights.

But... We always do the Feast of Seven Fishes.

That we do.

Hey, buddy.

I've got a, uh, a client.

I've got a client stopping by.

Cool. Cool.

Cool. Cool, cool.

Just wanted to give you a heads up.

She left something with the open house.

I told her to meet me there, but our place is closer.

Okay. Okay. Great. Cool.

Cool, cool, cool.

That must be her.

Christina, hello.

Come on in.

Hey, remember, remember, just play it cool, all right? I'm cool.

Yeah, yeah.

I'm cool. I'm super cool.

Yeah, I can see that. Hey, Oliver.

This is Christina. Christina Oliver.

Hi.

So, Ollie, do you want some lunch?

Sure. Great. What do you want to eat?

I don't know.

Just give me your best guess.

I want the sandcastles for Christmas.

Gotcha. Great.

Just give me a sec while I help Christina.

I've got your sweater over there by the couch. So come and I'll give you your

sweater. One sec.

Sandcastle. The kid wanted to build Sandcastle. Hey, that's perfect. They're

moving to a beach town. He doesn't know that.

Maybe it's a sign you should tell him.

I mean, what happened to kids in...

Consoles. Why doesn't he just want a new video game or something?

Cute stockings.

You know, what someone wants for Christmas means a lot more than the gift

itself. So, Sandy wanted to visit his old neighborhood because he missed his

childhood friends.

My boss wants a record player because she doesn't like what new music we're

turning into.

So... What? What are you telling me? My kid secretly wants a tan?

Maybe. Honestly, I don't know yet. But if we spend more time with him...

We can figure it out.

What do you have in mind?

So, back when I was your age, my dad and I used to spend all of December making

Christmas crafts.

And snow globes were my favorite.

And next we take the mason jar, all right?

Right. Who are you again?

Hey, respect, please.

Christina's my client.

I got that part. I mean, what are you doing here?

Oliver. Go ahead.

Hey, those are really great headphones.

FT300? How did you know that? My company gave up the 250s for Christmas last

year. But I hear the 300s are a revelation.

Where do you work?

Paparatic. Well, I eat, too. I'm on paparatic all day.

Well, that's true.

Okay, final step here.

You watching, everybody?

Very crucial moment.

First, you put in the water.

We're talking a generous amount, okay?

Yes. That feels masterful, I think.

Now, a little bit of glycerin.

A little bit. You don't want to be heavy -handed here, okay? Just a little will

do.

Perfect.

Just a little?

I know you're feeling skeptical, and I don't blame you.

Okay?

Whatever sparkles speak to you, you go big.

And I'm just going really loud with the sparkles.

Okay?

You got to get this nice and tight or else that might be upset. Everything

spill.

And you got to shake.

Would you look at that?

Wow. It works.

If you want to check out 300, you can.

I would love to, Oliver.

Let me go get my phone. One sec.

Thanks.

You're so cute.

I take full credit for that.

But Cobran still hasn't called back.

I figured.

So, I took it upon myself.

Is this what I think it is?

His address.

Used an old realtor trick. Reverse searching the phone number gives you

records. Well done.

Why, thank you.

All right.

Thank you.

Here we go.

Okay, these are very loud. Loud for us, too.

The boat is incredible, right? Yeah.

Oh, these pull the 250s out of the water.

Dad, you never made lunch.

You're right. My apologies.

Christina, are you hungry? Always.

I'm pretty sure we have some salami. I can make some sandwiches.

You like ketchup or anything?

Yeah.

I want a garden rink and tomato seeds for Christmas.

Okay. Okay. Cool.

Garden rape and tomato seeds. I mean, what does that mean?

I don't know yet.

Okay, this is it. 61 Trees Deal Draw with Dan Cochran's house. What, he wants

plant tomatoes in the dead of winter? It's not so cold.

You have two stockings on your mantle.

True. For Christmas, you wished for a stocking, but you already have two

up. Okay.

So, why do you want another one?

My toes get cold. Are you ready to watch a master at his craft?

Can I help you?

Hi. My name is Ernest. I'm Daniel's second cousin. I'm sure he's mentioned

This is my wife, Hilga. She's very shy, very quiet, doesn't speak very much.

Listen, we're having a bit of a family emergency.

Oh, no.

Oh, yes. I haven't spoken to Daniel in, gosh, a few years now. His number wasn't

working, and I would never...

show up like this on and out trust me but i'm afraid to say this is fairly

urgent and i need to speak with him right away okay i'm sorry for him we

need five minutes of mr copeland's time hi my name is christina hilga christina

hilga it's her full name i left mr copeland a voicemail and oh if you would

you would just let him know that we why did you do that she was about to let us

inside no she wasn't yes she was and if she'd let us in and we spoke to dan And

we raised all this money for your charity. Would you still feel bad about

Hey, kiddo. Hi. Your mom's out grabbing dinner. I hope you're hungry.

It's our annual pre -Christmas roast dinner.

So, Dad.

You know how much I appreciate your help, right?

I just don't want you to spend your entire vacation fixing up my apartment.

I'm just saving myself some hassle down the road because I know I'm going to get

that call. Dad, my cupboard door fell off. What am I going to do? How am I

to fix this?

Yeah, that's how I sound. So, I have been thinking about your Christmas gift

request.

You said you wanted a subway pass, right?

Yeah. Yeah, maybe it's because you want to go out and explore.

Absolutely. I mean, how often are the three of us in the city together?

I'd love to venture out, take advantage.

Okay, so what are we doing inside?

I also know how important holiday traditions are to your mother.

I always have been. Just having Christmas here instead of at home was a

deal. I don't want to stress her out, you know? Yeah, I get that. But Mom

to make this trip fun for you, just like you do for her.

What's fun for me is when the women I love...

Are happy. Oh, very smart man.

So have you spoken to Copern yet?

Christmas is in four days.

We're getting there. It's a work in progress, but... Word got out to

people that we're looking for a replacement.

She dropped out, Christina.

It's okay. It's okay. I'm going to get Copra.

Well, you better, because right now, I have studio time and distribution paid

for and no songs slated for production.

Do you know that this year, I convinced leadership to partner with the Big Apple

Kids Foundation?

All proceeds from our fundraiser go to their adoption agency.

And it's such a wonderful organization, Christina.

The footie pajamas.

What was that?

Have you been trying to adopt?

Listen, you only get one family in this life.

and i've chosen paparatic i don't know about that i think you'd make a great

ellie well thank you but this isn't about me christina it's about all those

who haven't found a home yet remember that

rumor

has it they have the best tomato seeds on the east coast here not sure you can

plant them yet but uh Never too early to get a head start, right?

Yeah. All right.

What?

Christina?

My client from the other day? What are you doing here?

This is kind of wild. This is nuts. What's even crazier? I'm actually here

getting Christmas decorations. Right. Can you believe that?

What are the odds, right?

Very small, actually.

I mean, you're here already.

I don't know. You want to join us? If that's all right with you, pal. If

all right with me, then that's all right with me, too.

This is going to be great. This is going to be so fun.

Let's rock. Let's do it. Let's find ourselves a tree. Let's do it.

What kind of tree are you thinking, man? Yeah, what sort of sizing?

Is it like a mid -range tree?

No, no, no. I don't know. A mid -range.

The biggest one we find, right? Biggest one, yeah. And you're feeling, is it

like dark green? You know, we want to get sort of a showy green. Like a humble

green. Yeah.

Yeah, thank you.

Do you think he bought it?

Nope, not at all.

I've never been out to a Christmas tree farm before.

The most holiday spirit per square mile anywhere in the world, guaranteed.

It's beautiful.

So, Oliver's Christmas wish, how do we figure out what it means?

Well, we could always ask him.

Hey, Oliver.

I don't.

Hey. Hey, buddy. I didn't know you were into gardening.

I'm not really.

You know what I'm into?

Music journalism. I did not know that.

I'm going to write for Rolling Stone one day. Wow, you must be a pretty good

writer then.

I am, yeah.

Takes after his old man.

My dad's an awful writer.

Awful's a kind of a strong word. He doesn't even know how to spell

What? What the doofus?

I mean, come on.

What even is frankincense?

Like a gourmet sausage?

Hey, I'm going to go get us some hot chocolates.

I'm learning so much about you today.

You're a music critic, a great speller.

Also very handsome.

Oh, and you're also your dad's son, that's for sure. I know you didn't

accidentally bump into us here.

Be honest with me. What's going on?

My dad's been acting weird the past couple weeks.

What's he not telling me?

Honey, I... You know, your dad, he's just doing the

best he can, and he wants you to have a great Christmas.

I know. He told me.

Here we go.

Thank you. For you, for you.

Thanks, Dad. But mine needs some marshmallows.

It's a good call.

I lied to him because of you.

He asked me what was going on, and I pretended like I didn't know.

You're 13.

You're not supposed to tell 13 -year -olds what's going on.

You know, protecting their innocence and all that.

Well, you're going to have to tell them about the move at some point.

Hey, buddy.

Hi. Buddy, my buddy.

What do you want to do later? Up for a movie?

I want to visit the Renegade Arcade for Christmas.

Of course you do.

Shall we?

Breathe the cold? Yeah.

The

Renegade

Arcade closed three years ago. I don't know what to do here, man. He wants

Sandcastle, tomatoes, arcades. What does it mean?

Here's what you do.

Bring a Game Boy to the beach and pack him a tomato sandwich.

Cover all your bases.

I'm guessing you haven't told him about Los Angeles yet. Why does everyone keep

bringing this up? Who's everyone?

No, I haven't told him yet, okay?

I'm waiting for the right time.

You haven't second thought?

About what?

About moving out west?

We already signed the lease on the new office space. Yes, yes, I know. I was

there.

Hmm, someone's a little snippy this afternoon.

I'm sorry.

No, I'm not getting cold feet.

It's just... weighing on me.

Breaking the news.

That's tough, man. Oliver loves this city.

All of his friends are here. It's where he grew up. It's where all of his...

It's where all of his memories of his mom are.

I just have to find the right time to tell him.

That's all.

Yo, got a delivery here.

I don't believe Mr.

Cobran ordered anything.

Lady, I don't know who ordered them. I just know where we're supposed to

them. Okay?

Okay. You can set them down in here.

Hello?

Mr. Copran, my name's Christina Martino. I'm working on Popper Addict's

Christmas fundraiser. Who let you inside?

Julia!

Julia!

Hi.

Julia! Mr. Copran, I... Look, I got your voicemail. I'm not interested.

Julia!

I want new leather pants for Christmas.

Hey, don't you miss it?

Recording, putting out music?

Huh? Julia, please escort Ms. Martino outside.

Okay, but there's an entire generation that's never heard your music. Like, do

you know his songs? This generation wouldn't know good music if it hit them

the head.

Okay, but great songs are timeless.

Sincerely Christmas is a great song.

It is. It changed my life, Mr. Copeland. Seriously.

It made me think about being open with people in a completely different way.

Well, I appreciate that, but... Now what are you going to do with the rest of

your life, huh?

Enjoy the spoils, my dear.

See, I don't think you're content with that.

You want new leather pants for Christmas?

You know what I think that means? You want to go out and perform again.

Thank you, Julia.

I guess we're back to square one, huh?

I really thought I could get him.

Listen, while we're out here, I've got to run an errand.

Do you mind? Won't take long.

Why not?

Great.

I wonder if this errand will involve a snack.

You know, I just feel bad.

Ellie really put herself on the line for me.

What are we doing at the Christmas tree farm?

Nothing. I thought you said you had to run an errand.

Well, I saw how happy you were the other day.

We were close by.

And hot cocoa has been medically approved to cheer people up during

It's a known fact.

That's very nice, Robert.

Robert's such a formal name.

Does anyone ever call you Rob?

Are you changing my name now?

You don't mind, do you?

Hey, I appreciate you making the effort with Oliver.

I wish I could have done the same for you. He's a really sweet kid. It's been

fun.

Oh.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Rob?

It depends what you're thinking, Christy.

Oh, yeah.

It's going down.

Oh, it's on.

It's on.

Oh, this is just ringtone.

Thank you. This is eggnog bottle ring dust.

Eggnog bottle ring dust. Yeah.

That was impressive.

It's got to be this guy.

Oh, that's the one.

Shake it out. Yeah. I'm going to get ready. Just, like, press you. Oh!

Hmm.

Very good form out there. Oh, please. Thank you. Thank you so much. That's the

greatest game of eggnog ring toss I've ever seen in my entire life. Very kind.

I mean it.

It's Cobran.

It's Cobran?

Pick it up. Pick it up. Pick up the phone. Hello?

Sincerely, Christmas, we're going to do this my way. Is that understood?

Yeah, of course.

Yes, of course.

Christmas is in three days. Do we have enough time to do this?

Absolutely. Everything's already booked. The studio, engineers, distribution.

All we need is a new vocal track, and the studio will remix and master. Don't

make me regret this.

I won't.

He's in! He's what?

Christina. You came through.

I'm honestly so excited to see people's reactions to Copeland. They're going to

love him. Oh, especially after they hear the new arrangement.

What new arrangement?

You didn't think we were just going to be released sincerely Christmas as is,

did you?

Apostle is signed on to produce.

Wait, that's Turnley's producer.

Exactly.

We're going to popify Dan Copeland.

Contemporize him.

Ellie, I promised him we wouldn't mess with his arrangement.

No, we're not messing with it. We're making it trendy.

I'll be honest, I don't feel comfortable with this.

I appreciate your honesty, Christina.

But that's what Bauman wants.

Our job is to do what Bauman wants.

Right?

Right.

She thinks Dan is going to go for this. She clearly doesn't know him. The second

Dan Coburn hears the word Popify... Well, then don't use that word. Ever.

What do I tell him? You sign this and we have the right to auto -tune your

voice? Add a thumping bass? Look, we don't know how Copran's going to react

the production. We don't.

But we're never going to find out unless we get him to sign this.

How do I do that?

You know.

Go.

Maybe once he hears the new version, he'll end up loving it.

Maybe.

I have to admit that I'm a bit nervous.

Jitters are good, Mr. Copran.

Oh, please call me Dan.

I'm not that old.

Jitters mean you still care.

Everybody's going to take one look at me. We're all going to have the same

reaction. What the heck happened to Copran?

Come on.

Dan, you're like the most interesting man alive. You've got a great head of

hair. You're a beautiful voice. You are so tall.

The ladies are going to take one look at you behind that piano.

And it's game over.

And even more the point, think about how fulfilling it'll be to put out new

music again.

How long's it been?

Do you know

why I quit this business?

I'm sure the grind was exhausting.

I love to travel, love meeting new people.

What I hated was being lied to.

The executive was telling me exactly what I wanted to hear.

I was tired of everybody, everybody wanting something from me.

All we want is to raise as much money as possible. That's it.

Look, I need to know that I can trust you.

You can.

That's amazing.

Dan Cochran out of retirement because of my daughter.

Your dad used to love Cochran. Did you know that? Yeah, no, I know.

I know. It's great news.

Just kind of worried what's going to happen when he hears the new

I'm sure whatever you do, he'll love.

Don't forget, we have to make extra. I promised cookies for Robert and Oliver.

You've been spending a lot of time with this Robert.

Yeah, I know. I told you.

He's been helping me with the Cochran stuff.

He's such a great father. He really is. And he loves Oliver so much.

And he tries not to flaunt it, but he is so caring and thoughtful.

Sounds lovely.

Well, he's also got a strange relationship with the truth. So, he's a

What do you expect?

Hey, what do you think about getting out tonight?

You're in New York and I feel like you haven't seen any of it.

Lincoln Square, Broadway.

We can go shopping on Fifth Avenue. I don't know. There's still so much we

haven't done yet.

I know, but there's still... What if tonight we make eggnog? I think we have

the ingredients.

I love eggnog night, Mom. I live for eggnog night.

But I also live in New York, and you guys don't. No.

I know.

New York's your home now.

I didn't mean it like that.

I'm just remembering the Christmases from when you were little.

How magical they were.

Yeah.

Come on, let's whisk.

Big night tonight.

Cheryl and I, we're taking a cooking class.

Who are you and what have you done with my best friend?

What can I say? I'm becoming a cultured man.

Is that what married life does to you? That's what Cheryl does to me.

What do you got going on later?

Well, I mean, I don't want to one -up you or anything, but tonight is

card night.

I want to be that guy, but, you know, by the time those cards are delivered...

It'll be just in time for New Year's.

It's a thought that counts. I realize Ollie and I haven't sent out a Christmas

card in ages. Figured it was time to break the streak.

Christina's going to be our photographer.

Oh. What?

I didn't say anything?

Yes, you did.

I just haven't seen you talk about a woman this much since Beth.

You're just helping us out. That's all.

You just need a lot of help, then.

Great.

Now...

She's wonderful.

With Ollie, she's so good with him.

I haven't seen him open up like that to anyone.

So?

Ask her out.

I did.

Twice. What did they say about three times again? Pete, I'm moving across the

country, man.

What are you still doing standing here?

Go! Shower! Fix your hair!

If you don't fix your hair for this Christmas card, it doesn't matter how

you move. If Cheryl finds you... She's going to give you an earful. Get out of

here. I'm going.

Okay.

It's Christmas. Remember, Christmas equals happy.

Happy.

There it is. How much longer are we going to have to be so happy? My jaw is

really sore.

It's starting to hurt. Wait, did you comb your hair?

Well, hang on one sec.

I thought it looked good.

It's good. It's better now? Good now, yes, it's better.

So, you with me? You are Santa.

Climbing down the chimney, go.

Sorry, we're what now? We're role -playing?

This was your idea.

Ho, ho, ho.

A little louder for the folks in the back, please.

Ho, ho, ho.

Merry Christmas.

Can I see that?

Oh, yeah.

Okay, please tell me how I'm doing.

I just think you could be giving me a little bit more. More? You want less?

definitely a few notches. No, you want notches more.

Okay. You've just come back from a long sleigh ride.

Oh. Okay, so what's the direction here? We're very cold?

You're having fun.

Okay, wow.

He's a natural.

You know where you got the difference?

Really? No, I'm really acting. Every picture I take is fuzzy.

Okay. So it was cold, I think. We're cold and happy.

Go ahead and happy to be cold. Yeah.

Okay.

Now you're caroling through the streets of New York.

One, two, three, four.

Make sure

you got enough

options there.

429 pictures. I don't know. Maybe we should have taken a few more.

Thank you.

for this you're welcome you should get

going yeah probably dad you want to choose a picture yeah yeah

yeah let's do it okay have a good night everyone have a great night everyone bye

-bye bye hey good night bye -bye bye

So, if we're sending out Christmas cards, we're going to have to write a

something on them.

Okay.

What sort of something?

Something... Something about our year. The highs, the lows, all

that good stuff.

Okay.

Okay, I'll go first.

I... I love...

Getting to coach your basketball team. That was a lot of fun.

Yeah, you didn't come to after breakfast.

Well, I mean, sometimes I had to work.

What about that Paul Taylor concert, huh?

Huh? That we went to on your birthday? That was awesome.

Yeah.

What?

You were on your phone half the time.

Oh.

Yeah, that was the weekend I was closing the Friedman house.

You want to know my favorite time of the year?

Halloween. When we dressed up. Left and right bicep.

No. It's the last two weeks.

They are everywhere because during Christmas you actually spend time with

I know what's going to happen.

The new year is going to start.

And you're going to forget about me.

Like you already do.

Holly, I... I'm so sorry. I didn't know you felt like that.

I'll work on it, okay?

I'm going to work on it.

I'm gonna be better, okay? I promise.

Hey, Oliver?

Hi, Christina.

Hi!

Hi, this is a nice little surprise.

You know, no one ever calls me anymore. It's really just... Text, text, text.

Or, you know, worse, email.

Tough.

So, what's new?

Why don't you fill me in? What's the latest?

I'm kind of mad at my dad right now.

Oh, honey, I'm really sorry to hear that.

Well, you know it's your dad who hasn't been, right?

But Christmas is coming up, and I still haven't gotten him a present.

What someone wants for Christmas means a lot more than the gift itself.

So?

My dear Oliver, what do you think it is that your dad really wants?

I'm not talking about presents.

I think I have an idea.

I'm only glad to hear that.

Don't tell my dad I called, okay?

No.

I won't. You have my word.

Thanks, Christina.

Yeah, no problem.

I'll talk to you later.

Bye.

Dan is recording as we speak.

Are you all right?

I figured it out. What?

Oliver's Christmas wishes.

Okay, well, talk about perfect timing.

Whenever we drive down to Florida to see my parents, me and Ollie would spend

hours on the beach building fortresses, moats, bridges,

sandcastles. Sounds nice.

My wife loves gardening.

Tough thing to do in the city, but I found us.

Community gardens.

When Oliver was six, we were driving.

It was pouring rain outside, so we pulled over, and across the street,

this old arcade.

A renegade arcade.

We spent the entire afternoon there, playing air hockey.

I'm not sure I'm following.

Oliver doesn't want stuff for Christmas.

He just... All he wants is to spend more time with his dad.

Like he used to.

Hey.

Don't beat yourself up.

It's hard juggling everything you have on your plate.

I've always wanted to give Oliver the kind of life that I never had growing

That means I have to work.

Well, he's a smart kid. He knows that.

Sometimes I think about how much better things would be if we had someone else

in our lives. Someone to share things with. Someone to make big decisions

Someone that loves him like I do.

That's your Christmas wish.

The third time.

So what's your deal?

Dating what?

What's my deal?

Well, I haven't always been the most amenable

girlfriend.

And as you've pointed out quite a few times now, I can be a bit stubborn.

You? Never.

Hey, I'm working on it.

How's that going?

You tell me.

Don't you miss being with someone?

Who doesn't?

Well, if I'd never met you, I would have never listened to Sincerely Christmas.

That was in time. You're the one who can't stop playing it now. It's the kind

song I've ever heard in my entire life. If I'd never met you, the holidays...

Wouldn't have been nearly this eventful.

Very true. If I'd never met you.

What? I've known you, what, two weeks?

Well, when I look at you now, I can't remember a time when I didn't know you.

I should go to a walk -in clinic.

No, no, no. No? Not you.

Everything right.

I get under people's skin. Oh, I see. Yeah. Yeah. I kind of burrow.

Mm -hmm.

Yeah.

Yeah, you do.

You do.

Don't you?

Hey, buddy.

How'd you sleep?

Ollie?

What you doing?

What is this?

Listen, why don't we have some breakfast? Are we moving?

Okay,

Pete and I have been working on... When?

June.

After your school year ends.

So this is why you've been acting so weird.

I just wanted us to have a nice Christmas together before... Before we

across the country?

Ollie, I... I didn't want you to find out this way.

And I guess that I'm gonna say in this, right?

Got it.

It's beautiful.

Oh, how was the session? Getting back in the studio must have been so amazing.

Dan?

You gave me your word.

Dan? You looked me straight in the eye and you said they wouldn't mess with my

music. It's just a rough cut.

That? That's not my song.

My boss wants to expand your reach.

So you knew about this all along?

She thinks it's the best way to get you into the ears of a wider demographic.

And who knows? Maybe she's right. Maybe modernizing Dan Coburn isn't such a bad

thing. Would you just please stop?

Stop skirting around whatever it is you're trying to say. I can't stand

Your boss wants this?

The audience wants that?

What do you think, Christina?

I think it's awful.

The only thing worse than having bad taste is knowing you don't and then

settling for mediocrity anyway.

I expected more from you.

I am not authorizing the release of that.

Damn. And if you or anyone at Poporatic has anything to say about that, you can

speak to my lawyer.

Hey, I got your text. I came as fast as I could.

What happened? What did he say?

He's pulling out.

He's burying the song.

Okay, why don't I go and talk to him? I knew that I shouldn't have listened to

you. Hey, I know it seems bad right now, but this kind of thing happens. No, you

said. Maybe if he hears the new arrangement, he'll be pleasantly

Okay, stupid. What are we going to do?

No, no, no.

We aren't doing anything.

I can't blame you, though. That's not fair.

I knew who you were all along. You were very clear.

You've always been a liar, and you're fine with that. It's really my fault for

listening to you. I've been honest with him.

First of all, I'm not a liar. Really?

Why don't you tell Oliver you're moving? See how he feels about that. He

actually found out himself this morning.

I'm so stupid. I left the tab open on my computer.

Oh, how do you think he reacted?

Well, you should have told him.

Thanks for that.

What I choose to tell or not tell my son, that's between us. That's a family

decision, and you are not part of our family.

I mean, you're right, I'm not.

Yeah, we got the offer last night.

My last listing.

That's great, Robert.

My work in New York is officially done.

I don't know what I'm doing.

Oliver's never going to forgive me for this. The kid's never going to trust me

again. Come on. The kid's 13.

I don't remember anything when I was 13.

I've ruined my relationship with my son.

I've ruined my relationship with Christina.

I don't know what I'm doing.

I should feel great.

R &M Realty?

We're bi -coastal.

It's amazing.

I mean, this is, what, 15 years in the making?

But you don't feel great.

This, you and me, I like to think that it's more than a business arrangement,

don't you?

Come on, of course.

What makes me happy is knowing that my friends are happy.

Move! Don't move!

We'll find a way to make the business work.

But you've got to do it right by your family.

Thank you, Pete.

You know what I love the most about Cheryl?

She makes you cultured.

Everything we do, we do as a team.

Because that's what family is.

A team.

We're going to hug right now. You know that?

Thanks.

Not a problem.

this year, I wish that I could go back two weeks and stop myself from ever

making that stupid Christmas wish so that I never got this stupid Christmas

power, which apparently only works for other people.

Honey, I'm fine.

You know what Copran said to me? He said he wished that I would stop skirting

around what I was trying to say.

I've become the problem. I messed everything up.

Your father had a chat with me this morning about wanting to take advantage

our time here.

And he did it because you urged him to.

And I feel so silly now.

Because I've spent so much time envisioning this trip, wanting

perfect.

But the truth is, the only Christmas tradition that matters is being with the

people I love.

That's what your Christmas wish means.

The knit sweater.

You and I used to spend every Christmas season knitting together.

I don't miss knitting, Christina.

I miss knitting with you.

We only get to see each other during the holidays now.

It's not enough.

So, let's make the rest of this week count.

What are we going to do with all that fish in my fridge?

Save it for New Year's.

I was being short -sighted.

You helped me do that.

Because you're smart and capable and honest.

Thanks. And I know whatever problems you're having right now, you're going to

figure them out.

Because you're a Martino.

And that's what Martinos do.

I love you. I love you.

Hey.

Can I sit?

Look at that. You took off your headphone.

How can I help you?

You have every reason to be upset with me.

I was wrong.

You and I are a team.

We make decisions together.

So...

If you're happy here, I'm happy here.

I love living in the city.

Okay, then.

What about your business?

I thought you were expanding.

If I build a real estate empire and I make a gazillion dollars, what the heck

I going to do with all of it?

All you want for Christmas is to hang out with your dad.

I know it's early, but Merry Christmas.

A stocking.

There's more.

Beaker. So you can listen to music with me.

Whose idea was this?

Part mine, part Christina.

Thank you.

I love you.

Thank you.

I appreciate you telling me.

I'll call leadership. I'll let them know about Coprin.

I'm so sorry, Ellie.

What's that?

Copran fan mail.

It leaked that we were working with him and the letters came flooding in.

Wait, so all that is for him?

No.

All that.

It was my fault.

Christina's the most honest person I've ever met. I was the person who told her

to lie.

And I know that you're upset with her, but you should really be upset with me.

Nobody forced her to do anything.

You're right.

She made a mistake, and she knows it.

But Dan, you know how much good the fundraiser will do.

People are counting on you.

What are you doing here?

I'll recuse myself from the fundraiser if you'd like. I just... I wanted you to

see this.

They're letters to you, Dan.

And there are three more boxes like it.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I lied, but you mean so much to so many people, and your songs mean

much to so many people, and I just wanted you to know that.

I'll do it.

What?

I'll re -release Sincerely Christmas, but this time, we're going to do it the

right way.

Cindy, hi.

It's Christina. Listen, I need a favor.

What's going on? Just one sec.

Dan's going to put out Sincerely Christmas.

What? How?

I thought he quit. Yeah, so did he.

Hi. Yeah, so we have a plan.

Yeah, the fourth camera should be handheld.

I think we need more than a Christmas tree and string lights up on that stage.

want people to feel the warmth through their screens.

Okay, yeah.

No, that's great. Thank you.

Have a good night. Bye.

Ho, ho, ho.

Merry Christmas Eve, everyone.

I guess he's out.

I'll see you tonight.

Bye, sweetheart.

Bye,

Dad. Sorry to wake you.

So if you could place those centerpieces, that would be great.

Thank you.

Merry Christmas Eve, Christina.

Merry Christmas Eve for all.

I've got to ask. The French?

Yeah, turns out I have a friend who knows the owner.

Sandy Beechin? Who doesn't like Beechin?

They're real toasty. Best when it comes to the holidays.

Listen, I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry. I crossed the line. You're the best thing that's happened to

Oliver in a long time. And not just to him, but to me too.

Working with you, or whatever we've been doing.

Christina? Yeah? I need you to clarify some things for me here. Right, yeah.

I've actually got a... No, go.

Do your thing. I'm good.

I'll be right here. I'll be leaning.

Okay. Bye.

See you there. I'll see you.

So instead of a release, we're going to do a concert and broadcast it around the

world so the live show is the album.

Where's Coprin's band?

Well, he doesn't have one.

Do you really think that people are going to tune into Dan Coprin's acoustic

set? You know, I have a feeling that they will.

Yeah.

I don't know if I've ever been this stressed out on Christmas Eve.

Well, I think that's why Santa created eggnog.

Where is he?

There he is.

Sam, what are you doing back here? It's almost showtime.

I can't do this.

Hey, you're going to be great.

You know, they're going to take one look at me and... Hey, don't do this for

them. This is for you.

This is what you love to do, right?

Yeah.

I thought you gave him the pep talk, man. Looks like he's about to faint.

He tried to sing. He's fine.

He didn't need to start singing.

We're live.

I wrote the song when I was 22 years old, and I was

living in a 200 -square -foot studio apartment at the time.

I wrote the song for a friend of mine who I was very much in love with, and

I just...

I didn't know how to tell her.

So Izzy, if you're watching, Merry Christmas.

Christina?

I think...

So,

darling, when you wake up in the morning,

finding out under your tree, hope you know that it's from me, sincerely,

Christmas.

So, dearie...

I think it's time for you to hear this.

You're the only one I see, and I love you truly, sincerely, Christmas.

It's that time of year to say the truth. It's only you. It's always

you. I'm not one to let my heart speak out, but I must sing now

as the snow falls down. So, darling,

When you wake up in the morning, I'll be waiting on one knee. From now on

it's you and me.

Sincerely, Christmas.

It's that time of year to say the truth.

It's only you. It's always you.

I'm not one to let my heart speak out, but I must sing now as the snow

falls down. So darling, when you wake up in the morning,

I'll be waiting on one knee from now on. It's you and me. So dearly,

Christmas.

And silly Christmas.

And silly Christmas.

My daughter's a rock star. That was unbelievable.

I'm so glad you guys came.

Us too.

Okay, let's get on out of here. Come on, come on.

Look at this.

What's wrong?

Is that the view count?

Wait until you see the social engagement.

He is breaking the internet.

I'm going to visit the adoption agency tomorrow.

Allie. Tonight was perfect.

But what good is this feeling if you don't have a family to share it with?

One last thing?

Thelma called.

What did she say?

I got my job back?

I'll be waiting on one knee from now on it's you and me.

Sincerely, Christmas.

Sincerely, Christmas.

I didn't know you could sing.

I didn't know you could sing. And yet, she pulled me up on stage in front of

millions of people.

And Oliver set up backstage.

Dan Copeland's first official interview in 25 years. I'm going to blink. The

kid's going to win a Pulitzer.

Congratulations about your job. You earned it. Thanks.

We have some news, too.

We're not moving.

What? What happened?

Well, I had a little chat with my guy.

And we decided we're East Coast men.

Oh.

I see.

Yeah.

Ooh. You know what that means.

Yeah. Midnight.

It's Christmas Day.

Well, I just want to say... Wait a sec.

I want... I want... I want...

Don't you get the rule?

Christmas wishes expire on Christmas Day.

You know, I always forget that part.

You know, even though my powers are gone, though, I have a feeling I still

what you want for Christmas. Really? Yeah. Really? What is that?

I think you want to ask me out again.

I don't know. Two rejections is tough. A third that can break a man.

That you believe in Christmas less?

Ah, well.

Let's roll the dice.

Okay.

Would you like to go dancing with me?

At La Mexicana sometime.

No.

I want to kiss you.

So darling, when you wake up in the morning, find

a note under the tree. Hope you know that it's from me.

Sincerely, Christmas.

Oh dear it, I think it's time for you to hear this.

You're the only one I see and I love you truly.

Sincerely, Christmas.

It's that time of year to say the truth. It's only you.

It's always you.

I'm not one to let my heart speak out, but I must sing now.
