So nice of everyone to agree
to celebrate Christmas early.

No one can say "no" to you, Willow.

Well, I'm not sure
that that's true,

but it has come to my attention

that a tin of Christmas cookies

can make all of the
difference when...

asking for a favor.

I'm already covering for you while
you're gone. What else do you need?

I need someone to water my plants.

Willow, you've got a lot of plants.

I was hoping you hadn't noticed,

but I'm gonna be
gone for four weeks,

and they need a lot of love.

It's very exciting that your
sister is getting married.

You're gonna have a busy holiday.

Yes. I think it's gonna be fun.

And hopefully it
takes my mind off

of getting transferred...

Again.

Every two years, like clockwork.

Any idea where they're
gonna send you this time?

I've heard we invested
in a ski resort in Colorado.

So that's my best guess.

There are worse places
to be transferred.

- Do you like to ski?
- I guess I'll find out.

About the plants...?

I want more cookies.
Two dozen.

Deal!

[chuckles]

- Merry Christmas.
- Thank you, Willow.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Juni!

Willow! You're here!

Of course I'm here!

My baby sister
is getting married.

Yeah, I am.

In four weeks, I'm gonna be...

- "Mrs. Austin Boyle."
- Mhm.

"Juni Boyle."

Mmmm.

"Juni Petersen-hyphen-Boyle."

You've been writing this in all
your notebooks, haven't you?

Of course.

Okay, so, wedding duty.
Put me to work.

Come on. Mom's waiting.

- Okay.
- Come here.

[both giggling]

Ah! Mom?

- Willow!
- Ah!

Oh!

Look how beautiful you are!

You too, Juni.

Oh, my goodness.

Everybody, look how
beautiful my daughter is.

This is the best Christmas present ever.

You're acting like I haven't
seen you in forever.

You were just in New York
a couple months ago.

Well, it's not the same
thing as having you home.

Always so busy.

She manages a big hotel in New York!

And before that,
it was Chicago

and before that, it was...

- Phoenix!
- Right.

And the assistant manager.

Meh!

You oversee everything.

I mean, it's the
second-most important job.

Manager/assistant manager,
tomato/to-mah-to.

I'm just so proud of you.

Thank you, mom.

So, how goes the wedding prep?

Snow.

I'm gonna need more information
than that, mom.

Too much of it
on the roof of the hall

where we were
going to get married.

They think it's gonna collapse
and they say

they can't do anything about it
until it melts.

What? When did this happen?

Last week.

Well, why didn't you call me?
I could've helped.

What, with the roof?

No, but I could've helped you
find another venue.

I just...
I didn't want to bother you.

And we've been looking,

but none of
the good places are available.

Although, we did find
a few possibilities

that were okay.

No. No. My sister's not
getting married in somewhere

that's just "okay."

well, it's better
than no place at all.

Listen, if you just give me
a little bit of time,

I'm sure I can find you
someplace spectacular.

Everyone I talked to said

all the spectacular places
are taken.

[quiet determination]:
Well... They say that now.

Uh-oh. I know that look.

[chuckles]

[Juni squeals]

[laughter]
I'm go glad you're here.

Right. Sure.

But are you sure

that there
isn't just a little bit

of wiggle room in that schedule?

No, I tried there,
they're booked solid.

Same as the other
dozen places that I've called.

Well, no, actually,

I work at a hotel also,
so I do understand.

[sighs] okay, well, please
call me if anything changes?

Great. Thank you. Bye.

[♪♪♪]

[footsteps]

Hey, mom.

Hi! You can help me
with the nativity scene.

We need 24 animals
in the barnyard.

Okay, listen, I have an idea
of where we could have...

Why 24?

Well, the coffee shop
up the street from the cafe

has a dozen
in their nativity scene

and I've always said
our diner is twice as good,

so... There you go.

Okay. It worries me

that you went there
and counted...

Look, I have an idea of where
Juni could get married.

Where?

Eagle ridge inn.

Oh...

Darling, they don't do weddings.

No, david lyndon owns it now,

and says there's no room
at the inn, so to speak.

David lyndon.
Isn't that the name...

Austin's best man?

Yes.

They work at the law firm
together.

David said he wanted to help,

but he said there's no space
for the ceremony.

And he is selling it, so.

Oh, he's selling it?

Austin said he's got a buyer
who's very interested.

Hmm. I just wish
there was some way

of having the wedding there.

I mean, it was such
a magical place to grow up.

It was a wonderful place
to raise you kids.

We loved owning the inn.

And it would make
Juni so happy...

[sighs, frustrated]

Yes, it would.

Yes, it would.

Grandma, I need more glitter

for Mrs. Jackson's
Christmas card.

It's very sweet

that you're making one
for a guest.

She's a teacher.

She helped me
with my math homework.

Oh. Well, then yes,

you definitely need
more glitter.

[both chuckling]

Mm! Good morning, mom.

- Good morning, sweetie.
- Morning.

Where is he?

In the reception area
with garrett.

Great. Wish me luck.

Wait! Dad?

You haven't found henry yet.

I looked everywhere.

I give up. Where'd you hide him?

I can't tell you that.

You have to find him.

That's how it works.

Right. You forgot where
you hid him, didn't you?

No!

Maybe.

But... [sighs]

It's still your job to find him.

You know what?
You're right, it is my job,

but it's also my job
not to be late for work.

Your job
is not to be late for school.

Okay, but...

You'll look for him
after work tonight, right?

You know what? We are gonna
look for him together.

[smooch]

You need more glitter.

Exactly!

Okay, you're sure you're okay
taking natalie to school?

Partners need to be punctual.

Prospective partners, mom.

All right. Natalie,
you have a good day at school.

Okay.

You have a good day at work.

I will. Thanks, sweetie.

Go get your backpack, please.

- Okay.
- All right.

And you, go close the deal.

Thanks, mom.

Okay...

[♪♪♪]

And the wiring
is in great shape.

They just replaced it
about three years ago.

Oh, that's good to hear.

Robert.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Ten-year-olds
are on their own timetable.

Say no more.

I had a few of those myself
a while back.

It's the best.

Has garrett been giving you
all the information you need?

Yes, he's been great.

So, does the purchase price
include the handyman?

We'll talk.

I'll leave you to it.

Okay. Thanks, garrett.

[robert sighs]

David, I gotta tell you,

this is a beautiful place
you have here.

Oh, thank you very much.

It's gonna be tough
to say goodbye.

Do you host events here?

Yeah, we do luncheons,
receptions.

Wedding receptions?

We don't do weddings.

We talked about
building a chapel,

but we just never really
got around to it.

We?

My late wife and I.

She had, uh, a lot of plans
for this place.

I'm sorry. I had no idea.

No, no, it's okay.

I never asked,

but why are you selling?

Well, I am about to become
partner at my law firm.

Hey! Congratulations.

Thank you very much.

Yeah, but, uh...

I'm already too busy
to pay as much attention

to the inn as it deserves,

and with some changes
coming up at my job,

I'm just gonna have
a lot of work to do,

so I think it's just...
It's time to let it go.

- Mm.
- But listen.

You feel free to look around,

and garrett will answer
any questions you need.

- All right. Thank you, david.
- Thank you!

- Okay.
- All right.

[♪♪♪]

Whew. Good morning, Mrs. Sachs.
How was your walk today?

Oh, beautiful, just beautiful.

Oh, there's nothing like
this blue ridge mountain air.

Oh, I know.

I only wish I could stay longer.

Well, you are always welcome.

Oh, I do hope
to come back someday.

It's special here.

Yeah.

It is.

[♪♪♪]

Hello?

Oh...

Hello.

Sorry. Can I help you?

I'm looking for david lyndon.

In the barn?

No, it's about what
I would like to do to his barn.

[laughs] I'm sorry.

But you...

Who are you?

[laughs] I skipped that part,
didn't I?

I'm sorry. I'm Willow petersen.

- Oh...
- I...

Actually grew up here.

Petersen.

Was your father hank?

You guys used
to own this place, right?

Yes, my father built the place.

And my sister, Juni...

Juni is getting married
to austin,

who is my best friend.

You're Juni's sister, Willow.
Okay.

It's all coming together now.
I get it. Um...

I just gotta say,

your family did
a fantastic job of this place.

Thank you, really.

It was a great place
for a kid to grow up.

Yes. Yes, indeed, indeed.

Sorry, you were saying

you wanted to do something
to my barn?

Yes, so, speaking
of Juni and austin,

you heard that they lost
their wedding venue.

- Right?
- Yes.

So I was just thinking that
they could get married here,

at eagle ridge.

Right. Yeah, no, actually,
we've had that conversation,

but unfortunately,

there's nowhere
to have the ceremony, so.

Oh, but there is.

The barn?

Yeah. I mean, look at this...
There's enough space.

With the right decor,
it would be absolutely gorgeous.

I guess you haven't heard
I'm actually selling the inn.

I did, but it's not sold yet.

No, but we do have
a prospective buyer

who's on the fence right now,
but it's looking pretty good.

But maybe he could just
wait a couple weeks

until after Christmas.

It's only a few weeks away.

Right. Four weeks to organize
an entire wedding,

get all the stuff, and plus,

the inn needs some work.

Which I would oversee, bec...

Did you know, I actually,
I work in hospitality,

and I do a lot of events
for my company's hotels.

And, when you think about it,

hosting a wedding here

would be kind of like
staging it for your sale.

- Huh.
- Mm.

The buyer
was asking about weddings.

Right? We can show him
the possibilities.

- We?
- Yes! Well, me.

I would do all of the work.

You wouldn't
have to do anything.

It's just the cost and the...

No, my family's paying
for everything

that has to do with the wedding.

Look, I would absolutely
love to help,

I mean, I'm austin's best man,

but I just, I don't really have
any time for this right now.

I'm very busy,

and I gotta go to work
right now.

Sure, but maybe...

- It was so nice...
- But...

To meet you, Willow.

You too! Or we could talk...

[sighs]

[words catch]

[shouts] do you like cookies?

Is this too low?

Who wants to get married
in a barn?

I mean, it's a barn.

Yeah, this is too low.

Someone's gonna run into this
and sue me...

It was just so out of the blue,
you know?

Which would be ironic.

Hey. You listening to me?

What?

I said... Whoa, that's too low.

Well, can you help me out then?

No, I can't,

because I am gonna go
dazzle the partners

with my brilliant legal mind.

Well, how are you gonna do that?

Mm, I guess, I'll say
"ergo" and "to wit" a lot,

'cause they love that stuff.

Shocking
you haven't made partner yet.

- Mm.
- Hey, hey.

- Ask about secret santa.
- What about it?

I sent in a proposal

to up the maximum gift price
to 30 bucks.

Right. How much was
that portable putting green

you wanted for your office?

Um, $29.99.

- Exactly.
- It's a coincidence.

Okay.

Listen.

You know that I would
host the ceremony

if I thought
I could make it work, right?

Yeah! Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Don't worry about it.

- Okay.
- We'll figure it out.

- We will, right?
- Yeah, yeah.

- Okay.
- All right.

[sighs] it is too low.

We are gonna need
a lot more jellybeans.

You have enough for that.

This is only the beginning.

This is the guest house, hon!

Oh, I see.

The coffee shop down the street
has a gingerbread house

and yours has to be
that much bigger and better?

I'm simply showing

that brogan's diner
is the place to be

for the true spirit
of Christmas.

[laughs]

Jun, you're kind of quiet.

I'm just thinking about
how special it would be

to get married at eagle ridge.

[sighs] I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have
even said anything.

You know, I tried.

He just wouldn't even
consider it.

Give the guy a break.

You know, it must be...
It must be tough for him.

What, selling the inn?

Needing to sell the inn

because you can't do it
by yourself anymore.

Not ever intending to do it
by yourself in the first place.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you're right.

I didn't think about it
that way.

How did you do it, mom?

You went right from the inn
to the restaurant,

and you raised two kids
while doing it.

Well... [chuckles]

You know what?

It's like a house.

You have a solid foundation,

you can make it
whatever you want.

Your dad and I made...

A pretty solid foundation.

[♪♪♪]

Mwah... Mwah.

- I love you.
- I love you.

[♪♪♪]

Hey, sweetie.

Henry wasn't
in the kitchen either.

But dad...

I know, I know,
but we've looked everywhere.

He's gonna turn up eventually,
I promise.

In the meantime,

you've got all
your stuffed animals right here.

But henry's my favorite.

Mom gave him to me.

I know.

And since this is our last
Christmas at the inn,

I'll need henry more than ever.

Right. So, we're gonna keep
looking for him tomorrow,

and we'll find him, I promise.

I still don't understand
why we have to move.

[sighing softly]

Well... It's like I've said.

My job's about to become
a lot bigger,

and I'm not gonna have as much
time to devote to the inn.

But grandma helps.

And garrett, too.

And I can do more.

Hey.

Remember last year,

when we donated some
of your toys to the church?

Yeah, they were ones

I didn't have time
to play with anymore.

Right.

But there are kids out there

that do have time
to play with toys,

and toys do need someone
to play with them, right?

Right.

Well, that's kind of
like the inn.

You know? It needs someone
to pay attention to it

in ways that I can't anymore.

Someone who can...

Love it, care for it,
like we have.

That's a lot of love.

That is a lot of love.

I'm gonna miss it here.

Yeah. Me too.

[chuckles softly]

Hey. Get some sleep.

[laughs]

Goodnight, dad.

Goodnight, sweetie.

Mwah! All right.

[♪♪♪]

[laughing]

Well, thanks for picking up
the tab for lunch, dad.

Oh, happy to.

You take us out all the time.

- Willow.
- Willow?

Hi.

Yeah, hey.

- Hello.
- Hey.

Uh, mom, dad,
this is Juni's sister.

- You're Willow!
- Yes.

Linda talks about you
all the time at the diner.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Oh, don't be silly.

Being proud of our kids
is part of our job.

Like this one is about
to become partner

at his law firm.

Yes, I heard. Congratulations.

Thank you, but, again,
I'm not partner yet,

and it's definitely
not gonna happen

if I take lunches this long,

so I should get back to work.

But it was great
to see you, Willow.

Actually, would you mind if
I walked with you a little ways?

No.

Great. Nice to meet you.

See you, guys.

- You too, Willow.
- Bye now.

So, uh...

About the wedding.

I do think that putting on
one big event

before you leave
could help you sell it, though.

I mean, really,
Christmas used to be spectacular

at eagle ridge.

We would go all out
with lights and decorations.

We used to have carriage rides.

Wow. Carriage rides?

Yes, you know, like a hay ride,

but without the snow.

It was the closest thing
that people could get

to a sleigh ride.

They used to love it.

What I mean is,

don't you want one last
spectacular Christmas there,

before you leave?

I mean,
I know that natalie would,

but I just, I gotta tell you,

I just don't have the time
to do anything.

Oh, I-I would do everything.

Everything.

I would do Christmas,
I would do the wedding.

I could even bring in a team

to do any repairs
that you could need.

I've actually got
a repairman, garrett,

he could actually
take care of all that.

Why is this so important to you?

My family built eagle ridge.

It's Juni's big day.

It's just very important to us.

I wouldn't have to do anything?

I would do absolutely
all of the work.

You wouldn't even
know that we are there.

And david...

You would be making a lot of
Christmas wishes come true.

I don't want to go too crazy.

Is that a yes?

To Christmas wishes...

To Christmas wishes.

[♪♪♪]

Okay, now, since the reception

will be spilling out
into this room,

I think it needs some attention.

What are you thinking?

Well, the floors could use
a good polish

and I think we need
a new coat of paint.

Sorry. You're... Painting?

Of course.

Oh. I just kind of thought
you were tidying up.

I mean, this room doesn't even
need to be painted, does it?

We're just sprucing it up
a little bit.

I'd keep it simple, I promise.
Let me show you some swatches.

Oh, you know what,
I just came home for lunch.

Five minutes, I promise.

Stop encouraging her.

- So...
- Okay.

Oh, hi!

I was hoping I was gonna run
into you before I left.

I literally
just walked in the door.

Oh, but I need to talk to you
about something important.

Christmas decorations.

I think we have plenty already.
Do we need more?

I think we need to talk about
adding more lights.

How many more?

Well, probably a strand or two.

Five at the most.

We also need to re-open
the discussion about paint.

Paint? But I...

So, here's what I'm thinking.

We put the altar down here.

Okay, no, that's great.

Austin and I will be there
in 30 minutes, max.

45 minutes, max.

Okay, can you just go ahead
and read it to me?

So do you really think

you can make this place
look good in time?

Oh, yeah, I mean,
it's mainly cosmetic.

It'll be a snap.

Great. So you won't mind
if we add a few things?

Oh, like what?

The wedding's two days
before Christmas,

so we want trees.

Trees, plural?

Yes. Like,
eight or nine of them.

Yeah, and lots of decorations.

Yes, and garlands
and wreaths and bows,

the whole nine yards.

Wait, I... Hold on one sec?

I... [stammers]

One tree is plenty. Did...

[footsteps]

[dejected sigh]

Hi. Did you lose something?

Uh, well, sort of.

I hid something
and now I can't find it.

Oh, uh, what is it?

Henry.

Who's henry?

My reindeer.

Oh.

He's my best friend.

Well, except for rona,
she's like my best real friend,

but henry is like
my best toy friend.

Right, and now you don't know
where he is?

Dad and I play hide-and-seek
with him.

It was my turn to hide him,

and I found
a really good spot, but...

Now I don't remember
where it was.

Okay, well, why don't you
just tell me what he looks like,

and I will
keep an eye out for him.

Okay, well, he's a reindeer...

Right.

About this big...

Natalie, I took a look again
upstairs, but I couldn't... oh.

Hi.

Hi. I didn't know
you were still here.

Well, I was on my way out,

but then I ran into
who I presume is natalie?

Yes, of course, natalie,
this is Willow.

She's the one
I was telling you about,

who's doing all the work
around the inn.

You're the Christmas lady!

The what?

You're the Christmas lady.

Dad said you're doing
all sorts of Christmas stuff

around the inn.

It's making him crazy.

[laughs, horrified]

Crazy... Excited.

Is it true

we're gonna have
a million Christmas trees?

Is it?

Uh, no. No.

Not a million,

but there will be a lot.

I'm actually going

to the Christmas tree lot
tonight.

Oh, dad! Can we go?

I want to pick out
a tree for us, too.

You know what?
We are going on the weekend.

But dad...

If Willow gets hers tonight
and we get ours later,

they won't match.

But they're all the same,
aren't they?

No, each tree is unique
and special in its own way.

Yeah, dad.

I mean...

Once you put on the lights
and decorations,

you won't even be able
to tell the difference.

I will.

Please, dad?

[sighs grudgingly]

Okay, I guess we're going
tree-shopping tonight.

Yay!

- Thank you, dad!
- [laughing] you're welcome.

- I'll go get my coat!
- Okay.

[natalie giggling]

[♪♪♪]

Ooh... This one.

And this one!

This one.

Ooh! This one's pretty, too.

You've liked
every tree in the lot.

That's because all of them
have been pretty great so far.

Yes.

I'm gonna go look
at the trees over there.

I'll tell you
if I find any good ones.

[Willow laughs]

Has she always been, uh,
this enthusiastic?

Yeah. It's... A lot sometimes.

I was actually the exact same
way when I was little.

Everything had to be
turned up to 11,

especially at Christmas.

So, not a lot has changed?

Look, I thought we agreed,

I just want to put on
a beautiful wedding

and have an excellent Christmas.

And I thought we agreed

that that's what was best
for everybody.

Right, no, I was just wondering
when we're gonna get to the part

where I don't have
to worry about anything?

Tomorrow. Friday at the latest.

I'm serious, Willow.

I can't keep getting
pulled away from work

to give your sister
her dream wedding...

Which apparently involves

every Christmas tree
in existence, for some reason.

It's not just about the wedding.

It's about getting your buyer
off the fence

and putting on
a spectacular event

that shows off

what a magical place
eagle ridge really is.

I hear you,
and I appreciate that,

I really do,

but the reason
I'm selling the inn

is because I need to focus on
becoming partner,

and that has to come first.

Look, all I'm saying is

you said you were gonna
take care of everything,

and that hasn't been the case.

You know what? You're right.

As of right now,

you're off the hook.

Thank you.

- Dad!
- Hey.

Come on, I need to show you
all the trees I picked out.

Tomorrow. Friday at the latest.

Sure. No, the payroll company
does all that.

Yeah, you just have to approve
the time sheets.

Thanks, tasha. Bye.

- I'm sorry...
- [robert gasps] oh!

- [robert laughing]
- I'm so sorry!

I just didn't
want to get in your picture.

Sorry, I was just daydreaming,
I guess.

That's okay.
I just hope it was a good dream.

It might be.

In fact, I was just imagining
what this place

might look like with
more Christmas decorations.

I'm thinking
about buying the place.

Oh!

Please, allow me. Picture this.

Sparking lights...

On the roof, around the windows,
the eaves,

garlands with bows,
of course, every five feet.

More wreaths,
and here, on the rocks,

light-up snowmen.

[laughs] you've really
thought this out.

I actually grew up here.

My family
used to own eagle ridge.

Really?

Yeah.

What was it like
growing up here?

I was just so lucky. You know?

Anyway, do you have children?

Two daughters,
but they're grown.

Grand kids or...?

Mm. Not yet.

Right, well, when you do,

they're gonna love it here.

Hmm.

I wish I could've
seen this place

the way it used to be.

Anyway, I'm so sorry
for being in the way.

Not at all. Stop, you're not.

- Robert.
- Willow.

- Nice to meet you.
- And you.

[both] take care.

[♪♪♪]

All right, so you got the file
for the harrison merger?

Yeah, yeah, I got it right here.

[grumbles] aw.

What? What's wrong?

Willow needs me
at the inn, again.

Okay, well,
don't worry about it.

I can cover this.

- You sure?
- Yeah, I'm good. Go.

All right. Thank you.
Go get 'em.

So, everything's on track?

Yes, it is.

Okay, because you do know

that Christmas and the wedding
are in three weeks.

Three and a half, more or less.

Okay, at the hotel,
where I work with spreadsheets,

there's no such thing
as "more or less"

in a spreadsheet, so...

Well, before I worked here,
I was a contractor,

and we specialize
in "more or less."

okay. Don't worry.

Everything will get done.

It's like Christmas.

You just gotta believe.

Willow, what's up?
I got your text.

- Hey. Okay.
- Hey.

Tell me what you see.

Is this a trick question?

No. Just look at the inn
and tell me...

Willow, I don't have
time for this.

Okay, fine,
I will tell you what I see.

Okay.

We need more Christmas.

I think we have
plenty of Christmas.

Nope. Not according
to your prospective buyer,

robert?

I ran into him, right here,

and he was just saying
that he wishes

he could see the inn done up,
full Christmas spectacular.

And you think
that'll convince him to buy it?

I think that he needs
a reason to believe

that the inn is special,

and he just
hasn't found one yet.

But, I mean, lights and garland
are temporary.

He can do whatever he wants
with the inn when he owns it.

Look, for whatever reason,

he's having
a hard time picturing it.

He needs to see it,
not just hear about it.

Okay. What do you have in mind?

Okay.

I didn't realize
how much I missed it here.

So you don't ever
come home for Christmas?

I just usually only get
a day or two off.

Between family and friends,
I haven't been making it down.

[sighing] I just love it.
Do you like it?

It's really nice.

It is a little bit sad, though,

that you have to sell the inn
in order to be partner.

Well, I've been
working toward it

since law school.

It's actually nice to finally
get back on track.

How so?

I had a plan.

You know?

Law school, pass the bar,

get married, have a kid,
and make partner.

But, sadly, things got derailed

when my wife died
a few years ago.

Right. I'm sorry.

What was her name?

Shelly.

The inn was really her passion.

I mean, don't get me wrong,

natalie and I
love it there, too,

but it's just...

Time to move on.

How did you deal with it when
you guys had to sell the inn?

Not very well.

I was 15.

It was right after
my dad passed and...

Yeah, finding out
we needed to sell eagle ridge

it was...
It was another huge loss.

I'm sorry, too.

I think it's part of why
I do what I do,

that I wanted to be
in the hotel industry.

I wanted to recapture some of
what I experienced as a kid,

you know,
share that with people.

Have you?

I try...

But it's different.

Yeah.

I get transferred around a lot,

I never truly feel
settled anywhere.

But I think that maybe when
I'm managing my own property,

it'll be different,

it'll feel
more fulfilling somehow.

Ah, someday, right?

Why not today?

'Cause today is scary.

Hey.

What about that wreath there,
for the barn door?

We'll take it.

Oh, I got it.

That's the spirit!

It's so cold out.

Wow!

Put on your gloves.
It's freezing.

Wow!

[all chuckling]

Well, what do you think?

I love it.

But I think we need
to give the snowmen names.

I think so, too.

Did you have anything in mind?

Hmm...

Prancer, comet,
donner, and blitzen.

Those are reindeer names.

They can be snowmen names, too.

That's a good point.

Don't they light up?

Yes, they do.

We are just waiting for garrett

to put the finishing touches
on the lights,

then we'll turn 'em on.

Is this what Christmas was like

when you were a kid
here, Willow?

Why, yes, it was actually
a lot like this.

The whole family would
get together and decorate.

We'd sing Christmas carols,
we'd drink hot chocolate.

It was... Mm.

Hot cocoa. I've got some made.

Oh!

Good. Let's go get it.

Do you miss it?

Having Christmas at the inn?

Well, yes, sometimes,

but, you know, I also, um,
kind of miss it in a good way.

You know?

My dad always used to say

that memories are the things
that we use

to wrap ourselves up in
to keep us warm at night.

And it's true.

Even today,
no matter where I am...

I always feel warm

thinking about all
the special nights I spent here.

Just like this one?

Well, yeah, just like this one.

[♪♪♪]

Hot chocolate.

Oh.

Oh, great!

Okay. I think we're ready.

Now, I patched everything
into a remote control,

so all you have to do
is hit the button.

Oh, great. Thanks, garrett.

All right.
Natalie, want to do the honors?

Ooh. Yes, please.

Ready? This button here.

Three... Two... One.

[♪♪♪]

- [all gushing]
- beautiful!

Wow!

Okay, wait, wait, wait.
There's more, there's more.

Turn around. Ready? And...

Now.

[♪♪♪]

[overlapping] oh!

Now, that's
what I call Christmas.

[♪♪♪]

It's looking pretty good
in here.

Yeah. I mean,
there's still a lot to do,

but I think we've made
remarkable progress in a week.

How many trees did you get?

Santa's village
is gonna be jealous.

Hey, can you switch out

those electrical outlets
I showed you?

- Yeah. Sure.
- Great.

Do you want to write it down?

I got it.

Garrett, we have a lot to do
and not a lot of time to do it.

Three weeks. More or less.

Right. I...

[muttering] henry...?

Where are you, henry?

Oh. Hey, mark. What's going on?

Oh, the hunt for henry
continues.

Yes, natalie's reindeer.

I heard. So no sightings, then?

Afraid not.

David's looking in the basement

and I think natalie is upstairs,
searching the utility room.

Well, I'm sure it'll turn up.

[mark sighs]

Any luck?

I found this old winter coat
I lost three years ago,

but... No henry.

Natalie's gonna be heartbroken
if we don't find it.

I know, I feel like
we've looked everywhere twice.

I wish we could do something
to take her mind off of it.

Willow, is there anything
that she can do for you?

Why, yes, actually.

Mrs. Hill from the stables

is gonna be here any minute
with a horse and carriage.

Horse and carriage?

Yes, it's for the wedding.

It's gonna bring Juni
from the inn

down to the barn.

Didn't you used to have
carriages here at Christmas?

Yes!

That was so much fun.

David, you have to bring
them back.

We already have every last bit
of Christmas

on the outside of the inn, dad.

Do we really
need carriage rides?

Nobody needs carriage rides,

but it's fun,
and everybody needs fun,

especially at Christmas time.

You should listen
to your father, david.

He's a wise man.

He is very wise,
but he's not paying for it.

Well, it's part of the wedding,
so my family's paying for it.

Okay, I mean...

A horse would take
her mind off of this.

What am I saying? A horse would
take her mind off of everything.

Perfect.

And you should come with us.

And do not tell me
that you have to work.

It's Saturday.

You know, you're right.
You're right!

I'll go get natalie.

- [smack]
- [mark laughs]

Oh, this is perfect.

Your buyer's gonna take one look
at this, and the inn,

and he's just gonna whip out
his checkbook on the spot.

I don't know about that.

Dad. I'm petting the horse!

I see that.

And his name is frosty,
like the snowman.

Oh, that's a great name.

And Mrs. Hill,

she said we can go for a ride.

- Oh.
- Oh.

Actually, I don't know

if we have time
to do that, sweetie.

But dad,
the carriage is right here,

and frosty's all ready to go.

I think he wants
to give us a ride.

[giggles]

Well, I mean,
if frosty wants to...

Well, how can we say "no"
to frosty?

Yay!

[natalie laughing]

She's really having fun.

Yes, she is,

and I have you to thank
for that, so...

Thank you.

Well, gotta say,
it hasn't been easy.

The guy who owns the inn
has been pretty resistant

to everything I wanted to do.

[laughs]

Listen.

We do celebrate, you know.

We do lights, the presents,
and everything,

it's just that we haven't done
a really big Christmas

in a few years.

I-I know that you haven't,
and I understand why,

and I hope you don't think
that I don't...

No, no, no.
It's okay, it's okay.

In fact, it's more than okay.

It's time we did
a really big Christmas.

[♪♪♪]

So,

um, what was

your absolute favorite
Christmas?

Oh... Wow. Uh...

Okay.

Well, the one
that's popping into my mind

has got to be
when I was six years old.

I remember
I had gotten it into my head

that I was gonna stay up
all night

so I could meet santa when
he came to bring the presents

because I just
wanted to thank him.

You know?

For all the gifts he had
brought me in the past,

and I just wanted to see him
eat a Christmas cookie.

Makes sense.

How late did you stay up?

I was asleep by 9:45.

Okay.

It was a good Christmas.

How about you?

Um...

Well, probably the Christmas
when I was 14.

Yeah.

Well, we didn't know

it was gonna be our last one
here with my dad,

but it was.

I just remember it
because he was so happy.

You know?

Christmas was just
his favorite time of the year,

and we had a bunch
of friends and family

come and stay with us...

Yeah.

He just... he knew how to make it
really special for us, you know?

That's nice.

Hey, natalie?

What do you say we do

carriage rides at the inn
this Christmas?

Yay! Did you hear that frosty?

[giggling]

Come on!

We need to take a picture.

Oh, I'll take it.

You have to be in it.

Yeah, no, you need to be in it.

I don't mind.

No, no. You know what?

You do have to be in it.
She's right.

Sorry, Mrs. Hill, do you mind
taking a photo of us?

Thank you.

Three... Two... One...

Carrots!

[laughing]

- Hey.
- Hi.

I'm heading home.

Okay. Thank you for everything.

Where's natalie?

She's in the bath.

She was very excited
about that horse.

Yeah. I have a feeling

she's gonna want to update
her Christmas list.

I have a feeling you're right.

Sounds like you all had
a good time, though.

Yeah, we did.

I mean, Willow sure knows
how to do Christmas.

Yes, she does.

She's such a sweetheart.

Yeah.

[♪♪♪]

[footsteps]

[gasps] oh.

[both chuckling]

I am going to look spectacular

arriving at my wedding
in that carriage.

Yes. Yes, you are.

And it's one more thing

to cross off
my wedding to-do list.

I'm sorry, what?

You had a horse and carriage
on your wedding to-do list?

[embarrassed chuckle]

It's a very long list

that I was never
going to get through,

so let's just pretend
it was, okay?

Sure. Wedding planning is fun.

Oh, yeah.
I'm not stressed out at all.

Right.

I'm glad that you're getting
the two of them out to have fun.

Austin has been so worried

that david was spending
too much time working.

Well, he's probably right,
but I'm trying.

And you're doing a great job...

On the inn, the wedding,
Christmas...

Everything.

Have I told you
how much I appreciate it?

Several times, yes.

But, really, I'm...
I'm enjoying it.

I'm glad.

But...?

I just want to make sure

that you're not getting
too emotionally invested.

No. Why would you, uh,
why would you say that?

I just... I know how much
the inn means to you.

Right, the inn.

Yeah, and I remember
how hard it was

for us to leave it
when we were kids.

Mm-hmm.

I don't want you to feel badly
when Christmas is over

and you have to go
back to New York.

You're leaving a lot behind.

Don't worry, Juni.

I'll be careful.

Thank you, Juni.

Of course.

Take care of yourself.

Will do.

- Love you.
- Love you.

See you tonight
at the tree lighting.

Where are dad and grandpa?

Grandpa had
a quick errand to run,

and your dad got held up
at work,

but they are on their way.

They're gonna miss the tree.

I'm sure
they're gonna make it on time.

Don't you worry.

Why don't I get us
some hot apple cider

to keep us warm?

- Yeah!
- I'll help.

Willow, will you stay here
with natalie?

- Yes, of course.
- Thank you.

So... Are you excited
for the lights?

Yeah.

But it's gonna have to be
pretty special

to be better than
what we have at the inn.

Mm...

I don't know, I think
they're gonna top us.

[natalie giggles]

You know, lighting the tree

is kind of the town's way
of saying

it's officially Christmas.

Well, I think it should be
Christmas all the time.

Really?

See, I kind of think that having
Christmas only once a year

is kind of
what makes it special.

- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

How so?

Well, think about
all of the things

that you look forward
to at Christmastime.

The carols, the decorations...

And the cookies.

Yes, exactly, the cookies.

You wait all year,

and you think about having
that Christmas cookie,

and then when
you finally get one,

it's so delicious, right?

It's like all that waiting
has finally paid off.

Yes, exactly.
It's like it's a reward.

Because, if you had
Christmas cookies

every day of every week
of the year,

it just it wouldn't
feel as special.

Hmm. I haven't thought of it
that way.

[sighs] okay.

Now I really want
to bake Christmas cookies.

Me too!

[deep breath] hmm.

So, tell me, what else
about Christmas

do you think
is worth waiting for?

Hmm... Everything.

[laughs]

We have dinner at my grandma's,

and then we call
my other grandparents,

my grandma and grandpa,

on the computer,

and we always have
Christmas morning at the inn.

I mean... [sighs]

I guess we won't have that
anymore after this year.

Well, that's okay.

It doesn't really matter
where you are,

it only matters that you're with
the people that you love.

[♪♪♪]

Ah, there's Juni and austin.
Let's go say hi.

- Yeah.
- Okay. Hey!

- Hey!
- Hey.

Hey, it's almost time
to light the tree.

Let's do it. Yeah.

So the tie was the errand, huh?

I have chosen to believe

that your mother finds
this kind of thing charming.

Well, you've been married
40-something years,

so it's gotta be
doing something right.

Takes practice.

And patience.

A lot of patience.

I remember.

So you're gonna have
a full house at the inn soon.

Yeah, I mean,
we have austin's family

staying over the holidays.

Juni's friends
are gonna be there.

That should be the most people
we've had there in a long time.

You know, you could've had
that place full all the time,

if you just did
a little more advertising.

It's like you were
trying to keep it secret.

No, it's like
I was too busy, dad.

Too busy? That all it was?

I just...

I didn't really know
how to do it by myself.

And I got to admit,

seeing the inn come back to life
has been great,

but I know I have to move on.

Well, you did an amazing job
with it.

It's mostly Willow.

Gonna find it tough
to say goodbye?

Oh, to the inn?

Yeah, no, it'll be tough.

Well, it's never too late
to change your mind.

Dad! You made it!

[david laughs]

I wouldn't miss it, kiddo.

Grandpa, your tie.

Grandma, isn't it great?

I think
it's absolutely... Charming.

Welcome, everyone.

It's time to light the tree!

Is everybody ready?

Please welcome our special...

Okay, the button's over there.
You go push it!

Natalie!

[crowd] ...Six! Five!

Four! Three!

Two! One!

Wow!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

[crowd cheering]

Merry Christmas!

[♪♪♪]

Cheers.

All right, kiddo. Bedtime.

But maybe a bedtime story first?

We just read three.

[sighs] but... Just one more?

A short one, a Christmas one.

[david sighs]

Hey. I found my notebook.
It was in the kitchen.

Oh, great. Goodnight.

Goodnight, you two.

Oh! Willow can read me
a bedtime story.

Um...

Well, I... Okay with me,
if it's okay with Willow.

Yeah, of course, it's okay.

Lucky!

[giggles]

All right... What have we here?

Oh. Oh, well, here's one.

All right.

Let's see here.

Okay.

A visit from st. Nicholas.

You know, my dad used to read
this to me and my sister, Juni,

all the time.

This and a Christmas carol.

Ooh! Dad says I get to read
a Christmas carol next year.

Mm, and that will definitely
be something to look forward to.

Mm-hmm.

"'Twas the night
before Christmas,"

when all through the house,

"not a creature was stirring,
not even a mouse."

well, that's good,

because we definitely
don't want mice in the inn.

No, we do not.

"The stockings were hung
by the chimney with care,"

in hopes that st. Nicholas
soon would be there.

The children were nestled
all snug in their beds,

"while visions of sugarplums
danced in their heads."

[door shuts]

All right.

She finally fell asleep.

Oh, thank you.

You know, she doesn't let
just anyone

read her a bedtime story.

Oh, well, in that case,
I'm especially honored.

And I appreciate it.

Also, thank you for suggesting

we go
to the tree lighting tonight.

It was a lot of fun.

It really was.

Yeah.

So... Two weeks to go.
Are we gonna make it?

Uh, I think so.

I hope so.

Wait.

Ms. Don't-worry-about-anything
only "hopes" so?

Okay, now I'm gonna
worry about everything.

Well, then, see?
We'll balance each other out.

Maybe so.

Mm.

Hey, look.

I have to admit
that this is shaping up

to be
a rather spectacular Christmas,

and I know that I was
kind of hesitant.

- A little.
- Yeah.

But it's really
working out well,

and I just want to say

that I've really enjoyed
spending so much time with you.

Working on the inn.

You too.

The inn.

- The inn, yeah.
- Yeah.

Yeah, I hope that your buyer
is impressed

and that, uh, you can just
sell it quickly

and just move right along.

Right, yeah, and you can...

Get back to your regular life.

Anyway...

- Oh, I'll get your jacket.
- Oh, thank you.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

- Yeah.
- There we go.

So, uh, I'm just curious.

Like, if you didn't come back
here for Christmas,

what would you have been doing?

Oh, well, first of all,

I probably would've come in
the night before Christmas

and left the day
right after Christmas.

I never get to spend
this much time here, but, um...

I am really glad that I did.

You ever
think about moving back?

I'd consider it, you know,
if the right reason popped up.

What would be the right reason?

I think
I'd know it when I see it.

Right.

Anyway, it's late, I should...

Okay. Goodnight.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Welcome, everyone! Hello!

Welcome to brogan's diner

and our annual
holiday celebration.

[cheering]

[applauding]

We really do appreciate
each of you so much.

Now, who's ready to play
some Christmas games?

[cheering]

Christmas games?

She takes Christmas
very seriously.

Now I see where you get it from.

Inside these boxes
are Christmas bells.

Teams of two will try
to be the first ones

to unwrap the box
and ring the bell.

The catch is...

Your hands are gonna
be tied together,

and the other hand has to be
behind your back.

No cheating.

The first team to unwrap the box
and ring the bell

wins...

Free pie for a week.

Okay?

Everybody, assemble your teams.

Nat, you wanna be partners?

- Of course.
- Yes!

[natalie giggles]

Hmm. Willow, david...
You're a team.

- Oh!
- We... We are?

Okay, um, I don't remember
raising my hand.

My game, my rules.

- I guess we should...
- Yes.

[♪♪♪]

All right...

Hands, please?

Um...

- Yes.
- Okay.

Like that.

- This is so much fun!
- Are you ready?

Other hand behind our backs,
is that right?

- Yes, please.
- Okay.

- Ready?
- Ready.

Set?

Go-ho-ho!

[laughter]

[♪♪♪]

There, we got that part off.

Here we go! Ribbon off!

Grab the... grab the corner.

You gotta try.

I am trying!
You gotta pull on...

What? Oh...

It's a lot more difficult
than it seems...

[jingling]

[all cheering]

Yay!

Natalie and austin win!

Oh, thank you so much!

[shouting] pi-I-I-ie!

[laughter]

[whinnying]

Look at this place!

I know.

Can you imagine
how beautiful it would look

if you had just let me paint?

[laughs] I just love
seeing it like this.

Full of life and energy.

It just reminds me
of when we first bought it.

David?

Are you sure
about selling the inn?

I am.

I mean, I see it like this,
and it's tempting, you know?

To just chuck the nine-to-five
and the suit,

and go run an inn.

But...

I didn't work as hard
as I worked to become partner

just to give up
when I'm so close to it.

You know?

Right.

What did you call it?

Um...

"getting back on track."

that's right. That's...
Something like that, yeah.

Still, though, it's a...

It's a nice dream, isn't it?

It is.

Hey, david!

Yeah?

Um, best man duty calls.

Right.

[♪♪♪]

[indistinct conversations]

[Willow] pink icing...
Is that all right?

Pink is good.

Yeah.

You really should put
more sprinkles on that one.

Oh, I think maybe
you need more sprinkles!

[laughing]

What's going on here?

We're making Christmas cookies.

Yeah, I see that,
and they smell wonderful.

Well, let me get you one, then.

Oh, please.

I found natalie out in the barn
looking for henry,

so I thought
maybe we should take

a little Christmas spirit break.

[quietly] thank you.

Oh!

Thank you.

Oh, sorry.

Mm. This is delicious.

Totally worth the wait.
Right, Willow?

Oh, yeah.

So, natalie did you wish
for anything special this year

from santa?

I did.

But I can't tell you
or it won't come true.

Oh.

It didn't have to do

with a certain horse
named frosty, did it?

No.

Willow explained to me

that frosty needs to stay
with Mrs. Hill.

[mouths words]

So, what did you wish for?

Me? Um...

Uh...

Well, like you said,

if I tell you,
then it won't come true.

Not even a hint?

I'll tell you what.

I will trade you
one cookie for one hint.

These cookies are really good.

They're worth
at least two hints.

- Mm-hmm.
- Really?

Well, then,

maybe I'll just...

Tickle you!

[laughing loudly]

Oh, I'm going to steal it.

[laughing and squealing]

Thanks for the ride.

Oh...

Robert?

- Hey.
- I didn't know you were here.

Oh, no,
I didn't want to bother you,

I just wanted to look around
a little bit on my own.

I love what you've done here.

I mean, the carriage rides?
A very nice touch.

Oh, thanks, yeah,
it's turning out great.

But, listen, the wedding's not
for another week,

so it's not quite finished.

You're coming to that, right?

'Cause I want you to see
the inn in action

with a big event.

Sure, I'll be there, but, uh...

You know,
I really don't need to.

I'm ready.

Good!

Ready...?

- To buy the inn?
- Yes! [Laughs]

First thing Monday,

I'm gonna have
my realtor call yours.

We're gonna make you an offer.

That's terrific!

I-I...
I don't even know what to say.

Well, you can start
by saying where

you got that Christmas cookie.

It smells delicious.

They're in the kitchen.
You go help yourself.

I'll be right there. I'm...

Oh, wait! Hey!

Let's just keep this news
between you and I for now,

until it's a done deal, okay?

No problem.

- Terrific!
- All right.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

You still haven't
told anybody else?

Well, I haven't seen the offer.

I still don't know
if I'm gonna accept it.

Why wouldn't you accept it?

Are you having second thoughts?

No, I'm just having...

New thoughts.

I don't understand.

Neither do I, really.

All I know is that
I'm starting to realize

that the inn is maybe a little
more important than I thought.

Is this about Willow?

No.

[chuckles]

I'm a mother, I pay attention.

It's complicated.

That doesn't answer my question.

What do you want, david?

It's not about Willow or me
or what either of us wants.

It's not about selling the inn
or making partner.

I have a little girl
who is counting on me

and the decision I make
is gonna affect her entire life.

So...

As long as you're not putting
any pressure on yourself.

[both chuckling]

You're a wonderful father,
david.

When you need
to make the decision,

you'll know what to do.

Thanks, mom.

Come on.

No, no, no. It's no problem.
Truly, call any time.

Thank you
for you holding down the fort.

Merry Christmas.

Problems?

Just work stuff.

You're supposed to be
on vacation.

I think that they are regretting

letting me leave
for quite this long.

Of course they are.

You're so good
at handling things.

Your job, your sister's wedding,

the inn.

That's different.
It's a labor of love.

Oh, you don't love your job?

Well, I do. It's different.

This is all for Juni.

And the-the inn
is just special, you know?

I will agree with you there.

And I think
whoever buys the place

is gonna be very lucky
that you were there.

And the right savvy investor

could really
make a real go of it.

I agree.

Someone with a background
in hotel management,

so they really knew
what they're doing.

Someone emotionally invested
in the place...

Way to be subtle, mom.

It's a week away from Christmas.

I don't have time to be subtle.

I think you should buy the inn.

Mom, I cannot afford it.

And besides,

being an assistant manager
of a hotel

does not make me qualify me
to run my own business.

Really? What have you been
doing for the last three weeks?

Well, I've been making
to-do lists and schedules.

I've been pointing at things
people need to do,

and I'm worrying that they're
not going to get done in time.

Mm-hmm, that's what running
your business is all about.

I could open up
my retirement account.

No, absolutely not.
I can't let you do that.

And besides, what if I...

What if I tried and I failed?

Oh.

I mean, really,
what if it didn't work?

I mean, it was dad's dream,

and...

I just couldn't say
goodbye twice, you know?

[sighing]

[♪♪♪]

Tasha, hey, it's me.

I'm good, thanks. How are you?

Great. Hey, listen.
Could I ask you a favor, please?

Would you mind sending me
the information

for the last ten hotels
that the company's invested in?

Yes.

Okay, that's perfect. Thank you.

[♪♪♪]

Hey. What's all this?

Okay, picture this.

The horse-drawn carriage
with Juni in it

pulls up here,

comes to a stop.

She gets out,

she comes up this path,
and as she does...

Whoa!

That's amazing!

[Willow laughing]

You did all this?

Well, garrett did it,
but it was my idea.

Well, it's a great idea.

I can't wait
for natalie to see this.

She's gonna love it.

So, david, have you, uh...

Talked anymore to that guy

who was interested
making an offer on the inn?

Yeah, yeah. We've, uh,
we've been in touch.

Oh. Okay. So, um...

The last three weeks have...

They've meant a lot to me.

Being able to be here,

fix up the place, I...

It's like I've gotten back
a piece of my past,

if that makes any sense?

That makes total sense.
In fact, I feel the same way.

- Really?
- Yeah. It's like

I was waiting for a sign,

and seeing this place like this
was it.

I'm so glad you said that.

Because it's telling me

that eagle ridge has been around
before either of us,

it's going to be here
long after we're gone,

and it's not really
about who owns it,

it's-it's about the memories
we made here,

and bringing the inn
back to life

has given me that closure...

So that I can move on.

That's great, david.

I am very happy for you.

I owe it all to you. Thank you.

Well, it's getting late.

I should go.

Right.

'Night.

Goodnight.

[♪♪♪]

What's wrong?

What makes you think
something is wrong?

You're eating fruitcake
out of a pan.

It's good fruitcake.

No, it's not.
Why are you eating it?

[laughing] because...

I need some comfort food.

I'm getting married in a week.
I need comfort.

You look like you could
use some fruitcake.

I don't like fruitcake.

Talk to me.

All right, listen.

Don't tell anyone, but I...

I kind of put together
a proposal

about my company maybe
investing in eagle ridge.

Investing?

- Yeah.
- Why?

Well, I'd thought

that david didn't really
want to sell it at all,

that he was only letting it go
because he was too busy,

and I thought, this way,

if my company put in the money,
then maybe...

I could run it.

That would be amazing.

Would your company do that?

I don't know,

and truthfully,
it doesn't matter,

because david wants to be done
with the inn.

He just needs closure.

Oh.

I guess that's kind of
understandable, right?

It's completely understandable.

I mean,
the inn represents his past,

and he's ready to move on.

Maybe you could buy it.

Juni, I cannot afford it.

Take out a loan!

Unless...

You don't want to do it
without david?

I can admit

that part of
what's made this so fun

has been doing all of this
with him... And natalie.

Of course.

Sounds like your feelings
for the inn are getting

all mixed up
with your feelings for david.

I only met him
a couple weeks ago.

I can't have feelings about him.

Why not?

Because...

[sighs]
because it's just complicated.

Because I might be a person

who's pretty good
at solving problems,

but I do not have a solution
for this one.

Well, maybe your answer is
accepting how you really feel.

Yes, the tree! This way.

Over there.

[♪♪♪]

All right! We're getting close!

Looking good, guys.

[indistinct conversations]

[knocking at door]

Come in.

Are you okay?
Mom said you needed me.

I'm getting married
in a few hours.

Yes, you are. It's okay.

Everything's gonna be just fine.

How?

I have an idea.

[chuckles] sorry.
We're all out of fruitcake.

This is so much better.

You're the best.

Thanks.

Mm.

[clink]

Merry wedding day.

[laughing] hey. Thank you.

Everything's good?

Everything is great. Yeah.

I mean, it's almost Christmas,
and I'm getting married today.

No last-minute jitters?

Not a one.

Well, well, maybe one or two,

but that's only 'cause
I hate wearing tuxedos.

I don't know how you do it.

I don't know
how you stay so calm.

Well, I had a good role model.

Ugh, none of
this "david is wise" stuff.

No. No, no, no,
that was me goofing around,

but, this time, I'm serious.

David, I know
I joke around a lot,

but it's true, you are, like...

Like the wiser,
much older brother I never had.

I'm not that much older
than you.

Seriously, man,
look at everything you've done.

With the inn...

Raising natalie on your own...

You're about to make partner.

How you do that all at once,
it's... It's amazing.

Thank you.

Seriously, I mean,

sometimes, it just feels like

I'm being pulled along
for the ride, you know?

Ah, everybody feels like that
every now and then,

but you're gonna figure it out.

You always do.

It's like... like the work
that you did here with Willow.

You saw an opportunity

to make this place
more attractive

to the guy who wants to buy it,

and it's looking good, right?

Yeah, it's looking great.

You see?
It's all coming together.

[unconvincingly] yeah.

Unless...
There's a part that isn't.

No! It's great.

Okay. Okay.

Well, hey, whatever it is,
you're gonna figure it out.

If you think so?

Yeah, yeah, I didn't make you
my best man for nothing.

[laughs] all right?

Can't believe
you're getting married!

Yeah. I can't believe it either.

[Juni sighs]

I still think

you should tell david
about your proposal.

It's not that easy.

It should be.

Just... Tell him what you want.

What if I'm not sure
what I want?

What if it doesn't even matter
what I want?

Of course, it matters
what you want.

And... You're always sure.

Remember, when we were kids,

and we used to sit
around the Christmas tree

and dad would ask us

which gift
we wanted to open first?

Mm-hmm.

You could never decide.

[both laugh]

Because, I didn't want
my first present to be...

Something special,

not something like socks.

You knew, you always knew,

where the good ones were.

Mm, not this time.

Right now, everything
looks like socks.

[Juni chuckles]

So... What are you gonna do?

You have to open something.

Do I?

I mean, can't I just
be here with you

and eat some cookies?

You could,

except...

I kind of
have to start getting ready.

I'm getting married today.

Mm-hmm. Yeah, you are.

[both chuckling]

Mm.

[♪♪♪]

Finished.

I know...

We cut it a little close.

You got it done in time
before the wedding,

that's all that matters.

Can I see it?

It's all yours.

You're not gonna come in?

No.

I know my crew and me
did a lot of the work, but...

This was your vision.

I think you should do it
on your own.

Thank you, garrett.

For everything.

[Willow sighs deeply]

[♪♪♪]

Willow, this is...

I know, right?

I-I don't even know what to say.

I mean... [chuckles]

Actually, you know what?
I do know what to say.

Your father
would be very proud of you.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

David, we need to talk.

I know.

Why is it so hard to know
what to say to you?

I was just thinking that.

[chuckles]

I think that we should just try
being honest with each other.

You heard that I got the offer
for the inn?

An offer?

Yeah.

Uh, robert? Right?

He said it was
the carriage rides

that put him over.

Told you.

[chuckles] yeah...

Are you gonna take it?

I think I have to, you know?

Right. The closure.

Mm-hmm.

You know, I just... I've...

I have felt stuck
these last three years and...

Like I'm waist-deep in snow
and I just can't get out.

And if you sell the inn,
you get...

Unstuck, and...?

Yeah, something like that.

I have you to thank for it, so...

- You're making a huge mistake.
- What?

I don't think
you should sell the inn.

What are you talking about?

You love it here, david!

I can see it in your eyes
every time you look around.

That doesn't mean
that I shouldn't sell it.

Yes. Yes, that's exactly
what it means.

You should always stay
and fight for what you love.

I know you think that this place
represents your past,

but I...

I think it's your future.

What kind of future
can I have here?

Every time I look around,

all I see are these...

These memories.

That's not a bad thing.

You don't have to let go
of your memories

in order to make new ones.

There's always...

There's room in our hearts
for more.

I don't think I can.

You don't want to try?

I'm sorry.

I just have to, um...

Get ready for the wedding.

[♪♪♪]

[hooves clopping]

[♪♪♪]

[gasps]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[doors rumbling]

[♪♪♪]

You may be seated.

Dearly beloved,

we are gathered here today

to join this man and woman

in the bonds of holy matrimony.

So glad to see so many friends
and family

on this momentous occasion.

[laughter]

[applauding]

To a job well done.

Oh.

- [clink]
- thank you.

I knew from the moment I met you

you were a person who was
good at taking care of things.

Well... I'm just glad
it all worked out.

So, what's next for you?

What big job
are you going to tackle?

Well, I'll go back to New York

and then I might be
getting transferred to denver.

Is that what you want?

No.

Well, for heaven's sakes,
why are you doing it?

Because I...
Don't have a choice.

Willow.

You always have a choice.

I've never seen david

so engaged,

so passionate,

so happy

as he's been
the last few weeks...

In a long time.

Right, but david wants
to let go of his past, so...

The past isn't something
you let go of.

It's something you learn from,

to build a future from.

I think that's what
you really want.

Well, you don't always
get what you want.

If my son is as smart
as I think he is...

You will.

[glasses clink]

[indistinct
background conversations]

[♪♪♪]

[natalie sighs]

There you are.

What's going on, kiddo?

- Nothing.
- Are you...

Are you not having a good time?

No, I did.

The wedding was really pretty.

It was, wasn't it?

Was that what you and mom's
wedding was like?

Well, not really,

'cause we got married
in a church,

not a barn,

and ours didn't take place
at Christmas,

so we didn't have
all these beautiful decorations.

But it was still fun?

Yes. It was...

Wonderful.

It was a great way
to start our lives together.

I wish I could've been there.

Well, it was a few years
before we met you,

but you were there
in our dreams that day.

What's wrong?

It's just...

It's almost Christmas eve,

and we still
haven't found henry.

[sighing]

I know.

He's so good at hiding,
isn't he?

[laughs]

I mean, I guess we can't leave
if we can't find him.

What do you mean?

We can't leave without henry.

Sweetie,

we can't stay here.

Someone else
is gonna be moving in.

But mom gave him to me.

We can't just forget about him.

No, I mean,
we're not just gonna forget.

No matter where we go,

we're always gonna have
our good memories.

Well, why can't we make
more good memories here?

Did we use them all up?

We can't make more?

[sighs]

Come here.

Tasha, hi.

I just wanted to leave word

and let you know
that I'm actually

going to be heading back
a little earlier than expected.

I should be in the office
the day right after Christmas.

Have a wonderful holiday.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

Henry!

Henry...

You found him!

Thank you!

Where did you find him?

In the bookshelf.

In... The... Bookshelf.

[Willow laughs]

What made you look there?

I found...

My father's copy
of a Christmas carol.

I-I thought it was lost.

I don't believe it.

I do.

I got my Christmas wish
two whole days early.

Aw.

That's pretty amazing, sweetie.

See, dad?
We didn't run out of memories.

No...

We didn't.

[♪♪♪]

Hey.

Hi.

So when were you gonna
tell me about this?

Oh, just something I was
carrying around for a few days.

It's actually a
proposal I put together

about my company

potentially investing
in eagle ridge.

Yes, I know. I read it.

I just... I only did that

because I thought
it was what you might want.

Look.

I-I appreciate you putting
so much work into this,

really, but...

I can't let you invest.

I know that. Closure.

I can't let you because...

I'm keeping it.

I called robert and told him

that I'm pulling it
off the market.

But what about your job?
What about being a partner?

What about getting
"back on track"?

I think I need a new track.

And I didn't realize that
until...

You showed me.

You know, we talked about

all the memories
that we have of this place...

Mm-hmm?

And I just started thinking
that mine were gone,

lost, and then...

I realized that we're creating
new memories all the time.

And I would love

to continue making new
memories with you.

I would like that.

Um...

I probably need some help

and I was thinking
of hiring a manager...

But I know you have a job.

Well, I would consider it.

On one condition.

Name it.

You have to let me paint.

[laughs]

Deal.

You said you didn't know a good reason

to want you to move back here.

No.

I said

I'd know it when I saw it.
