1
00:00:13,888 --> 00:00:16,182
It's Christmas Eve

2
00:00:16,266 --> 00:00:18,810
The weather is perfect for the reindeer

3
00:00:18,893 --> 00:00:23,773
Santa Claus and his reindeer
They will love the snow

4
00:00:24,274 --> 00:00:25,734
This is not a song.

5
00:00:27,485 --> 00:00:30,113
Maybe bring me a better slingshot

6
00:00:30,196 --> 00:00:31,865
And an old book for Mary

7
00:00:32,824 --> 00:00:34,367
She would love it

8
00:00:34,451 --> 00:00:39,456
Or maybe we'll get lots of toys

9
00:00:39,539 --> 00:00:41,708
Christmas isn't just about gifts.

10
00:00:42,208 --> 00:00:45,170
I know. It's also about food.

11
00:00:45,754 --> 00:00:49,799
- Don't start singing about it.
- Tell us what we're going to eat.

12
00:00:50,633 --> 00:00:54,429
They know their dad is hunting a turkey.

13
00:00:54,512 --> 00:00:58,433
Mrs. Henderson comes here.
You must bring a wonderful dessert.

14
00:00:58,516 --> 00:01:01,770
Dr. Tann said that a patient
gave him fresh cheese.

15
00:01:02,979 --> 00:01:05,774
Mr. Edwards
maybe you'll find some potatoes.

16
00:01:06,274 --> 00:01:09,861
- And Caleb might bring something.
- Maybe peppermint lollipops.

17
00:01:09,944 --> 00:01:11,279
Your favorites.

18
00:01:12,197 --> 00:01:15,950
Do you remember that last Christmas,
we ate pumpkin pie,

19
00:01:16,034 --> 00:01:17,744
three slices each?

20
00:01:17,827 --> 00:01:19,370
We don't have pumpkins.

21
00:01:24,834 --> 00:01:27,295
Christmas here can be a little different.

22
00:01:28,129 --> 00:01:29,923
Dinner, gifts…

23
00:01:30,882 --> 00:01:32,092
But we are together

24
00:01:32,842 --> 00:01:34,511
and that's what counts.

25
00:01:41,351 --> 00:01:42,644
That's not a turkey.

26
00:01:43,728 --> 00:01:44,562
What?

27
00:01:47,524 --> 00:01:49,567
I could barely see the tip of the rifle.

28
00:01:50,151 --> 00:01:51,820
This hare is already lucky.

29
00:01:51,903 --> 00:01:55,448
It doesn't matter, dad.
Our guests bring food.

30
00:01:55,532 --> 00:01:58,952
I don't know if anyone
will venture out in this weather.

31
00:02:00,578 --> 00:02:02,831
It could just be us, half-leca.

32
00:02:04,958 --> 00:02:06,417
It will be special all the same.

33
00:02:06,501 --> 00:02:09,212
- But Santa Claus is coming, isn't he?
- Of course.

34
00:02:14,968 --> 00:02:19,889
A HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE

35
00:02:31,025 --> 00:02:33,987
More beans, more sauerkraut…

36
00:02:34,070 --> 00:02:37,198
- We don't need pickles.
- There are never too many.

37
00:02:38,992 --> 00:02:42,120
Happy Christmas Eve! How long ago!

38
00:02:42,203 --> 00:02:44,289
I've been going to Oswego.

39
00:02:44,372 --> 00:02:48,042
One of their doctors
went to visit family on the East Coast.

40
00:02:48,626 --> 00:02:50,420
It smells like Christmas in here.

41
00:02:50,503 --> 00:02:53,631
We are making gingerbread cookies
for the Ingalls.

42
00:02:53,715 --> 00:02:56,342
- I am not going.
- You don't want to see Mary.

43
00:02:56,426 --> 00:02:58,970
- They got angry.
- He's in luck.

44
00:02:59,053 --> 00:03:02,432
I came to say we should cancel.
It's snowing a lot.

45
00:03:03,183 --> 00:03:05,685
You want to cancel Christmas because of the snow.

46
00:03:05,768 --> 00:03:09,856
- Where is the Christmas spirit?
- The main street is frozen.

47
00:03:11,232 --> 00:03:16,196
I was looking forward to a real celebration.
And for seeing the Ingalls. They're missing.

48
00:03:16,279 --> 00:03:20,533
I'll see Caroline if you want
send him a note or cookies.

49
00:03:20,617 --> 00:03:23,453
If it's dangerous for us, it's dangerous for you too.

50
00:03:23,953 --> 00:03:27,290
What will become of us
if our best doctor freezes?

51
00:03:27,373 --> 00:03:31,002
- I'm your only doctor.
- Exactly. Let's do the following...

52
00:03:31,085 --> 00:03:35,006
Stay for a coffee
and when the snow stops, let's all go.

53
00:03:35,089 --> 00:03:36,424
I am not going.

54
00:03:40,303 --> 00:03:42,013
- A cup.
- Excellent.

55
00:03:54,317 --> 00:03:58,112
I shouldn't have said that
about Santa Claus.

56
00:03:58,821 --> 00:04:01,824
You will notice that the gifts are handmade.

57
00:04:01,908 --> 00:04:04,661
And doesn't Santa Claus bring handmade gifts?

58
00:04:05,245 --> 00:04:08,248
I should have bought a few things at the store,

59
00:04:08,331 --> 00:04:09,749
when I went to town.

60
00:04:10,416 --> 00:04:11,251
I believe?

61
00:04:11,334 --> 00:04:14,504
Only until the next payment
arriving from Wisconsin.

62
00:04:15,088 --> 00:04:17,006
We waited six weeks.

63
00:04:18,716 --> 00:04:20,760
They are old enough to know.

64
00:04:20,843 --> 00:04:22,345
Even when you arrive,

65
00:04:22,428 --> 00:04:25,890
we will have to save
to buy a plow in the spring.

66
00:04:25,974 --> 00:04:26,891
I know.

67
00:04:29,936 --> 00:04:32,230
We shouldn't have bought the windows.

68
00:04:32,814 --> 00:04:37,110
The windows are beautiful
and you deserve beauty in your life.

69
00:04:39,612 --> 00:04:43,032
The Gustafsons are good people. They will pay.

70
00:04:45,076 --> 00:04:47,996
I don't want to worry them about these things.

71
00:04:49,580 --> 00:04:52,792
I don't want you to stop believing
in the magic of Christmas.

72
00:04:56,546 --> 00:04:59,424
- Everything is fine?
- Everything's great.

73
00:05:00,258 --> 00:05:02,635
Why don't you both take care of the decorations?

74
00:05:03,303 --> 00:05:07,974
Laura, your sister helps you with the tree
for your mother to get some rest.

75
00:05:09,976 --> 00:05:13,563
- We can put bows on the branches.
- I'm going to make paper dolls.

76
00:05:34,500 --> 00:05:36,252
I like being a perfectionist.

77
00:05:36,336 --> 00:05:38,171
Very perfectionist.

78
00:05:38,671 --> 00:05:41,215
Did two.

79
00:05:41,799 --> 00:05:43,134
And Emily?

80
00:05:43,217 --> 00:05:44,469
Twelve.

81
00:05:47,972 --> 00:05:50,641
Even though it seems
that we will have nowhere to take them.

82
00:05:51,142 --> 00:05:52,018
Then.

83
00:05:52,852 --> 00:05:55,063
He was right. I would have lost myself.

84
00:05:55,813 --> 00:05:58,191
I hope your brother likes them.

85
00:05:58,274 --> 00:06:02,278
He likes. But Samuel went to visit
our fathers to Nicodemus.

86
00:06:02,362 --> 00:06:03,863
We take turns at Christmas.

87
00:06:03,946 --> 00:06:06,783
It was my turn to stay.
It's just me and Caleb.

88
00:06:09,285 --> 00:06:11,496
Unless you want to stay.

89
00:06:13,456 --> 00:06:15,333
We can go around the store,

90
00:06:15,833 --> 00:06:19,837
open some sale goodies
and have a picnic.

91
00:06:19,921 --> 00:06:21,547
I…

92
00:06:24,175 --> 00:06:26,969
- It shouldn't.
- Help us have a good Christmas?

93
00:06:29,347 --> 00:06:32,558
Well, you'd hate to waste those cookies...

94
00:06:33,518 --> 00:06:35,895
Especially this one. Perfect.

95
00:06:48,199 --> 00:06:50,785
Where is the father? I want to show this to you.

96
00:06:50,868 --> 00:06:53,955
It's out there,
back from the horses again.

97
00:06:54,038 --> 00:06:56,374
I made bows with Mary's old dress.

98
00:06:59,710 --> 00:07:01,129
They are not the same.

99
00:07:14,183 --> 00:07:16,436
Mom, look. I'm decorating Jack.

100
00:07:16,936 --> 00:07:18,938
Laura, let her rest.

101
00:07:20,273 --> 00:07:24,569
Our brother hasn't been born yet
and it's already ruining our fun.

102
00:07:38,207 --> 00:07:39,417
We should use this.

103
00:07:39,500 --> 00:07:41,544
I did this with the Good Eagle.

104
00:07:42,295 --> 00:07:46,007
- They're not yours. You can't use them.
- I don't want to use them.

105
00:07:46,090 --> 00:07:49,844
- I thought the family could use them.
- Use your ribbons first.

106
00:07:49,927 --> 00:07:53,306
- It doesn't have to be a baby.
- I'm not being a baby.

107
00:07:53,389 --> 00:07:54,515
Girls…

108
00:07:57,059 --> 00:08:01,981
- Tell Laura to share the decorations.
- And to her so she doesn't take away what's mine.

109
00:08:02,565 --> 00:08:04,108
Let's take a coffee break.

110
00:08:05,943 --> 00:08:07,945
And make popcorn.

111
00:08:08,863 --> 00:08:14,243
While the shepherds
They watched their flock at night

112
00:08:14,785 --> 00:08:19,749
All sitting on the floor

113
00:08:20,249 --> 00:08:25,755
The angel of the Lord came down to Earth

114
00:08:26,339 --> 00:08:27,465
And the glory…

115
00:08:27,548 --> 00:08:28,549
I found the tape.

116
00:08:36,891 --> 00:08:39,310
Caleb! To have lunch!

117
00:08:40,353 --> 00:08:41,229
Here.

118
00:08:44,482 --> 00:08:47,318
Caleb, everything is ready! Come see!

119
00:08:50,112 --> 00:08:53,824
I didn't want to go to Ingalls,
and now he's upset about not going.

120
00:08:54,408 --> 00:08:56,869
I want you to have a real Christmas.

121
00:08:59,205 --> 00:09:02,333
I'll talk to him.
Yes, man to man.

122
00:09:12,552 --> 00:09:14,011
Dinner is ready.

123
00:09:14,929 --> 00:09:16,597
I'd rather finish the work.

124
00:09:17,807 --> 00:09:20,351
I think your boss will give you the day off.

125
00:09:22,061 --> 00:09:25,106
Wait until you see the good things we have.

126
00:09:25,606 --> 00:09:28,442
Oysters, Vienna sausages,
Turkish delights…

127
00:09:31,070 --> 00:09:34,865
I wish she hadn't
turned everything into a party.

128
00:09:34,949 --> 00:09:36,284
Don't like parties?

129
00:09:38,661 --> 00:09:42,582
Christmas is for the family,
not for those who get stuck in the snow.

130
00:09:48,546 --> 00:09:53,259
The last time I celebrated Christmas
It was three years ago,

131
00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:55,136
a year after the war.

132
00:09:55,928 --> 00:10:01,601
My family was so happy with my
return that gave a big party.

133
00:10:02,101 --> 00:10:04,812
Sophisticated food, dozens of guests…

134
00:10:04,895 --> 00:10:11,819
But it was hard for me to see everyone so happy,

135
00:10:11,902 --> 00:10:14,864
when I knew
how much suffering there was out there.

136
00:10:15,573 --> 00:10:20,036
I didn't feel right in such a happy place,
So I left the party

137
00:10:20,536 --> 00:10:23,372
and I went to offer my services
to the hospital.

138
00:10:24,582 --> 00:10:26,834
I wanted to work instead of celebrate.

139
00:10:26,917 --> 00:10:30,713
It was difficult for my family.
They didn't understand.

140
00:10:31,213 --> 00:10:36,302
For us, Christmas is difficult,
but I know it's important to Emily.

141
00:10:37,345 --> 00:10:42,558
Do you think we can try
enjoy and align,

142
00:10:42,642 --> 00:10:43,851
for Emily?

143
00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:45,645
I can do this.

144
00:10:51,901 --> 00:10:54,987
Let's tell a story
about our favorite Christmas.

145
00:10:56,072 --> 00:11:01,118
Mine must have been
right after Mom and I got married.

146
00:11:02,703 --> 00:11:05,539
- We got stuck in the snow and...
- Charles.

147
00:11:07,208 --> 00:11:09,043
Don't you think it was a good Christmas?

148
00:11:11,420 --> 00:11:14,799
And you, half-wit?
You always have a story to tell.

149
00:11:18,678 --> 00:11:21,514
My favorite Christmas was two years ago,

150
00:11:21,597 --> 00:11:25,184
when grandparents
They invited everyone to a dance.

151
00:11:26,102 --> 00:11:32,858
The room was full of stamping boots
and skirts swirling.

152
00:11:32,942 --> 00:11:34,485
You played the violin

153
00:11:34,568 --> 00:11:37,655
and Uncle George
pulled grandma onto the dance floor

154
00:11:37,738 --> 00:11:40,408
and the two danced the jig.

155
00:11:41,701 --> 00:11:43,953
You played faster and faster,

156
00:11:44,036 --> 00:11:47,915
and the two danced faster and faster,
until, finally,

157
00:11:47,998 --> 00:11:49,834
Uncle George stopped

158
00:11:50,584 --> 00:11:55,965
and bowed to grandmother
to show that she had won.

159
00:12:01,178 --> 00:12:03,305
Uncle George really knew how to dance.

160
00:12:05,516 --> 00:12:08,394
I don't think we've ever spent a Christmas just us.

161
00:12:08,477 --> 00:12:09,812
I don't think so.

162
00:12:12,982 --> 00:12:14,859
Let's have a dance too.

163
00:12:48,726 --> 00:12:50,102
I think it was a draw.

164
00:12:55,191 --> 00:12:56,609
Which one do we open next?

165
00:12:57,109 --> 00:12:58,486
CARAMELS

166
00:13:02,865 --> 00:13:06,076
- How about both of them? Don't tell Samuel.
- He is well.

167
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,131
What a nice trick!

168
00:13:28,265 --> 00:13:29,558
Try it.

169
00:13:29,642 --> 00:13:32,895
No, thank you.
I prefer not to mix food and sport.

170
00:13:34,855 --> 00:13:37,399
Is this the seventh time we've heard this song?

171
00:13:43,072 --> 00:13:44,740
You really love Christmas.

172
00:13:46,742 --> 00:13:52,164
When I was little, my parents didn't have a store
and sold dry goods in a stagecoach.

173
00:13:52,998 --> 00:13:58,045
Every day we were in a new place and,
In December, children came running

174
00:13:58,128 --> 00:14:01,841
to see what wonderful things
we brought them from afar.

175
00:14:04,009 --> 00:14:05,719
That's what I love about this job.

176
00:14:06,846 --> 00:14:08,639
It's like being Santa Claus.

177
00:14:10,266 --> 00:14:14,311
He gave the whole store away for free,
if Samuel didn't control me.

178
00:14:14,395 --> 00:14:16,981
He likes to bring magic to people's lives.

179
00:14:19,358 --> 00:14:21,360
- But promise one thing.
- What?

180
00:14:21,944 --> 00:14:25,322
It doesn't force us to listen
the same song again.

181
00:14:29,201 --> 00:14:31,412
So much dancing made me hungry.

182
00:14:31,912 --> 00:14:36,375
Maybe Santa will bring white sugar
to make cake and pie.

183
00:14:37,418 --> 00:14:38,294
Perhaps.

184
00:14:38,377 --> 00:14:40,546
I didn't have sugar on my list,

185
00:14:40,629 --> 00:14:45,718
But sometimes Santa brings surprises
better than what I asked for.

186
00:14:46,719 --> 00:14:49,805
Do you know what to focus on this Christmas?

187
00:14:49,889 --> 00:14:52,766
In the fact that we have a roof over our heads,

188
00:14:53,475 --> 00:14:56,687
a warm fireplace and lots of food.

189
00:14:56,770 --> 00:14:59,315
This is every day, not just at Christmas.

190
00:14:59,398 --> 00:15:01,859
Yes, and that makes us lucky.

191
00:15:01,942 --> 00:15:04,069
Today is the day to appreciate this luck.

192
00:15:23,005 --> 00:15:25,299
How are you? Heavenly?

193
00:15:35,476 --> 00:15:37,144
Do we have financial problems?

194
00:15:37,227 --> 00:15:39,480
It's not something you should worry about.

195
00:15:41,774 --> 00:15:44,026
I want to know if something is happening.

196
00:15:45,235 --> 00:15:46,445
Maybe you can help.

197
00:15:47,905 --> 00:15:51,116
I worry more
what's going on between you and your sister.

198
00:15:51,700 --> 00:15:53,077
Do you want to tell me?

199
00:15:54,536 --> 00:15:56,246
I know what you're going to say.

200
00:15:57,957 --> 00:16:01,669
Laura is younger,
so I have to forgive her,

201
00:16:03,003 --> 00:16:05,798
be a good example
how she should behave

202
00:16:06,423 --> 00:16:11,011
and help her have a good Christmas,
because she loves Christmas more than anything.

203
00:16:11,887 --> 00:16:14,431
I could say I'm your father and I know more...

204
00:16:17,184 --> 00:16:19,395
…but I don't know if that's true anymore.

205
00:16:24,358 --> 00:16:26,735
I don't know what it's like to be the older brother.

206
00:16:29,279 --> 00:16:32,616
I know I've always idolized your Uncle Peter.

207
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,327
It must be a burden sometimes

208
00:16:36,245 --> 00:16:37,371
be the oldest.

209
00:16:38,831 --> 00:16:42,418
I know you will work things out
with Laura as you see fit

210
00:16:42,501 --> 00:16:44,294
and when you're ready.

211
00:16:58,934 --> 00:17:00,102
I don't see anything.

212
00:17:00,185 --> 00:17:02,980
I don't hide gifts in obvious places.

213
00:17:03,063 --> 00:17:06,233
Maybe you should look upstairs.

214
00:17:15,325 --> 00:17:16,744
I have to admit...

215
00:17:17,828 --> 00:17:20,539
Despite the storm,
It's been a good Christmas.

216
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,082
This is nothing.

217
00:17:22,833 --> 00:17:26,128
You should see what I do
when I have more time.

218
00:17:26,211 --> 00:17:28,922
For the year, in Nicodemus,
it will be a party.

219
00:17:29,006 --> 00:17:31,341
My mother is a better baker than me.

220
00:17:35,054 --> 00:17:36,305
I hope you go.

221
00:17:41,769 --> 00:17:45,230
I didn't mean to say I hope...

222
00:17:46,940 --> 00:17:48,650
I referred to myself as a friend.

223
00:17:50,027 --> 00:17:52,029
It's curious.

224
00:17:52,905 --> 00:17:55,032
My wife loved Christmas.

225
00:17:57,993 --> 00:18:01,622
In fact, the last time we were together
It was on Christmas Day.

226
00:18:04,750 --> 00:18:08,921
I left her party the night before.

227
00:18:10,672 --> 00:18:13,550
I knew I no longer belonged in that house.

228
00:18:14,384 --> 00:18:18,514
He knew he didn't belong in the East.
I wanted to be where they needed me.

229
00:18:19,181 --> 00:18:22,101
And my wife didn't want to go with me.

230
00:18:23,977 --> 00:18:24,978
And so,

231
00:18:25,854 --> 00:18:27,815
our marriage is over.

232
00:18:37,157 --> 00:18:38,617
Why didn't you tell me?

233
00:18:40,077 --> 00:18:42,079
It's not something I'm proud of.

234
00:18:47,292 --> 00:18:51,255
That means you will be free
at Christmas next year.

235
00:18:55,217 --> 00:18:59,263
Deserves someone who doesn't have
I've already tried to be a partner and failed.

236
00:19:02,683 --> 00:19:03,725
And George?

237
00:19:06,353 --> 00:19:07,646
What do you deserve?

238
00:19:11,608 --> 00:19:14,528
Don't you deserve a home where you feel like you belong?

239
00:19:15,028 --> 00:19:18,657
Isn't that why we all came here?

240
00:19:18,740 --> 00:19:20,868
Don't we all deserve a fresh start?

241
00:19:28,792 --> 00:19:29,835
I found!

242
00:19:35,257 --> 00:19:37,050
My God. Emily...

243
00:19:38,260 --> 00:19:42,431
These watercolors are so beautiful.
Almost too pretty to wear.

244
00:19:42,514 --> 00:19:46,560
It seems the storm has calmed down.
Better go see Caroline.

245
00:19:47,936 --> 00:19:52,482
- It will be dark soon.
- Yes I know. That's why I must go now.

246
00:19:55,944 --> 00:19:57,070
Merry Christmas.

247
00:19:59,364 --> 00:20:00,490
Merry Christmas.

248
00:20:10,459 --> 00:20:12,920
It's the best rabbit stew I've ever had.

249
00:20:14,296 --> 00:20:17,799
- I think this Christmas is going to be great.
- I also think.

250
00:20:19,509 --> 00:20:21,345
I also heard

251
00:20:22,054 --> 00:20:24,473
that your mother made a delicious pie.

252
00:20:25,766 --> 00:20:29,061
How about washing the dishes?
and go get dessert

253
00:20:29,144 --> 00:20:33,190
for mom to rest for another dance?
- One more dance? Yes.

254
00:20:40,864 --> 00:20:43,450
I think it was the best bread you've ever made.

255
00:20:43,533 --> 00:20:44,576
Thanks.

256
00:20:47,204 --> 00:20:50,791
Do you want to cut the pie?
You always cut prettier slices.

257
00:20:51,875 --> 00:20:52,960
You can cut it.

258
00:20:56,129 --> 00:20:58,590
Are you still mad about Caleb?

259
00:20:59,841 --> 00:21:01,718
It's been centuries.

260
00:21:02,761 --> 00:21:04,429
And it wasn't even my fault.

261
00:21:04,930 --> 00:21:09,226
It was Romanzy and Edith's fault.
They were the ones who said bad things.

262
00:21:11,186 --> 00:21:13,897
Apologize for what you said

263
00:21:14,648 --> 00:21:16,233
and he will forgive you,

264
00:21:17,067 --> 00:21:21,238
just like you should forgive me because it's Christmas.

265
00:21:21,321 --> 00:21:23,490
This isn't about Caleb.

266
00:21:25,617 --> 00:21:26,660
It's about you.

267
00:21:27,995 --> 00:21:30,956
Everything is always about you.

268
00:21:32,082 --> 00:21:33,166
Girls…

269
00:21:33,917 --> 00:21:35,335
I do everything right

270
00:21:37,129 --> 00:21:38,964
and you are always the favorite.

271
00:21:39,965 --> 00:21:43,677
Mr. Edwards likes you best.
Romanzy and Edith too.

272
00:21:44,177 --> 00:21:46,346
Even mom and dad like you more.

273
00:21:47,139 --> 00:21:50,934
I worked all day
to do everything they asked of me,

274
00:21:51,018 --> 00:21:54,271
and they only care to know
if you are having a good Christmas.

275
00:21:56,106 --> 00:21:57,190
Girls, I…

276
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:00,235
Mom?

277
00:22:04,114 --> 00:22:05,198
The baby is coming.

278
00:22:22,466 --> 00:22:25,719
- I'm worried about the girls.
- They look good.

279
00:22:29,556 --> 00:22:30,640
It's too early.

280
00:22:32,017 --> 00:22:33,935
He wasn't due until a month from now.

281
00:22:34,770 --> 00:22:37,356
- Go call Dr. Tann.
- I'll stay here.

282
00:22:44,071 --> 00:22:46,448
I never did it without my sisters.

283
00:22:49,242 --> 00:22:50,911
I've never done this alone.

284
00:22:53,163 --> 00:22:54,164
You are not alone.

285
00:23:01,463 --> 00:23:04,716
I don't even know if I remember
on how to care for a newborn.

286
00:23:05,217 --> 00:23:09,054
You will remember.
And if not, we'll find out again.

287
00:23:09,888 --> 00:23:10,722
Together.

288
00:23:16,019 --> 00:23:19,106
- Maybe Dr. Tann will still come.
- Perhaps.

289
00:23:41,294 --> 00:23:43,338
Did you change your mind about the song?

290
00:23:51,012 --> 00:23:53,932
- Is he going to be okay?
- I hope so.

291
00:24:00,856 --> 00:24:03,733
- I owe you an apology.
- Why?

292
00:24:04,276 --> 00:24:07,112
I spent the day
pressuring you to celebrate.

293
00:24:09,739 --> 00:24:13,618
I thought you didn't want to go to the Ingalls
because of Mary,

294
00:24:15,162 --> 00:24:16,955
But it's more than that, right?

295
00:24:19,499 --> 00:24:22,669
Mary asked me
about a rumor he heard

296
00:24:23,712 --> 00:24:26,214
that my parents abandoned me here.

297
00:24:27,340 --> 00:24:29,801
It certainly wasn't bad, but...

298
00:24:31,511 --> 00:24:33,722
It was wrong for her to repeat such a thing.

299
00:24:34,222 --> 00:24:35,056
No.

300
00:24:38,643 --> 00:24:39,686
She's right.

301
00:24:46,943 --> 00:24:48,695
My mother hated my father.

302
00:24:48,778 --> 00:24:51,615
Said he was a drunk
and a swindler.

303
00:24:52,365 --> 00:24:55,243
But that didn't stop him from taking me west.

304
00:24:58,371 --> 00:25:03,335
We went to Labette. Along the way,
we fixed it and lost ten jobs.

305
00:25:07,214 --> 00:25:08,256
And then,

306
00:25:13,762 --> 00:25:15,180
One morning I woke up

307
00:25:17,474 --> 00:25:18,558
and he wasn't.

308
00:25:24,689 --> 00:25:28,360
I don't know if he got tired of me and ran away,

309
00:25:31,112 --> 00:25:32,948
or if you got drunk and drowned.

310
00:25:35,992 --> 00:25:37,118
I'm sorry.

311
00:25:39,663 --> 00:25:42,499
Someone your age
I shouldn't have to go through that.

312
00:25:44,709 --> 00:25:48,338
But I find it hard to believe
that your mother didn't want you.

313
00:25:49,130 --> 00:25:50,549
It didn't stay with me.

314
00:25:52,551 --> 00:25:54,511
One thing I'm sure of.

315
00:25:55,554 --> 00:25:59,266
I'm sorry about what happened, but...

316
00:26:01,768 --> 00:26:03,812
…you being here on the prairie…

317
00:26:06,022 --> 00:26:08,108
…it was a blessing for me.

318
00:26:23,832 --> 00:26:26,960
Everything is fine.
You're doing well. Breathe.

319
00:26:32,799 --> 00:26:33,717
Breathe.

320
00:26:34,467 --> 00:26:36,595
Cousin Charlie was born early

321
00:26:36,678 --> 00:26:39,764
and it was big, healthy
and strong as a bull.

322
00:26:42,142 --> 00:26:43,351
Mom will be fine.

323
00:26:44,185 --> 00:26:45,770
The baby will be born well.

324
00:26:47,188 --> 00:26:48,189
It's Christmas.

325
00:26:53,069 --> 00:26:56,740
What if the baby hates me as much as you do?

326
00:26:58,533 --> 00:26:59,951
I don't hate you.

327
00:27:00,035 --> 00:27:01,786
- You hate it, yes.
- No.

328
00:27:02,704 --> 00:27:04,122
You irritate me, that's all.

329
00:27:05,832 --> 00:27:09,878
Sometimes I wish I didn't have to be
good or perfect.

330
00:27:11,296 --> 00:27:13,798
You will understand
when you are a big sister.

331
00:27:14,799 --> 00:27:16,426
But I would never hate you.

332
00:27:18,178 --> 00:27:23,183
Do you know what my favorite Christmas was?
That year when there was so much snow

333
00:27:23,266 --> 00:27:26,061
that covered the large trunks
at grandmother's house,

334
00:27:26,853 --> 00:27:28,897
and we made a snow house

335
00:27:29,689 --> 00:27:31,941
with snow tables and chairs.

336
00:27:33,610 --> 00:27:38,615
And mom bought us hot milk with honey
and gingerbread cookies.

337
00:27:39,324 --> 00:27:42,160
We use the new gloves that Aunt Ruby made.

338
00:27:42,744 --> 00:27:46,331
And we spent the whole day inside, just us.

339
00:27:48,208 --> 00:27:49,042
That.

340
00:27:52,087 --> 00:27:53,088
I can't...

341
00:28:21,950 --> 00:28:25,203
The wind and snow were so strong
who couldn't see the road.

342
00:28:26,621 --> 00:28:27,956
It was foolish to go.

343
00:28:29,082 --> 00:28:31,793
Yes, it was foolish to put yourself in danger like that.

344
00:28:33,712 --> 00:28:35,338
It was foolish to run away.

345
00:29:04,617 --> 00:29:05,744
I know.

346
00:29:18,923 --> 00:29:21,092
- Is he okay?
- Is mom okay?

347
00:29:21,676 --> 00:29:22,802
Maria, Laura,

348
00:29:23,762 --> 00:29:25,513
Come meet your sister.

349
00:29:27,682 --> 00:29:29,017
Sister?

350
00:29:47,410 --> 00:29:48,995
We can call her Georgina.

351
00:29:51,998 --> 00:29:54,083
I think we should call her Caroline.

352
00:30:09,891 --> 00:30:11,309
Hello baby.

353
00:30:38,461 --> 00:30:40,046
I like your little eyes.

354
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,552
I don't know if they are blue or gray,
but I know they are perfect.

355
00:30:46,594 --> 00:30:48,680
I also like your nails.

356
00:30:49,305 --> 00:30:52,684
I have to praise you
for the excellent manners you showed

357
00:30:52,767 --> 00:30:54,686
when letting your mother sleep.

358
00:30:54,769 --> 00:30:55,812
Hello.

359
00:31:00,775 --> 00:31:01,985
Merry Christmas.

360
00:31:02,068 --> 00:31:03,528
Merry Christmas.

361
00:31:14,873 --> 00:31:17,208
Santa Claus didn't find us this year.

362
00:31:26,301 --> 00:31:27,302
You wanted a boy.

363
00:31:30,972 --> 00:31:31,931
No, not at all.

364
00:31:34,475 --> 00:31:36,477
It was the privilege of my life

365
00:31:37,228 --> 00:31:41,316
raise two brave girls,
kind and attentive.

366
00:31:44,903 --> 00:31:46,696
And she will be wonderful too.

367
00:31:48,615 --> 00:31:49,699
Look at her.

368
00:31:58,291 --> 00:31:59,584
She likes me.

369
00:32:00,627 --> 00:32:02,253
You can also talk to her.

370
00:32:04,589 --> 00:32:05,965
Talk about what?

371
00:32:07,342 --> 00:32:09,636
You've never run out of things to say.

372
00:32:16,225 --> 00:32:17,310
Hello.

373
00:32:17,894 --> 00:32:19,145
I'm Laura.

374
00:32:19,228 --> 00:32:22,106
I think you were my surprise gift.

375
00:32:25,818 --> 00:32:28,196
- We have nothing for her.
- It's okay.

376
00:32:28,279 --> 00:32:30,156
But it's her first Christmas.

377
00:32:30,740 --> 00:32:31,950
I'll get something.

378
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,123
I think you will have
two excellent older sisters.

379
00:32:43,086 --> 00:32:44,003
Can I see it now?

380
00:32:44,087 --> 00:32:45,713
No, not yet.

381
00:32:48,758 --> 00:32:49,759
Now.

382
00:32:56,849 --> 00:33:00,269
Mary and I took the reeds
for the back and seat.

383
00:33:00,770 --> 00:33:02,647
And the strings. See?

384
00:33:09,862 --> 00:33:10,905
Our!

385
00:33:15,576 --> 00:33:18,871
I don't think I ever had
such a comfortable chair.

386
00:33:25,837 --> 00:33:29,507
What if we let these two sleep?
Let's open the gifts.

387
00:33:39,767 --> 00:33:40,810
Thank you, dad.

388
00:33:41,352 --> 00:33:42,186
Thank you, dad.

389
00:33:45,648 --> 00:33:47,442
Then thank your mother too.

390
00:33:47,525 --> 00:33:50,737
Stayed up many nights
to surprise you.

391
00:33:51,237 --> 00:33:52,613
They're so pretty!

392
00:33:53,990 --> 00:33:57,577
I also have a gift for the baby.

393
00:34:00,955 --> 00:34:01,873
Thanks.

394
00:34:04,792 --> 00:34:06,794
I thought she would like the colors.

395
00:34:07,462 --> 00:34:08,504
It's beautiful.

396
00:34:08,588 --> 00:34:11,090
We can use my ribbons
to hang it in the crib,

397
00:34:11,174 --> 00:34:13,718
so she has something beautiful to see.

398
00:34:22,143 --> 00:34:23,561
Mr. Edwards!

399
00:34:23,644 --> 00:34:25,521
Sweet potatoes, as promised.

400
00:34:25,605 --> 00:34:29,275
- And he brought the mail.
- We thought he wasn't coming.

401
00:34:29,358 --> 00:34:30,985
It would have come yesterday,

402
00:34:31,069 --> 00:34:34,822
But I found a man on the prairie,
stuck in snowstorm.

403
00:34:35,823 --> 00:34:39,619
Fortunately, he had a red coat.
That's how I saw it.

404
00:34:39,702 --> 00:34:41,788
- Have you seen Santa Claus?
- I saw.

405
00:34:41,871 --> 00:34:44,540
He delivered gifts with his loyal bison.

406
00:34:44,624 --> 00:34:47,919
I spent all day taking it
to all houses on the list.

407
00:34:48,002 --> 00:34:51,422
And at sunset he asked:

408
00:34:51,506 --> 00:34:54,133
"You meet two girls
called Mary and Laura?"

409
00:34:54,967 --> 00:34:59,263
"Mary and Laura Ingalls?" And I: "Of course."
So Santa Claus asked me

410
00:34:59,764 --> 00:35:04,310
for me to deliver these gifts.

411
00:35:09,565 --> 00:35:10,399
Thanks.

412
00:35:12,068 --> 00:35:15,154
He thought they needed
where to store the treasures.

413
00:35:16,823 --> 00:35:18,449
- Thanks.
- Thanks.

414
00:35:19,659 --> 00:35:21,035
I changed my mind.

415
00:35:22,078 --> 00:35:24,038
This is my favorite Christmas.

416
00:35:27,083 --> 00:35:29,127
We also have a surprise.

417
00:35:30,419 --> 00:35:32,547
Meet Caroline Ingalls.

418
00:35:39,971 --> 00:35:41,222
Caroline.

419
00:35:42,473 --> 00:35:45,685
It's a very big name
for such a small thing.

420
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,482
I think I'll call you Carrie.

421
00:36:05,079 --> 00:36:06,455
Mine has a coin!

422
00:36:06,539 --> 00:36:09,625
Mine too.
I'm going to buy mint lollipops.

423
00:36:12,420 --> 00:36:14,672
RETURN HOME

424
00:36:14,755 --> 00:36:17,008
FOR THE TRAIN

425
00:36:17,091 --> 00:36:19,343
WITH LOVE, ELIZA

426
00:36:25,474 --> 00:36:26,559
Is everything okay?

427
00:36:31,731 --> 00:36:34,525
my sister
sent us the money for the plow.

428
00:36:35,985 --> 00:36:37,820
After all, magic really exists.

429
00:36:39,113 --> 00:36:40,072
It seems so.

430
00:36:44,410 --> 00:36:48,164
Hear the angels singing

431
00:36:48,247 --> 00:36:51,918
Glory to the King who has just been born

432
00:36:52,001 --> 00:36:55,713
Peace on Earth and mercy

433
00:36:55,796 --> 00:36:59,467
God and sinners reconciled

434
00:36:59,550 --> 00:37:03,262
Rejoice, all nations

435
00:37:03,346 --> 00:37:05,890
Join the triumph of the heavens

436
00:37:05,973 --> 00:37:07,058
Merry Christmas.

437
00:37:07,141 --> 00:37:09,227
With the angelic choir

438
00:37:09,310 --> 00:37:10,853
Merry Christmas.

439
00:37:10,937 --> 00:37:14,440
Christ was born in Bethlehem

440
00:37:14,523 --> 00:37:16,692
Hear the angels singing...

441
00:37:16,776 --> 00:37:20,738
Ten fingers and toes.
Two healthy lungs.

442
00:37:20,821 --> 00:37:22,448
Glory to the newborn King

443
00:37:39,048 --> 00:37:40,091
A CHRISTMAS TALE

444
00:37:45,346 --> 00:37:46,973
Enjoy.

445
00:37:47,765 --> 00:37:49,141
Fortunately.

446
00:37:52,937 --> 00:37:54,855
It's Christmas, and we're all full.

447
00:37:58,234 --> 00:38:00,569
- Satisfied?
- Yes, he's snoring.

448
00:38:01,237 --> 00:38:02,947
- Yes.
- How many have you eaten?

449
00:38:03,030 --> 00:38:04,490
- Too many.
- It's Christmas.

450
00:38:04,573 --> 00:38:05,408
He's furious.

451
00:38:05,491 --> 00:38:07,410
I love tree decorations.

452
00:38:07,493 --> 00:38:08,494
They're beautiful.

453
00:38:08,995 --> 00:38:10,329
Do you remember when…

454
00:38:10,413 --> 00:38:12,999
The best Christmas dinner I've ever had.

455
00:38:13,082 --> 00:38:14,917
Unbelievable. We have evolved a lot.

456
00:38:16,794 --> 00:38:18,796
We have lots of popcorn on the fire.

457
00:38:18,879 --> 00:38:20,715
Let's eat more.

458
00:39:55,851 --> 00:40:00,856
