Okay people, let's go.

8
00:00:21,456 --> 00:00:23,240
That's great.

9
00:00:23,284 --> 00:00:24,937
We're gonna need like 10 more
bottles of champagne, okay?

10
00:00:26,722 --> 00:00:28,854
Those are perfect.

11
00:00:28,898 --> 00:00:31,901
Perfect, beautiful, stunning,
I love it.

12
00:00:31,944 --> 00:00:34,251
Okay, let's go.

13
00:00:40,083 --> 00:00:41,650
Does that Santa inflate
on its own?

14
00:00:43,130 --> 00:00:45,132
Perfect.

15
00:00:45,175 --> 00:00:47,743
Bad or brilliant, we'll know
in a few minutes.

16
00:00:47,786 --> 00:00:49,179
Mistle-Toe Corporate CEO.

17
00:00:49,223 --> 00:00:51,573
We are so very proud
of you, Claire.

18
00:00:51,616 --> 00:00:54,445
I really think this gamble
is gonna pay off.

19
00:00:54,489 --> 00:00:56,143
Well you know,
Mistletoe's a great company

20
00:00:56,186 --> 00:00:58,058
and I think people are gonna
want a piece of it.

21
00:00:58,101 --> 00:01:00,625
Who'd known that an
online mani petty service

22
00:01:00,669 --> 00:01:03,193
would turn out to be such
a lucrative venture?

23
00:01:03,237 --> 00:01:04,629
All because of you.

24
00:01:05,630 --> 00:01:07,719
Call me when the clients
get here.

25
00:01:07,763 --> 00:01:10,592
We expect you to make us
a lot of money today.

26
00:01:10,635 --> 00:01:11,854
The company took off
overnight

27
00:01:11,897 --> 00:01:14,204
and has grown into a nationwide
service,

28
00:01:14,248 --> 00:01:16,728
but I'm still not sure about the
timing of this endeavor.

29
00:01:16,772 --> 00:01:20,123
Okay people, fasten your
seat belts, here we go.

30
00:01:22,604 --> 00:01:23,996
- And we off to the races.
- Okay, it's moving.

31
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:25,259
I have to say they've set-

32
00:01:25,302 --> 00:01:26,608
It's moving people!

33
00:01:26,651 --> 00:01:28,044
- at the high end
of the spectrum.

34
00:01:28,088 --> 00:01:30,264
I expected to see more movement
up front.

35
00:01:30,307 --> 00:01:31,656
Have they topped out
already?

36
00:01:31,700 --> 00:01:33,702
We're not even five minutes
into the session.

37
00:01:33,745 --> 00:01:35,182
There's not a lot of
competition today.

38
00:01:35,225 --> 00:01:37,097
No.

39
00:01:37,140 --> 00:01:39,490
We've discussed this before,
it's important to take-

40
00:01:39,534 --> 00:01:40,665
No, no.

41
00:01:40,709 --> 00:01:41,753
early in their lives.

42
00:01:41,797 --> 00:01:43,015
But is it too early?

43
00:01:43,059 --> 00:01:45,540
Maybe Mistle-Toe isn't
IPO ready?

44
00:01:45,583 --> 00:01:47,019
Look, they're dropping.

45
00:01:47,063 --> 00:01:48,630
Not a good sign so early.

46
00:01:48,673 --> 00:01:51,589
Clients aren't coming.

47
00:01:51,633 --> 00:01:56,507
The clients aren't coming!

48
00:02:11,609 --> 00:02:12,784
Suz.

49
00:02:12,828 --> 00:02:13,959
Hey, I've been leaving
messages.

50
00:02:14,003 --> 00:02:14,830
I just figured you were
out celebrating.

51
00:02:14,873 --> 00:02:16,527
What happened?

52
00:02:16,571 --> 00:02:18,486
You didn't post anything.

53
00:02:22,229 --> 00:02:23,273
Oh no.

54
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,450
Okay, your place, one hour.

55
00:02:26,494 --> 00:02:27,582
Okay.

56
00:02:44,251 --> 00:02:46,470
Honey, I'm so sorry.

57
00:02:46,514 --> 00:02:49,343
I know how much you were
counting on that IPO.

58
00:02:49,386 --> 00:02:52,868
Crash and burn does not
even begin to describe it.

59
00:02:52,911 --> 00:02:54,304
What's with the tree?

60
00:02:54,348 --> 00:02:55,740
Oh well,
I knew that you

61
00:02:55,784 --> 00:02:57,394
wouldn't have a shred of
Christmas around here.

62
00:02:57,438 --> 00:02:59,875
So monochromatic holiday cheer.

63
00:03:02,791 --> 00:03:04,140
I'm gonna make you some food.

64
00:03:06,751 --> 00:03:08,840
You know there was
a little voice in my head

65
00:03:08,884 --> 00:03:12,148
that kept saying don't do this
on Black Friday.

66
00:03:12,192 --> 00:03:13,541
The market is too distracted,

67
00:03:13,584 --> 00:03:15,238
but all of the analytics
that I ran

68
00:03:15,282 --> 00:03:16,587
just said go for it.

69
00:03:17,675 --> 00:03:18,937
You know?

70
00:03:18,981 --> 00:03:20,635
Why didn't I just listen
to my instincts?

71
00:03:20,678 --> 00:03:24,291
Okay, sweetie,

72
00:03:24,334 --> 00:03:25,988
there is no food in this house.

73
00:03:26,031 --> 00:03:27,468
I know, I'm never here.

74
00:03:27,511 --> 00:03:29,644
You need a break, sis.

75
00:03:29,687 --> 00:03:31,167
When was the last time that
you went anywhere

76
00:03:31,211 --> 00:03:32,734
that did not involve work?

77
00:03:32,777 --> 00:03:33,648
Hm?

78
00:03:37,304 --> 00:03:38,392
Okay, if you can't
remember,

79
00:03:38,435 --> 00:03:39,828
then it's been too long.

80
00:03:39,871 --> 00:03:42,004
HR has been on me to use
up all the time

81
00:03:42,047 --> 00:03:44,136
I've accumulated.

82
00:03:44,180 --> 00:03:45,921
I think I have like a month
saved up.

83
00:03:50,317 --> 00:03:51,622
Do you remember that place mom

84
00:03:51,666 --> 00:03:54,408
was always gonna take us
as kids in Vermont?

85
00:03:56,148 --> 00:03:57,759
Ghastly something.

86
00:03:57,802 --> 00:03:59,064
Glastenbury.

87
00:04:00,762 --> 00:04:02,938
Okay, so when I
suggested a vacation

88
00:04:02,981 --> 00:04:04,853
I was thinking St. Barts.

89
00:04:07,334 --> 00:04:09,510
I wonder if I could book
something this last minute?

90
00:04:11,163 --> 00:04:13,165
It looks like Christmas
on steroids.

91
00:04:13,209 --> 00:04:16,038
Well, mom said
it was enchanted.

92
00:04:17,735 --> 00:04:19,650
I remember her talking about
this Christmas Festival

93
00:04:19,694 --> 00:04:21,652
they had and they would
line the streets

94
00:04:21,696 --> 00:04:23,306
with luminaries all month.

95
00:04:23,350 --> 00:04:25,047
I'm sorry, luma,
luma what?

96
00:04:25,090 --> 00:04:26,788
You know, there's those
little paper bags

97
00:04:26,831 --> 00:04:28,398
you put sand and candles in.

98
00:04:28,442 --> 00:04:30,270
Okay that just sounds
like a fire hazard.

99
00:04:30,313 --> 00:04:33,360
Oh my god, this is the
same place as mom's picture.

100
00:04:34,970 --> 00:04:38,365
They rent the apartment and you
get to run the bookstore

101
00:04:38,408 --> 00:04:41,324
on the 1st floor, how
great is that?

102
00:04:42,717 --> 00:04:44,806
I'm sorry, it looks
like Hogwarts.

103
00:04:44,849 --> 00:04:47,287
Stop it, you're just
seeing what you want,

104
00:04:47,330 --> 00:04:49,158
don't, no.

105
00:04:49,201 --> 00:04:50,942
Have an open mind here, okay?

106
00:04:52,509 --> 00:04:56,165
Look, they have availability,
it's perfect.

107
00:04:56,208 --> 00:04:57,775
Come on, you're always on me

108
00:04:57,819 --> 00:04:59,255
for not celebrating the
holidays.

109
00:04:59,299 --> 00:05:02,432
It does not get more Christmassy
than this.

110
00:05:02,476 --> 00:05:03,999
Okay, so you're gonna
go all the way to Vermont

111
00:05:04,042 --> 00:05:06,349
to celebrate Christmas
by yourself?

112
00:05:07,132 --> 00:05:09,004
Freddie and Bill want you here,
I want you here.

113
00:05:09,047 --> 00:05:13,356
I know, I know, Suz,
but you have your family

114
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,751
and I always feel like
a 3rd wheel.

115
00:05:16,794 --> 00:05:18,753
I promise I'm gonna come back
for Christmas dinner.

116
00:05:18,796 --> 00:05:20,145
Okay?

117
00:05:21,451 --> 00:05:22,365
It just doesn't make
sense.

118
00:05:22,409 --> 00:05:23,888
How are they not booked?

119
00:05:23,932 --> 00:05:26,717
I've had a horrible day.

120
00:05:26,761 --> 00:05:28,502
It's been a terrible year.

121
00:05:29,764 --> 00:05:31,461
And I miss mom.

122
00:05:35,944 --> 00:05:39,643
Don't they make those
creepy Christmas gnomes there?

123
00:05:39,687 --> 00:05:41,645
They're not creepy,
they're cute.

124
00:05:42,994 --> 00:05:44,039
You are gonna be bored
to death.

125
00:05:44,082 --> 00:05:45,954
I give you one week, okay?

126
00:05:45,997 --> 00:05:47,390
One week.

127
00:05:59,446 --> 00:06:00,490
Hi.

128
00:06:00,534 --> 00:06:01,317
Hey, I'm Ernie.

129
00:06:01,361 --> 00:06:02,405
Hi.

130
00:06:02,449 --> 00:06:03,275
You heading to town?

131
00:06:03,319 --> 00:06:04,102
Ah, the Fortenbury.

132
00:06:04,146 --> 00:06:05,365
Of course.

133
00:06:05,408 --> 00:06:06,453
Thank you.

134
00:06:09,456 --> 00:06:12,284
Is it Ernie like It's A
Wonderful Life Ernie?

135
00:06:12,328 --> 00:06:14,461
I don't know if that's
what my mom was going for,

136
00:06:14,504 --> 00:06:15,679
but she sure loved the movie.

137
00:06:17,159 --> 00:06:18,900
So are you here visiting
friends?

138
00:06:19,901 --> 00:06:22,556
No, I'm taking a break
from work.

139
00:06:23,992 --> 00:06:26,734
Couldn't think of better place
to escape to.

140
00:06:28,997 --> 00:06:30,172
Shall we?

141
00:06:30,215 --> 00:06:31,391
Yeah.

142
00:06:31,434 --> 00:06:32,479
Thanks.

143
00:06:36,047 --> 00:06:37,135
Thank you.

144
00:06:41,052 --> 00:06:43,751
So has the Christmas Festival
started yet?

145
00:06:43,794 --> 00:06:45,753
Fortenbury didn't
tell you?

146
00:06:45,796 --> 00:06:47,015
Tell me what?

147
00:06:47,058 --> 00:06:48,625
The festival's canceled
this year.

148
00:06:48,669 --> 00:06:50,453
What?

149
00:06:50,497 --> 00:06:53,500
What, no, no, there's supposed
to be Christmas windows

150
00:06:53,543 --> 00:06:57,286
and sleigh rides and what about
the luminarias,

151
00:06:57,329 --> 00:06:58,461
are they doing that?

152
00:06:58,505 --> 00:06:59,984
Canceled, canceled,
canceled,

153
00:07:00,028 --> 00:07:02,073
we had a big flood come up here
in the early fall.

154
00:07:02,117 --> 00:07:04,772
Wiped out all the businesses in
the upper village.

155
00:07:04,815 --> 00:07:06,208
Thankfully Main Street
was spared.

156
00:07:07,601 --> 00:07:09,559
I'm so sorry.

157
00:07:09,603 --> 00:07:10,604
I grew up here,

158
00:07:10,647 --> 00:07:11,996
I've never seen anything
like it.

159
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,477
It's really killed our
tourist trade.

160
00:07:14,521 --> 00:07:16,784
All the merchants decided not
to celebrate this year.

161
00:07:18,263 --> 00:07:19,700
So how long did you say
you were staying?

162
00:07:33,061 --> 00:07:36,499
Oh wow, this is lovely.

163
00:07:36,543 --> 00:07:38,414
Yeah, Fortenbury's
an institution,

164
00:07:38,458 --> 00:07:40,024
been here longer than
I can remember.

165
00:07:41,243 --> 00:07:42,853
Help you take your bags inside?

166
00:07:42,897 --> 00:07:45,334
No, that's okay,
but thank you.

167
00:07:48,990 --> 00:07:49,991
You must be
from New York.

168
00:07:50,034 --> 00:07:51,732
How can you tell?

169
00:07:51,775 --> 00:07:53,168
Nobody around here tips
like that.

170
00:07:53,211 --> 00:07:54,386
- Oh.
- Thanks.

171
00:07:54,430 --> 00:07:56,345
- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.

172
00:08:10,577 --> 00:08:11,752
Hello?

173
00:08:24,895 --> 00:08:25,983
Is anyone here?

174
00:08:27,637 --> 00:08:29,465
- Oh.
- Hi.

175
00:08:29,509 --> 00:08:31,075
I'm sorry, dear.

176
00:08:31,119 --> 00:08:33,730
I've had my ears turned off.

177
00:08:33,774 --> 00:08:35,166
I'm suppose to be able
to work them

178
00:08:35,210 --> 00:08:37,342
with this new-fangled phone that
my nephew gave me,

179
00:08:37,386 --> 00:08:41,129
but every time I try my hearing
aid dials 9-1-1.

180
00:08:41,869 --> 00:08:43,523
Oh.

181
00:08:43,566 --> 00:08:46,656
I'm Mary Tumilty,
everyone calls me Mrs. T,

182
00:08:46,700 --> 00:08:47,918
you must be Claire.

183
00:08:47,962 --> 00:08:49,703
Oh yes, it's nice
to meet you.

184
00:08:52,053 --> 00:08:54,316
Wow, okay, so this is
the bookstore?

185
00:08:55,839 --> 00:08:57,841
It's not what I expected.

186
00:08:59,147 --> 00:09:00,844
You're not at all what
I expected.

187
00:09:00,888 --> 00:09:02,411
Excuse me?

188
00:09:02,454 --> 00:09:04,935
Well most of our renters
are retired librarians

189
00:09:04,979 --> 00:09:08,025
or school teachers,
blue hairs like me.

190
00:09:08,069 --> 00:09:10,245
You burn like a bright light.

191
00:09:10,288 --> 00:09:11,681
Thank you.

192
00:09:11,725 --> 00:09:13,204
That's really sweet.

193
00:09:14,510 --> 00:09:18,558
You know you're website didn't
say anything

194
00:09:18,601 --> 00:09:21,299
about the Christmas Festival
being canceled.

195
00:09:21,343 --> 00:09:23,214
You should really update
your site.

196
00:09:23,258 --> 00:09:25,869
Oh sweetheart, I can
hardly update my hearing aid,

197
00:09:25,913 --> 00:09:27,305
much less the website.

198
00:09:27,349 --> 00:09:29,220
I'm sorry you're disappointed.

199
00:09:29,264 --> 00:09:30,308
It's okay.

200
00:09:30,352 --> 00:09:31,788
We're thrilled
to have you.

201
00:09:31,832 --> 00:09:33,094
Thank you.

202
00:09:33,137 --> 00:09:36,053
Well I work nine
to five generally

203
00:09:36,097 --> 00:09:38,012
and you will take over
after lunch,

204
00:09:38,055 --> 00:09:40,101
but nobody will care if
you quit by three.

205
00:09:41,972 --> 00:09:43,539
Uh what about nights
and weekends?

206
00:09:43,583 --> 00:09:45,802
Well if the spirit moves
you,

207
00:09:45,846 --> 00:09:48,631
but we don't expect many
customers.

208
00:09:48,675 --> 00:09:52,069
No, anybody who comes
in is usually lost.

209
00:09:52,113 --> 00:09:54,245
But this is very important.

210
00:09:54,289 --> 00:09:59,033
This is the registry that has
been signed since 1906.

211
00:09:59,076 --> 00:10:01,209
They write something nice
about Glastenbury

212
00:10:01,252 --> 00:10:02,776
and of course Fortenburys.

213
00:10:02,819 --> 00:10:04,865
Yeah, oh wow, okay,
yeah absolutely.

214
00:10:07,737 --> 00:10:10,610
There's not many customers
this fall, huh?

215
00:10:10,653 --> 00:10:12,176
No, after the flood
there were a lot

216
00:10:12,220 --> 00:10:13,787
of cancellations of bookings.

217
00:10:15,266 --> 00:10:17,486
You know nobody's in
a holiday mood,

218
00:10:17,529 --> 00:10:19,662
but we can always hope for
next year, right?

219
00:10:19,706 --> 00:10:21,229
Right.

220
00:10:21,272 --> 00:10:25,146
Let me get you
to your room.

221
00:10:25,189 --> 00:10:26,277
I can get it.

222
00:10:26,321 --> 00:10:28,105
Oh no, no,
it's all right.

223
00:10:28,149 --> 00:10:30,064
It's good for me.

224
00:10:30,107 --> 00:10:31,892
Move it or lose it, right?

225
00:10:33,241 --> 00:10:37,114
Now my nephew
owns the place.

226
00:10:39,639 --> 00:10:43,425
He has a forge out in
back of the store.

227
00:10:43,468 --> 00:10:47,298
Which was built by his great,
great grandfather in 1888

228
00:10:49,387 --> 00:10:52,477
when there was nothing but pine
trees around here.

229
00:10:52,521 --> 00:10:54,915
So if there's ever anything
that you need,

230
00:10:54,958 --> 00:10:57,569
you will find him out
in the back.

231
00:10:57,613 --> 00:10:58,832
Anything at all.

232
00:10:58,875 --> 00:11:01,704
It's what you young people
call a man cave.

233
00:11:01,748 --> 00:11:04,185
He makes things there.

234
00:11:04,228 --> 00:11:06,187
He makes things?

235
00:11:06,230 --> 00:11:07,188
Yes.

236
00:11:07,231 --> 00:11:08,842
What kind of things?

237
00:11:08,885 --> 00:11:11,105
Oh he feels more at
home with tools

238
00:11:11,148 --> 00:11:12,410
than he is with people.

239
00:11:16,066 --> 00:11:18,634
Oh my god.

240
00:11:18,678 --> 00:11:20,636
This is beautiful.

241
00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:22,507
This is exactly like I was
picturing it.

242
00:11:24,118 --> 00:11:27,338
Well I told Andrew it
needed some sprucing up.

243
00:11:27,382 --> 00:11:29,514
I wish he'd let me do the same
with the book store,

244
00:11:29,558 --> 00:11:33,127
but my nephew's not a fan of
Christmas any more.

245
00:11:33,170 --> 00:11:36,304
Well you obviously are.

246
00:11:36,347 --> 00:11:38,088
He thought the apartment
would be a good idea

247
00:11:38,132 --> 00:11:40,743
to raise some extra money
and I came up

248
00:11:40,787 --> 00:11:44,051
with the idea of the guest
managing the book store.

249
00:11:45,748 --> 00:11:47,707
Oh my god,
it's a reading nook.

250
00:11:49,012 --> 00:11:50,710
I've always wanted one of these.

251
00:11:51,972 --> 00:11:55,018
For afternoon naps
and romantic novels.

252
00:11:56,237 --> 00:11:58,543
You and I think alike,
I like it.

253
00:11:58,587 --> 00:11:59,980
Sleep well.

254
00:12:30,575 --> 00:12:33,274
No, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no.

255
00:12:33,317 --> 00:12:34,449
Oh no.

256
00:12:35,232 --> 00:12:36,494
Oh gross.

257
00:12:36,538 --> 00:12:37,539
Gross.

258
00:12:37,582 --> 00:12:38,714
Shoot.

259
00:13:01,258 --> 00:13:04,784
I'm sorry,
your door was open.

260
00:13:06,263 --> 00:13:07,612
I, this.

261
00:13:12,443 --> 00:13:14,358
I'm so sorry, I was just
trying to take a shower.

262
00:13:14,402 --> 00:13:15,838
Well I thought
I fixed this.

263
00:13:15,882 --> 00:13:17,753
See this is why we shouldn't be
renting this place.

264
00:13:17,797 --> 00:13:19,494
You hand me the channel locks
over there?

265
00:13:19,537 --> 00:13:20,669
I don't know
what that is.

266
00:13:20,712 --> 00:13:23,106
Oh my god, oh my god!

267
00:13:23,150 --> 00:13:24,804
- The bigger one.
- This one?

268
00:13:24,847 --> 00:13:27,241
Yeah, the big one.

269
00:13:27,284 --> 00:13:28,546
- Yeah, the big pliers.
- This one?

270
00:13:28,590 --> 00:13:30,244
- Yeah, yeah that's it.
- Okay.

271
00:13:32,159 --> 00:13:33,769
I'm Andrew.

272
00:13:33,813 --> 00:13:35,118
This is no way to greet a guest,
I'm sorry.

273
00:13:35,162 --> 00:13:36,859
I'm Claire.

274
00:13:36,903 --> 00:13:38,600
I re-piped the bathroom
last month,

275
00:13:38,643 --> 00:13:39,993
so I'm really not sure
what's going on.

276
00:13:41,733 --> 00:13:42,778
Everything's under control.

277
00:13:44,127 --> 00:13:45,868
Can you get a couple of towels
maybe.

278
00:13:45,912 --> 00:13:47,478
There we go.

279
00:13:47,522 --> 00:13:50,351
It should be safe to take
a shower now.

280
00:13:50,394 --> 00:13:51,656
Safe.

281
00:13:53,267 --> 00:13:54,746
Handle comes off again,
there's my number.

282
00:13:54,790 --> 00:13:55,704
Okay, thank you.

283
00:13:55,747 --> 00:13:56,618
Okay.

284
00:13:58,141 --> 00:14:00,752
Hey, where'd that painting
come from?

285
00:14:00,796 --> 00:14:02,102
Oh, my mom painted that.

286
00:14:02,145 --> 00:14:03,364
Really?

287
00:14:03,407 --> 00:14:04,191
Yeah, she came here
years ago,

288
00:14:04,234 --> 00:14:05,845
she loved Glastenbury.

289
00:14:06,802 --> 00:14:10,153
Wow, she really captured
the way it used to look.

290
00:14:10,197 --> 00:14:13,113
I remember those curtains from
when I was a kid.

291
00:14:13,156 --> 00:14:14,505
My mom sewed them.

292
00:14:15,071 --> 00:14:16,464
Your mom sewed those
curtains?

293
00:14:16,507 --> 00:14:18,379
Mm-hmm, yeah.
- Oh wow.

294
00:14:18,422 --> 00:14:20,076
It's a lost art.

295
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,384
Well, until the next disaster.

296
00:14:23,427 --> 00:14:26,256
- That's not funny.
- You'll be fine.

297
00:14:26,300 --> 00:14:27,605
Goodnight, Claire.

298
00:14:27,649 --> 00:14:29,390
Goodnight.

299
00:14:29,433 --> 00:14:30,695
Thank you.

300
00:15:10,300 --> 00:15:11,475
Oh!

301
00:15:14,783 --> 00:15:16,524
These macarons are
lovely.

302
00:15:16,567 --> 00:15:18,830
The sandwich cookies,
can I get you a dozen?

303
00:15:18,874 --> 00:15:20,571
Um no, no, that's okay.

304
00:15:20,615 --> 00:15:23,313
I would love a coffee though,
do you do coffee to go?

305
00:15:23,357 --> 00:15:24,314
Ah yeah.

306
00:15:24,358 --> 00:15:25,707
Great.

307
00:15:25,750 --> 00:15:27,404
I'd love a decaf Americana
with an extra shot

308
00:15:27,448 --> 00:15:29,450
and soy milk foam cap.

309
00:15:31,669 --> 00:15:33,280
Two black coffees decaf,

310
00:15:33,323 --> 00:15:34,629
creamer's on the way
out the door.

311
00:15:34,672 --> 00:15:37,762
Oh, okay.

312
00:15:37,806 --> 00:15:39,634
You're bakery is lovely.

313
00:15:39,677 --> 00:15:41,375
Those breads look fabulous.

314
00:15:41,418 --> 00:15:44,508
I would love to try a sample of
maybe the seeded rye.

315
00:15:44,552 --> 00:15:47,120
You eat 'em, you buy 'em.

316
00:15:48,425 --> 00:15:50,514
Oh come on, everybody
does samples.

317
00:15:50,558 --> 00:15:51,994
They're a great way to bring
in customers.

318
00:15:52,038 --> 00:15:53,039
We do just fine here.

319
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,217
I'm Claire, um I'm.

320
00:15:59,045 --> 00:16:00,394
Okay.

321
00:16:09,664 --> 00:16:10,578
Good morning.

322
00:16:11,579 --> 00:16:13,363
I brought us some coffees.

323
00:16:13,407 --> 00:16:14,364
God bless you, dear.

324
00:16:16,279 --> 00:16:18,455
Oh, so you've met Barb
across the way?

325
00:16:18,499 --> 00:16:20,153
Yes, not the
friendliest.

326
00:16:20,196 --> 00:16:22,459
Well, Vermonter's are
notoriously suspicious

327
00:16:22,503 --> 00:16:25,027
of outsiders, especially those
from New York.

328
00:16:25,071 --> 00:16:26,724
How can you tell?

329
00:16:26,768 --> 00:16:28,074
Your shoes.

330
00:16:28,117 --> 00:16:33,427
How do you walk in those
things anyway?

331
00:16:33,470 --> 00:16:35,037
Do you mind if I let
some light in?

332
00:16:36,430 --> 00:16:40,042
Of course, you're
the manager.

333
00:16:40,086 --> 00:16:41,565
Okay.

334
00:16:41,609 --> 00:16:43,393
How come there's no Christmas
decorations,

335
00:16:43,437 --> 00:16:45,352
not even a wreath in the window?

336
00:16:45,395 --> 00:16:46,614
Oh you should
have seen it

337
00:16:46,657 --> 00:16:49,530
when Andrew's folks were
still around.

338
00:16:49,573 --> 00:16:52,968
The trip to Glastenbury was
not complete

339
00:16:53,012 --> 00:16:55,231
unless you came to Fortenburys
to witness

340
00:16:55,275 --> 00:16:57,364
all the Christmas decorations.

341
00:16:57,407 --> 00:16:58,713
What happened?

342
00:16:58,756 --> 00:17:02,108
Andrew inherited quite
a responsibility,

343
00:17:02,151 --> 00:17:05,720
but God bless him, he keeps up
the family tradition.

344
00:17:09,985 --> 00:17:11,813
Do you think I can get
him to move these bookcases?

345
00:17:11,856 --> 00:17:13,684
Good luck with that.

346
00:17:13,728 --> 00:17:15,947
Doesn't he wanna fix the
place up for the holidays?

347
00:17:15,991 --> 00:17:18,428
Andrew has lost his
spirit.

348
00:17:18,472 --> 00:17:19,473
Really?

349
00:17:19,516 --> 00:17:20,604
For Christmas?

350
00:17:20,648 --> 00:17:22,041
For just about
everything.

351
00:17:26,958 --> 00:17:29,483
Why don't you relax, get the lay
of the land?

352
00:17:30,571 --> 00:17:32,529
Do you have a broom?

353
00:17:32,573 --> 00:17:35,445
- Maybe a dustpan or something.
- Not in those heels.

354
00:17:39,232 --> 00:17:39,884
I'm so sorry.

355
00:17:41,060 --> 00:17:42,452
I'm so, so sorry.

356
00:17:48,284 --> 00:17:49,720
What's going on in here?

357
00:17:49,764 --> 00:17:51,070
Isn't it great?

358
00:17:52,158 --> 00:17:53,594
She's only been here
a few hours,

359
00:17:53,637 --> 00:17:56,336
think what the rest of the month
will be like.

360
00:17:56,379 --> 00:17:57,772
Claire, we don't expect
our guests

361
00:17:57,815 --> 00:17:59,817
to reinvent the wheel during
their stay.

362
00:17:59,861 --> 00:18:01,906
You're on holiday,
enjoy yourself.

363
00:18:01,950 --> 00:18:03,560
I am.

364
00:18:03,604 --> 00:18:05,867
I was thinking we could do some
wreaths in the windows,

365
00:18:05,910 --> 00:18:07,434
maybe some garland and twinkly
lights.

366
00:18:07,477 --> 00:18:08,652
Can you help with that?

367
00:18:08,696 --> 00:18:10,872
I don't think so, no.

368
00:18:11,742 --> 00:18:13,918
Really, why?

369
00:18:13,962 --> 00:18:15,137
The bookstore's not
doing holiday decorations,

370
00:18:15,181 --> 00:18:16,878
nobody in town is.

371
00:18:16,921 --> 00:18:20,055
Oh just something, you
know like tasteful and elegant.

372
00:18:21,187 --> 00:18:22,579
It's freezing in here.

373
00:18:24,799 --> 00:18:26,714
We're wasting energy.

374
00:18:26,757 --> 00:18:29,934
The heat doesn't even
work so it doesn't matter.

375
00:18:29,978 --> 00:18:31,110
It's spring cleaning.

376
00:18:31,153 --> 00:18:32,546
It's December.

377
00:18:32,589 --> 00:18:35,157
Yeah, that's even
better.

378
00:18:35,201 --> 00:18:36,463
- It's better in December.
- Better in December.

379
00:18:40,380 --> 00:18:42,556
She talks a lot, doesn't she?

380
00:18:42,599 --> 00:18:44,645
She's full of ideas.

381
00:18:44,688 --> 00:18:47,169
But in all fairness, when was
the last time anyone

382
00:18:47,213 --> 00:18:49,258
showed this kind of interest
in the place?

383
00:18:49,302 --> 00:18:52,131
Hmm, I can't even
remember.

384
00:18:52,174 --> 00:18:53,871
But I don't like being told
what to do.

385
00:18:53,915 --> 00:18:55,351
Get off your high horse,
young man.

386
00:18:55,395 --> 00:18:56,700
Give the girl a chance.

387
00:18:58,180 --> 00:18:59,703
I can't believe the way
you talk to me.

388
00:19:01,052 --> 00:19:03,359
Listen to your auntie.

389
00:19:03,403 --> 00:19:05,100
She's looking out for you.

390
00:19:06,971 --> 00:19:08,364
You know I should
probably get a key

391
00:19:08,408 --> 00:19:10,540
for when I lock up myself.

392
00:19:10,584 --> 00:19:12,020
Well you can
check with Andrew.

393
00:19:13,195 --> 00:19:15,589
Do I have to?

394
00:19:15,632 --> 00:19:18,026
He just acts like everything
I ask is an imposition.

395
00:19:18,069 --> 00:19:19,462
He's harmless.

396
00:19:19,506 --> 00:19:21,247
He's all bark and no bite.

397
00:19:22,683 --> 00:19:24,641
You'd never know it was
the holidays.

398
00:19:24,685 --> 00:19:26,600
Oh you have to come back
next year.

399
00:19:27,818 --> 00:19:30,647
The festival leads up to
Midnight Madness

400
00:19:30,691 --> 00:19:34,085
and everybody comes out of the
street til the wee hours,

401
00:19:34,129 --> 00:19:36,131
shopping and partying

402
00:19:36,175 --> 00:19:38,873
and they have to bring in
extra generators

403
00:19:38,916 --> 00:19:42,093
to supply the electricity for
all of the Christmas lights.

404
00:19:42,137 --> 00:19:43,791
It's wonderful, wonderful.

405
00:19:46,185 --> 00:19:48,883
Don't you find it kind
of depressing?

406
00:19:48,926 --> 00:19:50,406
Well do something
about it, dear.

407
00:19:50,450 --> 00:19:52,365
You're here for a another month.

408
00:19:52,408 --> 00:19:53,670
That's true.

409
00:20:16,824 --> 00:20:20,436
♪ Inside all the children
are a singing ♪

410
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,918

418
00:21:27,460 --> 00:21:28,983
Excuse me.

419
00:21:29,026 --> 00:21:31,507
Mrs. T said that I could come
and get a key from you.

420
00:21:34,249 --> 00:21:36,338
I'm sorry, do you make these?

421
00:21:36,382 --> 00:21:37,731
Yeah.

422
00:21:37,774 --> 00:21:38,993
It's my hobby.

423
00:21:42,910 --> 00:21:44,303
These are beautiful.

424
00:21:46,435 --> 00:21:48,742
Kids in town call them
reindeer bells.

425
00:21:48,785 --> 00:21:51,005
We used to sell them in
the bookstore.

426
00:21:51,048 --> 00:21:53,094
You used to sell them.

427
00:21:53,137 --> 00:21:54,748
These are perfect Christmas
items.

428
00:21:54,791 --> 00:21:56,793
We should put them all
over the shelves.

429
00:21:56,837 --> 00:21:58,708
No one's gonna buy 'em,
Claire.

430
00:21:58,752 --> 00:21:59,796
No, you're wrong.

431
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:01,145
These are incredible.

432
00:22:01,972 --> 00:22:04,584
The craftsmanship is amazing.

433
00:22:04,627 --> 00:22:06,281
Where did you learn to do this?

434
00:22:07,413 --> 00:22:08,327
My uncle Ned.

435
00:22:09,415 --> 00:22:11,939
Mary's late husband.

436
00:22:11,982 --> 00:22:14,681
He was the best blacksmith
in Vermont.

437
00:22:14,724 --> 00:22:17,553
He learned from his father,
it's kind of a family thing.

438
00:22:17,597 --> 00:22:20,382
And I'm gonna pass it
on some day.

439
00:22:32,916 --> 00:22:34,701
You needed a key to
the bookstore.

440
00:22:35,876 --> 00:22:38,095
- Right, okay.
- Yeah.

441
00:22:38,139 --> 00:22:39,532
Let's see here.

442
00:22:42,317 --> 00:22:44,450
Guests are forever losing these.

443
00:22:45,886 --> 00:22:47,714
Why don't I give you
one of these?

444
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:50,586
Really?

445
00:22:51,935 --> 00:22:53,023
Yeah.

446
00:22:55,635 --> 00:22:56,418
For me?

447
00:22:56,462 --> 00:22:59,465
Oh wow, thank you.

448
00:22:59,508 --> 00:23:02,250
Oh my gosh, I have to take
a picture of this.

449
00:23:02,293 --> 00:23:04,513
What are you doing?

450
00:23:04,557 --> 00:23:05,601
I'm just gonna post
it on social-

451
00:23:05,645 --> 00:23:06,689
No, no, no picture.

452
00:23:08,169 --> 00:23:09,562
No, no, no, it's good
for business.

453
00:23:10,824 --> 00:23:13,130
The bookstore is doing
just fine.

454
00:23:13,174 --> 00:23:14,784
Yeah, we had one
customer today

455
00:23:14,828 --> 00:23:17,091
and all she was looking
for was gas.

456
00:23:18,005 --> 00:23:19,093
You're a guest here,
you know,

457
00:23:19,136 --> 00:23:20,964
you don't have to do any
of this, Claire.

458
00:23:21,008 --> 00:23:23,140
I know, I'm just trying
to help.

459
00:23:23,184 --> 00:23:24,707
We don't need help.

460
00:23:25,882 --> 00:23:27,275
Okay.

461
00:23:28,363 --> 00:23:29,582
- Thanks.
- Yeah.

462
00:23:32,498 --> 00:23:33,847
Each item on the list

463
00:23:33,890 --> 00:23:35,588
will enhance the customer
shopping experience.

464
00:23:39,069 --> 00:23:41,811
You wanna have an open
house and cocktail reception?

465
00:23:41,855 --> 00:23:43,160
Mm-hmm.

466
00:23:43,204 --> 00:23:44,727
I majored in marketing before
I got my MBA

467
00:23:44,771 --> 00:23:46,381
and I specialize in
merchandising.

468
00:23:46,425 --> 00:23:47,948
I know about these things.

469
00:23:47,991 --> 00:23:49,558
- Really?
- Yes.

470
00:23:49,602 --> 00:23:51,995
And I want your sleigh bells
all over the shelves,

471
00:23:52,039 --> 00:23:54,824
especially the ones with
leather braids.

472
00:23:54,868 --> 00:23:56,391
They're great impulse buys.

473
00:23:56,435 --> 00:23:58,219
Look, I have a plan for
the bookstores future

474
00:23:58,262 --> 00:24:00,221
and it doesn't include cocktail
parties, okay?

475
00:24:00,264 --> 00:24:02,092
But why not?

476
00:24:03,050 --> 00:24:04,747
Claire, the ski resorts
are 40 minutes away.

477
00:24:04,791 --> 00:24:06,749
You could be on the slopes
having the time of your life.

478
00:24:06,793 --> 00:24:08,925
Okay, let's negotiate
the terms.

479
00:24:08,969 --> 00:24:10,231
Excuse me?

480
00:24:10,274 --> 00:24:11,406
Every item you take
off the list,

481
00:24:11,450 --> 00:24:12,755
you agree to help me with
one that I want.

482
00:24:12,799 --> 00:24:14,104
It's my bookstore,

483
00:24:14,148 --> 00:24:15,758
why would I want to negotiate
against myself?

484
00:24:15,802 --> 00:24:17,020
Because I'm here
for a month.

485
00:24:19,849 --> 00:24:22,330
Mm-hmm, yes you are.

486
00:24:26,900 --> 00:24:28,249
No.

487
00:24:28,292 --> 00:24:29,337
No.

488
00:24:29,380 --> 00:24:30,338
- No.
- Stop it.

489
00:24:30,381 --> 00:24:32,166
Those are great.

490
00:24:32,209 --> 00:24:34,995
- Absolutely not, what--
- I don't understand that.

491
00:24:35,038 --> 00:24:36,605
- Well it's a fire hazard.
- It's not a fire--

492
00:24:36,649 --> 00:24:39,086
Yes it is.

493
00:24:39,129 --> 00:24:40,479
Okay, maybe.

494
00:24:42,350 --> 00:24:43,612
Great.

495
00:24:44,874 --> 00:24:46,528
I have five more.

496
00:24:46,572 --> 00:24:49,923
- What?
- Yeah.

497
00:24:49,966 --> 00:24:52,142
We're having an open house at
the bookstore tomorrow night.

498
00:24:52,186 --> 00:24:54,536
No one holds night hours
any more.

499
00:24:54,580 --> 00:24:55,885
Well we are.

500
00:24:55,929 --> 00:24:58,627
And I was wondering if you
do custom orders?

501
00:24:58,671 --> 00:25:01,543
- Yeah, sure.
- Great.

502
00:25:01,587 --> 00:25:05,547
Could you do these macarons
or the sandwich cookies

503
00:25:05,591 --> 00:25:09,116
in red and green and maybe with
some sparkle or something?

504
00:25:09,159 --> 00:25:11,118
- How many?
- Three dozen.

505
00:25:14,991 --> 00:25:16,427
This is like water
torture.

506
00:25:17,646 --> 00:25:19,648
I've been posting
all morning.

507
00:25:19,692 --> 00:25:20,736
Stop worrying.

508
00:25:23,043 --> 00:25:26,176
Wrong hours, wrong
books, wrong drinks,

509
00:25:26,220 --> 00:25:28,091
and wrong food.

510
00:25:29,963 --> 00:25:31,965
This isn't even Vermont cheese.

511
00:25:32,008 --> 00:25:33,096
All right, this might be fine

512
00:25:33,140 --> 00:25:34,620
for your upper east
side friends,

513
00:25:34,663 --> 00:25:36,665
but not gonna cut it here.

514
00:25:36,709 --> 00:25:38,928
I'm telling you, we're
gonna be mobbed, okay?

515
00:25:38,972 --> 00:25:41,104
Just trust me, I do this
for a living.

516
00:25:47,284 --> 00:25:49,069
It's a ghost town
out there.

517
00:25:49,112 --> 00:25:50,418
She's heartbroken.

518
00:25:52,420 --> 00:25:54,596
Hey, these
are pretty good.

519
00:25:55,423 --> 00:25:57,338
Then go tell her.

520
00:25:58,121 --> 00:26:00,341
You act like you don't want
her to succeed.

521
00:26:00,384 --> 00:26:02,691
You act like you don't want the
bookstore to succeed.

522
00:26:02,735 --> 00:26:05,259
No, no, that's not it,
aunt Mary,

523
00:26:05,302 --> 00:26:09,655
it's just she's not making this
any easier for me.

524
00:26:09,698 --> 00:26:10,786
What are you talking
about?

525
00:26:23,451 --> 00:26:25,105
So,

526
00:26:25,148 --> 00:26:27,586
what'd you put in these crazy
holiday drinks you made?

527
00:26:27,629 --> 00:26:28,674
They're good.

528
00:26:30,371 --> 00:26:33,026
They're cranberry juice,
vodka, and bitters.

529
00:26:35,115 --> 00:26:36,595
I made my own bitters.

530
00:26:37,857 --> 00:26:39,162
Where'd you learn
to do that?

531
00:26:40,599 --> 00:26:42,296
I put myself through
grad school

532
00:26:42,339 --> 00:26:44,733
working as a bartender.

533
00:26:44,777 --> 00:26:46,953
Well you are just
full of surprises.

534
00:26:48,955 --> 00:26:49,956
I totally blew it,

535
00:26:49,999 --> 00:26:53,568
I didn't read the market place.

536
00:26:53,612 --> 00:26:55,352
Why do you beat yourself
up like that?

537
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,270
I'm so sorry we wasted
all this food.

538
00:27:00,314 --> 00:27:02,882
No, no, no, no, no, we
don't waste food around here.

539
00:27:03,839 --> 00:27:04,753
I'll take care of it.

540
00:27:06,712 --> 00:27:09,018
What do you mean, what
are you going to do with it?

541
00:27:09,062 --> 00:27:10,933
You can come with
if you want.

Oh Andy.

555
00:27:57,937 --> 00:27:59,634
- Good to see ya.
- Good to see ya.

556
00:27:59,678 --> 00:28:01,157
Luke, this is Claire Clayson,
she's running renting the room

557
00:28:01,201 --> 00:28:02,593
above the bookstore for a month.

558
00:28:02,637 --> 00:28:04,900
- Nice to meet you.
- Hi, how you doing?

559
00:28:04,944 --> 00:28:07,294
Who is this handsome boy?

560
00:28:07,337 --> 00:28:09,688
That's Dash,
short for Dasher.

561
00:28:09,731 --> 00:28:12,212
He's a rescue, we found him
last Christmas Eve.

562
00:28:12,255 --> 00:28:14,431
- Hi.
- Well, he found us.

563
00:28:14,475 --> 00:28:17,304
Awe, I used to have
a dog when I was a kid.

564
00:28:17,347 --> 00:28:19,741
He was my best buddy.

565
00:28:19,785 --> 00:28:21,961
I wish I could have one now,
but I'm always at work.

566
00:28:23,571 --> 00:28:25,051
What's with all the
boxes, Luke?

567
00:28:25,094 --> 00:28:28,358
Oh, Chewy donated packages
to our food pantry,

568
00:28:28,402 --> 00:28:30,752
so we give the pet food
to the homeless

569
00:28:30,796 --> 00:28:31,622
for their animals.

570
00:28:31,666 --> 00:28:33,233
That's fantastic.

571
00:28:33,276 --> 00:28:35,626
And it looks like Chewy
gave us a Christmas card.

572
00:28:36,627 --> 00:28:38,325
Your choir sounded
wonderful tonight.

573
00:28:38,368 --> 00:28:39,935
It was the first time it felt
like Christmas

574
00:28:39,979 --> 00:28:41,110
since I got here.

575
00:28:41,154 --> 00:28:42,198
Of course the town
might not wanna

576
00:28:42,242 --> 00:28:43,373
celebrate Christmas this year,

577
00:28:43,417 --> 00:28:45,158
but in this house we're
going all out.

578
00:28:46,725 --> 00:28:48,422
We had a little misfire
at the bookstore tonight,

579
00:28:48,465 --> 00:28:51,991
but Claire had the brilliant
idea of donating our food.

580
00:28:52,034 --> 00:28:53,949
Well, thanks Claire.

581
00:28:53,993 --> 00:28:56,082
We're a small town, but we have
a homeless problem

582
00:28:56,125 --> 00:28:58,214
just like any other city
in America.

583
00:28:58,258 --> 00:29:00,390
Macarons, nice.

584
00:29:02,218 --> 00:29:03,524
Thank you.

585
00:29:05,308 --> 00:29:07,223
You'll have to excuse
Luke here, he's a new dad.

586
00:29:07,267 --> 00:29:08,747
Oh.

587
00:29:08,790 --> 00:29:10,313
A very sleep deprived
new dad actually.

588
00:29:10,357 --> 00:29:11,924
What do you have,
a boy or a girl?

589
00:29:11,967 --> 00:29:13,664
A little girl, Mable.

590
00:29:15,754 --> 00:29:18,365
And a pair of lungs you
wouldn't believe.

591
00:29:18,408 --> 00:29:19,453
And as soon as she learns
how to walk,

592
00:29:19,496 --> 00:29:21,585
she's gonna be in that choir.

593
00:29:21,629 --> 00:29:22,935
Well we will get out
of your hair.

594
00:29:22,978 --> 00:29:24,153
We'll let you get back to work.

595
00:29:24,197 --> 00:29:25,938
Okay, well thanks
for coming in

596
00:29:25,981 --> 00:29:27,026
and thank you so much
for the food.

597
00:29:27,069 --> 00:29:28,810
Of course.

598
00:29:28,854 --> 00:29:30,203
Any time you wanna come
back and help the church out,

599
00:29:30,246 --> 00:29:32,814
- you're more than welcome.
- Yeah, thank you.

600
00:29:32,858 --> 00:29:34,424
You should come by the bookstore

601
00:29:34,468 --> 00:29:37,384
because we're gonna have a 20%
off sale for the holidays.

602
00:29:37,427 --> 00:29:38,689
We are?

603
00:29:38,733 --> 00:29:41,214
Oh yeah, I thought
I told you.

604
00:29:44,957 --> 00:29:46,697
Well she's amazing.

605
00:29:46,741 --> 00:29:49,613
Yeah, yeah, she's got
a great eye for business.

606
00:29:49,657 --> 00:29:51,528
I wasn't talking about
the bookstore, Andy.

607
00:29:55,445 --> 00:29:57,230
I still don't understand
why we're doing this.

608
00:29:57,273 --> 00:29:58,405
It's probably been here
for 50 years.

609
00:29:58,448 --> 00:30:00,102
Because it's bad
fengshui.

610
00:30:00,146 --> 00:30:01,800
I wanna put it over there.

611
00:30:01,843 --> 00:30:03,192
You must be some kind
of bigshot at work

612
00:30:03,236 --> 00:30:05,281
because you sure are good
at giving orders.

613
00:30:06,587 --> 00:30:07,936
I'm a venture
capitalist.

614
00:30:07,980 --> 00:30:10,069
Don't you mean a vulture
capitalist?

615
00:30:10,112 --> 00:30:12,245
I'm more like
a guardian angel.

616
00:30:12,288 --> 00:30:16,162
I save companies and put money
back into them,

617
00:30:16,205 --> 00:30:17,816
pay off their debts,
set up IPOs,

618
00:30:17,859 --> 00:30:19,426
you know, that kinda thing.

619
00:30:19,469 --> 00:30:22,081
Okay, Mrs. Guardian
Angel,

620
00:30:22,124 --> 00:30:25,432
use your heavenly powers
and let's all push, huh?

621
00:30:25,475 --> 00:30:27,434
- I'll help.
- Okay.

622
00:30:27,477 --> 00:30:28,696
- Ready?
- Ready.

623
00:30:28,739 --> 00:30:30,176
One, two, three.

624
00:30:35,094 --> 00:30:37,966
What?

625
00:30:38,010 --> 00:30:40,012
Who puts a bookcase in
front of a fireplace?

626
00:30:40,055 --> 00:30:42,362
I've never seen this,
Aunt Mary?

627
00:30:42,405 --> 00:30:44,625
Well I don't remember
this at all.

628
00:30:45,756 --> 00:30:47,802
This is beautiful.

629
00:30:47,846 --> 00:30:49,412
You know what, we'll put
these two chairs

630
00:30:49,456 --> 00:30:51,588
in front of it and arrange the
whole room around it.

631
00:30:54,635 --> 00:30:58,160
Does this mean moving
more furniture?

632
00:30:58,204 --> 00:30:59,118
Of course it does.

633
00:31:02,295 --> 00:31:03,862
Good.

634
00:31:10,303 --> 00:31:12,218
Oh bless you.

635
00:31:12,261 --> 00:31:14,655
Hope you're not allergic
to books.

636
00:31:14,698 --> 00:31:18,267
Most of my friends are,
but I'm not.

637
00:31:18,311 --> 00:31:20,269
Do you have O. Henry?

638
00:31:20,313 --> 00:31:22,663
We just read Ransom of Red
Chief at school.

639
00:31:22,706 --> 00:31:24,012
The classics are right
over there.

640
00:31:24,056 --> 00:31:25,796
Are you looking for a particular
title?

641
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,407
Gift of the Magi.

642
00:31:27,450 --> 00:31:30,932
That is the best
Christmas book

643
00:31:30,976 --> 00:31:33,630
and the ending-
ALICIA: Don't tell me.

644
00:31:33,674 --> 00:31:36,198
Our English teacher said
it was a big surprise.

645
00:31:37,678 --> 00:31:38,853
What's your name?

646
00:31:38,897 --> 00:31:42,335
- Alicia.
- Alicia.

647
00:31:42,378 --> 00:31:45,207
I can't believe was
written 113 years ago.

648
00:31:45,251 --> 00:31:47,470
I know, but you know
what it's still fresh today.

649
00:31:47,514 --> 00:31:51,083
I mean it's about Christmas
and love

650
00:31:51,126 --> 00:31:52,519
and life going haywire.

651
00:31:55,348 --> 00:31:56,262
Do you like Christmas books?

652
00:31:56,305 --> 00:31:58,960
Oh, any kind of book.

653
00:31:59,004 --> 00:32:00,701
I wanna be a writer some day.

654
00:32:00,744 --> 00:32:03,486
I write short stories
all the time.

655
00:32:03,530 --> 00:32:04,748
Well I'm sure your
school library

656
00:32:04,792 --> 00:32:06,011
probably has tons
of great books.

657
00:32:06,054 --> 00:32:07,882
- Closed until spring.
- Oh.

658
00:32:07,926 --> 00:32:11,407
The flood, lots of soggy
pages.

659
00:32:11,451 --> 00:32:12,582
That's awful.

660
00:32:13,279 --> 00:32:14,497
I gotta go.

661
00:32:14,541 --> 00:32:17,109
- Real cool bookstore.
- Thanks.

662
00:32:17,152 --> 00:32:18,675
Well it was nice to meet you.

663
00:32:18,719 --> 00:32:21,287
Come back again and don't forget
to sign the guestbook.

664
00:32:21,330 --> 00:32:22,941
Okay?

665
00:32:22,984 --> 00:32:24,377
Hey, I'll be right with you.

666
00:32:25,291 --> 00:32:26,379
It's nice to meet you.

667
00:32:26,422 --> 00:32:27,815
Bye.

668
00:32:27,858 --> 00:32:29,556
Hi, can I help you with
something?

669
00:32:41,568 --> 00:32:43,004
Just, sorry,
just one second.

670
00:32:43,048 --> 00:32:44,440
Alicia.

671
00:32:45,354 --> 00:32:47,791
Hey Alicia, it was really
nice to meet you.

672
00:32:47,835 --> 00:32:49,271
Do you live here in town?

673
00:32:49,315 --> 00:32:51,534
My parents run the tree
farm on Route 12.

674
00:32:53,058 --> 00:32:55,016
Listen, I need to get
going right now.

675
00:32:55,060 --> 00:32:56,061
Uh huh, you know what?

676
00:32:56,104 --> 00:32:57,845
I think you have something
of ours.

677
00:33:06,419 --> 00:33:08,377
Please don't call
the police.

678
00:33:08,421 --> 00:33:09,683
My mother will kill me.

679
00:33:10,945 --> 00:33:12,120
Do you want me
to get Andrew?

680
00:33:12,164 --> 00:33:13,643
No, no, I can handle it,
it's okay.

681
00:33:16,255 --> 00:33:19,736
So, you like surprise endings?

682
00:33:19,780 --> 00:33:21,651
I don't know.

683
00:33:21,695 --> 00:33:25,003
Well here's one you
didn't see coming.

684
00:33:25,046 --> 00:33:28,136
I will keep this between you
and I on one condition.

685
00:33:28,180 --> 00:33:30,704
You read Gift of the Magi.

686
00:33:30,747 --> 00:33:32,010
You can take it.

687
00:33:33,315 --> 00:33:34,621
And,

688
00:33:35,404 --> 00:33:36,927
A Little Princess.

689
00:33:36,971 --> 00:33:39,278
This is one of my favorite
books.

690
00:33:39,321 --> 00:33:41,062
You come back on Friday
after school

691
00:33:41,106 --> 00:33:42,368
and we're gonna talk about them.

692
00:33:42,411 --> 00:33:43,108
Deal?

693
00:33:45,066 --> 00:33:46,372
Yeah.

694
00:33:46,415 --> 00:33:48,026
- Yes.
- Okay.

695
00:34:17,968 --> 00:34:20,580
♪ Christmas now

696
00:34:20,623 --> 00:34:22,364
♪ Eating everything I want

697
00:34:22,408 --> 00:34:25,193
♪ La la la la la

698
00:34:30,938 --> 00:34:32,505
Claire, extension cords
aren't a substitute

699
00:34:32,548 --> 00:34:34,289
for proper wiring.

700
00:34:34,333 --> 00:34:36,378
Next time just let me know and
I'll rig something up.

701
00:34:36,422 --> 00:34:37,597
Yeah, but then I
couldn't hear you whine

702
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:39,120
and complain about it.

703
00:34:39,164 --> 00:34:40,730
Oh yeah?
Is that what I do?

704
00:34:40,774 --> 00:34:43,037
See Andrew, I'm not the
only one who says that.

705
00:34:46,258 --> 00:34:47,346
Hi.

706
00:34:47,389 --> 00:34:49,174
It's not Friday.

707
00:34:49,217 --> 00:34:51,306
I stayed up all night
reading.

708
00:34:51,350 --> 00:34:54,048
The ending of Magi was so good.

709
00:34:54,092 --> 00:34:56,398
I can't believe she cut her hair
and he sold the watch.

710
00:34:56,442 --> 00:34:59,271
- I know.
- I never saw it coming.

711
00:34:59,314 --> 00:35:01,969
I wanted to say thank you.

712
00:35:02,012 --> 00:35:03,797
These are from mom's greenhouse.

713
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,192
Oh wow, that's so sweet.

714
00:35:07,235 --> 00:35:08,454
Thank you.

715
00:35:08,497 --> 00:35:11,065
Hey Andrew, this is Alicia.

716
00:35:12,414 --> 00:35:13,633
Oh yeah, I've been out
to your folks farm.

717
00:35:13,676 --> 00:35:15,069
You sell Christmas trees, right?

718
00:35:15,113 --> 00:35:17,332
Yeah, not many customers
this year.

719
00:35:17,376 --> 00:35:19,291
And I loved The Little Princess.

720
00:35:19,334 --> 00:35:21,031
OMG, it was so good.

721
00:35:21,075 --> 00:35:23,469
I love the end where
the rich family

722
00:35:23,512 --> 00:35:25,558
brings Christmas dinner over
to the neighbors

723
00:35:25,601 --> 00:35:27,299
- who didn't have anything.
- Yeah.

724
00:35:27,342 --> 00:35:28,735
It's the best gift you
could give someone.

725
00:35:28,778 --> 00:35:31,781
- Thanks.
- Christmas books, ugh.

726
00:35:31,825 --> 00:35:33,566
This is our resident
critic, the Grinch.

727
00:35:33,609 --> 00:35:35,350
Christmas novels
are the worst.

728
00:35:35,394 --> 00:35:36,917
Are you for real?

729
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,398
It's a totally distorted
view of the holidays.

730
00:35:39,441 --> 00:35:42,401
Happy families gather around
the table.

731
00:35:42,444 --> 00:35:45,012
Everybody gets the perfect
Christmas gift.

732
00:35:45,055 --> 00:35:46,056
Nobody lives like that.

733
00:35:46,100 --> 00:35:47,319
Don't listen to him.

734
00:35:47,362 --> 00:35:49,103
He's, I don't even know.

735
00:35:50,583 --> 00:35:51,975
My mom used to read
A Little Princess

736
00:35:52,019 --> 00:35:53,760
to me and my sister.

737
00:35:53,803 --> 00:35:55,979
She was a single parent and we
never really had a lot,

738
00:35:56,023 --> 00:35:59,157
but she, thank you.

739
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,768
She always found a way to make
Christmas special.

740
00:36:01,811 --> 00:36:03,117
Yeah, thanks, oh.

741
00:36:04,162 --> 00:36:05,598
Good job.

742
00:36:07,034 --> 00:36:08,905
Would you be willing to write
like a little paragraph

743
00:36:08,949 --> 00:36:11,212
about the book and I can put
it on the shelf?

744
00:36:11,256 --> 00:36:13,562
Nobody cares
what I think.

745
00:36:13,606 --> 00:36:15,042
I care what you think.

746
00:36:16,174 --> 00:36:18,219
Actually, you know what
would be better?

747
00:36:18,263 --> 00:36:19,394
Is if you were here in person.

748
00:36:19,438 --> 00:36:20,482
How 'bout an internship?

749
00:36:20,526 --> 00:36:21,483
You could come after school.

750
00:36:21,527 --> 00:36:22,832
Ah Claire.

751
00:36:24,399 --> 00:36:26,227
I realize we can't
pay you,

752
00:36:26,271 --> 00:36:28,011
but I would really like
to have you here

753
00:36:28,055 --> 00:36:29,491
and we can talk about books

754
00:36:29,535 --> 00:36:32,668
and you could help me tie bows,
you know?

755
00:36:32,712 --> 00:36:35,193
- Seriously?
- Yeah, absolutely.

756
00:36:35,236 --> 00:36:36,498
- Claire.
- It would be really good

757
00:36:36,542 --> 00:36:38,413
for your college applications.

758
00:36:38,457 --> 00:36:40,850
I'll have to ask my mom.

759
00:36:40,894 --> 00:36:42,243
Yeah, of course and if
she wants to talk to me

760
00:36:42,287 --> 00:36:43,810
just have her come by.

761
00:36:45,159 --> 00:36:46,639
Okay.

762
00:36:46,682 --> 00:36:47,988
Bye.

763
00:36:51,034 --> 00:36:52,688
Okay listen, before you start.

764
00:36:52,732 --> 00:36:55,125
I love that you see
value in people,

765
00:36:55,169 --> 00:36:58,390
it's a beautiful thing, but we
are not guidance counselors.

766
00:36:58,433 --> 00:36:59,869
She loves to read,

767
00:36:59,913 --> 00:37:01,697
this is the perfect environment
for her.

768
00:37:01,741 --> 00:37:03,612
The idea just occurred to me
in the moment.

769
00:37:03,656 --> 00:37:05,179
Okay there was a little voice
in my head

770
00:37:05,223 --> 00:37:07,399
and I'm just really trying
to listen

771
00:37:07,442 --> 00:37:09,009
to my intuition for a change.

772
00:37:09,052 --> 00:37:12,621
Well can you please just
check with me first?

773
00:37:12,665 --> 00:37:14,449
Andrew, these kids
need a break.

774
00:37:14,493 --> 00:37:16,582
They have nowhere to go,
nothing to do

775
00:37:16,625 --> 00:37:18,714
with the Christmas Festival
was canceled.

776
00:37:18,758 --> 00:37:20,629
If you think you're
gonna fix Glastenbury problems-

777
00:37:20,673 --> 00:37:23,241
No I don't, I just,
one, one kid.

778
00:37:23,284 --> 00:37:24,546
Okay, just one.

779
00:37:24,590 --> 00:37:25,721
That's all I'm asking for.

780
00:37:28,550 --> 00:37:29,812
You are impossible
to argue with.

781
00:37:29,856 --> 00:37:31,553
That's because I'm always right.

782
00:37:34,817 --> 00:37:37,733
Okay, all right, so what
happens when you leave?

783
00:37:39,474 --> 00:37:41,433
If I can just plant one
little seed while I'm here,

784
00:37:41,476 --> 00:37:43,826
then I will have had the best
Christmas vacation ever.

785
00:37:46,307 --> 00:37:48,222
I just wanna give back for
a change, come on.

786
00:37:51,617 --> 00:37:52,879
Fine.

787
00:37:53,749 --> 00:37:55,621
Thank you.

788
00:37:55,664 --> 00:37:56,883
You won't regret it, I promise.

789
00:38:11,027 --> 00:38:12,333
Oh what is this?

790
00:38:13,769 --> 00:38:15,684
Oh, what is that
doing here.

791
00:38:15,728 --> 00:38:18,252
All that stuff is suppose to be
down in the basement.

792
00:38:20,776 --> 00:38:23,823
You're like a kid on
Christmas morning.

793
00:38:23,866 --> 00:38:25,868
I know, I feel like one.

794
00:38:25,912 --> 00:38:27,435
I mean look at this stuff.

795
00:38:27,479 --> 00:38:30,438
This is Austria, 1902.

796
00:38:32,310 --> 00:38:34,442
And this was just sitting in the
back of the storage room.

797
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:36,401
I don't get it.

798
00:38:37,706 --> 00:38:38,664
Oh look at that.

799
00:38:38,707 --> 00:38:39,795
What is this?

800
00:38:39,839 --> 00:38:42,842
Is this, is that Andrew?

801
00:38:42,885 --> 00:38:46,324
- Yes.
- He's so cute.

802
00:38:46,367 --> 00:38:48,151
Yes, that's Andrew
and that's my sister,

803
00:38:48,195 --> 00:38:51,720
his mother, Addie and that's
her husband, John.

804
00:38:51,764 --> 00:38:54,897
It's been three years since
she's been gone.

805
00:38:56,246 --> 00:38:57,944
- Hey.
- Hi.

806
00:38:57,987 --> 00:39:00,076
Look what we found.

807
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:01,426
This picture.

808
00:39:02,470 --> 00:39:03,863
So cute.

809
00:39:03,906 --> 00:39:06,431
What's all this stuff
doing out?

810
00:39:06,474 --> 00:39:07,867
Isn't it wonderful?

811
00:39:07,910 --> 00:39:09,521
I thought maybe we could
decorate the store

812
00:39:09,564 --> 00:39:11,392
with these things.

813
00:39:11,436 --> 00:39:13,916
Yeah, these boxes are
full of family memories, Claire.

814
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:15,788
No one wants to see that stuff.

815
00:39:15,831 --> 00:39:17,920
Come on,
you were at St. Paul's.

816
00:39:17,964 --> 00:39:21,141
I mean there wasn't an empty
seat in the house.

817
00:39:21,184 --> 00:39:22,751
People out there are starved
for Christmas.

818
00:39:22,795 --> 00:39:23,752
Just get it cleaned up.

819
00:39:32,587 --> 00:39:34,633
It's all right, you
didn't mean any harm.

820
00:39:34,676 --> 00:39:36,069
It's been a hard time for him.

821
00:39:41,466 --> 00:39:44,425
We've gotta find a way
to get people in here.

822
00:39:44,469 --> 00:39:46,993
I mean if we could just get
the luminaria's back

823
00:39:47,036 --> 00:39:49,125
on the streets, I know it would
bring in business.

824
00:39:49,169 --> 00:39:52,781
The Chamber of Commerce
meets every Wednesday at two.

825
00:39:52,825 --> 00:39:55,523
You're not exactly a shrinking
violet.

826
00:39:56,611 --> 00:39:57,699
I didn't say that.

827
00:40:17,066 --> 00:40:20,200
Mrs. T, I thought you
put that thing away?

828
00:40:20,243 --> 00:40:22,289
Andrew's gonna be really upset
about that.

829
00:40:22,332 --> 00:40:24,813
I must've left it out
by accident.

830
00:40:25,727 --> 00:40:28,208
Sometimes my memory's not as
good as it should be.

831
00:40:29,775 --> 00:40:31,080
Sneaky.

832
00:40:33,605 --> 00:40:35,694
Oh hi there, can I help you
with something?

833
00:40:35,737 --> 00:40:36,999
I was on my
morning walk

834
00:40:37,043 --> 00:40:39,785
and that adorable Santa
caught my eye.

835
00:40:39,828 --> 00:40:42,004
Yeah, it's lovely,
isn't it?

836
00:40:42,048 --> 00:40:43,353
When I was
a little girl

837
00:40:43,397 --> 00:40:45,530
I remember coming to
Fortenbury's

838
00:40:45,573 --> 00:40:47,836
and seeing that cookie jar
in the window.

839
00:40:49,229 --> 00:40:50,839
You know it belonged to
the owner's family.

840
00:40:50,883 --> 00:40:53,015
Oh, any chance
it's for sale?

841
00:40:53,059 --> 00:40:54,974
Ah no, absolutely not.

842
00:40:55,017 --> 00:40:56,541
Claire, can I?

843
00:40:56,584 --> 00:40:58,107
Are you looking
for a gift?

844
00:40:58,151 --> 00:41:00,806
Because we have these lovely
sleigh bells here.

845
00:41:00,849 --> 00:41:03,199
And they're made by our very
own Andrew Fortenbury.

846
00:41:03,243 --> 00:41:04,984
These are wonderful.

847
00:41:06,420 --> 00:41:09,292
Oh my daughter loves anything
that's handcrafted.

848
00:41:09,336 --> 00:41:11,773
So artistic.

849
00:41:11,817 --> 00:41:13,558
You made these young man?

850
00:41:14,950 --> 00:41:18,171
Yeah, yeah, my
workshop's just out back.

851
00:41:19,389 --> 00:41:20,782
You know I've been
trying to get him

852
00:41:20,826 --> 00:41:22,958
to sign them or at least put
his initials on them.

853
00:41:23,002 --> 00:41:24,873
So that everybody can know
who the artist is.

854
00:41:26,048 --> 00:41:27,397
- I'll take them.
- Great!

855
00:41:27,441 --> 00:41:29,008
But only if
you sign them.

856
00:41:29,051 --> 00:41:30,357
Really?

857
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:31,663
I wanna be able to
tell my daughter

858
00:41:31,706 --> 00:41:33,534
I met the artist in person.

859
00:41:35,144 --> 00:41:37,016
Okay, sure, sure.

860
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:40,280
Here, let me ring
that up for you.

861
00:41:42,325 --> 00:41:45,459
See,
what did I tell you?

862
00:41:45,503 --> 00:41:46,416
Now are you gonna let me
put up some

863
00:41:46,460 --> 00:41:47,592
more Christmas ornaments?

864
00:41:47,635 --> 00:41:48,941
Claire, we talked
about this.

865
00:41:48,984 --> 00:41:49,898
All right, let's
negotiate it.

866
00:41:49,942 --> 00:41:51,291
- Well no.
- Yes.

867
00:41:51,334 --> 00:41:53,206
For every ornament that you hate
I get to put out

868
00:41:53,249 --> 00:41:54,599
two that I like.

869
00:41:56,949 --> 00:41:58,994
No.

870
00:42:07,133 --> 00:42:09,004
So road construction on
the F12 bridge

871
00:42:09,048 --> 00:42:12,660
will be completed two months
ahead of schedule.

872
00:42:12,704 --> 00:42:14,140
Now, let's put that to a vote.

873
00:42:14,183 --> 00:42:16,882
All in favor of approving
additional funds

874
00:42:16,925 --> 00:42:19,580
for the flood relief
construction, raise your hand.

875
00:42:24,019 --> 00:42:25,325
Opposed?

876
00:42:27,327 --> 00:42:29,068
Motion approved.

877
00:42:29,111 --> 00:42:31,070
Okay, moving on to new
business.

878
00:42:31,113 --> 00:42:32,419
The floor is open.

879
00:42:34,116 --> 00:42:35,640
Hi.

880
00:42:35,683 --> 00:42:38,643
I'm Claire Clayson from
Fortenbury's Bookstore

881
00:42:38,686 --> 00:42:41,994
and I'm here to talk about the
Christmas Festival.

882
00:42:42,037 --> 00:42:44,649
With all due respect,
this board has voted.

883
00:42:44,692 --> 00:42:47,129
I'm aware of that,
but in the last few days

884
00:42:47,173 --> 00:42:48,609
since we put out Christmas
decorations,

885
00:42:48,653 --> 00:42:50,219
we've seen an increase
in foot traffic.

886
00:42:50,263 --> 00:42:52,570
All of the events
are canceled.

887
00:42:53,919 --> 00:42:55,660
Have you looked up
and down Main Street?

888
00:42:55,703 --> 00:42:58,053
I mean it's kind of like
a ghost town

889
00:42:58,097 --> 00:43:00,403
celebrating its own funeral
instead of Christmas.

890
00:43:00,447 --> 00:43:01,622
Yeah.

891
00:43:01,666 --> 00:43:03,015
I mean listen,

892
00:43:03,058 --> 00:43:05,626
clearly it's too late to salvage
the festival,

893
00:43:05,670 --> 00:43:08,063
but what about just doing
a piece of it?

894
00:43:08,107 --> 00:43:10,762
You know instead of the
luminarias all month,

895
00:43:10,805 --> 00:43:13,765
how 'bout just a week leading up
to Christmas?

896
00:43:13,808 --> 00:43:16,942
And then the Midnight Madness
sale could just be one night.

897
00:43:16,985 --> 00:43:18,900
I mean how hard would that be?

898
00:43:21,033 --> 00:43:22,687
You know when
I was a little girl

899
00:43:22,730 --> 00:43:24,950
my mom used to tell me about
this magical place

900
00:43:24,993 --> 00:43:27,779
called Glastenbury where
the streets

901
00:43:27,822 --> 00:43:30,651
were lined with candles
and holiday lights

902
00:43:30,695 --> 00:43:32,479
and where Christmas was real.

903
00:43:33,698 --> 00:43:35,613
Anyone else with
public input?

904
00:43:36,352 --> 00:43:37,789
Wow, I really
think you're being

905
00:43:37,832 --> 00:43:39,138
short-sighted about this.

906
00:43:39,181 --> 00:43:40,356
No other new business?

907
00:43:45,100 --> 00:43:46,058
This meeting
is adjourned.

908
00:43:59,767 --> 00:44:00,681
Mom's windows
were always

909
00:44:00,725 --> 00:44:02,727
the main attraction in town.

910
00:44:02,770 --> 00:44:04,598
She'd start planning
in the summer.

911
00:44:06,121 --> 00:44:07,688
She sounds like quite
the woman.

912
00:44:09,168 --> 00:44:10,604
Yeah, yeah, she was.

913
00:44:15,130 --> 00:44:16,654
You know Mrs. T
was mentioning

914
00:44:16,697 --> 00:44:19,831
that she used to have book
readings during the holidays.

915
00:44:19,874 --> 00:44:22,094
What if we scheduled one?

916
00:44:22,137 --> 00:44:23,878
Oh book readings
a lot of work, Claire.

917
00:44:23,922 --> 00:44:25,140
No, no, it's really not.

918
00:44:25,184 --> 00:44:26,707
You just pick a book
and put out a sign

919
00:44:26,751 --> 00:44:29,057
and you know have refreshments
and stuff.

920
00:44:29,101 --> 00:44:30,711
Oh refreshments,
you wanna go there?

921
00:44:30,755 --> 00:44:34,019
Stop, I'm gonna have
Alicia help me, okay?

922
00:44:34,062 --> 00:44:36,238
I know she knows what real
Vermonters like.

923
00:44:37,587 --> 00:44:39,851
You know,

924
00:44:39,894 --> 00:44:42,201
the nutcracker's always guarded
the front door.

925
00:44:42,244 --> 00:44:44,986
Oh, shall we?

926
00:44:45,987 --> 00:44:47,119
We shall.

927
00:45:36,821 --> 00:45:38,910
I think it looks good.

928
00:45:48,833 --> 00:45:50,182
Hey Barb!

929
00:45:50,225 --> 00:45:51,357
Hey!

930
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:52,967
We've gotta
get this girl fed!

931
00:45:53,011 --> 00:45:54,142
She's been working like a fiend.

932
00:45:54,186 --> 00:45:55,883
Oh yeah sure, come on in.

933
00:45:55,927 --> 00:45:57,667
Let me see if I can find
you a seat.

934
00:45:57,711 --> 00:45:58,930
- Great.
- By the way,

935
00:45:58,973 --> 00:46:00,366
I've never seen anyone stand
up to Puttnam

936
00:46:00,409 --> 00:46:02,020
the way you did at the chamber
meeting.

937
00:46:02,063 --> 00:46:03,064
I know.

938
00:46:03,108 --> 00:46:04,370
All the power to ya.

939
00:46:04,413 --> 00:46:06,024
I wish I would have
succeeded.

940
00:46:06,067 --> 00:46:08,243
Yeah well, oh, you know
those red and green

941
00:46:08,287 --> 00:46:09,810
sandwich cookies, the macarons

942
00:46:09,854 --> 00:46:11,725
- that I made for your open house?
- Yeah.

943
00:46:11,769 --> 00:46:13,945
I made an extra batch,
sold out in a flash.

944
00:46:13,988 --> 00:46:15,294
Now I can't keep them in stock.

945
00:46:15,337 --> 00:46:16,904
- Really?
- Yeah.

946
00:46:16,948 --> 00:46:19,472
Everyone's looking for Christmas
wherever they can find it.

947
00:46:19,515 --> 00:46:21,082
So what can I get for
you ladies?

948
00:46:21,126 --> 00:46:22,431
It's on the house.

949
00:46:26,609 --> 00:46:29,177
So what's got you so
intrigued about New York?

950
00:46:29,221 --> 00:46:31,484
I know this sounds silly

951
00:46:31,527 --> 00:46:35,183
but I want to go to NYU for
their writing program.

952
00:46:36,402 --> 00:46:38,839
That's not silly,
that's amazing.

953
00:46:38,883 --> 00:46:41,233
My parents think it's
kind of silly.

954
00:46:41,276 --> 00:46:43,278
Who spends all that money
to go to college

955
00:46:43,322 --> 00:46:45,106
to become a writer?

956
00:46:45,150 --> 00:46:46,673
Lots of people.

957
00:46:46,716 --> 00:46:48,109
Just like you.

958
00:46:48,153 --> 00:46:50,198
You just have to do what's
in your heart

959
00:46:50,242 --> 00:46:52,157
and follow your instincts.

960
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:54,376
But my parents-

961
00:46:54,420 --> 00:46:56,030
I know, but
it's your life.

962
00:46:57,292 --> 00:46:59,120
You can make it whatever
you want.

963
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:02,776
Why don't you come visit
me some time?

964
00:47:02,820 --> 00:47:06,127
We can go to NYU, I can show
you the campus.

965
00:47:06,171 --> 00:47:07,999
- Really?
- Yeah, absolutely.

966
00:47:08,042 --> 00:47:09,739
I would love to.

967
00:47:09,783 --> 00:47:11,829
I promise, okay.

968
00:47:11,872 --> 00:47:13,526
And I never break a promise
to a friend.

969
00:47:15,049 --> 00:47:15,876
Pinky swear.

970
00:47:26,844 --> 00:47:28,628
- Hey.
- Hi Father Luke.

971
00:47:28,671 --> 00:47:29,934
- Nice to see you.
- How ya doing?

972
00:47:29,977 --> 00:47:31,326
Great, I heard that was
quite a speech

973
00:47:31,370 --> 00:47:32,327
you gave at the chamber meeting.

974
00:47:32,371 --> 00:47:33,763
Oh yes.

975
00:47:34,852 --> 00:47:37,376
Oh, let me introduce you
to Erin my husband

976
00:47:37,419 --> 00:47:40,205
- and little Mable.
- Oh my gosh.

977
00:47:40,248 --> 00:47:42,903
Mable you're so sweet.

978
00:47:42,947 --> 00:47:44,905
Oh you so cute.

979
00:47:44,949 --> 00:47:46,907
You're not so bad yourself.

980
00:47:46,951 --> 00:47:48,691
Thank you.

981
00:47:48,735 --> 00:47:51,172
Rumor has it you sure know how
to fire up a crowd.

982
00:47:51,216 --> 00:47:52,695
Can we borrow you over
at the church?

983
00:47:52,739 --> 00:47:54,132
Absolutely.

984
00:47:54,175 --> 00:47:55,481
I'm so happy to see what
you're doing here.

985
00:47:55,524 --> 00:47:58,310
- It's like the old days.
- Oh thank you.

986
00:47:58,353 --> 00:48:00,399
Unfortunately, we can only
stay for a bit.

987
00:48:00,442 --> 00:48:02,531
Mable here keeps us on a pretty
tight schedule.

988
00:48:02,575 --> 00:48:03,663
- Yeah.
- Of course.

989
00:48:03,706 --> 00:48:04,620
How is it living here?

990
00:48:04,664 --> 00:48:05,926
Two dads and a baby.

991
00:48:05,970 --> 00:48:07,754
Actually pretty great.

992
00:48:07,797 --> 00:48:11,540
I'm from Boston, so at first
I was a little worried.

993
00:48:11,584 --> 00:48:13,978
But you have to be careful about
stereotyping small towns.

994
00:48:14,021 --> 00:48:15,240
That's te.

995
00:48:15,283 --> 00:48:16,937
This place surprises me
every day.

996
00:48:22,203 --> 00:48:23,204
Yeah.

997
00:48:28,906 --> 00:48:30,255
Hey.

998
00:48:30,298 --> 00:48:33,171
Okay, so I want you to do
the first reading.

999
00:48:33,214 --> 00:48:34,520
Me?

1000
00:48:34,563 --> 00:48:36,261
Why?

1001
00:48:36,304 --> 00:48:38,654
Well, because I'm gonna
be gone in a couple weeks

1002
00:48:38,698 --> 00:48:39,960
and you're still gonna be here

1003
00:48:40,004 --> 00:48:41,309
and I just think it's good
for people

1004
00:48:41,353 --> 00:48:43,398
to get to know your face
you know?

1005
00:48:43,442 --> 00:48:44,878
- Are you sure?
- Yes.

1006
00:48:44,922 --> 00:48:47,707
- Okay.
- Okay, perfect.

1007
00:49:04,506 --> 00:49:07,248
Wow, don't you
clean up nice?

1008
00:49:08,989 --> 00:49:10,251
Thanks.

1009
00:49:10,295 --> 00:49:11,861
Look at this crowd.

1010
00:49:12,775 --> 00:49:13,776
Well what
did I tell you,

1011
00:49:13,820 --> 00:49:15,039
I've been posting all day.

1012
00:49:18,694 --> 00:49:20,087
That's smoke.

1013
00:49:22,046 --> 00:49:23,395
What, what?

1014
00:49:23,438 --> 00:49:24,309
Did you open the flue?

1015
00:49:24,352 --> 00:49:26,137
Yes, yes I opened it.

1016
00:49:26,180 --> 00:49:27,268
What do I do?

1017
00:49:27,312 --> 00:49:29,314
Wait.

1018
00:49:29,357 --> 00:49:30,228
Okay.

1019
00:49:32,056 --> 00:49:34,449
We gotta get 'em outside.

1020
00:49:34,493 --> 00:49:35,320
There we go.

1021
00:49:36,582 --> 00:49:38,453
Alright, everybody out
of the way!

1022
00:49:46,548 --> 00:49:48,246
Oh no.

1023
00:49:48,289 --> 00:49:51,292
Oh no, I can't believe
this is happening!

1024
00:49:51,336 --> 00:49:53,033
I'm so sorry.

1025
00:49:53,077 --> 00:49:56,036
Please tell me that you
didn't do this on purpose.

1026
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:58,299
No I didn't do it
on purpose!

1027
00:50:00,388 --> 00:50:01,563
Had I known.

1028
00:50:03,435 --> 00:50:05,480
Well, so much for good
intentions.

1029
00:50:05,524 --> 00:50:08,483
Great, well, I'm covered
in ash now.

1030
00:50:10,137 --> 00:50:11,095
I know, me too.

1031
00:50:11,138 --> 00:50:13,010
I've got some soap in the shop.

1032
00:50:13,053 --> 00:50:14,663
Okay, okay we'll be
right back.

1033
00:50:16,274 --> 00:50:17,579
Watch the fire.

1034
00:50:20,930 --> 00:50:22,323
Okay, it's okay.

1035
00:50:24,847 --> 00:50:27,372
Is it always so hot
in here?

1036
00:50:27,415 --> 00:50:28,721
Yeah, when light
the furnace

1037
00:50:28,764 --> 00:50:31,202
it stays on day and night.

1038
00:50:31,245 --> 00:50:34,596
Summers are awful but winters
are kind of wonderful.

1039
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:36,468
You're right, this stuff
really works.

1040
00:50:36,511 --> 00:50:38,426
Yeah, it's volcanic
pumice.

1041
00:50:40,428 --> 00:50:42,300
It's, um good.

1042
00:50:46,869 --> 00:50:50,612
If my New York friends
could see me now.

1043
00:50:50,656 --> 00:50:54,355
You gotta really really
get in there and scrub.

1044
00:50:54,921 --> 00:50:56,662
May I?

1045
00:50:57,141 --> 00:50:58,011
Sure.

1046
00:51:27,388 --> 00:51:28,694
Claire?

1047
00:51:29,390 --> 00:51:30,957
Andrew?

1048
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:32,654
We need more chairs.

1049
00:51:33,786 --> 00:51:35,701
Yeah, I'll come.

1050
00:51:35,744 --> 00:51:40,619
- I just, need to finish.
- Yeah more chairs.

1051
00:51:40,662 --> 00:51:42,229
- Washing.
- Yeah.

1052
00:51:54,154 --> 00:51:57,592
So about last night.

1053
00:51:58,767 --> 00:52:00,160
I was gonna bring
that up also.

1054
00:52:05,905 --> 00:52:09,169
It doesn't really make any
sense, right?

1055
00:52:09,213 --> 00:52:11,650
'Cause I'm not gonna be
here for...

1056
00:52:11,693 --> 00:52:13,304
I'm leaving in a week.

1057
00:52:13,347 --> 00:52:14,305
Right.

1058
00:52:15,697 --> 00:52:17,046
No of course.

1059
00:52:18,178 --> 00:52:19,614
I knew that

1060
00:52:19,658 --> 00:52:23,009
and I'm not looking for any
kind of commitment.

1061
00:52:25,577 --> 00:52:26,708
And you're on vacation.

1062
00:52:26,752 --> 00:52:28,362
Right, exactly.

1063
00:52:28,406 --> 00:52:30,234
- So, you know.
- Exactly.

1064
00:52:30,277 --> 00:52:32,627
That's what I thought you were
gonna say.

1065
00:52:32,671 --> 00:52:35,239
Alright, so we'll just keep
it coworkers and...

1066
00:52:38,198 --> 00:52:39,156
- Coworkers.
- Friends.

1067
00:52:39,199 --> 00:52:40,505
Yup.

1068
00:52:42,202 --> 00:52:43,508
That's a good plan.

1069
00:52:44,813 --> 00:52:46,902
- Okay, that's great.
- Yup.

1070
00:52:51,603 --> 00:52:53,735
See ya at lunch.

1071
00:52:55,563 --> 00:52:56,738
Hey!

1072
00:52:56,782 --> 00:52:58,523
Looking good neighbor.

1073
00:52:58,566 --> 00:53:00,873
Hey, everybody's talking
about how you almost

1074
00:53:00,916 --> 00:53:02,440
burned down the bookstore.

1075
00:53:02,483 --> 00:53:06,400
- Whatever it takes right?
- Exactly.

1076
00:53:06,444 --> 00:53:09,360
You know, I'm thinking of
extending my stay.

1077
00:53:09,403 --> 00:53:10,535
Maybe through New Years.

1078
00:53:10,578 --> 00:53:12,450
Oh that's great!

1079
00:53:12,493 --> 00:53:13,625
Oh!

1080
00:53:14,887 --> 00:53:16,236
Consider yourself invited!

1081
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:17,498
Oh great, thanks!

1082
00:54:05,242 --> 00:54:07,200
- Such a beautiful night.
- Yeah.

1083
00:54:07,244 --> 00:54:08,332
Full moon.

1084
00:54:12,336 --> 00:54:13,902
Okay, where's
your phone?

1085
00:54:13,946 --> 00:54:15,208
Why?

1086
00:54:15,252 --> 00:54:16,601
Well, if there was ever
a picture

1087
00:54:16,644 --> 00:54:18,472
worth posting online.

1088
00:54:18,516 --> 00:54:20,213
Oh no, not tonight.

1089
00:54:24,478 --> 00:54:25,784
What ya thinking about?

1090
00:54:27,612 --> 00:54:28,700
My mother.

1091
00:54:29,831 --> 00:54:30,876
How long has
she been gone?

1092
00:54:32,356 --> 00:54:33,400
Since I was in college.

1093
00:54:35,315 --> 00:54:36,664
What was she like?

1094
00:54:38,666 --> 00:54:41,278
She was scraffy
and determined.

1095
00:54:43,323 --> 00:54:45,673
She was the hardest
worker I've ever met.

1096
00:54:46,935 --> 00:54:48,241
Like you.

1097
00:54:51,766 --> 00:54:53,638
You know, my mother was kind
of like that too.

1098
00:54:53,681 --> 00:54:57,032
She never ran out of patience,
especially with me.

1099
00:54:57,598 --> 00:54:58,469
Wow.

1100
00:55:01,646 --> 00:55:04,475
My mom had a nine to five job
that she hated.

1101
00:55:04,518 --> 00:55:06,999
But she painted on the side.

1102
00:55:07,042 --> 00:55:08,827
That's how she came here
actually.

1103
00:55:10,176 --> 00:55:13,179
Her sketch group would take
a trip once a year

1104
00:55:13,222 --> 00:55:14,746
and do nothing but paint.

1105
00:55:16,269 --> 00:55:18,271
And they rented these cottages
over Christmas break.

1106
00:55:19,577 --> 00:55:22,623
So that's how that
painting happened.

1107
00:55:22,667 --> 00:55:26,061
Yup, and she came home
and just quit her job

1108
00:55:26,105 --> 00:55:28,890
and started painting full-time.

1109
00:55:28,934 --> 00:55:30,675
She would always tell me
that Glastenbury

1110
00:55:30,718 --> 00:55:32,938
was this magical place

1111
00:55:32,981 --> 00:55:34,374
where dreams came true.

1112
00:55:36,071 --> 00:55:38,073
We should put that on a
billboard at the Train Depot.

1113
00:55:40,685 --> 00:55:42,339
She was always gonna
take me here.

1114
00:55:43,992 --> 00:55:45,037
It was kind of a dream
we had together

1115
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:47,344
but it just never happened.

1116
00:55:49,433 --> 00:55:51,565
I think that's why I feel so
connected to her here.

1117
00:55:54,394 --> 00:55:55,656
Christmas can do that to people.

1118
00:55:57,441 --> 00:55:58,529
Okay, now you sound like
one of your

1119
00:55:58,572 --> 00:56:00,357
sappy holiday novels.

1120
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:01,183
Stop.

1121
00:56:01,227 --> 00:56:02,663
You do!

1122
00:56:04,273 --> 00:56:06,319
It's not that sappy.

1123
00:56:08,321 --> 00:56:09,235
Just the last part.

1124
00:56:17,112 --> 00:56:18,636
Claire!

1125
00:56:18,679 --> 00:56:20,377
Hi!

1126
00:56:20,420 --> 00:56:22,335
Did you have a good time
last night?

1127
00:56:22,379 --> 00:56:23,423
Oh I did.

1128
00:56:24,337 --> 00:56:25,773
It was so beautiful.

1129
00:56:25,817 --> 00:56:28,602
The church in the woods,
with the lights.

1130
00:56:28,646 --> 00:56:29,995
Hi.

1131
00:56:30,038 --> 00:56:31,257
It felt like the holidays.

1132
00:56:32,476 --> 00:56:33,912
What happened?

1133
00:56:33,955 --> 00:56:36,305
We had a run on bells
yesterday afternoon.

1134
00:56:36,349 --> 00:56:38,830
A woman from Maine bought
six of them.

1135
00:56:38,873 --> 00:56:40,048
Really!

1136
00:56:40,092 --> 00:56:41,441
Oh that's fantastic!

1137
00:56:41,485 --> 00:56:43,400
Hey, Alicia, can you go down
and ask Andrew

1138
00:56:43,443 --> 00:56:45,271
if he can put together some
more bells?

1139
00:56:45,314 --> 00:56:47,142
- Sure.
- Great.

1140
00:56:47,186 --> 00:56:48,361
Ah!

1141
00:56:48,405 --> 00:56:50,363
Yeah it's Andrew
Fortenbury.

1142
00:56:50,407 --> 00:56:51,712
Yes it's urgent.

1143
00:56:53,758 --> 00:56:54,976
No, no, no, no, no, no,

1144
00:56:55,020 --> 00:56:56,151
I don't want to move
the closing date.

1145
00:56:56,195 --> 00:56:58,197
I've already delayed
the sale a month.

1146
00:56:58,240 --> 00:57:00,895
I need the bookstore to close
escrow right after the first.

1147
00:57:00,939 --> 00:57:02,419
No, I can't move it again.

1148
00:57:02,462 --> 00:57:04,421
No, no, it's gotta be the
beginning of the month.

1149
00:57:05,987 --> 00:57:07,859
I can't wait any longer.

1150
00:57:08,903 --> 00:57:10,731
Yeah okay, yeah, thank you.

1151
00:57:20,741 --> 00:57:21,916
Hey!

1152
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:23,352
Are you okay?

1153
00:57:24,353 --> 00:57:27,182
I accidentally overheard
Andrew on the phone.

1154
00:57:28,619 --> 00:57:29,881
What happened?

1155
00:57:32,753 --> 00:57:34,320
I think he was talking
to someone

1156
00:57:34,363 --> 00:57:36,844
about selling the bookstore.

1157
00:57:36,888 --> 00:57:38,367
What?

1158
00:57:48,247 --> 00:57:49,248
Why didn't you tell me?

1159
00:57:50,379 --> 00:57:51,511
About what?

1160
00:57:51,555 --> 00:57:52,904
You're selling the
bookstore?

1161
00:57:54,601 --> 00:57:55,994
Look, I appreciate all
you've done around here Claire.

1162
00:57:56,037 --> 00:57:58,126
I do, but you don't need to
get involved in this.

1163
00:57:58,170 --> 00:57:59,040
It's not a big deal.

1164
00:57:59,084 --> 00:58:00,694
It is a big deal.

1165
00:58:00,738 --> 00:58:01,826
Why did you let me do
all of this work

1166
00:58:01,869 --> 00:58:03,436
if you knew you were closing?

1167
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:05,351
Things have turned around.

1168
00:58:05,394 --> 00:58:07,353
The bookstore's doing better.

1169
00:58:07,396 --> 00:58:08,789
It's not sustainable.

1170
00:58:08,833 --> 00:58:10,661
Okay after the holidays this
little uptick

1171
00:58:10,704 --> 00:58:12,140
will turn into a trickle.

1172
00:58:13,620 --> 00:58:16,144
You know, I evaluate
companies for a living,

1173
00:58:16,188 --> 00:58:17,494
and from what I can see-

1174
00:58:17,537 --> 00:58:19,104
I can't do this on
my own Claire.

1175
00:58:19,147 --> 00:58:21,193
You made this place come alive.

1176
00:58:21,236 --> 00:58:23,804
But if you go back to New York,
what am I supposed to do?

1177
00:58:23,848 --> 00:58:25,414
I know, but this
bookstores been

1178
00:58:25,458 --> 00:58:27,112
in your family for
over 100 years.

1179
00:58:27,155 --> 00:58:28,983
And here's the good
news, nothing's changing.

1180
00:58:29,027 --> 00:58:30,507
The bookstore's not
closing down.

1181
00:58:30,550 --> 00:58:32,944
So all of your hard work
is not in vain.

1182
00:58:32,987 --> 00:58:34,075
But I don't understand.

1183
00:58:34,119 --> 00:58:35,424
The building
is being sold,

1184
00:58:35,468 --> 00:58:36,600
but the bookstore
and the apartment,

1185
00:58:36,643 --> 00:58:38,166
they all stay the same.

1186
00:58:38,210 --> 00:58:39,907
That Fortenbury sign stays right
above the door?

1187
00:58:39,951 --> 00:58:41,256
Well who's
the new owner?

1188
00:58:41,300 --> 00:58:42,475
George Puttnam.

1189
00:58:42,519 --> 00:58:44,042
- George Puttnam?
- Yeah.

1190
00:58:44,085 --> 00:58:45,478
The Chamber of Commerce
President?

1191
00:58:45,522 --> 00:58:47,915
- Yeah.
- Oh no, no, that guy's a-

1192
00:58:47,959 --> 00:58:50,004
Well he's the largest
real estate broker in the area

1193
00:58:50,048 --> 00:58:51,005
and he's paying a fair price.

1194
00:58:51,049 --> 00:58:52,746
Yeah, in a down market.

1195
00:58:52,790 --> 00:58:53,965
It's perfect timing for him.

1196
00:58:54,008 --> 00:58:55,227
He gave me his word,
Claire.

1197
00:58:55,270 --> 00:58:56,271
Okay.

1198
00:58:56,315 --> 00:58:57,708
My sister's in real estate.

1199
00:58:57,751 --> 00:58:59,492
And no offense to her,
but you never trust

1200
00:58:59,536 --> 00:59:00,711
anything until you get
it in writing.

1201
00:59:00,754 --> 00:59:02,321
And even then-

1202
00:59:02,364 --> 00:59:03,931
His family goes way back
alright, just like mine.

1203
00:59:03,975 --> 00:59:07,065
So he understands the value of
Fortenbury to the community.

1204
00:59:07,108 --> 00:59:10,024
I've never seen him at
any of our events.

1205
00:59:10,068 --> 00:59:13,027
What if he loves the location
more than he loves books?

1206
00:59:13,071 --> 00:59:15,203
Look, the decisions
been made.

1207
00:59:15,247 --> 00:59:16,640
You're just gonna have
to trust me.

1208
00:59:23,124 --> 00:59:26,258
I can't believe that
Andrew would do this.

1209
00:59:27,302 --> 00:59:29,609
I know things have been tough,
but surely-

1210
00:59:29,653 --> 00:59:31,785
Have you heard the news!

1211
00:59:31,829 --> 00:59:35,528
Puttnam putting the Luminarias
back on the calendar for a week.

1212
00:59:35,572 --> 00:59:37,443
And we're going to do Midnight
Madness again!

1213
00:59:37,486 --> 00:59:38,400
What?

1214
00:59:38,444 --> 00:59:39,967
How did this happen?

1215
00:59:40,011 --> 00:59:43,144
Well you lit a fire under
the chamber Claire.

1216
00:59:43,188 --> 00:59:44,885
Oh, we start decorating tonight.

1217
00:59:44,929 --> 00:59:46,974
We need volunteers.

1218
00:59:47,018 --> 00:59:48,846
- Yes.
- Yeah, okay, cool!

1219
00:59:48,889 --> 00:59:49,977
Okay.

1220
00:59:54,982 --> 00:59:57,115
When were you going
to tell me?

1221
00:59:57,158 --> 00:59:58,856
I'm family for God's sake!

1222
01:00:02,860 --> 01:00:04,209
I didn't wanna
say anything

1223
01:00:04,252 --> 01:00:06,472
until I knew it was certain.

1224
01:00:08,387 --> 01:00:10,868
If you think that
I'm going to stay here

1225
01:00:10,911 --> 01:00:13,784
and run the bookstore for
George Puttnam,

1226
01:00:13,827 --> 01:00:15,960
you have another thing coming.

1227
01:00:16,003 --> 01:00:17,701
I'm only here because of you.

1228
01:00:18,702 --> 01:00:20,834
I made a promise to your mother.

1229
01:00:24,969 --> 01:00:25,796
I'm sorry.

1230
01:00:29,538 --> 01:00:31,105
You represent this
family.

1231
01:00:31,149 --> 01:00:33,673
As long as you own the bookstore
you will be there.

1232
01:00:36,241 --> 01:00:38,069
I'm disappointed in you Andrew.

1233
01:00:47,034 --> 01:00:48,819
Alright!

1234
01:00:48,862 --> 01:00:52,257
George and Ernie, if you could
start at the General Store.

1235
01:00:52,300 --> 01:00:54,868
Father Luke and Erin are
on sand brigade.

1236
01:00:54,912 --> 01:00:56,130
I will just give us
a shovel

1237
01:00:56,174 --> 01:00:57,741
we'll get to work.

1238
01:00:57,784 --> 01:01:01,353
And Claire and Andrew,
I have you on candle duty.

1239
01:01:01,396 --> 01:01:02,963
Can I trust you with a lighter?

1240
01:01:03,007 --> 01:01:04,095
Very funny.

1241
01:01:04,138 --> 01:01:06,663
I could do this by myself.

1242
01:01:06,706 --> 01:01:08,708
Yeah, and I can't stay
very long.

1243
01:01:08,752 --> 01:01:12,233
No, we need every able
bodied person we can find.

1244
01:01:12,277 --> 01:01:14,018
What are Luminarias without
candles?

1245
01:01:14,061 --> 01:01:15,236
Go!

1246
01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:16,281
Light this town!

1247
01:01:16,324 --> 01:01:17,456
Let's go!

1248
01:01:18,675 --> 01:01:20,372
Hey guys, thanks for coming.

1249
01:01:21,678 --> 01:01:25,203
Look, sorry about
this Claire.

1250
01:01:25,246 --> 01:01:26,857
I didn't mean for us to argue
like that.

1251
01:01:26,900 --> 01:01:29,729
Oh no, you know what,
it's not your fault.

1252
01:01:29,773 --> 01:01:30,861
I shouldn't of said anything.

1253
01:01:30,904 --> 01:01:32,036
I mean I'm just a guest.

1254
01:01:32,079 --> 01:01:33,733
It's not really any of
my business.

1255
01:01:33,777 --> 01:01:36,605
You're more than a guest
alright, you know that.

1256
01:01:36,649 --> 01:01:38,129
We wouldn't be out here
in the freezing cold

1257
01:01:38,172 --> 01:01:40,827
lighting these stupid candles
if it wasn't for you.

1258
01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:44,483
Okay, well, can you
explain it to me

1259
01:01:44,526 --> 01:01:45,876
because I really don't
understand why you

1260
01:01:45,919 --> 01:01:47,181
have to sell the bookstore.

1261
01:01:49,270 --> 01:01:51,316
Ever since
my folks died,

1262
01:01:51,359 --> 01:01:53,361
the bookstore has consumed
my life.

1263
01:01:55,363 --> 01:01:57,975
I don't travel, I don't date.

1264
01:02:00,325 --> 01:02:02,457
I mean I'd like to start
a family some day.

1265
01:02:02,501 --> 01:02:04,285
Look at what Luke and Erin
are doing,

1266
01:02:04,329 --> 01:02:06,287
I'm thinking why can't
that be me?

1267
01:02:08,812 --> 01:02:11,249
Well yeah, I mean
everybody deserves their dreams.

1268
01:02:11,292 --> 01:02:13,730
Just, I don't wanna fix
broken pipes anymore.

1269
01:02:14,861 --> 01:02:16,428
I wanna do blacksmithing
full-time.

1270
01:02:16,471 --> 01:02:17,777
Maybe open up my own shop.

1271
01:02:17,821 --> 01:02:19,692
But I can't do that with
the bookstore

1272
01:02:19,736 --> 01:02:23,261
hanging over my head.
I just...

1273
01:02:23,304 --> 01:02:25,959
I need a clean break so I can

1274
01:02:27,134 --> 01:02:28,745
just focus on my life
for a change.

1275
01:02:29,833 --> 01:02:31,835
Yeah, I mean I get it.

1276
01:02:31,878 --> 01:02:33,184
It's complicated.

1277
01:02:38,276 --> 01:02:41,192
Alright, that's all of them so
let's get some more.

1278
01:02:41,235 --> 01:02:42,323
Okay.

1279
01:02:45,239 --> 01:02:46,937
Great uh?

1280
01:02:46,980 --> 01:02:49,026
As much as it pains me
to say this,

1281
01:02:49,069 --> 01:02:51,376
I should've listened to you.

1282
01:02:51,419 --> 01:02:53,204
I was not expecting you
to say that.

1283
01:02:54,683 --> 01:02:56,947
I have a news crew
coming from Burlington.

1284
01:02:56,990 --> 01:02:58,383
They wanna do a report,

1285
01:02:58,426 --> 01:03:01,081
Christmas Return To Glastenbury
After The Flood.

1286
01:03:01,125 --> 01:03:04,955
That's good news for the
new owner of Fortenbury's.

1287
01:03:05,564 --> 01:03:06,913
- You know?
- Mm hm.

1288
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:11,265
Look, I'll take good
care of the place alright?

1289
01:03:11,309 --> 01:03:13,137
You have nothing to worry about.

1290
01:03:13,180 --> 01:03:14,660
Excuse me.

1291
01:03:14,703 --> 01:03:17,750
Excuse me, I'm Alicia's mom.

1292
01:03:17,794 --> 01:03:19,273
Delores.

1293
01:03:19,317 --> 01:03:21,928
Oh, it's so nice
to meet you!

1294
01:03:21,972 --> 01:03:24,322
We love having your daughter
at the bookstore.

1295
01:03:24,365 --> 01:03:26,803
She talks about you
all the time.

1296
01:03:26,846 --> 01:03:28,152
Awe.

1297
01:03:28,195 --> 01:03:30,850
You know she's really stepped
up to the plate.

1298
01:03:30,894 --> 01:03:32,286
We're very proud of her.

1299
01:03:32,330 --> 01:03:35,072
You know, she told me she wanted
to be a writer.

1300
01:03:35,115 --> 01:03:36,769
I mean we were talking
about NYU.

1301
01:03:38,075 --> 01:03:39,163
Last summer she told
everyone

1302
01:03:39,206 --> 01:03:41,121
she wanted to be a veterinarian.

1303
01:03:41,165 --> 01:03:44,603
A writer, that's all fine and
good for someone like you,

1304
01:03:44,646 --> 01:03:47,345
but she's gonna need to
earn a living.

1305
01:03:48,259 --> 01:03:50,087
During the off-season,
we have Alicia working

1306
01:03:50,130 --> 01:03:52,654
at the Christmas tree farm
after school.

1307
01:03:52,698 --> 01:03:55,875
Oh yeah, she told me
that business has been slow.

1308
01:03:55,919 --> 01:03:57,659
I'm really sorry to hear that.

1309
01:03:57,703 --> 01:04:00,053
There's not a lot of
opportunity for a girl like her

1310
01:04:00,097 --> 01:04:01,576
in a place like Glastenbury.

1311
01:04:01,620 --> 01:04:03,274
Well with
all do respect,

1312
01:04:03,317 --> 01:04:05,580
I actually grew up a lot like
your daughter.

1313
01:04:05,624 --> 01:04:09,062
And she's a feracious reader.

1314
01:04:10,759 --> 01:04:12,936
She observes the world with
a keen eye,

1315
01:04:12,979 --> 01:04:15,852
she's just really really
talented.

1316
01:04:15,895 --> 01:04:17,549
Training her to take
over the family business

1317
01:04:17,592 --> 01:04:19,203
is very important to us.

1318
01:04:19,246 --> 01:04:21,901
Right, of course.

1319
01:04:21,945 --> 01:04:23,903
I have to be realistic.

1320
01:04:25,035 --> 01:04:26,558
Well you know, I've been
trying to listen to my gut more,

1321
01:04:26,601 --> 01:04:29,343
and my gut is telling me
that Alicia

1322
01:04:29,387 --> 01:04:32,129
is a very special girl with
a very bright future.

1323
01:04:33,347 --> 01:04:35,219
There's a family
tradition here.

1324
01:04:35,262 --> 01:04:37,569
Oh I'm sorry, I did
not mean to-

1325
01:04:37,612 --> 01:04:39,788
You're on vacation
here, correct?

1326
01:04:39,832 --> 01:04:44,010
Enjoy your stay at Glastenbury
but I need Alicia back.

1327
01:05:07,338 --> 01:05:09,296
I'm so sorry, she wants
you to be at

1328
01:05:09,340 --> 01:05:11,168
the Christmas tree farm
after school.

1329
01:05:12,691 --> 01:05:14,475
Always messing
with my life.

1330
01:05:15,215 --> 01:05:16,651
I hate it.

1331
01:05:16,695 --> 01:05:18,218
I know, I know it feels
like that.

1332
01:05:19,785 --> 01:05:23,963
But there's gonna be so many
other opportunities.

1333
01:05:24,007 --> 01:05:25,965
No there won't.

1334
01:05:26,009 --> 01:05:28,489
You're going back to New York.

1335
01:05:28,533 --> 01:05:30,187
The bookstore...

1336
01:05:33,277 --> 01:05:34,539
What happens to me?

1337
01:05:40,458 --> 01:05:43,591
You know, I was an
independent kid just like you.

1338
01:05:43,635 --> 01:05:45,332
And I'm telling you,

1339
01:05:45,376 --> 01:05:48,292
there's gonna be so much
time in your life

1340
01:05:48,335 --> 01:05:49,946
for you to do whatever you want.

1341
01:05:52,252 --> 01:05:53,558
What about now?

1342
01:05:54,820 --> 01:05:56,213
Now you just have to
read every book

1343
01:05:56,256 --> 01:05:58,302
you can get your hands on

1344
01:05:58,345 --> 01:05:59,956
and keep writing your
short stories.

1345
01:06:01,566 --> 01:06:02,915
Okay?

1346
01:06:03,350 --> 01:06:04,786
Okay?

1347
01:06:04,830 --> 01:06:06,484
I know you can feel stuck here
in Glastenbury,

1348
01:06:06,527 --> 01:06:10,836
but I promise you, you can get
out of here one day.

1349
01:06:17,495 --> 01:06:19,018
I'm so sorry honey.

1350
01:06:28,288 --> 01:06:29,986
Claire, you have
to let this go.

1351
01:06:34,338 --> 01:06:35,556
What was that?

1352
01:06:39,299 --> 01:06:40,605
Oh my god.

1353
01:06:40,648 --> 01:06:42,781
Oh my god, oh my god,
what can I do?

1354
01:06:42,824 --> 01:06:43,869
Grab a bucket,
grab a bucket!

1355
01:06:43,912 --> 01:06:45,218
Are you okay?

1356
01:06:45,262 --> 01:06:46,915
- Yes, yes.
- Here, come on down.

1357
01:06:48,178 --> 01:06:50,397
I'm just a bit soggy.

1358
01:06:50,441 --> 01:06:51,355
Okay, can you turn off
the main waterline?

1359
01:06:51,398 --> 01:06:52,356
Yes.

1360
01:06:53,922 --> 01:06:55,054
Are we gonna be able
to open tomorrow?

1361
01:06:55,098 --> 01:06:56,273
'Cause it's Midnight Madness

1362
01:06:56,316 --> 01:06:58,449
and we have the open mic
and I've got

1363
01:06:58,492 --> 01:07:01,017
a guest list of people like
three pages long.

1364
01:07:01,060 --> 01:07:03,280
I mean, I can fix the
pipe, that's easy.

1365
01:07:03,323 --> 01:07:04,629
It's just predicting when
the rest of

1366
01:07:04,672 --> 01:07:05,934
this old place is gonna
fall apart.

1367
01:07:05,978 --> 01:07:07,501
That's a little harder.

1368
01:07:09,025 --> 01:07:10,635
I'm gonna leave you two
to figure this all out.

1369
01:07:10,678 --> 01:07:14,073
There's much too much excitement
for an old gal like me.

1370
01:07:14,117 --> 01:07:15,292
Okay, I'll lock up.

1371
01:07:15,335 --> 01:07:16,684
- Thank you.
- Night.

1372
01:07:20,123 --> 01:07:21,907
Just leave it til tomorrow.

1373
01:07:21,950 --> 01:07:24,910
No, I wanna get it
cleaned up so, you know--

1374
01:07:24,953 --> 01:07:26,477
Oh, ...

1375
01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:29,262
See, this is why I want
out Claire.

1376
01:07:30,568 --> 01:07:32,483
Running this place is someone
elses dream.

1377
01:07:32,526 --> 01:07:34,050
Not mine.

1378
01:07:48,107 --> 01:07:50,805
I was just thinking of
telling people

1379
01:07:50,849 --> 01:07:52,938
that Santa couldn't get down
the chimney

1380
01:07:52,981 --> 01:07:55,332
so he cut a hole in the ceiling.

1381
01:07:57,725 --> 01:07:58,987
That's very cute.

1382
01:08:02,339 --> 01:08:04,602
I've been looking at the
train schedule

1383
01:08:04,645 --> 01:08:08,519
and I think I might go
back early.

1384
01:08:08,562 --> 01:08:11,478
Claire, don't give
up on us.

1385
01:08:12,479 --> 01:08:13,785
I know, I just don't
know what I'm doing here

1386
01:08:13,828 --> 01:08:16,048
- anymore.
- Well I do.

1387
01:08:16,092 --> 01:08:17,919
You have a job to do, do it.

1388
01:08:19,878 --> 01:08:22,402
Bucket brigade
to the rescue!

1389
01:08:22,446 --> 01:08:23,969
The what?

1390
01:08:24,665 --> 01:08:27,277
We heard there was a
flooding of epic proportions.

1391
01:08:27,320 --> 01:08:28,582
Where shall we start?

1392
01:08:28,626 --> 01:08:29,322
No, no, no.

1393
01:08:29,366 --> 01:08:31,019
Oh my gosh, Barb.

1394
01:08:31,063 --> 01:08:34,240
No, no, I can't ask you
to do that.

1395
01:08:34,284 --> 01:08:36,024
Too late, we're here!

1396
01:08:36,068 --> 01:08:38,723
Oh my gosh, I don't even
know some of you.

1397
01:08:38,766 --> 01:08:40,420
Well they know
who you are.

1398
01:08:40,464 --> 01:08:42,640
You're the lady who brought
Christmas back to Main Street.

1399
01:08:42,683 --> 01:08:45,730
Oh Barb,
you're so sweet.

1400
01:08:45,773 --> 01:08:48,124
Honestly, I don't even know
what to say.

1401
01:08:50,952 --> 01:08:52,867
"I will honor Christmas
in my heart

1402
01:08:52,911 --> 01:08:55,566
"and try to keep it
all the year.

1403
01:08:55,609 --> 01:08:59,222
"I will live in the past,
present, and the future.

1404
01:09:00,484 --> 01:09:03,617
"The spirits of all three shall
strive within me.

1405
01:09:03,661 --> 01:09:07,665
"I will not shut out the lessons
that they teach."

1406
01:09:13,758 --> 01:09:15,803
Before I open up the mic
I just wanted

1407
01:09:15,847 --> 01:09:17,022
to say a few words.

1408
01:09:18,980 --> 01:09:22,897
The past three weeks have
been amazing.

1409
01:09:24,072 --> 01:09:26,597
You've all welcomed me to your
community like I was family.

1410
01:09:26,640 --> 01:09:30,992
And I just want you to know,
I'm so grateful for that.

1411
01:09:34,866 --> 01:09:37,869
You know, I find it truly
inspiring that

1412
01:09:37,912 --> 01:09:39,784
despite everything that you've
gone through

1413
01:09:39,827 --> 01:09:41,829
you've still come together

1414
01:09:41,873 --> 01:09:45,355
to celebrate the most wonderful
time of year.

1415
01:09:45,398 --> 01:09:46,225
Thanks to you.

1416
01:09:49,141 --> 01:09:51,535
And I'm gonna miss you
all so much

1417
01:09:51,578 --> 01:09:52,840
when I leave tomorrow.

1418
01:09:56,366 --> 01:09:58,933
I think my mother really
captured the magic

1419
01:09:58,977 --> 01:10:00,587
of Glastenbury in her painting.

1420
01:10:01,980 --> 01:10:04,200
And I'm just so thankful that I

1421
01:10:04,243 --> 01:10:06,811
was able to experience it
through my own eyes.

1422
01:10:08,639 --> 01:10:10,162
So thank you.

1423
01:10:12,295 --> 01:10:13,513
Merry Christmas.

1424
01:10:20,172 --> 01:10:21,304
No you can stay.

1425
01:10:21,347 --> 01:10:23,610
You can join our choir.

1426
01:11:05,652 --> 01:11:07,437
- Hey.
- Oh hey!

1427
01:11:07,480 --> 01:11:09,613
Could you believe the crowds
last night?

1428
01:11:09,656 --> 01:11:11,658
Best Midnight Madness since 02.

1429
01:11:11,702 --> 01:11:13,791
Well, if you build it
they will come right?

1430
01:11:15,401 --> 01:11:18,056
I feel like I'm leaving this
place better than I found it.

1431
01:11:18,099 --> 01:11:19,710
Well that's an
understatement.

1432
01:11:21,494 --> 01:11:23,757
We need another box of
photos at the bookstore

1433
01:11:23,801 --> 01:11:25,411
and I'm not gonna be here, so?

1434
01:11:25,455 --> 01:11:26,891
I'm on it.

1435
01:11:26,934 --> 01:11:29,328
Listen, I've gotta run down
the hall for a sec,

1436
01:11:29,372 --> 01:11:31,287
could you stick around?

1437
01:11:31,330 --> 01:11:32,897
Yeah, sure, why?

1438
01:11:32,940 --> 01:11:34,507
Well we're considering
a new marketing campaign

1439
01:11:34,551 --> 01:11:37,989
for next Christmas that I'd like
to run by you.

1440
01:11:38,032 --> 01:11:39,817
For someone who isn't from here,

1441
01:11:39,860 --> 01:11:41,471
you sure have a keen sense for
the marketplace.

1442
01:11:41,514 --> 01:11:43,299
You know your stuff.

1443
01:11:44,387 --> 01:11:45,692
Thank you.

1444
01:12:25,645 --> 01:12:27,908
Andrew, he lied to you.

1445
01:12:29,867 --> 01:12:31,564
Putnam's not going to keep
the bookstore.

1446
01:12:31,608 --> 01:12:32,957
I saw the plans in his office.

1447
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:35,873
He's gonna subdivide the space
and rent it out.

1448
01:12:35,916 --> 01:12:37,614
He's not even gonna keep
the Fortenbury sign

1449
01:12:37,657 --> 01:12:38,876
- on the building.
- No that's impossible.

1450
01:12:38,919 --> 01:12:40,312
- He gave me his word.
- No, I know,

1451
01:12:40,356 --> 01:12:41,879
but that might have been
the original deal

1452
01:12:41,922 --> 01:12:44,360
but since business has
been picking up

1453
01:12:44,403 --> 01:12:46,666
he can rent it out and get
three times the rent.

1454
01:12:48,059 --> 01:12:49,582
You're gonna cancel
the contract right?

1455
01:12:51,279 --> 01:12:53,543
Andrew, if you sell there's
gonna be no more Fortenbury's.

1456
01:12:53,586 --> 01:12:56,546
Look, don't tell me what
I can and can't do.

1457
01:12:56,589 --> 01:12:57,721
I'm not.

1458
01:12:57,764 --> 01:12:59,679
I'm just trying to help.

1459
01:12:59,723 --> 01:13:00,898
It's not to late, I can call
my sister-

1460
01:13:00,941 --> 01:13:02,682
What is it with you?

1461
01:13:02,726 --> 01:13:04,205
Was coming up here a way
of escaping

1462
01:13:04,249 --> 01:13:05,424
your problems in New York?

1463
01:13:07,034 --> 01:13:08,122
Is that what you think?

1464
01:13:08,166 --> 01:13:09,733
I don't know what
to think.

1465
01:13:09,776 --> 01:13:12,170
I do know that I have to get
on with my life.

1466
01:13:13,824 --> 01:13:15,434
Just don't sell.

1467
01:13:15,478 --> 01:13:16,566
It's my decision okay.

1468
01:13:16,609 --> 01:13:17,871
I'll deal with the regret.

1469
01:13:17,915 --> 01:13:20,221
So you work on fixing
your life Claire,

1470
01:13:21,179 --> 01:13:22,485
not mine.

1471
01:13:25,052 --> 01:13:27,620
You know, coming out
here made me realize

1472
01:13:27,664 --> 01:13:29,056
that I need to find
my own family

1473
01:13:29,100 --> 01:13:30,971
and start my own traditions.

1474
01:13:31,015 --> 01:13:33,539
And I'm not gonna sit here and
watch you give up yours.

1475
01:13:38,326 --> 01:13:40,416
Why are you so invested
in this place, hm?

1476
01:13:42,722 --> 01:13:45,464
It's not this place
Andrew!

1477
01:13:45,508 --> 01:13:47,379
I am invested in you.

1478
01:13:48,859 --> 01:13:50,687
And what this might turn into.

1479
01:13:51,905 --> 01:13:54,125
We're going in different
directions Claire.

1480
01:13:54,168 --> 01:13:55,605
But we don't have to.

1481
01:13:57,998 --> 01:13:59,609
I don't know how to make
that work.

1482
01:14:09,227 --> 01:14:10,315
Okay.

1483
01:14:11,925 --> 01:14:13,579
Then it's best that I go.

1484
01:14:33,077 --> 01:14:35,645
I really wish
you'd reconsider.

1485
01:14:38,430 --> 01:14:40,954
I know, I just can't.

1486
01:14:47,091 --> 01:14:50,660
You know, I never got to
know my own grandmother.

1487
01:14:50,703 --> 01:14:54,620
But, in the last three weeks,

1488
01:14:56,883 --> 01:14:58,494
you've kinda given me a glimpse.

1489
01:15:04,108 --> 01:15:05,805
Did I make a mess of everything?

1490
01:15:06,980 --> 01:15:09,983
No, no, you have
been my anchor.

1491
01:15:11,985 --> 01:15:14,335
Oh my nephew is stubborn
and proud

1492
01:15:14,379 --> 01:15:16,424
and he likes to do things
his way.

1493
01:15:16,468 --> 01:15:18,122
A little bit like you.

1494
01:15:19,558 --> 01:15:21,342
There's only three days
til Christmas,

1495
01:15:22,256 --> 01:15:23,736
why don't you stay?

1496
01:15:23,780 --> 01:15:25,303
Finish out the season.

1497
01:15:28,741 --> 01:15:30,090
I just can't.

1498
01:15:30,613 --> 01:15:32,136
I can't do it.

1499
01:15:35,400 --> 01:15:39,186
Would you give this to Alicia
for me if she comes by?

1500
01:15:39,230 --> 01:15:40,753
Of course.

1501
01:15:40,797 --> 01:15:42,233
I just don't want her to
think that I left

1502
01:15:42,276 --> 01:15:43,539
without saying goodbye.

1503
01:15:47,107 --> 01:15:48,326
Don't forget about us.

1504
01:15:49,414 --> 01:15:50,720
That would be
impossible.

1505
01:15:55,246 --> 01:15:56,552
Hey.

1506
01:16:02,819 --> 01:16:05,125
- Hey.
- Claire.

1507
01:16:05,169 --> 01:16:06,953
I was sorry to hear that you
were leaving so soon.

1508
01:16:06,997 --> 01:16:07,954
I know, I know,
I've just gotta

1509
01:16:07,998 --> 01:16:10,087
get back to the city.

1510
01:16:10,130 --> 01:16:11,871
Hey, hey Dash.

1511
01:16:14,613 --> 01:16:16,310
Are you gonna take care of all
my new friends for me

1512
01:16:16,354 --> 01:16:17,703
while I'm gone?

1513
01:16:17,747 --> 01:16:19,096
Yeah?

1514
01:16:22,665 --> 01:16:26,146
You have the best Christmas
ever okay?

1515
01:16:26,190 --> 01:16:27,800
Claire, you don't
need to go.

1516
01:16:27,844 --> 01:16:29,672
I think you can

1517
01:16:29,715 --> 01:16:31,543
maybe stay around another
couple days?

1518
01:16:33,458 --> 01:16:35,068
Yeah.

1519
01:16:35,112 --> 01:16:37,767
I gotta go.

1520
01:16:37,810 --> 01:16:38,855
I'm gonna miss you.

1521
01:16:38,898 --> 01:16:40,378
Yeah.

1522
01:16:57,177 --> 01:16:59,310
You really blew that
one didn't ya?

1523
01:17:11,409 --> 01:17:13,498
Can't you just put
a red or a green

1524
01:17:13,541 --> 01:17:16,109
or like even a blue?

1525
01:17:16,153 --> 01:17:18,851
Are you still in
culture shock after Glastenbury?

1526
01:17:19,983 --> 01:17:21,245
I have no idea.

1527
01:17:38,218 --> 01:17:39,785
You miss it all, huh?

1528
01:17:47,401 --> 01:17:48,620
Here's the last of them.

1529
01:17:48,664 --> 01:17:50,143
Thank you.

1530
01:17:50,187 --> 01:17:52,189
I really appreciate you
coming in Alicia.

1531
01:17:52,232 --> 01:17:53,451
Are you kidding?

1532
01:17:53,494 --> 01:17:55,888
I was so excited.

1533
01:17:55,932 --> 01:17:58,108
I'm so happy to be back.

1534
01:17:58,151 --> 01:18:00,066
I can't believe my mother
said yes.

1535
01:18:00,110 --> 01:18:01,589
Well, I told her we
couldn't manage the final

1536
01:18:01,633 --> 01:18:03,026
days of the bookstore
without you.

1537
01:18:04,244 --> 01:18:07,160
Come on, no sad faces.

1538
01:18:07,204 --> 01:18:09,249
We're all gonna be better off
for this, right?

1539
01:18:14,602 --> 01:18:15,778
Is Claire here?

1540
01:18:18,911 --> 01:18:19,956
Nope.

1541
01:18:19,999 --> 01:18:21,435
She helped me
last week

1542
01:18:21,479 --> 01:18:23,873
and I found the most perfect
gift for my daughter.

1543
01:18:26,092 --> 01:18:27,877
She went back
to New York.

1544
01:18:29,400 --> 01:18:32,664
Oh, I thought she was
part of the family.

1545
01:18:32,708 --> 01:18:34,100
Oh that's too bad.

1546
01:18:34,144 --> 01:18:35,536
I really liked her.

1547
01:18:35,580 --> 01:18:36,799
We did too.

1548
01:18:38,452 --> 01:18:40,890
Is there anything I can
help you with?

1549
01:18:40,933 --> 01:18:42,239
Yes.

1550
01:18:49,289 --> 01:18:50,769
Where are you going?

1551
01:18:50,813 --> 01:18:51,814
I've got one last batch
of bells to finish up

1552
01:18:51,857 --> 01:18:53,424
and try out some new signs.

1553
01:18:53,467 --> 01:18:55,121
Oh Claire would have
loved to have seen those.

1554
01:18:55,165 --> 01:18:57,950
Can we not talk about
her please?

1555
01:19:09,092 --> 01:19:11,224
Alright, it's finished!

1556
01:19:11,268 --> 01:19:12,965
- Let's take a selfie post it.
- I don't wanna do that.

1557
01:19:13,009 --> 01:19:13,836
No, come on,
we're doing it.

1558
01:19:13,879 --> 01:19:15,054
Come, come!

1559
01:19:16,316 --> 01:19:17,927
Smile, come on, real smile.

1560
01:19:17,970 --> 01:19:18,928
Yeah?

1561
01:19:20,712 --> 01:19:21,844
Cheese.

1562
01:19:21,887 --> 01:19:23,193
Oh stop.

1563
01:19:25,325 --> 01:19:26,674
It's cute, no stop it.

1564
01:19:26,718 --> 01:19:28,241
I don't wanna do it anymore.

1565
01:19:28,285 --> 01:19:29,721
I did one!

1566
01:19:29,765 --> 01:19:30,591
- Oh my gosh.
- I'm just doing me.

1567
01:19:30,635 --> 01:19:31,897
Stop.

1568
01:19:36,206 --> 01:19:37,468
It's a great book.

1569
01:19:38,861 --> 01:19:41,994
Mrs. T, could you get me
some more ribbon

1570
01:19:42,038 --> 01:19:44,344
and some of that striped
wrapping paper please?

1571
01:19:44,388 --> 01:19:46,259
- Yes of course dear.
- Thank you.

1572
01:20:22,861 --> 01:20:25,690
Oh, this is not much of
a Christmas Eve dinner.

1573
01:20:25,733 --> 01:20:26,996
No, it's gonna be great.

1574
01:20:27,039 --> 01:20:28,345
And when the guys get
here we can

1575
01:20:28,388 --> 01:20:29,912
watch It's A Wonderful Life.

1576
01:20:42,054 --> 01:20:44,883
Hey Suz, come here.

1577
01:20:47,712 --> 01:20:48,669
Look.

1578
01:20:52,412 --> 01:20:53,805
That's moms
handwriting.

1579
01:20:57,287 --> 01:20:58,505
Where'd you get that?

1580
01:21:02,161 --> 01:21:03,859
Mrs. T and Alicia
sent it to me.

1581
01:21:07,558 --> 01:21:08,864
Mom's right.

1582
01:21:11,170 --> 01:21:13,607
If I have dream, I have
to go after it.

1583
01:21:14,130 --> 01:21:15,131
What do you mean?

1584
01:21:17,873 --> 01:21:20,832
Suz I could barely get
through the day today.

1585
01:21:20,876 --> 01:21:21,877
You're gonna get back
into the swing of it okay?

1586
01:21:21,920 --> 01:21:22,921
No, no, I know.

1587
01:21:22,965 --> 01:21:25,315
But that's exactly the problem.

1588
01:21:25,358 --> 01:21:27,970
I don't wanna get back into
the swing of things.

1589
01:21:28,013 --> 01:21:30,276
I just wanna do something that
matters to me.

1590
01:21:30,320 --> 01:21:32,191
Okay, like what?

1591
01:21:32,235 --> 01:21:33,323
I don't know,
I don't know.

1592
01:21:33,366 --> 01:21:35,629
Something with books, and kids,

1593
01:21:35,673 --> 01:21:37,588
and helping them fulfill
their dreams.

1594
01:21:38,981 --> 01:21:40,243
That's what makes me happy.

1595
01:21:45,422 --> 01:21:48,077
Suz, Suz, say something.

1596
01:21:48,120 --> 01:21:50,253
Are you appalled?

1597
01:21:50,296 --> 01:21:52,168
Am I about to get the big sister
lecture?

1598
01:21:58,478 --> 01:22:00,263
Mom found
her bliss there.

1599
01:22:03,570 --> 01:22:04,920
Why can't you?

1600
01:22:08,924 --> 01:22:11,100
Okay.

1601
01:22:11,143 --> 01:22:13,929
Okay, I'm gonna go back.

1602
01:22:13,972 --> 01:22:15,843
I mean it's the right
thing to do

1603
01:22:15,887 --> 01:22:17,802
and I just have to put
away my pride

1604
01:22:17,845 --> 01:22:19,673
and my hurt feelings.

1605
01:22:19,717 --> 01:22:21,414
I just can't walk out on them.

1606
01:22:22,720 --> 01:22:24,852
You mean you can't
walk out on him?

1607
01:22:26,898 --> 01:22:28,595
Oh my god, I miss him
so much!

1608
01:22:28,639 --> 01:22:31,337
- Is that totally crazy?
- Not at all.

1609
01:22:46,570 --> 01:22:47,614
Morning sweetheart.

1610
01:22:47,658 --> 01:22:48,964
Hey!

1611
01:22:50,530 --> 01:22:53,490
I'm sorry to get you up
so early.

1612
01:22:53,533 --> 01:22:56,884
I just, I took the last train
out of New York, I promise.

1613
01:22:56,928 --> 01:22:58,190
Anything for you Claire.

1614
01:23:00,627 --> 01:23:01,541
Merry Christmas.

1615
01:23:01,585 --> 01:23:02,978
Oh, Merry Christmas.

1616
01:23:32,268 --> 01:23:34,009
Ernie what happened around here?

1617
01:23:34,052 --> 01:23:35,140
It's...

1618
01:23:35,923 --> 01:23:37,142
You.

1619
01:24:02,298 --> 01:24:03,386
Mrs. T.

1620
01:24:16,094 --> 01:24:17,356
Claire?

1621
01:24:18,792 --> 01:24:21,230
Andrew, I had to come
back because...

1622
01:24:30,413 --> 01:24:31,805
I missed you.

1623
01:24:31,849 --> 01:24:34,112
Oh my god I've been
so miserable.

1624
01:24:34,156 --> 01:24:35,200
I'm sorry
I let you leave.

1625
01:24:35,244 --> 01:24:37,072
I'm sorry I left.

1626
01:24:37,115 --> 01:24:39,030
You know, someone once
told me that

1627
01:24:39,074 --> 01:24:40,118
Christmas let's us see
the things

1628
01:24:40,162 --> 01:24:41,293
that we really care about.

1629
01:24:41,337 --> 01:24:43,252
And I care about this town,

1630
01:24:43,295 --> 01:24:45,254
and I care about this bookstore,

1631
01:24:45,297 --> 01:24:47,821
most of all, I care about you.

1632
01:24:50,607 --> 01:24:52,522
So, does that mean

1633
01:24:52,565 --> 01:24:55,046
we get to keep the
bookstore though?

1634
01:24:55,090 --> 01:24:57,875
We can't sell
this place.

1635
01:24:57,918 --> 01:24:59,746
I am gonna need someone
to run it though.

1636
01:24:59,790 --> 01:25:01,096
You know anyone?

1637
01:25:02,749 --> 01:25:04,360
I don't know, I'm gonna
have to check.

1638
01:25:04,403 --> 01:25:05,578
Okay, well you let me
know.

1639
01:25:05,622 --> 01:25:06,579
I'll send out
some texts.

1640
01:25:06,623 --> 01:25:09,539
I'll let you know.

1641
01:25:10,975 --> 01:25:12,107
Okay.

1642
01:25:12,150 --> 01:25:13,412
Okay, okay, come on.

1643
01:25:13,456 --> 01:25:15,153
We are gonna be late.

1644
01:25:15,197 --> 01:25:16,285
- Late?
- Yup.

1645
01:25:20,463 --> 01:25:22,029
Merry Christmas.

1646
01:25:22,073 --> 01:25:23,640
- Merry Christmas.
- It's nice to see you.

1647
01:25:23,683 --> 01:25:25,120
Merry Christmas, lots of room.

1648
01:25:26,425 --> 01:25:27,296
Hi Merry Christmas.

1649
01:25:27,339 --> 01:25:28,079
Your back's all better, great.

1650
01:25:28,123 --> 01:25:29,254
Hey.

1651
01:25:29,298 --> 01:25:30,734
Thank you, thank you.

1652
01:25:34,564 --> 01:25:36,261
Oh, Claire, welcome back.

1653
01:25:44,095 --> 01:25:46,967
Don't ever leave again.

1654
01:25:47,011 --> 01:25:48,404
I know,
I promise I won't.

1655
01:25:55,237 --> 01:25:57,239
I knew you'd be back.

1656
01:25:59,719 --> 01:26:02,287
Looks like you finally got what
you really wanted.

1657
01:26:04,376 --> 01:26:05,247
Yeah.

1658
01:26:06,900 --> 01:26:08,206
You know what,

1659
01:26:08,250 --> 01:26:10,382
I think I had it all along.
