We still need a theme

885

‐ What's Chandelier Land?
886
00:34:44,916 --> 00:34:48,753
‐ This is my beautiful design,
887
00:34:48,753 --> 00:34:51,840
and I can get all of that stuff
for free from my vendors,
888
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:55,427
and it'll look amazing...
889
00:34:55,427 --> 00:34:57,095

some serious pushback
890
00:34:57,095 --> 00:34:58,555
from the Ghost
of Christmas Past over here.
891
00:34:58,555 --> 00:35:01,766

after all.
892

all together, you know?

what they used to love
899
00:35:19,284 --> 00:35:21,786

and memorable and beautiful,

903

is seriously ticking,

00:35:36,468 --> 00:35:38,803

It's where my Grandpa Tom
met my Grandma June
1038

this Christmas Eve.

1041
00:41:59,475 --> 00:42:00,643

my grandma
1042
00:42:00,643 --> 00:42:01,936
find the perfect tree,
1043
00:42:01,936 --> 00:42:05,356
it started to snow,
so she says,
1044
00:42:05,356 --> 00:42:08,651
"Every year I make a Christmas
wish on a snowflake,
1045
00:42:08,651 --> 00:42:10,945
and you need to make one too."
1046
00:42:10,945 --> 00:42:12,530
They both wished for love,
1047
00:42:12,530 --> 00:42:15,867
and a year later
at this exact spot,
1048
00:42:15,867 --> 00:42:18,703
Tom Anderson
married June Miller.

1050

to celebrate their wedding,
1051
00:42:22,707 --> 00:42:24,709
but it was such a hit,
1052
00:42:24,709 --> 00:42:26,085
they decided to celebrate
every year
1053
00:42:26,085 --> 00:42:27,795
and invite the whole town.
1054
00:42:27,795 --> 00:42:30,757
‐ And a tradition was born.
‐ You got it.
1055
00:42:30,757 --> 00:42:32,925
We used to light
the old pathway of trees here
1056
00:42:32,925 --> 00:42:35,553

Their grandson Adam
was kind enough

to show me a poem
that Tom wrote June

wanted to set it to music
