by VaVooM

Don't tell me you're already
at the office.

Don't tell me you couldn't
help stopping

at the Oak Street Store.

Guilty.

So where are you?

Walking to your office
with a gift from Willa

in four, three, two.

I hope it's her famous
hot chocolate.

So what's up?

Did you want the New Year,
New You promo cards

and the regional manager's
meeting agenda this morning?

Yes, I do.

And can you leave a note

to connect about the store's
food bank tables, too?

This week before Christmas is
when we get the most donations.

You got it.

Hey, Willa said
she wants to see you

after your manager's meeting.

Thanks, Kel.

I'm just gonna head home to
change and I'll be right in.

See you soon.

Bye.

It's so cold!

It's above freezing.

Is it always this cold?

In December? Yes.

January, February,
it's... much colder.

But in March it's practically
tropical.

Like Hawaii?

Not even a little bit.

He wants to be able to go
to Hawaii for the winter.

We are gonna make it special,
yeah?

Alright, there's a cab.
Grab your bags.

Here I'll take them and put them
in the trunk.

Ok.

Alright, organizers,
phone, keys, bag, earrings...

Oh, earring.

It's just I couldn't
find it anywhere.

I checked my sofa cushions,

on top of my fridge,
inside my freezer

because, you know,
that one time,

and still didn't turn up
a match...

So... please never leave me.

Where were they?

Actually, no, don't tell me.

One in the coffee filter...

Don't say the other, please.

By the toner for the copier.

No.

For a woman as organized
as you...

I have a curse when it
comes to jewellery.

It just falls off my body.

Manager's meeting in ten,
I'll grab coffee.

Thanks, Kel.

Ok.

Ok.

There are my boys!

Hey, mom.

Let me get a look at you!

I knew it.
You're taller.

Both of you.

So, do you hug or is that
not something cool

grandkids do anymore?

Oh, John!

I missed you.

And PJ.

You know what I got inside, PJ?

Some pancakes.

Guess what colour.

Red.

Santa shaped.

And tomorrow we're gonna have
green ones.

Christmas trees.

And I can be talked
into whipping up some cream.

What do you say to that?

Ok.

Hey, PJ, aren't you gonna...

No, it's ok.
Don't worry about it.

Sorry about that.

He's really been
going through it.

Oh, hon, they've just been
on two flights overnight

and they just left the only
home they've ever known.

I'm surprised you're not all
a little off.

Mom, can I have some
whipped cream, too?

That's my boy.
Welcome home, honey.

- Come on in.
- The place looks great.

I am so glad you're home.

The decorations are already up?

Hey!

Come on in.
Come on in.

How did your video conference
call go?

It was great.

As promised, forms for Monte's
wrapping paper drive.

Perfect.

I overbought for my girls.

I overbought for your girls,
too.

Well, then they will be
very happy

to see you at Christmas dinner.

Honestly, you've been
the best host every year.

Thank you.

What is it that...
that you wanted?

Well, actually I have a side
job for you...

Good! You're
here early, too.

Scott?

Margie.

Come on in.

Please, sit.

Sit, sit, sit, both of you,

and let me explain why you are
both here together.

Scott here has been doing
an amazing job

in the field with sales,

but he hasn't spent any time
in our corporate trenches.

So we thought we would give him
a survey of all the departments,

starting with marketing,
and Margie,

we thought you would be
the perfect person

to give Scott
the lay of the land.

Are you up for it?

Yeah.

Good.

Scott, we will make sure

that corporate housing
is made available to you

so that you won't have to do

that hour and a half drive
back and forth,

and you two can work
side by side together

through to the first
of the year.

Good?

- Yeah, it's great!
- Great.

Excellent. Ok.

That's it.

- Ok.
- Ok.

- So, hats?
- Have 'em.

Gloves?

On the list.

Scarves? Earmuffs?

What are earmuffs?

Well...

Here you go.

What do you think?

Nice.

So we'll do a shopping
trip tomorrow,

maybe you could tell us
where to go?

I could come with if you'd like.

Sure.

And there's a tree lot
right near one of the shops.

I've been waiting to pick out
a big tree

so you guys could
help me decorate.

And we should go tomorrow,
honestly.

It's one week 'til Christmas.

That's great.

And if Grandma still has
her traditions in place,

tree shopping tomorrow means...

- Cookie baking tonight.
- Yup.

Whether we're in Hawaii or
here, traditions are traditions.

What about our ornaments and our
special family Christmas stuff?

They should be here today.

We sent all our ornaments
and all that stuff

we bought over the years
special delivery.

I will check the shipper's
website to make sure.

Ok.

No, no, the boys can help
with that.

Can you guys help Grandma clear,
please?

No, no, no, no.
You're my guests.

Sit still.

Mom.

We help clear.

Alright.

And whipped cream
with Santa pancakes

isn't breakfast every day,
right?

Right, right.

Maybe every other day.

I heard that.

That'd be great, thanks.

Well, that was something.

Did you know?

I didn't even know you were
coming to the office.

I was gonna surprise you, after
I figured out what was going on.

They didn't even tell you?

My manager just told me
that Willa wanted to see me

at corporate and that
it was good news.

Well, it is good news.

They're grooming you.

Yeah, but for what?

Have you heard anything?

No, I haven't heard anything,
but it's only good.

I mean, you're gonna be ready
for whatever pops up.

Starting with marketing.

And you.

Working side by side until
the beginning of the year.

So, after dating for six months,
90 miles apart,

it's corporate that brings us
to the same zip code?

Well, if it weren't
for this company

we never would have even met,
so cheers to more time together.

I have a lot to teach you.
We gotta go.

Let's go.

Grandma said we can get a sled.

And that there's a market
that has games and food

and lots of Christmas stuff.

After all our Christmases
in Hawaii

it's fun to be here for once,
right?

Yeah.

And brand new pyjamas
every Christmas PJ, My.

We're definitely living here?

We're not going back to Hawaii?
Ever?

Ok guys, what's going on?

I think he's wondering,
since your new job went away,

if we're really gonna be
living here or not.

I know that this is new
and maybe a little scary,

but I'll tell you
what else I know

is that if I got one job
I can get another.

And we didn't just come here
for work.

We came here to be closer
to mom in San Francisco

and Grandma here.

And you know how I look
at things like this, right?

As an adventure?

That's my boy.

Look at that.

Now, grab your toothbrushes
and...

Our toothbrushes.

We left them with
the mover's stuff,

not our backpacks.

Grandma will have extras.

What about my new one that plays
"Jingle Bells" and lights up?

You guys finish up, I'll head to
the store and get a replacement,

and while I'm gone call mom,

let her know we got here
safely, ok?

- Alright.
- Bye.

So it appears I need to go out

and buy a couple of toothbrushes
for the boys.

I've got extra toothbrushes.

Not toothbrushes that play
"Jingle Bells" and light up.

Can I borrow your car?

You know, I've got
a better idea.

Follow me.

You should have sold it by now.

Come on!

When's the last time anyone
took it for a ride?

Well, I take it for a spin to pick up
groceries once in a while.

Mom.

You should see the faces I get

when I pull up to
my book club night.

I remember when your father
bought it.

He swore "I'm gonna fix it up.
We'll have it forever."

He would have loved having
you back home,

spending time with the boys.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

So the least you can do
is take it out

to pick up some toothbrushes.

I've got job leads
and phone calls lined up,

we're gonna have our own place
before you know it.

Honey, you can spend
as much time as you need.

You know that.

But in the meantime, it's
the boys' first Christmas here

and I've been looking
forward to it

ever since you decided to sell
the business and come home.

Don't forget to hit the dash.

So how often do you go
to the store?

As often as I can.

Just randomly, to scare
the managers?

No, I trust my managers
completely.

So you like going there?

I do. I love our stores.

You know, I actually spent
all of

high school and college working
at our Oak Street location,

where Willa was my manager.

It's rare, you know, for someone
to spend their entire career

working for one company anymore.

Yeah.

But I honestly can't imagine
my life without it.

I mean, sometimes I feel like
this place is my entire life

but, you know, I have no plans
to go anywhere.

Well, I can't imagine
they would let you.

This is so weird.

Yeah, but like fun, right?

Yeah, like fun weird.

Do you wanna go out for dinner
tomorrow night?

Or Thursday, or Monday?

Right, because we can?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Suddenly we can decide
when we can fit in a date.

Do you wanna do lunch right now?

I can go down and pick up
this cranberry and apple salad.

I know this place that does it
just in December.

It's like red and green
and all holiday delicious.

I can go grab it
and bring it back.

That sounds great.

Ok.

And you need to keep working.

Margie, I found your charm.

I even put on all the jewellery
you gave me.

You don't have to threaten me
with it.

No, the Christmas tree one
you gave me,

for all of our future
Christmases.

The one that matches
the ornament?

Yes. Why does every piece
of jewellery I own

fall off my body?

I don't understand, either.

I love that charm.

I love you.

I love you, Margie.

Nobody has ever said that
to me before.

Pat?

Pat Godfrey?

Pat! Look behind you!

Margie?

This is so crazy!

How crazy is this?

I saw the convertible
and I just knew...

I was driving it for
the first time in years.

It's been so long!

What're you even doing here?

I was gonna call you
when I got settled, but...

I'm moving back.

You're moving back to Boise?

I'm staying with my mom
for the time being.

I had a job offer but
it kinda fell through.

So you're moving from Hawaii
to Boise in December?

It's a new chapter.

I sold the business there
and now it's time to...

Wait, you ran a business?

If you put it like that.

Well, I wouldn't except
for in high school...

You pulled me through algebra
one, algebra two, geometry...

Trig and...

Ok!

I found my thing in Hawaii.

Adventure tours, outdoor gear...

I did pretty well and got
bought out by Triptik.

Pat, that's amazing.

Hey, wait.

I have something for you.

I always wondered
where this went.

Yeah, it was under the car seat.

When I stopped short it just...
didn't you drop it during prom?

Prom, yes.

Afterward, do you remember?

Yes.

You were always shedding
jewellery in my car,

in my house, at any restaurant
we went to, the movies...

Full disclosure, I still do.

I am so happy to hear that,

because I had this vision
of you in my head

as this fancy, put together
business woman...

Well now my assistant
tracks them for me.

Excuse me, your assistant?

Ok, so I was right.

Fancy business woman.

Ok, so what's your title?
Go ahead, brag.

Regional vice president of
marketing and promotions

at Connor & Co.

And Connor & Co. was
smart enough to keep you around,

and promote you.

Congrats.

Thanks.

So I was just here
grabbing some lunch

to bring back to the office.

I was just gonna grab
some toothbrushes

from the drug store.

Toothbrushes?

How many teeth do you have?

I have two sons and their
toothbrushes ended up

in the shipping pod in the move.

John and PJ,
we're here together.

You're a dad.

So the four of you...

Three of us.
Divorced three years ago.

She lives in San Francisco
and travels for work

so I'm the primary parent
and it is amazingly amicable.

- That's good.
- Yeah.

Well, it was really
great seeing you.

Congratulations on...
on everything.

Hey, you wanna grab
coffee sometime?

Sure.

Yeah, just maybe
after the New Year

when everything settles down.

Yeah, of course, of course.

Here. Give me your number.

There you go.

Yeah.

I will text you mine.

Sure.

And speaking of which, here.

No, no, no.
That is for you.

It's waited 17 years for you.

Thank you.

Ok, well I'll
I'll see you later.

Bye.

So, Margie Southworth, huh?

Unbelievable, right?

Yeah, it's amazing.
How is she?

She's a VP over
at Connor & Co. now.

Good for her.

I always thought she had a good
head on her shoulders.

What?

It's just that,

of all the people on my first
day back on an errand

that I wasn't even supposed
to go on...

You know what I call that, huh?

You know, I gotta get started
on those phone calls.

People are gonna head out
of town for the holidays.

And I've got cookie baking
prep to do.

You're gonna run out of sugar.

Over Christmas?
Never!

I got a job offer, Margie.

In Hawaii.

That's amazing.

For the whole summer?

No, it's a real job.

Wait, what about college?

Well, I'd skip college
and get started.

A job in Hawaii is just
something you can do

until the real thing
comes along.

College is...

Is perfect for you.
But I need to be outside.

That's where my future is.
Come with me.

Find out.

Margie?

Buy one get one numbers?

Yeah.

It's right in here.

I'm actually gonna go to
the Oak Street store for a bit.

Checking the windows again
or checking in with Carmen?

Maybe a little bit of both.

They moved Scott here?

Yeah, temporarily.

Or at least that's what
it sounds like.

And I'm training him.

Face to face.

No more round trip dinners,
long drives.

How do you think it's gonna go?

Great. Why wouldn't it?

Well, your whole thing's been
long distance and slow,

now it's every day
in the office.

That's a lot of expectation
and pressure.

We don't do that whole pressure
thing, alright?

It's very easy between us.
Grown up.

Grown up meaning you spend
six months seeing each other

once or twice a week
having dinner,

watching TV and talking
about work?

That is not...

You've never really felt like he
was the one who was meant to be.

He doesn't give you that

"I'll die if I never see
him again" feeling.

Carmen, that only happens
in the movies.

That's not true.

Tell me you've never had that.

What?

Pat Godfrey moved back to town.

Pat?

From high school?

Yeah, I ran into him in my car.

You ran into his car?

No, no, I mean, we were going
to the same place

at the same time and...

You didn't come here
to tell me about Scott,

you came to talk about Pat.

No, I didn't.

He's got two kids.

He's married? Too bad.

Well, divorced.

No, ok?

It's been like two decades,
we were teenagers,

and listen, if we were meant
to be we would have been.

Anyway, you're biased, ok?

Because you always thought
we were gonna get married.

I gotta go.

Hey, stay away from my windows.

And you thought you were
gonna get married, too,

Margie Southworth.

Hi.

Alright, here's another one.

Where do snowmen
keep their money?

In a snow bank.

That's my boy.

Alright, perfect.

Here they come.

Ok.

They're hot.
Don't touch.

How many do we get
to eat tonight?

None. These are
for tree trimming.

The tree won't mind.

How'd the phone calls go?

I made one, two, three
phone calls today.

Alright, you guys ready
to get cleaned up?

But dad...

And then Sonny the Snowman.

Yeah!

Let's go, come on!

"The moon shone bright
on the last snowfall,

"Sonny the Snowman spun around,
having a ball.

"The boys joined in
amidst the flurry.

"I can do this all night,
don't you worry."

That's some great reading,
buddy.

And we can make our very own
Sonny the Snowman this week.

You know how to make snowmen?

I lived here for 18 years
before I left for Hawaii.

I'm a snowman making expert.

Do you think our Christmas stuff
will come tomorrow?

The shipping company swore
that we would have

our special things in time.

Love you guys.

Love you, too.

Goodnight. Sleep tight.

The boys go down ok?

PJ seems a little out of sorts.

I just want everything to be
the way it usually is for them.

Hey, I was gonna go out
for a bit,

do you mind watching the boys?

No, of course not.

Take all the time you need.

Ok.

Thank you.

Wha!

Come on.

I was just buying
Christmas lights.

Yeah, and I was...

Oddly at the same place
at the same time.

Yeah.

Are you looking for gifts?

No, I was just looking...

for a little bit of that
Christmas I had as a kid.

Hawaii's fantastic but there's
just something special about...

Snow?

The place you grew up.

Yeah.

And you're obviously...

Yeah, I promised myself
I'd finally get

my lights up a week
before Christmas.

Ambitious job.

This is only half of it.

The rest are at my house.

And you're planning on hanging
them all by yourself?

Well, if you had an extra pair
of hands I wouldn't say no.

Wait.

You rappelled down a waterfall

with young children.

Well, it was their idea.

Wait 'til I tell you where
we zip lined.

Please don't say
over a live volcano.

It wasn't active...
at the time.

And you loved every minute
of it.

So much so that you built
an entire business out of it.

It's just being outside all the
time and guiding people through

amazing terrain for the first
time or the 50th time

and every day just
being different.

Aren't you gonna miss it?

Yeah, I will.

But everything changed
in the past few years.

Splitting with my ex, Casey,
selling the business, my dad...

I was so sorry
to hear about him.

He was such an incredible guy.

I just thought, with mom
being all alone

and Casey being
in San Francisco,

that it was just time to...

Start a new adventure?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Your boys are so lucky.

Actually, I'm the lucky one.

Well, daredevil, think you can
put in the final bulb?

Spot me?

Ok, but you know if you fall
we're both going down, right?

It's ok.

Ok.

You are my soft landing.

Ok.

Alright, well just don't
electrocute yourself.

The night is full of danger.

There we go.

Beautiful.

Hot chocolate?

Yeah.

Ok.

My candy cane ornament?
How did you end up with it?

I have no idea.

I still have the charm, too.

And you haven't lost it?
Or the bracelet?

Are you kidding?

I would never let that thing
out of my sight.

I can't remember, what were
the odds of us coming up

with the same gift for each
other six years running?

Well, I am terrible
at math, so...

What do you do for the holidays?
Your folks?

They... they retired
to Arizona.

They were never big holiday
people, anyway.

Right, right. And they're
doing ok?

They are. They're not really
big phone people, either,

so I usually go out there
a couple times a year.

But you know my boss, Willa?

Yeah.

I spend it with her
and her family.

And you never married?
Divorced?

Ran away and joined the circus?

No. No.

None of the above.

Although I-I am seeing somebody
right now.

He works for Connor & Co.

That's great.

How long?

Six months.

Well, I'm really happy for you.

It seems like you've got
a good life.

Well deserved.

Thank you.

Well, I shouldn't have left
the boys for this long

on the first night.

Yeah, and I have numbers to run,
but I'm really glad we did this.

Yeah, me too.

Well, good luck with your move

and your boys and your
next adventure.

Yeah, you too.

I mean, with the stuff
you're doing.

Yeah.

Good morning.

Morning.

Want some coffee?

Biggest cup you've got.

How long have they been up?

Long enough to need a job.

Rough on ya, huh?

No, it's fine.

I remember having one
boisterous boy around the house.

You could have woken me up.

No, I enjoy it, honestly.

And besides, by the time
the pancakes are made

all the ornaments I kept here
will be sorted for trimming.

It's a win-win.

You are spoiling us, you know?

No, you're spoiling me.

I like having a little noise
around the house again.

So, I was asleep when
you got back last night.

How was your drive?

I wound up at Margie's.

You hung out with Pat
last night?

How was it?

It was...

Great.

Really?

Yeah, we had a nice time.

Nice?

She's got a terrific house.

A lot of her decorations
look just like yours.

We hung lights,
we got caught up...

And then we... hugged.

You hugged?

Goodbye.

It was good to see her,
but my priority is the boys.

And now I go back to
my holiday crazy and...

I go back to the job hunt...

Life goes back to normal.

Life goes back to normal.

Hey, boys?
Your mom's calling.

- Yeah.
- Hey Cas.

Alright, it's mom!

Guys?

Here you go.

Johnny boy.

Hi mom!

Mom, look at my earmuffs!

I love them!

We baked Christmas cookies
with Grandma yesterday!

And our Christmas stuff
is supposed to come!

Oh, my goodness.

We've been having a great time.

It's so much fun.

Their boxes?

No deliveries yet
but it's early.

Do you remember
Michelle Shepperd in Seattle?

Her son Patrick is in town
for the holidays.

You used to play with him
when you were kids.

Patrick Shepperd.

Yeah.

Well, he now works for
the Seattle parks district

so I thought it might be a good
person for you to speak to.

Shoot me his number,
I'll give him a call.

Great.

Hey.

How long have you been in?

What's today?

Kelly, it's almost the holidays.
You can afford to relax.

I'll relax after
Valentine's Day.

Twenty-five Christmas party
games for the office party.

I like the gift wrap relay race

and Christmas charades.

Perfect.

Wait, what's this?

Jane from Boise Home Outletters
called you?

That's... nothing.

She's my position over there.

Is she trying to poach you?

I already called her back to
tell her I'm not interested.

Ok, because if someone makes
you an offer please tell me.

You know how much I value you.

Thanks, Margie.

Hey.

I heard a rumour about what they
might be grooming Scott for.

Todd Cray might be taking
another job.

Wait, Todd Cray from
the Midwest office?

He has your same job over there.

You think they're training Scott
for Todd's spot?

That office is in Indianapolis.

He went to grab coffee.

Ok. Thanks, Kel.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Well, that was unexpected.

Yeah.

Would you leave Idaho?

I don't know.

I mean, it's an incredible
opportunity,

and my family is scattered
all over the country, anyways.

The only real tie I have here
is you.

So what would happen between us
if I got the job?

Well...

We've been apart more than
we've been together.

Does that mean we're good
at long distance

or that it's just easier?

I don't know.

We've never really asked
that question, you know?

What if I'm asking it now?

Hang on.

New Year, New You meeting
in ten minutes.

Right.

Look, all I know is that
I actually really love

spending this time together,

which is the only way for us
to find out, right?

Right.

Do you wanna maybe have dinner
at my house tonight?

I'll cook?

Yeah.

- Ok.
- Ok.

Ok. Ok.

Well, if you hear of anything
or anything opens up...

Thanks. Merry Christmas.

Everything ok?

Yeah. Yeah.

Alright, guys.
Your old man is a pro at this.

Watch and learn.

Please, take a couple of these.

Ok.

Now, it's really like you're
tossing a little Frisbee.

That's it. You just need to get
a little closer.

Alright.

Alright, hot cider, my treat.
And then we pick a tree.

Come on, guys.

Pick a good one!

...not as many branches.

Ok. Ok, I think we found it.

It's not tiny.
It's pretty tall.

Morning calls didn't
pan out, huh?

Boise Adventures was interested

until they found out about
my winter weather experience.

What? You skied
when you were a kid.

A teenage hobby is
not work experience.

Talked to Donnie at World Wide

but he won't need anybody with
my skill set until the summer.

You remember Ned
from the Boy Scouts?

Oh yeah, he runs the um...

the high school tours outdoors,
doesn't he?

He's all filled up.

I'm running out
of contacts fast.

Something's gonna turn up,
I just know it.

Decca Print Shop's hiring.

Where your dad worked?

I could reach out to one
of his co-workers,

maybe get an interview.

Is that really what you
wanna do?

Maybe if I land something now
the boys will know

that it's all gonna be ok.

Maybe it doesn't have to be
a perfect job,

just a job.

Look at this.

Dad?

I think we found it.

Hey guys.
Hey boys, let's go.

- Excuse me.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

I'm sorry.

Hey.

Margie! Oh, my goodness,
look at you!

You're still as beautiful
as ever.

And very successful, I hear.

Isn't this crazy?

I just came to get some
vegetables and I ran...

Now you must be John and PJ.

You know, your dad and I have
known each other

since we were about...

One year older than John is now.

Is that right?

Well, let me tell you,
you are a lot handsomer

than your dad was back then.

Hey!

And a lot nicer, too, I bet.

Now, wait a minute.

No, Lois, you raised
an incredible son,

but the day that I met Pat

he nearly ploughed into me
at the school dance.

That's because you and Carmen
slid to the left

when you were supposed to...

Slide to the right.

Here we go.

Right foot, stomp, stomp.

Take it back now.

You finally did it right.

Well, I've been practising.

Now, if you are buying
a tree today

that means you made cookies
last night?

Your grandma's sugar cookies
and gingerbread.

Yeah. You remember.

I do.

We eat them while we decorate.

Do you wanna decorate with us?

You know, tonight
I'm actually...

It's tomorrow.

Dad even says there's
enough snow

to make a snowman like Sonny,
too.

Do you make snowmen?

You know, I haven't
in a really long time.

We don't have our
special ornaments

but Dad said by tomorrow.

What happened to your ornaments?

They're stuck at
the shipping company.

I called but because
of the holidays

it's tough to get through.

Yeah.

Dad can teach you
how to make snowmen.

He said he's an expert.

Tomorrow, huh?

Any time after work at my house,
of course.

Ok.

Let's do it.

And what was the name
of the shipping company?

It's called Ship Shore.

Ok.

Eddie, I know you can
make this happen.

Can I call you back in an hour?

Two?

Ok, thank you.
You're the best.

Hey, could you do me
a huge favour

and pick me up one
of those Christmas baskets

and some mulled wine for me
to bring to Eddie?

Eddie in the mail room?

Yes.

On it. Thank you.

And you've got...

Willa and the 9:00
in two minutes.

I'm just dropping my coat
and I will be right there.

So, Scott's doing well?

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised
if he's absorbed

the whole department
in the next two days.

Yes, well, he's a keeper.

And everything on
the not work front?

It's an adjustment.

A good adjustment?

Scott's such a great guy.

Yes, he is.

But that's not what I asked.

Is this kinda like the time
with Mark?

Or maybe Ben?

Or maybe it's more like Alex.

Wait...

Do you think maybe
there's a pattern there?

I have a pattern?

Well, it seems like you never
let anyone get too close.

At least that's what
it seems like.

You don't see it?

Not until you just mentioned it.

Well, you'll get there.

You have a lot of love to give,

you just haven't found the one,
and I have faith.

Ready?

I'm so stuffed.

I kinda wish there was a way

we could pack up the leftovers
for the food bank.

Well, I bought jams and honey
and every item

that I could find to donate
to the Oak Street store.

I think it's so awesome
that C & C

has a company-wide charity.

Yeah, me too.

It really helps tell
the company's story,

which our customers love, too.

Is that your favourite part
about the company?

The story?

Is that why you've been there
for so long?

I think I told you
that I grew up

with a lot of advantages.

A beautiful home,
a great education,

but my parents were...

Distant.

It just really wasn't a very
warm environment, you know.

Right.

I thought that's how
everybody had it

until I started working
at the store.

With Willa as your manager.

Yes, and she was
crazy supportive

and just took me under her wing...

And work became more than a job.

Yeah, it became a home.

After I graduated, my parents
moved to Arizona

and I became part of
Connor & Co.'s story.

Seventeen years later
I'm still there.

And you could never leave Boise.

Or the company.

Well, I could leave Boise...

Dessert?

Sure.

Margie Southworth.

Yes! Eddie, thank you!

You're amazing.

Ok, tell me where to go.

Ok, great.

Thank you.

Margie!

Can I help you with those?

I'm ok.

Come on in.

You didn't really have
to bring all that.

I wanted to.

Lois, your beautiful home.

Thank you.

You can just put those there.

Ok.

These are a little heavy.

So, snowmen first and then
we trim the tree.

- Ok.
- Come on.

Roll!

Come on, you can do it!

This is a lot harder
than I remember.

Can I be on head duty?

It just seems a lot easier.

Come on, I'm on the head.

Sorry.

Ok, John, you gotta
flatten the top

so the next one
doesn't roll off.

How come you keep telling
everybody what to do

and not doing anything yourself?

Wha?

Yeah, Pat. How come?

Wha-no!

No, wait!

No. We're doing this!

Gotcha, Dad.

We are not... I am not doing this.
We are making snowmen.

Are you gonna fight back or
are you just gonna stand there?

Hey, family!
Anybody for cookies?

Ok, what do you think?

Genius.

That's so cool!

You may now eat your cookies.

Ok, let's celebrate!
Inside because I'm so cold.

Ok, so before we decorate
the tree

can I get you two to help me
with something?

John, why don't
you take this one,

and PJ you take that one.

Now, they might be the two
missing boxes from Hawaii.

Margie.

Well, I work in national retail.

We have a few shipping contacts
so I did a little tracking down.

These are our baby ornaments.

Hey, your tree topper.

My mom made that when she was
a little girl.

I was really afraid
I'd never see it again.

Thank you.

Now it feels like Christmas.

Thank you, Margie.

That looks great.

Remind you of old times?

- Margie, try this one.
- Yeah.

Looks great, Dad.

Hey PJ. PJ go
grab that...

There, that's perfect.

Where should I put this one?

My present ornament.
You kept it.

Yeah, I kept all the ornaments
that matched your charms.

You can't throw away fate.

This looks great.

I love this ornament.

There we go.

Just like home.

That looks beautiful.

It sure is.

It's great.

These were always my favourite.

My mom taught me
how to make them.

And you taught me.

I can't tell you how much
it means to us

that you were able to get a hold
of our family treasures.

It was my pleasure.

You know, I don't think
I realized just how many

of your traditions
I carried forward.

Like what?

Like I do wrapping paper doors,
I put candles everywhere...

And I buy myself new
Christmas PJ's every year.

You know, I-I just really never
realized what the holidays

could be like until I met Pat
and he brought me to you.

Well, you're welcome here
any time, honey.

Thanks.

Yeah, yeah.
You too. Thanks.

That was dad's friend, Mike.

They might have an opening.

He says hi.

Well, say hi back.

Job options.

At Decca?

I'm just exploring.

No, but you're adventure boy.

Oceans, mountains, showing
people amazing terrain

for the first time
or the 50th time.

Sorry.

Boys, mom's calling.

Mom?

Yeah.

Hi mom! We made a snowman
and a snow-woman!

We'll show you.
PJ, come on.

I should get going.

Margie...

It's late and... yeah.

Ok.

You should just have this time

with your mom and your boys.

I don't wanna intrude.

It's not...

You have this whole life

and I don't even know
what we're doing here.

We're just catching up.

Are we?

Look, you have
two young kids and an ex

and you just got here.

You have a wonderful job
and a guy that you're seeing

and I am not trying to come
in between anything.

No, neither am I.

It's just...

What?

Doesn't this seem like...

What?

It's just... the snowmen building
and the tree decorating

and acting like
no time has passed.

You know, this isn't...
like, we're not...

Wait, wait, wait.

Are you saying that we can't
even see each other?

We're bound to bump
into each other.

We always do.

Yeah.

I hope it goes really well
for you here.

And I wish you a really
merry Christmas.

Scott and I will just spend
more time together, and...

Margie.

Maybe he's not taking the job
in Indiana.

Maybe I should just give us
a better chance.

Is that what you want?

Hey, what are you really
struggling with?

What if I had followed Pat
to Hawaii all those years ago?

What if I never went to Hawaii?

I could have survived here,
taken a job with dad.

I would have had more time
with him and you.

Think of all the things
you wouldn't have had.

I just wish...

You know, it's time
to buckle down.

Focus on why I came here.

You know, taking responsibility
for the kids

doesn't mean you have to give up
on what you want for yourself.

I have a meeting
with Mike Willis

at the Decca Print Shop
tomorrow afternoon.

If he has a job for me it's
the right thing for the kids.

I hate hearing you talk
like this.

Will you at least
call Patrick Shepperd?

He's been in your field,
maybe he has a job lead for you.

Mom, I'm gonna do
the right thing.

Thanks for staying up, mom.

Hey, kid. It's four days
'til Santa delivers.

What're you doing out of bed?

You ok?

Are you sad you went to Hawaii?

No. No.

Without Hawaii I wouldn't
have had you or your brother,

and everything in my life
is better

because the two of you
are in it.

Come here.

I promise you everything
is gonna be ok, PJ.

Do you trust me?

Alright, go to bed.

When will that agreement
be signed?

If we're uprooting our senior
people at Christmas time

then we need to let them know.

Yes, you told me last week
that you'd have

all the paperwork finished
by now.

It's not fair to make
people wait.

Hey.

Hey.

I just found something out.

Todd Cray isn't leaving his job
in Indianapolis.

That rumour that we heard,
it's not true.

Well, then who's position
are you being groomed for?

Nobody else in marketing is
leaving from what I can tell.

Wait, you don't think

they're having me train you
to take my job?

Well, Scott, that's gotta
be the reason.

What else could it be?

There's gotta be a better
explanation.

You said yourself they're
rounding out my education.

Have they told you what other
departments you're assigned to?

They haven't said anything.

But, you know, something else
could be coming up.

Hey, I didn't mean to...

You didn't do anything,
but I gotta go.

Thank you for the heads up.

Margie...

Great.

Pat?

- I'm Pat.
- I'm Pat.

Patrick.

That is confusing.

I usually use my last name
since I run into this

but they spell Shepperd
in so many ways...

Hold on, did you say your name
is Patrick Shepperd?

Am I in trouble?

No, no. I'm Pat Godfrey.

Our mother's...

Are you kidding?

We haven't seen each other...

Since we were nine, ten?

When I broke my wrist.

I was just gonna call you.

I heard that you work
for Seattle parks district.

Yeah.

I've been running tours and
outdoor adventures in Hawaii

for the past 17 years.

You're kidding.

My job is coordinating

with the private tour companies
and charters.

Do you have a minute to talk?

Yeah.

Alright.

Alright. Cool, man.

Hey.

You out already?

Yeah.

I'm gonna go down to
the Oak Street store

and help Carmen break down
the food bank.

Margie...

Listen. You know that call
from Boise Home Outletters?

If working for one company your
whole career isn't your path

please take the interview, ok?

Don't worry about me.

And there was Patrick.

I know, I couldn't believe it,
either.

He knows so many people.

One of them might have
a perfect job for me.

In Seattle.

That's the thing.

I just got here.

I uprooted the boys to Boise,

and even if there is a perfect
job out of this

can I relocate them again?

And away from you?

Do you remember what I used to
call impossible coincidences

that seem to be an answer
to a wish,

or something held in your heart?

That's Godwink.

Yeah.

So you're saying that me seeing
Patrick in the coffee shop

is a Godwink?

Both of you at the same time
ordering coffee in the same shop

in the middle of Boise
where he's visiting

and you've just moved back
after 17 years.

Well, I guess if you put
it that way.

I mean it.

I believe in these events.

You know, bumping into Margie
again and again and again.

Hang on.

No, you always seem to wind up
in the same place

at the same time,
even back then.

And now?

After being apart for 17 years
and 3,000 miles?

Pat.

People who are meant
to be together

are put in each other's paths
as if they're drawn together.

Maybe that's what's
happening now.

I know.

It sure feels like there's
forces pushing us together

but it also feels like there's a
lot of forces pulling us apart.

Do you know why I left Seattle
for Boise?

Because you fell in love
with Dad.

Well, yeah.
But not entirely.

I love Seattle.

The outdoors and my family,
of course.

But it was my past and
your father was my future.

Remember, he always used to say
life is a big adventure?

Well, it was.

For a long, blessed time.

Do you remember what we told
you when you moved to Hawaii?

Go where your heart leads you.

Dad.

Dad.

Mom called.

She's finished work one day
early and she's coming.

We don't have any presents
for her or Grandma.

Tell your brother
to get his coat.

Margie?

Pat, what're you doing here?

We're shopping for Mom
and Grandma.

Pat Godfrey?

Carmen?

Carmen manages this store.

We've actually been
working together

since she graduated college.

John, PJ, this is Carmen,
one of my old friends.

How many old friends
do you have?

By the looks of it, a lot.

I'm not that old.

- It's great seeing you, Pat.
- You too.

And nice to meet you boys.

Happy holidays.

So, who's up for a VIP
shopping trip?

I am.

Yes.

How about this one?

Do you think your grandma
would like it?

I think she'll love it.

It smells really good in here.

I'll just sneak those
into a side bag for you.

How much?

The boys do chores and volunteer
as part of their allowance,

and they do work around
the neighbourhood

for spending money, so...

Thank you.

So, more shopping or home
to hide the presents?

Actually, I promised a couple
young men snowballs.

More snowball fighting?

Not that kind of snowball.

Wanna come?

Yeah.

I don't remember the last time
I had one of these.

Or six of these.

These are delicious!

I know, right?

Can we play that?

Yeah.

Yes!

Nice shot!

Come on, PJ.

PJ!

Hey, I need to go grab something
real quick.

Would you mind watching
the boys for a couple seconds?

Yeah, sure.

They're gonna keep beating
the pants off...

That was so good!

You got one.

The first one because
I'm taking after you guys now.

Ok, here.
PJ, you take this one.

Hey.

That's so good.

Can I have that?

Alright John,
let's do this shot.

Alright.

- Dad.
- Yes?

We beat Margie
two times already.

These kids could teach
a master class.

Hey, could you take over for me?

Yeah, yeah.

Alright, I'm gonna need to see
some power moves here

'cause you guys are champions!

Two to win it.

That's one!

Could you bag that up for me?

Yes!

Margie's fun.

Tonight was a good
adventure, Dad.

Yeah, it was.

Yeah! Yeah!!!

- Bye! Thanks again!
- Bye Margie.

Goodnight, bye.

I'm not going anywhere.

Hey, Pat.

Case.

Mom!

Hey, hon.

Oh hey, sleepy boy.

You said you were coming
in the morning.

Yeah, I wound up driving
straight through

and when I called Grandma
to tell her how close I was

she said to come now.

How about we take
you upstairs to bed?

Is that ok?

Yes.

Great.

There.

I brought new ornaments
that we can hang tomorrow

and a few things to tuck
under the tree.

We saved you some of
Grandma's cookies.

You guys are my heroes.

Ok, have a good night.

I love you guys.

Love you too, Mom.

Love you too, Mom.

Fifteen minutes, guys.
Lights out.

Love you.

Margie Southworth, huh?

Crazy, right?

Not at all. Tape.

I remember being jealous of her
when we first met.

Is that true?

Maybe we all have that one love
we never get over.

Well, we did a pretty good job,
right?

We worked hard to get here.

And the boys are doing alright,

spending summers with me and
the rest of the year with you.

You've done really great
with them, you know.

They're great kids.

I got great gifts.

I can't wait to see them.

So fair warning I have spoiled
the boys with presents.

Well, if there ever was a year
to spoil them it's this one.

It's been a big one for them.

So listen, I wanna
tell you something.

I met someone and I'd like
to introduce him

to the boys if that's ok
with you.

You're more than welcome to meet
him first if you'd prefer.

He's a good guy?

He really is.

We'll go slow and
only take it serious

if the boys are ok with him,
but I think...

I think he's the one.

I'm happy for you, Case.

You should talk to Margie.

If I got a second chance at love
you deserve one, too.

Thank you.

Have a good night.

You too.

Margie.

Margie?

Hi.

I'm just here to drop off
the kids' presents,

and then I realized
how early it was

so I was gonna see if the key
for the garage

was in this hiding place

and now that I said that
out loud that's really weird.

Take a ride with me.

The boys will stay asleep
and Mom's got them if not.

It's still too early
to go to a job.

Pat.

We need to talk.

Us winding up face to face
again and again,

and your charms
following me everywhere.

There's gotta be a reason
why this is happening.

You don't happen to have
hiking boots

in your car, do you?

For adventure?

I actually always have a pair
of hiking boots in my car now.

Well, I'll get mine.

Ok.

It seems like forever ago
we were up here.

We were so young.

Practically different people.

Nice touch.

Do you ever wonder
what would have happened

- if I had stayed?
- If I went to Hawaii?

What do you think?

I don't know.

I keep asking myself
all these questions.

Yeah, me too.

Any answers?

Nope.

Pat, the way I grew up,

it just-it wasn't until I met
you and your family

that I knew what
it was like to...

to be really loved.

Then our lives took
different paths.

I just had to think that
it wasn't my destiny.

That you weren't my destiny.

I just never expected you back.

Sorry, I...

You're still with someone.
I'm sorry.

No, I...

I never expected to be
back here.

I guess this is just our thing,
huh?

You and me?

Wrong place, wrong time.

Let's head back down.

Thanks so much for meeting me.

Yeah. Of course.

Thanks.

I know it's been weird.

No, it's me.

I've been AWOL-ing...

Before you start I wanna
tell you something...

Me too. Scott, I...

I'm looking for another job.

I didn't know why corporate
brought me here,

but I would never try
to undermine you

or try to take your job.

Of course not.

Scott, I...

I know what this place
means to you.

I don't wanna disrupt that.

No, you never... Scott...

Wait, isn't that why
you called me?

Margie.

Scott, it's been so, so
wonderful having you in town,

and getting the chance to spend
more time together

has been really...

This is about us.

Yeah.

That's the conversation
you wanted to have, isn't it?

I just thought having you close
would bring us closer.

Yeah, me too.

And it's not because
of anything... you're not.

Margie.

Neither of us have ever pushed

the whole time
we've been together.

Maybe that was because
of distance

but maybe it was just easier.

We're both old enough to know
that if we got this chance

and it didn't change things,
then we deserve something more.

Someone who's meant to be.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But Scott, please don't leave
the company on my account.

That's the last thing I want.

I know, but if it means you get
to keep doing what you love

then I don't wanna stand
in the way of that.

Ok, well listen, I have
a meeting with Willa later

and I'm sure I'll have
more information.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Hey Kelly, do you know...

Yeah, well my right wrist
healed that fall

and I started at spring baseball

and then I broke the other one.

And you still went
into outdoor work?

Yeah, the physical therapist
got me climbing

and I built my strength
and I never looked back.

The two of you, honestly.

But it does sound like
a great career path.

Yeah, I love working
for the park district.

Well, I really should get going.

Yeah, yeah, of course.

It was great seeing you again.

Thanks for having me.

My mom is going to be
so jealous.

Well I've been talking about
visiting Seattle for a while.

I'll call her, I promise.

You know, I think my mom misses
Seattle more than she lets on.

Especially right now.

Well, it was really good of you
to come by.

Yeah, well a nice visit isn't
the only reason why I came.

I reached out to my contacts and
one does have a job to offer.

If you're actually interested
in moving to Seattle.

And we could have each store

partner with a different
local charity.

We could do it for New Year's.

Our New Year, New You campaign.

It's what this company's
always been about.

Yes, something that
you've understood

since the day you started.

These are fantastic ideas,
Margie.

Thanks.

I know things have been
kind of confusing lately.

Yeah.

Willa, I will do
whatever it takes

to show you that I belong here.

Well, we want that, too.

I promise you things are going
to work out.

You just have to trust me
a little while longer.

Of course.

I got nothing out of Willa.

She promised everything
was gonna be ok.

Well, we've been friends
for so long,

of course she's gonna say that.

Or her hands are tied and
you're being melodramatic.

Look, it's three days
'til Christmas.

Let's treat ourselves.

I know exactly where
we should go.

Ok. I'll pick you up
after work.

Ok, bye.

It's bananas to say
that we're moving here

and then to say that we're
moving somewhere else,

but it's not like we're
settled in yet.

It's still a vacation.

It sounds like a great job
to me, Dad.

It is.

Then we'll be closer to Mom
and Grandma will have

more good reasons to visit
the place where she was born,

but the most important thing is
that you guys are ok with it.

We go as a team or we don't go.

So I want you to be
totally honest with me.

I'm ok with it.

You said we'd like Boise
and we do.

If you think we'll like Seattle,
we will.

Wherever you are is our home.

And when Grandma comes to visit

it means she can show us
the places she liked as a kid.

I'll get Grandma
and let's celebrate.

I know just the place.
Grab your coats.

When are you telling Pat?

Carm.

When?

You climbed a hill,
you held hands,

you broke up with your guy.

The only thing left is just to...

I didn't break up with Scott
to be with Pat.

No, you broke up with Scott
because seeing Pat

reminded you of what a real
relationship should be.

Margie.

Did you plan this?

What? No.

I had no idea.

Thanks, Dad!

We'll see you in there!

Did you plan this?

Scouts honour, I had no idea.

But you can't deny this anymore,
Pat.

It's a Godwink.

Margie, look at me.

How much more proof do you need

that there is a bigger plan
for the two of you?

Carmen didn't even know
we were here last night?

The boys had such a good time
last night.

Carmen!

Oh, my goodness.
It's so great to see you.

This is crazy.

Pat just got a job offer so we
decided to go and celebrate.

You did? That's fantastic!

Yeah, it's...
it's in Seattle.

I got a job offer in Seattle
and I took it.

So the boys and I are gonna
move out there

after the first of the year.

Well, it sounds like a
wonderful opportunity.

It is. It is.

For the boys, for their mom,
for the kind of work I wanna do.

Yeah.

I'm really happy for you.

Margie, what we had meant
the world to me.

But I know it's in the past.

Do you remember your mom
used to talk about Godwinks?

She was talking about it
the other day.

And today.

Maybe a job in Seattle
closer to your ex...

being where your mom grew up...
maybe that's the Godwink.

Wait, wait.

It was in front
of my mom's house.

I've been finding
you everywhere.

I... I hope you build a really
beautiful life for yourself

and your boys in Seattle.

Merry Christmas.

Where are we gonna live
in Seattle?

I don't know.

But I guess I'll learn what
neighbourhood my job is in

and we'll figure it out
after that.

Grandma should help.

She knows all the best places
to go.

I don't know about that.

I mean, it's been a while,
but I'll try.

Yeah, Grandma should come
with us.

To help us find a house?

No, to live.

I don't wanna leave her.

Or her earmuffs,
or her pancakes.

I don't wanna leave her, either.

I don't wanna leave her, either.

Would you consider moving
to Seattle?

You wouldn't have to live

in the same house as us,
of course.

We know we're loud.

But Mom, having you in Seattle
and making up for lost time,

you'd be where you have history
and friends and...

and we could look out
for each other and...

Yes. Yes, it's a brilliant idea.

I had a brilliant idea!

Yes, you did!

Yeah!

Woo!

Yeah!

You wanted to see both of us?

Yes.

I know I have been quiet
about a few things

and I wanted to apologize
for that.

But I have some news.

Margie, we did bring in Scott
to train for your job.

We are promoting him to VP
of Marketing and Promotions

for the northwest region.

And Margie, there is
a reason for that.

Because we are offering you
Senior VP

of Marketing and Promotions
for the entire company.

You are already at the top of
the list and that last meeting

that we had where you brought
forth all those amazing ideas?

That only confirmed everything.

You are both getting promotions.

Now, we couldn't talk
about this earlier

because we were
too busy negotiating

this current SVP's exit package.

I know it was awful being
in the dark.

I'm sorry, but I hope
this makes up for it, yes?

Yeah. Yeah.

Ok, good.

Ok. Wait, wait.

Isn't SVP of Promotions
and Marketing

for the whole company...

isn't that job at headquarters?

Yes. It is.

Now, we can move you up there
or we can have you work remotely

from here and you can go
a few times, Margie...

I need to go take
my lunch break right away.

But-but you are accepting
the offer?

Yes. 100 percent, yes.

I just-I have to go tell
someone something right now.

Willa, thank you so much.

And Scott, congratulations.
This is amazing.

Did you go on a job
interview yesterday?

Boise Home Outletters.
Yes or no?

You told me to.

Well, I am un-telling you to.

Because if anyone but me asks
you to come work for them

you say "I can't.
I'm being promoted."

Excuse me?

I just got promoted to Head
of Marketing and Promotions

for all of Connor & Company.

Margie!

Which means that you
just got promoted, too.

What?

Listen, you can stay in Boise
and work from here

or you can move to headquarters,

but either way it's more
responsibility.

- It's a big raise.
- That's amazing!

But Kelly, all of it is
up to you.

And listen, I was wrong.

If you get to work for
one company that you love

your whole career, it's a gift.

But all of it is up to you.

A new year and a new you.
And me.

Ok.

Margie?

I got something huge
to tell you.

Ok. It's... let me
just grab my coat.

Ok.

I have really exciting news.

I just got a huge promotion.

That's great.

No, that's not
the exciting part.

I'm really happy for you.

The promotion is at
corporate headquarters.

Ok.

In Seattle.

Say that again.

Pat, my company is moving me
to Seattle.

You're taking the job, right?

Of course I'm taking the job.

And I broke it off with Scott.

But not because...

Well, no, but... yeah.

I mean, Pat, if a Godwink
lands in your lap

over and over and over again
and you don't follow it...

I mean, that's what this is,
right?

We're supposed to be together.

I just don't see how we could
spend one more day apart.

Do you know what this will be?

The greatest adventure
in the world.

Yeah.

Thank you.

What could it be?

It smells like your cookies.

Ooh, delicious.

And yours is a candle that
smells like Christmas trees.

It's my favourite.

Hey, do you guys wanna take
the new sled in the snow?

I'm going to get my camera.

I'll take the back, PJ.

Yeah.

Ok guys...

This is heavy.

...good to have a new sled.

- Okay, mom.
- Okay, mom.

I got you something
at the Christmas market

the other night.

What?

I got you something
that night, too.

Do you think we did it?

Let's open them together
and see.

Ok.

- One, two, three.
- One, two, three.

- A snowman.
- A snowman.

For all the fun we're gonna
keep having.

And all the adventure.

Today the real life Margie
and Pat Godfrey

still live in the Seattle area.

Their kids and grandchildren
spread across America

visit as often as possible.

A family united, the Godfreys
are grateful for the amazing

Godwinks that mysteriously
directed their paths

and lifted their hopes.
