I love sharing

all the different
holiday traditions

that I've experienced.

You know,
my editor thinks

that I should write
them all down

and publish them
in a book.

That's a good idea.

You always have the most
interesting stories.

Perk of being
a travel writer.

That and global entry getting me
past the airport lines.

You know, you should look
into getting that.

Yeah...

William...

The, uh... the almond,
and your expression.

We've only been
dating six months.

Listen, my parents called
yesterday,

and they want me in Boston
for Christmas,

and I want to be with them.

It's Christmas, em,

and being with my family

is an important tradition
for me,

and I would love
to have you there.

You know I'm more transient
than traditional.

Yeah, I know.

I mean, people probably
always tell you

that one day
you'll settle down,

but...

I don't know
that you will...

At least,
not with a regular guy like me.

So...

We broke up...

Which doesn't seem
to surprise you.

You can't fake
chemistry,

especially when one half
of the couple

is rarely in town.

That's because someone
whom I'm pointing at right now

keeps sending me out
on assignments.

Would you like me to stop?

No.
You know I love it.

I do know that,

though I don't know
how you do it.

Experience.

I grew up
living out of my suitcase.

I guess I'm used to it.

And as your editor,
I love that about you.

As your friend...

Say it.

I want you to get that almond.

That would require me

to stay
in one place

for an extended
period of time.

One day, you're going
to find someone

who'll make you want
to do exactly that.

I did.

Speaking of,

you're welcome to join
Keith and me for Christmas.

The kids'd be
over the moon

to have auntie
Emory there.

Aw, I love them,

but I was thinking
about renting a cabin

up to the mountains

and relaxing

before someone sends me
my next assignment.

You're going
to be alone?

On Christmas?

It's not the first time.

I'll be okay.

www.fmsubs.com

You can't get that
tie off fast enough.

Reminds me
I spent all day in court.

Oh, please.

You spend 90% of
your time in jeans.

One of the perks

of leaving the corporate
counsel world behind.

Oh, maybe I should
give it a try.

So you stay at
a hotel for Christmas?

Uh-huh.

My Nana comes over,
we open up presents,

and then we go to a hotel
for brunch.

What do you
and your mom do?

We go to pine grove.

It's my favorite
place for Christmas,

like, ever.

- Have you ever gone?
- No.

You've got to.

There's sledding,
ice skating,

and we get to chop
down our own tree.

Really?

Yeah, it's so much fun!

Katy!

Dad!

Hi, sweetheart.

Do you have
to go back to work?

Nope,
I'm done for the holidays,

and I figured we could do
some Christmas shopping today.

What are you guys doing
for Christmas?

We'll probably just go
to brunch with my mom.

That sounds fun.

Yeah, it's fun.
Right?

Some year,

you guys should try
and get out

to the mountains.

It really brings out
that Christmas spirit.

Yeah, maybe someday.

All right,
put your hood on.

Let's make a run for it.
You ready?

Set... go!
Come on!

So...

About your trip to the
cabin in the mountains.

How much relaxation
do you actually need?

Are you about
to give me an assignment

right before
my vacation?

Here's the deal.

Phil Laskert was supposed
to give me an article

to publish online
for Christmas day,

but he apparently is stuck
on an ice floe

in the antarctic.

Again?

So I'm in bit of a pickle.

Hey, did I ever tell you

about the German tradition
of the Christmas pickle?

And that's why you're going
to write me a 2,000-word article

on an old-fashioned
American Christmas.

An old-fashioned
American Christmas?

That's both broad and vague.

Think of it as an opportunity
to sit back and reflect

on all the Christmas
traditions

you missed growing up,

and I'm going to need it
on the 23rd.

As an incentive,

and because
I'm also awesome,

I booked you a cabin
in pine grove.

My treat.

This is bribery.

Yes. Yes, it is.

I know that look.
What's up?

I was just thinking

that maybe we could do
something different

this Christmas.

Like, different how?

Like...

Not a hotel for brunch.

Hey, hey, hey.

What's going on?

We had an assignment
in class today.

We could write about anything.

I started thinking
about Christmas.

Oh, yeah?

No, I mean, like...

The ones we used
to have with mom.

We'd go up into
the mountains

and have snow,

and everything smelled
like Christmas trees.

You remember that?

It's fuzzy, but yeah.

"Make cookies.
Build a snowman."

"Gingerbread house."

That was your mom's favorite.

I suppose
you have some place in mind?

Pine grove?

Apparently,
her best friend from school

has been talking about it
non-stop.

She even made
this "bucket list"

of things to do
to make it the best Christmas,

and most of them
involve snow.

Oh, Scott, this is so adorable.

I don't think we actually spent
a Christmas

in a cabin in the woods.

Or we just stay here,
you know?

I mean, the important thing
is that we're together.

Yeah, but that's not
what Katy asked for,

and she asks
for so little.

Tell you what.

Why don't I get this
as a Christmas present

for you and Katy?

Mom...

No, I insist.

I'm going to find the most
charming cabin in pine grove

for both of you
to stay in.

What about you?

Well, I've got
Bree tenner's birthday

in a few days,

and I promised I'd attend.

Okay, fine, so you attend,
and then you join us.

I mean, you never go anywhere.

Oh, that is not true.

I went to your aunt
Ruthie's July 4th.

That was three years ago,
and that was in Oakland.

I mean, I basically can see
Oakland from here.

You barely leave
the bay area.

That's because I'm a homebody,
and you know it.

I'm not letting you be alone for
Christmas.

If you don't go,
we don't go.

Scott...

Mom...

Please, Nana?

Now, how am I supposed
to resist that?

You're not.

Oh...

Of course
I'll go.

Hi, dad!

Hey there, pumpkin!

How's Hong Kong?

Well, we just got here
a little while ago.

Not too late for you
to join us.

You'll be in meetings
the entire time,

and mom'll be on the phone
dealing with her charities.

Boy, it's as if
you've met us before.

Once or twice.

Mom says hi.

Hi, mom!

No, I'll wait 'til we can take
a real vacation together,

maybe in the spring.

All right, done.
We'll look forward to that.

So, what are you doing
for Christmas, huh?

Are you going to be jetting off
to some far corner of the globe?

Actually, I've rented
a cabin up in pine grove.

Pine grove?

Haven't been there
since you were little.

I've been to pine grove?

You have.

We went there together
for Christmas one year.

You were maybe four or five,
I think?

I don't know.

It was before
I started the company.

I don't remember that.

I do.

Might've been the last
old-fashioned Christmas

we had together.

We had
an old-fashioned Christmas?

We did.

Once upon a time.

It's like I stepped
into another world

made entirely of Christmas.

Did I mention the guy
that I rented the cabin from

also runs the candy store?

Uh, you didn't,

but somehow,
it makes perfect sense.

Maybe it'll be good
for your writing.

Have you figured out your angle
on the article yet?

Uh... nope.

Well, don't over-think it.

Just experience it.
It'll come.

Well, that's just it.

I haven't experienced it...

I mean, not the way
that people think of here.

Italy, Brazil, Tibet?

Sure...

But snowmen and Santa?

I got nothing.

I know,

but at least it sounds
like you're in the right spot

to give it a try,

and who knows?

You may even be inspired

to finish that book idea
we discussed.

Maybe.

That would require me
to stay in one place

for an extended period of time.

It's been known to happen.

To others.

Okay, I've got to go find

this cabin-rental
slash-candy-man.

Ciao!

Excuse me,

do you know where
I can find Hal Hindry?

That would be me.

Oh, great, um...

So I'm Emory Blake,
and I'm...

Hey, Hal?

What do you want me
to do with the posters

for the gingerbread
house contest?

Oh, good!
Hang one in the front window.

Sorry about that.
What was your name again?

Emory...

Excuse me.

Skip!

Can you help Mrs. chase?

It's a crazy time of the year.

I'm just here
to pick up some keys

for a cabin
rented under Emory Blake?

Ah, my other job.

This way.

Ah...

Looks like
you're in cedar bluff.

That's a
wonderful cabin.

Is the other half of your party
with you?

Uh, no.

It's just me.

Is it?

What should I do
with the rest of these?

Hang one in every store window
out by the rec center, then.

- Okay, you got it.
- Sorry.

It's our gingerbread
house contest,

pine grove's version
of the super bowl.

This has everything
you'll need,

and a map to the cabin.

Now, there's
a big snow storm

headed our way soon,

so I hope
you have snow tires.

It's going
to be a doozy.

Right...

There you go.

Thank you.

Wow, this is awesome!
Can I go outside?

Sure.

Just stay close, okay?

I love you,
sweetheart.

All right...

That is not safe.

My knee!
What the...?

You have ten seconds
to get out of here.

What just happened?

Seriously,

I know krav maga,
and I am not afraid to use it!

There's a sledding hill
out there!

Whoa...

It's okay, honey.
It's... it's okay.

You broke in with a kid?

We didn't break in.
We used a key.

We're renting this place.

This is my place!

I swear, the only thing
I'm reaching for in my coat

is my phone, okay?

I'm going to show you
our booking reservation.

Slowly.

Just a phone.

Booking confirmation.
Hal...

Hindry.

Cabin rentals and candy man.
Yeah.

Pretty sure there's only one.

My confirmation
is right there.

Great...

So...

So...

So we're all going
to stay here?

No.

Oh, dear.

I am truly, truly sorry.

I don't know how...

Skip, put the licorice
on the top shelf...

This happened.

It's a mystery.

The important thing here

is that we have
a place for Ms. Blake to stay.

Oh, um, you're just
going to assume

that I'm the one

that's going to
give up the cabin?

I have a kid.

Seriously?

You don't even hesitate
to play the kid card?

My mom comes in tomorrow.

Yeah, well...

Your confirmation says

that you booked
just two days ago,

which means I booked first.

There are three
bedrooms in this house,

which is too big
for one person.

I rest my case.

Are you an attorney?

I am.

That makes me want
to stay put even more.

What do you do?

Travel writer.

Perfect.

I'm sure you're accustomed
to accommodation inconveniences.

Yep, so I can tell you
from experience,

that you're going
to have no trouble

finding someplace else.

I'm terribly sorry,
but there are no other cabins.

None?

Pine grove is booked solid
at Christmas

months in advance.

The only reason cedar bluff
was available

was because
of a last-minute cancellation.

Okay.

What about
someplace else?

I called around as soon
as you told me what happened.

There's nothing.

I'm so terribly sorry.

Where do I put
the white chocolate pretzels?

Up front.

Right over here, skip.

Oh...

So there are no rooms
at any inn.

Strangely appropriate.

Mm.

This would be perfect
for sledding.

C'mon...

Ugh, fine.
Kid card wins.

I'll head back
to San Francisco

with my Christmas cabin
experiment

officially over.

But it's snowing
really hard.

You didn't want to drive when
it was snowing bad, remember?

Katy, don't worry.

I've motorcycled
through the Andes.

I can handle this.

Yeah, see?

She'll be fine.

Thanks for this.

All right, hays family,

merry Christmas,

and, uh...

Enjoy my cabin.

Our cabin.

Ha...

Hey, thanks again.
We appreciate it.

Whew!

Oh, no...

Please don't be like this.

Dad?

Start, start, start...

Ugh...

Oh...

How's it going?

Oh, she just gets
a little, uh, sensitive

when it's cold.

Well, it's only going
to get colder.

Fair point.

Why don't you come back
and stay at the cabin

until the storm passes?

Just for tonight.

Just for tonight.

I will be out of here

just as soon as
the shop gives me the okay.

It's the alternator.

How can you tell?

You can hear it.

You're both a lawyer
and a mechanic?

No, my dad and I used
to tinker around with cars

when I was younger.

Huh.

Expand on the "huh."

You don't seem like a car guy.

How can you tell?

We just met.

What, you don't get
first impressions of people?

No, not that specific.

Hey, are you sure

you don't want
to sleep upstairs

in the extra bedroom?

Oh, no.

Your mom's coming tomorrow.

This way, the room'll be
nice and fresh for her.

Okay.

Besides, I like
sleeping next to a fire.

Next to the net of a catamaran
in the Caribbean,

I'd say it's my favorite place
to sleep.

The net of a catamaran?

Don't knock it.

Once you fall asleep

with Orion
coming over the ocean horizon,

you realize
you just fulfilled a dream

you never knew you had.

All right,
I'm starting

to get a small sense
of who you are.

You're adventurous.

I am.

Rarely in one place
for too long.

All my life.

Army brat?

Sort of...

Minus the army.

My parents worked
in international finance.

I grew up traveling
my whole life.

Mm.

And tomorrow,
I'm hitting the road again.

Thanks again
for letting us stay.

No, thank you.

Sleep well.

Good night.

Sorry.

Don't be.

I was just about awake anyway.

Are those from all
the places you've been?

Uh...

Some of the places
I've been, yeah.

I want to travel one day,

see everything.

Oh, yeah?

There's a lot to see.

Would you want to look through
some of my travel photos

while I go get cleaned up?

Really?

Yeah, sure.

Here.

There you go.

Have at it.

I think you made the right call.

I'm monitoring
the weather conditions,

and it looks like all the roads
going into the mountains

are closed right now.

Well, how long
is that going to last?

Mm, at least a day
to clear them?

That's what I read.

So your guest is stuck,
even if her car is ready today.

What's with that expression?

Nothing.

Don't "nothing" me.

I raised you.

Is there something wrong
with this woman?

No.
She's, uh...

Pleasant.

Pleasant?

Hmm.

What's her name again?

Emory Blake.

She's a travel writer...

And no, it's fine.

It's just unexpected.

Your granddaughter
just texted me,

demanding breakfast in bed.

Oh.
Well then, you'd better go.

I'll let you know

as soon as
I'm on the way to you, okay?

Love you.

Emory... Blake...

Pleasant.

Hmm.

- Oh!
- Whoo!

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

At least you didn't hit me
with krav maga this time.

The day is young.

Well, good.

Then I have something
to look forward to.

Well, I plan on spending
the day writing.

I've got my eye

on this little office
attic space up there,

and I claim dibs,

so please don't get any ideas.

It is all yours.

Katy and I will be working
on her bucket list.

Her what?

It's her list

of all the awesome things
she wants to do for Christmas.

Oh, well...

You'd better get cracking.

All right.
We'll stay out of your way.

Yeah, good luck.

♪ I don't want
much for Christmas ♪

♪ I love Louis
and I love Dior ♪

♪ But I've got my heart
set on something different ♪

♪ One special thing
I've been wishing for ♪

Whatcha looking at, buddy?

Emory let me look at it.

It's all her travel photos.

Oh.

These are from Christmas
all around the world.

Quite a few photos here.

Yeah, I want to travel a lot.

Really?

But then I would spend
all of my time going,

"where's Katy?

What is she doing?

Is she having fun?
Is she safe?"

It's okay.

I'll come back
every Christmas.

I'm holding you to that.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Okay!

I'm so excited.
We're finally doing this.

All right,
so you're going to be doing it.

I'm going to let you
cut down this tree

with your big old muscles.

Yeah!

Why do you have a saw?

Well, cutting down a tree
with my bare hands

is ineffective.

Ha ha...

Don't quit your day job,
counselor.

We're getting
our Christmas tree.

There's a tree farm near town

where you can cut down
your own Christmas tree.

And I've wanted to do this
my whole life.

Ha, that long, huh?

Have you ever cut down
a Christmas tree?

I have to say,

in my whole life,
I have not.

Is it fun?

Well, we're about to find out.

It's our new tradition.

Isn't that an oxymoron?

So we've never
done it before,

but the tradition is old.

right.

Old-fashioned...

Which I saw
on your list in there.

I took a little peek.

It's very thorough.

Very long as well,

so...
We're going to get going.

Right, um,
so, ha...

Here's the deal.

I have to write an article

about an old-fashioned
American Christmas,

and, uh...

I haven't been in the states
for Christmas

in, well, forever.

So...

What are you trying to say?

Could I... tag along?

Just to observe.

You want to observe
our Christmas?

Just to get
some inspiration?

I think your list is exactly
what I need.

Christmas
is for sharing.

See?

Right there.

That is what
I am talking about.

Yeah, fine.

Observe.

Great!
Thank you.

I'm just going to grab
some gloves and a hat,

and... one second.
Please don't leave without me!

These are nice.

You guys like
any of these?

That one.

That one it is.

Okay...

Can Emory cut it down?

I thought this was something

you wanted
to do your whole life.

Well, yeah, but...

You need help
with your story,

and besides, I have more time.

Hey, you
watch it, pal.

We're about the same age.

Are you sure?

What?
You think I can't?

No, you seem
like you could do

anything
you put your mind to.

Mm, how would you know?
We just met.

Been around you long enough
to form an opinion

based on observation
and empirical evidence.

Oof, there's the attorney.

By the way, the garage called
when you were in the shower.

It's the alternator.

Hmm.

Bet you're proud of yourself,
aren't you?

It feels pretty good.

It'll be fixed by tomorrow,
but until then...

Thank you.
Oh!

Would you take my picture?

Yeah.

Oh, right, um...

It's an actual camera.

You just point
and shoot.

You just press
the button?

Okay.

Little different
than your phone, huh?

Yeah.

All right, guys.

Here goes nothing.

Ha ha...
Oh!

There we have it!

Nice work.

Thank you.

You did it.
All right.

That is a beautiful tree.

All right,
one more picture?

Stand next to the tree.

Right.

You too, dad.

Okay.

Say cheese!

Cheese...

Or Christmas tree!

It's fun having a real one
to play around with.

Oh, yeah?

You can keep it.

Oh, no, hey, that's...

No, come on.

'Tis the season,
and all that.

I took
a lot of my travel photos

with that camera.

It's good luck.

Thank you so much!

All right, I think I'm
going to need some help

carrying this tree.

I got this.
I got it.

Thank you!

Follow me.

You excited?

Yeah.

Let's take this home.

Katy!

Johnny!

Well, well,
look who we have here.

Why didn't
you tell me

you were coming to
my neck of the woods?

I'm sorry.

I just got
a little distracted.

I see.

Hi. I'm Alice.
Alice Bennett.

My son, Johnny,

goes to school with
Scott's daughter.

Oh, great!

Hi. I'm Emory Blake.

So, are you guys here together?

No.

No, we had a mix-up
with our cabin rental.

Double-booked,

and then my car had troubles,

and I got stuck
by the snowstorm.

Oh...

That's unfortunate.

But I'm heading back
to San Francisco

as soon as possible.

Oh, what a shame
you won't be here for Christmas.

Pine grove is just
magical this time of year.

I'm so glad
that you and Katy

- are finally getting to see it.
- It was about time.

I've been hearing you talk
about it long enough.

Yeah, I practically deserve
a commission.

I don't think
Hal would like that.

Oh, so you met Hal!
Isn't his shop great?

Johnny makes sure

it's our first stop
every time we come.

I'm sure
it'll be Katy's, too.

Although his record-keeping
could use a little work.

All right, well...

We should get this thing home.

Okay, well,
now that we know you're here,

I'll be in touch.

There are so many fun events
you shouldn't miss.

It was really nice to meet you,
Emory.

You, too.

Great.

Hey, my man.

All right,
let's go, kiddo.

I'll go get
more Christmas lights.

Perfect.

That is a
good-looking tree,

if I do say so myself.

And you did.

And I did.

You know, I think Alice thought
it was good-looking, too...

Amongst
other things.

I'm just saying,
she's very pretty,

and... very interested in you.

She is a parent
at Katy's school.

See how much you guys
have in common?

It's not like that.

Okay.

The thing is,

I haven't really dated
in a long time.

My wife passed away
when Katy was six.

Oh.

I'm so sorry.
I just assumed...

But Katy told me
that Christmas in the mountains

was the one thing
that she could remember

about her mom.

Now I see.

And so she came up
with this list...

And that's why you're here.

That's why we're here.

Nana's going
to love this tree.

All right, what do we
have on that list?

Building a gingerbread house.

Oh!

I saw that there's
a gingerbread house contest

in town.

Dad, we have to do it.

Oh, we have to?
It's a requirement?

Yes.
It's number four.

It's number four.

Well, then you've got to.

All right,

what else do we have
to look forward to?

Baking cookies...

Naturally.

Hanging lights
around the cabin.

Happening.

Also...
Ice skating.

Oh, good.
I saw a rink on the way in.

Do you ice skate?

Um...

I've watched
a lot of ice skating

when I lived in Finland.

It's not really
the same thing.

You think?

Katy!

Okay...

All right, have fun.
Be safe.

You too.

Okay. Here
goes nothing.

You okay?

Uh... just a bruised ego.

You're not supposed
to laugh.

You get points
for determination.

Yes, well, that is
one of my skills...

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Unlike ice skating.

I will be doing
a triple Axel in no time.

Yes, because you have
an amazing coach.

Because I am
a warrior

when it comes
to a challenge.

Scott!

Hey, Alice.

Hey!

Hi!

We are seeing you
everywhere.

Hi, Emily!

Uh, Emory.

Oh! Sorry.

Good news!

One of the roads
has opened up,

so you should be able
to head home

as soon as your car's fixed.

Oh, fantastic.

Also fantastic...

I scored
two extra tickets

to the local production
of "the nutcracker."

I would've gotten a fifth,

but I assumed that you would be
going home by then.

Oh, of course.

So it's, um, tomorrow night.

What do you say?

You and me,
Katy and Johnny?

Sounds amazing.

Great, then it's a date!

See you then!

"Date" is just
a figure of speech.

One often associated
with going on a date.

Yeah, but it's...
I mean, it's not a date.

Right.

Little pro tip
from a woman's P.O.V.?

She thinks it's a date.

All right,
triple Axel time.

Whoa...

Whoa!

So, what are you doing now?

Following them around
and taking notes?

No, I'm participating in parts
of Katy's Christmas list.

Oh, good.

I told you,

I cut down the tree.

And I'm very proud.

Is it helping?
With the article?

You know, it is, actually.

I had
a mostly productive morning.

That's encouraging.

You know...
And it's been fun.

Really?

Yeah, I mean...

Bruises
from the ice skating aside.

Naturally.

Plus,

it was very entertaining
watching Scott try to pretend

this whole
Alice-nutcracker thing

isn't a date

when it so obviously is.

That doesn't bother you,
does it?

What?

No.

I mean...

Sure, he's a nice guy,

albeit pretty goofy at times,

but, you know, he should date
whoever he wants.

And you're sure that's not you?

I'm sure.

Anyway, I'm leaving just as soon
as his mother gets here.

What's keeping you there now?

Oh, well, I promised Katy

that I'd help her
decorate the tree

once her grandma gets here...

Which is the quintessential
Christmas experience, right?

Especially with a cute kid
and her handsome single father.

I never said he was handsome.

Is he?

Only in the most conventional
sense of the word.

Meaning obvious
to those who have eyes.

Correct.

So, he's handsome.

Correct.

And you like him.

I believe the word
you're searching for

is "correct".

Veronica,
if you could see this woman

he doesn't realize
he's going on a date with...

I mean, she's perfection.

Nice dodge,
and no one's perfect.

Alice is close.

She's pretty and nice

and has her own cute kid...

I mean, she's exactly what
a guy like Scott would want.

But do they have chemistry?

Because, like I said,

you can't fake chemistry.

We made it...

We made it.

And it was worth it.

- This place is beautiful.
- Isn't it lovely?

Oh, my goodness.

I've got to go.

Where is everybody?

Hey!

Oh, my goodness.

I've missed you!

You made it!

Good.
Glad to have you.

Emory!

Come meet my mom.

Hi!

Emory Blake?
How nice to meet you.

You too.

I'm so happy
that you finally could make it.

So am I.

It has been
quite the adventure so far.

I bet.

I'm going to go help Hal
with the luggage.

Okay.

Did you see the Christmas tree?

Tree?

It's beautiful.

Aw... mwah!

Emory cut it down.

Did she now?

She travels a lot.

She's had Christmases
all around the world,

but she hasn't had
a Christmas in America

for a long time.

Yeah, so long

that I can't even remember
the last time I celebrated here.

Well, then I'm so glad

our family
could share it with you.

I am going to talk Scott

into making a roast
for Christmas dinner.

Ooh, that sounds amazing,

but I'm out of here
just as soon as my car is fixed.

And when the bridge
is repaired.

The bridge?

It is out.

That's why I brought
Marilyn up the back way,

by ATV.

Seriously?

They should have it fixed

first thing
in the morning.

That means
you get to stay here longer!

All right.

Now, by show of hands,

who wants to finish
decorating the tree?

How come
they went out?

Uh, one of them
must be out.

Well, which one?

You have to figure out
which one it is.

Well, that's inefficient.

Well, you wanted
a genuine Christmas experience.

When do we get
to the cookies?

Here's an extra.
Find it.

Oh, here we go.

Ha ha!

♪ O Christmas tree
O Christmas tree ♪

♪ Your leaves

Looking good!

Oh, what are those?

I brought these
from home.

These are your
Christmas ornaments.

I've had them in
storage in the attic.

I think it's time
we bring them out.

Don't you?

Now, this one...

This one has
your name on it.

Your mom and I made that

for your first Christmas.

What do you guys think

about putting some of these
on the Christmas tree?

Candy canes?

One of my first
Christmas memories

was one of our neighbors
in Berlin,

their tree was just...
Covered in them.

It was so festive.

So you do have
a Christmas tradition

after all.

I guess so.

Hadn't thought of it
like that.

I love that idea.

All right, we've got
to make sure

we get them all
on the tree.

All of them?

Where's the fun in that?

Here you go.

So pretty!

Yeah!

What's up?

How do you put pictures
onto a computer?

Oh, you've got to plug it in.

There's a cord
in the back of the case.

Like a phone.

Yeah, like a phone.

Thanks.

I have an idea
for a project with photos.

What about?

I can't tell you.
It's a surprise.

Oh...

What?
What's wrong?

Uh, nothing.
It's from Alice.

I lost track of time.

Katy, we have to get ready
for "the nutcracker."

What about the tree?

We're going to have
to finish it tomorrow.

Alice and Johnny will
be here in 15 minutes.

We've got to get ready.

Go, go, go, go,
go, go, go, go.

We won't stay out too long.

Don't worry about us.

I have plenty of wrapping to do.

Ooh, I'll help.

Well, thank you.

Have fun on your date.

Not a date.

I haven't wrapped
this many presents

since I spent a semester

with the Marcoux family
in Belgium...

All eleven of them.

Oh, my.

And what about your parents.
Do they celebrate?

Yeah, they do...

Just from, you know,

wherever we are
in the world,

which isn't usually
the states.

When Scott was growing up,

Christmas was our
favorite time of year.

I would cook for days.

We would roast
chestnuts,

and I would make sure the house
was thoroughly decorated,

of course.

We haven't done that
in years...

Not since...

That must've been so hard.

Yeah, it was.

Scott just seems
a little lost ever since.

No, that's not
the right word.

It's more, um...

Protective...

Of Katy and himself.

That's understandable.

But it's not sustainable.

He used to be
so much more... free.

I just want him
to get back to that,

be a bit more open.

Well...
Maybe he'll meet someone.

More tea?

Sure.
Thank you.

That was so much fun.

Good night.

Bye!

Okay, have
a good night!

Hey!
How was it?

So much fun.

Oh...
Aren't you tired?

Not me.

Oh...

Uh, hey, um...

The garage called,

and they're going
to bring my car by here

tomorrow afternoon.

So you're leaving?

No!

Katy...

But she's going
to be alone.

Wouldn't be my first time.

Stay.

I mean,
you're clearly having fun.

The company
has made it wonderful.

Then keep the company.

Dad?

It's up to Emory.

As long as
I get my article done,

I don't suppose it could hurt.

Yes!

Yes!

Great.

How goes the article?

Slowly,
but at least it's going.

What about you?

You got some work
waiting for you

when you get home?

Plenty when all
is said and done.

Uh, corporate law?

Good guess...

Thank you.

But wrong.

Uh, good guess once.

Oh, so you once did
corporate law.

Once.

I worked every single
minute I could

and far more
than I should.

What happened?

Lisa.

You know,
she always begged me

to work fewer hours,

and I...
Never listened,

and after she was gone,
everything shifted.

After you.

All right, so...

What can we do to make

the most amazing
gingerbread house ever?

An ice rink in the back yard!

Mm!

Yes!

I'll make blue frosting.

Perfect...
I think we need

a fallen ice skater
on the ice, too.

Just for
authenticity.

That's mean.

Okay,
what else?

We need pine trees.

We can use pretzel sticks
with dyed green rice krispies

or popcorn for the leaves.

If all else fails,

we can just use
an overturned sugar cone

with green gum drops.

How do you know all this?

We lived next to a bakery
when I lived in London.

You'll find I'm a wealth
of trivial information

like that.

As I'm learning.

What about the roof?

Oh, I know, why don't we use
Graham crackers?

Or brown frosting,

or we could even use
some almonds, you know,

as shingles.

Not almonds.

Why?

It's a long story.

Are you familiar with
Swedish Christmas porridge?

No.

Let's just say
I'm recently single

because of it.

Interesting.

We could use
white frosting

and put snow
all around it.

What do you think?

Perfect!
I love it.

Snow everywhere.

Everywhere.

Finishing touch.

Mm-hmm.

That's a good look
for your snowman,

but you need to go get yourself
a new hat,

'cause your snowman
is presently warmer

than you are.

No colds for Christmas.

Picture time!

Say... snowflakes.

Snowflakes!

Can I take
my camera

to Johnny's party?

Of course.

I'll go get my hat.

Party?

Yeah, uh...

Alice apparently
throws a party

for all the families
that are in town.

She made sure
to invite you and my mom.

That's nice of her.

She's a nice person.

I take it
your date went well?

I'm sorry.
I'll stop.

I'll stop.

So, you're currently single.

Is that why you came

to spend time alone
for Christmas?

A bit.

I guess I came out here

just to, you know,
gather my thoughts

and why I...

I don't know,
haven't settled down...

And then my editor
took advantage

of my quiet alone time.

And then we barged in.

Which has proven to be helpful.

Glad to be of service.

Yeah, it's been...

Different...

Actually doing all these things,
you know?

Decorating the tree...

building this girl here.

I didn't realize
how much I'd been missing.

Now I just need to figure out
the angle of this article.

Yeah, so,
back to this almond thing,

how did that play
into you being single?

To be fair, it wasn't entirely
the almond's fault.

The break-up was inevitable.

Why?

Well, for starters,
we weren't together enough.

Because of your travels?

Yeah, that was definitely
an issue,

but...

Let's just say
something was missing.

Hello.

Hello!

Oh, I'm so glad
you all could make it.

Great dress, Emory.

Thank you.
You too.

Thanks.

Katy, Johnny's upstairs,

making Christmas ornaments
with the other children,

if you'd like to join.

Can I, dad?

Absolutely.

Um, so,

help yourselves
to everything.

I'm just going to steal Scott
for a minute.

I have some
attorney friends

that I would like
for you to meet.

Great.

She is so lovely.

And smooth.

So smooth.

Eggnog?

So yes.

Hey, Marilyn!

Oh, look who's here.
Look, I'll be back.

Yeah.

Come meet
the travel group.

Ah, fancy meeting Hal here.

What a surprise!

It was a very interesting
conversation.

Hmm?

They are all members
of the pine grove globetrotters,

and they have invited me
to join them

on their upcoming trip
down the Danube.

That is awesome!

I don't really
travel...

Well, not anymore.

Why not?

Well, when
I was younger,

I had to raise Scott,

and then...

I think I just got
comfortable, you know,

or maybe stuck.

Gosh, I can't imagine
not traveling.

Really?

Yeah.

Well, aren't we a pair.

Do you want one?

Mm-hmm.

You want to hear a crazy idea

about what would make me
very happy right now?

What?

Going home...
Making tea...

Working on our
gingerbread house.

Okay,
so it's not just me,

because I have been thinking

about using a chocolate bar
for a front door

all night!

Gingerbread nerd.

I just think
you're jealous

that you didn't think
of it first.

Guilty.

All right,
I'll get the girls.

I'll get the coats.

Yeah!

All right.

There were
some wonderful entries,

and like last year,

this year's decision
is unanimous.

Okay, let's cross our fingers.

Fingers.

For evoking the feeling of being
at home during Christmas,

the winner is...

Number 12!

Oh, my gosh!

Thank you.

Thank you.

Let's get a shot
of the winning family.

Hey.

No, no.
Do a family...

I'm so proud
of you, sweetheart.

We did it together.

Yeah,
but without your suggestion,

we'd still be in San Francisco

instead of snuggling trophies.

Can we come here
next year?

You bet.

Can we invite Emory?

Ah...

Yeah, I doubt that's going
to happen, sweetheart.

Why?

She's been
a part of everything,

and a big part
of why this is so much fun.

It's true.

She is
an unexpected plus,

but you know,
she has her own life,

a very full life,

which I'm sure will take her
someplace else next year.

We can still ask her.

Get some rest.

Katy sleeping?

Yeah,
the sleep of the victorious.

She asked

if we could come back
here again next year.

Oh, well,

I think I'd
like that, too.

Yeah?

Yeah.
It's been nice.

Are you enjoying being
out of your comfort zone?

Yes, I am, smarty.

Hal, um...

Asked me to join
the local travel group.

They're doing a riverboat tour
down the Danube.

Wow.

And?

I just don't think
it's me.

Oh, but it could be, though.

I suppose it could.

Go!
Travel the world.

Branch out.

Well, at the very least,

I'm going to have Hal reserve
this cabin for us next year,

exclusively,
this time.

Katy did ask
if we could invite Emory.

Well, I don't suppose
it would hurt to ask.

That's exactly what she said.

Exactly...

Except it kind of does.

Why?

Mom, she's not going
to say yes.

How do you know that?

Mom, Emory is a bright
and independent woman

who's traveled the world.

She's not looking
to settle down,

and she's not looking to spend
next Christmas here again

at pine grove.

She's spending this Christmas
with us in pine grove.

Look, the roads are clear.
The bridge is open.

She decided to stay.

Yeah,
but that's this Christmas.

You know, it's sort of fun
and spontaneous,

and another one of her stories

that she'll be able
to share sometime...

In the future,

to someone else
she meets along the way.

Mm.

I think the one
creating the stories,

my darling son...

Is you.

Where's Orion?

Um, right...
There.

As pretty as that is,

this isn't a catamaran
in the Caribbean.

I would advise sleeping
indoors tonight.

It is cold.

Yeah, I noticed.

Fortunately,
I have a fireplace

I get to snuggle up
next to,

get some more
writing done.

Oh, you finally
figured it out?

Yes.

The hard part now

is keeping it
under 2,000 words.

That's good news,
isn't it?

Yeah, it is...

For the article,

and for this book idea

that I've been
flirting with

for the last couple years.

Oh, well, now
I'm intrigued.

Mm...

You can read it
when it's done.

How's it feel?

To get it going again?

Good...

You know, which isn't
always the case

with writing.

Well, it hasn't been
for me lately.

Really?
I thought...

I thought you loved it.

I do...

But lately, I've been thinking

about, you know, taking a break
from so much traveling

and just...
Focusing on the book.

That's funny.

What?

Recently, I've been thinking
the exact opposite...

How now,
Katy's getting older

and how she can appreciate
going out and seeing the world.

She's so curious.

That's important,
you know.

It's how we grow.

Yeah.

I feel like I forgot
how to be curious, you know.

I forgot
how to be open.

I feel like I've
been locked up...

A lot.

When Katy suggested
we come here,

my first instinct was to say no,

and that never used to be me.

Well, I'm glad you said yes.

Yeah?

Yeah.

I wouldn't have
met you otherwise.

Dad, can I have
some water, please?

I should probably...

Yeah,
I'm right behind you.

Don't forget to come
in from the cold.

Coming, sweetheart.

Emory?
Is everything okay?

Everything's fine.

I just finished my article,
and I just wanted to say hello.

Well, in that case,
congratulations and hello.

How's pine grove?

Oh, it's just beautiful.

Oh, and remember
how I emailed you

about the whole cabin mix-up?

Yeah?

Well, I actually ended up
staying with the family,

and we've been going around,

doing as many old-fashioned
Christmas traditions and things

we can think of,

and it's just been... magic.

Christmas magic?

Yeah...

Christmas magic...

And it, um...

It got me thinking.

Yeah, what about?

Traditions.

Why don't we have
any Christmas traditions?

But we do.

We do?

Sure.

For both your mom and me,

the most important tradition

was that we're always together
for Christmas.

No matter where in the world
we were,

it was always the three of us,
side-by-side.

Yeah.

The three musketeers.

Exactly.

But we aren't anymore.

Well, we always invite you
to join us,

but, uh...

You've got your own life
to lead now, Emory,

and I'm proud of you
for that.

Dad?

Yeah?
What is it, sweetie?

Can we make sure

the three of us are together
next Christmas?

Maybe come up here
to pine grove?

I'd like that.

I think that's a great idea.

Whatcha doing there?

Making a stocking
for Emory.

It's not as pretty as ours,
but...

She'll love it.

Do you think we'll see her
after Christmas?

Morning.

Morning.

According to Hal,

there is a Christmas
hay ride tonight.

They're getting it in

before the big
snow storm tomorrow.

I want to go
on a hay ride.

Is it on the list?

It is now.
Number eight.

You, uh, want to join us?

Sure, I'm game.

Very important
s'mores question...

Mm?

The marshmallow.

Do you scorch,
slow roast,

or, please say no...
Leave it uncooked?

Okay, don't think
I'm weird,

but I've never
actually had a s'more.

Say what?

Wow.

All right, well,
that is soon to be rectified.

Good.

And by the way,
the answer is slow roast.

Ah, slow roast.

Filed away.

I'll be back
with the ingredients.

Okay.

Say cheese!

Cheese.

Is this for your photo project?

Yep.

Mm.
When do I get to see it?

When it's ready.
Are you having fun?

I am.

You know, I haven't been
to a Christmas bonfire

in...

I don't even know.

It doesn't matter.

I'm at this bonfire,
and I am having fun.

Katy!

See you!

So, was I right,
or was I right?

Oh, man, you were
definitely right.

This place has made
Christmas special again.

And, um...
Emory, is she having fun?

I think so.

I'm glad.

Come on, you'd have to be blind

not to see the chemistry
between the two of you,

and I'm not interested
in chasing after someone

who's falling for someone else.

Yeah, it just...

It just happened
out of the blue.

I mean, it's crazy.

Enjoy it.

You know, not everyone
gets that kind of magic.

Thank you.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Hey.

Help. I'm spinning.

Scott?

But you almost kissed.

Yeah, but we didn't.

Now he's talking
to perfect Alice,

and they look happy
and... perfect,

with their laughing
and their touching arms

and their
perfectly-suited lives.

Oh, I do not miss this part.

I just keep thinking
about what William said,

how no regular guy
would want to date me

because I travel too much.

That's not how I remember you
telling it.

Especially a regular guy
with a kid.

Okay, look.
Focus.

Communication is key.

Go to Scott and tell him
exactly how you're feeling,

and see
if he feels the same way.

What?

Are you crazy?

No one does that!

Fine.
Then kiss him.

You'll find out one way
or the other.

Okay,

so, uh,
rapture or mortification...

These are my options?

Welcome to love.

Now, I've got
to go feed my kids

and communicate to my husband

that there's a limit
to how many college bowl games

one person can watch in a day.

Good luck.

Okay.

We're gonna be okay.

Oh, well,

you did spend a lot of time
with her this week.

I think we've always
known where we stand,

though.

Mm.
She is lovely, though.

She is.

No, she's great.

She's really great,
you know.

We've had some
fun moments,

but I just don't
think she's it.

Well,
I'm glad you figured that out

before anything happened.

Yeah, that would've
been awkward.

Mm-hmm.

You and Emory, however...

You okay, Emory?

Actually,
I'm not feeling too well.

Um...

Do you know if there's a cab
around?

I don't want
to bug Scott or Marilyn.

I can take you home.

Thank you, Hal.

Come on.

I thought
I would never feel this again.

You do?

Yeah?

You do?
You do.

Yes!

Mom, you don't...

You don't think
being drawn to someone else

is a betrayal?

No.

No, I don't.

I think it's the most
natural thing in the world,

if it's the right person.

Is she?

Oh...

She might be.

Then don't wait, Scott.

Never, ever postpone
the chance for joy

if you get it,
all right?

Promise me.

I promise...

But that goes
for you, too, okay?

You've spent a lot of your time
taking care of me and Katy.

Yes, because
I've been worried about you.

Well, you don't have
to worry anymore.

No.

No, I don't, do I?
I don't.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Yeah.

- After you.
- Thank you.

After you.

Go on, honey.
Let's go.

All right, ladies.

Good night,
sweetheart. Love you.

Good night, good night,

good night, good night.

Say good night.

- Good night.
- Let's go, let's go.

Well done.

Thank you.

There you are.

Hal said that you weren't
feeling well last night,

and you had to leave
a bit early.

Ah, sleep helped.
I'm fine.

Good.

Well, my famous pancakes
are almost ready.

Where are you going?

Home.

Wait... what?

Yeah, my
editor called,

and I got a new assignment.

I've got to go to Katmandu
tomorrow.

But, I mean...
Tomorrow's Christmas day.

I know, that's...

That's the way
it goes sometimes.

But we still haven't
gone sledding,

or watched Christmas movies.

I know, sweetie, I'm sorry.
I really...

I wish we could have done
those things, too.

Emory's leaving!

What?
It's Christmas Eve.

So you can't leave
a little bit later?

Like, after Christmas?

I'm afraid not.
I...

Plus, there's this storm
coming in,

so I should probably head out

before I get...
Stuck again.

It was so nice to meet you!

Oh, you, too, Emory.

And you, little one...

You have been
one of the best parts

of this whole Christmas
getaway adventure.

I wish you could stay longer.

All right,
I'd better go.

Emory, wait.

Hey.

Why do I feel like there's
something more going on here?

I'm really sorry
to disappoint Katy.

Then don't.

Stay.

Merry Christmas, Scott.

What happened?

I have no idea.

Hey, uh,

your rear tire's
a little flat.

Really?

Okay, calm down.

I am calm.

Crushed, embarrassed,
and heartsick, but calm.

Why are you embarrassed?

Because
it's always embarrassing

when you put yourself out there
for another person.

But you didn't.

Not really.

That's not true.

No, you did
the whole subtextual

"i-like-you-do-you-like-me?"
Thing with your eyes,

but you never actually
put yourself out there

by telling him how you feel,
or kissing him.

And it turns out,
that's a good thing

because I now have
a tiny sliver of dignity

onto which I'm now clinging,
thank you.

Well,
if there's one positive thing

that's come out of this,

it's been your writing.

Yeah.

You know, I think
I'm going to take some time,

try and work on the book.

That's good news,

especially
after this last article.

You liked it?

I loved it.

You put more of yourself
into this one, by far.

What do you mean?

Well, lately,
you've been traveling so much,

it's like you've developed
this detachment.

Detachment?

Yeah, more and more,

especially
in your holiday articles

where you write
about traditions...

Almost like an anthropologist.

I had no idea.

I know.

That's why I kind of fibbed

about
the Phil Laskert situation.

He didn't get stuck
on an ice floe again?

No, he did,

but he could've still written
the article.

Then why did you ask me
to do it?

Because as your friend
and your editor,

I was hoping that if you had
a reason to get involved

in the kind of Christmas
you never had growing up,

maybe you'd understand
what makes it so special,

and you might develop
a deeper connection to it.

Well, that worked out better
than you could've hoped.

Can I show you something?

Sure.

Always.
What do you got?

It's my
Christmas present

to you and Emory.

I e-mailed it
to her, too.

Just in time.

All right.

"Thank you for helping me
make the best Christmas.

Katy."

Dad?

I love it.

You were right.

Emory?
I can barely hear you.

I said you were right.

I never really put
myself out there.

I never told him
how I felt.

I just bolted.

Honey, I think you're saying
really important things,

especially the part
about me being right,

but the reception is awful.

Oh, no!

Veronica?

Veronica, can you hear me?

I'm on a road
just outside pine grove.

Emory? Emory!

Veronica?

Okay, you,
it's time for bed.

Very busy day
tomorrow.

Okay.

Okay.
Love you.

Mwah!

Good night.

Good night.

Aw...

Hey, Hal.
What's up?

Emory's car broke down.

Her friend, Veronica,
just called me.

Did she say where Emory was?

No, her phone cut out.

Okay, I'll check the direction
that I saw her drive out.

Uh, stay in touch.

What?

Emory's car broke down.

She's somewhere
on the side of the road, so...

Be careful!

Whoo...

Merry Christmas.

You've really got to think
about getting a new car.

- You think?
- Come on.

How did you know?

Your friend called Hal,
and Hal called me,

and I came looking.

Well, thank you.

We're not in the clear yet.

I mean...
This visibility's dangerous.

I almost turned back.

Why didn't you?

I care about you.

You know,
until we can see clearly again,

we're going to have
to wait this out here,

so it looks like

you're stuck with me
a little longer.

I'm sorry about all this.

I know it isn't exactly
part of your Christmas plans.

I just...

I just, I don't know
why you left.

I told you,

my editor gave me
a new assignment.

C'mon, Emory.

Something happened.

Just be honest with me.

Tell me, why
did you leave?

I was trying
to make it easier for you.

Easier?

I heard you talking to Marilyn
about me...

How we're not suited
for each other.

So I decided

to get out of dodge,
so to speak.

I said that about Alice...

Whom, let
the record show,

I have
zero romantic interest in.

But she's perfect.

Not for me.

You know, I happened to notice

that your car is facing north,

instead of south.

I was headed back
to the cabin.

I got the email from Katy,
with the photos.

I saw it, too.

I tried
to convince myself

that what I was feeling
wasn't true.

But then she captured it.

Yeah.

She did.

Let me be perfectly clear
with you.

You captured all
of my attention

from the moment
you threatened me

with krav maga.

That's what you get
for crashing my vacation.

You crashed mine.

Scott, I've never felt this way
about anyone before.

It feels right.

So we're in this together?

All the way.

Seriously?

I'm no Rudolph,

but I'll guide you
back home.

Thanks, Hal.

What?

I'm just happy!

Hey, why aren't
you in bed?

I'm waiting for Santa.

Oh, thank goodness.

Oh, honey.

Emory!

You came back!

Well, rumor has it

the best Christmas ever
is happening here,

so how could I miss that?

You couldn't.

Nope.

Wouldn't miss it
for the world.

It's called risgrynsgrot.

Is this the
Swedish tradition

with the almond?

You know it?

I travel a lot
with my mother.

In fact, you'll meet her. She's
coming on the April cruise!

Oh!

Wait, you're going?

I am.

Okay, now, what...

What exactly is this
tradition all about?

Whoever finds the almond
will be married within a year.

You are exempt,
little lady.

I have all sorts of ideas
for the travel group.

You know, Costa Rica

is the most bio-diverse
place on the planet.

That could be
our next trip.

As long as you
bring lots of candy!

Oh, I will...
But no almonds.
