me on the decorating committee for the

again

it's the highlight of my days so

i heard that you're gonna be working at

the bakery while you're here oh yeah

i'm happy to help out wherever they need

we're certainly lucky to have you

got such a gift tyler used to say that

his favorite place to be

was the bakery well that's because he

would steal cookie dough when i wasn't

looking

yes and

you were always full of pure joy

[Music]

still our best sellers though i never

could get them quite as good as yours

you're gonna have to tell me your secret

at some point honey i'm not sure i even

remember

it's been a long time well it's kind of

like riding a bicycle i haven't done

that in a long time either

well i'm sure once you get started it'll

all come rushing back

[Music]

so the first day the ice froze your dad

he'd be on that pond

he loved it and your mom would be right

beside him with a big thermos of hot

chocolate just waiting for him

why she can she can tell you some

stories

she doesn't really like talking about

him well sometimes

very happy memories can be sad too

right

would you like to hear another story

was really early in the morning came

down those stairs and he wanted to have

a sneak peek

where's maggie she got held up at the

hall

tarp and they project old christmas

hey do you want some hot chocolate my

grandmother's favorite

nothing

where'd you find that no

i had a whole box then

didn't you tell me about it

you know you don't ever have to hide

what you're feeling from me

it's okay to miss him i miss him too

you know your dad loved making the

setlist for the dance

he would sit with me in the bakery and

play dozens

of christmas albums while i was making

cookies

after my shift i would be humming those

songs for hours

christmas was his favorite day of the

year

until the day you were born and then he

had two favorites

sometimes it hurts to remember the past

but those memories are gifts

the years of laughter and love and joy

you know your dad is always with us

he's right here

we're in this together okay

okay

now press play

oh come all ye faithful

joyful and triumphant oh

come

sounds beautiful i didn't mean to

interrupt sorry

yeah it's hard to learn a whole set list

in a week so i'm just

sneaking in extra practice

is that it's like a

closest thing i could get to a chocolate

croissant what do you want

half absolutely not

normally i don't really have much of a

sweet tooth but my grandma used to make

chocolate croissants from christmas so

remind me home oh i cannot let you eat

this

i know it's not like the healthiest

thing that bring the guitar

let's go yeah yeah come on jack let's go

[Music]

uh it's closed don't worry

i happen to know the owners so

we are gonna make croissants not just

any croissants we are making the winter

family christmas croissant

what makes them christmas that is a

family

secret

peppermint okay well it's not exactly a

well-guarded secret

you're good at this i grew up coming

here i used to dream that i'd own it

someday

boston this just wasn't meant to be

you obviously love it you do

[Music]

you believe in fate

i don't know when i was growing up my

grandmother would always tell my sister

norah and i

what it's meant to be will always find a

way

but it makes it sound like you don't

have a choice no i think it's like

our choices mean something

nothing is random

[Music]

someone gave me a gift a long time ago

mm-hmm

second chance what

life

her injury

i want to repay it

moment of truth wow

okay oh careful

well honestly

grandmother i said that

i would never oh what

thank you for ruining croissants for me

anytime

chances for a reason

[Music]

hmm

[Music]

mistletoe i have no idea what that's

doing there

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

who's mom talking to

[Music]

the bakery has been in our family for

five generations as part of so many

traditions in this town

you said so yourself i did

jess said they want to turn it into a

gastropub

well it's a very attractive location

right in the heart of town

i've had several offers over the years

so now it's on the table

believe me catherine i'd rather not have

to part with the bakery it's just

i don't have a choice at this point

mom is this is this a money issue no

nothing like that but the hours are long

and it's it's very physical work and i'm

afraid i'm just not

up to it anymore

since you're back you want to go ice

those cookies did you give them an

answer

not yet

[Music]

[Music]

you know i always thought you'd

you'd take over for me when the time

came

if i recall for a while there that was

the plan

oh things don't always work out the way

we plan well they still

could i can't work here

why not well first of all the commute

when you first applied at the bank it

was supposed to be temporary remember

maybe it's not my dream job it's

reliable

for sale on okay

mom listen this just

home

who is that that's tyler

catherine's husband

[Music]

can i have everyone's attention

i just have you seen chat

no we've broken all previous together

hey there you are

so i have a question

something wrong

you recognize this

yeah it's bicentennial watch

read the back cat

[Music]

did this belong to your husband

[Music]

yeah he lost it a long time ago

how do you have this

i read the volunteer list he wasn't

there

but i only asked beth for the names of

the men i

i never considered maybe it was a gift

you volunteered at the bicentennial

didn't you

yeah yeah and i had it

engraved for him before he was deployed

he used to always say that he was

counting the hours

until we were together again

he wore it all the time every time we

were apart

he said he was a music teacher yeah yeah

that's what he did when he got out of

the service

i still don't understand how you how you

have this

i was stationed overseas

got into a a bit of a rough spot

i don't remember much except the medic

pulling me out

he was gone before i could even thank

him i didn't even get a name

but he dropped that

i always meant to get it back to him i

don't know why i took so long

but

when i saw the announcement about the

band i thought it was a sign i

i thought it was the perfect time for me

to finally make the trip and find him

i just can't believe this

i know

hi yeah sorry um

dad's about to start his christmas toast

okay

i'll be right there

catherine oh yeah i should go

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

thought i might find you here am i so

predictable well my mother knows

it just seems so unfair why is he gone

and i'm still here

to live honey i see him everywhere

i go to a place tyler and i went to a

thousand times and

immediately it's like i'm right back

there with him

like he never left you share a lot of

memories

you try so hard to put on a brave face

for will

pushing tyler away isn't gonna make you

heal

you're gonna have to find some peace

and part of that is moving on

you know i am i finally

let myself feel

that way again for a second

jack isn't here because the band is here

because of tyler

i don't understand when tyler was

serving

he saved jack's life

jack didn't know that it was tyler until

today

oh

wow it's pretty remarkable how your

lives have intertwined

sounds to me like a christmas miracle

[Music]

oh honey

i'm sorry jack for years i meant to

thank him i just always built it up and

became

so big

i always found a reason not to do it and

now i waited too long what are you gonna

do now

nervous little you're gonna be a hit

what's that it's an early christmas gift

can i open it go ahead

[Music]

it belonged to your dad he wore it every

time he had to go away

he um said that whenever he missed us

he could look at it and it would make

him feel like

we were right there with him

i want you to have it me

he would want you to have it too

i i don't remember this yeah he uh

he lost it for a little while

after he saved a man's life he did

he did there

i think we should just tuck it right

here inside your pocket

right next to your heart

mom you're crying they're just happy

tears

it'll be okay gross

[Music]

oh don't you two look gorgeous go get

your coat

we have to head out early but very

handsome mom

i need to talk to you

what is it honey

i don't want you to sell the bakery oh

catherine we've been through this

already i just don't have a choice

yes you do you can let me help you

i thought you didn't want to come back

you're right i was hiding from

a place i love from people i love

because i was hurt because i missed my

husband

but provincetown isn't just a place

it was our life together it was a happy

life together and i am tired of hiding

from it

if that's what you want it is

you were right i just want to come home

and you know i've been thinking of some

new ideas for those pecan sandies

i'm sure you have

[Music]

[Music]

hi hi oh you look beautiful thank you

oh that dress is amazing i'll have to

pour out one day power mom and dad

[Music]

we're going to slow things down so grab

that special someone and lead them to

the dance floor

asked teddy to sit in for a song why

so that maybe i could convince you to

dance

so what do you say

[Music]

[Music]

i tried calling you i know

yeah just needed time

you asked me if i believe in fate i

still don't know

the answer to that but i do believe that

people come into your life for a reason

like talented for me

and like you did for me

i don't know if it's coincidence or if

it's a christmas miracle that brought

you

into my life but i'm so happy you are
