year with tons of events the entire

month of December actually sounds fun

that's one way to put it

computer I left it on the train is he

asking you about my campaign for

Christmas Grand Marshall no what did

those words mean in honor of it being

the centennial for naming a Grand

Marshall the Christmas celebration

someone who exemplifies the Crestridge

Christmas spirit his brother Frank and I

are the two finalists running so my

little sister vote for you nobody does

Christmas like you do maybe Ryan was

trying to get intel on my campaign no he

was just returning this why are you

looking at me like that this is a big

deal it's like high school class

president all over again except this

time Frank's not gonna win I see the

Mason Crowley feud has not dissipated

can't believe you're here oh it feels

like it's been forever

oh you guys were just in New York this

summer ever since you've been here well

it is really nice to be baby oh let your

father hear you say that he's gonna talk

your ear off about why you should move

home I'm sure Wow looks like the Masons

have really scaled back on decorating I

know your dad's pleased he's been

monitoring them like a hawk they beat us

for best decorated business last year I

remember I got the call I assumed dad's

out for revenge oh that's why he didn't

pick you up he and Grandma are still

putting up decorations we are going all

out on decorations this year you go all

out on decorations every year oh it's

different

this is crest ridges centennial

Christmas celebration for activities

more contest so including press urges

first Christmas dessert take off which

we're hosting by the way grandma must be

so happy they're throwing a huge

Centennial Christmas dance at their rec

hall that's where they're announcing the

grand marshal get you win grand marshal

its trophy and bragging rights for the

next hundred years wow that is pretty

epic

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

welcome home honey so what'd you think

of the front I think it looks great I'm

worried it's not enough let me see my

fancy lawyer Grantham beautiful as ever

as any city boy snapped you up yet nope

not yet

slim pickins back in this town we don't

need to give Jules more reasons not to

live here besides you never know when

she'll decide she misses us and move

back I'm actually for a senior associate

at the firm wow that sounds big it is

it's a lot more responsibility and I

would be on a direct track to become a

partner then we're rooting for you dad

we passed by the maison in still pretty

sparse on the decoration that's because

it's not their year it's ours do mom

tell you about all the great Centennial

Christmas celebrations activities she

did it sounds like a lot a lot of fun I

would say and a lot more ways to show

bill Mason we're the best yeah I'm gonna

go and pack or you could warm up that

arm of yours

the snowball toss is tomorrow they still

do that yep and you are a part of it

rather just watch we'll see

so who wants to put up Christmas lights

I and I'm setting up bins around town

for the toy drive

I'm organizing I I'm gonna go unpack

and I need to finish updating our

accounts I'm baking

[Music]

don't forget to vote Frank Mason for

Christmas Grand Marshall will be a

voting booth at the Centennial Christmas

celebration

Merry Christmas lights yes it is and

I've got some more boxes coming when the

town sees what I have in mind they're

gonna be blown away

I don't know the bakery's doing

something pretty special bakery well as

long as the Crawleys don't win I'm fine

with that I've said it before and I'll

say it again this whole feud with the

Crowley's is absolutely ridiculous it is

not ridiculous all right they started it

we were here first they may serve

breakfast but we have a better location

all right I really don't think we need

to worry about them they don't really

pose a threat to us edge stone resorts

however does it stone resorts on the

train I was reading an interview with

their CEO Kevin Howard he says that all

their success is owed to them

penetrating these overlooked and

underdeveloped properties so what

happens when they come in and they set

their eyes on Crestridge I don't already

have I said no I'm sorry what it's doom

resorts offer to buy the end

when I love while back where you have to

dump well I'm sorry I didn't think it

mattered

Ryan I mean obviously I said no you know

I'm not gonna sell this place I know

that but as the manager I would like to

know stuff like that I mean people don't

want some big fancy resort hotel in town

like this is that's why they come here

to get away from that you know let them

have their fancy spa and their

overpriced restaurants customers like

when they call here and an actual Mason

family member takes the reservation and

I agree but this industry is changing

and these big resorts there come in with

all kinds of amenities and they can

afford the public relations to market

them so I don't know if they managed to

get in here this end could easily fade

in the background but Ryan I know you

just came back from this big conference

but I run this in the way my dad did in

a way his dad did and that's what people

want okay

you of all people know our numbers are

great we're fine for now hey I heard my

oldest son hey mom didn't want to serve

you you disturb me anytime how was the

conference conference was great we

covered a lot of stuff you know I think

I think I saw Julia Crawley at the train

station oh I'm not sure I don't know I

barely recognized her Wow

I haven't seen her write down in a long

time oh there's another vote for Lexie

didn't you two used to be friends

[Music]

hardly what do you I send in for dinner

Jamie's diner for take-out yeah that's a

great idea

yeah usual all-around potatoes please

got it ex writings never change up in

debt thank you

where it

[Music]

Ryan Mason did you know it was me at the

train station I was having a hard time

placing you and I did not know it was

you until my sister pointed it out well

to be fair to both of us it's it's been

a long time it has and we didn't really

found in the same social circles you

were a sophomore as a senior right how

much younger than you football i

lettered in debate that's right yeah I

mean social circles aside probably

wouldn't not much think in our dads

situation Mary Jo thank you again for

returning Mike's here welcome where you

coming from New York New York what do

you work there I do I'm an attorney at a

corporate model Wow where are you coming

Crestridge Jim nice now and they're

friendly faces well your family besides

mayor Victoria Johnson and welcome to

the Crestridge Centennial Christmas

celebration

every year folks flocked to our town to

participate in our Christmas traditions

and I have to say today's event is my

personal favorite the snowball talks in

honor of it being our centennial all

better so this year's snow ball toss

won't be an individual competition it

will be a team competition you'll need

14 members to participate Oh No

what I can already tell what my dad's

thinking and the best part is this

year's prize timely donated by Kevin

Howard spa day passes to edge stones

Resort Hotel over in Mount Marcy sign up

closing soon best of luck and Merry

Christmas

[Applause]

that's Kevin Howard he owns edge stone

resorts

pretty sure I know why he's here because

he's a fan of our Christmas celebration

Lexie are gonna make a great team we

last year huh may I remind you babe I

beat you more times at the snowball toss

Tim that we have won the last three

years in a row I guess we'll have to

change that

my favorite innkeepers Victoria is it -

I heard that that stone is sponsoring

through the holes as possible first up

team Mason ready set

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

next up a steam product set

[Applause]

yes

[Music]

we currently have a tie between the

Cronus team to throw one more snowball

this portion of the competition

different balls are worth different

points

we choose Julia dad yes you have the

best thing that's a lot of pressure so

was law school okay there that's a

little different

No

we'll go first so for the most points

it's worth it for the big one then

you're sure to get it I need to stay

calm

[Applause]

if I miss this we have dinner with me no

I want to win this fair and square

if I make it how about you try this and

then nobody has dinner with anyone

what are you having it's dinner can't

say I didn't try yeah you did you try

[Music]

[Applause]

sorry I guess that makes four years huh

lucky shot

yeah have won my campaign about this

just a few to remind everyone in town

that I have the most Christmas spirit

second time maybe I should have taken

that dinner after all maybe you should

have again Carly

it's you Mason

[Music]

yes and the bake-off will actually be

held right during the lobby we serve

breakfast every morning from 7:00 to

9:00 there's a full list of Crestridge

Christmas celebration activities in your

room enjoy your stay Thanks

you're a natural at this well when

you've been working the front desk since

you were a kid at second nature still

you were always good one-on-one with the

guests maybe that's why you're a good

lawyer

your clients must love you unfortunately

I don't get to work directly with

clients in person these days but

hopefully that will change with the

promotion boy they cookies sure to go

fast around here you know what I can't

wait for everyone to experience

grandma's skills in the bake-off the

Masons they bit of decorations it's good

it's really good and this year in order

to win best decorated busy what did I

tell you put in a whole zoo it's not bad

do you wanna do something to light up

these trees and this will be completely

gone

Wow

not too shabby yeah you like it's

beautiful hmm

well joint effort between my father

myself he want every scratch covering

lights and some genius but always

beautiful Christmas treats everywhere

I'm assuming you aren't that genius

thank you for saying so appreciate that

he's starting to listen to your ideas

after all that's because he wants to win

best decorated business have you ever

just been straightforward with him and

told him you want more responsibility

he's well aware when I did to go to law

school instead of working at the end my

dad was in denial until I sat him down

and I told him that becoming a lawyer

was my dream I wanted to help people and

I hoped he would support me and did he

took some convincing I was honest with

him so that helped

just keep trying that's because he went

to win a Christmas like competition yes

according to Crawley lore the Masons

always been quite competitive oh boy I

would love to hear more of a scent

Crawley war the way my grandma tells it

you guys are entirely responsible for

this feud is that right mm-hmm Mason

Laura paints it a little bit different

my great-grandfather spent years of

back-breaking labor working at the

railroad in hopes to one day be able to

save enough money to open his own Inn in

his favorite town he found the perfect

plot of land right by the railroad and

in Samuel Mason your great-grandpa

swooped in early bought it out from

under him and opened his own Inn are you

gonna say anything

yeah this great story thank you is the

way I hear it is my great-grandfather

won fair and square in that bidding war

George Crowley just couldn't take it got

jealous and he opened up a rival in just

from our family out of business

somewhere in the middle probably lies

the truth I think you felt

think they'll ever get over it not in

the foreseeable future

nice work Maisie a good night Carly

Julia did you hear me calling come on

rise and shine honey I need your help

downstairs what time is it it's time to

get up Dan I worked the front desk last

night Lexi's making breakfast

mama grandma are doing breakfast we have

something much more exciting what is

going on Wow dad it may not look like

much but with your help and a couple

hours of work our yard will come alive

with bigger better and classier

Christmas decorations is this because of

the Masons new decorations yes I was

thinking on to smallest scale we need so

much more if we're gonna compete on the

Masons level we don't have time all the

businesses that want to be considered

for the contests have to have their

final decorations up tonight so people

have time to vote before the end of the

celebration piece of cake I'm not gonna

ask you where you got all this stuff in

the middle of the night but I am gonna

ask if there's any way I don't have to

help you put it together come on Jules

it'll be fun beautiful morning air

quality time with my daughter's and best

of all a display that will make jaws

drop let's place these bows on the boxes

and we have a magical world of presents

sounds like a plan

you waiting for a call just waiting to

hear if the partners have made a

decision on who to promote I'm gonna do

fine now that's the worst part I don't

know well I hope you get it I know how

hard you have worked thank you

I've put in ten years at this firm so

and I hope they see what I'm capable of

they gave me this time off but part of

me wonders if it was a test and I should

have stayed in case they needed anything

I miss this

no I'm happy to be home even if it means

waking up insanely early to help dad

build his Christmas paradise you have to

admit yesterday was really fun it was

I just wish dad didn't get so heated

about the Masons and talk like you're

not part of the few because I'm not you

used to be I guess living outside of

Crestridge just given me some

perspective this whole feud it happened

what three generations ago I think we

should have moved on right now what

would that be

I saw you blushing yesterday when you

were talking to Ryan Mason I think I

sense a crush and I think you've been

outside too long and you are not making

sense glad to see you guys are working

so hard but I need one of you Christmas

Grand Marshal all right here's your room

key we serve breakfast from 7:00 to 9:00

in the morning enjoy your stay thank you

so how's decorating she pointed it going

don't get me started I'm just looking

for dads tape measure

[Music]

what's this oh that's nothing really

edge stone resorts wants to buy our in

how well they tried and your dad firmly

said no he'd never sell should we be

concerned they even asked no luck you've

seen things names doing great especially

this time of year a lot of people come

for the Christmas celebration I'm sure

that edge stone just wants a piece of

crest Rogers Christmas - nurse - you

have nothing to worry about okay this

Inn has been in our family for

generations

we're not going anywhere

still I wonder if they're asking anyone

else to sell and if they do find a

property what would that mean for us

it wouldn't be good

but it's okay

now go finish helping your father make

as decoration dreams come true

[Music]

forget right in the song Frosty the

Snowman what brings frosty to life that

yes I love you I love you too

why are you asking about frosting

because the day after tomorrow is the

Christmas trivia and we need to practice

because I do not intend on giving up my

winning streak so what brings frosty to

life no it's also Patsy this is we're

gonna practice I promise I will brush my

frosty tribulation but right now I'm

working on some sketches I want to see

if they give you like him I'm thinking

we do some kind of addition to the maybe

a small gym right around here or we can

make this a sauna and spa what do you

think I we just don't need that in here

um I really think we should consider

adding some sort of addition all these

bigger resorts like edge stone they have

these amenities to provide to their

guests I've checked their funds we can

do this I priced it all out the look and

feel of this Inn is classic I just think

adding on would take away from the

aesthetic my grandfather built here how

would you feel about maybe converting

the garage

yeah okay but today the name of the game

is Christmas trivia so on that note sir

what Christmas themed Russian ballet

premiered in Saint Petersburg in 1892

[Music]

well done my son I'm so proud of you

okay you're still into practice though

real win okay pretty brave coming over

here

you nervous somebody's gonna see us

talking no should I be

maybe so is this a new hobby taking some

land measurements thinking about putting

in a gym hmm I won't suggest a new

wallpaper for the guest rooms and my dad

looked anything like I was crazy

oh no no my dad's to the exact same way

I'm going with a new tactic and I'm

gonna show him some numbers use

something different to compete with the

bigger whistles speaking of the bigger

resorts do you want to meet me for a

secret cup of hot chocolate

I have something you run by you

if I casually bumped into you at the

diner in about 10 minutes

accidentally

it's the same letter my dad got really

[Applause]

clearly Esther wants to build a

respirator so let's say they do find a

property what would that mean for our

families ends will be terrible they

opened up one in Valley Hill and their

B&B was closed they opened up two in

Campton and they were in both the ends

out of business what's so special about

edge stone they offer things that we

just can't I mean they have entire spas

gyms clothing boutiques nice restaurants

so what do we do I don't think there's

anything we can do other than just make

sure that our ends are up to date as

much as possible there's got to be

something more than convincing my dad to

get on social media I'm not talking

socially I mean up-to-date amenities the

interesting how concerned you are about

this this is my family

no I I know but

don't you work for a big corporate law

firm yes I do

redstone is in our client concern for

small-town business it's just

it's an interesting career path so let's

hope well I'm sorry I just wanted more

than being stuck in this town

so what you think I'm stuck here that

came out wrong I just I think you had a

lot going for you in high school and

after it and to the world at your

fingertips and you made it a choice and

you came back to work at the end

like this town thing I care about the

people in it and you think I don't thank

you for meeting me

I am I should probably go

[Music]

so hey you guys want me to quiz you on

some more Christmas of trivia after the

next um I can't I actually had to get

things ready for the gift basket for the

troupe's event I'm hosting tomorrow I

mean putting things together all week

and we're actually short some volunteers

so if you know of anyone sure no doesn't

a Lexie volunteer at the VA we should

invite her up I'm competing against her

why would I invite her to my charity

event because it's a charity event

I'm just saying you might be surprised I

never once I'd you try to be friends

with Julia while we're growing up

where's this coming from we don't know

them all that well so

don't judge too quickly I'll think about

it just let me know if you need

[Music]

what are you doing

what's knocking snowballs

yeah

you uh welcome down it's late you can

always keep knocking I'll be right there

[Music]

[Music]

my whole family's inside yeah I don't

have your number so I wanted to

apologize about what happened back in

the diner probably probably should have

said some that stuff I'm sorry too I

forgive you Reba's right now like right

now yeah are you free I'm free Pam I'm

free

perfect I know okay

let's go

[Music]

here's my famous hot chocolate

thank you very welcome Merry Christmas

this place hasn't changed

yeah this is the first buildings in

Crestridge they actually measured in one

steadies pub is smack dab in the center

it's impressive

it's a beautiful property all this old

brick yeah and you should see the

rooftop the views of the lake it's

incredible

until an Eddie Hughes to open up a

rooftop bar you do have a good mind for

business

thank you I'm sorry I said what I did

about you staying here

sorry for question new concerns

you know after I got my MBA I actually

worked at a small startup tech company

Chicago I didn't come right back up I

did not know that I hated the crazy

hours and then the same workload and

that's missing the fact I never got to

work with an axe person so after about a

year that decided I've had enough

but here at the end I get to work with

guests one on one and see that even the

small things I do they matter to people

hey Bob looks paperwork

I'm hoping this promotion I'm up for

will lead to more human interaction but

it's also been mean longer hours and

less of the life maybe our

great-grandfather's knew how fulfilling

it was to help people or on war and

that's why they built the units or maybe

it was the end of the first world war

and recreational activities were on the

rise and they saw the economic potential

of the small mountain town vacation spot

actually been thinking a lot about what

you said about how you wish there was

more that we could do to keep etched on

a crest Ridge

I want to do more we could write a

strongly worded letter telling edge

stone to stay away I was thinking more

of a keep outside what about the

snowball toss and the person who wait a

second that could actually be it right

you should definitely challenge Kevin

Howard to snowball you know our fathers

their natural competitiveness what if we

could get them to join forces against

edge stone

yeah that could work I'm it's easier

said than done we're talking about a

century long feud here but I mean if

anyone can do it it's us really yeah be

great be great together I mean we could

work great together

yeah so what do we do we get our

families together right we need to help

them see how much they have in common

unless you plan on taking all them and

locking them up in a room against will I

think that's true yeah yeah what about

trivia night

everyone's gonna be here no I'm Way too

competitive that's where their worst

right war we could see if they want to

volunteer to make gift baskets for the

troops tomorrow love it

I'll rally the troops to help the troops

let's do it cheer it's juice making

miracles happen

[Music]

hello sweetie cream ah hey what are you

doing up I was going to ask you the very

same thing

I just went out on a little walk in the

middle of winter in December I can't get

nature like this in Manhattan join me

for a cup of pepper pink you

I ever tell you about your great aunt

Elizabeth just that she lived in

California she was a lot like you

ambitious hard worker she used to sneak

in and out of that very door - she

sneaked out to go see the man she was in

love with his name was John Mason when

your great-grandfather found out about

it he told her she had to break it off

immediately it was a betrayal to the

family did she know

she loved him so what happened she asked

him to move away with her and he said no

he couldn't leave his family or the town

and so he ended it broke her heart she

moved away not long after him the last

thing I want is for you to have a broken

heart this is nothing like that I live

in New York and I know I can't get

attached to anyone you always wanted to

be a partner in a good firm I will not

let anything or anyone jeopardize that

good

but I do think it's time we leave the

past behind us

that's hard to do

the past doesn't like to let go / maybe

we don't like to let go of it but

Christmas is known for its miracles

good morning Hey well look who decided

to wake up I fell asleep wait for the

record I saw that outside your room this

morning with a blow horn but I talked

them out of it and you are the best

sister EVER we're just so excited to

have you home we want to spend every

minute with you then you should come

with me today to make Christmas gift

baskets for the truce that's not the

Masen end yes it is and I hear they

could use some extra hands you know how

much I love the cause we have Christmas

trivia tomorrow we need to study and

it's Christmas trivia

how much do you need to study well I

overheard Eddie yesterday in the library

asking the librarian about Crestridge

Christmas history I'm thinking it's

gonna be its own category so we need to

brush up isn't that cheating it's not

cheating it's additional information

good miss gift baskets for the troops is

a great idea

Jill y'all join me mom the Masons are

hosting so Christmas is about giving

just as much as it is receiving does it

matter who's in charge you're right and

I do love making a good gift basket just

leaves you dad I think that I can

volunteer of my time

for the troops for the truce

basket here we go

tomorrow at the trivia yeah just so you

know I've been studying so you're gonna

be in trouble yeah

be a category that's good to know yeah

you know even playing field

yeah well good luck because you're gonna

need it wheeler event Christmas trivia

pinners of course will receive one month

of free drinks right here at Eddie's pub

[Applause]

last 10 years but master Eddie who's

ready for Christmas trivia

[Applause]

[Music]

moving on to our big category round

breast rates Christmas history

and the winner

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

before you get back to your wheels I

have one more announcement this will

actually be my last Christmas

celebration here in Crestridge I know I

know but my daughter just had my first

grandkid and I want to retire and move

back to Florida and be closer to them we

are so sorry that you are retiring who's

going to be taking over the pub actually

I decided to sell the place the entire

Street for businesses in fact so yeah

extolled resorts made me a great offer

[Music]

bad very bad they could run my family

out of business mine too

so we need to do something and fast we

still need to work on getting them on

the same page they can stand up to edge

don't there's power in numbers and both

families are facing the exact same

problem I agree so we need to get them

together

is your family participating in the

bake-off no they're scared of your

grandmother great I have an idea

[Music]

how can Eddie sell to them they made him

a good offer there you are

did you win yeah you don't look like you

did headstone Resorts is buying Eddie's

Papa oh dear yeah and they're just gonna

tear down the entire building and put in

one of their cookie cutter resorts

there's plenty of time to worry about

this later bake-off is tomorrow and I

need all hands on deck for my Bush

journal well I'm on it my first year

running begin we had a really slow

season I was afraid we were gonna have

to close but guess what we pulled

through the Crawleys always do it'll be

okay I know best thing to do when life

gets hard bake something

[Music]

Aleksey could you go get those utensils

there you go thanks I'll start on the

dry ingredients

oh that's not good see they might come

back on well it's the entire in I told

you there was one too many electric

things in the yard those things are

gonna win us the best decorated business

award

not if they short-circuit our power

they're not we're hosting the bake-off

tomorrow I'll get the back-up generator

running cover the guest rooms then I'll

call the electrician have them out here

first thing in the morning but what

about my Bush dinner well can you just

make it tomorrow before the bake-off

this dessert requires time patience and

precision we need much more than candles

to bake why don't we just use somebody

else's kitchen who else would have the

space we need this time of night the

Masons I suggesting we just call him up

and ask to use their kitchen well dad

did bill a favor by giving him a heads

up on trivia I don't know this is

different doesn't the generator cover

all the guest rooms so the guests will

be fine and there's a night clerk on

duty if anyone needs anything son I have

to do this

Edna Harrington and I agreed that this

bake-off would be the final say on who

is the superior Baker

fine I will call them

[Music]

let me help you with that

don't be so surprised I'm actually not a

bad guy never said you were pouch yep do

I ask no what exactly is a bush did in a

while

it's a rolled sponge cake filled and

frosted with chocolate buttercream Oh

see you log cake then pushed in Noel

our ancestors were famished and say it

seems complicated to me it is hmm I

think that's why it's going to win you

know I think we've got this covered if

you guys want to do something else did

you show mr. crow the new pool table

wait you got a pool table yeah yeah the

customers love it yeah

had you been talking about getting a

pool table for a long time yeah you two

should play you don't need us here no I

think we got it mr. racin question they

want us to leave yeah shown the pool

there when when did you get a potent

you don't belong in here it goes faster

if you whisk it up higher actually given

the separation of the cream it's more

flavorful if you alternate fun fact it

goes pretty good that's really good yeah

try this

and I usual ordered it looks like

business is going well yeah very well

you yeah good yeah I can't believe they

got to Eddie yeah tell me about it I

guess I just don't had look elsewhere

after I turned them down they made you

an offer

yeah that's too

you worried

[Music]

I don't know you yes actually I don't

get what's so great about these big

fancy resort exactly I mean they're all

the same cutter no character

these d'harans reflect the flavor of

this town exactly yes right yeah you

know what you're gonna do no you

[Applause]

if you liked it don't forget to vote

enjoy already samples I know I should

have paced myself did you try the hot

chocolate cupcakes no I've been too busy

with these greenhorns just wish you'd

told us first Eddie I mean a resort like

that could put us out of business I'm

just thinking he might do the opposite

it'll bring in more tourists have you

signed anything yet is this a done deal

no I just got the paperwork hey what are

we talking about just discussing the

sale hey more hot chocolate anyone

thanks thanks to get some

did you know about this well I knew that

Kevin Howard had been spending more time

here but I didn't know that I just don't

officially made an offer

this changes a lot I know you're both

concerned and I get it but a big hotel

like this may allow for growth

besides these days people expect a lot

of their lodging like a spa or a gym

what I hear ooh excuse me a sec Melanie

just put out reindeer turds

100 years just like that could be over

[Music]

I don't know about y'all but I am full

the votes are in and I have the winners

of our first Crestridge Centennial

Christmas celebration dessert pickup

[Music]

[Applause]

actually we had some help so technically

it's the Crawley Mason family push to

Noel

well other than edge stone coming in and

trying to ruin their town he'd say that

was a big success I'd say we make a

pretty great team a shame this is just a

city huh

I think they should do this every year

we'd have to come home for Christmas a

lot more often or maybe

I'm walking there

I'd like that

[Music]

keep Jules hobbies nevermind nevermind

so your sister must mr. okay

come together

[Music]

um were you can Ryan just what are you

guys I think I have to take this you're

not getting out of this well so what's

up hey sorry to interrupt your vacation

no it's okay I just wanted to let you

know Thomas was back and he just called

a meeting with a partner so he did yeah

I don't know discuss the promotion or

anything but I just wanted to give you a

heads up basicall okay thank you

[Music]

a great day community celebration

recommendations you let me know if you

like peppermint and hot chocolate make

sure to stop at Jeanne's for amazing

don't forget to Reese make you luckily

we have enough treats at the end thank

you you can never have enough free let's

let's do it I'm down thank you grandma

I'm working dear

it's beautiful you're writing me sweep

the baby behind

yeah hot chocolate you're right they're

lovely you can make your own wreaths

look it's the crawlies so Jim you have

any experience making wreaths

I majored in wreath making you yeah well

if I weren't an innkeeper it'd be a

professional reef makers so no clue no

clue at all there's a repack to be round

I have the same question I think that

it's just a garland I think I'm gonna go

with the garland I love a good garland

I'm gonna go see if grandma has silver

ribbon

real quick before you get to your cousin

I wanted ask you ask away the dance is

tomorrow night and I was wondering if

you'd like to go with me

now before you say anything about our

families not getting along don't you

look over there and look what we've

accomplished

and that is all our efforts right there

that's hard to do I was gonna say I

would love to

okay pick you up at 6:00 preferably on a

horse and sleigh

like a one-horse open sleigh I'm kidding

no I think I can make it happy we're

centrally located people like them and

we have dining options for our guests

which is more important that's gonna see

so what's going on oh it's don't coming

and I was just saying more likely than

not only one of our endless survive I

agree and it will be ours

and that'll be ours because we are in

Crested first-first

by one month and only because you took

the property next to the railroad

station we bid on that property fair and

square we have way more rooms

Ryan is a lot of new ideas he wants to

add a gym this is ridiculous it's all

speculation it is ridiculous will not be

the maisonette I think we better go no I

know how he feels and he has always

thought is in is better and well I guess

we'll find out whose closes first

whoa maybe we're kidding ourselves this

rift is to eat so close very close

it's love for tomorrow yeah it's

probably best and I just meet there

okay here's a wreath

[Music]

see you tomorrow

[Music]

dad

this is her home yes it is

I can't lose it you won't I might for

generations it's survived and now some

resort can just take it all away dad

maybe it's time I just face the facts

stop running from reality we don't stand

a chance against an edge stone resort

there has to be another way nothing you

need to worry about you've got a good

thing going on in New York

look just because I don't live here

anymore it doesn't mean this is at my

home

being back here

it's made me realize this will always be

my own we can't lose

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

hello is anybody here hello hi Julia is

it's Ryan here yeah but yeah I should be

in the kitchen do you mind if I go back

there

no no that's fine thanks mr. Mason bill

please call me Joe

Thanks hey how did you get past the

garden Emily smile which you do have

that's where I say ouch

no I'm good but thank you have an idea

that I think could keep edge Stone

Resorts out of Crestridge but it's a

little out there and I'm gonna need your

help to make it work I went and talked

to Eddie I looked over the contract if

we can outbid edged stone they have no

claim well I don't know about you but we

don't have enough to buy the entire

strip we don't either on our own so I

was thinking what if our families go in

on us together I'm sorry you want our

families to buy our property together

yes I do and what would we do with it

we would turn it into an upscale a

restaurant but with the the family touch

that the Masons and Crowley's bring we

could convert that second floor to some

more rooms maybe add another level take

advantage of the view I like this the

back wall goes got more amenities there

and that is brilliant this could be that

place that tourists are looking for when

they come to crest fridge and they want

that more luxurious accommodation

exactly and if they want the family

experience they can stay in one of our

original ends yeah this is a win-win

right

however okay let's say hypothetically

miraculously speaking our father set

aside this feud and they joined forces

to buy this hotel and they outbid edge

stone what's to say that hedge Stan was

not just gonna go buy up another

property and put the resort there gives

us time to implement this what is this I

got this idea from Cape Cod's newest law

that blocked one of our clients it's an

amendment to the town's zoning laws it

requires every business obtained

permit and a site plan approval from a

board made up of local business owners

that way if any corporation tries to

come in our town has a say in it oh

you're good do you think we can sell

this to our parents we have to convince

them that it's worth it I was thinking

we can bring it up tomorrow night I'll

come up with a business plan can be a

budget and I will write up a contract

that shows us an equal partnership

before you walked in here we didn't have

this much work

[Music]

hello Julia hi I know you're home with

the family but do you have a second yes

of course

is everything okay I'm calling with good

news we want to offer you the senior

associate position that is incredible

we love the work you were doing last

year and we think it would be an asset

to our c-level team thank you but your

skill set and your ability to think

outside the box solidified it for us

thank you so much I really wanted this

now we're gonna hit the ground running

with the chain store account on January

2nd so we would love it if you get back

a little earlier maybe right after

Christmas to start getting things in

order sure that shouldn't be a problem

perfect Congrats and I'll see you soon

[Music]

[Music]

like him don't you

[Music]

you look dashing yourself

so you will do this

you just wait for the right time

[Music]

- the Crestridge sent a Christmas

celebration day

during our first celebration back in

1919 locals and guests alike would

gather together for a dance and tonight

we

but before I let you dance the night

away it is time to announce our

Christmas Grand Marshal a person who

exemplifies our town's values and the

spirit of Christmas so without further

ado vid year's first Christmas thank you

so much I have lived in Crestridge my

entire life and I firmly believe there

is no better place on earth especially

to celebrate Christmas and Christmas

isn't about awards

it's about family and who you share it

with so I share this with my family the

Crawleys and of course with all of you I

Crestridge family thank you and Merry

Christmas

[Applause]

proposition for you just keep an open

crazy Scots promote you

Crawleys oh boy how'd that go

well it actually went pretty well

we're gonna do it we're gonna buy

Eddie's property together and open up

the Mason Crawley Hotel actually he

wants to call it the maybe we'll call it

the Crestridge hotel just to play it

safe I mean the business plans that you

and Julia showed us they are so strong

we just couldn't say no to say that is

grads fantastic

you know if it's it's okay I would love

to discuss maybe the possibility of me

running running this venture huh

really I mean this is the opportunity

I've been waiting for you know I know I

could take a place like that we get a

state-of-the-art destination hotel and

then also keep the traditional customer

services and the personal touches that

we've put on Ayrton

well it's funny because I think I just

said that exact same thing to temp that

you'd be the perfect person to oversee

this whole operation you did that

now it doesn't seem like the same time

seven man

how do you listen

proud of your son come here that's great

yep

I heard Julie's go back to New York huh

yeah yeah she is

it's got that you were getting close

views over that's great that's right I'm

sure we're getting some scrapes in the

future but we both care about the

community and I'm setting aside a

century-old feud is what's best for our

ends and to the town then so be it yeah

[Music]

you look lost in thought it's just so

peaceful here I don't think I really

appreciated that when I was growing up

you don't appreciate much of anything

when you're young it's one of the best

parts about growing up you grow wiser

you told me to be careful not to get my

heart broken I did that I thought I was

I always knew I would be going back that

this was the job I wanted and now it's

the thought of leaving here

our family and the Masons are going into

business together and that's all thanks

to you this Christmas you did something

that no one else in this family has ever

been able to do for generations bring us

all together
