I'll get it done, Sarah. I'm planning to leave early.

I appreciate you hosting in my place, BEX,

I have to finish Costumes by today for Louis school play.

I really hate to impose on you.

But with Mom and Dad's remodel, I just I don't know where else we could
have done it.

I am happy to take over.

I've never done the holidays and I love the challenge.

I don't rise to them like my little sis, but stop it.

You do too. But I'll be there early and help and

please call me later if you need anything.

Oh, trust me. I will need a lot of anything.

So keep your phone on by.

Hi, Rebecca morning there.

So did you talk to fancy suit guy?

No, I did not. So what's so urgent you told me to hurry.

So Vanessa came in this morning, cleaned out her office and left at 830
with all of her stuff in a box.

Wait, wait, wait. Vanessa was here at 830?

Because that's a unicorn sighting. And we all thought so which can only
mean one thing.

She quit. And now that our vice president has most likely left us,

it would seem there's a senior executive position open up we we don't know
that.

Amy, we're speculating. We are preparing so that you can put yourself out
there before Chris does.

You have way more experienced than him?

And when you get bumped up, I get bumped out.

Anyways. You don't want to be reporting to Chris, tell me about it.

He already acts like he's my boss. Exactly.

Which is why you need to talk to Jane before he gets the chance.

Yes, because clearly I am so good at putting myself out there as evidenced
by the elevator.

One of these days you will get actual words out.

You know find out panties. You guys mean? What he does?

Yeah. Okay. Well, I'm gonna go find out what's up.

Yeah were you born in a barn Chris?

Good morning to you too bad guy.

Although I don't think that's the thing that you would say in this
scenario.

Never seen an animal prop his feet up.

It'd be like a poison egg. A cool cow.

If you see one, let me know. Because that would be fun.

You're not gonna smile. preputial.

Do you know what's going on with Vanessa? Nope. I was here early this
morning

finishing that application permit for the condos on Fletcher Avenue.

You're welcome. By the way. What I was coming in to do that now.

No, no, you don't need to go any quicker.

I already had the basketball court.

We've been so she walks by she doesn't say a word.

She always laughs at my jokes.

I hope we find out what's going on soon.

Did you ever schedule for the strip mall project but I need Vanessa to
approve it.

Do you want me to look at it? Make sure it's one I've been here longer.

Yeah, yeah. As you live to remind me.

You know, I was a project manager for six years at my old firm,

as you live to remind me.

Hey, if Vanessa really is gone, you might be reporting to me anyway.

Since that's funny. Yeah.

Is that what she's like when you smile?

Year.

But as this team conference room

look at her. She's, she's a professional.

He's not here to be liked or make friends.

Do you know that's exactly what all the terrible people on The Bachelor say

self made and at the top of her game.

That's the goal right there.

Vanessa, your former team leader has been poached by Peter Kirk and
Associates, our biggest competitors.

But we're builders. We do not dwell on problems.

What about the Dorothy Johnson Foundation Account?

I know that Vanessa was trying to close that business and I just run the
bid.

I'll be taking that over.

Hey, you guys were working on something without me.

I told her about the opportunity.

So as some of you know, we've put in a bid for 12 large recreation centers
and parks around the city.

This is a game changer for us. We want this account.

Anything we can do to help

I'm happy to hear you say that.

Rebecca, of course, Rebecca, and I'm gonna take you up on it.

You're now on the holiday party.

I was thinking more along the lines of lookbook.

Maybe some stats, I make a mean presentation.

Is that what I need you for right now?

Vanessa always handle the company holiday parties.

So now it falls to the senior members of her team.

And that would be you.

And you too, Chris.

Don't you think it would be better, I would be better suited

to help you land the Jensen account because I have been there from the
beginning.

I know the ins and outs of

Brian need both of you on this.

Mal Johnson, the head of the Foundation wants to get to know us.

So I've invited him and his wife to attend.

And they're happy with our bid, but we need something to show him

why he wants to work with us over the competition.

Hence, our party becomes our presentation.

Understood. Oh, we got it.

You know we're This party is gonna make Time Square New Year's Eve

look like a meditation retreat.

See, there's a robot that was funny.

Wasn't that funny? And at least her name? Jane.

Let's just get through the holidays by hand this account.

Then I'll make my decisions about Vanessa's replacement.

You got it? Yeah. No worries.

We're on it.

Well, that went well.

You know, I know she wants us both on it.

But who better to give it their all than the Jewish girl who can bring some
fresh eyes to Christmas.

So who better to give it their all than the guy who knows how to have a
good time?

It's not about having a good time. It's about landing this account. Okay.

Why can't it be both? When the stakes are high for the company and for me?

Why do you want this promotion? You seem to enjoy coasting.

Okay. I think that you confuse my playfulness for carelessness and they are
not one of the same.

I'm the one who was here at 830 This morning when he wants to know what
we're talking about. Okay,

I had a thing all right. I'm usually here before you.

But you know, I can take the lead on this party, if you don't mind.

And I say we 50-50 And if you don't mind.

Look, I got the keys to Jane's house which is where the party is.

So we should probably get take a look.

She gave you the caves. Yeah.

She trusts

Well, I mean the outside looks pretty good.

Maybe this will be easy. Just throw some chairs.

A couple of cookies out. How so?

Because I have no plans and Vanessa's office for this party.

Well, I'm sure it's done.

It's a week away

well, there's not a light or a wreath,

or a liquor Christmas anywhere.

So this is not good.

Wait, wait a minute. When I was hired at Bennett and Swanson,

it took weeks to close my deal. People don't just get poached away in a
day.

Vanessa knew she was leaving. She's probably known for months.

So what are you saying she never made a plan.

We have to tell Jane No,

no Jane lives here. This is her house.

She knows nothing has been done, but I'm sure she thought there was a plan.

She's only real problems with your solutions.

And do you have one?

No. I will.

I will.

Okay, I lied to be able to come early to help you costumes are all wrong,

and I need to remeasure my big sister so you're not allowed to be mad at
me.

They're six that no one's gonna notice that the sleeves are a little long.

I'll notice but I'm emailing you the rest of us there's a lot of tests it's
actually very easy.

I am not used there. I can't just try something once a master

if you can, and you will and I'll be there as soon as I can.

So everything okay?

I mean, I'm not sure which is more infuriating.

Vanessa doing nothing for the party. James still not remembering my name,

or having to plan this whole thing with Chris

said opportunities show

Jane how good you are at executing a plan.

That's what a VP doesn't have that chance as long as Chris doesn't try to
outshine me which he will.

You're too good at what you do. Yeah. Yeah,

I'm still just a project manager.

Hey, I said I was sorry. It's an important work thing.

I will make it up to you. This weekend.

That promise. All right.

All right. Bye.

Oh, nothing. Here. This is for you.

Oh, I didn't get you anything.

I need you to go shopping without me. I have a thing.

But I've come up with a theme. We're going classy and upscale.

White Christmas. Sounds bland. It's elegant.

Everything very sharp in Chris. white, silver contemporary.

It'll look perfect to James home. And it shows aesthetic as builders.

I'm underwhelmed. Well, you won't be when you see it.

And I will gladly accept an apology. I cost Christmas.

How do you learned a high end client?

What is so important that I have to pick up the slack for you anyway.

It's night one of Hanukkah, and I'm hosting my family.

Just consider this part of your half since we're 5015.

All right. Well, forgive me for my ignorance,

but I don't know much about Hanukkah.

I know there's menorahs candles. Dreidel,

Dreidel, is that right?

Okay. My family takes very seriously gets pretty competitive.

You competitive? Can't imagine that.

All right. You want to know what Hanukkah is?

Let's say this cell phone has 10% battery left.

It lasts for eight days without me having to charge it.

It's a miracle. That's

so Hanukkah is about a cell phone

when I'm gonna get off the elevator, yeah.

What was that? Do you like him?

Is that his name? That's a weird name.

Okay, it's a nickname we gave him I don't even know him.

Look, we only have seven days to plan this party.

So take off seven days is an eternity.

Only if you're waiting for test results.

Get shopping. That was funny

Oh, no, I'm not ready

Hi, hi.

Sorry to stop violence myself when at the office and I was in the
neighborhood

and I have a few questions about your list.

How do you even know where I live?

Remember when you had the flu and I brought you the home the blueprints

because I'm such a good coat. Look. You know remember that anyway,

your list it reads wreath.

One you can't possibly admit that.

Why? How many weeks do we need?

It's Christmas. Rebecca you can never have enough reads

especially in the house of sizes Jane's.

Oh, no. Oh, no.

No, no, no.

Ah, these are my sisters that they'd be perfect.

These garbage. You are distracting me and I don't have time for this.

Okay, you said you had questions about the list?

Yeah, those are gonna burn

No, they're not. These are fine. They're barely cooks.

If you say so. But in my professional opinion, your flame is too high.

The list Yeah.

Okay, so do you have any different sizes and shapes

a girl in the room?

I know I don't. I ate Wow.

And it surprises me there's no really nothing about Christmas

it's kind of amazing actually. Alright, these are definitely getting brown
golden brown or burnt Brown.

The Golden ash but fast approaching burns.

Yeah, no, she's says Linda definitely had for the trash.

McLeish Sister, can you make yourself useful and flip them

and then put them on the paper towel to soak up the oil when they're done?

There we go.

Look who suddenly proficient at taking instructions from me.

It's good practice for you.

Well, I hate to remind you that we're both contenders for the promotion

but I'll continue to do so since you seem to distinguish enjoy and
forgetting.

You know what? Step aside or backup and cooking my whole life and

I've got frying to do since you know you seem to do it on your own

so the oil in the lamp burned for eight days.

Yeah, yeah. As the Jews were rebuilding their temple.

Will this give enough oil to last a month you don't skip?

Honor the oil, so to speak.

Nobody loses weight during Hanukkah, and I haven't even explained the
guilt.

Now that I understand I had an ex girlfriend who turned guilt into an art
form guilt.

It's chocolate. Well, it's even better.

It's my kind of holiday. Hello,

I'm here. Okay, all right.

My sister is here now so you you can go now.

doggie bag. At least I'm so sorry I'm late.

Okay, I'm here put me to work.

Is that in your kitchen? Ah, see soup guy.

What does he look like a fancy suit guy?

I don't know. He's got an apron on. That's Chris some work the cubicle man.

I thought he was awful.

Yes. Cooking in your kitchen and why did you never mention you so?

Long story? No cute.

No, that is not the word I would use to describe him.

I'm so sorry. We're late.

Yeah, who is that? Man cooking in your kitchen?

Long story, but it's Chris from work.

That is the extent of my knowledge.

Awful, Chris.

I like it though. No, it's been a while since I've been and just because
your sister got married.

There's no reason for you to just like on a date.

Okay, it's not a date. It's just we had an important work thing to discuss

a smoke alarm went off but he's leaving. That's that's the that's the story
leave.

He can't leave without feeling

at all

you guys,

I would love

you understanding

Oh no, I'm gonna stay.

Absolutely. I'm not missing this.

This is amazing. I slaved away all day coming up cooking,

I am standing.

I like to maintain a sense of professionalism.

So whatever you learn here, whatever you find out about me,

it just it stays here. Okay?

This is interesting isn't like the words of somebody

who has a secret or an embarrassing past,

which is an untrained disclaimer.

It's not like that.

Alright, we just we all put on two suits in the morning.

The actual clothing and the proverbial line.

I would like my proverbial suit to be that of a continent professional.

Okay, suit yourself.

Your secret's safe with me.

Is Andre, I've got Lapkus

I'm very impressed.

Chris, you should join us tomorrow night at seven cats for sure. Yeah,

I just finished the costume today.

So we're all good for tomorrow night.

You know, I think Chris probably already has plans.

Right? Yeah, I have a there's a game Islanders.

I'm recording it. Oh, watch together after the dreidel tournament.

You spend the next seven nights with us?

We're gonna show you how to Hopkins to Hanukkah right?

I can't wait

Oh, Kirby

here's the deal.

Boy, he's gonna try to be sneaky but he's not he's gonna drive past me try
to dunk it.

He's not wrong. But we're not gonna let him because he got my defense
around me.

Don't let him steal you do that.

Oh, guys, good game.

It's over. I gotta go to work.

What?

Oh?

What is Christmas break?

What about the gingerbread houses?

I can make one. We'll set it up Kirby.

Were going through the holidays. Big project thing.

You sound really excited.

We do what we gotta do to get ahead, right?

No, not if you're not happy.

You're not happy. You're face.

My face is a liar.

I like my job.

It's a good job. And if everything goes like I'm hoping

I'll be able to build more places like this and

what could be better than that?

All right, my friend.

Don't eat the merchandise Hey,

I Sorry I'm late.

You're not the only one with other things to do.

I got some priorities basketball.

Well, they're predictable priorities,

but I said I'd be here 10

It's 1019. Something else came up.

I see finished the shopping.

Most of it since someone is so easily distracted.

Your family invited me stay last night. I wasn't gonna be rude.

Quick. We is Jane home.

No. She's the way she had a business UC San Francisco.

How do you know that? Because she called me.

Jim called you personally.

She likes me. Hey, I keep telling

you could learn a thing or two from me?

Oh, wait, what did she say? Exactly?

Chris, what did you say?

Thanks for helping out here.

Well, I have a lot invested in you getting that promotion.

My reasons are very selfish.

Why don't we start by hanging these lights while Chris

and one of the interns goes get the trees

know what you need to go with him?

You can't give him the opportunity to take some credit for anything,
Rebecca.

This is worth. I mean, that might be a little dramatic.

But you're not wrong.

I was just looking forward to a break from him.

Well take a break and seven days after the drop is yours.

If she makes her decision, then we're gonna go get some trees.

We back in an hour. So hold up,

Chris, I'm coming with you.

Well, we should both be involved in picking the trees.

Especially the main one.

The tree I think I got it. It's the centerpiece of the room.

It should be a committee decision.

Okay. Okay. Well, you can stay here and help Amy.

Do whatever Amy's doing and Rebecca is going to come with me.

Lucky me. So we have to power through.

We're going to finish early enough for the Hoffman family dreidel off.

You're not really coming. Are you kidding me with Mrs. For the world where
your family started up?

In fact, I've already canceled on a very important thing.

This Hanukkah celebration. girlfriend.

Oh, why do you ask you jealous?

Are you kidding? Jealous?

Let's just say it's a very important person in my life.

Now there has been all secretive.

Maybe you shouldn't cancel your plans. Wouldn't want to upset her.

No, that's not gonna work. I'm coming.

Because pretty intense. My family. Thank you for watching

you attempt to hold on to your title.

I can handle it. See, I knew all about it.

Your dad told me that you've won year after year.

I don't miss in life, or in work.

My family always prefer to get our tree from a tree farm.

I've ever picked out a Christmas tree before.

I mean, I've helped friends decorate but where do you even start?

They all have the same? Hold on a minute.

Are you saying that this is a task that you're not fully equipped for?

No, that's not what I'm saying.

Okay, yes, it is. Just how about you take the lead but we both decide,

okay, okay. Okay.

Ask me.

Ask you what?

For my help. It will be a first and

I want to hear you say it.

Chris? Yes, Rebecca, could you please kindly explain to me

how one would pick out the perfect Christmas tree?

I would love nothing more.

How did that feel for you? Because I really liked it.

So you got your for your pine, your spruce Cypress.

But really, it's just a matter what catches your eye.

What we're after is a commanding tree,

I would think for the entryway because

it's going to be the first thing that the guests see.

How do you know so much about Christmas trees?

I used to work on a Christmas tree lot when I was a teenager

carrying them loading them into cars.

And so how does one make the leap

from Christmas tree connoisseur to property development?

You really want to know?

Sure, yeah. Well, I mean, we've been working together in the same cubicle
for a year

and this is actually the first time you've ever asked me about myself.

No, it isn't. Yeah, it is.

In college, I was studying to be an architect.

And then I changed for us to business manager because I'm pretty active guy
and

being on a job site was a lot more appealing than being stuck behind a desk
all day

and bounced around from firm to firm, smaller firms, and

then landed here eight years ago and been here ever since.

So I guess when you find your thing,

your place you stay put.

This is my place. It's a good job.

pays well. You don't love it.

I like it.

So why would you even want this promotion?

The job comes a lot of pressure

building youth centers for the Johnson Foundation.

I haven't been this excited about a project in a long time.

Why do you want it so badly?

I love watching an open space become a building.

You put all the pieces in place and then suddenly

it's a home For people to live in

or, or a store, that's someone's livelihood,

making something out of nothing.

So, despite all my efforts,

I still can't seem to make the leap to the next level.

Well, I might change with this party.

I think we just found our Christmas tree may I present to you,

Douglas fir.

You named it?

Seriously.

You don't know anything about Christmas trees.

Got so much to teach you.

So I'm thinking we make this a true white Christmas party

where everyone wears whites.

I can compose an email informing our guests.

Oh, I found the most amazing string trio online.

They play every Christmas song and they'll wear white too.

I'll send you the link. What?

Sounds property equity?

It's elegant.

I guess I'm just more of a jeans and sneakers kind of guy.

Well, it's not about you. And it's not about me.

It's about making an impression. Yeah, but you got to make the right
impression.

It is the right impression. I know what I'm doing.

But you were right about this tree.

Of what I was what?

I'm not saying. You were right.

There are no droopy ornaments here.

So well done.

I see what you're doing. Oh, are you serious?

What's wrong? Sure. Cemeteries all off.

Nice. Symmetry is just fine. Look,

there's a whole giant hole. Hold it like this.

You gotta step back a little bit.

You got to take a look at the whole tree, not just your part.

It's It's called being a team.

Excuse me. I know how to be a team.

But I do have to leave in a little bit.

Because I promised my sister I'd help her set up for tonight.

All right. I'll see you there.

Well, unless you decided not to come.

There knew I'd be able to go.

By night eight I will be off book.

Right.

Before the game begins, everyone chose him their charity.

Oh, hang on a second. I feel woefully unprepared. I don't know what you're
talking about.

Oh, well, clearly our daughter's not properly prepped you for a Hoffman.

It's only our biggest tradition.

Okay. I'm sorry. It was a busy day.

We only do gifts on the first night we pick one night to volunteer and we
donate the other six.

Yeah, some of our best memories over the years have been while
volunteering.

So now we're keeping the tradition going with our kids.

Christmas. My family. Hanukkah was shares.

Kids are getting traditions all over the map.

I love it. Okay, so charities. Yeah,

I gotta do Toys for Tots. My office is having a drive nice.

I'm thinking American humanity and Alzheimer's research.

What about the Dorothy Jensen foundation Youth Center in Campbell Park.

Not familiar with? Well, they have a mentorship program for kids

who are looking for positive role models and

they need a few extra hands around the holiday seasons.

No, you're not the only one who's done his research to get this account.

I didn't say was

I think that one night this week, the Hoffman family volunteers

at the Youth Center at Campbell bar.

Sounds like a great idea. Thank you for the suggestion. Chris.

It just can't be the same night as Louis show.

I know you're really busy with this party. But you're coming right?

Yeah, of course. I'm not gonna miss my little button. reformer.

Exciting. Okay. All right currency.

Think of it as Vegas chips are only more valuable because you can eat it
after Yes,

I was promised chocolate.

You're ready for this? Oh, I'm I'm ready for this.

The question is guys, are you ready to see your sister streak end?

I can't believe you one.

You'll get over it. I can't believe how much.

I really like your family.

Then, yeah, I've always wished to have a big loud family.

What's crazy traditions? Our traditions aren't crazy.

They're unique. They're great.

They're great.

I have a family.

I think they're gonna be a little on the crazy side.

I don't doubt that for a second.

I mean, he must have had some traditions grown up, right?

Yeah, my dad was around with it.

He died when I was nine.

I'm so sorry.

Yes, my mom and I, you know, we celebrate,

but it's the traditions which is simpler.

We do cook together a lot.

That's how you managed to make a man Latka

robot of your sisters, weren't they? Oh,

I have to admit I really enjoyed how much better they were

the Nurse. Yes.

You You're,

you're different person around your family.

At work, perception is reality.

Want to be the boss and day you need to be like the boss now

or some people say just be yourself.

I am myself.

Just tamer version

of the record. I like this Rebecca.

A lot better than like, okay.

Okay.

And, and while I'm in you know,

you can return a compliment.

I'm fun.

You are not as insufferable as I thought.

This is a start. Yes, it is.

Hang on a second.

Phones right.

Oh, Hi, Jane. You're on speaker.

I'm here with Rebecca. Hi, Jane.

I'm confused. The decorations are beautiful.

Yes. But what does it say about us?

I want Mel to walk in here and say these are my people. Yes,

yes. Yes, of course.

That that is just phase one.

Right. James? Phase one of many. Yes.

Wait until you see phase two.

It'll it'll overwhelm you,

but not in like a Oh no.

I'm so overwhelmed. Like like, amazing. Overwhelming.

Okay, fair enough.

I'm counting on you.

Told me what to expect a lot from us.

Don't make me a liar. No, never 100% tonight.

Why at all white?

Okay, it was bad.

It was bad.

So I need to go over these condo plans with the architect.

The client had a few changes. Then I'm heading to Jane's house.

She isn't very happy. What's wrong with that?

It appears to be having an identity crisis.

It doesn't properly represent who we are at Bennett and Swanson.

Now she tells us this after we've already spent our entire decorating
budget.

Maybe we can find some new way to make it pop.

Krishna are going to have to how's that going?

It's fine. Except he didn't take great pride in breaking my winning streak.

Your dreidel streak. Yes, yes.

But don't worry. I will get it back somehow.

You know what? What am I but you have bigger victories disease.

And you're really well then I owe you a lot.

Oh, hey,

did you say latte? Because I'm heading down there.

I can I could pick one up for you.

Oh, helping out the competition.

No, please. I need you caffeinated.

We have so much work to do. I know.

I know. But I'm gonna come with you because we are getting coffees for the
whole team.

Because we need them caffeinated to just give me five minutes.

Five minutes. All the time.

I'll be quick. I just have to call the architect again.

One wants a fancy suit guy.

Why don't you find out what his real name is?

What do you do?

You know, we'd love to have you.

Oh, my gosh.

All right. I'm so sorry. I clearly haven't had my coffee yet.

Don't worry about it. You're my elevator mate.

Rebecca. Spencer. It's nice to officially meet you.

Yes, it is. It's nice. I mean, it's nice.

Nice to meet you.

My name is Chris. Rebecca and I work together.

You work on the fifth floor right? Yeah,

I do. I'm a real estate attorney at Bellbrook law.

We're been in Swansea you're a couple floors above you.

Like Jane Bennett is a client of ours actually.

In fact, it took my boss almost four years according her

after we moved him Have the building to get her business.

She's a She's a tough one to win.

Yeah, yeah, she is for sure.

To order I'm gonna do that.

So are you going to James annual Christmas party?

I hear is quite the event. I just joined our team.

This was my first time snagging an invoice.

Mine too. I've only been with the company since January.

And actually we're planning it he and I not that.

I need his help. I just we were assigned the task together by Jane.

Well, no, it's impressive.

walking forward to it even more now

catching on the elevator and for sure.

Are you Dorothy Johnson Foundation? What do you stand for?

You know you're not going to find anything about them that we don't already
know.

He's a philanthropist. He's a giver. He loved his mother.

How does that translate to a party?

Don't focus on him focus on us.

Us. Swanson,

right. Yeah, no.

New Man. But we have to hurry.

I've got my nephew's show tonight.

Oh, you know what I got something to him in a very present outside of work
this week.

And I'm catching some flack for it.

So you will be happy to know that I will not be able to make it to your
nephew's holiday show.

Well, a break from you for the night doesn't sound terrible.

And I'd rather not be here when Jane gets home either.

I just can't seem to say the right thing around her

you don't have a theory about that.

Do you now I imagine you're gonna share this theory whether I want to hear
it or not.

You imagine correctly.

So hanging out with you and your family this week?

Got some insight

and here I thought you didn't know who I am.

I figured well then please Chris, tell me who I am.

This is information I need

you ready for this?

When you want something you really want something you clam up and

I think it's because you're pretending to be something that you're not

like at work with Jana with fancy suit guy

and maybe even this party

there's this vision I always had for my life

Sarah's achieved at all and and I'm just here

what's the vision?

I guess I always just thought that someday I'm going to live this
extraordinary life and

I almost achieved it at my last company and then they went under and

I'm so

I'm just I'm so ready for my turn that when the stakes get high

I think I just I lose myself.

You say the perception is reality.

If people could see the person that you are

when you're around your family

it's easy around them

the family loves you flaws and all

Rebecca these flaws are in your head

I'm sorry your sister she's not that perfect.

Hey, you can't say bad things about my sister

only I can say bad things about my sister

when I mean your sisters great but so are you when you're comfortable

and if you can bring that energy that element into other aspects of your
life.

gangbusters

Okay, I'll just bring my family to work with me

every day that missing here Well, I'm

what I'm not following

family we need to bring that into the party.

Okay, I'm still totally lost which means we need to rethink everything
we've already done here

getting rid of the wife because then I can get behind

yes hi class and elegant is not the reality of the Jensen foundation.

But this is we need to run it by Jane

totally confused

added to all the boys and girls of the world always remembered we nice.

You won't get on the right lists.

Don't get sad for me

wonder what they're gonna do with this set of the show's over?

Break? downside for

Shane is here, she's put her stuff in her office.

Are you ready? Yes. All right.

All right. Okay. So when we present I think you should take the lead.

Yes, yes, we need to be strong and convincing.

And I just don't think she sees me that way.

But we also need to show a united front so that she gives us more money.

United, are you worried that I'm gonna throw you under the bus?

Because I was considering that I changed.

This looks good. Good morning.

client for the flex revenue condos left me a message.

Do you know what it's about before I call them back? Their designs have
been approved?

No more changes?

No, no, we're all signed off.

And we're moving into the planning stage. I did tell them about Vanessa.

But I also told them that Rebecca and I will be taking point.

As long as everybody's happy. Yes,

I think they are. Good.

You have me for 10 minutes until the direct reports meeting.

Okay, great. Well, I think Chris is going

what I'm going to do is I'm going to let Rebecca tell you her idea.

Because it is all her idea. I wish I could take partial credit for it,

but I can't notice you now.

Okay.

Okay, good. Yes. Okay. Okay.

So one thing we know is that the Dorothy Jensen Foundation is a family run
entity.

Every officer of that organization is a Jensen.

True enough.

So right now it's Hanukkah.

And one thing that's clear spending this week with my family.

That's what makes the holidays so special.

No matter how you celebrate family.

We are our best selves when we're with them.

So the perfect way to show Mel Jensen what we stand for at Bennett and
Swanson

is to throw a traditional family Christmas party

like a holiday storybook come to life.

It'll still be a gala. It's just one that the whole family can enjoy
together.

Let's show the Jensen foundation that we value the same things they do.

Because it's the true money

that'd be good

because you are awesome.

Hello again, now we really ought to stop these accidental elevator
meetings,

and Shaffer have an intentional one.

I mean, it makes up

could I steal your way for 10 minutes for a coffee?

Before you go wherever it is? You're going?

Well, actually, I was just heading to get a coffee myself.

My timing is impeccable.

For me. It was sort

of I have only about six minutes before my colleague meets me down there.

We just have so much to do for Jane's party and very little time.

Well, I'm a lawyer, I can talk fast.

Well, then.

So after Tulane, I went to UC Berkeley for law school.

Which means in my life, I've actually lived in six different states.

I've only ever lived here. I mean, it's It's nice though.

I have my family nearby and I get to watch my niece and nephew grow up.

I hate to say it I don't think I've seen my nephew in person since his
baptism.

They're up in Albany and we're also busy these days.

How old is he? Eight. That's a long time.

I couldn't imagine not seeing my family for seven years.

So what about you, you don't tell me your story.

I'm doing all the talking here.

Sort of an occupational hazard.

Well, I'm actually out of time.

How about already check then.

What about maybe you give me your number and

we can set up something a little more definitive.

You bet

See you soon

have a good day

All right, well, let me ask you this on a scale of one to perfect.

Where would you rank and

it was hard to tell in just a few minutes, but seems nice.

I didn't really talk too long either, but I guess I don't know.

I give him a to what?

I'm just kidding like a solid eight with with options for upgrade.

Cool.

Yeah. To be continued can you take down all the trees in the living room?

We're gonna set up the tables in there.

Amy, are you all good in here?

Yeah, great. Yeah. Okay.

All right. I am gonna go clear some space in that room for Santos village.

You're building Santos village. You really are making changes?

No, no, we're borrowing the set from My nephew's holiday performance.

It's adorable. This is so perfect, Rebecca.

No, she isn't back. Oh, I don't know.

I don't know my go to Chris. He's not who I thought he was just one sec.

Hey, so I'm sorry.

I'm going to cancel on my family tonight.

They can volunteer without us. Now. There's just there's too much to do
here.

You have to go. This is your family's tradition.

All right. All honesty. I heard a holiday decorating service.

related. Don't be mad. Don't be mad.

Executive Decision. We're not gonna get this done without somebody's help.

So that's a really good idea. I didn't know that was a thing.

I guess Hanukkah decorations are a little less elaborate.

I'm sure these people could go to del Monica.

Maybe next year. Listen, Chris, come on.

You. You have to come tonight. This whole thing was your idea. Yeah,

no, I'll make it if I can. I will try but you have to go.

This is your family's tradition.

Sanchez village has arrived. completely perfect.

Okay, okay. You guys, if you can just bring it back here to the family
room.

And then if you could please show us how to put it all back together again.

It's getting late. Do you need to get going?

Yes. Yes. Thank you for covering.

Well, it looks much better in here. Don't you think?

Oh my gosh, the kids are gonna love it.

You know? It's funny. It's reminds me when I was younger.

There's the three of us. That means something.

One thing's for sure. One of us gonna get that promotion.

I think so to see you later.

I will try.

Doing this. We're gonna Hi.

We're just waiting on Daphne, the director to give us our marching orders.

So sorry for the delay. Hi, Daphne.

Hey, I'm here right? Better late than never mind you're forgiven.

I want you to meet somebody

Oh, well, you know invest in

I am in the Hoffman family traditions.

You mean this guy? I have a mentor.

Do you mind putting me down? It's funny.

I thought I did. Kirby. I would like you to meet Rebecca.

Rebecca. This is Kirby. Hi, Rebecca.

You want a hot chocolate? Yes, please.

Okay, thank you

when the ground is done

when I look back,

so you're 11 that makes you a fifth grader.

Yep. And Chris She's helping me with my son's project

regarding bacteria and petri dishes.

It's that sounds kind of gross, but cool.

That's kind of cool.

Oh, I just flew in from the North Pole.

I believe there's a gift in this Sacher

each and every one of you serve God everybody got around it, Kirby.

Don't let this guy put you to work again.

Yeah to your kid. Thanks for showing.

Oh no, I have a job to do here.

Go go go go go. Here.

Mom doesn't need me at the pizza station.

I come over to see if you need me.

Okay.

I haven't skated in a while so I might be shaky.

Lucky for you. I am not shaking.

I tell the kids that I coach.

Lean on your teammates.

Thank you Mr. Maroni.

My dad sorry,

you're right. Yeah.

So how long have you been a mentor?

Kirby is my second

my first move to Ohio

with his grandparents who are still in contact all the time.

I had no idea you have this secret life?

I don't advertise it. I mean, it's for me.

Kirby. Yeah, fair enough.

What made you want to start?

When I was a kid, my mom, she worked all the time.

Single parent. She was around she had to make ends meet.

And so a place like this gave me a place where I felt like I belonged.

My mentor. Still a part of my life is gonna stand up for me my wedding
Sunday.

Everyone can I have your attention, please.

Thank you. A very special guests has dropped in for our event,

our generous benefactor, Mr. Mel Jensen of the Dorothy Johnson Foundation.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you so much for that warm welcome.

What would a beautiful occasion this is

haven't they done a fantastic job a big hand for everyone.

Now, my mother raised me alone.

And she cleaned houses to make ends meet.

She always felt it was very important that I have a strong role model in my
life.

So after she became self made when she invented the supermarket,

when she realized that she got Lightning in a Bottle.

And because of that, she felt a great responsibility to give back.

And that is exactly what this foundation is going to do.

In every park in this city, in her name.

And I know looking out at you all here tonight.

She would just be so proud.

Thank you.

I'm gonna go talk to you. Wait, I'm gonna I'm gonna go to

I'm not gonna let you outshine me.

Are you sure you're not going to clam up? Isn't that the thing that you do?
Oh, no,

you awoke a sleeping giant in the conference room the other day.

This lady, she's ready to show you how it's done.

I knew I should have presented to Jane myself.

Why am I such a nice?

Wait for me. Wait for me.

Okay, thanks.

Let's see Jensen. Hi. Hi.

I'm Rebecca Hoffman. And this is Chris Coulter from Bennett and Swanson.

Ah, Jane Bennett, send you actually

no, no, I'm here with my entire family.

We're all here volunteering.

It's Hanukkah tradition we have in our family.

Terrific. It's important to give back especially during the holidays.

We may celebrate differently, but we're all in this together.

Right? Yes.

And I'm wondering your mentors, or how did you hear about our program?

Well, we actually have very similar stories, you and

I'm being the only child single mother finding kindness

and guidance in a big brother type thing, you know, very similar indeed.

And I actually have a few suggestions for the centers that you're building.

For example, if you put adjustable hoops in the basketball courts for the
littles,

I think you would go a long way.

You know, a coach. I'll look into that.

And I have also noticed that half of your tennis courts are never ever
used.

So if you want to take out a few of those and put in a rank, the roller
hockey,

I know there's more than enough interest for a lead.

Very lucky. I'll have to look into that as well.

What you're doing means so much and it would be our honor at Bennett and
Swanson

to help execute your plans to build more facilities.

You're already in the running

you don't need to sell me so hard.

I'll see you two chains party.

Yes, for certain.

For certain is that even the same

Wow, I totally oversold you.

I just told the man that his late mother's passion project needs
improvement.

Now you gave a suggestion.

Every good leader is open to suggestions.

I don't know how open he was.

I know. All right.

We just keep doing what we're doing.

And we let the party speak for itself

that maybe we should keep our mouth shut for now.

Yeah, that's your.

Luck, who's the earlybird? Today?

A couple points up on the board for me. Nope.

I went by the office earlier to submit the strip mall schedule,

which I finished last night because this party is not the only thing on my
list.

Well, then I stand corrected and award yourself nine points.

Thank you very much. Oh, here, this was on your desk

from my mom, this is how we do Christmas

is pretty different from your family celebrations.

My mom's a nurse and she works over Christmas.

This little guy is fixed.

So in a couple of days, we'll go back

to only having one job

sleeping and expect to

well, you know what, because this this promotion,

the stress level it rises exponentially.

So stress I would welcome

so I cannot find a single bakery

willing to make 300 cookies on such short notice.

Cross one thing off. Three more pop up.

That's That's all right. I'll handle it.

Amy. Thanks.

What have you done? Oh, no.

Well, I just got a phone call from Mel Jensen.

Oh, sure. So sorry. It was just while you pause.

I think he said he met you. You're spectacular.

And he's really looking forward to this party.

That's yeah.

We've We've volunteered to help out at the Youth Center,

both of us,

above and beyond.

That's how you land an account.

I may not have to wait till after the start of the year

to fill that VP position after all.

Thank you, Jane.

Thank you, Jane.

And that is how you I am starving.

Do you want to go get dinner?

Are you kidding? You may have time to eat but I'm no slacker

and I have to go home and bake 300 cookies for the cookie decorating.

Hold on a second. That's what you meant when you said you to handle it.

Yeah, what did you think I meant?

You had some secret bakery stash in your back pocket.

You were going to call them with an emergency order.

Think about how plausible that sounds for just a second.

Okay, that's fair enough. So hold on.

No, I'm gonna help you because you cannot bake 300 cookies by yourself.

You can't if you don't sleep, which seems to be my MO lately.

Want to so I meant I'm gonna help you.

We're in this together. Right?

Right. Yeah,

let's go.

So, Mr. Nice suit.

I believe his given name is fancy suit guy, right.

Also goes by Spencer.

By mistake. So, Spencer.

Did he ask you to be his date to the party?

What? We're bringing dates to the party.

I mean, my family's coming in.

It's a family event, but I didn't know that.

I'm bringing somebody

All right.

Ready for the next batch.

Hold on a second. What are you see?

You used to Dinosaur cookie cutter for Christmas cookies.

You can decorate a dinosaur cookie, you know, they're still delicious.

No, you're not for me. You know?

Reindeer, snowmen, snowflakes.

Kids love dinosaurs. Everybody loves dinosaurs.

Not a Christmas time.

Why not? Oh, you're right.

I forgot the story about Santa Claus

and His flying velociraptors

cancel the party just ruined Christmas.

Oh, hey.

In the interest of saving time, I ordered you a latte.

If we only have six minutes

well Actually,

today I have about 15

Hey, that's like an eternity for us.

Yeah. So holidays coming up.

We stay in town.

Yeah, I'm one of the few in the office

Christmas week that my family is here.

What about you? Well, you know, you want to make partner

at my firm by the time you're 40 you gotta sacrifice a few holidays.

So, what do you do on Christmas?

Work? Usually, sometimes I'll go to a friend's or

you know, maybe take out Chinese food.

That's what we do.

Like family. Yeah.

Thank goodness they're open

is it ever hard for you being away from them?

You know, um, my list of priorities holidays are kind of low.

Maybe they'll bump up once I make partner

I don't know. I find that in the madness of of my life.

It's it's the traditions and the time spent with them that grounds me.

I need it. Yeah, I have those moments for my parents.

But it's been a while

show me again.

Up. Tap.

Yes. Yes.

I think it's almost time to live anymore.

Wow, look at that. You're the one reminding me to like the castle.

Is okay if I make the match?

Yeah thank you girl

she knew that Siva knew.

Sure.

Thanks, Kirby and these are the ones we chose this morning,

Jay.

What are you doing here?

I work here.

I thought you'd be at the house finishing up while Chris was having his
meeting

with Mel Jensen at the Youth Center.

Christmas meeting with Mel Jensen.

Well had some ideas he wanted to discuss about his youth centers.

I take it as a good time.

Yeah, yes. It's great. It's great.

Chris can tell me.

It just came up.

Hello. Hey, sorry.

I didn't mean to sneak up on you. We just had a meeting with Jane.

No, it's fine. It's fine. Hi. Hi.

Look, I gotta get back to the office. But I wanted to ask you.

I know you're gonna be busy working at the party,

but maybe you could save it

as for me? Sure.

I'm just saying you got to play the curb.

What am I always telling you guys on the man in the ball?

Right? You got to try to stay one step ahead.

We're gonna work on practice this week.

Hi, Rebecca. Hi.

Hi, Rebecca. Hi. Making ornaments for the party.

We sure are putting our pictures on for our parents and look at this one
for you.

What are you doing here?

That was my question for you.

You heard about the meeting.

And I thought we were on a level playing field team.

We are the Jane's he's called me early this morning.

They'll want to talk about my ideas for centers and I was come here to play
basketball anyway,

so I told him again what I thought he needed.

Hey, I'm not hiding anything from you.

Weren't you?

I was gonna tell you as soon as I saw you,

Rebecca, steal anybody's promotion.

You believe me right?

You sure you're sure?

Because we had goodie bags. We gotta go

I'm sure I'm sure

all right, well, we go

go. I got this

one more day.

Day off.

I never take a day off.

I know you need to.

And I promise Kirby and the rest of the team that I teach a basketball
clinic

the week of school they're off a winter break so I'm taking a week off

promotion or not.

You see seem really happy when you're with this kid.

I am

I wish that my landlord would accept happiness

as a payment for my rent but he doesn't matter.

Plus a work hard. good at my job.

I paid my dues be nice to see the fruits of my labor.

always moving forward

what if you're moving forward into the wrong thing?

Are you trying to scare the competition or the running?

Not at all.

No, I think he'd make a great VP.

I mean, he pushed me out of my comfort zone.

That's what a leader does.

I just brought to light on I already saw

I'm sorry.

If I came in with a bit of a chip on my shoulder.

And I'm sorry about level two in your face

on my desk every

night when you're just in time for

you to report to me or use your report to me

i this week

Yes, I know, I know.

This week you have found me insufferable.

I know.

Not at all.

Was

it didn't feel like kinda without you.

So we decided to bring it to you.

Thank you

Yeah.

All right. Let's get this buddy.

We got Hey, kiddo, how are you?

You like what? No.

Chris cubicle Chris.

We work together.

And we're up for the same promotion.

There's there's no way.

Look, success is great.

But it's so much better when you have someone to share the ups and downs
with

Don't forget about that part of your life.

I know. I know. And maybe after this party is done,

I'll make some time for my love life but I've worked too hard

to let anything or anyone get in the way of this promotion

my times.

So Chris and I are never going to happen.

Come on. This doesn't mean you're talking to and

I don't believe you.

Okay.

Aside from all the other complications,

I think he has a girlfriend.

He's bringing a date to the party

that was great.

Oh, okay. So we'll keep those desserts refrigerated until it's time to put
them out

and have cleared some space in the fridge.

The Throne has arrived

fix for the man of the hour.

There's a space right in front of Sanders village for it.

Tell me again why we're starting so early. It's 3pm

it's a family event James

kids remember right?

Kids do have a schedule of their own they'll have we oversold?

will melt Jensen respond to this.

How can he knows not only are we putting on a great party

but at Bennett and Swanson we are all All of the things

that we're portraying tonight she's right.

I mean, you know that J Party is gonna be great.

Thank you for everything.

I know we don't say it often enough, but I think a lot.

Why don't you go get dressed? We've got everything covered down here.

Rebecca you need to change to so you can use the guest suite

you okay here for a little bit?

Yeah, I'm just I'm waiting for my guests to arrive.

Okay

you and Chris have done such a great job.

I swear I saw James smile. I've worked here for five years.

And I'm not kidding. That was the first time yeah,

we made a pretty great team made.

Party's over after tonight.

We're still in the same team at work.

But I've seen the way you two are with each other.

We're friends. I know.

It sounds weird, since we shared a cubicle for a year and didn't exactly
get along.

But we know I always thought he was kind of funny.

He is. smart, resourceful.

And there's no one that I would have rather this promotion to.

You should see your face when you talk about him

it's a little bit glowy

it's it's sweat.

I've been I've been running around all morning

sure

I want this promotion so bad.

But I don't want him to lose so that I can win.

Is that weird? No.

slough stop it.

It's friendship.

A few say so.

Alright, I'm coming outside to get you

okay

Wow My guest has arrived

Rebecca

Rebecca? Yes.

Mel Jensen has just arrived with his grandchildren for them.

I don't know what to do with grandchildren.

I do. I'm sorry, Spencer.

Will you excuse me?

Of course but I'll see you later.

Sure.

Wow.

Beautiful you

I'm so glad you could make it.

There's so much fun to be had you guys who wants cookies.

I told you something. But there's cookie decorating in the other room.

family must be so proud.

Speaking of which.

So many kids, you're going to help me out? Right?

I'm right by your side, Jane every step of the way.

Well, this is wonderful.

They love it.

You saved me a trip to the mall.

Happy to be of service and done an amazing job.

Thank you. We really felt that family is the spirit of the holidays,

no matter how you celebrate.

And we consider our clients family.

And our employees to at the very core of it is our staff

who defines who we are.

I've always felt the same way as well.

Sorry to interrupt everybody. But if you gather in the living room,

I have an announcement that I'd like to make.

What's going on? I have no idea.

So first off,

I just wanted to welcome all our friends or relatives

or clients and fellow employees.

But since tonight is a holiday party, not everybody celebrates Christmas.

I also just wanted to celebrate another holiday.

That's happening tonight. Hey, Kirby.

Where's Kirby? Here he comes out everybody.

I want you to meet Kirby. He's my little brother and

the Dorothy Jensen mentorship program.

All right. So tonight happens to be the last night of Hanukkah and

I was hoping that Rebecca Hoffman and her family would recite the Hanukkah
prayer for us

if that would be all right

stay with us ah

your team is quite something Jane.

So Will those to be handling my account will be you

I can't think of a better company to take on this new test for the Jensen
Foundation.

We will give you our

I still haven't filled my VP position yet though.

And waiting to see whether one of my senior project managers would rise to
the top.

But

it won't have since

you haven't decided yet.

I have an idea I'd like to run my

so you and your partner in crime over there.

I'm guessing that's not quite the right term here to

I'm sorry, Spencer. I really didn't see this coming.

That's how it happens sometimes.

It just wouldn't be fair for me to pursue anything with you.

Again.

Ever find yourself dating a lawyer?

You know where to find me? Yes.

I predict you'll be a partner by summer.

Happy Hanukkah.

Thank you so

how was your day?

You said you thought that I brought a girl.

And you're jealous.

Jealous? Yeah. Jealous.

You're gonna read it. You're going I need

both of you to come to my study.

Jane, you should just give the promotion to Chris.

He has been here longer.

And he puts so much of himself in everything he does.

Everybody responds to that

Rebecca has much more experience than I do in this position.

This entire thing was her idea.

She's the reason why we're able to close this account.

No, Chris is a natural leader.

So we should stop.

Okay, okay.

Mr. Jansen? No, please.

So thanks for the two of you, as well as Jane stellar reputation.

I have chosen Benin Swanson to build the first 12 youth centers from my
mother's Foundation.

We will not shut you down.

Now, I believe that

and I have made a decision on the VP position.

I believe that Rebecca would be best in that role at Bennett sponsors.

Decision I totally understand however.

You like my youth center.

Love your youth centers. Yes, they are my favorite place.

So I was going to hire a VP to oversee this new enterprise.

But then I got to thinking why not get somebody from the developer side?

who already knows my center inside now.

He means you Chris. Really,

really. And this is just the beginning.

Eventually I want to center in every park in the city.

So if you will accept. We can work out the details later.

I accept I absolutely accept

The same goes for you, Rebecca I

also absolutely okay,

well great. Now that we've done that, I'm gonna go into my party.

Congratulations to both of you

enjoy her party too.

And I look forward to working with both of you

congratulations, I mean that is the scenario that everything consider

we both got promoted I guess so.

We're perfect.

I'm so happy for you.

I'm not happy for you

I wouldn't have happened without you.

You

You helped me find the confidence to be myself

for that I am so grateful

I just summarize

saw an extraordinary person

you you gave me the gift of hanging out with family all week.

Crazy traditions are crazy Nick

you're welcome to the show.

Even if you did ruin my winning streak

my fancy suit guy

He's everything I ever thought I wanted

before I knew what I wanted

do you want to create conditions with you?

The crazier the better.

I would love nothing.

Because I already won.

Thank you for watching Hallmark channel's countdown to Christmas,

Your most Beloved holiday tradition on television.

Celebrating 10 years as America's favorite holiday destination.
