Your Honor.

Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury...

as the evidence shows,

my client is not only
wrongly accused,

but is a victim of corruption

at the highest level.

[lawyer] Objection.

Your Honor, there is no evidence

that any other entities

were involved in this case.

The defense

is purposely attempting
to mislead the court.

You're on thin ice, Counselor.

My apologies, Your Honor.

Opposing counsel is correct.

We couldn't find any proof

that my client was framed.

Until we searched his office.

[door opens]

Your Honor,
my client is innocent.

This case is dismissed,

and all charges are dropped.

My name is cleared

and I'll be home
in time for Christmas.

Thank you, Clint.

You're welcome.

And, Counselor...

...you're out of order.

[audience applauding]

We want to thank you all

for your hard work

on the season finale
of Handsome Justice.

We had a great season

and we cannot wait to get back
to work in the new year.

Now, please, everyone,

ask Santa Claus

to pick us up
for another season.

[audience chuckles]

Uh, Mike, did you want
to say a few words?

And turn down
a captive audience?

Never.

[audience chuckles]

To me, this is a dream job,

and it's a privilege
to work with all of you.

When I moved out here
from New York,

I didn't know what to expect,

but, together, we've built
something really special

that will hopefully continue
for many years to come.

The network isn't sure
about another season.

Haven't they seen our ratings?

We almost beat
that pet detective show.

Yeah, new corporate leadership,

and you know how that goes.

Is there anything we can do?

Pray for a Christmas miracle.

And keep this news to yourself.

There's no point
in worrying everyone

over the holiday break, hmm?

[♪♪]

[phone ringing]

Hey, Mom and Dad.

Hey!

How's our favorite TV lawyer?

Good, good.

All wrapped up for the season,

and everything is...

super...

super good!

Great. Hopefully,
now you get some time off.

Maybe more than I'd like.

What was that?

Hmm?

I was just saying,
yeah, I'll have--

I'll have some time off.

Oh, well, that's perfect

because I have a--

well, we--
we have a project

that we need your help with.

What kind of project?

Oh, one that's going
to bring back

all kinds of happy memories.

And one that
you cannot say no to

because it is
for your beloved parents.

No way.

You're not...

Bringing back
the Christmas House?

Yes, we are!

I know it's been
a long time.

Decades, actually.

Yeah, and it's a lot of work.

So much work.

But we really want to do it
one more time.

I'm finally retired now,

and I've got a lot of time

to be able to spend
with your guys,

and this is something
we can do together.

That's right.

But Christmas Eve
is in two weeks.

You guys do remember

it used to take us
an entire month

to move out all the furniture,

hang the decorations
inside, outside the house,

set up the animatronics.

You can't do it all
in two weeks.

Yes, we can.

We've already called
your brother,

and he's got the bakery in
for a remodel,

and Jake can work from anywhere,

so they are coming tomorrow
to help.

They are?

Oh, yeah.
Flying in tomorrow afternoon.

So, this is really happening.

After 20 years,

the Christmas House
is coming back.

But it's not just that.

Christmas...

it's about traditions.

This was ours.

And I miss it.

Look, we know
you're busy, honey,

but this would really mean a lot
to your mother.

And to me.

Sure.

Yeah, I will pack tonight
and change my flight.

Thank you, honey.

Love you.

Yeah. Love you, too.

[♪♪]

No updates yet.

Has anyone ever actually
died from suspense?

You sure you don't want
to tell your family yet?

I mean, we're about to be
in close quarters with them

for the next couple weeks.

It might to be hard

to keep this a secret.

Look, adoptions fall through

all the time.

It's hard enough for us
during this process.

I don't want
to get their hopes up

until we're at the finish line.

[Mike] You're out of order!

Handsome Justice?

No?

Nothing? Oh...

Sir, all I can do
for you right now

is put an alert in the system.

When your bag is located,

we'll deliver it to you.

Great.

[Brandon] Oh, my gosh!

It's Clint Handsome!

Can we get a selfie with you?

We are your biggest fans.

Yeah.

[click]

You guys do know
I actually have fans.

Besides our parents?

[service representative]
Excuse me.

Can you move
to the side, please?

Yeah.

So, Jake, you think
you're ready for this?

The legendary
Mitchell Family Christmas House?

No surface inside or out
is left untouched.

The electric bill alone--

record-breaking.

Construction, painting,
hanging snowflakes.

Glitter everywhere.

And don't forget the trees.

And tons of indoor fake snow.

But you really think

it's gonna take all of us
two weeks

to put this together?

He has no idea.

No.

-It's probably for the best.
-Yeah.

-We need to grab the rental car.
-I'll drive.

I can do it.

Jake, can you hold this
for a second?

[♪♪]

Yep, that was him!

Clint Handsome.

Whoo!

No, I'm not going to do that.

[♪♪]

They're here!

Hey! Welcome home!

Oh!

Hey, buddy.

[♪♪]

[♪♪]

[Mom] The dynamic duo.

I've come a long way
since Majestic Mike.

Thank goodness.

She's back, you know?

She... she moved home
after the divorce.

Oh?

Maybe you guys
could bring back the old act.

Oh, I think magic was
just a phase for us.

They don't really hand out

cool points
to magicians in high school.

Well, I was proud.

It took guts
to get up on that stage,

do those tricks.

And you guys were great.

Hey, why is
Dad's watch in here?

He is always
leaving this thing around.

Honey...

I'm so glad that you are here.

I thank you
for coming home early.

[whistle blowing]

Family meeting! Pronto!

Men...

we've got a heck
of a task ahead of us,

and it's going to take
a strong will

and a mighty heart

to get it all done.

She's been like this all week.

This is the Christmas House
punch list and schedule,

divided by category and chores
for each person.

Wow.

Can I just say

that after hearing about

the famous
Mitchell Christmas House

for years,

I am so honored

and thrilled to be a part
of this operation.

Thank you, Jake.

Have I told you lately
you're my favorite son-in-law?

You might be
her favorite son, period,

if you're going to be
this peppy.

All right, guys,
I need you to focus, come on.

Bill?

Who taught Dad PowerPoint?

I took a class at the library.

In the beginning,

it was nothing but a dream--

a dream inspired

by the Hudson Valley
holiday-house tours,

and a desire
for dazzling decorations

that would outdo them all--

but no dream--

no dream--

can become a reality
without someone to lead the way,

and so, family,

without further ado,

I give you Mom.

[Mom] Step one--clean-out.

Now, Mike, you and your dad

are going to pick up the truck,

so that we can load it up
and get the decorations in here.

You guys still have
those decorations?

Some of those have got to be,
what, 40 years old.

So's your sense of style,

but you don't hear us
saying anything about it.

Hey, it's part of
the charm of it--

bringing back the old favorites.

Step two--

set up the animatronics

and start hanging
the ceiling ornaments.

Step three, the trains.

-Trains?
-They have their own room.

Step four--

hang the garlands
and trim the trees.

Now, Mike, I'm putting you
in charge of those.

We need a firm needle,

and six to seven feet tall,

and a gently-sloping
triangle shape.

Can you remember
what I taught you

is the most important thing
about choosing a tree?

A sturdy limb
is perfect to trim.

You know, in my opinion,
1997 was our best year.

It was just
great attention to detail.

And, Mike,

you really delivered
on the garland fluffing.

It just--quality fluffing.

Thank you.

Brandon, I need you
to step up this year.

-Make me proud, buddy.
-Sir, yes, sir.

What's with the--

-Oh, yeah.
-[laughing]

I fell asleep on the couch,

and Brandon thought it would be
a fun idea to maim me.

[Jake] No.

[Brandon]
It's called manscaping.

-No. It's not.
-[Mom] All right.

All right, step five--

snow--lay the snow,
garnish the rooms.

Step six--

outdoor lighting,

and figurines,

and the staging--

and I'm so excited about this

because you know
what they have now

that we didn't have
when you all were young?

Inflatable yard decor.

Oh, boy.

Step seven--

that's cookies
and the candy canes.

That's my favorite part.

Well, good.

Because you're gonna need
to make 12 dozen of everything

this year.

Question.

Yes, Brandon?

Will Majestic Mike
be performing?

Oh... Majestic Mike.

He was a neighborhood favorite.

No, thank you.
I hung up my cape.

Well, we still have time
to change your mind.

So...

you guys got
your marching orders.

We start tomorrow,
bright and early. Any questions?

I, for one,
am honored to participate.

Yeah.

It'll be fine.

Fun! It'll be fun.

Christmas waits for no man.

Let's do this.

[whistle blowing]

[repeated whistle tweets]

Aw, Mom! Aw!

[♪♪]

[Mom] Most of this
is already scheduled, and...

[yawns]
Tell me there's coffee.

[Mom] Mike.

Mike, honey.

Do you guys have oat milk,

or any dairy alternatives?

Mike Mitchell.

You've gone totally Hollywood.

[Mom laughs]

Andi Cruz.

Hi, Mike.

Nice outfit.

Yeah. Yeah.

The airline--

the airline lost my luggage.

What are you doing here?

Mike.

I'm sorry.

I... I just didn't expect

to find Andi Cruz
in our kitchen...

this morning.

We're staying
at my Mom's for now.

Ah, you're next door?

Just like old times.

[Mom] Andi's son, Noah,
is at my school.

Can you believe the timing?

If I had stayed
just one more year,

we could have
been there together.

[Andi] Oh, well,

if you were still working,

who would oversee
the Christmas House?

Ah... roped in
like the rest of us.

Are you kidding?

You couldn't keep me away.

This is the best part
of Christmas.

Okay, Andi, this has been fun.

Really good to see you again.

Um, but I've got to run,

put on something--

literally, anything else.

[Andi] That's a great idea.

Okay. Andi Cruz.

[laughing]

[♪♪]

[whistle blowing]

Your father's downstairs,

ready to get the truck.

Was that really necessary?

[tweets repeatedly]

[Mike] They're still doing
the same show.

[Dad] Every year.

Hey, you remember
when you were the head elf?

You wouldn't stop
taking curtain calls.

Elena had to literally
carry you off the stage.

Should have known back then
you'd become an actor.

Is Andi's mom
still running the place?

Oh, yeah.

And she's very proud

that one of her performers
now has his own TV show.

Hey, I get the sense

that this whole
Christmas House thing

is more Mom than you.

No, no.
We both wanted to do it.

Hmm.

It just seemed like
a sudden decision,

when, normally,
you guys are such planners.

Well, it's not just
your mother and me.

It's for everybody.

But it would be nice

if your brother and you

would maybe try to make this

a special Christmas
for your mom.

There have been
a lot of changes this year,

and I think...

it's hard to adjust.

I thought she'd be happy
to be retired.

-You were.
-I was.

I still am,

but your mom and I
are very different.

We are so happy
to have you boys home.

I'm happy to be home.

Hey...

I saw Andi this morning.

Does she come by a lot, or?

Is that you asking
or Majestic Mike?

I was just surprised,
that's all.

I haven't talked to her
in a long time.

I'm surprised you two
haven't stayed in touch.

You share a lot of history.

Yeah.

Careful, guys,
that's my favorite.

It's also incredibly heavy.

Because it's real oak.

I can't remember this
weighing so much.

Because I bought it last year.

I don't remember
this being so hard.

Me either.

All you used to care about

is who could get
the most boxes in the truck

in the least amount of time.

[neck cracks]

Winner gets 20 bucks.

Bring it.

Oh, I hope you both have
sons one day.

Hello?

-Hello!
-Hey.

Hi.

I come bearing coffee.

How neighborly of you.

I'm sorry it's not
a fermented chia-seed smoothie

or whatever celebrities drink.

Don't knock it
till you've tried it.

I'm kidding.

Fermented chia-seed smoothies--
so last year.

I must say,

I'm a bit disappointed

not to see what other
high-school clothes

might be lurking in your closet.

And I am sorry to rob you

of the chance of seeing me
in a sweet mock turtleneck,

but my luggage arrived.

Who are those guys?

I'd like to point out

that we're the ones
doing the heavy lifting

while Mike appears to be
on a coffee break.

And I'd like to point out

that we're way too old
to be tattling.

Andi! Hi!

Hi! Surprise!

As much as I enjoy moving,

I thought that this would
make the day easier

on all of us,

so put down the boxes,

take a coffee.

I guess I should have
brought champagne, but--

Just show the movers
what needs to go where.

Oh, we'll show them.

By the way, bro,
our deal is off,

however, I win.

Mm.

[Brandon] Come on, babe.
Boys, follow me!

Well, this was
very thoughtful of you, Andi.

You didn't have to do this.

Oh, it's the least I could do
for my favorite new clients.

I'm so grateful for the listing,

and I'm committed
to finding you the right buyer.

You guys are selling the house?

When were you going to tell us
you're selling the house?

We were going
to bring it up last night,

but it was...

well, it was so lovely
just being together,

and we decided to wait,

and then we've been
so busy today.

I'm so sorry...

I'm so sorry.

I assumed that everybody knew.

It's fine.

I'm actually relieved
that the cat's out of the bag.

And I'll make sure

that whoever
moves into the house next

loves it as--
as much as you do.

I'm still processing.

Where will you guys go?

Are you leaving town?
What's the time table on this?

Well...

We're still working that out.

This is why you wanted

to do the Christmas House
this year, isn't it?

Because this is the last time
we'll all be here together.

It was a hard decision,
but it's the right one.

And we can talk about this
later, okay?

I'm sorry.

Yeah.

But don't be too hard on them.

It's Christmas.

Thank you for the coffee.

-And the movers.
-Of course.

You mind
if we stop at the store?

I told Mom I'd cook.

Earth to Mike.

Something doesn't seem right.

What does that mean?

Why are they selling the house?

Downsizing is a perfectly
reasonable thing to do.

That's a lot of house
for two people.

The real question is,
why are you so upset about it?

It's my childhood home.

It's mine, too.

And you don't feel

anything about the fact
it's our last Christmas there?

Sure, I do.

But as much as
I love that house,

it's part of my past.

I had my time there,

so did you,

and now it'll belong
to the next family.

You think you're so wise.

It's about time
you recognized it.

I am brimming with wisdom.

I am up to my eyeballs
in wisdom.

Do you want to hear some more?

No, I think I'm good,
thank you.

-Sometimes, you look--
-All good.

Just saying.

Oh, look at "Muscles."

[click]

You're on TV.
I've seen your show.

Yeah?

It's always nice to meet a fan.

Well, I said
I've seen the show--

not that I like it.

Oh.

Mike, this is my son, Noah.

Hey, Noah.

He's playing it cool,
he absolutely loves your show.

My mom always says

she knew there was
something special about you.

Your mom said that?

I doubt I said that.

No, you did.

You said it when we watched
the show last week.

You were all like,

"Ah, I always knew there was

something special
about that guy."

He has you confused
with someone else.

It must be the other guy
from our high school

with the TV show.

No, no, no, no.

I don't-- She was--
She was talking about you.

I told him that we were
professional colleagues.

You know, Majestic Mike
and Awesome Andi.

That was the extent
of my stage career.

So, do you still do magic?

No, not since my stage partner
quit on me.

Retired.

Okay, bud.

It's time for homework
and dinner.

[sighs]

Okay.

Well, it was nice meeting you.

Likewise.

See you tomorrow?

You will?

Tree day.

Right.

-Bye!
-See ya, Noah.

[sifter sifting]

[Mom, in memory]
Okay, Brandon,

we just pull this,

and this is powdered sugar,

and you just pull
that handle, okay?

-Yeah.
-Just pull it.

[Young Mike] Mom!

Pull it hard.
Pull it easy.

[Young Mike] Brandon!

Come back
a little more on this--

Oh! Oh, ho!

Oh...

Well...

we'll figure it out.

Did you do
a double-knot this time?

Yeah, smart.

[Mom laughing]

Some things never change.

Well, people love my rosettes.

I'm one of them.

They're on the menu
at the bakery.

A tribute to you.

Aw!

Wow.

Who would have thought,

after all this time in here
with me at the holidays,

would turn you
into a bonafide professional?

Certainly not me.

Remember the first time
I made spice bars?

You could have broken a window
with those things.

Yeah.

Maybe I can come and visit you
in Denver after the holidays.

Sure.

We'd love having you and Dad--

especially during ski season.

I meant, just me.

Solo girls' trip?

Got the time now.
Why not?

Hey...

You are welcome any time.

[laughing]

[whistle blows]

I sent Mike and Andi
to the tree lot.

Hey, Jake, what do you call

a Christmas tree
that knows kung-fu?

-What?
-Spruce Lee.

It's a Dad joke.

Brandon and Jake,

I need you to get started
on the outside.

Bill, I'm putting you
on party invitations.

That should be easy for you

since you're always
out and about anyway.

That's generally what one does
when one is retired,

and you know
I like to keep busy.

Yes, you do.

I'm going to organize
the inside decorations,

and tonight...

we'll hang the ornaments.

Now, get out there
and make Christmas happen!

[whistles]

On it.

Guys, come on!

How about this one?

No, this one.

Whoa. This one for sure.

Yeah, that's a winner.

That's perfect.

Now we just need
four more like it.

On it!

You know, being on tree duty
with you guys

got me out of untangling
twinkly lights,

so thank you for that.

I thought Noah would enjoy it.

I did when I was a kid.

You know,
it really surprised me

how you reacted to your parents
selling the house.

It's...

it's been a long time
since you lived here.

This place
has always been home base.

I've moved a lot, but...

it was just nice

knowing it was always here
if I needed it.

That's how I feel, too.

After the divorce,

I couldn't imagine
going anywhere else.

So...

tell me about L.A.

Tell me about

all the glamorous parties
that you go to every night.

More like in bed
by 9:00 p.m. every night

because of early call times

and even earlier workouts

with a trainer

that does not care
if I want a social life.

That has pretty much been
my life the last three years.

Stars--they're just like us.

Except, instead of

early-morning workouts
with a trainer,

I have a 10-year-old,

so soccer practice,
homework, bedtime.

While other people go out,
or, I don't know, sleep,

I usually catch up on work.

You ever wonder
what all the hustle is for?

Hey, guys!
I think I found another one!

It's for him.

When Noah's father
moved overseas,

it felt so nice to be
in a place that was familiar,

you know?

Like, people know you
and care about you,

vice versa.

And he gets to experience

everything I loved
about this place,

and I get to experience it
with him all again.

That sounds pretty great.

Wow! Look at this one!

What do you think?

Ooh, looks good.

Before we decide,

choose a branch
and give it a little tug.

If any of the needles
come off in your hand,

then you know it's too dry.

Okay.

Did you get any needles?

Nope. They all stayed on.

Then we got a winner.

-[phone ringing]
-[Noah] Great.

Nice.

-I got to grab this.
-Yeah.

I hope you're calling
with good news.

I wish I was,

but I'm sorry to say,
Handsome Justice is canceled.

I'm going to keep
hammering them.

Do you really think
you can change their minds?

It's Christmas.

Anything can happen.

Sorry about that.

[Noah] Guys, what do you think
about this one?

Ooh.

[♪♪]

[Bill, in memory]
Looks pretty good.

It's perfect.

Yeah!

Yeah.

It's beautiful.

So are you.

[kids] Yuck!

Okay, all right, okay.

You think I should send

a letter to Santa
about those two?

I think
that there is still time

to get them on the naughty list.

[Bill] Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Uh-huh.

We're nice.

[laughing]

We're nice.

-Right here.
-Perfect.

Oh...

[door opens]

[Mike] Watch your head, Mom.

I remember that one.
From Dad.

-Yeah.
-This is good.

Hey, it's not Christmas

until the first ornament
is on the tree.

Go for it.

But you always
hang the first one.

Eh.

All right.
No pressure.

[Mom] So that one will be
the family tree this year.

That one will be the snowflake,

and that one
will be the toy tree.

Toy tree?

Oh, each tree has a theme,

so now we've got to find
the ornaments

so we can get to decorating.

All right, let's go.

Okay.

That garland's
not going to fluff itself.

At least
she didn't blow the whistle.

Yeah.

[whistle blows]

We've got to take
that thing away from her.

Hey, so after doing this
for 10,000 hours,

I discovered a little trick.

As you work your way
down the garland,

move each branch--

left, right, up, and down.

That's how you get
uniform fluffage.

Fluffage?

It's a technical term.

[text alert chimes]

Oh, I swear
it's like clockwork.

The only time a client need me

is when I'm busy
doing something else.

I'm so sorry,

I'm going to have to go
show a house to someone.

Is this an elaborate scheme
to get out of fluffing garland?

You're not nearly as pompous
as I expected you to be now.

Thanks.

Lucky for you,
I find it charming.

Oh, Noah.

What?

Well, I'll have
to take him with me.

My mother's volunteering
at the library today.

Just leave him here.

We'll put him to work.

Like our very own little elf.

I mean, what self-respecting
Christmas House

doesn't have its own elf?

That's a good point.
Are you sure?

-Yeah.
-Okay.

[Andi] Noah?

Please tell me
you need help with that.

"Majestic Mike's
Traveling Caravan."

Whoa.

That's when Mike used to be
a big-time magician.

I dabbled.

[Bill] Hey, hey,
don't sell yourself short.

Majestic Mike
could really pack in a crowd.

Your mom
was part of the act, too.

Her stage name
was Awesome Andi.

They were quite a pair.

They would play
birthday parties,

and then every Christmas Eve,

they would come here
to the Christmas House

and put on this great, big,
fantastic magic show.

People came from miles around
to see it.

Well, people came
for the house.

We just happened
to be performing in the yard.

Do you guys think
maybe I could learn?

Well, now, that depends.

Learning magic
is a lot of hard work.

I can work hard.

It also takes
a lot of practice.

I'll practice.

I don't know.

Mike, you think
he's got the calling?

Only a true magician
can know for sure.

They feel it
in their bones.

Yeah, yeah!

I feel it. Definitely.

In that case,

I'll bet you,
if you asked him,

Majestic Mike might just
dust off his old tricks for you.

Absolutely.

Oh, and a cape.

He's definitely
going to need a cape.

Yeah, yeah, the cape.
Definitely.

Are your parents

actually going to put on
more Christmas lights than this?

Yes.

I mean...

I love twinkly lights,

but is there such a thing
as too many?

Don't let my parents
hear you say that.

This time next year,

we're gonna be decorating
as a family of three.

I hope so.

I can't wait.

Did you hear
from the agency today?

If I had, don't you think
I would have said something?

It was just a question.

Dinner's ready.

Great.

I could use some carbs.

I'm sorry.

All I've been thinking about

is whether
the adoption will go through,

and on top of that,

I'm not there to oversee
the bakery renovation.

It's nice being here,
but the timing isn't great.

Hey.

It's so good that we're here.

We need some time together,

away from work stress,

and adoption stress,

and...

this is just going to give us
so many great memories,

and...

inspiration for when
we celebrate Christmas...

with our kids.

Do you think
we'll decorate like this

when we have kids?

Absolutely not.

Hey, honey,

remember when we got this

in that little shop
in the Berkshires?

Tiny place.

You were pregnant with Brandon.

That was
the little reindeer figurine.

We got this teapot
when I was pregnant with Mike,

and it was
in Annendale on the Hudson.

That was our last Christmas,
it was just the two of us.

I remember it
because I know how I felt.

I was so proud and excited--

and nervous about the birth
of our first child...

and so grateful

for the happiness
that I was feeling.

See, this is
not just a teapot--

this is a part
of our family's history.

Maybe I'm the only one
who thinks it matters,

but I do, so.

Ultimately,
the memory of a thing

is really all you have.

All right,

let's eat
while it's still warm.

Hi.

Hi. This is a surprise.

I come bearing gifts.

Well, no, a gift.

And it's actually for Noah.

I recognize that.

Yeah...

I figured it was time

to pass on to someone
who'll actually use it.

Or you could have just
dropped it off at the house.

And miss the look on your face

when you saw
the old case of tricks?

No way.

Noah asked me
about stage partners.

Apparently,
there's a girl in his school

that he wants to invite
to perform with him.

Go, Noah.

I was actually thinking

that I could take him
by the magic shop.

You know,
introduce him to the basics.

The art of performance.

I saw her billboard today.

Your competition?

More like domination.

She's been the only game in town
for a long time, and...

it's tough to compete.

You know,

I could post something
on my social media?

About me?

You think that could work?

Well, I have
1.2 million followers, so...

could make a splash.

Thanks, but I'm...

I'm focusing on building
more of a local presence.

[phone ringing]

Sorry.

I got to take this.

Hello?

Okay...

Sure.

Right now?

Yeah. Yeah, that's fine.

Okay. Thanks.

Sorry. That was my agent.

Oh, you don't have to say that
just to impress me.

No, it actually was.

There's this work thing.

It's a commercial,

and they want me

to try out some taglines for it
as soon as possible.

Taglines for what?

When your odor
is out of order,

reach for Grift Body Spray.

Now in a new scent--

Justice.

You can do
way better than that.

You're out of order--

but Justice
never smelled so good.

Grift Body Spray.

Get yours today.

That felt weird.
Did it sound weird?

Sounds pretty weird.

Ooh.

What's my secret weapon
in court?

Grift Body Spray.

Justice never smelled so good.

What do you think?

I think your job
is very strange,

but I have to admit,
it was quite entertaining.

Then my work here is done.

See ya.

Thank you.

Et voilà.

Honey, this looks wonderful.

Show-off.

We can't all be
magicians or TV lawyers, Mike.

Mike gave Noah
his old magic kit.

Oh!

Wow, there was a time

I thought that you would never
get rid of that thing.

It's very nice
that you're passing it on.

I told Andi
I'd give him a few lessons,

help him get his bearings.

When we were in high school,
Andi broke Mike's heart.

No, she didn't.

We were friends.

So you're helping her kid
to learn magic

because as a friend.

Yeah, yeah.

See?

He's not just a nice guy on TV--
he's one in real life, too.

Thank you, Jake.

Actually,
I wanted to tell you guys.

The network canceled
Handsome Justice.

What? Oh...

No, it's fine.

This is the gig, you know?

When I get back to L.A.,
I will look for the next job,

but for now,

I am just grateful

that we can enjoy

the holiday together
as a family.

-Sorry, honey.
-Thanks.

[♪♪]

Come on!

Whoa! This place is so awesome.

Greetings, magicians,

and welcome
to Marvelous Jim's Magic Shop.

And how can I help you

on your journey
through the illusionary arts?

We are looking for
some beginner's tricks.

Ah!

[clattering]

Ah, just one second.

I know I have something.

There we are!

[hums]

There we are.

[pocket watch clinking]

-Whoa!
-Whoa!

Can I learn how to do that?

Of course you can.

But first...

What?

You'll have to find

your own
very special pocket watch.

Now...

what do you call yourself?

Noah.

Noah! Ah!

Noah, Noah, Noah...

Numinous.

Noetic. Nifty.

Ah! I've got it!

Noah the Nimble.

Yes, that's it.

Now, if you'll kindly
walk this way, young mage.

I know just the thing for you.

[message notification beeps]

[notifications beeping]

If you're looking

to buy or sell a home
this Christmas season,

give yourself the gift

of a realtor who will make
your dreams come true.

Andi Cruz Homes.

Come home for the holidays.

Hey! Those are for Santa!

You're out of order!

Sustained.

-Mm!
-[Andi laughs]

[doorbell rings]

What a wonderful hat.

Oh!

Why, thank you.

I'm here to audition.

Come right on in.

Silver dollar.

Ordinary glass.

[Bill, in memory] Whoa!

How the heck did you do that?

A magician
never reveals his tricks.

Oh, I see.

You know, Mike,

a lot of magicians

have, like, a helper,
or a partner,

to do tricks with them.

-They do?
-Oh, yeah.

So if you know somebody,

or you find somebody

that, you know,
might be a good partner,

you could ask them
to join your act.

Because magic is

really something
to be shared.

You know,
it's a lot like Christmas.

So what do you say?

Can I perform at the party?

Absolutely.

Yes!

So...

You haven't mentioned the video.

The video?
What video?

Come on, the one I posted?

How have you not seen it?

It has, like,
over a hundred thousand views.

Oh, yeah, that video.

Yeah. It was cute.

It would be nice

if the face of my business
was actually my own.

Okay. I hear that.

This was just to get
everyone's attention.

The next one...

The next one?

...we do together.

I have an idea.

Lay it on me.
I'm all about collaboration.

How about I have my people
call your people

if I want your help.

-Okay?
-Okay.

[Mike] Have you and Mom started
looking for new places yet?

Can't really think about that
until the new year.

It's hard to imagine you guys
in a different house.

Yeah, it is.

Hey, do you
really want to sell?

I want your mother to be happy.

Is everything okay?

It will be.

Do you think Mom and Dad
are acting weird?

Weird how?

Selling the house,
not telling us about it,

not having a plan
for when they move.

That doesn't seem like them.

Typical Mike.

What does that mean?

Sometimes,
you look for problems

where there aren't any.

Could it be
that what you're really feeling

is your own unfinished business
with a certain girl next door?

Would you quit with that?

No.

This is supposed to be

the Mitchell Family Christmas
to end all Christmases,

and...

I just feel like
things are off.

So you don't think this has

at all to do with the fact

that, suddenly,
you're around Andi again,

like old times.

You're available,
she's available.

I mean, you've got her kid
doing magic tricks,

for crying out loud.

This has got "second chance"
written all over it.

Yeah.

Well, how can there be
a second chance

when there was never
a first one?

Well...

maybe this is your second chance
at a first chance.

No.

With everything going on
right now,

I can't even think about that.

Hey, this is
our last Christmas here.

I know you got
a lot on your mind,

but try to be
in the moment, okay?

-Okay?
-Ow!

Okay?

Okay.

-I played softball.
-Mom!

[♪♪]

That's really good.

I know, but I don't know
where to put it.

There's no place to put it.

Looks like a little present.

Look at these trees
that I made.

[conversation continues]

Your baking skills.

Why don't we use
your baking skills, right, Dad?

-Yeah.
-Am I right?

Hey...

the Christmas Mouse.

Yeah.

Do you remember

how we used to hide her
all over the house

for you kids to find.

Mm-hmm.

Except for the year

when you hid her
and forgot where.

Oh, right,

and then we had to start
writing it down after that.

You know, I had another one
at school.

When I was principal,

I used to hide her

in a different classroom
every day,

and the kids
would have to find her.

It's so strange
to drive by there

and know that somebody else
is watching over it.

You worked hard
for a long time.

It must be nice
to have a break.

I'm not on a break.

It's done.

Your dad made it look
so easy to retire.

You know,
when you're raising kids...

and you're both working...

you're focused
on the same things.

Is that why you guys
are selling the house?

To get a fresh start?

Well, we need
some perspective,

so, um...

we are going to move

into separate places
after the holidays.

Now, I really...

I don't want you
to say anything about this.

Please.

Because we want everyone
to enjoy this holiday together.

Right?

It's not
one last Christmas House.

It's one last Christmas.

I'm sorry, Mom.

[buzzing and popping]

[screaming]

[screaming]

[Mom] Oh, no!

Gives a whole new meaning
to the term "Silent Night," huh?

Look,

all I'm saying
is postpone it.

Bring back the Christmas House
next year.

They're selling the house.

They won't be here next year.

We can postpone that, too.

Should we cancel?

Dad will be so disappointed.

He's so excited
to show his friends.

Yeah, but we can't host anybody
if we don't have electricity.

We'll figure something out.

We can't cancel
The Christmas House.

It means too much.

[Bill] There we go,
there we go!

Yeah, there we go!
That's the ticket.

My hero.

That's your hero!

Well done, well done.

Not sure how long
that's gonna last,

but if we keep
the animatronics off,

it should hold.

We lost a lot of bulbs, though.

I know a guy who can patch it.

We can always use the generator
as the back-up.

Okay. We can make it work.

We have to.
At least, we have to try.

Dad, make a list

of all the people

we can ask for decorations
and supplies.

Handsome 1, Handsome 2,
you're on clean-up duty.

And I'll get started
with the repairs.

Don't worry.
We got this.

[♪♪]

Don't you dare.

[whistle blowing]

Here you go, babe.

Put something underneath it.

Oh! Some handiwork.

Yeah.

Well, I hope you guys
are working up an appetite

because my mom's
been cooking all day

to get ready for tonight.

Ooh! Tamale night.

Now, that is a family tradition
I can get behind.

You know, every year,

I ask your mother
for the recipe,

and every year,
she turns me down.

Family secret, sorry.

I've actually
been working on this idea

for a masa scone.

Nothing?

Okay, masa croissant?

Ooh, I know!
A masa donut, huh?

Does anyone ever tell you
that you do too much?

All the time.

Hey, honey.

I've written up a list

of people I want to call
for decorations.

Stores too.

Is there anybody
you'd like to add?

What about the Kendricks?

They moved to Florida
three months ago.

They did?

I didn't tell you?

I guess not.

It's not like...

It wasn't on purpose, honey.
I just forgot.

We used to tell each other
everything.

It's not like I'm trying
to keep things from you.

You were busy with your work,

and so I found things to do--

things I like doing.

And I think you should find
things you like to do,

you know, now that you're free.

We used to be in sync.

We're not anymore.

I don't know what that means.

Neither do I.

The Christmas House
is coming along.

The boys are here.

And aside from
some electrical damage,

it's shaping up to be
a perfect Christmas.

Can't we both just enjoy it?

Yes.

But a perfect Christmas
is not gonna solve our problems.

[♪♪]

Oh! Mom, they're here!

Just in time!

[speaks in Spanish]

Bienvenida.

Hi.

You look beautiful.

It smells so good in here!

Thank you!

Okay, you ready?
Look at this.

Look.

Aw, thank you.

Even though the are big,

they still feel like kids to me.

It has been a long time
since I've done this.

And when Mike and I
were your age,

Mama never let us
spread the masa.

Because you were too messy.

Too busy
making each other laugh.

Oh, and tamales
are serious business.

Oh, yes. They are.

Okay, so what do I do here?

[Noah] All right,
you need a spoonful of fat,

and then spread it on there.

[Bill]
Okay, spread it on there?

Well, you know
what they say, Noah...

What?

"Here today, gone tamale."

It's a Dad joke--
"here today, gone tamale."

Today, tamale.

[Andi] It's okay, Noah,
I don't get it either.

[laughs]

You know what I always say--

dessert is the best part
of every meal.

Homemade buñuelos

and Abuela's
spicy hot chocolate.

I will never forget
the first time I had this.

You sneezed for an hour
because of the chili powder.

You were so upset
because you thought...

...you were going
to sneeze forever.

Elena, thank you
for all the delicious food.

Anything for
my favorite TV star.

She's also a big fan
of cat videos,

so don't let the adoration
go to your head.

Cat video lovers
are a key demographic for me.

I'm so happy
the Christmas House is back.

I can't wait to see it.

We're excited, too.

We only have a few days left.

Then we'll have

our first official
Christmas House visitors.

That is when it really
starts to get real.

[conversations, indistinct]

He's really taken to the magic.

Yeah.

Did he ask Rose
to perform with him yet?

Not yet.

He just has to
work up the nerve.

Yeah.

Remember when we performed
on the Christmas stage

for the first time?

The disappearing watch trick?

When I lost
Mr. Nicholson's watch?

You know, I spent three months

actually believing
I had magical powers...

until the snow melted
and we found it in the yard.

I believed it, too.

I hoped the magic was real.

I'm just glad that
you decided to stick around

even after you realized

it was just a vanishing trick
gone wrong.

Me too.

[message alert sounds]

Sorry.

It's an email
from Gail Sterling.

She saw the video.
What do I do?

Write her back.

Oh, she wants to know

how I know the guy
from Handsome Justice.

[♪♪]

♪ Christmas... ♪

♪ The snow's comin' down ♪

♪ Christmas... ♪

♪ I'm watchin' it fall ♪

♪ Christmas... ♪

♪ Lots of people around ♪

♪ Christmas... ♪

I'm working on a new trick.

It's called
"the phantom necklace."

Cool.

[boys laughing]

[boys laughing]

[♪♪]

Really?

Today, antlers are mandatory.

[Andi] Oh!

I have some news.

I know your house
is not on the market yet,

but...

I have been mentioning it,
word's gotten around,

and we got an email
from a potential buyer.

Oh! Already?

He's local,

he absolutely loves
the Christmas House,

so I can bring him by
for a walk-through,

or... or you can wait.

Yeah. If you're not ready,
you can say no.

You're so lucky
to get to live here.

Yeah.

-You okay, bro?
-[bicycle bell dings]

You seem stressed.

You know what?

I am stressed.

I lost the best job I ever had,

Mom and Dad aren't happy,

there's something going on
with you and Jake,

with all the whispering,

and being around Andi's
got me thinking,

I don't even
want to go back to L.A.

I knew it!

You caught feelings.

It's almost Christmas.

Where's the magic, huh?

The deck the halls,

all is calm, all is bright
holiday joy?

Where is it?

How are you so calm?

Things are literally on fire.

I'm calm

because I'm the guy

that's come this close
to being a father three times,

only to have the adoption
fall through.

Jake and I are waiting
to hear on another one,

but we don't want
to tell you guys

until we know for sure.

You guys are adopting?

We're trying.

But I've had to learn
to let things fall apart,

and then pick up and keep going.

And what you realize is...

it may hurt,

but you will get through it.

Maybe it's time
to dust off the old journal.

Write some poetry about
the magical girl next door.

You read my journal?

You expected me not to?

Uh-huh.

You're gonna make a great dad.

Come here.

Thanks.

You're gonna make
a decent uncle.

Thank you.

[both laughing]

A buyer's coming over now?

It's--it's just a walk-through.

Yeah, but what if he makes
an offer?

Then we'll discuss it.

Look, we agreed
that it's time for a change.

Well, I know,

but it's...

it's all happening so fast.

It seems fast to you

because you're not the one
making all the arrangements

since you're so busy

with your new friends
and your clubs, and--

Are you upset with me
because I'm seeing friends...

taking yoga and hiking?

No.

But the changes

that you have made
in your life...

well, I want those as well,

and...

this is the first step.

[doorbell rings]

Welcome.

Oh, the famed Christmas House.

What an honor.

-Marvelous Jim?
-Indeed.

Ah!

We meet again.

I've admired this house
for some time.

How fortuitous to learn
that it's come on the market.

Shall we start?

Enchanting.

Why don't I join you?

We had a big leak in here.

Old pipes.

The plumbing is solid.

An inspector can verify that.

Mold.

You can smell it
if you really get in there.

[Andi] There's no mold.

You believe in ghosts, Jim?

Have I got a story for you.

Alright.

Why don't you wait here?

What? I'm just trying
to be helpful.

For some reason,
I really doubt that.

Thank you so much.

That was absolute
Christmas catharsis.

Thank you.

Ghosts?

Seemed only fair to tell him.

Tell him what?

That when you were 11,

you thought you heard a noise
in the middle of the night?

Everyone was asleep.
You explain it.

There are like 50 other things
that it could be before ghosts.

Is he gonna buy it?

Your parents haven't even
put it on the market yet.

I think we all need
to slow down.

Mike...

I am not going to steer
your parents into a bad deal,

or rush things with them.

Do you want me to call him,
tell him I made up the mold?

Just...

just wave your wand
and tell him it disappeared.

On that note,

I'm going to have

a glass of wine
as big as my head.

You want some company?

My treat.

That would be nice.

[Andi gasps]

I thought
you didn't do magic.

I don't.
That was nothing.

You decided you weren't going
to be a headliner in Vegas?

A real loss
for show business, I know.

I did wonder, though.

You know, I thought
we were in it together,

and then, poof, you were done.

Well, you were moving on,
and I figured I should, too.

Moving on?

With Troy Parker.

Troy Parker?

I had a gift for you...

a necklace...

and I was just about
to do this trick

to surprise you with it,

but it got jammed in the box.

And by the time
I got it unjammed...

you were across the room,
with Troy.

And he became your boyfriend...

and that was that.

I also have a confession.

I have watched every episode...

of Handsome Justice.

Really?

[Andi laughs] Yes.

My favorite one is

where you defend
the dog accused of murder.

I saw it twice.

I am flattered.

You should be.

And even if you're not
performing with me,

I am glad that you didn't quit
altogether.

Besides...

I always wondered about you.

Me too.

Oh.

The good news is he's--
he's interested,

but he does want to put
an expiration date on his offer.

In his words,

"the ticking clock
can be a friend to us all."

Let's list the house now.

Today.

Well, everyone's already
coming over for Christmas Eve,

so it's practically
an open house.

Are you sure you're ready?

Yes.

-Yes.
-Okay.

Then the Christmas House
is officially for sale.

Thank you.

[phone ringing]

Hey! How are things
in sunny California?

Well, I think they're fine,

but surprise--
I'm actually in New York.

What? Why?

I have a meeting
with the network--

and I think you should come.

-When?
-The day after tomorrow.

-Christmas Eve?
-I know.

And I know it's last minute,

but I begged to get in

before they close
for the holidays.

I think they thought
giving me that time slot

would deter me.

Kathleen--

Help me make a case to them
to keep the show.

You being there
can make a difference.

Mike...

Okay.

Great. I'll see you then.

You have to work
on Christmas Eve?

The timing's terrible.
I know.

But I've got to go
and fight for the show.

Look, I'll be back
on the 5:00 train.

You won't even know I'm gone.

A stage, huh?

For the live music,
the magicians.

Just when you thought

the Christmas House couldn't get
any Christmas House-ier...

Wait, did you just say
"magicians" plural?

I did.

Awesome Andi and Majestic Mike,
for one night only.

Assisting Noah the Nimble,
of course.

What do you think?

That's inspired.

Do you need costumes and props?

I got a guy.

I'll make a call.

You in?

Absolutely.

We'll just stay here and,

you know,
get all the real work done.

These are from Elena.

They're props from the theater.

Oh.

I've got more outside.

Hey...

you surprised me today.

When you told Andi
that you want to list the house.

Well, it's what you want,
isn't it?

Yes.

Well, then,
that's what matters most to me.

I'm trying, Phyl.

I'm really trying.
I just...

want us to be...

us.

Yeah, me too.

Well...

better get back and work on
the outside lights.

Don't forget your--

-Gloves.
-Gloves.

[Mike] Stop.

[Noah] Put it in there.

Now watch this.

Open it.

Well done!

Excellent utility prop work.

Thank you.
I'm a little nervous.

Oh, me too.

But that's okay.

I always get nervous
before performances.

-You do?
-Sure.

But I tell myself

that nervous and excited
are almost the same thing,

so be excited instead.

Okay.

Hey, dinner's almost ready.

Why don't you conjure yourself
some homework?

-See you, buddy.
-Bye, Mike.

He's gonna knock 'em dead.

Yeah.

He's been happier
in the last two weeks

than he has since we moved here.

It's the magic.

And...

that's because of you.

Well, I like
hanging out with him.

With you, too.

You really are
a born entertainer.

I used to think it was

just because you loved
being the center of attention,

and maybe that's part of it,

but...

you do bring a lot of joy.

I may not always
go about it the right way,

but that is the goal.

You know...

I'm not sure

that I ever thanked you
for posting that video.

I should've asked
your permission.

Next time.

Not bad.

Want some help?

Hey.

Just like the old days.

You coming back
from dinner at the Cruzs',

me working out in the yard.

Yeah.

There's a bunch of lights
in that box right there.

I could use the help.

Noah really likes the magic.

[laughs]

That sounds familiar.

You know, it never
occurred to me until now,

teaching Noah these tricks,

that you must have spent hours
learning them yourself

so you could teach me.

Are you kidding?
I loved it.

I'm gonna miss this place.

[♪♪]

Hey, Mom told me...

about you guys
taking some time apart.

Oh, she did, huh?

Huh...

I didn't know that.

I'm sorry, Dad.

Oh, well, you know,

over the course of a life,
people change.

It's natural.

They should change.

I got so caught up
with the new things in my life

that I...

lost sight of what's important.

But now I remember.

Remember what?

I don't need this house,

or the routine.

I just need us.

Our family.

My wife.

And I guess I've done...

a pretty lousy job
of showing her that.

You gonna be okay?

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

You gonna stand there all night

or are you gonna help me
with the lights?

There you go. Yeah?

Thank you.

Yeah.

It's nice you guys
are back together.

On stage, I mean.

Yeah.

It's nice to be back.

And then,
when you hear the applause,

take a bow.

Great.

And if you get nervous--

-You mean excited?
-Right. What do you do?

Picture the audience
with big, red Rudolph noses.

I think you're ready.

Oh, wait.
I got something for you.

Wow!

That's really amazing.

[text alert sounds]

What's wrong?

My meeting tomorrow.

I had hoped
it would be in the morning,

but it's set for the afternoon.

[Noah] Don't worry, Mom.

Mike said he wouldn't
miss my show for anything,

so he won't.

Right, Mike?

Right. Yeah.

It's just a quick trip.

Come on.

Later, buddy.

[sighs]

I think you guys are gonna get

a whole slew of offers
on the house tomorrow.

Yeah, a Christmas Eve
open-house party

is actually a great idea.

Well, we sure went out
with a bang.

[laughing]

Yeah, you sure did.

[phone ringing]

Guys, I talked
to Andi yesterday--

about a property.

It's a house.

It's on the Hudson.

In Annendale.

And it's a fixer-upper.

And I've asked
my favorite contractor

if he would help me with it.

Well, I want her to be happy
and I want to be happy,

so we've decided
to be happy together.

It's a project
that we can share.

That's great.

Yeah.

Really?

Really.

We're having a baby!

Our adoption finalized today.

We've been close before, but...

-Our little boy is coming home.
-Yeah.

We're grandparents!

We'll have to baby-proof
the new house!

Now who's
your favorite son, huh?

The one who's leaving you
on Christmas

or the one who's giving you
a grandchild?

You!

-It's me, huh?
-[laughing]

Mom, can I at least
wear my cape?

No.

Capes are not for sleeping.

Besides...

you don't want it to get
all wrinkled for tomorrow.

Mm-hmm.

Come on, off to bed.

I'm so proud of you, you know?

Yeah, I know.

Do you know why?

Why?

Because you're
the bravest person I know.

I am?

Absolutely.

A month ago,
you were just a regular kid,

and now you're a magician,

with a cape and everything.

Mike told me my job tomorrow

is to have so much fun on stage,

that everyone watching
will have fun along with me.

He said that's why
he liked performing with you.

Because you were the most fun.

He said that?

-Mom.
-Hmm?

I'm all tucked in.

Can you please
turn off the lights?

Yes. Great. Yes. Sorry.

[smooch]

-Love you.
-I love you, buddy.

We've been waiting an hour.

I've got a train to catch.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

-Come on in.
-Thank you.

I'm sorry we're starting late.

Things always get crazy

the last business day
before the break.

I'll get right to it.

You're not canceled--

yet.

The guy who wanted
to cancel the show--

he's gone.

We want to keep the show,

but only if we can find a way
to freshen it up.

That's great.

We're very happy
to get a second chance.

[♪♪]

My flight doesn't leave
until 8:00,

so why don't we start now?

We've got some great ideas.

Great. Let's hear them.

Okay...

a fresh new look.

I'm thinking we show
a more relatable side of him.

[♪♪]

We think we could utilize
the international locations

to draw a larger audience.

We've seen that before, though.

Let's circle back
to this doctor/lawyer thing.

I mean,
has that been done before?

Sort of like
a Jekyll and Hyde story?

Yes, Jekyll and Hyde!

I am so sorry,

but I have to go.

Mike, we are so close.

I know.

I know, and I'm sorry,

but, you see,

my family does this thing
on Christmas Eve,

and it's happening right now.

This show
meant everything to me,

and I'm so grateful
to you, Kathleen,

and to everyone at the network,

but this isn't where
I'm supposed to be tonight.

I'm supposed to be
with the people I love.

I really hope you give the show
a second chance...

but my second chance
is waiting for me upstate.

Merry Christmas.

[♪♪]

-It's Christmas!
-Here you go, guys.

Keep 'em coming.

I want to get this done.

Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you!

I'm so proud of you!

Welcome to the Christmas House!

Quite the night, my dear,
quite the night.

I'm so glad
that you're enjoying yourself.

Well, the clock
has last ticked its last tock,

which means I'm ready.

I'm sorry?

I'm ready to buy.

An all-cash offer.

Right now.

[♪♪]

An all-cash offer?

-Really?
-Wow.

It's an option on the table.

There might be a few more
by the time the night is over.

Who knows?

Has anyone heard from Mike?

Not yet.

Taxi!

It feels like yesterday
when that was you and Mike.

If you would have told me

I was going to be
moving back here

and doing magic
at the Christmas House,

I would have never believed you.

Life is full of surprises,
isn't it?

And we just have to
keep moving forward

to find out
what it's all going to be.

Oh, yeah.

[Mike clears throat]

Mike!

You ready?

Yes.

[sighs happily]

Ladies and gentleman,
gather round.

-Bring it on in!
-There he is.

-The show is about to begin.
-Let's see.

I am Majestic Mike,

and I would like you
to help me welcome to the stage

the astonishing,

the spectacular,

the neighbor
with all the tricks...

Noah the Nimble!

[applause]

The theme of tonight's show

is a little something
we like to call

Christmas Magic.

[♪♪]

[applause]

[♪♪]

[applause]

Oh!

[♪♪]

[crowd gasping]

And for our next trick,
we need a little help.

Care to join me?

I would love to.

[♪♪]

-Hi.
-Hi.

I'm glad you could make it.

[Bill] Shh.

Keep it down.

I'm getting into character.

Okay, you ready?

Yeah.

Ho, ho, ho!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!

[♪♪]

Ho, ho, ho!

I actually have one last trick.

You do?

Ooh!

Should I say some magic words?

It couldn't hurt.

I don't want you
to move back to L.A.

I'm not.

[Andi gasps]

May I?

You may.

I have waited a long time
to give that to you.

When you said
you weren't going back to L.A.,

what did you mean?

What happened in the meeting?

I don't know.

I left as soon as I realized
the life I want is here.

-Merry Christmas!

Have a seat.

So I have an update.

I'm sorry to say

that though there was
a lot of interest,

we didn't get any offers.

What?

What about Marvelous Jim?

He had a change of heart.

I guess his offer
magically disappeared.

-Oh.
-But-- but--

um...

there was a new offer
this morning,

and, um...

I think you'll be pleased.

Wow.

On Christmas Day?

You are good.

You?

You want to buy the house?

I do.

[Phylis]
But what about your work?

Kathleen's sold
a Handsome Justice spin-off

that's gonna shoot in New York,

so I can commute.

The life
that I want to come home to

at the end of the day

is right here.

And besides,

someone has to keep
all this going, don't they?

Oh!

Wow..

Well, offer accepted!

Okay, well, then I'll get
to the paperwork.

Congratulations.

-Merry Christmas.
-Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas!

[Brandon] We're gonna be able
to decorate this house forever!

-Merry Christmas.
-Merry Christmas.
