You're betterat parties.

I neededsome air.

Tell methat again.

I'm missingyou already.

If you don't want meto go to Paris I won't.

No.

I want you to followyour dreams.

You deserve this and this isan opportunity of a lifetime.

Just wasn'texpecting it.

I love you.

And a part of lovingsomeone is letting them go.

I'm notletting go.

Don't you get tiredof Christmas music?

No.

I find itinspiring.

Especially when doinga Christmas campaign.

Okay, so photos 9and 12 go to print.

And photos 11to 18 digital.

And use the filter from15 on all of them.

'Cause Christmas is supposedto be soft not blinding.

Okay, Got it.

And the text?

Instead of "So much holidayfun, "Snow much holiday fun."

Under the logo in thatcurly font that you like.

I need you to sendme proofs ASAP,

and make sure thatClaudia gets a copy.

Subtle hint to theboss that you want

a partnershipfor Christmas?

Just keeping herin the loop.

And a gentle reminderI'm the most loyal

and best ArtDirector she has.

You are theChristmas queen.

Everything okay?

Yeah, it's just someone usedto call me that in college.

You're blushing.

It must be agood story.

No it is hardlyworth telling.

Okay graphics, and I will meetyou in the conference room.

Hey, Claudia.

Is everything okay?

Brie, I need your Christmasmagic on a new project.

That sounds urgent.

Modern Era Bridal needsan emergency reshoot

on their upcoming "ChristmasWeddings" digital cover story.

What happened?

Marketing team theyhired was a disaster.

They've decided tocut their losses,

get ahold of someone who canpull off a fabulous shoot

in a very short time frameand your name came up.

Well I'm flattered,but weddings?

That's notreally my thing.

But you know Christmas,and how to capture it.

That's true but--

Then it's settled.

I'll close the deal.

They want a fulllaunch Christmas day.

Christmas?

That's like lessthree weeks away.

A shoot like thistakes at least a month.

That's why it's calledan emergency reshoot.

They've already startedteasing this campaign.

The show must go on.

Christmas is the number oneday for marriage proposals.

Exactly!

And when all thoseexcited brides-to-be

start planningtheir nuptials,

Modern Era Bridal wants to be the one setting the trends.

I do lovetrend setting.

And it's not anactual wedding.

It's one that just happensto looks amazing on camera.

Yes!

With all the things people need to pull off a Merry Matrimony!

Feel free touse that.

Okay, I'm going to need areally great photographer.

Done.

You'll be workingwith Eddie Chapman.

Wow!

He's like a huge fashion photographer.

His photo blog ofstreet portraits

is all the rage on Tumbler and Instagram.

He's flying in from Paris just for this.

We're very lucky.

Okay, well if he'ssuch the "rage",

why is he flyingall the way here

to do a Christmasshoot for us?

A favor to Isabella Elias,new CEO of Modern Era Bridal.

Word on the social sceneis they're very close.

Mr. Chapman will be hereto meet the team tomorrow.

If we pull this off, IsabellaElias has agreed to give us

an exclusive contractwith all access to--

Elias Publications.

No I got it; I cansee the big picture.

Good.

Then I'll have no problemconvincing the board to give you

that partnership you'vebeen not-so subtly hinting at.

Thank you.

Okay, well getto work.

Alright Stanley,hit it.

The season hasofficially begun.

Brie, Christmas is happeningin the living room,

not on thephone.

Sorry I'm done.

It's just this shootis so important

and I have so much to do beforemeeting with the photographer.

Oh you meanEddie.

It's not like youtwo are strangers.

Dad I haven't seenhim in seven years.

Might aswell be.

Be carefulhoney.

Old flames canreignite very easily.

No, him and I wouldhave never lasted.

He's toocarefree.

I need structureand stability.

I am so glad tohear you say that.

Do you rememberJared Galligan?

His family used to livedown the street from us

when youwere young.

Hear me out.

I ran into himlast week.

He is a handsomeman now.

Very smart.

Good, stable job.

Anyway, I told him you weresingle, and looking, and--

This is officially mynightmare before Christmas.

Give him a chance.

Life is about balance andit's time you added some love.

Morning.

Your momcalled.

She said it's myresponsibility to make sure

that you'reout by five.

She's adamant about this one--

Don't you daremake Jared wait.

He's a nice boy,I mean it Brie.

You want tokeep this?

No.

Message received.

My mom is trying to getme a fiancé for Christmas.

Here I am asking mymom for a coffee maker.

I know shemeans well.

Which is why I'm going togive Jared an honest chance.

Here's to momsknowing best.

That's why you'rewearing your lucky heels.

I thought it wasfor Eddie Chapman.

What are youtalking about?

You had an odd look on your facewhen his name came up yesterday.

Sit, we have a hugeshoot on our hands.

Let's focus onthat shall we?

Your make-uplooks different.

You contoured!

So what?

I have a dateafter work.

Is it toomuch?

Ahem.

Okay no, right now I needyou to get me a list of

the top bridaldesigners--

Already doneand drop boxed.

Jared is at 5 pm, whyget so glam before 5?

What's is going onwith Eddie Chapman?

We datedat NYU.

And?

And he went to Paristo get his masters

and I stayed inNew York.

Just a typical long distancerelationship causality.

Now he's back andyou're single.

As of now.

But who knows, maybe Jared'smy husband Mr. Right,

Prince Charming.

Excluding thatpossibility.

This could be a twist of fate,a second chance at love.

No, fate twistedus for good reason.

To have careers like wehave it takes a lot of time

and dedication.

We would havenever lasted.

True.

You worked yourway up from intern

to partner inseven years.

That's impressive.

May not have happenedlike that in Paris.

Because of thelanguage barrier.

Not talent,of course.

Partnership is stillto be determined.

Which is why Ican't have anyone

in the officeknowing about Eddie.

Especially Claudia, Idon't want her to think

that I would let my personallife affect my business.

It's just reallyunprofessional.

Don't worry.

It's in the vault.

Thank you.

Oh hey!

Come here!

Where is he?

Claudia interceptedhim at reception.

We're supposed to meetthem in the conference room.

I thought you cared aboutthe project, not Eddie?

Doesn't mean Ican't look nice.

You do look nice.

Okay, yeah.

Let's do it.

I look forward to workingwith your team,

I've heard great things.

Yeah well, you're gonnabe impressed, I think.

Brie, it's goodto see you.

Oh it's nice tosee you too.

You two knoweach other?

We went to collegetogether at NYU.

Right.

We workedtogether before.

Student newspaper.

Brie, why didn'tyou say so?

I forgot.

My mind was flooded sowith Christmas ideas.

From table settingsto decorations, cake.

She is theChristmas queen.

Is she ever.

Well with the time crunch we need to pull off

our own Christmasmiracle.

And that's exactlywhat I'm hoping for.

Sorry I'm late.

Isabella, meetmy team.

Our Art Director;Brie Traverston.

Hi.

And her assistantMegan Hocking.

How do you do?

I cannot thank you two enoughfor taking on this challenge.

I mean I was beginningto think that

saving this campaignwould be impossible.

Well after ourshoot every bride

is gonna want to haveChristmas wedding.

Good and maybe we can inspirea some proposals as well.

Oh excuse me, Ihave to take this.

Now I am travelingall next week,

but Eddie knows howto get a hold of me.

And the fact that Ilike to give my opinion.

And we'll talk aboutyour art show later.

I'll show you out.

Thank you.

I have few phone callsof my own to make.

Eddie, welcometo the team.

Thank you.

I'm really happyto be here.

I'll checkin later.

So.

So, let'sget started.

Great, thank you, I'll let them know.

Spoke to Vanguardstudios.

They've only gotWednesday, Thursday,

Friday opennext week.

Okay good let'sbook them.

We can definitelyshoot the reception there.

Studio will beeasy to light.

What aboutthe ceremony?

I have some ideasfor the locations.

Not a studio though,something more scenic.

So, okay, if we shoot thewedding ceremony next week

and are no delays, we canget the photos uploaded

to Modern EraBridal early.

Yeah, but ourdeadline's the 24th.

Yeah, but that doesn'tmean you should

just push it to thelast second.

That makes itmore exciting.

No that givesyou an ulcer.

Some thingsnever change.

No wonder you're atthe top of your game.

Not that I'msurprised.

Well you haven't done toobad for yourself either.

That sounds like you'vechecked in on me.

Or at leastseen my work?

I readmagazines.

So, classmates huh?

I always thought it was alittle bit more than that.

Look my partnershiprides on this campaign.

I want Isabella and Claudiato know how serious I am

and that work isnumber one.

Partnership?

Brie that's great.

Congratulations.

Well I don'thave it yet.

You will.

I have faithin you.

Thanks.

So you understandwhy the past

has got to stay inthe past right?

Right.

Can't change that.

Okay good.

So, these are someof the locations.

I'm leaning towardsthe Davenport.

What doyou think?

Weddings aren'treally my thing so

whatever you think'sromantic and available.

We'll make itbeautiful.

I guess it's allriding on availability.

Without that, youreally can't commit.

Yeah, but sometimes youneed to visit the location,

let them knowyou're serious--

About shootingthere.

Yeah, but if a locationhas a verbal agreement,

and then all of a suddenjust changes their mind.

They can't expecta production

just to change the entireconcept just like that.

Locations shouldbe considerate.

Everything okay?

Wonderful.

Great.

Brie, it'sfive o'clock.

Thanks forthe time.

Oh it's fiveo'clock.

I totally forgot,I gotta go.

Why?

I have a date.

A meeting--

I didn't meana date--

A meeting that'sa dinner date.

Well, you have fun, andsee you ladies tomorrow.

How's it goingfor real?

Weird.

Seeing him again.

But it's complicatedand I'm really late,

so call me if youneed anything.

It's gorgeous.

Yeah, uh, Iwoulda got roses,

but your mom said that youreally love Christmas.

Awe that's sothoughtful, thank you.

Yeah?

Oh I just, I can't getover how great you look.

Oh, thank you.

I mean, it's kinda crazy,last time I saw you,

you were wearing asuper hero swim suit,

laughing your waydown a slip 'n slide.

I had a superhero swim suit?

Oh yeah, yeah.

Pretty much madeyou the coolest.

I can't believe youremember that.

Yeah well I'm asponge for details.

Comes in handyas a pharmacist.

That's aninteresting job.

It can be.

Nothing too exciting,but great job security.

Unless I mixsomething up.

Which I don'tdo because---

You're a spongefor detail.

Exactly.

I'm starving.

Should we order.

Yeah of course.

Hot chocolate please.

Phil?

Eddie.

Hey man.

I can't believe it'sbeen like seven years.

Something youwant to tell me?

It's for the kids.

I'm still working on mysaint hood, thank you.

Something youwant to tell me?

It's for work.

Oh right,how's Brie?

I mean,how's work?

It's good.

So is she.

That's it?

Did you talk?

We're planninga wedding.

For Isabella'smagazine.

I don't know man.

I know you likeadventure,

but it's crazy mixingprofessional and personal lives.

Brie is on a dateas we speak.

So it's allprofessional.

She made thatcrystal clear.

So what now?

This wedding shoot couldget Brie a partnership.

Isabella's saleswill sky rocket.

Yeah, but whatabout you?

I still havemy show.

And New Yorkat Christmas.

Nothing betterthan that.

Well here's to having youhome for the holidays.

Cheers.

It's about time.

So, your Christmaswedding.

You're gonna have SantaClaus, Christmas trees?

Christmas trees, yes.

Santa Claus, no.

Why not Santa?

Because he's thislarger than life character.

He'll totallyupstage the bride.

Maybe.

Or what if he brings thebride and groom together?

You know, truelove for Christmas.

Yeah, I don't thinkso, that's a tall order.

Do you datea lot?

Uh, every nowand then.

You?

For a while there I wasdoing the online thing.

You know, a lot of firstdates, not a lot of seconds.

And then I thoughtenough's enough,

I'm gonna letfate handle it.

That's when Imet your mom.

So, point for fate.

You don'tbelieve in fate?

I believe that we makethings happen ourselves.

Okay.

So what do you dofor fun, besides work?

I love work.

I mean my mom is tryingto get me to have

a little bit moreof a balance.

How's thatgoing for ya?

I'm learning.

You know, but at work at leastI feel like I'm in control.

Love is risky.

You break your heartyou're never the same.

Well yeah, I mean nobodywants to get hurt.

But the wound is wherethe light gets in.

That'svery true.

Cheers.

Yeah.

Hey, mom.

Hey, honey.

How'd it go withJared tonight?

Angels didn't sing ifthat's what you're asking.

Are you gonnasee him again?

I am so busy with work rightnow and my schedule is crazy--

Brie, you have tomake room for love.

I'm trying.

But with Jared, I feel likeI'm gonna have to try too hard.

Give Jared a chance.

He seems to be veryinterested in you.

Mom, I'm not just gonna likea guy because he likes me.

I'm not telling you to, butit's a good starting point.

Yeah, I guess.

Is this because Eddie'sback in the picture?

Eddie is not back inany kind of picture,

I don't know whatyou're talking about.

Uh, anyway Igotta get to bed.

Sweet dreams,sweetheart.

I love you.

I love you too.

Lastly, have you checked on the Davenport?

I really need to lock it down for the ceremony.

Okay, yeah, thank you,call if you need me--

Oh Sorry, Santa.

Brie?

Phil!

Oh my gosh,how are you?

Wow!

You're Santa.

Well, one monthout of the year.

And the othereleven?

I work for them.

The Children'sCharity House.

Wow you really grew upto change the world.

By marriage at least.

Mrs. Claus.

My wife Julieand I.

Yeah, we startedthis a few years ago.

Having a blast,love these kids.

Hey, you and Eddie areback together again huh?

Working I mean.

Yeah, how didyou know?

Well we hungout last night.

Thanks forthe invite.

He told me youwere busy.

Look, let's rain check,and you can meet Julie.

I would love that.

Yeah, we do shoots duringthe days next week,

but the nightsare free.

Great.

I'll talk to Eddie.

It'll be likeold times.

Hey.

What are youdoing here?

Megan told me whereyou were headed.

Thought maybeI could help.

I have a goodeye for color.

I promise.

No poinsettias.

We can be morecreative than that.

Oh I love it.

Thoughtyou might.

Even after allthis time.

I still rememberpewter is your favorite.

Would you likea gold star?

Still funny too.

Good to see somethings never change.

I saw Philearlier.

He said you guyshung out last night.

He was my date.

Very romantic inhis Santa suit.

How was yourdate meeting?

Good.

Care toelaborate?

No not really.

Why?

'Cause I'man ex--

Classmate?

That was along time ago.

Yes, I understandyou're over the past,

so why not discussthe present?

Or we could just keep all thediscussions business related.

Fine.

Fine.

Hey.

What do you thinkabout pine cones?

Those are kindle conesand I love them.

If a fire's low, you justthrow one of those on a flame

and it rekindles it.

That's allit takes?

I think we could--

Use them in thearrangement.

Right.

Brings anearthy feel.

They're also greatparty favors.

Come here.

Come here.

Ta da.

Okay, so, we can put lights inthe tree, ribbon, a star on top.

So basically aregular Christmas tree.

But I havean idea.

I want the bride and groomto put a special ornament

on the treetogether.

The guests can put thegifts under the tree.

Yeah!

So is thisthe one?

Are wecommitting?

Not yet.

I want tobe sure.

Remember when I forced you togo camping in the Grand Canyon?

Okay for startersyou didn't force me.

It was cold and we hadreservations at a hotel.

Who needs five stars whenyou can have five million?

It wasgorgeous.

You're always pushingme to try new things.

And you pushed meto chase my dreams.

Why didn'tyou call?

I thought you weremad at me.

You know, especiallywhen you didn't show up

for Christmasin Paris.

You were the one who said youwere coming home for Christmas.

Then I got my firstgig and had to stay.

I could never geta hold of you.

You shouldanswer that.

Hello.

Hey Isabella.

So, how's itworking with Brie?

We have funtogether for a bit

and it starts tofeel like old times.

Then--

Crash andburn.

After school, I thought ifI could get one big job.

Make a name for myself,I could come back

and sweep Brieoff her feet.

We're all idealistafter graduation.

And then the realworld kicks in.

Christmas wasalways our holiday.

Is that why youcame back now?

Yeah.

I guess I'm hopingChristmas

will help softenany hard feelings.

I think it will.

I don't know.

I get the feeling shedidn't even miss me.

Well the first Christmasyou were gone Brie started

this thing called theChristmas wish tree on campus.

All the decorations were madeby people missing loved ones.

She wanted a way theycould still send their love

during theholidays.

She never saidanything,

but I think it's 'causeshe missed you.

I promised her myheart once, I meant it.

Hey, youat home?

Yeah.

Why?

I'm downstairs.

Downstairs, downstairs?

Yeah.

Can you buzzme up?

Umm--

Never mind.

Someone's coming, I'llsee you in a second.

Hey.

Come on in.

Still taking workhome I see.

Yeah, I'm sorry thisplace is such a mess.

It's nice.

Chocolat le chaud.

Sounds fancyin french.

Everything does.

Hope you don'tmind me stopping by.

Claudia gave meyour address.

Oh no of course.

Um, here, sit, makeyourself at home.

Thank youfor this.

About this afternoon,bringing up the past.

Yeah, I shouldn'thave done that.

I hate bickeringwith you, it's no fun.

I agree.

So we're okay?

Yeah.

Good.

Well I have some ideas torun by you for the shoot.

Ooh la la,what is this?

Your favorite.

Oh.

Thank you.

So what areyour ideas?

Here.

For the reception.

White lights, white drapedacross the ceiling,

like a starrynight sky.

I love that.

Luminaries accent eachtable, like moon light.

And a kind ofblue glow,

reminiscent of a lightmist at the break of day.

A winterwonderland.

Romantic?

Very much so.

So you thinkin light?

like romance, light is morethan just what you see.

It's a feeling.

It can becold, hot.

Somethingunexpected.

Well not everyoneloves surprises.

But that's whatChristmas is all about.

It's about alot of things.

You're right.

As usual.

I just want every picture tohave that intangible quality.

Almost hypnotizing, drawingyou in but you don't know why.

It makes youfeel something.

Like love?

Exactly.

Perfect for aChristmas wedding.

This is deliciousby the way.

I know we didn't endon the best of terms.

I'll take theblame on that.

Don't.

Our careers just took usin different directions.

Or continents.

That too.

It's fine.

I'm glad our pathsgot to cross again.

Me too.

It's Isabella.

I have to go.

Yeah, sure.

Of course.

Here.

Thanks.

Bye.

Bye.

Go have agreat time.

Thanks.

Morning.

Morning.

I see thedecorations arrived.

Yeah, the tree'salready at the studio.

So I want to get asmuch organized here,

so that we're notin the crew's way.

We have somuch to prep.

How's Isabella?

Good.

I filled her in overdinner last night.

She's excited tosee it come together.

Good.

I'm so happy we're doingthe reception next week.

The set-upis huge.

Did you lock aceremony location?

I did.

Davenport.

Megan has all the info, andwe've done a couple shoots

there in the past, and they'resuper easy to work with.

Perfect.

You're right.

We could finish thisahead of deadline.

That would makeIsabella's Christmas.

Well, providing there'sno major disaster.

And people say planninga wedding's hard.

Hi.

Jared!

Hey, what areyou doing here?

Sorry to interrupt,I found something

that might be usefulfor your wedding.

So I thought I'ddrop it off.

Thank you.

Oh It's beautiful.

You were how you wantedthe bride and groom

to hang anornament together.

I thought this maybe a nice option.

Very nice.

Oh, thank you, thatis so nice of you.

Oh, JaredI'm sorry.

This is Eddie Chapman,our new photographer.

Eddie Chapman, yeah,no, I know your work.

Your street portraitsare my favorite.

Thank you.

No, great work.

It's perfect.

Would it matterif they were?

No.

I'm just curious,that's all.

I mean she's soaffectionate with him.

They make such abeautiful couple.

Same way that you and Jaredmake a really beautiful couple?

Okay, that'scompletely different.

Jared and I don'teven know each other.

I wouldn't evencall it "dating."

Brie, do mea favor.

I haven't beenice-skating in like 15 years.

Okay.

You two areso cute.

You're soin love.

It like we'reconnected.

That's howit should be.

How's it going withyou and Eddie?

Great.

I mean at first I thought itwas gonna be a little awkward,

but it'sbeen fun.

I know whatyou're thinking,

but I'm not obliviousof our history.

Things aredifferent now.

And I'm up forthis partnership

and I am not gonnajeopardize that.

Well, just remember, sometimesyou can't stop the river.

Come on,let's skate.

Hey, whereya going?

I thought you had aprior engagement?

Was able toget out of it.

Skate with me?

Yeah.

Hey, Chapman,you made it!

I see why youlove this tradition.

I'm so goodat this.

There's something I'vealways wondered about.

The Christmasparty at NYU.

When I told youabout Paris.

You said you thought thesurprise was something else.

What was it?

Umm--

What doesit matter now?

Everything happened theway it was supposed to, right?

I guess so.

Okay, big smiles.

Oh, so cute.

Perfect.

Okay, I thinkwe have it.

Thanks kids foranother great day.

Thank you so much,they are adorable.

I think Isabella isgoing to love this one.

Guys.

The Davenportjust called.

They have atermite problem.

And they'refumigating next week.

No!

We can't losethe location.

That'll setus way back.

We still have to find abride and set design,

and Christmas Eve isless than two weeks away.

We don't even have timefor a location scout.

Did you trySt. George's?

Booked.

The Boathouse?

Definitely booked.

What about arooftop ceremony?

With the city skylineas a backdrop.

No, that'stoo risky.

We're gonna have toredesign everything.

This is adisaster.

Hey, I have theperfect place.

The mansion, where you hostedthe Christmas party at NYU.

I thought theytore that down.

No I know thenew owner.

I'll give him a call andsee if it's available.

If it is we can drive out tosee it after we finish up here.

Okay, but Megan,keep looking at places.

In case thisfalls through.

Of course.

It's gonna work out.

I can't believeit's still here.

The owner wasso depressed

that this place wasgonna get torn down.

He was hoping it's glory wouldlive on in our newspaper.

Oh it's just likeI remembered.

This is great.

Okay, visualize hanging lights,Christmas tree, the fireplace.

This is soperfect.

Thank you so muchfor saving the shoot.

All the stocking were hungby the chimney with care.

In hope that St. Nicholassoon would be there.

Then what to my wanderingeyes should appear?

A miniature sleigh andeight tiny reindeer.

A little old driverso lively and quick.

I knew in a momentit must be St. Nick.

And more rapid than eagleshis reindeers all came.

As he shouted on dasherand each reindeers name.

And so up to the housetopthe reindeers soon flew

with a sleigh full of toysand St. Nicholas too.

Down theChimney he--

Phil, I think you officiallyachieved Sainthood.

Via Saint Nick.

Still counts.

I'm so glad youguys could join us.

But sweetheart wehave to get going.

Three young ladies arewaiting for their dinner.

That's my cue.

It's good tosee you guys.

Let's get togetheragain soon.

Absolutely.

I had somuch fun.

Who says ithas to end?

It's Christmasin New York.

Let's get crazy.

Excuse me,can we get--

Table of two.

This is nice.

Not quite whatI expected.

Have you beenhere before?

I have, yeah.

With Jared.

Oh, Jared.

We never went on anydates anywhere this nice.

But in all fairness,we were students.

It wasn'ta date.

Really?

Okay, maybe itwas kind of a date.

Is this a date?

Um you tell me.

I will.

You were really greatwith the kids today.

I had never seenthat side to you.

I love kids.

Me too.

You know, this placeseems kind of stuffy.

It does,doesn't it?

And thischicken sucks.

Let's ditch this placeand get some pizza!

Okay.

That was a waybetter idea.

Carriage.

Come on.

Really?

Yes, really.

It's so icy.

Ah.

Watch your step.

Hi.

Hey.

Uh--

Party of two.

Party of two.

Central Parkmy good man.

Oh you're justfull of good ideas.

I can't wait.

I'm so excited.

Oh, 2004, I don't knowif I paid them enough.

Thank you.

Napkin?

Yes.

I love youridea of crazy.

This is the firsttime I've done this.

Well this is officially my firsttime on a carriage ride

through New YorkCity eating pizza.

Good.

I like sharingfirsts with you.

And thepizza right?

Oh yeah, New York'sPizza, New York's finest.

I wouldn't go that farbut it's definitely better

than that stuffy jointyou went with Jared.

Are youjealous?

Jared?

You so are!

Oh please!

You arejealous.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's just we never didanything like this before--

Paris?

Yeah.

Paris.

We should of.

I really should beworking right now.

Remember what I said aboutsavoring the moment?

So just stop talking aboutwork and savor with me.

Okay.

I'm savoring it.

Feels good, right?

This is so fun, I'mso glad we did this.

Me too.

Thank you.

Watch your step.

Alright.

Ta da.

Here you aremy good man.

Thank youvery much.

Thank you.

So what next?

I actually have togo see my family.

Tradition?

I get it.

Well, good night.

Good night.

Eddie!

I had funtoday.

Me too.

There she is.

Finally.

Hey.

Sorry I'm late.

Hey.

Your mominvited me.

Hope youdon't mind.

No.

I mean ofcourse not.

The more themerrier.

Dad can you passme scissors?

Uh, yeah.

I've never madeornaments before.

Well you're doinga really good job.

Every year we make theseornaments and we put a Christmas

wish on themfor the people

we're missing duringthe holidays.

Right.

So the idea is youhang the ornament

and the personreceives the wish.

Exactly.

You could have warnedme about Jared.

I tried, youdidn't answer.

Where wereyou today?

I was on acarriage ride--

With Eddie.

You still havefeelings for him.

That's not true.

Okay, I don't want tohave feelings for Eddie.

He's a wildcard and--

Unpredictable--

But you stilllove him.

It's okay honey.

Sometimes you need a second shotto know that the love is true.

Am I crazy?

No.

You're human.

I love you.

I love you too.

Do me a favor, letJared down gently.

Hi.

That wasfun, right?

Yeah, yeahit was.

Look Brie, I know that I'mnot what you're looking for.

I'm sorry.

You deserve someoneso special.

And she's out therelooking for you I promise.

How 'bout you?

Uh, it's toocomplicated.

How so?

Have you ever liked someoneand the timing's just been off?

Yeah, but the greatest lovestories all have obstacles.

Look at Romeoand Juliet.

Okay yeah, that didn'tturn out so well.

But what I meanis some stories

take a little moretime to unfold.

We have ahistory.

But I'm pretty surehe's with someone now.

She's this huge powerplayer in my industry,

and I do not wantto cross her.

I respect her.

Yeah but I would find outfor sure before I gave up.

But it could affect theshoot and my partnership.

There's no harm inseeking the truth.

Isn't love worththe risk?

Yeah it is.

Ooooh, Ilove this.

But it'snot white.

Oh not forthe shoot.

For me.

And at my age I'mnot fooling anyone.

Are you gettingmarried again?

No.

Second husband is akeeper, but if I did,

this would bemy dress.

Move over dresses,hello hat.

What doyou think?

It's definitely you.

Isabella.

Isabella, whatdo you think?

Everything isgorgeous.

Except for that.

Please don'tgo there.

Oh, no.

Wouldn'tdream of it.

You know, I think that I mightbe a Christmas bride next year.

Have you been bitby the love bug?

Is somebodyproposing?

Well, not yet.

But I think now thathe's back in New York,

we might finallybe able to commit.

And Brie, I really thinkthat your work inspired him.

We were looking atthe proofs last night,

and he started sayingall the right things.

Is this just a bridal partyor can anybody join?

We're just going throughdresses for the shoot.

What do youthink Eddie?

I like it.

Is that a folderof invoices for me?

Yes.

Plus some pictures Ithink you might like.

Great.

Would you like tocome to my exhibit?

The opening'stonight.

Yes!

Yes, everyone'sinvited.

I'm hosting it at agallery in Midtown.

Eddie's workis amazing.

Sure.

I'd love to.

Alright.

Hi.

You're late.

Fashionably.

Did you know whoEddie's talking to?

No, I didn'tnotice.

George McIntyre,the film director.

I love hismovies.

I cannot believehe's here.

Well you should haveEddie introduce you.

Do you thinkhe would?

Of course hewould, yeah.

Can you askhim for me?

What?

Why?

Because he's coming thisway and you're his favorite.

I'm going to thebathroom to touch up.

Ask him.

You made it.

I was gettingworried.

I wouldn'tmiss it.

And you drew quitean impressive crowd,

I mean a Hollywoodfilm director?

Yeah, I'm gladGeorge made it.

He flew infrom London.

Well Iunderstand why.

The shots areso beautiful.

I'm so proudof you.

So this is how you spentall of your holidays?

Every Christmas I wouldgo some place new.

But no matter where Iwent, there it was.

That Christmasenergy.

There's noescaping it.

Which is a good thing 'cause itmakes the world a better place.

Not so separate.

You know what I lovemost about your photos?

It's the joy.

It's like youcan feel it.

These two were strangers, buthe saw that she was shivering

and put a blanketover her.

I wish Iwas there.

I have to goplay host.

Look around,I'll be back.

Oh, do you mind introducingMegan to George?

She's ahuge fan.

Yeah, for sure.

I'd like to introduce you to a friend of mine.

George this is Megan.

Oh Megan isfantastic.

Megan has been instrumentalin our campaign.

You're my favouritedirector.

It's so nice tomeet you.

Hey do youhave a minute?

Uh, yeah sure.

I missed you lastnight at the party.

Oh I'm sorry.

I left a little early.

I had some workto finish up.

Shoot going well?

Yeah, hopefully the nextfour days run smoothly

and we'll be wrappedup by the 24th.

Excellent.

I spoke withIsabella last night.

She showed the picturesto a focus group.

The results wereoutstanding.

Really?

That's fantastic!

Here's thebest part.

She invited us to lunch withher father after the holidays.

Elias publications,here we come!

We're not at thefinish line yet.

But this is someof your best work.

Oh well wait until yousee the ceremony setting.

We're shooting atthis renovated mansion.

Picturesque.

The exteriors alone willjust take your breath away.

You and Eddiemake a good team.

Do I sense aChristmas crush?

No.

Oh, come on, theconnection is obvious.

There was never anythingbetween the two of you at NYU?

If Eddie and I were supposedto have a love story,

it would have happeneda long time ago.

And now he'swith Isabella.

What ifhe's not?

If I were you I'dlisten to your heart.

You may be surprised bywhere it might lead you.

Oh, hi, I--

Brie.

You're timingis impeccable!

We were just aboutto celebrate.

Is that anengagement ring?

Yes, I justgot it.

Oh.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Well, I don'twant to intrude.

I can talk toEddie tomorrow.

Brie!

Taxi!

Wait!

Merry Christmasto you too.

Brie canwe talk?

No.

You havecompany.

I don't even knowwhat I'm doing here.

I don't know whatI was thinking.

I thought--

Forget it.

What?

I don'tunderstand.

Can we talk aboutwhatever this is.

There's nothingto say.

Is she okay?

Hey.

Hey.

Helping Santa?

In a way, yeah.

I love it.

Think you can make sometime for the interiors now?

There was a problemwith our delivery.

They shorted uson the order,

and Eddie just wants tobrainstorm on how to fix it.

Yeah.

I'll be there inthere in a minute.

Is everything okay?

Did something happenthat I should know about?

No.

I'm fine.

Hey.

I've been waitingto talk to you.

Are these areall the lights?

Well, I havemore, but--

This is like nothingwe really discussed.

It's halffinished.

Yeah, I know, I'vejust been working

on gettingsome candles--

That's a firehazard scrap it.

I guess we could justshoot the exterior.

Really?

I mean, yeah we havea bride and a groom,

and there's nocongregation.

The outsides gonnabe beautiful.

It will be fine.

That's a little drastic,don't you think?

Brie give me achance to fix things.

Yeah?

We can move somelights over here

and still get our shotof the bride and groom

hanging an ornamenttogether like we discussed.

And I'd like to get ashot over by the fireplace.

Like this.

Just standinghere?

No, with the kindle cones in thebackground our bride and groom

can be gazingat each other.

I want their hands to beup, so you can see the rings.

And them looking deeplyin each other's eyes.

Like they'll neverlove another.

You don't like it?

If you can do this in thenext couple hours great,

otherwise we'll justshoot the exterior.

Modern Era Bridal hasalready started teasing the

Christmas wedding issue online,we can't drop the ball now.

I mean you sawthe interiors.

It's gonna take hours toset up, let alone shoot.

Our schedulesalready tight.

We can't even allow for anextra fifteen minutes for lunch.

If that's it then why theattitude toward Eddie?

Did he dosomething?

I thoughtall of this

was a sign that we weresupposed to be together.

That maybe wecould try again.

So like an idiot Idrove to his house.

What happened?

Isabella was there.

Wearing a ring.

Oh, Brie.

He wasn't just acollege boyfriend.

He was the one.

He was the loveof my life.

So I know it's childish, but Ican't be around him right now.

So could you please helpme get through this shoot

as painlesslyas possible?

Of course.

Thank you.

Have a goodnight folks.

Hey.

Brie, hey howare you?

I've been better, but I gotthe crew to donate some toys,

so in case Santa forgets agift, these are for the kids.

Thanks.

They keep talking aboutthe Christmas party.

You and Eddiemade an impact.

You two were the mostambitious people I knew.

A perfect match.

Yeah, well, whatbrought us together,

also toreus apart.

We weren'tmeant to be.

There must besomething still there.

Takes more than time tobreak that connection.

He's moved on.

What are yougonna do?

I have to moveon with my life.

I have to acceptit and be grateful.

And hey we planned abeautiful wedding.

Too bad it'snot real.

Yeah.

I guess dreamsnever are right.

You and I bothknow that's not true.

Maybe not,it's just--

It just feels likethat right now.

Oh hey, um can you makesure that Katie gets this?

Eddie bought itspecifically for her.

He went out theday after the party,

so kind of inspired me to domy own little mini toy drive.

Thank you.

Of course.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Claudia, hey, you don't usuallycome to set on shoot day.

I want to make surewe finish strong.

Isabella's coming too.

Apparently, withher new fiancé.

Oh, there theyare now.

George McIntyre?

I wanted totell you.

I saw them canoodlingat Eddie's art show.

She made me swearnot say anything.

In case it leaked to the press.

You know how socialiteslike to control the media.

Oh, Brie.

She's responsiblefor all of this.

I loveyour work.

We're planning aChristmas wedding.

I guess we couldfigure something out.

This way.

Oh, you'regonna love it.

Oh, Brie,you're kidding.

This isfantastic.

You did all this?

You were rightyesterday.

There was no pointin having the shot

if we couldn't makeit look perfect.

It's beautiful.

It's exactly whatI envisioned.

It's the perfectChristmas surprise.

I see youmet George.

I did, which wasalso a surprise.

I thought you andIsabella were--

A couple?
