Last day.

Good job!

- Good morning! - Good morning.

Meow.

Oh, I love it.

You do?

Yes. It's very you.

Oh good, because I got one for you and Stella.

Now you have three.

Hey, do you think she's gonna be on time today?

Uh, no, she beat me in today.

No way.

Yeah!

Oh, the green lights.

Good morning.

So you just sleep here now?

No, I uh, I was early, obviously.

You hate waking up early.

I hate traffic even more.

Oh, well hey, I'll see you at lunch?

Mmhm, yes. For sure.

- Ok. - Yeah. See you.

See ya later.

Whew.

Alright, for those of you who did not finish

your Christmas shopping yet, you guys are in luck,

because today we are making Christmas ornaments.

I know! How cute?

Ava, hey.

- Hey. - Hey.

Hi, Ben.

- Ah, whatcha go there? - Huh?

Oh, it's a new container, mostly for the cats.

Like, for the food left over at the bottom of the can.

I meant what'd you bring for lunch.

Presumably not cat food.

Ah, no. Chicken Caesar salad.

Ah, switching it up from the usual, I see.

Usual?

Yeah. Tuna salad.

Come on, we've been friends for almost five years now.

You don't think I notice how often you pack

a tuna salad sandwich for lunch?

Oh.

It's ok, my usual is a-

Turkey and pepper jack on sourdough,

salt and vinegar chips and a root beer

from the vending machine... by the canteen.

I think, yeah, I don't know.

No, that's pretty much it.

Oh, that's weird.

Yeah.

So, you heading out of town tomorrow?

No. No, my mom and aunt are coming into town for Christmas.

Ok, that's great.

Then you can make it to the Summit this year.

Summit?

Yeah, the Santa Summit. You know, the big celebration

that happens every year downtown.

- Oh, yes! - Yeah.

Yes, the one with all the...

- Santas. - Yeah, that's the one.

Ok, yeah. You and the history guys go every year, right?

We do. We do and it's always a good time.

You can't make it 'cause you usually have to leave town.

Yes. Oh, definitely that is... that's why.

So you're coming?

- Yes! Or, yes. I will. - Yes.

I wouldn't miss it.

Great. So I'm gonna go grab that root beer,

but I will see you, I'll see you later.

- See ya. - Yeah.

- Yup. - Enjoy the salad!

Oh...

Ho, ho, ho.

What is that?

What are you doing tomorrow night?

I don't know.

Glass of wine, warm bath and 9-13 hours of sleep...

I don't know.

Ok, well do you wanna do something?

I don't know, something... fun?

Not the thing with all the Santas.

Absolutely the thing with all the Santas.

The Santa Summit.

I, uh... can't.

Stella! Come on!

Let's go out. Let's have some fun.

What?

Is that a Santa costume?

Yeah, I was just telling Stella

that we should all go to the Santa Summit.

She's not gonna be interested.

Yeah, I'm interested.

What? Why, it could be fun.

Three of us, out there, you know, enjoying the festivities.

Mm.

This wouldn't have anything to do with Ben going

to the Santa Summit, would it?

Is Ben going? 'Cause, I didn't know that.

Here's a great idea.

Why don't the three of us... ok, get ready,

...get together and have an excellent, crazy brunch.

Brunch?

Nico's seeing someone.

Already?

Oh, no.

It's been three months.

But you dated for two years.

He's getting out there, you know?

Why am I not?

Ok and you, Stella, come on.

Ever since they made you move from music to English

you haven't been the same.

You guys, I just, I really wanna find that... that thing.

You know, that thing that makes me feel alive.

Get's me excited for the day. Don't you want that?

Don't you miss that feeling?

Come on, please, let's go. Let's get back out there.

Let's find that thing...

Yes!

Sorry. Sorry, Julia, that was...

- Blow off some steam. - Yes.

I'm on the wrong side of 30.

I'm not trying to blow off steam,

I'm trying to preserve all the steam that I have left.

Ok, no. No.

I am not gonna be on that dance floor alone, ok?

I need my wing ladies.

I'm not a wing lady anymore. I am a home lady.

I am in.

- Come on, Stella. - Please?

Stella!

Un-huh.

It'll be fun. It'll be an adventure.

The way you say "adventure" sends a chill down my spine.

Please stop that.

Please... please...

Ok, I will go if you stop dancing.

Great.

Liam, Liam!

Hey!

Can you believe I got the last parking spot?

It's a Christmas miracle!

Yes! Yeah, it is.

- Are you excited? - I'm excited.

So excited?

If you let go of me.

- Ok. - Alright.

Oh man, the Santa Summit!

I'd always seen these crazy pictures on social media

but I never thought I'd actually get to partake in it.

Well, you moved here at the perfect time.

It's a great opportunity to see downtown.

Hang out with my big bro.

Do a little networking.

Do a little... wait, networking?

Yeah, all these businesses downtown here,

they're always looking for renovations.

I know all these guys, it's just gonna be a quick hello.

Uh huh.

Are you trying to make this a business trip

'cause you wanna write the whole thing off on your taxes?

No. No, I want to introduce them to my newest employee.

My little brother.

But seriously, keep those receipts

'cause we are absolutely writing this off.

That's what I thought.

I just want to make sure that you're prioritizing

fun over business today.

This is the first time since I moved to town

that we've been able to hang out,

just me and you.

Don't worry about it.

My wife's watching the kids

and it's just you and me all day, all night.

This is my vacation, baby.

I'm excited. I'm excited for all this.

You know, I think of my old town,

my old job and this is just a thousand times better for me.

A thousand seems like a slight exaggerations.

Seven hundred times better.

Alright.

Look, I just want to say thank you, again.

You know, when I said I was looking for something new

and you suggested I come out here and work with you,

it meant a lot to me.

Alright, alright, yeah. Yeah, you're welcome.

And I know you don't like it when I get sentimental.

If you know I don't like it then why you gotta do it?

- I gotta do it. - You don't gotta do it.

I love you, Mac.

And I'm uh... fond of you.

I'll take it.

Ok. Thats... Alright.

Ok, let's just go drink some cider, okay?

Drink some cider!

Drink some cider!

- Santa Summit! - Santa Summit!

Santa Summit!

I didn't know it would be so crowded.

Does everyone start here?

I don't know, let's see if it says something.

Oh, ok. The Santa Summit started at Old Richards in 2005

with a simple special, come in dressed as Santa

and receive half off on drinks.

Oh, is the history lesson over?

Oh, ha, ha, ha.

Hey, you see that funeral home across the street?

Yeah.

I redid their showroom.

Dude, you should have seen it before.

It was depressing.

Oh, you lightened up the place, did ya?

I did, yeah.

Yeah, I hear people are just dying to get in there.

Oh, that's good. That's good.

You can joke all you want,

but don't be surprised if business owners

bring it up today.

'Cause, you know, it's pretty impressive.

Yeah, well nothing says fun Christmas party

like talking funeral homes and doing business.

Ok, but what you call doing business,

I call sharing some laughs and shaking some hands

and drinking eggnog

and drinking cider and drinking eggnog...

You said eggnog twice.

I really like eggnog.

Good source of protein.

Look, you're gonna have fun, I promise.

Oh, I am definitely having fun, ok?

I'm gonna deck the halls, jingle the bells,

rock out around the Christmas tree.

I just need to make sure you're having fun too.

I don't want you spending all day

trying to win over potential clients.

It's not gonna take me all day if you help out.

Just show 'em that Liam smile.

You mean this one?

Yeah. Yeah, that's the one.

Ok. Alright.

So just a little networking, that's all I ask.

Little networking, lotta fun.

Pow!

Ok, what time does this thing start?

12:00PM.

That's in like five minutes.

You said we weren't gonna be late.

Well, put your beard on.

How long do I have to wear this thing for?

Just put it on. Alright? It's part of the fun.

It's like a masquerade ball.

What do you know about masquerade balls?

What don't I know about masquerade balls?

Santa Summit!

Santa Summit! Santa Summit!

Come on, let's get into it!

- Santa Summit! - Santa Summit!

Santa...

Summit.

Santa.

Summit.

Ok wait, I think they're going. Come on!

No, no, no... You're coming.

- Santa Summit. - I don't think I can do this.

Santa Summit! Santa Summit! Santa Summit! Santa Summit! Santa Summit!

Oh, oh! Yes, yes.

Wait, wait, wait, wait. I don't have my wallet.

I can't find my... I don't have my wallet.

What?

I don't... I think I dropped it, you guys.

I gotta go look for it.

- Wait, but... - No, I'm sorry.

No, no, it's ok. It's ok. Stay. I'll be back!

I don't wanna stay!

Ok, wait here. I'm gonna go get drinks.

You're gonna go look for Ben.

- No. - Yes.

- Wrong. - Right, right!

I... I know that... I know that face, Ava!

See man, I told you we should have gotten here earlier.

- Are you kidding me? - Alright, look, there's Rick.

Ok, come on, let's go.

You go ahead. I'll catch up, ok?

Yeah.

Did anyone lose a purse? A wallet?

Lose something?

Oh my gosh. Oh my... Thank you!

Nah, don't mention it.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Ah!

It's a cool wallet.

Oh, thank you. Actually, I designed it.

What is it?

Your house where you grew up, or?

Oh, no, I wish. No, it's a dream house, really.

I moved a lot growing up

so I never really had a place that felt like home.

Yeah.

So, I figured I would make something

to help me see the dream.

The power of manifestation, you know?

So, what's on it?

Ok, so it's a Spanish style.

Uh huh.

And a little tire swing in front.

I love a good tire swing.

- Right? They're so much fun. - Mmhmm.

And a little bird bath.

Can't have dirty birds in the yard.

No, you cannot. It would not be seemly.

Mmhmm.

And then there's actually a pool out back,

but you just can't see it.

You didn't stitch the back of the house

on the back of the wallet?

You know, now that you say that

I am very embarrassed that I didn't do that.

Well, you are in luck 'cause I build houses.

So, whenever you're ready to make that dream house happen,

let me know.

Well, wait... promise?

Santa's honor.

Is that a Christmas tree?

- This? - Yeah.

Ah, no, but I should doodle maybe like a little star on top.

Just for today.

That would be very festive, actually.

Yeah. It's a pine tree.

Oh. Why a pine tree?

I'm a builder so I work with wood a lot.

Pine is a soft wood but it's more durable than most.

Oh.

- Let me explain. - Ok.

Uh, the last couple years I've been working in my hometown

for a company that buys old houses

and fixes them up.

Oh, are you the fixer?

I'm a fixer!

You're a fixer. Ok.

But, you know, I just found myself

working too hard, you know? Fixing too much.

Mm.

And I got burnt out,

so, I wanted to switch things up, you know?

Yeah.

Make room for something new.

So how'd you do that?

I made time for things in life that I love.

Like talking to family, or traveling.

Or revealing your soul to complete strangers.

Yeah. Yeah, that too.

And so, you know, eventually I found myself here.

You know, new town, new job. New perspective.

It's been quite a ride.

Honestly, I cannot imagine how tough it must be

to just pick everything up

and start all over again. It just, it sounds so scary.

It was scary.

Opening yourself up is always scary.

But it's the only way to let something good in, you know?

So, uh, that's why I got this three weeks ago.

Oh.

To remind me that, you know,

vulnerability doesn't mean sacrificing durability.

Ok. Let me get this straight.

You are a guy who rescues women's wallets...

Mmhm.

And allows himself to be vulnerable.

Oh, it's easy, you know? Bearing your soul to a stranger.

You may never see them again.

That'd be a real shame.

Yeah.

In this case, I think it would be.

Oh, thank you, kind sir. That looks delish...

Best spot in here, am I right?

I love sitting to the side so I can see everyone at once.

All together, the full expression of Christmas spirit

in one place at one time.

You call this Christmas spirit?

What do you call it?

Herd mentality.

Just as I thought.

We've got a Christmas hater on our hands.

I don't... I don't hate Christmas.

Well, I challenge you to say

something nice about Christmas then... right now.

Out of all the holidays,

Christmas easily has the best marketing team.

That's good. That's very good.

I can't be mad about that.

I challenge you to say something negative about Christmas.

Um, well it doesn't last all year.

It is taking all my strength to keep my eyes

from rolling into the back of my head.

You've done an impressive job

of shaving off all that green fur, Mr. Grinch.

You know what really drove the Grinch to steal Christmas?

What?

Loud parties.

A loud party also 'causes his heart to grow

three sizes on Christmas morning, eh?

Wow.

Ulgh.

Cheers.

You know, the Grinch should really see a cardiologist

because a swollen heart sounds unhealthy.

Eh?

No, thank you.

Ok, ok, um... Just curious here.

Mmhm.

Just roll with me here.

I'm rolling.

Alright.

On the count of three, say your favorite food, but don't think.

Just answer.

- Ok. - Ok?

Ready? One, two, three.

Tacos.

- No! - What?

That was lucky. That was lucky.

Ok, uh, movie. Favorite movie.

- Ok. - Ready?

Ok.

One, two, three.

Casablanca.

- What? - Did you say Casablanca?

Yeah. That's your favorite...

- That's my all time... - ... all time favorite.

Ok, last one.

- Ok. - Ok.

Yeah.

Favorite drink?

Whatever you buy me.

I was hoping you'd say that.

Santa Summit!

Santa Summit! Santa Summit!

Hey, watch it, buddy.

Oh my god, are you alright?

Oh, yeah. You ok?

I'm fine.

Sorry.

You ok?

So sorry, it's my fault.

- Come on. Let's get you a drink. - Yeah.

Have you had too much eggnog? I'm a married man.

Oh. What? No. No, no, no, no, no.

Ok.

It's so good to meet you.

Uh, meet you?

Yeah. Um, I'd love a mulled wine.

Hey, I thought you were buying me a drink?

You know, I think there's been a mix-up.

Jordin? Jordin!

Oh! Hi.

Where have you been?

Oh, my gosh, I just met the most amazing guy.

Oh, those exist?

Yeah, apparently.

Well, what happened?

Ok. So, he found my wallet and then we got to talking.

But I just don't know what his face looks like

because we had our beards on.

You didn't see his face?

No.

What's his name?

Oh. You know what? I don't know.

Great start.

No, um, okay, but we walked in together.

And he was gonna buy me a drink

but then we got separated because it's so crowded in here.

You're telling me.

Oh, but you know what? He has a tattoo.

Yeah, of a pine tree. Under his sleeve.

Yeesh.

Right here. So that's helpful.

That's gonna be like finding a needle in a Santa stack.

Just keep on walking. Alright, thanks.

- Hey! - Hey.

Saved you a seat.

I had to beat up a Santa for it, so...

- I met a girl. - What?

I know.

Ok, tell me about her.

Who is she, what does she look like?

I don't know. We had our beards on.

Wait, why aren't you wearing yours?

Dude, I'm drinking eggnog.

You know how hard it is to get eggnog out of a beard?

Why didn't take your beard off

when you were talking to her?

Because you said it was like a masquerade ball.

I thought it was required.

Ok, fine. So, you got her name, right?

- No. - Number?

- No. - Good start.

But where's Ava?

I don't know, she went to... Oh! Hey! Speaking of...

- Hey. - Hi!

- Ava. - Hello.

- Hi. - Hi.

You find Ben?

- I was not looking for Ben. - Right.

I was just trying to get a drank.

The lines are so long, it is literally impossible.

Oh it's so weird.

Couldn't find him.

Well, Jordin found a guy.

What?

Yeah, no, but I lost him.

'Cause I don't know, it just, it all happened so fast, so...

You are gonna find him again.

Ok, but how?

Because tonight is a very, very special night.

There's romance in the air.

Yeah, nothing says romance

like a bunch of randos crammed in a pub.

Ok.

Look, if you two are meant to share something special,

he will find you.

Ok. Ok, you know what?

You're right. You're right.

See, I knew that tonight would be an adventure.

I told you.

Alright. Finish that cocoa.

Let's blow this Santa stack.

Wait, no, no, no. What if my Santa's still here?

What if he's moved on?

Oh. Ok, that's a good point.

What's the next stop?

Harbor Sushi.

You know maybe they'll be eggnog with a wasabi rim.

Yum.

Yum.

You know, I gotta use the little Santa's room.

You go.

- Ooh, sorry. - Sorry.

*... sing Happy Christmas ♪

Oh, hey, hey, hey!

We should take one of the carriages out to the sushi spot.

It is about a mile to the next stop after that one.

Now, wouldn't it make more sense

if there were eight reindeer on a bike?

Yeah. Yeah, it would.

I know Christmas... kind of.

So what's after Harbor Sushi?

Oh, ok, after Harbor Sushi

we go to Nashville's, the country western bar,

and then we go to Katy's Hill for some sledding.

Sledding?

What is this, the Winter Olympics?

There's no sledding in the Winter Olympics.

There is bobsledding.

Bobsledding isn't sledding.

Tell that to the guys from Cool Runnings.

Who?

Cool Runnings?!

Ok, ok, and then we go to the Santa sing-along

and after that we go to the Den.

What's that?

Ok, so it's this cool warehouse club

where apparently they are doing a silent disco.

Oh, now that is the best kind of disco, if you ask me.

Are you done?

Okay and then they're also doing gingerbread house making

for those that are not so into dancing.

I love gingerbread houses.

I love not dancing!

Ok, and then, then finally we go to Brady Park

for the tree lighting ceremony and the live concert.

Oh wait, no, sorry, followed shortly thereafter

by Stella's favorite part of the whole Santa Summit.

What?

The Uber ride home.

Alright, ok.

Well, I'm already exhausted, but...

Yeah, no, come on!

This is the best part about Christmas.

Everybody getting together and having fun.

This way no one has to be alone.

Bottoms up.

Oh, no, no, no. The lady said in the drink.

- In the... ok. - Yes.

Yeah.

- There. - Oh, cool.

- Wow! - And then this.

- Ah! - So cool.

Wowza.

He's not here.

How can you think about a guy when there are

little miniature in volcanos in front of your face?

Because he's sensitive and sweet and...

Oh, those eyes.

You guys, I am telling you.

There was a spark between us that I have not felt in

like I don't even know how long.

Ok, let's just be honest here, for a minute.

I mean, you just spoke to him for what, a couple minutes?

Yeah.

Didn't see his face, you don't know his name.

I mean you can't even Google him

to see if he has a criminal record.

Well, that's true.

I think it's exciting.

What is?

You get the three of us together like old times

and something good happens to you right away.

It's an omen.

It's a sign ok, that tonight is going to be

a very magical night.

I don't mean to rain on your parade,

I just think that maybe it might be best

to just keep a level head about this.

Yes, ok, there is a chance that wherever he is tonight

he's not even thinking about me.

The wallet had her dream house sewn onto it.

I mean, she's artistic.

And, she knows what she wants, you know?

And those eyes, I'm telling you.

There was a spark between us that I haven't felt in ages.

So, like I was saying.

The rates of other contractors in town versus us,

there's no comparison.

So, you know, if you're looking around your pub

and you're thinking something is a little more old and worn out

then you'd like it to be, think of me.

Ain't that right, Liam?

That's right, when you think of old and worn out,

think of my brother.

Oh! Ow.

Anyhoo. Here's my card.

Enjoy the rest of the Summit.

It's a great party, as always.

Hey, can I also get a receipt for these drinks?

What was that?

You asked if I had any thoughts.

That was one of my thoughts.

About renovations!

This guy doesn't care about some girl you just met.

She's not...

Ok, look. I'm sorry, ok?

I haven't met a girl in a while where things just, they clicked.

And I guess I got carried away. I want to help you, I do.

I'm excited we're working together

and, I mean, you gave me the job.

You helped me.

Please, it's nothing.

No, it's not nothing. It's something.

Doing nothing would be nothing. This is... this is something.

You're right.

There it is.

You said she's not. She's not what?

She's not just... some girl.

Yes!

Finally.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Okay. What do we think this one is?

Partridge in a pear.

Ah. Yeah, okay, I understand that.

That explains, actually.

This one...

Five golden rings. That's pretty clever.

One ring to rule them all.

No, no, no. You can't do

the Lord of the Rings thing or you can't get the cookie.

Don't...

Yeah. Fine, I'll eat this one.

Ok, Jordin. Jordin. Earth to Jordin.

Yeah.

Ok, I know Ava is

the mathematician here, not me, obviously,

but I think the odds of you randomly finding

the love of your life here, it's just, it's incredibly thin.

Aw. You don't need to be such a Grinch.

That's funny, that's what I called her.

Oh, no.

Is this your friend?

No.

Just met him randomly an hour ago.

Oh.

And he calls you a Grinch. I like him already.

Don't you have, you know, friends

that you can be bothering instead of me and my friends?

Well they work in the event. I'll meet up with them later.

Hey, nice artwork.

Thanks.

Anyways, if you see any empty seat here I'll be happy to move.

Uh, hey, anyone wanna switch?

Turns out the only empty seat in the house is by you.

It's a Christmas miracle.

Bah humbug.

I'm Freddie. I didn't catch your name.

It's Stella.

Stella. You look like a Stella.

What does a Stella look like?

Like someone trying really hard

to pretend they aren't having fun

even though the cookie crumbs on her Santa suit

suggest otherwise.

So what do you do, Stella? Tell me.

We're all teachers.

She's art, she's math, I'm English.

That's great.

She's not really English. She taught music till this year.

Oh, and she has the most beautiful singing voice.

No, no, no.

Yes, she does.

Really?

Yeah.

Well, it's the perfect night to sing some carols.

Bring some of that Christmas spirit to everybody.

The Christmas cheer.

Yeah, as much as I would just love to stay and chat with you

about the Christmas spirit,

we actually, um, we need to get going

if we want to get to Nashvilles. So, let's um...

You want to go to Nashvilles?

Yes. I want to go to Nashvilles.

You said you didn't.

No, I wanted to go to- that's all I want to do.

I just want to go to Nashvilles and get my dancing boots on.

Well, if I don't see you again, have a merry Christmas.

Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, you too.

- Nice to meet you. - Nice meeting you.

Bye.

Wow, ok. You got out of there in a hurry.

Well, you know, the one thing I cant stand is people who...

Is what? People who have fun?

People who encourage you to have a good time?

People.

Ok, you know what? Speaking of fun.

Um, excuse me?

Hi. Is there anyway you could take us to Nashvilles?

Yeah, sure. Hop on in.

Really?

Here we go.

Woo!

Is this safe? This doesn't look...

Wait, was that Ben? I think that was Ben.

Stop the carriage.

Really? Was he wearing a Santa outfit?

Yes, he...

Ok. Do you need me to stop?

Argh! No.

I don't wanna lose you guys.

I'm not gonna be able to find you all night.

Ok. No, you're right, no.

I've already lost one person tonight,

I am not gonna lose another.

Yeah.

Probably just some other hot Santa anyway.

'Cause I could just turn around...

No, no, no. We're not stopping.

Has that guy Freddie really got you that rattled?

I'm not rattled.

No, you're not rattled 'cause we're having fun.

'Cause we're all together. Right?

- Yes. - Fun.

So I'm going?

Yes.

Could you help out with the peddling, please?

Are you gonna help out with the payment?

Isn't this costing us like four bucks.

Favorite movie?

Frozen.

Uh, excuse me, can we sit here?

- Oh yeah, go for it. - Thank you.

Hey.

Man, these are like works of art.

Uh-huh.

Dude that owns this place

partners with the Santa Summit

with the Desserts on Main.

Oh, wow.

So, uh, you know, I got a call from SpaceX.

They offered me this huge contract

to build a colony on Mars.

Oh yeah? Is it open-concept?

I'm sorry.

I just have this feeling that she's close, you know?

Well I have these eyeballs that tell me it's gonna be impossible

to find her in a place like this.

You don't even know anything about her.

I do, okay? I do.

I know she likes tacos and I know she likes Casablanca.

That doesn't help us at all.

And she has the wallet with the needlepoint house sewn onto it.

Hey, I know her.

You do?

- Yeah. The needlepoint wallet? - Yeah.

I just met her. She's an art teacher.

She was here, you know, before you guys got here.

Yeah, uh, when did she leave?

Two minutes ago, three tops.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Thank you!

Where, where are you going?

Thanks a lot, pal.

You're welcome. Merry Christmas.

Hey, Liam, hey! Where are you going?

Where am I going? Where am I going?

Where are we going, Mac?! We're gonna go find her!

She's only three-minutes ahead. I'm going to catch her.

How? How are we gonna find her?

You don't even know what she looks like.

I know, I know.

Our entire life, you've always gone out of your way

to help people, right?

Yeah, and me and mom and today this girl with the wallet.

You help random strangers on the street.

And I'm trying to reach that level, I really am.

It's one of the reasons why

I wanted you to come out and work with me.

I knew that if the shoe was on the other foot,

that you'd do the same thing.

So I do want to help. I really, really do.

I just... I don't want you to get invested

if the odds of finding this girl are a thousand to one.

A thousand seems like a bit of an exaggeration.

Ok, 700.

So you're saying there's a chance.

Look, if you want to help me out then lets go to the next spot.

We can meet with these owners whenever we want.

Today is the only chance I get to find her.

Fine. Fine, you win.

Yes!

Let's go to Nashvilles.

Faster! Faster!

I am going as fast as I can.

My god.

Hey, Ava, I thought you were gonna dive out of that carriage.

Please do not dive out of the carriage.

We're not.

Hey, you have Ben's number. so why don't you just text him?

- I did. - Yeah.

He hasn't texted me back.

Why isn't he texting me back?

Maybe his phone's on silent.

Yeah, or maybe he's out having a boy's day.

Yeah, maybe he's just not that into me.

No.

You know, a non-response is a form of a response.

- Who is talking to you? - Really?

Anyway, it's driving me crazy. You know, the not knowing.

I mean, is it all in my head or maybe he's just shy, or...

Is it... ugh. Maybe I should.

Maybe you should what?

Maybe I should tell him that I'm in love with him.

I have been for years now.

What if he doesn't feel the same?

Yeah.

I've been scared of that since I met him.

I mean, I thought, he's not gonna be interested.

I thought we'll just be friends. That'll be that.

But, that wasn't that. Actually made it worse, really.

He's so nice and he always makes me feel like

the only person in the room

and I just... I can't keep interpreting looks

and texts and silences and wondering what he's thinking.

I have to get it all out there.

You know, once and for all, just good or bad.

Hey, good for you.

How will I know if it's like the perfect moment?

Well...

The world will go into slow motion.

It'll feel like everything else melts away

except for the two of you.

And you'll look into his eyes...

and you'll feel like crying

'cause you've never seen anything so beautiful.

And you'll never want that moment to end.

That's it, that's the moment.

Wow, that was really beautiful.

That was pretty good, actually.

Anyway, we're here. This is Nashvilles.

So, get out!

Next fare.

Oh.

This, this is it?

Out, out, out. $4 in the cup, please.

Thank you for riding Dasher's Ride.

Wait, $4 in the cup!

Alright, next fare.

Oh, uh, yep. Come on in, buddy. There you go.

Oh, that was something else.

Alright, ladies, pew! First round's on me.

You're definitely gonna come back

with drinks this time, right?

Definitely. Maybe.

What does that even mean?

Hey, what is it about the holidays

that just puts romance in the air. You know?

Ava has Ben, I have my mystery Santa...

I have a back ache.

Ok. You are having fun and you know it.

I've made peace with the whole day.

I was gonna come, dress up, support you,

be annoyed the whole time,

go home, take a bath and sleep until noon tomorrow.

I had a plan.

You didn't have to come, you know?

Please... we haven't been out like this since,

well, maybe since before you and Nico were together.

What?

No. Has it really been that long?

It's fine. You were in love.

I don't know that I was.

I mean, I thought that I was. I was happy.

At least I thought I was happy.

You're happy tonight, right?

Yes.

Yes, I am just so happy to finally be out with you two.

Ok, you know what?

Cheers to what might happen tonight.

To the "might" before Christmas.

Oh, hey, I love that.

Please don't make me cheers a pun.

Who's ready for a lasso contest?!

Stay back. Stay back. Stay back.

Ok, ready?

Tree, tree, tree, tree...

Ok, you know what,

I don't wanna wait for Ava to get back from the bathroom.

I think I wanna dance now. Um, will you come with me?

Uh, you know what, I'm gonna sit this one out

and the rest of them in all likelihood.

But you go. I'll go grab a drink.

Go. Go have fun.

Go have fun.

Hey! There you are.

- Oh, hi. - This is amazing.

Okay. Do you know the moves?

Absolutely not.

That's something.

Hey, can I get a cider, please?

- You bet. - Thanks.

Hey, make sure you get a receipt for these.

Yeah.

No, no, it's on the house. I insist.

Hey, that's awesome, Billy, thanks.

No problem. Cheers.

Uh, you know, Billy, we've only improved our efficiency

since last time you hired us.

You know I have connections in the...

Yeah, yeah...

Ok, ok. Hey, Billy? Billy? Mac's gonna wanna talk shop.

I think the best way for us to do high-quality work

for Nashvilles is to get in the Nashvilles spirit.

What do you say before we hit you with the hard numbers,

we hit the dance floor? Huh?

Can't cut a deal without cutting a rug first, am I right?

Yeah, there's nothing in the world I love more

than a line dance.

What do you say, Mac?

I say lets shake what our mommas gave us, huh?

I'm gonna get my dancing hat.

Alright.

See, I told you the Liam smile would work.

I told you prioritizing fun would work.

And, uh, just do me a favor

and you know, be careful out there.

What are you talking about? I'm a great dancer.

You get the jumps, the spins, the kicks...

The kicks are the problem.

So let's just dial back on the kicks.

Alright, alright. But, I tell you this...

nobody out here is gonna have more Nashvilles spirit than me.

- Ok. - Yeah.

- Come on, you turkey! - Alright, let's go.

You go. I'm gonna finish my drink.

Howdy.

I'm with my brother.

Not much of a country western guy myself.

Oh yeah? Which one is he?

Uh, he's, uh...

You know, he's, uh... he's that one.

Well, you gotta give him A for effort.

Yes.

F for dancing, but A for effort.

F for dancing.

Oh, this is not good.

You know what, that's it. I'm going out there.

Oh, to stop him?

Nope, to join him.

Oh, I thought you weren't a western kind of guy?

Oh, I'm not, but, uh...

dancing seems a lot more fun than watching, doesn't it?

Not if you're the worst dancer in the world, which I am.

Remember, effort is more important than the end result.

Not if you're a surgeon.

Well, evenin' m'am.

Ma'm?

Alright. Definitely gonna regret this.

I think I'm getting it. Look!

I just gotta take a break for a sec.

Ok, here, here.

I gotta catch my breath. Let's go get a drink.

Alright.

- We'll talk business, alright? - Yeah.

Hey. We can do this every weekend.

No.

Oh, there's more to the night? No!

♪ ... who's that walkin' on my roof ♪

What can I get you?

Water.

Better make it a double.

You know, Mac,

there is no place this side of the Mississippi

that has nicer woman's bathrooms than here.

Well, we appreciate it.

I'll wear that as a badge of honor.

- Hi. - Hey.

Ok. Here you go, thank you.

Thank you!

- Merry Christmas. - Merry Christmas.

- Alright. - Bye.

Now, let's talk business.

I was thinking of doing some, uh,

remodeling of my bar in Shelbyville.

Now, I was wondering...

Something more interesting over there?

No, no.

I promised Billy there's nothing more important

than your business... except my brother,

so I will call you on Monday and, uh, Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

♪

Liam! Hey!

Oh, hey!

Mac, what's up? I thought you were talking to Billy.

Yeah, I was.

He offered us this giant contact.

That's amazing. Why aren't you excited?

'Cause I bailed on it.

I found your girl.

You what?

You found her?

Hold on...

You bailed on the owner of Nashvilles

to help me find my mystery girl?

Yeah. Don't remind me.

Thank you.

How did you know it was her?

Well, I saw her wallet. Needlepoint, just like you said.

And where did, where did she go?

Well, she paid up her tab and then she took off, I guess.

Well, lets...

Like you say, you know, help you close the deal?

Let's go find her.

- Come on. - Yeah.

Let's go!

Here you go. Merry Christmas!

Oh, yes. Food.

Pizza?

Yes, great idea.

Okay, what do we got on this menu here.

Santa's slice.

What's a Christmas pizza?

It's a pizza shaped as a snowman.

Yeah, duh. Come on.

How was I supposed to know that.

Sorry.

So what should we do?

Just start yelling "needlepoint wallet"

and see who turns their head?

No. If someone screamed "needlepoint wallet"

everyone would turn their head.

It's a weird thing for someone to yell.

Yeah, alright.

Oh man, this is exciting.

You know, I got married right out of college...

I live in a town full of married people.

And I haven't been a winger in years.

You mean wingman. This is not hockey, right?

Duh.

So, wingman.

You make the call.

You think she's still here or at the next spot?

Next spot.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

Ok.

Plus I'm better at sledding than dancing.

- That's great. - Alright.

I think I see some seats over there.

Ah!

Three seats. How perfect.

Here we go.

Ah.

You still want half a pizza?

Oh, yes, absolutely.

Then that leaves two eights for each of us, or one quarter.

Now, by my count there are 31 total pepperonis

so we'll divide evenly and we'll each

get 10.33 repeating.

We can just split one of them three ways...

Only you can make pizza into a math equation.

Oh, pizza is literally one big pie chart.

I mean, it is the most

mathematical food there is, so...

Well, maybe lay off the mathematics

when you confess your love to Ben.

Why? I like math.

I need to be with someone who likes that I like math.

Well, does Ben like that you like math?

Yeah. I think so.

Because he asks about my class and my cats.

Guess I've always wondered if he'd like want to go to coffee

or maybe take me to a movie, but he hasn't asked, yet,

so, I guess, I just didn't know if he wanted to

or maybe if he would want to come LARPing with me or...

I'm sorry, did you say "LARPing"?

Yeah, LARPing. Live action role playing.

- Oh. - I don't know.

I go every weekend.

I didn't know that you were doing that.

Yeah, well I tried to get us all together

like late this summer a couple of times

but you were, you know, you were going through your breakup

and you found out you weren't teaching music anymore

and I just, I didn't want to, I didn't want to keep

bothering you guys to hang out if you didn't feel up to it.

Hey, hey, look.

I need you to know that it is not that

I didn't want to hang out with you.

Yeah. Ava, come on.

It's just been a...

it's been a tough couple months, that's all.

Uh, I don't know if the two of you have noticed,

but I have been a little teensy little bit grumpy lately.

No. You?

I really loved teaching music.

And then budgets get cut and electives get slashed

and now I spend every day trying to get teenagers

to care about The Great Gatsby.

And I... I don't care about The Great Gatsby.

I don't really like it either.

I'm just...

I'm afraid that if I hope for something good that it-

I'm just gonna get let down again.

So, uh, sometimes it's just safer to be a grump.

I'm sorry.

You know, my mystery Santa that I met,

he told me that vulnerability

doesn't necessitate a lack of durability.

Uh, a person said that to you in a five-minute conversation?

A man?

Ooof! Sounds like a keeper.

Yeah.

It's literally what I've been saying.

Oh, my tummy hurts.

I think this is too much Christmas for me.

Sure its not the cookies and the pizza?

Also the eggnog and the line dancing.

Oh, I'm not sure, but there is a way to find out.

Just give me a little bit more pizza!

Hey! That's my 2/8ths!

- No! - No, no!

- Fine, you can have an 1/8th. - Thank you.

You guys, we should have never stopped going out like this.

I mean, really think about everything

that we probably missed just over the last couple months.

We could have probably already found that... thing.

You know, the thing that turns things around?

But I found that thing. They're called sweatpants.

Or gym shorts.

Basically anything Adam Sandler is wearing in a paparazzi photo.

Uh, ok, I don't know.

I just, I keep thinking about it

and playing the conversation in my head over and over again

and, I don't know, I'm pretty sure that that guy

that I met tonight, my mystery Santa,

I think that he might be my thing.

Oh?

He's like your sweatpants.

Yeah. He is my sweatpants.

He's my sweatpants.

And you know what, even if he's not.

Even if I never find him, or we never find Ben,

or you know, Stella's Christmas spirit...

The most illusive target of them all, really?

I mean, isn't it really just the possibility

that matters the most? Right?

You know that something so,

I don't know, something so fantastic can happen tonight

that can just change the course of our lives forever.

I mean, come on, you guys.

It's actually really crazy to think about it.

Yeah, the word "crazy" does come to mind.

Okay.

We made it out tonight, right?

That was a first step.

Mmhmm.

And now the universe is going to reward us.

All three of us, I can feel it. Ok?

I can feel it.

I feel it too.

Yes!

Alright, come on. Bring it in for a group hug.

Not a chance. Mmhmm.

Ok, fine. Then we're coming to you.

No, no, my 1/8th! My 1/8th!

Oh, hey, can I just, do you mind if I...

Uh, sorry, I shouldn't have done that.

Sorry!

Alright, hey, so I've asked around.

No needlepoint wallets.

Just keep googling art teachers in the area and you'll find her.

Oh, come on, man.

We don't even know what grade she teaches.

Do you know how many schools are in a city like this?

You got an elementary school, a high school, middle school...

That's assuming she's even local.

She could be from a different county.

And, we still don't know what she looks like.

It's like a romantic Where's Waldo.

Now Waldo had a different outfit than everyone else.

This is way harder than Where's Waldo.

Ok, so you've looked at, what, a dozen or two?

You'll recognize her when you see her.

How do you know?

Alright, you have a connection with her, right?

Yeah.

You, uh, fell for her even without seeing her face?

Yeah.

Yeah, you fell for a girl with a big bushy beard.

Hey! Everyone has a type, ok?

You do have a type, it's true.

Oh!

Woah, woah, I don't know.

I hope so.

Gosh, there's something about her eyes.

Alright. I'll race you up top.

You're on.

Dude, it's her!

Sucker!

Oh, that is just cruel.

Ok, so where's the ski lift?

You cannot have a Christmas celebration without sledding.

You cannot have it without frostbite either.

Ava?

- Oh! - Hello.

Hey.

What do I say?

- Hi! - Hey.

Get out of here.

Hi.

It's uh, good to see you.

Hi, Ben.

- Hi. - Hi.

Okay.

Hi.

- So... - Hi.

They had to go.

You, uh, you keeping warm?

Your cheeks are a little flushed.

Oh, my cheeks always get red in the cold.

Right. Right.

You know, um, I tried texting you.

Oh, yeah, I'm so sorry.

I dropped my phone in this slush puddle

outside the line of Old Richards.

- You did? - I did.

I, oh, I gotta go.

Oh, you coming back down?

I could, uh, save you a spot in line.

No. I think we're actually moving on.

But hey, we'll be at the silent disco for a while.

It's our favorite spot on the whole Summit.

We'll be there for a few hours,

so if you want to find me, come find me.

I'll buy you a nog.

Yeah. Great. I love nog.

I'll see ya there.

Ok.

It's really great seeing you.

You too- oh, that...

- Yeah. - Ok.

Yeah.

Slippery there.

Maybe a little marshmallow will cheer you up. Huh?

Oh, hey.

How'd it go?

He will see me at the silent disco.

Said he'd buy me a nog.

- Oh. - Okay, see?

You're irresistible, you enchantress, you.

Thank you.

Is that a smile I see?

You. Are you following me?

Don't flatter yourself. I'm a man about town.

Stella, it's a mapped event.

You know, everybody goes the same direction.

Right.

Sorry, we didn't ever get a proper introduction.

I'm Jordin and this is Ava.

You are art and she is math.

Oh, yeah. Very good memory.

What do you do?

I spread Christmas cheer.

He's unemployed.

Not quite.

Look, I'm not trying to offend you,

I just really want to spend today with my friends.

The three of us. Three musketeers.

There's no fourth musketeer.

There absolutely is a fourth musketeer.

The whole book is about the guy

who becomes the fourth musketeer.

I thought you were an English teacher.

It's not in my curriculum. Duh.

How am I supposed... Doesn't matter.

Look, um, we're just not taking

musketeer applications today, so.

I don't know.

I wouldn't mind hanging out with Freddie for a bit, so.

I think he seems pretty awesome.

Yeah, me too.

Ok. Yes. You're awesome.

You've got a cool leather jacket and great glasses

and straight teeth and...

You like my teeth?

No.

I'm just not looking for new friends or whatever.

Tell you what, I'll make a deal with you.

A race to the bottom.

If you win, I'll leave you alone for the rest of the night.

Huh.

But, if I win, you sing a song at the piano bar.

Ok, so if I win you'll leave me alone just like that?

Mmhm.

Ok.

You're on.

Alright, so, doing some math here...

What's the best angle here?

How do I, uh, maintain velocity, or whatever?

I don't know.

What do you mean you don't know?

You don't have a fastest route down?

No, I do.

I just... I don't know if I want to tell you

'cause I really want to see you sing.

- Oh, yeah, me too. - Yeah.

So no advice?

The power of Christmas must determine your fate.

So who are we to interfere with that?

That's good.

That's a really good speech.

On your marks.

Don't let me down, power of Christmas.

Get set.

Go!

Woo!

Yeah!

Woo!

I was in front of you! How'd you win?

I've been sledding here my whole life.

It's steepest on the side.

Advanced intel.

I can't believe I got hustled in a sled race.

Good job, Stella!

What do you mean? I lost.

Oh, yeah, no, we know.

But we thought that you were gonna fall off the sled

way before you got to the bottom.

That's fair.

So, what song you gonna sing?

Oh, I wonder what they're talking about.

Talking about how annoying my friends are.

Hey, you ok?

Yeah, just nervous.

What if I just... maybe I'm making a mistake?

No. No, you're not.

Hey look, when Nico and I broke up,

I had all sorts of reasons for not wanting to go out.

You know, I didn't want to be rejected

or I didn't want people to look at me

and think that I looked sad, or even worse,

I didn't want to run into Nico and get that look of pity.

I hate the look of pity.

- Oh, I know. - Ulgh!

But you know what? At the end of the day,

I was just letting fear dictate all of my actions.

And now, looking back, I regret doing that.

Just like I think you will if you don't talk to Ben tonight.

So, you gonna tell me why you don't teach music anymore?

You actually want to know?

After all my Grinchy remarks today?

Yeah, I do.

It might do you good to talk about it and I'm not a bad listener.

I wish you were a bad sledder.

Ah.

I mean, it's really not that interesting.

Budget cuts.

We had two music teachers, county said we only needed one,

so instead of firing me

they asked me if I wanted to teach English.

What was I gonna say?

You could have said no.

I've been there for 13 years.

My best friends are there, my whole everything is there.

And not to mention that open teaching positions in the arts

are increasingly harder to come by.

It must have been tough.

Forget the past tense, it must be tough.

Must have been is actually present perfect tense.

Not past tense.

English is my second language, so sorry.

Hey, you know what, just think about,

think about what is his name from the Lord of the Rings, that guy?

Frodo?

Yes. Frodo. Okay, Frodo. Think about Frodo.

And if he hadn't have done what you know, he did, then,

just 'cause he was afraid...

Uh.

Then, the ring could have been destroyed.

He wanted the ring destroyed. That's his whole thing.

You make a really good point though.

All we have to decide

is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Ok, did you just come up with that

or was that something from Lord of the Rings.

Lord of the Rings.

You know you could have just lied

and said that you came up with it.

I considered it.

I used to have a cubicle job once.

A few years back.

Data processing if you can believe that.

No, I cannot.

I mean, you seem way too cool for data processing.

That's what I thought, so I quit.

No regrets. Not even once.

I mean, you're still young. Relatively speaking.

Thank you?

It's a compliment, yeah. You're welcome.

It's going to be a beautiful night.

Yeah.

It is.

Dream on.

Wait!

You know? It makes me feel better knowing

that even if I don't find my Santa tonight,

I still have all my movie nights with you

to look forward to.

You could still find him. There is still time.

Find who?

This guy Jordin met tonight.

We've been looking all night but...

- Oh, yes. - Wait, he didn't find you?

Who?

The guy from the Harbor Sushi.

He was looking for the girl with the needlepoint wallet.

I had seen your wallet so I figured it was you.

Did you tell him about me?

Well, I didn't know your name.

I said that you were an art teacher

and he just got up and left and ran after you.

I didn't see him again,

so I figured he caught up and gave you his number.

Oh, my gosh. Okay, well, this is good.

This is so good.

Ok, well, I would think that he likes me, right?

If he's running after me. So...

Of course.

Oh. This is good.

This is good.

We're gonna find him.

Yes, we will.

Yes, we will!

Good heavens I hope so.

All for one?

And one for all!

Sorry. Where's Stella?

Oh, she is signing up to sing... involuntarily.

- Right. - Yeah.

Hey, you were talking to a fellow up at the bar.

Yeah, yeah. Nice guy.

Yeah?

Yeah. He recommended the cinnamon whip cream.

Mm. Mmm!

That is good. That's really good.

You got a little something. Just a... boop, right there.

- Right here? - Yep.

Oh. Yeah, I was saving that for later.

- You were? - Mmhmm.

Well that's nice.

Uh, up next we have Emmy to the stage, please.

If I wanted Jingle Bells but with a little, you know, swing,

a little jazzy flair, can you do that?

Tell you what, put a $20 on that clipboard,

I'll play it any way you want it.

That's my guy.

$20 to play Jingle Bells?

♪ The first Noel, the angles did... ♪

I need to tell you, I haven't done this in a very long time

and I don't know if you've noticed,

I'm not the biggest lover of, uh, Christmas.

No!

Yeah, so I don't know about this.

I don't think it's a really good idea.

Listen. Look around you. This, this is Christmas cheer.

♪ Noel, Noel... ♪

Oh is it? Are you sure it's not the cider?

Maybe a little cider.

Yeah, probably cider, sure.

But Christmas brings out the best in everyone.

This might surprise you,

but I do get cynical from time to time.

Really?

Yes, I do, but then it's Christmas.

And strangers are kind to each other and everyone is happy.

If anything, it's a nice reminder that if I try,

during the year, to have that same cheer

I have at Christmas,

it would make the whole world a lot more fun.

Don't you think?

You really believe that, don't you?

Yeah.

I really do.

Alright, I will give it my best shot.

Yes!

Oh, ok, ok.

Not for you, but for the uh, you know, Christmas cheer.

Yes!

I mean, no one seems to be very good here.

No.

I gotta show them how it's done, I guess.

If you don't, who will?

Okay, so what are you singing tonight?

Oh, no, I only sing if somebody pays me.

Oh. That makes a lot of sense.

Sorry, I have a sore stomach.

Drink?

Yep, yep. Yeah.

Thank you, Emmy. Let's bring up Stella.

- Let's leave! - No.

Let's go. Come on.

I don't know about this.

Look, look. If you get nervous, just close your eyes...

Close my eyes, ok.

Breathe.

And think of how lucky you are

that you met somebody as cool as me tonight.

That's, that's your...

That's it. You got this.

Now get out of my way, okay.

Let's not keep the audience waiting.

Come on up.

I'm here, I'm here.

Are your hands sweating?

Yeah. Very clammy, very clammy.

Thank you.

I didn't know you had that in you.

I didn't know either.

I mean, I did once,

but I guess I forgot about it until tonight.

So thank you.

You're welcome.

Ah! You were amazing!

Thank you.

That was so good.

Hey, um, I thought you said that he was annoying?

Oh, he is. So annoying.

Hey, where's Freddie?

Oh, he wanted to get to the park early for the concert,

and meet his friends.

He said he would save us the best seats in the house.

Oooh!

Ok.

You know what, hey, you guys, I'm gonna, um,

I'm just gonna get some hot cocoa, so you, you go in.

I'll just be right behind you, ok?

Ok.

We'll see you in there.

Ok, you actually meant a silent disco.

Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo!

DJ Ginger Jeff and the Fresh Pine are here

to serve some hot, out of the oven baked beats.

So I best get on my oven mitt

because this next beat is about to.... drop.

Can you lay off the horn?!

Hey, I know you.

I took you and your friends to Nashvilles.

Oh, yeah, yeah, hi.

Did your other friend, did she confess her love yet?

You know, it might be happening right now as we speak.

- I love it. - Yeah.

And, you know, our other friend, Stella, she uh...

she sang for the first time tonight in like years.

That sounds amazing.

Yeah, you know, and speaking of amazing,

I actually got to see my ex

serenade his new girlfriend there,

so yeah that was, uh... really fun.

Yikes.

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

I kind of thought that tonight would be like a going out party.

Just me and my girlfriends, right?

Having fun and having a bunch of adventures.

And, you met them, right?

Yeah.

So, I mean, you can imagine that this is not their scene,

like at all.

But you know what? They're doing it.

They are really putting themselves out there

and the universe is just now rewarding them

with all of these amazing, magical moments

and I actually thought

that I has one of those magical moments earlier.

I met a guy.

A guy.

But then we got separated

before we even got each other's names.

And it just feels like the universe had rolled out

this red carpet to happiness and then just, whoosh, you know?

Yeah.

Yanked it right from under me, so yeah, just,

between my ex and my best friends,

it kind of feels like everyone else is out there

finding their thing and nothing feels lonelier

than when everyone else around you is having fun

and you are alone on the dance floor.

Ok, listen, I can be a little too quick

to butt into people's business, so by all means, you just...

But lady, hey, hey, hey! You gotta snap out of it, ok?

What? What do you mean?

I mean, you got your friends here supporting you.

You got... you got hot cocoa, you got excitement.

What on Earth is there to be sad about?

I don't know,

I thought that tonight was gonna go one way...

Oh.

And gonna be amazing,

and now it just doesn't feel like that's gonna happen.

Ok, but why would you be so upset about losing some guy?

I mean, it's not that hard to find a mutual attraction

with another person.

But finding friends, like, real friends,

like the ones that you got,

I mean, that's... that's like finding-

Needle in a Santa stack.

Well, sure.

Ok, look, it's not just some guy, okay?

It wasn't a mutual attraction,

it was a real, genuine connection.

You know, the path to finding a great partner, that...

That doesn't come from the universe.

It doesn't come from your friends.

It comes from within.

You don't become happy because you found love.

You find love because you're already happy.

So he is not my sweatpants.

No. No, I have to be my own sweatpants.

What is happening right now?

Listen, seems like you're really having a moment here,

so I'm totally with it, ok?

Oh my... thank you!

Hey, where are you going?

I, um... I'm gonna go inside. I'm gonna go dance.

Alone.

Oh!

Ok. Alright there. That's great.

Thank you. You are a very wise reindeer.

And actually extremely soft, wow.

Oh, yeah, well be glad you're only touching the outside

because with all that biking earlier,

it's like a swamp in here.

- Ok. Yeah. - Good idea.

Ok. Um, well thank you.

You're welcome. Go, get in there!

- Hi! - Hi.

I love the music.

Yeah, I mean the pants do fit.

They're... Yeah, they're nice...

- Yeah. - Hold on.

- Yeah, right. - Oops.

Yeah.

Hey, uh, this is fun, right? How's your night going?

I think about you a good percentage of the time.

What?

Like if you made a pie chart of my thoughts

it would be work, chores, my cats, obviously.

Obviously.

All the little things and, um,

the biggest slice of the pie would be you.

You are my biggest slice.

You're smart and you're kind

and you always make time to say hello

and make me feel special,

even if you're in the middle of a conversation

and, and, and you're smiling

so that's good because I'm... I'm building to something.

Something that I wanted to say because...

it's Christmas and that something is...

I love you.

I love you and I don't know how to say it as eloquently

as you deserver, but, as Arwen once said to Aragorn...

I would rather share one lifetime with you

than face all of the ages of this world alone.

You know Lord of the Rings?

Oh, I know Lord of the Rings.

Oh... that's...

If there's one thing that I love more in this world

than the words of J.R.R. Tolkien himself, it is you, Ava.

I'm so happy for you!

You're really loud.

Really loud.

What?

You're... Never mind.

Great!

Would you dance with me?

It would be my honor.

Headphones on. Music helps.

Yeah!

I'm gonna join you now!

She likes me!

You guys are really weird together.

What?

Yeah!

Okay, okay, okay!

Now, when I say ginger, you say bread!

- Ginger! - Bread!

When I saw Santa, you say Summit!

- Santa! - Summit!

Hey, where's Jordin?

Jordin?!

Ho, ho, ho, ho!

DJ Ginger Jeff and the Fresh Pine

are so happy to be headlining the Santa Summit silent disco.

Now, before we turn up, don't forget to go cast your votes

for the gingerbread house contest.

I'll be right back. I'll be back, I'll be back!

It's so hot.

Oh, my gosh.

"I've been looking for you all night.

"Meet me at the park,

"I'll wait for you under the tree till the tree lighting.

"Try not to lose your wallet again on the way."

We have to go. We have to go.

Wow!

Hey, this is nice.

Are you sure I can't sit in the front seat there?

Hey, I don't make the rules, handsome.

Sorry, honey.

I cannot believe this is happening.

Honestly, this is the most romantic thing

I think I've ever heard of.

I'm also very excited to be part of this moment,

but I will point out these carriages

are only designed for three passengers.

Ok, you know what?

I just, even if I can't find this guy tonight

or even if he doesn't show up, or even if this carriage crashes

and I have to go to the hospital, I-

Why would you put that out in the universe?

Sorry.

I just, this has been the greatest night

that I have had in, I don't even know how long.

And you two really are the best friends

that anybody could ever ask for

and I just love you both so much.

Are you kidding? We love you.

Oh...

Oh, okay, okay, I am loving the love

but please stop shifting your weight, okay?

This is so nice. On Dasher!

Yeah, faster!

Faster! Faster! Faster!

Hey! No, we're good, we're good.

Out of the way! Out of the way, everybody!

Alright, we're here. We're here, we're here.

Hey, good luck.

Oh, thank you.

Merry Christmas.

Ok, come on.

So what time is the tree lighting at?

Uh, it should start any minute

and then the concert's after that.

You said Freddie is saving us a spot?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

He's here somewhere so just keep your eyes peeled.

This is so exciting!

Alright, but we wish you luck.

Ok, give me a hug. I love you guys.

- Love you. - Love you.

Hey, break a leg.

If he doesn't show up, I'll break his.

Ok.

Gather round Santa Summit for the tree lighting.

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

Favorite holiday?

One, two, three...

Christmas!

Hi.

I'm Jordin.

- I'm Liam. - Hi.

Hi.

I told you I'd build you that dream house.

You did, yeah.

Although it was a little smaller than I imagined it would be.

Yeah, I wanted to build it to scale

but they ran out of gingerbread, so...

Uh, um, alright, you said that it was easy

to bare your soul to strangers,

so, um, oh, okay, here it goes.

I think that you are gorgeous and kind

and generous and funny and so sweet.

And I guess you're right, it is pretty easy doing this

knowing that we may never get to see each other again.

That would be a real shame.

So, what do we do now?

Don't think, just answer.

Ok.

One.

Two.

I'm the winger. Ah, wingman. Sorry.

We're her wing ladies.

- Really? - Yeah.

Hey!

I'm Ben.

That's Ben.

Of all the Santa Summits in all the world,

you walked into mine.

How's everyone doing tonight?

Oh, that's Freddie!

Yeah, it's the guy from the sushi place.

Oh, my gosh!
