"Christmas in Scotland"

"Gifts will be opened soon."

Ten seconds, Emma.

Yes.

Here we are.

amazing.

"toy store"

Goldman is satisfied with your work, Emma.

It's still the beginning of December, and it has increased
The percentage of store visitors is 30 percent.

They attribute this to your layout of the display window,

So it's obvious that they would like to hire you
For next Christmas.

This is amazing.

And don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for the offer,

But my focus remains on this year.

Decorating task on New Year's Eve?

Lighting the square in the middle of the city
It will be a great development in my career.

You have my designs
You will see that it is costed and tabulated.

Emma, I already assigned the task to someone else.

Your suggestion was great.

But honestly, I think you were a little cautious.

So your work really stands out, Emma.
You must give me something new,

Even if it was risky.

I really thought I had a chance
In assuming the task of decorating the field.

I want as many people to see my work
and enjoy it,

And to be part of their celebrations and memories.

Think on the positive side, it won't work
All the time from now until New Year's,

Which means we'll spend more time together
On our first Christmas together.

If this lunch goes smoothly.

My parents usually don't like me
In the first meeting.

Quickly, is there anything I shouldn't mention?
Or should I know him?

About my father?

He doesn't like the look of an elegant suit.

And be sure to call him “sir.”

Good day, sir. I'm Brad.

my lord? Are you ten years old?

You can call me "Mike." Pleased to meet you.

While I was trying to grill in July,

Emma quickly ran out of the house
She holds a birthday sweater she wants me to wear

The temperature must have been 32°C!

But you wore it nonetheless.

I didn't want to disappoint my baby.

What I mean to say, Brad?
It's that she loves Christmas and always has.

Fortunately for her, we'll be spending Christmas this year at...
Business Suite at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.

What?

When did we agree to this?

I wanted to surprise you.

I don't think I want to spend Christmas
In an upscale hotel.

But its rating is 5 stars.

We won't have to cook or go out in the cold
during snowfall,

We won't have to buy a tree and decorate it.

These are all things I love.

Okay, we're not going to the hotel.

We won't go to the hotel,
Booking was free I had nothing to lose.

Before you make a decision, whatever it is,

He invited me to show you my plans.

I'm practicing my other passion,
It is the study of our ancestors.

We, the McKenzies, immigrated from Scotland.
Almost 300 years ago

From a little village called Glenrothy.
In the Highlands of Scotland.

Or in the Lowlands of Scotland?

I will definitely verify the information
As soon as I get there.

Once you get there?

- Are you traveling to Scotland?
Yes. I planned it.

Dad, this sounds great.

I'm glad you think so.

This is an early birthday gift

You don't have to accept it, of course.

Two plane tickets for you.

Traveling is more fun with others, right?

I would go on this trip with your mother
If only the situation were different.

She will definitely accompany us in her spirit.

Wait, are we?
Does this mean you're coming?

I don't have a big project for New Year's right now.

I've always wanted to visit Scotland.
So why not?

I can't simply leave everything behind
And go to Europe on vacation.

You wanted to spend Christmas in a hotel.

It is separated by three residential neighborhoods
About the office in case I have to go.

I will be able to send reports
And emails...

They must have internet in Scotland.

Come on, it's going to be an adventure.

Moreover, it can be a journey
She's exactly what I need right now,

An opportunity to reflect and relax
And charge my creative energy.

Sorry, Emma, I can't go.

-I'll stay too then.
-I can't ask you to do that.

But it's our first Christmas together
And I can't miss it

No matter how much I want to support my father.

Unless...

The return flight will be on the 22nd of the month.

This gives me enough time
To prepare for Christmas.

What about gifts, food, and decorations?
Do you think you will have enough time?

I work best when working under pressure.

Okay.

I paid the bill. It's on me.

So, what did you decide?
Are you coming to Scotland?

Do you agree or reject?

I agree

As long as you don't speak in that dialect
When we go there.

I don't promise anything.

"Welcome to the Glenrothe Arms Pub."

"XWA 228J"

Glenrothy, she's so beautiful.

Yes, I'm glad to be back home.

Okay, we'll come down here.

I'll get our bags.

Something's wrong.

There is no snow. I know you.

Christmas is no flavor without snow.

Not only that, but something else.

Christmas decorations.

There are no decorations.

There are no Christmas lights or trees
Not even a wreath on the door.

I see a tree.

This is not a tree, this is...

Tragedy.

Does Christmas happen in Scotland?
At a date different from the rest of the world?

No, we celebrate it on the 25th of December.

But Christmas was banned here in the past
Hundreds of years ago.

Why aren't there any decorations then?

Didn't you see the tree?

barely. I mean, it should be a lot bigger.

- Who chose her?
- It was a gift

From the Laird of Glenrothy to the village people.

He donates one every year.

Is this Laird different or whatever?
About the rest of the villagers?

No, he cares too much about them.

He owns the land, the village, and everything here.

By the way, the pronunciation of the word is laird.

this is what I said. "Laird."

No, you say "laird" and it's "laird".

“Delicious home-cooked food
"Served throughout the day"

"Laird."

That's just an annoying sound.

Anyway, Laird Glenrothe prefers to celebrate
Merry Christmas in our simple and non-flashy style.

He looks like a Christmas hater.

whatever"!

I'm Mike McKenzie, nice to meet you.

I'm Alex,

Alex Glenrothe.

That's right, I'm the son of a Christmas hater.

I see you have baggage.

Are you staying at Glenrothy long?

Pre-Christmas vacation.

I'm here to search for the roots of our family tree.

I wish you good luck with that.

I should deliver these greeting cards
Christmas special

I don't want anyone to think
I don't have the Christmas spirit.

Welcome.
Welcome.

Welcome.

-You must be the McKenzie family.
-And you must be Ruth.

Nice to see you in person after writing to you.

Me too.

Especially since you are so handsome.

This is my daughter, Emma.

Nice to meet you, my dear.

We'll sign you both in.

Write your details in the visitors book.

It makes me happy to see someone celebrating Christmas
As it should be here.

We met a young man outside.

Alex Glenrothe.

Emma had an objection
On his father's Christmas decorations.

Or rather the lack thereof.

I design and hang Christmas lights
And I know how much joy it brings.

It really brings joy.

The whole issue is causing inconvenience to the villagers.

We rent properties from Laird

We have the freedom to decorate our homes
And our commercial buildings from the inside as we wish

But the matter is completely different
Regarding the outside.

The Laird insists there is no
Any flashy or glaring decoration.

this is very unfortunate.
Okay.

Anyway, I'll show you both to your room.

from here.

"Stephen Memorial Hall"

"Welcome to the Glenrothe Arms Pub."

How delicious!

Are you sure you don't want to taste the blood sausage?

Thanks, but I'll settle for a sandwich
My own jellies.

Honey, it's not called jelly here
But "jam".

Would you like to accompany me to the library today?
To help me do my research?

I think I'd like to explore
Some areas of the village first,

-But we can leave together.
- No, go.

This will take some time.

Good luck in your search.

I saw you looking at the stuffed pies

I thought you might like to taste one
You're visiting us from New York.

Thanks, but stuffed pies?

With fruits and spices.

It's traditional at Christmas.

Wow, it's so delicious.

thank you...
- "Bruce."

I am responsible for managing this store
As was my father and grandfather before me.

- “Kaori”?
Korean".

- It means hugging or embracing.
that's sweet.

Nice to meet you, Bruce. I'm Emma from...

New York".
But you already know that.

News spreads fast in Glenrothe.

Welcome.

I run a small shop here

I thought you might like these.
Essential supplies you may have forgotten to pack.

Pens, notebooks and measuring tape?

You'll likely need it
While you are here.

I hope so.

Welcome to Glenrothy.

this is for you. I hope you like it.

I made it myself.

She's beautiful but I can't accept her...

"Megan."

why not?
- Because there is a warm welcome

But this is a lot.

what's going on?

Good. Last night, you said to Ruth...
You install holiday lights professionally.

But she told Himesh at the bar
Who came home and told his wife

Which I told Bruce from his store, Corey.

Which he told everyone who went to his store
To drink tea and eat breakfast today,

And I am one of them.

We're all excited to have you here.
You are the one we need.

To do what?

What is your opinion?

Winning the title of the most beautiful village at Christmas.

Come on, I'll buy you another stuffed pie
I will explain everything to you.

And so, whenever December arrives

The district organizes a competition
The most beautiful village at Christmas.

The place where there are the most beautiful lights and decorations
He won a trophy, and not only that,

But a big cash prize for participating
And spend it on gifts.

Or support my business venture in my case.

That's the basic idea at least.

Hasn't Glenrothy ever won it?

Because of the Laird's insistence that we follow tradition.

But even if we don't win,

Everyone will want to see a beautiful tree
And some lights around the village.

But we get nothing

While "Perenglinan"
Have all the fun and glory.

- “Perenglinan”?
- The neighboring village.

Our opponents.

It wins the title of most beautiful village
At Christmas every year

Then they brag about it the following year.

But you're there to help the people of Glenrothy.

I saw your work online
I started following your page.

It was the viewing window you prepared
So that store is absolutely amazing.

Thanks, but I'm here on vacation.

Can you offer any help or even any advice?

That would surely convince the Laird that he was wrong

And that Glenrothy could be
The most beautiful in her Christmas celebration appearances.

Megan, honestly
I'm in the process of re-evaluating my work.

So, I apologize.

I don't think I can help.

The village people want
To design Christmas lights.

my dad...
Ruth mentioned there was a competition

Glenrothy wants to participate in it this year.

my father...
-All the villagers are excited to have you here.

I'll be at the bar at one o'clock.

What will happen at one o'clock?

Your first planning meetings.

Did I say something wrong?

I thought you might want to help.

I can go back and cancel everything.

no.

The date suits me.

Welcome.

Welcome.

Would you pay me your attention for a moment?

O people!

you all!

Thanks.

If you are serious about winning this competition
We have a lot to do.

Before I present to you my initial proposals
I would like to know your views.

Glenrothy is your village and your home.

Which decorations would you like to see?

String lights.

You mean Christmas lights, right?

I think this is a given.

I have a brother in Aberdeen.
He can provide you with Christmas lights,

As much of it as you want, at a good price.

thank you...

"Himesh."
My brother can insure you anything.

Lights, TVs, fish
Exercise bikes.

-Do you want me to call him now?
- Thanks, but we are still in the planning stage.

Can I place my own Rudolph figure?
Outside the bar?

If she wants to put Rudolph,
I'm going to put a huge Santa outside my library.

He will hold a book in his hand and appear to be reading it.

To encourage young children to read.

-We need an ice machine.
- My brother can provide an ice machine.

- Can he provide us with a pinna?
- Giant Santa should be placed outside my café.

- He will hold a book.
- He'll grab a cup of tea.

We can get more
From one giant Santa, right?

I suppose so, but he'll need it
To sleds and reindeer.

Can my brother in Aberdeen?
To provide sleds and reindeer.

- That's great then.
- Silence.

These are all useful ideas, but let's listen
Each idea separately and logically.

Let's think about basic needs
We agree on it first

Starting with a new Christmas tree.

The current tree is very small

And it must be changed.

truly?

So maybe you could say that
To Laird Glenrothy personally.

My mother asked to meet you.

Good.

We would all love to have it
We had the opportunity to share our suggestions with him.

No, he asked to speak to you alone
And no one but you.

My car is waiting outside.

You should go, my dear.
The laird doesn't like to wait.

My family owns all these lands
She is responsible for it

And about farmers and families
who live and reside there,

In addition to livestock and commercial projects
For firewood and hunting.

It's a year-round job for me.

Yes, I realize how work can eat up your time
And it gets in the way of other issues.

Is there anything funny?

No, that's it
You decorate Christmas trees.

And other occasions.

Yeah, but you're basically riding lights.

- How hard is that?
it is very difficult.

It requires achieving what the client wants and preparing something special
Within the budget was artistic talent and business acumen.

It can take beautiful birthday decorations
Weeks or even months of preparation.

Months?

It seems to me that you won't have enough time
To install all these lights before Christmas.

I perform my best when working under pressure.

And if you think that what you say or what your father says
It will change my mind, you are so wrong...

Wow!

This castle exists
On this site for 800 years.

Some were destroyed in fires and battles
But these remained in place for 200 years.

211 years to be exact.

Welcome to Glenrothy Castle.

I am Duncan, 15th Laird
The current one is Glenrothy.

Or "Christmas hater"
According to your naming of me.

About that, Duncan.

- I didn't intentionally...
decent.

I've had worse titles over the years.

No, but don't call me "Dunkin."
I prefer Laird Duncan.

science.

Please come in. I'll take you on a tour.

I hope you don't mind having tea here.

you kiding me. This is the most beautiful room I have ever entered.

We have larger and more upscale rooms of course
But we rarely use it.

The castle is not very big...

But my father took care of the place
Just like my grandfather

And every Laird preceded them.

Do you feel it is your duty to do the same?

completely.

completely. Then you understand why I won't allow it
Placing decorations in the village.

No, what harm would that do?

What my father is trying to say
It is that lights have never been hung in the village before.

But the villagers...

Your tenants, they want it this year.

Is this to celebrate Christmas and all that it represents?
Or to win a competition?

You must be her. The woman from New York
Who came to arrange the Christmas decorations here.

My uncle Alex told me about you.

I'm so happy to have you here.

This is my granddaughter, Rona.

She doesn't let a closed door get in her way.

How big will the village Christmas tree be?
I want it to be decorated with lights of all colors.

Calm down, Rona. I invited Miss Mackenzie.
Here to tell her that she will not decorate the village.

But I saw the holiday lights you installed
In New York online.

If Emma can do the same here,
We'll be able to beat Berenglinan.

I play hockey against the boys of that village.

They think they're so good
But they're not actually like that.

Ruona, that's enough.
I have made my decision and it is final.

- Why can't we do both?
Sorry?

I asked if the purpose of the holiday lights was
Birth is a celebration or winning a contest.

You can do both.

Acknowledging the spirit of Christmas
Glenrothy traditions and history

And give the village a wonderful opportunity
To win this competition at the same time.

Do you really think you can do that?

Uncle Alex, of course you can
She's from New York!

No no.

I like your confidence
But there isn't much time.

Entries for the competition may be closed.

Not closed! Final evaluation is done
On Christmas Eve.

That's enough, I've made up my mind.

This Christmas is hard for Rona.

Her mother, who is my daughter,
She does charitable work abroad

Her father works on a research campaign
In the North Pole.

Isn't that a compelling reason to make...
Is this year special for her?

i beg your pardon.

I remember your mother playing with that dollhouse
When she was your age.

It was worn out even then.

What do you do?
- Added lights

So that the aspects of celebrating Christmas are evident
On at least one house in Glenrothy.

Here it is. It looks much nicer.

You are free to explore the estate.

I would take you on a tour myself, but I'm busy.

Thanks, I understand.

I'm really busy.

A tree fell on North Street and blocked the road.

At least 12 fences need repair.

Isn't there anyone to help you with all this?

Help costs money.

Besides, my father doesn't trust anyone but me
To complete the work as it should.

Miss Mackenzie?

Miss McKenzie, did you mean what you said earlier?

Traditional and prestigious festive decorations?

Yes.

The work will be difficult
I don't have enough time, but...

Then I give you permission to decorate Glenrothy.
On Christmas this year.

What changed your mind?

Be a grandfather.

Miss Mackenzie's right.
Rona deserves a happy birthday.

But I still have reservations by the way.

I will not allow this to go ahead
Unless you meet my conditions.

That's why I want you to supervise
On Miss McKenzie's work.

What?
What?

You know my taste and desires.

So you'll help Miss Mackenzie.
And evaluate everything you do.

-Wait a minute.
-I have enough work to do already.

This won't work.

This is my last offer
You either accept it or reject it.

Thank you, Ruth.
You helped me a lot in my research.

Two people do it better than one person.

I think I found something.

The name "Donald McKenzie" appears in this register
He hasn't paid his rent since he moved out of Glenrothy.

Hey, some guy named Donald McKenzie.
"Donald..."

Donald McKenzie.

He was my fifth grandfather.

Then you found it.

He was the last of your family to live here
In Glenrothy.

- We can now find your family nakshatra.
- Family Naksha?

Every family or region has a historical inscription
She has the right to wear it.

We share the same opinion about my father's plan.

So choose some decent lights
We water it and the job is done.

I don't work that way.

I follow a process. I talk to my clients
Ask them about their needs and preferences.

That's what I was doing at the bar
Before you interrupt me.

Hurry, you slow trainers!

where are we going?

Rona tries to find the mistletoe
In the wild every year.

Its presence is rare in these areas.

But according to popular culture...
-It brings luck and happiness?

Yes, we have mistletoe in America.

We also have snow.

I thought "Scotland"
It will be a winter wonderland.

It will snow when the time comes.

Or are you determined to change?
What's the weather like here too?

How far away is this mistletoe?

I'm not sure. Rona has never
That I found one.

However, I always have fun
Helping her search for her.

Be careful, this is almost a tradition
Christmas special at Glenrothy.

A tradition you enjoy.

I enjoy Christmas
But not the fanfare and fanfare that accompanies it.

This distracts attention from more important matters.

The most important things?

Work and daily responsibilities
And things that people actually need.

People need Christmas
To relax and enjoy.

It's about spending time
With the people you love most.

So there must be space for him
Even if it's just for one day.

But it's not just for one day, right?

Anywhere other than Glenrothy?

An entire month is spent working in a hurry
Fixing the lights and thinking carefully about gifts.

I feel cold standing next to someone
His heart is so cold.

Hurry up!

Let's go.

I'll find the mistletoe

I hope you have enough luck to win
With the contest and change your mind about Christmas.

Thank you, Ruth.

What?

I'm being polite, nothing more.

It also helped me a lot in my research.

no. that's sweet.

I wish I could work with someone as cooperative as her.

- "Alex"?
-He's not a bad person,

But he's just stuck in his father's shadow.

I want the lighting decorations to be elaborate
To return to his usual work.

You want the lighting decorations to be elaborate
To prove your worth too.

A whole village to decorate.

A blank canvas and everyone follows in your footsteps.

Isn't this the perfect opportunity to try something new?

Take risks and show how good you are.

Traditional Christmas
But it is updated with modern technology.

Electric candles and sparkling lights
On roofs and lampposts.

A larger tree surrounded by motion sensors

And when it is activated
Not only does it make the tree lights shine,

But it plays traditional holiday carols.

"Silent Night", "O Come All Ye Faithful"

That would be nice.

There, we will set up a hot chestnut booth.

I've been in touch with someone in Glasgow.
And it's ready to work.

Himesh's brother can insure us
All the ice machines we need.

So what do you think?

no.
-We need ice.

Eid isn't really Eid without snow.

Not only did I reject ice machines,
But for everything.

I can adjust some things.

What don't you like specifically?

Lights? Hymns?

So much for Glenrothy.

I apologize that I'm not more excited
But I know that my father will not agree to this.

So I'm just trying to spare you
The trouble of doing useless work.

Wow!

Thanks.
Sorry.

I worded it wrong.

These ideas are great, but they don't fit the space.

Okay, I'll start from scratch.

Slowly.

Before you do that
Let me show you what we absolutely reject.

Would that help you?

- Christmas scene in “Perenglinan”...
- “(Cory by the Coast)”

...or the Christmas dilemma.
It depends on your point of view.

Didn't they win the prettiest Christmas village?

For five years in a row.

The reason is clear, the decorations are huge.

Is this a merry-go-round?

They will have to close the roads
And build a temporary parking lot

To serve all the tourists who come there.

I imagine their shops and cafes
Benefit from tourism activity.

But at the expense of transfer
Christmas into chaos?

I don't see the attraction.

Some of the decorations are a bit weird, frankly.

little bit?

Look, they have Santa.
Inflatable alien shape.

Well, it's very strange.

But this makes people happy and brings them together.

That's the point of Christmas.

Less is better.

And sometimes less isn't enough.

We just have to strike the right balance.

Nothing less than this,

But more than that little tree
Outside the bar.

When we reach a dead end and we cannot
Agree on a compromise solution that satisfies both parties?

We will settle the matter through fair competition.

Bruce, I want two cups of hot chocolate.

I want them big
With lots of whipped cream.

Thanks, Bruce.

The rules are simple.

We'll take turns drinking
This delicious hot chocolate,

And the person who laughs first because of the cream
Whipped on the opponent's nose is the loser.

The loser usually has to
To pay for hot chocolate

But we have to make it more interesting.

Follow me.

If you laugh first, we'll set up a booth
For hot chocolate in Glenrothy.

And if you laugh first...

I will withdraw my offer
To help coordinate the village lights decorations.

Don't worry, Bruce, I'm hers.

I've never been defeated before.

There is a first time for everything.

ladies First.
- No, start with you.

This way you may have a chance to win.

-You are smiling.
- But I don't laugh.

I think I've had enough sugar
For a whole month!

But can we offer
Hot chocolate for people?

I keep my promises.

Glenrothy is very special to me.

It's full of memories.

There I learned how to ride a bike for the first time.

This is the box I was putting in
My letters to Santa Claus.

Do you mean "Santa"?

We refer to him as “Santa Claus” here.

I was texting him and telling him I was being polite all along
year and ask him to send me new games.

It means you were enjoying Christmas.

What happened?

I'm just getting older.

My responsibilities increased.

Have you increased to the point that you don't have time?
To write a quick message?

Wait. Are you still writing?
A message to Santa Claus?

Santa still receives my correspondence, yes.

What?

your are different.

"Megan's Sparkles, jewelry store."

Megan is very talented.

Maybe I can buy Brad a gift here.

My love in America.

Understood.

What about you? Are you going to buy a gift?
For a special woman in your life?

No, I don't have time for these things
Because I'm busy.

Besides, there's not much here
Of potential partners.

This is a problem you don't have in New York right now
According to my imagination.

It's completely different there.

There are a large number of people
Who can be dated.

You have now found someone...

I'm talking about Brad.

Yes, I got you.

Who did you think I was talking about?

no one.
Yes, Brad is a nice guy.

Didn't he want to come to spend a vacation with you?

Yeah, but he was busy working in New York.

So the rumors are true.

Glenrothy hired an expert
To change her festive luck

She came from New York.

Emma, this is James Bowden.

He is an outspoken citizen
And a member of the Beringlinan Municipal Council.

Boden, this is Emma McKenzie.

"Mackenzie", a Scottish family name.

I'm here on vacation with my father
He's looking into our family history.

So you were not hired directly

To help Glenrothy win
With the title of the most beautiful village at Christmas.

I'm glad to hear that, as it would be a shame
To waste your trip in vain.

Don't be too sure of that, Boden.

Miss McKenzie's ideas and designs...
Enough to make the cup ours this year.

I'll believe it when I see it.

I'm sorry, but that guy knows how to provoke me.

We've had problems in the past
Related to land and planning permissions.

I just wanted to erase that smile
Sarcasm about his face.

I can understand that.

I'll call him and tell him I made a mistake.

Why would you do that?

I bragged. And you're almost guaranteed to have your lights on
Zeina will defeat Berenglinan Lights.

And you will defeat her.

If you give me complete creative freedom
She did not object to my ideas

I'm sure I can make great decorations

So that it is traditional and unique
For Glenrothy and its residents.

Let's take risks together.

My father might not agree with that

But he made me accountable.

Let's do this.

Looks great.
Spin again.

Emma, I didn't notice you were there.

This is a clear.

- A wonderful garment.
Thanks.

Look, "McKenzie" engraving.

I do not understand.

Every Scottish family name has an inscription associated with it
This is our inscription.

Wait, does that mean all individuals and families
In Glenrothy they know their own engraving?

naturally. That's something we take a lot of pride in here.

Why?
- Because this gave me a great idea.

I'd be happy to help you, young lady.

Silence!

Let me remind you that this is a library
Not some fashion show platform!

Good day, gentlemen. Please be seated.

I saw the same pattern in a history book.

This is correct. It is a traditional Celtic knot.

And for many,
It is a symbol of unity and eternal friendship.

It's a great.

Can you make one like this in a larger size?
To be an essential decoration?

Of course, I would like to help.

ladies and gentlemen
Would you pay me your attention, please?

Thank you for attending this meeting today
And on my invitation this time.

Emma invited us here
To listen to her suggestions and requirements.

whatever".

I won't lie to you.

We have a lot of work to do
So that we have little chance

Preparing birthday decorations
It can compete with "Berenglennan" garnish.

So what I'm going to ask you first is to get started
Collecting jars of all shapes and sizes.

Can my brother in Aberdeen?
To secure the jars for you.

excellent. Call him then.

And I'll need branches
And lots of pine cones

The largest possible amount that can be collected
For heather flower.

-I can help with that.
- Thank you, Rona.

The sooner we gather everything I need
The better.

But first, I want all of you
Tell me your family names

And a little about yourselves
What Christmas means to you.

Megan, how about we get started?

Good.

Let's see.

I'm Megan Murray
As most of you know.

I run a small jewelry store and this is my passion.

What Christmas means to me...

I'm not sure.

I think I like that unique feeling of togetherness

And kindness

And knowing that other people look up to you
The same amount of love you have for them.

Everyone is very busy these days
in their lives.

Sometimes we forget to express it to others
About how important they are to us.

And Christmas gives us the opportunity to see that.

Was that acceptable?

whatever"?

Yes.

Thank you, Megan.

We have to keep searching
Also about the lucky mistletoe plant.

If we find it, it will be a title win
The most beautiful village at Christmas is inevitable.

I promise to look for it.

But there is no trace of snow.

Don't worry, it will be over soon.

I asked this from Santa Claus.
In my letter to him.

Kind of an early gift.

Too bad your uncle Alex...
He couldn't help today.

He is always busy with work.

Help others in the area
Drainage pipe repair

And find lost sheep.

That's what I heard.

He is very kind.

Okay. But sometimes I wish it wasn't so.

Then he will have more time to play with me

Or he can find a woman to marry

And I can be the best man!

Understood.

In this case, I would look carefully for the mistletoe

So that your uncle gets some good luck too.

I know I'm doing something wrong,
But I don't know what it is.

If you put something on one side
Place it on the other side for symmetry.

He looks better. Thank you.

No, thank you.

It's great that you have the free time to help.

In fact, I'm supposed to be at a parish meeting
To discuss a leak in a church roof,

But this seemed more amusing to me.

I think it's great
You serve your area and its residents well.

I wish we could now prove
How much Christmas spirit you have.

I make wreaths poorly, right?

I used to love Christmas very much as a kid

But I'm an adult now.

I'm an adult too and I still love Christmas.

Did anything in particular happen?

Was there a moment when you stopped?
About enjoying the holiday?

I suspect...

Let me take a look.

It's just a fork.
It is small but should be removed.

I should have been more careful
I make my living by decorating trees.

It's our Scottish thistle.

It has a reputation for being prickly.

I removed it.

-Is this better?
- Much?

Thanks.

refrigerator"!

I am pleased to contact you.

And excellent timing.

The place is beautiful.

The village, the countryside and the castle whose pictures I sent you.

I'm here now.

I wish you were here to see it too.

I hope you didn't scratch my table
Small antique.

I was careful.

Its decoration will be the pride of the region.

We'll see.

naturally. Yes, let's talk later.

Good. See you soon.

Himesh, check it out
The distance is equal to the top.

That's great.

Slide it further in this direction.

excellent. Okay.

Is it the right size?

It's a great.

It's big but it's not overkill.

Where did you get it so quickly?

It's one of our trees.
We have a Christmas tree farm on our estate.

We grow approximately 5,000 trees a year.

Hey, you and your father
You don't have a Christmas tree in the palace

But you plant trees for other homes?

-It's a fixed income.
- That's not what I mean.

Know. And when you put it like this,
We seem like a family that hates Christmas.

However, that may change this year.

On behalf of Glenrothy,

I present to you our participation
In the competition for the best birthday village.

she's perfect.

Still needs ice.
But, we might get lucky.

Rona asked Santa if it would snow.

Each nakshatra represents a family or person in the village.

And if you get closer and use your phones,

You will find a symbol tied to each knotted ribbon.

If you scan it,

You will get your family history
And their best hopes for Christmas.

Amazing. How long did it take you to achieve this?

Let's just say I didn't get much sleep
The last few nights.

But I couldn't have done it alone.

Look at the beautiful Celtic knot
Made by Megan.

My brother in Aberdeen couldn't get one.

It's great, Megan.

And the last part of the presentation,

What we'll show the referees that night...

The villages were in ancient Scotland
Light candles on Christmas Eve,

To guide travelers
She indicates to them that they can stay.

I love that.

You've done something our village can be proud of, Emma.

I hope your father thinks so.

Welcome to Holiday Lights Decorations
In the village, Laird Duncan.

Not as terrible and tacky as Berenglinan's decorations,

But it doesn't suit Glenrothy either.

I made sure to focus on the traditional

And historical.

Except for the parts that don't fit your vision.

Calm down. And serenity.

That's what many people look for at Christmas
And I am among them.

What is this?

I asked Bruce to make souvenir meat pies.

Each one is decorated with your coat of arms.

I do not allow my family history to be lost
In food and messes.

And I expected you to be
I am better informed about these matters.

It's past your bedtime, Rona.

I like decorations.

Best birth village?

We are standing there now.

Are you well?
Thank you.

You should go and talk to her.

No, you should talk to her.

And it's not just about the lights.

I know you have feelings for her.

She also has feelings for you.

When I spoke at the bar the other day
I saw how you looked at each other.

It doesn't matter. She is linked to a man in America.

But he's not here.

While you're here.

I think you need a drink like this.

are you busy?

I renew my offer online.

Whatever it turns out to be.

I thought I would push myself.

I take a risk.

Create something new and memorable.

And I did. Forget what my father said.

His resistance to change prevents him from seeing reality.

truly?

Conducting renovations to the estate
creating new and better ways of working,

Develop a good computer technology system,

I've been trying to convince him of this for years.

- Did he cite tradition?
- And at the costs.

Commitment to tradition and not change
Not very expensive.

But you are rich.

You have very precious paintings.

You live in a palace.

A palace that costs a fortune to maintain.

My father would rather go hungry than sell the family's silverware.

I was hoping to show him the Christmas lights
That change can be good,

It might improve conditions instead of destroying them.

Sorry I let you down.

There is no reason for you to apologise.

At least you made it clear to me
How should Christmas be celebrated?

good.

I'm so glad about that.

And to prove to you that I'm starting to become
I hate Christmas less,

How about having a competition?
Another hot chocolate?

Good.

But what are the conditions?

Well, if you win,

I have to take the last day of your vacation
I'll take you around in the car

I'll show you the countryside and buy you dinner.

And if you win?

The same thing.

I lost.

This is the first time I've lost.

I wish I could stay here forever.

What's stopping you?

My life in New York.

The Atlantic Ocean that separates here and there.

The Atlantic that your ancestors crossed
Many years ago?

They didn't have planes then.

That is right.

But, there's my job too.

I worked hard to build my career
And my good reputation.

Move to here or to a place
It means starting from scratch.

That's unfortunate.

I will be happy to have you stay here.

I mean, because of everything you did for the village.

And people love you.
"Rona" specifically.

certainly. I thought you meant that.

Hello, Megan.

Calm down, slow down a little.

What's wrong?

Berenglinan Village.
Megan says they stole our ideas.

Berenglinan's latest blog. Read it yourself.

"Boden's blog"

“It will include decorations this year
Burning candles at the windows.

And wreaths made from local thistle plants.

And a tree decorated with carvings of village families.”

Do you see? It's all our decorations.

I'm sure they are decorated
It won't be as amazing as our decorations.

But the competition judges won't know
Who had those thoughts first?

There is no evidence to prove what we said or what they said.

But they won't lie, right?

They'll admit they imitated us, right?

Let's find out the answer now.

Boden, I'm surprised at your boldness
On coming here.

If there is an accusation of fraud,
Although not healthy,

I want to answer it.

You took all our ideas.

-And you added it to your post.
no.

No, we've been planning these ideas for weeks, months.

Similar to your simple decoration

Just an unhappy coincidence.

-Do you expect us to believe that?
- Believe what you want.

But family inscriptions and traditions in the region
It's not unique to Glenrothy.

Now, if that's all,

So I will leave.

To confirm that there is no bad intent,

You are all invited to enjoy the Christmas decorations
And the fun that Berenglinan offers.

Well, that's how it is.

We might win though.

Our adornment is not very similar to theirs.

Megan's right. Their copycat will be distracted
Paying attention away from our adornment.

At least in the eyes of the rulers.

Therefore, we must invent new decorations.

But, we don't have time.

We will have time if we work hard.

-We will all cooperate again.
My dear.

You know I support you.

But we must go home tomorrow.

That's a really good point.

Not saying I won't come back on Christmas Eve
Hey Brad.

I will stay here for two days
We will be able to have a wonderful holiday together.

I saw the pictures I sent you.

This is a special place.

And they need me here.

Everyone, from the villagers to the palace laird.

They will all benefit from the financial boost
Which winning the competition will bring.

truly?

That's great.

thanks for understanding.

Brad will understand if you stay.

That's great news.

Is that acceptable, Dad?
If you want, you can come back without me.

I hope to stay here
Until next Christmas, honey.

so we have agreed.

Do you really think you can create decorations?
Same as previous or better?

I am sure.

Korean)"

A festive maze between decorated trees.

There's one in Glenshee.

When you reach the middle of it
Santa Claus gives you a gift.

I think you need this.

Thanks, Bruce.

What do you think of dolphin-themed decorations?

Everyone loves dolphins.

But it is not related to Christmas.

How many dolphins do you see in the village?

I'm just trying to help.

And you are already helping us. This is part of the process.

We should think of something new and unique as well.

Something the village of Peringlinan does not have.
And you can't imitate him.

delicious!

I love these meat pies!

I found it.

I found it!

You were right, Laird Duncan.

Glenrothe Palace did not celebrate Christmas
Since 1640.

When it led to political and social confusion
To ban holidays.

But before that, it was the palace
Full of music, laughter and feasting.

Picture it. a party.

Community meeting here at the palace.

Every room is filled with laughter and color.

We will also transform the Earth by decorating it with lights
And traditional music.

So I did it
It will not be considered a disregard for tradition,

Rather, it will be considered a revival of it.

I still disagree with this.

The only proof you have is that book.

The laird in 1640 was Laird Robert.

Why are holidays no longer celebrated?

And continues to reside
This alleged birthday party?

The reason was not mentioned.
There's just a drawing of him here.

Look, grandfather. His features are as angry as yours.

incorrect.

The award for the best birth village would look great
In your trophy cabinet.

It may look like that.

I can also invite other lords and ladies.

And show them that Glenrothy Palace...
He still remembers how to throw a party.

no. Anyway, this is a palace, not a village.

But it is located within the village boundaries.
Thus, it is subject to the laws.

"Glenrothy," you said, Laird
Your coat of arms represents friendship.

What greater sign of friendship
What's better than opening your doors to others at Christmas?

So, what are you waiting for?

You have work to do.

We will decorate the palace and set tables
And food in the dance hall,

It would be great if we had guests
To the tune of bagpipes.

Hemish, can your brother in Aberdeen...
Find bagpipes quickly?

I'm afraid he can't.

But my sister in Dundee can.

amazing. call her.

We will present poetic novels and games.

And dance.

We need traditional Scottish dancing.

- That sounds great.
excellent.

We're having a Kelly dance.

So, everyone, find a partner.

Mike, I'll teach you the steps,

And Alex, you can dance with Emma.

- I'm sure Alex...
- We'll be busy.

This is nonsense. This is your party, Emma.

And it will be held at your home, Alex.

You will lead the keli dance.

Cute. Is it yours?

It's Rona's. To help me explain
Other dancers' websites.

Now, stand in front of me but don't come too close.

no. Go back.

good. Good.

Teddy and the doll will start the dance,

Followed by the penguin and the dinosaur.

It's our turn. do you understand?

no.

Just follow me.

First, the greeting.

No, you're a lady, so you have to bow like a lady.

-You asked me to imitate you.
-I know, but you have to bow like a lady.

So do that.

Then we get closer to each other.

Then we perform the steps.

start!

Keep going. Focus well.

good. Switch.

Okay.

- Now we hold hands and go around.
- Are we going around?

thus. start!

Hold on.

whatever".

a surprise!

An old man brought me in here.

Alex, this is Brad, baby.

Brad, this is Alex.

Nice to meet you, Alex.

You have a wonderful home.

After we spoke on the phone
She explained to me how amazing this place is,

Changed some meeting dates
I booked my first flight here.

That's very kind of you, but...

Why didn't you call ahead and tell me you were coming?

I wanted to surprise you.

Brad, this is no longer a vacation trip for me.

I'm planning and organizing a huge party.

A party can give me a huge boost
In my job if I get good at it.

That's great. And don't worry about me.

I promise to stay out of your way
While you are doing your work.

But, that wouldn't be fair to you
After coming all this distance.

decent. I'm sure I'll find something
I keep myself busy during my visit.

Wow!

Take a screwdriver and help me if you want.

No I'm fine. Thanks.

I like your house.

he is amazing!

That's what we saw too.

It's unfortunate that you don't make good use of it.

Emma is organizing a party this Christmas Eve
That's great,

But, what follows?

I work in the hotel and leisure industry.

I am happy to share my experiences with your family.

Understood.

Emma told me that the management of this estate
All year round is a challenge.

With my help and connections,

I can turn it into a profitable golf club and resort.

Golf club and resort.

My dad hates golf.

Although Scotland invented this game.

He also detests spas.

I'm sure I can convince him,

When I show him the accounts.
Can you arrange a meeting for me with him?

If that's what you really want?

amazing.

I think we will all benefit from this.

see you later.

But, don't mention any of this to Emma.

Not until we make progress on it, right?

You should also find mistletoe as a lucky charm.

Then the party will be great.

We will win the award for best birth village
And you can visit Glenrothy again.

Ruona, we don't need luck for this to happen.

I am glad to be back here.

If that's what the rest of your family wants.

Well, I'll have to ask my grandfather.

But I'm sure Uncle Alex...
He'll be glad to have you back next Christmas.

Then you can make him happy again.

What? Isn't he usually happy?

He was happy in the past,
But my grandmother became very ill at Christmas,

And it never got better.

I am very sorry.
decent.

I was very young and didn't understand what was happening.

But I remember that my mother and Uncle Alex...
They were very sad.

After that, Christmas was never the same.

So, why don't we try
To make this Christmas

Best Christmas Glenrothy has ever had?

Ruona, go and put this on
With the rest of the pine cones in the hut.

Good.

Get out of my house!

- And here is the other one?
-Is there something wrong?

Don't claim ignorance.

You come to Glenrothy, you're having a party
And you put up decorative lights,

It's all for one purpose, right?

- To deceive me and my family.
I don't understand.

refrigerator"?

I just asked him if he was thinking about selling the mansion
For the hotel chain company I work for.

But he refused to see my offer.

an offer?
- Engineering maps and diagrams.

As if you didn't know.

You didn't know.

I'm sure about that.

Unless you have proof to the contrary,
Don't accuse her again.

Still guilty.

So, the party and the lights,

I'll cancel all of that.

That's my final decision.

I take a chance when I see a place
Includes potential for success.

This place could become great.

-It's really cool.
- For the family that lives there.

But, why don't more people enjoy it?
By enjoying it?

Not that the laird
He will not benefit financially from this.

It's pronounced "laird."

And it's not all about the money, Brad.

This place has history and traditions.

Wait, are you siding with them?

You are my beloved.

I don't feel like I'm your lover now.

She didn't want to come here with me, but just in case
Discovering an investment opportunity, you traveled immediately.

What does this mean for our relationship?

I'm sure there's a woman in New York.
You love your drive and ambition.

I hope you find it.

I want you to be happy.

I also want you to be happy.

I'm sorry.

no. decent.

I knew to my core
That we are not right for each other.

I wish I had made this decision earlier.

Then we would continue organizing the party.

We still have to organize it.

I reminded my father that he had invited all his friends
And his really important guests.

The ceremony must be canceled at this late stage
It may cause him embarrassment.

Thank you.

Is there anything I can do to return the favor?

Okay.

I would be very pleased if you spent Christmas here.

Until Hogmanay at least.

New Year's Eve?
Yes.

And your father too, of course.

Unless it's either of you
Forced to return to America.

I do not mean...

I had to, but...

I don't have to anymore.

So, the matter is settled.

Sorry about your breakup with Brad.

decent.

I realized that my heartbeat was not racing
When I think about it.

And now? Are you rushing for someone else?

Looks great.

Miss McKenzie,

whatever",

I owe you an apology.

I blamed you for Brad's plans and intentions
Without any evidence.

I understand how that looked.

And you were protecting your home.

Which you improved.

I haven't seen Ruona this excited in years.

Or "Alex".

I know you are very busy
And you have a lot of work.

But, if he has a moment...

I don't think you brought a formal dress for this trip.

So, I think you'll like this.

It's beautiful.

It was for my dear wife
When she was your age.

So, I can't...

No, I insist.

She would have wanted a woman to wear it
She has like your heart and soul.

She loved Christmas too.

I regret not letting her celebrate it
As she wished.

Thank you.

I would be honored to wear it.

What is your opinion?

It should be much larger.

- Wasn't that what I told you once?
- And I listened.

in the end.
- Bring your coat.

Let's go and find a bigger one.

I can't, I still have to
Complete a lot of tasks.

Don't worry, I will call you if I need help.

We passed dozens of suitable trees.

what are you looking for?

You'll see soon. I thought this would please you.

To try to create the perfect Christmas.

I am happy.

Seeing the palace open and decorated for the holidays...

there.

Mistletoe plant.

This will make Ruona very happy.

It may give us the luck we need
To win the competition.

And for anything else we may need luck.

We are directly below it.

I think it wouldn't be appropriate
Not following traditions.

That is right.

This must be Megan and she needs help.

"Gwen"?

Emma, I need you in New York.

Jackson was supposed to light up.
The square on Christmas Eve.

But he let me down.

So, this has become your mission.

Provided that you succeed in returning from your vacation
right on time.

Thank you, Gwen.
But to be able to do that

I must leave immediately.

Would that be a problem?

I'm doing another decorating task here.

It is important to me.

I made a promise to a specific person
To spend Christmas in Scotland.

So, you're rejecting my request?

I'm telling you, can I think about it?

At least an hour or two.

decent. I will wait for your call.

- That was my manager. that it...
- I understood what was happening.

Are you really thinking about leaving?

It's a great opportunity.
I may never have anything like it again.

I don't know what I should do.

So, let me decide for you.

- Go home.
- But, what about the competition and the party?

And spending Christmas here with you and Rona...

If you cared about us, you wouldn't think of another job.

If I didn't care about you two, I would take the job right away.

"Alex."

decent.

-I know why you reacted like this.
truly?

This is the first birthday she's been looking forward to since...

Since your mother died.

I'm bothered by your mentioning of this.

You don't know me and you don't know my family.

You are the ultimate stranger.

And you always will.

So, maybe I should go home.

I will definitely not stop you.

Bruce, check that all guests are welcome
And provide them with food and drink.

Megan, you should just hang up the last lights.

I know you will do a great job.

But you can't leave us.

Sorry, but important business happened in New York.

I must return home.

So, I'll come back with you.

The road to the airport is long.

No, Dad, stay here.

You and Ruth deserve to spend Christmas together.

I know how you feel about it.

And I think you know that too.

Call me as soon as your plane lands.

Hello, Rona,

Shouldn't you be wearing a ball gown?

Is it true that you are leaving?

- Sorry, but I have to go.
you will come back?

I'm not sure.

But, maybe you can visit me
In New York one day.

And I can show you all the holiday lights there.

I would be pleased.

"Welcome to the Glenrothe Arms Pub."

"Gwen's calling you."

Look, Uncle Alex, it's snowing.

Well, that was snow before it melted.

And look at my dress.

You are the most beautiful girl here, Rona.

And look up there.

I found a lucky mistletoe for you.

-Aren't you happy?
indeed.

I wish Emma was here to see him
And to see snow.

Eat a meat pie and rejoice.

Emma's departure saddens her.

Yeah, it's weird that you decided to leave so suddenly.

She was offered a job, but...

I was the reason. I got emotional...

I overreacted.
And she spoke rudely.

My fear of losing her,
Even at Christmas,

It means I lost her forever.

You have her phone number, call her and apologize
And tell her you were stupid.

no. It requires fixing the situation
After what I said to her, a personal confrontation.

So, do it.

I imagine New York is beautiful
New Year's Eve.

Especially if Emma is the one decorating it.

I can't leave everything and travel.

But you can.

Everything that happened made me
I'm re-evaluating what I think is right for the estate.

and for you.

Investing and adopting ways of working
Allowing you more time to live your life.

The life you want.

Bad for tradition.

Slown down. I still can't accept it
To openly express feelings.

Once the judging and party are over,

I'll drive to the airport and get on the first flight.

Oh my God!

You won't have to.

I had returned.

- I hope you don't mind.
- I don't mind, of course.

About what happened and what you said...

ladies and gentlemen. Let each of you take a partner
Let's start the Kelly dance.

I had returned. This is amazing.
Arrived on time.

Sorry for the way I spoke to you.

Excuse me?

I said I was sorry
The way I spoke to you.

Me too.
- I'm late. It's your turn.

I didn't mean to make you angry

- By recalling painful memories.
- No, I'm glad you did that.

Remembering the past made me think about my future.

-We must keep dancing.
certainly.

Sorry for calling you weird.

sorry. I didn't hear what you said.

wait a moment.

Sorry for calling you weird.

You mean so much more to me than that.

My life has changed for the better since I met you.

And my life as well.

When I stood in the village and saw the snow falling,

It was a perfect moment.

Then my manager called and...
She asked me about my decision.

So I remembered my advice.

That Christmas
It is the time we spend with those we love.

So I came back.

I'm so glad you're back.

Of course, you all know my son Alex.

But, we should all show appreciation to Emma.

Who organized this beautiful evening.

An evening I was just told
It turned into a winning night.

We succeeded. Glenrothy is the ultimate birth village.

“December 24th. (Glenrothy). £20,000.
"Best birth village."

I think this is for you.

I'd be glad if you kept it.

You have a trophy cabinet.

I was hoping you would say that.

But you can see it when you visit us.

Of course, that is if you choose to leave.

This hall is full of lords and earls
And landowners.

They all complimented your work.

And they all want you to decorate their role

At weddings and official visits

And Christmas, of course.

If you stay here in Scotland
You can choose the work you want.

think about it.

What do you think that?

I'm sure he would like to stay here.

If he hasn't decided to stay here already.

But moving from one country to another

And start a new life here,

And create a house...

It's a big adventure.

An adventure I am happy to take.

I'm excited for the future.

But, let's not forget the ancient traditions.

I told you it would bring good luck.
