(phone ringing)

I'm still lost.

I should have come with you\Ninstead of hanging back

A few days.

Yes. You should\Nhave come with me.

It's christmas\Nfor christmas' sake.

Then again, you're not exactly\Nthe outdoorsy type of person.

What is that supposed to mean?

Your idea of roughing it\Nis ikea on a Saturday.

Because that place\Nis like a casino.

There's no windows,\Nthere's no clocks

And the house always wins.

Anyways, I'm trying to\Nkeep our business afloat.

And I appreciate it,\Nbut I am committed to

Keeping our family\Nchristmas tradition alive.

Plus, going to this town\Nis on my bucket list.

Because of that postcard\Nyou found at grandma's?

It's like fate that\Nshe wanted us to find it.

Like she really\Nwanted us to go there.

Well, if only she\Nalso left you directions.

(chuckling)

When are mom and dad coming up?

The 23rd. I can't wait\Nfor everybody to get here

So we can celebrate\Nchristmas together.

What's so special about\Na cottage country boat parade?

Annual christmas\Nharbor festival.

Every year,\Nall the boats in the harbor

Get decorated for christmas.

It's what mistletoe lake\Nis famous for, tara.

Well, you and I have very\Ndifferent bucket lists.

Alright. Hang on, tara.

Mom and dad are calling.

Okay.

Hi, mom. Hi, dad.

Did you get there?

Not yet.

Hi, sweetie.

Tell me.\NHow did they manage to hold

A boat festival in\Nthe middle of winter?

I mean, I'm no scientist,\Nbut I heard that water turns

Into this thing called\Nice when it gets cold.

I don't know, dad.\NChristmas magic.

We're so excited about\Nseeing you honey.

Me too, mom, but I gotta go.

I'm still lost and I have\Ntara on the other line.

I'll see you guys in a few days.

Did dad that ask you why\Nthe lake doesn't freeze over?

Yep.\NFor about the millionth time.

I mean,\NI'd tell him to google it,

But that would require\Nteaching him how to google.

So, we'll have to ask\Nsomebody at the hotel.

Oh, speaking of, I drove past\Nthe sunset inn on the freeway

- About five minutes ago.\N- Mm-hm.

I cancelled our reservation.\NWe are not staying there.

My sister the princess.

Okay. So, where are\Nwe all supposed to say?

Oh, I'm sure there's a cute\Nbed and breakfast in town.

I'm so excited.

You're not wearing those

Christmas ornament earrings,\Nare you?

Me? Christmas ornament earrings?

Don't be crazy.

Good, 'cause they make\Nyour head look big.

Anyways, please do us a favor.

If you happen to see any\Npotential business opportunities

Pounce on them.

We could use anything\Nwe can get right now.

Yeah, yeah.\NGet back to work, scrooge.

Yeah, yeah.\NMerry christmas. See you soon.

Hope you get there.

Gps:\NProceed to the route.

Hi, do you work here?

That's an odd question\Nconsidering I'm standing

Behind the counter.

(laughing)\Nright. Of course, silly me.

Well, I was wondering--

Actually, I don't.

- You don't--\N- work here.

Well, if you don't work here,

Then you probably shouldn't\Nbe behind the counter.

I suppose you're right.

So, you're from the city?

- The city.\N- Mm-hm.

You do know there's\Nmore than one, right?

You know, I heard that.\NI don't much believe it.

See, we country folk, we're not\Nas gullible as you think.

Next, you'll try to convince me\Nthat the world isn't flat.

(laughing)\Nalright. Yep. You got me.

I am in fact from the city.

Well, I hate to disappoint,

But they're all\Nout of mistle-toast.

They'll be making more few days.

Mistle-toast?

Yeah, christmas nutmeg,\Nmistle-toast.

It's a local delicacy.

Always a big hit\Nwith the seasonals.

Seasonals.

Yeah, you know, tourists.

(clearing throat)

(bell ringing)

Thanks for watching the store,\Ndad. See you at dinner.

Okay. No problem, em.

Hope you enjoy your stay.

I'll do my best.

You visiting?

Yeah.

Well, we're all out of--

Mistle-toast. I heard.

What exactly is mistle-toast?

It's basically like\Na fancy version of waffles.

They're really good though.

Are you the one that\Ndecorated the store?

Yeah, my dad's not\Nreally into decorating

For the holidays this year.

So, this is my only outlet.

The finishing touch is\Na display for the window.

I want to do a diorama of\Nthe christmas harbor festival.

I am so excited to see it,\Nthe real one I mean.

And your diorama, I'm sure\Nit's going to be cool, too.

Thanks.

It's amazing. How this is\Nthe only harbor festival

That takes place at christmas.

Because of the hot spring.

The--

There's a natural\Nhot spring under the lake,

Which stops it\Nfrom freezing over.

That's why the boats can stay\Nin the water all year round.

A lot of the tourist think\Nit's because of christmas magic.

Hm, silly tourists.

Is it a true that all\Nthe boats in the harbor

Get all decorated with lights\Nand go all out?

Yeah.

Well, all the boats\Nin the harbor

Except one this year.

Would you happen\Nto know if there's

A hotel in town that\NI could book a room?

There's only one inn,\Nbut it's probably fully booked

Because of christmas.

You can go over\Nand try your luck.

My grandma runs it.

It's about a block\Ndown main street.

That way.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Woman: I'm so sorry,\Nwe're completely full.

Christmas is peak\Nseason due to the--

Christmas harbor festival.

It's kind of why I'm here.

We've been booked\Nout for months now.

You could try\Nthe sunset hotel.

I actually had\Na reservation there

And I stupidly canceled it.

Why don't I call and see if\Nyour room is still available?

Please. Thank you.

You're welcome.

Hey, there.\NYeah, emmaline at mistletoe b&b.

Listen, do you\Nhave any vacancies?

Right. Yes.

Thank you. Same to you. Bye-bye.

Sorry. The last reservation\Nwent ten minutes ago.

They don't have\Nanything until the 23rd.

When you were planning your,\Nuh, what do you call it?

Annual christmas tradition.

You were researching\Nmistletoe lake

And you inspired me\Nto check it out.

I have only been\Nhere a couple days

To come later in the week.

Wow, how serendipitous.

Yeah, how's business?

Oh. You know,\Nthings are a plugging along.

I gotta tell you again\Nhow talented you are.

That last property you\Nstaged for me was the reason

It sold so quickly\Nand a bidding war to boot.

It was in a great location.

It was about to sell regardless.

No, no, no, no. I don't do that.

It was a terrible location\Nand needed a lot of work.

Still, I did very\Nwell because of you.

Would you know how far\Nsuttonville is from here?

Three hours.

I'd be halfway home by then.

Wow, you run the store\Nand decorate it all by yourself.

That's impressive.

Thanks.

My dream is to be\Na set designer someday.

I applied to this private\Nart school in new hampshire.

It's one of the best private\Nhigh schools in the country.

Well, if it were up to me,\Nyou would be a shoe-in.

I wish I could have gone\Nto a school like that

When I started out.

You're a designer as well?

Yeah, interior design,\Nbut now my sister and I

Have a home staging business.

What's home staging?

Sometimes people buy\Nvacant houses and fix them up

So they can sell\Nthem for more money.

They hire people like me\Nto decorate them,

Make them feel more homey,\Nso they can charge more.

How come you're not spending\Nchristmas with your boyfriend

Or husband or something?

Sorry, was that\Na rude question to ask?

No, no, it's fine.

You just-- you remind me of\Nmyself when I was your age.

Well, I'm not spending christmas\Nwith a boyfriend or husband

Or something, because I don't--\NI don't have a boyfriend

Or husband or something.

Why not?

You seem like a catch?

I guess I'm just\Nwaiting for the right guy.

You don't seem like the type of\Nperson to be waiting for a guy.

You're right.

Well, maybe I'm just\Nkeeping my eye out for

The right one to cross my path.

Smart.

You want to come\Nsee my dad's boat?

I love to, but I think I should\Nfigure out my plan first.

Country boy who doesn't\Nwork at the general store.

Nothing to be ashamed.

Do you want some eggnog, dad?

Yeah. I'd love some, sweetie.

Come on, reilly.

Permission to come aboard?

Thank you.

Gorgeous.

Yeah, you get\Nsick of it after a while.

I really, really\Nlove the country.

You know, it's odd that\Nsomeone from the city

Has such affinity\Nfor the country.

Just as odd as a guy who's sick\Nof the water, but owns a boat.

Dad!

- There we go.\N- Thank you.

Reilly is visiting\Nfor christmas,

But she doesn't\Nhave anywhere to stay.

And I just had\Nthe most brilliant idea.

I always get a little\Nnervous when you say that, em.

Reilly should stay here.

Reilly and ray:\NHere?

You mean like on the boat?

My dad and I live\Nin a cottage in town.

The boat just sits here empty.

Think of it like\Na floating airbnb.

I could pay you.

Dad!

We don't take money from\Nvisitors that are in a bind.

That's not our style.

Well, if you're fixing it up,\Nat least let me help.

You know anything\Nabout inboard motors?

Can't be that much different\Nfrom a car engine, right?

I used to help my dad\Nsuit up the car before

Family road trips.

And she's really good\Nwith christmas decorations.

Okay, remember what\Nwe talked about though?

We're probably not\Ndecorating the boat this year.

That guy he's very interested.

He's going to\Ntell us any day now.

I know, but just in case.

You're welcome to stay here,

Until the sale\Ngoes through of course.

Ah. New belt, huh?

I mean,\Nthis one works just fine.

(laughing)\Nthat is such a dad joke.

So, how did you find yourself

In a little town for christmas?

Well, growing up,\Nmy parents had a business

Where they would buy houses,\Nfix them up, and sell them.

So we moved about once a year.

My sister and I were constantly\Nfinding ourselves having to

Adjust to new schools, new\Nneighborhoods, and friends.

So, my grandma\Ncame up with a solution.

Every christmas,\Nwe got to choose where we would

Spend the holidays as a family.

You know, gave us something\Nto look forward to every year.

I like that.

Well, a few months ago,\NI was going through

My grandmother's things\Nand found postcards

Of mistletoe lake.

The town looked so beautiful,\NI just knew I had to

Come see it for myself.

You weren't kidding.

You really know\Nwhat you doing down here.

Well, it hasn't started yet.

This alternator's pretty old.

Wanna give it a shot?

Alright, let's do it.

So, tell me.

How did this whole harbor\Nchristmas festival start?

Well, um, my dad.

One christmas, he wanted to\Ndo something really special

For my mom.

So, on christmas eve,\Nhe stayed up all night

Decorating the boat with lights\Nand ornaments to surprise her.

And she loved it so much that\Nwe had to do it every year.

And next thing you know everyone\Non the lake who had a boat

Starts decorating their boats,

And it became a local tradition.

You know, after my dad passed,\Nall the locals got together

And decided to keep\Nthe tradition going

In honor of his memory.

That's incredible.

But soon after\Nall the year-rounders

Started moving away\Nand replaced by seasonals.

Tourists.

Yeah.

I mean, they kept the tradition\Nof the festival going.

But they didn't know how\Nor why it started.

Why did all\Nthe locals move away?

Well, this used to be\None of the best kept secrets

Of cottage country,

And then some\Nrich guy came along,

Bought up one of\Nthe old cottages.

And he renovates it\Nto the point where

It's not a cottage anymore.

It's mansion on the lake,

And more people\Ncame to the same thing

And soon price of\Nliving got so high

That the locals\Ncouldn't afford it anymore.

I've even felt the crunch,\NI mean...

It's gotten so expensive\Njust to moor the boat,

I really have no choice\Nbut to sell it.

This town just isn't the same\Nplace I grew up in anymore.

Still, you must be\Nreally proud that your dad

Started such a unique\Ntradition here.

Yeah.

If you wanted to enter the boat\Ninto the festival this year,

You know,\Nfor the last time and all,

I'd be happy to help.

I'd really like that.

But, you know, the sale on\Nthe boat could go through

Any day and I don't want to tell\Nem we're going in the festival

And then have to sell before it\Nhappens, you know? That's...

That'd really break her heart.

Okay.\NWhat is wrong with dad jokes?

Considering I am a dad.

That's no excuse\Nfor dorky humor.

Anyway, you can put\Nclauses and business deals

And it's like asking\Nfor something you want.

Where you going with this, em?

We should put a clause\Nin the business deal to

Sell the boat that the buyer\Nhas to move in after christmas.

That way, we can still enter it\Ninto the harbor festival.

I could always ask.

You will?!

Do you need to respond to that?

No, no. It's fine.

Actually, I left for the city\Nwhen I was in my twenties.

Went to an office every day.\NWore a suit.

You? A suit? No!

In fact, she's the reason\NI'm here in mistletoe lake.

Is that right?

Absolutely.

Louis, what brings you\Nout on this night?

Well, I just thought I'd come by\Nand have a look at this boat

That I'm thinking of buying.

Louis is my potential buyer.

Oh.

I just have to have one more\Nconversation with my accountant

And I'm going to\Nget back to you.

No problem.

We are having a little trouble\Nwith the engine's alternator,

But don't worry. I'll get it\Nall sorted before the sale.

Ah. I'm sure it'll be fine.

I do like this boat.

It's perfect for\Nwhat I'm looking for.

Anyway, I should leave you.\NNice seeing you both.

Oh, uh, louis.

There was one thing\NI wanted to ask.

Would you don't consider\Ntaking possession of

The boat after christmas?

My daughter has this dream\Nof entering the boat

Into the harbor festival\None last time.

Well, it's just that, uh,

I've already invited my family

To come celebrate\Nchristmas here.

Of course, right. Yeah.

Well, let's see now.

Would you be willing\Nto have myself, my sister,

And her kids come\Ncelebrate with you?

Absolutely. The whole\Nfamily's invited. Yeah.

Then great! Problem solved.

I'll take possession\Nafter christmas.

Alright, I'll call you tomorrow.\NReilly, let's have that lunch.

Sure.

Good night, you two.

Good night.

It's so bizarre that\Nyou two know each other.

Crazy.

I hope I am doing the right\Nthing by extending the sale

'til after the holidays.

Oh, emma will be ecstatic.

And you know,\Nlouis seems like a good guy.

He's not local but at least he\Nwants to use it for his family.

He is a good guy, right?

I mean, I don't know him\Nreally well, but overall, yes.

I just would hate for someone to\Ncome in and completely gut it.

Turn into something\Nunrecognizable.

You know, having people here\Nto enjoy it the way we did

So, you'll never believe it,\Nbut she's really happy.

No. Really? I couldn't tell.

And we forgot about dessert.

How could we\Nforget about dessert?

Must've been quite\Nsomething growing up here.

I'm kind of jealous.

Wasn't there a place from\Nyour childhood that always

Felt like home?

One place.

When I was about seven years old\Non deanewood crescent.

(both chuckling)

The house wasn't\Nanything special,

But it was cozy.

I hoped we'd live there forever.

Deanewood. Sounds like\Nsomething out of pleasantville.

It kind of was.

I still remember\Nthe day we came home

And my parents sat us down\Nto tell us that the house

Had sold\Nand we were moving again.

Broke my heart.

And that year that\Nwe were at that house,

It was my turn to\Nchoose a christmas destination

And I chose not to go anywhere.

We had a staycation.

It was my favorite\Nchristmas ever.

Yeah, nothing beats home.

Alright.

What's your middle name?

Why?

I want to know\Nyour soap opera name.

It's the middle name\Nplus the place you grew up.

Do we know each other\Nwell enough for that?

Oh, come on. I'll tell you mine\Nif you tell me yours.

(groaning)

Mildred.

I was named after my great aunt.

Actually, mildred deanewood.

It's a pretty\Ngood soap opera name.

Yeah, a 1950s soap opera maybe.

Okay, your turn.

Nah, it's too embarrassing.

Wha-- cheater!

- Whoa!\N- (laughing)

Save the marshmallow!

Can I ask you\Na personal question?

How is someone like you single?

How do you know I'm single?

Well, I suppose I don't.

I assumed since you were here\Nover the holidays by yourself.

Emma told you, didn't she?

Yeah, she did.

But to be fair, she did\Nhold out as long as she could,

Which is about nine minutes.

It's a new record for her.

So, it's the same old story?

Married to work?

Not really. My sister is\Nactually the workaholic.

I was engaged until\Nearlier this year.

Oh.

And what happened?

If you don't mind me asking.

It's fine, uh...

Well, everyone thought\Nwe were perfect for each other.

You know, perfect house.

Perfect car.

Perfect life.

One morning, I woke up\Nand realized that what looked

Perfect wasn't\Nactually perfect at all.

We were both just playing roles

And I couldn't do it anymore.

It was tough breakup,\Nbut in the end, it was--

It was best for both of us.

Right. Yeah, I know\Nall about tough breakups.

Emma's mom and I,\Nwe're still on good terms.

Thankfully.

It's what makes\Nselling the boat so hard.

I mean, emma's already\Ngone through the break-up,

Me and her mom,\Nand my biggest worry is

Just letting her down again,\Nyou know?

It's even more\Nbeautiful at night.

She's just so talented.

She's applied to\Nthis private high school.

You know, if she gets in\Nthen I can at least use

The money from the boat\Nto pay for her tuition.

You really good dad, ray.

Despite all the dad jokes?

(laughing)

Amazingly so, yes.

So, you know why they\Ncall it mistletoe lake?

Because mistletoe grows wild\Nall around the woods here,

And the legend goes that\Nthe tradition of kissing

Under a mistletoe actually\Nstarted in this very town.

We're very proud of it.

Oh.\N(laughing)

Well, that I can tell,\Nbut you do know though

That that tradition of\Nthe mistletoe started

From greek mythology, right?

Why let the facts get\Nin the way of a good story?

You know if people in the town\Nwant to take responsibility

For people kissing\Nover the holidays

What's the harm in that?

I'm sure there's a bunch of\Nmistletoe around us right now,

Don't you think?

Absolutely. It's all around us.

Probably shouldn't\Nbreak tradition, should we?

Definitely not. I mean, I--

And you don't need to\Nforgive me if you don't want to,

But can you please\Njust do one thing?

Don't pull the boat out of\Nthe christmas harbor festival.

For your family.

As far as the boat is concerned,

You'll have to talk to louis.

He's the rightful owner.

We just signed the paperwork.

Boat sold.

But I thought you wanted\Nto preserve the boat.

Can't tell louis what he can\Nand can't do with the boat.

He can scuttle it and let it\Nsink to the bottom of the lake

If he wants.

Like the lusitania?\NNah, I'm not going to do that.

And besides,\Nwhat difference does it make?

Sounds like this\Nwhole town's going to

Be completely\Nunrecognizable anyway.

Louis as the new\Nrightful owner of this boat,

Would you be willing to let me\Nfulfill my promise to emma

For her and her family to\Nhave one last christmas here?

You can take possession exactly\None minute past midnight,

After the festival.

The thing is is that\NI really wanted to

Enter the boat myself this year.

But I guess I can't\Nrefuse you, reilly,

After all you've done,\Nso fine 12:01 it is.

Christmas.

Thank you.

Wait, I have another request.

I don't want the boat\Npart of the festival

Unless you're part\Nof it as well.

I love the boat.

But the only reason\NI do is because

It means spending time\Nwith you and grandma.

The harbor festival's\Nmeaningless unless you're there.

Promise you'll come?

Promise.

Enjoying your evening?

Reilly. Yes, yes.

Family's loving it.

I-- I have to say,

I feel somewhat awkward about

What happened on\Nthe boat yesterday.

The last thing I would\Nwant is for anyone to

Think that I'm the bad guy.

No, louis, I'm sure\Nno one feels that way.

I hope not.

I mean, after all,\Nit's not personal.

It's just business, right?

(sighing)\NI love this town.

It just feels so...

Authentic.

Yes, exactly.

Authentic.

Let's get you a drink, shall we?

Please. Yes.

Excuse me.

I feel like\Ngrandpa's here with us.

Don't you, grandma?

I do.

You know, I think\NI owe you both an apology.

I've been so preoccupied with\Ntrying to do what I thought was

Best for the family.

Despite it all,

I still lost the boat.

You didn't lose the boat.

None of this is your fault.

The most important thing,\Nmore important than anything

Else in the world,

Is that we three are together.

That's what your father\Nwould have wanted.

More than anything.

I love you.

I love you, too. Both of you.

I think you better\Nsee about your date.

♪

- Hi.\N- Hi.

This is gorgeous.

And so are you.

You're looking\Nvery handsome yourself.

I had a good stylist.

(laughing)

There is one thing that\Ncomplete the look though.

(gasping)

You found my earring. Where?

It was on the boat.

Of course.

But I think you should keep it

As a memento.

I am so sorry about\Nthe things that I said.

Louis told me everything.\NYou weren't involved with

Buying the boat\Nor any of his business plan.

I should not have\Nreacted the way I did.

It's okay. You were going\Nthrough a tough time.

Still, it's no excuse.

Without you we wouldn't be here

Enjoying this last\Nbeautiful christmas.

I think my dad\Nwould be really proud.

Mom: Hi, honey!\N(laughing)

(gasping)

Mom! Dad!

You guys made it!

Hey, darling.

Hi, tara.

You remember my sister, tara?

How could I forget?

And these are my parents.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

Likewise.

Hi.

Such a beautiful\Ntown you live in.

It's the hot springs, isn't it?

I'm sorry?

It's the hot springs\Nunder the lake that

Keeps it from\Nfreezing over, right?

That's right.

Wait, dad,\Nhow did you find that out?

He googled it.

Oh!

(laughing)

Ray, I just want to apologize\Nif I came off as insensitive

The other day,\NI want you to know I am not

The type of person that\Nwould come between my sister

And the person\Nshe's in love with.

(clearing throat)

You know what? Why don't we go\Nget some drinks, shall we?

Just right this way.

It was nice to meet you.

Maybe I'll even track down louis\Nwhile I'm at it.

Yeah.\N(laughing)

The guy you're\Nin love with, huh?

I'm afraid so yes.

I guess we're in the same boat.

(laughing)

Dad joke.

It was right--\Nit was right there.

(both laughing)

Do you want to dance?

I thought you were\Nnever going to ask.

You don't know that yet.

Yes, I do.

It's been slipping\Naway for a while.

Louis: This is some party.

Thank you again for inviting me\Nto celebrate with you.

And the emma, huh?

Sure is exquisite.

Well, it's going to\Nbe your boat soon.

You can have as many\Nparties as you want on it.

That'd be nice.

But I'm not going to be\Nthe one to host those parties.

After the experience\NI've had here in mistletoe lake

I couldn't live with myself\Nif I took this boat away from

You and your family.

Besides, this is your home.

It should stay\Nexactly the way it is.

Can't put a price\Non authenticity.

Same thing goes for\Nthe entire harbor by the way,

Because I'm canceling that deal.

Nobody's gentrifying this place.

Louis, are you sure?

I'm positive.

I don't do anything halfway.

Look, the warmth\NI felt here tonight,

That's the best christmas gift\NI could have ever got.

Merry christmas.

Merry christmas.

Speaking of christmas gifts.

Wait right here, okay?\NRight here.

(chuckling)

Ray!

Did you have\Nsomething to do this?

We had a chat,\Nbut I never expected this.

(laughing)

Brand new alternator.

- (both laughing)\N- as I recall, you need one.

Yes. I do.

Merry christmas.\NNow, if we could only find

Someone to install it for us.

Let's do it.\N(laughing)

Let's do it.

- Lead the way.\N- Ray: Alright.

Ray: Okay, try it now!

Hey! It works!

Nicely done.

You know what I'm thinking now?

Since you got it started,\Nyou might as well take it

Out for a spin on the lake.

I mean, it is the christmas\Nharbor festival after all.

It's true.

- I'll go get emma.\N- Alright.

Let's do it.

Dad! Guess what?!

Topher said\Nthe harbor festival committee

Voted early and that we won!

We won!

Yes, and the prize is that\Nthey've decided to let us

Keep the boat moored\Nin the harbor for free

For as long as we like.

- Really?\N- (laughing)

They said the emma is\Na historical part of

Mistletoe lake\Nand should be preserved.

(cheering, applauding)

Dad, don't worry about\Ngrafton arts academy.

I've already decided\NI'm not going.

Now that you're not\Nselling the boat,

We won't have\Nthe money for tuition.

Don't even talk like that.\NYou're going.

But dad--

Em. You're going.

But how?

It's christmas, honey.

A miracle will happen.

(phone ringing)

Hello?

Yes, it is.

Emma mitchell is my daughter.

You're not bothering me at all.

Why was there something\Nwrong with her application?

I completely understand.

Thank you.

Merry christmas to you, too.

It was the school.

They said, um...

They said you have\Na full scholarship.

A full scholarship?!

It's something they only give\Nout to a select few students

That show\Nextraordinary potential,

They announce it\Nannually on christmas eve.

(cheering, applauding)

I'm so proud of you.

Emmaline: Excuse me, everyone.

Could I have your attention?

I think there's\Nsomething really important

That we've all forgotten.

Christmas mistle-toast\Nright out of the oven.

(all laughing)

Come on in, help yourself.

Are you two going to\Ntake the boat for a spin?

Um...

Yeah, we are.

Do you want to come with us?

I do, but someone better\Nsave us some mistle-toast.

You kids have fun.

(chuckling)

♪

This boat doesn't feel like home

Just because of\Nthe way you decorated it.

From the moment\Nyou step foot on it,

Your very presence made\Nit feel like it was home.

I feel the exact same way.

My whole life, I have craved

This feeling of being at home.

From the moment I met you\Nand emma, I knew that I was.

You're not bad for a city girl.

Well, a country boy like you\Ncan do a whole lot worse.

By the way,\Nwhat is your middle name?

Do we really know each other\Nwell enough for that?

Ignatius.
