Justin Timberlake posters and you've got

my teen years in a

nutshell is this you and your

christmy and adorable and it's a little

mountain town in Colorado called

where the smoke is coming from the Bell

Striker's motor burned out it's a real

old system the electrician said it's

going to have to be replaced do you

think they can do it by Christmas Eve I

sure hope so otherwise there's going to

be a lot of very disappointed people

around here I've made a Christmas Eve

wish on those bells every year of my

life you don't really believe in that do

you all I know is last year I wish for a

job in the department and here I am you

earned this position wishing had nothing

to do with it

pump for the truck you were getting that

wonderful I'd ask you how it went but I

already know the answer did they already

send you the deal memo no I just know

that when you're involved it gets done

it gets done right your dad was the same

way I couldn't be more proud that you're

on the same path he was on you know it's

30 years ago this week I

[Music]

oh yeah absolutely it's one of the best

orthodontists in town incidentally

thank you I hear they gave away deal

points you didn't even ask for well I

just made them think it was all their

idea I can see what Harold's putting his

faith in you are you ready for life as

the CEO absolutely I may actually have

to delegate some of your work at that

point yes and that is going to be the

hardest part Jessica do yourself a favor

take some time for yourself before you

start the new

position I don't know maybe take a trip

with a special

someone oh uh I I thought you were

dating that producer well no uh turns

out Charles was more interested in

getting his movies finan than he was in

getting serious with me oh that's a

shame no it's fine happens all the time

and uh dating isn't really my priority

anyway uh so sorry I just saw an old

friend of my grandfathers would you

you Merry

Christmas thank you have we met no but

[Music]

be perfect for Morgan Enterprises to

expand in the wine market could I email

you a

perspectus absolutely yeah mhm oh that's

great okay I'll be in touch okay great

it was so lovely meeting you so nice to

meet you all

[Music]

right

[Music]

that's my favorite picture of your

parents my mom used to love to tell me

the story of the first time Glen Brook

rang the Bells on Christmas Eve you know

I never actually heard how that

tradition started really it is the

sweetest story Okay so there was a big

blizzard coming and all of the children

in town were worried that Santa wouldn't

be able to find Glenbrook because of the

storm so the church decided to ring the

bells on Christmas Eve to guide Santa to

town and then every child in town made a

wish that the storm would clear in time

for Christmas day and that's exactly

what

happened so ever since then people

thought that if you make a wish on

Christmas Eve when the bells ring your

wish will come true exactly well it

certainly worked for your mom

what do you mean oh I remember your mom

used to tell us she and Tom were

standing in front of the church on

Christmas Eve the year after they met

the bells rang and she closed her eyes

and she wished that she would marry Tom

one

day and when she opened her eyes he was

down on one

knee when never heard that

story no wonder they loved those bells

so much I thought it was just because

glennbrook is where they met I wonder if

they were going to tell me that part of

the story The Night We were supposed to

be there but then they never got the

chance oh honey I didn't mean to upset

you no no Martha you didn't I

just I've been thinking about going

there for so

long since I'm not taking over as CEO

until

January this might be my only

chance what a wonderful party thank you

Martha as always you've outdone yourself

thank

[Music]

you what's going on Grandpa I am

thinking about taking a little trip

before I take over as CEO sounds great

you want me to get the yach in the C is

ready for you actually I'm thinking

about going somewhere I haven't been in

around 30 years

Glenbrook I'm not surprised

I've been online stocking my mom's

childhood home for years she really has

a yeah uh it's a it's a rental now the

same people have owned it

forever it's

available I can actually stay in the

house my mom grew up in well that feels

like a sign doesn't it sure looks like

one sure

does I think when I'm there I'll use my

middle name and go by Jessica Emerson

that way I can just avoid the whole

Morgan thing why would you want to avoid

that cuz for once it might be nice to

see if people like me for me not for

what I can do for

them I'll be back by Christmas Day it

feels important that I hear the bells

and spend time in the place that my

parents loved so much oh make sure no

one else is using the jet actually I

think I want to drive if I leave

tomorrow morning I can be there by the

next day I'll bring my work with me I

won't miss a Beat but I will miss you

I'll miss you too but Christmas day will

be here before you know

it how about this

Brook's events leading up to Christmas

that's why you're here right you know I

suppose it is I should tell you though

we're not sure what's going to happen

with the Oldtown Christmas Bell BS event

Christmas Eve why not seems there's some

issue with the system they use to strike

the bells can't play the songs without

it do you think they'll have it fixed in

time for Christmas Eve oh I sure hope so

it's been a tradition for almost 70

years oh but don't you worry I mean even

plenty more to do around here sure yeah

there they still won't work no

apparently an engineering degree is no

match for a 1956 chime Pro you have an

engineering degree MIT don't look so

shocked sorry I I guess I was just

wondering how you ended up as a fire

chief in Glenbrook well I grew up here I

spent some time in Seattle after college

doing the whole corporate thing but

something never really felt right I

wonder how many people come to Glen

Brook and realize what they're actually

missing happens all the time

I got to get back to the station I'm

actually headed that way myself oh you

are oh um I guess after

you well certainly feels like we're

going to have another snow oh I hope so

I can't think of anything I would like

more than to be reading a book while

it's snowing outside all curled up by

the fire don't say a word I wasn't I was

going to say if you're looking for a

bookstore uh there's one up around the

corner in the art center right that's

right that's actually where I was headed

I met Terry this morning at the coffee

shop ah well I'm actually heading this

way but uh I hope you enjoy the rest of

your stay andnow if it comes well thank

you very much for the

escort

[Music]

bye

[Music]

hi are you the substitute art instructor

oh no sorry I'm um well coincidentally I

do have an art history degree but I'm

not your teacher you found it hi this

place is wonderful and it's filled with

with amazing

students they they thought I was their

teacher yeah our usual teacher had to

fly to Boston for a family emergency so

we were just waiting on the sub the

students were just getting ready to

start on their final art piece this week

before the Christmas break then it's

going to go into the gallery for the

open house this weekend if we can decide

what to paint the theme is a Glenbrook

Christmas and everyone will be painting

the Oldtown church bell

Yan

well my favorite pieces are always the

ones that show a little Slice of Life

around the main subject

like little kids making their wish on

the Bells on Christmas Eve but maybe one

kid is looking up at his mom and you can

see that's all he really

needs you sure you don't want to teach

these guys for the

week I'm sure your sub will be here any

[Music]

minute

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

oh

Wyatt hi let me help you can't let a

guest to hard labor I am happy to help I

can't let you do this all by yourself

what a wind last night de 1 2

3 I came over to ask you something did

you live next door when the Franklin

used to live here yeah for a few years

yeah and then when they moved we bought

the house for my parents to live in did

you know them Jennifer Franklin Morgan

was my

mother

was

uh she passed almost 30 years ago now oh

I'm so sorry but I'm still happy you

found your way back would you like me to

ask her around see if anyone remembers

her from grade school perhaps you could

connect with each other could we keep it

between us if you don't

mind you want your privacy I remember my

lips are

sealed so what are your plans for

today I think I'll get a Christmas tree

yeah Jessica Ruthie hi I didn't realize

the fire department sold Christmas trees

oh yeah we do it to raise money for the

art center we make it enough to give a

few kids scholarships to the after

school program well that's a very worthy

cause I was just there yesterday oh and

I was waiting for you to say I know

Shirley told me I didn't want to freak

you out too late Kyle's here too in case

you wondering I I was just getting a

tree for the house oh there's the

perfect one in the VIP section after you

I'll show you

great and just to the left just make

sure all the water's off so the pipes AR

going to

freeze hi hi uh Ruthie said this is the

VIP

section people around here seem very

invested in your love life yeah that

would be the only downside to living in

a small town when you get your heart

stomped on everyone knows it and then

everyone wants to try to fix it bad

breakup sometimes you think you know

someone and then you realize that

they're not who they say they

were shall we find you that perfect tree

not too perfect though otherwise you

won't know it's real ah

right uh let's

see this is good it is isn't

it ah I meant the

tree right uh that's what I meant it's

exactly what I me um why don't we get

her packed up and delivered for you huh

great where's your car I walked I didn't

want to scratch the roof it's my

friend's car you walked uh

okay well Ruthie promised you VIP

treatment that's exactly what you're

going to get just don't get used to it I

won't so you going to put it on the fire

engine could we do the siren no this is

not a Christmas parade I'm going to

carry it oh right of course oh siren

would have been cool though oh yeah it's

real

cool

um you going to help me no I'll just

watch you do it

walking you got a one let

[Music]

go Merry

Christmas Merry

Christmas it's perfect I can't wait to

decorate it oh you have ornaments yes I

do yeah why left me some wow these are

great

vintage

pieces they don't make them like this

anymore you know my um my parents had

some just like this yeah where are they

now your

parents well my my dad passed some years

ago oh I'm sorry and um my mom is

actually on a Christmas Cruise in the

Bahamas with some of her Bunko

friends good for

her how about your

folks um both passed away actually long

time ago I'm sorry to hear

that I know the holidays can be tough I

mean they're great but also

Bittersweet like something's always

missing

exactly I barely remember my Christmases

with them they died when I was so young

but I know they felt a lot like

this I feel really close to the

Mir do you have any family in Los

Angeles I do but Glenbrook is special

best town in the world I mean that the

people here are

incredible when my dad passed the entire

town rallied around my mom and me and

even though I was living in Seattle at

the time I realized I wanted to come

home and serve my community so I did I

moved back and I joined the fire

department just like my dad had done

before me that's

amazing it feels really good to know

you're falling in your parents footsteps

doesn't it it

does yeah however I can't say that my

fiance at the time was quite as enthused

she didn't like Glen Brook yeah let's

just say living on a fireman salary in a

small town in Colorado wasn't exactly

the life she wanted then she didn't love

you for you shouldn't matter how much

money you have yeah I was upset about it

at the time but then I realized it never

would have worked out between us we just

came from completely different

worlds

so if I were to tell you that I had

millions of dollars would that change

how you felt about

me well first of all I wouldn't believe

you you're far too

normal well I'll let you get to

it do you want to stay and help uh if

you're not on call that is even if

you're not on call you don't have to

stay I'd love

to

[Music]

great and

voila it's

beautiful did you draw this oh

yeah wow you're really talented

thanks sorry I guess you didn't want me

to see that I see

what your heart oh h no that's okay it's

uh it's uh it's it's just a

hobby well should we try the lights yes

mhm let's do

it okay let's see here 3 2

one there we

[Music]

go what was

I was talking about buying the painting

sorry you're already

committed wow you're

good yeah you know I would love to help

where to start it's the same as writing

a book or making Pottery or writing

music just follow your

heart no that's not possible $10,000 is

insane thanks are you

sure Kyle

hi is everything okay not really turns

out it's going to cost $10,000 to fix

the bells even if the town and the

church split it they just don't have the

money but they have to ring on Christmas

Eve couldn't someone just go up there

and and ring them manually no there's

not enough room for even two people up

up there I'm trying to get a recorded

version but it's just not the same not

at

all hey Mr panon oh Don Billy you guys

later okay guys so today we're going to

decide what your final piece is going to

be for the Christmas in Glenbrook

openhouse gallery

and we're going to start with some music

now many of the Great Impressionists

including Monae used music as a way to

connect their minds to their hearts and

then their hearts to the canvas so I'm

going to play some music and I would

like you to draw what you

hear okay let's try

[Music]

this okay go ahead draw whatever it

makes you think of

[Music]

hey hey you okay Terry wants my work to

be the main focus of the

show what if I can't think of anything

else to paint

it'll come you just got to give it time

and patience but everyone thinks of me

as the artist here it's my thing what if

all of a sudden I can't do it anymore

don't force it you'll find what inspires

you thank

[Music]

you

[Music]

did so how is it being living in your

mom's old house and the town

incredible I can see why they wanted to

let him in Oh Santa is

ready you can let him in just head right

on Merry Christmas

Merry

Christmas hey guys thank you Merry

Christmas Merry Christmas Darling you

like

Coco did someone say

chocolate

[Music]

okay can I ask you something yeah why

does everyone keep asking you about the

Bell instead of the mayor or someone at

the church well when I was a kid I got

lost in the woods a few miles outside of

town and while everyone was out looking

for me they decided to ring the bells

and that's how I found my way home after

that my dad volunteered to maintain them

he said you never know when someone

might need to hear

them that's what I wanted to tell you

Kyle I need to hear them

my parents were bringing me to Glenbrook

to hear the Bells on Christmas

Eve

[Music]

and well we never got the chance and now

I'm here 30 years later I'll find a way

actually I um I had an

idea

Terry what if we changed the art center

open house to a fundraiser I wish we

could but the people in town town have

already made their holiday donations

they've already been so generous except

we have a bunch of people just over that

mountain in Brantley with money to burn

and presents to buy yeah but people in

Bradley don't usually shop over here we

just need to make it seem like if they

don't they're missing out on the next

big thing trust me on this you think we

have enough art to sell I think if

everyone who takes class at the center

just does one piece will have more than

enough I don't know even planning the

open house was overwhelming it's a lot

of leg work but I can help I'll um I can

put out a blast on social media we'll

get people

talking we can do

this okay what do we have to lose I'm in

I'll go tell the kids

great you know I don't think anyone has

made such a big difference around here

in such a short amount of time I see a

problem I want to solve it well what

happens if you can't I don't know

hasn't happened

[Laughter]

[Music]

yet I want to share something with

you

[Music]

okay it's

you when I was nine

and those are my

parents you mentioning your parents you

said that they wanted you to hear the

Bells on Christmas Eve but you never got

the chance so what

happened we went skiing for the day and

on the way back uh a deer ran in front

of the

car my dad swerved to avoid it and I'm

so sorry

thanks so I always thought about coming

here on my own but there always seemed

to be an excuse not

to but then when I found out my mom's

childhood home was for

rent I knew it was time this was your

mom's place yeah until she was six that

explains why you fit in so well here in

a way this is your home too I wanted to

tell you sooner

but I I didn't think I would get close

enough to anyone to talk about it well I

mean I mean I don't think either of us

expected

that but thank you for telling me I I

think that honesty is the most important

thing in the world and I appreciate it I

know and that's why I also want to talk

to you about my

career

hi hi

Terry you guys everyone is so excited

about the fundraiser and the opportunity

to show off how wonderful Glen Brook is

what we really should be careful the

last thing we want is for people to

think that Glen Brook is the next big

thing before you know it it's going to

become Brantley too what do you mean

Brantley was a lot like Glen Brooke and

then people moved in there bringing

millions of dollars and the next thing

you knew it was too expensive for

regular people like you and me to live

there money changes things and it

certainly changes people not everyone

with money is a bad person no but their

priorities are different and I know that

firsthand I got to head out my carolers

are about to thing we'll be right there

okay I'm sorry you were saying something

about your

career yeah uh just that I'm so glad

that I'm taking a break

so I can focus on the

fundraiser me

too oh sounds like they're

starting shall

we is this

okay this is

nice let's

go okay guys Christmas Eve is one week

away and the fundraiser is in only 3

days I've got an entire baking crew

ready for this event and I called

everyone who's ever taken a class here

and said all hands on deck so we have

local artists Potters jewelry makers

everyone's going to contribute something

and we'll auction off rides in the

firetruck and let someone be cheap for a

day and all of the stores and restaurant

on Maine are donating a percentage of

their profits on the day of the

fundraiser this is amazing I've started

getting the word out on social media

through some people I know in Brantley

you know people in Brantley Just Friends

of Friends

oh I haven't forgotten about you guys do

you all have your artwork great now

remember it is completely up to you if

you want to sell these they're your

personal projects it's totally your

choice do we get a cut of the

profits Billy it's where the greater

good what other greater good is there

than Taco

money I'm just

kidding we all want to help all right 3

days let's do this you guys ready yeah

here we

[Music]

go you will need to tell him

eventually how did you find out did you

think I'd let you teach a bunch of kids

with at least doing a Google search but

I was using my middle name as my last

name

I didn't think it would matter I mean I

didn't expect for any of this to happen

I came to Glenbrook to connect with my

parents not

to to fall in love but you did I

know he's been through a lot Jess just

need to be up fun with

him if I tell him the truth he won't see

me the same way I know it and if you

don't tell him he'll feel like he was

betrayed

again you're right you're right I can't

do that to

him I'm going to tell him right after

the

fundraiser what's going

on this is our yearly Christmas Story

time we've had the same volunteer for

years who I'll give you one guess

[Music]

hello everyone my name is Kyle hi I'm

going to read you a story but first I'm

going to need a very special helper to

help me turn the pages while I read

anyone

oh how about

[Music]

you

okay it's a lot of pressure I know you

think you can handle it I will do my

best

hi uh my name is Jessica and you can

call me Jesse

hi can I call you Jesse we'll

see okay this is called The Night Before

Christmas and it's my favorite Christmas

Story I hope you like it as much as I

[Music]

do the Night Before

Christmas was the night before Christmas

and all through the house not a creature

was stirring not even a

[Music]

mouse the stockings were hung by the

chimney with care in hopes that St

Nicholas soon would be there

you know once you sell One Piece you

will officially be a professional artist

it's going to take more than selling a

few paintings to afford College there's

always a way and I will help you figure

it out but aren't you leaving after

Christmas Eve well I promised my

grandfather I would be home for

Christmas but can always come back

I don't know what you did but the

phone's been ringing off the hook people

are asking what time they need to line

up in the

morning let's just say I know a few

shirlees in Brantley who helped me get

the word out people don't want to be the

odd one out I really think it might work

I think so too and Kyle has already been

in touch with a guy in Denver who has a

motor for the bell tower he's planning

to come up the day of Christmas Eve if

we get the money together

we

will well I'm going to go down to the

station to cover

shift see you later yeah see you

tonight what's

tonight Kyle just invited me to dinner

at the station after his shift that

sounds romantic well I'm pretty sure

romantic and fire station have never

been used in the same

sentence Jessica I like you a lot but

Kyle and I have been friends for almost

my entire life and I don't want to see

him get hurt

again Terry I know I know you'll tell

him after the fundraiser I just hope

it's not too

okay than you so so much I knew

it

quiet I'm so happy thank

[Music]

you

hey everything

okay is it too late they can't fix the

bells in time no he's he's coming he'll

be here first thing in the

morning okay then what's

wrong uh well my friend from Glenbrook

PD texted

me I asked him to do a little research

after you told me about your family I

thought maybe I could find some photos

of them for

you and I guess he dug a little

[Music]

deeper Kyle I wanted to tell you sooner

but you

didn't I don't even know who you really

are I'm the same person I was 5 minutes

ago no you're not you're Jessica Morgan

and that changes everything okay see

this is why I waited to tell you because

I knew this is how you would react I

knew you would see me differently of

course I see you differently but not

because of your money I don't care about

that okay then why because you didn't

give me the chance to prove to you that

it didn't matter you made the decision

for

me here I am blindsided

again fooled me twice right so when was

I supposed to tell you was it after your

speech about how money changes people

for the wor wor or was it after you said

that love can't work between people from

two different

worlds I knew that once I told you this

is what would happen

and I just didn't want it to

end this isn't your real life

Jessica this

is it would have ended

anyway we don't know

that what if we could have made it work

maybe but I guess now we'll never find

[Music]

out

are you sure you won't stay for the bell

ringing it's only happening because of

you and isn't that what you're here for

I came here to connect with my parents

with the love they had for each other

and for this town and and I felt it all

of

it but now when those bells

ring all it will remind me of is what I

almost

had and what I've

lost from what I hear you're not the

type to walk away from the

table I am when there isn't anyone on

the other

[Music]

side

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

one last Coco for the road thank you

we're really going to miss you I'm going

to miss

you glennbrook won't be the same without

you I was here for such a short time

long enough to make a difference in a

lot of people's

lives what's this it's from an art

school in Vermont someone sent them

photos of my work and they want to offer

me a scholarship to their the rising

star summer program Don this is

wonderful congratulations thank

she was your soulmate and you just let

her

go she sure didn't capture everything

with these mhm just to refresh your

memory that's the same woman you just

said drive away it would have never

worked out between us Ruthie we just

come from completely different lives

there's more to it than what you know

really yes like like she's about to

become CEO of a massive

Corporation and your point my point is

how could she live here and still do her

chance I did to her what I accused her

of doing to

me

I am an

idiot yeah you

[Music]

thank you for calling Harold Morgan I

here uh I was driving to Los Angeles why

because you left something behind uh

my Sketchbook

no

[Music]

me I never should have pushed you away

like that

Jessica I did everything you feared the

most and that wasn't fair I should have

been more

understanding I'm

sorry I'm sorry I I know what you went

through before and I wish I had just

been honest from the beginning I I was

selfish

honestly I was just so happy that I

didn't want it to

end

to even though we're from different

worlds different

yes

[Music]

but forever

connected what do you mean you were

meant to come to Glen Brook and you and

I were meant to meet each

other

[Music]

oh they've cleared the road up

ahead I guess the only question

is which direction are you going to

go whichever one leads back to

you hey was a great

answer

like his phone is off that's because I

was in the air
