Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:33,034 --> 00:00:36,435
- Okay, so flights and hotel?
- Booked. And car pick-up, too.
2
00:00:36,470 --> 00:00:39,705
Thank you, Carrie, you're
amazing. T-minus 24 hours
3
00:00:39,740 --> 00:00:41,707
until I'm sipping cold
Mai Tais on the warm beach.
4
00:00:41,776 --> 00:00:43,776
I still can't believe
you do Turks et Caicos
5
00:00:43,811 --> 00:00:45,844
for Christmas, Amelia.
It's my tradition.
6
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:47,780
Trust me, once you try it,
you'll never go back
7
00:00:47,815 --> 00:00:49,715
to regular Christmas
festivities.
8
00:00:49,750 --> 00:00:51,650
Like sipping eggnog by the fire?
9
00:00:51,685 --> 00:00:54,019
Exactly. I'll buy you
a ticket!
10
00:00:54,088 --> 00:00:56,388
No, come on, you've been
too generous this year.
11
00:00:56,424 --> 00:00:58,357
Besides, I thought
you invited Brad?
12
00:00:58,392 --> 00:01:00,259
I did, but Brad's set
on spending Christmas
13
00:01:00,294 --> 00:01:02,127
- at his parents'.
- I guess some people
14
00:01:02,196 --> 00:01:04,696
like the simple joys
of a traditional Christmas.
15
00:01:04,732 --> 00:01:07,933
What is more joyful
than sunshine? Anyway...
16
00:01:07,968 --> 00:01:10,213
I invited him to Christmas
dinner with my parents tonight.
17
00:01:10,237 --> 00:01:12,271
You're having
a Danish smorgasbord
18
00:01:12,306 --> 00:01:15,507
and it's December 18th...
It's not really the same thing.
19
00:01:15,543 --> 00:01:17,543
So, you nervous
for the big pitch?
20
00:01:17,578 --> 00:01:19,645
Carrie, we designed
21
00:01:19,713 --> 00:01:21,858
their top selling app. Bill
Burns needs us, we've got this.
22
00:01:21,882 --> 00:01:23,949
Correction: you designed
their top selling app.
23
00:01:23,984 --> 00:01:25,951
- You've got this.
- Well, either way,
24
00:01:26,020 --> 00:01:28,720
it's almost time to start
shopping on Christmas Assist!
25
00:01:30,658 --> 00:01:33,959
For 3 years,
our partnership on Closet Assist
26
00:01:33,994 --> 00:01:35,961
has offered
the individual shopper
27
00:01:35,996 --> 00:01:39,064
an unparalleled selection in
an over-saturated marketplace.
28
00:01:39,133 --> 00:01:42,000
Now, I'm about to revolutionize
the way we do
29
00:01:42,069 --> 00:01:43,669
our holiday shopping in an app.
30
00:01:43,704 --> 00:01:46,105
For those who want to escape
the chaos of Christmas,
31
00:01:46,140 --> 00:01:47,884
and get away from it all
without all the fuss,
32
00:01:47,908 --> 00:01:51,043
I give you Christmas Assist.
33
00:01:51,078 --> 00:01:54,246
More advanced than a gift
registry, our app consolidates
34
00:01:54,281 --> 00:01:56,293
your loved one's shopping
wish lists into one place.
35
00:01:56,317 --> 00:01:59,418
All you have to do is click
on their online profile like so,
36
00:01:59,453 --> 00:02:02,354
and you can browse,
buy it, and deliver it
37
00:02:02,389 --> 00:02:04,456
all in the click of a button.
38
00:02:04,492 --> 00:02:06,625
Interesting idea.
39
00:02:06,694 --> 00:02:09,039
What's even more interesting,
Bill, is that we've built in
40
00:02:09,063 --> 00:02:11,063
an algorithm that,
based on past purchases,
41
00:02:11,098 --> 00:02:14,133
not only buys the gift,
but also sends the card.
42
00:02:14,168 --> 00:02:16,335
Amelia, aren't you
concerned it takes
43
00:02:16,403 --> 00:02:18,871
some of the thoughtfulness
out of gift-giving?
44
00:02:18,906 --> 00:02:21,173
It also sort of ruins
45
00:02:21,208 --> 00:02:23,542
the element of surprise,
don't you think?
46
00:02:23,577 --> 00:02:26,145
Well... I mean,
you could look at it that way,
47
00:02:26,180 --> 00:02:28,914
but there is so much pressure
on what to buy these days.
48
00:02:28,949 --> 00:02:31,150
This way, you can rest easy
knowing you found
49
00:02:31,185 --> 00:02:33,252
exactly what
your loved one wants,
50
00:02:33,287 --> 00:02:35,254
without ever having
to be there in person.
51
00:02:38,459 --> 00:02:41,693
Now, you know we're big
supporters of Closet Assist,
52
00:02:41,729 --> 00:02:44,229
Amelia, and we were excited
to see how this app
53
00:02:44,298 --> 00:02:46,398
could benefit our clientele,
54
00:02:46,433 --> 00:02:49,668
but I'm not sure
that Christmas Assist
55
00:02:49,703 --> 00:02:52,171
encompasses the true
spirit of Christmas.
56
00:02:52,239 --> 00:02:54,239
It's a no.
57
00:02:54,275 --> 00:02:56,208
I'm sorry.
58
00:03:01,081 --> 00:03:03,282
What do they mean I don't know
Christmas? I was born
59
00:03:03,317 --> 00:03:05,617
in a town called Christmas
Creek... you can't get
60
00:03:05,686 --> 00:03:08,020
- more Christmassy than that!
- I thought you were
61
00:03:08,055 --> 00:03:10,689
- from San Francisco?
- I am. I mean...
62
00:03:10,724 --> 00:03:13,292
I moved to San Francisco when
I was 13. So, okay, technically,
63
00:03:13,327 --> 00:03:15,272
I haven't been back
to Christmas Creek in a while,
64
00:03:15,296 --> 00:03:18,330
- but I know Christmas.
- Yeah, of course!
65
00:03:18,365 --> 00:03:21,266
You're very... festive.
66
00:03:25,506 --> 00:03:28,073
- They're right.
- Amelia...
67
00:03:28,108 --> 00:03:30,876
Don't let the investors get you
down. They just didn't get it.
68
00:03:30,945 --> 00:03:32,844
But it's my job
to make them get it.
69
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,814
- I was certain it would be a yes.
- Because you're great
70
00:03:35,849 --> 00:03:38,128
at what you do. If anybody
knows apps and what people want,
71
00:03:38,152 --> 00:03:40,052
it's you.
72
00:03:40,087 --> 00:03:42,487
Any word from Brad on what
time he's coming to dinner?
73
00:03:42,523 --> 00:03:44,301
Yes. He apologizes,
but he's going to be late,
74
00:03:44,325 --> 00:03:46,191
but your parents will
see you right at 6.
75
00:03:46,227 --> 00:03:48,293
Right. Okay. Well,
then I better get cooking.
76
00:03:48,329 --> 00:03:50,596
Carrie?
77
00:03:50,631 --> 00:03:53,398
Thank you for everything.
78
00:03:53,467 --> 00:03:56,401
And Merry Christmas!
79
00:03:56,437 --> 00:03:58,537
Now, there's the spirit!
80
00:04:06,513 --> 00:04:08,959
It's only 4 flights of stairs.
It's good for the cardio, Dan.
81
00:04:08,983 --> 00:04:11,617
- My cardio is perfectly fine.
- Until you find work here,
82
00:04:11,652 --> 00:04:13,352
it's important
for your stress level.
83
00:04:13,420 --> 00:04:15,498
I'll tell you what'll help my
stress: not talking about it.
84
00:04:15,522 --> 00:04:18,490
- Hello, sweetie. Looks delicious.
- Hi, dinner's almost ready.
85
00:04:18,525 --> 00:04:21,059
Hi, honey. Do you want some
help with the frikadellers?
86
00:04:21,095 --> 00:04:23,528
I am preparing the smorgasbord
this year. You are my guest.
87
00:04:23,564 --> 00:04:25,842
- You do enough for us. Please.
- It's okay. Let me help you.
88
00:04:25,866 --> 00:04:27,766
Do you think the reason
I can't cook
89
00:04:27,835 --> 00:04:30,247
is because the Danes eat open
faced sandwiches for every meal?
90
00:04:30,271 --> 00:04:32,137
I think the reason
91
00:04:32,206 --> 00:04:34,039
you don't cook,
not that you can't,
92
00:04:34,074 --> 00:04:36,008
is because your focus
is on your work.
93
00:04:36,043 --> 00:04:38,910
- Is Brad coming?
- Later, he's stuck
94
00:04:38,946 --> 00:04:41,046
- at the office.
- Well... More cheese for me.
95
00:04:41,115 --> 00:04:43,081
Dan, why don't you
set the table?
96
00:04:43,117 --> 00:04:45,651
What's this?
97
00:04:45,686 --> 00:04:48,553
- Doesn't matter.
- We received a letter
98
00:04:48,589 --> 00:04:50,622
from Hughes' Family Inn
this morning...
99
00:04:50,658 --> 00:04:52,669
What? From Uncle Harry?
How'd he find you in Chicago?
100
00:04:52,693 --> 00:04:54,926
It was forwarded
from our San Francisco address.
101
00:04:54,962 --> 00:04:56,762
It was originally
mailed back in November.
102
00:04:56,830 --> 00:04:59,364
- Are you going to open it?
- It's probably junk mail.
103
00:05:01,368 --> 00:05:03,969
- How did your meeting go?
- It was fine. Great.
104
00:05:04,004 --> 00:05:06,571
Actually, not great at all.
The investors think
105
00:05:06,607 --> 00:05:09,574
I don't understand Christmas.
What's to understand?
106
00:05:09,643 --> 00:05:12,110
I'm sorry, honey. I know how
hard you worked on that app.
107
00:05:12,146 --> 00:05:15,314
Yeah, I just don't get it.
I'm hoping that Turks and Caicos
108
00:05:15,349 --> 00:05:18,650
will reinspire me because right
now, I don't know how to fix it.
109
00:05:18,719 --> 00:05:21,286
I'm sure you'll think
of something.
110
00:05:21,322 --> 00:05:23,555
You know, you could
stay here this year.
111
00:05:23,590 --> 00:05:26,091
Your dad's got
some interviews but...
112
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,627
What, and we could do
another smorgasbord?
113
00:05:28,662 --> 00:05:31,596
Mom, you just moved, and we
don't ever do a big Christmas
114
00:05:31,665 --> 00:05:33,598
with just the 3 of us anyway,
so don't worry.
115
00:05:33,634 --> 00:05:36,268
Just focus on getting settled.
116
00:05:38,205 --> 00:05:41,740
Are you gonna open it, Dad,
or just keep staring at it?
117
00:05:41,775 --> 00:05:44,142
I am not opening that,
or the past.
118
00:05:44,178 --> 00:05:46,078
Maybe Uncle Harry
is reaching out?
119
00:05:46,113 --> 00:05:49,114
Well, he never has before, so
don't get your hopes up, honey.
120
00:05:49,183 --> 00:05:50,816
It's probably just
a general mail-out.
121
00:05:50,851 --> 00:05:52,818
You won't know
unless you open it, right?
122
00:05:52,886 --> 00:05:55,587
Here. OK, I'll do it.
123
00:06:00,060 --> 00:06:02,361
"Experience the magic
of the 40th Anniversary
124
00:06:02,396 --> 00:06:05,464
of Fly By Santa by staying
at Hughes' Family Inn".
125
00:06:05,532 --> 00:06:08,700
Just a general mail-out.
126
00:06:08,769 --> 00:06:11,870
Well. I guess
not much has changed.
127
00:06:17,745 --> 00:06:20,045
- Hello, hello!
- Brad, you made it.
128
00:06:20,114 --> 00:06:22,013
Sorry I'm late.
Work was crazy.
129
00:06:22,049 --> 00:06:24,483
It's okay. Things were crazy
here, too. I haven't even
130
00:06:24,518 --> 00:06:26,985
started packing yet.
My parents stuck around
131
00:06:27,020 --> 00:06:29,432
for as many rounds of Smorg as
they could, but you missed them.
132
00:06:29,456 --> 00:06:32,824
- Can I make you a sandwich?
- I'm okay. Thanks...
133
00:06:32,860 --> 00:06:35,293
Truth is, I've been thinking.
134
00:06:35,362 --> 00:06:39,030
- I think we should talk.
- About Christmas.
135
00:06:39,066 --> 00:06:41,066
My parents really want
to meet you.
136
00:06:41,101 --> 00:06:43,068
And I would like
to meet them, too.
137
00:06:43,137 --> 00:06:44,781
So, why don't you want
to spend the holidays with us?
138
00:06:44,805 --> 00:06:46,872
It's not that...
139
00:06:46,907 --> 00:06:49,441
It's such a sweet offer, Brad,
140
00:06:49,476 --> 00:06:51,576
but I'm already booked
for Turks and Caicos.
141
00:06:51,612 --> 00:06:54,312
- You can go there any time.
- I understand that,
142
00:06:54,348 --> 00:06:56,982
but you know the holidays
are stressful for me.
143
00:06:57,017 --> 00:06:58,828
One argument between
your dad and uncle years ago
144
00:06:58,852 --> 00:07:00,819
shouldn't ruin
all family Christmases.
145
00:07:00,854 --> 00:07:02,632
I just like the peace
and quiet of the beach.
146
00:07:02,656 --> 00:07:04,734
I can't just lay on a beach
while my family is together
147
00:07:04,758 --> 00:07:06,725
for the holidays.
My parents are getting older...
148
00:07:06,794 --> 00:07:08,727
I want to spend
more time with them.
149
00:07:08,762 --> 00:07:10,507
- Then I don't know what to say.
- You just designed
150
00:07:10,531 --> 00:07:12,464
an entire app around
the holidays, and yet
151
00:07:12,499 --> 00:07:14,933
- you want nothing to do with it?
- Brad, just...
152
00:07:14,968 --> 00:07:16,713
Please, don't bring my app
into this right now.
153
00:07:16,737 --> 00:07:18,603
I just don't do
festive family stuff.
154
00:07:18,639 --> 00:07:20,572
I thought you were
okay with that.
155
00:07:20,607 --> 00:07:22,974
Not if my girlfriend never
wants to celebrate with me.
156
00:07:23,010 --> 00:07:25,577
Amelia, I'm really
trying here, but...
157
00:07:25,612 --> 00:07:29,314
But what?
158
00:07:29,349 --> 00:07:32,617
For 2 years, it's been
this push-pull dance we do.
159
00:07:32,653 --> 00:07:35,887
I try to move things forward,
and you keep pulling away.
160
00:07:35,956 --> 00:07:39,224
And I don't want
to dance anymore.
161
00:07:41,795 --> 00:07:44,296
I'm sorry, Amelia.
162
00:08:42,923 --> 00:08:46,157
Your flight leaves in an hour;
what are you still doing here?
163
00:08:46,193 --> 00:08:48,326
I'm not going.
164
00:08:48,395 --> 00:08:50,529
What? Why?
165
00:08:50,564 --> 00:08:52,497
Because Brad broke up
with me last night.
166
00:08:52,533 --> 00:08:54,866
Amelia...
167
00:08:54,902 --> 00:08:56,801
- I'm so sorry.
- It's okay...
168
00:08:56,837 --> 00:08:59,905
but suddenly the idea of sipping
Mai Tais on the beach by myself
169
00:08:59,940 --> 00:09:04,175
- no longer sounds fun.
- So, what're you gonna do?
170
00:09:04,211 --> 00:09:06,278
I'm going back to my roots.
171
00:09:06,313 --> 00:09:08,680
I knew you were a brunette!
172
00:09:08,715 --> 00:09:10,749
I once cut off all my hair
after a breakup.
173
00:09:10,784 --> 00:09:14,519
No, I'm... I'm going
to Christmas Creek.
174
00:09:14,555 --> 00:09:18,356
- Wait, what is this?
- Fly By Santa.
175
00:09:18,392 --> 00:09:21,126
It's a tradition my Uncle Harry
started 40 years ago,
176
00:09:21,161 --> 00:09:24,029
collecting toys for needy
children in remote areas
177
00:09:24,064 --> 00:09:26,731
and delivering them by plane
on Christmas Eve.
178
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,601
This is me.
179
00:09:29,636 --> 00:09:31,970
That's you? You're so cute!
180
00:09:32,005 --> 00:09:35,473
I was Santa's Little Helper.
I was his co-pilot when we flew.
181
00:09:35,542 --> 00:09:38,944
Of course you were.
But, wait... I thought
182
00:09:38,979 --> 00:09:41,090
you haven't been to Christmas
Creek since you were a kid?
183
00:09:41,114 --> 00:09:43,848
I know, but it's only
a 3-hour drive from Chicago.
184
00:09:43,884 --> 00:09:45,984
So, if Bill Burns
thinks I've forgotten
185
00:09:46,019 --> 00:09:48,420
the spirit of Christmas,
maybe Christmas Creek will help.
186
00:09:48,455 --> 00:09:51,256
Alright, I like this idea!
187
00:09:51,291 --> 00:09:53,792
Thank you!
188
00:10:09,610 --> 00:10:12,410
Why are there no street signs?!
189
00:10:36,970 --> 00:10:40,071
Need a hand, ma'am?
190
00:10:40,107 --> 00:10:42,374
No, I'm good, thanks!
191
00:10:42,409 --> 00:10:44,976
Are you sure? Because you've
been driving about 20 miles
192
00:10:45,045 --> 00:10:48,213
- under the speed limit.
- Yeah...
193
00:10:48,248 --> 00:10:51,483
I saw the plates. Illinois,
You're from out of town?
194
00:10:51,518 --> 00:10:54,452
Yeah, I was trying
to read my GPS,
195
00:10:54,488 --> 00:10:56,588
but there are
no street signs, so...
196
00:10:56,623 --> 00:10:58,463
That's so you can ask
a local for directions.
197
00:10:58,492 --> 00:11:00,392
Where you headed?
198
00:11:00,460 --> 00:11:03,528
I'm looking for Hughes' Family
Inn. I thought it was this way.
199
00:11:03,563 --> 00:11:06,798
You're nearly there. Just
about half a mile down the road,
200
00:11:06,833 --> 00:11:08,867
then take a right.
201
00:11:08,902 --> 00:11:10,869
But, you know, you shouldn't be
202
00:11:10,904 --> 00:11:12,837
driving these roads
without winter tires.
203
00:11:12,873 --> 00:11:14,873
I know, I clearly
didn't plan well.
204
00:11:14,908 --> 00:11:18,209
- I wasn't supposed to be here...
- Well, don't sound too excited.
205
00:11:18,278 --> 00:11:21,046
Why don't you follow me?
206
00:11:21,081 --> 00:11:24,049
- Then you get some proper tires.
- What are you, the road police?
207
00:11:24,117 --> 00:11:26,518
Actually, I do search
and rescue for the area,
208
00:11:26,553 --> 00:11:28,498
and I'd hate to have
to pull you out of the ditch.
209
00:11:28,522 --> 00:11:31,623
Right! OK.
Well, I appreciate that.
210
00:11:31,658 --> 00:11:34,325
- Follow me, I'll get you there.
- Thank you!
211
00:11:34,361 --> 00:11:37,062
Alright, no problem.
212
00:12:03,724 --> 00:12:05,690
Hey. What are you doing here?
213
00:12:05,759 --> 00:12:08,326
I was driving around
when I found
214
00:12:08,361 --> 00:12:11,296
this woman looking for the inn.
215
00:12:11,331 --> 00:12:13,898
You haven't changed one bit.
216
00:12:15,969 --> 00:12:18,603
Thanks?
217
00:12:18,638 --> 00:12:22,107
- You got a reservation?
- No, not exactly...
218
00:12:23,810 --> 00:12:27,011
I'm sorry to tell you this,
but we're all booked up.
219
00:12:27,047 --> 00:12:28,680
You might be able
to find a room in town.
220
00:12:28,749 --> 00:12:31,015
Uncle Harry, it's me.
221
00:12:34,621 --> 00:12:36,621
Amelia?
222
00:12:36,690 --> 00:12:40,658
- Yeah!
- Wait, you're Meels?!
223
00:12:40,694 --> 00:12:44,229
This is...
this is a real surprise.
224
00:12:44,264 --> 00:12:46,264
I'll say!
225
00:12:46,299 --> 00:12:48,700
Hum...
226
00:12:48,735 --> 00:12:51,803
You remember Mike Ruggles?
227
00:12:51,838 --> 00:12:54,472
- Wait, you're Mike Ruggles?
- As far as I know.
228
00:12:54,508 --> 00:12:57,642
So, did you drive in
from San Francisco?
229
00:12:57,677 --> 00:13:01,246
No, I moved to Chicago
a few years ago for work
230
00:13:01,281 --> 00:13:03,681
to launch a shopping app
called Closet Assist.
231
00:13:03,750 --> 00:13:06,217
Maybe you've heard of it?
232
00:13:06,253 --> 00:13:10,155
Or not... Anyways, I got
the brochure for Fly By Santa
233
00:13:10,190 --> 00:13:14,225
and I figured why not come back
for the 40th Anniversary flight?
234
00:13:14,294 --> 00:13:16,995
Are your mom and dad coming too?
235
00:13:17,030 --> 00:13:20,064
No, it's just me.
236
00:13:20,133 --> 00:13:22,801
It's great!
237
00:13:24,571 --> 00:13:27,839
You have grown, let me tell you!
238
00:13:27,908 --> 00:13:30,208
- It's great to see you.
- You, too, Uncle Harry.
239
00:13:30,243 --> 00:13:33,311
You know, I should get going.
240
00:13:33,346 --> 00:13:34,979
Okay. See ya!
241
00:13:35,015 --> 00:13:37,949
Welcome back
to Christmas Creek, Meels.
242
00:13:37,984 --> 00:13:41,886
- Enjoy your stay.
- Thanks, Ruggles. See you!
243
00:13:41,922 --> 00:13:43,822
See ya.
244
00:13:43,857 --> 00:13:45,790
Well, come on,
let's get you inside.
245
00:13:45,826 --> 00:13:47,826
- OK, yeah!
- Good to see ya!
246
00:13:47,861 --> 00:13:49,928
- Good to see you too!
- Did you see the plane?
247
00:13:49,963 --> 00:13:51,930
Oh, my gosh! It's still there?
248
00:13:53,867 --> 00:13:55,800
It looks amazing in here,
Uncle Harry!
249
00:13:55,836 --> 00:13:57,735
- Did you do all this?
- Yeah.
250
00:13:57,771 --> 00:14:00,705
- I fixed it up a little bit.
- But it looks so...
251
00:14:00,740 --> 00:14:03,541
so beautiful...
and it's so busy!
252
00:14:03,577 --> 00:14:07,111
Well, we've been really lucky.
Lots of returning guests.
253
00:14:07,147 --> 00:14:09,247
Harry's being modest,
254
00:14:09,282 --> 00:14:11,416
it's all him. He's the heart
and soul of the inn.
255
00:14:11,484 --> 00:14:14,118
Thanks. This is Nathan,
he runs our front desk.
256
00:14:14,154 --> 00:14:16,688
- This is my niece...
- Amelia. Nice to meet you.
257
00:14:16,723 --> 00:14:19,757
Niece? You have a niece?
258
00:14:19,793 --> 00:14:21,693
- Welcome to Hughes' Family Inn!
- Thank you.
259
00:14:21,728 --> 00:14:24,162
I was hoping that you
might have a room available?
260
00:14:24,197 --> 00:14:26,431
Okay! Room...
261
00:14:26,466 --> 00:14:28,867
This time of year...
262
00:14:28,902 --> 00:14:31,035
You know what, don't worry.
263
00:14:31,104 --> 00:14:33,216
- I'm sorry, I should have called.
- It's fine, really.
264
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,874
It's fine. It's not a problem
at all. You know what?
265
00:14:35,909 --> 00:14:38,543
- You can stay in the cabin.
- The cabin? Where I grew up?
266
00:14:38,578 --> 00:14:41,679
- And where I now live.
- Right. Of course you do.
267
00:14:41,715 --> 00:14:44,983
We still have your old room.
I mean, if you're comfortable.
268
00:14:45,018 --> 00:14:47,018
Yeah, that would be great.
269
00:14:47,053 --> 00:14:49,754
- Thank you!
- Then perfect! Problem solved.
270
00:14:49,789 --> 00:14:51,389
OK. Alright.
Let's go get your bag.
271
00:14:51,424 --> 00:14:54,158
Great!
272
00:15:04,137 --> 00:15:06,604
It looks exactly the same!
273
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,207
Yeah, not much has changed
since... Well.
274
00:15:09,242 --> 00:15:11,342
You know.
275
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,180
Hey. I remember this.
276
00:15:16,216 --> 00:15:18,149
I think that was your mother's.
277
00:15:18,184 --> 00:15:20,051
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
278
00:15:20,086 --> 00:15:22,987
You don't have a Christmas tree?
279
00:15:23,023 --> 00:15:25,890
Well, no. Not yet.
280
00:15:25,926 --> 00:15:29,360
It's always busy, but I'm
a little behind this year.
281
00:15:29,429 --> 00:15:32,697
It's a great photo of you...
282
00:15:32,732 --> 00:15:35,767
Have you done much flying?
283
00:15:35,802 --> 00:15:39,237
Hum, no. I mean,
regular airlines, yeah,
284
00:15:39,306 --> 00:15:42,106
but I haven't been in the
right seat in a long time.
285
00:15:42,142 --> 00:15:44,709
I'm not really sure
I'd remember how.
286
00:15:44,744 --> 00:15:47,312
How is Pamela doing?
Is she around?
287
00:15:47,347 --> 00:15:50,815
Yes. I mean...
she's in town...
288
00:15:50,850 --> 00:15:53,117
but things didn't work out
with us.
289
00:15:53,153 --> 00:15:55,253
I'm sorry, Uncle Harry.
290
00:15:55,288 --> 00:15:59,090
I always thought you and Pamela
were just the perfect couple.
291
00:15:59,125 --> 00:16:02,193
Yeah. Anyway...
292
00:16:02,228 --> 00:16:04,862
The brochure,
how did you get that?
293
00:16:04,931 --> 00:16:07,598
It was mailed to my parents.
294
00:16:07,667 --> 00:16:10,535
But I take it...
you didn't send it?
295
00:16:10,603 --> 00:16:12,737
No, I didn't. I would have,
296
00:16:12,772 --> 00:16:14,784
but I wasn't sure if you wanted
to come to the Anniversary,
297
00:16:14,808 --> 00:16:18,376
- and I didn't have your address.
- It's okay, don't worry.
298
00:16:18,411 --> 00:16:20,211
Your father didn't send you?
299
00:16:20,246 --> 00:16:22,447
No.
300
00:16:22,482 --> 00:16:25,216
He doesn't even know
I'm here actually.
301
00:16:25,251 --> 00:16:27,452
I just... I wanted to see you.
302
00:16:27,487 --> 00:16:30,054
Well, I'm glad you came.
303
00:16:30,090 --> 00:16:32,357
- Me, too.
- Alright.
304
00:16:32,392 --> 00:16:34,559
Well, I better get back
to hanging those lights.
305
00:16:34,594 --> 00:16:37,962
I'll let you settle in. You're
probably tired after your drive.
306
00:16:37,998 --> 00:16:40,732
- Right. Yeah, of course.
- Your room is upstairs.
307
00:16:40,767 --> 00:16:44,335
- Make yourself at home.
- Thanks, Uncle Harry.
308
00:16:44,371 --> 00:16:46,771
OK!
309
00:17:26,146 --> 00:17:28,679
Hey, good morning!
How did you sleep?
310
00:17:28,715 --> 00:17:30,615
Hey! Good.
It's so quiet here,
311
00:17:30,650 --> 00:17:32,917
- I slept really well, actually.
- Yeah, good.
312
00:17:32,952 --> 00:17:35,486
Alright. I made you some coffee.
I just have some stuff I need
313
00:17:35,522 --> 00:17:37,600
to take care of at the inn, but
you can take anything you want
314
00:17:37,624 --> 00:17:39,357
- in the fridge.
- Thanks!
315
00:17:39,392 --> 00:17:41,492
- So what are your plans?
- I thought I might head
316
00:17:41,528 --> 00:17:43,928
- into town, check things out.
- Sounds like fun.
317
00:17:43,963 --> 00:17:46,998
- You wanna do dinner later?
- Yeah, that'll work.
318
00:17:47,033 --> 00:17:49,801
And to get into town,
I just hang a left at the road?
319
00:17:49,836 --> 00:17:52,203
- Yeah, that'll get you there.
- Cool.
320
00:17:52,238 --> 00:17:54,672
...You know what?
321
00:17:54,707 --> 00:17:56,607
Why don't you
just take my truck?
322
00:17:56,643 --> 00:17:58,409
It's better for
the winter roads.
323
00:17:58,445 --> 00:18:00,445
And the ignition
sticks a little bit.
324
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,280
- Thanks!
- Okay.
325
00:18:14,961 --> 00:18:17,061
Alright.
326
00:18:17,130 --> 00:18:20,031
Here we go...!
327
00:18:35,615 --> 00:18:38,049
It still lives up to the name!
328
00:18:56,536 --> 00:18:59,804
- Can I help you?
- I'm just browsing, thanks.
329
00:19:02,041 --> 00:19:04,142
- You work here?
- My mom owns it.
330
00:19:04,177 --> 00:19:06,077
She just went to get us
some hot chocolate.
331
00:19:06,112 --> 00:19:09,514
I used to come here with
my parents when I was your age.
332
00:19:09,549 --> 00:19:12,049
It was always the best spot
for Christmas decorations.
333
00:19:12,085 --> 00:19:14,385
Christmas is the most
wonderful time of year!
334
00:19:14,420 --> 00:19:16,487
What are you working on?
335
00:19:16,523 --> 00:19:18,456
My school report
on Amelia Earhart.
336
00:19:18,491 --> 00:19:20,992
- She's a pilot and my hero.
- Really?
337
00:19:21,027 --> 00:19:24,128
- My name is Amelia.
- Whoa, you're so lucky!
338
00:19:24,164 --> 00:19:26,564
- I'm Scout.
- Hi, Scout.
339
00:19:26,633 --> 00:19:28,900
- You know, my uncle loves to fly.
- Mine too!
340
00:19:28,935 --> 00:19:31,402
My uncle was in the Air Force,
and my dad's a soldier.
341
00:19:31,437 --> 00:19:34,505
They sound very brave.
342
00:19:34,574 --> 00:19:36,507
I'll just get this card.
343
00:19:41,314 --> 00:19:43,247
Build your own
gingerbread house?
344
00:19:43,283 --> 00:19:45,349
It's a tradition
in Christmas Creek.
345
00:19:45,385 --> 00:19:47,485
- You should come tomorrow!
- Yeah, maybe.
346
00:19:47,554 --> 00:19:50,354
Well, thank you, Scout!
Maybe I'll see you later.
347
00:19:50,390 --> 00:19:53,057
Bye, Amelia!
348
00:19:56,863 --> 00:19:59,130
I've made a list
of all the guest names
349
00:19:59,199 --> 00:20:01,666
for the Christmas stockings
and I was thinking we could use
350
00:20:01,701 --> 00:20:03,601
some extra lights
around the fireplace.
351
00:20:03,636 --> 00:20:05,836
- That's a good idea, Nathan.
- I'll call Elise
352
00:20:05,872 --> 00:20:07,805
- to put some aside.
- Okay, great.
353
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,608
- I never knew you had a niece.
- I do...
354
00:20:10,643 --> 00:20:12,977
I do. I haven't
seen her in a while.
355
00:20:13,012 --> 00:20:16,047
You know, Amelia was
my original co-pilot on Fly By.
356
00:20:16,082 --> 00:20:19,550
That's so sweet! And now she's
here. It must be so wonderful.
357
00:20:19,619 --> 00:20:22,720
It is. It really is.
358
00:20:22,755 --> 00:20:27,158
Say, Nathan, you wouldn't
have sent a brochure
359
00:20:27,193 --> 00:20:29,026
to my brother, did you?
360
00:20:29,062 --> 00:20:31,395
- Your brother?
- Dan Hughes.
361
00:20:31,464 --> 00:20:34,198
I don't think so. I mean...
362
00:20:34,234 --> 00:20:36,567
- maybe?
- You did?
363
00:20:36,636 --> 00:20:38,614
Well, I compiled a list
of all addresses and past guests
364
00:20:38,638 --> 00:20:41,739
for the past 40 years, for the
anniversary of Fly By Santa.
365
00:20:41,774 --> 00:20:43,641
And, I'm sorry,
I didn't know there were people
366
00:20:43,676 --> 00:20:46,277
we weren't sending them to.
You're very private, Harry.
367
00:20:46,312 --> 00:20:48,546
It's fine. It really is.
It's fine.
368
00:20:48,581 --> 00:20:51,249
You were just
doing your job. OK.
369
00:21:00,226 --> 00:21:03,327
Amelia? Hi!
370
00:21:03,363 --> 00:21:06,664
I saw you through the window.
I heard you were in town.
371
00:21:06,699 --> 00:21:08,733
Pamela! Hi!
How did you know...?
372
00:21:08,768 --> 00:21:11,202
It's a small town.
News travels fast.
373
00:21:11,237 --> 00:21:12,837
Actually,
374
00:21:12,872 --> 00:21:15,640
Mike Ruggles was in earlier
having his cappuccino, so...
375
00:21:15,708 --> 00:21:18,342
- Oh, Mike... Yeah.
- Yeah, Mike.
376
00:21:18,378 --> 00:21:20,311
So...
377
00:21:20,346 --> 00:21:22,380
- How are you?
- Good!
378
00:21:22,415 --> 00:21:24,949
I'm actually in town
for Fly By Santa, for Christmas.
379
00:21:24,984 --> 00:21:27,618
- Are you staying at the inn?
- With Uncle Harry at the cabin.
380
00:21:27,687 --> 00:21:30,321
Well, say hi to him for me.
381
00:21:30,356 --> 00:21:32,690
I don't see him around
much these days.
382
00:21:32,725 --> 00:21:35,192
Right, yeah. He mentioned that
he's pretty busy with things.
383
00:21:35,228 --> 00:21:37,795
Yeah, it's been like that
for a while now.
384
00:21:39,899 --> 00:21:43,234
- Anyway, nice to see you.
- You, too, Pamela.
385
00:21:43,269 --> 00:21:45,936
- See you soon.
- See you soon!
386
00:22:02,522 --> 00:22:05,523
- Amelia Hughes.
- Hi, honey!
387
00:22:05,591 --> 00:22:07,892
Mom? Mom! Hi!
388
00:22:07,927 --> 00:22:11,462
- How was your flight?
- My flight? I didn't go.
389
00:22:11,497 --> 00:22:13,397
- What?
- It's fine.
390
00:22:13,433 --> 00:22:15,633
- Something came up.
- Is everything okay?
391
00:22:15,668 --> 00:22:17,601
- Where are you?
- Where am I?
392
00:22:17,637 --> 00:22:19,904
I'm on, a last minute
research trip for my app.
393
00:22:19,939 --> 00:22:22,540
I'm fine, I'm just actually
in the middle of something.
394
00:22:22,608 --> 00:22:24,942
- Can I call you later?
- Okay, honey. Love you!
395
00:22:24,977 --> 00:22:27,578
- Good luck.
- OK, love you, too. Bye, Mom.
396
00:22:27,647 --> 00:22:30,014
Thanks. Come on. Come on...
397
00:22:33,252 --> 00:22:36,220
- Hi. Need a hand?
- I'm good.
398
00:22:36,255 --> 00:22:41,192
- Are you sure? I don't mind.
- No, it's just temperamental.
399
00:22:41,260 --> 00:22:44,662
Yeah, OK, sure.
400
00:22:46,599 --> 00:22:49,667
I didn't realize this
constituted Search and Rescue.
401
00:22:49,702 --> 00:22:53,170
Nah, I'm off duty.
Just being a good Samaritan.
402
00:22:53,239 --> 00:22:55,339
You having fun yet?
403
00:22:55,375 --> 00:22:57,419
Besides the recurring car
trouble, yeah, it's been great.
404
00:22:57,443 --> 00:23:02,046
- Why'd you come back? Really?
- It has come to my attention
405
00:23:02,081 --> 00:23:04,315
that I may not appreciate
Christmas the way I used to.
406
00:23:04,350 --> 00:23:07,251
So, here I am,
appreciating Christmas.
407
00:23:07,286 --> 00:23:09,854
- What is in the box?
- Toys
408
00:23:09,922 --> 00:23:12,690
- for the Fly By Santa delivery.
- Wait... You help with Fly By?
409
00:23:12,725 --> 00:23:14,992
Harry's co-pilot for 16 years.
410
00:23:16,796 --> 00:23:19,029
He didn't have anyone else.
411
00:23:19,065 --> 00:23:22,633
Right, of course,
that makes sense.
412
00:23:22,668 --> 00:23:24,935
Harry knows you had
no choice in leaving.
413
00:23:25,004 --> 00:23:27,938
How about you?
414
00:23:27,974 --> 00:23:31,175
You know, we were kids.
415
00:23:31,210 --> 00:23:34,612
We tried to keep in touch,
but that's life.
416
00:23:34,647 --> 00:23:38,015
- Why?
- No, that's good.
417
00:23:38,050 --> 00:23:40,284
How's Uncle Harry been?
418
00:23:40,319 --> 00:23:44,321
That's your family's stuff. I
probably shouldn't get involved.
419
00:23:44,357 --> 00:23:49,360
- Please, just tell me.
- Okay, considering.
420
00:23:49,395 --> 00:23:51,762
- He had to give up a lot.
- We all did.
421
00:23:51,798 --> 00:23:53,898
Harry hasn't really had time
422
00:23:53,933 --> 00:23:57,568
- for anything other than work.
- Do you mean... Pamela?
423
00:23:57,603 --> 00:24:01,539
Like I said, I probably
shouldn't get involved.
424
00:24:03,910 --> 00:24:06,844
Alright! You just give
a little twist
425
00:24:06,879 --> 00:24:09,313
- and a whole lot of love.
- Thank you, Mike.
426
00:24:09,348 --> 00:24:12,750
- Well, I'll see you.
- Yeah, see you.
427
00:24:27,633 --> 00:24:31,936
Uncle Harry? Are you here?
428
00:25:26,025 --> 00:25:29,627
Thanks for helping out, Scout.
We're making great progress.
429
00:25:29,695 --> 00:25:33,163
Think Harry will let me co-
pilot for Fly By Santa one day?
430
00:25:33,199 --> 00:25:37,034
It's not an easy job. You
really want that responsibility?
431
00:25:37,069 --> 00:25:39,904
- I wanna be like you.
- That's very sweet.
432
00:25:41,874 --> 00:25:44,508
There are lots of girls
who are pilots, you know.
433
00:25:44,544 --> 00:25:47,077
I know. And you would
make a great pilot.
434
00:25:47,113 --> 00:25:50,781
You think Dad will be back
in time for Christmas?
435
00:25:50,816 --> 00:25:53,350
I don't know.
436
00:25:53,386 --> 00:25:55,619
He's really busy keeping
this country safe.
437
00:25:55,655 --> 00:25:59,089
But he'd do anything to be here
with you. In the meantime,
438
00:25:59,125 --> 00:26:02,826
you got me. I know
I'm not your dad,
439
00:26:02,862 --> 00:26:05,095
- but I'm your number one uncle.
- You're my only uncle.
440
00:26:05,131 --> 00:26:07,865
And I also love ya to pieces,
so that counts for something.
441
00:26:31,657 --> 00:26:35,192
Master off, avionics off,
autopilot off,
442
00:26:35,227 --> 00:26:37,628
carb heat off,
443
00:26:37,663 --> 00:26:39,930
mixture full rich,
444
00:26:39,966 --> 00:26:41,799
prop full fine...
445
00:26:45,438 --> 00:26:47,471
Thought you couldn't remember?
446
00:26:47,506 --> 00:26:50,407
I was just playing around...
sorry.
447
00:26:50,443 --> 00:26:54,545
I watched you come down here
from my office.
448
00:26:56,482 --> 00:27:00,150
- Do you wanna come up?
- Yeah.
449
00:27:00,186 --> 00:27:02,620
Okay, master off,
450
00:27:02,655 --> 00:27:04,855
- avionics off, autopilot off...
- Mixture
451
00:27:04,890 --> 00:27:08,659
- full rich, prop full fine...
- See? You remember.
452
00:27:08,728 --> 00:27:10,928
Yeah, I guess some
things stay with you.
453
00:27:10,997 --> 00:27:14,164
I saw Pamela in town today.
454
00:27:14,233 --> 00:27:17,334
She says hi.
Good. How is she doing?
455
00:27:17,370 --> 00:27:19,803
Good.
456
00:27:19,839 --> 00:27:22,172
When did you two break up?
457
00:27:22,208 --> 00:27:25,643
A long time ago.
458
00:27:25,678 --> 00:27:28,479
Because we left?
459
00:27:28,514 --> 00:27:32,216
She tried to stay...
460
00:27:32,251 --> 00:27:34,151
You don't have to tell me.
461
00:27:34,186 --> 00:27:36,453
It's okay. It's okay.
462
00:27:36,489 --> 00:27:40,891
It was the summer after
everybody... left.
463
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,093
It was her birthday,
464
00:27:43,129 --> 00:27:45,195
we had plans,
465
00:27:45,231 --> 00:27:47,431
but there was an emergency
466
00:27:47,466 --> 00:27:50,467
at the inn, so...
467
00:27:50,503 --> 00:27:53,270
I tried to make it up
to her, but...
468
00:27:53,305 --> 00:27:55,939
it had happened before.
469
00:27:55,975 --> 00:27:58,942
No, she did the right thing.
470
00:27:58,978 --> 00:28:02,713
Pamela deserves somebody
who'll make time for her.
471
00:28:04,650 --> 00:28:08,519
You know, I saw that same
regret in Pamela's eyes today.
472
00:28:11,457 --> 00:28:13,357
What about you?
473
00:28:13,392 --> 00:28:16,460
- Anybody special in your life?
- Not anymore.
474
00:28:16,495 --> 00:28:19,296
- Did you love the guy?
- I don't know.
475
00:28:19,365 --> 00:28:22,599
His name was Brad. He wanted me
to spend Christmas
476
00:28:22,635 --> 00:28:26,737
at his parents' and I didn't,
477
00:28:26,806 --> 00:28:30,274
so he broke up with me. And now
I'm here and I feel really bad.
478
00:28:30,309 --> 00:28:32,910
You know, if he was the right
one, you'd probably be with him.
479
00:28:32,978 --> 00:28:37,281
Would I? I don't really do big
family Christmases, Uncle Harry.
480
00:28:37,349 --> 00:28:41,118
And yet, you're here.
481
00:28:41,153 --> 00:28:44,688
- You hungry?
- For dinner? Yeah.
482
00:28:44,724 --> 00:28:49,059
I was thinking,
get some take-out?
483
00:28:50,563 --> 00:28:53,497
OFF, OFF, OFF, ON...
484
00:28:53,566 --> 00:28:56,233
Prop full fine, throttle
slightly cracked...
485
00:28:56,302 --> 00:28:59,169
Starter engaged.
486
00:29:01,207 --> 00:29:03,140
Let's go.
487
00:29:12,618 --> 00:29:15,652
Here we go.
488
00:29:18,190 --> 00:29:20,791
Pretty great, isn't it?
489
00:29:20,826 --> 00:29:23,427
- It's amazing.
- Yeah,
490
00:29:23,462 --> 00:29:27,498
there really isn't
anything like this.
491
00:29:27,533 --> 00:29:29,733
Gives you a new perspective.
492
00:29:29,769 --> 00:29:31,802
Like how small and
insignificant we are
493
00:29:31,837 --> 00:29:34,004
- in the grand scheme of things?
- Or infinite.
494
00:29:34,073 --> 00:29:36,807
It's freedom up here.
495
00:29:36,842 --> 00:29:39,109
I tend to see things differently
496
00:29:39,145 --> 00:29:41,879
from a bird's point of view.
497
00:30:01,167 --> 00:30:04,301
- Hey, let me help you.
- Hey!
498
00:30:04,370 --> 00:30:07,671
Sure. I try to do it
in one trip.
499
00:30:07,706 --> 00:30:10,407
- Most of the time I can.
- I remember that, yeah.
500
00:30:10,442 --> 00:30:14,144
- I can help you with this.
- No, I'm okay.
501
00:30:14,180 --> 00:30:18,348
- Okay.
- Yeah, just put it down there.
502
00:30:20,753 --> 00:30:24,621
- So I ran into Amelia.
- Yeah, she mentioned that.
503
00:30:24,657 --> 00:30:29,359
It must be so strange,
good, having her here.
504
00:30:29,395 --> 00:30:32,062
Well, I took her
flying yesterday.
505
00:30:32,097 --> 00:30:34,431
- I bet she loved that.
- Yeah, it was nice.
506
00:30:34,500 --> 00:30:37,000
Hey, Harry!
Your Christmas mocha.
507
00:30:37,036 --> 00:30:41,572
- Coffee from my competitor?
- Well, you weren't open,
508
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:45,075
and Phil makes a mean
Christmas mocha. Thanks.
509
00:30:45,110 --> 00:30:47,177
- Merry Christmas, Phil.
- Merry Christmas, Pam.
510
00:30:47,213 --> 00:30:50,447
- I was just joking!
- Yeah.
511
00:30:52,117 --> 00:30:56,119
So Pam, I was...
I was thinking...
512
00:30:56,155 --> 00:30:59,056
Oh my gosh! I have biscotti
in the oven! I nearly forgot.
513
00:30:59,124 --> 00:31:02,292
- Anyway, you were gonna say...
- No, it's not important.
514
00:31:02,361 --> 00:31:05,195
- No, what were you...
- No, you better check on that,
515
00:31:05,231 --> 00:31:07,598
- 'cause burnt biscotti...
- That's true.
516
00:31:07,633 --> 00:31:10,000
Okay, well,
517
00:31:10,035 --> 00:31:12,469
nice to see you.
518
00:31:12,504 --> 00:31:15,706
Good to see you.
Always. And...
519
00:31:15,741 --> 00:31:18,909
you were always very clever.
520
00:31:32,925 --> 00:31:34,992
Amelia,
521
00:31:35,027 --> 00:31:38,495
you made it!
Scout, hey!
522
00:31:38,530 --> 00:31:40,998
- You should join us.
- That's so nice,
523
00:31:41,033 --> 00:31:43,700
- but I wouldn't want to intrude.
- It's not an intrusion.
524
00:31:43,736 --> 00:31:46,803
- Mike, hi!
- Hey.
525
00:31:46,839 --> 00:31:48,772
You know Uncle Mike?
526
00:31:48,807 --> 00:31:51,241
Amelia and I used to go
to school together way back.
527
00:31:51,310 --> 00:31:53,510
We actually used
to be best friends.
528
00:31:53,579 --> 00:31:57,981
So, you'll join us? It's
the first stage of building
529
00:31:58,017 --> 00:32:00,550
and the official judging
is at the Tree Lighting.
530
00:32:00,586 --> 00:32:04,288
- ...yeah, sure, okay.
- Yeah? Alright.
531
00:32:04,323 --> 00:32:06,568
You guys get started. I'll go
get pretzels and jellybeans.
532
00:32:06,592 --> 00:32:09,126
Okay, you do that.
533
00:32:09,161 --> 00:32:12,129
So, you're an uncle?
534
00:32:12,164 --> 00:32:14,898
- You seem surprised.
- No, it's great.
535
00:32:14,967 --> 00:32:18,769
It's actually the best. I'd do
anything for Scout and my sis.
536
00:32:18,804 --> 00:32:21,305
Wait, so the gift shop
is Elise's?
537
00:32:21,340 --> 00:32:23,373
Yeah, she took it over
about a year ago.
538
00:32:23,409 --> 00:32:25,575
- Amazing. Tell her I said hi.
- I will.
539
00:32:25,611 --> 00:32:29,279
You have any kids of your own?
540
00:32:29,315 --> 00:32:32,015
No, not yet.
541
00:32:32,051 --> 00:32:36,186
I just haven't found the right
person, you know? How 'bout you?
542
00:32:36,221 --> 00:32:38,522
Me? Ha, no.
543
00:32:38,557 --> 00:32:41,858
I mean, someday I hope.
But work's been really busy,
544
00:32:41,894 --> 00:32:45,462
and I just got out of
a relationship, so...
545
00:32:45,497 --> 00:32:49,199
Yeah, just... it wasn't right.
We wanted different things.
546
00:32:49,234 --> 00:32:51,935
I was actually supposed to be in
Turks and Caicos for Christmas.
547
00:32:51,971 --> 00:32:54,738
- But you're here.
- It's a little strange, I know.
548
00:32:54,773 --> 00:32:57,908
I don't think it's strange.
549
00:32:57,943 --> 00:33:00,277
Someone over there
has a reindeer stables.
550
00:33:00,346 --> 00:33:03,413
We have to get really creative
if we want to win.
551
00:33:03,449 --> 00:33:06,283
Yeah, well, we better get
building now! What do you think?
552
00:33:06,318 --> 00:33:09,720
- Yeah? Okay.
- Let's do it.
553
00:33:19,665 --> 00:33:23,166
- Hey, Mom!
- What is that?
554
00:33:23,202 --> 00:33:26,570
Only the coolest
gingerbread house around.
555
00:33:26,605 --> 00:33:28,839
And the snowmen are mine.
556
00:33:28,874 --> 00:33:31,508
It's not finished yet, but
hopefully it's enough to win.
557
00:33:31,543 --> 00:33:36,079
- I'll be rooting for you two.
- Three. Amelia's helping us.
558
00:33:36,115 --> 00:33:39,049
You know Uncle Mike has a friend
named after Amelia Earhart?
559
00:33:39,084 --> 00:33:41,485
Are we talking
about Amelia Hughes?
560
00:33:43,188 --> 00:33:46,123
No big deal. Amelia's in town
visiting Harry for Christmas.
561
00:33:46,158 --> 00:33:48,158
No big deal?
She was your best friend
562
00:33:48,193 --> 00:33:50,560
for most of childhood. He was
pretty obsessed with her.
563
00:33:50,596 --> 00:33:54,498
OK, I was not obsessed.
It was just a minor crush.
564
00:33:54,533 --> 00:33:58,702
- How is she? What's she like?
- Beautiful and really cool.
565
00:33:58,737 --> 00:34:01,238
She's fine. Normal.
566
00:34:01,273 --> 00:34:04,808
- And she says hi.
- Fine? Normal?
567
00:34:04,843 --> 00:34:06,988
I think we're really gonna have
to work on your flirting.
568
00:34:07,012 --> 00:34:09,579
Okay, it's not like that.
She's just a friend.
569
00:34:09,615 --> 00:34:12,783
- Always been just a friend.
- Then maybe you won't mind
570
00:34:12,818 --> 00:34:15,552
dropping this box off
to Harry at the inn?
571
00:34:15,587 --> 00:34:18,522
What am I, your
delivery boy now?
572
00:34:18,590 --> 00:34:21,725
- I prefer Santa's Helper.
- Okay.
573
00:34:30,002 --> 00:34:32,702
- What are you doing?
- Hey.
574
00:34:32,738 --> 00:34:35,639
Just hanging Christmas stockings
for the guests and the staff.
575
00:34:35,674 --> 00:34:38,442
It gives them something
to open Christmas morning.
576
00:34:38,510 --> 00:34:42,512
That's thoughtful... and a lot
of work. You do it every year?
577
00:34:42,548 --> 00:34:44,881
Well, it's become
a bit of a tradition.
578
00:34:44,917 --> 00:34:47,617
Can you give me that one?
We have so many return guests,
579
00:34:47,653 --> 00:34:51,521
we like to personalize it. They
have sort of become like family.
580
00:34:51,557 --> 00:34:54,157
It's thoughtful with
the element of surprise.
581
00:34:54,226 --> 00:34:57,661
- Sorry?
- My investors would love this.
582
00:34:57,696 --> 00:34:59,763
They said Christmas Assist
took the thoughtfulness
583
00:34:59,798 --> 00:35:02,232
out of gift giving,
so... they passed.
584
00:35:02,267 --> 00:35:05,836
Well, sometimes things don't
work out the way we planned,
585
00:35:05,904 --> 00:35:08,905
but it leaves space
for something better.
586
00:35:08,974 --> 00:35:11,808
Are you saying I should go
into the stocking business?
587
00:35:11,844 --> 00:35:14,644
Yes, I think it'd be very
lucrative. Difficult to produce
588
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,547
for millions, though.
That's why you need an app.
589
00:35:17,583 --> 00:35:20,383
You know, you're
hanging stockings,
590
00:35:20,419 --> 00:35:22,379
but the cabin still doesn't
have a Christmas tree.
591
00:35:22,421 --> 00:35:26,490
Ah, I was hoping that you
would help me with that. Oh...
592
00:35:26,525 --> 00:35:30,527
- Santa's delivery service.
- Mike!
593
00:35:30,562 --> 00:35:33,663
Elise wanted me to bring this
by. Some lights and decorations
594
00:35:33,699 --> 00:35:36,233
from her gift shop
that you put aside.
595
00:35:36,268 --> 00:35:39,369
Then I thought...
a little Christmas
596
00:35:39,438 --> 00:35:42,372
- for your room.
- It's so cute! Thank you.
597
00:35:42,407 --> 00:35:44,686
Mike, what do you think about
helping Amelia find a tree?
598
00:35:44,710 --> 00:35:46,510
You're not coming with me?
599
00:35:46,578 --> 00:35:49,079
I'd love to, but I got
too much to do around here.
600
00:35:49,114 --> 00:35:52,082
Sure, I'd love to help out.
601
00:35:52,117 --> 00:35:55,886
Great. Come on,
get going! Get going!
602
00:36:04,730 --> 00:36:07,664
Well?
603
00:36:07,699 --> 00:36:10,800
Let's do this, huh?
604
00:36:10,869 --> 00:36:15,005
- I remember this smell.
- Yeah, fresh pine trees.
605
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:18,208
There's something special
about tree hunting.
606
00:36:18,243 --> 00:36:20,610
No offense, but being an
outdoorsy Search and Rescue guy,
607
00:36:20,646 --> 00:36:22,646
I would've thought you cut down
your own tree.
608
00:36:22,714 --> 00:36:25,048
I would, I just wanna, you know,
609
00:36:25,083 --> 00:36:28,919
- support local businesses.
- Ha! Right, that must be it.
610
00:36:28,954 --> 00:36:33,023
Hey, don't forget,
I'm here helping you.
611
00:36:33,058 --> 00:36:35,692
Do you remember when we were
kids and we used to pick trees?
612
00:36:35,727 --> 00:36:37,627
You always went
for the skinniest one.
613
00:36:37,663 --> 00:36:39,596
They were the runts
of the tree lot.
614
00:36:39,631 --> 00:36:41,743
I was just trying to give them
a chance at a happy Christmas.
615
00:36:41,767 --> 00:36:46,069
- I'm sure they were grateful.
- There it is!
616
00:36:46,104 --> 00:36:50,273
Okay, I can't take that twig
back to the cabin, okay?
617
00:36:50,309 --> 00:36:52,242
Sorry.
618
00:36:52,277 --> 00:36:55,745
You see that?
Now that is a tree.
619
00:36:55,781 --> 00:36:58,515
No, we'll never be
able to carry that.
620
00:36:58,550 --> 00:37:01,318
Yeah, we can. Come on,
621
00:37:01,353 --> 00:37:03,853
I've got faith in us.
622
00:37:03,889 --> 00:37:07,657
Well, I am glad one of us does.
623
00:37:07,693 --> 00:37:12,295
- Well, shall we?
- Okay.
624
00:37:12,331 --> 00:37:15,932
I can't believe you still have
625
00:37:15,968 --> 00:37:18,168
these decorations.
I made this macaroni angel
626
00:37:18,203 --> 00:37:21,071
in second grade.
627
00:37:21,106 --> 00:37:25,275
- You loved Christmas Angels.
- You remember that?
628
00:37:25,310 --> 00:37:27,544
- Yeah, of course.
- Maybe it's time for an update.
629
00:37:27,579 --> 00:37:29,479
No, it is perfect.
630
00:37:29,514 --> 00:37:31,581
Okay, well, what do we think?
How does it look?
631
00:37:31,617 --> 00:37:34,084
- It's beautiful.
- It's fantastic.
632
00:37:34,152 --> 00:37:36,987
Yeah. Thanks, guys, for
getting this great tree.
633
00:37:37,022 --> 00:37:39,356
Sorry.
634
00:37:39,391 --> 00:37:42,993
One second. Hey, Carrie,
what's going on?
635
00:37:43,028 --> 00:37:46,363
Hey! Just wanted to see how
it's going. Any inspiration?
636
00:37:46,398 --> 00:37:50,367
- Yeah, maybe a little. Why?
- Just wondering,
637
00:37:50,402 --> 00:37:53,270
do you want me to put together
a list of other investors,
638
00:37:53,305 --> 00:37:56,306
- or go back to Bill Burns?
- It's four days till Christmas.
639
00:37:56,375 --> 00:37:58,720
Aren't you with your family?
We can worry about it all later.
640
00:37:58,744 --> 00:38:01,745
What have you done with my boss?
641
00:38:01,780 --> 00:38:05,115
- Merry Christmas, Amelia.
- You too, Carrie.
642
00:38:05,150 --> 00:38:08,451
- Bye.
- Bye.
643
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,154
Thanks so much for
helping me out, both of you.
644
00:38:11,189 --> 00:38:14,291
- Of course, Harry.
- You guys hungry?
645
00:38:14,359 --> 00:38:16,393
What do you say to
some dinner? On me.
646
00:38:16,461 --> 00:38:20,563
- Yeah, that'd be great.
- How about Italian?
647
00:38:22,501 --> 00:38:25,068
I think people are surprised
to see you out at night.
648
00:38:25,103 --> 00:38:26,936
I go out.
649
00:38:28,507 --> 00:38:31,041
Sometimes.
650
00:38:31,076 --> 00:38:34,477
- Hi.
- Twice in one day!
651
00:38:34,513 --> 00:38:37,280
Aren't I lucky?
652
00:38:37,349 --> 00:38:38,715
Hi, guys!
653
00:38:38,750 --> 00:38:40,350
- Hi.
- Hi, Pam.
654
00:38:40,385 --> 00:38:43,253
- Looks really great.
- Thanks.
655
00:38:43,288 --> 00:38:47,557
Our special today is garlic
prawn Fettuccini Alfredo.
656
00:38:47,592 --> 00:38:49,492
House made, of course.
657
00:38:49,528 --> 00:38:52,362
- Hard to resist.
- That sounds so good.
658
00:38:52,431 --> 00:38:55,565
Anyway, I'll let you
have a few minutes
659
00:38:55,600 --> 00:39:00,136
- to decide.
- The last time I was here
660
00:39:00,205 --> 00:39:03,173
was when Dad took us out and he
let me order whatever I wanted.
661
00:39:03,208 --> 00:39:05,408
That's because he already knew
that he was leaving.
662
00:39:05,444 --> 00:39:07,644
I knew something was up
when he was so insistent
663
00:39:07,679 --> 00:39:10,914
- on paying for dinner.
- Good evening, everyone.
664
00:39:10,949 --> 00:39:13,094
Thank you for sharing the most
wonderful time of the year
665
00:39:13,118 --> 00:39:16,353
here with us here at Mistletoe.
It's nice to see familiar faces.
666
00:39:16,421 --> 00:39:19,155
This first one goes out
to an old friend.
667
00:39:19,191 --> 00:39:23,960
It was always her favorite.
Welcome home, Amelia.
668
00:39:37,676 --> 00:39:41,544
- Harry left in a flash.
- He got a call from the inn.
669
00:39:41,580 --> 00:39:44,748
But honestly, I think he
might've been overwhelmed.
670
00:39:47,419 --> 00:39:51,454
You know, I forgot Pamela sings.
671
00:39:51,490 --> 00:39:55,558
You remember when Harry used
to take us to a restaurant
672
00:39:55,627 --> 00:39:58,561
and he and Pamela would sing
together at the piano?
673
00:39:58,597 --> 00:40:01,798
Yeah. There's still something
between them. I can tell.
674
00:40:01,833 --> 00:40:04,267
Yeah. All this time and...
675
00:40:04,302 --> 00:40:06,469
not much has changed,
676
00:40:06,505 --> 00:40:08,405
yet everything has.
677
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,740
It's strange to think how one
moment in time can change
678
00:40:10,776 --> 00:40:13,042
- everything for someone.
- Yeah.
679
00:40:13,111 --> 00:40:15,445
- Why didn't you ever leave?
- Christmas Creek?
680
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:19,783
I did. I went to flight school.
I was in the air force
681
00:40:19,818 --> 00:40:22,138
- for five years as a pilot.
- You kidding? That's amazing.
682
00:40:22,187 --> 00:40:26,456
My dad got sick, and I wanted
to be here in his final days
683
00:40:26,491 --> 00:40:28,925
so I moved home.
684
00:40:28,994 --> 00:40:32,128
- I had no idea. I'm so sorry.
- It's okay.
685
00:40:32,164 --> 00:40:36,232
Harry became the closest thing I
had to family besides my sister.
686
00:40:36,301 --> 00:40:38,835
Elise had Scout,
687
00:40:38,870 --> 00:40:41,471
and Will, her husband,
was away often,
688
00:40:41,506 --> 00:40:45,475
- so I couldn't leave.
- Yeah.
689
00:40:45,544 --> 00:40:48,311
You know, this town
690
00:40:48,346 --> 00:40:52,449
has shown me family in ways
I could never give back.
691
00:40:52,484 --> 00:40:55,185
But I try nonetheless.
692
00:41:00,125 --> 00:41:03,259
I forgot how many stars
there were in the sky.
693
00:41:03,295 --> 00:41:06,095
The benefit of a small town.
Not many lights.
694
00:41:06,131 --> 00:41:08,264
Yeah.
695
00:41:08,300 --> 00:41:12,435
- You haven't left the city?
- Not much.
696
00:41:12,471 --> 00:41:15,538
C'mon, I wanna
show you something.
697
00:41:17,476 --> 00:41:20,477
How did you remember
the inn has a telescope?
698
00:41:20,545 --> 00:41:23,179
Harry lets me borrow it
whenever I want.
699
00:41:23,215 --> 00:41:25,582
I say it's for Scout,
but... it's really for me.
700
00:41:27,819 --> 00:41:30,253
Being near the stars was the
reason I was drawn to flying,
701
00:41:30,288 --> 00:41:32,555
and flying led me
to Search and Rescue.
702
00:41:32,591 --> 00:41:36,326
I don't know how you do that.
You don't find it scary?
703
00:41:36,361 --> 00:41:39,395
No. Not really.
What scares me most
704
00:41:39,431 --> 00:41:41,798
is all the people I can't help.
705
00:41:41,833 --> 00:41:44,767
You're a good person, Mike.
706
00:41:44,836 --> 00:41:47,537
Thanks, Meels.
So are you.
707
00:41:47,606 --> 00:41:50,840
I used to think I was.
I had dreams of growing up
708
00:41:50,876 --> 00:41:53,743
and doing something
remarkable, you know?
709
00:41:53,778 --> 00:41:57,347
- Is that what drew you to apps?
- I grew up near the tech world.
710
00:41:57,382 --> 00:41:59,349
I wanted to be an entrepreneur
711
00:41:59,417 --> 00:42:01,562
and creating an app just seemed
like the smart thing to do.
712
00:42:01,586 --> 00:42:05,021
The world is becoming more
reliant on their devices,
713
00:42:05,090 --> 00:42:08,358
so I just wanted to bring more
convenience into their lives.
714
00:42:08,393 --> 00:42:12,529
- Sounds honorable.
- Is it? I mean, look at you.
715
00:42:12,564 --> 00:42:15,365
You help the people of this town
and kids in need.
716
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:19,135
You're a hero.
I help people buy things.
717
00:42:19,204 --> 00:42:22,272
I'm just a guy, Meels.
718
00:42:22,307 --> 00:42:25,108
The same guy you knew
growing up.
719
00:42:25,176 --> 00:42:27,176
And you...
720
00:42:27,212 --> 00:42:29,879
are still the same girl I knew.
721
00:42:29,915 --> 00:42:33,550
I don't think that's true.
That girl had wide eyes
722
00:42:33,618 --> 00:42:37,487
and a sense of wonder. I don't
think I have that anymore.
723
00:42:37,522 --> 00:42:39,622
Yeah, you do.
724
00:42:39,658 --> 00:42:42,559
You know why I know?
725
00:42:42,594 --> 00:42:45,628
Because... take a look.
726
00:42:50,035 --> 00:42:54,037
Isn't it something?
727
00:42:54,072 --> 00:42:57,674
I think that's the Pleiades.
728
00:42:57,742 --> 00:43:00,410
Oh my God...
729
00:43:00,445 --> 00:43:03,146
Hey!
730
00:43:03,181 --> 00:43:07,150
- You are going down, Ruggles!
- Whoa!
731
00:43:07,185 --> 00:43:10,453
It's cold!
732
00:43:13,992 --> 00:43:17,560
You know what, Mike?
I missed this.
733
00:43:19,497 --> 00:43:22,765
I missed it, too.
734
00:43:42,454 --> 00:43:45,088
I love that photo.
735
00:43:45,123 --> 00:43:47,991
Yeah. Yeah.
736
00:43:48,026 --> 00:43:50,360
- Have a good time with Mike?
- Yeah,
737
00:43:50,395 --> 00:43:52,829
we looked at the stars and then
had a snowball fight.
738
00:43:52,864 --> 00:43:55,098
Gingerbread cookies!
Do you mind?
739
00:43:55,133 --> 00:43:57,266
Help yourself.
740
00:43:59,204 --> 00:44:02,672
You know, I forgot
Grandpa used to fly.
741
00:44:02,707 --> 00:44:05,475
Yeah, Dad would bring us up on
weekends. I was so surprised
742
00:44:05,510 --> 00:44:09,712
that Dan didn't take to it.
I suppose his head
743
00:44:09,748 --> 00:44:12,882
was always in the books and my
head was always in the clouds.
744
00:44:12,917 --> 00:44:15,251
- What do you mean?
- Well,
745
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:19,088
he was a natural for business.
746
00:44:19,124 --> 00:44:22,358
He used to get on my case about
taking things more seriously,
747
00:44:22,394 --> 00:44:24,961
but I was always
greeting the guests
748
00:44:25,030 --> 00:44:28,364
and being a showman.
A regular Santa Claus.
749
00:44:28,433 --> 00:44:31,367
Yeah, but that's who you are.
750
00:44:31,403 --> 00:44:33,469
It's who you've always been.
751
00:44:33,505 --> 00:44:36,205
- And you're good at it.
- It's no way to run an inn,
752
00:44:36,241 --> 00:44:39,375
and I had to learn the hard way.
753
00:44:39,411 --> 00:44:43,012
- That's when my life changed.
- But now the inn is successful,
754
00:44:43,048 --> 00:44:46,416
and you've done it by yourself.
I think Dad would be proud.
755
00:44:46,451 --> 00:44:49,218
Why don't you reach out?
756
00:44:49,254 --> 00:44:52,522
Danny and me...
so much has been said
757
00:44:52,590 --> 00:44:55,191
- that can't be unsaid, you know?
- I don't know.
758
00:44:55,226 --> 00:44:59,429
Honestly, I don't even know how
it happened between you and Dad
759
00:44:59,464 --> 00:45:02,832
and why we had to leave so
suddenly on Christmas Eve.
760
00:45:02,867 --> 00:45:05,735
Okay, so... when
Danny got the offer
761
00:45:05,770 --> 00:45:08,805
to work at Baroncrest Hotels
762
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:12,108
and he said he was leaving,
763
00:45:12,177 --> 00:45:15,611
I was just so...
764
00:45:15,647 --> 00:45:17,647
angry.
765
00:45:17,682 --> 00:45:22,151
It was right before Fly By,
and I was just so hurt.
766
00:45:22,187 --> 00:45:24,921
And I said to him:
"Well, if you're leaving,
767
00:45:24,989 --> 00:45:28,391
- you might as well leave now".
- I see.
768
00:45:28,426 --> 00:45:32,028
I know I haven't always dealt
with things in the best way.
769
00:45:32,063 --> 00:45:36,099
I've said a lot of things
I'm not proud of, and...
770
00:45:36,167 --> 00:45:40,069
I'm so sorry that I never
reached out to you guys
771
00:45:40,105 --> 00:45:44,474
over the years. I wanted to.
772
00:45:44,509 --> 00:45:47,844
But for what it's worth, I never
wanted any of you to leave.
773
00:45:50,014 --> 00:45:52,281
I've missed you, Uncle Harry.
774
00:45:52,317 --> 00:45:55,284
I've missed you, too, Amelia.
775
00:46:11,870 --> 00:46:14,237
There you are.
Good afternoon.
776
00:46:14,272 --> 00:46:17,173
Good afternoon. I got caught
working on my app, or trying to,
777
00:46:17,208 --> 00:46:19,776
- and now I need a break.
- Well, perfect timing.
778
00:46:19,811 --> 00:46:22,512
I just made us some lunch,
so help yourself,
779
00:46:22,547 --> 00:46:24,680
take something to eat,
and when you're done,
780
00:46:24,716 --> 00:46:27,683
- come meet me at the plane.
- Are we going flying again?
781
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:31,087
No, this time we are
decorating it.
782
00:46:31,122 --> 00:46:34,290
- Just like old times.
- That's right. So eat up.
783
00:46:38,630 --> 00:46:41,898
And then she gets me with a
snowball in the back of my neck.
784
00:46:41,966 --> 00:46:43,966
I was shocked,
considering I don't think
785
00:46:44,002 --> 00:46:46,202
she's played in the snow
since she was 13.
786
00:46:46,237 --> 00:46:48,037
What?
787
00:46:48,106 --> 00:46:49,906
Nothing.
788
00:46:49,941 --> 00:46:53,843
Don't get ahead of yourself.
I told you we're just friends.
789
00:46:53,878 --> 00:46:56,445
- It's nice to see you happy.
- I'm always happy.
790
00:46:56,481 --> 00:46:59,148
You've spent your whole life
giving to others.
791
00:46:59,184 --> 00:47:02,285
You make your work, your family,
your charity the most important.
792
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:04,420
You deserve love, too.
793
00:47:04,489 --> 00:47:08,357
- OK, stop. We're just friends.
- Okay.
794
00:47:08,393 --> 00:47:11,160
Yeah, you just keep on
telling yourself that.
795
00:47:11,196 --> 00:47:13,396
Look who it is!
796
00:47:13,431 --> 00:47:15,331
- Scout!
- Is it Dad?
797
00:47:15,366 --> 00:47:17,300
It's Dad!
798
00:47:17,335 --> 00:47:19,869
- Dad, I wrapped your present!
- You did?
799
00:47:19,904 --> 00:47:22,338
I can't wait to get it.
Is your mom there?
800
00:47:22,373 --> 00:47:24,407
I'm here. Hi, honey,
how are you?
801
00:47:24,442 --> 00:47:26,609
Hi, sweetie.
I'm good. Good now.
802
00:47:26,678 --> 00:47:29,545
- When are you coming home?
- As soon as I can.
803
00:47:29,581 --> 00:47:33,416
- Is that Mike in the back?
- Hey, looking good, Will.
804
00:47:33,484 --> 00:47:36,085
Hey, Mike. Thanks for taking
care of my girls for me.
805
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,399
What are you talking about?
They're keeping an eye on me.
806
00:47:38,423 --> 00:47:40,489
Will you be home for Christmas?
807
00:47:40,525 --> 00:47:42,959
There's nowhere else I wanna
be than home for Christmas.
808
00:47:42,994 --> 00:47:46,829
I'm gonna do everything I can
to be there. You just...
809
00:47:46,865 --> 00:47:50,333
Dad? Dad?
Are you there?
810
00:47:54,572 --> 00:47:56,539
It's okay.
811
00:48:00,912 --> 00:48:03,646
I can't believe it's the 40th
Anniversary of Fly By Santa
812
00:48:03,681 --> 00:48:06,249
and you still have
the same plane.
813
00:48:06,284 --> 00:48:08,818
Yeah, well, she's a classic.
814
00:48:08,853 --> 00:48:10,753
Lucky for us, the lake
hasn't frozen over.
815
00:48:10,788 --> 00:48:13,189
That always makes Fly By
a little extra challenging.
816
00:48:13,224 --> 00:48:15,892
Did you always know
what you loved?
817
00:48:15,927 --> 00:48:19,996
Yeah, I've always loved flying.
818
00:48:21,933 --> 00:48:24,700
I think the things we love are
always a part of who we are.
819
00:48:24,736 --> 00:48:27,203
We just have to remember that.
820
00:48:29,173 --> 00:48:31,407
When I was younger,
I wanted to help people.
821
00:48:31,442 --> 00:48:34,644
Well, you do. I mean,
apps help people,
822
00:48:34,679 --> 00:48:37,313
- don't they?
- They can,
823
00:48:37,348 --> 00:48:40,650
but I'm worried the people who
turned down my app were right.
824
00:48:40,685 --> 00:48:44,086
I'm seeing how much my past has
colored the way I see Christmas.
825
00:48:44,122 --> 00:48:46,622
And now, being here
with you and Mike,
826
00:48:46,658 --> 00:48:49,425
and getting to be a part
of Christmas again,
827
00:48:49,494 --> 00:48:53,629
I'm just not sure what I'm
supposed to do with my life.
828
00:48:53,698 --> 00:48:56,933
Lucky for you, you're
surrounded by the peace
829
00:48:56,968 --> 00:48:59,635
and quiet of this place for
a few days. Maybe afterwards
830
00:48:59,704 --> 00:49:02,004
you'll feel a little more clear.
831
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:04,440
- Yeah, maybe.
- It's kind of simple.
832
00:49:04,475 --> 00:49:06,909
Just find out
the thing that you love
833
00:49:06,978 --> 00:49:10,947
and it'll all sort itself out.
Just follow your heart.
834
00:49:10,982 --> 00:49:13,416
That is a lot
of bumper stickers.
835
00:49:13,451 --> 00:49:15,551
I figure one of them will stick.
836
00:49:15,586 --> 00:49:18,988
So, are you gonna
follow your heart?
837
00:49:19,023 --> 00:49:21,424
We're not talking about me here.
838
00:49:21,459 --> 00:49:24,360
Maybe not, but we should be.
839
00:49:28,566 --> 00:49:30,633
Alright. It's looking good.
840
00:49:30,668 --> 00:49:34,637
Yeah, it better, considering
it took us most of the day!
841
00:49:34,706 --> 00:49:38,341
Guess I still make
the best co-pilot, huh?
842
00:49:38,409 --> 00:49:41,711
I thought I was
your best co-pilot?
843
00:49:41,746 --> 00:49:43,779
You know what? I think I'm
gonna let you two guys
844
00:49:43,815 --> 00:49:46,549
battle this out.
845
00:49:46,584 --> 00:49:48,184
I got something I need
to take care of.
846
00:49:48,219 --> 00:49:50,186
Okay, see ya.
847
00:49:52,256 --> 00:49:55,124
- Came to see if you're hungry?
- Yes, starving.
848
00:49:55,159 --> 00:49:58,361
And I know where Uncle Harry
keeps the best snacks.
849
00:49:58,396 --> 00:50:00,463
- Really?
- Come on. Yeah.
850
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:06,168
You ever wonder what our lives
would be like if I didn't move?
851
00:50:06,204 --> 00:50:08,604
Yeah, sometimes.
852
00:50:08,639 --> 00:50:11,540
Are you happy that you stayed?
853
00:50:11,576 --> 00:50:14,577
Yeah, I mean,
I went to the air force
854
00:50:14,612 --> 00:50:17,346
knowing I was gonna come back
855
00:50:17,382 --> 00:50:20,983
and raise a family. I just
came back a little sooner.
856
00:50:21,019 --> 00:50:25,087
Yeah, I guess I just
always imagined my life
857
00:50:25,123 --> 00:50:28,424
to look different. You know, I'd
like to get married one day,
858
00:50:28,493 --> 00:50:31,660
but can you imagine my dad
and Uncle Harry at a wedding?
859
00:50:31,729 --> 00:50:34,163
Not exactly the place
for a family reunion.
860
00:50:34,198 --> 00:50:36,265
And I certainly don't want
my kids growing up
861
00:50:36,300 --> 00:50:38,868
thinking families that
don't talk are normal.
862
00:50:38,903 --> 00:50:41,037
Well, what would you do
differently?
863
00:50:41,072 --> 00:50:44,273
For starters, I wouldn't be
afraid to tell my parents
864
00:50:44,308 --> 00:50:46,509
- that I'm here.
- They don't know you're here?
865
00:50:48,946 --> 00:50:51,280
Hey...
866
00:50:51,349 --> 00:50:54,917
It's okay that
you want to be here.
867
00:50:54,952 --> 00:50:58,888
And... I'm really glad
that you are.
868
00:50:58,956 --> 00:51:01,257
I am, too.
869
00:51:03,194 --> 00:51:05,628
Here's a crazy idea.
870
00:51:05,663 --> 00:51:08,531
What if we're meant to be here,
roasting chestnuts
871
00:51:08,566 --> 00:51:12,134
on an open fire,
and you being here
872
00:51:12,170 --> 00:51:15,571
is gonna, you know,
get your dad and Harry
873
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:17,506
back together again?
874
00:51:17,575 --> 00:51:20,576
I love your hopeful optimism,
but that is very unlikely.
875
00:51:22,780 --> 00:51:24,713
Do you ever wish
876
00:51:24,749 --> 00:51:27,383
you could just go back in time
and change that moment?
877
00:51:30,755 --> 00:51:32,655
You mean the moment
when you left?
878
00:51:34,625 --> 00:51:36,525
Yeah.
879
00:51:36,561 --> 00:51:39,495
Yeah, I do.
880
00:51:39,530 --> 00:51:43,332
Life is a lot
out of our control,
881
00:51:43,367 --> 00:51:46,335
and we should just be grateful
882
00:51:46,370 --> 00:51:50,372
about moments like this.
883
00:51:53,111 --> 00:51:56,212
- It's hot.
- Are you okay?
884
00:51:56,247 --> 00:51:59,115
- Yeah, I think so.
- Let me see.
885
00:52:00,418 --> 00:52:02,318
Mike?
886
00:52:02,353 --> 00:52:05,654
Sorry to interrupt...
887
00:52:05,723 --> 00:52:08,357
that...
888
00:52:08,392 --> 00:52:11,694
- Scout's on the phone for you.
- Thanks, I'll be right there.
889
00:52:15,867 --> 00:52:19,835
- I guess we better go, huh?
- Yeah, I guess so.
890
00:52:33,284 --> 00:52:36,919
Sorry, the kitchen
is closed. Hi.
891
00:52:36,954 --> 00:52:40,289
Actually, I...
just came by to see you.
892
00:52:45,863 --> 00:52:49,131
- Can I get you a drink?
- Yeah, that'd be nice.
893
00:52:51,068 --> 00:52:53,769
- How about a glass of your...
- I remember.
894
00:53:13,558 --> 00:53:16,158
- Thanks.
- You're welcome.
895
00:53:18,629 --> 00:53:22,264
- Well... cheers.
- Cheers.
896
00:53:28,172 --> 00:53:30,940
- It's been a long time since...
- It was lovely hearing...
897
00:53:30,975 --> 00:53:35,277
- Ladies first.
- I was going to say,
898
00:53:35,313 --> 00:53:38,147
it's been a long time
since I've heard you play.
899
00:53:38,182 --> 00:53:41,917
And it was lovely hearing you.
900
00:53:41,953 --> 00:53:44,019
- It just brought back...
- A lot of memories?
901
00:53:44,055 --> 00:53:47,656
Yeah. Good ones.
902
00:53:49,594 --> 00:53:51,794
Care to join me?
903
00:54:08,246 --> 00:54:12,047
Should auld acquaintance.
904
00:55:33,064 --> 00:55:36,231
- Good morning!
- Morning.
905
00:55:36,267 --> 00:55:39,234
- What are you up to?
- Sleeping.
906
00:55:39,270 --> 00:55:42,304
- I was hoping to get your help.
- For the Gingerbread House?
907
00:55:42,340 --> 00:55:44,907
Actually, something different.
Meet me in the lobby in ten?
908
00:55:44,942 --> 00:55:47,409
Okay.
909
00:55:55,186 --> 00:55:57,553
Hey, you started without me.
910
00:55:57,588 --> 00:56:00,789
Well, you're a little late.
I said ten minutes.
911
00:56:00,825 --> 00:56:03,392
I was only like eleven minutes.
912
00:56:03,427 --> 00:56:05,294
Well, you look nice.
913
00:56:05,329 --> 00:56:09,331
Thank you.
914
00:56:09,367 --> 00:56:13,235
Look at all these toys. The
kids are going to be so happy.
915
00:56:13,270 --> 00:56:17,639
Yeah. It's my favorite part
of Fly By Santa. The faces.
916
00:56:17,675 --> 00:56:20,242
- Thanks for helping.
- Of course.
917
00:56:20,277 --> 00:56:22,211
I'm happy to. Please.
918
00:56:22,246 --> 00:56:24,947
It's all about
the giving, right?
919
00:56:24,982 --> 00:56:27,349
Well, lunch is on me.
920
00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:32,855
Alright, who am I kidding?
It's all about the receiving.
921
00:56:42,900 --> 00:56:45,167
- Amelia!
- Hi!
922
00:56:45,202 --> 00:56:47,336
Mike! Hi!
923
00:56:47,405 --> 00:56:50,272
I was just thinking about you.
I just filled a box
924
00:56:50,341 --> 00:56:52,641
with toys for Fly By Santa.
925
00:56:52,676 --> 00:56:54,810
That is great. Thank you.
926
00:56:54,879 --> 00:56:58,814
- We're actually here for lunch.
- Well!
927
00:56:58,849 --> 00:57:01,984
- Well, sit anywhere you'd like.
- Great, thank you.
928
00:57:02,019 --> 00:57:03,952
Can I bring you a glass of wine?
929
00:57:03,988 --> 00:57:05,821
Yeah. Yeah, sure.
930
00:57:05,890 --> 00:57:07,556
- Okay.
- Great.
931
00:57:07,591 --> 00:57:10,526
Is it just me, or does Pamela
932
00:57:10,594 --> 00:57:14,029
- look happier than last time?
- Yeah, she sure does.
933
00:57:14,064 --> 00:57:16,732
What are you going to get?
934
00:57:16,767 --> 00:57:19,768
Maybe the steak?
935
00:57:19,837 --> 00:57:22,137
You're gonna get the steak
at an Italian restaurant?
936
00:57:22,173 --> 00:57:23,950
The steak is the right
choice in any restaurant,
937
00:57:23,974 --> 00:57:25,874
and it is amazing here,
938
00:57:25,910 --> 00:57:28,777
- for the record.
- Okay, I'll keep that in mind.
939
00:57:28,813 --> 00:57:31,180
Okay, here we go.
940
00:57:31,215 --> 00:57:34,116
That's for you. That's for you.
941
00:57:34,151 --> 00:57:37,519
- Have you had a chance to decide?
- Yes. I'll have the spaghetti.
942
00:57:37,555 --> 00:57:40,289
- Good choice.
- The steak. Medium.
943
00:57:40,324 --> 00:57:42,257
You got it.
944
00:57:42,293 --> 00:57:44,560
- Skaal.
- Skaal.
945
00:57:47,731 --> 00:57:51,433
- I love this place.
- I practically have a tab here.
946
00:57:51,469 --> 00:57:54,436
- Do you cook much?
- Yeah, a little.
947
00:57:54,505 --> 00:57:57,506
It's not so much fun
cooking on your own.
948
00:57:57,575 --> 00:58:02,177
- Yeah, I know what you mean.
- I'm, I'm officiating
949
00:58:02,213 --> 00:58:04,146
the Tree Lighting
tonight for fun.
950
00:58:04,215 --> 00:58:08,383
You could be my date...
I mean, if you want.
951
00:58:08,419 --> 00:58:11,920
Yeah, I would love to.
952
00:58:11,989 --> 00:58:14,289
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
953
00:58:14,325 --> 00:58:17,359
Okay. Be fun, right?
954
00:58:17,394 --> 00:58:20,362
Yeah, it will.
955
00:58:20,431 --> 00:58:23,532
I recommend heading into town
this afternoon for our Annual.
956
00:58:23,567 --> 00:58:26,001
Tree Lighting and Gingerbread
House Contest.
957
00:58:26,036 --> 00:58:28,403
Excuse me.
958
00:58:36,146 --> 00:58:38,080
Hello?
959
00:58:38,115 --> 00:58:41,116
This is Nathan
from Hughes' Family Inn.
960
00:58:41,151 --> 00:58:44,152
Amelia? She's not here.
961
00:58:44,188 --> 00:58:46,588
Can I take a message?
962
00:58:49,793 --> 00:58:52,995
Maybe Harry can help you
with your concern.
963
00:58:53,030 --> 00:58:56,331
One moment, please.
964
00:58:56,400 --> 00:58:59,301
Hello? Hello?
965
00:58:59,336 --> 00:59:01,637
They hung up.
966
00:59:01,672 --> 00:59:04,172
- Whose phone is this?
- Amelia's.
967
00:59:08,445 --> 00:59:10,479
And I'm doing the final
toy pick-up tomorrow
968
00:59:10,514 --> 00:59:13,515
- before Fly By Santa, wanna join?
- Yeah, that sounds fun.
969
00:59:13,584 --> 00:59:16,018
- Yeah? Good.
- Yeah.
970
00:59:16,053 --> 00:59:18,353
- Amelia, there you are.
- Uncle Harry,
971
00:59:18,389 --> 00:59:20,689
we just went into town for
lunch. Is everything okay?
972
00:59:20,724 --> 00:59:25,994
- Your phone was ringing.
- I left my phone here? Oops.
973
00:59:26,063 --> 00:59:29,765
Nathan answered it, he handed
the phone to me, and well...
974
00:59:31,402 --> 00:59:35,604
Mom and Dad called?
They know I'm here.
975
00:59:47,718 --> 00:59:50,919
Hi there, you've
reached the Hughes.
976
00:59:50,955 --> 00:59:53,221
We're not here right now.
Please leave a message.
977
00:59:55,593 --> 00:59:58,827
Hey, everything okay?
978
00:59:58,862 --> 01:00:00,929
I tried calling.
They're not answering.
979
01:00:00,965 --> 01:00:03,432
I'm sure everything is fine.
980
01:00:03,467 --> 01:00:05,534
Try not to jump to conclusions.
981
01:00:05,569 --> 01:00:07,480
Please don't tell me
not to jump to conclusions.
982
01:00:07,504 --> 01:00:09,371
I know my dad,
he's going to be upset.
983
01:00:09,406 --> 01:00:12,641
- What do I say?
- How about the truth?
984
01:00:12,676 --> 01:00:16,845
- Come on, we should get going.
- No,
985
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:19,314
- I gotta check on Uncle Harry.
- Meels, are you okay?
986
01:00:19,350 --> 01:00:21,917
Yeah, I'm fine. I just...
I have to talk to Uncle Harry.
987
01:00:25,556 --> 01:00:28,056
I tried calling,
988
01:00:28,092 --> 01:00:31,126
- and they won't answer.
- Well, you're lucky.
989
01:00:31,161 --> 01:00:34,062
They hung up on me before
I had a chance to say hello.
990
01:00:34,098 --> 01:00:38,266
- I'm sorry.
- It's not your fault.
991
01:00:38,302 --> 01:00:40,702
I don't know
what I was expecting.
992
01:00:40,738 --> 01:00:43,972
My brother has always
been stubborn.
993
01:00:44,041 --> 01:00:47,209
- Us Hughes are all stubborn.
- Yeah.
994
01:00:49,713 --> 01:00:52,214
I was rude to Mike.
And he left.
995
01:00:52,249 --> 01:00:54,483
I'm sure
996
01:00:54,518 --> 01:00:56,752
Mike understands.
997
01:00:56,787 --> 01:00:58,798
My ex Brad says that I push
people away when I get upset.
998
01:00:58,822 --> 01:01:01,623
I have no idea
what that feels like.
999
01:01:01,692 --> 01:01:05,794
It must be our family pattern.
1000
01:01:05,829 --> 01:01:08,397
I'm pretty sure all my problems
are because of what happened
1001
01:01:08,432 --> 01:01:11,099
all those years ago...
I lost you, and Mike, and...
1002
01:01:11,135 --> 01:01:14,670
You did not lose Mike, and
you certainly haven't lost me.
1003
01:01:14,705 --> 01:01:18,273
I worry. Ever since then,
I don't really let people in.
1004
01:01:18,308 --> 01:01:21,243
I'm not going anywhere,
Amelia, OK?
1005
01:01:21,311 --> 01:01:23,812
Me neither, Uncle Harry.
1006
01:01:23,847 --> 01:01:26,848
They called, so what?
1007
01:01:26,884 --> 01:01:30,152
I'm not gonna let it ruin
my night, are you?
1008
01:01:31,255 --> 01:01:34,022
No, sir.
1009
01:02:01,885 --> 01:02:04,319
- Hey.
- Hey!
1010
01:02:04,354 --> 01:02:08,123
- Brought you hot chocolate.
- You're sweet.
1011
01:02:08,158 --> 01:02:10,125
Well, it's Christmas
and everything.
1012
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:12,561
Perfect timing. I was just
closing up shop.
1013
01:02:12,596 --> 01:02:15,130
Yeah.
1014
01:02:15,165 --> 01:02:19,167
Harry, what's going on?
1015
01:02:19,203 --> 01:02:22,471
Nothing, I'm...
you know, just drinking
1016
01:02:22,506 --> 01:02:25,674
- hot chocolate...
- I mean...
1017
01:02:25,709 --> 01:02:28,143
You know what I mean.
1018
01:02:28,178 --> 01:02:30,245
Yeah.
1019
01:02:32,182 --> 01:02:35,550
Look, I know I made
a lot of mistakes
1020
01:02:35,586 --> 01:02:38,320
and...
1021
01:02:38,355 --> 01:02:41,623
the biggest mistake I made
was letting you walk away.
1022
01:02:45,429 --> 01:02:47,863
I didn't fight
for our relationship,
1023
01:02:47,898 --> 01:02:49,998
when I should have.
1024
01:02:51,969 --> 01:02:54,336
I want to believe you,
1025
01:02:54,371 --> 01:02:58,206
but I don't know if I can I
trust that things have changed.
1026
01:02:58,242 --> 01:03:00,342
I get that. I do.
1027
01:03:00,377 --> 01:03:02,677
But with Amelia home,
1028
01:03:02,746 --> 01:03:06,782
we've had some... pretty
interesting conversations.
1029
01:03:08,752 --> 01:03:12,220
I saw how much I was letting
my life pass by, and...
1030
01:03:12,256 --> 01:03:15,490
I'm not willing
to do that anymore.
1031
01:03:15,559 --> 01:03:19,027
I guess I was just so afraid
that you were going to leave me
1032
01:03:19,062 --> 01:03:21,897
that I pushed you away first.
1033
01:03:21,932 --> 01:03:25,767
So I don't blame you
for giving up on me.
1034
01:03:27,771 --> 01:03:31,006
And I'm sorry
I hurt you the way I did.
1035
01:03:33,744 --> 01:03:38,146
But you've always had my heart.
1036
01:03:50,394 --> 01:03:54,996
- The mistletoe's a nice touch.
- I did it for the restaurant.
1037
01:03:55,032 --> 01:03:57,232
Okay, maybe I was hopeful.
1038
01:04:04,208 --> 01:04:07,509
Well, in that case,
will you be my date,
1039
01:04:07,544 --> 01:04:12,180
- and join me in the Town Square?
- I would love to.
1040
01:04:15,819 --> 01:04:19,454
Good evening, Christmas Creek!
1041
01:04:19,489 --> 01:04:22,724
My name Mike Ruggles
and I'm proud to officiate
1042
01:04:22,793 --> 01:04:25,427
the Annual Tree Lighting
1043
01:04:25,462 --> 01:04:28,129
and Gingerbread House Contest!
1044
01:04:30,234 --> 01:04:34,236
You know, there's a reason why
I've called this town my home
1045
01:04:34,304 --> 01:04:37,472
for almost 30 years,
and this year,
1046
01:04:37,541 --> 01:04:41,176
you've outdone yourselves.
Everything looks amazing.
1047
01:04:41,211 --> 01:04:43,678
So, without further ado,
1048
01:04:43,714 --> 01:04:47,249
on the count of three,
let us light the tree!
1049
01:04:47,284 --> 01:04:50,485
One, two...
1050
01:04:52,689 --> 01:04:56,658
Three!
1051
01:05:00,130 --> 01:05:02,397
Brilliant work, everybody!
1052
01:05:02,432 --> 01:05:06,635
- Amelia!
- Elise, hi!
1053
01:05:06,703 --> 01:05:09,804
- Merry Christmas!
- So good to have you home.
1054
01:05:09,840 --> 01:05:12,540
- Nice to see you.
- I'm gonna go to Scout.
1055
01:05:12,576 --> 01:05:16,211
Alright, last chance to check
out the Gingerbread Houses
1056
01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:20,682
and also get your vote in here.
We will tally the winner soon,
1057
01:05:20,717 --> 01:05:24,452
and may the best house win!
1058
01:05:32,129 --> 01:05:34,462
Hey...
1059
01:05:34,498 --> 01:05:36,398
Hey.
1060
01:05:36,433 --> 01:05:40,135
- I'm sorry about earlier, Mike.
- It's okay.
1061
01:05:40,170 --> 01:05:43,405
No, it's not. I was pushing
you away. You didn't deserve it.
1062
01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:45,774
I wasn't just trying
to make you feel better.
1063
01:05:45,809 --> 01:05:49,244
I meant it. I know
everything's gonna be okay.
1064
01:05:49,313 --> 01:05:53,315
I hope so. All I want for is
for my family rift to be healed,
1065
01:05:53,383 --> 01:05:55,750
all of us to be happy.
This was the first Christmas
1066
01:05:55,786 --> 01:05:57,986
I was actually
enjoying in a while,
1067
01:05:58,021 --> 01:06:00,288
and now I'm just worried
about my parents.
1068
01:06:00,324 --> 01:06:02,691
Don't lose hope, okay?
1069
01:06:11,568 --> 01:06:15,437
Duty calls.
1070
01:06:15,472 --> 01:06:17,772
- I'll see you in a bit.
- Okay.
1071
01:06:20,911 --> 01:06:25,347
Alright, folks, the votes
are in... and the winner
1072
01:06:25,382 --> 01:06:28,750
of the Gingerbread House
Contest is... none other
1073
01:06:28,785 --> 01:06:33,221
than my very own niece,
Scout Redding!
1074
01:06:33,256 --> 01:06:36,891
I had nothing to do
with the voting, I promise.
1075
01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:39,728
Mom, can you take a photo
1076
01:06:39,763 --> 01:06:43,531
- for Dad?
- Yes, yes. Ready?
1077
01:06:47,037 --> 01:06:51,039
Merry Christmas, everyone!
Enjoy the festivities!
1078
01:06:58,281 --> 01:07:00,448
I'll never forget
the look on Scout's face
1079
01:07:00,484 --> 01:07:03,485
- for as long as I live.
- Hey, how about a cup
1080
01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:05,440
- of hot apple cider?
- Yeah, I'll come with you.
1081
01:07:05,489 --> 01:07:07,355
Mom, Dad?
1082
01:07:07,424 --> 01:07:11,059
- What're you doing here?
- We came for Christmas.
1083
01:07:11,094 --> 01:07:15,230
- Danny?
- Hi, brother.
1084
01:07:29,780 --> 01:07:31,980
- This cider's really good.
- Thank you.
1085
01:07:32,049 --> 01:07:35,850
It's a Hughes family recipe.
We used to make it as a family.
1086
01:07:37,754 --> 01:07:40,221
The inn looks good.
1087
01:07:40,290 --> 01:07:42,490
Thanks. We're all booked up,
1088
01:07:42,559 --> 01:07:45,326
but I'm sure we can figure out
a place for you to stay.
1089
01:07:45,362 --> 01:07:47,462
Actually, we had an early
check-out this morning,
1090
01:07:47,497 --> 01:07:50,331
so I put them upstairs.
I hope that's okay?
1091
01:07:50,367 --> 01:07:53,101
- Great. Put them on my bill.
- You don't have to pay for me,
1092
01:07:53,136 --> 01:07:55,570
- darling.
- Dad, please, I want to.
1093
01:07:55,605 --> 01:07:59,007
We can take care
of our own bill.
1094
01:07:59,042 --> 01:08:01,242
Alright, you guys,
if you want to get changed,
1095
01:08:01,278 --> 01:08:04,946
- Christmas dinner's almost ready.
- Great.
1096
01:08:08,385 --> 01:08:12,153
I know Christmas isn't
for two days, but we've got
1097
01:08:12,222 --> 01:08:14,689
a lot of Christmases
to make up for, so I thought
1098
01:08:14,724 --> 01:08:18,126
- we should start now.
- This is wonderful, thank you.
1099
01:08:18,161 --> 01:08:21,863
- Everything looks delicious.
- Thank you, Helena
1100
01:08:21,932 --> 01:08:24,899
and Pamela. Thank you.
1101
01:08:24,935 --> 01:08:27,168
Growing up in Denmark,
my most precious memories
1102
01:08:27,204 --> 01:08:30,572
were of the long smorgasbord
meals around the table.
1103
01:08:30,607 --> 01:08:33,775
I've missed this... So here is
1104
01:08:33,810 --> 01:08:36,111
to our family,
all together again.
1105
01:08:36,146 --> 01:08:39,614
- Merry Christmas! Skaal!
- Skaal!
1106
01:08:46,289 --> 01:08:51,159
Well, I am grateful
to be included. Thank you.
1107
01:08:51,194 --> 01:08:53,895
Of course. You're family.
You've always been there for me
1108
01:08:53,930 --> 01:08:56,865
- and I really appreciate that.
- Is that supposed to mean
1109
01:08:56,933 --> 01:08:59,868
I wasn't there for you?
1110
01:09:01,805 --> 01:09:04,772
Well, those are
your words, not mine.
1111
01:09:04,808 --> 01:09:07,942
You know, you can pretend
everything was fine,
1112
01:09:07,978 --> 01:09:11,679
but you knew as well as I did
the inn was struggling.
1113
01:09:11,715 --> 01:09:13,993
- I couldn't do it by myself.
- You weren't. We were partners.
1114
01:09:14,017 --> 01:09:16,417
Mom and Dad built this inn
so you and I could run this.
1115
01:09:16,453 --> 01:09:20,588
Except I did all the work! And
we could barely make ends meet,
1116
01:09:20,624 --> 01:09:23,691
let alone support two families,
so I made a choice.
1117
01:09:23,727 --> 01:09:25,793
- The one I had to make...
- You made the choice
1118
01:09:25,829 --> 01:09:27,929
of going all the way
across the country
1119
01:09:27,964 --> 01:09:30,331
and becoming CFO
of some company?
1120
01:09:30,367 --> 01:09:33,868
Will you both please stop?
1121
01:09:35,272 --> 01:09:37,049
Honey, why didn't you
tell us you were here,
1122
01:09:37,073 --> 01:09:40,275
spending Christmas
with my brother?
1123
01:09:40,310 --> 01:09:42,844
I had to find out
from the bellman.
1124
01:09:42,879 --> 01:09:45,947
Actually, I'm the front desk
clerk. Not important.
1125
01:09:45,982 --> 01:09:48,016
Enjoy your dinner.
1126
01:09:49,920 --> 01:09:53,154
I'm sorry.
1127
01:09:53,190 --> 01:09:56,191
I didn't tell you because
I knew you would be upset.
1128
01:09:56,259 --> 01:09:59,394
I had a right to come home.
Uncle Harry is my uncle.
1129
01:09:59,429 --> 01:10:01,674
This isn't my feud, and I feel
like I've been in the middle
1130
01:10:01,698 --> 01:10:04,132
of it my entire life.
I'm tired of it.
1131
01:10:04,201 --> 01:10:06,334
- Honey.
- No. If we don't have
1132
01:10:06,369 --> 01:10:09,070
each other, then what do we
have? Look at us. We're all...
1133
01:10:09,105 --> 01:10:12,040
adults and yet we're just
behaving like children.
1134
01:10:12,075 --> 01:10:15,610
Amelia! Honey, wait!
1135
01:10:17,948 --> 01:10:21,783
Excuse me.
1136
01:10:27,624 --> 01:10:30,458
Sorry.
1137
01:10:53,116 --> 01:10:56,284
What are you doing?
1138
01:10:56,353 --> 01:11:00,321
This is why I do Turks and
Caicos alone every Christmas
1139
01:11:00,357 --> 01:11:03,024
instead of spending it with
family. I'll never be able
1140
01:11:03,059 --> 01:11:05,360
to fix this.
Look, you're upset,
1141
01:11:05,428 --> 01:11:07,862
I understand, but you don't have
1142
01:11:07,897 --> 01:11:10,465
to leave.
1143
01:11:10,500 --> 01:11:12,934
You can stay at my sister's
tonight. Let everyone cool off.
1144
01:11:12,969 --> 01:11:15,703
You don't get it.
You don't know them like I do.
1145
01:11:15,739 --> 01:11:19,073
- It won't work.
- I'm just trying to help.
1146
01:11:19,109 --> 01:11:21,342
I don't want your help.
I'm sorry.
1147
01:11:21,378 --> 01:11:23,611
The Amelia I know wouldn't
walk away from her family
1148
01:11:23,647 --> 01:11:26,347
when they need her most.
Please don't go.
1149
01:11:41,665 --> 01:11:44,699
You guys are leaving?
1150
01:11:44,734 --> 01:11:46,768
I think it's best.
1151
01:11:46,803 --> 01:11:49,437
Harry, have you seen Amelia?
She won't answer our calls.
1152
01:11:49,506 --> 01:11:52,106
I think she was sleeping
this morning when I left.
1153
01:11:52,142 --> 01:11:54,542
- Maybe she went into town?
- Well, now I'm worried.
1154
01:11:54,577 --> 01:11:57,111
- I'm sure she's fine, Helena.
- I'm going to ask Nathan
1155
01:11:57,147 --> 01:12:01,382
if he's seen or heard from her.
1156
01:12:04,587 --> 01:12:07,121
You've been running this
all yourself?
1157
01:12:07,190 --> 01:12:10,625
Yes, apart from Nathan.
1158
01:12:10,660 --> 01:12:12,994
Who's your accountant?
1159
01:12:13,029 --> 01:12:16,130
I am. I had to learn.
1160
01:12:16,166 --> 01:12:20,034
- You did a great job, Harry.
- I suppose
1161
01:12:20,070 --> 01:12:22,737
you're gonna point out all the
ways in which I failed, yeah?
1162
01:12:22,772 --> 01:12:26,607
I'm serious. Mom and
Dad would be proud.
1163
01:12:26,643 --> 01:12:28,743
This is exactly
what they wanted.
1164
01:12:28,778 --> 01:12:31,579
Thanks. That means
a lot coming from you.
1165
01:12:31,648 --> 01:12:34,582
I lost my job
1166
01:12:34,617 --> 01:12:36,551
in San Francisco,
1167
01:12:36,586 --> 01:12:40,288
which is why we moved to
Chicago. I gave them everything
1168
01:12:40,323 --> 01:12:42,990
and they replaced me with a kid
fresh out of college.
1169
01:12:43,026 --> 01:12:45,360
Danny, why didn't you
say anything?
1170
01:12:45,428 --> 01:12:47,695
I was embarrassed, after
all we've been through...
1171
01:12:47,731 --> 01:12:50,965
I tried to do right by my family
and now I'm jobless.
1172
01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:55,069
Nathan said that Amelia's car
is gone. She left last night.
1173
01:13:04,781 --> 01:13:07,181
Hey. Can I get you
another coffee?
1174
01:13:07,217 --> 01:13:09,917
I'm good. Hey, thank you for
letting me stay at your place
1175
01:13:09,953 --> 01:13:13,020
last night. I just...
I needed some space.
1176
01:13:17,394 --> 01:13:21,262
Loving the Hughes family
isn't always easy,
1177
01:13:21,297 --> 01:13:24,565
but over the years, I've learned
1178
01:13:24,634 --> 01:13:28,069
that if you give them time,
eventually they come around.
1179
01:13:28,104 --> 01:13:30,304
I hope so.
1180
01:13:30,340 --> 01:13:33,307
My friend Judy
1181
01:13:33,376 --> 01:13:35,376
took these at the Tree Lighting.
1182
01:13:35,412 --> 01:13:37,445
- Might cheer you up.
- Thanks, Pamela.
1183
01:13:37,480 --> 01:13:39,213
Of course.
1184
01:14:11,347 --> 01:14:15,116
Amelia?
1185
01:14:15,185 --> 01:14:17,685
- Well, this is a surprise.
- Hi, Bill.
1186
01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:19,887
I'm so sorry to bother you
on Christmas Eve.
1187
01:14:19,923 --> 01:14:22,256
I just had a new take on the
Christmas app that I wanted
1188
01:14:22,325 --> 01:14:24,325
- to share with you right away.
- Okay.
1189
01:14:24,360 --> 01:14:27,061
- Well, I'm listening.
- I'm thinking the app will be
1190
01:14:27,096 --> 01:14:29,697
a charity focused on bringing
people together, so that no one
1191
01:14:29,766 --> 01:14:33,234
has to celebrate Christmas
alone. It's about the gift
1192
01:14:33,269 --> 01:14:36,737
that matters most: Being present
rather than giving presents.
1193
01:14:36,773 --> 01:14:39,006
I like the sound
of that. I think
1194
01:14:39,042 --> 01:14:42,643
it's exactly what we're looking
for. After the holidays,
1195
01:14:42,679 --> 01:14:45,413
let's sit down
and talk specifics.
1196
01:14:45,482 --> 01:14:49,150
- I would love that. Thank you.
- Thank you.
1197
01:14:49,219 --> 01:14:51,853
- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas!
1198
01:14:56,526 --> 01:15:00,561
- You heading out?
- Yeah, I'm ready. What's this?
1199
01:15:00,597 --> 01:15:03,064
I just got this
from the Fly By Santa run.
1200
01:15:03,099 --> 01:15:05,244
Maybe you wouldn't mind
delivering these to Mike for me?
1201
01:15:05,268 --> 01:15:08,002
Mike? Umm...
1202
01:15:08,037 --> 01:15:11,105
Amelia... don't shut him out.
1203
01:15:11,140 --> 01:15:14,475
Don't walk away from him like
I did Harry. You'll regret it,
1204
01:15:14,511 --> 01:15:16,711
- trust me.
- You're right.
1205
01:15:16,746 --> 01:15:19,247
Thank you, Pamela.
1206
01:15:21,284 --> 01:15:24,118
Mom? I'm okay.
1207
01:15:24,153 --> 01:15:26,420
Can you all meet me in the cabin
in thirty minutes?
1208
01:15:30,460 --> 01:15:33,528
- Amelia?
- I'm in here.
1209
01:15:33,563 --> 01:15:37,665
- Honey, you're here.
- We were so worried!
1210
01:15:37,734 --> 01:15:40,968
I know. I'm sorry.
1211
01:15:41,004 --> 01:15:43,304
Wanna have a seat?
1212
01:15:45,608 --> 01:15:48,009
The cabin looks almost the same.
1213
01:15:48,044 --> 01:15:50,411
Didn't really have
a reason to change it.
1214
01:15:50,446 --> 01:15:52,547
Harry puts up stockings
for all the guests
1215
01:15:52,582 --> 01:15:54,482
who stay at the inn
over Christmas
1216
01:15:54,517 --> 01:15:57,118
because they have become
like family to him.
1217
01:15:57,186 --> 01:16:00,021
I thought it was important to do
it for those who are my family.
1218
01:16:00,089 --> 01:16:02,189
Since I've been here,
1219
01:16:02,225 --> 01:16:05,126
I've seen townspeople treat
neighbors like family
1220
01:16:05,161 --> 01:16:07,929
and I was reminded what the
spirit of Christmas is about.
1221
01:16:07,964 --> 01:16:10,364
It has nothing to do with gifts,
1222
01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:14,068
and everything to do with who
we spend our time with.
1223
01:16:14,103 --> 01:16:17,438
There are people who have lost
their family and would do
1224
01:16:17,473 --> 01:16:20,508
anything to spend time with them
again and here we are, a family,
1225
01:16:20,543 --> 01:16:23,778
and we've turned on each other
when we needed one another most.
1226
01:16:26,749 --> 01:16:29,650
Dad, you chose to leave
1227
01:16:29,686 --> 01:16:32,053
because you thought it was
the best thing for your family.
1228
01:16:32,088 --> 01:16:34,689
And Uncle Harry,
you took on the inn
1229
01:16:34,724 --> 01:16:37,158
and saved it from closure
without anyone else's help.
1230
01:16:37,193 --> 01:16:39,493
You both had
the best intentions.
1231
01:16:39,529 --> 01:16:42,129
You both sacrificed
a part of your lives
1232
01:16:42,165 --> 01:16:44,376
for something bigger than
yourselves. You're more the same
1233
01:16:44,400 --> 01:16:47,301
than you are different.
1234
01:16:47,337 --> 01:16:49,937
So why are you too stubborn
to see that?
1235
01:16:50,006 --> 01:16:52,807
It makes me so sad.
1236
01:16:52,842 --> 01:16:55,743
Love and family are truly
the most important things
1237
01:16:55,778 --> 01:16:57,678
in the world.
1238
01:16:57,714 --> 01:17:00,815
That's what Christmas Creek
and this inn is all about.
1239
01:17:00,850 --> 01:17:03,451
If we don't have each other,
1240
01:17:03,486 --> 01:17:05,653
then what do we have?
1241
01:17:12,395 --> 01:17:15,396
At last!
1242
01:17:19,102 --> 01:17:22,269
Thank you, honey,
for coming back
1243
01:17:22,305 --> 01:17:24,305
to the inn and bringing us
back together.
1244
01:17:24,374 --> 01:17:27,775
- I'm so glad that you came.
- I'm sorry for keeping you
1245
01:17:27,810 --> 01:17:30,678
from your uncle and
from Christmas Creek.
1246
01:17:30,713 --> 01:17:33,781
I know a lot of this
was my fault.
1247
01:17:33,816 --> 01:17:37,351
Yeah, kinda, but it was
also my fault, too.
1248
01:17:37,387 --> 01:17:39,687
You know, I managed
this place without you,
1249
01:17:39,756 --> 01:17:43,791
and it wasn't easy and it wasn't
always fun. There happens to be
1250
01:17:43,826 --> 01:17:47,294
a job opening that's
presented itself. CFO.
1251
01:17:47,363 --> 01:17:50,331
If you want your old job back,
we can run this inn
1252
01:17:50,366 --> 01:17:53,134
the way Mom and Dad
intended, as a family.
1253
01:17:53,202 --> 01:17:57,304
That is, if you're
looking for work.
1254
01:17:57,340 --> 01:18:00,174
I've never wanted anything more.
1255
01:18:00,209 --> 01:18:01,942
But you know,
1256
01:18:01,978 --> 01:18:04,979
I do have a few ideas on how
we could streamline things.
1257
01:18:05,014 --> 01:18:08,182
OK, feel free to leave them in
the suggestion box in the lobby.
1258
01:18:11,120 --> 01:18:14,355
You know what? If you
don't mind, there is someplace
1259
01:18:14,424 --> 01:18:17,525
that I really need to be.
1260
01:18:17,560 --> 01:18:19,694
You know, before you go,
1261
01:18:19,729 --> 01:18:22,630
I've got a little
proposition for you.
1262
01:18:25,802 --> 01:18:29,704
Merry Christmas.
Thank you. Thank you.
1263
01:18:29,739 --> 01:18:32,506
Baseball bat! Thank you.
1264
01:18:32,575 --> 01:18:35,843
Merry Christmas.
Thank you.
1265
01:18:35,878 --> 01:18:39,046
Meels?
1266
01:18:39,082 --> 01:18:41,315
- You're here...
- Pamela asked me
1267
01:18:41,350 --> 01:18:44,118
to give this to you.
1268
01:18:44,153 --> 01:18:46,887
Mike,
1269
01:18:46,923 --> 01:18:49,790
I'm so sorry.
I never left.
1270
01:18:49,826 --> 01:18:52,993
I couldn't, because you're
right. It's not who I am.
1271
01:18:53,029 --> 01:18:56,430
All that matters to me
are the people I love.
1272
01:18:56,466 --> 01:18:59,033
My family is going to be okay.
1273
01:18:59,068 --> 01:19:01,836
And the only person that
I wanted to tell was you.
1274
01:19:01,904 --> 01:19:04,705
Mike, you always were
1275
01:19:04,741 --> 01:19:07,108
my best friend,
the person who had my back,
1276
01:19:07,143 --> 01:19:10,444
but now you are
so much more than that.
1277
01:19:10,480 --> 01:19:14,648
You are the brightest light
I know. I can't lose you again.
1278
01:19:14,717 --> 01:19:18,919
I love you, Mike Ruggles.
1279
01:19:30,099 --> 01:19:31,665
That was...
1280
01:19:31,734 --> 01:19:34,335
- A lot, I know.
- Amazing.
1281
01:19:34,370 --> 01:19:37,505
I've been waiting
17 years to do that.
1282
01:19:37,540 --> 01:19:39,373
So have I.
1283
01:19:39,408 --> 01:19:42,443
I love you, Meels.
1284
01:19:42,478 --> 01:19:44,845
I always have.
1285
01:19:47,650 --> 01:19:51,886
- That is a lot of presents.
- Yeah.
1286
01:19:51,921 --> 01:19:56,624
I hope Harry's okay with an
extra-large delivery tonight.
1287
01:19:56,659 --> 01:19:58,826
Actually, Harry wanted
to take the night off,
1288
01:19:58,861 --> 01:20:00,761
so I said that we would
do Fly By Santa.
1289
01:20:00,797 --> 01:20:03,864
What do you think?
1290
01:20:03,900 --> 01:20:06,834
I think that would be awesome.
Come on, help me pack it up.
1291
01:20:06,869 --> 01:20:08,068
Okay.
1292
01:20:08,104 --> 01:20:11,672
Oh boy, this feels
like Christmas.
1293
01:20:14,577 --> 01:20:18,412
- Dad? He's here. Mom, look!
- Hey!
1294
01:20:18,447 --> 01:20:21,615
- Scout!
- I can't believe you're here!
1295
01:20:21,651 --> 01:20:24,552
I can't believe you're home!
1296
01:20:24,587 --> 01:20:26,487
I thought you weren't
gonna make it.
1297
01:20:26,522 --> 01:20:28,923
- Why didn't you tell me?
- I wanted to surprise you.
1298
01:20:31,994 --> 01:20:33,894
I love you so much.
1299
01:20:33,930 --> 01:20:36,263
How many deliveries do we make?
1300
01:20:36,299 --> 01:20:38,365
Just the two neighboring towns.
1301
01:20:38,401 --> 01:20:41,135
They only have access by plane.
1302
01:20:43,072 --> 01:20:46,774
So, you ready, Mrs. Claus?
1303
01:20:46,809 --> 01:20:50,044
Not yet.
1304
01:20:50,079 --> 01:20:52,580
Merry Christmas, Mike.
1305
01:20:52,615 --> 01:20:55,583
All this time and...
not much has changed.
1306
01:20:55,651 --> 01:20:59,486
Yet everything has.
1307
01:21:02,658 --> 01:21:05,092
It's perfect.
1308
01:21:05,127 --> 01:21:08,696
Thank you. My turn.
1309
01:21:12,435 --> 01:21:17,571
I've been holding onto this
for a long time.
1310
01:21:17,607 --> 01:21:20,641
You left before I could
give it to you that night.
1311
01:21:28,050 --> 01:21:31,051
- A Christmas Angel!
- You'll always be my Angel.
1312
01:21:31,087 --> 01:21:33,754
I love it, Mike.
Thank you.
1313
01:21:35,358 --> 01:21:38,425
You know, we'll see each
other, we'll figure it out.
1314
01:21:38,461 --> 01:21:42,897
You can fly to me
and I'll fly to you...
1315
01:21:49,305 --> 01:21:52,106
I'm not worried.
1316
01:21:52,141 --> 01:21:55,342
We found each other again,
and I'm not letting you go.
1317
01:22:01,317 --> 01:22:05,252
- Remember how to fly this thing?
- Yes.
1318
01:22:05,288 --> 01:22:09,790
- Uncle Harry already took me up.
- Oh, he did?
1319
01:22:09,825 --> 01:22:11,992
Well, come on, then.
1320
01:22:14,730 --> 01:22:16,997
Watch your step. There you go.
1321
01:22:18,701 --> 01:22:21,402
Now,
1322
01:22:21,437 --> 01:22:24,838
- are you ready, Mrs. Claus?
- With you, Ruggles... always.
