Christmas,
what a wonderful time of year.

The weather may be frightful,

but there is a magic
that surrounds us all.

During this festive time,
I find that folk are merry,

evenings are, oh, so cozy,

and the twinkle of Kris Kringle

shines through
the darkest of nights.

It isn't just the robins
that thrive in this period.

You can hear the chirping
of love, both new and old,

singing through
the neighborhood.

Well, most people, that is.

Sometimes I feel like I was
just never destined for love,

but who knows.

Maybe this year
will be different.

Well, thank you,
Caller 52.

Um, a little dark
at the end there,

but I think we can all relate
to a bit of that lovely poem.

Next up on Smudge FM
is Christmas number one,

my favorite gift.

["Favourite Thing
This Christmas"

by Friends Like These playing]

It is that time
of year again.

It really is.

Hop-op-op-op-op.
Relax, I've got you.

You're okay.

Hop-op-op-op-op. Okay.

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

Let's see.

Okay.

All right, Mrs. Eggadactyl.

You ready for a little check-up?

Okay.

Okay.
Let's move you a little bit.

Just a little turn. There we go.

There. There. Good.

Very good, Mrs. Eggadactyl.

Now I'll just hold you.
I've got you. Come on.

You're more than okay.
You're okay.

You're okay, Mrs. Eggadactyl.

There we go.
Nice and easy. Okay.

Now, let's start with
a little check-up of your feet.

Ready? Are you ready?

Are you ready? There we go.

Three, two, one, and up.

Lovely.

Looking good. Okay.

Now, I'm going
to put you back down.

You're okay. You ready?

Three, two, one, go.

Mrs. Eggadactyl.

You're-- Hop-op-op.

You're okay. You're okay.

- Hey.
- Hey.

-There you go.
-Thank you.

-In the spirit of the season.
-Oh.

Great.

Now you're looking
handsome and seasonal.

You all right, bud?

Eggie's all good.

Though I still think naming her
after a flying dinosaur

is a little unfair.

Do we have any more red tinsel?

Uh...

no.

Good to see you
getting into the season, bud,

but, um, you don't have
to put tinsel on everything.

Yes, I do.

Mum said that since
we don't get much snow up here,

we have to make up for it
and put tinsel everywhere.

Yeah.

Well, she did always know best,

so I guess, uh,
we'd better get a move on,

if we're going to put
tinsel everywhere.

Come on.

-Ready?
-Yes.

Can he do it? Come on.

Come on.

You're so strong, big guy.

I know you're strong, but...

how fast are you?

Race to the house.

Nice arm, Briceratops.

Why, thank you, Martinsel.

Here you go.
Some piping hot chocolate.

Aw.

Oh.

Ah. Very nice fit.

I forgot
your gingerbread.

Oh. Is this the donkey's?

Does it matter?

Yeah.

Oh, wow. Wow.

Here's your gingerbread.

I think in here's
looking pretty good.

Yep.

Time to do the same
to the kitchen.

Oh, boy.

Gravy.

Always gravy.

What-- what are you making?

Angel.

Ah, looking good, Bri.

Thanks.
Needs more eyes, though.

Ah.

It's good to see that
you're getting into the season,

but let's try and make Christmas
more merry than scary.

-Okay, bud?
-Yes.

We're closed. Sorry.

We're closed.
The hours are on the sign.

- She's dying.
- What? Who?

-She's dying.
-Who?

What...

It's Mrs. Lay.

Uh, nice to meet you,
Mrs. Lay.

I'm Martin Greene. Um--

Oh. Oh, no, no.

I'm-- it's-- it's-- I'm Robin.

Um, this is Mrs. Lay.

Uh--

Sorry for barging in
on you like this.

Um, it's just--

it's an emergency.

It's Milky Lay. I...

W-- we're closed.

You-- you're going to have
to come back tomorrow.

Please.

No, we-- we've tried everywhere.

And-- and look
how worried she is.

I...

Please.

The galaxy needs you.

All right then.
Let's have a look at you, then.

Oh. Let's see you.

Oh, okay. Okay.

Think she will be okay for now,

so please,

can you come back
tomorrow at 8:00 a.m.

when we're open?

Uh...

Dad, it's Christmas.

Um--

Robin, was it?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Um, Brian,

uh, why don't you...

seat our guests?

Do you like hot chocolate?

Uh, oh, um...

Um--

Sorry. Um--

I need my, uh, energy

if I'm going to do
a good job on Mrs. Lay.

Yeah.

Okay. Yeah. Okay.

Okay. All right. Let's just
have a look at you.

Mrs.-- Mrs. Lay.

Okay. That looks okay.

Okay. Let's see.
We'll see.

Amy.

It's good.
Needs more eyes, though.

Hmm. Yeah.

How is she?

She's going to be fine.

I gave her an antiparasitic.

Um, she'll be all right
as rain in the morning.

But I'd like to keep her
a couple of days

just to, uh, be extra safe.

Of course, yeah.

Thank you, Martin.

Yeah.

Um, did you get
your coop second hand?

Um, well,

yeah.

Yeah, um, I'd throw that out
if I was you.

That's how this usually happens.

Um, but luckily, I have the pots

for, um, a--
a new one you can have.

No, no, no. No, it's fine.
I don't need you--

uh-- you don't need
to do that at all.

I can-- I don't mean
you don't need to do that.

-I can--
-No, I insist. Really.

Uh, it'll keep you
out of my hair.

Uh, not that I want you

out of my hair.

Or in fact,

even have hair
for you to be out of.

Why am I talking about my hair?

I think--
I think I got what you meant.

It's-- it's fine.

Thank you.

Is she alive? Did you eat her?

Uh, yes.

Uh...

Uh, no-- I--
no, I mean, um-- I mean,

she's going to be
absolutely fine.

Mrs. Lay is going to be
absolutely fine.

I was just saying
to your, uh, mum

that, uh, I'm going to keep her
for a couple of days

just so that
she doesn't get poorly again.

Thank you
for saving her, Martin.

Thank you. Thank you.

Dad, can Amy stay
to decorate the animals?

I am a bit of a visionary.

It's a little bit late.

Um, why doesn't Amy
come back tomorrow?

Oh, no. I don't know.

Um, I'm sure Martin
is busier than he lets off.

It's no problem, honestly.

Yeah, Mum. I'm a delight.

You don't have
to do this, you know.

I do.

Um...

here's my business card.

Give me a call
when you're on your way

and I'll, uh, warn the animals.

Did your, um, printer
run out of ink, or...

Uh, I-- I couldn't find
the right design.

-Yeah. Uh...
-Oh.

- Okay.
- I'll phone, okay?

Um, yeah.

Did you-- listen, um...

- Yeah. Um, yeah. Thank you.
- Thank you.

And, um, thank you again
so much, Martin.

Come on, Mum.

Okay, okay.

All right.

Lovely to meet you, Brian.

Bye, Robin. Bye, Amy.
See you tomorrow.

There you go.

So, you and Amy
seemed to hit it off.

She's great.
I'm happy to come back tomorrow.

Oh, yeah? Why's that?

Well, she's new in town
and hasn't got any friends yet.

Everyone needs a friend.

That they do.

My Briceratops.

I'm proud of you.

Thanks, Dad.
I'm proud of you, too.

Good night.

["Favourite Thing
This Christmas"

by Friends Like These
playing loudly]

Morning, sleepyhead.

- Come dance with me.
- Uh, coffee.

You know,
I heard it's addictive.

Where are you getting
that information from?

Yes!

-Well done!
-I know.

Is that boy from school
still being a diva?

Who, Tim?

He just doesn't know talent
when he sees it.

I know he'll come around

when he gets
my standing ovation.

How could he not?

Are you working today?

Yes, I have a drawing to finish,

but I'll be done by noon,

so I'll have
plenty of time to spend

with my favorite
little reindeer.

Rudolph?

No, Amy.

Don't tell me your favorite
is something stupid like Vixen.

Vixen?

What do you take me for?

You know, Mum, for a person
who draws animals for a living,

you're not very up to date
with your reindeers.

I will catch up
on my research immediately.

So,

what does my second
favorite reindeer

want to do today?

Dasher?

Am I the only one
who sees the antlers?

Oh, come on, there must be
something you want to do today.

Aren't we going to see
Brian's animals?

-Oh, I don't know.
-Why?

I don't think Martin
actually wants us to come.

But he said.

I know, but...

sometimes adults say things

that they don't mean
to be polite.

So he's a liar?

Well, no, not exactly.

Great.

Best tell him
we'll be there after lunch.

You don't want Brian decorating
without my expertise.

I guess not.

Love you, Mum.

Okay. Hi, Martin.

Hi, Martin.

Hi, Martin.

Yeah, just hi. Hi. All right.

Hi.

Hello,
this is the Greenefield's.

How can I help?

Hi, Martin. Uh, how are you?

Uh, well--
Uh, I'm sorry, who is this?

Um, it's Robin,
um, from yesterday.

Uh, sorry, if-- if you're busy,

I can call back another day or--

Oh, Robin!

Uh--
It's good to hear from you.

It is?

No, I mean, um,
I mean, yeah, you too.

You too.

Uh, let me guess,

Amy is pretty keen
to see the animals?

Yeah, yeah, she's, um--

she's-- she's quite,
um, persistent.

Um, is it-- is it okay

if, uh, I pop-- I pop over,

say, one?

Yeah, that sounds great.

Great! Okay.

Thank you.

Oh, I'm sorry, um,

there's someone
on the other line.

-I'll see you later?
-Oh, yeah, yeah.

Um, okay, yeah,
I'll-- I'll see--

um, I'll see you later.

All right. Bye.

Bye. Bye.

Mum, we're stopped.
You can let go of the wheel now.

Oh, yeah.

-Sorry. Um, shall we go?
-Yeah. Yeah.

Mum, you haven't moved.
Is this anxiety?

Wait, where did you learn that?

I was looking on YouTube
for asteroid ,

but got it wrong and watched
some really scary videos.

I am not an attentive mother.

So are you coming
or are you anxietied?

I'm coming.
Okay? I'm coming.

You say that.

Mum, we've been out here
for, like, seven hours.

You're not nervous, are you?

They're nice friends, Mum.
Now, please, come on.

Oh, that was quick.

You were outside
for, like, seven hours.

-It was pretty weird.
-Brian.

Not bad weird. Nice weird.

Amy, want to
come see the animals?

That's why I'm here.

Mum, look, it's Mrs. Lay.

She's up and talking
and making new friends.

Oh, wow! Look at her go!

Didn't Martin and Brian
do a great job?

Yeah, she's so much better.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

You're very welcome, Amy.

And anytime
she's under the weather,

you can always
bring her back to us, right?

We'll bring her here
all the time.

Yeah, she can get
to know Eggadactyl.

Hmm.

Fan of dinosaurs,
are you, Brian?

I don't get it.

Eggadactyl, like pterodactyl,
you know?

The giant flying dinosaur.

But, um, chickens
are flightless, right?

Okay.

Um, well, Brian,
Amy is pretty into space.

Isn't space
just another word for nothing?

You're in space right now.

Were dinosaurs in space?

Space dinosaurs!

I think we might be
at this a while, so--

-Yeah.
-Hmm.

Um, uno momento,
s'il vous pla�t.

So, uh, while you guys
thrash this out,

uh, Robin and I
are going to get a drink.

Is that okay?

Yes, of course,
but now is not the time, okay?

Yes, Mr. Martin, sir.

Now is not the time.

As expected.

Um, give me a shout
if you need anything, okay?

I've spoken
to the people in charge

and, uh, we're good to go.

They aren't going
to murder each other, are they?

Nah.

No.

-No.
-Hm.

Gotta get
the kettle...

So, how do you take your, uh...

...uh, coffee?

Um, Americano.

Oh. Uh, very adventurous.

Sorry, can you handle
making a drink that isn't tea?

Touch�.

Uh, can I get you any snacks?

Coffee and snacks?

What did I do
to deserve this treatment?

I'm very, very keen

to show off
my terrible cooking skills.

Sorry, so...
a stay-at-home dad

who doesn't cook?

Yeah.

Lucky Mrs. Greene.

Uh, um...

Actually, uh, Mrs. Greene,

uh, Tanya, um...

passed away.

I am so sorry.

I just-- I know,
I saw the-- the ring and I...

I'm sorry
for your loss. That's--

Uh, thank you.

Um, we-- uh, we lost her,

um, over five years ago now.

Uh, yeah, but, uh,

completely innocent mistake

and, uh, yeah, nothing--
nothing to worry about.

Um, tell me about your, uh...

Oh, the-- uh, yeah, I--

well, I had a-- um,

but that ended, like,
a while back, so, yeah.

Oh.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

Mm. Uh-huh.

Uh, I...

guess that makes us evens.

Yeah.

I wonder if the conversation is
flowing as well out there, or--

Uh...

Aurora Bolealis.

Aurora Borealis.

Audible Boreas?

Aurora Borealis.

Also or?

Aurora.

Aurora.

Yeah, Aurora Borealis.

That's a made-up name.

All names are made up.

Whoa.

She'd never admit it,
but, um, she's very grateful.

Mm, Amy?

She thanked me,
like, 50 times outside.

-Yeah, for Mrs. Lay.
-Hmm.

I'm talking about for being
a friend to her so quickly.

We've been here
for, like, a month now, and...

Does Amy struggle,
or have trouble to make friends?

Oh, no, no,
not-- not struggle per se.

No, just, um,
some kids can find her

to be a little bit,
uh, like, loud.

But she has her drama club.

But I think they're having
some, um, creative differences.

Well, Brian's taken to her
like a house on fire.

It's nice to, you know,

as affectionate
about animals as he is.

Yeah. They're a good pair.
Right? Uh...

They are.

Uh, speaking of which,

we probably should,
uh, get out there, right?

Uh, yeah.
We-- we probably should.

So can you see them yet?

Oh, yes, sweetie.

Okay. 'Kay?

And...

What am I looking--

Oh.

Oh, my--
This is incredible, Martin.

Amy's never been so close
to a reindeer before.

They're quite
something, aren't they?

Yeah.

Santa and his elves stopped by

to drop them off

just before the big day.

They are Santa's reindeers?

They sure are.

Whoa.

Uh, this reminds me
of your play.

-Play?
-Yeah.

It's the story of Christmas,
like in the Bible.

Oh, wow. Sounds serious.

-Who are you playing?
-Rudolph.

Oh.

Can we go, Dad?

Uh...

-Yeah.
-Sure. Uh, why not?

I mean, um, we could use
some culture around here, right?

So, how long
do you have them for?

Like, I would love
some up-close research

on the current project
I'm working on.

Yeah, unfortunately,
tonight is the last night.

Santa comes
to collect these in the morning.

That's a shame.

Why don't you guys
hang around for a bit?

I mean, I'm sure
Amy would appreciate it, right?

I'm gonna need a few hours.

She's gonna need a few hours.

Are you sure? No, no, no.

I really--
no, I really feel like

you have done enough
at this point.

Seriously.

Um, mi casa e...

you casa.

Anyway, um, I'm gonna go
into town to get some bits.

I'll stop off
and get us some food.

Sounds great. I like meatloaf.

Amy!

No, honestly, it's-- it's fine.
I insist.

No, you really don't have
to do that, Martin.

-It, you know--
-It's fine.

Whilst I'm away,

B-Ri
will take care of you guys.

-Right, B-Ri?
-You got it.

Has anyone ever told you

you're too nice
for your own good?

All the time.

Look after them, B-Ri.

Hello?

Uh, uh, meatbread.

What?

Meatbread. Meatbread.

Sorry, who is this?

Oh, uh, it's Martin.

Oh. Hi, Martin.

Sorry, what did you say?

I've gone to every baker
in town,

and nowhere seems
to sell meatbread.

Sorry, meatbread?

Meatbread. Amy's favorite.

Oh, okay.

Okay, uh...

Insider secret.

If you whisper in the guy's ear

and ask for meatcake,

he saves it
for special customers.

Okay, well-- well,
I'm putting you on now.

On speaker. One second.

- Gar�on?
-Martin, no, no, no.

Don't do that. I'm only joking.

Wait, were you going to--
were you going to ask him?

Well, yeah.

You're-- uh,
you're surprisingly convincing.

Um, you don't think, um--

you don't think
Amy would just, you know, be--

be, uh, okay

with-- with pizza.

Do you?

Uh, yes, she loves pizza, yeah.

Okay, that's good.

I can, uh--
I can get us some pizza

because everything
is going, uh, perfectly well.

So, uh, yeah,
I guess I'll, um, see you soon.

Yeah, see you soon.

That you will. Bye.

What are you so happy about?

I am just happy
to see the reindeer.

-Me too.
-Me three.

Oh, my God.

You guys had enough
of the reindeer?

Oh, we just came in.

Somebody says it's too snowy
just to sit outside.

Did you get what you needed?

Yes, I did. Thank you.

-You want to see?
-Of course.

Hm.

It's beautiful.

Thank you.

Don't worry about us kids

starving over here.

Uh, right, of course. Um...

you guys go and play,
and I'll get started on dinner.

Wah!

What, no chef hats?

I left it at the bistro.

I mean, that's a shame.

I was really hoping
for the full experience, so...

Uh, yeah.

That's...

Yeah.

Uh, sorry,
am I keeping you from something?

Oh, no, no, no, no.
It-- it's fine.

No-- Um, that's, uh...

that's Amy's dad trying to--
trying to contact her.

And I'm guessing

Amy's not too keen.

Uh, not at all. No.

I mean, like,
he was barely at home,

and when he was, he was, uh...

loud.

When, uh, me and my sister

met our biological parents...

our dad was, uh...

an interesting man.

He had had a very hard life
and, uh...

I suppose...

once I grew up, I understood,

but him and my sister,

they never really saw
eye to eye.

And would she--
did she get over it eventually?

In her own way, yeah.

I mean--

I don't know if Steven
deserves a second chance,

but, um,

but it's really
important for Amy

to have a relationship
with her father

and I just feel like
if I don't do it now,

then it's just going to be
late-- too late forever.

You know?

It must be difficult.

Hmm. Yeah.

Sometimes I feel like
I'm drowning in an ocean.

No lifejacket.

Well, if you ever need a buoy...

I am not normally like this,
I promise.

I hope that's not true.

Oh, shoot.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Oh.

Um...

That looks delicious.

-Smells great.
-Smells burnt.

You get used to it.

I couldn't have pizza with you.

- Oh, no.
- No.

- Ay, hey!
- Oh, no!

Gladiator, did I not eat him?

Oh, it's that dino.

Yes, I know who ate him.

That's me.

To pass myself around.

It's a good looking
human finger.

Thank you, thank you.

Dad, can we watch
a Christmas film?

- Uh, it's pretty late.
- Please, Dad.

I really want to show Amy
A Miracle on Victoria Close.

Robin's got to drive home, so--

Please, I've never wanted
anything more.

Never wanted anything more?

Please, Dad, please!

If it's what you really want--

-Please.
-Please.

We're not gonna
make it off the ground

because of a little
bit of snow?

We're not even
supposed to be here.

Sir, calm down.

Don't tell me to calm down.

I've got a little girl
halfway across the world,

and all she wants for Christmas
is to see her old man.

I mean, for crying out loud,

can't a guy catch a break
for once in his busy life?

He usually makes it
past the opening theme song.

I wish I could say
the same thing about Amy.

Okay, so now
they're both asleep...

I can finally ask.

Uh, ask what?

Do you drink gravy?

Sorry, what?

Do you and Brian drink gravy?

Uh, um,

I feel like
an outright no would be a lie,

but I can say

I've never willingly
drunk gravy.

-That's good to know.
-Hmm.

So what,
is it like a prank or something?

I don't know. You tell me.

You don't know what it is?

I have no idea.

I don't know
why it keeps happening.

Come on. Really?

I don't know why he does it.

I mean, he's a smart kid,
he can read.

This just shouldn't
keep happening.

But the first time he did it,

he was so happy with himself
that he had made me coffee.

I didn't have the heart
to correct him.

And then it happened again,
and again,

and again, and again.

I get that.

That's really sweet,

he's looking out
for you like that.

Yeah.

Yeah, he's been great.

Especially now it's just
the two of us on the farm.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, it's, uh...

Adopting him
was the best decision

me and Tanya
ever made.

We got so excited, we, uh...

made plans,
we bought a bunk bed.

But, um...

yeah, things don't
necessarily go to plan.

I can't even imagine.

But, um,

Christmas is the hardest time.

Yeah.

But it does get easier.

Not that
I'm in the same situation

with you at all, I'm just...

No, I-- I get it.

I get it.

It's tough no matter
the circumstances, right?

Mm.

Is, um...

is this your first Christmas,
just the two of you?

Third. Third.

But, um,

yeah, it's got easier.

I definitely feel
a lot more, um,

like, prepared.

-That's a relief.
-Yeah.

Sometimes I don't know

how I've managed
to make it this far.

Well, it looks like

you're doing
a pretty good job to me.

Well, pretty easy
to do with him at the helm.

And no offense,

but kinda feels like

Amy's running the show
over there, too, so...

No, you're totally right.

I honestly don't know where
she gets her confidence from.

Like, certainly not me.

Like, she says, "Jump,"
I say, "How high?"

So...

Yeah?

So it was, uh, her idea

to break in here after hours.

Okay, no. That was my idea.

But that was the most worried
I'd ever seen Amy.

And, you know,
I couldn't let her down

this close to Christmas.

So, you know,

I wasn't taking no
for an answer.

Uh, no, I got that
all right. Don't worry.

Yeah.

But anyway,

I better get this one home
before she gets too comfy.

Uh, yeah.

She looks really cute now,

but wait until she gets
out there for an hour.

Yeah.

She's a challenge.

But...

thank you
for everything, Martin.

But this has been
one of the best days

we've had in a long time.

Yeah.

And, um,

Amy's finally made a friend,
which she, uh...

which she really needed.

Brian, too.

Okay.

Uh, let me help you
out to the car.

Oh, no, it's okay.
Amy falls asleep all the time.

I'm used to this, so.

-Okay.
-Okay.

Okay, come on.

Bye, Brian.

Thank you, Martin.

Brian?

Okay... Brian?

Oh...

Brian?

More tinsel.

There you go, lads.

And ladies, of course.

Let's not forget the ladies.

And itty-bitty,
bitty little ones.

Don't worry,
you'll get your turn.

For you, sir.

Some for you, sir.

Per chance, an appetizer?

Oh.

Mm.

-You ready for the big day?
-I was born ready.

That you were.

Okay, come on, Rudolph.

Come for your feed.

Mm. Mm-hmm.

No! Please don't.

Are you sure
you just don't want to say hi?

Okay, sweetie.

I won't force you to do anything
you don't want to do.

Good.

Eat up.

Hi, Dad.

Hi, Briceratops.

-How was school?
-Great.

I've been excited
for the play all day.

Oh. Good.

Dad, what have you done?

Oh, no.

I didn't think
this through, did I?

Why did you
leave me unsupervised?

You know what?

I think it's great.

She loves the theater.

Reckon we can bring her in?

Don't think we can, mate.

We didn't get her
a ticket, did we?

Shut up, Dad.

It'll be fine.

No.

No, we cannot take a hen

into a children's play.

Okay, Bri, the--

I'll sort this out.

Okay.

Good evening...

um...

Collette.

Okay, so., um--

This is, uh--
this is Mrs. Lay.

Uh, Milky Lay,
like the galaxy.

She is a hen.

A hen.

Um, but, uh,

it's pretty clear that
Mrs. Lay would like to see,

uh, the-- the-- the baby Jesus.

And I was wondering

if you could--

you could make that happen.

Okay. Um, yeah.

Oh.

Lovely to meet you, Collette.

Yeah, we--

What type of person

doesn't let a hen
experience theater

at Christmas?

And you're sure
she can't get out?

I'd hate to tell Amy

her chicken's dead
after the play.

Mm.

Hmm.

Well, assuming she doesn't
grow opposable thumbs,

or learn how to fly,
I think we might be okay.

Uh, sorry.

Hey. We're here.

Oh, you made it.

I thought-- I was getting

a bit worried
for a second.

Oh, we wouldn't miss it,
would we?

-Oh, it's--
-Dad.

-Yeah?
-I need to go to the bathroom.

Uh, you went before three times.

I need to go again.
I had a little bit of juice.

Okay, cool.

Um, just be quick
and, uh, don't take too long.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, is everything okay?

Oh, yeah, fine.

Um, yeah, kids, juice.

-Oh.
-Yeah.

Right. Now,
that is enough, you two.

Okay? I have worked too--

we have worked too hard on this
to just throw it all away now.

Okay?

You're my stars, all right?
You're my stars.

So can you just be
my shiny little stars

and get on?

Well, tell Tim to stop having

stupid ideas, then.

I was destined to play Rudolph.

Well, Amy's the only one
who fits in the costume.

I can't work
in these conditions.

Tim, there are no small roles.

Only small actors.

That is it.

Really, Amy?

The truth hurts.

Real mature.

Where is that boy?

Oh, don't worry,
we still got plenty of time.

-Hmm.
-All right.

Hi, bud.

You brought her, did you?

No.

Okay.

Oh.

Are you excited
for the show, Brian?

Oh, uh, yeah.

Amy's been telling me
all about Rudolph

and how he helped Jesus be born.

Hmm.

What are they teaching
our kids at this school?

I think it's an attempt
to be non-denominational,

but I'm pretty sure
that word got lost

along the way somewhere.

- Yeah.
- Hmm.

Oh, it's starting.
It's starting.

Huh.

Whoa. Where are we to go?

It is dark
and I know not the way.

Hark, before us.

I see a light.

A sign from the heavens,
that star.

-We are--
-We are the three wise men.

-Caspiar.
-Melchior.

Balthazar.

We have learned
of the birth of a new king.

And we have
traveled to this place...

By the heav--
by the heavenly star.

They really broke
the budget on this one.

I heard Spielberg is attached.

What's that noise?

Star, take Rudolph's light
and guide the wise men to the...

baby Jesus.

Amy's part is coming up.

Hark, the light from the star.

It fades.

What are we to do?

Shall we lose sight
of this holy beacon?

Did someone say bacon?

Wait, I mean beacon?

Hark, who goes there?

Hi, I'm Rudolph.

I'm one of Santa's reindeers.

Who is this Santa you speak of?

You'll find out soon enough.

She's great.

Isn't she?

The material's a bit iffy.

Well... uh...

What's up, Brian?

It's Ms. Lay.

-What about her?
-She got out.

What? Out of the car?

Oh, me jacket.

What-- what do you mean
your jacket?

I've brought Mrs. Lay in
to follow the play.

You've brought Mrs. Lay
in your jacket?

Okay, okay.

This is fine. This is fine.

It's fine-- this is fine, right?
This is fine.

This is not fine at all.
This is not fine at all.

Is everything okay?

-Ja.
-Yeah.

Ich bin ein super gut.

-Okay.
-Yeah. Yeah.

-Yes.
-Fine.

Okay. Uh, okay.

Where is she now?

Oh. Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

-Oh.
-Is that Mrs. Lay?

That-- that could be any hen.

Any hen.

There's seven million in the UK.
It could be any hen.

Mrs. Lay?

Hark, the crib animals
have came alive.

It's a Christmas miracle.

This is serious!

Come here, okay?
Come to Mama, Milky.

Come to Mama.

Oh, hi, Martin.

Hi, Amy. Um, great play.

Uh, it's just--

uh, going to take Mrs. Lay
and go back.

Oh!

Clearly she has favorites.

Sorry, everyone.

As you were.

I really need to
re-read the Bible.

-Okay.
-That was amazing.

Thanks. I know.

Mrs. Lay was pretty good too.

Thanks for sneaking her in.

Well, you told us
that she likes to play,

so I couldn't let her miss it.

-Some Sunday, huh?
-Yeah.

It's quite some--

I don't think
she's going to let us...

let us in again.

So...

-It's all right.
-Yeah.

It's all right. Okay.

I guess.

-Sorry.
-That's...

So, on a scale of zero to 100,

how embarrassed
are you right now?

Well...

to be fair, mmm, pretty high.

Pretty high. Um...

yeah, I just hope no one from,

uh, from-- from PETA.

Pe-- do you say
Peetuh or Petta?

Oh, Petta.

Not gonna say it.

I hope no one from PETA

was in there to see that.

Yeah.

So-- so, uh, you know
how you were saying to me

that, um, you owe me
because, uh...

I guess destroying your
daughter's play

kind of makes us even.

Destroying? Are you kidding?

Amy loved that.

And if anything, I think
I owe you once more again.

Oh, that's, uh--
I don't know about all that.

-Uh...
-No, I do.

Um, how about I get you dinner
sometime this week?

Uh...

-I...
-I...

I, um...

I-- I-- I'm sorry.

I d-- I don't know why
I-- I asked that.

I just--
I don't even know you that long.

So...

-No.
-Yeah.

No, no, it's...

Dinner with-- with...

you, just the two of us, um...

sounds delightful.

Um...

it's just that...

it might be a bit much for him.

That is
completely understandable.

I...

Can't we just forget
I said anything?

You know, honestly, I don't even
like you that much anyway, so...

Well, fantastic. Amazing.

I mean, I get-- well,
I-- I-- I am a mess.

I, yeah-- same. Same.

Anyway, um...

Yeah, okay, so I better--
I better get Mrs. Lay home,

before she forgets
what it looks like forever.

Yeah, yeah, that's--
that's probably for the best.

Yes, yes, for the best.
F-- for the best.

The best. Hmm.

Okay, um...

-Yeah.
-Yeah, okay.

And I'll just...

Hey, sweetie?

Hey, sweetie, we shouldn't be
here. Okay, go, um...

Where am I taking you?
Um, we're going to that--

-Martin?
-Yes?

Um, I wanted to give you this.

Uh, yeah.

Thank you for this.

It's... amazing.

It's-- um...

Uh, okay, sweetie. Come on.

Good seeing you, Brian. It's--

Bye-bye. Come on.

Let's get you home.
Get you out of this outfit.

Wasn't that great?

It was amazing. Very memorable.

Wasn't it so kind of Martin
and Brian to bring Lay?

She's a star.
She belongs on stage.

She sure does.

Can we see Brian
and the animals again soon?

Maybe.

We should go.

Right.

And knock.

-Hey!
-Brian!

Oh, my lovely boy.
What have you got there?

I've got your favorite.

- Milli Vanilli.
- Oh!

Wow! Oh, thank you very much.

Oh. My favorite.

We've got you a couple of bits.

-There you go.
-Thanks.

We didn't get you anything.

See, when I get this old, Brian,
my jokes will be just as bad.

Hey, little fella.
How you doing?

I'm all right, good old fella.

-Come in.
-Listen,

I've got some, uh, brand-new
dinosaur facts for you.

Come on.

You'd better listen to him, too.

He's the same age
as the dinosaurs.

Go on.

So, yeah, um, we're quiet now,

but, uh...

we're expecting, uh,
this Christmas-January rush.

Calm before the storm, eh?

Yes, very much.

Uh, a welcome calm
before the storm.

I can imagine.

-How's Brian doing?
-Uh...

Yeah, he's good. Yeah.

I mean, he's looking after me
at the moment, but...

Hmm. He's--
he's a great little lad.

-Yeah.
-You know,

adopting him was the best thing
you could have ever done.

It really was. It really was.

And, Martin, how are you doing?

I'm-- I'm good. I'm good.

Christmas is, uh, tough,

but I don't need to
tell you that.

Yeah, it isn't easy
for any of us.

But me and Kev,
we really appreciate you

keeping us in your life.

Wouldn't have it
any other way.

Yeah, you guys have been
parents to me

as much as my actual parents.

You're an angel, Martin.
Never forget that.

Now, have you thought about

having Christmas
outside the house?

It's just that...

Brian loves our traditions,
you know.

I don't know if he's ready.

And...

the kid
has put tinsel everywhere.

Literally everywhere.

Just like his mum, then.

Just like his mum.

Brian's been telling me about,
uh, Amy and Robin, is it?

Uh, was he, now?

Who's Amy and Robin?

Just-- just some customers
that we had,

uh, that had a-- a sick hen.

Uh-- uh, yeah,
just some customers.

And do you always go to plays
with your customers?

Uh, no, but, uh, you know,

they wanted to say thank you,
and I obliged.

You know, do you-- do your
customers not thank you

just, you know,
by paying the bills?

That was very nice of them.

And, uh, Robin...

is she nice?

Uh, yeah, she's...

nice.

Oh, so she's, uh, nice, is she?

Well, she sounds lovely.

Do you think you'll be
seeing her again?

Um, I don't know.

Um...

- I don't know.
- Do you want to?

Would you like to
really see her again?

Yeah.

I don't know if I can.

Oh.

Is it a bit too much
at the minute?

You know, Martin...

our lovely, lovely Tanya...

you know, she was--

she was a lovely soul as well.

And you know as well as I do

she'd want nothing
but happiness for you and Brian.

Well, what do you think
Brian would want?

I-- I don't know.

I think you do.

You know,
he's been talking about

nothing else
but Amy and that Robin.

You know,
more than any dinosaurs today.

I think...

she's great, but...

I don't even know her.

Hang on.

Well, you know,
that's the beauty of strangers.

You get to know them.

Are you guys
talking about Robin?

Dad keeps on making
really bad jokes around her.

Oh, God.

- Oh.
- That's right.

Hey-- Oh, hey,
that-- that reminds us.

Um, did you hear about
the farmer that won that award?

Huh?

Huh? Right, he was outstanding
in his field.

- Oh.
- Oh, Kev.

I don't get it.

It's-- don't worry.

Um, and on that terrible note,

uh, I think it's time, uh,
we best be off, eh?

Right.

Thank you very much for the pie.

Any time.

Hey, Briceratops, I think

there's a Kevinosaurus Rex
on the loose!

Now listen, Martin,

don't you ever
apologize for being happy.

Especially not to us.

Oh.

Oh, Kevin.

Oh, come on, then.

- Group hug.
- Group hug.

- Oh.
- Oh.

Right.

All right, I'll text you
when I get in, yeah?

-Safe journey.
-Yeah, take it easy.

Bye. Bye, Brian.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Bye, love.

Oh.

Aunt Margaret did what
at Thanksgiving?

On all of the tables.

Why didn't you
tell me that before?

I've been saving it
for you.

Oh, she's crazy.

Well, that's
your Aunt Margaret.

And did you make
your nice pumpkin pie?

Uh-huh, and some of that

favorite ice cream of yours.

Oh, um, someone's
at the door, Mum.

- Can I give you a call back?
- Yeah, sure.

Okay, I'll speak to you soon.

Okay, love you, baby. Bye.

Who is it?

- Rob, it's me.
- Steven?

What are you doing here?

No, you cannot just show up
here like this.

No, I know. I know.

I just-- I knew
you wouldn't want me to come.

It's not me
who doesn't want you here.

Well, it's
nearly Christmas, Rob.

-I've got presents.
-Presents?

It's a bit late for presents.

You call up
looking for Amy two months ago

after not seeing
her for over a year,

and you think
that is going to be

a big fat band-aid
over everything?

-It's not like that.
-Then what is it like?

She's my daughter, Rob.

Now you realize.

No, you cannot come here
with presents

and expect to buy back
all the time that you missed.

She is not ready for that.

I'm not trying to
buy back anything.

I want to be in her new life.

Well, she deserves better
than to be ignored, Steven.

Well--

well, I want to spend
the rest of my life

making up for that.

She has spent most of her life
without you.

-You are a stranger.
-I know, Rob.

I-- I-- I can do better.

Ju-- please just give me
one more chance

to prove it to her.

Look...
I want you to be in her life.

But it has to be on her terms.

Of course. Always.

Okay.

I will speak to her
about you seeing her tomorrow,

but I am making
no promises, okay?

Thank you, Rob, thank you.
Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.

Um, come in.

All right, Briceratops.
How you doing?

Good. Just putting
decorations everywhere.

Yeah.

What are you doing?

You look
like you've been sneezing.

No.

Uh...

Nah.

You're not allergic to tinsel,
are you?

Of course not, no.

But if I was, I'd...

be in big trouble,
wouldn't I?

What's that?

It's, uh...

It's just tidying up.

Do you miss Mum?

I miss Mum.

Of course I miss her.

I miss her every day.

But...

I'm lucky
I've got you, aren't I?

You're strong enough
for the both of us.

Like a T-Rex.

Does this photo make you sad?

Sometimes.

But usually happy.

Happy?

Yeah.

You know how dinosaurs
aren't around anymore?

But when we play with your toys
or watch your dino films,

we can imagine what it'd be like
if they were around.

Yeah.

That's what
this feels like for me.

And when you...

put up all your tinsel
and all your decorations...

it's like part of her is
still here with us.

I've never really
thought about it like that.

I'll always be happy as long
as we have each other, okay?

Me too.

Good.

I like having Amy around too.

Do you like having Robin around?

Yeah.

But...

I'm not sure
Robin feels the same.

Oh.

But do you know
who will always be around?

Who?

-The Dadoraptor!
-No!

You know Brian said
they have feathers in real life.

Hmm.

I mean, he would look a lot less
scary with a peacock's tail.

Can we visit Brian soon?

What part of that
is slow to you?

Uh, yeah.

Maybe.

But, um...

...Christmas is a busy time,

so it might be a while
before we can see them.

How long's a while?

...finds a way.

I don't know, sweetie.

But I thought you loved
hanging out with those guys.

I do. They're great.

Um, it's just things
can be complicated.

What's complicated?

Well, things
aren't that easy all the time.

Like, things
just get in the way.

What gets in the way?

Well, we've only just met them.

And we've been
there loads this week.

I don't want to bother them.

How are we bothering them?

Can we just
finish this film, please?

Okay.

Can we see them tomorrow?
That's loads of time.

-Amy!
-What?

I thought you loved
hanging out with Martin.

You always laugh at
his bad jokes.

And they're really bad.

Come on, now.
He can be pretty funny.

You only think that
because you fancy him.

What?

Where's this coming from?

You want to kiss him.
He's your boyfriend.

I do not.

Okay.

Well, maybe a little bit, okay?

But...

I don't think he feels the same.

Oh. Here.

Hi, this is Greenfield's.

My dad's at
the bathroom right now.

Can I pass on a message?

Brian, it's me.

Amy, what are you doing?

I'm ending this silliness
once and for all.

By the end of the day,

our parents will be
best friends again.

Now listen closely.

-Dad, Dad, Dad!
-Wait, what is it?

It's Miss Lay.
She's throwing up blood.

What? Are you sure?

Yeah, Dad. We need to go now.

Why don't you get
Robin to drive her here?

She's fallen over
and hurt her leg.

-Are you sure?
-Yeah, Dad.

-Okay, okay, coming.
-Let's go!

Okay, okay. Come on, let's go.

Amy, Robin.
It's Martin and Brian.

Martin? What?

We're here for Mrs. Lay.

-What?
-Amy rang.

She said...

your-- your leg... Um...

What about my leg?

Well, I thought...

But she-- but she said--

What-- what did Amy say?

Amy said, surprise!

She's so much better.

Wait, what was wrong with her?

You don't need
to worry about that.

Just a little mix-up
with some red crayons.

The blood.

I am so sorry, Martin.

I do not know
what she was thinking.

It's okay.

So, now that you're here,
you may as well stay.

Nice try, Amy.

Um, I wish things

were always that simple.

But, uh...

But sometimes they're not.

Have a nice Christmas.

Yeah. You too.

Dad! We haven't put out the
cookies and the hot chocolate.

Hey, relax.
I've already done it.

Taken care of.

But, Dad, did you put out
real hot chocolate or...

Or...

Or gravy?

Wha-- what?

What, you mean you knew?

Well, of course I knew.

But...

b-- but why?

Well, you were really sad

and I thought I'd prank you
to make you happy,

but you just really liked it.

So all this time,
I could have been having

actual hot chocolate
and actual coffee?

Serves me right
for being too nice, huh?

Listen, Briceratops...

I'm sorry things have got
so complicated with Amy.

They don't have to be.

I know, but...

it's just that Christmas is
a really important time for us.

Our traditions, our decorations,

the hot chocolate,
the gravy.

I just don't want
any of that to change, yeah?

Good.

But I think adding
some new nice stuff

would be good for us and you.

What do you mean?

I haven't seen you as happy

as you are with Robin
in a long time.

I just want you
to have that everyday.

So what should I do?

Go to her, Dad.

You are ten years old.

How are you this wise?

I had the best role model.

I'm sorry, Mum.

It's okay.

You had the best intentions.

But, um...

...some things
just aren't meant to be.

Life's too short to not chase
the things you love.

When did you get so grown up?

-I'm ahead of my time.
-Yeah, you sure are.

Anyway, Mum, I heard that
50% of marriage ends in divorce,

and you've already had one,
so you'll be fine.

Okay, I really need to restrict
your internet access.

Okay.

Okay?

Okay.

Yeah, I'll do it.

Yeah.

Yeah. Uh...

...okay.

-Hi.
-Martin.

-Um...
-I...

Robin, I have
something to tell you.

You terrify me.

Not like that. Um...

For so long I saw the future

as Brian's and Brian's only.

But since I met you...

I see a future for me,
for-- for us.

And that's why you terrify me.

You give me something to lose.

I know this is new for us.

I think we could use
something new.

I want something new.

Yeah.

Thank you...

for finding the missing piece
that I didn't know I'd lost.

Good morning,

and a Merry Christmas
to you all.

Now, to get
your day started right,

here is our festive number one.

Dadosurus Rex!

Hey!

Oh, look.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

What-- what is she doing?

-Oh, a cool jumper, Bri.
-Thanks.

Me Mum made it.

Well, it's beautiful.

Oh, hello.

Can I help you?

I think you've got this
mixed up, friend.

Uh, you knocked on my door.

Oh, what,
you think this is funny?

I'm leaning
more towards confusing.

- Hmm.
- Steve.

What are you doing here?

-I followed you here.
-You followed me?

Yeah, I wanted to
give Amy a present, but...

clearly you're busy.

Oh, you have no right.

Uh, still confused
over here, guys.

Uh...

what's going on?

This is Steven.

Amy's father.

Oh. Uh...

Hi, nice to meet you.

Yeah, I bet it is.

What are you?

Lawyer? Doctor?

Uh, I suppose, uh...

animal doctor.

Mm-hmm. Right.

I bet you've heard all about
Amy's deadbeat dad, am I right?

Not really.

Oh.

Can we have a word?

This is actually
between Robin and I.

Man to man.

Look, um, I'm just here to help.

I know what losing
a parent does to a child,

and I would never want that
for Amy.

I get it.

We can't undo the past
or be certain of the future.

I'm not here to judge,

but you know
what really matters?

What?

You need a bit of empathy.

You need to want a relationship
with Amy for her,

not for you.

And if you give her the time
and space she needs...

she'll come round.

Give this to Amy, will you?

You don't have to say
it's from me.

Um, I-- I--
I know she'll love it.

Thank you.

I'll make sure she gets it.

Merry Christmas, Steven.

Merry Christmas.

All right.

Has anyone told you
you're incredible?

Just a donkey.

It's the dino crew!

Stanzas!

-So, Amy?
-Yeah?

Why don't you...

open this present?

"Every reindeer needs a Santa."

Oh, it's a little
Santa hat for Mrs. Lay.

Oh, I love it, I love it!

I know family
can be complicated and...

no one can...

tell you how
you should feel, but...

I think your dad
would really love it

if you gave him a call.

Okay, Martin.

Mum, can I have your phone?

Yes, yes you can.

Christmas
is like a box of chocolates.

You never know
what you're gonna get.

This year Santa
got me a new best friend

and a person
to make my mum smile.

Thank you, Santa.

Oh, and Mrs. Lay loves
her new Christmas hat.
