- Where is it?

I know I put it in here
somewhere.

- April, you not packed yet?

Come on, we gonna miss our
flight.

- I am almost ready, Michael.

- It's 15 minutes ago.

- Yes. Okay, here it is!

I mean, I got this so I
could wear it for you,

but I mean, you think it's too
much?

- Oh, no, no, no, no-
- I can just,

you know, put it back.
- No, no, no.

- You gotta swim, right?

- Right. Yes.

- Can you put that in my
suitcase?

- That's what my thought.

- No, but seriously, babe.

Is all this really necessary?

I mean, we're only going
away for Christmas.

- This isn't just a regular
holiday.

- I know. It's our honeymoon.

- Yes. So I need options.

- I don't know why.

Everything I want to do
doesn't require clothes.

- Hmm. Is that right?

- Alright, let's not start.

Come on. We gotta go.

We got a flight to catch.

Alright.
- Alright, you got everything?

- Yes.
- Alright.

(phone chimes)

- What was that?

- The airline. Our flight's on
time.

So we gotta get moving.

- Okay.
- Alright.

- Let me just pack, zip this up.

- Alright.
- And then I'm ready.

- You good?
- Yep.

- Here. Gimme that
- Ready.

- I got it. (groans)

- Okay.
- Alright, let's go.

We're out!

Hawaii, were we come.

What are you doing?

- Don't ask questions you
already know the answer to.

(playful music)

Dear Lord, thank you so much

for every blessing that touches
every area of our lives.

Please bless this honeymoon

and make this the best Christmas
ever.

And we-
- Amen.

- And we.
- Amen.

Woo. Did you feel that spirit?

I felt it.

Look, God knows our hearts.

God knows my heart.

God knows your heart.

God knows we need to catch a
flight.

So come on, let's go.

- Okay.
- Come on, April.

- Alright, I'll be right down.

- I will leave you.
- Yeah right.

(gentle music)

And can't forget you.

- April!
- Coming!

Ready!

(bright music)

Okay, I'm coming!

- About time.

- Jeez.
- Alright.

- Come on!

Hawaii, here we come.

- Yes, I'm ready.
- Let's go.

- Let's go.
(phone rings)

- Hold on.
- Okay. Don't answer it.

It's probably a scammer or
something.

- Yes. This is he.

Oh my God. Is she okay?

- What's going on?

- Yes, yes, we'll be right
there.

- Oh, excuse me?
- Thank you for calling.

- What's going on?

- It's Nicole.

She was in an accident.

- Oh, is she okay?

- I don't know.

Look, we gotta go to the
hospital.

- Uh no, we don't.

You guys aren't married anymore.

- April, I know we're divorced,

but she was supposed to watch
the kids while we were gone.

Remember?
- Yes.

But unless she's dying, we
are not going to the hospital.

We're going on our honeymoon.

- [Husband] Oh my God.
Nicole, what happened?

- Nothing. I just slid on some
black ice.

I mean...

- Oh, I'm sorry, Nicole.

- It's not as bad as it looks,
girl.

(tray clatters)

- Oh, I'm so sorry.
- Are you okay?

- [Nurse] Such a clutz.

I'm still getting used to this
form.

- Oh, you don't have to
apologize.

Oh, no, I meant the
uniform, the, the uniform.

Anyway, this one here,
she's gonna be just fine

now that her family's
here to take care of her.

(playful music)
- Um...

- Who? Us?

Uh no, no, no.

We, we are on our way to a
flight.

So someone else is on their
way to take care of her, right?

Like a boyfriend, BFF.

I don't know, somebody.

- Actually, I haven't had
the chance to call anyone.

- But what are you guys doing
here anyway?

I didn't call y'all.

- No, the hospital called us.

- Yeah, don't act like you don't
know.

Why is he on your emergency
contact list?

- Oops.

That might have slipped my mind.

Okay, girl, bye gimme your phone

so I can make arrangements.
- No! What you mean?

- Okay, everybody just calm
down.

Let's take a beat for a second.
Okay?

- What for? We have a plane to
catch.

- It's, look it's complicated.

- [April] What are you saying to
me?

- What about the kids?
- What about them?

- I'm not leaving my kids alone.

- No, of course not.

But she hasn't even tried
her parents or a..

- Alright, you're right.
I'll give 'em a call.

- [April] Okay.

(April sighs)

- Hey, Ms. Goodwin?

Yes. Merry Christmas.

Yes, I'm here at the hospital.

Nicole's been in an accident.

Yeah, she seems fine,

but I was just calling to see
when can you all get out here?

Yes. Oh, okay.

Well, how long do you think?

Okay.

Alright, I'll tell her.

Alright, be safe.

She said they're snowed in.

They won't be able to catch
a flig..

- Aw.
- Oh, great.

So, no Hawaii?

- Not right now, babe, I'm
sorry.

- You did this on purpose,
didn't you?

- If you actually think that
I set this whole thing up.

- Yes.
- You're insane.

- I do.
- Okay, okay.

- You couldn't just let
us have th..

- Okay.
- Could you?

- Down, calm down.
- Everybody just relax.

Ma'am, you really should leave.

- Oh, so I'm the bad guy?

- Baby.
- Yeah, right.

Okay. Whatever.

- Babe!
- Ugh, let her go, Mike.

- Can you, can you-
- Sir, sir.

Please.
- I'm sorry.

I'll, I'll be back.

- Yeah. I'm so sorry.

- It's okay.

- Look at your pulse.

Alright?

(gentle music)

- April? April, would you
slow down and talk to me?

- What?
- Look, you know

this isn't my fault, right?

- This is crazy.

I don't know how to deal with
this.

- But you knew I had an
ex-wife when you married me.

- Yes. That you knocked
up while we were on break.

(somber music)

- I love you, but you're
being a real brat right now.

♪ Gucci, I got that ♪

♪ Balenciaga, I got that ♪

(phone rings)

- Oh, that's my best friend.

I have to take that. Thank you.

Hi, best friend.

- Hey, Stephanie.

- Oh, well, for someone

who's about to go on their
honeymoon,

you sure sound awfully sad.

Is your flight delayed?

- I wish.

- Oh, no. What's going on?

- Nicole said she got into a car
accident,

but I'm not buying it for one
minute.

- I wouldn't put it past her
either.

She's been trying to play these
games

since you and Michael got
together back in college.

- I know.

And every time I have to
deal with ..

why did he marry her?

- Mm-hmm.

You and I are a team, April.

But, is the girl right?

- Define all right.
- Does she have

any head trauma or life
threatening injuries?

- No, no. It's nothing like
that.

She just has a few broken bones.

But do you know what's worse

than having to postpone our
honeymoon?

- (scoffs) Let me guess.

Having to take care of her
trifling self.

- Yes. And the kids.

- For real?
- Yes.

What am I gonna do?

- Oh, baby. Don't worry about
it.

Don't trip.

Listen, you got this.

Plus I'll come out and help out
too.

- Oh my God. Would you do that?

- Yeah, of course.

I'm your girl. Whatever you
need.

- Thank you.

- I got you.

But listen, some of us are gonna
go out

and we're gonna go have some
drinks.

So I'm gonna have to call you
back.

- Have fun.

- You know, I always do.

Love you.

- Oh, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to startle you.

- Oh, it's okay.

- Wanted to give you this.

- Thank you.

You have no idea how
much this means to me.

- Is that you and your mom?

I'm sorry, but I did take a peek
inside.

- Yeah, no, it's okay.

Yeah, she passed away when I was
12.

So..
- I'm sorry.

- Whenever I wear this,

it makes me feel like
she's always with me.

- I'm sure she is.

- Thank you.

- Lillian.
- Lillian?

Yeah, I needed to hear that.

I could really use her help
right now.

- Right.

Well, I, I could never
fill your mo..

but if you need an extra set of
hands...

- Holiday angels?

- Yeah, it's just something
I do each Christmas

to help people out if
they need extra support.

- Oh, that's nice of you.

My friend Stephanie said

that she would help me out with
the chaos

that is my life right now, so...

- Oh, well, no pressure,

but hold onto that in case
things change.

- Okay. I will.

Thank you.
- You're welcome.

(bright twinkling)

- [Man] I hope you know what
you're doing,

- Marshall, you know, I know the
rules.

Besides, did it look
like she recognized me?

- That's debatable.

Indeed, you are unrecognizable
to her.

But some bonds are
multidimensional.

Letting go again can be hard.

- But she needs me.

And for the first time
I can help her Marshall.

And isn't it at my discretion?

- (scoffs) And so be it.

(both laugh)

(bright music)

- [Michael] You getting
good grades or bad grades?

- Good grades.
- Good grades or bad grades?

- [Boy] Good, good, good, good.

- Uh huh, As or Bs?

Ah, boom.

Do me, do me.

- Oh yeah.

What grades are you getting?

- A pluses.
- A pluses?

No, we don't do A pluses.

We do A plus, pluses. (growls
playfully)

(Michael laughs)

Alright, y'all? Your daddy's
tired.

Y'all gotta go to bed now.

- Are are we really spending
Christmas here with you, Dad?

- Yes, you're spending
Christmas here with us.

- Yes, and we can do
whatever you guys want.

Does that sound like fun?

- Yeah.

- What about our mom?

- Hmm. Your mom'll be here too.

And don't worry.

Your mommy's fine.

We're gonna go see your
first thing tomorrow, okay?

- Yes!

- Now you guys have to go to
bed.

Go to bed.

(Michael growls playfully)

(April chuckles)

(April sighs)

(gentle music)

- Hey you.
- Oh, hey.

Hey.

You know you're a great
dad. I hope you know that.

- You think so?
- Yes.

- God knows I'm trying.

I mean, with the divorce,
trying to co-parent.

Not to mention marrying
the love of my life.

Just don't want my kids to hate
me.

- No.

Well, you don't have to worry
abou..

It's me they hate.

- That's not true.

- Me and Gabriella, we're cool,

but have you seen the
way Jayden looks at me?

It's with such disdain.

- He's nine years old.

He doesn't even know what that
means.

- Well, he definitely feels it.

It's like he thinks I
broke up the marriage.

- Stop that.

My kids know you had nothing
to do with my divorce.

- Yeah, but still.

Do you think he'll ever grow to
like me?

- He is going to grow to love
you.

Alright?

Now here, put down this.

Let's stop working for a little
bit.

Come relax with me. Alright?

- Okay.
- Come on.

- Michael, I'm sorry
for what I said earlier.

- It's okay.

- No, I can't keep throwing
the past in your face.

- This is true.

But I know this is a
lot. I'm learning too.

- Yeah, but I'm sorry for
hurting you.

So, do you forgive me?

- I forgive you.

- So, what's the plan?

- You mean the one about
my ex staying with us?

- Yeah.

(Michael sighs)

- Well, I will take care of my
kids

and I will handle Nicole.

- Okay.

And I guess I'll throw together
a last minute Christmas,

even though I haven't
really done that before.

- Your family didn't go
all out for Christmas?

- Well, my dad tried after my
mom died,

but it was just never really the
same.

So this should be interesting.

- Must have been tough for you
growing up without your mom.

- Mm-hmm.

Funny thing about losing a
parent is,

is no matter how much time
passes,

you think about them every day.

- Well, I don't know what that
feels like,

but I'm sure your mom is
looking down on you from heaven

in awe of the woman you've
become.

- Thank you.

- And as long as I have breath
in my body,

you don't ever have to worry

about being alone for Christmas.

You're my forever family.

- I love you.

- I love you too.

- Oh!

- Hey, what's up, babe?

- Hey, good morning.

- Are we having french toast?

- Oh yeah.
- Oh no, sweetie.

- Our mom always made us French
toast

when we don't have school.

- Well, that's nice.

But I thought

that we could make Christmas
gingerbread pancakes.

The kind that I used to make

with my mom when I was growing
up.

- Those sound so good
my mouth is watering.

See?

- I guess anything's better
than that gross cereal Dad buys.

Ugh.
- Oh!

- What? What'd you say?

- No, no, I wasn't talking about
that.

- You talking about my cereal?

You talking about my cereal?

Yes you were.
- No, I just want to..

- Say I'm sorry.

Say it.

- [Jayden] Okay, I'm really
sorry.

- You apologize?
- Yes, I apologize.

- Apologize to the man.

- What'd you say? Tell him
again.

- Apologize to the man.

- I said okay, sorry.

- Yeah, that's what I thought.

Get off my clean counter.

Alright.
- That's what you doing.

- Alright, so who wants to
help me ma..

- [Kids] Me.

- (laughs) Alright.
- Alright.

- Hey girlfriend!
- Stephanie!

- So excited to go shopping!
- Yes, me too.

- Hey, hey!
- I need it.

- Hey, you guys you can't...

The syrup, you don't need
that much syrup, Jayden.

- [Jayden] Yes, I need the
flavor.

- No, you-
- Something smells good.

- [Michael] Hi Stephanie.

- Mm, hola, hola.

- [Michael] You want some
pancakes?

- I really shouldn't. I'm
trying to slay this body.

Okay?
- Okay, girl.

- Girl, stop. And have a plate.

- Hi Miss Stephanie.

You look fabulous.

- Oh, I love her.

Thank you, doll.

Well, it seems like everything's
in order around here.

- It's still early.

- Yeah, because we got a busy
day.

Isn't that right, kids?

- Is it time to get Mommy now?

- As soon as you finish eating.

Oh. Oh, okay.

Alright, alright.

Come on. Let's go get washed.

Say bye to Ms. Stephanie.

- [Kids] Bye.

- Come on.
- Bye.

- Bye Stephanie.
- Bye.

They're adorable.

- Yeah, they're really cute.

- How are you hanging in there?

- I'm good. It's good.

Good.

(thoughtful music)

- Oh, I hope you don't expect
me to wash all these dishes.

I thought we were gonna go
shopping.

- Yes. That's next on the list.

- Good, 'cause I just got my
nails done

and I was about to run
outta here real quick.

- Stephanie!
- What?

- I thought you were here to
help.

- I am, but oh, by the way,

I have to leave in the
afternoon.

- What happened to "I got you,
girl."?

- I'm sorry, my friend.

I have teenagers at home that
need my constant supervision.

I swear they're like five year
olds.

- So what am I gonna do now?

- I don't know. Maybe call in
the Lord.

You know?

I mean, it's not-
- You are a genius.

Yes. Alright.

I almost forgot.

- What?
- Yes.

I met an angel yesterday.

- Okay.

- That's my boy.

Here we go.

(phone rings)
Ho, ho, ho, ho.

- Hey, April. What's up?

- Hello? Lillian?

- Good to hear from you.

- You too.

Yes, my friend decided
to actually bail on me,

so I will need your help after
all.

Are you free?

- Yeah um, am I available today?

Sure.

What time?

Four o'clock's good.

- Yeah, that's perfect. Okay.

Yeah, nothing major.

Just help with Christmas
decorations and ..

- Yeah, because we all
know that's not your forte.

- Shh!
- Okay.

Okay, sounds good.

Text me the address and I'll see
you so..

- Okay. Yeah.

Thank you so much. I'll see you
then.

- See you.

Hey, hey.

Come on. Let's go.

Come on.

- [Stephanie] Now who was that?

- Why? Are you sticking around
to help?

- Nope.

- Then mind your business.

- (gasps) You're so rude!

Come on!
- You're rude.

- No!
- You came over here,

you're supposed to be helping.

- No I'm not.

We're supposed to go shopping.

Now let's go.

- We have to clean first.

- Who's we? You're cleaning.

We!
- No, you.

- Get over here.

And while you're here, let's
clean.

- No.
- Come on.

- No.
- You apologize?

- Yes, I apologize.
- Apologize to the man!

- What'd you say?
- Mommy!

- My babies!

- Are you okay? Does it hurt?

- Not as much as it did
before you guys came.

What are you doing?

- I'm using my magic
to make you all better.

- Oh, is that right?

- Yep. That's why I wore
my special princess dress.

So I can use my powers to heal
you.

- Where did you get that dress
from?

- April.

Isn't it pretty?

Now, mommy, just sit back and
relax.

- Why do you let her come
outside looking like that?

- Because she wanted to wear it.

- Remind me as soon as
I get out this hospital,

to throw that in a garbage.

- Why would you do that? Gabby
loves it.

- Mike. It's hideous.

- Nicole, I'm not doing
this with you today.

- Listen, don't come
up here with a attitude

because April can't put
on an outfit like I can.

- You ever think that
April bought that dress

for our daughter is
because it makes her happy.

What are the doctors saying?

- They said I should be able to
come home

probably later on this
afternoon.

But they just gotta run some
more tests.

- Why didn't you tell us
that before we came out here?

- Because I wanted to
see you and the kids.

- Call me when you're ready.

- Mike!
- Come on kids, let's go.

- Wait, we're leaving already.

- Yeah, don't worry. We'll be
back.

- Well, bye guys.

- Love you, mommy.
- I love you too.

- Bye mom.

- Come on, guys.
- Bye.

Mike. Mike!

Make sure you throw that dress
away.

- Okay, so we just need
to find the book section.

So the website says that
this store has one more copy

of the "Light Legends"
collectors edition.

So we just need to find it.

Stephanie!
- Coming!

So touchy.

- Last night Jayden said

that he wanted this book for
Christmas.

And if I could get it for him,
then I will be the real MVP.

- Maybe Mike'll get it for him?

- No. He said he looked
everywhere for it.

But if I could find it in the
city

that, it would be a legit
miracle.

Oh, here it is!

- [Shopper] Hey, I was
gonna get that book.

- But wow, this book is really
popular

with the kiddies, right?

- Yeah, I know.

I've been looking all
over town for this book.

- [Stephanie] Hey, what are you
doing?

- Okay, okay, wait.

Alright. You know what?

I know that you're really
stressed, but I did have it
first.

So if you'll excuse me.
- Yes.

- Oh get off me.
- Oh no, she didn't.

Excuse me.
- Not again!

- Ladies, what is happening
here?

- This lady tried to attack my
friend.

- I did not!
- Yes you did.

- Let me guess, it's over this
book.

- Yeah.
- Yes.

- Oh, I knew it. Who had it
first?

- I did.
- Her.

- Clearly I did, because I
still have it in my hands.

I'm a witness. She did.

- Thank you.
- Ma'am,

I'm gonna have to ask you to
leave.

We do not tolerate gift
stealing at the Christmas Nook.

- Fine.
- Bye.

- Oh ladies, I am so sorry about
that.

Would you believe that
that is the second time

that's happened this week?

- Really? Do tell.

- The other day we had two
ladies in here

who got into a little tift.

One of them ended up taking an
awful fall.

Broken bones and all.

- Hmm. That sounds terrible.

- That sounds like Nicole.

When did this happen?

- Uh, the day before yesterday.

Search Christmas Nook
fiasco on the internet.

It was all over the local news.

Listen ladies, I really do
feel awful about what happened.

Could I get you a cup of our
special hot cocoa on the house?

Yeah. That, that would be really
nice.

- Coming right up.
- Yeah, thanks.

- Interesting.

- Look at this.

It says 34-year-old local
woman, Nicole Goodin,

suffered a terrible fall on
Tuesday

outside of the Christmas Nook

after an incident with a fellow
shopper

over the coveted children's
fantasy novel "Light Legends".

- The scuffle took to
the sidewalk where Goodin

slipped on a sheet of ice

and suffered injuries
to her arms and legs.

(Stephanie gasps)

- I can't believe it.

- (scoffs) Girl, I can.

- She totally lied about her car
accident.

- Wait, are you gonna tell
Michael?

- I don't know.

It's, I don't know.

If I tell him it's only
gonna stress him out.

- Nuh uh, girl, you're better
than me.

I would've been on the phone
like, "Hey baby. Guess what?"

- Yeah, I'm gonna let
her know that I know.

Believe that.

- You better.

Mm-mm.
- My book,

I had it first.

- [Shopper] Don't know
who you mess..

(Michael sighs)

- [Jayden] Come on. Go.

- [Michael] Wait, don't run!

- Daddy, I want this one.

(playful music)

- Oh, okay.

This is, this isn't nice.

Don't you think it's nice,
right?

- Yeah.
- Um, but I mean, it's a tree.

It's not like it's ugly or
hideous.

That's not what we're saying.

- Yeah, it's not what we're
saying.

- What?

Don't make me confused.

- Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.

It, I'm just saying there's
a lot of oth..

and I think we should look
around

before we commit to just one.

- Sure.
- Alright?

You didn't really like that
tree, did you?

- Nah, good call.

- My man.

Let's see.

(happy music)

Ah!
- Um, Dad.

- [Michael] Yeah!

- Can I ask you a question

and you promise you won't get
mad?

- Sure, buddy.

You know you can ask me
anything.

You know that, right?

- True.
- So what's up?

- (sighs) I was just wondering,

why did you and Mommy break up?

- Wow. Um, you're just
gonna ask straight up.

No chaser? Just...

- Huh? English, Dad.

- Okay, man to man?

Look, I love your mom very much.

But that wasn't enough.

We weren't happy.

That make sense?

- Not really.
- Okay. Alright.

So haven't you noticed that I
wake up with a pep in my step

and a little bit more joy?

You know, I smile more.

- Uh, a little bit.

- When I was a kid, Grandma and
Grandpa used to fight a lot.

The last thing I wanted
for you and Gabriella,

is for you all to see that.

- So, was marrying Mom a
mistake?

- No!

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

I don't regret being married
to your mom a single moment.

Do you know why?
- Why?

- Because it made me a better
person.

And she gave me you.

I couldn't even imagine

how my life would be
without you and Gabrie..

Look, son, there are no mistakes
in life.

Just opportunities to get
better and to have growth.

So, does that answer your
question?

- Yep. Thanks Dad.

- Okay.

Well now I have a question for
you.

What do you think about April?

She's fire, right?

- What? English, Dad.

- Oh my God.

Would you stop being so bougie?

See, I told your mom not to
send you to that priva..

What do you think?

- She is.

Though I wouldn't use such
an outdated expression.

It makes you sound old.

- Oh. So now I'm old.

Okay. Okay.

You tried it.

I see.

- (sighs) I did.

Don't worry though. I like her,
Dad.

- You do?
- Yeah. She's fun.

Plus all my friends
thinks she's really hot.

- They do?
- Yeah.

- So your friends clocking my
woman.

You better tell your friends
to stay away from my woman.

- Daddy, this one.

- Oh wow, baby.

Now this is a tree.

But we all have to agree,
alright?

So what do you say?

- Are you kidding me? I love it.

- Yeah. Think we got a tree.

Excuse me, sir.

There you go. We'll take this
one.

(doorbell rings)

- Hi Lillian. Come on in.

April, can we come in?

- Yes. Come in, come in.

Oh, oh my gosh.

Look at all this.

- Yeah.
- I wasn't expecting this.

- Well I don't play around,
right?

And don't worry about anything

because we're gonna
take care of everything.

- Oh, but I wanted to help too.

Just say the word.

We can always use an extra set
of h..

- Uh, Christmas was always a big
deal

when I was a little girl,
but never anything like this.

My mom would be like a kid in
a candy store if she saw this.

- Oh!
- Yeah.

I wasn't expecting
Christmas to go ..

this year, but it's gonna be
special.

Thank you.
- You're welcome.

- So where do we start?
- Follow me.

- Okay.
- Come on, guys.

- Well, that's the last of it.

All we need is the tree.

- Oh my gosh.

I forgot about the tree.

- What?
- I am so exhausted.

- I'm pooped.

(ladies chuckle)

- Do you think they're gonna
like this?

- They're gonna love it. Are you
kidding?

Look what you're gifting them.

It's beautiful.

- Yeah.

I guess I just, I feel
like no matt..

I'll never be a part of the
family.

I mean ever since my mom died,

I just always felt like I was
on the outside looking in,

no matter where I was,
like I didn't belong.

(sad music)

It's hard to, it's hard to
explain.

- No, I understand.

- Yeah.

The world feels different
when you lose the person

who loves you the most.

Are you okay?

- Yeah.

What you said really moved me.

I do understand what you're
saying.

And um...

I'm sure that your mother
never meant to leave you.

- I know.

Now I have a chance to
start a family of my own

and sometimes I'm really
afraid of losing it.

- Hmm.

- Yeah.

Um, do you ever think about
Nicole?

- Nicole?

- Well, it's just that it feels
like

she's having a hard time
letting go of family

that was once hers.

- I mean, I've never
really thought about it

'cause she's always here,
so don't really have time

to really reflect on how she
feels.

- Yeah.

- Whew. Hey, babe, we're home.

- Hey, baby.

Hey Nicole.

- Hey girl.

- So, what do you guys think?

- It's just all so wonderful!

- Wow, you did all of this for
us?

- Yeah.

Well, you guys are special.

And I wanted you to have
a special Christmas.

- You really did outdo yourself,
babe.

- I mean, it's cute or
whatevers.

Hey, Lillian.

- Hi.

- Yeah, well, I can't take all
the credit.

I had a ton of help.

Um Michael, you remember Miss
Lillian from the hospital?

- Oh yeah. Hey, how you doing?

- Yeah, she's our very own
holiday angel.

- Is she? Okay, okay.

Come on, kids.

(Michael sighs)

- Hi, Miss Lillian.

Are you really an angel?

- Well, that depends on
who you ask, Gabriella.

- How did you know my name?

- Um, I guess your mom must have
told me.

- Oh, that makes sense.

This is so beautiful.

Thank you.

- It was my pleasure,
sweetheart.

And you must be Jayden.

- Yes, ma'am.

- Oh, you don't have to call me
that.

I feel like we're already
friends.

- Really?
- Yeah.

April talks about you nonstop.

- Well, we are kinda stat.

(adults chuckle)

- Okay. So all we need now is
the tree.

- Yep. I got it covered.

- I found us the most perfect
one.

- Yep.
- Oh, really?

- Uh huh. Just you wait and see.

- Oh, okay.

What? Oh.

- What are you doing?

- I'm coming with you to help.

- I got it.
- Oh, it's okay.

I, I wanna, I wanna help.

- Alright.
- Okay.

- Yeah. April, let a man do a
man'..

and please come help me to my
room.

(playful music)

- Uh no.

And it's not the stone age.

- Okay, well maybe I can help.

Where, where is it?

- It's right down the hall.
- Okay.

Alright. Let's go.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

- It's okay. Come on.

You guys alright?

- Yeah.
- We'll be right back.

Alright?
- Okay.

- Okay.

- [April] Okay!

Oh, it's cold outside.

- [Michael] Yeah, it is.

- Alright.

So how are we gonna get this
tree down?

What (giggles) what, are you
doing?

- Mm, looking into the
eyes of my beautiful wife.

- Aw, that's so sweet.

I miss you too.

- I just wanted to take some
time to hold you for a second.

(gentle music)

- Mm, this feels nice.

- I know, right?

- You smell good.

(both laugh)

So how are you doing with all of
this?

- Honestly?
- Mm-hmm.

- I'm a little stressed out.

- Really?
- Hell yeah.

I got my wife and my
ex-wife under one roof.

April, this ain't a game.

- You mean this isn't every
man's fantasy?

- Are you crazy?

It's a legitimate nightmare.

- Wow, I, I didn't know you felt
that way.

- Come on April. I'm not slow.

I know how Nicole can be.

And I just want to assure you

that I'm doing everything
in my power to handle this.

- Thank you. I appreciate that.

And I need to tell you something
too.

- Oh God. What now?

- It's nothing like that.

I just, just want to tell you
that

I've really thought about
everything and it's gonna be
okay.

- You sure?
- Yes.

- Okay, because you know,
Nicole's a little touch, right?

- (laughs) Stop it.

- Oh, I'm just saying. I mean...

- Okay.

- Not fully committed
to the insan..

- Okay, stop it, okay?

- Sometimes she's a little off
her rock.

- Okay. Leave her alone.
- I'm just saying.

- Let's focus on the tree.

Okay?
- Alright.

- Yeah.

Let's, let's do that.

(both laugh)

Alright, how are we gonna get it
down?

(Michael sighs)

- Um, Nicole, you know,
I've heard a lot about you.

- [Nicole] Oh, really?

Well, don't believe it.

'Cause it's all lies.

- Oh. Oo!
(metal clattering)

Do you need me to come in there?

- [Nicole] Uh no, I got it.

- You sure?
- I think.

Mm-hmm.

- Uh huh. You all right?

- [Nicole] Yeah.

- 'Cause I can come in there,
you know.

- No.
- Oh.

- See?
- Oh, oh, oh.

Okay.
- I'm good.

- Oh, wow. You are, okay.

- Yeah.
- Here, lemme help you, honey.

Oh dear. Oh my.

Take it easy now.

Alright. Alright.

Sit down.
- A little bit more to go

- Slow. Got it?

- Yeah. Almost.
- Okay.

So how did they get you to
come in for the holiday rush?

- Oh, I offered.

- Mm, I bet Mike set that up.

So his precious little A

didn't have anything to worry
about.

He's always been like that
though, sweet.

- He seems like a great guy.

So how long were you all
married?

- We made it to about six years,

but it fell apart long before
then.

- Oh.
(footsteps pounding)

- Oh, hey guys!

- Mine, mine, mine!

- How 'bout, Jayden, give
the bear back to your sister.

Give it to her.

Ow!

Can y'all stop fighting and sit
down?

- I'm sorry, Mommy.

- I'm sorry. I'm sorry y'all.

I didn't mean to scream at you
guys.

- It's okay.
- I'm sorry.

- Careful.

(thoughtful music)

- [Nicole] Yeah.

- [Lillian] Easy.

- Well, it's definitely not how

I planned on spending my
holiday.

I'll tell you that much.

But, I'm a baddie.

I always got this and
I'm gonna get through it.

- Okay.

- Yep.

Mike, I gotta hand it to him.

He always there when I need him.

- Yeah. It, it was April

who picked out your clothes
and brought them here.

- Of course it was.

That girl makes it really
hard for me to hate her.

- [Lillian] Maybe you're not
meant to.

Okay, kids. Are you done with
the bear?

Let's puff up those pillows,
Jayden.

And Gabriella, help me
pull back this bedspread

so Mommy can get inside of
the bed and get some rest!

Come on honey, pull it all the
way back.

There you go.

And let me, okay help Mommy.

Help Mommy over here.

Come on, Gabriella.

- Okay. Alright.
- Alright.

- Almost there.
- Alright.

Come on, babe.

Step aside. I got it.

Ah.
- What you mean?

Are you sure?

- Yes.

It's not like you carrying
it too m..

- Excuse me. I am doing a lot
here.

- No, no.
- Okay? Yes.

- Alright, now all we have to do
is-

- Put it in the stand!

- Yeah!
- There she is.

- Michael, hurry up.

This is heavy.

- That's what she said.

- Oh!
- Hey, hey.

- I cannot with you.

- What are they talking about?

- Beats me.

- Alright. It's almost...

(grunts) Got it.

See?
- What did I tell y'all?

Beautiful.

- All that's left now is to
decorate it.

- Yeah!

- Boom.

(Lillian laughs)

- Ah. Whew.

And none of y'all helped.

(Michael sighs)

- (yawns) Oh, I'm so sorry.

- Yeah. You know what,

it, it has been a long day.

So why don't we decorate
the Christmas tree

tomorrow on Christmas Eve.

And that way the whole family
can be here.

And your mom would've had
a little bit of sleep.

- Sound like a plan?
- Yep.

- Alright. Let's thank April!

(family clamors)
- Oh no!

(family laughs)

- Thanks, babe.

- Well, I should be going.

- Oh, well, I didn't see
a car in the driveway.

You need me to give you a lift
somewhere?

- Oh, no, no. I'm all set.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah, it's no problem.
- Yeah,

I've made all the arrangements.

All good.
- Okay.

- Okay, well, Lillian,

I just really can't thank you
enough

for everything that you did
today.

None of this would've
been possible without you.

- April, it was my pleasure.

- So tomorrow?

- Tomorrow.
- 9:00 a.m.?

- 9:00 a.m.
(April and Michael laugh)

- Okay. Alright.

- Bye kids.

- Bye.
- Bye, Miss Lillian.

- Bye, Miss Lillian.

- Who told you you could tickle
my woman?

Who told you?

- Yeah, it really is.

It's gonna look great. So good.

Okay well, oh...

(gentle music)

I'll see you tomorrow?

- Tomorrow.
- Okay.

- Okay. Bye kids.

Whew.

- Bye.

(bright music)

- Shh.

(playful music)

- Oh, Lillian forgot her purse.

- You guys all right?

- [Jayden] Uh huh.

- [Michael] Huh.

- Oh, Lillian!

- She gone?
- Yeah.

- Hmm, that was fast.

- I know.

- What's up with you guys?

You see where she went?

- Uh...uh uh.

- What do you mean, no?

- Daddy, stop it with a fifth
degree.

We said we didn't see!

- Okay. Sorry.

- Yeah, it was too dark outside.

- You know you two are
acting really weird.

- (laughs) Well, we all
know where we got that from.

- Oh, really?

- Yeah. He has a point.

- Oh, you too?

You too?

Wow. Okay.

My own family.

(bright music)

(playfully suspenseful music)

(bright music)

Hey!

(family clamoring)

- Mike, what do we have here?

Mike, pretzels for breakfast?

- Why you gotta be a hater?

Why you gotta be a hater?

- Morning sunshine.
- Hey babe.

- I overslept. I'm so sorry.

- Oh, it's okay.

I was here to hold down the
fort.

- Michael, how come you didn't
wake me?

- Oh, dad told us not to.

- Yep. He gave us explicish
instructions.

- Oh, huh?

- Explicish.

(April laughs)

- What's so funny.

- Sweetie, it's explicit.
Explicit.

- Oh, thank you, Mommy.

- You were sleeping so well
I didn't wanna wake you.

- Yes. But we have guests and
It's my job.

- I got this. I got this.

Look, I made you a nice salad.

So eat.

(April sighs)

So April, do you always come
downstairs looking this rough?

I mean...

- Don't start, Nicole.

- What? I'm just saying.

I look fabulous and I'm all
banged up

and it's not giving.

- You're so funny, Nicole.

- I know.

- You know what's even more
hysterical.

- What?

- Is what I heard at the
Christmas Nook.

- Hmm?

- Well, I heard there were
two women fi..

- [Nicole] Allegedly.

- One woman got really, really
hurt.

- Mm.
- Yeah.

Do you, do you know anything

Your mom and I are gonna go
outside and have a conversation.

We'll be right back. Okay?

- Okay.

- Toodles.

- Want some more juice? Okay.

Okay.

- Oops!
- Girl!

Damn.

Now what you heard that
happened at the Christmas Nook?

- Come on, don't act like you
don't know.

- I just wanna know if
you know what I know.

- Did you really think

that people weren't gonna
find out about two grown women

fighting over a toy in a
bookstore?

- April, what are you gonna
do, go run and tell Michael>

- I don't know.

That depends on you.

- So what do you want?

- I want to be on a beach,

but since that's not gonna
happen, I want peace.

So you are gonna be civilized
and you are gonna be kind.

Or I'm gonna tell Michael

all about this dirty little lie
you have.

♪ Dirty little lie ♪

- And you don't want that, do
you?

- No, April.

- Okay. So, do we have a deal?

- Deal.

- Excuse me?
- Deal.

Can you take me back to the
kitchen?

- (scoffs) No.

- Whatever.

I'll just help myself.

I gotta do everything around
here.

- [Lillian] How are those
potatoes coming?

- Oh, they're good, good.
- Good.

- Almost there.

- What are you guys up to?

- Hey.

- I should be asking you that.

Babe, what was that about?

- Mike, please.

- [Michael] Okay. If you say so.

- Oh, babe, have you seen my
turkey fryer?

- Why? You're not thinking
about frying a turkey?

- [Michael] And why not?

- Because we just bought this
house,

and I don't wanna burn it down.

- Girl, please. You tried it.

You know I'm the best
turkey fryer in the world.

You know that?

(Nicole sighs)

She'll tell you.

- Mike.

Well, I wish I could help you
guys

'cause I could throw down
in the kitchen, y'all know?

- Yeah, Michael did tell me

that you know how to cook really
well.

- Yeah. And Mike knows way
around the kitchen too.

But he just can't cook better
than me.

(ladies laugh)

You remember when we used to
have t..

when I used to...

- Um, April I'm a little
thirsty.

- Oh, ah, okay.

You ready for one of my
famous holiday cocktails.

- You know it!
- Yes.

It's my mom's recipe.

- Oh, you remember?

- Yeah.
- I mean,

you must have been a little
girl when your..

- Yeah.

I, I told you my mom used to
make

the biggest deal at our
Christmas,

and she used to say that
the best way to prep

for Christmas dinner is with
a cocktail in your hand.

- Okay? And I could use
a cocktail in my hand.

- Um, Nicole, you sure about
that?

- Mike, I'm a big girl.

- I know, It's just that, you
know,

April's a little heavy handed
and you are on medication.

- Okay?

And after all that I've been
through,

I can sure use a drink.

So bring it here.

(Lillian laughs)

- Alright, anyone else?

- Uh, not while I'm on the
clock.

- Stop. Okay?

Please. Okay.

Alright, um...

- April, I remember this one
time

when me and Mikey got so drunk

we almost got arrested in Vegas.

- Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
hey.

Whatever happened to what
happens in Vegas stays in Vegas?

- Okay, cool. That went out the
window.

I'm trying to get in the way.

Get in the way.

What? I'm just joking.

April, can I have another drink,
please?

- Pour me up!
- No, no, no, no, no.

- Pour me up!
- I think you've had enough.

- Mike, I'm fine.

- No, you've had enough.

- Now you acting like you
care about me all of a sudden.

What do we have here?

- (sighs) Look, I'm
just trying to look at-

- Bartender! Another one,
please.

Thank you.

- Don't.

- Lillian sweetheart, could
you pour me a drink, please?

- I don't think that's a good
idea.

- You know what? Screw all
y'all.

Y'all too serious.

I'mma get it myself.

- What are you doing? What are
you doing?

- I don't wanna wear this no
more.

- [Michael] Nicole put the sling
back on.

What?

- Nicole, Nicole! Leave me
alone.

- Sit down.
- I'll get it myself.

- You're doing too much.
- Yeah. Y'all doing too mu..

- Mommy, are you okay?

- I'm okay, baby. I'm okay.

- Go sit down.
- I'll take that.

- Whoa! What, see, look what you
did.

- You're okay.

- Oh my God.

You're going upstairs, now.

Mommy's okay. She's okay.

- Come on kids. Come on kids.

- Come on.

You're going upstairs now.

Come on.

- I'm in trouble. Come on.

- Come on.
(Nicole laughs)

- You know what, Nicole?

I am really, really trying
to be patient with you.

But what in the world is wrong
with you?

- Nothing, Mike. Loosen up a
little bit.

Why are you so pressed?

I'm the one that should be
tensed.

I'm just trying to have a little
fun.

- It was more than that.
- How?

- How?

Let's talk about how you talked
to my wife

about our romantic vacations.

- (laughs) That was just
bonding.

Come on.

- No, it was inappropriate.

- According to who?

- According to me.
- You?

- Alright?
- Or her?

- I was uncomfortable.

So I already know how she felt.

- Well, she had a mouth

and she could have spoke up for
herself.

- You think I want that?

You think I want the two women
that I care about the most

arguing under my roof?

Well, lemme tell you something,
I don't.

- (laughs) Well, excuse me,
Mike.

Okay?

- You think this is the game,
don't you?

- Ah, Mike.

Okay, fine.

If I crossed a line, I'm sorry.

- For real?
- Yeah, it won't happen again.

- Alright. Thank you.

I appreciate it.

- Okay.
- I gotta go.

- I'm, I'm, I'm not feeling
well.

- What's the matter, you in
pain?

- No, I'm just drunk. (laughs)

- See, I told you to slow down.

- Okay, stop nagging me.

Help me get in bed, please.

- Watch your foot.

(Nicole grunts)

- Hey, yo. What you doing?

- I thought I had to sneeze.

That's it.

- Yeah. Okay.

Girl, what's wrong with you?

I'm sorry. I couldn't help it.

- I'm married!

- And used to be married to me.

- You know, good and well,
we've been over for a long time.

- The way you look at her

reminds me of the way
you used to look..

And I just thought-

- You thought what? Huh?

You thought I would cheat on my
wife?

(sad music)

Look, I'm sorry, but you gotta
go.

- What?

- No, I know you're
banged up and ev..

but you have to leave.

- Where was this devotion
when it came to us?

- (scoffs) How can you say that?

You and I both know that I
tried hard in our marriage.

Alright, you and I discussed

and we said we needed to find
more.

And now you're gonna
weaponize our marriage

in my house with my wife and
our kids in the next room?

You really are sauced up.

Look. I'm sorry, alright?

Here. I'm sorry.

- [Nicole] Thanks.

- I didn't mean to raise my
voice.

(Michael sighs)

- Mike, I don't know what's up
with you.

But you know, I'm not even like
that.

Do you even still think about us
anymore?

- Of course I do.

You're the mother of my
children.

- That's it?

- Look, I don't know how to
answer that.

You gave me the greatest
gift in the world,

and that's those two babies in
there.

- But she, she has your heart?

- I can't do this.

- Mike!
- I can't.

- Mike!

(Nicole sobs)

(Nicole growls)

- Oh my goodness. What is wrong
with her?

- I don't know.

- Look, honey.

I'll get this.

- It's a lot.
- Yeah.

- We need to talk, now.

- What's wrong?
- Come on.

(hopeful music)

- Hmm.

- Michael, what is, what is
going on?

What is it?

It's cold out here.

Hey, Michael, whatever
she said, you can tell me.

I will, I promise I will try to
be mature.

- She kissed me.
- What?

- Nicole kissed me!

- I wasn't expecting that.

- Yeah. Neither was I.

Look, I just had to tell you.

You okay?

- No, I'm not.

- I'm sorry.

Look, I know this is hard for
you to hear, but you know us.

We don't keep secrets from each
other.

- (sighs) Yeah, I know.

Well, since we're being
transparent,

I have something to tell you.

Nicole didn't get into a car
accident.

- What?

- [Nicole] My book. I had it
first.

- [Shopper] You don't know
who you're dealing with.

- Are you serious?

Oo, I can't believe that girl.

- Yeah, I know.

- Wait a second, babe, why
you just showing me this?

- Because Michael, I know you,

you just would've tried to
bottle it all up and deal.

- Baby, I am your husband.

- Yes, that I love more than
anything.

And I didn't wanna
stress you out even more.

But now that she's gone and
kissed you, all bets are off.

I am gonna strangle her.

- Well, you can believe me.

You don't have to worry about
that.

Because I told her she can't
stay here.

- Really?
- Yes really.

Baby, she can't disrespect you
like that.

- Where's she gonna stay?

- That's not my problem.

April, she tried to seduce me.

She crossed the line.

- Okay, I can't believe
I'm about to say this,

but I think we just need to take
a breath.

- A breath?
- Yeah.

What about Christmas?

- Jayden and Gabriella.
- Yeah.

They would be so devastated.

- Ah, baby. Tell me what to do.

I don't know what to do.

I am at my wits end.

What do you want me to do and
I'll do it.

- I want you to file for full
custody

and for us never to see her
again.

- Are you serious?

- No, of course not.

But I don't know what to do
either.

I'm trying to figure this
out right along with you.

- Oh, there you both are.

I'm sorry to interrupt,

but Michael, Gabriella's crying
for you.

- Okay.

I'm gonna take care of this.

Thank you.
- Sure.

(Lillian sighs)

- So you heard?

- Yeah, Nicole shared.

- This is just such a mess.

All I want to do is scream.

- So what's stopping you?

Yell at the top of your lungs.

No one's here.

- No. I, I can't.

- Of course you can! Like this.

(Lillian screams)

Okay. Don't look shocked.

Your turn.

Go ahead. I'll do it with you.

Ready?

(playful music)

(ladies screaming)

(ladies laughing)

- Oh, my gosh.

That was really great, actually.

Where did you learn that?

- Um, well, actually, when my
daughter was a little girl,

we used to do that together.

She wouldn't remember it now, of
course,

but she'd get herself all wound
up.

And instead of teaching her to
hold it in,

I allowed her to express
herself.

- Oh. And that worked?
- Oh, yeah.

She'd let it rip and I'd
let her tire herself out

and then she'd calm down
afterwards and it was all good.

So, how do you feel?

- (sighs) Lighter.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

- Like you're thinking more
clearly, like-

- Yeah.

- You know, you let out all
that frustra..

- Yeah and I definitely don't
wanna

punch her in the face anymore.

- See, this is good stuff.

- Yes. This is very good stuff.

- And, and maybe you could
have a civil conversation

with the woman.

- Um, she crossed the line.

- Yeah, she did.
- Yeah.

- But you're not gonna let
someone else's bad behavior

compel you to diminish yourself,
right?

Or ruin this fabulous happy home

that you waited so long to
create.

Hmm?

What did, did I say something
wrong?

Have I offended you?

- No um, that's just something
my mom used to tell me

when the kids used to tease me
at school.

- Oh. Oh well, well, you know
what?

She sounds like a very wise
woman.

Yeah.

- Have I met you before?

Something about you
just seems so familiar.

- Well, I don't think so.

I mean, I...

but, but, but I know the
feeling.

Yeah. I, I feel the same way
too.

In a way. Yeah.

- It's nice.
- Yeah, it is.

Yeah, it is. It's nice.

You wanna go inside?

- Um, yeah.

- Okay, let's go.

It's cold out here.

(Lillian laughs)

Um you know, I will
catch up with you later.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah.

Yeah. Go inside.

- Okay.
- Yeah.

(Lillian sighs)

- Cutting it kind of close.

- Yeah. You know, I was
kinda skating the edge.

But, did you see the way
she looked at me, Marshall?

My sweet baby girl.

- You should be proud.

She's quite a lovely young lady.

- I am proud.

- My friend, it's time.

- I know.

- You all right?

- Yeah, I'm just so full.

Thank you.

- You're welcome.

(Lillian sighs)

- Shall we?

- Yay. Miss Lillian.
- Hey!

- Woo. It's cold.

- Hello.
- Hey.

- Hi.
- Hey.

It looks like someone is feeling
better.

- It's 'cause we're
playing her favorite game,

Rudolph the red nosed reindeer.

- Oh. Who's winning?

- Me!
- Only 'cause I let her.

(Jayden chuckles)

- Aw.

- Um, could we talk real quick,
y'all?

- Yeah, we can talk in the back
room.

- But, what about the Christmas
tree?

We still haven't decorated it.

- Yeah, we were waiting for you
guys

so we could do it together.

Not so you guys could talk
privately.

- Promise you baby. We'll be
right back.

We'll make it quick.

- Or we can just talk later.

- Sure.

- Yeah, yeah. You know what?

We can talk later.

- Great. Alright.

I'll be right back.

- Besides, that tree is
looking real dry and crispy.

Why ain't it decorated yet?

- Because April wanted us to
wait.

- For what?
- For you.

She wanted us to do it
together as a family.

- Aw.

- What's wrong mommy?

- Nothing sweetheart.

(footsteps approaching)

- Oh my goodness. What's
with all the long faces?

(Lillian and April laugh)

Okay, let's get decorating.

- Yes.
- Alice,

cue the decorating music.

Whatever the Christmas music.

Come on, let's go.

Let's go decorate the tree.
- Come..

- Something smells so good.

- Sure does.

- Thank you.

- Yeah.

Lillian, you're staying right?

- Oh, I can't.

- None of this would be
possible without you.

You have to stay.

- [Nicole] Yeah?

- Yes.
- Well, if you insist.

- Yes.
- We do.

- Okay.

(women chuckle)

- Those kids are awfully quiet.

Where are they?

- I'll go take a look.

- - Look.
- I wanna...

- Um, you go.

- Okay, let's, let's have a
seat.

(thoughtful music)

I really wanna apologize to you.

- Yes, you do.

Kissing him in my house?

Girl, you are really
testing my Christianity.

- I know, but you don't
understand.

It's more than that.

- What are you talking about?

I was dating Michael

long before you were ever in the
picture.

And I had to go watch
him marry someone else,

have kids with someone else,
buy a house with someone else.

So I know exactly what
you're talking about.

- But you guys were broken up.

- And you guys are divorced.

- So you was holding
this in that whole time?

- No, that, that's just
the truth of what it is.

Look, when you guys were
together,

I let it go and I gave it to
God.

And I lived my life.

I traveled all around the world.

I had amazing experiences I
loved.

And most importantly,

I respected Michael's
choice, his marriage.

- There was always a part of me

that wondered if Mike really
loved me or if he was with me

because of the kids.

Like, was that our bridge?

- No, that's not the kind of man
he is.

- But the way Michael looks at
you,

everybody know in college,
like it's not the same.

- So you did know about us?

- Of course April, y'all
were like the it couple.

And when y'all broke up, I took
my shot.

And granted things didn't work
out

no matter how hard I tried.

But being here and watching
the way he looks at you

every time you come in a
room and he just lights up.

It's really triggering.

- That's a problem, Nicole.

- I know, but it's never
gonna happen again.

I'm a mess.

- Look Nicole, you're not alone.

Hey, look around. You're loved.

Michael, he hasn't abandoned you

and your kids, they need you.

And if you allow it, might
even make a new friend.

- We are Black.

We don't put raisins in potato
salad.

So are we having the talk?

- Yeah, we already did.

- And we're good?

- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.

- Oh, thank God.

Come on kids, let's eat.

Oh my goodness.

(family laughs)

- So does anybody want any more?

- Oh no baby, I am stuffed.

I'm good.

- If I eat another bite I
will abs..

On that note, it's time for me
to go.

- [Family] Aw.

- Can you please come back
tomorrow

and Celebrate Christmas with us?

- Yeah.
- Yes.

- Oh!
- We would love that.

- What?
- Yes.

- That is so sweet.

Listen, we shall see. Alright?

Because tomorrow I may need to
help another family in need.

But here, give me your hand,
Gabriella.

I just hope that having spent

this very special time together,

you all realize just how
blessed you truly are, huh?

- Yeah, we are.
- Yeah.

- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas!

(family laughs)

- Well okay, well I guess I
should walk you to the door.

- [Lillian] Okay.

Bye Gabriella.

- Yeah.
- Bye Lillian.

- Behave, Nicole.
- Bye, Miss Lillian.

- Bye.
- Be safe.

- Oh.

- Thank you so much for
everything.

- It was my pleasure.

Just one thing. Was it worth it?

- What do you mean?

- Being here with your
blended family, April.

- I'll miss you, Miss Lillian.

- Oh, Gabriella, I'll
miss you too pumpkin.

- Bye Miss Lillian.

- Bye, Jayden.

Oh, listen, you two,

you're gonna make Miss Lillian
cry.

Stop.

- Oh, wait, before you go,
we should take a picture.

- Oh, no, that's just for
family.

- No, no, no, no, no. We insist.

Right guys?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

- [Lillian] Well I, I see no
harm in th..

- Let's go.
- Okay, honey.

Go ahead. Now go.

- Okay. You guys ready?
- Yes!

- [Family] 10, 9, 8, 7,

6, 5, 4,

3, 2 merry Christmas!

- Come here, sweetie.

- Oh man.

- For some reason I really
don't want you to go.

- Aw.

(ladies chuckle)

Oh.

Oh! Oh!

- Hey, beside your mom,

I thought I was the only person

that made you weak in the knees.

- Yeah, I thought so too.

- Take care.

- Thank you.

- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.

(indistinct)

(bright music)

(kids gasp)

- Hmm.

(April gasps)

Mom.

(hopeful music)

Mom?

Lillian?

Did you guys see where she went?

- She's gone.

- What do you mean?

- She was an angel.

- Yeah, she really was.

- Oh, what y'all doing
out here? It's cold.

What you looking at?

- A gift from God.

- Yeah, you are.

- Ew.

- It's just so beautiful.

(April laughs)

- [April] This is truly
the best Christmas ever.

(happy music)

- Y'all are gonna catch a cold!

(adults laugh)

- I love you. Merry Christmas.

- Merry Christmas, babe.
