Hello, and welcome
to The Front Porch.

Where you'll learn how to
make your porch beautiful,

whether you're decorating for...

What?

A Chicken.

Move, go, go, go, go.

Hello, and welcome
to the Front Porch.

I'm Victoria Stevens,

and I am so grateful
for all of you out there

who love decorating for the
holidays just as much as,

You've got to be kidding me.

What? Hey, excuse me.

Hi.

Hey. It's a
beautiful day, huh?

Yeah. I'm trying to
do a post over here

and between your rooster

and the machine thing
that you have going, it's

Oh, the circular saw?

Sure. Yeah. I, I
can't get anything done.

Oh. I'm sorry.
I'm, I'm on a deadline.

Do you mind posting inside?

No, no. I, I, I can't, um, my,

my handle's called
the front porch.

You know what? I'll just do it.
I'll do it later. It's okay.

Look. No, no. I'll
take a coffee break

and you can do My Harmony thing.

- What, what
- Your My Face, My Harmony.

I, I, I don't know.

My Harmony is
a, is a dating app

from a really long time ago.

Oh. I mean, it's
all the same to me.

And I love using
seasonal plants native

to Texas in my wreath. Here in
our small town of New Hope,

we have lots of access to
plants growing everywhere.

Even on the side of the
road. I made this wreath

for 4 dollars and 20 cents.

But it looks like something
you would pay $125 for at Home

to Heart's fancy store.

No matter where you live,

you can create something
beautiful and inexpensive.

That really reminds you,

Mom, Mom, look what I made.

Hey, honey.

Remember what mom said
about interrupting her
while she's working?

I'm so sorry, Mom.

It's Okay. I know you just...

Can you just um, give me
five more minutes?

Oh, I made this
for our new neighbor.

Can you guess what it is?

Um, Yeah, it's um,

Rooster for our new neighbor

From Mr. Gavin huh?

- Yep.
- Hmm. I had other plans for that rooster.

Like what exactly, mom?

Nothing. Nothing. Hey, honey.

- Yeah.
- Why don't you go give it to him now.

I'll, I'll stay here and

watch to make sure
that you're safe.

I'm 10. I'm being
indecisive. Just like you.

I think you mean independent.

- That's why I said, mom.
- Okay. You go on.

What do you want?

- Hello? To you too.
- Why are you calling

- How's Charlie?
- A year older than the

last time we heard from you.

You know, maybe this
is why I don't call Vicki.

- Hello, Buddy.
- That's better. Is Charlie there?

You know, it's taken her
years to get over the fact

that you're not coming back.

Imagine we got some seed
in our hand and is eating.

Vicki, I'm barely
scraping by as it is.

I wish I had some money.

I could send you both, but,

but my, my EP is, is doing
great in Germany, so maybe soon.

That's what you said
about France two years ago.

I really need my guitar back.

My guitar got stolen
last night after the gig,

and I'm devastated about

Buddy,

I, I, I had to settle all of
your stuff years ago to get by.

It would be really nice if
sometimes you just called

to say hi or check on us instead

of only when you need something.

I remember when you
believed in me. In my dreams.

That's why I left Vicki.

The only thing that loved
me back was my music

Buddy.

That is not fair. And you
know it. Look, I, I gotta go.

Are you happy, Charlie?

- Yes. Why?
- You know I love you very much, right?

Mommy? Yes. You
were scaring me.

Who was that on the phone?

That was dad, wasn't it?

Yeah.

I hate this place.

Don't say that this
was Nana's house.

It's just like she's with us.

What now?

Good morning. Oh,

Good morning, Pastor Tiffany.

Look, I just wanna let
you know, I'm so excited

that Charlie's gonna be in the
Christmas pageant this year.

Oh, we have rehearsal right
after service. Oh, thank you.

Charlie. Is this for me?

It's the church.

Oh, I love it.

I'll add this to my collection.
We'll be back by lunchtime.

Thank you so much.

I heard you got
a new neighbor.

Yeah. Yeah. A very loud. New
neighbor.

Is he playing music?

I heard through the
New Hope grapevine,

that it's Gavin Gardner.

Should I know who that...?

Girl, Popular Texas artist
originally from Australia.

You need to give him a listen.

A musician, huh?
Figures. Okay.

You guys have fun today,
okay? Thank you so much again.

Can I hang out with y'all?

I'm not a little kid anymore.

No, you go on and
hang out with them.

This is our momma time, right?

Happy hour. Cheers.

So, Charlie was telling
us about your new neighbor.

It was Mr. Gavin this, Mr.

Gavin, that, she's a little
smitten. What about you?

Oh, no. And please.

I, he's the last person I wanna
waste this beautiful night

talking about. I mean, he's
so loud all of the time.

And he has chickens.

Why does he have chickens?

And he's constantly
doing work on his house.

It just seems like it
never ends. And the noise.

It's just all the time.

And, you know, I'm,
I'm also pretty sure

that his rooster is either
evil or possessed, or both.

I thought you didn't
wanna talk about him.

I don't. Let's
just change subject.

Well, I did see him
working on the yard. Sonia...

Oof, he looks good
without his shirt on.

Oh.

Oh, hey, baby. I
couldn't help overhearing.

He, he looks good
without his shirt on.

Hey hon.

I'll take my shirt
off right now. You
understand? I'm not worried.

Oh, no, I think we're
good.

Yeah.

Right, ladies?

Yeah, you can do whatever
you want. It's your house.

That's right Victoria.

Actually baby, I have
a question for you.

What keeps the
party going longer?

A six-pack or that keg baby?

Oh my gosh.

Hmmm, Jill knows.

Sorry about that.

You know, I forgot the worst
part on top of all of it.
Is that he is a musician.

You're never would
you ever again.

Exactly. And you know,

Charlie just stopped asking
about her dad finally.

You know, I think kids bounce
back quicker than we do, though.

You know, they don't have
mortgages or bills to pay.

They can just be.

Oh, how is The Front
Porch Gram thing going?

Are you guys doing okay?

Yeah. Yeah. It's going
great. We're, we're fine. Yeah.

Because you know, if you
ever want a part-time job,

I'm always looking for
another makeup artist

to come join us on our team.

I appreciate it.
But we are fine.

And if I ever need
help with anything,

I will just ask for it.

Okay? I promise.

Mom, look at the
Christmas Tree I made.

Okay. I'll be right back.

So how long have
we been doing this,

this support group
with our kids?

- Two years.
- And how many times has she hosted?

Zero.

Every time I go to pick
up Charlie for a play date

or anything, she just
meets me on the front porch

and she never invites me inside.

I hope she's okay.

So what are we
talking about now?

- Gavin,
- Please? No. Can we move on?

Do we have to?

He's kind of cute.

Please, please.

Jackie Zinn.

Shannon, I have a
question for you.

Who is a Frosty the
Snowman's favorite aunt?

Who?

Aunt Artica.

Ahhhhh!

We're back!

Season Three!

It's gonna be more excitement,

More stories,
more human stories.

Yeah.

And we're expanding
even to outdoors.

Home is where my heart
is at. She's my heart.

We just wanted to share
that with the world.

Absolutely. Especially
those who, you know,

can't make these
dreams come true.

Well, this is our newest line
of ornaments. Home to Heart,

which every year we
select a specific

ornament that's special.

And every ornament
has a story behind it.

Hey Victoria.

Hi.

Oh, um, I just
wanted to apologize

for all the noise.

Peace offering.

I'm more of a tea
drinker, but thank you.

Well, I'm almost done with
my construction project,

so the noise should get better.

Hmm.

Is your rooster gonna
be off the job too?

Hi, Mr. Gavin. I'm making
something new for you.

Oh. You know, I love the
rooster that you gave me.

You know what? It's
actually in my kitchen.

- It is.
- Yeah, definitely. Yeah.

You could come check
it out sometime.

Well, not without me. Okay.

I, I'd love to have
you both over get

to know the neighbors
kind of thing.

I could show you my
Home to Heart's, "Fix
it up" Competition.

She does not
like Home to Heart.

Ummmm...

Ah, that's because they,
they charge way too much

for something I could
make for way Less.

I thought they
just did TV shows.

Oh yeah. It's a
local competition.

You fix up one
area in your house

and the angle is eco-friendly
and the winner gets $25,000

and chance be featured
on an episode.

Maybe you should
do the competition?

- No, no.
- Yeah. I, I could help.

I I don't, I don't
want random people in

my personal life.

I thought that's what
you do on social media.

Tell people about
your, your life.

That's, because I'm an
Influencer. It's different.

It's curated. I can decide
what I put up and what I do...

You know, actually,
I, I have to get back

to work right now
anyway, so thank you

so much for stopping by.

- I appreciate this gesture.
- Bye. Bye.

I told you I can
do it by myself, Mom.

I know you can,

but you know, sometimes
it doesn't hurt

to ask for a little help.

Well, you never
ask for help, mommy.

So do you know what you
want for Christmas yet? I

I can't tell my
Christmas wish,

it won't come true, you know?

Okay. Well maybe
you can tell Santa

I am telling
Jesus every Sunday.

I'm giving him a try first.

Okay, well, Jesus
better hurry up then

because Christmas is
only a few weeks away.

That's not funny mom. My
Christmas wish is cereal.

I think you mean "serious".

That's what I said.

God,
please have my mom

see I'm big girl now

and not worry about the
broken boards in our house.

It's given us constitution.

"Character".

That's what I said. And thank
you from my Christmas wish.

Amen.

- Amen.
- Okay, let's get you to sleep. Okay.

Take those from you.

Ugh.

Cock-a-doodle-do!

Cock-a-doodle-do!

Cock-a-doodle-do!

Go away!

Shoo!

Rooster...

Go, go, go....go away!

Why are you here?

Hello?

Gavin?

Do you know what time it is?

Yeah, it's like
10:29 to be exact.

- Mom, you're up.
- Charlie, what are you doing here?

I didn't want to wake
you. I just want to
say "Hi" to Mr. Gavin.

You know, you're not
allowed to leave without

telling me.

Oh, But Mr.

Gavin gave us these eggs.

Yeah. She's been such
a good helper. I'm sorry.

I thought you knew she was here.

I wouldn't have let
her hang around if

You can't be using
these power tools

with a child running around.

I'm not a child mom.

I was just cutting
the last board

and I've been keeping
an eye on her.

I promise. Did you
come through my bushes?

- No. No.
- Mom look it's all

Self.

Yeah. The whole garden
is self-sustaining

and eco-friendly, right?

Yes. The chicken
poop feeds the garden.

And oh, what feeds the fish?

Well, the algae feeds the
fish. You're doing a great job.

Yes. And what else
do you remember?

The plants feed each other.

Cool. Why don't you run home

and I'll make us
some breakfast. Okay?

- With these eggs mom?
- Sure. We can use those eggs.

Best morning ever.

Look, there are
a few things...

I'm really sorry.

I thought you knew she was here,

and um, you know, I
don't have any kids,

so I dunno what the rules are.

Okay. Thank you.

You know, she just
thinks she can do a

lot more than she can.

And I just, I wanna
keep her safe.

And thank you for the eggs.
That's very nice of you.

Welcome. And she's welcome
anytime, anytime that
you give her permission.

- Okay.
- And use the archway on the way out.

Keep going.

- Yup.
- Through the archway.

Got it.

Say hello, thank you,
thank you, hello everyone!

Hey y'all!

Hey. Hit me. Gimme some, gimme
some, gimme some love. Hey.

Oh, sure, sure. Here we
go. Say "Home to Heart"!

"Home to Heart"!
Thank you. Thank you.

Joy to the world,

the Lord has come.

Let Earth receive her King.

Let every heart prepare Him room

Oh, stop me at Lewis

and I ever start wearing
matching sweaters.

- Aw, I think it's cute.
- Hey you!

Hi.

Hi. How are you?

It's been so long.

Hey. How are you?

Whoa whoa.

This should be interesting.

Charlie?

Mr. Gavin's working,
let's not...

Victoria.

It's so good to see you.

Hey.

I didn't know you
know each other.

Well. Since our
cheerleading days.

You are dropped my
mom and broke her ankle.

Oh, I'm sure. That was
a long time ago, Charlie.

Actually, I told Victoria

that she should do
your competition.

Oh,

That would be so fun.

But, I'm sure
you're too busy with

that Gram thing of
yours. How's that going?

- Great. Great.
- She works on it all the time. I'm very proud.

Well, the competition
would be incredible

exposure for The Front Porch.

The winners are chosen
from about 2.4 million Home

to Heart followers.

We had an influencer
on our last show

that now has over a hundred thousand followers.
- Well,

Not everyone has those

- Results.
- But sweetie, it could happen.

Honey.

Charlie just said
that she's busy.

- I'll do it.
- Really, mom?

Yeah. Yeah.

Alright, well gimme some!
Talk to it. Talk to it.

All right! Yeah!

Okay. So now we have to let
that sit for a few minutes

and hopefully it
should peel right off.

Fingers crossed.

Shoot.

Hate that board.

Okay. Okay.

Okay. Here we go. Big moment.

All right. Well, some of
it's peeling off, but it's,

I fixed my room so I can
help you now. Sorry Mommy.

It's, it's okay. It's okay.

I'm gonna... I'm not mad at you.

That stupid stuff
didn't work anyway.

- You said stupid.
- I did. My bad.

It's okay.

- Need some help?
- No, no. I'm, I'm good. Really?

This, this is, this
is magic. Trust me.

I wore mine out stripping from
the paper at my house. Oh and

Ah start with this one.

Okay, cool. Great. Thanks.

You sure you don't
want me to like,

come in, show you how it's done.

We can turn on some music
and make it a party.

Yeah.

I appreciate the offer,
but thank you. Really?

I, I, I got it.

Yeah. Now I got it.

- Still working on the house.
- I am. Sorry, pumpkin.

But I promise I'll be at
church on Christmas Eve

to see your pageant.

Pastor Tiffany!

Hey. Oh wow.

You got a big project
going girl.

Yeah. Yeah.

I kind of wish you weren't
seeing it like this.

I fixed up plenty of houses
in my day. You ready, Charlie?

Yes.

I almost forgot the
deposit is due today

for the costumes.

Right.Yeah. Yeah. I
meant to tell you.

I decided to make Charlie's
costume.

Oh?!

Really Mom? can I see
it?

When it's done. Yeah.

Don't make Pastor
Tiffany late, okay?

Also, I was hoping that
Charlie would provide us

with some ornaments for our

Christmas tree
down at the church?

Sure. Yeah.

So these ornaments,

they'll go on the tree Christmas
Eve right before service.

I really love that idea. Yeah.

Well, I look forward to
Charlie's costume.

Me too.

Okay, let's go.

Voila!

I learned this amazing
super easy trick on how

to get your wallpaper
off in just one try.

Perfect.

Uh, oh...

You okay?

Yeah. Yeah. It's just

kind of twisted my weak ankle.

It's just this old injury.

- Yeah. Cheerleading I heard.
- Yeah.

Thank you.

How's wallpapering
coming along?

It's good. It worked.
Thank you for the tip.

- Welcome. Anytime.
- So it's a bigger

project than I
expected it to be.

First time doing a reno
can be overwhelming

and having a little help, helps.

Yeah. My, my,

my dad was always really
good at fixing things.

and I used to love helping him

around the house. In a weird way

you, ah, kind of remind
me of him a little bit.

- Is he still alive?
- Oh, no, no, no.

It's just, it's
just me and Charlie

and an ex who
shall not be named.

- Oh, I know Buddy.
- What?

We're in the same business.

Buddy would tell us that he
was gonna be a star in Europe,

but we all knew we had
a family in New Hope.

I heard you yelling on the
phone to "Buddy" the other day

and put two and two together.

No, really. I, I got it.

- I can.
- I'm happy to help.

No. Please.

Stop. Please. I...

Just rest your ankle.

It's fine. It's fine.

You aren't breaking any rules.

Neighbors are
allowed to help you.

Let's go. Good job. That's it.

Thank you!

You just like you like.

Hey.

Hey!

Whooo! Dippity, dip dip.

Whoooooo!

Yeah!!!

- Good job.
- Yeah.

I'm gonna win.

- Hello.
- Look out your window.

Are you spying on me?

No, no, no. I saw you there.

Not like watching
you or anything.

Hmmmm.

Did you fix my floorboards?

Maybe.

Thank you.

You are welcome. So
what are you gonna do

with your time now that
you've finished the project?

I, I don't really know.

What are you gonna do
with all your time?

Well, I was hoping
that maybe you

and Charlie would
come over for dinner?

- Oh
- Yeah.

Neighborly. You
know? Of course,

Of course.

Yeah. Yeah. We, we would,
we would, we would love to.

Tomorrow.

- Okay.
- Alright.

Well, would you mind closing the

blinds and stop peeking on me?

I wasn't, I wasn't watching.

Night.

Goodnight.

I am gonna love you forever.

Don't cry. Don't be afraid.

Not even death
could separate us.

Our love was heaven-made.

Wow. I like this in my room.

Haha. Well, I think we
could probably work on that.

This is spectacular. Wow.

Glad you like it. You're
my first official guests.

Smells pretty amazing too.

Oh, I've lived
here long enough

to know how to make a brisket.

You know, this
accent might be funny

Australian accent, but I'm
Texan through and through.

Come on, sit down. You are the
head of the table, my friend.

Okay. So special. Wow.

Have you come up with
your Christmas list yet

Charlie 'cause I remember
when I was your age,

I would circle everything
in the Toys For Me catalog.

What's Toys For Me?

You know, they actually
closed years ago.

Isn't that so sad?

- What? No! - I know.
- They had the best jingle.

I don't wanna grow old.

I wanna stay young forever young

Forever young and free.
Need more toys for me!

I do wanna grow up, but
my wish isn't for a toy.

Oh. Oh, well, okay.

Well, can you tell me what
your Christmas wish is?

I can't tell you my Christmas
wish. It won't come true.

Hey, Charlie, do you
wanna give Gavin the

gift that you made him now?

- Yeah.
- Wow.

Did you make this out of the
leftover scraps of my wood?

Yes. And mom helped
me cut out the letters.

It is beautiful. Thank you.

Okay, well we
should get going.

It's almost someone's bedtime.

Mom, I don't want
this night to end.

Me too. And you know what?

I actually have something
that I've been saving for you.

I changed the strings
of my guitar last night

and I thought you could put
them in your craft supply.

- Wow. Thank you.
- Oh,

Aren't you a hit?

Okay, pumpkin. Let's go.
I'll take that for you.

Thank you to Mr. Gavin
for having us over.

You are welcome.

Thank you again.

Yeah, it was really nice.

You took off the lid?

It didn't go likes this.

I'm so happy Pastor
Tiffany included our kids.

Yeah. Our babies with
superpowers are gonna have the

best ornaments on the tree.

You know, Charlie has made

so many crafts for
Gavin at this point,

it's getting a little
bit embarrassing.

So?

So?

When are you gonna tell us?

There's not really
a whole lot to tell.

I, I mean, he's, he's great.

He's talented and he
cooks really well.

You know, I actually
actually like his music.

You like his music?

He cooks?

What?

I wouldn't have done the
competition without him.

He's been really helpful.
So that's a great thing. Oh.

Oh, right Home to Heart
announces the winners next week

Right?

Jill?

- Focus.
- Sorry.

We want to hear
about the romance.

Don't you think it's
time you, you did something

for your love life?
-And the drought!

Well, I, I appreciate
your concern on that front,

but I'm good.

We live next door. I, I

I don't want things
to get messy.

- Oh, okay.Okay. I got this.
- Goodness.

- I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to.
- It's okay, hun.

Yeah. Go get the broom.

Okay guys, come and help
everybody come and help.

This works. See? Yeah.

See, messy can be
beautiful sometimes. Okay.

- Oh, hi.
- Hey,

I, I just wanted to
return these tools.

I didn't think
you'd be back here.

- Thanks. And did you wanna stay for a drink?
- Ummmm.

Charlie can come
over if you want.

Oh, I just, I
just put her to bed.

Oh, well it's
actually perfect.

If you've got a
second, take a seat

and I'll, I wanna
show you something.

I, that one.

Thanks for sticking
around. Cheers!

Thank you.

- To us.
- To us?

Yeah. That one of us
wins the competition.

Oh yeah. I do hope
one of us wins. Cheers!

So I just wanted to
get your thoughts on

this song that I
wrote for Charlie.

- You wrote a song for Charlie?
- Yeah.

This world needs
more of who you are.

You shine when the day is gray.

More of who you are. You
laugh all the clouds away.

You light the night of this

dark soul

with everything you

do.

Can't get enough.
Need more of you.

What do you think?

I think she's gonna love it.

Thanks. I was

thinking I could give it to
her for her Christmas present.

Just if she'd tell us

what she wanted on her
Christmas wish I'd,

I'd, I'd get it for her.

- But maybe she'll like that.
- Yeah.

I I think it's perfect.
Beautiful. Actually.

Well, thank you for this.

Welcome. Oh, oh, you okay?

Next time?

Maybe you can also
show me, which,

which room in your house you
fixed up for the competition.

You're standing in it.

That's not good enough.

How do I build a
self-sustaining fireplace?

This is Victoria.

Hello. Hey darling, this
is Jackie Zinn calling.

How are you? I'm sorry
I'm calling so late.

It's just that I
work all the time.

Oh, that's no problem Ms Zinn.

No, no, no, no. Call
me Jackie sweetheart.

So listen, I have been
following you for the last month

and I am very impressed
with The Front Porch

and your posts for the Home

to Heart competition.
Simply divine.

Wow. Thank you so much.

So, I am going to be
in Dallas next week,

and I was thinking we
could get together just

for a little bite and we
can discuss how I'm going

to make you Queen
of the Influencers.

Huh? What do you say about that?

That would be great.
Yes. I look forward to it.

All right. Call you soon.

So you don't
cut down the tree?

- No, we decorate it
- And then you leave it here.

Yeah. It's a, it's
a New Hope tradition.

You decorate a tree in
honor of a loved one.

And you can do that anywhere.

Pretty much. Yeah. Yeah.
But we like this spot, right?

- Yes.
- Why don't you hand me some of the tinsel.

So we'll get started. So this
year we're decorating this

tree in honor of Nana
and she loved her silver.

- I can see that.
- I'll take that.

Well, thanks for including me.

It was mom's idea.

Mr. Gavin, can you
help me get up there?

Sure.

Wow. It's so beautiful.

- It looks so good.
- You did such a good job. Yeah. Yes.

- Hey, can you take a picture of us?
- Oh, sure. Yeah.

It's part of the tradition.

I like to post a picture as
a Christmas card on the Gram.

- Of course.
- Okay. Ready?

- That's it.
- Mom, can

we take a photo with Mr.

Gavin, please?

Sure. Yeah, of course. Yeah.

Okay.

Yeah, sure. Okay. Ready?
Let's do a selfie then. Ready?

1, 2, 3.

- Ah, cheese.
- Cheese. Okay. A funny one. Maybe. Oh.

Oh, these are so cute.

Mom when am I

getting my own Gram?

You're not old enough yet,
so maybe a little while.

But Mom, I want host
pics just like you.

Well, you can "post
pics" when you're older.

What is this behind your ear?

Oh, Christmas tree.
Oh, Christmas tree.

How lovely are thy

- Branches
- In summer high

Come on, and winter
snow. A coat of green.

You always show.
Oh Christmas tree.

How lovely are thy branches?

This was so fun.

It is so great to see where
you make all your magic.

Yeah. I do
appreciate you coming.

So do you really think I can
make six figures that quickly?

Oh, absolutely.
I have the perfect

sponsors for your brand.

You do a couple posts
for them each month.

You're gonna be sitting pretty.

Wow. This is,
it's very exciting.

Mom, can I come out now?

Yeah honey.

We're done with all the
boring business talk now.

You gonna make my mom lots

of money so we can
keep Nana's house?

- What was that sweetheart?
- Hi.

Hi. Oh, - Am I? Am
I, am I, am I late? But

Oh, depending if that's

what you're wearing into
the bond dance or not.

Yep. I am ready when you are.
Jackie. That this is Gavin.

- Yes. Gavin Gardner. So nice to meet you.
- Jackie

flew in from New York to talk
to me about The Front Porch.

Yes. Well, because I
know a star when I see one.

You know, I would love to get
my mitts on your social media.

Ooh, that's not my
style, but thank you.

Well, you know, the
Vicki's video post

with you and Charlie,

that's what gave me
the shove that I needed

to come down here and check out

what was going on in
Little New New Hope.

New New Hope. New hope.

I, I didn't know that. Oh,

Yeah.

All the three of you dance
around Gavin's music.

It was wonderful.

I I thought you were supposed

to get people's
permission to post.

No, no. That's
not how it works.

I didn't know it would
get so much attention.

- It's no worries.
- Mr.

Gavin, can you help
me put my boots on?

Of course.

Come on.

She knows how to
do that on her own.

- She's such a lovely girl.
- My little angel. Yeah.

So, you know, my biggest
client is only 12 years old.

Have you ever considered
possibly letting

Charlie have her own account?

- No.
- Well, you know, I would be willing

to take her on along with
you. Just try it out.

I just, I don't think
she's ready for that.

Well, there are
several sponsors looking

for the right child influencer,
living with disabilities.

It could mean more income.

- I'll think about it.
- Yeah.

Up on housetop, reindoor
paw.

Out jumps good ol' Santa Claus.

Down through
the chimney with lots of toys.

A part of the little
ones Christmas joy.

Ho Ho Ho! Who wouldn't go.
Ho Ho Ho! Who wouldn't go.

Up on the housetop,
click click click!

Down through the chimney
with good St. Nick.

Play it Santa!

Everyone get back,

- Baby.
- I mean, I

literally can't
take him anywhere.

Baby.

You guys.

Excuse me ladies.

I just need to check if my
girl can dance the two step..

Have fun.

Do you really think that
Texas girl can't

dance the two step?

I wasn't sure.

I thought you were gonna
talk to friends all night.

So you were a little
bit jealous then?

No?

Pretty good.

I read a book.

Excuse me, kind, sir.

- Do you mind if I cut in?
- I was here first. -I'm so sorry.

but it's kind of our song.
- I'll dance with you later?

Thank you.

He can dance.

So tomorrow night?

- Maybe. -Maybe.
- Maybe.

If, if I'm gonna take
Charlie for a sleepover,

you better make good
use of your time.

I would.

This isn't a one
time thing for me.

No?

No.

My old life wasn't conducive

to settling down. My
music was everything.

You don't have
to talk about that.

I I want you to know,

I spent most of my life on the
road and then I got married

and I wasn't a good
husband. And family,

even the notion of family,
was something I ran away from.

And then I met Charlie

and you, I had the chance

for family once and I lost it.

And I don't wanna screw this up.

You don't have to
talk about the past.

Want to come inside?

You agreed to
that. I thought you

said that she was too young.

I, I changed my mind.

Look, I know that's
probably not my place,

but Charlie is too
good hearted for that.

- So, so what does that make me then cold hearted?
- No,

No, no.

That's not what I'm
saying. Are you sure?

- Yes.
- I, I think this is a

Mistake.

No, no. I just want
what's best for Charlie.

- And you think I don't?
- Of course you do. No.

You, you don't understand

how many pressures I have
and how difficult it is.

Well then tell me, let me in.

I don't have to do that

Gavin.

We were fine before we met you.

- Yeah. - Think of it?
- Probably not.

Not surprising.
Seriously worried.

I'm gonna lose all
my a exotics. Oh. Oh.

I don't want it to be
like the last freeze.

Remember we didn't have water

and electricity
for about a week.

I remember that.
Ugh. Vicki, you okay?

Oh, I think somebody didn't
get much sleep last night.

Do tell.

- We are dying to hear all about it.
- Uh oh, what happened?

Gavin seemed like
such a great guy.

Yeah, he comes
across that way.

Oh, and he's
wonderful with Charlie.

That's kind of the problem.

He seems to care more about
her than he does about me.

- Oh, I doubt that.
- It doesn't matter.

You know, Charlie and I
have been fine on our own.

We don't need a man.

We know. We just, we
thought you might want one.

Why would I want one? All
men are exactly the same.

Oh. Oh, Victoria, I
heard that. All right.

Lemme tell you. Not all
men are exactly the same.

I'm an original Jill.
Drop the beat. Nevermind. I

am one of a kind.

Baby, baby, baby.

- One of a kind. Feel that. What?
- Mixed company babe.

- Mixed company. Jill knows.
- Bye.

Okay. I will admit that
one is pretty special.

Yes. He ah, he sets
the bar real high.

But the fact is, men need us.

They don't come put together
men. It took me, what?

Five years to get Louis trained.

Go New Hope Hawks. Go,
go, go. New Hope Hawks.

Go, go, go, go, go onto Victory.

Fight! Fight! Go!

- Never got mine trained.
- At least he can sing.

Oh he can.

But seriously, we thought
Gavin was one of the good ones.

Kind heart. Oh, hot body.

You've gotta give him another

chance.

Yeah.

Come on in.

Hey bud. Good to see
you. Yeah. Welcome.

Hi Mr Gavin.

Hey, I wanna talk to you.

Hey Charlie, - Who is that
lady carrying a big instrument?

Well, she's a musician.

We're gonna jam to some
Christmas music tonight.

It might get a little
loud, but let your mom

know that it won't
be too late. Okay?

- Okay. Can I come though?
- I wish you could.

- Okay,
- Gotta go. I'm sorry.

I'm alive once again
for this lonely drifter.

Don't close the door...

Door, to your heart.
Let me inside,

Buddy?

- Hey, Vicki.
- Hey. No, no, no, no. -Okay.

What are you doing here?

Well, you said not to
call unless I had money.

So bring it by in person.

Hey peanut, look
what I got for you.

Thanks. Look, I got crap box.

- It's "craft" Charlie.
- Wanna come and see it?

No. Charlie. No.

Oh.Hey. Wow.
That's so cool. Yeah.

That's awesome. Hey,
it's been a while.

Yep. Small world. Hey,
you're living next to my family.

He is the best
neighbor ever. Okay.

- Is that so?
- Yup.

Okay. Moving in on my girls?

You mean, the
ones you abandoned?

You know a lot about that.

No, no. Don't you dare

Gavin!

How did you do that?

- It was an accident.
- You okay?

- Yeah. Yeah.
- I think I pulled a muscle.

Let's just, let's
just get you inside.

We'll put some ice on it.

I didn't think you
were ever coming back.

Told you I just
needed some time.

Did you tell Charlie that her
dad's single is number

one in Germany?

- Wow.
- I know, right? Tell you.

Seeing your posts of another guy

with his arms around you two,

it hurt me. I miss you.

- Why did you say that?
- Because I do miss you. -No,

why did you say
that to Gavin outside?

You don't know?

What?

Well, he left his wife in,

in a delicate situation.

No, no. He, he wouldn't
do something like that.

Look it up.

Mom,

we need to ask Mr. Gavin.

Look, I I just
want to fresh start.

I wanna make our
family my priority.

Just gimme a chance, Vicky.

- I don't know what to say right now.
- You don't

say anything.

Just keep your mind
open to it. Okay.

When I saw what you have
going with that agent,

it really opened my eyes.

And maybe I could get
the same thing going

for me right here in New Hope.

You mean you would stay.

Let's just say that
money is just the start.

Welcome to our Home to
Heart Christmas Festival.

We will be announcing
our Fix It Up

bit nervous. - Why?

You couldn't be
cuter if you tried.

Mr. Gavin!

- Where's Charlie?
- Oh, she was checking out her Gram page.

Did you show her this? Hey!

Did you show her this?

Yes. Dear.

Whoa! Um rude.

- Have you seen Charlie?
- No.

She was just playing with
the kids a little bit ago.

- Are you okay hon?
- I can't find her anywhere.

- How did the Ornament party go?
- Have you seen Charlie?

No, I'm sorry.

- Hey y'all. Hey
- Y'all. So good to see you.

Thanks for coming
out. If you're having a

good time, can I hear

Yep, yep! Yep, Yep!

Yeah. That was so loud. Yeah.

Welcome to our annual Home

to Heart Christmas
competition in New Hope.

We are so proud to be a
part of this community.

Yeah, we are. When we started
renovating houses 10 years

ago, we had no idea

our little TV show would
put New Hope on the map.

That's right. But we
wanted to give back to y'all

with our first Christmas
Fix It Up competition only

for New Hope residents.

Only for y'all. Now,

all the projects this year
have been absolutely amazing.

Yes. And you voted for them.

We tallied up all
the votes via social

media and we have a winner.

This is very
exciting. Okay, who won?

The winner of our first
annual competition is

Gavin Gardner!
Congratulations.

So proud of you.
Congratulations.
-Thank you. Yeah.

Gosh. Wow. I'm honored.

And it's been amazing
getting to know this town

and all of you have
been so welcoming.

And I can just tell
that this is going to be

Victoria, are you okay?

- I can't find Charlie.
- Okay.

Wait, everyone, Charlie's
missing. You might know her.

She's a 10-year-old girl
living with Down syndrome.

She's wearing a red
coat and glasses.

Please help us find
her and spread out and,

and look for her please. Thanks.

Please. We'll, we'll,
we'll, we'll help

Charlie!

Charlie!

- Charlie!
- Charlie!

Charlie, Charlie!

- Charlie!
- Charlie!

My daughter is missing

and I need any help
I can get right now.

Her name is Charlie
and she is the

sweetest 10-year-old
you would ever meet.

You've seen her in a lot
of my, my recent posts

actually foolishly just
gave her her own Gram page.

Jackie, if you're
watching, you are fired.

If anyone has seen Charlie
or knows where she might be

or has any, any, any
information at all,

please send me a message.

Did she just fire me?

I have never been fired.

Charlie!

Mom!

I'm so glad you're okay.

Oh,

Mom, I need some air.

Oh, honey, I was
so worried about

you.

I didn't mean to get lost. I was

That's okay.

Did you read that comment
on your post? I'm so sorry.

I don't want to social media.

Okay. I know. You don't
have to. Okay. I promise.

Never again.

That was scary huh?

Yeah.

I am ready to tell
you my Christmas wish now.

My Christmas wish
is to have a dad.

Oh, honey, that's,
that's not how it works.

Is the perfect time for you

to pert pose to
my mom, Mr. Gavin

Pert pose?

Propose.

- Vicki, I...
- Charlie, Gavin decided a long time ago,

he doesn't wanna be a dad.

I made this for you. From
your old guitar strings.

Mom, me and dad.

Well, it's a, it's a
beautiful ornament, Charlie.

Um

I can't accept this how
you would like me to,

but at least we are friends.

I made it for you.
I want you have it.

Means a lot, Charlie.

- Not enough.
- Listen,

whatever you heard,
it's not true.

Gavin,

stop.

Okay.

- Did you find her?
- Yes. Thank you. -Thank goodness.

What a crazy day.
Congratulations, by
the way. -Thank you.

- Congrats. -Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.

Do it, man. Hey, I love
you, man. Why'd you do it?

I heard you left your wife
and kids. Was it drugs? Alcohol?

- It's none of your business.
- Oh,

it's definitely our business.

You write all these love
songs, but you're a poser.

You're a fraud. Not my child.

Alright, why didn't
you check your facts

instead of making up trash?

Oh, did you catch that?
Because she got pregnant

while I was on tour.

You said, and I
quote, "I wanna make
my family a priority."

- I'm a jerk.
- Yeah, you are.

- Is she there?
- Where are you?

I I thought I could do it.

I did. I got a
last minute gig in

NYC, so I took the
first flight out.

You, you left when
Charlie was missing.

Jackie and I looked
for her. We did.

But we saw on your post
that you found her.

So I thought it would
be okay that I left.

It'd be okay if you left.

It's Christmas Eve
tomorrow, Buddy.

I know. Is she there?

Did you know that Gavin's wife

cheated on him when
he was on tour?

- Is that the story?
- Did you know that?

- I heard rumors.
- So you intentionally misled me.

Isn't that your thing?
Not telling the whole truth.

Pretending everything
is perfect.

Buddy.

I'm not mad. I don't hate you.

I just, I just really,
really wanna laugh

again.

I hope you find what
you're looking for.

Hey, everyone, I really,
really wanna thank all of you

who helped me find
Charlie today.

She's back home safe. Thank God.

You know, I, I like to think

that I can fix
everything on my own.

And I'm starting to realize that

that really is part
of the problem.

I put so much energy into
making everything look perfect

and creating this perfect image.

But the truth is my life,
my life is falling apart.

I'll show you,

Of course the front
porch always looks great,

but the second you walk
in, you'll see that I'm,

I'm sleeping here.

That's my bed. And it's,
it's in the living room.

The only usable bedroom
is one Charlie has.

And in fact, none of my
friends have even been into

to this house because I'm
just, I'm so embarrassed.

And I, I don't, I don't want
them to know how we're living.

This bathroom is
the one that we use.

It's, I mean, it's,
it's barely functioning.

It just barely works.

And that bathroom isn't even
the worst one in the house.

This one is.

But, the truth is,
there's this house is

so beyond repair.

And every single
room that I was,

there's no way I could
possibly get all of it.

And this is my kitchen.

This is Nana's stove
from the seventies.

I think only one of the
burners works now. Our

cabinets are all falling apart.

They don't close anymore.

The kitchen is just, it's barely

functioning just
like everything else.

And the worst part about
all of this is that

I can't even afford to keep
this place, let alone fix it up.

This, it absolutely
breaks my heart,

but there isn't
anything I can do.

So for now on, what I'm gonna
do is I'm gonna be real.

I'm not gonna pretend that
everything is perfect,

because it clearly isn't.

And a lot of you might not
like this real version of me.

And if you don't, you
can feel free to unfollow

after everything
that happened today,

I, this is just
what I have to do.

Merry Christmas.

I am so proud of you.
We saw your live stream.

- Yeah, thank you.
- So when are you having us over?

I was thinking maybe
next year, so like a week.

Put it on that one with the
light. Santa's coming tonight.

I'm not getting my
Christmas wish tonight.

Oh, well my mom told me

that it might snow.
That's exciting.

Yeah, I guess.

Hey girls, come on. Let's
go. Everyone's heading in.

Let's go.

A bright star lit the heavens

to light the Magi's way

To the baby on this manger

Born on this Christmas day.

Charlie, you're up.

And all who gathered
around him rejoiced

and praise, his
birth named the babe.

The king named Jesus is
our Savior on this earth.

Fall on your knees.

Oh hear, the

angels voices.

Oh, night

divine.

O' night divine.

Thank you Aaron.

Thank you brother
Aaron. Amen. Amen.

I know you all already
get outta here, but

before we go, I was hoping
that we could all sing one

of my favorite Christmas carols.

Silent Night. Can
we do that? Okay.

Y'all take your candles out
for me. Would you please?

Silent Night.

Holy Night.

All is calm.

All is bright.

Round young virgin
mother and child.

Holy infant so tender and mild.

Sleep in heavenly peace.

Sleep in heavenly peace.

Amen.

- Have you seen Gavin Gardner?
- No, I haven't.

Merry Christmas -Merry
Christmas. Honey,
I'll be right back.

- Okay, -Victoria. -Hi.
- Merry Christmas.

- Merry Christmas.
- Sorry

to bother you with
business on Christmas Eve.

Is this yours?

I made it from Mr. Gavin's
old guitar strings.

- Wow.
- So you made that. Well, it's very special.

Well, I'm sure Charlie's

very happy to have
it back. Thanks.

No, I'm not.

Okay. Sorry. Merry

Christmas.

But actually, we'd like to
talk to you about the ornament.

Home to Heart designs an
annual Christmas ornament

inspired by unique stories.

We saw Charlie's crafts

and we'd like to use
her design next year.

If you would allow us.

And we'll pay of course.

I, What? What do you
mean you'll, you'll pay?

Well, does 15% of
sales work for y'all?

15. But you, you must sell
a lot of ornaments, right?

We do. We all at the Bullseye.

Yeah. I mean, I think we did

around 1.5 million
last year, right?

Oh, - Well y'all think
about it and get back to us.

- Alright.
- Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Honey. Your ornament is
gonna save Nana's house!

But Mr. Gavin didn't like it.

Charlie!

I wanted to give you, your
Christmas present.

I didn't just write
a song for Charlie.

When I look into your
eyes, I see tomorrow.

Thought these dreams
are dead and gone.

What have you done?

Hope's alive once again
for the lonely drifter.

Don't close the door to
your heart. Let me inside.

It's cold out here. Come in.

I should have told you the
whole story about my ex-wife.

I should have just asked you.

I'm better when I'm with you,

but not like
perfect or anything.

But definitely
better. I need you.

Need me?

Well, I want you.

This is really nice

But,

I worked really hard on my song.

- Can I play for you?
- Yes,

of course.

Hi, Charlie. Morning,
honey. Merry Christmas.

I want to come home.

That's all I want for Christmas

To have you in my arms,

is my wish come true.

Baby, can I stay?

Let's make this
forever. Because at the

end of the day, I want
to come home to you.

I believe again
in love that lasts

a lifetime.

A rooster!

Girl you got a way to
make it all seem new.

My heart's got scars but
it's yours for the taking.

It's not much, but all
I am I give to you.

And I don't care
how long it takes.

I wanna be with you
on Christmas day.

Can we gather round
the fireplace?

I want to come home.

That's all I want for
Christmas. To have you

arms is my wish

come true. Baby can I stay?

Let's make this forever.

Cause at the end of the
day, I wanna come home

to you.

Holiday crafts are so
fun to do with the kids.

So tomorrow I'm gonna show
you more crafts you can do

with your 8 to 11 year olds.

Thanks for joining me on

My Messy Life.

- Wow! Isn't it cool Mom?
- It's very cool.

- Yeah.
- Sorry,

was I too loud?

- No, not at all.
- Mom.

Max asked if I can come over.

Sure. Yeah. I'll
just grab my coat

and we'll, we'll
walk over together.

Can I go by myself
this time Mom.

I don't know.

You've you've never
done that before.

We counted seven
blocks. We counted it.

Ummmm, I don't know.

Why don't you ask your dad?

Can I?

Yes.

When I look into your
eyes, I see tomorrow

thought these dreams
are dead and gone.

What have you done?

Hopes alive once again
for the lonely drifter.

Don't close the to your
heart. Let me inside.

I want to come home.

It's all I want for
Christmas. To have you in arms

arms is my wish come true.

Baby, can I stay?
