My parents divided everything else up in the divorce

why not the holidays.

- Hey Annie. - Is that Vintage?

It is.

So you talked to mom?

You were supposed to talk to Dad before the holidays

about your boyfriend.

He blocked me.

So... where is he?

This is my boyfriend, Evan.

Hey everybody.

[Linda and Evan laughing]

[tender music]

[loud thud]

You better watch out, I'm a pillow fighting master.

[laughing] I'll get you.

[laughing] I'll get you.

[laughing]

I can't remember the last time I had a pillow fight.

I can't remember the last time I lost one.

Stop it.

[tense music]

After you.

No, please.

Uh... I know how it is when you're getting old.

Well, what I... what I mean is I know...

you know, when my dad...

[sighs]

You... you first.

Uh...

♪

How could my mom forget to mention

her new boyfriend is so...

Handsome? Charismatic?

Young.

And how did she think it was okay to bring him...

at the holidays?

Maybe because we said it would be okay.

Ow...

That was before we knew the whole story.

I know. But you gotta admit, she does look happy.

[giggling]

Why don't you throw that old thing away?

Ah, I can't throw this one out until I get a new one.

Well you've got plenty of time.

[Linda giggling]

Stop! Good morning.

Namaste.

You're doing yoga again?

I don't know why I ever stopped.

Oh my God, something smells incredible.

What is that?

Jennifer's favorite. Pumpkin gingerbread pancakes.

I used to make them for her every December

when she was a little girl.

And then Linda taught me the recipe

so I could carry on the tradition.

You're gonna have to let me in on that tradition too.

Save me some?

I have to hop on this Zoom in a few.

Litigation doesn't take a holiday, right Dad?

That's why you made partner.

Did I ever tell you how Evan and I met?

Skydiving. I finally did it.

You jumped out of a plane?

Mmhmm.

That's incredible, Linda.

Yeah, she might be the bravest tandem I ever had, actually.

That's awesome, Grandma.

Thank you, baby.

So, what are we doing?

We're sledding, ice skating, skiing?

It is Christmas vacation, right?

Well it's not a vacation for us yet.

Max and I get to build a booth for the Holiday Stroll.

Max has made us very proud.

He and a friend, every year, set up a booth.

Free gift wrapping for anyone

who donates a toy to a child in need.

Way to go, Max. That's cool.

Thanks Evan.

First up is the hardware store.

Then we got a full day of building and painting planned.

Why don't you let me get started on that

while you're out?

I love the way you just dive into everything.

[giggles]

Stop it.

Do you have any carpentry experience?

No but I build things all the time.

Assembling Ikea furniture is not building.

I'll take care of the booth.

Why don't you both build it?

Great idea, Max!

Many hands make for light work.

Hmm.

It wouldn't be the holidays

if you didn't have your annual treat.

Jen...

I know I should've told you more about Evan.

I was just worried that if I told you about

the age difference you wouldn't give him- give us a chance.

You may have been right.

Maybe a part of me isn't really ready for you to date yet.

No matter how old he is. But I will keep an open mind.

Are we going to have any mother daughter time this holiday?

Not much.

I don't even have time for date nights anymore.

Work is pretty much 24/7.

Hmm. Well. I understand.

But Jen, you have got to make time for your relationship.

Mike still needs you more than your clients do

and you better believe that.

Mike is very supportive of my new position.

And with him in charge

everything in the house is running smoothly, so...

[crashing sound]

- Oh! - Oh!!

Oh God. What is that?

What a mess.

Oh, no.

You know I didn't do that on purpose.

It's not like it can't be put back together.

You fractured the support beam.

Oh my goodness!

The support beam needed to be stabilized.

With a bracket not a dozen screws.

What happened?

I said follow the blueprint

but mister "shoot from the hip" over here...

If I'd listened to him, it never would've gotten done.

It would've been done correctly.

Dad, don't get upset.

I'm good, baby.

I am sorry but it is really hard to work with someone

who is so... set in their ways.

You're telling me.

It's even harder to work with someone

too young to know what he doesn't know.

We'll fix it in time for the Stroll, I promise.

Let's hit the reset button.

As Evan said, it's Christmas vacation.

What can we do that's fun?

What about broomball?

We used to enter the tournament every year.

Why'd we stop?

Grandpa's knee started to bother him.

Hey, hey, hey.

Max, Grandpa's knees are fine.

I've never heard of broomball.

Broomball it is.

Just think of field hockey but with a broom.

Alright.

I'll take goalie.

Thank you.

[Linda] You put in your arch supports?

[Robert] Oh, you don't have to worry about me.

I put them in this morning.

- Good luck. - Good luck.

Thanks guys.

Welcome to the annual holiday broomball tournament!

[cheering]

Now, the object of the game

is to get the ball in your opponent's goal

using only your brooms.

Alright? No hands, no feet.

Uh... let's keep it clean.

Let's play broomball!

Maybe broomball was too much.

Do not give him a pass. Apologies are in order.

I know. I will apologize to Max.

No, you will apologize to Evan. He's the one you shoved down.

I think this is the way to go, Robert.

And you can deliver this along with the apology.

Fine.

Linda thought you might want a sandwich.

Thank you.

Look. Evan, I wanted to apologize.

Apparently, I don't know my own strength.

You don't know your own...

[laughs]

Wait, you think you did this off that little bump?

It was pretty clear that I laid you out flat

and for that I'm sorry.

Uh... no.

I was moving too quickly to get in scoring position,

then I stumbled and that's when you grabbed the ball.

Wait, wait, wait.

You think you were in scoring position?

You must've really hit your head

because I was in firm possession of the ball.

I think I know a thing or two about possession

being that I've played years of league soccer.

League soccer? I don't even know what that is.

[scoffs]

It's a league of committed, talented soccer players.

Some even semi-pro.

Well, I was captain of my soccer team in high school

and in college.

What position did you play? Forward?

No. Forward's all flash.

[chuckles]

Yeah, all flash.

You have skill and speed and stamina.

It's clear that the only position for you is centre...

Centre mid.

No, come on.

Huh.

I wish we'd done something Dad would enjoy.

He's been so down since retiring.

You can't make people enjoy themselves, sugar.

[men laughing from garage]

That hip check was vintage hockey, man.

Oh, man. There's a time for playing nice

Well, I'm actually an engineer. Or was.

The firm I was with went under right as Jen made partner

so it just seemed like a good time to step back,

handle things and home and, uh, figure out my next move.

Mm.

Well I'm sure you'll figure it out, Mike.

Well, it's been a long and eventful day.

Should we turn in?

That's the funny thing, I'm not tired at all.

Anybody up for a night cap?

I'm with Jennifer. I'm exhausted.

I'm game.

I actually read about this cool place downtown.

Alright. Well then let's grab our coats.

and a cool place downtown with our names on it.

It's just gonna be one drink. Okay?

Don't get me wrong, the music in here is fine,

Sure.

Alright, fine. Full disclosure...

Linda just introduced me to him, but I am a fan.

Al is as smooth as single malt.

Well, no truer words have been spoken.

I gotta say, Evan, I'm impressed.

Single malts, golden oldies.

I had you pegged as a shallow nitwit millennial.

Oh yeah?

Well I had you pegged as just some grouchy old guy.

I guess we were both wrong.

Well, actually... most days I feel like a grouchy old guy.

It wasn't always this way.

What happened?

Well, I like to say I didn't leave the law, the law left me.

All these young lawyers,

they got their own way of working. And, um...

all at once I went from top of my game to out of step.

You know, he's gonna start playing tennis again.

I just know it.

That would be good for him.

Yeah, it'll be good for him. But we played tennis together.

We did so much... before life just got in the way.

How did that happen?

Oh... simply, quietly, without even noticing.

I think we just lost sight of each other, I guess.

Mom, do you think you're still working through some feelings?

That would be totally understandable.

Thirty-five years is a lot to leave behind.

It is. And what if I didn't leave it behind?

Oh God, it's lightning.

Glad you're back, big storm brewing.
