0
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:15,000


1
00:00:16,717 --> 00:00:18,584
- Here. Come say hi.

2
00:00:26,827 --> 00:00:28,827
Hurry. It's freezing.

3
00:00:28,929 --> 00:00:30,562
- Look! There's Santa!

4
00:00:38,339 --> 00:00:40,439
- Christmas was
always different for me.

5
00:00:40,541 --> 00:00:44,343
I'd been an elf at Santaville
since I was 5 years old.

6
00:00:44,445 --> 00:00:46,512
I knew the names
of every reindeer,

7
00:00:46,614 --> 00:00:49,348
could keep it straight
how many lords were leaping

8
00:00:49,450 --> 00:00:52,451
and how many ladies dancing
before I learned arithmetic.

9
00:00:53,220 --> 00:00:55,721
- OK, what'd you get
for Christmas last year?

10
00:00:55,823 --> 00:00:58,057
Too late. What'd you get?

11
00:00:58,159 --> 00:00:59,391
Oh, that's really great.

12
00:00:59,493 --> 00:01:00,793
What'd you get?

13
00:01:00,895 --> 00:01:03,362
- I got...
- Uh-huh. How 'bout you?

14
00:01:05,499 --> 00:01:08,834
- I missed out on slumber
parties and school field trips.

15
00:01:08,936 --> 00:01:13,305
It wasn't so bad at first, but
by the time I was a teenager,

16
00:01:13,407 --> 00:01:16,141
I started to take a slightly
different view of things.

17
00:01:16,243 --> 00:01:17,209
- Have a Merry Christmas,

18
00:01:17,311 --> 00:01:19,678
and we hope to see you again
soon at Santaville,

19
00:01:19,780 --> 00:01:20,913
where every day is Christmas.

20
00:01:21,015 --> 00:01:21,847
- Thank you. Merry Christmas.

21
00:01:21,949 --> 00:01:23,615
- I'd worked for Santa
for so long,

22
00:01:23,717 --> 00:01:25,584
that Christmas didn't have
much magic anymore.

23
00:01:25,686 --> 00:01:28,987
All I knew was the more
holiday spirit people had,

24
00:01:29,090 --> 00:01:31,223
the more work it meant for me.

25
00:01:31,325 --> 00:01:32,491
- Have a Merry Christmas,

26
00:01:32,593 --> 00:01:35,661
and we hope to see you again
soon at Santaville,

27
00:01:35,763 --> 00:01:37,229
where every day is Christmas.

28
00:01:37,331 --> 00:01:39,565
- Thanks.

29
00:01:42,336 --> 00:01:43,302
- Have a Merry Christmas,

30
00:01:43,404 --> 00:01:46,038
and we hope to see you again
soon at Santaville,

31
00:01:46,140 --> 00:01:47,539
where every day is Christmas.

32
00:01:50,344 --> 00:01:51,944
- Such a dork.

33
00:01:52,046 --> 00:01:52,945
- You know, for an elf,

34
00:01:53,047 --> 00:01:54,446
you don't really seem
all that jolly.

35
00:01:54,548 --> 00:01:59,084
- Yeah. Well, Santaville's open
365 days a year.

36
00:01:59,186 --> 00:02:01,320
You kind of
have to pace yourself

37
00:02:01,422 --> 00:02:02,821
with the whole spirit thing.

38
00:02:02,923 --> 00:02:04,022
- I don't know.

39
00:02:04,125 --> 00:02:06,992
Just being around you puts me
in the Christmas spirit.

40
00:02:07,094 --> 00:02:09,328
So what's your real name?

41
00:02:10,364 --> 00:02:11,830
- Holly is my real name.

42
00:02:11,932 --> 00:02:13,832
- Nice to meet you,
not-so-jolly Holly.

43
00:02:13,934 --> 00:02:14,933
- Heh heh.

44
00:02:15,035 --> 00:02:16,502
- My name's Peter.

45
00:02:20,908 --> 00:02:21,640
- Yay!

46
00:02:21,742 --> 00:02:22,708
- What's that?

47
00:02:22,810 --> 00:02:25,210
- Come on.

48
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:27,613
- ...all these guys,

49
00:02:27,715 --> 00:02:30,983
and then this one
very cute reindeer says,

50
00:02:31,085 --> 00:02:33,952
"my name is Randolph."

51
00:02:34,054 --> 00:02:34,887
- No!

52
00:02:34,989 --> 00:02:37,289
- And I said to myself,
"Randolph...

53
00:02:37,391 --> 00:02:39,391
Does not sound like
a reindeer's name."

54
00:02:39,493 --> 00:02:40,759
- He makes a great Santa.

55
00:02:40,861 --> 00:02:43,562
- He should.
He's been doing it all my life.

56
00:02:43,664 --> 00:02:45,030
Nick's my dad.

57
00:02:45,132 --> 00:02:47,432
- You dad's name is Nick?
Seriously,

58
00:02:47,535 --> 00:02:49,001
as in Saint Nick?

59
00:02:49,103 --> 00:02:51,136
- And you know
what I changed it to?

60
00:02:51,238 --> 00:02:52,104
- Rudolph!

61
00:02:52,206 --> 00:02:53,939
- That's right.
I changed it to Rudolph.

62
00:02:54,041 --> 00:02:55,941
- I get it.
- And from that moment on...

63
00:02:56,043 --> 00:02:57,543
- Nick. Holly.

64
00:02:57,645 --> 00:02:59,211
- Welcome to my world.

65
00:02:59,313 --> 00:03:01,446
- They were all
hangin' out together.

66
00:03:02,983 --> 00:03:04,583
- No, really, I like it.

67
00:03:04,685 --> 00:03:08,387
I guess this would sort of
make you an expert on Christmas.

68
00:03:08,489 --> 00:03:10,222
- Yeah. Right.

69
00:03:10,324 --> 00:03:12,925
- I see this thing all over
during the holidays,

70
00:03:13,027 --> 00:03:14,960
and, I mean,
I just don't get it.

71
00:03:15,062 --> 00:03:16,295
It's gotta be
the weirdest-looking doll.

72
00:03:16,397 --> 00:03:18,630
- It's not a doll.
It's a nutcracker.

73
00:03:18,732 --> 00:03:20,098
You know, from the ballet.

74
00:03:20,201 --> 00:03:21,300
- Yeah. F-from the ballet.

75
00:03:21,402 --> 00:03:24,536
- You've never heard of
the nutcracker ballet?

76
00:03:24,638 --> 00:03:25,771
Tchaikovsky?

77
00:03:25,873 --> 00:03:27,573
Clara and Fritz?

78
00:03:27,675 --> 00:03:29,174
Herr Drosselmeyer?

79
00:03:29,276 --> 00:03:31,243
- Never really got ballet.

80
00:03:31,345 --> 00:03:32,778
- This isn't just ballet.

81
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,713
It's a great
Christmas tradition.

82
00:03:34,815 --> 00:03:38,217
See, Clara gets the nutcracker
as a gift on Christmas Eve,

83
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:39,751
and it comes to life

84
00:03:39,853 --> 00:03:42,221
and turns into
this handsome prince,

85
00:03:42,323 --> 00:03:46,425
and he has to rescue her
from the evil mouse king and...

86
00:03:46,527 --> 00:03:49,228
I guess you'd have to see it.

87
00:03:49,330 --> 00:03:51,296
- I will.

88
00:03:55,269 --> 00:03:57,703
- What's this?

89
00:03:57,805 --> 00:03:59,204
- I make things.

90
00:04:00,274 --> 00:04:02,140
- It's beautiful.

91
00:04:02,243 --> 00:04:04,276
- Thank you.

92
00:04:05,279 --> 00:04:06,144
- Whoo!

93
00:04:07,214 --> 00:04:08,080
- All right, Holly,

94
00:04:08,182 --> 00:04:10,682
I got some great
new customers for you.

95
00:04:10,784 --> 00:04:11,883
- Just a second, dad.

96
00:04:11,986 --> 00:04:14,486
- Uh, Holly,
Santa doesn't have any children.

97
00:04:14,588 --> 00:04:16,288
Santa has elves.

98
00:04:16,390 --> 00:04:17,289
- Santa.

99
00:04:17,391 --> 00:04:19,825
- Yes. I have
the magic suit on. OK?

100
00:04:19,927 --> 00:04:21,193
- OK.

101
00:04:21,295 --> 00:04:24,930
- Hey! Well, how'd you like it if
Santa bought you one of those?

102
00:04:25,032 --> 00:04:25,897
- Yeah!

103
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,233
- Hey, did you see this?
- Yeah!

104
00:04:28,335 --> 00:04:30,469
- Did you look under
the Christmas tree?

105
00:04:30,571 --> 00:04:32,037
Have you ever seen a...

106
00:04:32,139 --> 00:04:33,338
- No.
- Oh, Santa!

107
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,442
- How would you like it if Santa
brought you one of these?

108
00:04:40,514 --> 00:04:42,681
- Holly Crosby's office.

109
00:04:42,783 --> 00:04:45,450
- Yeah, I know.
I got stuck behind some guy

110
00:04:45,552 --> 00:04:47,686
unloading one of those
steroid Christmas trees

111
00:04:47,788 --> 00:04:49,921
everyone gets
all warm and fuzzy about.

112
00:04:50,024 --> 00:04:50,822
- Where are you?

113
00:04:50,924 --> 00:04:52,324
- I'm here now.

114
00:04:52,426 --> 00:04:54,693
- Oh. Good morning, Ms. Crosby.
Merry Christmas.

115
00:04:54,795 --> 00:04:56,461
Here are your mail and messages.

116
00:04:56,563 --> 00:04:58,664
The sample's on your desk,
and Mr. Holt is on hold.

117
00:05:02,102 --> 00:05:03,435
- Brenda...

118
00:05:04,171 --> 00:05:05,671
What is this?

119
00:05:05,773 --> 00:05:07,406
- What is what?

120
00:05:07,508 --> 00:05:08,407
- This stuff...

121
00:05:08,509 --> 00:05:09,708
On your desk.

122
00:05:09,810 --> 00:05:10,809
- Oh. It's Christmas.

123
00:05:10,911 --> 00:05:14,012
- Yeah. It looks
like frosty exploded.

124
00:05:14,114 --> 00:05:17,015
This is a business, Brenda,
not the north pole.

125
00:05:17,117 --> 00:05:19,618
- You mean I can't have
Christmas decorations?

126
00:05:20,821 --> 00:05:21,653
- OK, um...

127
00:05:21,755 --> 00:05:24,289
Let's just
tone it down a bit, OK?

128
00:05:24,391 --> 00:05:26,992
- Sure. OK. Thanks, Ms. Crosby.

129
00:05:30,597 --> 00:05:32,230
Holly Crosby's office.

130
00:05:34,301 --> 00:05:38,270
- This new Celtic line tested
through the roof, Mr. Holt.

131
00:05:38,372 --> 00:05:40,906
Uh, people love that warm,
handcrafted look,

132
00:05:41,008 --> 00:05:44,409
but at big-box prices,
especially for the holidays.

133
00:05:44,511 --> 00:05:47,279
That's true. Christmas is
all about tradition,

134
00:05:47,381 --> 00:05:49,448
which is what
makes this so perfect.

135
00:05:49,550 --> 00:05:52,050
I mean, people'll hang these up
every year,

136
00:05:52,152 --> 00:05:53,852
pass them down to their kids.

137
00:05:53,954 --> 00:05:56,355
You're creating
a tradition here.

138
00:05:58,225 --> 00:06:00,759
Y-yes, absolutely.
We can ship in 48 hours.

139
00:06:00,861 --> 00:06:02,227
No problem.

140
00:06:02,329 --> 00:06:05,597
No, thank you, Mr. Holt.
Thank you very much.

141
00:06:05,699 --> 00:06:08,266
And, uh, Merry Christmas
to you, too.

142
00:06:08,369 --> 00:06:10,469
Guess who just doubled
her sales for the month.

143
00:06:10,571 --> 00:06:12,838
- Kudos, Holly. Well done.
I don't know what it is.

144
00:06:12,940 --> 00:06:15,474
There's just somethin' about
this time of year

145
00:06:15,576 --> 00:06:17,409
that makes you
go into overdrive.

146
00:06:17,511 --> 00:06:18,944
- Thank you, Mr. Jennings.

147
00:06:19,046 --> 00:06:21,380
- Though it wouldn't hurt
to give your holiday spirit

148
00:06:21,482 --> 00:06:23,682
just a little smidgeon
of spit-shine.

149
00:06:23,784 --> 00:06:24,950
- What do you mean?

150
00:06:25,052 --> 00:06:26,852
- Christmas is
a happy time, Holly.

151
00:06:26,954 --> 00:06:28,687
You make it sound
like a root canal.

152
00:06:28,789 --> 00:06:30,956
- Believe me, I know
what a happy time this is.

153
00:06:31,058 --> 00:06:33,859
We do half our annual sales
in just 6 weeks.

154
00:06:39,633 --> 00:06:42,100
- I've been looking over
your schedule for December.

155
00:06:42,202 --> 00:06:45,370
Looks to me like you're planning
on working 12-hour days

156
00:06:45,472 --> 00:06:47,005
right through
the 12 days of Christmas.

157
00:06:47,107 --> 00:06:49,341
- We're so busy right now,
all these last-minute orders.

158
00:06:49,443 --> 00:06:51,843
I have to finalize the photos
for the new catalog.

159
00:06:51,945 --> 00:06:53,111
- But when you stay late,

160
00:06:53,213 --> 00:06:55,147
your whole staff
has to be here, too,

161
00:06:55,249 --> 00:06:57,682
and this time of year,
a little bird tells me

162
00:06:57,785 --> 00:06:59,851
that they'd rather be home
with their families

163
00:06:59,953 --> 00:07:02,220
or out spreading Christmas
cheer with their friends.

164
00:07:03,290 --> 00:07:04,589
- Oh.

165
00:07:04,691 --> 00:07:06,358
Well, no, I... I understand.

166
00:07:06,460 --> 00:07:07,559
- Glad to hear it.

167
00:07:07,661 --> 00:07:09,561
So for everyone's sake,

168
00:07:09,663 --> 00:07:11,797
go home early once in a while.

169
00:07:11,899 --> 00:07:14,132
Put up a tree.
Sip some eggnog.

170
00:07:14,234 --> 00:07:15,467
Write Santa a letter.

171
00:07:15,569 --> 00:07:18,703
Tell him what a good little sales
manager you've been this year.

172
00:07:18,806 --> 00:07:20,405
- Santa and I are like this.

173
00:07:20,507 --> 00:07:23,208
He knows I'm way too busy
for that stuff.

174
00:07:23,310 --> 00:07:24,109
- Holly...

175
00:07:24,211 --> 00:07:26,745
You can't be too busy
for Christmas.

176
00:07:38,559 --> 00:07:41,560
- I mean it, honey.
3 years is way too long.

177
00:07:41,662 --> 00:07:42,627
We all miss you.

178
00:07:42,729 --> 00:07:43,895
- I wish I could, dad,

179
00:07:43,997 --> 00:07:46,565
but we launch a new line
the first week of January.

180
00:07:46,667 --> 00:07:49,301
It's huge. There's no way
I can take time off.

181
00:07:49,403 --> 00:07:50,135
- I understand.

182
00:07:50,237 --> 00:07:52,103
You must be doin'
a heck of a job.

183
00:07:52,206 --> 00:07:54,639
I just wish you didn't
have to be so far away.

184
00:07:54,741 --> 00:07:57,976
- Well, you could come
to Boston.

185
00:07:58,078 --> 00:08:01,947
It is my understanding
that trains go both ways.

186
00:08:02,049 --> 00:08:05,050
- Yeah. Well, I guess that's
somethin' we have in common,

187
00:08:05,152 --> 00:08:06,551
'cause Santaville
never closes either,

188
00:08:06,653 --> 00:08:09,387
so I can never leave.
What would the kids say?

189
00:08:09,490 --> 00:08:13,158
- Um, maybe that Santa's
visiting his daughter.

190
00:08:13,260 --> 00:08:15,560
- Honey, you know Santa
doesn't have any children.

191
00:08:15,662 --> 00:08:18,296
- Oh. Right. Santa has elves.

192
00:08:18,398 --> 00:08:21,032
- That's right,
and you're his number one.

193
00:08:21,134 --> 00:08:23,668
Always have been,
and you always will be.

194
00:08:23,770 --> 00:08:26,404
- OK. Look, dad, I better go.

195
00:08:26,507 --> 00:08:27,472
- All right.

196
00:08:27,574 --> 00:08:30,141
Hey, Merry Christmas.

197
00:08:31,478 --> 00:08:33,178
- You, too.

198
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:34,446
Night, dad.

199
00:09:06,513 --> 00:09:08,680
- And a DVD player... Blu-ray...

200
00:09:08,782 --> 00:09:10,549
And an Omegatron 6000

201
00:09:10,651 --> 00:09:13,351
with all 5 levels and
multiplayer access screen.

202
00:09:13,453 --> 00:09:14,953
You can get that, right?

203
00:09:15,055 --> 00:09:16,221
- Um...

204
00:09:17,190 --> 00:09:19,424
Yes. Yes. It's on my list.

205
00:09:19,526 --> 00:09:20,592
Is there anything else?

206
00:09:20,694 --> 00:09:22,694
- A Zeon command cube,
but it's gotta have

207
00:09:22,796 --> 00:09:24,396
the shuffle feature
for all 83 games,

208
00:09:24,498 --> 00:09:25,730
or I don't want it.

209
00:09:25,832 --> 00:09:28,433
- Games. Oh. I love games.

210
00:09:28,535 --> 00:09:29,734
Games are great,

211
00:09:29,836 --> 00:09:32,537
and I picture you
as a checkers man.

212
00:09:32,639 --> 00:09:33,572
Am I right?

213
00:09:33,674 --> 00:09:34,973
- What's checkers?

214
00:09:35,075 --> 00:09:36,474
- Everybody knows
how to play checkers.

215
00:09:36,577 --> 00:09:38,310
It's a game of the mind.

216
00:09:38,412 --> 00:09:39,511
- Sounds lame.

217
00:09:39,613 --> 00:09:40,879
So how does this work?

218
00:09:40,981 --> 00:09:43,448
You make the games here
or at the north pole?

219
00:09:43,550 --> 00:09:45,517
- That's a very good question,
Willy.

220
00:09:45,619 --> 00:09:48,053
Actually we...
We make the games offsite.

221
00:09:48,155 --> 00:09:49,821
- Outsourcing.

222
00:09:49,923 --> 00:09:50,789
Smart.

223
00:09:50,891 --> 00:09:53,258
- You know, Willy...

224
00:09:54,661 --> 00:09:59,331
Christmas is... is not just about
multiplayers and Megatrons.

225
00:09:59,433 --> 00:10:04,035
Christmas is a magical time
where wonderful things happen,

226
00:10:04,137 --> 00:10:06,438
things that you'd never expect.

227
00:10:06,540 --> 00:10:08,840
- Yeah?

228
00:10:10,510 --> 00:10:11,876
- All right, Willy.

229
00:10:11,979 --> 00:10:13,511
Get ready, son,

230
00:10:13,614 --> 00:10:17,048
because this right here
is Santa's workshop.

231
00:10:17,150 --> 00:10:18,817
Ferocious, huh?

232
00:10:20,487 --> 00:10:21,686
- You're kidding, right?

233
00:10:21,788 --> 00:10:23,488
- You don't like it?

234
00:10:23,590 --> 00:10:24,889
- It's fake.

235
00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:27,859
- It's pretend.

236
00:10:27,961 --> 00:10:30,996
- Yeah. Y-yeah.

237
00:10:31,098 --> 00:10:31,997
- Ferocious, huh?

238
00:10:32,099 --> 00:10:33,264
- Heh.

239
00:10:33,367 --> 00:10:35,133
- Of course Santa can't show you

240
00:10:35,235 --> 00:10:37,602
how he really makes the toys.
That'd be against the rules.

241
00:10:37,704 --> 00:10:39,604
This is just to help you use
your imagination.

242
00:10:39,706 --> 00:10:41,439
- Who are you?

243
00:10:41,541 --> 00:10:44,376
- Why, this is one of my elves.
His name is Peter.

244
00:10:44,478 --> 00:10:46,011
- You're not really an elf.

245
00:10:46,113 --> 00:10:48,480
- I help Santa keep things
running around here.

246
00:10:48,582 --> 00:10:50,048
What else could I be?

247
00:10:50,150 --> 00:10:51,583
- Hey, guys, uh, can...

248
00:10:51,685 --> 00:10:53,318
- Uup!
- Who was that?

249
00:10:53,420 --> 00:10:54,185
- Who was who?

250
00:10:54,287 --> 00:10:55,153
- I didn't...
- No.

251
00:10:55,255 --> 00:10:56,488
- I didn't see anything.
- No.

252
00:10:56,590 --> 00:10:58,690
- Mom, I wanna go back
to the mall.

253
00:10:58,792 --> 00:11:00,692
- Well, you guys come back
this weekend,

254
00:11:00,794 --> 00:11:03,228
'cause we've got
the reindeer races.

255
00:11:04,531 --> 00:11:06,364
I don't get it, Pete.

256
00:11:06,466 --> 00:11:09,267
Kids used to love
Santa's workshop.

257
00:11:09,369 --> 00:11:10,602
- Kids have changed.

258
00:11:10,704 --> 00:11:12,237
Santa's workshop has not.

259
00:11:12,339 --> 00:11:13,738
- I know.

260
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:14,839
That's my point.

261
00:11:14,941 --> 00:11:16,741
Earl. Earl!

262
00:11:16,843 --> 00:11:18,043
- Sorry, Nick. So sorry.

263
00:11:18,145 --> 00:11:19,944
- Earl, let me
tell you something.

264
00:11:20,047 --> 00:11:22,480
That boy sees 2 Santas
in the same place,

265
00:11:22,582 --> 00:11:24,916
I mean, that's... that's against
the laws of the universe.

266
00:11:25,018 --> 00:11:25,850
- Well...

267
00:11:25,952 --> 00:11:27,886
- That could scar him for life.
I just...

268
00:11:27,988 --> 00:11:29,154
- There's never
anyone here anymore,

269
00:11:29,256 --> 00:11:31,322
and... and I didn't
think about it.

270
00:11:31,425 --> 00:11:32,691
How's it goin', Pete?

271
00:11:32,793 --> 00:11:34,159
- Good, Earl. Uh...

272
00:11:34,261 --> 00:11:35,393
Mall, uh, busy today?

273
00:11:35,495 --> 00:11:36,961
- A zoo.

274
00:11:37,064 --> 00:11:40,532
You know they turn the heat up
to 80 degrees in that place?

275
00:11:40,634 --> 00:11:42,467
Th-they think it makes people
spend more.

276
00:11:42,569 --> 00:11:43,702
Well, how are they gonna feel

277
00:11:43,804 --> 00:11:46,004
when Santa passes out
from heatstroke?

278
00:11:46,106 --> 00:11:47,539
- Not good.
- Not good. Not good.

279
00:11:47,641 --> 00:11:50,475
Listen, Earl, you should go back
to practicing law.

280
00:11:50,577 --> 00:11:51,776
Really. Come on.

281
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,480
You need a cup of hot cocoa.

282
00:11:55,582 --> 00:11:56,848
- Cocoa? I'm burnin' up.

283
00:11:56,950 --> 00:11:59,150
- And a piece
of Ginny's pumpkin pie.

284
00:11:59,252 --> 00:12:00,018
- Twist my arm.

285
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,386
- Don't tempt me.

286
00:12:19,806 --> 00:12:21,840
- So what do you hear
from Holly?

287
00:12:21,942 --> 00:12:23,908
- She's doin' well,
loves her job.

288
00:12:24,010 --> 00:12:26,377
Course, this is
a busy time of year,

289
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,680
so she can't come home
for Christmas.

290
00:12:28,782 --> 00:12:30,215
- She says that every year.

291
00:12:30,317 --> 00:12:32,817
- Earl, she has
an important job.

292
00:12:32,919 --> 00:12:34,352
People depend on her,

293
00:12:34,454 --> 00:12:37,522
kind of like kids depend on me,
you know?

294
00:12:37,624 --> 00:12:39,290
- I don't know about that.

295
00:12:39,392 --> 00:12:40,658
- Don't start.

296
00:12:40,761 --> 00:12:41,960
- Start what?

297
00:12:44,164 --> 00:12:46,564
All I'm sayin'
is that in our day,

298
00:12:46,666 --> 00:12:48,933
it was a baseball mitt or a kite

299
00:12:49,035 --> 00:12:52,270
or maybe an electric train
if you were lucky.

300
00:13:07,387 --> 00:13:09,754
Moonlight and mistletoe.

301
00:13:17,164 --> 00:13:19,030
- What are you
mumblin' about over there?

302
00:13:19,132 --> 00:13:20,431
- You know what I'm gonna do?

303
00:13:20,534 --> 00:13:22,734
I think I'm gonna get the sleigh
out and give Ginny a ride home

304
00:13:22,836 --> 00:13:24,202
and thank her
for makin' the pie for us.

305
00:13:24,304 --> 00:13:25,970
- Heh. Hey, Romeo,

306
00:13:26,072 --> 00:13:28,473
she's been comin' on to you
for 5 years,

307
00:13:28,575 --> 00:13:30,909
and you haven't given her
the time of day.

308
00:13:31,011 --> 00:13:33,878
- Earl, I'm not givin' her
the time of day, OK?

309
00:13:33,980 --> 00:13:36,681
I'm just givin' her
a simple sleigh ride home

310
00:13:36,783 --> 00:13:38,583
under the moonlight with me...

311
00:13:39,686 --> 00:13:41,252
You're jealous.

312
00:13:53,900 --> 00:13:54,766
Whoa.

313
00:13:58,672 --> 00:13:59,838
- Evenin', Ginny.

314
00:13:59,940 --> 00:14:01,206
- So what's all this?

315
00:14:01,308 --> 00:14:04,042
- Well, I thought
you might want a lift home.

316
00:14:04,144 --> 00:14:07,846
I got you a blanket,
some hot cider to keep you warm,

317
00:14:07,948 --> 00:14:10,315
and of course I brought
my favorite reindeer.

318
00:14:10,417 --> 00:14:12,250
- You do know that's a horse.

319
00:14:12,352 --> 00:14:14,219
- Well, I know
he looks like a horse right now,

320
00:14:14,321 --> 00:14:15,620
but once the Christmas magic
kicks in,

321
00:14:15,722 --> 00:14:17,989
his inner reindeer comes out.

322
00:14:19,159 --> 00:14:21,226
- You think he can pull us both?

323
00:14:21,328 --> 00:14:23,695
- Well, dasher's lost
a little bit of his dash

324
00:14:23,797 --> 00:14:26,497
over the years, but one tug
of these reins, and off...

325
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:27,498
whoa!

326
00:14:27,601 --> 00:14:28,766
- Hey!
- Oh, whoa! Whoa!

327
00:14:28,869 --> 00:14:31,002
- You forgot something!
- Whoa! Oh! No! Oh!

328
00:14:31,104 --> 00:14:33,238
- Nick?
- The tree. Please. No, no, no!

329
00:14:33,340 --> 00:14:34,539
- Look out! The tree!

330
00:14:34,641 --> 00:14:35,840
- I know! I know!

331
00:14:35,942 --> 00:14:38,076
Ohh. Ohh.

332
00:14:38,178 --> 00:14:40,211
- Nick!
- I'm fine. I'm fine.

333
00:14:40,313 --> 00:14:41,379
- Nick!

334
00:14:44,050 --> 00:14:48,086
- Green mountain train 57
arriving from Boston.

335
00:14:48,188 --> 00:14:51,589
Green mountain train 57
arriving from Boston.

336
00:14:52,926 --> 00:14:54,092
- That's fine, Brenda.

337
00:14:54,194 --> 00:14:56,060
Just call me the minute
the purchase order gets there.

338
00:14:56,162 --> 00:14:57,262
- Any time?
- Absolutely. Day or night.

339
00:14:57,364 --> 00:14:58,329
- Ms. Crosby, Peter Lowdell.

340
00:14:58,431 --> 00:14:59,764
- Even if that means
missing my choir practice?

341
00:14:59,866 --> 00:15:01,833
- No, Brenda, I don't mean
for you to miss choir practice.

342
00:15:01,935 --> 00:15:03,001
I know you have a solo.

343
00:15:03,103 --> 00:15:04,002
- Clear out.
- I just meant...

344
00:15:04,104 --> 00:15:05,737
- I'll do it if you want,
Ms. Crosby.

345
00:15:05,839 --> 00:15:07,805
- Look, just call me, OK?
I have to go.

346
00:15:07,908 --> 00:15:09,974
Hi. Sorry. Business.

347
00:15:10,076 --> 00:15:11,643
- No problem.
- How's my father? Is he OK?

348
00:15:11,745 --> 00:15:13,177
- Oh, sure. Yeah. He's fine.

349
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:14,512
Listen, I have my truck
parked right over here.

350
00:15:14,614 --> 00:15:16,414
- I'm still not exactly clear
on what happened.

351
00:15:16,516 --> 00:15:17,482
How did he get hurt?

352
00:15:17,584 --> 00:15:18,850
- Doctor said it was the worst

353
00:15:18,952 --> 00:15:20,118
sleighing accident
he's ever seen.

354
00:15:20,220 --> 00:15:21,519
Of course, he said it was

355
00:15:21,621 --> 00:15:23,821
the only sleighing accident
he's ever seen, so...

356
00:15:24,591 --> 00:15:26,357
- Actually there were
34 sleighing accidents

357
00:15:26,459 --> 00:15:29,294
in new england just last year.
It's not funny.

358
00:15:29,396 --> 00:15:31,129
- Right. Very serious.

359
00:15:31,231 --> 00:15:33,464
- Driving a sleigh
in the middle of the night,

360
00:15:33,566 --> 00:15:34,332
that is so typical.

361
00:15:34,434 --> 00:15:36,367
He's lucky
he didn't break his neck.

362
00:15:36,469 --> 00:15:38,903
- Uh, I think it would take more
than a head-on with a tree

363
00:15:39,005 --> 00:15:39,871
to keep your dad down.

364
00:15:39,973 --> 00:15:41,272
Busted up his leg
pretty good, though.

365
00:15:41,374 --> 00:15:43,574
Won't be driving anything
for a while.

366
00:15:44,611 --> 00:15:47,845
How I... did the doctor say how
long he'd be in the hospital?

367
00:15:47,948 --> 00:15:48,947
- Oh, he's home.

368
00:15:49,049 --> 00:15:52,016
- Home? It hasn't
even been 2 days.

369
00:15:52,118 --> 00:15:54,118
- You ever try to keep Nick
somewhere he didn't wanna be?

370
00:15:54,220 --> 00:15:55,753
- Point taken.

371
00:15:55,855 --> 00:15:58,890
- Don't worry, though. I've been
takin' good care of him...

372
00:15:58,992 --> 00:16:00,158
Me, Ginny, Earl.

373
00:16:01,027 --> 00:16:03,561
- Sounds like he doesn't
even really need me here.

374
00:16:03,663 --> 00:16:06,064
- Are you kidding? That's all
he's been talking about.

375
00:16:06,166 --> 00:16:08,333
- Oh. Good.

376
00:16:12,872 --> 00:16:14,906
- Nick says you like it
in the city.

377
00:16:15,008 --> 00:16:15,873
- Uh-huh.

378
00:16:15,976 --> 00:16:17,775
- Must keep you
pretty busy, though,

379
00:16:17,877 --> 00:16:20,445
work and all.
He sure misses you.

380
00:16:21,281 --> 00:16:23,047
- I'm sorry.
What was your name?

381
00:16:23,149 --> 00:16:24,816
- Peter. Peter. Peter Lowdell.
It's OK.

382
00:16:24,918 --> 00:16:26,017
- Oh. Peter. Right.

383
00:16:26,119 --> 00:16:28,252
Peter, do you work
for my father?

384
00:16:28,355 --> 00:16:29,721
- I used to be on the payroll.

385
00:16:29,823 --> 00:16:31,556
Now I'm more
what you call a volunteer.

386
00:16:31,658 --> 00:16:34,258
Pick up odd jobs
around town, though,

387
00:16:34,361 --> 00:16:37,095
paint signs for the locals,
that kind of thing.

388
00:16:37,197 --> 00:16:39,530
Mainly I like Nick.
I like it here.

389
00:16:39,632 --> 00:16:41,232
It's a nice place.

390
00:16:41,901 --> 00:16:43,401
- Right.

391
00:16:47,574 --> 00:16:50,041
- Green mountain number 57
departing Chester

392
00:16:50,143 --> 00:16:53,044
for white river junction.
All aboard.

393
00:17:00,220 --> 00:17:02,053
- You don't remember me, do you?

394
00:17:02,155 --> 00:17:03,988
- Should I?

395
00:17:04,090 --> 00:17:06,090
- I don't know.

396
00:17:06,192 --> 00:17:07,992
We talked about the ballet once.

397
00:17:08,094 --> 00:17:09,627
- Sorry.

398
00:17:11,231 --> 00:17:12,797
- Long time ago.

399
00:17:27,914 --> 00:17:29,213
- Wow. The inn look deserted.

400
00:17:29,315 --> 00:17:30,915
- They don't serve lunches
anymore.

401
00:17:31,017 --> 00:17:32,350
Business was too slow.

402
00:17:32,452 --> 00:17:34,285
Dinner's only on the weekends.

403
00:17:34,387 --> 00:17:35,787
- You're kidding.

404
00:17:35,889 --> 00:17:38,923
Wow. That place was always
packed this time of year.

405
00:17:39,025 --> 00:17:41,793
Families never missed
celebrating Christmas.

406
00:17:48,501 --> 00:17:50,601
- There she is!

407
00:17:50,703 --> 00:17:52,003
- Dad! Oh, my god!

408
00:17:52,105 --> 00:17:54,172
- Oh, I'm sorry you had to come
all this way, honey.

409
00:17:54,274 --> 00:17:56,874
- Oh, no. Stop. A-are you OK?
- Oh, I'm fine.

410
00:17:56,976 --> 00:17:58,042
- You didn't tell me
he was in a wheelchair.

411
00:17:58,144 --> 00:18:00,344
- Oh, I'm not in a wheelchair.
I mean,

412
00:18:00,447 --> 00:18:02,346
I'm in a wheelchair, but I can
get around great on crutches.

413
00:18:02,449 --> 00:18:04,048
- No, you can't.
- Mind your own business.

414
00:18:04,150 --> 00:18:07,552
- You know, I should be really angry
at you. What were you thinking?

415
00:18:07,654 --> 00:18:11,155
- Well, I'd been thinking about
enterin' dasher in the derby.

416
00:18:11,958 --> 00:18:13,124
- Dad...

417
00:18:13,226 --> 00:18:15,326
Dasher is 20 years old.
Neither one of you

418
00:18:15,428 --> 00:18:17,061
has any business
riding around in a sleigh.

419
00:18:17,163 --> 00:18:19,931
- Don't you start, too. I've been
gettin' it from all sides, honey.

420
00:18:20,033 --> 00:18:21,265
- Good. You deserve it.

421
00:18:21,367 --> 00:18:23,835
That's what I told him.

422
00:18:23,937 --> 00:18:26,003
Listen, it's just great
havin' you back here.

423
00:18:26,106 --> 00:18:27,205
Now we can get started.

424
00:18:27,307 --> 00:18:29,574
- Well, dad, I...
- I've even hung the mistletoe.

425
00:18:29,676 --> 00:18:30,775
- You just worry
about getting better.

426
00:18:30,877 --> 00:18:33,611
- Hey, I'm not worried
about anything, honey,

427
00:18:33,713 --> 00:18:34,912
not with you back.

428
00:18:35,014 --> 00:18:37,515
It's gonna be like old times,
Holly home for Christmas.

429
00:18:37,617 --> 00:18:38,516
- Who's hungry?

430
00:18:38,618 --> 00:18:39,584
- Speaking of which,

431
00:18:39,686 --> 00:18:41,652
I was thinking about
your pot roast this morning.

432
00:18:41,754 --> 00:18:43,287
Oh, you should taste it, Peter.

433
00:18:43,389 --> 00:18:45,923
She makes it with, uh, carrots and
potatoes, a-and she has a light sauce.

434
00:18:46,025 --> 00:18:46,958
- Can't wait.

435
00:18:47,060 --> 00:18:48,826
- It's not bland
like your Turkey meatloaf.

436
00:18:48,928 --> 00:18:49,861
- You like my Turkey meatloaf.

437
00:18:49,963 --> 00:18:51,329
- I hate your Turkey meatloaf.
It's terrible.

438
00:18:51,431 --> 00:18:52,430
- You always eat it.
You've never complained.

439
00:18:52,532 --> 00:18:53,397
You... you put ketchup
and mustard and all...

440
00:18:53,500 --> 00:18:54,699
- No, that's all
that you give me.

441
00:18:54,801 --> 00:18:56,534
I-I've been tryin' to humor you
by makin' you feel good.

442
00:18:56,636 --> 00:18:57,835
- You know what'd make me feel...
- OK!

443
00:18:57,937 --> 00:18:59,470
I'll make the pot roast.

444
00:19:08,982 --> 00:19:11,782
- Well, he's got a pot
for the pot roast.

445
00:19:11,885 --> 00:19:15,086
That's about it.
Have to go to the grocery store.

446
00:19:15,188 --> 00:19:16,254
- Still pacing yourself?

447
00:19:16,356 --> 00:19:18,022
- Excuse me?

448
00:19:18,124 --> 00:19:20,024
That's how you phrased it.

449
00:19:20,126 --> 00:19:22,827
365 days a year,
you have to pace yourself

450
00:19:22,929 --> 00:19:24,996
with this whole
Christmas spirit thing.

451
00:19:26,166 --> 00:19:27,765
- We have met before.

452
00:19:29,035 --> 00:19:30,501
- You should tell him.

453
00:19:31,504 --> 00:19:32,537
- What? Tell who?

454
00:19:32,639 --> 00:19:35,072
- That you're not staying
for Christmas. He's...

455
00:19:35,175 --> 00:19:37,375
He's getting his hopes up.

456
00:19:37,477 --> 00:19:40,945
- I'm sorry. Exactly when did
I invite you to discuss my...

457
00:19:43,950 --> 00:19:44,882
- Here.

458
00:19:44,984 --> 00:19:48,052
You can borrow my truck
to go to the market.

459
00:19:49,122 --> 00:19:50,988
You should probably get that.

460
00:19:52,058 --> 00:19:52,990
- Yeah, Brenda?

461
00:19:53,092 --> 00:19:55,359
- Mr. Holt's Celtic line
is ready for shipping.

462
00:19:55,461 --> 00:19:57,628
- Yes. Yes.
Have them shipped right away.

463
00:20:14,247 --> 00:20:15,479
- Holly?

464
00:20:15,582 --> 00:20:17,281
Holly Crosby?

465
00:20:17,383 --> 00:20:19,817
It's Della, Della Wallace.

466
00:20:19,919 --> 00:20:21,352
Well, Wallace now.

467
00:20:21,454 --> 00:20:22,620
Della Hamilton from high school.

468
00:20:22,722 --> 00:20:24,689
- Oh. Della.

469
00:20:24,791 --> 00:20:27,358
Wow. I-it's been forever.
I can't believe it.

470
00:20:27,460 --> 00:20:28,326
- I know.

471
00:20:28,428 --> 00:20:30,628
Oh, you look fabulous.

472
00:20:30,730 --> 00:20:34,098
I almost didn't recognize you
without your little elf suit.

473
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,234
- Yeah, my claim to fame.

474
00:20:36,336 --> 00:20:38,536
- With the little pompom
on your hat.

475
00:20:38,638 --> 00:20:39,770
- Quite the fashion statement.

476
00:20:39,872 --> 00:20:41,806
- Yeah, and all that red.
I used to say

477
00:20:41,908 --> 00:20:43,641
I could see you coming
a mile away.

478
00:20:43,743 --> 00:20:45,109
- I remember.

479
00:20:45,211 --> 00:20:47,345
- Oh, it's so good to see you.

480
00:20:47,447 --> 00:20:50,047
How's your dad? Is he OK?

481
00:20:50,149 --> 00:20:51,515
- Yeah, OK enough to want me

482
00:20:51,618 --> 00:20:54,018
to cook this pot roast
I haven't made in years.

483
00:20:54,120 --> 00:20:56,887
- Yeah, it's always something.
My family's the same way.

484
00:20:56,990 --> 00:20:58,789
- Oh, you have a family.
That's... that's great.

485
00:20:58,891 --> 00:21:02,627
Yeah, living the glamorous life
of the soccer mom and loving it.

486
00:21:02,729 --> 00:21:04,795
Roger and I have 3 boys now.

487
00:21:04,897 --> 00:21:05,730
- Roger...

488
00:21:05,832 --> 00:21:06,797
- Oh, Roger Wallace.

489
00:21:06,899 --> 00:21:07,999
Oh, you remember.

490
00:21:08,101 --> 00:21:11,435
Used to read the announcements
in high school.

491
00:21:11,537 --> 00:21:14,372
- Oh, yeah. Right.
Roger, with all the...

492
00:21:14,474 --> 00:21:16,274
- Oh, that was just an allergy.

493
00:21:16,376 --> 00:21:18,342
His face cleared right up
in college.

494
00:21:18,444 --> 00:21:20,244
He's got his own lumberyard now.

495
00:21:20,346 --> 00:21:21,846
- Wow. No kiddin'?

496
00:21:21,948 --> 00:21:23,180
- Yeah.

497
00:21:23,283 --> 00:21:26,017
So, are you seeing anybody?

498
00:21:27,120 --> 00:21:28,586
- Me? No.

499
00:21:28,688 --> 00:21:30,521
No. Who's got the time?

500
00:21:30,623 --> 00:21:31,756
- Uh, you know what?

501
00:21:31,858 --> 00:21:34,158
The three of us
should get together for coffee.

502
00:21:34,260 --> 00:21:37,061
- Oh, I don't know.
- Oh, oh, don't be silly.

503
00:21:37,163 --> 00:21:40,131
- We'll meet you at the inn
tomorrow. -00?

504
00:21:40,233 --> 00:21:41,966
How does that sound?

505
00:21:42,068 --> 00:21:43,901
- Yeah. OK. That sounds great.

506
00:21:44,003 --> 00:21:46,103
- Great. It's a date.
- All right.

507
00:21:46,205 --> 00:21:48,139
- It seems so long ago.

508
00:21:48,241 --> 00:21:50,207
I mean, I know
it was different for you,

509
00:21:50,310 --> 00:21:51,676
'cause you had to be there,

510
00:21:51,778 --> 00:21:55,479
but for the rest of us,
it was so special.

511
00:21:55,581 --> 00:21:58,316
I mean, we never missed
a tree lighting ceremony,

512
00:21:58,418 --> 00:22:01,319
and we looked so forward
to the holidays at Santaville.

513
00:22:01,421 --> 00:22:03,754
Now it seems nobody
finds the time anymore.

514
00:22:03,856 --> 00:22:06,691
It's kind of sad, isn't it?

515
00:22:06,793 --> 00:22:08,159
- Yeah.

516
00:22:08,261 --> 00:22:09,660
- Yeah.

517
00:22:09,762 --> 00:22:12,163
Well, I'll see you tomorrow.

518
00:22:12,265 --> 00:22:14,131
- OK. Bye.

519
00:22:16,869 --> 00:22:21,005
- Mmm. Peter, was that not
the star on the top of the tree?

520
00:22:21,107 --> 00:22:21,972
- That was good.

521
00:22:22,075 --> 00:22:23,841
- It was good? It was wonderful.

522
00:22:23,943 --> 00:22:25,109
It was wonderful, Holly.

523
00:22:25,211 --> 00:22:26,544
- Thanks, dad.

524
00:22:26,646 --> 00:22:28,913
- Which reminds me, we should
save a little somethin' for Earl,

525
00:22:29,015 --> 00:22:30,915
'cause he's gonna stop by
after his shift.

526
00:22:31,017 --> 00:22:31,782
- How is Earl?

527
00:22:31,884 --> 00:22:33,384
- He's doin' well.
He's doin' well.

528
00:22:33,486 --> 00:22:35,152
He's just, uh,
not lawyerin' much anymore,

529
00:22:35,254 --> 00:22:37,021
'cause he's doin'
double Santa duty,

530
00:22:37,123 --> 00:22:39,857
for us and the mall,
so he's kinda lost interest.

531
00:22:39,959 --> 00:22:41,392
Which is why it's wonderful

532
00:22:41,494 --> 00:22:44,328
that I'm gonna have you around
to help out.

533
00:22:44,430 --> 00:22:45,596
- Yeah, dad, about that...

534
00:22:45,698 --> 00:22:48,833
- Here. You know,
let me clear some of this away.

535
00:22:48,935 --> 00:22:50,134
- Mm-hmm.

536
00:22:51,504 --> 00:22:55,673
- Dad, I came because I wanted
to make sure that you were OK.

537
00:22:55,775 --> 00:22:57,842
- I appreciate that, honey.
I really do.

538
00:22:57,944 --> 00:22:58,976
- But I can't stay.

539
00:22:59,078 --> 00:23:01,445
- Well, I didn't think
you were movin' back home.

540
00:23:01,547 --> 00:23:03,347
I figured you'd leave
right after Christmas.

541
00:23:03,449 --> 00:23:05,216
- N...

542
00:23:05,318 --> 00:23:07,551
I'm not staying for Christmas.

543
00:23:07,653 --> 00:23:08,919
- What do you mean?

544
00:23:09,021 --> 00:23:10,788
- I can stay
for a couple more days,

545
00:23:10,890 --> 00:23:13,758
but I need to get back
to the city, back to my work.

546
00:23:13,860 --> 00:23:14,759
- Honey, it's Christmas.

547
00:23:14,861 --> 00:23:16,560
- Yeah. I-it's not
about Christmas, dad.

548
00:23:16,662 --> 00:23:18,295
There are people
who depend on me.

549
00:23:18,398 --> 00:23:19,463
- I depend on you.

550
00:23:19,565 --> 00:23:21,766
- I... I know, and I'll...
I'll do everything that I can.

551
00:23:21,868 --> 00:23:25,536
I'll hire someone to help you out
until you get back on your feet.

552
00:23:25,638 --> 00:23:27,938
- I'm not gonna have
some stranger in my house.

553
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,374
Holly, we're family,

554
00:23:30,476 --> 00:23:32,410
and family takes care of family.

555
00:23:32,512 --> 00:23:35,045
- Nick, I could handle things
around here,

556
00:23:35,148 --> 00:23:36,580
the... with the cooking,
the cleaning.

557
00:23:36,682 --> 00:23:39,083
- You hear that? With him
cookin', I could starve to death.

558
00:23:39,185 --> 00:23:41,886
I'm glad you're home, honey.
But it reminds me

559
00:23:41,988 --> 00:23:43,354
Earl is not gonna
make the Turkey this year.

560
00:23:43,456 --> 00:23:44,588
Holly's here.

561
00:23:44,690 --> 00:23:47,191
- Dad!
- His Turkey's very dry, honey.

562
00:23:47,293 --> 00:23:48,993
- Have you been listening to me?

563
00:23:49,095 --> 00:23:50,861
- Yes, honey,
but you're just tired

564
00:23:50,963 --> 00:23:52,763
from the train ride up here,
which reminds me

565
00:23:52,865 --> 00:23:54,298
we'll talk about it
in the morning

566
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:55,499
when you make
your holiday breakfast.

567
00:23:55,601 --> 00:23:57,601
You're gonna love her scones.

568
00:23:59,906 --> 00:24:02,273
- Welcome home, honey,
and Merry Christmas.

569
00:24:17,523 --> 00:24:18,355
Hello.

570
00:24:18,458 --> 00:24:19,657
- Holly.
- Oh, Mr. Jennings. Hi.

571
00:24:19,759 --> 00:24:21,525
- How's your dad?
- No, he's OK.

572
00:24:21,627 --> 00:24:24,728
I-I'll definitely be in the
office next week, no problem.

573
00:24:24,831 --> 00:24:26,931
- Well, then you'll be
the only one.

574
00:24:27,033 --> 00:24:29,099
I'm havin' my skiis waxed
as we speak,

575
00:24:29,202 --> 00:24:32,102
and our clients'll all be
into vacation mode by next week,

576
00:24:32,205 --> 00:24:33,871
which is what
you should be doing.

577
00:24:33,973 --> 00:24:35,873
- Uh, yeah.
I don't need a vacation.

578
00:24:35,975 --> 00:24:37,341
I don't want a vacation.

579
00:24:37,443 --> 00:24:40,177
- Which, as I recall,
is exactly what you said

580
00:24:40,279 --> 00:24:42,746
this time last year
and the year before.

581
00:24:42,849 --> 00:24:44,615
- Uh, yeah, but I love my work.

582
00:24:44,717 --> 00:24:46,917
- There'll be plenty of work
after the holidays.

583
00:24:47,019 --> 00:24:48,452
Meantime, we got you covered.

584
00:24:48,554 --> 00:24:51,255
Look after your dad
and try to enjoy yourself.

585
00:24:51,357 --> 00:24:53,390
- Yeah. No, see,
that's the thing. I...

586
00:24:53,493 --> 00:24:55,259
- Give your dad our best.
- No, wait. Mr...

587
00:24:55,361 --> 00:24:56,760
- And, Holly, Merry Christmas.

588
00:24:56,863 --> 00:24:59,463
- Wait. No. M-Mr. Jennings.

589
00:25:09,842 --> 00:25:11,208
What?

590
00:25:20,052 --> 00:25:22,920
"Past due." "Urgent."

591
00:25:23,022 --> 00:25:25,689
Dad, what have you been doing?

592
00:25:25,791 --> 00:25:28,459
All these urgent notices,
these bills.

593
00:25:28,561 --> 00:25:30,160
- I'm just a little behind,
that's all.

594
00:25:30,263 --> 00:25:31,128
- A little behind?

595
00:25:31,230 --> 00:25:33,731
Dad, some of these bills
are 6 months old.

596
00:25:33,833 --> 00:25:35,266
- Well, we had
a couple slow years,

597
00:25:35,368 --> 00:25:37,167
a-and I kept up
until my savings ran out.

598
00:25:37,270 --> 00:25:38,702
- Why didn't you tell me?

599
00:25:38,804 --> 00:25:40,304
- Honey, you have your own life.

600
00:25:40,406 --> 00:25:42,573
I'm not gonna trouble you
with my problems.

601
00:25:42,675 --> 00:25:44,675
Besides, it's December,

602
00:25:44,777 --> 00:25:47,011
and that's always
our best month, remember?

603
00:25:47,113 --> 00:25:48,879
- They can come after
your assets, dad.

604
00:25:48,981 --> 00:25:50,381
Do you know what that means?

605
00:25:50,483 --> 00:25:53,217
- Who's gonna do
a thing like that to Santa?

606
00:25:53,319 --> 00:25:56,520
- These bills
aren't made out to Santa.

607
00:25:56,622 --> 00:25:58,522
They're made out to Nick Crosby.

608
00:25:58,624 --> 00:25:59,790
- You always were a worrier.

609
00:25:59,892 --> 00:26:02,726
Honey, you have to have
a little faith.

610
00:26:02,828 --> 00:26:04,962
Wonderful things
can happen at Christmas.

611
00:26:05,064 --> 00:26:08,399
- Well, then you better come up
with a real miracle, dad.

612
00:26:08,501 --> 00:26:12,036
Otherwise, this time next year,
there won't be a Santaville.

613
00:26:31,157 --> 00:26:32,923
- Thank you for seeing me here

614
00:26:33,025 --> 00:26:34,925
on such short notice,
Mr. Corwell.

615
00:26:35,027 --> 00:26:38,395
- Holly, I just wish we were meeting
under better circumstances.

616
00:26:38,497 --> 00:26:40,764
Around here,
we all love our Santa.

617
00:26:40,866 --> 00:26:42,833
- You've known my father
for 30 years.

618
00:26:42,935 --> 00:26:45,636
This bank loaned him the money
to buy the property,

619
00:26:45,738 --> 00:26:47,738
to renovate the buildings,
to create Santaville.

620
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,808
You know the economic impact
he's had on the community,

621
00:26:50,910 --> 00:26:52,343
the tourists he's brought in...

622
00:26:52,445 --> 00:26:53,544
- Of course he has.

623
00:26:53,646 --> 00:26:55,412
I used to take my family
every year.

624
00:26:55,514 --> 00:26:58,515
It was a family tradition.
Now my grandkids,

625
00:26:58,618 --> 00:27:01,018
they've got, like, 500 channels.

626
00:27:01,120 --> 00:27:04,088
What do they care
about Santaville?

627
00:27:04,190 --> 00:27:05,990
- All the time
and love my father

628
00:27:06,092 --> 00:27:08,659
has put into this town,
that has to mean something.

629
00:27:08,761 --> 00:27:09,593
- Yes, it does.

630
00:27:09,695 --> 00:27:10,861
It means the world

631
00:27:10,963 --> 00:27:13,931
to anyone who remembers
what Santaville once was.

632
00:27:14,033 --> 00:27:15,399
- But it's still there.

633
00:27:15,501 --> 00:27:17,201
- People only drive
through here now

634
00:27:17,303 --> 00:27:20,104
because we're on the way
to the ski lifts.

635
00:27:20,206 --> 00:27:22,906
We're lucky
if they even stop for gas.

636
00:27:23,009 --> 00:27:25,442
Why would they stop
for Santaville?

637
00:27:26,712 --> 00:27:28,078
I'm sorry, Holly.

638
00:27:28,180 --> 00:27:31,915
I've already extended your father
more credit than I should have.

639
00:28:18,030 --> 00:28:19,430
- Dad!

640
00:28:34,013 --> 00:28:35,312
- Earl, are you here?

641
00:28:35,414 --> 00:28:37,181
Supposed to be out there
on that sleigh.

642
00:28:37,283 --> 00:28:39,817
- Have a heart. I'm freezin'
my bells off out there.

643
00:28:39,919 --> 00:28:41,919
Besides, haven't had
a visitor since lunch.

644
00:28:42,021 --> 00:28:44,354
- Well, kids used to play hooky
just to come here in December.

645
00:28:44,457 --> 00:28:45,389
- It's the Internet.

646
00:28:45,491 --> 00:28:47,091
They're sending
virtual Christmas cards

647
00:28:47,193 --> 00:28:49,126
and living virtual lives. Hey!

648
00:28:49,228 --> 00:28:52,196
Ran into John Corwell
on my way back from the mall.

649
00:28:52,298 --> 00:28:53,797
Says Holly was up to see him.

650
00:28:53,899 --> 00:28:57,134
- Yeah. She's takin' care of
a couple of things for me.

651
00:28:57,236 --> 00:28:58,202
- What kind of things?

652
00:28:58,304 --> 00:29:01,105
- She's takin' care of 'em.
She always does.

653
00:29:01,207 --> 00:29:03,273
- Nick...

654
00:29:03,375 --> 00:29:05,375
I been your friend, your lawyer

655
00:29:05,478 --> 00:29:07,144
since longer
than I can remember.

656
00:29:07,246 --> 00:29:08,145
Whatever's goin' on,

657
00:29:08,247 --> 00:29:11,081
you know I'll help
in any way I can.

658
00:29:11,183 --> 00:29:13,283
- I know that, Earl.

659
00:29:13,385 --> 00:29:16,653
You don't have 50 grand
stuck in that boot, do you?

660
00:29:16,756 --> 00:29:19,723
- $50,000?

661
00:29:19,825 --> 00:29:21,358
- It's funny how some numbers
will make the hair

662
00:29:21,460 --> 00:29:22,726
on the back of your neck
stand up.

663
00:29:22,828 --> 00:29:24,795
Earl...

664
00:29:24,897 --> 00:29:26,730
Gonna be all right. Don't worry.

665
00:29:26,832 --> 00:29:28,565
Get back out there.

666
00:29:32,371 --> 00:29:35,139
- Ho ho ho!

667
00:29:44,216 --> 00:29:46,350
- When I saw that sleigh
upside down

668
00:29:46,452 --> 00:29:48,819
and your dad all catawampus
in the snow,

669
00:29:48,921 --> 00:29:51,555
I'm tellin' you, honey,
my heart stopped.

670
00:29:52,758 --> 00:29:54,925
It was a sweet thought, though.

671
00:29:56,762 --> 00:29:58,162
I'll give him that.

672
00:29:58,264 --> 00:30:00,397
Sleigh ride under a full moon.

673
00:30:00,499 --> 00:30:02,966
Heh. He can be quite the charmer
when he wants to be.

674
00:30:03,068 --> 00:30:05,536
- Is there something
I should know about?

675
00:30:05,638 --> 00:30:08,105
- Heh. You tell me,
and we'll both know.

676
00:30:08,207 --> 00:30:10,474
He flirts. I flirt back.

677
00:30:10,576 --> 00:30:12,376
Gets us through the day.

678
00:30:12,478 --> 00:30:15,779
- Well, thanks for
taking care of him, Ginny.

679
00:30:15,881 --> 00:30:17,614
I know he can be...

680
00:30:17,716 --> 00:30:19,049
Difficult sometimes.

681
00:30:19,151 --> 00:30:23,687
- He's not so bad, you know,
once you get used to him.

682
00:30:23,789 --> 00:30:26,390
And he sure has perked up
since you got home, honey.

683
00:30:26,492 --> 00:30:28,458
- Sure.

684
00:30:30,496 --> 00:30:33,564
- Sweetheart, is there something
that you wanna talk about?

685
00:30:33,666 --> 00:30:35,833
- Oh. No, nothing. I'm fine.

686
00:30:35,935 --> 00:30:37,067
I just, um...

687
00:30:37,169 --> 00:30:40,604
You know, I think that my...
My friends are runnin' late.

688
00:30:42,007 --> 00:30:44,508
- Well, I'm here
if you ever need me.

689
00:30:44,610 --> 00:30:45,542
OK?

690
00:30:52,618 --> 00:30:53,917
- Santaville inn.

691
00:31:08,334 --> 00:31:10,367
- I'm not staring. I swear.

692
00:31:11,203 --> 00:31:13,370
- Uh-huh.

693
00:31:13,472 --> 00:31:14,404
- But I'm wondering...

694
00:31:14,506 --> 00:31:17,274
And I know this'll
sound like a line. Uh...

695
00:31:17,376 --> 00:31:19,109
But do you come here often?

696
00:31:19,211 --> 00:31:22,312
- Yeah, why would that
sound like a line?

697
00:31:22,414 --> 00:31:24,081
- I'm genuinely curious.

698
00:31:24,183 --> 00:31:26,216
You don't look like a local.

699
00:31:26,318 --> 00:31:28,785
- Not for a long time.

700
00:31:28,888 --> 00:31:31,955
And you're not exactly
the Santaville type yourself.

701
00:31:32,057 --> 00:31:35,392
- I am staying here at the inn,
but I'm in from out of town

702
00:31:35,494 --> 00:31:37,327
visiting an old college friend
and his wife.

703
00:31:37,429 --> 00:31:39,930
I was actually supposed to meet
here at 4:00, but, uh...

704
00:31:40,032 --> 00:31:42,299
- Your friends wouldn't happen
to be Roger and Della Wallace?

705
00:31:42,401 --> 00:31:43,600
- How'd you know?

706
00:31:43,702 --> 00:31:46,169
- I... I was supposed
to meet them, too.

707
00:31:46,272 --> 00:31:48,538
- Wait a second.
Do you think they...

708
00:31:48,641 --> 00:31:52,042
- Yeah. Yeah, we've been set up,
big time.

709
00:31:52,144 --> 00:31:53,644
- Heh heh.

710
00:31:53,746 --> 00:31:56,179
Well, gee,
I wonder who that could be?

711
00:31:56,282 --> 00:31:58,148
- Ben, is that you?
- Hey, Roger.

712
00:31:58,250 --> 00:31:59,316
Yeah, I'm here.

713
00:31:59,418 --> 00:32:00,651
- Sorry I can't come.

714
00:32:00,753 --> 00:32:01,618
- Oh, no.

715
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:02,552
- Kids have fevers.

716
00:32:02,655 --> 00:32:03,520
- Fever, huh?

717
00:32:03,622 --> 00:32:04,488
- All 3 boys.

718
00:32:04,590 --> 00:32:05,822
- All 3 boys.

719
00:32:05,925 --> 00:32:08,158
Wow. That's terrible. I'm sorry.

720
00:32:08,260 --> 00:32:09,626
- Say hi to my friend.

721
00:32:09,728 --> 00:32:10,961
- Really? What's her name?

722
00:32:11,063 --> 00:32:12,062
- Holly Crosby.

723
00:32:12,164 --> 00:32:14,564
- Holly Crosby.
That's a pretty name.

724
00:32:14,667 --> 00:32:15,899
What's she look like?

725
00:32:16,001 --> 00:32:16,833
- Great.

726
00:32:16,936 --> 00:32:18,035
- How good-looking?

727
00:32:18,137 --> 00:32:19,069
- Exquisite.

728
00:32:19,171 --> 00:32:20,370
- Wow, that good-lookin', huh?

729
00:32:20,472 --> 00:32:21,905
- Say hi.
- OK, I will.

730
00:32:22,007 --> 00:32:24,508
Thanks, man.
I'll catch up with you later.

731
00:32:24,610 --> 00:32:25,509
- Yeah, later, man.

732
00:32:25,611 --> 00:32:26,576
- Bye.

733
00:32:26,679 --> 00:32:28,578
He wants me to introduce myself

734
00:32:28,681 --> 00:32:31,848
and explain his sons are sick.
You get the idea.

735
00:32:31,951 --> 00:32:33,250
- Yeah. Della.

736
00:32:33,352 --> 00:32:34,618
- Hi. I'm Ben Richards.

737
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,853
- You do not have to do this.

738
00:32:36,956 --> 00:32:38,088
- Oh, yes, I do.

739
00:32:38,190 --> 00:32:40,857
It would mean so much
to Roger and Della.

740
00:32:44,797 --> 00:32:45,829
- See over there?

741
00:32:45,931 --> 00:32:47,664
- Oh, yeah.

742
00:32:47,766 --> 00:32:49,299
- This is incredible.

743
00:32:49,401 --> 00:32:52,235
I didn't think places
like this still existed.

744
00:32:52,338 --> 00:32:54,271
- They are
an endangered species.

745
00:32:54,373 --> 00:32:57,007
- And your dad put all this
together himself?

746
00:32:57,109 --> 00:32:58,709
- Yeah, pretty much.

747
00:32:58,811 --> 00:33:01,244
I mean,
he was the creative force.

748
00:33:01,347 --> 00:33:02,846
But it was my mom

749
00:33:02,948 --> 00:33:05,649
who had all the business sense
in the family.

750
00:33:05,751 --> 00:33:09,186
I mean, she knew how much he was
into the whole Santa thing,

751
00:33:09,288 --> 00:33:12,589
and... and this way he could make
all those other kids really happy

752
00:33:12,691 --> 00:33:14,191
and still support his family.

753
00:33:14,293 --> 00:33:16,093
- Wow. Heh. You must have had,

754
00:33:16,195 --> 00:33:18,362
like, the most amazing
childhood on record.

755
00:33:19,598 --> 00:33:22,132
- I mean,
you grew up in Santaville.

756
00:33:22,234 --> 00:33:25,869
- Uh... heh.
It... it had its moments.

757
00:33:27,506 --> 00:33:29,339
- You mind if I ask you

758
00:33:29,441 --> 00:33:33,477
how your dad affords to keep
this place open all year round?

759
00:33:35,014 --> 00:33:37,347
- Um, he can't.

760
00:33:37,449 --> 00:33:38,782
Not anymore.

761
00:33:38,884 --> 00:33:41,018
- Oh, yeah? What do you mean?

762
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,086
- Oh. Well, look around.

763
00:33:43,188 --> 00:33:44,955
I mean, all these
beautiful buildings,

764
00:33:45,057 --> 00:33:47,024
but there's no people.

765
00:33:47,126 --> 00:33:48,191
Times have changed.

766
00:33:48,293 --> 00:33:51,261
Nobody's interested in
a traditional Christmas anymore.

767
00:33:51,363 --> 00:33:54,231
So now he's
in a bit of a pickle.

768
00:33:54,333 --> 00:33:56,700
- How bad is it?

769
00:33:56,802 --> 00:33:58,835
- He could lose everything.

770
00:33:58,937 --> 00:34:01,438
- Come on. This is
prime new england property,

771
00:34:01,540 --> 00:34:02,873
charming little town.

772
00:34:02,975 --> 00:34:05,242
I mean, you know
how the world works.

773
00:34:05,344 --> 00:34:06,977
It's gotta be worth somethin'.

774
00:34:07,079 --> 00:34:10,013
- Oh.
Selling is not an option.

775
00:34:10,115 --> 00:34:12,049
- Well, what about a loan then?

776
00:34:12,151 --> 00:34:15,352
- He couldn't borrow enough
to buy a candy cane.

777
00:34:15,454 --> 00:34:19,523
- In that case, it sounds to me
like you guys are in need

778
00:34:19,625 --> 00:34:22,159
of the services
of a good financial advisor.

779
00:34:22,261 --> 00:34:24,895
- Sure. I'll just Google one up.

780
00:34:24,997 --> 00:34:26,997
- Well, there's a rumor
goin' around

781
00:34:27,099 --> 00:34:28,932
that this new guy, Ben Richards,

782
00:34:29,034 --> 00:34:30,834
might know a thing or two.

783
00:34:30,936 --> 00:34:32,402
- You? Seriously?

784
00:34:32,504 --> 00:34:34,671
- I can't promise anything,
but...

785
00:34:34,773 --> 00:34:36,239
I might know some people.

786
00:34:36,341 --> 00:34:38,809
- People? What...
What does that mean?

787
00:34:38,911 --> 00:34:41,211
- Just means I can make
a couple of phone calls.

788
00:34:41,313 --> 00:34:42,279
If you'd like.

789
00:34:42,381 --> 00:34:43,213
- Are you kidding?

790
00:34:43,315 --> 00:34:44,981
Yes. Um, please.

791
00:34:45,084 --> 00:34:47,884
Gosh, I... I am in
way over my head here.

792
00:34:47,986 --> 00:34:51,388
Anything you could do for...
I just... I would be so...

793
00:34:52,491 --> 00:34:53,790
Thank you.

794
00:34:53,892 --> 00:34:56,693
- You're welcome, Holly.

795
00:35:01,133 --> 00:35:02,866
- Dad!

796
00:35:13,011 --> 00:35:13,844
- Oh.

797
00:35:13,946 --> 00:35:14,711
- Sorry. I... I...

798
00:35:14,813 --> 00:35:15,846
- No, that's OK.

799
00:35:15,948 --> 00:35:17,881
- I was looking for my father.

800
00:35:17,983 --> 00:35:20,517
- I think he's in the house.

801
00:35:20,619 --> 00:35:23,019
- Is this yours?

802
00:35:23,122 --> 00:35:25,055
- It's just a hobby.

803
00:35:25,157 --> 00:35:28,191
- No. They're...
They're beautiful.

804
00:35:28,293 --> 00:35:29,426
- Thank you.

805
00:35:29,528 --> 00:35:31,228
- Does my father
know about this?

806
00:35:31,330 --> 00:35:34,231
- I would say probably.
- Probably?

807
00:35:34,333 --> 00:35:36,800
- Well, I leave one
under his tree every year,

808
00:35:36,902 --> 00:35:39,269
but we've never actually
really talked about it.

809
00:35:39,371 --> 00:35:42,539
I have noticed he makes a point
never to come back here.

810
00:35:42,641 --> 00:35:45,308
Think he still wants
to believe in the magic.

811
00:35:50,949 --> 00:35:52,749
- Have you ever considered
marketing these?

812
00:35:52,851 --> 00:35:56,620
I mean, you just don't find this
kind of craftsmanship anymore.

813
00:35:58,390 --> 00:36:01,558
- Like I said, just a hobby.

814
00:36:02,995 --> 00:36:05,195
- Well, you must
really like nutcrackers.

815
00:36:06,231 --> 00:36:09,266
- Someone told me a story about
the ballet a long time ago.

816
00:36:09,368 --> 00:36:11,268
Been hooked ever since.

817
00:36:12,171 --> 00:36:13,904
Clara, Fritz,

818
00:36:14,006 --> 00:36:16,339
Herr Drosselmeyer.

819
00:36:21,980 --> 00:36:23,380
- Peter...

820
00:36:25,517 --> 00:36:26,750
- Hi.

821
00:36:28,187 --> 00:36:29,953
- You make things.

822
00:36:30,055 --> 00:36:31,955
- Yeah.

823
00:36:36,295 --> 00:36:37,861
- You just left.

824
00:36:39,865 --> 00:36:41,598
- I came back.

825
00:36:43,168 --> 00:36:45,235
- Yeah.

826
00:36:50,375 --> 00:36:53,977
I... I really have to
go find my father.

827
00:36:54,079 --> 00:36:56,112
Can we talk later?

828
00:36:56,215 --> 00:36:58,048
- Sure.

829
00:37:01,453 --> 00:37:03,687
- So I'll just see you.

830
00:37:03,789 --> 00:37:05,789
- OK.

831
00:37:22,241 --> 00:37:25,609
- So, Morgan, you've been
a good little girl all year?

832
00:37:25,711 --> 00:37:27,310
You've got a chimney?

833
00:37:27,412 --> 00:37:28,211
Good.

834
00:37:28,313 --> 00:37:29,813
You've got a list.

835
00:37:29,915 --> 00:37:31,147
Tiara.

836
00:37:31,250 --> 00:37:34,351
OK, we might have
a little trouble with the pony,

837
00:37:34,453 --> 00:37:36,987
but a charm bracelet, yeah,
red scooter,

838
00:37:37,089 --> 00:37:39,656
makeup set.

839
00:37:44,062 --> 00:37:45,629
- Dad.

840
00:37:45,731 --> 00:37:46,997
- Well?

841
00:37:47,099 --> 00:37:48,064
- Well, what?

842
00:37:48,166 --> 00:37:49,599
- Well, what's the plan
with Corwell?

843
00:37:49,701 --> 00:37:52,502
- Oh. There's no plan.
He couldn't help us.

844
00:37:52,604 --> 00:37:53,703
- What do you mean?

845
00:37:53,805 --> 00:37:55,272
- W... you're mortgaged
to the hilt, dad.

846
00:37:55,374 --> 00:37:57,307
The bank's in line
with everyone else.

847
00:37:57,409 --> 00:37:58,408
What did you expect?

848
00:37:58,510 --> 00:37:59,843
- I... I expected
a little loyalty,

849
00:37:59,945 --> 00:38:01,878
maybe a little faith
in an old friend.

850
00:38:01,980 --> 00:38:03,013
- Doesn't work that way.

851
00:38:03,115 --> 00:38:04,748
- Then what are
we gonna do about it?

852
00:38:04,850 --> 00:38:07,284
- I met someone today,
a financial advisor.

853
00:38:07,386 --> 00:38:09,953
- A financial advisor.
That's good. That's good. Yeah.

854
00:38:10,055 --> 00:38:11,855
- He's gonna try to help us.

855
00:38:11,957 --> 00:38:13,690
- Try? He's...
Wh-what does "try" mean?

856
00:38:13,792 --> 00:38:16,159
- I don't know, dad.
50 grand's a lot of money.

857
00:38:16,261 --> 00:38:17,560
I'm... I'm sorta wingin' it here.

858
00:38:17,663 --> 00:38:19,362
- Well, we gotta figure out
somethin', Holly.

859
00:38:19,464 --> 00:38:21,431
You have to stop this.
You have to!

860
00:38:21,533 --> 00:38:23,166
- Yeah, I know, dad. I get it.

861
00:38:23,268 --> 00:38:25,769
You're a wonderful man,
and this is your life,

862
00:38:25,871 --> 00:38:28,905
and the clock is ticking,
but maybe if you hadn't lived

863
00:38:29,007 --> 00:38:31,708
in such a blissful
state of denial for so long...

864
00:38:31,810 --> 00:38:34,244
- Do I look blissful to you?!
Is this blissful?!

865
00:38:34,346 --> 00:38:36,846
Holly, I'm trying
to save my home, our home,

866
00:38:36,948 --> 00:38:38,815
and I thought
you cared about that.

867
00:38:38,917 --> 00:38:40,583
- I do care, dad, but...

868
00:38:40,686 --> 00:38:43,053
- But see, that's the thing.
There is no buts, ever.

869
00:38:43,155 --> 00:38:44,621
You're either in, or you're out.

870
00:38:44,723 --> 00:38:46,389
That's the way it works.

871
00:38:46,491 --> 00:38:49,092
This is everything your mother
and I ever worked for,

872
00:38:49,194 --> 00:38:51,928
and if I lose Santaville,
then I have nothing.

873
00:38:53,365 --> 00:38:54,964
Nothing.

874
00:38:58,136 --> 00:38:59,436
- You have me!

875
00:39:10,082 --> 00:39:11,381
- Holly.

876
00:39:12,951 --> 00:39:14,017
- Ben. Hi.

877
00:39:14,119 --> 00:39:16,286
- I was just comin' to find you.

878
00:39:16,388 --> 00:39:18,922
You do know
it's December, right?

879
00:39:20,092 --> 00:39:21,658
- What is it?

880
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:22,959
- I wanted to tell you
right away.

881
00:39:23,061 --> 00:39:24,994
I made those phone calls
I was tellin' you about.

882
00:39:25,097 --> 00:39:26,463
I don't know.
This never happens.

883
00:39:26,565 --> 00:39:27,464
- What?

884
00:39:27,566 --> 00:39:29,666
- I don't wanna
get your hopes up too much,

885
00:39:29,768 --> 00:39:31,901
but these people
are very interested.

886
00:39:32,003 --> 00:39:32,769
- Seriously?

887
00:39:32,871 --> 00:39:33,837
- It's incredible.

888
00:39:33,939 --> 00:39:35,271
They got great ideas,
very creative.

889
00:39:35,374 --> 00:39:36,239
- Well, tell me.

890
00:39:36,341 --> 00:39:38,274
- No, I don't wanna say
too much.

891
00:39:38,377 --> 00:39:40,944
It's very fluid,
and I don't wanna jinx it.

892
00:39:41,046 --> 00:39:42,412
We'll call 'em in the morning.

893
00:39:42,514 --> 00:39:43,313
- Oh, come on, Ben.

894
00:39:43,415 --> 00:39:44,314
- Not until I'm sure.

895
00:39:44,416 --> 00:39:45,882
Think of it like having to wait

896
00:39:45,984 --> 00:39:47,817
until Christmas Eve
to open your presents.

897
00:39:48,653 --> 00:39:50,620
- Wait. You open your presents
on Christmas Eve?

898
00:39:50,722 --> 00:39:51,588
- Sure.

899
00:39:51,690 --> 00:39:53,189
What?

900
00:39:53,291 --> 00:39:55,725
- No, it's just that Santa
comes on Christmas Eve.

901
00:39:55,827 --> 00:39:57,327
The presents
are for Christmas morning.

902
00:39:57,429 --> 00:39:59,062
- OK. I'll remember that
from now on,

903
00:39:59,164 --> 00:40:01,030
but the point
is I may have just found

904
00:40:01,133 --> 00:40:03,133
that Christmas miracle
you've been hopin' for.

905
00:40:03,235 --> 00:40:05,068
- Thank you so much.

906
00:40:05,170 --> 00:40:07,404
- Oh! This is gonna be great.

907
00:40:08,940 --> 00:40:10,974
Thank you, Ben.

908
00:40:32,397 --> 00:40:33,696
- Covered bridge.

909
00:40:52,517 --> 00:40:53,349
- Hey.

910
00:40:53,452 --> 00:40:55,285
- Hi.

911
00:40:55,387 --> 00:40:56,519
I got your note.

912
00:40:56,621 --> 00:40:59,122
- Great.

913
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:03,560
- My mom used to bring me here

914
00:41:03,662 --> 00:41:05,695
when things would get
a little too crazy.

915
00:41:05,797 --> 00:41:08,998
Sometimes we wouldn't even talk.
We'd just listen to the water.

916
00:41:09,100 --> 00:41:12,101
I'd be all geeked out
about something or other,

917
00:41:12,204 --> 00:41:15,271
and that sound
would be so relaxing.

918
00:41:16,508 --> 00:41:20,310
She told me stories, and...
And we'd laugh, and...

919
00:41:20,412 --> 00:41:24,180
Yeah, and then I'd just forget
what was even bothering me.

920
00:41:24,282 --> 00:41:26,382
She always knew just what to do.

921
00:41:26,485 --> 00:41:28,251
- She sounds like
a great person.

922
00:41:28,353 --> 00:41:30,653
- She was.

923
00:41:30,755 --> 00:41:33,356
- Nick never talks about her.

924
00:41:34,659 --> 00:41:36,192
- Ah, you noticed.

925
00:41:37,529 --> 00:41:39,963
- None of my business.

926
00:41:46,605 --> 00:41:49,372
- When I was little,
family was his whole life...

927
00:41:49,474 --> 00:41:51,140
Me and my mom.

928
00:41:51,243 --> 00:41:53,543
When she died, he changed.

929
00:41:53,645 --> 00:41:55,345
I was 12.

930
00:41:55,447 --> 00:41:58,348
It's like the only way
he could hang on

931
00:41:58,450 --> 00:42:01,684
was to go all Santa
all the time.

932
00:42:01,786 --> 00:42:04,621
A heart big enough
to hold the whole world,

933
00:42:04,723 --> 00:42:10,260
but when it came
to his real family, me, well...

934
00:42:10,362 --> 00:42:11,995
- So you left.

935
00:42:12,097 --> 00:42:14,163
- Yep.

936
00:42:17,068 --> 00:42:20,503
That day in the toy shop,
why'd you disappear like that?

937
00:42:20,605 --> 00:42:22,472
- My parents were in a hurry.

938
00:42:22,574 --> 00:42:25,642
We, uh, still had a long drive
ahead of us.

939
00:42:25,744 --> 00:42:26,609
- Visiting relatives?

940
00:42:26,711 --> 00:42:27,877
- Back to school.

941
00:42:28,613 --> 00:42:30,213
- No, wait.
I-it was Christmas break.

942
00:42:30,315 --> 00:42:31,614
Everyone was out of school.

943
00:42:31,716 --> 00:42:34,284
- Yeah, well, they kept
the dorms open just in case.

944
00:42:34,386 --> 00:42:35,985
- In case of what?

945
00:42:36,087 --> 00:42:38,988
- In case your parents wanted to
fly to Europe for the holidays

946
00:42:39,090 --> 00:42:41,658
and taking you along didn't
exactly fit into their plans.

947
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:45,828
- Your parents left you in
boarding school over Christmas?

948
00:42:45,931 --> 00:42:48,097
- On the plus side, I got a lot
of extra studying done,

949
00:42:48,199 --> 00:42:51,200
which meant I graduated early,
moved to college,

950
00:42:51,303 --> 00:42:52,635
which really simplified

951
00:42:52,737 --> 00:42:55,371
mom and dad's plans
for the world cruise.

952
00:42:55,473 --> 00:42:57,740
- That must have been awful.

953
00:42:57,842 --> 00:43:00,610
- No. It was...
It was normal to me.

954
00:43:00,712 --> 00:43:02,011
Mmm...

955
00:43:02,113 --> 00:43:03,713
Actually all worked out.

956
00:43:03,815 --> 00:43:06,249
I went to college
for, like, a decade,

957
00:43:06,351 --> 00:43:08,284
got several degrees,

958
00:43:08,386 --> 00:43:12,088
and then dad tried to squeeze me
into his world of business.

959
00:43:12,190 --> 00:43:13,957
I rebelled, he cut me off,

960
00:43:14,059 --> 00:43:17,594
so I decided to do
some traveling of my own.

961
00:43:17,696 --> 00:43:20,830
I remembered a certain elf

962
00:43:20,932 --> 00:43:23,333
with a love of the ballet.

963
00:43:23,435 --> 00:43:25,234
Here I am.

964
00:43:25,337 --> 00:43:27,270
- You came back here
because of me?

965
00:43:27,372 --> 00:43:30,640
- That and Christmas
365 days a year.

966
00:43:33,044 --> 00:43:38,314
- I would have traded places
with you in a heartbeat.

967
00:43:40,518 --> 00:43:43,686
- Believe me, it wasn't all
candy canes and sleigh rides.

968
00:43:43,788 --> 00:43:45,688
- Ah, it doesn't have to be,

969
00:43:45,790 --> 00:43:48,524
as long as you have
someone who loves you

970
00:43:48,627 --> 00:43:51,361
and wants you to be happy,

971
00:43:51,463 --> 00:43:53,630
and that's
what you had here, Holly.

972
00:43:53,732 --> 00:43:55,999
It's what you still have here.

973
00:43:56,101 --> 00:43:58,067
It's all I ever wanted.

974
00:44:06,344 --> 00:44:09,078
- I, uh... I better take this.

975
00:44:12,917 --> 00:44:13,883
Hello.

976
00:44:13,985 --> 00:44:14,951
- Holly.

977
00:44:15,053 --> 00:44:16,452
- Ben, hi.

978
00:44:23,962 --> 00:44:26,729
- Tellin' you, Holly, I've never
seen a deal close this quickly.

979
00:44:26,831 --> 00:44:30,533
I mean, those folks are even willin'
to pay off all your father's bills,

980
00:44:30,635 --> 00:44:31,668
wipe the slate clean.

981
00:44:31,770 --> 00:44:33,269
- That's a lot of money.

982
00:44:33,371 --> 00:44:36,072
- Aw, 50 or 60 grand,
small change to these people.

983
00:44:36,174 --> 00:44:37,907
- Well, it's a fortune
around here.

984
00:44:38,009 --> 00:44:39,542
What do they get out of it?

985
00:44:39,644 --> 00:44:41,678
- Well, the timing
couldn't have been more perfect.

986
00:44:41,780 --> 00:44:43,446
These guys just quietly
closed a deal

987
00:44:43,548 --> 00:44:46,115
for controlling interest in 2
ski resorts just north of here,

988
00:44:46,217 --> 00:44:48,718
and the way they see it,
Santaville's just another way

989
00:44:48,820 --> 00:44:50,186
to draw more families
to the area.

990
00:44:50,288 --> 00:44:52,622
You know, stop here
on the way up, on the way back.

991
00:44:52,724 --> 00:44:54,824
You know, some kind of
package deal, maybe,

992
00:44:54,926 --> 00:44:56,559
free lift tickets
with every park pass,

993
00:44:56,661 --> 00:44:57,593
somethin' like that.

994
00:44:57,696 --> 00:44:58,861
- Yeah, that could...
That could work.

995
00:44:58,963 --> 00:45:01,197
- And after all, Roger's been
tellin' me for years

996
00:45:01,299 --> 00:45:03,633
this little burg
is about to explode, so...

997
00:45:03,735 --> 00:45:07,470
And anyway, point is your dad's
not hangin' in the wind anymore.

998
00:45:07,572 --> 00:45:08,805
He's got partners now.

999
00:45:08,907 --> 00:45:12,241
- Oh, he won't let anyone
tell him how to run this place.

1000
00:45:12,343 --> 00:45:13,976
- Oh, no, no, no.
Silent partners. Absolutely.

1001
00:45:14,079 --> 00:45:16,012
Don't worry.
Your dad's still the man.

1002
00:45:16,114 --> 00:45:20,349
- It sounds perfect.
Thank you.

1003
00:45:21,386 --> 00:45:22,952
- Think he'll go for it?

1004
00:45:23,054 --> 00:45:25,521
- How could he say no?

1005
00:45:26,658 --> 00:45:29,625
- No. I've never needed anyone's
help to run this place

1006
00:45:29,728 --> 00:45:33,262
besides Holly and her mother,
and I don't intend to start now.

1007
00:45:33,364 --> 00:45:35,064
- It's a good deal, Mr. Crosby.

1008
00:45:35,166 --> 00:45:37,500
It's better than you'll find
anyplace else.

1009
00:45:37,602 --> 00:45:39,001
- I need money, not partners.

1010
00:45:39,104 --> 00:45:41,571
- Silent partners, dad.
You'd still be in charge.

1011
00:45:41,673 --> 00:45:44,707
- Oh, and how would these silent
partners get their money back?

1012
00:45:44,809 --> 00:45:46,709
They do want
their money back, right?

1013
00:45:46,811 --> 00:45:49,479
- Aw, eventually, of course,
and with fair market interest,

1014
00:45:49,581 --> 00:45:52,281
but not until
you're back on your feet.

1015
00:45:52,383 --> 00:45:56,619
- But in the meantime,
they'd own a piece of my home.

1016
00:45:56,721 --> 00:45:57,720
- Technically that's true.

1017
00:45:57,822 --> 00:45:59,322
- But it would better
than losing your home,

1018
00:45:59,424 --> 00:46:01,557
which is what'll happen
if you don't do this soon.

1019
00:46:01,659 --> 00:46:02,592
- Not interested.

1020
00:46:02,694 --> 00:46:03,760
- At least read it.

1021
00:46:03,862 --> 00:46:06,295
- I don't have to read it.
I know exactly what it says.

1022
00:46:06,397 --> 00:46:08,731
It's a lot of legal words
that boils down to one thing.

1023
00:46:08,833 --> 00:46:11,734
You gave up on Santaville years
ago, and you're doin' it again.

1024
00:46:11,836 --> 00:46:14,203
- Gave up?
Dad, I went to college.

1025
00:46:14,305 --> 00:46:16,105
I got a job, a career.

1026
00:46:16,207 --> 00:46:18,141
- Right, and you were
supposed to come back here

1027
00:46:18,243 --> 00:46:21,477
and be my number one elf
and help me run this place.

1028
00:46:21,579 --> 00:46:24,480
- I mean, that... that's all
I ever really was to you,

1029
00:46:24,582 --> 00:46:25,648
just some silly mascot

1030
00:46:25,750 --> 00:46:28,851
dressed up in a costume
all these years.

1031
00:46:28,953 --> 00:46:30,820
- You know better than that.

1032
00:46:30,922 --> 00:46:32,588
- How would I know?

1033
00:46:32,690 --> 00:46:34,490
When did you ever tell me?

1034
00:46:34,592 --> 00:46:39,028
Since mom died,
when did you once say to me...

1035
00:46:46,037 --> 00:46:47,370
- Good day, Ben.

1036
00:46:59,317 --> 00:47:02,451
- You are a damn fool,
Nick Crosby.

1037
00:47:04,422 --> 00:47:05,621
- Shut up.

1038
00:47:32,183 --> 00:47:33,583
- Heard you were leaving.

1039
00:47:34,819 --> 00:47:36,252
Without saying good-bye?

1040
00:47:37,255 --> 00:47:38,321
- Good-bye, Peter.

1041
00:47:38,423 --> 00:47:40,189
- You know, sometimes people

1042
00:47:40,291 --> 00:47:42,758
don't know how
to say what they feel.

1043
00:47:42,861 --> 00:47:45,228
The words just won't come out.

1044
00:47:45,330 --> 00:47:47,597
Talk about everything
except what...

1045
00:47:47,699 --> 00:47:50,266
Really matters to him the most.

1046
00:47:51,903 --> 00:47:53,102
- Yeah.

1047
00:47:53,204 --> 00:47:54,103
Yeah, it's funny.

1048
00:47:54,205 --> 00:47:56,672
I always thought
I was a great listener.

1049
00:47:56,774 --> 00:48:00,343
I mean, I got 30 years
experience, so I ought to be.

1050
00:48:00,445 --> 00:48:03,579
Turns out I'm great at listenin'
to everyone but you,

1051
00:48:03,681 --> 00:48:05,748
and I'm really sorry, Holly,

1052
00:48:05,850 --> 00:48:07,316
and I wanna fix that.

1053
00:48:07,418 --> 00:48:10,219
- I just wanted you
to be my dad.

1054
00:48:11,189 --> 00:48:13,422
- That's all
I ever wanted to be.

1055
00:48:13,524 --> 00:48:15,324
- But you were always so busy

1056
00:48:15,426 --> 00:48:18,160
being jolly and merry
for everybody else,

1057
00:48:18,263 --> 00:48:19,395
always Santa.

1058
00:48:19,497 --> 00:48:22,932
- Well, maybe that's 'cause
it's easier to live in a world

1059
00:48:23,034 --> 00:48:25,935
where wishes do come true, OK,
where everybody is happy,

1060
00:48:26,037 --> 00:48:27,403
where nobody ever leaves me.

1061
00:48:27,505 --> 00:48:29,672
- I couldn't live
in that world, dad,

1062
00:48:29,774 --> 00:48:33,075
pretending like the past
never happened.

1063
00:48:33,177 --> 00:48:35,578
I still miss her all the time.

1064
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:37,813
- So do I. So do I, honey.

1065
00:48:37,916 --> 00:48:40,883
- But you never talk about her.
It's like she was never here.

1066
00:48:40,985 --> 00:48:42,718
- She was here.

1067
00:48:45,189 --> 00:48:47,356
Some days, I think she still is,

1068
00:48:47,458 --> 00:48:49,292
because I can see her.

1069
00:48:50,662 --> 00:48:53,629
I can see her in your eyes,
your smile.

1070
00:48:53,731 --> 00:48:56,933
And when you laugh,
I can hear her.

1071
00:48:58,403 --> 00:49:01,537
She's been here a lot
these last few days.

1072
00:49:03,608 --> 00:49:05,174
- Really?

1073
00:49:07,312 --> 00:49:08,311
- Yeah.

1074
00:49:08,413 --> 00:49:11,614
It's a wonderful thing
havin' you come back home.

1075
00:49:12,951 --> 00:49:15,151
- I miss you, too, dad,

1076
00:49:15,253 --> 00:49:17,053
so much.

1077
00:49:22,527 --> 00:49:25,361
- Please don't leave,
honey, not yet.

1078
00:49:41,012 --> 00:49:42,078
- Mmm, scones.

1079
00:49:42,180 --> 00:49:45,181
You know, I... I thought about
what you said last night

1080
00:49:45,283 --> 00:49:47,583
about how I never
talked about your mother.

1081
00:49:47,685 --> 00:49:49,118
- Dad, you don't have to.

1082
00:49:49,220 --> 00:49:50,419
- No, no, no. You're right.

1083
00:49:50,521 --> 00:49:53,622
You're right. I haven't,
and it's very selfish of me,

1084
00:49:53,725 --> 00:49:55,725
because she was
an amazing woman.

1085
00:49:56,828 --> 00:49:58,060
- I remember.

1086
00:49:58,162 --> 00:50:00,529
- But there's a lot
you don't remember,

1087
00:50:00,631 --> 00:50:04,000
and I want you to.
Important things.

1088
00:50:04,102 --> 00:50:06,502
So...

1089
00:50:06,604 --> 00:50:10,506
I figured it was about time
we opened this up.

1090
00:50:10,608 --> 00:50:12,241
Go ahead.

1091
00:50:18,983 --> 00:50:20,683
- Dad...

1092
00:50:23,721 --> 00:50:26,856
- In here is every letter,
card, and note

1093
00:50:26,958 --> 00:50:28,924
your mom ever sent to me.

1094
00:50:29,027 --> 00:50:33,029
I mean, a lot of the notes
are silly.

1095
00:50:33,131 --> 00:50:34,230
I saved everything.

1096
00:50:34,332 --> 00:50:36,832
"I'll always love you,"
and stuff that...

1097
00:50:36,934 --> 00:50:40,102
She'd sneak in my pants
in the morning, and...

1098
00:50:40,204 --> 00:50:42,071
Then I'd find it later.

1099
00:50:42,173 --> 00:50:44,607
Uh, she was funny.

1100
00:50:44,709 --> 00:50:48,144
Oh, and this is the first
Christmas card we ever made you.

1101
00:50:48,246 --> 00:50:49,078
Remember?

1102
00:50:49,180 --> 00:50:51,280
Ah.

1103
00:50:51,382 --> 00:50:53,382
Oh, and there's pictures.

1104
00:50:53,484 --> 00:50:55,651
Remember when
you won the spelling bee?

1105
00:50:55,753 --> 00:50:59,522
You were in the third grade, and
you beat the sixth graders. Huh?

1106
00:50:59,624 --> 00:51:03,592
And this is your mom and I's
first date.

1107
00:51:03,694 --> 00:51:05,628
Fancy.

1108
00:51:05,730 --> 00:51:09,999
And this is from our honeymoon,
when we went to Wisconson Dales.

1109
00:51:10,101 --> 00:51:13,936
Lot of people go to Vegas, but
not good enough for your mom.

1110
00:51:14,705 --> 00:51:16,906
Oh, and this.

1111
00:51:18,609 --> 00:51:21,277
The night I asked her
to marry me...

1112
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:25,081
I gave her this ring.

1113
00:51:25,183 --> 00:51:29,785
And our wedding rings
are in here, too.

1114
00:51:29,887 --> 00:51:31,754
And I want you to have this,

1115
00:51:31,856 --> 00:51:34,290
and maybe one day...

1116
00:51:34,892 --> 00:51:37,126
You'll need 'em.

1117
00:51:41,065 --> 00:51:42,965
And then there's this.

1118
00:51:49,841 --> 00:51:51,373
- Mistletoe?

1119
00:51:51,476 --> 00:51:55,177
- This is from the first night
I met your mom.

1120
00:51:55,279 --> 00:51:58,214
My friends were havin' a party,
and I almost didn't go,

1121
00:51:58,316 --> 00:52:01,117
but I did,
and I walked in the door,

1122
00:52:01,219 --> 00:52:05,254
and I saw your mom standing in the
moonlight under the mistletoe.

1123
00:52:07,125 --> 00:52:09,391
- Moonlight and mistletoe.

1124
00:52:09,494 --> 00:52:11,327
- Yeah.

1125
00:52:11,429 --> 00:52:14,230
And so, I don't know
what got into me,

1126
00:52:14,332 --> 00:52:16,732
but I went right up
and kissed her.

1127
00:52:16,834 --> 00:52:18,434
And it could've gone either way,

1128
00:52:18,536 --> 00:52:21,637
'cause your mom was
very beautiful, and I was, uh...

1129
00:52:21,739 --> 00:52:23,472
Me...

1130
00:52:23,574 --> 00:52:27,543
But as luck would have it,
it went my way,

1131
00:52:27,645 --> 00:52:30,446
and about a year later,
you were born.

1132
00:52:31,582 --> 00:52:33,516
- That must have been some kiss.

1133
00:52:33,618 --> 00:52:35,518
- I think she thought so.

1134
00:52:35,620 --> 00:52:39,255
- And that's why you never
forget to hang the mistletoe.

1135
00:52:39,357 --> 00:52:41,690
- Yeah. Well, there was
a lot of Christmas magic

1136
00:52:41,792 --> 00:52:43,592
in the air that night for me.

1137
00:52:43,694 --> 00:52:47,062
We all need a little
Christmas magic once in a while.

1138
00:52:47,165 --> 00:52:50,132
And if the mistletoe helps,
I figure, "why not?"

1139
00:52:50,234 --> 00:52:53,335
You might need some
one day, too, so...

1140
00:52:53,437 --> 00:52:55,538
But that's me. I'm just...

1141
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:58,040
Probably just
a romantic old fool.

1142
00:53:00,845 --> 00:53:03,045
Anyway, I want you to...

1143
00:53:03,147 --> 00:53:04,346
Take care of her.

1144
00:53:04,448 --> 00:53:06,849
- I will.

1145
00:53:06,951 --> 00:53:08,918
And you're not old. Heh.

1146
00:53:09,020 --> 00:53:11,887
- I know. And I was thinkin'
about that other thing,

1147
00:53:11,989 --> 00:53:15,257
about the contract, and if
you think it's a good thing,

1148
00:53:15,359 --> 00:53:16,692
I'll sign it.

1149
00:53:16,794 --> 00:53:17,993
- You mean it?

1150
00:53:18,095 --> 00:53:19,161
- Yeah.

1151
00:53:19,263 --> 00:53:20,396
You're very smart, Holly.

1152
00:53:20,498 --> 00:53:21,931
You're like your mom.

1153
00:53:22,033 --> 00:53:24,767
And it's time
I started listening to you.

1154
00:53:24,869 --> 00:53:26,602
- You won't regret it, dad.

1155
00:53:26,704 --> 00:53:27,903
- I know. I know.

1156
00:53:28,005 --> 00:53:32,074
And I got Earl lookin' at all
the legal mumbo jumbo right now.

1157
00:53:32,176 --> 00:53:34,043
- Everything's gonna be OK.
I promise.

1158
00:53:34,145 --> 00:53:35,611
- I know, Holly.

1159
00:53:40,117 --> 00:53:41,383
I know.

1160
00:53:50,861 --> 00:53:51,994
- There you go.

1161
00:53:52,096 --> 00:53:53,395
- Thanks, Ginny.

1162
00:54:13,751 --> 00:54:16,719
- Decide to stay?

1163
00:54:16,821 --> 00:54:18,754
- Yeah.

1164
00:54:19,523 --> 00:54:20,823
- I'm glad.

1165
00:54:22,727 --> 00:54:24,393
- I, uh, noticed

1166
00:54:24,495 --> 00:54:27,596
that you've been working
in here all morning,

1167
00:54:27,698 --> 00:54:30,833
and I thought
you might like hot coffee.

1168
00:54:31,902 --> 00:54:34,503
- Oh. You read my mind.

1169
00:54:39,277 --> 00:54:40,743
- I wanted to thank you

1170
00:54:40,845 --> 00:54:42,278
for being there last night.

1171
00:54:42,380 --> 00:54:44,346
- I didn't do anything.

1172
00:54:44,448 --> 00:54:48,050
- No, you have a way of
simplifying the truth.

1173
00:54:48,152 --> 00:54:49,952
What you said really helped.

1174
00:54:50,988 --> 00:54:54,523
For the first time in years,
dad and I actually talked.

1175
00:54:54,625 --> 00:54:57,159
He even agreed
to sign the contract.

1176
00:54:59,430 --> 00:55:01,196
- So everything works out.

1177
00:55:01,299 --> 00:55:03,432
He gets to keep Santaville,
and, uh...

1178
00:55:03,534 --> 00:55:06,235
You get to go back to the city.

1179
00:55:07,538 --> 00:55:09,571
- Yeah.

1180
00:55:11,475 --> 00:55:14,176
- I was planning on taking
the sleigh out tonight.

1181
00:55:14,278 --> 00:55:16,445
Why don't you come with me.

1182
00:55:17,415 --> 00:55:20,749
- Uh, I'd like to,
but I'm meeting Ben.

1183
00:55:20,851 --> 00:55:24,253
He has to get the contract
to his people right away.

1184
00:55:24,355 --> 00:55:27,323
- Mmm.
Maybe I should get people.

1185
00:55:27,425 --> 00:55:29,124
Makes you sound more important.

1186
00:55:29,226 --> 00:55:31,894
- The investors, OK?

1187
00:55:33,230 --> 00:55:34,697
- What's the rush?

1188
00:55:34,799 --> 00:55:36,165
- They need to get
this deal together

1189
00:55:36,267 --> 00:55:37,499
before the end of the quarter,

1190
00:55:37,601 --> 00:55:39,368
or else their tax liability
on the money doubles.

1191
00:55:39,470 --> 00:55:41,203
- And we can't have that.

1192
00:55:41,305 --> 00:55:43,706
- You really
don't like business, do you?

1193
00:55:43,808 --> 00:55:45,040
- Been there.

1194
00:55:46,544 --> 00:55:49,111
I prefer sleigh rides.

1195
00:55:51,282 --> 00:55:52,781
- Maybe another time.

1196
00:55:53,984 --> 00:55:55,050
- Sure.

1197
00:55:55,152 --> 00:55:56,919
I'm not goin' anywhere.

1198
00:56:17,174 --> 00:56:18,974
- OK, now where does this go?

1199
00:56:19,076 --> 00:56:21,777
- Um, on the top, Earl...

1200
00:56:21,879 --> 00:56:23,746
- Oh.
- Where it always goes...

1201
00:56:23,848 --> 00:56:25,080
Every year. Yeah. Yeah.

1202
00:56:25,182 --> 00:56:28,050
- Try not to swallow
this one whole, Nick Crosby.

1203
00:56:28,152 --> 00:56:29,718
- Ooh. Pie.

1204
00:56:29,820 --> 00:56:32,087
- You act like I'm made of pies.

1205
00:56:32,189 --> 00:56:33,922
- Well, see, that's our secret.

1206
00:56:34,024 --> 00:56:36,692
You make the pies,
and I eat the pies.

1207
00:56:36,794 --> 00:56:38,360
It's like words and music.

1208
00:56:38,462 --> 00:56:40,396
We belong together, you know,

1209
00:56:40,498 --> 00:56:42,931
like hot and toddy.

1210
00:56:43,033 --> 00:56:47,469
- Only Santa could get away with
a line like that. Mmm.

1211
00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:49,738
Wow. Look at you.

1212
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:51,473
- You look great, honey.

1213
00:56:51,575 --> 00:56:52,941
- Thank you.

1214
00:56:53,043 --> 00:56:54,309
- Somebody's got a hot date.

1215
00:56:54,412 --> 00:56:57,112
- No, it's not a date.
I'm just meeting Ben for dinner

1216
00:56:57,214 --> 00:56:59,248
to look over the paperwork.

1217
00:56:59,350 --> 00:57:02,985
Um, speaking of which, Earl,
do you have the contract?

1218
00:57:03,087 --> 00:57:04,987
- Uh, yeah.

1219
00:57:05,089 --> 00:57:05,954
Yeah.

1220
00:57:06,056 --> 00:57:07,723
- Anything I should know about?

1221
00:57:07,825 --> 00:57:11,627
- Um, n-no, it's all
pretty standard stuff.

1222
00:57:11,729 --> 00:57:13,462
I-it seems fine to me.

1223
00:57:13,564 --> 00:57:15,798
- Great. Dad, do you have a pen?

1224
00:57:15,900 --> 00:57:17,733
- Mm-hmm. Course I have a pen.

1225
00:57:17,835 --> 00:57:19,601
Heh.

1226
00:57:19,703 --> 00:57:20,969
- I'll go get one.

1227
00:57:21,071 --> 00:57:22,271
- OK, you get it.

1228
00:57:22,373 --> 00:57:25,207
Usually have a pen.

1229
00:57:27,344 --> 00:57:30,412
- Wow. I'm impressed.

1230
00:57:30,514 --> 00:57:33,048
I thought your dad
threw in the towel.

1231
00:57:33,150 --> 00:57:35,451
- Christmas is a time
for miracles.

1232
00:57:35,553 --> 00:57:38,053
- Heh. I'm gonna remember that
from now on.

1233
00:57:38,155 --> 00:57:40,622
- I can't thank you enough, Ben.

1234
00:57:40,724 --> 00:57:43,358
I mean, I feel like
this enormous weight

1235
00:57:43,461 --> 00:57:45,661
has been lifted
off my shoulders.

1236
00:57:45,763 --> 00:57:46,995
- Was happy to do it.

1237
00:57:47,097 --> 00:57:48,964
- For the first time in years,

1238
00:57:49,066 --> 00:57:52,134
I'll be able to enjoy
the holiday with my father,

1239
00:57:52,236 --> 00:57:53,902
and it's because of you.

1240
00:57:54,004 --> 00:57:55,537
- I can't take all the credit.

1241
00:57:55,639 --> 00:57:58,073
I mean, you're the one
that sold him on the idea.

1242
00:57:58,175 --> 00:57:59,041
Remember that.

1243
00:57:59,143 --> 00:58:00,609
And let's not forget
our silent partners.

1244
00:58:00,711 --> 00:58:02,778
They're the ones puttin' up
all that money.

1245
00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:03,946
- I know,

1246
00:58:04,048 --> 00:58:07,749
but still, I want you to know
how much it means to me.

1247
00:58:07,852 --> 00:58:11,487
And I was thinking
if you're not too busy,

1248
00:58:11,589 --> 00:58:15,224
maybe you wanna celebrate
Christmas here with dad and me.

1249
00:58:15,326 --> 00:58:18,494
We could have Della and... and
Roger and their... and their...

1250
00:58:20,831 --> 00:58:21,964
- Holly, you OK?

1251
00:58:22,066 --> 00:58:24,933
- Yeah. No, I'm fine.

1252
00:58:25,035 --> 00:58:27,069
It's just...

1253
00:58:27,171 --> 00:58:31,139
A minute ago, you said,
"our silent partners."

1254
00:58:31,242 --> 00:58:32,541
- No. Did I?

1255
00:58:32,643 --> 00:58:34,243
That's weird. Sorry.

1256
00:58:34,345 --> 00:58:36,778
Guess I just got caught up
in the moment.

1257
00:58:36,881 --> 00:58:38,947
Your silent partners, obviously.

1258
00:58:39,049 --> 00:58:40,349
But semantics aside,

1259
00:58:40,451 --> 00:58:43,852
I would be honored to join you
and your father for Christmas.

1260
00:58:43,954 --> 00:58:45,354
- Really? Great.

1261
00:58:46,357 --> 00:58:47,856
- Oh. I'm sorry.

1262
00:58:47,958 --> 00:58:50,425
Speaking of partners,
this is them right now.

1263
00:58:50,528 --> 00:58:53,262
Better go give them
the good news. You excuse me?

1264
00:58:53,364 --> 00:58:54,796
- Yes. Yes. Go. Go.

1265
00:58:54,899 --> 00:58:55,864
- 2 minutes.

1266
00:58:59,136 --> 00:59:01,270
Don't leave.

1267
00:59:03,674 --> 00:59:04,706
Guess what.

1268
00:59:04,808 --> 00:59:07,376
I got the signed contract
right here in my pocket.

1269
00:59:07,478 --> 00:59:08,610
- You did it, Ben. Great.

1270
00:59:08,712 --> 00:59:10,546
- I know.
I couldn't believe it either.

1271
00:59:10,648 --> 00:59:13,282
I thought we were
dead in the water, bro.

1272
00:59:15,619 --> 00:59:18,120
- Oh, hi. You know,
he's still on the...

1273
00:59:18,222 --> 00:59:21,857
You know what? Just leave it.
I'll go find him.

1274
00:59:21,959 --> 00:59:24,359
- Of course it's in there
exactly the way you wrote it.

1275
00:59:24,461 --> 00:59:25,460
- You're jokin'.

1276
00:59:25,563 --> 00:59:27,095
- No. It says
in black and white

1277
00:59:27,197 --> 00:59:28,664
if Nick Crosby can't repay

1278
00:59:28,766 --> 00:59:31,033
the entire amount in arrears
by Christmas day,

1279
00:59:31,135 --> 00:59:33,535
he forfeits all the property
to the investment group.

1280
00:59:33,637 --> 00:59:35,804
- They haven't a clue.
- I don't know.

1281
00:59:35,906 --> 00:59:38,006
I guess it was that fancy
legalese you came up with.

1282
00:59:38,108 --> 00:59:39,074
Slipped right past 'em.

1283
00:59:39,176 --> 00:59:40,309
- You're the best.

1284
00:59:40,411 --> 00:59:42,444
- This is working just like it
did in Killington, man.

1285
00:59:42,546 --> 00:59:45,747
Yeah, right.
That and my charm, of course.

1286
00:59:45,849 --> 00:59:47,316
- What charm?

1287
00:59:48,786 --> 00:59:51,153
Hey, don't forget
my finder's fee.

1288
00:59:51,255 --> 00:59:52,754
Later.

1289
00:59:54,358 --> 00:59:55,490
I'm sorry, dad.

1290
00:59:55,593 --> 00:59:59,294
I wanted this so much for you,
and I let my guard down.

1291
00:59:59,396 --> 01:00:01,029
- You gotta
give yourself a break.

1292
01:00:01,131 --> 01:00:02,264
You didn't know, honey.

1293
01:00:02,366 --> 01:00:03,432
- I should have known.

1294
01:00:03,534 --> 01:00:06,034
I should have never trusted him.

1295
01:00:06,136 --> 01:00:08,837
- Honey, you can't blame
yourself for trusting people.

1296
01:00:08,939 --> 01:00:11,006
- He rode in
on his big white horse,

1297
01:00:11,108 --> 01:00:13,375
and I bought the whole act,
no questions asked.

1298
01:00:13,477 --> 01:00:14,409
He's a total pro.

1299
01:00:14,511 --> 01:00:15,744
He's done it before.

1300
01:00:15,846 --> 01:00:18,413
- Holly, it was not your fault.

1301
01:00:18,515 --> 01:00:19,848
- Earl, please.
- No.

1302
01:00:19,950 --> 01:00:21,483
If I had read the contract

1303
01:00:21,585 --> 01:00:23,652
like I was supposed to,
like you asked...

1304
01:00:23,754 --> 01:00:24,987
- Earl, stop.

1305
01:00:25,089 --> 01:00:27,756
- I don't know what it is.
I just... I can't seem to focus.

1306
01:00:27,858 --> 01:00:29,925
- You don't have to explain
yourself to anyone.

1307
01:00:30,027 --> 01:00:31,126
- I'd read a paragraph.

1308
01:00:31,228 --> 01:00:34,663
I couldn't remember where I was,
what I'd just read.

1309
01:00:34,765 --> 01:00:36,999
I guess when you get old,

1310
01:00:37,101 --> 01:00:41,036
you're the last person to know
that you've lost your touch.

1311
01:00:44,675 --> 01:00:48,176
- Earl, look,
it's not your fault.

1312
01:00:48,278 --> 01:00:49,077
You got it?

1313
01:00:49,179 --> 01:00:52,014
This is not your fault.
It's my fault.

1314
01:00:52,116 --> 01:00:55,150
It's my name on that contract.
I signed it.

1315
01:00:55,252 --> 01:00:56,518
OK?

1316
01:00:56,620 --> 01:00:59,187
I should have read
the fine print.

1317
01:01:00,357 --> 01:01:03,158
- It seems to me we should stop
worrying about who's to blame here

1318
01:01:03,260 --> 01:01:05,694
and start talkin' about
what are we gonna do about it?

1319
01:01:05,796 --> 01:01:06,628
- Exactly.

1320
01:01:06,730 --> 01:01:08,397
Except that I signed
the contract,

1321
01:01:08,499 --> 01:01:10,499
so what can we do about it?

1322
01:01:14,338 --> 01:01:16,838
- Can people just get away
with this sort of thing?

1323
01:01:16,940 --> 01:01:19,474
Waltz in and take
someone's home and business

1324
01:01:19,576 --> 01:01:21,276
just because of
some stupid piece of paper?

1325
01:01:21,378 --> 01:01:23,045
- Sadly, it happens every day.

1326
01:01:23,147 --> 01:01:25,247
- Well, it's not right.

1327
01:01:25,349 --> 01:01:29,518
- It's not right,
and I'm not gonna let him do it.

1328
01:01:31,155 --> 01:01:33,955
Dad, I thought
I was helping you.

1329
01:01:34,958 --> 01:01:37,426
I just made things worse.
I am sorry.

1330
01:01:37,528 --> 01:01:38,360
- No, you didn't.

1331
01:01:38,462 --> 01:01:40,395
- But we haven't
lost Santaville yet,

1332
01:01:40,497 --> 01:01:43,532
and I will not let it go
without a fight.

1333
01:01:43,634 --> 01:01:45,634
- Yeah.
- That's right.

1334
01:01:48,272 --> 01:01:49,905
- What have I done?

1335
01:01:51,241 --> 01:01:54,276
- Somebody call
for a one-horse open sleigh?

1336
01:02:10,394 --> 01:02:12,928
Love the silence.

1337
01:02:14,832 --> 01:02:16,631
- It's peaceful.

1338
01:02:16,734 --> 01:02:17,999
- What was I thinking?

1339
01:02:18,102 --> 01:02:20,602
Someone who opens their presents
on Christmas Eve?

1340
01:02:20,704 --> 01:02:22,137
- Santa comes on Christmas Eve.

1341
01:02:22,239 --> 01:02:24,106
- I know. That's what I said.

1342
01:02:24,208 --> 01:02:25,373
- Poor Ben.

1343
01:02:25,476 --> 01:02:27,476
- Poor Ben?

1344
01:02:27,578 --> 01:02:29,277
- All he has to believe in

1345
01:02:29,379 --> 01:02:32,080
is finder's fees
and bottom lines.

1346
01:02:32,182 --> 01:02:35,684
On a night like this,
it's no way to live life.

1347
01:02:35,786 --> 01:02:38,653
- You didn't see
my father's face.

1348
01:02:38,756 --> 01:02:42,057
I'm not feeling very sympathetic
towards Ben at the moment.

1349
01:02:42,159 --> 01:02:45,026
- Maybe he'll reconsider,
tear up the contract.

1350
01:02:45,129 --> 01:02:46,094
- Never,

1351
01:02:46,196 --> 01:02:48,263
and he's got the only copy.

1352
01:02:48,365 --> 01:02:50,866
Fat chance I'll get
another look at it.

1353
01:02:52,202 --> 01:02:55,270
- How am I gonna get $50,000?

1354
01:02:55,372 --> 01:02:57,672
- Just have to bring
more visitors to Santaville,

1355
01:02:57,775 --> 01:02:58,974
a lot more.

1356
01:03:00,344 --> 01:03:02,410
- Christmas is less
than 3 weeks away.

1357
01:03:02,513 --> 01:03:06,515
We haven't had that many
visitors in the past 5 years.

1358
01:03:08,218 --> 01:03:09,751
Besides,
people came to Santaville

1359
01:03:09,853 --> 01:03:11,019
because they wanted to.

1360
01:03:11,121 --> 01:03:13,455
It meant something to them.

1361
01:03:13,557 --> 01:03:14,790
Della said so.

1362
01:03:14,892 --> 01:03:18,360
Even Mr. Corwell called it
a family tradition.

1363
01:03:18,462 --> 01:03:20,562
They remember what it was like.

1364
01:03:20,664 --> 01:03:22,564
- Mmm. It hasn't changed
that much.

1365
01:03:22,666 --> 01:03:23,799
- No, it hasn't.

1366
01:03:23,901 --> 01:03:26,134
Times have changed,

1367
01:03:26,236 --> 01:03:28,336
but they still remember.

1368
01:03:29,540 --> 01:03:31,206
Everybody remembers.

1369
01:03:31,308 --> 01:03:33,909
The whole town remembers.

1370
01:03:34,812 --> 01:03:37,646
They remember what Santaville
used to be,

1371
01:03:37,748 --> 01:03:40,982
because it's the way
they want it to be.

1372
01:03:41,785 --> 01:03:43,051
- You're right.

1373
01:03:46,056 --> 01:03:48,790
- If we could find a way
to show them

1374
01:03:48,892 --> 01:03:53,762
that it's not all in the past,
that Santaville is still here,

1375
01:03:53,864 --> 01:03:56,765
that it's still
just the way they remember...

1376
01:03:56,867 --> 01:03:58,433
- They'd come back.

1377
01:03:59,536 --> 01:04:01,303
- They'd come back.

1378
01:04:05,576 --> 01:04:06,975
Yeah.

1379
01:04:07,077 --> 01:04:10,245
- Yeah. I don't get this.
What's it called again?

1380
01:04:10,347 --> 01:04:11,479
- It's a blog, dad.

1381
01:04:11,582 --> 01:04:14,883
It's like a journal,
but you write it on our website.

1382
01:04:14,985 --> 01:04:16,985
We have to get the word out,

1383
01:04:17,087 --> 01:04:19,154
not just to the town,
but everywhere.

1384
01:04:19,256 --> 01:04:21,289
- Yeah, but what
do I write about?

1385
01:04:21,391 --> 01:04:22,891
- You write about Santa's day,

1386
01:04:22,993 --> 01:04:25,360
you know, like... like toys
and reindeer and elves.

1387
01:04:25,462 --> 01:04:28,096
- You know, "blog," that... that
sounds like a holiday drink.

It was brilliant.

01:05:16,813 --> 01:05:17,913

1410
01:05:34,031 --> 01:05:35,397
We gotta make people
remember this.

1411
01:05:35,499 --> 01:05:36,865
- Uh, how are we gonna do that?

1412
01:05:36,967 --> 01:05:39,634
- Well, since it's 21st century,
I think I'll be bloggin'.

1413
01:05:39,736 --> 01:05:42,637
Plus I'm gonna call every guest
that's passed through the inn

1414
01:05:42,739 --> 01:05:46,141
and let them know that for the
first time in too many years,

1415
01:05:46,243 --> 01:05:48,243
the annual Santaville tree-lighting
ceremony is gonna happen!

1416
01:05:48,345 --> 01:05:49,210

1444
01:07:10,827 --> 01:07:12,660
It's Santa.

1445
01:07:14,831 --> 01:07:16,097
Claus.

1446
01:07:16,199 --> 01:07:17,966
Santa Claus.

1447
01:07:18,068 --> 01:07:18,967
Yeah. Yeah.

1448
01:07:19,069 --> 01:07:20,602
- I keep getting calls
from people

1449
01:07:20,704 --> 01:07:23,338
who've seen the TV interview
I did this morning.

1450
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:24,305
Word is spreading.

1451
01:07:24,408 --> 01:07:25,907
- I wish your mother was here.

1452
01:07:26,009 --> 01:07:28,476
She'd be as proud of you
as I am.

1453
01:07:28,578 --> 01:07:29,978
I've got...

1454
01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:30,912
- Yeah.

1455
01:07:31,014 --> 01:07:33,214
She'd be proud of both of us.

1456
01:07:33,316 --> 01:07:35,784
And she is here,
in the moonlight and...

1457
01:07:35,886 --> 01:07:37,919
Hey, we forgot to hang
the mistletoe.

1458
01:07:38,021 --> 01:07:41,189
- Well, we've had a few things
on our mind, honey.

1459
01:07:41,291 --> 01:07:43,058
I think your mom
would understand.

1460
01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:43,992
- You're right.

1461
01:07:44,094 --> 01:07:46,628
She'd also understand
about Ginny.

1462
01:07:46,730 --> 01:07:47,962
- I haven't done anything,
though.

1463
01:07:48,065 --> 01:07:50,031
- Uh, I understand, too.

1464
01:07:50,133 --> 01:07:52,133
She's terrific.

1465
01:07:52,235 --> 01:07:54,536
Go for it.

1466
01:07:54,638 --> 01:07:56,037
- Thanks, honey.

1467
01:07:58,442 --> 01:08:00,041
Welcome, everybody, welcome,

1468
01:08:00,143 --> 01:08:03,144
to Santaville's Christmas tree
lighting ceremony.

1469
01:08:03,246 --> 01:08:06,381
- Mom, are they really
gonna light the Christmas tree?

1470
01:08:06,483 --> 01:08:07,682
- Yes. You'll see.

1471
01:08:07,784 --> 01:08:09,751
- Hey, look.

1472
01:08:12,989 --> 01:08:15,256
- OK, love the fur.

1473
01:08:15,358 --> 01:08:17,592
Hey, Willy! Where's Willy?

1474
01:08:17,694 --> 01:08:18,660
- Here I am.

1475
01:08:18,762 --> 01:08:20,061
- There you go, Willy.

1476
01:08:20,163 --> 01:08:21,396
- Seriously?

1477
01:08:21,498 --> 01:08:24,299
- Yes. Like I said,
Christmas is a magical time

1478
01:08:24,401 --> 01:08:26,134
where wonderful things
can happen, so...

1479
01:08:26,236 --> 01:08:28,470
Light 'em up, Willy!

1480
01:08:39,316 --> 01:08:40,248
- What's up there?

1481
01:08:40,350 --> 01:08:42,817
- Santa, I love Christmas.

1482
01:08:42,919 --> 01:08:44,953
- I know you do.

1483
01:08:46,423 --> 01:08:47,822
- High-five.

1484
01:08:47,924 --> 01:08:48,723
Yeah!

1485
01:08:48,825 --> 01:08:50,592
- It's beautiful.

1486
01:08:51,661 --> 01:08:54,596
- I'm tellin' you,
there is nothin' to worry about.

1487
01:08:54,698 --> 01:08:57,832
Because 50 grand is a lot
of money to these people.

1488
01:08:57,934 --> 01:09:00,101
There's no way
they're gonna raise it

1489
01:09:00,203 --> 01:09:02,303
sellin' reindeer rides
and fruitcake.

1490
01:09:10,046 --> 01:09:10,879
I will.

1491
01:09:10,981 --> 01:09:12,547
I'll keep you posted.

1492
01:09:25,395 --> 01:09:26,961
- There he is.

1493
01:09:27,063 --> 01:09:29,330
- Come on, guys.
Santa's right up here.

1494
01:09:29,432 --> 01:09:30,999
You can go see him.

1495
01:09:31,101 --> 01:09:32,534
Watch the train right here.

1496
01:09:32,636 --> 01:09:34,536
Santa's right... right up there.
Keep going.

1497
01:09:34,638 --> 01:09:35,870
Keep going. Santa's there.

1498
01:09:35,972 --> 01:09:38,039
Hi!

1499
01:09:38,141 --> 01:09:41,075
- Hey, tried calling.

1500
01:09:42,546 --> 01:09:44,245
Come on, Holly.

1501
01:09:45,282 --> 01:09:46,748
It was just business.

1502
01:09:46,850 --> 01:09:48,383
- Just business?

1503
01:09:48,485 --> 01:09:50,718
Swindling my father
out of his home?

1504
01:09:50,820 --> 01:09:53,054
Out of his life savings?
That's just business?

1505
01:09:53,156 --> 01:09:54,789
- Come on. You're a smart girl.

1506
01:09:54,891 --> 01:09:57,192
You're not like
the rest of these locals.

1507
01:09:57,294 --> 01:10:00,428
Hey, you understand the way
things work in the real world.

1508
01:10:00,530 --> 01:10:02,197
- No, not this way, not for me.

1509
01:10:02,299 --> 01:10:03,831
- What do you want me to say?

1510
01:10:03,934 --> 01:10:04,866
"I'm sorry"?

1511
01:10:04,968 --> 01:10:06,334
Fine. Sorry.

1512
01:10:06,436 --> 01:10:08,002
Sorry doesn't feed the cat.

1513
01:10:08,104 --> 01:10:09,270
And come Christmas Eve,

1514
01:10:09,372 --> 01:10:11,973
you're still not gonna have
enough money to save this place.

1515
01:10:12,075 --> 01:10:13,541
- You were here last night.

1516
01:10:13,643 --> 01:10:16,477
You saw the crowds.
They're comin' back.

1517
01:10:16,580 --> 01:10:17,445
- OK, look,

1518
01:10:17,547 --> 01:10:19,781
there's no reason
you and your father

1519
01:10:19,883 --> 01:10:22,383
have to walk away
from this empty-handed, OK?

1520
01:10:22,485 --> 01:10:24,552
- Are you...
Are you trying to bribe me?

1521
01:10:24,654 --> 01:10:26,888
- No. That's not what I meant.

1522
01:10:26,990 --> 01:10:28,690
- We must have you
really nervous, Ben.

1523
01:10:28,792 --> 01:10:29,924
What's the matter?

1524
01:10:30,026 --> 01:10:32,093
Afraid you're gonna lose
your finder's fee?

1525
01:10:32,195 --> 01:10:34,996
- Heh. Was just tryin'
to do you a favor.

1526
01:10:35,098 --> 01:10:37,332
- Yeah, I've had enough
of your favors.

1527
01:10:37,434 --> 01:10:39,300
This place is my home.

1528
01:10:39,402 --> 01:10:42,604
Your heartless soul
isn't welcome here anymore.

1529
01:10:42,706 --> 01:10:44,472
Get out.

1530
01:10:44,574 --> 01:10:46,841
- You can't win this, Holly.

1531
01:10:49,045 --> 01:10:51,212
You know that.

1532
01:11:00,523 --> 01:11:02,390
- I was out there
with my grandkids,

1533
01:11:02,492 --> 01:11:03,992
and we had a wonderful time.

1534
01:11:04,094 --> 01:11:06,127
They just loved it.
It was so magical.

1535
01:11:06,229 --> 01:11:07,228
- That's great, Mr. Corwell,

1536
01:11:07,330 --> 01:11:09,397
because we're
kind of in a crunch here.

1537
01:11:09,499 --> 01:11:11,933
- Mr. Richards came by to introduce
himself to me a few days ago.

1538
01:11:12,035 --> 01:11:14,102
Then I don't need to tell you
what's at stake.

1539
01:11:14,204 --> 01:11:16,671
If you could use the money
we've made so far

1540
01:11:16,773 --> 01:11:18,106
as a kind of good-faith payment

1541
01:11:18,208 --> 01:11:20,041
to secure the rest
of what we need...

1542
01:11:20,143 --> 01:11:22,110
- You've deposited
nearly $28,000,

1543
01:11:22,212 --> 01:11:23,678
and that's very impressive,

1544
01:11:23,780 --> 01:11:26,848
but it still leaves you
with a substantial debt load.

1545
01:11:26,950 --> 01:11:28,683
- People are coming
from all over.

1546
01:11:28,785 --> 01:11:30,785
We still have 4 days
before Christmas.

1547
01:11:30,887 --> 01:11:33,388
- And then there's January,
which as you know,

1548
01:11:33,490 --> 01:11:35,923
is the slowest month
for any holiday business.

1549
01:11:36,026 --> 01:11:38,559
- This property has been
the lifeblood of my family.

1550
01:11:38,662 --> 01:11:41,663
My father cannot lose this.
I won't let it happen.

1551
01:11:41,765 --> 01:11:43,364
- I'm sorry, Holly.

1552
01:11:43,466 --> 01:11:45,667
- I am, too.

1553
01:11:46,436 --> 01:11:48,536
- I forgot how great it was

1554
01:11:48,638 --> 01:11:51,806
to have all those little
smilin' faces runnin' around.

1555
01:11:51,908 --> 01:11:55,076
- Yeah. It really brought
the old place back to life.

1556
01:11:55,178 --> 01:11:57,178
- Turns out people do remember

1557
01:11:57,280 --> 01:12:00,415
with a little help
from your awesome plan.

1558
01:12:00,517 --> 01:12:03,584
- Oh. Well, we... we wouldn't have
gotten anywhere without Peter.

1559
01:12:03,687 --> 01:12:06,521
- Yeah. You and Peter
make a good team.

1560
01:12:10,427 --> 01:12:11,626
- I read your blog.

1561
01:12:11,728 --> 01:12:14,162
Today was really sweet,
the way the encouraged the kids

1562
01:12:14,264 --> 01:12:16,164
to give a toy to a needy child.

1563
01:12:16,266 --> 01:12:17,932
- Yeah. Yeah,
it was sweet and...

1564
01:12:18,034 --> 01:12:19,133
Took a long time.

1565
01:12:19,235 --> 01:12:20,601
You know, that reminds me,

1566
01:12:20,704 --> 01:12:22,603
uh, all the kids are back now,

1567
01:12:22,706 --> 01:12:24,972
a-and they've all got
long lists for Santa,

1568
01:12:25,075 --> 01:12:27,575
and Santa's busy,
and he was wondering

1569
01:12:27,677 --> 01:12:30,378
if maybe his daughter could
take over the blog and...

1570
01:12:30,480 --> 01:12:31,312
For a little while.

1571
01:12:31,414 --> 01:12:33,081
- Don't you mean
Santa's number-one elf?

1572
01:12:33,183 --> 01:12:34,282
- No. Santa has a daughter,

1573
01:12:34,384 --> 01:12:37,018
and it's time the world
got to know her.

1574
01:12:38,555 --> 01:12:40,088
- I'd love to.
- Thank you.

1575
01:12:40,190 --> 01:12:42,256
- OK, dad,
why don't you go to bed.

1576
01:12:42,359 --> 01:12:43,725
I'll... I can finish up here.

1577
01:12:43,827 --> 01:12:45,560
- Well...

1578
01:12:45,662 --> 01:12:46,494
OK.

1579
01:12:46,596 --> 01:12:47,528
- OK.
- Night, honey.

1580
01:12:47,630 --> 01:12:48,930
- Good night.

1581
01:12:56,406 --> 01:12:59,340
This doesn't even come close
to what we owe.

1582
01:12:59,442 --> 01:13:02,243
I have a little bit of savings,
some equity in my condo.

1583
01:13:02,345 --> 01:13:04,612
I could take out
a second mortgage, but...

1584
01:13:04,714 --> 01:13:05,947
It's not enough.

1585
01:13:06,049 --> 01:13:07,548
- Talk to Nick about that?

1586
01:13:07,650 --> 01:13:09,450
- Yeah, you know what he'd say.

1587
01:13:09,552 --> 01:13:11,185
- And he'd be right.

1588
01:13:11,287 --> 01:13:12,987
- Excuse me?

1589
01:13:13,089 --> 01:13:16,090
It is my money.
I can do what I want with it,

1590
01:13:16,192 --> 01:13:18,926
and I am not gonna
let these people take my home.

1591
01:13:19,028 --> 01:13:21,162
- Heh.

1592
01:13:22,532 --> 01:13:24,265
- What are you smiling at?

1593
01:13:24,367 --> 01:13:26,100
- Nothin'.

1594
01:13:26,202 --> 01:13:29,370
It's just that you said,
"my home,"

1595
01:13:29,472 --> 01:13:31,606
not "his," "my."

1596
01:13:31,708 --> 01:13:34,075
- You know what I mean.

1597
01:13:34,177 --> 01:13:35,910
- I know up until
a couple weeks ago,

1598
01:13:36,012 --> 01:13:38,546
you couldn't wait to take
the first train out of here.

1599
01:13:38,648 --> 01:13:41,282
- Let's not make a big deal
about this, OK?

1600
01:13:41,384 --> 01:13:42,717
I am still going home.

1601
01:13:42,819 --> 01:13:45,753
I'm just tired
and worried about my dad,

1602
01:13:45,855 --> 01:13:47,822
and I misspoke.

1603
01:13:47,924 --> 01:13:49,824
- Of course.

1604
01:13:51,394 --> 01:13:53,161
- Why do you keep making those?

1605
01:13:53,263 --> 01:13:55,163
Don't you have enough already?

1606
01:13:57,801 --> 01:13:59,333
- I like it.

1607
01:14:00,203 --> 01:14:02,069
It's what I do,

1608
01:14:02,172 --> 01:14:03,638
who I am.

1609
01:14:09,078 --> 01:14:10,945
Take this piece of wood.

1610
01:14:12,348 --> 01:14:16,083
Who would ever guess
that somewhere hidden in here

1611
01:14:16,186 --> 01:14:17,452
is the charming prince

1612
01:14:17,554 --> 01:14:20,721
who will save Clara
from the evil mouse king?

1613
01:14:22,058 --> 01:14:23,624
- Yeah, I know the story.

1614
01:14:23,726 --> 01:14:29,063
- And all you have to do
is find him and let him out.

1615
01:14:29,165 --> 01:14:31,032
- You make it sound so easy.

1616
01:14:31,134 --> 01:14:31,999
- It is.

1617
01:14:32,101 --> 01:14:34,268
Eh, see how rough it is?

1618
01:14:35,004 --> 01:14:39,173
Sand it down,
always going with the grain.

1619
01:14:39,275 --> 01:14:43,010
And once you've made it
completely smooth...

1620
01:14:44,447 --> 01:14:46,147
You decide on a face.

1621
01:14:46,249 --> 01:14:48,082
- How do you decide?

1622
01:14:48,952 --> 01:14:50,051
- You just know.

1623
01:14:50,153 --> 01:14:54,655
It's a face you wanna look at
for the rest of your life.

1624
01:14:56,259 --> 01:14:58,659
- That would be a nice face.

1625
01:14:59,562 --> 01:15:02,363
- A very nice face.

1626
01:15:12,075 --> 01:15:14,208
- Peter! Are you in there?!

1627
01:15:14,310 --> 01:15:15,910
Ah, there you are.

1628
01:15:16,012 --> 01:15:16,811
Hi, Holly.

1629
01:15:16,913 --> 01:15:17,979
Peter, I'm so sorry.

1630
01:15:18,081 --> 01:15:20,581
I just stepped out for a minute.
I didn't know.

1631
01:15:20,683 --> 01:15:22,517
- Know what? Wh-what's wrong?

1632
01:15:22,619 --> 01:15:24,185
- Well, there was
a customer in the bar,

1633
01:15:24,287 --> 01:15:26,087
and he just fell in love
with your nutcracker,

1634
01:15:26,189 --> 01:15:28,222
and he told Chuck
he totally had to have it,

1635
01:15:28,324 --> 01:15:31,692
so Chuck named a price that he thought
was gonna be way too crazy for anybody,

1636
01:15:31,794 --> 01:15:33,961
and the guy just bought it.

1637
01:15:35,798 --> 01:15:37,331
Sorry.

1638
01:15:37,433 --> 01:15:38,833
- For how much?

1639
01:15:49,779 --> 01:15:51,479
- $500?!

1640
01:15:51,581 --> 01:15:53,114
- Let me get this straight.

1641
01:15:53,216 --> 01:15:55,883
This guy actually paid
all that money

1642
01:15:55,985 --> 01:15:57,752
for one of these little toys?

1643
01:15:57,854 --> 01:15:59,120
- They're not toys, Earl.

1644
01:15:59,222 --> 01:16:02,290
They're handcrafted works of art
made by a master craftsman.

1645
01:16:02,392 --> 01:16:04,358
- We're still
talkin' about Peter, right?

1646
01:16:04,460 --> 01:16:05,326
No offense.

1647
01:16:05,428 --> 01:16:06,427
- None taken.

1648
01:16:06,529 --> 01:16:08,796
- It's his craftsmanship
that makes them unique.

1649
01:16:08,898 --> 01:16:10,097
Each one is different.

1650
01:16:10,199 --> 01:16:10,998
- $500 different.

1651
01:16:11,100 --> 01:16:13,200
- No, it's like snowflakes.

1652
01:16:13,303 --> 01:16:14,101
- Exactly.

1653
01:16:14,203 --> 01:16:15,102
We're selling snowflakes,

1654
01:16:15,204 --> 01:16:16,871
and people wanna buy
these snowflakes

1655
01:16:16,973 --> 01:16:19,240
so they can make
their own family tradition...

1656
01:16:19,342 --> 01:16:21,342
You know,
bring them out every year,

1657
01:16:21,444 --> 01:16:22,510
pass them on to their children.

1658
01:16:22,612 --> 01:16:23,778
- Yeah, but these
all belong to Peter,

1659
01:16:23,880 --> 01:16:25,479
and we can't ask him to do that.

1660
01:16:25,582 --> 01:16:27,248
- I wanna do it for you, Nick.

1661
01:16:27,350 --> 01:16:28,249
- Thank you, Peter.

1662
01:16:28,351 --> 01:16:30,151
But that makes Ginny in charge

1663
01:16:30,253 --> 01:16:32,987
of my mystery gift under
the tree Christmas morning.

1664
01:16:33,089 --> 01:16:34,989
- Uh, if you're a good boy.

1665
01:16:36,326 --> 01:16:37,959
- How many more
of those nutcrackers

1666
01:16:38,061 --> 01:16:39,727
do you have at the workshop?

1667
01:16:39,829 --> 01:16:41,796
- I don't know.
40. Maybe more.

1668
01:16:41,898 --> 01:16:44,732
- Well, I can set up
a booth where everybody can see.

1669
01:16:44,834 --> 01:16:46,334
- And I'm gonna sell 'em
on the website.

1670
01:16:46,436 --> 01:16:48,436
Dad's getting hundreds of hits
on his blog now.

1671
01:16:48,538 --> 01:16:49,704
- Yep.
- But we have to move fast,

1672
01:16:49,806 --> 01:16:51,205
so we can get these
to people for Christmas.

1673
01:16:51,307 --> 01:16:52,907
- So you really think
this is gonna work, honey?

1674
01:16:53,009 --> 01:16:53,841
- I really do, dad,

1675
01:16:53,943 --> 01:16:56,143
with a little bit
of Christmas magic.

1676
01:17:12,795 --> 01:17:14,395
- So how we doin'?

1677
01:17:14,497 --> 01:17:16,998
- I haven't finished
adding up all the sales.

1678
01:17:17,100 --> 01:17:19,400
- So we're still
not out of the woods.

1679
01:17:19,502 --> 01:17:20,635
- Not yet,

1680
01:17:20,737 --> 01:17:23,504
but we're close.

1681
01:17:28,878 --> 01:17:30,378
- You still have it.

1682
01:17:32,148 --> 01:17:34,048
- I looked for it last night.

1683
01:17:34,150 --> 01:17:37,051
I found it buried
in my old jewelry box.

1684
01:17:37,153 --> 01:17:39,687
I thought
it might bring us luck.

1685
01:17:43,159 --> 01:17:45,026
- Maybe a little
Christmas magic?

1686
01:17:48,531 --> 01:17:51,465
- I can't imagine my life
without Santaville.

1687
01:17:55,004 --> 01:17:56,437
Or you.

1688
01:17:59,175 --> 01:18:02,476
It's a face I could look at
for the rest of my life.

1689
01:18:13,189 --> 01:18:15,122
- What happens if we lose?

1690
01:18:18,995 --> 01:18:20,728
- Holly?
- I've been trying to reach you.

1691
01:18:20,830 --> 01:18:23,664
- I just got off the slopes.
- You have to hear this idea.

1692
01:18:23,766 --> 01:18:26,133
- I told you to take
some time off this Christmas.

1693
01:18:26,235 --> 01:18:28,636
- I know, Mr. Jennings,
but this is really important.

1694
01:18:28,738 --> 01:18:29,704
- OK. What's up?

1695
01:18:29,806 --> 01:18:31,605
- I found these
one-of-a-kind nutcrackers.

1696
01:18:31,708 --> 01:18:32,573
- Nutcrackers?

1697
01:18:32,675 --> 01:18:33,674
- Yeah. They're unique.

1698
01:18:33,776 --> 01:18:35,609
- Really?

1699
01:18:35,712 --> 01:18:38,112
- Come and get it!
It's one of a kind.

1700
01:18:38,214 --> 01:18:39,346
- Thank you.
- Oh, thank you.

1701
01:18:39,449 --> 01:18:40,848
Straight from Santa's workshop!

1702
01:18:40,950 --> 01:18:43,384
- Nutcrackers made
by one of Santa's elves.

1703
01:18:43,486 --> 01:18:45,920
- One of a kind!
- Signed at the bottom.

1704
01:18:46,022 --> 01:18:47,321
- Straight
from Santa's workshop!

1705
01:18:47,423 --> 01:18:48,489
- I cannot believe this, Ginny.
- What?

1706
01:18:48,591 --> 01:18:50,357
- Just in time,
we're gonna make it.

1707
01:18:50,460 --> 01:18:51,559
- Oh, honey.

1708
01:18:51,661 --> 01:18:54,061
- There are orders coming in
from all over the country,

1709
01:18:54,163 --> 01:18:55,196
even some from Europe.

1710
01:18:55,298 --> 01:18:58,666
- Everybody needs Santa,
no matter where they live.

1721
01:19:31,768 --> 01:19:33,701
- Merry Christmas!

1722
01:19:34,704 --> 01:19:35,569
- Well, everybody,

1723
01:19:35,671 --> 01:19:37,905
it's almost
midnight Christmas Eve,

1724
01:19:38,007 --> 01:19:39,740
so Santa can't talk long,

1725
01:19:39,842 --> 01:19:42,243
'cause I got
a previous engagement.

1726
01:19:42,345 --> 01:19:44,578
You know, you should
really be in bed, too.

1727
01:19:46,582 --> 01:19:48,816
- Uh, before Santa leaves,

1728
01:19:48,918 --> 01:19:51,719
there's something
I wanna say to you.

1729
01:19:51,821 --> 01:19:55,456
I grew up here,
and every memory I have

1730
01:19:55,558 --> 01:19:59,927
is connected to this place
and all of the people in it.

1731
01:20:00,696 --> 01:20:02,329
I went away for a while,

1732
01:20:02,431 --> 01:20:04,331
a long while,

1733
01:20:04,433 --> 01:20:07,168
because I was convinced
that all the love

1734
01:20:07,270 --> 01:20:10,371
and kindness and generosity that
I remembered from this place

1735
01:20:10,473 --> 01:20:13,274
was a thing of the past.

1736
01:20:13,376 --> 01:20:15,910
And I know now how wrong I was,

1737
01:20:16,012 --> 01:20:18,279
thanks to you...

1738
01:20:18,381 --> 01:20:19,880
And all of you.

1739
01:20:19,982 --> 01:20:23,517
There still is a place
where people care in this world,

1740
01:20:23,619 --> 01:20:25,553
where they wanna help.

1741
01:20:25,655 --> 01:20:28,622
And that's why you're all here,

1742
01:20:28,724 --> 01:20:31,258
because you remember, too,

1743
01:20:31,360 --> 01:20:35,029
and you wanted to keep
this one magical place

1744
01:20:35,131 --> 01:20:37,031
open for the next generation.

1745
01:20:37,133 --> 01:20:37,998
- Yeah.

1746
01:20:38,100 --> 01:20:38,999
- Right.

1747
01:20:39,101 --> 01:20:41,335
- But we didn't reach our goal,

1748
01:20:41,437 --> 01:20:44,138
so this'll be the last Christmas
for Santaville.

1749
01:20:48,411 --> 01:20:49,910
- It was going so well.

1750
01:20:50,012 --> 01:20:51,645
- Honey, it's OK. We tried.

1751
01:20:51,747 --> 01:20:55,182
We tried really hard,
but we came up a little short.

1752
01:20:55,284 --> 01:20:56,450
It's over now.

1753
01:20:56,552 --> 01:20:58,185
I love you.

1754
01:20:58,287 --> 01:21:01,689
- Holly! Holly, wait!

1755
01:21:03,659 --> 01:21:04,758
- Mr. Jennings?

1756
01:21:04,861 --> 01:21:06,861
- Brenda showed me
the Santaville website.

1757
01:21:06,963 --> 01:21:07,795
The woodcarvings are...

1758
01:21:07,897 --> 01:21:09,530
- We think
they're just wonderful.

1759
01:21:09,632 --> 01:21:11,432
- And so do our customers.

1760
01:21:11,534 --> 01:21:15,536
- I wanna make global handcrafts
the exclusive distributor, Holly.

1761
01:21:15,638 --> 01:21:17,771
With you running things up here,

1762
01:21:17,874 --> 01:21:20,241
we could sell 'em
all over the world.

1763
01:21:20,343 --> 01:21:21,642
- But they're... they're not mine.

1764
01:21:21,744 --> 01:21:23,344
Um, Mr. Jennings,
this is Peter Lowdell.

1765
01:21:23,446 --> 01:21:25,412
He's the artist.
He made all of these.

1766
01:21:25,514 --> 01:21:28,048
- Love your work, Peter.
What do you say? You interested?

1767
01:21:28,150 --> 01:21:30,451
- Well, you know
I carve these by hand.

1768
01:21:30,553 --> 01:21:32,219
They don't come from a factory.

1769
01:21:32,321 --> 01:21:34,221
- Wouldn't want it
any other way.

1770
01:21:34,323 --> 01:21:36,223
- And my shop
would have to stay here.

1771
01:21:36,325 --> 01:21:38,092
You could sell them online,

1772
01:21:38,194 --> 01:21:40,761
but I wanna make sure
everyone knows that Santaville

1773
01:21:40,863 --> 01:21:42,696
is the only place
you can buy them in person.

1774
01:21:42,798 --> 01:21:44,832
- Wouldn't have it
any other way.

1775
01:21:46,669 --> 01:21:48,269
- Peter, are you sure?

1776
01:21:51,307 --> 01:21:54,241
- I never would've made them
if it wasn't for this place.

1777
01:21:54,343 --> 01:21:57,411
If it's what you want,
it's what I want.

1778
01:21:59,415 --> 01:22:01,548
- Mr. Jennings,
you can tell our customers

1779
01:22:01,651 --> 01:22:04,285
that I'll be
looking after things up here

1780
01:22:04,387 --> 01:22:05,286
personally.

1781
01:22:05,388 --> 01:22:06,487
- Young man,

1782
01:22:06,589 --> 01:22:10,524
I think you're going to be
very busy for quite a while.

1783
01:22:10,626 --> 01:22:12,660
In the meantime,
how many do you have left?

1784
01:22:12,762 --> 01:22:15,729
- Um, none.
- We're... we sold out.

1785
01:22:15,831 --> 01:22:18,832
- Well, you could
commission one...

1786
01:22:18,935 --> 01:22:22,169
For say, $8,000.

1787
01:22:22,271 --> 01:22:23,570
- Yeah. Is that legal?

1788
01:22:23,673 --> 01:22:25,072
- You bet it is...

1789
01:22:25,174 --> 01:22:27,541
For another 4 minutes.

1790
01:22:27,643 --> 01:22:29,109
- Done.

1791
01:22:29,211 --> 01:22:30,311
- Yes!

1792
01:22:30,413 --> 01:22:31,512
- Right!

1793
01:22:37,520 --> 01:22:39,219
- Wait.

1794
01:22:39,322 --> 01:22:41,622
- Merry Christmas after all.

1795
01:22:41,724 --> 01:22:42,623
- Merry Christmas.

1796
01:22:42,725 --> 01:22:44,024
- OK.

1797
01:22:53,069 --> 01:22:55,970
- Christmas was
always different for me.

1798
01:22:56,072 --> 01:22:58,772
It was always better.
I just forgot that for a while.

1799
01:22:58,874 --> 01:23:01,175
Dad and Ginny run Santaville
together now.

1800
01:23:01,277 --> 01:23:02,943
Peter and I were married there,

1801
01:23:03,045 --> 01:23:05,546
complete with moonlight
and mistletoe.

1802
01:23:05,648 --> 01:23:07,481
And by the next Christmas,

1803
01:23:07,583 --> 01:23:10,317
Santa will have
a new little elf to train.

1804
01:23:10,419 --> 01:23:13,387
So don't forget to come and
visit all of us at Santaville,

1805
01:23:13,489 --> 01:23:15,923
where every day
truly is Christmas.

1806
01:23:16,025 --> 01:23:18,792
From Santa's
loving daughter, Holly.

1807
01:23:18,894 --> 01:23:22,997
