to the kids next door?

00:17:18,625 --> 00:17:19,750
Ooh!
346
00:17:19,833 --> 00:17:20,833
Uh... oh.
347
00:17:22,041 --> 00:17:23,166
Um...
348
00:17:23,250 --> 00:17:24,250
Hmm.
349
00:17:24,666 --> 00:17:27,583
We, um, move furniture all the time.
350
00:17:27,666 --> 00:17:29,000
[chuckling]
351
00:17:29,083 --> 00:17:31,833
We just do it quietly.
352
00:17:32,750 --> 00:17:35,500
But that doesn't mean
it's not getting moved
353
00:17:35,583 --> 00:17:38,833
and getting moved real well.
354
00:17:40,708 --> 00:17:42,666
The nucleus of an atom.
355
00:17:43,250 --> 00:17:46,583
For the girl who single-handedly
got me through Physics 101.
356
00:17:46,666 --> 00:17:50,541
[chuckles] Listen, your mother
was the most brilliant student in college.
357
00:17:50,625 --> 00:17:53,916
Without her as my tutor,
I never would have graduated.
358
00:17:55,250 --> 00:17:58,250
Oh, which reminds me,
Robbie, did you ask her yet?
359
00:17:59,625 --> 00:18:01,166
Ask me what?
360
00:18:01,250 --> 00:18:03,208
Oh, well, um...
361
00:18:04,291 --> 00:18:07,541
Jaqueline, uh, invited us
to stay for Christmas.
362
00:18:07,625 --> 00:18:10,083
Yes! It will be so great, Char.
363
00:18:10,166 --> 00:18:13,291
I mean, we can catch up
and have us some serious girl time.
364
00:18:13,375 --> 00:18:14,750
It's been way too long.
365
00:18:14,833 --> 00:18:17,541
That is incredibly generous,
but we could not possibly...
366
00:18:17,625 --> 00:18:21,458
Christmas with Jackie
is a life-altering experience.
367
00:18:21,541 --> 00:18:23,125
Please, Mom.
368
00:18:23,208 --> 00:18:26,208
Me and Bob wanna stay. Please?
369
00:18:26,291 --> 00:18:27,291
Oh, um...
370
00:18:27,375 --> 00:18:28,958
[laughs] I mean, um...
371
00:18:29,041 --> 00:18:31,083
It's up to your dad. Rob?
372
00:18:31,666 --> 00:18:32,958
[chuckles] Uh...
373
00:18:33,041 --> 00:18:35,791
Well, then it's settled.
'Cause Robbie already said yes.
374
00:18:36,500 --> 00:18:37,333
Hey.
375
00:18:37,416 --> 00:18:39,583
- [bell ringing]
- Do we all hear that?
376
00:18:39,666 --> 00:18:41,626
- Yeah! I heard it! It's...
- [Dora] I hear bells.
377
00:18:41,666 --> 00:18:43,583
- [Dora] Sleigh bells!
- I... I hear it.
378
00:18:43,666 --> 00:18:44,500
[Grant] Yeah.
379
00:18:44,583 --> 00:18:46,416
[imitating Bob] I heard it too.
I heard it.
380
00:18:48,250 --> 00:18:51,750
Are there letters in the stockings?
How do you like that?
381
00:18:51,833 --> 00:18:55,375
Ooh! This one
is addressed to Theodora Sanders.
382
00:18:55,875 --> 00:18:59,500
Is that what Dora is short for?
I thought it was "adorable."
383
00:19:01,875 --> 00:19:04,375
And, ooh, Grant!
384
00:19:04,458 --> 00:19:06,041
- Really?
- [Jackie] Mm-hmm.
385
00:19:07,750 --> 00:19:11,041
And there's another one to a Bob Sanders.
386
00:19:11,125 --> 00:19:12,958
Could that be Monkey Bob?
387
00:19:13,041 --> 00:19:15,458
[chuckling] I wonder who they're from?
388
00:19:17,916 --> 00:19:19,291
[Grant] It's from Santa!
389
00:19:19,375 --> 00:19:20,625
[Jackie gasps softly]
390
00:19:20,708 --> 00:19:23,416
It says, "Dear Honorable Ninja Grant."
391
00:19:24,041 --> 00:19:25,666
But the flue was closed.
392
00:19:25,750 --> 00:19:28,041
"I've been informed
you'll be staying with the super cool
393
00:19:28,125 --> 00:19:29,875
Jennings family this Christmas."
394
00:19:29,958 --> 00:19:32,666
"I will deliver your presents
to their home in Hadley Falls."
395
00:19:32,750 --> 00:19:35,083
"Merry Christmas. Santa Claus."
396
00:19:38,541 --> 00:19:40,500
Best Christmas ever.
397
00:19:46,750 --> 00:19:49,458
How could you say yes? Now we are trapped.
398
00:19:50,208 --> 00:19:53,500
This isn't the Donner Pass.
And I didn't say yes.
399
00:19:53,583 --> 00:19:55,625
I just said
I was fine with it if you were.
400
00:19:55,708 --> 00:19:57,458
We still have
three days till Christmas Eve.
401
00:19:57,541 --> 00:20:00,226
We leave as soon as the weather clears,
we can get home in time for...
402
00:20:00,250 --> 00:20:02,125
What? For what?
403
00:20:03,291 --> 00:20:05,666
- What is wrong with Christmas here?
- Ugh.
404
00:20:05,750 --> 00:20:09,250
Is the real reason
you don't wanna stay what I think it is?
405
00:20:09,333 --> 00:20:13,583
You mean about you and Jackie?
Pfft! Don't be ridiculous.
406
00:20:13,666 --> 00:20:14,541
Are you sure?
407
00:20:14,625 --> 00:20:17,666
'Cause, look,
I would totally understand if...
408
00:20:17,750 --> 00:20:20,833
I'm positive.
I mean, I'm not threatened by Jackie.
409
00:20:20,916 --> 00:20:24,916
Okay. All right. I was just
being sensitive to the situation.
410
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,666
- There's no need.
- [chuckles]
411
00:20:27,375 --> 00:20:28,375
[chuckles]
412
00:20:30,833 --> 00:20:34,500
So if it's not about that,
then what is it?
413
00:20:34,583 --> 00:20:36,125
Is this about the letter?
414
00:20:36,208 --> 00:20:38,250
- [Charlotte] Uh, what letter?
- Come on.
415
00:20:38,333 --> 00:20:40,791
You thought it was BS,
and now that we know it isn't...
416
00:20:40,875 --> 00:20:42,583
We do not know that it isn't BS.
417
00:20:42,666 --> 00:20:46,750
Babe, have you had a look around?
I mean... besides ogling Valentino.
418
00:20:46,833 --> 00:20:49,666
- [laughs] I was not ogling!
- Okay. Sure.
419
00:20:49,750 --> 00:20:51,333
"Chest I ever had"? [chuckles]
420
00:20:51,416 --> 00:20:53,208
- Real smooth, Charlotte.
- [groans]
421
00:20:53,291 --> 00:20:54,875
I was flustered. Like...
422
00:20:54,958 --> 00:20:57,416
- But you are way hotter than him.
- Mmm.
423
00:20:58,416 --> 00:21:00,708
- Mm-hmm.
- Ugh. I had taken a look around.
424
00:21:00,791 --> 00:21:03,500
And something is off here.
I can't put my finger on it.
425
00:21:03,583 --> 00:21:06,375
But did you see how fast
she came up with those Santa letters?
426
00:21:06,458 --> 00:21:09,291
And what about, like,
her other kid who's not here, Daniel?
427
00:21:09,375 --> 00:21:10,583
You read the newsletter.
428
00:21:10,666 --> 00:21:13,333
- He's in, uh, Kosovo or somewhere.
- Uh-huh.
429
00:21:14,750 --> 00:21:15,833
Well...
430
00:21:26,458 --> 00:21:29,833
You know, look,
I know it's kind of spontaneous and crazy,
431
00:21:29,916 --> 00:21:32,125
but they're really nice people.
432
00:21:33,833 --> 00:21:36,208
Maybe you can just
fake having a good time.
433
00:21:36,291 --> 00:21:39,541
- Pretend we're visiting my mother.
- What did you just say?
434
00:21:41,250 --> 00:21:43,916
Uh, maybe you can just
fake having a good time.
435
00:21:44,750 --> 00:21:46,708
- You're right.
- I am?
436
00:21:46,791 --> 00:21:48,083
Let's be spontaneous.
437
00:21:49,291 --> 00:21:51,291
[mischievous music playing]
438
00:21:59,083 --> 00:22:03,291
Okay, so maybe that's true.
Doesn't mean everything else is.
439
00:22:08,291 --> 00:22:10,250
So, you're the Harvard girl.
440
00:22:10,333 --> 00:22:11,333
I am.
441
00:22:15,791 --> 00:22:16,791
Check.
442
00:22:19,958 --> 00:22:22,166
- [dramatic note plays]
- Checkmate!
443
00:22:22,958 --> 00:22:24,708
[Charlotte] I can admit the kid's good.
444
00:22:24,791 --> 00:22:26,791
[mischievous music continues]
445
00:22:40,625 --> 00:22:42,125
Fine. Whatever.
446
00:22:47,625 --> 00:22:48,666
Mariah Carey?
447
00:22:54,916 --> 00:22:55,916
Mmm.
448
00:22:57,416 --> 00:22:58,416
Stamps.
449
00:23:00,500 --> 00:23:02,541
Good for them.
450
00:23:07,833 --> 00:23:09,291
- Ms. Sanders?
- Huh?
451
00:23:09,375 --> 00:23:13,083
- Grant mentioned you work for StarTech.
- Oh! Yeah, I do.
452
00:23:13,166 --> 00:23:16,666
I dunno if you have any company shares,
but hedge fund superstar Ken Griffin
453
00:23:16,750 --> 00:23:19,416
over at Citadel is shorting the stock.
454
00:23:19,500 --> 00:23:21,791
You might wanna get out while you can.
455
00:23:21,875 --> 00:23:23,666
You're so cute!
456
00:23:25,166 --> 00:23:26,541
Are you patronizing me?
457
00:23:26,625 --> 00:23:27,708
Me? No.
458
00:23:28,208 --> 00:23:33,750
Point is, I may be small in stature,
Ms. Sanders, but I am tall in intellect.
459
00:23:33,833 --> 00:23:37,833
- Beatrix, don't intimidate the guests!
- She wasn't intimidating me.
460
00:23:37,916 --> 00:23:41,916
- Mind if we take your car?
- Our car? But we're snowbound.
461
00:23:42,666 --> 00:23:45,791
See? Were snowbound.
462
00:23:45,875 --> 00:23:48,500
Driveway is heated, melts in hours.
463
00:23:48,583 --> 00:23:51,833
And they are rock stars
at plowing the roads around here.
464
00:23:51,916 --> 00:23:54,625
Come on. Let's get us a tree. [exclaims]
465
00:23:54,708 --> 00:23:58,333
- ["O Christmas Tree" jazz version playing]
- ♪ O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree ♪
466
00:23:58,416 --> 00:24:01,458
♪ How lovely are your branches? ♪
467
00:24:01,541 --> 00:24:03,000
♪ O Christmas tree... ♪
468
00:24:03,083 --> 00:24:05,208
Ooh! Nice, firm needles.
469
00:24:05,291 --> 00:24:08,041
- [Val] Oh yeah. That's a nice one, baby.
- [Jackie] Mm-hmm!
470
00:24:09,625 --> 00:24:11,625
Sturdy trunk.
471
00:24:11,708 --> 00:24:12,916
It's okay.
472
00:24:13,500 --> 00:24:16,333
- Oh. Sticky.
- [Rob] Yeah, love it. Sturdy. Firm.
473
00:24:16,416 --> 00:24:19,416
Isn't this one, I don't know,
kind of ginormous?
474
00:24:19,500 --> 00:24:22,291
- Well, Val is hugely festive.
- Oof!
475
00:24:22,375 --> 00:24:25,208
- [Jackie chuckling]
- You inspire me, mi amor.

[Jackie] Ooh!

- Okay, okay, okay!
- [both chuckling]

- Baby, not at the tree lot.
- Well...

- Inspiration? Inspiration?
- [Rob] Charlotte!
481
00:24:41,958 --> 00:24:43,416
Okay. Okay.

00:24:43,500 --> 00:24:44,500
[Rob] Mmm!

- Ow! Ow, ow, ow! Ow, ow, ow!
- [both] Ow!

Can you just... Wait.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.

- [both exclaim]
486
00:24:53,916 --> 00:24:55,291
It's a little sap.
487
00:24:56,125 --> 00:24:57,166
From the tree.
488
00:24:57,250 --> 00:24:58,583
[all laughing]
489
00:24:58,666 --> 00:24:59,666
Sí.

- [Charlotte] Are you okay?
- [man laughs] Ho-ho-ho!
491
00:25:04,958 --> 00:25:08,375
- [Grant] Santa!
- Well, hello there, children.
492
00:25:08,458 --> 00:25:09,791
Merry Christmas.
493
00:25:09,875 --> 00:25:11,250
Merry Christmas.
494
00:25:12,083 --> 00:25:13,916
Thanks for sending the letters.
495
00:25:14,583 --> 00:25:16,666
Letters. Letters, uh...
496
00:25:17,333 --> 00:25:22,000
Mmm. Oh, yes, of course! Right.
The letters. You're very welcome.
497
00:25:22,083 --> 00:25:26,166
We were pleasantly surprised to
find them under our pillows this morning.
498
00:25:26,250 --> 00:25:27,333
Splendid!
499
00:25:27,416 --> 00:25:31,166
I'm glad they arrived safe and sound.
Merry Christmas.
500
00:25:32,125 --> 00:25:34,416
The letter wasn't under my pillow.
501
00:25:34,500 --> 00:25:35,750
Exactly.
502
00:25:38,458 --> 00:25:40,750
Ooh! What's this?
503
00:25:42,666 --> 00:25:44,416
Oh, it's nothing.
504
00:25:44,500 --> 00:25:48,333
That's a Chip Mitt. It's one of
Charlotte's brilliant inventions.
505
00:25:48,416 --> 00:25:52,625
Oh, right! Back in college, you used to
come up with all the cool gadgets.
506
00:25:52,708 --> 00:25:53,833
What does this one do?
507
00:25:53,916 --> 00:25:57,833
It's, um... It's a glove that uses
a reverse static charge to repel crumbs.
508
00:25:58,541 --> 00:26:00,583
Why would you need
a glove to repel crumbs?
509
00:26:00,666 --> 00:26:04,208
Well, it's for when you're eating snacks...
Well, never mind. [laughs]
510
00:26:04,791 --> 00:26:06,291
I mean, it's, um...
511
00:26:06,375 --> 00:26:07,375
Never mind.
512
00:26:08,125 --> 00:26:11,000
Well, you know,
Daniel always wanted to be an inventor.
513
00:26:11,750 --> 00:26:13,708
Always hoping to change the world.
514
00:26:13,791 --> 00:26:17,166
[Charlotte laughs] Well, it's a Chip Mitt.

the financial health of the parents.

That's it. No more money.
And now I'm losing my job for sure.

- It's impeccable timing.
- Oh my God, Charlotte. I am so sorry.

It always does.

So the real estate office
in Salt Lake is open till five.
1035

They need an original signature
to revoke the deal.

- And if I leave now, I can just make it.
- But you can't leave.

It's Christmas Eve,
and you'll miss the pageant.

Congratulations?
1060
00:56:36,541 --> 00:56:40,125
StarTech was always a placeholder.
Remember? You always promised yourself...
1061
00:56:40,208 --> 00:56:42,875
It was a placeholder
that helped pay for the food and the rent.

01:15:25,083 --> 01:15:29,250
Season's greetings from the Sanders family
with the Jennings family as well.
1369
01:15:29,333 --> 01:15:31,500
It's sort of become our new tradition.
1370
01:15:31,583 --> 01:15:36,000
We finally made it to my sister's house
just in time for New Year's Eve.
1371
01:15:36,083 --> 01:15:39,208
Jackie and I started
our own Chip Mitt business.
1372
01:15:39,291 --> 01:15:41,750
And our first client was Mariah Carey.
1373

"No more cookie crumbs."
1374
01:15:45,541 --> 01:15:47,875
In their quest to become superheroes,
1375
01:15:47,958 --> 01:15:51,083
all our kids are taking
karate lessons from Valentino.
1376
01:15:52,250 --> 01:15:54,666
The Jennings family dream
finally came true
1377
01:15:54,750 --> 01:15:58,250
when they floated around the world
raising money for Daniel's charity.
1378
01:15:58,333 --> 01:16:01,666
And our dream also came true.
We got the house!
1379
01:16:01,750 --> 01:16:05,500
But guess what? We're keeping it
for our splendiferous family.
1380
01:16:05,583 --> 01:16:07,000
What can I say?
1381
01:16:07,083 --> 01:16:10,708
Christmas with Jackie
is a life-altering experience.
