Conrad, I'm disappointed too.

But they're saying the storm
is just going to get worse.

No. It's best if you and
Winnie stay in Seattle.

17

we'll have Christmas dinner.

and I say so card very often,

come in.

00:01:10,361 --> 00:01:12,739
Wha... What are you guys doing?

26
00:01:12,739 --> 00:01:14,991
Well, well, we're on
the way to the airport.

27
00:01:14,991 --> 00:01:16,242
We almost certainly
find out

28
00:01:16,242 --> 00:01:17,786
that our flight
has been cancelled.

29
00:01:17,786 --> 00:01:19,829
Hector, it hasn't been
canceled yet. Okay?

30
00:01:19,829 --> 00:01:22,123
Anyways, we just figured
that since it was on the way,

31
00:01:22,123 --> 00:01:23,583
we'd drop off
Christmas presents

32
00:01:23,583 --> 00:01:25,585
for you and
Conrad and Winnie and...

33
00:01:25,585 --> 00:01:27,921
And then maybe we could
take the gifts you wanted us

34
00:01:27,921 --> 00:01:29,506
to pick up for Mom and Dad.

35
00:01:29,506 --> 00:01:30,840
That's very sweet.

36
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,802
It's also a little crazy,
considering this storm.

37
00:01:33,802 --> 00:01:36,846
You know, I actually
told Winnie and Conrad

38
00:01:36,846 --> 00:01:39,015
not to risk driving in this.

39
00:01:39,015 --> 00:01:40,141
Where are they?

40
00:01:40,141 --> 00:01:42,519
Well, Winnie had a showcase
in Seattle

41
00:01:42,519 --> 00:01:43,812
singing Christmas songs,

42
00:01:43,812 --> 00:01:46,439
and I really wanted
to be there.

43
00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:49,692
But unlike my kids,
I read the forecast,

44
00:01:49,692 --> 00:01:52,111
and I didn't want to get stuck
on Christmas Eve.

45
00:01:52,111 --> 00:01:53,404
Yeah.

46
00:01:53,404 --> 00:01:55,406
Oh my gosh.
I almost forgot.

47
00:01:55,406 --> 00:01:57,659
- Happy birthday.
- Thank you.

48
00:01:57,659 --> 00:01:59,244
Thank you.

Wow. Twenty-five years ago.
Right here in this living room.

00:02:03,873 --> 00:02:04,833
Right there.

51
00:02:04,833 --> 00:02:06,000
All because of Uncle Greg?

52
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,126
Yeah.

00:02:12,006 --> 00:02:14,217
I forgot about that clock.

I can't believe you
still have that.

56
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,846
And I really can't believe
you put it out in public.

57
00:02:17,846 --> 00:02:19,764
Hey, your parents
gave us that.

58
00:02:19,764 --> 00:02:21,850
And Greg really loved it.

59
00:02:24,561 --> 00:02:26,855
You guys have time for coffee?

60
00:02:26,855 --> 00:02:28,773
Oh. How are your folks?

61
00:02:28,773 --> 00:02:30,358
I haven't talked to them
in a few weeks.

62
00:02:30,358 --> 00:02:31,568
Oh. They're good.

63
00:02:31,568 --> 00:02:33,069
You know, dad's working
too much, as per usual.

64
00:02:33,069 --> 00:02:34,612
And he's tired all the time.

65
00:02:34,612 --> 00:02:37,407
Mom won't stop asking us when
we're giving them grandkids.

66
00:02:37,407 --> 00:02:40,034
It's going to happen.
Be patient.

67
00:02:40,034 --> 00:02:41,786
Remind me to tell
my mother that.

68
00:02:43,163 --> 00:02:45,498
Well, I should put some
of this stuff away.

69
00:02:45,498 --> 00:02:47,542
I'm really glad I didn't
put the turkey in the oven.

70
00:02:47,542 --> 00:02:49,711
You know, I really don't like
that you're going to be here

71
00:02:49,711 --> 00:02:51,337
all by yourself
on Christmas Eve.

72
00:02:51,337 --> 00:02:52,380
No. I'm fine.

73
00:02:52,380 --> 00:02:53,715
I'm gonna snuggle up
on the couch

74
00:02:53,715 --> 00:02:54,883
and watch
a Christmas movie.

75
00:02:54,883 --> 00:02:57,510
It could be nice to do
that with someone else.

76
00:02:57,510 --> 00:03:01,931
I'm perfectly content to watch
Christmas movies by myself.

77
00:03:01,931 --> 00:03:03,016
Regina...

78
00:03:04,350 --> 00:03:05,852
it's been almost 10 years
since Uncle Greg passed.

79
00:03:07,228 --> 00:03:11,065
I found that time doesn't work
the same with things like that.

80
00:03:11,065 --> 00:03:12,150
Right.

81
00:03:12,150 --> 00:03:14,193
Now, who wants a coffee?

82
00:03:14,736 --> 00:03:15,945
Okay.

83
00:03:19,949 --> 00:03:21,242
Oh my gosh.

84
00:03:21,242 --> 00:03:22,160

00:03:24,829 --> 00:03:25,663
Ahhhh!!!!

88
00:03:34,297 --> 00:03:36,966
In all of time since man
first recorded

89
00:03:36,966 --> 00:03:39,719
the history of humankind
using primitive drawings

90
00:03:39,719 --> 00:03:41,346
on the walls of caves,

91
00:03:41,346 --> 00:03:44,307
there has never been mentioned
of a man as maddening

92
00:03:44,307 --> 00:03:47,477
as the one sitting
in our living room.

93
00:03:47,477 --> 00:03:49,187
What did he do now?

94
00:03:49,187 --> 00:03:50,730
It's not what he does,
Penny.

95
00:03:50,730 --> 00:03:52,482
It's who he is.

96
00:03:52,482 --> 00:03:54,692
Nothing is ever good enough.

97
00:03:55,276 --> 00:03:57,987
Not this house or my career.

98
00:03:57,987 --> 00:03:59,656
Or the Christmas tree
or the lights.

99
00:03:59,656 --> 00:04:02,200
Or the way I wrapped
the presents.

100
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:03,868
I wrapped the presents.

101
00:04:03,868 --> 00:04:05,536
What difference does it make?

102
00:04:06,329 --> 00:04:07,622
He gets along with me.

103
00:04:07,622 --> 00:04:09,874
This has been the longest month
of my life.

104
00:04:10,750 --> 00:04:14,754
Eli, your father does not
like to depend on people.

105
00:04:14,754 --> 00:04:17,340
Breaking his hip and having
to recover here

106
00:04:17,340 --> 00:04:19,717
has been a humbling experience
for him.

107
00:04:19,717 --> 00:04:20,718
Humble?

108
00:04:20,718 --> 00:04:23,429
Penny, words are
my stock in trade.

109
00:04:23,429 --> 00:04:26,307
Of all the ones I would
use to describe my father...

110
00:04:26,891 --> 00:04:29,018
humble is not one of them.

111
00:04:29,018 --> 00:04:31,062
Sweetheart, I love you.

112
00:04:31,688 --> 00:04:33,314
I know this has been hard,

113
00:04:33,314 --> 00:04:35,400
and any other day
I'd let you use

114
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,027
as many colorful words
as you'd like.

115
00:04:38,027 --> 00:04:39,821
But it's Christmas Eve,

116
00:04:39,821 --> 00:04:43,366
and today you're gonna
smile and be merry.

117
00:04:43,366 --> 00:04:45,201
And we are all going
to share

118
00:04:45,201 --> 00:04:47,370
a wonderful holiday
meal as a family.

119
00:04:47,370 --> 00:04:50,498
And the only words
you're allowed to say are:

Fa la la la la. Okay?

121
00:04:53,167 --> 00:04:54,919
- Okay.
- Mm.

122
00:04:55,503 --> 00:04:57,422
Thank you for putting up
with me.

123
00:04:57,422 --> 00:04:58,881

I'm fine.

00:05:07,515 --> 00:05:10,393
I just can't navigate around
all this clutter in here.

129
00:05:10,393 --> 00:05:12,145
Dad, it's not clutter.

130
00:05:12,145 --> 00:05:14,439
Penny needs all this
to do ladies' hair.

131
00:05:15,064 --> 00:05:16,691
You do need all of it,
don't you?

132
00:05:16,691 --> 00:05:19,485
Yes. Barbara Fleming is
coming over in a little while.

133
00:05:19,485 --> 00:05:20,486
Mmhmm.

134
00:05:20,486 --> 00:05:21,654
It's a lot of stuff
for a hobby.

135
00:05:21,654 --> 00:05:23,573
We wouldn't be able
to afford this house

136
00:05:23,573 --> 00:05:25,158
if it weren't for
Penny's salon.

137

Saint Barber has been cutting
my hair for the last 40 years,

138

Yeah. Shirley only takes
30 seconds to do...

a little more work, Walter.

have to work

of a bestselling book.

and milk for Santa tonight.

00:06:59,794 --> 00:07:02,255
No, no. Beth, don't
start with the what-ifs.

182
00:07:02,255 --> 00:07:04,715
It'll start with what if they
don't plow the road

183
00:07:04,715 --> 00:07:06,384
and nobody can get
to the wedding?

184
00:07:06,384 --> 00:07:08,010
And before you know it,
it'll be:

185
00:07:08,010 --> 00:07:11,222
What if the Abominable Snowman
abducts the maid of honor?

186
00:07:11,806 --> 00:07:13,516
You're just mad because
I didn't ask you

187
00:07:13,516 --> 00:07:15,059
to be the maid of honor.

188
00:07:15,059 --> 00:07:17,562
Oh, no, no, no, I am perfectly
content being a bridesmaid.

189
00:07:17,562 --> 00:07:20,439
I just get to stand there
for a bit, have some cake,

190
00:07:20,439 --> 00:07:22,692
maybe dance a little
and then come home.

191
00:07:22,692 --> 00:07:24,026
But you're my older sister.

192
00:07:24,026 --> 00:07:26,112
Why do you always have
to throw in the older part?

193
00:07:26,112 --> 00:07:27,447
Because I know you hate it.

194
00:07:27,447 --> 00:07:28,823
[laughs]

195
00:07:28,823 --> 00:07:31,242
Beth, you've been dreaming
of a Christmas Eve wedding

196
00:07:31,242 --> 00:07:32,618
since we were kids.

197
00:07:32,618 --> 00:07:35,288
You used to put a veil
on your stuffed reindeer

198
00:07:35,288 --> 00:07:37,206
and have her marry Frosty
the Snowman.

199
00:07:37,206 --> 00:07:40,418
And somehow, despite
all odds,

200
00:07:40,418 --> 00:07:44,505
you found a guy who loves
the holidays as much as you do.

201
00:07:44,505 --> 00:07:46,757
Now that's what I call
a Christmas miracle.

202
00:07:47,300 --> 00:07:49,010
It was meant to be.

203
00:07:49,010 --> 00:07:51,095
And the wedding
will be amazing.

204
00:07:51,095 --> 00:07:52,430
[exhales]

205
00:07:52,430 --> 00:07:53,723
Thank you.

206
00:07:53,723 --> 00:07:54,640
Of course.

207
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,309
[phone rings]

208
00:07:56,309 --> 00:07:57,894
Oh. It's Max.

209
00:07:58,561 --> 00:08:00,021
Hi, honey.
I'm here with Jessie.

210
00:08:00,021 --> 00:08:00,938
Are you at the venue?

211
00:08:00,938 --> 00:08:02,356
Yes, but it's closed.

212
00:08:02,356 --> 00:08:03,608
They said it open at 8:00.

213
00:08:03,608 --> 00:08:06,611
No, Beth closed as
in out of business.

214
00:08:06,611 --> 00:08:08,070
What?

215
00:08:08,070 --> 00:08:09,864
Yeah. I went next door to
the little bistro Julian's.

216
00:08:09,864 --> 00:08:12,074
They said the IRS showed up
late last night

217
00:08:12,074 --> 00:08:13,284
and shut them down.

218
00:08:13,284 --> 00:08:15,578
Something about unpaid
taxes or something.

219
00:08:15,578 --> 00:08:17,413
We had everything
delivered yesterday.

220
00:08:17,413 --> 00:08:22,084
The cake, the decorations,
the tuxes, my wedding dress.

221
00:08:22,084 --> 00:08:24,378
I know. I'm sorry, Beth.

222
00:08:25,296 --> 00:08:26,672
I'll see you soon.

223
00:08:31,511 --> 00:08:32,970
[exhales]

224
00:08:37,266 --> 00:08:40,311
Jessie...
What are we going to do?

225
00:08:41,312 --> 00:08:43,147
I... I don't know
what you can do.

226
00:08:43,147 --> 00:08:44,524
Even if you get
all your stuff,

227
00:08:44,524 --> 00:08:46,234
you don't have any place
to put it.

228
00:08:47,068 --> 00:08:49,612
It's not like you can get
married in my backyard.

229
00:08:51,155 --> 00:08:52,615
Beth. No.

230
00:08:52,615 --> 00:08:53,824
We only have 30 guests.

231
00:08:53,824 --> 00:08:55,409
We could easily fit
everybody back there.

232
00:08:55,409 --> 00:08:57,036
No, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no.

233
00:08:57,036 --> 00:09:00,206
We have no flowers,
no cake, no nothing.

234
00:09:00,206 --> 00:09:04,293
We can't put together an
entire wedding in my backyard

235
00:09:04,293 --> 00:09:06,712
in 12 hours on Christmas Eve.

236
00:09:06,712 --> 00:09:07,964
Jessie, please!

237
00:09:07,964 --> 00:09:09,924
You know how important
this is to me.

238
00:09:09,924 --> 00:09:11,175
To us.

239
00:09:11,175 --> 00:09:13,135
Max and I met on Christmas Eve.

240
00:09:13,135 --> 00:09:15,638
He proposed the following
Christmas Eve.

241
00:09:15,638 --> 00:09:16,806
You said it yourself

242
00:09:16,806 --> 00:09:18,641
meeting Max was a
Christmas miracle.

243
00:09:18,641 --> 00:09:21,310
Well, we could use another
one right about now.

244
00:09:22,270 --> 00:09:23,354
[sighs]

245
00:09:23,980 --> 00:09:26,190
One Christmas miracle
coming up.

246
00:09:26,190 --> 00:09:27,358
[squeals]

247
00:09:29,026 --> 00:09:30,194
Oh.

248
00:09:33,322 --> 00:09:35,491
If you get this message,
please call me back.

249
00:09:35,491 --> 00:09:36,701
Thank you.

250
00:09:38,119 --> 00:09:39,954
What's happening with
all the faucets now? Any luck?

251
00:09:39,954 --> 00:09:41,539
I've called every plumber
in the book

252
00:09:41,539 --> 00:09:42,915
and they are either
too busy

253
00:09:42,915 --> 00:09:44,208
or not working
on Christmas Eve,

254
00:09:44,208 --> 00:09:46,085
or not willing to come out
in the snow,

255
00:09:46,085 --> 00:09:47,920
or they're just not picking up
their phones.

256
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,088
Right.

257
00:09:49,088 --> 00:09:50,423
I finally found the main water
shut off.

258
00:09:50,423 --> 00:09:51,632
Oh.

259
00:09:51,632 --> 00:09:53,467
Yeah. Pipes in the basement.
Totally fine.

260
00:09:53,467 --> 00:09:57,346
It is either something in the
walls or something outside.

261
00:09:57,346 --> 00:09:58,389
Thank you, Hector.

262
00:09:58,389 --> 00:09:59,557
Yeah.

263
00:09:59,557 --> 00:10:00,850
You two should really
go to the airport.

264
00:10:00,850 --> 00:10:01,976
I can handle this on my own.

265
00:10:01,976 --> 00:10:03,602
No. Our flight
is going to get canceled.

266
00:10:03,602 --> 00:10:05,646
It hasn't been canceled yet.
Okay.

267
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,025
What a Christmas, this
is turning out to be. Huh?

268
00:10:09,025 --> 00:10:10,443
[doorbell]

269
00:10:10,443 --> 00:10:12,486
Well, we'll deal with this, okay?

270
00:10:12,486 --> 00:10:13,487
- Okay.
- Here you go.

271
00:10:13,487 --> 00:10:14,405
All right.

272
00:10:14,405 --> 00:10:15,406
If you get over there.

273
00:10:16,824 --> 00:10:17,742
Oh.

274
00:10:17,742 --> 00:10:19,660
Oh ho ho ho!
Merry Christmas.

275
00:10:19,660 --> 00:10:21,912
Uh, Santa told me you were
looking for a plumber.

276
00:10:21,912 --> 00:10:24,498
Oh, my gosh.
Come on in, yes.

277
00:10:26,542 --> 00:10:28,836
The reindeer better be wearing
their snowshoes tonight.

278
00:10:29,795 --> 00:10:30,963
Hey, I'm Nelson King.

279
00:10:30,963 --> 00:10:32,131
Regina Johnston.

280
00:10:32,131 --> 00:10:33,299
Nice to meet you.

281
00:10:33,299 --> 00:10:34,967
A plumber buddy of mine
got your message.

282
00:10:34,967 --> 00:10:37,053
And he knew I was on a site
a couple blocks over,

283
00:10:37,053 --> 00:10:39,055
so I figured I'd stop by
and see what I could do.

284
00:10:39,055 --> 00:10:40,639
Oh, wait, you're not
a plumber.

285
00:10:40,639 --> 00:10:43,309
A contractor,
but I know what I'm doing well.

286
00:10:43,309 --> 00:10:45,227
Well, the problem I'm having
is with my plumbing.

287
00:10:45,227 --> 00:10:47,521
So I really feel like
I need a plumber.

288
00:10:47,521 --> 00:10:49,482
Regina-- can I call
you Regina?

289
00:10:49,482 --> 00:10:50,858
Regina, you need a plumber.

290
00:10:50,858 --> 00:10:52,234
But all things considered,

291
00:10:52,234 --> 00:10:54,862
I would say that foggy
Christmas Eve rules apply.

292
00:10:54,862 --> 00:10:56,655
Foggy Christmas Eve rules?

293
00:10:56,655 --> 00:10:58,240
From Rudolph.

294
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,868
The other reindeer wouldn't let
him play their reindeer games

295
00:11:00,868 --> 00:11:02,745
until it got foggy
on Christmas Eve,

296
00:11:02,745 --> 00:11:04,747
and Santa needed him
to guide his sleigh.

297
00:11:05,164 --> 00:11:06,415
In this metaphor,
I'm Rudolph.

298
00:11:06,415 --> 00:11:07,541
Yeah, I got that.

299
00:11:07,541 --> 00:11:08,459
Okay.

300
00:11:09,418 --> 00:11:10,544
And I'm here to
guide your sleigh.

301
00:11:11,003 --> 00:11:12,296
Kitchen's this way.

302
00:11:18,010 --> 00:11:19,512
[radio] Tune in tonight

303
00:11:19,512 --> 00:11:21,764
for the Tommy Saunders Variety
Hour Christmas Eve special.

304
00:11:21,764 --> 00:11:24,767
Coming to you live from
a living room near you.

305
00:11:24,767 --> 00:11:26,602
[theme music]

306
00:11:26,602 --> 00:11:27,853
[doorbell]

307
00:11:31,941 --> 00:11:33,484
Barbara. Come in.

308
00:11:33,484 --> 00:11:35,319
- Hello.
- Hello.

309
00:11:35,319 --> 00:11:38,280
Oh, it is so lovely
to see you.

310
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,408
Penny, thank you so much
for saving me.

311
00:11:40,408 --> 00:11:42,118
My hair is a mess.

312
00:11:42,118 --> 00:11:44,328
Oh, Barbara, stop.
It is my pleasure.

313
00:11:44,328 --> 00:11:45,746
We won't get you
all fixed up

314
00:11:45,746 --> 00:11:47,248
for your Christmas Eve
party tonight.

315
00:11:47,248 --> 00:11:50,126
Are you sure you can't come?
We have eggnog.

316
00:11:50,126 --> 00:11:52,169
No, it's a family night.

317
00:11:52,169 --> 00:11:54,422
You remember my father in law.

318
00:11:54,422 --> 00:11:57,466
Walter, this is Barbara
from down the block.

319
00:11:57,466 --> 00:12:00,094
Hi, Walter.
It's nice to see you again.

320
00:12:02,638 --> 00:12:04,724
Well, let's get you
all gussied up.

321
00:12:05,391 --> 00:12:06,350
Okay.

322
00:12:07,476 --> 00:12:09,979
How is that handsome
husband of yours?

323
00:12:09,979 --> 00:12:11,814
Busier than ever.

324
00:12:11,814 --> 00:12:14,108
I'm grateful the store
is finally doing well,

325
00:12:14,108 --> 00:12:15,526
but I never see him.

326
00:12:15,526 --> 00:12:18,154
And when he does come home
from work, he's so tired.

327
00:12:18,154 --> 00:12:20,156
He's just ready for sleep
right after dinner.

328
00:12:20,156 --> 00:12:21,657
Sometimes during it.

329
00:12:21,657 --> 00:12:23,033
Oh, dear.

330
00:12:23,033 --> 00:12:24,827
Eli is like that whenever
he's writing a new book,

331
00:12:24,827 --> 00:12:26,745
it's like there's nothing else
in the world.

332
00:12:26,745 --> 00:12:28,539
Well, how do
you get his attention?

333
00:12:30,541 --> 00:12:32,543
I tell him something's on fire.

334
00:12:33,085 --> 00:12:35,045
Falls for it every time.

335
00:12:35,045 --> 00:12:36,338
[laughs]

336
00:12:37,089 --> 00:12:38,549
Maybe it's me.

337
00:12:39,216 --> 00:12:41,969
It's so easy to fall
into a routine.

338
00:12:41,969 --> 00:12:45,806
Roasted chicken every Monday.
Meatloaf on Wednesdays.

339
00:12:45,806 --> 00:12:49,310
We listen to Elvis' Christmas
album every Christmas Eve.

340
00:12:49,310 --> 00:12:52,188
Don't get me wrong,
we have a great life.

341
00:12:52,188 --> 00:12:54,565
But sometimes it feels,

342
00:12:55,733 --> 00:12:58,569
I don't know... boring.

343
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:00,821
Do you ever feel that way?

344
00:13:03,073 --> 00:13:08,287
Well, not at the moment, no,
but I do know what you mean.

345
00:13:08,287 --> 00:13:09,955
There is nothing better

346
00:13:09,955 --> 00:13:12,291
than settling into
a comfortable life.

347
00:13:12,666 --> 00:13:14,543
But when it becomes
a little too settled

348
00:13:14,543 --> 00:13:15,920
or a little too comfortable,

349
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,547
maybe it's time to try
something new.

350
00:13:18,547 --> 00:13:20,799
Well, maybe it couldn't
hurt to mix it up a little.

351
00:13:20,799 --> 00:13:22,343
What are you thinking?

352
00:13:23,928 --> 00:13:27,389
Something stylish
like Jackie Kennedy.

353
00:13:27,389 --> 00:13:30,935
Or maybe something
that makes me feel,

354
00:13:32,269 --> 00:13:33,479
I don't know.

355
00:13:34,396 --> 00:13:35,940
He won't know what hit him.

356
00:13:36,816 --> 00:13:38,275
[both chuckles]

357
00:13:38,275 --> 00:13:40,236
[Beth] We had roses
covering the altar.

358
00:13:40,236 --> 00:13:42,905
And then we had white lights,
white tulle, Christmas angels,

359
00:13:42,905 --> 00:13:45,324
Holly, poinsettias,
Christmas trees.

360
00:13:45,324 --> 00:13:47,326
Trees? Plural.

361
00:13:48,452 --> 00:13:49,870
What do you think?

362
00:13:49,870 --> 00:13:51,872
Well, I think I've seen
Christmas shows

363
00:13:51,872 --> 00:13:54,792
at Radio City Music Hall
that weren't this extravagant.

364
00:13:54,792 --> 00:13:56,627
We might need to scale
back a little, huh?

365
00:13:56,627 --> 00:13:57,836
Well, if by scaled back,

366
00:13:57,836 --> 00:13:59,421
you mean change everything,
then yeah.

367
00:13:59,421 --> 00:14:01,006
But it's our dream wedding.

368
00:14:01,006 --> 00:14:04,593
No, sweetie, your dream wedding
was seized by federal agents.

369
00:14:05,094 --> 00:14:07,137
We can't do all this
by tonight.

370
00:14:07,137 --> 00:14:08,389
Maybe Jessie's right.

371
00:14:08,389 --> 00:14:09,890
We could do without
some of this.

372
00:14:09,890 --> 00:14:11,600
We don't really need
the angels--

373
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,103
Max! They signify our
eternal love for one another

374
00:14:14,103 --> 00:14:15,354
under the eyes of God.

375
00:14:15,354 --> 00:14:16,272
They're sacred.

376
00:14:16,272 --> 00:14:17,773
They're $10 plastic statues

377
00:14:17,773 --> 00:14:19,942
we got from the Christmas store
at Cherry Lane Mall.

378
00:14:19,942 --> 00:14:21,527
Which is open until 6 p.m...

379
00:14:21,527 --> 00:14:23,779
Beth, why don't we talk
about this when he gets here?

380
00:14:23,779 --> 00:14:25,739
Wait, wait, when who gets here?

381
00:14:25,739 --> 00:14:27,491
We've been doing some
pre-wedding counseling

382
00:14:27,491 --> 00:14:28,701
at the church.

383
00:14:28,701 --> 00:14:30,119
We figured today would be
a stressful day,

384
00:14:30,119 --> 00:14:32,746
so we asked Pastor Tim
to come early, just in case.

385
00:14:32,746 --> 00:14:36,625
Wait, Pastor Tim
as in Tim Whitman?

386
00:14:36,625 --> 00:14:39,962
Yes. Who else did you think
was going to do the ceremony?

387
00:14:39,962 --> 00:14:41,463
I don't know.

388
00:14:41,463 --> 00:14:44,341
You're getting married on
Christmas Eve... Santa Claus?

389
00:14:45,050 --> 00:14:46,677
Well, you would have
known if you'd gone

390
00:14:46,677 --> 00:14:47,720
to the rehearsal dinner.

391
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:48,596
I had to work.

392
00:14:48,596 --> 00:14:50,264
Why are you freaking out?

393
00:14:50,264 --> 00:14:52,308
Because it's Tim Whitman!

394
00:14:53,601 --> 00:14:57,021
The guy who...
who broke my heart.

395
00:14:57,813 --> 00:15:01,358
Jessie, it has been
over 15 years.

396
00:15:01,358 --> 00:15:03,986
Whatever he may have been
like in high school,

397
00:15:03,986 --> 00:15:05,738
he is a total sweetheart now.

398
00:15:05,738 --> 00:15:08,157
I'm sure if you just spent
five minutes with him,

399
00:15:08,157 --> 00:15:09,658
it'll be just like old times.

400
00:15:09,658 --> 00:15:10,492
[doorbell]

401
00:15:10,492 --> 00:15:11,785
Oh. Perfect timing.

402
00:15:11,785 --> 00:15:14,371
No, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no.

403
00:15:15,372 --> 00:15:16,916
- Hey.
- Hi.

404
00:15:16,916 --> 00:15:17,917
How are you?

405
00:15:17,917 --> 00:15:19,460
Oh. I'm good.

406
00:15:23,505 --> 00:15:25,549
Wow. It's Tim Whitman.

407
00:15:25,549 --> 00:15:27,885
Hi, Jessie.
Merry Christmas.

408
00:15:27,885 --> 00:15:29,261
Merry Christmas.

409
00:15:29,845 --> 00:15:31,013
Hi, Max.

410
00:15:31,013 --> 00:15:32,556
- Good to see you.
- Good to see you, too.

411
00:15:39,271 --> 00:15:40,981
Do you think
it's big enough?

412
00:15:40,981 --> 00:15:43,859
Well, I guess it depends
on what's going inside.

413
00:15:44,818 --> 00:15:46,028
It's supposed to be things

414
00:15:46,028 --> 00:15:47,529
our family loves
most about Christmas.

415
00:15:47,529 --> 00:15:48,864
Mm.

416
00:15:48,864 --> 00:15:50,741
Well, I don't think
it's going to fit a turkey.

417
00:15:50,741 --> 00:15:52,076
[chuckles] Dad?

418
00:15:53,410 --> 00:15:54,495
What's this?

419
00:15:54,495 --> 00:15:56,121
It's for the time capsule.

420
00:15:56,121 --> 00:15:58,499
How long is this supposed
to stay buried?

421
00:15:58,499 --> 00:16:00,167
We dig it up Christmas Eve,

422
00:16:00,167 --> 00:16:02,294
our senior year
so seven years,

423
00:16:02,294 --> 00:16:03,587
Seven years?

424
00:16:04,129 --> 00:16:07,049
[laughs] That's not going
to last seven years.

425
00:16:07,049 --> 00:16:07,966
It's wood.

426
00:16:07,966 --> 00:16:09,677
It's going to be a pile
of mush.

427
00:16:09,677 --> 00:16:11,178
- Dad, I think it's going to--
- Shh!

428
00:16:12,262 --> 00:16:17,351
Alex, listen to me.
I was an engineer for 42 years.

429
00:16:17,351 --> 00:16:20,312
I worked on trains.
I worked on airplanes.

430
00:16:20,312 --> 00:16:23,816
Now, if you want your time
capsule to still be there

431
00:16:23,816 --> 00:16:27,820
when you dig it up in seven
years, then I'm your man.

432
00:16:27,820 --> 00:16:31,156
Father, are you implying
that you would like to help?

433
00:16:31,156 --> 00:16:33,117
Well, if you're going
to do something,

434
00:16:33,117 --> 00:16:35,619
then you take the time
to do it right.

435
00:16:36,787 --> 00:16:38,914
Let's go see what we can
find in the basement.

436
00:16:38,914 --> 00:16:41,000
Neato! Thanks, Grandpa.

437
00:16:51,260 --> 00:16:52,803
Well, you might have
a cracked pipe

438
00:16:52,803 --> 00:16:54,722
that's making your water
pressure go crazy,

439
00:16:54,722 --> 00:16:56,932
but the only way to find
out is to dig up your yard.

440
00:16:56,932 --> 00:16:58,767
We can't do that in
the middle of a blizzard.

441
00:16:58,767 --> 00:17:00,060
No, I guess not.

442
00:17:00,060 --> 00:17:02,062
So maybe I'll come back
when the snow stops

443
00:17:02,062 --> 00:17:03,355
and see what I dig up.

444
00:17:04,148 --> 00:17:05,941
See what I did there?
[laughs]

445
00:17:05,941 --> 00:17:07,401
Saw from a mile away.

446
00:17:07,401 --> 00:17:09,486
Now my kids are coming for
Christmas dinner tomorrow.

447
00:17:09,486 --> 00:17:11,071
What am I supposed to do
with no water?

448
00:17:11,071 --> 00:17:14,032
I wish I could help, but maybe
see when the snow stops.

449
00:17:14,616 --> 00:17:17,286
- Um, it's nice to meet you.
- Yeah.

450
00:17:17,286 --> 00:17:18,579
And have a merry Christmas.

451
00:17:18,579 --> 00:17:19,705
Same.

452
00:17:20,706 --> 00:17:22,124
I'm so sorry, Regina.

453
00:17:22,124 --> 00:17:23,834
Do you want
to just use our house?

454
00:17:23,834 --> 00:17:26,295
It's just gonna be sitting
empty while we're in Michigan.

455
00:17:26,295 --> 00:17:27,379
Really? You don't mind?

456
00:17:27,379 --> 00:17:28,338
No, of course not.

457
00:17:28,338 --> 00:17:29,173
Oh.

458
00:17:30,299 --> 00:17:31,925
We are not going to
the airport just yet

459
00:17:31,925 --> 00:17:33,802
because our flight
has been delayed.

460
00:17:33,802 --> 00:17:35,637
But not canceled. Right?

461
00:17:36,346 --> 00:17:38,348
Should we just maybe
go home for now?

462
00:17:38,348 --> 00:17:40,517
You know, my house is a
lot closer to the airport.

463
00:17:40,517 --> 00:17:42,936
You could just keep me company
till you're ready to go.

464
00:17:42,936 --> 00:17:45,272
Unless you need anything
requiring water.

465
00:17:45,272 --> 00:17:47,024
Is there water in eggnog?

466
00:17:47,024 --> 00:17:48,692
No. Okay.

467
00:17:50,027 --> 00:17:51,570
[loud knocking]

468
00:17:51,570 --> 00:17:54,364
Whew. Boy, it's cold
out there.

469
00:17:54,364 --> 00:17:55,908
I thought you were--

470
00:17:55,908 --> 00:17:58,494
Leaving? Uh, yeah,
my truck won't start.

471
00:17:58,494 --> 00:18:00,788
I may or may not
have remembered

472
00:18:00,788 --> 00:18:02,039
to put in antifreeze.

473
00:18:02,039 --> 00:18:04,416
Uh, isn't that sort of
like your car's plumbing?

474
00:18:04,416 --> 00:18:05,417
Ironic, right?

475
00:18:05,417 --> 00:18:06,794
Mm.

476
00:18:06,794 --> 00:18:08,504
I called Triple-A. They'll
be here in an hour or two.

477
00:18:08,504 --> 00:18:09,671
An hour or two.

478
00:18:09,671 --> 00:18:12,132
Oh. Oh, it's okay.
I can wait in the truck.

479
00:18:12,132 --> 00:18:13,967
I've got my coat and gloves.

480
00:18:13,967 --> 00:18:15,302
And if it gets too chilly,

481
00:18:15,302 --> 00:18:17,346
I can just burn
whatever's in the glove box.

482
00:18:17,346 --> 00:18:20,682
No, look, I may not have
water, but I've got heat, so.

483
00:18:20,682 --> 00:18:23,018
Oh, no, no, no.
I don't I don't want to.

484
00:18:23,602 --> 00:18:24,895
No. Come on in.

485
00:18:33,070 --> 00:18:35,864
[cheerful music]

486
00:18:35,864 --> 00:18:37,282
What can I do to help?

487
00:18:37,282 --> 00:18:38,700
I'm pretty handy
in the kitchen.

488
00:18:38,700 --> 00:18:40,911
I make a mean instant
mashed potatoes.

489
00:18:40,911 --> 00:18:42,204
Well...

490
00:18:43,205 --> 00:18:45,082
That would require water.

491
00:18:45,082 --> 00:18:45,833
Fair point.

492
00:18:45,833 --> 00:18:47,042
Well, let me do something.

493
00:18:47,042 --> 00:18:48,627
One thing you'll learn
about me, Regina,

494
00:18:48,627 --> 00:18:49,837
is I sing for my supper.

495
00:18:49,837 --> 00:18:52,631
Well, not literally.
I'm a terrible singer.

496
00:18:52,631 --> 00:18:54,216
Unless you're talking
Christmas carols

497
00:18:54,216 --> 00:18:55,551
and I rock "Joy to The World".

498
00:18:55,551 --> 00:18:56,510
Good to know.

499
00:18:57,594 --> 00:18:59,096
So, um, how do you know
Ivy and Hector?

500
00:18:59,096 --> 00:19:00,138
They seem great.

501
00:19:00,138 --> 00:19:02,558
Yeah. Well, Ivy and I
work together.

502
00:19:02,558 --> 00:19:03,684
Yeah. Where?

503
00:19:03,684 --> 00:19:05,185
Pinewood High School.
She's a teacher.

504
00:19:05,185 --> 00:19:06,645
And I'm the principal.

505
00:19:06,645 --> 00:19:08,105
- Really?
- Mmhmm.

506
00:19:08,105 --> 00:19:09,606
Wow.

507
00:19:09,606 --> 00:19:11,150
If my principal looked like
you, I wouldn't have minded

508
00:19:11,150 --> 00:19:12,860
getting sent there
all the time as a kid.

509
00:19:12,860 --> 00:19:17,239
Well, um... anyway, Ivy
is more than a co-worker.

510
00:19:17,239 --> 00:19:21,326
My husband is her-
was her father's best friend.

511
00:19:21,326 --> 00:19:23,120
He passed away.

512
00:19:23,704 --> 00:19:25,706
I do that all the time too,

513
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,459
refer to my late wife
in the present tense,

514
00:19:31,128 --> 00:19:32,504
as I always will.

515
00:19:34,923 --> 00:19:37,926
Anyway, um, Ivy's family,

516
00:19:37,926 --> 00:19:41,555
you know, she actually was born
in this house on Christmas Eve.

517
00:19:41,555 --> 00:19:42,681
- Oh, really?
- Yeah.

518
00:19:42,681 --> 00:19:44,391
Wait. Today's her birthday?

519
00:19:44,391 --> 00:19:45,434
Yeah.

520
00:19:45,434 --> 00:19:47,227
Well, we have to do something.

521
00:19:48,395 --> 00:19:49,730
Do you have any candles?

522
00:19:51,648 --> 00:19:53,025
I don't know.

523
00:19:53,025 --> 00:19:55,277
- Happy birthday!
- Aww!

524
00:19:55,277 --> 00:19:56,445
Sorry for the donut.

525
00:19:56,445 --> 00:19:58,071
It was the best I could do
on short notice.

526
00:19:58,071 --> 00:19:59,156
It's perfect.
Thank you.

527
00:19:59,531 --> 00:20:00,782
Make a wish.

528
00:20:02,242 --> 00:20:03,368
[claps]

529
00:20:03,368 --> 00:20:04,328
[all laughing]

530
00:20:05,662 --> 00:20:07,789
What's it like having a
birthday on Christmas Eve?

531
00:20:07,789 --> 00:20:09,708
Did you have to fight
Santa Claus for attention?

532
00:20:09,708 --> 00:20:11,251
No, no, no, no.

533
00:20:11,251 --> 00:20:12,878
My parents were pretty good
about keeping things separate.

534
00:20:12,878 --> 00:20:14,338
So daytime was birthday.

535
00:20:14,338 --> 00:20:16,548
And when the sun went down,
it was Christmas Eve.

536
00:20:16,548 --> 00:20:17,883
Do you remember the time,

537
00:20:17,883 --> 00:20:19,718
it was probably a couple
of years

538
00:20:19,718 --> 00:20:21,803
before your mom
and dad moved to Michigan.

539
00:20:21,803 --> 00:20:24,097
So you and Conrad would have
been, like, six years old.

540
00:20:24,097 --> 00:20:27,142
And he came in and he said,
Merry Christmas

541
00:20:27,142 --> 00:20:28,393
before happy birthday.

542
00:20:28,393 --> 00:20:29,603
Do I remember?

543
00:20:29,603 --> 00:20:31,897
That temper tantrum
went down in history?

544
00:20:31,897 --> 00:20:33,065
Conrad's your son?

545
00:20:33,065 --> 00:20:34,942
Yeah. They were born
a few months apart.

546
00:20:34,942 --> 00:20:37,402
So they were friends
before they could even walk.

547
00:20:37,402 --> 00:20:38,278
Mmhmm.

548
00:20:38,278 --> 00:20:39,446
Yeah.

549
00:20:40,906 --> 00:20:42,991
This is the first Christmas
Eve I've spent without them.

550
00:20:42,991 --> 00:20:44,368
Well, there's something about

551
00:20:44,368 --> 00:20:46,328
being with your kids at
Christmas that's important.

552
00:20:46,954 --> 00:20:48,163
Do you have kids?

553
00:20:48,163 --> 00:20:50,123
Uh. Just one. Melanie.
She's down in Florida

554
00:20:50,123 --> 00:20:51,667
and she's eight months
pregnant,

555
00:20:51,667 --> 00:20:53,168
so she couldn't make
the trip home.

556
00:20:53,168 --> 00:20:55,337
Oh, congratulations, you're
going to be a grandfather.

557
00:20:55,337 --> 00:20:57,714
Thank you, thank you. I'm
going to spoil that kid rotten.

558
00:20:58,048 --> 00:20:59,633
How about you?
You have any little ones?

559
00:21:00,384 --> 00:21:03,095
Um. Not yet.

560
00:21:03,095 --> 00:21:04,638
Well, I'm telling you,

561
00:21:04,638 --> 00:21:06,515
it's the greatest thing that
ever happened to me in my life.

562
00:21:06,515 --> 00:21:09,393
Uh, Nelson, would you help me
with something in the kitchen?

563
00:21:09,393 --> 00:21:11,144
Uh, sure.

564
00:21:16,149 --> 00:21:17,192
Hey.

565
00:21:18,443 --> 00:21:19,903
Why do I feel like
I'm getting called

566
00:21:19,903 --> 00:21:20,988
to the principal's office?

567
00:21:20,988 --> 00:21:23,115
It's about Ivy and Hector.

568
00:21:23,115 --> 00:21:24,324
Yeah.

569
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:26,493
It's the whole subject
of children.

570
00:21:26,493 --> 00:21:28,704
It's just kind of a
sore subject for them.

571
00:21:28,704 --> 00:21:30,539
Oh. I'm sorry.

572
00:21:30,539 --> 00:21:34,042
Sometimes my mouth just gets
going faster than my brain.

573
00:21:34,042 --> 00:21:35,794
I feel terrible.
I should go apologize.

574
00:21:35,794 --> 00:21:36,837
No, no, no, no.

575
00:21:36,837 --> 00:21:38,255
Look, while you're here,

576
00:21:38,255 --> 00:21:40,966
let's just agree to keep things
merry and bright, okay?

577
00:21:41,216 --> 00:21:42,676
- Yeah.
- Yeah.

578
00:21:46,263 --> 00:21:47,639
How are we feeling?

579
00:21:47,639 --> 00:21:48,515
- Good.
- Good.

580
00:21:48,515 --> 00:21:50,183
- Yeah.
- I'm excited.

581
00:21:50,183 --> 00:21:51,977
Oh. Do you need any
help with that, Jessie?

582
00:21:51,977 --> 00:21:53,270
No, I've got it.
Thank you.

583
00:21:53,270 --> 00:21:55,105
Well, I was just telling Beth
and Max here

584
00:21:55,105 --> 00:21:56,982
how lucky they are to have
someone like you

585
00:21:56,982 --> 00:21:58,650
willing to come
to their rescue.

586
00:21:59,109 --> 00:22:01,903
I've got the best older
sister in the entire world.

587
00:22:01,903 --> 00:22:03,405
I just came to help them

588
00:22:03,405 --> 00:22:05,157
navigate these
tricky waters today.

589
00:22:05,157 --> 00:22:07,242
There's a lot of emotion
going on today, I'm sure.

590
00:22:07,242 --> 00:22:08,702
You can say that again.

591
00:22:08,702 --> 00:22:10,078
I'm sorry.

592
00:22:10,078 --> 00:22:12,539
Oh, no, no, nothing.
Please go on. Sorry.

593
00:22:12,539 --> 00:22:14,583
Well, I know we have
a ton to do today,

594
00:22:14,583 --> 00:22:16,668
so I figured I'd roll
my sleeves up and help.

595
00:22:16,668 --> 00:22:19,129
Figured I could start
with the painting duties.

596
00:22:19,129 --> 00:22:22,549
Painting? Uh, what
are we painting?

597
00:22:22,549 --> 00:22:25,385
Oh, well, Max
and I were talking

598
00:22:25,385 --> 00:22:27,429
and we thought if we set
up all the Christmas trees

599
00:22:27,429 --> 00:22:28,764
by the house--

600
00:22:28,764 --> 00:22:31,975
Again with the plural trees,
how many are there?

601
00:22:31,975 --> 00:22:33,894
Well, we wanted to have six,
but I don't think

602
00:22:33,894 --> 00:22:35,979
we're gonna be able to fit
more than four back there.

603
00:22:35,979 --> 00:22:38,106
It'll still make a great
backdrop for wedding photos,

604
00:22:38,106 --> 00:22:40,358
but the color of your house
is going to clash

605
00:22:40,358 --> 00:22:41,610
with our palette.

606
00:22:41,610 --> 00:22:43,987
I'm sorry. You... you
want to paint my house?

607
00:22:43,987 --> 00:22:45,030
Not the whole house.

608
00:22:45,030 --> 00:22:46,615
We're not painting anything!

609
00:22:46,615 --> 00:22:48,658
Hey, can I-- can I talk
to you for just one second?

610
00:22:49,576 --> 00:22:50,994
Yeah, sure.

611
00:22:52,662 --> 00:22:53,747
Be right back.

612
00:22:58,043 --> 00:22:59,461
No need to thank me.

613
00:22:59,461 --> 00:23:00,545
I wasn't going to.

614
00:23:00,545 --> 00:23:02,089
I brought up painting
the house

615
00:23:02,089 --> 00:23:03,799
because I know they're trying
to slip a few little things

616
00:23:03,799 --> 00:23:05,384
into the plan without
you noticing.

617
00:23:05,384 --> 00:23:06,426
Little things?

618
00:23:06,426 --> 00:23:07,969
They're having
a Christmas wedding.

619
00:23:07,969 --> 00:23:10,472
But the first Christmas, didn't
even have this much stuff.

620
00:23:10,472 --> 00:23:13,683
A few wise men and some myrrh
and a donkey.

621
00:23:14,142 --> 00:23:15,102
There's not going to be

622
00:23:15,102 --> 00:23:16,144
a donkey in my backyard,
is there?

623
00:23:16,144 --> 00:23:17,896
No, no, it's in
the dining room.

624
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,982
Look, they seem
to listen to you.

625
00:23:20,982 --> 00:23:23,276
Can you just talk
them out of this?

626
00:23:24,194 --> 00:23:25,654
It is a little over the top.

627
00:23:25,654 --> 00:23:28,532
You keep using the word
little completely wrong.

628
00:23:28,532 --> 00:23:30,242
This is important
to them, right?

629
00:23:30,242 --> 00:23:31,368
This is their wedding.

630
00:23:31,368 --> 00:23:33,370
We need to get them
to scale it back.

631
00:23:33,870 --> 00:23:34,955
Way back.

632
00:23:36,540 --> 00:23:37,833
Santa's reindeer elf.

633
00:23:37,833 --> 00:23:38,708
Huh?

634
00:23:39,459 --> 00:23:40,377
Oh! Come on.

635
00:23:41,378 --> 00:23:42,379
You remember Santa's
reindeer elf?

636
00:23:42,379 --> 00:23:43,547
When we were kids
we didn't know

637
00:23:43,547 --> 00:23:45,090
what movie we wanted
to watch.

638
00:23:45,090 --> 00:23:47,217
We played Santa's reindeer elf.
It's like rock, paper scissors.

639
00:23:47,217 --> 00:23:48,802
Santa's reindeer elf.

640
00:23:50,262 --> 00:23:52,848
Like Santa's beats the elves
because, well, he's their boss.

641
00:23:52,848 --> 00:23:55,642
And the elves are in charge
of the reindeer, so they win.

642
00:23:55,642 --> 00:23:56,977
And then the reindeer
beat Santa.

643
00:23:56,977 --> 00:23:59,062
Well, you know, he needs
them to pull the sleigh.

644
00:23:59,771 --> 00:24:00,647
I'd forgotten all about that.

645
00:24:00,647 --> 00:24:01,857
Yeah, because I always won.

646
00:24:01,857 --> 00:24:03,024
No. You cheated.

647
00:24:03,024 --> 00:24:04,317
How do you cheat in
Santa reindeer elf?

648
00:24:04,317 --> 00:24:06,736
I don't know, but you did.

649
00:24:06,736 --> 00:24:09,364
Anyway, we're not
kids anymore, okay?

650
00:24:09,364 --> 00:24:12,659
We don't need silly kids
games to make decisions.

651
00:24:12,659 --> 00:24:13,827
Okay?

652
00:24:14,578 --> 00:24:17,289
Okay, let's take it
to a vote.

653
00:24:18,039 --> 00:24:19,541
One, two.

654
00:24:19,541 --> 00:24:21,084
Yeah. Three to one.

655
00:24:21,084 --> 00:24:22,335
Let's plan a wedding,
shall we?

656
00:24:22,335 --> 00:24:23,753
- Wait.
- Come on.

657
00:24:23,753 --> 00:24:27,174
Reindeer Santa's elf,
whatever it was, it was great.

658
00:24:28,091 --> 00:24:31,511
Lovely. All right, let's
get you under the dryer.

659
00:24:32,304 --> 00:24:33,263
Here we are.

660
00:24:34,598 --> 00:24:36,641
Then we will have
the grand unveiling.

661
00:24:36,641 --> 00:24:38,393
I can't wait.

662
00:24:38,393 --> 00:24:40,562
Now I'm going to go
check on those boys.

663
00:24:40,562 --> 00:24:43,940
If you need anything,
you just yell.

664
00:24:45,984 --> 00:24:47,068
Thank you.

665
00:24:47,068 --> 00:24:48,361
You're welcome.

666
00:24:50,822 --> 00:24:53,950
Now, this is galvanized steel.

667
00:24:53,950 --> 00:24:56,828
Always remember, you can't go
wrong with galvanized steel.

668
00:24:56,828 --> 00:24:59,456
Don't we have that crocheted
on a pillow somewhere?

669
00:24:59,456 --> 00:25:02,500
Alex, sweetheart, what are
you going to put in it?

670
00:25:03,126 --> 00:25:04,753
Mm. I don't know.

671
00:25:04,753 --> 00:25:07,589
What's important to our family
for Christmas.

672
00:25:07,589 --> 00:25:08,965
Galvanized steel.

673
00:25:09,466 --> 00:25:11,092
I think the most
important thing

674
00:25:11,092 --> 00:25:13,428
is the time we spend
with each other.

675
00:25:13,428 --> 00:25:15,055
Maybe family photos.

676
00:25:15,055 --> 00:25:17,224
Yeah, that would be neat.

677
00:25:18,558 --> 00:25:21,728
Dad, do you have
a different opinion?

678
00:25:21,728 --> 00:25:23,313
This is a sturdy box here.

679
00:25:23,313 --> 00:25:25,273
You don't want to waste
it on pictures.

680
00:25:25,273 --> 00:25:27,150
That's why you have
photo albums.

681
00:25:27,859 --> 00:25:28,818
[clears throat]

682
00:25:30,445 --> 00:25:31,863
Okay, Dad.

683
00:25:31,863 --> 00:25:33,990
Well, what do you suggest
we put in the time capsule?

684
00:25:35,700 --> 00:25:36,576
Money.

685
00:25:37,285 --> 00:25:38,161
Money?

686
00:25:38,662 --> 00:25:39,829
Yeah, money.

687
00:25:39,829 --> 00:25:42,123
Good old-fashioned
American currency.

688
00:25:42,123 --> 00:25:45,210
That way, when you dig it
up, it'll be worth something.

689
00:25:46,670 --> 00:25:49,965
It's supposed to be about
the spirit of Christmas.

690
00:25:49,965 --> 00:25:53,134
Warmth and happiness and
family and good tidings

691
00:25:53,134 --> 00:25:54,844
towards your fellow man.

692
00:25:55,845 --> 00:25:58,431
You know what my
fellow man really wants?

693
00:25:59,307 --> 00:26:00,392
Money.

694
00:26:02,936 --> 00:26:05,897
Sweetheart, I just
wanted to talk to you

695
00:26:05,897 --> 00:26:07,399
about my yam casserole.

696
00:26:07,399 --> 00:26:10,485
Do you think that I need
to add-- what are you doing?

697
00:26:13,071 --> 00:26:13,989
Oh.

698
00:26:14,364 --> 00:26:15,949
- Oh!
- Those are for later.

699
00:26:15,949 --> 00:26:17,325
This is an emergency.

700
00:26:17,325 --> 00:26:18,368
You'll survive.

701
00:26:18,368 --> 00:26:20,704
He is impossible, Penny!

702
00:26:20,704 --> 00:26:23,707
He is who he is
and you are who you are.

703
00:26:23,707 --> 00:26:25,959
You need to find a way that
you can both be who you are

704
00:26:25,959 --> 00:26:27,961
in the same room
without killing each other.

705
00:26:27,961 --> 00:26:30,046
And if you can't, at least
do it in the backyard.

706
00:26:30,046 --> 00:26:32,048
Because I have to serve
Christmas Eve dinner

707
00:26:32,048 --> 00:26:33,174
in that room.

708
00:26:34,884 --> 00:26:38,930
The problem is that we
are just so different.

709
00:26:38,930 --> 00:26:43,351
No, the problem is
you are so much alike.

710
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:46,938
Get back in there!

711
00:26:56,448 --> 00:26:58,533
[pleasant music]

712
00:26:58,533 --> 00:27:00,702
Yes. Okay.
Thank you so much.

713
00:27:00,702 --> 00:27:02,287
All right, bye.

714
00:27:02,287 --> 00:27:04,039
Okay, so one of our
choir members said

715
00:27:04,039 --> 00:27:05,707
we can use the heat lamps
from his backyard.

716
00:27:05,707 --> 00:27:06,541
That's great.

717
00:27:06,541 --> 00:27:08,877
Okay. Good news,
bad news.

718
00:27:08,877 --> 00:27:11,838
Our customer found tuxes
for Max and his best man.

719
00:27:11,838 --> 00:27:13,715
I run a theater
company downtown.

720
00:27:13,715 --> 00:27:15,050
I've seen your shows.

721
00:27:15,050 --> 00:27:16,176
You have?

722
00:27:18,928 --> 00:27:22,140
Anyway, but no luck
on the dress.

723
00:27:22,140 --> 00:27:24,434
At least not one that's
appropriate for a wedding.

724
00:27:24,976 --> 00:27:26,227
I had the most perfect dress,

725
00:27:26,227 --> 00:27:28,772
but it's in the venue
and we can't get to it.

726
00:27:28,772 --> 00:27:30,857
Why did you have everything
deliver yesterday?

727
00:27:30,857 --> 00:27:33,193
I mean, that's not how
weddings usually work.

728
00:27:33,193 --> 00:27:35,653
We didn't want to have to worry
about doing stuff last minute.

729
00:27:35,653 --> 00:27:37,781
No, that would be terrible.

730
00:27:37,781 --> 00:27:39,741
Okay, so why are there
Christmas trees

731
00:27:39,741 --> 00:27:40,867
in my living room?

732
00:27:40,867 --> 00:27:41,993
Because it's cold outside

733
00:27:41,993 --> 00:27:43,995
and we didn't want them
to freeze.

734
00:27:43,995 --> 00:27:46,247
They're trees, they're
supposed to be outside.

735
00:27:46,247 --> 00:27:48,625
And why are there four?
I thought we agreed on two.

736
00:27:48,625 --> 00:27:51,753
Right. Two on each side
of the altar.

737
00:27:51,753 --> 00:27:53,213
There's a bakery by the mall

738
00:27:53,213 --> 00:27:54,506
that has a
Christmas-themed cake.

739
00:27:54,506 --> 00:27:56,174
It's like a little
snow-covered village,

740
00:27:56,174 --> 00:27:58,426
complete with a Christmas
tree in the town square.

741
00:27:58,426 --> 00:27:59,719
So five trees.

742
00:27:59,719 --> 00:28:01,429
Somebody was supposed
to pick it up today,

743
00:28:01,429 --> 00:28:02,889
but they cancelled.
We can have it.

744
00:28:02,889 --> 00:28:04,057
but we gotta go right now.

745
00:28:04,057 --> 00:28:05,225
Perfect. We'll get
the Christmas Angels

746
00:28:05,225 --> 00:28:06,768
and all the other decorations
at the mall

747
00:28:06,768 --> 00:28:08,061
and then swing by the theater.

748
00:28:08,061 --> 00:28:09,479
Great. Pastor Tim, Jessie,

749
00:28:09,479 --> 00:28:12,273
why don't you get started
on decorating the trees?

750
00:28:12,273 --> 00:28:13,817
Beth, let's go.

751
00:28:18,363 --> 00:28:19,614
Oh. [clears throat]

752
00:28:22,659 --> 00:28:24,327
Looks like it's just
the two of us.

753
00:28:27,664 --> 00:28:29,958
Almost finished here,
Barbara.

754
00:28:29,958 --> 00:28:32,585
Thank you for fitting me in
on Christmas Eve.

755
00:28:32,585 --> 00:28:35,171
I'm sure you'd prefer to be
with your family this morning.

756
00:28:35,171 --> 00:28:38,758
It's much more festive in here,
believe me.

757
00:28:38,758 --> 00:28:41,511
What is the story between
Eli and his father?

758
00:28:41,511 --> 00:28:43,138
Did they ever get along?

759
00:28:43,138 --> 00:28:45,140
Like oil and water those two.

760
00:28:45,140 --> 00:28:47,475
Except they are both
very stubborn.

761
00:28:47,475 --> 00:28:48,727
Walter is an engineer,

762
00:28:48,727 --> 00:28:50,937
and he understands things
that he can build,

763
00:28:50,937 --> 00:28:53,982
and Eli has always
been very creative.

764
00:28:53,982 --> 00:28:57,360
Sensitive like
his mother, Judy.

765
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,488
Now those two, oh,
they were thick as thieves,

766
00:29:00,488 --> 00:29:03,158
especially at the holidays.

767
00:29:03,158 --> 00:29:05,785
She would start singing carols
around Thanksgiving,

768
00:29:05,785 --> 00:29:09,414
and she wouldn't stop
until after New Year.

769
00:29:09,414 --> 00:29:10,874
[both chuckle]

770
00:29:11,541 --> 00:29:15,044
She even had a clock that
played Christmas songs

771
00:29:15,044 --> 00:29:19,340
every hour on the hour,
24 hours a day.

772
00:29:19,340 --> 00:29:21,009
That's very merry.

773
00:29:21,009 --> 00:29:24,053
Eli's mother was the glue
that held that family together.

774
00:29:24,053 --> 00:29:26,598
And when she passed
a few years ago,

775
00:29:26,598 --> 00:29:28,516
Walter and Eli
just drifted further apart.

776
00:29:29,184 --> 00:29:31,436
It sounds like they need
someone new to be the glue.

777
00:29:31,978 --> 00:29:33,062
Yes.

778
00:29:34,272 --> 00:29:35,857
I think they do.

779
00:29:37,567 --> 00:29:42,071
[sighs] Well, I am done.

780
00:29:43,948 --> 00:29:47,535
It looks so... different.

781
00:29:49,454 --> 00:29:50,747
[sighs]

782
00:29:51,498 --> 00:29:52,874
Is that a good thing?

783
00:29:53,666 --> 00:29:55,376
It's a wonderful thing.

784
00:29:56,044 --> 00:29:58,421
So much for meatloaf
Wednesdays.

785
00:29:58,421 --> 00:30:01,591
Something other than Elvis'
Christmas album tonight.

786
00:30:01,591 --> 00:30:04,344
No way.
We're still listening to that.

787
00:30:04,344 --> 00:30:06,429
But this time
we'll dance together.

788
00:30:06,429 --> 00:30:09,349
And then we'll talk,
really talk.

789
00:30:09,349 --> 00:30:12,060
That's what every great
relationship needs.

790
00:30:12,060 --> 00:30:14,229
Communication, no matter what.

791
00:30:15,563 --> 00:30:16,731
Oh, Penny...

792
00:30:18,149 --> 00:30:22,403
you always make me look great
and feel even better.

793
00:30:22,403 --> 00:30:24,948
That's the best part
of my job.

794
00:30:24,948 --> 00:30:27,450
Now let's get you
to your party.

795
00:30:28,409 --> 00:30:30,078
There must be something
I can whip up

796
00:30:30,078 --> 00:30:31,329
that doesn't involve water.

797
00:30:31,329 --> 00:30:32,956
Regina, you really, really don't
need to feed us.

798
00:30:32,956 --> 00:30:34,582
We're just gonna
go to the airport.

799
00:30:34,582 --> 00:30:37,585
You know, the storm
seems to be... slowing down.

800
00:30:37,585 --> 00:30:40,088
Your optimism is the thing
I love most about you.

801
00:30:40,088 --> 00:30:42,048
Reminds me of your Uncle Greg.

802
00:30:43,633 --> 00:30:45,260

Yeah.

806
00:30:51,307 --> 00:30:52,767
Nelson, he's a character,
isn't he?

807
00:30:52,767 --> 00:30:54,060
That's one way of putting it.

808
00:30:54,060 --> 00:30:55,103
[laughs]

809
00:30:55,103 --> 00:30:56,688

814
00:31:06,406 --> 00:31:09,659
Hello. Yes, this is
Principal Johnston.

815
00:31:10,743 --> 00:31:11,911
Who?

816
00:31:13,371 --> 00:31:14,747
How did that happen?

817
00:31:15,665 --> 00:31:17,333
Uh, no. I think
the custodian's

818
00:31:17,333 --> 00:31:19,335
the only other one
that has the key.

819
00:31:19,335 --> 00:31:21,379
Okay. Yeah.
Keep me posted.

820
00:31:22,672 --> 00:31:25,091
Uh, that was the coach.

821
00:31:25,091 --> 00:31:27,093
He said that some of the
students broke into the school

822
00:31:27,093 --> 00:31:28,177
and got stuck in the gym.

823
00:31:28,177 --> 00:31:29,345
How?

824
00:31:29,345 --> 00:31:30,638
I don't know, but if
this snow keeps up,

825
00:31:30,638 --> 00:31:32,307
they might be stuck there
for a while.

826
00:31:32,307 --> 00:31:33,099
Mm.

827
00:31:34,100 --> 00:31:35,351
I have a Christmas
Eve brainstorm.

828
00:31:35,351 --> 00:31:36,561
- Come with me.
- What?

829
00:31:37,937 --> 00:31:38,855
Okay.

830
00:31:41,065 --> 00:31:43,526
So, do you know
what you're doing?

831
00:31:43,526 --> 00:31:45,528
I'll figure it out.
You know me.

832
00:31:45,528 --> 00:31:46,946
No, I don't.

833
00:31:48,406 --> 00:31:51,743
All right. Now might be a good
time for a Christmas wish.

834
00:31:51,743 --> 00:31:52,952
Hand me the--

835
00:31:53,620 --> 00:31:54,996
You may not know
what you're doing,

836
00:31:54,996 --> 00:31:57,332
but either way, you're
gonna need a wrench to do it.

837
00:31:58,750 --> 00:32:00,293
You surprise me, Regina.

838
00:32:00,293 --> 00:32:01,920
Because I know what
a wrench is.

839
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:03,796
No, because you're not afraid
to tell a plumber to use one.

840
00:32:03,796 --> 00:32:05,173
Well, you're not a plumber.

841
00:32:05,173 --> 00:32:06,382
Ah. Well, you strike me

842
00:32:06,382 --> 00:32:08,384
as somebody who can
take care of themselves.

843
00:32:08,384 --> 00:32:10,803
Somebody I wouldn't want
to mess with.

844
00:32:10,803 --> 00:32:12,388
I'm a high school principal.

845
00:32:12,388 --> 00:32:14,474
You can't show weakness or you
know they will eat you alive.

846
00:32:14,474 --> 00:32:16,601
That's true, but there's
more to it than that.

847
00:32:18,227 --> 00:32:20,188
I guess I got used
to taking care of myself.

848
00:32:20,772 --> 00:32:21,731
Mm.

849
00:32:21,731 --> 00:32:23,942
May I ask about your husband?

850
00:32:25,026 --> 00:32:26,235
Greg.

851
00:32:27,487 --> 00:32:29,989
He passed away 10 years ago.
Yeah.

852
00:32:29,989 --> 00:32:32,367
Conrad and Winnie
were still kids.

853
00:32:32,367 --> 00:32:35,161
So as hard as it was, I had
to take care of everybody.

854
00:32:35,912 --> 00:32:37,455
Who takes care of you?

855
00:32:38,373 --> 00:32:41,042
Um. I don't need anyone
to take care of me.

856
00:32:41,042 --> 00:32:43,586
Everybody needs
somebody sometimes.

857
00:32:44,253 --> 00:32:47,048
Oh, and, hey, I am sorry
for overstepping earlier.

858
00:32:47,048 --> 00:32:48,591
Hector gave me some context,

859
00:32:48,591 --> 00:32:50,593
and I realized why I should
have kept my big mouth shut.

860
00:32:50,593 --> 00:32:52,220
It's just not my strong suit.

861
00:32:52,220 --> 00:32:53,221
I got that.

862
00:32:53,763 --> 00:32:55,056
But I've been there,
you know,

863
00:32:55,056 --> 00:32:56,307
when my wife
and I found out

864
00:32:56,307 --> 00:32:57,934
that we couldn't have kids
of our own,

865
00:32:57,934 --> 00:33:00,061
you know, it took
a while to adjust.

866
00:33:00,061 --> 00:33:01,187
And then we were
at a party.

867
00:33:01,187 --> 00:33:02,355
And this loudmouth goes on

868
00:33:02,355 --> 00:33:03,940
about how we should
consider adopting.

869
00:33:03,940 --> 00:33:05,316
And that's how we ended up
with Melanie.

870
00:33:05,316 --> 00:33:06,401
That's wonderful.

871
00:33:06,401 --> 00:33:07,735
I just wish we'd gotten
there sooner.

872
00:33:07,735 --> 00:33:09,320
You know, had more kids

873
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,239
and more Christmas mornings
with them.

874
00:33:11,239 --> 00:33:13,282
or with my wife
before she--

875
00:33:17,829 --> 00:33:20,039
We always want more time,
don't we?

876
00:33:20,915 --> 00:33:21,958
Yeah.

877
00:33:21,958 --> 00:33:24,127
Anyway, when kids
come up now.

878
00:33:24,127 --> 00:33:26,003
I become the loudmouth
at the party.

879
00:33:26,003 --> 00:33:28,715
Oh, something tells me
that's not a rare occurrence.

880
00:33:28,715 --> 00:33:30,633
[chuckles] See you do know me.

881
00:33:30,633 --> 00:33:31,634
[laughs]

882
00:33:34,429 --> 00:33:36,305
- Hey!
- Nice job, Nelson.

883
00:33:36,305 --> 00:33:37,598
Hey.

884
00:33:37,598 --> 00:33:38,474
Full disclosure, it's only
here in the kitchen,

885
00:33:38,474 --> 00:33:39,809
and I don't know for how long.

886
00:33:39,809 --> 00:33:41,936
Well, let's go get some pitchers
to fill up, then.

887
00:33:43,980 --> 00:33:45,314
I told you I knew
what I was doing.

888
00:33:45,314 --> 00:33:46,733
Still not a plumber.

889
00:33:52,155 --> 00:33:55,074
[cheerful music]

890
00:33:59,162 --> 00:34:02,248
Dad, what are you doing?
Careful on those stairs.

891
00:34:02,248 --> 00:34:04,876
I'm fine.
I'm not made of glass.

892
00:34:04,876 --> 00:34:06,586
Says the man
with the broken hip.

893
00:34:07,170 --> 00:34:08,463
It didn't happen on the stairs.

894
00:34:08,463 --> 00:34:10,631
It happened on that icy
front porch of yours,

895
00:34:10,631 --> 00:34:13,301
and you really need to do
something about it.

896
00:34:13,301 --> 00:34:16,054
I will be sure to give it
a stern talking to.

897
00:34:16,054 --> 00:34:16,846
Huh.

898
00:34:17,722 --> 00:34:19,056
What are you doing down here?

899
00:34:19,056 --> 00:34:21,267
We're sitting up there
with an empty box.

900
00:34:21,267 --> 00:34:22,560
What's it made of again?

901
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,270
Oh. It's galvanized--

902
00:34:25,730 --> 00:34:27,148
[small chuckle]

903
00:34:27,148 --> 00:34:29,859
You and your jokes
and your words and your--

904
00:34:29,859 --> 00:34:32,111
I'll never understand you.

905
00:34:32,111 --> 00:34:33,780
What's all this stuff?

906
00:34:33,780 --> 00:34:36,115
Ornaments and keepsakes.

907
00:34:36,699 --> 00:34:38,284
Thought I'd find
something interesting

908
00:34:38,284 --> 00:34:39,952
to put into Alex's
time capsule.

909
00:34:42,288 --> 00:34:44,290
A lot of this was
your mother's.

910
00:34:46,083 --> 00:34:48,044
She loved Christmas.

911
00:34:51,672 --> 00:34:53,257
Dad, do you remember this?

912
00:34:54,842 --> 00:34:56,969
Oh, I have nightmares
about that.

913
00:34:56,969 --> 00:34:58,846
Your mother knew
how much I hated it.

914
00:34:58,846 --> 00:35:00,723
So she would only
put it up

915
00:35:00,723 --> 00:35:02,683
when she was mad at me
about something.

916
00:35:03,559 --> 00:35:05,561
Well, it was up a lot.

917
00:35:08,231 --> 00:35:09,816
Oh, Dad.
Wow, look at this.

918
00:35:11,609 --> 00:35:13,903
Mom's singing Christmas clock.

919
00:35:16,864 --> 00:35:18,574
What are you doing with this?

920
00:35:20,117 --> 00:35:22,245
I've been looking
for this for years.

921
00:35:23,454 --> 00:35:25,123
I didn't even know it was here.

922
00:35:25,790 --> 00:35:27,166
You have no business

923
00:35:27,166 --> 00:35:29,919
taking things that don't
belong to you.

924
00:35:33,881 --> 00:35:34,966
Dad...

925
00:35:39,428 --> 00:35:41,597
Okay. And you're sure you don't
need to stay at our house?

926
00:35:41,597 --> 00:35:43,724
Yeah. The water's back on.
I'll be fine.

927
00:35:43,724 --> 00:35:45,977
Okay. And what about, um...

928
00:35:45,977 --> 00:35:47,436
Triple A's on the way?

929
00:35:47,436 --> 00:35:49,230
You two need to get going.
You're gonna miss your flight.

930
00:35:49,230 --> 00:35:50,439
If it doesn't get cancelled.

931
00:35:50,439 --> 00:35:51,566
It's not gonna get cancelled.

932
00:35:51,566 --> 00:35:52,733
All right, well, if
it gets cancelled,

933
00:35:52,733 --> 00:35:54,485
you've got the key
so come in anytime.

934
00:35:54,485 --> 00:35:55,653
- Okay.
- Okay.

935
00:35:55,653 --> 00:35:57,446
- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas, honey.

936
00:35:58,823 --> 00:35:59,824
Bye.

937
00:36:00,283 --> 00:36:02,493
Um. Bye, Nelson.
Merry Christmas

938
00:36:02,493 --> 00:36:04,078
Yeah, you too.
Nice meeting you.

939
00:36:04,078 --> 00:36:05,454
Okay, here we go.

940
00:36:05,454 --> 00:36:06,581
Bye guys.

941
00:36:10,334 --> 00:36:13,254
You know, I'm sure the tow
truck will be here any minute.

942
00:36:13,254 --> 00:36:14,589
Why don't I just wait
on the truck?

943
00:36:14,589 --> 00:36:15,590
Oh, don't be silly.

944
00:36:15,590 --> 00:36:16,966
You've got the water
working again.

945
00:36:16,966 --> 00:36:18,050
I owe you.

946
00:36:18,050 --> 00:36:19,552
I'm still going to send
you a bill.

947
00:36:20,720 --> 00:36:21,637
Are you sure?

948
00:36:22,221 --> 00:36:23,347
Yeah.

949
00:36:24,432 --> 00:36:25,516
I'll make us some coffee.

950
00:36:25,516 --> 00:36:26,809
Okay.

951
00:36:29,270 --> 00:36:30,855
You know,
I just realized something.

952
00:36:30,855 --> 00:36:32,023
Hm.

953
00:36:32,023 --> 00:36:34,650
Today is the anniversary
of our first date.

954
00:36:35,651 --> 00:36:37,862
That was not a date.

955
00:36:37,862 --> 00:36:41,490
Christmas Eve,
17... 17 years ago.

956
00:36:41,490 --> 00:36:43,242
That was absolutely not a date.

957
00:36:43,242 --> 00:36:44,535
There was candlelight.
There was food.

958
00:36:44,535 --> 00:36:45,953
I call it a date.

959
00:36:46,871 --> 00:36:49,790
Okay. Can we just concentrate
on what we're doing?

960
00:36:50,625 --> 00:36:51,667
Yeah.

961
00:36:55,213 --> 00:36:57,006
Look, I was sorry
to hear about your divorce.

962
00:36:57,882 --> 00:36:59,175
How did you--

963
00:36:59,175 --> 00:37:01,093
Oh. Beth.

964
00:37:01,677 --> 00:37:03,221
No, no, she
didn't say anything.

965
00:37:03,221 --> 00:37:05,014
It's just, uh...

966
00:37:05,014 --> 00:37:08,142
it's not a big city and with,
you know, social media.

967
00:37:08,142 --> 00:37:10,102
It's hard to not
keep up with someone.

968
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:12,939
You kept up with me?

969
00:37:12,939 --> 00:37:14,482
Sure.

970
00:37:14,482 --> 00:37:15,983
Didn't you keep up with me?

971
00:37:15,983 --> 00:37:17,276
No.

972
00:37:17,276 --> 00:37:18,527
What I...

973
00:37:19,487 --> 00:37:20,529
No comment.

974
00:37:24,408 --> 00:37:25,743
How are you, though?

975
00:37:26,661 --> 00:37:29,121
You know, the end of a marriage
is never easy.

976
00:37:29,121 --> 00:37:33,167
No, it wasn't at first,
but, you know, we, uh.

977
00:37:33,709 --> 00:37:36,796
we figured it out,
and now we're just...

978
00:37:36,796 --> 00:37:38,297
Friends?

979
00:37:38,297 --> 00:37:42,843
Well, I don't invite him
over for coffee and pinnacle,

980
00:37:42,843 --> 00:37:45,179
but something like that.

981
00:37:45,179 --> 00:37:46,555
That's good.

982
00:37:47,390 --> 00:37:50,142
Yeah. I, uh, never got married.

983
00:37:50,142 --> 00:37:51,560
I know.

984
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:55,815
I mean, I... I don't know

985
00:37:55,815 --> 00:37:58,234
because I didn't keep up
with you.

986
00:38:00,736 --> 00:38:03,406
Yeah, I think we're
going to need more ornaments.

987
00:38:03,406 --> 00:38:04,865
There's some in the basement.

988
00:38:04,865 --> 00:38:06,659
- Okay, I'll give you a hand.
- Okay.

989
00:38:08,995 --> 00:38:10,746
Oh! Found some.

990
00:38:12,331 --> 00:38:13,457
These are nice.

991
00:38:13,457 --> 00:38:15,418
Why don't you have these
on your own tree?

992
00:38:16,002 --> 00:38:18,587
Those ornaments I got
when I was married.

993
00:38:19,171 --> 00:38:19,922
Oh.

994
00:38:19,922 --> 00:38:21,632
I just... I wanted my own.

995
00:38:22,717 --> 00:38:24,135
So for everything
there's a season.

996
00:38:24,135 --> 00:38:25,886
Time to seek,
time to lose.

997
00:38:25,886 --> 00:38:27,888
A time to keep and a time
to throw away.

998
00:38:27,888 --> 00:38:30,099
Did you just quote Footloose?

999
00:38:30,725 --> 00:38:33,644
Ecclesiastes. Same
chapter, different verse.

1000
00:38:33,644 --> 00:38:34,478
Ah.

1001
00:38:34,478 --> 00:38:35,313
Mm.

1002
00:38:36,647 --> 00:38:39,025
Okay. I have to ask,

1003
00:38:40,109 --> 00:38:42,361
what made you become a pastor?

1004
00:38:42,361 --> 00:38:43,571
Hey, when we were kids,
you got--

1005
00:38:43,571 --> 00:38:44,697
into a lot of trouble.

1006
00:38:44,697 --> 00:38:46,073
- Yeah.
- Yeah.

1007
00:38:46,073 --> 00:38:48,159
Are you trying to make
up for past transgressions?

1008
00:38:48,159 --> 00:38:50,036
No.
No, it's nothing like that.

1009
00:38:50,036 --> 00:38:52,329
And it wasn't some
higher calling.

1010
00:38:52,329 --> 00:38:53,789
It was, uh...

1011
00:38:55,249 --> 00:38:57,209
It was actually Christmas.

1012
00:38:57,209 --> 00:38:59,253
Santa Claus told you to.

1013
00:38:59,253 --> 00:39:00,880
You know, you're still funny.

1014
00:39:01,756 --> 00:39:03,090
That was my freshman year.

1015
00:39:03,090 --> 00:39:06,635
My roommate took me to
Christmas Eve service and--

1016
00:39:09,263 --> 00:39:10,514
It moved me.

1017
00:39:11,140 --> 00:39:12,224
You know, I felt something.

1018
00:39:12,224 --> 00:39:13,768
And the more I thought
about it,

1019
00:39:13,768 --> 00:39:15,269
the more I thought that
I wanted to help people

1020
00:39:15,269 --> 00:39:16,187
feel that way.

1021
00:39:16,187 --> 00:39:17,438
Hm.

1022
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,442
You know, I'm glad
you're still doing theater.

1023
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,945
You loved it when we were kids.

1024
00:39:24,945 --> 00:39:26,155
Yeah. There's nothing better

1025
00:39:26,155 --> 00:39:27,782
than being in a room full
of people,

1026
00:39:27,782 --> 00:39:31,035
hearing them laugh
or applaud

1027
00:39:31,035 --> 00:39:32,912
for something you had
your hand in creating.

1028
00:39:33,662 --> 00:39:35,122
You should come to the church.

1029
00:39:35,122 --> 00:39:37,375
You know, we do theater
from time to time.

1030
00:39:37,375 --> 00:39:39,752
I'm guessing with fewer
sparkly costumes.

1031
00:39:39,752 --> 00:39:41,921
Apparently, you've never
been to Pinewood Episcopal.

1032
00:39:42,421 --> 00:39:47,009
Uh, I'm not exactly what
you might call religious.

1033
00:39:47,009 --> 00:39:48,427
It's okay.

1034
00:39:48,427 --> 00:39:50,888
A lot of our congregation
comes from the community.

1035
00:39:50,888 --> 00:39:54,725
The fellowship with the food.
We have a great potluck.

1036
00:39:54,725 --> 00:39:55,893
- Really?
- Yeah.

1037
00:39:56,727 --> 00:39:58,062
Well, I'll keep that in mind.

1038
00:39:58,062 --> 00:39:59,522
You do that.

1039
00:40:02,483 --> 00:40:03,859
[car horn]

1040
00:40:07,363 --> 00:40:09,490
Jessie? Pastor Tim?

1041
00:40:09,490 --> 00:40:10,866
Hey, Beth.

1042
00:40:10,866 --> 00:40:12,284
Where'd you get all this?

1043
00:40:12,284 --> 00:40:13,619
The mall.

1044
00:40:13,619 --> 00:40:15,162
Because it's Christmas Eve
everything was on sale.

1045
00:40:15,162 --> 00:40:16,831
Wow. Is there anything left?

1046
00:40:16,831 --> 00:40:18,249
Yeah, the car's still full.

1047
00:40:18,249 --> 00:40:19,625
No, I meant at the mall.

1048
00:40:20,376 --> 00:40:21,919
Did you get
the cake and the tuxes?

1049
00:40:21,919 --> 00:40:24,171
Yes, but no dress.

1050
00:40:24,171 --> 00:40:26,465
I'm never gonna find one
as perfect as the one I had.

1051
00:40:26,465 --> 00:40:28,425
Well, maybe I'll go down there
and see if anyone's around.

1052
00:40:28,425 --> 00:40:29,844
Play the pastor card.

1053
00:40:29,844 --> 00:40:30,803
Does that work?

1054
00:40:30,803 --> 00:40:31,804
Well, you'd be amazed.

1055
00:40:31,804 --> 00:40:33,472
I hardly ever pay
for appetizers.

1056
00:40:33,472 --> 00:40:34,431
Really?

1057
00:40:34,431 --> 00:40:35,766
No.

1058
00:40:35,766 --> 00:40:38,644
Oh, that's too bad.
I love appetizers.

1059
00:40:38,644 --> 00:40:39,979
If I can't talk my way in,

1060
00:40:39,979 --> 00:40:42,106
I've got a few other tricks
up my sleeve.

1061
00:40:42,106 --> 00:40:43,732
Right, Jessie?

1062
00:40:45,401 --> 00:40:46,485
No.

1063
00:40:52,158 --> 00:40:53,617
...appreciate it.

1064
00:40:58,038 --> 00:40:59,206
Okay, so here's the deal.

1065
00:41:00,291 --> 00:41:02,168
Wait, you still drink
Shirley Temples?

1066
00:41:02,168 --> 00:41:03,419
I do.

1067
00:41:03,419 --> 00:41:05,504
When I have a last-minute
wedding extravaganza

1068
00:41:05,504 --> 00:41:08,549
to put together at my house
on Christmas Eve.

1069
00:41:08,549 --> 00:41:10,092
It's fair enough.

1070
00:41:10,092 --> 00:41:11,343
So I talked to Carl,
the owner.

1071
00:41:11,343 --> 00:41:13,012
Wait, isn't this Julian's?

1072
00:41:13,012 --> 00:41:14,054
Yeah.

1073
00:41:14,054 --> 00:41:15,598
But it's owned
by a guy named Carl.

1074
00:41:15,598 --> 00:41:16,724
Yes.

1075
00:41:16,724 --> 00:41:19,393
So why isn't it just Carl's?

1076
00:41:19,393 --> 00:41:20,936
I don't know,
what does it matter?

1077
00:41:21,604 --> 00:41:23,564
Because it's going to bug me.

1078
00:41:25,399 --> 00:41:27,818
Julian is the original
owner from the 1950s.

1079
00:41:27,818 --> 00:41:29,445
Carl is nice,
but a little cheap.

1080
00:41:29,445 --> 00:41:30,988
Didn't want to change the sign.

1081
00:41:30,988 --> 00:41:32,948
Oh. Thank you.

1082
00:41:32,948 --> 00:41:33,741
You're welcome.

1083
00:41:33,741 --> 00:41:34,992
Okay, so Carl said.

1084
00:41:34,992 --> 00:41:36,869
So Carl said that
he caters a lot of events

1085
00:41:36,869 --> 00:41:38,412
in the hall next door.

1086
00:41:38,412 --> 00:41:41,165
Sometimes he needs to get in
and the owners aren't around.

1087
00:41:42,750 --> 00:41:45,794
Oh, I don't like
where this is going.

1088
00:41:51,550 --> 00:41:54,929
[cheerful music]

1089
00:41:56,138 --> 00:41:57,556
- Hey, Grandpa.
- Hey.

1090
00:41:57,556 --> 00:41:59,767
what's best Christmas
present you ever got?

1091
00:41:59,767 --> 00:42:00,851
Why?

1092
00:42:00,851 --> 00:42:02,186
It's for the time capsule.

1093
00:42:02,186 --> 00:42:03,854
We have to answer all these
Christmas questions

1094
00:42:03,854 --> 00:42:05,022
and put it inside

1095
00:42:05,022 --> 00:42:06,732
so we can remember
them when we open it.

1096
00:42:06,732 --> 00:42:09,026
One of them is, what's
the best present you ever got?

1097
00:42:09,026 --> 00:42:11,237
How many times do
I have to answer this?

1098
00:42:11,237 --> 00:42:12,112
Money?

1099
00:42:12,112 --> 00:42:13,697
No. A real present.

1100
00:42:13,697 --> 00:42:17,243
Didn't you ever get a new toy?
Like a train or a pogo stick?

1101
00:42:17,243 --> 00:42:19,828
No. My father believed

1102
00:42:19,828 --> 00:42:22,248
that you should get things
you needed at Christmas.

1103
00:42:22,248 --> 00:42:24,458
Useful things like shoes.

1104
00:42:24,458 --> 00:42:26,126
You got shoes for Christmas?

1105
00:42:26,126 --> 00:42:27,294
If I was lucky.

1106
00:42:27,294 --> 00:42:29,505
You ever got anything
just for fun.

1107
00:42:31,173 --> 00:42:32,341
There was one year

1108
00:42:32,341 --> 00:42:34,718
when my mother took
some of her mad money.

1109
00:42:34,718 --> 00:42:38,138
And she bought me and
my sister a zoetrope.

1110
00:42:39,139 --> 00:42:39,932
What's that?

1111
00:42:39,932 --> 00:42:41,475
Ah...

1112
00:42:41,475 --> 00:42:45,020
A zoetrope, it's a thing.
It's shaped like a like a bowl.

1113
00:42:45,020 --> 00:42:47,106
And it's got pictures inside.

1114
00:42:47,106 --> 00:42:50,818
And when you spun it,
the pictures moved.

1115
00:42:50,818 --> 00:42:51,986
Like watching a movie.

1116
00:42:51,986 --> 00:42:53,070
Yeah. Sort of.

1117
00:42:54,238 --> 00:42:56,282
This one had the Santa
and his reindeer.

1118
00:42:56,282 --> 00:42:58,200
And when you got it going,

1119
00:42:59,076 --> 00:43:01,453
it just looked like
they were flying.

1120
00:43:01,453 --> 00:43:03,747
[laughs] That does sound neato.

1121
00:43:03,747 --> 00:43:05,124
Oh. It was.

1122
00:43:06,500 --> 00:43:09,461
I didn't understand
how it worked at first,

1123
00:43:09,461 --> 00:43:11,922
but when I figured it out,

1124
00:43:11,922 --> 00:43:14,216
I put one together myself.

1125
00:43:15,884 --> 00:43:18,262
That might have been the
first thing I ever built.

1126
00:43:19,138 --> 00:43:22,224
So it was the best Christmas
present you ever got?

1127
00:43:22,850 --> 00:43:24,685
I'd say so.

1128
00:43:24,685 --> 00:43:26,061
No. What about you?

1129
00:43:26,061 --> 00:43:27,521
Mm. It's hard to pick,

1130
00:43:27,521 --> 00:43:29,648
but I do like getting
those cards

1131
00:43:29,648 --> 00:43:31,942
from you every year
with a $5 bill inside.

1132
00:43:33,319 --> 00:43:35,237
That's my boy.

1133
00:43:36,780 --> 00:43:38,240
Okay. He'll be there
in an hour.

1134
00:43:38,240 --> 00:43:39,575
Just stay warm

1135
00:43:39,575 --> 00:43:41,660
and we'll talk about it
after the Christmas break.

1136
00:43:41,660 --> 00:43:43,037
Okay. Merry Christmas.

1137
00:43:43,787 --> 00:43:45,414
So Triple A is on the way,

1138
00:43:45,414 --> 00:43:47,041
but there are a lot of cars
stuck in the snow,

1139
00:43:47,041 --> 00:43:48,667
so it could be another
couple of hours.

1140
00:43:48,667 --> 00:43:50,544
Well, that's all right.
That gives us a chance to eat.

1141
00:43:50,544 --> 00:43:52,421
Here. Stir that.

1142
00:43:53,005 --> 00:43:54,423
Yep.

1143
00:43:54,423 --> 00:43:56,216
Oh, Did you talk
to the kids at school?

1144
00:43:56,216 --> 00:43:59,094
I did, the power went out,
but they seem fine.

1145
00:43:59,094 --> 00:44:00,304
Why did they break in?

1146
00:44:00,304 --> 00:44:01,889
You know, I don't have
the whole story yet,

1147
00:44:01,889 --> 00:44:05,392
but something about a Christmas
present and a wooden reindeer.

1148
00:44:05,392 --> 00:44:07,227
Is the reindeer
the Christmas present,

1149
00:44:07,227 --> 00:44:08,687
or is that a different deal?

1150
00:44:08,687 --> 00:44:10,022
Unclear.

1151
00:44:10,022 --> 00:44:12,066
At least I'll have
a disastrous Christmas story

1152
00:44:12,066 --> 00:44:14,360
to tell their grandkids.
I know I do.

1153
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:15,944
Oh, can't wait to hear this.

1154
00:44:16,820 --> 00:44:18,113
So, do you remember

1155
00:44:18,113 --> 00:44:21,075
the Tommy Saunders Variety
Hour back in the '60s?

1156
00:44:21,075 --> 00:44:22,701
Sure. He was amazing.

1157
00:44:22,701 --> 00:44:25,079
Well, every year they were
broadcast live on Christmas Eve

1158
00:44:25,079 --> 00:44:26,372
from somebody's living room.

1159
00:44:26,372 --> 00:44:28,082
But it was a big secret
so they wouldn't have

1160
00:44:28,082 --> 00:44:29,583
a million people out
on the lawn, right?

1161
00:44:29,583 --> 00:44:30,584
Makes sense.

1162
00:44:30,584 --> 00:44:32,086
Well, I just started
dating my wife.

1163
00:44:32,086 --> 00:44:33,504
She loved the show,

1164
00:44:33,504 --> 00:44:35,381
so I thought I would
find out where they were

1165
00:44:35,381 --> 00:44:37,549
and then take her there as
a big Christmas surprise.

1166
00:44:37,549 --> 00:44:39,009
Smooth.

1167
00:44:39,009 --> 00:44:40,052
So I was doing apprentice work
at the electric company,

1168
00:44:40,052 --> 00:44:41,303
so I thought I could
figure it out

1169
00:44:41,303 --> 00:44:43,555
by just looking for unusually
high consumption

1170
00:44:43,555 --> 00:44:44,973
in a residential neighborhood.

1171
00:44:44,973 --> 00:44:46,433
Well, to make a long
story short,

1172
00:44:46,433 --> 00:44:48,268
I ended up blacking out
half the city.

1173
00:44:48,268 --> 00:44:50,938
No, you caused
the power outage?

1174
00:44:50,938 --> 00:44:52,981
My friend Daisy
told me about that.

1175
00:44:52,981 --> 00:44:55,150
Yep. Well, you remember
what it was like

1176
00:44:55,150 --> 00:44:56,819
to be young and in love?

1177
00:44:57,695 --> 00:44:58,946
I do.

1178
00:45:01,865 --> 00:45:03,492
Almost there.

1179
00:45:05,119 --> 00:45:06,370
Just like old times, huh?

1180
00:45:06,370 --> 00:45:07,579
We shouldn't be doing this.

1181
00:45:07,579 --> 00:45:08,706
Carl said it's fine.

1182
00:45:08,706 --> 00:45:10,958
Oh, well, if Carl said...

1183
00:45:10,958 --> 00:45:12,793
It's breaking and entering.

1184
00:45:12,793 --> 00:45:14,962
Oh, the window's open.
It's not breaking.

1185
00:45:14,962 --> 00:45:16,255
it's just entering.

1186
00:45:17,423 --> 00:45:18,549
You're a pastor.

1187
00:45:18,549 --> 00:45:20,467
Isn't there a commandment
about this?

1188
00:45:20,467 --> 00:45:22,469
Yeah, there's one about
stealing, which we're not.

1189
00:45:22,469 --> 00:45:23,804
We're retrieving
a wedding dress

1190
00:45:23,804 --> 00:45:25,639
that happens
to belong to your sister.

1191
00:45:25,639 --> 00:45:27,724
When did you become such
a stickler for the rules?

1192
00:45:27,724 --> 00:45:31,103
I am not a stickler.
I break rules all the time.

1193
00:45:31,103 --> 00:45:32,229
- Really?
- Yeah.

1194
00:45:32,229 --> 00:45:34,440
Really. Okay, um,
give me an example.

1195
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:36,066
Okay.

1196
00:45:36,066 --> 00:45:37,776
I, uh...

1197
00:45:37,776 --> 00:45:40,237
Well, last week, I was baking
Christmas cookies,

1198
00:45:40,237 --> 00:45:43,323
and the recipe called
for one teaspoon of vanilla,

1199
00:45:43,323 --> 00:45:45,409
but I put in two.

1200
00:45:45,409 --> 00:45:46,452
Wow.

1201
00:45:46,452 --> 00:45:49,455
Yeah. You're a...
you're a rebel.

1202
00:45:51,498 --> 00:45:53,125
Can we do this?
It's freezing out.

1203
00:45:53,125 --> 00:45:54,293
Okay, but wait, wait.

1204
00:45:54,293 --> 00:45:56,503
What if somebody sees us
and calls the cops?

1205
00:45:56,503 --> 00:45:59,047
I'd never do anything to
put you in jeopardy, Jessie.

1206
00:45:59,047 --> 00:46:00,257
Ever.

1207
00:46:01,675 --> 00:46:03,510
Fine. But if we get caught,

1208
00:46:03,510 --> 00:46:05,762
I'm gonna say it was all your
idea, and you made me do it.

1209
00:46:05,762 --> 00:46:08,056
- So, just like our first date.
- That wasn't a date.

1210
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:11,560
[grunts]

1211
00:46:16,190 --> 00:46:17,274
Got it.

1212
00:46:17,274 --> 00:46:18,400
All right, it's freezing.

1213
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:20,068
Okay, so this must
be the place.

1214
00:46:20,068 --> 00:46:22,321
Why don't you check over there
and I'll check over here?

1215
00:46:22,321 --> 00:46:23,113
Okay.

1216
00:46:23,113 --> 00:46:24,573
Let's go check it out.

1217
00:46:25,616 --> 00:46:26,825
[exhales]

1218
00:46:31,705 --> 00:46:35,542
Hey, um, may I ask
you a question?

1219
00:46:35,542 --> 00:46:36,919
Yeah. Of course.

1220
00:46:38,629 --> 00:46:40,589
Why did you break up with me?

1221
00:46:41,590 --> 00:46:44,051
Uh, I didn't.

1222
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,012
Yeah. You did.

1223
00:46:47,012 --> 00:46:49,473
No. You broke up with me.

1224
00:46:50,182 --> 00:46:52,309
I absolutely did not.

1225
00:46:52,309 --> 00:46:54,061
I remember it like it
was yesterday.

1226
00:46:54,061 --> 00:46:56,104
It was our high school
graduation.

1227
00:46:56,104 --> 00:46:57,439
We were out in
the football field.

1228
00:46:57,439 --> 00:46:59,274
Lisa Turner was wearing
those glasses

1229
00:46:59,274 --> 00:47:00,984
that said class of 2000.

1230
00:47:00,984 --> 00:47:05,405
Which totally isn't important,
but it just popped in my head.

1231
00:47:05,405 --> 00:47:09,243
Anyway, you came up to me right
before we got our diplomas

1232
00:47:09,243 --> 00:47:12,371
and you said, Jessie,
we're through.

1233
00:47:12,371 --> 00:47:14,373
And then you just
you walked away

1234
00:47:14,373 --> 00:47:16,542
and you never spoke
to me again.

1235
00:47:16,959 --> 00:47:18,126
Yes. That all happened.

1236
00:47:18,126 --> 00:47:19,586
I mean, the whole Lisa Turner
glasses thing,

1237
00:47:19,586 --> 00:47:21,588
I don't remember, but
I'll take your word for it.

1238
00:47:21,588 --> 00:47:25,050
Okay, then. So, ergo, ipso
facto, you broke up with me.

1239
00:47:25,050 --> 00:47:27,511
No. You broke up
with me the day before.

1240
00:47:27,511 --> 00:47:29,263
What?
No, I didn't.

1241
00:47:29,263 --> 00:47:30,138
Yes, you did.

1242
00:47:30,138 --> 00:47:31,640
Jeremy Tate's graduation party.

1243
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:33,350
Him and David Chin
were throwing people

1244
00:47:33,350 --> 00:47:35,227
into his father's pool
and you were annoyed.

1245
00:47:35,227 --> 00:47:38,480
There was a sign right
there saying no horseplay.

1246
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:40,148
There's the stickler.

1247
00:47:40,482 --> 00:47:43,110
Anyway, you came up to me
and you said,

1248
00:47:43,110 --> 00:47:46,446
Tim, I've decided to take
the offer to do theater at NYU.

1249
00:47:46,446 --> 00:47:47,823
You know, we both agreed

1250
00:47:47,823 --> 00:47:49,741
that we were going to go
to Oregon State together.

1251
00:47:49,741 --> 00:47:52,869
And you took that to mean that
I was breaking up with you.

1252
00:47:52,869 --> 00:47:54,246
You were going to college
across the country

1253
00:47:54,246 --> 00:47:55,831
how am I supposed
to take that?

1254
00:47:56,164 --> 00:47:58,792
I was willing to try
the long distance.

1255
00:47:58,792 --> 00:47:59,918
I told you that.

1256
00:47:59,918 --> 00:48:01,461
And I told you that
it doesn't work.

1257
00:48:01,461 --> 00:48:03,672
Ergo, ipso facto,
you going to NYU

1258
00:48:03,672 --> 00:48:04,673
was breaking up with me.

1259
00:48:04,673 --> 00:48:06,049
No, I never said that.

1260
00:48:06,049 --> 00:48:08,385
I said that we should...
we should think about it,

1261
00:48:08,385 --> 00:48:10,095
and then we could
figure it out.

1262
00:48:10,095 --> 00:48:11,972
But then the next day
at graduation,

1263
00:48:11,972 --> 00:48:13,640
you said that we were through.

1264
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:15,017
Jessie, I was hurt,

1265
00:48:15,809 --> 00:48:18,186
and I was being a little petty.

1266
00:48:19,354 --> 00:48:20,981
But I thought once
you thought about it

1267
00:48:20,981 --> 00:48:23,150
that you would realize
that it wasn't going to work.

1268
00:48:23,150 --> 00:48:25,027
And I didn't want you to...

1269
00:48:25,986 --> 00:48:27,696
I didn't want you to say
it first.

1270
00:48:28,238 --> 00:48:30,449
Why didn't you just talk to me?

1271
00:48:31,658 --> 00:48:33,452
You broke my heart, Jessie.

1272
00:48:36,914 --> 00:48:38,790
You broke mine, too.

1273
00:48:44,922 --> 00:48:47,341
Oh, I found the dress.

1274
00:49:08,070 --> 00:49:10,113
Oh, that was delicious.

1275
00:49:10,113 --> 00:49:11,990
Well, it's not my usual
Christmas Eve spread,

1276
00:49:11,990 --> 00:49:13,533
but it turned out all right.

1277
00:49:13,533 --> 00:49:16,161
Compared to most holiday meals
I've had, this was a feast.

1278
00:49:16,161 --> 00:49:18,747
I remember one year Melanie
was on a ski trip

1279
00:49:18,747 --> 00:49:20,040
with some college friends,

1280
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:21,458
and it was just my wife
and me.

1281
00:49:21,458 --> 00:49:23,710
So we decided to go small.
You know, keep it simple.

1282
00:49:23,710 --> 00:49:25,545
Oh, that's never a good idea.

1283
00:49:25,545 --> 00:49:27,047
Well, I know that now.

1284
00:49:27,047 --> 00:49:28,799
We both thought the other
was going to go food shopping.

1285
00:49:28,799 --> 00:49:31,760
We got up Christmas morning
with absolutely nothing to eat.

1286
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:33,637
I mean, the cupboards
were bare.

1287
00:49:33,637 --> 00:49:35,013
Oh, what'd you do?

1288
00:49:35,013 --> 00:49:36,932
Well, you know, all the stores
were closed

1289
00:49:36,932 --> 00:49:39,434
and all the good restaurants
that were open were booked.

1290
00:49:39,434 --> 00:49:41,520
So we drove around
for about an hour

1291
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:44,272
and found a little diner
that had a Santa Claus cutout

1292
00:49:44,272 --> 00:49:46,066
in the window and
a lot of empty tables.

1293
00:49:46,066 --> 00:49:47,275
Let me guess,
there's a reason

1294
00:49:47,275 --> 00:49:48,735
there were so many
empty tables.

1295
00:49:48,735 --> 00:49:51,780
Worst meal I ever had
in my life.

1296
00:49:51,780 --> 00:49:54,074
But at least we got
a good story to tell.

1297
00:49:54,074 --> 00:49:55,325
I love a good story,

1298
00:49:55,325 --> 00:49:57,035
especially when it has
to do with Christmas.

1299
00:49:57,869 --> 00:49:59,287
Yeah, so do I.

1300
00:50:00,414 --> 00:50:02,541
I think this might
make another one.

1301
00:50:02,541 --> 00:50:04,918
Yeah. Yeah, I wish I had some
dessert to offer you,

1302
00:50:04,918 --> 00:50:07,713
but I was going to make a pie
for the kids tomorrow.

1303
00:50:07,713 --> 00:50:09,881
Well, I'm not taking
your kids Christmas pie.

1304
00:50:09,881 --> 00:50:11,174
I saw you had
some marshmallows.

1305
00:50:11,174 --> 00:50:12,718
You want to roast them?

1306
00:50:12,718 --> 00:50:15,554
Uh, sure.
Fireplace is right there.

1307
00:50:15,554 --> 00:50:17,431
You can't roast marshmallows
in a fireplace.

1308
00:50:17,431 --> 00:50:19,850
You got to be outside
with a big roaring fire.

1309
00:50:19,850 --> 00:50:22,102
Well, there is a fire
pit outside.

1310
00:50:22,102 --> 00:50:25,021
It's freezing and snowing, but.

1311
00:50:25,021 --> 00:50:26,857
That's what the fire's for.

1312
00:50:26,857 --> 00:50:28,066
[both laugh]

1313
00:50:28,066 --> 00:50:29,901
Come on, don't you think
this Christmas story

1314
00:50:29,901 --> 00:50:31,361
needs one more chapter?

1315
00:50:32,988 --> 00:50:36,283
So you've now heard two of my
disastrous Christmas stories.

1316
00:50:36,283 --> 00:50:37,951
I think it's your turn.

1317
00:50:37,951 --> 00:50:40,287
Uh, I don't think I have one.

1318
00:50:40,287 --> 00:50:41,788
Oh, come on,
you have to have one.

1319
00:50:41,788 --> 00:50:43,832
Some Christmas gone
horribly wrong.

1320
00:50:43,832 --> 00:50:46,126
You've never even burnt
the Christmas cookies.

1321
00:50:46,126 --> 00:50:50,172
Oh. When Winnie was six,
she tried to make them

1322
00:50:50,172 --> 00:50:52,758
and she burnt them
beyond recognition.

1323
00:50:52,758 --> 00:50:54,301
[chuckles] What'd you do?

1324
00:50:54,301 --> 00:50:55,427
I ate them all.

1325
00:50:55,427 --> 00:50:56,762
[laughs]

1326
00:50:56,762 --> 00:50:58,013
And I told them that
I loved my cookies burnt.

1327
00:50:58,013 --> 00:50:59,598
Ever since then, she--

1328
00:50:59,598 --> 00:51:00,932
She's only made
you burn cookies.

1329
00:51:00,932 --> 00:51:01,725
Yeah.

1330
00:51:01,725 --> 00:51:03,143
To this day.

1331
00:51:03,602 --> 00:51:06,396
Well, disaster averted.
What about gifts?

1332
00:51:06,396 --> 00:51:08,523
Did you ever forget
to buy for somebody?

1333
00:51:09,065 --> 00:51:10,567
Uh... Oh.

1334
00:51:10,567 --> 00:51:13,612
When Conrad was nine,
all he wanted for Christmas

1335
00:51:13,612 --> 00:51:15,363
was a new baseball glove.

1336
00:51:15,363 --> 00:51:19,326
So Greg bought it for him,
and then he forgot it at work.

1337
00:51:19,326 --> 00:51:21,495
And we didn't figure it out
until Christmas morning

1338
00:51:21,495 --> 00:51:23,038
when we were
opening presents.

1339
00:51:23,038 --> 00:51:24,831
Conrad must have
been devastated.

1340
00:51:24,831 --> 00:51:27,459
Oh, that was definitely
a tantrum brewing.

1341
00:51:27,459 --> 00:51:29,711
So I came up with a wild
scavenger hunt

1342
00:51:29,711 --> 00:51:32,005
and told them that
there was one more gift.

1343
00:51:32,005 --> 00:51:33,423
He solved all of the clues,

1344
00:51:33,423 --> 00:51:35,884
and then him and his dad
drove to the station

1345
00:51:35,884 --> 00:51:37,094
and found the glove.

1346
00:51:37,094 --> 00:51:37,969
Ah.

1347
00:51:37,969 --> 00:51:39,971
Sorry, I don't really have

1348
00:51:39,971 --> 00:51:41,473
any disastrous
Christmas stories.

1349
00:51:41,473 --> 00:51:43,350
I guess I've just been lucky.

1350
00:51:44,559 --> 00:51:46,645
Sounds like it's your
family that's been lucky.

1351
00:51:47,813 --> 00:51:50,273
Thank you.
I hope so.

1352
00:51:50,273 --> 00:51:51,858
Christmas means the world
to them.

1353
00:51:52,567 --> 00:51:54,569
And your kids mean
the world to you?

1354
00:51:54,569 --> 00:51:55,904
Exactly.

1355
00:51:56,863 --> 00:51:58,198
I wish they were here.

1356
00:51:58,198 --> 00:52:01,201
It's not the same without burnt
Christmas cookies.

1357
00:52:01,201 --> 00:52:02,244
Oh.

1358
00:52:03,703 --> 00:52:05,831
I hope you like your
marshmallows burnt, too.

1359
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:11,878
Is that the wedding dress?

1360
00:52:11,878 --> 00:52:14,089
- Yeah.
- Oh!

1361
00:52:15,757 --> 00:52:17,217
Thank you so much.

1362
00:52:17,217 --> 00:52:18,552
Holly, Christmas.

1363
00:52:19,261 --> 00:52:20,428
Isn't it amazing?

1364
00:52:20,428 --> 00:52:22,722
Beth, where in the world
did you get a tent?

1365
00:52:22,722 --> 00:52:24,391
Harvey's Tent
Party supplies.

1366
00:52:24,391 --> 00:52:26,351
Why? Where'd you get yours?

1367
00:52:27,644 --> 00:52:32,399
I'm sorry.
Um, I think I need to, uh.

1368
00:52:32,399 --> 00:52:36,695
I need to go inside.
Um... excuse me.

1369
00:52:47,831 --> 00:52:49,457
[humming]

1370
00:52:49,457 --> 00:52:51,042
Need any help?

1371
00:52:51,042 --> 00:52:54,170
He asked after all the
hard work is already done.

1372
00:52:54,170 --> 00:52:56,423
Well, you married me,
you knew what you were getting.

1373
00:52:57,257 --> 00:52:58,800
How is it going in there?

1374
00:53:00,093 --> 00:53:01,177
Quietly.

1375
00:53:02,679 --> 00:53:06,016
He hasn't said much since
the incident in the basement.

1376
00:53:06,016 --> 00:53:07,517
You have no idea

1377
00:53:07,517 --> 00:53:09,477
why he's so upset
about your mother's clock.

1378
00:53:09,477 --> 00:53:11,062
He hated that clock.

1379
00:53:11,062 --> 00:53:13,648
He used to try
to hide it every year.

1380
00:53:13,648 --> 00:53:16,902
But my father not talking
for an extended period of time

1381
00:53:16,902 --> 00:53:18,778
is something I'm choosing
to view

1382
00:53:18,778 --> 00:53:20,989
as a Christmas miracle.

1383
00:53:21,698 --> 00:53:24,910
Eli, you can't let this go on.

1384
00:53:24,910 --> 00:53:26,244
Sure I can.

1385
00:53:26,786 --> 00:53:30,332
Okay, then I can't
let this go on.

1386
00:53:30,332 --> 00:53:31,750
It's Christmas.

1387
00:53:31,750 --> 00:53:34,294
Don't you want to have a
nice time with your father?

1388
00:53:34,294 --> 00:53:35,462
Well, of course I do.

1389
00:53:35,462 --> 00:53:37,380
But I don't know
how to do that.

1390
00:53:37,380 --> 00:53:38,423
Do you?

1391
00:53:38,423 --> 00:53:41,718
Not yet, but I'm working
on it.

1392
00:53:42,302 --> 00:53:43,428
That's not your job.

1393
00:53:43,428 --> 00:53:45,263
It has to be someone's.

1394
00:53:45,263 --> 00:53:46,348
[Alex] Dad, will you
take pictures

1395
00:53:46,348 --> 00:53:47,933
of what we're putting
in the capsule?

1396
00:53:47,933 --> 00:53:50,143
Yes. I'm coming right now.

1397
00:53:50,143 --> 00:53:52,729
Stay right there.
You're beautiful.

1398
00:53:55,523 --> 00:53:57,359
Here I come.
Okay, let's see what we got.

1399
00:53:57,359 --> 00:53:58,985

I thought you were gonna
get a plumber to do that.

1826
01:15:47,501 --> 01:15:50,045
I changed my mind.
It was a tree root.

1827
01:15:50,045 --> 01:15:51,588
And the only reason
the root hit the pipe

1828
01:15:51,588 --> 01:15:53,507
was because it couldn't
go where it wanted to.

1829

Wait, what stops
the tree root?

1830

They say those

are doomed to repeat it.

1921
01:21:00,605 --> 01:21:02,148
Well, that's very true.

1922
01:21:02,148 --> 01:21:06,820
So we should probably both
just say what needs to be said.

All right. You know, Nelson,
you've already done so much.

1931
01:21:32,220 --> 01:21:35,640
Why don't you just come
back and fix it yourself?

Are you sure?

I'm sure.

01:21:39,477 --> 01:21:42,606
Okay, well, I'll see you
in a couple of days.

I'm not quite ready for
this Christmas story to end.

Why don't you ask me out?

Regina, would you like
to go out on a date?

1941
01:22:06,713 --> 01:22:08,048
I would.

1942
01:22:08,757 --> 01:22:11,593
Mm. You know, just to clarify.

1943
01:22:11,593 --> 01:22:13,845
Me coming back in a few days
to deal with your pipes.

1944
01:22:13,845 --> 01:22:15,764
That doesn't count,
because that's work.

1945
01:22:15,764 --> 01:22:16,973
Correct.

1946
01:22:16,973 --> 01:22:20,352
And technically,
you didn't pay me for today,

1947
01:22:20,352 --> 01:22:23,730
so maybe we already had
our first date.

1948
01:22:23,730 --> 01:22:25,607
Maybe we did.

1949
01:22:26,816 --> 01:22:29,361
Well, then maybe I should
kiss you good night.

1950
01:22:29,361 --> 01:22:30,987
Maybe you should.
