(upbeat music)

- He's expecting me.

- I closed the deal
for Snow Valley Lodge.

- That's great.

Congratulations.

- I want you to go up there

and take a look.

It's just a Mom and Pop
operation right now,

but it's a great location
and we're gonna turn it

into the first Falcon
Winter Sports Resort.

And I want the
usual demographic.

Adults, 21 to 45, no kids.

We gotta haul this place into
the 21st century quickly.

I want an apres-ski bar,

I want a spa, I
want a nightclub,

I want one of those
snowmobile racing circuits.

You know, like we have
for the go-carts in Cabo.

You've got one week
to recommend to us

how we go about doing all this.

You ski, right?

- No.

- Well, maybe I should send
Bart Johnson from Sales, huh?

- I don't jet-ski
and I don't parasail,

but I put them all together
for Costa Rica, remember?

- Yes. Yes, you did.

Get up there and give it a try.

I will join you on Tuesday.

I've got some financial
business to take care of

with the local
partners in Augusta,

but I can handle that
in the afternoon.

- [Intercom] Peter
Bryant from St. Lucia

returning your call.

- Uh, by the way,

that happens to
be Christmas Eve.

Why don't you and I
grab a Christmas lunch

at the hotel in Augusta,

just the two of us,
like the old days?

- That'd be great, Dad.

- Peter, why did I
send you to St. Lucia?

- He can't send you up there.

It's Christmas week!

- He's the boss.

- He's your father.

- Tell him that at
the quarterly review.

I don't do cold.

- You know what
he's going to do?

He's going to knock it all down

and start from scratch
like he does everywhere.

- I know.

- So can't you do that
from here with Google Maps?

- He likes us to get embedded
in our projects, remember?

- Okay, give him your
pitch on Christmas Eve,

then ditch him and fly home.

Spend Christmas Day with us.

- Oh, I wish I could,

but, yeah, I should
spend it with my father.

Besides, us Becks were never
big on Christmas, anyway.

(sweet music)

- Excuse me, Mom?

- The Donovans are wondering

if they can still
have the room-service

Christmas Day dinner after all?

- Well, that means we're
a plum pudding short.

Of course they can.

I'll just have to
make another one.

- Sally and the
kids just arrived.

- That's great.

Jack and Anna Johnson will
be here in half an hour.

Estonian pirukads.

You're going to love them.

I bake them only
at Christmas time.

- I'll check their cabin next.

- They need two baskets,

and they like the
gingerbread men.

But Anna called and
said he can't have

the chocolate log these days.

- Hello?

Hello! I, I think
I'm losing you.

Hell...

Well, I'll see what I can do.

Hello?

I lost him.

I hate cell phones.

That was someone's
assistant from Falcon.

Why can't people drive
when they're driving,

and call when they're calling?

Why does everybody have
to do two things at once?

Whatever happened to
stop and smell the coffee

and watch the snow fall?

- That's doing two
things at once.

- You know what I mean.

Have we got room in
the lodge for one?

- They're not sending
another executive up here,

not a week before Christmas?

- What could I do?

- Well, you could say no, Dad.

And don't ask me to babysit him.

- Ah, ah! Chocolate logs.

What is this one coming out for?

They bought it already.

- I don't know.

I hardly heard a word
the assistant said.

Something about a report.

Have you seen my glasses?

Ted Beck probably
wants to make sure

he knows exactly what
we do at Christmas,

so that next year he
gets it right without us.

Oh, it'll be okay.

We're just on the other
side of the valley.

We'll come back and
visit all our friends,

but someone else will
do all the hard work.

Don't worry, sweetie.

Nothing's going to change.

Ted gave us his word.

(upbeat music)

(gasping)

- Hey!

- Oh, my.

Did I do that?

I am so sorry.

Are you okay?

- I'm soaked!

- I'm sorry.

- Hey!
- I'm sorry.

- I'll do it.

Do you always drive like that?

- Like what?

- Splashing into puddles
and soaking people.

- Well, no, I didn't
see it, and besides,

you probably shouldn't stand
too close to potholes 'cause

slush happens, right?

- Oh, so now it's my
fault that you soaked me?

- No, I didn't say that,

and I also did just
apologize just now.

- Excuse me, is anybody
from Snow Valley Lodge here?

I'm supposed to have
a car picking me up.

- Andy, did someone just
get off that chopper?

- He's from Snow Valley.

She's from the chopper.

- You're from Falcon?

- Yes.

- Is that all your luggage?

- Yes.

- Okay.

- [Stephanie] Careful!

- You can get in if you like.

- [Stephanie] Oh...

Oh!

- Want me to get that for you?

- [Stephanie] Thank you.

- Hey, Brady!

Supposed to snow up on
the mountain tonight.

You going to catch
the powder tomorrow?

- No, I'm not back
till after Christmas.

- Dude!

- Yeah, I know.

Tell me about it, right?

- Brutal.

- Are you Brady Lewis,
Paul Lewis's son?

- Yup.

- Why didn't you tell me?

- You didn't ask.

- I'm Stephanie Beck.

- Ted Beck's daughter?

- Yes.

- Well, that figures.

- [Paul] Have you
seen the car keys?

- Where are you going?

- To pick up the
executive from Falcon.

I'm 20 minutes late.

- It's okay. I sent Brady.

- Oh, thank goodness.

I sat down for just a minute,

and the next thing you know,

I was asleep for an hour.

Why didn't you wake me?

- We'd better get cleaned
up to greet this executive.

- Why? You look great.

- You never get a second chance
to make a first impression,

and I want everyone
who works for Ted Beck

to realize how lucky they are
we let him buy Snow Valley.

- Here we are.

- Oh!

How can anyone live up here?

- What, you don't you
have winter in Phoenix?

- Winter is when we turn
down the air conditioning

and turn on the
heater in the pool.

- Up here, we have six
months of deep winter,

one month of perfect fall,

five months of mosquitoes
the size of Cessnas.

You're going to
love living here.

- Oh, I have no intention
of living up here.

We'll put in a manager like
we do at all our resorts.

Do you always put up this
many Christmas decorations?

- At Christmas, yes.

- And where's the skiing?

- You want to go skiing?

- No, I don't ski.

I just, I need to
know, that's all.

- Well, we have a shuttle.

It goes up to Blue Mountain.

It's a 30-minute ride.

- Oh, well, we'll need
something closer than that.

- Yeah.

Well, you'll have to move
a mountain to get that.

Dad, this is Stephanie
Beck, Ted Beck's daughter.

- Oh, Stephanie!

I, I'm sorry, I didn't
realize it was you coming.

Merry Christmas!

- Oh, it's nice
to meet you, too.

- Oh. Karla, this
is Stephanie Beck.

This is my wife, Karla.

- Welcome! Merry Christmas!

- Oh, Merry Christmas.

It's certainly a lovely place.

- See why your father bought it?

- Dad, the O'Brians are
going to be here any minute

and I need to check their cabin.

Could you please show
Stephanie to her room?

- Yeah.

- Thank you. Excuse me.

I have things to do.

- You must be hungry.

Can I get you something to eat?

- Oh, no, thank you,
I ate on the plane.

- Oh, piffle.

That's not proper food.

At least try a Spesiur pastry.

They're from Iceland.

I baked them this morning.

- Mmm.

- No, thank you, really.

- You probably
want to freshen up.

- We have a lovely room
for you here in the lodge.

- You'll be close to all

the Christmas
traditional festivities.

- Really, I need to just
get straight to work,

but, um, I do need
one thing from you.

I couldn't find in
what you gave us

about your client demographics?

- Client demographics?

- Your guests.

What are their ages?

Are they couples, singles?

That kind of thing.

- Oh, they're all ages.

Eight months to 80 years.

- And almost all families.

I mean, they
register, of course,

but we don't keep
anything more than that.

- We know almost
everybody who stays here.

I guess we could go
back through the records

and figure it out.

- That would be a big help.

Thank you.

- Oh! Right, right this way.

- She seems nice.

- Mom, why did Falcon send
someone who hates winter

to write a report about
Christmas at Snow Valley?

- Did you two get off
on the wrong foot?

- I don't think she
has a right foot.

Look she's clawing
her way up the ladder

of her father's company,

and I'm sure she'll
write whatever it is

that he wants to read.

- Good, because Ted
said he likes everything

exactly the way it is.

- [Brady] Yeah, right.

- She'd like you to send up a
Caesar salad a little later.

And she needs you to go
back through the records

for the last five years,

check out the ages and sexes,

that sort of stuff,
about the guests.

- Seriously?

- Yeah.

- That'll take me hours.

- I forgot.

I was supposed to send
it to them weeks ago.

- Please?

- Why doesn't Brady get it?

That our guests like our
Christmases the way it is.

What would the Johnsons
and the Bennetts,

the McKays, and everyone do?

- We made the right decision
for the boys and for us.

It's time.

As for the rest, it
will work itself out

the way it's supposed to.

(knocking)

- Come in.

- Your salad.

- [Stephanie] Thank you.

- I put some cranberries in it
to make it more Christmassy.

And I brought you some Brunsli.

They're traditional Christmas
cookies from Switzerland.

Beck is usually a Swiss name,

so I thought maybe your family
came from there originally?

- Oh, I don't know anything
about our family history.

- Well enjoy them anyway.

- Thank you.

- We, um we haven't
told any of our guests

yet about us leaving.

We didn't want to
upset their Christmas.

- I won't say anything.

- Thank you.

- Dad, I can hardly hear you.

The reception's terrible.

No, I, I haven't
taken the tour yet.

I just got here last night.

Yes, I will make sure
I see everything.

Dad, I'm losing you.

Dad?

Memo for report,

get a decent cell phone
relay near the lodge.

- You're new, aren't you?

- Yes, it's my first time here.

- We come every Christmas.

You need to eat the Christmas
oatmeal from Finland.

It's got lingonberries in it.

And that's the Christmas
cinnamon bread from Iceland.

It's the best bread.

Aunty Karla makes it.

- Oh, Karla's your aunt?

- Honorary aunt.

- Do you know what today is?

- Uh, Friday?

- It's the Feast of St. Thomas.

Swiss tradition has
it that on the night

of the Feast of St.
Thomas, a spinster,

that's an unmarried woman.

- Sweetie.

- A spinster can meet her
future husband in her dream.

First she must step on
a stool to get into bed.

Then she must stand on her
bed and take her shoes off.

Then she must spin
around three times.

- [Sally] Nice.

- And throw her
shoes at the door.

Finally, she must
sleep with her feet

on the pillows at
the head of the bed,

and if she follows these
instructions perfectly,

that night, she will dream

of the man she is
destined to marry.

- Wow.

And you do all of this?

- Every year.

It's tradition.

Have a nice breakfast.

- Thanks. You too.

She's adorable.

- Thank you.

She's normally pretty
quiet, but up here?

(chuckling)

Okay, now you have to
try the hot breakfast.

Karla makes this all
fresh from scratch.

Oh. Yeah, I think I'll
stick with the fruit.

- Hmm. Okay.

- Are you coming
tobogganing today?

- Yeah, no, I gotta work.

Sorry, kiddo.

- [Sally] Finally, Karla's food!

- Sally!

Ah, are you starting to chill?

- Oh, you better believe it.

- Hi.

- Good morning.

Oh, I forgot to
ask you last night,

where's the exercise room?

- Out there.

- Okay. I guess we'll
have to build one.

Gym inside so our
guests can stay warm.

Uh, okay, today I need to see
the cross-country ski trails,

the snowshoeing trails,
the sledding run,

the ice skating,
and the ice fishing.

So if we do all that
on a snowmobile,

can we finish by lunch?

- No.

- How long is it going to take?

- I'll see what I can do.

Have a good breakfast.

- No!

We do not allow snowmobiles
on the property.

- Well, she wants to
see it all this morning.

- She won't see what
she needs to see

the way she needs to
see it on a snowmobile.

- It's the 21st century.

- Well, who said the 21st
century has to be full of noise?

She can ski and snowshoe
like everybody else.

- She's never skied.

- Well, you'll
have to teach her.

- She doesn't even
own a snowsuit!

- Well, then you'll have
to find one she can borrow!

- I don't have time
for all of this!

- Our guests come here
for a peaceful Christmas.

They don't need it
wrecked by the blast

of a motorized monstrosity

ripping through it
like a chainsaw!

- I do not ski.

- Well, it's cross-country.

It's a little different.

Plus, it's the only way that
you're going to get a chance

to see all the ski trails.

So, you can walk, right?

- Not on skis!

- Well, it's kind of
like the same thing.

- I do not do winter!

My blood is starting to freeze!

- Well, you'll warm
up once we get moving.

- If I move, I'll fall.

- Here you go. Here.

There.

Okay, well, here, watch me.

Maybe it'll help.

All right, you see how
I lift my heels, huh?

It's kind of like moon walking,
except I'm going forward?

Then if you want to stop,

what you want to do is bring
your ski tips together,

make a wedge shape,

kind of like a piece
of pizza, if you will,

okay and then it's equal
pressure on both legs

and just push out.

That's kind of how you stop.

So give it a try.

There you go.

- Oh!

Oh!

See? I, I can't do this!

- Well, you hardly tried.

It's all right.

Here, I'll help you up.

All right, we'll try again.

Get this ski back on.

All right.

Okay, you know what?

Just get the skis
parallel, okay?

Straighten them out.

Don't worry, I'll help hold you.

There you go.

Okay, let's try
something different.

Don't put one foot in
front of the other,

just keep them where they are.

Okay, both poles.

All you're going to do
is just push straight.

Okay?

Give it a try.

There you go, just
push off those poles.

Keep your hips over your feet.

There you go.

Village yard sale.

That was good.

- Yeah, no, I, I,

I, uh,

I can't do this.

I, uh,

I need a snowmobile.

Look, in three months,

my father can have as many
snowmobiles here as he wants.

- Look, in three months,

my father's not going to
be here, so he won't care.

Watch these kids.

Looking good, Peter.

See, if the little kid
can do it, you can do it.

Come on, try again.

Get those skis parallel.

All right.

Yeah, that's it.

All right.

Now we're cooking.

There you go, you're getting it.

Okay, start doing
the wedge thing.

Watch it.

It's a steep hill, you've
got to point your skis.

(shouting)

The pizza thing!

(screaming)

Watch out for that tree!

- Are you laughing at me?

- No, I wasn't, I promise!

- So how did it go?

That well, huh?

- Yeah.

Are you heading
to the lake lunch?

- Of course.

- Well, then, you can
show her the beach.

- The two of you
are going to have to

spend a lot of time
together this week.

You know, your father
promised Ted Beck

we'd show her everything.

- Yeah, well, if he'd
let me use a snowmobile,

I could show her
everything in an afternoon.

- That's his way.

- Are you looking
for something diet?

- Is there anything?

- Ha ha! I doubt it.

- What you need is nice
big mug of Barszczt.

It's the traditional
Christmas soup in Poland.

- Does everything have
to do with Christmas?

- At Christmas, it does.

Mm-hmm. Oh!

Oh, smell that.

- Ah.

- Dumplings. Mmm.

- So is this where all the
guests swim in the summertime?

- And where we launch
the canoes for fishing.

Here you go.

- Thank you.

And what's that?

- That is an ice-fishing hut.

There's a deep pool there

where some of the best trout
in the lake go in the winter.

- How do you ice fish?

- [Karla] Well--

- Ah, you drill
a hole in the ice

and you drop a hook in it,

and you freeze your
you-know-what off

hoping that some poor
idiot fish takes a bite.

- I'll pass.

- Um, I'm Sally, by the way.

Sally Bennett.

- Stephanie Beck.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- How did the skiing go?

- It went.

- Well, you'll get it.

Brady taught both my kids.

- He's the ski instructor?

- Well, yeah, I guess.

He's the go-to guy for
whatever Karla doesn't cook

and whatever Paul doesn't
really do any longer.

Oh, he's such a good guy.

What? You'll see.

My kids love hanging
out with him.

He's like everyone's
honorary uncle.

Do you have kids?

- Oh, no.

- No Mr. Beck?

- Only my father.

- So where do you
normally spend Christmas?

- Phoenix.

- That home?

Oh! So is this your
first white Christmas?

- Yeah.

- Wow.

Oh, did you ever imagine
anything this cold

could be this beautiful?

- I could never imagine
anything this cold period.

- Yeah, we're from L.A.

Well, we are these
days, and you know what,

I spent one Christmas,
just one, there.

I mean, I have to have,
like, a proper Christmas,

you know, with, like,
a roaring fire inside,

and outside it's,
like, freezing cold

and it's white with
snow everywhere, and...

Have you ever seen it snow?

- No.

- Huh.

Wow. Well, hopefully, you
will before you leave.

Zak!

Those boots need
to be tighter pal.

Excuse me.

- [Karla] How are
your feet feeling?

- Numb.

- You need some
proper winter clothes.

- I'm only here for a few days.

- It doesn't matter if you're
here for only a few hours,

you'll catch your death
if you don't dress right.

Brady will drive
you to the store

at Blue Mountain this afternoon.

- Oh.

- [Karla] Excuse me.

- Here's the guest demographics
that you asked for.

- Oh, thank you.

Oh, can you turn on
the heater, please?

- Yeah.

There you go.

Hey, you know what Mainers do
when the lake freezes over?

They stop sunbathing
on the dock.

Hey, you guys have fun.

- Almost all your
guests are families.

Singles don't stay here?

- Uh, not really.

There's a few in the summer,
I guess, for the fishing.

- That is so not Falcon.

Uh, is this a typo?

- What?

- Well, it says that
there's 100% occupancy

from the middle of November
until early January.

- No, that's no typo.

We're usually fully booked
from the first day of Advent

till the 12th
night of Christmas.

52 days, with one
Christmas special event

every single one of them.

- Wow, that's,

that's good marketing.

Whose idea was that?

- Uh, my great grandfather
came up with it.

He had a little lodge
that was always booked up

so he and my grandfather,
they built this big lodge

then they built the cabins
when my dad was still a kid.

My dad, he just followed
in their footsteps.

- You don't sound too
thrilled about it.

- Ah, well, you try spending
seven weeks of your Christmas

taking care of a dozen
or so families 24-7.

I mean, the kids are
great don't get me wrong,

but you've got to treat everyone
like they're family, right?

The only problem is,

they don't actually all
pitch in and lend a hand

like a real family, so I
think the Christmas gene

kind of skipped over a
generation with Jack and me.

- Jack?

- Yeah, he's my brother.

- Oh. I didn't know
you had a brother?

Does he work at
Snow Valley, too?

- Ha ha! No way!

He lives in Australia.

- Does he come
home for Christmas?

- It's too far.

Look, I got nothing against
Christmas, all right?

I just think one
day would be enough.

- Yeah, well, I didn't even get

one day of Christmas growing up.

It was just my father and me,

so all of our Christmases
were pretty much

a store-wrapped gift bought
by one of his assistants,

and a rubber turkey
lunch at the restaurant

in one of the hotels
in the franchises

he was running at the time.

Yeah, not much magic
in Christmas like that.

Bah, humbug!

- Looks like we have
something in common.

We're both Grinches.

- How about this one?

It's a little more fitted.

- Hmm...

I don't know.

What do you think?

- I think they both look good.

- Yes, and you'll
freeze in both of them.

Hi. May I?

32 degrees?

You might as well
go outside naked.

32, no.

No.

Okay.

Yes.

Your call.

- I look like a
beached whale in those.

- No, you'll look like someone

who has the brains to stay warm.

- The blue's a really
nice color on you.

- Look, we can drive
to Augusta if you want,

but it's going to take an
hour or more and honestly,

everything they have,

it's not going to
keep you any warmer

than either of these two.

- That's another thing.

We'll need a store
on the property

and our own line of
warm winter clothing.

- That's a good idea.

I'll be outside.

Oh, and for what it's
worth, she's right.

Blue is a good color on you.

- Oh.

That looks like fun.

- [Brady] Yeah, it is.

The kids love it.

- How come there isn't a
tube run in Snow Valley?

- Oh, I'm not the guy you talk
to about things like that.

Okay, it needs a longer slope

and we need a belt to bring
the kids back up safely

with the tubes,

but my father,

he doesn't believe that we
need anything mechanical

on our property.

- I, uh, I wanted to thank you

for teaching me how to
cross-country today.

- It was good for me to get
out on the trails again.

I hadn't seen them in a while.

- And, and thank you for
helping me with the shopping.

- My pleasure.

And while we're at it,

I'm sorry for screwing
picking you up at the airport.

- Oh, it's okay.

We're going to be spending

a lot of time together
this week, so...

- I'm Brady Lewis.

- Hi, I'm Stephanie Beck.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

- A pleasure to meet you.

("Deck the Halls")

- Excuse me.

Would you do the honors, Harvey?

- Oh, I'd be delighted.

Today is the Feast
of St. Thomas.

On this day, a
long, long time ago,

my parents brought
me to Snow Valley

for our very first
Christmas here.

- Yup, and we've been trying
to get rid of you ever since.

- The skis were made
of wood back then.

So were all the toboggans.

- And all the forests
were full of real,

live abominable snowmen!

(laughing)

- So every year, this
day, we trim the tree.

Merry Christmas!

- Merry Christmas, Harvey.

- Merry Christmas.

- All right, everyone.

Find your decorations.

Help yourselves.

- There we go, there we go.

- Mom, I can't find my train.

- Zak, I know where it is.

Here it is.

- Thank you.

- And, oh, here's
yours, Angeline.

- [Angeline] Thank you.

- [Karla] And this
one must be yours.

- I heard a rumor that you
finally sold the place.

Don't worry, I
won't tell anyone.

I just hope that the
people who bought it

realize what a gem
they've gotten.

- Excuse me a minute, Harvey.

Everyone's here.

Come in and say hello.

- Yeah, I will later.

Cabin six is low on kindling.

- That can wait.

How could you not
want to take over--

- Dad!

We've been through
this a million times.

It's too late now.

- Everything we built
here, we built for you!

- No, you didn't!

Great Grandpa and
Grandpa built it for you,

and you kept it their
way to please them.

Now, Ted Beck, he's
going to come in here

and he's going to drag this
place into the 21st century

and he'll add a whole
load of new things

that you refused
to even talk about.

- Ted Beck likes this
place just the way it is.

He's going to keep everything
exactly the same, remember?

That's why we sold it to him!

- Yeah. Yeah, that's right.

Is that in the contract?

- What are you two
doing out here?

We have a house full of guests

waiting inside to trim the tree.

- I have staff schedules
to work on, Ma.

- We're fully booked for
the whole Christmas season!

- Paul.

- Well, if it ain't broke,

why does he keep on
saying it needs fixing?

- All Jack and Brady
ever wanted to do

was to keep the lodge growing

and build something
of their own.

- Well, they're going
to have to build it

somewhere else now, aren't they?

- It's okay, Paul.

It's okay.

Brady's moving on,
and we are, too.

(knocking)

- Come in!

- Since Paul's grandfather
started Snow Valley,

every guest has been
given their own decoration

for the Christmas tree
in the great room.

Would you mind hanging
this on the tree

so we don't break the tradition?

- Oh, no, I, I'm
sorry, I'm working.

- Please?

- Oh, it, it's so sweet.

- [Karla] Perfect!

That is absolutely perfect.

Well done!

- Welcome to the Snow
Valley Christmas family.

- Thank you.

- Are you sure we can't
persuade you to stay

for Christmas Day?

Come on.

- Oh, I, I wish I could, but...

It really is beautiful.

What are the kids doing?

- Oh, they all bring a
gift for the children

at the hospital.

We wrap them right after
we've trimmed the tree.

It gets Christmas off
onto the right foot.

Reminds them it's not
just about what they get,

but also about what they give.

- Oh, I wish I'd known.

I would have bought something.

- Brady bought an extra
for you just in case.

- Really? That's so kind of him.

- Would you like to?

- Yeah.

- There you go.

- Oh, thank you.

- Shall I take that?

- Oh, please.

Hi!

- Can I help you?

- Please?

- Oh, thank you, yes.

I could use some help. Um.

What's your name?

- [Amanda] Amanda.

- Hi, Amanda, I'm Stephanie.

It's nice to meet you.

I don't wrap my own
gifts very often,

but I think you
turn it upside down.

The Feast of St. Thomas.

Swiss tradition has it

that on the night of
the Feast of St.Thomas,

a spinster can meet her
future husband in her dreams.

Who believes this stuff?

First, she must step on
a stool and get into bed.

Then she must stand on her
bed and take off her shoes.

I can't believe I'm doing this.

Then she must spin
around three times

and throw her shoes at the door.

One, two, three.

Was that three?

Okay.

Finally, she must sleep
with her feet on the pillow

at the head of the bed.

If she follows these
instructions perfectly,

that night, she will
dream of the man

she is destined to marry.

Oh, you are stark raving
loco, Stephanie Beck!

No way!

Not Brady.

No chance, no way, no how!

Definitely not Brady.

- Who did you dream about?

- What?

- In your St. Thomas's dream,
who did you dream about?

- Uh, I don't remember.

- Yes, you do.

If you tell me who
you dreamed about,

I'll tell you who
I dreamed about.

It'll be our secret.

We'll pinky-swear.

- [Brady] What exactly are
you two pinky-swearing about?

- That's our secret.

- So we're still heading up
Gabriel's Point tonight, right?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

We're gonna snowshoe.

- Snowshoe?

- Ooh, easier than walking.

Don't worry, Brady'll
take care of ya.

- Did we order the extra
Christmas lights for tomorrow?

- Oh, her dream.

- Whose what?

- Nothing.

Yes, you ordered them yesterday.

- [Brady] So what were you
two pinky-swearing about?

- Nothing. This is
easier than I thought.

Race you to the top!

Whoo! The new kid wins!

- I claim foul.

- Wow!

- [Brady] I'd forgotten
how beautiful it is.

- When was the last
time you were here?

- Well, last fall, but
you mean in the winter?

I don't know.

- [Stephanie] How can you not
come someplace so beautiful?

- I guess I just
took it for granted

it would always
be here or I'd be.

Will you change much?

- Snow Valley?

Well, we'll have to
change some of it.

But hopefully not as much
as I thought we should.

Do you hear that?

- What?

- Nothing.

The silence.

Hey!

- Strike a pose.

Come on.

There. You can tweet all
your friends back in Phoenix

just to prove that
you really were here.

- Um, what's, what's over there?

- There's a creek down there.

You just can't see it right now.

Best fly-fishing in the county.

My dad and I, we caught a
six-pound brook trout there.

Still holds the record.

My mom, she rolled it
in flour and cornmeal,

cooked it up with slices of
salted pork till it was crisp.

I'll always remember
how that tasted.

- I can't believe

that you're willing to
give all of this up.

You could make a
real difference here.

What's this?

- That's a plum pudding.

I thought I'd finished
making them weeks ago,

but we needed another one.

- And how many guests do
you cook for at Christmas?

- On Christmas Eve, there's 10,

maybe 12 families for the
Feast of the Seven Fishes

here in the Lodge.

It depends on the year.

- You count your
guests in families?

- Some are three
generations, remember?

Especially at Christmas.

- And what's Feast
of the Seven Fishes?

- That is the traditional
Italian dinner on Christmas Eve.

Then on Christmas Day,

most of the guests have their
Christmases in their cabins.

There's just a few of
us here at the lodge.

- And who is Pere Noel?

- Pere Noel (chuckles) .

Pere Noel is the French
version of Santa Claus,

except that Santa Claus
puts gifts in your stockings

on Christmas Eve
after you go to sleep,

whereas...

Pere Noel puts
candies in your shoes

on Christmas morning
before you wake up.

That's better for the parents,

because that way,

the children don't try to stay
awake in order to see him.

- What's that?

- This afternoon,

the children are going to
make their gingerbread houses.

- Every little detail
about Christmas

is important to you, isn't it?

- Well, not just to
me, to all our guests.

That's why we do it.

- Aren't you going to miss it?

- Every single bit of it.

But...

Christmas is like
a baton passed down

from one generation to the next.

It reminds us of who we
are, where we came from.

It was passed down
from Paul's grandfather

to Paul's father, to Paul, to...

Well, now we're passing
it along to you,

and to Falcon.

Promise me you'll
take good care of it.

- Hey!

- Whoa!

Come on, ladies, you
going to go have a run?

- No way.

We will let you
have all the fun.

- So how long have
you known Brady?

- Pretty much all my life.

We came here every year.

Two weeks at Christmas,

six weeks summer vacation,

sometimes a week
at Spring Break.

I'm a month younger than Jack,

which he never lets me forget,

so he and Brady were like,

I don't know, cousins that
I always saw on vacation.

- And you never got bored

coming to the same
place every year?

- Are you kidding?

No, this is like coming home.

Oh, I haven't seen Brady
have this much fun in ages.

- Yeah! Whoo!

- So tell me, how come
Brady's never gotten married?

- Ah, well, I guess
it's hard to settle down

when you're always
thinking about moving on.

Well, Jack and Brady

were always going to
take over the place.

Oh, they had big plans for it.

Jack always had
the business head,

but Brady was always,

well, he was always
the visionary.

But in the last couple years

we hear him talk less
about his dreams,

and, I don't know,

more and more about following

in his big brother's footsteps.

- Look out! Whoo!

Oh, bad 180.

- Vroom! Pow!

- Hey!

- Mom!

- Zak?

You can bomb your own house.

Please don't bomb your sister's

- All right, now,
when you're finished

we're going to let them dry,

and then you can take
the gingerbread houses

back to your cabins.

Has everyone written
their letters to Santa?

- Yup.
- Yeah.

- Is there anyone who hasn't
written a letter to Santa?

- Me.

- Don't worry.

I'll get you some paper.

It's never too late
to write to Santa.

We put the last-minute
letters to him on the mantle

over the fireplace.

They get to him,
don't ask me how!

I think the elf express
must pick them up!

Shh.

- Did you write your
letter to Santa?

- Not yet.

- You'd better, or your
Christmas wish won't come true.

- Hi, Dad.

- Hey, weren't we
supposed to have a meeting

about an hour ago?

- Oh, sorry, I was just, uh..

Do you know that they do the
most amazing Christmas here?

- They do what?

- They put on a huge Christmas.

Something every
day for the kids.

Yeah, they're fully booked
from before Thanksgiving

to halfway through January.

You know, instead of, uh,

having lunch at the
hotel, why don't you

- That's not what
you're up there for.

Your report's due in three days.

Our execs don't get
embedded in our projects

so they can get sucked in.

- I'm not getting sucked in.

For a start, it's
great marketing.

Why don't you come up here

and spend Christmas
and see for yourself?

- Stephanie, this is not about
what they do for Christmas.

It's about how we're
going to do what we want

with our real estate.

Now, are you going to
be okay to handle this,

or do I have to call Bart
Johnson and send him up there?

- I'm handling it fine, Dad.

- [Ted] Good.

- Stephanie!

What are you doing out here?

- Oh, sorry, I.

Your mom said there was
nothing like a brisk walk

in the snow to help
clear your mind.

- Right. Yeah.

Well, we'll make a
Mainer out of you yet.

What's on your mind?

- Uh, my father.

It's too long, too complicated.

- Well, believe me, I
know how that feels.

Uh, Stephanie?

Would you like to have
dinner with me tonight?

I mean, I know if you've got
your report, I understand.

- Yeah. I mean, no.

If you have an evening off
wouldn't you rather go skiing?

- No.

- Yeah, then I'd love to.

- Wow.

Are you ready for a
real Mainer dinner?

- We're going for lobster?

- Ah, sort of.

First, we're going
for a little walk.

- [Stephanie] I'm
not dressed for this.

I should have worn--

- [Brady] Not a chance.

You look gorgeous.

- Not like an idiot who
doesn't have the brains

to dress warm enough?

You know, if I catch pneumonia

- I wouldn't worry
about pneumonia.

I'd worry about the bears.

- Bea, there are bears here?

- Well, I wouldn't worry.

I mean, they are hibernating.

- Oh, good.

- But the bobcats

- What? Oh, stop it.

What are we doing here?

Ice fishing?

- You said you wanted
to see everything.

- Oh, Brady.

It's beautiful.

- Take your coat off.

You'll get too hot.

All right!

Excuse me.

- [Stephanie] Oh.

- Time to catch some dinner.

- Oh. I, I do not fish.

- Then what are you gonna eat?

Oh, look, there you go!
- Ooh, I got one!

- You got a bite.
- Ooh, I got one!

- That's right, that's right.
- I got it!

- Okay, okay, just,

now you just drop the
rod and slow down.

Slow down, slow down.
- OK.

- Slow down.

Okay, let him run a little.
- Okay, okay.

- Now reel him in.
Now reel him in.

- Okay, oh!

- There you go.
- I'm, I'm fishing!

- You're totally
fishing right now.

Look at you.

Oh, okay, reel him
in, reel him in!

Okay, okay, he's got to
be getting close now.

- Okay, just keep reeling?

- I'm seeing something.

- Really? Did you get it?

Is it really big?

- There we go.

- Whoa, I got a, I got a fish!

- Yeah, you got him.
- I got a fish!

Yes! I got a fish!

That was delicious.

- Was that the best
meal you ever caught?

- Uh, that was the first
meal I ever caught,

and probably the
best meal I ever ate.

- There's one more fish.

- No, I'm good, really.

- Yeah, all right.

- So was this as good as the
Festival of the Seven Fishes

on Christmas Eve?

- Mm, that's close.

- But you like that
Christmas Eve dinner?

- Oh, yeah.

It's the best meal
of the whole year.

- So what do you do
on Christmas Day?

You just sleep it off?

- No, we get up and
open our presents

and then have Christmas dinner.

- And you like that, too?

- Yes.

- (laughing) Gotcha!

That's two days of Christmas!

Yesterday, you said
- Oh!

you just liked one day, and
you were Grinchy about that!

- That's only one day.

Christmas Eve starts after seven

and Christmas Dinner
ends before seven.

- No, that's still
two days of Christmas.

- That's a 24-hour period.

- (laughing) See, you
do like Christmas.

- No, only those
two days, though.

What about you?

What do you think
about Christmas now

after a couple of
days at Snow Valley?

- I don't know.

But I think it's starting
to all grow on me.

It's starting to warm up.

You think it's warm
enough to snow?

- Nah, I don't think so.

- I want to see snow fall.

It must be so beautiful.

- Where did Little Miss
I-Don't-Do-Winter go?

What happened?

- I don't know.

- I guess your
winter blood came in?

- Yes, I guess it did.

Do you like singing
Christmas carols?

- Uh, in groups,
I'm not too good.

But in the shower on my own?

Oh, oh yeah, I'm phenomenal.

- I don't think I know the
words to a single carol,

at least not all
the way through.

Yeah, my father and I just...

- You know there's one
person you never speak about.

Your mother.

- My mom died when I was six

and that's when my
father disappeared?

He just went into a blue funk,

and I didn't see him for days.

Suddenly, I had a nanny,

and he just buried
himself in work.

And when I was nine,

I was sent to a boarding school,

and that's when I decided

that I would work
with him one day.

So that I would see him.

- That must have been hard.

- You deal.

- Whoa!

Out of nowhere!
I don't think so.

- No, no, no, no, no, no!

- What do you
think of that, huh?

- Hey!

I should go in.

- Yeah. Yeah, me too.

- I had fun tonight.

- So did I.

- There you are, Brady.

Christmas lights are
out in Cabin three,

and I can't leave
the carol singing.

Can you handle it?

- Right now?

- No, it's okay. I, uh...

I'll see you in the morning.

Oh! Oh!

Sorry! Oh, I'm sorry!

Oh, I should just watch you.

- Oh, it's ok.

No, you don't.

You don't get off that easy.

I have waited years for this.

All my sons ever wanted
to do was lick the bowl.

Have you ever thought
about having a family?

- Oh. No, not really.

I'm too busy working, I guess.

- Well, when you do, make
sure you have a daughter.

"A son is a son till
he takes a wife,

"a daughter is a daughter
for the rest of your life."

Are you going to
take over Falcon?

- If my father will let me.

Tell me something.

Why, uh, why didn't Brady
want to take over Snow Valley?

- Oh, that is a big
can of worms to open.

What did he say?

- Oh, I didn't ask him.

I figured he would tell
me it had something to do

with the seven
weeks of Christmas,

but I'm not buying that.

- Okay, take that.

That's right.

Add about a third
of it to this bowl.

Beautiful, beautiful.

Stir that.

Oh, no, not with that, nope.

We use the spatula.

"Gently is as gently does."

Just the way I showed you.

Perfect.

- I think beneath
all that Grinchiness,

Brady really loves Christmas.

- He does, doesn't he?

But he won't admit it.

Too darn stubborn,
like his father.

That needs a couple
more minutes.

The short version?

Brady had big plans

about some changes
he wanted to make,

whereas Paul thinks that
everything his father

and his grandfather
did is cast in stone.

One generation's innovation

is the next one's tradition,

is the next one's holy cow.

- So they locked horns?

- You could say that.

You know, Brady could have
just waited until we retired,

and then he could have done

whatever he wanted
with the place,

but I think he knew that Paul
would have felt betrayed,

so instead he announced

that he's going to
join Jack in Australia.

- Why didn't he?

- Well, the excuses were, first,

Paul injured his back

so Brady said he'd stay
until he got better.

Well, that turned out
that took four years,

not four months.

Then I had some problems so
he stuck around for that.

The the truth is,

I think he thought that Paul

would eventually come
around, but he didn't.

Now Paul needs to retire,

Brady's still here,

nothing is worked
out between them, so.

- So who was right?

- Neither of them.

Men aren't good at compromising.

Women are better at
finding the middle ground.

Oh, that brunsli you
made should be ready.

- Oh.

- Here we go.

You do the honors.

- Drum roll.

- [Stephanie] Ooh!

- Oh, my.

Oh, they look perfect.

- Ah, yay!

- You're a natural.

We'll make a cook out
of you yet, young lady.

- Stephanie!

Are you coming tonight?

- Uh, to what?

- To the tree lighting.

It's from Switzerland, and it
goes back to the Middle Ages.

- Really?

So that's part of my
Christmas tradition?

- Mm-hmm.

- Aunty Karla said the
Becks are from Switzerland.

- Do you believe in Christmas?

- Why do you ask that?

- You didn't come carol singing,

and that's part of Christmas.

- Yes.

Yes, I do believe in Christmas.

- 10, nine, eight, seven,

six, five, four,

three, two, one!

I just never imagined

there could be so much
magic in Christmas.

Thank you for

I lost it.

- Hey, Mom! Dad!

Lunch is ready!

- Oh.

Ooh!

- It's Swiss potato
and sausage soup,

with, with pumpernickel bread.

- Oh, this looks...

Mm, smell that.

Delicious.

- She made it.

- I just watched.

- Just like yours.

- Well, it's Karla's recipe.

I have to take this.

- Yeah.

- Hi, Dad.

- Hey, I haven't heard from you.

I thought I'd give you a call.

- Yeah, I'm sorry.

- Have you seen everything,
done your research?

- Yeah.

- What's wrong?

- Nothing.

- You sure?

- Yeah. Everything's fine.

- Okay, good.

- Hey, Dad,
marketing Snow Valley

isn't the same as marketing
the place in Cabo.

- Obviously.

One's hot, the other's cold,

but that's what we sent
you up there to do.

You're the one
who's supposed to be

linking those two together
for the Falcon brand customer.

You know that if
you get this right

the whole division is yours.

You understand that?

- Yeah. Yeah, Dad.

- Okay, good.

Well uh, you'll have
your report done

and ready for me tomorrow?

I'll meet you at 9:00 a.m.?

- Yes, 9:00 a.m., Christmas Eve.

- All right, I'll see you then.

- Bye, Dad.

I love you, too.

- You okay?

- That was my father.

- I know.

- He wants me to give
him my report tomorrow.

- Are you ready?

- I know what I'm
supposed to say.

Brady, this isn't about
Christmas at Snow Valley.

It's about how I recommend he
makes the changes he wants.

- Well, the place needs
some improvements.

- No, my father is not
talking about improvements.

He's talking about bulldozing
Snow Valley to the ground,

and that includes the Snow
Valley family Christmas.

He doesn't want
to keep anything.

He wants to just
start from scratch.

- That'll break my dad's heart.

- Yeah, don't you
think I know that?

- Well, is everything
at Falcon always done

the way Ted wants?

- Always. It's his company.

- Well, isn't there
a board of directors

or someone you can appeal to?

I mean--

- Look, you didn't go
against your father.

Don't ask me to go against mine.

- How does that song go
that you used to sing?

"You don't know what
you got till it's gone?"

I was so blinded by trying
to do things my own way,

that I stopped seeing
that what I really had

was what I loved all along.

And now it's too late.

Why couldn't Dad just
wait a couple more years

just so we could have
worked things out?

- Because he's tired.

He's getting forgetful
and he needs a rest.

It's been hard work
running this place

for the better part of 40 years.

- Well, Ted Beck lied.

He's going to raze this
whole place to the ground.

- I'm not surprised.

What does Stephanie think?

- I don't think
she agrees with it,

but what's she going
to do about it?

You know, when we were
up on Gabriel's Point

she asked me how could
I let this place go?

I didn't know the
answer in that moment

but my answer is because
I never had anyone before

that I wanted to share it with.

But now I do.

And this whole thing's
going to rip Dad to pieces.

- Why don't you show her this?

- It's beautiful.

- I did it as my fourth
year college project.

- Why wouldn't your
dad want to do this?

It keeps most of what's
here, but builds on it.

- That's not the way Dad
felt, but he does now.

- It's got everything.

The gym, the spa, the tube run.

Boutique.

- Even got our
own clothing line.

- Snack bar?

- Yeah.

- My father has to see this.

- You not finished your report?

- I haven't even started it.

I can't write what
he wants me to write.

I can't let him
destroy Snow Valley.

- So we'd better get to
work then, hadn't we?

And now end with the map.

- Great.

- Have you two finished?

- We have now.

- Well done.

You've got less than half
an hour to get freshened up.

- Here. Take that.

- Grab that for me.
- Yup.

- Thank you.

Hurry, hurry.

- Ready?

- Ready as I'll ever be.

- We set up the library for you.

- Thank you.

- He's here.

- Right on the button as always.

Hi, Dad.

- You look different.

- Yeah, it keeps me warm.

Dad, this is Brady
Lewis, Paul Lewis's son.

- Merry Christmas, Sir.

- Yeah.

- Ted, nice to see you!

Merry Christmas!

- Thank you.

- You remember my wife, Karla?

- Karla.

- Welcome, Ted. Merry Christmas.

Here, let me take your coat.

- Mm-hmm.

Wow, you folks certainly
have this place

looking very Christmassy.

- Thank you.

Can you stay for
Christmas Eve dinner?

- Oh, I can't, no.

I have some other
business in the area.

As a matter of fact.

- Oh, you want to get started?

Sure.

We reserved the library for you.

- Excellent.

- Well, if you need
anything, just, uh...

- Hmm.

Do they always go
over the top like this

with their decorations,
or is this in my honor?

- No, they do it this
way every Christmas.

- Well, when we take
over, we'll get rid of it.

So let's get started.

- Snow Valley Lodge is a
successful ongoing business

that enjoys 100% occupancy rate

from Advent to 12th Night.

- And when exactly is that?

- 40 days before Christmas
to 12 days after it,

so that includes Thanksgiving,

and 80% weekend occupancy
throughout the rest of the year.

- How's she doing?

- I don't know, I can't tell.

- And so, Dad, this is
what it will look like.

- Who did that?

Brady.

The new Snow Valley
builds on what's here

to attract all the
usual Falcon clients,

but it also conserves
what's here now

to keep its present guests.

I represent both
our target markets,

and I like everything
that's here.

But above all, now
that I know what it is,

I love Christmas.

And you know what's special
about Christmas here?

It's about the
people I've never met

becoming my Christmas family,

and it's not just the
Lewises, it's all the guests.

I, I love Christmas decorations,

and I, I love singing
Christmas carols,

and I, I love it when they
turn on the lights on the tree,

and I want to go on
doing these things

every Christmas for
the rest of my life.

What we should do at Snow Valley

is go on giving families
the Christmas they love,

and start giving people like me

the Christmas we
never knew we wanted

but always dreamed
of, and build on that.

- Wonderful.

Fabulous.

And total hogwash.

Falcon is a brand,

we have a following.

21 to 45 year old DINKS.

"Double Income, No Kids."

You know what Christmas is?

Christmas is a marketing
festival for the toymakers.

An excuse for the toy stores

to have a gigantic monster sale.

Don't you get that?

Falcon people, our people.

Our market,

They don't care about
Christmas anymore!

- Yes, we do.

I care.

Brady cares,

and the DINKS who are
Falcon clients now

are going to have children,

and this is exactly
the kind of place

they're going to
want to bring them.

Remember what you said?

This is just a
mom-and-pop place?

Well, you're right.

That's exactly what it
is, and that's good.

This isn't just a good
business decision,

it's about doing what's right.

Dad, I, I can't support you
tearing down Snow Valley.

It embodies everything that's
important about Christmas,

which reminds us what's
important in life.

Christmas is not
just about toys,

and sales, it's about
a rebirth in all of us,

and, and a gift of love
that binds us all together.

Right, but what would
you know about Christmas

and family and love?

Because you never liked
any of that since Mom died.

- Well, I'm glad that,
uh, you like it so much.

But that's not what I
sent you here to do,

and since you refuse to do that,

you're fired.

Just drive.

- What happened?

- He fired me.

- What?

- My own father fired me.

- I'm so sorry.

- You know, I'm not.

I did the right thing.

And now we only have one choice.

We have to have
the best Christmas.

that Snow Valley ever had.

- And it will be.

It'll be one we'll remember
for the rest of our lives.

♪ Bring us some fishy puddings

♪ Oh, bring us
some fishy pudding

♪ Oh, bring us some
fishy pudding ♪

- Ladies and gentlemen,

the Feast of the Seven Fishes!

- And the 13 desserts!

- [Both] Buon appetito!

- This looks so delicious.

- You know what I love
about Christmas food?

We only eat it at Christmas.

- I think you're right.

- Merry Christmas.

Are you expecting anyone, Sir?

- No. No one.

- Dad?

I'm sorry. This is all my fault.

- What? You cooked all this?

I thought it was your mother.

- You know what I mean.

If I hadn't been such an idiot,

you would have never
sold Snow Valley.

- If I hadn't been
such an idiot,

I would have listened to you,

and none of this would
have ever happened.

- If both you hadn't been
such complete idiots,

Brady would never
have met Stephanie.

Hey.

Aren't we allowed one
present from under the tree?

- Yeah, just one.

- Only one?

- Can't we have two?

- Oh!

Whose daughter are you?

- It's a Leap Pad Ultra!

Thanks Mom.

- You're welcome, baby.

- Cool!

- Dear Santa,

What I really want for Christmas

is a real Christmas with my dad

like the Christmases
we had before Mom died.

Since I came to Snow Valley,

I can remember them again.

I remember Dad dressing
up as you, Santa.

His deep, happy, "Ho ho ho."

But he missed Mom so much,

and it went away,

so he and I missed
out on so much.

I want my Dad to spend Christmas
here at the lodge with me,

so we can have the
family Christmas

we now only have
in our memories,

and I can have my dad back.

Thank you.

- You're welcome.

Has everyone hung
up their stockings?

- Yeah!

- Yes, I have!

- Good.

All right, find a comfy
spot, gather 'round.

That's it. Shh...

- 'Twas the night
before Christmas,

and all through the house

not a creature was stirring,

not even a mouse.

The stockings were hung
by the chimney with care

in the hopes that St.
Nicholas soon would be there.

The children were nestled
all snug in their beds,

while visions of sugar
plums danced in their heads.

And Mama in her
kerchief and I in my cap

had just settled down
for a long winter's nap.

When out on the lawn there
arose such a clatter,

I sprang from the bed to
see what was the matter.

Away to the window,
I flew like a flash,

tore open the shutters
and threw up the sash.

- It's Christmas!

Pere Noel!

Pere Noel was here!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Merry Christmas!

- [All] Merry Christmas!

- Did Santa come for me, too?

- Yes, of course, he did. Here.

I thought I was just
going to get coal, however

It's got my name on it.

- Aw!

- Open yours, open yours.

- Oh! They match!

- Well, go on put it on.

- Aw.

- Aw.

- Merry Christmas!

- You both look so cute.

- Thank you. Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.

- You're welcome.

- [Paul] Ho ho ho ho.

- [Karla] Ta-dah!

- The food and
traditions of Christmas

bring us together and help us
understand its true meaning.

Christmas is a time of
tradition and rebirth,

when we get to
both enjoy the past

and look forward to the future,

and its main ingredient
isn't the place.

That doesn't matter.

It's the people who we
surround ourselves with

who share their
traditions with us,

and so to family and friends

both here and elsewhere,

Merry Christmas!

- [All] Merry Christmas.

- Merry Christmas, Dad.

- Ho, ho, ho!

Merry Christmas to you all!

My elves told me you
deserved some extra gifts!

I'm sorry I didn't park
my sleigh on the roof,

But this is my last call,

and Donner and Blitzen

are just too tired
to fly another step.

- [Girl] Santa!

- First, for the
lovely young ladies,

something special for you,

and for you in that lovely
dress, and there you go.

Oh, no not for you.

Oh, maybe.

Okay.

Yes, yes here's something

you forgot to ask
for in your letter,

but I knew you wanted.

And something for you.

Yes, gifts from the
North Pole for everyone.

And finally, the most
important gift of all.

To my wonderful
daughter, Stephie.

My deepest apologies.

That's my gift for all the
Christmases we never had.

Merry Christmas.

- Merry Christmas, Dad.

- Thanks for opening my eyes.

I hope it's not too late.

- Of course it's not too late.

Oh, Dad.

- Oh, oh, baby.

You know, Paul was right.

It's time to retire sooner
or later for everybody.

I think this is my time.

I've been thinking
inside the box.

You helped me realize
that, uh, well,

what you did showed the
kind of guts and strength

that it's going to take to
run a place like Falcon.

So please, will you come back

and be the head of our
Winter Resorts division?

Hmm? Will you?

Then within a couple of years,

you could be running
the whole company.

- Yes.

Thank you

- [Ted] Oh baby.

I have a piece of advice
for you right off the bat.

There is somebody
that I have in mind

who could be a fabulous manager

for the Snow Valley Resort.

. Huh?

- Oh, my. Oh, my. Thank you.

- What do we think?

Well, may I join you?

- [All] Yes!

- Merry Christmas!

- Yes! Come over here.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

- This was my best
Christmas ever.

- It's mine, too.

- I love you.

- I love you, too.
