Okay, my friends,
if you're green, you're a queen.

Take a seat at a table
and await your fate.

But girl, if you're red,

move on ahead and let
the dates begin!

So Alice...

you remember I said she was
the drummer from before. Whatever.

Apparently, she did not like the way
things were going and instead of...

Yeah, we didn't really vibe.
But, uh... good luck and stuff.

Hi.

Hi, I'm, uh...I'm Jane.

Jane, what is it that you do?

Um, I run my family horse farm.

Mmm.

So do you lift?

Do hay bales count?

So let me guess...you're a Capricorn.

Yeah, yeah, like I was saying,

everything is moving digital.

It's the way of the future.

Future of business?

And this is Mrs. Snifflepuss.

She has allergies.

And, um, that is Fred.

And this...this is Casper.

Thank you.

I don't want to talk about it.

Okay.

Speed dating?!

Look, I know my mom just
wants me to not to be lonely,

especially since you're getting
remarried and stuff.

I just--I get it.

I thought you didn't
want to talk about it.

Shut up. I hate you.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Thank you for checking in on me.

My horses don't care
if I lift or what Zodiac sign I am.

Come on, Jane.
You need something for yourself.

I have ice cream.

Listen, Mom.

Daddy's getting married in a week
and you might not be able

to do all the best-friend stuff anymore.

You've been talking to grandma.

It's time you find someone
to share your life with.

Someone who doesn't just love
you for your bucket of oats.

Rude.

Hi, Crystal.
What are you doing up so early?

Actually, it's the end
of the workday for me, honey.

But I got your message.

You can't be serious.
A bachelor party with no strippers?

Like a fashion show with no fashion.

Yeah, um, sorry about that.

It's just that the bachelor's wife--

Um, sorry, fiance...

didn't really like the whole
stripper thing, so we need to cancel.

Yep. Heard it a million times.
That's fine. But guess what?

I'm keeping the $200 deposit.
That's how that works.

$200? God, I got
into the wrong business.

I mean I would do it myself
if I could walk in heels...

or owned a thong.

Right...women don't usually
plan bachelor parties.

Well, I'm full of surprises, Crystal.

Okay. Thank you. Happy holidays.

Don't even start.

I didn't even say a word.

Oh, good morning, angel.

No, grandmother.
It is not a good morning.

Oh?

Why must somebody out there think it's
a good idea to make clothes for girls

- that are itchy and hot?
- Ohh.

This makes no sense at all,

but I have to do my best to
make a good impression for Dad.

You're a good kid, you know that?

Here's a cup of cocoa to help
smooth over those rough spots.

Can you put a shot of espresso in there?

No!

Rough spots already?
It's not even breakfast time.

I think I'm having a midlife crisis.

Same, honestly.

So, how did it go last night?

Mom, do you want to know what
I want for Christmas this year?

No. What?

I want you to stop pushing me to date.

Oh, honey. I mean maybe you're
just not being open enough--

Mom, you know my hands are
full with Lexi and the farm.

It's just...not a good time.

And last night was not a good time.

Oh. I didn't think--

No, you didn't. You know,
it's been three years since Dad died.

And you don't see me pushing
you to go out and...

I'm sorry.

You know, Mark has been your
best friend for a decade.

Your husband for half
of that, even since the divorce.

He's moving on, Jane.

I just don't want you to be lonely.

Oh, you gave Lexi her outfit to wear
for the pictures with Santa, right?

Yep, sure did.

You know she's 10. She can...

Hi, Sue.

Oh, good. You have a car, right?

Great. Perfect!

See you then.

Sue landed and she's got
all the appointments set up.

Uh, cake, dress,

flowers, sleigh. Yay!

You know, I really wasn't sure
about a Christmas wedding,

but that is why we hired Sue.

She is so right. It's going to be the
most talked about wedding of the year.

I just know it.

If I wear the sweater dress, not only
will I be itchy and uncomfortable,

I'll not be genuine. I can't go into
the relationship being somebody I'm not.

What should I do?

What?

I just never realized how pretty
it was out here in the winter.

Yeah, sure is.

You know, you can't even smell
the manure through the snow.

Let's go.

Dad and Heather are here!

I see you went with the dress.

I have a change of clothes in my bag.

Good.

Good morning!

Good morning. Thank you, thank you.

Thank you.

Are you excited
to see Santa, Lexi?

Have you been good this year?

Good is a relative term, don't you think?

All right, we got to get going,
but I'll see you tonight?

Mm-hm.

Oh, right! The bachelor party.

Remember, Jane,
don't have him out too late.

Nine o'clock would be good.

Nine PM?

Yeah, we have an eight
o'clock cake tasting.

Mm-hm. And that's eight AM?

I won't have him back too late.
Don't worry.

- Just a couple drinks with friends.
- Mm-hm.

It's all good.

Good is a relative term,
don't you think?

Wow.

Oh wait, let me get a photo for Insta.

Dad, I thought you didn't
approve of social media.

Not for you, sweetheart.
You're too young.

I don't know, Mark.
My sister got it when she was 11.

Gorgeous.

Hm.

You know, your dad used to say the
only thing constant in life is change.

I thought he used to say
a pony doesn't trot backwards.

Yeah, I think he said that too.
Kind of the same thing.

You got to just keep on, honey.

Things change and all we
can do is stay on and keep riding.

Thanks, Mom.

Okay, I got to get it together
and go into town.

For what?

To pick up some cupcakes from
the bakery for the bachelor--

Jane Alaina McSurely.

You're going to spend $5
on those cupcakes

when I could make them for you?

Be just as good, maybe better,
than that fancy bakery.

Yeah, um, see, they're doing like
a whole... like a separate...

like a different thing where they
make a bad, it's like a bad thing.

It's like a, ugh...love you.

Hey, Givens boys!

Hey, Dad, oh!

Nice catch, Dad.

You know, it's against the law
to let baby Jesus touch the ground.

No, son, I think that's the flag.

Oh... yeah.

- Bye, Mom.
- Bye.

- I think I broke a rib.
- Oh.

Are you headed into town by chance?

Yep. To the bakery.

Perfect timing. Can I catch a ride?

Yep.

Thank you so much!

Let's get you inside.

It'll be busy downtown today.

Ooh, you're going to be slammed.

I love it. When people come in from
Christmas shopping they're jolly.

It's wonderful.

Plus bigger tips.

I guess. I just think that
Christmas spirit makes people...

sparkle.

Or Noelle, maybe that's you.

Maybe. I learned from the best.

You always made Christmas
so special for us.

Who, me?

Only the most magical babysitter ever.

I mean shadow puppets
and blanket forts

and chocolate peppermint popcorn.

Man, you were like three or four.
How do you even remember that?

I always remember the best things.

You remember what you
always used to tell us?

Oh, right.

Holiday magic
makes everything brighter.

Whoa! Jane!

Ahh!

Merry Christmas, Mrs. Kaminski.

Better watch out.

Do you think I made
the "nice" list this year, Santa?

Absolutely.
And love will keep you there.

Thank you, Santa.

Oh, you're welcome!

Lexi, I'm surprised
to see you here this year.

I know.

Just play along, okay?

Okay...so, what do
you want for Christmas?

What I want is to know
if it's good to do something

to make someone else happy,

even if that means you have to
sacrifice your authenticity.

Well, the world isn't
always black and white.

Sometimes the good thing is
to pick up the middle ground.

Thank you, Santa. That helps a lot.
Have a merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas to you, Lexi.

I mean, maybe it's not that weird
if I just go say hi to them.

How about I treat you
to a nice peppermint--

Oh!

Oh, my God.

I'm so sorry!

I didn't see you there.
I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry. Jinx. Did I get you?

Yeah, a little. It's okay though.
I'm sorry. I didn't see...

You know what they say?
There's no use crying over spilt...latte.

It was really nice of you to laugh at that.
It was a terrible joke.

No, it was funny.

Okay, almond milk latt-...
Where'd she go?

Sue...

Ah, that's good.

Jane, you are just in time.

Are those...

Yes.

Yes, they are.

Sure were a nice change from
all the Holly and reindeer.

You don't think they're too much?

Oh, no.
Everybody loves...

cupcakes.

Thanks, Ned.
Merry Christmas.

Have a good party tonight.

Thanks, Ned.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Hi, sweetie.

How was, uh, Santa?

Did you tell him
what you want for Christmas?

What's in the box?

Oh, uh, cupcakes for your dad's party.

Can I have one?

No, there's just one for each guest.

Can I see them?

Uh, no.

but grandma made a ton
of stuff at home so you can

get something from her there.

Interesting running
into you here, Jane.

Small town life, huh?

Uh, yeah, I guess you'll get used to it.

No, I don't think I will.

Okay. Yeah.

Come on, we're going to be
late for lunch with Sue.

The restaurant is so aesthetic.

Well, I guess it's just me...

standing here with a box of cupcakes

shaped like boo--

...Booze!!

Strippers!

Hey, hey, hey, hey... guys.

It's the moment that we've
all been waiting for.

Yes, thank you, thank you, thank you.

The most amazing pastry
treats in all the land.

Oh, it's not as exciting as
I thought it was going to be.

Fancy bakery indeed.
They didn't even finish frosting them.

Great party, man.

This really means a lot.

This? This little shindig?
It was nothing.

No, not just this party.
Like, all of it.

Everything.

You're always there for me and...

I mean, I did divorce you, so...

Besides that.

You're my best friend, Jane.

You sure you want out here?

Yeah, we need to walk it off.

Happy Kwanza.

Hey, Mark?

Yeah?

I don't think we can be
best friends anymore.

- Definitely not.
- I'm not joking.

What do...
Jane...

- Because it's not fair.
- To who?

To...to Heather.

Don't cry.

I'm not.

Snow is accumulating on my face.

Dark and bitter, just like my soul.

No, Gerald, you cannot put
another lump of coal on the fire.

No. I was just here to remind you of
the McSurley appointment this morning.

It was a joke. It was just...

Never mind.

There she is.

Hey, Ned, I'm ready to taste your cakes.

You know, Mark, we're on
a really tight schedule,

so I'd really appreciate if you'll
at least try to stick to it.

Yes, of course.

Now I could really use some coffee.

Uh, I'm going to just go get cleaned up

for the dress fitting later.

Good idea.

Okay.

Bye.

Bye, Jane.

I'll see you in a bit.

And, hey...thank you.

Thank you, man.

I'm fine.

I can't drive a car.

She's such a bad influence.

I specifically asked her not
to have you out past nine.

Heather. Heather. I'm an adult.
I made a choice.

It's not Jane's fault.

Can I get a ride?

I'm sure we'll have it in plenty
of time, Andrea, don't you worry.

I know it's been rough, Mary Ellen.
Al was a good man.

He was like a big brother to me.

He taught me how to hold
the reins, you know,

after he taught me how to muck a stall.

I think I spent more time here at
the farm than I did at my own house.

Well, that's because there were other
kids here all the time.

There was always
something fun going on over here.

And the horses.

You were the only rider that could
actually keep Monty under control.

Monty was a beast.

He was. Layla was sweet though.

A lot of children learned
to ride with her.

Before Pine Hill stables opened, anyway.

Yeah, it's kind of hard to compete
with a million-dollar facility.

Their barn stalls are
nicer than my whole condo.

I'm sure glad Al wasn't
here when they opened.

This farm was everything to him.

Well...

as much as I'd love to stay and
keep eating these delicious cookies,

my schedule won't allow it
and neither will my pants.

Well, here you take some with you.
Some for Sam.

Lord knows I have enough.

Well, thank you, Mary Ellen.

You know how much
we love your snicker doodles.

But...

you know this won't stop things
with the bank.

Unfortunately, my hands are tied.

I told you, Andrea, don't worry.

I'll be down at the bank tomorrow
and everything will be just fine.

Yeah.

Oh, hi, Andrea.
What are you doing here?

I'm just leaving.
Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

So, Jane,
where have you been?

It's morning.

I know.

Mom, why was
Andrea Hayworth here?

Oh, just stopped by. You know.
I gave her some cookies.

Mm.

Mom, I keep
running into this woman.

Oh?

Yeah. I mean, I don't even know her,
but there's just this...this feeling.

A spark?

I guess.

I just...

I never really felt this before.
It's like just...

but I already messed it up,

and she's Heather's wedding planner.

Oh dear.

You know, there's no mess that can't be wiped
clean with a little elbow grease.

Mom, let's go. It's dress day.
You need to take a shower.

I don't smell that bad.

Hey, Sue, have you ever been to a barn?

Hey, Sue, have you ever fed a carrot
to a pregnant mare?

Sue, what's the scariest land
mammal and why bears?

Sue, that's a nice mouth you've got.

Sue, I hope you like children.

Forget it.
It's better if it's organic.

Don't judge me, Shirley.

Best woman?

Yeah.

You know, I think there's a reason
why I haven't seen

a female best man in the
seven years I've been doing this.

Because women don't like to share
their man with another woman?

No, because our society has a long
way to go when it comes to normalizing

cross-gender platonic relationships.

Okay.

All right. Give me this.

Lexi, honey,
come meet my friends.

You are the best woman.

Uh, yes.

Lexi. Hi, sweetie.

- So cute.
- Want to see the dress?

Here's the dress.

Did you bring shoes?

No.

Size?

Eight.

You can use this
dressing room over here.

You look smashing.

You should probably
go get back out there.

Mom, you look smashing.

Oh my god, stop.
Go, go, go, go, go.

Sue, come on.
I couldn't have done this without you.

Well, Shirley,

looks like we both got ourselves
into trouble this time.

Let's see.
21... 790...

It's never actually as easy as pie, is it?

Except when it's pie.

You're going to be the best
mannered girl that ever existed.

Sure, yeah.

Jane, we'll drop off Lexi after we
pick up my parents at the airport.

Great. Thank you.

Are you excited to meet
your new nana and papa?

Yes, ma'am.

Uh, Sue, you'll take my dress, right?

And then Mark and I can see
you later at the caterer?

Yep. See you at six.

See you later.
Bye, Jane.

Bye Heather.
Bye, Lexi. I love you, honey.

Uh, Jane...

would you like to come to the florist
with me since Mark and Heather

and Lexi...

Um, yeah, sure. I would love to.

Great.

Seven bucks? For a coffee?

It's not just a coffee, Miss Hayworth.

It's a triple peppermint
mocha with extra whip.

But for that price,

I could have bought an acre of coffee
farm in Brazil and had it personally

picked, dried, and roasted
by a co-op farmer named Paolo.

I usually just take it black.

Miss Hayworth,

when's the last time you've treated
yourself to something...decadent?

I mean, this is like a little bit
of Christmas right in your cup.

And you deserve it!

Hm.

Yeah, well for that price...
better have a shot of Bailey's in it.

Keep the change.

When are we
going to get there?

It's still going to be
about 40 minutes, sweetie.

Why didn't they just fly into Metro?

There's several direct
fights from O'Hare every day.

You know, roses are my favorite flower.

Why?

I love the silkiness of the petals...

soft, clean scent,

they're sophisticated, feminine...

So, what's your favorite flower?

Um, Lilac.

Really, why?

Well, um...

so my dad grew up in the house
that I live in now with my mom,

and on the back porch
there's this huge lilac bush.

So that lilac bush started from
a cut from my grandmother's lilac,

and that lilac bush started with
a cut from my great-grandma's lilac bush.

So it just all kind of feels like connection
to my family going way, way back.

Well, I think that's beautiful.

You know, they can't sell
lilacs in a flower shop

because the blossoms die too quickly
once they're cut. Fun fact.

- Hi, ladies.
- Hi.

This is for you.

Oh, uh.

Well... put it on your head, honey.
Let's see if it fits.

I--no, I'm not the bride.

Oh, come on. Try it.

Oh. Okay.

The, uh, the tulle
actually goes in the back.

Like that.

Oh.

- I'm allergic to baby's breath.
- Yeah, let's, uh...excuse me.

Yeah, you're good.

What's going on?

Their flight was delayed.

What?

Yeah, she texted me like a couple
hours ago, but I didn't get it.

You didn't get the flight
info before we left?

No, I was a little busy.

It looks like they might
be on a flight now.

We can wait.

We just need to be back
by six for the caterer.

Sounds good.

Hey, Sue...

The flight was delayed
and we should still make it at six,

but I just wanted
to give you a heads up.

How are the flowers?

Perfect.

I'll talk to you later, okay?
Be safe.

That was Heather.
Parents' flight was delayed.

Oh, no.

Yeah, I guess they're going to
wait it out at the airport or...

Well, I guess I should go back home
and help my mom out with some...

Hello, Jane.
Hello again, is it Sue?

Hi! Your regular
white chocolate cherry mocha.

Thank you, dear.

I'm glad I ran into you.

Yoga passes!
My studio was giving 'em out,

but they need to be
used before Christmas.

I thought you might like to go,

with all the stress of the wedding, yoga
can be a great way to calm the mind,

the body, spirit.

Well, thank you.
Did you know I'm obsessed with yoga?

I've got my stuff in my car.

I've been looking
for a studio since I got here.

Next class is in 20 minutes.
Jane, don't worry. It's a beginner's class.

Oh, no, I'm not. I can't.
I don't have the right clothes.

Oh no. Don't be silly.
I have my bag with me.

I went this morning before
work and you'll fit my stuff.

Yoga pants are like magic.

See you already
have the breath work down.

Looks like you'll be a natural.

Inhale draws the arms up
and overhead, lifting the gaze.

Exhale brings them
back down to the sides.

Inhale steps that right foot forward.

So you've never
done yoga before have you?

Not true.
I did it at family fitness night...

Once.

When Lexi was in kindergarten.

Is this why you can walk in heels?

Shh.

And sending it forward
into Warrior three.

I like your tattoo.

Thanks. I got it a long time ago.

Well, it's beautiful.

Just remembering
that if you need to,

you can always return to child's
pose to find your center.

This yoga mat smells weird.

No, Mom.

Okay.

Keep me posted. Love you.

Not going to make it tonight?

Hey, everything's going to be all right.

This is Sue.

Oh, no.

No problem. I'll take care of everything.
Just keep me updated.

Text me every hour.

All right, see you soon.

That was Heather.
They're stuck at the airport.

Yeah, Mark just texted me.

Well, I guess you'll have to come with
me to Antonio's to test the menu for the catering.

Oh, yeah, child's pose really
does work up an appetite.

Does it?

Let's go.

La la la la la la la la...

La la...

Hello? Oh, hi, sweetie pie.

No, no. Don't worry about me.

No, I'm just going to have a cup of
soup and finish decorating my cake.

Great idea. Yeah, you go have fun.

Yeah, I'll see you later.
All right, love you.

Yeah, I know how you feel.

There's just something about
putting the finishing touches

on a Christmas cake
that calms the nerves.

And when I was in art school,
I was doing catering on the side,

so then I just transitioned
into events and weddings.

Makes perfect sense.

Miss Santos.

Uh, yes. So sorry that Mark
and Heather couldn't be here.

Well, Mark and Heather will have
a chance to try everything soon enough.

I didn't know you worked here.

Only on the weekends.

All right, let's get you started.

So for the appetizers

we have a smoked whitefish
pate with crisp bread,

a baked brie with an assortment of fresh
berries and the Quiche Lorraine.

We have a choice between the bib salad
with apple and gorg-

the bib salad

with apple and gorgonzola
or the classic Caesar.

And then of course you have

the choice of the chili-infused
beef tenderloin

with a house-made chimichurri sauce,

the chicken breast
with a wine port sauce.

All of this will be served

with herb-roasted potatoes and piperade,

which is a traditional French pepper dish.

Piperade.

Bon apetit. Let us know if
everything is up to your standard.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

I can't believe this.

It's one night in a hotel.

As long as it's clear by Saturday.

Otherwise I'm missing
my own wedding.

You wanna bite? This is so good.

I need to fit in my dress.

I have to fit in my dress too.

Okay. Give me a bite.

Mmm... it's so good!

- Right?
- Mmm.

How do you say no to a burger bite?

You know, you can't technically
miss your own wedding.

You're right. Eat more burger.

And right when the minister's about
to ask if there's any objections,

I swear that same cousin gets
up and says, "I object."

No.

Yeah, and unfortunately since
she was so high profile,

of course it made all of the
tabloids, the magazines, the news,

and of course social media.

But as they say,

any publicity is good publicity...

and that wedding launched
my career to the next level.

I mean, it's a pretty cool start.

My career never really launched.

What was it?

Attorney. Civil rights attorney.

Really? No way.

What? I don't strike
you as the lawyer type?

I'm sorry. I suppose I shouldn't judge
a book by its cover. What happened?

Um, I met Mark. He was in law school
and I was doing my undergrad.

He was so funny.

We laughed so hard and had
so much fun together.

I mean, he's my best friend.
He was and he still is.

Hence the best woman.

Yes. Yeah.

So he asked me to marry him,
and of course I said yes.

And then he opened his
practice and I got pregnant

with Lexi before I finished law school.

Mark and I got divorced
when Lexi was five

and I moved in with my parents.

I just wanted to like...
take some time,

to figure myself out
and maybe go back to school.

But then my dad got really bad
heart problems and it moved

really quickly and I guess I just, um,

I've just been there a lot
longer than we planned.

Well, sometimes things
don't go according to plan.

How was everything, Miss Santos?

Splendid. I think this will be a
perfect menu for the reception.

I'm very happy to hear it.
Shall we take these plates away?

- Bring you some coffee?
- Yes, that would be great.

I'll have a black coffee and Sue
takes an almond milk latte. Extra hot.

- You got it.
- Thank you.

Thank you, Chef.

You know my coffee order?

Oh, hey, Joseph. Did Jody come
in to ride Dandy Dancer today?

Uh, she finally did.
That horse was missing her mama.

Mm. Good. I'm glad.

Um, there was another
no-show for the lesson

except for the one mom who bought
a Groupon for her daughter.

Oh, well that's okay. The winter's
usually a little slow for lessons anyway.

I suppose. Anyway, you have
a good Christmas, Jane.

You're not coming in tomorrow?

I wish I could.

Mom, what's up with Joseph?
He's not coming in tomorrow?

Oh, I gave him a few
days off for Christmas.

We don't have any more lessons this week.

I figured, you know,
I could help out with the farm.

Oh, you're going to help out in the barn?

What? You think I'm too old
to pour some oats?

No, not what I said.

Well, you look like you had
quite a good time tonight.

It was wonderful.

Oh, I'm so glad.

That's great.
I was a little worried, you know,

after that bachelor party thing.

Okay, no need to go there, Mom.
We don't need to relive that moment.

Okay, I'm going to go get changed.

All right.

Oh, where is Lexi?

Mark called.
He said he left you a message.

They got snowed in at the airport,
so they had to take a hotel.

Oh, I knew they were
going to be there late,

but I didn't know if they
were going to stay overnight.

Yeah, I guess they'll be back sometime
tomorrow after the in-laws arrive.

I wonder how Bridezilla
is going to handle that.

Hello?

Moving out?

No, I'm just cleaning out
some stuff in the closet here.

Can you take it out to the barn, please?

Yeah, sure.

Thank you.

Come on, Jane.
We're test driving the sleigh.

Morning.

Good day.

On Dasher! On Dancer!

Are you sure?

Mary Ellen, we already explored it.

The farm's income even combined
with your social security and assets

just doesn't support another equity line.

For you to come up with what you need
by tomorrow would take

nothing short of a miracle.

I still believe in miracles.

And miracles are too few and far between.

This town is so charming
during the holidays.

Oh, it is a Christmas bonanza from
Thanksgiving until the snow melts.

You wanna talk
about a Christmas bonanza?

My Lola puts up
the decorations in September

and doesn't take
them down until Easter.

How do you know
Mr. and Mrs. Givens?

Oh, they've been here forever.

Mr. Givens and my dad
were best friends.

They're a really sweet couple.

You can tell they
really love each other.

They just had their 20th
wedding anniversary.

Wow. What an accomplishment.

I can't get a relationship
to last past 20 days.

You? No way. I mean, maybe you just
haven't found the right person.

Yeah, I don't know. I'm starting
to think I'm the problem.

I'm sure it isn't you. I mean...

why did I say that out loud?

Well, maybe you want to get
to know me a little better

before you make that assessment.

Oh look, there's the kids!

Have you ever been tobogganing, Sue?

No, I haven't.

- No.
- Mm-hm.

Okay, Sue, hold onto Jane, tight,
and Jane, hold on to the handles.

Uh... are we sure this is safe?

I used to it all the
time when I was a kid.

This is the hardest part,
but once you get over the edge...

You just let go
and let the hill take you!

W--well not actually let go.

This is gonna be funny.

- How do we stop?
- Well?

- Um!
- No-no-no-no!

Oh, gee willikers.

That was exhilarating.

Is this yours?

Oh yeah, it is.
Thank you. Um, okay. It's fine.

Well, thank you so much for
the sleigh ride and the sledding.

We actually have to get back
into town now.

I mean, I, uh,

I have to go to the venue to check
it out. There's an appointment...

And maybe we can get
a coffee or something.

- Sounds good. Yeah.
- Before...

...We do. Okay.

Attention all passengers
on flight 307, due in now.

Please use boarding gate 2,
as all passengers on flight 307...

Hi, Mom.

- It's good to see you.
- You too. You too.

- Hi, Dad.
- Hi, honey.

- So good to see you.
- You too, thank you so much.

Mom, Dad, this is Lexi.

- Hi.
- Oh. Isn't she adorable?

I'm also kind, creative,
industrious, and intelligent.

Thatta girl!

- You guys ready to go?
- Yeah, I think so.

- Ready? So good to see you.
- I'm so glad, that took forever.

- It was long, but good.
- Yeah?

We got here.

Thanks, that's plenty.

So, since you and Mark are still so
close, I'm assuming the divorce...

Was because I couldn't love him
the way that he should be loved.

Ah. And you felt
something was missing too.

If I would've known
before I married him...

I just...I thought that's what love felt like.
You know? I thought that was it.

Well, hey, that's love too.
It's a best-friend love.

Your, um...your tattoo...
There's a story there, isn't there?

Uh, yeah, there...there is.

Oh, you don't have to talk
about it if you don't want to.

No, it's okay.

Um...

When I was a kid, my mom used
to call me Rosita. Didn't think anything of it,

just thought it was a cute nickname.

But when I was 16,
she was battling cancer.

She didn't win. When she was going
through chemo and everything,

we would talk a lot.

It was like she wanted to give me a
lifetime of wisdom before she was gone.

So the tattoo is a daily reminder
of something she told me.

She said that the right people
would fight through my thorns

to get to the rose.

Well, you're among farm people now.

We'll fight through a field of brambles
just to get to a single blackberry.

A couple thorns ain't got
nothing on me.

Uh, maybe we should go to the venue.

Yeah, uh, get there a little early.
Take ourselves on a private tour.

Oh...

Like, now?

Yeah, let's go.

Psst. Let me get one of
those chocolate mint things.

Extra whip?

Yeah.

Last year I thought about
how things can come around just like that

If everyone is here
to celebrate one day

If every time the snow is falling
down and it is cold outside

Gather 'round the fireplace

And no one cares about yesterday

My favorite holiday

It means so much more
than words can say

And I claim, that Christmas
is a magic day

Hmm, not bad!

It's very pretty.

Yeah, I can work with this.

I can't believe this!

That Christmas is a magic day

You okay back there, slow poke?

Wow.

This is breathtaking.

It's very Heather.

Yeah, it's perfect.

Really is.

It was hard to get too, you know.

I bet it was. There are not
a lot of options in this town.

Well, even if there were a lot of options,
I think I'd still choose this one.

Excuse me, Miss Santos.

Uh, yes. Yes. I was just making sure
everything is ready for tomorrow.

It looks perfect.

I'm sorry, Ms. Santos,
I've been trying to call you all day.

I left you two messages.

I'm not sure how this happened,
but um...

we are double-booked for
tomorrow and since the other

party answered my call
and I couldn't reach you,

I had no other choice but to give
the venue to the Mendelsteins.

No, no. You've got to be kidding me.

No, but we will refund
your complete deposit.

No. I don't want the damn deposit.
I need this venue for tomorrow.

I know. I'm sorry...

but I have a lot of work
to do because nobody else

does anything around here but me.

Oh no, Sue, I am so sorry,
but it's going to be okay.

We'll figure something out.

Ugh.

I don't know what I was thinking,
letting myself get distracted.

No. What? It's not your fault.

No. This...this was a mistake.

Yeah. I mean mistakes happen, but I'm
sure there's something that we can do.

This is what always happens to me.
I let my guard down.

I let someone in and I lose
focus of what's really important.

My job.

The most important thing
is for me to fix this for them.

Let me help.

No, no, not now.
This--whatever this is, Jane. I'm sorry.

I've made a mess
and I have to fix it.

I can't do this right now.

Sue, I'm--I'm sorry.

Mom, don't worry.

Sue has everything under control.

She is the best, isn't she?

Mark? Mark?
I don't know what to do.

I just had the most amazing time
with Sue and I really thought

that we had this connection.
You know?

Like, I really thought
she could be the one...

the magic and all the stuff,

and then she missed a call
from the wedding venue

because we were sledding
and now she lost the venue

and she blames me.

Hi, Mom.

Lexi?

Jane. We're in the car.

I'd like you to meet my in-laws.

Sorry, Jane. I have to
figure out some things.

- We'll drop Lexi off on the way home.
- Mark...

Mark, wait, don't-don't-no...

You cannot walk
away from me right now.

What are you doing?

Miss Santos, my deepest apologies.

Oh, your apologies.
I don't want apologies.

I want the venue. Okay?

This bride is going to kill me if she
doesn't have this venue

that we agreed upon months ago.

I do understand,
but I left you two messages.

I don't think
you do understand, okay?

I'm a Scorpio with an Aries moon
and I will not take no

for an answer, all right?

I tried leaving you
messages and I wanted...

Oh, you tried leaving me messages...

This is pointless!
What are we going to do?

Have the wedding in a barn?

Jane, I talked to your mom.

She's feeling a little bit tired,

so she's not going to make it to
our annual Christmas Eve, Eve party,

but you're still coming, aren't you?

I completely forgot. I just had the
worst day and needed to walk it off...

Well, there's no bad feeling that can't be
fixed with a little homemade

venison roast and egg nog.

Where are you at, sweetheart?

I'll come scoop you right up.

You know, Jane, there's a lesson
in everything that He hands you.

Sometimes it's just not
the lesson that you think.

Who?

What who?
Who hands you?

He hands you.
He who?

Oh...

Yes. Hi, my name is Sue Santos.

I'm wondering if you have availability
tomorrow for 75 guests. No.

No, that's fine. Um...thank you, anyway.
Happy holidays.

This is really wonderful.
Thank you so much for having me.

Oh, not at all.
There's always room at our table.

Oh, hey. No-no. What's the most
disgusting thing you've ever eaten?

That's easy. Uncle Arnie's fruitcake.

This dinner.

It tastes like stale
jelly beans and sawdust.

- Be nice, Noelle, at least he tries.
- God bless him.

Oh, Dad, this reminds me of the time

that you took Uncle Arnie ice skating
when he was like Joy's age.

Tell the story, Dad, tell it.

I was 11.

It was the first day of Christmas vacation
and we jumped out of bed that morning

and grabbed our skates and we
headed out to Miller's Pond.

And your dad just happened to be
up there ice fishing that day.

Really? He never told me that story.

Hm. It's a good one.
The sky was clear blue.

The sun was warm
on our ruddy cheeks.

We got to the pond and left
our jackets on the bank.

I started skating out and so did Arnie.

Then Arnie got scared.

I hollered back "It's fine, ya big sissy!"
You know, teasing.

So he started skating out behind me.

Suddenly I hear a huge crack
and my legs are underwater.

I'm holding on for dear life.

Arnie got down on his belly
and scooched over to me

and he reaches out his hand.

He gives me a pull
and I just rocket out of that water

and slide across the ice to safety.

But when I look back, there's Arnie,

right in the same hole I was.

This is where your dad shows up, Jane.

As I'm standing there
not knowing what to do,

there comes your dad
sliding across the ice on his belly.

He pulled Arnie out of there and got him
over to where I could warm him up

with his coat.

Thank goodness we
were both there that day, you know?

Was Arnie okay?

Oh yeah. He was just fine
aside from the chronic headaches.

But ever since that day, Arnie
followed your dad around like a puppy.

Then it was my job
to keep an eye on Arnie.

So I suppose that's how me
and your dad became friends.

And that's why your dad watched over
Arnie and Mr. Givens from there on out.

And that's why when you were born,

Mr. Givens promised your dad
that he'd watch out for you,

just the best that he could.

And then we all
sort of just became a big family.

I--I had no idea.

Your dad would be proud of you, Jane.

To Mr. McSurely.

And Dad.

To family.

My mom wanted me to give you these.
We're getting rid of some of 'em.

Oh, thank you.

Are you okay?

Remember, Jane, no two
snowflakes are alike,

but on the inside,
they're all just frozen water.

- Thank you.
- Goodnight.

Goodnight.

I'm so tired.

I know. Go, go on.

Mark, I'm so sorry.

It doesn't matter, Jane. It's a mess.

The only venue
Sue can find is a VFW hall.

Look, maybe if we try to call--

It's not "we" anymore, Jane.

Looks like Grandma
tucked you in already.

You had kind of an adventure, huh?

Eh, it was okay.

Nana and Papa Adams are
nice, but I'm a little sick of the car.

We stopped for dinner though.
That was good.

You should maybe finish up this
chapter and get a little sleep.

You should get some sleep too.
Tomorrow's going to be a very busy day.

I love you.

Love you too.

Mom, what's wrong?

Ahh.

Honey...

we're losing the farm.

What?

How?

Well, some costs went up and the
number of boarders went down.

We lost some lessons.

We've just never been able to catch up.

But, I don't understand.
I thought we own this place.

Well, we did...

but then we had to take out a second
mortgage to pay medical bills.

Mom, I didn't know.

Of course you didn't know.
I didn't tell you.

You had so much on your plate.

How long do we have?

I have to sign the papers tomorrow.

- I'm sorry.
- It's all right, sweetheart.

I'm sorry. I didn't notice.
I failed. I failed you.

No...you did not fail.

You mustn't say that.
You have been working so hard.

You've done everything that you could.
I should have told you.

I know I should have told you.
I just--I don't know.

I guess it was my way
of trying to protect you.

I know how much you still
miss Dad, and I miss him.

Yeah, but we're going to be okay.

We're just going to make some changes.

- Oh...
- It's just so much change.

I know. I know.

But we will make it through this.

We will be fine. Okay?

Okay. Okay. Yeah.

So first...Christmas.

No, first, a wedding.

Oh yeah. There's the Big Dipper.

Um, oh, and there's the Little Dipper.

- Um...
- You're a little dipper.

Hey. Oh, and there's the North Star.

You can tell because,
you know, it's north.

Oh. Hey.
Looks like someone's in the barn.

Should we go say hi?

Oh man. I heard Mrs. McSurley
is making a ton

of Christmas cookies this year.

Hers are the best.

Yeah, they are.
Let's go.

I'll race ya!

Wait! Wait!

Hey, Zoe.

How you doing, buddy?

We've been together a long time, huh?

You've been here, what, six,
seven years?

It's a long time.

We've been through a lot together,
especially since Dad died.

We were there for each
other though, huh, buddy?

I don't want you to go.

I don't want you
to go to some fancy stable.

I want you to stay here.

I want you and Dandy and Bandit
and Pedro to stay here with me.

I'm really going to miss you.

It's all going to be okay.
We're going to be okay. I promise.

It's just a little change, that's all.

Go on, okay.

I am going to do it.

We're going to do it here.

I really can't do anything right?

I am so sorry, Dad.

I keep trying to make you proud...

and I just keep failing...

and now we're going to lose
everything because of me.

I can't do this anymore.

I can't do this.

Are you
thinking what I'm thinking?

- Definitely!
- Yes!

We should ask Mrs. McSurley
if she has any snickerdoodle left?

No.

Do you remember what Jane
used to tell us about holiday magic

makes everything brighter?

We should show her that.

We should get mom and dad.

Yeah, and everyone else.

Is it Christmas?

It sure feels like it.

You have some good friends, Jane.

Joseph, what are you doing here?

To do the morning chores.
My gift to you.

You have much more
important work to do.

Mom! Mom!

Hello?

Your phone works?

Jane? Why would you call me
if you thought it didn't work?

I hoped it did.

I got a replacement right away.

Listen, can we talk another time?

I really have a lot to do...
with the wedding,

it's just--everything is falling apart.

Sue, wait, just listen. I have a venue.

It's not exactly what you pictured,
but it's gorgeous.

The barn.

It's the barn and it's ready
for a wedding.

Heather, get the bridal party
to Jane's by 10.

Change of venue.

Woo!

Woop!

Where's the mimosas?

This is exciting.

I am so sorry.
I was just going to grab the, uh...

No, no, it's okay.

Thanks.

Can you help me with the...

Oh yeah, sure.

Mm.

You look lovely.

Jane, can I say something?

Oh, uh, yeah.

I want to apologize.

I've been insecure about
your relationship with Mark,

but you're a good mom
and you're a good friend to Mark.

Thank you, Heather.

I can't tell you how
much that means to me.

My family is everything to me...

and I'm so happy that you're
going to be a part of it now.

I am so sorry.

I'm just really
allergic to baby's breath.

Whoo!

Oh, Mary Ellen, what have you done?

Friends and family.

We are all gathered here today to
witness the joining in wedded bliss

of Mark and Heather.

Today, we affirm these bonds
both publicly and formally.

Mark, do you take Heather
to be your life partner,

to love and to honor
as long as you shall live?

I do.

And Heather, do you take
Mark to be your life partner,

to love and to honor the rest
of the days of your life?

I do.

I now pronounce you
husband and wife.

You may kiss the bride.

In this life, you walk down many roads

Ain't no compass
showing you which way to go

In this journey

You're gonna to have to choose

Sometimes take the road that
you haven't always used

It's a stable love
that keeps us together

Wrapped up so tight
in this ice cold weather

It's a kind of magic
that glows in your eyes

And it ain't just snow
that's falling tonight

It's perfect.

Is it?

You know, I think I got too focused
on how things should be that I lost sight

of how they could be.

And how's that?

More perfect.

I've been taking pictures all night
and I've got at least twelve couples

asking me to book this quaint country
barn for their wedding.

So...do you think a partnership
is something you might consider?

Oh...

I mean, we could book it out
every weekend for weddings,

parties, bat mitzvahs, quinceaneras.

I mean, I don't know.

I don't know the first thing
about event planning.

I know a girl.

Oh, Andrea.

Mary Ellen.

This is absolutely gorgeous.

It is lovely, isn't it?

Well, you might as well
just give it to me now.

You got to open it...

in order for it to be effective.

Right now, Andrea?
It's not a very good time.

I'm sorry I couldn't do more.

What is this?

It's a check.

It's sort of a deposit for when
I book this venue for my wedding.

When are you getting married?

I don't know. I'm not engaged yet.

But I heard this place
is booking up fast

and with the income coming in
and...my deposit,

we should be able
to stop the foreclosure.

Oh my...

I guess it turned out
pretty fantastic, huh?

It really did.

You know, I was shocked
when you called me this morning

and, then I was grateful.

I was really about to give up.

I was about to give up too,
but I had someone, or someones,

watching over me.

So, Mark and Heather finally said "I do".

How are you feeling now that it's real?

Well, I feel like it's all still messy
and up in the air,

but I just know it's going
to be okay, you know?

I do.

All the presents are open

But the feeling lives on

The twinkling lights grow brighter

Christmas magic has dawned

And I can't help but ask myself

What did I ever do

To deserve a love as vibrant as you?

Faces new and familiar
have walked through the doors

I can feel the spirit
as strong as I felt it before

Now I can be myself

And to myself I'm true

Because I have a love
as vibrant as you

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh,
a love as vibrant as you

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh,
a love as vibrant as you

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh,
a love as vibrant as you

One day we'll look back on
the photos we took this year

Will we still wear the same smiles?

Will we spread the same cheer?

Cause I know this love in me
will last the whole year through

Because I have a love
as vibrant as you

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh,
a love as vibrant as you

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh,
a love as vibrant as you

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh,
a love as vibrant as you
