this way
85
00:04:26,650 --> 00:04:33,000
[Music]
86
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,780
this is where I think we should place
87
00:04:36,780 --> 00:04:39,240
the installation
88
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,520
I must tell you
89
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,639
we are all very eager to see what you
90
00:04:44,639 --> 00:04:48,540
have in mind Christmas traditions are
91
00:04:48,540 --> 00:04:52,400
very important to us here
92
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,800
foreign
93
00:04:54,860 --> 00:04:58,860
place to honor the legacy of Christmas
94
00:04:58,860 --> 00:05:00,960
at the Plaza then
95
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,500
our Historic Oak Room about that I was
96
00:05:04,500 --> 00:05:06,180
hoping you could give me some idea of
97
00:05:06,180 --> 00:05:08,520
what you're really looking for I was
98
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:09,540
thinking
99
00:05:09,540 --> 00:05:12,479
a sort of Museum
100
00:05:12,479 --> 00:05:15,919
Art Gallery combination you know panels
101
00:05:15,919 --> 00:05:19,680
and pedestals and of course there will
102
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,540
be an opening night party with champagne
103
00:05:21,540 --> 00:05:23,699
that's not quite what I mean when I'm
104
00:05:23,699 --> 00:05:25,199
developing an archival history
105
00:05:25,199 --> 00:05:27,840
presentation I like to have some kind of
106
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:30,180
point of view you know like a through
107
00:05:30,180 --> 00:05:33,419
line or A Christmas Story well not
108
00:05:33,419 --> 00:05:36,419
exactly it that sounds perfect what does
109
00:05:36,419 --> 00:05:39,419
we need a Christmas story and since
110
00:05:39,419 --> 00:05:41,699
you're the expert I'm going to let you
111
00:05:41,699 --> 00:05:45,240
come up with one I'm not really a story
112
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,460
person ideal in fact
113
00:05:50,580 --> 00:05:52,440
you see the thing about history is you
114
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,180
don't have to make anything up
115
00:05:54,180 --> 00:05:56,699
the stories already happened
116
00:05:56,699 --> 00:06:00,860
that just makes it easier then
117
00:06:02,340 --> 00:06:04,550
oh yeah
118
00:06:04,550 --> 00:06:07,520
[Music]
119
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,880
our records room is this way
120
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,680
all you have to do is go through the
121
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,720
hotel files there are plenty of
122
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,800
references to Christmas parties and tree
123
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,380
lighting carol singing special holiday
124
00:06:22,380 --> 00:06:24,539
events
125
00:06:24,539 --> 00:06:27,919
it shouldn't be very difficult
126
00:06:34,650 --> 00:06:36,300
[Music]
127
00:06:36,300 --> 00:06:40,500
wow yes isn't it something most of these
128
00:06:40,500 --> 00:06:42,419
are pre-internet so they haven't been
129
00:06:42,419 --> 00:06:46,080
scanned or digitally preserved these are
130
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,720
the original files how far back does all
131
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,060
of this date I don't really know and I
132
00:06:51,060 --> 00:06:52,139
don't think anything would have been
133
00:06:52,139 --> 00:06:55,560
thrown out so could be over a hundred
134
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,300
years worth
135
00:06:57,300 --> 00:07:00,060
well I'll leave you to it which ones are
136
00:07:00,060 --> 00:07:02,460
the Christmas files
137
00:07:02,460 --> 00:07:04,680
I have no idea
138
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,020
you mean they're not categorized
139
00:07:07,020 --> 00:07:10,220
well no that's why you're here
140
00:07:10,220 --> 00:07:13,600

[Music]
142
00:07:14,940 --> 00:07:16,500
going through all these records could
143
00:07:16,500 --> 00:07:19,500
take a year at least Well you certainly
144
00:07:19,500 --> 00:07:21,960
don't have a year opening night of the
145
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,560

00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,639
working together this Christmas
160
00:08:08,479 --> 00:08:10,199
what are you supposed to be looking for
161
00:08:10,199 --> 00:08:12,979
Christmas
162
00:08:13,020 --> 00:08:15,840
what kind of Christmas
163
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,599
like celebrations events photographs
164
00:08:18,599 --> 00:08:20,699
anything that connects the plaza to the
165
00:08:20,699 --> 00:08:23,580
holiday season what is that to create an
166
00:08:23,580 --> 00:08:25,440
historic installation celebrating the
167
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,080
legacy of Christmas at the plaza
168
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,360
oh like a museum
169
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,520
like a museum
170
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,080
you do that for a living
171
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,179
yeah I have degrees in anthropology
172
00:08:36,179 --> 00:08:38,339
Urban archeology and social genealogical
173
00:08:38,339 --> 00:08:40,700
studies
174
00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:43,559
careful one more degree you have a fever
175
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,660
I think that if people respect the past
176
00:08:45,660 --> 00:08:48,120
it helps them understand the present
177
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:49,560
they say about people who hang on to the
178
00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:51,680
Past
179
00:08:52,500 --> 00:08:54,959
they're afraid of the future
180
00:08:54,959 --> 00:08:58,160
I don't think that's true
181
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,860
can you not touch anything please
182
00:09:04,860 --> 00:09:06,060
sorry
183
00:09:06,060 --> 00:09:07,860
in historic terms we call this an
184
00:09:07,860 --> 00:09:09,300
artifact
185
00:09:09,300 --> 00:09:11,880
New York terms we call this a newspaper
186
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,959
don't drive trees to put up
187
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,300
so we're supposed to be working together
188
00:09:18,300 --> 00:09:21,779

189
00:09:21,779 --> 00:09:24,000

himself

Dennis Cass don't start

204
00:10:07,260 --> 00:10:09,899
you've been dating for how long two
205
00:10:09,899 --> 00:10:13,200
years next week exactly and that finger
206
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,360
is still bare and I'm okay with that of
207
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:16,500
course you are because you're afraid of
208
00:10:16,500 --> 00:10:18,420
commitment you know just because you
209
00:10:18,420 --> 00:10:20,160
took one psychology course in school
210
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:24,180
doesn't mean let's try over there
211
00:10:24,180 --> 00:10:26,399
I've watched it happen every time a guy
212
00:10:26,399 --> 00:10:28,380
gets serious you bail that's why your
213
00:10:28,380 --> 00:10:29,820
relationship with Dennis has lasted this
214
00:10:29,820 --> 00:10:31,200
long you're afraid of commitment and
215
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,180
he's afraid to commit you're gonna face
216
00:10:33,180 --> 00:10:35,279
it just you're stuck in a dead end
217
00:10:35,279 --> 00:10:37,200
relationship for your information Dennis
218
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,300
has made a commitment he's taken me to
219
00:10:39,300 --> 00:10:41,640
meet his parents in Florida
220
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:46,019
really we fly out on Christmas Eve
221
00:10:46,019 --> 00:10:48,740
uh back there yeah whose idea was that
222
00:10:48,740 --> 00:10:51,540
what do you mean what to meet the
223
00:10:51,540 --> 00:10:54,180
parents I don't know well who bought the
224
00:10:54,180 --> 00:10:55,680
tickets was it Dennis or the parents
225
00:10:55,680 --> 00:10:57,959
what difference does it make maybe none
226
00:10:57,959 --> 00:10:59,880
but if Dennis bought the tickets it
227
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:01,260
means that he's serious about a
228
00:11:01,260 --> 00:11:03,899
relationship if his parents bought the
229
00:11:03,899 --> 00:11:06,079
tickets
230
00:11:06,959 --> 00:11:09,660

I remember she loved the Christmas tree

00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,100
topper that year was her favorite color
283
00:14:11,100 --> 00:14:15,060
was bright blue diamonds all around it
284
00:14:15,060 --> 00:14:17,040
I promised her I'd get her her own
285
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,599

00:14:20,700 --> 00:14:21,899

life gets in the way sometimes you know
288
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,180
you know but if you want to borrow that
289
00:14:27,180 --> 00:14:30,300
for your project actually I don't think
290
00:14:30,300 --> 00:14:32,399
this is my project
291
00:14:32,399 --> 00:14:34,620
thank you pardon yeah I don't think this
292
00:14:34,620 --> 00:14:36,420
is going to work out after all I need to
293
00:14:36,420 --> 00:14:38,760
go talk to Amanda you're not thinking of
294
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,579
quitting are you it's probably for the
295
00:14:41,579 --> 00:14:42,899
best
296
00:14:42,899 --> 00:14:45,199
well I hope you'll reconsider
297
00:14:45,199 --> 00:14:47,279
opportunities like this don't come along
298
00:14:47,279 --> 00:14:48,540
every day
299
00:14:48,540 --> 00:14:50,699
nobody regrets the ones they take just
300
00:14:50,699 --> 00:14:52,860
the ones they don't
301
00:14:52,860 --> 00:14:54,540
anyway I'm sure
302
00:14:54,540 --> 00:14:56,450

so you're not the only one who respects
309
00:15:19,980 --> 00:15:22,079
the past
310
00:15:22,079 --> 00:15:25,380

314
00:15:32,820 --> 00:15:34,680
so you're done for the day
315
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,839
actually I've decided to step away from
316
00:15:36,839 --> 00:15:39,199
the project
317
00:15:39,839 --> 00:15:41,880

00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,420
too bad I mean I know Amanda will be
320
00:15:48,420 --> 00:15:50,760
really disappointed I know and I feel
321
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,680
awful about it but
322
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,500
like you said the plaza deserves the
323
00:15:55,500 --> 00:15:57,000
best and I just
324
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,680
I don't think I'm the right person for
325
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,180
this project
326
00:16:00,180 --> 00:16:02,880

it but where's the attraction I think
435
00:22:08,460 --> 00:22:09,720
it's important to understand the way
436
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,760
politics and social mores have impacted
437

it's the real reason

00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:20,760
the real reason

00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,100

my dad was in the Diplomatic Corps so we
445
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:35,460
moved around a lot when I was young
446
00:22:35,460 --> 00:22:36,600
there was always
447
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,120
a different town a different school I
448
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:41,520
never knew where we were going to be or
449
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,418
what was going to happen
450
00:22:46,020 --> 00:22:47,820
I started studying history
451
00:22:47,820 --> 00:22:49,559
felt safe
452
00:22:49,559 --> 00:22:50,760
because you always knew exactly what was
453
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,440
going to happen next
454
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:53,820
when you can't depend on the future
455
00:22:53,820 --> 00:22:56,100
there's something kind of comforting
456
00:22:56,100 --> 00:22:58,140
about the past
457
00:22:58,140 --> 00:23:01,100
still feel that way
458
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,440

00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,020

ever been a tree topper in 1969 that's
762
00:39:48,540 --> 00:39:51,480
impossible it's a hotel tradition that's
763

00:39:54,060 --> 00:39:57,240
the hotel Christmas timeline it makes us

aha the plaza tree topper I knew I heard
866
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,140
this story before it's part of my family
867
00:44:40,140 --> 00:44:42,480
history back when my grandpa used to own
868
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:45,119
the business we buy most of the stuff
869
00:44:45,119 --> 00:44:47,520
but back in the day I had an uncle who
870
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:50,040
works here he used to design and build
871
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:52,140
everything by hand so this would have
872
00:44:52,140 --> 00:44:53,339
been a really important commission for
873
00:44:53,339 --> 00:44:56,099
him wow so well the plaza would usually
874
00:44:56,099 --> 00:44:57,660
sell replicas of their annual tree
875
00:44:57,660 --> 00:45:00,060
topper in the gift shop so that would
876
00:45:00,060 --> 00:45:01,020
have been a big boost for the family
877
00:45:01,020 --> 00:45:03,420
business he said would have been
878
00:45:03,420 --> 00:45:06,300
defend nobody really knows
879
00:45:06,300 --> 00:45:07,859
apparently my uncle just lost interest
880
00:45:07,859 --> 00:45:10,500
and didn't finish it but you know why
881
00:45:10,500 --> 00:45:11,640
no
882
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:13,619
we stopped designing and never made
883
00:45:13,619 --> 00:45:15,900
another Christmas decoration he quit the
884
00:45:15,900 --> 00:45:17,720
whole family business

00:45:17,720 --> 00:45:21,740

design of course that was a long time
909
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,780

the way it's new oh very nice what's the
956
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:50,400
occasion dinner with Dennis he said he's
957
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:51,900

me oh what do you think it is I don't
959
00:48:54,599 --> 00:48:56,720
know
960
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:58,260
do you think he's gonna ask you to marry
961
00:48:58,260 --> 00:49:00,540
him Cassidy that's the last thing I
962
00:49:00,540 --> 00:49:03,359
think he's gonna do no it makes sense

almost your two-year dating anniversary

966
00:49:11,180 --> 00:49:13,680
and if he does I will officially take
967
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:15,240
back every bad thing I've ever said
968
00:49:15,240 --> 00:49:17,700
about him aren't we kind of jumping to
969
00:49:17,700 --> 00:49:21,359
conclusions here maybe but maybe not
970
00:49:21,359 --> 00:49:24,480

971
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:27,650

00:50:18,720 --> 00:50:20,520
give up that Christmas project and we
989
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:21,780

00:50:21,780 --> 00:50:23,640
that be great
991
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:27,859

00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:41,520
you know what Lana I'm not well
1129
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:43,800
Christmas isn't just about cookies and
1130
00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:45,180
sing-alongs
1131
00:57:45,180 --> 00:57:47,160
it's also about reflecting on the past
1132
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:48,059
year
1133
00:57:48,059 --> 00:57:51,720
here we are where are we going maybe
1134
00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:56,118
this is that kind of Christmas for you
1135
00:57:56,220 --> 00:57:59,058
thank you
1136
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:02,720
Merry Christmas
1137
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:15,839
[Music]
1138
00:58:15,839 --> 00:58:18,420
sorry about that my family gets a little
1139
00:58:18,420 --> 00:58:21,420
crazy sometimes are you kidding I loved
1140
00:58:21,420 --> 00:58:24,119
them my mom really liked you too I could
1141
00:58:24,119 --> 00:58:26,819
tell she made me feel pretty special
1142
00:58:26,819 --> 00:58:28,200
you said you hadn't brought anybody home
1143
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:31,020
for Christmas in a long time
1144
00:58:31,020 --> 00:58:32,880
let me guess
1145
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:34,920
she mentioned Alicia
1146
00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:37,819
just once
1147
00:58:38,099 --> 00:58:41,720
my mom talks too much sometimes
1148
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:45,180
Alicia and I were engaged
1149
00:58:45,180 --> 00:58:47,160
until she decided there was no real
1150
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:48,420
future with a guy who decorates
1151
00:58:48,420 --> 00:58:51,000
Christmas trees I'm sorry
1152
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:53,099
it's all right I should be grateful I
1153
00:58:53,099 --> 00:58:54,240
guess
1154
00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:57,540
that's a very healthy attitude
1155
00:58:57,540 --> 00:58:59,460
actually don't be at Christmas
1156
00:58:59,460 --> 00:59:00,900
so every year instead of thinking about
1157
00:59:00,900 --> 00:59:02,400
it I decorated
1158
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:03,839
something like a heartbreak to really
1159
00:59:03,839 --> 00:59:06,740
help your business take off
1160
00:59:11,780 --> 00:59:15,960
oh what is it looks like we got to take
1161
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:18,440
a detour
1162
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:22,570
[Music]
1163
00:59:22,940 --> 00:59:27,859

00:59:31,740 --> 00:59:34,578

1166
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:38,520

00:59:40,380 --> 00:59:42,240
wattage polarity due to an oxygen breach
1169
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:44,400
I'm sorry
1170
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:47,359
so we pulled out the plug
1171
00:59:50,220 --> 00:59:53,118
oh beautiful Nick
1172
00:59:54,599 --> 00:59:55,920
you know this place used to be a
1173
00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:56,880
nightclub
1174
00:59:56,880 --> 00:59:59,520
really uh-huh it's called the Persian
1175
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:01,319
Room it's one of the most elegant places
1176
01:00:01,319 --> 01:00:03,780
in the city so now you're used to seeing
1177
01:00:03,780 --> 01:00:04,559
here
1178
01:00:04,559 --> 01:00:06,000
who
1179
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:09,660
you're kidding right a little
1180
01:00:09,660 --> 01:00:11,040
and this place right here this used to
1181
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:12,660
be the Dance Floor
1182
01:00:12,660 --> 01:00:14,760
my grandparents met here
1183
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:16,619
really
1184
01:00:16,619 --> 01:00:18,359
it's Christmas Eve
1185
01:00:18,359 --> 01:00:20,460
she was a nurse and he was away on Shore
1186
01:00:20,460 --> 01:00:23,220
leaf and he asked her to dance
1187
01:00:23,220 --> 01:00:25,640
like this
1188
01:00:25,980 --> 01:00:28,980
and they danced together all night
1189
01:00:28,980 --> 01:00:30,359
and when the sun came up they made a
1190
01:00:30,359 --> 01:00:31,619
promise to each other that when he got
1191
01:00:31,619 --> 01:00:33,660
back from the war
1192
01:00:33,660 --> 01:00:36,000
they would never be a part again
1193
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:38,160
they kept that promise the rest of their
1194
01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:40,079
lives
1195
01:00:40,079 --> 01:00:41,760
and so I come here every year on
1196
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:43,380
Christmas Eve and I have a glass of
1197
01:00:43,380 --> 01:00:45,720

1261
01:04:23,040 --> 01:04:24,480
that's not true I meant for that to
1262
01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:25,680
happen but

1274
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:50,880
I'm in a relationship and I can't let my
1275
01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:54,500
feelings for you get in the way
1276
01:04:54,900 --> 01:04:57,180
mine either huh
1277
01:04:57,180 --> 01:05:01,619
Nick don't say that I'm sorry I just I
1278
01:05:01,619 --> 01:05:02,940
promised myself I wouldn't be a sore
1279
01:05:02,940 --> 01:05:05,040
loser and I guess that's a little easier
1280
01:05:05,040 --> 01:05:07,640
said than done
1281
01:05:10,500 --> 01:05:13,940

right
1293
01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:56,520
the thing is
1294
01:05:56,520 --> 01:05:57,780
I was thinking about the other night
1295
01:05:57,780 --> 01:06:01,880
what about it I was thinking about
1296
01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:05,720
why you left
1297
01:06:05,819 --> 01:06:06,960
if you don't want to write the paper
1298
01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:09,240
with me I understand it's not about the
1299
01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:10,319
paper
1300
01:06:10,319 --> 01:06:12,859
it's not
1301
01:06:19,140 --> 01:06:21,059
who bought the tickets
1302
01:06:21,059 --> 01:06:24,119
what do you mean for a trip to Florida
1303
01:06:24,119 --> 01:06:25,920

my parents
1305
01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:31,939
it's only fair it was their idea why
1306
01:06:34,319 --> 01:06:36,180
Dennis
1307
01:06:36,180 --> 01:06:39,720

01:06:58,140 --> 01:06:59,579
a commitment because that meant thinking
1315
01:06:59,579 --> 01:07:03,020
about the future and that was scary
1316
01:07:04,140 --> 01:07:05,940
but I've seen what the future can look
1317
01:07:05,940 --> 01:07:09,380
like and I'm not scared anymore
1318
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:12,960
are you talking about
1319
01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:15,780
marriage
1320
01:07:15,780 --> 01:07:17,760
I don't know exactly what I'm talking
1321
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:19,200
about Dennis
1322
01:07:19,200 --> 01:07:21,839
but whatever it is
1323
01:07:21,839 --> 01:07:25,200
I know it's not this
1324
01:07:25,200 --> 01:07:27,000
wait
1325
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:29,400
are you breaking up with me
1326
01:07:29,400 --> 01:07:31,140
I'm not sure there was anything to break
1327
01:07:31,140 --> 01:07:32,460
up
1328
01:07:32,460 --> 01:07:37,099
are you sure about this I am
1329
01:07:41,099 --> 01:07:43,440
I'm
1330
01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:46,079
sorry I
1331
01:07:46,079 --> 01:07:47,700
I guess I always knew this was going to
1332
01:07:47,700 --> 01:07:50,760
happen I just I didn't want to admit it
1333
01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:52,980
take care of yourself Dennis
1334
01:07:52,980 --> 01:07:55,200
you too
1335
01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:57,720

oh miss Cooper
1340
01:08:36,799 --> 01:08:40,679
I have a package for you
1341
01:08:40,679 --> 01:08:42,600
it was left here sometime last night
1342
01:08:42,600 --> 01:08:44,640
with your name on it
1343
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:48,380
I didn't see a card or anything
1344
01:08:53,219 --> 01:08:55,140
I know who sent it
1345
01:08:55,140 --> 01:08:56,339
thank you
1346
01:08:56,339 --> 01:08:58,799
Oh I thought maybe you'd like it
1347
01:08:58,799 --> 01:09:01,979
but you said I did I stopped making
1348
01:09:01,979 --> 01:09:04,979
things like that a long time ago
1349
01:09:04,979 --> 01:09:08,540
you never said why you quit
1350
01:09:08,698 --> 01:09:11,479
gloves
1351
01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:15,198
it was
1352
01:09:15,198 --> 01:09:18,238
1969. her name was Marie and I was going
1353
01:09:18,238 --> 01:09:19,560
to marry her
1354
01:09:19,560 --> 01:09:22,020
and I was making the tree topper that
1355
01:09:22,020 --> 01:09:24,960
year in her honor and was going to
1356
01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:27,319
propose to her on Christmas Eve but her
1357
01:09:27,319 --> 01:09:30,899
parents didn't approve of us for me
1358
01:09:30,899 --> 01:09:33,060
actually so they thought of me as
1359
01:09:33,060 --> 01:09:34,979
someone who made Christmas decorations
1360
01:09:34,979 --> 01:09:37,259
and what kind of Life Could I provide
1361
01:09:37,259 --> 01:09:40,439
for their daughter and so they
1362
01:09:40,439 --> 01:09:42,540
made us stop seeing each other
1363
01:09:42,540 --> 01:09:45,120
every time I I looked at that thing it
1364
01:09:45,120 --> 01:09:46,920
reminded me of her
1365
01:09:46,920 --> 01:09:50,160
I couldn't throw it away so I hid it and
1366
01:09:50,160 --> 01:09:52,560
try to forget about it like it never
1367
01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:55,260
even existed at all and you never made
1368
01:09:55,260 --> 01:09:56,640
anything again
1369
01:09:56,640 --> 01:09:59,520
well my heart wasn't in it anymore
1370
01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:00,840
you know I made
1371
01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:02,520
things with love
1372
01:10:02,520 --> 01:10:04,980
I guess and I guess I just stopped
1373
01:10:04,980 --> 01:10:06,540
believing in that
1374
01:10:06,540 --> 01:10:10,460
so why are you giving this to me
1375
01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:13,640
working at the plaza all these years
1376
01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:17,820
I've seen Honeymooners and newlyweds and
1377
01:10:17,820 --> 01:10:20,219
proposals and weddings and then watching
1378
01:10:20,219 --> 01:10:24,659
this Christmas you and Nick together
1379
01:10:24,659 --> 01:10:27,000
I thought
1380
01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:29,880
maybe one shouldn't give up on love
1381
01:10:29,880 --> 01:10:35,000
can we be in love Nick and I barely know
1382
01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:38,950

when I heard your voice the other day it
1394
01:11:07,860 --> 01:11:10,199
brought back some memories so thought
1395
01:11:10,199 --> 01:11:12,980
I'd come and say hi
1396
01:11:13,980 --> 01:11:16,199
how you doing exhausted I just finished
1397
01:11:16,199 --> 01:11:18,300

01:11:49,500 --> 01:11:51,179
this would have been over for a long

01:11:52,080 --> 01:11:54,900
I know but that's in the past

I know I'm sorry but I think that's
1415
01:11:57,360 --> 01:12:00,259

with the legacy of The Plaza Hotel but I
1445
01:14:03,239 --> 01:14:05,159
also want to acknowledge another very
1446
01:14:05,159 --> 01:14:07,320
important part of that Legacy
1447
01:14:07,320 --> 01:14:10,400

Christmas is a time for celebration
1455
01:14:37,620 --> 01:14:42,480
but also maybe a time for reflection too
1456
01:14:42,480 --> 01:14:45,420
not just the history of all of this
1457
01:14:45,420 --> 01:14:47,820
but the history of all of us
1458
01:14:47,820 --> 01:14:49,860
these beautiful decorations are an
1459
01:14:49,860 --> 01:14:52,020
important part of the holidays
1460
01:14:52,020 --> 01:14:53,040
but
1461
01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:55,020
I don't think it's the decorations that
1462
01:14:55,020 --> 01:14:57,420
make Christmas Memories
1463
01:14:57,420 --> 01:15:00,600
it's the decorating
1464
01:15:00,600 --> 01:15:02,640
it's the coming together to put up a
1465
01:15:02,640 --> 01:15:05,699
tree hang some lights make cookies even
1466
01:15:05,699 --> 01:15:08,100
sing Christmas songs

sometimes badly I
1468
01:15:12,480 --> 01:15:15,120
I guess what I'm trying to say is it's
1469
01:15:15,120 --> 01:15:17,340
not just what we do that makes the
1470
01:15:17,340 --> 01:15:19,920
holidays special it's
1471
01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:22,260
it's what we are to each other
1472
01:15:22,260 --> 01:15:24,719
and it's what's in our hearts that makes
1473
01:15:24,719 --> 01:15:26,460
