Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:26,250 --> 00:00:27,667
G major.
2
00:00:38,834 --> 00:00:39,917
Great job!
3
00:01:01,667 --> 00:01:04,125
All right. Y'all ready to try?
4
00:01:08,417 --> 00:01:10,792
I've been practicing
during my lunches.
5
00:01:10,875 --> 00:01:12,155
The other teachers
are calling it
6
00:01:12,208 --> 00:01:13,375
"dinner and a show".
7
00:01:13,458 --> 00:01:15,417
You should be proud
of your progress.
8
00:01:15,500 --> 00:01:16,500
You've come a long way
9
00:01:16,542 --> 00:01:17,709
in six months.
10
00:01:17,792 --> 00:01:19,184
I can't wait to see
the look on my son's face
11
00:01:19,208 --> 00:01:21,500
when I pull out the guitar
at our Christmas party.
12
00:01:21,583 --> 00:01:22,750
And what about you, Carly?
13
00:01:22,834 --> 00:01:24,500
What are your plans
for Christmas?
14
00:01:24,583 --> 00:01:26,750
I'm heading
out of state, actually.
15
00:01:26,834 --> 00:01:28,542
A town called Waterford Creek.
16
00:01:28,625 --> 00:01:30,250
I leave tomorrow.
17
00:01:30,333 --> 00:01:32,125
Wow! Wonderful.
18
00:01:32,208 --> 00:01:33,792
Do you have any family
down there?
19
00:01:33,875 --> 00:01:35,333
Nope. No.
20
00:01:35,417 --> 00:01:37,917
I got offered a job,
just for the holidays.
21
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,583
My! Must be
a very special student.
22
00:01:40,667 --> 00:01:42,625
"Students," actually.
23
00:01:42,709 --> 00:01:44,083
I'm helping a choir prepare
24
00:01:44,166 --> 00:01:46,375
for their Christmas Eve
services.
25
00:01:46,458 --> 00:01:50,000
It'll be good to get out of town
for a little while.
26
00:01:51,959 --> 00:01:53,375
Okay.
27
00:01:53,458 --> 00:01:54,625
Uh, should we get started?
28
00:01:54,709 --> 00:01:56,417
We can call this
the dress rehearsal
29
00:01:56,500 --> 00:01:58,000
for your big show.
30
00:01:58,083 --> 00:01:59,333
Okay.
31
00:01:59,417 --> 00:02:01,875
Now, remember, don't rush.
Just nice and steady.
32
00:02:01,959 --> 00:02:04,834
Music is all about timing.
33
00:02:14,959 --> 00:02:16,041
Excuse me.
34
00:02:16,125 --> 00:02:18,208
Is this the one
for Waterford Creek?
35
00:02:19,875 --> 00:02:21,917
Thank you.
36
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,000
Thanks.
37
00:02:24,250 --> 00:02:27,667
I'll take a hot cocoa, please?
With cinnamon.
38
00:02:30,291 --> 00:02:31,583
Thank you.
39
00:02:31,667 --> 00:02:33,792
Merry Christmas.
40
00:02:35,125 --> 00:02:37,750
You don't have any cinnamon
by chance, do you?
41
00:02:37,834 --> 00:02:38,750
Mm-hmm.
42
00:02:38,834 --> 00:02:40,125
Oh. Thank you.
43
00:02:41,917 --> 00:02:42,917
Thanks.
44
00:02:51,208 --> 00:02:52,375
Oh!
45
00:02:58,125 --> 00:02:59,500
Thank you.
46
00:03:08,250 --> 00:03:10,208
My sister's
been sending me updates
47
00:03:10,291 --> 00:03:12,041
about the family tree.
Here it is...
48
00:03:12,125 --> 00:03:13,405
After they picked it at the lot,
49
00:03:13,458 --> 00:03:15,834
and after they put it
in the base...
50
00:03:15,917 --> 00:03:17,583
after they realized
it was crooked.
51
00:03:17,667 --> 00:03:19,333
The star's my favorite part.
52
00:03:37,250 --> 00:03:38,333
Oh! We're here?
53
00:04:13,417 --> 00:04:14,709
Okay.
54
00:04:14,792 --> 00:04:15,832
Merry Christmas.
55
00:04:54,583 --> 00:04:55,709
Ah!
56
00:04:56,875 --> 00:04:58,417
My big brother's home!
57
00:04:58,500 --> 00:04:59,583
Hi.
58
00:04:59,667 --> 00:05:01,375
Oh, hey, Mom.
59
00:05:01,458 --> 00:05:02,458
You're home.
60
00:05:02,500 --> 00:05:03,500
- Yep.
- Mwah!
61
00:05:03,583 --> 00:05:05,542
Hey, Riley. How you doin'?
62
00:05:40,709 --> 00:05:41,875
Is this too loud?
63
00:05:41,959 --> 00:05:43,000
You look beautiful.
64
00:05:43,083 --> 00:05:44,458
Maybe she needs some time.
65
00:05:44,542 --> 00:05:46,125
It'll be fine.
66
00:05:47,583 --> 00:05:48,458
Hello there.
67
00:05:48,542 --> 00:05:49,625
Merry Christmas!
68
00:05:49,709 --> 00:05:51,625
Um... hello!
69
00:05:51,709 --> 00:05:53,208
I'm Susan Shepard.
70
00:05:53,291 --> 00:05:56,583
Um, we spoke on the phone,
and this is my husband, John.
71
00:05:56,667 --> 00:05:58,709
Ah, from Waterford Creek Church.
72
00:05:58,792 --> 00:06:00,458
I-I'm sorry.
I wasn't expecting...
73
00:06:01,542 --> 00:06:03,125
Hi. I'm Carly.
74
00:06:03,208 --> 00:06:04,768
It's nice to meet you both
face to face.
75
00:06:04,792 --> 00:06:06,875
It is very nice to meet you,
Carly. Finally.
76
00:06:06,959 --> 00:06:09,542
Oh, yes. It is so lovely
to meet you.
77
00:06:09,625 --> 00:06:12,083
I hope that this place
I-is cozy enough,
78
00:06:12,166 --> 00:06:13,166
and if it is not,
79
00:06:13,250 --> 00:06:14,959
we can get you
anything you need.
80
00:06:15,041 --> 00:06:16,685
Now, I know that you've had
a really long trip,
81
00:06:16,709 --> 00:06:18,333
but if you're up for company,
82
00:06:18,417 --> 00:06:20,917
we would love to welcome you
to our little town.
83
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,375
And we hope you like
chicken pot pie.
84
00:06:23,458 --> 00:06:25,792
Susan's recipe.
It's delish.
85
00:06:25,875 --> 00:06:26,875
I love it.
86
00:06:26,917 --> 00:06:28,333
Um, come on in.
87
00:06:28,417 --> 00:06:29,792
Okay!
88
00:06:34,458 --> 00:06:36,208
My mom was a music teacher, too,
89
00:06:36,291 --> 00:06:38,500
so I had a guitar in my hand
before I could walk.
90
00:06:38,583 --> 00:06:39,709
Wow.
91
00:06:39,792 --> 00:06:41,267
I wish I could play
a musical instrument.
92
00:06:41,291 --> 00:06:42,333
She's being modest.
93
00:06:42,417 --> 00:06:43,667
Susan has a lovely voice.
94
00:06:43,750 --> 00:06:44,667
Oh!
95
00:06:44,750 --> 00:06:45,768
You'll hear it soon enough.
96
00:06:45,792 --> 00:06:46,851
She's a member of our choir.
97
00:06:46,875 --> 00:06:48,917
John, hush!
No shop talk.
98
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,333
Carly just got in.
99
00:06:50,417 --> 00:06:51,834
I'd actually love to hear more.
100
00:06:53,166 --> 00:06:55,041
Well, typically
the choir performs
101
00:06:55,125 --> 00:06:57,000
three songs on Christmas Eve,
102
00:06:57,125 --> 00:06:58,750
which we will leave
to your discretion.
103
00:06:58,834 --> 00:07:00,625
We're having
a Sunday service tomorrow.
104
00:07:00,709 --> 00:07:02,667
I'd love for you to join us.
105
00:07:02,750 --> 00:07:04,458
You can see
our little choir in action.
106
00:07:04,542 --> 00:07:05,834
Yeah. I'd love to.
107
00:07:11,959 --> 00:07:13,625
Ten out of ten.
108
00:07:13,709 --> 00:07:16,375
The Christmas Tree whisperer
returns.
109
00:07:16,458 --> 00:07:17,500
Excellent form!
110
00:07:17,583 --> 00:07:19,417
We'll need you to help
when we decorate
111
00:07:19,500 --> 00:07:21,291
for the "Christmas Eve-Eve"
party.
112
00:07:21,375 --> 00:07:23,375
Oh, it's your turn
to host again this year?
113
00:07:23,458 --> 00:07:25,000
I can't wait.
114
00:07:26,542 --> 00:07:28,709
Has Riley told you?
115
00:07:28,792 --> 00:07:29,583
Told me what?
116
00:07:29,667 --> 00:07:31,542
I... joined the choir.
117
00:07:31,625 --> 00:07:33,542
It's about time!
118
00:07:33,625 --> 00:07:35,959
You can't keep a voice
like yours on the sidelines.
119
00:07:36,041 --> 00:07:37,959
Wait. You've been
texting me all day.
120
00:07:38,041 --> 00:07:39,393
You sent me
15 "Christmas tree" emojis.
121
00:07:39,417 --> 00:07:40,559
You didn't think to share this?
122
00:07:40,583 --> 00:07:42,583
I was excited
to tell you in person.
123
00:07:42,667 --> 00:07:44,125
Well, I'm proud of you.
124
00:07:44,208 --> 00:07:45,458
Good things happen
125
00:07:45,542 --> 00:07:47,518
when you're brave enough
to put yourself out there.
126
00:07:47,542 --> 00:07:48,667
Susan Shepard said
127
00:07:48,750 --> 00:07:50,709
they've finally gotten
a new choir director.
128
00:07:50,792 --> 00:07:52,352
- Is that so?
- A very talented musician
129
00:07:52,417 --> 00:07:53,917
from Philadelphia.
130
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,041
Maybe she was on your bus.
131
00:07:55,125 --> 00:07:56,458
I wish I'd known.
132
00:07:56,542 --> 00:07:57,851
I'd have spent
the last five hours
133
00:07:57,875 --> 00:08:00,667
singing the praises
of her newest recruit.
134
00:08:02,041 --> 00:08:03,750
I... I talked to Dan Turner.
135
00:08:03,834 --> 00:08:05,583
He said I can
136
00:08:05,667 --> 00:08:06,792
start at the fire station
137
00:08:06,875 --> 00:08:08,142
as soon as I take
the written exam.
138
00:08:08,166 --> 00:08:10,917
That's wonderful, honey.
139
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,792
It'll be so nice
to have you home again.
140
00:08:13,875 --> 00:08:18,083
The best Christmas gift
I could ask for.
141
00:08:29,875 --> 00:08:31,125
My pick.
142
00:08:41,333 --> 00:08:43,083
Where did it go?
143
00:09:05,083 --> 00:09:07,542
I thought I might find you here.
144
00:09:07,625 --> 00:09:09,500
Matty! Ah!
145
00:09:09,583 --> 00:09:10,917
Come here!
146
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,542
Oh! Oh...
147
00:09:14,709 --> 00:09:15,709
When did you get in?
148
00:09:15,750 --> 00:09:17,583
Today! A few hours ago.
149
00:09:17,667 --> 00:09:20,750
I helped Ma with the tree,
and then you were my next stop.
150
00:09:20,834 --> 00:09:23,333
Look at you.
151
00:09:23,417 --> 00:09:25,417
Gosh, I can't believe
it's been five years.
152
00:09:26,500 --> 00:09:27,893
Your mom told me
you're moving home?
153
00:09:27,917 --> 00:09:29,792
Yeah. For good.
154
00:09:29,875 --> 00:09:31,500
I've even got a place lined up,
155
00:09:31,583 --> 00:09:32,893
but renos won't be done
until the new year,
156
00:09:32,917 --> 00:09:34,792
so I'm staying with my mom
over the holidays.
157
00:09:34,875 --> 00:09:36,458
I know. She told me.
158
00:09:38,500 --> 00:09:40,750
I really missed you.
You know that?
159
00:09:40,834 --> 00:09:43,125
I missed you, too.
160
00:09:44,125 --> 00:09:46,458
Welcome home.
161
00:09:47,667 --> 00:09:50,125
So, as Christmas approaches,
162
00:09:50,208 --> 00:09:51,500
let us remember its tenets...
163
00:09:51,583 --> 00:09:55,208
Peace on Earth
and goodwill towards men.
164
00:09:55,291 --> 00:09:56,750
Let us not discard them
165
00:09:56,834 --> 00:09:59,875
with our wrapping papers
and bows...
166
00:10:01,166 --> 00:10:03,875
but carry it with us
into the new year.
167
00:10:05,125 --> 00:10:08,834
Now I would like to invite
our choir up
168
00:10:08,917 --> 00:10:10,583
to perform
a special selection for us.
169
00:10:15,625 --> 00:10:16,667
Well, go.
170
00:11:22,458 --> 00:11:25,125
Thanks so much for being here.
171
00:11:26,959 --> 00:11:29,041
Tyler, you get bigger
every week.
172
00:11:29,125 --> 00:11:30,750
See you next Sunday.
173
00:11:32,709 --> 00:11:34,542
Hello, Carly!
174
00:11:34,625 --> 00:11:35,917
You made it.
175
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,709
How did you enjoy
the sermon today?
176
00:11:37,792 --> 00:11:38,625
Yeah, it was wonderful.
177
00:11:38,709 --> 00:11:40,291
And our choir?
178
00:11:40,375 --> 00:11:41,959
They're... um...
179
00:11:42,041 --> 00:11:43,291
A little muddled?
180
00:11:44,583 --> 00:11:46,291
Well, what they lack
in direction,
181
00:11:46,375 --> 00:11:47,625
they make up for in enthusiasm.
182
00:11:47,709 --> 00:11:49,709
I was actually hoping
we could have a quick word
183
00:11:49,792 --> 00:11:51,375
about what
your expectations are.
184
00:11:52,917 --> 00:11:54,500
I'd like to show you something.
185
00:11:59,542 --> 00:12:01,375
For generations,
186
00:12:01,458 --> 00:12:03,125
the choir has been
a treasured part
187
00:12:03,208 --> 00:12:04,667
of our congregation.
188
00:12:04,750 --> 00:12:06,208
Wow.
189
00:12:07,959 --> 00:12:10,375
Wait. Is that...
190
00:12:10,458 --> 00:12:11,500
Susan?
191
00:12:11,583 --> 00:12:12,875
Mm-hmm.
192
00:12:12,959 --> 00:12:15,500
The year we met.
193
00:12:15,583 --> 00:12:18,250
The start of my ministry.
194
00:12:18,333 --> 00:12:19,834
Voice of an angel... my Susan.
195
00:12:19,917 --> 00:12:22,333
Boy, oh, boy, when I tell you
they used to be good,
196
00:12:22,417 --> 00:12:23,709
I am not exaggerating.
197
00:12:23,792 --> 00:12:25,041
Folks from neighboring counties
198
00:12:25,125 --> 00:12:26,834
used to pile into
our little chapel
199
00:12:26,917 --> 00:12:28,917
every Sunday to hear them sing.
200
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,709
With all due respect...
201
00:12:31,792 --> 00:12:33,458
what happened?
202
00:12:34,917 --> 00:12:36,250
Have a seat.
203
00:12:36,333 --> 00:12:38,166
Okay.
204
00:12:38,250 --> 00:12:42,542
Well, we've struggled
the last few years, Carly.
205
00:12:42,625 --> 00:12:46,667
Our, uh, former choir director,
Miss Jane, she was fantastic,
206
00:12:46,750 --> 00:12:48,542
but then she moved away,
207
00:12:48,625 --> 00:12:51,208
along with some of
our stronger vocalists,
208
00:12:51,291 --> 00:12:52,750
and, well, we thought
209
00:12:52,834 --> 00:12:54,184
we'd be able to swing it
without her,
210
00:12:54,208 --> 00:12:56,625
but as you heard,
we could use the help.
211
00:12:56,709 --> 00:12:58,959
So why now?
212
00:13:00,458 --> 00:13:02,834
Um... oh. Um, well...
213
00:13:05,542 --> 00:13:08,208
when we saw your post,
214
00:13:08,291 --> 00:13:10,333
it, um...
215
00:13:10,417 --> 00:13:11,667
inspired us.
216
00:13:13,709 --> 00:13:15,935
Truly, Carly, w-we thought
you were exactly what we needed
217
00:13:15,959 --> 00:13:17,625
to rebuild the choir...
218
00:13:17,709 --> 00:13:20,291
Youthful energy, passion,
new ideas.
219
00:13:21,500 --> 00:13:25,792
So, after Susan and I
saw your profile...
220
00:13:27,250 --> 00:13:28,750
we wanted to meet you.
221
00:13:28,834 --> 00:13:31,792
Two weeks is not
a very long time.
222
00:13:31,875 --> 00:13:34,166
You sure do have
your work cut out for ya.
223
00:13:36,166 --> 00:13:39,709
I'll try my best,
but I'm no miracle worker.
224
00:13:39,792 --> 00:13:40,959
I understand.
225
00:13:41,041 --> 00:13:43,583
It's not always possible
to recapture the past,
226
00:13:43,667 --> 00:13:47,792
and I didn't show you all this
to burden you with expectations.
227
00:13:47,875 --> 00:13:50,458
Why did you show me?
228
00:13:50,542 --> 00:13:52,125
To inspire you.
229
00:13:54,375 --> 00:13:57,083
It never hurts to be reminded
of what's possible...
230
00:13:57,166 --> 00:14:00,000
especially at Christmas.
231
00:14:04,291 --> 00:14:06,959
We appreciate any guidance
you can offer,
232
00:14:07,041 --> 00:14:11,000
but, uh...
you leave the miracles to Him.
233
00:14:15,375 --> 00:14:18,208
I think that was
a very spirited rendition.
234
00:14:18,291 --> 00:14:20,625
At least we were better
than last week.
235
00:14:21,709 --> 00:14:22,834
Then we should celebrate.
236
00:14:22,917 --> 00:14:24,208
Eggnog pancakes at the Orchard?
237
00:14:24,291 --> 00:14:26,041
Oh, that sounds good to me.
238
00:14:26,125 --> 00:14:27,417
Oh!
239
00:14:27,500 --> 00:14:29,583
I think I left my purse
in our seat.
240
00:14:29,667 --> 00:14:31,333
I'll get it.
I'll meet you at the car.
241
00:14:31,417 --> 00:14:32,625
Okay.
242
00:14:33,709 --> 00:14:35,625
Bye, Matthew!
243
00:14:35,709 --> 00:14:37,250
Oh!
244
00:14:37,333 --> 00:14:38,393
- I'm so sorry!
- No, no. That was...
245
00:14:38,417 --> 00:14:39,291
I didn't see.
246
00:14:39,375 --> 00:14:40,709
I wasn't... I wasn't looking.
247
00:14:42,083 --> 00:14:45,000
Have we... met before?
248
00:14:45,083 --> 00:14:46,959
I don't think so.
I'm, uh...
249
00:14:47,041 --> 00:14:48,250
Matty!
250
00:14:48,333 --> 00:14:51,125
I see you've met
our fabulous new choir director.
251
00:14:51,208 --> 00:14:53,792
Oh. "The talented musician
from Philadelphia."
252
00:14:53,875 --> 00:14:56,041
Most people just call me Carly.
253
00:14:56,125 --> 00:14:58,125
It's nice to meet you.
254
00:14:58,208 --> 00:14:59,583
Matty.
255
00:14:59,667 --> 00:15:01,083
- "Matthew."
- Oh.
256
00:15:01,166 --> 00:15:02,625
Since when?
257
00:15:05,125 --> 00:15:07,000
Well, I've to get to work.
258
00:15:07,083 --> 00:15:08,291
Bye, all.
259
00:15:08,375 --> 00:15:09,375
Bye, Jenny.
260
00:15:12,417 --> 00:15:13,792
Nice to meet you.
261
00:15:13,875 --> 00:15:14,875
You too.
262
00:15:16,709 --> 00:15:18,834
- Oh.
- Yeah.
263
00:15:28,417 --> 00:15:30,667
So I watched
the service on Sunday,
264
00:15:30,750 --> 00:15:33,375
and I think this group
has a lot of potential.
265
00:15:33,458 --> 00:15:34,750
We're terrible.
266
00:15:34,834 --> 00:15:36,500
I wouldn't say "terrible".
267
00:15:36,583 --> 00:15:38,041
Not good at all.
268
00:15:38,125 --> 00:15:40,709
But that's why we have Carly.
She's here to help us.
269
00:15:40,792 --> 00:15:42,272
Do you really think
we can get better?
270
00:15:43,125 --> 00:15:46,125
Being a choir isn't
just about singing well.
271
00:15:46,208 --> 00:15:47,000
It's not?
272
00:15:47,083 --> 00:15:48,709
Lucky for us.
273
00:15:48,792 --> 00:15:51,208
It's about singing together.
274
00:15:51,291 --> 00:15:54,458
Right now, you guys are moving
in all different directions,
275
00:15:54,542 --> 00:15:57,083
so we have to get you
in harmony.
276
00:15:57,166 --> 00:16:00,375
Let's start with an icebreaker,
so I can get to know you.
277
00:16:00,458 --> 00:16:01,542
Uh, tell me your name
278
00:16:01,625 --> 00:16:03,709
and why you decided
to join the choir.
279
00:16:03,792 --> 00:16:04,917
I'll start.
280
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,834
I am Carly Bridges.
You can call me Carly.
281
00:16:06,917 --> 00:16:08,375
I'm a Leo,
282
00:16:08,458 --> 00:16:10,601
and I have been playing guitar
and singing my entire life.
283
00:16:10,625 --> 00:16:11,875
How about you?
284
00:16:11,959 --> 00:16:14,417
Well, as you know,
my name is Susan, Susan Shepard,
285
00:16:14,500 --> 00:16:18,458
and I have always loved
the camaraderie it brings...
286
00:16:18,542 --> 00:16:21,375
spending time with friends
287
00:16:21,458 --> 00:16:23,166
and family.
288
00:16:25,041 --> 00:16:26,375
Hi, Carly.
289
00:16:26,458 --> 00:16:28,166
Hi, Jenny.
290
00:16:28,250 --> 00:16:29,583
Well, since Dad runs the place,
291
00:16:29,667 --> 00:16:32,667
and Mom is one of
the original members,
292
00:16:32,750 --> 00:16:35,208
I didn't really have a choice
in the matter.
293
00:16:36,458 --> 00:16:38,917
Uh... I'm Tyler.
294
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,834
My mom says
team activities build character,
295
00:16:41,917 --> 00:16:42,959
and it was either this
296
00:16:43,041 --> 00:16:44,375
or ice hockey,
297
00:16:44,458 --> 00:16:46,834
and I can't skate.
298
00:16:46,917 --> 00:16:50,917
Well, I-I can't really sing
either, but, uh...
299
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,041
if you're lousy at this,
you don't lose a tooth.
300
00:16:54,583 --> 00:16:57,417
Well, nice to meet you, Tyler,
and I can't skate either.
301
00:17:00,250 --> 00:17:02,041
I'm Alice. I'm 41.
302
00:17:02,125 --> 00:17:03,917
I'm married.
303
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,625
My husband and I
have two wonderful children.
304
00:17:06,709 --> 00:17:08,500
I can show you pictures
after practice.
305
00:17:08,583 --> 00:17:12,500
Christmas is just about
my favorite time of year.
306
00:17:12,583 --> 00:17:14,017
Some folks put up
their Christmas trees
307
00:17:14,041 --> 00:17:15,542
on December 1st.
308
00:17:15,625 --> 00:17:18,458
I pull out my sweaters
and Christmas bling... heh!
309
00:17:18,542 --> 00:17:19,917
'Cause 'tis the season.
310
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,851
You'll have to show me where
I can pick up one of those.
311
00:17:21,875 --> 00:17:23,267
Oh. Well, good thing
I have a catalogue.
312
00:17:23,291 --> 00:17:24,875
I'll bring it next time.
313
00:17:34,291 --> 00:17:35,625
George.
314
00:17:35,709 --> 00:17:37,709
The strong, silent type. Well!
315
00:17:37,792 --> 00:17:39,750
You know, every group
needs a mysterious one.
316
00:17:43,792 --> 00:17:44,875
I'm Riley Wheeler.
317
00:17:44,959 --> 00:17:46,875
Um, this is my first year,
318
00:17:46,959 --> 00:17:50,959
and I joined
because I like to sing.
319
00:17:51,041 --> 00:17:52,792
Then you're in the right place.
320
00:17:52,875 --> 00:17:54,291
Okay.
321
00:17:54,375 --> 00:17:56,000
Uh, thank you, everyone.
322
00:17:56,083 --> 00:17:57,792
Shall we start with some basics?
323
00:17:57,875 --> 00:18:00,041
Just take your places
in your sections.
324
00:18:00,125 --> 00:18:01,125
Okay.
325
00:18:11,917 --> 00:18:13,125
Okay, you know what?
326
00:18:13,208 --> 00:18:15,083
Uh, raise your hand
if you are a tenor.
327
00:18:16,208 --> 00:18:17,208
No. No.
328
00:18:17,250 --> 00:18:18,250
- No.
- What?
329
00:18:19,166 --> 00:18:20,333
Okay.
330
00:18:20,417 --> 00:18:22,417
Um... Alice, are you
an alto or a soprano?
331
00:18:22,500 --> 00:18:24,291
You know...
332
00:18:24,375 --> 00:18:26,500
I have always wondered.
333
00:18:29,083 --> 00:18:30,458
Okay.
334
00:19:04,709 --> 00:19:05,959
Okay.
335
00:19:12,792 --> 00:19:14,083
Pro tip?
336
00:19:14,166 --> 00:19:15,458
Just leave him be.
337
00:19:15,542 --> 00:19:18,834
George likes to...
keep to himself.
338
00:19:18,917 --> 00:19:20,625
Thanks.
339
00:19:28,625 --> 00:19:30,458
Now what's got you
looking so pensive?
340
00:19:30,542 --> 00:19:32,417
Aw, my Christmas Eve sermon.
341
00:19:32,500 --> 00:19:33,709
Mm.
342
00:19:33,792 --> 00:19:35,542
Just waiting on
a little inspiration.
343
00:19:35,625 --> 00:19:37,625
Thank you.
344
00:19:37,709 --> 00:19:38,709
So?
345
00:19:38,750 --> 00:19:40,583
How was Carly's first day?
346
00:19:40,667 --> 00:19:42,333
Wonderful.
347
00:19:42,417 --> 00:19:45,333
She's so bright
and so professional.
348
00:19:47,375 --> 00:19:50,000
I know that you had
your reservations,
349
00:19:50,083 --> 00:19:52,333
but I am so glad we found her.
350
00:19:54,125 --> 00:19:55,500
She reminds me of him.
351
00:20:00,041 --> 00:20:02,417
You know, I was thinking...
352
00:20:02,500 --> 00:20:03,959
we should get her
a Christmas tree.
353
00:20:04,041 --> 00:20:05,542
I've already made arrangements.
354
00:20:05,625 --> 00:20:07,417
I sent in the expert.
355
00:20:24,542 --> 00:20:25,542
Hi.
356
00:20:25,583 --> 00:20:27,375
Hello again.
357
00:20:27,458 --> 00:20:30,417
You have a really nice voice.
358
00:20:30,500 --> 00:20:32,834
Have you ever thought
about joining the choir?
359
00:20:32,917 --> 00:20:34,667
Oh, my choir days are long over.
360
00:20:34,750 --> 00:20:36,417
So you have experience.
361
00:20:36,500 --> 00:20:37,976
That's what you got
out of that answer?
362
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,291
Mm-hmm.
363
00:20:39,375 --> 00:20:40,726
Okay. What do you think
of this one?
364
00:20:40,750 --> 00:20:42,250
Uh...
365
00:20:42,333 --> 00:20:43,250
You're right.
We can do better.
366
00:20:43,333 --> 00:20:44,667
It's your Christmas tree.
367
00:20:44,750 --> 00:20:47,041
Actually, it's yours.
368
00:20:47,125 --> 00:20:49,166
Mrs. Shepard asked me
to pick one up for you.
369
00:20:49,250 --> 00:20:51,542
I'm kind of an expert in
the Christmas tree department.
370
00:20:51,625 --> 00:20:52,542
Oh, really?
371
00:20:52,625 --> 00:20:54,208
Really.
372
00:20:54,291 --> 00:20:57,375
Hmm. Well, thank you,
but you don't have to do that.
373
00:20:57,458 --> 00:20:58,291
- I'm here now.
- Nonsense!
374
00:20:58,375 --> 00:20:59,959
I made Mrs. Shepard a promise,
375
00:21:00,041 --> 00:21:02,667
and I need
evergreen branches anyway.
376
00:21:02,750 --> 00:21:04,709
My mom makes
Christmas wreaths every year.
377
00:21:04,792 --> 00:21:07,709
Hmm. So were you just planning
on sneaking it into my house,
378
00:21:07,792 --> 00:21:09,458
like some reverse-Grinch?
379
00:21:09,542 --> 00:21:11,375
I'd probably try
the doorbell first.
380
00:21:11,458 --> 00:21:12,834
Yeah.
381
00:21:14,125 --> 00:21:16,875
Well, since you're here,
come on, you can help.
382
00:21:21,291 --> 00:21:24,333
So you and the Shepards
seem pretty tight.
383
00:21:24,417 --> 00:21:25,893
Definitely.
Jenny and I grew up together.
384
00:21:25,917 --> 00:21:28,083
We've been best friends
since preschool.
385
00:21:28,166 --> 00:21:29,917
Wow. That's a lot of history.
386
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,542
Any romantic history?
387
00:21:32,625 --> 00:21:34,041
- No.
- No?
388
00:21:34,125 --> 00:21:34,917
Nope.
389
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,208
Hmm.
390
00:21:36,291 --> 00:21:37,458
What?
391
00:21:37,542 --> 00:21:39,291
Nothing.
392
00:21:39,375 --> 00:21:42,959
I just wonder if she knows
that you have feelings for her.
393
00:21:45,458 --> 00:21:47,750
Why haven't you told her yet?
394
00:21:47,834 --> 00:21:49,834
I... It's just...
395
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,500
It's never been the right time.
396
00:21:52,583 --> 00:21:53,959
When I joined the Army,
397
00:21:54,041 --> 00:21:55,518
it didn't seem right
to say something,
398
00:21:55,542 --> 00:21:56,917
only to follow it
with a goodbye.
399
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,792
Mm.
400
00:21:58,875 --> 00:22:02,417
There was a moment before I left
401
00:22:02,500 --> 00:22:04,709
where I thought maybe she was...
402
00:22:04,792 --> 00:22:06,625
That was a long time ago!
403
00:22:06,709 --> 00:22:08,375
W-What do you think of this one?
404
00:22:08,458 --> 00:22:10,125
Uh, hold it straight.
Let me check.
405
00:22:10,208 --> 00:22:11,458
"Check"?
406
00:22:11,542 --> 00:22:13,667
Well, I gotta see
if I can put the angel on top.
407
00:22:13,750 --> 00:22:15,500
What's the verdict?
408
00:22:15,583 --> 00:22:17,166
We have a winner.
409
00:22:17,250 --> 00:22:18,959
You got bulbs? Tinsel?
410
00:22:19,041 --> 00:22:20,625
Oh, I don't use tinsel.
411
00:22:20,709 --> 00:22:21,750
Why not?
412
00:22:21,834 --> 00:22:23,542
Uh, because it gets everywhere
413
00:22:23,625 --> 00:22:25,305
and you still find
pieces of it in January.
414
00:22:25,375 --> 00:22:26,458
No tinsel in January.
415
00:22:27,709 --> 00:22:29,208
Matthew, I really think
416
00:22:29,291 --> 00:22:31,041
you should consider
joining the choir.
417
00:22:32,834 --> 00:22:34,375
So many great people involved!
418
00:22:34,458 --> 00:22:37,667
Your sister, Jenny,
Jenny's mom...
419
00:22:37,750 --> 00:22:40,041
all of us together,
having so much fun...
420
00:22:40,125 --> 00:22:42,625
and also,
I desperately need a tenor!
421
00:22:42,709 --> 00:22:45,041
Wait. Are you even a tenor?
422
00:22:45,125 --> 00:22:47,083
Guess you'll never know.
423
00:23:00,291 --> 00:23:02,417
Well, the tree
will go a long way
424
00:23:02,500 --> 00:23:04,417
to making this place
feel a little more festive.
425
00:23:04,500 --> 00:23:06,125
Mm, and now we have
ornaments, too.
426
00:23:06,208 --> 00:23:08,625
Oh.
427
00:23:08,709 --> 00:23:10,750
That one's mine.
428
00:23:10,834 --> 00:23:12,250
I brought it from home.
429
00:23:12,333 --> 00:23:13,834
A cardinal?
430
00:23:13,917 --> 00:23:15,959
It was a gift from my mom.
431
00:23:16,041 --> 00:23:19,500
She used to call me
her "little songbird".
432
00:23:19,583 --> 00:23:21,434
And how does she feel
about you spending Christmas
433
00:23:21,458 --> 00:23:22,583
so far from home?
434
00:23:22,667 --> 00:23:24,875
She, um...
435
00:23:24,959 --> 00:23:27,333
she passed away in June.
436
00:23:27,417 --> 00:23:28,917
I'm so sorry.
437
00:23:30,083 --> 00:23:31,583
Thanks.
438
00:23:31,667 --> 00:23:33,583
That's why I took this job.
439
00:23:33,667 --> 00:23:35,959
We used to spend
Christmas together.
440
00:23:37,375 --> 00:23:40,166
What about brothers?
Sisters?
441
00:23:40,250 --> 00:23:42,250
No. It was just us.
442
00:23:44,542 --> 00:23:45,875
Your dad?
443
00:23:45,959 --> 00:23:49,709
Uh, he left, when I was one.
444
00:23:49,792 --> 00:23:51,458
He wasn't ready to be a father.
445
00:23:51,542 --> 00:23:53,333
My mom said he tried,
446
00:23:53,417 --> 00:23:56,834
but he couldn't be
what we needed him to be, so...
447
00:23:56,917 --> 00:23:58,417
It's okay.
448
00:23:58,500 --> 00:24:00,542
I made peace with that
a long time ago.
449
00:24:02,083 --> 00:24:03,959
Now with my mom gone,
450
00:24:04,041 --> 00:24:07,625
and my dad's side
of the family tree clipped...
451
00:24:08,792 --> 00:24:10,750
it's just me.
452
00:24:12,250 --> 00:24:14,959
You know, family doesn't
have to mean blood.
453
00:24:15,041 --> 00:24:17,959
The men I served with,
I consider them brothers.
454
00:24:19,542 --> 00:24:21,792
We have each others' backs.
455
00:24:21,875 --> 00:24:24,083
Family can be chosen, too.
456
00:24:34,500 --> 00:24:37,583
Um, I guess everyone's here,
457
00:24:37,667 --> 00:24:38,959
so let's get started.
458
00:24:39,041 --> 00:24:41,417
We're gonna start
with some scales.
459
00:24:41,500 --> 00:24:42,625
Sorry I'm late.
460
00:24:43,875 --> 00:24:45,458
You're right on time.
461
00:24:45,542 --> 00:24:47,792
Um, everybody,
meet our new tenor.
462
00:24:47,875 --> 00:24:50,417
You are a tenor, right?
463
00:24:50,500 --> 00:24:51,709
Yeah.
464
00:24:51,792 --> 00:24:54,083
Okay!
465
00:24:54,166 --> 00:24:56,625
Gosh!
466
00:24:56,709 --> 00:24:58,250
I'm glad you're here.
467
00:24:58,333 --> 00:24:59,333
We can share.
468
00:24:59,375 --> 00:25:01,291
Thank you.
469
00:25:26,083 --> 00:25:27,583
Okay.
470
00:25:27,667 --> 00:25:31,834
Uh, well, I think we are
good to go for today, guys,
471
00:25:31,917 --> 00:25:33,643
but, um, please practice
your individual parts at home.
472
00:25:33,667 --> 00:25:34,875
Okay? Promise?
473
00:25:34,959 --> 00:25:36,458
- Promise.
- Good!
474
00:25:36,542 --> 00:25:37,750
Oh. Before we go,
475
00:25:37,834 --> 00:25:40,208
I do have an announcement
I would like to make.
476
00:25:40,291 --> 00:25:42,583
I have been evaluating all
of your individual strengths,
477
00:25:42,667 --> 00:25:45,917
and I think
this year's solo should go
478
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,000
to Riley.
479
00:25:47,041 --> 00:25:48,458
Riley!
480
00:25:49,792 --> 00:25:51,291
- Congratulations!
- Congratulations.
481
00:25:51,375 --> 00:25:53,333
That's great.
482
00:25:54,542 --> 00:25:56,083
Bye, George.
483
00:25:58,500 --> 00:26:00,500
I think he's warming up to me.
484
00:26:00,583 --> 00:26:02,083
He's more bark than bite.
485
00:26:02,166 --> 00:26:03,542
Mm.
486
00:26:06,792 --> 00:26:07,875
Carly?
487
00:26:07,959 --> 00:26:09,959
Um, about the solo...
488
00:26:10,041 --> 00:26:11,959
maybe you should give it
to someone else.
489
00:26:12,041 --> 00:26:13,458
Alice, or Jenny?
490
00:26:13,542 --> 00:26:16,417
You have a beautiful voice,
Riley. Truly.
491
00:26:16,500 --> 00:26:18,518
I'm just not sure I can sing
in front of all those people
492
00:26:18,542 --> 00:26:19,583
alone.
493
00:26:19,667 --> 00:26:21,417
Then we can work on it together,
494
00:26:21,500 --> 00:26:23,792
if you want,
outside of group rehearsals.
495
00:26:23,875 --> 00:26:24,750
You'd help me?
496
00:26:24,834 --> 00:26:26,250
Of course!
497
00:26:26,333 --> 00:26:28,351
I won't have you do anything
that you're not ready for,
498
00:26:28,375 --> 00:26:30,250
but I think you should try.
499
00:26:30,333 --> 00:26:32,875
Okay. Thanks so much.
500
00:26:32,959 --> 00:26:34,458
Hey!
501
00:26:34,542 --> 00:26:37,083
What made you decide
to dust off your robes?
502
00:26:38,208 --> 00:26:39,542
Well, I'm home now,
503
00:26:39,625 --> 00:26:41,458
and it just so happens
504
00:26:41,542 --> 00:26:44,041
some of my favorite people
are in this choir.
505
00:26:45,417 --> 00:26:47,667
We still need to catch up.
Pie at the Orchard?
506
00:26:47,750 --> 00:26:50,542
I'm off gluten,
but yes, of course.
507
00:26:51,750 --> 00:26:52,917
When?
508
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,750
I'll drop off Riley
and then meet you there.
509
00:26:55,834 --> 00:26:57,750
You got it.
510
00:27:20,166 --> 00:27:21,792
Mint tea.
511
00:27:21,875 --> 00:27:23,750
With honey.
It's good for your voice.
512
00:27:23,834 --> 00:27:25,750
Oh...
513
00:27:25,834 --> 00:27:27,166
So...
514
00:27:27,250 --> 00:27:29,083
are you excited for Christmas?
515
00:27:29,166 --> 00:27:31,250
Why? It happens every year.
516
00:27:31,333 --> 00:27:33,208
Does that make you
the town Scrooge?
517
00:27:36,959 --> 00:27:38,333
I suppose it might.
518
00:27:39,709 --> 00:27:42,041
Sorry! I just notice
519
00:27:42,125 --> 00:27:44,017
that you don't seem
to like socializing very much
520
00:27:44,041 --> 00:27:45,875
with the rest of the group,
521
00:27:45,959 --> 00:27:47,583
but they're a really fun bunch.
522
00:27:47,667 --> 00:27:50,125
Yesterday, Alice even brought
homemade snickerdoodles.
523
00:27:50,208 --> 00:27:51,917
I know!
She snuck two into my pocket.
524
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,333
There were crumbs everywhere.
525
00:27:53,417 --> 00:27:54,792
Now, see?
526
00:27:54,875 --> 00:27:56,434
There's another reason
to stick around after practice.
527
00:27:56,458 --> 00:27:57,792
Saves on the dry-cleaning bill.
528
00:28:01,333 --> 00:28:03,792
I still would like to know...
529
00:28:03,875 --> 00:28:05,959
why you joined the choir,
530
00:28:06,041 --> 00:28:07,375
if you want to share?
531
00:28:09,917 --> 00:28:11,417
My wife.
532
00:28:11,500 --> 00:28:13,083
She, um...
533
00:28:13,166 --> 00:28:15,625
she used to sing with the choir.
534
00:28:16,875 --> 00:28:19,166
She passed last winter.
535
00:28:19,250 --> 00:28:21,291
How long were you two married?
536
00:28:21,375 --> 00:28:23,625
53 years.
537
00:28:23,709 --> 00:28:25,875
I'm so sorry, George.
538
00:28:28,125 --> 00:28:30,083
Now tell me about your wife.
539
00:28:30,166 --> 00:28:31,792
Lovely singer, I bet.
540
00:28:31,875 --> 00:28:33,875
She couldn't carry a tune
in a bucket!
541
00:28:35,542 --> 00:28:37,041
But she loved it!
542
00:28:37,125 --> 00:28:39,375
Christmas was always
her favorite time of the year...
543
00:28:39,458 --> 00:28:40,834
The lights and the decorations...
544
00:28:40,917 --> 00:28:43,000
But the thing
she looked forward to the most
545
00:28:43,083 --> 00:28:43,959
was caroling.
546
00:28:44,041 --> 00:28:45,834
- Mm.
- And we'd go every year.
547
00:28:45,917 --> 00:28:47,000
Just you two?
548
00:28:47,083 --> 00:28:49,083
Well, it was our tradition.
549
00:28:49,166 --> 00:28:51,625
We'd walk for blocks
till our feet were sore
550
00:28:51,709 --> 00:28:52,834
and our voices gave out,
551
00:28:52,917 --> 00:28:55,291
but she'd always say,
552
00:28:55,375 --> 00:28:58,291
"One more house.
553
00:28:58,375 --> 00:29:02,208
Can't keep all this
Christmas cheer to ourselves."
554
00:29:08,333 --> 00:29:11,500
And when
I sing with the choir...
555
00:29:11,583 --> 00:29:14,667
I can feel that old connection
to her.
556
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,417
- Oh.
- Thank you.
557
00:29:31,500 --> 00:29:32,959
Ahem.
558
00:29:33,041 --> 00:29:35,226
Did your Mom tell you that
Barkley's Drugstore closed down?
559
00:29:35,250 --> 00:29:36,291
What?
560
00:29:36,375 --> 00:29:37,500
No!
561
00:29:37,583 --> 00:29:40,375
Yes, unfortunately...
About six months ago.
562
00:29:41,667 --> 00:29:43,375
I hear it's becoming
a seafood restaurant.
563
00:29:43,458 --> 00:29:44,750
I spent the last few days
564
00:29:44,834 --> 00:29:47,417
dreaming of one of
their peppermint egg creams.
565
00:29:47,500 --> 00:29:50,333
Yeah. Well, my mom
cornered Mr. Barkley
566
00:29:50,417 --> 00:29:51,577
until he gave her the recipe,
567
00:29:51,625 --> 00:29:53,166
so I'll have her send it to you.
568
00:29:53,250 --> 00:29:55,208
Yeah. Well, you know
I won't be able
569
00:29:55,291 --> 00:29:57,131
to make anything like
the original, but thanks.
570
00:29:57,208 --> 00:29:59,000
Oh, right. I forgot.
You can't cook.
571
00:30:00,208 --> 00:30:01,750
I have other skills.
572
00:30:03,041 --> 00:30:05,375
How are things at the shop?
573
00:30:05,458 --> 00:30:08,083
Actually, it's my last month.
574
00:30:08,166 --> 00:30:10,250
Really? Why?
575
00:30:11,375 --> 00:30:13,208
I applied
to Dobson Virginia University.
576
00:30:13,291 --> 00:30:14,875
I got into their MBA program.
577
00:30:14,959 --> 00:30:16,625
W...
578
00:30:16,709 --> 00:30:18,208
Th-That's amazing!
579
00:30:18,291 --> 00:30:19,208
Congratulations.
580
00:30:19,291 --> 00:30:20,542
Thank you.
581
00:30:20,625 --> 00:30:22,542
I'm still wait-listed
for a few courses I need,
582
00:30:22,625 --> 00:30:23,667
so we'll see.
583
00:30:23,750 --> 00:30:25,583
Your parents must be proud.
584
00:30:25,667 --> 00:30:27,417
They are... now.
585
00:30:27,500 --> 00:30:30,000
Mom was a little disappointed
586
00:30:30,083 --> 00:30:32,667
because we'd always talked about
me taking over the shop one day.
587
00:30:32,750 --> 00:30:33,976
You can do that
with a business degree, right?
588
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,458
That's not why I applied.
589
00:30:37,709 --> 00:30:40,959
I've spent my entire life
in Waterford Creek,
590
00:30:41,041 --> 00:30:42,625
and I started to wonder
591
00:30:42,709 --> 00:30:45,417
if maybe there was more for me
out there.
592
00:30:47,458 --> 00:30:49,083
You must know
what that's like, right?
593
00:30:50,458 --> 00:30:54,709
Well, I...
I-I loved serving my country.
594
00:30:54,792 --> 00:30:57,750
It was the honor of my life,
but...
595
00:30:57,834 --> 00:31:01,709
I spent most of my quiet moments
thinking of home.
596
00:31:39,792 --> 00:31:41,667
Hmm. We meet again.
597
00:31:43,500 --> 00:31:45,500
I'm actually glad you're here.
598
00:31:45,583 --> 00:31:47,500
That Christmas Feeling
599
00:31:47,583 --> 00:31:49,125
or...
Christmas Time's Coming?
600
00:31:50,333 --> 00:31:52,000
Are you buying
a gift for someone?
601
00:31:53,208 --> 00:31:54,792
Every Christmas,
602
00:31:54,875 --> 00:31:56,875
my mom and I would go
to the record shop in town
603
00:31:56,959 --> 00:31:58,291
and try to find a holiday album
604
00:31:58,375 --> 00:32:00,333
that we'd never, ever heard
before.
605
00:32:00,417 --> 00:32:02,834
I mean, anyone can put on
Bing or Ella,
606
00:32:02,917 --> 00:32:06,542
but have you ever
trimmed a tree to...
607
00:32:06,625 --> 00:32:08,542
Accordion To Steve's
Christmas Polka?
608
00:32:10,500 --> 00:32:11,959
She'd get one for me,
609
00:32:12,041 --> 00:32:13,500
I'd get one for her,
610
00:32:13,583 --> 00:32:15,834
we'd swap,
kind of like a secret Santa.
611
00:32:15,917 --> 00:32:18,625
It was always
my favorite tradition.
612
00:32:18,709 --> 00:32:20,166
And what if you don't like it?
613
00:32:20,250 --> 00:32:23,625
What's life without
a little bit of risk, right?
614
00:32:23,709 --> 00:32:24,959
Besides, I have yet to meet
615
00:32:25,041 --> 00:32:27,792
a Christmas song
that I did not like.
616
00:32:27,875 --> 00:32:29,267
Give me a horn section
and some sleigh bells,
617
00:32:29,291 --> 00:32:30,375
and I'm happy.
618
00:32:30,458 --> 00:32:31,667
What about you?
619
00:32:33,542 --> 00:32:35,458
My favorite...
Christmas tradition?
620
00:32:35,542 --> 00:32:37,583
Mm-hmm.
621
00:32:37,667 --> 00:32:38,667
Being home.
622
00:32:40,041 --> 00:32:42,333
I mean, nothing gets me
in the spirit
623
00:32:42,417 --> 00:32:45,875
like a peppermint egg cream
from Barkley's Drugstore...
624
00:32:45,959 --> 00:32:48,750
but I just heard...
they shut down.
625
00:32:48,834 --> 00:32:50,291
Oh.
626
00:32:50,375 --> 00:32:52,226
Well, I've never tried one,
but it sounds interesting.
627
00:32:52,250 --> 00:32:54,500
No... more than "interesting".
628
00:32:54,583 --> 00:32:55,709
It's life-changing.
629
00:33:01,291 --> 00:33:02,458
Riley told me
630
00:33:02,542 --> 00:33:04,583
that you offered to help her out
with her solo.
631
00:33:04,667 --> 00:33:05,959
That's really nice of you.
632
00:33:06,041 --> 00:33:07,542
Well, solos can be intimidating.
633
00:33:07,625 --> 00:33:09,583
She's very talented.
634
00:33:09,667 --> 00:33:11,707
She's wanted to join the choir
for the longest time.
635
00:33:11,750 --> 00:33:12,976
She just now
worked up the courage.
636
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,291
Well, I'm glad she did.
637
00:33:17,458 --> 00:33:20,250
You know, I could use
some new Christmas music.
638
00:33:20,333 --> 00:33:22,291
Swap?
639
00:33:23,500 --> 00:33:24,709
Do you trust me?
640
00:33:25,875 --> 00:33:27,000
Should I?
641
00:33:30,250 --> 00:33:31,250
No peeking.
642
00:33:31,333 --> 00:33:33,166
Oh! Right.
643
00:33:43,125 --> 00:33:45,291
Hey! Not until you get home.
644
00:33:45,375 --> 00:33:46,417
That's the rule.
645
00:33:46,500 --> 00:33:48,166
Is that so? Well...
646
00:33:48,250 --> 00:33:49,792
I always play by the rules.
647
00:33:49,875 --> 00:33:52,000
I got that about you.
648
00:34:06,875 --> 00:34:08,375
Mm. Smells good.
649
00:34:08,458 --> 00:34:09,959
What have you got there?
650
00:34:11,125 --> 00:34:13,000
Uh...
651
00:34:14,583 --> 00:34:17,458
Oh, no.
652
00:34:17,542 --> 00:34:19,502
The record player was broken,
so we got rid of it.
653
00:34:19,583 --> 00:34:20,583
Sorry, honey.
654
00:34:20,625 --> 00:34:22,333
Oh, that's okay, Mom.
655
00:34:22,417 --> 00:34:24,125
Love you.
656
00:36:04,917 --> 00:36:07,625
"Joyful all ye nations rise,
657
00:36:07,709 --> 00:36:10,917
join the triumph
of the skies."
658
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,834
What's the song about? Tyler?
659
00:36:12,917 --> 00:36:16,667
Um, herald angels singing?
660
00:36:16,750 --> 00:36:18,208
Yes. Absolutely. What else?
661
00:36:19,291 --> 00:36:21,000
It's about rejoicing
in good news,
662
00:36:21,083 --> 00:36:22,417
coming together in celebration.
663
00:36:22,500 --> 00:36:23,792
Exactly.
664
00:36:24,959 --> 00:36:27,667
Songs aren't
just words and notes.
665
00:36:27,750 --> 00:36:31,166
They are expressions
of emotions,
666
00:36:31,250 --> 00:36:34,417
and if we want the audience
to feel something,
667
00:36:34,500 --> 00:36:36,250
then we have to feel it first.
668
00:36:36,333 --> 00:36:38,417
So, everybody...
669
00:36:38,500 --> 00:36:39,667
close your eyes!
670
00:36:39,750 --> 00:36:42,333
Close 'em!
671
00:36:42,417 --> 00:36:45,709
Now, I want you to think
about a time in your life
672
00:36:45,792 --> 00:36:48,959
when you were truly happy...
673
00:36:49,041 --> 00:36:54,417
when you were filled with joy
and bliss...
674
00:36:54,500 --> 00:36:56,166
and wonder.
675
00:36:56,250 --> 00:36:58,208
Yeah. Feel those feels.
676
00:36:58,291 --> 00:36:59,709
Smile!
677
00:36:59,792 --> 00:37:01,709
Now hold on to that feeling...
678
00:37:01,792 --> 00:37:03,750
and keep your eyes closed.
679
00:37:07,709 --> 00:37:09,875
Just the refrain...
680
00:37:09,959 --> 00:37:12,875
and now you want
to share that happy time.
681
00:37:12,959 --> 00:37:14,750
You are bursting to share it
682
00:37:14,834 --> 00:37:17,166
with the people
you love the most.
683
00:37:17,250 --> 00:37:20,375
And one...
and two...
684
00:37:56,041 --> 00:37:58,375
All right, singers.
685
00:37:58,458 --> 00:38:00,291
Open your eyes.
686
00:38:01,750 --> 00:38:03,917
I think we're ready
to take it from the top.
687
00:38:38,625 --> 00:38:39,625
Hi!
688
00:38:39,709 --> 00:38:41,667
Hi. Carly, I'm so silly.
689
00:38:41,750 --> 00:38:44,333
I realized that I forgot
to give you your ticket.
690
00:38:44,417 --> 00:38:45,250
Ticket?
691
00:38:45,333 --> 00:38:46,959
Yes, to the Christmas dance.
692
00:38:47,041 --> 00:38:48,267
It's a Waterford Creek
tradition.
693
00:38:48,291 --> 00:38:49,333
Not to be missed.
694
00:38:49,417 --> 00:38:51,583
For tonight? Okay.
695
00:38:51,667 --> 00:38:53,917
Um, I've never been
to a Christmas dance before.
696
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:55,834
Oh, you're gonna have
a wonderful time.
697
00:38:55,917 --> 00:38:56,959
I'll see to it personally.
698
00:38:57,041 --> 00:38:59,166
Now, I'm not sure
what you packed,
699
00:38:59,250 --> 00:39:02,208
but Jenny thought perhaps
one of these might work.
700
00:39:02,291 --> 00:39:04,500
These are great. Thank you!
701
00:39:04,583 --> 00:39:06,709
You're welcome.
702
00:39:09,208 --> 00:39:10,250
Do you want to come in?
703
00:39:10,333 --> 00:39:12,458
Oh, thanks, Carly, but, um...
704
00:39:12,542 --> 00:39:14,017
I'm behind on making
my Christmas candles.
705
00:39:14,041 --> 00:39:15,750
Oh.
706
00:39:15,834 --> 00:39:17,792
Actually, I could
sure use your help.
707
00:39:19,625 --> 00:39:20,834
Would you care to join?
708
00:39:21,959 --> 00:39:24,417
Sure. Uh, let me
just put these down.
709
00:39:24,500 --> 00:39:26,208
Okay.
710
00:39:30,875 --> 00:39:33,208
The key
to the perfect Christmas candle
711
00:39:33,291 --> 00:39:35,208
is three drops
of cardamom essence,
712
00:39:35,291 --> 00:39:36,583
two drops of vanilla,
713
00:39:36,667 --> 00:39:38,041
and two drops of cloves,
714
00:39:38,125 --> 00:39:39,667
with a dash of cinnamon.
715
00:39:39,750 --> 00:39:42,083
I usually make
my own cinnamon blend too,
716
00:39:42,166 --> 00:39:44,041
but that's a recipe
for another time.
717
00:39:44,125 --> 00:39:46,166
Well, it smells great.
718
00:39:46,250 --> 00:39:47,375
Mm-hmm!
719
00:39:47,458 --> 00:39:49,542
I only started making these
a few years ago,
720
00:39:49,625 --> 00:39:51,792
but since then,
I've been hooked.
721
00:39:51,875 --> 00:39:54,834
It's like there's something
meditative about it.
722
00:39:54,917 --> 00:39:57,083
Oh, I'm sorry.
723
00:39:57,166 --> 00:39:59,125
I feel like I've just been
talking your ear off.
724
00:39:59,208 --> 00:40:00,458
Not at all.
725
00:40:00,542 --> 00:40:02,333
I love hearing these stories.
726
00:40:02,417 --> 00:40:04,792
Okay. What's next?
727
00:40:04,875 --> 00:40:07,458
So, next, we add...
728
00:40:07,542 --> 00:40:09,834
the scent.
729
00:40:09,917 --> 00:40:12,500
Are you sure
you want to trust me with this?
730
00:40:12,583 --> 00:40:14,875
I believe in you, Carly.
731
00:40:14,959 --> 00:40:16,458
Now, nice and easy.
732
00:40:16,542 --> 00:40:17,667
Okay.
733
00:40:17,750 --> 00:40:19,792
Mom, are you up here?
734
00:40:19,875 --> 00:40:21,208
Come on up!
735
00:40:22,750 --> 00:40:24,709
Sorry to bother you
up here, but...
736
00:40:24,792 --> 00:40:26,417
Oh! Hi, Carly.
737
00:40:26,500 --> 00:40:27,834
Hey, Jenny.
738
00:40:27,917 --> 00:40:29,685
Your mom's showing me
how to make Christmas candles.
739
00:40:29,709 --> 00:40:31,375
Really?
740
00:40:31,458 --> 00:40:34,166
Mom usually doesn't let people
into her studio.
741
00:40:34,250 --> 00:40:35,417
Well, I, uh...
742
00:40:35,500 --> 00:40:37,000
I have to make
six dozen of these
743
00:40:37,083 --> 00:40:38,250
for the Christmas dance,
744
00:40:38,333 --> 00:40:40,250
so it is all hands on deck.
745
00:40:40,333 --> 00:40:42,208
I'm pretty sure
I have two left hands,
746
00:40:42,291 --> 00:40:43,834
but I'm trying my best.
747
00:40:43,917 --> 00:40:45,667
Come, join us, honey.
748
00:40:45,750 --> 00:40:48,250
Sure.
749
00:40:48,333 --> 00:40:49,834
Here.
750
00:40:49,917 --> 00:40:51,625
Thank you.
751
00:40:53,083 --> 00:40:54,959
Mm. Oh! That's starting
to smell really good.
752
00:41:00,458 --> 00:41:02,041
Good to see you.
753
00:41:03,667 --> 00:41:04,709
Excuse me for a second.
754
00:41:08,458 --> 00:41:09,750
Hey!
755
00:41:18,250 --> 00:41:19,542
What do you think?
756
00:41:20,875 --> 00:41:22,041
Smells good enough to eat.
757
00:41:22,125 --> 00:41:23,959
Thank you.
758
00:41:24,041 --> 00:41:25,333
You made these?
759
00:41:25,417 --> 00:41:28,583
With a great deal of help
from Susan, but yes.
760
00:41:28,667 --> 00:41:29,875
I'm impressed.
761
00:41:31,333 --> 00:41:32,458
You know...
762
00:41:32,542 --> 00:41:34,500
I think I am finally
getting the hang
763
00:41:34,583 --> 00:41:36,333
of this smalltown
Christmas thing.
764
00:41:36,417 --> 00:41:38,917
Making candles,
attending time-honored events.
765
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:40,583
Carly!
766
00:41:41,750 --> 00:41:43,333
- Can I steal you for a hot sec?
- Sure.
767
00:41:43,417 --> 00:41:44,917
So I heard
768
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,750
that eating prunes is good
for relaxing the vocal chords,
769
00:41:47,834 --> 00:41:48,917
or was it pineapple?
770
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:50,000
I can't remember.
771
00:41:50,041 --> 00:41:51,041
I know water's good...
772
00:41:52,208 --> 00:41:53,417
Susan was saying
773
00:41:53,500 --> 00:41:55,184
that the Christmas dance
was your first date.
774
00:41:55,208 --> 00:41:56,542
No.
775
00:41:56,625 --> 00:41:58,125
Our first date was the library.
776
00:41:58,208 --> 00:42:00,291
Oh, that was not a date.
777
00:42:00,375 --> 00:42:01,583
I thought it was.
778
00:42:01,667 --> 00:42:03,547
Our "first date" is when
I put on a pretty dress
779
00:42:03,625 --> 00:42:05,709
and dab some perfume
behind my ear.
780
00:42:05,792 --> 00:42:07,750
Well, I think
you can find romance anywhere,
781
00:42:07,834 --> 00:42:09,041
in the little things.
782
00:42:09,125 --> 00:42:10,750
Like a trip to the library.
783
00:42:10,834 --> 00:42:12,083
Okay, fine!
784
00:42:12,166 --> 00:42:13,935
So then the Christmas dance
was our second date.
785
00:42:13,959 --> 00:42:15,583
Actually, it was our third.
786
00:42:15,667 --> 00:42:17,959
You forgot about
the coffee shop.
787
00:42:18,041 --> 00:42:19,417
Oh!
788
00:42:25,417 --> 00:42:26,834
Dance with me?
789
00:42:26,917 --> 00:42:30,166
I would love to.
790
00:42:47,291 --> 00:42:48,208
You know what
this reminds me of?
791
00:42:48,291 --> 00:42:49,959
Junior prom.
792
00:42:50,041 --> 00:42:52,041
Does that mean I can expect you
to step on my toes?
793
00:42:53,375 --> 00:42:54,917
What? I got some fresh moves.
794
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:56,417
Oh.
795
00:43:01,125 --> 00:43:03,083
I thought I just saw
Ben Hubbard.
796
00:43:03,166 --> 00:43:04,250
Ben?
797
00:43:04,333 --> 00:43:06,625
I didn't know
he was back in town.
798
00:43:06,709 --> 00:43:09,333
Yeah. He said
he might be here tonight.
799
00:43:13,125 --> 00:43:14,125
Are you two...
800
00:43:14,166 --> 00:43:16,417
Mm. I'm not sure.
801
00:43:16,500 --> 00:43:19,208
He travels a lot for work,
but he visits all the time,
802
00:43:19,291 --> 00:43:21,792
so...
803
00:43:21,875 --> 00:43:23,166
You should go say hi.
804
00:43:23,250 --> 00:43:24,730
It can wait
till the end of our dance.
805
00:43:24,792 --> 00:43:25,875
No. No.
806
00:43:25,959 --> 00:43:27,250
Absolutely not. Listen.
807
00:43:27,333 --> 00:43:30,750
I-I have to make the rounds
anyways and...
808
00:43:30,834 --> 00:43:32,834
a lot of people
I have to say hi to.
809
00:43:32,917 --> 00:43:34,083
Are you sure?
810
00:43:34,166 --> 00:43:35,834
- We'll catch up later.
- Okay.
811
00:43:39,750 --> 00:43:41,959
Hi.
812
00:43:42,041 --> 00:43:43,291
Thank you.
813
00:43:53,959 --> 00:43:55,709
Nice night, huh?
814
00:43:55,792 --> 00:43:57,667
Yeah. Pretty magical.
815
00:43:57,750 --> 00:44:01,083
The stars...
the perfectly clean air.
816
00:44:01,166 --> 00:44:03,959
This place is incredible.
817
00:44:07,166 --> 00:44:09,250
George has
some pretty good moves, huh?
818
00:44:09,333 --> 00:44:11,041
I could barely keep up.
819
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:22,208
So... how are we doing?
820
00:44:23,667 --> 00:44:26,083
You and me?
821
00:44:27,417 --> 00:44:28,417
The choir.
822
00:44:30,542 --> 00:44:32,625
Uh, well...
823
00:44:32,709 --> 00:44:35,917
we are a little over a week
away from Christmas Eve,
824
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,959
and...
825
00:44:39,041 --> 00:44:42,250
I just want it to be special.
826
00:44:42,333 --> 00:44:44,250
It means a lot to you,
this performance.
827
00:44:44,333 --> 00:44:46,709
Yeah.
828
00:44:46,792 --> 00:44:50,000
The Shepards have been
so nice to me...
829
00:44:50,083 --> 00:44:52,125
from finding
my teacher profile online
830
00:44:52,208 --> 00:44:54,375
to bringing me out here,
831
00:44:54,458 --> 00:44:57,333
inviting me
to fun events like this.
832
00:44:58,709 --> 00:45:00,709
Alice said that the chapel
833
00:45:00,792 --> 00:45:03,291
hasn't had the money
to hire a choir director,
834
00:45:03,375 --> 00:45:06,542
so Pastor John is paying me
out of pocket.
835
00:45:08,834 --> 00:45:11,375
I don't know how I got so lucky.
836
00:45:11,458 --> 00:45:15,000
Huh. That is really special.
837
00:45:15,083 --> 00:45:17,333
I'll miss them when I go home.
838
00:45:19,917 --> 00:45:22,125
Do you...
839
00:45:22,208 --> 00:45:24,375
believe in fate?
840
00:45:24,458 --> 00:45:27,500
Like, there's a bigger plan
that we can't see?
841
00:45:27,583 --> 00:45:29,500
Yeah.
842
00:45:29,583 --> 00:45:31,041
I don't know.
843
00:45:31,125 --> 00:45:32,417
Maybe.
844
00:45:32,500 --> 00:45:34,959
Since my mom died...
845
00:45:35,041 --> 00:45:39,750
I've just felt
a little... lost.
846
00:45:41,125 --> 00:45:44,458
And fate, the idea of it...
847
00:45:45,667 --> 00:45:48,208
the promises that it holds...
848
00:45:50,542 --> 00:45:54,375
it just seems a little rocky
right now.
849
00:45:56,125 --> 00:45:58,750
I understand
what you're going through.
850
00:46:01,709 --> 00:46:02,709
You do?
851
00:46:02,750 --> 00:46:04,583
Yeah.
852
00:46:21,500 --> 00:46:23,250
You're up late.
853
00:46:23,333 --> 00:46:24,959
Oh, did I wake you?
854
00:46:25,041 --> 00:46:26,792
No.
855
00:46:26,875 --> 00:46:28,792
Eggnog!
856
00:46:28,875 --> 00:46:31,417
Looks like we had the same idea.
857
00:46:31,500 --> 00:46:36,542
Oh...
oh, I remember that night.
858
00:46:36,625 --> 00:46:39,458
You made the cutest Wise Man.
859
00:46:41,875 --> 00:46:44,417
And you were up all night,
making me that little hat.
860
00:46:44,500 --> 00:46:46,375
Uh-huh.
861
00:46:46,458 --> 00:46:48,500
Because...
862
00:46:48,583 --> 00:46:51,291
accessories
make the outfit, dear.
863
00:46:58,750 --> 00:47:00,125
Is everything all right?
864
00:47:00,208 --> 00:47:04,041
I had these hopes...
865
00:47:04,125 --> 00:47:05,667
I'd come home,
866
00:47:05,750 --> 00:47:08,041
buy that little farmhouse
on Maple, fix it up.
867
00:47:09,583 --> 00:47:12,542
And now I hear
that Jenny's leaving...
868
00:47:12,625 --> 00:47:14,750
just as I arrive.
869
00:47:14,834 --> 00:47:16,000
She was my best friend.
870
00:47:16,083 --> 00:47:18,583
I feel like
I... hardly know her.
871
00:47:18,667 --> 00:47:20,375
People change...
872
00:47:20,458 --> 00:47:22,542
grow apart.
873
00:47:22,625 --> 00:47:24,542
Others grow together.
874
00:47:26,375 --> 00:47:28,834
Sometimes, you need
to let go of a dream
875
00:47:28,917 --> 00:47:31,792
so another one
can take its place.
876
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:34,709
That's pretty deep, Mom.
877
00:47:34,792 --> 00:47:37,166
I have my moments.
878
00:48:02,709 --> 00:48:05,417
Thank you for letting us
do this for her.
879
00:48:05,500 --> 00:48:06,667
You've done a good thing.
880
00:48:06,750 --> 00:48:08,417
What a blessing.
881
00:48:08,500 --> 00:48:10,667
Meeting her...
That's the real blessing.
882
00:48:17,667 --> 00:48:19,834
Hello,
and good morning, everybody.
883
00:48:19,917 --> 00:48:21,125
Uh, keep your coats on!
884
00:48:21,208 --> 00:48:22,643
We're doing something
a little different today.
885
00:48:22,667 --> 00:48:24,000
We're not singing today?
886
00:48:24,083 --> 00:48:26,500
We are going caroling.
887
00:48:29,875 --> 00:48:31,875
Come on! Come.
888
00:49:23,291 --> 00:49:24,959
Oh, what fun!
889
00:49:25,041 --> 00:49:26,750
Did you see their faces?
890
00:49:26,834 --> 00:49:28,291
We made their day!
891
00:49:28,375 --> 00:49:29,518
Well, who doesn't like being
wished Merry Christmas, right?
892
00:49:29,542 --> 00:49:31,083
And a Happy New Year.
893
00:49:31,166 --> 00:49:33,017
So, George, what do you think?
Should we keep going?
894
00:49:33,041 --> 00:49:34,518
One more house.
895
00:49:34,542 --> 00:49:36,017
We can't keep
all this Christmas cheer
896
00:49:36,041 --> 00:49:37,041
to ourselves, right?
897
00:49:37,125 --> 00:49:38,417
Let's do it!
898
00:49:41,208 --> 00:49:42,583
Thank you, Carly.
899
00:49:42,667 --> 00:49:43,667
One more house.
900
00:49:52,792 --> 00:49:54,583
Just repeat after me.
901
00:50:05,041 --> 00:50:07,000
You are singing for the rafters!
902
00:50:07,083 --> 00:50:08,267
Just give it
a little more power.
903
00:50:08,291 --> 00:50:09,959
What if I make a mistake?
904
00:50:10,041 --> 00:50:11,959
We all make mistakes.
905
00:50:13,667 --> 00:50:16,250
I just don't want to let
everyone in the choir down.
906
00:50:16,333 --> 00:50:17,458
My mom used to tell me
907
00:50:17,542 --> 00:50:19,625
it takes two things
to make great music...
908
00:50:19,709 --> 00:50:21,000
A guitar in your hands
909
00:50:21,083 --> 00:50:22,792
and joy in your heart.
910
00:50:22,875 --> 00:50:24,375
Your mom sounds awesome.
911
00:50:25,542 --> 00:50:27,625
I usually have
my favorite pick with me,
912
00:50:27,709 --> 00:50:30,500
but I lost it on my way here.
913
00:50:30,583 --> 00:50:32,500
Had the word "joy"
written on it.
914
00:50:32,583 --> 00:50:33,875
It was a gift from my mom.
915
00:50:33,959 --> 00:50:35,041
Oh, no.
916
00:50:35,125 --> 00:50:37,792
Sadly, I think
it's gone for good.
917
00:50:37,875 --> 00:50:38,959
But listen.
918
00:50:39,041 --> 00:50:42,250
It's normal
to get lost in your nerves.
919
00:50:42,333 --> 00:50:44,583
You just have to remember
why you're doing this.
920
00:50:44,667 --> 00:50:45,792
Do you love to sing?
921
00:50:45,875 --> 00:50:47,291
I do.
922
00:50:47,375 --> 00:50:49,709
Then share that love
with everyone in that chapel
923
00:50:49,792 --> 00:50:50,917
on Christmas Eve.
924
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:53,959
Or we could always
give the solo to George.
925
00:50:54,041 --> 00:50:55,281
I mean, he loves the spotlight!
926
00:50:56,333 --> 00:50:57,917
I'm sorry to interrupt.
927
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:00,125
Um, wondering if you guys
are almost finished.
928
00:51:00,208 --> 00:51:01,875
We're about to start
with the wreaths.
929
00:51:01,959 --> 00:51:03,267
Yeah. I think
we're done for today.
930
00:51:03,291 --> 00:51:04,291
Great job, Riley.
931
00:51:04,333 --> 00:51:05,834
Carly, can you stay?
932
00:51:05,917 --> 00:51:09,583
I don't want to impose
on your family time.
933
00:51:09,667 --> 00:51:10,987
Do you have
a wreath on your door?
934
00:51:11,709 --> 00:51:12,834
No.
935
00:51:12,917 --> 00:51:14,166
Then you should stay.
936
00:51:18,208 --> 00:51:20,208
I've always made my own bows.
937
00:51:20,291 --> 00:51:22,041
I think it adds
a personal touch.
938
00:51:22,125 --> 00:51:23,518
Carly, if you pick
which ribbon you like best,
939
00:51:23,542 --> 00:51:25,333
- I can make you one.
- Okay.
940
00:51:25,417 --> 00:51:28,458
But you might want
to spread these branches out.
941
00:51:28,542 --> 00:51:29,875
They're looking
a little lopsided.
942
00:51:29,959 --> 00:51:31,879
Hey! I'm not telling you
how to make your wreath.
943
00:51:31,917 --> 00:51:33,333
Because mine's actually round.
944
00:51:33,417 --> 00:51:36,333
Is there a law that says
wreaths have to be round?
945
00:51:36,417 --> 00:51:37,643
It's not about
the finished product...
946
00:51:37,667 --> 00:51:39,667
It's about the experience.
947
00:51:39,750 --> 00:51:41,083
Thank you, Diane.
948
00:51:41,166 --> 00:51:43,059
Although we will be hanging
the finished product up
949
00:51:43,083 --> 00:51:45,834
around the house
on the Christmas Eve-Eve party.
950
00:51:45,917 --> 00:51:47,083
Speaking of...
951
00:51:47,166 --> 00:51:49,250
I don't know
if anyone has said, Carly,
952
00:51:49,333 --> 00:51:51,417
but you are absolutely invited.
953
00:51:51,500 --> 00:51:54,208
Thanks. I'd really like that.
954
00:52:00,917 --> 00:52:03,583
I think it has
a lot of personality.
955
00:52:03,667 --> 00:52:05,542
No arguments here.
956
00:52:07,917 --> 00:52:10,625
You know, I realize
that I've never heard you sing.
957
00:52:10,709 --> 00:52:11,749
Oh, well, that's not true.
958
00:52:11,792 --> 00:52:13,041
We went caroling.
959
00:52:13,125 --> 00:52:15,834
Oh, that was with a group.
I barely heard myself.
960
00:52:15,917 --> 00:52:17,375
Would you?
961
00:52:17,458 --> 00:52:19,041
Sing?
962
00:52:19,125 --> 00:52:21,417
Actually, I could use
an unbiased opinion
963
00:52:21,500 --> 00:52:22,500
on something.
964
00:52:22,542 --> 00:52:23,542
Take a seat.
965
00:52:24,959 --> 00:52:28,291
I have been working
on this arrangement...
966
00:52:28,375 --> 00:52:30,291
and I want the choir to sing it.
967
00:52:30,375 --> 00:52:31,792
Don't you think
it's a little late
968
00:52:31,875 --> 00:52:32,917
to add a new song?
969
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:36,417
Maybe, but...
it would mean a lot to me.
970
00:52:36,500 --> 00:52:38,333
What's the song?
971
00:52:38,417 --> 00:52:41,417
Well, I, uh,
recently got this gift
972
00:52:41,500 --> 00:52:42,917
from a friend of mine...
973
00:52:44,542 --> 00:52:46,750
the first track is called
"Time For Me To Come Home".
974
00:52:46,834 --> 00:52:49,000
And it just spoke to me.
975
00:53:41,417 --> 00:53:42,959
I forgot the next line.
976
00:53:44,417 --> 00:53:45,875
It was beautiful.
977
00:53:45,959 --> 00:53:47,375
It's a work in progress.
978
00:53:47,458 --> 00:53:48,291
We should add it.
979
00:53:48,375 --> 00:53:49,542
Yeah?
980
00:53:49,625 --> 00:53:50,667
Definitely.
981
00:53:52,166 --> 00:53:55,166
I forgot to ask.
Why did you choose that album?
982
00:53:55,250 --> 00:53:56,333
Happy accident, I guess.
983
00:53:56,417 --> 00:53:57,417
Mm.
984
00:53:57,500 --> 00:54:00,000
I guess sometimes
the things we need
985
00:54:00,083 --> 00:54:01,792
just have a way of finding us.
986
00:54:03,625 --> 00:54:05,291
Yeah, I guess they do.
987
00:54:12,125 --> 00:54:15,291
I would like to add a song
to the program.
988
00:54:16,583 --> 00:54:18,667
I've been working
on the arrangement.
989
00:54:18,750 --> 00:54:21,458
Thank you.
990
00:54:21,542 --> 00:54:24,000
Does anyone know
where Tyler is today?
991
00:54:24,083 --> 00:54:25,959
No. I haven't seen him
this morning.
992
00:54:26,041 --> 00:54:27,041
Oh.
993
00:54:27,125 --> 00:54:28,291
I can text him.
994
00:54:28,375 --> 00:54:29,834
- Yeah, that would be great.
- Okay.
995
00:54:29,917 --> 00:54:32,417
Okay. Well, let's get started.
996
00:54:34,250 --> 00:54:37,250
So, you had one of your creamy
peppermint-drink thingies?
997
00:54:37,333 --> 00:54:39,041
Peppermint egg cream?
Not yet.
998
00:54:39,125 --> 00:54:40,810
Well, I thought it was
your favorite tradition.
999
00:54:40,834 --> 00:54:42,208
I'll get there eventually.
1000
00:54:42,291 --> 00:54:45,208
Jenny sent Mr. Barkley's
famous recipe over to my mom.
1001
00:54:45,291 --> 00:54:46,583
Good things come...
1002
00:54:46,667 --> 00:54:47,935
to those who wait, yeah, yeah.
1003
00:54:47,959 --> 00:54:49,417
But have you ever considered
1004
00:54:49,500 --> 00:54:51,476
that maybe better things come
to those who seize the day?
1005
00:54:51,500 --> 00:54:52,792
Oh, hey!
1006
00:54:52,875 --> 00:54:54,166
We missed you at rehearsal.
1007
00:54:54,250 --> 00:54:56,041
I'm so sorry.
1008
00:54:56,125 --> 00:54:57,250
I-I completely forgot.
1009
00:54:57,333 --> 00:54:58,583
Well, that's okay.
1010
00:54:58,667 --> 00:54:59,976
We just wanted to make sure
that you're all right.
1011
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,083
We got snow last night,
1012
00:55:02,166 --> 00:55:03,542
and I wanted to make sure
1013
00:55:03,625 --> 00:55:05,458
that the driveway was clear
for my mom,
1014
00:55:05,542 --> 00:55:07,125
and I always help
the neighbors out
1015
00:55:07,208 --> 00:55:08,208
with their firewood.
1016
00:55:09,417 --> 00:55:10,250
You want some help?
1017
00:55:10,333 --> 00:55:11,709
Sure.
1018
00:55:11,792 --> 00:55:12,792
Here.
1019
00:55:15,166 --> 00:55:17,291
So you were gonna do
all of this by yourself?
1020
00:55:17,375 --> 00:55:19,375
My mom's been
working really hard.
1021
00:55:19,458 --> 00:55:22,458
She just picked up
extra shifts at the Orchard,
1022
00:55:22,542 --> 00:55:24,417
and I don't want her
to worry about all this.
1023
00:55:24,500 --> 00:55:25,667
That's very thoughtful.
1024
00:55:25,750 --> 00:55:28,166
Tyler's father's
serving overseas in the Marines.
1025
00:55:28,250 --> 00:55:29,834
And we just found out
1026
00:55:29,917 --> 00:55:31,750
he won't be home for Christmas
this year.
1027
00:55:31,834 --> 00:55:33,250
I'm sorry, Tyler.
1028
00:55:34,750 --> 00:55:36,375
Hey, Tyler.
I'm sure your dad
1029
00:55:36,458 --> 00:55:38,709
would be real proud
of how you're stepping up,
1030
00:55:38,792 --> 00:55:40,875
but it's okay to ask for help.
1031
00:55:40,959 --> 00:55:42,750
You don't have to do this
all alone.
1032
00:55:47,959 --> 00:55:49,333
All right.
1033
00:55:49,417 --> 00:55:50,792
Okay, give me a hand with this.
1034
00:55:50,875 --> 00:55:52,083
Yeah.
1035
00:55:59,959 --> 00:56:02,208
Are these your decorations?
1036
00:56:02,291 --> 00:56:05,041
I got them down
from the attic last week,
1037
00:56:05,125 --> 00:56:07,166
but we haven't had a chance
to put them up.
1038
00:56:08,709 --> 00:56:10,500
You know what?
1039
00:56:10,583 --> 00:56:12,667
I think it's time
we call in the reinforcements.
1040
00:56:19,417 --> 00:56:20,917
Put me in, Coach!
1041
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:24,750
I have never been more ready
to spread some Christmas joy.
1042
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:27,375
Here. Let me help.
1043
00:56:27,458 --> 00:56:28,542
They're amaryllis.
1044
00:56:28,625 --> 00:56:29,917
Poinsettias are tradition,
1045
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:31,875
but amaryllis
have always been my favorite.
1046
00:56:31,959 --> 00:56:34,125
Susan and Jenny said
to water it twice a day,
1047
00:56:34,208 --> 00:56:35,726
and you'll have it
all through the year!
1048
00:56:35,750 --> 00:56:36,959
And...
1049
00:56:37,041 --> 00:56:38,834
George sent you
one of his ornaments.
1050
00:56:38,917 --> 00:56:39,959
Ah.
1051
00:56:40,041 --> 00:56:41,625
Pom-whatters?
1052
00:56:41,709 --> 00:56:43,875
"Pomanders".
1053
00:56:43,959 --> 00:56:45,291
Tell me you've heard of them!
1054
00:56:45,375 --> 00:56:46,417
First for me.
1055
00:56:46,500 --> 00:56:47,875
Well...
1056
00:56:47,959 --> 00:56:50,750
you place whole cloves
into these oranges.
1057
00:56:50,834 --> 00:56:52,208
And then when you hang them,
1058
00:56:52,291 --> 00:56:54,101
they fill the whole house
with the most wonderful scent.
1059
00:56:54,125 --> 00:56:55,291
When my girls were little,
1060
00:56:55,375 --> 00:56:57,333
we used to make these
every Christmas.
1061
00:56:57,417 --> 00:56:59,750
Yeah! Well,
where do we put the cloves?
1062
00:56:59,834 --> 00:57:01,559
Well, in any pattern you like!
You can just get creative.
1063
00:57:01,583 --> 00:57:02,917
They are so easy,
1064
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:06,542
and guaranteed to put
a little happy in your holidays.
1065
00:57:06,625 --> 00:57:07,500
- Okay.
- Wow.
1066
00:57:07,583 --> 00:57:08,709
Um, I'm gonna grab...
1067
00:57:08,792 --> 00:57:10,333
Oh.
1068
00:57:10,417 --> 00:57:11,417
Hold your horses!
1069
00:57:11,458 --> 00:57:12,792
Safety first!
1070
00:57:14,542 --> 00:57:16,000
Okay, um...
1071
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:19,875
She really is one of a kind.
1072
00:57:19,959 --> 00:57:21,917
Some people come into our world
1073
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:24,000
and make things
a little brighter.
1074
00:57:30,750 --> 00:57:31,792
- Oh, yeah.
- Yeah.
1075
00:57:31,875 --> 00:57:33,458
So, uh...
1076
00:57:33,542 --> 00:57:35,875
back to the hotly-debated topic
of fate...
1077
00:57:35,959 --> 00:57:39,166
And you can disagree,
though I wouldn't recommend it...
1078
00:57:39,250 --> 00:57:40,792
It seems to me like
1079
00:57:40,875 --> 00:57:42,795
there's some Christmas magic
happening right now.
1080
00:57:43,959 --> 00:57:45,375
Go on.
1081
00:57:45,458 --> 00:57:48,041
Well, if Tyler hadn't
missed rehearsal today,
1082
00:57:48,125 --> 00:57:50,250
we never would have known
what was going on with him,
1083
00:57:50,333 --> 00:57:52,000
and we wouldn't be here...
1084
00:57:52,083 --> 00:57:53,083
together.
1085
00:57:54,166 --> 00:57:55,667
I don't disagree.
1086
00:58:09,333 --> 00:58:10,709
I like this deal.
1087
00:58:10,792 --> 00:58:12,709
You cook, I wrap.
1088
00:58:12,792 --> 00:58:15,709
Well, if you call reheating
my mom's famous ginger soup
1089
00:58:15,792 --> 00:58:16,792
"cooking",
1090
00:58:16,834 --> 00:58:18,875
I'm in.
1091
00:58:18,959 --> 00:58:20,375
You know, it's too bad
1092
00:58:20,458 --> 00:58:23,291
that Tyler won't get to spend
Christmas with his father.
1093
00:58:23,375 --> 00:58:26,625
Soldiers aren't the only ones
who sacrifice for this country.
1094
00:58:26,709 --> 00:58:28,542
We ask a lot
of their families as well.
1095
00:58:28,625 --> 00:58:31,709
Well, I'm glad we could help
lighten his load a little.
1096
00:58:31,792 --> 00:58:34,041
It was nice to see
everybody chipping in.
1097
00:58:34,125 --> 00:58:36,125
Even George sent an ornament.
1098
00:58:36,208 --> 00:58:37,375
Most people want to help.
1099
00:58:37,458 --> 00:58:38,709
They just need to be asked.
1100
00:58:38,792 --> 00:58:40,083
This is me asking.
1101
00:58:40,166 --> 00:58:41,250
Help!
1102
00:58:41,333 --> 00:58:43,917
Can I get a hand?
1103
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:45,792
Thank you.
1104
00:58:47,917 --> 00:58:50,583
Ooh. I think I got ya.
1105
00:59:18,709 --> 00:59:20,166
That's it!
1106
00:59:48,208 --> 00:59:49,417
Oh, I almost forgot!
1107
00:59:49,500 --> 00:59:51,542
While we're all together,
I'd like to get a photo.
1108
00:59:51,625 --> 00:59:52,667
Oh!
1109
00:59:54,417 --> 00:59:56,125
Okay.
1110
00:59:57,542 --> 00:59:58,810
Well, you need
to get in here, too!
1111
00:59:58,834 --> 01:00:00,291
No, oh, no.
I just meant the choir.
1112
01:00:00,375 --> 01:00:01,726
Well, you're
a member of the choir!
1113
01:00:01,750 --> 01:00:03,250
Face it, you're one of us now.
1114
01:00:03,333 --> 01:00:05,333
That's seven against one.
Come on. Majority rules.
1115
01:00:05,417 --> 01:00:06,875
Okay.
1116
01:00:06,959 --> 01:00:10,583
Um, on the count of three, say,
"deck the halls!"
1117
01:00:11,542 --> 01:00:12,834
All right?
1118
01:00:12,917 --> 01:00:14,875
One, two, three...
1119
01:00:14,959 --> 01:00:16,917
Deck the halls!
1120
01:00:20,667 --> 01:00:22,291
You know, we're only
a few days away
1121
01:00:22,375 --> 01:00:23,417
from Christmas Eve.
1122
01:00:23,500 --> 01:00:26,125
You should all be so proud
1123
01:00:26,208 --> 01:00:27,434
of everything
that you've accomplished.
1124
01:00:27,458 --> 01:00:28,458
Thanks to you!
1125
01:00:28,500 --> 01:00:30,583
And I was thinking...
1126
01:00:30,667 --> 01:00:32,458
I mean, if you're not
in a rush to get home,
1127
01:00:32,542 --> 01:00:35,792
it would be really nice
to celebrate our last rehearsal.
1128
01:00:35,875 --> 01:00:37,458
- Great!
- Yeah!
1129
01:00:37,542 --> 01:00:38,625
As the kids say...
1130
01:00:38,709 --> 01:00:39,709
I'm into it.
1131
01:00:41,542 --> 01:00:43,208
Sure.
What's everyone feel like?
1132
01:00:43,291 --> 01:00:46,542
Well, there happens to be
a special event at the Orchard,
1133
01:00:46,625 --> 01:00:48,583
and...
they're waiting for us.
1134
01:00:48,667 --> 01:00:50,750
I'll get the chapel van!
1135
01:00:53,792 --> 01:00:55,583
A special event?
1136
01:00:55,667 --> 01:00:57,333
What have you been
up to, Ms. Bridges?
1137
01:00:57,417 --> 01:00:59,583
You'll have to wait and see.
1138
01:01:04,917 --> 01:01:05,997
Is this what I think it is?
1139
01:01:06,041 --> 01:01:07,500
You got it.
1140
01:01:07,583 --> 01:01:09,768
We are making Mr. Barkley's
famous peppermint egg creams,
1141
01:01:09,792 --> 01:01:13,250
which, by the way,
contain zero eggs, oddly enough.
1142
01:01:13,333 --> 01:01:14,625
Okay.
Everybody grab a seat.
1143
01:01:14,709 --> 01:01:15,625
Oh!
1144
01:01:15,709 --> 01:01:17,166
How did you...
1145
01:01:17,250 --> 01:01:19,083
I have my ways.
1146
01:01:40,041 --> 01:01:41,125
Very chocolatey!
1147
01:01:56,583 --> 01:01:58,041
Okay, should we cheers?
1148
01:01:58,125 --> 01:01:59,125
Yeah!
1149
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:11,000
We did it!
1150
01:02:12,417 --> 01:02:14,458
This was such a fun idea.
1151
01:02:14,542 --> 01:02:17,917
I'm so glad you suggested it
and made it all happen.
1152
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:19,959
It means a lot to all of us
1153
01:02:20,041 --> 01:02:22,333
that you came here
to help with the choir.
1154
01:02:22,417 --> 01:02:25,250
Well, it's been
a really nice escape.
1155
01:02:26,375 --> 01:02:28,959
I'm so sorry...
about your mom.
1156
01:02:29,041 --> 01:02:30,417
Oh.
1157
01:02:30,500 --> 01:02:31,917
Did Matthew tell you?
1158
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:35,000
No. Uh, my dad mentioned it.
1159
01:02:35,083 --> 01:02:36,750
Oh.
1160
01:02:36,834 --> 01:02:38,750
I don't even
remember telling him,
1161
01:02:38,834 --> 01:02:40,834
but I must have, over lunch.
1162
01:02:44,250 --> 01:02:46,291
You know, you're really lucky,
1163
01:02:46,375 --> 01:02:48,375
for having a father like John.
1164
01:02:48,458 --> 01:02:49,917
You're not close with your dad?
1165
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:52,500
Uh, he passed a few years ago,
1166
01:02:52,583 --> 01:02:55,458
and he was out of my life
well before then.
1167
01:02:55,542 --> 01:02:57,083
Did you stay in touch?
1168
01:02:57,166 --> 01:02:58,417
Did he ever try to contact you?
1169
01:02:58,500 --> 01:03:00,083
Once.
1170
01:03:00,166 --> 01:03:02,667
He sent me a letter
when I turned 18.
1171
01:03:02,750 --> 01:03:05,208
I never even opened it,
to be honest.
1172
01:03:05,291 --> 01:03:08,166
He didn't know anything
about me or my life.
1173
01:03:08,250 --> 01:03:09,875
He even wrote the wrong name.
1174
01:03:09,959 --> 01:03:12,166
Wrong name?
1175
01:03:12,250 --> 01:03:13,959
After he left,
1176
01:03:14,041 --> 01:03:15,750
my mom reverted back
to her maiden name,
1177
01:03:15,834 --> 01:03:17,375
so I took it... "Bridges",
1178
01:03:17,458 --> 01:03:19,083
but my dad's last name
was "Fernie".
1179
01:03:20,250 --> 01:03:21,583
Fernie?
1180
01:03:21,667 --> 01:03:23,083
Mm-hmm.
1181
01:03:24,750 --> 01:03:26,542
Did he have any family?
1182
01:03:26,625 --> 01:03:28,041
I don't know,
1183
01:03:28,125 --> 01:03:30,834
but if he does,
I haven't met them.
1184
01:03:30,917 --> 01:03:34,458
My mom gave me
a really great life.
1185
01:03:34,542 --> 01:03:36,375
She was all the family
I ever needed.
1186
01:03:38,625 --> 01:03:39,750
Seconds?
1187
01:03:39,834 --> 01:03:41,291
Oh... no, thanks.
1188
01:03:57,041 --> 01:03:58,542
Hey. What's that?
1189
01:03:59,792 --> 01:04:02,166
Oh, I found this
on the bus ride here.
1190
01:04:02,250 --> 01:04:04,750
I was kind of nervous,
being back after all this time,
1191
01:04:04,834 --> 01:04:06,375
and I saw that on the ground.
1192
01:04:06,458 --> 01:04:09,333
It reminded me
this is where I belong.
1193
01:04:09,417 --> 01:04:11,208
I think this is Carly's.
1194
01:04:11,291 --> 01:04:13,750
She mentioned losing one
just like it.
1195
01:04:13,834 --> 01:04:14,834
It means a lot to her.
1196
01:04:14,875 --> 01:04:15,875
Isn't that funny?
1197
01:04:15,917 --> 01:04:17,208
You have been carrying it around
1198
01:04:17,291 --> 01:04:18,917
for weeks, and had no idea.
1199
01:04:29,250 --> 01:04:30,250
Hi, Mom.
1200
01:04:30,333 --> 01:04:32,208
Oh, hi, sweetheart.
1201
01:04:32,291 --> 01:04:34,458
I'm making pies
for tomorrow night.
1202
01:04:34,542 --> 01:04:36,333
- Any requests?
- Cherry?
1203
01:04:36,417 --> 01:04:38,709
Of course.
It's already on the list.
1204
01:04:38,792 --> 01:04:40,458
That's Carly's favorite, too.
1205
01:04:41,583 --> 01:04:43,375
It's been great having her here.
1206
01:04:43,458 --> 01:04:44,500
Hasn't it?
1207
01:04:44,583 --> 01:04:45,893
And the choir's
never sounded better.
1208
01:04:45,917 --> 01:04:47,917
Yeah. Well, it's lucky
you found her profile.
1209
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:50,417
Mm-hmm.
1210
01:04:50,500 --> 01:04:52,625
What about it stood out to you?
1211
01:04:52,709 --> 01:04:54,458
To bring her
all the way from Philadelphia,
1212
01:04:54,542 --> 01:04:57,166
there must have been something
that caught your eye.
1213
01:04:57,250 --> 01:04:59,291
Something... more?
1214
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:02,917
Mom?
1215
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:05,166
What aren't you telling me?
1216
01:05:31,333 --> 01:05:33,083
Ahem.
1217
01:05:43,083 --> 01:05:45,583
I've been thinking about her
a lot lately.
1218
01:05:46,875 --> 01:05:48,475
Well, Christmas
is a time for reflection.
1219
01:05:50,250 --> 01:05:52,375
I wish you could've
had a chance to meet her.
1220
01:05:53,792 --> 01:05:56,667
You would've
really liked my mom.
1221
01:05:56,750 --> 01:05:58,667
Well, if she was
anything like you,
1222
01:05:58,750 --> 01:06:00,750
I'm sure I would have.
1223
01:06:05,542 --> 01:06:09,542
I've felt so lost
1224
01:06:09,625 --> 01:06:11,000
ever since she died.
1225
01:06:13,375 --> 01:06:18,375
I mean, I-I know we all feel
a little bit lost sometimes,
1226
01:06:18,458 --> 01:06:23,500
but she was always the person
that I turned to...
1227
01:06:23,583 --> 01:06:25,417
you know?
1228
01:06:28,709 --> 01:06:31,291
I don't know
how to do this without her.
1229
01:06:32,625 --> 01:06:35,959
Carly, your mother gave you
a beautiful gift...
1230
01:06:36,041 --> 01:06:40,834
and you keep her memory alive
with every student you inspire.
1231
01:06:42,542 --> 01:06:44,583
We're alike, you and me.
1232
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:47,417
How?
1233
01:06:47,500 --> 01:06:50,375
We do what we do
to reach people...
1234
01:06:50,458 --> 01:06:52,583
move them,
1235
01:06:52,667 --> 01:06:54,250
touch their hearts.
1236
01:06:56,458 --> 01:06:59,792
We are following a calling.
1237
01:07:07,417 --> 01:07:08,875
Thank you.
1238
01:07:25,041 --> 01:07:27,208
Pardon the interruption,
everyone!
1239
01:07:27,291 --> 01:07:29,709
I just wanted to thank Diane
1240
01:07:29,792 --> 01:07:33,625
for hosting this year's
Christmas Eve-Eve party.
1241
01:07:36,041 --> 01:07:37,667
But I also think
1242
01:07:37,750 --> 01:07:40,166
we should have a few words
1243
01:07:40,250 --> 01:07:43,125
from our fearless leader, Carly!
1244
01:07:43,208 --> 01:07:44,500
Come on! Whoo!
1245
01:07:46,959 --> 01:07:47,959
Thank you, Alice.
1246
01:07:48,041 --> 01:07:49,583
Um, first of all,
1247
01:07:49,667 --> 01:07:52,041
thank you all
for your hard work,
1248
01:07:52,125 --> 01:07:55,667
and for letting me
into your lives.
1249
01:07:55,750 --> 01:08:00,375
These past few weeks
have been so special,
1250
01:08:00,458 --> 01:08:02,625
and you are all the reason why.
1251
01:08:02,709 --> 01:08:06,250
I-I thought
that this was going to be
1252
01:08:06,333 --> 01:08:10,166
my first Christmas
without any family...
1253
01:08:10,250 --> 01:08:11,750
but I was wrong.
1254
01:08:13,333 --> 01:08:14,333
So...
1255
01:08:14,375 --> 01:08:16,041
to family...
1256
01:08:16,125 --> 01:08:18,083
Wherever you find them.
1257
01:08:18,166 --> 01:08:19,875
- Hear, hear!
- Cheers!
1258
01:08:19,959 --> 01:08:21,208
The best.
1259
01:08:31,583 --> 01:08:32,583
You're the best.
1260
01:08:32,625 --> 01:08:33,625
- Cheers.
- Cheers!
1261
01:08:40,041 --> 01:08:41,917
So here's where you ran off to.
1262
01:08:44,083 --> 01:08:45,834
You remember?
1263
01:08:45,917 --> 01:08:47,393
How we used to sneak out
during the party
1264
01:08:47,417 --> 01:08:49,250
and look at the stars?
1265
01:08:49,333 --> 01:08:51,375
You mean try and spot Santa?
1266
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:56,500
Feels like a lifetime ago.
1267
01:09:09,667 --> 01:09:12,208
It's been nice, having you home,
1268
01:09:12,291 --> 01:09:14,458
if I haven't said that before.
1269
01:09:14,542 --> 01:09:16,041
Yeah, it's been nice being home.
1270
01:09:17,375 --> 01:09:19,166
Want to know something funny?
1271
01:09:19,250 --> 01:09:22,417
The day I dropped you off
at the bus station,
1272
01:09:22,500 --> 01:09:23,875
I was gonna kiss you.
1273
01:09:23,959 --> 01:09:25,083
- You were?
- Yeah!
1274
01:09:25,166 --> 01:09:26,375
I had it all planned out.
1275
01:09:26,458 --> 01:09:27,643
I was gonna tell you
I had a crush on you,
1276
01:09:27,667 --> 01:09:30,083
and that we should date
long distance.
1277
01:09:31,208 --> 01:09:32,417
Uh, and why didn't you?
1278
01:09:32,500 --> 01:09:34,834
Cold feet, I guess.
1279
01:09:34,917 --> 01:09:36,875
I didn't want to ruin
our friendship,
1280
01:09:36,959 --> 01:09:38,750
in case it didn't work out.
1281
01:09:38,834 --> 01:09:42,375
I used to wonder how things
would be different
1282
01:09:42,458 --> 01:09:44,000
if I had,
1283
01:09:44,083 --> 01:09:46,375
and I wondered if maybe
you had the same regrets.
1284
01:09:48,750 --> 01:09:51,875
I'd be lying
if I said I didn't...
1285
01:09:51,959 --> 01:09:55,750
wonder if we had
missed our shot at something.
1286
01:09:55,834 --> 01:09:59,250
I think we're exactly
where we're supposed to be.
1287
01:10:01,375 --> 01:10:02,625
Friends for life?
1288
01:10:02,709 --> 01:10:04,417
Friends for life.
1289
01:10:13,375 --> 01:10:14,583
Friends for life.
1290
01:10:42,750 --> 01:10:44,667
Hey! You leaving?
1291
01:10:46,083 --> 01:10:49,625
Uh... clock strikes 10:00,
and I turn into a pumpkin.
1292
01:10:49,709 --> 01:10:52,125
Somehow, I doubt that's true.
1293
01:10:53,375 --> 01:10:55,250
Um, I have something for you.
1294
01:10:56,542 --> 01:10:57,750
I believe this belongs to you.
1295
01:10:58,750 --> 01:10:59,750
My gosh!
1296
01:10:59,792 --> 01:11:01,709
My pick!
1297
01:11:01,792 --> 01:11:03,792
Where did you get this?
1298
01:11:03,875 --> 01:11:06,875
Turns out
we were on the same bus.
1299
01:11:06,959 --> 01:11:08,709
I've been carrying this around
for weeks.
1300
01:11:09,625 --> 01:11:11,041
Wow.
1301
01:11:11,125 --> 01:11:14,458
I was worried that
that was gone forever.
1302
01:11:14,542 --> 01:11:17,709
I guess the right person
found it.
1303
01:11:22,917 --> 01:11:25,834
That was a beautiful speech
you made in there.
1304
01:11:27,166 --> 01:11:29,875
I meant it.
1305
01:11:29,959 --> 01:11:32,709
It's gonna be really hard
to say goodbye to the choir
1306
01:11:32,792 --> 01:11:34,083
when this is all over.
1307
01:11:34,166 --> 01:11:37,792
I thought maybe you'd stay
around for a little while.
1308
01:11:39,375 --> 01:11:42,291
I did what
I came here to do, so.
1309
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:48,750
I should really get going.
Tomorrow's the big day.
1310
01:11:48,834 --> 01:11:50,125
Yeah.
1311
01:11:50,208 --> 01:11:52,458
I-Is... Is everything okay?
1312
01:11:52,542 --> 01:11:56,208
Yeah. I'm just tired.
1313
01:11:56,291 --> 01:11:59,500
Okay. I-I'll let you go, then.
1314
01:11:59,583 --> 01:12:00,917
Goodnight.
1315
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:02,375
'Night.
1316
01:12:23,250 --> 01:12:25,041
Come in.
1317
01:12:27,750 --> 01:12:29,709
What is this?
1318
01:12:29,792 --> 01:12:31,333
A gift.
1319
01:12:31,417 --> 01:12:32,792
You didn't need
to get me a gift.
1320
01:12:32,875 --> 01:12:35,500
Well, nobody needs
to get anybody a gift.
1321
01:12:35,583 --> 01:12:36,583
Open it.
1322
01:12:40,375 --> 01:12:41,625
Tsk.
1323
01:12:43,542 --> 01:12:46,291
I thought you might like
to add it to the wall.
1324
01:12:46,375 --> 01:12:48,750
It is certainly
a choir worth remembering.
1325
01:12:48,834 --> 01:12:50,750
Thank you.
1326
01:12:50,834 --> 01:12:52,750
I'm gonna find
something to hang it.
1327
01:12:52,834 --> 01:12:53,583
Okay.
1328
01:12:53,667 --> 01:12:55,500
I'll be right back.
1329
01:13:11,750 --> 01:13:13,333
"Fernie"?
1330
01:13:14,875 --> 01:13:16,125
Hi, Carly.
1331
01:13:16,208 --> 01:13:17,375
Hi.
1332
01:13:17,458 --> 01:13:18,959
Oh. Are you sure
you don't want
1333
01:13:19,041 --> 01:13:20,561
to just swap out
one of the old photos?
1334
01:13:20,625 --> 01:13:21,625
Mm, there's room.
1335
01:13:21,709 --> 01:13:22,750
Okay.
1336
01:13:22,834 --> 01:13:24,458
Your maiden name was "Fernie"?
1337
01:13:30,709 --> 01:13:31,709
Yes.
1338
01:13:31,750 --> 01:13:33,417
It was.
1339
01:13:33,500 --> 01:13:36,583
My father's last name
was "Fernie".
1340
01:13:36,667 --> 01:13:38,625
I know.
1341
01:13:41,959 --> 01:13:44,917
Ahem.
1342
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:46,291
He was my brother.
1343
01:13:47,583 --> 01:13:49,333
Uh...
1344
01:13:49,417 --> 01:13:51,000
I-I don't understand.
1345
01:13:52,709 --> 01:13:54,458
How could you not tell me?
1346
01:13:54,542 --> 01:13:56,667
We didn't want
to disrupt your life.
1347
01:13:56,750 --> 01:13:58,208
We heard about your mother...
1348
01:13:59,500 --> 01:14:01,458
and we couldn't bear the thought
1349
01:14:01,542 --> 01:14:03,375
of you spending
a Christmas alone.
1350
01:14:03,458 --> 01:14:05,178
We just wanted you
to have a nice holiday...
1351
01:14:06,375 --> 01:14:08,917
but you have
given us so much more.
1352
01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:11,834
We're sorry we didn't tell you.
It was a mistake.
1353
01:14:11,917 --> 01:14:13,557
Uh, I need some air.
1354
01:14:15,333 --> 01:14:16,250
Oh!
1355
01:14:16,333 --> 01:14:17,333
It's okay.
1356
01:14:51,959 --> 01:14:53,041
Carly...
1357
01:14:54,792 --> 01:14:57,000
we understand if you need to go.
1358
01:14:57,083 --> 01:14:58,101
And we completely understand
1359
01:14:58,125 --> 01:14:59,959
if you're upset with us.
1360
01:15:00,959 --> 01:15:02,625
I'm not upset.
1361
01:15:02,709 --> 01:15:05,750
I have a million questions...
1362
01:15:07,041 --> 01:15:09,583
and I do wish
that you would have told me...
1363
01:15:11,417 --> 01:15:13,250
but I don't regret coming here.
1364
01:15:19,333 --> 01:15:22,291
So...
1365
01:15:22,375 --> 01:15:23,542
you're my aunt?
1366
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:26,625
Yes.
1367
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:34,792
Uh...
1368
01:15:34,875 --> 01:15:36,250
what do you want to know?
1369
01:15:36,333 --> 01:15:38,208
Uh...
1370
01:15:38,291 --> 01:15:39,500
Everything?
1371
01:15:54,959 --> 01:15:58,458
You still haven't learned
how to tie one of those things?
1372
01:15:58,542 --> 01:16:00,792
Aren't you supposed
to be doing your fancy warm-ups?
1373
01:16:00,875 --> 01:16:02,417
This is an emergency.
1374
01:16:02,500 --> 01:16:03,667
What's an emergency?
1375
01:16:03,750 --> 01:16:05,625
You!
1376
01:16:05,709 --> 01:16:08,333
I hardly think my tie
constitutes an emergency.
1377
01:16:08,417 --> 01:16:09,875
I'm not talking about the tie.
1378
01:16:09,959 --> 01:16:11,667
I'm talking about Carly.
1379
01:16:11,750 --> 01:16:13,458
What about Carly?
1380
01:16:13,542 --> 01:16:15,166
Oh, brother.
1381
01:16:15,250 --> 01:16:17,208
Number one, she's going home.
1382
01:16:17,291 --> 01:16:19,041
Number two...
1383
01:16:19,125 --> 01:16:21,834
You need to go after
the life that you want now,
1384
01:16:21,917 --> 01:16:23,041
not tomorrow.
1385
01:16:23,125 --> 01:16:25,166
Today.
1386
01:16:25,250 --> 01:16:27,208
She saw you and Jenny
on the porch last night.
1387
01:16:28,625 --> 01:16:31,000
Go. Fix it.
1388
01:16:31,083 --> 01:16:33,709
Maybe you can give her
a reason to stay.
1389
01:17:07,875 --> 01:17:09,125
Hey.
1390
01:17:09,208 --> 01:17:11,041
Hi.
1391
01:17:13,208 --> 01:17:15,417
I just want you to know...
1392
01:17:15,500 --> 01:17:18,000
Jenny, we're just friends.
1393
01:17:19,917 --> 01:17:22,333
You're a good man, Matthew.
1394
01:17:22,417 --> 01:17:26,959
One of the kindest
that I've ever known,
1395
01:17:27,041 --> 01:17:29,041
and I guess
1396
01:17:29,125 --> 01:17:31,667
what I'm trying to say is...
1397
01:17:33,875 --> 01:17:36,208
I like you, too.
1398
01:17:45,583 --> 01:17:47,834
You brought
your mom's snow globe.
1399
01:17:49,125 --> 01:17:50,583
Yeah.
1400
01:17:50,667 --> 01:17:53,041
Best seat in the house.
1401
01:17:53,125 --> 01:17:54,375
She's here, you know.
1402
01:17:54,458 --> 01:17:57,625
You have family here.
1403
01:17:57,709 --> 01:17:59,917
I do... actually.
1404
01:18:01,750 --> 01:18:03,542
More than you know.
1405
01:18:03,625 --> 01:18:05,709
Christmas reminds us
1406
01:18:05,792 --> 01:18:09,291
of the very best
we have to offer...
1407
01:18:09,375 --> 01:18:12,250
kindness,
1408
01:18:12,333 --> 01:18:13,250
charity,
1409
01:18:13,333 --> 01:18:15,583
community...
1410
01:18:15,667 --> 01:18:16,792
hope.
1411
01:18:16,875 --> 01:18:19,083
Tomorrow morning, we'll wake up,
1412
01:18:19,166 --> 01:18:20,434
and we'll head
to our Christmas trees
1413
01:18:20,458 --> 01:18:21,709
and we'll exchange our gifts.
1414
01:18:21,792 --> 01:18:24,583
But there will be
one gift exchanged
1415
01:18:24,667 --> 01:18:27,834
more precious than the rest...
1416
01:18:27,917 --> 01:18:28,917
time.
1417
01:18:30,333 --> 01:18:33,250
Each moment
that we share with each other
1418
01:18:33,333 --> 01:18:37,125
creates a ripple
that extends much, much further
1419
01:18:37,208 --> 01:18:39,208
than we ever pause to consider.
1420
01:18:39,291 --> 01:18:41,834
Even the briefest encounter
1421
01:18:41,917 --> 01:18:44,834
has the potential
to shape a life.
1422
01:18:49,208 --> 01:18:52,667
Now, it is my privilege
to introduce our choir
1423
01:18:52,750 --> 01:18:55,125
to sing
in celebration of this night.
1424
01:18:55,208 --> 01:18:58,625
They are a wonderful reminder
1425
01:18:58,709 --> 01:19:00,083
that our song is most beautiful
1426
01:19:00,166 --> 01:19:02,667
when we sing it with others.
1427
01:19:12,667 --> 01:19:13,750
Take a deep breath.
1428
01:19:15,875 --> 01:19:17,875
Sing for each other.
1429
01:19:17,959 --> 01:19:19,875
You got this.
1430
01:20:45,667 --> 01:20:47,417
You were wonderful, sweetheart.
1431
01:20:47,500 --> 01:20:48,500
Thanks, Mom.
1432
01:20:48,542 --> 01:20:51,041
Oh... wow! Wow!
1433
01:20:51,125 --> 01:20:54,041
- Yeah, you were pretty good.
- Yeah, you too.
1434
01:20:57,500 --> 01:20:58,959
I'm so proud of you.
1435
01:21:04,875 --> 01:21:06,125
Your mom was good, too.
1436
01:21:07,834 --> 01:21:09,542
Next year,
we should expand the program
1437
01:21:09,625 --> 01:21:10,792
to four or five songs.
1438
01:21:10,875 --> 01:21:11,875
What do you think?
1439
01:21:11,959 --> 01:21:14,000
Next year, as in January?
1440
01:21:14,083 --> 01:21:16,083
Well, if you stay,
1441
01:21:16,166 --> 01:21:17,333
we would love
1442
01:21:17,417 --> 01:21:19,959
to have you continue
working with the choir.
1443
01:21:22,333 --> 01:21:24,458
Can you excuse me for a second?
1444
01:21:36,792 --> 01:21:39,917
Mom, I don't know
how you did this.
1445
01:21:41,834 --> 01:21:43,667
Thank you.
1446
01:21:54,917 --> 01:21:58,125
Ever since I've been back...
1447
01:21:58,208 --> 01:22:01,792
I've been thinking about...
1448
01:22:01,875 --> 01:22:04,083
all the choices
I've made in my life.
1449
01:22:05,959 --> 01:22:10,208
Things I've done in the past
maybe I'd do differently,
1450
01:22:10,291 --> 01:22:13,000
all the "might've beens".
1451
01:22:13,083 --> 01:22:15,583
We all have regrets.
1452
01:22:17,834 --> 01:22:19,041
I don't.
1453
01:22:23,625 --> 01:22:25,834
The way you care about people...
1454
01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:30,458
your generosity, your passion,
1455
01:22:30,542 --> 01:22:32,667
the way you brought
this community together...
1456
01:22:32,750 --> 01:22:35,208
I've never felt more at home
in my life.
1457
01:22:36,542 --> 01:22:38,750
It's all because of you.
1458
01:22:42,041 --> 01:22:44,417
I don't have
a single regret, Carly,
1459
01:22:44,500 --> 01:22:47,375
because every choice I've made
has led me to this moment...
1460
01:22:50,458 --> 01:22:51,667
with you.
1461
01:23:07,417 --> 01:23:09,125
Midnight.
1462
01:23:09,208 --> 01:23:11,250
It's Christmas.
1463
01:23:11,333 --> 01:23:13,583
Merry Christmas, Carly.
1464
01:23:13,667 --> 01:23:15,583
Merry Christmas.
