[reporter]: It's
officially Christmas time
13
00:00:38,734 --> 00:00:40,040
here at
the Radcliffe Center,
14
00:00:40,083 --> 00:00:41,911
and all of Chicago
is gathered
15
00:00:41,954 --> 00:00:42,912
to watch the lighting
16
00:00:42,955 --> 00:00:44,392
of the Radcliffe
Christmas tree,
17
00:00:44,435 --> 00:00:46,002
and here with us,
18
00:00:46,046 --> 00:00:48,874
we have Chicago's
very own "Miss Christmas."
19
00:00:48,918 --> 00:00:50,963
You can call me Holly.
20
00:00:51,007 --> 00:00:51,921
Oh, Holly,
and you are the one to thank
21
00:00:51,964 --> 00:00:53,357
for that stunning tree.
22
00:00:53,401 --> 00:00:56,099
We are only moments away
now from the lighting,
23
00:00:56,143 --> 00:00:58,101
and Holly is
the creative director
24
00:00:58,145 --> 00:00:59,494
for the Radcliffe Center,
25
00:00:59,537 --> 00:01:01,800
and each year,
she finds, transports,
26
00:01:01,844 --> 00:01:03,019
and facilitates
27
00:01:03,063 --> 00:01:05,674
decorating Chicago's
Christmas tree.
28
00:01:05,717 --> 00:01:07,110
It's a dream job come true.
29
00:01:07,154 --> 00:01:08,981
[crowd]: Nine, eight, seven,
30
00:01:09,025 --> 00:01:10,461
six, five...
31
00:01:10,505 --> 00:01:12,115
Here we go!
32
00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:14,204
[crowd]:
Three, two, one!
33
00:01:14,248 --> 00:01:15,814
[cheering]
34
00:01:23,561 --> 00:01:25,389
[reporter]:
Isn't that beautiful?
35
00:01:25,433 --> 00:01:28,131
Chicago's symbol of Christmas.
36
00:01:28,175 --> 00:01:30,002
[over TV recording]:
I have no doubt
37
00:01:30,046 --> 00:01:33,528
that next year's tree will be
bigger and better than ever.
38
00:01:33,571 --> 00:01:34,920
No pressure.
39
00:01:34,964 --> 00:01:37,314
I can't believe a
year's gone by already.
40
00:01:37,358 --> 00:01:38,881
For once in my life,
41
00:01:38,924 --> 00:01:40,056
I thought I made it
to the office before you.
42
00:01:40,100 --> 00:01:41,492
There's always tomorrow.
43
00:01:41,536 --> 00:01:43,712
Thanks. You're a lifesaver.
44
00:01:43,755 --> 00:01:45,627
Today is definitely
a coffee kind of day.
45
00:01:45,670 --> 00:01:47,019
I did not get
any sleep last night,
46
00:01:47,063 --> 00:01:47,933
and I have a million
things to do.
47
00:01:47,977 --> 00:01:49,239
Is one of those things
48
00:01:49,283 --> 00:01:50,806
watching last year's
tree ceremony
49
00:01:50,849 --> 00:01:52,242
for the hundredth time?
50
00:01:52,286 --> 00:01:54,244
You know how happy
it makes me,
51
00:01:54,288 --> 00:01:56,246
and right now, I need
all the reassurance I can get.
52
00:01:56,290 --> 00:01:57,639
Holly, relax.
53
00:01:57,682 --> 00:02:00,772
I just spoke with transport,
and all is good.
54
00:02:00,816 --> 00:02:03,079
They've secured the trunk.
They're about ready to cut.
55
00:02:03,123 --> 00:02:04,124
The tree will be here
by tonight.
56
00:02:04,167 --> 00:02:05,125
Yeah, fingers crossed.
57
00:02:05,168 --> 00:02:05,908
[phone rings]
58
00:02:05,951 --> 00:02:07,518
Hello?
59
00:02:07,562 --> 00:02:09,651
Okay, yeah, yeah,
I'll be right there.
60
00:02:13,437 --> 00:02:14,699
I still think
I should've gone out there.
61
00:02:14,743 --> 00:02:15,744
I always go...
62
00:02:15,787 --> 00:02:17,093
And run yourself ragged,
63
00:02:17,137 --> 00:02:18,138
and micro-manage
everything,
64
00:02:18,181 --> 00:02:19,574
and end up exhausted
65
00:02:19,617 --> 00:02:21,053
and unable to enjoy
the tree lighting ceremony.
66
00:02:21,097 --> 00:02:22,359
Yeah.
67
00:02:22,403 --> 00:02:23,839
That's my Christmas
tradition.
68
00:02:23,882 --> 00:02:26,363
Why don't we find
a new tradition this year?
69
00:02:26,407 --> 00:02:28,409
Like what?
70
00:02:28,452 --> 00:02:30,193
Like getting
out of our comfort zone,
71
00:02:30,237 --> 00:02:31,673
back on the market?
72
00:02:31,716 --> 00:02:33,153
I got us two tickets
73
00:02:33,196 --> 00:02:34,676
to a speed dating event.
74
00:02:34,719 --> 00:02:36,373
[squeals]
75
00:02:36,417 --> 00:02:37,635
Do you have anything else
to wear, though?
76
00:02:37,679 --> 00:02:38,941
'Cause it looks
77
00:02:38,984 --> 00:02:40,682
like Mrs. Claus
chose your outfit again.
78
00:02:40,725 --> 00:02:42,118
I think you should be
a little nicer
79
00:02:42,162 --> 00:02:43,946
to someone who brings you coffee
every morning
80
00:02:43,989 --> 00:02:45,208
and who is your boss...
81
00:02:47,210 --> 00:02:49,908
and I appreciate you
thinking of me, but no.
82
00:02:49,952 --> 00:02:52,215
Look, I have to be here
for when the tree arrives,
83
00:02:52,259 --> 00:02:53,651
and I've so much to do.
84
00:02:53,695 --> 00:02:55,305
All you do is work.
85
00:02:55,349 --> 00:02:56,350
That's not true.
86
00:02:56,393 --> 00:02:57,525
I do other things.
87
00:02:57,568 --> 00:02:58,743
Yeah?
88
00:02:58,787 --> 00:03:01,181
-Like what?
-Like...
89
00:03:01,224 --> 00:03:02,312
like Christmas!
90
00:03:02,356 --> 00:03:03,661
-Oh.
-Okay?
91
00:03:03,705 --> 00:03:05,010
And after the Radcliffe
tree arrives,
92
00:03:05,054 --> 00:03:06,664
I'm going to go home
and decorate my tree.
93
00:03:06,708 --> 00:03:08,449
There's 24 more days
until Christmas.
94
00:03:08,492 --> 00:03:09,841
I know,
and I'm running out of time.
95
00:03:09,885 --> 00:03:11,669
Listen, Erin,
96
00:03:11,713 --> 00:03:13,018
I appreciate
your ongoing meddling
97
00:03:13,062 --> 00:03:14,063
into my personal life,
98
00:03:14,106 --> 00:03:15,673
but I'm a little
busy right now,
99
00:03:15,717 --> 00:03:17,762
orchestrating
cutting down...
100
00:03:17,806 --> 00:03:19,242
[both]:
A 95-foot-tall spruce
101
00:03:19,286 --> 00:03:20,417
and getting it trucked
across the state.
102
00:03:20,461 --> 00:03:21,636
-Really?
-I'm sorry.
103
00:03:21,679 --> 00:03:23,246
I just...
104
00:03:23,290 --> 00:03:24,813
I want to see you
spend the holidays with someone.
105
00:03:24,856 --> 00:03:26,293
And I want that too.
106
00:03:26,336 --> 00:03:27,816
It's just...
107
00:03:27,859 --> 00:03:29,165
I'm busy right now,
108
00:03:29,209 --> 00:03:30,688
and I'm trying
to focus on my career.
109
00:03:30,732 --> 00:03:31,907
Dating takes time,
110
00:03:31,950 --> 00:03:34,039
and it's really
distracting.
111
00:03:34,083 --> 00:03:36,172
I just want to get my career
to where it needs to be,
112
00:03:36,216 --> 00:03:37,391
and then...
113
00:03:37,434 --> 00:03:38,392
you know...
114
00:03:38,435 --> 00:03:39,871
we'll see.
115
00:03:39,915 --> 00:03:42,265
Wouldn't it be nice
to bring a date
116
00:03:42,309 --> 00:03:43,832
to the tree lighting
ceremony?
117
00:03:43,875 --> 00:03:46,182
I just want there
to be a tree lighting ceremony.
118
00:03:46,226 --> 00:03:48,532
Everything is on schedule.
What could possibly go wrong?
119
00:03:48,576 --> 00:03:50,578
[woman]:
Holly!
120
00:03:54,364 --> 00:03:55,974
Um...
121
00:03:57,802 --> 00:03:58,716
Did you see this?
122
00:03:58,760 --> 00:03:59,804
Oh...
123
00:03:59,848 --> 00:04:01,371
Uh...
124
00:04:01,415 --> 00:04:03,808
[gasps]
What happened?
125
00:04:03,852 --> 00:04:06,333
It looks
like the crane swiped it,
126
00:04:06,376 --> 00:04:07,725
breaking off the branches...
127
00:04:07,769 --> 00:04:10,075
Rendering it unusable.
It's ruined.
128
00:04:10,119 --> 00:04:12,295
No, it's not
ruined. It's...
129
00:04:14,210 --> 00:04:16,343
Okay, it's ruined.
Um...
130
00:04:16,386 --> 00:04:17,779
but it's going
to be fine.
131
00:04:17,822 --> 00:04:19,041
We can fix this.
132
00:04:19,084 --> 00:04:20,129
How?
133
00:04:20,172 --> 00:04:21,130
I...
134
00:04:23,132 --> 00:04:24,742
I'm going to find
another tree.
135
00:04:24,786 --> 00:04:26,266
Find another...?
136
00:04:26,309 --> 00:04:28,833
You just spent all year
finding this tree.
137
00:04:28,877 --> 00:04:30,531
How are you going
to find another tree
138
00:04:30,574 --> 00:04:32,489
and get it here
and get it decorated
139
00:04:32,533 --> 00:04:33,664
in time for the
tree-lighting ceremony
140
00:04:33,708 --> 00:04:36,101
in 10 days?
141
00:04:36,145 --> 00:04:37,755
Thank you, Andrea.
142
00:04:37,799 --> 00:04:39,496
That's very helpful.
143
00:04:41,455 --> 00:04:43,457
[whispering to self]
Okay, focus, Holly.
144
00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:45,328
You are Miss Christmas.
145
00:04:45,372 --> 00:04:46,634
[normal voice]
I am Miss Christmas.
146
00:04:46,677 --> 00:04:48,244
This is what I do,
147
00:04:48,288 --> 00:04:50,768
and I am going
to figure this out.
148
00:04:52,901 --> 00:04:54,294
Apparently, yes. Yeah.
149
00:05:15,489 --> 00:05:18,622
You know, maybe
this is a good thing.
150
00:05:18,666 --> 00:05:22,974
Yeah, that tree was beautiful,
but it never felt right.
151
00:05:23,018 --> 00:05:26,804
It never felt like "the" tree.
152
00:05:26,848 --> 00:05:28,371
Maybe this happened
for a reason.
153
00:05:28,415 --> 00:05:31,722
Are you actually finding
the silver lining?
154
00:05:31,766 --> 00:05:33,463
My dad always said,
155
00:05:33,507 --> 00:05:35,596
"When things go wrong,
don't go with them."
156
00:05:35,639 --> 00:05:37,511
I know the perfect
tree is out there,
157
00:05:37,554 --> 00:05:39,034
and I'm going to find it.
158
00:05:39,077 --> 00:05:40,252
Clear my schedule.
159
00:05:40,296 --> 00:05:41,384
But what about
the speed dating?
160
00:05:41,428 --> 00:05:43,908
Maybe you can find
your perfect man.
161
00:05:43,952 --> 00:05:45,519
The only thing that's harder
162
00:05:45,562 --> 00:05:46,781
than finding
the perfect Christmas tree
163
00:05:46,824 --> 00:05:49,566
is finding the perfect man,
164
00:05:49,610 --> 00:05:51,873
but at least the perfect tree
really does exist.
165
00:05:57,531 --> 00:05:58,880
[Erin]:
We have spent hours
166
00:05:58,923 --> 00:05:59,968
looking for a new tree!
167
00:06:00,011 --> 00:06:01,883
[Holly]:
How about these?
168
00:06:03,363 --> 00:06:04,407
You've looked through those
already.
169
00:06:04,451 --> 00:06:06,366
What haven't I looked through?
170
00:06:06,409 --> 00:06:07,584
You've looked
through everything.
171
00:06:09,847 --> 00:06:11,414
There has to be something.
172
00:06:13,547 --> 00:06:14,809
[gasps]
173
00:06:14,852 --> 00:06:16,158
What about
the tree submissions
174
00:06:16,201 --> 00:06:17,464
we got in the mail?
175
00:06:17,507 --> 00:06:18,682
They've been coming
in all year.
176
00:06:23,470 --> 00:06:25,036
Oh.
177
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,821
Yeah. Guess I'm not going
speed dating tonight.
178
00:06:26,864 --> 00:06:29,040
No, no, no. You go.
I got this.
179
00:06:29,084 --> 00:06:30,302
Are you sure?
180
00:06:30,346 --> 00:06:32,043
Yeah. Definitely, yes.
181
00:06:32,087 --> 00:06:34,437
Definitely, yeah.
182
00:06:34,481 --> 00:06:36,526
Well, it is

00:14:52,239 --> 00:14:53,936
but today, I'm here
because I'm hoping
368
00:14:53,980 --> 00:14:55,198
you could help me
look for somebody.
369
00:14:55,242 --> 00:14:56,112
Sure.
370
00:14:56,156 --> 00:14:57,113
I'm the Creative Director
371
00:14:57,157 --> 00:14:59,202
at the Radcliffe Center,
372
00:14:59,246 --> 00:15:00,160
and it's my job
to find the tree
373
00:15:00,203 --> 00:15:01,204
that goes in the plaza.
374
00:15:01,248 --> 00:15:03,119
So cool!
375
00:15:03,163 --> 00:15:04,729
We watch that on TV.
376
00:15:04,773 --> 00:15:06,731
I am so looking forward
to this year's tree.
377
00:15:06,775 --> 00:15:09,647
Well, that's actually
why I'm here.
378
00:15:09,691 --> 00:15:12,172
We were looking
for a new tree,
379
00:15:12,215 --> 00:15:15,131
and then I got
this letter.
380
00:15:17,133 --> 00:15:19,179
I know
this is a long shot,
381
00:15:19,222 --> 00:15:21,137
but do you happen
to know Joey McNary?
382
00:15:22,922 --> 00:15:24,749
Not such a long shot.
383
00:15:24,793 --> 00:15:25,881
I'm his aunt.
384
00:15:25,925 --> 00:15:26,795
Come on!
385
00:15:26,838 --> 00:15:28,057
I'm Aimee McNary.
386
00:15:28,101 --> 00:15:28,971
Are you serious?
387
00:15:29,015 --> 00:15:30,973
Wow.
388
00:15:31,017 --> 00:15:31,843
It's a small world.
389
00:15:31,887 --> 00:15:33,497
Oh...
390
00:15:33,541 --> 00:15:35,064
I could introduce you
to his dad, my brother Sam.
391
00:15:35,108 --> 00:15:36,848
Yeah!
392
00:15:36,892 --> 00:15:38,024
How about
I take you to our family farm?
393
00:15:38,067 --> 00:15:39,329
Okay!
394
00:15:54,083 --> 00:15:55,345
Oh, I love
your farm!
395
00:15:55,389 --> 00:15:58,348
It reminds me
of where I grew up.
396
00:15:58,392 --> 00:16:01,047
So many gorgeous trees.
397
00:16:01,090 --> 00:16:02,396
You have such a fun job.
398
00:16:02,439 --> 00:16:04,572
Well, it's harder
than it looks
399
00:16:04,615 --> 00:16:05,877
to find
the perfect Christmas tree.
400
00:16:05,921 --> 00:16:07,444
Why?
401
00:16:07,488 --> 00:16:09,316
Well, in addition
to being the perfect height
402
00:16:09,359 --> 00:16:11,448
and shape and color,
403
00:16:11,492 --> 00:16:14,147
the tree has to have
that X factor,
404
00:16:14,190 --> 00:16:16,105
that star quality.
405
00:16:16,149 --> 00:16:18,325
What's so special
about our tree?
406
00:16:18,368 --> 00:16:21,415
It just feels
meant to be.
407
00:16:21,458 --> 00:16:23,025
I mean,
I get Joey's letter,
408
00:16:23,069 --> 00:16:24,331
and then I bump into you.
409
00:16:24,374 --> 00:16:25,680
That's not the hard part.
410
00:16:25,723 --> 00:16:27,508
Convincing Sam to
give you the tree is.
411
00:16:27,551 --> 00:16:30,380
Well, maybe when I explain
how important the tree is,
412
00:16:30,424 --> 00:16:31,294
the holiday spirit...
413
00:16:31,338 --> 00:16:32,730
Mmm...
414
00:16:32,774 --> 00:16:35,168
Sam isn't exactly
the holiday spirit type.
415
00:16:35,211 --> 00:16:36,430
If he had it
his way,
416
00:16:36,473 --> 00:16:37,344
he'd go straight
from Thanksgiving
417
00:16:37,387 --> 00:16:38,562
to Groundhog Day.
418
00:16:38,606 --> 00:16:39,433
Oh.
419
00:16:39,476 --> 00:16:40,390
Mm-hm.
420
00:16:44,655 --> 00:16:46,005
[Holly]:
What's he doing here?
421
00:16:46,048 --> 00:16:47,571
You know him?
422
00:16:47,615 --> 00:16:49,921
I...
423
00:16:51,749 --> 00:16:53,447
I bumped into him in town.
424
00:16:53,490 --> 00:16:56,493
That's my brother Sam.
That's Joey's dad.
425
00:16:56,537 --> 00:16:57,886
Great.
426
00:16:57,929 --> 00:16:59,409
[Aimee]: Come on.
427
00:17:03,935 --> 00:17:06,460
The Christmas tree farmer
who lives in Chicago.
428
00:17:06,503 --> 00:17:09,506
What's, uh,
what's going on?
429
00:17:09,550 --> 00:17:11,073
You bringing holiday cheer
door to door now?
430
00:17:11,117 --> 00:17:12,292
Something like that.
431
00:17:12,335 --> 00:17:13,728
[chuckling]
Okay.
432
00:17:13,771 --> 00:17:14,816
[Aimee]:
Holly, Sam.
433
00:17:14,859 --> 00:17:16,383
-Sam, Holly.
-Hi.
434
00:17:16,426 --> 00:17:17,862
Hello again.
435
00:17:17,906 --> 00:17:19,951
Um...
436
00:17:19,995 --> 00:17:22,084
I'm here because I work
for the Radcliffe Center.
437
00:17:22,128 --> 00:17:23,477
It's my job
to find the tree
438
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:24,782
that goes in the Center,
439
00:17:24,826 --> 00:17:27,350
and this year,
we want your tree
440
00:17:27,394 --> 00:17:28,308
to be the tree.
441
00:17:28,351 --> 00:17:29,570
You lost me.
442
00:17:43,975 --> 00:17:45,455
I didn't know
that he did this, uh...
443
00:17:47,153 --> 00:17:48,719
[laughs awkwardly]
444
00:17:48,763 --> 00:17:50,547
Um...
445
00:17:50,591 --> 00:17:52,071
I'm sorry.
You can't have this tree.
446
00:17:54,421 --> 00:17:57,380
Uh... this has never happened to
me before.
447
00:17:57,424 --> 00:17:58,686
Um...
okay, well,
448
00:17:58,729 --> 00:18:00,470
maybe you could just
think about it.
449
00:18:00,514 --> 00:18:02,777
I mean, I know you personally
aren't a fan of Christmas,
450
00:18:02,820 --> 00:18:05,214
but so many people are,
and to them,
451
00:18:05,258 --> 00:18:07,651
this tree is a beautiful symbol
of the season.
452
00:18:07,695 --> 00:18:09,088
It's just not
for sale.
453
00:18:09,131 --> 00:18:10,785
Oh, I'm not asking to buy it.
454
00:18:10,828 --> 00:18:12,178
It's donation based,
455
00:18:12,221 --> 00:18:13,396
and most people
are happy to do it.
456
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:14,615
Listen, Holly...
457
00:18:14,658 --> 00:18:16,051
Look, I feel really bad
458
00:18:16,095 --> 00:18:17,226
that you came all this way
from Chicago,
459
00:18:17,270 --> 00:18:19,010
but...
460
00:18:19,054 --> 00:18:20,229
I wish there was something
I could do to help.
461
00:18:20,273 --> 00:18:22,013
I'm so sorry.
462
00:18:23,928 --> 00:18:25,756
It's okay.
463
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,236
I understand.
464
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,673
[phone rings
with "Jingle Bells" ringtone]
465
00:18:29,717 --> 00:18:31,022
Hang on.
Excuse me.
466
00:18:32,589 --> 00:18:33,590
Hello?
467
00:18:33,634 --> 00:18:35,157
So, did you find Joey?
468
00:18:35,201 --> 00:18:36,550
[Holly]:
Yeah, I found him.
469
00:18:36,593 --> 00:18:37,464
So you have the tree?
470
00:18:37,507 --> 00:18:39,205
No.
471
00:18:39,248 --> 00:18:40,293
The owner
doesn't want to donate it.
472
00:18:40,336 --> 00:18:41,337
What?
473
00:18:41,381 --> 00:18:42,512
Did you tell him
474
00:18:42,556 --> 00:18:43,687
that all of Chicago
475
00:18:43,731 --> 00:18:44,906
is expecting
476
00:18:44,949 --> 00:18:45,776
a Christmas tree lighting
ceremony?
477
00:18:45,820 --> 00:18:46,821
Get this...
478
00:18:46,864 --> 00:18:48,257
he doesn't care
479
00:18:48,301 --> 00:18:49,519
about
the tree lighting ceremony.
480
00:18:49,563 --> 00:18:50,564
Excuse me?
481
00:18:50,607 --> 00:18:52,000
Right?
482
00:18:52,043 --> 00:18:53,741
He doesn't even care
about Christmas.
483
00:18:53,784 --> 00:18:55,308
Who is this Grinch?
484
00:18:55,351 --> 00:18:58,180
His name's Sam,
and he's...
485
00:19:02,010 --> 00:19:03,011
[sighs]
486
00:19:03,054 --> 00:19:04,273
a total Grinch.
487
00:19:04,317 --> 00:19:05,883
Well, listen,
488
00:19:05,927 --> 00:19:07,537
the Holly I know
does not take no for an answer.
489
00:19:07,581 --> 00:19:08,495
You can do this.
490
00:19:08,538 --> 00:19:10,279
You really think so?
491
00:19:10,323 --> 00:19:12,020
Well, you have to.
Andrea is not happy,
492
00:19:12,063 --> 00:19:13,064
and the ceremony
is in nine days,
493
00:19:13,108 --> 00:19:14,327
and we do not have
a backup.
494
00:19:14,370 --> 00:19:16,677
Why does everybody
keep telling me that?
495
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,635
Okay...
496
00:19:18,679 --> 00:19:20,333
[whispering]
What am I going to do? Focus.
497
00:19:22,726 --> 00:19:26,121
Okay, Christmas is about
opening our hearts, right?
498
00:19:26,165 --> 00:19:30,299
So I just have to...
open his heart to the idea.
499
00:19:30,343 --> 00:19:32,432
There you go!
That's the Holly I know!
500
00:19:32,475 --> 00:19:33,476
Yeah.
501
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,348
Okay.
502
00:19:35,391 --> 00:19:36,914
I'll call you
when I have the tree.
503
00:19:53,148 --> 00:19:54,193
Sam.
504
00:19:54,236 --> 00:19:55,933
Yeah?
505
00:19:55,977 --> 00:19:57,979
I apologize.
I got ahead of myself,
506
00:19:58,022 --> 00:20:00,242
and I'm not even sure
that this is the tree,
507
00:20:00,286 --> 00:20:02,157
but I came
all this way,
508
00:20:02,201 --> 00:20:03,898
and I'd just like to see it.
509
00:20:03,941 --> 00:20:05,726
There's no harm in
showing it to her.
510
00:20:05,769 --> 00:20:06,857
Uh-- Uh--
511
00:20:08,685 --> 00:20:09,643
You're going
to muck up your boots.
512
00:20:09,686 --> 00:20:10,557
I mean, it's way back there.
513
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,298
Oh.
514
00:20:12,341 --> 00:20:14,300
First rule
of growing up on a farm...
515
00:20:14,343 --> 00:20:15,388
always have sensible shoes.
516
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,397
Wow!
517
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,138
Oh, wow!
It's beautiful!
518
00:20:29,619 --> 00:20:31,273
Oh, it's gorgeous!
519
00:20:32,970 --> 00:20:34,494
It's the perfect height.
520
00:20:34,537 --> 00:20:36,887
The perfect height
for what?
521
00:20:36,931 --> 00:20:39,238
It's tall enough to stand
against the skyscrapers,
522
00:20:39,281 --> 00:20:41,327
but short enough to be trucked
through the city.
523
00:20:41,370 --> 00:20:42,371
Wow.
524
00:20:45,374 --> 00:20:48,682
It's absolutely perfect.
525
00:20:48,725 --> 00:20:49,683
I know.
526
00:20:49,726 --> 00:20:51,293
You know,
527
00:20:51,337 --> 00:20:52,381
I've been around trees
my whole life,
528
00:20:52,425 --> 00:20:55,645
and I haven't seen many
like this.
529
00:20:55,689 --> 00:20:57,908
It's... truly special.
530
00:20:59,475 --> 00:21:00,694
It's right.
531
00:21:00,737 --> 00:21:02,173
Yup.
Right here.
532
00:21:04,175 --> 00:21:05,394
Sam, if you were to say yes,
533
00:21:05,438 --> 00:21:07,309
your whole family
would get to go to Chicago
534
00:21:07,353 --> 00:21:09,180
on an all-expenses paid trip,
535
00:21:09,224 --> 00:21:11,226
and you guys
would be front and center
536
00:21:11,270 --> 00:21:12,923
as V.I.P.s
at the tree lighting ceremony.
537
00:21:12,967 --> 00:21:14,229
[laughs]
538
00:21:14,273 --> 00:21:16,492
I don't care
about being a V.I.P...
539
00:21:18,277 --> 00:21:20,975
but here's something
I do care about.
540
00:21:25,414 --> 00:21:28,852
39 years ago,
541
00:21:28,896 --> 00:21:32,465
my mom Leslie
and my dad George
542
00:21:32,508 --> 00:21:34,858
bought this land
and carved that there.
543
00:21:36,860 --> 00:21:38,993
All they had was a
mortgage and a dream,
544
00:21:39,036 --> 00:21:42,344
but this tree represented
545
00:21:42,388 --> 00:21:44,346
everything
that they would watch grow.
546
00:21:44,390 --> 00:21:45,869
That's beautiful.
547
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,352
Don't you want to share
that story with the world?
548
00:21:50,396 --> 00:21:54,182
Put their love on display
for everyone to admire?
549
00:21:54,225 --> 00:21:55,575
No.
550
00:21:55,618 --> 00:21:56,489
I want to keep it
with my family,
551
00:21:56,532 --> 00:21:57,533
where it belongs.
552
00:21:57,577 --> 00:21:58,621
And what about Joey?
553
00:21:58,665 --> 00:22:00,101
It would mean so much to him.
554
00:22:00,144 --> 00:22:02,364
Well, it would now,
because he's eight,
555
00:22:02,408 --> 00:22:04,888
but trust me, 20 years from now,
when this tree's still standing,
556
00:22:04,932 --> 00:22:06,281
it'll mean a lot more to him
557
00:22:06,325 --> 00:22:08,805
than him seeing it
with some skyscrapers.
558
00:22:09,937 --> 00:22:11,373
Hm.
559
00:22:11,417 --> 00:22:12,418
Listen, Holly,
I admire your tenacity,
560
00:22:12,461 --> 00:22:13,549
but...
561
00:22:13,593 --> 00:22:15,856
I mean,
the answer is just no.
562
00:22:24,908 --> 00:22:26,388
Oh, there's...
there's Aimee there.
563
00:22:26,432 --> 00:22:27,389
Okay.
564
00:22:27,433 --> 00:22:29,260
I have to...
565
00:22:29,304 --> 00:22:30,349
Sorry again.
566
00:22:34,962 --> 00:22:37,094
I really didn't want you
to be disappointed.
567
00:22:37,138 --> 00:22:38,400
No, I understand.
568
00:22:38,444 --> 00:22:40,837
It's your parents' tree.
569
00:22:40,881 --> 00:22:42,796
I just think that donating it
570
00:22:42,839 --> 00:22:45,407
could be special
for your family.
571
00:22:45,451 --> 00:22:47,888
I mean,
there's something so moving
572
00:22:47,931 --> 00:22:49,759
about bringing joy
to so many people.
573
00:22:53,110 --> 00:22:54,024
What's wrong?
574
00:22:55,461 --> 00:22:57,680
I thought Sam had told you.
575
00:22:57,724 --> 00:22:59,378
Told me what?
576
00:23:00,857 --> 00:23:03,033
Our mom passed away
last year.
577
00:23:03,077 --> 00:23:04,252
Oh...
578
00:23:06,123 --> 00:23:08,256
I'm really sorry to hear that.
579
00:23:08,299 --> 00:23:10,737
That's why Sam doesn't want
to give away this tree.
580
00:23:21,443 --> 00:23:22,662
Okay.
I got it.
581
00:23:22,705 --> 00:23:24,881
I, uh, I'm going
to be on my way.
582
00:23:27,797 --> 00:23:30,234
Hey, Dad,
dinner's almost ready!
583
00:23:30,278 --> 00:23:32,411
All right, Joey,
I'll be right in.
584
00:23:37,764 --> 00:23:39,287
Miss Christmas!
585
00:23:42,072 --> 00:23:43,683
I saw you on TV,
586
00:23:43,726 --> 00:23:44,553
and I wrote to you,
and you came!
587
00:23:44,597 --> 00:23:46,599
You came for our tree!
588
00:23:46,642 --> 00:23:47,817
I have to tell Grandpa!
589
00:23:47,861 --> 00:23:50,429
He didn't think she'd come!
590
00:23:50,472 --> 00:23:52,474
Wait,
Grandpa knew about the letter?
591
00:23:57,610 --> 00:23:58,567
Come meet Grandpa!
592
00:23:58,611 --> 00:23:59,655
Okay.
593
00:24:00,656 --> 00:24:01,701
[Aimee]: Hey, Dad.
594
00:24:01,744 --> 00:24:03,746
[Joey]: Hi, Grandpa!
595
00:24:03,790 --> 00:24:06,836
[Aimee]: Whoa,
cooking up a storm in here.
596
00:24:09,230 --> 00:24:12,015
[Joey]: Smells good.
597
00:24:15,976 --> 00:24:17,368
Come on.
598
00:24:17,412 --> 00:24:19,414
[Aimee]: Let's eat!
599
00:24:19,458 --> 00:24:22,504
Grandpa, look who it is!
Miss Christmas came!
600
00:24:22,548 --> 00:24:23,462
[Holly]: Hi.
Nice to meet you.
601
00:24:23,505 --> 00:24:24,637
[George]:
Welcome!
602
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:25,638
It's an enigma!
603
00:24:25,681 --> 00:24:27,074
[all chuckling]
604
00:24:27,117 --> 00:24:28,728
Grandpa just taught me
the word enigma.
605
00:24:28,771 --> 00:24:29,816
[George]:
Well, I'm not sure
606
00:24:29,859 --> 00:24:31,208
it's an enigma exactly,
607
00:24:31,252 --> 00:24:33,950
but it sure is exciting!
608
00:24:33,994 --> 00:24:35,212
And you're right on time
for dinner.
609
00:24:35,256 --> 00:24:37,214
Can you stay?
610
00:24:37,258 --> 00:24:38,433
[Aimee]:
What do you think?
611
00:24:38,477 --> 00:24:40,174
I should get going.
612
00:24:40,217 --> 00:24:43,307
No, it's dinner time,
and you've come all this way.
613
00:24:43,351 --> 00:24:44,744
Let us feed you.
614
00:24:44,787 --> 00:24:46,310
I made
grilled cheese sandwiches.
615
00:24:46,354 --> 00:24:47,834
Kind of.
616
00:24:47,877 --> 00:24:49,096
Thanks, pal.
617
00:24:49,139 --> 00:24:51,577
[Joey]: We made
pumpkin pie as well.
618
00:24:51,620 --> 00:24:52,795
Please stay.
619
00:24:53,927 --> 00:24:54,841
Yeah, stay.
620
00:24:58,497 --> 00:24:59,498
Okay.
621
00:24:59,541 --> 00:25:00,890
-All right!
-[Joey]: Yes!
622
00:25:00,934 --> 00:25:03,327
[George laughs]
Okay!
623
00:25:06,243 --> 00:25:07,897
Looks so good...
624
00:25:09,638 --> 00:25:10,683
Try the milk!
625
00:25:10,726 --> 00:25:12,293
It's from our cows!
626
00:25:12,336 --> 00:25:13,599
It's udderly delicious.
627
00:25:13,642 --> 00:25:15,122
[they laugh, groan]
628
00:25:15,165 --> 00:25:17,733
Oh, come on,
stop being so moo-dy.
629
00:25:17,777 --> 00:25:18,952
Seriously?
630
00:25:18,995 --> 00:25:20,388
Well, I find it a-moo-sing.
631
00:25:20,431 --> 00:25:22,085
[they laugh]
632
00:25:23,609 --> 00:25:24,914
So, Miss Christmas...
633
00:25:24,958 --> 00:25:26,437
Oh, it's actually Holly.
634
00:25:26,481 --> 00:25:28,831
[Joey]: Wait, Miss Christmas
isn't your real name?
635
00:25:28,875 --> 00:25:30,354
Why do they
call you that?
636
00:25:30,398 --> 00:25:32,313
Well, it's a nickname
my dad gave me.
637
00:25:32,356 --> 00:25:33,880
I grew up
on a Christmas tree farm,
638
00:25:33,923 --> 00:25:36,099
and I was always
Christmas crazy,
639
00:25:36,143 --> 00:25:38,449
and I said "Miss Christmas" once
on air,
640
00:25:38,493 --> 00:25:41,409
and it just stuck,
641
00:25:41,452 --> 00:25:42,715
but my real name's Holly.
642
00:25:42,758 --> 00:25:45,282
So, Holly,
643
00:25:45,326 --> 00:25:47,023
you've come
for Leslie's tree.
644
00:25:47,067 --> 00:25:48,459
Oh, no, yeah...
645
00:25:48,503 --> 00:25:49,591
I already told her no.
646
00:25:49,635 --> 00:25:50,592
What?
Dad!
647
00:25:50,636 --> 00:25:52,333
You can't say no!
648
00:25:52,376 --> 00:25:54,248
Grandma loved
the tree lighting!
649
00:25:54,291 --> 00:25:55,597
Yeah, it's true.
She did.
650
00:25:55,641 --> 00:25:57,294
Before the kids,
651
00:25:57,338 --> 00:25:58,687
Leslie and I used to go
to Chicago every year
652
00:25:58,731 --> 00:26:00,559
to see the tree.
653
00:26:00,602 --> 00:26:02,604
Yeah, and Grandma and me
watched it every year on TV.
654
00:26:02,648 --> 00:26:04,258
[Sam]: No, listen, Joey...
655
00:26:04,301 --> 00:26:06,086
I never heard Grandma say
656
00:26:06,129 --> 00:26:08,392
that she wanted to give away
her tree,
657
00:26:08,436 --> 00:26:10,612
and if she wanted
to donate it,
658
00:26:10,656 --> 00:26:12,527
well, then,
why didn't she?
659
00:26:12,571 --> 00:26:15,225
I know you really
want to see the tree on TV,
660
00:26:15,269 --> 00:26:17,967
but...
what about after Christmas?
661
00:26:18,011 --> 00:26:18,925
What then?
662
00:26:18,968 --> 00:26:20,448
Um...
663
00:26:20,491 --> 00:26:22,668
it'll actually be milled
into two-by-fours
664
00:26:22,711 --> 00:26:24,800
to provide lumber
to build houses
665
00:26:24,844 --> 00:26:26,759
for veterans
returning from overseas.
666
00:26:26,802 --> 00:26:28,587
So even after
the holidays,
667
00:26:28,630 --> 00:26:31,459
Leslie's tree will continue
to bring joy to people.
668
00:26:31,502 --> 00:26:32,503
[Sam]:
I meant...
669
00:26:32,547 --> 00:26:33,853
"then what" for us?
670
00:26:33,896 --> 00:26:35,376
Oh.
671
00:26:35,419 --> 00:26:36,420
[Sam]: Because then
we no longer have a tree.
672
00:26:36,464 --> 00:26:37,421
Right.
673
00:26:37,465 --> 00:26:39,554
Sam...
674
00:26:39,598 --> 00:26:40,642
I know you don't want
to give the tree away...
675
00:26:40,686 --> 00:26:42,165
Of course not.
676
00:26:42,209 --> 00:26:43,602
But it's not just yours
to give.
677
00:26:46,735 --> 00:26:48,694
Uh...
678
00:26:48,737 --> 00:26:50,173
I don't want
to cause any problems, so...
679
00:26:50,217 --> 00:26:51,261
It's no problems.
680
00:26:51,305 --> 00:26:53,046
The tree belongs to the family.
681
00:26:53,089 --> 00:26:54,177
It's a family decision.
682
00:26:56,223 --> 00:26:57,659
So, I tell you
what, Holly...
683
00:26:57,703 --> 00:26:59,139
why don't you
make your case,
684
00:26:59,182 --> 00:27:00,923
and then we'll discuss?
685
00:27:00,967 --> 00:27:03,534
Okay.
686
00:27:05,319 --> 00:27:07,451
Right now?
687
00:27:07,495 --> 00:27:08,583
No, we never discuss business
at the table.
688
00:27:08,627 --> 00:27:09,889
Great.
689
00:27:09,932 --> 00:27:11,194
We'll meet tomorrow,
after milking.
690
00:27:11,238 --> 00:27:12,456
Yes!
691
00:27:12,500 --> 00:27:14,502
Okay.
692
00:27:14,545 --> 00:27:16,939
I've got to head out
to the barn for a minute.
693
00:27:16,983 --> 00:27:18,027
Excuse me.
694
00:27:28,081 --> 00:27:30,605
[Holly]: I don't know, George.
Maybe Sam's right.
695
00:27:30,649 --> 00:27:32,738
Maybe the tree should stay.
696
00:27:32,781 --> 00:27:34,653
Maybe...
697
00:27:34,696 --> 00:27:36,393
but I also have some
mighty fond memories
698
00:27:36,437 --> 00:27:39,658
of Leslie at
the Radcliffe tree.
699
00:27:39,701 --> 00:27:42,051
The sound of her
off-key caroling,
700
00:27:42,095 --> 00:27:44,227
and the way her face
would brighten,
701
00:27:44,271 --> 00:27:46,490
seeing it light up...
702
00:27:46,534 --> 00:27:48,101
I think she would have
wanted to donate it.
703
00:27:48,144 --> 00:27:49,537
But Sam doesn't agree,
704
00:27:49,580 --> 00:27:51,887
and I just don't want
to upset anybody.
705
00:27:51,931 --> 00:27:53,193
Don't you worry
about my Sam.
706
00:27:53,236 --> 00:27:55,108
He's an enigma.
707
00:27:55,151 --> 00:27:57,066
He is definitely an enigma.
708
00:27:57,110 --> 00:27:58,154
[chuckles]
709
00:28:32,362 --> 00:28:33,929
[phone rings
with "Jingle Bells" ringtone]
710
00:28:36,453 --> 00:28:37,803
Hello?
711
00:28:37,846 --> 00:28:39,543
Holly,
that tree is perfect!
712
00:28:39,587 --> 00:28:40,588
[Holly]: Yeah...
713
00:28:40,631 --> 00:28:41,850
except that I don't have it,
714
00:28:41,894 --> 00:28:42,982
and the McNarys
might not give it to me.
715
00:28:43,025 --> 00:28:44,853
This tree is flawless,
716
00:28:44,897 --> 00:28:45,898
and if anyone
can convince them
717
00:28:45,941 --> 00:28:47,290
to donate it, it's you.
718
00:28:47,334 --> 00:28:49,684
Mm, maybe,
719
00:28:49,728 --> 00:28:52,556
but just in case,
we need to find a backup.
720
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,254
Oh, Andrea,
I've got to go.
721
00:28:54,297 --> 00:28:56,038
Oh, okay, Holly, I...

Listen, I... think
I've had enough holiday cheer

Yeah, I know,

to apologize
735
00:29:33,946 --> 00:29:35,686
for overstepping
any boundaries.

that I understand
that your mom's tree

isn't just a tree, okay,

It happened
when I was just a baby,
746
00:29:57,404 --> 00:29:59,058
and my dad raised me
747
00:29:59,101 --> 00:30:00,886
until he got sick
when I was in college.
748
00:30:00,929 --> 00:30:03,366
He was my very best friend,
749
00:30:03,410 --> 00:30:04,803
and if you can believe it,
750
00:30:04,846 --> 00:30:05,934
he actually loved Christmas
as much as I do.

00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:08,850
Yeah, right?
753
00:30:08,894 --> 00:30:09,851
He was...

00:30:11,635 --> 00:30:12,636
Mr. Christmas?
755
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,029
Yeah.
756
00:30:14,073 --> 00:30:16,858
Actually,
that's exactly what he was.
757
00:30:16,902 --> 00:30:21,167
You know, and every year,
with the Radcliffe tree,
758
00:30:21,210 --> 00:30:23,430
I get to celebrate my dad
759
00:30:23,473 --> 00:30:27,564
and his love for Christmas
and beauty and magic.
760
00:30:29,349 --> 00:30:32,178
I get to feel like
he's here with me again.

Look, if I'm being
honest with you,
762
00:30:39,533 --> 00:30:41,274
I just don't think
there's anything you can say
763
00:30:41,317 --> 00:30:42,449
that's going to make me
change my mind.
764
00:30:42,492 --> 00:30:44,799
Yeah, doesn't mean
I'll stop talking.

he is perfect!

Ah, you know,
he's not really a Grinch.

00:31:23,142 --> 00:31:24,360
He just hates Christmas.
782
00:31:24,404 --> 00:31:26,101
Maybe more of a Scrooge.
783
00:31:26,145 --> 00:31:28,277
No, he's not really a Scrooge,
either.
784
00:31:28,321 --> 00:31:29,888
He's just...
785

No!
That's crazy.

Relax.
Don't worry about it.

You're going to get the tree.
799
00:31:53,650 --> 00:31:54,390

to relax right now.

Okay, thank you all
for coming to my presentation.

And thank you
for the cookies!

[chuckles]
807
00:32:08,970 --> 00:32:09,928
So I know
you watch the Radcliffe ceremony
808
00:32:09,971 --> 00:32:11,277
on TV every year,
809
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,322
but many people
don't know its history,
810
00:32:13,366 --> 00:32:16,021
so I wanted
to share it with you.
811
00:32:16,064 --> 00:32:17,413
And you did all this
for us?
812
00:32:17,457 --> 00:32:18,980
Mm...
813
00:32:19,024 --> 00:32:21,200
I might have had some of it
prepared already.
814
00:32:21,243 --> 00:32:22,157
Okay...
815
00:32:25,291 --> 00:32:27,162
[Holly, recorded audio]:
In 1930,
816
00:32:27,206 --> 00:32:28,903
during the Great Depression,
817
00:32:28,947 --> 00:32:30,470
the first
Radcliffe Christmas tree
818
00:32:30,513 --> 00:32:31,993
was placed in the plaza
819
00:32:32,037 --> 00:32:34,387
for everyone
who couldn't afford a tree.
820
00:32:34,430 --> 00:32:35,997
Decorated
with gum wrapper garlands
821
00:32:36,041 --> 00:32:37,433
and tin cans,
822
00:32:37,477 --> 00:32:40,480
it became a centerpiece
of the community.
823
00:32:40,523 --> 00:32:44,875
Neighbors gathered around it,
caroled, and shared food.
824
00:32:44,919 --> 00:32:47,487
Since then, every year,
825
00:32:47,530 --> 00:32:49,315
the Radcliffe Center
has had a tree,
826
00:32:49,358 --> 00:32:50,925
and although the trees
827
00:32:50,969 --> 00:32:52,796
get more elaborate
and spectacular
828
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,363
every year,
829
00:32:54,407 --> 00:32:57,497
we never forget
what it started as...
830
00:32:57,540 --> 00:32:59,107
a symbol of community...
831
00:32:59,151 --> 00:33:03,329
a place for people
to come together...
832
00:33:03,372 --> 00:33:06,245
a gathering spot for families,
friends, and neighbors
833
00:33:06,288 --> 00:33:08,682
to be cheered, supported,
834
00:33:08,725 --> 00:33:10,031
and marvel
835
00:33:10,075 --> 00:33:10,901
not just
in the beauty of the season,
836
00:33:10,945 --> 00:33:12,686
but in each other...
837
00:33:15,689 --> 00:33:19,867
which is what Leslie's tree
could be to so many people.
838
00:33:30,051 --> 00:33:31,922
I vote yes!
839
00:33:35,404 --> 00:33:37,667
Holly,
this is wonderful...
840
00:33:37,711 --> 00:33:38,842
but I think we need
some more time
841
00:33:38,886 --> 00:33:39,887
to mull it over.
842
00:33:39,930 --> 00:33:42,846
Could we have
more time?
843
00:33:42,890 --> 00:33:44,587
I wish I could give you
all the time in the world.
844
00:33:44,631 --> 00:33:47,503
I know this is a huge decision
for all of you,
845
00:33:47,547 --> 00:33:50,724
but the tree lighting
is literally around the corner,
846
00:33:50,767 --> 00:33:52,073
and it takes time
847
00:33:52,117 --> 00:33:53,857
to transport and decorate,
848
00:33:53,901 --> 00:33:56,773
and in the end, if you say no...
849
00:33:56,817 --> 00:33:58,123
Could you
at least give us
850
00:33:58,166 --> 00:33:59,994
till tomorrow?
851
00:34:00,038 --> 00:34:01,952
And that way,
that'll give us some time
852
00:34:01,996 --> 00:34:03,606
to ask any questions
we might have.
853
00:34:03,650 --> 00:34:05,652
What do you think?
854
00:34:05,695 --> 00:34:07,610
Could you stay
a little longer?

That's where Santa will be...
868
00:34:42,863 --> 00:34:44,299
and that's where
the food is.
869

Everyone brings something.

There's Owen.

00:34:57,573 --> 00:34:58,487
Okay.
878
00:35:08,193 --> 00:35:10,238
I like Klaus.

this seriously.
881
00:35:14,329 --> 00:35:15,330
It's good for us.
882
00:35:15,374 --> 00:35:16,244
It's good for
the businesses,
883
00:35:16,288 --> 00:35:17,854
good for town morale.
884
00:35:17,898 --> 00:35:19,552
Good for everyone
but you.
885
00:35:19,595 --> 00:35:21,597
Why do you dislike Christmas
so much?

00:35:27,168 --> 00:35:28,517

892
00:35:28,561 --> 00:35:29,779
Did they say yes?
Do you have the tree?
893
00:35:29,823 --> 00:35:31,651
Uh, no, not yet.
894
00:35:31,694 --> 00:35:33,305
They responded really well,
895
00:35:33,348 --> 00:35:35,611
but they just need another day
to decide.
896
00:35:35,655 --> 00:35:37,091
Another day?
897
00:35:37,135 --> 00:35:39,180
Holly,
the ceremony is in eight days,
898
00:35:39,224 --> 00:35:41,095
We need at least four days
to decorate,
899
00:35:41,139 --> 00:35:42,966
and that leaves us
exactly three days
900
00:35:43,010 --> 00:35:45,578
to have a tree located,
cut, and transported here.
901
00:35:45,621 --> 00:35:46,492
What am I supposed
to tell corporate?

903

Yes.
904
00:35:49,321 --> 00:35:50,800
Corporate has gotten involved,
and they are not happy...
905
00:35:50,844 --> 00:35:53,847
and I'm sorry, Holly, but...
906
00:35:53,890 --> 00:35:56,893
they said if you don't have
a "Radcliffe-worthy tree"
907
00:35:56,937 --> 00:35:58,634
here in Chicago
in three days,
908
00:35:58,678 --> 00:35:59,940
then...
909
00:35:59,983 --> 00:36:02,029
don't bother
coming back at all.
910
00:36:24,138 --> 00:36:26,619
Hey.
911
00:36:26,662 --> 00:36:28,403
Good morning.
912
00:36:28,447 --> 00:36:29,578
What are you doing up
this early?
913
00:36:29,622 --> 00:36:30,927
Oh, I'm always
up early.
914
00:36:30,971 --> 00:36:33,234
Just the farmer
in me.
915
00:36:33,278 --> 00:36:34,670
What are you
doing here?
916
00:36:34,714 --> 00:36:37,673
We do
McNary family breakfast
917
00:36:37,717 --> 00:36:39,632
on Sundays, so...
918
00:36:39,675 --> 00:36:41,242
I'm always early,
I'm always waiting,
919
00:36:41,286 --> 00:36:44,071
so I grab coffee
and head outside.
920
00:36:44,114 --> 00:36:45,899
Care to join?
921
00:36:45,942 --> 00:36:47,292
You had me
at coffee.
922
00:36:47,335 --> 00:36:48,597
[chuckles]
923
00:36:56,692 --> 00:36:58,607
Usually from
the minute I wake up,
924
00:36:58,651 --> 00:36:59,956
it's just go, go, go.
925
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,262
It's so nice
926
00:37:01,306 --> 00:37:03,743
to have some time
to just breathe.
927
00:37:03,786 --> 00:37:07,050
It's so beautiful
here, so peaceful.
928
00:37:07,094 --> 00:37:08,182
It reminds me of home.
929
00:37:08,226 --> 00:37:09,662
Of Chicago?
930
00:37:09,705 --> 00:37:11,359
Oh, no, no, no,
Chicago's where I live,
931
00:37:11,403 --> 00:37:14,710
but my family's farm...
that was home.
932
00:37:14,754 --> 00:37:16,277
I guess I always figured
I'd end up back there.
933
00:37:16,321 --> 00:37:18,714
So why didn't you?
934
00:37:18,758 --> 00:37:20,194
Well, the plan
935
00:37:20,238 --> 00:37:21,630
was that I'd get a
degree in horticulture
936
00:37:21,674 --> 00:37:24,329
and then return home.
937
00:37:24,372 --> 00:37:28,594
My parents had this dream
of expanding the farm,
938
00:37:28,637 --> 00:37:29,682
and as I got older,
939
00:37:29,725 --> 00:37:30,900
it became a dream
of my own,
940
00:37:30,944 --> 00:37:33,773
something I wanted
to do for myself,
941
00:37:33,816 --> 00:37:35,122
and for my mom,
942
00:37:35,165 --> 00:37:37,211
for her legacy,
943
00:37:37,255 --> 00:37:40,301
especially at
Christmas time...
944
00:37:40,345 --> 00:37:42,782
but when my dad
passed away,
945
00:37:42,825 --> 00:37:46,307
I had to decide between
school and the farm.
946
00:37:46,351 --> 00:37:47,961
I was 19
at the time,
947
00:37:48,004 --> 00:37:50,006
and the thought of
running a business alone
948
00:37:50,050 --> 00:37:51,878
just was
terrifying, right?
949
00:37:51,921 --> 00:37:54,010
So I sold the land,
950
00:37:54,054 --> 00:37:56,665
and I got a job
at Radcliffe,
951
00:37:56,709 --> 00:37:57,579
and I moved
to Chicago...
952
00:37:57,623 --> 00:37:59,146
And became a city girl.
953
00:37:59,189 --> 00:38:00,103
[giggles]
954
00:38:00,147 --> 00:38:01,496
Yeah, I guess
955
00:38:01,540 --> 00:38:02,976
I am just a little
bit of a city girl.
956
00:38:03,019 --> 00:38:03,890
I do get nervous if I'm
more than a block away
957
00:38:03,933 --> 00:38:06,109
from a cup of coffee.
958
00:38:06,153 --> 00:38:09,025
I guess I've grown
accustomed to city life.
959
00:38:09,069 --> 00:38:10,418
Sounds to me
960
00:38:10,462 --> 00:38:12,333
like you just want to find
a place called home.
961
00:38:16,250 --> 00:38:19,297
You got anything tying you
to Chicago? Boyfriend?
962
00:38:20,646 --> 00:38:23,083
Uh... no.
963
00:38:23,126 --> 00:38:25,694
No, unfortunately,
when you work as much as I do,
964
00:38:25,738 --> 00:38:26,652
it's kind of hard to date.
965
00:38:29,176 --> 00:38:30,873
What about you?
966
00:38:30,917 --> 00:38:33,572
[snickers]
No, no, no, no.
967
00:38:33,615 --> 00:38:36,488

00:38:38,359 --> 00:38:39,882
This time for Joey and I
just to be by ourselves,
970
00:38:39,926 --> 00:38:40,796
it's been great.
971
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,146
Yeah.
972
00:38:43,190 --> 00:38:44,496
But I think
we're both ready.
973
00:38:47,586 --> 00:38:49,065

974
00:38:50,937 --> 00:38:52,982

really special.

outside of Elkhart Lake

[Erin]: I thought
1018
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:17,545
that that tree
was 10 feet too short.

Well, I was...
1046
00:41:12,426 --> 00:41:15,690
just thinking about how happy
the Radcliffe tree made Leslie,
1047
00:41:15,734 --> 00:41:19,477
and how she made
everyone around her happy,
1048
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:21,914
especially at Christmas,
1049
00:41:21,957 --> 00:41:25,744
and I think
this is one more opportunity
1050
00:41:25,787 --> 00:41:27,441
for Leslie
to bring joy to others,
1051
00:41:27,485 --> 00:41:31,010

I know you have your heart
set on the angel ornament,

for one thing,

1081
00:42:38,643 --> 00:42:41,167
That was the first ornament
I ever made.
1082
00:42:41,210 --> 00:42:42,255

You know what?
1084

And I bet
this was her real favorite,
1085
00:42:44,736 --> 00:42:45,693
and I think
it's going to look perfect
1086
00:42:45,737 --> 00:42:46,955

00:42:56,225 --> 00:42:57,618
Sam can help.
1090
00:42:59,402 --> 00:43:00,403
Great.
1091
00:43:02,144 --> 00:43:05,321
[♪♪]
1092
00:43:14,853 --> 00:43:16,768
I can't just sit inside
1093
00:43:16,811 --> 00:43:18,334
while you guys
are out here decorating.
1094
00:43:18,378 --> 00:43:19,292
[muttering]
About time.
1095
00:43:19,335 --> 00:43:21,468
Ha, ha.
1096
00:43:25,385 --> 00:43:26,995
It's beautiful.
1097
00:43:29,041 --> 00:43:30,608
It's just like how
Grandma used to do it.
1098
00:43:35,351 --> 00:43:36,526
Let's put the bow...
1099
00:43:43,838 --> 00:43:45,579
Untangling
all these lights
1100
00:43:45,623 --> 00:43:46,798
brought back traumatic
Christmas memories for me,
1101
00:43:46,841 --> 00:43:48,495
just so you know.
1102
00:43:48,538 --> 00:43:51,019
Can you really say you've never
enjoyed the holidays?
1103
00:43:51,063 --> 00:43:52,455
Not even a little?
1104
00:43:52,499 --> 00:43:54,588
I, uh, I haven't always
been a Grinch.
1105
00:43:54,632 --> 00:43:55,763
Aw, you're
not a Grinch.
1106
00:43:55,807 --> 00:43:57,417
You're much more of a Scrooge.
1107
00:43:57,460 --> 00:43:59,767
[laughs]
Um... thanks?
1108
00:43:59,811 --> 00:44:00,768
I'll get it.
1109
00:44:00,812 --> 00:44:02,030
Okay.
1110
00:44:04,076 --> 00:44:05,599
This Scrooge
1111
00:44:05,643 --> 00:44:06,948
actually tolerated Christmas
at one point.
1112
00:44:06,992 --> 00:44:07,993
"Tolerate?"
1113
00:44:08,036 --> 00:44:08,950
How spirited of you.
1114
00:44:08,994 --> 00:44:10,517
Hey...
1115
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,259
you get divorced
and your mom passes away?
1116
00:44:13,302 --> 00:44:15,348
Just makes everything...
1117
00:44:15,391 --> 00:44:16,305
you know?
1118
00:44:19,831 --> 00:44:20,962
Got it?
1119
00:44:21,006 --> 00:44:22,137
Yeah.
1120
00:44:22,181 --> 00:44:23,008
All right,
I think we're done.
1121
00:44:23,051 --> 00:44:24,705
Let's take a look.
1122
00:44:31,407 --> 00:44:33,671
[Joey]:
It's perfect!
1123
00:44:35,629 --> 00:44:38,458
Ah.
Nice.
1124
00:44:38,501 --> 00:44:39,851
All right, hey,
we've got to head home,
1125
00:44:39,894 --> 00:44:40,982
so why don't you go
hop in the truck, okay?
1126
00:44:41,026 --> 00:44:42,592
Okay.
1127
00:44:46,771 --> 00:44:47,641
I'm going to start...
1128
00:44:47,685 --> 00:44:49,817
[laughs]
1129
00:44:51,863 --> 00:44:53,865
Sam, being here with you
has been...
1130
00:44:53,908 --> 00:44:54,822
amazing...
1131
00:44:56,476 --> 00:44:57,869
but I do need
to figure this out,
1132
00:44:57,912 --> 00:44:58,826
and I'm running out of time.
1133
00:44:58,870 --> 00:45:00,045
Look, I'm sorry.
1134
00:45:00,088 --> 00:45:03,526
I've just been
dragging my feet. I...
1135
00:45:03,570 --> 00:45:06,616
I'm sure you just want
to get back on your way, so...
1136
00:45:06,660 --> 00:45:07,748
I'm just still on the fence.
1137
00:45:11,447 --> 00:45:12,927
Thanks for helping.
1138
00:45:22,284 --> 00:45:23,633
[Aimee and Holly giggle]
1139
00:45:24,896 --> 00:45:26,593
Thank you, Holly.
1140
00:45:26,636 --> 00:45:28,073
Joey is so happy,
1141
00:45:28,116 --> 00:45:31,554
and it's so nice to see
the inn decorated again.
1142
00:45:31,598 --> 00:45:32,642
[grunting]
1143
00:45:34,253 --> 00:45:35,515
Between you and me,
1144
00:45:35,558 --> 00:45:37,212
I think
even Sam enjoyed himself.
1145
00:45:37,256 --> 00:45:38,344
Me too.
1146
00:45:38,387 --> 00:45:39,214
[laughs]
Here, I'll take that.
1147
00:45:39,258 --> 00:45:40,476
Oh...
1148
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:41,303
[gasps]
Ooh, wait!
1149
00:45:41,347 --> 00:45:42,783
Aimee!
1150
00:45:42,827 --> 00:45:45,655
Is this the ornament
Joey was looking for?
1151
00:45:46,918 --> 00:45:48,397
We should tell him
1152
00:45:48,441 --> 00:45:50,443
so he can put it
on the wreath.
1153
00:45:50,486 --> 00:45:52,184
Actually, you know
where I want to put that?
1154
00:45:52,227 --> 00:45:54,273
On my mom's tree...
1155
00:45:54,316 --> 00:45:57,363
at the Radcliffe Plaza.
1156
00:45:57,406 --> 00:45:58,320
Really?
1157
00:45:58,364 --> 00:45:59,757
Mm-hm.
1158
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:01,019
I keep thinking
1159
00:46:01,062 --> 00:46:02,368
of the great memories
from the tree.
1160
00:46:02,411 --> 00:46:05,153
In the winter, we
would collect boughs
1161
00:46:05,197 --> 00:46:06,154
and make wreaths,
1162
00:46:06,198 --> 00:46:07,677
then in the summer,
1163
00:46:07,721 --> 00:46:10,115
we would have picnics
under the tree's shade.
1164
00:46:12,117 --> 00:46:13,640
I'll miss the tree,
1165
00:46:13,683 --> 00:46:16,817
but it'll be so special
to see it in Chicago.
1166
00:46:18,384 --> 00:46:19,515
Now you just have
to convince Sam,
1167
00:46:19,559 --> 00:46:20,908
which, after today,
1168
00:46:20,952 --> 00:46:21,735
I don't think will take
as much convincing
1169
00:46:21,779 --> 00:46:23,302
as I thought.
1170
00:46:23,345 --> 00:46:25,304
It's beginning to look
a little like Christmas.
1171
00:46:33,138 --> 00:46:35,967
[Erin]: So you've got
three out of the four.
1172
00:46:36,010 --> 00:46:37,272
That's a majority vote.
1173
00:46:37,316 --> 00:46:39,927
Well...
I want it to be unanimous.
1174
00:46:39,971 --> 00:46:41,842
I don't want Sam to feel like
I stole something from him.
1175
00:46:41,886 --> 00:46:43,931
Well...
1176
00:46:43,975 --> 00:46:46,238
fingers crossed
that he says yes tomorrow.
1177
00:46:46,281 --> 00:46:48,066
I mean, he could ask
for one more day.
1178
00:46:48,109 --> 00:46:49,894
It sounds like he just wants
to spend more time with you.
1179
00:46:49,937 --> 00:46:51,809
That is not
what he's doing.
1180
00:46:54,594 --> 00:46:56,378
Although...
1181
00:46:56,422 --> 00:46:58,293
staying
doesn't sound so bad.
1182
00:46:58,337 --> 00:47:00,034
Klaus is lovely...
1183
00:47:01,949 --> 00:47:03,603
and, um...
1184
00:47:03,646 --> 00:47:04,778
I'm actually starting
to think
1185
00:47:04,822 --> 00:47:07,868
that maybe the tree should stay.
1186
00:47:07,912 --> 00:47:09,696
Maybe it belongs here.
1187
00:47:09,739 --> 00:47:10,653
Holly...
1188
00:47:10,697 --> 00:47:11,611
What?

Turn on the news.
1191
00:47:14,135 --> 00:47:16,442
And with a week
until the tree lighting,
1192
00:47:16,485 --> 00:47:19,488
the Radcliffe Center tree
is still not here.
1193
00:47:19,532 --> 00:47:21,839
The "City in a Garden"
might be tree-less.
1194
00:47:21,882 --> 00:47:23,971
Looks like the heart of America
1195
00:47:24,015 --> 00:47:25,755
might have lost
its Christmas Spirit.
1196

Hey.
1200
00:47:43,164 --> 00:47:44,209
Hey.
1201
00:47:44,252 --> 00:47:45,253
Thanks for coming.
1202
00:47:45,297 --> 00:47:46,994
What's going on?
1203
00:47:47,038 --> 00:47:48,691
So I know you need more time
to think about the tree,
1204
00:47:48,735 --> 00:47:50,171
but I also know
1205
00:47:50,215 --> 00:47:50,911
that I was just going
to spend the whole day
1206
00:47:50,955 --> 00:47:53,479
working and stressing,
1207
00:47:53,522 --> 00:47:56,743
so I decided, in the spirit
of Christmas and slowing down,
1208
00:47:56,786 --> 00:47:58,832
to take the day off
1209
00:47:58,876 --> 00:48:01,487
and partake
in some holiday activities.
1210
00:48:01,530 --> 00:48:02,967
Uh-oh.
1211
00:48:03,010 --> 00:48:04,620
Yeah. I thought maybe
you'd like to join me.
1212
00:48:04,664 --> 00:48:06,927
Is this, like,
a personal mission of yours
1213
00:48:06,971 --> 00:48:09,147
to get me to change
how I feel about Christmas?
1214
00:48:09,190 --> 00:48:10,278
This is just
a couple of friends
1215
00:48:10,322 --> 00:48:11,801
enjoying the holiday season.
1216
00:48:11,845 --> 00:48:13,673
Okay.
I can do that.
1217
00:48:13,716 --> 00:48:14,630
Okay.

Really?

My dad and I
used to do this too.

Now, this
is a very special card.
1244
00:49:15,778 --> 00:49:16,910
Why?
1245
00:49:16,954 --> 00:49:18,956
Because it's from you
to me,
1246
00:49:18,999 --> 00:49:20,566
and when I get it in the mail,
1247
00:49:20,609 --> 00:49:21,784
I'm going to remember
this moment.

Cool!
1249
00:49:23,569 --> 00:49:24,918
So I know you said
you and your grandma

We're going to bake
Christmas cookies?

Yes, we are,

00:49:31,533 --> 00:49:32,708
we're going to make

00:49:52,685 --> 00:49:53,642
Whoa...
1269
00:49:53,686 --> 00:49:54,774
Oooh...
1270
00:49:54,817 --> 00:49:55,644
[Joey]: Nice.
1271
00:49:55,688 --> 00:49:57,124
Yeah!
1272
00:49:57,168 --> 00:49:58,082
They're perfect!
1273
00:49:58,125 --> 00:49:59,344
Definitely not charcoal.
1274
00:49:59,387 --> 00:50:00,954
Did you think they would be?
1275
00:50:00,998 --> 00:50:01,911
Maybe.
1276
00:50:01,955 --> 00:50:03,652
Oh-ho-ho.
1277
00:50:03,696 --> 00:50:05,437
Okay, why don't you put
the cookies over here,
1278
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:08,483
and we can get started
on the icing.
1279
00:50:08,527 --> 00:50:09,876
[Joey]: Sure.
1280
00:50:17,362 --> 00:50:18,928
[they laugh]
1281
00:50:26,197 --> 00:50:28,808
Before cutting down trees
was the tradition,
1282
00:50:28,851 --> 00:50:30,070
people used to put
evergreen boughs
1283
00:50:30,114 --> 00:50:31,854
in their homes,
1284
00:50:31,898 --> 00:50:34,031
and the boughs
were a reminder
1285
00:50:34,074 --> 00:50:36,163
that no matter
how harsh the winter,
1286
00:50:36,207 --> 00:50:37,295
spring would
always return,
1287
00:50:37,338 --> 00:50:39,384
and that's what
a Christmas tree is,
1288
00:50:39,427 --> 00:50:40,950
a reminder of hope.
1289
00:50:56,183 --> 00:50:57,750
Sorry.
1290
00:50:57,793 --> 00:50:59,056
It's just so beautiful.
1291
00:50:59,099 --> 00:51:00,927
[Sam]:
Don't apologize.
1292
00:51:00,970 --> 00:51:02,711
I'd like to look at something
the way you look at that tree.
1293
00:51:04,104 --> 00:51:06,454
Grandma's tree is going
to look awesome in Chicago!
1294
00:51:12,286 --> 00:51:14,027
You know what?
1295
00:51:14,071 --> 00:51:15,724
I bet there's a good one
right through there.
1296
00:51:15,768 --> 00:51:17,117
Want to go check it out?
1297
00:51:17,161 --> 00:51:18,075
[Joey]: Yeah.
1298
00:51:23,297 --> 00:51:25,082
Thanks for being
so patient.
1299
00:51:25,125 --> 00:51:26,692
Klaus and your family
1300
00:51:26,735 --> 00:51:28,911
makes being patient
pretty easy...
1301
00:51:30,261 --> 00:51:32,350
and honestly, Sam,
1302
00:51:32,393 --> 00:51:35,527
whatever you decide
about the tree,
1303
00:51:35,570 --> 00:51:37,572
I'm just so happy
that I came.
1304
00:51:40,793 --> 00:51:41,924
[clears throat]
1305
00:51:41,968 --> 00:51:44,623
Me too.
[chuckles]
1306
00:51:44,666 --> 00:51:46,364
[Joey]:
I found it!
1307
00:51:46,407 --> 00:51:47,495
I found our Christmas tree.
1308
00:51:48,714 --> 00:51:50,846
[Sam]: Yeah?
Did you get a good one?
1309
00:51:50,890 --> 00:51:52,109
[Joey]:
It's perfect.
1310
00:51:52,152 --> 00:51:53,936
This might work, huh?
1311
00:51:53,980 --> 00:51:56,591
Maybe we should ask
the tree expert.
1312
00:51:56,635 --> 00:51:58,376
Well?
1313
00:51:58,419 --> 00:51:59,942
Joey, how do you make
finding the perfect tree
1314
00:51:59,986 --> 00:52:01,596
look so easy?
1315
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:02,597
Are you after my job?
1316
00:52:02,641 --> 00:52:04,164
[Sam chuckles]
1317
00:52:04,208 --> 00:52:05,687
[Sam]: I think
you're old enough
1318
00:52:05,731 --> 00:52:06,645
for this now, huh?
1319
00:52:06,688 --> 00:52:08,255
Really?
1320
00:52:08,299 --> 00:52:10,736
Yeah. Okay.
Come on, get in here.
1321
00:52:10,779 --> 00:52:13,478
We do long, just smooth,
slow strokes, okay?
1322
00:52:13,521 --> 00:52:15,132
You let the saw
do the work.
1323
00:52:15,175 --> 00:52:16,220
I'll help you
get started.
1324
00:52:16,263 --> 00:52:17,960
Got it?
1325
00:52:18,004 --> 00:52:19,875
[sawing]
1326
00:52:23,052 --> 00:52:24,184
Good job.
1327
00:52:27,361 --> 00:52:29,842
[Sam]: All right, here.
Think this will do it.
1328
00:52:29,885 --> 00:52:31,148
Yeah? That's
good, right?
1329
00:52:31,191 --> 00:52:32,540
Yeah.
1330
00:52:32,584 --> 00:52:35,717
["Angels We Have Heard on High"
playing]
1331
00:52:35,761 --> 00:52:37,371
Joey, you're a pro.
1332
00:52:38,329 --> 00:52:39,504
Thanks.
1333
00:52:39,547 --> 00:52:41,201
Okay, I have something
for you.
1334
00:52:41,245 --> 00:52:42,159
Really?
1335
00:52:42,202 --> 00:52:43,116
Yes.
1336
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:44,073
[Sam]:
What?
1337
00:52:44,117 --> 00:52:46,206
[Joey]:
What is it?
1338
00:52:48,382 --> 00:52:50,341
It's an angel!
1339
00:52:51,733 --> 00:52:53,474
[Holly]: My mother's
family has a tradition
1340
00:52:53,518 --> 00:52:55,650
of using an angel
instead of a star
1341
00:52:55,694 --> 00:52:56,869
on the top
of the tree.
1342
00:52:56,912 --> 00:52:58,784
It's a reminder
of everyone we love
1343
00:52:58,827 --> 00:53:00,046
looking out for us.
1344
00:53:00,089 --> 00:53:01,482
It's actually
a tradition I brought
1345
00:53:01,526 --> 00:53:03,223
to the Radcliffe Center.
1346
00:53:03,267 --> 00:53:05,225
I have one just like it
on my tree.
1347
00:53:12,406 --> 00:53:13,581
It's perfect.
1348
00:53:15,148 --> 00:53:16,584
[Holly]: I just think
it's so beautiful
1349
00:53:16,628 --> 00:53:19,239
how our mothers have
influenced our Christmases.
1350
00:53:19,283 --> 00:53:20,501
[Sam]: What do
you say, buddy?
1351
00:53:20,545 --> 00:53:21,459
Thank you.
1352
00:53:21,502 --> 00:53:22,242
[Holly]:
You're welcome.
1353
00:53:22,286 --> 00:53:23,635
Thank you.
1354
00:53:23,678 --> 00:53:25,071
[Holly]: On the farm,
we always had
1355
00:53:25,114 --> 00:53:27,160
a fresh Christmas tree,
with roots.
1356
00:53:27,204 --> 00:53:29,945
My dad would always say,
1357
00:53:29,989 --> 00:53:32,600
"Love is like
a Christmas tree.
1358
00:53:32,644 --> 00:53:35,908
It needs to have roots
and wings."
1359
00:53:37,475 --> 00:53:39,128
Hm.
1360
00:53:41,653 --> 00:53:43,872
Uh, well, um...
1361
00:53:43,916 --> 00:53:44,830
Let's get ready for
the festival tomorrow.
1362
00:53:44,873 --> 00:53:45,961
Okay.
1363
00:53:48,355 --> 00:53:49,530
I'll meet you
back at the inn.
1364
00:53:49,574 --> 00:53:50,444
Okay.
1365
00:53:52,229 --> 00:53:53,839
Thanks for that.
1366
00:53:53,882 --> 00:53:54,883
No problem.
1367
00:53:54,927 --> 00:53:56,842
So, uh..
1368
00:53:56,885 --> 00:53:58,800
was an entire day
of Christmas activities
1369
00:53:58,844 --> 00:54:00,367
just pure torture for you?
1370
00:54:00,411 --> 00:54:02,717
Oh, uh... no.
1371
00:54:02,761 --> 00:54:04,110
Um...
1372
00:54:05,633 --> 00:54:08,027
You know, what would you say
if I told you
1373
00:54:08,070 --> 00:54:09,158
it was actually really nice?
1374
00:54:09,202 --> 00:54:11,422
Oh.
1375
00:54:11,465 --> 00:54:13,380
I would say "Operation
Lift Sam's Christmas Spirits"
1376
00:54:13,424 --> 00:54:14,381
is working...
1377
00:54:15,991 --> 00:54:17,689
and I had
a great day too.
1378
00:54:17,732 --> 00:54:19,081
Your family's lovely...
1379
00:54:19,125 --> 00:54:21,345
Yeah.
1380
00:54:21,388 --> 00:54:23,825
And being in Klaus
makes me feel like...
1381
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:26,393
You're home again?
1382
00:54:26,437 --> 00:54:28,308
Yeah.
1383
00:54:33,661 --> 00:54:34,923
Okay. Well...
1384
00:54:34,967 --> 00:54:37,839
I'm going to...
I'm going to go.
1385
00:54:37,883 --> 00:54:40,494
Well, you are...
1386
00:54:40,538 --> 00:54:43,802
overlooking one
Christmas tradition.
1387
00:54:43,845 --> 00:54:45,847
Well, underlooking.
1388
00:54:47,371 --> 00:54:48,546
Oh, the vile weed?
1389
00:54:50,112 --> 00:54:52,245
And I thought that
was just for holiday people.
1390
00:54:52,289 --> 00:54:54,116
Well...
1391
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:56,336
maybe I'm re-thinking
my Grinchhood.
1392
00:54:57,598 --> 00:54:58,512
Yeah?
1393
00:55:01,254 --> 00:55:02,168
How can I not?
1394
00:55:06,738 --> 00:55:07,739
[Joey]: Dad!
1395
00:55:07,782 --> 00:55:10,872
We can't find the sweaters.
1396
00:55:13,179 --> 00:55:14,398
All right,
I'll be right up.
1397
00:55:14,441 --> 00:55:16,225
It's okay.
1398
00:55:17,705 --> 00:55:18,663
Good night.
1399
00:55:18,706 --> 00:55:20,708
Good night.
1400
00:55:28,586 --> 00:55:30,065
[Aimee]:
Okay, it looks good!
1401
00:55:30,109 --> 00:55:31,545
She'll be down
any sec, right?
1402
00:55:31,589 --> 00:55:33,242
[Aimee]:
Mine's uglier than yours.
1403
00:55:33,286 --> 00:55:34,287
[Joey]: No, mine's uglier.
1404
00:55:34,331 --> 00:55:35,419
[chuckling]
1405
00:55:35,462 --> 00:55:37,377
[George whispering]
Oh, here...
1406
00:55:37,421 --> 00:55:38,683
[Holly laughs]
What is going on?
1407
00:55:38,726 --> 00:55:40,337
Leslie made them.
1408
00:55:40,380 --> 00:55:43,557
Every year, she'd try to make
her ugliest sweater yet.
1409
00:55:43,601 --> 00:55:46,255
She was...
repeatedly successful.
1410
00:55:46,299 --> 00:55:47,909
[laughing]
1411
00:55:47,953 --> 00:55:48,954
It's a family tradition.
1412
00:55:48,997 --> 00:55:50,390
So, what do you think?
1413
00:55:50,434 --> 00:55:52,610
I think
it's truly...
1414
00:55:52,653 --> 00:55:54,176
truly ugly.
1415
00:55:55,439 --> 00:55:57,223
The ugliest.
1416
00:55:57,266 --> 00:55:58,398

But Holly, you've worked
so hard for your job.

You are your job.
1628
01:04:27,864 --> 01:04:30,823
No.
No, I'm more than this job,
1629
01:04:30,867 --> 01:04:34,000
but I am so grateful
to Radcliffe
1630

that it's taught me,
1631
01:04:35,610 --> 01:04:37,656

to get out of the city

1803
01:12:20,510 --> 01:12:21,902
[laughs]
1804
01:12:23,295 --> 01:12:25,166
But I know.
1805
01:12:25,210 --> 01:12:26,254
You want Sam.
1806
01:12:33,479 --> 01:12:35,742
I just want a home...
1807
01:12:38,397 --> 01:12:40,225
and I want a family.
1808
01:12:40,268 --> 01:12:44,577
Well, the Holly I know
never takes no for an answer.
1809
01:12:44,621 --> 01:12:45,752
Well, the Holly I know
1810
01:12:45,796 --> 01:12:48,102
is always protecting herself.
1811
01:12:48,146 --> 01:12:49,930
Well, you got hurt.
1812
01:12:51,715 --> 01:12:54,587
That's life.
That's love.
1813
01:12:54,631 --> 01:12:55,675
You know?
1814
01:12:55,719 --> 01:12:58,069
It hurts sometimes,
1815
01:12:58,112 --> 01:13:00,941
but you have
to pick yourself up
1816
01:13:00,985 --> 01:13:02,943
and start again.
1817
01:13:02,987 --> 01:13:05,381
We can't give up,
especially you,
1818

you're Miss Christmas.

What do you
always say?
1820
01:13:11,299 --> 01:13:12,431
At Christmas time,
1821
01:13:12,475 --> 01:13:13,345
we have
to open up our hearts,
1822
01:13:13,389 --> 01:13:14,520
even when it's hard...
1823
01:13:14,564 --> 01:13:16,783

a little Christmas cheer...

Okay...
1828
01:13:29,013 --> 01:13:31,276
And you can decorate
the tree.
1829
01:13:31,319 --> 01:13:32,538

No, he's running errands
till sundown.

01:15:22,300 --> 01:15:23,606
We spread the word
around town.
1854

Sounds like there's going
to be a big crowd.

to Radcliffe,

01:15:32,615 --> 01:15:34,268
then Radcliffe is going
to come to the tree.

than done...

01:21:00,420 --> 01:21:02,640
Klaus doesn't have
a Christmas tree farm,
1984
01:21:02,683 --> 01:21:04,511
and we actually have
the room for it,
1985
01:21:04,555 --> 01:21:07,427
and as for growing
the Radcliffe tree,
1986
01:21:07,471 --> 01:21:09,429
maybe this is
a good start.
1987
01:21:13,781 --> 01:21:16,219
In 50 years,
we can donate it.
1988
01:21:16,262 --> 01:21:18,003
It actually takes 80 years
to get big enough, but--
1989
01:21:18,047 --> 01:21:19,918
yeah, but we can watch it grow
together.
1990
01:21:19,962 --> 01:21:22,616
How did you know
I was coming?
1991
01:21:22,660 --> 01:21:24,096
Well, one, if you weren't,
I was coming to get you.
1992
01:21:25,489 --> 01:21:26,969
Um, but two...
1993
01:21:27,012 --> 01:21:28,361
Holly? Could we
borrow you a moment?
1994
01:21:28,405 --> 01:21:29,667
Sure.
1995
01:21:29,710 --> 01:21:30,755
-Okay.
-Go ahead.
1996
01:21:33,149 --> 01:21:34,498
[reporter]:
Last night,
1997
01:21:34,541 --> 01:21:35,803
we had the tree lighting
1998
01:21:35,847 --> 01:21:37,370
at Chicago's
Radcliffe Center.
1999
01:21:37,414 --> 01:21:38,806
Tonight, Radcliffe
has come
2000
01:21:38,850 --> 01:21:39,895
to Klaus, Wisconsin,
2001
01:21:39,938 --> 01:21:42,027
and here we have
Miss Christmas
2002
01:21:42,071 --> 01:21:43,724
to tell us
how that happened.
2003
01:21:43,768 --> 01:21:45,901
Well, it all started
with a letter
2004
01:21:45,944 --> 01:21:47,772
from a really special boy
named Joey,
2005
01:21:47,815 --> 01:21:49,905
and, um...
he's here.
2006
01:21:49,948 --> 01:21:50,818
Can he join us?
2007
01:21:50,862 --> 01:21:51,819
Of course.
2008
01:21:51,863 --> 01:21:53,299
Okay. Joey!
2009
01:21:53,343 --> 01:21:54,387
Hi, Joey.
2010
01:21:54,431 --> 01:21:56,694
So you wrote a letter
2011
01:21:56,737 --> 01:21:57,825
to donate this tree
to the Radcliffe Center?
2012
01:21:57,869 --> 01:21:59,479
Yup.
2013
01:21:59,523 --> 01:22:02,047
I wanted the whole world
to see my grandma's tree...
2014
01:22:03,179 --> 01:22:05,224
And guess who mailed
the letter?
2015
01:22:06,182 --> 01:22:07,270
[people chuckle]
2016
01:22:09,011 --> 01:22:10,577
[Holly]:
Okay, well...
2017
01:22:10,621 --> 01:22:12,275
I guess we're ready
for the main attraction.
2018
01:22:12,318 --> 01:22:15,278
-Whoo!
-Yeah!
2019
01:22:15,321 --> 01:22:17,758
Here we go!
2020
01:22:17,802 --> 01:22:19,760
And I wrote
the second letter.
2021
01:22:19,804 --> 01:22:21,937
I just carved the tree
and crossed my fingers.
2022
01:22:26,332 --> 01:22:27,899
[Holly]: Okay, buddy.
2023
01:22:27,943 --> 01:22:28,944
Go ahead!
2024
01:22:28,987 --> 01:22:30,771
-Really?
-Go for it.
2025
01:22:30,815 --> 01:22:31,772
Oh yeah!
2026
01:22:32,991 --> 01:22:33,992
[Sam]: All right,
shall we count it down?
2027
01:22:35,211 --> 01:22:37,691
Three... two... one...
2028
01:22:38,649 --> 01:22:40,607
[wild cheering]
2029
01:22:45,351 --> 01:22:48,093
[tune of "Deck the Halls"
playing]
2030
01:22:51,314 --> 01:22:52,663
Whoo!
2031
01:22:54,099 --> 01:22:56,058

2033

2034
01:23:02,368 --> 01:23:04,805
Because I finally found
something to look at
2035
01:23:04,849 --> 01:23:07,199
the way you look
