Don't tell me

you're already at the office.

Don't tell me you couldn't help
stopping at the Oak Street Store.

Guilty.

So where are you?

Walking to your office

with a gift from Willa

in four, three, two.

I hope it's her famous hot chocolate.

So what's up?

Did you want the New Year,
New You promo cards

on the regional manager's
meeting agenda this morning?

Yes, I do. And

can you leave a note

to connect about
the store's food bank tables, too?

This week before Christmas

is when we get the most donations.

You got it.

Hey, Willa said she wants to see you

after your manager's meeting.

Thanks, Kel. I'm just gonna head home
to change and I'll be right in.

See you soon. Bye.

It's so cold!

It's above freezing.

Is it always this cold?

In December? Yes.

January, February, it's...

much colder.

But in March
it's practically tropical.

Like Hawaii?

Not even a little bit.

He wants to be able
to go to Hawaii for the winter.

We are gonna make it special, yeah?

Alright, there's a cab. Grab your bags.

Here I'll take them
and put them in the trunk.

Alright, organizers

phone, keys, bag, earrings...

Earring.

I just... I couldn't find it anywhere.

I checked my sofa cushions

on top of my fridge

inside my freezer
because that one time

and still didn't turn up a match...

So...

please never leave me.

- Where were they?
- Actually, no, don't tell me.

One in the coffee filter...

Don't say the other, please.

- By the toner for the copier.
- No.

For a woman as organized as you...

I have a curse
when it comes to jewellery.

It just falls off my body.

Manager's meeting in ten,
I'll grab coffee.

Thanks, Kel.

Okay.

There are my boys!

Hey, mom.

Let me get a look at you!

I knew it. You're taller.

Both of you.

So, do you hug

or is that not something cool
grandkids do anymore?

John!

I missed you.

And PJ.

You know what I got inside, PJ?

Some pancakes.

Guess what colour.

Red.

Santa shaped.

And tomorrow we're gonna have
green ones. Christmas trees.

And I can be talked
into whipping up some cream.

What do you say to that?

Okay.

Hey, PJ, aren't you gonna...

No, it's okay.
Don't worry about it.

Sorry about that.
He's really been going through it.

Hon, they've just been on
two flights overnight

and they just left the only home
they've ever known.

I'm surprised
you're not all a little off.

Mom...

can I have some whipped cream, too?

That's my boy.
Welcome home, honey.

- Come on in.
- The house looks great.

I'm so glad you're home.

The decorations are already up?

Hey!

Come on in.

How did
your video conference call go?

It was great.

As promised, forms for
Monte's wrapping paper drive.

Perfect. I overbought for my girls.

I overbought for your girls, too.

Then they will be very happy
to see you at Christmas dinner.

Honestly, you've been
the best host every year.

Thank you.

What is it that you wanted?

Actually I have a side job
for you, and...

Good! You're here early, too.

Scott?

Margie.

Come on in.

Please, sit.

Sit, both of you

and let me explain
why you are both here together.

Scott here has been doing
an amazing job

in the field with sales

but he hasn't spent any time
in our corporate trenches.

So we thought we would give him
a survey of all the departments

starting with marketing

and Margie

we thought you would be
the perfect person

to give Scott the lay of the land.

Are you up for it?

Yeah.

Good. Scott, we will make sure

that corporate housing
is made available to you

so that you won't have to do

that hour and a half drive
back and forth

and you two can work
side by side together

through to the first of the year.

Good?

- Yes, it's great!
- Great.

Excellent. Okay.

That's it.

- Okay.
- Okay.

- So, hats?
- Have 'em.

- Gloves?
- On the list.

Scarves? Earmuffs?

What are earmuffs?

Well...

Here you go.

What do you think?

Ta-da.

Nice.

So we'll do a shopping trip tomorrow,
maybe you could tell us where to go?

I could come with if you'd like.

- Sure.
- And there's a tree lot

right near one of the shops.

I've been waiting
to pick out a big tree

so you guys can help me decorate.

And we should go tomorrow, honestly.

It's one week 'til Christmas.

That's great. And if Grandma
still has her traditions in place

tree shopping tomorrow means...

- Cookie baking tonight.
- Yup.

Whether we're in Hawaii or here,
traditions are traditions.

What about our ornaments and
our special family Christmas stuff?

They should be here today.

We sent all our ornaments
and all that stuff

we bought over the years
special delivery.

I will check the shipper's website
to make sure.

Okay.

No, the boys can help with that.
Can you guys help Grandma clear

- please?
- No. You're my guests.

- Sit still.
- Mom.

We help clear.

Alright.

And whipped cream with Santa pancakes
isn't breakfast every day, right?

Right.

Maybe every other day.

I heard that.

That'd be great, thanks.

That was something.

- Did you know?
- I didn't even know

you were coming to the office.

I was gonna surprise you, after
I figured out what was going on.

They didn't even tell you?

My manager just told me that
Willa wanted to see me at corporate

and that it was good news.

It is good news.
They're grooming you.

Yeah, but for what?
Have you heard anything?

No, I haven't heard anything,
but it's only good.

I mean, you're gonna be ready
for whatever pops up.

Starting with marketing.

And you.

Working side by side
till the beginning of the year.

So, after dating for six months,
ninety miles apart

it's corporate that brings us
to the same zip code?

If it weren't for this company

we never would have even met,
so cheers to more time together.

I have a lot to teach you.
We gotta go.

Let's go.

Grandma said we can get a sled.

And that there's a market
that has games and food

and lots of Christmas stuff.

After all our Christmases in Hawaii

it's fun to be here for once, right?

Yeah.

And brand new pyjamas
every Christmas PJ, My.

We're definitely living here?

We're not going back to Hawaii? Ever?

Okay guys, what's going on?

I think he's wondering,
since your new job went away

if we're really gonna be
living here or not.

I know that this is new
and maybe a little scary...

but I'll tell you what else I know

is that if I got one job
I can get another.

And we didn't
just come here for work.

We came here to be closer
to mom in San Francisco

and Grandma here.

And you know how
I look at things like this, right?

As an adventure?

That's my boy.

Look at that.

Now, grab your toothbrushes and...

Our toothbrushes.

We left them with the mover's stuff,
not our backpacks.

Grandma will have extras.

What about my new one that plays
Jingle Bells and lights up?

You guys finish up, I'll head to
the store and get a replacement

and while I'm gone

call mom, let her know
we got here safely, okay?

- Alright.
- Bye.

So it appears I need to go out

and buy a couple of toothbrushes
for the boys.

I've got extra toothbrushes.

Not toothbrushes that play
Jingle Bells and light up.

Can I borrow your car?

You know, I've got a better idea.

Follow me.

You should have sold it by now.

Come on!

When's the last time
anyone took it for a ride?

I take it for a spin
to pick up groceries once in a while.

Mom.

You should see the faces I get
when I pull up to my book club night.

I remember
when your father bought it.

He swore "I'm gonna fix it up.
We'll have it forever."

He would have loved
having you back home

spending time with the boys.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

So the least you can do

is take it out
to pick up some toothbrushes.

I've got job leads
and phone calls lined up

we're gonna have our own place
before you know it.

Honey, you can spend
as much time as you need.

You know that.

But in the meantime,
it's the boys' first Christmas here

and I've been looking forward to it

ever since you decided
to sell the business and come home.

Don't forget to hit the dash.

So how often do you go to the store?

As often as I can.

Just randomly, to scare the managers?

No, I trust my managers completely.

So you like going there?

I do. I love our stores.

I actually spent all of

high school and college
working at our Oak Street location

where Willa was my manager.

It's rare for someone
to spend their entire career

working for one company anymore.

Yeah.

But I honestly can't imagine
my life without it.

I mean, sometimes I feel like
this place is my entire life

but I have no plans to go anywhere.

I can't imagine they would let you.

This is so weird.

Yeah, but fun, right?

Yeah, like fun weird.

Do you wanna go out for dinner
tomorrow night?

Or Thursday, or Monday?

- Right, because we can? Yeah.
- Yeah.

Suddenly we can decide
when we can fit in a date.

Do you wanna do lunch right now?

I can go down and pick up
this cranberry and apple salad.

I know this place
that does it just in December.

It's like red and green
and all holiday delicious.

I can go grab it and bring it back.

- That sounds great.
- Okay.

And you need to keep working.

Margie, I found your charm.

I even put on
all the jewellery you gave me.

You don't have
to threaten me with it.

No

the Christmas tree one you gave me
for all of our future Christmases.

The one that matches the ornament?

Yes. Why does
every piece of jewellery I own

fall off my body?

I don't understand, either.

I love that charm.

I love you.

I love you, Margie.

Nobody has ever said that
to me before.

Pat?

Pat Godfrey?

Pat! Look behind you!

Margie?

- This is so crazy!
- How crazy is this?

I saw the convertible
and I just knew...

I was driving it
for the first time in years.

- It's been so long!
- So long!

What're you even doing here?

I was gonna call you
when I got settled, but...

I'm moving back.

You're moving back to Boise?

I'm staying with my mom
for the time being.

I had a job offer
but it kinda fell through.

So you're moving from Hawaii
to Boise in December?

It's a new chapter.

I sold the business there
and now it's time to...

Wait, you ran a business?

If you put it like that.

I wouldn't
except for in high school...

You pulled me through algebra one,
algebra two, geometry...

- Trig and...
- Okay!

I found my thing in Hawaii.

Adventure tours, outdoor gear...

I did pretty well
and got bought out by Triptik.

Pat, that's amazing.

Hey, wait.

I have something for you.

I always wondered where this went.

Yeah, it was under the car seat.

When I stopped short, it just...

Didn't you drop it during prom?

Prom

- yes.
- Afterward, do you remember?

- Yes.
- You were always shedding jewellery

in my car, in my house,
at any restaurant we went to

- the movies...
- Full disclosure, I still do.

I am so happy to hear that

because I had
this vision of you in my head

as this fancy, put together
business woman...

Now my assistant tracks them for me.

Excuse me, your assistant?

Okay, so I was right.

Fancy business woman.

Okay, so what's your title?
Go ahead, brag.

Regional vice president of
marketing and promotions

at Connor and Co.

And Connor and Co. was
smart enough to keep you around

and promote you.

- Congrats.
- Thanks.

So I was just here
grabbing some lunch

to bring back to the office.

I was just gonna grab
some toothbrushes

from the drug store.

Toothbrushes?
How many teeth do you have?

I have two sons

and their toothbrushes ended up
in the shipping pod in the move.

John and PJ, we're here together.

You're a dad.

So the four of you...

Three of us.

Divorced three years ago.

She lives in San Francisco
and travels for work

so I'm the primary parent
and it is amazingly amicable.

- That's good.
- Yeah.

It was really great seeing you.

Congratulations on everything.

Yeah. Hey, you wanna
grab coffee sometime?

Sure.

Yeah, just maybe after the New Year
when everything settles down.

Yeah, of course.

Here.

Give me your number.

There you go.

Yeah.

- I will text you mine.
- Sure.

And speaking of which, here.

No. That is for you.

It's waited 17 years for you.

Thank you.

Okay, I'll see you later.

Bye.

So, Margie Southworth, huh?

- Unbelievable, right?
- Yeah, it's amazing. How is she?

She's a VP over
at Connor and Co. now.

Good for her.

I always thought she had
a good head on her shoulders.

- What?
- It's just that

of all the people
on my first day back

on an errand that I wasn't
even supposed to go on...

You know what I call that, huh?

You know, I gotta get started
on those phone calls.

People are gonna head
out of town for the holidays.

And I've got
cookie baking prep to do.

You're gonna run out of sugar.

Over Christmas? Never!

I got a job offer, Margie.

In Hawaii.

That's amazing.

For the whole summer?

No, it's a real job.

Wait, what about college?

I'd skip college and get started.

A job in Hawaii
is just something you can do

until the real thing comes along.

- College is...
- Is perfect for you.

But I need to be outside.
That's where my future is.

Come with me.

Find out.

Margie? Buy one get one numbers?

Yeah.

It's right in here.

I'm actually gonna go to
the Oak Street store for a bit.

Checking the windows again
or checking in with Carmen?

Maybe a little bit of both.

They moved Scott here?

Yeah, temporarily.

Or at least
that's what it sounds like.

And I'm training him.

Face to face.

No more round trip dinners,
long drives.

How do you think it's gonna go?

Great. Why wouldn't it?

Your whole thing's been
long distance and slow

now it's every day in the office.

That's a lot of expectation
and pressure.

We don't do
that whole pressure thing, alright?

It's very easy between us. Grown up.

Grown up meaning you spend
six months seeing each other

once or twice a week having dinner,
watching TV and talking about work?

That is not...

You've never really felt like
he was the one who was meant to be.

He doesn't give you that "I'll die
if I never see him again" feeling.

Carmen, that only happens
in the movies.

That's not true.
Tell me you've never had that.

What?

Pat Godfrey moved back to town.

What? Pat? From high school?

Yeah, I ran into him in my car.

You ran into his car?

No, I mean, we were

going to the same place
at the same time and...

You didn't come here
to tell me about Scott

you came to talk about Pat.

No, I didn't.

He's got two kids.

He's married? Too bad.

Divorced.

No, okay? It's been like
two decades, we were teenagers

and listen, if we were meant to be
we would have been.

Anyway, you're biased, okay?

Because you always thought
we were gonna get married.

I gotta go.

Hey, stay away from my windows.

And you thought you were gonna
get married, too, Margie Southworth.

Hi.

Alright, here's another one.

Where do snowmen keep their money?

In a snow bank.

That's my boy.

Alright, perfect.

Here they come.

Okay.

They're hot. Don't touch.

How many do we get to eat tonight?

None. These are for tree trimming.

The tree won't mind.

How'd the phone calls go?

I made one, two, three
phone calls today.

Alright, you guys ready
to get cleaned up?

- But dad...
- And then Sonny the Snowman.

Yeah!

Let's go, come on!

The moon shone bright
on the last snowfall

Sonny the Snowman spun around,
having a ball.

The boys joined in amidst the flurry.

"I can do this all night,
don't you worry."

That's some great reading, buddy.

And we can make our very own
Sonny the Snowman this week.

You know how to make snowmen?

I lived here for eighteen years
before I left for Hawaii.

I'm a snowman making expert.

Do you think our Christmas stuff
will come tomorrow?

The shipping company swore

that we would have
our special things in time.

Love you guys.

- Love you, too.
- Goodnight. Sleep tight.

The boys go down okay?

PJ seems a little out of sorts.

I just want everything to be
the way it usually is for them.

Hey, I was gonna go out for a bit,
do you mind watching the boys?

No, of course not.

Take all the time you need.

Okay.

Thank you.

Come on.

I was just buying Christmas lights.

Yeah, and I was...

Oddly at the same place
at the same time.

Yeah.

Are you looking for gifts?

No, I was just looking...

for a little bit of that Christmas
I had as a kid.

Hawaii's fantastic...

but there's just
something special about...

Snow?

The place you grew up.

Yeah.

And you're obviously...

Yeah, I promised myself

I'd finally get my lights up
a week before Christmas.

Ambitious job.

This is only half of it.

The rest are at my house.

And you're planning on
hanging them all by yourself?

Well, if you had an extra pair
of hands, I wouldn't say no.

Wait. You rappelled down a waterfall
with young children.

Well, it was their idea.

Wait 'til I tell you
where we zip lined.

Please don't say over a live volcano.

It wasn't active at the time.

And you loved every minute of it.

So much so that you built
an entire business out of it.

It's just being outside all the time

and guiding people
through amazing terrain

for the first time or the 50th time

and every day just being different.

Aren't you gonna miss it?

Yeah, I will.

But...

everything changed
in the past few years.

Splitting with my ex, Casey

selling the business, my dad...

I was so sorry to hear about him.

He was such an incredible guy.

I just thought

with mom being all alone
and Casey being in San Francisco

that it was just time to...

Start a new adventure?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Your boys are so lucky.

Actually, I'm the lucky one.

Daredevil, think you can
put in the final bulb?

Spot me?

Okay, but you know if you fall
we're both going down, right?

- It's okay.
- Okay.

You are my soft landing.

Okay.

Alright, well just don't
electrocute yourself.

The night is full of danger.

There we go.

Beautiful.

Hot chocolate?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

My candy cane ornament?
How did you end up with it?

I have no idea.

I still have the charm, too.

And you haven't lost it?
Or the bracelet?

Are you kidding? I would never
let that thing out of my sight.

I can't remember,
what were the odds of us coming up

with the same gift for each other
six years running?

I am terrible at math, so...

Hey, what do you do
for the holidays? Your folks?

They... they retired to Arizona.

They were never
big holiday people, anyway.

Right. And they're doing okay?

They are. They're not really
big phone people, either

so I usually go out there
a couple times a year.

- But you know my boss, Willa?
- Yeah.

I spend it with her and her family.

And you never married? Divorced?

Ran away and joined the circus?

No. None of the above.

Although I am seeing somebody
right now.

He works for Connor and Co.

That's great. Great. How long?

Six months.

I'm really happy for you.

It seems like you've got a good life.

- Well deserved.
- Thank you.

Well, I shouldn't have left the boys
for this long on the first night.

Yeah, and I have numbers to run,
but I'm really glad we did this.

Yeah, me too.

Well, good luck with your move and
your boys and your next adventure.

Yeah, you too. I mean,
with the stuff you're doing.

Yeah.

Good morning.

- Morning.
- Want some coffee?

Biggest cup you've got.

How long have they been up?

Long enough to need a job.

Rough on ya, huh?

No, it's fine.

I remember having
one boisterous boy around the house.

You could have woken me up.

No, I enjoy it, honestly.

And besides, by the time
the pancakes are made

all the ornaments I kept here
will be sorted for trimming.

It's a win-win.

You are spoiling us, you know?

No, you're spoiling me.

I like having a little noise
around the house again.

So, I was asleep
when you got back last night.

How was your drive?

I wound up at Margie's.

You hung out with Pat last night?

How was it?

It was...

- Great.
- Really?

Yeah, we had a nice time.

- Nice?
- She's got a terrific house.

A lot of her decorations
look just like yours.

We hung lights, we got caught up...

And then we hugged.

You hugged?

Goodbye.

It was good to see her,
but my priority is the boys.

And now I go back to
my holiday crazy and...

I go back to the job hunt.

Life goes back to normal.

Life goes back to normal.

Hey, boys? Your mom's calling.

- Yeah.
- Hey, Cas.

Alright, it's mom!

Guys?

Here you go.

- Johnny boy.
- Hi, mom!

Mom, look at my earmuffs!

I love them!

We baked Christmas cookies
with Grandma yesterday!

And our Christmas stuff
is supposed to come!

Oh, my goodness.

We've been having a great time.

It's so much fun.

Their boxes?

No deliveries yet, but it's early.

Do you remember
Michelle Shepperd in Seattle?

Her son Patrick is in town
for the holidays.

You used to play with him
when you were kids.

Patrick Shepperd.

Yeah. He now works
for the Seattle parks district

so I thought it might be
a good person for you to speak to.

Shoot me his number,
I'll give him a call.

Great.

Hey.

How long have you been in?

What's today?

Kelly, it's almost the holidays.
You can afford to relax.

I'll relax after Valentine's Day.

Twenty-five Christmas party games
for the office party.

I like the gift wrap relay race
and Christmas charades.

Perfect.

Wait, what's this?

Jane from Boise Home Outletters
called you?

That's nothing.

She's my position over there.

Is she trying to poach you?

I already called her back
to tell her I'm not interested.

Okay, because if someone makes you
an offer please tell me.

You know how much I value you.

Thanks, Margie.

Hey. I heard a rumour about what
they might be grooming Scott for.

Todd Cray might be taking
another job.

Wait, Todd Cray from
the Midwest office?

He has your same job over there.

You think they're training Scott
for Todd's spot?

That office is in Indianapolis.

He went to grab coffee.

Okay. Thanks, Kel.

Thanks.

Thanks.

That was unexpected.

Yeah.

Would you leave Idaho?

I don't know.

I mean,
it's an incredible opportunity

and my family is scattered
all over the country, anyways.

The only real tie I have here is you.

So what would happen between us
if I got the job?

- Well...
- We've been apart more than

we've been together.

Does that mean
we're good at long distance

or that it's just easier?

I don't know.

We've never really asked
that question, you know?

What if I'm asking it now?

Hang on.

New Year, New You meeting
in ten minutes.

- Right.
- Look, all I know is that

I actually really love
spending this time together

which is the only way for us
to find out, right?

Right.

Do you wanna maybe have dinner
at my house tonight?

I'll cook?

Yeah.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Okay. Well...

if you hear of anything
or anything opens up...

Thanks. Merry Christmas.

- Everything okay?
- Yeah.

Alright, guys.
Your old man is a pro at this.

Watch and learn.

- Please, take a couple of these.
- Okay.

Now, it's really like
you're tossing a little Frisbee.

That's it. You just need
to get a little closer.

Alright.

Alright, hot cider, my treat.
And then we pick a tree.

Come on, guys.

Pick a good one!

...not as many branches.

Okay. I think we found it.

It's not tiny. It's pretty tall.

Morning calls didn't pan out, huh?

Boise Adventures was interested

until they found out about
my winter weather experience.

What? You skied
when you were a kid. That was...

A teenage hobby
is not work experience.

Talked to Donnie at World Wide

but he won't need anybody with
my skill set until the summer.

You remember Ned from the Boy Scouts?

Oh yeah, he runs the...

the high school tours outdoors,
doesn't he?

He's all filled up.

I'm running out of contacts fast.

Something's gonna turn up,
I just know it.

Decca Print Shop's hiring.

Where your dad worked?

I could reach out to
one of his co-workers

maybe get an interview.

Is that really what you wanna do?

Maybe if I land something now

the boys will know
that it's all gonna be okay.

Maybe it doesn't have to be
a perfect job, just a job.

Look at this.

Dad?

I think we found it.

Hey guys. Hey boys, let's go.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry.

Hey.

Margie! Oh, my goodness,
look at you!

You're still as beautiful as ever.
And very successful, I hear.

Isn't this crazy? I just came
to get some vegetables and I ran...

Now you must be John and PJ.

Your dad and I have known each other
since we were about...

One year older than John is now.

Is that right?

Let me tell you,
you are a lot handsomer

than your dad was back then.

- Hey!
- And a lot nicer, too, I bet.

Now, wait a minute.

No, Lois, you raised
an incredible son

but the day that I met Pat

he nearly ploughed into me
at the school dance.

That's because
you and Carmen slid to the left

when you were supposed to...

Slide to the right.

Here we go.

Right foot, stomp, stomp.

Take it back now.

You finally did it right.

I've been practising.

Now, if you are buying a tree today

that means
you made cookies last night?

Your grandma's sugar cookies
and gingerbread.

- Yeah. You remember.
- Yeah. I do.

We eat them while we decorate.

Do you wanna decorate with us?

Tonight, I'm actually...

It's tomorrow.

Dad even says there's enough snow
to make a snowman like Sonny, too.

Do you make snowmen?

I haven't in a really long time.

We don't have our special ornaments,
but Dad said by tomorrow.

What happened to your ornaments?

They're stuck at
the shipping company.

I called but because of the holidays
it's tough to get through.

Yeah.

Dad can teach you
how to make snowmen.

He said he's an expert.

Tomorrow, huh?

Any time after work
at my house, of course.

Okay.

Let's do it.

And what was the name
of the shipping company?

It's called Ship Shore.

Okay.

Eddie, I know
you can make this happen.

Can I call you back in an hour?

Two? Okay, thank you.
You're the best.

Hey, could you do me a huge favour

and pick me up
one of those Christmas baskets

and some mulled wine for me
to bring to Eddie?

- Eddie in the mail room?
- Yes.

- On it. And you've got...
- Thank you.

Willa and the 9.00 in two minutes.

I'm just dropping my coat
and I will be right there.

So, Scott's doing well?

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised

if he's absorbed the whole department
in the next two days.

Yes, he's a keeper.

And everything on the not work front?

It's an adjustment.

A good adjustment?

Scott's such a great guy.

Yes, he is.
But that's not what I asked.

Is this kinda like
the time with Mark?

Or maybe Ben?

Or maybe it's more like Alex.

Wait...

Do you think maybe
there's a pattern there?

I have a pattern?

It seems like you never
let anyone get too close.

At least that's what it seems like.

You don't see it?

Not until you just mentioned it.

Well, you'll get there.

You have a lot of love to give

you just haven't found the one,
and I have faith.

Ready?

I'm so stuffed.

I kinda wish there was a way

we could pack up the leftovers
for the food bank.

I bought jams and honey
and every item

that I could find to donate
to the Oak Street store.

I think it's so awesome that C and C
has a company-wide charity.

Yeah, me too.

It really helps tell
the company's story

which our customers love, too.

Is that your favourite part
about the company?

The story?

Is that why
you've been there for so long?

I think I told you that I grew up
with a lot of advantages.

A beautiful home, a great education

but my parents were...

Distant.

It just really wasn't
a very warm environment

- Right.
- you know.

I thought that's how everybody had it
until I started working at the store.

With Willa as your manager.

Yes, and she was crazy supportive
and just took me under her wing...

And work became more than a job.

Yeah, it became a home.

After I graduated,
my parents moved to Arizona

and I became part of
Connor and Co.'s story.

Seventeen years later
I'm still there.

And you could never leave Boise.

Or the company.

Well, I could leave Boise...

Dessert?

Sure.

Margie Southworth.

Yes! Eddie, thank you!

You're amazing.
Okay, tell me where to go.

Okay, great. Thank you.

Margie!

Can I help you with those?

I'm okay.

Come on in.

You didn't really have
to bring all that.

I wanted to.

Lois, your beautiful home.

Thank you.

You can just put those there.

Okay.

These are a little heavy.

So, snowmen first
and then we trim the tree.

- Okay.
- Come on.

Roll!

Come on, you can do it!

This is a lot harder than I remember.

Can I be on head duty?
It just seems a lot easier.

Come on, I'm on the head.

Sorry.

Okay, John

you gotta flatten the top
so the next one doesn't roll off.

How come you keep
telling everybody what to do

and not doing anything yourself?

- Wha?
- Yeah, Pat. How come?

Wha-no!

No, wait, no!

- No. We're doing this!
- Gotcha, Dad.

We are not... I am not doing this.
We are making snowmen.

Are you gonna fight back
or are you just gonna stand there?

Hey, family! Anybody for cookies?

Okay, what do you think?

Genius.

That's so cool!

You may now eat your cookies.

Okay, let's celebrate!
Inside because I'm so cold.

Okay, so before we decorate the tree

can I get you two
to help me with something?

John, why don't you take this one,
and PJ you take that one.

Now, they might be
the two missing boxes from Hawaii.

Margie.

Okay. Well,
I work in national retail.

We have a few shipping contacts
so I did a little tracking down.

These are our baby ornaments.

Hey, your tree topper.

My mom made that
when she was a little girl.

I was really afraid
I'd never see it again.

Thank you.

Now it feels like Christmas.

Thank you, Margie.

That looks great.

Remind you of old times?

- Margie, try this one.
- Yeah. Take that.

Looks great, Dad.

PJ, go grab that...

There, that's perfect.

Where should I put this one?

My present ornament. You kept it.

Yeah, I kept all the ornaments
that matched your charms.

You can't throw away fate.

This looks great.

I love this ornament.

There we go.

It feels just like home.

That looks beautiful.

It sure is.

It's great.

These were always my favourite.

My mom taught me how to make them.

And you taught me.

I can't tell you
how much it means to us

that you were able to get
a hold of our family treasures.

It was my pleasure.

You know, I don't think I realized

just how many of your traditions
I carried forward.

- Like what?
- Like I do wrapping paper doors

I put candles everywhere.

And I buy myself
new Christmas PJ's every year.

I just really never realized
what the holidays could be like

until I met Pat
and he brought me to you.

You're welcome here any time, honey.

Thanks.

Yeah. You too. Thanks.

That was dad's friend, Mike.

They might have an opening.

He says hi.

Say hi back.

Job options.

At Decca?

I'm just exploring.

No, but you're adventure boy.

Oceans, mountains

showing people amazing terrain
for the first time or the 50th time.

Sorry.

Boys, mom's calling.

- Mom?
- Yeah.

Hi mom! We made a snowman
and a snow-woman!

We'll show you. PJ, come on.

I should get going.

- Margie...
- It's late and yeah.

Okay.

You should just have this time
with your mom and your boys.

I don't wanna intrude.

It's not...

You have this whole life

and I don't even know
what we're doing here.

We're just catching up.

Are we?

Look, you have
two young kids and an ex

and you just got here.

And you have a wonderful job
and a guy that you're seeing

and I am not trying
to come in between anything.

No, neither am I.

It's just...

What?

Doesn't this seem like...

- What?
- It's just...

the snowmen building
and the tree decorating

and acting like no time has passed.

This isn't...

- like, we're not...
- Wait.

Are you saying
that we can't even see each other?

We're bound to bump into each other.

We always do.

Yeah.

I hope it goes really well
for you here.

And...

I wish you a really merry Christmas.

Scott and I will just spend
more time together, and...

Margie.

Maybe he's not taking
the job in Indiana.

Maybe I should just give us
a better chance.

Is that what you want?

Hey, what are you really
struggling with?

What if I had followed Pat
to Hawaii all those years ago?

What if I never went to Hawaii?

I could have survived here,
taken a job with dad.

I would have had more time
with him and you.

Think of all the things
you wouldn't have had.

I just wish...

It's time to buckle down.

Focus on why I came here.

You know, taking responsibility
for the kids

doesn't mean you have to give up
on what you want for yourself.

I have a meeting with Mike Willis

at the Decca Print Shop
tomorrow afternoon.

If he has a job for me

it's the right thing for the kids.

I hate hearing you talk like this.

Will you at least
call Patrick Shepperd?

He's been in your field,
maybe he has a job lead for you.

Mom, I'm gonna do the right thing.

Thanks for staying up, mom.

Hey, kid. It's four days
'til Santa delivers.

What're you doing out of bed?

You okay?

Are you sad you went to Hawaii?

No.

Without Hawaii I wouldn't
have had you or your brother

and everything in my life is better
because the two of you are in it.

Come here.

I promise you everything
is gonna be okay, PJ.

Do you trust me?

Alright, go to bed.

When will that agreement be signed?

If we're uprooting our senior people
at Christmas time

then we need to let them know.

Yes, you told me last week

that you'd have all the paperwork
finished by now.

It's not fair to make people wait.

Hey.

- Hey.
- I just found something out.

Todd Cray isn't leaving his job
in Indianapolis.

That rumour that we heard,
it's not true.

Then who's position
are you being groomed for?

Nobody else in marketing is leaving
from what I can tell.

Wait, you don't think
they're having me train you

to take my job?

Scott, that's gotta be the reason.

What else could it be?

There's gotta be
a better explanation.

You said yourself
they're rounding out my education.

Have they told you what other
departments you're assigned to?

They haven't said anything.

But something else
could be coming up.

Hey, I didn't mean to...

You didn't do anything,
but I gotta go.

Thank you for the heads up.

Margie...

Great.

Pat?

- I'm Pat.
- I'm Pat.

- Patrick.
- That is confusing.

I usually use my last name
since I run into this

but they spell Shepperd
in so many ways...

Hold on, did you say
your name is Patrick Shepperd?

Am I in trouble?

No.

I'm Pat Godfrey.

- Our mother's...
- Are you kidding?

We haven't seen each other...

Since we were nine, ten?

When I broke my wrist.

I was just gonna call you.

I heard that you work
for Seattle parks district.

Yeah.

I've been running tours
and outdoor adventures in Hawaii

- for the past 17 years.
- You're kidding.

My job is coordinating with the
private tour companies and charters.

- Do you have a minute to talk?
- Yeah.

- Alright.
- Alright. Cool, man.

Hey.

You out already?

Yeah. I'm gonna go down
to the Oak Street store

and help Carmen
break down the food bank.

Margie...

Listen. You know that call
from Boise Home Outletters?

If working for one company
your whole career isn't your path

please take the interview, okay?

Don't worry about me.

And there was Patrick.

I know, I couldn't believe it either.

He knows so many people.

One of them might have
a perfect job for me.

In Seattle.

That's the thing.

I just got here.

I uprooted the boys to Boise

and even if there is
a perfect job out of this

can I relocate them again?

And away from you?

Do you remember what I used to call
impossible coincidences

that seem to be an answer to a wish,
or something held in your heart?

- That's Godwink.
- Yeah.

So you're saying that

me seeing Patrick in the coffee shop
is a Godwink?

Both of you at the same time
ordering coffee in the same shop

in the middle of Boise
where he's visiting

and you've just moved back
after 17 years.

I guess if you put it that way.

I mean it.

I believe in these events.

You know, bumping into Margie
again and again and again.

- Hang on.
- No

you always seem to wind up
in the same place at the same time

even back then.

And now?

After being apart for 17 years
and 3,000 miles?

Pat.

People who are meant to be together
are put in each other's paths

as if they're drawn together.
Maybe that's what's happening now.

I know. It sure feels like
there's forces pushing us together

but it also feels like there's
a lot of forces pulling us apart.

Do you know
why I left Seattle for Boise?

Because you fell in love with Dad.

Yeah. But not entirely.

I love Seattle.

The outdoors
and my family, of course.

But it was my past...

and your father was my future.

Remember, he always used to say
life is a big adventure?

It was.

For a long, blessed time.

Do you remember what we told you
when you moved to Hawaii?

"Go where your heart leads you."

Dad.

Dad.

Mom called.

She's finished work one day early
and she's coming.

And we don't have any presents
for her or Grandma.

Tell your brother to get his coat.

Margie?

Pat, what're you doing here?

We're shopping for Mom and Grandma.

Pat Godfrey?

Carmen?

Carmen manages this store.

We've actually been working together
since she graduated college.

John, PJ, this is Carmen,
one of my old friends.

How many old friends do you have?

By the looks of it, a lot.

I'm not that old.

It's great seeing you, Pat.

- You too.
- And nice to meet you boys.

Happy holidays.

So, who's up for a VIP shopping trip?

I am.

Yes.

How about this one?

Do you think
your grandma would like it?

I think she'll love it.

It smells really good in here.

I'll just sneak those
into a side bag for you.

How much?

The boys do chores and volunteer
as part of their allowance

and they do work
around the neighbourhood

for spending money, so...

Thank you.

So, more shopping
or home to hide the presents?

Actually, I promised
a couple young men snowballs.

More snowball fighting?

Not that kind of snowball.
Wanna come?

Yeah.

I don't remember the last time
I had one of these.

Or six of these.

These are delicious!

I know, right?

Can we play that?

- Yeah.
- Yes!

Nice shot!

Come on, PJ.

Yes!

PJ!

Hey, I need to go
grab something real quick.

Would you mind watching
the boys for a couple seconds?

Yeah, sure. They're gonna
keep beating the pants off...

That was so good!

- Yeah.
- You got one.

The first one because
I'm taking after you guys now.

Okay, here. PJ, you take this one.

Hey.

- That's so good.
- Can I have that?

- Alright
- Alright, John, let's do this shot.

Alright.

- Dad.
- Yes?

We beat Margie two times already.

These kids could teach
a master class.

- Hey, could you take over for me?
- Yeah.

Alright, I'm gonna need to see
some power moves here

'cause you guys are champions!

Two to win it. That's one!

Could you bag that up for me?

Yes!

Margie's fun.

Tonight was a good adventure, Dad.

Yeah, it was.

Yeah!

Bye! Thanks again!

Bye, Margie.

Goodnight, bye.

I'm not going anywhere.

Hey, Pat.

Case.

Mom!

Hey, hon.

Hey, sleepy boy.

You said you were coming
in the morning.

Yeah, I wound up
driving straight through

and when I called Grandma
to tell her how close I was

she said to come now.

How about
we take you upstairs to bed?

- Is that okay?
- Yes.

Great.

There. I brought new ornaments
that we can hang tomorrow

and a few things
to tuck under the tree.

We saved you
some of Grandma's cookies.

You guys are my heroes.

Okay, have a good night.
I love you guys.

Love you too, Mom.

Love you too, Mom.

Fifteen minutes, guys. Lights out.

Love you.

Margie Southworth, huh?

Crazy, right?

Not at all. Tape.

I remember being jealous of her
when we first met.

Is that true?

Maybe we all have that one love
we never get over.

Well, we did
a pretty good job, right?

We worked hard to get here.

And the boys are doing alright

spending summers with me
and the rest of the year with you.

You've done really great
with them, you know.

They're great kids.

I got great gifts.

I can't wait to see them.

So fair warning I have spoiled
the boys with presents.

Well, if there ever was a year
to spoil them, it's this one.

It's been a big one for them.

So listen, I wanna
tell you something.

I met someone and I'd like
to introduce him to the boys

if that's okay with you.

You're more than welcome
to meet him first if you'd prefer.

He's a good guy?

He really is.

We'll go slow and
only take it serious

if the boys are okay with him,
but I think...

I think he's the one.

I'm happy for you, Case.

You should talk to Margie.

If I got a second chance at love,
you deserve one, too.

Thank you.

- Have a good night.
- You too.

Margie.

Margie?

Hi.

I'm just here to drop off
the kids' presents

and then I realized how early it was,
so I was gonna see

if the key for the garage
was in this hiding place

and now that I said that out loud
that's really weird.

Take a ride with me.

The boys will stay asleep
and my mom's got them if not.

It's still too early to go to a job.

Pat.

We need to talk.

Us winding up face to face
again and again

and your charms
following me everywhere.

There's gotta be a reason
why this is happening.

You don't happen to have hiking boots
in your car, do you?

For adventure?

I actually always have
a pair of hiking boots in my car now.

I'll get mine.

Okay.

It seems like forever ago
we were up here.

We were so young.

Practically different people.

Nice touch.

Do you ever wonder
what would have happened...

- if I had stayed?
- If I went to Hawaii?

What do you think?

I don't know. I keep
asking myself all these questions.

Yeah, me too.

- Any answers?
- Nope.

Pat...

the way I grew up...

it just it wasn't until
I met you and your family that...

I knew what it was like to...

to be really loved.

Then our lives took different paths.

I just had to think
that it wasn't my destiny.

That you weren't my destiny.

I just never expected you back.

- Sorry, I...
- You're still with someone.

- I'm sorry.
- No, I...

I never expected to be back here.

I guess this is just our thing, huh?

You and me?
Wrong place, wrong time.

Let's head back down.

Thanks so much for meeting me.

Yeah. Of course.

Thanks.

- I know it's been weird, alright?
- No, it's me.

- I've been AWOL-ing...
- Before you start

- I wanna tell you something.
- Me too.

- Scott, I...
- I'm looking for another job.

I didn't know why
corporate brought me here

but I would never try
to undermine you

- or try to take your job.
- Of course not.

- Scott, I..
- Hey, I know what this place means

to you. I don't wanna disrupt that.

No, you never...

Scott...

Wait, isn't that why you called me?

Margie.

Scott...

it's been so, so wonderful
having you in town

and getting the chance
to spend more time together

has been really...

This is about us.

Yeah.

That's the conversation
you wanted to have, isn't it?

I just thought having you close
would bring us closer.

Yeah, me too.

And it's not because of anything
you're not.

Margie.

Neither of us have ever pushed
the whole time we've been together.

Maybe that was because of distance,
but maybe it was just easier.

We're both old enough to know

that if we got this chance
and it didn't change things

then we deserve something more.

Someone who's meant to be.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But Scott, please don't leave
the company on my account.

That's the last thing I want.

I know, but if it means you get
to keep doing what you love

then I don't wanna
stand in the way of that.

Okay, listen, I have
a meeting with Willa later

and I'm sure
I'll have more information.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Hey Kelly, do you know...

Yeah, my right wrist healed that fall

and I started at spring baseball
and then I broke the other one.

And you still went into outdoor work?

Yeah, the physical therapist
got me climbing

and I built my strength
and I never looked back.

The two of you, honestly.

But it does sound like
a great career path.

Yeah, I love working
for the park district.

Well, I really should get going.

Yeah, of course.

It was great seeing you again.
Thanks for having me.

My mom is going to be so jealous.

I've been talking about
visiting Seattle for a while.

I'll call her, I promise.

I think my mom misses Seattle
more than she lets on.

Especially right now.

Well, it was really good of you
to come by.

Yeah, a nice visit isn't
the only reason why I came.

I reached out to my contacts
and one does have a job to offer.

If you're actually interested
in moving to Seattle.

And we could have each store partner
with a different local charity.

We could do it for New Year's.

Our New Year, New You campaign.

It's what this company's
always been about.

Yes, something that you've understood
since the day you started.

These are fantastic ideas, Margie.

Thanks.

I know things have been
kind of confusing lately.

Yeah. Willa, I will do
whatever it takes

to show you that I belong here.

We want that, too.

I promise you
things are going to work out.

You just have to trust me
a little while longer.

Of course.

I got nothing out of Willa.

She promised
everything was gonna be okay.

We've been friends for so long,
of course she's gonna say that.

Or her hands are tied
and you're being melodramatic.

Look, it's three days 'til Christmas.

Let's treat ourselves.
I know exactly where we should go.

Okay. I'll pick you up after work.

Okay, bye.

It's bananas to say
that we're moving here

and then to say that
we're moving somewhere else

but it's not like
we're settled in yet.

It's still a vacation.

It sounds like
a great job to me, Dad.

It is. Then we'll be closer to Mom

and Grandma will have
more good reasons

to visit the place
where she was born

but the most important thing
is that you guys are okay with it.

We go as a team or we don't go.

So I want you to be
totally honest with me.

I'm okay with it.

You said we'd like Boise
and we do.

If you think
we'll like Seattle, we will.

Wherever you are is our home.

And when Grandma comes to visit

it means she can show us
the places she liked as a kid.

I'll get Grandma and let's celebrate.

I know just the place.
Grab your coats.

- When are you telling Pat? When?
- Carm.

You climbed a hill, you held hands,
you broke up with your guy.

The only thing left is just to...

I didn't break up with Scott
to be with Pat.

No, you broke up with Scott

because seeing Pat reminded you of
what a real relationship should be.

Margie.

- Did you plan this?
- What? No.

I had no idea.

Thanks, Dad!

We'll see you in there!

Did you plan this?

Scouts honour, I had no idea.

But you can't deny this anymore, Pat.

It's a Godwink.

Margie, look at me.

How much more proof do you need

that there is a bigger plan
for the two of you?

Carmen didn't even know
we were here last night?

The boys had such a good time
last night.

- Carmen!
- Oh, my goodness.

It's so great to see you.

This is crazy.

Pat just got a job offer
so we decided to go and celebrate.

You did? That's fantastic!

Yeah, it's...

it's in Seattle.

I got a job offer in Seattle
and I took it.

So the boys and I
are gonna move out there

after the first of the year.

It sounds like
a wonderful opportunity.

It is. For the boys, for their mom,
for the kind of work I wanna do.

Yeah.

I'm really happy for you.

Margie...

what we had meant the world to me.

But I know it's in the past.

Do you remember your mom
used to talk about Godwinks?

She was talking about it
the other day.

And today.

Maybe a job in Seattle
closer to your ex...

being where your mom grew up...

maybe that's the Godwink.

Wait.

It was in front of my mom's house.

I've been finding you everywhere.

I...

I hope you build
a really beautiful life

for yourself and your boys
in Seattle.

Merry Christmas.

Where are we gonna live in Seattle?

I don't know. But I guess I'll learn
what neighbourhood my job is in

and we'll figure it out after that.

Grandma should help. She knows
all the best places to go.

I don't know about that.

I mean, it's been a while,
but I'll try.

Yeah, Grandma should come with us.

To help us find a house?

No, to live.

I don't wanna leave her.

Or her earmuffs, or her pancakes.

I don't wanna leave her, either.

I don't wanna leave her, either.

Would you consider moving to Seattle?

You wouldn't have to live
in the same house as us, of course.

We know we're loud.

But Mom, having you in Seattle
and making up for lost time...

you'd be where
you have history and friends

and we could look out for each other

- and...
- Yes.

Yes, it's a brilliant idea.

I had a brilliant idea!

Yes, you did!

Yeah!

Yeah!

You wanted to see both of us?

Yes.

I know I have been quiet
about a few things

and I wanted to apologize for that.

But I have some news.

Margie, we did bring in Scott
to train for your job.

We are promoting him

to VP of Marketing and Promotions
for the northwest region.

And Margie, there is
a reason for that.

Because we are offering you Senior VP

of Marketing and Promotions
for the entire company.

You are already at
the top of the list

and that last meeting that we had

where you brought forth
all those amazing ideas?

That only confirmed everything.

You are both getting promotions.

Now, we couldn't talk
about this earlier

because we were too busy negotiating
this current SVP's exit package.

I know it was awful
being in the dark.

I'm sorry

but I hope this makes up for it, yes?

Yeah.

Okay, good.

Okay. Wait.

Isn't SVP of Promotions and Marketing
for the whole company...

isn't that job at headquarters?

Yes. It is.

Now, we can move you up there

or we can have you
work remotely from here

and you can go a few times, Margie...

I need to go take
my lunch break right away.

But you are accepting the offer?

Yes. 100 percent, yes.

I just... I have to go tell someone
something right now.

Willa, thank you so much.

And Scott, congratulations.
This is amazing.

Did you go on
a job interview yesterday?

Boise Home Outletters. Yes or no?

You told me to.

I am un-telling you to.

Because if anyone but me asks you
to come work for them

you say "I can't.
I'm being promoted."

Excuse me?

I just got promoted to
Head of Marketing and Promotions

for all of Connor and Company.

Margie!

Which means that
you just got promoted, too.

What?

Listen, you can stay in Boise
and work from here

or you can move to headquarters

but either way
it's more responsibility.

- It's a big raise.
- That's amazing!

But Kelly, all of it is up to you.

And listen, I was wrong.

If you get to work for one company
that you love your whole career

it's a gift.

But all of it is up to you.

A new year and a new you. And me.

Okay.

- Margie?
- I got something huge to tell you.

Okay.

- It's... Let me just grab my coat.
- Okay.

I have really exciting news.

I just got a huge promotion.

- That's great.
- Okay, that's not the exciting part.

I'm really happy for you.

The promotion is at
corporate headquarters.

- Okay.
- In Seattle.

Say that again.

Pat, my company
is moving me to Seattle.

You're taking the job, right?

Of course I'm taking the job.

And I broke it off with Scott.

- But not because...
- No, but...

yeah.

I mean, Pat, if a Godwink
lands in your lap

over and over and over again
and you don't follow it...

I mean, that's what this is, right?

We're supposed to be together.

I just don't see how we could
spend one more day apart.

Do you know what this will be?

The greatest adventure in the world.

Yeah.

- Thank you.
- What could it be?

It smells like your cookies.

Delicious.

And yours is a candle
that smells like Christmas trees.

It's my favourite.

Hey, do you guys wanna take
the new sled in the snow?

I'm going to get my camera.

I'll take the back, PJ.

Yeah.

- Okay, guys.
- Wow.

- This is heavy.
- Good to have a new sled.

- Okay, mom.
- Okay, mom.

I got you something

at the Christmas market
the other night.

- What?
- I got you something

that night, too.

Do you think we did it?

Let's open them together and see.

Okay.

- One, two, three.
- One, two, three.

- A snowman.
- A snowman.

For all the fun
we're gonna keep having.

And all the adventure.

Today the real life Margie
and Pat Godfrey

still live in the Seattle area.

Their kids and grandchildren
spread across America

visit as often as possible.

A family united

the Godfreys are grateful

for the amazing Godwinks that
mysteriously directed their paths

and lifted their hopes.
