I'm so happy.

Baby, I'm in red, cause we'll happen.

So I'm hoping one just might be mine.

Oh, Paul, that's perfect.

Hey guys, can't wait for a couple.

Oh, that goes just in the back down.

That is going to come in handy.

The kids are going to love that.

This is for you.

Oh, Sergeant Wilson, hi!

The choice for eight to ten year olds go over there.

Got it, thanks Danielle.

Our Matthew and the boys so excited about the Christmas holidays.

Thanks, static.

What about Audrey?

Over the moon.

Ooh, raw?

Ooh, raw.

Sorry, I'm late.

The math teachers had a last minute gift exchange.

Oh, feels so good to be off for Christmas vacation, doesn't it?

Vacation.

We have so many toys left to collect,

and don't get me started on the toy drive party.

I don't even have a Christmas tree yet.

I don't know how I'm going to get it all done by Christmas.

Yeah, but that stuff is fun.

I mean, teaching a bunch of 17-year-olds calculus,

now that deserves combat pay.

Oh, they're here.

Let's make some Christmas magic.

Santa and his elf are in the house.

Aw, well, Pearson, I think you are missing the beard in a belly,

but we'll take it.

Merry Christmas, lady.

Merry Christmas.

Thank you so much for doing this.

You guys always come through for the kids.

Best thought about working for a toy company.

Christmas, baby.

We'll show you what we got.

Oh!

We have got the hottest new toys.

The kids are going to love them.

Oh.

This one is special for frazzled toy drive coordinators.

Stress santa?

It's perfect.

Oh, I love these things.

Oh, I'm going to make that stop.

Can't we start bringing these in for you guys?

Oh, that'd be great, Sergeant.

Thank you.

I will help track.

Perfect.

Phew.

Nice shot.

Nailed it.

Thanks, buddy.

See you next week.

Thanks, Rick.

So, what's my other favorite girl?

Oh, Audrey is caroling at the retirement home.

Right.

And are we still on for tonight?

Oh, yeah.

The tangled Christmas lights in my garage have your name all over them.

Should you choose to accept the mission?

You are looking at the master utangle.

Okay.

What about the tree?

Tomorrow.

Audrey wants you to help us pick one out of the lot.

Oh, and afterwards we're going to set up a collection booth in town square.

I want to get as many toys as possible.

It is crunch time.

Yes, and yes, and anything else you need me to say yes to.

You are the best.

Oh, and Danielle.

I was hoping maybe we could talk about some things later?

Of course.

Okay.

I'll see you later.

See you later.

I was the concert.

It was okay.

Oh, honey.

It's the start of Christmas break and you look like,

I kind of look like the Scrooge.

What's wrong?

Everything.

Oh, this calls for extra sprinkles.

Here goes sweetheart.

A girl at school said I'm weird because I'm bringing my mom to the Christmas father daughter dance.

Oh, honey.

You're not weird.

And you know, some of the dads are deployed anyway, so you won't be the only one there.

But I'm bringing my mom.

Yeah.

And your mom has got some pretty cool memories.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

But my mom has got some pretty cool news.

Mommy.

Do you think Tally would have been excited about the dance?

Oh, yeah.

You're done loved to dance.

At our wedding, he was trying to do a split and he ripped his dress blues.

No way.

No way.

I think he mostly would have been excited about this special night for just the two of you.

First thoughts, I don't remember about him.

I know.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

In the kitchen.

Did someone call the Christmas cavalry?

Yes.

Hi, Aunt Jay.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi, Pierce.

Hello.

Now I bet you dazzled him today with your amazing voice, didn't you?

That's my girl.

Okay.

Do you want to lead me to these lights?

Yes.

Can you two get started on the decorations?

Mm-hmm.

By the time we're done, Mrs. Claus herself will be jealous.

Okay.

Here we are.

Oh, boy.

They are more tingled than I remember.

Sorry.

Goodness.

Yeah, I don't worry about that.

I just hope I can do the house justice.

Hey, you've strung up five lights and I'd be happy.

Last year, I stapled my shirt to the house.

Now that's something I'd like to see.

Hey, it was my favorite shirt.

I'm sorry about your shirt.

Yeah.

Seriously, I'm more excited about this Christmas than I have been in a long time.

I'm really happy you're spending time with me.

You're spending time with me a long time.

I'm really happy you're spending it with us.

Me too.

Said you wanted to talk to me about something?

Yeah.

Okay, if we wait until later.

It might be a while, but yeah, sure.

Thank you for doing this.

My pleasure.

You're awesome.

Good luck.

It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas in here.

All we need is a tree, right, kiddo?

Hey, odd.

I have some more decorations in the kitchen.

And there might be some chocolate in there too.

Okay.

What's with Audrey?

The Christmas father daughter dance is coming up and she's upset about Colby.

She started asking me to talk to her.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm sure she's upset about Colby.

She started asking a lot of questions about him lately.

It kind of caught me off guard.

She is getting older.

She must be curious.

She wasn't even five when he died.

I can't believe that was on those three years ago.

You know, I was going to ask the hospital owes me like a month's worth of vacation days

and I'm not going to use.

Why don't we go somewhere for spring break?

You could bring Mom and Dad.

Yeah.

Oh, I see you found the chocolate reindeer.

Sure, what?

Thank you.

Remember this?

I do remember that Christmas.

How are you looking for?

The bell Colby gave me that he turned into a Christmas ornament.

Right.

It's still missing after three years.

How does an ornament randomly vanish?

Well, you do have a lot of Christmas stuff.

I'm sure it's in the house somewhere.

Every year, I think it's randomly going to turn up in one of these bins.

But it doesn't.

Okay.

Hi.

This chocolate mustache.

Guess what time it is?

Bedtime.

You have sad days.

Please go upstairs and wash your face.

We'll see you up there.

Oh, Pierce is probably freezing out there.

I'll start cleaning up.

Let him know I'll be out soon.

Here you go.

I don't want to put tonight, Mommy.

Really?

Tell me a story about Daddy.

This is a Christmas classic.

You're going to love it.

Please, tell me how you met Daddy.

Okay.

Well, it was eleven years ago at the Christmas tree lighting.

You're on base.

And I had taught here for a couple years already.

But you would never know you're surrounded by a 55,000 acre fortress.

5,000 Marines and two single ladies?

What's a girl got a do around here?

Oh, hi, Dad.

Sophia?

Merry Christmas, Danielle.

Good to see you.

Merry Christmas, General Anderson.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

I'm Major Colby Ames with the Marine Corps toy drive.

And it is my honor to flip the switch tonight.

This year we have a noble fir tree, which is considered the king of Christmas trees

because of its stiff branches that can hold a ton of lights.

Does anyone want to guess how many lights are up there?

A thousand?

Close.

Two thousand.

Are we ready?

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

One.

One.

A little technical difficulty.

I'm going to go help him.

Hi.

Do you want to check the circuit breaker and I'll go to the home?

It's kind of like one of my superpowers.

Thanks.

Hi, everyone.

Merry Christmas.

So, what do Santa's little helpers learn at school?

Anybody?

The alphabet.

That's funny, Mommy.

Well, thank you.

I thought so too, but no one was really laughing.

There was one person who got my jokes, though.

What do you call a snowman with a six pack?

The abdominal snowman's good one.

Sorry about that, folks.

I guess army engineers installed the wiring.

I'm just kidding.

Let's try this again.

I was the host one how you're telling me.

Hey, thanks for that.

I'm Colby, by the way.

Danielle.

Oh, this is my good friend, Pierce.

The new company he works for donated a bunch of toys.

That's so nice.

It's nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

I've got a run.

I'll see you at the Christmas party.

See you.

Okay.

So, can I repay you with some world-famous Marine Corps hot cocoa?

Well, if it's world-famous.

I met Daddy and Pierce that night.

They actually became really good friends because of the toy drive.

Cool.

We took this photo together about an hour after we met.

From the first time I saw your Daddy, I had butterflies in my stomach.

You ate butterflies?

No, that's when you're excited about someone or something.

Like opening presents on Christmas morning?

Exactly.

Because, you know, the best things happen at Christmas time.

My birthday?

Your birthday.

Mommy and Daddy's wedding.

Star coming into our lives.

It's a magical time of year.

Do you have any more good stories about Daddy?

They do.

I actually used to keep a journal.

Do you still have it?

Yeah.

I haven't written in it in a long time.

You know what, little lady?

It is time for you to go to bed.

Okay.

Okay.

Oh, hi.

Oh, I hope you're not too cold out here.

I am a human icicle.

But...

If I did this right, it's all going to be worth it.

Oh, thank you.

You're welcome.

Okay.

I'm just going to set this down.

Let's see.

Please work.

Okay.

Okay.

I'm going to set this down.

I'm going to set this down.

I'm going to set this down.

I'm going to set this down.

I'm going to set this down.

Please work.

Okay.

Oh, it's beautiful.

Oh, thank you so much.

Oh.

You're beautiful.

Oh.

Um, Danielle, there's something I'd like to ask you.

Okay.

Um, I know that we've only been dating nine months.

Can you believe that it's been 11 years since we first met?

I was literally just telling Audrey about that night.

Really?

Well, I've come to know you as the most incredible woman and mom.

On our best and worst days, we always managed to make each other smile.

And I want that forever.

So, um...

Oh, my gosh.

Ah, ah.

I love you, Danielle.

We marry me.

I did not expect it.

Can I talk to Audrey about it first?

Yes.

Yes.

Of course.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, my God.

Ooh!

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Audrey, honey, there's something I need to talk to you about.

The tree?

Can I pick it up myself?

Yes, you can, but it's something else.

You know how you really care about Pierce and he cares about you.

Yeah?

Well, last night he asked me to marry him.

He did?

How do you feel about that?

Um...

I guess it's okay.

He's super nice.

He is super nice.

And I know he's never going to replace Daddy, but he is going to make the best stepdad.

Hi.

Hi.

Come on in.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi, Audrey.

This is for you.

Oh.

I already have a bear.

He used to play my daddy singing silent night, but it broke.

Colby got it for her so that she could hear his voice when he was deployed.

Sorry.

Well, maybe your daddy's bear could use a friend.

Well, my bear does count lonely when I'm at school.

I'm Audrey.

Um...

I just want you to know how special you and your mom are to me.

And then I will always be here for the both of you, okay?

Yeah.

Why don't you go upstairs and introduce your bears?

Okay.

She is taking all of this better than I thought.

So...

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

So...

What does that mean?

Right.

Yes.

The answer is yes.

Yes.

Oh.

Oh.

I'm glad I brought this.

I'm here to make it official.

Yeah.

It's just so beautiful.

Wow.

There's so many trees.

Which one do we pick?

I don't know.

Can I help you?

Yes.

We want something big.

Like the biggest tree you got, right, Audrey?

Biggie hat.

You're lucky day.

We got in a small shipment of what we like to call in the business,

the king of Christmas trees.

Follow me.

Mommy, is it not what daddy caught the tree in your story?

Yes.

That is honey.

Hey girls, over here.

Let's go.

What do you think of this one?

I love it.

How about you, Danielle?

It's old.

Let's get this one home.

A death of the holes with thousands of honey.

Tell you this is a doobie story.

I love the land.

I love the land.

I love the land.

I love the land.

Isn't to be joined by the land of the land of the sun,

now a pair of pailas, a la la la la la la.

Throw the agent you can't count.

Come along, come along, come along.

See the amazing you people.

They see for you.

Oh, Merry Christmas.

Thank you for joining the Marine Corps Toy Drive.

I still can't believe you two are engaged.

Let me see the ring again.

Oh.

Come on.

Hey.

Oh, nice work.

I'm so happy for you too.

Thank you, Sofia.

I'm a very lucky man.

Oh, thank you.

Merry Christmas.

Thank you, Merry Christmas.

Mommy, can I get a Christmas cookie from the bakery?

Sure, honey.

I'll take her.

I'm dying from one of those gingerbread lattes.

Do you guys want one?

Uh, I'm good.

Thank you.

I'm okay.

Okay, let's go.

Okay.

Oh, thank you.

She's a happy holiday.

I'm happy, Mommy.

I'm happy, Mommy.

I'm happy.

I'm happy, Mommy.

Any help?

Are you okay?

No, I know.

Just a lot of happy holiday faces.

We should get home and decorate the tree.

Okay.

Sure.

Sure.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And now, for the best Christmas,

the star.

Will you do the honors for us, Audrey?

Okay.

You're gonna lift you out.

Ready?

One, two, three.

Look.

Here we go.

Oh.

The perfect tree.

It's not.

Why, honey?

We're still missing Daddy's ornament.

Did you find that, Mommy?

No.

What do I have?

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not.

Mommy?

No.

No, I haven't.

What does it look like?

Maybe I can help.

It's a little gold bell with a red ribbon.

Colby gave it to me.

We've been looking everywhere, but I don't think we're gonna find it.

You know what?

It is time for you to put on your PJs and brush your teeth.

See you upstairs.

Um, Pierce.

If Mommy says it's okay,

can you take me to the Christmas dance?

I am more than okay with this.

You know what?

Pierce is a better dancer than I am anyway.

I would absolutely love that.

Thank you, Audrey.

You're welcome.

Okay.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

She just made my Christmas.

I think you made hers too.

Seriously though, it is gonna be three hours of boy bands and tween girls.

Bring it on.

They ain't seen nothing like me.

Tell me a story.

Well, I got a new book.

An elf and a fairy saved Christmas with their magical powers.

How can you resist?

Daddy, tell me about his ornament.

Why do you make it?

All right.

It was Christmas morning.

It was Christmas morning about a year after we met.

Oh, I love it.

Okay.

Here is your last one.

All right, official first date.

Look at us.

It's the best day of my life meeting you.

Mind you.

I have one more thing.

It's not really a presence, more of a commitment.

No.

Oh my God.

Oh my God.

Oh my God.

Oh my God.

Oh my God.

I'm gonna tell you if you keep your company wherever more way.

Oh boy, I love you so much already.

There's one more thing.

It's on its collar.

But are you serious?

Danielle, I have never loved anyone the way I love you.

I was always that Marine who wasn't afraid to die and then I met you

and you give me reason to want to make it home.

But I know it's a lot to ask to be with me this military life.

Be hard, and if it's too much, I totally understand.

No, no.

There are no guarantees in life.

Sometimes the best things come from the biggest risks.

And yet my mom always said, to follow my heart,

my entire heart is with you.

Well, we met just before Christmas,

so this felt like the perfect day to ask.

Because I want to spend every Christmas with you

for the rest of my life.

Daniel Randall, will you marry me?

Yes.

I can't wait to tell everybody we're engaged.

I know that we have a puppy.

Oh, yes, we've got a puppy.

And he's a name.

Oh, my goodness, you're a name.

Yeah, ow.

What about star?

Star.

It's perfect.

Star.

Huh?

Do you know that?

Our first Christmas one went together.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Come on.

Come on, we're gay.

It's daddy watching over us.

Always, honey.

Always.

Um, so we know I didn't brush my teeth.

Oh, you better get in that bathroom and brush those teeth.

LAUGHTER

What's that?

Well, either Santa's reindeer hiding in the closet

or star pet in the Christmas ornaments again.

Star.

Star, come here, boy.

Star.

Come here, boy.

Come here.

Mommy, the ornaments.

Yeah, it is.

It must have been under the couch.

Which is weird, because I've looked under there a million

times.

MUSIC

What am I doing?

And this badge is going to Grace Community Church.

Thank you so much.

I come bearing inspiration.

I think you are going to look great in a strapless dress this

time.

Thank you.

Maybe you'd prefer I run out and get some golf magazines?

Sure, yeah.

Danielle.

What is going on?

Can I ask you something?

Do you believe in signs?

Things written in the stars kind of signs?

Like, someone or something is trying to send you a message.

Uh, OK.

I think we're talking in code now.

Do you want to tell me what's going on there, Nancy Drew?

Yeah.

I started telling Audrey these stories about Colby before bed.

And the first one I told her was about the night we met at the

Christmas tree lighting.

How was such a fun night?

Your jokes were so bad.

Sorry, I'm listening.

Well, yesterday at the Christmas tree lot, the guy said

King of Trees.

You remember Colby said that.

And?

And later I saw a guy who looked just like him in his

forced recon jacket.

Well, it was a military town, Danielle.

OK, so how about this one?

Last night I told you the story about how Colby proposed me

with that ornament.

What's been missing for three years?

Sorry I found it this morning.

Why are all of these strange things happening?

They're called coincidences.

This is going to sound crazy, but I feel Colby's presence.

It's like he's all around me.

OK, look, I don't need to psycho-analyze, but you did just

get engaged.

Maybe you're feeling a little guilt on some level.

You're betraying Colby, even though you are not, of course.

Maybe.

And it's Christmas.

A lot of big things in your life have happened around the

holidays.

True.

Colby, he was her first love.

He's always going to be a part of you.

You are allowed to be happy again.

I know you're right.

Of course I am right.

OK, you are going to focus on Pierce and the future.

OK, not some weird signs and things you can't control.

It's Christmas.

Enjoy this time.

Well, that's a really good snowman.

Can we have these on the tree?

The more on them, it's the better.

Since we have a noble for, we can hang as many as we want,

just like Daddy said.

Hey, Audrey, have you decided what you're going to wear to

the dance yet?

Mommy bought me a new dress.

Well, I'm going to wear a red and green tie with little

dancing santazana.

Cool.

Come on, Auntie Jane, let's go hang these up.

Yeah, let's put these on the tree.

MUSIC

Is everything OK?

This is kind of hard to talk to you about,

but I always want us to be open.

Of course.

Um, a lot of memories of Colby have been popping up

lately, and I guess maybe it's because of our engagement

and Audrey's curiosity.

I'm sorry, this is probably the last thing you want to hear about.

No, no, no.

I miss Colby, too.

I can only imagine when you must be feeling right now.

You know that you can talk to me about him any time.

That is so sweet, and I will.

But right now, I want to focus on us.

We're engaged.

Right.

You're my fiance.

I think that's the first time I said that out loud.

Have you thought about a date?

Yeah.

Oh, gosh.

No.

You should also talk about where we're going to live,

because my condo is too small, and we

need to find a good school district for Audrey.

I hope it's OK.

I actually talked to a realtor friend of mine the other day.

Already?

Too soon.

No, no.

I just hadn't thought about moving off base.

But it makes sense.

We shouldn't move once we're married.

It's OK.

We do not have to make any of these decisions today.

Yeah.

Maybe we just make it through the holidays.

You're right.

And you know me.

If you'll let me, I'll have her retirement

mapped out before New Year's.

You're OK with Florida, right?

I'm just kidding.

That was a joke.

I'm sorry.

Oh, my god.

Oh, my god.

Good.

Who's this, Mommy?

Oh, our wedding photo.

That is Jenny.

She was the flower girl at our wedding.

She's the daughter of one of Daddy's friends from his unit.

She's pretty.

Mm-hmm.

Well, she'd be a teenager by now.

I haven't seen her, Mommy's son years.

I wish I was at your wedding.

What was it like?

Do you have any market stories?

It was a very cold Christmas Eve.

OK.

Ready, honey?

Come on.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

She's a little nervous.

Oh.

You know what?

I'm feeling a little nervous, too.

Do you think you could help me?

Yeah, we could be brave together.

Yeah.

Thank you.

I say let's do this.

You look amazing.

From that first night I met you when you rescued me, I saw a light inside you that has never

dimmed.

And on this Christmas Eve, I will keep my promise of a lifetime of Christmases together.

I will always come home to you, Daniel.

And I promised to always laugh at your jokes.

Hire.

Who would have thought that a short circuit would have led to a love like this?

I cannot wait to walk through this life with you Colby Ames.

Are you and Pierce going to have a wedding?

Yeah, sure.

It'll probably be small.

That sounds boring.

Are you sure you're not turning 18?

Let's get you into bed.

A glass of wine.

Do you even have to ask?

Oh, yes, not.

This is the first time we've actually got to talk since your big news.

How you feeling?

Good.

A little overwhelmed.

Pierce just brought a real estate.

Well, that's big.

Are you ready to move?

He's right.

I mean, if we get married, we have to move off base.

And I was just a little worried about uprooting Audrey's life.

Not to mention the fact that after all these years, I still haven't packed up all of Colby's

things.

Do you love Pierce?

I do.

Oh.

Danielle.

Lisa?

Oh.

Everyone go, Mrs.

I am so so proud to see you here.

It's amazing we haven't run into each other sooner.

You remember Jenny? She's all grown up now.

Yes, of course. Hi.

Hey. I was just telling Audrey about our wedding last night

and how you were the cutest flower girl.

But look at you now. You're so beautiful.

Thank you. I mean, I don't really remember it,

but I've seen the pictures.

Jenny, would you mind helping Henry with this?

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

Jenny, would you mind helping Henry with the drinks?

Can you stand for a minute?

Oh, sure.

How's Audrey doing?

Oh, she's great.

She turns eight tomorrow.

But she still wants to see Santa today, so I haven't lost her yet.

Oh, sweet.

Are you still teaching a bass?

Yeah, and I'm co-chairing the toy drive with Sophia again this year.

You should come out with her wives group.

We miss you.

Yeah. I know. I'm sorry. I haven't been around.

It's just too painful to see everybody.

Well, we all handle grief differently.

But think about it.

We have dinners and book club.

We do things with the kids sometimes, too.

It's been hard for them, with other dads.

Audrey has been asking a lot of questions about Colby lately.

I get it.

Jenny talks about Doug constantly.

I try to keep his memory alive as best I can.

And Henry's been a great father figure to her.

So...

Henry?

Yeah, sorry. My husband.

I got married.

Why? It was wonderful.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Henry, this is Danielle.

Her husband was in Dux unit.

It's nice to meet you.

You, too.

Congratulations.

Thanks.

See, four months ago on the beach at sunset.

It was small, but sweet.

Hi.

Sorry, it took me so long to find a parking spot.

The Christmas rush is on, people.

It is pure madness out there.

Pierce, this is Henry.

And you might remember Lisa and Jenny from my wedding.

Yes, yes, of course.

Hi.

These two just got married.

Congratulations.

Thanks.

Oh, wait.

Are you two?

Engaged.

Yes.

Yes.

So, so new.

Just happened the other day.

So, this is great news.

So, when's the big day?

Or is it too soon?

We haven't decided yet.

Yeah.

Well, you know, it took us the longest time to get settled on a date when we got engaged.

Really?

It's a big moment, so, you know, we took our time with it.

Oh, a few of the families are coming over for annual s'mores and movie night tonight.

We're going to watch some Christmas classics.

Are you free?

We can go and I get off work.

Do you want?

Yeah.

Yeah, okay, sounds good.

Hey, don't say anything.

But I think the boss wants to do a surprise engagement party.

What?

Seriously?

Yeah.

When?

Oh, sometime in the new year.

He wants this place to be one big happy family, you know?

Yeah.

That's great.

But you know how I feel about surprises.

That's what I'm telling you.

It's like, like, you don't know.

Okay.

I'll do my best.

Come on, Pierce.

You deserve the celebrate.

I'm going to get a little bit of a hug.

Pierce.

You deserve the celebrate.

Hey, we finally met the world.

If our half is happy as you and Susan, it'll be a good life.

It's going to be a great life.

Yeah.

I hope so.

Everything's good, right?

Yeah.

It's just...

It's a little complicated, you know?

It's Colby.

On a minute, I think she's over him.

The next minute, it feels like he might as always standing right next to me.

We met one of our old friends today.

They should even tell her that we were engaged.

I just thought she'd be more excited.

It's the holidays, right?

Everybody's got a million things going on in their money.

Yeah, you're right.

You're right.

I'm actually going to meet some of our old friends tonight,

so I'm looking forward to that.

See?

Yeah.

Look, buddy, focus on having a good Christmas together.

That was a family.

Thanks, man.

That looks really good.

You want to treat it?

Ahhh!

Can I have a Christmas?

I'm going to tell her.

I don't know where we're from.

I'm going to get a plus friend.

We'll save your spot.

That's how the shopping go.

Oh, I got the most adorable little red sparkly boots with clothes for Audrey.

Oh, too cute.

They ran until Lisa Johnson today.

Lisa, that's a name from the past.

How's she doing?

Great.

She just got married.

Good for her.

She must have been so happy about your engagement.

She was.

It was a little awkward.

Why?

I forgot to tell her about it at first, and then she saw my ring in front of Pierce.

I think he was a little hurt that I hadn't mentioned it earlier.

Why didn't you say anything?

I think maybe it was a little thrown off by running into Lisa,

so I was just telling Audrey last night about her,

and then she shows up at the coffee shop today, out of the blue.

Lisa lives in town, doesn't she?

Yeah, but I haven't seen her since the funeral.

What are the odds?

Danny, this isn't another sign, is it?

I don't know what's happening to me.

She might be worried.

I'm just confused.

Hey, you should talk to Lisa.

If anyone can understand what you're going through, it's her.

She did invite me to a s'mores in movie night with some of the families tonight.

You should go.

I am.

We are.

Pierce actually said yes before I had a chance to respond.

Well, he did you a favor.

My turn.

Oh, oh, Merry Christmas.

Just don't put the brakes in the future.

It's our sugar past.

What's your name?

Audrey, I'm turning eight tomorrow.

Happy birthday.

Now, what do you want for Christmas?

Can you make my bear sing again with my daddy's voice?

That might be tough.

We'll do the best we can.

Audrey, honey, why don't we get going?

There are other kids in mind.

Thank you, Santa.

I'm so glad you made it.

Hi.

Hi, Pierce.

Hi.

Merry Christmas, Audrey.

Merry Christmas.

Audrey, this is Mrs. Johnson.

Her daughter was the flower girl mommy's wedding photo that I showed you.

I heard someone's birthday tomorrow.

Oh, that's double the December presents.

Why don't you like these?

Come on, Audrey.

Let's go get the stuff you were some more.

Have you ever tried them in peppermint?

Oh, wow.

This is really nice.

I'm glad we came.

Yeah, this is great.

I'm really looking forward to making our own traditions.

You know what?

Let's go ahead and pick a date.

June weddings always look so perfect in magazines.

Okay.

June, it is, then.

And let's talk to your real estate friend.

We can start looking at some places.

Okay, now that calls for some mulled wine.

Wow, you just tried it.

This is great to go.

Okay, everyone.

It's movie time.

Come here.

I don't think it's a song.

Ready?

No.

This is going to be so much fun.

Hi.

Hey.

Can I ask you a quick question?

Mm-hmm.

Here, have a seat.

Um...

Was it hard for you to say yes to Henry with everything you've been through?

Yeah.

It was hard just to say yes to coffee.

Everything reminded me of Duck.

I'd smell his cologne.

I'd see his face in every marine.

I felt like I was betraying him somehow.

That's kind of how I've been feeling.

It's part of the process when you lose someone.

Henry and I actually met at a support group.

He lost his wife and we were going through a lot of the same things.

Wow.

Pearson and I decided to pick a date and I want to be more excited about it.

But I feel like something's holding me back.

I get it.

The first time I saw a dog in uniform,

I thought my heart was going to leap out of my chest.

The world stopped.

I love Henry.

It's just different.

He's a good man.

He's a great father.

And he's an accountant.

He comes home every night.

That is definitely a part of that.

And getting your taxes done for free.

Oh, so true.

I think the challenge to finding love again is realizing that no two relationships are the same.

I'm so glad you said that.

Because sometimes I feel like I'm two different people.

One person with Colby and another one with Pierce.

This is why you need to come out the wives again.

We talk about all this stuff.

Maybe I should.

Listen, everything you're feeling is completely normal.

Enjoy your engagement.

Pierce's catch.

Okay.

Pop in there, kiddo.

Hi, star.

Okay, bud.

Let's lay down.

Good boy.

Oh, thank you.

All right.

There we go.

It's your big birthday party tomorrow.

You excited?

So excited.

What time was I born at?

Well, you were born at 11.55 a.m.

Can you tell me more about that, T?

Well, it was almost Christmas.

You were early.

And mommy was not ready.

Good morning.

Let's take a look at your forecast.

We can expect up to 18 inches of snow approaching the all-time record for Virginia.

Folks, this could leave us with a blanket of the white stuff that could last until Christmas.

So you just hear that?

Colby's playing supposed to land any minute.

They're the military.

I'm sure they can land anywhere.

Okay, please tell me that's too many Christmas cookies and not a contraction.

I don't know.

I've never done this before.

I'm going to drive you to the hospital.

No, you were a terrible driver of the snow.

I won't take that personally.

Jane, I think my water just broke.

Okay, I'm going to call the ambulance.

Hello?

My sister is in labor.

I need an ambulance to 4843 Flag Top Drive on base.

Come on.

I understand.

Please hurry.

They're coming as fast as possible, but the roads are really bad.

Oh, man.

Call Colby.

Hello?

Colby.

Did you land?

I can't hear you.

Did you land?

Yes, Jane.

Danielle, okay?

She's having the baby.

She had the baby?

Colby!

It's happening.

My water broke.

Don't worry.

I'm coming to you.

I'll get you to the hospital.

Where's the ambulance?

I don't know.

Where's Colby?

It's still as the stops.

It's Colby.

I'm here.

Let's go.

Come on.

Oh, we're so happy to see you.

Look at her.

We've never seen anything so perfect.

She's us.

Beautiful like her mother.

You shouldn't like her, Daddy.

Thank goodness she waited.

He'll be our first Christmas together as a family.

Your Daddy was always saving the day.

He could get out of any jam.

Mommy?

Yes.

Sorry, honey.

I was just thinking about all the things I have to do for your birthday party tomorrow.

You better get some sleep.

Volley's sleep.

Now.

Good to have you.

And the weather is next.

Sometimes we in the weather business get things wrong.

This snowstorm seems to have come out of nowhere.

I get this.

It'll disappear just as fast as it came.

What is happening?

Oh, my God.

She's up there.

She's up there.

She's up all the way.

Oh, my God.

She's up there.

I get a little one.

It's so fast.

She's up there.

She's up there.

She's up there.

She's up there.

She's up all the way.

All the fun in the snow.

All the fun in the snow.

All right.

Snowshoot them.

Who's up?

Everybody.

Who was ready to decorate some cookies?

All right.

Count the candles wearing a jingle bell.

I'll wait.

Okay.

It's perfect.

Thank you.

Do you have candles?

Yes.

Like 16 candles.

Danielle, you're a million miles away again.

What's going on?

Sorry.

I was just thinking about it.

I was just thinking about the snow storm this morning.

Yeah.

What about it?

Oh, we live in Virginia.

We hardly ever get weather like this in December.

It's winter.

These things happen.

I know.

Last night, Audrey and I were talking about the day she was born.

Do you remember how bad the weather was that day?

You almost didn't make it to the hospital one time.

Where are you going with this?

Don't you think it's strange?

Of all days today, all this snow.

It's like the universe or Colby is speaking to me.

I'm saying what?

Exactly.

Has it ever bothered you that they found every marine in Colby's unit except him?

Because it bothers me.

Sweetie.

Please don't go down this road again.

You're doing so well.

I just want to try enclosure.

You know, like the other families.

Not knowing where Colby is still.

Look, I can't even pretend to understand how hard this is for you.

But we know he's not alive.

Ooh.

But if he's trying to tell me something...

Like he's still alive, Daniel?

So let's say he did survive the actual crash.

What happened next?

They went down in the Gulf of Aden.

That's bigger than the state of Florida.

Well, we've all seen Castaway.

He survived.

That was a movie, Daniel.

People don't actually survive in deserted islands talking to basketballs in real life.

It was a falling ball.

Why don't you go speak to my dad again?

What did he say back when it happened?

He told me everything you could.

Talk to him again.

He doesn't even entire military base to run, not deal with my problems.

He is in charge of a thousand Marines.

He's heard it all before, okay?

And besides, you're like family.

Maybe it could help.

Right.

It's almost time.

He's a genius man.

I think I had someone to cover for me at the hospital and would miss this for the world.

It's like perfect timing.

Are you ready?

Yeah.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday dear Audrey.

Happy birthday to you.

Go, go, go.

Last one.

One more, one more.

Yeah.

Okay, Audrey.

Before I go, I have one more gift.

Okay? Close your eyes.

Oh, do not look.

Okay, open it.

Wow.

What's beautiful?

It's blue Topaz.

It's your birthstone.

Brilliant icy blue.

I love it.

Can I put it on you?

Here, let me help, honey.

There you go.

Oh, wow.

Let me see.

Oh.

That makes so good.

Why don't you go wash up?

I'll be right behind you.

Oh.

Oh.

That was so thoughtful of you.

You know what?

I actually had a lot of fun shopping for her.

Hey, um, what were you and Sophia talking about earlier?

When?

In the hallway when she brought the cake.

Seemed a little intense.

Right.

Remember I told you about all the memories

and things I've been going through lately.

Yeah.

Things have been happening.

Like signs or something.

Maybe it's because of Christmas or because Audrey's been asking more questions about her dad.

It's got me out of sorts.

And I am so sorry.

It's not fair to you.

You know, that's okay.

How could I help?

I love that you're always here for me.

Right now, I know it's a lot to ask,

but maybe just if you can have some patience with me.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm going to go talk to General Anderson about the crash.

Is there something new?

I don't know.

I haven't checked in with him in a while.

Since they never found Colby, I thought I would ask some questions, get an update.

Oh.

Okay.

Danielle, are we okay?

Yeah.

I think so.

I mean, yes.

Hey, of course.

It's just something I need to do for myself.

Thank you.

Of course.

Only five more days till Christmas.

Daddy bought me this bear for my birthday, didn't he?

Yeah, he did.

He sat right in that chair and recorded Silent Night.

Why is this my bear playing anymore?

Probably because we played it too much.

Well, maybe it just needs new batteries.

I already tried that, but I'll try again.

You know what?

Why don't I sing to you tonight?

Okay.

Silent Night.

Only night.

All is calm.

All is bright.

Round the unburgeon.

Mother and child.

I will eat your work.

And why am I talking to a bear?

Thank you.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas, General.

Have a seat.

It's nice to have someone to talk to who doesn't have to salute me.

I hear you got engaged to Pierce Hammond.

Oh.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

It went to the big day.

Next June, we think.

Audrey and I are going to be moving off base.

You'll keep teaching for us though, right?

I'm still sorting things out.

I hope so.

Sophia says you have questions about Colby's incident.

I do.

I may ask why the question is now.

It's been over three years.

I'm sure Audrey has her Christmas father daughter dance coming up and it's brought up a lot of discussions.

I'm sure it is.

Sir, I remember the day you pulled into our driveway like it was yesterday.

I admired your strength.

Thank you.

I tried for Audrey.

When it happened, I was so full of grief.

It was all I could do to keep my head above water.

I was not thinking clearly at all.

So could you please describe to me again exactly what happened?

Well, it was nighttime when a surface-dearer missile hit the aircraft over the Gulf of Aiden.

Nine men from the unit and two pilots were found strapped in their seats.

Colby was not in the plane issue now.

Is it at all possible he was captured?

The insurgents publicly claimed responsibility for all of the deaths.

Maybe they didn't know Colby was there.

What if he swam to safety somehow?

The aircraft was found miles offshore.

I mean, the most likely outcome said he was swept into the open water.

I thought I thought I was okay about Colby's passing, but I don't know.

Something doesn't feel right.

Daniel, I'm sorry, but every piece of intelligence tells us that Colby's gone.

So why the military officially declared him dead?

Colby was a hero.

Embrace the good memories you had with him.

Then share those with Audrey.

I think this is exactly what I needed to hear.

There's my girl.

I started him.

Hey, Mom.

What?

I did not think this place could get more festive.

We aimed place?

How'd it go with my dad?

Good.

It was stuff I had heard before, but he really helped put it into perspective.

I'm so happy to hear that.

So we're done with the cosmic Christmas?

Yes.

Like you said, coincidences.

Mommy, I wrapped so many toys.

Nice.

Do you have fun with Sophia?

Wait a minute.

Let me guess.

Candy canes, candy canes, and more candy canes.

That is classified information.

It's also a tongue twister.

Yup.

Can Sophia come over tonight?

Oh, I actually have a date.

Who is the lucky fella?

You know the football coach at school?

His brother.

That's a random connection.

Let's hope it's a love connection.

He's taking me to an ugly Christmas sweater party with his friends.

And if it goes that, I'm going to text you the code,

we're jingle, and you're going to call me right away with something very important you need my help with.

You now have this into that.

You, my dear, are going to stay home with Auntie Jane because Mommy is going to Pierce's holiday work party.

Yay!

Oh, well, don't miss me too much.

So I told your dad how we're going to be leaving the base.

I'm not Pierce's arty looking for houses.

I'm in a new school for Audrey.

Wait, you're not going to keep her at the base school?

It feels like we need a fresh start.

You're still going to teach here, right?

And the toy drive?

There are so many memories here.

I think we need to move forward.

You love the school.

And you've made such an impact on the kids and the community.

Maybe I can do that with new kids.

I need a new place to volunteer.

Yeah.

We are so excited for you too.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

I'm a very lucky man.

Oh, yes.

Pierce's good taste, doesn't he?

So where's the honeymoon?

Best part about getting married?

We have not figured that out yet.

I've been looking at some beach destinations actually.

Nothing better than relaxing on a beach for the good book, right?

So, thank you for another great year.

From the designers to the sales team, you're the best in the business.

And we should be so proud of how much this company has grown.

Whoo!

I can't leave you without one of my signature Christmas jokes.

Oh boy.

What did the gingerbread man put on his bed?

A cookie sheet.

We have a winner.

Pierce, she's a keeper.

Alright, everyone have a great night.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

I'm sorry, these jokes are so annoying.

Thank you for indulging in this.

I actually thought it was kind of funny.

I knew what I'm going to go use the restroom.

Sure.

I'll get a snoojour.

Okay.

Two more of those.

Well, Danielle, may you live here with the boss?

Yeah.

Everything okay?

I think so.

I don't know.

I should wait to see General Anderson again today.

Because he can deal with a lot of coldy stuff.

Like what?

Questions about his death?

I think a lot of it is coming from Audrey,

which is stirring up a lot of old feelings for Danielle.

Any concern that's cold for cold feet?

To be honest, I was worried about that.

Then Danielle just picked a wedding date

and she said she wanted to look for houses together.

What do you mean?

That's great.

Sounds like everything's on track.

Yeah.

Yeah, you're right.

Yeah.

You know what I've been meaning to ask here?

If you would be my best man.

Seriously?

Yeah.

Yes.

Awesome, babe.

Thanks, man.

Did I just hear best man?

You're looking at him.

That's awesome, thanks, Rick.

Anything for this guy?

Oh, actually, it's so hard for you to get going.

There's a couple people I'd like you to meet, actually.

Well, I told Audrey I'd be home in time to put out a bed.

And I just got a text from Sophia.

She wants me to rescue her from the state she's on.

I think it's kind of a 9-1-1 situation.

Ooh, that bad, huh?

I am so glad I'm not in the dating scene anymore.

Who are you telling?

When Susan and I were dating, it was all flowers and candy.

Now you need a million dating apps for every move, right?

Thank you for taking me out of my misery.

I would never last.

Okay, let's get you home.

Oh, great.

Well, good seeing you, David.

Oh, you too.

All right.

Good night.

Good night.

I will see you tomorrow, last day before Christmas break.

Cannot wait.

Thank you for a fun evening.

Danielle, we do not have to go to the beach for our honeymoon.

I should have checked with you.

I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

The beach is relaxing, like you said.

And I could use more of that.

You know, having second thoughts, are you?

About the vacation?

No.

No.

About getting married.

No.

I haven't told you how grateful I am for you.

How wonderful you are.

Not thankful I am even gone running.

All my baggage.

You are more than worth it.

Thank you.

I've been so wrapped up in my own stuff.

I haven't asked how you're doing.

And what?

Feeling a lot better now.

I love you, Danielle.

I love you, Danielle.

I love you, Danielle.

I love you too.

Good night.

Good night.

Hi, honey.

It seems like you and Auntie Jane had fun tonight.

Mommy, it was the last time you saw Daddy.

Oh, honey.

It's late.

We can talk about it tomorrow, okay?

Please, Mommy.

Okay.

Oh, that...

He was on that last mission overseas.

When he called me.

We're flying to a new location tonight.

You safe, okay?

Always.

I want you and Audrey to know how much I love you.

I love you so much.

Can't wait for you to get home.

I love something for you.

I don't find you to do that.

You.

Colby?

Colby, you.

What was it, Mommy?

I don't know, honey.

I've replayed that conversation in my head so many times.

I remember when Daddy left.

I asked him for a baby brother or sister.

He told me yes.

And then he said he would move Heaven and Earth to come home to us.

Maybe he's still trying, Mommy.

Daddy will always be with us.

But right now, let's you and I focus on what a great Christmas we're going to have.

Because before you know it, it's going to be Christmas Eve.

And guess who's going to be here?

Santa Claus!

Yes!

Okay, you.

Have fun.

Good night, honey.

Good night.

Hello. Thank you.

Audrey told me you've been telling her bedtime stories about Colby.

Yeah.

I was really struggling with it at first.

But now it's easier.

I actually just told her about the last time I saw Colby.

I remember how every time he deployed he told me that if he didn't make it home he was okay if I moved on.

Yeah.

Must have been so hard for him to say that to you.

Do you think he would approve of me and Pierce?

Definitely.

Colby would have wanted you to be with someone that treats you like gold.

And he does.

It's just that with Colby I never had any doubt.

I didn't know you were struggling so much.

Honestly, I have been feeling a little crazy lately.

You're the most rational person I know.

And if you're feeling something it's for a good reason.

Thank you.

You might have like a quick walk.

Go for a long walk.

Clear your head.

I never stopped loving you.

I can feel you here with me.

It was almost like that first night we met.

I hope you're okay with me marrying Pierce.

It's just that's hard for me because it feels like I'm saying goodbye to you.

It makes us feel so final.

Together at Christmas.

Together at Christmas.

Together at Christmas.

Together at Christmas.

Together at Christmas.

Together at Christmas.

Oh my Christmas.

Look who we distributed 10,000 toys this year.

You and Sophia have really outdone yourselves.

Oh, thank you.

It's because we have the most incredible volunteers.

General, I want to thank you for being there for me yesterday.

Anytime.

You always be a part of the Marine Corps family.

Amazing job.

Thank you.

Great to be back.

It's been so wonderful seeing everybody.

I did not realize how much I missed you all.

Thank you for the impromptu therapy session.

No, I'm always here to talk.

And you're doing great.

Hey, you mentioned a club.

I think I need to read more.

Would you let me know when the next one is?

I'd be happy to.

Merry Christmas to you.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

You all came out so beautifully.

We make a good team.

We do.

I'm going to miss seeing you every day if you leave this place.

I haven't decided what I'm going to do yet, but if I do go,

we miss each other all the time, okay?

Do you promise?

Promise.

So thanks to all of you and this amazing community.

We've helped thousands of families have a special Christmas this year.

APPLAUSE

And before I go,

as I look around this room,

I'm reminded what Christmas is all about.

Family, friends,

my husband once promised me a lifetime of Christmases.

But the truth is none of us know what tomorrow will bring.

So we should embrace the past.

But being truly present and in the moment with the people you love the most,

that's the greatest present of all.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

APPLAUSE

Hi. Happy holidays.

Hi.

I'm going to head out.

Do you want to grab dinner?

You know, I've got a few presents left to wrap, so a rain check.

You want to grab coffee at our spot tomorrow morning?

Sounds good.

Mommy, I'm hungry.

That's because sugar is a no-truck food group.

See you tomorrow morning.

Yeah.

Bye, here.

MUSIC

We're my journal.

What is this?

Danielle, I'm writing this note,

hoping it will be a nice surprise one night when you're missing me.

Even though I'm thousands of miles away,

I'm always thinking of you and Audrey.

I remember what you said today I've proposed.

Follow your heart.

Best decision I ever made.

Give Audrey a big kiss.

I'll deliver your kiss in person.

Love always.

Colby.

I think I found what Colby left me.

Really?

A note in my journal.

Somehow I got mixed up with his things when he died.

What did it say?

To follow my heart.

And where is your heart leading you?

Good question.

Why does life have to be so hard sometimes?

You'll make the right decision.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

Beautiful as always.

Oh.

I got your favorite.

Thank you.

Danielle, there's something.

I'm sorry, you go first.

No, no, please.

I've been thinking about what we both want.

You know, I'm dreaming of the perfect house and,

you know, I'm not sure.

You know, I'm dreaming of the perfect house and planning for retirement.

Whereas I'm not even sure you're ready to leave the base.

I wonder if we're in two different places in our lives.

I am wondering the same thing.

Piers up.

I want you to know I wouldn't trade what we've had for anything.

Without your friendship, your love over these past few years,

I honestly don't know how I would have made it through.

I am forever grateful.

We're going to be in friends, aren't we?

It's easy to see why we thought we could be more.

I'm sorry.

Don't be sorry for being you.

And I won't be for being me.

I just, I want to be with somebody who wants to shout from the rooftops that we are in love.

And you deserve that.

Did you still want me to take Audrey to the father-daughter Christmas dance if it's not too awkward?

Thank you.

Really?

But I think I need to take her myself.

But I hope you'll still stay a part of our lives.

Audrey, of course, adores you.

Me too.

You're not going to get rid of me, Daddy, so...

Odds?

What's going on?

I don't want to go to the lids tonight.

Oh, honey.

I know it's been tough lately.

We've been finally talking about your daddy, but we should have been doing that all along.

That's mommy's fault.

I was trying to push the pain away by pretending it wasn't there.

And I realized now that wasn't right.

And I have you to think for that.

Really?

Honey, there's something else I want to talk to you about.

Peers and I are not going to get married anymore.

Why? I like peers.

I do too.

And he cares about you so much, he always will.

So does that mean I don't have to go to dance?

I think we should go like we planned, together.

But what if the girl I told you about says I'm weird?

What kind of person is she?

Not a very nice one.

Exactly.

You and I are going to march through this world together, holding hands.

I am going to be with you every step of the way.

And if I have to tell you a bedtime story about your daddy, every night until you graduate for college, I will.

So what do you say?

Yes.

You ready to put your dance shoes on?

Yeah.

Oh.

So we're looking at a white Christmas.

Folks, I'll have more on the falling temperatures later in the hour.

Back to you, Scott.

The dance is on.

Yay.

Great.

The local operations team has infiltrated an enemy compound in Yemen.

We are getting word that several prisoners have been rescued in the mission.

We'll bring you the latest details as they come into the newsroom.

Prisoners?

Kobe's playing crashed off the Gulf of Aden.

That's right next to Yemen.

I wouldn't read too much into it.

I have to talk to General Anderson.

I need your help again.

General Anderson, hi.

Thank you so much for calling me.

Sophia tells me you have questions about the mission.

They want on the news?

Yes.

General, is it possible that one of the prisoners they rescued knows what happened to Kobe

so that we can recover his body?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I can recover his body.

Daniel.

According to the intelligence I've received, no U.S. military members were being held captive

at that compound.

Prisoners were all foreigners.

Is it possible someone can talk to them?

It's not how these things work.

It's just not that simple.

Daniel, I'd love nothing more than to bring you closure.

I'm sorry.

No, it's okay.

No, it's okay.

I don't think I have ever seen a little lady look more beautiful in my entire life.

Thanks, Mommy.

Daddy would be so proud.

You ready?

Ready.

Ready.

Okay, yes.

And I've got some moms in the house too.

I hope you're ready to rock until the break of APN.

Go ahead.

Are you sure Mommy?

Yeah, honey, I'm fun.

Okay, ladies and gents, it's time to slow it down for the Father-Dada dance.

I'm so sorry I'm crying

All night, all night is coming

You can do this

Oh, Colby

I wish I could have one more Christmas together

I wish I could have one more Christmas

I wish I could have one more Christmas

Colby

Colby

Colby

Colby

Colby

Colby

Colby

Colby

My wife

My beautiful wife

I was captured and held at a compound

but there was a raid and there was an explosion

and I escaped I only found out later it was US forces when I made my way to the embassy

All these years help, how did you survive?

I found out you in the laundry every second of every day

I promised you a lifetime of Christmases

I love you so much

I love you

Audrey, I need to see Audrey

Audrey

Christmas trees, Christmas lights

The joy is real in my heart tonight

I'm coming home to my family

Beautiful

Yeah, baby girl, it's me

I'm home

I miss you so much

I miss you every day

Look how big you got

I love you, Daddy

I love you too

Man, I have this dance

From the sidewalk I see the glow

I'm coming out of the cold to Christmas at home

As a young man I flew away

To chase my dreams for a better day

It's funny how the passing time helps you realize

Maybe all I really need

Is behind that door waiting for me

Or the sweet simplicity of a loving family

Coming out of the cold

Coming out of the cold

From the sidewalk I see the glow

Where are you, Daddy?

I was on a mission and my plane broke

And I was trapped in a place I couldn't leave

Like in the movies?

Like in the movies

I'm okay now

Daddy's home for good

I told you

I moved heaven and earth to get back to you

You were right, Mommy

All the best things really do happen at Christmas

They really do, Mommy

Don't forget this guy

He doesn't play your voice anymore

Man, it's good you got the real thing right here

Will you tell me a story?

Sure sweet

He wants a point of time

Beautiful as can be

I just have some news to share

This Christmas deal

Daddy, looking good

Me and on them

Was almost a short thing

Until they met

Andrew Walker, Peyton Lest

My family has been on this land near the US entry

I'll tell my goddess, no go

You're throwing away this deal for a woman who just met

When I'm with you, I feel sad

A maple valley Christmas
