* Glad tidings for Christmas And a Happy New Year *

* We want some Milk and cookies *

Mommy, can you take me to skating after school today?

Ooh, that sounds like a fun treat. Sure, we can do that.

Okay, so you have your lunch

and your Christmas project is in your backpack

and don't forget to remind Mrs. George that I am free to volunteer

for the Christmas party.

-Okay, mommy. -Okay.

Hello Mr. Henderson.

-Morning, Grace. Morning, Wendy. -Hi.

My mom just got a new haircut. Doesn't she look pretty?

Why yes she does, Grace. Very lovely!

Thank you, Bob.

Okay, have a good day today and I'll pick you up after school and we'll go ice skating.

-Okay, mommy. -I love you.

Love you too.

* Glad tidings we bring To you and your kin *

Bye!

* Glad tidings for Christmas And a Happy New Year *

[sighs]

Hello, Santa.

-Merry Christmas! -Merry Christmas!

-Wow, Jane! Christmas is here. Look at you go! -[laughing]

Hello, Charles. Thank you. Merry Christmas!

And I hear not even his own mother knows where he is

which is not surprising since he has never tried to contact Wendy or his own daughter.

I got to go.

-Hi. -Hi.

I'll see you later.

You tell Angie congratulations from me and I will see you at Bridge on Friday.

[beep]

That was just Helen telling me how well Angie's been doing.

I bet she was.

She just got the lead in a Christmas musical.

I know, "A Christmas Carol."

-Isn't it fantastic? -It is fantastic.

Well, I think that you ought to give her a phone call and congratulate her

because I know that she would love to hear from you.

Wendy?

What?

You'll call her?

Okay, I'll call her.

Okay.

All righty then, if you're gonna hold down the fort

then I'm gonna get some butter for my shortbread.

Bye. Go Grace! Go Grace! Go, go, go!

[Meg] Go, Gracie!

[Wendy] I love that move. [laughs]

Whoo! Wow!

Oh, I wish dad could see this. She is amazing and graceful.

She did not get that from me.

[Meg] Oh, you did all right with your father.

No, when he held me up--

-So when were you gonna tell me? -Tell you what?

Ed's been our banker for 20 years. They sent a letter to the house.

Okay, listen. I have a plan.

If we refinance the house and we take out a loan,

-I won't have to borrow from Grace's college fund. -No Wendy, it's time.

It's been six years since Stuart left you here, pregnant,

and not a word since.

So it's time that you started living your life with Grace.

I don't mean staying around here trying to keep your father's store afloat.

I mean really living.

Mom, I can't just up and leave. Grace is in school.

She's in kindergarten, Wendy. What's she gonna miss?

Besides, she'll be happy anywhere as long as she's with you.

Wait, so what you're just gonna stay here and run the store by yourself?

Don't you worry about me. I'll be fine.

Wendy, I know how much your father meant to you but the store,

you can't keep him alive forever.

Oh! Grace!

[crying] Grace!

Okay, let's get you snug as a frog in a bog.

-Mommy, do you ever get sad? -About what, sweetie?

About not being married like the other mommies?

How could I ever be sad when I have you?

Hey, listen, Christmas is three weeks away.

How would you like to go on a big adventure?

-Yeah. -To the city.

-And we'll be back by Christmas. Okay. -Mm-Hm. Mm-Hm.

You sleep now and I'll tell you all about it at breakfast.

-Say goodnight, Gracie. -Goodnight, Gracie.

[Wendy laughs]

***

[calculator noise]

I just need a little bit more money.

[Angie] Well, the store I work at is hiring for the holidays.

Okay, that's amazing. So give me your address and we'll just take the bus.

Ooh, I can't believe it. I'm just so excited you're coming to the city.

Me too.

Hey Angie, congratulations again on your show.

Oh, thank you sweetie. I'll see you soon.

-Okay. Bye. - Bye.

[deep sigh]

I'll go, dad and when I get back, I promise I'll have the money to save the store.

***

[Grace humming "Jingle Bells"]

There's one, mom.

Good.

[driver] Off-duty lady, sorry.

-Mommy, look there's Santa. -Oh yeah!

-Here you go. Ooh! Here you go. Sorry. Come on. -Ho, ho, ho.

[Grace] Merry Christmas!

[gasps] 340, we did it.

[rings buzzer]

[man] What do you want?

Excuse me. Sorry. Oh!

There you are! I heard the buzzer but my entry button's been broken.

-Hi. Look at you Grace! Hi. -Angie!

You're so big. Come in, come in, come in. Come, I'll get you warm.

I'll take that, I'll take that.

With so many cabs in the city you think it'd be easy to catch one

but it's almost like they ignore you.

Sometimes I practically have to throw myself in front of one.

All right, here we are. Home sweet home.

-Woo! -Isn't it great?

It's so much bigger than my last apartment.

-[Grace] Wow, I love it! -And it has a bath, not just a shower.

Great.

Where's your Christmas tree?

Oh, I don't have one. Trying to preserve the environment.

-No tree? -You two will shack up in the bedroom.

-Hurray! -Wait no, we can't take your bedroom.

Well, I just bought this pull-out couch and I have been dying to try it out.

So I insist.

I'm so thrilled to have someone from back home.

And the best part is you get to see me in my new musical.

-You're gonna come, right? -Of course we're coming.

Are you famous, Angie?

Ooh, not yet. First thing tomorrow, I'm taking you over to Wolman's,

you know the store I've been working at.

They're always looking for temp employees during the holidays. You'd be perfect.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.

-Shoot! I gotta go. I have rehearsal in 20 minutes. -Oh.

Here are places that I like to order from.

You two, settle in and I will be back later.

-Okay, Grace? -[Grace] Bye, Angie.

I'm so glad you're here.

-[Wendy] Thank you. -Bye. Love you!

[Wendy laughing]

[door closing]

Why is having a Christmas tree bad for the environment?

People don't want to chop down trees anymore so they're just getting fake ones.

I still like the real ones.

Me too.

[loud slamming]

I miss Grandma.

I do too.

But you know what? We're gonna see her really soon. Christmas. Promise.

So, tell me about this company. I mean I know that they're like super famous.

Well, they've been around for, like, 50 years, owned by Harry Wolman himself.

Although his nephew pretty much manages the store now.

Got it.

Harry comes around every now and again to make the rounds.

[Wendy] Grace, look at this.

Whoa!

All right. We're gonna go right through here

and then I will take you to Human Resources.

* We wish you a Merry Christmas We wish you a Merry Christmas *

Beauty!

-[Wendy] Cool, huh? -[Grace] Yeah.

* Happy New Year *

* Good tidings we bring To you and your kin *

* Good tidings for Christmas *

Oh, hi!

* And a Happy New Year *

* We all know That Santa's coming *

* We all know That Santa's coming *

* We all know That Santa's coming *

* And soon will be here *

* Good tidings we bring To you and your kin *

[Wendy] Piano.

-Whoa! -Oh, and look at all these presents.

--great with all decorations.

* We all know That Santa's coming *

* And soon will be here *

* Good tidings we bring To you and your kin *

* Good tidings for Christmas And a Happy New Year *

It's blocking the merchandise.

-Get rid of it. -Yeah, boss.

That's Teanna, or as I call her Cruella.

The shop hired her to fix things.

Apparently, she's like this new young marketing genius.

Let's go upstairs.

-Whoa! -I love this store, Angie.

-Let's go see toys. -Yeah.

And this is my department.

Look, it's Santa.

-Wait here. I'm gonna go clock in. -Okay.

Hello there, young lady. Come on up.

And what can we do for you?

[kids] Merry Christmas!

What's that over there? Look.

[laughing] That's awesome.

-[Wendy] Thank you, Santa. -There you go.

I told Santa my wishes but I'm still sending him a letter.

Oh, and don't worry, he's said he knows what your wish is.

Oh he did, did he?

Where is Angie?

All right, have fun looking around.

Is there something I can help you with?

Oh no that's okay. I'm just looking for my friend.

She was gonna take me to Human Resources to help me get a holiday job.

Great. We can always use extra hands at Christmas.

Oh, you work here.

You could say that. I'm Tom.

-Oh, I'm Wendy. -And I'm Grace.

It is nice to meet you, Grace. Is this your mom?

-Isn't she pretty? -Okay.

So, do you have any retail sales experience?

Yes, I've been running my dad's shop back at home for the last five years

but it's nothing like this. This place is amazing with the decorations and the music.

Hey, how did they do that thing with the snow in the front window?

It's some kind of massive fan I think.

Uh, so, can you start right away?

-Excuse me? -Mr. Wolman.

-[Tom] Hi, Angie. -[Angie] Hi.

Wolman?

-As in Wolman, Wolman? -Tom gave mommy a job.

That's great.

It's great for us. It's not every day we get someone as enthusiastic as Wendy is.

Since you guys know each other

-Now? -If you can.

We have a daycare if you need it.

Yes, I can start today and yes I need daycare. Thank you, Mr. Wolman.

Thank you.

Angie do you mind showing her HR, so she'd get started on paperwork.

Oh, and show her daycare on the way.

-Absolutely. Thanks. -Measure her.

-Yeah boss. -Measure her?

We're gonna have to completely respect all of these toys.

I need the highest priced toys to be on the children's eye level

and the cheapest to be far above and below.

Teanna, we all stock the shelves

so the kids have access to the most popular toys, not the most expensive.

And you wonder why the board hired me to increase sales?

Mommy, is she a witch?

No, shh!

What are you all gaping at? Get to work.

I'll see you at our meeting later.

-Bruno! -Hey kid, here, catch this.

-[girl] Huh? -[toy squeaking]

[Bruno] Boss, coming.

Excuse me.

-Let's go to daycare. -I'll show you where it is. Come on, baby.

Wow, this is awesome! Okay, listen.

I will be right upstairs if you need me and we can even have lunch together.

Look mommy, our very own Christmas tree and we get to make popcorn garland.

Yeah! Bye. I love you.

-[Grace] I love you too, mommy. -Okay.

-You have your nametag? -Yeah.

All right. You'll have two breaks and a lunch hour and there's a fridge

and a microwave in the employee room if you need it.

This place is legit.

It really is. We're lucky. Harry Wolman really takes care of his employees.

We even get a Christmas bonus.

-Wait, I get a Christmas bonus? -Mm-Hm.

No, I'm only planning on being here until Christmas though.

Yeah, well everyone gets one. It's like they're--

a gift to all the employees who work at the store.

That is amazing.

Last year I was able to send my mom to the spa for her birthday because of it.

Oh, believe me, I heard all about the spa trip.

-I'm a mama's girl. -Yeah, you were.

Seriously, this is the most family-oriented place you'll ever want to work.

They even support my musical theater career.

-How? -You'll see.

Wait!

-Let's go stock some shelves. -Okay.

-And I'll teach how to work the register, okay? -Okay.

* Toyland, Toyland *

* Little girl and boy land *

* While you dwell within it *

* You are ever happy then *

* Childhood's joy land *

* Mystic merry joy land *

* Once you pass Its borders, you... *

[scoffs] That's awful. We need better music.

* Can never return again *

[Angie] Thank you.

You want to show me something? Okay.

Okay.

-This is the one you want, right? -[boy] Yeah.

Okay.

-Oh my gosh! I almost fell. -Oh! I got you.

Don't have to fill out an incident report on your first day.

Thank you, Mr. Wolman.

-Please, it's Tom. -Tom.

-I'll see you soon. -Okay.

Here you go, buddy.

-Merry Christmas! Oh, Merry Christmas! -Thanks!

* You got to get with that You got to get with that *

* You got to get with that *

* Boogie Santa *

* You got to get with that You got to get with that *

* You got to get with that Boogie Santa *

* You want to be cool *

* With the kids at school *

* If you want more Than the kid next door *

* Hokie Santa Will be in the store *

* You got to get with that *

Whoa, whoa, that is not like any Christmas carol I have ever known.

Oh, we have our very own Wendy Carroll, right here in the store right now.

-That's right. -Nick.

-Oh. -It's a pleasure.

This is a shame. I mean, lately the people have forgotten that Christmas is not about

getting, it's about giving.

Last year, I barely kept the spirit alive

when I was visiting a store in Canada.

Oh, so you work in other stores besides this one?

I like to spread the joy somewhere different every year.

Last year I was in Vancouver, the year before that I was in Moscow.

-Wow, Moscow! -I know. It was cold.

So cold, colder than the North Pole, I'll tell you.

-Oh my! I'd better get back. -Oh.

I am so glad that you still have the spirit, Wendy.

-[boy] Hi, Santa! -Excuse me.

[Nick] Merry Christmas, kids. Ho, ho, ho.

Are you sure about Teanna, Uncle Harry?

Have you seen her and that minion she always has with her?

I know she's supposed to be some marketing whiz kid

and I'd be happy if she could turn things around.

It's just she walks around like she owns the place.

It wasn't my decision to hire her. The board insisted.

We have to give them something. Let's just see what she brings.

[intriguing music]

Hm!

Have no fear, Teanna's here.

Teanna, I have some concerns.

Put all of your worries to rest, although my reputation speaks for itself.

Now, I've already started to implement phase one of my plan,

but phase two which I like to call trimming the fat, I propose

we scrap the employee Christmas bonuses.

Excuse me? My uncle is not Ebenezer Scrooge.

This is a family company and we treat all of our employees as if they were a part of the family.

-To cheat them at Christmas-- -The employee bonuses stay.

Fine. The daycare then, another frivolous cost which obviously needs to be done away with.

The daycare is hardly a frivolous cost.

Do you know how many of our staff rely on it to be able to come to work?

Well, I'm sorry. If you can't afford them then don't have them.

The daycare also stays.

Mr. Wolman, with all due respect,

the Board of Directors hired me to raise your sales figures

and I highly doubt that they'd be pleased to hear about any resistance

I'm getting trying to save their investment.

We will cut the daycare cost in half. Agreed?

Agreed.

We'll see the first preliminary numbers by Friday.

What about this investor you promised us would come on board?

Without him, I don't see how even you can get us into the black.

Uh! Don't worry about that. Moore's money is as good as in the bank.

Now, Mr. Wolman,

you take care of yourself and I will take good care of your company.

Thank you, Teanna.

Thank you, Teanna. Let's go, Uncle Harry.

Get me Ken on the phone.

-On it. -[sighs]

-Here you go, boss. -[phone calling]

[Ken] Teanna, how are things at the old relic?

Better, now that I'm here.

I was wondering if you'd made a decision about my lucrative investment opportunity.

About that. The offer's changed.

Replace the old man and the money's in the bank. Got it?

Of course, Ken. I'll make sure it happens.

I just need to convince this nephew of his.

Well, make sure it happens by Christmas. After that, the offer is off the table.

[hangs up the phone]

Fool! How dare he make me look bad by changing the deal?

[sighs]

Although he's right.

If I had my way around here, I could work wonders to reinvent this mausoleum.

All I'd have to do is convince that heart-bleeding nephew of his

to ink the deal with Moore to keep me onboard this sinking ship.

And when the ink is dry, I'd be captain of this ship.

Teanna Wolman.

That does have kind of a ring to it, huh?

Uhh.

Teanna Tolman or Teanna Tellman. I like that one.

Oh, shut up!

Nice to see you, Claire. You are looking younger every year.

I'm not sure bringing her in here was the right decision.

As much as I don't like it either, Tommy, it must be done.

Besides, it's only till Christmas. After that, we are in the clear.

[Wendy] Hello munchkin.

-Mommy! -Hi!

-You about ready to go home? -Uh-huh.

-Wanna meet my new friend? -Of course I do.

-Thank you so much. -His name is William.

Hello, William.

-Does your mom work here in the store too? -No. She just shops a lot.

Oh, dear. Well, I guess that means we'll be seeing you again.

-[gasps] Did you make a Christmas tree, Grace? -Uh-huh.

Oh, it's so cool. Say goodbye to William.

-Bye William. -Bye!

-[woman] Bye, Grace. -Look, I can hang it.

And it has eyeballs.

Hey, welcome home.

Hi. That was the longest rehearsal.

I saved you some lo mein.

Oh, thank goodness. They didn't even give us a break at rehearsal.

Hey, you know, I'm a pretty good cook.

Why are you laughing?

William said that there's no special lighting of the Christmas tree like in Quinton.

No bake sales, not even any carolers.

Wow, grumpy!

Listen, I'm sure there's something Christmassy

that we can find to do here in this city.

Let's ask Tom. He'll know.

Okay, time for bed. Go on, I'll meet you in there.

You like him.

No, I do not like him.

What's there not to like? He's cute, single as far as I can tell.

And he stands to inherit the entire Wolman Dynasty, so not a bad catch if you ask me.

He's not a fish. He's my boss.

Only until Christmas.

Hey, look, it's Tom.

-Hey, Tom. -Hey.

-How are you today? -Good. how are you guys doing?

We're good, we're good.

That's it. Take your little donation box or whatever and find yourself another store.

Ta-ta.

Thomas, there you are.

Now, I wanted to go over a couple of things with you.

Why are the carolers being sent away?

I guess it's something we needed to do.

No, Grace that's Tom's business although it is a shame.

William was right. This place has no goodness fun at all.

-Grace! -No Christmas? Well, look at where you are.

What says Christmas more than shopping?

-Grace, what's your idea of Christmas fun? -I like skating.

You ladies skate? I do too.

Oh no, no, no. I don't skate.

I haven't skated in years but Grace is a beautiful skater.

Ah, our old rink was just paved over last year. Oh, but the-- there's a park across the street

with the world's best peppermint hot chocolate. You got to get some.

-Can we mommy? -Well, I do have the day off tomorrow.

So, if Tom tells me where it is.

Tom can come with us.

Oh, that's ridiculous. Tom and I have too much work to do.

But you have to have time for fun too.

You know what? You're right.

How about I meet you in front of the store tomorrow, say three o'clock?

But Thomas, we have serious business to attend to.

I'm sure it can wait.

-Gotta run. -Okay.

-Yay! Tom really like us. -[Wendy laughs]

Tom is nice, mommy.

Okay Grace, come on. I gotta get to work, let's go.

So maybe this musical will get picked up and I'll get to go to like

Broadway or to the West End in London or something.

I mean it has everything: singing, dancing, love.

Is my best friend gonna be on Broadway?

Okay. Very important. When you finish cashing out for the day,

carefully lock the cash deposit bag in the drawer. It's your responsibility.

Cash deposit bag in the drawer. Got it.

So, I was thinking since we're both off tomorrow, maybe you can bring Grace by my rehearsal.

Oh, I can't.

-What do you mean you can't? -Tom is taking Grace and me to the park,

but actually in hindsight I think he's just taking us there.

I don't think he's gonna stay and hang out with us. Whatever. It's not a big deal.

-You're going on a date with Tom? -Shh!

Sorry. You're going on a date with Tom?

Seriously, if Teanna hears me talking about this, I'm totally going to get fired.

-Why? You think she likes him? -I think she might. I don't know. Who cares?

I'm not here to find a man. I'm here to save my father's store.

Why can't you do both? Wendy, it's been five years. It's time.

-Bruno! -Yeah, boss.

Find me everything you can on Wendy Carroll and her little candy store.

Everyone has an agenda. Even you, Little Miss Carroll.

[Tom] I don't know what's happened to this place.

I mean, paving over the ice rink to make room for what? More parking?

It used to be Christmas was the most magical time of the year.

All the trees were lit up, there were carolers on every corner.

No one loved Christmas more than my Uncle Harry.

He always made sure that Wolman's had the most spectacular window displays

-and the biggest tree in the lobby. -[Wendy] M-hm.

Christmas with him was always something to look forward to.

-Mommy, can I go to the playground? -Of course you can.

-You want to sit? -Sure.

Sounds like you and your uncle are really close.

Yeah. My mom was a socialite. She was never around.

And my dad died when I was five. So, Harry's been like a father to me ever since.

Five years old. That's Grace's age.

What about Grace's father? Is he still in the picture?

No. He is decidedly not in the picture.

We were high school sweethearts and we were actually really happy together, but he changed.

It's like he just couldn't handle the impending fatherhood.

I'm sorry.

Sometimes I'm grateful that Grace never knew him because she never had to lose him.

Well, she is lucky to have you.

I know, isn't she?

-Hi, mommy. -Hi, munchkin.

-Tom, is this where the skating rink was? -Yes, it was right over there.

You know what? We're gonna find another one and I promise

-I'm gonna take you skating. Deal? -Deal.

Wow! Sounds like we have a deal.

Santa at the store said he wished he could make your Christmas wish come true.

-He did, did he? -Mm-Hm.

But he said he can't save grandpa's store.

-Did you tell him about grandpa's store? -Mm-Hm. He just knew.

-Mommy, I like Tom. Do you? -Yeah, I like him. He's very nice.

Then why did you say to Angie that you didn't like him?

I think Angie was asking if I liked him as a boyfriend.

Well, maybe he could be your boyfriend.

I'm not looking for a boyfriend right now. And he's my boss.

Say goodnight Santa.

Goodnight, Santa.

-Say goodnight Gracie. -Goodnight, Gracie.

[music from the snow globe]

It's perfect, mom. I get to sell toys all day

and they even give their employees a Christmas bonus. Isn't it great?

Oh, it's wonderful news honey. How's Grace?

She's good. I think she misses you, but she's having fun.

Anyway, we will definitely be home in time for Christmas. And I think at that point,

I'll have enough money to hold off the creditors for another month.

Don't you worry yourself too much about the store, honey. I'll manage it.

You just do what's best for you and Grace. Okay?

I love you, honey.

I will, mom. I love you too.

Okay, watch your step. One, two, three, blue.

Hey, look at the bow and there's snowflakes.

[Grace] I've never seen red ones before.

I know. You're right. Watch your step.

-Mommy. -Hm?

Do you think Tom misses skating? I know I would if they took away our rink at home.

I don't know Grace. I bet he does, but come on, I gotta get to work. Let's go.

Okay, mommy.

Do you want to say hello to Santa Claus before you go to daycare?

-Uh-huh. -Okay.

Get rid of the gnome. Get rid of the reindeer. The candy canes go.

We need more pink trees and I need those posters to be eye-level.

Bruno!

-[Teanna] Bruno! -Hmm.

What are you doing eating at a time like this? We have work to do.

But it's my lunch break.

Okay. I expect this entire department to be revamped before the end of the day

and make my lunch reservations at Zara's North East Table, seven-feet from the door.

[Bruno] Yeah, boss.

Hi mister. Here.

Leave that.

Wendy here can stay after closing and clean it up.

-[laughs] -Oh!

-Bruno! -Coming, boss.

That goes.

Get rid of that. I don't like it.

Tom, what's going on? Teanna!

-[Teanna] That goes. -Jane, just wait.

-What about this? -I hate that.

-Teanna! -That candy cane goes.

What is going on?

I'm getting complaints from like every department about trees being painted,

decorations being taken down.

I'm implementing phase one of my plan. Doing what I was hired to do.

Sales are up twelve percent already. Now,

I'd be happy to go over it with you, in my office six o'clock.

-[man] Tom, what about Rudolph? -The reindeer stays.

* The best time of year *

Here's your change. Bye!

-Here you go, Merry Christmas! -Thank you.

Welcome to Wolman's. Enjoy the gift. Thank you.

Good to see you. There's your change.

So cute.

I think you're doing great and the customers seem to love you.

Thank you. I'm well. Here you are.

Hi. Hi. I love cash.

Merry Christmas!

Thank you.

-Here is your change. And Merry, Merry Christmas. -Merry Christmas.

Thank you.

Huh, the rush is over.

Hey, will you take Grace home tonight? Cruella is making me work late.

Ooh, sounds like you're on someone's bad side.

-I know, right? I'm gonna go let Grace know. -Okay.

-Oh! -Oh my!

Oh my goodness! You came out of nowhere.

Oh my, my!

It looks like Christmas has taken on a whole different hue this year.

But at least we have people like you, who know

true meaning of Christmas even if I can't make your wish come true.

-How do you know what my wish is? -Shh!

Okay.

What? Aw.

Hey, munchkins.

Mommy, William and I were just making our Christmas wish list for Santa.

I put a star next to the pink skates because it's my number two wish.

My number one wish is a secret only Santa knows about.

This looks like an amazing wish list and pink skates are very fancy.

Hey, listen, Angie is gonna pick you up and take you home today because I need to work late.

-Is that okay with you? -Okay, mommy.

-Want to see my list? -Yeah, I do.

Wow! That is quite a list.

My mom says you need to ask if you want to get it.

Oh really? My mom always said that you need to give in order to receive.

We're letting you go. You can finish out the shift and then you're fired.

Wait! Excuse me. What's happening?

Cutbacks.

Sorry.

[door opens]

-Tom! -Teanna.

It's time to celebrate.

-Oh! No, thank you. -I insist.

To Wolman's. May our partnership bring many a great thing.

So, I'm happy to hear the numbers are up,

although Wendy was right.

Losing the carolers was a shame.

Wendy doesn't exactly have the same level of experience.

Unlike you and I, both products of the big city.

We'd make quite the team.

After all we had the same interests in mind,

saving this poor wreck of a store.

I don't exactly see Wolman's as being a wreck.

It's in far worse shape than your uncle's willing to admit.

And I must say my investor is not as willing to bail you out,

not without some assurances.

What do you mean? He wants to make sure I'm here long after Christmas is over.

If I could assure them that Wolman's could be better managed by let's say

a great partnership,

then Wolman's can be saved.

We need to talk to Harry. He's in this partnership too.

Of course. Harry. Wolman's is nothing without Harry.

* You got to get with that You got to get with that *

[sighing]

[piano playing "Silent Night"]

That is beautiful.

Oh, I didn't know anybody was still here.

-Do you play often? -Not really.

I'm just trying to get some in before Teanna takes it away too.

You know, it's none of my business, but

it doesn't really seem to me like she belongs here at Wolman's.

She doesn't.

The store is struggling a bit. Teanna's the board's way of raising sales.

As much as I hate what she's done in this place,

I'd hate to lose Wolman's even more.

I can totally understand that. My dad's store back at home in Quinton is in trouble.

That's why I came out here, to see if I could make enough money to save it.

And if you do, will you go back?

Oh, I'd have to.

Yeah, that store is all I have left of my father.

I'll be sad to see you go.

[both laughing]

So

what does Wendy Carroll do for Christmas?

Oh goodness! Um, well, let's see. My dad started a tradition early.

At every Christmas morning, after we opened our presents,

we would go down to the local skating rink.

He was determined to teach me how to skate

even though I have two left feet.

Um, anyway, afterwards to warm up, we would go back to our house

and my mom would bake a big batch of cookies and have hot cider

and my dad would take us over to the piano and he'd start out every year

playing and singing the First Noel.

Oh!

You know it.

Caroling is a woman's family tradition.

Harry would always throw a party on Christmas Eve and the best part of the evening

was when Harry would sit down at the piano and lead everyone in carols.

And this was always my favorite one.

Come on, help me out.

[laughing]

* The First Noel *

* The Angels did say *

* Was to certain Poor shepherds *

* In fields as they lay *

* In fields where they lay Keeping their sheep *

* On a cold winter's night *

* That was so deep *

* Noel, Noel *

* Noel, Noel *

* Born is the King of Israel *

* They looked up *

* And saw a star *

* Shining in the East *

* Beyond them far *

* And to the earth It gave great light *

* And so it continued *

* Both day and night *

* Noel, Noel *

* Noel, Noel *

* Born is the King of Israel! *

* Noel, Noel *

* Noel, Noel *

* Born is the King of Israel! *

Goodnight, Mr. Wolman.

Goodnight, Thomas.

Harry. What are you doing here?

Oh, making my rounds a little later than usual. And who is this?

This is Wendy. She works in the toy department.

Hello, Mr. Wolman. You have a beautiful store.

Well, it takes beautiful people to make it so.

But I won't interrupt you two any longer.

Um. Pleasure, Wendy.

Okay. This is-- this is me or Angie. Her.

Okay.

You know, your uncle seems really cool.

-Uh, Harry is a great guy. -Yeah.

Thank you for tonight. I didn't realize how badly I needed to have some fun.

It was fun.

Tom, I have every faith in the world that you're gonna restore Wolman's to what it once was.

I hope so

because pink Christmas trees-- it's definitely not it.

Definitely not it.

Angie's got a fake Christmas tree too that she's about to take out.

She wants to preserve the environment and I totally respect that.

But there is just nothing like the smell of a Christmas tree.

-That-- that's Christmas. You know what I mean? -I know what you mean.

I feel so bad for Grace 'cause we always have one at home and I think she misses it.

I miss it.

You-- oh!

She's right upstairs.

Another chorus of "First Noel" or-- No, we did that.

-I'm gonna go. -Goodnight, Wendy.

Goodnight, Sir.

Bye.

And if we get a fake tree, we get to make popcorn garland or even colored paper.

And we get to bake cookies and hang them on the tree.

And the more we decorate, the more it looks like a real tree.

You're right, Grace.

Mommy, the window has changed.

Come on.

What are you doing with the piano?

I'm replacing it.

Mommy, what is that?

Oh, it's a man with his shirt off. I gotta go to work. Let's go.

* Can't trust Santa To make you cool *

* You got to buy what you need To be cool at school *

* Buy, buy, buy Buy the latest toys *

* It's the best way To feel the Christmas joy *

* Never tell Santa Like we did last year *

* To bring in the toys And give you Christmas cheer *

* You got to buy, buy, buy Buy the latest toys *

* Then you can be One of the cool girls and boys *

Oh, yeah!

You can be cool!

What am I going to do, mommy? They've taken away so much.

Hey! You know what you're gonna do? You're gonna use your imagination.

I'm sure you can come up with tons of games to play around here.

Look there's even a slide, still.

This new investor comes on board, we could all breathe a lot easier

and then we can take time for--

say, Wendy.

Harry.

So, what if this investor doesn't come on board?

We can't deny we're in trouble. It feels like we're losing control of this place.

Without Wolman's, I wouldn't know what to do.

It's all I've known, built,

dreamt for 47 years.

Ah!

It'll be alright, Tommy.

[door opening]

[door closing]

Okay, ladies. Trays up high. Sell, sell, sell.

Hi.

Yeah.

Hi!

[rock music]

* We wish you a Merry Christmas We wish you a Merry Christmas *

* We wish you a Merry Christmas And a Happy New Year *

* Good tidings to you Wherever you are *

* Good tidings for Christmas And a Happy New Year *

I want a train set, a snowboard,

a baseball glove and a remote-control car.

* We wish you a Merry Christmas And a Happy New Year *

* Bring us a figgy pudding Oh, bring us a figgy pudding *

* Oh, bring us a figgy pudding And a cup of good cheer *

* We won't go until we get some We won't go until we get some *

* So, bring some out here *

Uh-oh! Someone's not happy.

Are you not having a Merry Christmas? You know what? Would you like a candy cane?

-There you go. Merry Christmas! -Merry Christmas!

This environment is so not conducive to my pre-opening night headspace.

-You're still coming, right? -Of course. I wouldn't miss it.

Not even for a date with your boss? Hi.

It wasn't a date. He just dropped me off after work.

Then why can I see actual cartoon hearts around your head?

Bag it.

-[Angie] Hi. Merry Christmas. -Thank you. Bye.

[Teanna] What did you find on her?

Well, she grew up in Quinton. Nice little town that one is.

They even got an annual lighting of the Christmas tree lights.

Tell me something interesting.

Well, her father's store did just declare bankruptcy recently.

-Has it been sold? -Not yet.

Seems Wendy's name is on all the deeds. It's kind of sad, being a family business and all.

Mm, sad indeed.

I bet our little Wendy is trying to do everything she can to save it.

* Didn't think that I'd find *

* Someone I could Share this with *

* I'm so glad that you're here And I just want to... *

Hi.

[gasps] The show was great but you were incredible! Gracie loved it too.

She's getting her picture taken with the Snow Queen.

-[Grace] Hi, Angie! -Thank you for being here.

Oh my gosh! We wouldn't have missed it.

The audience seemed light tonight. Especially, for opening night.

-What did you think? -No, I thought it was fine.

Besides as soon as people find out how great the show is, it's gonna be packed.

I hope you're right.

-Tom! -Hey!

[Grace] Is this for us?

-What is this? -This is a Douglas fir.

I cut it down from Harry's property. It was growing pretty thick there anyway.

Well, Grace why don't we go see if we can look for some of my old decoration?

-Wanna bring that in? -Uh, yeah.

[Wendy] Careful.

Thanks.

I don't know what to say.

Thank you.

It's-- it's perfect.

I just wanted to make sure you didn't think Christmas in the city was all that bad.

In case you were thinking about staying.

It's getting late. I should put Grace to bed.

-Tom? -Yeah.

It's not that bad.

Uh, Christmas-- in the city. It's not that bad.

Goodnight.

Oh! Ooh!

[Angie] Producers say we should know as early as the end of the week

if we can extend it right into the New Year.

-Do you think we will? -Of course we will.

-Huh? -What?

-What are you gonna do? -What am I gonna do about what?

About the fact that Tom Wolman chopped down a tree for you.

See? There it is.

Wendy, you can't keep denying that you and Tom Wolman have something.

Okay, I totally like him.

I do. But what's the plan? I live in Quinton and he lives here.

So, stay here.

-Oh! -No. I get it.

You lived in Quinton your entire life but maybe it's time for you to move on.

-Wow, you sound like my mother. -Well, your mother's right.

It's time you live your life. And if that means giving up your father's shop,

then maybe it's time.

I will never give up my father's shop. I made him a promise and I will not break it.

You know, a major cause of lost revenue for many businesses is due to employee theft.

Are you saying my employees are stealing from us?

You know, I've been reviewing a lot of the deposit numbers and they're a little off.

Especially, in the toy department.

But let's not dwell on that. We have more important things to talk about like,

"Operation Santa Claus."

What's "Operation Santa Claus?"

Just another way to boost sales.

Thomas, you and I, we're not that different.

We both want the same things.

Maybe, we don't need Ken's money.

I mean look at these numbers. You're doing a great job raising sales.

I am.

But we both know that's not good enough.

Thomas, Christmas is around the corner. I can't keep Ken and his money on hold forever.

[sighing]

I hope you're not letting this place get you down. No, no, no. Sit, sit, sit, sit.

Tell us what's troubling Miss Carroll?

-Oh, Santa! -Oh...

I'm just a little confused.

Well, I've got great listening ears.

I've always been a person who was so sure

of herself.

And now all of a sudden, I'm just feeling like I don't know what to do.

You know sometimes we make promises that we can't always keep.

Wendy,

you know you've always been a good girl.

You-- you never even made the naughty list.

Oh, oh wait. Except for that one time. Oh young lady, you came very, very close.

The time

that you tied

Bart Peterson to the tree. I remember that.

How did you know about that? Angie told you about that.

Oh, I have good eyes too.

Well,

the point is,

you deserve to do something for you.

Besides, wishes, they have very strange ways of coming true.

You need a little Christmas faith

and to believe.

And I know you have plenty of both.

[laughing]

[background music]

[Wendy] Oh mom, Angie was amazing in her play.

I wish you could have seen her. She's like a total natural.

So, it's been open for a week. Fingers crossed.

-How's Gracie? -She's good.

She's decorating the tree Tom gave us.

Who's Tom?

He-- no one. He's um-- I work with him. Whatever.

How many degrees do the cookies? Is it 350 or 400?

375.

Listen, Wendy. I-- I know that you have your heart set on...

Ooh, by the way. I just tucked away another thousand dollars to save the store.

- Isn't that great? -Yeah, that's great honey.

Um, I gotta go.

I love you.

I love you.

[gasps] There's my star!

Just in time. Here, try this. Put it in your mouth.

Oh no! What is it? It's bad. What?

No. They're incredible.

-What is it Angie? What's wrong? -My show got canceled, honey.

Oh Angie! I'm so sorry.

But why? It was so good.

The attendance was low and they couldn't afford to keep it on.

-They said no one wants to see a Christmas play at Christmas. -Okay, you listen to me.

You are an amazing actress. And I'm not just saying that because you're sad.

I can't wait for the whole world to see what you can do.

You just need to find your audience.

Yeah, Angie. Here's something that'll make you feel better.

Oh! It's-- it's so Christmassy.

[Wendy] Oh, babe.

Let's go.

-Hi. Would you like some Christmas cookies? -Thank you.

Merry Christmas. Hi. Merry Christmas.

-Thanks. -Hello. Merry Christmas.

Thank you.

Merry Christmas.

[Wendy] Like sugar cookies and...

-For me? -Mm-Hm.

Thank you.

Hi, Tom.

Hey.

-What is it? -They're just some, some Christmas cookies.

They're not quite as good as my mom's, but it'll do.

Wow! It's been years since I've had a homemade cookie. Thank you.

Tom, I have a question.

I hate to ask. Um.

But I was talking to my mom the other day. And I don't have a lot of time. Um,

I was just wondering, and you can totally say no.

But I was just wondering if there's any chance

that I might be able to get my Christmas bonus just a bit early.

I would, believe me. It's just, I can't.

Oh.

No. No.

Oh my gosh! No this-- it's ridiculous that I even asked. Why did I do that? I'm so sorry.

-Wendy. -Yeah.

Wolman's won't be giving Christmas bonuses this year.

Oh!

Teanna and the board scrapped them.

I'm so sorry. I know how much everyone relies on it.

Maybe I can help you out. If you need some money.

My gosh! No. No, no, no, no, no.

Grace! We gotta get to daycare.

Um enjoy.

Grace, let's go. Come on.

Bye. Bye, Tom.

-Bye. -[Tom] Bye, Grace.

So, you have fun playing and then I will see you at lunch.

Don't forget to give Santa his cookie.

Okay. I won't.

-Santa? Where's Santa? -He's here.

-He is? -Yeah.

William, have you not gone to see Santa in the toy department?

But you're here almost every day.

And your mom...

My mom says she can't concentrate on her shopping if I'm with her.

You know what, guys?

-Come on. -[William] Where are we going?

We are going to see Santa Claus.

What do you think you guys will ask Santa for?

-Is that Santa? -No.

You know what guys? I'll be right back.

-Hey! Where's Santa? -Excuse me?

-Nick. Where is he? -I fired him.

You fired him? You can't fire Santa Claus. He's Santa Claus.

I can and I did, and as far as firing anyone else,

well, I need you to work late tonight.

Come on, guys.

Here you go. Merry Christmas.

Thanks.

-Hey, Ange. -Wow! Looks like someone's out of her funk.

Actually, I was thinking of drowning my sorrows in a tub of ice cream and Christmas movies.

-Care to join me? -Oh, I wish! Cruella is making me work late again.

Mm, sorry. Don't worry. I'll share with Grace.

Hmm. Thank you.

Hey.

-Christmas is awesome, bro. -Yeah, absolutely. I love it.

-Check this one out. -Oh!

-Can you do something about this? -I can't.

That's what the board-- it's what we hired Teanna to do.

Well, I think the board is wrong. Why does something have to be new in order to be better?

What if Wolman's is a success because

of everything that you and your uncle stand for and believe in?

Everything that makes Christmas truly magical.

Like real Christmas trees or windows that look like snow globes

or treating your customers and your employees fairly?

Why not bring back the old traditions

and remind people what a Wolman's Christmas is truly about?

-It's complicated. -[woman] Excuse me. Can I get some help here?

With this?

Hi. Can I help you?

Would this be good for a five-year-old?

[Wendy] I'd go with this book. This is one of our bestsellers.

I need you to take this down to the warehouse.

Hmm.

[woman on TV] Why would I go, right?

Hi.

It's not that I'm embarrassed.

-Hey! -Hey!

-Where's Grace? -She just went to bed.

Perfect.

So cute!

Hey, you ready to be tucked in?

-Mommy. -Hmm.

-When do we get to go home? -Soon.

I promised grandma we would be home in time for Christmas. And it's only a week away.

But if Santa's been fired, how would there be a Christmas?

Hey, Santa would never give up on Christmas and neither should you.

Ever. Say goodnight, Gracie.

Goodnight, Gracie.

-Do you have any ChapStick? My lips feel like cellophane. -Yeah, I think I do.

-Holy money! -What is it?

The cash bag.

I was so tired last night I must have accidentally put it in my purse. I have to return this.

Just the two I wanted to see.

What is it, Teanna?

Well, there seems to have been some discrepancies with your day end reports.

Oh, was it my fault? Did I do something wrong?

-If you consider stealing wrong, then yes. -Mm.

Excuse me?

Teanna, what's the problem?

The problem is the numbers continue to be off in this department.

Ladies, would you be so kind as to open your bags for us?

[Tom] That is absolutely not necessary.

Of course it is. Seeing that the cash bag has been missing from last night.

I was going to return it.

Really?

And how did it get in there in the first place?

Now, wait a minute. You can't just go accusing people, Teanna.

I was really tired last night after my shift

and I must have accidentally put it into my purse.

And she was just on her way to return it.

How convenient? Except, I don't buy it.

And you know why? Because I have computer records that prove that someone's been skimming cash

from this department since-- let's see-- Wendy's first week.

In light of all of your financial troubles, it really doesn't surprise me.

After all, it must be hard watching your father's store go under.

This is absurd.

There is no way I would ever believe Wendy would steal anything from anyone.

Of course I wouldn't, ever. Especially, not from Tom.

And why is that? Because you're in love with him?

Because while you've been busy playing in the park

and singing your carols, I've been busy saving Wolman's.

-How? By setting up innocent people and firing Santa Claus? -It was hardly a setup.

You got caught red-handed. Besides, it wasn't just me who fired Santa.

Tom signed off on it.

Is that true?

So, do we have to call the police or will you be leaving silently?

Oh, no! Believe me. I am leaving.

It just goes to show you, we all do what we have to do to achieve our dreams.

-Bruno! -Yeah, boss.

Fax Moore's contract over immediately. It's time to close this deal.

[Bruno] On it.

Wendy! Wendy! Wait. Where are you going?

Where do you think I'm going? I'm getting Grace and I'm going home.

No. You can't. You didn't do anything wrong.

-And Tom? -Tom is not who I thought he was.

She has brainwashed him.

Oh my God. I need some air.

Okay. All right, listen. Go back to the apartment. Take some time.

I'll bring Grace home after my shift. Okay?

-Wait, really? -Yes. Yes.

Thank you. Hey, thank you for everything.

Go. Get some rest.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Phew!

* O little town of Bethlehem *

* How still we see thee lie *

* Above thy deep And dreamless sleep *

* The silent stars go by *

* Yet in thy dark Streets shineth *

* The everlasting Light *

Teanna.

Hi.

Well, hello.

-Nick. -Yes.

-What are you doing here? -Oh, just enjoying myself

before the gang and Rudolf come and pick me up in a couple of days.

Oh! Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer is coming here?

Oh! You bet. Yes.

Well, except that his nose isn't really red. It's more of an orangey red

because that helps to cut through the clouds a bit better. Scwhoo!

[laughing]

Hey what are you gonna do now that Teanna's let you go?

Oh! Well, I would have loved to stay those last few days with you

but there's really enough for me to do up at the North Pole.

Mm-Hm.

Like making sure that sweet little girl of yours gets her wish.

What about my wish?

Sometimes even all my magic

can't make a wish come true.

But there is one wish that could still come true, your father's.

Yes, he was torn passing the burden of the shop on to you.

And his last Christmas wish was that you

should follow your heart

and be happy.

No matter where it takes you.

-You're the real Santa Claus, aren't you? -The one and only.

Teanna fired the real Santa Claus?

He-he-he. Oh! Kinda puts her on the naughty list, doesn't it?

And Tom.

Tom felt that he had to do what he had to do.

You of all people should know about sacrificing for the ones you love.

Don't give up on him just yet.

I have a feeling that he hasn't lost the spirit.

And neither should you.

[gasps]

Look at that. It just started snowing.

Santa?

So, she was aiming to get rid of me, was she?

I should have seen it coming.

Ah.

We don't need their dirty money anyhow.

That's just it. We don't need their money.

Remember when I was a kid

and you'd take me to the store weeks before Christmas.

How all the kids and even the parents would crowd around outside,

waiting to get that first glimpse of the window display?

That was pure magic.

That wasn't even the best part.

The best part was when you would take me upstairs to Santa's Village.

And Santa would take me on his knee and ask me what I wished for.

That was the most magical part about Christmas, for me and for everyone.

We don't need Teanna or the board or investors to save Wolman's. What Wolman's needs

is to get back to what it was.

The real Christmas trees and window displays that look like snow globes.

We need to get back to treating our staff and our customers like family.

And most importantly, what Wolman's needs is Santa Claus.

Make sure you book my Christmas holiday on the island for two this year.

I have a feeling I won't be alone.

There's nothing like being on a beach on Christmas Day away from all you people.

Have some champagne sent over. I have some celebrating to do. Gloves.

-I forgot them. -Oh.

Go fetch them and bring them to the condo.

But how am I gonna get there?

You have two legs. Walk.

[knocking on the door]

Wendy.

-Tom, what are you doing here? -I came here to tell you that you were right

about the store, about Teanna, about everything.

I never should have allowed her to do away with the best part of Christmas.

And you don't think I would steal?

No. I never thought that you would do anything like that.

And I know you love Wolman's too.

If you can forgive me, I can really use your help.

[exhales]

Come on.

-Who wants to take back Christmas? -Yay!

-Ready? -[Grace] Yeah.

Let's do this.

* Give me that Christmas That I know, hanging up The tree and mistletoe *

* I'll meet you there La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la *

* Give me back the Yuletide That I miss *

* Sweep off the dust From old Saint Nick *

* He's got the list La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la *

* All I want for Christmas All my people coming home *

* All I want for Christmas Is the Christmas that I know *

I know what we can do. We can put Santa in the sleigh

-in the front part of the hallway of the store. -[Tom] Yeah.

Great idea!

* It's not about the painted Plastic trees *

* It's a wonderful night When you're with me *

* It's all we need La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la *

* Up on the house top Let it snow *

I know. I was just thinking we could put Santa on the set.

-I think it would be like-- -Yes.

* That's Christmas time *

* Three wise men and tiny Tim Make no discord *

What can I do?

* Even the Grinch Knows what the season's for *

* All I want for Christmas *

Here's some scissors.

* Is the Christmas that I know *

All right!

Where's Bruno? That lazy lout never brought my gloves.

[beep]

[people gasping]

It's good, isn't it?

[man] Whoa-ho, ho, ho!

[Teanna] Who did this?

We did.

What is she doing here?

Bruno, get me the police.

Well, don't just stand there.

No one's calling the police, Teanna. We know what you did.

Well, then you're a bigger fool than your dear sweet Uncle Harry.

You people. Get this stuff down. It's an eyesore.

Don't do that.

Bruno, why are you just standing there?

Ugh! What is wrong with you people?

***

[Grace]Oh no!

* O come, all ye faithful *

* Joyful and triumphant *

* O come ye, o come ye *

* To Bethlehem *

* Come and behold Him *

* Born the King of Angels! *

* O come, let us adore Him *

[Angie] Thank you.

Thank you.

You! You think you've won your little battle. Well, let me tell you.

I can give Tom the one thing that you can't.

And that's Wolman's served on a silver platter.

Actually, I don't need you.

I've never needed you. And neither does Wolman's.

Fool!

[all gasping]

I wouldn't be doing that if I were you, seeing that you are on the naughty list.

Oh, ho, ho.

Santa!

Oh dear!

Just wait until the board hears about this.

To hell with the board. This is my store. I will do what I want.

Starting with firing you.

You can't fire me. Moore won't bail you out without me.

-Then where will you be? -[Tom] We'll be exactly where we want to be.

Now get out.

[all giggling]

Oh!

You are never gonna believe this.

Phillip Morgan from London Cross theater group was here.

And he gave me his card. He loves my voice. Isn't that incredible?

That's amazing! I told you, you just had to find your audience.

I know. I just didn't think I was gonna find it in a department store.

-Oh, my gosh. I'm gonna go talk to him. -Okay.

-Wendy? -Yeah.

Thank you for everything.

I would not have been able to do it without you.

I just-- I hope you'll be staying with us.

Oh, I wish I could.

I-- I have to go back home and take care of my store.

But Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas, Wendy.

[Nick] Okay. There we go.

-Bye, Tom. -Merry Christmas, Grace.

* Christmas is The time we take *

* To say thank you *

Oh! That was Helen on the phone.

She said that Angie is going to London with that new theater troupe.

Oh, that is amazing! I knew she would do it.

[gasps] Mommy, look! Pink skates.

Pink skates! How fancy! How did Santa know?

Oh, Santa knows everything.

Dad would have loved this.

Yeah.

I know you're upset about the store.

But you did everything that you could and just because you let it go, doesn't mean he's gone.

Your father will always be right here with us.

And right now,

I know how very proud of you he is.

I know.

And I'm really glad that the store sold for enough to take care of you.

I always have enough. Stop that.

-[Grace] Mommy? -Yeah.

Can we go skating?

You bet we can go skating. Let's go get changed.

-And you, hot cider when we walk in the door? -Of course.

-Yes. -I'll see you both when you get back.

Let's go.

* Christmas is The time we love *

* To share *

You know, you never told me what your secret wish was for Santa.

-Did it come true? -Not yet.

* --is bringing your heart *

* And forgive those mistakes That you made *

* Christmas is the time-- *

You left before I could give you your bonus.

-Tom, what are you doing here? -I hope it's not too late.

-I thought... -My uncle decided to reinstate the bonuses.

[exhales]

Thank you.

Um,

I don't think it ever would have been enough.

Also, I think it's time to let it go.

Oh!

Well, the bonuses aren't the only thing that Harry's brought back.

He's also drawing up plans for some new departments.

One of them is a candy shop.

-And I thought that we could call it "Carroll's Candy. " -That is so sweet.

One last Christmas wish: that's to have a real Carroll run it.

Me?

Oh! Wow!

I guess both of our Christmas wishes came true.

Almost.

Thank you, Santa.

I see you got your skates.

Why don't we head down to the rink?

Oh no, no. I don't skate though, remember?

I'll teach you.

* You're my Christmas The present neath my tree *

* You're my Christmas The Santa I can see *

* I like the way those reindeer Dance in your eyes *

* You're my Christmas All wrapped in one guy *

* Christmas, you're My Christmas *

* Christmas, you're My Christmas *

* Sure I like to do A little Christmas'n *

* Yes, I kinda like The old food traditions *

* And you know I never dread Candy canes And gingerbread *

* Ooh, but really *

* You're all I need *

* You're my Christmas The present neath my tree *

* You're my Christmas The Santa I can see *

* I like the way those reindeer Dance in your eyes *

* You're my Christmas... *
