Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:10,878 --> 00:00:12,511
Places, everyone.
2
00:00:12,546 --> 00:00:15,714
In five, four, three, two...
3
00:00:20,287 --> 00:00:22,788
My next guest
needs no introduction.
4
00:00:22,823 --> 00:00:24,022
From cookbooks
5
00:00:24,057 --> 00:00:25,623
to a successful line of decor,
6
00:00:25,692 --> 00:00:27,825
her name is synonymous
with home.
7
00:00:27,861 --> 00:00:30,928
She is the Queen of Crafts,
the Dame of Decoupage.
8
00:00:30,964 --> 00:00:32,363
Liz Livingstone!
9
00:00:34,134 --> 00:00:36,434
Dana!
10
00:00:36,469 --> 00:00:39,404
You look amazing.
11
00:00:39,472 --> 00:00:40,638
Merry Christmas.
12
00:00:40,673 --> 00:00:42,306
And you know what,
13
00:00:42,342 --> 00:00:44,053
it will be a merry Christmas
for our audience today
14
00:00:44,077 --> 00:00:46,044
because you're gonna be
showing us how to do
15
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:48,046
a truly show-stopping
gingerbread house!
16
00:00:48,081 --> 00:00:49,613
That's right.
17
00:00:49,681 --> 00:00:51,192
Take a look at all these
wonderful ingredients.
18
00:00:51,216 --> 00:00:53,216
I can do this.
19
00:00:53,285 --> 00:00:54,818
Yeah.
20
00:00:54,853 --> 00:00:56,486
My personal favourite,
jelly beans.
21
00:00:56,522 --> 00:00:59,089
And melted caramel candies
22
00:00:59,124 --> 00:01:01,925
make wonderful
stained glass windows.
23
00:01:01,994 --> 00:01:03,193
Be careful.
They're fragile.
24
00:01:04,296 --> 00:01:05,695
Shoot.
25
00:01:05,731 --> 00:01:07,171
And next...
you're gonna love this...
26
00:01:07,199 --> 00:01:09,766
- I'm making a scalloped roof.
- Okay.
27
00:01:09,802 --> 00:01:11,413
But you can also use
candy wafers for shingles.
28
00:01:11,437 --> 00:01:13,836
No. No-no-no-no!
29
00:01:15,973 --> 00:01:17,640
- How's that?
- Very nice.
30
00:01:17,675 --> 00:01:20,843
And...
31
00:01:20,912 --> 00:01:23,279
finish it all off with a
dusting of powdered sugar.
32
00:01:23,314 --> 00:01:25,281
It's snowing!
33
00:01:25,349 --> 00:01:27,583
Snowing indeed.
34
00:01:27,652 --> 00:01:29,018
You know what?
35
00:01:29,053 --> 00:01:30,364
The most important thing
is to have fun
36
00:01:30,388 --> 00:01:32,254
and make it your own.
37
00:01:32,290 --> 00:01:34,290
Liz, it's perfect.
38
00:01:34,325 --> 00:01:35,858
Perfect.
39
00:01:35,893 --> 00:01:37,237
Be sure to pick up
the latest issue
40

43
00:01:53,477 --> 00:01:54,477
Hi, Mom.
44
00:01:54,511 --> 00:01:55,844
Hurry up, sweetheart.
45
00:01:55,912 --> 00:01:57,713
We're gonna be late
for the party.
46
00:01:57,735 --> 00:01:59,279
Is that flour on your neck?
47
00:02:04,446 --> 00:02:06,657
How did the royal icing
come out this time?
48
00:02:06,722 --> 00:02:07,760
Not so great.
49
00:02:07,856 --> 00:02:10,088
Next time add a splash
of lemon juice.
50
00:02:20,169 --> 00:02:22,736
This is Anna
from Livingstone Magazine
51
00:02:22,771 --> 00:02:25,005
and if you are just joining us,
52
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,074
we are live from the annual
Livingstone Magazine
53
00:02:28,143 --> 00:02:29,775
Christmas party.
54
00:02:29,811 --> 00:02:32,345
And, yes.
55
00:02:32,413 --> 00:02:35,915
Those are Liz's signature
snowflake pancakes.
56
00:02:35,950 --> 00:02:38,317
Hello, everyone.
57
00:02:38,353 --> 00:02:42,755
Welcome to the 21st annual
Livingstone Christmas party.
58
00:02:42,790 --> 00:02:44,257
Woo!
59
00:02:44,292 --> 00:02:45,925
We are here to celebrate
60
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,561
another wonderful year
at the Livingstone company,
61
00:02:48,596 --> 00:02:52,465
and it is my honour to introduce
the woman of the hour,
62
00:02:52,499 --> 00:02:54,699
our fearless leader
63
00:02:54,768 --> 00:02:58,270
and my mom, Liz Livingstone.
64
00:03:04,178 --> 00:03:06,144
Thank you, Candace.
65
00:03:06,180 --> 00:03:10,282
Well, this has always been
my favourite event of the year.
66
00:03:10,317 --> 00:03:14,052
I get to show my true gratitude
to all of you
67
00:03:14,087 --> 00:03:16,154
who make this company
what it is.
68
00:03:16,190 --> 00:03:17,821
And to our board of directors,
69
00:03:17,857 --> 00:03:20,457
along with
our wonderful chairman,
70
00:03:20,493 --> 00:03:22,560
James Carlyle, who flew in
all the way from Chicago
71
00:03:22,595 --> 00:03:25,829
to be with us here
to celebrate tonight.
72
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,366
I say thank you.
73
00:03:37,176 --> 00:03:39,121
There was an announcement
that I was planning on saving
74
00:03:39,145 --> 00:03:41,645
until the new year
but with you here, together,
75
00:03:41,681 --> 00:03:44,414
I think this might be
the right time after all.
76
00:03:46,451 --> 00:03:49,052
This will be my last year
as acting CEO.
77
00:03:49,087 --> 00:03:52,222
I'm stepping away but I know it will be
in good hands with all of you.
78
00:03:52,290 --> 00:03:55,992
So, let's make this next year
the best one yet.
79
00:03:57,662 --> 00:03:58,861
Merry Christmas to you all.
80
00:04:09,306 --> 00:04:10,772
You're retiring?
81
00:04:10,808 --> 00:04:12,419
Well, I've been thinking
about it for a while now.
82
00:04:12,443 --> 00:04:14,209
And it just feels like
the right time.
83
00:04:14,245 --> 00:04:16,645
What's the Livingstone brand
without Liz Livingstone?
84
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,180
I agree.
85
00:04:18,215 --> 00:04:21,083
The Livingstone brand
needs a Livingstone,
86
00:04:21,118 --> 00:04:23,752
which is why I'm suggesting you
as my replacement.
87
00:04:23,787 --> 00:04:24,787
Me?
88
00:04:24,855 --> 00:04:26,255
Well, who better?
89
00:04:26,323 --> 00:04:28,490
You've been at the magazine
for five years,
90
00:04:28,525 --> 00:04:30,626
you know the business side
inside and out.
91
00:04:30,661 --> 00:04:33,628
Well, yeah, but working
behind the scenes though
92
00:04:33,663 --> 00:04:36,998
is worlds different than being
the face of the entire brand!
93
00:04:37,033 --> 00:04:41,535
I've always dreamed that
you would take over from me.
94
00:04:41,604 --> 00:04:43,437
I built this for you, Candace.
95
00:04:47,644 --> 00:04:48,854
Well, not exactly
the announcement
96
00:04:48,878 --> 00:04:51,178
they were expecting.
97
00:04:51,214 --> 00:04:53,848
I better go
put some minds at ease.
98
00:04:53,883 --> 00:04:55,750
I'll be back in a moment.
99
00:05:04,226 --> 00:05:07,160
How are we gonna replace her?
100
00:05:08,730 --> 00:05:09,996
I'm not sure that we can.
101
00:05:10,032 --> 00:05:13,433
She's someone
that people really admire.
102
00:05:13,502 --> 00:05:15,468
You know, when they buy
her cookie cutters
103
00:05:15,504 --> 00:05:17,937
or try one of the recipes
from the magazine,
104
00:05:17,973 --> 00:05:19,083
what they're really trying to do
105
00:05:19,107 --> 00:05:20,118
is they're trying to be...
106
00:05:20,142 --> 00:05:22,374
Be just like her.
107
00:05:22,410 --> 00:05:25,544
Exactly.
108
00:05:25,579 --> 00:05:28,981
And that is a tough act
to follow.
109
00:05:29,016 --> 00:05:30,316
Oh, I agree.
110
00:05:36,857 --> 00:05:38,691
Are you okay?
111
00:05:56,976 --> 00:05:58,376
You know what?
112
00:05:58,411 --> 00:05:59,855
I feel like the shadows
are a little harsh.
113
00:05:59,879 --> 00:06:01,490
Do you think we could diffuse
the light a bit?
114
00:06:01,514 --> 00:06:02,514
Okay.
115
00:06:02,549 --> 00:06:03,848
And in here,
116
00:06:03,883 --> 00:06:05,261
Candace is overseeing
the photo shoot.
117
00:06:05,285 --> 00:06:07,352
A four course Christmas dinner.
118
00:06:07,420 --> 00:06:10,455
And it looks delicious,
119
00:06:10,523 --> 00:06:12,823
but hasn't the Christmas edition
already gone to print?
120
00:06:12,858 --> 00:06:14,358
Yes.
This is for the website.
121
00:06:14,393 --> 00:06:15,892
Our readers
will be able to click
122
00:06:15,961 --> 00:06:19,329
on any item in the photo
and go to a video tutorial.
123
00:06:19,365 --> 00:06:21,732
What's this?
This is spectacular!
124
00:06:21,767 --> 00:06:23,800
Well, we're gonna be
shooting this next.
125
00:06:23,836 --> 00:06:25,268
All of our social media accounts
126
00:06:25,337 --> 00:06:26,715
are going to have
a gingerbread house a day
127
00:06:26,739 --> 00:06:27,804
to countdown to Christmas.
128
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:29,639
I made Christmas Eve
129
00:06:29,675 --> 00:06:31,441
and Candace's will be
Christmas Day.
130
00:06:31,477 --> 00:06:32,943
- You made one too?
- Yes.
131
00:06:32,978 --> 00:06:34,211
I would love to see it.
132
00:06:34,246 --> 00:06:35,946
It's not quite finished yet.
133
00:06:36,014 --> 00:06:37,558
Perfectionist?
Just like your mother?
134
00:06:37,582 --> 00:06:40,850
Yeah.
135
00:06:40,885 --> 00:06:42,730
Where do you want the
Christmas Day gingerbread house?
136
00:06:42,754 --> 00:06:45,955
You can leave it
right there. That's fine.
137
00:06:48,025 --> 00:06:49,025
This?
138
00:06:50,962 --> 00:06:52,039
This is your gingerbread house?
139
00:06:52,063 --> 00:06:54,130
Yes, well...
140
00:06:54,165 --> 00:06:55,442
It was a bit of a rough ride
over here
141
00:06:55,466 --> 00:06:56,899
in the cab this morning.
142
00:06:56,934 --> 00:06:58,734
It was... a lot of potholes.
143
00:07:04,674 --> 00:07:06,775
I...
144
00:07:06,810 --> 00:07:09,244
I... I like
the peppermint wreath.
145
00:07:11,448 --> 00:07:12,759
I think it has
a lot of character.
146
00:07:12,783 --> 00:07:15,784
It just needs
a little sprucing up.
147
00:07:36,172 --> 00:07:37,571
- Candace.
- Yeah?
148
00:07:37,606 --> 00:07:38,872
Do you have a minute?
149
00:07:38,908 --> 00:07:40,352
There's something
I think you'll wanna see.
150
00:07:40,376 --> 00:07:41,675
Sure.
151
00:07:46,048 --> 00:07:48,449
This was posted yesterday.
152
00:07:48,517 --> 00:07:51,317
It has been shared
nearly 30,000 times since then.
153
00:07:51,352 --> 00:07:52,985
Hi, Mrs. Livingstone.
154
00:07:53,021 --> 00:07:54,954
My name is Harper
and I'm a really big fan.
155
00:07:54,989 --> 00:07:57,290
My dad is currently
stationed overseas.
156
00:07:57,325 --> 00:07:58,758
He's in the army
157
00:07:58,793 --> 00:08:00,404
and whenever we send him
a care package,
158
00:08:00,428 --> 00:08:02,562
we always include
Livingstone ginger snaps.
159
00:08:02,630 --> 00:08:06,432
He said it reminds him
of being here with all of us.
160
00:08:06,468 --> 00:08:08,348
I'm making this video
because I just found out
161
00:08:08,403 --> 00:08:11,370
that my dad will be coming home
on December 20th,
162
00:08:11,406 --> 00:08:13,005
just in time for Christmas!
163
00:08:13,041 --> 00:08:15,974
So we're throwing him
a welcome home party
164
00:08:16,009 --> 00:08:17,876
and I really want it
to be perfect,
165
00:08:17,945 --> 00:08:20,712
and I know you're the
one person who could help us.
166
00:08:20,747 --> 00:08:22,514
So, if you can make it,
167
00:08:22,549 --> 00:08:25,684
I know it would be
just the best surprise ever!
168
00:08:28,722 --> 00:08:30,255
A real hero's welcome.
169
00:08:30,290 --> 00:08:32,035
You could be there
to greet him with the family!
170
00:08:32,059 --> 00:08:34,459
And maybe you could even make
those cookies that he loves.
171
00:08:34,528 --> 00:08:36,072
And then we could feature
this whole trip
172
00:08:36,096 --> 00:08:38,129
in next month's issue.
173
00:08:38,165 --> 00:08:40,465
I think it's a terrific idea.
174
00:08:40,501 --> 00:08:42,566
No. Wait.
175
00:08:42,602 --> 00:08:45,369
I'm gonna be in Aspen
at the charity fundraiser.
176
00:08:45,404 --> 00:08:47,671
I'm already committed.
177
00:08:49,542 --> 00:08:51,942
- You could go.
- Alone?
178
00:08:51,978 --> 00:08:53,477
You could take Anna!
179
00:08:53,513 --> 00:08:55,246
It sounds like a lot of people
180
00:08:55,281 --> 00:08:58,749
are following this story
on social media.
181
00:08:58,784 --> 00:09:00,251
We could give them
a happy ending.
182
00:09:00,286 --> 00:09:01,886
But she asked for you, Mom.
183
00:09:01,921 --> 00:09:03,287
If you're gonna
take over from me,
184
00:09:03,322 --> 00:09:04,822
we're gonna have to get
the approval
185
00:09:04,857 --> 00:09:06,189
of the board of directors
186
00:09:06,258 --> 00:09:09,692
and currently,
they have some reservations.
187
00:09:09,728 --> 00:09:12,662
This would go a long way in
showing them that you're ready.
188
00:09:13,865 --> 00:09:15,698
Okay.
189
00:09:37,321 --> 00:09:38,520
We're here.
190
00:09:38,556 --> 00:09:40,956
That's a lot of notes.
191
00:09:40,991 --> 00:09:42,624
This is just the menu.
192
00:09:42,660 --> 00:09:44,426
Look at this.
She even drew diagrams.
193
00:09:44,461 --> 00:09:45,661
At least you're well prepared.
194
00:09:48,566 --> 00:09:50,165
All right.
195
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,534
Let's do this.
196
00:09:55,905 --> 00:09:57,138
I don't know, though.
197
00:09:57,206 --> 00:09:58,684
Do you think maybe
we should've called first?
198
00:09:58,708 --> 00:10:00,675
No, the surprise
is part of the fun.
199
00:10:00,710 --> 00:10:03,010
This way we'll get a real,
genuine reaction from them.
200
00:10:03,046 --> 00:10:04,712
All right.
201
00:10:04,781 --> 00:10:07,782
What if that real, genuine
reaction is disappointment?
202
00:10:09,719 --> 00:10:12,253
They're gonna be
so excited to see you.
203
00:10:12,322 --> 00:10:13,721
Just watch.
204
00:10:13,756 --> 00:10:15,022
Okay.
205
00:10:18,995 --> 00:10:22,028
Wait, wait. Wait.
206
00:10:22,064 --> 00:10:23,263
Okay, you ready?
207
00:10:23,298 --> 00:10:24,531
- Remember to smile.
- Okay.
208
00:10:30,772 --> 00:10:32,472
Hello, can I help you?
209
00:10:32,541 --> 00:10:34,074
Yes, hi.
I'm here to see Harper.
210
00:10:34,109 --> 00:10:36,109
- I'm Candace Liv...
- Livingstone!
211
00:10:36,178 --> 00:10:38,578
Liz's daughter, of course!
212
00:10:38,647 --> 00:10:41,815
Yes, yes, I recognize you
from the magazine!
213
00:10:41,850 --> 00:10:43,350
Come in, come in.
214
00:10:43,385 --> 00:10:44,385
Okay.
215
00:10:44,419 --> 00:10:45,851
Come on.
216
00:10:47,421 --> 00:10:48,721
Thank you.
217
00:10:48,756 --> 00:10:50,823
She will be over the moon
to see you!
218
00:10:50,858 --> 00:10:53,325
I told her that the video
was a long shot
219
00:10:53,361 --> 00:10:55,394
but she was so determined
220
00:10:55,429 --> 00:10:57,463
to make her father's homecoming
extra special.
221
00:10:59,333 --> 00:11:01,634
This is a lovely home.
222
00:11:01,669 --> 00:11:02,901
Would it be possible
223
00:11:02,970 --> 00:11:04,436
to open these curtains?
224
00:11:04,472 --> 00:11:05,949
I think the natural light
would help the shot.
225
00:11:05,973 --> 00:11:07,773
This is Anna.
226
00:11:07,808 --> 00:11:10,108
She's our social media manager
for the magazine.
227
00:11:10,143 --> 00:11:11,821
She's gonna be taking
some photos and videos
228
00:11:11,845 --> 00:11:13,122
of the homecoming
if you don't mind?
229
00:11:13,146 --> 00:11:15,013
Well, of course!
230
00:11:16,650 --> 00:11:17,915
I'll just get Harper.
231
00:11:17,951 --> 00:11:19,295
- She's upstairs with her mother.
- Okay.
232
00:11:19,319 --> 00:11:22,587
Oh, please,
make yourselves at home.
233
00:11:22,622 --> 00:11:23,755
Thank you.
234
00:11:26,526 --> 00:11:28,126
See? You had nothing
to worry about.
235
00:11:32,932 --> 00:11:36,433
This must be Harper's dad.
236
00:11:36,502 --> 00:11:38,535
You came! You really came!
237
00:11:38,570 --> 00:11:40,537
Hi, Harper!
How are you, honey?
238
00:11:40,606 --> 00:11:42,339
So nice to meet you.
239
00:11:42,408 --> 00:11:43,551
This is Jane,
my daughter-in-law.
240
00:11:43,575 --> 00:11:44,541
- Hi.
- Harper's mother.
241
00:11:44,576 --> 00:11:45,809
Hi!
242
00:11:45,878 --> 00:11:49,413
I can't believe
you're actually here!
243
00:11:49,481 --> 00:11:51,048
Well, we saw Harper's video
244
00:11:51,116 --> 00:11:53,350
and we wanted to be a part
of this very special day.
245
00:11:53,419 --> 00:11:55,252
I have a surprise for you.
246
00:11:55,287 --> 00:11:59,522
Here is... a box
247
00:11:59,557 --> 00:12:01,891
of my mother's famous
homemade ginger snap cookies.
248
00:12:01,959 --> 00:12:03,871
And she's very sorry that
she couldn't be here today.
249
00:12:03,895 --> 00:12:05,761
She really wanted to come.
250
00:12:05,797 --> 00:12:07,296
It's okay. You're here!
251
00:12:07,331 --> 00:12:09,098
Well, we have boxes
252
00:12:09,133 --> 00:12:11,367
of decorations
and desserts in the car
253
00:12:11,402 --> 00:12:12,935
so that we can help you plan
254
00:12:12,970 --> 00:12:14,348
your picture perfect
Christmas party.
255
00:12:14,372 --> 00:12:17,006
Well, you've come
at the perfect time!
256
00:12:17,041 --> 00:12:19,141
Steve's not due back
for another couple of hours
257
00:12:19,177 --> 00:12:21,310
and we've only just started
getting ready. So...
258
00:12:21,379 --> 00:12:22,778
We're gonna bake him a cake
259
00:12:22,847 --> 00:12:24,527
and when he gets here
we're all gonna hide!
260
00:12:25,716 --> 00:12:27,649
Harper's been
planning this for weeks.
261
00:12:27,684 --> 00:12:30,618
She's worked so hard
to make it a surprise.
262
00:12:30,654 --> 00:12:32,174
That'll be the cake!
263
00:12:32,222 --> 00:12:35,190
I am gonna go to the car
and get some more boxes.
264
00:12:45,535 --> 00:12:47,035
No, no, no.
265
00:12:47,070 --> 00:12:48,837
No, you're not supposed
to be here yet.
266
00:12:48,872 --> 00:12:50,370
I'm sorry?
267
00:12:50,406 --> 00:12:52,350
Look, I don't have time
to explain right now
268
00:12:52,374 --> 00:12:54,074
but I need you
to get back in your car
269
00:12:54,110 --> 00:12:55,950
and just drive around
for maybe like 15 minutes
270
00:12:55,978 --> 00:12:57,745
and then when you come back,
act surprised.
271
00:12:57,780 --> 00:12:59,257
Just... let's...
hold on a second here.
272
00:12:59,281 --> 00:13:00,281
Who are you?
273
00:13:00,316 --> 00:13:01,348
I'm Candace!
274
00:13:01,383 --> 00:13:03,217
Livingstone.
275
00:13:03,285 --> 00:13:05,786
My mom is Liz Livingstone?
You love her cookies?
276
00:13:05,821 --> 00:13:07,621
You're selling cookies.
277
00:13:07,656 --> 00:13:09,389
No, no... No, I'm not
selling anything.
278
00:13:09,425 --> 00:13:11,391
So you're giving them away.
279
00:13:11,427 --> 00:13:12,493
There are no cookies.
280
00:13:12,528 --> 00:13:14,127
It's... I'm here, for you.
281
00:13:14,162 --> 00:13:15,561
You're here for me?
282
00:13:15,597 --> 00:13:16,597
Yeah. I'm your surprise.
283
00:13:16,631 --> 00:13:17,631
Surprise!
284
00:13:17,665 --> 00:13:18,898
Uncle John!
285
00:13:18,933 --> 00:13:21,067
Hey, Harp!
286
00:13:21,102 --> 00:13:22,869
How are ya?!
287
00:13:22,904 --> 00:13:24,504
Look who's here.
It's Candace.
288
00:13:24,539 --> 00:13:26,117
I sent a video to help
surprise Dad, and she came!
289
00:13:26,141 --> 00:13:28,374
This is my uncle John.
290
00:13:28,443 --> 00:13:29,742
- There we go.
- Yes.
291
00:13:29,778 --> 00:13:31,077
- Hi.
- Hi.
292
00:13:31,112 --> 00:13:32,556
- Nice to meet you.
- Yeah, you as well.
293
00:13:32,580 --> 00:13:34,447
I'm so sorry.
I thought you were Steve.
294
00:13:34,516 --> 00:13:36,048
Right.
295
00:13:36,084 --> 00:13:37,216
Younger brother.
296
00:13:37,252 --> 00:13:38,451
I get that a lot.
297
00:13:38,486 --> 00:13:39,486
Yeah.
298
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:40,585
Hey, is Grandma home?
299
00:13:40,621 --> 00:13:41,953
She's in the kitchen.
300
00:13:41,989 --> 00:13:43,299
Come on, you need to see
the cake we made!
301
00:13:43,323 --> 00:13:44,856
Okay. I'm comin' in
right away!
302
00:13:44,892 --> 00:13:46,224
That is, if it's okay with you.
303
00:13:46,260 --> 00:13:47,993
Of course.
Please, be my guest.
304
00:13:48,028 --> 00:13:49,161
I'm allowed now.
305
00:13:49,196 --> 00:13:50,829
- You are allowed, yes.
- That's good.
306
00:13:50,864 --> 00:13:53,098
I did a great job, Candace.
307
00:13:53,133 --> 00:13:54,833
You know, in my defence,
308
00:13:54,902 --> 00:13:56,701
that picture
was very misleading.
309
00:14:02,509 --> 00:14:06,310
- What's going on?
- Steve's flight was delayed.
310
00:14:07,647 --> 00:14:09,815
- What time does he get in?
- Thursday.
311
00:14:09,849 --> 00:14:13,017
Thursday. That's...
That's Christmas Eve.
312
00:14:13,052 --> 00:14:14,451
I'm sorry.
313
00:14:14,487 --> 00:14:16,253
Seems you came
all this way for nothing.
314
00:14:16,289 --> 00:14:17,922
Don't apologize.
315
00:14:17,957 --> 00:14:20,090
I'm glad I got to come out here
and meet you all.
316
00:14:20,126 --> 00:14:22,526
No, but you can't go!
We need you!
317
00:14:22,562 --> 00:14:24,094
Are you gonna come back?
318
00:14:24,163 --> 00:14:26,363
Harper, we can't ask Candace
319
00:14:26,399 --> 00:14:28,998
to give us any more time
from her busy schedule.
320
00:14:29,034 --> 00:14:31,267
Popping in today was already
incredibly generous.
321
00:14:31,303 --> 00:14:33,036
Martha?
322
00:14:33,071 --> 00:14:36,005
I'm sorry to drop in unannounced
323
00:14:36,041 --> 00:14:37,218
but everyone down
at the town hall...
324
00:14:37,242 --> 00:14:39,475
- Hey. You want some coffee?
- Yeah.
325
00:14:39,511 --> 00:14:42,278
...chipped in to buy Steve
a little welcome home gift.
326
00:14:42,314 --> 00:14:43,413
Is he here?
327
00:14:43,448 --> 00:14:45,548
Thank you, that is very kind
328
00:14:45,584 --> 00:14:48,651
but I'm afraid there's been
a slight change of plans.
329
00:14:48,687 --> 00:14:50,954
Steve won't be back
until Christmas Eve.
330
00:14:50,989 --> 00:14:54,656
- That's too bad.
- Thanks.
331
00:14:58,028 --> 00:15:00,662
This is Candace Livingstone!
332
00:15:00,698 --> 00:15:03,866
And Candace, this is
our beloved Mayor Walsh.
333
00:15:03,934 --> 00:15:06,168
I thought you looked familiar.
334
00:15:06,237 --> 00:15:10,339
I'm a big fan of your magazine.
335
00:15:10,374 --> 00:15:12,408
- I'm very pleased to meet you!
- Yes, you too.
336
00:15:13,844 --> 00:15:15,355
Candace was here
helping with Steve's party.
337
00:15:15,379 --> 00:15:19,046
So does this mean you'll be sticking
around our little town for a while?
338
00:15:19,082 --> 00:15:20,815
Can you?
339
00:15:20,850 --> 00:15:23,117
Well, you've come all this way.
340
00:15:23,152 --> 00:15:24,719
Let us extend to you
341
00:15:24,754 --> 00:15:28,122
some good, old-fashioned
Cedar Falls hospitality.
342
00:15:29,192 --> 00:15:30,491
Well, I wouldn't want you
343
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,126
to go to all that trouble
just for me.
344
00:15:32,195 --> 00:15:36,564
Our town takes great pride
in its Christmas calendar.
345
00:15:36,633 --> 00:15:38,466
In fact, there's a lot
of wonderful events
346
00:15:38,501 --> 00:15:40,301
that I think will be
right up your alley.
347
00:15:42,238 --> 00:15:43,270
How so?
348
00:15:43,305 --> 00:15:47,274
Well, the crafts fair,
the cookie stand,
349
00:15:47,342 --> 00:15:49,843
the gingerbread house
competition.
350
00:15:51,647 --> 00:15:55,382
I would like for you to attend
them all as my guest of honour!
351
00:15:57,352 --> 00:15:59,052
Please, Candace?
352
00:16:04,359 --> 00:16:05,458
Who could say no to that?
353
00:16:07,129 --> 00:16:09,061
Wonderful! Wonderful!
354
00:16:09,096 --> 00:16:12,898
We are going to make the next
four days ones you'll never forget!
355
00:16:12,967 --> 00:16:14,466
I'm sure!
356
00:16:22,209 --> 00:16:24,388
Hey, Mom. Just give me a call
back whenever you get this.
357
00:16:24,412 --> 00:16:26,278
Okay?
Talk to you later.
358
00:16:30,484 --> 00:16:32,062
That was really nice,
what you did back there.
359
00:16:32,086 --> 00:16:33,284
Offering to stay for Harper.
360
00:16:33,353 --> 00:16:34,430
It's kinda hard to tell her no.
361
00:16:34,454 --> 00:16:35,887
Oh, believe me. I know.
362
00:16:35,922 --> 00:16:37,789
Last week I took her
to get a Christmas tree
363
00:16:37,824 --> 00:16:39,735
and we came back with ornaments
for the entire family
364
00:16:39,759 --> 00:16:41,039
and a pound of peppermint fudge.
365
00:16:42,228 --> 00:16:43,428
Is this it?
366
00:16:43,463 --> 00:16:45,196
That's the one.
The Inn on Holly Drive.
367
00:16:45,231 --> 00:16:47,899
You turn left by the town hall.
You can't miss it.
368
00:16:47,934 --> 00:16:50,134
They make their own egg nog.
Highly recommended.
369
00:16:50,170 --> 00:16:52,670
You should both come over
tomorrow for breakfast.
370
00:16:52,706 --> 00:16:54,906
Oh, gosh, I...
wouldn't wanna put you out.
371
00:16:54,941 --> 00:16:56,619
You wouldn't be putting us out.
We'd love to have you!
372
00:16:56,643 --> 00:16:58,775
Well, all right then.
We will be here.
373
00:16:58,844 --> 00:17:02,045
I hope I'll be seeing you too.
374
00:17:02,081 --> 00:17:03,425
We have the gingerbread
competition
375
00:17:03,449 --> 00:17:05,015
and then we'll be
decorating the tree.
376
00:17:05,084 --> 00:17:07,128
Sorry, I can't. I gotta get
to the paper early tomorrow.
377
00:17:07,152 --> 00:17:08,585
I thought it was your day off.
378
00:17:08,620 --> 00:17:10,065
When have you ever known him
to take a day off?
379
00:17:10,089 --> 00:17:11,989
- The paper?
- Yeah. John's a reporter
380
00:17:12,024 --> 00:17:13,991
...at the Cedar Falls Gazette.
381
00:17:14,026 --> 00:17:16,293
Well, I hope you'll have time
for the festival.
382
00:17:16,328 --> 00:17:17,361
You can't miss that.
383
00:17:17,429 --> 00:17:19,296
I will try.
384
00:17:19,331 --> 00:17:20,364
Scout's honour.
385
00:17:20,399 --> 00:17:22,932
Promise.
386
00:17:23,001 --> 00:17:24,900
- It was nice to meet you.
- You too.
387
00:17:24,969 --> 00:17:26,535
And we'll see you guys later.
388
00:17:26,571 --> 00:17:27,703
- Okay.
- All right.
389
00:17:27,772 --> 00:17:28,938
I can take that.
390
00:17:28,973 --> 00:17:30,117
You wanna go back in?
It's cold!
391
00:17:30,141 --> 00:17:31,440
- All right, you ready?
- Bye!
392
00:17:37,648 --> 00:17:39,181
- Hello.
- Hi.
393
00:17:39,217 --> 00:17:40,616
Welcome to the Inn
on Holly Drive.
394
00:17:40,651 --> 00:17:41,651
The name, please?
395
00:17:41,686 --> 00:17:42,952
Livingstone.
396
00:17:42,987 --> 00:17:45,621
I actually don't have
any reservations.
397
00:17:45,690 --> 00:17:48,023
I was wondering if you might
have two rooms available
398
00:17:48,058 --> 00:17:49,224
for the next four nights?
399
00:17:49,292 --> 00:17:50,658
I realize it's last minute,
400
00:17:50,694 --> 00:17:52,927
but the trip
was a little unexpected.
401
00:17:52,963 --> 00:17:56,464
You're in luck, Miss...
Livingstone?
402
00:17:58,835 --> 00:18:01,236
Candace Livingstone.
Liz Livingstone's daughter!
403
00:18:01,304 --> 00:18:03,471
Yeah, that's me.
404
00:18:03,507 --> 00:18:06,007
How exciting!
405
00:18:07,577 --> 00:18:09,177
A celebrity in our little town!
406
00:18:09,212 --> 00:18:10,745
Wait right there.
407
00:18:15,551 --> 00:18:16,984
Hey!
408
00:18:17,019 --> 00:18:18,152
Flights are rescheduled.
409
00:18:18,220 --> 00:18:19,386
Do they have any open rooms?
410
00:18:19,422 --> 00:18:21,422
Look, we have your pillows.
411
00:18:21,457 --> 00:18:23,490
Yes, you do.
412
00:18:23,526 --> 00:18:28,028
Your mother just has
the most amazing taste.
413
00:18:28,097 --> 00:18:31,098
In, well, everything!
414
00:18:31,133 --> 00:18:34,501
But of course,
you need reservations.
415
00:18:34,537 --> 00:18:35,702
Let's get you in the book.
416
00:18:35,738 --> 00:18:39,105
Livingstone...
417
00:18:40,475 --> 00:18:43,443
All right.
418
00:18:43,478 --> 00:18:45,278
Follow me and I'll show you
to your rooms.
419
00:18:45,346 --> 00:18:46,346
Okay.
420
00:18:46,381 --> 00:18:47,381
You can keep the pillow.
421
00:18:49,851 --> 00:18:51,918
There you go.
422
00:18:57,192 --> 00:19:01,494
We spotlight different traditions
from different countries.
423
00:19:01,529 --> 00:19:03,128
Christmas across the globe.
424
00:19:03,163 --> 00:19:06,331
We're a local paper, John.
We cover local stories.
425
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:07,777
Right, but it's a big world
out there.
426
00:19:07,801 --> 00:19:09,279
I mean, don't you think
we should be bringing
427
00:19:09,303 --> 00:19:11,436
a little bit of that
into our readers' homes?
428
00:19:11,505 --> 00:19:13,171
We have a travel section.
429
00:19:13,207 --> 00:19:15,474
Betsy just got back
from Niagara Falls.
430
00:19:15,509 --> 00:19:17,976
In fact, she's got a wonderful
write-up in today's edition.
431
00:19:18,011 --> 00:19:20,479
Pictures, too.
432
00:19:20,547 --> 00:19:22,325
What about that winter
tournament basketball game...
433
00:19:22,349 --> 00:19:24,049
- ....I gave you?
- It's on your desk.
434
00:19:24,084 --> 00:19:26,184
- And the booster club fundraiser?
- Finished, Ben.
435
00:19:26,220 --> 00:19:27,751
I'm a good reporter.
436
00:19:27,787 --> 00:19:30,154
I know I could be
doing bigger things.
437
00:19:30,223 --> 00:19:32,289
What about Candace Livingstone?
438
00:19:32,358 --> 00:19:35,025
Livingstone.
439
00:19:35,061 --> 00:19:37,294
The... the...
Queen of the Crafts lady?
440
00:19:37,330 --> 00:19:38,662
Her daughter.
441
00:19:38,698 --> 00:19:40,598
My niece sent in a video
asking her to come
442
00:19:40,633 --> 00:19:44,902
and help welcome my brother Steve
home for Christmas and she came.
443
00:19:44,937 --> 00:19:47,505
Tell me more.
444
00:19:52,410 --> 00:19:54,110
Anna sent me that video.
445
00:19:54,146 --> 00:19:56,279
You made
that little girl's year.
446
00:19:56,314 --> 00:19:57,847
Mom, what is all that banging?
447
00:19:57,883 --> 00:19:59,382
I thought you were
at the ski lodge.
448
00:20:00,685 --> 00:20:02,285
Well, I was talking to the owner
449
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,487
and he said he'd never had
an almond dacquoise.
450
00:20:04,523 --> 00:20:06,489
Well I happened to have
a wonderful recipe
451
00:20:06,558 --> 00:20:07,602
so I thought I'd whip one off.
452
00:20:07,626 --> 00:20:08,725
Of course you did.
453
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:09,959
That's a sponge cake, right?
454
00:20:09,995 --> 00:20:12,095
No, sweetheart.
That's a Genoise.
455
00:20:12,164 --> 00:20:14,297
Just a sec.
456
00:20:14,332 --> 00:20:16,177
You're going to carefully
fold that into the chocolate.
457
00:20:16,201 --> 00:20:18,267
Thank you.
So...
458
00:20:18,302 --> 00:20:20,369
I had a fabulous idea.
459
00:20:20,404 --> 00:20:21,804
Instead of going back
to the office,
460
00:20:21,839 --> 00:20:23,405
why don't you fly out here?
461
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:24,985
There's a few people
I'd like you to meet.
462
00:20:25,009 --> 00:20:26,686
Well, there's been
a slight change of plans.
463
00:20:26,710 --> 00:20:28,477
- I'm staying.
- You're staying?
464
00:20:28,512 --> 00:20:31,780
Yeah. Harper's dad Steve doesn't
get in until Christmas Eve now
465
00:20:31,815 --> 00:20:34,583
so that's actually
why I was calling.
466
00:20:34,618 --> 00:20:36,885
I was hoping maybe
you could meet me tomorrow?
467
00:20:36,954 --> 00:20:38,887
Sweetheart, I'd love to
but they've asked me
468
00:20:38,956 --> 00:20:40,589
to stay on
an extra couple of days.
469
00:20:40,624 --> 00:20:42,557
They're auctioning off
a lunch with me.
470
00:20:43,626 --> 00:20:45,126
Listen.
471
00:20:45,195 --> 00:20:48,362
I'll do my best
to get there as soon as I can.
472
00:20:48,398 --> 00:20:49,475
Just hold down the fort, okay?
473
00:20:49,499 --> 00:20:50,698
Okay.
474
00:20:50,767 --> 00:20:51,767
Hey.
475
00:20:51,801 --> 00:20:53,067
I love you.
476
00:20:53,102 --> 00:20:54,302
Bye, Mom.
477
00:20:54,337 --> 00:20:55,636
Bye.
478
00:20:59,108 --> 00:21:01,075
My mom said that she'll be here
as soon as she can
479
00:21:01,144 --> 00:21:03,678
but for now we're on our own.
480
00:21:03,713 --> 00:21:05,746
Did I just make a huge mistake?
481
00:21:05,782 --> 00:21:07,280
So we're here
for a few extra days.
482
00:21:07,316 --> 00:21:09,249
What could go wrong?
483
00:21:10,886 --> 00:21:12,953
Candace. Candace, will you
sign my cookbook, please?
484
00:21:12,988 --> 00:21:14,854
Mrs. Deevers,
485
00:21:14,890 --> 00:21:17,157
did you tell people
that I was staying here?
486
00:21:17,192 --> 00:21:20,093
Of course not.
487
00:21:20,128 --> 00:21:22,929
But word travels fast
in a small town.
488
00:21:27,302 --> 00:21:28,835
It might be good for the site.
489
00:21:28,904 --> 00:21:30,870
- Will you sign my cookbook please?
- Absolutely.
490
00:21:30,906 --> 00:21:32,938
Your mom is amazing.
I love her.
491
00:21:33,007 --> 00:21:34,540
This is amazing.
492
00:21:44,052 --> 00:21:46,518
Candace?
Are you okay?
493
00:21:47,555 --> 00:21:49,054
What am I gonna do?
494
00:21:49,123 --> 00:21:52,625
It is one thing to take
some pictures with a family
495
00:21:52,660 --> 00:21:54,426
with a carefully written
set of instructions
496
00:21:54,462 --> 00:21:55,906
but it a whole other
to be the guest of honour
497
00:21:55,930 --> 00:21:57,406
at some entire town's
Christmas festival!
498
00:21:57,430 --> 00:21:58,663
You could always cancel.
499
00:21:58,698 --> 00:22:02,000
- I can't do that!
- Why not?
500
00:22:02,035 --> 00:22:03,601
Because my mother
is recommending me
501
00:22:03,637 --> 00:22:04,637
as her replacement
502
00:22:04,671 --> 00:22:06,371
and she wants me
to use this trip
503
00:22:06,406 --> 00:22:08,117
to make a good impression
on the board of directors.
504
00:22:08,141 --> 00:22:12,076
She has built her entire legacy
on perfection and I...
505
00:22:12,145 --> 00:22:13,845
...I'm anything but!
506
00:22:15,382 --> 00:22:16,681
Nobody expects you
to be perfect.
507
00:22:16,750 --> 00:22:18,950
Cedar Falls certainly does!
508
00:22:22,321 --> 00:22:24,288
You know my mom's
snowflake pancakes?
509
00:22:24,323 --> 00:22:25,323
Yeah, of course!
510
00:22:25,357 --> 00:22:26,456
Who doesn't?
511
00:22:27,860 --> 00:22:31,862
Okay. She used to make those
for me and my dad every Christmas.
512
00:22:31,897 --> 00:22:34,197
Well, one Christmas
she had the flu.
513
00:22:34,233 --> 00:22:36,199
So I thought I would go
downstairs to the kitchen
514
00:22:36,235 --> 00:22:38,001
and surprise everybody
and make them myself.
515
00:22:38,037 --> 00:22:39,336
What happened?
516
00:22:39,371 --> 00:22:41,972
I burnt the whole first batch!
517
00:22:42,007 --> 00:22:43,874
The second batch
was completely lumpy.
518
00:22:43,909 --> 00:22:46,342
The third batch
was the worst one of all!
519
00:22:46,377 --> 00:22:49,512
Well, kids burn things
all the time.
520
00:22:49,547 --> 00:22:51,314
Anna, I was 17.
521
00:22:51,349 --> 00:22:53,282
What did your mother say?
522
00:22:54,385 --> 00:22:56,585
I never told her!
523
00:22:56,621 --> 00:22:58,032
I mean, I'm the Liz
Livingstone's daughter
524
00:22:58,056 --> 00:23:01,490
and I can't even make a pancake?
525
00:23:01,526 --> 00:23:03,292
I was so embarrassed!
526
00:23:03,328 --> 00:23:06,162
And she always made this
look so easy!
527
00:23:06,230 --> 00:23:09,398
It just never was for me.
528
00:23:10,535 --> 00:23:12,000
What I'm saying
529
00:23:12,035 --> 00:23:13,813
is that the more time
I spend here in Cedar Falls
530
00:23:13,837 --> 00:23:15,503
under a microscope,
531
00:23:15,539 --> 00:23:18,306
the more opportunities I have
to screw everything up.
532
00:23:18,375 --> 00:23:20,108
And my mom is counting
on me for this.
533
00:23:20,143 --> 00:23:22,344
I can't afford
to let her down.
534
00:23:25,515 --> 00:23:28,450
So...
535
00:23:28,485 --> 00:23:30,418
you fake it.
536
00:23:30,454 --> 00:23:31,953
Fake it?
537
00:23:32,022 --> 00:23:33,688
Yeah.
538
00:23:33,724 --> 00:23:37,057
You've been watching your mother
for years now.
539
00:23:37,126 --> 00:23:39,159
You don't need to be
the Queen of Crafts.
540
00:23:39,195 --> 00:23:40,435
You just need to play the part.
541
00:23:41,897 --> 00:23:44,198
That's what I've been trying
to do my entire life.
542
00:23:44,233 --> 00:23:46,567
All you need to do is get
through the next four days.
543
00:23:46,602 --> 00:23:47,735
And I will be here to help!
544
00:23:47,803 --> 00:23:50,104
You really think I can do this?
545
00:23:50,139 --> 00:23:52,439
Sure.
546
00:23:52,475 --> 00:23:53,674
We just need a game plan.
547
00:23:53,743 --> 00:23:55,376
All right.
548
00:23:58,013 --> 00:24:01,447
Well, first thing I'm gonna need
is some winter clothes.
549
00:24:07,756 --> 00:24:11,691
You need a pair of these.
550
00:24:11,726 --> 00:24:13,025
Definitely.
551
00:24:33,547 --> 00:24:35,914
Red's a good colour on you.
552
00:24:35,949 --> 00:24:37,015
Hi.
553
00:24:37,050 --> 00:24:38,161
Doin' some Christmas shopping?
554
00:24:38,185 --> 00:24:39,851
Not exactly.
555
00:24:39,887 --> 00:24:41,620
I didn't bring any luggage
556
00:24:41,655 --> 00:24:43,600
so I've gotta find something
to wear for the next few days.
557
00:24:43,624 --> 00:24:45,624
Well, since you are
sticking around,
558
00:24:45,692 --> 00:24:46,925
I was hoping for an interview.
559
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:48,326
With me?
560
00:24:48,362 --> 00:24:49,961
That's the idea, yeah.
561
00:24:49,997 --> 00:24:53,164
No, I'm really
not that interesting.
562
00:24:53,199 --> 00:24:54,576
The daughter
of the Queen of Crafts?
563
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,278
And with her recent
retirement announcement,
564
00:24:56,302 --> 00:24:58,602
widely considered to be
the heir apparent
565
00:24:58,671 --> 00:25:00,871
of her Fortune 500 company?
566
00:25:00,907 --> 00:25:02,117
Thought you didn't know
who I was.
567
00:25:02,141 --> 00:25:04,275
I did some research.
568
00:25:04,310 --> 00:25:05,776
Reporter.
569
00:25:08,714 --> 00:25:11,048
Well, sounds like you have
everything you need right there.
570
00:25:11,083 --> 00:25:12,443
There's not much more
to the story.
571
00:25:12,485 --> 00:25:14,051
Well, let me be
the judge of that.
572
00:25:17,522 --> 00:25:19,923
Can you excuse us
for one moment?
573
00:25:19,958 --> 00:25:21,391
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
574
00:25:24,663 --> 00:25:27,630
- You should do it.
- Are you serious?
575
00:25:27,666 --> 00:25:29,332
It'll be good press.
576
00:25:29,367 --> 00:25:31,801
I am trying to avoid questions.
577
00:25:31,837 --> 00:25:33,603
Now you want me
to sign up for some?
578
00:25:33,638 --> 00:25:36,506
Look, he is the uncle of the
girl that you're here to help.
579
00:25:36,541 --> 00:25:37,974
I'm not sure that you'll find
580
00:25:38,009 --> 00:25:40,375
a more friendly
interview situation.
581
00:25:45,749 --> 00:25:47,716
What's all this?
582
00:25:47,751 --> 00:25:51,153
- Christmas on Main Street.
- Christmas on Main Street?
583
00:25:51,188 --> 00:25:52,833
Yeah, it's Cedar Falls'
biggest event of the year.
584
00:25:52,857 --> 00:25:54,456
They shut down Main Street
585
00:25:54,492 --> 00:25:56,859
and there's games,
concessions, carolling.
586
00:25:56,894 --> 00:25:59,094
Yeah.
587
00:25:59,163 --> 00:26:02,364
- Check out that tree.
- Yeah.
588
00:26:02,399 --> 00:26:03,443
That's the grand finale.
589
00:26:03,467 --> 00:26:05,266
So at the end of the night,
590
00:26:05,301 --> 00:26:07,502
they'll light that tree
in the centre of the square.
591
00:26:07,570 --> 00:26:09,470
I'm gonna go get
some footage of that.
592
00:26:09,539 --> 00:26:10,539
Okay.
593
00:26:13,510 --> 00:26:15,977
So you graduated
with an MBA in business?
594
00:26:16,012 --> 00:26:17,645
I did.
595
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,313
Always been good with numbers.
596
00:26:19,382 --> 00:26:20,882
Everybody says
I take after my dad.
597
00:26:20,917 --> 00:26:22,550
Well, I mean, if you can cook,
598
00:26:22,585 --> 00:26:25,853
then obviously your mom's
an influence as well.
599
00:26:25,889 --> 00:26:27,355
Right! Yeah,
I mean, of course.
600
00:26:27,390 --> 00:26:30,023
You know, sort of 50/50 I guess.
601
00:26:30,092 --> 00:26:33,927
I used to have
a camera just like that.
602
00:26:33,962 --> 00:26:35,862
My dad got it for me
for my 15th birthday.
603
00:26:39,201 --> 00:26:41,201
What are you doing?
604
00:26:41,270 --> 00:26:42,502
Just jotting it down.
605
00:26:42,571 --> 00:26:44,771
It's not really important.
606
00:26:44,806 --> 00:26:46,907
It sounded important to you.
607
00:26:46,942 --> 00:26:50,544
Yeah. More of a hobby.
I just...
608
00:26:50,612 --> 00:26:51,823
I always like to be
behind the camera
609
00:26:51,847 --> 00:26:53,747
rather than in front of it.
610
00:26:53,782 --> 00:26:55,748
I oversee
our feature photo shoots.
611
00:26:55,783 --> 00:26:56,882
Excuse us.
612
00:26:56,918 --> 00:26:57,918
My gosh!
613
00:26:58,953 --> 00:27:00,052
Here, here.
614
00:27:00,087 --> 00:27:01,387
Sorry, I... That's all right.
615
00:27:01,422 --> 00:27:02,533
I was so sure
I could balance them.
616
00:27:02,557 --> 00:27:03,856
Where did you park?
617
00:27:03,925 --> 00:27:06,458
I had to park way,
way down the street.
618
00:27:06,494 --> 00:27:07,726
Let us walk you to your car.
619
00:27:07,762 --> 00:27:08,727
You don't have to do that.
620
00:27:08,763 --> 00:27:09,763
It's our pleasure.
621
00:27:09,797 --> 00:27:10,896
Really?
622
00:27:10,932 --> 00:27:11,975
Yeah. Lead the way.
623
00:27:11,999 --> 00:27:12,965
Yeah, okay. Thank you.
624
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,667
You're a Christmas angel.
625
00:27:19,506 --> 00:27:21,906
So, thank you again for
answering all my questions.
626
00:27:21,942 --> 00:27:23,341
Yeah, no problem.
627
00:27:23,376 --> 00:27:25,843
Did you get everything
you needed?
628
00:27:25,879 --> 00:27:27,545
For now.
629
00:27:27,614 --> 00:27:29,414
Great.
I'll see you later.
630
00:27:29,449 --> 00:27:30,748
See ya.
631
00:27:30,784 --> 00:27:32,951
Here, can you put those
in there? Thanks.
632
00:27:37,023 --> 00:27:40,158
What's this?
633
00:27:41,661 --> 00:27:45,562
Word does travel fast
in a small town.
634
00:27:45,598 --> 00:27:46,598
Yeah.
635
00:27:50,235 --> 00:27:51,835
Well, I hope you brought
your appetite.
636
00:27:52,938 --> 00:27:53,904
Good morning.
637
00:27:53,939 --> 00:27:55,439
Hi!
638
00:27:55,474 --> 00:27:57,307
Well, it seems my very busy son
639
00:27:57,376 --> 00:27:59,743
suddenly had an opening
for breakfast.
640
00:27:59,778 --> 00:28:01,378
No, he's still on the clock,
Mom.
641
00:28:01,413 --> 00:28:04,014
John's writing a piece
on Candace for the newspaper.
642
00:28:04,049 --> 00:28:05,449
I see.
643
00:28:05,484 --> 00:28:08,218
I'm here.
Isn't that what counts?
644
00:28:08,253 --> 00:28:09,585
Can I get you two some coffee?
645
00:28:09,621 --> 00:28:11,153
Yes, coffee would be wonderful.
646
00:28:11,189 --> 00:28:12,688
Thank you.
647
00:28:12,724 --> 00:28:15,224
Well, dig in, everyone.
Don't be shy.
648
00:28:15,293 --> 00:28:18,427
Thank you.
649
00:28:18,463 --> 00:28:20,296
This all looks so good.
650
00:28:20,365 --> 00:28:23,366
We got all the recipes
out of the magazine.
651
00:28:23,401 --> 00:28:26,335
Everything except the
snowflake pancakes, I'm afraid.
652
00:28:26,371 --> 00:28:27,703
Snowflake pancakes?
653
00:28:27,772 --> 00:28:29,839
Yeah. They're sort of
my mom's specialty.
654
00:28:29,907 --> 00:28:31,374
She makes them every Christmas.
655
00:28:31,409 --> 00:28:32,541
And try as I may,
656
00:28:32,577 --> 00:28:34,409
I just can't seem
to get them right!
657
00:28:34,444 --> 00:28:37,145
Well, you know,
it's all in the wrist.
658
00:28:38,649 --> 00:28:41,282
I'd like to see
the snowflake pancakes.
659
00:28:41,318 --> 00:28:42,717
Harper?
You wanna see one?
660
00:28:42,753 --> 00:28:44,152
You know what?
661
00:28:44,221 --> 00:28:45,665
I probably have a picture
of them on my phone.
662
00:28:45,689 --> 00:28:46,699
- I could show you.
- No...
663
00:28:46,723 --> 00:28:48,056
I...
664
00:28:48,091 --> 00:28:49,891
Sorry, I meant,
could you make one?
665
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,794
- Could you?
- I'd love to see it in action!
666
00:28:52,829 --> 00:28:56,731
But here? Now?
667
00:28:56,767 --> 00:28:58,433
Why not?
668
00:28:58,502 --> 00:29:00,234
Well, we don't have any batter.
669
00:29:00,302 --> 00:29:01,368
I can fix that.
670
00:29:03,873 --> 00:29:05,593
- Okay.
- Let's get some snowflake pancakes.
671
00:29:06,609 --> 00:29:07,708
They're gonna be so good.
672
00:29:07,743 --> 00:29:09,576
Pancake time.
673
00:29:14,316 --> 00:29:15,716
What are you doin'?
674
00:29:15,785 --> 00:29:17,251
I thought I'd get a few pictures
675
00:29:17,286 --> 00:29:19,286
as a companion piece
for the article.
676
00:29:19,321 --> 00:29:21,689
Well you know,
it happens really quickly
677
00:29:21,724 --> 00:29:23,223
so I don't know that a picture
678
00:29:23,259 --> 00:29:25,391
is really the best way
to capture the moment.
679
00:29:25,460 --> 00:29:27,260
You're right.
You know what?
680
00:29:27,295 --> 00:29:30,563
Video would be better and then
we can put it on our website.
681
00:29:31,599 --> 00:29:32,932
Here you go.
682
00:29:32,967 --> 00:29:35,334
The batter should be
the right consistency.
683
00:29:35,370 --> 00:29:37,303
I can't wait to see
how it all turns out!
684
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:39,972
Me either!
685
00:29:41,409 --> 00:29:44,877
All right.
Get the right position
686
00:29:44,913 --> 00:29:47,847
and start here...
687
00:29:47,882 --> 00:29:49,214
and here we go.
688
00:29:49,249 --> 00:29:50,482
Candace!
689
00:29:50,517 --> 00:29:52,617
Would you mind
if I gave it a shot?
690
00:29:52,653 --> 00:29:54,553
Yeah. Go ahead.
691
00:29:54,588 --> 00:29:56,388
She has been showing me
the perfect technique.
692
00:29:57,224 --> 00:29:58,523
I've been practicing
693
00:29:58,559 --> 00:30:00,525
and I would really love
to try it out.
694
00:30:00,561 --> 00:30:02,227
Yes! I think
that's a great idea.
695
00:30:02,296 --> 00:30:04,296
You should practice.
696
00:30:12,239 --> 00:30:14,371
Very nice.
697
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,207
Okay. Good, yeah.
I'll take that.
698
00:30:19,112 --> 00:30:21,278
Right...
699
00:30:21,347 --> 00:30:24,081
That's perfect.
Just like I taught you.
700
00:30:24,150 --> 00:30:25,683
Perfect.
701
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:28,120
Take that.
702
00:30:35,394 --> 00:30:37,995
Whoa, it looks
just like the picture!
703
00:30:38,030 --> 00:30:39,929
You must be
an excellent teacher!
704
00:30:39,965 --> 00:30:41,798
Well...
705
00:30:41,833 --> 00:30:45,235
I'd still like to get one
of Candace doing it.
706
00:30:45,270 --> 00:30:46,710
Just... if you don't mind
if I could?
707
00:30:46,738 --> 00:30:48,238
But we need to get a move on
708
00:30:48,306 --> 00:30:49,984
or we'll be late for the
gingerbread competition!
709
00:30:50,008 --> 00:30:52,142
Go on, before it all gets cold!
710
00:30:52,177 --> 00:30:54,077
Yeah.
711
00:30:55,614 --> 00:30:57,547
- Thank you.
- Of course.
712
00:31:07,258 --> 00:31:08,258
This looks fun.
713
00:31:08,325 --> 00:31:09,658
Yeah.
714
00:31:09,693 --> 00:31:11,493
Don't let those
friendly faces fool you.
715
00:31:11,529 --> 00:31:12,961
It gets pretty competitive.
716
00:31:12,997 --> 00:31:15,848
- Seriously?
- Cutthroat.
717
00:31:15,883 --> 00:31:17,382
I see my friends.
Can I go say hi?
718
00:31:18,419 --> 00:31:20,853
So? What can I expect?
719
00:31:20,888 --> 00:31:22,955
To be honest, I'm not sure.
720
00:31:22,990 --> 00:31:24,490
I haven't been here
since I was a kid.
721
00:31:24,558 --> 00:31:25,657
Really?
722
00:31:25,726 --> 00:31:27,926
Just haven't found the time.
723
00:31:29,395 --> 00:31:30,773
Well you know,
my mom always had a saying.
724
00:31:30,797 --> 00:31:32,997
"Time well spent
is time spent together".
725
00:31:33,032 --> 00:31:37,869
Well, your mother
is incredibly successful.
726
00:31:37,904 --> 00:31:39,584
I'm sure she spent
long hours to get there.
727
00:31:40,740 --> 00:31:41,873
Sure.
728
00:31:41,908 --> 00:31:43,268
But family
was always the priority.
729
00:31:43,309 --> 00:31:44,653
And there was nothing
more important.
730
00:31:44,677 --> 00:31:46,577
Especially at Christmas.
731
00:31:46,613 --> 00:31:49,580
It was a time
for us to slow down
732
00:31:49,616 --> 00:31:52,450
and appreciate all that we have
with the people we love.
733
00:31:52,519 --> 00:31:55,485
You know, I think we need
to get you into the spirit.
734
00:31:55,521 --> 00:31:57,621
And how do you propose
to do that?
735
00:31:57,656 --> 00:31:59,789
I've got just the thing.
736
00:31:59,825 --> 00:32:01,258
Yes.
737
00:32:05,497 --> 00:32:07,731
Yeah! It's a start.
738
00:32:10,269 --> 00:32:13,203
Welcome, everyone,
739
00:32:13,238 --> 00:32:15,772
to the 50th annual
gingerbread showdown!
740
00:32:18,042 --> 00:32:20,643
We're so lucky today
741
00:32:20,678 --> 00:32:23,078
to have a very special
guest judge,
742
00:32:23,114 --> 00:32:25,948
Candace Livingstone!
743
00:32:27,118 --> 00:32:29,151
Hi. Hi, everyone!
744
00:32:29,186 --> 00:32:30,252
I'm gonna put this down.
745
00:32:30,321 --> 00:32:34,123
Thank you, Mayor Walsh
and thank you, Cedar Falls
746
00:32:34,158 --> 00:32:36,825
for inviting me to be a part
of such a wonderful event.
747
00:32:36,894 --> 00:32:39,028
I'm sure I have a very tough
decision ahead of me.
748
00:32:39,063 --> 00:32:41,230
Now, before we begin,
749
00:32:41,265 --> 00:32:44,165
we thought it might be fun
to ask Candace
750
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,335
to show us some tips
and tricks of the trade!
751
00:32:52,676 --> 00:32:55,821
You guys don't need my advice.
They're in a competition, right?
752
00:32:55,845 --> 00:32:57,011
Well, what do ya say, folks?
753
00:32:57,047 --> 00:32:58,813
Would you like a little
demonstration?
754
00:33:00,784 --> 00:33:03,017
Why did it have to be
gingerbread?
755
00:33:03,053 --> 00:33:05,219
Candace! Candace! Candace!
756
00:33:06,890 --> 00:33:13,961
Okay. Well, the secret to a perfect
gingerbread house is patience.
757
00:33:13,996 --> 00:33:18,565
Because, you know,
it can take one, or two...
758
00:33:18,601 --> 00:33:20,567
or, you know,
759
00:33:20,603 --> 00:33:24,671
even ten tries
760
00:33:24,707 --> 00:33:26,506
to get it right.
Oh, boy.
761
00:33:26,542 --> 00:33:29,009
Yeah. But you know,
762
00:33:29,078 --> 00:33:31,111
the great thing about
gingerbread houses
763
00:33:31,146 --> 00:33:32,612
is that there
really are no rules.
764
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,348
So, you know,
your gingerbread house
765
00:33:35,383 --> 00:33:37,850
could be tall or short,
766
00:33:37,885 --> 00:33:40,720
neat or messy.
767
00:33:42,123 --> 00:33:44,190
Really,
the perfect gingerbread house
768
00:33:44,225 --> 00:33:47,460
is whatever you make it to be.
769
00:33:47,495 --> 00:33:50,296
And that royal icing is
giving you a bit of trouble?
770
00:33:50,331 --> 00:33:51,897
Just add a splash
of lemon juice.
771
00:33:51,933 --> 00:33:53,866
Wonderful. Thank you, Candace!
772
00:33:56,004 --> 00:33:57,769
Let the competition begin!
773
00:33:57,838 --> 00:34:01,339
- Good luck, everyone!
- Good luck.
774
00:34:04,177 --> 00:34:05,777
Look at all those windows.
775
00:34:08,015 --> 00:34:09,814
Look at this one!
776
00:34:11,318 --> 00:34:12,762
- It looks like a little castle!
- Yeah.
777
00:34:12,786 --> 00:34:14,085
They did a great job.
778
00:34:16,223 --> 00:34:18,223
Look at that!
779
00:34:20,861 --> 00:34:22,526
Nice job.
780
00:34:26,666 --> 00:34:27,731
Great job.
781
00:34:30,603 --> 00:34:31,635
Well, ladies.
782
00:34:32,838 --> 00:34:34,471
Do we have a winner?
783
00:34:34,507 --> 00:34:35,572
What do you think?
784
00:34:36,809 --> 00:34:38,275
Okay.
785
00:34:38,310 --> 00:34:39,921
I have conferred with
my esteemed colleague here
786
00:34:39,945 --> 00:34:41,712
and we have made a decision.
787
00:34:44,216 --> 00:34:46,183
Wonderful!
It's the Carsons!
788
00:34:47,652 --> 00:34:49,052
Again.
789
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:50,253
Let's get a picture.
790
00:34:54,459 --> 00:34:55,925
Great. Nice job.
791
00:34:58,096 --> 00:35:00,630
Kevin. Grab the photo.
792
00:35:04,469 --> 00:35:06,080
Well, we're all heading home
to trim the tree.
793
00:35:06,104 --> 00:35:08,738
Do you have to get back
to the paper right away?
794
00:35:11,242 --> 00:35:12,307
I'll be right behind you.
795
00:35:12,342 --> 00:35:13,442
- Yes!
- All right.
796
00:35:13,477 --> 00:35:15,277
See you later.
797
00:35:20,584 --> 00:35:21,895
I can't believe
you still have this.
798
00:35:21,919 --> 00:35:23,196
You made this for me
when you were six.
799
00:35:23,220 --> 00:35:25,821
Of course I still have it.
800
00:35:25,856 --> 00:35:27,122
It's lopsided.
801
00:35:27,157 --> 00:35:28,157
It's perfect!
802
00:35:28,225 --> 00:35:29,491
I like it!
803
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:30,759
There you go.
Two against one.
804
00:35:30,794 --> 00:35:32,060
And she's the expert.
805
00:35:32,096 --> 00:35:33,562
I'm hanging it in the back.
806
00:35:34,631 --> 00:35:35,831
Yep.
807
00:35:35,866 --> 00:35:37,431
What are we going to do
about the angel?
808
00:35:37,467 --> 00:35:38,933
Dad always puts it on top.
809
00:35:38,968 --> 00:35:42,937
Harper. I spoke to your dad
last night and...
810
00:35:42,972 --> 00:35:44,452
- ...he thinks you should do it.
- Me?
811
00:35:45,374 --> 00:35:46,907
Candace,
can you hand me that box?
812
00:35:46,976 --> 00:35:47,976
Yeah, sure.
813
00:35:49,645 --> 00:35:51,278
There you go.
Thank you.
814
00:35:51,314 --> 00:35:53,047
But I can't reach.
815
00:35:53,082 --> 00:35:55,015
I think I can
help you with that.
816
00:35:55,051 --> 00:35:56,117
Ready?
817
00:36:01,324 --> 00:36:03,523
Okay.
818
00:36:03,558 --> 00:36:05,225
Now, you see?
819
00:36:05,260 --> 00:36:06,860
You almost missed this.
820
00:36:08,997 --> 00:36:10,730
You did a good job.
821
00:36:10,799 --> 00:36:12,065
Thanks.
822
00:36:16,471 --> 00:36:18,015
There's something
that just doesn't add up.
823
00:36:18,039 --> 00:36:20,240
Did you see her
at the gingerbread competition?
824
00:36:20,275 --> 00:36:21,886
She didn't even know
what a gingerbread house was
825
00:36:21,910 --> 00:36:22,976
let alone how to make one.
826
00:36:23,011 --> 00:36:24,511
Everyone has an off day.
827
00:36:24,546 --> 00:36:27,446
No, I think... I think
you should look into this.
828
00:36:27,481 --> 00:36:29,548
My instincts are never wrong.
829
00:36:29,583 --> 00:36:31,450
- She was...
- Dig a little deeper.
830
00:36:34,255 --> 00:36:35,888
Come on, Ben.
She was ambushed.
831
00:36:35,956 --> 00:36:38,090
She wasn't expecting
to build a gingerbread house.
832
00:36:43,864 --> 00:36:45,330
For what it's worth,
833
00:36:45,366 --> 00:36:47,533
I thought you handled it
with a lot of finesse.
834
00:36:47,568 --> 00:36:48,834
Really?
835
00:36:48,869 --> 00:36:50,936
Well, the crowd
seemed to like it.
836
00:36:50,971 --> 00:36:52,470
I've been here
less than two days
837
00:36:52,505 --> 00:36:55,239
and I've barely averted
three potential disasters.
838
00:36:55,275 --> 00:36:56,674
But they were averted.
839
00:36:56,709 --> 00:36:57,853
And if anything else comes up,
840
00:36:57,877 --> 00:36:59,410
I will run interference.
841
00:36:59,445 --> 00:37:01,379
Wait, wait, wait.
We've got one more problem.
842
00:37:01,414 --> 00:37:03,614
- What?
- John.
843
00:37:03,650 --> 00:37:05,817
Because you wanna
lose yourself in his eyes
844
00:37:05,852 --> 00:37:07,218
and never find your way out?
845
00:37:08,588 --> 00:37:10,054
I was thinking
because he's nosy.
846
00:37:10,089 --> 00:37:11,823
Right.
847
00:37:11,858 --> 00:37:13,891
Look.
848
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,126
The last thing I need is a
reporter tailing me around,
849
00:37:16,161 --> 00:37:18,595
catching me
in a domestic mishap.
850
00:37:18,630 --> 00:37:19,896
Don't worry...
851
00:37:19,932 --> 00:37:21,198
Heavens, you're just in time!
852
00:37:21,233 --> 00:37:22,499
I have a surprise for you.
853
00:37:22,534 --> 00:37:24,401
No, no.
854
00:37:24,469 --> 00:37:26,036
I'm not really big on surprises.
855
00:37:26,071 --> 00:37:28,672
I know you'll love this one.
856
00:37:28,740 --> 00:37:30,240
Come.
857
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:43,819
Welcome.
858
00:37:43,888 --> 00:37:47,489
The inn hosts a sewing circle
twice a month
859
00:37:47,525 --> 00:37:49,859
but since you're here in town,
860
00:37:49,894 --> 00:37:52,027
I decided to call
an emergency meeting.
861
00:37:52,096 --> 00:37:54,063
Let me, take your coats.
862
00:37:54,098 --> 00:37:56,232
I thought it would be
a welcome sight
863
00:37:56,267 --> 00:37:57,700
to help you feel at home.
864
00:37:57,735 --> 00:37:59,668
Oh, gosh, well you...
865
00:37:59,704 --> 00:38:01,237
didn't have to go
to all this trouble.
866
00:38:01,305 --> 00:38:02,771
No trouble at all!
867
00:38:02,807 --> 00:38:05,307
Well, I remembered
last year's Christmas issue
868
00:38:05,343 --> 00:38:06,875
was all about how
you and your mother
869
00:38:06,910 --> 00:38:09,277
loved to knit something
special for the holidays.
870
00:38:09,346 --> 00:38:11,212
Yes. Yeah...
871
00:38:11,248 --> 00:38:12,547
You know, Mrs. Deevers,
872
00:38:12,582 --> 00:38:13,960
can I just talk to you
for a second?
873
00:38:13,984 --> 00:38:15,483
Sure. Just one second.
874
00:38:17,087 --> 00:38:19,087
You know, I... I...
would really rather just watch.
875
00:38:19,122 --> 00:38:20,766
You know, I don't wanna
disrupt the circle.
876
00:38:20,790 --> 00:38:22,490
No, no!
877
00:38:22,525 --> 00:38:25,393
They'll be excited to learn
some tricks from an expert.
878
00:38:25,462 --> 00:38:28,162
Well, I...
I wouldn't say expert.
879
00:38:28,198 --> 00:38:31,131
All right.
I see what's going on here.
880
00:38:31,166 --> 00:38:33,400
You... you do?
881
00:38:33,435 --> 00:38:35,102
I think it's fairly obvious.
882
00:38:36,805 --> 00:38:38,171
It is.
883
00:38:38,207 --> 00:38:41,341
You're worried
about showing the others up.
884
00:38:41,410 --> 00:38:43,243
You caught her!
885
00:38:43,279 --> 00:38:46,113
That is Candace,
modest to a fault.
886
00:38:46,181 --> 00:38:48,815
You have nothing to worry about.
887
00:38:48,851 --> 00:38:51,051
We all just do this for fun!
888
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:52,519
Come!
889
00:38:52,588 --> 00:38:55,655
Yes, okay. Sorry, excuse me.
890
00:38:55,723 --> 00:38:57,089
Sorry.
Thank you so much.
891
00:38:57,125 --> 00:38:58,125
Right here in the middle.
892
00:38:58,159 --> 00:39:00,359
Okay, great. Hi.
893
00:39:00,395 --> 00:39:01,395
Now that that's settled,
894
00:39:01,462 --> 00:39:03,696
I have just one question:
895
00:39:03,765 --> 00:39:06,098
knitting or cross-stitch?
896
00:39:06,134 --> 00:39:07,233
Knitting.
897
00:39:07,268 --> 00:39:09,135
Yeah, Candace,
898
00:39:09,203 --> 00:39:11,015
you have that scarf
that you've been working on.
899
00:39:11,039 --> 00:39:12,705
Scarf.
900
00:39:12,740 --> 00:39:14,140
Yeah, maybe you could
finish it up?
901
00:39:14,175 --> 00:39:16,909
Yeah, yeah.
902
00:39:16,945 --> 00:39:18,411
I'll go grab it for you.
903
00:39:18,446 --> 00:39:19,946
Perfect.
904
00:39:22,249 --> 00:39:23,982
Thank you.
905
00:39:24,017 --> 00:39:26,117
Isn't this fun?
906
00:39:26,153 --> 00:39:27,852
It's so much!
907
00:39:27,921 --> 00:39:30,722
Yeah. Hi, ladies.
Thank you for having me.
908
00:39:35,062 --> 00:39:36,528
Yes.
909
00:39:43,437 --> 00:39:45,602
I got it!
910
00:39:45,671 --> 00:39:48,339
Yeah, there...
there's the scarf.
911
00:39:48,374 --> 00:39:49,707
My, that's beautiful.
912
00:39:49,775 --> 00:39:51,508
Yeah!
913
00:39:53,446 --> 00:40:00,718
- So, what do I do with this now?
- Stick some buttons on it?
914
00:40:00,753 --> 00:40:03,654
Could you hand me
those buttons right there?
915
00:40:10,695 --> 00:40:13,262
Some of these...
916
00:40:13,298 --> 00:40:16,332
Doing lovely work, ladies.
Some more buttons.
917
00:40:28,113 --> 00:40:30,747
That's a really beautiful quilt.
918
00:40:30,815 --> 00:40:32,482
Thank you.
919
00:40:32,517 --> 00:40:35,617
You know, next month's issue
is gonna be all about quilts.
920
00:40:35,652 --> 00:40:36,718
You would love it.
921
00:40:36,754 --> 00:40:39,221
- Do you have a subscription?
- I'm sorry, I don't.
922
00:40:39,256 --> 00:40:41,990
That's okay.
I could send you one.
923
00:40:42,026 --> 00:40:45,494
Truth is, I find your magazine
a little intimidating.
924
00:40:45,529 --> 00:40:47,129
Intimidating?
925
00:40:47,164 --> 00:40:49,731
I shouldn't have said anything.
926
00:40:49,767 --> 00:40:51,867
No, I... I'd love
to hear your thoughts.
927
00:40:51,902 --> 00:40:53,969
Well, it's just...
all the perfect pictures
928
00:40:54,004 --> 00:40:55,070
of all the perfect things?
929
00:40:55,139 --> 00:41:00,441
It always felt so unattainable,
like it wasn't meant for me.
930
00:41:00,476 --> 00:41:03,177
I'm sure you have no idea
what I'm talking about.
931
00:41:03,212 --> 00:41:08,783
No. No, I do.
More than you realize.
932
00:41:10,753 --> 00:41:12,153
Just for the record,
933
00:41:12,221 --> 00:41:13,699
we would be lucky
to feature a quilt like that
934
00:41:13,723 --> 00:41:14,789
in our magazine.
935
00:41:21,497 --> 00:41:22,997
Good night, ladies.
936
00:41:23,066 --> 00:41:24,131
Bye.
Good night.
937
00:41:24,167 --> 00:41:26,466
- So lovely meeting you.
- Bye. Nice to meet you.
938
00:41:26,535 --> 00:41:27,712
Thank you so much.
Have a good night.
939
00:41:27,736 --> 00:41:30,003
- Good to see you.
- Hi! How are you?
940
00:41:30,038 --> 00:41:31,971
Hi.
941
00:41:32,845 --> 00:41:34,684
- Hey.
- Hey.
942
00:41:35,143 --> 00:41:36,376
What are you doin' here?
943
00:41:36,411 --> 00:41:39,379
Just...
944
00:41:39,414 --> 00:41:41,681
observing you
in your natural habitat.
945
00:41:41,716 --> 00:41:44,517
You know, getting a little
colour for the story.
946
00:41:45,754 --> 00:41:46,931
I thought it was
just an interview.
947
00:41:46,955 --> 00:41:49,621
- Now I'm a story.
- Right, yeah.
948
00:41:49,690 --> 00:41:53,992
But it's kind of a big deal,
you coming to town.
949
00:41:54,028 --> 00:41:56,528
So my editor thought it would
be nice to get a profile piece.
950
00:41:56,597 --> 00:41:59,731
I was hoping to maybe spend
the day together tomorrow?
951
00:41:59,767 --> 00:42:02,301
My family's going downtown
for the festival.
952
00:42:02,369 --> 00:42:05,070
We'd love for you to come.
953
00:42:05,106 --> 00:42:07,973
- John! Hi!
- Hi, how are you?
954
00:42:08,008 --> 00:42:09,842
- What a surprise!
- Yeah.
955
00:42:09,910 --> 00:42:13,879
Did you see the beautiful
scarf that Candace made?
956
00:42:17,250 --> 00:42:18,250
You made this?
957
00:42:19,352 --> 00:42:22,687
- Isn't she talented?
- Yeah, very.
958
00:42:22,755 --> 00:42:24,088
Yes, indeed. Well,
959
00:42:24,124 --> 00:42:27,358
I guess I'll just leave
you two kids alone.
960
00:42:27,393 --> 00:42:29,227
Yeah.
961
00:42:29,262 --> 00:42:30,695
Good night.
962
00:42:34,167 --> 00:42:36,467
Well, if you don't have
any questions for tonight,
963
00:42:36,536 --> 00:42:38,236
- I think I'm gonna go...
- Yeah.
964
00:42:38,271 --> 00:42:39,714
No, it looks like
I missed out on all the fun.
965
00:42:39,738 --> 00:42:42,305
So...
966
00:42:42,341 --> 00:42:44,341
See you tomorrow?
967
00:42:44,376 --> 00:42:45,976
- Yeah.
- Great.
968
00:42:46,011 --> 00:42:47,878
- Good night.
- Good night.
969
00:43:11,402 --> 00:43:12,535
- Hey!
- Hey.
970
00:43:12,570 --> 00:43:15,104
- What's up?
- I just spoke to Matt.
971
00:43:15,173 --> 00:43:17,006
His parents want us
to celebrate Christmas
972
00:43:17,041 --> 00:43:19,842
with them at their family cabin.
973
00:43:19,877 --> 00:43:21,477
It was a last minute decision.
974
00:43:21,512 --> 00:43:23,612
When do you have to leave?
975
00:43:24,615 --> 00:43:25,681
Tomorrow.
976
00:43:30,353 --> 00:43:31,886
Okay.
977
00:43:33,690 --> 00:43:36,558
I'll keep my phone on
in case of an emergency.
978
00:43:36,593 --> 00:43:37,593
You think I can do this?
979
00:43:37,627 --> 00:43:38,860
You made it this far.
980
00:43:38,895 --> 00:43:40,261
Yeah, with your help.
981
00:43:40,330 --> 00:43:42,230
You only agreed to the one day.
982
00:43:42,299 --> 00:43:44,265
No one would blame you
if you left early.
983
00:43:45,669 --> 00:43:46,669
Merry Christmas.
984
00:43:46,736 --> 00:43:48,469
Okay.
985
00:43:48,538 --> 00:43:50,071
- Have fun.
- Yeah.
986
00:43:59,615 --> 00:44:01,782
Hello. You've
reached Liz Livingstone.
987
00:44:01,850 --> 00:44:03,684
I can't come to the phone
right now.
988
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:06,000
Leave a message after the tone
and have a Merry Christmas.
989
00:44:07,456 --> 00:44:09,256
Hey, Mom, it's me.
990
00:44:09,291 --> 00:44:12,092
Looks like I'll be joining
you in Aspen, after all.
991
00:44:12,127 --> 00:44:14,061
Give me a call
when you get this.
992
00:44:14,096 --> 00:44:16,930
Okay, bye.
993
00:44:22,837 --> 00:44:24,103
Candace!
994
00:44:24,138 --> 00:44:25,972
What a wonderful surprise!
995
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:28,040
Hi. Is Harper here?
996
00:44:28,076 --> 00:44:29,742
She's inside, come on in!
997
00:44:29,811 --> 00:44:31,110
Okay, I'll be right there.
998
00:44:31,145 --> 00:44:32,912
Great.
999
00:44:35,950 --> 00:44:38,451
I can't believe you're going to
miss Christmas on Main Street!
1000
00:44:38,519 --> 00:44:40,497
Well, you're just gonna have
to tell me all about it
1001
00:44:40,521 --> 00:44:42,132
when I'm back!
Did you pick an ornament?
1002
00:44:42,156 --> 00:44:43,622
Still deciding.
1003
00:44:43,657 --> 00:44:45,824
I voted was for the snowman
with the sunglasses.
1004
00:44:45,859 --> 00:44:47,993
Ha! That's why Harper
is in charge.
1005
00:44:48,061 --> 00:44:49,527
You know, I gotta go, kiddo.
1006
00:44:49,563 --> 00:44:50,929
Already?
1007
00:44:50,998 --> 00:44:52,564
I know,
I'm sorry it was so short.
1008
00:44:52,599 --> 00:44:54,566
But listen,
I'm gonna be home so soon,
1009
00:44:54,635 --> 00:44:56,334
and I can't wait to see you!
1010
00:44:56,370 --> 00:44:57,602
Okay. Bye, Dad. Love you.
1011
00:44:57,638 --> 00:44:59,304
I love you, too, kiddo.
1012
00:44:59,339 --> 00:45:01,039
I'll see you soon, Janey.
1013
00:45:01,074 --> 00:45:02,540
Not soon enough.
1014
00:45:02,576 --> 00:45:03,775
Bye, Mom.
1015
00:45:03,844 --> 00:45:05,010
Love you, son.
1016
00:45:05,045 --> 00:45:06,244
See you, bro.
1017
00:45:06,313 --> 00:45:08,380
See ya, buddy.
Love you guys!
1018
00:45:08,447 --> 00:45:10,948
See you soon!
1019
00:45:12,618 --> 00:45:13,884
Hey...
1020
00:45:13,919 --> 00:45:15,519
Do you think he suspects
anything?
1021
00:45:17,690 --> 00:45:19,623
You're about to throw him
the world's best
1022
00:45:19,659 --> 00:45:21,692
Christmas homecoming,
and he doesn't have a clue!
1023
00:45:21,761 --> 00:45:24,128
Do you think he's going
to like it?
1024
00:45:24,163 --> 00:45:26,130
No. I think he's going
to love it.
1025
00:45:27,433 --> 00:45:29,900
Thanks, Uncle John.
1026
00:45:31,370 --> 00:45:33,237
Hi, Candace!
1027
00:45:33,272 --> 00:45:35,338
What brings you here?
1028
00:45:35,407 --> 00:45:37,607
Well, I wanted to talk
to Harper about something.
1029
00:45:37,642 --> 00:45:39,609
What is it?
1030
00:45:43,281 --> 00:45:46,749
Well, I heard there was a big
Christmas festival in town,
1031
00:45:46,785 --> 00:45:49,852
and I was wondering if I might
tag along for the day?
1032
00:45:51,089 --> 00:45:52,422
Yeah!
1033
00:45:56,928 --> 00:45:58,994
Great.
1034
00:46:14,078 --> 00:46:15,678
Hey, what are you doing here,
little guy?
1035
00:46:17,314 --> 00:46:19,448
That looks great!
Good job!
1036
00:46:27,890 --> 00:46:30,024
There you are!
1037
00:46:30,059 --> 00:46:33,194
- Hey, how are you?
- So good to see you!
1038
00:46:33,262 --> 00:46:35,062
- Good to see you.
- Merry Christmas!
1039
00:46:35,098 --> 00:46:36,731
Merry almost Christmas.
1040
00:46:36,766 --> 00:46:37,965
How does it look?
1041
00:46:38,034 --> 00:46:40,234
I think it looks great.
1042
00:46:43,873 --> 00:46:46,140
I'd say you picked the best
branch in the bunch.
1043
00:46:46,175 --> 00:46:47,441
Where'd you sneak off to?
1044
00:46:47,477 --> 00:46:49,342
Well...
1045
00:46:49,378 --> 00:46:52,812
This was still in the window.
1046
00:46:52,848 --> 00:46:55,882
So, everyone just brings an
ornament from their own tree?
1047
00:46:55,951 --> 00:46:58,184
It's a tradition
almost as old as the town.
1048
00:46:58,220 --> 00:47:01,755
A way to celebrate Christmas
together, as a community.
1049
00:47:01,790 --> 00:47:04,224
I love that.
1050
00:47:04,259 --> 00:47:06,459
Harper! Do you want
some Christmas fudge?
1051
00:47:08,630 --> 00:47:11,231
As if the answer
was ever going to be no.
1052
00:47:11,266 --> 00:47:12,732
Come on.
1053
00:47:12,767 --> 00:47:15,367
Ooh, that one!
1054
00:47:15,403 --> 00:47:17,503
I'm gonna get a picture of this.
1055
00:47:17,538 --> 00:47:19,037
Is that for the magazine?
1056
00:47:19,106 --> 00:47:23,742
Nope.
Just for me.
1057
00:47:30,184 --> 00:47:32,684
Thank you.
1058
00:47:36,123 --> 00:47:39,824
- Here.
- Thanks.
1059
00:47:39,859 --> 00:47:41,125
Cherry blossoms.
1060
00:47:42,395 --> 00:47:44,095
It's on old Austrian tradition.
1061
00:47:44,130 --> 00:47:46,242
You take a cherry blossom branch
and you put it in a vase,
1062
00:47:46,266 --> 00:47:48,800
and if it blooms by Christmas,
you'll have good luck in love.
1063
00:47:48,868 --> 00:47:52,069
Really?
1064
00:47:52,138 --> 00:47:53,805
I was going to do a story
1065
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:56,240
about Christmas traditions
in other countries,
1066
00:47:56,276 --> 00:47:58,876
but my boss shot it down.
1067
00:47:58,912 --> 00:48:01,112
Said focus on local news.
1068
00:48:02,415 --> 00:48:04,414
I see...
1069
00:48:05,651 --> 00:48:07,117
What?
1070
00:48:07,152 --> 00:48:10,086
Nothing, just...
1071
00:48:10,122 --> 00:48:11,955
You know, sometimes
we get so focused
1072
00:48:12,024 --> 00:48:14,424
on wanting the things
that we don't have
1073
00:48:14,493 --> 00:48:17,294
that we forget about the things
we already do have.
1074
00:48:17,329 --> 00:48:20,263
I just want to feel like
I'm making a difference.
1075
00:48:20,299 --> 00:48:22,065
Aren't you?
1076
00:48:22,100 --> 00:48:25,902
I mean, these people trust you
enough to tell their stories.
1077
00:48:25,938 --> 00:48:28,671
I'd say that's pretty important.
1078
00:48:28,706 --> 00:48:31,173
You know, it's just growing up,
1079
00:48:31,209 --> 00:48:33,142
I was always in Steve's shadow.
1080
00:48:33,177 --> 00:48:35,444
It doesn't feel like much
has changed.
1081
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:38,681
You know, I guess I'm always
just looking for a way
1082
00:48:38,716 --> 00:48:42,384
to make my own mark.
1083
00:48:43,654 --> 00:48:47,056
Well, believe me.
I can relate to that.
1084
00:48:47,091 --> 00:48:49,558
Yeah, well,
I guess you can, huh?
1085
00:48:53,497 --> 00:48:56,965
- You're nothing like I expected.
- What's that mean?
1086
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,701
Well, I didn't think we'd
have anything in common.
1087
00:48:59,736 --> 00:49:01,202
And you're easy to talk to.
1088
00:49:02,939 --> 00:49:04,672
And shorter in real life.
1089
00:49:04,708 --> 00:49:06,708
I'm not short.
1090
00:49:06,776 --> 00:49:07,942
Short-er.
1091
00:49:07,978 --> 00:49:09,477
Yeah.
1092
00:49:13,583 --> 00:49:15,884
This hot chocolate is delicious.
1093
00:49:15,919 --> 00:49:17,217
You know what?
1094
00:49:17,286 --> 00:49:19,920
If you think this is delicious,
I got something to show you.
1095
00:49:19,955 --> 00:49:22,623
Come on.
1096
00:49:32,001 --> 00:49:34,401
Everything looks so good.
1097
00:49:34,436 --> 00:49:36,014
Yeah, this is Steve's favourite
part of the festival.
1098
00:49:36,038 --> 00:49:37,538
My big brother has
a real sweet tooth.
1099
00:49:37,573 --> 00:49:39,840
You know, we should see
if some of the vendors
1100
00:49:39,875 --> 00:49:41,542
would make some things
for his homecoming.
1101
00:49:41,610 --> 00:49:44,143
That's a great idea.
1102
00:49:44,178 --> 00:49:45,511
Hearts?
1103
00:49:45,580 --> 00:49:47,113
It's a family tradition.
1104
00:49:47,148 --> 00:49:48,893
My grandmother made sugar
cookies every Christmas,
1105
00:49:48,917 --> 00:49:50,516
and one year, all she could find
1106
00:49:50,552 --> 00:49:51,862
was her Valentine's Day
cookie cutters.
1107
00:49:51,886 --> 00:49:54,153
It became a thing we always did.
1108
00:49:54,188 --> 00:49:57,657
It's a little unconventional,
but it's ours.
1109
00:49:57,725 --> 00:49:59,136
Well, I think it's a lovely
tradition.
1110
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:01,561
Thanks.
1111
00:50:01,596 --> 00:50:03,996
We'll take two.
1112
00:50:05,233 --> 00:50:06,798
Why, thank you.
1113
00:50:09,002 --> 00:50:10,602
That was wonderful.
1114
00:50:10,637 --> 00:50:12,571
That was so amazing!
1115
00:50:12,606 --> 00:50:14,083
Oh, my gosh, I haven't eaten
that much sugar
1116
00:50:14,107 --> 00:50:15,307
in a very long time!
1117
00:50:16,843 --> 00:50:18,310
You okay?
1118
00:50:18,345 --> 00:50:19,889
Thank you so much
for letting me tag along.
1119
00:50:19,913 --> 00:50:21,112
Of course!
1120
00:50:21,148 --> 00:50:22,314
You're always welcome.
1121
00:50:23,951 --> 00:50:26,151
And I will be back tomorrow
because Miss Harper,
1122
00:50:26,186 --> 00:50:27,652
you and I have a party to plan.
1123
00:50:27,688 --> 00:50:30,288
- Yes!
- Nice.
1124
00:50:30,324 --> 00:50:31,623
All right, see you guys later.
1125
00:50:31,657 --> 00:50:34,091
- See you later.
- Bye!
1126
00:50:34,126 --> 00:50:36,126
I'll see you later.
1127
00:50:36,195 --> 00:50:39,597
Hey, just one second.
1128
00:50:39,632 --> 00:50:42,099
Yeah?
1129
00:50:42,134 --> 00:50:43,467
Do you have plans tonight?
1130
00:50:43,502 --> 00:50:45,569
I don't have any luggage,
1131
00:50:45,605 --> 00:50:47,905
so I certainly don't have
any plans.
1132
00:50:47,940 --> 00:50:51,408
Would you like some?
1133
00:50:51,477 --> 00:50:53,277
Are you asking me out?
1134
00:50:53,312 --> 00:50:55,980
I am.
1135
00:50:57,315 --> 00:50:59,449
But, like, but not
on a date-date,
1136
00:50:59,484 --> 00:51:01,918
'cause you're probably
seeing someone,
1137
00:51:01,953 --> 00:51:05,555
but like, you know,
for the article's sake.
1138
00:51:06,858 --> 00:51:09,592
Okay, for the article's sake.
1139
00:51:09,628 --> 00:51:11,694
Yeah, right? I mean...
1140
00:51:11,730 --> 00:51:15,398
Yeah, and for the record,
I'm not seeing anyone.
1141
00:51:15,467 --> 00:51:17,233
That's great.
1142
00:51:17,302 --> 00:51:19,002
I mean, or not.
1143
00:51:19,037 --> 00:51:21,937
Whatever, you know, for you.
1144
00:51:21,972 --> 00:51:23,305
No, I get it.
1145
00:51:23,374 --> 00:51:25,741
Dating has always been
a little weird for me.
1146
00:51:25,776 --> 00:51:28,710
I'm never quite sure if people
are interested in me,
1147
00:51:28,746 --> 00:51:31,813
or Candace Livingstone.
1148
00:51:31,849 --> 00:51:34,750
Right.
1149
00:51:34,785 --> 00:51:37,285
But you are Candace Livingstone.
1150
00:51:37,354 --> 00:51:38,553
Yes, I am. Yes.
1151
00:51:38,589 --> 00:51:40,022
Okay, I was just checking.
1152
00:51:40,057 --> 00:51:43,458
No, I am, but I'm not.
1153
00:51:43,494 --> 00:51:45,060
If that makes any sense.
1154
00:51:45,095 --> 00:51:47,128
It does, actually, yeah.
1155
00:51:47,196 --> 00:51:49,597
Yeah, so...
1156
00:51:49,666 --> 00:51:52,299
I'll pick you up at eight.
1157
00:51:52,335 --> 00:51:55,469
Okay. Where are we going?
1158
00:51:55,505 --> 00:51:57,872
It's a surprise.
1159
00:51:57,907 --> 00:52:00,374
Okay.
1160
00:52:00,410 --> 00:52:01,909
I'll see you tonight.
1161
00:52:01,944 --> 00:52:03,644
See you tonight.
1162
00:52:20,462 --> 00:52:21,661
Hey.
1163
00:52:21,730 --> 00:52:23,897
Finally!
I've been calling all day.
1164
00:52:23,932 --> 00:52:25,265
I know, I'm sorry,
1165
00:52:25,333 --> 00:52:26,678
I've been down at the Christmas
on Main Street.
1166
00:52:26,702 --> 00:52:29,135
I know.
I've been tracking it online.
1167
00:52:29,171 --> 00:52:30,648
Anna, would you go enjoy
your vacation?
1168
00:52:30,672 --> 00:52:31,883
We're getting really good
feedback.
1169
00:52:31,907 --> 00:52:33,273
People are posting pictures.
1170
00:52:33,308 --> 00:52:34,752
I've been sharing them
on the website.
1171
00:52:34,776 --> 00:52:36,608
Everybody loves you!
1172
00:52:36,677 --> 00:52:38,555
There is no way that the board
could turn you down now.
1173
00:52:38,579 --> 00:52:40,779
You know what, Anna?
Can I call you back?
1174
00:52:40,815 --> 00:52:42,359
I need to go to that little
clothing shop again
1175
00:52:42,383 --> 00:52:43,782
before it closes.
1176
00:52:43,818 --> 00:52:45,918
What? We were just there.
1177
00:52:45,953 --> 00:52:47,497
How many wardrobe changes
have you gone through today?
1178
00:52:47,521 --> 00:52:49,555
I actually need an outfit
for tonight.
1179
00:52:49,590 --> 00:52:50,889
I'm going out.
1180
00:52:50,925 --> 00:52:52,491
With John.
1181
00:52:52,526 --> 00:52:54,927
Really?
1182
00:52:54,962 --> 00:52:57,162
Would you go decorate
a tree or something?
1183
00:52:57,231 --> 00:52:58,931
Or wassail, I don't know.
1184
00:52:58,966 --> 00:53:02,967
Fine. But for the record?
1185
00:53:03,002 --> 00:53:04,702
One of the worst ways to keep
a low profile
1186
00:53:04,738 --> 00:53:06,771
is by falling for the local
reporter.
1187
00:53:06,806 --> 00:53:08,139
Goodbye, Anna.
1188
00:53:08,174 --> 00:53:10,641
No...
1189
00:53:24,357 --> 00:53:26,223
You look beautiful.
1190
00:53:26,258 --> 00:53:28,325
This old thing?
1191
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:30,293
I thought you didn't have
any luggage?
1192
00:53:30,329 --> 00:53:34,898
So, maybe this old thing
is a rather new thing.
1193
00:53:36,301 --> 00:53:40,036
- Shall we?
- We shall.
1194
00:53:42,508 --> 00:53:44,808
So, are you excited?
1195
00:53:44,843 --> 00:53:47,110
About taking over for your
mother when she retires?
1196
00:53:47,146 --> 00:53:49,513
I thought the interview
was over?
1197
00:53:49,548 --> 00:53:51,881
This is off the record.
1198
00:53:51,916 --> 00:53:54,283
Well, in that case...
1199
00:53:54,318 --> 00:53:56,919
I'm really nervous.
1200
00:53:56,954 --> 00:53:59,455
Really?
1201
00:53:59,524 --> 00:54:01,190
Yeah.
1202
00:54:01,225 --> 00:54:03,070
I mean, I always thought I'd be
involved in the family business.
1203
00:54:03,094 --> 00:54:05,161
I just figured it would be
behind the scenes.
1204
00:54:06,697 --> 00:54:08,442
Well, if it's something
you don't want to do,
1205
00:54:08,466 --> 00:54:11,567
then why are you doing it?
1206
00:54:11,602 --> 00:54:15,804
It's important to my mom.
1207
00:54:15,839 --> 00:54:18,973
Yeah, but what's important
to you?
1208
00:54:20,610 --> 00:54:24,445
I guess I haven't figured
that out just yet.
1209
00:54:24,514 --> 00:54:26,714
When I was a freshman
in high school,
1210
00:54:26,750 --> 00:54:29,984
I counted down the days
until football try-outs.
1211
00:54:30,020 --> 00:54:31,686
My brother Steve was
a quarterback,
1212
00:54:31,755 --> 00:54:34,956
and there was nothing more I
wanted than to make the team.
1213
00:54:35,025 --> 00:54:38,593
Sprained my ankle
the first practice.
1214
00:54:38,662 --> 00:54:40,360
Sulked about it for a good week,
1215
00:54:40,396 --> 00:54:42,629
and then, my guidance
counselor suggested
1216
00:54:42,665 --> 00:54:46,800
I take an extra-curricular
to get my mind off of it.
1217
00:54:46,869 --> 00:54:50,170
School newspaper?
1218
00:54:50,206 --> 00:54:53,640
The worst thing that happened to
me turned out to be the best.
1219
00:54:53,676 --> 00:54:56,977
Well, I like to think that
what we're truly meant to do
1220
00:54:57,046 --> 00:55:00,747
finds us eventually.
1221
00:55:00,783 --> 00:55:02,850
Why did you come here?
1222
00:55:02,885 --> 00:55:05,384
What do you mean?
1223
00:55:05,453 --> 00:55:07,019
I don't know many people
1224
00:55:07,088 --> 00:55:08,566
who would put their holiday
plans on hold
1225
00:55:08,590 --> 00:55:10,556
for a family they haven't met.
1226
00:55:10,592 --> 00:55:13,392
Well, to be honest,
I almost didn't come.
1227
00:55:13,428 --> 00:55:15,161
I thought Harper
would be disappointed.
1228
00:55:15,196 --> 00:55:18,097
Disappointed? Why?
1229
00:55:18,132 --> 00:55:20,600
Well, she asked for my mom.
1230
00:55:20,635 --> 00:55:23,603
I didn't know how
she'd react when I showed up.
1231
00:55:23,638 --> 00:55:26,005
I think she was glad it was you.
1232
00:55:28,710 --> 00:55:30,842
I'm glad it was you.
1233
00:55:36,016 --> 00:55:37,849
Where are they all
rushing off to?
1234
00:55:37,885 --> 00:55:39,351
You know what,
we gotta go. Yep.
1235
00:55:39,386 --> 00:55:40,852
What's going on?
1236
00:55:40,888 --> 00:55:42,454
- We're gonna miss it.
- Okay!
1237
00:55:42,489 --> 00:55:44,956
Yep, come on.
1238
00:55:46,393 --> 00:55:47,592
Excuse me.
1239
00:55:47,628 --> 00:55:49,027
No, that way.
1240
00:55:50,430 --> 00:55:51,875
Are you gonna tell me
what's going on?
1241
00:55:51,899 --> 00:55:53,265
No, I'm going to show you.
1242
00:55:53,300 --> 00:55:55,432
Three, two, one!
1243
00:55:55,468 --> 00:55:57,601
Merry Christmas!
1244
00:56:02,909 --> 00:56:04,708
Can't come to Christmas
on Main Street
1245
00:56:04,777 --> 00:56:06,477
and miss the best part.
1246
00:56:06,512 --> 00:56:09,980
Well, it looks like somebody
found their Christmas spirit.
1247
00:56:10,049 --> 00:56:12,549
You were right.
1248
00:56:12,585 --> 00:56:15,619
I was too busy
chasing the next story,
1249
00:56:15,655 --> 00:56:19,089
and I forgot about all the
things that were important.
1250
00:56:19,125 --> 00:56:22,926
These traditions used to mean
something to me.
1251
00:56:22,961 --> 00:56:25,428
I guess they still do.
1252
00:56:26,898 --> 00:56:30,767
Well, it is pretty spectacular.
1253
00:56:30,802 --> 00:56:33,236
It is.
1254
00:56:34,973 --> 00:56:38,041
Candace, it is you!
1255
00:56:38,076 --> 00:56:42,912
I'm sorry.
Am I interrupting something?
1256
00:56:42,948 --> 00:56:44,414
No, no, no!
1257
00:56:44,449 --> 00:56:46,315
Yeah, we were just enjoying
the tree-lighting.
1258
00:56:46,383 --> 00:56:48,350
Wonderful!
1259
00:56:48,385 --> 00:56:50,552
It really is something, Mayor.
1260
00:56:50,587 --> 00:56:51,887
Yes, it is!
1261
00:56:51,956 --> 00:56:54,022
The events committee
does a fine job.
1262
00:56:54,091 --> 00:56:55,324
Yeah.
1263
00:56:55,359 --> 00:56:56,959
I was hoping to convince you
1264
00:56:56,994 --> 00:56:59,227
to come up and pose
for some pictures.
1265
00:56:59,263 --> 00:57:02,731
There are a lot of people that
are very excited to meet you!
1266
00:57:04,668 --> 00:57:07,069
Yeah, I'll be fine.
1267
00:57:07,104 --> 00:57:08,403
Okay.
1268
00:57:08,439 --> 00:57:09,770
You should go.
1269
00:57:09,806 --> 00:57:11,372
Yes, of course, I would love to.
1270
00:57:11,407 --> 00:57:12,940
Wonderful.
1271
00:57:13,009 --> 00:57:14,508
I'll bring her right back.
1272
00:57:14,544 --> 00:57:15,710
Thank you.
1273
00:57:19,182 --> 00:57:20,381
Me first!
1274
00:57:20,416 --> 00:57:22,717
Yes, absolutely.
1275
00:57:32,962 --> 00:57:35,428
I had a really good time
tonight.
1276
00:57:35,464 --> 00:57:37,931
Yeah, me too.
1277
00:57:40,469 --> 00:57:42,969
Good night, John.
1278
00:57:43,005 --> 00:57:45,472
Good night, Candace.
1279
00:57:50,879 --> 00:57:52,112
Good night, John!
1280
00:57:54,750 --> 00:57:57,283
Good night, Mrs. Deevers!
1281
00:57:57,319 --> 00:57:59,785
Bye.
1282
00:58:13,701 --> 00:58:14,900
Hi.
1283
00:58:14,935 --> 00:58:16,101
Ms. Livingstone!
1284
00:58:16,170 --> 00:58:17,536
Yes?
1285
00:58:17,571 --> 00:58:20,205
I have something for you.
1286
00:58:20,274 --> 00:58:22,674
I'm sorry,
it didn't come with a note.
1287
00:58:22,743 --> 00:58:24,375
That's okay.
1288
00:58:24,411 --> 00:58:26,577
I think I know who sent me this.
1289
00:58:26,613 --> 00:58:28,257
Would you mind putting it
up in my room for me?
1290
00:58:28,281 --> 00:58:29,480
I'm heading out.
1291
00:58:29,516 --> 00:58:30,715
Absolutely!
1292
00:58:30,750 --> 00:58:32,850
Thanks.
1293
00:58:32,886 --> 00:58:34,252
I saw the notes in your desk.
1294
00:58:34,287 --> 00:58:35,453
It's great stuff.
1295
00:58:35,488 --> 00:58:37,121
I mean, she faked knitting
a scarf?
1296
00:58:37,157 --> 00:58:38,756
No, it was a hunch.
1297
00:58:38,792 --> 00:58:40,658
I mean, I don't have any proof.
1298
00:58:40,693 --> 00:58:42,226
It's a whole lot of nothing.
1299
00:58:42,295 --> 00:58:43,795
The Queen of Crafts' daughter
1300
00:58:43,830 --> 00:58:45,196
doesn't know anything
about crafts
1301
00:58:45,265 --> 00:58:46,625
and you don't think
that's a story?
1302
00:58:48,168 --> 00:58:50,634
I want something on my desk
by tomorrow.
1303
00:59:00,112 --> 00:59:01,645
Candace could hide outside.
1304
00:59:01,713 --> 00:59:03,680
So, when Dad walks in,
he won't suspect a thing!
1305
00:59:03,715 --> 00:59:05,382
Outside? In the snow?
1306
00:59:05,417 --> 00:59:07,317
I didn't think of that.
1307
00:59:07,352 --> 00:59:08,830
All right,
time to roll out the dough.
1308
00:59:08,854 --> 00:59:10,020
Can I do it?
1309
00:59:10,089 --> 00:59:12,122
Yes. Of course!
1310
00:59:12,157 --> 00:59:14,390
Let's see. Yeah.
1311
00:59:14,425 --> 00:59:15,724
Good.
1312
00:59:17,095 --> 00:59:20,029
We weren't looking
at the camera.
1313
00:59:20,064 --> 00:59:22,331
I know. That's my favourite
kind of picture.
1314
00:59:22,366 --> 00:59:23,666
Why?
1315
00:59:23,734 --> 00:59:26,302
Because, because I get
something real.
1316
00:59:26,370 --> 00:59:28,037
Okay, bye-bye.
1317
00:59:28,072 --> 00:59:29,505
That was Betty Ryerson.
1318
00:59:29,540 --> 00:59:30,973
She wanted to know
1319
00:59:31,008 --> 00:59:32,453
if she could help
with Steve's homecoming.
1320
00:59:32,477 --> 00:59:35,611
Nearly half the town's
called to get involved.
1321
00:59:35,646 --> 00:59:38,080
If more people want
to come and celebrate,
1322
00:59:38,116 --> 00:59:40,548
why don't we make it
a big party.
1323
00:59:40,584 --> 00:59:42,016
Yeah!
1324
00:59:42,052 --> 00:59:44,119
I don't know. How big?
1325
00:59:44,154 --> 00:59:47,455
We could cook a whole Christmas
meal, just like that!
1326
00:59:47,491 --> 00:59:49,424
All right! Let's do it!
1327
00:59:50,927 --> 00:59:53,394
Can you, Candace?
1328
00:59:53,430 --> 00:59:55,497
Me?
1329
00:59:55,532 --> 00:59:57,499
Cook a whole Christmas dinner?
1330
00:59:57,534 --> 00:59:59,067
Well, we'd help, of course.
1331
00:59:59,102 --> 01:00:01,636
Naturally, we are not up to
your level of expertise.
1332
01:00:01,705 --> 01:00:05,672
A Christmas dinner
for the whole town!
1333
01:00:05,708 --> 01:00:08,642
Yeah, the whole town.
1334
01:00:08,677 --> 01:00:10,344
Here.
1335
01:00:10,412 --> 01:00:14,014
Probably mostly just watching
a true professional at work.
1336
01:00:15,251 --> 01:00:17,918
Just... just watching.
1337
01:00:17,987 --> 01:00:20,354
Please, Candace,
it would be so cool!
1338
01:00:23,159 --> 01:00:25,092
Well, sure.
1339
01:00:25,127 --> 01:00:27,761
You know, I'd be happy to.
1340
01:00:27,830 --> 01:00:29,529
That's wonderful!
1341
01:00:29,564 --> 01:00:31,397
So exciting.
That's great!
1342
01:00:31,466 --> 01:00:34,400
Mrs. Deevers, just the person
I was looking for.
1343
01:00:34,435 --> 01:00:36,068
How can I help you?
1344
01:00:36,104 --> 01:00:38,204
Well, I'm going to be cooking
a homecoming dinner.
1345
01:00:38,239 --> 01:00:39,739
I heard!
1346
01:00:39,774 --> 01:00:41,407
You heard? Already?
1347
01:00:41,476 --> 01:00:42,875
Word travels fast.
1348
01:00:42,911 --> 01:00:45,678
In a small town, right.
1349
01:00:45,747 --> 01:00:48,114
With you at the helm, we are
certainly in for a treat!
1350
01:00:48,149 --> 01:00:50,516
Right, well,
1351
01:00:50,552 --> 01:00:52,630
that was actually what I wanted
to talk to you about.
1352
01:00:52,654 --> 01:00:54,886
Do you think that I could
use your kitchen tonight?
1353
01:00:54,955 --> 01:00:56,922
My kitchen?
1354
01:00:56,957 --> 01:00:59,558
Yeah, I wanted to test out
some new recipes.
1355
01:00:59,593 --> 01:01:03,328
Oh, well, of course!
1356
01:01:03,363 --> 01:01:04,930
Great.
1357
01:01:04,998 --> 01:01:06,498
Okay, thank you.
1358
01:01:10,971 --> 01:01:13,438
My kitchen!
1359
01:01:38,431 --> 01:01:39,830
Is it true?
1360
01:01:41,100 --> 01:01:43,533
Is it a perfect cake?
1361
01:01:43,602 --> 01:01:45,034
Well, you know,
1362
01:01:45,103 --> 01:01:46,836
it has everything you need
right in the box,
1363
01:01:46,905 --> 01:01:48,382
so it sort of takes
the guesswork out.
1364
01:01:48,406 --> 01:01:50,206
Are you following me?
1365
01:01:50,242 --> 01:01:52,475
No...
1366
01:01:52,510 --> 01:01:54,010
No.
1367
01:01:54,045 --> 01:01:56,145
I just had to grab...
1368
01:01:56,181 --> 01:01:57,747
- Lettuce?
- Right.
1369
01:01:57,782 --> 01:02:00,250
- Got it.
- Yeah.
1370
01:02:02,287 --> 01:02:04,988
I heard you were making
Christmas dinner for us.
1371
01:02:05,023 --> 01:02:08,490
I wanted to make sure
that you were okay with that.
1372
01:02:08,525 --> 01:02:10,459
Yeah, why wouldn't I be?
1373
01:02:10,494 --> 01:02:12,794
'Cause you're our guest,
1374
01:02:12,863 --> 01:02:15,931
and I don't want you to feel
like you have to do anything
1375
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:18,066
that you don't want to do.
1376
01:02:18,135 --> 01:02:20,102
No, no, I do.
I really do.
1377
01:02:20,137 --> 01:02:21,737
So, it's good?
1378
01:02:21,772 --> 01:02:23,905
Yeah, no, absolutely.
1379
01:02:23,941 --> 01:02:25,941
In fact, I'm so inspired
1380
01:02:26,010 --> 01:02:27,988
I thought I would try out
some new recipes tonight.
1381
01:02:28,012 --> 01:02:31,280
Okay, I mean,
I would love to help.
1382
01:02:31,315 --> 01:02:33,347
I mean, I'm all thumbs
in the kitchen,
1383
01:02:33,416 --> 01:02:35,449
but I'm a great taste-tester.
1384
01:02:35,485 --> 01:02:37,451
I...
1385
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:39,086
I really appreciate that,
1386
01:02:39,122 --> 01:02:41,555
but I think I'm gonna
fly solo on this one.
1387
01:02:41,591 --> 01:02:43,524
Yeah, no, I understand.
1388
01:02:43,559 --> 01:02:45,159
Yeah, no, just do the...
1389
01:02:45,194 --> 01:02:46,927
- Okay.
- You know, whatever.
1390
01:02:46,963 --> 01:02:48,562
- Yeah.
- And then, I'll...
1391
01:02:52,201 --> 01:02:53,479
I guess I'll see you
at the party.
1392
01:02:53,503 --> 01:02:57,471
Yeah! Yeah.
I'll be there.
1393
01:02:57,507 --> 01:03:00,440
Right.
1394
01:03:00,475 --> 01:03:02,409
- Bye.
- Yeah.
1395
01:03:07,949 --> 01:03:10,150
All right, let's do this.
1396
01:03:53,126 --> 01:03:54,459
Hi.
1397
01:03:54,494 --> 01:03:57,295
Mrs. Deevers.
1398
01:03:57,330 --> 01:04:00,798
I came to see how
the trial run was going.
1399
01:04:00,867 --> 01:04:04,035
Well, I think your oven
might run a little hot.
1400
01:04:04,070 --> 01:04:06,304
Oh, dear! Really?
1401
01:04:06,339 --> 01:04:09,440
Should I have someone come in
and look at it, do you think?
1402
01:04:09,476 --> 01:04:12,242
No, no.
1403
01:04:12,277 --> 01:04:16,880
Your oven's fine.
I can't do this.
1404
01:04:18,951 --> 01:04:22,419
I thought this trip
would get me ready
1405
01:04:22,454 --> 01:04:26,456
so that I could take over
for my mom, but...
1406
01:04:26,525 --> 01:04:28,058
I just, I can't do it!
1407
01:04:28,093 --> 01:04:30,360
I let her down.
1408
01:04:30,396 --> 01:04:31,995
No.
1409
01:04:32,030 --> 01:04:34,231
I can't make
a snowflake pancake.
1410
01:04:34,266 --> 01:04:36,633
I can't build a gingerbread house!
1411
01:04:36,702 --> 01:04:38,934
I don't know
how to darn a sock.
1412
01:04:39,003 --> 01:04:40,703
Whatever that means!
1413
01:04:40,738 --> 01:04:42,805
It's just to sew, dear.
1414
01:04:42,840 --> 01:04:44,774
Then, why don't they
just say that?
1415
01:04:47,245 --> 01:04:50,346
I mean, she gave me pages
and pages of notes,
1416
01:04:50,381 --> 01:04:53,382
and I still couldn't get it
right!
1417
01:04:53,418 --> 01:04:55,651
Here.
1418
01:04:55,686 --> 01:04:57,653
Oh, my!
1419
01:04:57,688 --> 01:05:01,791
These are very good.
1420
01:05:01,858 --> 01:05:05,326
Classic Liz Livingstone
Christmas.
1421
01:05:05,362 --> 01:05:06,995
Yeah.
1422
01:05:07,030 --> 01:05:13,234
But what giving the Ryans
a Candace Livingstone one?
1423
01:05:13,270 --> 01:05:16,538
I don't even know that that is.
1424
01:05:16,573 --> 01:05:21,509
Well, maybe this is your chance
to find out.
1425
01:05:23,947 --> 01:05:29,983
And Candace...
your secret is safe with me, dear.
1426
01:05:55,610 --> 01:05:57,743
Hello?
1427
01:05:57,779 --> 01:05:59,557
Hello, Ms. Livingstone,
someone's here to see you.
1428
01:05:59,581 --> 01:06:01,214
Okay.
1429
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:07,520
Mom!
1430
01:06:07,589 --> 01:06:10,256
Have you tried this eggnog?
1431
01:06:10,291 --> 01:06:11,824
It's wonderful.
1432
01:06:15,897 --> 01:06:18,029
We're gonna have to find room
for more than 50 people.
1433
01:06:18,065 --> 01:06:19,664
Luckily, the neighbour
three doors down,
1434
01:06:19,700 --> 01:06:22,300
he's gonna let people park in
his driveway to avoid suspicion.
1435
01:06:22,336 --> 01:06:23,969
- Clever.
- Yeah.
1436
01:06:24,037 --> 01:06:26,049
And I have gone through all of
their old Christmas photos.
1437
01:06:26,073 --> 01:06:27,739
I was thinking maybe
we could highlight
1438
01:06:27,808 --> 01:06:29,441
some of their family traditions.
1439
01:06:29,476 --> 01:06:31,977
I'm gonna do a dessert table
and a full Christmas dinner.
1440
01:06:32,012 --> 01:06:34,779
It'll be mashed potatoes,
green beans, turkey.
1441
01:06:34,815 --> 01:06:37,215
I think roast would be
more of a showstopper.
1442
01:06:37,251 --> 01:06:38,451
You know, I can make a call...
1443
01:06:38,485 --> 01:06:40,852
Mom?
1444
01:06:40,888 --> 01:06:43,087
I built the menu
around the family.
1445
01:06:43,122 --> 01:06:45,055
Every dish has a special
memory for them.
1446
01:06:45,091 --> 01:06:46,891
Of course.
1447
01:06:48,761 --> 01:06:52,830
Well, I'm not sure that I would
do a Brussel sprout dish
1448
01:06:52,865 --> 01:06:55,099
with a green bean casserole.
1449
01:06:55,134 --> 01:06:57,968
But the Ryan family would.
1450
01:06:58,004 --> 01:06:59,803
Well, I guess I just
want it to be perfect.
1451
01:06:59,872 --> 01:07:01,372
It will be perfect, for them.
1452
01:07:01,407 --> 01:07:02,706
Right.
1453
01:07:02,742 --> 01:07:04,408
Just trust me?
1454
01:07:04,477 --> 01:07:06,809
You're the boss.
1455
01:07:19,758 --> 01:07:21,558
Good morning!
Are you ready for the big day?
1456
01:07:21,593 --> 01:07:23,860
I am, and I hope you don't mind,
1457
01:07:23,895 --> 01:07:26,062
but I brought some
reinforcements.
1458
01:07:28,333 --> 01:07:30,466
You're really her!
1459
01:07:30,502 --> 01:07:32,100
I am.
1460
01:07:34,305 --> 01:07:35,604
Can we come in?
1461
01:07:35,639 --> 01:07:37,940
Of course, of course!
1462
01:07:38,008 --> 01:07:40,976
Come!
1463
01:07:42,513 --> 01:07:44,980
Surprise.
1464
01:07:50,688 --> 01:07:53,455
Your house is lovely.
1465
01:07:55,626 --> 01:07:58,059
Thanks!
1466
01:08:00,530 --> 01:08:03,064
All right, is everyone here?
1467
01:08:03,099 --> 01:08:04,398
Everyone but John.
1468
01:08:04,467 --> 01:08:05,800
He's stuck at the office today,
1469
01:08:05,835 --> 01:08:07,602
but he'll be in
as soon as he's finished.
1470
01:08:07,637 --> 01:08:10,438
John is my other son.
1471
01:08:10,473 --> 01:08:12,239
He took Candace on a date!
1472
01:08:12,275 --> 01:08:14,075
Really?
1473
01:08:14,110 --> 01:08:15,977
He was showing me around town.
1474
01:08:16,012 --> 01:08:17,211
And he bought her flowers!
1475
01:08:17,280 --> 01:08:18,613
Flowers?
1476
01:08:18,648 --> 01:08:21,481
Well, it was more of a branch,
1477
01:08:21,550 --> 01:08:23,583
with like little flowers on it.
1478
01:08:23,619 --> 01:08:25,385
Okay!
1479
01:08:25,420 --> 01:08:27,721
Well, we should focus on
the task at hand
1480
01:08:27,756 --> 01:08:29,623
'cause we have a party to plan.
1481
01:08:29,658 --> 01:08:31,191
So, here are our to-do lists.
1482
01:08:31,259 --> 01:08:33,960
There we go, and for you.
1483
01:08:33,996 --> 01:08:36,763
All right!
1484
01:08:36,798 --> 01:08:40,033
Well, why don't we hop to?
1485
01:08:47,441 --> 01:08:48,741
Come on, come on.
1486
01:08:48,776 --> 01:08:50,709
Okay.
1487
01:08:50,745 --> 01:08:52,344
So, I want to know everything!
1488
01:08:52,380 --> 01:08:54,179
Mom, Mom. I will tell you
all about it later.
1489
01:08:54,749 --> 01:08:56,682
- Later.
- Later.
1490
01:08:56,751 --> 01:08:59,184
Yes, yes.
1491
01:09:06,127 --> 01:09:08,227
What do you think of those?
1492
01:09:08,262 --> 01:09:10,561
Delicious.
1493
01:09:10,597 --> 01:09:12,597
Smell good.
1494
01:09:13,867 --> 01:09:15,066
Looks even.
1495
01:09:15,135 --> 01:09:16,501
Is that... is that good?
1496
01:09:16,536 --> 01:09:17,702
Nice job, ladies.
1497
01:09:19,372 --> 01:09:20,772
Merry Christmas, Steve.
1498
01:09:20,807 --> 01:09:22,140
- It's great.
- We're all set.
1499
01:09:29,349 --> 01:09:32,316
For the centrepieces.
1500
01:09:32,352 --> 01:09:35,253
We were actually
going to do poinsettias.
1501
01:09:35,288 --> 01:09:36,787
They're Martha's favourite
flower.
1502
01:09:36,855 --> 01:09:38,321
Steve buys them for her
every year.
1503
01:09:38,357 --> 01:09:40,123
But these are antique
kugel balls
1504
01:09:40,159 --> 01:09:42,159
shipped all the way
from Germany.
1505
01:09:42,194 --> 01:09:46,363
Mom?
1506
01:09:46,398 --> 01:09:48,732
Maybe I could find a spot
for them in the living room.
1507
01:09:48,767 --> 01:09:51,234
Perfect.
1508
01:09:54,339 --> 01:09:55,906
Thanks so much for coming.
1509
01:09:55,941 --> 01:09:57,352
You can go ahead and put
your gift in there.
1510
01:09:57,376 --> 01:09:59,443
Thank you.
1511
01:09:59,478 --> 01:10:02,211
It's been such a joy
to have her.
1512
01:10:05,450 --> 01:10:06,682
You must be very proud.
1513
01:10:06,751 --> 01:10:07,950
I am.
1514
01:10:07,985 --> 01:10:10,419
She's so much like you.
1515
01:10:10,455 --> 01:10:12,588
Like me?
1516
01:10:12,623 --> 01:10:15,991
I've always felt we were
very different.
1517
01:10:16,027 --> 01:10:17,927
Really?
1518
01:10:17,962 --> 01:10:19,929
Well...
1519
01:10:19,964 --> 01:10:22,064
Candace is so determined.
1520
01:10:22,100 --> 01:10:24,667
And she's a whiz at numbers.
1521
01:10:24,702 --> 01:10:27,001
Honestly, she talks to me
1522
01:10:27,037 --> 01:10:28,970
about business reports
and market shares,
1523
01:10:29,005 --> 01:10:31,139
and I find I'm a little lost.
1524
01:10:32,976 --> 01:10:35,710
And she's always been so good
at connecting with people,
1525
01:10:35,746 --> 01:10:39,914
understanding what makes them
feel special.
1526
01:10:39,950 --> 01:10:44,886
To be honest, I wish I was
a little bit more like her.
1527
01:10:48,091 --> 01:10:50,023
I think you're both
really lovely.
1528
01:10:50,059 --> 01:10:53,927
Back at ya.
1529
01:11:01,570 --> 01:11:04,371
Hi! Mr. and Mrs. Carlisle!
Please come in.
1530
01:11:04,406 --> 01:11:06,306
- Hi, Candace.
- Hi.
1531
01:11:06,342 --> 01:11:08,809
Good to see you.
1532
01:11:12,181 --> 01:11:15,148
Mr. Carlisle,
what are you doing here?
1533
01:11:15,183 --> 01:11:17,550
Well, your mother told me all
about this wonderful event,
1534
01:11:17,619 --> 01:11:19,752
so well, my wife Jennifer and I
1535
01:11:19,788 --> 01:11:21,588
thought we'd like to come
and be a part of it.
1536
01:11:21,623 --> 01:11:23,422
Oh, really? You did?
1537
01:11:23,458 --> 01:11:25,236
Well, Liz has been singing
your praises for weeks,
1538
01:11:25,260 --> 01:11:28,060
and I have to admit
that I had my reservations,
1539
01:11:28,129 --> 01:11:29,862
you know, about you
taking her place
1540
01:11:29,931 --> 01:11:31,330
at the Livingstone company.
1541
01:11:31,366 --> 01:11:33,599
But your trip here has been
very convincing.
1542
01:11:33,635 --> 01:11:35,935
We've seen all of the positive
feedback on social media,
1543
01:11:36,004 --> 01:11:38,571
and you've been a wonderful
ambassador for the brand.
1544
01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:41,973
Thank you. Thanks.
1545
01:11:42,009 --> 01:11:45,076
Looks like the Liz Livingstone
touch runs in the family.
1546
01:11:46,547 --> 01:11:47,913
Well...
1547
01:11:47,948 --> 01:11:50,682
Please, you can put the gift
by the tree. Come in.
1548
01:11:58,091 --> 01:11:59,457
Are we there yet?
1549
01:11:59,526 --> 01:12:01,927
Almost, keep going,
keep going, keep going.
1550
01:12:03,163 --> 01:12:06,463
You can open your eyes.
1551
01:12:06,499 --> 01:12:08,966
So cool!
1552
01:12:11,671 --> 01:12:13,404
It's us!
1553
01:12:13,439 --> 01:12:16,106
I know you were kind of
disappointed that your dad
1554
01:12:16,142 --> 01:12:18,142
had missed all your favourite
Christmas activities.
1555
01:12:18,177 --> 01:12:20,945
So, I thought you might want
to share these with him.
1556
01:12:20,980 --> 01:12:23,180
Mom, look what Candace gave us!
1557
01:12:23,216 --> 01:12:25,249
These are wonderful.
1558
01:12:25,318 --> 01:12:27,284
He's going to love it!
1559
01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:29,452
Well, I think a lot
of people are.
1560
01:12:29,487 --> 01:12:32,822
Here, I want to show you
something.
1561
01:12:34,059 --> 01:12:35,258
Excuse me.
1562
01:12:35,293 --> 01:12:36,659
Come on over!
1563
01:12:36,695 --> 01:12:38,895
Okay.
1564
01:12:38,964 --> 01:12:42,365
I worked on this all last night.
1565
01:12:42,434 --> 01:12:43,733
Ha!
1566
01:12:45,170 --> 01:12:46,769
It's going to go live
on our website
1567
01:12:46,805 --> 01:12:48,216
for our special
Christmas Eve edition.
1568
01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:51,074
The perfect family Christmas.
1569
01:12:51,142 --> 01:12:52,976
We have to show John!
1570
01:12:53,011 --> 01:12:54,610
He's stuck at the office.
1571
01:12:54,645 --> 01:12:56,411
He said he was finishing up
an article.
1572
01:12:56,447 --> 01:12:57,980
He's going to miss the party!
1573
01:12:58,048 --> 01:12:59,348
I tried calling him,
1574
01:12:59,383 --> 01:13:01,049
but I think his phone
must be turned off.
1575
01:13:01,085 --> 01:13:03,096
I suppose I could head on down
to the paper and get him.
1576
01:13:03,120 --> 01:13:05,120
No, you know what?
I can go.
1577
01:13:05,155 --> 01:13:06,455
Are you sure?
1578
01:13:06,490 --> 01:13:08,223
Yeah, it's fine.
1579
01:13:08,259 --> 01:13:10,237
I have to go home and change
for the party tonight, anyway.
1580
01:13:10,261 --> 01:13:12,027
So, I'll just swing by
on my way back.
1581
01:13:12,062 --> 01:13:13,495
Great!
1582
01:13:13,530 --> 01:13:15,030
All right,
I'll see you in a bit.
1583
01:13:15,065 --> 01:13:17,132
Okay, if you run
into any trouble,
1584
01:13:17,167 --> 01:13:18,667
just call me on my cell.
1585
01:13:18,702 --> 01:13:21,802
So, I'm looking forward
to meeting John.
1586
01:13:21,871 --> 01:13:23,404
Mom!
1587
01:13:23,439 --> 01:13:25,806
It sounds like he made
a real impression on you.
1588
01:13:25,842 --> 01:13:27,375
He really did.
1589
01:13:27,410 --> 01:13:30,578
But I haven't been exactly
honest with him.
1590
01:13:30,613 --> 01:13:33,214
I'll explain it later.
1591
01:13:33,249 --> 01:13:36,517
Look, I know it can be scary
putting your heart out there,
1592
01:13:36,552 --> 01:13:40,454
but some people are worth
the risk.
1593
01:13:40,490 --> 01:13:42,790
Thanks, Mom.
1594
01:13:42,825 --> 01:13:44,391
All right,
I'll see you in a bit.
1595
01:13:44,426 --> 01:13:46,893
See you.
1596
01:14:07,816 --> 01:14:10,182
Hey.
1597
01:14:10,217 --> 01:14:13,085
- Big story?
- Yeah.
1598
01:14:13,154 --> 01:14:15,788
What are you doing here?
1599
01:14:15,823 --> 01:14:17,623
I wanted to talk to you
about something.
1600
01:14:17,658 --> 01:14:19,024
Okay, what is it?
1601
01:14:19,093 --> 01:14:21,393
Well...
1602
01:14:21,429 --> 01:14:22,861
I don't really know
how to say this,
1603
01:14:22,897 --> 01:14:24,229
so I'm just gonna say it.
1604
01:14:24,265 --> 01:14:25,497
I...
1605
01:14:25,533 --> 01:14:28,067
John, I need that copy today.
1606
01:14:28,102 --> 01:14:30,836
Yeah, no, yeah,
I'll be right there.
1607
01:14:30,905 --> 01:14:32,616
Just give me one second?
I'll be right back.
1608
01:14:32,640 --> 01:14:33,972
Yeah, of course.
1609
01:14:34,040 --> 01:14:35,540
Okay, just got to...
1610
01:14:40,847 --> 01:14:44,115
You look really good.
1611
01:14:44,150 --> 01:14:45,984
Thanks.
1612
01:14:55,495 --> 01:14:57,161
What's this?
1613
01:14:57,197 --> 01:14:59,896
"Scarf", "price tag".
1614
01:14:59,932 --> 01:15:02,399
"The real Candace Livingstone"?
1615
01:15:19,351 --> 01:15:21,651
Sorry about that...
1616
01:15:56,620 --> 01:15:58,753
Steve! You're here.
1617
01:15:58,822 --> 01:16:00,655
Yeah, my flight got in early.
1618
01:16:00,690 --> 01:16:02,290
I thought I'd come
and surprise everyone.
1619
01:16:02,325 --> 01:16:04,125
You know, you look a lot like...
1620
01:16:04,161 --> 01:16:05,427
Yeah, I am.
1621
01:16:05,462 --> 01:16:08,897
Could you do me a favour,
and like, count to 20,
1622
01:16:08,932 --> 01:16:11,332
and then, act surprised
when you go in.
1623
01:16:11,368 --> 01:16:12,634
Okay, yeah, okay, great!
1624
01:16:12,669 --> 01:16:15,402
O... Kay.
1625
01:16:17,773 --> 01:16:20,374
Let me get that.
There you go.
1626
01:16:24,313 --> 01:16:26,146
You guys,
I just saw Steve pull in!
1627
01:16:26,182 --> 01:16:27,948
He's here! He's here!
1628
01:16:29,351 --> 01:16:32,252
Get the lights!
1629
01:16:32,288 --> 01:16:35,722
What the...
1630
01:16:35,791 --> 01:16:36,990
Okay, ready?
1631
01:16:39,828 --> 01:16:41,761
Hello?
1632
01:16:41,796 --> 01:16:44,430
Hello!
1633
01:16:46,234 --> 01:16:48,367
Surprise!
1634
01:16:48,403 --> 01:16:50,970
Welcome home!
1635
01:16:51,005 --> 01:16:52,271
Dad!
1636
01:16:54,409 --> 01:16:57,343
- Merry Christmas, kiddo!
- Merry Christmas, Dad!
1637
01:16:59,581 --> 01:17:02,981
- You're back.
- I'm back.
1638
01:17:04,384 --> 01:17:08,854
- I missed you.
- Missed you, too.
1639
01:17:10,424 --> 01:17:12,324
Merry Christmas.
1640
01:17:12,359 --> 01:17:14,459
Son, it's so good
to have you home.
1641
01:17:15,762 --> 01:17:17,262
It's so good to see you.
1642
01:17:17,297 --> 01:17:19,264
Dad, look who's here!
1643
01:17:19,299 --> 01:17:23,401
- Merry Christmas, Steve.
- Liz Livingstone?
1644
01:17:23,470 --> 01:17:26,138
And thank you for your service.
1645
01:17:26,173 --> 01:17:28,906
Well, thank you
for your gingersnaps.
1646
01:17:31,677 --> 01:17:33,644
Anytime!
1647
01:17:33,679 --> 01:17:37,014
They made the whole
Christmas dinner.
1648
01:17:37,049 --> 01:17:39,150
All your favourites.
I helped!
1649
01:17:39,185 --> 01:17:42,286
Well, lead the way, kiddo.
Let's go!
1650
01:17:42,355 --> 01:17:43,954
It's Christmas!
1651
01:17:45,525 --> 01:17:48,125
- Nice work, Mom.
- Yeah, you did good, too.
1652
01:17:58,036 --> 01:18:01,437
Welcome home, son!
1653
01:18:01,473 --> 01:18:03,940
It's great to be home, Mom.
1654
01:18:06,745 --> 01:18:10,013
I'd like to give a special
thank you to Candace
1655
01:18:10,048 --> 01:18:13,750
for helping to make this day
truly special.
1656
01:18:16,655 --> 01:18:18,921
Well...
1657
01:18:18,956 --> 01:18:21,023
really, it's me who should be
thanking you.
1658
01:18:21,058 --> 01:18:23,659
All of you.
1659
01:18:23,694 --> 01:18:27,396
You've made me feel
like a part of the family.
1660
01:18:32,102 --> 01:18:35,537
But I haven't been honest
with you.
1661
01:18:35,573 --> 01:18:39,775
The truth is, I'm nothing
like my mother.
1662
01:18:39,810 --> 01:18:43,377
I'm not particularly crafty.
1663
01:18:43,413 --> 01:18:46,547
I make horrible gingerbread
houses.
1664
01:18:48,518 --> 01:18:50,663
And I could never cook such
a beautiful Christmas dinner
1665
01:18:50,687 --> 01:18:52,753
on my own.
1666
01:18:52,789 --> 01:18:56,724
I spent my whole life trying
to be perfect just like her,
1667
01:18:56,759 --> 01:19:00,928
and I'm not perfect at all.
1668
01:19:05,368 --> 01:19:08,868
But I'm starting to see
that that's okay.
1669
01:19:08,904 --> 01:19:12,672
You know, Christmas isn't
about perfection.
1670
01:19:12,708 --> 01:19:15,442
It's about this,
1671
01:19:15,477 --> 01:19:19,613
and spending time with our
friends and our family,
1672
01:19:19,681 --> 01:19:23,350
and the people that we love.
1673
01:19:24,653 --> 01:19:25,819
That's so true.
1674
01:19:25,854 --> 01:19:28,388
- Hear, hear!
- Hear, hear!
1675
01:19:28,423 --> 01:19:29,756
Yeah, cheers!
1676
01:19:29,791 --> 01:19:31,424
Thank you.
1677
01:19:31,460 --> 01:19:34,293
Well, dig in, everyone!
Don't be shy!
1678
01:19:34,328 --> 01:19:35,861
Merry Christmas!
1679
01:19:35,896 --> 01:19:37,463
Get out of the way,
I got two helpings.
1680
01:19:43,337 --> 01:19:44,536
Excuse me.
1681
01:19:44,572 --> 01:19:47,039
- Hey, little brother.
- Hey.
1682
01:19:48,309 --> 01:19:50,943
- Welcome home.
- Thanks, man.
1683
01:19:56,817 --> 01:19:58,616
James, just...
1684
01:19:58,652 --> 01:20:01,486
Liz, please,
just give me a second.
1685
01:20:03,890 --> 01:20:06,924
That was certainly
an interesting speech.
1686
01:20:06,960 --> 01:20:10,461
I think it's the right direction
for the magazine.
1687
01:20:10,497 --> 01:20:12,764
At Livingstone,
there is a place for everyone.
1688
01:20:17,537 --> 01:20:21,539
You know what, Liz?
You were right.
1689
01:20:21,574 --> 01:20:24,041
She is perfect for the job.
1690
01:20:25,511 --> 01:20:30,013
Well, she is my daughter.
1691
01:20:30,049 --> 01:20:31,281
You got my vote.
1692
01:20:32,885 --> 01:20:34,518
Thank you, Mr. Carlisle.
1693
01:20:37,156 --> 01:20:40,090
- This calls for a toast.
- Let's do it!
1694
01:20:40,125 --> 01:20:41,692
Yeah, I'll be right there.
1695
01:20:41,727 --> 01:20:44,194
Okay.
1696
01:20:58,176 --> 01:21:02,178
Leaving already?
1697
01:21:02,246 --> 01:21:05,114
That was the idea.
I said my goodbyes.
1698
01:21:05,149 --> 01:21:07,717
You didn't say goodbye to me.
1699
01:21:07,752 --> 01:21:09,418
Goodbye.
1700
01:21:09,487 --> 01:21:11,187
Just wait.
1701
01:21:13,657 --> 01:21:16,324
You haven't even read it.
1702
01:21:20,230 --> 01:21:22,664
I don't need to read it.
1703
01:21:22,699 --> 01:21:25,800
I saw a preview of it
on your desk.
1704
01:21:25,836 --> 01:21:28,737
Sorry I told the truth in there.
1705
01:21:28,772 --> 01:21:31,272
I guess you don't have
your scoop anymore.
1706
01:21:31,341 --> 01:21:33,208
It's not a scoop
if I didn't write about it.
1707
01:21:33,243 --> 01:21:35,543
Well, what did you write about?
1708
01:21:35,612 --> 01:21:37,444
You.
1709
01:21:37,480 --> 01:21:39,113
You don't know me.
1710
01:21:39,148 --> 01:21:42,783
I've been pretending to be
somebody else
1711
01:21:42,852 --> 01:21:44,351
the whole week I've been here.
1712
01:21:44,387 --> 01:21:45,919
I'm a reporter.
1713
01:21:45,955 --> 01:21:48,288
My job is to find out the truth,
1714
01:21:48,324 --> 01:21:50,457
and I found out who you are.
1715
01:21:50,493 --> 01:21:54,294
You're smart
and you're thoughtful,
1716
01:21:54,363 --> 01:21:56,730
and you are creative.
1717
01:21:56,766 --> 01:22:00,434
You love gingerbread cookies,
1718
01:22:00,469 --> 01:22:03,770
even if the houses give you
a little bit of trouble.
1719
01:22:03,805 --> 01:22:05,405
You see the best in people,
1720
01:22:05,440 --> 01:22:07,680
and you are the kind of person
that would drop everything
1721
01:22:07,709 --> 01:22:12,678
to help a little girl
you don't even know.
1722
01:22:12,714 --> 01:22:15,415
You're Candace Livingstone.
1723
01:22:15,450 --> 01:22:19,852
I am,
1724
01:22:19,888 --> 01:22:24,123
but I'm not perfect.
1725
01:22:24,159 --> 01:22:27,459
You are for me.
1726
01:22:47,981 --> 01:22:49,147
I knew it.
1727
01:22:49,183 --> 01:22:51,982
So, that must be John.
1728
01:22:52,051 --> 01:22:55,553
Okay, looks like we got
an audience.
1729
01:22:57,390 --> 01:23:00,958
Well, that is life
in the spotlight.
1730
01:23:00,993 --> 01:23:03,294
Think you can handle it?
1731
01:23:03,329 --> 01:23:05,629
I'd like to give it a shot.
