1
00:00:12,780 --> 00:00:17,040
Now it's that time of year when magic's
in the air.

2
00:00:18,380 --> 00:00:22,580
There's so many funny faces, love is
everywhere.

3
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:28,900
You can hear the carousel from the side
of your front door.

4
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,860
That's when you know it's all over.

5
00:00:33,180 --> 00:00:37,260
I thought it was good. I'm not saying
that the movie wasn't good. It was. I

6
00:00:37,260 --> 00:00:40,680
enjoyed it. Just, ice movies aren't
really my thing.

7
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:46,220
I know. I know. I forgot. You're more of
a rom-com girl. I am not.

8
00:00:46,900 --> 00:00:49,980
Grace, I've known you since you were 14.
You love rom-coms more than anyone I

9
00:00:49,980 --> 00:00:55,160
know. I don't know that it's that. I
think it's just... I like the idea of

10
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,060
two people deciding that they're better
off together than they are apart.

11
00:00:58,580 --> 00:00:59,580
And happy ending.

12
00:01:00,060 --> 00:01:02,580
Ergo, you love rom-coms. Okay, fine.

13
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,380
I've got to get back to the office to do
some work, but I had such a great time.

14
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:09,720
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

15
00:01:10,700 --> 00:01:14,200
I guess until the next time one of us
needs a plus one.

16
00:01:15,020 --> 00:01:16,020
Sure.

17
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:19,400
You're a good friend, Quinn.

18
00:01:21,020 --> 00:01:22,020
Have a good night, Grace.

19
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:23,160
You too.

20
00:01:35,860 --> 00:01:38,980
Yes, we're doing the eggshell shipwreck
on the far wall to match the Carrara

21
00:01:38,980 --> 00:01:39,980
marble in the kitchen.

22
00:01:40,620 --> 00:01:42,680
I'll pick up the backslash samples later
today.

23
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,540
That is not our job.

24
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,640
Uh-huh. I look forward to the design
coming together, too.

25
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:52,440
Chat soon.

26
00:01:53,100 --> 00:01:56,580
Hey, did you finish the nude boards for
Hannah's tree? Yeah, I sure did. I have

27
00:01:56,580 --> 00:01:57,559
them back at the office.

28
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,140
Amazing. Listen, I am swamped today.
Would you mind running them over to her?

29
00:02:00,340 --> 00:02:01,340
Yeah, you got it.

30
00:02:01,380 --> 00:02:02,380
Thank you.

31
00:02:02,780 --> 00:02:04,300
Can we have three hot chocolates,
please?

32
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:06,320
Great. Yeah.

33
00:02:06,900 --> 00:02:07,900
What's that?

34
00:02:08,229 --> 00:02:12,350
Ooh, Operation Complete Jack's baseball
card collection. It's now, well,

35
00:02:12,470 --> 00:02:13,470
complete.

36
00:02:14,070 --> 00:02:15,070
Complete as in?

37
00:02:15,190 --> 00:02:18,950
Complete as in on Christmas morning, he
is going to wake up to every rookie card

38
00:02:18,950 --> 00:02:19,950
from the year he was born.

39
00:02:20,290 --> 00:02:21,350
You are too good to him.

40
00:02:21,550 --> 00:02:24,170
You know I love a mission. I know you
do. Oh, did you get the email?

41
00:02:24,570 --> 00:02:28,710
I did, yeah. The one about us decorating
the town square Christmas tree in less

42
00:02:28,710 --> 00:02:31,730
than three days. Come on, we can do it.
We've done bigger jobs than that. And

43
00:02:31,730 --> 00:02:33,010
that was less notice, less time.

44
00:02:33,250 --> 00:02:36,180
Yeah. I mean, I guess since we didn't
get the full decorating contract from

45
00:02:36,180 --> 00:02:37,840
Sammy... She wants us to call our mayor
often, though.

46
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,020
Yeah, of course. It's so weird that he's
our mayor. I mean, we're the same age.

47
00:02:42,020 --> 00:02:43,240
That just makes me feel old.

48
00:02:43,500 --> 00:02:46,780
No, but hey, she threw us a bone by
getting us that contract on the tree, so

49
00:02:46,780 --> 00:02:49,500
we should at least try to call her by
her official title. Yeah, and in the

50
00:02:49,500 --> 00:02:53,160
email that I saw, she's going to provide
all these city employees to help us out?

51
00:02:53,340 --> 00:02:54,299
We don't need that.

52
00:02:54,300 --> 00:02:56,040
I think we need all the hands we can
get.

53
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,940
Maybe you're right. But you know what?
If we pull this off, next year, the

54
00:03:00,940 --> 00:03:06,300
entire town of Ivy Glen will be designed
and decorated by Keene and Ricken. That

55
00:03:06,300 --> 00:03:09,980
would be... Everything we dreamed of
when we started our business. I know.

56
00:03:10,380 --> 00:03:11,440
Oh, Ricken.

57
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:12,940
Oh, stop that.

58
00:03:13,220 --> 00:03:14,220
Just leave.

59
00:03:36,170 --> 00:03:37,170
Ryan St. Nicholas.

60
00:03:37,330 --> 00:03:38,510
You sound so official.

61
00:03:40,250 --> 00:03:45,130
So do you, Madam Mayor. How goes your
reign in our quaint hometown?

62
00:03:45,850 --> 00:03:46,870
It's been better.

63
00:03:47,130 --> 00:03:50,190
I'm actually calling to ask you a favor
from an old friend.

64
00:03:50,610 --> 00:03:51,610
What's up?

65
00:03:51,830 --> 00:03:52,830
St. Nicholas House.

66
00:03:53,090 --> 00:03:54,110
My grandmother's house.

67
00:03:54,630 --> 00:03:55,790
You still own it, right?

68
00:03:56,370 --> 00:03:57,890
For now, yes. Why?

69
00:03:58,470 --> 00:03:59,930
I have a bit of a situation.

70
00:04:00,350 --> 00:04:02,630
So Ivy Glen's charities, they're in a
bit of a pinch.

71
00:04:03,010 --> 00:04:05,550
Normally Christmas time is our busiest
time, but...

72
00:04:05,820 --> 00:04:10,560
Now, donating is down over 50%.
Inflation, recession, everyone's feeling

73
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:11,560
the pinch.

74
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,900
Which doesn't look good for a young
first-term mayor.

75
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,760
Or someone who cares about their
hometown.

76
00:04:19,500 --> 00:04:23,080
Look, it's affecting so many
organizations, especially the food bank.

77
00:04:23,460 --> 00:04:27,180
I wouldn't ask if it wasn't an
emergency, but have you considered

78
00:04:27,180 --> 00:04:29,820
reviving your grandmother's ribbons and
bows fundraiser?

79
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,320
I don't know. Not really in my
wheelhouse.

80
00:04:33,090 --> 00:04:37,010
Even if it would do so much good for the
town, I'd honor your family's tradition.

81
00:04:37,450 --> 00:04:38,450
Okay, okay.

82
00:04:39,070 --> 00:04:45,030
I'll consider it. I was thinking about
coming back home for the holidays anyway

83
00:04:45,030 --> 00:04:47,190
to tie up a few things.

84
00:04:47,750 --> 00:04:49,550
Well, let me know as soon as you can,
please.

85
00:04:49,830 --> 00:04:50,890
I'm on a bit of a timeline.

86
00:04:51,210 --> 00:04:52,230
Oh, will do, Sammy.

87
00:04:52,510 --> 00:04:54,550
I believe that's Mayor Hoffman to you?

88
00:04:54,790 --> 00:04:57,110
Oh, sorry, Madam Mayor.

89
00:05:04,970 --> 00:05:06,070
Kayla? Yes?

90
00:05:06,590 --> 00:05:08,510
Will you book me that flight back to Ivy
Glen?

91
00:05:08,770 --> 00:05:09,689
Of course.

92
00:05:09,690 --> 00:05:12,430
I think I'm going to head home for the
holidays after all. Right away.

93
00:05:26,010 --> 00:05:27,810
That was a long cocoa run.

94
00:05:28,380 --> 00:05:31,500
I had to complete Operation Make
Christmas Magical for my husband.

95
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,720
So you found my race car.

96
00:05:34,020 --> 00:05:35,420
Yeah, and the track to go with it.

97
00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:39,860
Hi. Mom called. Said she and Dad arrived
in Italy and are having a great time.

98
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:44,160
Told me to tell you she got the fabric
samples from... Giuseppe?

99
00:05:44,540 --> 00:05:48,120
Giuseppe, yeah. Who's Giuseppe? He's
amazing. He is a straper in Tuscany, and

100
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,600
he handles all these intricate patterns.
I wanted to use the samples for the mid

101
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,360
-boards on the Balzerini's living room
so that I can tie in their heritage to

102
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:56,039
the new space.

103
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:57,880
Great. I love that.

104
00:05:58,360 --> 00:05:59,360
All right, here.

105
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,940
Oh, but we should probably focus on the
Christmas tree design.

106
00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:06,560
Okay. I was thinking lots of light.
Light.

107
00:06:07,420 --> 00:06:08,420
Okay.

108
00:06:09,260 --> 00:06:10,460
Love it. What else?

109
00:06:11,740 --> 00:06:12,840
That's as far as I got.

110
00:06:13,740 --> 00:06:14,740
Okay.

111
00:06:16,100 --> 00:06:17,100
Hmm.

112
00:06:18,660 --> 00:06:22,960
Well, let me give it some thought.

113
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,240
Where are you going? We just got here.

114
00:06:25,580 --> 00:06:26,580
Yes, well.

115
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:27,880
I need inspiration.

116
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,800
So, I'll see you both later.

117
00:06:33,140 --> 00:06:33,839
Bye, sis.

118
00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:34,920
Good luck. I'll see you soon.

119
00:07:20,750 --> 00:07:21,750
as we speak.

120
00:07:22,570 --> 00:07:26,010
I will get the house all set up and we
should be ready to lift in a few days.

121
00:07:28,650 --> 00:07:29,650
I gotta go.

122
00:07:31,350 --> 00:07:32,790
No way.

123
00:07:34,530 --> 00:07:36,510
Oh, I'm so sorry.

124
00:07:37,310 --> 00:07:38,310
Ryan.

125
00:07:39,330 --> 00:07:40,330
Grace.

126
00:07:40,470 --> 00:07:41,470
Hi.

127
00:07:43,750 --> 00:07:47,390
Why are you looking at me like that?
Just, what are you doing here?

128
00:07:47,770 --> 00:07:49,790
I just came back to type a few things.

129
00:07:50,860 --> 00:07:53,300
Must be a pretty big deal if I brought
you all the way back from New York City

130
00:07:53,300 --> 00:07:57,560
to our humble little town. It's been,
what, 15 years?

131
00:07:58,780 --> 00:08:03,980
Five, actually. I came back to help move
my nan out of the St. Nicholas house so

132
00:08:03,980 --> 00:08:05,480
she could live closer to me in New York.

133
00:08:06,060 --> 00:08:07,060
Right.

134
00:08:07,180 --> 00:08:08,180
I heard.

135
00:08:08,220 --> 00:08:13,600
I'm so sorry I couldn't be there, Ryan.
I loved your grandmother. I was just, I

136
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,760
was out of state working with a client
and... It's okay. I heard.

137
00:08:19,550 --> 00:08:20,730
It's really good to see you.

138
00:08:21,190 --> 00:08:22,490
Yeah, it's good to see you too.

139
00:08:23,130 --> 00:08:26,430
You look very professional.

140
00:08:28,230 --> 00:08:29,830
And you look? More mature.

141
00:08:31,150 --> 00:08:32,150
Exactly the same.

142
00:08:32,270 --> 00:08:33,270
Oh.

143
00:08:34,470 --> 00:08:37,470
So are you staying for Christmas?

144
00:08:38,190 --> 00:08:39,190
I'm considering it.

145
00:08:39,809 --> 00:08:41,770
We should hang out if you're free.

146
00:08:42,010 --> 00:08:46,090
Yeah, it's actually my busy time of
year, so I don't know if we can work it

147
00:08:46,090 --> 00:08:47,090
out.

148
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,740
You know what? My number's still the
same, though, so call me or text me.

149
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,860
I have your people. Call my people.

150
00:08:53,380 --> 00:08:54,720
We can set something up.

151
00:08:54,940 --> 00:08:55,940
Okay.

152
00:08:56,580 --> 00:08:57,600
Anyway, I should probably run.

153
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,340
I'm just trying to get some inspiration.

154
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,280
Olivia and I are actually in charge of
decorating the tree this year, but we

155
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:06,680
only have a few days, so... It's going
well, I see.

156
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:08,400
I'm just getting started.

157
00:09:10,420 --> 00:09:12,660
Well, I can't wait to see what you guys
do with it.

158
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:14,120
Thanks.

159
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,080
So, uh... I guess I'll see you around.

160
00:09:19,540 --> 00:09:22,820
Yeah, well, it's a small town, so highly
likely.

161
00:10:03,820 --> 00:10:04,719
What are you up to?

162
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,800
Um, procrastinating instead of designing
that Christmas tree.

163
00:10:08,740 --> 00:10:10,560
Oh, I had a really good idea.

164
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,040
Uh-huh? Woodland creatures.

165
00:10:12,740 --> 00:10:15,700
Ooh. Yeah, so we could have, like, all
these little critters running around the

166
00:10:15,700 --> 00:10:18,540
tree. Wait, you don't mean live animals,
do you?

167
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,560
The idea sounded better in my head.

168
00:10:24,300 --> 00:10:26,240
Sammy! Mayor Hoffman.

169
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:27,440
Hi.

170
00:10:28,380 --> 00:10:29,380
Why do we have the pleasure?

171
00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:32,480
Oh, I'm so sorry I can't stay long,
but... Okay.

172
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,180
I had an urgent request that I wanted to
ask in person.

173
00:10:35,420 --> 00:10:35,999
What's up?

174
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,840
Do you remember the Ribbons and Bows
fundraiser on Christmas Eve? The one

175
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,460
Mrs. St. Nicholas used to host every
year?

176
00:10:41,680 --> 00:10:43,700
Yeah, what about it? We're reviving it.

177
00:10:44,140 --> 00:10:46,080
Well, I'm trying to revive it.

178
00:10:46,540 --> 00:10:50,360
Ryan isn't quite on board yet, so I was
hoping you could talk to him.

179
00:10:51,380 --> 00:10:52,620
See if you can get him on board.

180
00:10:53,580 --> 00:10:56,980
You know what? The Ribbons and Bows
fundraiser really was his nan's thing,

181
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:01,440
so if Pete's not into it, then... Oh, a
lot of people in town could really use

182
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,420
this. It could do a lot of good.

183
00:11:04,140 --> 00:11:05,560
And you two are close.

184
00:11:05,820 --> 00:11:09,000
We were close. Then he went off to New
York. He created this whole life I know

185
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,000
nothing about.

186
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,620
Well, he would still listen to you.

187
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,060
Could you just try, please?

188
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:18,560
I wouldn't ask if it wasn't urgent.

189
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:19,760
I don't know.

190
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:24,880
How about this?

191
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:29,100
I know that this year the decorating
contract went to Mark and his team.

192
00:11:29,790 --> 00:11:31,930
As it does every year for as long as I
can remember.

193
00:11:32,390 --> 00:11:33,470
But he's retiring.

194
00:11:34,190 --> 00:11:35,750
He's going to be up for grabs next year.

195
00:11:36,410 --> 00:11:40,650
So, if you can help me get Ryan to host
this year's Ribbons and Bowls

196
00:11:40,650 --> 00:11:45,170
fundraiser, it'll go a long way to
seeing that you get the contract from

197
00:11:45,170 --> 00:11:46,170
town council next year.

198
00:11:47,370 --> 00:11:48,370
Okay.

199
00:11:49,030 --> 00:11:50,030
How about this?

200
00:11:50,250 --> 00:11:55,730
You will personally guarantee, yes, that
we will be the top candidate next year

201
00:11:55,730 --> 00:11:57,970
for the contract if we can get the house
decorated and...

202
00:11:58,380 --> 00:11:59,380
Less than a week?

203
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:01,360
Sure.

204
00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:03,680
We're in.

205
00:12:05,500 --> 00:12:06,500
She's definitely in.

206
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,780
Okay. Okay, great.

207
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:10,040
Thank you.

208
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:11,980
You two are lifesavers.

209
00:12:13,740 --> 00:12:14,740
Happy to help.

210
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:16,300
Bye, Ben. Bye, Mary.

211
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:18,920
Okay. Wow.

212
00:12:20,580 --> 00:12:23,540
Looks like you have to get to St.
Nicholas' house.

213
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,180
Yeah, looks like I do.

214
00:12:25,700 --> 00:12:27,220
I'll give you guys an update.

215
00:12:28,330 --> 00:12:29,330
When I get back.

216
00:12:30,370 --> 00:12:31,370
Ryan.

217
00:12:32,570 --> 00:12:33,570
Stop it, Jack.

218
00:12:37,930 --> 00:12:40,930
I know that look.

219
00:12:43,850 --> 00:12:45,510
I have an idea. Oh, no.

220
00:12:45,810 --> 00:12:46,810
No, I don't know. Oh, yes.

221
00:12:47,490 --> 00:12:51,550
Whatever Operation Fill in the Blank is
turning in your mind. You don't even

222
00:12:51,550 --> 00:12:54,330
know what the idea is. I know that Grace
doesn't need you.

223
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,620
meddling in her life. She's a grown
adult.

224
00:12:56,860 --> 00:12:58,160
She's also our business partner.

225
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,480
And she's your sister and my best
friend. Well, the more reason not to

226
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:05,360
meddle. Kate, Ryan St. Nicholas is back
in town. He's the one that got away.

227
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,880
She has never explicitly said that.
She's had a crush on him since she was

228
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,320
12. The whole town knows. He feels the
same.

229
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,020
They've been friends for years. If they
wanted to date, they would have by now.

230
00:13:15,560 --> 00:13:17,020
No, they've never had a chance.

231
00:13:17,220 --> 00:13:20,640
Think about it. Ryan was dating Miranda
in freshman year, and then when they

232
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,420
broke up, Grace started dating Vince.

233
00:13:22,620 --> 00:13:25,270
Ugh. And then when they broke up...
Okay, I get it.

234
00:13:25,730 --> 00:13:26,790
But now they're both single.

235
00:13:27,410 --> 00:13:28,410
I think.

236
00:13:29,190 --> 00:13:30,190
Wait.

237
00:13:30,490 --> 00:13:31,490
What are you doing?

238
00:13:31,550 --> 00:13:33,710
I'm going to do a quick little social
media stalk.

239
00:13:34,170 --> 00:13:35,830
Make sure that he's not in a
relationship.

240
00:13:38,250 --> 00:13:40,590
It doesn't look like he is.

241
00:13:41,010 --> 00:13:42,330
He's single and ready to mingle.

242
00:13:42,710 --> 00:13:48,330
I love you and your little missions, but
now is not the time for another attempt

243
00:13:48,330 --> 00:13:52,210
at Operation Find Great Love. Especially
not with Ryan St. Nicholas.

244
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,640
I'm going to order us some dinner.

245
00:13:55,900 --> 00:13:58,460
While I'm gone, don't do any meddling.

246
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:00,240
No promises.

247
00:14:24,490 --> 00:14:26,050
Look what the elves dragged in.

248
00:14:26,450 --> 00:14:30,230
Wow, talk about a glow-up. Looking good,
Santa Man.

249
00:14:30,450 --> 00:14:31,269
Hey, buddy.

250
00:14:31,270 --> 00:14:34,250
Good. You know, no one's called me Santa
Man since high school.

251
00:14:34,730 --> 00:14:36,310
That's a waste of a perfectly good
nickname.

252
00:14:36,690 --> 00:14:37,690
I don't know about that.

253
00:14:39,650 --> 00:14:41,850
So what's this I hear about you wanting
to sell the place?

254
00:14:42,370 --> 00:14:43,329
Where'd you hear that?

255
00:14:43,330 --> 00:14:44,670
Just a rumor around town.

256
00:14:45,350 --> 00:14:47,670
Since the place has been empty for,
what, like five years now?

257
00:14:48,610 --> 00:14:51,890
Yeah, no, it was just a quick trip back
to get my nan out of this place.

258
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,300
She didn't want to go, but it was time.

259
00:14:55,580 --> 00:14:57,240
She just couldn't handle this place
anymore, you know?

260
00:14:58,300 --> 00:15:00,460
Oh, man, it's just so weird being back
here without her.

261
00:15:00,780 --> 00:15:02,920
Yeah, losing a loved one's never easy,
man.

262
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,900
Hey, everyone loved your nan.

263
00:15:09,220 --> 00:15:10,300
You know, she actually liked you.

264
00:15:10,740 --> 00:15:14,180
Even though you spent half your nights
out in our lawn here, what, putting,

265
00:15:14,780 --> 00:15:18,660
what, the large Christmas decorations
all over our lawn? That was all, Olivia,

266
00:15:18,820 --> 00:15:20,100
and you know it. Oh, Olivia.

267
00:15:22,530 --> 00:15:23,910
The house is in pretty good shape.

268
00:15:25,210 --> 00:15:27,610
Yeah, I know. I've had people
maintaining it, making sure everything

269
00:15:27,610 --> 00:15:31,810
is in working order. I just, uh, not
sure what I want to do with it yet.

270
00:15:32,010 --> 00:15:36,610
Well, if you do decide you want to sell,
I have a very interested buyer.

271
00:15:37,010 --> 00:15:42,270
And if you do sell to me, of course, I
could guarantee you that I would fill

272
00:15:42,270 --> 00:15:43,310
this place with a lot of life.

273
00:15:47,530 --> 00:15:48,530
There you go.

274
00:15:50,350 --> 00:15:51,289
All right.

275
00:15:51,290 --> 00:15:52,290
I'll make you a deal.

276
00:15:52,570 --> 00:15:54,570
If I do decide to sell, I'll call you.

277
00:15:54,950 --> 00:15:56,050
Let you make the first offer.

278
00:15:57,330 --> 00:15:58,330
Sound fair?

279
00:15:58,910 --> 00:15:59,910
Sure.

280
00:16:00,890 --> 00:16:03,250
Sounds good, sounds good. Go polar
bears, right?

281
00:16:04,270 --> 00:16:05,270
Hi.

282
00:16:05,730 --> 00:16:06,729
Hey, Grace.

283
00:16:06,730 --> 00:16:08,850
What's going on here? Are you boys
behaving yourself?

284
00:16:09,610 --> 00:16:10,990
Always. Always?

285
00:16:11,210 --> 00:16:14,450
Oh, no. I remember more than one hockey
game where the coach benched you two

286
00:16:14,450 --> 00:16:15,890
for, what did we call it?

287
00:16:16,850 --> 00:16:17,850
Severe composition.

288
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,200
You know, I thought of it more as
passion.

289
00:16:20,500 --> 00:16:21,500
Passion. Yeah.

290
00:16:21,740 --> 00:16:23,720
Passion is the word you're looking for.

291
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:25,480
All right. I'll get out of your hair.

292
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,600
I'm going to grab a bite at Beth's
Bistro if you're free.

293
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:33,540
Oh, I have some work. I got it done.

294
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:35,840
Okay.

295
00:16:36,420 --> 00:16:38,740
But if my schedule changes, I'll text
you later.

296
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:40,360
Sounds good.

297
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,360
You and Quinn, huh? Oh, okay. It's
complicated.

298
00:16:48,820 --> 00:16:52,240
Yeah? We're just hanging out sometimes.

299
00:16:53,180 --> 00:16:54,220
Whenever we're both free.

300
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,860
There's nothing serious. We're just the
last two single people left in Ivy Glen.

301
00:16:59,540 --> 00:17:03,780
Anyway, I came here to talk to you about
the ribbons and Bill's fundraiser.

302
00:17:04,700 --> 00:17:05,819
You did? Mm-hmm.

303
00:17:06,060 --> 00:17:08,980
Let me get a Sammy sign here. Oh, she
did. She's very insistent.

304
00:17:09,220 --> 00:17:12,819
Well, it's good to see that Sammy will
still do whatever she can to get what

305
00:17:12,819 --> 00:17:14,339
she believes in. Yeah, but she has a
point.

306
00:17:14,990 --> 00:17:18,589
I mean, come on, your new fundraiser, it
did a lot of good for Ivy Glen back in

307
00:17:18,589 --> 00:17:23,990
the day. And, you know, with the way
things are, I can help a lot of people

308
00:17:23,990 --> 00:17:24,990
if you brought it back.

309
00:17:26,450 --> 00:17:28,690
Listen, I know that's the last thing you
probably want to hear, but I'll help

310
00:17:28,690 --> 00:17:30,590
you, okay? Anything you need, just
consider it done.

311
00:17:31,250 --> 00:17:34,870
I've already made a list of vendors that
I think would work for the place, and it

312
00:17:34,870 --> 00:17:40,210
would really mean a lot to me for this
opportunity. I just... I love it here.

313
00:17:42,010 --> 00:17:43,010
So?

314
00:17:44,070 --> 00:17:46,610
What do you say? Will you let me help
you revive the ribbons and bows

315
00:17:46,610 --> 00:17:47,610
fundraiser?

316
00:17:50,710 --> 00:17:51,710
Please.

317
00:17:52,870 --> 00:17:55,690
I'll make it really easy for you, okay?
Olivia and Jack and I, we will handle

318
00:17:55,690 --> 00:17:59,570
everything. All you have to do is open
up the place and we will take care of

319
00:17:59,570 --> 00:18:02,210
the rest. So you'll do absolutely
everything? All you have to do is smile

320
00:18:02,210 --> 00:18:02,889
and wave.

321
00:18:02,890 --> 00:18:03,890
You're good at that.

322
00:18:07,330 --> 00:18:08,330
Okay, you know what? Fine.

323
00:18:09,230 --> 00:18:09,909
Let's do it.

324
00:18:09,910 --> 00:18:10,910
Okay, great. Yes.

325
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,280
It'll be fun. It'll be so much fun.

326
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,600
Okay, so do you want to meet tomorrow
morning at the cafe? We could start

327
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,020
planning. Yeah, let's do that.

328
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:18,420
Okay, sounds good.

329
00:18:27,100 --> 00:18:29,680
Okay, so tomorrow at the cafe?

330
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:31,960
Yeah. With Ryan St. Nicholas?

331
00:18:32,180 --> 00:18:33,180
Yeah.

332
00:18:33,460 --> 00:18:34,460
Oh, okay.

333
00:18:34,980 --> 00:18:35,980
I'm just going to go run an errand.

334
00:18:36,940 --> 00:18:37,960
Do you want me to go with you?

335
00:18:38,410 --> 00:18:40,490
No, it's okay, sweetie. I'll be quick.
I'll see you at home.

336
00:18:44,190 --> 00:18:45,190
You good?

337
00:18:45,870 --> 00:18:47,190
Yeah. Great. Why?

338
00:18:48,650 --> 00:18:50,830
Just, you know, Ryan.

339
00:18:51,590 --> 00:18:55,530
Come on. He was my high school crush,
Jack. Okay? I am so over it.

340
00:18:55,910 --> 00:18:57,910
I just know he was... A great friend.

341
00:18:58,350 --> 00:18:59,350
Nothing more.

342
00:18:59,570 --> 00:19:01,650
Which is great. You love great friends.
They're great.

343
00:19:02,470 --> 00:19:03,470
Great.

344
00:19:03,750 --> 00:19:04,569
Stop it.

345
00:19:04,570 --> 00:19:06,990
I'm just trying to be a good big
brother. Look out for you.

346
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,400
Okay, you're a great big brother, and I
love you, but I'm a big girl.

347
00:19:10,620 --> 00:19:11,620
Okay?

348
00:19:12,020 --> 00:19:15,960
Charm of Ryan St. Nicholas has long
since passed.

349
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:17,680
Okay.

350
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,480
I woke up to the snow.

351
00:20:38,860 --> 00:20:41,320
There were songs on the radio.

352
00:20:42,220 --> 00:20:46,200
I turned around and there you were, my
dear.

353
00:20:47,780 --> 00:20:54,260
And now that I'm here with you, I know

354
00:20:54,260 --> 00:20:57,620
my dream came true.

355
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,820
So baby, come close to me.

356
00:21:14,580 --> 00:21:15,580
What's wrong?

357
00:21:15,620 --> 00:21:16,620
Nothing.

358
00:21:17,260 --> 00:21:18,320
Hey, tiny.

359
00:21:20,100 --> 00:21:21,100
Wow.

360
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,380
I've had so many post-game milkshakes
here. Oh, yeah.

361
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:25,800
Everything's the same.

362
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,320
Kind of nice that things don't change.

363
00:21:28,700 --> 00:21:29,700
Yeah, it is.

364
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,080
All right, let's grab a table.

365
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,800
The key to a great design is a strong
theme, and since this is your

366
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,080
fundraiser, I would love to get your
thoughts.

367
00:21:45,060 --> 00:21:46,060
Oh, sorry.

368
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,120
That's one of our clients. I gotta take
this. I will be right back.

369
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:52,480
Okay. Hi, Sarah.

370
00:21:52,700 --> 00:21:53,700
Yeah, good time.

371
00:21:56,580 --> 00:21:59,280
You guys seem pretty busy. You sure you
got time for this? Yeah, we got this.

372
00:21:59,420 --> 00:22:01,620
Come on, I know your Nan's house as well
as I know my own.

373
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,060
I mean, I haven't been back to the St.
Nicholas house in a few years, but...

374
00:22:05,060 --> 00:22:06,060
Nothing's changed.

375
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:07,600
Must be hard going back there without
her.

376
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:08,960
Yeah, no, it is.

377
00:22:09,390 --> 00:22:11,450
It's going to be hard on Christmas
without her.

378
00:22:11,750 --> 00:22:14,790
Yeah, but you know what? She would be so
proud that you're reviving the Ribbons

379
00:22:14,790 --> 00:22:16,830
and Bows fundraiser. That always meant a
lot to her.

380
00:22:17,170 --> 00:22:20,650
I was hesitant to do it, but honestly,
it feels like the right thing to do.

381
00:22:21,250 --> 00:22:22,770
Will your parents be joining?

382
00:22:23,030 --> 00:22:24,270
They were always the life of the party.

383
00:22:24,830 --> 00:22:25,830
No, not this year.

384
00:22:27,490 --> 00:22:28,550
So, this design.

385
00:22:29,570 --> 00:22:30,570
Okay, how about this?

386
00:22:30,910 --> 00:22:31,910
Come over to the house.

387
00:22:32,090 --> 00:22:33,090
We'll go room to room.

388
00:22:33,750 --> 00:22:34,810
See if we spark any inspiration.

389
00:22:35,310 --> 00:22:36,310
That'd be great.

390
00:22:38,890 --> 00:22:39,890
You get that?

391
00:22:40,090 --> 00:22:41,910
Oh, uh, that's Quinn.

392
00:22:42,510 --> 00:22:43,890
You want to get some hot chocolate to
go?

393
00:22:45,330 --> 00:22:46,470
Yeah. Great.

394
00:22:46,690 --> 00:22:47,690
Okay.

395
00:22:50,430 --> 00:22:52,150
Can we get two hot chocolates to go,
please?

396
00:22:52,950 --> 00:22:53,950
Thanks.

397
00:22:54,270 --> 00:22:55,270
Is this your work?

398
00:22:55,390 --> 00:22:56,369
Uh, yeah.

399
00:22:56,370 --> 00:22:57,370
Yeah, it is.

400
00:22:57,390 --> 00:22:58,390
What do you think?

401
00:22:58,730 --> 00:22:59,730
Good.

402
00:23:00,470 --> 00:23:01,750
Kidding. The decorations look amazing.

403
00:23:02,290 --> 00:23:05,970
And it's really too bad that we didn't
get the contract to decorate Ivy Glen's

404
00:23:05,970 --> 00:23:09,680
downtown this year. I thought we will
next year. Thanks. I'm going to head

405
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:10,680
back.

406
00:23:10,820 --> 00:23:13,440
Jack's waiting on me to wrap the gifts
for the children that we're sponsoring

407
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,300
this year. I'm about two hours late.

408
00:23:15,540 --> 00:23:16,540
I'll see you both soon.

409
00:23:16,620 --> 00:23:17,620
See you soon. Bye.

410
00:23:18,980 --> 00:23:21,040
So, we're being back?

411
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:22,580
I'm like the same.

412
00:23:24,620 --> 00:23:25,499
What do you mean?

413
00:23:25,500 --> 00:23:27,580
Come on, everything about you is
different.

414
00:23:28,020 --> 00:23:32,080
You left this town as a boy in a
scraggly white t-shirt with jeans and

415
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:37,300
you came back as a business tycoon in a
very, very posh suit.

416
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,140
It is bespoke. Thank you for noticing.

417
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,380
Tell me about your business.

418
00:23:43,380 --> 00:23:47,960
Oh, well, we are a full-scale decorating
and design firm, and we do everything

419
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:53,060
from house remodels all the way to
holiday decorating, depending on the

420
00:23:53,060 --> 00:23:54,059
client's needs.

421
00:23:54,060 --> 00:23:55,340
So what made you get into that?

422
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,780
My first year in college, I took a
decorating course, and it was just a

423
00:23:59,780 --> 00:24:02,260
throwaway course, but it changed
everything.

424
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:03,480
It changed me.

425
00:24:04,940 --> 00:24:07,200
I don't know. I always thought you were
going to do something with fashion.

426
00:24:07,690 --> 00:24:08,589
What fashion?

427
00:24:08,590 --> 00:24:11,130
Why? It was just so bold, you know?

428
00:24:11,570 --> 00:24:14,710
Do you remember when I bet you you
couldn't wear my Nan Smith's closet

429
00:24:14,710 --> 00:24:16,110
outfit for an entire week? I did.

430
00:24:16,330 --> 00:24:21,010
Oh, you did. You showed up every day
with a wig, the glasses, that big fluffy

431
00:24:21,010 --> 00:24:22,010
dress.

432
00:24:22,650 --> 00:24:23,910
I'm not going to lie, I was pretty
impressed.

433
00:24:24,210 --> 00:24:25,910
Yeah, well, Mr. Benford wasn't very
impressed.

434
00:24:26,290 --> 00:24:29,070
He called me out in front of the entire
chemistry class. You remember that?

435
00:24:29,570 --> 00:24:32,230
Yeah, well, he never had a sense of
humor anyway. No, he didn't.

436
00:24:33,010 --> 00:24:34,010
Thank you.

437
00:24:34,610 --> 00:24:35,519
Here you go.

438
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:36,520
Thank you. Keep the change.

439
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,240
You always knew how to make everyone
laugh.

440
00:24:41,500 --> 00:24:42,760
Oh, I don't know about that.

441
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:44,620
Well, for me at least.

442
00:24:44,900 --> 00:24:47,060
Since that first day when I was the new
kid at Ivy Glen.

443
00:24:47,300 --> 00:24:49,900
You know, I took my duties as the
unofficial head of the high school

444
00:24:49,900 --> 00:24:51,560
welcoming committee very seriously.

445
00:24:52,380 --> 00:24:55,240
Well, you made that transition to live
with my nan much easier.

446
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:56,600
I'm glad I could help.

447
00:24:57,260 --> 00:25:00,100
Oh, speaking of help, did you mean to do
anything for the fundraiser? I know you

448
00:25:00,100 --> 00:25:01,400
said that you would take care of
everything.

449
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,180
But if you need help, I'm here.

450
00:25:04,930 --> 00:25:05,930
That's what friends are for.

451
00:25:06,190 --> 00:25:07,190
Yeah.

452
00:25:08,510 --> 00:25:11,130
We're still friends, though, right?
Well, come on. Of course we're friends.

453
00:25:11,170 --> 00:25:12,170
We're always going to be friends.

454
00:25:12,950 --> 00:25:14,010
Listen, I should get going.

455
00:25:14,250 --> 00:25:15,830
Okay. Text me if you want to come by the
house.

456
00:25:16,270 --> 00:25:17,270
Okay.

457
00:25:18,690 --> 00:25:19,690
Great.

458
00:25:19,870 --> 00:25:20,870
Yeah.

459
00:25:21,850 --> 00:25:22,850
Really good to see you.

460
00:25:23,610 --> 00:25:25,290
Good to see you, too, Ryan St. Nicholas.

461
00:25:30,530 --> 00:25:33,250
I am telling you, this is the move.

462
00:25:33,930 --> 00:25:34,869
No, no.

463
00:25:34,870 --> 00:25:38,010
Yes, yes, yes. This could finally be
their perfect moment.

464
00:25:38,530 --> 00:25:40,070
Timing is everything, right?

465
00:25:40,610 --> 00:25:43,270
Plus, Grace deserves her own love story.

466
00:25:43,550 --> 00:25:45,350
This is just a little nudge.

467
00:25:45,650 --> 00:25:47,490
Olivia, please stop.

468
00:25:47,830 --> 00:25:51,650
You didn't see her. It affected her. It
was so cute.

469
00:25:53,110 --> 00:25:57,150
Like, okay, do you remember the
Christmas pageant that your mom talked

470
00:25:57,150 --> 00:25:58,150
us into doing?

471
00:25:59,100 --> 00:26:01,920
The one where Grace and Ryan thought
they were going to be background

472
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,700
understudies, but then got rang out into
playing Mary and Joseph?

473
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:10,340
Yes, yes. And do you remember how they
were so locked into one another? Like no

474
00:26:10,340 --> 00:26:12,520
one else mattered. It was just the two
of them.

475
00:26:12,860 --> 00:26:16,460
Olivia, they were 10 years old. I think
they were more focused on not forgetting

476
00:26:16,460 --> 00:26:19,160
their lines and embarrassing themselves
in front of the whole town.

477
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,260
Okay, maybe, but you didn't see them at
the cafe.

478
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,800
The way that she was looking at him.

479
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,460
I have never seen her look at anyone
like that before.

480
00:26:29,340 --> 00:26:31,440
They are so perfect for each other.

481
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,300
The timing's just never been right.

482
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:35,600
Until now.

483
00:26:36,740 --> 00:26:38,860
What? I have a plan.

484
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:41,400
You're kidding me.

485
00:26:42,460 --> 00:26:43,460
Mistletoe.

486
00:26:44,260 --> 00:26:45,980
Isn't mistletoe Grace's thing?

487
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:47,240
It's mine now.

488
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:54,020
Operation Mistletoe. I am getting them
under this if it is the last thing I do.

489
00:26:55,980 --> 00:27:02,000
Why? Because she's my best friend. And
even if she can't see it right now, this

490
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,060
is the right thing for her.

491
00:27:03,360 --> 00:27:05,400
They've never been single at the same
time.

492
00:27:06,140 --> 00:27:07,740
Okay. Step one.

493
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:09,280
The cafe.

494
00:27:09,780 --> 00:27:13,420
Check. You didn't. I did, yeah. But we
didn't end up sitting at the right

495
00:27:13,420 --> 00:27:17,720
table. But step two, I'm going to put it
at St. Nicholas House.

496
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,680
And step three, I'm just going to put
them all over Ivy Glen.

497
00:27:22,420 --> 00:27:25,620
I mean, nothing... He says romance like
the magic of mistletoe.

498
00:27:26,740 --> 00:27:28,380
You know what? You're right.

499
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:31,960
Not in touch.

500
00:27:39,460 --> 00:27:45,580
Okay, I've got one for the office, two
for St. Nicholas' house. I did one for

501
00:27:45,580 --> 00:27:46,580
the cafe.

502
00:27:48,220 --> 00:27:53,220
Hey, what you doing? Oh, just looking
for my... class and I found it. Do you

503
00:27:53,220 --> 00:27:54,380
want some hot chocolate? Yeah, sure.

504
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:56,200
Two hot chocolates, please.

505
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:58,440
Hey, Grace. Olivia.

506
00:27:58,700 --> 00:27:59,700
Hi, Glenn. Hi.

507
00:27:59,860 --> 00:28:03,100
I'm glad I caught you. I just wanted to
swing by on my way to work to run

508
00:28:03,100 --> 00:28:04,100
something by you.

509
00:28:04,120 --> 00:28:08,920
Okay. I'm working with a major investor,
a luxury condo group looking to expand

510
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,700
into our little town. How cool is that?
Cool or mildly destructive to our chance

511
00:28:12,700 --> 00:28:17,240
integrity? Olivia, she's just kidding,
Glenn. She's always been a kidder.

512
00:28:18,100 --> 00:28:19,100
Anyways,

513
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,400
I just have to find them the perfect
location and we're good to go.

514
00:28:22,660 --> 00:28:25,280
But I would love for you to design the
space.

515
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,520
That sounds amazing. It would be huge.

516
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,840
And it could put Kenan Rankin on the
map.

517
00:28:30,100 --> 00:28:31,820
And it would boost local business.

518
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:33,200
Mayor Hoffman agrees.

519
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:37,480
Yeah, we love that idea. That sounds
great. We can't wait to hear more. Can

520
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:38,139
we, Olivia?

521
00:28:38,140 --> 00:28:39,140
Yeah. Okay.

522
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,040
Oh, did you want a hot chocolate, Quinn?

523
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,760
No, no, I'm good. But talk soon?

524
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:46,240
Sure. Okay.

525
00:28:52,140 --> 00:28:54,520
I have seen rocks have more chemistry
than you two.

526
00:28:55,140 --> 00:28:58,440
Well, he's nice, and he's smart, and,
you know, that's cool.

527
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:00,880
That checks some boxes.

528
00:29:01,100 --> 00:29:03,440
Well, that's what love is, just a box to
be checked.

529
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,780
Okay, listen, I'll see you in a few
hours to get started on the tree. In a

530
00:29:06,780 --> 00:29:07,359
few hours?

531
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,780
Yeah, I told Ryan I'd stop by the St.
Nicholas house so that we could talk

532
00:29:09,780 --> 00:29:10,559
about the design.

533
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,300
Do you know what? I should get him a
coffee, too.

534
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:17,040
Well, maybe when you're there, you could
go on the porch, like, really take it

535
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:18,980
all in. Maybe he's there with you.

536
00:29:20,910 --> 00:29:22,370
Okay, I know you, Olivia. What are you
up to?

537
00:29:22,590 --> 00:29:24,890
I'm just taking care of our most
important client.

538
00:29:25,370 --> 00:29:27,670
You have a glint in your eye. You got
something up your sleeve?

539
00:29:28,570 --> 00:29:30,050
Santa's elves never reveal their secret.

540
00:29:31,890 --> 00:29:34,710
Okay. I've got to find some fancy coffee
shop.

541
00:29:47,550 --> 00:29:49,150
Hey, right on time.

542
00:29:49,570 --> 00:29:50,910
What, uh... What's this?

543
00:29:51,570 --> 00:29:53,470
Flat white with oat milk and two sugars.

544
00:29:54,910 --> 00:29:56,410
How did you know my coffee order?

545
00:29:56,650 --> 00:29:58,490
Come on, isn't that the typical big city
order?

546
00:29:58,810 --> 00:30:00,290
Oh, okay, well, what's your order?

547
00:30:00,530 --> 00:30:03,410
Just in case, you know, I want to return
the favor. Oh, just a small drink of

548
00:30:03,410 --> 00:30:04,410
coffee and two creamers.

549
00:30:04,890 --> 00:30:06,230
Simple and classic, I like it.

550
00:30:08,150 --> 00:30:13,590
Oh, um... I did not know that was there.
Yeah, me neither.

551
00:30:13,870 --> 00:30:17,890
I mean, we shouldn't, right?

552
00:30:18,190 --> 00:30:19,190
What? No, ew.

553
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:26,080
Ew. I don't mean like, ew, ew. I just
mean, why, did you want to kiss me?

554
00:30:26,780 --> 00:30:27,780
No.

555
00:30:28,020 --> 00:30:29,020
Did you want to kiss me?

556
00:30:29,140 --> 00:30:30,019
No.

557
00:30:30,020 --> 00:30:31,320
Okay, then we're good.

558
00:30:31,540 --> 00:30:33,200
Yeah, totally, totally good. All right.

559
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,940
We should probably just take that down a
little dangerous.

560
00:30:37,220 --> 00:30:39,580
I got it, I got it. Hanging up there
like that, you know.

561
00:30:40,060 --> 00:30:41,340
Just put that right in your purse.
Great.

562
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,240
Anyway, it's cold, so maybe we should
just get inside.

563
00:30:45,660 --> 00:30:46,499
Yeah, okay.

564
00:30:46,500 --> 00:30:47,500
All right.

565
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:48,560
Let's get started.

566
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,300
Thank you. No problem.

567
00:30:53,060 --> 00:30:54,060
Wow.

568
00:30:54,540 --> 00:30:56,460
This is in a lot better shape than I was
expecting.

569
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:58,680
I've already done some decorating, too.
Nice job.

570
00:30:58,900 --> 00:31:02,140
No, these were my Nan's decorations. We
just didn't take them down after she

571
00:31:02,140 --> 00:31:03,680
left. She always had great taste.

572
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,540
The smell of this place brings me right
back to high school.

573
00:31:08,780 --> 00:31:12,160
I know. I'd always make the cleaning
crew use the exact same pine stuff that

574
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:12,859
my Nan would.

575
00:31:12,860 --> 00:31:15,420
Oh. It's nice that some things stay the
same.

576
00:31:15,820 --> 00:31:18,740
Well, I'm starting to realize that
you're not the same at all. I'm not?

577
00:31:18,980 --> 00:31:23,220
No, you're more... Hilarious,
good-looking, wildly well-spoken.

578
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:26,040
You're more yourself.

579
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:27,340
It's cool to feel like this.

580
00:31:27,620 --> 00:31:28,980
Focus in your element.

581
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:31,300
It's really nice of you to say.

582
00:31:32,100 --> 00:31:33,100
Well, I meant it.

583
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,420
You know, that was always my favorite of
your nan's decorations.

584
00:31:38,900 --> 00:31:39,559
This one?

585
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,180
Yeah. This is my eighth grade
masterpiece.

586
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:43,640
Eighth?

587
00:31:44,330 --> 00:31:47,430
Eighth grade? Hold on. Are you mocking
my art skills?

588
00:31:47,750 --> 00:31:48,750
No, I would never.

589
00:31:48,890 --> 00:31:52,070
I'm being serious. I love it. I mean,
she has a lot of great decorations with

590
00:31:52,070 --> 00:31:52,849
that one.

591
00:31:52,850 --> 00:31:53,850
That's the best.

592
00:31:54,270 --> 00:31:56,870
So why'd you leave it up after all these
years?

593
00:31:58,490 --> 00:32:00,230
I just didn't have the heart to take it
down.

594
00:32:01,270 --> 00:32:04,990
I hired a caregiver for my nan after
grad school, and I realized I wouldn't

595
00:32:04,990 --> 00:32:07,150
be able to make it out here as
frequently as I wanted to.

596
00:32:08,150 --> 00:32:09,350
I should have visited more.

597
00:32:09,990 --> 00:32:12,970
The last few months here, the caregiver
said that she thought every morning was

598
00:32:12,970 --> 00:32:13,970
Christmas.

599
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,040
Just couldn't take that away from her.

600
00:32:16,580 --> 00:32:17,640
I'm glad you didn't.

601
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,940
Maybe went and decorated her room at the
care facility by my place.

602
00:32:22,980 --> 00:32:24,960
Stayed up for five years until she
passed.

603
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,860
Well, something like the Christmas
spirit to get through hard times.

604
00:32:32,260 --> 00:32:36,300
Now, what do you think about adding to
her collection?

605
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:38,320
What do you mean?

606
00:32:38,420 --> 00:32:39,860
I mean, we don't have a theme yet.

607
00:32:40,410 --> 00:32:42,030
And this is really beautiful.

608
00:32:42,250 --> 00:32:46,110
I mean, of course, we'd have to add some
more and update a bit, but I think it's

609
00:32:46,110 --> 00:32:48,030
a really good starting point, if you'd
like.

610
00:32:49,270 --> 00:32:50,270
I would like that.

611
00:32:50,590 --> 00:32:51,590
Great.

612
00:32:51,810 --> 00:32:53,010
Glad to know we're on the same page.

613
00:32:53,590 --> 00:32:56,590
I mean, we still need to get a cohesive
theme to bring it all together, but,

614
00:32:56,610 --> 00:32:57,630
yeah.

615
00:32:58,670 --> 00:32:59,910
Okay. Which one's next?

616
00:33:00,870 --> 00:33:01,870
Well...

617
00:33:07,370 --> 00:33:09,810
So, you and Quinn, I know you said it
wasn't anything serious.

618
00:33:10,750 --> 00:33:11,990
Okay, it's really not, okay?

619
00:33:12,530 --> 00:33:15,050
We're good friends, you know? It's nice
to have somebody to go to the movies

620
00:33:15,050 --> 00:33:16,050
with.

621
00:33:16,110 --> 00:33:22,210
Okay, so, hypothetically, if someone
were to ask you out... Well, I would

622
00:33:22,210 --> 00:33:24,690
have to evaluate, you know, to see if it
fits in my work schedule.

623
00:33:25,190 --> 00:33:26,190
Okay.

624
00:33:26,490 --> 00:33:27,490
Makes sense.

625
00:33:28,110 --> 00:33:30,590
How about you? I'm sure a lot of ladies
love a spoke suit.

626
00:33:31,890 --> 00:33:32,890
Some of them do.

627
00:33:33,550 --> 00:33:34,550
Okay.

628
00:33:34,610 --> 00:33:36,430
Funny, I'm kind of in the same boat.
Yeah?

629
00:33:36,630 --> 00:33:42,010
Everything at the firm is just going so
well that, I don't know, I just haven't

630
00:33:42,010 --> 00:33:43,010
given any thought to dating.

631
00:33:43,130 --> 00:33:46,790
Oh, well, you know, I am just so
relieved to know that we both grew up to

632
00:33:46,790 --> 00:33:48,530
be adults with a great work-life
balance.

633
00:33:50,790 --> 00:33:55,410
I mean, my last relationship was, gosh,
five years ago, maybe?

634
00:33:55,670 --> 00:33:56,670
What happened?

635
00:33:56,770 --> 00:34:00,950
He was a really great guy. He was in
sales, and, I mean, he was really nice,

636
00:34:01,050 --> 00:34:02,050
but we just...

637
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,540
You know, we didn't have that thing, you
know, that spark.

638
00:34:07,460 --> 00:34:11,900
And I think we both knew it, but we were
just so good on paper and we were trying

639
00:34:11,900 --> 00:34:16,340
to make it work. But I realized that
wasn't what was best for both of us.

640
00:34:18,179 --> 00:34:19,179
No one else since?

641
00:34:19,300 --> 00:34:20,520
A couple dates here and there.

642
00:34:20,860 --> 00:34:21,860
Oh, yeah, Quinn, right?

643
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:23,739
Okay, but chemistry is hard to fake.

644
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,100
Oh, you're telling me. These days, it's
like firing lightning in a bottle.

645
00:34:27,940 --> 00:34:28,940
You know, it's funny.

646
00:34:29,929 --> 00:34:34,090
I feel like I'm at that age where I can
finally come up for air. For years, I've

647
00:34:34,090 --> 00:34:36,110
just had my nose to the grindstone.

648
00:34:36,510 --> 00:34:41,830
Working late, just doing whatever it
takes to get the job done, not giving it

649
00:34:41,830 --> 00:34:42,830
a second thought.

650
00:34:43,230 --> 00:34:44,230
And now?

651
00:34:44,690 --> 00:34:45,690
Now?

652
00:34:46,170 --> 00:34:51,510
I don't know. I just kind of feel like
there's a shift in my life.

653
00:34:52,290 --> 00:34:55,389
Everything that's happened in this last
year, with my dad passing, with

654
00:34:55,389 --> 00:35:00,540
realizing... how much time and
dedication I put into work, time that

655
00:35:00,540 --> 00:35:01,540
I'll never get back.

656
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,920
I mean, it's like someone turned on the
lights and I can see everything that I

657
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:07,840
gave up to get what I have.

658
00:35:09,060 --> 00:35:10,060
There's still time.

659
00:35:12,340 --> 00:35:13,340
Not with my nan.

660
00:35:13,780 --> 00:35:17,620
I mean, yes, I moved her as close to me
as possible so I could spend as much

661
00:35:17,620 --> 00:35:21,540
time with her as I could, but it's never
enough, you know?

662
00:35:23,420 --> 00:35:24,420
I mean...

663
00:35:25,070 --> 00:35:29,210
She was the only family that I had. And
now... And now you can start your own

664
00:35:29,210 --> 00:35:30,810
family from the ground up.

665
00:35:32,570 --> 00:35:33,570
If you want to.

666
00:35:38,850 --> 00:35:41,290
Should we go see the sun course?

667
00:35:41,930 --> 00:35:42,930
Yeah, sure.

668
00:35:46,350 --> 00:35:49,850
Do you remember sophomore year when my
nan hosted that huge Christmas dinner?

669
00:35:50,050 --> 00:35:51,050
Oh, come on. Are you kidding?

670
00:35:51,430 --> 00:35:54,110
The first time we had Christmas goose
was in this very house. Mm-hmm.

671
00:35:54,570 --> 00:35:55,569
The other things?

672
00:35:55,570 --> 00:35:57,970
Oh, come on. Nobody in this town makes
Christmas goose.

673
00:35:58,930 --> 00:36:00,930
Oh, and her hot chestnut stuffing.

674
00:36:01,150 --> 00:36:02,670
I still dream about it to this day.

675
00:36:02,910 --> 00:36:03,910
I know.

676
00:36:03,970 --> 00:36:07,430
I tried to make it last year when my nan
left me her recipe.

677
00:36:08,270 --> 00:36:09,270
Yeah,

678
00:36:09,410 --> 00:36:12,650
it was a massive fail. I burnt
everything.

679
00:36:13,230 --> 00:36:14,990
Well, maybe we could recreate it
sometime.

680
00:36:15,270 --> 00:36:17,450
I happen to be, surprisingly, a very
good cook.

681
00:36:17,930 --> 00:36:22,590
Well, if your baking is any indication
of your cooking, I can't wait to try.

682
00:36:24,310 --> 00:36:27,050
Oh, I'm, like, stepping back in time. I
just love it.

683
00:36:27,350 --> 00:36:28,870
Oh, yeah. Okay, strike a pose.

684
00:36:31,590 --> 00:36:32,590
You haven't aged a bit.

685
00:36:34,190 --> 00:36:37,630
Do you remember your Christmas cookies
you used to make? My nan used to love

686
00:36:37,630 --> 00:36:39,690
those. She said it reminded her of her
childhood.

687
00:36:40,690 --> 00:36:43,970
I tried to recreate them, and I just
wasn't the same.

688
00:36:44,270 --> 00:36:45,930
You're talking about my Christmas sugar
cookies?

689
00:36:46,710 --> 00:36:47,710
I had no idea.

690
00:36:48,370 --> 00:36:50,430
Yeah, well, if I didn't tell you, I
meant to.

691
00:36:50,990 --> 00:36:52,830
Well, then I'll have to make you a batch
while you're in town.

692
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:54,400
Please?

693
00:36:58,000 --> 00:36:59,000
Have dinner with me.

694
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,220
Come on, Ryan. It's like 11 o'clock in
the morning.

695
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:03,640
I know. I meant later.

696
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:05,200
Oh.

697
00:37:05,660 --> 00:37:08,240
You know what? I would love to, but I
have to decorate that Christmas tree

698
00:37:08,240 --> 00:37:09,920
tonight. Oh, yeah. I forgot.

699
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:11,780
Okay. What about another time?

700
00:37:12,720 --> 00:37:14,760
As friends. Just friends. Old friends.

701
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:17,060
Yeah. Maybe.

702
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:18,940
Let me check my schedule.

703
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,200
Oh. Forgot your busy schedule. Let me
just check, okay?

704
00:37:23,340 --> 00:37:24,340
So,

705
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:26,880
town square.

706
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,420
Do you know what you're doing yet? Yeah,
I do.

707
00:37:30,220 --> 00:37:31,920
I'll tell you, but you've got to keep it
a secret.

708
00:37:32,220 --> 00:37:33,400
All I think is to be a surprise.

709
00:37:34,720 --> 00:37:35,760
What's this for? All right.

710
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,420
I'll even show you some of my designs.

711
00:37:39,260 --> 00:37:43,780
So, I was thinking that I wanted to tell
a Christmas story, right?

712
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,760
I wanted to capture the meaning of
Christmas, how it feels.

713
00:37:47,610 --> 00:37:49,830
I want it to be a perfect blend of the
past and present.

714
00:37:50,370 --> 00:37:54,210
A lot of pressure for a tree, isn't it?
Yes and no. Okay, listen, I like my

715
00:37:54,210 --> 00:37:55,430
designs to tell a tale.

716
00:37:55,630 --> 00:38:01,750
And even if I don't have it completely
figured out yet, I, um... We should get

717
00:38:01,750 --> 00:38:05,510
a tree for this place. A 14-footer, you
know? We could totally do that.

718
00:38:06,010 --> 00:38:09,610
14 feet? That is huge. Yeah, we'll go
big or go home, right? We want to make a

719
00:38:09,610 --> 00:38:13,010
statement. And I think we could put on
the sun porch just like man used to.

720
00:38:13,930 --> 00:38:18,130
Oh, by the way, I spoke to Tim down at
the market, and he's going to donate all

721
00:38:18,130 --> 00:38:21,310
the beverages for the fundraiser, and
the cafe is going to do the catering

722
00:38:21,310 --> 00:38:22,530
free of cost.

723
00:38:24,270 --> 00:38:26,690
Wow. So generous.

724
00:38:26,970 --> 00:38:29,510
I know. People are just so eager to
help.

725
00:38:30,410 --> 00:38:33,170
You know, this fundraiser really is
doing a lot of good for everybody.

726
00:38:34,050 --> 00:38:35,050
I guess so.

727
00:38:36,590 --> 00:38:37,590
Just feels right.

728
00:38:38,230 --> 00:38:39,230
Yeah.

729
00:38:44,270 --> 00:38:47,870
I'm going to go get some decorations.
Maybe I'll get some inspiration.

730
00:38:48,610 --> 00:38:54,130
Yeah, I will take some pictures and
maybe I'll get inspired.

731
00:39:31,470 --> 00:39:32,470
Hey, Ryan.

732
00:39:34,370 --> 00:39:35,370
What's up?

733
00:39:36,030 --> 00:39:37,030
What are you doing tonight?

734
00:39:37,790 --> 00:39:39,450
You want to decorate a Christmas tree
with me?

735
00:39:41,130 --> 00:39:42,650
Love the whole town support.

736
00:39:43,710 --> 00:39:44,950
Yes, I agree.

737
00:39:45,810 --> 00:39:46,810
Okay.

738
00:39:47,050 --> 00:39:48,050
Chat soon.

739
00:39:49,670 --> 00:39:53,890
Apparently, Grace and Olivia have gotten
everything off the ground for Ryan's

740
00:39:53,890 --> 00:39:56,030
ribbons and bows Christmas fundraiser.

741
00:39:56,850 --> 00:39:58,230
He actually sounded excited.

742
00:39:58,610 --> 00:39:59,610
Was that him on the phone?

743
00:39:59,630 --> 00:40:00,630
Oh, yes.

744
00:40:00,940 --> 00:40:03,980
He asked me to get the word out, do some
publicity.

745
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,500
Sounds like he wants one last hurrah
before he sells the place.

746
00:40:08,420 --> 00:40:09,420
Sells the place?

747
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,380
Mm-hmm. I'm going to make him a great
offer. And then you, Madam Mayor, will

748
00:40:12,380 --> 00:40:14,660
have a site for those luxury condos we
discussed.

749
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:19,040
I'd have to see the proposal first. You
know that a first-class, state-of-the

750
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:20,940
-art condo complex would be great for
local business.

751
00:40:21,300 --> 00:40:24,200
Just think about all the money that
would be poured into Ivy Glen's

752
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:28,800
restaurants. I've always said I like
your pitch. By residents enjoying the

753
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:29,800
new luxury amenities.

754
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,680
We both know that the site of the St.
Nicholas house is quite literally the

755
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:35,680
perfect location.

756
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:41,500
Point is, I think this could be exactly
what we both need.

757
00:40:42,420 --> 00:40:45,360
I mean, you want a second term as mayor,
right, Sammy?

758
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:49,540
Boost the local economy, increase the
tax base, you're a shoo-in.

759
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:51,200
Okay.

760
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,160
Okay, let's talk about this more at the
office tomorrow.

761
00:40:54,620 --> 00:40:55,980
I want to see those numbers again.

762
00:40:56,220 --> 00:40:58,600
Okay, thank you, Sammy. Oh, no, no, I
got it. Thank you.

763
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:00,400
Thank you.

764
00:41:06,830 --> 00:41:08,230
That is a great tree.

765
00:41:09,230 --> 00:41:12,550
It is going to take us forever to
decorate it. Oh, I have a plan.

766
00:41:13,310 --> 00:41:15,730
I'm going to tie together the old and
the new.

767
00:41:16,090 --> 00:41:18,310
You're Mayor Hoffman and all of the
donors will love it.

768
00:41:19,330 --> 00:41:20,330
Where do you want this?

769
00:41:20,570 --> 00:41:21,750
Oh, by the tree would be great.

770
00:41:22,370 --> 00:41:23,370
Right away, bud.

771
00:41:25,230 --> 00:41:26,230
What?

772
00:41:26,450 --> 00:41:27,450
Thanks.

773
00:41:28,770 --> 00:41:29,890
Thank you all for coming.

774
00:41:30,090 --> 00:41:31,090
All right, let's do this.

775
00:41:33,690 --> 00:41:36,930
You can take these over there and work
on that side of the tree, and I'll have

776
00:41:36,930 --> 00:41:37,930
the crew finish the top.

777
00:41:38,030 --> 00:41:39,030
Sounds good.

778
00:41:39,090 --> 00:41:40,090
Thanks.

779
00:41:41,890 --> 00:41:44,110
This looks phenomenal.

780
00:41:44,810 --> 00:41:47,810
Yeah, wait till you see how the design
ties into the one at the St. Nicholas

781
00:41:47,810 --> 00:41:50,870
house. Spreading the themes across
locations. I like it.

782
00:41:51,110 --> 00:41:53,350
Yeah, just thought it might encourage
giving.

783
00:41:54,450 --> 00:41:57,130
These are so gorgeous. Where'd they come
from? Well, I might have had something

784
00:41:57,130 --> 00:41:58,130
to do with that.

785
00:41:58,350 --> 00:41:59,410
Ryan. Jack.

786
00:42:00,529 --> 00:42:03,190
By the way, I'm so sorry I missed the
wedding, guys. Congratulations.

787
00:42:04,090 --> 00:42:06,230
No, we missed you, but we understand
you're busy.

788
00:42:06,550 --> 00:42:09,650
Yeah, but I'm always busy, and that
needs to change.

789
00:42:13,110 --> 00:42:15,830
Okay, I'm going to go back to the tree.
Yeah, I'll meet you over there in a

790
00:42:15,830 --> 00:42:18,650
second. I'm going to get the samples for
the Peterson tree.

791
00:42:19,350 --> 00:42:20,350
Do you need anything?

792
00:42:21,890 --> 00:42:22,890
Great.

793
00:42:23,090 --> 00:42:24,550
Do you need anything? No, I'm good.

794
00:42:24,990 --> 00:42:25,990
Okay.

795
00:42:26,550 --> 00:42:27,550
So...

796
00:42:29,740 --> 00:42:31,540
Things went well at St. Nicholas' house
this morning.

797
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,860
Yeah. Yeah, they, uh, you can say that.

798
00:42:35,180 --> 00:42:37,880
I mean, so well that he lent you his
man's decorations.

799
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,860
Did you see any hanging decorations that
you liked?

800
00:42:42,500 --> 00:42:43,740
Like greenery?

801
00:42:44,220 --> 00:42:47,680
Well, well, well, look at all this. Hey.

802
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:50,420
Hey, I was just in the neighborhood.
Thought I'd pop by.

803
00:42:50,660 --> 00:42:54,140
Oh, okay. Well, I'm going to go see if
the crew needs help. Okay, thank you.

804
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:56,160
Coffee.

805
00:42:57,140 --> 00:42:58,260
Five creams, nine sugars.

806
00:42:58,810 --> 00:43:00,330
It's good, right? Yeah, it's my go-to.

807
00:43:01,130 --> 00:43:04,190
Anyway, I got to run. The proposal goes
live this afternoon.

808
00:43:04,610 --> 00:43:06,370
Oh, good luck with that.

809
00:43:06,590 --> 00:43:09,950
Thanks. Thanks. If it all goes well, it
could change all of our lives.

810
00:43:10,590 --> 00:43:11,590
Yeah.

811
00:43:11,650 --> 00:43:16,750
Anyway, I just wanted to say this has
been a lot of fun, us reconnecting and

812
00:43:16,750 --> 00:43:18,350
hanging out, just like high school.

813
00:43:18,610 --> 00:43:19,610
Yeah.

814
00:43:21,530 --> 00:43:26,050
Listen, about that, Quinn, I think that
you're a really great guy, okay?

815
00:43:27,020 --> 00:43:33,920
I love your drive and your ambition, and
I just... I don't

816
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:35,260
think that I can do this anymore.

817
00:43:36,740 --> 00:43:41,980
I've really enjoyed spending time with
you. I have, but I... I think I'm just

818
00:43:41,980 --> 00:43:43,600
looking for something a little more
serious.

819
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:48,080
Oh.

820
00:43:48,500 --> 00:43:49,500
Boy, I see.

821
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:54,300
To be honest...

822
00:43:55,690 --> 00:44:00,190
I'm not sure I'm in a place to settle
down right now. I mean, I really like

823
00:44:00,190 --> 00:44:05,950
you. I do. I think you're an amazing
woman. But I feel like I have so much

824
00:44:05,950 --> 00:44:06,950
going on.

825
00:44:07,950 --> 00:44:12,590
I feel like I need to focus right now.
It's your project. Yeah, it's going to

826
00:44:12,590 --> 00:44:18,610
be huge. I mean, bigger than the hockey
team making it to the state championship

827
00:44:18,610 --> 00:44:22,230
for the senior year. Wow, Quinn, that is
really, really big. Right? Yeah.

828
00:44:24,240 --> 00:44:26,180
I've really enjoyed our time together.

829
00:44:27,780 --> 00:44:32,520
If you two change your mind, I'm down
for a dinner. Oh, thanks for that.

830
00:44:38,660 --> 00:44:41,620
Listen, thank you so much for your help
today. We quite literally could not have

831
00:44:41,620 --> 00:44:42,620
done it without you, Ryan.

832
00:44:43,180 --> 00:44:44,180
I'm happy to help.

833
00:44:44,700 --> 00:44:47,320
Oh, also, I wanted to give you guys
this.

834
00:44:47,980 --> 00:44:50,940
Oh. That should cover any of the
expenses. I know you said that all the

835
00:44:50,940 --> 00:44:53,800
food and beverages was completely
donated, but I don't want to put anyone

836
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:57,260
out. We're not doing this halfway, so
anything we don't use, we can donate to

837
00:44:57,260 --> 00:44:58,260
the food bank.

838
00:44:58,480 --> 00:44:59,480
Incredibly generous.

839
00:45:00,180 --> 00:45:03,740
Oh, sorry. I got to run. Grace, this is
the Gregsons about us potentially

840
00:45:03,740 --> 00:45:06,540
redoing their kitchen and living room.
Yeah, I can come with you. No, no, no.

841
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:09,080
You stay. I got it. Okay. Their samples
are on my desk.

842
00:45:09,380 --> 00:45:10,860
Amazing. Thank you. Bye.

843
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:12,120
Keep yourself fun.

844
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:13,860
Thank you for this.

845
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:15,640
That's what my nan would have wanted.

846
00:45:15,900 --> 00:45:17,460
Yeah. And you know what?

847
00:45:17,900 --> 00:45:21,580
She'd be proud having all of her
decorations in town square on the tree.

848
00:45:21,720 --> 00:45:22,720
Mm-hmm.

849
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:23,760
She loved it here.

850
00:45:25,580 --> 00:45:27,940
So, what gave you the idea to do this?
Oh.

851
00:45:28,740 --> 00:45:35,480
Well, I found this, and I thought it was
the perfect blend, tying together

852
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:36,580
the past and present.

853
00:45:39,020 --> 00:45:40,020
Should we get back to it?

854
00:45:40,340 --> 00:45:41,340
Uh, yeah.

855
00:45:41,720 --> 00:45:42,720
Okay.

856
00:45:43,380 --> 00:45:44,380
Actually, you know what?

857
00:45:44,460 --> 00:45:46,500
I have a few errands.

858
00:45:46,860 --> 00:45:49,740
I need to run, so... Yeah, okay. I don't
want to take advantage of your free

859
00:45:49,740 --> 00:45:51,340
labor, but it has been very helpful.

860
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:56,540
Listen, if you want to get that dinner
later, do you still understand?

861
00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:00,740
Oh, um... Yeah, no, we'll talk about
that tomorrow.

862
00:46:02,100 --> 00:46:03,740
Yeah. Tomorrow, okay.

863
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:05,360
Great.

864
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:35,600
What can I do for you?

865
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:38,580
I just wanted to drop this off. Grace
left it in Town Square.

866
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:43,220
She'll be grateful for that. She'd be
lost without this thing. I keep trying

867
00:46:43,220 --> 00:46:45,280
to tell her to go digital, but nope.

868
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:46,759
Sounds like Grace.

869
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:48,280
You hungry? I was just about to order a
pizza.

870
00:46:48,500 --> 00:46:49,500
Oh, I couldn't interrupt.

871
00:46:49,620 --> 00:46:51,240
No, come on. Be grateful for the break.

872
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:53,360
Okay, let's do it.

873
00:46:55,460 --> 00:46:59,140
I do not remember that. Well, yeah,
because you already graduated. You were

874
00:46:59,140 --> 00:47:01,020
too cool to hang out with this lowly
sophomores.

875
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:02,320
That's not true.

876
00:47:03,140 --> 00:47:08,360
Okay, that's partially true, but I was
wrong. Now I'm married to my sister's

877
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:10,960
best friend, working for both of them.
And what a pair they are.

878
00:47:11,340 --> 00:47:14,760
A powerhouse dynamic duo. I'm lucky to
be in their orbit.

879
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:18,380
So, you enjoying being home?

880
00:47:19,180 --> 00:47:20,380
Yeah, I am.

881
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:23,860
I was a little nervous coming back,
but... Well,

882
00:47:25,020 --> 00:47:26,020
you didn't wait long enough.

883
00:47:26,180 --> 00:47:29,760
I didn't mean to. It's just the years
kept piling on, and before I knew it...

884
00:47:30,810 --> 00:47:32,190
Wow, yeah, 15 years.

885
00:47:33,290 --> 00:47:34,870
Do you regret any of it?

886
00:47:36,450 --> 00:47:39,190
Honestly, no, because it got me to where
I am today.

887
00:47:39,630 --> 00:47:45,810
And, yes, I love my job, but you want
someone to share it all with.

888
00:47:50,210 --> 00:47:51,570
When did you get so sentimental?

889
00:47:52,650 --> 00:47:56,470
I just think that as you get older, you
start to realize what really matters in

890
00:47:56,470 --> 00:47:59,630
life. I mean, sure, success is great,
but...

891
00:48:00,060 --> 00:48:02,620
If you don't have someone to share it
with, why does it matter?

892
00:48:04,020 --> 00:48:06,140
A little cheesy, but you're right.

893
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:08,440
At the end of the day, it's all about
connection.

894
00:48:11,100 --> 00:48:12,160
I was working with your spouse.

895
00:48:13,260 --> 00:48:14,980
But it's not forever, I don't give you
that.

896
00:48:15,340 --> 00:48:18,920
But for us, she's my best friend.

897
00:48:19,580 --> 00:48:20,580
Co-pilot.

898
00:48:23,260 --> 00:48:24,260
You're really lucky.

899
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:26,280
Don't get me wrong, it takes work.

900
00:48:27,500 --> 00:48:28,500
But...

901
00:48:28,900 --> 00:48:30,520
Without her, none of it matters.

902
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,400
You and Grace seem to be hitting it off
again.

903
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:37,600
Liv's always thought you two would end
up together.

904
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:39,800
Really? What makes you say that?

905
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:42,300
Grace has always been more herself
around you.

906
00:48:42,700 --> 00:48:45,360
Plus, I think the best relationships
start as friendships.

907
00:48:46,740 --> 00:48:50,360
Well, I'm happy she found someone, even
if it is with Quinn.

908
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:57,720
Okay, one, I love that your rivalry with
Quinn is alive and well all these years

909
00:48:57,720 --> 00:49:02,280
later. And two, trust me, I know my
sister. There's nothing going on with

910
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:03,198
that guy.

911
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:09,080
She said the same to me, but when I saw
them at the tree, I don't know, it kind

912
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:10,120
of seemed like the opposite to me.

913
00:49:10,500 --> 00:49:13,920
And he's very handsome, tall, charming.

914
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:16,360
I was going to say kind, but yeah, that
works.

915
00:49:17,550 --> 00:49:19,950
It's been really nice having them back.
It is, isn't it?

916
00:49:20,150 --> 00:49:21,910
Yeah. Do you know how long he's staying?

917
00:49:22,590 --> 00:49:23,810
Let me talk to Grace about that.

918
00:49:24,330 --> 00:49:27,410
No. You do not need to talk to Grace
about that.

919
00:49:28,210 --> 00:49:29,330
Talk to me about what?

920
00:49:29,570 --> 00:49:31,050
Oh, your love life.

921
00:49:31,450 --> 00:49:32,630
Oh, gee, thanks.

922
00:49:33,990 --> 00:49:34,990
Hey, Ryan.

923
00:49:35,210 --> 00:49:37,970
What are you doing here? He stopped by
to give you your sketchbook. Yeah, you,

924
00:49:38,110 --> 00:49:43,190
uh, left us at Town Square. Oh, thank
you so much. You're a lifesaver. Okay,

925
00:49:43,310 --> 00:49:44,370
Jack, we gotta go.

926
00:49:44,710 --> 00:49:45,950
Remember? We do? Yep.

927
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:48,760
Bye. See you both later.

928
00:49:48,980 --> 00:49:51,700
Whoa. Did I forget something?

929
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:55,220
Do we forget? Do we have my coat? I have
your coat. Let's go.

930
00:49:58,960 --> 00:49:59,960
Okay.

931
00:50:00,220 --> 00:50:04,940
I don't know about you, but I could go
for a sugar cookie right now.

932
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:06,618
Okay, sure.

933
00:50:06,620 --> 00:50:07,620
All right.

934
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:12,120
I can't believe we're doing this. I
mean, we're actually going to have

935
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:13,120
cookies for dinner?

936
00:50:13,140 --> 00:50:14,860
Are you mad at us? I mean...

937
00:50:15,390 --> 00:50:16,430
No, of course not.

938
00:50:16,930 --> 00:50:20,230
Hey, are you sure everything in this
kitchen still works? Oh, for sure. I've

939
00:50:20,230 --> 00:50:21,910
got a meeting with Stephen here all the
time, making sure everything's in

940
00:50:21,910 --> 00:50:22,910
working order.

941
00:50:22,970 --> 00:50:25,190
Got to protect your investments.
Investments? What does that mean?

942
00:50:25,970 --> 00:50:29,010
Well, you know, yeah, it's my family
house, but it's also an asset.

943
00:50:30,130 --> 00:50:31,130
Oh.

944
00:50:32,530 --> 00:50:33,770
What? Hmm.

945
00:50:35,050 --> 00:50:37,210
Uh, that eyebrow raise begs to differ.

946
00:50:39,290 --> 00:50:40,290
An asset?

947
00:50:40,670 --> 00:50:42,590
I mean, come on, is that really how you
see this place?

948
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:45,920
This is what owning a property is,
right?

949
00:50:47,140 --> 00:50:48,140
Let's make some cookies.

950
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:49,400
Okay.

951
00:50:52,740 --> 00:50:55,040
Okay, so first of all, if you're going
to help me with this, you might want to

952
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:56,040
take off your suit jacket.

953
00:50:57,140 --> 00:50:58,160
Okay, yeah, you're right.

954
00:50:58,420 --> 00:50:59,640
Sorry, it's just a habit.

955
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:01,340
It's your suit of armor, huh?

956
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:04,020
Exactly. Yes.

957
00:51:04,720 --> 00:51:05,720
Suit of armor.

958
00:51:05,980 --> 00:51:07,260
Okay, so tell me about your work.

959
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:11,340
Well, basically, I'm a financial
advisor. I help people achieve their

960
00:51:11,340 --> 00:51:14,100
long-term financial goals in the
shortest time possible.

961
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:17,040
Sounds fun. Do you like it?

962
00:51:17,660 --> 00:51:18,740
Yeah, I actually do.

963
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:22,980
It's really rewarding when I see the
look on my client's face when I help

964
00:51:22,980 --> 00:51:25,300
them reach their goals, and I double
their investment.

965
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:27,000
Great.

966
00:51:27,720 --> 00:51:32,100
All right, so all you have to do is just
you're going to take this, put a little

967
00:51:32,100 --> 00:51:34,740
flower on there, and you're going to
give it some easy pressure back and

968
00:51:34,740 --> 00:51:36,320
forth. Here you go.

969
00:51:37,879 --> 00:51:38,879
Okay. Like that?

970
00:51:39,100 --> 00:51:40,280
Yeah. Okay.

971
00:51:41,020 --> 00:51:42,680
So, how long are you staying in town?

972
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:43,960
I don't know.

973
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:48,240
The fundraiser's keeping me here a bit
longer, and to be honest, I'm not that

974
00:51:48,240 --> 00:51:49,240
mad at it.

975
00:51:49,340 --> 00:51:50,540
I'm kind of enjoying being back.

976
00:51:50,780 --> 00:51:53,700
Oh, actually enjoying being back? Well,
what were you expecting?

977
00:51:54,140 --> 00:51:55,140
Oh, I don't know.

978
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:56,400
I didn't know what I was walking into.

979
00:51:56,620 --> 00:51:57,620
It's been so long.

980
00:51:58,260 --> 00:51:59,860
Well, are you happy with what you found?

981
00:52:02,140 --> 00:52:03,140
Surprisingly, yeah.

982
00:52:03,660 --> 00:52:04,880
Makes me want to spend more time here.

983
00:52:05,220 --> 00:52:06,340
I don't think I'm doing this right.

984
00:52:06,980 --> 00:52:07,980
I'll take over.

985
00:52:08,020 --> 00:52:11,520
Yeah. Do you have any cookie cutters?
Yeah, I think so.

986
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:13,920
Oh,

987
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:17,600
here we go.

988
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:20,280
Perfect. There's so much junk in this
house.

989
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:24,360
Junk? Listen, I happen to think that
there's a lot of things with sentimental

990
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:25,420
value in this house.

991
00:52:26,240 --> 00:52:27,980
So what are your plans for this house
anyway, huh?

992
00:52:28,420 --> 00:52:32,100
I mean, it's a magical place. It makes
me sad to think about it empty.

993
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:34,160
Me too.

994
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:35,700
You're right. I'm not doing this.

995
00:52:36,140 --> 00:52:37,620
Please, justice, my nan loved this
place.

996
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:39,160
I know she did.

997
00:52:42,180 --> 00:52:44,360
I should have brought her back for one
last Christmas.

998
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:48,920
Now, hey, you look at me, Ryan St.
Nicholas, okay?

999
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:53,760
I know that it was not an easy decision
moving your nan away from this place.

1000
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:59,580
But I also know you, and I know that you
took great care of her.

1001
00:53:00,720 --> 00:53:02,380
You know what you're doing right now?

1002
00:53:03,620 --> 00:53:06,140
reviving her legacy with the ribbons and
bows fundraiser.

1003
00:53:06,620 --> 00:53:08,120
That would make her very, very proud.

1004
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:11,180
Thank you. Mm-hmm. You do it.

1005
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:14,000
Yeah. All right, you want to cut some
cookies?

1006
00:53:14,620 --> 00:53:16,500
Yes. Great. Okay.

1007
00:53:18,980 --> 00:53:19,980
All right.

1008
00:53:22,780 --> 00:53:23,780
How did I do?

1009
00:53:24,380 --> 00:53:25,380
Nailed it.

1010
00:53:25,720 --> 00:53:27,140
Hopefully it tastes better than it
looked.

1011
00:53:28,980 --> 00:53:29,980
Moment of truth.

1012
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:33,400
I can confirm.

1013
00:53:33,660 --> 00:53:34,660
It does.

1014
00:53:35,180 --> 00:53:40,100
A plus on your baking skills and a C
minus for my decorating skills.

1015
00:53:40,380 --> 00:53:42,940
Hey, no, I would give that a solid B
minus.

1016
00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:45,040
That's generous.

1017
00:53:47,340 --> 00:53:48,800
Oh, sorry, it's my tree guy.

1018
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:50,320
You got a tree guy?

1019
00:53:50,580 --> 00:53:51,580
Yeah.

1020
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:54,120
Hey, Billy, did you get my message about
the tree earlier?

1021
00:53:54,380 --> 00:53:55,380
Mm-hmm.

1022
00:53:55,860 --> 00:53:57,280
14 feet would be ideal.

1023
00:53:59,980 --> 00:54:00,980
Oh.

1024
00:54:01,730 --> 00:54:03,490
Yeah, no, that's okay. Thanks anyway.

1025
00:54:03,770 --> 00:54:04,669
Mm-hmm.

1026
00:54:04,670 --> 00:54:05,670
Bye.

1027
00:54:07,050 --> 00:54:08,050
Tree problems?

1028
00:54:08,670 --> 00:54:12,590
I just really wanted a 14-foot tree, but
all the big ones are gone within a 50

1029
00:54:12,590 --> 00:54:16,990
-mile radius, so... Anyway, I didn't
realize how late it was getting. I have

1030
00:54:16,990 --> 00:54:19,710
a big day tomorrow, but this was so much
fun. No, no, no.

1031
00:54:20,090 --> 00:54:23,590
I got it. What? No, I am not making you
clean up your entire kitchen by

1032
00:54:23,590 --> 00:54:24,990
yourself. Okay, I'll make you a deal.

1033
00:54:25,830 --> 00:54:26,830
Leave the cookies.

1034
00:54:27,430 --> 00:54:28,430
We're even.

1035
00:54:30,919 --> 00:54:31,919
Deal.

1036
00:54:33,380 --> 00:54:35,180
So will I see you at the Christmas tree
lighting tomorrow?

1037
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:36,440
I wouldn't miss it.

1038
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:38,780
Great. Maybe we can get that dinner we
talked about.

1039
00:54:39,900 --> 00:54:40,900
Yeah, I'd like that.

1040
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:42,600
Me too.

1041
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:44,380
All right, go ahead and get out of here.

1042
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:46,360
Thanks for a good night.

1043
00:54:50,180 --> 00:54:51,180
Okay,

1044
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:59,500
party people, we've got T-minus three
hours until showtime.

1045
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:04,760
Hey, Jack and I are going to grab a
pizza and watch old Christmas movies

1046
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:07,360
after the tree lighting if you want to
join. Oh, I can't. I'm having dinner

1047
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:08,279
with Ryan.

1048
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:10,240
Wait, your wife? Just as friends.

1049
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:15,120
Okay, you go home. You do a face mask.
You paint your nails. You give yourself

1050
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:18,460
a blowout. You could just meet me here
before the tree lighting. You have work

1051
00:55:18,460 --> 00:55:19,158
to do.

1052
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:21,220
I know. I've got it covered. You go. You
go.

1053
00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:23,560
Wear a cute dress.

1054
00:55:33,279 --> 00:55:35,820
close. Operation Mistletoe is almost a
success.

1055
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:39,980
Olivia. They are going for dinner
tonight. For dinner. Do you hear me?

1056
00:55:40,240 --> 00:55:43,900
I just need a couple more sprays. I
think you need to take a breath. No, I

1057
00:55:43,900 --> 00:55:44,900
need more mistletoe.

1058
00:55:45,380 --> 00:55:49,060
Do you think Grace will be angry if she
finds out that you're behind all the

1059
00:55:49,060 --> 00:55:51,420
mysterious mistletoe that keeps popping
up around town?

1060
00:55:51,660 --> 00:55:54,680
No, I think that she would thank me. I
mean, Christmas is the most romantic

1061
00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:57,320
time of the year. I'm just giving them a
little nudge.

1062
00:55:58,460 --> 00:56:00,020
Love you. Wish me luck.

1063
00:56:01,460 --> 00:56:02,460
Love you.

1064
00:56:16,110 --> 00:56:17,250
It should be any minute now.

1065
00:56:18,250 --> 00:56:21,670
Is it weird that I kind of feel like a
little kid right now?

1066
00:56:22,410 --> 00:56:26,270
No, not at all. I get excited every time
I go to a Christmas tree lighting.

1067
00:56:26,490 --> 00:56:29,250
I mean, especially when we're the ones
in charge of decorating it.

1068
00:56:29,930 --> 00:56:30,930
Yeah.

1069
00:56:33,330 --> 00:56:34,710
Do you think Sammy likes it?

1070
00:56:35,630 --> 00:56:38,370
I think we'll have to wait for the tree
to be lit up to know that.

1071
00:56:40,300 --> 00:56:44,860
Hey, do you remember when we bet that
you couldn't make it to the top of the

1072
00:56:44,860 --> 00:56:49,100
town square Christmas tree? I can't
believe you actually tried to do it. I

1073
00:56:49,100 --> 00:56:51,720
made it halfway up that tree before
Mayor Dodd started to call my parents.

1074
00:56:51,940 --> 00:56:53,440
Yeah, please don't do that to me.

1075
00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:54,840
No promises.

1076
00:56:59,420 --> 00:57:02,300
Wow, look at that. The whole group's
here.

1077
00:57:02,780 --> 00:57:04,020
Go Polar Bears!

1078
00:57:05,300 --> 00:57:06,580
Come on, go Polar Bears!

1079
00:57:10,240 --> 00:57:11,240
Good.

1080
00:57:12,220 --> 00:57:14,240
Great having a Santa man back, huh?

1081
00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:16,620
Yeah, it is actually.

1082
00:57:39,820 --> 00:57:44,080
beautiful. I don't think I've ever seen
one prettier tree than this Christmas

1083
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:45,080
tree.

1084
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:50,180
I think Sam likes this. I think she
loves it.

1085
00:57:52,100 --> 00:57:53,600
You guys did a beautiful job.

1086
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:54,840
Thank you.

1087
00:57:55,760 --> 00:58:00,420
Huge thanks to you for all your help in
letting us use your grandma's

1088
00:58:00,420 --> 00:58:02,360
decorations. I'm happy they came in
handy.

1089
00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:06,840
Oh, the volunteers are going to drop by
the house tomorrow to decorate based on

1090
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:07,799
Grace's designs.

1091
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:10,140
Did she mention we're going to leave the
old decorations up?

1092
00:58:10,500 --> 00:58:14,600
I want them to be part of it so we can
build upon Mrs. St. Nicholas's legacy.

1093
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:16,560
I love that. I'll let them know.

1094
00:58:17,020 --> 00:58:18,020
Okay.

1095
00:58:20,180 --> 00:58:23,700
You know, I think I forgot how much I
missed Christmas here.

1096
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:25,040
Oh, yeah?

1097
00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:29,360
So should we go eat?

1098
00:58:29,580 --> 00:58:30,580
Yeah, starving.

1099
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:34,800
Oh, man, I'd love to. I would, but I've
got this investor thing I need to

1100
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:36,220
finish. But let's talk soon.

1101
00:58:36,420 --> 00:58:37,920
I've got some things I want to run by
you.

1102
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:40,120
Bye, Quinn. Sure. Bye, Quinn.

1103
00:58:43,020 --> 00:58:44,020
Tell me.

1104
00:58:44,060 --> 00:58:45,060
Yeah.

1105
00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:52,720
You did not say that. I did. It was my
first board meeting. I had no clue what

1106
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:56,360
was going on. Come on. Even I know that
you don't comment on your boss's lunch

1107
00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:57,360
order.

1108
00:58:57,480 --> 00:58:58,540
I thought it was helping.

1109
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:01,580
You can get that if you need.

1110
00:59:03,180 --> 00:59:05,440
No, that is business. It can wait till
business hours.

1111
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:07,640
I'm sorry.

1112
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:10,040
Who are you and what have you done with
Ryan St. Nicholas?

1113
00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:14,140
Well, it is Christmas time and since
I've been back here and staying at the

1114
00:59:14,140 --> 00:59:17,680
St. Nicholas house, it's made me realize
that maybe over the past few years, my

1115
00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:19,240
priorities have been a bit out of whack.

1116
00:59:20,260 --> 00:59:21,600
Yeah, I can relate to that.

1117
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:25,480
You know, my parents actually invited me
on their Christmas European backpacking

1118
00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:28,600
tour and I said no because I had to
work. I mean, who does that?

1119
00:59:29,140 --> 00:59:30,520
Well, at least Jack stayed back with
you.

1120
00:59:31,020 --> 00:59:34,160
Yeah. Yeah, but he's going to celebrate
with Olivia and her family.

1121
00:59:34,820 --> 00:59:37,520
How about this?

1122
00:59:38,500 --> 00:59:40,640
Next Christmas, we'll plan it out.

1123
00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:42,660
We'll have a work-free Christmas.

1124
00:59:45,180 --> 00:59:47,660
But does that mean you're coming back
next Christmas, too?

1125
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:53,400
What?

1126
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:57,180
To be honest, I was actually thinking
about selling the St. Nicholas house.

1127
00:59:58,500 --> 00:59:59,500
You what?

1128
01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:01,720
You were right.

1129
01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:04,760
It's sad that it's just been sitting
there vacant all this time.

1130
01:00:06,940 --> 01:00:10,160
Yeah, but... I mean, come on, you can't
just sell it.

1131
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:12,040
Oh, I know that now.

1132
01:00:12,580 --> 01:00:15,860
I think I was just avoiding it because
of what it meant without my nan.

1133
01:00:17,140 --> 01:00:18,140
I'm alone.

1134
01:00:18,300 --> 01:00:19,300
You're not alone.

1135
01:00:19,380 --> 01:00:24,260
Listen, you have your friends, and...
Ryan, no matter how far away you are,

1136
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:26,000
how much time has passed...

1137
01:00:26,790 --> 01:00:28,790
Wherever life takes us, you'll always
have me.

1138
01:00:29,950 --> 01:00:30,950
You know that.

1139
01:00:33,470 --> 01:00:34,470
I missed you, Grace.

1140
01:00:35,830 --> 01:00:36,910
I missed you too, Ryan.

1141
01:00:45,190 --> 01:00:46,930
We're not technically under it.

1142
01:00:47,930 --> 01:00:48,828
You're right.

1143
01:00:48,830 --> 01:00:51,590
Technically, the bar is under it.

1144
01:00:51,890 --> 01:00:52,890
Yeah.

1145
01:00:55,190 --> 01:00:56,190
Can I walk you home?

1146
01:00:57,450 --> 01:00:58,450
Sure, I'd love that.

1147
01:01:05,290 --> 01:01:06,290
Do me a favor.

1148
01:01:06,650 --> 01:01:07,650
Of course.

1149
01:01:07,750 --> 01:01:10,650
Can you promise not to wait so long next
time before you come back home?

1150
01:01:11,830 --> 01:01:12,788
I won't.

1151
01:01:12,790 --> 01:01:13,790
Take it.

1152
01:01:14,690 --> 01:01:17,870
All right. If you had to watch one
Christmas movie for the rest of your

1153
01:01:17,870 --> 01:01:18,870
life, what would it be?

1154
01:01:19,130 --> 01:01:20,410
Easy. Christmas Carol.

1155
01:01:20,950 --> 01:01:21,950
Really? Bye.

1156
01:01:22,870 --> 01:01:26,230
because it has a lot of important
lessons in it. What, like don't count

1157
01:01:26,230 --> 01:01:29,810
your money every day, all day, or your
Christmas spirit will get zapped?

1158
01:01:30,290 --> 01:01:35,070
More like anyone can change their life,
and no matter where you are, the choices

1159
01:01:35,070 --> 01:01:36,070
you made, you can pivot.

1160
01:01:37,010 --> 01:01:40,410
Wow, so that's the boy who thought his
life would be over if he didn't make

1161
01:01:40,410 --> 01:01:43,470
valedictorian. Well, thankfully I didn't
peak in high school.

1162
01:01:44,830 --> 01:01:49,070
Speaking of high school, when is the
last time you went pranking?

1163
01:01:49,450 --> 01:01:52,770
You mean like what Quinn and Olivia used
to do with those giant ornaments in our

1164
01:01:52,770 --> 01:01:53,770
yard?

1165
01:01:54,010 --> 01:01:56,090
I can safely say it's been years. Why?

1166
01:01:56,590 --> 01:01:59,090
Because it's my favorite thing to do
during the holidays.

1167
01:01:59,370 --> 01:02:00,750
Oh, yeah? I think we should do it.

1168
01:02:01,010 --> 01:02:02,790
Are you in? Are you? Yeah? Okay.

1169
01:02:08,090 --> 01:02:09,090
Huh.

1170
01:02:09,270 --> 01:02:11,770
Quinn's done a lot with his parents'
whole place. Yeah, well, he is a real

1171
01:02:11,770 --> 01:02:12,770
estate developer.

1172
01:02:12,970 --> 01:02:15,730
I know, but I always thought he would do
something in high school so he would

1173
01:02:15,730 --> 01:02:16,730
never have to leave.

1174
01:02:16,770 --> 01:02:18,130
You know he never misses a game.

1175
01:02:19,029 --> 01:02:20,050
Yeah, that makes sense.

1176
01:02:21,810 --> 01:02:22,810
You ever go with him?

1177
01:02:23,410 --> 01:02:24,870
Yeah, I know. I'm coming a few times.

1178
01:02:25,270 --> 01:02:26,270
A bunch of us.

1179
01:02:27,930 --> 01:02:31,450
Do you remember when we TP'd his house
seven hours in a row? The last night his

1180
01:02:31,450 --> 01:02:33,550
dad was waiting for us, sitting in the
window.

1181
01:02:35,570 --> 01:02:38,110
Quinn told me he loved it. Made him feel
important.

1182
01:02:38,430 --> 01:02:39,430
Really? Yeah.

1183
01:02:39,590 --> 01:02:40,590
That's so cute.

1184
01:02:42,610 --> 01:02:44,130
Sorry, Olivia is missing this.

1185
01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:49,140
I don't like that it's just the two of
us.

1186
01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:52,638
Let's go.

1187
01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:54,180
Shh. Be quiet.

1188
01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:57,780
Shh. Be quiet.

1189
01:02:58,820 --> 01:02:59,820
Shh.

1190
01:03:02,660 --> 01:03:03,660
He's magnificent.

1191
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:05,420
I wish I could see his face in the
morning.

1192
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:07,180
I know. He's going to feel so important.

1193
01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:10,080
We're going to have to go.

1194
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:12,000
Run.

1195
01:03:22,670 --> 01:03:23,670
What was that?

1196
01:03:23,890 --> 01:03:28,090
Still no dice on the 14-foot tree for
the St. Nicholas house, but it stayed up

1197
01:03:28,090 --> 01:03:30,450
all night last night, and I was able to
finalize the design.

1198
01:03:30,670 --> 01:03:34,150
Oh, it looks like something from a
Christmas carol. Thanks. It's going for

1199
01:03:34,150 --> 01:03:36,310
Charles Dickens' Christmas Ribbons and
Bows edition.

1200
01:03:36,730 --> 01:03:38,250
It's all order, but I love it.

1201
01:03:38,530 --> 01:03:40,310
I just want it to be special for his
man.

1202
01:03:41,410 --> 01:03:42,410
Not for him.

1203
01:03:43,970 --> 01:03:44,970
Hey. Hey.

1204
01:03:45,710 --> 01:03:48,750
Hi. I was just about to head over to
your house. The volunteers will be there

1205
01:03:48,750 --> 01:03:49,750
any minute to help us decorate.

1206
01:03:50,390 --> 01:03:51,550
Okay. Well, I'll give you a ride.

1207
01:03:51,950 --> 01:03:52,950
I have another surprise for you.

1208
01:03:53,370 --> 01:03:54,370
Great.

1209
01:04:00,850 --> 01:04:02,590
Okay, you don't need to gloat.

1210
01:04:03,050 --> 01:04:04,970
I'm not gloating. This is good.

1211
01:04:05,230 --> 01:04:06,770
This is good.

1212
01:04:07,810 --> 01:04:09,170
I need mistletoe.

1213
01:04:11,530 --> 01:04:12,530
Okay.

1214
01:04:14,110 --> 01:04:15,110
What's all this about?

1215
01:04:15,650 --> 01:04:16,650
It's just a surprise.

1216
01:04:17,850 --> 01:04:19,170
It said 14 feet, right?

1217
01:04:19,550 --> 01:04:20,620
What? How did you?

1218
01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:21,920
Where did you?

1219
01:04:22,100 --> 01:04:23,380
You're not the only one with a tree guy.

1220
01:04:24,820 --> 01:04:29,700
Okay, but you're sure it's 14 feet?

1221
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:31,840
Better be. Oh, gosh.

1222
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:33,480
I'm going to cry.

1223
01:04:38,500 --> 01:04:41,260
11, 12, 13, 14.

1224
01:04:41,940 --> 01:04:42,940
It's perfect.

1225
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:44,440
Perfect.

1226
01:04:44,580 --> 01:04:45,580
Oh, my goodness.

1227
01:04:45,720 --> 01:04:46,720
You guys killed it.

1228
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:51,780
Okay. Okay, they will help you put it
wherever you want. Uh, how about on the

1229
01:04:51,780 --> 01:04:53,600
sun porch, where Nan used to put it?

1230
01:04:54,340 --> 01:04:55,340
Hmm.

1231
01:04:55,680 --> 01:04:57,900
Um, if you could put it on the sun
porch, pretty please.

1232
01:04:58,380 --> 01:04:59,380
Thank you.

1233
01:04:59,960 --> 01:05:01,320
I can't believe you did this.

1234
01:05:01,580 --> 01:05:04,900
Oh, you know, always happy to help. Now
we just gotta decorate the thing.

1235
01:05:05,140 --> 01:05:08,580
Oh, okay, so I was thinking, Christmas
Carol is your favorite movie, right?

1236
01:05:08,940 --> 01:05:12,440
So I used that to finalize my design
last night, and I was thinking, that's

1237
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:16,000
the perfect blend of old and new. It
signifies change, but also... How some

1238
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:17,000
things stay the same.

1239
01:05:17,170 --> 01:05:21,630
Yeah. What the real question is, can we
pull it off?

1240
01:05:22,350 --> 01:05:25,730
Oh, I think we can, Brian St. Nicholas,
yes.

1241
01:05:26,710 --> 01:05:30,090
Hi, hi, everyone. Oh, thank you so much
for coming. We'll meet you right inside.

1242
01:05:30,350 --> 01:05:31,790
Thank you, thank you. I think we can do
this.

1243
01:05:32,190 --> 01:05:33,190
Thank you, guys.

1244
01:05:33,290 --> 01:05:35,030
Okay. Cool. Go decorate the town.

1245
01:05:35,270 --> 01:05:36,270
Happy. All right.

1246
01:05:47,630 --> 01:05:50,630
We got this. The mayor approved the plan
so we can move forward with the deal.

1247
01:05:51,250 --> 01:05:53,550
I'm closing on the land any day now.

1248
01:05:53,990 --> 01:05:55,170
Oh, yeah. It's going to be great.

1249
01:05:55,390 --> 01:05:56,450
Go Polar Bears!

1250
01:06:32,170 --> 01:06:33,210
Thank you so much for your help.

1251
01:06:33,730 --> 01:06:35,510
Can't wait for you all to celebrate with
us tomorrow.

1252
01:06:37,650 --> 01:06:39,370
I couldn't bribe you with dinner, could
I?

1253
01:06:39,910 --> 01:06:40,910
Yeah, dinner would be great.

1254
01:06:41,170 --> 01:06:43,050
All right. I'll find us some takeout
menus.

1255
01:06:44,390 --> 01:06:47,970
By the way, everything looks perfect,
but not surprised, though.

1256
01:06:48,370 --> 01:06:49,370
Thank you.

1257
01:06:50,790 --> 01:06:51,790
Okay.

1258
01:06:52,770 --> 01:06:53,770
Where are you going?

1259
01:06:54,010 --> 01:06:56,330
I'm just going to swing by St. Nicholas'
house on the way home.

1260
01:06:56,970 --> 01:06:59,130
Why? To hang decorations.

1261
01:07:00,150 --> 01:07:03,020
Olivia. Gray said that they haven't
kissed yet, and by my calculations,

1262
01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:06,280
they've been under the mistletoe three
times. Still no kiss. We're running out

1263
01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:09,820
of time. I think it's time to give
Operation Mistletoe a rest, my love.

1264
01:07:10,080 --> 01:07:13,160
Okay, I just want to try one more thing,
and then I will. I promise.

1265
01:07:13,720 --> 01:07:14,578
He's leaving.

1266
01:07:14,580 --> 01:07:17,020
No, not if I can convince him he has a
reason to stay.

1267
01:07:17,640 --> 01:07:18,640
Wish me luck.

1268
01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:20,520
Good luck.

1269
01:07:23,260 --> 01:07:24,260
Hello?

1270
01:07:24,380 --> 01:07:25,380
Hey.

1271
01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:27,680
Wow.

1272
01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:30,800
This place looks... Great.

1273
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:32,280
Thanks.

1274
01:07:33,100 --> 01:07:34,100
Really?

1275
01:07:35,680 --> 01:07:39,080
A little old school for my taste, but
still pretty nice.

1276
01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:41,360
What can I do for you, Quinn?

1277
01:07:41,760 --> 01:07:42,760
Is Ryan around?

1278
01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:46,180
I sent him a text about some papers I
need him to sign.

1279
01:07:46,580 --> 01:07:47,580
Oh, what kind of papers?

1280
01:08:01,299 --> 01:08:04,200
Between you and me, I think it's time
this place got a little bit of a

1281
01:08:04,200 --> 01:08:05,200
facelift, don't you?

1282
01:08:05,360 --> 01:08:07,260
I wasn't under the impression he was
selling.

1283
01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:08,520
Oh, no, he's definitely going to sell.

1284
01:08:08,860 --> 01:08:12,300
Everybody has a price, and I think I
might have found his.

1285
01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:17,240
Thank you for the ornaments on the lawn,
by the way.

1286
01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:19,240
Such a blast from the path.

1287
01:08:31,100 --> 01:08:32,100
Okay, I'm fine.

1288
01:08:32,399 --> 01:08:33,560
What are you doing here?

1289
01:08:33,960 --> 01:08:35,040
What is all this?

1290
01:08:36,700 --> 01:08:38,560
It's just mistletoe.

1291
01:08:39,660 --> 01:08:40,660
I can explain.

1292
01:08:41,319 --> 01:08:44,540
Wait, are you the one that's been
putting it all over the place? I was

1293
01:08:44,540 --> 01:08:45,540
just trying to help.

1294
01:08:46,180 --> 01:08:47,180
Help with what?

1295
01:08:47,760 --> 01:08:48,760
Oh, hey, Olivia.

1296
01:08:49,160 --> 01:08:51,899
Were you in on the lawn gag, too? The
what?

1297
01:08:52,500 --> 01:08:53,500
Oh, there he is.

1298
01:08:55,359 --> 01:08:58,520
What's going on? Can we talk for a
second? I want to run something by you

1299
01:08:58,520 --> 01:09:00,819
up at the sale. Oh, no, I haven't
decided. I'm going to...

1300
01:09:01,020 --> 01:09:05,939
What? Come on, man. This place has sat
vacant for years. Sammy already approved

1301
01:09:05,939 --> 01:09:06,698
the plans.

1302
01:09:06,700 --> 01:09:07,679
Wait.

1303
01:09:07,680 --> 01:09:10,819
Sam, your project with Ryan Powell?

1304
01:09:11,439 --> 01:09:13,800
You didn't think that was an important
detail to share, Quinn?

1305
01:09:14,140 --> 01:09:19,319
Picture it, okay? This place, completely
demolished. And in its place, a brand

1306
01:09:19,319 --> 01:09:22,819
new, state-of-the-art, world-class,
high-end condo complex.

1307
01:09:23,220 --> 01:09:26,460
I can't wait to see your bid to decorate
the place. I think it's going to be a

1308
01:09:26,460 --> 01:09:27,460
great collaboration.

1309
01:09:27,870 --> 01:09:31,069
And Sammy has already given us the green
light to start demo at the top of the

1310
01:09:31,069 --> 01:09:31,728
new year.

1311
01:09:31,729 --> 01:09:34,170
Bro, this place will no longer be your
burden.

1312
01:09:34,590 --> 01:09:36,450
Okay, I'm just gonna... What was that?

1313
01:09:36,810 --> 01:09:39,810
Oh, you know the mistletoe that keeps
popping up everywhere?

1314
01:09:40,350 --> 01:09:41,350
That was Olivia.

1315
01:09:41,450 --> 01:09:42,450
What mistletoe?

1316
01:09:43,149 --> 01:09:44,350
That mistletoe, Quinn.

1317
01:09:48,410 --> 01:09:52,550
Wait, are you two... Is that why you cut
things off with me?

1318
01:09:55,380 --> 01:09:57,040
Great, he's not sticking around.

1319
01:09:58,120 --> 01:10:00,240
He's about to run back to his life in
New York.

1320
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:03,360
He's too good for Ivy Glen, remember?

1321
01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:07,280
That's why he hasn't lived here in the
last 15 years.

1322
01:10:08,880 --> 01:10:15,000
So whatever little fantasy he's had you
wrapped up in the last couple days, it's

1323
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:16,000
not real.

1324
01:10:17,340 --> 01:10:20,480
I bet you anything he's already booked
his flight for first thing Christmas

1325
01:10:20,480 --> 01:10:22,440
morning. I mean...

1326
01:10:22,970 --> 01:10:25,270
The only reason he came back here was to
sell the place.

1327
01:10:26,590 --> 01:10:27,590
Is that true?

1328
01:10:28,810 --> 01:10:31,950
No. I don't know.

1329
01:10:34,730 --> 01:10:36,870
I just wanted to see if there was
anything left for me here.

1330
01:10:38,350 --> 01:10:39,350
Is there?

1331
01:10:43,190 --> 01:10:44,470
Okay. Great.

1332
01:10:46,210 --> 01:10:47,770
Let her go, man. Let her go. You've done
enough.

1333
01:10:48,010 --> 01:10:49,010
Let her sit down.

1334
01:10:49,310 --> 01:10:52,110
Have a cup of hot cocoa and discuss
these numbers. I think you're going to

1335
01:10:52,110 --> 01:10:53,110
be very happy.

1336
01:10:53,330 --> 01:10:56,170
My investors are presenting a very
generous offer.

1337
01:10:56,490 --> 01:10:58,330
All you have to do is sign the papers
and we're good to go.

1338
01:10:58,830 --> 01:11:01,750
Come on, man. This is the best thing for
everyone.

1339
01:11:04,990 --> 01:11:07,450
I should have told you about Operation
Mistletoe.

1340
01:11:08,210 --> 01:11:09,210
Yeah, you should have.

1341
01:11:10,330 --> 01:11:11,330
I'm sorry.

1342
01:11:11,490 --> 01:11:15,390
I was just trying to make this Christmas
special for you. And I was hoping if I

1343
01:11:15,390 --> 01:11:18,010
got you and Ryan together, that would be
enough to make him stay.

1344
01:11:19,410 --> 01:11:20,450
Guess I was wrong.

1345
01:11:21,210 --> 01:11:22,670
It's not your fault, okay?

1346
01:11:24,270 --> 01:11:27,470
I'm the one who got wrapped up in the
idea of what it would be like if Ryan

1347
01:11:27,470 --> 01:11:29,430
St. Nicholas actually stayed in Ivy Bun.

1348
01:11:31,190 --> 01:11:32,750
Both of us know that would never happen.

1349
01:11:33,330 --> 01:11:34,590
Operation Mistletoe or not.

1350
01:11:35,790 --> 01:11:37,710
I can't believe he's selling to Quinn.

1351
01:11:38,210 --> 01:11:39,210
I can.

1352
01:11:39,850 --> 01:11:40,850
You don't mean that.

1353
01:11:41,030 --> 01:11:42,310
No, I do. Quinn was right.

1354
01:11:42,910 --> 01:11:44,550
I got wrapped up in a fantasy.

1355
01:11:47,430 --> 01:11:51,470
Listen, you're a really good friend, but
lay off the mistletoe for me for the

1356
01:11:51,470 --> 01:11:52,470
foreseeable future.

1357
01:11:53,030 --> 01:11:54,170
I kind of need a break.

1358
01:11:54,590 --> 01:11:55,590
I can do that.

1359
01:11:56,170 --> 01:11:57,170
Okay.

1360
01:12:01,330 --> 01:12:03,190
How much mistletoe did you have, though?

1361
01:12:03,690 --> 01:12:04,690
So much.

1362
01:12:10,570 --> 01:12:11,570
It's not too bad.

1363
01:12:12,710 --> 01:12:13,710
Okay.

1364
01:12:16,389 --> 01:12:19,950
In full disclosure, there is some
hanging in your apartment, just to be

1365
01:12:19,950 --> 01:12:20,950
safe.

1366
01:12:21,150 --> 01:12:22,150
Great.

1367
01:12:23,530 --> 01:12:24,630
You going to be okay?

1368
01:12:25,530 --> 01:12:26,530
Yeah.

1369
01:12:26,910 --> 01:12:27,910
You'll be fine.

1370
01:12:29,830 --> 01:12:30,830
I think.

1371
01:12:48,550 --> 01:12:50,570
You can set up the catering in the
kitchen. Thank you.

1372
01:12:51,350 --> 01:12:53,890
There's a row of lights in the sitting
room that still need to be hung.

1373
01:12:54,490 --> 01:12:55,490
Thank you.

1374
01:12:57,130 --> 01:12:59,130
All right.

1375
01:13:03,030 --> 01:13:04,030
Oh, good morning.

1376
01:13:04,250 --> 01:13:05,250
Morning.

1377
01:13:05,370 --> 01:13:06,369
Olivia, wait.

1378
01:13:06,370 --> 01:13:09,250
Have you talked to Grace? Because she's
not answering her phone.

1379
01:13:10,970 --> 01:13:12,130
I think she needs a moment.

1380
01:13:13,730 --> 01:13:16,030
You know, I didn't mean to lead her on.
I just...

1381
01:13:18,120 --> 01:13:20,720
I didn't realize how much I enjoyed
being with her.

1382
01:13:21,140 --> 01:13:24,900
And I know, selfish, guilty.

1383
01:13:25,160 --> 01:13:26,160
Because you're leaving.

1384
01:13:27,220 --> 01:13:30,760
I feel like no matter what I do, it's
the wrong choice.

1385
01:13:34,240 --> 01:13:36,600
Okay, well, I'm going to start setting
up for tonight.

1386
01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:41,960
Sorry about the mistletoe. Well, I
should have realized it was you.

1387
01:14:06,350 --> 01:14:07,590
Right there is perfect. Thank you.

1388
01:14:07,810 --> 01:14:08,810
Thanks, guys.

1389
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:55,440
Wow. Looks great.

1390
01:14:55,680 --> 01:14:56,680
Thank you.

1391
01:14:57,580 --> 01:14:58,580
It's all great.

1392
01:14:58,800 --> 01:15:02,080
Well, we're almost done, so if you want
to head out, I can take care of the

1393
01:15:02,080 --> 01:15:03,420
rest. I'm almost finished.

1394
01:15:05,780 --> 01:15:06,920
You think she's going to show tonight?

1395
01:15:08,660 --> 01:15:10,400
It's not like Grace to bail on a
commitment.

1396
01:15:12,260 --> 01:15:13,260
I hope you're right.

1397
01:15:16,900 --> 01:15:17,900
You know...

1398
01:15:17,950 --> 01:15:21,810
If you decided to sell, I don't think
anyone would blame you. But just for the

1399
01:15:21,810 --> 01:15:24,230
record, I think we all really enjoyed
having you back.

1400
01:15:55,490 --> 01:15:56,490
Who's there?

1401
01:15:57,350 --> 01:16:01,770
What were you planning on doing with
that?

1402
01:16:02,130 --> 01:16:07,850
Uh, nothing. I don't know. I just
thought it would look better there.

1403
01:16:08,990 --> 01:16:13,410
Okay. Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
I was just making a few last weeks. I

1404
01:16:13,410 --> 01:16:14,890
wanted to fit one more ornament on the
tree.

1405
01:16:16,070 --> 01:16:19,530
Doesn't really go with the design
aesthetic, but okay. Well, it happens to

1406
01:16:19,530 --> 01:16:22,430
be a very sentimental ornament, and
that's the key to any good design.

1407
01:16:25,130 --> 01:16:26,130
Go ahead.

1408
01:16:29,110 --> 01:16:30,790
These last few days have been amazing.

1409
01:16:31,830 --> 01:16:35,130
It's made me realize how much of myself
I've shut off since I've left this

1410
01:16:35,130 --> 01:16:36,130
place.

1411
01:16:36,730 --> 01:16:40,610
Spending these days with you has kind of
been like my ghost of Christmas past.

1412
01:16:42,110 --> 01:16:44,870
It's made me realize what I want in my
life, my future.

1413
01:16:47,010 --> 01:16:48,010
Which is?

1414
01:16:48,970 --> 01:16:50,010
A life of balance.

1415
01:16:51,820 --> 01:16:58,680
I like spending time with people I love
in a place that feels like

1416
01:16:58,680 --> 01:16:59,680
home.

1417
01:17:02,780 --> 01:17:07,640
Look, Grace, I... I gotta say, I knew
you would pull it off.

1418
01:17:08,660 --> 01:17:09,579
Pull off what?

1419
01:17:09,580 --> 01:17:13,080
Oh, the event hasn't even started yet,
and there's a lineup outside of people

1420
01:17:13,080 --> 01:17:14,080
ready to donate.

1421
01:17:14,560 --> 01:17:18,960
You know, reviving the Ribbons and Balls
fundraiser was a very good plan, if I do

1422
01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:19,960
say so myself.

1423
01:17:20,850 --> 01:17:23,770
Oh, and nice time with the tree in the
town square.

1424
01:17:24,450 --> 01:17:25,450
Perfect.

1425
01:17:25,890 --> 01:17:29,430
I'm sorry, I'm just so thrilled that
everything is working out perfectly.

1426
01:17:29,870 --> 01:17:32,430
So you're not mad about losing the condo
complex?

1427
01:17:33,310 --> 01:17:34,310
What?

1428
01:17:35,090 --> 01:17:38,250
Oh, uh, I'm not selling St. Nicholas
House.

1429
01:17:38,610 --> 01:17:39,610
You're not?

1430
01:17:39,810 --> 01:17:40,810
No, you were right.

1431
01:17:41,050 --> 01:17:42,210
It's more than an asset.

1432
01:17:42,910 --> 01:17:43,910
It's my legacy.

1433
01:17:44,770 --> 01:17:49,110
I mean, luxury condo complexes are great
to bring in new residents.

1434
01:17:49,520 --> 01:17:54,020
But I feel like it's more important to
focus on building up the community we

1435
01:17:54,020 --> 01:17:55,020
already have.

1436
01:17:55,140 --> 01:17:56,140
I couldn't agree more.

1437
01:17:56,460 --> 01:17:59,420
And if things go smoothly today, I want
to sit down and talk with you about

1438
01:17:59,420 --> 01:18:02,660
doing an official partnership with Ivy
Glen and the St. Nicholas House.

1439
01:18:03,200 --> 01:18:06,240
Oh, now that is something I could really
get behind.

1440
01:18:08,600 --> 01:18:09,600
Oh!

1441
01:18:10,140 --> 01:18:14,840
Oh, Olivia, Grace, I spoke to the town
council, and they all agree.

1442
01:18:15,260 --> 01:18:17,580
The example you're setting here with the
fundraiser?

1443
01:18:18,110 --> 01:18:19,230
Has everyone blown away?

1444
01:18:19,570 --> 01:18:24,510
So, I look forward to hiring Teen and
Rankin for all of the city's upcoming

1445
01:18:24,510 --> 01:18:27,250
decoration needs. Thank you so much.

1446
01:18:28,490 --> 01:18:32,270
Oh, honey, can we check if the greeters
are in place? Thank you so much.

1447
01:18:32,550 --> 01:18:37,070
Because I think it is 5 o'clock. Should
we let everyone in? Yeah, we got to get

1448
01:18:37,070 --> 01:18:38,049
this show on the road.

1449
01:18:38,050 --> 01:18:39,050
Let's do it.

1450
01:19:00,260 --> 01:19:03,000
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for
coming.

1451
01:19:03,460 --> 01:19:07,020
We wouldn't be here if it weren't for
the generosity of Ryan St. Nicholas.

1452
01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:11,360
So please, Ryan, would you do us the
honor? Of course. And first off, big

1453
01:19:11,360 --> 01:19:14,400
thank you to Mayor Hoffman for helping
convince me to do this.

1454
01:19:14,760 --> 01:19:16,620
And all of you for making this possible.

1455
01:19:16,940 --> 01:19:20,880
As you know, this was my grandmother's
house.

1456
01:19:21,860 --> 01:19:26,800
And in her honor, I invite all of you in
to the ribbons and bows Christmas

1457
01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:27,800
fundraiser.

1458
01:19:30,690 --> 01:19:34,110
And none of this would have been
possible if it wasn't for the beautiful

1459
01:19:34,110 --> 01:19:36,690
artistry of Grace Rankin.

1460
01:19:40,050 --> 01:19:42,390
Oh, and the help of my friends, Jack and
Olivia.

1461
01:19:43,010 --> 01:19:44,010
Give them a hand.

1462
01:19:46,570 --> 01:19:48,730
All right, Merry Christmas. Come on in.

1463
01:20:03,370 --> 01:20:04,390
And sharing just

1464
01:20:36,940 --> 01:20:38,120
I'd say that was a success.

1465
01:20:38,800 --> 01:20:43,820
Yeah, I mean, we raised enough to cover
the food bank, the kids' after-school

1466
01:20:43,820 --> 01:20:46,280
arts program, and the community center
seniors' event.

1467
01:20:46,580 --> 01:20:47,580
That's amazing.

1468
01:20:47,860 --> 01:20:49,200
And a huge thanks to you.

1469
01:20:49,480 --> 01:20:51,680
Well, thank you for being my ghost of
Christmas everything.

1470
01:20:52,060 --> 01:20:54,280
Oh, that's a title I will gladly accept.

1471
01:20:54,540 --> 01:20:55,840
Okay, I'm going to go tell Sammy.

1472
01:20:56,380 --> 01:20:57,380
Mayor Hoffman.

1473
01:20:57,540 --> 01:20:59,020
Just call me Sammy. Oh.

1474
01:21:00,260 --> 01:21:03,100
It's weird having my friends call me
Mayor Hoffman.

1475
01:21:03,640 --> 01:21:07,360
Thank you so much, because honestly, I
don't know if I was going to be able to

1476
01:21:07,360 --> 01:21:08,360
stick to that.

1477
01:21:09,540 --> 01:21:11,340
Sammy, will you please meet me outside?

1478
01:21:11,820 --> 01:21:15,180
I just want to take some formal pictures
while the photographer is still here.

1479
01:21:15,300 --> 01:21:16,300
Absolutely.

1480
01:21:18,780 --> 01:21:22,200
I know that we agreed I'd lay off the
mistletoe.

1481
01:21:22,760 --> 01:21:24,100
That doesn't mean you have to.

1482
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:26,000
Merry Christmas.

1483
01:21:26,120 --> 01:21:27,120
Merry Christmas.

1484
01:21:32,880 --> 01:21:34,520
What was it you were going to say to me
earlier?

1485
01:21:37,020 --> 01:21:39,940
Probably should have told you this back
in high school, but... What's that?

1486
01:21:41,100 --> 01:21:42,100
I'm in love with you.

1487
01:21:44,220 --> 01:21:45,220
I always have been.

1488
01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:48,000
And you know what?

1489
01:21:48,820 --> 01:21:50,480
I think I might need to go out for a
while.

1490
01:21:52,040 --> 01:21:55,800
Keep my feet on the ground and who
knows, maybe wear a t-shirt and jeans a

1491
01:21:55,800 --> 01:21:56,800
couple of days a week.

1492
01:21:57,400 --> 01:21:58,400
How's that sound?

1493
01:21:58,540 --> 01:22:00,040
Well, what about your clients in New
York?

1494
01:22:00,320 --> 01:22:01,780
Well, I can fly back to New York.

1495
01:22:02,250 --> 01:22:04,510
Take meetings and do the rest from here.

1496
01:22:05,170 --> 01:22:06,170
Okay. Yeah.

1497
01:22:06,330 --> 01:22:07,950
Then I just have one last question for
you.

1498
01:22:08,530 --> 01:22:09,730
What? Can you do me a favor?

1499
01:22:09,990 --> 01:22:11,630
Can you hold this up for me? I'm kind of
short.

1500
01:22:13,850 --> 01:22:14,850
I got you.

1501
01:22:15,290 --> 01:22:16,209
Like that?

1502
01:22:16,210 --> 01:22:19,950
Yeah. You know, apparently it's bad luck
if you don't kiss someone you love under

1503
01:22:19,950 --> 01:22:22,230
mistletoe. Oh, really?

1504
01:22:22,670 --> 01:22:23,469
Mm-hmm.

1505
01:22:23,470 --> 01:22:26,950
Guess we're going to have to reinstate
Operation Mistletoe because we won't

1506
01:22:26,950 --> 01:22:28,430
want any bad luck around here, will we?

1507
01:22:29,010 --> 01:22:30,630
I love you, Ryan St. Nicholas.

1508
01:22:42,220 --> 01:22:43,440
Hi, I'm just warming up.

1509
01:22:43,920 --> 01:22:44,920
What?

1510
01:22:45,140 --> 01:22:46,580
Operation New Year's engagement.

1511
01:22:46,840 --> 01:22:47,840
Yeah.

1512
01:22:50,140 --> 01:22:51,800
Seriously? Oh, yeah.

1513
01:22:52,700 --> 01:22:54,020
No. Yes.

1514
01:22:55,100 --> 01:22:56,140
I'm not doing that.

1515
01:23:10,160 --> 01:23:13,460
For generations, their family wine has
blessed every wedding.

1516
01:23:13,680 --> 01:23:14,680
It's empty.

1517
01:23:14,820 --> 01:23:15,820
