Whoa! Awesome!

I know, right?

Where did you get that?

- I made it.
- What?

At Trent Brothers Toys!

All of
our Fantastic Flyer toys

will be soaring into stores
next year!

Oh! Sounds like
a good reason

to stay on Santa's
Nice List, right?

- Exactly.
- Definitely.

- Bye!
- Bye.

All right,
Captain Christmas,

back to work.

George, this is work.

We've got a max-range problem.
Watch.

See what I mean?

And if kids are going
to be using this,

I got to make sure the landing
recovery goes smoothly.

I've got to make sure
this deal goes smoothly.

I've got a conference call
with Hennessey in 15.

Wait... that's today?

Little brother, this year,

I'm giving you a day planner
for Christmas.

That's what you gave me
last year.

Yeah, but this year,
you're going to use it.

Good luck with that.

Come on.

I can't thank you
enough, Lydia.

I don't know what I would
have done without you.

I'm glad
I could help.

Help?
You're amazing.

Ever since
I started this new job,

I feel like
I've been running in circles,

but one week with you

showing me
how to organize everything,

and I feel

like I can finally catch
my breath again.

Well, it's all
about strategizing,

getting your
ducks in a row,

and that's what
I help people do.

And just in time
for Christmas, too!

Well, hopefully, you
can enjoy your Christmas

a little bit better now.

Oh, don't worry, I will,
thanks to you.

Merry Christmas, Kay.

Merry Christmas!

♪ We wish you
a merry Christmas ♪

♪ We wish you
a merry Christmas ♪

♪ And a Happy New Year ♪

♪ We wish you
a merry Christmas... ♪

Thanks for waiting, gentlemen.

Here's Mr. Hennessey.

Good morning,
George, Robert.

How're you
fellas doing?

Just fine, Mr. Hennessey.

How's the holiday
season treating you

and our favorite
superstore?

Well, as I always say,
you take care of business,

and business
will take care of you,

and Hennessey's off
to a great start this Christmas.

You can look forward

to an even better
holiday next year,

when you're stocking
Trent Brothers Toys

in all of your stores.

Mm-hmm,
we're very excited

to share
our new line with you

when you come to visit
in February.

Well, that's why
I'm calling, fellas.

I've decided to get a jump
on choosing my new vendors

for next year.

When you say "jump,"
you mean...

I'll be flying out
to see you on the 22n.

Wait, uh...
December 22nd?

My wife will join us
for supper,

and then we're off

to see the grandkids
for Christmas Eve.

Oh, I hope the short notice
isn't going to be a problem.

Problem?

No... what?

Absolutely not.

December 22 is...
is perfect.

Yeah, yeah, George and I
were just saying,

"It's too bad

Mr. Hennessey can't visit
during the holidays."

That way, you can come see
the new line of toys,

and you and your wife can join
us for Christmas dinner.

Right.

I mean,
we are a family business.

What could be better

than a traditional family
Christmas dinner?

And you can meet
my kids, too.

Oh, they're great kids.

You're going
to love them,

and Robert's house
will be perfect

for Christmas dinner.

Well, you know,

that sounds like
a fine idea, fellas.

I mean, we're all about family
here at Hennessey's.

Sheila and I, well,
we'll be there with bells on!

- Great!
- Yay.

I'll see you fellas
in two weeks.

Can't wait!

My house?

What was I
supposed to say?

My place is still
a construction site.

It's never going
to be ready

in time for Christmas.

But we can take
the Hennesseys

to a nice restaurant.

Are you kidding?
You heard the man.

Hennessey's
is all about family.

I heard.

Bobby, I'm sorry.

I just wasn't thinking.

It's all right.
I just...

Listen...

maybe a restaurant's
not a bad idea...

No, George, look,
you're right.

Hennessey is expecting
a family dinner,

and that's
what we have to give him.

Yeah,
but I can tell him something.

Look, we have
a real opportunity here

to impress Hennessey

and get our toys
into over 300 of his stores.

Let's make
the most of it.

It would be nice not to have
to skate by for a change.

Skating.

Oh, hockey...
I... um...

I've got to get Thomas
to practice.

Everything is going
to be fine.

I'm not going anywhere
without these.

It's all good.

Don't worry
about a thing.

Why would I worry?

And that...

is that!

Lydia,
I love what you've done!

This is the best
Christmas present ever.

I'm happy to do it for you.

I'm so lucky
that my best friend

is the most brilliant
professional organizer

on the planet!

Oh, maybe not on the planet.

I still don't
know how you do it.

When it comes to organizing,
every space is different.

You just have to learn
to read the signs.

Take you and Eric,
for example.

In a marriage,
you have to make choices,

and I am here

to help you get rid
of the things you don't need,

and make room for
the things you want,

so there's a place
for things you love,

and space for the things
that he loves,

and a special place

for the things
that you love together.

This app of yours
is amazing.

So glad you're
using it,

and don't just
use the calendar.

You should use
the reminders, too.

Well, right now
it's reminding me

that I need to get to the store
to help Eric open.

The Christmas shopping rush
is in full swing.

Why don't you
come with me?

You can listen to me

brag to Eric
about how incredible you are.

Well, maybe just for a minute.

Okay, here we go.
I'm sorry I was late, guys.

Work always gets a little...

Crazy this time of year?

Yeah, exactly.

I mean, when you are
in the toy business...

Christmas
is your busiest time.

I've mentioned this before?

Once or twice.

Did you remember
to pick up the stuff

to make Christmas cookies
for my class party?

Cookies.
Right.

You said we were
going to bake them

just like Mom used to.

Absolutely.
Absolutely.

We will, buddy.

All right.
We all set?

All right,
go have fun!

So, how was school today?

Okay.

You know,

everyone's all excited
about Christmas.

Well, sure.
Haven't you heard?

♪ It's the most wonderful time
of the year ♪

Got to get
some new material, Dad.

Bah!

I'll work on it.

It is going to be so great,

hanging out with you guys
during the break...

making cookies,
decorating the tree...

Oh, not to mention
I get to see a certain someone

in the Christmas
Festival play.

I told you.

Ms. Cafferty cast me
as Santa's Head Elf.

Mm-hmm,
and it's great.

It's a big part...
a lot of lines.

I...

I was thinking I would just let
someone else do it.

Well, I...

I kind of thought
you liked being in the play.

It's no big deal.

No big deal?
Well, it is to me.

Really?

Are you kidding?

I can't wait
to see you up there,

bossing all those other elves
around.

It's not that kind
of Head Elf, Dad.

Well, all right.

Well, you know,

maybe I come and watch
rehearsal on Monday,

and then after, I can help you
with your lines.

Aren't you too busy, Dad?

Honey, listen.

I am never too busy
for you or your brother, okay?

Oh! I need a hat
for my costume.

All right, well,
then tomorrow, we'll go out

and we'll find a hat
that's just right

for Santa's
Not-Too-Bossy Head Elf.

Sounds great.

All right.

I have a great idea

to help you and Eric stay
organized after the holidays...

a set of stacking bins,

labeled for all your
Christmas decorations.

I love this time of year.

Yeah, me too.

You know, tomorrow, I have
to pick up some things

for another client.

I could get you
those bins

while I'm there.

Or you could stop organizing
for a second,

and take in this beautiful
Christmas cheer.

Okay, I just have to
put in one more thing...

Oh!

Honey,
you are a genius,

but even Einstein
took time off now and then.

What?
I take time off.

Seriously, though...

you know that my whole life
is in that phone, right?

Okay, that right there,
that can't be good.

Dividing your whole life

into a bunch
of neat little squares?

For your information,
they aren't squares.

Yeah, they're "modules."
That sounds much better.

Uh, hey, who's Tony?

Uh, nobody.
He's just...

a client.

Dinner and a movie?

Since when do you go out
with clients?

Okay, can I have
my phone back, please?

You went on a date.

Oh, come on, don't
say it like that.

Come on! Tell!

The movie was good.

Let me guess...

he doesn't know that Sirius
is the name of a star,

and his idea of organizing
is wearing socks that match?

Yeah, not to mention
he called me "Linda" all night,

even after I reminded
him my name is "Lydia,"

He said I looked
like a Linda.

Sorry.

No, it's okay.

Some things in life,
you just can't organize,

and that includes
a promising relationship.

Well, that doesn't mean
you stop looking.

No, I'm pretty sure
that's exactly what that means.

Vroom, vroom...

Hats, hats, hats, hats...

There they are!

Now, the one question is,

what kind of hat
would Santa's Head Elf wear?

Does it jingle,

so everyone knows
when she's arrived on the stage?

No? Okay.

Or does it light up
the room,

like the beautiful girl
who's wearing it?

Dad...

She needs an elf hat, Dad!

Okay, I want the truth.

Does this make my head
look big?

A little bit.

Dad, don't forget,

we still have to get the stuff
to make cookies.

Dad?

Cookies, absolutely.

Next on our list!

Man, we are really busy.

I mean, not only do we have
Thomas's Christmas party,

we have your play,

and we have
a very important guest

coming for Christmas dinner!

Who?

None other than the big boss
himself of Hennessey's...

this store!

And we are going to cook him
an awesome Christmas feast.

At our house?

Yeah, why not?

I mean, sure,
we have too much to plan

and not enough time,

and it's going to be
totally crazy,

but it's going
to be fun...

which is why I need
to talk to one of the engineers

for just a second,

so you guys keep
looking for hats...

just give me a second.

Okay.

Garrett, hey.
What's going on?

A range extender
would definitely give the sleigh

more height.

Yeah, but what about
the extra weight?

Um, let me, uh,
let me work that out here.

Oh, um...

Sorry.

He gets a little distracted
when it comes to his toys.

I hope he's been
a good boy this year.

He tries.

Okay, okay...

that is 768 grams,

which still works with
our thrust-to-weight vectors.

Great.

Yeah, I'll be there
in a few hours.

Okay. Too much to do.

I'm sorry.
Were you going to buy that?

No, no, it's no problem,

but I do tend
to pay a little more attention

when I hear words like
"Too much to do".

See, the secret to
every busy life

is organization...

Uh-huh?

And the best way
to get organized

is to get some help.

And you are
a professional organizer.

Lydia Evans. Hi.

Hi. They...

they really have
professional organizers?

Sure, just someone who helps
make someone else's life

a little easier.

Oh. Well...

I appreciate it,
but, um...

I think I have
everything under control.

You do?

We need to go get
the stuff for Thomas's cookies.

Happy holidays!

You too.

Bye!

Hey, you found a hat!

Yeah!
You like it?

Yes! All right, come on.
Hop on, let's go!

When you're arranging a room,

remember
that the Poinsettia plant

you get for Christmas...

prefers direct sunlight.

Don't let the leaves
touch the glass.

Thatta boy!
Hey, Thomas!

Good job!

Ah-hah!
Take that!

What is he going to do now,
ladies and gentlemen?

Hey, George!
What's up?

Yeah.

Uh-huh, yeah, I just...
just a second.

Yeah, that's all I got.

Well, let's just
make sure it works,

before we worry about
the cost, George.

Yep. Okay.

Yeah, I'll talk
to you tomorrow.

Dad, it's your move.

Okay.

Hey!

Wait, wait a minute!
How did this happen?

Hey, you step away
for one second...

All right, I'm going
to get you now.

Love you, Mom.

Bye, honey.
Have a good day!

Okay, so you're going home
with your buddy, Doug,

after school.

Yep.
'Bye, Dad!

Bye, love you.
Have a good day...

and I will see you
after school for rehearsal.

Okay! Bye!

Oh, Dad?

Thanks.

You're going to be great.

It's a great idea, George.

If we add these
range extenders,

the price goes up
$20 a unit.

Okay, trust me,

when these hit the shelves,

we'll more than make up for it
in sales.

If we get them
into Hennessey's stores.

Speaking of which...

while you're working out
the menu,

I found out Hennessey's
wife is a vegetarian.

What?

She doesn't mind

the traditional
Christmas dinner...

just make sure
she doesn't go home hungry.

Ugh, great.

Thanks.

Glazed parsnip...

chestnut and feta loaf...

beetroot and shallot tarte,
hmm...

Ready for a test drive?

You kidding?
Absolutely.

Garrett,
you did it, man!

Every kid in the
country's going to want

a Santa Soaring Sleigh
under the tree!

Hey, you're the genius.

I'm just one of Santa's elves.

Elves.

Oh, no.

- No, no, no, no, no, no...
- Hey!

I gotta go.

No, no!

Excuse me.

Am', I...

I am so sorry, honey.

It's okay.

No, no, it's not okay.

I promised you I'd be
here, and I just...

I got...

I got busy again.

I told you, Dad.

It's no big deal.

Hey, kiddo.

You ready to run lines?

It's okay, Dad.

Hey, buddy.

Whatcha drawing?

Oh...

Looks just like Mom.

Hey...

don't you worry.

We're going to make
those cookies for your class.

Amelia says you're too busy.

No.
We're going to make 'em.

Just like Mom used to.

Lydia Evans.

Uh, hi, yeah.
This is Robert Trent calling.

Uh, we, uh, we met yesterday
at Hennessey's?

Oh, right!

Well,
we actually didn't "meet."

I was with my kids,

and I was the guy

who commandeered
your white board.

Mm-hmm.

"Too much to do,
and not enough time?"

Yeah, that's me.

Well, I hope you're not calling
to get your equation back,

because I erased it.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, no, no, I, um...

well, actually,

I was looking
at your website,

and...

well, let's just say
that, um...

well, I might have been
a bit optimistic

about having everything
under control, so...

Ah, how optimistic?

Extremely?

Hmm, and with the holidays,

you've got a lot more
on your plate right now.

It's more like a platter,

but yeah, that's...

Anyway, I was thinking

that maybe you might have
some time to help me,

you know...

get... organized?

Uh, yeah, I've got some time.

How about, um, tomorrow morning?
Say, 9,30?

That would be great.

Uh, good.
Just text me your address.

Absolutely,

and, uh...

thank you, Lydia.

This is, um...

Thank you.

See you tomorrow.

Yeah, yeah,
I'll see you tomorrow.

Thank you.

Lydia, I am so sorry.

I wanted
to get back here and clean up

before you got here,

but I couldn't find
Thomas's gloves,

Am' needed help
with her lines,

and I had to drop them
both off at school,

and my brother, he thinks

the per-unit cost
on the range extender...

Robert.
Take a deep breath.

Would you like to come in?

Sure.

Okay.

Oh, key's
in the car.

Like I said, it's just
been a crazy morning.

It's okay, Robert.
I'm here to help.

So, uh...

how bad is it?

No, you're asking
the wrong question.

See, you should be asking,
where do we start?

Okay...
where do we start?

Well, first, tell me
about your goals.

My goals... um...

Well, I'm a single dad,

and I've just been
so busy at work,

that I've really dropped
the ball with my kids,

and lately,
it just keeps getting worse.

Well, it's a huge step
in realizing that.

So, less work, more
time with your kids

is a great goal.

I can help you with that.

Anything else?

Well, I have
an important potential client

coming to dinner
on December 23rd.

That's, uh, 12 days,

and, uh...

so do you always write
everything down?

Lesson number one
in organizing...

write it down.

So should I write that down?

Can't hurt.

So how long have
you been doing this?

Uh, about four years.

What, were you,
like, tired

of all your
disorganized friends

being late all the time?

Actually, I've always been
a very meticulous person,

even when I was
a little girl.

Right. Uh, well, so,

this, this client is
visiting the office,

and then he's coming here

for a very special
holiday dinner,

which is why it's important
that it goes really well.

What do you do?

Oh, I, um...
I'm a toymaker.

I make toys.

Really? Huh!

Look, uh...

Rudolf, say hello
to the nice lady.

Hello to the nice lady!

Wow!

That is really cool.

Thanks.

Yeah, my brother and I,
we own a small toy company.

Trent Brothers Toys!

Oh, I've seen that shop
downtown.

Yeah, yeah, that's us.

We're trying to get our toys
into Hennessey's.

That's the client
who's coming to dinner.

Which is why this
is so important.

Sounds like you
called me just in time.

Now, onto the first order
of business...

"The secret
to every busy life

is organization."

See? I was listening.

Listening is one thing.

Figuring out how to do it
is another.

So dinner is on the 23rd,

and that's 12 days from now.
It's very manageable.

I'm glad you think so.

Well, it's manageable
with my "Three-C System."

Contain. Concentrate. Control.

Control. Now, I like
the sound of that one.

So when can you start?

Well, it's "we," actually,

'cause it's your life
we're organizing.

But I'm the one
who made the mess.

Well, you're about to learn
how to unmake it.

All right. Boom.

Trash...

Recycle...

Give away.

Any questions?
'Kay.

We're going to start
in here.

So... let's see.

Family game drawer.

Oh, great.
Well, every family has one.

I'm an awesome checkers player,
by the way,

in case you were wondering.

And a junk drawer.

Also very normal.

Every house has one.

'Kay...

Uh...

that's the drawer
for the junk

that doesn't fit
in the junk drawer.

Mm-hmm, and...

that...

oh...

We never open that drawer.

Right.

Okay. So...

I'll start in here,

and why don't you start
out here?

You, um, you know, you're
having a holiday dinner.

We should focus on
your Christmas cheer,

and that starts
with the tree.

We kind of have our own system
for decorating the tree.

It's a lot of fun,
and the kids love it.

And I want to hear
all about that.

Once you try my way,
I know you'll be very happy...

I should... yeah.

Sure.

Ugh...

Are you writing
that down, too?

Just a quick note.

Problem?

I forgot about a meeting,

and I'm never going to make it
downtown in time.

So why don't you Skype in
from here?

Of course, yeah.
I can do that.

Yeah, that'll work.

Okay, well, go ahead.

I'll press on in here.

Okay, great...

but you know what?

Do...
do you see what I mean?

I mean, even when I try
to get organized,

I just mess things up.

Life is messy, Robert,

especially
one as busy as yours,

but don't worry.

We're going to do this
one step at a time.

Thanks.

Uh, yep.
Going to...

You know, with this,

it's like
I'm practically there,

just a bit bigger
and more ominous.

Okay, okay, fine,

but no skipping out
during the boring parts

like last time.

Who, me?

It's a good thing
you're my brother.

I'm going to turn it over
to Garrett now.

- Hey, Garrett.
- Hey.

Sorry.

Took a little longer
than I expected,

but it was productive
and...

Good.

What did you do?

Oh, um,
it's my tried-and-true system.

It's called
"Cluster, not Clutter,"

and, you know,

I just wanted
to give it

a little more
of a Christmas theme.

What do you think?

You should have asked me first.

Oh... well, I...

I don't...

Yeah, they just

haven't been moved
in a long time.

Hey, Dad's home!

Hey, guys.

Hi, how was
school, huh?

Whoa,
what happened in here?

This is weird!

Amelia, Thomas...
you remember Lydia.

We met her
at Hennessey's.

Oh, yeah, you're
the professional organizer.

That's me. Hi.

Now,
Lydia's helping me organize

and get ready
for our big holiday dinner.

Look it!

Yeah, I know,
it's, uh...

it's a little different,

but we can put it back
the way it was.

No, no, I like it.

It's sort of like
a snow globe Christmas town.

Well, we made
some good progress today,

so same time tomorrow?

Sure.

'Kay.
Nice to see you guys again.

- Bye!
- Bye.

See you tomorrow.

Bye.

You guys hungry?
Want a little snack?

- Come on.
- Yeah!

Don't you love the way

the snow makes everything
feel so peaceful?

Thought we'd try something
a little different today.

Okay.

I think we got
a little off-track yesterday,

and sometimes,
it's good to step back,

get a little perspective.

"Perspective"?

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

It's going to be good.
Trust me.

So, yesterday,

I told you about
my Three-C System.

Yeah.

Contain. Concentrate. Control.

Right, and we
did pretty good

with contain
and control.

Now today,

we're going to work
on your concentration.

Believe me, I mean,

I spend almost every minute
of every day

concentrating.

You still feel
overwhelmed?

To say the least.

That's because gaining control

means you have to concentrate
on one thing at a time.

Concentrating on
one thing at a time

just leads to everything else
getting messier.

Not necessarily.

I want you to try something.

'Kay?

Now, I want you to look
at that snowman's nose

for one minute.

What?

Don't take your eyes
off that carrot

for 60 seconds,
no matter what.

Okay, you're serious.

Put yourself in
your Focus Box.

Do you have a cute name
for everything?

I like to think

it helps make organizing
a little more fun.

Okay.

I'm in the Focus Box.

If you say
you're in your Focus Box,

then you're not actually
in your Focus Box.

Did anyone ever tell you
you have way too many rules?

Every day.
Now... focus.

All right.

Okay.
You ready?

All right.

Go.

Oh, four seconds.

That Focus Box is a lot
trickier than it sounds.

Maybe the phone
shouldn't count.

The phone counts.

The cookies count.

The festival play counts.

The Christmas dinner
counts.

Isn't that the problem,
right?

Everything counts.

The snow globes... count.

Robert, it's all right.

No, no...

I'm really sorry,
the way I acted.

Kind of threw me, is all.

The snow globes
belonged to Molly, my wife,

and...

she always arranged them
in the order that she got them.

It was, you know,
it was like a running joke,

since we got married.

Except, uh...

that was the way she left them
before she passed away.

I'm sorry.

How could you know?

All right,
so look...

tell me what it is
that stresses you out the most

about this Christmas dinner.

Oh, well...

other than the fact

that mac and cheese
is a delicacy in our house?

Oh, see,
that's the next step...

finding the right recipe.

Come on.
I'll show you.

You know, I could just pull
a couple of recipes

off the Internet.

Where is the
tradition in that?

What do you mean?

A cookbook, Robert,

one you can keep
for years,

and then everyone looks
forward to the same recipes

every holiday...

not to mention
the memories

that come from every
stained and torn page.

Before you know it,

you will be
teaching your kids

how to make "Dad's Special
Christmas Stuffing."

Huh!

Hadn't really thought of it
that way.

Yeah, there's a lot more
to organizing your life

than just decorating
a house.

Whoa!
Hey, check it out.

Robert.
Focus Box.

When I was a kid,
I had one just like this.

This is the reason
I started making toys.

An astronomy book?

Yeah, yeah...

When I was Thomas's age,

my dad, he gave me a telescope
for Christmas,

and one night,

we got all bundled up,
and we went outside

to look at the Winter Circle.

- The what?
- The Winter Circle.

It's also called
the Winter Hexagon.

It's an asterism.

A lot of people confuse it
with a constellation,

but it's not.

It's a smaller cluster of stars.

Oh, I never knew that.

Yeah.
Anyway, um...

that night, I saw this star
in the Winter Circle

that was so bright,

and my dad told me
it's called Sirius.

The Dog Star.

Yes, you know it!

The Dog Star!

It's the brightest star
in the night sky.

Right, um...

what does this have to do
with toymaking?

Oh!

Right, well,
the Dog Star is, like...

51.6 trillion miles away
from Earth,

and I was seven years old,

so naturally,
I had to go there.

So I figured the only way
I could do that

is if I built
my own rocket ship,

so I started making models

so that eventually,
I could make a real one...

and in the meantime,
my brother, George,

who's, like,
the ultimate salesman,

he starts talking them up
to all our friends,

and then the next thing
you know,

every kid on the block has
a Trent Brothers rocket ship...

and here I am.

And here you are.

Thomas, he's going
to like this for Christmas.

Hey, let's, uh...

let's go find that vegetarian
Christmas cookbook.

The brightest star.

Oh, hey!

Here you go.

Thank you.

So, how's it going
with the new client?

Oh, progressing along.

Progress, like he's listening
and getting it,

or "I can't wait for this
to be over" progress?

Well, you know,

he's a single dad
with two kids he adores,

and he owns
his own business,

and he's got a big
Christmas dinner coming up

for a client...

but I think he would just rather
go to his son's hockey practice

and his daughter's play,

let the rest of the
world fend for itself.

I just think he's feeling
really overwhelmed.

Well, he's lucky
you came along.

Did you know

that the Winter Circle,
where Sirius is located,

is actually an asterism,
and not a constellation.

Where did that come from?

Robert told me.

Oh...

He knows where Sirius is.

That sounds promising.

He's a client, Pam.

And yet here you are,

in your greenhouse,
staring at the stars.

I've got to go.

Bobby?
Didn't you hear me knocking?

Shh...
I'm in my Focus Box.

In your what?

My Focus Box.

My professional organizer
has a "Three-C System,"

and one of the Cs
is Concentrate.

Okay is there seriously
a such a thing

as a professional organizer?

Uh-huh, and her name is Lydia.

Her name is Lydia?

So how long has Lydia been

professionally organizing
your life?

Since you offered my house
to Hennessey

for Christmas dinner.

All right.

So, is she helping?

Yesterday,
we bought a cookbook.

And buying a cookbook
makes you smile like that?

Smile like what?

I'm just saying
that she's helpful, and...

she's coming over later

to help me
straighten up the kitchen.

Any chance she could help you
straighten up your office?

Hennessey can't see it
like this.

Okay, would you just relax?

Everything's going to be fine.

It's the school.

Hello?

Yes, this is
Mr. Trent.

Oh...

Okay, no,
thanks for letting me know.

I'm on my way.

Amelia's at play rehearsal.
She's not feeling well.

I've got to go get her.

Well, uh...

call if you
need anything.

Well, you don't have a fever,
which is good.

How's your tummy feel?

A little better, I guess.

But when you went
to play rehearsal,

it felt kind of weird?

Maybe I'm getting
a cold or something.

You know, if
you get a cold,

you might not be able
to be in the play.

I know.

I'm no doctor,

but I don't think
it's a cold.

What is it?

I think what your sister has
is a bad case of the jitters.

Is it contagious?

Well, it can be,

but in this case,

I think I have
the perfect remedy.

Say this
five times fast.

Kris Kringle climbs countless
Christmas chimneys.

Dad...

No, trust me.
Trust me.

With Mr. Hennessey coming
to Christmas dinner,

it's the only way
I get over my jitters.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Let's say it together.

Kris Kringle climbs
countless Christmas chimneys.

Kris Kringle climbs
countless Christmas chimneys.

Kris Kringle climbs
countless Christmas chimneys!

Kris Kringle climbs
countless Christmas chimneys.

Incoming!

Come on in!
Kringle, Kringle...

Hi!

Lydia!
Lydia, hi!

Oh, Amelia has
a really important role

in the Christmas
Festival play,

and we're just
helping her get over

a slight case
of the jitters.

Oh!

Well, I do know

that it's always better
to be more prepared,

which is why I'm here
to help your dad,

and today
is Operation Kitchen Clutter.

Dad!

You said you were going
to make Christmas cookies

for my party tomorrow.

You know...

there is a cookie
recipe in here

that I used to make every year
with my mom for school,

and what better way
to get over "kitchen jitters"

than to make cookies, right?

Agreed.

Yeah?

To the kitchen!

♪ It's that time of year ♪

♪ Happening once again ♪

♪ Special moments are shared ♪

♪ With family and friends ♪

- How's that?

Cookies!

All right, Dad!

He shoots, he scores!

Prepare the second batch!

Aye-aye, Captain.

Well, thanks
for all your help.

No, thank you.

I actually
can't remember

the last time
I laughed that much.

Although we did fall
a little behind on our schedule.

Well, we'll finish the kitchen
tomorrow,

and then we'll start
on those closets.

Closets?
Oh, I can't wait!

Yeah, see,
that's the spirit.

Hey, that cookbook
you brought...

that's what you were talking
about at the bookstore,

part of your
Christmas traditions?

Yeah,
it belonged to my mother.

A gardener and a cook!

A woman of many talents.

Yeah, it was just her and I
when I was growing up,

and yeah,
I learned a lot from her...

and every torn page,

every spill in that cookbook,

it's just memories
I treasure.

Christmas around your house

must've been
some kind of feast.

Yeah, I used to love
making Christmas dinners.

Not anymore?

Uh, not...
not recently, no.

Oh... I'm sorry.
It's none of my business.

Let's just say

my ex-boyfriend wasn't exactly
the home-for-the-holidays type.

Well... his loss.

Well, I should...

Yeah. Me too.

Night!

"Cookies don't have
to be perfect.

They just have to taste good."

Did you lose a bet?

Hey, that was a gift
from my sweet Aunt Ruth!

What did you ever do to her?

I happen
to be her favorite nephew,

and she'd be very disappointed
if I gave that away.

Well...

you'll still have this one.

Also from Aunt Ruth.

Oh, boy...

Aunt Ruth?

Oh, no, no,
I bought that one for myself.

I love the way
it goes with my eyes.

Daddy?

Hey, sweetie.
What's up?

Um, Dad,

could Lydia help me
clean out my closet?

Oh, honey,
you don't have to...

I'd be happy to.

Okay.

Hmm...

You know, my mom
used to help me pick out

which clothes
to give to charity.

Mine too.

She loved stuff like that.

Sounds like
an amazing person.

She was.

My dad's pretty awesome, too.

It's just...

sometimes...

he forgets a lot,

and he's pretty busy.

Well, that's why I'm here,

so he has more time
for you and Thomas.

When I saw this snow globe
on the piano,

I decided it was my favorite.

My dad gave it to my mom
for Christmas

the year I was born.

She would bring it
to all my school plays,

like a good luck charm,

and I wouldn't get nervous.

And your dad will be
at your play, too,

and I bet that he will bring
that snow globe.

He didn't come last year.

He was working.

I know he feels bad about it.

Please don't say anything.

Don't worry.

He's going to be there...

because you and Thomas
are more important

than anything in the world
to him.

Thanks, Lydia.

So, it's just a prototype,

but I loaded my app
on your phone,

and, now, it makes
a great calendar,

but you can also use it
to set up reminders

for some of your jobs.

Like, I went ahead

and put in some of the things
we talked about,

like...
"organize the closets."

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

So when you are done
with the job,

you check the box,
it moves down,

and the next one
moves into its place.

What do you think?

Looks great.

It's not rocket science,

but it'll help keep you
organized.

I think it's really cool

how it looks
like a checkerboard.

Yeah, that's why
I call it CheckBoard.

You just keep
checking off the boxes.

You really do have
a cute name for everything,

don't you?

The whole purpose
of this...

is to give you
more time for that.

Well then,
I'm going to use it.

"Get Thomas
to hockey practice... now."

That's the idea.

Let's go, guys!
Hockey practice.

Okay, let's go.

I'll see you tomorrow!

- Bye.
- Bye!

Have fun at
the rink, Thomas.

- See ya.
- Bye...

Oh, and we'll have to get
started on that menu tomorrow.

I'll put it on the app...

along with the kids' schedule
for the week.

Okay.

- Uncle George!
- Hi, Uncle George!

- Hey, guys!
- Hi, Uncle George.

Mm!

George, hey.

Lydia, this is
my brother, George.

George,
this is Lydia,

the professional organizer
I told you about.

Nice to meet you.

So...

this is the miracle worker
who's going to save our bacon.

Oh, I don't know about that.

So what's going on?
Everything okay?

Yeah, yeah...

except I'm trying
to put together

this pitch for Hennessey

without
my business partner around.

Thought I'd run
a few ideas past you.

Dad...

Well, I've got to take
Thomas to practice,

and, well, I
promised these guys

that we would skate
to, you know, celebrate

the beginning
of winter break.

Bobby,
this is kind of important.

You could talk at the rink.

I mean...
couldn't you?

That's
a great idea!

What do you say,
Uncle George?

I mean, it's been a while

since you've got to hang out
with these two anyway.

Yeah, sure, sure.

Okay.

I'll meet you there.

See you there.
Okay, get in the car.

Okay...

Hey, Lydia, um...

come with us.

What?

You can help keep me
in that Focus Box.

Sure.

All right,
I'll follow you.

Great.

Pass it over here.
Come on, come on.

Okay, so I've worked out

a whole schedule.

We're going to meet
at the plant,

but I think we should do
a demo of the Santa Sleigh

as soon
as Hennessey gets there.

After that, we can show him
all the toys.

I need a list
from you,

and you just be
your charming self,

and then...
dinner.

How many
are we going to have at dinner?

Bobby,
are you getting this?

Yeah, I've got it, George.

I need you onboard.

Yeah, I'm onboard.

We'll have dinner.

She's a vegetarian.
Don't forget...

Dad! Watch!

Yeah!

That was pretty good.

Hey, nice work, Big Guy.

Yeah, you looked great
out there, Thomas.

Thanks.

Hey, Dad,
can we go skating now?

Yeah, sure, go! Go.

Want to skate with us,
Uncle George?

Like I'd pass up a chance
to show off my Triple Lutz?

I'm in!

Hey, Lydia,
come skating with us!

Uh...

no, I haven't skated
in years.

I've got some work to do.

Wait, wait, no, no.
No more work!

Come on,
let's get you some skates.

She'll be right there.
Come on.

Trust me,
it's fun, it's fun.

You've got to believe me.
It works.

Kris Kringle climbs
countless Christmas chimneys.

It... okay...

it's the third "C"
in your system.

Control.

Trust me, it works!

Just try it.

Okay...

Kris Kringle climbs
countless Christmas chimneys.

Yes!

Hey, okay!

Kris Kringle...

Whoa!

There we go.

Whoosh!

It's...

a complete disaster...

Oh... well...

And absolutely wonderful.

It must feel like Christmas
every day in here.

Yeah, kind of.

You know,
it's just not, um...

so...

Focus Box.

Right? I don't know
how you get anything done.

It's so...

disorganized.

I know where
everything is.

Robert...

Okay, maybe...

maybe you can't see it,

but I mean,
look, I...

I've spent years trying
to get everything

exactly the way
I like it.

And all due respect
to your system...

wouldn't you get
a lot more done

if we just straightened up
a little bit?

Why does everything
always have to be so organized

with you?

Well, I mean...
that's what I do.

Well, maybe everything
doesn't have to fit

into those little squares
of yours.

"Modules."

The point is...

okay.

Let's say I straighten things up
around here.

Great.

Then I would need to keep
everything neat, right?

Uh, yeah, that's
the general idea.

Ah, but if I have
to keep everything neat,

then it's going
to take a lot of time,

which would mean

that I would have less time
to get things done,

wouldn't it?

Okay...

The point of fact is,

I've already organized
my office.

We don't need
to change anything.

You like it like this.

Yes!
I love it!

I mean, when I'm in here,

I get all kinds of ideas
coming at me,

and I feel like
I can build any toy

that a kid
could possibly imagine,

and it doesn't matter
if it's neat or not.

What matters most

is the look on their faces
Christmas morning,

just like
the look on your face

when you walked in here
right now.

I, like... like... like...

okay, yeah,
check this out.

Santa's sleigh.

No...
Santa's Soaring Sleigh.

Watch.

Okay.

Come here.

- Oh.
- Yeah.

You made that?

You like it?

Okay, you're amazing.

So are you.

I... I mean, you just...

you've made
such a difference,

you know,
with organizing the house

and everything.

Thanks.

Hey, uh...

look at this.

Okay...

All right,

all I need you to do
is just clap.

What?

Yeah, clap like
you're at a play

or something.

Every Christmas,

my mother would take me
to see "The Nutcracker,"

and...
my favorite part

was "The Dance
of the Sugar Plum Fairy."

You know,
she always said

that it was because
of ballerinas

that I was probably
the neatest kid

anyone ever saw.

I always wanted everything
just right...

just like at the ballet...
organized.

Mm.

You know...

maybe sometimes,

disorganized
is exactly what you need.

What do you think,

roasted garlic green beans,
or snow peas?

Snow peas.

Done.

Dad?

Yeah, bud?

All aboard.

Let's go!

Go, go, go!
Story time!

Christmas Eve
is almost here,

but there's one big problem.

Santa's Christmas list
of good boys and girls

is missing!

Without that list,

how will Santa know
where to deliver the toys?

And if Santa...
doesn't deliver the toys...

on Christmas...

Can I see?

And if Santa
doesn't deliver the toys

on... Christmas...

and if...

It... looks the same.

I thought you were going
to organize him.

You can't organize creativity,
George.

You can't?

It's spontaneous.

It doesn't come out
neat and controlled.

It's jumbled and exciting
and messy.

This is what Mr. Hennessey
should see.

What she said.

Can you do anything
about him?

Okay, what is that
supposed to mean?

I think he means

that we should add
a little business attire

to your wardrobe.

But this is
my business attire.

I know just the place.

That's nice.
How's that feel?

Like I'm wearing
a straitjacket.

You look nice...

for a guy wearing
a straitjacket.

Why don't we take
a look at some ties?

Okay.

- Hmm...
- Ah, yeah.

Ho, ho, ho?

Um, you know, how about, um,

something like this?

Okay.

A little more subtle?

I like it.
Subtle's good.

Okay, so...

I can glaze the ham

and then soak the cranberries
the night before.

Oh, right, just be sure

and put the cranberries in
first thing,

so they have time to gel.

Right... oh!

There is a market on 16th
that has organic parsnips

for Mrs. Hennessey's
feta loaf.

Feta loaf...

Yeah.

Should my hands
be sweating like this?

You're going
to do fine, Robert.

You know what I need...
I need a test run.

A what?

A test run, like
I do with my toys,

just to work out
all the bugs.

Robert, that's brilliant!

A test run dinner, yeah.

We should do it
tomorrow night,

see what the kids
think of the food.

Actually...

it's pizza
and movie night

with their Uncle George,

so they won't be there,
but, um...

it's kind of
a tradition...

"It's a Wonderful Life."

Well, we could...
have dinner,

just the two of us?

Well, yeah,
a "test run" dinner.

Just to see if you could...

you know, for Hennessey
and the store...

- Yeah. Okay.
- Yeah, yeah.

Okay.

All right,
so we're all set.

All set.

Okay, so, um...

so then the parsnips...

I need to let it gel.

So it's not a date?

No. It's business.

So why are you so worried
about what you're wearing?

I'm not worried.
I just, you know...

I'm spending the evening
with him.

I just want to look nice.

Sounds like a...
a date.

Well, it's not,

because I'm good at business,
and I am lousy at dates,

so this is definitely
not a date.

I just know

that as an organized person,

I may not exactly mesh
with someone

who's less organized.

Someone like...

Robert, maybe?

It's not a date!

'Kay.

Sure. Yeah.

Hi.

Hi.

Wow.

You, uh...

you look great.

Well, you clean up
pretty good yourself.

Um...

I got you this centerpiece
for your real dinner.

Well, thanks.

We should...

Yeah...

♪ Deck the halls... ♪

How's this?
Thin enough?

♪ ...With boughs of holly ♪

♪ Fa-la-la-la-la
la-la-la-la... ♪

Now, that smells fantastic!

You're doing
really well.

Okay...

This is nice.

You're doing great.

Well, once Hennessey
tries this meal,

he's going to want more
than just your toys.

He's going to want the recipes.

It was okay?

You did great.

Come on.

Let's take a walk...

work off
some of this great meal.

Sure, yeah.
Just give me a minute.

I'm going to take these
over to the...

These... these'll be here
when we get back.

Okay, let's just do this quick
before I change my mind.

Okay, okay.

Whoo! Okay.

You know what?

You could save a lot of time

if you put the ham
in the oven first...

Just make sure you turn it down
before the feta loaf.

Wait, now who was it
that told me,

"When you're at work,
be at work,

and when you're not..."

I just... I want this dinner
to go so well for you.

I know.
I know you do.

So... what's on
the agenda for tomorrow?

Uh, well, the house
looks pretty good.

Um, dinner was great,

so...

I actually have a meeting
with a new potential client

in the morning.

Oh.

That's good.
I mean, that's great.

Yeah, um...

but, you know,
you should call me any time,

whatever you need, okay?

Okay.
Yeah, thanks.

Okay.

Oh, hey! Tree!

We never decorated it!

I was going to show you
how I do it...

We get to show you
how we do...

You're right.

You're right.

So I guess you have
to come tomorrow.

I guess so.

Oh! It stopped snowing.

Hey, uh...

do you believe in signs?

- Signs?
- Yeah.

Omens.
Portents of the future.

Not especially.

Yeah, me neither...
except...

Sirius.

Yeah.

That's got
to mean something.

Tree
O Christmas tree ♪

♪ Thy leaves
are so unchanging ♪

♪ O Christmas tree
O Christmas tree ♪

♪ Thy leaves
are so unchanging ♪

All right, so,

the secret
to decorating a tree

is getting the order right.

It's lights, garland,
tinsel, and then ornaments.

Well, you know,
we were hoping

to show you our system
for decorating the tree.

Oh, right.

Right, um...

What is that for?

Pin the Ornament
on the Tree!

Pin the Ornament on the what?

You can go first!

Okay...

This kind of sounds
more like a game than a system.

Oh, yeah.

Okay...

♪ O Christmas tree... ♪

- Up there?
- All right, Lydia!

This is a little bit
more fun than my system.

Right?

♪ O Christmas tree
O Christmas tree ♪

♪ You'll ever be unchanging ♪

It's wonderful.

I need to, uh...
oh...

get these guys to sleep.

Yeah, they're
really great kids.

Yeah.
I'm very lucky.

No, luck has nothing
to do with it.

You're an amazing dad.

Well, some days
are better than others.

Well, something tells me

that those days are
pretty hard to beat.

Yeah, I...

I think Amelia's nervous
about... about the play

because...
because I missed it last year.

I was just running
in ten different directions,

and...

I missed it.

I messed up big time,

and Molly, you know, their mom,

she never missed
a performance.

I know.

She told me.

She did?

Mm-hmm.

What'd she say?

Well, she doesn't want
to hurt your feelings,

but she said
that her mom was always there

with a special snow globe
every play for good luck.

Yeah, yeah, she was.

I, I, uh...

I bought it for her
when Amelia was born.

Huh.

It's not here.

Um...

I was...

It's... it's in her room.

Wonder why she took it
in there?

To remind her
of everything it means to her...

and to you.

Yeah.

We can't tell you how excited
we are to have you here

with us, Mr. Hennessey.

Well, I'm real interested
in seeing your operation.

You can tell a lot
about a person

by how they run the show.

Well, this is
the workshop.

We are all tooled up
to use wood, metal,

3D CAD and printing,

laser cutters, CandC,
rotocasting...

You know, fellas,

I've seen all this before.

I'm not as interested
in production

as I am in concept...

design and prototype.

Then follow me, sir.

Well, this is the brain center
of the company,

Robert's office.

I like it.

These are some of the toys
we're working on.

And what is this?

We call that
"The Sugar Plum Fairy."

Yes, this is...
this is very special to us.

My wife loves the ballet
and ballerinas.

It's very clever.

Remind me

to tell Sheila about this.

Oh, I will.

And what is this?

That...

that is Santa's Soaring Sleigh.

And we're sure

this will be your best-seller
next Christmas.

The remote control
will be your mobile device.

This is the prototype.

- May I?
- Please.

And with
the added range extender,

the sleigh can go higher,
it can travel further,

and it can do
a lot more tricks.

Maybe Mr. Hennessey'd
like to try it?

Oh, sure, absolutely.

No, it looks...
It looks a little complicated.

My favorite toys
were always the ones

that I could move myself.

Oh, it's a lot of fun.

And remote-controlled
drones

are very hot right now.

Well, when you've been
in the business

as long as I have,

you learn that hot
can turn cold

real quick.

So...

what else do you have?

That's the big surprise.

We were saving it
to show you

at dinner
tomorrow night.

- Oh?
- Yes, sir,

and when you see
what Robert's got up his sleeve,

you're not going
to believe it!

Well...
I hope so.

Yeah!

I'm looking forward to it.

Why would you tell him that?

I'm all out of tricks, George.

I've got nothing left
up my sleeve.

There must be something
you can do here

before tomorrow night.

Yeah, I can cook
Christmas dinner

and hope he changes his mind
over a full stomach.

We had him, too!

Did you see
the look on his face

when he saw that
ballerina dancing?

And Lydia was absolutely right
about your office, too.

Oh, well then, maybe
we should call Lydia

and see if she has
any more brilliant...

Ideas.

What?

What was it that Hennessey said
he liked most

about his favorite toys?

The ones he could move himself.

Yeah...

and he's a family man.

You're smiling.
Why are you smiling?

Is that good?

Maybe.

Lydia, hi!

Hi.

I'm sorry to just
stop by like this,

but I wanted to see
how your meeting went.

Uh... yeah, you know,
jury's still out,

but I think

the Christmas dinner's
going to be the big test.

Oh, well, in that case,

you've got nothing
to worry about.

Well, thanks.

Come on in for a second.

No, I'm actually running
some errands

for the new client,

but I wanted
to give you this.

What?

For Christmas...

and to say thank you...
for the job.

You have to open it,
though,

before your big dinner.

Okay, yeah.
I will.

Bobby, let's go!

Oh, hi, Lydia.

Come on,
little brother.

We've still got
a lot of work to do.

I'll be right there.

You're working?

Yeah.

Looks like we're going
to be at it all night, too.

Come on in for a second.

I'll show you
what we're doing.

That's... that's good.

Go ahead.
Get back to work.

It's obviously important.

What's wrong?

You know, I...

I just thought that maybe,

after everything you did

to find the right balance,
between home and work...

I thought that

you would stick with it,

at least for the holidays.

No, wait a second...

No, no, it's okay.

Really, I've...
been down this road before.

Road?
What do you mean, a road?

What?

He wasn't a client,
but it turned out the same.

He was always talking about...

leaving work at the office,
you know,

but when push
came to shove,

it was always
about the work, 24-7.

Wait, you don't understand.
We're...

But I do.

Take care.

Wait, Lydia.
Hold on...

Looking good, looking good.

Table set.

Okay, go see
who it is!

Uncle George!

They're here!

Hello, hello!

Come in.
Welcome!

- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.

Please, let me
take your coats.

Thank you.
Robert, George,

this is my wife, Sheila.

Honey, these are the fellas
I was telling you about.

Mrs. Hennessey.

Sheila, please.
It's so nice to meet you both.

It's a pleasure.

Oh, this is my daughter, Amelia.
That's my son, Thomas.

Hi. Nice to meet you.

Yeah, come in.

Oh, your house
is just lovely,

and so Christmas-y!

Thank you!

Oh, and what a beautiful
poinsettia centerpiece.

Our friend, Lydia,
gave it to us.

She grows them herself.

Does she?

Well, that makes it
a very special gift.

Yes, sure does.

Please, come in.
Take a seat.

Thank you for helping out.

This is the only chance
I've had

to wrap Eric's presents
when he wasn't around.

Aw, sure.

So, did Robert
like the tie?

He liked it at the store.

You didn't hang around
to find out?

No, he was busy.

He was doing some work
at home.

He was working at the house
the day before his big dinner?

Yeah, um...

you know,
shouldn't we get moving on this?

'Cause Eric's going
to be home any minute.

I'm surprised Robert
didn't invite you to the dinner,

the way you two hit it off.

He's a client, Pam.

I was hired to help him
spend more time with his kids

and get ready for a big
business dinner tonight.

What he does with that help
is up to him.

The job is over.

Right, check it off the app,
move on.

- Exactly.
- Yeah, sure, I mean,

why would you have feelings
about it one way or the other?

I mean, just because
he's smart, funny...

definitely easy on the eyes...

I know what you're doing.

The question is,
do you know what you're doing?

I was hired
to organize his life,

not get involved in it.

Are you involved?

You know,
for almost two weeks,

I've seen him every day.

We've spent all this time
getting to know each other,

and...

last night,
all I could think was...

"I don't want it to end
because the job is over."

I was kind of getting used

to all the confusion
and the chaos...

maybe even enjoying it
a little bit...

his messy office,

decorating the tree
with a blindfold,

walking together in the snow...

That sounds pretty good to me.

Yeah, then he was working
like nothing had changed.

Trust me.

Whatever that was...

everything's changed,

for both of you.

That was delicious.

Robert, you are a man
of many talents.

Thank you, sir.
I'm happy you enjoyed it.

I did have a lot of help
from these two.

And from Lydia!

And from Lydia.

You know,
when we invited you

to share part of your holiday
with us,

it was because we wanted you
to see for yourselves

exactly how important
family is to us,

especially this time of year.

Well, we couldn't
agree with you more.

Robert's kids are the most
important part of his life,

and he's taken that love,

and he's put it at the heart
of Trent Brothers Toys.

Young man,
you have my undivided attention.

Thank you, George.

Well, Mr. Hennessey,

as you've seen
for yourself,

many of our toys have
all the bells and whistles

you could possibly imagine.

They fly, they talk,
they dance...

but sometimes,

all of that just gets in the way
of what really matters...

and sometimes,
all you really want

is a game that you can play
with family and friends...

one you move
around yourself,

which is what the newest toy
from the Trent family

is all about.

We call it
the Family Game Drawer.

Everybody's favorites,
conveniently in one place.

Well, an impressive use
of technology,

but we have
family game board boxes.

What?

Isn't that clever?

Well, I'll be.

It's compact,

it's portable,

and it holds
11 different board games.

Thomas?

May I?

Yes, please.

Well...

we do love board games.

So do we.

Mr. Hennessey,
I started making toys

because...
they inspired my imagination.

And I've kept making toys

because, well...

there's nothing better

than watching someone's
face light up.

That's what special toys do.

People shop at my stores

because they know
I'll see to it

that they find what they want,
and what they need,

and a big part of that

is being in business
with the right people.

As far as I can see,

Trent Brothers Toys
is a mighty fine combination

of tradition and innovation...

I would be proud

to go into business
with you two fellas.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

That's, that's
what I was telling you about.

Oh, it's adorable!

Oh...

Uh...

All right,
my little bookworm.

Time to go to bed.
You've got a big day tomorrow.

Yeah.

Hey, listen,
by the way,

thank you so much
for your help tonight.

It was a huge success.

Yeah, no problem.

You okay?

Yeah, I guess.

I miss Mom,
too, honey.

I just wish she would be here
to see my play.

Yeah, me too...

and I know it's hard for you
without her being there,

and I also know

you're worried
because I missed last year,

but I promise you,
I'm going to be there...

and...

I think
even if we can't see her...

Mom will be, too.

I think so, too.

Yeah.

You know, there's
just one problem, though.

I can't find
the snow globe

that Mom used
to bring with her.

You know the one
I'm talking about?

The Christmas one

with the little girl
and the fox inside?

Yeah.

Yeah, I don't
know where it is,

and, you know,
I want to bring it, but...

This one?

There it is!

You kept it safe,
didn't you?

Yep.

I love you, Dad.

I love you, too,
sweetheart.

Oh! Lydia, hi!

Hello. I know you're busy.

I just wanted
to drop this off.

Ooh...

Gingerbread.
My favorite!

How do I rate?

It's just my way
of saying thank you

for being
such a great friend.

By the way...

my kitchen
is a disaster area.

And that's good.

Yes, it is.
I've got to go.

Merry Christmas!

Okay, come on, Em!
Your audience awaits!

Do I look okay?

Um, who are you?

Where's Amelia?
Thomas!

How did this elf
get in our house?

I don't know!

Dad...

All right, hey,

I just need to make
one quick stop on the way.

Be right back.

Merry Christmas!

Okay, let's go!

Wow.

- Uncle George!
- Uncle George!

Hey, here they are!

Amelia, you look great!

Thanks.

Dad, I've got
to go backstage.

Right, right. Go, go, go.
You're going to be great.

You're going to be great.

Love you.

Amelia's play!

Robert, no...

Hi there!

I was just getting
Amelia's special snow globe.

- Hey, I just texted you.
- Oh!

Yeah, I just really
wanted to see you.

I didn't bring my phone.

Really?

Well, it said that we closed
the Hennessey deal!

What? Congratulations!

Thanks.

Oh, the play!

Yeah, let's go!

Come on.

Christmas Eve is almost here,
but we have a big problem!

Santa's Christmas list
of good boys and girls

is missing!

Without that list,

how will Santa know
where to deliver the toys?

And if Santa doesn't deliver
the toys on Christmas...

and...

And if Santa doesn't deliver
the toys on Christmas,

there will be
a lot of sad children!

It's up to us
to find that list!

Wake up, elves!

Follow us!

I'd definitely say this is
a Christmas to remember!

It's thanks to you
and your "Three-C System,"

you know...

and...

I also have to say
that, uh...

I think there's
a fourth C.

There is?

Yeah.

C, for change.

You've changed my life, Lydia.

You have absolutely
changed mine.

You know, 12 days is not nearly
enough time to spend with you.

I have a feeling

we'll be starting
a whole calendar.
