Hey Paula, can I grab you
real quick?

Yeah.

What's up?

We're on deadline to get
the McHenry Auction Catalogue

on the site.

I'm still not sure
about this lamp.

Well, what does
Mrs. McHenry say?

She says it's a real Emily.

The family story goes that
her Great Grandmother got it

for a wedding present back East.

Somehow, made the trip
to St. Louis in one piece.

Well, colour looks good.

Nice patina on the brass.

You hear that?

Is it broken?

They used to use wax to hold
the panels together,

as they wax dries over the years
the panels loosen.

If it didn't rattle, you'd know
the lamp was a fake.

So, rattling's good.

Yep.

You can tell Mrs. McHenry
that her Great Grandmother

got a very nice wedding present.

Thanks.

Aunt Jane!

Hey, how is my favourite niece
doing this evening?

She's trying to figure out
how to make room

for all of her Christmas
decorations.

Yeah, well your places
looks more festive every year,

I wish I was there to help you,
honey.

Me too.

Wait, is that the harbour
I'm hearing?

You've come up for air
from your writing desk?

Is that a good sign!?

It's a very good sign!

You finished your book!

I did, I did!

And I wanted you to be
the first to know.

That's amazing, congratulations.

Thanks so much, I just sent
it off to my editor

and I'm sure she'll have some
things to say about it

but I feel really hopeful.

I'm sure it's gonna
be wonderful.

When do I get to read it!?

Gee, that's actually
why I'm calling you,

I'm trying to tempt you
to come to Nantucket.

So beautiful with the holidays
coming and, I don't know,

you can read it
while you stay at my house?

I wish.

I'm up to my neck
in this McHenry Auction.

You can bring Daniel,

I mean when was the last time
you two got away?

Too long.

Yeah, exactly.

So, come, come see me.

I'll speak to Daniel.

Good!

You do that and call me back,
okay?

You alright?

Yeah... I'm good.

Okay, I love you sweet stuff.

I love you.

Buh-bye.

Daniel, hi.

Hey.

Sorry your assistant said you
were just finishing up in here?

You didn't get my message?

Really?

You really should check
your phone more often.

Well, if I check my phone
then I know you were cancelling

and then I would never come here

and then I'd never get
a chance to see you.

That makes sense.

So what's on the docket that's
so important Mr. Counsellor?

I got slammed
with this Hodges case-

I still have a dozen depositions
to schedule

assuming their lawyer
doesn't ask

for another continuance.

Which is way too much
information.

Just a...

I really am sorry about lunch.

Well, can I at least take you
for coffee?

We can go downstairs,
won't even have to take you out

into the snow.

There's snow outside?

You...

So, Aunt Jane finally finished
her book.

She was wondering if we could
make it to Nantucket

before the holidays
so I could read it.

Can't she just email us a copy?

Kind of missing the point.

Come on, you, me, Nantucket,
romantic getaway.

No, I get it.

But the way this case is looking
I'm gonna be working weekends

right up to the holidays.

And don't you have the McHenry
Auction to prep?

Yeah, but I feel like
you've been working so hard

you could use the break.

We both could.

Believe me, I know.

I gotta say Gery, Christmas has
become a whole lot more festive

around here since
you bought this place.

It's a labour of love.

I hope you worked up
an appetite.

Today I got a big pot of lentil
and chestnut soup on the stove.

Sounds perfect.

What do ya think?

It's beautiful!

Yeah.

It's starting to feel a little
bit like Christmas.

Ho-ho-ho!

So, how's the cherub festival
prep going?

Well, we still got a long way to
go to get the youth centre ready

and Christmas is just
around the corner.

You and that Christmas
spirit of yours

will get it done.

You always do.

So... what're you gonna do
for Christmas?

Well, after the cherub festival
I guess I'll just be back here

looking after the place.

You should come over
to the house.

Join us for dinner.

Dorothy, that's sweet
but your...

Your family's gonna be there

and you're gonna need a break
from this place.

Christmas is about being
with them.

Christmas is about being with
the people that we care about

and that includes you.

No one should be alone
for Christmas,

especially after a divorce.

I know.

But I'll be fine.

Well, the offer's still open
if you change your mind.

Thank you.

So, I found this open
store front

that would actually be perfect
for a little antique shop.

I thought you decided
not to open a shop a while ago.

Well I did, it's just the bakery
on Jefferson closed down so-

Well, you know how impractical
those little shops are

and most of them don't even make
it past the first year.

I know, I just-

I thought you liked working
at the auction house?

Well I do, but, sometimes I feel
like I spend all my time

reviewing reports and doing
inventories on these huge estate sales

and it feels more like I'm in
a factory than anything else.

Weren't they talking about
moving you up?

You'd have your own department
to run.

It'd be like owning
your own place

but you wouldn't have to build
it from the ground up.

I'm just gonna go look at it.

Alright.

Let me know how it goes.

What time are your parents
coming over for dinner tonight?

I was thinking about that
and I don't want you to have

to spend the whole
night cooking.

So, I made reservations.

What?

Yeah, my parents only come
into town once or twice a year

and they'd much rather spend
the evening talking

versus watching us run back
and forth to the kitchen.

The office really can't live
without you, can they?

That was me.

I'm sorr...

You set an alarm?

I will pick you up at 7:00.

My parents and sister
will meet us there.

There they are.

We were beginning to wonder
what happened to you two.

Sorry everybody, it's my fault.

Got held up at the office.

My big brother working late,
what are the odds?

Sis, how you doin'?

I'm hungry.

Merry Christmas, Katherine.

Merry Christmas.

Paula, seems like forever.

It's good to see you, Robert.

You look beautiful, Paula.

Thank you, so do you.

I really need to talk to you.

Later.

Yeah, sure.

Welcome.

Cheers everyone.

Cheers.

Need any help?

No, I'm good, thank you.

Just finishing up.

Great.

Then you can help me fold
the rest of these napkins.

I'm not sure I should
be enabling

this little napkin obsession
of yours.

It's festive.

I tell you what, if you fold
30 of them,

I'll tell you what
tomorrow's soup is before I go?

Deal.

If I could have everyone's
attention, please.

As you all know, if there's
one thing that Paula likes

more than Christmas and
antiques, it is cooking.

And when Paula cooks,
she really, really cooks.

Stop!

So, I decided to have dinner
here to make sure

that I could have her
undivided attention

when the time was right.

Paula, when I first met you,

something told me that you were
the girl of my dreams.

And after these years together
I'm sure of it.

I can't think of a better
Christmas gift than to know

that we'll spend every
Christmas together from now on.

Paula, will you marry me?

Yes.

Yes!

I'm getting married!

We need some champagne.

Congratulations!

Thanks Dad, thank you,
thank you.

You've been quiet.

I think I'm still in shock.

Can I take that as a good thing?

Yeah.

So, you're gonna turn this place
into a winter wonderland.

Well, Christmas is coming.

No kidding.

Okay, Mr. Scrooge, I thought
you were looking forward

to all the Christmases
we'd be spending together

once we were married?

Absolutely.

I just don't know if there's
room for all this holiday cheer.

What do you mean!?

Well, my place is a lot smaller

so it's gonna be a pretty tight
squeeze when you move in.

When did we decide that?

Just makes sense.

Well, I - I thought that
we would look for a place

of our own, together.

Well, we'll be buying
at the top of the market

so financially speaking
it makes a lot more sense

to sell this place
and move into mine.

What you just said that
your place is a lot smaller.

Paula, I can't move out here.

The commute would be insane.

It would be insane for me too.

But you wouldn't have
to keep working.

It's not a matter of have to,
it's because I want to.

No, of course not.

It's about stories.

It's about our personal
histories and how these things

take on a life of their own.

It's a memory of a time
where a person,

that really means something.

That's why you wanted
your own shop?

Yeah.

Let's just... take one thing
at a time.

I'm sorry, I did not mean to...

this is not how I wanted
tonight to end.

Clearly, we have some things to
talk about before the big day.

But what happens is that
we love each other.

And the rest, like you said
it's just,

it's one step at a time.

Okay?

Okay.

Hey!

Hey Aunt Jane.

I wanted to give you
the good news.

Daniel asked me to marry him.

That's fantastic!

Congratulations!

Yeah, it really
took me by surprise.

Well, those don't sound like
happy tears?

I don't feel like it either and
I'm trying to figure out why.

I just wasn't expecting this.

Okay, you and I are gonna figure
this out together, okay?

I'm going online right now

and I'm gonna get you
a plane ticket.

Come stay with me,
we'll laugh, we'll cry

and I'll listen to you.

For as long as you need me
to about anything

you want to talk about, okay?

Okay.

Okay, I'll forward the flight
information to you right now.

Thank you.

You're welcome, I love you,
I can't wait to see ya!

Me too.

I'll keep you in my prayers,
honey. See you soon!

Bye.

Jenn, hi!

Hi.

I'm sorry about just dropping in
on you like this.

I thought I'd catch
you before work.

No, it's fine, I...

Sorry we didn't get a chance
to talk yesterday with-

- Everything that was going on.

Totally, I get it.

Are you going somewhere?

That, yeah, no I was
just gonna take a trip

to visit my aunt in Nantucket.

It's like a last-minute thing.

You're not wearing
your engagement ring?

Yeah, I'm just, I'm still,
you know,

trying to get used to it.

He really threw you a curve,
didn't he?

Yeah.

You could say that.

I guess I always thought we
would talk about getting married

but recently it seems like

when Daniel makes his mind up
about something, that's it.

You didn't come here to talk
about me, I'm sorry.

What's going on?

Please, come in.

Well, I have been looking
for a job this summer

and Daniel pulled some strings
and got me a really great job

at a really good law firm.

It's a great opportunity.

But?

I'm just not sure that's
what I want to do.

A friend of mine works for
a marine biology boat

down in Florida.

They save marine life and help
preserve coral reefs

and she said a crew position
might be opening up.

But how much do you know about
marine life and coral reefs?

Not a thing.

Well, I mean it's a lot
different than working

in a law firm.

It is.

But I'd actually get to see
the world,

before I figured out what it is,

I wanna do with my life.

So, what should I do?

Well, you need to have a
conversation with Daniel

and tell him how
you honestly feel.

Like how you're gonna tell him?

Mine and Daniel's relationship
isn't going to change

over the weekend.

And right now, I'm just looking
forward to spending some time

with my aunt, she...

she has a way of seeing things
more clearly.

You focus on you and we'll talk
when I get back, okay?

Thanks.

Come here.

Welcome to Charlotte Inn, folks.

So why don't you go on in inside

and get you checked in
in just a minute.

Hey, Vern said that package
that you ordered

came in a day early
on this mornings' flight.

That's great.

I'll swing by later
and pick it up.

I'll let him know.

Thanks Buddy.

There's my girl!

Hi!

So good to see you.

It's good to see you.

What a weekend I've got
planned for us!

Walks, fires, food,
lots and lots of antique.

That sounds... great.

Just a little bit of bad news
though with the good.

It's not about your book, is it?

No, everything's fine.
My editor called though

and she needs to talk with me
about the manuscript

because the publishers want
to put it out a little earlier

so that's good.

Okay, well don't worry about me.

No, no, no, you're not gonna
sit around and watch me work,

are you kidding!?

I promised you a great weekend

and I'm gonna give you
a great weekend.

What's this?

Well I was going to surprise you

and go to Martha's Vineyard with
you but just because I can't go

doesn't mean you shouldn't go.

Well, I mean I've never
been to Martha's Vineyard.

You're gonna love it!

And Edgartown has some of
the best antique shops anywhere

and you're not even
gonna miss me you,

you're gonna be so engrossed
in all of them.

Well, I...

Yes is the word
you're looking for!

Okay.

And you're booked
on the last flight back

so, I'll have a great dinner
waiting for you,

I'll take your bag home with me.

Okay.

Alright, this is me
saying goodbye.

Bye.

Go spend money.

Okay.

Retail therapy,
like I taught you.

Bye.

It's for a good cause.

If you're gonna be on the island
for the holidays.

I'm not but thank you.

You bet.

Good to see you again.
How are the kids?

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

Do you think you could take me
into town?

Sure thing.

Where you headed?

Edgartown.

I heard there's some good
antiquing there?

Good choice.

Hop in.

Thank you.

Okay.

Sorry, it...

Hang on a sec.

Hey, Kenny.

Did Stacie get my notes
on the grading report?

Thank you.

Pardon me.

Hey Buddy, everything okay?

I don't know, this thing never
breaks down.

Well, let's take a look here.

Okay.

Bye.

You need a new starter, maybe?

Hi!

Hey.

I'm sorry about this, ma'am.

Should I get another cab?

Well, if you can find one.

Keep pretty busy this time
of year.

Gery, you know she's
just heading into Edgartown.

Would you mind giving her
a lift?

Oh, no I couldn't.

I'm headed that way anyway.

And this might take a while.

Are you sure?

Is it no trouble?

It's no trouble at all.

As long as you don't mind
making a quick stop on the way.

Sure yeah, no problem.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Hey, no problem.

Gery Conover.

Paula Mayor.

Nice to meet you, Paula Mayor.

First time on the island?

I'm just here for the day,
I... my aunt was supposed

to be here she's in Nantucket
but something came up,

so, here I am.

Well, Christmas is a pretty
special time a year around here.

Oh yeah?

How long have you lived here?

Well, only about three years.

But it already feels like home.

Especially around the holidays.

Christmas has a way
of doing that, you know.

No matter where you are
it just...

gives you a sense of home.

That's right.

Thank you, again, for the ride.

This is quite the car.

It belonged to my Grandfather.

He bought it brand new.

Right off the show room floor.

It still looks brand new.

It's one of my favourite things
to do,

looking after this old beauty.

Are you okay if we stop by
the Youth Centre?

Oh, yeah.

It'll only take a second.

No problem.

I bet you didn't know you'd be
seeing the vineyard

in a genuine Detroit classic?

No, I, did not.
Lucky me.

Actually, this got here a day
early so you really are lucky.

Well, it's all in the timing.

That is what they say.

Ooh, look at all of this!

Hey Gery, did you bring them?

She's so excited.

Hi Katie, you better believe
I did.

Who's that?

This is Paula.

She's visiting the island
for her very first time.

Hi.

Come see the baskets.
They're the best ones ever.

Oh my gosh, those are
the best ones ever.

They're so good, the kids
are gonna love them.

And, look what I got.

Those are the cutest.

Yeah, they sure are.

There's more on the way.

This friend of mine
from the Mainland

donated a bunch for the kids.

And we get to decorate them
anyway we want.

You know, when I was your age,
my mom used to call me

the Christmas decorating queen,

'cause I would cover the house
in homemade decorations.

Mine taught me how to make
snowflakes yesterday.

Right mom?

That's right, sweetie.

That is a great cameo brooch.

Thank you.

My Grandmother gave it
to me ages ago.

It was really popular
in the '30's.

If you ever want to clean it,

just use a little
white toothpaste

with a soft brush
over the white shell

and it will brighten
it right up.

Really? Toothpaste...
I had no idea.

Cherub Christmas festival.

I've been seeing these
all of the airport.

Yeah, we have Gery
to thank for that.

He handles all the fundraising,
among other things.

No, everyone pitches in
to make it happen.

Well, it seems like everybody's
really into it.

Yes!

And we're keeping you
from your antique shops.

So, we're gonna go.

I'll be back later.

Okay.

It's nice to meet you, Katie.

Are you sure I can't just drop
you at the shops?

No, no, I've put you out
of your way enough,

I can just walk from here.

This is beautiful!

It's like a Christmas card.

Yeah, the house was actually
built in 1866.

It belonged to a whaling-ship
owner and then in 1934,

Charlotte Pent bought it
and turned it into an inn.

The Charlotte Inn.

You're quick.

Unfortunately she was
unable to keep up

with the repairs and it kind of
fell apart

and then about three years ago,

it was completely renovated
to its original beauty.

You sure know a lot about it.

Yeah, I did the renovations.

You work here?

Technically I own the place
but yeah,

you could say that my work
is never done.

You, you sure have a talent
for restoring things.

I don't know about talent,
but I definitely enjoy it.

Something kind of special
about breathing new life

into old things.

Yeah. It's a way to thank those

who took care of the things
before us

and a way to pass them along

to whoever will care
for them after us.

That's right.

Antiques.

Of course, yeah

you just shoot right back
down this road,

take a right at the sign and-

Hi Gery!

Who's your friend?

Dorothy, this is Paula.

She's visiting the island.

Hi.

Hi, welcome.

Thank you.

This is the best time
of year to be staying with us.

You'll love it.

I'm not staying here I'm just...

here for the day.

Well why don't you come in
and have a look around?

I just finished preparing
my soup of the day.

I'd love to but I don't
wanna be a burden,

I should-

Nonsense.

I'm told I make the best soup
outside of Santa's Workshop.

You're gonna have
to eat eventually, right?

Yeah. Eventually.

Then it's settled.

Settled.

Settled.

I'm just-

I'll make a quick phone call
and I'll meet ya inside.

Sounds good.

Hey, Paula, I'm sorry
I can't talk right now,

this Hodges case just blew up
in our faces.

I may have to fly to New York.

That's sorry,
I... I...

I will call you
as soon as I can.

Okay, yeah. That's fine.

Love you.

Bye.

I guess.

I grew up in St. Louis.

My mom worked in the main branch
as a librarian

it was one of those, big old
buildings they used to make,

you know, the kind that
you would just get lost

in all of the books.

It sounds great.

I used to spend hours
just exploring the shelves.

And you still live
in St. Louis?

Yeah, I moved back after I graduated
with no idea what was next.

I mean, what do you do
with a history degree.

I guess that depends on
what got you interested

in the first place?

I always had this fascination
with different times.

You know?

How people lived,
what they thought,

what they loved.

I'm assuming that's why
you're interested in antiques.

Probably, yeah.

When I moved back I looked
into teaching... research.

No, no I don't see that for you.

Says the man who's known me
for what, two hours now?

No, I could see you in a museum.

Why do you say that?

Betsy's brooch.

The second you looked at it,
you knew exactly what it was.

Okay... I work in
an auction house.

There it is.

I spend most of my time finding
out whether or not

antiques are real.

I was pretty close.

Close... ish.

I should get going.

Yeah.

I'll walk you to the door.

Okay.

I'm happy that you stayed.

It was nice.

Thank you.

The whole place, you've really
done a wonderful job with it.

Thank you.

Are you sure I can't
give you a lift

to the antique shops?

No, no, honestly,
it's such a short walk.

Anyway, good luck with
your antiquing and whatnot.

Yes.

You know where you're headed?

If I don't, I'll just
call Buddy to pick me up.

Great.

Well, if I don't see you,
Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

I'll get the door.

Take care.

Bye.

Hi.

Hi.

Can I help you find something?

I'm just looking around.

You have a really
lovely shop here.

Thank you.

I've got a little bit
of everything, I guess.

A friend of mine has a place
just like this.

It's packed to the brim,

I think I've lost days in there
helping her catalogue.

Well, it seems like you know
your stuff.

Well, I dabble.

Must be fun having a store
like this.

It has its ups and downs.

There's definitely never
a dull moment.

Let me know if you see something
you like.

Haggling is an old and cherished
tradition around here.

Good... to... know.

I can hear ya thinking
from the kitchen, Gery.

It's just the decorating
for the festival this weekend.

I want there to be something,
I don't know,

special for everyone.

You know something to get
their holiday spirits racing.

I just can't put my finger
on what's missing.

Looked like ya made
a new friend.

Paula?

No, she's just in town
for the day, antiquing,

headed back home
to St. Louis very soon.

Shame you're so busy.

Looked like you two
really hit it off.

Yeah.

No, I mean, but you know,
never stops.

Well, it's the holidays.

Make sure you take some time
to enjoy.

Indeed.

This is a great place.

Thank you.

There are two other shops
down the road

that have some nicely curated
selections as well.

They're the oldest stores
on the island.

Well thanks.

And Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas to you.

You don't happen to know
if this Currier and Ives print

is an original, do you?

Those just came in this morning,

I haven't even had a chance
to look.

It's in wonderful condition.

I've had a few of them
come through here,

they usually get bought up
right away.

About 75 percent

of the Currier and Ives images
families bring in

are knock-offs

but some of them are
pretty good, they can fool you.

Really?

What gives them away?

Well, the thickness of the paper

but it's hard to tell when
they're in the frame.

You can take it out,
if you like.

You sure?

Please, be my guest,
you've got me all curious now.

Okay.

Sorry.

Speaking of work,
I just, gotta take this.

Hi, Kenny, everything okay?

One of the McHenry's
doesn't want us

to include the estate
jewellery anymore.

Can you hold on a sec?

My advice would be to just
check it out first

before you put a price tag
on it.

Okay thank you very much.

Yeah.

Bye.

Bye.

Kenny.

Hey Buddy, what's up?

I don't know.

I don't know, it just
won't start.

...what do you think?

And how goes the antiquing?

I've actually only got the chance
to look into one store so far,

Past and Presents.

That's nice.

Yeah.

Susanna's only had it
about a year.

She's still trying to make
a go of it.

Yeah, it can be tricky,
having your own shop's a...

lot of balls to juggle.

Free cider for you?

Is that the voice of experience
I'm hearing.

No. I mean not yet.
That is.

I've looked into having
my own shop but-

I even found a store front.

So, what's stopping you?

It's not something you can
just sort of jump into.

That's what they told me
when I bought the Inn.

I like my job at
the auction house.

But sometimes I think
I might be a little

too sentimental with this line
of work.

What's wrong with that?

Well, families bring in
their treasured heirlooms,

passed on from generation
to generation

and I've been known to talk them
out of selling.

That can't be good for business.

No, but, yeah.

Well, you know, some things

are more important than money.

Yeah.

You know it's a shame
you're only staying for the day.

There's so many things
to see here.

The lighthouses, South Beach,
the carousel.

There's a carousel?

Yeah.

It's the most summertime
attraction.

It's just outside of Tisbury.

Paula?

Sorry, the...

That was my mom's favourite
Christmas carol.

We used to sing it all the time
on the way home

from Christmas service.
It's...

I should get to the airport.

Yes, I can give you a lift,
if you like?

Well, thank you... again.

Okay.

Well, I guess this is good-bye.

Again.

You know, unless Buddy's cab
breaks down

in front of the airplane.

Or you're expecting
another package.

- Yeah, no.
- No.

It was nice to meet you, Paula.

It's nice to meet you too, Gery.

- See ya.
- Bye.

Ladies and gentlemen,

due to severe fog conditions
in Nantucket,

all flights have been cancelled.

Please see agent for re-booking
tomorrow.

Fog?

I heard it on the radio.

Yeah.

They said Nantucket's never seen
such a heavy fog

for this time of year.

Whatever it is,

all flights are cancelled
until tomorrow.

I'm staying at
the Charlotte Inn.

The Charlotte.

That place is booked up months
in advance for the holidays.

Yeah, their main house is booked
but I guess I got lucky

they had a last-minute
cancellation

in the carriage house.

That's a little more
than luck sweetheart!

People reserve the carriage
house like a year in advance.

How'd it go with your editor?

It was great.

I'll tell you all about it
when you get back.

Okay.

They haven't mentioned
when they're gonna open

the airport again
but when they do

I'll be on the first flight
back tomorrow.

Okay, well just text me alright,
I'll... I'll pick you up.

Okay. Love you.

Alright, be safe.

Hi.

Hey.

I brought you a toothbrush
and some other things

I thought you might need, since
you weren't planning on staying.

That is... that's so sweet
of you, thank you.

Just make yourself comfortable

and if there's anything else
you need, just let me know.

Okay.

We serve dinner until 9:00.

In case you're interested.

Yeah, well actually,
you wouldn't happen to have

any of that soup left over
from lunch, would you?

I'll see what I can do.

Okay.

Enjoy.

Yeah.

Excuse me.

Hey!

Hi.

How's the room?

Perfect.

Good.

Yeah.

What's going on in here?

We do this every year,
it's just a little holiday cheer

before we walk down for
the Christmas tree lighting.

Christmas tree lighting?

That's right.

Down at the waterfront, a bunch
of people gather round,

there's carols and lights,
it's fun.

Nice.

Hey Gery!

Could you excuse me,
for one sec?

Yeah.

Hey Paula!

Hi.

Look.

Nice work.

I think it'll be an antique
one day.

Well, I think that maybe
you should sign your name

because when it does become
an antique,

people will know who did it.

Okay.

Hey, Katie, can I see?

Hi, Paula.

So, you gonna come to the tree
lighting with us?

I'll give you a cookie
if you come?

Sold!

It'll be fun.

Come on, I'll introduce you
to everyone.

Okay.

So we've done it every year as
a thank you to the community.

One of my favourite Christmas
traditions is when families

would make their own Christmas
ornaments to hang on the tree.

You mean like fur on strings
and paper chains?

They'd use all kinds of things
like,

branches or pinecones or,
corn husks.

You know.

The point is they would make it
with their hands.

Hey you two, what's up?

Well, just... makin' stars.

That would be nice to do
at the store.

Where'd you learn to do that?

My mom showed me.

Her dad showed her, it's sort of
been a family tradition

that's gotten passed down.

Well, ain't that something.

Merry Christmas.

That's it.

That's it, that's what we do.

That's what's missing,
the old-fashioned ornament,

old Christmas traditions.

An old-fashioned
cherub festival.

Yeah.

I love it.

Best part is, we don't
have to ship anything in

from the Mainland.

Everything we need is
right here on the island.

It's easy.

Yeah, seems easy.

Buddy may need a few
more lessons.

Yeah.

Ladies and gentlemen,

it's time for the tree lighting.

Here we go.
Buckle up.

Okay.

Is everyone ready
to light this tree?

Here we go.

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5,
4, 3, 2, 1!

You're just...

Appreciate the lesson in
'old-fashioned' decorating.

What're ya building over there?

A pinecone.

Okay.

A little bit of white paint.

Okay.

An old canning jar.

I like it.

Voila!

No way.

It's a snow globe.

My mom taught me how
to make these too.

She was always the best at
making the most of Christmas.

I noticed Susanna had
a bunch of old canning jars

in her shop.

Perfect.

I'll pick those up tomorrow.

How're you doing over there?

Very well actually.

Thank you, couldn't be better.

Is this supposed to look
like that?

You build stuff, right?

Yeah, but not out of sticks.

You make it look so easy.

It looks great.

So, three years in
Martha's Vineyard,

what about before then?

Boy, okay.

I grew up in Philadelphia,
huge Philly's fan.

You're kidding?

What?

I went to the University
of Pennsylvania.

So did I.

What?

We could've passed
each other every day

and not even known it.

Okay.

After graduating,
I mean Martha's Vineyard

is a long ways away
from Philadelphia?

It's also a long story.

And complicated.

Hey, can I buy you
a hot chocolate?

Sure.

Good.

You know it's funny,
people always talk about

how beautiful this place is
but they always end up

missing all the little things.

Like fog horns?

Like fog horns.

And how seeing things
a different way

can change the way you look
at them.

I saw this, my first night
on the island.

Now it wasn't Christmas

but all the lights on
the waterfront at night,

just kind of made me feel like
everything would be okay.

So, you stayed.

Yeah.

Like I found another piece
of my puzzle.

It's too bad you can't stay
for the festival.

Yeah...

Maybe next year.

Yeah.

Brought ya some coffee.

You're an angel.

Thanks, Dorothy.

So the fog in Nantucket
has lifted.

Yup.

They're reopening the airport.

That's good.

Well, she hasn't left yet,
you know.

What?

She was up early this morning,
asked me to call her a cab.

Where to?

I brought ya a coffee.

It's pretty cold up here
this time of year.

You came prepared.

Thank you.

When I told you about
the carousel,

I forgot to mention that
it's closed for the winter.

That's okay.

I was just curious.

Well, maybe your Christmas
wish should be that it's open.

Or maybe I just have
really bad timing.

When I was a little girl,

they would always set up
this winter wonderland

during the holidays.

I thought it was so magical,
they had these lights,

decorations, this enormous
Christmas tree.

But my favourite part...

was the Christmas carousel.

Every Christmas Eve, my mom
and I would ride it together.

We always picked
the same two horses,

Dancer and Prancer.

Because we pretended
they were reindeer.

We would even bring
little scarves

to wrap around their necks to
keep them warm it was... silly.

But it was wonderful.

That was Christmas to me.

What about now?

My mom passed away
two years ago.

I haven't been to
a carousel since.

I'm sorry.

I don't know why
I'm telling you this.

I don't know, maybe I

just want you to know something
about me,

something I don't usually
tell people.

Thank you.

Yeah.

They reopened the airport.

Guess you got a flight to catch.

Yeah.

I have no service up here
so I can't check in.

You can use the computer
in my office.

Ok.

We should go.

Yeah.

Thank you.

And there you are,

I'll be in the kitchen
if you need anything.

Thanks, this shouldn't take
too long.

Okay.

Yes, we got some of what you're
looking for right on the shelf.

Good morning.

Paula.

Good morning.

I didn't think I'd see you
again so soon.

Yeah, I was just curious
If you had found out anything

about the Currier
and Ives print?

Actually, I reached out
to some people

and I went on the internet.

Here, have a look.

Okay.

I remember what you were saying
about the thickness of the paper

so I took it out of the frame.

Tell me what you think.

Well, it feels good.

One other way you can tell
is by the pigment.

Yeah, I was reading that
the originals were

all individually hand-coloured.

If you look close enough,

I think that those are
brush strokes.

I don't know, I could be wrong.

Not at all.

This is one of the best
I've ever seen.

I was hoping that
you would say that.

I would like to buy it.

Really?

Yeah, actually I'm getting
on a plane shortly,

would you mind putting it
in a frame for me

and having it delivered?

Absolutely.

But, only if you let me give you
a 25 percent discount.

I've been so busy trying to sell
the store that I doubt

I would have even had time
to check if it wasn't for you.

You're thinking
of selling the store?

Yeah, it's only been a year
but I just don't have

the passion for antiques
that someone needs

to keep a place like
this running.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's a,
it's a lot for sure.

And that is why I appreciate
someone like you who does.

Okay, I will have this delivered
later today.

Actually...

Could you have that
delivered tomorrow?

Sure, no problem.

So, what is the address?

We went for a walk last night.

Yeah.

And the way the Christmas lights
sparkled off the water was...

so beautiful.

He wanted me to stay.

Ah-ha.

And did you want to stay?

Yeah.

No.

I don't know.

I didn't tell him
that I was engaged.

Well, you're not wearing
your ring.

Are you still engaged
to Daniel, honey?

I love Daniel, I do.

He asked me to marry him
and I said yes.

I know what you need right now.

You need a great walk,
with a fabulous aunt.

And I happen to know
one personally.

Come on, lets get some
fresh air.

It wasn't easy moving away
from home

and leaving you and your mom.

But when I married
your Uncle Mike,

we made a promise
to one another.

So, when he got the job offered
to come here to Nantucket,

well, it was like a big ol' leap
of faith for us.

I know how much you miss him.

Every day.

But you know what, when
things like that happen,

big things like moving
across the country.

You know it's important
to try to see things

in a different light.

What do you mean?

Well, sometimes God
does not speak to us

in a voice that we can hear.

Sometimes, God winks.

Mom always talked
about Godwinks.

Yeah, well, we grew up that way.

We knew that when things
happened to us

that we didn't understand,

it was really a way of
getting our attention

and moving us, guiding us,
onto the right path,

you know?

A better one.

So, you think everything that
happened this weekend is...

God winking at me?

How many things had to happen
in just the right ways

at just the right time?

So that you and Gery could get
to know each other.

It's kind of miraculous.

So, what am I supposed
to do now?

Just, call off the engagement?

Only you can figure out
what happens next, honey

and it's not going
to happen here.

It's gotta happen right here.

In that beautiful heart
of yours.

Listen to it, it will tell you.

I love you.

I love you.

So big.

Remember when your mom
used to say I love you so big?

Alrighty, I'm going to go home,
start supper, you comin'?

I'm just going to just
hang back here for a little bit.

Okay.

Listen to that heart of yours,
honey.

Paula, will you see who that is,
please?

I got scones in the oven.

Daniel!

Hi, Paula.

Come in.

Thanks.

What are you doing here?

I thought I'd come surprise ya.

Yeah...

I have a meeting tomorrow
in New York,

so I took an earlier flight,
so I could see ya.

That is so sweet.

Look what the tide dragged in.

Big guy, how are ya?

It's really good to see you.

You too.

I hear congratulations
are in order?

Yeah, thanks, once she got over
the shock of it she said yes.

Yes, and your timing
is impeccable.

Yeah, I just got some scones
out of the oven

and if you're interested,

I think I could rustle up

a little of that
strawberry jam of mine.

Yum, lead the way.

Come on over.

So, Paula tells me I should
be congratulating you too, Jane.

You finished your book?

Yeah, I sure did.

I was going over some notes
today with my editor.

It sounds like it went
really well.

It did, sweetie, thank you,
yeah.

They're planning on putting it
out in the new year

so that's great.

Well, here's to hoping
that next Summer,

people are reading your book
up and down the beach.

Thank you so much,
from your lips to Gods ears.

Two minutes, I promise.

Hey!

He'll be right back.

So catch me up
on where we're at, okay?

I gotta get ready for church.

No, no...

What's that?

That... is a snow globe.

It doesn't look like
a snow globe.

All it needs is a little
Christmas magic.

Hey, Gery?

Where do you want these?

Right here. Perfect.

Buddy, pinecones.

Lots and lots of pinecones.

Okay, I'm on it.

Hey!

I thought you'd be
out and about,

looking at all the decorations
by now?

Yeah, Daniel's
just had call after call.

Yeah. You alright?

Yeah. Yeah, I am.

I can't believe he came all
the way out here to surprise me.

He used to do things like that
all the time.

I think I just... I've realized
how much I miss that.

I bet you do.

Well you know what tonight is,
Nantucket Christmas stroll.

It's the highlight of the entire
holiday season.

Everybody's gonna be out looking
at the shops and the lights

and all the decorations.

You two need a romantic night
together, you need to go.

I will talk to Daniel
but that sounds nice.

Doesn't it?

So, does a cup of tea.

Yes.

What do you think?

Love it.

Yeah, so the idea is people
can try their hand

at the various vintage crafts.

Well now isn't that lovely.

You hang these on a tree,

Christmas spirit like you
wouldn't believe.

And we help raise money
for the youth centre.

That's wonderful, Gery.

Paula, actually gave me
the idea.

Yeah, it is pretty wonderful,
isn't it?

I almost forgot.

Susanna dropped this off
for you.

What is it?

I thought you'd know?

I didn't buy anything.

Well, would you look at that.

It's from the same series.

These Christmas prints were the
most popular things they did.

I've seen pictures of this one
but never an actual print.

Who's it from?

Good question.

I really am sorry about
all those calls, this meeting.

No. It's important, I get it.

Not as important as you.

I want you to know that.

There's just so much
that I want for us, Paula.

Daniel, just this, here,
us alone,

I can't remember the last time
that that has happened.

That is nice.

Speaking of which.

Yeah.

That's a keeper.

You're not wearing
your engagement ring?

Is something wrong with it?

What, no.

No... no, of course not.

Then why aren't you wearing it?

I...

I just.

This all happened so fast.

We didn't even talk about it.

I guess I was just...

Need a little bit more time
to...

Get used to it.

I... I'm sorry is there
something I'm missing here?

Two years we've been together
and you weren't ready yet?

Daniel, I haven't been wearing
the ring the entire time

that you've been here

and this is the first time
that you've noticed it.

Which means what?

I don't know.

That's the problem, I just...

I feel like we are out of sync,

like we don't know each other
the way that we used to.

I'm sorry.

I didn't want to do
this tonight,

I just wanted us to enjoy this.

I...

I'm sorry too.

I, you know, I've gotta be
up early in the morning,

I should probably get out
of here.

But look, you stay.

Enjoy the rest of this.

Daniel...

You're up early.

Daniel left about an hour ago.

Okay.

And how are you feeling
about that?

I've been sitting here asking
myself the same question.

Honey, I've known you
your whole life

and you have never rushed
into a decision.

But when you make up your mind,
in here, you know it.

Yeah, I'm just...

pretty confused as to what's
going on in here right now.

I know.

I know you are but you're
going to be okay.

I'm here for you.

I don't know what I would do
without you.

I don't either.

You'd be lost.

Just like I would too.

I love you baby girl.

So much.

I should get back.

Yes, you should, you have
a plane to catch.

Yeah.

Go.

You know you're beautiful,
right?

You know you look
just like your Mother.

Stop.

No, I'm not gonna stop,
get outta here.

Susanna.

Hi, Gery.

Did you get the package
that I left with Dorothy?

That's actually why I'm here.

It's a beautiful print,
isn't it?

Original Currier and Ives,
hand-painted.

It is, except I didn't order it.

I just assumed it was
an early Christmas present.

From whom?

She didn't tell you?

Excuse me.

Hello?

Are you still in Nantucket?

Gery?

You haven't left yet, have you?

You're still in Nantucket?

No... I mean yeah,
I'm just about to board.

Can you stay, for a bit?

Just for a bit, please.

No, I-I have to go.

No, I know but...
not yet.

Please.

I'm sorry I...

I can be there in one hour.

What?

This is... This is crazy,
what do you mean?

There's another flight
in a couple of hours.

What difference is a couple
of hours going to make?

I don't know.

Maybe nothing, but isn't it
worth finding out?

Paula, please.

Okay, hurry up.

Okay.

You asked me a question...
that I didn't answer.

Right, when I asked you how
you got to the vineyard

from Philadelphia.

Yeah.

When I was telling you about
my Grandfather's car,

what I didn't say is my
grandparents raised me,

and my Grandfather,
there wasn't anything

that he couldn't do
with his hands,

when it came to building
and fixing things.

Which is how you got so good
at all the renovations.

I got pretty good.

But, I felt like I should also
cover my bases.

So, I studied finance
and money management.

You know, I had a good job
waiting for me

when I graduated and then
about three years later,

I got married.

You were married?

I mean, that first year we were,
we were really happy.

What happened?

What happened was,
I woke up one morning

and I realized how much I missed
working with my hands.

And then one day I was
walking down the street

and I looked in the store window
and I saw this print.

A Currier and Ives
Christmas print.

The one in your office.

And I thought well that wouldn't
be so bad, would it?

Living in a place where people
take the time to appreciate

something like a snowy park
on a Christmas day.

You um... you bought the Inn

because of a print you saw
on the window?

I guess that's what it comes
down to, yeah.

You know weird thing is I lived
in Philly my whole life.

Never seen that shop. I'd never
even been on that street.

And when I saw that print,
I felt like I had found

a missing piece of my puzzle.

What about your wife?

She came, for a while, stuck it
out but she ultimately wanted

to live in the big city
and I knew in my heart

that that would never
make me happy.

So, we signed divorce papers
at the beginning of the year.

I'm sorry. I-

Which is... it's not what
I came here to say.

When I saw that print
that you gave me,

it was like I was right back
on that street,

looking into that store window.

Except you were right there
beside me.

And it just felt right.

I'm... I should have
told you this when we met.

I'm in a relationship.

I'm engaged.

Gery...

No, no, no, it's okay.

Look, you're an amazing,
beautiful woman.

And it only makes sense that
somebody else found you first.

I hope he knows how lucky he is.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Okay.

Good morning.

Hey, how was your trip?

It was good.

I put the appraisal report
for the McHenry watches

on your desk.

And a box of books came in
last minute.

I went through most of it

but I left a couple of piles
on your desk

that I wasn't sure about.

Kenny, thank you.

Welcome back.

Daniel gets in late tonight
from New York.

So, what are the two of you
doing for Christmas?

I... I don't know, we actually
haven't talked about it

since he left Nantucket.

Well, honey it's less
than a week away.

I know.

I'm sure we'll probably just
have a quiet holiday together,

try to relax a little.

Okay, well you know you're
always welcome here, right?

I know, thank you.

You take care and I'll talk
to you soon.

Okay.

Okay, bye-bye.

How's your aunt?

She's great.

Yeah, it was good.

I saw Daniel for a night.

How was that?

Good.

Yeah.

Was... great.

You know, what you said to me
the other day really helped.

Just know yourself, know
what you need to be happy

and stick to it.

It's true.

You give good advice Paula.

Well sometimes.

How are you going there, Buddy?

This isn't working.

Alright.

Try it again.

You've got to take it slow,
alright?

You want to bend it
just enough that...

Not so easy, is it?

I'm gonna go get some cider.

Hey.

Gery, that looks great,
just like how Paula made it.

I'll tell ya what...

It's all yours, champ.

Thank you.

Is Paula coming to the festival?

She had to leave.

She's spending Christmas
at home.

I'm sorry she won't be here.

I really liked her.

Yeah.

Me too.

No, no, they already pushed
the deposition back twice.

Let me give you a call back.

I didn't know you were
coming by?

I thought I'd surprise you
this time.

I was gonna call you last night.

By the time I got in
it was so late.

No, it's okay, I know
you're busy.

I promise not to stay
too long I just,

I feel like...
I, miss you.

I miss you too.

You know we haven't talked about
Christmas yet?

I know, what would
you like to do?

I was thinking that maybe
we could invite Jenn over,

if she doesn't have plans yet.

Yeah, Jenn, you know she called
me early this morning,

telling me she was going to
spend the holiday this year

with a friend, in Florida.

Well, at least the weather
will be nice.

This isn't funny, Paula,

we're talking about
my Sister's future.

Yeah, you're right, her future.

So, you really think it's okay
for her to just walk away

from a chance at a real career,
which for the record,

I had to call in a couple big
favours to get for her.

Well, I'm sure she knows that.

Have you thought about
asking her what she wants?

Apparently, to sit in a boat
in the middle of the ocean

for weeks at a time.

No Daniel, she just wants you
to listen to her, to hear her.

When I fell in love
with you Daniel,

you were the kindest person
that I had ever met.

People mattered to you.

You cared.

I still care.

About work.

And there's nothing wrong
with that.

But it's not what I want.

You're a really good guy,
Daniel.

I'm sorry.

I have to take this call, Paula.

Hey Jim.

Yeah, we already got the...

Okay.

Yeah.

Okay, yeah, I'll give him
a call.

Hey, Paula.

Hey, is that invitation
to Christmas still open?

Are you serious?

What about Daniel, sweetheart?

I'll see you after
the McHenry Auction.

Okay, I don't know
whether to laugh or cry.

Well, we'll do a little bit
of both.

Okay sweetie, I love you.

I love you too.

Bye.

Hey.

No, yeah, I know.

But I think I've got a plan.

Paula!

Hi.

It's so good to have
you back, honey.

How are you doin'?

Better now.

I just want you to relax
and enjoy yourself, okay?

As of this very moment,
guess what?

What?

You're officially on holiday.

But we're going to have to hurry

because our plane is boarding
right now.

Wait, what?
Where am I going?

No, we, we, we are going
to Martha's Vineyard.

No, no, no, I just want to,

hide under a blanket and read
a book and drink cider.

No, honey, the best remedy
is to go out there and enjoy

all the Christmas that
you can grab in your hands.

It's Martha's Vineyard though.

Martha's Vineyard is where all
the great antique shops are.

We didn't get to make our memory
last time.

It's a big island.

Everybody's going to be
running around

with last minute
crazy Christmas stuff.

We are too.
Let's go.

Come on.

Before you change your mind,
let's go.

Thank you, Aunt Jane,
this is really helping.

Oh gosh, don't mention it,
sweetie,

I just want you
to enjoy yourself.

Look, you love those.

I do.

That's so sweet.

You lookin' for something?

No.

No.

Okay, let's go to Tisbury.

It's the cutest little town,
you're gonna love it.

Lets grab a cab.

Hi, are you available?

Yes ma'am.

Great, thank you.

Hi, Paula.

Hey, Buddy.

Where are you two going?

Tisbury please.

Hop in.

Paula?

Yeah.

We gotta go if we want
to get there before dark.

So, you fold the piece of paper
like this and then you cut here,

here and here.

Okay just make sure that you
squeeze the lid good and tight.

See.

Mom, look at my tree!

That looks great!

Let's take a look.

Yes, please.

Ah-ha.

Well Gery, it looks like
you did it again.

I couldn't do it
without you, Dorothy.

You know that.

It's nice, isn't it?

Having everyone together
like this.

Yeah.

...Good for you.

So, how was antiquing,
find anything good?

Yeah.

Yeah, I think so.
It was nice.

What was that?

Nothin'.

Are you sure?

Yeah, nothing to worry about,...

Probably just the engine.

Well, can you fix it?

Sure, yeah, just gotta make
a quick phone call.

Oh, no.

Buddy!

Yeah, it broke down again.

Hey.

Don't-Get off the-
get off the phone.

Hold on.

You know what, I can
see town from here

I think we should go for a cup
of coffee while we wait.

Don't be silly, he's gonna call
a friend.

No, I-

I definitely think that
we should go for a walk.

Definitely.

Wait, wait.
It's my editor.

What?

Hello?

Yes, yes, I'm here.
Can you hear me?

You know what, I'm gonna...

I'm going by myself.

Go, go!

Yes. Hi!

I hear you better over here.

Yeah.

First of all I want to thank you all
for coming tonight

I hope you're all having
a good time.

Yes!

Good, good.

I'm thrilled to announce
that between ticket sales

and your donations,
we have officially met

our fundraising goal
for the youth centre.

You have given these children a
truly wonderful Christmas present

and to that I say,
Merry Christmas to all,

and to all, goodnight.

Thanks.

Now, go, enjoy yourselves.
Have fun, it's a party.

Gery, did you turn
your phone off?

What?

No.

Well, Buddy just called,

says he's trying to get
a hold of you.

Where is he?

I don't know.

Give him a call.

What's going on?

Paula.

Gery.

Hi.

Hi.

Welcome back.
What...

I was in, Buddy's cab and
then it, it, well broke down.

So I, I saw the lights
on the carousel

but they're not supposed
to be on,

in the Winter.

No, they're not.

What are you doing here?

I got a call that Buddy's cab
had broken down...

Again.

I thought you were spending
Christmas in St. Louis?

Yeah, I was, I mean I did, I was
I was supposed to.

I just... turns out that's...
not what I wanted at all.

I think I was missing a piece
of my puzzle too.

His cab seems to be
working just fine.

Aunt Jane! Hi!

We're so glad you made it,
Paula.

We were so afraid you were going
to go straight to town.

I'm sorry, you two
know each other?

Oh, honey, I've been antiquing
here for years

of course I picked up a friend
or two along the way.

Hi, Gery, it's so nice
to meet you, I'm Jane.

So, you two gals had something
to do with this?

Well, you know what,
when God winks at two people

they way he's been winking
at the two of you,

how could we not notice.

You needed a little nudge.

With the help of Buddy
and his cab, of course.

It was no problem.

The carousel was a nice touch,
by the way.

Yeah, let's just say
I was inspired.

You?

It took me a while to defrost
the gears

but it should be running
like summertime.

Well, maybe we should go back
and enjoy the festival.

Absolutely.

But can't we just...

No, we can't.

Buddy.

Merry Christmas you two.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas, Paula.

Merry Christmas, Gery.

It looks like I got my Christmas
wish after all.

I think we have time for a ride.

Absolutely.

Shall we?
