Kevin Jenner,
travel writer extraordinaire.

Doofus.

Do you seriously answer
your phone like that?

Meg, is that you?

Yes, it's me.

Can't you just
add me to your contacts

so you don't have to ask
every time I call?

I don't add anyone
to my contacts,

it makes answering my phone
more thrilling.

Hey, I got an important day
at work today.

Can we, uh, can we talk later?

No, I have to talk to you.

Do you love me?

Do I love you? Yes, I love you.

You're my favourite sister.

I'm your only sister.

Hey, Meg, what's up?

Do you need a kidney
or something?

What? No.

I want you to come home
for Christmas.

Kevin? Did you hear
what I just said?

Yes. You know I can't do that.

I'm going to Aspen on
a luxury Christmas piece.

It's a big one.

I thought your boss hadn't
assigned who was going yet.

She's choosing me.

If I ever get to work.

She's picking today.

But you haven't been
home for Christmas since...

Mom misses you.

Are you sure everything's okay?

Meg, work has been hectic.

All right? I'll be there
next year, I promise.

I'll see you in the new year.

I love you.

Tell Mom I say hi.

♪

Good morning, writers.
Good morning.

How's everybody doing?

Good morning.
Nice to you see you.

You all look very dapper
and beautiful.

I like the red, very holiday.

All right. As you all see
we are in mid-December

and our holiday content
is in full swing.

Epiphany has never looked
more festive. Look at it.

I am very proud of the hard work

that each and every one of you
has put in this last year.

You've done a great job.
Thank you.

However, Epiphany's traffic
has gone down about 20%

since last December.

Yeah. I mean,

it's like competition in the
online magazine world is fierce,

I could hardly keep up.

Let me guess. Another
pregnant woman needed saving

on the way to work this morning?

Uh, no, no, no.

It was, um...

Litter of kittens.

Very sad.

As I was saying, Epiphany's
readership has taken a turn.

People,

they don't want any more of that
New Age hipster holiday fluff.

They want stories of hope,
they want stories of redemption,

they need the proof

that the Christmas magic still
exists out there somewhere.

So it's really important,
really important,

for each and every one of us
to start finding stories

that speak to
the heart of the season.

And I hate to have to say this
but our jobs depend on it.

Um, ho-how do our jobs
depend on it?

Are you saying
there's going to be cuts?

Likely in the new year.

Unless we all get
a Christmas miracle.

And I hate to have to
break this on you guys

right before the holiday

but unfortunately
that's just the way it is.

So, any other questions?

Have you decided who's getting
the Christmas Aspen piece?

Yes, it's going to be you.

You're picking him?

Yeah. And you too.

Sorry?
Excuse me?

What do... Wait. What do you mean
that we're both going?

We have two completely different
writing styles.

Yeah, that's right.

One is interesting and fun.
It's clean and professional

versus messy and disorganized.
One is boring and bland.

Boring and bland? Really?

I've been here...
Oh, come on.

Will both of you please stop it?
Stop it!

I said stop before I...

Or do I need to
send both of you to detention?

I mean, these are tough times
in journalism.

Our readers, they need to be
part of a story

that puts them in
the Christmas spirit

so they can remember what
Christmas is truly about.

Which is what exactly again?

You know, that is for
you two to figure out.

All I know is that our readers
should be so enchanted

that they are rushing to
plan their own Aspen Christmas.

And that is why I picked both of
you, my two best writers.

Because you two are wonderful

but you're skilled
in different ways.

And I know this may
sound a little harsh

but I really need to figure out

which one of you is
my most valuable writer.

Hm?
No, really.

Do my readers want soft
and warm and historic?

Or do they want fast and bold
and straight to the point?

Why are those mutually
exclusive? I don't understand.

Well, it's simple. It's simple.

Whichever one of you
can write the piece

that gets the most traffic
to the site,

then you are
my most valuable writer.

And what happens

to the person that doesn't
get the most traffic?

Like I said, we all need
a Christmas miracle.

Flight leaves 1:00pm sharp.

Please don't be late.

I don't care how many kittens
need saving, Mr. Jenner.

Yes, ma'am.

Miss Hudson, I need to
speak with you.

Enchanting is my niche.

Why am I being sent to Aspen
with the class clown?

Will you please stop it?

Please.

I need to protect this company.

Now, how are you doing?

I know this is a hard
time of year for you.

I'm fine.

No. Really.
I need to know, Jenna.

It's only been, what, a month
since you and Andrew broke up?

And I know how excited you were

to meet him and his family
for the holidays.

Oh, no. Everything's great.
I'm happy.

I just want to work.

You know what I think?

I think that it would be good
for you to meet someone new.

Oh.

No, really.

Be open to new experiences.

And you never know, you might
meet somebody in Colorado.

Oh, boy.

I'm going to go now.

Let that hair down
a little bit, girl.

No, really. Loosen up.

Can't write with my hair down.

It's itchy.

I meant that figuratively
and you know that.

I know.

Loosen up!

Goodness.

What was that about?

We're stuck sharing the article.

Well, I'll be on the slopes
most of the time anyway.

Do you board?

Do I look like I board?

That's right.
Robots don't board.

Look, Aspen is a big place.

We'll just stay out of
each other's way.

Fine by me.

Me too.

Where you going?

To organize.

And pack.

We don't leave 'til tomorrow.

Ha.

Toothbrush, phone,
passport, floss.

Taxi.

Hi?
Hey.

Sorry for dropping in on you
like this.

What's up?

You going somewhere?

Aspen for work.

Oh, you got the Aspen gig.
Good for you. I knew you would.

When's your flight?

One o'clock.

Um, my taxi really should
be here any minute.

Flight's not for
another four hours.

Andrew, if you want to talk
about things I could probably...

I think I left my lucky tie here
and I just wanted to grab it

before the office
Christmas party.

It's in the second drawer.

Great.

Ah, yeah!
You ironed it too!

You're the best.

♪

Good afternoon,
ladies and gentlemen,

this is your captain speaking.

Welcome to flight 1215

departing shortly for
Aspen, Colorado.

We anticipate a bit of
a bumpy ride this afternoon.

Blizzards are making their way
across the Midwest.

So, please don't be alarmed by
any turbulence along the way.

We hope you have a comfortable
flight. Thank you.

Of course
she put our seats together.

Excuse me.

Um...

Sorry about that.

This plane's taking off
in four minutes.

Did you seriously just get here?

I ran into a cute girl
at the souvenir shop.

Unbelievable.

She wanted a piece of
my chocolate bar.

Trust me, it takes really charm
for me to share my chocolate.

Yeah. Did you get her number?

Tell her you were
going to Aspen?

"Hey, I'm going to Aspen."

You think you got me
all figured out, huh?

You are so not that complicated.

Thanks for sharing your
chocolate with me, Mister.

Anytime.

Have a good flight.

So cute.

What's that noise?

What is that sound?

Are you afraid of flying?

What?

No.

I fly all the time.

Me.

Oh.

Oh, this is going to be good.

This is a special news
weather update.

Low pressure systems

and a sudden onset of
blizzard-like conditions

are making their way
across the Midwest.

♪

Oh, yeah.

Too fast. I'm too fast.

That is so loud.
What is that hunk of junk?

Electronic Quarterback,
totally addicting.

You know there's, like,
1,000 apps you can download

instead of
lugging that thing around.

I got this thing for Christmas
when I was five years old

from my dad. All right?

I held the top score
since I was 12 years old.

Oh, the top score?

The top score.

Wow. On your own game?
That's impressive.

Trust me. You do not want me
as a competitor.

Is that so?

Yeah. In anything.

You care to prove me wrong?

No, I'm fine. Thank you.

Oh, no. No, please.
Be my guest.

Nope. I'm good. Thanks.

Be my guest.
I'd love for you to play it.

No, I really don't want to
irritate on this place

with all the crazy noises
that thing makes.

Oh, you're afraid of
a 12-year-old's score,

is that what it is?

No, I'm fine. I'm good.
Yeah?

I can understand there's
five buttons on this thing

so I get it, you know.

You don't know how to play.

All right. How do you play this?

All right. Do you know
what foot... ball is?

Yes, I know what football is.

So there's three
offensive players

and six defensive
computer controlled players.

Okay.

You press the blue button
to run.

You press the red button
to pass.

Okay.

There we go.

Just like that
over and over again?

Okay, just...

Yeah, don't press the buttons
so hard.

There I go. Oh, look.
I did it again.

It gets more difficult.

As you get to the fourth level.

Oh, did it again.
Let's see. Here we go.

I see that you're doing it.
All right?

Okay. I feel like I'm winning.

I feel like I'm just winning
one right after another.

You're doing okay.
I mean, there's still...

Oh, oh!

It's great.

Look how close I'm getting
to your score.

Touchdown!

Hey.
Sorry.

You're making a scene.

It's just turbulence.

It's going to be all right.

This is your captain speaking.

Due to inclement weather
conditions in Colorado

the Aspen County Airport
is now closed.

What?
What?

We're preparing
for an early landing.

I assure you there is
nothing to worry about.

Simply a precautionary measure.

I apologize for
any inconvenience.

Emergency landing?

It's supposed to
come out of the ceiling.

I can't breathe.

It's not... it's not
an emergency.

Relax, okay?

I can't breathe.

Don't laugh at me.
I can't breathe.

We're going to land

and then we'll take
the first flight out to Aspen.

All right. It's not a big deal!
Oh, god.

You don't know that.

Yes, I do know that.
Trust me.

We will begin our descent
to a local airport

just outside of Santa Claus,
Indiana immediately.

Did he just say Indiana?

Did he just say Santa Claus?

Can I have a...

May I help you?

Yes. Yeah, we need the first
flight out to Aspen, please.

I'm sorry, all flights
are cancelled right now.

We have no clear idea when
we'll be able to fly anyone out.

Listen, um, we're actually not
on vacation like everybody else.

We have to get to Aspen
because our jobs depend on it.

I'm sure you can understand.

We can't stay in Indiana.

Well then, you better start
wishing for a Christmas miracle.

Smooth.

No, I understand. Thank you.

No vacancy there either.

One more person tells me to
wish for a Christmas miracle

I'm going to lose it.

This is unbelievable.

We're not going to get to Aspen,
we're going to lose our jobs.

I'm not losing anything.
Let me tell you.

That lady was right.
We need a Christmas miracle.

There's no such thing
as miracles!

It's nice to be positive
during the holidays.

There's no such thing!

Okay?

Well.

I haven't seen such big frowns

since the Christmas
with no snow.

Here.

Thanks.

So, what seems to be
the problem here?

Oh, you don't have to
worry about it.

Our plane was grounded

and we don't have anywhere
to go or stay.

But, you know,
we'll figure it out.

Well, that's quite
a frosty pickle.

That's one way of putting it.

Do you happen to know of
any hotels in the area

that would have vacancy
this close to Christmas?

Funny you should ask, my husband
and I own a small inn in town.

If you need a place to sleep
and a warm meal,

I assure you we are
the coziest place around.

Oh, that just sounds...

Miraculous.

Oh, there's Chris now.

Oh, what have we here, my petal?

These kids need a place
to stay for the night.

And I don't think
I know your names.

How rude of me.
Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm Jenna Hudson,
I'm a writer from New York.

Well, I'm not from New York but
I went to NYU for journalism...

She asked for your name.

Not your resume.

Columbia.

Hi, guys. I'm Kevin.

Hi, Kevin.

Well, I'm Carol Winters
and this my husband Chris.

Wonderful to meet you both.

We'd be delighted
to have you stay with us.

Absolutely.

No excuses.

We should be going though,
it's going to be dark soon.

I'll go fetch Rudolph.

Like the reindeer?

Oh, don't be silly.

It's what we call our car.

Ah.

Welcome to the Winters Inn.

Oh, wow.

How old is this place?

It's been standing tall
since 1832.

Look at the detail
in that mahogany.

That stained glass window.

My goodness, this could be
the work of Louis David.

Who?

I've always admired
Georgian homes, you know,

they're so symmetrical
and balanced.

Well, somebody knows
their architecture.

You're such a suck up.

I have a subscription to
Architecture Digest, sue me.

You kids must be tired,
we'll get your room ready.

Lucky for you, the Mistletoe
Suite is available for tonight.

What?

Oh, no, no, no.

No, we can't.
We're not together.

I would never ever.

Oh, my god.

Oh, uh, well then,

why are you travelling together
for the holidays?

We're on assignment.

We're both writers for
Epiphany Magazine.

Yeah, I'm supposed to be
in Aspen right now

in a luxury chalet writing
a heartfelt Christmas piece.

I'm supposed to be boarding knee
deep in powder

at a legendary mountain.

And then I was going to have
a holiday cooking cuisine class

with a triple Michelin-star
chef, which is very exciting.

There's a natural spa
actually.

I don't think there's
any natural spas in Aspen.

Appointment at the springs.

My mistake.

I'll put you in separate rooms.

They'll have to be
side by side though.

Can you two manage that?

Oh, yes.

Yeah, yeah. That's perfect.
Thank you.

Oh, hi.

Will this do?

Oh, Carol, thank you.
It's perfect.

There are complimentary pyjamas
in the drawer if needed.

And the bell will ring
at 8:00 in the morning

for breakfast downstairs.

Well, great. I think I'll be
up and about well before 8:00.

Very well.

I'll see you then.

Knock knock.

You know, you could actually
knock like a normal person.

What?

You laugh now, huh?

It's like I'm in
a bed full of bunnies.

Wait 'til you try yours on.

It's like I'm wearing nothing.

But I'm not.

You really have a way
of putting things

so even a two-year-old
can understand.

I have my own pyjamas,
thank you.

Not a lot of light in here, huh?

I like it.

My bed's softer than yours.

Is there something you needed?

No, I just wanted to know

if you wanted some help
unpacking your broom and cape.

Goodnight, Kevin.

Goodnight, Jenna.

♪

Mm.

Well, well, look who
came late to breakfast.

Yes, I slept in.

Haven't slept in
since I was a child.

Sounds like the saddest thing
I've heard in my entire life.

Have you looked outside yet?

Looks like we're living in
an Indiana snow globe.

Yeah.

With no way out.

Yes, that's what a snow globe
is, you're stuck inside.

What is your issue
with Indiana anyway?

Maybe that it's not
a luxury chalet in Aspen

surrounded by beautiful
snowcap mountains?

Thank you, Carol.

We might not be Aspen

but there's no place
like the Winters Inn.

You'll see.

Well, you're lucky to be here
for our last Christmas

before we close.

Oh, you're closing? Why?

Oh, dear.

The developers have been
threatening

to shut us down for years
to build a big luxury hotel.

You're still here.

Mmhmm, sure.

Since this place has been
designated as an historic site

it can never get approval.

What happened?

They made a case that the man
who founded this inn in 1832

is a fictional character.

And therefore the building
has no historical significance.

Who founded it?

Well, the great Saint Nick,
of course.

I'm...

So sorry to hear
that's happening to you.

Is there anything
that can save your inn?

Only if we can prove that it is
a national historic landmark.

Good morning, my dear.

Oh.

Good morning, you two.
Morning.

Morning, Chris.

Um, any word on those flights?

Looks like the snow is
disappearing and we really...

We should get started,
we should go.

The blizzard is still in
full effect in Colorado.

There are no flights
in or out of Aspen.

You got to be kidding.
What?

On the bright side,
all this fresh show is perfect

for our sleigh rides
this afternoon.

That's very sweet.

So, you're saying
there's no way into Colorado?

I can't drive there.

There must be another way
to Aspen.

A private airport. There's a lot
of rich people in Aspen.

It's a great idea. What, are you
going to charter your own jet?

Did I say I was going to
charter a jet?

It sounded like you meant that,
yeah.

Why don't you and your pancakes
mind your own business?

Okay, fine.
Yeah.

We'll just sit over here and
enjoy our carbs.

Okay, okay, okay.

I'm sorry, you two,
it looks like you're snowed in.

You're snowed in?!

Yeah, there's no way in or out.

This is a disaster.

I need your pieces
uploaded the site

by 9:00am on Christmas Day.

What am I supposed to
publish now?

I know.

And where did you guys
say you were again?

Indiana.

It's Santa Claus, Indiana
to be specific,

and there's a lovely couple

who's let us stay at their
beautiful historic inn.

It's decorated like
Santa's Village in here.

Because it's Christmas time.

I mean, what is wrong with you?

Would you look at this place?

Okay, wait a second.

Did you just tell me that
your plane landed

in a town called Santa Claus
one week before Christmas?

Yeah.

Why do you make this
sound like it's a good thing?

Because it is a good thing!

You guys, you need to stay!

There's a story there,
I can feel it.

Simone, okay.

I have spent weeks
organizing my research.

Will you please be quiet,
both of you, and figure it out?

Or find another job.

Now, I thought I'd taught you

that the heart of being
a good journalist

is finding the extraordinary
in the ordinary.

So, find it!

Wait! Simone!
Simone!

Guys, uh, guys?

Merry Christmas.
Wait!

All right? Bye.

Oh, gosh. They get on my nerves.

Don't you just love
decorating the Christmas tree?

Yes.

It brings people together
in such a special way.

How about you, Kevin?

Did your family decorate
the Christmas tree together

when you were a kid?

Uh, my dad would take us
Christmas camping.

Christmas camping outside?

No, no, no, no, we, uh...

we'd camp out in the living room
in front of the Christmas tree

after we decorated.

We'd, um, just keep
the tree lights on

and eat Christmas
caramel popcorn

and my dad would read us
Christmas stories

until we fell asleep.

Oh, Kevin,
that sounds beautiful.

You dad sounds amazing.

Yeah. He's the best.

How about you, Jenna?

Oh, uh, yeah, yeah.

We had plenty of great
Christmas traditions.

Um, my mom used to make
this peppermint hot chocolate

that all the neighbourhood kids
went crazy for.

And we made homemade
marshmallows.

And, uh, on Christmas eve

my parents would set our
stockings at the end of the bed,

and then early in the morning
we would wake up and have,

you know, something to open
before...

everybody else.

You okay over there, Jenna,
you look a little frazzled?

Nothing, I'm fine.

Thank you.

Don't tell me
you're reading about this place

when you could be outside
experiencing it.

Yes, I think it's important
to know the history.

What did you find outside?

I found a great coffee spot.

They roast their beans in house.

Came across a couple local kids
tobogganing.

Took their saucer down a hill,
it was electrifying.

Sounds terrifying.

You never tobogganed as a kid?

No, never.

So, what are you, uh,
what did you find in your book?

I'm not going to tell you.
Go do your own research.

What do you think this is, huh?

I think that's coffee.

Show me your research.

Let's see it.

It's all up here.

I can't believe
you're my competition.

Come on, no, no. Tell me.

Tell me one fact
you learned in your book.

No.

Pretty please.

Okay.

The legend is two centuries ago

old Saint Nick crashed his
sleigh here one Christmas Eve

after delivering Christmas
presents but he liked it so much

he decided to stay
and make it his home.

The North Pole was
too conspicuous?

Apparently it's tradition now to
look up in the sky at midnight

on Christmas Eve
and see a golden streak.

A golden streak?

Yes, it's a dash of
the Christmas spirit

marking the end of Christmas Eve

and the beginning of
Christmas Day.

Oh, and, um, only those who
believe will be able to see it.

Hm.

Sounds like you're wasting
your time.

It's magical, right?

You know Santa Claus
isn't real, right?

Yes!

You just asked me
what I was reading.

Because I wanted facts.

I didn't want some
ridiculous fairy-tale.

Well, I happen to think
this is interesting.

Forget it. Jeez.

All right.
Yeah.

Hey!

Sharing is caring.

What, did your father not
teach you any manners as a kid?

My father taught me everything.

Well, he skipped over
common decency.

You're just upset

because you know that I'm going
to find a better story here

and you're going to start
the new year off unemployed.

You've got some nerve, pal.

Pal?
Yes!

And you know what else?

You're really lucky you don't
believe in Santa Claus

because you would be getting
coal for being this irritating.

Irritating?

Carol, tell me about living in
Santa Claus, Indiana.

What's your favourite part about
being here during the holidays?

Are there any traditions
everyone participates in?

Certainly our Christmas Eve
festival here at the Inn.

We all gather here, sing carols,

and we dance and we eat
the most delicious treats.

That sounds fantastic.

It's enchanting.

I'm going to miss it next year.

I'm so sorry they're
closing this place down.

It would sure take a Christmas
miracle to save it now.

Carol.

That's it.

What's what, dear?

I'm going to write my article
on saving your inn.

It's going to be a story of
hope and redemption

and Christmas spirit and
everything Simone wants.

Oh, you're very sweet, but it'll
be hard to find any proof.

No, no, no. I'm a journalist.

And I'm a good one.

Research is what I do.

I just wouldn't want you to
get your hopes up, Jenna.

No.

Anything is possible
at Christmas!

Right.

Let's do this.

Cheers.
Cheers.

Good morning.
Here they are.

Thank you.

It's a big one.

Merry Christmas.

Is all this mail for you, Chris?

We're the only town in the world

whose post office
bears the name Santa Claus,

so the town gets thousands of
letters every Christmas

from kids asking for things.

No one else in town knew
what to do with all that mail

so I volunteered.

Here, read one.

"Dear Santa, it's me Oscar."

Oscar. Heh.

"This year I'd really like a
megastar scooter in blue.

"I promise I'll share it
with my brother Coby

"even though he never
shares his candy with me."

Coby.

Yeah.

Do you, uh...

Do you ever respond
to any of these?

Every signal one

Well.

I remember once upon a time
believing in Santa Claus.

What happened?

I grew up.

Somewhere along the way

I stopped celebrating Christmas
altogether.

That's a real shame.

You know, Christmas is meant to
be spent with loved ones.

Even for those who have
lost their Christmas spirit.

Yeah, well.

I'll do that in the new year.

This Christmas is all about
keeping my job.

Oh, I'm just trying to
make conversation.

Fine. I was thinking of

hidden Christmas getaway the
whole family will treasure.

Hidden?

The town's called Santa Claus.

All right.
Well, it's a working title.

What do you have?

I'm not going to tell you.

You're ridiculous.

I'm going to go meet Santa.

Adorable.

This is great.

Of course he's the town Santa.

Are you sure you don't
want to visit Santa

One second, all right?

Hey, buddy.

What's going on?

Um, he can't hear you.
I'm sorry.

Thank you so much.

You know sign language?

A little.

I told him
I personally knew Santa

Video game.

You seem like you have

Why don't you want to
spend Christmas with them?

It's a big piece, it could
really push my career forward.

You know that.

Is that the only reason?

There's that and...

Also I try to avoid Christmas
at all costs.

Oh.

Thanks.

Yeah.

How about you?

Aren't you missing your family
at Christmas?

No, um...

To be honest, Christmas was
never really much of a big deal.

Why?

What about...

The peppermint hot chocolate
and the marshmallows

and the stockings?

Right.

Um...

I was put up for adoption
when I was a baby

and I was never adopted.

So, I never did get to
spend a real Christmas

with a real family.

I just usually watched
cheesy Christmas movies

in whatever agency
I was in that year.

And I always wanted to
wake up on Christmas morning

with stocking and a family
that really loved me but...

You know, being here is
the closest I've come

to having a real Christmas
with a real family.

I thought I was going to get one
with Andrew's family this year

but that didn't pan out.

Andrew?

Yeah, uh, my ex.

We broke up,
well he broke up with me.

He felt like he couldn't follow
through with our five year plan.

Five year plan?

Yes, I know. I know.

It sounds... high maintenance.

But it made sense, you know?

It seemed like it was a really
reasonable thing for us to do.

We were right on paper and
we should map out our future

and take a look, make sure
we're on the same page,

make sure there's no surprises.

Surprise, we broke up.

Can you really plan out
your future?

I thought we could.

Everything seemed like
it was right on schedule.

We were supposed to get engaged
in three months.

I had a ring picked out.

Wow.

You miss him?

Um...

Sometimes.

Honestly,

since we've been here I haven't
thought of him too much.

It's been kind of refreshing.

So...

Maybe I just missed
the idea of him.

I just...

I don't think you should have to
try so hard to fall in love,

I think it should be
exciting and impulsive.

And unpredictable.

That sounds awful.

Have you ever been in love?

Um.

Does Kelly Kapowski count?

No.

Look, I could jump out of
a plane at 12,000 feet.

But falling in love, like,
really, really falling in love...

Scares the hell out of me.

Finally something
we have in common.

Well, thank you.

I should be, uh, getting to bed.

I have a lot of research to do
in the morning.

Yep.

Goodnight.

Night.

Hey, wait.

Uh, you want to
get some fresh air?

It's two o'clock in the morning.

So, what else are you afraid of?

You mean besides being
stuck in Indiana with you?

I... I write about what I'm
afraid of to get over my fears.

Like what? Like, what's the
scariest thing you've ever done?

By far, swimming with Great
White Sharks in New Zealand.

Oh, yeah. I remember that
article. It was so great.

My heart was racing so fast
I could hardly finish it.

How about your article about
saving the Great Barrier Reef?

That was amazing.

You read one of my articles?

Well, yeah, I've read them all.

You're an amazing writer.

Really?

You think so?

Why do you think
I've been such a baby

about being paired up with you
as my competition?

Wow, that's really funny
how things turn out.

What do you mean?

We've worked together in the
same office for all these years

and only had
a real conversation now.

I always thought
you didn't know who I was.

I felt really invisible
in that office sometimes.

You felt invisible?

I noticed you the first day
you walked into that office.

If anything, I thought
you were ignoring me.

Well.

There's one thing
I can say about you, Kevin,

it's that you're
impossible to ignore.

That's true.

Do you guys remember ever seeing
a certificate from the 1930s?

It really would be the golden
ticket to saving this inn.

It's an historical
legal document

the developers could not
argue against.

You have any idea
where it could be?

Oh, that.

Last time I saw that, Theodore
Roosevelt was president.

I'm on a really tight deadline.

I was doing some research
and, well,

it's a certificate that I need

in order to write my piece
about saving the inn.

It's exactly the kind of story
our readers need right now.

It would fill them with hope

and belief in
the magic of the season.

It's the perfect
Christmas story.

Good morning, everyone.

What's on the agenda today, son?

You know somewhere
we can rent a car?

Rent a car?
Where are you going?

Is this for research?

'Cause you know Simone wants us
to stay here and write.

You know,

you might want to come with me.

Why?

It's a secret.

Well, I can't.

I really need to continue
researching and finish writing.

We only have three days left.
