- We got a tree, Cheyenne! We got a tree!
- Oh!

Okay, Van, bring it on in.

Um, it's too big, Mrs. H.
I'm just gonna get a smaller one.

Van. Oh!

Oh, hey!

I gotta remember that
when my aunt comes.

She is a big gal.

- Uh-huh.
- Oh, thank you very much, Van.

Thanks doesn't pay
the bills, Mrs. H.

Neither do you.

I love the smell of Christmas,
and this is gonna be a great one.

Oh, how can it not be,
with such a gorgeous tree?

Hey,Jake, you excited?
Santa's coming.

I'm gettin' a bike!

Now,Jake, you know
that's up to Santa...

and whether he thinks
you've been naughty or nice.

You're very pretty.

Save it for Santa Claus.

Oh, this is so special.
It's our first Christmas with Elizabeth.

Oh, I remember our first Christmas
with you, Cheyenne.

You're the reason we started
all our Christmas traditions.

Ooh, another
"Cheyenne is great'' story.

My favorite is how she makes the sun
come up in the morning.

Kyra's right, Mom.
You should tell a nice story about her.

Oh, right.
[ Laughs ]

One of the hardest things
I ever did was to tell my mama...

we weren't going to her house
for Christmas.

But waking up
and sharing the moment together...

it really felt right.

You were the start
of our little family.

Cheyenne is great, everybody!
What an unexpected twist.

[ Reba ]
Ha, hey.!

?? [ Singing ]

?? [ Ends ]

Oh, don't, don't look.
Don't look.

- What? What is it? Is it for me?
- No.

Well, then why would I care?

Well, I wanted it to be
a surprise, but look...

for Elizabeth's first Christmas.

Oh, Mom, this is so awesome.

Look, Van,
a teeny bootie ornament.

I don't wanna ruin it for anyone,
but, uh, Elizabeth has two feet.

I am so looking forward
to this Christmas Eve.

There is just something so special
about having a baby in the house.

- [ Chuckles ]
- [ Chuckles ]

Or it's special just having
baby's things in the house.

What are you talking about?

Um, we wanna go away
for Christmas Eve.

Which Christmas Eve?

'Cause it's sure
not gonna be this one.

But, Mom, all that stuff you said...

about what that first Christmas
meant to you was so moving.

We want that feeling too.

Yeah, Mrs. H, you inspired us.

And that's not easy.

I mean, we're very unmotivated.

- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah, well-

Oh, you know what?

We did go to my parents' house.
I forgot.

Look, Mom, Van's cousin offered us
his cabin in Lake Conroe.

It's in the middle of the woods,
and there's deer and a big fireplace.

Yeah, that's real Christmasy.

- Mom, please?
- Please?

But what about all our traditions?

I mean, if you go, who's gonna
help me decorate the tree...

and- and bake cookies
and sing Christmas carols?

Well, you'll still have
Kyra and Jake.

Yeah, Kyra and Jake.

Honey, I love your brother,
but have you ever heard him sing?

Okay, Mom, all right.
We'll stay here.

- Okay.
- One big family.

Some of us against our will.

Yeah, nothing says Christmas
like a hostage situation.

[ Sighs ]

- Oh, all right.
- [ Squeals ]

If what I said
affected you guys that much...

then go ahead
and start your own special...

Christmas memories.

- Ah!
- Oh, thank you, Mommy.

Selfish brat.

Happy ho ho
and a merry jingle jingle.

Whoopsie, whoopsie,
I forgot to lock the door door.

Hey, Reba, we got
a little issue here.

Jake wants to stay over
at our house on Christmas Eve.

I want him to read me The Night Before Christmas
like he always does.

You know, I told him I'd still do it.
I'd just do it over the telephone.

Yeah, or we could just write him
a nice letter. Merry Christmas.

[ Chuckling ]
These are good.

That's not the same.

And I wanna read
the story to Henry too.

But,Jake,
we had plans, honey.

What about all the stuff
we were gonna do?

I'll sing carols with you
before I go.

Well, th-that's good, Son. And then
you won't have to sing over at our house.

Okay, well, what do you say me and your dad
talk about it. We'll see what we can work out.

[ Chuckles ]
So, can he?

Of course not.
We'll just pretend we're talking...

- and then you go in and tell him no.
- Well, why not?

[ Scoffs ] You know
how important this is to me.

Besides, you got the kids
last year.

We went to Hawaii
last year, remember?

To make things easier for everyone.

Not the Hawaiians.

Barbra Jean, help me out here.

Oh, yeah, Barbra Jean.
Tell me what you think.

Well, I-

I think the only reason I'm still here
is you're blocking my way to the living room.

Thank you.

Look, Brock, I've already lost
Cheyenne, Van and Elizabeth.

Yeah, and I feel bad about that,
but come on, Reba...

fair is fair-
they're my kids too.

Yeah, I wish I could have
done that on my own.

Well, haveJake back as early as you can.
I'm giving him a bike.

Oh, no, you can't.

Why?

Well, see, I was in the mall the other
day, and I saw this really cool bike.

And, well, I-I bought it for him.

- Come on, Barbra Jean, honey, we should go.
- Oh,just hold on a minute.

Oh, look, you know.
When we got divorced...

we never discussed
who got what tradition.

I just sort of figured
that the bike one was mine.

Oh, well, here's my favorite tradition.
You're wrong.

Come on.
I already bought him the bike.

And besides, I'm the one who bought Cheyenne
a Christmas bike when she was eight.

I made a tradition when I went out
and bought Kyra's bike when she was eight.

Mine had a bow on it.
I win.

Reba, the first thing Jake should see
Christmas morning is that bike.

Do you really wanna
take that away from him?

Kind of.

- Okay, fine.
- Thanks, Reba. I'm gonna go tell him.

Why don't you just torch
the tree on your way out?

- I'm all ready.
- Oh, there's my big boy.

His first Christmas Eve
away from his mama.

Now remember, if you sing really, really loud,
I'll be able to hear you over here.

- I'll try. I love you.
- I love you too, baby. Have fun.

[ Off-key ]
?Joy to the world ?

? The Lord is come ?

Enjoy your Christmas, Brock.

- [ Door Closes ]
- Well, it's just me and you, kiddo.

So what should we do first?
Go make some hot apple cider...

or go upstairs and put on our elf pajamas
and decorate the tree?

Come on, Mom.
The two of us sitting here...

forcing some holiday traditions
that don't exist anymore?

- It sounds kind of pathetic.
- Pathetic or super-duper fun?

The thing is Kendall's family has
this huge Christmas Eve open house every year.

- [ Phone Rings ]
- Hang on a sec.

Hello? No, have your mom
drive around the block.

She hasn't said yes yet.

- Please?
- Go.

Pull around.

- Mom, you are the best.
- Mm, save it for Santa.

- I won't be late.
- Yeah. All right.

- Merry Christmas.
- Yeah, Merry Christmas.

So I suppose you want to
go back to the forest now, huh?

Oh, excuse me. Do you know
who I talk to about donating some food?

- Well, I'll take it.
- Oh, are you in charge here?

- No, I'm hungry.
- Oh.

Well, those are homemade cookies.

I make 'em every year
when my family decorates our tree.

I also wear these cute little elf pajamas,
but I didn't wanna start a ruckus. [ Laughs ]

Yeah, thanks for that.

Anyhow, my family's off doing
other stuff, so here I am, helping out.

Sharing the Christmas cheer.
Go on. Have another one.

- No.
- Oh, yeah, there's plenty. Go ahead.

I don't doubt it.
They're lousy.

How about you? You want some gravy
for your mashed potatoes?

- You make it?
- Yes, sir.

Pass.

You know what?
You're wrecking this for me.

Here I am supposed to be
feeling good about all this...

and all I feel like doing
is pouring this gravy in your lap.

Oh, hey there, Sister.

Hey, I'm just giving him some gravy.
There you go.

What's your problem?

My problem is I'm here on Christmas Eve
instead of being with my family.

Oh, well, hey,
I've got the same problem.

If you don't mind me asking,
how come you're not with your family?

I gotta work.
It's the busiest night of the year for Santa.

Oh, right, you're Santa.
[ Chuckles ]

I should have known that
since I'm the tooth fairy.

I really am Santa.

Today, I was at
Ryan's department store.

- Well, that must be fun.
- It's four bucks an hour, lady.

Yeah, it's great.
Where's your family?

[ Laughs ]
Well, they're off having a great time.

My oldest daughter
is going to Lake Conroe.

And then my other daughter's
at a party.

And my baby boy,
he's with his dad.

Hey, hey, it's all right.

Uh, look, I'm eating your gravy.

Mmm! Ooh!

And they're gonna give him the bike.

Could be worse.
They could be giving him a pony.

I know, I feel stupid.
Here I am feeling sorry for myself...

and all these people here
have a lot bigger problems than I do.

Yeah, that's why I come down here,
to feel better about myself.

I used to hang around
with a disfigured guy...

so I wouldn't feel bad
about the extra weight I put on.

That's not what I meant.

I know what you meant.

Look, there's always someone
suffering worse than you.

It doesn't mean that
your pain doesn't count.

Just when I thought divorce couldn't
hurt me any more, I lose something else.

Christmas Eve used to be so special.

Well, it's been nice
talking to you, but-

I think you'd better get going.

I hear we're gonna get
an ice storm later.

Oh, okay.
You have to go anywhere?

Yeah. Every freakin' house
in the whole world.

Be safe.
Merry Christmas.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Reba.

Hey, how did you know my name?

- I know everybody's name.
- Oh, yeah, you're Santa.

Don't walk out of here tonight
feeling sorry for yourself.

If you do, you're stealing Christmas
from every person...

who, for whatever reason,
isn't with their family tonight.

If your traditions meant anything...

your family's still together
in your heart.

Go home. Decorate your tree.
End of speech.

- Thought you didn't like those?
- I don't.

By the time we get toJapan,
you'd be surprised what a reindeer will eat.

[ Van ] Okay, so how does
this tradition thing work?

Well, what were some of your favorite
holiday traditions growing up?

Uh, Dad would golf,
Mom would drink, and I'd play with my toys.

Hey, at my house,
we would always hang stockings.

And that would be the first thing
that we'd open. We should do that.

- Great.
- Did you bring the stockings?

- No. Didn't you?
- No.

Well, I have socks and huge feet.

- Let's just forget about the whole stocking thing.
- Okay.

What should we make
for Christmas dinner?

- Oh.
- Mom always makes roast beef.

Perfect. But do you think
we'll have enough time to cook it?

I don't know. I don't even know
if we have a frying pan.

Well, why don't we have
roast beef here?

- Great idea.
- Perfect.

All right.

Hmm.

Dang, they don't have
any roast beef.

What kind of roadside
pancake house is this?

[ Thunder ]

[ Thunder ]

Hello, Deborah?
Yeah, it's Reba.

Yeah, I was just calling to say
because of the weather and all...

maybe it'd be a good idea for Kyra
to spend the night over there tonight.

Never mind, Deborah.
She's back. Thanks a bunch.

- Hey, Mom.
- Kyra, why did you come home?

Not that I'm complaining, mind you,
but it's terrible out there.

It wasn't the greatest Christmas party.
Did you know they'reJewish?

No, they're not.

I know. I just couldn't get the picture
of you all alone out of my head.

So, you wanna sing
Christmas carols?

- Mom, don't push it.
- Okay, great.

I guess we can spend the time
discussing your personal life.

?Jingle bells,jingle bells
Jingle all the way?

- Oh,you're back.
- Yes.

And you're soaked.
Let me take Elizabeth. Come here, darling.

- Thank you.
- Here you go.

Wow, I didn't expect you guys back
until tomorrow. What happened?

Well, we just thought it was
kind of stupid to start new traditions...

when we have
such great old ones.

Plus, uh, we forgot our stockings.

Well, I'm just glad you're back.

Why don't you go on in
and join in on the fun.

- [ Door Opens ]
- I'm back!

Whoo-hoo,Jake! Oh, this is
the best Christmas present I've ever had.

He's worried that Santa
wouldn't know where to find him...

so he wants to leave
a note on his bed.

I told him we could
just call Santa...

but somebody told him
Santa doesn't have a phone.

Well, he doesn't.

I mean, that's just silly.

Merry Christmas, Daddy.
Hey, Barbra Jean.

Merry Christmas, angel.

You know, it was really rough
driving over here.

I'll tell you what.
If this storm doesn't break...

we may have to stay
over here tonight.

That'd be great.

I could borrow
one of Reba's nighties.

Oh, the storm will break.

If there's a God in heaven,
it'll break.

Hey, Dad, since you're here,
you get to do the lights like always.

- What can I do?
- Well, you can stand out on the front porch...

and monitor the weather.

- Okay.
- Barbra Jean.

You can do the tinsel.

- [ Gasps ]
- One strand at a time.

You know what me and my sister would do
when we would decorate the tree?

- What?
- Tinsel fight!

[ Screams ]
Come on, Reba!

Make it hard for me.
Bob and weave.

- Bob and weave.
- Barbra Jean? Barbra Jean, honey, honey?

[ Chuckles ]
Maybe you oughta just focus on the tree.

- Okay.
- Okay.

- [ Quiet Scream ]
- [ Laughs ]

All your kids are home for Christmas.
Looks like you got your wish.

Yeah.

- Well, almost.
- [ Laughs ]

[ Thunder ]

Brock? What are you doing,
havin' a s�ance in here?

No, I was gonna make a bologna sandwich.
I wanted to set the mood.

- The power's out.
- Yeah.

- [ Thunderclap ]
- Ooh, it's really howling out there.

- Hey, Reba?
- Yeah.

It was always a nice tradition,
Christmas Eve.

Yeah, it was.

You know, I was just sitting here
thinking about all the Christmas Eves...

back when the kids were little.

Us up late,
putting stuff together.

Okay, you putting stuff together.

Me, buzzed on eggnog,
playing with the toys.

You think they remember it?

I mean, do you think
they remember it as good?

Yeah, I really do.

- Power's back.
- Yeah.

[ Reba ]
Whoa.!

You got him the bike, and then brought it
over here in this storm?

That was so sweet.

Oh, come on. I didn't bring the bike
over here. You went out and bought it.

I didn't buy him a bike,
you butt.

- And thank you.
- Well, you're welcome.

But I know you did it,
you double butt.

[ Chuckles ]

Yeah, have it your way.

I better get some rest.

In three short hours,
I have to pretend to like Barbra Jean.

- Merry Christmas, Brock.
- Merry Christmas, Reba.

Acme.!
[ Coughing ]
