Got a feeling
that Christmas day is near

and the spirit
of Santa claus is here

such a wonderful time

when the snow is in town

it's a hell of a thrill

when the sleigh bells sound

what a wonderful time

betcha more than a dime

the city bell's gonna chime

Christmas star's gonna shine

and old folks singing in rhyme

merry Christmas

Todd: Hey,
love, just a quick message to say hi.

I'm sure you're getting
excited for Christmas, yeah?

You better talk
to your mom, yeah?

Yeah, she knows the plans.

Coming! Look,
I gotta go, Gloria.

I'll see you when this bloody
tour's over, darling. Bye.

Hey, dad, just saying hi.

Again.

Can't wait to see you. Bye.

Claire: Gloria!

You okay, honey?
You're really quiet tonight.

Gloria?

I'm sorry. I've been sending
dad voice messages.

He hasn't gotten back to me.

His last one was, like,
two weeks ago.

Well, you know what he's like
when he's on tour, honey, come on.

Eat.

Yeah, but he's always on tour.

At least this one's
over by Christmas.

What, mom?

Well, your dad, he might stay in
Germany for a while after his tour is over.

Gloria: But he said he'd come
back to London...

And that we would
have a proper Christmas.

Claire: I said he might,
Gloria, okay?

Your dad, he... ow! He might
stay in Germany for a while.

He didn't say.

Of course he didn't say.
Do you guys even talk anymore?

Of course we talk.
We talk all the time.

There is nothing to worry
about. We're working it out.

We are.

Hey, you barely ate anything.
Come on. I'm not hungry, mom.

The problem is down there.
Not up here.

Woman: But this is the wire.

I've checked every single light.

Woman: No, no, no. I have!

Woman: Now you stay up there
and you recheck those lights.

Man: Recheck the lights?

Woman: Yeah. Man: No way.

You watch where
you're going, idiot!

Man: Why am I always
the one up here anyway?

Woman: Come on!
Where's your Christmas spirit?

Man: My Christmas spirit is at
home where I'm not being yelled at.

Man: Wally? What's he doing
here?

And this.

Iffy: Now, now, stu,
don't go dying on us.

You know better than to tell
mejokes while I'm sipping coffee.

This wiring is almost
as old as you, st...

Iffy: Whoa! Look who's here!

Stu: Turn the
Christmas music off.

Long time, no see, bud.

Stu: Hey, bud.

Wally: What? What you
looking at, old man?

I got as much right to
be here as anybody else.

Sally, show him the sign.

That's for you, specifically.

I'm sorry, Mr. Mcshane.
He just started...

Sally, it's fine. Just
ring it up. I will pay.

All right. Hey, that is assault!

You all saw that!
That is statutory assault!

Get outta here, Finn Wally.

You'll regret this, mcshane!

You'll regret this!

Iffy: Way to go, bud.

The store's closing
December 25th?

Forgood?

You know about this, Sally? No.

How about you, tevin?

Explain yourself, old man.

Store's been losing
money for years.

It's time to close it down.

You can't do this.

Betty and bud's is an
institution in this town,

the heart of the community.

In case you haven't noticed,

Betty hasn't been around
for a couple of years.

Iffy: Yeah, I know that, bud. But
there must be something we can do...

There isn't.

Looks like you're gonna have to get
your free coffee some place else, iffy.

Sally, tevin, I'll be in
between now and Christmas.

Help you close the thing down.

Man: They're still not
working. I keep telling you.

Woman: What are you saying?

Man: What I'm saying is
there are too many lights.

That's the problem.

Same problem last year.
Bunch of clowns.

Man: We need to take
half of these down.

Well, bet...

It's done.

Bud: Where did he come from?

Damn heater.

Who put up the reindeer display?

Where'd you go?

Claire: I am sorry I am late,
honey. It has been a crazy day.

What happened this time?

So I finished my project
for work, which is great.

That means we'll have
some money this Christmas.

So we're no longer
on a limited budget.

Oh, no, we're still on it.

But at least now we have
a little bit of wiggle room.

But then I got
a call from back home.

Your grandad had an accident.

He's in the hospital,
but he's gonna be okay.

Okay, well, that's good.
You know what's even better?

We're going to the
us. Ofa. For Christmas.

I can't believe you, Gloria.

We're spending the holidays
with your American family,

and you're acting like I
grounded you for Christmas break.

I'm sorry, but I'm not chuffed
about spending time

with people I don't
even remember.

Apart from grandad.
I remember him.

He was scary.
I don't think he likes me.

Of course he likes you. He can
just be kind of grumpy sometimes.

Well, what if dad turns up
whilst we're in america?

He won't. He's not coming
back to London for Christmas.

You said might. Claire:
Well, he's not, okay. It's definite.

He's spending more time
in Germany.

Butwhy didn't he tell me?

Because he doesn't like to be
the bearer of bad news.

That always falls on me.

You could finish these
and send them to him though.

I don't even know why I
made those stupid drawings.

It's not like I believe
in Santa anymore.

Oh, honey, come here, come here.

It looks a lot
like Christmas to me

What? I'm making a video of
our trip. Iwanna send it to dad.

Oh, that is a great idea, honey.

Make sure you're getting
your grandad's shop.

I used to spend
so much time there.

And that is where my first
boyfriend, Danny baker, asked me out.

You can get back to me on that.

It looks a lot like Christmas
from here

maybe just because
I have you near

and, oh, there's not
a spot of snow

not a drop of Holly or mistletoe

there's a kind of magic
I can clearly see

and it looks a lot
like Christmas to me

Claire. Oh, it's been
so long. You look terrific.

Hey, Erica. So do you.

And who's this?

I don't recognize you, Gloria.
You've grown so much.

Your cousins were so excited
when they heard you were coming.

They should be home any minute.

Where do I put this?
Upstairs, honey.

She is so... cute.

Bud: Bet?

Claire: So, how's dad?

A holy terror.

He's been sleeping a lot since
he got back from the hospital.

I have been trying to get him to
eat something, but he just yells at me.

That sounds like dad.

You would not believe the state
of this house when we got here.

Itwas... We had to go nuclear.

Tyler: Aunt Claire.

Hi! Oh, my, you got so big,
look at you.

Hello, Claire. Hey.

Hi, Gerry.

Nice move.

Oh, don't you start.

Just 'cause dad mumbled something
about a reindeer causing his accident,

I'm not going to apologize
for putting up that display.

Claire: Gloria, come and say hi.

Hey, Gloria.

How's jolly old england, Gloria?

Come on, jump in. Be quick.

It's cold. Claire: I know.

There you go.

Oh, yeah, grandad called me
bet when iwent into his room earlier.

What were you doing
in grandad's room?

Well, I didn't know
which room was which.

But why would grandad
call me grandma?

I just don't think he's feeling
himself right now, honey.

Is that why there's no
Christmas decorations?

No. That's because my mom
always did the decorations,

and since she's been gone, I don't
think he's been feeling very christmassy.

That's sad. Claire: Yeah.

Wait, though.
I think I have... I remember.

Gloria: Okay. Why is it
so cold in here?

Because dad likes it cold,
especially at nighttimes.

We used to call this place
the igloo growing up.

Gloria: I see why you call it
the igloo. I feel like an ice block.

Here you go.

Hmm.

I love you, honey.

I love you more.
Not possible. Good night

it is possible. Good night.

Good night.

Gerald: We need to talk,
about dad...

Claire: Do this
in the morning, Gerry?

Gerald: Look, he's not well.

Claire: There's nothing
wrong with him.

Gerald: How would you know? You're
never here. Claire: Oh. Okay. This again.

Gerald: Do you know
how difficult it is...

Claire:
This is his home, Gerald.

He needs to stay in his home.

Gerald: All right. Well,
so are you going to be here?

It's true and you know it,
Claire.

You've been home, what?
Twice in ten years?

You moved to england. You
wiped your hands of this family.

Gerald, come on. That's
enough. Claire just got here.

All I said was, I think it's time that
dad moved to the retirement village

and she jumps all over me.

Like she's worried
about dad all of a sudden.

Of course I'm worried about
dad. That is really offensive.

We've been here, Claire. Come
in from California every year.

We've seen how dad's slipped.

He lives in squalor. He
forgets to take his medication.

So your first thought was to
send him off to a retirement village?

He would hate that.

Gerald: Did Erica tell you
about all the unpaid bills

we found when we got here?

They were going to turn off
the gas, the electricity.

Imagine if we hadn't
been here to sort that out.

Dad would have frozen to death.
I'm telling you, he's not all there.

Look, let's just see how
the week goes with dad.

Before we leave
if we think it's necessary,

we can discuss getting
some kind of help for him.

See? I like Erica's plan
way better.

Fine. But ifone more thing
happens with dad, just one,

he's off to the retirement
home. End of discussion.

Claire:
That's the spirit, Gerry.

Mom?

Who are you?

Oh, I'm Gloria.

Did you hear something
on the roof?

What are you doing here?

Reindeer don't live around here.

I ran off the road
because of you.

I got a concussion, you know.

Feels like there's a
jackhammer inside my head.

Bud: Do you understand what I'm
saying? Because I'm talking to you.

And I assume that you do
because you do these other things.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

What's that deer doing?

She's talking back to me.

Was that a reindeer?

Was that a reindeer? Do you
own it? Wait, what was its name?

What you mean by,
"it was talking to you"?

Like, what you mean by
"ran you off the road"?

Who are you again?

Gloria, your granddaughter.

Ah. Right. It's the accent's
throwing me off.

You were a lot smaller
when I saw you last.

Duh. Because I was like four.

Don't go telling anyone about
that deer. You understand?

Okay, okay. Jeez. I won't tell
anyone about the deer. I promise.

Jingle bells, jingle bells
jingle all the way

oh, what fun it is to ride
in a one horse open sleigh

hey! Jingle bells, jingle bells

jingle all the way

oh, what fun it is to ride
in a one horse open sleigh

ah. Dad, you're up.
That's fairly obvious, isn't it?

Come on, Tyler. That's too much.

Yeah, I'll take one.

You want something to eat?

I'm sitting at the dining
room table, Gerald,

a table covered
with plates of food.

Yes, I would like
something to eat.

Okay.

Have you said hi to your
daughter, Claire,

who came all the way
from London to see you?

Hi, dad. Bud: Hello, Claire.

Claire: You remember Gloria?

Yeah, we bumped
into each other last night.

Claire: You did? When?

Oh. We heard a bang on the
roof. Ltwas nothing. Don't worry.

Um, nobody else heard it?

Maybe it was krampus.

Here we go. Haley's
favorite Christmas movie.

Vveh, because if it was him,

some of us aren't getting
out of here alive.

I think that's enough
about krampus, Haley.

Gerald: Erica, I think
the eggs are burning.

Hey, where's all my stuff at?

You mean the mess in the
living room and the kitchen?

I had a system.

But, dad, I think the most important
thing is, how are you feeling?

Fine.

Um, no, I'm sorry.
I got to take this.

So, dad, we're heading into town for
some last-minute Christmas shopping.

Claire said she'd
look after you.

That's not necessary.
I'm not an invalid.

Actually, dad, you kind of are.
You just got out of the hospital.

So, Gloria can stay.

Gloria's ten. You need
an adult with you.

I'm just going to sit here
and watch TV. What's to do?

Well, if that's all he does,
then I'm fine with staying.

There you go. Mm.

That's okay, dad. I'll
take care of it. No, I'll do it.

I can do it.

Erica, please. Leave it be! Dad.

Uh, keys. Car keys. Where's
the keys? Erica: On the counter.

Gerald: Thanks.

Hey.

You sure you're okay with
staying here with grandad?

Yeah.

I mean, you remember what
I said. He's not...

He's not quite himself right
now. You understand that, right?

Yeah, I know. It'll
be all right. I promise.

Okay, but you call me
if you need anything.

Yes yes?

Yes yes?

Yes okay.Hoveyou.

I love you too. Bye.

Gerald: Whose is this?
That's mine.

Give it to me.

Um, where do you think you're
going? None of your beeswax.

You stay here in the nice,
warm house.

This is your idea of warm?

Smart-ass. I got a smart-ass
for a granddaughter.

You stay.

What am I to you? A dog?
Woof, woof, bark, bark.

Are we actually leaving?
Hold on!

I thought I told you
to stay at the house.

Gloria: Well, I didn't want
to stay at the house.

Bud: You're like
a gnat. Just keep buzzing around.

Gloria: What's wrong with you?
Why are you acting like this?

Idonthke people who hover.

I thought you'd be less of a
nuisance than your mother.

But now I'm starting
to rethink that one.

Well, I'm rethinking
agreeing to stay with you.

I'd rather have been
alone this Christmas.

Well, I'd rather be
back in england.

Well, good. Now that
we've straightened that out.

Reindeer tracks.

Gloria: Why are you so excited
about the reindeer anyways?

Because he's an anomaly.

What's that mean?

Bud: That means reindeer don't
live anywhere around these parts.

Don't live anywhere in the
entire United States for that matter.

So then why...
Why is this one here?

Yeah. That's what
I mean to find out.

Look at that.

He circled right back
around to my place.

I'll be danged.

Hey, where are you going?

Bud: There he is.
What's he looking for?

- Are you getting this?
- Gloria: Yeah.

Where's he going now?

He's heading
towards my workshop.

Wait.

Grandad, I don't think
we should go in here.

How old are you anyway?

Seven, eight? I'm ten!

Yeah, well, I've got over
seven decades on you,

which means that I get to tell
you what to do, not vice versa.

Grandad, don't. You don't
know where that deer's been.

Bud: That guy's
looking for food.

Grab that bucket
and go get some chestnuts.

Are you sure you're gonna
be okay in here with him?

Questions, questions,
always questions.

Now get, before
I lose my temper.

Hey, look what I...

Grandad, guess what?

I found this in the snow where
that guy was snooping around.

Bud: Did you want me
to see that?

Okay.

All right. Here we go.
Now stay away from me, please?

Bud: It's not here.

Gerald must have thrown away
the rest of the broken parts.

Come on, let's go.

Vvhere? Youwlsee.

But, look, what about him?

Bud: Don't worry about him.
He'll be fine.

Gloria: I can't believe
you brought me here, grandad.

Let's just go, okay?

It really stinks out here.

Of course it stinks.
It's a dump.

Are you gonna help?

It'll go a lot faster if you do.

Come on, get your hands dirty.

First of all, ew.

And second of all, why can't
you just make a new reindeer?

Yes! Found the ass-end.

Look what else I found.

What is it?

It's a sign from the
store right next to me.

Stacey's antiques.

She went under
about six months ago.

Wait. Hold on. She died?

No, no, her store did.

Guess my sign will be
out here, too, pretty soon.

Wait. Hold on. Hold on.

Attagirl, Gloria.

We'll be out of here in no time.

Good, because it's
really grotty down here.

"Grotty"? What is that? Some
kind of English swear word?

Oh, yeah,
grandad. One of the worst.

Oh. Oh.

Hey, get outta here!

Gloria: Jeez!

Well, you scared prancer off.

Oh. So he's prancer now, is he?

Do you think he's coming back?

I don't know.

Hey, um...

Gloria.

Yeah, you're doing a really
great job there, you know that?

Yeah. You're a good artist,
Gloria. Just like your grandma.

She didn't paint this, did she?

Sure did. I made them.
She painted them.

So now I see why you
dragged me to the dump.

Yep, had to be this deer.

Come on, let's finish this up,

get him back up there
with the rest of them.

What is going on out there?

Hey, dad!

Gerald: What the...

Oh, you've gotta be kidding me.

Gerald: Dad? Bud: Thank you.

Gerald: Dad, what are you doing?

Get down, dad. Come on.

Let me do that. I put
them up in the first place.

Get down from there, dad.
Let me do that.

I'm already up here.

What's with you? Why are
you even trying to fix that blooming thing?

Bet would've wanted me
to fix this guy.

She surely did love
these reindeer.

You knew that, Gerald.

But you still threw it away.

Haley: This morning grandad
was all grumpy ass. Now look at him.

He's acting like a kid.

It's not a bad version of him.

What...

It's on.

Whoa! Okay?

No, no, no.

Gerald: Careful. Okay.

It's okay.

Oh, my god!

Bud: I got it.

There. Okay, hold the ladder.
Gerald: I got you.

Bud: Thanks. Gerald: Careful.

Bud: Yep.

I cannot believe you let your
grandad drive to the garbage dump.

I mean, what were you thinking?

Ow! Mom, that really hurts!

Yeah, well, I'm trying
to get the paint out, okay?

And you smell
really bad, Gloria.

Then maybe I could just sleep on the
sofa like you make dad do sometimes.

Uh, mom, you okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine, honey.
I'm just... I'm really tired.

Jet lagged, you know.

Yeah, mom?

Mm-hmm.

Are you and dad talking about
when he's gonna come back home?

Yeah.

Yeah, we're talking, honey.

We are.

Todd: Hi,
love. Just a quick message to say hi.

I'm sure you're getting
excited for Christmas, yeah?

Uh, you better talk
to your mom. Yeah?

Um, yeah, she knows the plans.

Man: Hey, Todd, mate.
Gotta go! Todd: Coming!

I gotta go, Gloria.

I'll see you when this bloody
tour's over, darling. Bye.

Bud: First time I saw that deer

was in the cemetery
when I was visiting bet.

And then he flew
right over my truck.

That was the cause
of my accident.

He must havejustjumped.

Nope. He never came back down.

I looked through all my windows,
checked out the rearview mirror, nada.

Pass me the turpentine,
will you?

Gloria, what do you think we
heard the other night on the roof?

I don't know. Some sort of
possum. Tree branch.

There was nothing up there on the
roof when I shone my light up there.

So, what? You're saying a
reindeer landed on your roof.

Come on, grandad. I mean...

You think I'm crazy?

Yes! I think
you've lost the plot.

Oh. Oh. No, no, no, no.

I mean, I mean, I just don't
believe in Santa anymore.

So that's why
it doesn't make sense to me.

Um, wait. Why are you
telling me this?

You asked, for one thing.

More important, you and I
are in this together.

It was only the two of us who
heard that noise on the roof.

Yeah, so... about that.

Um, I heard uncle Gerald
talking to my mom.

He thinks you should go live
in a retirement home.

Right. If Gerald finds out
about that deer,

that's grist for his
retirement home push.

No. He won't find out
about the deer.

We're in this together,
just like you said.

This is our secret.

Okay. Our secret.

Gerald: We're back finally.

Forgotten how slippy
those roads get.

Just in time.

We need those sprinkles.

Gerald: Yeah, coming right up.

Hey, Claire. Yeah?

You will never guess who I
just bumped into on main street.

Finn Wally.

Oh, god, what a creep.
Is he still here?

Yeah, well, regardless, he told me
he just recently came into some money.

An inheritance I think.

And he was asking
about the house up here.

He was wondering, you know,
since the hardware store's closing...

Wait. Are you saying Finn
Wally wants to buy this house?

Stop it. Play something else,
will you, Tyler?

It's always scales, scales,
scales. It drives me crazy.

Why don't you go up
to your room, Haley?

Or you can help out here
in the kitchen.

I'm gonna go to my room and
call one of my friends. Mm-hmm.

Haley: Stop it, Tyler!
Tyler: Okay, okay.

Yeah. Well, anyway, uh,

it's the land Finn's after.
It's good hunting land.

He said he'd make
a really good offer.

I can't believe you're
even considering this.

Dad hates that asshole.
You should, too.

Who's this Finn Wally?

He's a hunter. That's what
he does for a living and he...

Trespassed on dad's land.
I mean, this was years ago.

Gerry was what, like ten?

So he went out into the woods.

Finn Wally wanted
to shoot a deer.

He missed
and he almost hit Gerry.

My god. You never told me this.

Because there was nothing
to tell. Iwasn't hurt.

Yeah, but you could have been.

I mean, dad went ballistic
on Wally, okay.

He said, "if I ever find you
here on my land again..."

And now,
Wally wants to buy the land?

It would be wrong if I didn't
pass on the information.

We need to face
facts here, people.

Nothing dad has done this week has
changed my mind about his situation.

We need to have a serious conversation
about what we're gonna do about him.

You all don't want
me driving, so...

Gloria and me are gonna need a
ride to the store tomorrow morning.

I got to take care of some
things before the store closes.

Well, I can help with that, dad.

No, no, no. It's okay.
I got it covered.

Claire: And try to behave
yourself, you two, okay?

Gloria: We will.

I'm excited to see this.

Grandad?

This is bloody brilliant,
grandad.

Isthatsupposed
to be a compliment?

Well, what does it sound like?

Well, whenever I hear the word "bloody"
it's usually not such a good thing.

This here is curmudgeon corner.

It was your grandma
who came up with that idea,

to have the place for
the old timers to hang out.

Is that what they call
coffin Dodgers?

Bud: Never you mind.

I wasn't so hot
about the idea at first,

giving up valuable floor space
to a bunch of freeloaders.

But your grandma,

she put her foot down,

and as usual, she was right.

Curmudgeon corner turned
out to be a big plus for this place.

I don't remember
much about grandma.

Bud: Well, now, that's a shame.

Your grandma was just
about the sweetest person

you could ever want to meet.

That's not to say she didn't
have a temper.

She could be fierce if you crossed
her, but always generous to a fault,

and as kind as the day is long.

Yup.

It was two years ago, just
before Christmas that she...

So, not my favorite holiday.

You miss her.

Yeah.

You have her eyes,
you know that?

Do I? We don't look alike.

Without a doubt.
I look at you and...

Gloria: Uh...

What was that?

Bud: Let's go find out.

Gloria: Do you think
someone tried to break in?

Bud: If they did, they can
have anything they want.

Gloria: Grandad.

What?
Huh! What are you doing here?

I thought you'd be
long gone by now.

Hello.

Bud: Uh...

You stay here,
I'll go deal with Sally.

No, no, no, grandad, don't.

Just be nice to him.

Gloria: No, grandad, don't!

Please! Please! No!
Grandad! Grandad!

Hey.

Bud: Hey, Sally.

Oh. Mr. Mcshane, thank god.

I thought maybe someone
had tried to break in.

Gloria: Whoa, whoa, whoa.

That's my, uh, granddaughter.

Hey, hey! Oh, my god! Calm down.

She wanted to come in
to work with me today, so...

It's okay.

Stop. Stop. Stop.

No. Don't, don't. No!

She's, um, rearranging
some stuff.

Bud: On the shelves.

Ugh! Prancer!

Okay, you're probably fine.

I'll come help you. It's okay,
okay. I'm going to help.

All right? So...

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Okay. All right.

Hey, hey! No, no, no!

Uh, Sally, could you look
under the counter for my keys?

Your keys?
You dropped your keys?

I dropped my keys either
there or... you lost them again?

I can't see anything down here.

I know. They're... are you sure?

How about a little further
over? Maybe that's it.

No, I don't think they're here.
I can't see them anywhere.

Uh, I was going for something.

Sally: Well, no. Not
down here. Nothing?

Mr. Mcshane, I don't
see any keys anywhere.

Oh. Oh! Uh...

I'm sorry, I had them all along.

Gloria: Oh, you're back.

Look at this mess.

No way!

Grandad as Santa.

Oh.

Wait, but hold on...

So you're telling me
you created all this mess,

almost got caught,
just to show me this?

Whoa! Oh, hi, I'm Gloria.

I'm Mr. Mcshane's granddaughter.

Hey, tevin. Why are you
coming in the back way?

Uh, I have to get a delivery
together for, um, Mrs. Bradley.

Right. I'll tell you what,
I'll take care of it.

Um, listen, it might be better if
nobody knows about the deer.

I'm planning a surprise
for Christmas.

Oh, yeah, yeah, okay.

Bud: Could you go out there
and get the fire started?

Uh, yeah, sure.

Can I have the list?
Oh, and your car keys?

Oh, uh, nice
meeting you, Gloria.

Yeah. See ya, dude.

Gloria: Where is he going?

So what are we gonna do?

Nothing.
What do you mean, nothing?

Tevin will keep
prancer a secret.

The more important question is,

how did that deer get
inside of my locked store?

There's got to be some
logical explanation.

Oh, yeah. One of them
being prancer is magical.

Prancer is not magical,
and I don't believe in him.

Smart, yes. Magical, no.

I think he's here for a reason.

He could have left if he'd
wanted to, but he didn't.

So he decided to stay,
gonna wreck your life,

and then you end up
in a retirement home.

You watch, that deer's
got something on his mind.

Too bad he can't talk
like mister ed.

Then he could tell us what
he was thinking.

Wait, who is mister ed? What?

Am I meant to know mister ed?
Of course you are.

Don't you go to school?

Yeah, but we don't
learn about mister ed.

Well, then there's something
wrong with your school.

I had to get one more delivery
before your store closed.

I was so disappointed
to hear about that.

Yeah, well, we had a
good run, but it's time.

I have such fond memories
of shopping at your store.

Betty, she was always
such a hoot.

Yeah, she surely
could make people laugh.

Unlike yours truly.

Oh, you're not so bad.

You might think you are, but your
bark was always worse than your bite.

All done.

I think you deserve a hot
chocolate for that, Gloria.

Oh, yes, please.

Bud: No, we've got
to get on back to the store.

Oh. Coffee for you maybe,
Thomas? Bud: Um, thanks. But no.

Come on, Gloria,
let's skedaddle.

Bye-bye.

She's nice.

I think she thinks
you're nice too.

Oh, stop it, Gloria.

What's that supposed to mean?

Grandad, I saw the way
she looked at you.

She likes you.
Get in the car, Gloria.

Nancy and I have known
each other a long time,

going all the way
back to high school.

Nancy? Ooh!

What is wrong with you?

We're friends.

We've always been
nothing but friends.

Whatever you say... Thomas.

Hey, your son tell you
about my offer?

I want to buy your
house, old man.

Figured with the store closing
you'd be off to some old age home.

Oh, grot you! Come on, Gloria.

"Grot" me?

Come on. Some nice old age home.

Um, grandad, um... "Grot you"?

Yeah, I didn't want to say
the other thing in front of you.

Oh, no, no, no.

I didn't mean "grot"
as like a swear word.

I meant it being,
like, dirty or gross.

Yeah. Well, that stupid idiot
doesn't know that, does he?

True.

But I've still got so many
questions. Who is that guy?

Man: Hey, Gloria. Mine
will have two sugars, please.

Just like Betty's back.

Save me one of those cookies.

No, no, no. You've
had, like, 50 today.

No, I know that one.

Gloria, unlike hanging around
this guy, it's been a pleasure.

Yeah, I really enjoyed it. Yeah.

See you, guys see you later.

Gloria: Oh, and tevin.
Don't spoil our surprise.

Hlflflnkaboutw no, no,
no, no. You think about it.

Hey, honey. How did it go?

Really, really good.
Yeah. I enjoyed it.

Good, yeah. I'm tired.

Butgood.

Prancer! What are you doing?
Why are you here?

Why are you in our kitchen?
And why are you in our house?

What are you doing?

If this is some sort of midnight
snack, you should not have fruit.

Stop that.

Why are you so loud
when you chew apples?

Excuse me. Where do you
think you're going?

Please.

What?

What... what...
What do you want from me?

You want me to follow you?

What?

No way. This is
bonkers, prancer.

Yeah. I'm not gonna follow you.

I am not gonna follow you.

Gloria: Prancer.

Prancer, where are you?

Goldang it.

Gloria: Prancer,
this is not funny.

This was a bad idea.

You wanted me to follow you,
and I'm freezing out here.

Where are you?

This isn't funny anymore.

Okay, I'm not getting eaten.
I'm out of here.

Gloria: Prancer!

Ugh.

Bud: Gloria.

Gerald: Oh, dad.

Why listen to Gerald? This
wouldn't happen in a retirement home.

What do I know, huh?

What do I know?

Where have you been?

So now you've finally arrived.

Stop it! Stop it!
What are you even doing?

Oh, dad.

Bud: Gloria. What's going on?

Why didn't you wake me?

Oh, prancer came to the house.
He wanted to show me something.

So you came out here in the woods
all by yourself to see what it was?

Well...

Gerald: Get a load
of this, Claire.

Gloria: No wonder
the house is freezing.

Bud: What are you trying
to tell us, prancer?

Come on, grandad.

Oh! What's going on with you?

I tripped, fell.

I'm all right. Come on.

No, no. Come on.

Let's go back to the house.
Get some ice on it.

But prancer?

Bud: We won't be able to
follow you tonight, prancer. Sorry.

Going to have to come
back tomorrow.

See you.

No, not the phone.

Gerald: She'll be down
in a second.

You sure you don't want
some hot cocoa, son?

Looks like you need warming up.

What is going on? Sit, please.

Just now, I found these two in the
woods conversing with a reindeer.

Reindeer? What are you
talking about?

The animal attacked me
and did this to my phone.

The animal did not
attack you, ger.

Claire: Dad?

Do you want to explain
what's going on?

Gloria?

Fine. Give us the silent
treatment.

Butjust so you know, first thing
tomorrow I'm calling Finn Wally.

No, you're not, son.

Who is Finn Wally?

He's the jerk we ran into
outside of the store.

Gerald: Deer are not
aggressive like that, dad.

You know that, right?

There's something wrong with it.

I mean, you've heard the
reports. Bubonic plague.

That's what some of the
animals in the woods are carrying.

I heard it on the news
this morning.

That deer does not
have bubonic plague.

How do you know? Because
it's not the 14th century, Gerry.

Look, Gerald,

if you call Finn Wally, the two of us
are going to have a really big problem.

I'm tired.

I'm going to go to bed.

This is all really strange. I mean, I
can't even...

Let's just deal with it tomorrow,
when we've all had some sleep.

Gerald: Fine with me.

You... you're grounded.

Oh, great! I'm off
to child prison again.

Oh, my gosh! Guys, wake up!

It snowed last night!
Tyler, wake up!

Gerald: Psychotic deer...

Middle of the night...

What is he up to? Haley: Is
he actually talking to himself?

Gerald: Dad has gone crazy.

Haley: Oh, mom, help him up.

Need a hand, dad?

What are you doing up here?

How come you're not downstairs?

Oh. Mom grounded me.

What for?

Did you crack? What?

After I left, they gave
you the third degree.

So did you crack?
Did you tell them everything?

Oh, no, no, no. Of course not.

Ah! Attagirl. Way to go.

Oh, did Gerald call that git, Finn
walrus? Oh, no, no, no, Finn Wally?

Bud: Wally doesn't have a phone.

Gerald's going to drive over to
his place after he digs out his car.

I wanted to have it
out with him,

but evidently we're not
speaking at the moment.

So what should we do? We
can try and protect prancer?

I think that deer can
probably take care of himself.

What's more important is that
the two of us get our ducks in a row.

And I got my duck.

Whoa, you've got a pet duck?
Bud: No, no, no.

I mean, I think I know
why prancer is here.

He wants me to keep
the store open.

That's why he was there
yesterday, to tell me that.

And?

Ah, I'm not sure,

but I think maybe there's some kind of
connection between prancer and bet.

Why? Bud: I don't know exactly.

Uh, not everything in life has
a logical explanation, Gloria.

Some things you just feel.

Yeah, I understand. Bud: Hmm.

But why did you close
the store in the first place?

Well, when me and bet ran
the store together, we were...

We were like this.

We were magic.

After she passed, I just
gradually lost interest in everything.

I stopped paying the mortgage.
The bank finally forced my hand.

What can you do about that?

Um, I don't know, really.

Something will turn up.

In the meantime,
I'm going to go downstairs

and have a word with your
mother and see if I can't spring you.

Okay.

Erica: Oh, my god!

Gerald: That's not funny.
Erica: Pretty funny.

Gerald: Could've hurt myself.
Erica: I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I know I used to ground you
when you were a kid.

But you did some really
stupid stuff back then.

Stupider than sneaking out in the
middle of the night to talk to a reindeer?

Claire: Kids, huh?

They sure do change you,
don't they, dad?

Mm-hmm.

Gloria made me grow up.

I had to.

Hey.

Hey, what's going on?

I'm... I'm a mess
right now, dad.

Uh-huh. And?

And you don't want
to hear about it.

Come on, Claire. It's me.

You're my daughter.

Everything you warned me
about Todd, it came true.

Everything.

There, I said it.

You can say, "I told you so."

Okay. I told you so.

Yeah.

You two guys splitting up?

Oh, he moved out months ago.

Gloria thinks we're still gonna
get back together, but that is...

That's not going to happen.

I'm so worried about her dad.

Because he was never
a good father.

But Gloria, she really,
really loves him and...

And she can't understand why
he doesn't want to see her more

when he comes to London
and it's breaking her heart.

I'm sure it is.

Look, Claire. Um...

This is not the most exciting
town in the world...

And it certainly isn't London,

but it's still your home.

And you're always welcome.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Gloria can come down at noon.

Sentence served?

Sentence served.

Wally: So is he going to sell?

Gerald: I'm not here about that.

I got a job for you.

Wally: What kind of a job?

What do you think?

Two hundred bucks a day.

All right. Plus expenses.

Expenses?

Ammunition, food, butane gas
if I have to camp out overnight.

I stay out until I get
the job done, mcshane.

All right. All right,
you're hired.

What am I hunting?
Gerald: Reindeer.

Reindeer?

Gerald: That's what I said.

I get to keep the antlers.

Kids!

Gerald: It's done.

Finn says I'm doing
the right thing.

Animals are territorial.

That reindeer will keep
coming back

if I hadn't hired him
to take care of it.

I think it's odd, ger.

You wanting to hire a man
who almost shot you?

Well, Finn's the best
in the area.

And he agrees the reindeer
might be diseased.

Look, if I've got to be the bad
guy to protect everyone, so be it.

Is that the only reason you're
doing this, to protect everyone?

What's that supposed to mean?

You just seem so angry
at your father.

I'm not angry.

I'm just concerned.

I mean, come on, Erica.

He's out in the middle of
the night talking to a reindeer.

You know, that's like...

He needs care.

He needs to be in a place
where he's taken care of.

Oh. There you are.

How come you're not out there
sledding with everyone else?

I told them they
shouldn't go sledding.

Not with that deer.

Painted yourself
into a corner, did you?

Oh, come on, ger,
don't be like that.

Come on, have a seat.

I want to talk to you
about something.

I... I could really
use your help.

Gerald: And what do you
need my help with?

I need you to go down to the
store and have a look at the books.

Bring them home if you have to.

Because you're the accountant.

I need you to help me figure
out a way to keep the store open.

But dad... no.

Closing the store is
absolutely the right thing to do.

So you can ship me off to pine
grove, where everybody's all happy.

I'm not going there, ger.

I really love this house.

And itwould kill me having to be
put in a place like that and you know it.

So please, help me
with the store.

Dad, you're not really feeling
like yourself right now.

You know that, right?

All this stuff with the deer.

This is the first time you've ever
asked my help with something,

you know that?

Bud: No. Really?

His thatsnotnght

well, uh... I mean, you know,

you left home
at a very young age.

You met Erica,
made a life for yourself,

and a very good life
and I'm proud of you.

I'm talking about
when I was a kid.

A kid?

Jeez.

I just always assumed
that you wanted to go off

and do your own thing
with your friends.

Yeah, well...

Amazing how often parents and kids
don't know what the other one's thinking.

I would have loved it

if you'd have asked for my help
around here or in the workshop.

Look, ger. I'm, uh...
I'm really sorry, okay?

I know I can be
closed off sometimes.

I just go into my own world, and
I don't want to let anyone else in.

But, right now, at this very
moment, I am asking for your help.

I need to keep
the store open, ger.

As long as I possibly can.

Gerald: Okay, dad.

I'll go get the books.

But don't get your hopes up.
Oh...

Haley: It was so much easier
when I was sliding on my butt!

Claire: Give me your hand.
Come on!

Erica: Kids, you got to stay
on your feet. Stay on your feet!

Haley: That was so cool.

Get to the fire swiftly.
I am freezing.

Yeah, it's very cold.

That was amazing.

Gloria: That was my first time.

Haley: Really? You're amazing
for a first timer.

Cool, retro games.

Come on.

Come on.

So done.

Go on, get outta here!
Walk of shame, brother.

Sorry. I'm out here!

I'm done, too. You guys
can divvy up my stake.

Oh, no, grandad, stay.

You just want to take me
to the cleaners.

Yeah. Very funny.

I'm gonna go up and see
how Gerald is doing,

and them I'm gonna hit the sack.

Gloria: Okay, so
it's rnyturntoroh. Yeah.

Hey, dad? Bud: Hmm?

Are you feeling okay?
Yeah, sure. Of course I am.

This is great, huh?

All of us here together.

Feels like... home.

Gloria: Okay, so whose turn?
'Cause they landed on my property.

You stop trying to take my cash.

Bud: Everybody okay with this?

Gloria: Yeah. Yeah.

Good. Night.

Claire: Good night.

Oh, no. He's not...

I'm gonna go to bed.
Okay, good night.

Good night.

Hmm?

Bud: You know what time it is?

God damn it.

Grandad, what's going on?

What's going on is that deer needs to
stop showing up in the middle of the night.

It's exhausting.

Okay, then why are you out here?

This snowmobile was running
when I came out here.

Prancer did this.

Come on, grandad!

Last night, he wanted you
to follow him.

I told him to come back
tomorrow, so he did.

And he started the snowmobile.

Go back in the house, then.
I'll tell you what's happening.

No, I'm not going back
in the house.

If you're going out to look for
prancer, I should be with you.

You got hurt last night
following prancer.

What do you think your
mother would say to me

if I told her I was taking you
back out there again tonight?

I don't care. Prancer wants me
to follow him, not you.

So you jump on the snowmobile
and go find out what he wants, yourself.

Hold on tight, you hear?

Both hands.

Gloria: Grandad, I can't
see him anywhere.

Grandad, over there!

You holding on tight?

Okay.

Let's do it.

Gloria: Faster, faster!

Over there!

Erica! They're at it again!

Whoo-hoo!

Hold on.

Gerald: I knew
I heard something.

Erica: What's going on?

Gerald: Dad and Gloria have
gone out on the snowmobile.

I'm going to go find them.
In the middle of the night?

I'll check Gloria's phone.
I'll come too.

No, you are not.

Well, I can't believe Gloria
gets to go on a midnight ride

on the snowmobile with grandad.

Ugh!

Bed. Good night!

Hey, prancer, watch out!

Hey, you almost ran him over.

Sorry I missed him.

Damn you, mcshane!

Prancer, the car!

Uh, grandad, why did he
bring us here? I don't know.

Hold on. Are you seeing
what I'm seeing?

Isure am.

It's a party, grandad.

Get closer, grandad, closer!

Hold on! Gloria!

Gloria!

Gloria.

Gloria.

Oh, no.

Oh, no. No.

No. Please, god. No.

Grandad, I filmed it.
I filmed it.

Where's my phone?

No, no. Don't move.
Don't move, please.

Grandad, we've got to
show it to Gerald. Don't move.

Now they're gonna believe
you. All right. I'll go look. Okay.

No, no. Stay down.

What'd I tell you?
It's okay, grandad.

I'm just a little shook up.

Well, listen to me. Gloria: Mom.

Gloria.

You've really gone off the
deep end this time, dad, huh?

Are you hurt? Are you sure?
No, but we saw a reindeer.

She was... she was leaning
out of the...

No, no. You are the last person
I want to see right now, dad.

What were you
thinking, dad, huh?

Putting her on the back.
Why were you...

The reindeer followed us.

Are we still with this deer?
Come on.

I didn't believe him until just
now. Believe him about what?

That deer is magical.

And why is nobody
listening to me?

It's on the phone.

Claire: You know what?

I have heard enough
about the reindeer, Gloria.

In the car.
But, grandad, you know...

Gerald: Get in the car, dad.

Gloria: It's on the phone.

Gerald: Come on, dad.

Gloria: Grandad. Bud: Hmm?

What time is it?

Early, but shouldn't
we be going to the store?

People will think
it's closing after Christmas.

It is. Gloria: What?

What are you talking about? The
store is closing after Christmas.

You all are leaving, and I'm
probably headed off to pine grove.

Oh, come on, grandad,
snap out of it. That's rubbish.

That's just it.
I have snapped out of it.

Must've been out of my mind
these last few days.

Hopefully it's only
temporary insanity.

You're not insane, grandad.

And I'm sorry
I didn't believe you.

And that's why prancer
took us to town last night.

To show us those lights.

So I'd believe like you.

I do now. I really do.

Gloria, forget about that
deer. Okay? And the store.

No, I am not going to forget
about the deer and the store.

You're the one who
dragged me into this.

We almost finished... your
mother was right, you know.

You could've been hurt
real bad last night.

But I wasn't.
No. But you could have been.

You're not listening to me.
You listen to me!

It's over. You understand?

Over. But what about...

I don't want to hear another
word about that deer.

Hey, guys, are you awake?

Hello! Oh, my gosh! Gloria.

What's going on?

Mom and dad aren't telling
me and Tyler anything.

Okay, I'll tell you.
I'll tell you everything.

But you've just got to help
me with something first.

Yes, of course.
Tell me everything.

Gloria: Okay, so there's
this reindeer, like an actual one.

And it flew over
grandad's truck.

And then, last night...

Showtime.

Gerald: Dad's not coming out
of his room, then, huh?

Nope.

We knocked on his door and he
said hejust wanted to be alone, so...

Hello? Sally: Hi, this is Sally.

Can lspeak to Mr. Mcshane?

He can't come to the phone
right now, Sally. Can I help?

Oh. Um, it's about this video.

Some people who've seen it
are calling the store.

They're asking about this deer
and the Christmas lights.

I'm not sure what to tell them.

Uh, video? I don't know
anything about a video.

Well, I just thought maybe
Mr. Mcshane had something to do with it.

I don't think so, but I can
check it out and find out.

Isthatokay? Sally: Okay.

Okay. Bye.

Hello. Iffy: Claire. Iffy.

What's with this video, man?

This is fantastic news.

Iffy, I don't know
anything about a video.

Okay? Goodbye.
Iffy: What about...

What's going on, Claire?
I have no idea.

Gloria: Enjoy.

Hey, guys, we've got a very
important announcement to make.

Betty and bud's
hardware store is not closing.

I repeat, we are not closing.

Gloria: And you can help.

Come to the store today
and meet the real prancer!

What the...

Yeah. Is that a deer?

Haley: And we need loads and loads of
lights, so bring all the lights you've got

'cause we 're going to make
Betty and bud's hardware store...

The most happiest, brightest
place in the whole world!

So come today
so we can see you there.

And we're gonna have Carol
singing with Tyler on the piano!

Tyler: Oh, no, you didn't.

And if you don't come today,

you're gonna miss out
on some real Christmas magic.

See you guys there!

Both: Tyler!

Why shouldn't we have
made the video?

Gerald: At the very least, you
should've talked to me before you did it.

You'd have said no, dad.
Maybe I would.

Did you even watch the video?

Can you believe what that deer
did to the lights on the main street?

Haley?

Come on. That's done with
some sort of special effect.

I knew you would say that.
Erica: Haley!

No, you're either part of the
problem or part of the solution.

Which is it going to be for you?

Gerald: Why are you
singling me out?

Gloria said you hired
a hunter to kill the deer.

Bud: It's suffocating up there.

Can't hardly breathe,
it's so damn hot.

That right there, that's
why we made the video.

Grandad, I made you something.

It's okay, you can
read it later.

Hurry up! Come on. Tyler: Okay.

It's not that heavy.

Got them?

Got 'em.

He goes in there.

Okay, let's see here.

Are you going to get us
all killed?

No. Never drove
in the winter before, though.

Haley. It's okay.

It's okay.

Okay, let's do this again.

What's wrong? What's wrong?

The kids have just
taken off in Claire's car.

Hold on, ger.

I'll go after them. But why?

Because you're way too upset.

Know what you can do?

Go stop Finn Wally
from going after prancer!

Prancer? You're calling
him prancer now?

You don't actually think that deer
caused those lights to turn on, do you?

Want to know what
I think, honey?

A little magic can
take you a long way.

What's that?

Uh, this is a book Gloria made.

I found it on dad's desk.

It's all about what those two
have been up to this week.

Let me see that.

Haley, look out, that's a car!

Haley: Oh, my god!

Oh, my god!

What was that?
I have no clue, Tyler!

That was the wrong
side of the road!

What? It's not my fault!

Claire: This is your mother.

You call me back right now.
Do you hear me?

Man. Nobody is answering me.

Gloria, Erica.

Erica's probably still driving.

What's wrong?

I'm the bad guy in this story.

Yeah. Damn.

Wally: Good night forever,
Mr. Reindeer.

Finn Wally always gets his man.

Oh, my gosh, it has 100 views.
There's going to be so many people.

You're a terrible filmmaker.
Great. Nobody's here.

Iffy: Gloria.

Great news about the video
and that deer.

Iffy.

Who are you? Iffy nailer.

Oh, I'm Haley, iffy nailer.

Are you going to help us
put the Christmas lights out?

Yeah. Well, if enough
people turn up, that is.

Iffy: Well, people in
brightridge, hopefully, yeah.

Tevin: I think I saw some
Christmas lights around... yeah.

Here.

Nice one, tevin.

Well, let's get started.

That's for the back.
Woman: Get inside, it's cold.

Where is the deer?

Woman: Okay, come on, let's go.

Boy: The video said there
was going to be a reindeer.

Gloria: We found some more.

Stu: There's plenty of lights.

It's nice. Look.

No, stu, come on.
We haven't even started.

We need the whole place to
be covered with Christmas lights.

Here come more troops.

Haley: Hey, they brought lights.

They're okay, Claire. I'll call
you back when we've had words.

Man 1: Hello.
Man 2: Good morning.

Woman 1: Hi, iffy. Guys,
how's it going?

Woman 2: Merry Christmas.

Thank you.

Gloria: Tevin, we can't have
tangled lights. Come on, back to work.

Listen, dad.

All I want is for you to feel the way
you did when mom was still with us.

You were happy back then.

I've always been good with
numbers, you know, practical things.

Flights of fancy, though,

it's kind of
the deep end for me.

But look,

I finished checking the store's
books like you wanted me to.

There's a decent amount
of debt there.

And it'll be a challenge
to sort it all out.

I want to help you.

With the store.

I got a few ideas that might
help turn things around,

and I just wanted you
to know that.

And as far as the retirement home
goes, well, Claire and I have been talking,

and we're gonna work something
out so you can stay here,

and you'll be safe.

'Cause that's the most
important thing.

That you're safe.

I love you, dad.

Okay, uh, I better go.

There's a hunter out there
I need to, you know...

Before he does any damage
I'll regret for the rest of my life.

You should watch
the video on there.

The kids made it for you.

Sure about this, ger?

I mean, do you even remember
how to ride one of these?

Well, we're about to find out.

Hmm.

Wish me luck.

Whoa! It's fast.

I got this! Good luck.

When are you ever going
to play that thing?

Where's mom and Haley?

Oh. They're out helping out
with the lights.

You two are from that video.

Where's the deer?
When's it gonna be here?

Oh, the deer.

Oh, prancer's coming,
don't worry.

It's coming.
The reindeer's coming.

You don't really think the
deer's going to come, do you?

Oh, I do hope he does.

What the...

Not this time. This time
you are going down.

Finn! Stop!

Wally: Get out
of the way, mcshane!

Put the rifle away!

Wally: The deer is mine!

Finn, your contract's canceled.

Do you hear me?

Wally: Nobody's gonna stop me!

Oh! Typical!

Thought we fixed this.

Deck the halls
with boughs of Holly

fa, la, la, la, la, la, la

'tis the season to be jolly

fa, la, la, la, la, la, la

Um, iffy, what's going on?

I called these guys
in case we have a problem.

What sort of problem?

So many lights are being put
up, we could overload the circuit.

We might have to take
some of them down.

No, we're not taking any
down, and we need them all.

I know you want
all the lights, Gloria,

but the infrastructure's
shot here in brightridge.

What does that even mean?

We turn on all the lights on
main street at the same time,

the whole town could go dark.

What are you doing?

O Christmas tree
o Christmas tree

thy leaves are so unchanging

o Christmas tree
o Christmas tree

merry Christmas. Bye.

Brightridge people, they're
the best in the whole wide world.

That's my 10th spring pre-order.

Whoa! I know.

Gold, yes? Woman: Yes, please.

Oh, what fun it is to ride

in a one horse open sleigh, hey!

Jingle bells, jingle bells
jingle all the way

oh, what fun it is to ride
in a one horse open sleigh

hear that, Gloria? Music.

What's wrong?

Well, what do you think, Haley?

None of the lights are working.

Prancer's nowhere to be seen

and nothing is going
according to my plans.

But the store is jammed.
So what?

If only... if what?

If grandad was here.
We did all of this for him.

All these people
are here for him.

I've got videos.
He'll see what went down.

Just doesn't feel the same.

Man: This is the last fuse. Woman:
If this doesn't work, I'll blow my fuse.

I'm trying here, I'm trying.
Woman: Please, fix it!

You fix it. Damn box!

Oh, my god.

Oh, my gosh.

Woman: What happened?
Child: What's going on?

Grandad, you came. I had to.

I had to thank you
for that beautiful book.

Your grandma would have
loved that book, too.

Look, a reindeer.

Bud: Hey, there.

Remind you of somebody you know?

You finally came.

No animal ever got
the better of firm Wally.

No animal is about
to now, neither.

Gerald: Finn, are you crazy?
Put the riffle away!

Wally: Just get off! Get off!

I'm finishing the job, whether
you like it or not, mcshane.

Bud: Hey. Santa?

Wally: You've done it now,
old man. You've done it now.

Officer: You're under
arrest, Wally. I'm under arrest?

What about these two?

You have the right to remain
silent. I know my rights!

You have the right
to an attorney.

Who I will call
as soon as I can...

What you do not
have the right to do

is hunt in the middle of town...

You don't have to read me my
rights every time I'm arrested.

Officer: And endanger
citizens you idiot!

That was awesome, dad.

Aw, thanks, honey.

That was nothing.
If your grandfather hadn't...

No. You're the one that
stopped Wally from shooting.

I only threw one punch.

I think it's time to celebrate.

All: Yes!

Erica: You need a hot
chocolate. You're right. I think I do.

Come on.

We wish you a merry Christmas

we wish you a merry Christmas

we wish you a merry Christmas

and a happy new year

good tidings we bring

well, look at you.

Should I call you
Thomas or Santa?

You can call me
whatever you like.

How about some hot
cider, Nancy? In a minute.

I want to say hi to some people.

Then I want you to tell
me all about this deer.

It's a deal.

What's that supposed to mean?

We're just having
a conversation.

Hey, come.

There is something I
want to talk to you about.

You know, I'm sorry, right,

about everything
I've done this past week.

Oh, honey. No, no, no. I know.

Okay. I know why
you did all those things.

And I know that it's kind of
been really tough for us lately.

It was mostly because of dad.

I read the text.

You did?

You know that Germany's
not too far away, right?

And that he can still be
part of your life.

Yeah, but he hasn't been
for a while now.

Um, I don't think
he's coming back.

Oh, I'm so sorry, honey.

I'm so sorry.

I should have talked to you
about this sooner.

But you know what?

I've been thinking.

Hey.

Your grandad, he's going to
need some extra help, right?

We thought maybe we
could get him a nurse, but...

And then I suggested that
maybe you and I stay here.

I thought you'd neversaythat

oh, we can stay
for a while, Gloria.

Or maybe for... ever, maybe?

I love it here. I love the people,
I love the town, I love the woods.

Brightridge already
feels like home.

Yeah. Yeah?

Well, do you wanna
go tell grandad?

Everybody seemed
to clear out pretty fast.

Yeah, well, your
star attraction left.

Oh, grandad, I've got something
really important to tell you.

Shoot

okay, so me and mom want
to stay here with you, maybe?

What do you mean, stay?

You know what I mean.
Live here with you.

Uh, well, I don't... lmean...

No, no, no. I get what you
mean. You don't want us here.

No, no, no. Of course I do.

Itwould be, uh...
It would be fantastic.

But, um, don't you think it would
get kind of boring living here?

Grandad, more exciting things have
happened in brightridge in less than a week

than in ten years in London. Oh.

And either way, I love you.

I don't want to be
anywhere else.

I love you, too.

Um, all right. But if you're
going to be living with me,

we have to set up some ground
rules. You understand?

Okay. Good idea.
Can't be such slob.

You can't be buzzing
around me all the time.

I need my space.

Okay, then you can't be
such a grump.

Ah, yeah, you have to, um...

You have to, um...

Whoa.

Bud: Oh.

Bud: Bloody brilliant.

Gloria: Uh...

Bud: I think it's
rubbing off on me.

I'm gonna go tell
everybody, okay?

Gloria: Once upon a time, there
was a couple named bud and Betty.

They owned a hardware store
in the heart of town.

But one Christmas,
Betty wasn't there anymore,

and bud forgot
how to feel christmassy.

That was until prancer,
the magical reindeer, appeared

and bud saw him fly.

Like, actually fly.

Prancer showed bud

that he needed to let some
light back into his life again

and reminded him Betty's always with
him when his family and friends are too.

Got a feeling that
Christmas day is near

and the spirit of
Santa claus is here

such a wonderful time

when the snow is in town

it's a hell of a thrill
when the sleigh bells sound

it's the time of the year
for fleeting glances

when the guy in the stall
says "merry Christmas"

what a glorious night
singing o Tannenbaum

to be cozy and warm
when the snow is falling down

it's a wonderful time

betcha more than a dime

the city bell's gonna chime

the Christmas star's gonna shine

and old folks singing in rhyme

merry Christmas
