How does Santa eat
all the cookies

that kids leave out for him?

Magic!

I don't think he'd mind

if we helped him
a little bit, though.

Hey!

It's time for bed, Adam.

But we need to put
the carrots out

for the reindeer.

That's right.

Carrots are packed
with Vitamin A,

and you need that
for good vision.

Well, then you'd better
get them these STAT!

- Oh, ho, ho...
- Thanks, Mom!

You know,
Santa might miss our house

if you don't get to bed soon.

Five more minutes?

Yeah, five more minutes?

All right,

but only if I can get
an Adam sandwich.

Deal.

Come here!

Ooh, tighter, tighter, tighter,
tighter, tighter!

Can we ride on the trolley
again tomorrow?

Absolutely.

And we're going caroling.

With hot chocolate?

I think hot chocolate
while caroling is a must.

Yeah, it keeps
the vocal cords relaxed.

Oh, yeah, I've read that.

Marshmallows
help with that, too.

We love you, bud.

Sleep well.

Night, buddy.

Love you, Adam.

Love you, too.

Ah...

Are you okay, Brian?

Yeah, just a headache.

I'll be fine.

What do you think?

I think it's the best bike
in the whole world.

Right?

Yeah.

Now...

it's time
for our annual celebration.

♪ The fire's glowing... ♪

I thought you forgot.

Forget our first
Christmas together? Me?

Never!

We got snowed in...

Yeah, but I kept you warm.

And I knew

I never wanted to spend
another Christmas without you.

And every Christmas since,

it's been you, me,

and chestnuts roasting on...

The bell!

The bell?

I forgot the bell
for Adam's bike.

Uh, there's a store
just down the street.

Oh, no, you don't
have to do that.

We can just get it
after Christmas.

No, the bell's the most
important part of the bike.

More important than the wheels?

Equally as important, yeah.

When I was his age,

I had a green bike,

and the bell was
the best part of the bike.

I told Adam all about it.

His face just lit up.

You should have
seen him, Kaitlyn.

Seems like a clever way

to get out of
helping me clean up.

It'll only take me five minutes,

and then, I promise you,

I will be back
to finish our dance.

Have I mentioned
how much I love you?

Get outta here.

- All right.
- Go!

♪ Magic is falling
straight from the sky ♪

♪ Covering everything
glistening white ♪

♪ Jack Frost has finally
come out to say hi ♪

♪ With his snow
on Christmas morning ♪

There we go.
Great!

Oh, that's great.

Whoo-hoo!

Fabulous.

I can't believe
the client called us back

for last-minute re-shoots.

Who does that
three weeks before Christmas?

It's okay.

I'll have the proofs to you
by the end of the day tomorrow.

Kaitlyn, you're the best.
Thank you.

Jenny, I haven't been excited
about a project like this

in years.

Thank you for inviting me
to be a part of it.

Come in-house.

Let us hire you full-time.

I love you, my boss loves you,
the clients love you...

Any chance you'd move
the company to L.A.?

No, London is calling.

I wish I could.

What is keeping you in L.A.?

A man perhaps?

Yes.

My son.

He's already had his life
uprooted once.

But uprooting can be good?

We have amazing schools
in London,

and you could travel
around Europe together,

and your son could learn
proper football,

not the American kind.

I mean, I have to be honest,
it sounds amazing.

So you'll think about it
this time?

I promise I will.

All right, let's get a line-up.

One more time.

Here we go...

Miss Morrison?

Yeah?
Oh, hi, Miss Polly.

I wanted to see
if we could pick a time

to set up
a parent-teacher conference

after the break.

Is everything okay?

We all adore Adam.

We just want to talk about
his social and emotional goals.

What does that mean?

Adam's not entirely
comfortable participating

in class discussions
or group projects.

He's a little shy.

He is, but I'm worried

it's extending
outside the classroom.

At recess, he'd rather be alone,

or skip it altogether.

And you're concerned?

We just take a holistic
approach to education,

and sometimes, when faced
with the loss of a parent,

children can turn inward.

Well, I appreciate you
bringing this up with me.

Yes, let's...
Let's definitely meet.

Great.

I'll email you some dates,

and please try not to worry.

It's just a meeting.

Thank you.

Have a nice holiday.

You, too.

Thank you.

Hey, what do you want
for dinner tonight?

Anything is fine.

Well, I was thinking about
making spaghetti?

Okay.

Hey, Adam, is everything
okay at school?

Yeah.

Hey, if you ever wanna talk
about anything at all,

I'm here.

Okay.

I think I'm gonna go
start dinner.

Cool.

Cool.

Hey, bud, let's put that away
and wash up, please.

Aw...

Hey there.

How's my favorite sister-in-law?

I'm fabulous.

Colorado
is the perfect combination

of cold and festive.

That sounds lovely.

You okay?

Not really.

What's going on?

Adam's teacher says that
he's struggling in school.

He's having trouble connecting
with other kids.

She thinks it might be
everything related to Brian.

Oh, you two are really close.

I'm sure if he was struggling,
he would tell you about it.

Yeah, I thought he would,
but now I don't know.

You know what?

Maybe you two need to re-connect

with a holiday trip?

Maddy...

I'm serious.

Have you given any more thought
to spending Christmas here?

Your parents are in New York
with your brother.

You and Adam should be
surrounded by family

and more Christmas cheer

than you can poke
a peppermint stick at.

I don't know...

There is something else.

Okay...?

Your tenants gave notice.

John and I were gonna look
for new renters,

but then we were contacted
by JCM Developers.

They want to make an offer
on the house.

It's not for sale.

You know what?

Just come, get it appraised,

and then see how you feel.

You're just trying
to lure me back to Colorado.

I am.

You know,
I haven't even told you

about the new praline toffee
at the candy shop

with the little flakes of salt
on top.

Okay, that's not fair.

You know toffee
is my love language.

I think I deserve all the candy

for this manual labor.

Is that John?

Would you tell him I said hello?

You say hi for yourself.

I'm serious.
You should be here.

Get closure on the house,

and hugs.

You're meant to be here
this Christmas, I can feel it.

They visit us every summer.

Besides,

we always volunteer
at the soup kitchen

for Christmas.

Well, maybe we can find
some place in Colorado

to volunteer.

That'd be fun.

Hey, you know,

you never told me what you want
for Christmas this year.

I don't need anything.

Nothing?

You want nothing for Christmas?

Maybe we'll talk about it later.

I love you.

Love you, too, Mom.

Sleep well.

You would know what to do.

You always knew what he needed.

I wish...

I wish he could just have
five more minutes with you.

Adam!

You are so big!

Hi, Grandma.

Aw, we've missed you, kiddo.

Are you ready to talk
Yule Fest activities?

After lunch, Grandpa.

He has been planning
all morning.

I'll get the bags.

Thank you!

Do you wanna come inside
for something to eat?

Sure.

Oh... hi.

Oh, I'm so glad you and Adam
are here for Christmas.

How's he doing?

He's been a little bit
withdrawn lately.

I hope being here
isn't too much.

Well, we are all together now,

and it's going to be wonderful.

You'll see,

and I even baked
his favorite cookies.

The ones with
the chopped-up candy canes?

Yes!

- I love those!
- I know!

How long does it take
to plan one day?

Planning the Yule Fest
activities is a big deal.

Yeah, and you can't do it
all in one day,

so tough decisions
need to be made.

Yes.

Gingerbread houses

versus a cookie
decorating contest.

It's lots of agonizing choices.

Very funny.

How's the world
of commercial photography?

It's a little spotty,

but I'm actually working
for this one agency,

and they're talking about
bringing me on full-time.

That's exciting.

It is.
We'll see what happens.

Hey, did you wanna stop by
the house today?

If you did,

Maddy and I would
be happy to go with you.

No pressure.

Um...

Yeah.

Yeah, I think
we probably should.

It'd probably be easier
to go now

rather than closer to Christmas.

I'm gonna go, uh,
just check on Adam.

I'll ask him if he wants
to visit the house.

Okay...

Here.

This was your dad's.

He said it was a Christmas star

to guide him home.

I like it.

Go for it.

This brings back
a lot of memories.

They took such good care of it.

Yeah.

Yeah, the renters
were really good people.

I forgot how cozy it is,

you know?

We used to sit in front of
the fireplace for hours.

There you are.

Your old room.

Yeah, I wasn't sure,

but I remember the stars,

like the key chain.

I'm not ready to leave yet.

We'll be back here soon,

I promise.

Hey, you know what I could
go for right now?

So, do you remember any of this?

No, not really.

I only remember
riding on the trolley.

Well, I guess that makes sense.

You were barely six
when we moved.

Why did we move?

Well, after your dad passed,

I felt like
we needed a fresh start.

Nana and Pops lived in L.A...

It just made sense.

Do you miss it?

Sometimes, yeah,

but that's what makes
trips like this so special,

right?

Yule Fest

is one of the best things
about Hollowford.

You wanna go check out
that ice sculpture?

Sure.

Okay.

You can stay here maybe?

I'll be right back.

Oh, okay.

Cool, cool.

The first tween brush-off
is the hardest.

Excuse me?

It's nothing personal.

He just doesn't
want to seem uncool

in front of the other kids.

Oh...

How old is he, 11-ish?

He's 10.

Good guess.

You have kids?

No.

My sister has four,
all of them boys.

You're an uncle to four boys?

My other sister
has another four.

Also, all boys.

Eight boys?

Yeah.

I guess that answers my question

about what you do for a living.

You're a professional uncle.

Well, If we are
assigning labels,

I prefer the term "funcle".

Yes, kinda my thing.

Matthew.

I'm Matthew Jamison.

Oh, uh, Kaitlyn Morrison.

I went to school
with a Brian Morrison.

Uh, he was my husband.

I'm sorry for your loss.

We were actually friends
in high school.

We sort of lost touch,
but he was a really good guy.

He was.

Thank you.

How did you two meet?

Oh, gosh...

uh, UCLA.

Not on campus, though.

We both worked at
the same real estate office.

He answered the phones.

I uploaded photo listings.

The humble beginnings

of the architect
and commercial photographer

we became.

You were a good team.

I think we were.

I know a real-estate joke,
if you wanna hear it?

Always.

What does a house wear?
I don't know.

Address.

A-ha?

It's a good one, right?

It's a good joke.

- It's good.
- Yup.

My nephew taught me that one.

He is only five,

but he has incredible
comic timing.

That's sweet.

So, is this
your first Yule Fest?

Oh, no.

We lived here
when Adam was littler.

Brian used to talk about
the amazing Christmas festival

in his hometown,

and I thought he was
over-selling it.

- He was not.
- He was not.

Jinx.

You have to buy me a drink.

Uh, no, no, Sir.

I don't buy strangers drinks.

Oh, wow.

Well, real bummer
that you can't talk anymore.

I was enjoying our conversation.

Excuse me?

Hi, can I please have a cider?

Psst!

I haven't seen you here before.

I'm visiting my grandparents
for Christmas.

So you don't have
any friends here?

No.

Everyone needs a friend.

Come with me.

Hey, wait!
Where are you going?

Excuse me?

Did you just see where
that little boy went?

What little boy?

He was just here,
wearing this Santa hat.

You stole a Santa hat
from a kid?

What? No.

It fell off when he ran away.

I was just joking.

Sorry.

No, it's me.

I'm not the greatest with jokes.

Skye!

I gotta go.

My mom's making me get
new shoes,

but I like these ones.

Hey, look!

I'm Skye.

Your shoe twin.

Adam, nice to meet you.

Mm.

Wow.

You're really enjoying this,
aren't you?

This is the best cider
I've ever had.

Well, I had to buy it for you.

You were just
following the rules.

Exactly.

Are you big on that?

Oh, sure.

I always have to drive
the speed limit.

I always have to apologize
when I'm wrong.

- No!
- Oh, yeah.

And the most
annoying thing about me,

I always have to
make things right.

Actually, that's not annoying.

That's heroic.

You know, I wanted
to tell you that I am...

Mom!

Oh, hey, honey!

Where'd you get that Santa hat?

A boy dropped it
and now I can't find him.

Oh, okay.

Well, we can swing by
the lost and found

on our way out.

It was nice to meet you.

Come on, kiddo.

How was your visit to the house?

Oh, it was good.

It was emotional,

but it made me feel
closer to him.

Aw, well, you know,
you don't have to sell.

You could just lease again?

Mm...

Delay the decision

is one of my favorite decisions.

Well, you've got time
to think about it.

I don't know.

I...

I was just offered a position

with the firm that
I've been working with recently,

and I'm considering taking it.

The problem is, it's...

It's based in London.

Oh, that...

That's a lot further away
than L.A...

Yeah, it would be a big change,

and I don't know
if I could hold onto the house,

but sometimes, it feels
a little bit like

I'm holding onto the past.

I understand.

It's so much more
than just a house.

See, that's what's really hard,

because that house was a dream
we built together.

It's tough.

Who's ready for the first
Christmas adventure

of the holiday season?

I am.

Great.

I meant to give you that.

Matthew's representing
the developer

who's looking to buy
your property.

You should give him a call.

There he is.

Merry Christmas, Howie.

Hey, Merry Christmas, Kees.

You remember my daughter-in-law?

I sure do.

Hello, Kaitlyn.

Hi.

This can't be little Adam?

Not so little anymore.

It's really good to see you.

I hear you're the new chair
of the Yule Fest.

It's my new full-time job.

Now, Adam, I know how important

the trolley was to you,

so it's only right

that Mr. Kees is the first stop
on our Christmas adventure list.

The trolley's here?

There it is.

Did you get it running yet?

Uh, we haven't been able to run
'er for about two years.

Engine gave out.

Can you fix it?

I'm trying to get it going
for Christmas,

but don't tell anyone.

I want to make it
a Yule Fest surprise.

There you go.

Adam, look!

A place to volunteer.

I'll go find someone to ask.

Excuse me?

Sir, my son and I

are looking for a holiday
volunteer opportunity, and...

Hey.

Hi.

I was hoping I'd run into you.

Really?

Yes.

Mom, did you ask?

I did.

Hi, I'm Matthew.

You must be Adam.

I saw you in the square
the other night.

I hear you and your mom
are interested in volunteering?

You know what?
Bummer.

Our schedule's all booked up,

so that's too bad.

But volunteering at Christmas
is our family tradition.

You said that we'd find
a charity

that needs us out here.

Well, I'm sure the food bank
could use your help?

Matthew, where are you hiding
the good ones?

We need to go big or go home.

Well, we literally
have to get it home,

so let's not get too big.

Not too big, good ones,
over here.

Follow me.

Oh, Adam.

I wanted to introduce you
to my buddy, Louis.

Louis, Adam.

Adam, Louis.

Cool.
Did you make him?

Yes, I did.
How did you know that?

It's the eyes, right?
He's got my eyes.

Oh!

Hey, let me help.

I'm fine.

Indulge me.

I gotta do something
to earn this apron.

This one!
This is the one!

Wow, this one's got
a lot of girth.

I love it.

We might need some help
getting it home, though.

Well, I have a really good
delivery service

I can recommend.

What did you pick up
at the tree lot,

apart from the tree?

Would you stop?

Now, that is a tree.

Yeah.

Now, we have
a lot of food inside,

and you're staying for dinner.

How can I resist?

You can't.

Christmas rules.

We'll get the tree.

Do you wanna tell me
what's going on?

You didn't say a word at dinner.

You tell me.

I... I wish I could.

You made the offer on my house.

I tried to tell you...

Matthew, can you come over

and help us
straighten out the tree?

Yeah.

Ah...

We got this one
when we were first married.

How long ago was that?

55 of the best years of my life.

You know,
you can leave any time.

Please don't feel obligated
to stay here.

I don't feel obligated.

I'm happy to help.

But, like, I don't want
to keep you, you know?

I'm sure you have

way more important things
to do tonight.

Not really.

Schedule's wide open.

Well, that's terrific.

We can really use your height.

Well, I'm all yours.

Matthew, how is
that new resort development

coming along?

Uh, great.

I don't know if you guys
had time to talk about it,

but Matthew's the one

that brought the offer
from JCM about the house?

Oh, no, we haven't, uh,
talked about that yet.

So, I saw the brochure online.

It looks really luxurious.

Well, JCM does a great job
with their projects.

I mean, they've certainly

changed the landscape
around here

from what it looked like
back in the day.

You grew up here?

Did you know my dad?

I did.

I did know your dad.

You know, I regret that
we didn't really stay in touch,

but I played football with him
all through high school,

and on our very last game,

I was feeling a little down

'cause I knew the next time
we'd be in that stadium,

it wouldn't be on the field,

we'd be in the stands,

but he told me
not to focus on that,

but to focus on
all the good times that we had.

He was a pretty smart guy.

He really was.

I think it's time.

Oh, you know what?

I can't find a star
in any of these boxes.

I'll look for it tomorrow.

I think it's out in the garage.

Everybody ready?

Yes.

You did a good job.

Three, two, one...

Ha-ha! There it is!

It's beautiful, Dad!

Yeah, you made a great choice.

Why didn't you tell me

that you were the one
who made the offer on my house?

I tried to tell you.

Oh, really?
I missed that,

because you literally said
nothing about it.

Look, I don't work for JCM.

I'm a contractor,

but they came to me.

They wanted me to bring
the offer to you

because I'm local,

and I know your family.

Exactly, yes,
you know my family,

so you should have
told me about it.

I tried to tell you,
but you had to go home.

You could have told me any time.

Hiding that information from me
was a really weird thing to do.

It would be if I was hiding it,

but I wasn't.

Do you want to know
what the offer is?

You're unbelievable.

You should at least know
what JCM is offering

before you make a decision
on what to do.

How do I know
if it's a good offer

if I don't even know
how much the house is worth?

I could recommend someone
to appraise it.

Isn't that
a conflict of interest?

I played football
with your husband,

so I think
we're bonded for life.

Are we?

Look, you...
You don't have to like me.

You're just collecting information.

I'll call my guy,

we can meet you
at the house tomorrow, okay?

1:00 p.m...

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Merry Christmas.

I did some research last night.

I ran some comps,
but this number is way higher.

Well, it's a beautiful property

in a great school zone.

It's got a lot going for it,

if you were to list it.

I could start a trust fund
for Adam

with this kind of money.

You know,

speaking as a Morrison
family friend,

and not as
a representative of JCM,

if you made a few
tiny improvements,

you could put it on the market,

see if you get
an even better offer.

What kind of improvements?

Nothing big, painting,

new lighting fixtures,

new carpet upstairs,

maybe a new porch swing?

Even if I wanted
to make improvements,

I wouldn't know where to start.

I could recommend
some contractors.

No, it's okay.

Look, I am sorry

about what happened when we met.

When I...

when I realized who you were,

I should have told you
immediately who I was.

Well, thank you for your help
with the appraiser.

My pleasure.

I was wondering if you and Adam

would want to help me decorate
some food drive donation bins?

Put 'em out around town?

Sure.

I bet Adam
would really like that.

All right, Adam,
here's your kit,

and I'm just gonna be
right over there

talking to Mr. Kees.

Cool.

- See you later.
- Okay.

You can't do that alone.

Are you talking to me?

Yeah.

You need someone
to hold up your walls.

You should ask
a friend to help you.

Come on.

Hey, wait!
Where are you going?

Did you just see
where that kid went?

No.

These were his glasses.

You don't have to pretend

to have people with you,
you know?

I'm not pretending.

What are you doing?

I make wreaths
with all the leftover stuff

Matthew gives us
from the tree lot.

Then we give them out
at the library,

where my mom works.

That's cool.

I hope people like them.

They will.

Do you want to help me build
my gingerbread house?

Yeah.

Do you want to make
some wreaths with me later?

Sure.

Okay.

Do you like living
in Hollowford?

Yeah.

It's hard to be new sometimes,

but I like it here.

I think I might
want to move here.

That would be awesome.

Then I wouldn't be
the only new kid.

Yeah, I just don't know
how to tell my mom.

She wants to sell the house.

We'll think of a way.

We will?

Yeah.

Hello?

Kaitlyn?
It's Jenny.

Jenny!
How are you?

Great.

The proofs came back
and the shots were incredible.

As usual.

Good!
I'm glad they worked out.

They always do.

That's why I'm calling, actually.

Did you have a chance
to look at the offer

that we sent over?

Um, I did, yes.

It's-it's very generous.

Well, when I told them
that you were considering it,

they flipped
and sweetened the deal.

Full health benefits,

and all moving expenses.

Ooh...

That's really tough
for me to turn down.

Um, well, you know,

I would need some flexibility
in my schedule initially

in order to get Adam settled.

Done.

They really want you to say yes.

I think...

yes.

Get up, get up!
Ah...

It's the first one
I've missed all day.

All right, let's see
what you've got.

Wow.

Why am I not surprised?

Beginner's luck, Jamie.

Wow.

Very nice.

So, how's the project
coming along?

Materials have started to ship,

and should arrive
shortly after the New Year.

Fantastic,

and how are we doing
with the property on Elm?

Is she ready to sell yet?

Miss Morrison
is considering all her options,

including other buyers.

Seriously?

I wanna get that deal done, Matthew.

I understand.

So, start applying
a little friendly pressure.

Well, I...

I know the family, so...

that wouldn't feel right.

You're a rare bird, Matthew,

and I admire that.

I could use a man like you
in New York.

You don't have
an office in New York.

Well, I've been working on that.

I'm helping you.

Okay.

I thought you were trying
to steal this tree,

and I'm about to let you have it

because it's actually
very heavy.

It is heavy.

Hey, none of the contractors
on your list

are available
until after Christmas.

Oh.

I'm sorry to hear that.

So, I was hoping
you could tell me

what the improvements are,

and maybe I can do them myself?

Here?

Here, yeah.

Gosh.

Ah!

Do you have experience?

No... great.

What's the rush?

Well,

I have just been offered
a new job

in London, actually,

so Adam and I are leaving
right after Christmas.

That's great.

It is, but then

everything would have to be done
by Christmas, and...

You know, this was
the first house

that Brian designed,

so if I'm going to let it go,

I want to get
the best deal possible...

For Adam.

Right, of course.

Yeah.

Will you help me?

Yes.

Yes, I will help you.

Thank you.

So, how's everything with Adam?

Any regrets about
coming here for Christmas?

None.

I think he may have even
made a friend.

What?

Social learning happening
before our very eyes.

I'm so relieved.

You were right.

You know, you've got a knack
for knowing what people need.

Brian was the same way.

You know, it's funny
that you say that

because I'm going back to school
to become a nurse.

What?

Are you serious?

What specialty?

Well, um, labor and delivery
is the goal.

That's perfect.

My labor and delivery nurse...

And my doula...

They were amazing.

They worked together,

and they were the first ones
to really see me,

really see
that I was struggling.

Well, how come
I didn't hear about this?

IVF was... really intense,

and I didn't want anyone
to think

I was complaining
about this dream baby.

You know, you were
probably exhausted.

Yeah,

I think I was struggling
a lot more than I knew,

and it made it really hard
for me to bond with Adam

when he was little.

How come you didn't tell me?

I felt guilty.

Even now.

I hate that

that's how my relationship
with Adam started.

I never would have been able
to handle it without Brian,

and without the help
of my amazing nurse.

I mean, you are
going to save lives

just like that.

I know it.

You know you don't
have to feel guilty.

You're an amazing mom.

Ah, I try.

I'll settle for him
just having a great Christmas.

Wow, that looks fantastic!

Well, I told you I'd help,

and I'm a full-service
operation.

So, we can knock out
these projects together,

and then you'll still
have some time

to enjoy Yule Fest with Adam.

Well, I wish I could say
I didn't need your help,

but I do.

Should we get started?

- Sure!
- Yup.

Thanks.

Yeah, let's do it.

Hey!

I was just
cleaning out the vents.

Oh? I couldn't tell.

Here ya go.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Matthew, I checked
the food donation bin today.

Uh-huh?

There was barely anything in it.

Ah, don't worry about it.

As it gets closer to Christmas,
I'm sure it'll fill up.

Yeah, I agree.

People will come through.

But what if they don't?

What happens then?

I say we host a fundraiser
for the food bank,

here

at the house!

Honey, that would be
really hard to pull off

this close to the holiday.

Well, we could talk
to Mr. Kees

and make it a part of Yule Fest?

I don't know.

That's a big job.

Could be a good way
to show off the house.

You're for this idea?

It could be a Christmassy
kind of Open House.

Yeah, and we could call it
the Yule House,

and we could decorate
all the rooms inside

with different
Christmassy things,

and then we could sell
the tickets

and give all the money
to the food bank!

You're really excited
about this idea, huh?

Yes!

Okay, I'm in.

Am I crazy for doing this?

What, for trying
to finish the reno

and turn the house into
a Christmas attraction

in one week?

Yes.

No!
Not at all.

I mean,

maybe a little, tiny bit,

but in the best way.

Adam seemed so excited.

I haven't seen him
like that since...

What you and Adam are doing
for the food bank

is incredible.

It'll make such a difference
in people's lives.

There's still so much to do.

I hope I don't let anyone down.

You won't.

You sound so sure.

I am.

We can do this.

How are the repairs going,
Mr. Kees?

They're coming along.

Rose sent me

with some of
her famous Christmas cookies.

I look forward to them
every year.

Thank you
for the special delivery.

We actually have a favor to ask.

Well, you're in luck

because I love doing favors
for people,

especially ones
who bring me cookies.

We're raising money
for the food bank,

so we're throwing a fundraiser
at my old house.

How can I help?

Would you be willing to donate

some free trolley rides

to get people from Main Street

to the "Yule House"

on the night of the fundraiser?

The Yule House?

Each room is gonna have
a different Christmas theme.

You know,

we haven't introduced
a new event at Yule Fest

in years.

I think it's about time we do.

Count me
and the Jolly Trolly in.

We won't let you down.

Thank you, Mr. Kees.

Thank you.

Did someone get a Cricut
as an early Christmas present?

I work
at an arts and craft store.

If I didn't have one of these,
I would lose all credibility.

What did Kees say
about the trolley?

He's in.

Great.

So, we have seven days
to decorate the five rooms.

Whew, have we got
the themes yet?

Adam's trying
to come up with some,

but he hasn't gotten
anywhere yet.

He's outside waiting for Skye.

She's gonna help him brainstorm.

Hi!

What are you drawing?

This is my favorite view.

See those white mountains?

The snow,

the bright-blue sky?

There's nothing like it
in all of Hollowford.

That's my house.

It's really good.

Thanks.

I still have to work at it.

I'm working on my design skills.

My dad was an architect.

This was the first house
he ever designed.

Maybe one day, I'll get there.

Do you ever have trouble
coming up with ideas

of what to draw?

Sometimes.

I'm trying to figure out

how to decorate my house
for Yule Fest,

but I can't come up with
anything good.

When I'm not sure
what I want to do,

I let myself dream,

and trust that the right idea
will come to me.

Go ahead, give it a try.

Just start.

It will come.

I have something
to show you guys!

A neighbor helped me make them.

What neighbor?

I don't know, a neighbor.

Let me see.

Oh, you scared me.

Is everything okay?

Yes, yes.

You didn't happen to see
a guy out there, did you?

Not you, too?

What do you mean?

Is this like a family joke?

Like the time Adam saw the guy
with the green sunglasses,

or the Santa-hat boy?

You guys are silly.

We are silly.

Come on in.

Look who's here!

- Hi.
- Hi.

You drew these?

He gave me a sketchpad
and a pencil,

and then I just started drawing.

Our house used to be
full of drawings,

sketches like this.

These are incredible.

I mean, the concept seems sound.

Layout makes sense, it's clear.

I am very impressed.

So, there's a Snowman room,

and a Winter Village room
with Christmas trains.

And a Santa room...

I wasn't really sure
about the last one.

How about an Angel room?

What do you all think?

I think we should
get started, huh?

Yeah.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

You don't
have to stay here all day.

I know you have a real job.

You must be exhausted.

I love what I do,
so I never really get tired.

Well, I can relate.

See?

That's another thing
we have in common.

What are
the other things exactly?

We both love Hollowford.

We love volunteering
for charitable organizations.

Christmas.

Everybody loves Christmas.

That is not true.

My uncle Kenny hated Christmas.

Poor Uncle Kenny.

He was so misunderstood.

Christmas is wonderful,

but it can also be
really emotional.

There's another thing
that we have in common.

What's that?

Empathy.

Oh, looking good in here!

Now, Adam and Skye
are downstairs.

Howard and I are heading home,

but we'll be back tomorrow.

Thank you so much.

Are you going to the Yule Fest
Christmas craft event

this afternoon?

I think I'll just stay here
and keep working.

Oh, no, you should come.

You gotta get out in the world.

You don't wanna become
like Uncle Kenny.

How's everything going
with your mom?

Good.

I think seeing the house
all decorated

will convince her to stay.

I think Dad would have liked us
to spend Christmas in the house.

That's nice.

Good job!

So, now that you've cut
the patterns

into your luminary,

the next step is really simple.

So you're just gonna take
your sand,

pour a little bit in the base,

and then you're gonna take
your battery-powered votive,

place it on top,

and something really plain

can become something
really special.

It's a five-minute craft
that brings a season of joy.

Yes, Sir?

Has anybody ever
done this craft for charity?

We're raising money
for the local food bank.

You mean sell luminary kits
for people to make?

Yeah!

We can make them and sell them.

We could write people's names
on them.

Or dedicate them to people.

I think the Yule Fest Committee

would be very interested
in supporting this effort,

if Clara doesn't mind
giving us a hand.

I'd love to see luminaries
up and down Main Street.

I think it's a wonderful idea,

and knowing my uncle,

he will give you
all the supplies that you need.

Thank you all so much
for having me.

You did great!

Did you have
any idea about this?

No.

Adam is full of surprises.

You have a very special boy.

Time flies so fast.

Hang on to him at this age.

Make every minute count.

I will.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Hey there!

What's this?

Some extra outdoor
Christmas decorations

we had in the garage.

We thought you could use them
on the Yule House.

Yeah.

You know what?

It would be great to have
some outdoor decorations.

I'm gonna start loading the car.

No, no, no, no, no,
it's cold out there.

I will deal with that project,

and you stay warm.

That's why I married you.

I know.

Hey, has anyone seen the star
for the top of the tree?

I haven't come across it yet.

Oh, did you check the basement?

Uh, not yet, but I will.

I'll check it.

I could go there with ya.

Oh...

What's going on?

Hey, Adam.

Look.

That's how I remember him.

Me too.

Can I keep it?

Absolutely.

What's Matthew doing today?

Oh, we're gonna see him
later on at the Yule House.

I wonder what dad would think

of us spending
all this time with him?

Popcorn.

Anyone want popcorn?

- I do!
- You do?

- Okay. Popcorn?
- Yeah.

Popcorn.

Yeah, butter.

On it!

Are you gonna tell me
what's wrong,

or am I just gonna keep working

on the scariest Santa ever

in silence?

Sorry.

It's Adam.

Sometimes, he asks me
these questions,

and I'm convinced

that I've given him
the wrong answer.

Sometimes, I pretend I'm asleep,

or I inexplicably yell
"popcorn!"

Well, I think
a lot of parents do that.

Maybe not the popcorn thing.

Maybe.

Is there a particular question
that Adam asked

that's freaking you out, or...?

No, not in particular,

just tough questions in general.

I just...

Sometimes, I wish I knew

if I was getting it right
with Adam, you know?

Well, when I'm anxious,

I make a worry list.

So, what are you
worried about right now?

I'm worried that Adam
is gonna figure out

that I have no idea
what I'm doing,

that I'm gonna buy him
the wrong Christmas present,

that he's never gonna know
how much his father loved him.

Basically, that I'm failing
as a single mother,

and he's gonna stop visiting,

until one year,

he comes home for Christmas,

and he finds me buried

underneath a pile
of candy apples.

Also spiders.

That... that was a lot.

I know.

The holidays are...

really stressful,

and you have
more stressors than most,

so maybe you should
give yourself a break?

What do you say we meet up
at Antonio's later?

Grab dinner, decompress.

Glass of wine?

I love wine.

That Santa's
gonna haunt people's dreams.

Yeah, I know.

I'll see you at Antonio's.

It's a date.

Hello, there, busy bees...

It's not safe
for Kaitlyn in here!

Oh, my gosh,

I thought you said

we were gonna
keep it simple this year.

Did you not see my shirt,
"World's Best Auntie"?

Oh, I've seen it.

Just don't overdo it.

Define "overdoing it".

We're done wrapping
Kaitlyn's gift.

Okay, I'm opening my eyes.

Whoa, Maddy...

What?

See the aforementioned shirt.

Okay, Aunt Maddy,

how would you and John
like to watch Adam for me?

- Of course.
- Yeah?

Yeah, what are you up to?

I'm just, um,

I'm just gonna
grab a quick dinner,

with Matthew.

Won't be late.

You know what?

Take your time,

because it takes John and I
a long time

to spoil Adam properly.

What are you gonna wear?

I don't know.

It's just Matthew.

I have a dress
that you can borrow.

We're just going as friends.

Friends can wear dresses.

It's not a date.

It's not.

It would be okay if it was.

Yeah.

You deserve to be happy.

You know, Adam and I
make a really good team.

We like it that way,

but thank you.

I appreciate it.

I'm gonna go
take a quick shower.

Yeah, so the condos
face the mountains.

It's...
It's a beautiful view.

That's why I need to secure
the final property.

Hey, how's everything going
with Miss Morrison?

Is she ready to sell?

Uh, actually,

she's throwing a fundraiser
for the food bank

on December 23rd.

You should come.

Uh, all the rooms
will be decorated

in different Christmas themes...

Let me stop you right there.

I'm not a Christmas guy.

I'm a sports guy.

Well, you could be both.

So, she's not ready to sell yet?

She'll be ready to list it
after the event,

and you can bid,
see how it plays out.

Okay, good.

Good, good.

So, how's everything else?

The guys say

that you haven't been
around the site much lately...

Oh, my guys are the best.

They don't need me
standing over their shoulder.

It wasn't a criticism.

I'm impressed by that.

You know, Matthew,

I've got a lot of pet projects
in New York

that could use your help.

What kind of projects?

Ah-hah, I thought
you'd never ask.

Look at this.

This is my favorite.

Okay, you see?

See all through here?

These are all subsidized units,

along with our regular
luxury ones,

and this whole area here
is commercial space

that we're going to use

to share with the residents
and local non-profits.

This is really different

than what you guys normally do.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's not gonna be easy.

I'm gonna need someone
to shepherd this project

that believes in it.

You know, someone that has
a feel for community.

I think that person's you, Matthew.

You look nice.

Oh, thank you.

So do you.

Please.

Yeah.

Thanks, great.

Thanks.

I, uh, ordered a bottle of wine.

Ooh, now we're talking.

Nice to be out with a friend.

To friendship.

So, my first job,

they tried to pay me
in linen pants.

It was a dry cleaner,

and I guess
there's a lot of people

who don't return to pick up
their linen pants.

Wait, were the pants
in your size?

No, not even close.

They tried to pay me
in strangers' pants...

So it's my job
as a photographer,

to sell the thing, right?

But I couldn't see
what I was selling.

Everything was beige...

The backdrop,
the table, the cat.

I was a last-minute replacement,

so I didn't have time
to do the proper prep.

So, what were they selling?

They were selling
the color beige!

- So, why was there a cat?
- I don't know!

"Rockin' Around
the Christmas Tree"

is an overrated song.

There, I said it.

How dare you?

I prefer "White Christmas",

but what beats them all?

"The Christmas Song".

Thank you so much for this.

It felt really good
to take a step back and breathe.

I took that job...

in London?

I swear, I'm more worried now
than I was before I took it.

I thought you wanted the job?

Oh, I do.

I'm just... I'm constantly
second-guessing my decision.

I mean, I want the stability
of a steady job,

but, more than anything else,
I want what's best for Adam,

so, I'm...

I hope I made the right choice.

I don't know.

I get it.

I'm actually considering
a promotion, too.

That's awesome!

Yeah, but it's in New York.

So, I guess
we're both at a crossroads.

Right.

But you were brave.

You decided to go for it.

I just, I don't know
if I'm ready to start over.

Right.

I'd have to find a new dentist.

That's such a hassle.

Yeah, it's... it's a hassle.

Listen,

I know you were anxious before,

like when we did the list thing,

and you're worried about
making the right decision,

but from where I'm standing,

you are incredible.

Oh, stop.

No, I mean it.

You're a single mom,

out there killing it
day after day.

You are smart,
funny, creative...

I'm a really good cook.

You're incredible.

I can't do this.

I'm... Thank you for dinner.
I'm sorry.

Sorry!

Hi!

Hi...

Is there a reason
you're avoiding me?

- Avoiding you?
- Yeah.

No, I'm not...

I needed candy.

Oh, but you didn't buy
any candy.

I was checking on the candy.

Is the candy okay?

- Yeah.
- Good.

Well, that explains it,

'cause from back there

it looked like you saw me,

and then jumped into
the candy store,

and I didn't want to go in there

because I didn't want
to scare you,

have you knock over
a display shelf,

run...

Can we sit for a second?

Yeah.

Here's the deal.

I was embarrassed...

Am embarrassed,

about leaving so abruptly
from dinner.

I felt something, too...

in that moment we...

should just talk about it?

I don't think I can.

Okay.

- Is it?
- Yeah.

So, what were you doing

before you dove
into the candy store?

I didn't dive.

- You...
- It was a duck.

- Hmm.
- I was Christmas shopping.

Want some company?

I'm a great gift-giver.

And very modest, too.

- Yes?
- Yes!

Huh?

- No.
- No?

No.

John would love this hat.

I don't think
anyone loves that hat.

I don't know...

I need something
a little more light-hearted.

What about a silly tie?

Nobody ever wants to wear a tie,

ever,

and then when we're forced to,

it's usually some work thing,

so it can't have gophers
riding a llama.

That's tough, but it's fair.

Oh, I know!

What about
the Cheese of the Month club?

You said you were
a good gift-giver.

What?
Who doesn't like cheese?

Are you cold?
Here.

Really?
Oh, no, I don't have to...

I can't take your scarf.

You didn't take my scarf.

I offered it.

Thank you.

Hey, I'm sorry about...
about before.

You know, I haven't had
a moment like that

since Brian.

If it helps,

I haven't felt like that
with anyone

for a very long time.

It's scary to be vulnerable
with someone.

Friends?

Always.

I'm a little nervous.

Good evening, folks!

Caroling will begin
in 10 minutes.

Our first song tonight

will be "We Wish You
a Merry Christmas."

Yes!

Whoo-hoo!

Told you so, right?

- Hi!
- Hey!

Where's Adam?

Oh, he's waiting in line
for Santa Claus.

I'm a little worried about him.

He was kinda quiet.

Well, maybe he's quiet

because he's mulling over
what he wants.

A lot of tough decisions
happen in that hut.

I think I'm gonna
go wait for him

over at the "Sacred Santa Hut".

Look, don't...
Don't mock the Hut.

Oh, no, I would never.

- Okay, good.
- I'm very serious.

I'll go with you.

Okay.

- Bye.
- Yeah.

Mr. Kees,

how are the repairs going?

Slow,

but, um, I'm still hopeful

the trolley will be ready.

Keep your fingers crossed,
Miss Maddy.

Merry Christmas, young man!

Come on up here
and get your picture taken.

You look like a gentleman
with a lot on his mind.

Yes, I am.

Tell me, have you been
a good boy this Christmas?

I tried.

I think you were.

I'll check the list later,

but it's a gut feeling.

Now,

what did you want
to ask me for this year?

I want to stay here
in our house,

in Dad's house.

Have you told your mom?

No.

Why not?

I feel scared,

because I'm so happy here,

but I don't want to make things
harder on her.

Sharing our feelings,

and being honest
with the people we love,

helps us understand each other,

even if it's not
what they're ready to hear.

I think you're right.

Thanks.

Merry Christmas, Adam.

Merry Christmas.

Wait.

How do you know my name?

Here you go, honey.

Did you have fun tonight?

You seemed a little quiet.

I figured out
what I want for Christmas.

That's great news.

What is it?

I want to keep our house
and move back to Hollowford.

Oh...

Adam, I'm... I'm sorry, we can't.

We can.

We have a place to live.

I can go to school with Skye,

and you can do your job here.

I'm so sorry.

It's... It's not possible.

Why?
Why can't we stay?

Okay.

I was going to tell you,

but I...
I just got a new job,

and I've got a salary,
and benefits,

and it's in London.

What?

Yeah, it's gonna be
an amazing adventure for us.

We're gonna travel
the whole world.

It's gonna be a fresh start
for both of us.

No!

I want our fresh start
to be here.

Please, Mom?

Adam, I'm sorry.

Honey?

Honey?

Are you okay?

Adam told me
that he wants to stay here,

so I told him about London,

and now he's really upset.

Aw...

parenting is not
for the faint of heart.

You can only do
what you think is right.

We all trust you.

I wish I trusted myself.

I know you'll find a way.

Hi, honey.

Grandpa dropped me off.

You wanna help me paint?

Did you have fun with Grandpa?

Okay, I know
you're really upset with me,

and I want you to know that
that's okay.

We don't have to agree
on everything.

You might even
hate me sometimes.

It's all right,

but what I don't want you to do
right now is shut down,

withdraw,

because I have loved

seeing you here.

Your... confidence.

Your voice.

I haven't heard that
in such a long time.

I don't hate you, Mom.

We're gonna be okay,

wherever we are,

because we have
each other, right?

Hey,

since this fundraiser's
coming up in a couple of days,

what do you say you and I spend

one last night at the Yule House
before we leave?

Does that sound fun?

- Hi.
- Hi.

Sorry to interrupt,

I wasn't expecting
anyone to be here.

Just wanted to drop these off.

Oh, thank you.

Yeah, I'm just giving Adam
a night in the house

before we leave.

He's having a slumber party
with Skye.

Sounds like a great idea.

Yeah, I just set them up
to watch some Christmas movies

in the Santa room,

so they're basically in heaven.

Awesome.

Well, have fun.

I'll just... I'll put these
in the garage for now?

- Yeah...
- Wait!

What?

Do you want to come in, um,

for a steaming mug
of hot chocolate?

It's the least I can do.

You've been incredibly generous
with your time,

and energy, and...

You had me at "steaming".

I'd love to.

Jamie called earlier.

He really wants the property.

He means well,

but he shouldn't
be pressuring you.

No, it's... it's fine.

I turned him down,

but I might have to rethink that
if the offer goes up.

Mm.

Well, you deserve to get
the best price for this place.

You stick with
your original plan,

and you can list it,

and everyone can bid...

Jamie, too.

He's been so patient,

and you've been amazing.

I mean, you've made this place
magical for me,

and for Adam.

Helping us throw
this big charity event?

It's the perfect way
to say goodbye

to this beautiful house,

and you know,

I realized

that for as much time
as we have spent together,

you've never told me anything
about your personal life.

Hmm.

Have you ever been married?

No.

I... I got close... once,

but she left me
after I moved back here.

I was starting a business.

She didn't feel like
she was a priority,

and she was probably right.

It was my fault,

but I didn't...

I didn't know
what was important back then.

Do you know now?

I like to think so.

I'm sorry.

I know you're not ready.

Yeah...

I'll see you tomorrow.

Uh... I'll see you tomorrow.

Thanks for coming, buddy.

I never turn down
good fusion food.

Good thing
New York's full of them.

Any developments
on the Morrison house?

Well, she just wants
to get the best price she can,

and she deserves to.

So, I think if you come up
on your offer a little bit,

you might get lucky.

That's good to know.

I'm gonna put
a little extra something

in your stocking this year.

That's not necessary,

but since you mentioned
New York...

I'm leaning towards yes.

You are gonna love it.

Anything you want, you got it.

So, um,

what tipped the odds
in my favor?

Uh, there's...

no one to stay here for,

and I know that now.

Well, lucky me, huh?

Oh, hey, I know
you're not a Christmas guy,

but I left some tickets
with your receptionist

for the fundraiser
tomorrow night.

I'll probably be working,
but I appreciate it.

Well, I figured,

but just in case
you change your mind.

Hey.

I couldn't resist the offer.

I signed the contract
this morning.

I spoke to Jamie.

He's over the moon.

I can't believe

this isn't going to be
our house anymore.

Yeah, it's a lot to process.

Come in.

Hey, Jenny!

Yeah, absolutely.

I do, I have to call you back.

We're moving to London.

Yeah, I know.

You know, I think moms and dads
have a real hard job,

'cause they're trying
to balance what they want

with what's best for you,

and I know how you feel
about leaving Hollowford,

'cause I'm starting a new job
after Christmas,

and it's in New York.

Everybody is leaving.

When will I see you again?

I don't know...

but what I do know

is that we can't know

everything
that's in store for us,

so we just have to...

enjoy life as it comes,

with its ups and downs,

and be grateful for the time
that we got to be together.

Hey...

I got you something.

Hmm?

Come here.

Oh!

Oh, he's got him!

Touchdown!

Oh, he's getting away!

Down.

That was fun.

You nervous?

You know what? No.

For the first time, maybe ever,

I'm really proud
of what we did here.

Yeah, me too.

They're here!

He made it.

The trolley's here!

Merry Christmas, Adam.

Hi, Grandma!

Oh, I had to be

one of the first ones
to see it all done,

and we brought along
a few friends

to start the cavalry.

- Merry Christmas!
- Thank you!

- Hey, Mom!
- Hi!

Mr. Kees...

You made it happen.

I had faith that
it would all come together.

Well, you were right.

The food bank
has just informed me

that we have raised over $5,000!

- What?
- Wow!

The Yule Fest Committee

would also like to honor

the hard work

of Adam Morrison and Skye Julian

with an award presentation

at the Yule Fest Finale

tomorrow night.

Hey.

I'm sorry, man.

I thought everything
would be over by now.

Oh, you're not here
for the event?

Oh, no, no.

I gotta get a jump on things.

I mean, this whole property

is gonna get rezoned
for Commercial

right away.

Plus, I don't know

how long the tear-down's
gonna take.

Tear-down?

What are you talking about?

Well, you know I lost the deal
on East Channing, right?

So, we needed a new place
to build the high rise,

and well, this place
made perfect sense.

They're tearing
the Yule House down?

Wait, you said

that you were gonna keep
most of the properties intact,

especially the ones
closest to downtown.

Well, that was the plan,

but then we went
into a different direction.

So, we like to keep
the plans fluid.

Right, Matthew?

Wait, you knew about this?

No. I...

I mean, I knew they lost
the Channing property,

and were looking
for a replacement, but...

I can't talk about this
right now.

Come on, Adam.

Kaitlyn...

Walk away from the contract.

What?
I can't do that.

I've seen you
walk away from deals

where you lost millions.

Pick another lot.

I will help you find it.

It's not that simple.

I bought the house.

I can do what I want
with the property.

It's what we do.

Not this time.

Why?

Because the house
means something,

and tearing it down isn't right.

I'm sorry, Matt.

It's just business.

I thought you said

you were trying
to change this company.

Do things that were
more community-minded.

I am.

So don't do this.

I am asking as a friend.

Please.

It's a done deal.

Well, thank you for
the New York opportunity, Jamie,

but I have to decline.

Matthew, come on.

No.

It'll never be
just about business for me.

Ah!

You know what, I just need
five more minutes.

It's fine.

Yeah, Adam went ahead
with Mom and Dad.

Oh!

Well, you should go, too.

Mom never found the star.

You know what?

I'll go check in the basement
before I go.

- Okay.
- Okay.

We'll see you there?

- Yeah, see you there.
- Great.

Okay.

Ah.

Is...

Is this possible?

Come here.

How? How?

My wish!
My wish came true!

I wished for five more minutes
for Adam,

and he's not here.
I have to get him...

I've been with him.

He doesn't need
five more minutes.

I'll be with him forever.

He'll see the signs.

You both will.

Hey, please don't go?

I can't do this by myself.

You...

You were... You were so much.

I'm just me.

Adam's kind,

and capable,

and he's smart,

and generous.

He's so full of love.

Yeah.

He's always looking
for reasons to help people.

Yeah.

He's just like you.

He got those things from you.

You can do this.

You've been doing this.

Things I wish I could have said

over this last year,

but...

I didn't just send
four messages.

I sent five.

I sent Matthew with the fifth.

Matthew?

You sent Matt...

the same thing to you.

Come on.

Jamie released you
from the contract.

What?

He tore it up.

Apparently, he does have
a heart at Christmas.

That's incredible.

I thought so, too.

I wanted to tell you in person.

I'm so glad you did.

Something tells me

that this wouldn't have
happened without you.

I had to make it right.

Thank you.

You're very welcome.

So... what did you
want to talk about?

When do you leave for New York?

I don't.

I decided I'm gonna stay.

Watching everyone rally
this past week

made me realize
this is where I wanna be.

This is my community.

This is my home.

I am so glad
you figured that out

before it was too late.

I hope we can stay in touch?

Hollowford is not
close to London,

but what's a few thousand miles
between friends, right?

What if I don't want
to be friends?

Then I would understand.

You, uh...

you're starting
a whole new life.

What if I want to be
more than friends?

What about London?

I've been thinking about it.

About... what?

I like American football.

You do?

And I like Hollowford,

and I like the house

that Brian built
for Adam and me,

and I like you.

Matthew Jamison,

food bank volunteer,

and partner
in Yule House shenanigans,

will you go out
on a date with me?

I thought you'd never...

Ask.

Hey, Adam, come here.

Close your eyes
and put out your hand.

Open up.

I am so sorry it took me so long

to figure out where we belong.

Merry Christmas.

We're staying?

We're staying.

Come here.

Come on, let's go home.
