Thank you.

I don't get it.

Every year. People flock

to his house and take
pictures. Never our house.

It's not fair. I worked
just as hard as he did.

What does he have that I don't?

Oh, I don't know, taste?

He's bribing them with
free food. Go make some cookies.

Let it go, John. Christmas
isn't about competition.

Just be grateful for what we have.

No. I have a better idea.

We got hot chocolate,
hot cider and everything.

You want to see something good?

- Get a load of this.
- Look!

He's up on the roof.

Uh-huh.

You looking? You looking?

_

_

It's this way.

Sir, can you move at all?

- It hurts.
- Okay. Probably a good sign.

Just stay still. Can you
tell me how this happened?

Snowman pushed me off the roof.

Blood pressure's 120/70.
Respiration's good.

- All right. Yeah.
- Do we move him over a little bit?

Doesn't appear to be any spinal damage.

All right, let's get him on a backboard.

Oh, looks like the baby
Jesus broke your fall.

- That's a Christmas miracle.
- You guys ready?

Yeah.

Oh, look, John, you
finally got your wish.

Everyone's taking pictures.

Ready to go.

This is the best Christmas ever.

Ready? One, two...

That knot is the same size
it was ten minutes ago.

Yeah, I'm beginning to
think it's something mankind

wasn't meant to tamper with.

Well, maybe you'll have better luck

with your next project.

Oh, Harry saw a YouTube
review. He has been talking

about nothing else for three months.

Been hiding it in the garage.

When we were kids, we got
excited about lawn darts.

- Lawn darts?
- Yeah, you know,

those metal spikes
with the wings on them

you'd toss across your lawn.

I think they stopped making them

because there were so many
injuries, but I loved them.

My brother was a madman. He'd throw them

way up in the air, then he'd laugh at me

while I freaked out, running around,

not knowing where they
were gonna come down.

I think this is a
minimum two-hour assembly.

It's getting pretty late, so...

Maybe you could just sleep over.

We can make a night of it.

Hot chocolate, a little Nat King Cole.

Well, I like the sound of that.

- Know what would be even better?
- Hmm?

If you didn't have to sleep over at all

'cause you already lived here.

Wow.

You look like
you praying for a 911 call.

Oh, no, I'm not. I...

Well, maybe a little one. Cat in a tree.

I just, you know,

I get tired of having to say
good night to you at the door

and tired of sleeping
alone in a bed made for two.

I want you in my life.

I know the idea of another family...

Instant family...

Probably rings a lot of bells
for you after what happened.

No, 'Thena, it's not that.

You just... you just
took me by surprise.

Look, I'm not trying to
give you an ultimatum.

I mean, move in or else.

That's not me. That's not it.

I just wanted you to know

that I was open to taking the next step.

♪ Hey, take a picture ♪

♪ Show me what's the news today ♪

♪ It's an addiction ♪

♪ It's a game I badly want to play ♪

♪ So raise the stakes, boy ♪

♪ And show me what... ♪

Morning, roomie.

Yeah, about that...

Hey.

Looks like you're stuck with me again.

- Sorry.
- It's okay.

I have a new air
mattress waiting for you.

You saw this coming?

You didn't?

Oh, we suck at this.

Really?

'Cause I feel pretty good
about how that went down.

You know what I mean.

We say we're gonna talk
and work things out,

but we just keep ending up like this.

It's a different way
of working things out.

Mm-hmm.

- You're getting the tree today?
- Mm-hmm.

The annual tradition of convincing him

that, no, a 16-foot tree
does not fit in the house.

You know, I caved one year.

That last Christmas before you got back.

He hadn't been feeling well, and...

we missed you.

When Christopher looked
up at that giant tree,

I couldn't say no.

Where'd you put it?

- The backyard.
- Oh, yeah.

Of course.

But we didn't have enough
ornaments to cover it,

so we just loaded it up
with lights and ribbon.

And I got the sleeping bags
out, and we laid under it,

just staring up at
the branches for hours.

Mm.

- He must have loved that.
- Yeah.

You know, he still won't tell
me what he wants for Christmas.

- I've tried everything.
- Did you take him to see Santa?

You mean the creepy guy at
the mall with a fake beard? No.

Oh, my God.

You still haven't let that go.

Look, just because you got scared

and threw up all over
Santa, that doesn't mean...

First off, yeah, that was very wrong

of my abuela to tell you that story.

And-and second, no.

I wasn't scared. I...

The old guy smelled bad,
and I had a stomach flu.

Really? Two years in a row

- you had the stomach flu? Yeah?
- Yeah.

- Daddy!
- Eddito?

Are you here?

Why is he here? I thought
you were picking him up.

I'll distract them.
You-you head out the back.

- Whoa, w-wait.
- What?

- What?
- You want me to sneak out?

That's our son out there.

Look, we've been trying to figure out

- how to tell him. Maybe this is the moment.
- Daddy. Daddy.

- Dad?
- It's not the moment, okay?

You-you have to go. You have to go.

- Hey. Hey, buddy.
- Hey.

Thought I was supposed to
pick you up at Abuela's.

Oh, he was so
excited about decorating

that he couldn't wait to get home.

Did you have company?

What?

Oh, you know, I'm not
the best housekeeper.

Show... Hey, show me what you got.

We ended up
with two Christmas trees.

- He said, "This is Daddy, this is me."
- Yeah?

- Aw.
- Huh?

You loved this green one, didn't you?

- Let's get this out of the way.
- Okay.

Let me help you out, buddy.

_

_

- I beg your pardon?
- I can't breathe.

- I can't breathe.
- Uh...

Sir, where are you calling from?

I'm trapped inside a Christmas present.

- You're what, now?
- I work at West L.A. Distro on Sepulveda.

I was pulling a double shift
in the warehouse, and...

Ow. Oh, I'm bleeding.

Something must have hit me on the head.

I must have passed out
in one of these boxes,

and it got loaded somehow.

- I think I'm on a truck.
- Okay.

The West L.A. Distro on Sepulveda.

Tell me your name.

- Brandon Skinner.
- Okay, Brandon.

You're sealed in a box,

and you think you're on a truck.

Yeah. I'm getting jostled
pretty good in here.

- Is it a cardboard box?
- Yeah.

Can you punch or kick
your way out of it?

Tried. I tried!

I've been shrink-wrapped.

I'm getting a little claustrophobic.

Brandon, my name is Maddie.

Listen to my voice, and just breathe.

I can't. I can't. There's no air.

- Oh, God!
- Brandon, there's air.

You're talking to me, so there's air.

Stay calm. We're gonna find you.

I'll contact the warehouse,

see if we can track down the truck.

Brandon, do you know how
long you've been in there?

No, I just came to.

It's difficult to breathe.

- I think I'm gonna pass out again.
- Okay.

I don't want you to talk a lot,

but I need you to try and stay awake.

We're gonna have you home for Christmas.

Ha! I hope not.

Not unless this box is going to Seattle.

- You're from Seattle?
- Yeah.

Going down here for school.

My mom wanted me home
for Christmas break.

She offered to pay for it,
but she can't afford it.

I should probably call her

in case you guys don't find me in time.

We're gonna find you.

- Just stay with me.
- There are trucks

leaving that facility every 20 minutes.

We're working with the warehouse

to try and contact all the drivers.

It stopped. I think we stopped.

Hey! I'm in here! Help!

How long's he been in the air?

Plane took off from LAX 18 minutes ago.

It was diverted to SoCal Airport.

18 minutes. It's nearly long
enough to reach altitude.

It's not good. Cargo isn't
pressurized or heated.

I thought coach was bad.

Hey, Chim, make sure

we have oh-two and warming
blankets standing by.

Copy that.

Put your lights on. Let's go, Chim.

Come on, let's move.

- Oh, joy.
- Well, it looks like

we're opening presents
early this year, huh?

Clock is ticking, guys.
We got to find this kid.

Dispatch said he was
having trouble breathing

even before he went up in the air.

Wait. Did you guys hear that?

Stethoscope?

That's our guy!

Hey, get this shrink-wrap off.

Got it?

What do we got?

Yeah, I got him. He's
in there. He's in there.

Okay.

I see him.
He doesn't look good.

- He out?
- Yeah.

Okay. Get the bear out.

Get the bear out, guys.

All right, come on.

You ready?

One, two, three.

Slide him up.

- He's cold, Cap.
- All right, get some blankets on him.

I don't have a pulse.

Starting compressions.

- How's he doing, Eddie?
- Still nothing.

Buck, switch.

All right, switching.

Come on out, Chim.

Hold for a pulse check.

Still nothing.

I got a pulse!

- Temp's rising.
- Welcome back, Brandon.

- I'm not dead?
- You're not dead.

Well, someone really
wants to talk to you.

She told me not to answer it.

Who did?

Maddie. The 911 lady.

She said she would ring
it for you to find me.

Maddie?

- Chim?
- Oh, fancy meeting you here.

- How's Brandon?
- He's good.

He's here. Do you want to talk to him?

Oh, I do.

Hi, Brandon.

Thank you.

Thank you.

- You're welcome.
- I look like an ornament.

Better on the tree than under it, right?

Thank you.

Shannon. What are you doing here?

You won't answer my
texts or return my calls.

- This is not the place.
- Maybe it's the perfect place.

- Thank you.
- We can actually have

a conversation that doesn't
end up with us in bed.

Follow me.

I can't do this here, not now.

Then where and when?

It's been almost two months,

and right now, I feel
even further away from him

and from you than I ever
did when we weren't speaking.

Are you ever gonna
let me see Christopher?

Of course.

Eventually.

Does he know that I'm here?

I didn't want to confuse him.

Not until I was sure.

Of me? Because you seemed pretty sure

when we started having sex again.

Is that how you see
this? Some transaction?

What, you sleep with me so
I let you see Christopher?

I thought it was a reconciliation.

Right up until the moment
when... you hid me from our son.

I didn't know what else to do!

I didn't know what else to do.

And I'm not keeping you from our son

- like some kind of punishment.
- Whatever I need

to do to prove myself and
to fix things, name it.

I am there.

But you and me and hiding it from him?

That is starting to
make everything feel...

more broken.

You keep looking to me
like I have the answers.

I don't.

No. Just the power.

I'm the one who screwed up,

the one who left.

I know I don't get to have a say.

So I'm following your lead.

But... where are we going?

When will you be able to forgive me?

I can forgive you.

I'm just not sure I can trust you.

Hey, so do you need help
with Christmas dinner?

Oh. No.

- Is-is Bobby working that day?
- I don't know.

I mean... I did a thing the other night.

It was stupid, foolish...

Hell, maybe it was right... but
either way, it was thoughtless.

Okay. Well, what happened?

I asked Bobby to move in.

Move in here?

So how did he take that?

Kind of like you right now.

L-Listen, I'm just standing
here wrapping these packages.

How do you know how I'm taking it?

I know that face.

You love him.

You're moving forward.

So am I.

I mean, it's good.

But it ain't easy.

You know, things have
been going so well lately

that, um, I kind of let myself forget

how complicated all this is.

- Yeah.
- When he's here,

I'm joyful, when he's not, I'm lonely.

I thought maybe he felt the same.

Hey. Hey.

Now, Bobby lived a
long time with a secret.

So did I.

Who you are on the other side of that...

I mean, it takes time to figure out.

But home isn't a place.

It's a people.

And he loves you, and
he loves our children.

So, if this is meant to be,

he will find his way home.

Have a good night, Cap.

Bobby?

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Yeah, you have a good night.

I don't know where to go.

Usually, I finish my
shift, check in with Athena,

ask her if she wants takeout,
or she wants me to cook.

Oh, you guys get into
a fight or something?

She asked me to move in.

I feel like if I show up,
she's gonna want an answer,

and if I don't, then...

Then it'll feel like an answer?

Yeah.

And I know how much it took
for her to put that out there,

and the last thing I
want to do is hurt her.

Bobby...

you guys deserve to be happy.

It would be great if that was together,

but if it's not, if you...

if you don't see a future with her,

you can't pretend that you do.

She's had enough of that.

You have to just tell her the truth.

Well, the truth is that I...

felt panic.

Well, maybe that's your answer.

Eddie's sleeping with
her, but he's lying about it.

It's like he's having an
affair with his own wife.

You don't think that's weird?

I think it's
none of our business.

Now can we please focus on the trees?

Now, exactly how pissed off is Maddie?

Should I be shopping for a
six-foot apology, or a 12?

Uh, pissed off at you for what?

For kicking you off of
my couch and onto hers.

It's an air mattress, and she is fine.

If anything, I should be the one
holding a grudge, which I will

if you don't hurry up
and pick a tree already.

Wait. Are you seriously
googling Christmas trees?

I want to buy Maddie a gift,
and I want it to be perfect.

I'm gonna go find someone to help us.

You stop overthinking and just pick one.

Blue suit, actually.

Santa Haraboji. It's a Korean thing.

Though I haven't really
given him a shout-out

since I was nine, but I had no idea

there were so many different
varieties of Christmas trees.

- So it's an important purchase?
- It's for a friend,

but she really loves Christmas,
and I want to surprise her.

A gift for the girlfriend. Nice.

No, it's not like that.

Uh, she had a rough year.

Couple of rough years, I guess.

This is our first Christmas together...

as friends, and I really,
really want it to be special.

I'd go with the noble fir.

It's a classic for a reason.

♪ Oh, the most wonderful... ♪

All right. Thank you for your guidance.

Jason. Jason Bailey.

♪ Of the year. ♪

All right.

Noble fir it is, Jason Bailey.

Ho, ho, ho.

- Surprise.
- Oh.

Wow. A Christmas tree.

Yeah.

Buck said you didn't have one yet.

Uh, is this okay?

- Is this the wrong kind of surprise?
- No, no, no.

No. It's so sweet.

Really, I-I love that you did this.

You just didn't want it. That's okay.

I mean, we shouldn't have assumed.

I just really wasn't gonna
do much Christmas this year,

'cause all of my decorations and
stuff are back in Pennsylvania.

And that is why we bought
everything you need.

We have lights, we have ornaments.

We even have...

an angel high for on top of the tree.

No. Angels are creepy.

You know what, I
think we might have overstepped.

Maddie should be able to
pick out her own decorations.

We'll just, we'll just, we'll just
bring this back to the store.

What are you talking about?

You can't return a tree.

Hey, come on. You always
loved Christmas, right?

Ornaments, stockings, cookies.
You made your own bows.

Yeah. I'm not really feeling
the holiday this year, okay?

Well, no. No, it's not okay.

Come on, what's going on with you?

I don't want to talk about it.

Guys, it's fine.

You know what?
I'm just gonna...

take away the evidence before, uh,

this turns into a crime scene, okay.

So you hate Christmas now?

Something else I can
thank Doug for, huh?

No, I don't hate Christmas,
but I'm starting not

to like you very much, okay?

- Just let it go.
- Maddie...

You can't come into my house,

- Buck, and act this way.
- "Come into my house"?

I'm your brother.

Happy holidays.

Bah, humbug.

Aloha and Merry Christmas.

Romance is in the air tonight

here at Terri's Tiki Room, literally.

Be sure to steal a kiss or
two under the mistle-drone

and celebrate the season.

Drone photos of your
magic moment are available.

Ask your server.

You hooked up
with Stacy of all people.

At least she knew what she wanted.

Do you, uh, know what you want?

Be right back with your apps.

You like apps. Tinder, Bumble, Match.

You're still on all of them.

Yeah. I'm on them because I'm single,

and I'm single because you said so.

What I said was it was too soon
for Christmas with your family.

You're a commitment-phobe
and you were just looking

for an excuse... A reason to check out.

And don't forget

Tuesdays are
two-for-one Bahama Mama

and all-you-can-eat sticky
ginger chicken wing night

- at Terri's Tiki Room.
- I needed a minute.

Things were moving too fast.

I'm not phobic.

I'm afraid.

Those mean the same thing.

What the hell are you afraid of?

This.

_

_

_

_

_

_

Anything?

Not yet.

It's not like it can roll.

Maybe it bounced.

- Not that bad, right?
- No.

And they can, they
can reattach it. Right?

Yeah, the cut looks pretty clean.

We'll find the tissue, pack it in ice.

There's an excellent chance
you're gonna be good as new.

A-And even if they
couldn't, I wouldn't care.

Might need to up your comfort
game a little there, Romeo.

Look, I didn't mean to move too fast,

but I just figured when you
know something, you double down.

- But then you backed off.
- And you ran away.

You pushed me away.

I told you, I got scared.

Because you didn't want to be with me.

Doesn't that mean I'm
supposed to let you go?

Look, may-maybe she
didn't want you to move on.

She just probably needed a minute.

Well, how was he supposed to know that?

All right. Okay. All
right. Listen. Look.

People aren't afraid of what they know.

They're afraid of what they don't.

It's a hard thing to
hand someone else the keys

to your heart and your happiness.

And then you realize that
losing them would mean

losing a part of yourself.

Hey. Found it.

- Sorry, man.
- Oh, sorry.

That's your idea of a Christmas movie?

Holy crap. Jason... uh, Bailey.

- Yeah.
- What are you talking about?

- Die Hard is a holiday classic.
- Really? I don't know.

I guess I always saw it as a movie

about a guy trying to keep
his marriage together...

- with terrorists.
- At Christmas.

So what are you doing here?

I thought you'd be up to
your eyeballs in pine needles.

I'm just trying to find a
gift for my special someone.

What about you? How
did that tree go over?

Badly.

I'm not sure what to do.

I think I've really screwed things up.

Well, your boy McClane screwed
things up with Holly, right?

More than once, if I recall.

But he won her back
in the end, didn't he?

You know what? You're right.

I'm gonna try again.

Uh, just this.

What's up, man? You lose something?

- Yeah, my wallet.
- Oh, no.

- Here, I got it. No, I got it.
- No, it's okay.

- Look, I'll just, um...
- There you go.

And take that so you can get
out of the parking structure.

- No, it's probably in my car.
- In case it's not.

I can't ask you to do that.

You didn't ask, I offered.

Thanks. You know,

uh, I'll come to the
lot and pay you back.

Don't worry about it.

It's kind of a miracle
that I ran into you.

It's Christmas, Theo.

It's the time of miracles.

Thank you very much.

I offered to
wait in line with him,

but he said this is, uh, private.

Christopher.

I really admire that kid.

I love the way he always wants
to do everything on his own.

Yeah.

So... not gonna say anything?

Nah. About what?

You know what about.

I figured it was none of my business.

It's not.

That's what I'm saying.

It just kind of happened, okay?

It's not like I planned it.

I never said you did.

I only even reached out to
her because I needed her help

getting Christopher into his new school.

- Totally understandable.
- We just kind of...

- ended up in bed.
- Ah, these things happen.

It's not like you're
breaking any commandments.

You guys are still married.

Yeah.

I'm sneaking around behind
my kid's back with his mother.

Christopher doesn't know?

I don't know what he knows.

These kids sense things, right?

The other day, I made her sneak out

so he wouldn't see her there.

Trying to protect your kid.

I mean, she ran out on him, right?

I ran out first.

I ran out on both of them.

See, when Christopher was first
diagnosed I was in Afghanistan.

Right at the end of my tour.

Instead of going back home...

I reenlisted.

I told myself it was to pay the bills.

But you were running away, too.

Yeah. But I got to pretend
like it was for a noble cause.

Serving my country.

But when Shannon broke,
nobody thought she was a hero.

She just got called evil.

And now she wants back in his life.

- Yeah.
- So why don't you let her?

Seems like she's already back in yours.

That's... that's what's got me confused.

Would I be doing it for
Christopher or for me?

I guess sex complicates everything.

You said it, brother.

Uh, hey.

How'd it go, pal?

It went great.

- So what'd you ask for?
- Can't tell.

Santa said he'd work on it.

Oh, man...

Let's go.

- Ooh.
- Wah.

You two have an adorable son.

Um... Thank you.

- Dad. Is Santa real?
- Hmm?

Is Santa real? Why?

Did someone say he wasn't?

What do you think?

Do you think he's real?

W-When you were gone,

I asked Santa for you to
come back, and you did.

When I was in Afghanistan?

You know, buddy,

Christmas wishes aren't
like birthday wishes. Yeah.

You can say them out loud
and they'll still come true.

I asked him to find Mom. Will he?

He's sure gonna try.

So I asked Ms. Rangley
and she said it was okay

to FaceTime during the
performance so you can see it.

Um, what time will it be
over there in a half an hour?

I don't care what time
it is. I'm not missing

my little girl's first
solo with the choir.

I miss you, Daddy.

- It's been so long.
- I know.

But you just go get ready,

and I promise we'll
be hugging real soon.

Yeah, in a month.

Break a leg.

I love you.

I love you, too.

- Surprising her?
- I've been traveling

for 30 hours straight.

Every form of transport you can imagine.

Jeep, Humvee, APV, helicopter,

737, and now city bus,

all to make it home in time

to hear my little
girl sing in the choir.

Is this bus usually on time?

I've got to make the crosstown connector

- and I don't want to miss it.
- Relax.

The good Lord wouldn't let you
miss such an important event

after all you've done to get there.

Hey.

Hey, you took that man's wallet.

Piss off, Top Gun.

That's the Navy, son.

I'm a Marine.

Now give that man back his wallet

and I won't call the cops.

_

_

_

_

Let's see what we got.

I'll take the driver.

So, I don't know how, but we
have mostly minor injuries,

some cuts and bruises,
except for this guy,

and I don't know if he's gonna make it.

- Sergeant.
- That truck came out of nowhere, man.

Piece of glass clipped him in the neck.

Feels like it hit a major artery.

Carotid. You got
your finger in the hole?

That's what we're trained to do.

I've seen it before, unfortunately.

- Me, too. Where were you?
- Leatherneck.

- Ah. I was at Bagram.
- Army?

- Uh-huh.
- Nobody's perfect.

Let's run the fluids wide open.

You mind keeping your
finger there for a moment?

You don't have anywhere to be, right?

Right.

- I'm good.
- Okay.

On three. One,

two, three.

All right.

All right, let's move
him out of here, guys.

All right, keep the pressure.

All right, he's stabilizing.

Is he gonna make it?

Thanks to you, Marine.

How you feeling?

I'm fine.

Anything else I can do?

We're good.

Thank you for your service. Literally.

- You got it.
- All right, we'll take him.

I hear you have a
show to get to, Marine.

Yeah. But I'm never gonna make it.

Oh, yes, you are.

Let's go.

Better hurry up

and get dressed... we're gonna
be there before you know it.

I'm gonna cry. I-I know I'm gonna cry.

Those soldier reunion videos
on YouTube always get me.

Every time.

Hi.

Glad you came.

I wasn't sure.

I thought I scared you off.

I really shouldn't have
sprung that on you like that.

I just, uh, I wasn't thinking.

Well, you were feeling.

You were speaking from your heart,

which is something
that I love about you.

Which brings me to
this. Merry Christmas.

Y-You don't want to wait till morning?

I don't want to wait another minute.

Bobby!

You offered me a key. So...

I don't want to take the next step.

I want to take every step, with you,

for the rest of our
lives. Marry me, Athena.

- Bobby.
- I know it might feel sudden and fast,

but we both know how life works.

- Yeah.
- Life is fleeting

and it's precious, and when
you find happiness and you find

somebody who fills your
heart, gives you hope

for the future and faith
in yourself, you have...

Bobby! Yes!

Yes?

Yes.

You really said yes.
It's a Christmas miracle.

Just put the damn ring on my finger.

- Mm. Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.

Dad!

Dad? Wake up!

It's Christmas!

Mommy! Mommy!

Oh! Merry Christmas, baby.

I missed you so much.

I knew Santa could do it again.

Okay, we've got turkey,
ham and six different sides.

Forget about the food.

- What you have here is taste!
- I mean,

I mean, I know they call diamonds rocks,

but this is a rock star.

I mean, is your hand tired?

'Cause I could help you carry that,

for a while, if you need a little help.

It is a promise
to Athena and her family

for a lifetime of happiness, love

and all the home-cooked
meals you can eat.

Oh, that's sweet.

But let's not forget it's
also a big damn diamond.

You got that?

- Yeah.
- All right.

- Merry Christmas.
- Ah. Thanks for inviting me.

I brought Christmas, and...
I brought congratulations.

Ah, thank you. Well,
you are always welcome.

Maddie didn't want to join us?

I think this year she needed
a different kind of Christmas.

- All right, well, come on in.
- All right. I'm excited.

Behold, I bring you good
tidings of great joy.

Chinese food and Die Hard,

the greatest Christmas movie ever made.

I'm sorry.

- About the tree. I shouldn't...
- Whoa-ho-ho.

Christmas is supposed to be
about feeling safe and warm

with the people you care
about; that's the gift.

What it's wrapped in doesn't matter.

Who needs a tree?

Well...

I decided I do.

I didn't steal it. Someone
left it on the sidewalk,

and I didn't have a lot of time,

so it's not perfect, but...

Well, who needs perfect?

It's, uh...

it's beautiful.

So what made you change your mind?

The holidays with Doug,
they weren't a celebration.

It was a performance.

You know, pretending to be a...
happy couple that had it all.

I just didn't want to pretend this year.

But then I realized that
he's taken enough from me.

I'm not gonna let him
take one more thing,

and I sure as hell am not
gonna let him take Christmas.

Last year was my worst Christmas ever.

But maybe also my best,

because that's the
day I decided to leave.

Now, that is a good
reason to deck the halls.

- Doug...
- Shh.

I know you tried so hard.

It just wasn't right.

It wasn't perfect.

You'll get it right.

Someday you'll get it right.
