Okay. See these three guys?

They're the wise men.

They were kings who came
and brought presents.

Well, only not like GoBots.

They brought gold
and frankincense

and myrrh.

What's myrrh?

It's like, um...

wine or something.

It's a spice.

What's Baby Jesus
gonna do with wine?

Oh, yeah, but he's got
lots of uses for a spice.

I think I like
the other crèche better.

You know, the one where
Joseph looks like Elvis?

Hey, what's this doing
in with the Christmas stuff?

Isn't that Kirsten's?

Yeah.

And these are her books

and her
Harry Belafonte CDs.

All this stuff
is Kirsten's.

Hey, put that away.

The UPS guy's gonna be here
in, like, seven seconds.

Why are you
sending her stuff away?

'Cause it's hers,

and it should be in Chicago
where she is and not here

where she's not.

Don't you think
maybe you should

take your time with this,
Charlie?

I mean, what's the rush?

The rush is the UPS guy's

gonna be pissed off
if he has to wait.

Or even worse, he'll just leave
without getting all this.

You know, maybe
what you should do

instead of shoving her stuff
out the door is let yourself,

I don't know,

feel this.

I mean, this is--

This is--

Sad.

Yes, it is sad.
But you know what?

It's also smart,

'cause I'm never gonna
start over if I start every day

taking my toothbrush
from her toothbrush holder

and end every night
setting her alarm clock.

Tell him to wait two minutes.

I really think that maybe you're
doing this too fast.

I'll tell you what.

Throw away the most important
thing you've ever had,

- then we'll talk.
- You'll have to wait two minutes.

Grandpa?

How's my little girl?

Great.

Oh.

Merry Christmas, kids.

I-I got a lot of stuff here.

So, uh, show me the way
to the tree.

♪ Everybody wants to live ♪

♪ Like they wanna live ♪

♪ And everybody wants to love ♪

♪ Like they wanna love ♪

♪ Everybody wants to be ♪

♪ Closer to free-ee-ee-ee ♪

♪ Closer to free ♪

What do you mean, no tree?

We wanted to go get one
in Charlie's truck,

but that would necessitate
Charlie actually being there.

As you saw, he's pretty much
Mr. Disappearing Act these days.

Where did that guy
run off to so fast anyway?

The restaurant.

He pretty much spends
all of his time there now.

Why? He's not having
business problems, is he?

More like personal ones.

He had a pretty rough fall.

Kind of took the holiday
spirit out of him.

Oh.

Well, what about Bailey?

Ha. I can't even remember

the last time I saw Bailey.

He's got his own place now.

You know, college and all.
And, frankly,

he's kind of
in a bad way too, so...

So the guys are in a funk,

and you two are just gonna give
up on Christmas. That's it, huh?

Well, I mean, it's not like
we have much of a choice.

Even with the few
decorations up,

the house is still
really depressing

with everyone gone.

Maybe we should just
bag the whole thing.

Let the rest of the world
celebrate Christmas,

and we'll just have Wednesday.

Oh, no, nothing doing.

I brought a lot of darn nice
Christmas gifts here.

But first, they've gotta
sit under a Christmas tree.

So come on, let's get our coats
and get going.

- You too, kiddo.
- Where are we going?

We're gonna march down
to that lot

I saw at the base of the hill.

We're gonna pick out the
finest-looking Christmas tree

we can find, and then we're
gonna drag it back up the hill

to the house.

Callie?

You still here?

Okay. I'm gone.

My checks for rent and phone
are on the mantel.

Send them. Bye.

Yeah, lot of warmth there.

Bailey, are you there?

I'm leaving for the airport,
and I just thought...

I don't know that
we should talk before I go.

Okay, maybe I'll try back. Bye.

It's me.

When are you coming home? Call.

Bye.

Okay. Now we're really leaving,

I just thought I should
wish you a Merry Christmas

and vice versa, but--

Okay. I'm-- I'm coming.

Okay. I gotta go.

Bye.

Bailey, there's some stuff
going on over here,

and we
could really use you around.

So call.

Bailey, it's Claudia-- JULIA: I just called him.

Oh.

Well, call already.

Bye.

Now, how's that?

Mm. A little bit this way.

I'll get it.

Merry Christmas.

Stuart, what is this?

I can't say.
You gotta open it.

Carefully. It's fragile.

You got this for me?
Yeah.

I thought real hard
about what you'd like,

and, well, let's just say
I think I did pretty well.

Oh, I-- I gotta go.

I'm helping my mom
deliver latkes to our friends.

Man, I wish I could stay
to see your expression

when you open it.

Wow.

Someone's trying
to impress you.

Impress me?

Why?

You--? You think
he bought me this because...?

Because...?

Stuart has got a crush.

No.
Yeah.

No, no, no, no, no.

He can't. No.

I-I don't want him to.
I-I don't like him like that.

I barely like him not like that.

I mean, what am I gonna do?

Easy. Just make sure
the gift you give him

tells him how you feel.

I'm not gonna buy him a present.
He'll think I like him back.

Not if it's
a totally impersonal,

completely pro forma gift
that doesn't mean anything.

Where do you learn this stuff?

Who do you have to know
to get a drink around here?

Hey, Jake,

what can I get for you?

Oh, I'll have a beer.

I figured this might be
my last chance to talk to you.

You ran out of the house
so fast this morning.

Yeah. It's, uh...

It's crazy around here. Heh.

We're all involved
in this homeless shelter,

and I just decided
to do a New Year's party

for the first time ever.

Well, it's nice to stay busy
when you got the blues.

Claudia told me

about what happened
with your girlfriend.

I-I'm sorry about that.

Your sisters

miss having you
around the house, Charlie.

They can handle it.

Don't you think
you oughta head back there

just for a while?

Look, I-I know you're probably
trying to help here,

but doing
this whole Christmas thing--

It's just making me feel
kind of...

stuck right now.

So I oughta butt out, huh?

Yes, please.

I gotta-- I just-- I gotta
focus on new stuff now,

get new interests, find new
places to put my energy.

'Cause if I do that,
then I'll be able to start over,

you know, and I won't spend
the rest of my life

paying for one mistake.

I mean, you know
how this is, right?

You made a big mistake
and got past it.

Oh, did I get past it?

Yeah, in some ways,

maybe I did.

Yeah.

But in other ways, no.

Well, I'm sorry about that.

That's not gonna happen to me.

Bailey.

Oh, man.

What are you doing?

What does it look like?

Like you're working out
at 7:00 at night

in the middle of vacation.

It's 7?

No way. Yeah.

Why? How long
you been here?

I don't know. Since 4.

You know, most freshmen
are home right now,

eating decent meals,

getting a good night's sleep
for a change.

Yeah?

More power to 'em.

You do have a place to go,
right? Like your family's?

Yeah.

I do. I'm just not going.

So, what are you
gonna do for vacation?

You're looking at it.

At least it's good
for me, right?

Actually, it's not.

Students who don't step away
from this place now and then

end up climbing clock towers
with high-powered rifles.

Come on, get out of there.

Why don't you
come to my place tomorrow?

I'm gonna watch the game.

I don't think so.

Oh, that wasn't a request.

Kickoff is at 2:00.

I'll see you then, huh?

What about this one, O?
The Night Before Christmas.

Ah.

You want Grandpa
to read it to you, huh?

Oh, is that what he wants?

Are you gonna read it?

Well, I-I'll tell you what.

I-- I gotta
be heading out.

But, wait.
Wh-where you going?

I'm going back to L.A.

Ugh. Come on, I mean,
just don't leave.

Yeah, you should stay.

It's just starting
to feel like Christmas.

Oh, it is, huh?

Well, I guess I could

stay a little.

Of course you can.

So take the book and read it
to Owen like he asked.

Oh, now, wait a minute.
I don't know about that.

No, no, see,
you can't say no. House rules.

House rules?

Then, uh, I guess I better.

Yes, ahem, here we are.

'Twas the night before Christmas

And all through the house

Not a creature was stirring

Not even a mouse.

The, uh, children

Were tucked

In their--

- Nestled.
- What?

- Beds?
- Nestled.

Nestled all tight
In their beds,

While visions of sugarplums

Danced in their heads.

Uh, Mama in her kerchief,

And I in my cap...

Mama in her kerchief...

and I in my cap...

Oh, no.
I rose from my bed

To see what was the matter.

You're on the wrong page.

Oh, oh.

So I am.

Yeah.

So I am. Yeah.

See, these guys
know how to spend Christmas.

Play a little ball,

toss back a few beers,
call it a day.

No caroling,

no yule log.

I'm impressed, Bailey.

It usually takes people
35 years to work up

a good holiday malaise.

I've always been very precocious.

That's how I ended up
at State.

Uh-huh.

Hey, that's coming along.

Yeah.

Mandy has one
at her mom's in Connecticut

we made before the divorce.

I figured if she had one here,

it would feel more like home,
you know?

- Hold that, will you?
- Yeah.

I just hope she
hasn't outgrown it.

It's hard to know
when you only see her

a few times a year.

How old is she?

Eleven.

Yeah?

I have a sister who's 13.

Claudia.

Does she still like
dollhouses?

Nah, no way.

Oh, but she only just
outgrew 'em.

Really recently.

Hm.

It's crazy, you know.

You feel like there's so much
riding on a stupid present.

Th-that should be dry.

What do you mean?

Well, you know,

what if she hates it?

What if she looks at it

and thinks I don't know her
at all?

What if she's right?

He wasn't even
on the right page.

He probably just figured
he knew the poem by heart,

and then he forgot.

Uh-uh.

I mean, did you
see his face?

He looked--
He looked scared.

Maybe he was just confused.

You know, that happens
to old people sometimes,

but it's totally normal.

So you really--?

You really don't think
we should worry about it?

No. No, not at all.

But Stuart's gift
on the other hand...

Hey.

Perfect. Impersonal, yet fun,

distant, yet good-humored.

Cheap, yet cheap.

Hey, do you wanna
send a message or don't you?

I'm gonna have it
gift-wrapped.

Paper and no bow.
Hee-hee!

Sorry about the overflow.

Things get kind of crazy
around Christmas.

It's okay, I just wish somebody
from the office told me.

I would've made sure
there was enough.

There is no one at the office.

They cut our funding
for a secretary.

Welcome to non-profit.
Ho-ho.

What a world, huh?

Yeah.

You try and do a good thing,
you try and be a decent citizen.

Hi. I'm, uh, Charlie.

Only businessman in town

that treats me
like a respectable man.

You bet I'll shake your hand.

So, uh...

I take it
you're having a rough time.

Yeah. So are the Bosnians.

So are the Kurds.
Everybody's got it rough.

Who's Pete Terry to complain?

What right does Pete Terry
have to a better life?

Hey, you know what? Every right.

You don't know that.

For all you know,
I could be a felon.

For all you know,
I coulda sold drugs

to make cash
after I got laid off.

Is that true? Did you do that?

Ten years with
a pharmaceutical concern.

You think you're secure.
Then bam, "See you."

Four months severance.

Four months later, the dealer's
the only one hiring.

Bam, arrested.

Bam, convicted.

Two and a half years.

Well, now I'm out,

but who's gonna hire me?

I bet lots of people would.

I mean, you did your time.

It doesn't matter.

It's a one-strike game
we're playing here, Charlie.

I swung, I missed.

You sure do take your time
unwrapping things.

No, it's--
It's done so beautifully.

I don't wanna
ruin your work.

Oh, no, no, no.
I didn't do it.

The-- The guy
at the store did.

Are you kidding?
That costs a fortune.

No.

No, no, no.
See, it was, uh--

It was free.

You got me this.

Um, y-y-y-yeah.

But--

How did you know
I collect these?

I got the epoxy
for you.

They had two.

I tried calling,
but your phone was busy

for, like, forever,
so I just took a guess.

She's not coming.

What?

She's not coming.

A big snowstorm
on the east coast

shut down the airports.

That's why I was on the phone.

Well, it has to be better
by tomorrow

or the next day, right?

Oh, she was only gonna
be here for three days.

Her mom's taking her

to the Caribbean
right after Christmas.

Oh.

Eh, so I'll see her
in the spring.

It's only a few months.

You know what?

I'm still not doing anything.

Why don't--? Why don't we
do something...

tomorrow?

Like, I don't know,

go see a hockey game
or something?

Ah, it's okay, Bailey. I know
you got stuff you wanna do.

Yeah. I wanna go to a game.

I think the Sharks
are playing.

There's probably
some seats left.

What do you say?

What time is face-off?

You like 'em?

Sure.

Whoo. They're thick.

Figured you were, uh, a 34,
is that about right?

Well, it depends on
how they fit, waist or hips.

I have wider hips 'cause I took
female hormones when I was a kid

as an experiment,
a medical experiment.

It's a study
in hormonal inversion.

I also grabbed you
a couple shirts

so that when you
go on an interview,

you'll look like somebody
who has his act together.

I don't have
any interview.

Aha.

Yet.

Classifieds.

We're gonna sit here,

figure out which ones
you should go up for.

Nobody's gonna
give me a job.

Hey, listen, you walk in there

dressed right
with a positive attitude

and they're gonna see someone
who wants to make a new start.

And they're gonna
wanna help you.

People do get second chances.

So...

Hey, Jake.

Oh, hi.

I, uh, got you a present.

Oh, no. No present
before the big day.

No. I-it's not
a Christmas present.

Oh.

It's not a Christmas
present, huh?

Here,
just press the top.

Twelve a.m.

I saw you having trouble

finding your watch
this morning.

I wasn't having trouble.

That and the book.

You're having trouble
seeing, huh?

No. I'm okay.

Well, I'm an old man.

I've got old eyes.

I'm gonna take you
to a doctor.

I have a doctor.

He's a very good doctor.

I'm okay.

This is...

what they call
a degenerative thing.

That's the term.

De... generative?

Y-you mean,
you're going blind?

Yes, I will be going blind.

Oh.

God, I'm, uh...

I'm sorry.

I'm okay now.

Hey, I can manage the stairs.

I travel, planes, buses.

There's no problem
at all.

Now, listen.

I don't want you to tell
the other kids about this thing.

I don't want them
treating me like an invalid.

Okay.

And don't you be sad.

I've lived a long time.

And I've seen, uh,

so many beautiful things

in this life.

And I have them
all filed away,

alphabetically.

And now I have a new one

u-under C.

Christmas

with my grandchildren.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

He's going blind?

Yes.

How do you even know this?

Have you seen him?

God, Bailey,
have you even listened

to your messages lately?

He's here.
He's staying with us.

I'm sorry. I just--

I've had some other
stuff going on.

But, okay.

Okay, I'll stop by,
and I'll say hi.

Oh, great.

Another one of your
drive-bys.

Well, what do you want from me?

I want...

Look, I'm all alone
in this, okay?

I can't talk to Claudia.

And Charlie is at work
all the time, so--

So I want you to come home
for Christmas.

I'm not doing Christmas
this year.

Get over yourself, Bailey.

Our grandfather is going blind.

How hard can it be
to spend a little time with him?

I'm not saying it's hard.
I'm just--

I'm busy, actually.

I happen to have someplace else
I have to be.

Okay, Bailey, look,

I know you really wanna
check out right now.

But Jake is family.
So whatever else you have to do,

I think you should cancel it
because this is more important.

- You're late.
- Late for what?

I'm just dropping by to see,
uh, if you have any food

you want me to
take back to the shelter.

Heh. Yeah. Sure.

I'm sorry, Xander, I--
I thought you were Pete.

Pete Terry?

Yeah. I'm, uh,

helping him get a job.

Some people already called
to set up interviews.

Are you sure
that's such a good idea?

I mean, considering his history.

Hey, the guy only
made one mistake.

People can change.

They can realize
where they went wrong

and turn their lives around.

Yeah. Sure, Charlie.
No argument.

It's just that, uh,
it's different

when you're talking about
a schizophrenic.

A what?

Pete's a schizophrenic.

The state gives him medication,

which he usually sells.

But when he's off it,

reality's kinda nebulous.

Pete.

Um, where--?

Where are
the clothes we got?

I can't wear 'em now.

They make me too conspicuous.
They're in a safe place.

In a little while,
I'll get 'em. I'll come to work.

But not now.
They make me too conspicuous.

Stuart.

It's a thank-you note.

- You couldn't mail it?
- What? This time of year?

We'd be lucky if you
got it by New Year's.

Wanna know what it says?
I--

"Dear Claudia, thank you
for the thoughtful gift.

"I am moved by the care
you took in selecting it.

"Looking forward
to our future

"with anticipation.

"I remain yours truly,

Stuart."

Look, Stuart,

you're a nice guy,

but there isn't going to be
any future for us.

I mean,
I-I don't like you like that.

But that gift...

Was supposed to be impersonal.

I mean, how was I supposed
to know that

that would mean something?

I mean, what kind of a person
collects those things?

My kind.

Oh, I-I'm-- I'm sorry.

Th-that came out wrong.
I didn't mean--

And here I thought
you were this nice person.

- I am nice.
- No, you're not.

A nice person
doesn't lead people on

and then squash their hearts
like a bug.

I never led you on.

Oh, right.

Like I just imagined
the whole thing.

Hey, come on in.

I'm just nuking up
a Hungry-Man dinner here.

Thanks.

I-I got another one
I could heat up for you.

It only takes seven minutes.

We'll still have plenty of time
to make it to the stadium.

Yeah, um,

about that.

I can't go.

I'm actually
heading home.

Home?

- You mean, family home?
- Yeah.

It turns out

there's some stuff
going on there

that I should...

Anyway.

I said I'd go.

Oh, sure. I understand. That's--

But I feel really bad
about this.

You know, I mean,

we said we were gonna do this.

Oh, no, no.

No sweat.

It's Christmas Eve. You should
be with your family.

Um, that's my dinner.
I gotta...

Listen, you tell
your family I wish them

a very Merry Christmas, huh?

He's gonna come sliding
right down there

with a big bag of presents
to leave in the house.

No.

What do you mean, "no"?

O-oh, yes, he will.

You wait and see
and tomorrow,

all these stockings will be
full of presents left by him.

Okay.

We got moo shu.
We got kung pao.

We got potstickers.

Traditional
Christmas Eve dinner.

Around here it is.

Uh, Julia, you didn't need
to do that.

Yes, I did.

'Cause a stocking's
what you hang at Christmas

to say,
"This is where I belong."

And you belong here.

Oh, no, kids.

I don't belong here.

I just came by
to leave a few presents

and spend a little time
with you,

but, um...

But, uh, this is, uh--

This is-- This is your home,
not mine.

Well, I-I guess
what we're saying

is we like having you around
this time of year.

And that it would
be nice

if you were here
next Christmas too.

Right, Bay?

Yeah.

That would be...

That would be good.

And the one after that.

We'll do it just like this,
every single year.

No matter what.

Charlie?

When did you get back
from the restaurant?

Um...

half an hour ago, maybe.

So, um, what was going on
down there?

Lots of busy holiday stuff?

I don't know.

What do you mean?

You were-- You were there.

Yeah.

I just don't know
what's going on.

We're doing the tree downstairs.

Bay was gonna do the lights,

but I told him not to

'cause I know
you love to do them.

It's okay. He can.

No.

It's your job.

And if someone else does it,

it'd be like saying

that you're not here.

And you are.

Right?

Yeah, Claud,

I'm here.

So come downstairs.

Come downstairs
and do the lights.

The address

is 33-24 Broadway.

Listen, t-tell your driver

not to honk, please.

I-I'll be waiting for him.

Thanks.

Man.

Thought I had
bad staying power, but you...

I'm not running away
from anything, Charlie.

Right.

Okay. That's what I'll tell
Claudia in the morning.

See you, Jake. It's been real.

Charlie, wait a minute.

I've got an appointment

that I must keep.

I never intended staying.

I've stayed

two days too long already,

and-- And now I've simply
gotta leave.

What kind of appointment
could you possibly have

on Christmas morning?

It's an appointment
for chemotherapy.

What?

Treatment for cancer.

Jake, God, um...

I'm sorry.
God, what I just said--

Don't let it worry you.

You were only trying
to stick up for the kids.

You were doing just fine.

Let us help.

We're-- We're family.

I don't wanna
play that card.

If I'd been around

all the time

and had really been
a member of the family,

it'd be a different story but--

That's not the way
it works, Jake.

Claudia was just...

so excited to have you here.

Oh, I think she can handle it.

I know she can handle it...

better than losing me
little by little.

Don't you think so?

Well, that's the answer.

Now, don't feel bad about this.

But listen, maybe you think

that I don't love those kids.

I'm gonna tell you, I do.

I love them.

And I love you.

I love you all.

Julia, is this from you?

Hm? What?

Santa Claus?

Oh.

"This belonged to my mother,

"your great-grandmother.

"She was a great music lover
and would be happy to know

"it was being worn
by her great-granddaughter,

"the violinist.

"Merry Christmas.

Love, Grandpa."

Ungh. Why is there no coffee
in the machine?

We ran out. Bailey went
to get some, like,

six hours ago. Where's he
buying it, Columbia?

- What'd you get?
- Another candy cane.

Another candy cane?

I'm gonna go wake him up.

Wait.

I just said
he went to get coffee.

Not Bailey. Grandpa.

I mean, I'm sure
he doesn't wanna sleep

- throughout the whole day.
- No, Claud, wait. Hang on.

Um, he's not there.

What? Well, where is he?

He's, uh...

He had to go,

early this morning.

- Wait, he left?
- Candy cane.

Yeah. He didn't want to, though.

Um, he--

Last night he--

I guess he started thinking
about his daughter.

And he thought that maybe since
he was here on Christmas Eve,

he should be there
on Christmas Day.

But...

why didn't he say anything?

Like I said, it--

It didn't occur to him
until late last night.

So...

So he just...

walked away?

After everything we did for him.

I'm sure he didn't want to,
Claud. Uh--

See, my sisters
always bitch about me

watching the game
on Christmas.

But with you here, that's like
part of your job, right?

- I mean, you have to watch.
- Leave me out of it, huh?

Charlie, Julia, Owen,

this is Russ Petrocelli,
my coach.

Hi.
He's gonna be

- hanging out with us today.
- Hey.

If it's all right with you.

Well, can you cook?

I can peel and chop things.

Good enough. Follow me.

Only until kickoff.

What do you want now, Stuart?

Um, well, I'm here to apologize.

Look, y-y-y-you didn't
lead me on.

And you're not a mean person.

I only said those things
because I was ashamed.

And now even more ashamed
because I said those things,

and I'm-- I'm really sorry,
and I feel really stupid,

and I just think that we--Enough, Stuart.

Apology accepted.

Really?

Phew.

Well, okay.

So we can be friends again?

Yeah.

Why not?

Great.

You know, I--
I couldn't help noticing

all the cooking going on
in the kitchen.

Yeah, you know.

Christmas dinner
is kind of a big thing.

Turkey, hot cross buns.

Stuff like that.

Really? How interesting,

uh, y-you know, culturally.

Hey, Stuart.

I have an idea.

Why don't you stay?

- Is it halftime?
- No.

Called time out to cart some guy
with a concussion off the field.

I like your coach.

Even if he lied
about being able to chop.

That was a nice thing you did

asking him here.

I only did it
'cause I had to.

That's not true.

You did it
'cause you're a good guy.

Okay.

Look, let's be honest here,
Jule, okay?

'Cause that's true,
and you know it's not true.

And in case you forgot
why it's not true,

why don't you give Sarah a call?
I'm sure she'll remind you.

Where the hell
is the bottle opener?

You know what, Bay?

I really think

that if you're gonna
punish yourself this hard

for the bad stuff you do,
you should at least

give yourself some credit
for the good things.

I mean, yeah,
you messed up with Sarah,

but like it or not,

you're still the kind of guy

who's not gonna let someone
spend Christmas alone,

and that's...

That's what?

I don't know.

But it's gotta be something.

Oh, I didn't know
you were out here.

I just--
It's okay. Hey.

What are you doing?

Just looking for someplace

where no one else is,
I guess.

How come?

I don't know.

It doesn't really feel
like Christmas in there.

No one wants to be here,

except Stuart.

It's not that I don't
wanna be here, Claud.

Right.

You're probably
just sitting there thinking

what your life would be like

if you didn't have to
take care of me and Owen.

You don't really
think that, do you?

I don't know.

Maybe.

I like taking care of you, Claudia.

I like dropping you off
at school.

I like hearing about what guy
you have a crush on.

I like taking you
to the dentist.

I like it all. I wouldn't trade
that for anything in the world.

Yeah.

But it doesn't
make you happy.

It's just...

not quite enough.

You know?

I mean, I love you.

But I guess I want a little more
out of life too.

And that's hard

because I was so close
to having that.

Marrying Kirsten
would have been much more.

Much more.

And it's not
like I wanna replace her,

'cause I know
that I'm never gonna have her

or anything like her again.

I just...

wouldn't mind something.

It doesn't even
have to be a big thing,

you know?

Just something small. Heh.

For me.

Looks nice, Julia.

Yeah, it does,
doesn't it?

Dinner's ready!

Oh, um,
we're short a chair,

so someone has to
take the piano stool.

Oh, I will.

This looks great, Jule.

Yeah, if we can sidestep
last year's salmonella incident.

Salmonella?

You had the flu.

It was the flu.

Right.

Well, should we,

I don't know,
say a blessing or something?

We could.

Amen.

- Amen.
- Amen.

Amen.

That was very good.

Want some of this, O?

Grace.
Charlie,

I-I thought you were in Chicago.

I was.

But, uh, now I'm home.

Alone?

Yeah.

Well, no. I mean,
my family's here,

but, um--
But I'm alone, yeah.

Oh.

Well, I'm sorry.

Well, I don't, uh--

I don't wanna keep you.
I just wanted to bring this by.

It's cranberry bread.

Merry Christmas.

Oh, wow.

- Grace, thanks.
- Oh, it's nothing.

It's just something small.

Listen, um, can you come in?

We're just sitting down
to dinner.

Oh, that's nice.

But I've--
I've already eaten.

That's okay.
I won't tell anybody.

What do you say
we give it a spin, huh?

Here you go.

Woo, you wouldn't know where
those wrenches are, would you?

Mrs. Reeves, hi. It's Bailey.

Thanks. You too.

Is Sarah there?

Hi.

I just wanted to wish you
a Merry Christmas.

Thanks.

I'm sorry I didn't call sooner.

Um, things have been
kinda hectic around here.

Yeah.

Yeah. Not bad.

How about you?

How's everything
in Florida?

You look so cute.

Uh, actually, that's my dad
when he was little.

Wow, you really take after him,
don't you?

Maybe. I don't know.

Who's that playing?

Stuart.

Really? For a first-timer, he's
really embracing the holiday.

Hey, as long as
he's not embracing me,

I'm not complaining.
