Congratulations! You
are officially the owner

of your very own condo!

I can't believe
this is happening!

You wanted to be
a homeowner by 35,

so it's what we had to do.

Thank you, Eva. Really.

All I did was point
you to the right home.

Give yourself some credit.

Plus, this is a really
busy time of year for you.

It must take a lot of work
organizing the Christmas Fair.

It's a labor of love.

Speaking of which,
will I see you there?

Absolutely! I wouldn't miss
it. I'll bring my niece!

I hope so.

- Merry Christmas!
- Merry Christmas, Yolanda!

Oh! You're forgetting one thing.

And...

Sold.

- Congratulations!
- Thanks!

Just closed on another condo?

Uh, you tell me.

Another sale?

That's right! Condo on Maple.

Eva's on a roll.

She's rented 33 apartments
and sold 16 condos this year.

Wow! That's impressive.

I know I'm not in the
big leagues with you,

selling houses in the West End.

Well, I mean, not yet.

Keep it up and one day
you might get this.

Eva: Realtor of the Year?

Don't worry. I've got
space in my coffee bar

- for when I win it this year.
- Bring it on.

Also, I just sold this.

Is this the four-bedroom,
three-bath on Wallgrove?

Mmm. We got a great price.

- Hey, Mitch.
- Mitch!

Did you finally buy a home?

No, no, colonial
is not my style.

As for these,

I don't like that this
one has a detached garage.

Don't like that
this one is gothic

and I don't like the
shutters on this one.

They're too bland.

Well, shutters can be replaced.

Oh, if I'm finally
gonna buy a house,

I don't want to have to fix
or replace or change anything.

You know, Jeff, if Mitch is
too much for you to handle,

I am happy to take him on.

I've got everything under
control, but thank you.

We'll find you
the perfect place.

It doesn't matter
how long it takes.

Yeah, well, don't take too long.

I'm not getting any
younger. Thank you.

Jeff: Oh, okay.

I've got an inspection
to do on Douglas,

- so I'll see you all later.
- Good luck!

Bye.

If Mitch was my client,

he'd be two years into
his mortgage by now.

Oh.

Hey, Carrie, who's got
the most commission

between Eva and me
so far this year?

That would be...

- Jeff.
- Hmm.

By a hair.

Oh, okay.

Well, I'm gonna go celebrate
my closing by writing

some more Christmas card
for my former clients.

Well, I'm gonna
celebrate my closing

by researching the
latest listings.

And I'll be here,

reading about the Real Estate
Settlement Procedures Act.

Hey. I'll get you a
cookie from Sammy's.

Guaranteed to help
you study. Promise.

Gotta see my niece,
but I'll see you later.

- Have fun.
- Thank you!

- Hello!
- Oh! Hey, Aunt Eva!

Sorry. I was knee-deep
in biology homework.

You talk to your parents today?

Yep! They miss me

but they're happy I'm getting
such a good education.

And that you have
a super cool aunt

that you get to
stay with, right?

Definitely!

Sammy: Triple shot oat
milk peppermint latte.

Thank you, Sammy!

So.

You got any plans
for the weekend?

Oh! Yeah.

Work, work, and a
little more work.

You know what? I was gonna
save this for Christmas,

but maybe you
should use this now.

Okay.

What is this?

It's an idea journal
for your next book.

Look, I know that you said
that you were taking a break

from writing or whatever,
but just because you have

a novel sitting in a
drawer, it doesn't mean

you can't start
on something new.

Bonnie!

What? Okay, I know it's
none of my business,

but your writing's so good.

Honestly, it's a crime
you're not sharing it.

I love it.

Thank you so much. It's great.

Things have just
been really busy,

so I think right now
the writing can wait.

But thank you.

Oh, shoot.

I... I gotta go.

I don't wanna be late
for my next class.

Oh, okay. Okay, go
learn all the things.

- Always.
- Eva: Bye.

Bonnie: Bye.

Special delivery.

- Oh!
- Crossword.

- Ah! Eee!
- And cookie.

Yes!

- Edible Christmas house?
- Mmm-hmm?

One, two, three,
four, five, six.

11 letters.

Gingerbread. Right?

Of course! Yeah.

Oh, hey! I know this
girl from spin class!

Eleni McGuinness and Tyler
Stack had their first kiss

under mistletoe purchased
Mountain Laurel Christmas Fair's

Merry Mistletoe Booth!

Becoming the 13th couple to
get married after sharing

their first kiss this way?

Wow!

We've gotta get some
of that mistletoe.

I've got other
things to focus on.

I don't!

Now that I'm single again,

I'm gonna get me some
of that mistletoe.

- Okay.
- I'm not ruling anything out!

I heard you!

Inaudible evening?

Silent night! Ah!

Is that the bell?

Oh! Hi!

Hello!

Hello, we're here
to see a realtor.

Of course! Who would
you like to see?

All of them!

Uh, it's really nice
to meet you both.

I'm Eva.

Oh, lovely to meet you as well.

I'm Kelly Greer and
this my husband, Frank.

And how can I help you?

Kelly: We want to sell our house
and we need to sell it fast.

Eva: Oh, you're in luck. Selling
houses quickly is my specialty.

So, how quickly do you
want to move on this?

Well, my brilliant has a sudden
job opportunity at Stanford

and we found the perfect house
that we want to buy there.

But in order to purchase it,
we need to sell our house here.

I mean, the bridge
loan depends on it.

So, we were hoping to have
everything settled by Christmas.

Wow! That is fast.

But not impossible.

Sorry, I don't
mean to interrupt.

I was just on the
way to get a coffee.

- Jeff Morgan.
- Ah!

Well, the more the merrier.

I mean listen, we realize that
this is not an ideal scenario,

so whatever advice you all
can give us is appreciated.

- Oh.
- Well.

I'm, uhh...

Well, I'm all ears.

Well, I was just telling the
Greers about my track record

when it comes to
selling houses quickly.

It's sort of my
area of expertise.

Yeah, Eva's great.

She sold 16 condos this year.

Where's your condo if
you don't mind me asking?

Oh, we actually have a
house. It's on Wallgrove.

Oh, you don't say.

Well, I just closed a house
on Wallgrove this morning.

The Tillmans.

Oh! They're a wonderful family.

They live right
across the street.

So, that's why they were dancing
in the driveway this morning.

You must have got
them quite the deal.

Well, I don't like to
talk in terms of "deals".

Customer satisfaction is
big for me and, I mean,

it was a good deal.

Sounds like it. How long was
that house on the market for?

Time was no problem
for the Tillmans.

They just wanted the best price
and that's what I got them.

The best price. That's
what I get all my clients.

Well, it would be
nice to have someone

who sold in our neighborhood.

I'll admit I haven't broken
into your neck of the woods yet,

but in addition to the
16 condos I've sold,

I have also rented 33
apartments this year.

A house like yours would be
a new opportunity for me,

but one that I am fully
equipped to handle.

She's right if you're
not worried about getting

the absolute best price, then
Eva might be a great fit.

Well, I mean, we are, we
are a little concerned

with the right price.

And Jeff can definitely
get that for you

under normal
circumstances, of course.

So, have you sold anything
this quickly before?

Well, not exactly,

but last year I did
sell the Preston Mansion

that was right next
to the train station.

Some people said that
it was unsellable,

but, well, I managed to get
a buyer to pay over asking

and if I can sell that,

I could definitely sell
yours in two weeks.

Two?

Hmm.

We look forward to
hearing from you,

whichever direction
you end up choosing.

You must be pretty
pleased with yourself.

Well, I don't know
what you mean.

Oh, no?

I didn't know you were
that desperate to get

Realtor of the Year again.

Eva, I'm hurt.

I didn't know you felt that way.

As potential clients of
Mountain Laurel Reality,

the Greers are entitled to
work with whichever agent

they feel, well,
works best for them.

You know what? It
doesn't matter.

The Greers are obviously
going to choose me.

And when I sell their house,

the commission will
put me in the lead.

And when they announce me as the
winner of Realtor of the Year,

it'll be all the sweeter.

But y'all should know you're
not the only two in the running.

I'm scheduling meetings
with Kristen, Rajvi, Luis,

and the Dream Team.

I hope the Greers don't
want to work with a team.

One is not the loneliest number,

it's the most productive.

Well, that we can both agree on.

I'm gonna get back to it.

I want this listing
so bad, Carrie.

A house on the West End.
It would mean I'm...

finally on the right path.

The Greers would be lucky
to have you too, you know.

Marco: Okay, "Poinsettias.
The Story Behind

Christmas' Most Famous Plant."

"A Brief History of
Flora and Fauna."

And "Ecosystems of
the North Pole."

Doing a research paper, Bonnie?

No, these are just
for some light reading

over Christmas break.

Mmm. So, you're a
reader like your aunt.

But are you a writer
like her, too?

No way. She's the creative one.

Of course.

- Customer: Excuse me?
- See you soon.

- Bye.
- Bye.

So. Did you scribble
down any book ideas

in your journal today?

I wish it were that simple.

I don't mean to pester you.

I'm just jealous. If I
could write as good as you,

I would never stop.

I mean, your book belongs here.

Not in some desk
collecting dust.

Which is crazy by the
way, going analog.

I've got it backed
up on a laptop.

Don't worry.

It's just nice actually feeling
your book in your hands.

You know?

Change of subject.

Can we get takeout
on the way home?

Oh, we should always get
takeout on the way home.

Ooh! And we have
another stop, too.

Okay. Let's go.

Every year I add a new
ornament to my tree.

Something special.

In 20 years from now, I
want to look at my tree

and remember that this
was the first Christmas

my brilliant, kind,

and somewhat nosey niece
came to live with me.

So, I want you to pick.

- It's perfect!
- Very you.

- That's right!
- Very you. Okay.

This is
gonna look so good.

And this is just the warm-up.

I'll take you to the tree
lighting at the Christmas Fair.

I want your first Christmas
here to be magical.

It already is.

Let's go!

Make a wish, Aunt Eva!

I wish for tickets
to ScienceCon.

What's ScienceCon?

It's this amazing
convention in New York

where all the top scientists
in different fields

lead workshops, lectures.

I've always wanted to
go, but it's pricey.

Okay, hint taken.

Okay, what do you
wish for, Aunt Eva?

Honestly, I just want
the Wallgrove listing.

- No!
- What? I do!

No! That is so boring!

I also wish for my Aunt Eva to
find happiness outside of work.

You don't need to make
your wish about me.

No! No! No! It's too late.

This is officially
your Christmas wish

and personally, I can't
wait for it to come true.

Okay.

Double cafe mocha?

Christmas party invitation?

Oh, I've never needed liquid
chocolate more in my life.

I failed my practice
test last night.

Hey, don't worry. I
failed so many of those.

You'll do better next time.

Also, study notes as promised.

Have I told you lately that
you're an amazing friend?

Who me?

Oh! Before you head back, you
should know the Greers are here.

That is just the good
news I was hoping for!

Just one thing. They
wanna talk to both of you.

They're in Jeff's office.

Oh.

Okay, we want you to
share the listing.

We were very impressed
with both of you,

but more impressed with what
pairing you up could mean.

We'd have your experience, Jeff.

And Eva's speed.

What do you say?

- Well.
- Yeah.

All right...
Take the afternoon.

Think about it and let us know.

We would love to work
with both of you.

- Great. Great. Thank you.
- Okay, yeah. Awesome.

- This is a lot.
- Hmm.

I'm not sure having a partner
is the best fit for me.

I'm used to working alone.

Well, hey, I'm not
crazy about it either.

That being said...

I think it might be a shame
just to let this slip away.

That's true.

Either neither of us get it

or we try to make
decisions together.

It's so crazy it
might just work.

Let's sell a house by Christmas.

Wow. It's beautiful.

Hmm. This should be easy.

Thank you so much for coming.

We're so excited to be
working with you both.

Oh, we're excited to be here.

Oh, don't mind the mistletoe.
We're just packing it up.

Would you like a tour?

We would love one. I
would actually love

to take notes, as
well, if that's okay.

Could I tempt you

with a homemade chocolate
brownie on our way through?

Oh, you most certainly can.

- Thank you.
- Help yourself.

Yeah, it looks beautiful.

Fresh out of the oven.

I'm volunteering at a bake sale.

Never a dull moment around here.

Shall we start with the garage?

Sure!

- Hmm.
- Yeah.

Great. Right this way.

- Wow.
- Yeah, it's a...

could use a bit of a tidy.

Sorry it's not more
festive in here.

With the move
catching us off guard,

we just weren't able to decorate
as much as we usually do.

And we thought you'd probably
want to stage it anyway,

so why bother putting
up Christmas decorations

you might not like.

Besides, we, uh,

we don't really have
the space right now.

Uh, about that.

Are the plants staying?

Oh, no! No, no, no. We're just
storing them here for now.

- Eva: Okay.
- We'll have them out

of the house soon.

Kelly grows them and then they
go out into the community.

Well, we
donate them to hospitals,

senior centers, schools,

and the rest we sell
at the Christmas Fair.

You operate the Merry
Mistletoe Booth?

That's us!

I just read about your
booth in the newspaper.

I can't wait to tell my
niece. She loves plants.

I also heard that you
two have a reputation.

Well, since we started
the booth 20 years ago,

13 couples who have
had their first kiss

under our mistletoe
have gotten engaged.

Wow.

Well, I suppose that we
focus so much on bringing joy

to other people's
homes that we've sort

of overlooked our own.

Well, Jeff and I are
happy to take that on.

If that's all right with you,
we can get more decorations

and make your home as festive
as possible for the open house.

- Oh! That's sounds great!
- Great!

Bring on the tinsel!

Agreed!

Why don't we kick things
off with a little cider?

I've got a whole
jug in the fridge.

Oh, wonderful!

I'm glad we're all
on the same page.

I'll get some more brownies!

Well, all I'm saying is
it would've been nice

to discuss this strategy
before implementing it.

I just assumed
you'd agree with me.

Well, of course I do,
but that's not the point.

I mean, we're a team, right?

I mean, if this is
actually gonna work,

we need to work together,
not just next to each other.

Okay.

I'm sorry. I am new to this.

Let's just say that from now on,

we discuss everything
before making any decisions.

You know, they might like these.

You know, I love that Kelly
grows her own mistletoe.

I know nothing about gardening.

Yeah, she's a pro.

A pretty famous
botanist apparently.

And how would you know that?

I'm a very
research-orientated guy.

Maybe that's why I've
won Realtor of the Year

so many times in a row.

Yeah, and probably why your
houses take so long to sell.

Well, what can I say?

Perfection is worth waiting for.

Well, um.

What about this for the cushion?

For the couch.

Okay, um.

Well, this for the armchair?

For the armchair.

I can see this whole
discussing every option

is just really
working in my favor.

Okay!

Make me a case for the blanket.

Well, okay.

It's fun.

It compliments the
style of the house,

but adds a little
bit of character.

It's the tiny things like
this that really help a buyer

just truly picture
this as their own home.

It goes a long way.

Okay, sure.

But while you're
focusing on one buyer,

I'm focusing on as
many as possible.

I don't want just
anyone to picture

this place as their home,

I want everyone to.

Which means, sadly,

that "character" is a liability.

Well, that's a bleak outlook.

It's a numbers game.

Well, fair enough, but
I know the neighborhood

and I know the type of people
that typically buy there.

I just think a strategy
that also takes this

into consideration
will benefit us.

It...

They kind of look nice together.

How difficult was that to admit?

I'm going to lose sleep over it.

Yeah, mmm-hmm.

Okay, well, the indoor
decor is taken care of.

Next stop, outdoor.

Yeah. Sounds good. All
right. Just these, please.

I figured I'll handle
the marketing outreach,

getting people to
the open house.

Yeah. That works.

Oh.

Uh, scratch that.

I totally forgot I've got
a parent-teacher conference

in, like, an hour.

Oh.

I had no idea you had kids.

Oh, I don't.

My niece is staying with me.

She got a scholarship to
Fernwood Science Academy.

She transferred at the
beginning of the school year.

Well, why don't you
go to the school

and I'll finish up here?

Are you sure?

Yeah. Of course.

Can't be everywhere at once.

It's just... I mean, there's
got to be some upside

to this partnership, right?

Right.

Okay.

Thank you.

Of course. Now, get out of here.

Okay. Thanks.

Hey, Benjamin.

Eva.

What can I get you today?

I'm actually picking
up some wreaths.

They should be
under "Jeff Morgan."

He placed the order yesterday.

Hey. This is one of my clients.

- Dr. Greer?
- Yeah.

Known her for years.

Been growing
mistletoe on the trees

in my back lot for
two decades now.

She does classes here?

Once a month.

When she's not off
doing botany research,

she teaches accessible
gardening crafts here.

Oh, wow.

I'll be sad to see her go.

- Sorry. Didn't mean to ramble.
- Not at all.

- You're here for some wreaths.
- Yes.

Uh, Jeff Morgan.

Here we go. A dozen
Christmas wreaths,

all bought and paid for.

- Oh, great.
- You're all set.

Is the box big enough for you?

Yes.

You want some help
out to the car?

I'm okay, Benjamin.
But thank you so much.

- You're welcome.
- Hey. Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Good morning.

Oh.

You're this chipper
outside of the office, too.

The magic of coffee.

I got you one, by the way.

Ooh. You are a Christmas angel.

Ready to Christmas
this place up?

I thought you'd never ask.

All right. Let's get to work.

Hmm.

No problem. This can go here.

Yes.

- Oh.
- No.

- Just...
- Hold on. Hold on.

- I just want this here.
- No. I got here first.

I know, but just
give it a moment.

Ready for the final touch?

Yeah.

Huh.

Nice work.

You, too.

Uh...

Uh...

Hey.

Oh. Yeah. The...

- There it is. Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.

Okay. So...

You, um...

Well, to be honest,

I don't really know what
I'm looking at here.

You know, every time my power
goes out, I just call Mitch.

Having a contractor as a
friend, you know, it's...

Take advantage of
it. It's a bonus.

Right.

Until you have to fix
something on your own.

You're not always going to
have someone to help you.

So...

You do plumbing, too?

A little.

- Impressive.
- Thanks.

I feel like we're missing
something in the living room.

I feel like we should honor the
Greers and put their mistletoe

front and center.
What do you think?

Yeah. Um, that's great.
I'll just grab the ladder.

Cool.

That looks beautiful.

I will say, it does
add a lot of character.

You in the mood for
some more cider?

Well, the Greers said to
have as much as we want,

so I think we should just make
it a commission. Don't you?

Yeah. I'll go heat it up.

You ever partnered
with someone before?

A few times. Never
really worked out.

We just didn't really see
eye-to-eye most of the time.

You ever wanted to try
the magic mistletoe?

You think I would leave

something as big as
marriage up to chance?

What about you?

It does seem like an
efficient way to meet someone.

But no. I...

I'm too busy selling condos
to make any time for all that.

What about before real estate?

I mean, you've only been
doing it a couple of years.

And no time for
romance, even back then?

Oh. That was even worse.

I didn't have a spare
minute in the day.

I was living in New York,
splitting my time between

writing ad copy and
working on my book.

What? You wrote a book?

That's amazing.

It's just sitting unpublished

in a drawer in my kitchen.

What's it about?

It's a mystery,
set at Christmas.

It's called...

Probable Claus.

Oh.

That's amazing.

Well, why would you be
embarrassed about that?

Because I spent years
writing a 400-page manuscript

and mapping out a
five-book series,

only to be rejected by every
publisher I sent it to.

I didn't have a life for years.

I've got nothing to show for it.

Besides a finished book.

I guess that's something.

Bonnie's trying to
convince me to write again.

She won't let it go.

She bought me...

this journal

to write ideas down.

Well, hey. I know it's
none of my business,

but I think she's right.

I'll make you a deal.

You start writing
ideas down in that

that have nothing
to do with work,

and I'll...

I'll think about
trying the mistletoe

at the Christmas fair.

I'll think about it.

Is there anyone you would...

want to buy the mistletoe for?

Uh...

no.

I haven't had that much
luck in that department.

Haven't seriously tried dating

for a few years.

Keeping yourself busy, too, huh?

Let's just say my heart's
sitting in a drawer

and leave it at that.

I get it.

I'm going to get a
refill. Do you want one?

No. I'm okay.

- Okay.
- Thanks.

Okay.

- Hey.
- What you doing?

I'm just... Work.

Hey. Do you feel like
gingerbread cookies

and a Christmas
movie? Because I do.

Um, yes. That sounds like
the perfect study break.

All right.

Triple-shot peppermint
oat milk latte?

I... You know, Sammy
said you'd like that.

She's right. Thanks.

- I didn't know you could draw.
- Yes. A hobby of mine.

When I got into real estate,

I started to sketch houses
during those long open homes,

and, well, I got the idea
I could gift it to clients

after their house sold.

- Incredible.
- Oh, not that difficult.

I can show you sometime.

Actually, can you go
stand next to that sign?

Okay.

Is here okay?

Perfect.

How long do I have
to stand here for?

Yeah. I'm almost done.

Hey! Whoa. Aren't you going
to show me your work of art?

Well, it's hardly a work of art.

It's just a doodle.

- Are you self-conscious?
- Very funny.

It's just a feeling I didn't
think you were capable of.

Jeff: Hey, Mitch. How'd we do?

- Eva: Hey.
- Not too bad. Hi.

They don't make houses
like this anymore.

Well, it could be yours
for the right price.

Uh, no, thanks.

A house like this would
be nothing but work.

Shoveling in the winter,
mowing in the summer.

Not quite the hassle-free
home I'm looking for.

Right, but what if the
right house comes along,

and you think too long on it,
and then it's off the market?

Okay. I'm going
to get out of here

before you start quoting
me mortgage rates.

- See you later.
- Bye, Mitch.

See you.

Shall we?

Sure. Yeah.

Well, we're all done.

The open house is
ready to go for Sunday.

Wow. Thank you both.

Looks like it's time for
a well-deserved break.

Why don't you check out
some of the festivities

at the Christmas fair?

Oh, I would love to.

It's just I've got a
little bit of work to do.

Work? I thought you
said you were finished.

Well, you've both
done such a great job.

Let's take a break.
Live a little.

Also, they have the best
peppermint hot chocolate

at the fair.

Sold.

You know, it might
be nice to unwind

after a long day's work.

I guess we have no choice.

Okay. Great.

- Hey.
- Hey.

I wasn't sure if your
text was a joke or not.

Yeah. Well, I figured a
little Christmas spirit

didn't hurt anyone.

Uh, Bonnie, this is Jeff,
my partner at Wallgrove.

And Jeff, this is
my niece, Bonnie.

Hey.

- Hi. Nice to meet you.
- Yeah.

So, you must have wished
for the listing, too?

Uh...

My aunt Eva, she made a wish

that she'd get
that 1838 listing.

Ah. Did she, now?

I don't remember
doing that, actually.

- Hmm. Oh.
- No. No, I don't.

So, what did you wish for?

Tickets to ScienceCon.

Oh, that's cool. I know
the headliner this year.

Wait. You know Stephen Butler?

- Yeah.
- Who's Stephen Butler?

Oh. He's a famous paleontologist

that graduated from
my high school.

How do you know him?

Well, his parents' property was
the first place I ever sold.

I mean, he was still a teenager.

Okay, Aunt Eva.

This is officially the
coolest man in town.

Yeah. That's true.

And the funniest and
the most handsome.

- Really?
- Speaking of which,

who's in the mood for
the festive photo booth?

Oh. Count me in.

Yeah. You guys go. I'll watch.

- Uh...
- What?

Where's your Christmas spirit?

My Christmas spirit is
not very photogenic.

Ah.

You're not supposed
to be photogenic.

That's the whole point.

Well, I'm pretty sure I saw
some former clients of mine,

so I think I'm going
to go say hi to them,

and I will see you
both in a few minutes.

Oh, okay.

You're not getting
off that easy.

Okay? We're not here to
meet clients or to network.

We are here to have fun.

So, you just have to trust me.

- But...
- Yes.

All right. We're doing this.

- Come on.
- Okay.

All right. We're
getting photos. Okay.

That's what we do? That's
what we do on Christmas? Okay.

Perfect.

That looks so good.

- Okay.
- Thank you.

Yes. Okay.

- Okay.
- Wait.

How do I look?

I think we're good.

- No.
- Yes, yes, yes!

Hold on.

It smells like...

Ah.

Next? This.

Yeah. Well, shall we get some
peppermint hot chocolate?

We'd love to.

Dr. Greer did say it's the best.

- Well...
- Mm-hmm.

- On the house.
- Thanks, Yolanda.

Saw your photo shoot out
there. You make a good team.

- Oh.
- Oh.

- Enjoy.
- Thank you.

You know, we should
bring Mom and Dad here

when they come to town.

- Oh, yeah. They would love it.
- Mm-hmm.

My sister and brother-in-law
are coming in on the 23rd

for a few days.

Hmm.

If you don't have any plans,

you're welcome to
join us for Christmas.

I'm sure he has plans.

Yeah. Well, my brother's going
on a cruise with his kids,

so Mitch and I were going to

watch football and
basketball all day.

Oh! Well, that's no
way to spend Christmas.

We have to have him over.

No. It's, uh... It's okay.

Maybe next time.

You know, this actually
is kind of fun.

- What?
- Well, see?

Told you you could trust me.

So, now do I get
to read your novel?

What?

Aunt Eva, you should let
him. It's really good.

She has this whole
series planned,

and I'm dying to know
what happens next,

if she would write them already.

Okay.

I will think about it.

Anyway, it's getting very late.

I happen to know a 16-year-old

with a very, very
important test tomorrow.

So, I think we should
go, if that's okay.

Yeah. No, hey. It's fine.

Okay.

Can you send me those pictures?

Yeah, sure.

Okay. Thanks.

Good night.

- 'Night.
- Bye, Jeff.

Jeff drew that?

Yeah. He did.

Looks like he put a
lot of love into it.

Would you stop?

Jeff: Okay. We got keys

for Deanewood
Crescent, Brin Drive,

and Heywood Avenue.

Three home inspections
in one morning?

Mm-hmm.

Seems like you're
really on a roll.

Well, can't complain.

Neither can I.

When business is good for
you, it is good for me.

So, what do you think?

Another realtor-of-the-year
award in your future?

Haven't really thought about it.

Just happy to be busy.

Mm-hmm. And how are
things on Wallgrove?

Great.

I'm pretty confident
it's going to sell.

You know, that's
not what I meant.

Well, I don't know
what you mean.

- I think you do.
- Well, what do you mean?

- Fine. I'll spell it out.
- Okay.

How are things with Eva?

Uh, it's... Well, it's good.

We are... I mean, we're
great business partners.

Business partners?

Even after the Christmas
festival on Friday night?

You can deny it all you want.
That was a date, my friend.

So, you have fun?

Well, it was...

it was fun.

"It was fun?"

Well, I'm happy for you.

I mean, you and Eva

have been practically
attached at the hip.

I haven't seen you
spend this much time

with a woman since...

since Laura, you know?

Well, it's because we
have to work together.

Let's not make this a big thing.

Yep. Message received.
Not a big thing.

Not a big thing. But
if it were a big thing,

- I just want you to know...
- Oh, boy.

I just want you to know
that I'm supportive.

You know? I mean, not all of us

are lucky enough to
have a woman like Eva

just kind of fall into
our lives like that.

Hey. Hey.

- Oh. Uh, Eva.
- Eva: Hi, Mitch.

It's Eva.

Well, I just saw
your office light on.

I was grabbing some
stuff on the way home.

Are you guys busy?

No. No, no. I just came
by to grab some keys

for inspections
tomorrow morning.

Eva: Oh.

Well, I should head
home and get to bed.

Get some sleep, you know?

It's, like, 8:00 p.m.

Yes. Yes, it is,

but, um, you know, early
to bed, early to rise.

Oh.

So, have a good night.

- Okay. Well, good night, Mitch.
- Thank you.

'Night.

He's... diligent.

Yes. Committed to his job. Um...

Wow. Not bad.

Was that another one of
your clients' houses?

Oh, no. It's actually
the house I grew up in.

My family and, we I used to

decorate it like
that every Christmas.

I actually...

That's the first
picture I ever drew.

I drew it straight from memory.

- What's up?
- Right.

Well, I was thinking about
the open house tomorrow.

And I'd love to do
something special.

Well, like a more
personal touch?

You know, when people walk
in, it just feels like home.

What about, like, a
hand-drawn welcome sign?

Like, a homemade
drawing of a house

just next to the sign-in sheet?

Yeah, yeah. I
think that's great.

Do you think you can do that?

- Sure.
- Great.

Well, I think we could do that.

You're funny. I don't draw.

Nonsense. Like, I
can show you how.

Jeff: Well, I told you
you'd get the hang of it.

You did most of it.

I did do the letters, though.

Different strengths
make a great team.

Yeah. I agree.

My sister and I used
to do arts and crafts

the first day of Christmas
break when we were kids.

Where does she live?

She's in Seattle.

Oh. Is that where you grew up?

Yeah.

But I wanted to move to New York

and become the next
Agatha Christie.

I love Agatha Christie.

Bet I'd love your book, too.

It's hard to share
something that has been

rejected so many times.

Just it's a lot of hard work

for something that will
never see the light of day.

Well, you know, I
don't sell my drawings,

but I still think it's
worthwhile doing them.

It's the process that's
fulfilling enough.

So, I should be writing
even if nobody's reading?

Aren't you somebody?

Write for you.

And me. I'll be your reader.

Thanks.

Well, thank you so
much for coming.

Please head through
to the kitchen.

Thank you so much. Thanks.

The land use controls
and regulations section

is still really tripping me up.

But if I get to sell
houses like this one day,

it'll all be worth it.

Yeah. It will be. Promise.

So, it seems to be
going well with Jeff.

Oh.

Yeah. Surprisingly.

Hmm?

I know at first, he was

a lot to deal with.

But I think I'm just
warming up to him.

It's also nice to
have a partner.

It gets really exhausting
doing everything on your own.

It probably doesn't hurt that
he's also really attractive.

I knew it. You like him!

I don't.

I don't like him.

I am just not denying
that he's attractive.

Okay, but how does he
make you feel? Seriously.

I don't know. Just...

calm, and I like I can...

slow down and be myself.

Mm-hmm. That's like a
sweet, fuzzy little blanket.

Oh.

- Hey. Hey. Great.
- Hey.

I'm... Wow. The most crowded
open house I've ever seen.

Yeah.

Hey, I'm getting some traction
with that couple over there.

I just want to get
your take on it.

What do you think? Tag team?

Yeah.

Okay.

Yeah.

Okay.

- This is great.
- This is amazing.

Oh. I...

It's a fantastic offer
from a nice couple,

and they're motivated
to close quickly.

We gave you quite the challenge,

and it looks like
you pulled it off.

Well done.

It was a team effort.

So, you ready to move forward?

If you both think that
this is the right move,

then we trust you.

Is everything all right, Jeff?

Yeah.

Well, no. I...

I don't think you should
accept this offer.

You don't?

I think there's a
better one out there,

and if we wait, it will arrive
before Christmas. I just...

Honestly, I think you
should reject this one.

Oh.

- Okay, you guys.
- Well, think about it.

- All right. Thank you.
- Thank you. Talk to you soon.

Yeah. Appreciate your honesty.

- Absolutely.
- We have a lot to discuss.

Well, I wish you had
talked about it with me

before just blurting that
out in front of our clients.

I thought we agreed
this was a good deal.

I know, and I'm sorry.
But after sleeping on it,

I just don't want them to accept
an offer they would regret.

I just... It's good, but I
think there's a better one.

We just have to wait.

Look. Trust me.

I appreciate that you have
more experience than me,

but the Greers
brought me in on this

because I move fast.

We're supposed to be
equal partners here,

and I guess you just
don't see me that way.

Carrie, can you please let
the leasing office know

that I'll be in Palmer
Estates as soon as possible?

- Yeah. Sure.
- Great. Thank you.

Well, the Con sold out.

The day just keeps
getting better.

Did I screw up?

This might be bad
timing, but secret Santa?

Yes. Great working
with you, too.

Merry Christmas.

Okay. Bye.

Triple-shot peppermint
oat milk latte.

Is it okay if we
talk for a minute?

Sure.

Still upset with me?

This helps.

Well, does...

this help, too?

ScienceCon? These are sold out.

Well, I told you, the
headliner and I go way back.

They came in last night.

That's really nice of you.

I'm happy to help.

Hey. I'm really sorry
about yesterday.

I should've discussed
it with you first.

The reason I reacted...
Well, can I sit?

- Yeah. Of course.
- Yeah. Okay.

You remember when you
asked if I had taken a girl

to the Greers' mistletoe booth?

- Mm-hmm. Yep.
- Right? When I was growing up?

Well, uh, five years ago,

the girl I was seeing,
Laura, I, uh...

Well, we had only been
together a year, and...

I was crazy about her. I...

I had heard about the mistletoe,

and I bought some
and hung it up,

and we kissed under it.

Later that night...

I proposed.

Oh, no.

Yeah. She, uh...

She did not feel the
same way, it turns out.

After she left, I decided

I was never going to
put myself out there

unless it was a sure thing.

Mm-hmm.

I think some of that
hesitation spilled into my work

at some point, and that's...

That's why I'm sorry. I...

I...

That colored my
decision, and I just...

Well, instead of
talking to you about it,

I just blew the whole thing up.

It's okay.

I appreciate you telling me.

Well, you deserve an
explanation. I just...

You're really great
at this, and I...

Well, we're a team.

I think we can find
a happy middle ground

for the house.

Yeah. We need to
canvass a little.

- Find some potential buyers.
- Yeah.

And I think I might
have the perfect place.

At the open house, there was
this paint 'n' plant thing

that we could go to.

I know as a bonus,
it might be fun to...

spend the evening together.

What do you say?

I say I'll meet you there.

- Hey.
- Hey.

You look nice.

Thanks. You, too.

Let me get your jacket.

Oh. Sure.

Thanks.

You got to wear one of these.

- Oh.
- Mm-hmm.

- I have to?
- Yep.

Are you going to wear one?

- I sure am.
- Okay.

I'll do that for you.

Thanks.

Welcome, everyone, to our
December paint 'n' plant.

Tonight, we will be
focused on the North Pole,

home to Santa Claus

and to over 1,000 plant species.

Okay.

Okay, Mr. Artist.
Teach me your ways.

Yeah. So...

I want one of these.

- That's the one I want?
- Mm-hmm.

- It's small.
- It's perfect.

Well, what are you
going to be painting?

- So, then, we want to...
- You're not telling.

Here we go.

There you go.

- Don't watch me do it.
- Okay.

Hold on. Put it there.

Eva: Yeah.

Don't watch me do it.

Jeff: Okay.

Thank you both for coming.

Oh, absolutely.

These workshops
are a little more

Martha Stewart.

Do you want to see where
the real botany happens?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

- Come here.
- Sure.

This where I grow my mistletoe.

This year's batch is
already packaged in ribbons

and ready for sale

for the last time at
the Christmas fair.

I will really miss
this tradition.

I'd really love to
bring my niece here.

She liked the botany unit
her class just finished.

Oh. Well, you should.

Benjamin's always looking for
bright young minds to volunteer.

I should probably get
back to the others.

But please, stay as
long as you like.

Thank you, Dr. Greer.

Oh. Will I be seeing you at
the Christmas fair tomorrow

for the tree-lighting ceremony?

I will be there.

Uh, me, too.

I can't let my partner go alone.

Wonderful. I will see you then.

Okay.

That was fun.

Yeah. It was.

I don't know if you
have plans later,

but Bonnie and I
are in the middle of

a Christmas movie marathon,

if you want to join.

That's an invitation
I can't say no to.

- Hello.
- Hi.

- Hey.
- Hi.

- Let me get that for you.
- Oh. Thanks.

Wow. The paint 'n' plant
must've been a real hoot.

You would have loved it.

Mmm.

Jeff: Yeah. It was a
shame you couldn't come.

That's all right.

I do have a bunch of
plants here anyway.

Although I am ready for

a study break. Are you
staying for movie night?

Well, I was hoping, if
that's okay with you.

I love it.

Oh. Uh, one sec.

Happy early Christmas.

Thank you.

I'm going to put this here.

Um...

And Jeff, I actually...

I got you something, too.

I know you've been asking,

and I know we're
probably not going to

see each other on Christmas,

and I wanted to give
you my book now.

Oh. Uh, no. That's okay.

It can wait till
after the holidays.

Hey. If I don't do it now,

I'm never going
to do this, okay?

Oh, Bonnie? Did
you move my book?

Yeah, yeah. I, uh...

I wanted to read it again,

since, you know,
another one isn't...

I'm sorry. I should've asked.

No. It's just fine.

Just tell me next time,
before I have a heart attack.

Why is there a receipt

from Mountain Laurel
Print and Copy?

Did you copy this?

No. No. Of course not.

"Scan services, $59.80."

Okay. I possibly did scan it.

What's going on?

Hey, look. Don't take it
out on Bonnie, okay? I...

I asked her to do it for me.

But it's not what you think.

What I think is
you asked my niece

to scan a copy of my book,

so she could secretly
e-mail you a copy.

Well, yeah. Technically,
that's true.

But there's more to it.

I don't really want
to hear anything more.

You know how I feel about this.

And that might be silly
to you, but sharing this

is a really big deal to me.

I'm not...

I'm not really in the mood
for a Christmas movie,

so maybe you should...

I don't know. Maybe
you should just leave.

Marco, are you here?

Uh, yeah. Just a second.

Hey.

Jeff: Uh...

fancy seeing you here.

I see you're busy.
I'll come back.

Well, I just...

No. I... Ah.

Hey. Wait a sec. Okay. Look.

I know you're still
upset with me,

and I can understand. I
just want to apologize.

I know it was a
violation of your trust,

and I'm sorry. I really am.

Look. I just don't...

really have time
for this right now.

I'm kind of busy finding a buyer

for our listing before the
Christmas fair tonight.

Yeah. I won't hold
you up, 'cause...

Thank you.

I just think you
should know I...

I wasn't going to
read your book.

I promise.

I wouldn't have read it
without your permission.

You want to know why I asked
Bonnie to send it to me?

I was working on your
Christmas present.

Your secret Santa
present. That's...

kind of why I was here.

I was doing a test run.

Why don't you go to
the mystery section

and just see if anything
jumps out at you?

Wait. How did you...

Well, Marco pulled
an all-nighter

to print and bind it,
and got it done in time.

Go ahead. Pick it up.

Did you do this?

Well, I hope you know that means
I get a cut of the royalties.

Oh. Yeah.

I know it's only self-published,

but I thought you might
like to feel what it's like

to have your own
book up on the shelf.

Jeff, this is amazing.

Thank you so much.

I'm glad you like it.

I'll, uh... I'll
leave you to it.

And I understand if
you want some space

with the Greers as well.

Jeff...

I'll see you at the
Christmas Fair tonight?

I wouldn't miss it.

No worries.

It's seriously the most romantic
thing that I've ever heard.

But I'm...

I'm sorry that it took a
little secrecy on my part.

Hey, it's okay. Your heart
was in the right place.

I can't tell you
how amazing it felt

to see my book in a store.

Honestly, it... it was magical.

Well, speaking of magical,

I'm looking forward
to this tree lighting.

Yeah.

Do you think Jeff's
going to show up?

Well, he seemed up for
it when I talked to him.

I don't know, you know.
First I killed the deal,

and then the whole book thing.

Honestly, I don't even
know why she invited me.

Well, it sounds like she's
forgiven you for the book thing,

and hey, it's a public event.

It's not like she can
ban you from attending.

Oh, yeah. Great. You know,
that makes it a lot easier.

I'm sorry. Hey, you're here.

I have to admit I'm
a little surprised.

Yeah, has been five years.

No, Jeff, I'm not talking about
the whole Laura fiasco, okay?

I'm talking about Eva.

Usually when things
aren't perfect,

you kind of have a
tendency to cut and run,

that's all I'm saying.

It's strictly business, okay?

I have no delusions she's
interested in me beyond that.

Okay. So, you are clueless
when it comes to women.

- Oh, yeah. Great.
- Diagnosed.

Hey, this thing is way
bigger than I thought it was

so I brought extra
forks. What'd I miss?

Uh, nothing. Just talking
about how clueless Jeff is.

Oh, I love that topic.

This is great.

We're going to need
more funnel cake.

Good evening, everyone!

By the power vested in
me by the Mountain Laurel

Chamber of Commerce, I'd
like to welcome you to

the annual Mountain Laurel
Tree Lighting Ceremony.

Three, two, one!

I now declare this
year's Christmas Fair

officially open!

Woo!

Carrie: Go say hi.

Yeah.

Look, I hereby release
you from being my plus-one

for the rest of the night.

Go.

We had our first kiss under
the mistletoe last Christmas,

and Zach popped the
question last night.

Oh, congratulations. We
are thrilled for you.

Oh, we wish you all the best.

Lucky number 14.

Thank you for your part
in making this happen.

I'm so glad I benefitted
from your mistletoe

before you leave town.

Call me if you need any
tips on wedding flowers.

I will.

- Hey.
- Oh!

- Hey!
- Eva!

Look.

Congratulations!

A homeowner and a
fiance all in one month.

Best Christmas ever.

That's amazing.

- That's great.
- See ya.

Dr. Greer, I would
love to introduce you

to my niece Bonnie.

Hi, it's an honor to meet you.

Pleasure to meet you as well.

Bonnie's a junior at
Fernwood Science Academy.

Oh, that's a wonderful school.
What's your favorite subject?

Well, it was marine biology,

but I love the unit we
just did on plant biology,

so, now, I'm not sure.

Kelly: Well, I'm biased,

but plant biology
is a terrific field.

I'll be right back.
Keep talking, please.

It's beautiful
what you guys have.

Kelly: Thank you.

- Hey.
- Hey.

How's it feel to be back?

Not as bad as I thought.

Just, uh...

It's nice not being here alone.

It is.

Kelly: I'm sorry.

Honey? What's wrong?

Sorry, I'm just... I'm
just so happy for Yolanda.

Then I started to think about

all the other
couples we've helped,

how much joy it fills me with.

Well, part of me is so relieved
that we turned down the offer

because, now, I'm not
certain I want to go.

What are you saying?

You don't want to
sell the house?

I'm so sorry. I know how
much work you've all put in,

but this booth has been
spreading Christmas cheer

and bringing couples together
for over two decades.

What about next year?

Whose hearts are we
keeping apart if we move?

It just doesn't... It
doesn't feel right.

Hey, hey.

Look, whatever you want to do,

I support it.

It's just a big leap of faith.

What if it's not
the right decision?

I love this tradition so much.

I just can't let
it wilt and die.

Jeff, Eva, thank you
for all your hard work,

but, um, it looks like
we're staying put.

Well, I guess that's it.

Well, if they
don't want to sell,

that's their right.

Pretty big decision.

Can't just rush into it.

Yeah, but I think she
just got cold feet.

Clinging to what you
know is much easier than

starting a new chapter.

Spoken like a true writer.

But at least we'll
get to go back

and work by ourselves
again, like we used to.

Yeah, that's true.

I know we had a couple
bumps on the way, but...

I really did enjoy
working with you.

Yeah, it was...

It was nice having someone

push me outside of
my comfort zone.

I just hope the Greers aren't
giving up on a great opportunity

just because they're
afraid of moving forward.

Well, we could talk to them.

See if they feel like they've
made the right decision.

I mean, at the end of the day,

we both gotta do what's
best for the client.

If they did change their mind,

do you think we could still
find a new buyer in time?

I think if we tackle it
together, anything's possible.

- Thank you.
- Thanks, Sammy.

Do you think Jeff's going to
be able to find a new buyer?

He has to.

Of course, none of it's
going to matter if the Greers

are seriously wanting to stay.

I mean, with Jeff
tackling the buyer,

maybe you'll have another
chance to talk to the Greers.

I'm sure you guys
will figure it out.

I hope so. Jeff's been great.

Yeah, you guys are
a real power couple.

Excuse me?

I mean, you know what?

I get Dr. Greer's
hesitation, though.

She spent years growing
this, nurturing it.

It's hard to walk away
from all that hard work.

What?

I have an idea.

Wanna go on a little road trip?

Sure.

Yeah. Come on.

- Hey.
- Hi.

Eva, Bonnie, what
are you doing here?

I actually wanted to talk
to you about the house.

I know, I made a
real mess of things.

No, I completely understand
it's a huge decision to make,

and whatever you decide,
I completely support you.

But I was thinking if
the only thing that's

making you feel hesitant is
leaving your mistletoe behind,

I think I might have
a proposition for you.

What if Bonnie takes over
growing your mistletoe?

She's a certified genius, she
loves plants, as you know,

and I know you're looking
for a senior project.

I think a growing a forest

full of mistletoe
qualifies, don't you?

Um, yes, it would be awesome.

And the mistletoe will bloom,

and so will Christmas
romance in Mountain Laurel.

- So, what do you think?
- You really up for this?

I really am.

I would need to check in with
you virtually every month,

and I would want to
come back next year to

sell it with you in the booth.

Deal?

Deal.

Well, grab a seat, it's
time for mistletoe 101.

Thank you.

Of course, go learn!

So, now you have to find
another buyer right away?

I don't know. Working quickly
is kind of Eva's thing.

Yeah, it is, but, hey,
thanks for the encouragement.

It's what I'm here for.

So, you two are
back on good terms.

Yeah, it seems so.

Had a pit in my stomach when I
thought she was upset with me.

Look, there was something
that Dr. Greer said last night

that's been nagging at me.

Her hesitation to
sell their house.

I mean, how does she
know it's the right move?

So, what, are you saying
you don't like her anymore?

No, of course I like her,
she's amazing, it's just...

I've had these feelings before,

and we all know how
that worked out.

Yeah. Yeah, it was
a complete disaster,

but that doesn't mean it's
going to happen again.

What was it Eva said last week?

"If you wait too long,
the house of your dreams

won't be on the market anymore."

What, are you saying that
Eva's the woman of my dreams?

I don't know, but wouldn't you
like the chance to find out?

I mean, it might not be
perfect, but perfect is boring.

Every relationship
has its issues. You...

You can either avoid that
for the rest of your life,

or tackle them head on

and try to build
something beautiful.

Kelly: I know it's a lot,

but if you are half as
dedicated as your aunt,

you'll have no trouble.

Well, your mistletoe
is in good hands.

Yesterday, that would have
caused me a lot of anxiety,

but I know I won't be
able to do this forever.

Alright, I suppose
I have no excuse,

other than my own trepidation,
not to take this next chapter.

I'm ready to sell.

That's so great, Kelly.

Do you think you'll
find someone in time?

Oh, absolutely. Jeff is
looking at that right now,

and I have no doubt
that he's going to find

the perfect person
to buy your house.

Okay, I better go
find Frank. Excuse me.

Okay.

I love it here.

I just... I look at these trees,

this mistletoe,

this whole nursery,
and I just...

I see photosynthesis in action
and the difference between

male and female plants,
and the water cycle.

I see a setting
for a new mystery.

See? You should be writing!

Carrie, what are you doing here?

Well, I was calling
you and calling you,

but I saw your car
when I was driving by,

and I had to tell you in person.

Is everything okay?

Better than okay!

I passed!

Congratulations!

Thank you!

Carrie, that's incredible.

I couldn't have
done it without you.

Your flash cards
and study guides,

a career to aspire
to? Who knows?

Maybe in two years I'll
be the one selling a house

by Christmas on the West End.

Okay.

Oh, wait.

Oh, it's the caterers for the
Christmas party. One second.

I spoke to Frank, and
we'll be ready as long as

you and Jeff can
work your magic.

You can count on
us.

I'm sorry to interrupt,
but we have a problem.

The caterers thought the venue
had ovens, which it doesn't,

and all of their hot trays are
being used for other parties.

Do you have any ideas?

'Cause if we don't come
up with a solution fast,

our Christmas party's not
going to have any food.

Actually, I have an idea.

We could have the holiday
party at our house.

I mean, Eva and Jeff have
already decorated beautifully

and Mountain Laurel Realty just

helped us so much
this Christmas.

I would love to
give something back.

Really? I will call the vendors
and change the delivery address.

Okay.

Thank you so much.

Well, I better start
closing up so that

I can get back to the house.

- Sure.
- You wanna help?

Get some hands-on experience?

Yes, I'd love to. Is
that okay, Aunt Eva?

Oh, absolutely. I have to
meet with Jeff anyways.

I'll see you later.

Okay, sounds good.

Okay.

Five...

- Hey.
- Hey.

How'd it go?

1838 Wallgrove is officially
back on the market.

Nice. I knew you could do it.

How's it going over here?

Well, better than
I could imagine.

I'm actually just writing
up an offer for the Greers.

What? How'd you do
that so quickly?

Why don't you ask him yourself?

- Mitch?
- I know, I know.

Okay, I don't understand.

I thought the house was
just too much work for you.

Yeah, you know, it
probably will be,

but Jeff gave me
a pep talk earlier

and helped me see it as
more of an opportunity.

Every house is going
to have its issues.

So, I can avoid that
for the rest of my life,

or I can tackle them head-on

and try to build
something beautiful.

That's very sweet.

Uh, there was a problem
at the Christmas party.

So, I was going to help Carrie,
but if you want me to stay...

No, it's fine. Once the
Greers accept the offer,

I'm just going to
hunker down with Mitch

and go through the
closing paperwork.

You sure?

Absolutely.

Okay.

Congratulations, Mitch.
It's so exciting.

You're going to
love your new home.

Thank you, I'm sure I will.

I'm just glad I had such a great
team to help me find a house.

Thank you.

Um, okay.

Well, then, I will
see you tonight?

Yeah.

Okay, bye.

Bye.

Okay, what do we think?

Um, you look incredible.

I'm sure Jeff's going
to think so, too.

Maybe.

He likes you, just accept it.

I just hope he likes
my secret Santa gift.

No, I'm sure he'll love it.

It's so romantic that
you two got each other.

That's your Christmas
wish at work.

Excuse me, it was
your Christmas wish.

No, I know. I'm just glad you're
opening yourself up to this.

He's a really good guy.

Yeah.

- Kelly: Hi!
- Eva: Hi!

- Carrie: Well, hi!
- Eva: Hi.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Hey, girl. You look so good.

Wow, this place looks
even better at night.

Thanks for coming
to help me set up.

Teamwork makes the dream work.

Yeah, I've been
learning that lately.

Um...

What? What?

Jeff: Hey.

You ladies look lovely.

Thanks.

I have to go make
an announcement,

but I'll catch up
with you later?

Okay, so, is a congratulations
in order or what?

Oh, I don't know. I
was thinking I could

see a couple more houses?

No. A couple of
days in the paper,

and we'll go through it,
and it's officially Mitch's.

Congratulations.

Mitch: Thank you. Very excited.

Excuse me. Could I have
everyone's attention, please?

Thank you, everyone,
so much for coming,

and a huge thank you to
Frank and Dr. Kelly Greer for

so graciously opening
their home to us.

How about a round of applause?

Eva: Woo!

Thank you. As the newest member
of Mountain Laurel Realty,

it is my pleasure to be
announcing the award for

Realtor of the Year.

It was a close race,

and every realtor
did an amazing job,

but there can only
be one winner.

Well, normally, because,
as luck would have it,

we've had a tie for the
most commissions this year.

So, everyone, please give it up
for your Realtors of the Year,

Eva Rogers and Jeff Morgan.

Okay.

Thank you. Thank you
very much.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

Aww.

Eva: Hey, next
year, it's all you.

Congratulations, you did it.

No, we did.

Eva...

working with you has been
the highlight of my year.

I...

I can honestly say...

you've made me better.

Not just as a realtor.

What do you say about teaming
up more in the future?

Well, depends.

Do you mean as just a realtor?

No.

I want more than that.

Yeah, I'd like that.

I have something for you.

But I have to grab
it from Bonnie.

Yeah, well, um...

I could meet you
outside in a few.

Okay.

Congratulations!

Thanks!

I can see my Christmas
wish coming true

right in front of my eyes.

Maybe.

Go get him.

Okay.

Is it just me or does everything
just taste better in this mug?

Oh, yeah. It's
definitely a perk.

Mm. Yeah.

Well...

Merry Christmas, Jeff,

from your secret Santa.

Wow.

Wow, you got me, too.

Well, it's a Christmas miracle.

Okay, you did this, didn't you?

Okay, maybe I cheated a
little, so we got each other.

Well, I was inspired by
the gift Bonnie gave me,

and I hope you like it.

Uh, okay.

Yeah.

Oh.

Yes.

Maybe it'll spark some ideas.

My journal's been
really helpful to me.

I wrote some down this morning.

What? For another book?

Mm-hm.

Currently titled,
Mistletoe Mystery.

Absolutely brilliant.

And, I love this.

Thank you.

Of course.

Now, I know I already gave you
your Secret Santa present...

but I knew you were
going to give me one,

so I wanted to return the favor.

So, just...

- Okay?
- Okay, okay.

Straight from the
Greer's mistletoe booth.

I didn't actually think I
would ever say that again.

Thank you.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.
