I thought I told you to call me before you land.

I just got in the car, big sis.

Plus, I know why you're calling.

Well, how about you stop making me waste my minutes

and just come home for Christmas like we asked.

First off, we're not in middle school anymore

when we had to wait until 9:00 PM

for our minutes to be free.

Second, I told you this isn't a good year for me.

You guys could've easily come to Atlanta this Christmas.

Now you know that Mama and Daddy is not leaving Grandpa

at the nursing home for Christmas.

Well, Chelsea's parents are coming here for Christmas.

Chelsea.

You mean the Chelsea that you claim is the one,

but you haven't brought her home to meet us yet?

That Chelsea?

Listen, I promise you will meet her.

You will come there after the holidays.

Yeah, whatever.

I love you. Tell Grandpa I said Merry Christmas.

- Love you too. - Bye.

Sorry about that.

Oh, all good, boss. Spending the holidays at home?

Yeah, my family wants me to come home,

but I'm supposed to be meeting

my girlfriend's people this Christmas.

Oh. Meeting the in-laws, huh?

Man, I remember when I finally met my mother-in-law.

Boy, I was mad as hell, boy.

- Wait, what? Why? - Shoulda gone for the mama.

She was fine as hell, man. Know what I'm saying, brother?

- Who, the mama? - Hell yeah.

Shoot. What, uh, what Smokey say?

The older the berry, the sweeter the juice?

Nah, man. It's blacker, not older.

Oh. Well, yo, she Black.

She fine than a motherfucker too, boy.

Boy, she you get them yams, boy.

Mm. Right.

Okay.

Well, I'm so sorry to hear that, Mr. Wells,

but I would be very happy to take care of that for you.

Of course. You don't have to worry.

My firm will handle everything.

Okay. Well, Merry Christmas to you as well. Bye.

Hey. What happened?

So that company I've been trying to get for months

finally reached back out.

Apparently the firm they were using before

doesn't wanna work over the holidays.

So you're gonna be working over the holidays?

Yeah, I can work in between. It's no big deal.

Well, did you get a chance to read my script? Babe?

- What? - Did you read my script?

Oh. I'm so sorry.

I've been busy.

Seriously? - What?

My parents just text

and said they're not coming for Christmas.

Dang. I know you were looking forward to seeing them.

Yeah, well, probably would've been a distraction anyway.

Well, Armani called me again disappointed.

- Who? - My sister, Armani.

Oh, right. Yes. Your sister.

Yeah. I'm missing yet another Watkins family Christmas.

How about we go to visit my family for Christmas?

Uh, really? I still have so much work to do.

You think we should?

Well, I mean your parents aren't coming anymore

and we're getting pretty serious.

I think it's time you met my family.

Okay, well, I guess I'll just bring my laptop

and work from there.

All right then. We'll go to Houston for Christmas.

I just hope the weather's better there

and it doesn't rain for Christmas.

Don't be nervous. - I'm not nervous.

They will love you. I promise.

Well, just don't leave me alone.

Baby. You'll be fine.

I promise

They gon' love you, girl. You cute.

They gon' like you. They gon' like you.

How, how y'all doing? Happy holidays.

- Uh, you too. - Thank you.

So, uh, y'all, y'all live here, y'all visiting?

Yeah, we're here visiting my parents.

It's her first time here.

Oh, okay. Where y'all from?

Uh, we're from Atlanta.

Yo, y'all know Tyler Perry?

No of him, but never met him before.

Okay. Okay. I hear he got, like, a studio on every block.

That's what they say.

Anyway, didn't you say that it was the third to the left?

Uh, yes, ma'am. Right there. Right there.

All right, bet. Third to the left.

On my first ride today, so we starting it off.

Hey. So, look.

I been trying to take my little transportation business

a little more seriously, right?

My cousin got a lot. He said I could use anything I want.

Look, that's where I got this.

So, look, take my card. My number on there. Use it.

I'm doing two rides for $20, bro.

You ain't even gotta go through the app. Hit me up.

Hey. Yeah, y'all have a good day. Merry Christmas.

Holler at your girl. I holler.

Now look what the wind done blew in from ATL.

Hey, big sis.

Hey. Hey. You work with

Tyler Perry yet?

Why does everyone keep asking me that?

Look, when you gon' put your sister in the movie?

Uh, how about you stop smoking that weed

and we'll talk about it. - Hey, hey, hey. Shh, now.

Shoot. Look, y'all got here early.

Yeah, those early flights be the cheap.

Don't I know it.

Oh, and who do we have here?

This is my girlfriend Chelsea.

Chelsea, this is my sister Armani.

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

Well, come on, 'cause Mama just made breakfast.

I got it. Yeah.

Mama, guess who's here.

- Hey, Mom. - My baby.

God has answered my prayers. My baby is home.

Come on, Mom. Don't start that.

Oh, what?

It's not like every day that my son comes home

for the holidays.

It's not like when you were in college and used to come home

and steal my groceries

and have me wash your dirty underwear.

- Mom, chill. - Oh, no. She not lying.

Especially about the dirty underwear part.

Ha ha. Very funny.

Oh, I'm sorry. Um, this is my girlfriend Chelsea.

Hi, Mrs. Watkins.

It's nice to meet you.

I've heard so much about you.

Oh, well, I'm sorry I can't say the same, dear,

but my son is very private that way.

- Right. Um, where's Dad? - Oh, he's still sleeping.

Poor thing worked so many hours just to make sure

that he could be off until after the new year.

We didn't know you were coming.

Armani didn't tell you guys?

I mean, I didn't wanna their hopes up

since you said you weren't coming at first.

Well, Chelsea's parents had a change of plan,

so I had the idea for us to come here for Christmas.

Well, I'm just glad you're home.

So how was the flight?

Oh, it was pretty good. We got bumped up to first class.

- What? Y'all fancy. - Oh, Lord.

Mama, did you break a nail?

No, I'm outta pecans.

Armani, I thought I told you to get some more.

Ooh. Mama, I am so sorry.

I forgot.

I can go get you some more. You don't mind, do you, baby?

Oh, I don't wanna be in your mom in Amara's way.

My name's Armani. Ar-ma-ni.

- My apologies. - She'll be fine, dear.

You can help me in the kitchen

and we'll get to know each other better.

Yeah, she can get to know how to say my name.

Thank you so much and we'll see you when you get back.

All right. All right, baby. Have fun. Where are the keys?

Oh, they're over there on the hook.

And we'll send you a picture of the kind we need.

Okay.

So you're originally from Atlanta?

Actually, no, I just moved there.

I'm from Cincinnati, Ohio.

Oh, Cincinnati. How's the weather there at this time?

Hey, you need to pay attention to where you're going.

- I was backing out first. - No, you weren't, actually.

You need to get off your phone

and pay attention to what you're doing.

Ooh, you late. They need to hit you.

Shush, you.

Rain, what?

I know I'm late. I'm sorry.

I was almost in a car accident.

- Oh, are you okay? - Yes, I'm fine.

It was just some asshole rushing in the parking lot.

Typical. Especially around the holidays.

Well, listen, Mr. Watkins is waiting on you

and you know he only wants you tending to him.

So please don't make me fire you for his sake.

I know. And I promise I won't be late again.

- Okay. - I'll get right on that.

Okay.

And I'll deal with you later.

Be nice. Be nice. Now what were you showing me earlier?

I was showing you

- Stop it. - Okay.

Good morning, Mr. Watkins. How are you feeling today?

Hey, Rain. I'm good, baby.

I'm good.

I, uh, feeling pretty good today.

I was just sitting here thinking how nice it's gonna be

to spend holidays with the family, you know?

- That's good. - Yeah.

Thank you, baby. You know, you sure remind me of my Grace.

Yes. You tell me all the time.

Yeah.

Oh, she was the most beautiful woman in the world

till she went on to be with the Lord.

I'm so sorry to hear that.

Oh, no, no, no. Don't be, don't be.

She lived a beautiful life, you know, and we,

we believed that life here on Earth was temporary, you know.

What was important was eternal life with the Lord.

Amen to that.

Yeah.

You know, Rain,

I would really like to introduce you to my grandson.

He needs a good woman in his life.

Mr. Watkins, are you trying to play matchmaker?

I'm good. Men just haven't been on my mind lately.

You, you, uh, you,

you like the ladies?

I mean, no judgment, no judgment.

If that's what you into.

Different strokes for different folks, you know?

No. No, sir. I, I like men.

Just haven't had the best of luck with them, that's all.

So I'm just focusing on myself for right now.

Okay. I understand that. I understand that. All right.

I'm gonna go check on Mrs. Turner

and then I'll be back to check on you.

Okay, babe.

Ugh. What is taking him so long?

- I'm back, Ma. - Ooh, about time.

Lemme see. Ah, thank you.

Did he get the right kind?

Yes, Mama. I told you you wasn't a complete idiot.

- Really? - Just saying.

Did you get the coconut oil I asked for?

- Yes, I did. - Thank you.

Hey, Pop. Have you met Chelsea?

Hey, son. Well, yeah, I did. Pretty young thing there.

So, Miss Chelsea, can you cook?

See, my mama would say that cooking

is the way to a man's heart.

Well, both of our jobs are very demanding,

so she doesn't have time to cook much.

Okay. So you're working now.

Whatever happened to you wanting to become a filmmaker?

'Cause I really enjoyed that indie film you did.

Oh, he's not wasting his time with that anymore.

I think we're getting a little too old

to be chasing pipe dreams.

I was talking to my son, pretty lady. Son?

I still write from time to time. It's more of a hobby now.

I just need to find some inspiration.

A hobby. Interesting.

So how long are you kids staying?

'Cause see, your mama and I,

we got used to y'all kids not being around here

and we walk around here butt naked

doing the freaky deaky. - All right, Dad, chill.

That's not something I wanna imagine.

Boy, please. How you think you and your sister got here?

Back in the day, your mama was fertile.

Got her pregnant on the first try.

Bam. There goes Armani.

Anyway, are you even trying?

Because see, your mama and I,

we wanna have some grandkids come over and visit

every now and again.

You not shooting blanks, are you?

- Really, Pop? - James, leave them alone.

You are gonna run them off.

The boy know I'm just playing with him.

You do have juice in your cup, right? You are a Watkins man.

Baby, please ignore your father.

You guys can go ahead and put your stuff

in your old room, okay?

What are you hitting me for?

You need to be hitting your son

for bringing that bougie ass girl home and she can't cook.

Be nice. Okay? Why you gotta open your big mouth?

Mm, I'll open up something else big

if you keep hitting on me like that.

Oh, really?

You know I like that kinky shit.

You know I do too.

They all upstairs.

Let's go to the bedroom. But you gotta, gotta keep quiet.

- Okay. - No screaming.

- I promise. - Okay.

- Okay. - Ooh.

- Lemme get that belt. - Oh, please do.

Oh, wow. They still have my movie poster up.

Um, maybe we should get a hotel.

A hotel? Why?

Well, you know how I am about where I lay my head

and you probably had all kinds of girls in this bed.

All right, listen, I never disrespected my parents' house.

I always went to the lady's house.

- Seriously? - Look, I'm joking, babe.

Relax. Don't act like that.

I just don't wanna spend unnecessary money.

You act like I asked you to pay for it.

Look, this bed is not big enough for the both of us.

And quite frankly,

I don't feel comfortable sleeping together

in your parents' house.

So where you gonna sleep?

You seriously wanna sleep in separate rooms?

Do you not know who I am?

Fine, I'll just sleep in the guest room

and I'll tell my mom to get the bed ready for me.

- Thanks, baby. - Yeah.

In the meantime, while we wait,

I'd like to go visit my grandpa.

Um, the pies are almost ready.

I was gonna take one over

to the nursing home and see Grandpa.

Yeah, I was just telling Chelsea that.

Oh. Well, I'll be

waiting downstairs.

All right.

See you in a minute.

Oh, Mrs. Turner, that is beautiful.

- Miss Nita. - Wow. What a pleasant surpri-

Malik Watkins, is that you?

- Hey, Miss Nita. Yes, ma'am. - Oh. So good to see you.

And you came home for Christmas.

Oh, I know your mother's heart is just melting.

Yes, she is.

This is my girlfriend Chelsea.

It's nice to meet you.

Armani. Now is that your mother's famous pecan pie?

Yes, it is. I bought some for the staff and for Grandpa.

Oh, my God. Yes. Well, he is gonna love this surprise.

Babe, can you wait out here with Armani?

I kinda want to go in myself

and surprise him and make sure he's up.

Sure.

- So, how's everything? - Everything's been good. Yes.

You know I just finished law school.

I heard. I know your mother is so proud of you.

Yes. I'm preparing to take the bar exam.

Girl, you gon' do that.

Oh.

I'm just so sorry. I'm so clumsy.

Um, no worries. Are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

Seems like we keep bumping into each other.

Malik. Boy, is that you?

- Yeah, Grandpa. - Come on in here.

Right. Man, you done got big. Looking good.

So you're the grandson he's been talking about.

Yes, I am. And you are?

You don't recognize me? The parking lot this morning.

You almost hit me with your car.

Oh, that was you? I'm sorry about that.

- Well, seems like we're even. - I didn't catch your name.

Um, Rain, this is my grandson Malik.

Malik, this is Rain, my nurse.

It's nice to meet you, Rain.

Likewise.

Child, you need to get that checked out.

What's wrong with your throat?

Hey, baby, I was just about to come get you.

- Hey, Rain. - Hey, Armani.

Mr. Watkins, I'm gonna let you spend some time

with your family.

Oh, no, baby, you don't have to go.

Plus, I still gotta tell you my story.

You can tell me all about it later.

Grandpa, I have someone I want you to meet.

This is Chelsea. - Hey, baby. How you-

Boy, is that your mama's pecan pie?

Yes, it is, Grandpa.

And my favorite granddaughter.

Well, you know, when you the oldest,

you always the favorite.

So, tell me, how did y'all meet?

Uh, California, three years ago.

Um, Oakland, not LA.

Everyone always assumes Los Angeles

when you mention California.

Oh, do they now?

Um, Malik had an interview there for something.

What was it again?

I was trying to pitch one of my scripts.

Right.

So he was going on and on about this film thing

and how slow it was.

So I told him about what I do

and how I could get him a job at my marketing firm.

Oh. And how long have you been doing that?

Mama.

It's been a little over six years now.

It's very successful. And Malik's always been so grateful.

I'm just glad he is over this whole film dream.

Well, that was a wonderful and beautiful story. Yeah.

But wait, Malik, are you seriously trying to give up

on your film career?

I just don't have the passion for it anymore, Mom.

After COVID hit it got hard to pay the bills.

Hmm. I bet it did.

Well, if you say so. Well, you ready for bed, dear?

Y-yeah, yeah, yeah, let's do it.

It's only like eight o'clock.

It's okay. Mind your business.

It's grown and sexy over here. All right?

Well, we're gonna turn in.

I'll see y'all in the morning, okay? Come on, baby.

I think they like the story, right?

Um, y'all might wanna go and shower.

Get that airport stink off you.

She's talking about you, not me.

- Yeah, yeah. - All right, let's go.

Mm-hm, mm-hm. Goodnight.

It's not smelling first class.

Oh, damn. This some good shit.

What the hell?

Fuck. Shit.

What? What is it?

Chelsea. What, what's wrong?

- What happened? - Baby, what's wrong?

The mirror.

What?

I was attacked.

Oh, hell no. What?

Why she got the mirror turned around like that?

You can't have a mirror in the room where you sleep.

Girl, you about to ruin my high.

Girl, I know you are not smoking in my house.

Oh, no, ma'am. I was smoking in the backyard.

Sweetheart, what are you talking about?

Baby, the mirror.

Look, I cannot sleep in this room with that mirror.

Oh, Lord.

Malik, you done brought a crazy woman into this house.

- Dad, chill out, please. - Boy.

Okay. Okay.

Chelsea, would you be okay if you slept in a room

that didn't have any mirrors?

Yes, please. I just, I can't be in this room anymore.

Okay, that settles it. You can have Armani's room.

Right. Wait, what?

Um, are you sure? I don't wanna put anyone out.

Yeah, Mama, are you sure?

'Cause she will be putting me out.

Well, she is our guest, dear,

and we want her to be comfortable, right?

But where am I supposed to sleep?

The guest room.

Armani, please, for me.

Fine.

Okay, let's get some sleep.

Um, I'm not so sleepy anymore.

Oh, okay. Well, I'm up for it.

I'm sorry.

It's fine. Everything will be fine.

Mom, you really need to change out the mattress

in that guest bedroom.

- I'm sorry, dear, but... - It was so uncomfortable.

Well, I'm glad you let our guest stay in your room, so.

Good morning.

There he is. Now you really slept in, huh?

It's only eight. Has Chelsea come down yet?

No. She's probably still sleeping in my comfortable bed.

- Armani, cut it out. - Mama, no. Like-

Yes, Mr. Wells, I sent over the first draft pitch

for review last night.

If you can, just take a look

and I'll continue with your approval.

Okay, great. Thank you.

Good morning.

- Morning, baby. - I'll see y'all later.

Bye, Mom. - Oh, bye.

Well, good morning.

I see you're working hard for the holidays.

Yeah, work doesn't stop just because it's Christmas.

Well, are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?

Oh, I'm very particular about what I eat for breakfast.

Um, I can help you make the plates, Mo-

Uh, uh, uh. I got you covered right here.

All right. Here you go.

So you still eat bacon

or have you become one of those vegans?

Um, he's trying to cut down on the pork and red meat.

On his way to becoming a vegetarian like me.

- Oh, really? - I'm not quite there yet,

so I'll go ahead and enjoy this food.

Go right ahead. Did you want me to get you a plate, dear?

Um, maybe just some fruit.

Well, I've got plenty in the fridge, so go help yourself.

Thanks.

Hey, after we finish eating,

I was thinking of heading into town to explore

for a little while.

Is The Ultimate Kitchen still open?

Oh, yeah.

I'll definitely have to visit them.

We're gonna go get some coffee. Do you need anything?

No. You guys go right ahead and have some fun.

I still gotta get over to your aunt and uncle's house

and help them prep for Christmas.

Don't overwork yourself, Mom.

When I get back I need to talk to you and Dad.

Oh, all right. See you soon.

You're not seriously going to eat that, are you?

My mom cooked it.

Ugh.

- Hey, Mama. - So it's all good?

It's all done. Oil change is done.

Line was crazy, but we got it done.

Thanks, Tyson. You've always been my favorite son.

I know, I know.

Don't let your other kids hear you saying that.

Malik? Malik Watkins?

- Um... - Tyson. Tyson Gray.

No way. Bro. I didn't even recognize you, bro.

That's that all protein, no carbs diet.

That's amazing, man. This is my girlfriend Chelsea.

- Hi, nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

So what you doing in Houston? I ain't seen you in years.

You know, just in town for the holidays.

Spending time with the family and everything.

That's good, man.

I'm glad you can still come home

and you're not too busy with your big time movies.

Nah, not that. I'm putting that business degree to use.

I work for this financial firm. That's how I met Chelsea.

Okay, okay. Good for you, man. Hey, let's sit and talk.

We definitely gotta catch up.

Yeah, we do. Let's do it, man.

Got him.

So what does he want to talk to us about?

What do you think, James?

He wants to ask for your mother's ring.

Mm-mm. I, I just don't see what he sees in that woman.

Now, see, I knew you didn't like her.

Oh, it is not that I don't like her.

She's a very attractive woman, and successful, obviously.

But I don't recognize Malik anymore.

I mean, when did he stop wanting to write and direct movies?

I don't know.

I feel like he's trying to change who he is

to please this bougie ass woman.

Yeah. See I thought he knew who he was and what he wanted.

See, we Watkins men,

we take pride in the foundation of family.

My mom and dad laid it down for me

and I was blessed to find you.

I just, I just thought I had done that for our children.

You have, honey. Malik is just lost. He'll figure it out.

Yeah. Wait.

Um, all the children are out of the house.

Mm-hm.

Now, how about you go and put on that red leather

Mrs. Claus suit.

So you want me to jingle your bells?

Oh, I want you to do more than that.

And I'ma kiss your mistletoe.

Oh, my goodness.

Ho, ho, ho.

Back it up. Back it up.

Slay on my way.

- Hey, Rain. - Hey, Tyson.

Have you met Malik and his girlfriend yet?

Yes, I have actually. It's nice to see y'all again.

Yeah, Rain takes care of my grandfather

at the nursing home.

That's right. I just came to get coffee for the staff.

Well, that's nice of you.

Rain, I know I'm gonna see you at Ultimate Kitchen

for that karaoke night, right?

- Wait, they still do that. - Man, every year.

Ain't too much changed around here.

I'll be there.

Y'all should come out. It's really a lot of fun.

I don't know about that.

It sounds like a great idea.

Okay, great.

Hey, come on. It's gonna be fun.

You know I don't sing in front of people.

So are we headed home?

No. I wanna go see my grandpa.

I still have a lot of work to do.

What?

I don't get to come home that often.

I don't wanna just sit in the house all day while you work.

Well, you can go, babe. I'm not stopping you.

What are you doing?

Giving you the keys so you can drive home.

Here's the address. I'll just Uber to see my grandpa.

Fine.

Ooh. Ow.

Lemme help you.

- Thank you. - No problem.

Where's your girlfriend?

Um, she has some work to finish up.

I wanna go see my grandpa, so I told her I would just Uber.

Mm. I don't mind giving you a ride.

I don't know. Can I trust you? You did almost hit me.

That was you.

Look, do you want a ride or not?

Yes. I would appreciate that.

Thank you.

Mm-hm. That's what I thought.

Thank you.

So how long are you in Houston?

Just a couple days.

How long have you been working with my grandpa?

For the last three years. He's a joy to be around.

Always talking about your family and his late wife.

Yeah, Granny G. I miss her.

I was always her favorite grandchild.

Yeah? Don't let your sister hear you say that.

You a writer?

Nah, not really, but I'm a huge movie fanatic

and I've always wanted to write one,

but didn't really know where to start.

So I ordered this book.

Really? I'm a screenwriter too.

I'm trying to do another film.

Wait, you have a film out?

That's amazing. What's the name of it?

"The Ring Widow." It's a thriller. It's on Tubi.

That's a huge accomplishment.

Not a lot of people can say that.

Yeah. I wrote another script.

I need someone to read it and gimme some honest feedback.

- I wouldn't mind reading it. - Really?

Yes, of course.

But I am a huge movie critic,

so I'm definitely gonna be honest.

I can appreciate honesty.

No, I'm glad that you helping Aunt Lisa.

Her stuff wasn't really good last year.

I thought it was okay. She's getting better, so.

Well, that's 'cause you helping her, Mama.

We gotta give her a chance. Somehow she'll get it.

Hey. Back?

- Nope, just me. - Oh. Where's Malik?

Um, he went to go visit his grandfather.

And you didn't think to go with him?

Well, I still have a lot of work to do.

Plus, you know, the jet lag is starting to get to me, so.

Girl, it's only an hour difference.

So what did y'all do?

Uh, we went to the Dandelion Cafe.

We ran into someone you went to high school with, Armani.

Um, I think his name was Tyson.

Tyson? Tubby Tyson?

Armani, don't be rude.

No, Mama. I never called him that.

That's what they called him in school.

Oh, goodness. Yes, Tyson. We haven't seen him in so long.

Honey, I can't find my belt.

Okay, I'm coming, sweetie. Excuse me.

Hey, look, I'm really sorry about taking over your room.

I asked Malik about getting a hotel.

Yeah. That probably woulda been a better fit for you.

It's fine. - Why do you hate me so much?

I said it's fine.

Listen, the fact is I'm with your brother

and I really don't care if you like me or not.

Of course you do.

Because if you didn't, you wouldn't be trying this hard.

My jacket.

So Mr. Watkins had his medicine

and Mrs. Turner did as well,

so all we need to do now is...

Ooh, coffee. Nice. And it's hot.

Yes. It's so cold out, I figured we could all use some.

So sweet.

Uh, Malik, I see you're back.

Yes, ma'am. Gotta see him as much as I can.

Hmm. Hey, girl.

So, um, where's the snooty girlfriend?

I don't know. And it's none of my business.

And none of yours either, Miss Nosy.

What? Me, nosy? Never.

Girl.

I am so sorry for interrupting.

You not interrupting, baby. Come on in.

Now I can finish telling you about my Grace.

See, what Malik doesn't know

is that when I first met his grandmother,

she was actually seeing someone.

Pops, you stole Granny G from someone?

It wasn't like that.

That fool wasn't right for her and she knew it.

But the first time I ever put my eyes on her,

I knew she was perfect for me.

How did it happen?

Funny thing is it almost didn't happen.

You see, I almost let my fear get in the way

of what God had for me.

That woman made me feel like I could do anything

that I put my mind to.

But at that time I didn't even have a car.

So I would walk miles to get to that cafe just to see her.

You know that place down there that Mama G owns.

I didn't know that place was open back then.

Yeah. Just under a different name.

You know, it's nice to have a place

that we could call our own.

I would walk there every day just to say hi.

Never really had a real conversation with her.

I was just waiting on my opportunity.

- What a creep, Grandpa. - Stop. It's romantic.

Yeah, maybe back then. In 2024, it's called stalking.

Well, I tell you what, it's a good thing I was there.

I was down there one day and they were arguing

and I had to stop that joker

from putting the hands on your grandma.

Oh, my God.

You never told me this story, Grandpa.

It wasn't my story to tell.

But after that I went there every day

and I walked her home to make sure she got there safe.

Until one day, a day I'll never forget,

June 15, 1972,

we shared our first kiss.

That's beautiful, Mr. Watkins.

I'm glad to see that a love like that still exists.

It absolutely does.

You just have to find the right person.

Excuse me. Rain, Mrs. Turner needs your assistance.

Okay, I'm coming.

That's okay. We'll talk about it some more later.

Thank you. That was a beautiful story.

You all right?

What? What's that look for?

Boy, you look like that girl got your nose wide open.

She's beautiful though, huh?

Yeah, she got her head on straight. She has a good job.

And she's got all her teeth.

Yeah, she's definitely something.

Okay, but if I had known I was gonna be doing

all of this, then we coulda just had Christmas at my place.

- Who's Mom talking to? - Uncle L Ray.

Where's Chelsea?

Probably somewhere still in my room.

I'll go check on her.

Nuh-uh. Chelsea, get down here, girl.

I coulda done that, Pop.

I know you could have. But this is my house, remember?

I get to raise my voice.

Mm. It is time for me to

go back home.

It's okay, baby girl. You good.

- Hey, are you still working? - No. Not anymore.

Why are you still in the room

instead of out here with the family?

Oh, 'cause she thinks she too good for us.

That was your Uncle L Ray.

He insisted that I bring that macaroni and cheese.

Thank you, Lord.

Now y'all know from last year, Aunt Lisa's, that wasn't it.

Mm. At all.

I told Mama that earlier.

- So how's your grandfather? - He's good.

He was telling Rain and I stories about Granny G.

- Aw, how sweet. - Rain? You were with Rain?

I wasn't with her. She does work there.

She gave me a ride.

I thought you said you were taking an Uber.

She offered and was going there anyway.

I figured why waste money.

So what are your plans while you're here?

I was thinking of going to the Ultimate Kitchen

for Christmas karaoke night.

Wait, that's still a thing?

Of course that's still a thing.

The three of you should go. That would be so fun.

I don't think I'm gonna make it.

I still have that deadline for that pitch, so.

Baby, it's Christmas. Work can wait.

These companies don't care about it being Christmas,

and you know how important my job is to me.

Fine. I guess we're going without you.

All righty then.

Okay.

I'm really excited to try all these Houston spots.

Okay. So where do you think you're going-

- Hey, y'all. - Hey.

Y'all finally made it.

I wasn't sure whether you were gonna come or not.

Well, it's tradition.

I wanna do everything while I'm in town.

Where's your girlfriend?

Ugh, she didn't wanna come.

She's too focused on work right now.

Well, get ready to sing and have some fun.

Yeah, if I get enough drinks in me, I'll be ready.

What's going on, y'all? What's good, bro?

Hey, what's up, Tyson?

You remember my sister Armani, right?

Armani. It's been a long time.

Tyson. It sure has.

You looking good.

Thank you. You look good too.

I mean, you always have, but you still do.

Look. Okay.

Anyways, Malik, you haven't met the rest of the crew.

I know you remember Crystal. She just moved here.

She works with me at the nursing home.

And this is her boyfriend Brandon.

- What's up, bro? - Nice to meet you.

You know, I gotta say, this place is pretty crazy.

I've never seen anything like this.

Well, you know Houston. We put on for our city.

- Yes. Right? - And I am loving it.

So what's everybody go-to karaoke song?

- Easy. "It's Christmas." - That was fast.

We take our karaoke seriously.

- Right? - What about you, Armani?

I mean, any other time Beyonce, obvious.

But for the holidays,

"All I Want for Christmas is You."

And what about you, Malik?

Um, I don't know.

What do you mean you don't know?

I mean, it's been a long time since I've done this.

Oh, we could change that tonight.

Right?

So, um, which one of y'all wants to go next?

Well, I just went.

All right, all right, all right Who's next, y'all?

Uh, Malik. Is that Malik Watkins? Man, come on up here.

Y'all giving up for Malik.

Let's go, big dog.

Big dog.

Oh, y'all. Okay. I see we got a couple's duet.

Oh, no, we're not a couple.

He's just my singing partner for tonight.

Okay, girl. Just say that.

So what y'all gon' be singing?

Bet that. Okay.

Y'all go ahead and give it up for Rain and Malik.

- You were incredible. - Thank you.

Speaking of incredible,

I finally had a chance to read your script.

Please tell me you're gonna turn it into a movie.

- Did you like it? - Like it? I loved it.

It was something so different.

I'm so tired of these same old movies.

Like, nobody makes feel good stories anymore. You know?

I feel that type of love exists only in movies though.

I believe that type of love still exists.

You just have to find it with the right person.

Just like your grandparents.

I would love to experience a love like that.

Me too.

Oh.

Bro, come on before I throw up in Mama car.

I should go and make sure she gets home safe

and get back to...

Get back to Chelsea?

Right. Get back to Chelsea.

Lemme know when you make it home safe.

I will. Goodnight.

Really?

What? I didn't mean to cock block you. I'm sorry. Come on.

- Seriously? - I'm sorry.

No!

What? What is it?

It's gone. Everything is gone.

What did happen now?

What are you talking about?

Last night, I finished everything.

I must've fallen asleep and forgot to press save.

Oh, damn.

What am I gonna do? I'm so confused.

I know I left my laptop open last night.

I'm sorry, babe.

I came in here to check on you last night

and I closed the laptop for you.

I didn't know you hadn't saved your work.

- You idiot. - Excuse me?

- How could you be so stupid? - Oh, hell no, Malik.

She not about to be talking to you like-

- I got this, Armani. - Oh, boy.

Listen, I apologize for messing with your computer,

but that doesn't give you a right to disrespect me.

Especially in front of my sister.

I have been working very hard

and you don't even seem to care.

Yeah, well, I can say the same for you.

What is that supposed to mean?

I've sacrificed so much for you

to be the man you wanted me to be.

I gave up my dreams for you, to support you. It's Christmas.

This is the first time meeting my family

and all you can do is care about work.

I'm sorry I have my priorities together.

Yeah, well, maybe that's the problem.

We don't have the same priorities.

Maybe you should go stay at that hotel.

See, this is how you get in time out.

'Cause you be putting all kinda craziness on the TV.

Ain't nothing crazy about that.

I can watch what I wanna watch.

- Hey, Malik. - Hey.

You okay?

Uh, nevermind. I'm good. How's my grandpa?

He just went down for a nap.

Do you wanna come back in, like, an hour?

Um, yeah, I'm, I'm sure I could find something to do.

Um, I have an idea. I could really use your help.

Unless you're too busy.

Not at all. What's up?

Well, every year I make cookies for the homeless

shelter.

You wanna help me batch them?

- Okay, let's do it. - All right.

I don't think I've laughed like that in a long time.

Yeah, that was pretty fun.

It kinda sucks you have to work on Christmas Eve.

Yeah, well, I don't mind.

It's not like I have any family

to spend Christmas with anyway.

- Why not? - I grew up in foster care.

Moved around a lot.

After I graduated from Hightower,

I went to community college to get my basics out the way

and then transferred and went to nursing school.

And now here I am.

Well, I think what you're doing is amazing.

Excuse me.

I'm so sorry to interrupt.

I just thought you might wanna know

that Mr. Watkins is awake now.

Okay, great. I guess I can go see him now.

Mm-hm.

What?

Girl, you are falling for him.

No, I'm not. Plus, he has a girlfriend.

Okay, but he's here with you.

Plus, I saw what almost happened.

All y'all was missing was some mistletoe.

Okay. I'm gonna get back to work.

Mm-hm. You do that, ma'am.

Lovebirds.

Ooh, I'm glad today is over.

We did good, son. That's all that matters. We did good.

And by the look of these receipts.

Hey.

Armani. Hey, beautiful.

Hey, Mama G.

- You look beautiful. - Thank you.

Glad you took me up on my offer and, uh, met up.

Well, I had such a good time the other night

I definitely wanted to see you again.

What can I get for you, honey?

Um, I don't need anything. Y'all closing up.

No, no, no. It's okay.

It's okay.

Um, maybe just a hot chocolate.

Okay. And how about you? You want one too, son?

- Yes, ma'am. - Coming right up.

Thank you.

Go get her. Get her.

So what are your plans for Christmas?

Not much.

The, uh, the shop'll be closed,

but my mom's not too big on celebrating since my dad passed.

Oh. I'm sorry to hear that.

It's all good. We're, uh, we're getting through it.

- There you are. - Thank you.

You're welcome.

So, Miss Armani, what's up with you?

Um, well, I actually just finished law school

and I'm preparing to take the bar exam.

Wow. Check you out.

I'm scared of you.

Oh, you should be.

No, but for real.

I can definitely see you being a badass district attorney.

Yeah, that's the plan, but...

I mean, I'm excited but nervous at the same time.

Don't worry about that. You gon' do great.

Right.

Son, something bothering you?

You done spent the whole day here.

You running from something?

I don't know.

I'm really torn right now. Chelsea and I had a big fight.

She's not really engaging with the family.

She's so focused on work it's ridiculous.

All I can tell you is to pay attention

to what's right in front of you.

Maya Angelo said it best,

"When somebody shows you who they are, believe 'em."

Now I'm not gonna be able to tell you how to handle this.

This is a lesson you gon' have to figure out on your own.

How did you know Granny G was the one?

Like, at what moment did you know?

Your grandmother paid attention to me.

She knew when I was upset. She knew how to make me laugh.

But most importantly, she believed in me.

But how did you know?

One evening, I was taking your grandmother on a date.

Anytime I went out with her,

I made sure I was a perfect gentleman.

So I opened her car door to let her in.

As I walked around to the other side,

she opened my door for me.

You see, it's the simple things.

But that's when I knew

that she was gonna be my Grace forever.

- Wow. That's when you knew? - That's when I know.

So what time are you picking me up for Christmas tomorrow?

I'll be here at 11:30.

Everyone is supposed to come around noon.

Hey, Mr. Watkins.

I'm about to head home for the night,

but I wanted to bring you some cookies before I left.

Oh, thank you.

Malik helped me make 'em.

Really? Guess my grandson's quite the help, huh?

Mm-hm.

Hey, Rain. What are your plans for Christmas tomorrow?

No plans.

Sounds like you oughta spend Christmas with us then.

That sounds like a great idea.

- I don't wanna intrude. - Nonsense.

There's gonna be plenty of food and plenty of fun.

You can ride with Malik and I when he picks me up tomorrow.

Are you sure?

Positive. I'll be here at 11:30.

Okay. I'll see y'all tomorrow. Y'all have a good night.

Hey, Mom.

Hey, baby. You okay?

I'll be all right. She still here?

No. She took an Uber. She said she was going to a hotel.

Well, it's probably for the best. Where is everyone?

Well, your dad's already asleep

and I don't know where your sister is.

I told Grandpa I'd pick him up at 11:30 tomorrow.

- Okay, sounds good. - Yeah.

Oh, and he invited his nurse Rain. Hope that's okay.

Oh, Rain. Now, she's a lovely girl.

Got her head on straight too.

He's always wanted you to meet her.

She'll be there tomorrow.

All right. Looking forward to it.

All right, Pop.

Hey, y'all ain't got the handle me like this.

I'm not no invalid.

Don't get zesty because your grandson is here.

Lord, I can't believe your daddy let you drive his car.

Y'all just hurry up and get me to the food.

All right, Grandpa. We're gonna get you to the food. Okay?

Thank you.

What? Is something on my face?

Nothing. Nothing at all.

- Hey, Merry Christmas. - Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas. It is chili out there.

Oh, yes.

Oh, y'all bought gifts? I didn't get y'all nothing.

These are not for you. These are for my nieces.

Merry Christmas, girls.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

So where do you want me to put this food?

In the kitchen. Everything is almost ready. Come on.

- All right. - Let's go, babe.

So where is that nephew of mine?

Oh, he went to your dad. So they should be here soon.

- Oh, okay. - Wait, so you're telling me

we have to wait for them to eat?

Yeah, because I'm hungry.

Girl, hush. Don't act like we don't feed y'all.

I mean, if you think about it, you technically didn't

because you told us not to spoil our appetite.

- Lisa, they can eat. - They'll be all right.

Now y'all go into the living room

and wait until the food is ready.

They are so cute.

If it ain't my favorite brother.

L Ray, I'm your only brother.

Are you sure? Before Dad met Mom, he was a rolling stone.

I'm just kidding. Hey, got something for you over here.

You ain't gon' speak, L Ray?

Hey, sister-in-law. I saw you yesterday.

And, babe, I already gave your Christmas gift.

TMI.

Okay. I see you got that good good.

Oh, yeah. It won't be a Christmas without this.

Oh, now y'all know it's too early for that.

Exactly.

Oh, it's five o'clock somewhere.

Merry Christmas, y'all.

Merry Christmas, baby.

Hey, butter head.

Uncle L Ray. When you gonna stop calling me that?

Never. You gon' always be my butter head.

Hey, bro, let's take this outside to the backyard

and let the ladies do their thing up in here.

All right, cool. Lead the way.

Boy, this your house.

Well, you on the way.

- Mm, yep. Fresh pecans. - Yes.

- So how have you been? - Girl, we've been all right.

I'm just so ready for Layla and Lauren to go back to school,

'cause all they wanna do is TikTok dances all day.

Oh, my God.

Well, just don't rush it. Okay?

I am so glad the kids are here for Christmas.

I mean, enjoy it while you can.

Because once they leave for college,

it's hard to get them to come home.

Aw. I know you're glad that Malik is home.

So has he found love yet?

Well, he brought a girl home.

Oh, really?

But she is not right for him at all.

And then they got into this whole argument

and she left yesterday. - An argument about what?

I don't know. Something about her computer.

She was disrespectful, I know that.

Oh, hell no.

But she left. I mean, good riddance.

She's definitely not Watkins wife material.

She was a pretty young thing though.

Had a little dunk on her, but she was stuck up and bougie.

Not right for Malik at all.

Well, I hate that for my nephew.

Yeah, me too. He'll be all right though.

Just, uh, the right one will come along.

Oh, yeah.

Leave me outside.

Girl, I can't wait to like (indistinct).

Hey, everybody. Merry Christmas.

Hey, everyone.

Y'all finally made it.

Sound like them right there.

- You remember Rain, right? - Yes. Hey, beautiful.

Merry Christmas. - Merry Christmas.

Well, we have been waiting for y'all to get here

so we can eat.

- Hey, Pop. - What you say, son?

Oh, Merry Christmas to you.

Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas.

- What's up, Daddy? - Yeah, boy.

- Merry Christmas. - Doing all right?

Yeah. I'm dead on.

- We good. We good. - How you feeling?

I'm good. I'm good. It's good to see y'all.

Good to see you too, man.

Malik, can you get the door for me?

Yes, ma'am.

Merry Christmas. - Merry Christmas back.

Merry Christmas, everybody.

Merry Christmas.

Tyson.

I hope you don't mind. Malik invited me.

Oh, did he?

- These are for you. - Thank you.

Oh, my God. Is anyone else coming?

'Cause y'all really doing too much. I'm just trying to eat.

Well, all righty then.

Y'all come on. Let's eat.

Let's eat, y'all.

All right. You ready, baby?

- Ready. - Come on.

I can't believe you came all the way

from the south side.

He invited me, so I thought why not.

Lawrence Ray, I know you are not trying to touch the food

without us praying first.

Oh, yes, I am. I'm hungry.

Okay, well, then let us pray.

Dear Heavenly Father, we come to you now to say thank you

for this nourishing meal you have before us.

Bless the hands that have prepared it

and bless those that are less fortunate.

- Amen. - And, Father, we thank you

for bringing my family here safely.

But most of all,

I thank you for bringing my baby home for Christmas.

Amen.

Father, please open my son's eyes

to what's right in front of him

because sometimes we can't see the blessings

that you have for us, and God-

In Jesus name we pray.

Amen.

Look, you already blessed the food and everything.

So say the other stuff for your sister circle.

You old fool.

Hey, butter head. Can you pass the mac and cheese?

Uncle L Ray, you are embarrassing me.

Wait, who made the mac and cheese this year?

Y'all wrong for that. Why would y'all...

Y'all don't have to do me like that?

No. Look, Auntie, it was a little dry last year.

Oh, yes, it was.

Wait, wait. Why you call her butter head?

Oh, no. You ain't gotta ask him that. Mm-mm.

You wanna know why I call her butter head? Tell you why.

'Cause when she's a little girl, all she did was eat butter,

eat butter out the carton.

One day, she brought her little ass over here

and got in my refrigerator and got all the butter

all over her head and all over her face and everywhere.

So ever since then I been calling a butter head.

It took me a week

to get that butter smell out of her hair.

- Mama. - It's all harmless.

Oh, okay, okay, okay.

How about we tell some embarrassing stories about

Malik?

Hey, leave me outta this.

I think I've embarrassed myself enough this Christmas.

I would love to hear some stories.

He tell you he used to pee in the bed

till he was about six years old?

Ooh.

- Uncle L Ray. Really? - Yeah, really?

The boy had a serious problem.

Oh, look. That's why Mama had to watch 'em dirty draws.

- You grew out of it, right? - Yes, I did.

All right, while y'all having family time,

I'm just gonna go ahead and eat.

For only 30 cents a day.

Somebody feeds this baby.

He just went to bed for the night.

Thank you so much for inviting me

to spend Christmas with you and your family.

I have never had a family Christmas like that before.

I'm glad you enjoyed yourself.

Yeah. Your family seems like a lot of fun.

Yes, they are. They can be a bit crazy at times.

Yeah, but what's family without a little crazy, right?

Right. Listen, Rain.

I don't know how you felt the last couple days,

but this is the most fun I've had in a long time.

- Really? - Yes.

If you're interested, I think maybe you and I should-

Merry Christmas, baby.

Chelsea? What are you doing here?

I thought you'd be back to Atlanta by now.

I'm so sorry, baby. I messed up. And I see that now.

I just couldn't leave without you.

I'll let you two talk.

Yes. Please give us some privacy.

- How did you know I was here? - I have your location.

I missed you, baby. And I know I was being a bitch.

Your words, not mine.

Well, I just wanted to come and apologize

and ask you for a second chance.

- What about work? - I got it all done.

Now I can focus on you and our holiday.

We can go back home and get back to normal.

Hey, that was so beautiful,

but can I follow you outta here?

I was gonna reverse, but I ain't got no insurance.

I'm good? All right.

That's so beautiful.

Come in.

Hey. You headed out?

Yeah, I'm gonna take an Uber to the hotel to get Chelsea

and head to the airport.

Are you sure, Malik?

I mean, the connection

that you and Rain made was undeniable.

Everybody saw it.

If you pick Chelsea,

you ain't gon' be able to have no mirrors in your house.

Not funny.

It's a little funny.

But seriously, Mom and Dad may sugarcoat it,

but you know I'ma keep it real with you.

She said she's gonna work on it.

Yeah, but true love is hard to come by.

Granny G and Pop's story is one of a kind.

And Dad was lucky to find Mom.

So are you sure this Chelsea girl is the one?

I wanna at least give her a chance.

Okay. I just don't want you to regret it.

I appreciate you looking out, but I'm a big boy.

I'll be fine.

All right, big boy.

- Love you. - Love you too.

- There he is. - Gonna miss you.

All right, let us know when you make it. Okay?

I will, Mom. Thanks for everything, Pop.

You're welcome, son.

You just be sure to be safe

and have a fulfilling new year.

- Appreciate it. - All right.

Love you guys.

- Love you too. - Love you too.

You think he'll see the truth?

Yeah, he will.

I just hope it's before it's too late.

Guess what? - What?

We got one down and one to go.

Then it's back to butt naked time.

Well, you know I love it.

- Wanna get started now? - Oh, can we?

Armani. Girl, when you leaving? I'ma help you pack.

Hey.

Hey, babe. Are you on your way?

Yeah, I am.

Um, did you ever get a chance to read my script?

Yeah, I did. It was great.

Really? What did you like about it?

Everything. Somebody's definitely gonna buy it.

You didn't read it, did you?

Okay. I'm sorry, baby.

But I'll read it.

I mean, isn't it just a hobby now anyway?

Like, do I have to read it?

Why can't we just wait for somebody to buy it

and turn it into a movie and I'll watch the movie?

I'd rather be surprised anyway.

Really? You got me on pause?

I'm sorry, baby.

I need to respond to this email.

Why am I even trying? You're never gonna change.

You don't appreciate me or believe in me.

You sound ridiculous.

You know what? I'm not coming.

You can find your own way to the airport. I'm done.

Malik. You can't be serious.

I am. I'll come get my things after the new year.

Goodbye, Chelsea.

Hey, sir. Can you take me to a different location?

Uh, yeah. You just gotta update your address on the app.

But it's gonna cost you extra.

That's fine. You got it?

Got it.

Come on, Rain. Come on, Rain.

Rain.

What in the world? Malik, what's going on?

I need to talk to Rain. Where is she?

She's with your grandfather.

- Run, boy. - Better go get that girl.

He's looking cute too.

He all right.

Hi, may I speak to Devonte please?

You are speaking- - Rain! Rain.

Malik, what are you doing here?

Son, is everything all right?

Everything is perfect, Grandpa.

Everything right here, right now is perfect.

Malik, what's going on? Shouldn't you be with Chelsea?

No. I'm right where I wanna be. Right here with you.

Listen to me. I've never met anyone like you, Rain.

From the moment we got to know each other,

I realized how incredible you are.

You see things in me that I didn't even see in myself.

You helped me find my passion and love for writing again.

My family loves you. - Especially me.

Especially my grandpa.

You said that you believe the type of love

my Granny G and Grandpa had still exists

with the right person.

I believe you're the right person for me.

I wanted to tell you that,

but Chelsea came and I made the wrong decision.

Well, I'm not trying to be anyone's second choice.

You're not. And I'm sorry I made you feel that way.

I don't know what you wanted for Christmas,

but all I wanted for Christmas was you, Rain.

I love you.

- What do you say, sweetheart? - Really, Mr. Watkins?

The man talking to you.

I love you too.

I been waiting on this. 'Bout time.

I'ma y'all have your moment.

I was a little worried for a second.

I was never worried.

Boy, this boy got Watkins blood running through his veins.

Congratulations on passing the bar.

Thank you.

Lemme see this ring on your hand again, dear.

It's beautiful. I'm just so happy for you both.

We're so happy too.

Oh, lemme see. Oh, oh, my God. This is gorgeous.

Grandma G would be so proud. - Yes, she would.

Now, now, now, um, you know, when's the day?

'Cause I'm trying to get bridesmaid ready.

Wow.

I'm gonna be a bridesmaid, right? Come again, say what?

- Of course you are. - Okay. Just saying.

- Of course you are. - So when's the date?

We're thinking next year for Christmas.
