The prices are artificially inflated
by the strength of sales.

50% of winter buyback.

So, you're arguing that
increasing the value of shares
is a bad thing?

No, no,
but issuing millions in bonds

Good morning, Forbes.

We need to look at
your portfolio.

I think it's time to diversify.

There you go.

Catnip is trading up. Whoo.

All right. Text me
if you need me.

- Good morning, Eve.
- Hey, Ruth.

Wow, that is some sweater.

Well, thanks. I can pick you up one.
There are quite a few left.

That's okay.

I think that that is a one- sweater
per- building sweater.

Oh, he's left already
for the holidays?

Diving in the Caymans? Wow.

Well, have him call me
when he comes up for air.

Yes. Eve Morgan.
That's right.

Thank you so much. Okay.

- Bye- bye.
- Thanks, miss.

Yeah, absolutely. Okay, thanks.
Talk to you later.

Hey, Jeff.

Hi, Grace.

- Hey, Carter.
- Good morning, Eve.

- Coming to the party tomorrow?
- What party?

The office Christmas party?

Oh, right.

Tell me you're not working.

Well, while you're drinking eggnog,
I'm going to be improving our bottom line.

- I remember being like you once.
- Mm- hmm.

Hi, dr. Morgan.
Bonjour.

How is Helen?
Is she still riding dressage?

Yes, of course, I remember.

Look, I am just
going to say it, okay?

Let the chips fall
where they may.

Apex East is a solid firm.
But what are they doing for you? 3%?

I could double it.

Drinks tonight?
Yes. Yes. Of course. Tres bien.

I'll have my assistant
set it up.

Okay. Bye.

- You bought a tree?
- Oh, client gift.

- What color is that?
- Celery?

We need to set up and print
a new client signature pack

because I'm going
to sign Fontaine & Fowler.

That's fantastic. I thought
they were with Apex East.

Yes, not for long.

And that is why
you're my idol.

I'm going to sign one new client
before the new year,

And I'm going to beat out Carter
for that partnership.

All right. Go ahead, book my table
at the city club for 6:00.

Oh, and I've got
a conference call at 12:30
with Gibson.

Conflict. You have lunch
with your brother today.

Oh...
That's today?

And you told me not to let you
cancel again since you've done it
three times already.

You know what? We'll book
the conference room for noon,

And that way, I can have half an hour,
and I can catch up with him. Okay?

- Okay. Thank you.
- You're welcome.

There you go, bud.
Much better.

- Hey.
- There she is.

I didn't know you were bringing
the boys. Hey. What a great surprise.

We wanted
to make sure you're real.

- Oh.
- Where were you hiding?

Hey, manners.

Okay, so, big question.
What do you want for Christmas?

- You already gave something.
- What?

- The company fruit basket.
- Oh.

Okay, so, uh...
What do you think about bikes?

- Bikes. That's awesome.
- Eve, that's too much.

No, it's fine. It's for Christmas.
It only comes once a year,
thank goodness.

Come on.
Look, look what I got for you.

Let's have some cookies.
Yum, yum. We've got milk.

Listen, I'm sorry
about the change in plans,

But I have
this conference call,
And I just can't
change it.

Well, at least tell me
you're still coming for Christmas.

Sherry's making your favorites,
the special green beans?

It's oak park.
It's a half- hour cab ride.

- But I'm just so busy.
- Eve...

I'm about to make partner.
I mean, I'm this close.

You know, Crestlane just hasn't even
nominated someone for partner In 10 years.

- That's great, sis.
- But...

Look, I know we didn't have
a lot when we were kids,
But we had each other.

Now you're working
all the time.

I mean, what about
the rest of your life?

- I'll get to it.
- When?

You never see your family.
You put all your relationships
on the back burner.

- No, that's not true.
- Really?

When was the last time
you let anyone in?

Well, actually...
I have a relationship now.

Mm- hmm, yes.

My relationship is
a long- distance relationship

Because...

My boyfriend
is in the future.

Mm- hmm.

- Eve.
- Yeah?

Can I talk to you for a second?

Yes, definitely, but first,
Go get my nephews some bikes.

- Eve.
- Go.

They're going
to love it.

- Taxi.
- Taxi.

- Oh.
- Oh, sorry.

- Sorry.
- No, no, I'm sorry.

I was here first.

Well, I'm pretty sure
we were here at the same time.

- Um... Are you going north?
- Yeah, northside.

Me too.

- Want to share?
- Okay.

How about you?

Maybe a different

No. It goes on

Oh, sir, we're going to need
to take Madison up here.

No, please, stay on State.
Madison will get us into traffic.

Yeah, but my stop is first.

Well, you're going
to make me late.

Yeah, you're going to make me late
for a very important meeting.

- Life or death important?
- Actually, yes.

Okay.

So, turn right, sir.

Aaaaand...

Jingle all the way.

Well, I'm going to walk.

Here, thank you.

Um... Good luck
with your guitar thing.

Happy holidays.

You can turn the music back on.

- Oh, hey.
- Hey.

I'm on my way out,
But I brought you some eggnog.

Oh, thank you.
Is this poisoned?

A little piece of advice from someone
who's been at this longer?

I know how badly
you want this partnership,

And you're probably
going to get it,

But some really good stuff
is passing you by.

Are you trying
to psych me out?

- I'll see you tomorrow.
- Oh, don't give up that easily.

I'm going home
to Christmas carol with my family.

Okay. Have fun.

- You're welcome to join us.
- Thank you,

But while you're out
caroling, I am going to be here,
signing new clients.

Goodnight, Eve.

Bye. Thanks, Carter.

Bye. Say goodbye
to your grandpa.

- Bye, Lauren.
- Bye, grandma. Bye, grandpa.

Hi, Sally.

Hey, honey.
How was
your last day of school?

- Andy Barnes ate
- That's all?

I thought you were on a diet.

- This is my day to cheat.
- You said that yesterday.

You weren't supposed
to remember that.

- Uncle Max.
- Hey, kiddo.

Did you have a fun sleepover
with your grandparents?

Yeah.

Yeah? How about school?
You guys rehearse that play?

Forget about me.
How was your audition?

I, uh...
I didn't actually make it.

Wait, why?

Traffic jam.

Sorry, kiddo.
Next Christmas, okay?

But that's 372 days away.

It'll go fast.
Here.

Working on our famous
yuletide stew.

Needs more turmeric.

Turmeric?
All right.

Remember when you and mom
used to sing at the holidays

And write those funny songs?

Yeah, I remember.

- Why can't you just start again?
- Not that easy, kiddo.

Because you have me?

Of course not.
I love having you.

I was just never any good
without your mom.

You are good.

Remember when you told me

That you were stuck
on those lines in your play?

I'm stuck, too.

Now, come on.

Turmeric, or not turmeric?
That is the question.

You're trying to distract me,
aren't you?

How did you guess?

Uncle Max?

I know you're not
a morning person,

But is it okay if we
get up early and go sledding?

Who says
I'm not a morning person?

- You said musicians were night owls.
- Well...

That was before you moved in.

Now I never sleep at all.

When grandma and grandpa leave,

are you going to teach me
to play guitar?

Let's talk about it
after new year's, okay?

Goodnight, sweetie.

Sweet dreams.

Dear god...
It's me, Lauren.

I think this is too big for Santa,
So I'm going straight to you.

I only want one thing
for Christmas...

My uncle Max to be happy again.

Yes, I'll hold. Sure.

- Roasted chestnuts?
- Oh, nut allergy.

- Santa hat? Christmas scarf?
- Hey, Ted?

It's Eve Morgan
from Crestlane Financial.

Look, I'm just going to come
right out and say it.

Let the chips fall
where they may.

I know you're with Westlane
Trade Financial Brokerage, and
I just want to pitch...

What the...?

Snowball?

Hi...

Hey, kitty.

You look just like a cat
I had when I was little,

Except he had a black tail.

Hey...

There you go.

Miss Morgan?

Hello.
I'm Pearl.

I'm going to be with you
during this transition.

Transition?

Okay, I don't know
what kind of hospital this is,

Or why I'm here,

But as you can see,
I'm perfectly fine.

In fact,
I've never felt better, so...

Hopefully, you bill insurance.
I have 90-10 group coverage.

We don't take
insurance up here.

Okay. Then I'll just...
I'll put it on my credit card.

Credit cards aren't necessary
here either.

But... Where's my bag?
I mean, where is my phone?

They don't matter.

Do I have a concussion?

No.

But... I am on some kind
of medication, though, right?

'Cause I think
I'm having a reaction.

Everything is white.

Yes.

Isn't it beautiful?
It's so peaceful.

No. It's not peaceful.
It's crazy...

Or I am.

- Did Carter put you up to this?
- No.

I mean, that is devious.

He's got
that warm, friendly smile.

Wow, he must really want
the partnership.

You know, as I see it,
I think he's going to get it.

Over my dead body.

What?

Miss Morgan, do you remember

When you tripped
and you fell on the ice,

and you hit your head very hard
when you were making that cold call?

How do you even know that?

Miss Morgan...

You are in heaven.

Heaven?

Did you see that?

Oh, snowball does that
all the time up here.

Snowball's been gone
for a long time.

Time can be very confusing.

But in time,
you'll settle in.

So...

What you're saying is that...

I'm dead?

Wait, I can't be dead yet.

I just wasn't even finished living.
I barely started. I had all these
things to do.

I was going to start my own
hedge fund, and buy a country house,
and get married,

And I never even let
myself fall in love.

- Just, it can't be over.
- Oh, no, no, no. Sit. No.

Don't cry, miss Morgan.
We are angels.

Angels can't cry.

Angels?

So this is it?
This is the end?

No, we like to think of this
as the new beginning.

What do we do here?

Well, among other things,
we answer prayers.

And I'm a guardian angel.

And you've been selected
to be a Christmas angel.

Christmas?

Now I know
there's been a mistake.

Well, I agree,
It's not an obvious choice.

But we have a shortage
this season.

- I barely celebrate Christmas.
- Well, now you can.

With all due respect, Pearl,

I just don't see myself celebrating
anything for a long, long time.

Perhaps when you go back,
it will change.

You're being sent down
to answer a Christmas wish.

- I get to go back?
- Mm- hmm. For a week.

What happens in a week?

- Christmas.
- Oh.

- I'm back.
- Mm-hmm.

- Now, there are rules.
- Rules?

Yes, you must not attract
any attention to yourself.

No one can know
that you are now an angel.

But who would
believe that anyway?

You'd be surprised.

Why is everyone
staring at us?

Because you are
the only one they can see.

Oh, so they all just think
I'm talking to myself.

It's Chicago, dear.
Everybody does it...

And you are allowed
to inspire, but not to lead...

Uh-huh...

And then you must do
all of this by yourself.

You must find your own way,
And under no circumstances

are you to form any attachments
or relationships.

Well, I never found time
to do that on earth. I don't think
I'm going to start in the afterlife.

And... no contacting
anyone that you know.

I have such a fondness
for this city.

I love to come back
and check it out when I can.

- I grew up in Wicker Park.
- How long ago was that?

Let's just say I've been
wearing white a long time.

I never noticed all the colors,
The lights and the sounds.

- It's so beautiful.
- Yeah.

My brother...

I have to tell my brother. He doesn't
know what happened to me.

Yes, he does.

You have to focus
on your assignment now.

We have a little girl
Who's extremely worried
about her uncle.

He's at a crossroads in his life,
And I'm afraid he's lost his way.

Okay, but what am I
supposed to do?

I don't know how you're going
to fix it, but you really need to do it
before Christmas. Let's go.

There he is.

- Him?
- Yeah.

But I know him.

No, not really.

Pearl?

Pearl? Pearl.
Pearl, come back.

You lose a reindeer
or something?

Uh... And an angel.

Like "hark the herald angels sing",
angel?

Fa- la- la- la- la,
la- la- la- la.

So...

- Didn't think I'd see you again.
- Me neither.

Maybe it's fate.

Maybe, yeah.

At this point, I think that I'd probably
believe just about anything.

What was all that outside?

- I recently hit my head.
- Are you all right?

I'm alive for now.

- So you work here?
- Yep.

Manager, cook,
bouncer, owner.

Where's your guitar?

I don't need that
to flip burgers.

- So what can I get you?
- Uh...

A triple espresso, please?

How about black coffee
with unlimited refills?

I'll take it.

- You know her?
- We met in a cab.

- She's pretty.
- I'm pretty sure she's also nuts.

- Who isn't?
- I've got my hands full, Sally.

They're not that full.

So, did you make your
appointment on time?

No... There was
a traffic jam on Madison.

I'm sorry.

Okay, you know what?

I'm just going to come right out
and say it.

Let the chips fall
where they may.

I can see that you have
alot going on here,

But is your bottom line
where you want it to be?

Is my what what?

Priorities. You know?

Guitar, diner.
Diner, guitar.

Still not following.

I feel like maybe you are...

At a crossroads.

You really should have
that head checked.

Sally, can you take this
for me, please?

I've got to get Lauren home.
Come on, kiddo. It's late.

Oh, by the way,
I googled partridges.

They do go in trees.

Pear trees?

- Can I get you anything else?
- No, no, that's it, thank you.

And here we go.

You need
a bit more coffee.

I'm going to need
a new assignment.

I think maybe
a new approach.

But he's probably out getting
a restraining order right now.

Since when would
that even bother you?

Just how much
do you know about me?

I know that
you were driven.

People think that you're very
relentless and ambitious.

- That's what people think of me?
- It is. You know, they call you
"the poacher".

My cat. I forgot all about him.
He's all alone.

So, what happened?

She was in a terrible accident,

And I haven't noticed anybody
come by to look after her.

Don't worry, Eve.
I'll take care of Forbes.

Do you like Christmas?

You're going to love
staying with me and Tinsel.
Yes, you are.

I just can't believe
she would do that for me.

It's as though no one
ever lived here.

I mean,
I hardly speak to her.

Well, that's what neighbors
are for, dear. You know, to help
each other out.

I'm just not sure
that I would do the same.

Well, maybe this is your chance
to redeem yourself.

- Oh, who are these people?
- Uh, I don't know.

They were just in the frame
when I bought it. I never had
a chance to put a picture in there.

- Really?
- Yeah.

And refrigerator is...?

- It's there.
- This?
- Uh- huh.

What do you have?

- Well, there's no food.
- I ate out a lot.

So, okay...

How does this really even work?
I mean, what do I do? Where do I go?

You can go
anywhere you want.

Do I sleep?

You know the old adage,
"you'll sleep when you're dead?"

- That's not true.
- Oh.

Do I eat?

You can eat anything you want,
You will never put on weight.

- Wow.
- Well...

And you actually think
that I can change someone's life?

- I absolutely do.
- Why?

Well, you pick stocks, and
I pick people. And I picked you.

- Uncle Max.
- Hi, kiddo. - Joe.

Where you been at, girl?
We got a yo-yo lesson.

Now look, this here
is called "walk the reindeer",

Not to be confused
with "walk the dog".

- You guys have fun?
- Yeah. We took her shopping.

We got her some things
for the warmer weather.

- You didn't tell her, did you?
- No, but somebody needs to.

- You don't have to
keep reminding me, Marla.
- Apparently, I do.

She spends four nights a week in a diner,
and that is no place fora little girl.

You're just making it
worse by waiting.

How could it
possibly be worse?

There you go.

- Back for a refill?
- Yes, please...

- And, um, I'll have
whatever she's having.
- Mm, angel food.

- What?
- She means my cake.

Oh.

Yes, yes...
And some pie.

- Apple or cherry?
- Both?

- Did a boy just break up with you?
- No.

Then why are you ordering
three desserts?

Well...

I just found out that
I can eat whatever I want
and not gain weight.

Me too.

- I'm Lauren.
- Hi. I'm Eve.

- Like Christmas Eve.
- That's right. Yes.

- What are you working on?
- My school play.

It's tonight, and...
I don't have the lines down.

Uh-oh...
Let me have a look.

Hmm...

Ooh, "hark, ye shepherds,
cometh thy flock in joy".

Yikes.

Wow. Thank you.
Do you have a pen I could borrow?

Yeah.

Okay, so,
I have this memory trick.

I used to use it to remember
clients' information.

So, you take each letter
from the beginning,

And you say,

"Hey, you sharks,
Cover that fellow in jam."

And then each letter
corresponds to your line.

Do you want to try?

Hark, ye shepherds,
cometh thy flock in joy.

I did it.
Uncle Max, I did it.

That's so good.

Thanks. Cake and pie and...
Pie are on the house.

Thank you.

Um...

We kind of got off to a rough start,
So I apologize.

Apology accepted.

Okay.

- You live around here?
- Mm...

I'm in the process
of relocating.

You must be
the favorite uncle.

- That's me.
- Are her parents on holiday?

No, they're, um...

There was an accident
going on two years now.

- Her mom was my sister.
- That's terrible.

I'm sorry.

They made me guardian
if anything should happen.
I just, uh...

Never thought it would.

Can Eve come
to my play tonight?

I think
she's probably busy, sweetie.

I would love
to "cometh".

You do realize that it's a 5th grade
Christmas play, right?

Yes. Where is that theatrical
event happening?

Grover Cleveland
Elementary, on 17th?

Do you... do you happen
to know these brothers,

Bobby and Caleb Morgan?
Do you know them?

Yeah, they were supposed
to be shepherds in our play,

But they had some sort
of family emergency.

Lauren, come help me
with whipped cream.

So, I guess maybe we should
exchange numbers?

You know, in case the critics
close the play early?

I... I lost my phone.

- You lost...?
- Yeah, I... I should go.

- Oh, sure.
- Thank you.

- Bye.
- I got this. Bye.

She's not coming, is she?

Lost her phone.

They can't hear you
or see you.

This is what we call "gazing".

It's the guardian angel's way
of looking in on those we love.

Hey, guys.
What are you doing?

Making pictures
for aunt Eve.

So she can be here with us,
even when she can't be.

She'd love both of these.
I know it.

The last time I saw him,
I blew him off for a client.

I just... I can't let that be
the last thing between us.

Don't break the rules.

I just want
to tell him I'm sorry.

I just... I missed so much.

All their soccer games, and...

Trick or treating...
Of course, Christmas...

Don't you think maybe
you're too hard on yourself?

For their birthday,
I got them a gift card.

And then
I had my assistant sign it.

That is lame.

Excuse me, excuse me.
Thank you.

Hi.

- You made it.
- Of course.

- So you really did
lose your phone?
- Yes, I did.

This is Marla and Ben.
That's Lauren's dad's parents.

That's Joe and Sally from the diner.
You know them.

- It's Eve.
- Hey, everyone.

In the town of bethlehem,
on a starry night,

A baby was born...

And three wise men followed a star
To the ba... ma... manger...

to celebrate
its joyous celebration.

Hark, ye shepherds,
cometh their flock in joy.

This night, under the desert stars,
a baby Jesus was born.

And this day...

- Uncle Max.
- Kiddo.

- You were amazing.
- Thanks.

- That was because of Eve.
- No, it was all you.

I tried to teach your trick
to the other shepherds,

- But it didn't go so well.
- Yeah, we noticed.

Well, I'm glad that Max
won't be alone, at least.

- Oh, no. We just met.
- Oh, no, he must like you.

- He invited you to Lauren's play.
- No, Lauren... Lauren invited me.

Well, maybe you can talk
some sense into him.

He needs to tell her.

She's coming to live with us
after the new year.

- Where do you live?
- Florida.

We have a lovely
house with a pool,

And there are kids her age everywhere.
It's a wonderful place to grow up.

- But don't you think
she'll miss Max?
- Well, he can visit.

Come on, Marla.
You've said enough.

Well, we're heading out.

We're going to take Lauren
out for some hot chocolate.

Wow, lucky you.

- See you tomorrow.
- Bye.

- Goodnight, kiddo.
- See you later.

Not unless I see you first.

- We did it.
- No, you were wonderful.

- Thanks.
- Okay, come on.

Thanks, guys.
Hey, don't stay up too late.

- She is so amazing.
- Yeah, she is.

She is.

So, I'm guessing

- You don't have a Christmas tree.
- You are right.

- That will not stand.
- What?

- Come with me.
- Oh-ho-ho.

Wow.

This wreath is exactly like
the one My brother and I always
had when we were kids.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah, we never had a tree,
but we always had a wreath.

You put your presents
under a wreath?

Oh, there weren't
very many of those.

I always promised myself
that I would never be poor,

And I just thought that there'd be time
for the perfect Christmas later.

So maybe this is later.

- Hey, Max.
- Hey, Tony.

About time you brought
a girlfriend around here.

That's enough.
This is Eve. We just met.

- Hi.
You're... ♪ Together now

- ♪ Together
- Okay, thank you. That's enough.

Best song he ever wrote.

Just sell me a wreath,
will you, please?

Wait. Wait...
"Together now" that does sound familiar.

You must have seen him
sing it on tw.

Him and his sister won
"America's Got Music".

- It was a long time ago.
- A couple years is nothing.

It's a lifetime.

- I'll write you up.
- Thank you.

- I have a question for you.
- Uh-huh...

You know the night
that I met you in the cab?

Where were you going?

- An audition.
- Oh, did I make you miss it?

Oh, it's no big deal. It was just
some Christmas Eve thing.

- Wait, downtown?
- At the palace.

I made you miss the show
at the palace? I feel terrible.

Don't, don't.
I Wasn't really that late.

I only agreed to go because
Lauren kept bugging me, and then,
when I got there...

I just couldn't do it.

I don't understand.

My sister, Becky,
and I were a team.

Uh-huh.

We wrote together, we sang
together, since we were kids,

And then we finally got
a record deal from that show.

It was something
we used to dream about.

We went out to
celebrate that night.

Todd and Becky left early.
The streets were icy.

Their car went
off the road.

Music didn't really seem
so important after that.

Label dropped me,
and end of story.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

It's so beautiful.

You have seen snow
before, right?

Yes, of course.
Yes, I...

Think I just never took the time
to really appreciate it.

You know,
I just live up the street,

If you want to come
sit by the fire.

My fireplace is fake,
But we could sit by the radiator.

I've got to go.

Oh. Okay.
I'll call you a cab.

- No, no, I'm good.
- Don't forget that.
- Oh, right.

I had a really great time.

Me too.

Oh, uh, Lauren and I are
putting together meals for
the needy tomorrow.

It's kind of a holiday tradition
that we have.

That's lovely.

It's also a holiday tradition
to invite someone you just
met in a cab.

Really?

No, but I... I think I'm going
to start that one.

- When and where?
- Noon. All Saints on Clark?

I'll be there.

What did I say about
not getting involved?

But how am I supposed to help
if I don't get involved?

Been doing it
your whole life.

Ugh... I just wish I'd met him
when I was alive.

You did.

Where'd you get that?

- Didn't you buy it?
- No.

It was on the porch.

It's beautiful.

It's exactly like
the one Eve and I had
When we were kids.

Hey. What are you doing up
so early?

I heard music.

Really?
You must have been dreaming.

You like her, don't you?

She's all right.

Come on, what do you want
for breakfast?

Hi there, this is Liz
with Crestlane Financial.

I'll be temporarily taking over
Eve Morgan's accounts.

Please call me any time,
day or night, including Christmas,
And I'll be happy to help.

You little poacher.

Thank you so much
for your time. Bye-bye.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- You showed up.
- Of course, I showed up.

I would not have missed this
for the world.

Wait, you don't like dogs?

Well, they usually don't like me.
I don't know... Oh.

Hi.
- You got a steak in your pocket?

Aw...

This has never happened to me.

Looks like you got
a new leash on life.

Sorry.

Hate to break this up, but I've
got to take these guys home.

- No, no...
- Bye, guys.

Bye.

That was wonderful.

Come on inside,
show you what we got going on.

♪ O come all ye faithful

♪ Joyful and triumphant

- I'm so glad you came, Eve.
- Me too. This is amazing.

- My famous Christmas chili.
- My mom taught me how to cook.

Really?

Yeah, she figured I should have
some life skills in case the whole
music thing didn't work out.

- Come on, grab an onion.
- Okay, but I warn you...

My brother tried to teach me
to cook one time, and it didn't take.

Duly noted.

- You guys close?
- You know, we were. When we
were little, we were best friends,

And then, somehow, I just started
putting everything else first.

Ah, I'm sure
you're not that bad.

Trust me... After canceling last year
for the third Christmas in a row,

I spent the holiday at my desk
eating chinese chicken salad.

Well, nothing says Christmas
like chinese chicken salad.

That's what the wise men ate.
Really.

They don't include that in the songs,
But it's true.

At least you've got the rest of your life
to make up for it, huh?

Yeah.

How are you not crying?

Uh...

I'm crying on the inside.

All right.

You want to put the heavier ornaments
on the bigger branches.

- Ah, why didn't I think of that?
- You'll catch on.

Right.

Now, the most important thing
is the angel on the top.

Wait, wait, wait.
This is my domain.

That's uncle Max territory.
Come here.

Ready? Here we go.
Whoosh.

- Yay.
- Yay. No, no, no, wait, wait.

- The piece de resistance. You ready?
- Yes.

And one, two, three.

It's perfect.
Isn't it, Eve?

Yes, it's perfect.

Well, I hate
to be that guy.

It's time for bed, kiddo.
It's late.

Can Eve read me
a bedtime story?

- Lauren...
- There is nothing
I would rather do.

That's my mom and dad.

They're in heaven now.

You look just like them.

Some days, I feel like
they're still here,

Like they're watching over me.

I'm sure that they are.

Really?

Yes.

Every time that you think
about your mom and your dad,

They're right
here with you.

You mean inside?
In my heart?

Yeah. Forever.

All right.

You ready? Okay.

"Twas the night before Christmas,
and all through the house,

Not a creature was stirring,
not even a mouse.

Hey, you know, we're having
a little Christmas party at the diner
tomorrow night.

- You should come.
- Yeah, Lauren already invited me.

Also, we're going to build
a snowman in the morning,
If that's okay with you.

You know,
when we met in the cab,

You were in such a rush.
And now, it seems like you got
all the time in the world.

I wish that were true.

What are you not telling me?

Nothing.

It's complicated.

- What? Witness protection?
- I wish.

Please, tell me you're
not in a relationship.

No, no.
I am in nothing.

Eve...

Come on, are you dying?

No.

- That, I'm not.
- Then what is it?

Could you just trust me
for now?

Okay.
I'll trust you.

You'll tell me one day, right?

One day.

You know,
I should probably be going.

Why, what? It's early.
Oh, really?

- You just told Lauren it was late.
- Lauren is... 9.

I'll walk you out.
I'll walk you out.

Oh, oh, oh.

I hate to bombard you
with too much Christmas, but...

You know...
There's an old holiday custom...

I... I have heard of it...

Oh.

Okay...
How's that for timing.

Where were we?

Ah.

I guess
it's not my day.

Um... Max...

- I really... I've got to go.
- But...

Yeah...
I've got to go.

Okay.
'Night, Eve.

It wouldn't have killed you
to let me have that kiss, you know.

It might be the last one
I ever get.

Don't blame me for
all those wasted years.

I have three more days.
At least let me have them.

I'm just trying to spare you
an afterlife of heartbreak.

- What?
- Yes.

He's not going
to remember you anyway.

What do you mean?

I mean that the changes that
you make down here, they will stay.

But the memory of you won't.

Max and Lauren won't
remember anything about me?

It will be as though
you never existed.

He's given up his music, and now,
he's going to give up Lauren.

It is not what his sister
would have wanted.

I mean, I wouldn't want
my brother to give up everything
he loved just 'cause I... died.

I would just do it all so differently
if I had a second chance.

I hear that a lot.

I just don't know how I lost track
of everything that was important?

Hear that a lot, too.

You must hear
everything a lot.

Well, one thing
I never hear...

No one...

Has ever said,
"I spent too much time
loving someone".

You can be too Christmassy.

- I brought you some gifts.
- Aw, that's so sweet.

Hey, Lauren, look who's here.
We got something for you, too.

- Hi.
- Eve.

Hello. Oh, you didn't
have to do that.

- Open it.
- Okay.

This is exciting.

It's a prepaid phone
with 90 free minutes.

That is exactly what I needed.
Thank you.

I put uncle Max
on your speed-dial.

- Really? What number?
- 2.

Aww...
Not number 1?

He said we shouldn't
be "presumptuoqous".

Great party, Max.

- You guys leaving already?
- Yeah, we're headed back to the hotel.

All right, I got you this present.
But what I really want to tell you

Is that you are the gift
that makes your uncle Max happy.

You're the only gift
that he needs.

And I want you to remember that,
always, no matter what happens,

No matter even if you forget
everything else,

Even if you forget me.

I could never forget you, Eve.

Because we agreed that
this is what's best for her.

I'm pretty sure you agreed.

We can give her the kind
of life that she needs.

That she deserves.
Do the right thing.

See you tomorrow.

So... Where were we?

This is none of my business,

but sending Lauren
to live with her grandparents,

Is that really the right thing?

I don't know.

The thought of not seeing her
every day just about kills me.

She's the most important thing
in my life, but...

They can give her
a real home, you know?

- But this is her home.
- This is a diner.

No, this is...
this is where her family is.
This is where you are.

I mean, look at all these people
who love her. And she's happy.

- Eve, come see the cookies
I made with Sally and Joe.
- Okay.

- Oh, wow.
- That one's yours. It's an angel.

Oh, I love it.

- You really are an angel.
- What?

Look, you have a halo.

That's just a reflection.

Your secret is safe with me.

Hello?

Do you dance?

Well, it's been
a long time.

For me, too.

Mm...

Look at you. You're on cloud nine.
For goodness' sakes.

I never should have let you
have that kiss.

It was pretty amazing.

Yeah, well, don't forget
why you're here.

Of course.
I have two days, and a plan.

I'll never forget

When my husband
first kissed me.

How long were you married for?

35 Years,
and every year was good.

Wow.

Is he in heaven with you?

No, he's in Wicker Park,
in our apartment.

So, that's why you like
to come back to Chicago.

No, I like to check in on him
every now and then,

Make sure he refuses the casseroles
of the woman next door.

Ah.

She's not right
for him, you know.

- Okay.
- No.

Hi.

Hey...
I was just thinking about you.

- Oh, really?
- Yeah, I googled

"People who don't cry
when they cut onions."

And what did you find?

Zero results.

Then I must just be
very, very rare.

To put it mildly.

What are you doing?

I was thinking about life.

- Well, that sounds pretty serious.
- Mm.

Did you know that I have
87 minutes left on this phone?

That's crazy. I just happen to have
exactly 87 minutes free.

- Uncle Max...
- Hmm?

Ooh... Hi.

- Were you up all night?
- No...

But I might have been.

- I made you coffee.
- Really?

Thank you.

Milk, five sugars.

- Five?
- Is that too many?

No, no... Thank you.
That's great, honey.

Hi. I'm Eve Morgan
from Crestlane Financial.

I have an appointment
with Patrick.

- Oh, yes. This way.
- Thank you.

- Eve Morgan.
- Patrick.

How long's it been?

About two years, since
you left me for Apex East.

- Don't remind me. I'm down 10%.
- That serves you right.

You here
to steal me back?

No, I'm actually
I'm here to ask for a favor.

- Concert tickets?
- That would be great.

Who do you want to see?

I want to see Max Wingford
on Christmas Eve.

- Who?
- He is amazing,

And he had an audition
with you the other night that
he missed because of me.

- One of your clients, right?
- No, actually

he and his sister
won "America's Got Music"
a few years back.

Oh, I remember. They were good.
Whatever happened?

She died
in a car accident.

- Awful.
- I know, it's terrible.
He doesn't even know I'm here.

I just think
that if you saw him,

you would see
how great he is.

Eve, we have a...
we have a pretty full lineup.

Of course. Just hear him.
That's all I ask

- It's important to you?
- It really is.

- Give him my card.
Have him call me.
- Thank you so much.

- And?
- Ha ha... Well...

Medi-den is primed for a run,

So, you call those fools
over at Apex East,

- And you tell them to make a buy.
- Thank you.

You're welcome.
Thank you.

You're breaking the rules.

He won't remember anyway.
Besides, if he doesn't like him,
he won't hire him.

You better hope
that stock goes up.

I know.
Is there anything you can do
to make it happen?

- No. No.
- Oh...

Oh, look at that.
Is that for me or for you?

- Hi.
- Hello.

Christmas scarves?
Keep you warm on a cold night.

- Yes, I'll take this one, please.
- Okay.

Do you know what?
Make it two.

- Well, hi.
- Hi.

How did you know
I wanted one of these?

I know things.

Huh.

- Where's Lauren?
- Grandparents took her to lunch.

Ah. Well, then,

I'll give these to you.
There's enough for Lauren,

Her grandparents,
Sally, and Joe,

And you'll be there, too,
But you're not going to be
in the audience...

Because...
He's waiting for your call.

For?

The audition. The one you missed.
He used to be a client.

- So you bribed him?
- No, no.

He knows your sister
and you from the show.

Look, I appreciate
the gesture, but...

That part
of my life is over.

- But it doesn't have to be.
- Well, it is.

Okay, look, I don't know
alot about Christmas,

But I know
it's about faith.

Have faith
in yourself, Max.

I mean, don't give up on your music.
Don't give up on anything you love.

You don't know anything
about what I'm going through.

I know that life is short.

I know you can't
undo things.

You think it's easy for me
to give away the thing I want most?

Eve.

- Hey.
- You guys have fun?

Oh, lots of fun,
right, sweetie?

Guess what? I'm going to live
with grandma and grandpa in Florida.

We didn't say anything. She did.

I've been thinking about it.
It's better for you, Uncle Max.

Why would you say that?

You have your music again. You can
stay up late and be a night owl.

And you won't be alone anymore,
'cause now you have Eve.

- Lauren, that is not...
- Grandma and grandpa
will take good care of me.

They have a pool,
and you can come visit.

- Lauren...
- It's settled.

I'm sorry.
She just came out with it.

It's for the best, Max.
You'll see.

- I guess that's what she wants.
- No, no.

She's just doing it 'cause she thinks
that's what you want.

She's trying to make it
easier on you.

- Go in there. Talk to her.
- And say what?

I mean, who am I kidding?
I'm not a parent.

And she's only 9. What happens
when she's a teenager and she's
slamming doors?

You are going
to figure it out.

Lauren's parents
could have chosen anyone.

And they chose you.

You and Lauren belong together.

I made a lot of mistakes
in my life.

I had so many wonderful things
in front of me,

and I didn't even see them.

Lauren is right in front of you.
Don't push her away.

- Like you're pushing me away?
- What?

Oh, come on.

I mean, you disappear.
I know nothing about you.

What am I supposed to think?

Okay.

Look...

No matter what happens...

I just want you to know that
you and Lauren are the best thing
that ever happened to me.

There it is again. You talk like
someone who's about to vanish
at any moment.

Right... Right.

You can't fix your own life,
But what, you're going to fix mine?

- Max...
- Look, just... You're going
to leave anyway.

So, please just go.

Go away.
I've made up my mind.

Everybody.

♪ And when...

Hi.

Look,

I really appreciate
what you're doing,

And if you want to go
to your grandparents,

I'll visit you all the time,

But I really hope
you'll stay with me...

Because I want you here,
more than anything in the world.

Really?

Really.

I should have told you that.
I just...

I was just scared I couldn't give you
all the things that you need.

But I have everything I need.
I have you.

I'm going to make a whole
lot of mistakes, you know.

And we're going
to have some fights.

I mean, like... Like, you'll bring
a boy over one day,

And I'll tell him
to get lost.

Boys? Gross.

- That settled?
- Settled.

- Come here.
- I love you, uncle Max.

I love you too, kiddo.

So, now I've made it worse.
Lauren is leaving because of me.

No, she's forcing Max
to fight for her.

But what if
he doesn't?

Then we will have
accomplished nothing.

Except for you
falling in love.

- Who says I'm in love?
- It is so obvious.

You think about him all the time.
When his heart hurts, your heart hurts.

You think more about what
he wants than what you want.

It's... Clear.

- That's love.
- Great.

So now I get to spend eternity
watching other women bring him
casseroles.

You get used to it.

Oh, dear...

You can do this.

The last time I did an audition...
I was with your mom.

But now you have me.

Well, I guess
I'm a pretty lucky guy.

Come on.
Let's go.

Hark, ye shepherds,
Uncle Max is singing at the palace
on Christmas Eve.

Thank you.
Thank you.

- The palace. Congratulations.
- Thank you.

You're both invited.
We wouldn't miss it.

Look...

I hope you're not going
to fight me on this,

But I can't give her up,
and I won't.

I know this situation isn't perfect.
But she's happy here.

Because she doesn't know
any different.

She knows what she wants,
Marla, and so do I.

She belongs here with me.
We're a team.

I agree.

- Ben...
- Well, you can see how much
she adores him.

We'll just have
to visit more often.

Won't we, Marla?

Well, maybe you two of you
can visit us in Florida.

How big is that pool anyway?

- We've got to tell Eve.
- Were you listening?

Yeah, we've got to tell Eve.

- Max?
- Eve?

The number you have reached
is temporarily out of service.

- She's not answering?
- No.

Go see her then.

I don't even know
where she lives.

- I blew it, Sally.
- Um... Maybe not.

Max?

- Hey.
- Hey.

- I've been calling.
- I ran out of minutes.

I should have got
the 180 plan.

Look,

I don't know
you're going through.

But I'm here. And I want to
go through it with you.

I just, I don't want us
to run out of minutes.

- Max...
- I know, I sound crazy.
And this is fast, But I...

I think we belong together.

You do? Me too.

I forgot to tell you the good news.
Lauren is staying with me.

- I'm so happy.
- And thanks to you,

I'm playing the palace
tomorrow night.

- What?
- Yeah. I went...

Hey, Max, there's a Patrick
on the phone?

Oh, that's... That's the guy.
Don't move.

- Okay.
- Don't move.
Okay.

Patrick?
Yeah, I got the message.

I'm really excited.
Thank you.

Well... I'm going to need
a bunch of tickets.

Thank you.
Okay, see... See you tomorrow.

Eve?

Eve.

Eve?

Pearl.
What am I doing here?

I knew I was right about you.

Your assignment
is now over.

But it isn't Christmas yet.
I have more time.

No, you don't.
Not really.

But why would you punish me
for finishing early?

I mean, I just started.
It can't be over.

I'm not punishing you.

Why am I crying?
I'm not supposed to be
able to cry, right?

Because you're not
an angel anymore.

- What?
- No.

All right, I tampered
with the rules. Let me tell you.

Your body did not die
when you fell on the ice.

You mean,
I'm actually alive?

Your body is in the
hospital, in a coma,

And I was thinking that
if I could help you change
your life down there

by putting you
to work up here,

that it would be like
a double Christmas miracle,

- as it were.
- So...

I can go back,
and I can see my family?

And I can see
Max and Lauren?

Yes, but Max and Lauren
won't remember you.

They won't remember
anything.

Now, the light
that you shined on them,

Yes, they will always
have that with them,

But they won't remember
anything else.

But I can find them again.
I can start again.

No, you won't
remember any of this.

You won't remember
the taxi cab drive, and...

You won't remember me,

And you won't remember
what it's like to be an angel.

Come.

You saved them, Eve.

They saved me.

Sorry to call you in on a holiday, but
I figured you'd be working anyway.

I'm surprised to hear from you.
Come on in.

I've just been thinking about you
recently. How long's it been?

Ah, gosh... Two years since
you left me for Apex East.

Well, I'm ready to come back,
if you'll take me.

Gosh, um...

Well...

I would never refuse
a client, but...

I'm going to do you
one better.

I'm going to have Tom Carter
give you a call.

He is a senior analyst
here at the firm.

He's been here
alot longer than I have,

And he has never had a client
leave him. He's that good.

- You're referring me to a colleague?
- Yes.

You remember the size
of my portfolio, right?

Yes. Though I'm sure
it's a little smaller than
when you left me.

- Carter, huh?
- Mm-hmm. Trust me on this.

Okay.

- Okay.
- All right.

How's business
at the palace?

Uh, it's great. You should come down
and check it out yourself.

We're having our annual
Christmas concert tonight.

Oh, gosh...
I'm with my family tonight.

Well, bring them. It's a great lineup.
I'll leave your names at the door.

Fantastic. They would love that.
Thank you.

- Great to see you.
- You got it. - Bye.

- Eve. - Hey.
- We were all so worried.

- Oh, thanks, Liz.
- Are you okay?

- You know what? I feel great.
- What are you doing here?

I've been making cold-calls for you.
I got two more potentials.

If we can just land one,
I'll be the assistant to the
firm's newest partner.

You know, that's amazing,
But I've just...

I have been thinking
about this partner thing,

And, I mean...
What's the rush?

- You really did hit your head.
- Yes, and I think it's a good thing.

I don't understand.

I want you to forget about
the potential client list.

I want you
To forget about everything
I've ever taught you.

The only thing we're going to
poach from now on is eggs.

You're cooking, too, now?

Listen, it's Christmas Eve.
Let's get out of here.

- Okay.
- Come on. Let's go shop.

- Okay.
- Right?

All right. Are we ready?
It's exciting.

Hi.

- Tickets for Eve Morgan, please?
- Morgan? Yeah.

- I'm excited.
- Here you go.

Oh, thank you.
Okay, let's go.

- Great. Thank you.
- Bye.

You're amazing.

Oh, thanks, kiddo.

- Wasn't it amazing?
- That was so good.

Oh... You know what?
I think I forgot my scarf.

I'll be right back. Okay.

Oh, sorry.

I just came back for my scarf.
I forgot it.

Oh, that's... That's mine...

Oh.

That is... Crazy.
I have the same one.

You know what?
You were so great
tonight.

Oh... Thank you.
I, um...

Do we know each other?

No, I don't think so.

Huh.

- Uncle Max.
- Oh, hey, honey.

This is Lauren, my niece.
This is...

- Eve.
- Eve.

Like Christmas Eve.

Yes, exactly.

Are... you an angel?

No. No.

I was thinking the same thing.

- It was nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you, too.

Um...
You know what?

I am having a very last-minute
Christmas party tomorrow.

- Do you guys want to come?
- Yes. - Yes.

- I mean... I mean, yeah.
- Yay.

Bring all of your friends
and family.

- All of them?
- Yeah, it's Christmas.

- Even Joe and Sally?
- The more the merrier, right?

Can I... bring anything?

Partridge? Pear tree?

I already have three french hens
and two turtle doves.

- So, you're good for birds.
- I am.

- See you tomorrow.
- Bye.

Read it and weep.

I can't believe we're decorating
your Christmas tree.

I know. Me neither.

- How come you're so different?
- I don't know... But I like it.

- We do, too.
- Good.

Did you guys thank
your aunt Eve for the bikes?

Yes, only 12 times.

You know, as soon
as that snow melts,

All of us are going to ride
our bikes around Lake Michigan.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Ruth. Oh...
Thank you for coming.

Oh, thank you for having me.
I brought you a little something.

- You shouldn't have.
- Open it.

Oh. How exciting.

- I love it.
- Just like Christmas.

Yay, thank you
so much. Enjoy.

- I will.
- Eve.

Oh, I'm so glad you made it.

Oh, we wouldn't have miss this.
This is my family.

Nice to meet you. Hi.

Hi. Merry Christmas.

I wanted to thank you
for the referral.

- Ah, you're welcome.
- You know that puts me
over the top, right?

Yes, I do,
Mr. Partner.

I don't know what's going on
with you, but I like it.

Thank you.

So, this is a party,
And we really shouldn't be
talking about business, but...

What do you make
of Medi-den?

- I think it's due for a spike.
- Me too.

All right,
go enjoy.

Oh, hi, Lauren.
I'm so glad you made it.

This is my grandma
and grandpa.

- Ben. Hi.
- Hi, I'm Eve.

- Thanks for having us.
- Merry Christmas.

My uncle's on his way up.

He's in the lobby,
signing an autograph.

Ooh, impressive.

Well, go and have fun.
Have a cookie.

Merry Christmas.

Hello again.

Hi.

Sorry. For staring.
I just...

You're just so...
Familiar.

I know.

Maybe it's from a past life
or something.

Do you believe in that?

Lately, I have been believing
in a lot of things.

- Uh, it's for you.
- Oh, you shouldn't have.

Wow.

I had this exact wreath
when I was a kid.

No.
Yeah.

This is...
this is beautiful.

- And great views.
- Thank you. Do you want to see?

- Uh-huh.
- Okay.

Wow.

Yeah.

- What are you doing tomorrow?
- No plans.

You want to get some coffee
or something?

Yeah, I'd like to.

Oh...

You know, there's
an old holiday custom.

Yeah, I have heard of it.

Ha, ha...
We don't have to.

No... I think we do have to.
Right?

Maybe you're right.

How did you
pull that off?

Well, sometimes,
you have to break the rules.

Lauren looks so happy.

So does my brother.

How's that
for a heavenly Christmas?
