[woman 1] A lot of people feel that holiday newsletters
are corny and old-fashioned.
[Santa] Ho-ho-ho!
[woman 1] But in our family,
they're a time-honored tradition, so here goes.
[keyboard clacking]
"Dear friends, family,
and fellow Earth dwellers."
"We're back, after a brief one-year hiatus,
to report on the latest and greatest in the Jennings family."
"Life just seems to fly by,
but that's what happens when you're having a splendiferous time."
Ugh.
"At only ten years old,
our daughter, Beatrix,
became the youngest person ever accepted to Harvard University."
"As for our oldest son, Daniel,
his work continues helping to avert a humanitarian crisis in Africa,
and building a water purification system
that'll bring fresh and clean water to thousands."
-Ugh. -"And my better half, Valentino,
runs a highly-successful karate dojo."
"He's also directing our town's annual Christmas pageant,
which is Hadley Falls' biggest event of the year."
"And In case you're wondering about little ol' me,
well, my hard work finally paid off,
and I was able to sell Jennings Aviation this year and retire early."
"I'm always searching for new adventures."
"The latest is fulfilling Daniel's dream to promote green energy
by taking a family trip around the world in a solar-powered hot air balloon."
-[music stops suddenly] -[woman 2] Really?
Who sends Christmas letters anymore?
I mean, how much of this can a person take?
[light music plays]
Don't bother. I know the answer.
As for me, I would never send one of those letters.
Why, you might ask?
Well, my family's accomplishments are hardly newsworthy.
This is my youngest, Dora. Cute as a button.
[triumphant music playing]
But thanks to Marvel, she believes she has superpowers.
[grunting]
"Super strength"?
Okay, we can cross that one off the list.
Never mind.
Let's get in the car.
And do me a favor, give me a heads-up before you try flying again.
Okay, Mom.
I know everyone thinks their kids are exceptional, but… come on already.
[shrieks]
[gasps]
I nominate Bob for copilot.
-He's a born navigator. -[woman 2] And then there's Grant.
-[bang snaps popping] -[woman 2] He thinks he's a ninja warrior.
And his only friend in the world is a stufty named Monkey Bob.
-Do we really have to go to Aunt Stacy's? -They're family. It's Christmas.
Why can't we go to Jackie's house?
-Who? -Your pal Jackie from this letter.
They sound super awesome.
You are friends, right?
Pfft! I mean, no. Yes, we were.
-Sort of. A long time ago. -I wanna fly in her balloon.
[scoffs] Okay. Well, let me tell you something about my BFF, Jackie.
I would love nothing more than to show up at her house uninvited
and to see the actual truth of all her imagined…
Forget it.
Uh, put Aunt Stacy's new address in here, and don't download any games.
What?
Yeah.
Hop on in. Okay, kiddo?
[woman 2] This is my adorable husband, the dreamer.
Every house he sees for sale,
he thinks it's an opportunity to make some big money.
-Check this out. -[woman 2] He dreams. I worry.
We can't afford to buy that house right now.
-Let's just dip into the emergency fund. -That would be a swan dive.
It's for emergencies, like losing our jobs, or a flood, or…
zombies?
[lively music playing]
Your Chip Mitt is gonna pay off, babe.
It's just taking a little longer than we thought.
-A little. -What was it John Lennon said?
"Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans."
[woman 2] As for me, I finally gave up my dream to be a famous inventor.
I'm a reliability engineer with StarTech Industries.
When stuff you buy goes south, like our flaming vacuum cleaner here,
which Consumer Weekly nicknamed "The Vacuum of Death,"
-I'm the one you call to clean up-- Oop! -[igniting]
[sighs] All right.
[car door slams]
Andiamo.
Um, I think Bob just peed in the car.
Gross! What if I have super smell?
It'll be way, way worse for me.
It's gonna be a long drive to my sister's.
Yep. All right, the Sanders holiday travel train
is finally leaving the station.
Choo choo!
[woman 2] Only two hours behind schedule. We are improving.
Hit the brakes!
-[brakes screech] -[screams]
[Grant] Oh…
-Dude! -I just remembered.
We forgot to tell Santa where we'll be!
What if he sees we're not there
and gives our presents to the kids next door?
First of all, don't ever scream, "Hit the brakes."
And second, Santa knows.
How do you know he knows?
-'Cause I called him. -You actually spoke… to Santa?
The fat man and I are like that, yo!
Homie.
Don't do that in public.
-Okay! -[festive music playing]
♪ Everybody, come on over ♪
[man] Wow.
Is that…
Uh, the Jennings Holiday Newsletter. They missed sending it last year.
-I was wondering how they were doing. -Well, that's not gonna tell you anything.
It's the most absurd thing ever.
It's a holiday letter. They're always--
Smug? Boastful?
Overly positive.
I mean, doesn't it bother you that she makes up this preposterous stuff,
and then she broadcasts it to her "fellow Earth dwellers"?
[mockingly] Like, "Oh, you're life is amazing."
-How do you know she's making it up? -That's who she is.
Do you remember when she said she was best friends with Mariah Carey,
and she got her to sing at our graduation,
and then Mariah's tour bus conveniently got a flat?
And she even claimed that you proposed to her three times.
[scoffs] Well, that is ridiculous.
It was only once.
Kidding.
You're just defending her 'cause when you two dated,
you were in that No Doubt cover band.
-It was not a cover band. -It was called Total Certainty.
-We sang all original songs. -That sounded exactly like No Doubt.
Okay, look, I'm not defending anyone,
but just because Jackie embellishes a little does not mean--
Nobody's life is that wonderful, that perfect, that "splendiferous."
By, uh… "nobody's life,"
you mean ours?
-Rob! -Let me know when you wanna switch.
[Rob grunts softly, sighs]

Wow!
Looks like Stacy hit the lottery.
I mean, she said her new house was nicer, but I didn't think it'd be this nicer.

Hey, Jax. [chuckles dryly]
What on earth are you doing here? I mean, is the band getting back together?
I was gonna ask you the same question. Isn't this my sister Stacy's house?
Uh, no, silly. This is my house.
Honey, are you sure you put the right address in your phone?
Of course I'm sure.
Oh wait, actually, I didn't put it in, I--
Surprise!
Merry Christmas, Mom.
Oh wow. He's stealthy. I'm guessing he's one of yours?
Not for long.
Grant Sanders, you have no idea how much trouble you and that monkey are in.
But you said there was nothing you would love more
than to show up at Jackie's house uninvited--
-Oh, that's enough. -[Jackie] You said that?
Uh, technically, I may have.
That is so sweet, Char.
Listen, I have been putting
"stop by anytime" on our newsletter for years,
and nobody has ever taken us up on the offer.
Val and I actually have a bet going,
and what I just won is gonna put us on Santa's "very naughty" list.
-[whispers] If you know what I mean. -I'll try to imagine.
-[Jackie laughs] -This is so awkward, um…
Oh, I am so sorry for waking you up.
I'm sorry for the mix-up, and, um, well, have a good night.
Wait a minute. Where do you think you're going, young lady?
Oh, well, to my sister's.
At this hour? I don't think so.
Grab your bags. There is plenty of room here at the inn.
Oh, no, no.
Are we here? I gotta pee super badly.
Me too.
Me three.
Okay. Well, we're gonna leave first thing in the morning.
Of course! After breakfast. You have to meet the fam.
Okay, come on.
Whoa, this place is like Wayne Manor.

I hope you grounded him for life!
He's claiming it was all Monkey Bob's idea,
who, by the way, has his own room, and it's bigger than our entire apartment.
-I guess he needs his space. -[knock on door]
Hmm.
Hey.
I remember Robbie's toes get cold at night.
Now, I am right next door.
If you guys need anything, you just knock, okay?
Oh, and, Robbie, look what I found.
This is when we won the Battle of the Bands.
-We killed it that night! -[laughs] What?
-[Jackie] Remember? -Wow! Well…
Yeah, that was a long time ago.
Ah! It feels like yesterday.
[chuckles softly]
Okay. So cute.
Good night, Robbie.
Good night, Jax.

[chuckles] You guys had pet names? I mean, how serious were you?
I thought you just kinda sorta dated?
Well, we sorta did.
But Jax-- Jackie--
Jacqueline was, uh, you know,
she was my first college girlfriend.
[Charlotte] Mm-hmm.
[Rob sighs softly]
-[light music plays] -Hmm. Hmm.
Okay.
So, what did you see in her, anyway?
Oh God.
I don't know.
I was young and sheltered, and she was, like,
smart, and crazy, and spontaneous.
-I mean, she was always up for anything. -Huh.
Well, I'm spontaneous. I'm always up for anything.
You are?
[intriguing music playing]
[Charlotte] Mmm.
-But here? -Sure.
-Now? -Why not?
I don't trust your motives.

A bedtime story for our daughter, Beatrix.
We both found it… fascinating.
[giggles nervously]
[sipping loudly]
Ah! Honey, this is Beatrix.
I found a few calculation errors in your formula, by the way.
Sweetheart, what did we tell you?
-Don't correct the guest. -Mm-hmm.
She's our little genius.
Cute. But there were no errors.
[Jackie] Pancakes are ready. First up, Dora.
Here you are, sweetie.
Look, Mom! Aunt Jackie made pancake shapes.
Wow, pancake shapes, just like I make.
No. These look like real things.
-And mine look like what? -Not Super Dora.
Aunt Jackie, Uncle Val, Bob would like to thank you for your generous hospitality.
He's not used to being treated so…
civilly.
Well, man or a monkey, a guest is a guest.
For my king of rock and roll.
[laughs] Oh!
What? That's amazing. It's a crown.
It's a crown.
Mom, what was all that banging last night?
Oh! That was just your Aunt Jackie and Uncle Val moving some furniture.
-[Val] Mmm. -It's an adult thing.
You guys don't move furniture like that at night.
Ooh!
Uh… oh.
Um…
Hmm.
We, um, move furniture all the time.

We just do it quietly.
But that doesn't mean it's not getting moved
and getting moved real well.

For the girl who single-handedly got me through Physics 101.
[chuckles] Listen, your mother was the most brilliant student in college.
Without her as my tutor, I never would have graduated.
Oh, which reminds me, Robbie, did you ask her yet?
Ask me what?
Oh, well, um…
Jaqueline, uh, invited us to stay for Christmas.
Yes! It will be so great, Char.
I mean, we can catch up and have us some serious girl time.
It's been way too long.
That is incredibly generous, but we could not possibly--
Christmas with Jackie is a life-altering experience.
Please, Mom.
Me and Bob wanna stay. Please?
Oh, um…

It's up to your dad. Rob?

Well, then it's settled. 'Cause Robbie already said yes.
Hey.

-Yeah! I heard it! It's-- -[Dora] I hear bells.
-[Dora] Sleigh bells! -I… I hear it.
[Grant] Yeah.
[imitating Bob] I heard it too. I heard it.
Are there letters in the stockings? How do you like that?
Ooh! This one is addressed to Theodora Sanders.
Is that what Dora is short for? I thought it was "adorable."
And, ooh, Grant!
-Really? -[Jackie] Mm-hmm.
And there's another one to a Bob Sanders.
Could that be Monkey Bob?
[chuckling] I wonder who they're from?
[Grant] It's from Santa!

It says, "Dear Honorable Ninja Grant."
But the flue was closed.
"I've been informed you'll be staying with the super cool
Jennings family this Christmas."
"I will deliver your presents to their home in Hadley Falls."
"Merry Christmas. Santa Claus."
Best Christmas ever.
How could you say yes? Now we are trapped.
This isn't the Donner Pass. And I didn't say yes.
I just said I was fine with it if you were.
We still have three days till Christmas Eve.
We leave as soon as the weather clears, we can get home in time for--
What? For what?
-What is wrong with Christmas here? -Ugh.
Is the real reason you don't wanna stay what I think it is?
You mean about you and Jackie? Pfft! Don't be ridiculous.
Are you sure?
'Cause, look, I would totally understand if--
I'm positive. I mean, I'm not threatened by Jackie.
Okay. All right. I was just being sensitive to the situation.
-There's no need. -[chuckles]
[chuckles]
So if it's not about that, then what is it?
Is this about the letter?
-[Charlotte] Uh, what letter? -Come on.
You thought it was BS, and now that we know it isn't--
We do not know that it isn't BS.
Babe, have you had a look around? I mean… besides ogling Valentino.
-[laughs] I was not ogling! -Okay. Sure.

-Real smooth, Charlotte. -[groans]
I was flustered. Like--
-But you are way hotter than him. -Mmm.
-Mm-hmm. -Ugh. I had taken a look around.
And something is off here. I can't put my finger on it.
But did you see how fast she came up with those Santa letters?
And what about, like, her other kid who's not here, Daniel?
You read the newsletter.
-He's in, uh, Kosovo or somewhere. -Uh-huh.
Well…
You know, look, I know it's kind of spontaneous and crazy,
but they're really nice people.
Maybe you can just fake having a good time.

Uh, maybe you can just fake having a good time.
-You're right. -I am?

Oh, right! Back in college, you used to come up with all the cool gadgets.
What does this one do?
It's, um… It's a glove that uses a reverse static charge to repel crumbs.
Why would you need a glove to repel crumbs?
Well, it's for when you're eating snacks… Well, never mind. [laughs]

Never mind.

[Beatrix] Santa Claus.
According to the 1934 treatise,
"Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" by Coots and Gillespie,
his sole purpose is to bring toys to nice little boys and girls.
In my research,
I found no correlation between the level of naughtiness
and the amount of toys received.
In fact, the strongest factor is actually the financial health of the parents.
But this doesn't make any sense.
Unless there's something more sinister afoot.
And, together, we'll prove it.
-Prove what? -That Santa Claus does not exist.
I don't know, Beatrix.
Bob and I are pretty sure he's real.
I can see you require additional convincing.

Please don't patronize us.
Just admit you're not the real Saint Nick, and we'll be on our way.
[laughing]
You know what? I think that's enough for today.
I have a lot of children to see, so… off you go.
And merry Christmas. Merry Christmas.
He's lying, Grant. I just know it.
Bob has an idea.
But he's gonna need a little of that tree sap.
[expectant music playing]
Where are you, little letter?
All right. I'm all ears. What would you like for Christmas?
-[kid] Steel bike. -A bike? All right. How many speeds?
A ten-speed! Are you gonna do some racing?
Good for you!
[yelps] No! Give me-- No!
[screaming]
No! Save Christmas!
Elves, save Christmas! [yelps]
Yes.
[clears throat]
Hey, Mom.
I'm going to exercise my right to remain silent at this time.
Good.
-[sighs] -[expectant music playing]
Ugh.
This must be Daniel's room.
[sighs]
[expectant music continues]
Hmm.
[gentle music playing]
[Grant] He's blaming it on Bob? How cruel of him.
[Val] Beatrix.
Straight to your room. No Shark Tank for a week.
[gasps and growls]
You better hope Monkey Bob has a good lawyer, dude.
He wants to represent himself.
[Jackie laughs]
You broke into the wrong house, cabrón. [yells]
[Charlotte groans]
[groaning]
-[Val] Charlotte? -[groans] It's okay!
I heard a noise. I thought it was a burglary.
It's fine!
I struck a woman.
-[Charlotte] I'm good. -I will never forgive myself.
[exhales sharply]
Is that…
Your mother's dollhouse.
It was supposed to be a Christmas surprise for you and Beatrix.
You rebuilt my mother's dollhouse? God.
["Quizas, Quizas, Quizas" by Ritmos Latinos playing]
My mother, Sophia, she built beautiful dollhouses.
How she would make ends meet after my father left.
But there was a fire in the studio, and it destroyed everything.
Except one special house.
It was a charred ruin, mi amor.
My mother planned to rebuild it, but she passed soon after, and…
I kept it as a symbol of what my mother wanted.
For us.
Thought it would be a nice reminder of her abuela.
How did I get so lucky to have you in my life?
No, how did I get so lucky?
[in Spanish] My heart.
-[in English] I'm just so very-- -Charlotte, don't!
-[Val] No, no, no! -[shrieks]
-[pieces clattering loudly] -[all clamoring]
[gasping]
-[Val exclaims in Spanish] -Oh my God.
Mom, Monkey Bob would just like to thank you for taking the heat off of us
for that little, um, Santa incident.
[Jackie] Kids, downstairs.
[Val] Come on. Let's go.
-What were you doing up here? -I was, um-- I was just--
Like, all this sneaking around, going through my things?
I knew you were snooping around in my office the other night.
What is your problem, girl?
The problem is you, Jackie.
-Your life is just too wonderful for her. -Rob, that's not--
You actually think that proving that Jackie's life is not perfect
is gonna make you feel better about your… imperfect life?
Well, no, my life is not--
Or maybe your imperfect kids?
Or…
your imperfect husband?
Okay, stop! You wanna know the truth? You wanna know why I came up here?
I know you guys have been communicating in secret and I was looking for the proof.
That's right, Captain and Tennille. I saw the letter.
[somber music playing]
Robbie, you need to tell her.
Yeah, Robbie, tell me how you two conspired
to make this little reunion thing happen.
Was it really Grant who put the address in our GPS, or was it maybe you?
[sighs]
You got me, Charlotte.
There's the letter.
[Charlotte] What is this?
The holiday newsletter
that I've been sending to my friends and family.
-You've been-- -Yeah.
They all love hearing how we're doing.
And I swore them all to secrecy because
I know how much you detest these brag letters.
[Jackie] And I knew you saw it in the mail yesterday, so I gave it to Rob
and told him that he should come clean.
I was just waiting for the right time.
Here's the thing, Charlotte.
I know that life hasn't worked out the way you had hoped.
And maybe you're a little embarrassed about where you are, where we are.
But I'm not.
Actually…
I'm proud.
Well, so am I.
Sure have an interesting way of showing it.
[somber music continues]
[soft music playing]
-Hey. -Hey, um…
So the car's all packed, and I just wanted to apologize for today,
and for everything, and just say thank you
for your incredible hospitality, and just say how sorry I am that--
-You're leaving? -Rob and I thought it would be best.
So we're not gonna spend Christmas together.
[scoffs]
Well, I can't imagine spending the holidays together after what happened.
I mean, what I did was unforgivable.
But, Charlotte, everybody makes mistakes.
That's why they put erasers at the end of pencils.
But, I mean, that dollhouse, it must have taken you weeks to build.
Um, months.
But it was a thing, Charlotte, not a human being.
It's over.
Forgotten.
Okay?
Who was it that said, "To forget is to forgive"? I don't know.
I just… I just don't want you to leave.
[laughs and sniffles]
-[Jackie] We are friends. -I mean, we were friends.
No, we are friends.
-I want you to stay. -[Charlotte sniffles]
Will you?
[laughs and sniffles]
-We will. -Okay.
-You better stay. -[laughing] Thank you.

things won't happen unless you believe they can.

-Tell me about it. -Yeah.
Well…
no worries.
-Seriously? -Yeah.
Yeah. First thing we need to see is, uh, what, if anything, is still intact.
The structural elements are good, so we only have to replace the flooring
and the roof.
Once that's done, it's just a matter of patching up the damaged walls,
framing, and applying the finishes.
So it's salvageable?
Oh…
Everything is salvageable.

Following the viral video "Vacuum of Death,"

federal investigators learned the company went ahead and shipped the units
-despite serious design flaws… -I warned them!
The feds have frozen the company's assets as they now face crippling lawsuits
that could likely force them into Chapter 11.
Translation, it's going to be a blue Christmas for StarTech employees.

Something terrible happened. StarTech just imploded.
-It's all over the news. -What?
Oh no.
-Seriously? -Yeah. Rob has no idea.
I just sunk our entire emergency fund into this house that Rob loves.
That's it. No more money. And now I'm losing my job for sure.
-It's impeccable timing. -Oh my God, Charlotte. I am so sorry.
Really, I am.

Well, all that time I put in, and it's gone, just like that.

StarTech was always a placeholder. Remember? You always promised yourself--
It was a placeholder that helped pay for the food and the rent.
But never inspired.
