(dynamic music)

5
00:00:10,719 --> 00:00:13,054
- Does Harrington Davis, author
of the worldwide phenomenon,

6
00:00:13,096 --> 00:00:16,016
"Magic in Mistletoe,"
hate Christmas?

7
00:00:16,057 --> 00:00:18,685
The famous prodigy
was just 18 years old

8
00:00:18,727 --> 00:00:20,186
when his first novel,

9
00:00:20,228 --> 00:00:23,148
"Magic in Mistletoe"
hit blockbuster status

10
00:00:23,189 --> 00:00:26,443
and skyrocketed to the top
of the best seller list,

11
00:00:26,484 --> 00:00:29,529
igniting the Christmas
spirit around the world.

12
00:00:29,571 --> 00:00:32,449
The characters of
Marty, Sully, Misty,

13
00:00:32,490 --> 00:00:34,492
and of course, the
Christmas Fairy,

14
00:00:34,534 --> 00:00:38,371
became household names and
heroes to fans far and wide.

15
00:00:38,413 --> 00:00:41,541
But fame and fortune proved
too much for the famous author,

16
00:00:41,583 --> 00:00:44,669
and Davis retreated
from the public eye

17
00:00:44,711 --> 00:00:46,296
and into a life of seclusion.

18
00:00:46,338 --> 00:00:47,881
Davis's publisher announced

19
00:00:47,922 --> 00:00:49,299
that "Back to Mistletoe We Go"

20
00:00:49,341 --> 00:00:52,052
will be released on
Christmas Day this year

21
00:00:52,093 --> 00:00:55,221
and fans were eager to
stuff their stockings

22
00:00:55,263 --> 00:00:57,223
with the sixth and
final installment

23
00:00:57,265 --> 00:00:59,476
until the author revealed

24
00:00:59,517 --> 00:01:02,687
on social media
this shocking post.

25
00:01:02,729 --> 00:01:04,647
"There's no magic in Mistletoe.

26
00:01:04,689 --> 00:01:06,566
Christmas is a joke.

27
00:01:06,608 --> 00:01:08,276
It's all about money."

28
00:01:09,069 --> 00:01:10,445
- I love your books,

29
00:01:10,487 --> 00:01:12,072
but if you really feel this way,

30
00:01:12,113 --> 00:01:13,782
why'd you bother making
us all fall in love

31
00:01:13,823 --> 00:01:15,241
with the world of Mistletoe?

32
00:01:15,283 --> 00:01:17,744
I mean, honestly,
Harrington, why?

33
00:01:17,786 --> 00:01:21,539
- The post, which has now
gone viral has fans wondering,

34
00:01:21,581 --> 00:01:24,668
is the Christmas King
really just a Scrooge?

35
00:01:24,709 --> 00:01:26,252
Was the "Magic in Mistletoe"

36
00:01:26,294 --> 00:01:27,587
just a cynical sleight of hand?

37
00:01:27,629 --> 00:01:31,174
And is this the end
of Harrington Davis?

38
00:01:32,133 --> 00:01:33,510
- This is bad.

39
00:01:33,551 --> 00:01:35,804
(phone vibrating)
(playful music)

40
00:01:35,845 --> 00:01:37,806
This is really, really bad.

41
00:01:41,267 --> 00:01:43,561
(April exhales sharply)
(phone beeps)

42
00:01:43,603 --> 00:01:44,979
Hi, Mallory.

43
00:01:45,021 --> 00:01:46,773
- Did you see the
segment (sighs)?

44
00:01:46,815 --> 00:01:49,109
- (chuckles) I did, and
I realize it's a problem.

45
00:01:49,150 --> 00:01:50,360
- Uh, a problem?

46
00:01:50,402 --> 00:01:52,278
- Okay, it's a huge problem.

47
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:56,991
Just tell everyone to relax
because we have a plan.

48
00:01:57,033 --> 00:01:58,576
- [Mallory] Which is?

49
00:01:58,618 --> 00:02:01,996
- Well, I've got about
three and a half miles

50
00:02:02,038 --> 00:02:03,581
in an Uber to figure that out.

51
00:02:03,623 --> 00:02:04,582
See ya soon.

52
00:02:04,624 --> 00:02:07,377
(gentle music)

53
00:02:10,672 --> 00:02:11,798
- Thanks, everyone.

54
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,425
I know it's early,

55
00:02:13,466 --> 00:02:14,968
but there's still no
word from Harrington,

56
00:02:15,010 --> 00:02:16,261
so this is where we're at.

57
00:02:16,302 --> 00:02:17,762
It is December 12th,

58
00:02:17,804 --> 00:02:20,265
and we have planned
displays in hundreds

59
00:02:20,306 --> 00:02:21,975
of bookstores
across the country.

60
00:02:22,017 --> 00:02:23,476
So, if we don't fix this,

61
00:02:23,518 --> 00:02:25,020
we're gonna have

62
00:02:25,061 --> 00:02:27,564
about a million unsold
hardcovers on our hands.

63
00:02:27,605 --> 00:02:30,150
- With one post,
Harrington has managed

64
00:02:30,191 --> 00:02:32,819
to alienate his entire fan base.

65
00:02:32,861 --> 00:02:34,154
We can't just un-ring this bell.

66
00:02:34,195 --> 00:02:36,656
- So April, what do we do?

67
00:02:36,698 --> 00:02:40,410
- Well, ring a louder
bell (chuckles).

68
00:02:40,452 --> 00:02:42,495
I need to go get
him and convince him

69
00:02:42,537 --> 00:02:45,165
that he needs to
do an apology tour.

70
00:02:45,206 --> 00:02:46,875
- An interview.

71
00:02:46,916 --> 00:02:48,293
"Good Morning America,"
maybe prime time is better.

72
00:02:48,335 --> 00:02:49,711
- It needs to be more personal.

73
00:02:49,753 --> 00:02:51,338
Up close with the fans.

74
00:02:52,672 --> 00:02:55,508
The Mistletoe
Christmas Festival.

75
00:02:55,550 --> 00:02:57,344
It's been a tradition
for generations,

76
00:02:57,385 --> 00:02:59,512
long before Harrington
was even born.

77
00:02:59,554 --> 00:03:01,431
But ever since his first
book was published,

78
00:03:01,473 --> 00:03:03,350
it's become a destination event.

79
00:03:03,391 --> 00:03:05,560
Fans from all over the
world at Christmas time,

80
00:03:05,602 --> 00:03:07,687
head to Mistletoe
for festivities.

81
00:03:07,729 --> 00:03:11,274
But Harrington hasn't
been back for five years.

82
00:03:11,316 --> 00:03:12,692
We need him there,

83
00:03:12,734 --> 00:03:14,903
back home where
the magic started.

84
00:03:14,944 --> 00:03:17,030
- "Back to Mistletoe We Go,"

85
00:03:17,072 --> 00:03:18,740
the title of his sixth book.

86
00:03:18,782 --> 00:03:20,283
- Exactly.

87
00:03:20,325 --> 00:03:21,576
I've already spoken to
the head of the festival

88
00:03:21,618 --> 00:03:23,578
and she's thrilled
with the idea.

89
00:03:23,620 --> 00:03:25,455
And once she gets the green
light that Harrington is coming,

90
00:03:25,497 --> 00:03:27,207
she's gonna make him
the guest of honor.

91
00:03:27,248 --> 00:03:28,833
- Let's get working on this.

92
00:03:28,875 --> 00:03:30,752
(April chuckles)

93
00:03:30,794 --> 00:03:35,048
Great plan for three and
a half miles in an Uber.

94
00:03:35,090 --> 00:03:36,341
- Thank you.

95
00:03:36,383 --> 00:03:38,134
I do work best under pressure.

96
00:03:38,176 --> 00:03:39,761
- Speaking of pressure,
have you thought

97
00:03:39,803 --> 00:03:42,430
about how you're gonna
get heritage to show up?

98
00:03:42,472 --> 00:03:45,141
- Not yet, but I have
about 2,000 miles

99
00:03:45,183 --> 00:03:47,102
in business class
to figure that out.

100
00:03:47,143 --> 00:03:48,353
- Oh.

101
00:03:50,021 --> 00:03:51,064
- Hi, Mom.

102
00:03:51,106 --> 00:03:52,565
Are you baking again?

103
00:03:52,607 --> 00:03:54,109
- (chuckles) Just making
some peppermint brownies

104
00:03:54,150 --> 00:03:55,652
to take over to
the senior center.

105
00:03:55,694 --> 00:03:57,737
- Ugh, I could go for
a brownie right now.

106
00:03:57,779 --> 00:03:59,489
- Oh no.

107
00:03:59,531 --> 00:04:01,116
When you want brownies,
it means you're stressed.

108
00:04:01,157 --> 00:04:02,742
- Well, I'm on my
way to the airport.

109
00:04:02,784 --> 00:04:04,577
- So soon?

110
00:04:04,619 --> 00:04:06,287
I thought you weren't coming
till the end of the week?

111
00:04:06,329 --> 00:04:09,165
- I'm really sorry, but
I don't think I'm gonna

112
00:04:09,207 --> 00:04:10,875
be able to come home
for Christmas this year.

113
00:04:10,917 --> 00:04:12,377
- Oh, no.

114
00:04:12,419 --> 00:04:14,337
(sighs) Is it work?

115
00:04:14,379 --> 00:04:16,965
- Well, it's more like disaster
management at this point.

116
00:04:17,007 --> 00:04:19,801
- [April's Mom] Is Harrington
Davis being canceled?

117
00:04:19,843 --> 00:04:21,177
- Where did you hear that?

118
00:04:21,219 --> 00:04:22,804
- It's all over
the internet, dear.

119
00:04:22,846 --> 00:04:24,222
Wow, you're actually going

120
00:04:24,264 --> 00:04:27,017
to meet Harrington Davis.

121
00:04:27,058 --> 00:04:28,143
Are you nervous?

122
00:04:28,184 --> 00:04:29,227
- No.

123
00:04:29,269 --> 00:04:30,228
No time for nerves.

124
00:04:30,270 --> 00:04:31,438
I got a job to do.

125
00:04:31,479 --> 00:04:32,564
- Well, I am very proud of you,

126
00:04:32,605 --> 00:04:34,024
and your father would be too.

127
00:04:34,065 --> 00:04:35,817
- Are you sure
you're gonna be okay

128
00:04:35,859 --> 00:04:37,527
to spend Christmas alone?

129
00:04:37,569 --> 00:04:39,404
I mean, I've been home
every year since dad died,

130
00:04:39,446 --> 00:04:41,740
and I don't want
you to be lonely.

131
00:04:41,781 --> 00:04:44,743
- A, there's a first
time for everything.

132
00:04:44,784 --> 00:04:46,161
B, I won't be alone.

133
00:04:46,202 --> 00:04:48,038
I've got lots of
friends and support.

134
00:04:48,079 --> 00:04:50,582
And C, yes, I'm sure.

135
00:04:50,623 --> 00:04:52,417
I'll miss you, but I'll be fine.

136
00:04:52,459 --> 00:04:54,002
- Thanks for understanding.

137
00:04:55,253 --> 00:04:56,379
But listen, I should go.

138
00:04:56,421 --> 00:04:57,881
I've gotta come up with a plan

139
00:04:57,922 --> 00:05:00,467
to convince Harrington
to do something

140
00:05:00,508 --> 00:05:02,177
he definitely will
not want to do.

141
00:05:02,218 --> 00:05:03,970
- Well, how can he
say no to my girl?

142
00:05:04,012 --> 00:05:05,305
- He's a writer.

143
00:05:05,347 --> 00:05:06,556
I'm sure he'll
think of something.

144
00:05:06,598 --> 00:05:09,100
- Bye Sweetie, and good luck.

145
00:05:09,142 --> 00:05:10,352
Love you.

146
00:05:11,186 --> 00:05:12,562
(April exhales)

147
00:05:12,604 --> 00:05:15,148
- So, you're gonna
meet Harrington Davis?

148
00:05:15,190 --> 00:05:16,566
- Yeah, I am.

149
00:05:16,608 --> 00:05:18,276
- Ever since my
daughter was five,

150
00:05:18,318 --> 00:05:20,487
I've read this book to
her at the holidays.

151
00:05:20,528 --> 00:05:22,530
- Aw (chuckles), that's sweet.

152
00:05:22,572 --> 00:05:24,824
- Yeah, not anymore.

153
00:05:24,866 --> 00:05:26,826
Guy's a fraud.

154
00:05:26,868 --> 00:05:29,537
(light music)

155
00:05:36,086 --> 00:05:38,088
- Peppermint tea with one sugar

156
00:05:38,129 --> 00:05:41,132
for America's saltiest author.

157
00:05:44,219 --> 00:05:45,720
There he is.
- Cute.

158
00:05:46,846 --> 00:05:48,264
You saw my post?

159
00:05:48,306 --> 00:05:50,016
- I saw the reactions
to it (grimaces).

160
00:05:51,226 --> 00:05:52,977
- Forgotten about
by tomorrow morning.

161
00:05:53,019 --> 00:05:55,188
- You know, I actually do
a little writing myself.

162
00:05:55,230 --> 00:05:56,314
- [Harrington] Ah.

163
00:05:56,356 --> 00:05:57,774
- Mostly feel good stuff.

164
00:05:57,816 --> 00:05:59,109
But if you ever need
somebody to look over

165
00:05:59,150 --> 00:06:01,403
your posts before you hit send.

166
00:06:03,196 --> 00:06:04,406
- Thanks, Debbie.

167
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:06,449
I write alone.

168
00:06:07,617 --> 00:06:09,411
- Maybe that's your problem.

169
00:06:16,376 --> 00:06:21,673
* Joy and laughter

170
00:06:22,757 --> 00:06:26,928
* Fill the streets
with so much cheer *

171
00:06:28,054 --> 00:06:29,514
- Excuse me.

172
00:06:29,556 --> 00:06:30,932
Hi (chuckles).

173
00:06:30,974 --> 00:06:32,434
Can I get your autograph?

174
00:06:33,476 --> 00:06:35,228
- You sure you
want my autograph?

175
00:06:35,270 --> 00:06:37,022
- You are Harrington
Davis, right?

176
00:06:37,063 --> 00:06:38,440
- That's exactly why I'm asking.

177
00:06:38,481 --> 00:06:40,650
- Prodigious author
of the world famous

178
00:06:40,692 --> 00:06:42,736
"Magic in Mistletoe" series.

179
00:06:42,777 --> 00:06:44,863
Why wouldn't I want
your autograph?

180
00:06:44,904 --> 00:06:47,198
- Well, when you put
it like that, sure.

181
00:06:48,116 --> 00:06:50,744
You got a pen?
- Yeah.

182
00:06:50,785 --> 00:06:51,786
- Okay.

183
00:06:53,038 --> 00:06:54,914
Looks like you've read
this copy a few times.

184
00:06:54,956 --> 00:06:56,458
- (chuckles) Oh, it's
actually not mine.

185
00:06:56,499 --> 00:06:57,584
Someone gave it to me.
- Hm.

186
00:06:57,625 --> 00:06:58,877
- Can I sit down?

187
00:06:58,918 --> 00:07:00,295
- Actually...

188
00:07:00,337 --> 00:07:02,255
- To be honest, he
didn't give it to me

189
00:07:02,297 --> 00:07:04,841
so much as throw it away.

190
00:07:05,925 --> 00:07:07,427
Yeah, he used to read
it to his daughter

191
00:07:07,469 --> 00:07:08,928
every night around the holidays,

192
00:07:08,970 --> 00:07:12,265
and he just doesn't want
to anymore (grimaces).

193
00:07:12,307 --> 00:07:13,058
(April chuckles)

194
00:07:13,099 --> 00:07:15,185
- Hm.

195
00:07:15,226 --> 00:07:17,103
Sorry, what was your name?

196
00:07:17,145 --> 00:07:18,271
- Oh, you can make it out

197
00:07:18,313 --> 00:07:19,439
to April Collins
- Collins.

198
00:07:19,481 --> 00:07:21,232
- from Silver Spark Publishing.

199
00:07:26,279 --> 00:07:27,197
- Got it.

200
00:07:27,238 --> 00:07:28,615
- [April] Hm.

201
00:07:28,656 --> 00:07:30,200
- How'd you find me?

202
00:07:30,241 --> 00:07:31,576
- I put out PR
fires for a living.

203
00:07:31,618 --> 00:07:32,577
Helps to know where the fire is.

204
00:07:32,619 --> 00:07:34,079
- This is about my post.

205
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,372
- It is.

206
00:07:35,413 --> 00:07:36,748
- And there's a fire.
- Blazing.

207
00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:38,291
- How big are we
talkin', one alarm, two?

208
00:07:38,333 --> 00:07:40,001
- What's the most?
- I don't know, five.

209
00:07:40,043 --> 00:07:41,294
- Then it's six.

210
00:07:41,336 --> 00:07:42,962
- Well, you know what they say,

211
00:07:43,004 --> 00:07:45,715
there's no such thing
as bad publicity.

212
00:07:45,757 --> 00:07:48,510
- My specialty is
publicity, Mr. Davis,

213
00:07:48,551 --> 00:07:50,804
so if that were true,
I wouldn't have a job.

214
00:07:50,845 --> 00:07:52,013
- Fair enough.

215
00:07:53,181 --> 00:07:54,474
It'll blow over.

216
00:07:54,516 --> 00:07:55,975
- Not likely.

217
00:07:56,017 --> 00:07:57,644
And definitely not
before Christmas,

218
00:07:57,686 --> 00:07:59,896
which is 10 days
away, by the way.

219
00:07:59,938 --> 00:08:02,065
And I'm not sure
you realize this,

220
00:08:02,107 --> 00:08:03,483
but we did time the release

221
00:08:03,525 --> 00:08:05,819
of your new book
for the holidays.

222
00:08:05,860 --> 00:08:07,737
- Oh, I see, that's
what this is about.

223
00:08:07,779 --> 00:08:09,823
Silver Spark is afraid that
the book is gonna tank.

224
00:08:09,864 --> 00:08:11,783
- This isn't even
about Silver Spark.

225
00:08:11,825 --> 00:08:15,161
This is about your
millions of loyal fans.

226
00:08:15,203 --> 00:08:16,663
- Oh, it's about the fans?

227
00:08:16,705 --> 00:08:18,331
You're here on
behalf of the fans,

228
00:08:18,373 --> 00:08:20,125
not the publishing company.

229
00:08:20,166 --> 00:08:21,334
Got it.

230
00:08:21,376 --> 00:08:22,293
Starting the spin already.

231
00:08:22,335 --> 00:08:23,712
That's impressive.

232
00:08:23,753 --> 00:08:25,255
- Mr. Davis, this
is your life's work.

233
00:08:26,506 --> 00:08:28,717
You've inspired people
all over the globe

234
00:08:28,758 --> 00:08:30,260
with your imagination.

235
00:08:30,301 --> 00:08:31,928
Do you really wanna
throw away all

236
00:08:31,970 --> 00:08:35,390
of that goodwill on a
single ill advised post?

237
00:08:35,432 --> 00:08:37,851
- Ill advised post,
I stand by it.

238
00:08:37,892 --> 00:08:40,437
Christmas is an opportunity

239
00:08:40,478 --> 00:08:44,024
for people to spend
and make money.

240
00:08:44,065 --> 00:08:45,108
That's it.

241
00:08:45,150 --> 00:08:46,276
It's a scam.

242
00:08:46,317 --> 00:08:47,569
- A scam?

243
00:08:49,070 --> 00:08:52,615
So then everything you have
ever written is also a scam?

244
00:08:55,368 --> 00:08:56,619
- I guess.

245
00:08:57,829 --> 00:08:59,372
- I don't believe you.
- Well, great.

246
00:08:59,414 --> 00:09:01,583
- I don't think you
believe yourself either.

247
00:09:01,624 --> 00:09:03,084
I think you care
about your writing.

248
00:09:03,126 --> 00:09:04,711
I think you care
about your reputation,

249
00:09:04,753 --> 00:09:07,630
and I think that you
care about your fans.

250
00:09:09,049 --> 00:09:12,677
- All right, for the
sake of argument,

251
00:09:12,719 --> 00:09:13,762
let's say that's true.

252
00:09:13,803 --> 00:09:15,180
What do you want me to do?

253
00:09:15,221 --> 00:09:16,931
Write a mea culpa, apologize?

254
00:09:16,973 --> 00:09:20,101
- For starters, but I don't
think that's gonna help much.

255
00:09:20,852 --> 00:09:24,147
I do have another idea, though.

256
00:09:24,189 --> 00:09:25,398
- Oh, I bet you do.

257
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,317
And why do I get the suspicion

258
00:09:28,443 --> 00:09:30,070
I'm not gonna like it that much?

259
00:09:30,111 --> 00:09:33,490
- What's not to like about
going back to your hometown

260
00:09:33,531 --> 00:09:35,700
for the Mistletoe
Christmas Festival

261
00:09:35,742 --> 00:09:38,203
to show all your fans how
much you care about them?

262
00:09:38,244 --> 00:09:39,287
- What's not to like?

263
00:09:39,329 --> 00:09:41,289
What's not to like?

264
00:09:41,331 --> 00:09:42,499
Hm.

265
00:09:42,540 --> 00:09:44,584
Well, some of it.

266
00:09:44,626 --> 00:09:47,128
No, all of it.

267
00:09:47,170 --> 00:09:48,296
Definitely all of it.

268
00:09:48,338 --> 00:09:49,297
- That's cute.

269
00:09:50,799 --> 00:09:52,801
But like it or not, that's
what we're gonna do.

270
00:09:52,842 --> 00:09:53,677
- Yeah.

271
00:09:53,718 --> 00:09:55,595
Thanks, but no thanks.

272
00:09:55,637 --> 00:09:58,515
I'm not going back to
Mistletoe to apologize

273
00:09:58,556 --> 00:10:01,226
to the world for being
honest, I'm sorry.

274
00:10:01,267 --> 00:10:02,227
- Hm.

275
00:10:04,354 --> 00:10:05,355
- You don't want
me to sign the...

276
00:10:05,397 --> 00:10:06,773
- You know what?

277
00:10:06,815 --> 00:10:09,651
I don't know if it's
ego or self pity,

278
00:10:09,693 --> 00:10:11,861
but the least you
could do is respect

279
00:10:11,903 --> 00:10:14,781
the people who helped to
get you to where you are.

280
00:10:15,782 --> 00:10:17,784
(sighs) I'll see
you in Mistletoe.

281
00:10:19,077 --> 00:10:20,453
- No, you won't.

282
00:10:20,495 --> 00:10:22,080
I didn't agree to go.

283
00:10:22,122 --> 00:10:23,581
- Okay, that's fine.

284
00:10:23,623 --> 00:10:25,208
I just hope you have
good legal counsel.

285
00:10:25,250 --> 00:10:26,459
- Excuse me?

286
00:10:26,501 --> 00:10:28,086
- Well, as per your contract,

287
00:10:28,128 --> 00:10:30,797
you are required to attend
all promotional events

288
00:10:30,839 --> 00:10:33,008
that Silver Spark
Publishing deems necessary.

289
00:10:33,049 --> 00:10:34,968
- You've never required
me to go before?

290
00:10:35,010 --> 00:10:37,679
- Well, you have never put
us in this position before.

291
00:10:37,721 --> 00:10:40,348
- So what if I don't go,
you're gonna (chuckles),

292
00:10:41,099 --> 00:10:42,475
you're gonna sue me?

293
00:10:42,517 --> 00:10:44,728
- Oh, I don't know.

294
00:10:44,769 --> 00:10:47,439
Is that what happens when
someone breaches their contract?

295
00:10:49,357 --> 00:10:50,358
Oo.

296
00:10:51,526 --> 00:10:56,865
(Harrington sighs)
(light music)

297
00:11:01,536 --> 00:11:04,831
(music continues)

298
00:11:11,129 --> 00:11:12,547
(bell dings)

299
00:11:12,589 --> 00:11:14,049
- Sorry, this is
a private event.

300
00:11:14,090 --> 00:11:16,301
Oh, I'm supposed to
meet the Mayor here.

301
00:11:16,343 --> 00:11:17,844
- Oh, you must be April.

302
00:11:17,886 --> 00:11:21,097
Hi, I'm Lisa Moore,
AKA, the Mayor.

303
00:11:21,139 --> 00:11:22,557
- Oh, I'm sorry.

304
00:11:22,599 --> 00:11:23,892
(chuckles) It's so
nice to meet you.

305
00:11:23,933 --> 00:11:25,018
- Oh, no problem at all.

306
00:11:25,060 --> 00:11:26,686
I'm sure where you're from,

307
00:11:26,728 --> 00:11:27,854
the mayors don't wear
Christmas sweaters.

308
00:11:27,896 --> 00:11:29,314
- Not usually, but I love it.

309
00:11:29,356 --> 00:11:30,982
- I just wanna thank you

310
00:11:31,024 --> 00:11:32,942
for convincing Harrington
to come back this year.

311
00:11:32,984 --> 00:11:35,987
We have asked him to be our
special guest so many times.

312
00:11:36,029 --> 00:11:38,281
- I'm just glad
it all worked out.

313
00:11:38,323 --> 00:11:39,574
- He is here, right?

314
00:11:39,616 --> 00:11:41,159
- His plane arrived
this morning.

315
00:11:41,201 --> 00:11:42,327
- And he was on it?

316
00:11:42,369 --> 00:11:44,371
- (chuckles) I'm sure he was.

317
00:11:44,412 --> 00:11:46,039
- (chuckles) Good.

318
00:11:46,081 --> 00:11:47,540
I mean, because there's
just been so much buzz.

319
00:11:47,582 --> 00:11:48,875
I mean, how could he
not show up, right?

320
00:11:48,917 --> 00:11:54,255
(April laughs)
(Lisa laughs)

321
00:11:55,924 --> 00:11:56,925
Okay.

322
00:11:56,966 --> 00:11:59,010
So, just before I forget,

323
00:11:59,052 --> 00:12:01,388
we are having a
special kickoff dinner

324
00:12:01,429 --> 00:12:04,808
for the town residents that
volunteer during the festival,

325
00:12:04,849 --> 00:12:06,559
and we would just
love it if Harrington

326
00:12:06,601 --> 00:12:07,852
could join us, you know?

327
00:12:07,894 --> 00:12:09,354
And of course, you (chuckles).

328
00:12:09,396 --> 00:12:11,147
- Oh, well I wouldn't miss it.

329
00:12:11,189 --> 00:12:12,440
- (chuckles) Good.

330
00:12:12,482 --> 00:12:13,692
Well, we'll see you tonight.

331
00:12:13,733 --> 00:12:14,567
Welcome to Mistletoe.

332
00:12:14,609 --> 00:12:15,485
- Thank you.

333
00:12:15,527 --> 00:12:18,780
(Lisa chuckles)

334
00:12:18,822 --> 00:12:19,948
- [Mallory] Did he
confirm with you?

335
00:12:19,989 --> 00:12:21,616
- Just a thumbs up emoji.

336
00:12:21,658 --> 00:12:23,243
- Well, that's
better than nothing.

337
00:12:23,284 --> 00:12:24,744
- Actually, it was
a thumbs down emoji,

338
00:12:24,786 --> 00:12:26,037
but at least he responded.

339
00:12:26,079 --> 00:12:27,497
- Okay, well, I'll be flying in

340
00:12:27,539 --> 00:12:29,290
for the Christmas Eve Banquet,

341
00:12:29,332 --> 00:12:30,959
so good luck until then.

342
00:12:31,001 --> 00:12:32,419
And let me know if you
need anything, okay?

343
00:12:32,460 --> 00:12:33,753
- Will do.

344
00:12:33,795 --> 00:12:37,173
(light music)

345
00:12:37,215 --> 00:12:40,301
(gravel crunching)

346
00:12:43,596 --> 00:12:46,474
(music continues)

347
00:12:46,516 --> 00:12:47,767
(intercom beeps)

348
00:12:47,809 --> 00:12:50,145
- [Chis] Hello, can I help you?

349
00:12:50,186 --> 00:12:51,354
- I hope so.

350
00:12:51,396 --> 00:12:53,064
This is April Collins.

351
00:12:53,106 --> 00:12:54,107
- [Chris] Yeah, of course.

352
00:12:54,149 --> 00:12:54,983
Come on up.

353
00:12:55,025 --> 00:12:56,109
- Okay.

354
00:12:56,151 --> 00:13:01,072
(gate creaks)
(bright music)

355
00:13:07,871 --> 00:13:08,872
- Ms. Collins.

356
00:13:08,913 --> 00:13:10,832
- Oh, April, please.

357
00:13:10,874 --> 00:13:12,334
- Oh, April.

358
00:13:12,375 --> 00:13:13,752
Chris Massey, old
friend of Harry's.

359
00:13:13,793 --> 00:13:14,794
- Harry's?

360
00:13:14,836 --> 00:13:16,588
- Oh, right.

361
00:13:16,629 --> 00:13:18,131
Harry, that's just what
his old friend's call him.

362
00:13:18,173 --> 00:13:19,841
- Oh.
- Yeah.

363
00:13:19,883 --> 00:13:22,886
You know, I sat behind Harry
first day, first grade.

364
00:13:22,927 --> 00:13:24,054
Now it's 30 years later.

365
00:13:24,095 --> 00:13:25,889
- (chuckles) That sounds a lot

366
00:13:25,930 --> 00:13:28,350
like Marty's witty friend
Sully from the books.

367
00:13:29,351 --> 00:13:30,310
- Guilty.

368
00:13:30,352 --> 00:13:32,645
(April laughs)

369
00:13:32,687 --> 00:13:34,564
- Wow, this house.

370
00:13:34,606 --> 00:13:36,107
- Yeah.

371
00:13:36,149 --> 00:13:37,650
Harry's childhood home
was donated to the town

372
00:13:37,692 --> 00:13:39,778
and it's now the Magical
Mistletoe Museum.

373
00:13:39,819 --> 00:13:41,446
- Oh (chuckles).

374
00:13:41,488 --> 00:13:42,822
- Yeah, I look after
this place when he's gone

375
00:13:42,864 --> 00:13:43,990
and when he's home, we hang out.

376
00:13:44,032 --> 00:13:45,658
It's been awhile, though.

377
00:13:45,700 --> 00:13:47,118
- Well, he's here now.

378
00:13:48,536 --> 00:13:50,038
He is here now, right?

379
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:51,998
- That is a good question.

380
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:53,667
I've just got back here myself.

381
00:13:53,708 --> 00:13:56,002
I volunteer as a driver
for the festival.

382
00:13:56,044 --> 00:14:00,590
- But he wouldn't just like
not show up, right (laughs)?

383
00:14:00,632 --> 00:14:02,592
- Harry?

384
00:14:02,634 --> 00:14:04,761
Uh, I mean...

385
00:14:04,803 --> 00:14:07,389
Ah.

386
00:14:07,430 --> 00:14:08,473
- Fun.

387
00:14:08,515 --> 00:14:10,934
Yeah, this will be fun.

388
00:14:14,104 --> 00:14:16,189
- Huh, I don't see his bags.

389
00:14:16,231 --> 00:14:17,440
- Oh.

390
00:14:17,482 --> 00:14:18,858
- I'm gonna check upstairs.

391
00:14:18,900 --> 00:14:19,943
I'll be right back.

392
00:14:19,984 --> 00:14:21,695
- Okay.
- Hey, Harry!

393
00:14:21,736 --> 00:14:23,238
Harry?

394
00:14:26,074 --> 00:14:29,703
- I'm just gonna
take a look around.

395
00:14:29,744 --> 00:14:33,081
(mischievous music)

396
00:14:37,252 --> 00:14:39,379
(April exhales)

397
00:14:39,421 --> 00:14:43,758
(sighs) I shoulda handcuffed
him and brought him myself.

398
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:44,884
- Then I wouldn't have gotten

399
00:14:44,926 --> 00:14:46,511
to see that look on your face.

400
00:14:46,553 --> 00:14:48,638
- Mr. Davis, how are ya?

401
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:49,556
- You all right?

402
00:14:49,597 --> 00:14:50,640
- I'm great. Fine.

403
00:14:50,682 --> 00:14:51,891
Yeah.
- You sure?

404
00:14:51,933 --> 00:14:53,309
You seem a little flustered

405
00:14:53,351 --> 00:14:54,728
like maybe you thought
I wouldn't show?

406
00:14:54,769 --> 00:14:56,062
- (snorts) Not at all.

407
00:14:56,104 --> 00:14:57,731
- [Harrington] No,
not even a bit?

408
00:14:57,772 --> 00:14:59,357
- Not even whatever
is less than a bit.

409
00:14:59,399 --> 00:15:02,110
- That's good because I
don't need a babysitter.

410
00:15:02,152 --> 00:15:03,778
- Good, 'cause I'm
not here to babysit.

411
00:15:03,820 --> 00:15:04,779
I'm here to make sure you don't

412
00:15:04,821 --> 00:15:06,156
have any more tantrums.

413
00:15:06,197 --> 00:15:07,741
- Sounds a lot
like a babysitter.

414
00:15:07,782 --> 00:15:09,993
- Which is exactly
what he needs.

415
00:15:10,035 --> 00:15:11,119
- [Harrington] Well,
what do you know?

416
00:15:11,161 --> 00:15:12,495
- (laughs) Come here, man.

417
00:15:12,537 --> 00:15:13,455
How are ya, man?

418
00:15:14,247 --> 00:15:15,457
- Good.

419
00:15:15,498 --> 00:15:17,083
- [Chris] Oh, it's
so good to see you.

420
00:15:17,125 --> 00:15:17,917
- [Harrington] You
too, you look great.

421
00:15:17,959 --> 00:15:19,419
- So do you.

422
00:15:19,461 --> 00:15:20,587
How was your flight?
- Oh, it was all right.

423
00:15:20,628 --> 00:15:21,963
Little jet lagged.

424
00:15:22,005 --> 00:15:23,423
- Hm, I don't think
that's jet lag.

425
00:15:23,465 --> 00:15:24,674
I think that's I don't
wanna do this lag.

426
00:15:24,716 --> 00:15:27,010
- Oh (chuckles).

427
00:15:27,052 --> 00:15:28,887
Gonna be an eventful week.

428
00:15:28,928 --> 00:15:30,388
- It certainly is.

429
00:15:30,430 --> 00:15:33,350
Speaking of, I made a
few minor adjustments

430
00:15:33,391 --> 00:15:36,936
to your itinerary of
the myriad appearances

431
00:15:36,978 --> 00:15:38,104
you signed me up for.

432
00:15:38,146 --> 00:15:40,607
I will appear at three events.

433
00:15:40,648 --> 00:15:41,775
Exactly three.

434
00:15:41,816 --> 00:15:43,234
No more, no less.

435
00:15:44,319 --> 00:15:46,029
- Fine.

436
00:15:46,071 --> 00:15:47,906
Does one of them happen to
be the kickoff party tonight

437
00:15:47,947 --> 00:15:49,282
for the volunteers?

438
00:15:49,324 --> 00:15:50,700
- I think I'm gonna
sit this one out.

439
00:15:50,742 --> 00:15:52,702
You know, let's get settled in.

440
00:15:52,744 --> 00:15:53,953
- [Chis] Okay.

441
00:15:53,995 --> 00:15:55,622
- Okay, I'll be here at 10 a.m.

442
00:15:55,663 --> 00:15:56,956
- Ah, but will I?

443
00:15:56,998 --> 00:16:00,085
(playful music)

444
00:16:01,586 --> 00:16:02,837
Jokes.

445
00:16:02,879 --> 00:16:03,713
Jokes.

446
00:16:03,755 --> 00:16:04,964
- Hm?
- Jokes.

447
00:16:05,006 --> 00:16:05,924
I'm joking.

448
00:16:05,965 --> 00:16:07,300
We're so serious.

449
00:16:07,342 --> 00:16:08,343
I can't wait.

450
00:16:09,386 --> 00:16:11,304
- [Chis] Hey,
welcome home, Harry.

451
00:16:11,346 --> 00:16:13,056
I missed you.

452
00:16:15,433 --> 00:16:16,976
- He's a funny guy.

453
00:16:17,018 --> 00:16:18,812
- Yeah.
- Hm.

454
00:16:18,853 --> 00:16:20,563
- It's not you, okay?

455
00:16:20,605 --> 00:16:23,274
It's just Harry bein' Harry.

456
00:16:23,316 --> 00:16:24,609
If he really didn't like you,

457
00:16:24,651 --> 00:16:26,695
he wouldn't speak to you at all.

458
00:16:26,736 --> 00:16:28,488
- Wonderful.

459
00:16:28,530 --> 00:16:30,990
(scoffs) I think this definitely
will be an eventful week.

460
00:16:31,032 --> 00:16:32,242
- [Chis] Hm.

461
00:16:33,368 --> 00:16:38,164
(bright holiday music)
(singers vocalizing)

462
00:16:42,711 --> 00:16:45,714
(music continues)

463
00:16:48,758 --> 00:16:50,301
- There she is.

464
00:16:51,011 --> 00:16:52,846
Hi, you must be Ms. Collins.

465
00:16:52,887 --> 00:16:54,180
We've been expecting you.

466
00:16:54,222 --> 00:16:55,598
- Here, let me take
this (chuckles).

467
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:56,641
- Thank you.

468
00:16:56,683 --> 00:16:57,851
- I'm Marcus.

469
00:16:57,892 --> 00:16:59,561
- Marcus.
- And I'm Sue.

470
00:16:59,602 --> 00:17:00,478
- Sue.
- Welcome.

471
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:01,688
- Thank you.

472
00:17:01,730 --> 00:17:03,189
April, please.
- Hi, April.

473
00:17:03,231 --> 00:17:05,483
- So, you're the one
who publishes the books?

474
00:17:05,525 --> 00:17:08,194
- Well, I'm just in charge
of publicity at Silver Spark.

475
00:17:08,236 --> 00:17:10,238
- Oh, well that is
just as important.

476
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:11,948
Harrington and his books,

477
00:17:11,990 --> 00:17:13,616
they mean so much
to everybody here,

478
00:17:13,658 --> 00:17:15,243
especially at the holidays.

479
00:17:15,285 --> 00:17:16,870
- How 'bout I take this

480
00:17:16,911 --> 00:17:17,996
up to your room
while you two finish?

481
00:17:18,038 --> 00:17:19,414
- [April] Thank you.

482
00:17:19,456 --> 00:17:20,582
- And if you could
fill this out for me?

483
00:17:20,623 --> 00:17:21,583
- Sure.

484
00:17:25,587 --> 00:17:27,547
I can't believe how
much this place looks

485
00:17:27,589 --> 00:17:29,466
like the Stargazer
Inn from the movies.

486
00:17:29,507 --> 00:17:33,053
- (chuckles)
Honestly, this place,

487
00:17:33,094 --> 00:17:35,722
well, we were all struggling
before Harrington,

488
00:17:35,764 --> 00:17:38,767
but after the first movie, we
got this surge in customers.

489
00:17:38,808 --> 00:17:42,270
So, we changed the name to
Stargazer Inn to match the book,

490
00:17:42,312 --> 00:17:43,271
and then the rest is history.

491
00:17:43,313 --> 00:17:44,773
- Huh.

492
00:17:44,814 --> 00:17:47,400
So, Harrington's books have
really helped this town?

493
00:17:47,442 --> 00:17:52,280
- Oh, hun, Harrington and
his books saved this town.

494
00:17:52,322 --> 00:17:54,491
That's why we're so excited
that he finally came back home.

495
00:17:54,532 --> 00:17:58,078
I mean, we miss him and
his wonderful parents,

496
00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:59,454
may they rest in peace.

497
00:17:59,496 --> 00:18:01,414
- Oh, I didn't
realize they'd passed.

498
00:18:01,456 --> 00:18:05,710
- Oh, Lawrence Davis, he passed
away almost nine years ago.

499
00:18:05,752 --> 00:18:08,838
His mom, Tilly, she left
us four years later.

500
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,632
They were such wonderful people.

501
00:18:10,674 --> 00:18:12,509
They never left this town.

502
00:18:12,550 --> 00:18:15,887
Even after their home had was
getting all of these visitors,

503
00:18:15,929 --> 00:18:18,723
and Tilly, she would go out and
offer them Christmas cookies

504
00:18:18,765 --> 00:18:21,267
and cocoa while they
stood outside hoping

505
00:18:21,309 --> 00:18:23,103
the Christmas
Fairy would arrive.

506
00:18:23,144 --> 00:18:25,146
- Oh, that's sweet (chuckles).

507
00:18:25,188 --> 00:18:26,231
- Right this way.

508
00:18:26,272 --> 00:18:29,234
(bright music)

509
00:18:32,987 --> 00:18:35,615
(all chattering)

510
00:18:35,657 --> 00:18:37,117
- Ms. Collins.
- Ah.

511
00:18:37,158 --> 00:18:38,702
- [Lisa] So glad
you could make it.

512
00:18:38,743 --> 00:18:39,452
- Please call me April.

513
00:18:39,494 --> 00:18:40,912
- Oh.

514
00:18:40,954 --> 00:18:43,248
Well, so where's
the man of the hour?

515
00:18:43,289 --> 00:18:44,958
- (chuckles) I
need to apologize.

516
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,376
Mr. Davis needed his rest,

517
00:18:46,418 --> 00:18:48,420
but he's very excited
for the festival.

518
00:18:49,170 --> 00:18:50,714
- I understand.

519
00:18:50,755 --> 00:18:52,132
Well, let me make the rounds

520
00:18:52,173 --> 00:18:54,009
and mingle and enjoy yourself.

521
00:18:54,050 --> 00:18:55,301
- Okay.

522
00:18:55,343 --> 00:18:55,927
- Okay?
- Thank you, I will.

523
00:18:58,763 --> 00:19:00,181
- [Lisa] Yes.

524
00:19:05,437 --> 00:19:06,855
- Go with the Mistletoe Punch.

525
00:19:06,896 --> 00:19:08,356
- Oh (chuckles).

526
00:19:08,398 --> 00:19:09,816
- The Starry Night,
bit of an aftertaste.

527
00:19:09,858 --> 00:19:11,568
No offense.

528
00:19:11,609 --> 00:19:13,778
And the nog might as well
be called Hangover Nog.

529
00:19:13,820 --> 00:19:14,654
- Oo.

530
00:19:14,696 --> 00:19:16,197
- Yeah.

531
00:19:16,239 --> 00:19:18,491
But the Mistletoe Punch
is actually pretty good.

532
00:19:18,533 --> 00:19:20,869
- Looks like I'll be taking
a Mistletoe Punch, please.

533
00:19:20,910 --> 00:19:22,704
- Make that two.
(April laughs)

534
00:19:22,746 --> 00:19:24,205
Thank you very much.

535
00:19:24,914 --> 00:19:25,832
- Thank you.
- Cheers.

536
00:19:25,874 --> 00:19:27,042
- Cheers.

537
00:19:27,083 --> 00:19:28,460
- I'm Lindsay.
- I'm April.

538
00:19:28,501 --> 00:19:30,170
I'm from Silver
Spark Publishing.

539
00:19:30,211 --> 00:19:31,671
- Oh!
- Mm hm.

540
00:19:31,713 --> 00:19:33,214
- Okay, so you're
here to wrangle Harry.

541
00:19:33,256 --> 00:19:36,009
- (laughs) You two
must be old friends?

542
00:19:36,051 --> 00:19:37,469
- Wait, I mean, yes.

543
00:19:37,510 --> 00:19:39,137
But what gives you
that impression?

544
00:19:39,179 --> 00:19:40,555
- Well, I met Chris
today and he said

545
00:19:40,597 --> 00:19:42,807
that only friends
call him Harry.

546
00:19:42,849 --> 00:19:44,351
(Lindsay laughs)

547
00:19:44,392 --> 00:19:46,102
- Okay, well, Harry and Chris

548
00:19:46,144 --> 00:19:47,812
and I were absolutely thick
as thieves when we were kids.

549
00:19:47,854 --> 00:19:50,857
So, you know, whole Three
Christmateers thing.

550
00:19:50,899 --> 00:19:52,359
- Ah ha!
- Yeah.

551
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,402
- Does that mean that
Misty is based on you?

552
00:19:54,444 --> 00:19:55,487
- What?

553
00:19:56,196 --> 00:19:57,405
You have to ask Harry that.

554
00:19:57,447 --> 00:19:59,032
- (chuckles) Well, by the way,

555
00:19:59,074 --> 00:20:00,200
I'm not here to wrangle him.

556
00:20:00,241 --> 00:20:01,618
I'm just here to make sure-

557
00:20:01,659 --> 00:20:04,037
- He doesn't make any
boneheaded remarks?

558
00:20:04,079 --> 00:20:05,372
- (chuckles)
Something like that.

559
00:20:05,413 --> 00:20:06,748
- Yeah.
(April chuckles)

560
00:20:06,790 --> 00:20:08,541
I get it.

561
00:20:08,583 --> 00:20:10,543
He just forgets his words
have meaning sometimes.

562
00:20:10,585 --> 00:20:13,088
- His words actually mean
a lot to a lot of people.

563
00:20:13,129 --> 00:20:14,547
I tried to tell
him that ages ago,

564
00:20:14,589 --> 00:20:16,966
but, well, you've met Harry.

565
00:20:17,008 --> 00:20:19,636
He can be a little bit stubborn.

566
00:20:19,678 --> 00:20:21,930
- Ah, that is the
understatement of the year.

567
00:20:21,971 --> 00:20:23,056
(Lindsay laughs)

568
00:20:23,098 --> 00:20:23,890
He called me a babysitter.

569
00:20:23,932 --> 00:20:25,517
- Oo, ouch.

570
00:20:25,558 --> 00:20:26,601
Although that does sound
a little bit like Harry.

571
00:20:26,643 --> 00:20:27,852
He's pretty good at paper cuts.

572
00:20:27,894 --> 00:20:28,853
- Hm.

573
00:20:30,438 --> 00:20:32,357
- Do you have any
intel that might help

574
00:20:32,399 --> 00:20:33,733
me get him to warm up to me?

575
00:20:33,775 --> 00:20:34,567
- Mm hm.

576
00:20:34,609 --> 00:20:36,277
Okay.

577
00:20:36,319 --> 00:20:37,737
Well, I mean, I'm sure
that you are doing great,

578
00:20:37,779 --> 00:20:39,906
but he's a little
bit of a prickly guy,

579
00:20:39,948 --> 00:20:42,659
so you know, if he's being
a little standoffish,

580
00:20:42,701 --> 00:20:44,077
you're probably on
the right track.

581
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:45,912
And you know what?

582
00:20:45,954 --> 00:20:47,872
Just own up to your mistakes.

583
00:20:47,914 --> 00:20:49,165
He's a straight shooter.

584
00:20:49,207 --> 00:20:51,084
- Hey, Linds.
- Hey.

585
00:20:51,126 --> 00:20:52,752
How are you?
- Oh, great.

586
00:20:52,794 --> 00:20:53,795
- How are you?

587
00:20:53,837 --> 00:20:55,005
- April, this is Susan.

588
00:20:55,046 --> 00:20:57,007
She owns Miss Muffin's Bakery.

589
00:20:57,048 --> 00:20:58,800
- Miss Muffin's Bakery?

590
00:20:58,842 --> 00:20:59,843
It's a real place?

591
00:20:59,884 --> 00:21:01,261
- That's me.

592
00:21:01,302 --> 00:21:02,595
It's been in my
family for years.

593
00:21:02,637 --> 00:21:04,139
- [April] Ah.

594
00:21:04,180 --> 00:21:05,557
- In fact, Harrington
used to be a regular

595
00:21:05,598 --> 00:21:07,267
when he was a kid.
- Oh, yeah.

596
00:21:07,308 --> 00:21:09,227
- He always loved his cinnamon.

597
00:21:09,269 --> 00:21:11,229
- Mm hm.
- Just like Marty.

598
00:21:11,271 --> 00:21:12,772
- Excuse me, everyone.

599
00:21:13,982 --> 00:21:16,151
As always, thank you so much

600
00:21:16,192 --> 00:21:18,278
for your tireless
work this year.

601
00:21:18,319 --> 00:21:20,947
This is gonna be our
largest turnout yet

602
00:21:20,989 --> 00:21:24,534
and I know that everything
is gonna be spectacular.

603
00:21:24,576 --> 00:21:27,328
So, as a token of
our appreciation,

604
00:21:27,370 --> 00:21:29,914
please come up and get
a Christmas ornament,

605
00:21:29,956 --> 00:21:34,127
grab a pen, write
down a Christmas wish,

606
00:21:34,169 --> 00:21:35,795
and put it inside the ornament

607
00:21:35,837 --> 00:21:38,256
and hang it on the
Christmas tree.

608
00:21:38,298 --> 00:21:39,716
Merry Christmas, everyone.

609
00:21:39,758 --> 00:21:41,509
- I love that.

610
00:21:41,551 --> 00:21:42,802
Okay, I'm gonna do one.

611
00:21:42,844 --> 00:21:43,845
- Yeah, sounds good.

612
00:21:43,887 --> 00:21:44,763
- [Susan and April] Bye.

613
00:21:44,804 --> 00:21:46,056
- Shall we?

614
00:21:46,097 --> 00:21:47,599
- Oh, I couldn't.
- What?

615
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,143
I mean, you single-handedly
got Harry here

616
00:21:50,185 --> 00:21:52,062
for the holidays somehow.

617
00:21:52,103 --> 00:21:53,813
Come on.

618
00:21:53,855 --> 00:21:56,816
You of all people deserve
a Christmas wish (laughs).

619
00:22:00,028 --> 00:22:01,321
- Hm.

620
00:22:01,363 --> 00:22:06,701
(gentle music)
(all chattering)

621
00:22:11,748 --> 00:22:14,834
(music continues)

622
00:22:19,381 --> 00:22:24,719
(group laughs)
(music continues)

623
00:22:31,893 --> 00:22:34,896
(music continues)

624
00:22:42,070 --> 00:22:45,115
(music continues)

625
00:22:48,201 --> 00:22:58,294
(music fades)

626
00:22:58,336 --> 00:23:00,338
- [Harrington] Hope you
haven't been waiting too long.

627
00:23:00,380 --> 00:23:02,465
- [April] Good
morning, Mr. Davis.

628
00:23:04,551 --> 00:23:05,677
Peace offering.

629
00:23:05,719 --> 00:23:06,678
- Oh, I don't drink coffee.

630
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:07,929
- Peppermint tea.

631
00:23:10,265 --> 00:23:11,516
- Thanks.

632
00:23:11,558 --> 00:23:13,018
But I take it with-
- Sugar?

633
00:23:15,770 --> 00:23:18,023
- Well, aren't you prepared?
- I try.

634
00:23:20,150 --> 00:23:25,405
* Must be that mistletoe magic

635
00:23:27,073 --> 00:23:28,491
* 'Cause I'm seeing you in
such a different light *

636
00:23:28,533 --> 00:23:30,410
- Lantern lighting
seems like a big deal.

637
00:23:31,578 --> 00:23:32,579
- Mm hm.

638
00:23:34,372 --> 00:23:35,623
- I'm excited to see it.

639
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,672
It must be pretty great if
you put it in the books.

640
00:23:43,423 --> 00:23:45,050
- Fan are you?

641
00:23:46,051 --> 00:23:47,260
- I've read them.

642
00:23:48,261 --> 00:23:50,138
Couldn't properly do
my job if I hadn't.

643
00:23:51,556 --> 00:23:56,144
- You know, lantern lighting
used to be something to see.

644
00:23:57,187 --> 00:23:58,813
Now it's just another
gimmick in town.

645
00:23:58,855 --> 00:24:00,065
You know, they used to
give 'em out for free.

646
00:24:00,106 --> 00:24:02,650
But now, oh boy, now you can buy

647
00:24:02,692 --> 00:24:06,237
special "Magic in Mistletoe"
lanterns for the right price.

648
00:24:06,279 --> 00:24:07,739
Of course.

649
00:24:07,781 --> 00:24:09,240
Ridiculous.

650
00:24:09,282 --> 00:24:11,868
It's just another lovely
Christmas tradition

651
00:24:11,910 --> 00:24:13,328
that they managed to ruin.

652
00:24:13,370 --> 00:24:15,205
- There's nothing
wrong with the town

653
00:24:15,246 --> 00:24:18,041
benefiting from your success.

654
00:24:18,083 --> 00:24:20,168
Everyone that I've
met is grateful.

655
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,130
Maybe we should go over
some talking points.

656
00:24:24,172 --> 00:24:25,006
- Mm hm.

657
00:24:25,048 --> 00:24:26,049
- Panels can be tricky.

658
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,218
I've come up with some answers

659
00:24:28,259 --> 00:24:29,761
in case any thorny
issues come up.

660
00:24:29,803 --> 00:24:31,221
- I think I can handle it.

661
00:24:31,262 --> 00:24:33,014
- Please do not mention
the social media post,

662
00:24:33,056 --> 00:24:35,016
unless someone else does.

663
00:24:35,058 --> 00:24:37,477
If they do, just say it was
regrettable and I'm sorry.

664
00:24:37,519 --> 00:24:40,313
- Like I said, I
think I can handle it.

665
00:24:40,355 --> 00:24:41,648
- No offense, but I don't think

666
00:24:41,690 --> 00:24:42,691
we can really be sure of that.

667
00:24:42,732 --> 00:24:44,567
- Oh, come on.

668
00:24:44,609 --> 00:24:46,194
It was one post.

669
00:24:46,236 --> 00:24:47,696
- Oh, so you think
it wasn't a big deal?

670
00:24:47,737 --> 00:24:49,906
- (chuckles)
Honestly, no, I don't.

671
00:24:49,948 --> 00:24:51,282
- Then why are you back?

672
00:24:51,324 --> 00:24:53,743
- Because you
threatened to sue me.

673
00:24:55,662 --> 00:24:57,539
- Well, now you're here,

674
00:24:57,580 --> 00:25:00,041
why don't you just
make the best of it?

675
00:25:01,042 --> 00:25:02,711
- Oh, I am making
the best of it.

676
00:25:02,752 --> 00:25:04,212
This is me making
the best of it.

677
00:25:04,254 --> 00:25:06,297
This is the best,
like it or leave it.

678
00:25:06,339 --> 00:25:07,674
- You know what?

679
00:25:07,716 --> 00:25:09,551
(chuckles) I get it.

680
00:25:09,592 --> 00:25:15,015
You are a sullen author who
loathes his own success,

681
00:25:15,765 --> 00:25:17,225
but your fans have traveled

682
00:25:17,267 --> 00:25:18,935
from all over the
world to see you.

683
00:25:18,977 --> 00:25:21,396
And this town that
you apparently hate

684
00:25:21,438 --> 00:25:23,732
has worked tirelessly
to honor you

685
00:25:23,773 --> 00:25:27,277
because believe it or not,
they actually love you.

686
00:25:27,318 --> 00:25:29,571
So, I don't care if you like me,

687
00:25:29,612 --> 00:25:32,907
but you will dazzle this
crowd because after all,

688
00:25:32,949 --> 00:25:35,368
"Christmas is more
than just magic."

689
00:25:38,038 --> 00:25:40,623
Yes, that is a quote
from your books.

690
00:25:40,665 --> 00:25:43,126
Can you just pretend to like
the books that you wrote,

691
00:25:43,168 --> 00:25:47,005
and I will pretend to like
the author who wrote them.

692
00:25:47,047 --> 00:25:50,050
(playful music)

693
00:25:56,723 --> 00:25:59,517
* Oh what fun it is to ride
in a one horse open sleigh *

694
00:25:59,559 --> 00:26:00,769
* Hey

695
00:26:00,810 --> 00:26:02,228
* Jingle bells, jingle bells

696
00:26:02,270 --> 00:26:03,897
* Jingle all the way

697
00:26:03,938 --> 00:26:06,566
- How tall do you think
Harrington is now?

698
00:26:07,233 --> 00:26:09,861
- April, good morning.

699
00:26:09,903 --> 00:26:11,029
Where's Harrington?

700
00:26:11,071 --> 00:26:12,739
- He's still in the car.

701
00:26:12,781 --> 00:26:14,991
We had a bit of-
- Lisa.

702
00:26:15,033 --> 00:26:17,327
- Ah, Harrington.
(Harrington laughs)

703
00:26:17,369 --> 00:26:19,829
- Suppose I should
call you Mayor now.

704
00:26:19,871 --> 00:26:22,749
Congratulations.
- What was in that tea?

705
00:26:22,791 --> 00:26:23,875
- Superstar!

706
00:26:23,917 --> 00:26:25,877
Look who finally came home.

707
00:26:25,919 --> 00:26:27,462
Last time I saw you

708
00:26:27,504 --> 00:26:32,050
it was in my rear view
beatin' you in the 400.

709
00:26:32,092 --> 00:26:33,468
(Lance imitates engine rumbling)

710
00:26:33,510 --> 00:26:34,886
(all laughing)

711
00:26:34,928 --> 00:26:36,888
- April, this is
Lance Lightning,

712
00:26:36,930 --> 00:26:39,015
Mistletoe's favorite DJ.

713
00:26:39,057 --> 00:26:40,183
- [Lance] Enchante.

714
00:26:40,225 --> 00:26:41,976
- Thanks again, Harrington.

715
00:26:42,018 --> 00:26:43,645
The moment that we
announced you were coming,

716
00:26:43,687 --> 00:26:45,689
tourism skyrocketed.

717
00:26:45,730 --> 00:26:47,565
- Hm.

718
00:26:47,607 --> 00:26:49,234
- Can you imagine if you came
home every year (chuckles)?

719
00:26:49,275 --> 00:26:50,652
We'd have to build new
hotels so that people

720
00:26:50,694 --> 00:26:52,195
wouldn't have to stay
in neighboring towns.

721
00:26:52,237 --> 00:26:54,155
- I'm so sorry to interrupt.

722
00:26:54,197 --> 00:26:55,615
But according to the schedule,

723
00:26:55,657 --> 00:26:57,701
the children's choir
is about to finish up,

724
00:26:57,742 --> 00:26:59,285
followed by Lance's introduction

725
00:26:59,327 --> 00:27:01,329
and then Harrington's Q&A.

726
00:27:01,371 --> 00:27:02,872
(audience applauding)

727
00:27:02,914 --> 00:27:04,708
- Wow, you were
right on the money.

728
00:27:04,749 --> 00:27:06,292
Let me go warm this crowd
up for you, Harrington.

729
00:27:06,334 --> 00:27:06,918
Yeah?

730
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,086
- Let's go.

731
00:27:08,128 --> 00:27:10,922
(light music)

732
00:27:10,964 --> 00:27:14,342
(audience applauding)

733
00:27:16,052 --> 00:27:18,722
- Give it up for our
Mistletoe Christmas Choir.

734
00:27:18,763 --> 00:27:20,056
Weren't they fantastic?

735
00:27:20,098 --> 00:27:22,183
(audience applauding)

736
00:27:22,225 --> 00:27:23,351
I'm Lance Lightning.

737
00:27:23,393 --> 00:27:25,645
I'll be your MC for tonight.

738
00:27:26,271 --> 00:27:27,856
(audience applauding)

739
00:27:27,897 --> 00:27:29,315
We all know what
we're doin' here.

740
00:27:29,357 --> 00:27:32,610
Mistletoe's most famous
is in the building.

741
00:27:32,652 --> 00:27:36,781
(audience applauding)
(audience members cheering)

742
00:27:36,823 --> 00:27:40,660
Now, you all know him as
the magic behind the pen.

743
00:27:40,702 --> 00:27:42,287
At the young age of 18,

744
00:27:42,328 --> 00:27:46,291
Harrington Davis wrote
"Magic in Mistletoe,"

745
00:27:46,332 --> 00:27:48,001
about a young boy named Marty

746
00:27:48,043 --> 00:27:51,379
and his two best
friends, Misty and Sully.

747
00:27:51,421 --> 00:27:54,883
Marty's wishes are granted
by the Christmas Fairy,

748
00:27:54,924 --> 00:27:57,427
but once the wishes come true,

749
00:27:57,469 --> 00:27:59,888
everything goes
haywire (chuckles).

750
00:27:59,929 --> 00:28:01,473
But you all know this, right?

751
00:28:01,514 --> 00:28:03,266
So, let's get him out here.

752
00:28:03,308 --> 00:28:05,226
You know him as Harrington.

753
00:28:05,268 --> 00:28:10,440
I call him Crush 'cause I
crushed him at every track meet.

754
00:28:11,441 --> 00:28:13,026
(Lance chuckles)
(Harrington exhales)

755
00:28:13,068 --> 00:28:14,402
- Is this why he
didn't wanna come home?

756
00:28:14,444 --> 00:28:15,570
- So let's get him
out here, right?

757
00:28:15,612 --> 00:28:16,654
- What, this guy?

758
00:28:16,696 --> 00:28:17,864
- [Lance] And let's give

759
00:28:17,906 --> 00:28:19,616
a big Mistletoe welcome
- Nah, nah,

760
00:28:19,657 --> 00:28:20,492
- to our own Harrington Davis.
- this guy's harmless.

761
00:28:20,533 --> 00:28:21,951
Time to shine.

762
00:28:21,993 --> 00:28:26,289
(audience applauding)
(light music)

763
00:28:29,751 --> 00:28:30,877
- This guy (chuckles).

764
00:28:30,919 --> 00:28:31,836
- This guy.

765
00:28:31,878 --> 00:28:34,005
(audience laughs)

766
00:28:34,047 --> 00:28:35,674
Hello, Mistletoe.

767
00:28:38,343 --> 00:28:42,389
- So Harrington, you've
created this magical world.

768
00:28:42,430 --> 00:28:45,892
Tell us, what inspires
you to continue writing?

769
00:28:48,019 --> 00:28:49,437
- Funny thing, you know,

770
00:28:50,522 --> 00:28:54,859
inspiration comes in
unpredictable waves.

771
00:28:56,486 --> 00:28:58,196
Sometimes I wish I could just
plug my brain into a machine

772
00:28:58,238 --> 00:28:59,698
and have it generate
ideas for me.

773
00:28:59,739 --> 00:29:01,449
And I mean, that's...
(audience laughs)

774
00:29:01,491 --> 00:29:05,328
I think the true
driving force behind

775
00:29:05,370 --> 00:29:10,709
my love of writing
is my parents.

776
00:29:11,918 --> 00:29:14,921
They gave everything to me.

777
00:29:16,256 --> 00:29:18,550
You know, my dad loved to read,

778
00:29:18,591 --> 00:29:20,969
so we always had a
house full of books,

779
00:29:21,011 --> 00:29:24,347
and stories were very important.

780
00:29:24,389 --> 00:29:28,977
And Christmas was my mom's
favorite time of year.

781
00:29:30,270 --> 00:29:33,773
Together those two
were magic for me.

782
00:29:34,858 --> 00:29:39,195
And to be honest,
it's been a lot harder

783
00:29:39,237 --> 00:29:42,532
to find that magic
since they've been gone.

784
00:29:43,575 --> 00:29:45,744
- And as someone who
knew your parents,

785
00:29:45,785 --> 00:29:50,331
I can tell you they loved you
so much, and we love them.

786
00:29:51,458 --> 00:29:53,668
Unfortunately, that's
all the time we have.

787
00:29:56,129 --> 00:29:58,340
- Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, hang on.

788
00:29:58,381 --> 00:29:59,883
Think we might have one more.

789
00:29:59,924 --> 00:30:01,426
- Looks like the last

790
00:30:01,468 --> 00:30:04,054
question's coming from a
little Christmas Fairy.

791
00:30:04,095 --> 00:30:05,430
- And I have to say,

792
00:30:05,472 --> 00:30:09,809
you are the most
perfect Christmas Fairy

793
00:30:09,851 --> 00:30:11,353
that I have ever seen.

794
00:30:11,394 --> 00:30:13,021
Do we agree?

795
00:30:13,063 --> 00:30:16,441
(audience applauding)

796
00:30:18,735 --> 00:30:19,361
Hello.

797
00:30:19,402 --> 00:30:20,445
- Mr. Davis?

798
00:30:20,487 --> 00:30:22,072
- Call me Harrington.

799
00:30:22,113 --> 00:30:24,574
- Mr. Harrington,
(audience laughs)

800
00:30:24,616 --> 00:30:28,119
I was wondering, is the
Christmas Fairy real?

801
00:30:28,161 --> 00:30:31,122
(Harrington exhales)

802
00:30:31,164 --> 00:30:33,416
- Let me ask you a question.

803
00:30:33,458 --> 00:30:35,710
Do you think the
Christmas Fairy is real?

804
00:30:35,752 --> 00:30:37,003
- Of course I do.

805
00:30:38,588 --> 00:30:40,674
- Then that is all that matters.

806
00:30:40,715 --> 00:30:44,928
(gentle music)
(crowd members murmuring)

807
00:30:44,969 --> 00:30:46,346
- There you have it (laughs).

808
00:30:46,388 --> 00:30:50,684
(audience applauding)
(music continues)

809
00:30:50,725 --> 00:30:53,144
Thanks again, Harrington for
taking the time to do this.

810
00:30:53,186 --> 00:30:54,646
Tomorrow he's judging

811
00:30:54,688 --> 00:30:57,065
the Christmas dessert
contest, everyone.

812
00:30:57,107 --> 00:30:59,025
So, come on out.

813
00:30:59,067 --> 00:31:01,486
Harrington, any final words?

814
00:31:02,195 --> 00:31:03,571
- I just want to say thank you

815
00:31:03,613 --> 00:31:06,908
for this incredible
turnout today.

816
00:31:06,950 --> 00:31:08,952
It means more than you know.

817
00:31:08,993 --> 00:31:10,370
Thank you.

818
00:31:10,412 --> 00:31:15,125
(audience applauding)
(gentle music)

819
00:31:19,212 --> 00:31:23,508
(music continues)
(applause continues)

820
00:31:23,550 --> 00:31:25,885
- I gotta say, great job.

821
00:31:26,428 --> 00:31:29,848
(music continues)

822
00:31:29,889 --> 00:31:35,145
Look, I need to apologize
for my outburst earlier.

823
00:31:36,062 --> 00:31:37,522
It was super unprofessional.

824
00:31:37,564 --> 00:31:39,941
- No, you were right.

825
00:31:39,983 --> 00:31:41,526
You were right.

826
00:31:41,568 --> 00:31:43,278
I was being a jerk.

827
00:31:43,319 --> 00:31:45,196
And I wasn't seeing
the big picture

828
00:31:45,238 --> 00:31:47,949
and you called me out on it.

829
00:31:47,991 --> 00:31:49,367
I should be thanking you

830
00:31:49,409 --> 00:31:51,870
for helping me see
what's important.

831
00:31:51,911 --> 00:31:53,079
- Wow (laughs).

832
00:31:54,789 --> 00:31:57,000
I pretty much said
all of that before.

833
00:31:57,042 --> 00:31:58,835
What changed?

834
00:31:58,877 --> 00:32:01,755
- I don't know, I guess I
didn't read like PR spin.

835
00:32:02,797 --> 00:32:05,342
I mean, it was still
wildly unprofessional.

836
00:32:05,383 --> 00:32:06,593
- Yeah (chuckles).

837
00:32:07,260 --> 00:32:10,388
- But it was genuine.

838
00:32:10,430 --> 00:32:11,723
- I was about to say,
I was just doing my job

839
00:32:11,765 --> 00:32:13,391
but that doesn't
seem right anymore.

840
00:32:13,433 --> 00:32:15,185
- Little late (chuckles).

841
00:32:16,519 --> 00:32:18,646
- I know that you didn't
want to come back here,

842
00:32:18,688 --> 00:32:20,440
but I do think that together

843
00:32:20,482 --> 00:32:23,109
we can really turn
everything around.

844
00:32:27,614 --> 00:32:29,949
- You know, I got all these
books just sitting here.

845
00:32:29,991 --> 00:32:34,079
I guess I could sign 'em
and give 'em to fans.

846
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:35,914
- That's a great idea.

847
00:32:35,955 --> 00:32:37,332
- You got a pen?

848
00:32:37,374 --> 00:32:40,043
- Oh, I have a gel
permanent ballpoint

849
00:32:40,085 --> 00:32:41,586
and a couple of pencils.

850
00:32:42,170 --> 00:32:43,171
- Wow.

851
00:32:43,213 --> 00:32:45,924
(bright music)

852
00:32:45,965 --> 00:32:47,384
I'm starting to think

853
00:32:47,425 --> 00:32:49,678
that's Mary Poppin's
magic bag you got there.

854
00:32:49,719 --> 00:32:51,638
- (chuckles) It's not magic.

855
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,974
I just like to be prepared
for anything and everything.

856
00:32:55,016 --> 00:32:56,101
- Yeah?

857
00:32:56,142 --> 00:32:57,310
You like to plan?

858
00:32:57,352 --> 00:32:59,771
You a planner?

859
00:32:59,813 --> 00:33:02,399
- I don't like surprises if
that's what you're asking.

860
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:03,942
I get enough of those
in my line of work.

861
00:33:03,983 --> 00:33:06,194
- When was the last time
someone surprised you?

862
00:33:07,821 --> 00:33:12,325
(April sighs)
(light music)

863
00:33:12,367 --> 00:33:13,743
"To Collins."

864
00:33:15,203 --> 00:33:16,871
That's Collins with a C?

865
00:33:18,456 --> 00:33:20,333
- Yeah, that's a C.

866
00:33:20,375 --> 00:33:24,796
- "My biggest fan."
(April laughing)

867
00:33:24,838 --> 00:33:27,590
(music fades)

868
00:33:31,386 --> 00:33:32,595
- So, what's he like?

869
00:33:32,637 --> 00:33:33,805
- Harrington?

870
00:33:34,472 --> 00:33:36,224
He's fine.

871
00:33:36,266 --> 00:33:38,059
A prickly to be honest.

872
00:33:38,101 --> 00:33:39,477
But I've been told

873
00:33:39,519 --> 00:33:42,313
that if Harrington
Davis is acting prickly,

874
00:33:42,355 --> 00:33:44,107
it's a good sign.

875
00:33:44,149 --> 00:33:45,859
- So, he likes you?

876
00:33:45,900 --> 00:33:48,361
- Well, he hasn't run me
outta town yet (chuckles).

877
00:33:49,654 --> 00:33:51,531
But for a guy who's created

878
00:33:51,573 --> 00:33:55,201
an imaginary world
around Christmas, he's
pretty sour on it.

879
00:33:55,243 --> 00:33:56,411
- Hm.

880
00:33:56,453 --> 00:33:57,871
Maybe he needs to be reminded

881
00:33:57,912 --> 00:33:59,205
why it was so important
to him to begin with.

882
00:33:59,247 --> 00:34:01,875
- That's good advice
as always, Mom.

883
00:34:01,916 --> 00:34:04,336
But I do have some things
to go over with him,

884
00:34:04,377 --> 00:34:05,337
so I should probably go.

885
00:34:05,378 --> 00:34:06,504
- Of course.

886
00:34:06,546 --> 00:34:07,922
I know you have a job to do.

887
00:34:07,964 --> 00:34:10,550
But just in case you
have some time to play,

888
00:34:10,592 --> 00:34:13,303
keep your eye open for
a special package, okay?

889
00:34:13,345 --> 00:34:15,055
- Mom, what did you do?

890
00:34:15,096 --> 00:34:18,266
- Let's just say I didn't
want you to be unprepared.

891
00:34:18,308 --> 00:34:19,684
Merry Christmas, Sweetheart.

892
00:34:19,726 --> 00:34:22,729
(light music)

893
00:34:23,730 --> 00:34:24,814
- And we've got another
one here for you.

894
00:34:24,856 --> 00:34:26,691
Enjoy, everyone.

895
00:34:26,733 --> 00:34:29,277
April, it's great to see you.

896
00:34:29,319 --> 00:34:30,445
You finally made it.

897
00:34:31,488 --> 00:34:33,365
(April chuckles)
(Susan chuckles)

898
00:34:33,406 --> 00:34:35,033
- Oh, now that I'm finally here

899
00:34:35,075 --> 00:34:36,451
I can't believe I
waited this long.

900
00:34:36,493 --> 00:34:37,744
So, this was your mom's spot?

901
00:34:37,786 --> 00:34:39,704
- Oh, I practically
grew up in here.

902
00:34:39,746 --> 00:34:40,914
So what can I give for you?

903
00:34:40,955 --> 00:34:42,874
Seriously, anything you want.

904
00:34:42,916 --> 00:34:45,043
- Well, actually, I'd like to
bring something to Harrington.

905
00:34:45,085 --> 00:34:47,545
A little gift for a great panel.

906
00:34:47,587 --> 00:34:49,172
- I have the perfect thing.

907
00:34:49,214 --> 00:34:50,382
Wait right here.

908
00:34:50,423 --> 00:34:52,300
I'll be right back.
- Okay.

909
00:34:52,342 --> 00:34:55,011
(light music)

910
00:35:01,768 --> 00:35:05,522
Oh, he is going to flip
for these, I promise.

911
00:35:05,563 --> 00:35:06,690
- Thank you so much.

912
00:35:06,731 --> 00:35:08,316
- Enjoy, they're delicious.

913
00:35:08,358 --> 00:35:09,359
- See you soon.
- Bye.

914
00:35:09,401 --> 00:35:10,360
- Bye.

915
00:35:10,402 --> 00:35:13,113
(light music)

916
00:35:16,616 --> 00:35:19,494
(April knocking)

917
00:35:22,497 --> 00:35:26,459
(jazzy holiday music playing)

918
00:35:27,752 --> 00:35:29,504
- [Harrington and April] Hi.

919
00:35:29,546 --> 00:35:30,714
(April chuckles)

920
00:35:30,755 --> 00:35:32,173
- I had a feeling giving you

921
00:35:32,215 --> 00:35:34,259
the gate code would
come back to haunt me.

922
00:35:34,300 --> 00:35:36,011
(April chuckles)

923
00:35:36,052 --> 00:35:37,012
Hope you're not here to go
over more talking points.

924
00:35:37,053 --> 00:35:38,680
- Actually, after today,

925
00:35:38,722 --> 00:35:41,266
I think you might be
good on talking points.

926
00:35:41,307 --> 00:35:43,143
I come bearing gifts.

927
00:35:44,144 --> 00:35:46,563
- Lump of coal
from an angry fan?

928
00:35:46,604 --> 00:35:48,273
Come on in, sit.
(April chuckles)

929
00:35:48,314 --> 00:35:52,736
- Well, it's actually a bit
of joy, I hope (chuckles).

930
00:35:52,777 --> 00:35:54,195
(jazzy Christmas music playing)

931
00:35:54,237 --> 00:35:55,196
- Hold on.

932
00:35:56,573 --> 00:35:59,284
Is Harrington Davis
listening to Christmas music?

933
00:35:59,325 --> 00:36:01,494
- Oh, barely, it's jazz.

934
00:36:01,536 --> 00:36:03,163
- Christmas Jazz (chuckles).

935
00:36:05,790 --> 00:36:07,292
Next thing you know,

936
00:36:07,334 --> 00:36:09,669
you'll have decorations
in here, maybe a tree.

937
00:36:09,711 --> 00:36:11,755
And seriously, you need a tree.

938
00:36:11,796 --> 00:36:13,965
- Nope, I don't do trees.

939
00:36:14,007 --> 00:36:15,759
- Not even a little one?

940
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,052
- Not even a twig.

941
00:36:17,552 --> 00:36:18,595
- Okay.

942
00:36:19,679 --> 00:36:20,889
- What do we got?

943
00:36:22,390 --> 00:36:23,350
Oh, come on.

944
00:36:23,391 --> 00:36:24,809
How did you know?

945
00:36:24,851 --> 00:36:26,603
- Susan from Miss
Muffin's Bakery.

946
00:36:28,104 --> 00:36:29,773
- (exhales) Well, we're
gonna need to make a fire.

947
00:36:29,814 --> 00:36:34,319
- Well, we're gonna
need to make a fire.

948
00:36:34,361 --> 00:36:35,320
- We?

949
00:36:36,738 --> 00:36:38,907
- (chuckles) You're supposed
to make it golden brown,

950
00:36:38,948 --> 00:36:40,492
not send it into the afterlife.

951
00:36:40,533 --> 00:36:41,993
Come on.
- That's fine (laughs).

952
00:36:43,036 --> 00:36:45,538
All right, all right.
- All right, okay.

953
00:36:45,580 --> 00:36:46,414
(April laughs)

954
00:36:46,456 --> 00:36:47,374
- Here we go.

955
00:36:47,415 --> 00:36:48,249
All right, easy.

956
00:36:48,291 --> 00:36:49,376
Lay it on there.

957
00:36:49,417 --> 00:36:50,585
- Okay.

958
00:36:50,627 --> 00:36:52,712
- This is the secret ingredient.

959
00:36:52,754 --> 00:36:53,672
- Oh.

960
00:36:53,713 --> 00:36:55,590
- Not too much.

961
00:36:55,632 --> 00:36:58,718
Steady, steady.
(April laughs)

962
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:00,929
And you're up.

963
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:03,723
- Oo!
- Yeah, perfect.

964
00:37:03,765 --> 00:37:05,892
Okay, give that a try.

965
00:37:06,434 --> 00:37:07,394
- Mm.

966
00:37:08,978 --> 00:37:14,234
(s'more cracks)
(gentle music)

967
00:37:14,567 --> 00:37:15,568
Mm, mm.

968
00:37:17,570 --> 00:37:19,072
What is happening?

969
00:37:19,739 --> 00:37:20,699
Is that cinnamon sugar?

970
00:37:20,740 --> 00:37:21,908
- Cinnamon sugar.

971
00:37:21,950 --> 00:37:24,035
- Mm.
- Mind blowing, right?

972
00:37:28,081 --> 00:37:30,959
- After seeing all the other
desserts at Miss Muffins,

973
00:37:31,001 --> 00:37:32,585
I thought she would
maybe give us something

974
00:37:32,627 --> 00:37:36,047
a little more spectacular
than s'mores, but wow!

975
00:37:37,048 --> 00:37:39,426
- Telling ya.
(April chuckles)

976
00:37:39,467 --> 00:37:42,679
- You know, Susan knew
just what to give you.

977
00:37:44,055 --> 00:37:45,682
This place is really special.

978
00:37:49,477 --> 00:37:51,104
Why did you write that post?

979
00:37:52,355 --> 00:37:54,441
- (sputters) Honestly,
I don't know.

980
00:37:55,525 --> 00:37:57,360
I mean, I have all
these amazing memories

981
00:37:57,402 --> 00:38:01,322
of Christmas as a kid,
filled my books with them,

982
00:38:02,657 --> 00:38:06,369
and then the movies and the
costumes and the lanterns.

983
00:38:06,411 --> 00:38:10,040
It's like, I wrote this
love letter to Christmas

984
00:38:10,081 --> 00:38:12,500
and it turned into a
tourist attraction.

985
00:38:12,542 --> 00:38:15,086
- The people here
don't feel that way.

986
00:38:15,128 --> 00:38:18,590
They love the world you've
created and they love you.

987
00:38:19,632 --> 00:38:21,134
- Yeah.

988
00:38:21,176 --> 00:38:22,802
I wish the rest of my
fans felt that way.

989
00:38:22,844 --> 00:38:24,471
- Well, that's why we're here.

990
00:38:25,430 --> 00:38:27,098
Oh, speaking of which,

991
00:38:27,140 --> 00:38:30,143
can we go over some of the
press schedule for tomorrow?

992
00:38:30,185 --> 00:38:31,811
- Do you just carry that
with you all the time?

993
00:38:31,853 --> 00:38:33,188
(April chuckles)

994
00:38:33,229 --> 00:38:34,439
Can't we just live
in the moment?

995
00:38:34,481 --> 00:38:35,648
- It's on my mind.

996
00:38:35,690 --> 00:38:36,649
Can you indulge me?

997
00:38:36,691 --> 00:38:38,151
- I can, sure.

998
00:38:38,985 --> 00:38:40,111
- You know, it's pretty low tech

999
00:38:40,153 --> 00:38:41,654
for a high powered executive.

1000
00:38:41,696 --> 00:38:42,739
- Oh, well.

1001
00:38:44,324 --> 00:38:48,787
I still like writing on real
paper and reading actual books.

1002
00:38:48,828 --> 00:38:50,246
There's something about

1003
00:38:50,288 --> 00:38:51,706
- [April and Harrington]
the feel of the page.

1004
00:38:51,748 --> 00:38:52,791
(April chuckles)

1005
00:38:52,832 --> 00:38:54,501
- I'm the same way.

1006
00:38:54,542 --> 00:38:55,627
- Yeah?

1007
00:38:55,669 --> 00:38:56,378
- Love it.
- Hm.

1008
00:38:57,962 --> 00:38:59,506
- Can I show you something?

1009
00:39:00,340 --> 00:39:01,341
- Yeah.

1010
00:39:03,343 --> 00:39:07,472
- I have spent many an hour
up here staring at the wall.

1011
00:39:07,514 --> 00:39:11,643
This is the creative
center of the home.

1012
00:39:11,685 --> 00:39:13,144
- [April] Wow.

1013
00:39:13,186 --> 00:39:15,063
- But this is what
I wanna show you.

1014
00:39:15,855 --> 00:39:17,899
My mom gave me this journal,

1015
00:39:17,941 --> 00:39:22,153
and it has every single
idea in it I've ever had

1016
00:39:22,195 --> 00:39:24,280
all the way back
to the beginning.

1017
00:39:24,322 --> 00:39:25,990
I take it with me
everywhere I go.

1018
00:39:26,032 --> 00:39:28,243
It's my favorite thing
in the whole world.

1019
00:39:28,993 --> 00:39:31,496
- [April] Oh, I can see why.

1020
00:39:31,538 --> 00:39:32,831
- This.

1021
00:39:32,872 --> 00:39:33,707
There he is.

1022
00:39:33,748 --> 00:39:34,708
There's Marty.

1023
00:39:35,750 --> 00:39:36,793
- Wow.

1024
00:39:38,044 --> 00:39:41,339
(April chuckles)
(Harrington chuckles)

1025
00:39:41,381 --> 00:39:43,425
Kind of reminds me of my charm.

1026
00:39:46,094 --> 00:39:49,055
My dad gave this to me for
Christmas when I was seven.

1027
00:39:49,889 --> 00:39:52,225
He was a literature professor.

1028
00:39:52,267 --> 00:39:55,020
His office was my favorite
place in the world.

1029
00:39:55,061 --> 00:39:57,188
Just floor to ceiling books.
- Wow.

1030
00:39:58,273 --> 00:40:01,151
- He used to read to me
every day growing up.

1031
00:40:01,192 --> 00:40:02,527
- Sounds like my kinda guy.

1032
00:40:02,569 --> 00:40:04,612
(April chuckles)

1033
00:40:04,654 --> 00:40:05,572
- I miss him.

1034
00:40:07,198 --> 00:40:09,325
- I know how you feel.

1035
00:40:13,913 --> 00:40:18,001
(sighs) You know, you're
not so bad, Collins.

1036
00:40:18,043 --> 00:40:19,919
- Collins.

1037
00:40:19,961 --> 00:40:21,296
Is that how it is now?

1038
00:40:21,338 --> 00:40:24,341
- (smirks) Seems to be.
(April chuckles)

1039
00:40:24,382 --> 00:40:28,261
Gotta admit, when we first met
and you threatened to sue me,

1040
00:40:28,303 --> 00:40:32,223
I wasn't the biggest fan.

1041
00:40:32,932 --> 00:40:34,225
- I didn't notice.

1042
00:40:35,310 --> 00:40:38,104
- But if you hadn't,
I wouldn't have come.

1043
00:40:39,647 --> 00:40:40,732
- I'm glad you did.

1044
00:40:42,484 --> 00:40:43,568
- Me too.

1045
00:40:46,279 --> 00:40:49,366
- But I should be honest,

1046
00:40:50,575 --> 00:40:54,245
Silver Spark never
would've actually sued you.

1047
00:40:55,288 --> 00:40:57,582
I mean, it'd be a
terrible look for us,

1048
00:40:57,624 --> 00:41:02,629
especially after your post,
just vindictive and petty.

1049
00:41:05,965 --> 00:41:07,217
- Hm.

1050
00:41:08,343 --> 00:41:11,304
So, in other words, you lied?

1051
00:41:12,097 --> 00:41:15,141
(sullen music)

1052
00:41:20,563 --> 00:41:22,399
- Are you leaving?

1053
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:23,358
- This is your house.

1054
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:24,818
- I'm aware of that.

1055
00:41:24,859 --> 00:41:25,944
I'm opening the door
for you to leave.

1056
00:41:26,695 --> 00:41:27,821
- Can we talk about this?

1057
00:41:27,862 --> 00:41:29,489
- You wanna talk about it?

1058
00:41:29,531 --> 00:41:31,574
All right, let's talk.

1059
00:41:31,616 --> 00:41:32,909
You lied to me.

1060
00:41:32,951 --> 00:41:34,869
You lied to my face.

1061
00:41:34,911 --> 00:41:36,996
You tricked me into being here.

1062
00:41:37,038 --> 00:41:39,290
- I bluffed you into being here.

1063
00:41:39,332 --> 00:41:40,959
And if I hadn't-
- If you hadn't,

1064
00:41:41,001 --> 00:41:42,168
if you hadn't, I...

1065
00:41:42,210 --> 00:41:44,295
We'll never know will we?

1066
00:41:44,337 --> 00:41:45,171
- No, fair.

1067
00:41:45,213 --> 00:41:46,381
We won't.

1068
00:41:46,423 --> 00:41:48,425
Listen, that person
who bluffed you,

1069
00:41:48,466 --> 00:41:52,178
she is a very
ambitious PR executive

1070
00:41:52,220 --> 00:41:54,222
and she cares
about her job a lot

1071
00:41:54,264 --> 00:41:56,599
and sometimes it clouds her
judgment and she makes mistakes.

1072
00:41:56,641 --> 00:41:58,351
- Why is she talking about
herself in the third person?

1073
00:41:58,393 --> 00:42:00,895
- Because it's
easier than saying

1074
00:42:00,937 --> 00:42:03,148
I shouldn't have misled you.

1075
00:42:03,189 --> 00:42:06,609
I was wrong, and I'm sorry.

1076
00:42:06,651 --> 00:42:09,404
(gentle music)

1077
00:42:15,869 --> 00:42:19,080
(music continues)

1078
00:42:20,373 --> 00:42:22,459
I don't want this
either, you know?

1079
00:42:24,919 --> 00:42:25,754
- Want what?

1080
00:42:25,795 --> 00:42:26,921
- This.

1081
00:42:26,963 --> 00:42:29,591
I don't wanna be here this week.

1082
00:42:29,632 --> 00:42:31,134
I have been home for Christmas

1083
00:42:31,176 --> 00:42:33,303
every single year
since my dad passed.

1084
00:42:33,345 --> 00:42:34,929
I should be snuggled
up on the couch

1085
00:42:34,971 --> 00:42:37,057
with my mom watching
Christmas movies

1086
00:42:37,098 --> 00:42:39,100
and eating her
peppermint brownies.

1087
00:42:39,142 --> 00:42:40,935
But no, I'm here in
mistletoe with you trying

1088
00:42:40,977 --> 00:42:42,645
to save your writing career.

1089
00:42:44,189 --> 00:42:46,274
So, can we please just get
through the next few days

1090
00:42:46,316 --> 00:42:48,234
and then I will fly home and try

1091
00:42:48,276 --> 00:42:50,195
and salvage what is
left of my Christmas,

1092
00:42:50,236 --> 00:42:53,990
and you can get back to, you
know, whatever it is you do.

1093
00:42:55,367 --> 00:42:58,370
- My mom used to,

1094
00:42:59,704 --> 00:43:01,331
she'd come home
from Miss Muffins

1095
00:43:01,373 --> 00:43:05,794
with these cinnamon,
peppermint, chocolate things

1096
00:43:05,835 --> 00:43:07,504
and we would sit on the couch

1097
00:43:07,545 --> 00:43:09,297
and watch Christmas
movies as well.

1098
00:43:09,339 --> 00:43:12,634
And when she passed, I
felt really isolated.

1099
00:43:14,511 --> 00:43:17,305
Success has a funny way
of doing that to you.

1100
00:43:17,347 --> 00:43:20,433
And you're never entirely
sure who to trust.

1101
00:43:20,475 --> 00:43:23,687
And honesty becomes
really, really important.

1102
00:43:24,854 --> 00:43:28,775
And when someone
breaks your trust-

1103
00:43:28,817 --> 00:43:30,735
- Harrington, it
won't happen again.

1104
00:43:31,695 --> 00:43:32,696
I promise.

1105
00:43:39,202 --> 00:43:40,537
I guess I'll-
- Yeah.

1106
00:43:42,288 --> 00:43:44,290
Hey, Collins?
- Yeah?

1107
00:43:46,710 --> 00:43:49,045
- Thank you for the s'mores.

1108
00:43:50,505 --> 00:43:52,173
(April chuckles)

1109
00:43:52,215 --> 00:43:55,385
I do appreciate what you're
doin', you know, for me.

1110
00:43:59,764 --> 00:44:02,475
See you tomorrow?

1111
00:44:02,517 --> 00:44:04,269
- See you tomorrow.

1112
00:44:10,358 --> 00:44:15,655
(door creaks)
(gentle music)

1113
00:44:16,114 --> 00:44:18,408
(light music)

1114
00:44:22,620 --> 00:44:23,371
- We'll see you then.

1115
00:44:23,413 --> 00:44:24,539
Bye.

1116
00:44:24,581 --> 00:44:26,041
- April.
- Hm?

1117
00:44:26,082 --> 00:44:27,834
- This package came
for you this morning.

1118
00:44:27,876 --> 00:44:29,461
- Oh, Mom.

1119
00:44:29,502 --> 00:44:31,254
- I can take it up to
your room if you'd like?

1120
00:44:31,296 --> 00:44:32,297
- That'd be great, thanks.

1121
00:44:32,339 --> 00:44:33,465
- Oh, you're welcome.

1122
00:44:33,506 --> 00:44:34,632
Have a great day.

1123
00:44:34,674 --> 00:44:37,427
(gentle music)

1124
00:44:38,887 --> 00:44:41,264
- I was surprised you wanted
to walk to the theater today.

1125
00:44:42,599 --> 00:44:44,601
- Somebody's gotta give
you the grand tour of town.

1126
00:44:44,642 --> 00:44:45,477
It might as well be me.

1127
00:44:45,518 --> 00:44:46,478
- Hm.

1128
00:44:47,270 --> 00:44:48,813
Did you ever think your work

1129
00:44:48,855 --> 00:44:50,648
would inspire
Christmas displays?

1130
00:44:50,690 --> 00:44:52,567
(Harrington chuckles)

1131
00:44:52,609 --> 00:44:55,236
You know, it's okay to like
some things about your books.

1132
00:44:55,278 --> 00:44:56,988
- Oh, it's not that.

1133
00:44:57,030 --> 00:44:58,448
I just wish the focus
was more on Christmas.

1134
00:44:59,449 --> 00:45:01,910
- Harrington, your books
are about Christmas.

1135
00:45:01,951 --> 00:45:03,161
(Harrington chuckles)

1136
00:45:03,203 --> 00:45:05,080
- Yes, I realize that.

1137
00:45:05,121 --> 00:45:07,415
But there's more to the
holiday than my books.

1138
00:45:07,457 --> 00:45:10,377
You'll see what I
mean on Main Street.

1139
00:45:10,418 --> 00:45:13,254
This festival used to
be all about Christmas.

1140
00:45:13,296 --> 00:45:15,674
You know, people selling
stuff that they made

1141
00:45:15,715 --> 00:45:19,469
with their bare hand,
games and activities.

1142
00:45:19,511 --> 00:45:21,680
That was the best
part of my childhood.

1143
00:45:21,721 --> 00:45:22,931
Now it's a-

1144
00:45:22,972 --> 00:45:24,933
- Don't say that word.

1145
00:45:24,974 --> 00:45:26,101
- What word?

1146
00:45:26,142 --> 00:45:27,268
- You were gonna say joke.

1147
00:45:27,310 --> 00:45:29,145
- I wasn't gonna say joke.

1148
00:45:30,313 --> 00:45:31,981
I was gonna say something
much more eloquent,

1149
00:45:32,023 --> 00:45:35,694
like farce or circus.

1150
00:45:35,735 --> 00:45:39,197
(upbeat holiday music)

1151
00:45:39,989 --> 00:45:41,449
- You wanna know what I think?

1152
00:45:41,491 --> 00:45:44,911
- I think you're gonna
tell me regardless.

1153
00:45:44,953 --> 00:45:47,455
- I think that
it's weird for you

1154
00:45:47,497 --> 00:45:50,917
to be from here and see
the impact that you've had.

1155
00:45:52,043 --> 00:45:53,920
You want everything
to be as it was.

1156
00:45:53,962 --> 00:45:58,258
We all do, but things change,
and we change things too.

1157
00:45:58,299 --> 00:46:01,261
- Yeah, well, not
always for the better.

1158
00:46:02,387 --> 00:46:04,639
- Look at those kids' faces.

1159
00:46:04,681 --> 00:46:06,182
- Yeah.

1160
00:46:06,224 --> 00:46:07,308
- And them, don't
they look happy?

1161
00:46:07,350 --> 00:46:08,226
- Okay, that's two.

1162
00:46:08,268 --> 00:46:09,561
- That's fine.

1163
00:46:09,602 --> 00:46:11,271
- All right, okay.
- How about

1164
00:46:11,312 --> 00:46:12,397
- everybody in here?
- All right, all right.

1165
00:46:12,439 --> 00:46:13,481
- These kids don't have to have

1166
00:46:13,523 --> 00:46:15,358
the same experience you did.

1167
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:16,985
You know, they're here
to celebrate this season,

1168
00:46:17,027 --> 00:46:18,361
which like it or not
includes your books.

1169
00:46:18,903 --> 00:46:19,779
- Fine.

1170
00:46:19,821 --> 00:46:20,655
(April chuckles)

1171
00:46:20,697 --> 00:46:21,656
- Oh, wow.

1172
00:46:21,698 --> 00:46:22,699
It really is you.

1173
00:46:22,741 --> 00:46:24,159
You're Harrington Davis.

1174
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:25,618
- Yeah, yeah.

1175
00:46:25,660 --> 00:46:27,495
- I can't believe
it really is you.

1176
00:46:27,537 --> 00:46:28,538
- Oh.

1177
00:46:28,580 --> 00:46:29,748
- Can I get an autograph, man.

1178
00:46:29,789 --> 00:46:30,790
- Oh yeah, sure.
- Okay.

1179
00:46:30,832 --> 00:46:32,250
- Oh my gosh.

1180
00:46:32,292 --> 00:46:33,460
- [Crowd Members]
Harrington, Harrington?

1181
00:46:33,501 --> 00:46:34,794
- Harrington?
- Wow. Okay.

1182
00:46:34,836 --> 00:46:36,087
Hi. Hi.

1183
00:46:36,129 --> 00:46:37,797
- Let's-
- Oh my gosh, thank you.

1184
00:46:37,839 --> 00:46:39,507
Sorry, everyone.
- Hi, hi.

1185
00:46:39,549 --> 00:46:40,884
Oh, hi, hi.

1186
00:46:40,925 --> 00:46:41,760
Hi.

1187
00:46:41,801 --> 00:46:43,011
Hi.

1188
00:46:43,053 --> 00:46:44,346
Yeah, hi.
- Harrington,

1189
00:46:44,387 --> 00:46:45,221
I don't think this
is a good idea.

1190
00:46:45,263 --> 00:46:46,389
- Yeah, hi.

1191
00:46:46,431 --> 00:46:47,849
Hi, oh.
(horn honking)

1192
00:46:47,891 --> 00:46:49,059
- Oh, oh, oh, oh.
- Oh, hi.

1193
00:46:49,100 --> 00:46:50,185
- Harrington?
- I'm sorry.

1194
00:46:50,226 --> 00:46:51,186
- Hey, guys!
- I'm so sorry!

1195
00:46:51,227 --> 00:46:51,936
- Come on, let's go.

1196
00:46:51,978 --> 00:46:52,854
Jump in.

1197
00:46:52,896 --> 00:46:54,564
(crowd clamoring)

1198
00:46:56,066 --> 00:46:57,192
- [Harrington] Woo!

1199
00:46:57,233 --> 00:46:58,318
(April exhales)

1200
00:46:58,360 --> 00:46:59,819
- [Chis] Are you guys okay?

1201
00:46:59,861 --> 00:47:02,072
- That just got outta
hand really quickly.

1202
00:47:02,113 --> 00:47:03,990
- You're like Christmas Elvis.

1203
00:47:04,032 --> 00:47:05,450
I swear,
- Well-

1204
00:47:05,492 --> 00:47:07,035
- sometimes he forgets
he's a celebrity.

1205
00:47:07,077 --> 00:47:08,495
- But we should be
more careful next time.

1206
00:47:08,536 --> 00:47:10,872
- Are you starting to
care about me, Collins?

1207
00:47:12,248 --> 00:47:13,541
I think she's startin'
to care about me.

1208
00:47:13,583 --> 00:47:14,626
(April chuckles)

1209
00:47:14,668 --> 00:47:15,960
Okay, we should go.
- Yeah.

1210
00:47:16,002 --> 00:47:17,003
Buckle up.

1211
00:47:17,045 --> 00:47:19,839
(crowd clamoring)

1212
00:47:19,881 --> 00:47:22,342
(gentle music)

1213
00:47:22,384 --> 00:47:27,639
(crowd clamoring)
(music continues)

1214
00:47:41,611 --> 00:47:44,280
(soft music)

1215
00:47:49,077 --> 00:47:49,869
- Linds?

1216
00:47:49,911 --> 00:47:50,912
- Harry!

1217
00:47:50,954 --> 00:47:52,414
Oh my gosh.

1218
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:56,126
It's been way too long.

1219
00:47:56,167 --> 00:47:57,002
- It's been too long.

1220
00:47:57,043 --> 00:47:58,211
- Yeah.

1221
00:47:58,253 --> 00:47:59,170
- And who might this be?

1222
00:47:59,212 --> 00:48:00,588
- It's Bree, silly!

1223
00:48:00,630 --> 00:48:02,841
- That's impossible
because my Bree

1224
00:48:02,882 --> 00:48:04,884
is about this big and I
could put her in my pocket.

1225
00:48:04,926 --> 00:48:05,719
What happened?

1226
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:06,761
- I grew up.

1227
00:48:06,803 --> 00:48:08,221
- I can see that.

1228
00:48:08,263 --> 00:48:09,097
I'm gonna need to
get bigger pockets.

1229
00:48:09,139 --> 00:48:10,265
(all chuckling)

1230
00:48:10,306 --> 00:48:11,057
- It's good to see you too.

1231
00:48:11,099 --> 00:48:12,267
- You too.

1232
00:48:12,308 --> 00:48:13,685
- Wait, you two know each other?

1233
00:48:13,727 --> 00:48:15,270
- Yeah, we met at
the welcome party

1234
00:48:15,311 --> 00:48:16,146
that you refused to attend.
- Yeah.

1235
00:48:16,187 --> 00:48:17,272
- Ah.
- Mm hm.

1236
00:48:17,313 --> 00:48:18,773
- Mm hm.
- I mean,

1237
00:48:18,815 --> 00:48:20,442
we're basically
best friends now.

1238
00:48:20,483 --> 00:48:21,484
- Ms. Collins, we
got what we need?

1239
00:48:21,526 --> 00:48:23,278
- Wait, what do we need?

1240
00:48:23,319 --> 00:48:24,362
- Oh, just a little
somethin' from the company.

1241
00:48:24,404 --> 00:48:26,281
- Ah, shall we?

1242
00:48:26,322 --> 00:48:29,075
(light music)

1243
00:48:33,663 --> 00:48:35,790
- What's up, Mistletoe?

1244
00:48:35,832 --> 00:48:37,459
(audience applauding)

1245
00:48:37,500 --> 00:48:40,462
What's Christmas without
some jolly baked goodness,

1246
00:48:40,503 --> 00:48:42,005
am I right?

1247
00:48:42,047 --> 00:48:45,925
So let's find the best
treat of the season.

1248
00:48:45,967 --> 00:48:49,429
- So, what's "A
little somethin'?"

1249
00:48:49,471 --> 00:48:51,097
- You'll see.

1250
00:48:51,139 --> 00:48:54,434
- To honor the 15th anniversary
of Magic in Mistletoe,"

1251
00:48:54,476 --> 00:48:57,937
Silver Spark Publishing has
something special to say,

1252
00:48:57,979 --> 00:49:00,482
so let's hear it
for April Collins!

1253
00:49:00,523 --> 00:49:03,777
(audience applauding)
(audience cheering)

1254
00:49:03,818 --> 00:49:06,446
- Good afternoon, Mistletoe.

1255
00:49:07,447 --> 00:49:08,782
I'm so happy to be here.

1256
00:49:08,823 --> 00:49:10,116
And because we're so proud

1257
00:49:10,158 --> 00:49:12,577
to bring you "Magic
in Mistletoe,"

1258
00:49:12,619 --> 00:49:14,704
each contestant will
get a special package

1259
00:49:14,746 --> 00:49:20,168
from Silver Spark and the
winner will receive $5,000.

1260
00:49:21,086 --> 00:49:24,172
(audience applauding)

1261
00:49:24,214 --> 00:49:25,215
- Wow!

1262
00:49:26,508 --> 00:49:28,134
I wish I was a contestant,

1263
00:49:28,176 --> 00:49:30,679
but then I can't
even bake a potato.

1264
00:49:30,720 --> 00:49:33,139
But I can eat.
(audience laughs)

1265
00:49:33,181 --> 00:49:35,475
Come on out, Harrington!

1266
00:49:35,517 --> 00:49:36,893
- Yes!

1267
00:49:36,935 --> 00:49:39,229
- Mistletoe, let's
take some treats!

1268
00:49:40,313 --> 00:49:41,398
- Woo!

1269
00:49:41,439 --> 00:49:43,983
(gentle music)

1270
00:49:44,025 --> 00:49:45,485
- Looks like somebody
got through to him.

1271
00:49:45,527 --> 00:49:48,071
- (chuckles) Yeah,
we hit a speed bump,

1272
00:49:48,113 --> 00:49:50,073
but now we're in a groove.

1273
00:49:50,115 --> 00:49:51,825
Your advice really helped.

1274
00:49:51,866 --> 00:49:53,243
- Oh, I'm so glad.

1275
00:49:54,285 --> 00:49:55,787
It seems like a really
positive change.

1276
00:49:55,829 --> 00:49:56,788
It's good to see.

1277
00:49:59,708 --> 00:50:01,292
- Got a decision to make brush.

1278
00:50:01,334 --> 00:50:03,003
- I know, but
they're all so good.

1279
00:50:03,044 --> 00:50:04,504
All right, first of all,

1280
00:50:04,546 --> 00:50:06,131
I know I have to
make a decision here.

1281
00:50:06,172 --> 00:50:07,882
I will get to that.

1282
00:50:07,924 --> 00:50:10,010
I would like to say
all of these desserts

1283
00:50:10,051 --> 00:50:11,803
are insanely delicious.

1284
00:50:11,845 --> 00:50:15,056
Congratulations to
our three bakers.

1285
00:50:16,141 --> 00:50:18,476
I couldn't achieve this,
so congratulations.

1286
00:50:18,518 --> 00:50:20,020
I'm gonna be honest.

1287
00:50:20,061 --> 00:50:21,146
I don't think I can make
the decision on my own.

1288
00:50:21,187 --> 00:50:23,898
I'm gonna need to call a friend.

1289
00:50:23,940 --> 00:50:25,734
I'd like to bring up Bree.

1290
00:50:25,775 --> 00:50:26,985
Get up here.

1291
00:50:27,027 --> 00:50:28,361
- Yeah!
- Get up here.

1292
00:50:28,403 --> 00:50:30,238
(Lindsay laughs)
(April laughs)

1293
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,157
- We're calling in
the experts, folks.

1294
00:50:32,198 --> 00:50:35,368
Bree knows more than
anybody about desserts.

1295
00:50:35,410 --> 00:50:36,411
Go ahead, Bree.

1296
00:50:37,746 --> 00:50:39,456
Will it be the peppermint cake?

1297
00:50:42,125 --> 00:50:44,169
The eggnog brownies?

1298
00:50:47,797 --> 00:50:52,594
Or Christmas
cranberry cheesecake?

1299
00:50:52,635 --> 00:50:54,262
(anticipatory music stops)

1300
00:50:54,304 --> 00:50:55,263
It's out of my hands.

1301
00:50:55,305 --> 00:50:56,556
All right, come here.

1302
00:50:57,974 --> 00:50:59,351
My colleague and I would
like to confer for a second.

1303
00:50:59,392 --> 00:51:02,604
(anticipatory music continues)

1304
00:51:02,645 --> 00:51:04,147
- I'll be back.

1305
00:51:08,485 --> 00:51:10,570
- All right, Harrington,
what'll it be?

1306
00:51:10,612 --> 00:51:15,367
- We have a decision
and the winner is...

1307
00:51:16,910 --> 00:51:18,244
- The brownie!

1308
00:51:18,286 --> 00:51:20,789
(audience applauding)
(bright music)

1309
00:51:20,830 --> 00:51:23,541
- Congratulations to all of you.

1310
00:51:23,583 --> 00:51:24,876
Incredible job.

1311
00:51:25,794 --> 00:51:27,087
Come over here, kiddo.

1312
00:51:27,128 --> 00:51:28,630
Look at that.

1313
00:51:28,672 --> 00:51:31,883
(audience applauding)

1314
00:51:32,801 --> 00:51:33,802
Whoa.

1315
00:51:34,636 --> 00:51:36,388
Wow.
- Do it again.

1316
00:51:36,429 --> 00:51:37,681
- Mm.

1317
00:51:37,722 --> 00:51:39,265
- Someone's had her
sugar quota for the day.

1318
00:51:39,307 --> 00:51:40,600
- Yeah, thank you for
that, Uncle Harry.

1319
00:51:40,642 --> 00:51:43,645
- Uncle Harry, that
was so much fun.

1320
00:51:43,687 --> 00:51:44,938
- I know.

1321
00:51:44,979 --> 00:51:46,439
- Uncle Harry, are you coming

1322
00:51:46,481 --> 00:51:49,275
to the Christmas costume
dance tomorrow night?

1323
00:51:49,317 --> 00:51:50,944
- Oh (chuckles), do you already
have your costume, Bree?

1324
00:51:50,985 --> 00:51:52,070
- I do.

1325
00:51:52,112 --> 00:51:54,072
It's gonna be so much fun.

1326
00:51:54,114 --> 00:51:55,448
- I don't think so, kiddo.

1327
00:51:55,490 --> 00:51:57,450
There's gonna be a
lot of people there.

1328
00:51:57,492 --> 00:51:58,451
- [Bree] Aw.

1329
00:51:58,493 --> 00:52:00,036
- That's okay, right, Bree?

1330
00:52:00,078 --> 00:52:01,371
Because we are gonna
see Uncle Harry

1331
00:52:01,413 --> 00:52:02,914
at the Lantern
Lighting Festival.

1332
00:52:02,956 --> 00:52:04,249
- Right?
- You're gonna see me

1333
00:52:04,290 --> 00:52:05,000
at the Lantern
Lighting Festival.

1334
00:52:05,041 --> 00:52:07,252
- Yeah.

1335
00:52:07,836 --> 00:52:08,962
- You look happy.

1336
00:52:09,004 --> 00:52:10,088
- Do I?
- Hm.

1337
00:52:10,130 --> 00:52:11,464
- Unintentional.

1338
00:52:11,506 --> 00:52:13,591
It won't happen again.
(April chuckles)

1339
00:52:13,633 --> 00:52:14,759
I don't know.

1340
00:52:14,801 --> 00:52:16,136
I guess I'm havin' a good day.

1341
00:52:16,177 --> 00:52:17,846
- Hm, glad to hear it.

1342
00:52:17,887 --> 00:52:19,806
Imagine what you'd be
doing if you weren't here.

1343
00:52:19,848 --> 00:52:22,100
- Oh, I'd be home doom scrolling
about the end of my career.

1344
00:52:22,142 --> 00:52:24,811
- Yeah, this seems
a little bit better.

1345
00:52:24,853 --> 00:52:26,021
You ready?

1346
00:52:26,062 --> 00:52:26,980
Press junket is set up inside.

1347
00:52:27,022 --> 00:52:28,565
- If I must.

1348
00:52:28,606 --> 00:52:30,442
- (laughs) Come on,
it won't be that bad.

1349
00:52:31,359 --> 00:52:33,570
- Wait, you smell that?

1350
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:35,155
(April sniffs)
(playful music)

1351
00:52:35,196 --> 00:52:36,197
- What is that?

1352
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:38,199
It smells delicious.

1353
00:52:38,241 --> 00:52:40,201
- Oh, this day just keeps
getting better and better.

1354
00:52:40,243 --> 00:52:43,163
(music continues)

1355
00:52:43,204 --> 00:52:46,207
(April sniffs)

1356
00:52:49,210 --> 00:52:51,755
Sue, I knew it.

1357
00:52:51,796 --> 00:52:53,506
Is that what I think it is?

1358
00:52:53,548 --> 00:52:55,759
- Oh, Harrington, I can't
believe you actually remember.

1359
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:57,052
- How can I possibly forget?

1360
00:52:57,093 --> 00:52:58,136
You have to try these.

1361
00:52:58,178 --> 00:52:59,304
May I?
- Oh, no.

1362
00:52:59,346 --> 00:53:00,513
They have to be roasted yet.

1363
00:53:00,555 --> 00:53:01,681
The first batch is over there.

1364
00:53:01,723 --> 00:53:03,058
- Ms. Collins.

1365
00:53:03,099 --> 00:53:04,726
- Harrington, the
press is ready.

1366
00:53:04,768 --> 00:53:05,727
- Right.

1367
00:53:08,563 --> 00:53:09,189
You know what?

1368
00:53:09,230 --> 00:53:11,149
Change of plans.

1369
00:53:11,191 --> 00:53:13,026
You can interview me in here.

1370
00:53:13,068 --> 00:53:15,028
- What about the guests?

1371
00:53:15,070 --> 00:53:16,946
- They can ask
questions as well.

1372
00:53:18,156 --> 00:53:19,366
- Okay.

1373
00:53:20,075 --> 00:53:21,201
Yeah.

1374
00:53:21,242 --> 00:53:24,245
(gentle music)

1375
00:53:28,750 --> 00:53:32,420
- It's a Christmas tradition
here at the Stargazer

1376
00:53:32,462 --> 00:53:34,464
to enjoy a very special treat.

1377
00:53:34,506 --> 00:53:37,592
- [Marcus and Sue] Cinnamon
roasted pralines (laughing).

1378
00:53:39,636 --> 00:53:40,720
- Aren't you full?

1379
00:53:41,471 --> 00:53:43,056
You just had enough dessert

1380
00:53:43,098 --> 00:53:44,516
to last you until
next Christmas.

1381
00:53:44,557 --> 00:53:46,226
- There's always
time for dessert.

1382
00:53:46,267 --> 00:53:47,227
- Okay, okay.

1383
00:53:47,268 --> 00:53:48,395
We're gonna start now.

1384
00:53:50,313 --> 00:53:54,359
- All right, I
guess floor is open.

1385
00:53:54,401 --> 00:53:57,195
- So Harrington,
do you wanna share

1386
00:53:57,237 --> 00:53:58,530
with your fans any clues

1387
00:53:58,571 --> 00:53:59,989
about finding the
Christmas Fairy?

1388
00:54:00,031 --> 00:54:01,741
- I suppose it couldn't hurt,

1389
00:54:01,783 --> 00:54:04,285
if you don't mind that glue
being wrapped up in a riddle.

1390
00:54:05,537 --> 00:54:07,747
I found the fairy in the place

1391
00:54:07,789 --> 00:54:11,001
where the light
sparkles brightest,

1392
00:54:11,042 --> 00:54:13,420
where you can get
lost in the sky

1393
00:54:14,129 --> 00:54:16,214
and find yourself in the woods.

1394
00:54:16,256 --> 00:54:17,924
- Well, all right.

1395
00:54:17,966 --> 00:54:19,801
That will keep them guessing
for a very long time.

1396
00:54:19,843 --> 00:54:21,428
(reporters chuckling)

1397
00:54:21,469 --> 00:54:24,097
- Harrington, I'd be
remiss if I didn't ask ya

1398
00:54:24,139 --> 00:54:25,515
about the social media post

1399
00:54:25,557 --> 00:54:27,100
that was heard around the world.

1400
00:54:27,142 --> 00:54:29,102
- I'm sorry, we're
not fielding those.

1401
00:54:29,144 --> 00:54:30,812
- You know, it's okay.

1402
00:54:31,938 --> 00:54:34,274
- Harrington, do
you really think

1403
00:54:34,315 --> 00:54:36,651
that your hometown
just cares about money

1404
00:54:36,693 --> 00:54:39,612
and is attending this
event really just to ploy,

1405
00:54:39,654 --> 00:54:41,698
to salvage the release
of your new book?

1406
00:54:41,740 --> 00:54:46,995
- Look, I will make no
excuse for what I said.

1407
00:54:47,662 --> 00:54:48,705
There is none.

1408
00:54:49,748 --> 00:54:54,794
It was selfish and
thoughtless and reckless

1409
00:54:55,795 --> 00:54:57,839
and people were
really hurt by it,

1410
00:54:57,881 --> 00:55:01,634
and for that, I'm
truly, truly sorry.

1411
00:55:01,676 --> 00:55:03,928
If I can take it back, I would.

1412
00:55:03,970 --> 00:55:06,598
I guess what I would
want you all to know

1413
00:55:08,058 --> 00:55:12,145
is that Christmas means the
world to me, as do all of you.

1414
00:55:12,187 --> 00:55:13,855
And the next time
I'm feeling ornery,

1415
00:55:13,897 --> 00:55:17,275
I will put my phone away.

1416
00:55:17,317 --> 00:55:22,530
(audience laughs)
(audience applauding)

1417
00:55:24,699 --> 00:55:25,325
Yes Sir?

1418
00:55:25,367 --> 00:55:26,993
- I'm confused.

1419
00:55:27,035 --> 00:55:29,496
Is the Christmas fair gonna
come this year or not?

1420
00:55:29,537 --> 00:55:31,623
- Hm, that's a good question.

1421
00:55:32,540 --> 00:55:33,458
A really good question.

1422
00:55:33,500 --> 00:55:34,292
I'll tell you what.

1423
00:55:34,334 --> 00:55:35,293
Come here.

1424
00:55:35,335 --> 00:55:36,336
Come here, kiddos.

1425
00:55:36,378 --> 00:55:37,504
That's a great question.

1426
00:55:37,545 --> 00:55:38,004
Thank you for asking that.

1427
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:40,090
What's your name?

1428
00:55:40,131 --> 00:55:41,007
- Luca.

1429
00:55:41,049 --> 00:55:42,300
- Luca, all right.

1430
00:55:42,342 --> 00:55:43,635
Here's the deal, Luca.

1431
00:55:45,011 --> 00:55:47,681
See, me and the Christmas
Fairy are pretty tight.

1432
00:55:47,722 --> 00:55:51,142
She told me to tell all of you

1433
00:55:52,227 --> 00:55:53,728
that as long as you have

1434
00:55:53,770 --> 00:55:57,982
the spirit of Christmas
in your heart,

1435
00:55:58,024 --> 00:56:02,696
she will always be there,
even when you can't see her.

1436
00:56:02,737 --> 00:56:06,241
(Luca laughs)
(all laughing)

1437
00:56:06,282 --> 00:56:09,077
(gentle music)

1438
00:56:22,215 --> 00:56:23,425
- Morning.

1439
00:56:30,473 --> 00:56:31,474
Thank you.

1440
00:56:32,684 --> 00:56:35,520
(sighs) Well, this place
hasn't changed a bit.

1441
00:56:35,562 --> 00:56:37,522
The shop is full of
memories, isn't it?

1442
00:56:37,564 --> 00:56:38,857
- I don't suppose you have any

1443
00:56:38,898 --> 00:56:41,317
of those scones with cinnamon?

1444
00:56:41,359 --> 00:56:42,694
- I always do.

1445
00:56:42,736 --> 00:56:44,070
It's really good
to see, Harrington.

1446
00:56:44,112 --> 00:56:45,530
- [Harrington] You too.

1447
00:56:45,572 --> 00:56:48,283
(light music)

1448
00:56:53,371 --> 00:56:54,622
- [April] Harrington.

1449
00:56:54,664 --> 00:56:56,041
- Hey, come on in.

1450
00:56:56,082 --> 00:56:58,126
Just doing a little
looking online.

1451
00:56:58,168 --> 00:56:59,878
Looks like I'm
gettin' some traction.

1452
00:56:59,919 --> 00:57:02,130
- That blogger from Hit Beat
posted his piece and it's good.

1453
00:57:02,172 --> 00:57:03,548
It's really good.

1454
00:57:03,590 --> 00:57:05,091
The comments are
mostly positive, too.

1455
00:57:05,133 --> 00:57:06,718
- Looks like your
plan is working.

1456
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:07,886
- What is this?

1457
00:57:07,927 --> 00:57:09,387
- Oh, I picked up some scones.

1458
00:57:09,429 --> 00:57:11,306
I figured we could
take 'em with us.

1459
00:57:11,348 --> 00:57:12,140
- [April] Oh, there's
nothing on the agenda today.

1460
00:57:12,182 --> 00:57:13,308
- Exactly.

1461
00:57:13,350 --> 00:57:14,476
This isn't on the agenda.

1462
00:57:14,517 --> 00:57:16,061
May I have your keys?

1463
00:57:16,102 --> 00:57:16,895
- What? No.

1464
00:57:16,936 --> 00:57:18,396
Why?

1465
00:57:18,438 --> 00:57:20,231
Because I'm taking
you on an adventure.

1466
00:57:20,273 --> 00:57:21,483
Keys, please.

1467
00:57:23,276 --> 00:57:25,695
- Okay, but only
because you said please.

1468
00:57:25,737 --> 00:57:28,490
(upbeat music)

1469
00:57:33,578 --> 00:57:34,996
- Ah, Mason.

1470
00:57:35,038 --> 00:57:37,165
It's been too long, man.

1471
00:57:37,207 --> 00:57:38,458
- [Mason] Sure has.

1472
00:57:38,500 --> 00:57:39,292
Welcome home, friend.

1473
00:57:39,334 --> 00:57:40,335
- Thank you.

1474
00:57:40,377 --> 00:57:41,336
April, Mason Long.

1475
00:57:41,378 --> 00:57:42,379
He's an old friend.

1476
00:57:42,420 --> 00:57:43,171
- Oh, nice to meet you.

1477
00:57:43,213 --> 00:57:44,631
- Pleasure.

1478
00:57:44,673 --> 00:57:45,840
- Thank you so much
for letting us do this.

1479
00:57:45,882 --> 00:57:46,800
We won't stay too long.

1480
00:57:46,841 --> 00:57:48,009
- Take your time.

1481
00:57:48,051 --> 00:57:49,302
I'm making a delivery in town.

1482
00:57:49,344 --> 00:57:50,261
Just close the gate
when you leave.

1483
00:57:50,303 --> 00:57:51,304
- You got it.

1484
00:57:51,346 --> 00:57:52,597
- [Mason] All right.

1485
00:57:52,639 --> 00:57:54,099
Bye.
- So we're at a tree farm?

1486
00:57:54,140 --> 00:57:55,809
- Oh, not just any tree farm.

1487
00:57:55,850 --> 00:57:56,976
Come on.

1488
00:57:57,018 --> 00:57:59,813
(gentle music)

1489
00:58:01,147 --> 00:58:02,440
- Oh, Harrington,
this is so beautiful.

1490
00:58:02,482 --> 00:58:03,858
- Isn't it?
- Hm.

1491
00:58:03,900 --> 00:58:05,318
- You know, this used to be

1492
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:07,570
my favorite place
to come and write.

1493
00:58:07,612 --> 00:58:10,198
I would just wander
through the trees,

1494
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:14,744
and get lost in my own world,
and then it became Marty's.

1495
00:58:14,786 --> 00:58:19,165
Could you imagine
growing up here as a kid?

1496
00:58:19,207 --> 00:58:21,001
You know, jumpin' creeks

1497
00:58:21,042 --> 00:58:25,880
and running around Christmas
trees, exploring caves.

1498
00:58:25,922 --> 00:58:27,841
- Wait, caves?

1499
00:58:29,175 --> 00:58:30,927
Like where Marty meets
the Christmas Fairy?

1500
00:58:30,969 --> 00:58:32,053
- Just like it.

1501
00:58:32,095 --> 00:58:33,054
I mean, in the books.

1502
00:58:33,096 --> 00:58:34,514
Can I tell you a secret?

1503
00:58:34,556 --> 00:58:36,099
- Okay.

1504
00:58:36,141 --> 00:58:38,852
- I didn't actually meet a
Christmas Fairy in a cave,

1505
00:58:40,061 --> 00:58:44,399
but she is based
on something real.

1506
00:58:45,025 --> 00:58:46,359
- Care to elaborate?

1507
00:58:47,944 --> 00:58:49,320
- Maybe someday.

1508
00:58:49,362 --> 00:58:52,240
(April scoffs)

1509
00:58:52,282 --> 00:58:54,701
Truth is, there isn't a
single part of this town

1510
00:58:54,743 --> 00:58:57,203
that didn't find its way into
my book somewhere or another.

1511
00:58:57,245 --> 00:58:59,372
- Hm.

1512
00:58:59,414 --> 00:59:01,124
Mistletoe.

1513
00:59:01,166 --> 00:59:05,337
My dad would've been so
excited to see all of this.

1514
00:59:05,378 --> 00:59:07,088
- He was a fan?

1515
00:59:07,130 --> 00:59:11,176
- (sighs) Are you kiddin' me?

1516
00:59:11,217 --> 00:59:15,764
I was 15 and he came
out of his office.

1517
00:59:15,805 --> 00:59:18,516
He had just finished
your book and he said,

1518
00:59:18,558 --> 00:59:22,354
"April, this author is only
three years older than you,

1519
00:59:22,395 --> 00:59:24,898
and he's written a classic."

1520
00:59:24,939 --> 00:59:26,191
- High praise.

1521
00:59:26,232 --> 00:59:27,734
- Yeah, he was impressed.

1522
00:59:29,069 --> 00:59:30,028
- What about you?

1523
00:59:31,404 --> 00:59:32,906
You read them.

1524
00:59:32,947 --> 00:59:33,907
- I did.

1525
00:59:35,867 --> 00:59:37,410
- You care to elaborate?

1526
00:59:38,995 --> 00:59:40,413
- Maybe someday.

1527
00:59:41,247 --> 00:59:42,499
- Okay.

1528
00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:49,673
- [April] It sure is
beautiful (chuckles).

1529
00:59:50,590 --> 00:59:52,050
- Yeah, it's not so bad.

1530
00:59:54,678 --> 00:59:55,845
Come on.

1531
00:59:55,887 --> 00:59:58,556
(light music)

1532
01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:05,605
- Okay, so tomorrow
is Christmas Eve,

1533
01:00:05,647 --> 01:00:08,650
which is the big honors banquet
and the lantern lighting.

1534
01:00:08,692 --> 01:00:10,527
- Yes.
- We've prepared you a speech.

1535
01:00:10,568 --> 01:00:12,153
It's in your email.

1536
01:00:12,195 --> 01:00:13,363
- I'm a writer.

1537
01:00:13,405 --> 01:00:15,407
That's literally my entire job.

1538
01:00:15,448 --> 01:00:16,991
You don't trust me to
write my own speech?

1539
01:00:17,033 --> 01:00:17,951
- My boss insisted.

1540
01:00:17,992 --> 01:00:19,411
- All right.

1541
01:00:19,452 --> 01:00:20,829
- I'll be here to
pick you up at six?

1542
01:00:20,870 --> 01:00:21,913
- Perfect.

1543
01:00:23,164 --> 01:00:26,793
In the meantime, we have
the entire evening free.

1544
01:00:26,835 --> 01:00:27,460
Should we-

1545
01:00:27,502 --> 01:00:28,878
- No, sorry.

1546
01:00:28,920 --> 01:00:31,589
I'm going to the
Christmas costume dance.

1547
01:00:31,631 --> 01:00:32,507
I-

1548
01:00:32,549 --> 01:00:34,175
- Oh, I didn't realize.

1549
01:00:34,217 --> 01:00:35,343
Yeah, no.
- Yeah.

1550
01:00:35,385 --> 01:00:36,970
- Of course.
- Great.

1551
01:00:39,472 --> 01:00:41,433
- I just assumed that
you wouldn't wanna go.

1552
01:00:41,474 --> 01:00:42,434
- Yeah, no, no.

1553
01:00:42,475 --> 01:00:43,393
It's lots of people.

1554
01:00:43,435 --> 01:00:44,936
- Lots of people.

1555
01:00:44,978 --> 01:00:45,937
- Yeah, it's probably
not the best idea.

1556
01:00:45,979 --> 01:00:46,771
- Not the best.

1557
01:00:46,813 --> 01:00:47,647
- I shouldn't.

1558
01:00:47,689 --> 01:00:48,314
- No.

1559
01:00:48,356 --> 01:00:51,192
(playful music)

1560
01:00:52,152 --> 01:00:54,112
- I mean, it does sound fun.

1561
01:00:54,154 --> 01:00:55,864
- It does.
- So (chuckles)...

1562
01:00:55,905 --> 01:00:58,700
- Well, wait here.

1563
01:00:58,742 --> 01:01:00,118
I will be right back.

1564
01:01:03,288 --> 01:01:05,040
(Harrington chuckles)

1565
01:01:05,081 --> 01:01:06,124
- All right.

1566
01:01:11,504 --> 01:01:14,341
(door closes)

1567
01:01:14,382 --> 01:01:19,679
(April chuckles)
(music continues)

1568
01:01:22,474 --> 01:01:23,892
- Hi, Chris, it's April.

1569
01:01:25,226 --> 01:01:28,146
So, I was wondering if I
could ask you for a favor.

1570
01:01:28,188 --> 01:01:30,982
(bright music)

1571
01:01:32,901 --> 01:01:38,198
(soft holiday music)
(fire crackling)

1572
01:01:39,991 --> 01:01:41,368
(Harrington chuckles)

1573
01:01:41,409 --> 01:01:42,911
- [April] Hello?

1574
01:01:42,952 --> 01:01:44,329
- Hey, back here.

1575
01:01:44,371 --> 01:01:46,331
Wow, that was fast.

1576
01:01:46,373 --> 01:01:47,457
- Ready to dance?

1577
01:01:47,499 --> 01:01:48,792
- Oh, I don't know.

1578
01:01:50,210 --> 01:01:51,544
Let's see what we got.

1579
01:01:52,462 --> 01:01:53,755
- A Marty costume?

1580
01:01:53,797 --> 01:01:55,507
Where did you even-
- Mm.

1581
01:01:55,548 --> 01:01:56,341
- [Harrington] Oh, you're good.

1582
01:01:56,383 --> 01:01:58,468
- I am (laughs).

1583
01:01:58,510 --> 01:01:59,844
- I mean, it'll still
be pretty visible.

1584
01:01:59,886 --> 01:02:01,513
You think it's gonna work?
- Totally.

1585
01:02:01,554 --> 01:02:02,847
- Book four, "Marty's
Christmas Catastrophe."

1586
01:02:02,889 --> 01:02:04,599
Marty wears a beard disguise.

1587
01:02:04,641 --> 01:02:05,975
It's gonna work.

1588
01:02:06,017 --> 01:02:07,060
Meet me at the town
hall in an hour.

1589
01:02:07,102 --> 01:02:08,269
- Okay.

1590
01:02:08,311 --> 01:02:09,354
Everyone's gonna be in costume.

1591
01:02:09,396 --> 01:02:10,230
How will I know it's you?

1592
01:02:10,271 --> 01:02:11,106
- You'll know.

1593
01:02:11,147 --> 01:02:14,067
(gentle music)

1594
01:02:14,109 --> 01:02:17,028
(zipper zipping)

1595
01:02:18,655 --> 01:02:23,952
(soft music)
(doors creaking)

1596
01:02:43,054 --> 01:02:45,807
(gentle music)

1597
01:02:52,439 --> 01:02:55,734
(music continues)

1598
01:03:02,532 --> 01:03:04,200
(music fades)

1599
01:03:08,955 --> 01:03:10,540
- That was a great song,

1600
01:03:10,582 --> 01:03:13,835
and I got one of your
favorites comin' up right now.

1601
01:03:13,877 --> 01:03:16,629
(upbeat music)

1602
01:03:23,720 --> 01:03:25,722
(music continues)

1603
01:03:25,764 --> 01:03:29,434
* Joy to the world

1604
01:03:29,476 --> 01:03:30,518
- Bubbles.

1605
01:03:34,522 --> 01:03:37,275
- Decent turnout.
- Yeah, certainly is.

1606
01:03:37,317 --> 01:03:39,527
Half the people are
hoping Harrington Davis

1607
01:03:39,569 --> 01:03:42,614
makes an appearance, but
I wouldn't hold my breath.

1608
01:03:42,655 --> 01:03:43,698
- Seriously?

1609
01:03:44,949 --> 01:03:47,452
- Oh, Harrington!
- Yeah, yeah, shh.

1610
01:03:47,494 --> 01:03:49,245
- Oh my goodness.

1611
01:03:49,287 --> 01:03:52,749
Honestly, I didn't know that
you were planning to come.

1612
01:03:52,791 --> 01:03:53,875
- Oh, come on.

1613
01:03:53,917 --> 01:03:55,335
I'm not that big a Grinch.

1614
01:03:55,377 --> 01:03:56,920
- That is not what
I meant at all.

1615
01:03:56,961 --> 01:04:00,382
It's just, it's
a lot being here.

1616
01:04:00,423 --> 01:04:04,636
I mean, after your mom passed,
it was hard on all of us

1617
01:04:04,678 --> 01:04:07,472
so I can only imagine the
impact that it had on you.

1618
01:04:07,514 --> 01:04:09,891
So I understand why
you stayed away.

1619
01:04:09,933 --> 01:04:11,101
All of us do.

1620
01:04:12,394 --> 01:04:14,104
But I hope you understand
how grateful we are

1621
01:04:14,145 --> 01:04:16,731
that you made the choice
to be here this week.

1622
01:04:16,773 --> 01:04:18,358
- Thank you.

1623
01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:19,359
It means a lot.

1624
01:04:20,610 --> 01:04:24,489
I think the real question
is, where's April?

1625
01:04:24,531 --> 01:04:27,325
(gentle music)

1626
01:04:32,163 --> 01:04:33,373
Wow.

1627
01:04:33,415 --> 01:04:36,376
(music continues)

1628
01:04:42,799 --> 01:04:46,011
(music continues)

1629
01:04:48,513 --> 01:04:50,598
Well, this is awkward.

1630
01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:51,808
- What?

1631
01:04:51,850 --> 01:04:53,226
- We both dressed as Marty.

1632
01:04:55,228 --> 01:04:56,980
- Well, who wore it better?

1633
01:04:57,022 --> 01:04:58,314
- I think you know the answer.

1634
01:04:58,356 --> 01:04:59,566
(April chuckles)

1635
01:04:59,607 --> 01:05:00,984
In my wildest dreams,

1636
01:05:01,026 --> 01:05:02,152
I don't think I
could've imagined

1637
01:05:02,193 --> 01:05:03,570
a more perfect Christmas Fairy.

1638
01:05:03,611 --> 01:05:04,904
- You like it?

1639
01:05:04,946 --> 01:05:06,531
- I, yeah.

1640
01:05:06,573 --> 01:05:08,324
Where did you get this?

1641
01:05:08,366 --> 01:05:10,160
- Oh, well, you can't be in
my line of work without going

1642
01:05:10,201 --> 01:05:11,786
to your share of
conventions over the years.

1643
01:05:11,828 --> 01:05:13,955
I may have picked
up a thing or two.

1644
01:05:13,997 --> 01:05:15,206
- Uh huh.
- Mm hm.

1645
01:05:15,248 --> 01:05:17,125
- [Harrington] And the tiara?

1646
01:05:17,167 --> 01:05:19,210
- Oh, this is actually a gift
from my mom for Christmas.

1647
01:05:19,252 --> 01:05:21,129
She sent it to the hotel.

1648
01:05:21,171 --> 01:05:24,674
But the dress and
the wings are all me.

1649
01:05:24,716 --> 01:05:26,092
- You brought this with you?

1650
01:05:26,134 --> 01:05:27,594
- Yeah.
- On an airplane?

1651
01:05:27,635 --> 01:05:29,179
- Harrington has it
not yet become apparent

1652
01:05:29,220 --> 01:05:30,680
that I like to be
prepared for everything?

1653
01:05:30,722 --> 01:05:31,848
(Harrington chuckles)

1654
01:05:31,890 --> 01:05:33,141
- Oh, it's become apparent.

1655
01:05:33,183 --> 01:05:35,018
(April laughs)

1656
01:05:35,060 --> 01:05:36,394
You know, I'd be lying if I said

1657
01:05:36,436 --> 01:05:38,730
I wasn't more than a
little disappointed.

1658
01:05:39,898 --> 01:05:41,149
- What? Why?

1659
01:05:42,317 --> 01:05:44,319
- Well, I've been to
dozens of conventions

1660
01:05:44,361 --> 01:05:47,030
and this is the first
time I'm seeing you.

1661
01:05:47,072 --> 01:05:48,531
(gentle music)

1662
01:05:48,573 --> 01:05:51,451
(April chuckles)

1663
01:05:52,494 --> 01:05:54,079
- Well, are you just
gonna stand there

1664
01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:56,206
or are you gonna
ask me to dance?

1665
01:05:58,750 --> 01:06:01,544
- I'm gonna ask you to dance.

1666
01:06:01,586 --> 01:06:02,629
Shall we?

1667
01:06:02,671 --> 01:06:04,047
- I'd be delighted.

1668
01:06:04,089 --> 01:06:06,549
(upbeat music)

1669
01:06:06,591 --> 01:06:08,551
- Oh, sorry, wings (chuckles).
- (chuckles) Careful.

1670
01:06:08,593 --> 01:06:12,639
* I wanna get
snowed in with you *

1671
01:06:12,681 --> 01:06:15,642
* Think of all the
fun things we can do *

1672
01:06:15,684 --> 01:06:16,810
- Uncle Harry!

1673
01:06:16,851 --> 01:06:17,727
- Oh!

1674
01:06:17,769 --> 01:06:18,937
Hi.

1675
01:06:18,978 --> 01:06:19,938
- How did you know it was me?

1676
01:06:19,979 --> 01:06:20,939
- I saw April, silly.

1677
01:06:20,980 --> 01:06:22,649
- Oh, that's so smart.

1678
01:06:22,691 --> 01:06:24,234
(April laughs)

1679
01:06:24,275 --> 01:06:26,069
Hey.

1680
01:06:26,111 --> 01:06:27,112
So glad you get to spend
Christmas with the family.

1681
01:06:27,153 --> 01:06:28,530
- You and me both.

1682
01:06:28,571 --> 01:06:29,739
I thought I was
gonna get deployed,

1683
01:06:29,781 --> 01:06:31,199
but Christmas miracle.

1684
01:06:31,241 --> 01:06:32,409
Don't have to leave
till after the new year.

1685
01:06:32,450 --> 01:06:33,660
- I went with the candy cane.

1686
01:06:33,702 --> 01:06:34,703
- Oh, it's perfect.

1687
01:06:34,744 --> 01:06:36,162
- Thank you.
- Yes.

1688
01:06:36,204 --> 01:06:37,831
- What I wanna know is how did

1689
01:06:37,872 --> 01:06:39,958
you get him out 'cause this
costume was not his idea.

1690
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:41,835
- No, actually,
he wanted to come.

1691
01:06:41,876 --> 01:06:43,378
- Really?
- Yeah.

1692
01:06:43,420 --> 01:06:44,921
- That's really good to hear,

1693
01:06:44,963 --> 01:06:46,047
and it's really
nice to see him out.

1694
01:06:46,089 --> 01:06:47,507
- Ladies.
- Shall we?

1695
01:06:47,549 --> 01:06:48,216
- Let's go dance.

1696
01:06:48,258 --> 01:06:49,342
- Okay.
- Oh.

1697
01:06:49,384 --> 01:06:50,635
- Have fun.
- Hey, you,

1698
01:06:50,677 --> 01:06:52,053
you save me a dance.

1699
01:06:52,095 --> 01:06:52,846
(Harrington chuckles)
(Lindsay laughs)

1700
01:06:52,887 --> 01:06:54,097
(April chuckles)

1701
01:06:54,139 --> 01:06:55,849
- [Harrington] Where were we?

1702
01:06:55,890 --> 01:06:56,725
Oh, yeah.

1703
01:06:56,766 --> 01:06:57,767
- Yeah.

1704
01:06:59,144 --> 01:07:00,812
- You know, I gotta thank you.

1705
01:07:01,813 --> 01:07:03,398
- Thank me?

1706
01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:07,277
For what, a plaid shirt
and a very chic beard?

1707
01:07:07,318 --> 01:07:08,778
(Harrington chuckles)
(April chuckles)

1708
01:07:08,820 --> 01:07:11,531
- Among other things,
but more importantly,

1709
01:07:12,615 --> 01:07:15,118
man, I was just, I
needed to stop seein'

1710
01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:16,786
the world in such
a negative way.

1711
01:07:16,828 --> 01:07:18,288
- Hm, hm.

1712
01:07:18,329 --> 01:07:20,874
- And you really
helped me do that.

1713
01:07:20,915 --> 01:07:23,126
- There's so much
good around here

1714
01:07:23,168 --> 01:07:25,295
and if I hadn't come
I woulda missed it.

1715
01:07:25,337 --> 01:07:26,838
- Harrington?
- Yeah?

1716
01:07:30,842 --> 01:07:32,427
- The truth is (sighs)...

1717
01:07:34,846 --> 01:07:36,348
- Uh oh.

1718
01:07:36,389 --> 01:07:37,682
- I love your books.

1719
01:07:37,724 --> 01:07:38,683
- What (laughs)?

1720
01:07:39,684 --> 01:07:41,478
- I...

1721
01:07:41,519 --> 01:07:43,688
From the moment I read the
first page, I was hooked.

1722
01:07:43,730 --> 01:07:45,148
I mean, my dad was a fan,

1723
01:07:45,190 --> 01:07:48,526
but I am seriously
like a super fan.

1724
01:07:49,569 --> 01:07:50,862
- Why didn't you
want to tell me that?

1725
01:07:50,904 --> 01:07:52,030
- Because I'm here to work,

1726
01:07:52,072 --> 01:07:53,156
and I didn't want you to think

1727
01:07:53,198 --> 01:07:55,533
that I was just another groupie.

1728
01:07:56,201 --> 01:07:57,869
I wanted your respect.

1729
01:08:00,538 --> 01:08:02,916
- You got it,

1730
01:08:02,957 --> 01:08:04,000
groupie.

1731
01:08:04,042 --> 01:08:06,628
- (laughs) Stop it.

1732
01:08:06,670 --> 01:08:08,171
(Harrington laughs)

1733
01:08:08,213 --> 01:08:09,506
(laughs) It's so glossy.
(Harrington chuckles)

1734
01:08:09,547 --> 01:08:10,757
- I might have to
grow one myself.

1735
01:08:10,799 --> 01:08:11,675
- You should (laughs).

1736
01:08:12,384 --> 01:08:13,051
- What?

1737
01:08:13,093 --> 01:08:14,302
What the?

1738
01:08:16,304 --> 01:08:21,351
* There's somethin'
'bout December skies *

1739
01:08:25,146 --> 01:08:26,856
What's all this?

1740
01:08:26,898 --> 01:08:29,609
(door closes)

1741
01:08:33,238 --> 01:08:35,240
You shouldn't have done this.

1742
01:08:35,907 --> 01:08:37,033
- It was nothing.

1743
01:08:37,075 --> 01:08:38,702
I worked it out with Chris.

1744
01:08:38,743 --> 01:08:41,579
- No, I mean, I really
wish you hadn't done this.

1745
01:08:43,331 --> 01:08:45,375
- Harrington, what's wrong?

1746
01:08:45,417 --> 01:08:49,379
- I said to you, I said
to you, I don't do trees.

1747
01:08:49,421 --> 01:08:50,338
- Well, I was just trying to-

1748
01:08:50,380 --> 01:08:51,840
- I didn't want this.

1749
01:08:52,799 --> 01:08:53,925
- I'm sorry.

1750
01:08:53,967 --> 01:08:55,343
I didn't mean to upset you.

1751
01:08:55,385 --> 01:08:58,013
Can you tell me what's going on?

1752
01:08:59,806 --> 01:09:01,516
- I need some space.

1753
01:09:01,558 --> 01:09:02,726
Excuse me.

1754
01:09:02,767 --> 01:09:05,478
(sullen music)

1755
01:09:20,618 --> 01:09:23,496
(phone ringing)

1756
01:09:32,630 --> 01:09:33,631
- Hello.

1757
01:09:33,673 --> 01:09:35,300
- [Sue] Morning, April.

1758
01:09:35,342 --> 01:09:37,719
There's a special delivery
for you downstairs.

1759
01:09:37,761 --> 01:09:39,095
- Really?

1760
01:09:39,137 --> 01:09:40,096
- Yes.

1761
01:09:40,138 --> 01:09:41,556
Would you like it to be sent up?

1762
01:09:43,058 --> 01:09:45,185
- No, I'll come down.

1763
01:09:45,226 --> 01:09:46,853
I'll be there in a few minutes.

1764
01:09:46,895 --> 01:09:48,271
- [Sue] Okay.

1765
01:09:52,817 --> 01:09:54,235
- Surprise!

1766
01:09:54,277 --> 01:09:55,487
- Mom!

1767
01:09:55,528 --> 01:09:58,198
Oh (laughs)!

1768
01:10:01,868 --> 01:10:04,954
- [Sue] So, what happened?

1769
01:10:06,039 --> 01:10:07,415
- I'm not really sure.

1770
01:10:08,166 --> 01:10:09,793
I thought he would be happy

1771
01:10:09,834 --> 01:10:12,087
to see his family's old
Christmas decorations,

1772
01:10:12,128 --> 01:10:15,215
but instead he just
completely shut down.

1773
01:10:15,256 --> 01:10:18,093
- It was a beautiful
thing you tried to do.

1774
01:10:18,134 --> 01:10:20,512
Harrington is a
really lovely man.

1775
01:10:20,553 --> 01:10:22,097
I'm sure he'll come around.

1776
01:10:23,139 --> 01:10:25,141
- How do you know
he's a lovely man?

1777
01:10:25,183 --> 01:10:26,643
- No way I could have afforded
this last minute flight.

1778
01:10:26,685 --> 01:10:27,977
Harrington set it up.

1779
01:10:29,979 --> 01:10:31,773
- I can't believe he did that.

1780
01:10:31,815 --> 01:10:34,567
(gentle music)

1781
01:10:38,488 --> 01:10:40,031
- I said no trees.

1782
01:10:40,073 --> 01:10:42,450
I said specifically,
"I don't want a tree."

1783
01:10:42,492 --> 01:10:45,662
- If you're gonna
blame anyone, blame me.

1784
01:10:45,704 --> 01:10:47,330
I thought it was a good idea.

1785
01:10:48,248 --> 01:10:50,125
- Guilty party over here, too.

1786
01:10:50,166 --> 01:10:51,459
I thought it was really sweet.

1787
01:10:51,501 --> 01:10:53,169
- Reminding me of
what I've lost?

1788
01:10:53,211 --> 01:10:54,337
- No, I think she was trying

1789
01:10:54,379 --> 01:10:55,672
to remind you of what you love.

1790
01:10:55,714 --> 01:10:57,716
- Yeah, we all were.

1791
01:10:57,757 --> 01:11:00,510
(gentle music)

1792
01:11:05,223 --> 01:11:06,850
- You know, for the longest
time after mom died,

1793
01:11:06,891 --> 01:11:11,021
I was crushed by guilt.

1794
01:11:12,981 --> 01:11:16,443
I had been so wrapped
up in my own career

1795
01:11:16,484 --> 01:11:19,404
and my success and, you
know, all that nonsense,

1796
01:11:19,446 --> 01:11:24,409
I wasn't here for
her at the end.

1797
01:11:27,412 --> 01:11:29,497
Not in the way I
should have been.

1798
01:11:32,500 --> 01:11:34,419
She loved Christmas
more than anyone I know

1799
01:11:34,461 --> 01:11:39,007
and I think this just made me
realize how badly I failed.

1800
01:11:39,049 --> 01:11:40,550
- [Chis] Yeah, we know.

1801
01:11:41,551 --> 01:11:42,677
- But April doesn't.

1802
01:11:44,554 --> 01:11:47,098
(Harrington scoffs)

1803
01:11:47,140 --> 01:11:48,850
- I was such a jerk.

1804
01:11:48,892 --> 01:11:50,060
- Yeah.

1805
01:11:50,602 --> 01:11:52,062
Like really big one.

1806
01:11:52,103 --> 01:11:53,521
Big jerk.

1807
01:11:53,563 --> 01:11:54,856
- I mean, huge.

1808
01:11:54,898 --> 01:11:55,982
Gargantuan.

1809
01:11:56,024 --> 01:11:56,858
- Massive.
- Maybe.

1810
01:11:56,900 --> 01:11:58,109
- Humongous.

1811
01:11:58,151 --> 01:11:58,777
(Lindsay speaking indistinctly)

1812
01:11:58,818 --> 01:11:59,652
- Okay.

1813
01:11:59,694 --> 01:12:02,280
(Lindsay laughs)

1814
01:12:03,031 --> 01:12:04,324
- Still three Christmateers?

1815
01:12:04,366 --> 01:12:05,700
- Always.

1816
01:12:05,742 --> 01:12:09,454
- Forever.

1817
01:12:09,496 --> 01:12:10,330
(Harrington sighs)

1818
01:12:10,372 --> 01:12:12,499
Come on (chuckles).

1819
01:12:12,540 --> 01:12:13,667
- You're the worst.

1820
01:12:13,708 --> 01:12:16,086
- (chuckles) We love you.

1821
01:12:17,295 --> 01:12:20,840
(upbeat holiday music)

1822
01:12:24,344 --> 01:12:26,262
- Mallory texted
that she's here.

1823
01:12:26,304 --> 01:12:27,597
We should try to find her.

1824
01:12:27,639 --> 01:12:29,099
- All right, dear.

1825
01:12:29,140 --> 01:12:30,433
How are you feeling?

1826
01:12:31,893 --> 01:12:33,812
- I'm just, I'm worried that
Harrington is still angry

1827
01:12:33,853 --> 01:12:35,230
and that he's not gonna show up.

1828
01:12:35,271 --> 01:12:38,650
- Honey, pardon
me for saying so.

1829
01:12:38,692 --> 01:12:39,901
It's all right to be worried

1830
01:12:39,943 --> 01:12:41,194
about your
relationship with him.

1831
01:12:41,236 --> 01:12:43,613
But look, it's Christmas Eve.

1832
01:12:43,655 --> 01:12:45,573
We have tickets to the
best event in town.

1833
01:12:45,615 --> 01:12:47,117
Let's enjoy it.

1834
01:12:49,577 --> 01:12:50,787
- April.

1835
01:12:50,829 --> 01:12:52,163
- Ah.
- Ah, my miracle worker.

1836
01:12:52,205 --> 01:12:53,832
- I'm so glad you made it.

1837
01:12:53,873 --> 01:12:55,333
- Fabulous job.

1838
01:12:55,375 --> 01:12:56,626
I have heard nothing
but glowing reviews

1839
01:12:56,668 --> 01:12:58,086
on Harrington's time here.

1840
01:12:58,128 --> 01:12:59,587
- Well, it's all
over the internet.

1841
01:12:59,629 --> 01:13:01,256
- Oh, Mallory, this
is my mother, Lydia.

1842
01:13:01,297 --> 01:13:02,841
- [Mallory] Hi, so
nice to meet you.

1843
01:13:02,882 --> 01:13:04,384
- I have heard so
much about you.

1844
01:13:04,426 --> 01:13:05,593
- You too.

1845
01:13:05,635 --> 01:13:06,636
- [Lydia] We should
compare notes.

1846
01:13:06,678 --> 01:13:07,846
- We should.

1847
01:13:07,887 --> 01:13:09,264
(Lydia laughs)
(Mallory laughs)

1848
01:13:09,305 --> 01:13:11,391
- Mallory, I do have
something to tell-

1849
01:13:11,433 --> 01:13:12,517
(microphone feedback screeching)

1850
01:13:12,559 --> 01:13:13,727
- Take your seats.

1851
01:13:13,768 --> 01:13:14,853
I wanna make sure the reporters

1852
01:13:14,894 --> 01:13:15,645
get Harrington's entire speech.

1853
01:13:16,730 --> 01:13:17,814
- If he's here.

1854
01:13:18,857 --> 01:13:20,442
- Welcome everyone

1855
01:13:20,483 --> 01:13:24,612
to the annual Mistletoe
Christmas Banquet.

1856
01:13:24,654 --> 01:13:29,868
(audience cheering)
(audience applauding)

1857
01:13:31,077 --> 01:13:33,413
It has become a time
honored tradition

1858
01:13:33,455 --> 01:13:36,750
where we bestow a
very special honor

1859
01:13:36,791 --> 01:13:38,293
to one of our residents.

1860
01:13:38,335 --> 01:13:40,962
And this year we are so proud

1861
01:13:41,004 --> 01:13:43,214
to have this resident back home.

1862
01:13:43,256 --> 01:13:45,008
Harrington Davis!

1863
01:13:45,050 --> 01:13:46,551
(gentle music)

1864
01:13:46,593 --> 01:13:51,514
(audience cheering)
(audience applauding)

1865
01:13:51,556 --> 01:13:52,682
- Thank you.

1866
01:13:52,724 --> 01:13:53,516
- Thank you.

1867
01:13:53,558 --> 01:13:55,018
Wow.

1868
01:13:55,060 --> 01:13:56,478
Look at that, the
key to the city.

1869
01:13:56,519 --> 01:14:00,690
I have a few things that
I would like to say,

1870
01:14:04,986 --> 01:14:06,404
but in my own words.

1871
01:14:06,446 --> 01:14:07,989
- What on earth is he doing?

1872
01:14:08,031 --> 01:14:09,491
We wrote a perfectly
good speech for him.

1873
01:14:09,532 --> 01:14:11,242
- It's okay.

1874
01:14:11,284 --> 01:14:12,619
He's been writing his
own words his whole life.

1875
01:14:12,660 --> 01:14:15,622
- You may be surprised
to hear this,

1876
01:14:15,663 --> 01:14:19,959
but I didn't want to be
here this week in Mistletoe.

1877
01:14:21,378 --> 01:14:25,340
I wasn't sure I ever
wanted to come back at all.

1878
01:14:25,382 --> 01:14:27,133
In fact, the only
reason I'm here

1879
01:14:27,175 --> 01:14:30,261
is because my publisher
forced me to come.

1880
01:14:30,303 --> 01:14:34,307
You know, when I first
wrote "Magic in Mistletoe,"

1881
01:14:34,349 --> 01:14:38,478
it was a tribute to
my favorite holiday,

1882
01:14:38,520 --> 01:14:43,733
and also a love letter
to my family, friends,

1883
01:14:45,068 --> 01:14:47,904
and to this wonderful town.

1884
01:14:49,739 --> 01:14:54,411
But somewhere along the way,
the magic disappeared for me.

1885
01:14:55,829 --> 01:14:59,290
And to be honest, I didn't think
I would ever find it again.

1886
01:14:59,332 --> 01:15:02,377
But being here this week,

1887
01:15:02,419 --> 01:15:06,923
I was reminded that the
magic was always here.

1888
01:15:09,759 --> 01:15:10,760
It was the town,

1889
01:15:12,178 --> 01:15:13,930
it was the people,

1890
01:15:15,265 --> 01:15:17,475
it was the excitement
and the anticipation

1891
01:15:17,517 --> 01:15:19,602
and the joy and the laughter.

1892
01:15:20,395 --> 01:15:22,272
It was all of you.

1893
01:15:24,482 --> 01:15:27,652
And it took a very persistent

1894
01:15:28,778 --> 01:15:33,950
and caring and wildly
over-prepared woman

1895
01:15:37,078 --> 01:15:39,789
to help me see that again.

1896
01:15:39,831 --> 01:15:41,958
And for that, I am
forever grateful.

1897
01:15:44,502 --> 01:15:49,466
So thank you, Mistletoe,
for not losing faith in me,

1898
01:15:50,300 --> 01:15:53,053
and to that very special woman

1899
01:15:53,094 --> 01:15:55,013
for helping me
rediscover the magic,

1900
01:15:56,306 --> 01:16:00,560
because she herself is magic.

1901
01:16:03,605 --> 01:16:08,276
Thank you, Mayor, for
this incredible honor,

1902
01:16:08,318 --> 01:16:11,363
and I promise that
moving forward,

1903
01:16:11,404 --> 01:16:13,448
I will make you all
very, very proud.

1904
01:16:13,490 --> 01:16:18,703
(audience applauding)
(gentle music)

1905
01:16:25,502 --> 01:16:29,589
(light music)
(group chattering)

1906
01:16:29,631 --> 01:16:30,924
- [All] Hey.

1907
01:16:31,508 --> 01:16:32,634
- Great speech, man.

1908
01:16:32,676 --> 01:16:33,468
Great speech.

1909
01:16:33,510 --> 01:16:34,344
- Thank you.

1910
01:16:34,386 --> 01:16:35,970
Thanks, pal.

1911
01:16:36,012 --> 01:16:36,596
- Harrington.

1912
01:16:36,638 --> 01:16:38,139
- Mallory.

1913
01:16:38,181 --> 01:16:39,307
Had you scared for a
minute there, didn't I?

1914
01:16:39,349 --> 01:16:41,017
- Mm hm.

1915
01:16:41,059 --> 01:16:42,769
There's some reporters
that want to talk to you.

1916
01:16:42,811 --> 01:16:44,896
- Oh, reporters.

1917
01:16:44,938 --> 01:16:47,190
Speak to the reporters.
- Of course.

1918
01:16:51,861 --> 01:16:52,904
April.

1919
01:16:53,530 --> 01:16:54,989
Congratulations.

1920
01:16:55,031 --> 01:16:55,990
You did it.

1921
01:16:56,032 --> 01:16:58,326
- Oh no, really it was all him.

1922
01:16:58,368 --> 01:16:59,911
- Are you kidding?

1923
01:16:59,953 --> 01:17:01,413
You did more than you know.

1924
01:17:01,454 --> 01:17:02,664
- Yeah.

1925
01:17:02,706 --> 01:17:04,082
- Harry's back to his old self,

1926
01:17:04,124 --> 01:17:05,709
and a lot of that
is thanks to you.

1927
01:17:05,750 --> 01:17:08,420
- Well, it wasn't
a regular PR gig,

1928
01:17:08,461 --> 01:17:11,798
but I am happy with the results.

1929
01:17:13,008 --> 01:17:15,343
- Excuse me, please
everyone take your seat.

1930
01:17:15,385 --> 01:17:18,096
After dinner we'll go outside
for the lantern lighting.

1931
01:17:18,138 --> 01:17:19,639
Enjoy your dinner.

1932
01:17:19,681 --> 01:17:21,224
- You heard the lady,
dinner is served.

1933
01:17:21,266 --> 01:17:22,392
Thank you so much.

1934
01:17:22,434 --> 01:17:23,435
(Chris speaking faintly)

1935
01:17:23,476 --> 01:17:24,436
- Okay.

1936
01:17:30,316 --> 01:17:33,069
(gentle music)

1937
01:17:39,242 --> 01:17:40,326
- Collins.

1938
01:17:40,368 --> 01:17:41,369
- Davis.

1939
01:17:42,871 --> 01:17:44,080
- You look, uh...

1940
01:17:47,751 --> 01:17:49,669
I'm at a loss for
words, imagine that.

1941
01:17:49,711 --> 01:17:51,671
(April chuckles)

1942
01:17:51,713 --> 01:17:54,716
- Speaking of words,
I loved your speech.

1943
01:17:54,758 --> 01:17:55,967
- Thank you.

1944
01:17:58,345 --> 01:18:00,764
There was something
else I wanted to add.

1945
01:18:02,682 --> 01:18:03,933
I'm sorry.

1946
01:18:04,934 --> 01:18:06,644
Your gesture was
really thoughtful

1947
01:18:06,686 --> 01:18:11,816
and kinda brought up
some tough stuff for me.

1948
01:18:12,901 --> 01:18:15,403
I reacted poorly, but
you couldn't have known.

1949
01:18:15,445 --> 01:18:17,030
I could have said something.

1950
01:18:17,781 --> 01:18:20,367
Anyway, I'm sorry.

1951
01:18:20,408 --> 01:18:21,451
- Hm.

1952
01:18:23,620 --> 01:18:25,246
Well, let's just call it even.

1953
01:18:25,288 --> 01:18:27,248
(Harrington chuckles)
(April chuckles)

1954
01:18:27,290 --> 01:18:29,084
- [Harrington] Do you
wanna go sit down?

1955
01:18:29,125 --> 01:18:30,293
- I do.

1956
01:18:30,335 --> 01:18:33,129
(gentle music)

1957
01:18:37,175 --> 01:18:39,844
(crowd chattering)

1958
01:18:39,886 --> 01:18:41,388
- Are we ready?

1959
01:18:41,429 --> 01:18:42,389
- Yeah.

1960
01:18:48,311 --> 01:18:49,771
Hello, Mistletoe.

1961
01:18:49,813 --> 01:18:55,026
(audience applauding)
(April laughs)

1962
01:18:56,277 --> 01:18:59,656
On behalf of Silver
Spark Publishing,

1963
01:18:59,698 --> 01:19:02,033
thank you so much for
allowing us to be a part

1964
01:19:02,075 --> 01:19:04,703
of this incredible festival.

1965
01:19:04,744 --> 01:19:08,039
And now, please welcome
Harrington Davis.

1966
01:19:08,081 --> 01:19:11,126
(crowd applauding)
(crowd cheering)

1967
01:19:11,167 --> 01:19:12,627
- [Crowd] Harrington!

1968
01:19:12,669 --> 01:19:17,424
(cheering continues)
(applause continues)

1969
01:19:19,384 --> 01:19:21,845
- I am so happy to
be here celebrating

1970
01:19:21,886 --> 01:19:25,015
with all of you
tonight and I am so,

1971
01:19:25,056 --> 01:19:28,059
we are so thrilled to be able

1972
01:19:28,101 --> 01:19:31,563
to offer you an early
Christmas present.

1973
01:19:31,604 --> 01:19:33,982
(crowd gasps)

1974
01:19:34,024 --> 01:19:37,027
We have copies of
the final installment

1975
01:19:37,068 --> 01:19:39,070
of "Magic in Mistletoe."

1976
01:19:39,112 --> 01:19:41,531
These are signed
special editions

1977
01:19:41,573 --> 01:19:45,827
to commemorate the Christmas
and Mistletoe Festival.

1978
01:19:45,869 --> 01:19:48,204
So come on up, get your copy.

1979
01:19:48,246 --> 01:19:53,501
(crowd applauding)
(light holiday music)

1980
01:19:54,252 --> 01:19:56,546
(crowd chattering)

1981
01:19:58,882 --> 01:20:01,343
- It's time for the
lantern lighting.

1982
01:20:01,384 --> 01:20:04,846
May the magic of the
holidays fill our hearts.

1983
01:20:04,888 --> 01:20:07,265
Harrington, will
you do the honors?

1984
01:20:07,307 --> 01:20:08,350
- I would love to.

1985
01:20:14,439 --> 01:20:15,607
Oo.

1986
01:20:15,648 --> 01:20:18,485
(all chuckling)

1987
01:20:19,652 --> 01:20:24,657
(gentle music)
(crowd chattering)

1988
01:20:28,870 --> 01:20:34,125
(music continues)
(chattering continues)

1989
01:20:40,215 --> 01:20:41,800
I wanna show you something.

1990
01:20:41,841 --> 01:20:47,097
(crowd chattering)
(music continues)

1991
01:20:52,227 --> 01:20:53,561
Almost there, almost there.

1992
01:20:53,603 --> 01:20:54,729
- What are we doing out here?

1993
01:20:54,771 --> 01:20:55,605
- Just keep your eyes closed.

1994
01:20:55,647 --> 01:20:56,439
We're almost there.

1995
01:20:58,400 --> 01:21:01,069
So, it was Christmas
Eve, 12 years old.

1996
01:21:01,111 --> 01:21:03,446
I was walkin' back from
the Christmas tree farm

1997
01:21:03,488 --> 01:21:06,074
and it was getting dark
and I thought I was lost,

1998
01:21:06,116 --> 01:21:09,911
so closed my eyes
and I made a wish.

1999
01:21:09,953 --> 01:21:12,455
We're at a bench, turn and sit.

2000
01:21:15,458 --> 01:21:18,128
And when I opened my eyes,

2001
01:21:18,878 --> 01:21:20,005
open your eyes,

2002
01:21:22,882 --> 01:21:24,467
my wish came true.

2003
01:21:24,509 --> 01:21:25,927
Found my way home.

2004
01:21:25,969 --> 01:21:27,721
- (sighs) Wow.

2005
01:21:28,930 --> 01:21:30,473
That is magical.

2006
01:21:30,515 --> 01:21:31,433
- Hm.

2007
01:21:31,474 --> 01:21:33,601
(April chuckles)

2008
01:21:33,643 --> 01:21:35,103
- What do they look like?

2009
01:21:36,187 --> 01:21:39,566
- (sighs) They
look like fairies.

2010
01:21:39,607 --> 01:21:43,111
- Mm hm.

2011
01:21:43,153 --> 01:21:44,112
- The Christmas Fairy?

2012
01:21:44,154 --> 01:21:45,572
- The Christmas Fairy.

2013
01:21:45,613 --> 01:21:47,449
- Is this where you
came up with the idea?

2014
01:21:47,490 --> 01:21:48,825
- Mm hm.

2015
01:21:48,867 --> 01:21:50,326
Yeah, yeah, I went
home that night

2016
01:21:50,368 --> 01:21:53,830
and I started writing
what would become

2017
01:21:53,872 --> 01:21:56,166
the first chapter of
"Magic in Mistletoe."

2018
01:21:56,207 --> 01:21:57,250
- Oh.

2019
01:21:58,251 --> 01:22:00,253
- And the evening
was so memorable

2020
01:22:00,295 --> 01:22:03,590
when I had the opportunity,
I bought the property,

2021
01:22:03,631 --> 01:22:06,426
and built a house and
the rest is history.

2022
01:22:06,468 --> 01:22:08,803
(April chuckles)

2023
01:22:08,845 --> 01:22:10,263
- But everyone wants to know

2024
01:22:10,305 --> 01:22:11,973
where to find the
Christmas Fairy.

2025
01:22:12,015 --> 01:22:13,475
- [Harrington] Mm hm.

2026
01:22:13,516 --> 01:22:15,185
- Why did you tell me?

2027
01:22:15,226 --> 01:22:16,603
- You're not everyone.

2028
01:22:21,733 --> 01:22:25,153
- Gosh, this week has been...

2029
01:22:25,195 --> 01:22:27,489
Well, we've had our
moments (laughs).

2030
01:22:28,365 --> 01:22:29,366
- Mm hm.

2031
01:22:30,533 --> 01:22:33,620
- But I just, I want
you to know that for me,

2032
01:22:33,661 --> 01:22:35,580
it has all been worth it

2033
01:22:35,622 --> 01:22:39,376
because I got the chance
to know you better,

2034
01:22:39,417 --> 01:22:44,089
and believe it or not,
I really like you.

2035
01:22:49,177 --> 01:22:52,555
(Harrington chuckles)

2036
01:22:53,348 --> 01:22:55,100
- I really like you, too.

2037
01:22:57,894 --> 01:22:59,562
For the longest time,

2038
01:22:59,604 --> 01:23:04,442
I didn't believe in magic,
but you changed my mind.

2039
01:23:06,069 --> 01:23:09,114
- I think I've heard
that somewhere before.

2040
01:23:09,155 --> 01:23:10,865
- Mm hm, book one, page 234.

2041
01:23:10,907 --> 01:23:13,201
(April chuckles)

2042
01:23:13,243 --> 01:23:14,994
- Except I really mean it.

2043
01:23:15,036 --> 01:23:17,789
(gentle music)

2044
01:23:24,462 --> 01:23:27,465
(music continues)

2045
01:23:35,098 --> 01:23:36,349
(music fades)
