Just breathe, Chuck.
You've got this. We've got this!
4
00:00:53,750 --> 00:00:55,333
- But-but, Debbie--
- No, trust me.

00:00:55,458 --> 00:00:57,166
Once he hears the pitch
for Operation Wish,
6
00:00:57,291 --> 00:01:00,917
it'll be goodbye, HR,
hello, workshop! Ah.
7
00:01:01,041 --> 00:01:02,834
- Workshop?
- Workshop.
8
00:01:02,959 --> 00:01:04,125
Workshop, baby, let's go!
9
00:01:04,250 --> 00:01:05,750
- Let's go!
- All right, all right.
10
00:01:05,875 --> 00:01:09,667
Being a human
has never been harder.
11
00:01:09,792 --> 00:01:13,083
Social media, super storms,
12
00:01:13,208 --> 00:01:15,458
mac-and-cheese ice cream.
13
00:01:15,583 --> 00:01:17,959
Why, it can't be
as bad as all that.
14
00:01:18,083 --> 00:01:21,667
Look, Santa, it seems
that the world is in dire need
15
00:01:21,667 --> 00:01:23,458
of some Christmas magic.
16
00:01:23,583 --> 00:01:26,542
Hm, now, that I understand.
17
00:01:26,667 --> 00:01:28,083
Sir, I'm not gonna
sugar-coat it,
18
00:01:28,208 --> 00:01:30,125
there is a lot of grumps
in this world.
19
00:01:30,250 --> 00:01:32,000
We have a chart right here.
20
00:01:33,208 --> 00:01:35,375
Oh, oh, no!
21
00:01:35,375 --> 00:01:38,959
But we believe
we may have a solution.
22
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,417
The concept is simple.
23
00:01:42,542 --> 00:01:44,917
One human,
three Christmas wishes
24
00:01:45,041 --> 00:01:48,208
to bring back
the joy of Christmas.
25
00:01:48,333 --> 00:01:50,000
Christmas! Ha-ha.
26
00:01:50,125 --> 00:01:52,542
We reviewed with legal and there
are just a couple of provisos.
27
00:01:52,667 --> 00:01:56,250
Yes, no super powers, no
instant millionaire wishes, no.
28
00:01:56,375 --> 00:01:58,250
Keep it small,
keep it toy-sized.
29
00:01:58,375 --> 00:02:00,542
Oh, I-I-I like that.
30
00:02:00,542 --> 00:02:03,417
That feels Christmasy.
31
00:02:03,542 --> 00:02:05,959
Also, we can't use any obvious
in-your-face magic
32
00:02:05,959 --> 00:02:08,125
to grant wishes, right?
That would give us away.
33
00:02:08,125 --> 00:02:12,125
It has to feel organic, natural,
coincidental, if you will.
34
00:02:12,250 --> 00:02:14,083
Mm-hmm. Like Christmas kismet.
35
00:02:14,083 --> 00:02:15,500
- You've got it.
- You get it.
36
00:02:15,625 --> 00:02:17,375
Only one question.
37
00:02:19,083 --> 00:02:21,458
What's not to love?
38
00:02:21,458 --> 00:02:23,250
- Oh. Oh, great!
- Yeah, well, all right, great!
39
00:02:23,250 --> 00:02:25,291
Well, thank you, Santa.
Sir, you won't regret it.
40
00:02:25,291 --> 00:02:27,417
How do we select the winner?
41
00:02:27,542 --> 00:02:29,583
Oh, uh, legal advised
that we choose at random.
42
00:02:29,583 --> 00:02:32,750
So would you like to do
the honors, sir?
43
00:02:32,875 --> 00:02:34,000
Oh.
44
00:02:35,542 --> 00:02:36,667
Oh-oh-oh.
45
00:02:41,333 --> 00:02:42,500
Oh.
46
00:02:42,625 --> 00:02:46,458
Like I said, it's a crisis.
47
00:02:54,333 --> 00:02:57,000
Well, fa-la la-la-la la-la-la

Not sure
I understand the question.
61
00:03:41,667 --> 00:03:44,208
My mom says
last Christmas made you cynical,
62
00:03:44,208 --> 00:03:47,291
and now you don't like it
as much. What's a cynical?
63
00:03:47,417 --> 00:03:49,375
Hey, your mom and I are gonna
have a little bit of a chat
64
00:03:49,375 --> 00:03:51,041
about something
called oversharing.
65

sarcasm is a defense mechanism.

Well, your mom is, uh,
well, she's a smart lady,

I still love Christmas.

Wait, does
kneeling mean he's proposing?
74
00:04:15,041 --> 00:04:16,834
I can also admit
that Christmas last year
75
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:18,750
was kind of exhausting.

do you wanna go with us
90
00:05:01,083 --> 00:05:02,291
to get some hot cocoa?
91
00:05:02,417 --> 00:05:03,625
Oh, you know, I would love to,
92
00:05:03,625 --> 00:05:04,667
but I've to go to the studio.
93
00:05:04,792 --> 00:05:06,417
- Please.
- Uh, sorry, buddy.

00:05:06,542 --> 00:05:07,959

00:05:08,083 --> 00:05:09,583
What is with
the Scrooge routine this year?
96
00:05:09,583 --> 00:05:11,542
- You've been such a ghost.
- Okay, first of all...
97
00:05:11,667 --> 00:05:13,458
I don't feel like you know
who's who in that story.
98
00:05:13,458 --> 00:05:16,458
And I have done all of
the things Christmas, okay?
99
00:05:16,458 --> 00:05:19,125
The-the shopping, the wrapping.
We went to the pageant.
100
00:05:19,250 --> 00:05:20,959
Yeah, but it's been like
doing it all with
101
00:05:20,959 --> 00:05:23,375
the Ghost Of Christmas Blah.
102
00:05:23,500 --> 00:05:25,625
Is this,
is this an Archie thing?
103
00:05:25,750 --> 00:05:27,792
- What? No.
- What's an Archie?
104
00:05:27,917 --> 00:05:29,750
The photography guy
who broke up with her
105
00:05:29,875 --> 00:05:31,458
last Christmas. Remember?
106
00:05:31,583 --> 00:05:33,250
He wore all black
and talked a lot.
107
00:05:33,375 --> 00:05:36,000
Olivia! Wow, she really picks up
on everything.
108
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,291
- I'm so sorry.
- It's okay.
109
00:05:37,417 --> 00:05:38,959
Because you know what, guys?
110
00:05:39,083 --> 00:05:41,000
This is not an Archie thing.
And you know why?
111
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,125
Because auntie is not defined
by her past relationships.
112
00:05:44,125 --> 00:05:47,166
Got that, Olivia? Jonah?
113
00:05:47,291 --> 00:05:49,000
Wonderful.
This is not about a breakup.
114
00:05:49,125 --> 00:05:51,125
It's about a breakthrough
with my art,
115
00:05:51,250 --> 00:05:52,959

I have to go to the studio.

00:09:26,417 --> 00:09:28,917
I don't have any kids. My folks
are getting a little older.
172
00:09:29,041 --> 00:09:31,458
So, yeah, you could say
it's fallen to me to make sure
173
00:09:31,583 --> 00:09:34,542
that none of our traditions
fall through the cracks.
174
00:09:34,542 --> 00:09:36,208
- You want my advice?
- Sure.
175
00:09:36,208 --> 00:09:40,041
Keep it simple.
Give everyone the same thing.
176
00:09:40,041 --> 00:09:43,667
No. No! You can't do that.
Who does that?
177
00:09:46,333 --> 00:09:49,208
- You do that.
- Objection. Relevance.
178
00:09:49,333 --> 00:09:50,917
He makes them all himself.
179
00:09:50,917 --> 00:09:53,250
Though, I've never actually
seen it in person.
180
00:09:53,250 --> 00:09:55,709
But, I mean, that's cheating, if
I gave you guys my photography
181
00:09:55,834 --> 00:09:57,250
every year, I would never hear
the end of it.
182
00:09:57,375 --> 00:10:00,125
- Wait. She's a photographer?
- Hm.
183
00:10:00,250 --> 00:10:02,125
You said
it was drinks with friends.
184
00:10:02,250 --> 00:10:05,542
Well, it is.
Erin's a friend. My friend.
185
00:10:05,667 --> 00:10:08,083
She just happened to become
my sister-in-law.
186
00:10:08,208 --> 00:10:12,542
And here I am, dressed like I'm
teaching kids to paint on PBS
187
00:10:12,542 --> 00:10:15,542
instead of going
on a blind date.
188
00:10:15,667 --> 00:10:19,375
- Sorry, what?
- Oh-oh, this. This is a setup.
189
00:10:19,500 --> 00:10:21,750
And we have been set up to fail.
190
00:10:21,750 --> 00:10:24,166
Erin,
you set Taylor and I up,
191
00:10:24,291 --> 00:10:26,625
and look how well that went. I'm
just trying to return the favor.
192
00:10:26,625 --> 00:10:29,500
And please know that I would not
normally be this candid until
193
00:10:29,625 --> 00:10:33,000
we were 21 dates in
and with a adopted cat.
194
00:10:34,083 --> 00:10:36,250
- Dog?
- Better.
195
00:10:36,375 --> 00:10:39,125
Hm. Guess it wasn't
meant to be. Shame.
196
00:10:39,250 --> 00:10:41,917
- Shame.
- Shame. Heh-heh.
197
00:10:45,208 --> 00:10:48,625
Well, uh, ahem, it was lovely
chatting all things Christmas
198
00:10:48,625 --> 00:10:50,375
with you,
but I am suddenly exhausted.
199
00:10:50,500 --> 00:10:52,709
And as I have told
these two multiple times,
200
00:10:52,834 --> 00:10:56,417
I'm just not really in a dating
kind of headspace right now.
201
00:10:56,542 --> 00:10:59,917
- So if you'll excuse me...
- Erin, we're sorry.
202
00:10:59,917 --> 00:11:01,375
- Just, why don't you stay?
- Erin, come on.
203
00:11:01,500 --> 00:11:03,625
- Come on.
- Have a great night.
204
00:11:07,250 --> 00:11:08,542
She's fun.
205
00:11:25,500 --> 00:11:27,667
You know, I still
can't believe she deleted it.
206
00:11:27,667 --> 00:11:30,000
I told you,
we were doing too much.
207
00:11:30,125 --> 00:11:32,250
We're playing with fire here,
I mean, we are literally
208
00:11:32,375 --> 00:11:34,792
chestnuts roasting
on an open fire, Chuck.
209
00:11:34,917 --> 00:11:38,125
- Deborah.
- It's Debbie.
210
00:11:38,125 --> 00:11:41,083
Do you think that
swiping and spam filters
211
00:11:41,208 --> 00:11:44,083
are any match for magic?
We're just getting started here.
212
00:11:44,208 --> 00:11:48,291
Let her have her little
silent night. We know her.
213
00:11:48,291 --> 00:11:50,667
We know what she likes.
You memorized her file.
214
00:11:50,792 --> 00:11:53,000
Huh, people-pleaser, perfectionist.
215
00:11:53,125 --> 00:11:54,500
A shocking disdain
for peppermint,
216
00:11:54,625 --> 00:11:55,959
which I will never understand.
217
00:11:56,083 --> 00:11:59,375
Exactly. She's normal-ish.
218
00:11:59,500 --> 00:12:03,375
We got this. Eyes on the prize.
219
00:12:03,500 --> 00:12:06,333
Cheers, buddy. Ha-ha!
220
00:12:09,792 --> 00:12:12,542
- Hey, Erin. It's me.
- Hey, Taylor.
221
00:12:12,667 --> 00:12:16,000
Hey, uh, Jonah's gopher gang
gift is over there on the couch.
222
00:12:16,125 --> 00:12:19,166
Wow, try saying that
three times fast.
223
00:12:20,458 --> 00:12:22,000
- Hi.
- Hey.
224
00:12:22,125 --> 00:12:24,542
We were on our way to court.
What'd you want me to do?
225
00:12:24,667 --> 00:12:26,333
Leave him in the car
with the window cracked?
226
00:12:26,458 --> 00:12:29,542
And I also come bearing
a little seasonal pick-me-up.
227
00:12:29,542 --> 00:12:31,625
- Oh.
- That is...
228
00:12:31,750 --> 00:12:34,750
- Go ahead. A...
- It's a peppermint mocha.
229
00:12:34,750 --> 00:12:36,458
- Mm-hmm. Yeah.
- Dude.
230
00:12:36,583 --> 00:12:38,750
- I told you, no peppermint.
- It's fine.
231
00:12:38,875 --> 00:12:40,583
No, I asked if she'd like
a mocha, and you said
232
00:12:40,583 --> 00:12:42,750
"No peppermint."
233
00:12:42,875 --> 00:12:46,083
I thought you meant,
"No. Peppermint."
234
00:12:46,208 --> 00:12:49,166
It's fine. Thank you.
235
00:12:49,291 --> 00:12:50,834
Wait, yeah, hold on.
Uh, these...
236
00:12:52,083 --> 00:12:53,709
These are amazing.
237
00:12:53,834 --> 00:12:55,250
Reminds me of Helene Binet.
238
00:12:55,250 --> 00:12:57,083
- I love Helene Binet.
- Mm.
239
00:12:57,083 --> 00:12:58,500
Wait a second. You know Binet?
240
00:12:58,625 --> 00:13:00,583
- Uh, my uncle's a photographer.
- Huh.
241
00:13:00,583 --> 00:13:02,375
Wow, it's kind of like Maria
242
00:13:02,500 --> 00:13:04,250
and I knew
you had some things in common.
243
00:13:04,250 --> 00:13:05,750
- Oh, don't even try it.
- Not off the hook yet.
244
00:13:05,750 --> 00:13:07,625
- Don't.
- And...
245
00:13:07,750 --> 00:13:11,083
- I've gotta take this.
- Your phone didn't ring.
246
00:13:11,208 --> 00:13:12,750
Sam's got something to ask you.
247
00:13:12,875 --> 00:13:15,041
- Ha.
- Really?
248
00:13:15,166 --> 00:13:17,959
You moved to Duluth to work
with that brilliant legal mind?
249
00:13:18,083 --> 00:13:20,291
Well, something like that. Ahem.
250
00:13:20,291 --> 00:13:22,125
These-these are really stunning.
251
00:13:22,125 --> 00:13:24,542
Are you planning
any kind of show or anything?
252
00:13:24,667 --> 00:13:28,625
It's my turn to interrogate.
Why'd you leave Chicago?
253
00:13:28,750 --> 00:13:32,792
I went to law school in Chicago
because my dad recommended it.
254
00:13:32,792 --> 00:13:36,291
I took a job at a law firm
that my professor recommended.
255
00:13:36,291 --> 00:13:39,125
And why do I feel like
this is a distraction
256
00:13:39,250 --> 00:13:41,083
because Taylor said
I have something to ask?
257
00:13:41,208 --> 00:13:44,792
Oh, uh, um, Sam, I just...
258
00:13:44,917 --> 00:13:47,917
I know it's, uh,
it's-it's a lot to explain.
259
00:13:48,041 --> 00:13:49,583
I'm just not really an act.
260
00:13:49,583 --> 00:13:51,834
Um, you seem like
a really nice person.
261
00:13:51,959 --> 00:13:54,458
- You j... I just...
- Oh. No, no, no, no.
262
00:13:54,458 --> 00:13:56,083
- Appreciate it.
- No, no, no, no. My...
263
00:13:56,208 --> 00:13:58,125
My family
has some old undeveloped photos.
264
00:13:58,250 --> 00:13:59,709
- I was wondering if--
- Oh, yes!
265
00:13:59,834 --> 00:14:01,500
And I could develop them.
266
00:14:01,625 --> 00:14:03,834
- Great.
- I said that loud.
267
00:14:03,834 --> 00:14:07,166
Uh, so should I just drop
the film off today? Later?
268
00:14:07,166 --> 00:14:08,834
Actually,
today's kind of a disaster.
269
00:14:08,834 --> 00:14:10,417
But, um, what about tomorrow?
270
00:14:10,542 --> 00:14:12,458
I could swing by your place
and get 'em.
271
00:14:12,583 --> 00:14:15,750
I mean, not like...
Just-just 'cause it's easier.
272
00:14:15,875 --> 00:14:17,166
Because it's easier.
Because it's easier.
273
00:14:17,291 --> 00:14:19,125
Taylor will give you
my information,
274
00:14:19,250 --> 00:14:20,667
and you just text me
on your way.
275
00:14:20,792 --> 00:14:21,834
Cool.
276
00:14:26,583 --> 00:14:29,166
- Bye, Erin.
- Bye.
277
00:14:40,792 --> 00:14:43,709
- Where's it gonna go?
- Oh, careful.
278
00:14:43,709 --> 00:14:47,041
Yes! The final ornament!
279
00:14:48,458 --> 00:14:50,250
- Final ornament.
- Oh, sorry I'm late.
280
00:14:50,375 --> 00:14:53,291
- Hey, all right.
- Oh, dad, please don't get up.
281
00:14:53,417 --> 00:14:54,834
Oh, my gosh.
Keep icing your back.
282
00:14:54,959 --> 00:14:56,375
Or you're gonna have
a blue, blue Christmas.
283
00:14:56,375 --> 00:14:58,333
But, honey, the tree is crooked.
284
00:14:58,333 --> 00:15:00,542
- The tree is my job.
- Ah, ah, ah.
285
00:15:00,667 --> 00:15:03,375
Have a cookie that Erin made
with the kids.
286
00:15:03,500 --> 00:15:04,750
Wow, you've been busy.
287
00:15:04,875 --> 00:15:06,542
Mm, you don't know
the half of it.
288
00:15:06,542 --> 00:15:08,041
She fixed the lights outside,
289
00:15:08,166 --> 00:15:10,709
baked cookies with the kids,
did the tree.
290
00:15:10,834 --> 00:15:13,500
Had a charming run-in with Sam
over coffee.
291
00:15:13,625 --> 00:15:15,834
- Yeah, what a coincidence.
- Oh, you're welcome.
292
00:15:15,959 --> 00:15:18,583
Okay, what about the list
of things that happened today
293
00:15:18,583 --> 00:15:20,417
make you think
that I should be thanking you?
294
00:15:20,417 --> 00:15:22,083
- Oh! Wow!
- Ooh!
295
00:15:22,208 --> 00:15:23,750
Okay, I gotta go.
296
00:15:23,750 --> 00:15:26,417
I'm gonna apply to some
galleries, but I love you guys,
297
00:15:26,417 --> 00:15:28,041
so I'm gonna grab some
pizzelles on the way out.
298
00:15:28,166 --> 00:15:30,000
Oh, sweetie, sorry,
I haven't made those yet.
299
00:15:30,125 --> 00:15:32,875
- I just got a little tired.
- Oh.
300
00:15:32,875 --> 00:15:34,750
It's fine. Totally fine.
301
00:15:34,875 --> 00:15:37,709
I'm fine. I'm fine.
302
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,750
That's like
three too many fines.
303
00:16:29,208 --> 00:16:30,458
Delete.
304
00:16:31,083 --> 00:16:32,166
Block.
305
00:16:40,417 --> 00:16:41,792
I've been hacked.
306
00:16:41,917 --> 00:16:44,625
Man, the Christmas
is hacking me.
307
00:16:44,750 --> 00:16:49,333
To whom it may concern.
308
00:16:49,458 --> 00:16:52,500
I officially
309
00:16:52,625 --> 00:16:57,333
reject this contest.
310
00:16:57,458 --> 00:17:02,583
Please stop contacting me.
311
00:17:06,667 --> 00:17:09,959
"Would you mind giving us
some feedback as to why?"
312
00:17:12,959 --> 00:17:14,500
Oh!
313
00:17:14,625 --> 00:17:16,500
"These wishes are wasted on me.
314
00:17:16,625 --> 00:17:19,417
They should go
to someone more festive."
315
00:17:20,583 --> 00:17:25,125
That's exactly why we chose you.
316
00:17:25,250 --> 00:17:29,625
Give us a chance,
uh, start small.
317
00:17:29,750 --> 00:17:33,166
If we let you down, we'll stop.
318
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,542
Okay, fine. Fine.
319
00:17:42,583 --> 00:17:46,834
I wish for some
320
00:17:46,959 --> 00:17:50,208
of my mother's
321
00:17:50,208 --> 00:17:53,417
Christmas pizzelles.
322
00:18:05,667 --> 00:18:07,083
- Mom!
- Hi, sweetie.
323
00:18:07,083 --> 00:18:08,750
Um, I'm sorry about earlier.
324
00:18:08,875 --> 00:18:11,250
I know how hard Christmas was
for you last year,
325
00:18:11,250 --> 00:18:14,417
and you deserve
a little pick-me-up.
326
00:18:14,542 --> 00:18:17,250
H-how did you get here so fast?
327
00:18:17,250 --> 00:18:19,417
Who contacted you?
328
00:18:19,542 --> 00:18:22,625
You know, I worry about you
cooped up in that dark room
329
00:18:22,750 --> 00:18:25,375
with all those chemicals.
330
00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:27,500
Anywho, I love you,
331
00:18:27,625 --> 00:18:29,834
and I will see you tomorrow
at the tree-lighting.
332
00:18:29,959 --> 00:18:31,458
Uh-huh.
333
00:18:32,542 --> 00:18:34,917
Hm.
334
00:19:09,583 --> 00:19:10,875
Uh...
335
00:19:14,500 --> 00:19:15,417
- Hi.
- Hi.
336
00:19:15,417 --> 00:19:18,458
- Come on in.
- Sure.
337
00:19:18,583 --> 00:19:20,125
- Wow!
- Well, not a date, not a date.
338
00:19:20,125 --> 00:19:22,583
I just thought maybe
you could use a little Christmas
339
00:19:22,709 --> 00:19:25,792
made by someone else.
A relaxing Christmas.
340
00:19:25,917 --> 00:19:28,417
A classy Christmas.
341
00:19:28,542 --> 00:19:31,333
- Classy Christmas? Why?
- Hm.
342
00:19:31,333 --> 00:19:32,500
Oh, 'cause of the saxophone.
343
00:19:32,625 --> 00:19:34,166
- Right?
- Right.
344
00:19:34,291 --> 00:19:36,333
Well, this is a lot of
345
00:19:36,458 --> 00:19:38,291
very kind effort for a non-date.
346
00:19:38,291 --> 00:19:41,667
Says the woman who puts forth
so much effort at Christmas
347
00:19:41,667 --> 00:19:43,291
that she's running
on pine-scented fumes.
348
00:19:43,417 --> 00:19:46,291
- Hm.
- Film's in here.
349
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,208
Mm-hmm.
350
00:19:51,792 --> 00:19:52,875
Aww...
351
00:19:56,041 --> 00:19:58,125
- Did you make these?
- Maybe.
352
00:19:58,250 --> 00:20:02,500
I'd put you on the list, but
somebody told me it is cheating
353
00:20:02,500 --> 00:20:04,291
to give everyone the same thing.
354
00:20:04,417 --> 00:20:06,500
- There you go.
- Oh, thank you.
355
00:20:06,625 --> 00:20:09,166
I'll take good care of it.
356
00:20:09,166 --> 00:20:11,333
Look, I must say, you are making
357
00:20:11,458 --> 00:20:14,709
a much better case for Christmas
than that radio contest.
358
00:20:14,834 --> 00:20:17,542
Have you heard those ads? It's
making me completely insane.
359
00:20:17,542 --> 00:20:19,375
Of course, you've heard them.
They're everywhere.
360
00:20:19,375 --> 00:20:22,500
- They even emailed me recently.
- Hm.
361
00:20:22,500 --> 00:20:25,208
Oh, hello. What is this?
362
00:20:25,208 --> 00:20:28,250
Yeah, I did some pro bono work
for them with my old firm.
363
00:20:28,375 --> 00:20:30,041
Don't tell Taylor,
but that's part of why
364
00:20:30,166 --> 00:20:33,208
I'm reluctant
to join his firm full-time.
365
00:20:33,333 --> 00:20:35,542
And I'm hoping to do
more of that kind of work soon.
366
00:20:35,667 --> 00:20:38,041
I think that's awesome.
367
00:20:38,041 --> 00:20:39,834
You should tell him, though.
Really.
368
00:20:39,834 --> 00:20:41,667
- Maybe he could accommodate it.
- Yeah.
369
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,000
Uh, sorry.
370
00:20:45,125 --> 00:20:46,417
Oh.
371
00:20:46,542 --> 00:20:48,709
I swear, this contest is...
372
00:20:51,125 --> 00:20:53,500
- Everything okay?
- Uh...
373
00:20:55,500 --> 00:20:59,417
Yeah, uh, m-maybe. I hope so.
It's fine. Everything is fine.
374
00:20:59,542 --> 00:21:01,417
Um, I do have to go. I'm sorry.
375
00:21:01,417 --> 00:21:05,375
But, um, please, let me make up
for my second rude exit now
376
00:21:05,375 --> 00:21:07,375
with some cookies
when I drop this off?
377
00:21:07,500 --> 00:21:09,375
- Deal.
- Great.
378
00:21:11,208 --> 00:21:13,083
I don't think
you guys really understand.
379
00:21:13,208 --> 00:21:15,542
Archie just won
the most prestigious
380
00:21:15,667 --> 00:21:19,250
nature photography fellowship
in the country!
381
00:21:19,250 --> 00:21:21,417
He hates nature!
382
00:21:21,417 --> 00:21:24,959
When that was my focus,
he said that it was beneath me,
383
00:21:25,083 --> 00:21:26,875
that I need to be focusing
on doing more
384
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,208
gallery-quality work,
like what he was doing.
385
00:21:29,333 --> 00:21:32,208
And now it's my dream and it's
suddenly not good enough? Ha!
386
00:21:32,333 --> 00:21:35,250
Okay, h-hold on.
I'm a little confused.
387
00:21:35,375 --> 00:21:38,417
You said this was an emergency.
Uh, we-we got a sitter.
388
00:21:38,542 --> 00:21:40,959
It's mom and dad. It's fine.
389
00:21:41,083 --> 00:21:43,583
Did he steal your spot
at this fellowship or something?
390
00:21:43,583 --> 00:21:45,542
No, he didn't.
I didn't even wanna move.
391
00:21:45,667 --> 00:21:48,000
And I'm doing the best work
of my life out here this year.
392
00:21:48,125 --> 00:21:50,458
But he wouldn't have even known
about that fellowship
393
00:21:50,583 --> 00:21:52,166
if it wasn't for me!
394
00:21:52,291 --> 00:21:54,917
I get it. I get it.
You just want a little credit.
395
00:21:54,917 --> 00:21:56,750
- Yes.
- But that's never gonna happen.
396
00:21:56,875 --> 00:21:58,417
Because
that's who he is.
397
00:21:58,417 --> 00:22:01,792
He is narcissist.
The god of me, me, me.
398
00:22:01,917 --> 00:22:05,917
No, but-but that's not
all that he was, you guys.
399
00:22:06,041 --> 00:22:09,959
He was fun.
I mean, we all had fun, right?
400
00:22:10,083 --> 00:22:13,959
He was so handsome
and charming, uh...
401
00:22:13,959 --> 00:22:16,500
You know what,
I actually have a journal entry
402
00:22:16,625 --> 00:22:18,959
that speaks to this. One moment.
403
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,834
I'm so sorry. We have to go.
404
00:22:23,959 --> 00:22:26,458
Uh, yeah,
Jonah's not feeling good.
405
00:22:26,583 --> 00:22:28,417
He-he's, uh, stepped on a tack
or something.
406
00:22:28,542 --> 00:22:30,875
- Mm-hmm.
- We gotta check it out.
407
00:22:53,917 --> 00:22:55,083
Mm.
408
00:23:00,625 --> 00:23:04,208
"I just want a little credit.
Is that too much to ask?"
409
00:23:04,333 --> 00:23:08,041
No, baby girl.
We've all been there. Okay.
410
00:23:08,041 --> 00:23:11,500
Is there any way
411
00:23:11,625 --> 00:23:14,208
we can be of some help?
412
00:23:23,166 --> 00:23:26,375
"Not unless you can remind
Archibald Vickers
413
00:23:26,500 --> 00:23:29,083
that I'm the best thing
that ever happened to him."
414
00:23:29,208 --> 00:23:30,542
Archibald Vickers?
415
00:23:30,542 --> 00:23:31,917
She's seriously hung up on a guy
416
00:23:32,041 --> 00:23:34,166
that sounds like
an old-timey robber baron?
417
00:23:34,291 --> 00:23:38,709
He sounds lame
and not attractive.
418
00:23:38,709 --> 00:23:40,542
Uh, give me that. Give me that.
419
00:23:46,667 --> 00:23:47,709
Hm.
420
00:23:55,834 --> 00:23:58,166
Uh, okay.
421
00:23:58,291 --> 00:23:59,375
Mm...
422
00:24:24,625 --> 00:24:26,375
Babe, I had to come see you.
Hold up!
423
00:24:26,500 --> 00:24:28,750
- This cannot be happening.
- Wow!
424
00:24:28,875 --> 00:24:31,125
Okay, maybe I deserve that.
425
00:24:31,125 --> 00:24:33,041
I've been lost without you.
426
00:24:33,166 --> 00:24:34,792
It's just a dream.
427
00:24:34,792 --> 00:24:36,917
- Last Christmas was miserable.
- It's just a weird dream.
428
00:24:37,041 --> 00:24:38,875
Work is miserable.
429
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,959
And I know this is
out of the blue, but I bought
430
00:24:41,083 --> 00:24:43,625
a plane ticket yesterday,
and I said, "You know what?"
431
00:24:43,625 --> 00:24:45,417
Did you just say you bought
a plane ticket yesterday
432
00:24:45,542 --> 00:24:47,959
and not, like, five seconds ago?
433
00:24:48,083 --> 00:24:50,083
Babe, are you okay?
434
00:24:50,208 --> 00:24:52,458
Yeah. I'm fine.
435
00:24:52,458 --> 00:24:55,709
I was just over there,
and I was wishing.
436
00:24:55,834 --> 00:24:58,917
- And then you were here.
- W-wish?
437
00:24:59,041 --> 00:25:01,291
Uh, there's no magic here, babe.
438
00:25:01,291 --> 00:25:05,333
This is just me realizing how
foolish I was when I let you go.
439
00:25:05,333 --> 00:25:07,709
And I hope it's not too late.
440
00:25:07,834 --> 00:25:09,041
Please.
441
00:25:11,375 --> 00:25:14,458
Can we chat?
442
00:25:15,291 --> 00:25:16,333
Uh...
443
00:25:18,792 --> 00:25:20,125
It's Christmas.
444
00:25:23,542 --> 00:25:25,625
Sure. Yeah.
445
00:25:29,625 --> 00:25:31,750
Babe, do you have any snacks?
446
00:25:31,875 --> 00:25:33,291
I get the hype.
447
00:25:33,417 --> 00:25:36,333
Wassail, baby? Ha!
448
00:25:39,458 --> 00:25:41,834
So the gel makes it
too wet, the mousse too crunchy,
449
00:25:41,834 --> 00:25:43,709
and, like, the wax makes it
too dry.
450
00:25:43,834 --> 00:25:45,500
Yeah. Yeah, that's right. Yeah.
451
00:25:45,625 --> 00:25:46,959
I can't believe
we sat up all night talking,
452
00:25:47,083 --> 00:25:48,959
and I'm not even tired.
So what's new with you?
453
00:25:49,083 --> 00:25:50,709
- Hi. Free sample?
- Well, actually--
454
00:25:50,709 --> 00:25:52,959
They got a sprinkle
of Christmas magic.
455
00:25:53,083 --> 00:25:55,375
- Mn-mn.
- Merry Christmas to me.
456
00:25:55,500 --> 00:25:57,125
Um...
457
00:25:57,250 --> 00:25:59,083
Thank you. Cool.
458
00:26:03,875 --> 00:26:07,000
So the fellowship are asking
for a fresh buy-in, right?
459
00:26:07,125 --> 00:26:10,166
Like, artist statement,
a proposal, something like that.
460
00:26:10,166 --> 00:26:14,333
So I call these guys, I say,
"Hey, yo, I'm a photographer.
461
00:26:14,333 --> 00:26:17,375
I'm not a writer." Right?
Can-can you believe that?
462
00:26:17,375 --> 00:26:19,709
You know, like,
they're asking for this, uh...
463
00:26:19,834 --> 00:26:22,250
I mean, I could, I could
take a look at it if you want.
464
00:26:22,375 --> 00:26:24,834
- Yeah? Oh, my God, yes. Yes.
- Yeah.
465
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:26,750
You, I mean, you've always been
better at this stuff anyway.
466
00:26:26,875 --> 00:26:29,709
- Thanks.
- What would I do without you?
467
00:26:29,834 --> 00:26:32,166
- I don't mind.
- Yeah.
468
00:26:32,291 --> 00:26:34,542
Yes, just scroll-scroll
down to the bottom.
469
00:26:36,083 --> 00:26:37,625
- Let's tweak that.
- Hey.
470
00:26:37,750 --> 00:26:39,583
Maybe we can, uh, do my
471
00:26:39,583 --> 00:26:41,417
Christmas shopping after this?
472
00:26:42,834 --> 00:26:44,583
I was, I was gonna go
this weekend,
473
00:26:44,709 --> 00:26:47,917
but then I decided
to come see you.
474
00:26:47,917 --> 00:26:51,875
Uh, have you done, um,
any of your Christmas shopping?
475
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,083
What can I say?
476
00:26:55,208 --> 00:26:57,750
Been lost without you.
477
00:26:57,875 --> 00:27:01,250
So, this is why you bailed
on our wrapping session.
478
00:27:01,250 --> 00:27:03,917
Oh, Maria. Maria's boyfriend.
479
00:27:03,917 --> 00:27:05,709
Uh, Taylor. Husband.
480
00:27:05,709 --> 00:27:08,125
Oh, husband.
481
00:27:08,125 --> 00:27:09,959
Good to see you guys. Ha-ha.
482
00:27:10,083 --> 00:27:11,458
Uh, actually, Erin and I
483
00:27:11,458 --> 00:27:12,875
were about to go and do
some Christmas shopping.
484
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,875
Oh, she doesn't need to go
shopping. She...
485
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,709
Oh, right. His shopping.
486
00:27:17,834 --> 00:27:19,583
You're upending
our plans to do the shopping
487
00:27:19,709 --> 00:27:21,083
he should have done already.
488
00:27:21,208 --> 00:27:23,083
Isn't she the best?
489
00:27:24,750 --> 00:27:27,250
- Mm, peppermint? Seriously?
- Yeah. Yeah, it's--
490
00:27:27,375 --> 00:27:30,208
- You dated her for three years.
- Okay, uh, Erin.
491
00:27:30,333 --> 00:27:32,125
Why don't we get you
another cup of coffee?
492
00:27:32,125 --> 00:27:34,500
- I'm gonna get another coffee.
- Sure.
493
00:27:36,208 --> 00:27:38,959
Uh, uh, baby, can you grab me
a biscotti, please?
494
00:27:39,083 --> 00:27:40,625
How did that happen?
495
00:27:40,625 --> 00:27:42,208
I don't know.
496
00:27:42,333 --> 00:27:44,458
One minute I was just at home
minding my own business,
497
00:27:44,583 --> 00:27:46,625
wishing that he would remember
that I am the best thing
498
00:27:46,750 --> 00:27:48,667
that has ever happened to him,
and then the next minute
499
00:27:48,667 --> 00:27:51,834
he was there. He was just there.
500
00:27:51,959 --> 00:27:55,000
Well, be careful
what you wish for.
501
00:28:01,792 --> 00:28:03,500
So then I said,
you couldn't even
502
00:28:03,500 --> 00:28:05,166
vin-de-pay me
to drink that stuff.
503
00:28:05,291 --> 00:28:07,458
- Ah. That's, that's hilarious.
- Can you believe that?
504
00:28:07,458 --> 00:28:09,500
Hey, uh, we're gonna be really
late for this tree-lighting.
505
00:28:09,625 --> 00:28:11,417
Could you please help me
find the keys?
506
00:28:11,542 --> 00:28:13,333
Yeah, yeah. Sure.
507
00:28:18,792 --> 00:28:20,333
Babe, is this what
you've been working on?
508
00:28:20,458 --> 00:28:22,291
Yeah, but, um, do you mind
if I show you later?
509
00:28:22,417 --> 00:28:26,000
We just really gotta
get ready to go.
510
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,458
- Oh...
- Oh, my God. This is stunning.
511
00:28:28,583 --> 00:28:30,000
Babe, this has to be
your best work ever.
512
00:28:32,166 --> 00:28:34,709
Oh, my gosh. It's Maria. She's
gonna be so mad if we are late.
513
00:28:34,709 --> 00:28:37,542
Uh, could you please just help
me look just a little bit?
514
00:28:37,667 --> 00:28:39,208
- Yeah, yeah.
- Okay.
515
00:28:39,208 --> 00:28:41,583
Man, you are doing this right.
516
00:28:41,709 --> 00:28:44,875
Out here, unplugged,
just immersed.
517
00:28:46,542 --> 00:28:48,500
While I'm doing
this stupid fellowship.
518
00:28:48,625 --> 00:28:51,667
It's not stupid. That fellowship
is a lot of people's dream job.
519
00:28:51,667 --> 00:28:53,667
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I get that.
But you know what?
520
00:28:53,792 --> 00:28:56,333
Honestly, it's like
totally beneath me.
521
00:28:56,458 --> 00:28:58,625
This, this is what
522
00:28:58,750 --> 00:29:01,917
I need to be doing.
I'm so glad I came here.
523
00:29:02,041 --> 00:29:04,375
Do... You know I do my best work
when I'm around you?
524
00:29:04,500 --> 00:29:06,041
- Ha!
- Hey, babe.
525
00:29:06,041 --> 00:29:07,750
You got any more
of these cookies?
526
00:29:09,834 --> 00:29:12,041
You ate all the pizzelles?
527
00:29:12,041 --> 00:29:13,875
Uh, uh, y-yeah.
528
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,542
But-but there's more, right?
529
00:29:15,667 --> 00:29:18,375
Babe?
530
00:29:18,500 --> 00:29:20,375
Time to go.
531
00:29:20,500 --> 00:29:22,250
Relax, relax. Just re... J...
532
00:29:22,250 --> 00:29:24,417
Look, it's not you. It's me.
533
00:29:24,417 --> 00:29:26,709
I'm just not really ready to be
in a relationship right now.
534
00:29:26,834 --> 00:29:28,834
I love you,
but I'm not in love with you.
535
00:29:28,959 --> 00:29:30,250
Well, no, no, no, no.
You can't do this.
536
00:29:30,375 --> 00:29:33,125
Not now. It's Christmas!
537
00:29:33,250 --> 00:29:35,375
It was Christmas last year!
538
00:29:39,667 --> 00:29:42,208
What am I supposed to do?
It's cold!
539
00:29:45,333 --> 00:29:48,166
Back to our regular programming.
540
00:29:52,792 --> 00:29:54,208
- Whoa.
- Thank you.
541
00:29:54,333 --> 00:29:56,875
Thank you. Thank you very much.
542
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,417
To the last wish.
543
00:29:58,542 --> 00:30:00,792
- Here we go. Mm-hmm.
- Ah.
544
00:30:00,792 --> 00:30:02,959
- Mm...
- Mm-hmm, good, that's... Mm-hmm.
545
00:30:02,959 --> 00:30:07,959
♪ The snow is falling down
but be warm inside ♪
546
00:30:07,959 --> 00:30:11,542
This isn't Christmas.
It's Groundhog's Day.
547
00:30:11,667 --> 00:30:14,041
- It's tinsel.
- Oh, jeez.
548
00:30:18,083 --> 00:30:19,792
Sorry, lady.
549
00:30:21,583 --> 00:30:25,125
♪ Christmas Valentine ♪
550
00:30:25,250 --> 00:30:26,959
Hey, where are you?
Are you coming?
551
00:30:26,959 --> 00:30:28,125
I don't like to praise him.
552
00:30:28,250 --> 00:30:31,959
I'm not coming!
553
00:30:34,959 --> 00:30:36,000
Ugh!
554
00:30:49,458 --> 00:30:51,500
Okay.
555
00:30:51,625 --> 00:30:53,792
Do you want to know
556
00:30:53,917 --> 00:30:57,250
what I really wish
557
00:30:57,375 --> 00:30:59,500
with all of my heart?
558
00:31:00,917 --> 00:31:03,333
"I wish..." Huh, huh...
559
00:31:03,458 --> 00:31:06,542
"That Christmas
would disappear."
560
00:31:08,083 --> 00:31:09,500
- What?
- Oh, no, wait a second.
561
00:31:09,625 --> 00:31:11,000
Oh, no! Oh, no!
562
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:12,667
Reset, reset!
563
00:31:12,792 --> 00:31:15,166
- This isn't working.
- Channel 13.
564
00:31:15,166 --> 00:31:16,792
What is that gonna do?
565
00:31:16,959 --> 00:31:19,709
Hello, Santa, hello!
566
00:31:19,834 --> 00:31:23,083
Dammit! Go, dammit!
567
00:31:23,208 --> 00:31:25,208
All elves
report to the emergency shelter
568
00:31:25,333 --> 00:31:27,709
immediately.
This is not a drill.
569
00:31:27,709 --> 00:31:30,208
Repeat, this is not a drill.
570
00:31:30,208 --> 00:31:32,375
Christmas is disappearing?
Oh-oh, no.
571
00:31:32,375 --> 00:31:35,500
How could this
be happening? Oh...
572
00:31:35,625 --> 00:31:37,709
North Pole
Counsel now arriving.
573
00:31:37,709 --> 00:31:40,458
Our question exactly, counsel,
you assured us there were
574
00:31:40,583 --> 00:31:42,875
provisions in place to prevent
this kind of disaster.
575
00:31:42,875 --> 00:31:46,542
This naughty is not on us.
I'm not going down for this!
576
00:31:46,542 --> 00:31:49,834
While Erin's wish may have
negative implications for us,
577
00:31:49,959 --> 00:31:52,709
she believed her wish
was inherently positive.
578
00:31:52,709 --> 00:31:56,208
The only legal recourse is
for Erin to take her wish back
579
00:31:56,208 --> 00:31:58,166
and believe it
with all her heart.
580
00:31:58,291 --> 00:32:00,709
So she can just wish Christmas
in and out of existence
581
00:32:00,834 --> 00:32:02,542
based on personal preference?
582
00:32:02,667 --> 00:32:03,875
It's time for the full monty.
583
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,166
Elves tap-dancing.
Reindeer singing.
584
00:32:06,291 --> 00:32:07,583
- Snowmen singing as well.
- Uh-uh-uh.
585
00:32:07,583 --> 00:32:10,834
Unfortunately,
any obvious use of magic
586
00:32:10,959 --> 00:32:13,333
could lead to the exposure
of our world.
587
00:32:13,458 --> 00:32:15,667
And that would have
drastic consequences
588
00:32:15,792 --> 00:32:18,166
for the magic-space-time
continuum.
589
00:32:18,291 --> 00:32:19,917
Okay, but how drastic
are we talking?
590
00:32:19,917 --> 00:32:22,083
I mean, we are already
at a nine here, counsel.
591
00:32:22,083 --> 00:32:26,917
The universe would,
legally speaking, go kablouie.
592
00:32:26,917 --> 00:32:28,291
Okay, that's a ten. Yeah.
593
00:32:28,417 --> 00:32:29,750
But you have options.
594
00:32:29,875 --> 00:32:32,709
As we established
for the wish program,
595
00:32:32,834 --> 00:32:35,583
uh, you can use subtler magic
behind the scenes
596
00:32:35,583 --> 00:32:37,583
to influence her spirits.
597
00:32:37,709 --> 00:32:40,083
Now, now, now,
here's where it gets tricky.
598
00:32:40,083 --> 00:32:42,083
You ever hear of Floobers Day?
599
00:32:44,250 --> 00:32:48,291
Mosquito Appreciation Day.
Mm-hmm, didn't think so.
600
00:32:48,291 --> 00:32:51,875
There is a long history
of holidays disappearing
601
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:53,959
when magic backfires.
602
00:32:53,959 --> 00:32:55,834
"If the date of the holiday
passes
603
00:32:55,959 --> 00:32:57,625
without reversing the spell,
604
00:32:57,625 --> 00:33:00,458
the holiday is erased."
605
00:33:00,583 --> 00:33:03,041
Forever!
606
00:33:03,166 --> 00:33:06,792
So you have until midnight
Christmas Eve.
607
00:33:06,917 --> 00:33:08,625
So a week?
608
00:33:08,750 --> 00:33:11,625
- A week to work some magic?
- Behind-the-scenes magic.
609
00:33:11,750 --> 00:33:13,083
Right, right, right,
right, right, right, because
610
00:33:13,208 --> 00:33:14,792
if-if, uh, anybody
sees the magic
611
00:33:14,792 --> 00:33:16,583
or-or hears about the magic, the
universe will go kablouie.
612
00:33:16,583 --> 00:33:17,792
And that's on us.
That'll be our fault.
613
00:33:17,917 --> 00:33:19,792
Right? What are you doing?
614
00:33:19,792 --> 00:33:22,041
Reaching out
to an old fairy contact.
615
00:33:22,166 --> 00:33:24,500
I hated working teeth,
but a job's a job.
616
00:33:24,625 --> 00:33:26,500
Puck, it's Chuck. Call me.
617
00:33:26,500 --> 00:33:27,917
Hey, Santa, what do you think?
618
00:33:29,041 --> 00:33:31,000
Santa?
619
00:33:31,125 --> 00:33:32,166
Santa's sleigh departing.
620
00:33:32,291 --> 00:33:33,750
Destination Duluth.
621
00:33:33,875 --> 00:33:34,959
Santa!
622
00:34:23,291 --> 00:34:24,917
Where's my tree?
623
00:34:26,959 --> 00:34:28,542
I've been Grinched.
624
00:34:34,208 --> 00:34:35,542
Okay, no.
625
00:34:36,959 --> 00:34:39,041
It's not possible.
626
00:34:45,917 --> 00:34:48,375
Am I the Grinch?
627
00:34:48,500 --> 00:34:50,667
I made Christmas disappear?
628
00:35:00,875 --> 00:35:04,166
Mom, this is not funny.
You're starting to scare me.
629
00:35:04,291 --> 00:35:08,583
I am sorry, sweetie, but I just
have never heard of Christmas.
630
00:35:08,583 --> 00:35:10,375
- Christmas, yes.
- Was that it? No, I...
631
00:35:10,500 --> 00:35:11,583
Just because
it doesn't ring a bell
632
00:35:11,583 --> 00:35:13,083
doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
633
00:35:13,083 --> 00:35:15,917
You know about all kinds
of things that I don't...
634
00:35:15,917 --> 00:35:19,750
Like, um,
how to make a PDF. Mm?
635
00:35:19,750 --> 00:35:21,709
Let me get you
something to drink.
636
00:35:21,834 --> 00:35:23,875
How about a nice herbal tea?
637
00:35:23,875 --> 00:35:25,834
Do you have any cocoa?
638
00:35:25,959 --> 00:35:27,458
- What's cocoa?
- What do you mean?
639
00:35:27,583 --> 00:35:29,125
- What do you mean you don't--
- I'm just kidding.
640
00:35:29,250 --> 00:35:31,250
- It's not funny. It's not funny.
- It is a little funny.
641
00:35:31,250 --> 00:35:32,625
- It's so funny.
- Oh, my God!
642
00:35:32,625 --> 00:35:33,792
This has got to be a prank.
643
00:35:33,792 --> 00:35:35,500
This is a prank. It's just...
644
00:35:36,583 --> 00:35:38,500
Aunt Erin!
645
00:35:39,208 --> 00:35:41,291
Hi, guys.
646
00:35:41,291 --> 00:35:43,125
Nana said you could use a hug.
647
00:35:43,250 --> 00:35:47,750
Yeah, yeah. Auntie is
kind of having a bad day.
648
00:35:47,875 --> 00:35:49,959
I did a very silly thing.
649
00:35:50,083 --> 00:35:52,458
I made a wish
that Christmas would disappear.
650
00:35:54,417 --> 00:35:58,166
- Ah.
- What's that?
651
00:35:58,291 --> 00:36:00,041
Very funny, but I do think
that you could
652
00:36:00,166 --> 00:36:01,542
get in trouble
for pranking your aunt.
653
00:36:01,667 --> 00:36:04,041
You're gonna end up
on Santa's naughty list.
654
00:36:04,166 --> 00:36:06,125
Who is Santa?
655
00:36:10,750 --> 00:36:12,583
You don't know who Santa is?
656
00:36:13,583 --> 00:36:14,667
Nope.
657
00:36:21,792 --> 00:36:23,417
I can fix this.
658
00:36:24,542 --> 00:36:26,041
I can fix this.
659
00:36:50,208 --> 00:36:51,750
- Erin.
- Hi.
660
00:36:51,875 --> 00:36:55,500
Hi. Uh, how's the boyfriend?
661
00:36:55,625 --> 00:36:57,834
Oh, ex-boyfriend.
Is Taylor here?
662
00:36:57,959 --> 00:36:59,500
That was fast. What happened?
663
00:36:59,500 --> 00:37:01,750
He ate all my cookies.
You understand.
664
00:37:03,125 --> 00:37:04,709
Is Taylor here?
665
00:37:04,709 --> 00:37:06,750
Yeah, yeah. Sorry. Come on in.
666
00:37:15,959 --> 00:37:19,458
So you believe that
a radio station erased this...
667
00:37:19,583 --> 00:37:22,166
Christmas.
It's called Christmas.
668
00:37:22,291 --> 00:37:24,458
From everyone's memory.
669
00:37:24,583 --> 00:37:26,875
I understand that it does sound
a little out there,
670
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,834
but, I mean... Taylor, come on,
you gotta remember.
671
00:37:30,959 --> 00:37:32,542
You're saying, every year
672
00:37:32,667 --> 00:37:35,500
our family gets together,
exchanges random gifts
673
00:37:35,625 --> 00:37:39,667
and wears sweaters with an old
bearded guy's face on them?
674
00:37:39,792 --> 00:37:41,750
Yes, exactly.
675
00:37:41,875 --> 00:37:45,583
But you're the only one that
remembers this, uh, Christmas?
676
00:37:45,583 --> 00:37:47,875
What? Sam.
677
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,083
Well, it's not
completely unfamiliar.
678
00:37:50,208 --> 00:37:54,583
There are elements of Germanic
culture, uh, Victorian England.
679
00:37:54,583 --> 00:37:57,583
You said this Santa guy
went by another name?
680
00:37:57,583 --> 00:38:00,333
Yes. Uh, jolly old Saint Nick.
Kris Kringle.
681
00:38:00,458 --> 00:38:02,417
H-how many aliases
does this guy have?
682
00:38:02,542 --> 00:38:04,625
There was a Saint Nicholas known
for his secret gift-giving.
683
00:38:04,750 --> 00:38:06,083
- Yes, that's the one.
- Maybe...
684
00:38:06,208 --> 00:38:07,250
There's a pollutant or
685
00:38:07,375 --> 00:38:09,000
a mass event affecting memory?
686
00:38:09,125 --> 00:38:10,375
Right.
687
00:38:10,375 --> 00:38:11,667
You can't possibly believe her.
688
00:38:11,792 --> 00:38:13,083
- Of course not.
- Hey!
689
00:38:13,208 --> 00:38:14,792
But I also don't believe
that Mr. Johnson
690
00:38:14,917 --> 00:38:16,458
deserves to get
the lakehouse in the divorce,
691
00:38:16,583 --> 00:38:18,625
but that doesn't stop me
from arguing for it.
692
00:38:18,750 --> 00:38:22,417
All right, okay,
all right. This has been fun.
693
00:38:22,542 --> 00:38:24,625
But we do have the Internet.
694
00:38:39,709 --> 00:38:42,125
Clearly you photoshopped that.
695
00:38:42,250 --> 00:38:44,125
Honestly,
w-where would I find the time?
696
00:38:44,250 --> 00:38:47,917
Where would everyone find the
time to collectively prank you?
697
00:38:48,041 --> 00:38:49,458
I don't know.
698
00:38:49,458 --> 00:38:52,959
Wait. This. This will help.
699
00:38:54,709 --> 00:38:56,625
Listen, my advice?
700
00:38:56,750 --> 00:38:59,333
Take the day.
Take the whole day.
701
00:38:59,458 --> 00:39:02,250
Go play with Olivia
and Jonah. They'd love that.
702
00:39:02,375 --> 00:39:04,333
- This doesn't make sense. Uh...
- Erin.
703
00:39:04,458 --> 00:39:06,959
- What? What do you mean relax?
- Relax.
704
00:39:06,959 --> 00:39:09,500
The radio station's
taken this entirely too f...
705
00:39:09,625 --> 00:39:11,458
Oh, my gosh, do you guys realize
706
00:39:11,583 --> 00:39:13,250
how mad
people are gonna be at me?
707
00:39:13,375 --> 00:39:15,667
Okay, you want my advice,
avoid any contact,
708
00:39:15,667 --> 00:39:17,458
written or otherwise,
with the radio station,
709
00:39:17,583 --> 00:39:19,834
and we will figure this out.
710
00:39:19,834 --> 00:39:23,000
Right. Right.
That's what I will do.
711
00:39:23,125 --> 00:39:26,375
That's a good plan.
Thank you, Sam.
712
00:39:32,834 --> 00:39:36,375
Right. So then
Santa comes down the chimney.
713
00:39:36,500 --> 00:39:37,542
Jonah, that's your cue.
714
00:39:37,667 --> 00:39:39,542
- Ho-ho-ho.
- Perfect.
715
00:39:39,667 --> 00:39:41,166
Our house
doesn't have a chimney.
716
00:39:41,291 --> 00:39:44,834
That's totally fine,
because Santa has a magical key
717
00:39:44,959 --> 00:39:46,709
for all of the houses
that do not have one.
718
00:39:46,709 --> 00:39:49,375
And then he gets the presents
719
00:39:49,375 --> 00:39:52,000
and he puts them right here,
under the tree.
720
00:39:52,125 --> 00:39:53,542
But before he goes--
721
00:39:53,667 --> 00:39:56,000
- He has cookies and milk.
- Exactly.
722
00:39:56,125 --> 00:39:58,333
And then brings the tomatoes
to the reindeer.
723
00:39:58,333 --> 00:40:00,417
Right. Well, what?
Actually, no. Sorry.
724
00:40:00,542 --> 00:40:02,375
We're using tomatoes,
but actually
725
00:40:02,500 --> 00:40:04,208
reindeer prefer carrots.
726
00:40:04,208 --> 00:40:05,667
Why?
727
00:40:05,792 --> 00:40:08,542
- We don't know.
- Kids, lunch.
728
00:40:08,542 --> 00:40:10,583
Hi, nana.
We're learning about Santa.
729
00:40:10,709 --> 00:40:13,125
He is awesome.
730
00:40:14,458 --> 00:40:15,542
Lou?
731
00:40:17,458 --> 00:40:19,875
Did you tell my children
that a man in a red suit
732
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,458
was going to break into
our house and reverse-rob us?
733
00:40:22,583 --> 00:40:24,041
I didn't say it
exactly like that.
734
00:40:24,166 --> 00:40:25,583
And that this man has spies
735
00:40:25,709 --> 00:40:27,417
that watch them
all year round to see
736
00:40:27,542 --> 00:40:30,583
if they're being
naughty or nice? Erin, naughty?
737
00:40:30,583 --> 00:40:32,250
So when you say it,
it doesn't sound great.
738
00:40:32,375 --> 00:40:33,750
And if they're bad,
he'll give them
739
00:40:33,750 --> 00:40:35,250
pantyhose stuffed with rocks?
740
00:40:35,250 --> 00:40:36,583
Coal.
It's coal in their stockings.
741
00:40:36,583 --> 00:40:37,917
But if they're good,
he'll give them
742
00:40:38,041 --> 00:40:39,417
anything they want. Anything.
743
00:40:39,542 --> 00:40:41,417
- Erin, they're kids.
- Exactly.
744
00:40:41,417 --> 00:40:43,750
- They deserve a little magic.
- Look.
745
00:40:43,750 --> 00:40:46,250
I love that you involve the kids
in your projects.
746
00:40:46,375 --> 00:40:49,166
And I don't know what kind of
weirdo performance art this is,
747
00:40:49,291 --> 00:40:52,417
but you've gotta run this stuff
by me first, okay?
748
00:40:52,542 --> 00:40:55,542
Because it's all fun and games
to play the cool aunt.
749
00:40:55,667 --> 00:40:57,291
But you're not the one
they'll be crying to when
750
00:40:57,417 --> 00:40:59,750
there's no dragon
that fits in my pocket.
751
00:40:59,875 --> 00:41:01,291
But also, he can be invisible
752
00:41:01,417 --> 00:41:04,583
and breathes candy
instead of fire.
753
00:41:04,709 --> 00:41:06,625
- I will talk to them.
- Thank you.
754
00:41:06,750 --> 00:41:09,458
Santa can't create mythical
creatures from scratch.
755
00:41:09,458 --> 00:41:11,208
Everyone knows that.
756
00:41:18,500 --> 00:41:20,125
Welcome back to KQDS,
757
00:41:20,125 --> 00:41:23,917
Duluth's finest station
for all your favorite games.
758
00:41:24,041 --> 00:41:25,750
It's cold
and it's snowy out there,
759
00:41:25,875 --> 00:41:27,417
so cuddle up to a fire
and listen
760
00:41:27,417 --> 00:41:31,291
to the sweet, sultry voice
of Harmony Grace.
761
00:41:34,375 --> 00:41:36,125
Hi.
762
00:41:36,250 --> 00:41:39,792
I'm Erin Smithson,
winner of Operation Wish.
763
00:41:39,917 --> 00:41:43,125
Okay. Congratulations.
764
00:41:43,125 --> 00:41:44,583
Mm. Thank you. Listen.
765
00:41:44,709 --> 00:41:46,333
Was it nice
having a little bit of a break
766
00:41:46,333 --> 00:41:49,000
from all of the
fa-la-la-la-la-ing? Yes, it was.
767
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:52,333
But you guys are messing with
my friends and with my family.
768
00:41:52,458 --> 00:41:54,834
Yeah, I'm just the intern
for the late show.
769
00:41:54,959 --> 00:41:57,000
Right. I get it.
You're just doing your job.
770
00:41:57,125 --> 00:42:00,166
You know, cog in the wheel.
But this has gone way too far.
771
00:42:00,166 --> 00:42:02,000
And I need you
to call off the contest.
772
00:42:02,125 --> 00:42:05,959
- I don't know what that is.
- Operation Wish!
773
00:42:06,083 --> 00:42:08,500
One person, three wishes.
One Merry Christmas.
774
00:42:08,625 --> 00:42:10,917
Okay, there's no one named
Merry Christmas here.
775
00:42:11,041 --> 00:42:13,375
It's a contest.
This station's contest.
776
00:42:13,500 --> 00:42:15,166
- Okay, don't yell.
- I am not...
777
00:42:15,291 --> 00:42:17,458
- I'm not, I'm not yelling.
- Wow.
778
00:42:17,583 --> 00:42:20,917
It's cool. It's totally cool.
Just bring back Christmas.
779
00:42:21,041 --> 00:42:22,667
- Yeah.
- Hey, uh, Donna.
780
00:42:22,792 --> 00:42:27,208
There's someone here saying that
we kidnapped a Merry Christmas?
781
00:42:27,333 --> 00:42:29,125
Hey, Donna, I'm not leaving
until you call off the wish.
782
00:42:29,250 --> 00:42:31,667
- We didn't give you any wishes.
- Oh, yeah? Well, then who did?
783
00:42:31,792 --> 00:42:33,875
- Who did?
- Oh, if you don't leave...
784
00:42:33,875 --> 00:42:35,709
We're gonna have to call
security for trespassing.
785
00:42:35,709 --> 00:42:37,834
Trespassing?
I am not trespassing.
786
00:42:37,834 --> 00:42:42,208
You, sir, are the one who is
trespassing on people's minds!
787
00:42:42,208 --> 00:42:47,041
You erased Christmas. They
should throw you all in jail.
788
00:42:55,250 --> 00:42:57,875
Erin Smithson,
your lawyer's here.
789
00:42:57,875 --> 00:42:59,542
You're free to go.
790
00:43:15,291 --> 00:43:16,917
So how was your night?
791
00:43:19,709 --> 00:43:21,041
Well, the radio station's
not gonna
792
00:43:21,041 --> 00:43:22,709
press charges, so no harm done.
793
00:43:22,709 --> 00:43:24,917
Yeah, except for the part
where everyone in my life
794
00:43:25,041 --> 00:43:26,583
thinks I'm Looney Tunes.
795
00:43:26,583 --> 00:43:29,166
Including me, including you.
796
00:43:29,291 --> 00:43:30,750
Yeah, yeah, I was thinking
about changing my name,
797
00:43:30,875 --> 00:43:32,250
growing a mustache
and fleeing north.
798
00:43:32,375 --> 00:43:34,083
But then I remembered
that you still have
799
00:43:34,208 --> 00:43:36,542
a very delicate
family heirloom of mine.
800
00:43:36,667 --> 00:43:39,959
- Yeah? Oh, the film.
- Yeah.
801
00:43:40,083 --> 00:43:41,750
Sam, if you take me
to the studio,
802
00:43:41,750 --> 00:43:43,583
I will develop it for you
right now.
803
00:43:43,583 --> 00:43:46,041
- E-Erin, I was joking.
- No, seriously, please.
804
00:43:46,166 --> 00:43:48,291
After all you've done,
it is the very least I can do.
805
00:43:48,291 --> 00:43:49,625
Let's go.
806
00:43:50,834 --> 00:43:52,917
Okay.
807
00:43:53,041 --> 00:43:55,917
- Wait, you'd flee north?
- Yeah, yeah.
808
00:43:56,041 --> 00:43:58,250
The beaches are south.
You go south to vacation.
809
00:43:58,375 --> 00:44:01,750
You go north to be incognito.
Everybody knows that.
810
00:44:13,875 --> 00:44:16,125
I can't tell if we're fitting in
or standing out.
811
00:44:16,250 --> 00:44:17,959
Yeah, me neither.
812
00:44:17,959 --> 00:44:20,333
From now on
you're doing reindeer duty.
813
00:44:20,458 --> 00:44:24,959
I'm not going near Comet again.
He knows what he did.
814
00:44:24,959 --> 00:44:27,291
Could we have
a manager on register three?
815
00:44:27,291 --> 00:44:30,500
- Register three.
- Still haven't found her yet?
816
00:44:30,625 --> 00:44:32,583
Have you seen this elf
sit on a shelf?
817
00:44:32,709 --> 00:44:34,417
Do I look like I talk to birds?
818
00:44:34,542 --> 00:44:36,667
No, okay? I don't do
Christmas spy work.
819
00:44:36,667 --> 00:44:38,333
You find her,
and I'll make a plan.
820
00:44:38,458 --> 00:44:39,625
You couldn't plan your way out
821
00:44:39,750 --> 00:44:40,959
of a half-eaten
gingerbread house.
822
00:44:40,959 --> 00:44:42,959
- Oh, God.
- And-and what makes you think...
823
00:44:43,083 --> 00:44:45,834
- That you're in charge?
- Ho-ho-ho!
824
00:44:45,834 --> 00:44:49,333
These colors,
so vivid in the daytime.
825
00:44:51,083 --> 00:44:53,041
Technically,
that guy's in charge.
826
00:44:53,166 --> 00:44:55,625
Good day. Love that hair.
827
00:44:55,625 --> 00:44:58,625
- Beautiful! Ho-ho-ho...
- Let's look at the facts.
828
00:44:58,750 --> 00:45:00,959
She had a bad breakup
last Christmas.
829
00:45:00,959 --> 00:45:02,917
She goes full humbug this year.
830
00:45:03,041 --> 00:45:05,291
She wishes
her ex-boyfriend back.
831
00:45:05,417 --> 00:45:08,000
And she goes over like
a hot toddy on the 4th of July.
832
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,750
Wrong solution,
but may be the right problem.
833
00:45:10,875 --> 00:45:13,000
See, what puts the win
in winter?
834
00:45:13,125 --> 00:45:15,875
The sleigh and sleigh bells,
the-the mas in Christmas.
835
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,875
Oh, oh, processed sugar.
836
00:45:18,875 --> 00:45:21,500
No! Romance!
837
00:45:21,625 --> 00:45:24,208
Look, she's not down
on Christmas because of love.
838
00:45:24,333 --> 00:45:28,375
She feels disconnected from
the true meaning of Christmas.
839
00:45:28,375 --> 00:45:31,875
Ah-ha, the joy of community.
The sense of true presence.
840
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,000
Oh, so close, big guy.
841
00:45:34,125 --> 00:45:35,667
No, I was thinking
the other kind of presents.
842
00:45:35,792 --> 00:45:38,208
That sweet jingle-jangle
of shiny metal stuff.
843
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:42,458
Spectacle! Magic! Production!
844
00:45:47,667 --> 00:45:49,250
Hey, sorry. Ha.
845
00:45:50,625 --> 00:45:52,250
All right,
I have some questions.
846
00:45:52,375 --> 00:45:55,792
- Hm.
- So you wished away Christmas.
847
00:45:55,917 --> 00:45:59,083
And within a day, against the
brilliant advice of your lawyer,
848
00:45:59,208 --> 00:46:01,625
you risked jail
to bring it back.
849
00:46:01,750 --> 00:46:04,208
Like, the wish was impulsive
and selfish.
850
00:46:04,208 --> 00:46:05,417
I'm gonna reverse it.
851
00:46:05,417 --> 00:46:07,959
The wish was a victimless crime.
852
00:46:08,083 --> 00:46:11,417
- Nobody remembers it.
- But, Sam, I remember.
853
00:46:11,542 --> 00:46:13,250
I remember, Jonah was so small,
854
00:46:13,375 --> 00:46:16,417
I'm the one who taught him
to hang ornaments on the tree.
855
00:46:16,542 --> 00:46:19,250
The sparkly indoor tree
with lights on it.
856
00:46:19,250 --> 00:46:22,291
Yes, and Olivia, I remember
the way her face would light up
857
00:46:22,417 --> 00:46:24,083
when you got her
what she wanted for Christmas.
858
00:46:24,083 --> 00:46:25,709
And the way they were
always surprised
859
00:46:25,834 --> 00:46:27,917
to find an orange
in the toe of their stocking.
860
00:46:28,041 --> 00:46:31,417
Which you said was fairly
common. Food in footwear.
861
00:46:31,542 --> 00:46:33,166
- Yes, yes, it was.
- Hm.
862
00:46:33,291 --> 00:46:36,291
It will be again, it has to be,
863
00:46:36,291 --> 00:46:38,667
because I cannot,
in good conscience,
864
00:46:38,792 --> 00:46:42,834
deprive my niece and nephew
of something so magical.
865
00:46:45,875 --> 00:46:47,625
Oh, sounds really nice.
866
00:46:47,625 --> 00:46:49,375
Wish my family
had something like that.
867
00:46:49,500 --> 00:46:52,208
- Hm. Maybe they did.
- No. No, no.
868
00:46:52,333 --> 00:46:54,291
They were divorced.
They worked a lot.
869
00:46:54,291 --> 00:46:56,500
Even in your magical reality,
they wouldn't have been
870
00:46:56,625 --> 00:47:00,083
the sit-by-the-sparkly-
indoor-tree type.
871
00:47:00,083 --> 00:47:01,625
But they...
872
00:47:02,875 --> 00:47:04,291
they were.
873
00:47:04,291 --> 00:47:05,750
You keep
telling yourself that.
874
00:47:05,875 --> 00:47:08,000
I'm not telling you. I'm...
875
00:47:10,750 --> 00:47:14,208
I'm showing you.
876
00:47:14,333 --> 00:47:16,125
- Ah, you're messing with me.
- I'm not, Sam.
877
00:47:16,291 --> 00:47:18,291
I didn't do anything. I swear!
878
00:47:19,792 --> 00:47:21,792
O-okay,
maybe it was my birthday.
879
00:47:21,792 --> 00:47:25,041
Oh, Sam, that's a Christmas
tree. T-there's ornaments on it.
880
00:47:25,166 --> 00:47:27,250
There's no birthday tree.
Come on.
881
00:47:28,583 --> 00:47:30,917
Is it just me or...
882
00:47:31,041 --> 00:47:32,959
These chemicals, they're, uh,
make you...
883
00:47:33,083 --> 00:47:35,458
Oh, dear. Yeah, don't breathe
that. That's bad for you.
884
00:47:35,583 --> 00:47:37,834
Okay. Okay, hold on, that way.
885
00:47:37,959 --> 00:47:39,125
- This way? Okay.
- That... Come on. Yeah.
886
00:47:39,250 --> 00:47:40,709
- You got it.
- All right.
887
00:47:43,417 --> 00:47:45,500
Okay, clearly,
888
00:47:45,500 --> 00:47:48,959
whoever's behind
this supposed wish thing
889
00:47:49,083 --> 00:47:50,375
is not at the radio station.
890
00:47:50,500 --> 00:47:52,333
- No. I don't know.
- So who's doing this?
891
00:47:52,333 --> 00:47:54,500
I have no idea what is going on.
892
00:47:54,500 --> 00:47:57,625
Okay, okay. Let's just start
with what we know.
893
00:47:57,750 --> 00:47:59,875
You've been emailing your wish
to somebody.
894
00:47:59,875 --> 00:48:02,125
Let's send them
a cease and desist.
895
00:48:02,250 --> 00:48:05,041
- Good idea.
- Second question.
896
00:48:05,041 --> 00:48:08,208
Your brother-in-law's a lawyer.
So why'd you call me?
897
00:48:08,333 --> 00:48:09,834
Because you're a better lawyer.
898
00:48:09,959 --> 00:48:11,917
Flattery will get you
everywhere.
899
00:48:12,041 --> 00:48:14,792
Seriously, why me?
900
00:48:14,917 --> 00:48:16,875
Look, it's clear
that neither you or Taylor
901
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:18,458
remember or believe in Christmas
at all.
902
00:48:18,583 --> 00:48:20,208
But you, Sam,
903
00:48:20,333 --> 00:48:23,000
you were willing
to at least make a case for it.
904
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:26,417
It's becoming increasingly clear
that no one will believe me.
905
00:48:26,542 --> 00:48:29,875
But there is a chance
that they will believe you.
906
00:48:31,291 --> 00:48:32,875
We need evidence, Erin.
907
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,125
Belief follows evidence.
908
00:48:36,750 --> 00:48:38,333
We show 'em the pictures!
909
00:48:38,458 --> 00:48:39,333
Uh, th...
910
00:48:39,458 --> 00:48:41,083
The-the pictures don't mean
911
00:48:41,208 --> 00:48:43,041
anything to anyone
except for me.
912
00:48:44,834 --> 00:48:46,250
You said these traditions
are fun.
913
00:48:46,250 --> 00:48:48,709
- Right?
- People think so.
914
00:48:48,834 --> 00:48:50,917
Let's give the people
what they don't know they want.
915
00:48:50,917 --> 00:48:52,375
No, I mean, I'm not capable of
916
00:48:52,375 --> 00:48:54,792
pulling off
some mass Christmas event.
917
00:48:54,917 --> 00:48:57,083
You don't have to.
We start small.
918
00:48:57,083 --> 00:48:58,875
You said
Christmas is all about family.
919
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:01,709
Let's get your parents
to do the traditions with us.
920
00:49:01,834 --> 00:49:03,417
It might jog their memory.
921
00:49:05,458 --> 00:49:08,875
All I heard you say was that
you wanna meet my parents, so...
922
00:49:12,208 --> 00:49:14,083
Kidding.
923
00:49:14,208 --> 00:49:16,125
Your face.
924
00:49:16,250 --> 00:49:19,500
Think of it
as not just photography,
925
00:49:19,625 --> 00:49:21,625
but as performance art.
926
00:49:21,750 --> 00:49:25,083
As an exploration
of ancient forgotten holidays
927
00:49:25,083 --> 00:49:27,458
as recreated by the...
928
00:49:27,458 --> 00:49:29,792
Modern families and communities.
929
00:49:29,917 --> 00:49:31,000
Yeah.
930
00:49:31,125 --> 00:49:33,792
Well, I have to
say, I'm relieved.
931
00:49:33,917 --> 00:49:35,625
Wait, you, you are?
932
00:49:35,625 --> 00:49:37,583
Ah, your father and I
were so worried about you
933
00:49:37,709 --> 00:49:39,625
the other day.
You were acting so strange.
934
00:49:39,750 --> 00:49:42,625
- Oh, right.
- Well, that's just part of it.
935
00:49:42,750 --> 00:49:44,792
- Really committing to the act.
- Right.
936
00:49:44,792 --> 00:49:46,792
So we think that there are
strength in numbers.
937
00:49:46,792 --> 00:49:50,041
Oh, I love it, you know
that we will support your work
938
00:49:50,166 --> 00:49:52,792
in any way we can always.
So what can we do?
939
00:49:52,917 --> 00:49:55,959
Now, I'm not much of an actor,
but--
940
00:49:56,083 --> 00:49:58,417
- Oh, no acting. No way.
- No?
941
00:49:58,542 --> 00:50:01,125
But would you be willing
to take my credit card
942
00:50:01,125 --> 00:50:04,000
and go get these things
from the craft store
943
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:07,333
and the hardware store,
and let me decorate your house?
944
00:50:07,333 --> 00:50:09,667
So you want your mother and I
945
00:50:09,792 --> 00:50:12,417
to go to our two favorite places
946
00:50:12,542 --> 00:50:14,000
and spend your money?
947
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:16,000
Mm-hmm.
948
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:17,166
- Let's go.
- Oh!
949
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:21,417
Hey, what are you two
going to do?
950
00:50:25,917 --> 00:50:27,125
Let's go over this again.
951
00:50:27,125 --> 00:50:29,500
All right,
we are chopping down a tree.
952
00:50:29,500 --> 00:50:31,000
- Chopping it down.
- Chopping it down.
953
00:50:31,125 --> 00:50:33,500
And not digging it up
for some reason.
954
00:50:33,625 --> 00:50:35,500
Nope, because remember,
we are not replanting it.
955
00:50:35,625 --> 00:50:37,291
- It's going in the house.
- Right, right.
956
00:50:37,417 --> 00:50:39,291
Because it is going
in the house.
957
00:50:39,417 --> 00:50:40,834
Mm-hmm.
958
00:50:40,959 --> 00:50:43,000
And we're okay with the fact
that even in water,
959
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:45,542
it will die in three weeks tops.
960
00:50:45,667 --> 00:50:47,125
We accept this.
961
00:50:47,250 --> 00:50:49,041
Okay, so afterwards we mulch it
962
00:50:49,166 --> 00:50:51,208
or is there
some post-Christmas tradition
963
00:50:51,333 --> 00:50:53,625
of a fire pit and burning
of grievances or something?
964
00:50:53,750 --> 00:50:55,458
Hm, nope. We cut it down.
965
00:50:55,583 --> 00:50:57,041
We bring it inside,
we put lights on it,
966
00:50:57,041 --> 00:50:58,625
we stare at it
for about three weeks,
967
00:50:58,750 --> 00:51:00,041
and then we throw it
on the curb.
968
00:51:00,166 --> 00:51:01,875
- On the curb?
- On the curb.
969
00:51:01,875 --> 00:51:03,375
Um, why do we do this again?
970
00:51:03,500 --> 00:51:04,542
Because it's festive.
971
00:51:04,542 --> 00:51:06,709
- Festive.
- Festive.
972
00:51:06,834 --> 00:51:10,709
This guy's got curb
written all over him.
973
00:51:10,709 --> 00:51:12,500
- There we go.
- All right.
974
00:51:12,625 --> 00:51:15,208
All right, Charlie Brown.
975
00:51:19,166 --> 00:51:20,875
Christmas!
976
00:51:24,750 --> 00:51:27,875
So at the stroke of midnight,
we have you dressed
977
00:51:27,875 --> 00:51:30,333
as the Ghost Of Christmas Past,
to remind her--
978
00:51:30,458 --> 00:51:32,834
Okay, she is literally
the only person
979
00:51:32,959 --> 00:51:35,417
on Planet Earth who knows who
Scrooge is, you Snickerdoodle.
980
00:51:35,417 --> 00:51:38,750
Well, what if
she's already out there
981
00:51:38,750 --> 00:51:40,917
trying to take back her wish?
982
00:51:40,917 --> 00:51:43,500
What, what if she just needs
our help?
983
00:51:43,625 --> 00:51:45,083
Sure, big fella. That...
984
00:51:46,041 --> 00:51:48,083
That's an idea.
985
00:51:48,208 --> 00:51:52,417
Do we put food on trees
to attract birds and squirrels?
986
00:51:52,542 --> 00:51:54,834
- Are there Christmas squirrels?
- Uh, no, mom.
987
00:51:54,959 --> 00:51:56,750
There are no
Christmas squirrels.
988
00:51:56,750 --> 00:52:00,083
There are a shocking number
of birds, though.
989
00:52:00,208 --> 00:52:01,917
Huh, just seems like
this whole holiday
990
00:52:01,917 --> 00:52:04,083
is about
bringing the outdoors inside.
991
00:52:04,083 --> 00:52:06,917
No, it's a holiday
about food in weird places.
992
00:52:06,917 --> 00:52:09,250
Food on the tree.
993
00:52:09,375 --> 00:52:10,792
Food in pantyhose.
994
00:52:10,917 --> 00:52:13,542
- Is that sanitary?
- It's not pantyhose, dad.
995
00:52:13,667 --> 00:52:17,125
- It's, it's stockings.
- I told you she meant socks!
996
00:52:17,250 --> 00:52:18,750
- Well, we got you both, so...
- Okay.
997
00:52:18,875 --> 00:52:21,208
- Thank you. Um, what, uh...
- Mm-hmm.
998
00:52:21,333 --> 00:52:23,750
Oh, they didn't have
anything called twinkle lights,
999
00:52:23,875 --> 00:52:26,959
but they had these little
fantastic things. Huh?
1000
00:52:26,959 --> 00:52:29,083
And I bought you a strobe light.
1001
00:52:29,208 --> 00:52:30,500
- Oh...
- Don't worry, sweetie.
1002
00:52:30,625 --> 00:52:31,917
- I know what you meant.
- Okay.
1003
00:52:32,041 --> 00:52:33,291
And there's your garlands.
1004
00:52:33,417 --> 00:52:35,417
Yeah? You want it? Right there.
1005
00:52:35,542 --> 00:52:38,041
Oh, and the piece de resistance.
1006
00:52:38,166 --> 00:52:39,750
- Oh, ha-ha.
- Huh?
1007
00:52:45,041 --> 00:52:48,125
And... Ha-ha-ha...
1008
00:52:48,125 --> 00:52:50,792
- Uh?
- It says right here.
1009
00:52:50,792 --> 00:52:53,291
Ornaments,
like brightly-colored balls.
1010
00:52:53,291 --> 00:52:54,834
You know, the thing
I find most interesting
1011
00:52:54,959 --> 00:52:58,333
about this project is,
since nobody really knows
1012
00:52:58,333 --> 00:53:02,500
what the Christmas was like,
there's no basis of comparison.
1013
00:53:02,625 --> 00:53:05,625
Therefore, we have a lot of room
to be creative.
1014
00:53:05,625 --> 00:53:09,000
Now, Sam, I love that attitude.
1015
00:53:10,792 --> 00:53:12,667
Okay. Uh...
1016
00:53:12,792 --> 00:53:15,333
Guys, I kinda asked
for a reindeer.
1017
00:53:15,458 --> 00:53:19,834
There's no such thing
as a Christmas fox.
1018
00:53:19,834 --> 00:53:22,000
Till now, right?
1019
00:53:45,792 --> 00:53:47,709
What in the world!
1020
00:53:47,709 --> 00:53:50,166
Mom, she did it.
1021
00:53:50,291 --> 00:53:53,959
- Is this Christmas?
- This is our Christmas.
1022
00:53:54,083 --> 00:53:55,875
What do you think, you guys?
Check it out.
1023
00:53:55,875 --> 00:53:58,333
Come on. Christmas.
1024
00:53:58,458 --> 00:54:01,542
♪ Work senora
work it all the time ♪
1025
00:54:01,542 --> 00:54:03,542
- Wow. Tennis ball.
- Wow.
1026
00:54:03,667 --> 00:54:05,750
Yeah. I guess so.
1027
00:54:05,875 --> 00:54:07,375
- It's not bad.
- It's not good.
1028
00:54:07,500 --> 00:54:09,834
But it's not bad.
1029
00:54:09,834 --> 00:54:12,208

♪ Jump in the line

1034
00:54:20,750 --> 00:54:23,041
So everything else
was erased, but how were
1035
00:54:23,041 --> 00:54:24,750
the photos of your family
have even made up here?
1036
00:54:24,875 --> 00:54:26,041
It doesn't make any sense.
1037
00:54:26,166 --> 00:54:27,166
Maybe who's ever doing this
1038
00:54:27,291 --> 00:54:28,458
planted it as a clue.
1039
00:54:28,583 --> 00:54:30,959
Or maybe you're starting
to believe.
1040
00:54:31,792 --> 00:54:33,000
Maybe.
1041
00:54:38,041 --> 00:54:42,208
So she wished Christmas away
and now she's decorating?
1042
00:54:42,333 --> 00:54:44,750
Well, I wouldn't call this
decorating, but...
1043
00:54:44,750 --> 00:54:47,500
- And Sam's here, and she seems--
- Oh, I'll say it.
1044
00:54:47,625 --> 00:54:50,083
She's glowing like
Rudolph's schnoz in a hailstorm.
1045
00:54:50,083 --> 00:54:51,417
It's so cute!
1046
00:54:51,542 --> 00:54:53,542
Okay, new plan.
We're gonna do both plans.
1047
00:54:53,667 --> 00:54:55,458
I'll add a little
je ne se kwassail
1048
00:54:55,583 --> 00:54:56,917
to her attempt
to bring back Christmas--
1049
00:54:56,917 --> 00:54:58,959
And I'll, with the,
with the mistletoe
1050
00:54:59,083 --> 00:55:00,625
and-and-and put the merry at...
1051
00:55:00,750 --> 00:55:02,333
I've run out of Christmas puns.
1052
00:55:02,458 --> 00:55:04,583
I'll help them fall in love.
Oh, yes.
1053
00:55:04,583 --> 00:55:07,375
- Yeah. Okay.
- So we divide and conquer.
1054
00:55:07,500 --> 00:55:09,208
- Conquer! Okay.
- Yeah.
1055
00:55:10,125 --> 00:55:11,625
Yes. No, yeah.

People really ate
this much sugar?
1060
00:55:31,041 --> 00:55:32,542
Yes, the ancient peoples
who celebrated
1061
00:55:32,667 --> 00:55:34,625
this holiday
were a sugar-loving culture.
1062
00:55:34,750 --> 00:55:37,458
Funniest thing.
1063
00:55:37,583 --> 00:55:39,500
That's the third person
to ask about the lights.
1064
00:55:39,625 --> 00:55:42,000
Oh. Yeah, that is great news.
1065
00:55:42,125 --> 00:55:43,417
As long as you're happy,
I'm happy.
1066
00:55:43,542 --> 00:55:44,750
Sam.
1067
00:55:44,875 --> 00:55:46,083
Could I, uh, get help with
1068
00:55:46,208 --> 00:55:48,583
something in the kitchen?
1069
00:55:48,709 --> 00:55:51,959
I don't wanna eat this
because it looks so pretty.
1070
00:55:52,083 --> 00:55:54,583
Yeah. Marshmallows
are not good for arms.
1071
00:55:57,083 --> 00:56:00,667
Did you hear my dad? People
are asking about the lights.
1072
00:56:00,667 --> 00:56:02,959
I don't know why, but I just
think that this is working.
1073
00:56:03,083 --> 00:56:05,500
Yeah. I can't stop thinking
about the photos.
1074
00:56:05,625 --> 00:56:07,000
You were swirling them around
and I said,
1075
00:56:07,125 --> 00:56:08,667
I wish that I had
something like that,
1076
00:56:08,792 --> 00:56:11,625
and there it was.
1077
00:56:11,750 --> 00:56:14,375
That means that you're right
about Christmas existing,
1078
00:56:14,500 --> 00:56:16,291
and I don't even wanna think
1079
00:56:16,291 --> 00:56:18,000
about the metaphysical
implications of--
1080
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:21,667
Just breathe. Okay? Look.
1081
00:56:21,792 --> 00:56:25,542
All that matters is that we are
making people really happy.
1082
00:56:25,667 --> 00:56:28,667
And that is tough to do
in subzero temperatures.
1083
00:56:29,458 --> 00:56:31,000
You're right.
1084
00:56:31,125 --> 00:56:33,375
I can't think of anything
I'd rather be doing.
1085
00:56:38,625 --> 00:56:40,834
I should probably...
1086
00:56:40,959 --> 00:56:43,667
- Yeah.
- Yeah. Right. Um...
1087
00:56:44,667 --> 00:56:45,917
Sprinkles.
1088
00:56:48,417 --> 00:56:50,875
A tiny dance arena. Oh.
1089
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:54,166
She was this ballerina doll
that spun.
1090
00:56:54,291 --> 00:56:56,667
Oh, Lou?
1091
00:56:56,792 --> 00:57:00,500
Roy Roger's action figure,
with the horse, of course.
1092
00:57:00,625 --> 00:57:02,250
- Of course.
- Erin?
1093
00:57:02,250 --> 00:57:05,166
I wanted, uh, that talking bear.
What was his...
1094
00:57:05,291 --> 00:57:06,834
Uh, no, but I couldn't get it
because Maria and I
1095
00:57:06,959 --> 00:57:08,083
shared a room. Remember?
1096
00:57:08,208 --> 00:57:09,250
Oh, so it could talk to me
1097
00:57:09,250 --> 00:57:11,083
in the night? Uh, no, thanks.
1098
00:57:11,208 --> 00:57:12,959
Dashin' your
sister's dreams like that?
1099
00:57:13,083 --> 00:57:15,041
Hot Wheels for me. All day.
1100
00:57:15,166 --> 00:57:17,542
That tracks.
Sam, what about you?
1101
00:57:17,667 --> 00:57:19,375
Oh, no, no, I just want
another sugar cookie
1102
00:57:19,500 --> 00:57:21,417
and to hear more
about this terrifying AI bear.
1103
00:57:21,417 --> 00:57:24,208
He was cute.
Why are you deflecting?
1104
00:57:24,333 --> 00:57:27,750
Okay, uh, when I was
Jonah and Olivia's age,
1105
00:57:27,875 --> 00:57:30,166
I would've asked for this.
1106
00:57:31,709 --> 00:57:33,250
Aww...
1107
00:57:33,375 --> 00:57:35,333
You get all the cookies
for that answer.
1108
00:57:35,458 --> 00:57:36,875
- All, all of them.
- Thank you.
1109
00:57:36,875 --> 00:57:39,250
He's buttering you up.
1110
00:57:39,375 --> 00:57:40,917
Careful, I think
this is part of Taylor's
1111
00:57:40,917 --> 00:57:42,625
grand scheme to make you stay.
1112
00:57:42,625 --> 00:57:45,417
Oh, right, because
this was all Taylor's idea.
1113
00:58:05,875 --> 00:58:07,166
What is it?
1114
00:58:09,083 --> 00:58:11,291
Excuse me, sir. Can I help you?
1115
00:58:11,417 --> 00:58:13,959
That's so kind of you.
1116
00:58:14,083 --> 00:58:16,125
But I wouldn't dream
of imposing.
1117
00:58:16,125 --> 00:58:18,291
Sir, you can't make
your own drink.
1118
00:58:18,417 --> 00:58:22,250
- It's a health code violation.
- Oh, my apologies.
1119
00:58:22,250 --> 00:58:25,166
Almost...
1120
00:58:25,291 --> 00:58:27,625
- Almost finished.
- I'm-I'm sorry.
1121
00:58:27,750 --> 00:58:30,291
You're gonna pay for that, right?
1122
00:58:30,417 --> 00:58:33,333
Are people punished for
consuming sweets in this town?
1123
00:58:33,458 --> 00:58:36,834
- Maybe I can help?
- Oh, Mayor Hara.
1124
00:58:36,959 --> 00:58:38,417
- Thank you.
- Uh, yeah.
1125
00:58:38,542 --> 00:58:40,333
Hello, Mr., uh...
1126
00:58:40,458 --> 00:58:41,625
- Nick.
- Nick!
1127
00:58:41,750 --> 00:58:43,458
- Mm-hmm.
- What brings you to Duluth?
1128
00:58:43,583 --> 00:58:45,166
Well, actually,
I-I'm on vacation
1129
00:58:45,291 --> 00:58:47,959
first time in, uh, centuries.
1130
00:58:48,083 --> 00:58:49,583
Oh, it feels like that
sometimes, doesn't it?
1131
00:58:49,709 --> 00:58:51,500
Wait, I'm sorry.
1132
00:58:51,625 --> 00:58:56,250
Did you say you chose Duluth
for a vacation in December?
1133
00:58:56,375 --> 00:58:59,208
- Why, certainly.
- Do you mind if I ask why?
1134
00:58:59,333 --> 00:59:01,291
We are always looking
for new ways
1135
00:59:01,417 --> 00:59:03,542
to attract more people
to our beautiful city.
1136
00:59:03,667 --> 00:59:08,041
Well, it's always nice
to soak up the warm weather.
1137
00:59:08,166 --> 00:59:10,875
Plus, it's such a creative town.
1138
00:59:10,875 --> 00:59:14,542
I just passed this house
that was decorated for a,
1139
00:59:14,542 --> 00:59:17,875
I believe it's called Christmas.
1140
00:59:17,875 --> 00:59:20,625
Uh, light display,
uh, the ribbons...
1141
00:59:20,750 --> 00:59:23,125
It was delightful.
1142
00:59:23,250 --> 00:59:25,917
They covered their house
in lights? Why?
1143
00:59:26,041 --> 00:59:29,375
Well, I'm no expert,
but it's my understanding
1144
00:59:29,500 --> 00:59:31,542
that it's to spread
a little light in the world
1145
00:59:31,667 --> 00:59:34,166
at its darkest time of the year.
1146
00:59:34,291 --> 00:59:36,750
Huh. That's...
1147
00:59:38,417 --> 00:59:40,542
You know,
we could use some of that. Yeah.
1148
00:59:40,542 --> 00:59:42,542
I wanna run this
by the city council.
1149
00:59:42,542 --> 00:59:45,542
- Do you know who made it?
- Why, yes.
1150
00:59:46,625 --> 00:59:48,083
Yes, I do.
1151
00:59:50,500 --> 00:59:51,417
Mm.
1152
00:59:54,583 --> 00:59:58,000
It's like if someone
left a gingerbread house
1153
00:59:58,125 --> 00:59:59,417
in a hot car.
1154
01:00:01,834 --> 01:00:04,125
Phew! Ha.
1155
01:00:04,250 --> 01:00:05,917
I mean,
you don't understand. I...
1156
01:00:06,041 --> 01:00:09,333
I can barely pull off one house,
let alone a citywide event.
1157
01:00:09,458 --> 01:00:11,458
Oh, but you wouldn't be
doing it alone.
1158
01:00:11,583 --> 01:00:13,750
You provide the vision
and we'll put together
1159
01:00:13,875 --> 01:00:17,083
a committee of volunteers
to make it come to life.
1160
01:00:17,083 --> 01:00:18,500
- Uh, sure.
- Please.
1161
01:00:18,625 --> 01:00:21,250
I think
people could really use this.
1162
01:00:21,250 --> 01:00:23,542
Ah. This isn't what
it normally is, though.
1163
01:00:23,667 --> 01:00:25,333
- It's much more grand. It's--
- Oh!
1164
01:00:25,458 --> 01:00:27,250
Wow!
1165
01:00:27,250 --> 01:00:29,959
You-you really undersold this.
1166
01:00:29,959 --> 01:00:31,625
How did you do this?
1167
01:00:46,709 --> 01:00:48,750
How did I do this?
1168
01:00:56,333 --> 01:01:00,208
Uh, hi, can I help you?
1169
01:01:00,333 --> 01:01:02,875
Oh, heh-heh.
Hey there, neighbor.
1170
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:05,667
I couldn't help admiring
your decorations.
1171
01:01:05,792 --> 01:01:07,959
Big crafter here. Huge.
1172
01:01:08,083 --> 01:01:09,792
Would love to do something
like this to my place.
1173
01:01:09,792 --> 01:01:11,959
What's the occasion?
1174
01:01:12,083 --> 01:01:14,291
Well, uh, hm, I'm an artist
1175
01:01:14,417 --> 01:01:16,500
and I'm trying to resurrect
1176
01:01:16,625 --> 01:01:18,625
an old forgotten holiday
called Christmas.
1177
01:01:18,750 --> 01:01:20,625
- Oh, wow. Christmas!
- Yeah.
1178
01:01:20,750 --> 01:01:22,375
Sounds pretty incredible
if you ask me.
1179
01:01:22,500 --> 01:01:24,333
- It's really something.
- Okay.
1180
01:01:24,333 --> 01:01:26,500
Well, do you have any more
fun details you could share wi--
1181
01:01:26,625 --> 01:01:31,333
I'm wondering if there is some
big, uh, communal tradition.
1182
01:01:31,458 --> 01:01:34,458
Uh, you know, there was
a tradition where the villagers
1183
01:01:34,583 --> 01:01:37,458
would gather around
a very large pine tree
1184
01:01:37,583 --> 01:01:40,000
and they would sing songs
about, um,
1185
01:01:40,125 --> 01:01:44,166
well, mostly food and-and snow,
and just engage in revelry
1186
01:01:44,291 --> 01:01:46,667
until the, the lights
of the tree would come on.
1187
01:01:46,792 --> 01:01:49,291
- Oh, that's odd.
- Like I said, weird holiday.
1188
01:01:49,417 --> 01:01:51,792
Oh, well, I'll bet
if we decorated the tree
1189
01:01:51,917 --> 01:01:54,583
as beautifully as this house,
it could be so festive.
1190
01:01:54,709 --> 01:01:56,834
You just show me examples
and I'll bring it to life.
1191
01:01:56,959 --> 01:02:00,542
- I craft a lot.
- We could modernize it.
1192
01:02:00,542 --> 01:02:03,875
Bring in some local vendors,
do a small market.
1193
01:02:03,875 --> 01:02:05,625
Oh, sorry, you probably
1194
01:02:05,750 --> 01:02:07,709
don't wanna commercialize
this holiday.
1195
01:02:07,709 --> 01:02:09,208
It's not unheard of.
1196
01:02:09,333 --> 01:02:11,041
But this Christmas Eve, you see,
1197
01:02:11,166 --> 01:02:12,667
it's-it's only three days away.
1198
01:02:12,792 --> 01:02:14,166
I mean, I-I just don't know
where I would get
1199
01:02:14,291 --> 01:02:15,917
the-the lights,
the ribbons, the garlands--
1200
01:02:16,041 --> 01:02:19,834
Uh, I'll get them! I got
connections. I craft a lot.
1201
01:02:19,959 --> 01:02:21,875
We can secure a tree,
the lights,
1202
01:02:21,875 --> 01:02:23,375
permits, anything you need.
1203
01:02:23,500 --> 01:02:25,500
Yeah, yeah, uh,
you sketch the designs
1204
01:02:25,500 --> 01:02:27,500
and I'll, uh, show people
how to make 'em.
1205
01:02:27,625 --> 01:02:30,041
- I craft a lot.
- A lot. Yes. Got it.
1206
01:02:30,166 --> 01:02:31,875
I don't know who would give up
that much
1207
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:33,583
of their time, though,
to do something like this.
1208
01:02:33,709 --> 01:02:35,667
Nick, the bearded man
who told me
1209
01:02:35,792 --> 01:02:37,083
about this house,
do you know him?
1210
01:02:37,208 --> 01:02:39,083
No. I, I don't think I do.
1211
01:02:39,083 --> 01:02:43,208
Nick said it was
a lovely thing to spread light
1212
01:02:43,333 --> 01:02:45,625
during the darkest time
of the year.
1213
01:02:45,750 --> 01:02:46,875
Oh, that's...
1214
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:47,959
You'd be surprised how many
citizens
1215
01:02:48,083 --> 01:02:49,375
would come out to help.
1216
01:02:49,500 --> 01:02:51,959
We could use a little Creestmas.
1217
01:02:52,083 --> 01:02:54,542
- Christmas. It's Christmas.
- Christmas.
1218
01:02:54,667 --> 01:02:58,417
Yeah. Why don't we bring back
Christmas, right?
1219
01:03:04,166 --> 01:03:05,792
You know what? Let's do it.
1220
01:03:06,583 --> 01:03:08,333
Ah! Okay.
1221
01:03:08,458 --> 01:03:13,542
Merry Christmas is something
I assume you might say.
1222
01:03:18,750 --> 01:03:20,041
Sam.
1223
01:03:20,166 --> 01:03:21,917
Sam?
1224
01:03:22,041 --> 01:03:24,875
Oh, hey. Sorry, I let myself in.
1225
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:26,875
I'm just kind of spinning out,
you know?
1226
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:28,750
Oh, these are for you.
1227
01:03:28,875 --> 01:03:31,792
So get this, my mom told
all of the volunteers
1228
01:03:31,792 --> 01:03:33,458
that the primary decorations
should resemble
1229
01:03:33,583 --> 01:03:36,000
sports equipment.
So that's kind of a disaster.
1230
01:03:36,125 --> 01:03:37,792
And, uh, the only one
who gets it is Debbie.
1231
01:03:37,792 --> 01:03:39,625
And she's great, but she's
a lot, you know what I mean?
1232
01:03:39,625 --> 01:03:41,750
It's all just a lot.
Christmas is...
1233
01:03:41,875 --> 01:03:45,291
It's-it's very strong,
but it's, it's wrong.
1234
01:03:45,291 --> 01:03:47,000
Do you know what I mean, Sam?
1235
01:03:47,125 --> 01:03:49,083
Mm-hmm.
1236
01:03:49,208 --> 01:03:50,959
- Uh, Sam?
- Mr. Johnson.
1237
01:03:50,959 --> 01:03:52,083
I'm gonna have to call you back.
1238
01:03:52,208 --> 01:03:53,417
- Yup.
- Oh!
1239
01:03:54,542 --> 01:03:55,917
Ah, I'm sorry.
1240
01:03:56,041 --> 01:03:58,583
He's getting the lakehouse.
He'll be fine.
1241
01:03:58,709 --> 01:04:00,750
But will you be fine?
1242
01:04:00,875 --> 01:04:03,667
I-I mean, I, I think so.
1243
01:04:03,792 --> 01:04:06,375
There are dozens of volunteers
showing up to my parents' house
1244
01:04:06,500 --> 01:04:09,250
tomorrow to get ready for this
tree-lighting later at night.
1245
01:04:09,375 --> 01:04:12,625
I don't understand it. Like,
why is it spreading this fast?
1246
01:04:12,625 --> 01:04:14,458
Why would so many people
sign up?
1247
01:04:14,583 --> 01:04:17,959
You're asking why, but I think
you should be asking why not.
1248
01:04:18,083 --> 01:04:20,000
You promised
crafts and cocktails.
1249
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:23,041
Places charge
for that kind of fun.
1250
01:04:29,208 --> 01:04:31,667
I feel like you're kind
of starting to like Christmas.
1251
01:04:31,792 --> 01:04:33,500
What?
1252
01:04:33,500 --> 01:04:36,792
Christmas is fine, I guess.
1253
01:04:36,917 --> 01:04:38,000
- Fine?
- Mm-hmm.
1254
01:04:38,125 --> 01:04:39,500
Says the guy who spent
1255
01:04:39,625 --> 01:04:41,166
the whole last week with me
trying
1256
01:04:41,291 --> 01:04:44,709
to resurrect it and is now
doing it on his own.
1257
01:04:44,834 --> 01:04:49,375
I have not been spending
the week with you for Christmas.
1258
01:04:50,792 --> 01:04:55,125
I am in it
for the baked goods.
1259
01:04:57,875 --> 01:05:00,083
Oh, thank you.
1260
01:05:02,417 --> 01:05:03,750
Mm.
1261
01:05:05,291 --> 01:05:06,875
You did good, Sam.
1262
01:05:08,625 --> 01:05:10,125
You did real good.
1263
01:05:11,959 --> 01:05:13,417
Christmas is delicious.
1264
01:05:15,375 --> 01:05:17,417
- Welcome.
- Thank you.
1265
01:05:17,542 --> 01:05:19,166
Hi.
1266
01:05:19,291 --> 01:05:22,834
All right. This is gonna be fun.
I promise.

01:05:34,542 --> 01:05:35,917
Nope. Not drinking eggs.
1272
01:05:36,041 --> 01:05:38,041
It's eggnog.
Milk, sugar, egg cream.
1273
01:05:38,166 --> 01:05:39,917
- Just try it.
- Okay.
1274
01:05:41,834 --> 01:05:42,917
- Oh, that's good.
- Told you.
1275
01:05:43,041 --> 01:05:46,000
That's good. Mm. Mm.
1276

01:05:57,750 --> 01:06:00,709
Hey Debbie. So, so appreciate
your commitment to the vision.
1281
01:06:00,834 --> 01:06:02,208
You know what,
it's big stripes alternating
1282
01:06:02,375 --> 01:06:03,917
with little stripes.
That is a candy cane.
1283
01:06:04,041 --> 01:06:05,709
I just don't get
what's so hard to understand.
1284
01:06:05,834 --> 01:06:07,125
Right, let's try
to remember that
1285
01:06:07,250 --> 01:06:08,625
these people are all volunteers
1286
01:06:08,750 --> 01:06:12,083
and the goal, first and
foremost, is to have fun.
1287
01:06:14,083 --> 01:06:16,333
Okay, excuse me a minute. Ahem.
1288
01:06:22,250 --> 01:06:25,291
To be clear, after all this
goes up in flames,
1289
01:06:25,291 --> 01:06:27,959
you were in charge of spectacle.
1290
01:06:27,959 --> 01:06:29,959
I don't get it, it's like
Christmas disappeared
1291
01:06:29,959 --> 01:06:32,208
and replaced all their brain
cells with a lump of coal!
1292
01:06:32,333 --> 01:06:35,250
No matter how hard
I try to explain, we get this.
1293
01:06:35,375 --> 01:06:38,250
What is this?
You've gotta let me fix it.
1294
01:06:38,250 --> 01:06:39,959
I can make it so pretty.
1295
01:06:40,083 --> 01:06:41,291
- Just one thing--
- Oh, sure.
1296
01:06:41,417 --> 01:06:42,917
After you almost blew our cover
1297
01:06:43,041 --> 01:06:46,667
with that Rockefeller Center
display outside.
1298
01:06:46,667 --> 01:06:49,291
Am I the only one who takes
the word kablouie seriously?
1299
01:06:49,417 --> 01:06:51,959
We have to be discreet.
1300
01:06:52,083 --> 01:06:55,500
Now watch... and learn.
1301
01:06:59,625 --> 01:07:02,333
If this works, if I can bring
Christmas back for good,
1302
01:07:02,458 --> 01:07:04,208
I'm spending next year
in Hawaii.
1303
01:07:04,333 --> 01:07:06,166
You can't skip Christmas.
1304
01:07:06,166 --> 01:07:08,291
It'll just have to do
without me.
1305
01:07:08,417 --> 01:07:10,625
I don't know
if people can do that.
1306
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:14,125
People, huh?
1307
01:07:15,959 --> 01:07:16,959
Nope. Yeah, um...
1308
01:07:19,583 --> 01:07:20,834
What is that?
1309
01:07:20,959 --> 01:07:22,500
Oh, that's, uh, called
mistletoe.
1310
01:07:22,625 --> 01:07:24,166
There's this funny old tradition
1311
01:07:24,166 --> 01:07:28,041
where if you get caught
standing under it, they, um...
1312
01:07:28,041 --> 01:07:30,166
What happens?
1313
01:07:30,291 --> 01:07:33,208
Uh, uh...
Hey, who put this here?
1314
01:07:33,208 --> 01:07:35,041
- Who is that? It's funny.
- What does mistletoe do?
1315
01:07:35,041 --> 01:07:36,542
We should get back to work.
1316
01:07:36,667 --> 01:07:39,291
Well, Erin,
what does mistletoe do?
1317
01:07:39,417 --> 01:07:40,709
It's not important.
1318
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:45,709
Okay, bye, kids.
Safe home, okay?
1319
01:07:45,834 --> 01:07:47,375
Careful. Um, just, just...
1320
01:07:52,333 --> 01:07:55,041
I thought
tonight was a huge success.
1321
01:07:55,166 --> 01:07:57,875
Why do you look like someone
put peppermint in your cocoa?
1322
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:01,458
I didn't. Just mine. I like it.
1323
01:08:01,583 --> 01:08:05,375
I don't know, just, the more
I see people having fun,
1324
01:08:05,375 --> 01:08:07,917
the guiltier I feel
that I wished it all away.
1325
01:08:08,041 --> 01:08:10,583
Mm. Okay.
Let's think about this.
1326
01:08:10,709 --> 01:08:12,000
Did you ever put it in writing
1327
01:08:12,125 --> 01:08:13,667
that you want your wish
reversed?
1328
01:08:13,792 --> 01:08:15,250
I know we sent
a cease and desist, but--
1329
01:08:15,375 --> 01:08:16,583
All I got back was the weirdest
1330
01:08:16,709 --> 01:08:19,375
out-of-office reply
I've ever seen.
1331
01:08:19,500 --> 01:08:21,667
You know, sometimes verbal
agreements can be binding.
1332
01:08:21,792 --> 01:08:26,083
Have you just
formally said it out loud?
1333
01:08:26,083 --> 01:08:28,917
What do you mean?
I just shout it out?
1334
01:08:28,917 --> 01:08:30,792
- Yeah. Mm-hmm.
- To the universe?
1335
01:08:30,917 --> 01:08:32,917
Like...
1336
01:08:33,041 --> 01:08:35,583
I wish that Christmas
would come back!
1337
01:08:35,583 --> 01:08:37,583
I mean, yeah. Right.
1338
01:08:42,083 --> 01:08:44,417
- Oh.
- Oh. Hey, guys.
1339
01:08:44,417 --> 01:08:45,875
I didn't see you there.
1340
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:48,667
I'm just switching
the extension cord out.
1341
01:08:53,291 --> 01:08:54,417
Wow.
1342
01:08:55,083 --> 01:08:56,291
Get some sleep.
1343
01:08:56,291 --> 01:08:57,583
Maybe in the morning
we'll game plan
1344
01:08:57,709 --> 01:08:58,709
for our meeting with Debbie.
1345
01:08:58,834 --> 01:09:00,625
- Debbie.
- Yeah.
1346
01:09:00,625 --> 01:09:03,792
- She is a lot. Heh.
- Yeah.
1347
01:09:25,500 --> 01:09:26,750
- Seriously?
- Oh, God!
1348
01:09:26,875 --> 01:09:29,250
What?
I did exactly what you asked.
1349
01:09:29,375 --> 01:09:31,291
Nothing more.
Definitely nothing less.
1350
01:09:31,417 --> 01:09:35,041
It's a little bit more.
But you have to get out of here.
1351
01:09:35,166 --> 01:09:36,834
You can't stand them up
for dinner
1352
01:09:36,834 --> 01:09:38,458
if you're standing here
for dinner.
1353
01:09:38,458 --> 01:09:40,875
Besides, it's my time to shine.
1354
01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:42,875
- You're on Santa watch.
- What?
1355
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:46,792
Are we sure keeping Santa out
of the mix is still a good idea?
1356
01:09:46,917 --> 01:09:50,500
I don't see a scenario where
the two of them cross paths
1357
01:09:50,500 --> 01:09:54,291
where it doesn't end up with,
"Oh, magic is real?
1358
01:09:54,417 --> 01:09:56,625
Time, space, kablouie!"
1359
01:09:56,625 --> 01:09:59,333
Wow! Okay, yup, uh, that's...
You're right. I'm gonna go.
1360
01:10:13,083 --> 01:10:14,458
Showtime.
1361
01:10:23,625 --> 01:10:25,250
- Hi.
- Hi.
1362
01:10:29,959 --> 01:10:32,041
- Did you? It wasn't me.
- Did you? I did not.
1363
01:10:32,166 --> 01:10:33,542
- You--
- Here you are.
1364
01:10:33,667 --> 01:10:35,375
- Oh, no, that's not, uh--
- Set menu.
1365
01:10:35,500 --> 01:10:39,208
Enjoy your dinner
and, uh, save room for dessert.
1366
01:10:42,125 --> 01:10:43,458
Oh.
1367
01:10:43,583 --> 01:10:47,291
Is romance like a big thing
at Christmas?
1368
01:10:47,417 --> 01:10:48,667
Oh, yeah, there used to be
1369
01:10:48,792 --> 01:10:50,625
entire TV stations
devoted to it.
1370
01:10:50,750 --> 01:10:51,959
Because
if we weren't expecting Debbie,
1371
01:10:52,083 --> 01:10:54,417
I might suspect
that this was a date.
1372
01:10:54,417 --> 01:10:56,750
Debbie actually called.
1373
01:10:56,875 --> 01:10:59,500
She can't actually
make it, so...
1374
01:10:59,625 --> 01:11:02,417
I didn't do this.
1375
01:11:02,417 --> 01:11:04,750
If you wanna go on a date,
you can just ask me on a date.
1376
01:11:04,750 --> 01:11:07,125
I didn't do this, we just have
1377
01:11:07,250 --> 01:11:10,417
some very Christmassy business
to attend to.
1378
01:11:10,542 --> 01:11:13,250
Doesn't mean we can't enjoy
the ambiance, right?
1379
01:11:13,375 --> 01:11:15,417
Exactly. We can just engage
in a little small talk.
1380
01:11:15,542 --> 01:11:17,125
- Not date small talk.
- Nope.
1381
01:11:17,250 --> 01:11:18,709
Just regular
run-of-the-mill stuff.
1382
01:11:18,834 --> 01:11:20,500
- Like, how was your day?
- Really good.
1383
01:11:20,625 --> 01:11:22,333
I actually made
a big decision today.
1384
01:11:22,458 --> 01:11:23,625
Oh, here we go. We're doing it.
1385
01:11:23,750 --> 01:11:26,250
- Mm-hmm.
- Uh, what was it?
1386
01:11:26,375 --> 01:11:30,166
I am taking Taylor up
on his offer.
1387
01:11:31,667 --> 01:11:35,291
Well, that's amazing.
I-I'm so glad.
1388
01:11:35,417 --> 01:11:37,750
That is fantastic news.
1389
01:11:37,875 --> 01:11:40,333
- You think so?
- Yeah.
1390
01:11:40,458 --> 01:11:44,000
What, uh, made you decide
to stay?
1391
01:11:44,125 --> 01:11:47,417
I-I don't know,
working with you this week,
1392
01:11:47,542 --> 01:11:51,041
seeing all the people that
came out together to help...
1393
01:11:51,166 --> 01:11:54,000
That's what I've been
looking for, community.
1394
01:11:54,125 --> 01:11:56,250
Plus, I really like it here.
1395
01:11:57,959 --> 01:11:59,583
I'm really glad.
1396
01:12:01,250 --> 01:12:04,917
And if I'm being honest,
you inspired it.
1397
01:12:10,041 --> 01:12:11,208
Thank you.
1398
01:12:12,750 --> 01:12:14,750
- Mm.
- Um...
1399
01:12:14,875 --> 01:12:18,834
Hey, I looked
that stuff up today.
1400
01:12:18,834 --> 01:12:20,125
- Oh.
- Yeah.
1401
01:12:20,250 --> 01:12:22,125
- And didn't find very much.
- Right.
1402
01:12:22,250 --> 01:12:24,417
You wouldn't have 'cause,
you know, it's Christmas things.
1403
01:12:24,542 --> 01:12:26,500
You know, then there was this
one thing from ancient Greece
1404
01:12:26,625 --> 01:12:28,000
where people standing
under the mistletoe
1405
01:12:28,125 --> 01:12:29,792
would kiss
at the end of a wedding.
1406
01:12:29,917 --> 01:12:34,834
Huh! What an interesting,
totally unrelated cultural fact.
1407
01:12:36,583 --> 01:12:37,750
Really?
1408
01:12:41,750 --> 01:12:42,917
Really.
1409
01:12:49,667 --> 01:12:52,333
Did, did you hear that?
1410
01:12:52,458 --> 01:12:55,000
- I think he's in the kitchen.
- Erin.
1411
01:12:55,125 --> 01:12:56,333
What's coming from the kitchen?
1412
01:12:56,458 --> 01:12:57,834
It was delightful!
1413
01:12:57,959 --> 01:12:59,875
We hit a curve that almost sent
1414
01:12:59,875 --> 01:13:01,917
the sleigh careening,
then Rudolph--
1415
01:13:02,041 --> 01:13:03,542
You know what? I can't wait
to hear all about it.
1416
01:13:03,667 --> 01:13:05,041
Why don't you come
tell me in this closet?
1417
01:13:05,166 --> 01:13:06,375
Erin, you can't go
into the kitchen.
1418
01:13:06,375 --> 01:13:07,417
- Going in the kitchen!
- Hey.
1419
01:13:07,542 --> 01:13:08,583
Uh, who's ready for dessert?
1420
01:13:08,709 --> 01:13:10,250
Right, we-we got, uh, uh,
1421
01:13:10,375 --> 01:13:11,500
cookies, uh, candy canes,
1422
01:13:11,625 --> 01:13:12,959
uh, sugar plums,
whatever those are.
1423
01:13:13,083 --> 01:13:15,375
Hi. I-I'm Erin Smithson.
1424
01:13:15,500 --> 01:13:17,041
- Ha-ha.
- And kablouie.
1425
01:13:17,166 --> 01:13:19,375
Hi, Erin. I'm Nick.
1426
01:13:19,500 --> 01:13:22,542
Nick! Uh, of course,
of course your name is Nick.
1427
01:13:22,667 --> 01:13:25,083
Um, Nick, this is
gonna sound like a little bit
1428
01:13:25,208 --> 01:13:27,667
of an odd request, but, well,
I'm an artist in the area
1429
01:13:27,792 --> 01:13:30,875
and I'm doing a very specific
installation, you see?
1430
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:33,125
And in it
there is a crucial character.
1431
01:13:33,250 --> 01:13:36,291
Oh, yeah. He looks
just like the Santa guy.
1432
01:13:36,417 --> 01:13:38,208
Right? Isn't it uncanny?
1433
01:13:38,208 --> 01:13:40,625
A-anyway, this,
this character of Santa, well,
1434
01:13:40,750 --> 01:13:45,375
he is a, uh, mythical,
bearded being, a-and the project
1435
01:13:45,500 --> 01:13:47,417
would absolutely
not be the same without him.
1436
01:13:47,417 --> 01:13:50,250
And you would be
absolutely perfect.
1437
01:13:50,375 --> 01:13:52,583
- He's not much of an actor.
- Oh, he wouldn't have to act.
1438
01:13:52,709 --> 01:13:55,250
We'd explain the whole thing.
You just be yourself.
1439
01:13:55,250 --> 01:13:58,583
- Be yourself.
- Oh, oh. Of course.
1440
01:13:58,709 --> 01:14:01,083
Who wouldn't want
to spread a little joy?
1441
01:14:01,083 --> 01:14:03,500
Oh, a-amazing. Amazing.
1442
01:14:03,625 --> 01:14:05,083
Thank you.
Thank you so much, Nick.
1443
01:14:07,792 --> 01:14:10,083
We're gonna need you down here.
1444
01:14:14,834 --> 01:14:16,208
The usual.
1445
01:14:16,333 --> 01:14:19,250
Perfect. A work of art.
1446
01:14:20,291 --> 01:14:22,667
Poof! Ha-ha!
1447
01:14:22,834 --> 01:14:25,458
What? I made some friends.
1448
01:14:25,583 --> 01:14:29,583
So if I follow, Erin does not
believe he's the real Santa.
1449
01:14:29,583 --> 01:14:32,250
And now she's cast
this stranger, Nick,
1450
01:14:32,375 --> 01:14:35,750
to play the character of Santa,
whom she believes is mythical.
1451
01:14:35,875 --> 01:14:37,917
You've hit it
on the glowing nose.
1452
01:14:38,041 --> 01:14:39,959
Oh, then we have no problem.
1453
01:14:41,041 --> 01:14:42,291
Oh, I'm sorry.
1454
01:14:42,417 --> 01:14:44,792
What about
the magic-space-time continuum?
1455
01:14:44,917 --> 01:14:46,375
No kablouie or...
1456
01:14:46,500 --> 01:14:47,917
It's a legal loophole,
1457
01:14:48,041 --> 01:14:51,041
like founding your business
in Delaware.
1458
01:14:51,166 --> 01:14:52,750
As long as she believes
she's creating
1459
01:14:52,875 --> 01:14:56,166
his Santa performance,
we should be okay.
1460
01:14:56,291 --> 01:14:58,959
Great. Thank you so much.
1461
01:14:58,959 --> 01:15:02,417
No problem. But a bit of advice.
1462
01:15:02,542 --> 01:15:03,792
Don't have a meeting
for something
1463
01:15:03,792 --> 01:15:05,500
that should have been a email.
1464
01:15:05,625 --> 01:15:08,583
Especially in a place like this.
1465
01:15:12,959 --> 01:15:15,333
And you call this a cocoa?
1466
01:15:18,333 --> 01:15:22,166
♪ My heart is falling down... ♪
1467
01:15:24,500 --> 01:15:27,500
♪ Each night I'm crying ♪
1468
01:15:27,500 --> 01:15:30,000
Mm, thank you. You can bring it,
like, down by the blue thing.
1469
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:31,291
Thank you.
1470
01:15:31,417 --> 01:15:33,458
♪ Is falling ♪
1471
01:15:33,458 --> 01:15:36,000
- Wonderful.
- Wow!
1472
01:15:36,125 --> 01:15:37,834
Oh. You scared me.
1473
01:15:37,834 --> 01:15:39,000
- Oh, my gosh--
- Aunt Erin!
1474
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:41,959
- Hi! Hey!
- Aww...
1475
01:15:42,083 --> 01:15:44,417
So glad you guys are here.
1476
01:15:44,542 --> 01:15:46,375
I don't know
where I'm gonna keep 'em yet,
1477
01:15:46,375 --> 01:15:48,000
but that's what I really want.
1478
01:15:48,125 --> 01:15:51,625
A dragon that breathes candy.
1479
01:15:51,750 --> 01:15:54,959
That's a wonderful idea!
I'll get my elves right on it.
1480
01:15:55,083 --> 01:15:56,667
Thanks, Santa.
1481
01:15:56,667 --> 01:15:59,750
How about you, Olivia?
1482
01:15:59,875 --> 01:16:02,166
What would you like
for Christmas?
1483
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:07,542
Uh, uh, maybe you'd like
some answers.
1484
01:16:07,667 --> 01:16:10,875
Most houses don't have a
chimney. How do you visit those?
1485
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:14,041
My elves made me a magical key
1486
01:16:14,166 --> 01:16:18,458
that lets me get in
to any house in the world!
1487
01:16:19,834 --> 01:16:22,000
How do you make
the reindeer fly?
1488
01:16:22,125 --> 01:16:26,834
Well, you see, reindeer
aren't so different from people.
1489
01:16:26,834 --> 01:16:29,834
All it takes
is a little encouragement,
1490
01:16:29,959 --> 01:16:34,959
and you have to be very sure to
call each of them by their name.
1491
01:16:35,083 --> 01:16:38,917
On Dasher! On Dancer!
On Prancer! On Vixen!
1492
01:16:39,041 --> 01:16:41,542
Oh, and you mustn't
forget Vixen.
1493
01:16:41,667 --> 01:16:44,250
Or he'll be very upset.
1494
01:16:44,250 --> 01:16:46,083
Sam, this is not making
any sense.
1495
01:16:46,083 --> 01:16:48,291
How does he have
the exact Santa suit?
1496
01:16:48,417 --> 01:16:50,083
And he knows the names
of the reindeer.
1497
01:16:50,208 --> 01:16:53,041
I mean, uh, that's from a song.
How does he know the song?
1498
01:16:53,166 --> 01:16:56,041
Honestly, I think
there's only one explanation.
1499
01:16:56,041 --> 01:16:58,750
Spreading Christmas is working.
1500
01:16:58,875 --> 01:17:01,250
The more it spreads,
the more the wish reverses.
1501
01:17:01,250 --> 01:17:02,583
Right. Like, with your photo.
1502
01:17:02,709 --> 01:17:04,625
- Oh, yeah.
- You know what?
1503
01:17:04,750 --> 01:17:06,417
I think you were
on to something the other day.
1504
01:17:06,542 --> 01:17:08,917
I need to make a, uh,
a grand verbal agreement.
1505
01:17:09,041 --> 01:17:11,291
Yes, yes, harness the power
of all this belief
1506
01:17:11,291 --> 01:17:13,792
in-in a public formal statement.
1507
01:17:13,917 --> 01:17:16,625
Right. What about at the town
tree-lighting tonight?
1508
01:17:16,750 --> 01:17:19,291
- Maximize impact. Yeah.
- You have to try, right?
1509
01:17:19,417 --> 01:17:20,625
I already have
a camera.
1510
01:17:20,750 --> 01:17:22,667
I just wanted to see if
you were real.
1511
01:17:22,792 --> 01:17:25,083
- But you seem real to me.
- Oh-oh-oh.
1512
01:17:25,083 --> 01:17:28,250
- Told you.
- In-in any case...
1513
01:17:28,375 --> 01:17:30,709
What would you like
for Christmas?
1514
01:17:30,834 --> 01:17:32,291
No, I'm okay. Thank you.
1515
01:17:32,291 --> 01:17:34,792
But can I ask for something
for someone else?
1516
01:17:34,917 --> 01:17:35,917
Of course.
1517
01:17:36,041 --> 01:17:37,750
I'd like to get my Aunt Erin
1518
01:17:37,875 --> 01:17:40,083
a fancy vacation.
She is stressed.
1519
01:17:40,208 --> 01:17:42,083
Really.
1520
01:17:42,083 --> 01:17:44,250
She's always making sure
everything is fun
1521
01:17:44,375 --> 01:17:47,291
for me and Jonah
and mom and Taylor.
1522
01:17:47,417 --> 01:17:50,792
Like, teaching us about Santa
or baking cookies.
1523
01:17:50,792 --> 01:17:55,166
I wish somebody would bake her
cookies or make things magic.
1524
01:17:55,166 --> 01:17:57,208
Can you do that for grownups?
1525
01:17:57,333 --> 01:18:01,500
Ah. I think
that's a wonderful wish.

Welcome to Duluth's first ever
Christmas celebration!
1529
01:18:39,208 --> 01:18:44,041
Uh, I'd like to introduce
our Christmas hero, Santa Claus.
1530
01:18:49,041 --> 01:18:51,000
Ho-ho-ho!
1531
01:18:52,875 --> 01:18:54,625
Merry Christmas.
1532
01:18:54,750 --> 01:18:56,291
Merry Christmas!
1533
01:18:56,417 --> 01:18:59,709
Okay. Thank you.
1534
01:18:59,709 --> 01:19:01,667
Um... Heh-heh...
1535
01:19:01,792 --> 01:19:04,542
"He lives at the North Pole
1536
01:19:04,542 --> 01:19:07,542
and flies on nine tiny moose."
1537
01:19:07,542 --> 01:19:08,792
Yeah.
1538
01:19:08,917 --> 01:19:10,834
- Reindeer.
- Oh, sorry.
1539
01:19:10,834 --> 01:19:12,917
Reindeer. I like that.
1540
01:19:13,041 --> 01:19:16,750
Um, "Delivering toys
to children all over the world."
1541
01:19:16,875 --> 01:19:18,792
Wow.
1542
01:19:18,917 --> 01:19:22,083
And now at this time, I would
like to invite on to the stage
1543
01:19:22,083 --> 01:19:26,709
the creative mind
behind this evening's event,
1544
01:19:26,834 --> 01:19:28,375
Erin Smithson.
1545
01:19:34,709 --> 01:19:37,709
Well, thank you, Mayor Hara.
Thank you, Santa Claus.
1546
01:19:37,834 --> 01:19:39,083
Wow. I never thought
I would say that.
1547
01:19:40,750 --> 01:19:42,917
It is, uh...
1548
01:19:42,917 --> 01:19:44,583
Well, it's incredibly special
1549
01:19:44,709 --> 01:19:47,583
to see all of you
out here tonight.
1550
01:19:47,583 --> 01:19:50,583
And I wanna say thank you
to all of the volunteers
1551
01:19:50,709 --> 01:19:55,250
who helped to bring back this
wonderfully unique holiday.
1552
01:19:55,375 --> 01:19:59,125
As you can see, Christmas
has got a lot going on.
1553
01:20:00,625 --> 01:20:04,959
And Christmas, well, not always
quite like this,
1554
01:20:04,959 --> 01:20:07,041
has always been
a wonderful mishmash
1555
01:20:07,166 --> 01:20:11,917
of cultures and traditions,
meant to bring light
1556
01:20:12,041 --> 01:20:14,625
at the very darkest time
of the year.
1557
01:20:14,750 --> 01:20:16,417
Hm.
1558
01:20:16,542 --> 01:20:21,458
So I hope that you all
agree with me when I say
1559
01:20:21,458 --> 01:20:25,500
I wish that Christmas
would come back for good!
1560
01:20:27,041 --> 01:20:29,250
She did it, right? She did it!
1561
01:20:34,750 --> 01:20:37,542

Christmas would come back.

Teeth wasn't so bad.
1573
01:21:23,709 --> 01:21:25,333
Steady year-round work.
1574
01:21:28,041 --> 01:21:30,375
Look at this guy, Chuck,
making with the holly jolly.
1575
01:21:30,375 --> 01:21:32,542
'Tis the season to panic,
and our boss is laughing
1576
01:21:32,667 --> 01:21:33,792
like a bowlful of jelly.
1577
01:21:33,917 --> 01:21:36,375
Whoa-ho-ho.
1578
01:21:36,375 --> 01:21:39,000
What's with
all the doom and gloom?
1579
01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:40,500
What do you mean, sir?
1580
01:21:40,625 --> 01:21:42,375
She rescinded her wish
and nothing happened.
1581
01:21:42,500 --> 01:21:45,208
I didn't suppose it would.
1582
01:21:45,208 --> 01:21:47,709
Sure, she wished it.
1583
01:21:47,709 --> 01:21:50,834
But she wished it
for everyone else.
1584
01:21:50,959 --> 01:21:54,208
In order for her to mean it
with her whole heart,
1585
01:21:54,333 --> 01:21:58,208
she has to remember
what Christmas means to her.
1586
01:21:58,208 --> 01:22:00,542
Just her.
1587
01:22:00,667 --> 01:22:03,583
Well, that's insight.
1588
01:22:03,709 --> 01:22:06,375
That would've been helpful
any second before now!
1589
01:22:08,875 --> 01:22:12,041
- Oh, ah...
- Ah, look, look, look, look.
1590
01:22:12,166 --> 01:22:14,083
- We can't fix this.
- I know.
1591
01:22:14,208 --> 01:22:16,750
- But he can.
- How?
1592
01:22:16,875 --> 01:22:18,917
He's Santa.
1593
01:22:18,917 --> 01:22:21,458
Right, Santa?
1594
01:22:22,500 --> 01:22:23,750
Santa?
1595
01:22:25,959 --> 01:22:29,375
- Why does he keep doing that?
- I don't...
1596
01:22:47,667 --> 01:22:49,542
Sorry it didn't work.
1597
01:22:50,542 --> 01:22:52,375
It's fine.
1598
01:22:52,500 --> 01:22:55,125
I mean, people find new reasons
1599
01:22:55,250 --> 01:22:57,291
to get together
and make new memories
1600
01:22:57,291 --> 01:23:01,458
and probably even invent
new holidays.
1601
01:23:01,583 --> 01:23:04,458
So you're just gonna give up?
1602
01:23:04,458 --> 01:23:06,792
I mean,
what do you expect me to do?
1603
01:23:06,917 --> 01:23:10,625
Keep trying to resurrect
a holiday that I wished away?
1604
01:23:10,750 --> 01:23:12,583
I mean,
I wanted a break from Christmas.
1605
01:23:12,709 --> 01:23:15,458
Now it's,
it's all I think about.
1606
01:23:15,458 --> 01:23:18,458
You wanted a break,
not to smash it to pieces.
1607
01:23:18,583 --> 01:23:21,125
Yeah, but it's like you said,
it's a victimless crime.
1608
01:23:21,250 --> 01:23:23,291
No one's gonna remember.
1609
01:23:23,291 --> 01:23:26,959
You're discouraged.
This isn't you.
1610
01:23:27,083 --> 01:23:31,000
You see beauty and meaning
where other people miss it.
1611
01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:33,959
In your art, in the everyday,
1612
01:23:34,083 --> 01:23:36,625
in all of this.
1613
01:23:36,750 --> 01:23:40,166
You're not someone who gives up
because things get hard.
1614
01:23:42,625 --> 01:23:44,834
And I don't know
how it was before,
1615
01:23:44,959 --> 01:23:49,291
but this week, your family
had zero expectations.
1616
01:23:49,417 --> 01:23:52,166
They jumped at the chance
to help you
1617
01:23:52,291 --> 01:23:55,125
because they like
being with you.
1618
01:23:55,250 --> 01:23:56,792
You didn't have to make
Christmas happen for us.
1619
01:23:56,792 --> 01:24:00,333
We didn't even know it existed.
1620
01:24:00,333 --> 01:24:02,000
They just like you.
1621
01:24:02,125 --> 01:24:04,667
I like you.
1622
01:24:07,500 --> 01:24:10,000
So whatever story
you're telling yourself,
1623
01:24:10,125 --> 01:24:12,333
it's not true.
1624
01:24:12,458 --> 01:24:16,542
Doesn't have to be this way
unless you want it to.
1625
01:24:57,417 --> 01:24:58,709
Hi, Nick.
1626
01:24:58,834 --> 01:25:02,083
Oh, E-Erin. Hello.
1627
01:25:02,208 --> 01:25:05,125
Ha, beautiful, isn't it?
1628
01:25:05,250 --> 01:25:06,458
Mm.
1629
01:25:09,500 --> 01:25:11,250
Everything okay?
1630
01:25:15,667 --> 01:25:20,417
Can I tell you something
without you judging me?
1631
01:25:20,417 --> 01:25:24,542
Judging isn't in my nature,
1632
01:25:24,667 --> 01:25:27,041
as long as you're nice.
1633
01:25:29,917 --> 01:25:31,792
Not much time left.
1634
01:25:34,208 --> 01:25:35,333
Here.
1635
01:25:37,709 --> 01:25:39,917
Good stuff from up north.
1636
01:25:40,041 --> 01:25:42,834
Thanks, buddy.
1637
01:25:44,041 --> 01:25:45,834
To humans.
1638
01:25:50,375 --> 01:25:52,750
May we never see them again.
1639
01:25:56,917 --> 01:25:58,792
And no matter
how hard you wished
1640
01:25:58,792 --> 01:26:01,917
for it to come back,
it didn't work?
1641
01:26:02,041 --> 01:26:03,959
Oh, it's like,
what more do you want
1642
01:26:03,959 --> 01:26:05,834
from me, universe, you know?
1643
01:26:08,041 --> 01:26:09,959
- Such a shame.
- Yeah.
1644
01:26:10,083 --> 01:26:14,250
If it's true
that Christmas disappeared...
1645
01:26:15,291 --> 01:26:19,291
I thought it was a lovely idea.
1646
01:26:21,208 --> 01:26:23,000
What do you think
you'll miss most?
1647
01:26:24,667 --> 01:26:27,250
Gosh, let me think. Um...
1648
01:26:27,375 --> 01:26:29,625
Well, my family did always love
this tree-lighting,
1649
01:26:29,625 --> 01:26:32,166
and I always had to go
to the pageant.
1650
01:26:32,291 --> 01:26:35,667
No, dear.
1651
01:26:35,667 --> 01:26:39,458
What would just you miss?
1652
01:26:44,333 --> 01:26:48,166
Like, just that feeling
of anticipation, you know,
1653
01:26:48,166 --> 01:26:49,625
and the way it made everybody
1654
01:26:49,750 --> 01:26:53,041
just this much nicer
to each other.
1655
01:26:54,750 --> 01:26:56,208
Probably sounds silly.
1656
01:26:56,333 --> 01:26:59,041
Not at all. What else?
1657
01:27:00,291 --> 01:27:01,959
Gingerbread. Oh, my gosh.
1658
01:27:02,083 --> 01:27:04,875
The way that smell can just
fill up an entire house.
1659
01:27:06,750 --> 01:27:09,625
And my mom and I would paint
ornaments together every year.
1660
01:27:09,750 --> 01:27:12,667
We're not great at it, so we'd
always have to put the bad ones
1661
01:27:12,667 --> 01:27:14,041
around at the back of the tree.
1662
01:27:16,041 --> 01:27:18,667
And the music, I mean,
when else can you sing songs
1663
01:27:18,792 --> 01:27:20,458
with your friends
and your family?
1664
01:27:20,583 --> 01:27:23,375
- Ooh. Not enough if you ask me.
- Right?
1665
01:27:23,375 --> 01:27:25,875
And Jonah. My gosh.
1666
01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:30,083
His cute little
Christmas morning bedhead. Oh.
1667
01:27:30,208 --> 01:27:33,834
And Olivia, the smile on
that kid's face when I gave her
1668
01:27:33,834 --> 01:27:36,041
a camera last year,
that was one of the proudest
1669
01:27:36,166 --> 01:27:40,417
and just happiest moments
of my life, you know?
1670
01:27:40,417 --> 01:27:43,208
You'll make new memories.
1671
01:27:43,333 --> 01:27:47,625
Find new things
that have meaning.
1672
01:27:51,792 --> 01:27:54,083
But it's not gonna be the same.
1673
01:27:54,208 --> 01:27:56,542
And none of it's
gonna be the same.
1674
01:27:58,500 --> 01:28:00,083
I had it.
1675
01:28:00,083 --> 01:28:03,375
I had the real Christmas
and I did not appreciate it.
1676
01:28:03,500 --> 01:28:08,125
It's like I was, I was just
sleepwalking. And for what?
1677
01:28:13,166 --> 01:28:17,125
I just, just wish I could
take it all back, you know?
1678
01:28:18,375 --> 01:28:19,792
I just wish I had
Christmas back.
1679
01:28:23,000 --> 01:28:24,250
What?
1680
01:28:25,208 --> 01:28:26,417
Nick, I...
1681
01:28:27,750 --> 01:28:28,917
Nick?
1682
01:28:35,875 --> 01:28:37,166
Nick!
1683
01:29:11,667 --> 01:29:13,625
Ah. Ah.
1684
01:29:35,750 --> 01:29:38,000
There you are,
your family cleared out to get
1685
01:29:38,125 --> 01:29:40,875
the kids to bed,
to get ready for Santa.
1686
01:29:41,000 --> 01:29:42,208
Ready to go?
1687
01:29:43,917 --> 01:29:45,208
Uh...
1688
01:29:45,333 --> 01:29:47,834
You wanna stay longer?
1689
01:29:47,959 --> 01:29:50,125
Not to ruin surprises,
but the date I planned
1690
01:29:50,250 --> 01:29:53,333
is absolutely Christmas-free,
in case you need a break from--
1691
01:29:53,333 --> 01:29:56,458
No, I don't need a break
from Christmas.
1692
01:30:01,125 --> 01:30:03,250
Did you say date?
1693
01:30:03,375 --> 01:30:04,875
I know you said
you're not dating,
1694
01:30:04,875 --> 01:30:07,542
but spending this week with you,
1695
01:30:07,667 --> 01:30:10,166
developing photos
and decorating,
1696
01:30:10,166 --> 01:30:11,834
getting to know you...
1697
01:30:13,792 --> 01:30:18,000
It's nice
not to do Christmas alone.
1698
01:30:18,125 --> 01:30:21,375
And I totally get it if things
haven't changed for you, but I--

No, Erin, come sit down,

01:30:46,417 --> 01:30:48,041
Papa Elf will do it.
I'll hand 'em out.

You know, would you mind
if I did three quick ones?

- Thank you.
1710
01:30:59,208 --> 01:31:00,917

1712
01:31:02,417 --> 01:31:04,792

these were
my favorite ornaments,

and I thought that, you know...
1722
01:31:29,917 --> 01:31:31,750
It's perfect, Sam. I love it.
1723
01:31:31,875 --> 01:31:33,208

that Operation Wish...
1731
01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:11,333
is too great a liability.
1732
01:32:11,333 --> 01:32:13,333
The program has been terminated.
1733

Trust me,
we completely understand.

of termination--

Why would you want to put that
in their heads? Why--

01:32:21,709 --> 01:32:23,500
I can't handle
the pressure, if they're going
