Oh, I love it.
You do?
Yes. It's very you.
Oh good, because I got one for you and Stella.
Now you have three.
Hey, do you think she's gonna be on time today?
Uh, no, she beat me in today.
No way.
[snoring]
[clears throat]
Yeah!
Oh, the green lights.
[clears throat] Good morning.
So you just sleep here now?
No, I uh, I was early, obviously.
You hate waking up early.
I hate traffic even more.
Oh, well hey, I'll see you at lunch?
Mmhm, yes. For sure.
- Ok. - Yeah. See you.
See ya later.
- [bell ringing] - Whew.
Alright, for those of you who did not finish
your Christmas shopping yet, you guys are in luck,
because today we are making Christmas ornaments.
[classroom ooing]
I know! How cute?
Ava, hey.
- Hey. - Hey.
Hi, Ben.
- Ah, whatcha go there? - Huh?
Oh, it's a new container, mostly for the cats.
Like, for the food left over at the bottom of the can.
I meant what'd you bring for lunch.
Presumably not cat food.
[laughs] Ah, no. Chicken Caesar salad.
Ah, switching it up from the usual, I see.
Usual?
Yeah. Tuna salad.
Come on, we've been friends for almost five years now.
You don't think I notice how often you pack
a tuna salad sandwich for lunch?
Oh.
It's ok, my usual is a-
Turkey and pepper jack on sourdough,
salt and vinegar chips and a root beer
from the vending machine... by the canteen.
I think, yeah, I don't know.
No, that's pretty much it.
Oh, that's weird.
Yeah.
So, you heading out of town tomorrow?
No. No, my mom and aunt are coming into town for Christmas.
Ok, that's great.
Then you can make it to the Summit this year.
Summit?
Yeah, the Santa Summit. You know, the big celebration
that happens every year downtown.
- Oh, yes! - Yeah.
Yes, the one with all the...
- [both] Santas. - Yeah, that's the one.
Ok, yeah. You and the history guys go every year, right?
[chuckles] We do. We do and it's always a good time.
You can't make it 'cause you usually have to leave town.
Yes. Oh, definitely that is... that's why.
So you're coming?
- Yes! Or, yes. I will. - Yes.
I wouldn't miss it.
Great. So I'm gonna go grab that root beer,
but I will see you, I'll see you later.
- See ya. - Yeah.
- Yup. - Enjoy the salad!

Ok, well do you wanna do something?
I don't know, something... fun?
Not the thing with all the Santas.
Absolutely the thing with all the Santas.
The Santa Summit.
I, uh... can't.
Stella! Come on!
Let's go out. Let's have some fun.
What?
Is that a Santa costume?
Yeah, I was just telling Stella
that we should all go to the Santa Summit.
She's not gonna be interested.
Yeah, I'm interested.
What? Why, it could be fun.
Three of us, out there, you know, enjoying the festivities.
Mm.
This wouldn't have anything to do with Ben going
to the Santa Summit, would it?
Is Ben going? 'Cause, I didn't know that.
Here's a great idea.
Why don't the three of us... ok, get ready,
...get together and have an excellent, crazy brunch.
Brunch?
Nico's seeing someone.
Already?
Oh, no.
It's been three months.
But you dated for two years.
He's getting out there, you know?
Why am I not?
Ok and you, Stella, come on.
Ever since they made you move from music to English
you haven't been the same.
You guys, I just, I really wanna find that... that thing.
You know, that thing that makes me feel alive.
Get's me excited for the day. Don't you want that?
Don't you miss that feeling?
Come on, please, let's go. Let's get back out there.
Let's find that thing...
Yes!
Sorry. Sorry, Julia, that was...
- Blow off some steam. - Yes.
I'm on the wrong side of 30.
I'm not trying to blow off steam,
I'm trying to preserve all the steam that I have left.
Ok, no. No.
I am not gonna be on that dance floor alone, ok?
I need my wing ladies.
I'm not a wing lady anymore. I am a home lady.
I am in.
- Come on, Stella. - Please?
Stella!
Un-huh.
It'll be fun. It'll be an adventure.

It's a Christmas miracle!
Yes! Yeah, it is.

So excited?
If you let go of me.
- Ok. - Alright.
Oh man, the Santa Summit!
I'd always seen these crazy pictures on social media
but I never thought I'd actually get to partake in it.
Well, you moved here at the perfect time.
It's a great opportunity to see downtown.
Hang out with my big bro.
Do a little networking.
Do a little... wait, networking?
Yeah, all these businesses downtown here,
they're always looking for renovations.
I know all these guys, it's just gonna be a quick hello.
Uh huh.
Are you trying to make this a business trip
'cause you wanna write the whole thing off on your taxes?
No. No, I want to introduce them to my newest employee.
My little brother.
But seriously, keep those receipts
'cause we are absolutely writing this off.
That's what I thought.
I just want to make sure that you're prioritizing
fun over business today.
This is the first time since I moved to town
that we've been able to hang out,
just me and you.
Don't worry about it.
My wife's watching the kids
and it's just you and me all day, all night.
This is my vacation, baby.
I'm excited. I'm excited for all this.
You know, I think of my old town,
my old job and this is just a thousand times better for me.
A thousand seems like a slight exaggerations.
Seven hundred times better.
Alright.
Look, I just want to say thank you, again.
You know, when I said I was looking for something new
and you suggested I come out here and work with you,
it meant a lot to me.
Alright, alright, yeah. Yeah, you're welcome.
And I know you don't like it when I get sentimental.
If you know I don't like it then why you gotta do it?
- I gotta do it. - You don't gotta do it.
I love you, Mac.
And I'm uh... fond of you.
I'll take it.

I didn't know it would be so crowded.
Does everyone start here?
I don't know, let's see if it says something.
Oh, ok. The Santa Summit started at Old Richards in 2005
with a simple special, come in dressed as Santa
and receive half off on drinks. - [snores]
Oh, is the history lesson over?
Oh, ha, ha, ha.
Hey, you see that funeral home across the street?
Yeah.
I redid their showroom.
Dude, you should have seen it before.
It was depressing.
Oh, you lightened up the place, did ya?
I did, yeah.
Yeah, I hear people are just dying to get in there.
Oh, that's good. That's good.
You can joke all you want,
but don't be surprised if business owners
bring it up today.
'Cause, you know, it's pretty impressive.
Yeah, well nothing says fun Christmas party
like talking funeral homes and doing business.
Ok, but what you call doing business,
I call sharing some laughs and shaking some hands
and drinking eggnog
and drinking cider and drinking eggnog...
You said eggnog twice.
I really like eggnog.
Good source of protein.
Look, you're gonna have fun, I promise.
Oh, I am definitely having fun, ok?
I'm gonna deck the halls, jingle the bells,
rock out around the Christmas tree.
I just need to make sure you're having fun too.
I don't want you spending all day
trying to win over potential clients.
It's not gonna take me all day if you help out.
Just show 'em that Liam smile.
You mean this one?
Yeah. Yeah, that's the one.
Ok. Alright.
So just a little networking, that's all I ask.
Little networking, lotta fun.
Pow!
Ok, what time does this thing start?
12:00PM.
That's in like five minutes.
You said we weren't gonna be late.
Well, put your beard on.
How long do I have to wear this thing for?
Just put it on. Alright? It's part of the fun.
It's like a masquerade ball.

Ok, come on, let's go.
You go ahead. I'll catch up, ok?
Yeah.
Did anyone lose a purse? A wallet?
Lose something?
Oh my gosh. Oh my... Thank you!
Nah, don't mention it.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Ah!
It's a cool wallet.
Oh, thank you. Actually, I designed it.
What is it?
Your house where you grew up, or?
Oh, no, I wish. No, it's a dream house, really.
I moved a lot growing up
so I never really had a place that felt like home.
Yeah.
So, I figured I would make something
to help me see the dream.
The power of manifestation, you know?
So, what's on it?
Ok, so it's a Spanish style.
Uh huh.
And a little tire swing in front.
I love a good tire swing.
- Right? They're so much fun. - Mmhmm.
And a little bird bath.
Can't have dirty birds in the yard.
No, you cannot. It would not be seemly.
Mmhmm.
And then there's actually a pool out back,
but you just can't see it.
You didn't stitch the back of the house
on the back of the wallet?
You know, now that you say that
I am very embarrassed that I didn't do that.
Well, you are in luck 'cause I build houses.
So, whenever you're ready to make that dream house happen,
let me know.
Well, wait... promise?
Santa's honor.
Is that a Christmas tree?
- This? - Yeah.
Ah, no, but I should doodle maybe like a little star on top.
Just for today.
That would be very festive, actually.
Yeah. It's a pine tree.
Oh. Why a pine tree?
I'm a builder so I work with wood a lot.
Pine is a soft wood but it's more durable than most.
Oh.
- Let me explain. - Ok.
Uh, the last couple years I've been working in my hometown
for a company that buys old houses
and fixes them up.
Oh, are you the fixer?
I'm a fixer!
You're a fixer. Ok.
But, you know, I just found myself
working too hard, you know? Fixing too much.
Mm.
And I got burnt out,
so, I wanted to switch things up, you know?
Yeah.
Make room for something new.
So how'd you do that?
I made time for things in life that I love.
Like talking to family, or traveling.
Or revealing your soul to complete strangers.
[chucking]
Yeah. Yeah, that too.
And so, you know, eventually I found myself here.
You know, new town, new job. New perspective.
It's been quite a ride.
Honestly, I cannot imagine how tough it must be
to just pick everything up
and start all over again. It just, it sounds so scary.
It was scary.
Opening yourself up is always scary.
But it's the only way to let something good in, you know?
So, uh, that's why I got this three weeks ago.
Oh.
To remind me that, you know,
vulnerability doesn't mean sacrificing durability.
Ok. Let me get this straight.
You are a guy who rescues women's wallets...
Mmhm.
And allows himself to be vulnerable.
Oh, it's easy, you know? Bearing your soul to a stranger.
You may never see them again.
That'd be a real shame.
Yeah.
In this case, I think it would be.

Best spot in here, am I right?

What do you call it?
Herd mentality.

from rolling into the back of my head.
You've done an impressive job
of shaving off all that green fur, Mr. Grinch.

What?
Loud parties.
A loud party also 'causes his heart to grow

Wow.

Where have you been?

Oh, those exist?
Yeah, apparently.
Well, what happened?
Ok. So, he found my wallet and then we got to talking.
But I just don't know what his face looks like
because we had our beards on.
You didn't see his face?
No.
What's his name?
Oh. You know what? I don't know.
Great start.
No, um, okay, but we walked in together.
And he was gonna buy me a drink
but then we got separated because it's so crowded in here.
You're telling me.
Oh, but you know what? He has a tattoo.
Yeah, of a pine tree. Under his sleeve.
Yeesh.
Right here. So that's helpful.
That's gonna be like finding a needle in a Santa stack.
Just keep on walking. Alright, thanks.
- Hey! - Hey.
Saved you a seat.
I had to beat up a Santa for it, so...
- I met a girl. - What?
I know.
Ok, tell me about her.
Who is she, what does she look like?
I don't know. We had our beards on.
Wait, why aren't you wearing yours?
Dude, I'm drinking eggnog.
You know how hard it is to get eggnog out of a beard?
Why didn't take your beard off
when you were talking to her?
Because you said it was like a masquerade ball.
I thought it was required.
Ok, fine. So, you got her name, right?
- No. - Number?
- No. - Good start.
But where's Ava?
I don't know, she went to... Oh! Hey! Speaking of...

The lines are so long, it is literally impossible.
Oh it's so weird.
Couldn't find him.
Well, Jordin found a guy.
What?
Yeah, no, but I lost him.
'Cause I don't know, it just, it all happened so fast, so...
You are gonna find him again.
Ok, but how?
Because tonight is a very, very special night.
There's romance in the air.
Yeah, nothing says romance
like a bunch of randos crammed in a pub.
Ok.
Look, if you two are meant to share something special,
he will find you.
Ok. Ok, you know what?
You're right. You're right.
See, I knew that tonight would be an adventure.
I told you.
Alright. [clears throat] Finish that cocoa.
Let's blow this Santa stack.
Wait, no, no, no. What if my Santa's still here?
What if he's moved on?
Oh. Ok, that's a good point.
What's the next stop?
Harbor Sushi.
You know maybe they'll be eggnog with a wasabi rim.
Yum.

Oh, hey, hey, hey!

It is about a mile to the next stop after that one.
Now, wouldn't it make more sense

Yeah. Yeah, it would.
I know Christmas... kind of.
So what's after Harbor Sushi?
Oh, ok, after Harbor Sushi
we go to Nashville's, the country western bar,
and then we go to Katy's Hill for some sledding.
Sledding?
What is this, the Winter Olympics?
There's no sledding in the Winter Olympics.
There is bobsledding.
Bobsledding isn't sledding.
Tell that to the guys from Cool Runnings.
Who?
Cool Runnings?!
Ok, ok, and then we go to the Santa sing-along
and after that we go to the Den.
What's that?
Ok, so it's this cool warehouse club
where apparently they are doing a silent disco.
Oh, now that is the best kind of disco, if you ask me.
Are you done?
Okay and then they're also doing gingerbread house making
for those that are not so into dancing.
I love gingerbread houses.
I love not dancing!
Ok, and then, then finally we go to Brady Park
for the tree lighting ceremony and the live concert.
Oh wait, no, sorry, followed shortly thereafter
by Stella's favorite part of the whole Santa Summit.
What?

- In the... ok. - Yes.
Yeah.
- There. - Oh, cool.
- Wow! - And then this.
- Ah! - So cool.
Wowza.
He's not here.
How can you think about a guy when there are
little miniature in volcanos in front of your face?
Because he's sensitive and sweet and...
Oh, those eyes.
You guys, I am telling you.
There was a spark between us that I have not felt in
like I don't even know how long.
Ok, let's just be honest here, for a minute.
I mean, you just spoke to him for what, a couple minutes?
Yeah.
Didn't see his face, you don't know his name.
I mean you can't even Google him
to see if he has a criminal record.
Well, that's true.
I think it's exciting.
What is?
You get the three of us together like old times
and something good happens to you right away.
It's an omen.
It's a sign ok, that tonight is going to be
a very magical night.
I don't mean to rain on your parade,
I just think that maybe it might be best
to just keep a level head about this.
Yes, ok, there is a chance that wherever he is tonight
he's not even thinking about me.
The wallet had her dream house sewn onto it.
I mean, she's artistic.
And, she knows what she wants, you know?
And those eyes, I'm telling you.
There was a spark between us that I haven't felt in ages.
So, like I was saying.
The rates of other contractors in town versus us,
there's no comparison.
So, you know, if you're looking around your pub
and you're thinking something is a little more old and worn out
then you'd like it to be, think of me. [chuckles]
Ain't that right, Liam?
That's right, when you think of old and worn out,
think of my brother.
[chuckles]
- [thuds] - Oh! Ow.
Anyhoo. Here's my card.
Enjoy the rest of the Summit.
It's a great party, as always.
Hey, can I also get a receipt for these drinks?
What was that?
You asked if I had any thoughts.
That was one of my thoughts.
About renovations!
This guy doesn't care about some girl you just met.
She's not...
Ok, look. I'm sorry, ok?
I haven't met a girl in a while where things just, they clicked.
And I guess I got carried away. I want to help you, I do.
I'm excited we're working together
and, I mean, you gave me the job.
You helped me.
Please, it's nothing.
No, it's not nothing. It's something.
Doing nothing would be nothing. This is... this is something.
You're right.
There it is.
You said she's not. She's not what?
She's not just... some girl.
[gasps] Yes!
Finally.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Okay. [clears throat] What do we think this one is?
Partridge in a pear.
Ah. Yeah, okay, I understand that.
That explains, actually.
This one...
Five golden rings. That's pretty clever.
One ring to rule them all.
No, no, no. You can't do
the Lord of the Rings thing or you can't get the cookie.
Don't...
Yeah. Fine, I'll eat this one.
Ok, Jordin. Jordin. Earth to Jordin.
Yeah.
Ok, I know Ava is
the mathematician here, not me, obviously,
but I think the odds of you randomly finding
the love of your life here, it's just, it's incredibly thin.
Aw. You don't need to be such a Grinch.
That's funny, that's what I called her.
[chuckles]
Oh, no.
Is this your friend?
No.
Just met him randomly an hour ago.
Oh.
And he calls you a Grinch. I like him already.
Don't you have, you know, friends
that you can be bothering instead of me and my friends?
Well they work in the event. I'll meet up with them later.
Hey, nice artwork.
Thanks.
Anyways, if you see any empty seat here I'll be happy to move.
Uh, hey, anyone wanna switch?
Turns out the only empty seat in the house is by you.
It's a Christmas miracle.
Bah humbug.
I'm Freddie. I didn't catch your name.
It's Stella.
Stella. You look like a Stella.
What does a Stella look like?
Like someone trying really hard
to pretend they aren't having fun
even though the cookie crumbs on her Santa suit
suggest otherwise.
[laughs]
So what do you do, Stella? Tell me.
[sighs]
We're all teachers.
She's art, she's math, I'm English.
That's great.
She's not really English. She taught music till this year.
Oh, and she has the most beautiful singing voice.
[Stella] No, no, no.
[Jordin] Yes, she does.
[Freddie] Really?
[Jordin] Yeah.
Well, it's the perfect night to sing some carols.
Bring some of that Christmas spirit to everybody.
The Christmas cheer.
Yeah, as much as I would just love to stay and chat with you
about the Christmas spirit,
we actually, um, we need to get going
if we want to get to Nashvilles. So, let's um...
You want to go to Nashvilles?
Yes. I want to go to Nashvilles.
You said you didn't.
No, I wanted to go to- that's all I want to do.
I just want to go to Nashvilles and get my dancing boots on.
Well, if I don't see you again, have a merry Christmas.
Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, you too.
- Nice to meet you. - Nice meeting you.
Bye.
Wow, ok. You got out of there in a hurry.
Well, you know, the one thing I cant stand is people who...
Is what? People who have fun?
People who encourage you to have a good time?
People.
Ok, you know what? Speaking of fun.
Um, excuse me?
Hi. Is there anyway you could take us to Nashvilles?
Yeah, sure. Hop on in.
[Stella] Really?
Here we go.
[Jordin] Woo!
[Stella] Is this safe? This doesn't look...
Wait, was that Ben? I think that was Ben.
Stop the carriage.
Really? Was he wearing a Santa outfit?
Yes, he...
Ok. Do you need me to stop?
Argh! No.
I don't wanna lose you guys.
I'm not gonna be able to find you all night.
Ok. No, you're right, no.
I've already lost one person tonight,
I am not gonna lose another.
Yeah.
Probably just some other hot Santa anyway.
'Cause I could just turn around...
No, no, no. We're not stopping.
Has that guy Freddie really got you that rattled?
I'm not rattled.
No, you're not rattled 'cause we're having fun.
'Cause we're all together. Right?
- Yes. - Fun.
So I'm going?
Yes.

Frozen.

Hey.
Man, these are like works of art.
Uh-huh.
Dude that owns this place

Oh, wow.
So, uh, you know, I got a call from SpaceX.
They offered me this huge contract
to build a colony on Mars.
Oh yeah? Is it open-concept?
I'm sorry.
I just have this feeling that she's close, you know?
Well I have these eyeballs that tell me it's gonna be impossible
to find her in a place like this.
You don't even know anything about her.
I do, okay? I do.
I know she likes tacos and I know she likes Casablanca.
That doesn't help us at all.
And she has the wallet with the needlepoint house sewn onto it.
Hey, I know her.
You do?
- Yeah. The needlepoint wallet? - Yeah.
I just met her. She's an art teacher.
She was here, you know, before you guys got here.
Yeah, uh, when did she leave?
Two minutes ago, three tops.
[sighs] Thank you.
You're welcome.
Thank you!

Thanks a lot, pal.
You're welcome. Merry Christmas.

Hey, Liam, hey! Where are you going?

She's only three-minutes ahead. I'm going to catch her.
How? How are we gonna find her?
You don't even know what she looks like.
I know, I know.
Our entire life, you've always gone out of your way
to help people, right?
Yeah, and me and mom and today this girl with the wallet.
You help random strangers on the street.
And I'm trying to reach that level, I really am.
It's one of the reasons why
I wanted you to come out and work with me.
I knew that if the shoe was on the other foot,
that you'd do the same thing.
So I do want to help. I really, really do.
I just... I don't want you to get invested
if the odds of finding this girl are a thousand to one.
A thousand seems like a bit of an exaggeration.
Ok, 700.
So you're saying there's a chance.
Look, if you want to help me out then lets go to the next spot.
We can meet with these owners whenever we want.
Today is the only chance I get to find her.

Please do not dive out of the carriage.
We're not.
Hey, you have Ben's number. so why don't you just text him?
- I did. - Yeah.
He hasn't texted me back.
Why isn't he texting me back?
Maybe his phone's on silent.
Yeah, or maybe he's out having a boy's day.
Yeah, maybe he's just not that into me.
No.
You know, a non-response is a form of a response.
- Who is talking to you? - Really?
Anyway, it's driving me crazy. You know, the not knowing.
I mean, is it all in my head or maybe he's just shy, or...
Is it... ugh. Maybe I should.
Maybe you should what?
Maybe I should tell him that I'm in love with him.
I have been for years now.
What if he doesn't feel the same?
[sighs] Yeah.
I've been scared of that since I met him.
I mean, I thought, he's not gonna be interested.
I thought we'll just be friends. That'll be that.
But, that wasn't that. Actually made it worse, really.
He's so nice and he always makes me feel like
the only person in the room
and I just... I can't keep interpreting looks
and texts and silences and wondering what he's thinking.
I have to get it all out there.
You know, once and for all, just good or bad.
Hey, good for you.
How will I know if it's like the perfect moment?
Well...
The world will go into slow motion.
It'll feel like everything else melts away
except for the two of you.
And you'll look into his eyes...
and you'll feel like crying
'cause you've never seen anything so beautiful.
And you'll never want that moment to end.
That's it, that's the moment.
Wow, that was really beautiful.
That was pretty good, actually.

'Cause I bailed on it.
I found your girl.
You what?
You found her?
Hold on...
You bailed on the owner of Nashvilles
to help me find my mystery girl?
Yeah. Don't remind me.
Thank you.
How did you know it was her?
Well, I saw her wallet. Needlepoint, just like you said.
And where did, where did she go?
Well, she paid up her tab and then she took off, I guess.
Well, lets...

Let's go find her.

Let's go!
Here you go. Merry Christmas!
Oh, yes. Food.
Pizza?
Yes, great idea.
Okay, what do we got on this menu here.
Santa's slice.
What's a Christmas pizza?
It's a pizza shaped as a snowman.
Yeah, duh. Come on.
How was I supposed to know that.
Sorry.
So what should we do?
Just start yelling "needlepoint wallet"
and see who turns their head?
No. If someone screamed "needlepoint wallet"
everyone would turn their head.
It's a weird thing for someone to yell.
Yeah, alright.
Oh man, this is exciting. [chuckles]
You know, I got married right out of college...
I live in a town full of married people.
And I haven't been a winger in years.
You mean wingman. This is not hockey, right?
Duh.
- So, wingman. - [both chuckle]
You make the call.
You think she's still here or at the next spot?
Next spot.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Ok.
Plus I'm better at sledding than dancing.
- That's great. - Alright.
I think I see some seats over there.
Ah!
Three seats. How perfect.
Here we go.
Ah.
You still want half a pizza?
Oh, yes, absolutely.
Then that leaves two eights for each of us, or one quarter.
Now, by my count there are 31 total pepperonis
so we'll divide evenly and we'll each
get 10.33 repeating.
We can just split one of them three ways...
Only you can make pizza into a math equation.
Oh, pizza is literally one big pie chart.
I mean, it is the most
mathematical food there is, so...
Well, maybe lay off the mathematics
when you confess your love to Ben.
Why? I like math.
I need to be with someone who likes that I like math.
Well, does Ben like that you like math?
Yeah. I think so.
Because he asks about my class and my cats.
Guess I've always wondered if he'd like want to go to coffee
or maybe take me to a movie, but he hasn't asked, yet,
so, I guess, I just didn't know if he wanted to
or maybe if he would want to come LARPing with me or...
I'm sorry, did you say "LARPing"?
Yeah, LARPing. Live action role playing.
- Oh. - I don't know.
I go every weekend.
I didn't know that you were doing that.
Yeah, well I tried to get us all together
like late this summer a couple of times
but you were, you know, you were going through your breakup
and you found out you weren't teaching music anymore
and I just, I didn't want to, I didn't want to keep
bothering you guys to hang out if you didn't feel up to it.
Hey, hey, look.
I need you to know that it is not that
I didn't want to hang out with you.
Yeah. Ava, come on.
It's just been a...
it's been a tough couple months, that's all.
Uh, I don't know if the two of you have noticed,
but I have been a little teensy little bit grumpy lately.
No. You?
I really loved teaching music.
And then budgets get cut and electives get slashed
and now I spend every day trying to get teenagers
to care about The Great Gatsby.
And I... I don't care about The Great Gatsby.
I don't really like it either.
I'm just...
I'm afraid that if I hope for something good that it-
I'm just gonna get let down again.
So, uh, sometimes it's just safer to be a grump.
I'm sorry.
You know, my mystery Santa that I met,
he told me that vulnerability
doesn't necessitate a lack of durability.
Uh, a person said that to you in a five-minute conversation?
A man?
Ooof! Sounds like a keeper.
Yeah.
It's literally what I've been saying.
Oh, my tummy hurts.
I think this is too much Christmas for me.
Sure its not the cookies and the pizza?
Also the eggnog and the line dancing.
Oh, I'm not sure, but there is a way to find out.
Just give me a little bit more pizza!
Hey! That's my 2/8ths!
- No! - No, no!
- Fine, you can have an 1/8th. - Thank you.
You guys, we should have never stopped going out like this.
I mean, really think about everything
that we probably missed just over the last couple months.
We could have probably already found that... thing.
You know, the thing that turns things around?
But I found that thing. They're called sweatpants.
Or gym shorts.
Basically anything Adam Sandler is wearing in a paparazzi photo.
Uh, ok, I don't know.
I just, I keep thinking about it
and playing the conversation in my head over and over again
and, I don't know, I'm pretty sure that that guy
that I met tonight, my mystery Santa,
I think that he might be my thing.
Oh?
He's like your sweatpants.
Yeah. He is my sweatpants.
He's my sweatpants.
And you know what, even if he's not.
Even if I never find him, or we never find Ben,
or you know, Stella's Christmas spirit...
The most illusive target of them all, really?
I mean, isn't it really just the possibility
that matters the most? Right?
You know that something so,
I don't know, something so fantastic can happen tonight
that can just change the course of our lives forever.
I mean, come on, you guys.
It's actually really crazy to think about it.
Yeah, the word "crazy" does come to mind.
Okay.
We made it out tonight, right?
That was a first step.
Mmhmm.
And now the universe is going to reward us.
All three of us, I can feel it. Ok?
I can feel it.
I feel it too.
Yes!
Alright, come on. Bring it in for a group hug.
Not a chance. Mmhmm.
Ok, fine. Then we're coming to you.
No, no, my 1/8th! My 1/8th!
Oh, hey, can I just, do you mind if I...
Uh, sorry, I shouldn't have done that.
Sorry!
Alright, hey, so I've asked around.
No needlepoint wallets.
Just keep googling art teachers in the area and you'll find her.
Oh, come on, man.
We don't even know what grade she teaches.
Do you know how many schools are in a city like this?
You got an elementary school, a high school, middle school...
That's assuming she's even local.
She could be from a different county.
And, we still don't know what she looks like.
It's like a romantic Where's Waldo.
Now Waldo had a different outfit than everyone else.
This is way harder than Where's Waldo.
Ok, so you've looked at, what, a dozen or two?
You'll recognize her when you see her.
How do you know?
Alright, you have a connection with her, right?
Yeah.
You, uh, fell for her even without seeing her face?
Yeah.
Yeah, you fell for a girl with a big bushy beard.
Hey! Everyone has a type, ok?
You do have a type, it's true.
Oh!
Woah, woah, I don't know.
I hope so.
Gosh, there's something about her eyes.
Alright. I'll race you up top.

Well, I didn't know your name.
I said that you were an art teacher

I'm just gonna get some hot cocoa, so you, you go in.

Ok, you actually meant a silent disco.

DJ Ginger Jeff and the Fresh Pine are here
to serve some hot, out of the oven baked beats.
So I best get on my oven mitt
because this next beat is about to.... drop.
[horns blaring]
Can you lay off the horn?!
Hey, I know you.
I took you and your friends to Nashvilles.
Oh, yeah, yeah, hi.
Did your other friend, did she confess her love yet?
You know, it might be happening right now as we speak.
- I love it. - Yeah.
And, you know, our other friend, Stella, she uh...
she sang for the first time tonight in like years.
That sounds amazing.
Yeah, you know, and speaking of amazing,
I actually got to see my ex
serenade his new girlfriend there,
so yeah that was, uh... really fun.
Yikes.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
I kind of thought that tonight would be like a going out party.
Just me and my girlfriends, right?
Having fun and having a bunch of adventures.
And, you met them, right?
Yeah.
So, I mean, you can imagine that this is not their scene,
like at all.
But you know what? They're doing it.
They are really putting themselves out there
and the universe is just now rewarding them
with all of these amazing, magical moments
and I actually thought
that I has one of those magical moments earlier.
I met a guy.
A guy.
But then we got separated
before we even got each other's names.
And it just feels like the universe had rolled out
this red carpet to happiness and then just, whoosh, you know?
Yeah.
Yanked it right from under me, so yeah, just,
between my ex and my best friends,
it kind of feels like everyone else is out there
finding their thing and nothing feels lonelier
than when everyone else around you is having fun
and you are alone on the dance floor.
Ok, listen, I can be a little too quick
to butt into people's business, so by all means, you just...
But lady, hey, hey, hey! You gotta snap out of it, ok?
What? What do you mean?
I mean, you got your friends here supporting you.
You got... you got hot cocoa, you got excitement.
What on Earth is there to be sad about?
I don't know,
I thought that tonight was gonna go one way...
Oh.
And gonna be amazing,
and now it just doesn't feel like that's gonna happen.
Ok, but why would you be so upset about losing some guy?
I mean, it's not that hard to find a mutual attraction
with another person.
But finding friends, like, real friends,
like the ones that you got,
I mean, that's... that's like finding-
Needle in a Santa stack.
Well, sure.
Ok, look, it's not just some guy, okay?
It wasn't a mutual attraction,
it was a real, genuine connection.
You know, the path to finding a great partner, that...
[sighs] That doesn't come from the universe.
It doesn't come from your friends.
It comes from within.
You don't become happy because you found love.
You find love because you're already happy.
So he is not my sweatpants.
No. No, I have to be my own sweatpants.
What is happening right now?
Listen, seems like you're really having a moment here,
so I'm totally with it, ok?
Oh my... thank you!
Hey, where are you going?
I, um... I'm gonna go inside. I'm gonna go dance.

Thank you. You are a very wise reindeer.

Obviously.
All the little things and, um,

You are my biggest slice.
You're smart and you're kind
and you always make time to say hello
and make me feel special,
even if you're in the middle of a conversation
and, and, and you're smiling
so that's good because I'm... I'm building to something.
Something that I wanted to say because...
it's Christmas and that something is...
I love you.
I love you and I don't know how to say it as eloquently
