[reporter]: It's
officially Christmas time

13
00:00:38,734 --> 00:00:40,040
here at
the Radcliffe Center,

14
00:00:40,083 --> 00:00:41,911
and all of Chicago
is gathered

15
00:00:41,954 --> 00:00:42,912
to watch the lighting

16
00:00:42,955 --> 00:00:44,392
of the Radcliffe
Christmas tree,

17
00:00:44,435 --> 00:00:46,002
and here with us,

18
00:00:46,046 --> 00:00:48,874
we have Chicago's
very own "Miss Christmas."

19
00:00:48,918 --> 00:00:50,963
You can call me Holly.

20
00:00:51,007 --> 00:00:51,921
Oh, Holly,
and you are the one to thank

21
00:00:51,964 --> 00:00:53,357
for that stunning tree.

22
00:00:53,401 --> 00:00:56,099
We are only moments away
now from the lighting,

23
00:00:56,143 --> 00:00:58,101
and Holly is
the creative director

24
00:00:58,145 --> 00:00:59,494
for the Radcliffe Center,

25
00:00:59,537 --> 00:01:01,800
and each year,
she finds, transports,

26
00:01:01,844 --> 00:01:03,019
and facilitates

27
00:01:03,063 --> 00:01:05,674
decorating Chicago's
Christmas tree.

28
00:01:05,717 --> 00:01:07,110
It's a dream job come true.

29
00:01:07,154 --> 00:01:08,981
[crowd]: Nine, eight, seven,

30
00:01:09,025 --> 00:01:10,461
six, five...

31
00:01:10,505 --> 00:01:12,115
Here we go!

32
00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:14,204
[crowd]:
Three, two, one!

33
00:01:14,248 --> 00:01:15,814
[cheering]

34
00:01:23,561 --> 00:01:25,389
[reporter]:
Isn't that beautiful?

35
00:01:25,433 --> 00:01:28,131
Chicago's symbol of Christmas.

36
00:01:28,175 --> 00:01:30,002
[over TV recording]:
I have no doubt

37
00:01:30,046 --> 00:01:33,528
that next year's tree will be
bigger and better than ever.

38
00:01:33,571 --> 00:01:34,920
No pressure.

39
00:01:34,964 --> 00:01:37,314
I can't believe a
year's gone by already.

40
00:01:37,358 --> 00:01:38,881
For once in my life,

41
00:01:38,924 --> 00:01:40,056
I thought I made it
to the office before you.

42
00:01:40,100 --> 00:01:41,492
There's always tomorrow.

43
00:01:41,536 --> 00:01:43,712
Thanks. You're a lifesaver.

44
00:01:43,755 --> 00:01:45,627
Today is definitely
a coffee kind of day.

45
00:01:45,670 --> 00:01:47,019
I did not get
any sleep last night,

46
00:01:47,063 --> 00:01:47,933
and I have a million
things to do.

47
00:01:47,977 --> 00:01:49,239
Is one of those things

48
00:01:49,283 --> 00:01:50,806
watching last year's
tree ceremony

49
00:01:50,849 --> 00:01:52,242
for the hundredth time?

50
00:01:52,286 --> 00:01:54,244
You know how happy
it makes me,

51
00:01:54,288 --> 00:01:56,246
and right now, I need
all the reassurance I can get.

52
00:01:56,290 --> 00:01:57,639
Holly, relax.

53
00:01:57,682 --> 00:02:00,772
I just spoke with transport,
and all is good.

54
00:02:00,816 --> 00:02:03,079
They've secured the trunk.
They're about ready to cut.

55
00:02:03,123 --> 00:02:04,124
The tree will be here
by tonight.

56
00:02:04,167 --> 00:02:05,125
Yeah, fingers crossed.

57
00:02:05,168 --> 00:02:05,908
[phone rings]

58
00:02:05,951 --> 00:02:07,518
Hello?

59
00:02:07,562 --> 00:02:09,651
Okay, yeah, yeah,
I'll be right there.

60
00:02:13,437 --> 00:02:14,699
I still think
I should've gone out there.

61
00:02:14,743 --> 00:02:15,744
I always go...

62
00:02:15,787 --> 00:02:17,093
And run yourself ragged,

63
00:02:17,137 --> 00:02:18,138
and micro-manage
everything,

64
00:02:18,181 --> 00:02:19,574
and end up exhausted

65
00:02:19,617 --> 00:02:21,053
and unable to enjoy
the tree lighting ceremony.

66
00:02:21,097 --> 00:02:22,359
Yeah.

67
00:02:22,403 --> 00:02:23,839
That's my Christmas
tradition.

68
00:02:23,882 --> 00:02:26,363
Why don't we find
a new tradition this year?

69
00:02:26,407 --> 00:02:28,409
Like what?

70
00:02:28,452 --> 00:02:30,193
Like getting
out of our comfort zone,

71
00:02:30,237 --> 00:02:31,673
back on the market?

72
00:02:31,716 --> 00:02:33,153
I got us two tickets

73
00:02:33,196 --> 00:02:34,676
to a speed dating event.

74
00:02:34,719 --> 00:02:36,373
[squeals]

75
00:02:36,417 --> 00:02:37,635
Do you have anything else
to wear, though?

76
00:02:37,679 --> 00:02:38,941
'Cause it looks

77
00:02:38,984 --> 00:02:40,682
like Mrs. Claus
chose your outfit again.

78
00:02:40,725 --> 00:02:42,118
I think you should be
a little nicer

79
00:02:42,162 --> 00:02:43,946
to someone who brings you coffee
every morning

80
00:02:43,989 --> 00:02:45,208
and who is your boss...

81
00:02:47,210 --> 00:02:49,908
and I appreciate you
thinking of me, but no.

82
00:02:49,952 --> 00:02:52,215
Look, I have to be here
for when the tree arrives,

83
00:02:52,259 --> 00:02:53,651
and I've so much to do.

84
00:02:53,695 --> 00:02:55,305
All you do is work.

85
00:02:55,349 --> 00:02:56,350
That's not true.

86
00:02:56,393 --> 00:02:57,525
I do other things.

87
00:02:57,568 --> 00:02:58,743
Yeah?

88
00:02:58,787 --> 00:03:01,181
-Like what?
-Like...

89
00:03:01,224 --> 00:03:02,312
like Christmas!

90
00:03:02,356 --> 00:03:03,661
-Oh.
-Okay?

91
00:03:03,705 --> 00:03:05,010
And after the Radcliffe
tree arrives,

92
00:03:05,054 --> 00:03:06,664
I'm going to go home
and decorate my tree.

93
00:03:06,708 --> 00:03:08,449
There's 24 more days
until Christmas.

94
00:03:08,492 --> 00:03:09,841
I know,
and I'm running out of time.

95
00:03:09,885 --> 00:03:11,669
Listen, Erin,

96
00:03:11,713 --> 00:03:13,018
I appreciate
your ongoing meddling

97
00:03:13,062 --> 00:03:14,063
into my personal life,

98
00:03:14,106 --> 00:03:15,673
but I'm a little
busy right now,

99
00:03:15,717 --> 00:03:17,762
orchestrating
cutting down...

100
00:03:17,806 --> 00:03:19,242

A 95-foot-tall spruce

101
00:03:19,286 --> 00:03:20,417
and getting it trucked
across the state.

102
00:03:20,461 --> 00:03:21,636
-Really?
-I'm sorry.

103
00:03:21,679 --> 00:03:23,246
I just...

104
00:03:23,290 --> 00:03:24,813
I want to see you
spend the holidays with someone.

105
00:03:24,856 --> 00:03:26,293
And I want that too.

106
00:03:26,336 --> 00:03:27,816
It's just...

107
00:03:27,859 --> 00:03:29,165
I'm busy right now,

108
00:03:29,209 --> 00:03:30,688
and I'm trying
to focus on my career.

109
00:03:30,732 --> 00:03:31,907
Dating takes time,

110
00:03:31,950 --> 00:03:34,039
and it's really
distracting.

111
00:03:34,083 --> 00:03:36,172
I just want to get my career
to where it needs to be,

112
00:03:36,216 --> 00:03:37,391
and then...

113
00:03:37,434 --> 00:03:38,392
you know...

114
00:03:38,435 --> 00:03:39,871
we'll see.

115
00:03:39,915 --> 00:03:42,265
Wouldn't it be nice
to bring a date

116
00:03:42,309 --> 00:03:43,832
to the tree lighting
ceremony?

117
00:03:43,875 --> 00:03:46,182
I just want there
to be a tree lighting ceremony.

118
00:03:46,226 --> 00:03:48,532
Everything is on schedule.
What could possibly go wrong?

Holly!

120
00:03:54,364 --> 00:03:55,974
Um...

121
00:03:57,802 --> 00:03:58,716
Did you see this?

122
00:03:58,760 --> 00:03:59,804
Oh...

123
00:03:59,848 --> 00:04:01,371
Uh...

124
00:04:01,415 --> 00:04:03,808
[gasps]
What happened?

125
00:04:03,852 --> 00:04:06,333
It looks
like the crane swiped it,

126
00:04:06,376 --> 00:04:07,725
breaking off the branches...

127
00:04:07,769 --> 00:04:10,075
Rendering it unusable.
It's ruined.

128
00:04:10,119 --> 00:04:12,295
No, it's not
ruined. It's...

129
00:04:14,210 --> 00:04:16,343
Okay, it's ruined.
Um...

130
00:04:16,386 --> 00:04:17,779
but it's going
to be fine.

131
00:04:17,822 --> 00:04:19,041
We can fix this.

132
00:04:19,084 --> 00:04:20,129
How?

133
00:04:20,172 --> 00:04:21,130
I...

134
00:04:23,132 --> 00:04:24,742
I'm going to find
another tree.

135
00:04:24,786 --> 00:04:26,266
Find another...?

136
00:04:26,309 --> 00:04:28,833
You just spent all year
finding this tree.

137
00:04:28,877 --> 00:04:30,531
How are you going
to find another tree

138
00:04:30,574 --> 00:04:32,489
and get it here
and get it decorated

139
00:04:32,533 --> 00:04:33,664
in time for the
tree-lighting ceremony

140
00:04:33,708 --> 00:04:36,101
in 10 days?

141
00:04:36,145 --> 00:04:37,755
Thank you, Andrea.

142
00:04:37,799 --> 00:04:39,496
That's very helpful.

143
00:04:41,455 --> 00:04:43,457
[whispering to self]
Okay, focus, Holly.

144
00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:45,328
You are Miss Christmas.

145
00:04:45,372 --> 00:04:46,634
[normal voice]
I am Miss Christmas.

146
00:04:46,677 --> 00:04:48,244
This is what I do,

147
00:04:48,288 --> 00:04:50,768
and I am going
to figure this out.

148
00:04:52,901 --> 00:04:54,294
Apparently, yes. Yeah.

149
00:05:15,489 --> 00:05:18,622
You know, maybe
this is a good thing.

150
00:05:18,666 --> 00:05:22,974
Yeah, that tree was beautiful,
but it never felt right.

151
00:05:23,018 --> 00:05:26,804
It never felt like "the" tree.

152
00:05:26,848 --> 00:05:28,371
Maybe this happened
for a reason.

153
00:05:28,415 --> 00:05:31,722
Are you actually finding
the silver lining?

154
00:05:31,766 --> 00:05:33,463
My dad always said,

155
00:05:33,507 --> 00:05:35,596
"When things go wrong,
don't go with them."

156
00:05:35,639 --> 00:05:37,511
I know the perfect
tree is out there,

157
00:05:37,554 --> 00:05:39,034
and I'm going to find it.

158
00:05:39,077 --> 00:05:40,252
Clear my schedule.

159
00:05:40,296 --> 00:05:41,384
But what about
the speed dating?

160
00:05:41,428 --> 00:05:43,908
Maybe you can find
your perfect man.

161
00:05:43,952 --> 00:05:45,519
The only thing that's harder

162
00:05:45,562 --> 00:05:46,781
than finding
the perfect Christmas tree

163
00:05:46,824 --> 00:05:49,566
is finding the perfect man,

164
00:05:49,610 --> 00:05:51,873
but at least the perfect tree
really does exist.

00:05:57,531 --> 00:05:58,880

We have spent hours

166

How about these?

168
00:06:03,363 --> 00:06:04,407
You've looked through those
already.

169
00:06:04,451 --> 00:06:06,366
What haven't I looked through?

170
00:06:06,409 --> 00:06:07,584
You've looked
through everything.

171
00:06:09,847 --> 00:06:11,414
There has to be something.

[gasps]

173
00:06:14,852 --> 00:06:16,158
What about
the tree submissions

174
00:06:16,201 --> 00:06:17,464
we got in the mail?

in all year.

176
00:06:23,470 --> 00:06:25,036
Oh.

177
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,821
Yeah. Guess I'm not going
speed dating tonight.

178
00:06:26,864 --> 00:06:29,040
No, no, no. You go.
I got this.

179
00:06:29,084 --> 00:06:30,302
Are you sure?

180
00:06:30,346 --> 00:06:32,043
Yeah. Definitely, yes.

181
00:06:32,087 --> 00:06:34,437
Definitely, yeah.

182
00:06:34,481 --> 00:06:36,526
Well, it is
the season of miracles.

you were also
the best-looking dog...

knew that, didn't we?

00:14:52,239 --> 00:14:53,936
but today, I'm here
because I'm hoping

368
00:14:53,980 --> 00:14:55,198
you could help me
look for somebody.

369
00:14:55,242 --> 00:14:56,112
Sure.

370
00:14:56,156 --> 00:14:57,113
I'm the Creative Director

371
00:14:57,157 --> 00:14:59,202
at the Radcliffe Center,

372
00:14:59,246 --> 00:15:00,160
and it's my job
to find the tree

373
00:15:00,203 --> 00:15:01,204
that goes in the plaza.

374
00:15:01,248 --> 00:15:03,119
So cool!

375
00:15:03,163 --> 00:15:04,729
We watch that on TV.

376
00:15:04,773 --> 00:15:06,731
I am so looking forward
to this year's tree.

377
00:15:06,775 --> 00:15:09,647
Well, that's actually
why I'm here.

378
00:15:09,691 --> 00:15:12,172
We were looking
for a new tree,

379
00:15:12,215 --> 00:15:15,131
and then I got
this letter.

380
00:15:17,133 --> 00:15:19,179
I know
this is a long shot,

381
00:15:19,222 --> 00:15:21,137
but do you happen
to know Joey McNary?

382
00:15:22,922 --> 00:15:24,749
Not such a long shot.

383
00:15:24,793 --> 00:15:25,881
I'm his aunt.

384
00:15:25,925 --> 00:15:26,795
Come on!

385
00:15:26,838 --> 00:15:28,057
I'm Aimee McNary.

386
00:15:28,101 --> 00:15:28,971
Are you serious?

387
00:15:29,015 --> 00:15:30,973
Wow.

388
00:15:31,017 --> 00:15:31,843
It's a small world.

389
00:15:31,887 --> 00:15:33,497
Oh...

390
00:15:33,541 --> 00:15:35,064
I could introduce you
to his dad, my brother Sam.

391
00:15:35,108 --> 00:15:36,848
Yeah!

392
00:15:36,892 --> 00:15:38,024
How about
I take you to our family farm?

393
00:15:38,067 --> 00:15:39,329
Okay!

394
00:15:54,083 --> 00:15:55,345
Oh, I love
your farm!

395
00:15:55,389 --> 00:15:58,348
It reminds me
of where I grew up.

396
00:15:58,392 --> 00:16:01,047
So many gorgeous trees.

397
00:16:01,090 --> 00:16:02,396
You have such a fun job.

398
00:16:02,439 --> 00:16:04,572
Well, it's harder
than it looks

399
00:16:04,615 --> 00:16:05,877
to find
the perfect Christmas tree.

400
00:16:05,921 --> 00:16:07,444
Why?

401
00:16:07,488 --> 00:16:09,316
Well, in addition
to being the perfect height

402
00:16:09,359 --> 00:16:11,448
and shape and color,

403
00:16:11,492 --> 00:16:14,147
the tree has to have
that X factor,

404
00:16:14,190 --> 00:16:16,105
that star quality.

405
00:16:16,149 --> 00:16:18,325
What's so special
about our tree?

406
00:16:18,368 --> 00:16:21,415
It just feels
meant to be.

407
00:16:21,458 --> 00:16:23,025
I mean,
I get Joey's letter,

408
00:16:23,069 --> 00:16:24,331
and then I bump into you.

409
00:16:24,374 --> 00:16:25,680
That's not the hard part.

410
00:16:25,723 --> 00:16:27,508
Convincing Sam to
give you the tree is.

411
00:16:27,551 --> 00:16:30,380
Well, maybe when I explain
how important the tree is,

412
00:16:30,424 --> 00:16:31,294
the holiday spirit...

413
00:16:31,338 --> 00:16:32,730
Mmm...

414
00:16:32,774 --> 00:16:35,168
Sam isn't exactly
the holiday spirit type.

415
00:16:35,211 --> 00:16:36,430
If he had it
his way,

416
00:16:36,473 --> 00:16:37,344
he'd go straight
from Thanksgiving

417
00:16:37,387 --> 00:16:38,562
to Groundhog Day.

418
00:16:38,606 --> 00:16:39,433
Oh.

419
00:16:39,476 --> 00:16:40,390
Mm-hm.

420
00:16:44,655 --> 00:16:46,005
[Holly]:
What's he doing here?

421
00:16:46,048 --> 00:16:47,571
You know him?

422
00:16:47,615 --> 00:16:49,921
I...

423
00:16:51,749 --> 00:16:53,447
I bumped into him in town.

424
00:16:53,490 --> 00:16:56,493
That's my brother Sam.
That's Joey's dad.

425
00:16:56,537 --> 00:16:57,886
Great.

426
00:16:57,929 --> 00:16:59,409
[Aimee]: Come on.

427
00:17:03,935 --> 00:17:06,460
The Christmas tree farmer
who lives in Chicago.

428
00:17:06,503 --> 00:17:09,506
What's, uh,
what's going on?

429
00:17:09,550 --> 00:17:11,073
You bringing holiday cheer
door to door now?

430
00:17:11,117 --> 00:17:12,292
Something like that.

431
00:17:12,335 --> 00:17:13,728
[chuckling]
Okay.

432
00:17:13,771 --> 00:17:14,816
[Aimee]:
Holly, Sam.

433
00:17:14,859 --> 00:17:16,383
-Sam, Holly.
-Hi.

434
00:17:16,426 --> 00:17:17,862
Hello again.

435
00:17:17,906 --> 00:17:19,951
Um...

436
00:17:19,995 --> 00:17:22,084
I'm here because I work
for the Radcliffe Center.

437
00:17:22,128 --> 00:17:23,477
It's my job
to find the tree

438
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:24,782
that goes in the Center,

439
00:17:24,826 --> 00:17:27,350
and this year,
we want your tree

440
00:17:27,394 --> 00:17:28,308
to be the tree.

441
00:17:28,351 --> 00:17:29,570
You lost me.

442
00:17:43,975 --> 00:17:45,455
I didn't know
that he did this, uh...

443
00:17:47,153 --> 00:17:48,719
[laughs awkwardly]

444
00:17:48,763 --> 00:17:50,547
Um...

445
00:17:50,591 --> 00:17:52,071
I'm sorry.
You can't have this tree.

446
00:17:54,421 --> 00:17:57,380
Uh... this has never happened to
me before.

447
00:17:57,424 --> 00:17:58,686
Um...
okay, well,

448
00:17:58,729 --> 00:18:00,470
maybe you could just
think about it.

449
00:18:00,514 --> 00:18:02,777
I mean, I know you personally
aren't a fan of Christmas,

450
00:18:02,820 --> 00:18:05,214
but so many people are,
and to them,

451
00:18:05,258 --> 00:18:07,651
this tree is a beautiful symbol
of the season.

452
00:18:07,695 --> 00:18:09,088
It's just not
for sale.

453
00:18:09,131 --> 00:18:10,785
Oh, I'm not asking to buy it.

454
00:18:10,828 --> 00:18:12,178
It's donation based,

455
00:18:12,221 --> 00:18:13,396
and most people
are happy to do it.

456
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:14,615
Listen, Holly...

457
00:18:14,658 --> 00:18:16,051
Look, I feel really bad

458
00:18:16,095 --> 00:18:17,226
that you came all this way
from Chicago,

459
00:18:17,270 --> 00:18:19,010
but...

460
00:18:19,054 --> 00:18:20,229
I wish there was something
I could do to help.

461
00:18:20,273 --> 00:18:22,013
I'm so sorry.

462
00:18:23,928 --> 00:18:25,756
It's okay.

463
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,236
I understand.

464
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,673
[phone rings
with "Jingle Bells" ringtone]

465
00:18:29,717 --> 00:18:31,022
Hang on.
Excuse me.

466
00:18:32,589 --> 00:18:33,590
Hello?

467
00:18:33,634 --> 00:18:35,157
So, did you find Joey?

468
00:18:35,201 --> 00:18:36,550
[Holly]:
Yeah, I found him.

469
00:18:36,593 --> 00:18:37,464
So you have the tree?

470
00:18:37,507 --> 00:18:39,205
No.

471
00:18:39,248 --> 00:18:40,293
The owner
doesn't want to donate it.

472
00:18:40,336 --> 00:18:41,337
What?

473
00:18:41,381 --> 00:18:42,512
Did you tell him

474
00:18:42,556 --> 00:18:43,687
that all of Chicago

475
00:18:43,731 --> 00:18:44,906
is expecting

476
00:18:44,949 --> 00:18:45,776
a Christmas tree lighting
ceremony?

477
00:18:45,820 --> 00:18:46,821
Get this...

478
00:18:46,864 --> 00:18:48,257
he doesn't care

479
00:18:48,301 --> 00:18:49,519
about
the tree lighting ceremony.

480
00:18:49,563 --> 00:18:50,564
Excuse me?

481
00:18:50,607 --> 00:18:52,000
Right?

482
00:18:52,043 --> 00:18:53,741
He doesn't even care
about Christmas.

483
00:18:53,784 --> 00:18:55,308
Who is this Grinch?

484
00:18:55,351 --> 00:18:58,180
His name's Sam,
and he's...

485
00:19:02,010 --> 00:19:03,011
[sighs]

486
00:19:03,054 --> 00:19:04,273
a total Grinch.

487
00:19:04,317 --> 00:19:05,883
Well, listen,

488
00:19:05,927 --> 00:19:07,537
the Holly I know
does not take no for an answer.

489
00:19:07,581 --> 00:19:08,495
You can do this.

490
00:19:08,538 --> 00:19:10,279
You really think so?

491
00:19:10,323 --> 00:19:12,020
Well, you have to.
Andrea is not happy,

492
00:19:12,063 --> 00:19:13,064
and the ceremony
is in nine days,

493
00:19:13,108 --> 00:19:14,327
and we do not have
a backup.

494
00:19:14,370 --> 00:19:16,677
Why does everybody
keep telling me that?

495
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,635
Okay...

496
00:19:18,679 --> 00:19:20,333
[whispering]
What am I going to do? Focus.

497
00:19:22,726 --> 00:19:26,121
Okay, Christmas is about
opening our hearts, right?

498
00:19:26,165 --> 00:19:30,299
So I just have to...
open his heart to the idea.

499
00:19:30,343 --> 00:19:32,432
There you go!
That's the Holly I know!

500
00:19:32,475 --> 00:19:33,476
Yeah.

501
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,348
Okay.

502
00:19:35,391 --> 00:19:36,914
I'll call you
when I have the tree.

503
00:19:53,148 --> 00:19:54,193
Sam.

504
00:19:54,236 --> 00:19:55,933
Yeah?

505
00:19:55,977 --> 00:19:57,979
I apologize.
I got ahead of myself,

506
00:19:58,022 --> 00:20:00,242
and I'm not even sure
that this is the tree,

507
00:20:00,286 --> 00:20:02,157
but I came
all this way,

508
00:20:02,201 --> 00:20:03,898
and I'd just like to see it.

509
00:20:03,941 --> 00:20:05,726
There's no harm in
showing it to her.

510
00:20:05,769 --> 00:20:06,857
Uh-- Uh--

511
00:20:08,685 --> 00:20:09,643
You're going
to muck up your boots.

512
00:20:09,686 --> 00:20:10,557
I mean, it's way back there.

513
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,298
Oh.

514
00:20:12,341 --> 00:20:14,300
First rule
of growing up on a farm...

515
00:20:14,343 --> 00:20:15,388
always have sensible shoes.

516
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,397
Wow!

517
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,138
Oh, wow!
It's beautiful!

518
00:20:29,619 --> 00:20:31,273
Oh, it's gorgeous!

519
00:20:32,970 --> 00:20:34,494
It's the perfect height.

520
00:20:34,537 --> 00:20:36,887
The perfect height
for what?

521
00:20:36,931 --> 00:20:39,238
It's tall enough to stand
against the skyscrapers,

522
00:20:39,281 --> 00:20:41,327
but short enough to be trucked
through the city.

523
00:20:41,370 --> 00:20:42,371
Wow.

524
00:20:45,374 --> 00:20:48,682
It's absolutely perfect.

525
00:20:48,725 --> 00:20:49,683
I know.

526
00:20:49,726 --> 00:20:51,293
You know,

527
00:20:51,337 --> 00:20:52,381
I've been around trees
my whole life,

528
00:20:52,425 --> 00:20:55,645
and I haven't seen many
like this.

529
00:20:55,689 --> 00:20:57,908
It's... truly special.

530
00:20:59,475 --> 00:21:00,694
It's right.

531
00:21:00,737 --> 00:21:02,173
Yup.
Right here.

532
00:21:04,175 --> 00:21:05,394
Sam, if you were to say yes,

533
00:21:05,438 --> 00:21:07,309
your whole family
would get to go to Chicago

534
00:21:07,353 --> 00:21:09,180
on an all-expenses paid trip,

535
00:21:09,224 --> 00:21:11,226
and you guys
would be front and center

536
00:21:11,270 --> 00:21:12,923
as V.I.P.s
at the tree lighting ceremony.

537
00:21:12,967 --> 00:21:14,229
[laughs]

538
00:21:14,273 --> 00:21:16,492
I don't care
about being a V.I.P...

539
00:21:18,277 --> 00:21:20,975
but here's something
I do care about.

540
00:21:25,414 --> 00:21:28,852
39 years ago,

541
00:21:28,896 --> 00:21:32,465
my mom Leslie
and my dad George

542
00:21:32,508 --> 00:21:34,858
bought this land
and carved that there.

543
00:21:36,860 --> 00:21:38,993
All they had was a
mortgage and a dream,

544
00:21:39,036 --> 00:21:42,344
but this tree represented

545
00:21:42,388 --> 00:21:44,346
everything
that they would watch grow.

546
00:21:44,390 --> 00:21:45,869
That's beautiful.

547
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,352
Don't you want to share
that story with the world?

548
00:21:50,396 --> 00:21:54,182
Put their love on display
for everyone to admire?

549
00:21:54,225 --> 00:21:55,575
No.

550
00:21:55,618 --> 00:21:56,489
I want to keep it
with my family,

551
00:21:56,532 --> 00:21:57,533
where it belongs.

552
00:21:57,577 --> 00:21:58,621
And what about Joey?

553
00:21:58,665 --> 00:22:00,101
It would mean so much to him.

554
00:22:00,144 --> 00:22:02,364
Well, it would now,
because he's eight,

555
00:22:02,408 --> 00:22:04,888
but trust me, 20 years from now,
when this tree's still standing,

556
00:22:04,932 --> 00:22:06,281
it'll mean a lot more to him

557
00:22:06,325 --> 00:22:08,805
than him seeing it
with some skyscrapers.

558
00:22:09,937 --> 00:22:11,373
Hm.

559
00:22:11,417 --> 00:22:12,418
Listen, Holly,
I admire your tenacity,

560
00:22:12,461 --> 00:22:13,549
but...

561
00:22:13,593 --> 00:22:15,856
I mean,
the answer is just no.

562
00:22:24,908 --> 00:22:26,388
Oh, there's...
there's Aimee there.

563
00:22:26,432 --> 00:22:27,389
Okay.

564
00:22:27,433 --> 00:22:29,260
I have to...

565
00:22:29,304 --> 00:22:30,349
Sorry again.

566
00:22:34,962 --> 00:22:37,094
I really didn't want you
to be disappointed.

567
00:22:37,138 --> 00:22:38,400
No, I understand.

568
00:22:38,444 --> 00:22:40,837
It's your parents' tree.

569
00:22:40,881 --> 00:22:42,796
I just think that donating it

570
00:22:42,839 --> 00:22:45,407
could be special
for your family.

571
00:22:45,451 --> 00:22:47,888
I mean,
there's something so moving

572
00:22:47,931 --> 00:22:49,759
about bringing joy
to so many people.

573
00:22:53,110 --> 00:22:54,024
What's wrong?

574
00:22:55,461 --> 00:22:57,680
I thought Sam had told you.

575
00:22:57,724 --> 00:22:59,378
Told me what?

576
00:23:00,857 --> 00:23:03,033
Our mom passed away
last year.

577
00:23:03,077 --> 00:23:04,252
Oh...

578
00:23:06,123 --> 00:23:08,256
I'm really sorry to hear that.

579
00:23:08,299 --> 00:23:10,737
That's why Sam doesn't want
to give away this tree.

580
00:23:21,443 --> 00:23:22,662
Okay.
I got it.

581
00:23:22,705 --> 00:23:24,881
I, uh, I'm going
to be on my way.

582
00:23:27,797 --> 00:23:30,234
Hey, Dad,
dinner's almost ready!

583
00:23:30,278 --> 00:23:32,411
All right, Joey,
I'll be right in.

584
00:23:37,764 --> 00:23:39,287
Miss Christmas!

585
00:23:42,072 --> 00:23:43,683
I saw you on TV,

586
00:23:43,726 --> 00:23:44,553
and I wrote to you,
and you came!

587
00:23:44,597 --> 00:23:46,599
You came for our tree!

588
00:23:46,642 --> 00:23:47,817
I have to tell Grandpa!

589
00:23:47,861 --> 00:23:50,429
He didn't think she'd come!

590
00:23:50,472 --> 00:23:52,474
Wait,
Grandpa knew about the letter?

591
00:23:57,610 --> 00:23:58,567
Come meet Grandpa!

592
00:23:58,611 --> 00:23:59,655
Okay.

593
00:24:00,656 --> 00:24:01,701
[Aimee]: Hey, Dad.

594
00:24:01,744 --> 00:24:03,746
[Joey]: Hi, Grandpa!

595
00:24:03,790 --> 00:24:06,836
[Aimee]: Whoa,
cooking up a storm in here.

596
00:24:09,230 --> 00:24:12,015
[Joey]: Smells good.

597
00:24:15,976 --> 00:24:17,368
Come on.

598
00:24:17,412 --> 00:24:19,414
[Aimee]: Let's eat!

599
00:24:19,458 --> 00:24:22,504
Grandpa, look who it is!
Miss Christmas came!

600
00:24:22,548 --> 00:24:23,462
[Holly]: Hi.
Nice to meet you.

601
00:24:23,505 --> 00:24:24,637
[George]:
Welcome!

602
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:25,638
It's an enigma!

603
00:24:25,681 --> 00:24:27,074
[all chuckling]

604
00:24:27,117 --> 00:24:28,728
Grandpa just taught me
the word enigma.

605
00:24:28,771 --> 00:24:29,816
[George]:
Well, I'm not sure

606
00:24:29,859 --> 00:24:31,208
it's an enigma exactly,

607
00:24:31,252 --> 00:24:33,950
but it sure is exciting!

608
00:24:33,994 --> 00:24:35,212
And you're right on time
for dinner.

609
00:24:35,256 --> 00:24:37,214
Can you stay?

610
00:24:37,258 --> 00:24:38,433
[Aimee]:
What do you think?

611
00:24:38,477 --> 00:24:40,174
I should get going.

612
00:24:40,217 --> 00:24:43,307
No, it's dinner time,
and you've come all this way.

613
00:24:43,351 --> 00:24:44,744
Let us feed you.

614
00:24:44,787 --> 00:24:46,310
I made
grilled cheese sandwiches.

615
00:24:46,354 --> 00:24:47,834
Kind of.

616
00:24:47,877 --> 00:24:49,096
Thanks, pal.

617
00:24:49,139 --> 00:24:51,577
[Joey]: We made
pumpkin pie as well.

618
00:24:51,620 --> 00:24:52,795
Please stay.

619
00:24:53,927 --> 00:24:54,841
Yeah, stay.

620
00:24:58,497 --> 00:24:59,498
Okay.

621
00:24:59,541 --> 00:25:00,890
-All right!
-[Joey]: Yes!

622
00:25:00,934 --> 00:25:03,327
[George laughs]
Okay!

623
00:25:06,243 --> 00:25:07,897
Looks so good...

624
00:25:09,638 --> 00:25:10,683
Try the milk!

625
00:25:10,726 --> 00:25:12,293
It's from our cows!

626
00:25:12,336 --> 00:25:13,599
It's udderly delicious.

627
00:25:13,642 --> 00:25:15,122
[they laugh, groan]

628
00:25:15,165 --> 00:25:17,733
Oh, come on,
stop being so moo-dy.

629
00:25:17,777 --> 00:25:18,952
Seriously?

630
00:25:18,995 --> 00:25:20,388
Well, I find it a-moo-sing.

631
00:25:20,431 --> 00:25:22,085
[they laugh]

632
00:25:23,609 --> 00:25:24,914
So, Miss Christmas...

633
00:25:24,958 --> 00:25:26,437
Oh, it's actually Holly.

634
00:25:26,481 --> 00:25:28,831
[Joey]: Wait, Miss Christmas
isn't your real name?

635
00:25:28,875 --> 00:25:30,354
Why do they
call you that?

636
00:25:30,398 --> 00:25:32,313
Well, it's a nickname
my dad gave me.

637
00:25:32,356 --> 00:25:33,880
I grew up
on a Christmas tree farm,

638
00:25:33,923 --> 00:25:36,099
and I was always
Christmas crazy,

639
00:25:36,143 --> 00:25:38,449
and I said "Miss Christmas" once
on air,

640
00:25:38,493 --> 00:25:41,409
and it just stuck,

641
00:25:41,452 --> 00:25:42,715
but my real name's Holly.

642
00:25:42,758 --> 00:25:45,282
So, Holly,

643
00:25:45,326 --> 00:25:47,023
you've come
for Leslie's tree.

644
00:25:47,067 --> 00:25:48,459
Oh, no, yeah...

645
00:25:48,503 --> 00:25:49,591
I already told her no.

646
00:25:49,635 --> 00:25:50,592
What?
Dad!

647
00:25:50,636 --> 00:25:52,333
You can't say no!

648
00:25:52,376 --> 00:25:54,248
Grandma loved
the tree lighting!

649
00:25:54,291 --> 00:25:55,597
Yeah, it's true.
She did.

650
00:25:55,641 --> 00:25:57,294
Before the kids,

651
00:25:57,338 --> 00:25:58,687
Leslie and I used to go
to Chicago every year

652
00:25:58,731 --> 00:26:00,559
to see the tree.

653
00:26:00,602 --> 00:26:02,604
Yeah, and Grandma and me
watched it every year on TV.

654
00:26:02,648 --> 00:26:04,258
[Sam]: No, listen, Joey...

655
00:26:04,301 --> 00:26:06,086
I never heard Grandma say

656
00:26:06,129 --> 00:26:08,392
that she wanted to give away
her tree,

657
00:26:08,436 --> 00:26:10,612
and if she wanted
to donate it,

658
00:26:10,656 --> 00:26:12,527
well, then,
why didn't she?

659
00:26:12,571 --> 00:26:15,225
I know you really
want to see the tree on TV,

660
00:26:15,269 --> 00:26:17,967
but...
what about after Christmas?

661
00:26:18,011 --> 00:26:18,925
What then?

662
00:26:18,968 --> 00:26:20,448
Um...

663
00:26:20,491 --> 00:26:22,668
it'll actually be milled
into two-by-fours

664
00:26:22,711 --> 00:26:24,800
to provide lumber
to build houses

665
00:26:24,844 --> 00:26:26,759
for veterans
returning from overseas.

666
00:26:26,802 --> 00:26:28,587
So even after
the holidays,

667
00:26:28,630 --> 00:26:31,459
Leslie's tree will continue
to bring joy to people.

668
00:26:31,502 --> 00:26:32,503
[Sam]:
I meant...

669
00:26:32,547 --> 00:26:33,853
"then what" for us?

670
00:26:33,896 --> 00:26:35,376
Oh.

671
00:26:35,419 --> 00:26:36,420
[Sam]: Because then
we no longer have a tree.

672
00:26:36,464 --> 00:26:37,421
Right.

673
00:26:37,465 --> 00:26:39,554
Sam...

674
00:26:39,598 --> 00:26:40,642
I know you don't want
to give the tree away...

675
00:26:40,686 --> 00:26:42,165
Of course not.

676
00:26:42,209 --> 00:26:43,602
But it's not just yours
to give.

677
00:26:46,735 --> 00:26:48,694
Uh...

678
00:26:48,737 --> 00:26:50,173
I don't want
to cause any problems, so...

679
00:26:50,217 --> 00:26:51,261
It's no problems.

680
00:26:51,305 --> 00:26:53,046
The tree belongs to the family.

681
00:26:53,089 --> 00:26:54,177
It's a family decision.

682
00:26:56,223 --> 00:26:57,659
So, I tell you
what, Holly...

683
00:26:57,703 --> 00:26:59,139
why don't you
make your case,

684
00:26:59,182 --> 00:27:00,923
and then we'll discuss?

685
00:27:00,967 --> 00:27:03,534
Okay.

686
00:27:05,319 --> 00:27:07,451
Right now?

687
00:27:07,495 --> 00:27:08,583
No, we never discuss business
at the table.

688
00:27:08,627 --> 00:27:09,889
Great.

689
00:27:09,932 --> 00:27:11,194
We'll meet tomorrow,
after milking.

690
00:27:11,238 --> 00:27:12,456
Yes!

691
00:27:12,500 --> 00:27:14,502
Okay.

692
00:27:14,545 --> 00:27:16,939
I've got to head out
to the barn for a minute.

693
00:27:16,983 --> 00:27:18,027
Excuse me.

694
00:27:28,081 --> 00:27:30,605
[Holly]: I don't know, George.
Maybe Sam's right.

695
00:27:30,649 --> 00:27:32,738
Maybe the tree should stay.

696
00:27:32,781 --> 00:27:34,653
Maybe...

697
00:27:34,696 --> 00:27:36,393
but I also have some
mighty fond memories

698
00:27:36,437 --> 00:27:39,658
of Leslie at
the Radcliffe tree.

699
00:27:39,701 --> 00:27:42,051
The sound of her
off-key caroling,

700
00:27:42,095 --> 00:27:44,227
and the way her face
would brighten,

701
00:27:44,271 --> 00:27:46,490
seeing it light up...

702
00:27:46,534 --> 00:27:48,101
I think she would have
wanted to donate it.

703
00:27:48,144 --> 00:27:49,537
But Sam doesn't agree,

704
00:27:49,580 --> 00:27:51,887
and I just don't want
to upset anybody.

705
00:27:51,931 --> 00:27:53,193
Don't you worry
about my Sam.

706
00:27:53,236 --> 00:27:55,108
He's an enigma.

707
00:27:55,151 --> 00:27:57,066
He is definitely an enigma.

708
00:27:57,110 --> 00:27:58,154
[chuckles]

709
00:28:32,362 --> 00:28:33,929
[phone rings
with "Jingle Bells" ringtone]

710
00:28:36,453 --> 00:28:37,803
Hello?

711
00:28:37,846 --> 00:28:39,543
Holly,
that tree is perfect!

712
00:28:39,587 --> 00:28:40,588
[Holly]: Yeah...

713
00:28:40,631 --> 00:28:41,850
except that I don't have it,

714
00:28:41,894 --> 00:28:42,982
and the McNarys
might not give it to me.

715
00:28:43,025 --> 00:28:44,853
This tree is flawless,

716
00:28:44,897 --> 00:28:45,898
and if anyone
can convince them

717
00:28:45,941 --> 00:28:47,290
to donate it, it's you.

718
00:28:47,334 --> 00:28:49,684
Mm, maybe,

719
00:28:49,728 --> 00:28:52,556
but just in case,
we need to find a backup.

720
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,254
Oh, Andrea,
I've got to go.

721
00:28:54,297 --> 00:28:56,038
Oh, okay, Holly, I...

722
00:28:56,082 --> 00:28:57,474
[sighs]

723
00:28:57,518 --> 00:29:00,042

Listen, I... think
I've had enough holiday cheer

Yeah, I know,

734

to apologize

735

for overstepping
any boundaries.

that I understand
that your mom's tree

isn't just a tree, okay,

It happened
when I was just a baby,

746
00:29:57,404 --> 00:29:59,058
and my dad raised me

747
00:29:59,101 --> 00:30:00,886
until he got sick
when I was in college.

748
00:30:00,929 --> 00:30:03,366
He was my very best friend,

749
00:30:03,410 --> 00:30:04,803
and if you can believe it,

750
00:30:04,846 --> 00:30:05,934

as much as I do.

00:30:08,894 --> 00:30:09,851
He was...

Mr. Christmas?

755
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,029
Yeah.

756

Actually,
that's exactly what he was.

You know, and every year,
with the Radcliffe tree,

758
00:30:21,210 --> 00:30:23,430
I get to celebrate my dad

759

and his love for Christmas
and beauty and magic.

760
00:30:29,349 --> 00:30:32,178

he's here with me again.

Look, if I'm being
honest with you,

762
00:30:39,533 --> 00:30:41,274
I just don't think
there's anything you can say

763
00:30:41,317 --> 00:30:42,449
that's going to make me
change my mind.

764
00:30:42,492 --> 00:30:44,799
Yeah, doesn't mean
I'll stop talking.

Ah, you know,
he's not really a Grinch.

00:31:23,142 --> 00:31:24,360
He just hates Christmas.

00:31:24,404 --> 00:31:26,101
Maybe more of a Scrooge.

783
00:31:26,145 --> 00:31:28,277
No, he's not really a Scrooge,
either.

He's just...

785

Relax.
Don't worry about it.

You're going to get the tree.

to relax right now.

And thank you
for the cookies!

807
00:32:08,970 --> 00:32:09,928
So I know
you watch the Radcliffe ceremony

808
00:32:09,971 --> 00:32:11,277
on TV every year,

809
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,322
but many people
don't know its history,

810
00:32:13,366 --> 00:32:16,021
so I wanted
to share it with you.

811
00:32:16,064 --> 00:32:17,413
And you did all this
for us?

812
00:32:17,457 --> 00:32:18,980
Mm...

813
00:32:19,024 --> 00:32:21,200
I might have had some of it
prepared already.

814
00:32:21,243 --> 00:32:22,157
Okay...

815
00:32:25,291 --> 00:32:27,162
[Holly, recorded audio]:
In 1930,

816
00:32:27,206 --> 00:32:28,903
during the Great Depression,

817
00:32:28,947 --> 00:32:30,470
the first
Radcliffe Christmas tree

818
00:32:30,513 --> 00:32:31,993
was placed in the plaza

819
00:32:32,037 --> 00:32:34,387
for everyone
who couldn't afford a tree.

820
00:32:34,430 --> 00:32:35,997
Decorated
with gum wrapper garlands

821
00:32:36,041 --> 00:32:37,433
and tin cans,

822
00:32:37,477 --> 00:32:40,480
it became a centerpiece
of the community.

823
00:32:40,523 --> 00:32:44,875
Neighbors gathered around it,
caroled, and shared food.

824
00:32:44,919 --> 00:32:47,487
Since then, every year,

825
00:32:47,530 --> 00:32:49,315
the Radcliffe Center
has had a tree,

826
00:32:49,358 --> 00:32:50,925
and although the trees

827
00:32:50,969 --> 00:32:52,796
get more elaborate
and spectacular

828
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,363
every year,

829
00:32:54,407 --> 00:32:57,497
we never forget
what it started as...

830
00:32:57,540 --> 00:32:59,107
a symbol of community...

831
00:32:59,151 --> 00:33:03,329
a place for people
to come together...

832
00:33:03,372 --> 00:33:06,245
a gathering spot for families,
friends, and neighbors

833
00:33:06,288 --> 00:33:08,682
to be cheered, supported,

834
00:33:08,725 --> 00:33:10,031
and marvel

835
00:33:10,075 --> 00:33:10,901
not just
in the beauty of the season,

836
00:33:10,945 --> 00:33:12,686
but in each other...

837
00:33:15,689 --> 00:33:19,867
which is what Leslie's tree
could be to so many people.

838
00:33:30,051 --> 00:33:31,922
I vote yes!

839
00:33:35,404 --> 00:33:37,667
Holly,
this is wonderful...

840
00:33:37,711 --> 00:33:38,842
but I think we need
some more time

841
00:33:38,886 --> 00:33:39,887
to mull it over.

842
00:33:39,930 --> 00:33:42,846
Could we have
more time?

843
00:33:42,890 --> 00:33:44,587
I wish I could give you
all the time in the world.

844
00:33:44,631 --> 00:33:47,503
I know this is a huge decision
for all of you,

845
00:33:47,547 --> 00:33:50,724
but the tree lighting
is literally around the corner,

846
00:33:50,767 --> 00:33:52,073
and it takes time

847
00:33:52,117 --> 00:33:53,857
to transport and decorate,

848
00:33:53,901 --> 00:33:56,773
and in the end, if you say no...

849
00:33:56,817 --> 00:33:58,123
Could you
at least give us

850
00:33:58,166 --> 00:33:59,994
till tomorrow?

851
00:34:00,038 --> 00:34:01,952
And that way,
that'll give us some time

852
00:34:01,996 --> 00:34:03,606
to ask any questions
we might have.

853
00:34:03,650 --> 00:34:05,652
What do you think?

854
00:34:05,695 --> 00:34:07,610
Could you stay
a little longer?

00:34:13,660 --> 00:34:15,096

That's where Santa will be...

868

and that's where
the food is.

869

Everyone brings something.

There's Owen.
I'll be right back.

00:34:57,573 --> 00:34:58,487
Okay.

878
00:35:08,193 --> 00:35:10,238
I like Klaus.

this seriously.

881
00:35:14,329 --> 00:35:15,330
It's good for us.

882
00:35:15,374 --> 00:35:16,244
It's good for
the businesses,

883
00:35:16,288 --> 00:35:17,854
good for town morale.

884
00:35:17,898 --> 00:35:19,552
Good for everyone
but you.

885
00:35:19,595 --> 00:35:21,597
Why do you dislike Christmas
so much?

to be down here.

00:35:25,427 --> 00:35:26,211
Okay.

891
00:35:27,168 --> 00:35:28,517
How did the pitch go?

892
00:35:28,561 --> 00:35:29,779
Did they say yes?
Do you have the tree?

893
00:35:29,823 --> 00:35:31,651
Uh, no, not yet.

894
00:35:31,694 --> 00:35:33,305
They responded really well,

895
00:35:33,348 --> 00:35:35,611
but they just need another day
to decide.

896
00:35:35,655 --> 00:35:37,091
Another day?

897
00:35:37,135 --> 00:35:39,180
Holly,
the ceremony is in eight days,

898
00:35:39,224 --> 00:35:41,095
We need at least four days
to decorate,

899
00:35:41,139 --> 00:35:42,966
and that leaves us
exactly three days

900
00:35:43,010 --> 00:35:45,578
to have a tree located,
cut, and transported here.

901
00:35:45,621 --> 00:35:46,492
What am I supposed
to tell corporate?

903
00:35:47,493 --> 00:35:49,277
Yes.

904
00:35:49,321 --> 00:35:50,800
Corporate has gotten involved,
and they are not happy...

905
00:35:50,844 --> 00:35:53,847
and I'm sorry, Holly, but...

906
00:35:53,890 --> 00:35:56,893
they said if you don't have
a "Radcliffe-worthy tree"

907
00:35:56,937 --> 00:35:58,634
here in Chicago
in three days,

908
00:35:58,678 --> 00:35:59,940
then...

909
00:35:59,983 --> 00:36:02,029
don't bother
coming back at all.

910
00:36:24,138 --> 00:36:26,619
Hey.

911
00:36:26,662 --> 00:36:28,403
Good morning.

912
00:36:28,447 --> 00:36:29,578
What are you doing up
this early?

913
00:36:29,622 --> 00:36:30,927
Oh, I'm always
up early.

914
00:36:30,971 --> 00:36:33,234
Just the farmer
in me.

915
00:36:33,278 --> 00:36:34,670
What are you
doing here?

916
00:36:34,714 --> 00:36:37,673
We do
McNary family breakfast

917
00:36:37,717 --> 00:36:39,632
on Sundays, so...

918
00:36:39,675 --> 00:36:41,242
I'm always early,
I'm always waiting,

919
00:36:41,286 --> 00:36:44,071
so I grab coffee
and head outside.

920
00:36:44,114 --> 00:36:45,899
Care to join?

921
00:36:45,942 --> 00:36:47,292
You had me
at coffee.

922
00:36:47,335 --> 00:36:48,597
[chuckles]

923
00:36:56,692 --> 00:36:58,607
Usually from
the minute I wake up,

924
00:36:58,651 --> 00:36:59,956
it's just go, go, go.

925
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,262
It's so nice

926
00:37:01,306 --> 00:37:03,743
to have some time
to just breathe.

927
00:37:03,786 --> 00:37:07,050
It's so beautiful
here, so peaceful.

928
00:37:07,094 --> 00:37:08,182
It reminds me of home.

929
00:37:08,226 --> 00:37:09,662
Of Chicago?

930
00:37:09,705 --> 00:37:11,359
Oh, no, no, no,
Chicago's where I live,

931
00:37:11,403 --> 00:37:14,710
but my family's farm...
that was home.

932
00:37:14,754 --> 00:37:16,277
I guess I always figured
I'd end up back there.

933
00:37:16,321 --> 00:37:18,714
So why didn't you?

934
00:37:18,758 --> 00:37:20,194
Well, the plan

935
00:37:20,238 --> 00:37:21,630
was that I'd get a
degree in horticulture

936
00:37:21,674 --> 00:37:24,329
and then return home.

937
00:37:24,372 --> 00:37:28,594
My parents had this dream
of expanding the farm,

938
00:37:28,637 --> 00:37:29,682
and as I got older,

939
00:37:29,725 --> 00:37:30,900
it became a dream
of my own,

940
00:37:30,944 --> 00:37:33,773
something I wanted
to do for myself,

941
00:37:33,816 --> 00:37:35,122
and for my mom,

942
00:37:35,165 --> 00:37:37,211
for her legacy,

943
00:37:37,255 --> 00:37:40,301
especially at
Christmas time...

944
00:37:40,345 --> 00:37:42,782
but when my dad
passed away,

945
00:37:42,825 --> 00:37:46,307
I had to decide between
school and the farm.

946
00:37:46,351 --> 00:37:47,961
I was 19
at the time,

947
00:37:48,004 --> 00:37:50,006
and the thought of
running a business alone

948
00:37:50,050 --> 00:37:51,878
just was
terrifying, right?

949
00:37:51,921 --> 00:37:54,010
So I sold the land,

950
00:37:54,054 --> 00:37:56,665
and I got a job
at Radcliffe,

951
00:37:56,709 --> 00:37:57,579
and I moved
to Chicago...

952
00:37:57,623 --> 00:37:59,146
And became a city girl.

953
00:37:59,189 --> 00:38:00,103
[giggles]

954
00:38:00,147 --> 00:38:01,496
Yeah, I guess

955
00:38:01,540 --> 00:38:02,976
I am just a little
bit of a city girl.

956
00:38:03,019 --> 00:38:03,890
I do get nervous if I'm
more than a block away

957
00:38:03,933 --> 00:38:06,109
from a cup of coffee.

958
00:38:06,153 --> 00:38:09,025
I guess I've grown
accustomed to city life.

959
00:38:09,069 --> 00:38:10,418
Sounds to me

960
00:38:10,462 --> 00:38:12,333
like you just want to find
a place called home.

961
00:38:16,250 --> 00:38:19,297
You got anything tying you
to Chicago? Boyfriend?

962
00:38:20,646 --> 00:38:23,083
Uh... no.

963
00:38:23,126 --> 00:38:25,694
No, unfortunately,
when you work as much as I do,

964
00:38:25,738 --> 00:38:26,652
it's kind of hard to date.

965
00:38:29,176 --> 00:38:30,873
What about you?

966
00:38:30,917 --> 00:38:33,572
[snickers]
No, no, no, no.

967
00:38:33,615 --> 00:38:36,488

I just...

968
00:38:36,531 --> 00:38:38,316
and you know what?

969
00:38:38,359 --> 00:38:39,882
This time for Joey and I
just to be by ourselves,

970
00:38:39,926 --> 00:38:40,796
it's been great.

971
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,146
Yeah.

972
00:38:43,190 --> 00:38:44,496
But I think
we're both ready.

973
00:38:47,586 --> 00:38:49,065
She would just...

974
00:38:50,937 --> 00:38:52,982
She would have to be
really special.

Oh, I'm so sorry!

Don't worry about it,
don't worry about it.

It's fine.

the Norway spruce

00:40:12,975 --> 00:40:13,802
outside of Elkhart Lake

1016
00:40:13,846 --> 00:40:14,803
as a backup.

[Erin]: I thought

1018
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:17,545
that that tree
was 10 feet too short.

Well, I was...

1046
00:41:12,426 --> 00:41:15,690
just thinking about how happy
the Radcliffe tree made Leslie,

1047
00:41:15,734 --> 00:41:19,477
and how she made
everyone around her happy,

1048
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:21,914
especially at Christmas,

1049
00:41:21,957 --> 00:41:25,744
and I think
this is one more opportunity

1050
00:41:25,787 --> 00:41:27,441
for Leslie
to bring joy to others,

1051
00:41:27,485 --> 00:41:31,010

she'd want you to take it.

I know you have your heart
set on the angel ornament,

1077
00:42:29,547 --> 00:42:31,113
but sometimes,

1078

when you're looking
for one thing,

1079
00:42:32,550 --> 00:42:34,421

something else

1081
00:42:38,643 --> 00:42:41,167
That was the first ornament
I ever made.

1082
00:42:41,210 --> 00:42:42,255
I gave it to Grandma.

1083
00:42:42,298 --> 00:42:43,430

You know what?

1084
00:42:43,473 --> 00:42:44,692
And I bet
this was her real favorite,

1085
00:42:44,736 --> 00:42:45,693
and I think
it's going to look perfect

1086
00:42:45,737 --> 00:42:46,955
on your family wreath.

1087
00:42:53,396 --> 00:42:55,224

decorate the inn?

00:42:56,225 --> 00:42:57,618
Sam can help.

1090
00:42:59,402 --> 00:43:00,403
Great.

1091
00:43:02,144 --> 00:43:05,321
[♪♪]

1092
00:43:14,853 --> 00:43:16,768
I can't just sit inside

1093
00:43:16,811 --> 00:43:18,334
while you guys
are out here decorating.

1094
00:43:18,378 --> 00:43:19,292
[muttering]
About time.

1095
00:43:19,335 --> 00:43:21,468
Ha, ha.

1096
00:43:25,385 --> 00:43:26,995
It's beautiful.

1097
00:43:29,041 --> 00:43:30,608
It's just like how
Grandma used to do it.

1098
00:43:35,351 --> 00:43:36,526
Let's put the bow...

1099
00:43:43,838 --> 00:43:45,579
Untangling
all these lights

1100
00:43:45,623 --> 00:43:46,798
brought back traumatic
Christmas memories for me,

1101
00:43:46,841 --> 00:43:48,495
just so you know.

1102
00:43:48,538 --> 00:43:51,019
Can you really say you've never
enjoyed the holidays?

1103
00:43:51,063 --> 00:43:52,455
Not even a little?

1104
00:43:52,499 --> 00:43:54,588
I, uh, I haven't always
been a Grinch.

1105
00:43:54,632 --> 00:43:55,763
Aw, you're
not a Grinch.

1106
00:43:55,807 --> 00:43:57,417
You're much more of a Scrooge.

1107
00:43:57,460 --> 00:43:59,767
[laughs]
Um... thanks?

1108
00:43:59,811 --> 00:44:00,768
I'll get it.

1109
00:44:00,812 --> 00:44:02,030
Okay.

1110
00:44:04,076 --> 00:44:05,599
This Scrooge

1111
00:44:05,643 --> 00:44:06,948
actually tolerated Christmas
at one point.

1112
00:44:06,992 --> 00:44:07,993
"Tolerate?"

1113
00:44:08,036 --> 00:44:08,950
How spirited of you.

1114
00:44:08,994 --> 00:44:10,517
Hey...

1115
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,259
you get divorced
and your mom passes away?

1116
00:44:13,302 --> 00:44:15,348
Just makes everything...

1117
00:44:15,391 --> 00:44:16,305
you know?

1118
00:44:19,831 --> 00:44:20,962
Got it?

1119
00:44:21,006 --> 00:44:22,137
Yeah.

1120
00:44:22,181 --> 00:44:23,008
All right,
I think we're done.

1121
00:44:23,051 --> 00:44:24,705
Let's take a look.

1122
00:44:31,407 --> 00:44:33,671
[Joey]:
It's perfect!

1123
00:44:35,629 --> 00:44:38,458
Ah.
Nice.

1124
00:44:38,501 --> 00:44:39,851
All right, hey,
we've got to head home,

1125
00:44:39,894 --> 00:44:40,982
so why don't you go
hop in the truck, okay?

1126
00:44:41,026 --> 00:44:42,592
Okay.

1127
00:44:46,771 --> 00:44:47,641
I'm going to start...

1128
00:44:47,685 --> 00:44:49,817
[laughs]

1129
00:44:51,863 --> 00:44:53,865
Sam, being here with you
has been...

1130
00:44:53,908 --> 00:44:54,822
amazing...

1131
00:44:56,476 --> 00:44:57,869
but I do need
to figure this out,

1132
00:44:57,912 --> 00:44:58,826
and I'm running out of time.

1133
00:44:58,870 --> 00:45:00,045
Look, I'm sorry.

1134
00:45:00,088 --> 00:45:03,526
I've just been
dragging my feet. I...

1135
00:45:03,570 --> 00:45:06,616
I'm sure you just want
to get back on your way, so...

1136
00:45:06,660 --> 00:45:07,748
I'm just still on the fence.

1137
00:45:11,447 --> 00:45:12,927
Thanks for helping.

1138
00:45:22,284 --> 00:45:23,633
[Aimee and Holly giggle]

1139
00:45:24,896 --> 00:45:26,593
Thank you, Holly.

1140
00:45:26,636 --> 00:45:28,073
Joey is so happy,

1141
00:45:28,116 --> 00:45:31,554
and it's so nice to see
the inn decorated again.

1142
00:45:31,598 --> 00:45:32,642
[grunting]

1143
00:45:34,253 --> 00:45:35,515
Between you and me,

1144
00:45:35,558 --> 00:45:37,212
I think
even Sam enjoyed himself.

1145
00:45:37,256 --> 00:45:38,344
Me too.

1146
00:45:38,387 --> 00:45:39,214
[laughs]
Here, I'll take that.

1147
00:45:39,258 --> 00:45:40,476
Oh...

1148
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:41,303
[gasps]
Ooh, wait!

1149
00:45:41,347 --> 00:45:42,783
Aimee!

1150
00:45:42,827 --> 00:45:45,655
Is this the ornament
Joey was looking for?

1151
00:45:46,918 --> 00:45:48,397
We should tell him

1152
00:45:48,441 --> 00:45:50,443
so he can put it
on the wreath.

1153
00:45:50,486 --> 00:45:52,184
Actually, you know
where I want to put that?

1154
00:45:52,227 --> 00:45:54,273
On my mom's tree...

1155
00:45:54,316 --> 00:45:57,363
at the Radcliffe Plaza.

1156
00:45:57,406 --> 00:45:58,320
Really?

1157
00:45:58,364 --> 00:45:59,757
Mm-hm.

1158
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:01,019
I keep thinking

1159
00:46:01,062 --> 00:46:02,368
of the great memories
from the tree.

1160
00:46:02,411 --> 00:46:05,153
In the winter, we
would collect boughs

1161
00:46:05,197 --> 00:46:06,154
and make wreaths,

1162
00:46:06,198 --> 00:46:07,677
then in the summer,

1163
00:46:07,721 --> 00:46:10,115
we would have picnics
under the tree's shade.

1164
00:46:12,117 --> 00:46:13,640
I'll miss the tree,

1165
00:46:13,683 --> 00:46:16,817
but it'll be so special
to see it in Chicago.

1166
00:46:18,384 --> 00:46:19,515
Now you just have
to convince Sam,

1167
00:46:19,559 --> 00:46:20,908
which, after today,

1168
00:46:20,952 --> 00:46:21,735
I don't think will take
as much convincing

1169
00:46:21,779 --> 00:46:23,302
as I thought.

1170
00:46:23,345 --> 00:46:25,304
It's beginning to look
a little like Christmas.

1171
00:46:33,138 --> 00:46:35,967
[Erin]: So you've got
three out of the four.

1172
00:46:36,010 --> 00:46:37,272
That's a majority vote.

1173
00:46:37,316 --> 00:46:39,927
Well...
I want it to be unanimous.

1174
00:46:39,971 --> 00:46:41,842
I don't want Sam to feel like
I stole something from him.

1175
00:46:41,886 --> 00:46:43,931
Well...

1176
00:46:43,975 --> 00:46:46,238
fingers crossed
that he says yes tomorrow.

1177
00:46:46,281 --> 00:46:48,066
I mean, he could ask
for one more day.

1178
00:46:48,109 --> 00:46:49,894
It sounds like he just wants
to spend more time with you.

1179
00:46:49,937 --> 00:46:51,809
That is not
what he's doing.

1180
00:46:54,594 --> 00:46:56,378
Although...

1181
00:46:56,422 --> 00:46:58,293
staying
doesn't sound so bad.

1182
00:46:58,337 --> 00:47:00,034
Klaus is lovely...

1183
00:47:01,949 --> 00:47:03,603
and, um...

1184
00:47:03,646 --> 00:47:04,778
I'm actually starting
to think

1185
00:47:04,822 --> 00:47:07,868
that maybe the tree should stay.

1186
00:47:07,912 --> 00:47:09,696
Maybe it belongs here.

1187
00:47:09,739 --> 00:47:10,653
Holly...

1188
00:47:10,697 --> 00:47:11,611
What?

1190
00:47:12,568 --> 00:47:14,092
Turn on the news.

1191
00:47:14,135 --> 00:47:16,442
And with a week
until the tree lighting,

1192
00:47:16,485 --> 00:47:19,488
the Radcliffe Center tree
is still not here.

1193
00:47:19,532 --> 00:47:21,839
The "City in a Garden"
might be tree-less.

1194
00:47:21,882 --> 00:47:23,971
Looks like the heart of America

1195
00:47:24,015 --> 00:47:25,755
might have lost
its Christmas Spirit.

Listen, have
a great time.

00:47:42,294 --> 00:47:43,121
Hey.

1200
00:47:43,164 --> 00:47:44,209
Hey.

1201
00:47:44,252 --> 00:47:45,253
Thanks for coming.

1202
00:47:45,297 --> 00:47:46,994
What's going on?

1203
00:47:47,038 --> 00:47:48,691
So I know you need more time
to think about the tree,

1204
00:47:48,735 --> 00:47:50,171
but I also know

1205
00:47:50,215 --> 00:47:50,911
that I was just going
to spend the whole day

1206
00:47:50,955 --> 00:47:53,479
working and stressing,

1207
00:47:53,522 --> 00:47:56,743
so I decided, in the spirit
of Christmas and slowing down,

1208
00:47:56,786 --> 00:47:58,832
to take the day off

1209
00:47:58,876 --> 00:48:01,487
and partake
in some holiday activities.

1210
00:48:01,530 --> 00:48:02,967
Uh-oh.

1211
00:48:03,010 --> 00:48:04,620
Yeah. I thought maybe
you'd like to join me.

1212
00:48:04,664 --> 00:48:06,927
Is this, like,
a personal mission of yours

1213
00:48:06,971 --> 00:48:09,147
to get me to change
how I feel about Christmas?

1214
00:48:09,190 --> 00:48:10,278
This is just
a couple of friends

1215
00:48:10,322 --> 00:48:11,801
enjoying the holiday season.

1216
00:48:11,845 --> 00:48:13,673
Okay.
I can do that.

1217
00:48:13,716 --> 00:48:14,630
Okay.

Oh, no, no, no.

Really?

My dad and I
used to do this too.

as possible.

1243
00:49:12,471 --> 00:49:15,735
Now, this
is a very special card.

1244
00:49:15,778 --> 00:49:16,910
Why?

1245
00:49:16,954 --> 00:49:18,956
Because it's from you
to me,

1246
00:49:18,999 --> 00:49:20,566
and when I get it in the mail,

1247
00:49:20,609 --> 00:49:21,784
I'm going to remember
this moment.

Cool!

1249
00:49:23,569 --> 00:49:24,918
So I know you said
you and your grandma

for the festival...

We're going to bake
Christmas cookies?

Yes, we are,

00:49:31,533 --> 00:49:32,708
we're going to make
the hot chocolate to drink

00:49:34,580 --> 00:49:36,190
Yes!

00:49:52,685 --> 00:49:53,642
Whoa...

1269
00:49:53,686 --> 00:49:54,774
Oooh...

1270
00:49:54,817 --> 00:49:55,644
[Joey]: Nice.

1271
00:49:55,688 --> 00:49:57,124
Yeah!

1272
00:49:57,168 --> 00:49:58,082
They're perfect!

1273
00:49:58,125 --> 00:49:59,344
Definitely not charcoal.

1274
00:49:59,387 --> 00:50:00,954
Did you think they would be?

1275
00:50:00,998 --> 00:50:01,911
Maybe.

1276
00:50:01,955 --> 00:50:03,652
Oh-ho-ho.

1277
00:50:03,696 --> 00:50:05,437
Okay, why don't you put
the cookies over here,

1278
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:08,483
and we can get started
on the icing.

1279
00:50:08,527 --> 00:50:09,876
[Joey]: Sure.

1280
00:50:17,362 --> 00:50:18,928
[they laugh]

1281
00:50:26,197 --> 00:50:28,808
Before cutting down trees
was the tradition,

1282
00:50:28,851 --> 00:50:30,070
people used to put
evergreen boughs

1283
00:50:30,114 --> 00:50:31,854
in their homes,

1284
00:50:31,898 --> 00:50:34,031
and the boughs
were a reminder

1285
00:50:34,074 --> 00:50:36,163
that no matter
how harsh the winter,

1286
00:50:36,207 --> 00:50:37,295
spring would
always return,

1287
00:50:37,338 --> 00:50:39,384
and that's what
a Christmas tree is,

1288
00:50:39,427 --> 00:50:40,950
a reminder of hope.

1289
00:50:56,183 --> 00:50:57,750
Sorry.

1290
00:50:57,793 --> 00:50:59,056
It's just so beautiful.

1291
00:50:59,099 --> 00:51:00,927
[Sam]:
Don't apologize.

1292
00:51:00,970 --> 00:51:02,711
I'd like to look at something
the way you look at that tree.

1293
00:51:04,104 --> 00:51:06,454
Grandma's tree is going
to look awesome in Chicago!

1294
00:51:12,286 --> 00:51:14,027
You know what?

1295
00:51:14,071 --> 00:51:15,724
I bet there's a good one
right through there.

1296
00:51:15,768 --> 00:51:17,117
Want to go check it out?

1297
00:51:17,161 --> 00:51:18,075
[Joey]: Yeah.

1298
00:51:23,297 --> 00:51:25,082
Thanks for being
so patient.

1299
00:51:25,125 --> 00:51:26,692
Klaus and your family

1300
00:51:26,735 --> 00:51:28,911
makes being patient
pretty easy...

1301
00:51:30,261 --> 00:51:32,350
and honestly, Sam,

1302
00:51:32,393 --> 00:51:35,527
whatever you decide
about the tree,

1303
00:51:35,570 --> 00:51:37,572
I'm just so happy
that I came.

1304
00:51:40,793 --> 00:51:41,924
[clears throat]

1305
00:51:41,968 --> 00:51:44,623
Me too.
[chuckles]

1306
00:51:44,666 --> 00:51:46,364
[Joey]:
I found it!

1307
00:51:46,407 --> 00:51:47,495
I found our Christmas tree.

1308
00:51:48,714 --> 00:51:50,846
[Sam]: Yeah?
Did you get a good one?

1309
00:51:50,890 --> 00:51:52,109
[Joey]:
It's perfect.

1310
00:51:52,152 --> 00:51:53,936
This might work, huh?

1311
00:51:53,980 --> 00:51:56,591
Maybe we should ask
the tree expert.

1312
00:51:56,635 --> 00:51:58,376
Well?

1313
00:51:58,419 --> 00:51:59,942
Joey, how do you make
finding the perfect tree

1314
00:51:59,986 --> 00:52:01,596
look so easy?

1315
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:02,597
Are you after my job?

1316
00:52:02,641 --> 00:52:04,164
[Sam chuckles]

1317
00:52:04,208 --> 00:52:05,687
[Sam]: I think
you're old enough

1318
00:52:05,731 --> 00:52:06,645
for this now, huh?

1319
00:52:06,688 --> 00:52:08,255
Really?

1320
00:52:08,299 --> 00:52:10,736
Yeah. Okay.
Come on, get in here.

1321
00:52:10,779 --> 00:52:13,478
We do long, just smooth,
slow strokes, okay?

1322
00:52:13,521 --> 00:52:15,132
You let the saw
do the work.

1323
00:52:15,175 --> 00:52:16,220
I'll help you
get started.

1324
00:52:16,263 --> 00:52:17,960
Got it?

1325
00:52:18,004 --> 00:52:19,875
[sawing]

1326
00:52:23,052 --> 00:52:24,184
Good job.

1327
00:52:27,361 --> 00:52:29,842
[Sam]: All right, here.
Think this will do it.

1328
00:52:29,885 --> 00:52:31,148
Yeah? That's
good, right?

1329
00:52:31,191 --> 00:52:32,540
Yeah.

1330
00:52:32,584 --> 00:52:35,717
["Angels We Have Heard on High"
playing]

1331
00:52:35,761 --> 00:52:37,371
Joey, you're a pro.

1332
00:52:38,329 --> 00:52:39,504
Thanks.

1333
00:52:39,547 --> 00:52:41,201
Okay, I have something
for you.

1334
00:52:41,245 --> 00:52:42,159
Really?

1335
00:52:42,202 --> 00:52:43,116
Yes.

1336
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:44,073
[Sam]:
What?

1337
00:52:44,117 --> 00:52:46,206
[Joey]:
What is it?

1338
00:52:48,382 --> 00:52:50,341
It's an angel!

1339
00:52:51,733 --> 00:52:53,474
[Holly]: My mother's
family has a tradition

1340
00:52:53,518 --> 00:52:55,650
of using an angel
instead of a star

1341
00:52:55,694 --> 00:52:56,869
on the top
of the tree.

1342
00:52:56,912 --> 00:52:58,784
It's a reminder
of everyone we love

1343
00:52:58,827 --> 00:53:00,046
looking out for us.

1344
00:53:00,089 --> 00:53:01,482
It's actually
a tradition I brought

1345
00:53:01,526 --> 00:53:03,223
to the Radcliffe Center.

1346
00:53:03,267 --> 00:53:05,225
I have one just like it
on my tree.

1347
00:53:12,406 --> 00:53:13,581
It's perfect.

1348
00:53:15,148 --> 00:53:16,584
[Holly]: I just think
it's so beautiful

1349
00:53:16,628 --> 00:53:19,239
how our mothers have
influenced our Christmases.

1350
00:53:19,283 --> 00:53:20,501
[Sam]: What do
you say, buddy?

1351
00:53:20,545 --> 00:53:21,459
Thank you.

1352
00:53:21,502 --> 00:53:22,242
[Holly]:
You're welcome.

1353
00:53:22,286 --> 00:53:23,635
Thank you.

1354
00:53:23,678 --> 00:53:25,071
[Holly]: On the farm,
we always had

1355
00:53:25,114 --> 00:53:27,160
a fresh Christmas tree,
with roots.

1356
00:53:27,204 --> 00:53:29,945
My dad would always say,

1357
00:53:29,989 --> 00:53:32,600
"Love is like
a Christmas tree.

1358
00:53:32,644 --> 00:53:35,908
It needs to have roots
and wings."

1359
00:53:37,475 --> 00:53:39,128
Hm.

1360
00:53:41,653 --> 00:53:43,872
Uh, well, um...

1361
00:53:43,916 --> 00:53:44,830
Let's get ready for
the festival tomorrow.

1362
00:53:44,873 --> 00:53:45,961
Okay.

1363
00:53:48,355 --> 00:53:49,530
I'll meet you
back at the inn.

1364
00:53:49,574 --> 00:53:50,444
Okay.

1365
00:53:52,229 --> 00:53:53,839
Thanks for that.

1366
00:53:53,882 --> 00:53:54,883
No problem.

1367
00:53:54,927 --> 00:53:56,842
So, uh..

1368
00:53:56,885 --> 00:53:58,800
was an entire day
of Christmas activities

1369
00:53:58,844 --> 00:54:00,367
just pure torture for you?

1370
00:54:00,411 --> 00:54:02,717
Oh, uh... no.

1371
00:54:02,761 --> 00:54:04,110
Um...

1372
00:54:05,633 --> 00:54:08,027
You know, what would you say
if I told you

1373
00:54:08,070 --> 00:54:09,158
it was actually really nice?

1374
00:54:09,202 --> 00:54:11,422
Oh.

1375
00:54:11,465 --> 00:54:13,380
I would say "Operation
Lift Sam's Christmas Spirits"

1376
00:54:13,424 --> 00:54:14,381
is working...

1377
00:54:15,991 --> 00:54:17,689
and I had
a great day too.

1378
00:54:17,732 --> 00:54:19,081
Your family's lovely...

1379
00:54:19,125 --> 00:54:21,345
Yeah.

1380
00:54:21,388 --> 00:54:23,825
And being in Klaus
makes me feel like...

1381
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:26,393
You're home again?

1382
00:54:26,437 --> 00:54:28,308
Yeah.

1383
00:54:33,661 --> 00:54:34,923
Okay. Well...

1384
00:54:34,967 --> 00:54:37,839
I'm going to...
I'm going to go.

1385
00:54:37,883 --> 00:54:40,494
Well, you are...

1386
00:54:40,538 --> 00:54:43,802
overlooking one
Christmas tradition.

1387
00:54:43,845 --> 00:54:45,847
Well, underlooking.

1388
00:54:47,371 --> 00:54:48,546
Oh, the vile weed?

1389
00:54:50,112 --> 00:54:52,245
And I thought that
was just for holiday people.

1390
00:54:52,289 --> 00:54:54,116
Well...

1391
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:56,336
maybe I'm re-thinking
my Grinchhood.

1392
00:54:57,598 --> 00:54:58,512
Yeah?

1393
00:55:01,254 --> 00:55:02,168
How can I not?

1394
00:55:06,738 --> 00:55:07,739
[Joey]: Dad!

1395
00:55:07,782 --> 00:55:10,872
We can't find the sweaters.

1396
00:55:13,179 --> 00:55:14,398
All right,
I'll be right up.

1397
00:55:14,441 --> 00:55:16,225
It's okay.

1398
00:55:17,705 --> 00:55:18,663
Good night.

1399
00:55:18,706 --> 00:55:20,708
Good night.

1400
00:55:28,586 --> 00:55:30,065
[Aimee]:
Okay, it looks good!

1401
00:55:30,109 --> 00:55:31,545
She'll be down
any sec, right?

1402
00:55:31,589 --> 00:55:33,242
[Aimee]:
Mine's uglier than yours.

1403
00:55:33,286 --> 00:55:34,287
[Joey]: No, mine's uglier.

1404
00:55:34,331 --> 00:55:35,419
[chuckling]

1405
00:55:35,462 --> 00:55:37,377
[George whispering]
Oh, here...

1406
00:55:37,421 --> 00:55:38,683
[Holly laughs]
What is going on?

1407
00:55:38,726 --> 00:55:40,337
Leslie made them.

1408
00:55:40,380 --> 00:55:43,557
Every year, she'd try to make
her ugliest sweater yet.

1409
00:55:43,601 --> 00:55:46,255
She was...
repeatedly successful.

1410
00:55:46,299 --> 00:55:47,909
[laughing]

1411
00:55:47,953 --> 00:55:48,954
It's a family tradition.

1412
00:55:48,997 --> 00:55:50,390
So, what do you think?

1413
00:55:50,434 --> 00:55:52,610
I think
it's truly...

1414
00:55:52,653 --> 00:55:54,176
truly ugly.

1415
00:55:55,439 --> 00:55:57,223
The ugliest.

1416
00:55:57,266 --> 00:55:58,398

but I'm actually eight,

1436

01:04:16,940 --> 01:04:18,767
Hi.

1626
01:04:23,511 --> 01:04:26,558
But Holly, you've worked
so hard for your job.

1627
01:04:26,601 --> 01:04:27,820
You are your job.

1628
01:04:27,864 --> 01:04:30,823
No.
No, I'm more than this job,

1629
01:04:30,867 --> 01:04:34,000
but I am so grateful
to Radcliffe

1630
01:04:34,044 --> 01:04:35,567
and everything
that it's taught me,

1631
01:04:35,610 --> 01:04:37,656
but it is time for me
to get out of the city

1632
01:04:37,699 --> 01:04:39,179
and just get back to my roots.

1633
01:04:40,789 --> 01:04:42,139
Look, I'm going to do
what I said I'm going to do.

1634
01:04:42,182 --> 01:04:43,314
I'm going
to get this tree,

1635
01:04:43,357 --> 01:04:45,098
and then I'm leaving.

1636
01:04:47,318 --> 01:04:49,711
I have to follow my heart,
and my heart is elsewhere.

1637
01:04:49,755 --> 01:04:52,018
I can't pretend.

1638
01:05:01,810 --> 01:05:04,901
Erin...
no, Erin, this is right.

1639
01:05:04,944 --> 01:05:06,511
I can feel it.

1640
01:05:06,554 --> 01:05:08,556
Will you still come visit me
in Chicago?

1641
01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:10,167
Or am I going
to have to go over there?

1643
01:05:11,995 --> 01:05:14,084

I've got to go.

You can't have our tree.

1652
01:05:36,802 --> 01:05:39,152
Yeah, sorry for wasting
so much of your time.

Um...

1654
01:05:42,895 --> 01:05:44,897
I have to...
I have to "follow my heart."

1655
01:05:44,941 --> 01:05:45,854
Right?
That's what you do, right?

1656
01:05:45,898 --> 01:05:46,768
You follow your heart.

1657
01:05:46,812 --> 01:05:48,379

that this was all just a game.

What, you get close to us,

1662

you're part of our family,

1663

1803
01:12:20,510 --> 01:12:21,902
[laughs]

1804
01:12:23,295 --> 01:12:25,166
But I know.

1805
01:12:25,210 --> 01:12:26,254
You want Sam.

1806
01:12:33,479 --> 01:12:35,742
I just want a home...

1807
01:12:38,397 --> 01:12:40,225
and I want a family.

1808
01:12:40,268 --> 01:12:44,577
Well, the Holly I know
never takes no for an answer.

1809
01:12:44,621 --> 01:12:45,752
Well, the Holly I know

1810
01:12:45,796 --> 01:12:48,102
is always protecting herself.

1811
01:12:48,146 --> 01:12:49,930
Well, you got hurt.

1812
01:12:51,715 --> 01:12:54,587
That's life.
That's love.

1813
01:12:54,631 --> 01:12:55,675
You know?

1814
01:12:55,719 --> 01:12:58,069
It hurts sometimes,

1815
01:12:58,112 --> 01:13:00,941
but you have
to pick yourself up

1816
01:13:00,985 --> 01:13:02,943
and start again.

1817
01:13:02,987 --> 01:13:05,381
We can't give up,
especially you,

1818
01:13:05,424 --> 01:13:07,600

you're Miss Christmas.

What do you
always say?

1820
01:13:11,299 --> 01:13:12,431
At Christmas time,

1821
01:13:12,475 --> 01:13:13,345
we have
to open up our hearts,

1822
01:13:13,389 --> 01:13:14,520
even when it's hard...

1823
01:13:14,564 --> 01:13:16,783

when it's hard.

1826
01:13:24,748 --> 01:13:27,533
Why don't I pour us
a little Christmas cheer...

1827
01:13:27,577 --> 01:13:28,969
Okay...

1828
01:13:29,013 --> 01:13:31,276
And you can decorate
the tree.

1829
01:13:31,319 --> 01:13:32,538

Welcome.

Is he here?

No, he's running errands
till sundown.

1853
01:15:22,300 --> 01:15:23,606
We spread the word
around town.

1854

Sounds like there's going
to be a big crowd.

Well, if the tree can't come
to Radcliffe,

1859
01:15:32,615 --> 01:15:34,268
then Radcliffe is going
to come to the tree.

she was one of a kind...

the same spirit...

that Christmas was about
opening your heart...

than done...

01:21:00,420 --> 01:21:02,640
Klaus doesn't have
a Christmas tree farm,

1984
01:21:02,683 --> 01:21:04,511
and we actually have
the room for it,

1985
01:21:04,555 --> 01:21:07,427
and as for growing
the Radcliffe tree,

1986
01:21:07,471 --> 01:21:09,429
maybe this is
a good start.

1987
01:21:13,781 --> 01:21:16,219
In 50 years,
we can donate it.

1988
01:21:16,262 --> 01:21:18,003
It actually takes 80 years
to get big enough, but--

1989
01:21:18,047 --> 01:21:19,918
yeah, but we can watch it grow
together.

1990
01:21:19,962 --> 01:21:22,616
How did you know
I was coming?

1991
01:21:22,660 --> 01:21:24,096
Well, one, if you weren't,
I was coming to get you.

1992
01:21:25,489 --> 01:21:26,969
Um, but two...

1993
01:21:27,012 --> 01:21:28,361
Holly? Could we
borrow you a moment?

1994
01:21:28,405 --> 01:21:29,667
Sure.

1995
01:21:29,710 --> 01:21:30,755
-Okay.
-Go ahead.

Last night,

1997
01:21:34,541 --> 01:21:35,803
we had the tree lighting

1998
01:21:35,847 --> 01:21:37,370
at Chicago's
Radcliffe Center.

1999
01:21:37,414 --> 01:21:38,806
Tonight, Radcliffe
has come

2000
01:21:38,850 --> 01:21:39,895
to Klaus, Wisconsin,

2001
01:21:39,938 --> 01:21:42,027
and here we have
Miss Christmas

2002
01:21:42,071 --> 01:21:43,724
to tell us
how that happened.

2003
01:21:43,768 --> 01:21:45,901
Well, it all started
with a letter

2004
01:21:45,944 --> 01:21:47,772
from a really special boy
named Joey,

2005
01:21:47,815 --> 01:21:49,905
and, um...
he's here.

2006
01:21:49,948 --> 01:21:50,818
Can he join us?

2007
01:21:50,862 --> 01:21:51,819
Of course.

2008
01:21:51,863 --> 01:21:53,299
Okay. Joey!

2009
01:21:53,343 --> 01:21:54,387
Hi, Joey.

2010
01:21:54,431 --> 01:21:56,694
So you wrote a letter

2011
01:21:56,737 --> 01:21:57,825
to donate this tree
to the Radcliffe Center?

2012
01:21:57,869 --> 01:21:59,479
Yup.

2013
01:21:59,523 --> 01:22:02,047
I wanted the whole world
to see my grandma's tree...

2014
01:22:03,179 --> 01:22:05,224
And guess who mailed
the letter?

2015
01:22:06,182 --> 01:22:07,270
[people chuckle]

2016
01:22:09,011 --> 01:22:10,577
[Holly]:
Okay, well...

2017
01:22:10,621 --> 01:22:12,275
I guess we're ready
for the main attraction.

2018
01:22:12,318 --> 01:22:15,278
-Whoo!
-Yeah!

2019
01:22:15,321 --> 01:22:17,758
Here we go!

2020
01:22:17,802 --> 01:22:19,760
And I wrote
the second letter.

2021
01:22:19,804 --> 01:22:21,937
I just carved the tree
and crossed my fingers.

2022
01:22:26,332 --> 01:22:27,899
[Holly]: Okay, buddy.

2023
01:22:27,943 --> 01:22:28,944
Go ahead!

2024
01:22:28,987 --> 01:22:30,771
-Really?
-Go for it.

2025
01:22:30,815 --> 01:22:31,772
Oh yeah!

2026
01:22:32,991 --> 01:22:33,992
[Sam]: All right,
shall we count it down?

2027
01:22:35,211 --> 01:22:37,691
