On a very special night every year,
3
00:00:30,739 --> 00:00:36,578
legend has it that a jolly old man
in a red suit flies through the air
4
00:00:36,661 --> 00:00:41,583
and brings gifts, laughter,
and joy to children everywhere.
5
00:00:42,250 --> 00:00:44,252
[narrators speaking multiple languages]
6
00:00:51,384 --> 00:00:55,430
There are those who believe in him
and those who don't.
7
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,149
[Lisa] And so I say, God bless America.
8
00:01:06,232 --> 00:01:09,861
Of course. So I say, God bless America.
9
00:01:09,944 --> 00:01:14,574
Of course,
but God bless our different views?
10
00:01:15,825 --> 00:01:19,037
Yeah. Oh, I think ours, freedom.
11
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,082
God bless freedom in all of its forms.
12
00:01:22,165 --> 00:01:23,165
Okay.
13
00:01:24,751 --> 00:01:25,794
Yes.
14
00:01:26,419 --> 00:01:28,046
"Forms." All right...
15
00:01:28,129 --> 00:01:31,925
[woman] Uh-huh. Yes, that sounds perfect.
16
00:01:32,425 --> 00:01:34,427
- Okay, thank you.
- Yeah!
17
00:01:34,511 --> 00:01:35,553
[laughs]
18
00:01:36,429 --> 00:01:39,682
I finally set up an interview
with Mallards for my article
19
00:01:39,766 --> 00:01:41,184
about their fall fashion line.
20
00:01:41,768 --> 00:01:44,270
And I just sent Grant
my Fourth of July article.
21
00:01:44,354 --> 00:01:46,189
Ah! Well, yours is better.
22
00:01:46,272 --> 00:01:48,358
This was the easiest article
I've ever had to write.
23
00:01:48,441 --> 00:01:49,818
It practically wrote itself.
24
00:01:49,901 --> 00:01:51,611
I love this holiday.
25
00:01:52,237 --> 00:01:53,655
- Lisa!
- [Lisa] Yes, Grant?
26
00:01:53,738 --> 00:01:56,241
- Did you just email me your article?
- Yes, Grant.
27
00:01:56,741 --> 00:01:58,243
Did you mention hot dogs?
28
00:01:58,326 --> 00:01:59,661
I did.
29
00:01:59,744 --> 00:02:03,081
I cannot wait for wiener ads
next to my article.
30
00:02:03,164 --> 00:02:04,804
Yeah, well, we got to keep the lights on.
31
00:02:05,291 --> 00:02:07,585
Oh, uh, did you mention the ski pants?
32
00:02:08,169 --> 00:02:11,256
It is an article about the Fourth of July.
33
00:02:11,339 --> 00:02:12,339
We'll talk.
34
00:02:15,135 --> 00:02:17,178
You just said "wiener" to Grant.
35
00:02:17,262 --> 00:02:18,471

36
00:02:18,555 --> 00:02:20,306
- [cell phone chimes]
- You're my hero.
37
00:02:20,390 --> 00:02:23,184
Oh, okay. You know what?
I gotta go pick up
38
00:02:23,268 --> 00:02:25,770
Ella's bumblebee costume
for this Saturday.
39
00:02:25,854 --> 00:02:27,939
I thought that Robert was on fair duty.
40
00:02:28,022 --> 00:02:31,901
I volunteered to get the costume.
We are still on for this weekend.
41
00:02:33,236 --> 00:02:34,320
"Independence Day."
42
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:36,865
"Best holiday on the calendar."
43

[Lisa] ...hot dogs and bursts
of fiery embers in the sky.
48
00:02:52,297 --> 00:02:55,550
There's no cooking a turkey for six hours.
49
00:02:55,633 --> 00:02:58,720
No cross-country travel
through snow and ice,
50
00:02:59,345 --> 00:03:01,764
no feeling pressure to spend money,
51
00:03:01,848 --> 00:03:05,018
which makes it way better than Christmas.
52
00:03:05,602 --> 00:03:07,020
"Way better than Christmas"?
53
00:03:07,103 --> 00:03:08,771
Pfft. That's lame.
54
00:03:08,855 --> 00:03:10,857
- Who wrote this?
- [cell phone rings]
55
00:03:10,940 --> 00:03:13,740
Hey, Assan, I'm glad you're up.
I'm gonna get you in, like, 30 minutes.
56
00:03:14,444 --> 00:03:16,029
We have to set up the booth.
57
00:03:16,613 --> 00:03:18,198
All right, thanks, buddy. Bye.

[children shouting distantly]
61
00:03:36,549 --> 00:03:38,760
- Mom, we have to hurry.
- Wait, wait, wait.
62
00:03:38,843 --> 00:03:40,720
- Get the rest of your costume, please.
- Oh!
63
00:03:42,805 --> 00:03:45,600
So, tell me more about Robert.
64
00:03:45,683 --> 00:03:49,062
Oh, Robert had a little conflict today.
65
00:03:49,604 --> 00:03:51,814
He's at the lake with his new girlfriend.
66
00:03:51,898 --> 00:03:53,733
See? Just a little conflict.

Oh.

00:03:58,529 --> 00:03:59,656
Hmm.
70
00:04:00,531 --> 00:04:02,617
Oh, you know what? Here. Mm-hmm.
71
00:04:02,700 --> 00:04:04,369
- That'll keep.
- Okay, come on.
72
00:04:06,287 --> 00:04:07,287
- Come on.
- [Lisa] Ella!
73

It's going to be okay.

Okay. Thank you.
75
00:04:11,834 --> 00:04:14,003
I will. We're going to be fine.
76
00:04:14,087 --> 00:04:15,880
We still have like 25 minutes.
77
00:04:15,964 --> 00:04:18,007
[Ella] That's not enough time. Come on.

Well, the gnome is not where it was.

[Tom] Yes, uh, I get that,
82
00:04:26,599 --> 00:04:30,144
but you can't just accuse
your neighbor without proof.
83
00:04:30,812 --> 00:04:33,356
He's been eyeing it
since the day I got it.
84

Look, it's a vintage Heissner.
85
00:04:36,567 --> 00:04:38,111
- Oh.
- I just know he took it.
86
00:04:38,820 --> 00:04:42,198
Okay, but just knowing and proving
are two different things.
87
00:04:42,282 --> 00:04:45,576
Incontrovertible proof
is the basis of our legal system.
88
00:04:46,119 --> 00:04:49,872
If you get some proof,
just give me a call at my firm. Okay?
89

[chuckling] Hi, guys.
107
00:05:33,082 --> 00:05:35,418
Um, is the show still on schedule?
108
00:05:35,501 --> 00:05:37,920
I think so.
We'll probably go on at around 12:30.
109
00:05:38,004 --> 00:05:41,257
[Lisa] Okay, thanks. "Bee" awesome!
110

Thanks, Mom.

Everyone ready?

00:05:44,844 --> 00:05:47,472

Oh, well,
I could try to help you find her.
126
00:06:47,073 --> 00:06:50,410
Um, she's not dressed
like a bumblebee too, is she?
127
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,746
No, just like a regular person.
128
00:06:53,830 --> 00:06:55,331
Right. Um...
129
00:06:56,124 --> 00:06:58,334
All right, well, I have a booth here,
130
00:06:58,418 --> 00:07:01,129
so why don't we just get out
of that crowd for a second, yeah?
131
00:07:01,212 --> 00:07:04,006
[Ella] You're not, like,
gonna offer me candy, right?
132
00:07:04,090 --> 00:07:05,508
[laughs] No.
133
00:07:05,591 --> 00:07:09,053
- I mean, I wouldn't mind some candy.
- Okay.
134
00:07:09,137 --> 00:07:11,180
- No, Tom.
- [Tom] What?
135
00:07:11,264 --> 00:07:13,474
We're not suing any parents
for a later bedtime.
136
00:07:13,558 --> 00:07:16,644
No, she doesn't need legal advice.
She needs a lost mom.
137
00:07:16,727 --> 00:07:18,855
I'm gonna go see
if there's like a lost kid booth.
138
00:07:18,938 --> 00:07:19,772
- I'll go.
- [Tom] What?
139
00:07:19,856 --> 00:07:23,401
- You stay here in case her mom comes back.
- You're not going to get a hot dog, right?
140
00:07:23,484 --> 00:07:25,236
[chuckles] Please, Tom.
141
00:07:25,319 --> 00:07:26,571
I might get a lemonade too.
142
00:07:26,654 --> 00:07:29,365
Hey, well, have them
make an announcement if you can't find...
143
00:07:31,284 --> 00:07:33,870
We'll just wait here until he comes back,
I guess, all right?
144
00:07:33,953 --> 00:07:35,705
- I'm Tom.
- I know.
145
00:07:35,788 --> 00:07:38,833
- You're not going to sting me, are you?
- I don't have a stinger.

Oh, thank goodness.

00:07:40,751 --> 00:07:42,545
My dance studio is performing.
148
00:07:42,628 --> 00:07:44,630
Oh, yeah. Why don't I just take you there?
149
00:07:45,214 --> 00:07:47,967
- I don't know where they went.
- Oh, not to the stage?
150
00:07:48,050 --> 00:07:49,218
Not until later.
151
00:07:49,302 --> 00:07:50,803
[sighs] Okay.
152
00:07:50,887 --> 00:07:54,056
Um, let's just wait
and see what Assan can find out.
153
00:07:54,140 --> 00:07:56,100
Um, what happened here?
154
00:07:56,184 --> 00:07:58,394
- It broke somehow.
- Let me see.
155
00:08:02,482 --> 00:08:03,774
[Lisa] I mean, how hard is it
156
00:08:03,858 --> 00:08:07,153
to say that you're going to do something
and then actually do it?
157
00:08:07,236 --> 00:08:10,239
Oh, you know, that's not exactly
a part of Robert's operating system, so...
158
00:08:10,323 --> 00:08:11,991
Never was.
159
00:08:12,074 --> 00:08:13,074
Mm.
160
00:08:16,287 --> 00:08:18,164
[dramatic music]
161
00:08:18,748 --> 00:08:19,748

00:08:41,020 --> 00:08:43,105
- Hello?
- Hi.
164
00:08:43,189 --> 00:08:44,315
Uh...
165
00:08:44,982 --> 00:08:48,236
- Do you need legal advice?
- I do not, but you might.
166
00:08:48,319 --> 00:08:49,237
I'm sorry?
167
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,447
- Why is my daughter in your booth?
- Mom!
168
00:08:51,531 --> 00:08:53,531
- [Tom] This is your daughter?
- Yeah, pretty sure.
169
00:08:54,075 --> 00:08:55,284
Are you okay?
170
00:08:55,368 --> 00:08:58,204
- I got lost.
- She was just wandering around, and...
171
00:08:58,746 --> 00:09:02,291
His friend went to go look for you,
and he fixed my headband.
172
00:09:04,627 --> 00:09:05,836
Oh.
173
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,715
Okay, well, that was very nice of you.
174
00:09:09,799 --> 00:09:11,717
I'm just glad you're both back together.
175
00:09:14,136 --> 00:09:15,555
We should probably go find Marissa.
176
00:09:15,638 --> 00:09:18,015
Do you want to go see my dance?
177
00:09:18,099 --> 00:09:19,767
Oh, um...
178
00:09:20,518 --> 00:09:21,644
Uh...
179
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,191
They go on at 12:30,
I mean, if you're free.
180
00:09:28,651 --> 00:09:31,362
Uh, yes, I would love
to come see your dance.
181
00:09:31,445 --> 00:09:34,782
- Cool.
- Okay. Well, thanks.
182
00:09:34,865 --> 00:09:35,908
- Sure.
- Mm-hmm.
183
00:09:37,785 --> 00:09:38,786
That was weird.
184
00:09:38,869 --> 00:09:41,163
[friend] Yeah, cute guy stole your kid.
What are the odds?
185
00:09:44,083 --> 00:09:46,127
- There was nobody there.
- Nobody where?
186
00:09:46,210 --> 00:09:48,170
The hot dog stand or the lost and found?
187
00:09:48,254 --> 00:09:51,382
They were right next to each other.
Buck 99.
188
00:09:51,465 --> 00:09:52,633
[scoffs]
189
00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:55,177
Tom, you lost the kid!
190
00:09:55,845 --> 00:09:57,847
[dance music playing]
191
00:10:08,524 --> 00:10:09,692
- [music ends]
- [applause]
192
00:10:09,775 --> 00:10:11,235
Yay! Ella!
193
00:10:11,319 --> 00:10:13,070
[woman] Whoo!
194
00:10:14,488 --> 00:10:15,698
[Marissa] Thank you, everyone.
195
00:10:18,701 --> 00:10:19,702
[laughs]
196
00:10:22,538 --> 00:10:23,831
Did you lose another child?
197
00:10:24,915 --> 00:10:25,915
No.
198
00:10:28,002 --> 00:10:31,422
Well, if you're looking for the booth guy,
he's right over there.
199
00:10:31,922 --> 00:10:33,132
[inaudible]
200
00:10:34,383 --> 00:10:35,301
He came.
201
00:10:35,384 --> 00:10:36,427
[friend] Mm-hmm.
202
00:10:36,510 --> 00:10:38,512
You should go, uh, thank him.
203
00:10:39,263 --> 00:10:40,097
I already did.
204
00:10:40,181 --> 00:10:41,390
You should go thank him again.
205
00:10:42,099 --> 00:10:44,602
And this time
do a little hair flip or two.
206
00:10:45,269 --> 00:10:47,772
- Ella's coming.
- I've got Ella. You go.
207
00:10:50,316 --> 00:10:51,316
Go.
208
00:10:52,193 --> 00:10:53,193
Go.
209
00:10:53,611 --> 00:10:54,611
Hair flip.
210
00:10:54,987 --> 00:10:55,987
Yes.
211
00:10:57,990 --> 00:10:58,824
That's cute.
212
00:10:58,908 --> 00:11:00,076
[indistinct chatter]
213
00:11:00,159 --> 00:11:01,159
Sure.
214
00:11:02,286 --> 00:11:03,788
You came.
215
00:11:03,871 --> 00:11:07,667
Yeah, I mean, I said I was going to come,
so I couldn't just not show up.
216
00:11:08,668 --> 00:11:09,668
Right.
217
00:11:10,461 --> 00:11:14,423
I wanted to properly thank you again
for taking care of my daughter.
218
00:11:14,507 --> 00:11:16,133
- Yeah.
- It was really nice of you.
219
00:11:16,217 --> 00:11:19,136
And I'm sorry
if I thought you were a creep.
220
00:11:19,220 --> 00:11:20,054
I get it.
221
00:11:20,137 --> 00:11:22,223
There's a lot of child abduction booths
this year.
222
00:11:22,306 --> 00:11:23,933
- It's weird.
- [laughs]
223
00:11:24,016 --> 00:11:26,686
So, um, what was your booth for again?
224
00:11:26,769 --> 00:11:29,105
It was free legal advice. I'm a lawyer.
225
00:11:29,188 --> 00:11:30,356
So you are a creep.
226
00:11:31,065 --> 00:11:32,065
[forced laugh]
227
00:11:32,108 --> 00:11:35,361
No, I'm one of those rare good lawyers.
228
00:11:35,444 --> 00:11:36,654
[chuckles]
229
00:11:37,238 --> 00:11:38,238
I'm Tom.
230
00:11:39,281 --> 00:11:40,491
Lisa.
231
00:11:40,574 --> 00:11:42,159
What do you do, Lisa?
232
00:11:42,243 --> 00:11:43,243
Uh, I'm a writer.
233
00:11:44,704 --> 00:11:45,746
[Ella] Mom, come on!
234
00:11:45,830 --> 00:11:47,974
[Tom] Oh, are you guys going
to stay for the fireworks?
235
00:11:47,998 --> 00:11:49,083
Yeah, wouldn't miss it.
236
00:11:49,166 --> 00:11:51,561
- I know a great place to watch them from.
- We usually go to...
237
00:11:51,585 --> 00:11:53,045
[both] Windy Saddle Lookout.
238
00:11:53,879 --> 00:11:55,005
[chuckles] Huh.
239
00:11:57,299 --> 00:12:00,720
I'm surprised that we haven't
seen each other there before.
240
00:12:01,721 --> 00:12:03,764
Maybe we didn't know
what we were looking for.
241
00:12:08,853 --> 00:12:09,853
[Tom] Ooh!
242
00:12:16,694 --> 00:12:18,374
- Oh, that's purple.
- That was a good one.
243
00:12:18,404 --> 00:12:20,531
- I liked that that one's purple.
- Mm-hmm.
244
00:12:23,409 --> 00:12:24,409
So...
245
00:12:27,121 --> 00:12:29,206
Do you have a favorite restaurant?
246
00:12:30,416 --> 00:12:31,416
Yes.
247
00:12:32,126 --> 00:12:33,002
I said yes,
248
00:12:33,085 --> 00:12:35,296
and that's what brought me to Denver.
249
00:12:35,379 --> 00:12:37,047
Well, I'm glad you're here.
250
00:12:37,131 --> 00:12:38,132
Oh.
251
00:12:39,383 --> 00:12:41,218
I guess someone's
trying to give us a hint.
252
00:12:42,261 --> 00:12:44,513
[uplifting music]
253
00:13:09,205 --> 00:13:10,565
- Trick or treat!
- Trick or treat!
254
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,378
Ella, slow down!
255
00:13:18,214 --> 00:13:19,590
[laughs]
256
00:13:19,673 --> 00:13:20,508
[blows whistle]
257
00:13:20,591 --> 00:13:21,509
You missed.
258
00:13:21,592 --> 00:13:23,594
[uplifting music]
259
00:13:24,428 --> 00:13:26,305
[no audible dialogue]
260
00:13:36,065 --> 00:13:37,650
There you are.
261
00:13:38,526 --> 00:13:40,027
[laughs] Aw.
262
00:13:40,986 --> 00:13:41,862
I love you.
263
00:13:41,946 --> 00:13:43,155
I love you too.
264
00:13:43,823 --> 00:13:44,824
- Mm.
- Mm.
265
00:13:45,616 --> 00:13:46,826
I love you too.
266
00:13:47,827 --> 00:13:48,994
[whispers] Oh.
267
00:13:49,078 --> 00:13:50,078
Oh.
268
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,040
- Good night.
- Good night.
269
00:14:02,007 --> 00:14:03,717
[joyous music]
270
00:14:05,678 --> 00:14:07,221
[friend] Five months already.
271
00:14:09,056 --> 00:14:11,475
I don't think
I've ever seen you this happy before.
272
00:14:12,142 --> 00:14:13,894
It has been pretty magical.
273
00:14:13,978 --> 00:14:17,565
Mm-hmm. And oh, God,
Ella loves Tom so much.
274
00:14:17,648 --> 00:14:19,692
- I know, right?
- Mm-hmm.
275
00:14:19,775 --> 00:14:21,443
So what am I not seeing?
276
00:14:21,527 --> 00:14:22,528
What do you mean?
277
00:14:22,611 --> 00:14:25,489
Well, he can't be this perfect,
so what am I missing?
278
00:14:25,573 --> 00:14:26,448
Uh-uh, Lis.
279
00:14:26,532 --> 00:14:29,702
I am not going to let you
talk yourself out of this love story.
280
00:14:29,785 --> 00:14:31,328
I mean, what could possibly go wrong?
281
00:14:31,412 --> 00:14:32,496
Oh! God!
282
00:14:36,500 --> 00:14:39,920
Whoa! Sorry, I didn't see you there.
Are you okay?
283
00:14:40,004 --> 00:14:42,339
Yeah, I... I...
It just surprised me, that's all.
284
00:14:43,090 --> 00:14:45,092
You can never
go too big on Christmas, right?
285
00:14:45,885 --> 00:14:46,885
Hmm.
286
00:14:46,927 --> 00:14:48,137
Yeah. Come on, girl.
287
00:14:48,220 --> 00:14:50,264
- Right. Thank you.
- I got you.
288
00:14:51,181 --> 00:14:52,224
Merry Christmas.
289
00:14:52,308 --> 00:14:55,269
Maybe I should put that
in my Christmas article.
290
00:14:55,352 --> 00:14:58,314
Wait, Grant has you writing an article
about Christmas?
291
00:14:59,481 --> 00:15:00,566
[chuckles] Oh, boy.
292
00:15:00,649 --> 00:15:03,027
I can't wait to see how that turns out.
293
00:15:08,741 --> 00:15:10,659
Oh. That's sweet.
294
00:15:10,743 --> 00:15:11,743
[laughs]
295
00:15:13,287 --> 00:15:14,705
Hi. Assan.
296
00:15:14,788 --> 00:15:15,623
[laughs]
297
00:15:15,706 --> 00:15:16,999
Is everything okay?
298
00:15:17,082 --> 00:15:20,669
Absolutely, ladies.
Here, let me take your coats.
299
00:15:20,753 --> 00:15:21,795
Okay.
300
00:15:23,255 --> 00:15:24,882
We're going to get these back, right?
301
00:15:24,965 --> 00:15:27,384
Of course.
Tom just wants you to be comfortable.
302
00:15:27,468 --> 00:15:29,720
Oh, okay.
Well, you're scaring me a little.
303
00:15:30,554 --> 00:15:33,140
- You have no idea.
- What does that mean?
304
00:15:33,223 --> 00:15:35,267
Welcome to Christmas.
305
00:15:41,982 --> 00:15:43,609
Are we in the right place?
306
00:15:47,363 --> 00:15:49,365
[dramatic music]
307
00:16:04,171 --> 00:16:05,714
[train whistle blows]
308
00:16:14,264 --> 00:16:16,558
Hey. Sorry, guys.
I was running late. Welcome.
309
00:16:16,642 --> 00:16:18,811
- Ho, ho, ho, ho!
- [Sharon laughs]
310
00:16:19,561 --> 00:16:21,939
Merry Christmas!
311
00:16:22,022 --> 00:16:23,232
- Hi, Sharon.
- Hi.
312
00:16:23,315 --> 00:16:24,900
Hi. Merry Christmas.
313
00:16:24,984 --> 00:16:30,197
Yeah, um, what is going on?
Is this for real?
314
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,574
It's for real, every bit of it.
315
00:16:32,658 --> 00:16:34,868
Yeah, whatever contest you entered,
you won it.
316
00:16:34,952 --> 00:16:36,036
[Sharon and Tom laugh]
317
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,330
No, it's just to celebrate the season.
318
00:16:40,374 --> 00:16:41,374
Hmm.
319
00:16:41,875 --> 00:16:45,129
- Show them the photo wall.
- Oh, yeah, come this way.
320
00:16:46,296 --> 00:16:47,715
[plays festive music]
321
00:16:49,717 --> 00:16:52,261
Yeah, I got this whole setup here.
322
00:16:52,344 --> 00:16:56,015
We thought we could do some poses
with, like, props and things,
323
00:16:56,098 --> 00:16:57,474
and Santa himself.
324
00:16:57,558 --> 00:16:59,685
Okay, #NorthPoleFever.
325
00:17:01,895 --> 00:17:03,814
Are you guys pranking me?
326
00:17:03,897 --> 00:17:05,441
Ho, ho, ho!
327
00:17:05,524 --> 00:17:07,317
Sharon, are you in on this?
328
00:17:07,401 --> 00:17:08,527
Don't look at me.
329
00:17:08,610 --> 00:17:09,528
[laughs]
330
00:17:09,611 --> 00:17:10,654
You don't like it?
331
00:17:11,321 --> 00:17:13,866
I kind of famously don't like it.
332
00:17:13,949 --> 00:17:15,492
Have we not talked about this?
333
00:17:15,576 --> 00:17:18,871
No, that's... That's something
I would have remembered you saying.
334
00:17:19,997 --> 00:17:21,957
You do this every year?
335
00:17:22,041 --> 00:17:23,041
Yeah.
336
00:17:23,417 --> 00:17:24,710
But who's it for?
337
00:17:24,793 --> 00:17:29,089
Me. And you guys tonight.
I mean, mostly just 'cause it's Christmas.
338
00:17:29,173 --> 00:17:32,551
And as a reminder
to keep the spirit of the season alive.
339
00:17:32,634 --> 00:17:35,095
Couldn't you just put a Post-It note
on the fridge?
340
00:17:35,179 --> 00:17:36,847
[all laugh]
341
00:17:36,930 --> 00:17:39,683
Think of this as one massive Post-It note.
342
00:17:39,767 --> 00:17:42,061
Okay, but isn't it expensive?
343
00:17:42,144 --> 00:17:43,729
No.
344
00:17:43,812 --> 00:17:47,566
Yeah. If you added everything up,
I guess it's a lot of money.
345
00:17:47,649 --> 00:17:50,319
But I've had most of this stuff
since I was a kid.
346
00:17:50,402 --> 00:17:52,404
I don't buy all-new decorations
every year.
347
00:17:52,488 --> 00:17:56,241
Yeah, but it's still
Christmas-moving merchandise.
348
00:17:56,325 --> 00:18:00,287
I mean, would anybody
ever have a nutcracker
349
00:18:00,370 --> 00:18:02,581
or a stuffed reindeer
if it wasn't for Christmas?
350
00:18:02,664 --> 00:18:05,959
No, but you don't need
to spend money to decorate, right?
351
00:18:06,043 --> 00:18:08,629
I have a bunch
of homemade decorating ideas.
352
00:18:08,712 --> 00:18:10,631
Right? It's just about the spirit.
353
00:18:11,507 --> 00:18:13,926
Is this the work project
you had this weekend?
354
00:18:14,009 --> 00:18:15,552
Yeah. I mean, this was the fun part.
355
00:18:15,636 --> 00:18:19,014
The hard part was getting my work stuff
organized and up to the office.
356
00:18:20,974 --> 00:18:22,726
Why didn't you just tell me?
357
00:18:23,727 --> 00:18:25,521
I wanted to surprise you.
358
00:18:28,565 --> 00:18:29,817
Well, you did.
359
00:18:40,410 --> 00:18:42,079
I put the whole train together.
360
00:18:42,162 --> 00:18:44,456
Hmm. I hope Tom gave you a sticker.
361
00:18:44,540 --> 00:18:45,540
[Sharon chuckles]
362
00:18:46,583 --> 00:18:49,586
Now wait, it's not just decorations,
all right?
363
00:18:49,670 --> 00:18:52,714
Christmastime is also
about all the different holiday events.
364
00:18:52,798 --> 00:18:56,093
There are so many things
going on around town. Here, look.
365
00:18:57,177 --> 00:19:00,013
I am sure you guys
have been to some of them.
366
00:19:00,097 --> 00:19:01,598
I've been to all of them.
367
00:19:02,099 --> 00:19:03,225
[both laugh]
368
00:19:03,308 --> 00:19:06,145
I mean, there's tree lighting,
Christmas carol singing,
369
00:19:06,228 --> 00:19:07,479
holiday productions.
370
00:19:07,563 --> 00:19:10,941
It's fun just to walk around town
and take in Christmas energy.
371
00:19:11,024 --> 00:19:11,900
Is it?
372
00:19:11,984 --> 00:19:15,070
Okay, look, I get it.
You don't like Christmas.
373
00:19:15,154 --> 00:19:18,240
But let me show you how fun it can be.
374
00:19:18,907 --> 00:19:21,535
Well, I guess Ella
will enjoy a couple of these.
375
00:19:21,618 --> 00:19:22,618
Oh.
376
00:19:23,662 --> 00:19:25,706
So is Ella with her dad tonight?
377
00:19:25,789 --> 00:19:29,835
Yep, they have a big cardboard
sledding competition coming up.
378
00:19:29,918 --> 00:19:32,421
I bet I know what the key is. Duct tape.
379
00:19:32,921 --> 00:19:35,340
- What? Duct tape?
- [Assan] You know what they say?
380
00:19:35,424 --> 00:19:40,012
If duct tape can't solve your problem,
you're not using enough duct tape.
381
00:19:40,095 --> 00:19:42,598
- Oh, I will pass that along.
- [laughs]
382
00:19:42,681 --> 00:19:45,184
[oven timer dings]
Oh! But wait, there's more.
383
00:19:45,267 --> 00:19:46,560
Ah, more food?
384
00:19:46,643 --> 00:19:47,686
- [Tom] Yeah.
- Oh, boy.
385
00:19:47,769 --> 00:19:49,605
Anyone for pumpkin pie?
386
00:19:50,856 --> 00:19:52,691
- [Assan] I'll find room.
- I will too.
387
00:19:52,774 --> 00:19:54,109
Move over, rice balls.
388
00:19:55,360 --> 00:19:56,360
[Lisa] Thank you.
389
00:19:57,279 --> 00:19:58,530
- Bye.
- Bye.
390
00:19:58,614 --> 00:20:00,991
- [driver] Are you here for Pasha?
- Yeah. I'm Lisa.
391
00:20:04,786 --> 00:20:08,707
So, Lisa, not a fan of Christmas.
392
00:20:08,790 --> 00:20:10,292
I sensed that.
393
00:20:11,210 --> 00:20:13,295
Well, if she survives it, anyway.
394
00:20:13,378 --> 00:20:14,378
Hmm.
395
00:20:14,922 --> 00:20:19,009
- I noticed you didn't mention Santa.
- Oh, that's not a hill I'm ready to climb.
396
00:20:21,762 --> 00:20:23,388
Maybe I can get her to like it.
397
00:20:23,472 --> 00:20:24,973
[screams]
398
00:20:25,057 --> 00:20:26,350
What the... Are you okay?
399
00:20:26,433 --> 00:20:29,436
Yes, we're fine. Sorry about that.
Just keep driving.
400
00:20:29,519 --> 00:20:30,919
She's just working some things out.
401
00:20:31,521 --> 00:20:33,732
My boyfriend loves Christmas.
402
00:20:34,233 --> 00:20:36,610
- My boyfriend.
- Yeah, did not see that coming.
403
00:20:37,110 --> 00:20:38,195
What I supposed to do now?
404
00:20:38,278 --> 00:20:41,031
Just break up
and then get back together in January?
405
00:20:41,114 --> 00:20:44,868
You and Tom are like the dream couple.
You can handle a bit of Christmas fun.
406
00:20:44,952 --> 00:20:46,995
Oh, that was not fun.
407
00:20:47,621 --> 00:20:48,872
That was weird.
408
00:20:48,956 --> 00:20:51,375
I mean, all the decorations,
all that time.
409
00:20:51,458 --> 00:20:54,711
He took three straight days
to do that place.
410
00:20:54,795 --> 00:20:56,755
Well, we know that Tom
can get hyper-focused.
411
00:20:56,838 --> 00:20:58,090
That's the lawyer side of him.
412
00:20:58,173 --> 00:21:00,759
And the guy who never has time
to do stuff on the weekdays
413
00:21:00,842 --> 00:21:03,303
now has all this time
to do Christmas stuff?
414
00:21:03,387 --> 00:21:04,554
That's the beauty of it.
415
00:21:04,638 --> 00:21:06,798
And all that stuff
that he was talking about at dinner,
416
00:21:06,848 --> 00:21:09,268
and the sleigh rides,
and the Christmas movies, whatever,
417
00:21:09,893 --> 00:21:12,521
you're going to get
to see each other every single day.
418
00:21:14,273 --> 00:21:16,108
To celebrate Christmas.
419
00:21:16,191 --> 00:21:17,859
Yeah, well, that's the challenge.
420
00:21:17,943 --> 00:21:22,197
And I know just how we're gonna
have you jump right into the deep end.
421
00:21:22,281 --> 00:21:23,448
Give me your phone.
422
00:21:24,074 --> 00:21:25,617
Give me your phone.
423
00:21:26,868 --> 00:21:27,868
Thank you.
424
00:21:28,287 --> 00:21:29,538
[Assan] Yes!
425
00:21:29,621 --> 00:21:30,872
[train whistle blows]
426
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,418
Oh, I'm good.
427
00:21:38,005 --> 00:21:39,589
Yeah, thanks for the help, Spielberg.
428
00:21:40,507 --> 00:21:41,507
I did the train.
429
00:21:41,967 --> 00:21:43,447
- [scoffs] Yeah.
- [cell phone chimes]
430
00:21:45,304 --> 00:21:46,304
That's Lisa.
431
00:21:47,472 --> 00:21:49,224
Oh. Sorry, buddy.
432
00:21:50,017 --> 00:21:51,226
You guys had a good run.
433
00:21:52,644 --> 00:21:56,148
No, she wants me to show her
some of my homemade decorating ideas.
434
00:21:56,231 --> 00:21:57,231
[cell phone chimes]
435
00:21:57,774 --> 00:22:01,236
"Tomorrow with Ella after school.
I want to give Christmas a chance."
436
00:22:02,863 --> 00:22:05,699
Huh. That is not the vibe
I got as they were leaving.
437
00:22:06,366 --> 00:22:08,006
Well, that's the Christmas magic at work.
438
00:22:08,952 --> 00:22:11,180
All right, I got to go to my storage unit
in the morning,
439
00:22:11,204 --> 00:22:13,874
pick up my backup ornaments.
I can use those for her tree,
440
00:22:13,957 --> 00:22:16,501
because that is still technically
not spending any money.
441
00:22:16,585 --> 00:22:17,585
You got work tomorrow.
442
00:22:18,837 --> 00:22:19,963
I can call in sick.
443
00:22:20,547 --> 00:22:21,631
[laughs]
444
00:22:21,715 --> 00:22:23,050
You're gonna call in sick?
445
00:22:23,133 --> 00:22:25,093
Yeah, why? Wait, how do you call in sick?
446
00:22:25,594 --> 00:22:26,834
Do you call the nurse's office?
447
00:22:26,887 --> 00:22:28,680
Do we have a nurse's office
at my law firm?
448
00:22:28,764 --> 00:22:29,890
Call your assistant.
449
00:22:29,973 --> 00:22:31,350
Yes. I'm gonna call my assistant.
450
00:22:31,975 --> 00:22:32,893
- Tom.
- Yes?
451
00:22:32,976 --> 00:22:34,576
- Take a breath here.
- [inhales sharply]
452
00:22:35,354 --> 00:22:36,396
- Bigger.
- [inhales]
453
00:22:37,189 --> 00:22:38,189
[exhales]
454
00:22:38,815 --> 00:22:40,192
Just write back to Lisa.
455
00:22:40,275 --> 00:22:42,361
Oh, right. Yes.
456
00:22:43,111 --> 00:22:44,529
Writing back to...
457
00:22:46,865 --> 00:22:47,865
Okay.
458
00:22:51,370 --> 00:22:52,370
Well?
459
00:22:53,121 --> 00:22:55,540
He's in for tomorrow.
460
00:22:56,041 --> 00:22:56,917
A Monday.
461
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,210
Tomorrow night?
462
00:22:58,293 --> 00:22:59,753
- All day.
- Ah!
463
00:23:00,796 --> 00:23:02,547
- Hallelujah!
- You girls scream too much.
464
00:23:03,673 --> 00:23:05,342
But Pasha, it's Christmas.
465
00:23:09,388 --> 00:23:10,222
[laughs]
466
00:23:10,305 --> 00:23:12,307
[festive music]
467
00:23:37,874 --> 00:23:38,959
- [Lisa gasps]
- Hey.
468
00:23:39,042 --> 00:23:40,085
T-Tom.
469
00:23:40,168 --> 00:23:42,504
Lisa, you're leaving?
470
00:23:43,588 --> 00:23:45,090
I thought you were coming at 11:00.
471
00:23:45,674 --> 00:23:47,926
Sorry, I was up,
and then the storage place was open,
472
00:23:48,009 --> 00:23:50,762
and I got moving,
and I thought if you were up early...
473
00:23:50,846 --> 00:23:52,472
I have to go into the office.
474
00:23:52,556 --> 00:23:53,974
You're not working from home today?
475
00:23:54,474 --> 00:23:55,767
We have a staff meeting.
476
00:23:55,851 --> 00:23:56,851
[sighs]
477
00:23:59,104 --> 00:24:00,647
Are we going to use all of that?
478
00:24:02,441 --> 00:24:05,902
Um, there's two more crates by the car.
479
00:24:09,448 --> 00:24:11,950
Are you gonna be okay here by yourself?
480
00:24:12,033 --> 00:24:13,410
Oh, absolutely. Yes.
481
00:24:13,493 --> 00:24:17,080
No, I still need to go through
all these backup ornaments that I got.
482
00:24:17,164 --> 00:24:19,249
- And do you have any ornaments?
- Oh. Yeah.
483
00:24:19,332 --> 00:24:22,395
- We should see how many we have total.
- That's my Christmas box right there.
484
00:24:22,419 --> 00:24:25,297
Great. I will go through the box
and the ornaments.
485
00:24:25,380 --> 00:24:27,090
You go to work. Don't worry about it.
486
00:24:27,924 --> 00:24:31,136
- All right. There is some coffee left.
- Do you have cocoa?
487
00:24:32,387 --> 00:24:34,681
- Since when do you drink hot chocolate?
- Cocoa?
488
00:24:35,474 --> 00:24:38,018
That is one of the many joys of Christmas.
489
00:24:38,935 --> 00:24:41,563
Oh, okay. No, I don't have cocoa.
490
00:24:41,646 --> 00:24:42,856
I will grab some.
491
00:24:42,939 --> 00:24:44,065
- Okay.
- Okay.
492
00:24:44,149 --> 00:24:45,609
Mwah! Off to work I go.
493
00:24:45,692 --> 00:24:46,776
Off you go.
494
00:24:50,822 --> 00:24:52,199
Mm-hmm.
495
00:24:52,282 --> 00:24:54,868
We need more clicks.
We're not... Nobody's opening us up.
496
00:24:54,951 --> 00:24:57,537
And if nobody opens us up,
then we don't come to work.
497
00:24:57,621 --> 00:24:59,414
So we want them to see something
498
00:24:59,498 --> 00:25:02,125
that makes them want to stay there
and then go to the next thing.
499
00:25:02,209 --> 00:25:04,419
- Lisa, you with us?
- Yup. Yes, Grant.
500
00:25:04,503 --> 00:25:07,964
Great. So we got to come up
with some new ideas.
501
00:25:11,426 --> 00:25:12,719
[faint rattling]
502
00:25:13,595 --> 00:25:15,235
[Grant] More spitballing different ideas.
503
00:25:15,305 --> 00:25:18,850
Somebody threw out something
about this hipsters' climbers club.
504
00:25:21,102 --> 00:25:23,980
I mean, and what the hell,
Glenn's obsession with ASMR.
505
00:25:24,064 --> 00:25:25,504
I don't even know what that's about.
506
00:25:25,565 --> 00:25:28,151
I'm glad he didn't come in today.
I was going to...
507
00:25:28,235 --> 00:25:29,361
[Lisa] Christmas.
508
00:25:29,861 --> 00:25:31,571
One man's obsession,
509
00:25:32,405 --> 00:25:33,949
one woman's nightmare.
510
00:25:35,075 --> 00:25:36,993
Ta-da! Cocoa.
511
00:25:37,077 --> 00:25:38,954
Wow, that's fancy.
512
00:25:39,538 --> 00:25:42,874
I put the tiniest little bit of nutmeg
in it to give it a kick.
513
00:25:43,542 --> 00:25:45,877
- I have nutmeg?
- I grabbed a whole one while I was out.
514
00:25:45,961 --> 00:25:48,171
You gotta grind it fresh
or it loses its flavor.
515
00:25:48,255 --> 00:25:49,839
- Oh, is that, right?
- That is right.
516
00:25:50,465 --> 00:25:52,759
Well, it's not your mom's hot chocolate.
517
00:25:52,842 --> 00:25:55,762
Oh, no, no. It is cocoa.
518
00:25:59,724 --> 00:26:01,518
- Mmm. Wow.
- Oh!
519
00:26:01,601 --> 00:26:04,604
- That is delicious.
- Okay. Okay.
520
00:26:04,688 --> 00:26:06,398
Can I show you what I've been up to?
521
00:26:06,481 --> 00:26:07,983
- Yeah, lead the way.
- Come on.
522
00:26:08,066 --> 00:26:09,066
So...
523
00:26:10,527 --> 00:26:12,487
ornaments all ready to hang.
524
00:26:12,571 --> 00:26:14,155
Had to add a hook to a few of them.
525
00:26:14,239 --> 00:26:17,492
And the lights.
I checked all the strands for dead bulbs.

- Good.

Oh, and then a tree, I thought I could
clear a spot right here in the corner.

- Yeah.

Hmm. My parents
never really had fun, ever.
542
00:27:26,269 --> 00:27:29,230

Like what?

00:28:22,659 --> 00:28:24,452
- An iPhone.
- [Tom] Ha.
562
00:28:24,536 --> 00:28:28,164
Oh, I don't think that the elves
have iPhone technology.
563
00:28:28,248 --> 00:28:29,916
They can make an iPhone.
564
00:28:29,999 --> 00:28:33,628
Uh, I'm pretty sure
they don't make iPhones at the North Pole.
565

They can make anything you want
at the North Pole.

Oh, um, Tom, go with me here.
567

I heard there's an age limit for iPhones.
568
00:28:43,388 --> 00:28:44,764
Santa said it was 11.

Oh, um, Santa doesn't bring presents
to kids older than 10.
571
00:28:53,314 --> 00:28:54,899
Not the point, Tom.
572
00:28:55,692 --> 00:28:59,696
I heard that he thinks eight
is too young for an iPhone.

Oh, yes, right.
574
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,368
Well, your mom is right.
Santa knows everything about you,

and he can't bring you a present
that you're not ready for.

Fine.

Let's get a tree. Let's go.

to walk around

All right,
we have to leave it here overnight to dry,

all of our ornaments ready

is Santa gonna want
to bring him a present?

00:36:29,937 --> 00:36:33,065
Well, Santa Claus is coming to town,
and I got ads to sell.
703
00:36:33,774 --> 00:36:35,568
Cha-ching. Let's have it.
704
00:36:35,651 --> 00:36:36,651
You got it.
705
00:36:39,488 --> 00:36:41,866
And that's why he has resting Grinch face.
706
00:36:43,576 --> 00:36:45,161
[festive music]
707
00:36:46,621 --> 00:36:50,625
So then Ella asked
how Scrooge died but didn't die.
708
00:36:50,708 --> 00:36:54,086
She may have missed a few plot points,
but I think she got the idea.
709
00:36:54,170 --> 00:36:55,463
No, she loved it.
710
00:36:55,546 --> 00:36:57,466
- [Tom] Yeah, yeah.
- [Assan] Oh, that's awesome.
711
00:36:57,924 --> 00:36:58,924
No offense, Tom,
712
00:36:58,966 --> 00:37:02,136
but I was ready for a year off
from A Christmas Carol.
713
00:37:02,220 --> 00:37:04,639
- Oh, offense taken.
- [laughter]
714
00:37:04,722 --> 00:37:07,767
On behalf of me and Ebenezer.
He's very sensitive.
715
00:37:07,850 --> 00:37:08,768
[Assan] I'm sorry.
716
00:37:08,851 --> 00:37:11,687
This whole week has been
super eye-opening.
717
00:37:11,771 --> 00:37:16,192
Oh, look at you, getting your Santa on.
Okay, I'm proud of you.
718
00:37:16,275 --> 00:37:17,652
- Thank you.
- [laughs]
719
00:37:17,735 --> 00:37:18,986
Oh my gosh, and Tom,
720
00:37:19,070 --> 00:37:21,072
thank you for talking
to Ella about Santa Claus.
721
00:37:21,155 --> 00:37:23,241
I always dread that conversation.
722
00:37:23,324 --> 00:37:24,324
How come?
723
00:37:25,076 --> 00:37:28,120
Well, I don't want to rob her
of the fun of believing in Santa,
724
00:37:28,204 --> 00:37:30,081
but I feel bad lying to her
725
00:37:30,164 --> 00:37:32,124
and I don't want her
to get teased at school
726
00:37:32,208 --> 00:37:33,834
for still believing.
727
00:37:33,918 --> 00:37:36,295
[friend] Oh my God. I got teased
so bad in the third grade.
728
00:37:36,379 --> 00:37:39,340
There was this uppity rich girl,
Jennifer Alerdese,
729
00:37:39,423 --> 00:37:40,967
who controlled the whole class.
730
00:37:41,050 --> 00:37:43,886
So when she stopped believing,
everybody else had to too.
731
00:37:43,970 --> 00:37:46,555
I was the lone holdout that Christmas.
732
00:37:46,639 --> 00:37:47,682
So tragic.
733
00:37:47,765 --> 00:37:50,434
Oh, poor little baby Sharon. I'm sorry.
734
00:37:50,518 --> 00:37:51,936
I know, right? Oh God.
735
00:37:52,019 --> 00:37:53,312
[all laugh]
736
00:37:57,108 --> 00:37:59,235
But what if he is real?
737
00:37:59,318 --> 00:38:00,319
[Sharon] Who? Santa?
738
00:38:02,822 --> 00:38:05,283
Yeah, what if the believers are right
739
00:38:05,366 --> 00:38:07,118
and the doubters are wrong?
740
00:38:07,910 --> 00:38:10,496
- Like in third grade?
- No, like always.
741
00:38:12,915 --> 00:38:14,208
That Santa Claus is real?
742
00:38:16,794 --> 00:38:17,794
Yeah.
743
00:38:19,171 --> 00:38:20,673
[laughs] Shut up.
744
00:38:22,133 --> 00:38:23,259
No, for real.
745
00:38:23,968 --> 00:38:25,052
Tom.
746
00:38:26,387 --> 00:38:27,638
Uh-oh.
747
00:38:27,722 --> 00:38:32,601
Okay, so you think that there's a real guy
who travels around the world in one night
748
00:38:32,685 --> 00:38:34,603
and brings presents to everybody?
749
00:38:34,687 --> 00:38:36,939
Well, just to children, but yes.
750
00:38:38,316 --> 00:38:40,860
You can't be serious.
751
00:38:40,943 --> 00:38:43,904
You believe that there's a guy
who lives in the North Pole
752
00:38:43,988 --> 00:38:46,032
and has elves making toys.
753
00:38:46,115 --> 00:38:47,658
Yep. All that.
754
00:38:50,119 --> 00:38:51,746
But that's not possible, Tom.
755
00:38:51,829 --> 00:38:56,375
That's why kids stop believing,
because they start to understand the logic
756
00:38:56,459 --> 00:38:58,419
and it doesn't make sense.
757
00:38:58,502 --> 00:39:01,881
It's not about logic. It's about magic.
758
00:39:02,882 --> 00:39:05,551
Oh, so you think that magic is real?
759
00:39:05,634 --> 00:39:08,179
Christmas magic. Yeah.
760
00:39:15,186 --> 00:39:16,854
Okay, let's just go with it.
761
00:39:16,937 --> 00:39:18,481
- Mm-hmm. Yeah.
- [Lisa] Yeah.
762
00:39:18,564 --> 00:39:22,485
So you believe that this guy has a sleigh
763
00:39:22,568 --> 00:39:23,986
and it's pulled by reindeer.
764
00:39:24,070 --> 00:39:24,945
Yes.
765
00:39:25,029 --> 00:39:26,197
Reindeer can fly?
766
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,324
Yes, through Christmas magic.
767
00:39:28,407 --> 00:39:30,743
And he has a sack
that's full of millions of toys?
768
00:39:30,826 --> 00:39:31,952
Yes, he does.
769
00:39:32,036 --> 00:39:34,914
- Because of Christmas magic.
- Couldn't happen without it.
770
00:39:40,503 --> 00:39:43,005
I just really can't tell
if you're being serious or not.
771
00:39:43,756 --> 00:39:48,469
Okay, how does he get around
the entire world in one night?
772
00:39:49,011 --> 00:39:51,764
And don't just say "Christmas magic."
773
00:39:52,390 --> 00:39:53,224
[chuckles]
774
00:39:53,307 --> 00:39:54,433
That's part of it, though.
775
00:39:54,517 --> 00:39:58,979
But also, he obviously lives
in a different version of time than we do.
776
00:40:00,231 --> 00:40:01,792
- What's that now?
- Well, think about it.
777
00:40:01,816 --> 00:40:04,026
He can get around the world in one night.
778
00:40:04,110 --> 00:40:05,986
He lives longer than any other person.
779
00:40:06,070 --> 00:40:08,572
That's just about the concept of time.
780
00:40:08,656 --> 00:40:11,409
He lives in one model of time
and we live in another.
781
00:40:11,492 --> 00:40:15,413
I thought you were the guy
who makes a living dealing in rules
782
00:40:15,496 --> 00:40:17,081
and proof and logic.
783
00:40:17,164 --> 00:40:20,501
Yes. Let's talk logic, right?
Let's look at it from your side.
784
00:40:21,210 --> 00:40:23,963
What you're saying is
there's a completely made-up story
785
00:40:24,046 --> 00:40:27,091
that over 2 billion people agree on?
786
00:40:27,174 --> 00:40:29,051
And that every parent in America
787
00:40:29,135 --> 00:40:33,305
is part of some
vast conspiracy to perpetuate a lie,
788
00:40:33,931 --> 00:40:35,975
but the exact same lie.
789
00:40:36,058 --> 00:40:38,352
All right, that seems a lot less logical
790
00:40:38,436 --> 00:40:42,273
than there's a real person
with Christmas magic that we celebrate.
791
00:40:42,356 --> 00:40:44,650
Yeah, but not everybody
celebrates Christmas.
792
00:40:44,733 --> 00:40:46,902
In most of the world, they do.
793
00:40:47,486 --> 00:40:50,239
Assan, you're a Muslim.
Do you have something to add here?
794
00:40:50,322 --> 00:40:53,409
I fought this fight years ago.
You're on your own.
795
00:40:53,492 --> 00:40:57,163
- Assan celebrates Christmas.
- Oh, I'm pretty sure he doesn't.
796
00:40:57,246 --> 00:41:00,249
He doesn't celebrate Christmas
as a religious holiday.
797
00:41:00,332 --> 00:41:03,335
I'm talking about Santa's Christmas.
798
00:41:03,419 --> 00:41:05,129
All right, when you find yourself
799
00:41:05,212 --> 00:41:07,715
humming along
to a Christmas carol on the radio,
800
00:41:08,382 --> 00:41:10,217
you're celebrating Christmas.
801
00:41:10,301 --> 00:41:14,013
When you go to a holiday party
or make plans to see family,
802
00:41:14,096 --> 00:41:15,389
you're celebrating Christmas.
803
00:41:15,473 --> 00:41:18,476
Those are just holiday things
that we can't escape.
804
00:41:18,559 --> 00:41:21,395
I mean, "escape" suggests
that we're all trapped somehow.
805
00:41:21,479 --> 00:41:24,773
But we're not.
We look forward to Christmas every year.
806
00:41:25,608 --> 00:41:29,028
It's the one thing
that brings everybody together.
807
00:41:29,111 --> 00:41:33,616
And you're trying to tell me
that a unifying energy like that,
808
00:41:33,699 --> 00:41:37,620
a global presence
that transcends country and religion
809
00:41:37,703 --> 00:41:39,788
isn't because of a real person?
810
00:41:42,166 --> 00:41:48,380
Well, I think Santa
as a spirit of Christmas is real,
811
00:41:48,464 --> 00:41:50,799
- like you obviously do.
- [Tom] I do, yes.
812
00:41:50,883 --> 00:41:53,177
But I'm not making a joke.
813
00:41:54,261 --> 00:41:56,096
I believe in Santa Claus.
814
00:41:57,431 --> 00:41:59,266
[screams]
815
00:41:59,350 --> 00:42:01,060
- Are you okay?
- Yeah, she'll be fine.
816
00:42:01,143 --> 00:42:03,062
Don't worry about her. Just keep driving.
817
00:42:03,145 --> 00:42:05,314
Okay, we're fine. Go ahead. Drive.
818
00:42:06,482 --> 00:42:08,859
My boyfriend believes in Santa Claus.
819
00:42:09,944 --> 00:42:11,487
My wife believes in astrology.
820
00:42:11,570 --> 00:42:13,280
- Not talking to you.
- Sorry.
821
00:42:14,657 --> 00:42:15,699
[quietly] Gemini.
822
00:42:15,783 --> 00:42:17,284
This is totally insane.
823
00:42:18,035 --> 00:42:21,080
Okay, I mean,
he did make some good points in there.
824
00:42:21,163 --> 00:42:22,623
It makes you think.
825
00:42:22,706 --> 00:42:26,919
No, no, Sharon, not you too.
You want me just to be okay with this?
826
00:42:27,002 --> 00:42:29,421
Well, you said yourself
that you had a great week with Tom.
827
00:42:29,505 --> 00:42:32,091
Yeah, with Tom and Santa.
828
00:42:32,174 --> 00:42:33,175
[Sharon] And Ella.
829
00:42:33,676 --> 00:42:37,972
Oh God, now I have two people
to convince that Santa isn't real.
830
00:42:41,433 --> 00:42:42,560
She didn't storm out.
831
00:42:43,811 --> 00:42:45,187
She didn't like it, though.
832
00:42:48,649 --> 00:42:49,775
No one likes it, Tom.
833
00:42:50,609 --> 00:42:51,986
That's hoping for too much.
834
00:42:52,736 --> 00:42:54,446
I thought you liked it.
835
00:42:54,530 --> 00:42:58,784
I like you, buddy.
The whole Santa thing is... whatever.
836
00:42:59,952 --> 00:43:01,370
So you think I'm crazy, too.
837
00:43:01,954 --> 00:43:03,497
No, I didn't say that.
838
00:43:04,957 --> 00:43:08,460
Look, if we'll never really know
if Santa is real,
839
00:43:08,544 --> 00:43:13,048
then I'm happy to believe with you,
for you, for us being friends.
840
00:43:14,216 --> 00:43:16,552
I don't have the same conviction you do
841
00:43:16,635 --> 00:43:19,471
because it's not that important to me
either way.
842
00:43:20,848 --> 00:43:24,393
So what do I do? I have the tree lighting
on the schedule for Monday.
843
00:43:25,144 --> 00:43:28,022
Well, sometimes
you have to adjust your schedule
844
00:43:28,105 --> 00:43:29,815
to consider other people's needs.
845
00:43:30,608 --> 00:43:33,027
You want to write
a killer article about Christmas?
846
00:43:33,652 --> 00:43:36,280
I think you just found your in.
847
00:43:37,323 --> 00:43:39,283
No, I don't think I can take it.
848
00:43:39,366 --> 00:43:41,660
No, don't run away. Go deeper.
849
00:43:41,744 --> 00:43:43,579
There's so much more to unpack here.
850
00:43:43,662 --> 00:43:46,749
This is better than an article
that writes itself.
851
00:43:46,832 --> 00:43:48,626
It can be written by Santa.
852
00:43:49,209 --> 00:43:51,211
- Bottom line is, you love her.
- I do.
853
00:43:51,712 --> 00:43:53,672
- And she loves you.
- I hope.
854
00:43:54,173 --> 00:43:57,301
So then have some faith
that she'll accept you for who you are.
855
00:43:57,384 --> 00:43:58,802
I will try to have some faith.
856
00:43:58,886 --> 00:44:00,471
- All right.
- Yes. Thank you.
857
00:44:00,554 --> 00:44:02,514
Hey, that's what elves are for.
858
00:44:02,598 --> 00:44:04,099
Yeah. You're the best.
859
00:44:06,894 --> 00:44:08,145
- Good night.
- Night.

to put your lack of faith onto Ella.
1047
00:53:27,329 --> 00:53:29,456
Okay, Ella is my daughter, Tom.
1048
00:53:32,042 --> 00:53:34,085
Yes, that... You're right.
1049
00:53:34,169 --> 00:53:37,255
[sighs] I don't really want
to make a big deal out of this.
1050
00:53:37,339 --> 00:53:39,507
- I am sorry.
- I just have to protect my kid.
1051
00:53:42,510 --> 00:53:43,510
I get it.
1052
00:53:45,889 --> 00:53:49,726
Tom, can you read me "The Grinch" tonight?
1053
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:55,232
Oh, you know what? I gotta keep working.
But your mom can do it.
1054
00:53:56,149 --> 00:53:58,318
She's not as good at the Grinch voice.
1055
00:53:58,401 --> 00:54:02,239
- Huh?
- Well, thank you, but duty calls.
1056
00:54:03,073 --> 00:54:04,073
Fine.
1057
00:54:04,866 --> 00:54:06,076
Are you coming, Mom?
1058
00:54:07,244 --> 00:54:10,038
I'm not your mom. I'm the Grinch.
1059
00:54:10,121 --> 00:54:11,331
See?
1060
00:54:11,957 --> 00:54:12,832
I do.
1061
00:54:12,916 --> 00:54:15,252
- Oh, I am the Grinch!
- [Ella laughs]
1062
00:54:15,335 --> 00:54:17,379
I am the Grinch! I am the Grinch!
1063
00:54:17,462 --> 00:54:19,256
That's not a Grinch thing.

1077
00:56:31,471 --> 00:56:32,305
great.
1078
00:56:32,389 --> 00:56:33,515
Um...
1079
00:56:35,183 --> 00:56:36,851
I'm gonna look so...
1080
00:56:38,645 --> 00:56:39,645
festive.
1081
00:56:39,687 --> 00:56:40,687
Yeah.
1082
00:56:43,775 --> 00:56:45,777
Ho! Ho! Ho!
1083
00:56:47,404 --> 00:56:48,405
Oh.
1084

[groans]
1089
00:57:16,224 --> 00:57:17,684
So how was work?
1090
00:57:17,767 --> 00:57:19,018
It was good. Busy.
1091
00:57:19,602 --> 00:57:22,313
- Is Ella still here?
- No, she left with Robert already.
1092
00:57:22,397 --> 00:57:25,775
I figured. I wanted to catch her,
because I put all my Christmas songs
1093
00:57:25,859 --> 00:57:27,193
on this flash drive for her.
1094
00:57:27,277 --> 00:57:29,277
- Yeah, well, you can give it to her later.
- Yeah.
1095
00:57:29,779 --> 00:57:31,948
Are we going to pound those
before you go get ready?
1096
00:57:32,866 --> 00:57:33,783
For what?
1097
00:57:33,867 --> 00:57:35,160
For the sleigh ride.
1098
00:57:36,077 --> 00:57:37,412
- Oh, that's tonight?
- Yeah.
1099
00:57:38,246 --> 00:57:40,957
I really thought you said it was Saturday.
1100
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:43,710
No, tomorrow is the Christmas carol
sing-along.
1101
00:57:43,793 --> 00:57:45,128
The sleigh ride's tonight.
1102
00:57:46,045 --> 00:57:51,718
Oh, well, what if we just took a night off
from all things Christmas?
1103
00:57:52,427 --> 00:57:53,595
It's totally sold out.
1104
00:57:53,678 --> 00:57:56,181
So this is the only night we can go.
1105
00:57:56,264 --> 00:57:58,475
Yeah, but what if we didn't go?
1106
00:57:58,558 --> 00:57:59,767
I go every year.
1107
00:58:00,768 --> 00:58:04,230
Tom. Look at yourself. You're exhausted.
1108
00:58:04,731 --> 00:58:07,775
You can't keep burning
the Christmas candle at both ends.
1109
00:58:08,359 --> 00:58:09,402
I will be fine.
1110
00:58:09,486 --> 00:58:11,571
Okay. Well, I don't feel like going
1111
00:58:11,654 --> 00:58:14,365
and getting bundled up
to just freeze on a sleigh ride.
1112
00:58:14,949 --> 00:58:17,744
They have hot drinks,
and it's a pretty mild night.
1113
00:58:17,827 --> 00:58:19,412
- Okay, Tom...
- Once you get there,
1114
00:58:19,496 --> 00:58:21,164
you'll see it's really fun.
1115
00:58:21,247 --> 00:58:24,000
Okay, Tom, I said I don't want to go.
1116
00:58:25,293 --> 00:58:29,506
Yeah, but I planned on going.
So I feel like I really need to go.
1117
00:58:31,883 --> 00:58:32,883
Then go.
1118
00:58:37,180 --> 00:58:38,180
You're not coming?
1119
00:58:38,890 --> 00:58:39,890
I'm not.
1120
00:58:41,893 --> 00:58:44,354
Hey. You can't give up on Christmas now.
1121
00:58:44,437 --> 00:58:46,314
Okay, I'm not giving up, Tom.
1122
00:58:46,898 --> 00:58:48,358
I just need a break.
1123
00:58:48,942 --> 00:58:50,235
Christmas is a break.
1124
00:58:50,318 --> 00:58:53,279
This is when we all get
to be the better versions of ourselves.
1125
00:58:53,905 --> 00:58:55,156
Is that what this is?
1126
00:58:55,949 --> 00:58:57,659
The better version of Tom?
1127
00:58:58,201 --> 00:59:00,578
- Yes.
- All right, I thought so too.
1128
00:59:00,662 --> 00:59:04,040
Because I thought that you were,
you know, interrupting your work schedule
1129
00:59:04,123 --> 00:59:07,669
to make time to do Christmassy things
with me and Ella.
1130
00:59:08,419 --> 00:59:11,214
Well, now I realize that you
weren't making time for us.
1131
00:59:11,923 --> 00:59:13,633
You're making time for Santa.
1132
00:59:14,676 --> 00:59:16,844
Because it's a celebration.
1133
00:59:16,928 --> 00:59:19,681
No, Tom. It's an obsession.
1134
00:59:19,764 --> 00:59:24,018
It isn't all just joy and fun
and rainbows, okay?
1135
00:59:24,602 --> 00:59:29,232
To some of us,
it is empty rituals and broken promises,
1136
00:59:29,315 --> 00:59:30,608
and sometimes, Tom,
1137
00:59:31,484 --> 00:59:33,236
it really doesn't feel good.
1138
00:59:37,865 --> 00:59:38,908
[sighs]
1139
00:59:42,203 --> 00:59:47,333
Okay, when I was seven years old
I found a Barbie in my parents' closet.
1140
00:59:48,042 --> 00:59:50,753
It was supposed to be to me from Santa.
1141
00:59:52,463 --> 00:59:55,508
And when I told them about it,
they didn't give it to me.
1142
00:59:56,092 --> 01:00:00,680
They returned it and they blamed me
for ruining my own Christmas.
1143
01:00:01,889 --> 01:00:05,393
And Santa didn't show up again after that.
1144
01:00:06,311 --> 01:00:09,063
- I'm sorry.
- They put their precious rituals
1145
01:00:09,147 --> 01:00:11,190
ahead of that little girl's feelings.
1146
01:00:13,067 --> 01:00:15,903
And now it's happening again.
1147
01:00:17,864 --> 01:00:18,864
Oh.
1148
01:00:20,158 --> 01:00:21,158
Okay.
1149
01:00:24,537 --> 01:00:25,537

1150
01:00:30,376 --> 01:00:32,295
What can I do to make this okay?
1151
01:00:32,795 --> 01:00:33,713
You can't, Tom.
1152
01:00:33,796 --> 01:00:39,135
You can't just wave some magic
Christmas wand and make it all better.
1153
01:00:40,553 --> 01:00:43,306
We're just two very different people.
1154
01:00:48,186 --> 01:00:50,313
I don't think we should
keep seeing each other.
1155
01:00:50,396 --> 01:00:51,689
No, Lis.
1156
01:00:53,650 --> 01:00:54,984
That's not what I want.
1157
01:00:56,319 --> 01:00:58,154
I can't give you what you want, Tom.
1158
01:01:00,865 --> 01:01:02,325
So this is what I want.

That would've killed you.

is killing me more.

01:05:12,199 --> 01:05:13,743
- Tom!
- Yahoo!
1220
01:05:13,826 --> 01:05:16,871
Ella! Hi! Oh, yeah.
1221
01:05:17,413 --> 01:05:19,832
- I missed you.
- I missed you, too.
1222
01:05:20,541 --> 01:05:23,377
- You got a project going?
- A big one.
1223
01:05:25,421 --> 01:05:29,342
Okay, let me look into it here.
Let me see what we got, Sharon.
1224
01:05:29,425 --> 01:05:30,425
[Sharon] Mm-hmm.
1225
01:05:35,848 --> 01:05:37,600
Oh my gosh!
1226
01:05:38,309 --> 01:05:39,977
This is so cool.
1227
01:05:44,231 --> 01:05:46,108
I love this.
1228
01:05:46,776 --> 01:05:48,152
Your place is awesome!
1229
01:05:52,448 --> 01:05:53,449
What's under that?
1230
01:05:55,868 --> 01:05:57,620
- Mmm.
- Uh, whoops.
1231
01:05:58,245 --> 01:06:02,416
How did this sheet get over Santa Claus?
1232
01:06:03,918 --> 01:06:07,004
- You like it?
- Wow. Does he do anything?
1233
01:06:07,088 --> 01:06:08,172
Great question.
1234
01:06:09,966 --> 01:06:13,594
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho. Merry Christmas!
1235
01:06:13,678 --> 01:06:17,098
It's alive. Mm-hmm.
1236
01:06:17,181 --> 01:06:20,434
- Can we play with the train?
- Don't you have a project to do?
1237
01:06:20,518 --> 01:06:22,770
Yeah, and it's not good.
1238
01:06:30,903 --> 01:06:31,903
When is this race?
1239
01:06:32,697 --> 01:06:33,698
Sunday morning.
1240
01:06:35,533 --> 01:06:37,173
We're going to need a lot more duct tape.
1241
01:06:38,369 --> 01:06:39,929
What's this supposed to even look like?
1242
01:06:42,373 --> 01:06:44,709
["Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" playing]
1243
01:06:52,550 --> 01:06:57,555
[Santa] Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
Merry Christmas!
1244
01:07:04,687 --> 01:07:05,687
[Grant] Good night, Jen.
1245
01:07:22,872 --> 01:07:25,041
Grant, do you have a minute?
1246
01:07:26,459 --> 01:07:27,626
You want to talk to me?
1247
01:07:27,710 --> 01:07:30,379
Well, this ought to be good.
1248
01:07:31,297 --> 01:07:33,177
Is this about
your delinquent Christmas article?
1249
01:07:33,257 --> 01:07:35,259
Delinquent. Big word.
1250
01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:37,094
Well, I am an editor.
1251
01:07:37,178 --> 01:07:38,178
Hmm.
1252
01:07:39,096 --> 01:07:41,182
- I don't think I can write it.
- Not an option.
1253
01:07:41,265 --> 01:07:44,477
Grant. You know, me.
You know I don't like Christmas.
1254
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:46,270
Why would you assign me this?
1255
01:07:57,573 --> 01:07:58,616
[exhales]
1256
01:08:00,701 --> 01:08:04,246
Lisa, I didn't want someone
to just write an article
1257
01:08:04,330 --> 01:08:06,373
about tinsel and eggnog.
1258
01:08:07,583 --> 01:08:11,420
I wanted someone with a very interesting
take on this whole thing.
1259
01:08:11,504 --> 01:08:12,880
And that is you.
1260
01:08:13,464 --> 01:08:14,673
Now, you hate Christmas.
1261
01:08:14,757 --> 01:08:16,467
I know. I get it.
1262
01:08:17,426 --> 01:08:19,026
But the whole rest of the world doesn't.
1263
01:08:20,679 --> 01:08:22,389
So, how do you meet in the middle?
1264
01:08:24,517 --> 01:08:25,684
Is that all you got?
1265
01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:30,689
I chose you for this
because I have faith in you.
1266
01:08:35,903 --> 01:08:36,903
I know you'll find it.
1267
01:08:40,157 --> 01:08:42,159
[tender music]
1268
01:08:44,036 --> 01:08:45,079
[sighs]
1269
01:08:49,625 --> 01:08:51,627
[doorbell rings]
1270
01:08:53,379 --> 01:08:54,922
- Hey.
- Hi!
1271
01:08:55,005 --> 01:08:55,840
Come on in.
1272
01:08:55,923 --> 01:08:58,467
Thank you for letting me come over.
1273
01:08:58,551 --> 01:08:59,551
Absolutely.
1274
01:09:02,304 --> 01:09:04,932
Whoa, that is delicious!
1275
01:09:06,183 --> 01:09:07,518
Brings back memories.
1276
01:09:08,018 --> 01:09:09,538
But I'll never be as good as my mom's.
1277
01:09:09,603 --> 01:09:11,313
Oh. I bet.
1278
01:09:11,897 --> 01:09:12,897
But I love it.
1279
01:09:15,901 --> 01:09:16,901
So...
1280
01:09:18,362 --> 01:09:19,362
Tom.
1281
01:09:20,489 --> 01:09:23,159
So... yeah.
1282
01:09:23,951 --> 01:09:24,951
Hmm.
1283
01:09:26,078 --> 01:09:27,496
I need some perspective.
1284
01:09:28,289 --> 01:09:30,416
How are you so okay with this?
1285
01:09:31,876 --> 01:09:35,588
You have to know, Tom was really worried
about telling you about Santa.
1286
01:09:36,422 --> 01:09:39,550
I mean, I knew Tom for three years
before he told me about him.
1287
01:09:40,426 --> 01:09:43,220
And I thought I kind of knew
everything there was about him,
1288
01:09:43,304 --> 01:09:45,764
and then he dropped this crazy bomb on me.
1289
01:09:45,848 --> 01:09:47,683
But it is crazy, though.
1290
01:09:47,766 --> 01:09:49,476
I thought so too at first.
1291
01:09:51,020 --> 01:09:53,439
But I don't want to judge him
on just this one thing.
1292
01:09:54,106 --> 01:09:55,546
I like being friends with him and...
1293
01:09:58,194 --> 01:10:00,714
I'm not saying it was easy
to have a friend believe in something
1294
01:10:00,738 --> 01:10:04,158
- that no one else over the age of 10 does.
- Right?
1295
01:10:04,241 --> 01:10:08,704
Then I thought about my life
as a Muslim in Denver, Colorado.
1296
01:10:10,664 --> 01:10:13,624
Most days, I'm surrounded by people
who don't believe the same things I do.
1297
01:10:15,753 --> 01:10:17,922
I see the look on some
of the people's faces
1298
01:10:18,005 --> 01:10:19,485
when they find out that I'm a Muslim.
1299
01:10:20,049 --> 01:10:24,637
As if my beliefs somehow
put me in the category of dangerous,
1300
01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:26,222
or evil, or weird,
1301
01:10:26,305 --> 01:10:28,390
or whatever
they associate that part of me with.
1302
01:10:29,892 --> 01:10:31,352
Once they put me in that box,
1303
01:10:32,561 --> 01:10:33,561
that's all I'm to them.
1304
01:10:36,148 --> 01:10:37,148
I'm sorry.
1305
01:10:39,068 --> 01:10:40,068
Thank you.
1306
01:10:42,905 --> 01:10:46,075
But Tom, he never did that to me.
1307
01:10:47,076 --> 01:10:49,495
He didn't care that my beliefs
were different from his, so...
1308
01:10:50,579 --> 01:10:51,747
How could I do that to him?
1309
01:10:56,168 --> 01:10:57,168
[inhales sharply]
1310
01:10:59,672 --> 01:11:04,176
I hear what you're saying, Assan,
but Santa isn't religion.
1311
01:11:05,552 --> 01:11:09,014
The only difference
between religion and Santa
1312
01:11:09,098 --> 01:11:11,934
is that as we get older,
religious grown-ups
1313
01:11:12,017 --> 01:11:13,811
tell us that our faith
was right all along.
1314
01:11:14,728 --> 01:11:16,480
But they don't have proof either.
1315
01:11:16,563 --> 01:11:18,941
They just tell us that the stories
we believe are true.
1316
01:11:19,817 --> 01:11:23,946
But with Santa, the grown-ups are there
to tell you that the stories are not true.
1317
01:11:24,822 --> 01:11:28,200
And Tom just chose
not to believe the grown-ups.
1318
01:11:31,287 --> 01:11:32,663
You're a good friend.
1319
01:11:33,998 --> 01:11:34,998
So is he.
1320
01:11:38,627 --> 01:11:40,587
[dramatic music]
1321
01:11:42,256 --> 01:11:44,258
[cell phone ringing]
1322
01:11:44,967 --> 01:11:46,218
Hey, buddy, what's up?
1323
01:11:46,302 --> 01:11:48,178
What time is The Nutcracker tonight?
1324
01:11:48,262 --> 01:11:50,889
I got to load up on caffeine
about 30 minutes before.
1325
01:11:50,973 --> 01:11:52,266
Oh, we are not going.
1326
01:11:53,267 --> 01:11:54,267
What?
1327
01:11:54,893 --> 01:11:57,479
Wait a minute, who is this?
Please put Tom on the phone.
1328
01:11:57,563 --> 01:12:00,399
I can't.
I've got to work on Ella's sled race.
1329
01:12:00,482 --> 01:12:03,569
She stayed way past her bedtime
and we still didn't finish it.
1330
01:12:03,652 --> 01:12:05,988
The greatest Mouse King
to ever grace the stage
1331
01:12:06,071 --> 01:12:09,867
at Woodbury Elementary
is going to skip attending The Nutcracker?
1332
01:12:09,950 --> 01:12:11,702
You know my mom wrote that review.
1333
01:12:11,785 --> 01:12:12,661
[scoffs]
1334
01:12:12,745 --> 01:12:14,038
What about your schedule?
1335
01:12:14,121 --> 01:12:15,998
Assan, don't you know
1336
01:12:16,081 --> 01:12:18,292
that sometimes you have
to adjust your schedule
1337
01:12:18,375 --> 01:12:20,044
to consider other people's needs?
1338
01:12:21,086 --> 01:12:23,672
Hmm. That sounds like
some real wisdom, buddy.
1339
01:12:23,756 --> 01:12:25,799
One might even say genius.
1340
01:12:26,383 --> 01:12:27,593
How's it coming?
1341
01:12:27,676 --> 01:12:30,095
[chuckles]
Still in the assembly phase right now.
1342
01:12:30,179 --> 01:12:31,722
Haven't had a chance to test anything.
1343
01:12:32,973 --> 01:12:34,516
The race is tomorrow, isn't it?
1344
01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:35,851
Not helping.
1345
01:12:35,934 --> 01:12:37,519
Remember: duct tape.
1346
01:12:37,603 --> 01:12:38,603
I'm hanging up now.
1347
01:12:40,397 --> 01:12:45,194
"Santy Claus, why are you
taking my Christmas tree? Why?"
1348
01:12:54,203 --> 01:12:55,203
[Lisa] Christmas.
1349
01:12:56,038 --> 01:12:58,665
Even the Grinch figured it out eventually.
1350
01:12:59,833 --> 01:13:01,835
[uplifting music]
1351
01:13:11,053 --> 01:13:11,887
[Ella] Tom!
1352
01:13:11,970 --> 01:13:13,639
Hey, Ella!
1353
01:13:15,391 --> 01:13:16,433
- Hi.
- Hi.
1354
01:13:16,975 --> 01:13:19,311
The winning sled is ready to go.
1355
01:13:20,437 --> 01:13:22,749
- Did you add more duct tape?
- I put on every piece we had.
1356
01:13:22,773 --> 01:13:23,857
[woman] Here we go!
1357
01:13:23,941 --> 01:13:25,818
Did you borrow this from Santa Claus?
1358
01:13:25,901 --> 01:13:29,446
Ha-ha! No, but I did
get a little inspiration from him.
1359
01:13:30,155 --> 01:13:31,155
It looks great,
1360
01:13:31,657 --> 01:13:33,784
but we've never ridden in it before.
1361
01:13:34,284 --> 01:13:35,661
What if it falls apart?
1362
01:13:36,328 --> 01:13:39,248
What if?
You better give it a final inspection.
1363
01:13:41,125 --> 01:13:44,044
Okay, so I'm gonna head down
to the finish line, to get some pictures.
1364
01:13:44,128 --> 01:13:45,129
Good luck, y'all.
1365
01:13:45,212 --> 01:13:46,212
Stay warm.
1366
01:13:49,800 --> 01:13:52,010
Thank you for making time for this, Tom.
1367
01:13:52,094 --> 01:13:53,679
Ella is super excited.
1368
01:13:53,762 --> 01:13:54,930
She really loves it.
1369
01:13:55,013 --> 01:13:58,475
Well, it's the childlike wonder
that makes the magic.
1370
01:13:59,226 --> 01:14:00,226
Hmm.
1371
01:14:01,603 --> 01:14:06,275
Hey, I'm sorry
for putting Christmas before us.
1372
01:14:07,317 --> 01:14:08,986
I got a little crazy.
1373
01:14:11,572 --> 01:14:13,449
I wouldn't use the word "crazy."
1374
01:14:14,491 --> 01:14:15,491
But thank you.
1375
01:14:16,201 --> 01:14:18,495
- [Ella] Inspection's all done, chief.
- And?
1376
01:14:19,037 --> 01:14:20,914
She passed with flying colors.
1377
01:14:20,998 --> 01:14:23,834
Whoo-hoo! All right, get in there.
Let's see how she feels.
1378
01:14:26,295 --> 01:14:27,379
What do you think?
1379
01:14:28,755 --> 01:14:30,799
- She feels perfect.
- Yeah.
1380
01:14:30,883 --> 01:14:32,301
All right, let's do it.
1381
01:14:32,384 --> 01:14:35,429
Good luck. You're gonna need it.
1382
01:14:37,347 --> 01:14:40,058
Oh, Freckles.
1383
01:14:41,018 --> 01:14:42,519
Now we got to win.
1384
01:14:43,270 --> 01:14:45,898
[announcer] Okay, riders. Load in.
1385
01:14:45,981 --> 01:14:48,609
Family sled race starts in one minute.
1386
01:14:49,151 --> 01:14:51,570
- Are you gonna ride with us, Mom?
- You should.
1387
01:14:51,653 --> 01:14:54,323
I was just going to watch from up here.
1388
01:14:54,406 --> 01:14:56,867
- [Ella] Come on.
- Yes, there's plenty of room.
1389
01:14:56,950 --> 01:14:58,118
Please, Mom.
1390
01:14:58,202 --> 01:15:00,120
Come on. I can help you.

All right, everyone squeeze up
to the front there.

I'm kind of eating my kneecaps here.

That's how she's designed.
Everything good up there, pilot?

Aye, aye, chief.

Am I in time?
1400
01:15:21,391 --> 01:15:24,228
You are, just barely.
She just asked about you.

[Lisa laughs]
1402
01:15:25,437 --> 01:15:28,857
All right, when she says "go," you push us
and then we'll do the hard part.
1403
01:15:28,941 --> 01:15:31,568
Uh, pushing is the hard part.

Tom, I really don't know about this.

It's going to be okay.
It's a leap of faith.

No, it's a leap off of a literal mountain.

but not as good as yours.

Well, couldn't have done it
without a little push from Assan.
1450
01:17:46,703 --> 01:17:48,038
Thank you, Assan.
1451
01:17:48,121 --> 01:17:51,875
Ahem, um, I would like
to say something to everybody.
1452
01:17:51,958 --> 01:17:53,710
You're going to stand now?
1453
01:17:53,794 --> 01:17:55,545
This is pretty important. Yeah.
1454
01:17:55,629 --> 01:17:56,922
- [Assan] Here it comes.
- Okay.
1455
01:17:57,589 --> 01:18:01,635
Um, you all know that I love Christmas.
1456
01:18:01,718 --> 01:18:02,594
Understatement.
1457
01:18:02,678 --> 01:18:08,684
But this year I learned
that Christmas can come with challenges
1458
01:18:08,767 --> 01:18:10,060
as well as gifts,
1459
01:18:10,143 --> 01:18:13,605
and that it's the time of year to reflect.
1460
01:18:13,689 --> 01:18:16,650
But reflection can sometimes be painful.
1461
01:18:16,733 --> 01:18:21,738
But I know that I can embrace
whatever the season may bring.
1462
01:18:22,948 --> 01:18:26,034
And that it's spending time
with the people you love
1463
01:18:26,118 --> 01:18:27,911
that makes Christmas magical.
1464
01:18:27,994 --> 01:18:31,540
Not just decorations or holiday events.
1465
01:18:31,623 --> 01:18:32,833
Amen, brother.
1466
01:18:32,916 --> 01:18:33,916
Right.
1467
01:18:34,501 --> 01:18:35,501
[Assan chuckles]
1468
01:18:36,586 --> 01:18:38,588
Well, I want to say something too.
1469
01:18:38,672 --> 01:18:40,048
Oh, here it comes.
1470
01:18:40,132 --> 01:18:41,174
Yeah.
1471
01:18:42,259 --> 01:18:46,388
Um, well, you all know
I was a little reluctant about Christmas.
1472
01:18:46,471 --> 01:18:47,305
A little?
1473
01:18:47,389 --> 01:18:48,640
[laughs]
1474
01:18:48,724 --> 01:18:50,726
But, Tom, you have taught me
1475
01:18:50,809 --> 01:18:55,313
that it's not just
about strict traditions.
1476
01:18:55,397 --> 01:18:56,898
It can be fun again.
1477
01:18:57,482 --> 01:19:02,404
And there isn't always a Barbie
hiding in the closet to ruin everything.
1478
01:19:04,364 --> 01:19:06,825
- A what now?
- Don't stop her. She's on a roll.
1479
01:19:06,908 --> 01:19:08,034
[whispering] Oh, okay.
1480
01:19:08,577 --> 01:19:09,577
Tom.
1481
01:19:10,078 --> 01:19:11,788
You did this thing for Ella.
1482
01:19:13,039 --> 01:19:14,916
Not because it was Christmas,
1483
01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:17,878
but because you love her and me.
1484
01:19:19,087 --> 01:19:22,799
And when we needed you most,
you were there all in.
1485
01:19:23,425 --> 01:19:26,219
And that's the kind of magic
that I want to believe in.
1486
01:19:27,345 --> 01:19:28,597
[Sharon] Aw.
1487
01:19:29,181 --> 01:19:30,348
Amen, sister.
1488
01:19:31,641 --> 01:19:34,394
And that thing
that I said the other night,
1489
01:19:34,978 --> 01:19:36,104
could I take that back?
1490
01:19:36,188 --> 01:19:37,731
Please. Yes. Please.
1491
01:19:37,814 --> 01:19:40,066
- I agree, yes, thank you.
- Mmm.
1492
01:19:40,984 --> 01:19:41,818
Called it.
1493
01:19:41,902 --> 01:19:43,904
Yeah, it didn't take a genius.
1494
01:19:44,654 --> 01:19:47,407
- But I have one more thing,
- Oh, but I had one more thing.
1495
01:19:47,491 --> 01:19:50,091
- Well, is your thing my thing?
- I don't know what your thing is.
1496
01:19:50,160 --> 01:19:52,430

- You should do your thing.

[Lisa] Okay.

Tom, I don't ever want you
to lose your belief in Santa,
1501
01:20:05,425 --> 01:20:06,635
your love of Christmas.
1502
01:20:07,427 --> 01:20:09,221
Because you've taught me
how important it is
1503
01:20:09,304 --> 01:20:12,015
to believe in something
bigger than ourselves.
1504
01:20:12,891 --> 01:20:14,392
And something we can't prove.

1506
01:20:16,603 --> 01:20:19,898

that childlike wonder
1507
01:20:19,981 --> 01:20:21,983
that just makes life sweeter.

01:20:22,526 --> 01:20:23,735

- It's a different thing.
- I knew it.

So...
1522
01:21:23,587 --> 01:21:27,048
Instead, I am going
to take a leap of faith
1523
01:21:27,841 --> 01:21:29,634
that our love
1524
01:21:30,218 --> 01:21:36,224
and our future together
will be even bigger than Santa Claus.
