00:00:00They say buying or selling a home at Christmastime is not a good idea.
00:00:20I disagree.
00:00:21Because a home, the right home, is your home for any time of the year.
00:00:26But, can't you just picture it?
00:00:30Your little one growing up here, waking up on Christmas morning with those bright, joy-filled eyes, just wondering what Santa's brought.
00:00:40This is a home for a family, a family like yours.
00:00:45We'll take it.
00:00:47When can we sign the contracts?
00:00:49Come by my office this afternoon, and Allison and I will have everything ready.
00:00:52Thanks, Liz.
00:00:54It's so homey.
00:00:55But don't forget to bring the check for the deposit money.
00:00:58Will do.
00:01:00That's your third sale this month.
00:01:02I thought Christmas was supposed to be slow.
00:01:04For amateurs, maybe.
00:01:06You can sell anything at Christmas if you know the right buttons to push.
00:01:11Okay, bye.
00:01:12Bye, Mom.
00:01:15Okay, let's get this stuff packed up.
00:01:18We've got to show the fair home house in an hour, and I want it to look like a holiday wonderland before the clients get there.
00:01:22Are you and Mason doing anything fun for Christmas?
00:01:24Ugh, just getting through it as fast as possible.
00:01:28You don't have any Christmas spirit at all, do you?
00:01:32It's an inconvenient holiday.
00:01:33All the banks and escrow companies are closed.
00:01:36Mason's off school.
00:01:36Well, it just, it throws me off.
00:01:38Hmm.
00:01:39Can you get this stuff piled up?
00:01:41I'm going to check messages.
00:01:51New message sent today at 10.21 a.m.
00:01:55Hey, it's Barry.
00:01:56Just wanted you to know I got myself a sign off on that credit.
00:01:59We should be good to go.
00:02:01Talk to you later.
00:02:02Bye.
00:02:03New message sent today at 10.25 a.m.
00:02:07Hi, Liz.
00:02:08It's Catherine.
00:02:09We moved in over the weekend, and we just couldn't be happier.
00:02:11You're the best.
00:02:12Thank you so much.
00:02:13We'll talk to you later.
00:02:14Bye.
00:02:15New message sent today at 11.10 a.m.
00:02:19Hello, Elizabeth.
00:02:20It's Dad.
00:02:22Just thought I'd check in and see if you'd given any thought to coming up and seeing Hollyville.
00:02:27It's, it's really an amazing place.
00:02:30And it'd be nice to see you and Mason over the holiday.
00:02:34Um, let me know.
00:02:35Goodbye.
00:02:37Now, see?
00:02:38That sounds like fun.
00:02:40You and Mason should go spend Christmas with your dad.
00:02:43Nobody's working after tomorrow anyway.
00:02:45Yeah, we were never really big on Christmas.
00:02:48Although I am worried about him.
00:02:50I think he's going through some kind of a life crisis.
00:02:53Younger girlfriend?
00:02:54Oh, I wish.
00:02:55No, he's, he's found this town out in the middle of nowhere, and, I don't know, he's
00:03:00just fallen in love with it.
00:03:01He's bought a cabin and everything.
00:03:03That sounds great.
00:03:05So spontaneous.
00:03:06My father is the least spontaneous man I've ever met.
00:03:09He's been working 50 hours a week at the same bank for over 20 years.
00:03:13Hmm, sounds familiar.
00:03:16I'm nothing like my father.
00:03:17You're a total workaholic.
00:03:27Hey, if you're in town, you have to come with me for this most amazing thing.
00:03:31Ah, that doesn't sound good.
00:03:34Holiday speed dating.
00:03:35Kind of a last ditch effort not to be miserably lonely over Christmas and New Year's.
00:03:39I was right.
00:03:40That sounds tragic.
00:03:42You gotta date sometime.
00:03:44Dating just leads to disappointment.
00:03:46You have to be open to possibilities, Liz.
00:03:49Hey, I'm open to the possibility of a good sale any day.
00:03:51Hey, I'm open to the possibility of shopping.
00:03:54Let's see.
00:03:55Hey, too.
00:03:56I'm open to the possibility that you are taking home.
00:03:57What's the matter?
00:03:58Hey, who's in the millones of dollars?
00:04:00Hey, come along.
00:04:02Hey, you dad?
00:04:11My daddyborough and Buddha.
00:04:12Hey, come along every day?
00:04:12I know nothing good.
00:04:13You have to be able to live.
00:04:16I know nothing.
00:04:17I know nothing.
00:04:17I know nothing.
00:04:17Hey, John, it's Liz McCann.
00:04:25I just wanted to confirm you received our counteroffer on Briarwood.
00:04:28Call me.
00:04:35Oh, hey, Dad, it's me.
00:04:37Um, look, I don't think we're going to be able to make it up there.
00:04:41I'm just swamped with work right now,
00:04:44so I think we're going to have to...
00:04:47Uh, take a rain check.
00:04:55Mason, no.
00:05:02Mason, what is going on here?
00:05:04How cool is this?
00:05:06I only use the one thing of laundry detergent.
00:05:08It makes a lot of bubbles.
00:05:10Where is the babysitter?
00:05:12Inside, I think.
00:05:13Want to have a snowball fight?
00:05:15No, I certainly do not want to have...
00:05:16No, I don't want to have a snowball fight!
00:05:19Stop it!
00:05:19I didn't get it!
00:05:20I didn't get it!
00:05:22Stop it, wind is up right now.
00:05:23Where are you?
00:05:24Where are you?
00:05:25Oh!
00:05:26I'm sorry.
00:05:27All of you guys are crazy.
00:05:28So much trouble.
00:05:29No, I'm sorry.
00:05:30I didn't get it!
00:05:31I didn't get it!
00:05:32I didn't get it!
00:05:33I'm not you!
00:05:35Yeah, can you fax the inspection report over to the Campbells?
00:05:45Mom!
00:05:46Get them to sign off on the contingency and then we'll get it over to escrow.
00:05:49Mom!
00:05:51I know, escrow's closed.
00:05:53Just fax it over there and then go on home.
00:05:56Okay, bye.
00:05:57Sorry, Tiger.
00:06:00You said we were going to get a tree this year.
00:06:04What?
00:06:04A tree.
00:06:05You said we'd at least get a tree.
00:06:08Ugh.
00:06:08Well, I don't know if we're going to do anything after that stunt that you pulled on the front lawn.
00:06:13You know, you're almost ten now, Mason.
00:06:16I expect more from you.
00:06:17We were just having fun.
00:06:19I figure you wouldn't even notice anyway.
00:06:21What's that mean?
00:06:22Nothing.
00:06:22Look, I know I've been working a lot lately.
00:06:26All the time.
00:06:38Hey.
00:06:40This looks great.
00:06:42Yeah.
00:06:44Oh, Mason.
00:06:45I wish that there were more of me.
00:06:47But there's just not.
00:06:49Is it going to be just us for Christmas again?
00:06:53Well, yes, but that's not such a bad thing.
00:06:57Hey, I heard they've got an ice skating rink downtown.
00:07:00I thought we might go try that out.
00:07:01That sounds cool.
00:07:02And what about a tree?
00:07:05And sure, we can get a tree.
00:07:08And I promise I'm going to get better at this whole Christmas thing.
00:07:13Grandpa and I just never really did very much.
00:07:16Every year he got me one present.
00:07:19And honestly, that was about it.
00:07:20And not even a toy.
00:07:21Toys were a waste of money, as far as Grandpa was concerned.
00:07:25Yeah, I know.
00:07:26He always buys me a book.
00:07:28And a savings bond.
00:07:29Because it's never too early to start saving for a rainy day.
00:07:34Right.
00:07:35Grandpa sent us a card.
00:07:36Oh, yeah?
00:07:37This is where I moved.
00:07:41It looks like such a cool place.
00:07:43Hollyville.
00:07:44America's Christmas town.
00:07:47Oh.
00:07:48This is so not like him.
00:07:50Not again.
00:07:51Yeah, Allison.
00:07:57Yeah, Allison.
00:07:59Oh.
00:08:00Hey, Dad.
00:08:02Is it Grandpa?
00:08:03Yeah, we got the card.
00:08:05And the message.
00:08:07And, you know, it's just not such a good time right now.
00:08:11Please, Mom.
00:08:12Can we go?
00:08:15Sorry, Mason.
00:08:16Hang on a sec.
00:08:18I'm sure that it's a lovely place.
00:08:19And I bet you'll have a great holiday up there.
00:08:21Come on.
00:08:22It's Christmas town.
00:08:23They probably have lots of cool things to do.
00:08:25Mason.
00:08:25I can't hear.
00:08:27I'm sorry, Dad.
00:08:28What?
00:08:30You what?
00:08:31Well, why would you quit your job?
00:08:34What?
00:08:35Dad.
00:08:36You can't just pick up your whole life and start over.
00:08:39Because it's not practical.
00:08:42Oh, my gosh.
00:08:43You're not sick, are you?
00:08:44Is everything okay?
00:08:46We should go check on him.
00:08:47Make sure he's not crazy or something.
00:08:51Um.
00:08:52All right, Dad.
00:08:53You know what?
00:08:54Maybe we can come up for a couple of days.
00:08:57But that's it.
00:08:58We're going?
00:09:01So, where is this place, anyway?
00:09:04Woo-hoo!
00:09:04We're going to Grandpa's!
00:09:06Woo-hoo!
00:09:06Yeah, we're going to Grandpa's!
00:09:08Uh-huh.
00:09:08Woo-hoo!
00:09:08We're going to Grandpa's!
00:09:09Oh, how far is that?
00:09:12Okay.
00:09:14Right.
00:09:19I love road trips.
00:09:20We can sing Christmas carols all the way.
00:09:23Yippee.
00:09:24Look, we're probably going to hit holiday traffic.
00:09:27It's over a day's drive getting there.
00:09:28Lauren, it's the absolute worst time to be on the roads.
00:09:31You think they'll have snow?
00:09:33Oh, oh, Mason.
00:09:34Don't get too excited, okay?
00:09:36Probably just some kind of tourist trap.
00:09:39And no work, right?
00:09:40I'll try.
00:09:42Promise?
00:09:43Come on, get in the car.
00:09:45Let me get on the road to beat the traffic.
00:09:48Come on, Mom.
00:09:49We're burning daylight.
00:09:50Let's go.
00:09:51All right.
00:09:59I spy something red.
00:10:02Mason, let's not.
00:10:03Okay.
00:10:04You go first, then.
00:10:06Maybe you could read.
00:10:07I'll get carsick.
00:10:08Go.
00:10:09I spy something yellow.
00:10:19Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
00:10:23Oh, what fun it is to ride and the one horse opens lay.
00:10:26Hey.
00:10:26Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
00:10:30Oh, what fun it is to ride and the one horse opens lay.
00:10:33Hey.
00:10:34Mom, you've got to sing.
00:10:36What's that, Tiger?
00:10:38Sing.
00:10:40Oh, yeah, right.
00:10:42Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
00:10:47Oh, what fun it is to ride and the one horse opens lay.
00:11:04Hey.
00:11:06Mom, I'm tired.
00:11:17Don't worry, honey.
00:11:18We'll stop at the next motel.
00:11:19Mom, are we there yet?
00:11:49Good question, Mace.
00:11:53The motel owner said it was in this direction, but it's not marked on the map.
00:11:59That's weird.
00:12:00Yeah.
00:12:02It must be even smaller than I thought.
00:12:04But the address that your grandpa gave us was on this road.
00:12:07Didn't he tell you how to get there?
00:12:09He said we couldn't miss it.
00:12:10Mom, stop, stop.
00:12:11What?
00:12:12What?
00:12:12What is it?
00:12:12Look, look.
00:12:13Did you see something?
00:12:16Look up there.
00:12:17It's a reindeer.
00:12:19Isn't it?
00:12:22Mason.
00:12:23Mason.
00:12:24Mason.
00:12:28Mason.
00:12:29I mean it.
00:12:34Get back here.
00:12:40It's totally a reindeer.
00:12:42Okay.
00:12:42Well, don't go near it.
00:12:43It's probably got fleas or something.
00:12:46Mason.
00:12:47Did you hear me?
00:12:47Don't go near it.
00:12:50It's okay, Mom.
00:12:51I think it's friendly.
00:12:56Get back here right now.
00:12:58Mason, I need you.
00:12:59Hey, wait.
00:13:00I'm not going to hurt you.
00:13:05Mom.
00:13:05There's a town down that hill.
00:13:07We found it.
00:13:10Great.
00:13:10Okay, come on.
00:13:11Get back in the car.
00:13:16Mason, now.
00:13:21Mason, let's go.
00:13:36Oh, come on.
00:13:38Don't do this to me.
00:13:40Great.
00:13:47Mom, Hollyville.
00:13:49It's awesome.
00:13:49Wait till you see it.
00:13:51It looks just like the picture.
00:13:55What's wrong?
00:13:56The car won't start.
00:13:58That's okay.
00:13:59We can walk.
00:14:00It's not that far.
00:14:01Great.
00:14:05This is so exciting.
00:14:06We're actually walking through the woods.
00:14:09Yeah, it's a real adventure.
00:14:11Don't you think this is so cool?
00:14:13Yes.
00:14:14I wonder what else they have here.
00:14:15I'm glad you're excited.
00:14:19Hey, Mom.
00:14:31Let's take a shortcut.
00:14:32Oh, no, Mason.
00:14:34Mason!
00:14:35Mason!
00:14:37Mason!
00:14:38That's the last time I'm taking a shortcut.
00:14:53I guess it's not all quite as charming as they make it look on the postcard.
00:15:01That's a lot of security for a warehouse.
00:15:03N.P. Enterprises.
00:15:08I wonder what they do.
00:15:12Strange.
00:15:13Out here in the middle of nowhere.
00:15:25Nice uniforms.
00:15:26Take a picture.
00:15:36It lasts longer.
00:15:39We've got a kid.
00:15:40Keep an eye on him.
00:15:46Hey, guys, we'll meet you at the boys' sleigh.
00:15:48I can't believe Grandpa lives here.
00:16:03You and me both.
00:16:05He's a city guy.
00:16:06Happy Holidays, and welcome to the Hollyville Top of the Morning Report.
00:16:19Big news as Dasher and Dancer welcomed Lil Dancer Jr. into the world last night.
00:16:24Mother Dasher is doing well and is expected to be flying high in no time.
00:16:30Wow, they really push the Christmas theme here, don't they?
00:16:33Weather at the North Pole is a balmy 12 degrees with clear skies.
00:16:38Perfect sleigh-riding weather.
00:16:40I'm hungry.
00:16:41It's neat.
00:16:43If you're hungry, you'll want to stop in at Hollyville's own Ignaw Cafe.
00:16:51Ignaw Cafe?
00:16:53End of town on the right, you can't miss it.
00:16:56And that's today's Top of the Morning Report, brought to you by America's Christmas Town.
00:17:02It's a sales gimmick.
00:17:04I use them all the time.
00:17:07Oh, look, they got alcohol in the sunshine.
00:17:09Come on, Rocks.
00:17:10You know you want some more whipping cream?
00:17:12I shouldn't.
00:17:13No, yes, you should.
00:17:15It's homemade.
00:17:17It's white.
00:17:17It's fluffy.
00:17:19It's Christmas.
00:17:21Maybe just a scooch.
00:17:22Now we're talking.
00:17:23Maybe it's Heidi's scooch.
00:17:26It looks like snowflakes.
00:17:33Hey, I'm Kevin.
00:17:35Welcome.
00:17:36Merry Christmas.
00:17:37Hi.
00:17:38We'd like to get a quick bite.
00:17:39Great.
00:17:39There's a table right here.
00:17:42Oh, I was also wondering, is there a mechanic in town?
00:17:45Well, it's your lucky day.
00:17:46Not only is there a mechanic in town, there's a mechanic in the room.
00:17:49That's Roxy right there.
00:17:51Oh, it's great.
00:17:52Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
00:17:54I wouldn't do that if I were you.
00:17:55Why not?
00:17:55Roxy gets a little ornery when people get between her and her hot cocoa, so I would just give
00:18:00it a few minutes.
00:18:02Oh, okay.
00:18:03Well, then we'll eat first, I guess.
00:18:06That's a good idea.
00:18:07Can I interest you guys in the chocolate chip pancakes?
00:18:10I mean, because our chef makes the best chocolate chip pancakes in the world.
00:18:14And there he is right there.
00:18:16He's only been with us a few weeks.
00:18:19There.
00:18:20Hey, Jack.
00:18:22Liz.
00:18:23Dad?
00:18:24Grandpa!
00:18:25Mason!
00:18:25Mason!
00:18:27Ho, ho!
00:18:29You're...
00:18:30You're cooking?
00:18:31Well, he's a short order chef.
00:18:33Best one I've ever seen.
00:18:35I hired him on the spot.
00:18:36Look at how big you've got.
00:18:39Can I lift you still?
00:18:40I don't think so.
00:18:41Oh, yes, I can.
00:18:42I want.
00:18:44Boy, oh, boy.
00:18:45You look different.
00:18:46You look messy.
00:18:48Messy, huh?
00:18:49Well, let me tell you a little secret, Missy.
00:18:52I'm finding I like being messy.
00:18:55You should try soap scents.
00:18:56They're the best.
00:18:59Oh, your mom doesn't look too happy.
00:19:02It's okay.
00:19:03That's how she normally looks.
00:19:06Yeah.
00:19:07Oh, you know what?
00:19:09I got a big cooler over there full of ice cream.
00:19:12You go pick a flavor and you can have some after breakfast, okay?
00:19:16Okay.
00:19:16Off you go.
00:19:19So, you found the town.
00:19:21I told you you couldn't miss it.
00:19:24Dad?
00:19:26Are you okay?
00:19:28Oh, absolutely.
00:19:30Everything's better than it's been in a long time.
00:19:32It's better.
00:19:34You're a burger flipper in a diner and everything's better.
00:19:37Actually, he's a short-order chef.
00:19:39What?
00:19:40This man does not just flip burgers.
00:19:42Oh, no.
00:19:43No, no, no.
00:19:43This man is an artist in the kitchen.
00:19:45Tell it, brother.
00:19:46This man's meatloaf is out of this world.
00:19:48Amen.
00:19:49Amen.
00:19:49Yeah, I was head cook back in the army.
00:19:54Did I ever tell you that?
00:19:55No, not that I remember.
00:19:57Barely remembered myself till I stumbled in here.
00:20:00Come on.
00:20:02Hey, uh, Jack.
00:20:06Discover the magic.
00:20:09Indeed.
00:20:09Indeed.
00:20:12Has everyone here drunk the Kool-Aid?
00:20:14Dad, can I talk to you, please?
00:20:17Alone?
00:20:17Well, I am kind of busy.
00:20:19I've got a lot of orders.
00:20:22I'll be right back.
00:20:25Mom, can I go look around outside?
00:20:28No, not now.
00:20:29You have nothing to worry about.
00:20:32Hollyville's the safest place on the planet.
00:20:36Come on.
00:20:36Okay, but stay right in front, all right?
00:20:43Thanks.
00:20:46You know, I should give this place a chance.
00:20:49I think you might like it here.
00:20:51I don't think so.
00:20:52I don't think so.
00:20:52Liz, it's a nice day outside.
00:21:21Why don't we go outside and talk?
00:21:23Fine.
00:21:24Come on.
00:21:27Oh, I didn't know he was so nice.
00:21:31Oh, what a day.
00:21:39Mason?
00:21:41Where'd he go?
00:21:43Oh, don't worry about him.
00:21:44He'll be fine.
00:21:46Dad, you're a cook.
00:21:48I'm just trying to make sense of this here.
00:21:51Well, I just made a few changes, that's all.
00:21:53A few changes?
00:21:54You're a banker.
00:21:56You know, suit, tie, big office.
00:21:58Yeah, and look at me now, huh?
00:22:02So, what?
00:22:03You were just driving through here?
00:22:05On my way to play a couple of rounds at Le Vista.
00:22:07And now you've just decided to stay here forever.
00:22:10It does sound a little crazy when you put it like that.
00:22:13Is there any other way to put it?
00:22:15I can't explain it.
00:22:16It just feels right.
00:22:20Right.
00:22:21Moving to Padunksville and becoming a fry cook.
00:22:23I'm happy here.
00:22:25I don't know.
00:22:26It's like, you know, I was filled up with the spirit of Christmas.
00:22:31The spirit of Christmas?
00:22:32It's like I just walked into a very special Christmas episode of the Twilight Zone.
00:22:37You know, Elizabeth, I don't appreciate your tone of sarcasm.
00:22:40And I certainly don't need you telling me how to live my life.
00:22:44Oh, well, you've certainly had no trouble telling me how to live mine.
00:22:46I don't want to talk about it anymore.
00:22:48Of course you don't.
00:22:50Why should now be different than any other time in my life?
00:22:52Oh, Elizabeth, did you drive all this way just to argue with me?
00:22:55No.
00:22:56Although it wouldn't be the first time we've argued over the holidays.
00:22:58Dad, I think we need to get you some help.
00:23:02Some professional help.
00:23:05My hand is working just fine, thank you.
00:23:07I'm seeing things in a way I've never seen them before.
00:23:12Oh, come on!
00:23:13No, that's enough.
00:23:15You're throwing off my rhythm.
00:23:16We'll talk about this later.
00:23:19We really haven't changed a bit.
00:23:23Order up!
00:23:28Excuse me, I know you're enjoying your hot cocoa, but I really need to get my car fixed.
00:23:35Two minutes.
00:23:35There's part at the bottom of the chocolate.
00:23:37Yes.
00:23:38Mmm.
00:23:39Oh, come on.
00:23:40Fine.

00:28:25I'm just curious.
00:28:27NP Enterprises.
00:28:28What do you guys do exactly?
00:28:30She's from out of town.
00:28:33Um, international export.
00:28:36Really?
00:28:37Way out here.
00:28:39Hmm.
00:28:40There's no airplanes or trains or anything.
00:28:42It doesn't seem very practical.
00:28:44Oh, really?
00:28:45Well, maybe I should just write up a memo and take it upstairs and tell the bosses that you don't approve.
00:28:54He's not very friendly, is he?
00:28:56It's a busy time of year.
00:28:57Well, I think that uniform's gone to his head.
00:29:18It's hanging up on the hard turns.
00:29:21Sounds like the chassis needs adjusting.
00:29:23All right.
00:29:23Call as soon as you're ready for the pickup.
00:29:25Because you know what a tight schedule we're on, right?
00:29:27Quicker you let me get to work, quicker I get it done.
00:29:30You'll be able to get it fixed in time, right?
00:29:32Otis, when have I let you down?
00:29:35When I'm done with this kitten, she'll fly.
00:29:57Come on.
00:30:04I'll let you down.
00:30:04Let's do it.
00:30:05What?
00:30:05Ah!
00:30:05What?
00:30:05What?
00:30:06What?
00:30:07What?
00:30:08What?
00:30:10What?
00:30:12What?
00:30:16What?
00:30:17What?
00:30:18What?
00:30:19What?
00:30:20What?
00:30:23When we were out here earlier, Mason thought he saw a reindeer.
00:30:47Yeah, they bring him in a week early and let him rest up.
00:30:50So they can be in peak condition.
00:30:53Were you born here?
00:30:59No.
00:31:00Now most people sort of find their way to Hollyville.
00:31:03Or it finds them.
00:31:05I've never really, really been quite sure which.
00:31:08So, on the level, what's the deal?
00:31:13What deal?
00:31:14The whole shiny happy people, guys dressed like elves reindeer thing?
00:31:18Well, it's not like that all the time.
00:31:20Most of the year, it's just like a normal small town.
00:31:28It is a factory town, and the business happens to be Christmas, so it gets pretty hopping in December.
00:31:34So it's a tourist thing, right?
00:31:36We're sort of out of the way, so we don't actually get that many tourists.
00:31:40Oh, come on.
00:31:41I know good branding when I see it.
00:31:44Believe it or not, we like to keep Hollyville our little secret.
00:31:48Um, so, I don't mean to be nosy, but you and Mason, you're on your own, yeah?
00:31:59Uh, yeah, since he was six months old.
00:32:05My ex-husband decided just a tad late that he had absolutely no interest in being a family man.
00:32:11Well, you're doing a great job.
00:32:13I mean, he seems like a really good kid.
00:32:15He is.
00:32:16He's a handful, but he's got a lot of spunk.
00:32:20Like his mom?
00:32:20Uh, so, do you have any kids?
00:32:28I'm afraid not.
00:32:32My fiancée, she walked out the door about a week before we were supposed to be married, so...
00:32:37You got quite a lot farther than I did.
00:32:39Oh, I'm sorry.
00:32:41Yeah, I was too.
00:32:42For a long time.
00:32:46Then I found myself here.
00:32:47Hollyville is a bit like the land of broken toys.
00:32:53Most of the people who find their way here, they usually have...
00:32:57something that needs to be fixed.
00:33:00Discover the magic.
00:33:02Exactly.
00:33:02Hmm.
00:33:03Whatever.
00:33:05Not buying it, huh?
00:33:07It's PR.
00:33:07Yeah, well...
00:33:10You certainly found your way here, didn't you?
00:33:13Would you mind pressing that for me?
00:33:15I'm gonna give the word.
00:33:16Okay.
00:33:20I don't need to be fixed.
00:33:21Yeah, you seem perfect.
00:33:24All right, let's see if we can get this thing up without ripping off the front end.
00:33:28What?
00:33:29I'm just kidding.
00:33:30I know exactly what I'm doing.
00:33:33I think.
00:33:34I think.
00:33:36It's the season to be Charlie.
00:34:06Hey, Rox.
00:34:22Hey, sleep her there.
00:34:23That'll be fine.
00:34:26So, can I expect it sometime tomorrow?
00:34:29Oh, why?
00:34:29Aren't you staying for Christmas?
00:34:31Well, I'd like to keep my options open.
00:34:36So, what's the other car they brought in for you?
00:34:38It's a strange shape.
00:34:39Oh, nothing special, just a little tune-up.
00:34:43Huh.
00:34:44Well, I'd love to see your garage.
00:34:45You know, why don't I give you a call tomorrow if I get your car ready?
00:35:02Yeah.
00:35:06Oh, come on, guys.
00:35:15Give me a chance with this thing.
00:35:16Oh, it's Stephanie.
00:35:46It's usually a big change from the city, but it's quiet out here.
00:35:49I love it.
00:35:50This is it.
00:35:53Cool.
00:35:53It's like an old-time cabin.
00:35:55Yeah.
00:35:56Kind of cozy, isn't it?
00:35:59I'll tell you what.
00:36:00Why don't we leave the luggage in the car and get it later and let's go in the house and light a fire in the fireplace, huh?
00:36:06Well, what's wrong now?
00:36:16Nothing.
00:36:18It's charming.
00:36:19It's charming.
00:36:19I'm sorry, Elizabeth.
00:36:30I've been so busy at the diner, I just haven't had a chance to clean up.
00:36:34You've got a tree.
00:36:36Well, sure, you can't have Christmas without a tree, can you?
00:36:39Mom can.
00:36:40Can I help decorate it?
00:36:41I'll tell you what.
00:36:48Why don't you take your stuff to your room?
00:36:50It's just down the hall there.
00:36:51And I'll make some hot apple cider and then we'll decorate the tree, okay?
00:36:54This is the best.
00:36:55Well, when you said Christmas spirit, you weren't kidding, were you?
00:37:02Yeah.
00:37:03It's a lot, isn't it?
00:37:05I have to admit, it's pretty overwhelming.
00:37:08I didn't know where to start.
00:37:10So why'd you buy all this stuff?
00:37:12Oh, I didn't buy this.
00:37:14This is ours.
00:37:16Ours?
00:37:17Yeah.
00:37:18I found them in the basement back of the house when I moved.
00:37:25Well, that's, that's Mom's.
00:37:28Yeah.
00:37:41I'd almost forgotten how much your mother loved the holidays.
00:37:47Now, every year I used to put my foot down,
00:37:51say, not one more Christmas ornament, I'd say,
00:37:53and she'd come through that door with another something or other
00:37:57she couldn't live without.
00:38:02I thought you threw all of this out.
00:38:04Well, I, I always planned to, but, uh,
00:38:09well, I, uh,
00:38:13I just couldn't.
00:38:15So I, uh,
00:38:18I just hid them away,
00:38:22pretended they didn't exist.
00:38:25Which was a pretty stupid thing to do, as it turns out.
00:38:29It wasn't good for me, and, uh,
00:38:32certainly it wasn't good for you.
00:38:34You were only seven years old when your mother died.
00:38:43I thought that the only way that we could survive
00:38:46was by being strong,
00:38:49by moving on,
00:38:50not looking back.
00:38:51Elizabeth, I can't tell you how wrong I was.
00:39:01How could we ever forget?
00:39:05Can I put on the ornaments?
00:39:07Uh, sure, sure, come on.
00:39:14Mom, aren't you gonna help?
00:39:15No, you know what?
00:39:18I think I have a bit of a headache.
00:39:20I'm just gonna lie down.
00:39:22I'm sure you and Grandpa will do a great job.
00:39:30Oh, come on, Tiger, let's get to it.
00:39:32The tree's not gonna decorate itself,
00:39:34and we're gonna make this the best one ever.
00:39:36All right?
00:39:37Here we go.
00:39:38Just grab it in.
00:39:38I've got this in.
00:39:39Okay?
00:39:41Take it all the way around.
00:39:42Can you hang the lights, too?
00:39:45As many lights as you want.
00:39:50I just hate that you're having to handle everything on your own.
00:39:56Are you sure you don't need me to come back?
00:39:58Because I can if you need me to.
00:40:00Really?
00:40:00Friend, there's nothing going on.
00:40:03Everybody's closed.
00:40:04So we never got confirmation on the O'Connor loan?
00:40:06Just relax and enjoy your Christmas.
00:40:09Really, everything's under control here.
00:40:11All right.
00:40:12How are things going with your dad?
00:40:16Good.
00:40:17We and Mason seem to be getting along well.
00:40:19That's great!
00:40:22That's what Christmas is all about.
00:40:24And you?
00:40:25Are you having fun?
00:40:26You should see this place.
00:40:28It's like the cult of Christmas.
00:40:30It's kind of creepy.
00:40:31Well, I, for one, love Christmas.
00:40:35You sound awfully chipper.
00:40:36Let's just say holiday speed dating was a huge success this year.
00:40:41No more.
00:40:41No more Baham Bucks.
00:40:43Have fun and quit worrying.
00:40:45Bye.
00:40:45No, Allison.
00:40:47Allison.
00:40:48Allison.
00:41:01I'd say good morning, but it doesn't look like that's the case.
00:41:04I'm not a Scrooge.
00:41:05Well, that's good to know.
00:41:06I just, I look at the world realistically.
00:41:09Well, they, they say you find what you're looking for.
00:41:13Well, it's better than being naive.
00:41:14Is it?
00:41:15Because children are naive.
00:41:17And they're a lot happier than most adults.
00:41:20Ergo, being naive wins out over cynical.
00:41:26Ergo?
00:41:27Philosophy major.
00:41:29Not a good it did me.
00:41:30And I'm not cynical either.
00:41:32You shouldn't fake it pretty well.
00:41:39I'm going to get you some more coffee.
00:41:46Happy Holidays and welcome to the Hollyville Top of the Morning Report.
00:41:52Please be on the lookout for a runaway snowman
00:41:54described by authorities as having a button nose
00:41:57and two eyes made out of coal.
00:41:59Yeah.
00:42:00Maybe I just take a quick look for me.
00:42:04No.
00:42:05No, the papers are on the desk.
00:42:07No, under those.
00:42:09No, under those papers.
00:42:10Mom, did you see that?
00:42:11Just a sec.
00:42:12Yeah, on the top right of those documents.
00:42:14It's that number there.
00:42:15Mom.
00:42:15What?
00:42:16Look.
00:42:20Okay, Mason, I can't do this right now.
00:42:21I finally tracked down my escrow officer.
00:42:23Yeah, that's the number.
00:42:24That's it.
00:42:25Is there a fax?
00:42:27Okay, just give me that.
00:42:28That's fine.
00:42:30Tell him I...
00:42:31Mason!
00:42:35I'll call you back.
00:42:46Mason!
00:42:51Mason!
00:42:51Mason!
00:42:51Mason!
00:42:51Mason!
00:42:52I'm not telling you again!
00:43:06What are you doing?
00:43:10Did you see him?
00:43:11He went in the building.
00:43:12Who?
00:43:13The Santa guy.
00:43:14I think he works here.
00:43:16Tiger, come on.
00:43:17Enough with the games.
00:43:18But I saw him.
00:43:19And there's all these packages.
00:43:21And the guy who looks like an elf?
00:43:24And the sleigh?
00:43:25I even heard them say it can fly.
00:43:27Mason, please.
00:43:29I'm telling you, I saw it all.
00:43:31I'll prove it to you.
00:43:32Come on.
00:43:34You don't need to prove anything.
00:43:35Well, you're acting like I'm crazy or something.
00:43:39Look, I believe that maybe you saw a sleigh.
00:43:42It's probably a prop or something.
00:43:44Then why was that mechanic fixing it?
00:43:46I don't know.
00:43:47We can ask her when we pick up the car.
00:43:49And what about the elf guy?
00:43:50And all those gifts?
00:43:51Everyone knows elves have pointy ears, right?
00:43:57He just dresses funny, like everyone in this town.
00:44:01Tiger, I love that you have an active imagination,
00:44:04but you're not suggesting that that man was Santa Claus, are you?
00:44:08I don't know.
00:44:09Maybe.
00:44:10He's not, okay?
00:44:13How do you know?
00:44:14It's possible.
00:44:16Mason.
00:44:16I'm just saying it's possible.
00:44:19Why do you always have to be like this?
00:44:21Tiger!
00:44:24Hey!
00:44:25No loitering.
00:44:26I'm not.
00:44:28Never mind.
00:44:31Are those presents?
00:44:35You'll have to move along now.
00:44:37Just move along.
00:44:38You guys really go for the details here, don't you?
00:44:43This is Mike.
00:44:45Gone.
00:44:45Keep an eye out, though.
00:44:49I know.
00:44:50That is not a very cheery face.
00:45:18Can I ask you something?
00:45:21Yeah, fire away.
00:45:24I thought...
00:45:25No.
00:45:27It's stupid.
00:45:29There's no stupid questions, Mason.
00:45:31I thought maybe I saw Santa Claus.
00:45:37But, Mom, she didn't believe me.
00:45:41She didn't believe it was possible.
00:45:43Believing is not always easy for adults.
00:45:47Now, Hollyville.
00:45:49Hollyville is a town of believers.
00:45:51But most of us didn't start out that way.
00:45:53At least not when we first got here.
00:45:55But believing is something that comes naturally to you when you're young.
00:45:56But believing is something that comes naturally to you when you're young.
00:46:01Don't ever lose that, Mason.
00:46:03Because when you get older...
00:46:05It takes a lot more work.
00:46:10So, do you believe or not?
00:46:12I do.
00:46:15I'm a definite believer.
00:46:17So, I might have really seen him?
00:46:19Anything and everything is possible.
00:46:22Yeah.
00:46:23That's what I think, too.
00:46:26There you are.
00:46:28Is everything okay?
00:46:30Yeah, we were just, uh...
00:46:32having a conversation.
00:46:34Turns out we have a lot in common.
00:46:36Isn't that right?
00:46:37Definitely.
00:46:37So, please tell me you're coming to the festival tonight.
00:46:42It's the beginning of Christmas Eve.
00:46:44It's just a couple hours away.
00:46:46Well, you've got the day wrong.
00:46:48Tomorrow is Christmas Eve.
00:46:49No, no, no.
00:46:50Not here.
00:46:50In New Zealand.
00:46:52New Zealand's a complete 24 hours ahead of us.
00:46:54That's where Christmas Eve starts.
00:46:57Of course.
00:46:58We didn't want to miss that.
00:47:01No, you shouldn't.
00:47:03Well, we better go check on the car.
00:47:06See ya.
00:47:07He's amazing.
00:47:12He knows so much about Christmas.
00:47:14Does he?
00:47:15You should talk to him.
00:47:17He could teach you.
00:47:18Well, I have to tell you.
00:47:25I'm really sorry.
00:47:26This is taking a lot longer than I figured.
00:47:28Uh-huh.
00:47:28That special project you were working on for North Pole Enterprises.
00:47:33It's a doozy, let me tell you.
00:47:34Those reindeer aren't easy on a sophisticated machine like that.
00:47:39Reindeer?
00:47:40Mm-hmm.
00:47:46Are you working on a sleigh?
00:47:47Not a sleigh.
00:47:50The sleigh.
00:47:52And I've only got a couple hours to finish up, so if you'll excuse me.
00:47:56But...
00:47:56He's still working on the sleigh?
00:48:03Apparently.
00:48:03He's still working on a sleigh.
00:48:04He's still working on a sleigh.
00:48:05He's still working on a sleigh.

00:48:18He's still working on a sleigh.

00:51:16Just this one call. Super fast, I promise.
00:51:18Just like the last one?
00:51:21Hi, John. Did you get my message?
00:51:24Oh, great. But I know it's the holidays. I'm sorry.
00:51:26But if you could check on that, that would be good.
00:51:29Okay, let me know.
00:51:32Yeah, it is time.
00:51:34You said no working.
00:51:36No, just a couple more calls.
00:51:39Mom, you're talking on your cell phone at a Christmas party.
00:51:41Can't we just have fun?
00:51:43Yes, we will. I promise.
00:51:46Fine. If you miss Santa this late, don't blame us.
00:51:49Hey, I thought we talked about this already.
00:51:52I don't want you to get your hopes up about this whole Santa Claus thing.
00:51:57He's coming. Grandpa and Kevin told me.
00:52:00They're loading up Santa's sack with the toys right now.
00:52:03Why'd you tell him that?
00:52:05Because he asked.
00:52:07And they're in a hurry because Santa's takeoff is in two hours.
00:52:12Oh, really?
00:52:13But it's not even Christmas Eve.
00:52:16Or did everybody forget that?
00:52:18It's not Christmas Eve here.
00:52:20But in New Zealand, it's already tomorrow.
00:52:22Right?
00:52:23Exactly right.
00:52:24Good one.
00:52:25Right. I forgot.
00:52:27Well, that's fine.
00:52:28But as long as you know you're not actually going to see it.
00:52:31Right?
00:52:32It's just a pretend thing.
00:52:33You know, why don't you just go ahead and work.
00:52:39At least that way, you won't keep trying to ruin everything.
00:52:44Mason!
00:52:45Leave me alone.
00:52:50I just don't want him to be disappointed.
00:52:53It's my fault.
00:52:54Yes, it is.
00:52:55Why are you filling his head with all that nonsense anyway?
00:52:57It's my fault because I raised you the way that my father raised me.
00:53:03No nonsense.
00:53:05Nose to the grindstone.
00:53:07I can't imagine how disappointed you were with me then.
00:53:10And for that, I am truly sorry, Elizabeth.
00:53:12I really am.
00:53:15Dad.
00:53:16Look, I'll go talk to him.
00:53:18Right?
00:53:19Fantastic trip.
00:53:29Love this town.
00:53:32He's going to be all right.
00:53:36I just don't want him to grow up always being disappointed.
00:53:39Always thinking that things are going to be great.
00:53:41When the truth is, they're just not.
00:53:43Sure sounds like you've had some hard times.
00:53:46I'm sure we all have.
00:53:47But I learned to take care of myself.
00:53:48And how did you manage to do that?
00:53:50Stop hoping?
00:53:51I started being realistic.
00:53:53Started seeing the world as it really is.
00:53:55A hard, cold place.
00:53:58You think I'm a horrible person.
00:53:59No, I don't.
00:54:00I think you're a really good person doing the best that you can.
00:54:05Life is full of disappointments.
00:54:08But when I look at Mason, I see the light shining in his eyes when he looks at a Christmas tree or he talks about the elves.
00:54:14I can't help but think that that's kind of magic burning inside him.
00:54:18And a little magic.
00:54:20And a little hope.
00:54:21That's what we have.
00:54:22That's what we have to arm ourselves against the grand disappointments of this world.
00:54:31Hope, huh?
00:54:31Mm-hmm.
00:54:32It's never been one of my strong suits.
00:54:34Never too late to learn.
00:54:35Well, it might just lead to another disappointment.
00:54:38It could lead to something pretty amazing.
00:54:44I, um, I have to go look for Mason.
00:54:48It's never been one of my strong suits.
00:55:00It's never been one of my strong suits.
00:55:02It's never been one of my strong suits.
00:55:04Mason?
00:55:34there we go
00:55:35Mason can I ask you to do me a favor

00:59:00Mason?
00:59:04Mason?
00:59:07Have you seen Mason before?
00:59:09Yeah, he went to go take a picture of something.
00:59:12Maybe he went to go see the Christmas tree.
00:59:16Well, I'm sure we'll find him somewhere.
00:59:17Here.
00:59:29Mason!
00:59:34Mason!
00:59:38Mason!
00:59:39Mason!
01:00:07Mason!
01:00:07I don't know.
01:00:37We got to move, move, move, okay?
01:00:51We still got to get the sack loaded on and the harness attached.
01:00:54I had to put in a new exhaust system.
01:00:57This long? I would have thought you put in a Maserati in.
01:00:59Don't be acting like this is my fault. This is the actual piece of machinery.
01:01:03No, I'm just saying we could have used a little more time.
01:01:08And I could have used more than three hours sleep, but you don't hear me complaining.
01:01:11Let's just get it loaded up.
01:01:13Yeah, yeah.
01:01:14Yeah.
01:01:17The track's not going to move on its own. Let's go.
01:01:19Faster! Faster!
01:01:35Mason!
01:01:37Mason!
01:01:46Mason!
01:01:48Mason!
01:01:52He's not the candy store.
01:01:54You're going to have to put a leash on that boy.
01:01:56Hold it. Hold it. Hold it. Hold it.
01:02:22No sign of him.
01:02:26Dad, do you have your cell phone on you?
01:02:28Oh, good idea. You want me to call your phone?
01:02:30No, it's okay. Let me.
01:02:39You're happy now.
01:02:41Just a sec.
01:02:43Hey, the boss is wondering if the flight has arrived yet. It's running late.
01:02:56Right. Right. Where to run?
01:02:58We're moving.
01:02:59Let's go!
01:03:01Come on!
01:03:02Right. They're on their way right now.
01:03:04Grandpa?
01:03:05Mason, where are you?
01:03:06Oh, hey, Mom.
01:03:07Mason, tell me where you are right now.
01:03:09I'm going to take pictures.
01:03:11Then you'll believe me about the soleil and everything.
01:03:13No, I want you to come back here.
01:03:15Soon as I take the pictures.
01:03:17I gotta go. See you in a little while.
01:03:20Mason, don't hang up.
01:03:21Mason?
01:03:24Where is he?
01:03:24I think he must have gone back to the garage.
01:03:27Can you stay here and keep an eye out for him?
01:03:29I'm sure he's fine.
01:03:31We're on our way. Open the gate.
01:03:42Back it in. Let's go, let's go.
01:03:46Back up. Back up.
01:03:49Open the door.
01:03:50Let's get it in there.
01:03:52Come on.
01:03:53Move it. Move it.
01:03:56Back it in.
01:03:57Careful. Easy.
01:04:02Okay, raise it up.
01:04:07Okay, let's start rounding the team up and make sure we're ready for immediate loading.
01:04:14Yes, sir.
01:04:15We're hoops up in 45 minutes.
01:04:17Let's move it.
01:04:18What are you waiting for?
01:04:19Christmas?
01:04:19Get them up, though.
01:04:20Bring these.
01:04:20What are you waiting for?
01:04:39Roxy?
01:04:39Mason?
01:04:41Anyone?
01:04:41Anyone?
01:04:45I told you that Roxy's at the festival.
01:04:48He said there was a sleigh in there.
01:04:50Well, that sleigh is loaded and ready to go by now.
01:04:54Really?
01:04:55She was really repairing a sleigh?
01:04:57That's Roxy's job.
01:04:58She did the conversion.
01:04:59She does the repairs.
01:05:02Okay, he said he was taking pictures, so...
01:05:05He's got to be at MP Enterprises.
01:05:07I hate to be a cringe, people, but we do have rules here, and we really need your cooperation.
01:05:23And nobody's allowed to try in a big guy's suit.
01:05:26You know who you are, and so do we.
01:05:29Can somebody please get more jingle bells to the loading bay immediately?
01:05:40We've got a reindeer poop alert.
01:05:43Clean up crew to the holding area right away.
01:05:45Come on, guys.
01:05:46Come on, fellas.
01:05:47We've got a lot of poop to clean.
01:05:48And bring a fan.
01:05:49A big one.
01:05:50All right, time to start loading up.
01:06:15All gifts should be on board and ready for travel in five minutes.
01:06:18Jingle bells should be unloaded in loading bay seven.
01:06:29Mistletoe in loading bay eight.
01:06:31She's got a lot of pork.
01:06:53All right.
01:06:55Just wanted you to know, whoever's eating the heads off the gingerbread men,
01:07:17we will find you, and we will put coal in your stocking.
01:07:25C'mon, guys!
01:07:37C'mon, guys!
01:07:41Hello? Hey!
01:07:54No unauthorized visitors are permitted on this premises.
01:07:58Listen, you nutcracker stormtrooper, my son is inside.
01:08:01Nobody gets past me.
01:08:03Oh, really? Are you certain of that?
01:08:05Listen, I would like you to open these gates so I can come in there and look for him.
01:08:09Uh, maybe there's somebody you could talk to.
01:08:13We really need to find the kid.
01:08:15We're awfully busy in here.
01:08:17It's like a half hour until takeoff.
01:08:19Mike, I wouldn't be asking you unless it was important.
01:08:24Just a sec.
01:08:28Sometimes being nice to people works better than chewing people out.
01:08:32Not usually.
01:08:33Well, sometimes.
01:08:42Does anyone speak Swahili?
01:08:44If so, please report immediately to Wishlist Translation Services.
01:08:50Prancer and Vixen have requested a second meal of hay.
01:09:10Please respond immediately.
01:09:12We get you.
01:09:13Please respond immediately to twins Guatemala.
01:09:14Come back.
01:09:15Please respond immediately to methylated mate.

01:09:18Can you drive around to Brythe?
01:09:19Please respond.
01:09:24Well, please run across Apache East.
01:09:33Sorry!
01:09:35We go.
01:09:39Does anyone speak Gaelic?
01:09:54If so, please report immediately to Wishlist Translation Services.
01:10:06We are getting forecasts of blizzard conditions in Bucharest.
01:10:09So let's be sure to pack the electric tow warmers.
01:10:14What do they do here anyway?
01:10:16I saw them unloading presents.
01:10:19The export.
01:10:21Yeah, you told me.
01:10:22But there's no trucks, no train vehicles.
01:10:24Excuse me, what's going on here?
01:10:27Do you have any idea what sort of deadline we're on right now?
01:10:31Hi.
01:10:32My son is inside your facility.
01:10:34I don't know what's going on here.
01:10:36Mm-hmm.
01:10:37Hi.
01:10:38My son is inside your facility, and unless you want me to call the police immediately,
01:10:41you'll let me in to look for him.
01:10:43Pretty cute when she's angry, isn't she?
01:10:46Eh.
01:10:47Sorry.
01:10:48Listen.
01:10:49Uh, Otis, we can probably get this taken care of pretty quickly and get out of your way.
01:10:55This could not have happened at a worse time.
01:10:58Open up the gates!
01:11:01Michael, I want you to stay here and make sure no one else enters.
01:11:05Come on.
01:11:06Let's see if we can find ourselves astray running around somewhere.
01:11:09Attention, everybody.
01:11:10Code red.
01:11:11We have a possible kid in the building.
01:11:13Hey!
01:11:14Gotta find him.
01:11:15Go!
01:11:16What's up, guys?
01:11:17Go!
01:11:18Go!
01:11:19Go!
01:11:20Go!
01:11:21Go!
01:11:22Go!
01:11:23Go!
01:11:24Go!
01:11:25Go!
01:11:26Go!
01:11:27Go!
01:11:28Go!
01:11:29Go!
01:11:30Go!
01:11:31Go!
01:11:32Go!
01:11:33Go!
01:11:34Go!
01:11:35Go!
01:11:36Go!
01:11:37Go!
01:11:38Hmm.
01:11:39Now, where should I put my clothes?
01:11:40Hmm?
01:11:41Who do we have here?
01:12:01Reindeer got your tongue?
01:12:03Well, I think this is definitely going on your naughty list!
01:12:09Well, he must be inside because he phoned and said he was taking a picture of a sleigh.
01:12:17We've already unloaded the sleigh.
01:12:20Hey, Otis, we found the boy.
01:12:21Is he okay?
01:12:23Where is he?
01:12:24Santa Claus had one of the workers take him back into town.
01:12:27He's at the eggnog. He's just fine.
01:12:29You happy now? Can we please get back to work?
01:12:35All right, we've got less than five minutes, people. Let's get this show rolling.
01:12:39See, I told you that they're not bad people.
01:12:44What do they do?
01:12:46They do Christmas.
01:12:57Come on, let's not keep Mason waiting.
01:13:05Coming.
01:13:09So you're telling me that you saw Santa?
01:13:15Yeah, it was so awesome.
01:13:17I saw him all.
01:13:18Nathan!
01:13:19Mom?
01:13:20Mom?
01:13:20It was the coolest thing.
01:13:29I saw him.
01:13:30The guy, Santa Claus.
01:13:32It was really him.
01:13:33At first, I thought he was totally mad at me.
01:13:35But actually, he wasn't so much.
01:13:38It's the coolest place.
01:13:40There are all these presents.
01:13:41This is where they do the loading up of all the toys.
01:13:45Oh, I've got pictures.
01:13:47You want to see?
01:13:53They were there.
01:13:54I checked them.
01:13:56Here, let me see.
01:13:57It was real.
01:14:04I swear.
01:14:05The toys were getting shipped off everywhere.
01:14:07And Santa looked just like he does in all the pictures.
01:14:13You believe me, don't you?
01:14:15I do, Mason.
01:14:24I do believe you.
01:14:31Come on, Mason.
01:14:33Santa's about to make his big entrance, and everybody's waiting.
01:14:36So, Santa's actually coming to town, huh?
01:14:53Yeah, just like he does every year on Christmas Eve Eve, courtesy of North Pole Enterprises.
01:14:59Oh, so they're behind all of this?
01:15:01Yes, they're business.
01:15:03They create Christmas decorations and props.
01:15:09Props?
01:15:10Yeah, the gingerbread houses for the mall Santas, the elf costumes, giant Christmas trees.
01:15:18International export.
01:15:20Mm-hmm.
01:15:22So that's the big secret?
01:15:23Well, we try to keep it quiet, because we wouldn't want to turn Hollyville into some big tourist trap, now would we?
01:15:29No, we wouldn't want that.
01:15:33Hey, Merry Christmas!
01:15:37Merry Christmas!
01:15:37Merry Christmas!
01:15:39Wow!
01:15:41What?
01:15:42Well, I'm just wondering if maybe you're becoming a believer.
01:15:46Maybe, a little.
01:15:48And it feels good, doesn't it?
01:15:50Because Christmas might not last for long, but it feels good for a little while just to let go and believe.
01:15:56Like, there's a whole world of possibilities out there, just waiting.
01:16:01I haven't really opened the door to possibilities.
01:16:04Not for a long time.
01:16:06And it sounds like you're overdue.
01:16:08See, because we have this thing called, uh, discovering the magic.
01:16:12Oh, yeah.
01:16:14I think I might have heard it once or twice.
01:16:16Yeah, but what the real magic is, is being thankful for what you have, and hoping that something even better is coming.
01:16:23Sounds like a lot of wishful thinking.
01:16:25Well, that's best kind, because you never know what's waiting right around the corner.
01:16:29The sleigh.
01:16:46Roxy's crowning achievement.
01:16:48Ladies and gentlemen, here comes Santa Claus!
01:17:04Ho, ho, ho!
01:17:05On Dasher!
01:17:11So Mason did see it.
01:17:14Santa, the reindeer, and the big red sleigh.
01:17:17Then if we don't hurry, we're going to miss him handing out the presents.
01:17:21Well, what are we waiting for?
01:17:30I got a present!
01:17:32You did?
01:17:32What is it?
01:17:33I don't know.
01:17:34Can I open it?
01:17:35Go for it.
01:17:39I'm so glad you came here.
01:17:43Me too.
01:17:44Crazy.
01:17:46Hey!
01:17:47Ready to have some fun?
01:17:49I thought I was.
01:17:50Well, I think you need a little something to get into the Christmas spirit.
01:17:54Ho, ho, ho.
01:17:55Come on, Jackie boy.
01:17:57I'm not done with you yet.
01:17:58Ah!
01:17:59Help!
01:17:59Looks like somebody found a little bit of holiday spirit.
01:18:02I'd love to meet the starry flag.
01:18:07I'd give anything including the moon.
01:18:11For Christmas dance with you.
01:18:15You know what?
01:18:20I've got an idea.
01:18:21Excuse me.
01:18:22Can you hold that?
01:18:24May I interest you in a little holiday samba?
01:18:26Oh.
01:18:27I don't want to go with your dancer.
01:18:28No, no, no, no.
01:18:29I'm a horrible dancer, too, but we can make fools out of ourselves together.
01:18:32Okay?
01:18:34I'd like that.
01:18:35Hey-ho, the mistletoe.
01:18:38Oh, it's you.
01:18:40Hey.
01:18:42Come back here with that.
01:18:43Merry Christmas to me.
01:19:10Oh, that boy.
01:19:22I can't remember a feeling like this
01:19:29Such heavenly bliss
01:19:32Intoxicated by your kiss
01:19:35You shouldn't ask me, I'll say
01:19:38I don't mind, just give me a sign
01:19:43Let me know that you are mine
01:19:46And when a Christmas might such big be you
01:19:51Mason?
01:19:57Shh
01:19:57Listen
01:20:00Listen
01:20:00You might want to look up
01:20:19It's a beautiful moon
01:20:21Better than a picture any day
01:20:34Liz
01:20:48Everything okay?
01:20:51Everything is perfect
01:20:53It's the best Christmas ever
01:20:55Yeah
01:20:56The best Christmas ever
01:20:58Come on Mason, let's go get a cup of hot chocolate
