01:13:09J'ai eu un grand part dans mon bon fortune.
01:13:13Je veux que je sais que je suis en love avec Faith,
01:13:15mais je sais que elle aime vous.
01:13:17Et je pense que vous faites ça pour toutes les raisons.
01:13:19Entendu.
01:13:56The image of the Holy Family puts me in mind of our own Nevada City and the families here.
01:14:10Jesus came for the world, yet like all of us,
01:14:13he was a small-town kid who never strayed far from his loving family.
01:14:17He was surrounded by people who loved each other
01:14:19and had, as his example, Joseph,
01:14:22who, by choosing to stand by Mary,
01:14:25set the standard for doing the right thing.
01:14:27For making the kinds of choices that call upon us
01:14:30to set aside our own desires for another's welfare.
01:14:33Is there any greater gift we can give
01:14:35or larger goodness we can do?
01:14:36I don't think so, friends.
01:14:39I just want to remind everybody to be sure to say a prayer
01:14:42for our brave men and women
01:14:44and the armed services who are overseas
01:14:48in harm's way on this holiday season.
01:14:52All right?
01:14:53Now that your candles are lit,
01:14:55let's all sing Silent Night.
01:14:56Silent Night
01:15:10Holy Night
01:15:14All is calm
01:15:19All is bright

01:16:50Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas!
01:17:10Merry Christmas, Richard! Here, let me help you with this.
01:17:13I didn't see Cody's bike out front.
01:17:16You know where he went?
01:17:17No. You?
01:17:18I don't like this. His bed's made up. Looks like all of his stuff is gone.
01:17:22Oh, look, look, look, look, look!
01:17:24Look, he left a card and a map or something.
01:17:28Huh?
01:17:29Um, dear Rosie, Faith, Luke, and Richard, the last couple of weeks have meant the world to me. You invited me into your home, and for that I will be eternally grateful. I've lived a lifetime here in Nevada City and will cherish every memory, every image. I wish you all a lifetime of love, happiness, and peace. Merry Christmas, Cody Cullen. P.S. If you follow this map, you'll find your Christmas present. Look.
01:17:47Let's go.
01:17:49When are we gonna open our Christmas presents? Oh, boy.
01:17:53P.S. When are we gonna open our Christmas presents? Oh, boy.
01:18:09Oh, boy.
01:18:25Easy does it.
01:18:27Come on.
01:18:29Come on.
01:18:34Oh, look at this.
01:18:36Beautiful.
01:18:37Oh, I'll be darned.
01:18:40Where the magic begins.
01:18:44The time Cody must have spent on this.
01:18:47This is what you two were working on until the wee hours? Guilty as charged.
01:18:56Oh, Richard. Thank you.
01:18:58Look, don't thank me. Thank Cody. It was all his doing. I just showed him how to hold a hammer and nail a nail and work the table saw.
01:19:05Okay?
01:19:06Mm-hmm.
01:19:17Dear Faith, I've fallen in love with you twice now. Once when this beautiful woman swiped some of my crispy curly fries. And then the first time, when a thoughtful, tender woman sent me this card. I want to thank you for showing me how amazing love can make me feel. I hope all your dreams come true. Cody.
01:19:41So this card brought him to Nevada City? No. You did. Dad, I have to find him. I have an idea.
