00:00:00Live from our studio in New York City,
00:00:09Another Cup with Liza Brown.
00:00:12And here she is.
00:00:16Welcome to Another Cup with Liza Brown.
00:00:30Our guest host this week is none other than lifestyle guru
00:00:43and author of volume 1 through 12 of Joy to the World.
00:00:47Please welcome Joy Edwards.
00:01:00Great to have you, Joy.
00:01:12Oh, it's great to be here, Liza.
00:01:14You not only write about the perfect lifestyle, you live it.
00:01:18Are you a perfectionist?
00:01:19Absolutely not.
00:01:21As long as everything is exactly as it should be, I'm totally flexible.
00:01:25Speaking of perfect, your country home, Goose Lane.
00:01:36Oh, it's almost too good to be true.
00:01:43Unreal.
00:01:44Tell us about Christmas at Goose Lane.
00:01:46Well, for me, the holidays are all about family.
00:01:49We trim the tree, we hang the stocking,
00:01:52and, of course, those long, romantic walks to the refrigerator.
00:01:57Your fans love you so much
00:01:59because we feel like we know you and your family.
00:02:03Tori and Tommy, they're 8 and 13 now.
00:02:06Where does the time go?
00:02:08Oh, your mom and dad.
00:02:10Will we ever get to meet them all?
00:02:12Ah, well, not if I'm going to continue selling books.
00:02:15No, they're as wonderful as you'd expect,
00:02:19but privacy is important to us.
00:02:21At least tell us your recipe for a happy marriage.
00:02:24I'm not sure there's a recipe for that,
00:02:27but I will say to all the ladies out there,
00:02:31no matter how long it takes, pick the right guy.
00:02:35Find the one that ruins your lipstick, not your mascara.
00:02:43You heard it from the source, folks.
00:02:45She writes about it.
00:02:47She lives it.
00:02:49Now let's see her cook it.
00:02:50Set the table and put it on a nice plate.
00:02:57Even bad food tastes better.
00:03:00Girl, I'm going to your house for Christmas.
00:03:02Well, I'll set an extra plate.
00:03:04If you're looking for a last-minute holiday gift,
00:03:07look no further than Joy to the World,
00:03:09Christmas at Goose Lane.
00:03:11We'll be back with more Joy Edwards after these messages.
00:03:14Santa's watching, so be nice and stay tuned.
00:03:22This is great.
00:03:26Your Insta is blowing up.
00:03:28Is the week over yet?
00:03:30It's Monday, Joy.
00:03:31Yeah, I don't know how I'm going to keep this up.
00:03:34Hey, are you kidding?
00:03:35You're a natural.
00:03:36Yeah, that's what scares me.
00:03:37Yeah, you know what scares me?
00:03:38Plummeting sails.
00:03:39I meant what I said, Josh.
00:03:41This is my last book.
00:03:43I need a life.
00:03:45Joy, sweetie,
00:03:47you have an SUV and a chauffeur
00:03:50waiting in the freezing cold to drive you home.
00:03:52This is a life.
00:03:54One second.
00:03:55I need a real life.
00:03:57Trust me.
00:03:58It's overrated.
00:03:59Miss Edwards.
00:04:18Hey, that was a cute accent.
00:04:21Thought I would spice things up a bit.
00:04:23Caught the show.
00:04:25You were brilliant as always.
00:04:27Really?
00:04:27I was so nervous.
00:04:31Although you did steal my line
00:04:32about romantic walks to the fridge.
00:04:35Sorry.
00:04:36That's all good.
00:04:37I'll let you slide.
00:04:39Besides, now I can tell my patrons
00:04:40I've been quoted on TV.
00:04:42Um, a food show.
00:04:44I'll be at that point, yeah.
00:04:46So, try to?
00:04:49Spicy burritos and iceberg shakes.
00:04:52Ice fire sauce.
00:04:53Chili fries.
00:04:57I had a dream last night
00:05:10You were by my side
00:05:13At that special time of year
00:05:18I woke up to the snow
00:05:22There were songs on the radio
00:05:25I turned around and there you were, my dear
00:05:30Now that I'm here with you
00:05:37Thank you for doing this.
00:05:40It's so embarrassing.
00:05:44Hey, come on.
00:05:44Who hasn't used a fake chauffeur nowadays?
00:05:47Well, tomorrow I'm taking an Uber.
00:05:50Yeah, Uber my dead body.
00:05:53Hey, come on.
00:05:53It's the least I can do.
00:05:55You didn't let me crash in your guest house
00:05:56since Thanksgiving.
00:05:58Well, you can stay here as long as you like.
00:06:00Well, thank you.
00:06:01But like I said, I'll be out of your hair before the holidays.
00:06:04Holidays?
00:06:05What holidays?
00:06:08Oh, hold up.
00:06:14Ooh, redhead.
00:06:16That's new for you.
00:06:17Yeah, she works at the bakery.
00:06:19Went in for coffee a few times.
00:06:21That was cordial.
00:06:23You know me.
00:06:24Huh?
00:06:24You are a cordial guy?
00:06:26Well, I think she misread my cordiality.
00:06:29Just another person who finds you irresistible.
00:06:34That's just you.
00:06:35Ha!
00:06:38Come on.
00:06:39You named your fake husband after me.
00:06:41Who is another Max?
00:06:42What other Max?
00:06:43Mad Max?
00:06:44No.
00:06:45Max Mercury?
00:06:46No.
00:06:46Max Schmeling?
00:06:48Who's Max Schmeling?
00:06:49Heavyweight champion of the world, 1930.
00:06:51Uh, it was another Max.
00:06:53Yeah.
00:06:55You had your chance.
00:06:57You remember that bad diner you used to work at?
00:07:00I remember you pretending to like the food.
00:07:02Yeah, it took me four bowls of that stew to work up the courage to ask you out.
00:07:05You gave me heartburn.
00:07:07And a broken heart.
00:07:08I did not break your heart.
00:07:10How do you know?
00:07:11You had a string of girls waiting in the wings, just like always.
00:07:15Yeah, but think of all the bad dates you would have spared me if you hadn't decided that we were just better off as friends.
00:07:23So the bad dates are my fault now.
00:07:25Yeah.
00:07:27Well, we are still friends.
00:07:30Oh, Goose Lane friendship.
00:07:32Volume 17.
00:07:35See you in the morning.
00:07:36Yup.
00:07:38Max von Sydow.
00:07:40The old priest and the exorcist.
00:07:42What the hell is going on?
00:07:50Maybe it's going on.
00:07:52No, what the hell is going on?
00:07:55Oh, you are just fine.
00:07:56We are still fine.
00:07:57The shoes will be fine.
00:07:59I want you to just switch between the inside and cover the lui.
00:08:01Sometimes it's small safety is usually the only one day.
00:08:04And when you are in love, what are you doing?
00:08:06I want you to be fine.
00:08:08Huang vient Gabi right?
00:08:09I want you to be fine.
00:08:10Well, we tried.
00:08:40Well, we tried.
00:09:10Oh, Marta, how many times are you going to do that?
00:09:31It never gets old.
00:09:34And why do I bother making you bed when you sleep down here every night?
00:09:37It's not every night, and I make my own bed.
00:09:41It is according to my count.
00:09:43Oh, well, stop counting and vacuuming.
00:09:46In fact, just take the day off.
00:09:48You gave me the day off yesterday, and you have a show tomorrow.
00:09:52Oh, no.
00:09:55Did you make coffee?
00:09:56It's your turn, and not so strong.
00:10:03Aren't you going to ask me if I saw the show?
00:10:05Because I did.
00:10:07Dodged another bullet if you asked me.
00:10:10Which I'm not.
00:10:11You could solve all your problems by putting a stop to this.
00:10:15Which I plan to, after Christmas.
00:10:17You said that last Christmas.
00:10:20Look, Mr. Merriman's really counting on this book.
00:10:24You said that last Christmas, too.
00:10:27Keep this up.
00:10:27You'll be alone for the rest of your life.
00:10:29I'm not alone.
00:10:31I have you.
00:10:32And Mr. Handsome out there in the guest house.
00:10:36He's a friend, Marta.
00:10:38Then what's he still doing here?
00:10:40I don't know.
00:10:41The loft has water damage.
00:10:45Whatever you say.
00:10:46And don't wear that red lipstick on camera.
00:10:49It's not your color.
00:10:55You need a little Christmas in this place.
00:10:59Oh, hey, Sabrina.
00:11:02Hi, Joy.
00:11:03Just delivering the wrapping paper you ordered.
00:11:0514 rolls.
00:11:07Wow.
00:11:08I thought I ordered two.
00:11:09Not according to my records.
00:11:11That's $146, including tax.
00:11:14PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle.
00:11:16Yeah, come on in.
00:11:19Wait, aren't you supposed to be at school?
00:11:21It's winter break.
00:11:22Right.
00:11:23Okay, so you said, uh, $140?
00:11:27$146, including tax.
00:11:30Right.
00:11:31My parents are spending the holidays with some very important clients in Aspen.
00:11:35Oh.
00:11:36Are you leaving you guys alone?
00:11:37No.
00:11:38Our nanny's here.
00:11:39She lets us do whatever we want.
00:11:41Oh, and I have a new Christmas demo.
00:11:43I really had the high notes this year.
00:11:45I'll airdrop you.
00:11:46Okay, great.
00:11:47I can't wait to hear it.
00:11:48Sure, sure.
00:11:56Aggressive.
00:11:57Oh, yeah.
00:11:58She tried to sell me a $30 glass of lemonade last summer.
00:12:03Whoa!
00:12:04Ow!
00:12:05What now?
00:12:08You know.
00:12:09Oh, come on.
00:12:14You knocked over my reindeer.
00:12:16Watch this, dude.
00:12:17But, no.
00:12:19What did I tell you about skateboarding in my yard, Henry?
00:12:22I don't go by Henry anymore.
00:12:24It's Hawk now.
00:12:25Oh.
00:12:26Okay, Hawk.
00:12:28Well, fly off, or I'm going to call your parents.
00:12:31No, you're not.
00:12:32You said that last time.
00:12:34Uh, could you help me with the reindeer, maybe?
00:12:37Flying away like you told me to.
00:12:38Come on.
00:12:54It's open.
00:12:56Morning.
00:12:57Morning.
00:13:00Oh, Max, I love it.
00:13:03You notice the gooses?
00:13:04I think it's geeses.
00:13:06Well, these geeses are going above your fireplace.
00:13:10Oh, come on.
00:13:11I couldn't.
00:13:13Consider it an early Christmas present.
00:13:21I gotta find a new bakery.
00:13:24Wouldn't it be just more cordial to message her back?
00:13:27I have.
00:13:29I just wanted a cup of coffee.
00:13:30And it wasn't even coffee.
00:13:32It was decaf.
00:13:34Anyway, you ready to roll?
00:13:37Hey, you heard from the Frankie Vinnie gallery.
00:13:39Standard form rejection letter.
00:13:42Oh, I'm sorry.
00:13:43It's their loss.
00:13:44Pretty sure it's mine.
00:13:45They're the second best gallery in the city.
00:13:48Yeah, but we're not going to settle for second.
00:13:50You're going to get the best.
00:13:52Wow.
00:13:53All right.
00:13:59Best, huh?
00:14:06Good morning, Freddy.
00:14:08Good morning, Joy.
00:14:10Just some bills.
00:14:11I'm sorry.
00:14:13I'm glad I caught you before the holidays.
00:14:16Oh.
00:14:17Oh, wow.
00:14:20A cup of coffee for me?
00:14:22Yes, for you.
00:14:23Oh, wow.
00:14:28And for you, dear sir.
00:14:31Oh, joy.
00:14:36You're welcome.
00:14:38Big plans for Christmas?
00:14:39Uh, no.
00:14:41The usual.
00:14:42You having, um, dinner with your son?
00:14:44I'm by myself this year.
00:14:47He, uh, took a job in California.
00:14:499-4-1-2-3.
00:14:51Ah.
00:14:54Thanks for this.
00:14:55You deserve it.
00:14:56Okay.
00:15:02See ya.

00:15:44Above all, cooking should be fun.
00:15:56Gingerbread open house made by my daughter, Tori.
00:16:00I think real estate's in her future.
00:16:03You see this castle?
00:16:04Designed by her brother, Tommy.
00:16:07You see the moat?
00:16:08It's going through a privacy phase.
00:16:10And don't forget,
00:16:12when you sit down to Christmas dinner,
00:16:15try everything.
00:16:16You don't want to look back and think,
00:16:18oh, I could have eaten that.
00:16:20We'll be back with more Joy Edwards
00:16:22after these messages.
00:16:30This has been the longest week ever.
00:16:33Tell me it's Friday.
00:16:34Tell me it's not still Thursday.
00:16:38Merriman's here.
00:16:39What?
00:16:40Joy!
00:16:40Mr. Merriman!
00:16:44Oh, how wonderful to see you.
00:16:46It's been too long.
00:16:47Oh, not that long.
00:16:48Volume 11, Gooseling Easter.
00:16:51Well, many meals ago.
00:16:53You know I've always thought of you
00:16:54as the daughter I never had.
00:16:57That means so much to me.
00:17:00And I don't need to tell you,
00:17:01sales have been a little disappointing,
00:17:03but I'm happy to report
00:17:04they've been up considerably
00:17:06since you've been on the air.
00:17:08Oh, that's great.
00:17:11Actually, I've been meaning to talk to you.
00:17:14Um, I think it might be time
00:17:16to end the book series.
00:17:19Well, I had a feeling this was coming,
00:17:22and in anticipation of the inevitable,
00:17:25Merriman Publishing has made special plans
00:17:27to promote this book.
00:17:28If this is going to be your last,
00:17:30we're going out with a bang.
00:17:34Just thank you for always supporting me.
00:17:38I know.
00:17:39I imagine it's time for you to start a new chapter
00:17:42and spend more time with your family, no doubt.
00:17:49Uh, I'll save you a piece of gingerbread.
00:17:53Go.
00:17:55Break a leg.
00:17:56Okay, thank you.
00:17:58Good, 10 seconds, people.
00:18:01So don't break mine.
00:18:04It's been great having you here this week, Joy.
00:18:07Oh, has it been a week already?
00:18:10Yes, I'm afraid so.
00:18:11But before we go,
00:18:13I have a surprise for our audience.
00:18:17We're all going to Goose Lane for Christmas!
00:18:23What?
00:18:24Yes, that's right.
00:18:26Joy will be broadcasting live
00:18:27from her country home on Christmas Eve.
00:18:30Our cameras will join Max, the kids,
00:18:32and of course Joy's parents,
00:18:34the entire Edwards family,
00:18:36for their traditional Christmas Eve dinner
00:18:39with all the trimmings.
00:18:42Joy.
00:18:42Any last words before we sign off?
00:18:46My goose is cooked.
00:18:53Josh.
00:18:54Josh.
00:18:55Yeah.
00:18:55What have you done?
00:18:57It was Merriman's idea.
00:18:58He was very insistent.
00:18:59Oh, there's a little star.
00:19:01That was so good.
00:19:02You are natural.
00:19:03I will see you soon, okay?
00:19:04Okay.
00:19:05This is a nightmare.
00:19:08Or an opportunity.
00:19:11Remember when you came to me
00:19:12with that cute little family cookbook?
00:19:14Completely unmarketable.
00:19:16Why?
00:19:17Because you didn't have a family.
00:19:18I made you into a brand.
00:19:19You turned me into a liar.
00:19:21You did go along with it.
00:19:22Yeah, but I didn't think it would get this far.
00:19:25Was Colonel Sanders really a colonel?
00:19:26No.
00:19:27He was a businessman.
00:19:28Was Mrs. Fields married to Mr. Fields?
00:19:30News flashed their divorce,
00:19:31but that would sell way less cookies.
00:19:33Dr. Seuss, number one children's author of all time.
00:19:36Wasn't even a doctor,
00:19:37and he didn't have any kids.
00:19:38Which is why we don't go to their house
00:19:40for fried chicken and bedtime stories.
00:19:44Oh, God.
00:19:46Please fix this.
00:19:48I can't.
00:19:49Christmas Eve is in three days.
00:19:51That's 72 hours.
00:19:54You'll think of something.
00:19:56You are Joy Edwards.
00:19:57Oh, no.
00:20:20So, Ben.
00:20:23Hey.
00:20:26Hey.
00:20:27I found nutcrackers.
00:20:33Ice cream.
00:20:35Please.
00:20:40I was just thinking about
00:20:42when I first saw this place.
00:20:44Half a roof,
00:20:46broken windows,
00:20:47peeling paint,
00:20:49a family of geese
00:20:51on an overgrown lawn,
00:20:52and I knew
00:20:53this was it.
00:20:55this was going to be the place I called home.
00:20:58A real home.
00:21:02Now I guess I have to move to another planet.
00:21:04Whatever happens,
00:21:07you'll be through it.
00:21:09Maybe I should just call Mr. Merryman
00:21:11and get this over with.
00:21:13But you know he thinks of me as a daughter.
00:21:16Children disappoint their parents all the time.
00:21:18Oh, he's going to be crushed.
00:21:21In the publishing house.
00:21:23I mean,
00:21:24Christmas is all about book sales.
00:21:29Let's not forget about the birth of Jesus.
00:21:31Oh.
00:21:33I'm a horrible person.
00:21:35You're not.
00:21:36I invented
00:21:37a husband
00:21:39and kids
00:21:40and a chicken coop
00:21:42to sell Christmas books.
00:21:43Like,
00:21:44I don't even have a Christmas tree.
00:21:48Too bad you made me your driver.
00:21:50Could have made me your husband.
00:21:52Hmm.
00:21:56What did you just say?
00:21:58Too bad you made me your driver.
00:22:00No,
00:22:00after that.
00:22:02You could have made me your husband.
00:22:05That could work.
00:22:07What?
00:22:08Nobody saw your face.
00:22:09You had a hat on
00:22:10and sunglasses.
00:22:13That's it.
00:22:15Man,
00:22:15I just have to get through
00:22:16one dinner,
00:22:17like a couple hours.
00:22:18There's turkey,
00:22:19pie,
00:22:19and they're out the door.
00:22:20Then I can bow out gracefully.
00:22:21Mr. Merryman won't be mad at me.
00:22:23And then,
00:22:26how do I just be like
00:22:27assembling a gingerbread house
00:22:28with little people inside?
00:22:31Joy,
00:22:32now you're starting to worry me.
00:22:34I'm going to put together
00:22:35a perfect family.
00:22:36Mom,
00:22:37dad,
00:22:37kids,
00:22:38adoring husband.
00:22:39I mean,
00:22:39who wouldn't want to spend
00:22:41Christmas Eve
00:22:41pretending to be
00:22:42a fake family on TV?
00:22:44Uh,
00:22:44people with real lives.
00:22:45Opening presents
00:22:46with Tommy and Tori,
00:22:48mom and dad
00:22:48sipping eggnog
00:22:49by a roaring fireplace.
00:22:51Your fireplace doesn't work.
00:22:52I can borrow chickens,
00:22:53kids.
00:22:54Kids.
00:22:55Kids.
00:22:55How do I get kids?
00:22:58Oh,
00:22:58I'll hire actors.
00:23:00Wait,
00:23:00but what if I hire
00:23:01a mother
00:23:02who goes on to star
00:23:03in a movie
00:23:03as someone else's mother?
00:23:05Yes,
00:23:05because that's highly likely.
00:23:06No,
00:23:06it's just,
00:23:07it's got to be somebody
00:23:08I can trust
00:23:08or have something over.
00:23:14What do you have on me?
00:23:15Just tell me you'll do it.
00:23:17Be my husband.
00:23:19Is this a proposal?
00:23:21Because if it is,
00:23:22it needs work.
00:23:22Come on,
00:23:23you already have the name.
00:23:24Yeah,
00:23:25what about all the other Maxes?
00:23:26Nobody knows me like you do.
00:23:29You're the only person
00:23:30in the world
00:23:31who really gets me.
00:23:32Do we need a prenup?
00:23:33I don't if you don't.
00:23:34Can we kiss on camera?
00:23:35I suppose.
00:23:37Can we practice now?
00:23:38Let's just wing it.
00:23:41Okay,
00:23:42I'm it.
00:23:43Really?
00:23:44Yes,

00:24:35You made coffee.
00:24:36It was my day.
00:24:40Too strong.
00:24:42Again.
00:24:43Do you have a minute?
00:24:44We have a situation.
00:24:49You have a situation.
00:24:51I saw it.
00:24:53All of this phony baloney stuff,
00:24:54I knew it would catch up with you.
00:24:56I appreciate your concern,
00:24:57but I think we can get through this.
00:24:59Again, no we.
00:25:03What are you doing on Christmas Eve?
00:25:05My brother and his wife are having a party.
00:25:06You don't like your brother.
00:25:07Because he's a mooch.
00:25:08And his wife is a social climber.
00:25:09But they have an indoor pool.
00:25:10I have a better offer.
00:25:11I'm listening.
00:25:12It might not seem better at first.
00:25:13It's more of a favor.
00:25:14I want you to be my mother.
00:25:15What?
00:25:16For the show.
00:25:17One night.
00:25:18Not even a night.
00:25:19A dinner.
00:25:20Who's going to believe I'm old enough to be your mother?
00:25:22You had me when you were very young.
00:25:23And if I do this, what's in it for me?
00:25:39A raise.
00:25:40A raise won't be necessary because I'd like to retire.
00:25:46And if I do this, what's in it for me?
00:25:49because i'd like to retire oh yeah of course um yeah that's what you want with a generous
00:26:00holiday bonus and a retirement package for my years of devoted service i wouldn't have it any
00:26:06other way let's put it in writing after all these years you don't trust me i don't trust anyone but
00:26:16we're practically family in that case you can do the dishes

00:48:42Hi! Hi, Mr. Merriman
00:48:45So this is Goose Lane, huh?
00:48:47I'm surprised I've never been here
00:48:49Uh, I wasn't expecting you this early
00:48:52Nah, I should have called
00:48:54The good news is, you're featured in the Times food section tomorrow
00:48:59Wow
00:49:00So this must be Mr. Edwards
00:49:05Ah, call me Max, nobody calls me Mr. Edwards
00:49:07Oh, that was good
00:49:10Uh, will you excuse me for a minute? I'm gonna...
00:49:18Yeah
00:49:18Hey!
00:49:20Look, I apologize
00:49:22Uh, they're not usually like this
00:49:24No
00:49:25They remind me of my own family
00:49:27My kids are grown now
00:49:30But I wouldn't miss those times for anything
00:49:32Now, I know that I sprung this show on you
00:49:37But I think you're gonna do just fine
00:49:39Well, I've seen all I need to
00:49:44Are you sure you don't want to come in?
00:49:47No, my driver's out front
00:49:48I only have today to find my wife the perfect gift
00:49:50If I might offer some advice
00:49:52There is a crack in everything, Joy
00:49:56That's how the light gets in
00:49:58Merry Christmas
00:50:01Merry Christmas
00:50:03Hey, were you up all night? I saw the lights on
00:50:31I brought you some
00:50:36What's this?
00:50:39Your gallery
00:50:42You mean the Mr. Joy Edwards gallery?
00:50:45By appointment only, soon to be seen by a TV audience
00:50:49A cooking show audience
00:50:50A hungry audience
00:50:54Thank you
00:50:55I should be thanking you
00:50:56Okay
00:51:01You two are gonna have excellent on-screen chemistry
00:51:11Uh, Max, you should pick up the desserts
00:51:16Because the bakery closes early on the holiday
00:51:19Bakery by the tree lot?
00:51:21Oh
00:51:22Don't worry
00:51:24I got it
00:51:25Can I drive?
00:51:26I have my permit
00:51:27Show it to me
00:51:29Never drive before?
00:51:36Whenever his parents are out of town
00:51:38I'm good
00:51:39They just never let me
00:51:41Let's go, kid
00:51:44Create some recipes and start some tradition
00:51:51You'll find your meals and your life improving
00:51:53Who said that?
00:51:54You did
00:51:55Volume one
00:51:56Wow
00:51:57You memorized that?
00:52:01You know, you're like the only person who wasn't being paid to be with me
00:52:04Oh, that can't be true
00:52:06My parents are always with clients
00:52:08They FaceTime me every morning to tell me they love me
00:52:10But they're never around
00:52:12Well, of course they love you
00:52:14How could they not?
00:52:15You're an amazing young lady
00:52:17Really?
00:52:18Yeah
00:52:19If I had a daughter
00:52:20I'd want her to be just like you
00:52:23Oh
00:52:24Let's get in and out
00:52:44Because I want to drive
00:52:45Uh, well, let's get the food home first
00:52:48And then I'll find a parking lot
00:52:49And you can drive around
00:52:49That's not driving
00:52:51Well, it's all the time I have
00:52:53I sound like my dad
00:52:54Hey, hey, come here
00:53:06I'm gonna drive home
00:53:07Deal?
00:53:09Deal
00:53:10All right, kid
00:53:20What are you doing?
00:53:22Sorry
00:53:23Uh
00:53:24It's already ordered
00:53:29Two pies
00:53:30Cake
00:53:31And a yule walk
00:53:32Yeah, I know that
00:53:34You've got it
00:53:35Let's go get it
00:53:35No
00:53:38Why not?
00:53:42Just
00:53:43There's someone in there
00:53:45I don't want to see
00:53:45Okay
00:53:46Who?
00:53:47Oh, it's your girlfriend, isn't it?
00:53:51No
00:53:51Yeah
00:53:52Well, who could it be?
00:53:53It's a girl
00:53:54It's a girl
00:53:55It's a girl
00:53:55She
00:53:57Remember when it said stay in your own lane?
00:54:00This is the time
00:54:01Stay in your own lane
00:54:02Or you lose driving privileges, okay?
00:54:05So you can go get that food
00:54:06I'll stick you in the parking lot
00:54:09All right?
00:54:09Go just
00:54:09Go get the food
00:54:11What are you chatting, kid?
00:54:28Come on
00:54:29Shut her up
00:54:31Got it

00:55:15Okay

00:55:17Falls in the fire or something
00:55:19Okay
00:55:23Okay

01:00:07It doesn't get any fresher than this
01:00:09The secret to my turkey
01:00:17Brining
01:00:18I do it for two days
01:00:20Oh
01:00:21Wow

01:00:30Max is the guinea pig for all my recipes
01:00:33Oh
01:00:34And I'm still alive
01:00:35As long as you don't mess up cutting the turkey
01:00:38You two are just like newlyweds
01:00:40It's like we were married yesterday
01:00:42Um
01:00:44Why don't we go meet the rest of the family?
01:00:51And this
01:00:53Is
01:00:54Tommy and Tori
01:00:56A pleasure to be on the show, Liza
01:00:59I'm a big fan
01:01:00Thank you, Tori
01:01:01Tommy, how old are you?
01:01:03Thirteen
01:01:03Really?
01:01:05I grew four inches last week
01:01:06Month
01:01:07Year
01:01:08And of course
01:01:09What would Christmas be without Mom and Dad?
01:01:13From what I've read you two live close?
01:01:1706831
01:01:17Uh, Dad's always been very fascinated with zip codes
01:01:22And I still married him anyway
01:01:24Well, nothing moves the male quicker
01:01:26Especially around Christmas time
01:01:28That's enough, dear
01:01:29Oh, wow
01:01:33My husband painted everything here
01:01:36Now this one I love
01:01:40Thank you
01:01:41Max Stranlin?
01:01:44Oh, that's his maiden name
01:01:46I would love one of these in my home
01:01:48You can have one
01:01:50Everything here is for sale
01:01:51Well, except the one over the mantle
01:01:53Max painted that one for me
01:01:55I'll paint you another one
01:01:56Look, anything you like
01:01:58If you see it, I'll take it off the wall
01:02:00And put it right in your car
01:02:01Right now
01:02:02Joy, your earrings are gorgeous
01:02:06Oh, thank you
01:02:08You know, they get so heavy
01:02:10I need a break
01:02:10Oh, I get it
01:02:11So, this is my favorite part
01:02:14We open presents on Christmas morning
01:02:18But it's a long-standing tradition
01:02:21That we exchange handmade gifts on Christmas Eve
01:02:25That is beautiful
01:02:26Can I help?
01:02:28Yes, please
01:02:29Thank you
01:02:30Wow
01:02:33A hand-knit scarf?
01:02:41Same here

01:02:45Just what he needs for those long neighborhood wives
01:02:50Yeah, well, maybe he'll come with me next time, dear
01:02:53Nice beanie
01:02:55All my favorite recipes
01:03:00All right
01:03:03Antique paintbrushes
01:03:08Okay, I didn't make them
01:03:10But I saw them and I thought of you
01:03:12I love them
01:03:13You haven't opened your stocking yet, Joy
01:03:18Yeah, open it
01:03:20See what they got you
01:03:21Okay
01:03:22Oh, a chopstick holder
01:03:28It's just what I wanted
01:03:30Whoa, hey, hey, hey
01:03:33Wait a second, son
01:03:35Interesting gift
01:03:37Sorry, Mom
01:03:39We were just messing with you
01:03:40Since you're always honest about laundry
01:03:42Yeah, you're naughty and nice, you know
01:03:45Dad's kids for you
01:03:46You guys are the best parents I've ever had
01:03:49Expecting company?
01:03:56It's a little early for Santa
01:03:58I got it
01:04:07Oh, no, no, no
01:04:08Let me
01:04:09Why don't you take everyone to the table?
01:04:13Okay, who's hungry?
01:04:16I know I am
01:04:16Okay
01:04:17Well, you know
01:04:22It's probably that neighbor bringing some holiday cheer
01:04:25Are you Max's wife?
01:04:55Ah, it is so sweet of you to stop by
01:04:59As one woman to another, I should tell you
01:05:01He's come to the bakery several times without his wedding ring
01:05:04What's in a ring?
01:05:06Five golden rings
01:05:08He also lied about your son
01:05:10Said he was a neighbor's kid
01:05:11Uh, didn't you hear what I'm saying?
01:05:22Um, your husband
01:05:23And what better time for forgiveness than Christmas?
01:05:27We deserve each other
01:05:31Oh, thank you
01:05:32Thanks again for the poinsettia
01:05:38Ginger
01:05:40She joining us?
01:05:49No, she's vegan
01:05:51She's done it again
01:05:55Joy Edwards, this looks beautiful
01:05:58Oh, thank you
01:06:00And while it looks like a lot of work was put into this
01:06:06It was
01:06:07The truth is
01:06:11It doesn't matter how or where we celebrate the holiday
01:06:15We could be sitting on lawn furniture eating takeout
01:06:20The important thing is that we're all together
01:06:24Merry Christmas from the Edwards family
01:06:28Merry Christmas
01:06:30Merry Christmas
01:06:30Yes
01:06:32There we go
01:06:35I have no idea what you're missing out on
01:06:41Oh, here, I don't know
01:06:41Thank you
01:06:44With love
01:06:46It's your specialty
01:06:48Hey
01:06:49Have I ever told you guys about the first Christmas I spent with your mom?
01:06:54I don't think so
01:06:55I'm sure you have
01:06:56I've never heard it
01:06:57No, no
01:06:57Me neither
01:06:58You've heard it
01:06:59No, never
01:06:59Dad, tell us
01:07:00Look, inquiring minds want to know
01:07:02Don't you?
01:07:03Don't you?
01:07:04Yeah
01:07:04I do
01:07:05Listen
01:07:08It was winter night
01:07:10Just like this one
01:07:12Snow's falling down
01:07:15I'm walking down the sidewalk
01:07:20Then I saw her
01:07:22She's coming my way
01:07:24Hideous
01:07:26Christmas sweater
01:07:27Reindeer clips
01:07:28Up in her hair
01:07:30But I'll tell you
01:07:32She was so beautiful
01:07:35The first ten seconds I knew
01:07:40That she was going to be in my life
01:07:42Forever
01:07:43But you never told me that
01:07:46Yeah, you know us artists
01:07:49An eye for detail
01:07:50Besides
01:07:54You're pretty hard to forget
01:07:57How touching
01:08:03Can you pass the yams?
01:08:06So we have a pumpkin pie
01:08:13A Dutch apple
01:08:15A Christmas cake
01:08:16And my signature
01:08:19Yule log
01:08:20Oh
01:08:21I got it
01:08:38I got it
01:08:39I'm sorry, Mom
01:08:47That's our comics
01:08:49And yes, that is a ping pong table
01:08:53Because who doesn't love a DIY project?
01:08:57That's right
01:08:57Nothing goes to waste here, Who's Lane
01:09:01We preached that
01:09:03To Tori
01:09:05You remember that song
01:09:06You were singing earlier?
01:09:09We wish you a merry Christmas
01:09:11We wish you a merry Christmas
01:09:13We wish you a merry Christmas
01:09:15And a happy new year
01:09:18So it is
01:09:20Sabrina?
01:09:22Henry?
01:09:22Mom, you're supposed to be skiing
01:09:23Your father twisted his ankle
01:09:25Is that Frederick our mail yet?
01:09:29I've taken early retirement
01:09:31Okay
01:09:32You're coming with me
01:09:33Now
01:09:34Kill the cameras
01:09:35I'm sorry, I can't
01:09:36We're live
01:09:37Keep the cameras rolling, fellas
01:09:39This is TV gold
01:09:40Uh, like so many of you out there
01:09:45We are a blended family
01:09:47Tommy and Tori have two sets of parents
01:09:51So that means it's double Christmases
01:09:54And what could be better than that?
01:09:57Okay
01:09:57Um, I don't know what's going on here
01:10:01But, um, it's over
01:10:03Come with me
01:10:06My name is Sabrina Swinton
01:10:10And I'm currently seeking representation
01:10:12Sabrina!
01:10:17I'm sorry, Joy
01:10:18Me too, honey
01:10:21I gave it a shot
01:10:23I'll, uh, I'll be by tomorrow
01:10:28To pick up my check
01:10:29Bye, Mom
01:10:32Bye, Dad
01:10:33Thanks for coming
01:10:35Yeah, well
01:10:38Empty nest syndrome
01:10:40I mean, we knew it was gonna happen
01:10:41Just not so soon
01:10:42Joy
01:10:45We tried
01:10:47It's over
01:10:47Not until we dig into that yule log
01:10:52Excuse me
01:10:56Gotta love live TV
01:10:59Joy
01:11:02I know this is probably the worst time for this
01:11:05But the water damage in my loft
01:11:09It's been fixed for weeks
01:11:12Yeah
01:11:15I'm still here because
01:11:17I don't want to be your friend
01:11:20I don't want any more first dates or last dates
01:11:24I know who I want to be with
01:11:27Max
01:11:34Please, just not now
01:11:36Why not now?
01:11:39What are we waiting for?
01:11:42You told me
01:11:44Not to settle for second best
01:11:45I love you
01:11:46Joy
01:11:47I always have
01:11:49I always will
01:11:50You just say the word
01:11:52And we'll go back out there together
01:11:56Joy
01:12:01Joy
01:12:05Joy
01:12:05Okay
01:12:18Okay
01:12:18Let's go
01:12:48Hello. Hi. So, who wants dessert?
01:13:16Could you give me one minute?
01:13:18Of course.
01:13:20One minute.
01:13:22Bill, are you getting all of this?
01:13:25Max!
01:13:26Max!
01:13:27Max!
01:13:30Max!
01:13:48Max!
01:13:49Max!
01:13:50Max!
01:13:51Max!
01:13:52Max!
01:13:53Max!
01:13:54Max!
01:13:55Max!
01:13:56Max!
01:13:57Max!
01:13:58Max!
01:13:59Max!
01:14:00Max!
01:14:01Max!
01:14:02Max!
01:14:03Max!
01:14:04Max!
01:14:05Max!
01:14:06Max!
01:14:07Max!
01:14:10you know.
01:14:13I guess it's obvious by now that
01:14:15I guess it's obvious by now that those weren't my kids or my parents.
01:14:35Max isn't my husband.
01:14:39The sounds you heard from the hen house, you too.
01:14:44The eggs are from the market, the plants from the nursery, the pies from the bakery.
01:14:50Even the name Goose Lane is a lie.
01:14:53There has not been a goose here since I moved in.
01:14:59Everything you saw here tonight was fake.
01:15:04Most of all, me.
01:15:08The truth is, I've never had a family.
01:15:10I don't even know what one is.
01:15:12At least I didn't until these last few days.
01:15:21I'm sorry for pretending to be someone I'm not.
01:15:29The real Joy Edwards, me, is a fraud, is a mess, and alone.
01:15:46Happy Holidays from Goose Lane.
01:15:55That's a wrap.
01:15:59I'm sorry, Joy.
01:16:04I don't know.
01:16:05Say it.
01:16:09All right, I don't care you guys.
01:16:11It looked like I want to read.
01:16:13No, no.
01:16:14Wait, wait.
01:16:15I thought I parl't the other way.
01:16:17Wait, where's my phone?
01:16:31Come on.
01:16:35Oh, here it is.
01:16:38Okay.
01:16:38Please, please, please, please, please.
01:16:47Please, please, please.
01:17:17Please, please, please.
01:17:47Hey, I'm in here.
01:17:54Merry Christmas.
01:17:57What are you two doing here?
01:17:59Well, you didn't think I was going to leave you with all this mess.
01:18:03Special delivery.
01:18:05On Christmas Day?
01:18:07Yeah, well, I know people.
01:18:13Oh.
01:18:17You guys, thank you.
01:18:19Oh, thank you.
01:18:22For giving us a family at Christmas so we wouldn't have to be alone.
01:18:26I know that I complain every now and then, but I consider myself lucky to have worked all these years with someone I consider a daughter.
01:18:39Oh, Marta.
01:18:40Even though I am way too young to be your mother.
01:18:42Oh, Marta.
01:18:44Oh, and I have not forgotten about your retirement package.
01:18:50Oh, no rush.
01:18:52I'll be traveling.
01:18:54Really?
01:18:55Mm-hmm.
01:18:55Freddie and I are going to be wintering in the 33427 area.
01:19:05That's Boca Raton.
01:19:07Uh, Marta has a timeshare.
01:19:09Whoa, wait.
01:19:10A timeshare?
01:19:11Honey, you've been overpaying me for years.
01:19:14Well, I'm glad something good came out of all this.
01:19:18Oh, God.
01:19:19Okay.
01:19:19What?
01:19:20You pull yourself together.
01:19:22Go get the door.
01:19:24I got the dishes.
01:19:25Mm-hmm.
01:19:28All dry.
01:19:35Merry Christmas, Miss Edwards.
01:19:37Oh, we're way past Miss Edwards, Sabrina.
01:19:41And I owe you a huge apology, Grace.
01:19:45No, I actually owe you an apology, Joy.
01:19:48We've been so wrapped up in work,
01:19:50it took seeing you with the kids to realize that
01:19:53they need parents who are going to be there,
01:19:56and that's exactly what we're going to be from now on.
01:19:59So thank you.
01:20:03Um, do you want to come in for some leftovers?
01:20:05Oh, another time?
01:20:07Sabrina and I are going to make gingerbread houses today.
01:20:09And we're going to make all the recipes you gave me, too.
01:20:12And my dad's going to take me for a driving lesson.
01:20:15Oh, it sounds like the perfect Christmas.
01:20:17Yeah.
01:20:18You have a great Christmas, too.
01:20:22Bye-bye.
01:20:23Bye.
01:20:23Bye.
01:20:23Max, hey, it's me.
01:20:40It's like my tenth call before noon.
01:20:43Um, call me back.
01:20:45Okay, bye.
01:20:46Bye.
01:20:46Bye.
01:20:46Bye.
01:20:46Bye.
01:20:47Bye.
01:20:47Bye.
01:20:47Bye.
01:20:53Max.
01:21:00Max!
01:21:01Max!
01:21:04Mr. Merriman.
01:21:06I, uh, think we should probably talk.
01:21:09Don't you?
01:21:13Look, before you say anything,
01:21:15I just want to tell you how sorry I am
01:21:17for ruining your Christmas
01:21:18and possibly your whole company.
01:21:21I'm going to make a statement
01:21:23saying you knew nothing about this.
01:21:25I really didn't mean to lie.
01:21:28It just snowballed,
01:21:29and I didn't know how to stop it.
01:21:31I know.
01:21:33I've known since the beginning, dear.
01:21:36We vet all our authors.
01:21:38It's just part of business.
01:21:39I've always gone with my guts.
01:21:42When you first came to me with that book,
01:21:45so original, so full of promise,
01:21:48I saw something in you.
01:21:50How could I turn that down?
01:21:53I'm guessing you wish you had now.
01:21:58Your books are about family and togetherness.
01:22:02That message means something,
01:22:03whether you have one or not.
01:22:06I've watched you all these years,
01:22:08hoping you'd find real love along the way.
01:22:11I thought, doing this show,
01:22:13maybe you'd see what you were missing.
01:22:16So you risked embarrassing
01:22:18the whole publishing house for me?
01:22:20Everything's a risk in this business,
01:22:22and in life.
01:22:23That's what makes it so rewarding.
01:22:26I don't know what to say, Mr. Merriman.
01:22:30Well, I do.
01:22:32Online sales went through the roof last night.
01:22:35The viewers loved you.
01:22:37Because you're not perfect.
01:22:40You're on the other side of perfect,
01:22:41just like the rest of us.
01:22:46And if you feel like writing
01:22:48this next chapter,
01:22:51Merriman Publishing would be happy
01:22:53and honored to publish it.
01:22:55No need to make the decision now.
01:22:58I'm guessing you have a few things to sort out.
01:23:03It might be too late for that.
01:23:04No, it's never too late.
01:23:06Especially on Christmas.
01:23:12Well, I'm due for some Christmas caroling,
01:23:16although I have the worst voice in the family.
01:23:18Oh, wait.
01:23:21Before I forget.
01:23:28For you.
01:23:30They're bookmarks.
01:23:38Handmade tassel.
01:23:39Metallic and cotton embroidery.
01:23:41Volume three.
01:23:42Volume three.
01:23:47I'll treasure them.
01:23:48Merry Christmas.
01:23:57You too, Joy.
01:24:03Bye.
01:24:04You answered.
01:24:28Yeah, sorry.
01:24:30I've been trying to think of what to say.
01:24:31I'll be able to clear out my paintings
01:24:34in just a little bit.
01:24:35Where are you?
01:24:37Out back.
01:24:42Max?
01:24:43Down here.
01:24:46The one above the fireplace is yours.
01:24:49I told the Manfred Gallery,
01:24:51it's not for sale.
01:24:53Wait, the Manfred Gallery?
01:24:56Isn't that...
01:24:56The best gallery in New York.
01:24:58Oh, my God.
01:25:00Wait, they're taking you.
01:25:01That's amazing.
01:25:02Apparently, Manfred's a foodie.
01:25:05He saw the show,
01:25:06and he's given me a window,
01:25:07and he even bought one for himself.
01:25:09Oh, my God.
01:25:11Oh, that's so good.
01:25:16It's because of you.
01:25:18And, uh...
01:25:20You're a great friend, you know?
01:25:23What's wrong with...
01:25:25being great friends, right?
01:25:27We'll get coffee.
01:25:29No, I don't want to get coffee.
01:25:31And I can't be your friend.
01:25:33And all that stuff I said before,
01:25:36and mostly what I didn't say...
01:25:38The first ten seconds when I saw you walking down the sidewalk,
01:25:44I thought,
01:25:45hmm, now there's someone who could break my heart.
01:25:49So I just kept walking.
01:25:52Right?
01:25:53I didn't name my fake husband after the guy in The Exorcist.
01:25:56I named him after you.
01:25:57Because it's the only time
01:26:02that I've ever let myself picture a future with someone.
01:26:06It's been with you.
01:26:09I love you.
01:26:12I always have,
01:26:13and I always will, and...
01:26:14And...
