Short filmTranscript
00:00:00I should have seen the amount of Christmas trees they have decorated inside this house.
00:00:12I didn't believe it.
00:00:13So, I'm walking home from this holiday party and all of a sudden my feet start feeling weird.
00:00:19Like, these aren't my shoes, weird.
00:00:22And guess what?
00:00:23Oh, uh, they weren't your shoes.
00:00:25They weren't my shoes.
00:00:27I mean, it was quite the conundrum.
00:00:29One might even say it was a full conundrum.
00:00:34You might be thinking, how'd you leave a holiday party with someone else's shoes?
00:00:39No.
00:00:40That's what I said when I saw the guy who took my shoes.
00:00:44He was not very apologetic.
00:00:46Oh, come on.
00:00:47I thought the same thing.
00:00:49No!
00:00:50Yes, it's true.
00:00:51Oh.
00:00:53Yes!
00:00:56Oh, Morgan.
00:00:58Huh?
00:00:58Are you listening?
00:01:01No, I'm sorry.
00:01:01I got distracted.
00:01:02I, the game's on.
00:01:03I'm a big Bills fan.
00:01:05Ah.
00:01:05Yeah.
00:01:05I'm more of a soccer guy than a football guy.
00:01:08Yeah.
00:01:08I figured.
00:01:09Since this is the only night you want to meet up.
00:01:13Yes!
00:01:13Oh, that's what I'm talking about!
00:01:16Bills, mom, fiance, the everybody eats!
00:01:18Oh, that's what I'm talking about!
00:01:21Oh, that's what I'm talking about!
00:01:22Oh, yeah!
00:01:24Yeah!
00:01:25Yeah!
00:01:26Oh, that was amazing!
00:01:30Like I said, I'm a big Bills fan!
00:01:33Morgan, I, uh, I gotta be honest.
00:01:35I don't think there's much of a connection here.
00:01:38Really?
00:01:38Yeah.
00:01:40Merry Christmas.
00:01:42Okay.
00:01:44Merry Christmas!
00:01:45Merry Christmas!
00:01:57Have you ever met that guy?
00:01:59Go there, Les.
00:02:02It's on the house.
00:02:04Merry Christmas.
00:02:05Go Bills.
00:02:06Go Bills.
00:02:07Go Bills!
00:02:08Let's go!
00:02:11Hello, Buffalo.
00:02:12Steve Tasker here, along with Chris Brown.
00:02:14Looks like it's gonna be another beautiful week here in the Queen City.
00:02:17It's a balmy eight degrees out there.
00:02:20Too cold for them?
00:02:21Just right for us.
00:02:22How about that win this weekend?
00:02:24Incredible.
00:02:25The Bills were taking no prisoners.
00:02:27Fortunately, their inspiring come-from-behind victory
00:02:29gives indication that they are back on track.
00:02:32A win like that really puts me in the holiday spirit.
00:02:35Just in time, too.
00:02:36We're officially three weeks away from Christmas.
00:02:39And three weeks away from the last holiday game at Highmark.
00:02:42Yes, indeed.
00:02:43Next year, Santa's bringing the Bills a shiny new stadium.
00:02:46This thing looks beautiful going up.
00:02:48You think Santa's a believer, Chris?
00:02:51Oh, I have no doubt.
00:02:52These next three weeks are gonna fly by,
00:02:54so make sure you don't leave your Christmas shopping till the last minute.
00:02:57Couldn't agree more, Steve.
00:02:58Let's get you into the holiday spirit with this oldie but goodie.
00:03:01Snow is snowing, wind is blowing.
00:03:08I can weather the storm.
00:03:14What do I care how much it may storm?
00:03:19I've got my love to keep me warm.
00:03:26Hello?
00:03:34Wow, I didn't think we'd be seeing you today.
00:03:36The hospital gave me the next two days off,
00:03:37so I thought I'd stop by and help with the great rest of the day.
00:03:40Oh, peanut stick.
00:03:41Uh-uh-uh, none for you.
00:03:42Uh, cholesterol, remember.
00:03:44Morning.
00:03:44Mm.
00:03:45Bargain!
00:03:46What a pleasant surprise.
00:03:48Hey, go, Tommy.
00:03:48Ooh, peanut stick.
00:03:50See?
00:03:51Now that's just plain cruel.
00:03:53Frank, you're right.
00:03:54We'll kill me if I let you have one of these.
00:03:55Speaking of which, where's Ricky?
00:03:57She's over at our place, getting the inflatable snowman.
00:04:00And have you seen this weather report?
00:04:02It's gonna be nine degrees at seven and seven degrees at night.
00:04:05That's the way we like it.
00:04:06Morning.
00:04:07Morgan, what are you doing here?
00:04:09Hello, do you do, Mom?
00:04:10She's got the day off.
00:04:11Oh, do you have the day off?
00:04:13Because you're supposed to be helping us decorate.
00:04:15Can't a man have his coffee in peace?
00:04:17Yes, you can when you're at your house, and when you're at my house, we are decorating.
00:04:22Oh, here she is now.
00:04:24The mouth that roars.
00:04:25All right, I got it.
00:04:27I got him.
00:04:27I found him.
00:04:28I've got our snowman.
00:04:29Perfect.
00:04:30So should we set him up closer to my side of the yard or closer to your side of the yard?
00:04:35Well, last year he was on our side, so I think we should put him on your side.
00:04:37Good.
00:04:37I don't understand why it has to be a different display every year.
00:04:42Ignore my brother.
00:04:43He has no idea about the intricacies that go into the planning of the holiday tailgating.
00:04:48Oh, come on, Tommy.
00:04:49You know, the neighborhood has come to expect a certain standard from our joint front yard
00:04:53light display.
00:04:54Ooh, peanut sticks.
00:04:57Ah, so help me, Frank, if you have one of those.
00:04:59I didn't have anything.
00:05:00Okay.
00:05:00Oh, there you are.
00:05:01Do you have the wings?
00:05:03Yes.
00:05:03I have the wings.
00:05:04Oh.
00:05:04So your sister knows you're coming over, but you can't be bothered to let your mother know?
00:05:09Or let your mom's next-door neighbor know.
00:05:11I wrote it in the group chat.
00:05:13Oh, nobody reads that except me.
00:05:15These things need heat.
00:05:16Where's the hot sauce?
00:05:17I just want to point out that there's really no scientific evidence linking hot sauce to
00:05:20inducing labor.
00:05:21Jenny Rotolo ate wings every day for a month.
00:05:23She had her baby in the exact day she wanted.
00:05:25Oh, well, Jenny Rotolo did it.
00:05:26Well, I don't have a lot of options, Morgan.
00:05:28She's worried she's going to miss the holiday family photo.
00:05:30Yes, babe, I'm very worried.
00:05:32It's the Bill's last home game before Christmas, and we have a tradition.
00:05:35I know, of taking a photo with the DeLucas inside the stadium.
00:05:38No.
00:05:38Yes, but next year, there's going to be a new Heimlich Stadium, so this is our very
00:05:42last chance to take our family photo in the old stadium on game day.
00:05:46It's the end of a new year.
00:05:48Yeah, we've been taking that picture with each other for, what, like 20 years?
00:05:51More like 30.
00:05:52It was the Christmas after your dad died.
00:05:56Going to the game and taking that photo.
00:05:59Oh, Mom.
00:06:00No, I know.
00:06:01Oh, it felt like the first time in a really long time that, you know, we were having fun.
00:06:10Exactly.
00:06:11So I am not missing that game, and I am not missing that photo, and I am not missing the
00:06:16holiday tailgate party, okay?
00:06:18Now, where is my hot socks?
00:06:19Yep.
00:06:20Do you hear me?
00:06:20We're on the clock.
00:06:21Let's go.
00:06:21Hello.
00:06:22Hey, Gabe.
00:06:23Oh, everyone's in the kitchen.
00:06:24Hey, about to get the day off.
00:06:26See, someone with the group chat.
00:06:27Gabe doesn't count.
00:06:28He's too responsible to silence messages.
00:06:30The cafe.
00:06:31Hey, Gabe.
00:06:31Favorite son.
00:06:32Do me a favor.
00:06:33Help your mom inflate that giant snowman cliff.
00:06:36Hey, that was a nice try, but he is going to go get the tree, and you are on snowman duty.
00:06:40So, up, up, up, up, up, up.
00:06:42I'll help you, Frank.
00:06:43Gabe, you have all my requirements for the perfect front yard tree, right?
00:06:46Oh, yes.
00:06:47The file was so large, it crashed my computer.
00:06:49Okay, remember, we want it really full.
00:06:51Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, not too full, because then it's harder to decorate.
00:06:54Well, on the leaner side?
00:06:56No, no, not lean, because then it's bare, and that'll make people very sad.
00:06:59Oh, the most important thing is that it's tall.
00:07:01Okay, tall, happy tree.
00:07:03No, no, no, no, no.
00:07:03We don't want it too tall, because we've got to be able to reach the top.
00:07:05No, guys, guys, Gabe got this.
00:07:07Woo!
00:07:07He's a wrap at the store.
00:07:09Gabe's got this.
00:07:11Any interest in joining me, or do you want to stay here and do this?
00:07:14So, what do you think, kids?
00:07:16If I use this Buffalo Bill bubble gum as a stocking shop for, you know, for the tailgate party.
00:07:21Wait, are those from the packs that Mom gave you?
00:07:24Oh, yeah.
00:07:24In the 80s?
00:07:25Oh, Uncle Tommy, no.
00:07:27Listen, this bubble gum.
00:07:28It's not bad.
00:07:29No, bubble gum is chemicals, so it doesn't expire.
00:07:32It's just chemical chewing gum.
00:07:34Ed?
00:07:34No, no, no, we're not.
00:07:35No, just throw that in there.
00:07:36No, we're not doing it.
00:07:37Bye, Mom.
00:07:38Love you.
00:07:38I'm chewing it.
00:07:39I tested it.
00:07:40We're fine.
00:07:40Yeah.
00:07:40Oh, can I please have a baby reindeer for Christmas?
00:07:58No, I'm serious.
00:08:00Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:08:03These reindeer have to stay at the North Pole.
00:08:06Candy cane.
00:08:07Oh, thank you, Santa.
00:08:09Merry Christmas.
00:08:10Merry Christmas.
00:08:10Merry Christmas.
00:08:13It's good seeing you.
00:08:16Okay, time to go home.
00:08:19Is it me, or does your mom's list of Christmas tree requirements get longer every year?
00:08:25Tell me about it.
00:08:26I think it all started when my dad went rogue that one year and bought a fake tree.
00:08:30I remember that.
00:08:31I don't think I've seen our moms more united than when they scolded a grown man over fake foliage.
00:08:37You know, you were missed last Sunday.
00:08:38It's just not really the same watching a Bills game without you.
00:08:42But Tommy told me that you, uh, had a date?
00:08:46Don't remind me.
00:08:48That good, huh?
00:08:49There were so many red flags.
00:08:51He doesn't like the cold.
00:08:53He chooses a game night for a date.
00:08:54And he described the botanical gardens as paying to see plants.
00:08:59It's a bad date.
00:09:00It's not really a flower guy, huh?
00:09:01Not a flower guy.
00:09:02Not a flower guy.
00:09:03Not a flower guy.
00:09:03Not an outdoors guy.
00:09:04Not a sports guy.
00:09:05It's just everything you love.
00:09:07You know, honestly, there's more than that.
00:09:08It's like the conversation just wasn't there, you know?
00:09:11Yeah.
00:09:11I would have much rather been watching with you guys last weekend.
00:09:13And instead, I'm at this excruciating hour with someone who clearly doesn't like that I'm loud.
00:09:18Or that I jump on tears when my team scores.
00:09:20Big six in the third quarter.
00:09:21You know it.
00:09:21Oh, man.
00:09:22That was happening.
00:09:23You get it.
00:09:23I do.
00:09:24Yeah, I do.
00:09:24I, uh...
00:09:26Me up?
00:09:27Yeah, I really do.
00:09:31That's a lot of messages.
00:09:33Yeah.
00:09:34I'll give you one guess who it is.
00:09:37Stop.
00:09:38Sweetie, ignore Joanne.
00:09:40We want full.
00:09:42I actually scratched that.
00:09:43She's right.
00:09:43Lean might be better.
00:09:45And please, nothing sad.
00:09:46Of course.
00:09:47Also, make sure the bristles aren't too bristly, Mom.
00:09:50Not too bristly.
00:09:51They're trees.
00:09:51They're bristly.
00:09:52Put your phone down.
00:09:53What does that even mean?
00:09:54Close your eyes.
00:09:57Why?
00:09:58Because all these trees are great.
00:09:59Just got to get out of your head and make a decision when you aren't.
00:10:03Closing my eyes is going to help me with that.
00:10:04Trust me.
00:10:05Close.
00:10:07Point your arm out.
00:10:09Spin around.
00:10:11Seriously?
00:10:13Seriously.
00:10:14All right.
00:10:15All right.
00:10:15Okay.
00:10:21You're right.
00:10:24You're right.
00:10:25You're right.
00:10:28Got it.
00:10:30There it is.
00:10:32It's the perfect tree.
00:10:35Right there.
00:10:36Yeah.
00:10:37Don't you?
00:10:38That's how I leave.
00:10:40That's how I appreciate it.
00:10:41Morgan.
00:10:42Hey.
00:10:43How you doing?
00:10:44I'm surprised a workaholic isn't working weekends.
00:10:46Well, Morgan took the day off.
00:10:48Not her.
00:10:48You.
00:10:49Trisha's right.
00:10:50Mr. VP of Stadium Development.
00:10:51We barely see you these days.
00:10:53I still cannot believe you're in charge of building the new stadium.
00:10:56Well, I'm working with an incredible team.
00:10:59Do not sell yourself short, Gabe.
00:11:01It's a very big deal.
00:11:02Don't tell me.
00:11:05Hmm.
00:11:05Yeah.
00:11:07Why hasn't my son answered my tree text?
00:11:10I'll handle this.
00:11:12Hey, Ricky.
00:11:14Do you want me to describe the sense of the trees?
00:11:17That's no problem.
00:11:19Uh-huh.
00:11:20So, with this new promotion, how soon can you get me in a room with Josh Allen?
00:11:24Yeah, that's not gonna happen.
00:11:26Yeah, but you could.
00:11:27I'm not gonna ask for favors at work.
00:11:29I like to keep my head down, just do my job.
00:11:30A.K.A., you don't put yourself out there, you play it, say...
00:11:33Classic anxious-avoidant mentality.
00:11:36You listen to one podcast, and suddenly you're Sigmund Freud.
00:11:38Who?
00:11:40Anyway, this fear-based mindset, probably why you never told Morgan how you feel.
00:11:45What do you mean?
00:11:46That's... I don't know what you're talking about.
00:11:49Come on.
00:11:49Everyone knows you're, like, straight up in love with Morgan.
00:11:51That's not even...
00:11:53What? That's...
00:11:54What do you mean everyone?
00:11:55Yeah!
00:11:56You know how the Bills almost always almost win?
00:12:00Yeah.
00:12:00Yeah, well, we spend our lives watching you almost always almost tell Morgan how you feel.
00:12:04Does she know?
00:12:05Oh, not at all.
00:12:06She's more of a dismissive avoidant.
00:12:09Hey, I know things.
00:12:10Would it be so bad if she did know?
00:12:13I mean, why haven't you just told her?
00:12:14Well, it's because he's scared.
00:12:15I'm not scared.
00:12:17I... I... just... it was never the right time.
00:12:19And we weren't single at the same time, and then she moved away from med school, and then residency.
00:12:24And I was always focused on my career.
00:12:25And now you're both settled into your careers.
00:12:27You guys are both single.
00:12:28Well, the timing's pressure.
00:12:29You just gotta put yourself out there, buddy.
00:12:31Mm-hmm.
00:12:32Yeah, you just...
00:12:32You're wearing a small office, too.
00:12:33That's why we went with a Virginia pie.
00:12:35Oh, that's not a Virginia pie.
00:12:37No, no, no.
00:12:37We're gonna see you later.
00:12:38Uh-huh.
00:12:39Bye-bye.
00:12:40Oh.
00:12:41Your mom has successfully been calmed down.
00:12:43What are we talking about?
00:12:46Seasonal allergies.
00:12:48Mm.
00:12:48And how there's been an uptick.
00:12:50It's very serious.
00:12:51Phew.
00:12:52You see?
00:12:52Tills this season.
00:12:53Sorry.
00:13:00You okay?
00:13:02Quiet on the drive.
00:13:04Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:13:05No.
00:13:05I was just quiet.
00:13:07Because I, uh...
00:13:09Because?
00:13:09I was thinking about Christmas and how much I love Christmas.
00:13:17Yeah.
00:13:18Yeah, okay then.
00:13:19Yeah.
00:13:20Okay.
00:13:20It's a great holiday.
00:13:21Hmm.
00:13:25You know what?
00:13:25Uh, Morgan, before you go in, I just...
00:13:28I was saying that I have to...
00:13:29Oh, that's a nice treat.
00:13:31You two make a good team.
00:13:33Oh, thanks to us.
00:13:34Hey, where is everybody?
00:13:35I thought that I'll be outside decorating.
00:13:36Well, the box Ricky found was actually inflatable leprechauns for St. Paddy's Day.
00:13:41So two hours of combing through the attic later, I think this is a correct one.
00:13:45I was just walking over to let everyone know.
00:13:48I also found this.
00:13:49It's addressed to Tommy.
00:13:51It's weird.
00:13:52What?
00:13:52He doesn't say that it's from.
00:13:54Well, I'm not a mailman.
00:13:59Bye, Dad.
00:14:02Oh.
00:14:04Look at that.
00:14:06Oh.
00:14:08Another gift for the collection.
00:14:11The collection?
00:14:12Wait, these were gifts?
00:14:14You just assumed you bought them.
00:14:15No.
00:14:17Every year, like clockwork, someone sends me an ornament.
00:14:22Well, who's sending them?
00:14:24Santa Claus.
00:14:25Uncle Tommy.
00:14:26Yeah, come on.
00:14:27Well, honestly, I have no idea.
00:14:30You don't know.
00:14:32How long has this been going on?
00:14:35About 54, 55 years.
00:14:37What?
00:14:39Wait.
00:14:40Someone's been sending you a Christmas present for 55 years and you have no clue who it is?
00:14:45It didn't start as Christmas presents.
00:14:48It started as, um, help.
00:14:51What do you mean?
00:14:52My mom, Morgan's grandma, was a single mom, raising five kids.
00:14:59I was the oldest, out of school, and with my salary, we were making ends beat.
00:15:05But then, I got drafted, and the army made a trade, so my mother had to manage on a but private salary.
00:15:18It couldn't have been easy.
00:15:20It wasn't.
00:15:20And the whole time I was a mom, your grandmother never mentioned it.
00:15:26And any of her letters I never knew, she didn't want me to worry.
00:15:31And then, when she was about to lose everything, groceries started showing up.
00:15:38Cash money left in the mailbox.
00:15:43Grandma had no idea who it was from.
00:15:46And this went on for years, every Christmas morning.
00:15:51Gifts for the kids.
00:15:53Until I got back from them.
00:15:55Even after, I'm making money, we're back on our feet.
00:15:58Every year, at, like, clockwork, the Christmas gifts kept on coming.
00:16:05I didn't know any of this.
00:16:07Well, your mother was so young, I doubt she remembers.
00:16:11And the truth is, Grandma was ashamed.
00:16:15After she told me, she said she didn't want to ever talk about it again.
00:16:19Struggles and accepting charity.
00:16:22So out of respect, I kept it to myself.
00:16:25But still, I wanted to find that mystery sender.
00:16:30Yeah, to thank him.
00:16:32But you never did.
00:16:33Years of looking.
00:16:35I had to give up.
00:16:36And make peace would never know him.
00:16:38I mean, I surrendered and accepted that there really was a Santa Claus.
00:16:44And they sent a present every year.
00:16:47Every year?
00:16:48Wow.
00:16:49Well, better get outside and help decorate.
00:16:53See you, Tom.
00:16:58Do you think he still wants to know?
00:17:00Hmm.
00:17:03Yeah, I do.
00:17:05It just kills me.
00:17:07He put his life on hold to help my mom after my dad died.
00:17:09I mean, he let us all live here.
00:17:10He basically raised me and Kathy.
00:17:11I mean, the man has never done anything for himself.
00:17:14Why don't we do something for him?
00:17:16What do you mean?
00:17:17Let's find the mystery sender.
00:17:19Seriously?
00:17:21Yeah.
00:17:21I mean, he clearly still wants to know, right?
00:17:23And he's not going to ask anybody for help.
00:17:25So why don't we surprise him?
00:17:27I'll give him a Christmas he never forgets.
00:17:30Exactly.
00:17:30Yes.
00:17:31Okay.
00:17:33Oh, let's not tell anyone.
00:17:35I mean, you know, just in case we can't find out who the mystery sender is.
00:17:38We're going to find out who it is.
00:17:40But with today's technology, nobody can cover their tracks.
00:17:43This is going to be a piece of cake.
00:17:45Yeah, we can't track this.
00:17:46What?
00:17:47But today's technology.
00:17:48Well, it's postmarked in Buffalo, but there's no way to figure out where it came from originally without a return address.
00:17:55Sorry, kids.
00:17:56Looks like whoever sent this doesn't want to be found.
00:18:00What?
00:18:03Could you two look pensive somewhere else?
00:18:05I got a line of 50 people and a plastic Santa package.
00:18:09I got a line of 50 people.
00:18:19Getting to the post office is a total bust.
00:18:22I mean, we just started and we've already hit a dead end.
00:18:24One, Josh, did you great a lot?
00:18:25Allen for Morgan?
00:18:27It's weird, right?
00:18:28I can't wrap my head around someone doing something so personable and generous and not wanting to be found out.
00:18:33I don't know.
00:18:34It can be hard for people to put themselves out there.
00:18:36One sugar cookie, Gilchrist cappuccino for Gabe.
00:18:38but what's so hard about being honest i would assume based on no personal experience of my own
00:18:44it's vulnerable uh risky even there's a certain safety in playing something close to the best
00:18:51one chocolate milkshake one strawberry milkshake and one vanilla milkshake i didn't know they
00:18:56serve milkshakes they don't he let us order off the menu scott norwood therman thomas and andre

00:28:33weird i know i felt the same way when the bills moved out of the war memorial call it the rock pile
00:28:41everyone was afraid we're going to lose the bills to another city really yeah it was tough
00:28:46buffalo i mean the only thing they gave the city a sense of hope was the bills man we're still hoping
00:28:53no it's gonna be the year it's lucky for us they stayed and suddenly there was this excitement in the
00:29:04year you're all gonna see the bills playing this brand new stadium hi mark now my grandfather was part

00:30:19here without a bill's logo on it oh well it was writing on the bottom
00:30:29fiddlers yes you think they still have sales records from the 70s if any place would have it it'd be fiddlers
00:30:49we got some really positive feedback from the public forum oh that's great to hear i mean this is the
00:30:57largest construction project in the history of buffalo we need the fan experience at the highest
00:31:00level right oh hey gabe thanks for that hot toddy recipe it was a hit at my christmas party oh no
00:31:05problem it's all about getting that honey to clove ratio right you know all right looks like we're still

00:31:38well he doesn't recognize it oh my may i i haven't seen one of these in years you've seen this figurine
00:31:48vidlars only sold a handful in the 70s until they went out of stock quite the collector's piece you have
00:31:54on your hands here they wouldn't happen to have any copies of the receipts from back then copies oh
00:32:00dear i'm afraid not lower but i do believe the original receipts are stored upstairs here can we
00:32:08see them we promise it's for a totally normal not weird requests oh yeah they would have had personal
00:32:15information on them from back then so i don't think we should you see it was recently revealed to me that
00:32:22my uncle is receiving gifts from a mystery benefactor for decades now so we want to surprise him and
00:32:27find out who the secret cinder is just in time for christmas so it sounded crazy didn't it yep right
00:32:36yeah it's um it's my uncle tommy and he is just the kind of person who just gives and gives and gives
00:32:43and gives and he's really never asked for anything in return whoever this mystery cinder is oh yeah they're
00:32:50also a giver i don't really think they've ever asked for anything in return either i think we can
00:32:56all agree that you know it's pretty rare to find even one person like that on this planet you know
00:33:00let alone two it's been almost 60 years of my uncle tommy not knowing and he has waited a whole lifetime
00:33:06to say thank you i just can't stand the idea of him never getting that chance
00:33:12come with me
00:33:24well here we are this is the overflow for decorations and this is storage for old receipts
00:33:34that's everything going back 60 years they're not organized good luck

00:59:04basically i wouldn't be a doctor if it wasn't for this ball oh well it was an excellent motivator
00:59:11you ever have any regrets
00:59:15regrets yeah after my dad died you really stepped up for me and kathy and we helped mom raise us
00:59:22do you ever think about what your life would have been or you might have been what you could have
00:59:26had if you didn't you mean getting married having kids of my own
00:59:33well there are things that uh
00:59:37i would have liked to change had i had a chance but helping raise you two i feel like i hit the lottery
00:59:44and i do it again a thousand times over and don't get me wrong i mean in the beginning
00:59:52i was scared but i know with my whole heart having you two in my life changed it for the better
01:00:03and that's the thing about change we worry so much about what we might lose not enough about
01:00:11taking a chance see what you might gain
01:00:21go long go long
01:00:23come check this out look at this
01:00:35it's from our first bills game together
01:00:38that was the same year you and your family moved to the neighborhood right yeah just before the
01:00:43holidays your mom invited us to the last game before christmas and the tradition began
01:00:48the name man there are some old photos in this yeah well look at this
01:00:55this must have been from a bills game back in the day would have meant the rock pile
01:00:59yeah tell me a mia 1970 who's mia no idea
01:01:15wow 1970 this was the last bills game i went to before i went to vietnam
01:01:23i used to call that photo uh mia ford
01:01:31she was one of my best friends in high school
01:01:35yeah i always wanted to know what happened huh guys didn't keep in touch
01:01:40no writing no i did look her up after i got home went to the factory she worked at
01:01:47it closed she moved i never knew where
01:01:53oh
01:01:55mia ford
01:01:58no one with the last name ford has ever owned the abbott road house
01:02:02i can't find anything online that connects any of the previous homeowners to anyone named mia
01:02:06maybe she rented or her family well even if that were the case tommy says she doesn't live here
01:02:12anymore and the gift was postmarked in buffalo so can't be anyone named mia i just can't help it
01:02:18i mean something in my gut says it's her she was his best friend gabe we gotta figure this out
01:02:23we gotta find her i know we said we want to keep this plan between us
01:02:28but it might be time we have to call on reinforcements
01:02:39so we went to this house that we thought was the place but it turns out it was a dead end
01:02:43so that's the whole story and uh you know we hope we've come to the right place
01:02:51we need help which is why we've come here today to ask you for this favor
01:02:58why now why today on this the day before the last christmas game at highmark because we know what
01:03:06you're capable of well we also tried looking at me ourselves and you guys we found nothing
01:03:12oh morgan you may know medicine but social media stalking it's an art and i'm michelangelo baby boys
01:03:28um what's with the shovels
01:03:36we're headed to the stadium we signed up to shovel snow before the game tomorrow
01:03:39oh gotcha you know the new stadium is going to have one of the world's largest snow melting
01:03:45systems that's unnecessary a little bit of snow never kept this city down
01:03:51actually a melting machine would be nice all right boys get comfortable i've got some work to do before
01:03:58we head to the stadium so uh what are we looking for here medical records credit score no no just
01:04:05want to find her seriously yeah no fun all right stay put and i will get to work wait so what's
01:04:13going on it's a long story oh we have the time i mean it's going to take her at least an hour found
01:04:18something really yeah mia isn't on socials but her sister pam is found this picture of them plus
01:04:26there are a ton of pictures of pam and buffalo so mia may have moved away but it looks like her sister
01:04:31stayed put so theoretically you could have had pam send those gifts see starting to add up has pam ever
01:04:39posted about a house on abbott road no her feeds mostly cat memes pictures of ladybugs and uh a lot
01:04:47of petitions to bring back the show wings oh i'd sign that right okay maybe we should send her dm
01:04:54maybe she remembers uncle tommy we can but i don't even think she'd see it her account's not very active
01:05:00last time she posted was in 2017. yeah we can keep digging but i think this is about all the
01:05:06information we're gonna get sorry it's just so frustrating i mean we have all these clues but then
01:05:12there's these major pieces still missing it's like we've got the receipt we've got a timeline yeah but
01:05:17we have no proof that me ever lived at 360 avid road we might have to come to terms with the fact that
01:05:22me might not be the mystery sender maybe she is and we have the wrong receipt no it's the right
01:05:28receipt the serial numbers match look you want to just call it a night no we need to keep thinking
01:05:33because if we can't solve this thing i mean that's it tommy will have spent his whole life never knowing
01:05:38who this person is never getting closure after everything he's given me i just want to be able
01:05:41to give him this one thing because if i can't hey hey just just okay you will okay we just need to
01:05:47get back on track or hope for a sign all right babe morgan wow you really do get around oh i'm off
01:05:55the clock going to a big christmas party over on abbotsford place not the north pole oh the north
01:06:03bull good one gabe wait a second what the faded address on the receipt maybe it wasn't abbot road
01:06:10maybe it was abbotsford place well that's just a few blocks away could we have had the wrong house
01:06:15this entire time santa you're a genius you really are magical and that's not like a joke oh well
01:06:24merry christmas let's go i hope they have eggnog
01:06:28you have a good feeling i mean this has to be the missing piece i mean tonight
01:06:39we are gonna find our mystery center
01:06:45oh my gosh you're mia
01:06:47so you're tommy's niece i can see the resemblance it's in his eyes i can't believe we found you
01:07:06i mean seriously you have no idea what it took to get here and tommy said you moved away i did many
01:07:13years ago but this house always stayed in the family my sister pam owns it now are you here
01:07:19visiting her for christmas that and my sister's daughter angela is home from the army she's being
01:07:25honored at the bills game tomorrow during the salute to service moment i wouldn't miss it for the world
01:07:31so you said you've been trying to find me why
01:07:36so wow when my uncle tommy was deployed there was this person who anonymously cared for his mom and
01:07:47siblings he sent money and food and christmas gifts and he said that this person was the only reason
01:07:55that they were able to sail flow while he was overseas and now it's been over five decades that this
01:08:01person still sends him a christmas gift every single year and we were wondering if if that person was you
01:08:17yes it's me oh this is incredible tommy's been looking for you for years everything you did for him
01:08:25and our family i mean tommy's been waiting a lifetime to say thank you
01:08:31he's gonna be so excited when we tell him he's oh but you can't tell him
01:08:36i don't want you to tell him um may we ask why i've kept this a secret all these years because
01:08:46i don't want him to feel indebted to me in any way i just wanted to help you did help
01:08:51and you kept it up i mean even after you moved away even after he came home from the war you kept
01:08:58sending presents mia you gotta help me understand here if you didn't want to be found out then
01:09:05why did you keep going because you were in love with him
01:09:09is that true
01:09:17i've loved him my whole life
01:09:26did you ever tell him i never got the chance he was drafted and well it's not the sort of thing you
01:09:35just confessed to in a letter after i moved away i stopped writing letters it just was too painful to
01:09:45hold on to hope for something that seemed like it wasn't meant to be but you kept sending him christmas
01:09:52gifts part of me never wanted to let go if i kept sending him gifts he was still part of my life
01:10:03it sounds so foolish when i say it out loud but i guess it's easier than admitting that it's too late for
01:10:13us now but it isn't you can still tell him how you feel it's been too many years his life is here my
01:10:23life isn't what if he feels the same way what if he doesn't if i put myself out there after all these
01:10:32years only to be rejected it may be cowardly but it's also self-preservation my heart can't take that
01:10:41kind of pain especially at christmas
01:10:50okay hope is not lost right mia and tommy have never gotten married if that's not unrequited love
01:10:56i don't know what is dude you hurt her she doesn't want us pushing this because she's scared we have
01:11:01to tell tommy we're not telling tommy i mean what if she's right and he doesn't feel the same way
01:11:05and then we put her in the exact position she doesn't want to be in well what if he does feel the
01:11:08same way all right we've got to find out it's not our decision to make let's face it yeah we found
01:11:13the mystery cinder there's just nothing else left for us to do it's over no no absolutely not we're
01:11:21gonna keep going and you know why because we're bill's fans giving up is not in our vocabulary no
