Transcript

00:00Where'd you sneak off to?

00:09Sneak off to? No, I just had to make a call.

00:11Oh. I thought you said you were grateful to have this time off.

00:15I am grateful. Forrest is closed. I'm off the hook.

00:17I was talking to Kitty on the mission.

00:20Oh, good.

00:21I'm all set for tomorrow to help them.

00:22Yeah, that's important.

00:24We have to give back, right?

00:26That's what the holidays are all about.

00:30What? What's going on?

00:33You okay?

00:34Yeah. I'm okay. I just don't worry about Dad.

00:38This can't be easy for him, you know, getting to the spirit of the season.

00:41He's not that Forrest anymore.

00:43Wow. This place looks so amazing.

01:02So jolly.

01:03Oh, Eric, I know how much this holiday means to you.

01:08And can I tell you, I am so excited to host the family gathering tomorrow.

01:11It's...

01:13Hello?

01:15Aren't you?

01:18Donna, look, I...

01:20I appreciate everything that you put into all this.

01:23It's beautiful, but I...

01:25I don't think I'm really into it this year.

01:28Now I see why you needed help with the decorations.

01:46Well, I gotta make sure the mistletoe works, right?

01:49Mom, Mom! Can you make Christmas cookies?

01:57Christmas?

01:58Christmas icing!

01:59We want to take the cookies to Granddad's tomorrow.

02:02Can we?

02:04I think we can do that.

02:06That'll make the party even more special.

02:08We can't wait to see everybody.

02:11Christmas Eve at Great Granddad's is the best.

02:14Yay!

02:14Okay, before we start baking cookies, we need to unpack all of our Christmas decorations.

02:32Yeah, but you have to be careful with these, right?

02:33These are all one of a kind.

02:35Yeah, these are really, really special.

02:36My favorite.

02:38Gelli, do you remember making this one in school?

02:40Second grade.

02:42Oh, my gosh.

02:43Oh.

02:44I made this one in kindergarten.

02:48Yeah, good memory.

02:49Okay, you know what?

02:50Let me take these two special pieces and put it.

02:54We'll put them in a special place right up here so we can see them, okay?

03:01All right, what else do we need to do?

03:04Open presents!

03:05Oh, not yet, bud.

03:06Not yet.

03:07Not till Christmas.

03:08Yeah.

03:09I know you two are really excited, but Christmas Eve is right around the corner.

03:13I can't wait.

03:14Yeah, me too.

03:15It's so fun.

03:21It's got to be hard for them, not being at the office and just being over there with Donna.

03:27They're getting ready for the party.

03:29We should see if they need a hand.

03:34Yeah, maybe.

03:37So, yeah, let's just go there.

03:39And should we do that, or?

03:42Yeah.

03:43We should do that.

03:46Let's go.

03:46This year just, it doesn't feel the same, Donna, you know?

03:52You know, I don't want to, I don't want to be the Grinch.

03:55I don't want to bring the family down, especially the kids, you know?

03:59So.

04:00Yeah, I get it.

04:02It's, uh, retirement's quite a transition, right?

04:05Yeah.

04:06But I know you, Eric, and when everyone gets here, you'll see.

04:14You'll see.

04:15You're going to start playing the piano, and you're going to sing carols, and you're going

04:20to make your famous eggnog.

04:22And one cup of that, that will lift anyone's spirits.

04:26The family relies on you for Christmas.

04:29You're the patriarch.

04:31You pull the family together.

04:32And you, my dear, you bring the spirit of Christmas.

04:53Um, should we just put a pause on this and get the kitchen ready for baking cookies?

04:59Well, let's wait until the kids finish their list to Santa.

05:02And if we don't get to it today, then we can do it before Granddad's party.

05:07Well, it'll be good to see him.

05:09You miss having him at the office?

05:11Yeah.

05:12And I know he misses it, too.

05:15Well, retirement's a big change.

05:18How's he dealing with it?

05:20I'm not entirely sure, but I get the feeling it's hard for him.

05:28Eric?

05:29Eric, I need your help.

05:33Eric?

05:35Oh, boy.

05:36Oh.

05:37Oh.

05:39Well, there you are.

05:41Oh, hey.

05:44Wow.

05:45This is gorgeous.

05:47Oh, thanks.

05:48Hey, where's my dad?

05:50I didn't see his car outside.

05:51Is you running an errand?

05:52Oh, that's weird.

05:53He was just here.

05:53He didn't say he was going out or anything.

05:56So, what is it?

05:57Are you worried?

05:58Worried?

06:00No, it's not like he's getting called into work or anything.

06:03I'm sorry.

06:04I'm sorry.

06:05That wasn't cool.

06:05I'm being silly.

06:06That was really bad.

06:08No, I'm just having a weird day.

06:11And the way that Eric's feeling...

06:12How is he feeling?

06:16He's fine.

06:17Actually, he's fine.

06:18Everything's fine.

06:20What's going on?

06:22He's having a hard day, okay?

06:25He's having a hard day?

06:26Why?

06:26Because he's not working?

06:27Because the holiday's what?

06:29Solid.

06:32Okay, you just leave it with her, and I'll be back in a minute.

06:35Okay, where are you going?

06:36I'm going to go find my dad.

06:38Okay.

06:46I'm going to go find my dad.

07:16I'm going to go find my dad.

07:46I really thought Grandad would appreciate the change.

08:01You Forsters love what you do.

08:05It's hard to let go of the challenge and the excitement.

08:08Yeah, but nobody can keep up with that kind of intensity.

08:11Eric's dedicated to his craft.

08:14I mean, we almost lost him.

08:16It's like that health scare.

08:17If it wasn't for you and that experimental treatment...

08:20Yeah, but Eric pulled through.

08:22The recovery wasn't easy.

08:24Yeah, but he got back on his feet, but then we lost the company.

08:28Not for long.

08:29I'm sure it's not how he imagined spending the rest of his year, you know, forcing himself to retire, being at home all day.

08:37Yeah, that's a whole new life.

08:40Yeah, yeah, it is.

08:41But that's why going to Grandad's party tomorrow is really important.

08:46Listen, we need to celebrate him and our family.

08:51I didn't mean to make it sound like an emergency or anything.

08:54I mean, he went out.

08:55Big deal, right?

08:56I mean, maybe he's just buying presents or something.

08:59You don't want to overreact, and neither do a lot.

09:04So did he respond to your texts?

09:08No.

09:09No, and he knows I worry, and I try not to.

09:13I mean, he doesn't like me keeping tabs on him.

09:16He says, I'm a grown man, you know.

09:18Who is going through a hard time right now.

09:20I know, and I'm doing everything I can to pull him out of it, you know.

09:25I'm suggesting a trip or a new club or anything.

09:30He enjoys being with you.

09:33I know.

09:35I love spending all this time with him, but I don't know.

09:38This whole retirement thing has just knocked him off balance.

09:44Well, he is an artist, and he's very passionate about his work.

09:48I thought maybe he'll find something to fill that space.

09:54I don't know.

09:55I don't know Eric said that he wasn't in the mood for Christmas this year.

10:09You're telling me this frustration and heartache and how difficult that is, you're telling me this?

10:15None of that matters, because in the end, you have this collection in a beautiful gown.

10:20Yes, it's all beautiful, and yes, it's all worth it, but it's not worth putting your life on the line for it.

10:25It's not worth it.

10:26Maybe you had it right, Stephanie.

10:41Maybe you checked out at the right time.

10:43This getting old thing is not everything that's cracked up to be.

10:48I'm doing my best.

10:53I can do it.

10:55I'll pay it forward.

11:00I'm going to stop.

11:04Mark, don't want to see that before you can jack up.

11:06Probably that.

11:27Oh, my God.

11:28Listen to that.

11:30I love you.

11:31I love you.

11:32I love you.

11:33I knew I was going to find you here.

11:57You guys were in there a while.

11:59Yeah, there's some long lists.

12:02They're not lists.

12:04They're letters.

12:05To Santa!

12:07You let him know what you want?

12:09Kelly helped me write mine.

12:11We worked on them together.

12:13Can we see?

12:20You guys didn't ask for anything?

12:23Not for us.

12:24We already have enough.

12:26Right, Hayes?

12:27Right.

12:28You want to give your gifts to other kids?

12:30So they can have presents and a Merry Christmas.

12:34We thought of the kids you told us about at the mission.

12:38We have a house.

12:40Their families don't.

12:42Some kids live in places where there's not enough food.

12:46Or doctors like Finn.

12:48You really thought this through.

12:53At first, they wanted a drone.

12:57But making other people happy is more important than stuff.

13:02We want everyone all over the world to have a Merry Christmas.

13:09Kelly, I think that's a beautiful idea.

13:11It was mine too.

13:14Santa's going to love these.

13:16We're so proud of you.

13:18Come here, you guys.

13:19Yeah.

13:20So sweet.

13:21Yes.

13:22You guys, you guys are just amazing.

13:25Yeah.

13:26You're so amazing.

13:27Oh.

13:28Come on, Hayes.

13:29Let's go make the envelopes.

13:31All right.

13:34Oh, thank God.

13:36I mean, can you believe this?

13:37Yeah.

13:40Very, very thankful right now.

13:44You know what?

13:44It all starts with you.

13:47You are the love of my life.

13:49I need an incredible mom to those two kids.

13:52And I mean, every day is Christmas with you, babe.

13:57I love you so much.

13:59I love you more than I can express.

14:04Maybe we should give this a try.

14:09No.

14:14Still nothing.

14:23Nothing.

14:24Eric just needs a little extra support right now.

14:28And he's not alone in that.

14:29Especially this time of the year.

14:31When people need generosity and compassion the most.

14:36Yeah.

14:37Okay.

14:39You, uh, you caught me.

14:43What are you doing?

14:45Well, I knew the office would be closed today.

14:47So I thought I'd pop in and just see if, uh, if anything's changed.

14:52Nothing's changed.

14:53Yeah.

14:54And you can pop in here anytime you want.

14:56This is your company.

14:59I know that.

15:01I appreciate that.

15:03So, uh, how'd you know I'd be here?

15:05Where else would you be?

15:08Good point.

15:09Yeah.

15:11Tomorrow's Christmas.

15:13Still a lot of work to do.

15:15I mean, that eggnog's not gonna spike itself.

15:17You know that.

15:18Also a good point.

15:21How you doing?

15:23Come on, Rich.

15:25Parents are supposed to worry about children.

15:27Not the other way around.

15:28Well, I'm always gonna worry about you.

15:32Because I kind of like you.

15:34I like having you around.

15:35I like talking to you.

15:37So let's talk.

15:39What's going on?

15:41Is it this season?

15:42Is it this new stage in your life?

15:45What is it?

15:46You know you're not doing this alone, right?

15:49We're all here for you.

15:50It's gonna be a house full of people tomorrow.

15:52We're gonna celebrate another forced of Christmas.

15:54Yeah.

15:54Donna has a fantastic day planned.

15:56Yes.

15:57And you're gonna be a fantastic host, as always.

16:00Yeah.

16:01Hey.

16:03I know you're not leading this company anymore.

16:06You're still leading this family.

16:08And toasts and Christmas spirit.

16:14And making memories.

16:17Plus, you won't let anybody else touch your piano, so...

16:21Ho, ho, ho.

16:23Yeah, you make it sound wonderful.

16:26Because it is wonderful.

16:29Well, I, uh...

16:32I look forward to it.

16:35It's just been strange, you know?

16:37I've been dragging my feet.

16:39But, uh...

16:41I don't want to let anybody down.

16:44Certainly not the children.

16:48You've never let anybody down.

16:50You're gonna start now.

16:53You have a good life.

16:56Donna loves you.

16:58Your whole family loves you.

17:01More than you'll ever know.

17:05Maybe.

17:06Maybe.

17:07Oh, I love you.

17:11Yeah, I love you too, buddy.

17:13Ho, ho, ho.

17:16Okay.

17:17Okay.

17:19Take your moment.

17:22I'll see you tomorrow.

17:23Okay.

17:24Okay.

17:46Okay.

17:51Bye.

17:52Greatest design in my life, and everyone's going to see it tomorrow.
