00:00Where'd you sneak off to?
00:14Sneak off to?
00:15No, I just had to make a call.
00:16Oh.
00:17I thought you said you were grateful to have this time off.
00:20I am grateful.
00:20Forrest is closed.
00:21I'm off the hook.
00:22I was talking to Kitty on the mission.
00:25Oh, good.
00:26I'll set for tomorrow to help him.
00:27Yeah, that's important.
00:28I mean, we have to give back, right?
00:31That's what the holidays are all about.
00:35What?
00:36What's going on?
00:38You okay?
00:39Yeah.
00:40I'm okay.
00:41I'm just, I'm worried about Dad.
00:43This can't be easy for him, you know, getting to the spirit of the season.
00:46He's not dead forrest anymore.
00:58Wow, this place looks so amazing.
01:07So jolly.
01:09Oh, Eric, I know how much this holiday means to you.
01:12And can I tell you, I am so excited to host the family gathering tomorrow.
01:16I know how much this holiday means to you, but I don't think I'm really into it this year.
01:32I don't think I'm really into it this year.
01:35Now I see why you needed help with the decorations.
01:51Well, I got to make sure the mistletoe works, all right?
01:54Christmas Eve at great-granddad's is the best.
02:18Okay, before we start baking cookies, we need to unpack all of our Christmas decorations.
02:37Yeah, but you have to be careful with these, right?
02:38These are all one of a kind.
02:40Yeah, these are really, really special.
02:41My favorite.
02:42Gelli, do you remember making this one in school?
02:45Second grade.
02:47Oh, my gosh.
02:48I made this one in kindergarten.
02:53Yeah, good memory.
02:54Okay, you know what?
02:55Let me take these two special pieces and put it.
02:59We'll put them in a special place right up here so we can see them, okay?
03:06All right, what else do we need to do?
03:08Open presents!
03:10Oh, not yet, bud.
03:11Not yet.
03:12Not till Christmas.
03:13Yeah.
03:14I know you two are really excited, but Christmas Eve is right around the corner.
03:18I can't wait.
03:19Yeah, me too.
03:20It's so fun.
03:26It's got to be hard for them, not being at the office and just being over there with Donna.
03:32They're getting ready for the party.
03:35We should see if they need a hand.
03:36Yeah, maybe.
03:40Maybe.
03:42So, yeah, let's just go there.
03:44And should we do that, or?
03:47Yeah.
03:48We should do that.
03:51Let's go.
03:51This year just, it doesn't feel the same, Donna, you know?
03:57You know, I don't want to, I don't want to be the Grinch.
04:00I don't want to bring the family down, especially the kids, you know, so.
04:05Yeah, I get it.
04:07It's, uh, retirement's quite a transition, right?
04:10Yeah.
04:10Yeah.
04:10But I know you, Eric, and when everyone gets here, you'll see.
04:18You'll see.
04:20You're going to start playing the piano, and you're going to sing carols, and you're going
04:24to make your famous eggnog.
04:27And one cup of that, that will lift anyone's spirits.
04:29The family relies on you for Christmas.
04:34You're the patriarch.
04:36You pull the family together.
04:39And you, my dear, you bring the spirit of Christmas.
04:44Um, look, should we just put a pause on this and get the kitchen ready for baking cookies?
05:04Well, let's wait until the kids finish their, their list to Santa, and if we don't get to
05:07it today, then we can do it before Granddad's party.
05:11It'll be good to see him.
05:14You miss having him at the office?
05:15Yeah.
05:17And I know he misses it, too.
05:20Well, retirement's a big change.
05:23How's he dealing with it?
05:25I'm not entirely sure, but I get the feeling it's hard for him.
05:33Eric?
05:34Eric, I, I need your help.
05:38Eric?
05:40Oh, oh, oh boy.
05:41Oh!
05:42Oh!
05:42Oh, there you are.
05:46Oh, hey.
05:48Oh, wow.
05:49This is gorgeous.
05:52Oh, thanks.
05:53Hey, where's my dad?
05:55I didn't see his car outside.
05:56Is you running an errand?
05:57Oh, that's weird.
05:58He was just here.
05:58He didn't say he was going out or anything.
06:01So, what is it?
06:02Are you worried?
06:03Worried?
06:05No, it's not like he's getting called into work or anything.
06:08I'm sorry.
06:09I'm sorry.
06:09That wasn't cool.
06:10I'm being silly.
06:11That was really bad.
06:13No, I'm just having a weird day, and the way that Eric's feeling...
06:17How is he feeling?
06:20He's fine.
06:22Actually, he's fine.
06:23Everything's fine.
06:25What's going on?
06:27He's having a hard day, okay?
06:30He's having a hard day, why?
06:31Because he's not working?
06:32Because the holidays?
06:33What?
06:34All right.
06:35Okay, you stay here with her, and I'll be back in a minute.
06:40Okay, well, where are you going?
06:41I'm going to go find my dad.
06:44Oh.
07:05I'm going to go find my dad.
07:35I really thought Grandad would appreciate the change.
08:06You Forsters love what you do.
08:10It's hard to let go of the challenge and the excitement.
08:13Yeah, but nobody can keep up with that kind of intensity.
08:16Eric's dedicated to his craft.
08:19I mean, we almost lost him.
08:21It's like that health scare.
08:22If it wasn't for you and that experimental treatment...
08:24Yeah, but Eric pulled through.
08:27Recovery wasn't easy.
08:28Yeah, but he got back on his feet, but then we lost the company.
08:33Not for long.
08:34I'm sure that's not how he imagined spending the rest of his year.
08:39You know, forcing himself to retire, being at home all day.
08:42Yeah, that's a whole new life.
08:45Yeah, yeah, it is.
08:46But that's why going to Grandad's party tomorrow is really important.
08:52We need to celebrate him and our family.
08:54I didn't mean to make it sound like an emergency or anything.
08:59I mean, he went out.
09:00Big deal, right?
09:01I mean, maybe he's just buying presents or something.
09:05You don't want to overreact and neither do a lot.
09:08So, did he respond to your texts?
09:13No.
09:14No, and he knows I worry and it...
09:16I try not to.
09:18I mean, he doesn't like me keeping tabs on him.
09:20He says, I'm a grown man, you know.
09:23Who is going through a hard time right now.
09:26I know, and I'm doing everything I can to pull him out of it, you know.
09:30I'm suggesting a trip or a new club or anything.
09:35He enjoys being with you.
09:38You know, I love spending all this time with him.
09:41But, I don't know, this whole retirement thing has just knocked him off balance.
09:49Well, he is an artist and he's very passionate about his work.
09:54But maybe he'll find something to fill that space.
09:59I don't know.
10:00I don't know Eric said that he wasn't in the mood for Christmas this year.
10:08You're telling me this frustration and heartache and how difficult it is, you're telling me this?
10:20None of that matters.
10:22Because in the end, you have this collection with a beautiful gown.
10:24Yes, it's all beautiful and yes, it's all worth it, but it's not worth putting your life on the line for it.
10:30It's not worth it.
10:31Maybe you had it right, Stephanie.
10:46Maybe you checked out at the right time.
10:48This getting old thing is not everything that's cracked up to be.
10:52I'm doing my best.
10:57I can do it.
11:00I'll pay it forward.
11:04You stuck.
11:09Mark, I want to see that before you can check it out.
11:11Probably that.
11:30Congratulations.
11:31Absolutely, thank you.
11:32Oh my God, listen to my prayer.
11:35I love you.
11:36I love you.
11:36I love you.
11:37I love you.
11:41I knew I was going to find you here.
12:02You guys were in there a while.
12:04Yeah, there's some long lists.
12:07They're not lists.
12:09They're letters.
12:10To Santa!
12:12You let them know what you want?
12:14Kelly helped me write mine.
12:16We worked on them together.
12:18Can we see?
12:25You guys didn't ask for anything?
12:28Not for us.
12:29We already have enough.
12:30Right, Hayes?
12:31Right.
12:33You want to give your gifts to other kids?
12:35So they can have presents and a Merry Christmas.
12:38We thought of the kids you told us about at the mission.
12:42We have a house.
12:45Their families don't.
12:47Some kids live in places where there's not enough food.
12:51Or doctors like Finn.
12:52You really thought this through.
12:58At first they wanted a drone.
13:02But making other people happy is more important than stuff.
13:07We want everyone all over the world to have a Merry Christmas.
13:13Kelly, I think that's a beautiful idea.
13:16It was mine too.
13:19Santa's going to love these.
13:21We're so proud of you.
13:23Come here, you guys.
13:24You guys are just amazing.
13:30Yeah.
13:30You're so amazing.
13:32Come on, Hayes.
13:34Let's go make the envelopes.
13:36All right.
13:39Oh my God.
13:41I mean, can you believe this?
13:42Yeah.
13:42I'm very, very thankful right now.
13:48All right.
13:49You know what?
13:50It all starts with you.
13:52You are the love of my life.
13:54I knew an incredible mom to those two kids.
13:57And I mean, every day is Christmas with you, babe.
14:00I love you so much.
14:04I love you more than I can express.
14:09Maybe we should give this a try.
14:14No.
14:26Still nothing.
14:28Nothing.
14:28Eric just needs a little extra support right now.
14:33And he's not alone in that.
14:34Especially this time of the year.
14:36When people need generosity and compassion the most.
14:41Yeah.
14:42Okay.
14:44You, uh, you caught me.
14:48What are you doing?
14:50Well, I knew the office would be closed today,
14:52so I thought I'd pop in and just see if anything's changed.
14:57Nothing's changed.
14:58Nah.
14:59And you can pop in here anytime you want.
15:01This is your company.
15:04I know that.
15:05I appreciate that.
15:08So, uh, how'd you know I'd be here?
15:10Where else would you be?
15:13Good point.
15:14Yeah.
15:16Tomorrow's Christmas.
15:18Still a lot of work to do.
15:19I mean, that eggnog's not gonna spike itself.
15:22You know that.
15:23Also a good point.
15:26How you doing?
15:28Come on, Rich.
15:30Parents are supposed to worry about children,
15:32not the other way around.
15:34Well, I'm always gonna worry about you.
15:37Because I kind of like you.
15:39Like having you around.
15:40I like talking to you.
15:42So let's talk.
15:44What's going on?
15:46Is it this season?
15:47Is it this new stage in your life?
15:50What is it?
15:52You know you're not doing this alone, right?
15:54We're all here for you.
15:55It's gonna be a house full of people tomorrow.
15:57We're gonna celebrate another forced of Christmas.
15:59Yeah.
15:59Donna has a fantastic day planned.
16:01Yes.
16:02And you're gonna be a fantastic host, as always.
16:05Yeah.
16:06Hey.
16:08I know you're not leading this company anymore.
16:11You're still leading this family.
16:14And toasts and Christmas spirit.
16:19And making memories.
16:22Plus, you won't let anybody else touch your piano, so...
16:25Ho, ho, ho.
16:26Yeah, you make it sound wonderful.
16:31Because it is wonderful.
16:34Well, I, uh...
16:36I look forward to it.
16:40It's just been strange, you know?
16:42I've been dragging my feet.
16:44But, uh...
16:45I don't want to let anybody down.
16:49Certainly not the children.
16:53You've never let anybody down.
16:55You're gonna start now.
16:56You have a good life.
17:01Donna loves you.
17:03Your whole family loves you.
17:06More than you'll ever know.
17:10Me.
17:11Me.
17:14Oh, I love you.
17:16Yeah, I love you too, buddy.
17:18Ho, ho, ho.
