00:00Merry Christmas.
00:29Are those visions of sugar plums that I see dancing in your head?
00:36Well, this is the day for it, isn't it?
00:38Mm-hmm.
00:41Is everything okay, honey bear?
00:43Yeah.
00:45Just thinking about past Christmases and all the traditions we've had in this house together.
00:52And all the celebrations we're going to have today with the family and with you.

02:54Yes, yes.
02:55I'll make sure Eric gets all the corner pieces.
02:58Well, most of them, anyway.
03:01It's nice to see how close they've gotten.
03:07Very sweet.
03:08Mm-hmm.
03:09Excuse me.
03:10I'm gonna go make fun of my friend.
03:12You see the mistletoe?
03:14Yeah?
03:15No, I see it.
03:16And you let her here without knowing that it was hanging there.
03:18Guilty as charged.
03:19It's good to see you happy.
03:21Merry Christmas.

04:02Thank you for keeping the tradition going.
04:04Sure.
04:05Of course.
04:06Merry Christmas.
04:07Hey, it's us.
04:08It's family.
04:09Of course it's tradition.
04:10Of course it is.
04:11Yeah.
04:12Here we are.
04:13This is going down to the mission.
04:15Another wonderful family tradition.
04:17Mmm.
04:18Something your grandmother started all those years ago and I'm thankful for that.
04:22Yeah, me too.
04:23It was wonderful seeing you today, Brooke.
04:25Really nice.
04:26Merry Christmas, Teddy.
04:29Merry Christmas, Brooke.
04:30Merry Christmas, Brooke.
04:39Well, um, who's in the mood for some of Eric's famous eggnog?
04:43Oh.
04:44Oh, great.
04:45Yeah.
04:46Yeah, I have some.
04:47One before dinner, because any more than that.
04:50Rich, can I have a word?
04:52Just a minute?
04:53Anytime.
04:54Let's go.
04:55Yeah.
04:56I, uh, put down a new design.
04:57I want you to see it.
04:58You want me to see it now?
04:59Yes.
05:00No, you know what?
05:01This might be one of my most important designs ever.
05:04Uh, it's, it's very, very important to me.
05:07And everything that it represents.
05:09That's fine.
05:10And I will see it.
05:11But right now, let's just be in the moment here.
05:13Let's focus on the holidays.
05:14All right.
05:15Yeah.
05:16Let's do that.
05:18I've got some eggnog for you.
05:21Hey, hey, hey.
05:22Good, good, good.
05:24Eric's famous recipe.
05:25Oh, this is perfect.
05:26This is, uh, no, wait, wait.
05:27It's the perfect time for a toast.
05:29Everybody, uh, can I have your attention, please?
05:31Uh, for a toast.
05:33I just want to say how grateful I am that you're all here.
05:37I'm very grateful that I'm here, frankly, and to have this house filled with all this warmth
05:43and, and, uh, generosity and, and tradition and the laughter of little children.
05:50I'm really happy to have you in my house.
05:54Wait a minute.
05:55What is that?
05:56You hear that?
05:58I hear that.
05:59That's the spirit of Christmas.
06:01Cheers, everyone.
06:02Cheers.
06:03Everyone.
06:04Cheers.
06:05Cheers.
06:06Cheers.
06:07Cheers.
06:08Cheers.
06:09Cheers.
06:10Hey.
06:11Hi.
06:12Nice speech.
06:13Makes me happy to see you, Raleigh.
06:15I was a little worried about you when I saw you at the office.
06:17Who is?
06:18Hey.
06:19Hi.
06:20Nice speech.
06:21Rich.
06:22Makes me happy to see you, Raleigh.
06:24I was a little worried about you when I saw you at the office.
06:27Rich.
06:28It's Christmas Eve.
06:29Aren't you the one who told me we should focus on the holiday?
06:33Come on.
06:39Okay, everyone.
06:40I would like to add to what Grandad was saying.
06:43What it means to be gathered around like this.
06:46The magic of Christmas.
06:49I look at each and every one of you, and especially my supportive husband and my beautiful children,
06:55and I realize what a gift this is.
06:59And I'm grateful to be around each and every one of you.
07:02Okay, that's all.
07:03That's all I wanted to say.
07:04So if anyone wants to chime in, go for it, please.
07:06I do.
07:07Oh.
07:08Yeah, me too.
07:09I love it and love you and daddy and everything about Christmas.
07:14Oh my gosh.
07:16Especially being off school.
07:18Yeah.
07:19Yeah.
07:20Yeah.
07:21And the best of all, Santa Claus.
07:24I can't wait for him to come.
07:27Oh, man.
07:28Yeah.
07:29You know, Steffi couldn't be more right on how blessed we are to have such a beautiful,
07:36happy, healthy family.
07:39I know how fortunate I am to be embraced by you.
07:45Being so far away from home, I was emotionally preparing myself, I suppose, for a quiet Christmas.
07:58A lonely one.
08:00But being here with you, home doesn't feel so far away anymore.
08:06Uh, like so many of us in this room, I've had some, well, in my case, a lot of ups and downs this past year.
08:19But I'm on the upswing.
08:22In so many ways.
08:25Ridge, my brother, I value our friendship now more than ever.
08:32Ours too, Eric.
08:34You've always been like a father figure to me, even when I didn't deserve it.
08:43Thank you for opening up your home to me again.
08:47I really appreciate everyone coming here to celebrate, um, such an important holiday with Eric and me.
08:57All I have to do is, uh, look up my very handsome husband.
09:04And I can see how much this day means to him.
09:08And it fills me with gratitude.
09:13Wow.
09:14Well, it's so nice to see Eric and my sister so happy.
09:19They've really been there for me this year and showed me a lot of support.
09:23So thank you.
09:25And I am thrilled to have found my way back to Ridge.
09:31We're meant to be.
09:32So my Christmas wish for everybody here in this room is to experience the depth of love that I feel with Ridge.
09:47Well, I'm just glad to have everyone here tonight.
09:56And I look forward to the surprises that are going to happen tonight, too.
10:00Surprises?
10:01Well, I'll tell you what's not surprising.
10:05The way everyone looks at you.
10:07Because they love you and respect you because you are our leader.
10:11Our patriarch.
10:13You know, uh, Steffi was talking earlier about tradition.
10:18Well, tradition only happens if you show up.
10:21Right? People show up because of you.
10:23You hold us together.
10:26You're the glue.
10:28Not only for Forrester, not only for this home, but for this family.
10:33So here's to you.
10:35Eric the glue Forrester.
10:36It seems to be going fine with Eric. I really don't think there was anything to worry about.
10:55Worry? What would you worry about on Christmas Eve?
10:59My dad went missing for a while.
11:02Missing?
11:03Yeah, but I found him at the office and he...
11:06I don't know, he seems better now.
11:07I'm just, I'm just concerned about him.
11:10Where is he anyway?
11:12I don't know. Donna's not even around either.
11:17Hey!
11:19Do you know what that sign means?
11:21Santa Claus!
11:23Yes! Santa!
11:25Ho, ho, ho, ho!
11:27Santa Claus!
11:29Hello, hello!
11:30Mrs. Claus too!
11:31And Mrs. Claus too!
11:33Right this way.
11:35I heard that there are two lovely, wonderful children here who've been very good all year long.
11:42Is that true?
11:44Oh, yeah. They've been definitely on the nice list.
11:47Yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:49What would you like for Christmas?
11:50Well, we did write a letter to you saying we didn't need any gifts this year.
11:55Oh, Santa, you did get that letter, remember?
11:58I did.
11:59But you two have been such wonderful children that, well, they deserve gifts anyway.
12:03That's right. So it's a good thing that we brought this bag full of presents.
12:06Full of presents.
12:07Now let me see. This is for Kelly. Here we are.
12:10Here we are.
12:12And so this one must be for you. Here we are. How is that?
12:15How is that to you?
12:16Thank you, Santa. And thank you too, Mrs. Claus.
12:20Merry Christmas.
12:22Merry Christmas.
12:23Merry Christmas.
12:25Merry Christmas.
12:33No!
12:36What?!
12:39Happy nó language.
12:41Meani.
12:42Yeah.
12:44Come on.
12:48Very well together.
12:49Oh, oh, oh, oh!
12:51Real Logan!
12:53Oh!
12:55Oh, he has no frog over here.
13:01It's a little tricky.
13:04Oh.
13:11Go, Ace.
13:12Go.
13:13Go.
13:14Go.
13:15Go, Ace.
13:15You got it.
13:16You got it.
13:17Is it not in me?
13:18How lucky were we to see Santa and Mrs. Claus tonight?
13:40I really wish you got to see him, great-granddad.
13:45Yeah, well, next time, Hayes.
13:47Next time.
13:47With all the excitement and gift-giving, we can't forget the true meaning of Christmas.
13:55Eric asked me to do a reading tonight.
13:58For unto you was born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.
14:06And this shall be a sign unto you.
14:08Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
14:12And suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of heavenly hosts, praising God and saying,
14:19Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men.
14:25Hey.
14:38A Santa suit?
14:40That was it?
14:40That was your important design you were talking about?
14:42Well, Santa asked me to fix him up something for the holidays, and I did.
14:49And I think it kind of speaks to what the holidays are all about, especially this one.
14:54You know, giving and generosity, family.
15:00And I saw you at the office.
15:02Well, I was picking up the suit, and I was also picking up the suit for Mrs. Claus as well.
15:08All right, you caught me, though.
15:12I was giving myself a little extra time to indulge in some reminiscence.
15:20I've had a real shift, you know.
15:23I don't think that I have to continue leading the charge into every new Forester line.
15:31Not anymore.
15:32That is probably the greatest gift you've ever given me, just hearing you say that.
15:43I've got to be okay.
15:46Merry Christmas.
15:50You too, son.
15:55Merry Christmas.
16:02Look, everybody, if I may, just one more speech.
16:10One more.
16:11Just that one.
16:12Just one.
16:13I think maybe this is the best Christmas Eve I've ever experienced.
16:19And that's saying a lot, because I've had a lot of Christmas Eves.
16:24You live as long as I have.
16:26You learn to stop once in a while and look around you, take time to see what's happening
16:34in your life, the people in your life.
16:37I'm so grateful for that.
16:40And I encourage all of you to thank God every day for what you have.
16:46Oh, thank you.
16:48Thanks for having us.
16:50Thank you, Donna, for this.
16:53And you're right.
16:55We have a special.
16:56Now, look around.
16:57Most people don't have this.
16:59And we have it, not just for Christmas.
17:01We have it all year long.
17:02We've got to remember that.
17:04Yeah.
17:05The spirit of Christmas.
17:06That's what we ought to do.
17:08We should have that all year long.
17:11Generosity and love for one another.
17:14Father, family, Merry Christmas, everyone.
17:20Merry Christmas.
17:21Merry Christmas.
17:22Merry Christmas.
17:44From our family to yours.
18:13Happy Holidays!
18:43Happy Holidays!
