00:00Merry Christmas Eve.
00:25Are those visions of sugar plums that I see dancing in your head?
00:31Well, this is the day for it, isn't it?
00:34Mm-hmm. Is everything okay, honey bear?
00:38Yeah. Just thinking about past Christmases and all the traditions we've had in this house together.
00:47And all the celebrations we're going to have today with the family and with you.
00:54And the surprises that we're having it.
01:01Ha!

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