00:00I knew my present would be under the tree. Merry Christmas, man of mine.
00:18Nice.
00:19That's not the gift.
00:21Well, it felt like it.
00:23I'm so glad Mother decided to do today at her house and have it catered so we could just laze the morning away.
00:29Yeah, and we don't have to be there for a while. And no begging to do so.
00:34Present.
00:41I thought of everything that led us to this moment. Pretending I didn't like you. Distracting myself from thinking about you. Thinking this too shall pass.
00:52And then you finally gave in and gave us a try at something fun. Together.
00:58I surrender. Merry first Christmas, my love.
01:03Mutual surrender.
01:07Oh.
01:10Happy first Christmas.
01:15Merry Christmas, Calvin.
01:17Merry Christmas. Oh.
01:19I made my list. Checked it twice to make sure I included everyone on staff.
01:24You are always so generous, Dr. Dupree.
01:26It's just my way of saying thank you to everyone who helps make Winterfest such a success.
01:30I speak for all of us. It is our pleasure. Are you having a nice Christmas?
01:34Yes, thank you. A busy one. Just dropped off a pecan pie at Smitty and Martin's. Got to open Christmas presents with my grandkids.
01:41This time of year, we're reminded how important family is.
01:46Anita.
01:47How's it look?
01:48Exceptional. Which means it looked perfect the first five times you readjusted it.
01:53Well, it has to be unforgettable.
01:55And it will be.
01:56Beautiful entryway with all the lights and the garland.
02:00Just as always.
02:02And Danny and Nicole will be over there conspiring over something, so candy dish filled.
02:07Tradition.
02:09Mistletoe, because I'm gonna need my kisses.
02:12You won't leave a room without one.
02:14And over here by the tree is the perfect spot for Chelsea to do her official holiday greetings.
02:21Oh, and let's not forget, this is Danny and Andre's first Christmas.
02:24I'll be sure to get pictures.
02:25Please do, because I know he'll be focused on her and she'll be focused on him.
02:29As it should be.
02:30And Cat. Cat will be over there by the piano making a long distance call to Tomas to show and tell him what he's missing.
02:39Martin and Smitty will be canoodling here by the fire.
02:43Jacob and Naomi will be acting like newlyweds when they think nobody's paying attention.
02:49And Tyrell and Samantha, of course, will be trying to get a sneak peek at their gifts.
02:54What should we do?
02:55Let them do it.
02:56Life is short.
02:58Yeah.
02:59And I am going to revisit this day and all these precious moments in the months to come.
03:08So you're preloading good thoughts.
03:11This is my happy place, Christmas, with all my family together.
03:17And next year, next year will be even better.
03:26I can't fight your fight.
03:28But I'm in your corner.
