00:01I knew my present would be under the tree.
00:04Merry Christmas, man of mine.
00:13Nice.
00:14That's not the gift.
00:16Well, it felt like it.
00:18I'm so glad Mother decided to do today at her house
00:21and have it catered so we could just laze the morning away.
00:24Yeah, and we don't have to be there for a while.
00:27And no begging to do, so...
00:29Um...present.
00:36I thought of everything that led us to this moment.
00:40Pretending I didn't like you.
00:42Distracting myself from thinking about you.
00:45Thinking this too shall pass.
00:47And then you finally gave in.
00:49And gave us a try at something fun.
00:52Together.
00:53I surrender.
00:55Merry first Christmas, my love.
00:59Mutual surrender.
01:01Mm-hmm.
01:02Oh.
01:06Happy first Christmas.
01:10Merry Christmas, Calvin.
01:12Merry Christmas, oh.
01:14I made my list, checked it twice to make sure I included everyone on staff.
01:18You are always so generous, Dr. Dupree.
01:20It's just my way of saying thank you to everyone who helps make Winterfest such a success.
01:25I speak for all of us.
01:26It is our pleasure.
01:27Are you having a nice Christmas?
01:29Yes, thank you.
01:30A busy one.
01:31Just dropped off a pecan pie at Smitty and Martin's.
01:33Got to open Christmas presents with my grandkids.
01:36This time of year, we're reminded how important family is.
01:41Anita.
01:42How's it look?
01:43Exceptional.
01:44Which means it looked perfect the first five times you readjusted it.
01:48Well, it has to be unforgettable.
01:50And it will be.
01:51Beautiful entryway with all the lights and the garland.
01:55Just as always.
01:57And Danny and Nicole will be over there conspiring over something, so candy dish filled.
02:02Tradition.
02:04Mistletoe, because I'm gonna need my kisses.
02:07You won't leave a room without one.
02:09And over here by the tree is the perfect spot for Chelsea to do her official holiday greetings.
02:16Oh, and let's not forget, this is Danny and Andre's first Christmas.
02:19I'll be sure to get pictures.
02:20Please do, because I know he'll be focused on her and she'll be focused on him.
02:24As it should be.
02:25And Cat, Cat will be over there by the piano making a long distance call to Tomas to show
02:31and tell him what he's missing.
02:33Yeah.
02:34Martin and Smitty will be canoodling here by the fire.
02:37Jacob and Naomi will be acting like newlyweds when they think nobody's paying attention.
02:42And Tyrell and Samantha, of course, will be trying to get a sneak peek at their gifts.
02:48What should we do?
02:49Let them do it.
02:50Life is short.
02:52Life is short.
02:55Life is short.
02:56Yeah.
02:57And I am going to revisit this day and all these precious moments in the months to come.
03:03So you're pre-loading good thoughts.
03:06This is my happy place.
03:08Christmas!
03:09With all my family together.
03:11And next year, next year will be even better.
03:21I can't fight your fight, but I'm in your corner.
03:26And if it's a Christmas to remember that you want, bring on Christmas.
03:31Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
04:01If you told me a year ago
04:08that we'd be having tea in a country club for Christmas?
04:12I thought I'd imagined every possibility for us,
04:16but this, this outshines them all.
04:19And Peaches seemed like she was doing better this morning
04:21after she was opening her presents.
04:23That's a gift in itself,
04:24and I'm going to check on her after dinner.
04:27But for now,
04:29it's all about tradition.
04:32Living and loving like we used to.
04:34Feet up, blankets draped,
04:37hot cocoa in hand,
04:38and ready for romance.
04:42But the movie marathon?
04:44That's going to be after lunch.
04:46Oh, and after that,
04:48we will explore
04:49my satchel of joy.
04:54Okay, why am I low-key scared?
04:56Because this bag
04:58will decide if you get the Christmas that you need
05:03or the Christmas you deserve.
05:06Mm-hmm.
05:09Merry Christmas, Dad.
05:16Get in here.
05:17I thought you were supposed to be at the Dupree's.
05:19Well, that's my next stop,
05:20but I knew you'd be in football mode,
05:22so I came there in pizza.
05:25Ooh, your favorite of mine.
05:28Yours?
05:29Sausage with black pepper.
05:31And red pepper flakes.
05:32Ooh.
05:33How could I forget?
05:35What happened to the game?
05:37Ah, something with the Wi-Fi.
05:39All I can get is this.
05:41Aw, Cartoon Scrooge,
05:42I love that guy.
05:44Can't see what's in front of him.
05:46Why do I feel like that's an accusation?
05:48I miss you, and I worry.
05:53I miss you, too, baby.
05:54Thank you for always thinking of me.
05:56I was just thinking about
05:57where we were last year, you know?
05:59All of us celebrating together.
06:02I wish we could do that again.
06:03Ah, the world changes.
06:05We have to adapt, right?
06:07Make smarter choices,
06:08and who knows where we'll be next Christmas.
06:11Always looking out for me, huh?
06:13Well, I am your favorite daughter.
06:16Merry Christmas, Kat.
06:17Merry Christmas, Dad.
06:19For me?
06:21I hope you like it.
06:24Oh.
06:27La Belle Chateau de Thomas.
06:30Hmm.
06:32Now, my house,
06:35chouse,
06:36studio slash house,
06:38has an official name.
06:39Mm-hmm.
06:40The Thomas' Beautiful Chateau.
06:43It's for the front door.
06:45You know, amazing things happen
06:47in houses with names.
06:48Got a plaque,
06:50and that's a fact, Jack.
06:52Oh, thank you so much, baby.
06:56Hmm.
06:59Now,
07:00there is nothing
07:03better than somebody
07:06who has seen
07:07your secret wish list.
07:11I hope you like it.
07:13Mm-hmm.
07:14Go on.
07:15It won't bite.
07:16No,
07:17I can't.
07:18It's too much.
07:19You shouldn't have.
07:21The list of what not to say.
07:24Okay.
07:24Mm-mm.
07:33Diamond earrings?
07:33I know you're too polite
07:35to ask,
07:36so, yes,
07:37they are real.
07:39It wouldn't matter
07:40if they weren't
07:41after the year we've had.
07:43Eva,
07:44I've done and said
07:46some things
07:47that I wish
07:48I could take back.
07:50And I mean,
07:50you are the best thing
07:52that I have ever made.
07:55And I love you.
07:58I know.
07:58And you need to hear it
08:01more often.
08:02I mean,
08:02you are a better daughter
08:03than I've ever been
08:04a mother.
08:06You've forgiven me
08:07when other people
08:08would have forgotten
08:09my name.
08:11And you've stood up for me
08:13when you didn't even have to.
08:15So thank you.
08:18Those words
08:19are the greatest gift
08:20you could have given me.
08:22Thank you, Mama.
08:23This is the cutest thing ever.
08:30Yeah.
08:30How did we each
08:31practically give each other
08:32the same exact present?
08:34Las Vegas was our ground zero.
08:36Ah, yeah.
08:37And then I got to thinking
08:38about your parents
08:38and the gift your father's
08:40bringing your mom.
08:41And how something as simple
08:43as an old newspaper photo
08:44could mean so much.
08:46How life is full
08:47of all of those moments
08:48that are here and gone
08:49before we know it.
08:50You try to catch some of them
08:51with your photography.
08:52And even though
08:53we didn't catch any pictures
08:54of us falling in love
08:55Vegas is where
08:58it all fell into place.
08:59And I wanted to give you
09:00something so that you
09:01could always remember
09:02and hold on to this moment.
09:04The moment this temporary
09:06thing we thought
09:07took a turn
09:08into something real.
09:09Yeah.
09:15Look what Santa brought.
09:17Mary, Mary.
09:18Mm.
09:20Now this
09:21won't be like
09:22those Christmas holidays
09:23that we spent on the road
09:25singing to sold-out crowds.
09:27Oh, every song known
09:28to man, woman, and child.
09:30And child, we tore it up.
09:31Yes, we did.
09:32I am so happy
09:33you decided to stay
09:34for the holidays.
09:36Your families?
09:37We're very pleased
09:38we sent their presents ahead.
09:40After all the touring
09:41we've been doing,
09:42we're old hands
09:43at celebrating via video.
09:45And we'll slip away
09:46and make our calls
09:47when your family gets here.
09:48But we wanted to be here
09:50with you.
09:51Family has to be together
09:53during times like these.
09:56I agree.
09:57It's good to see you both.
09:59Mwah.
10:00Vernon.
10:01Mwah.
10:02I've decided not to share
10:04my news with my family
10:05until after the holidays.
10:08Understood.
10:09Whatever you want.
10:12Not just for what
10:13you've done for me,
10:14but for being here
10:15for Vernon.
10:25Hey, no fair.
10:27I saw you speeding.
10:28I couldn't wait
10:28for my candy cane milkshake.
10:30Just like when we were little.
10:33New tradition.
10:34Post-Haley holiday detox.
10:36I could not get out
10:37of that viper's pit
10:38fast enough.
10:39I mean, it could have been worse.
10:41I'm not sure how, but...
10:42The meal she made?
10:44I'm sick.
10:45Yeah, she was definitely
10:46overcompensating.
10:47Yeah, her first Christmas
10:48as a missus.
10:49Ugh.
10:50Well, that's all done.
10:52Let the chill begin.
10:53Mm.
10:58Better?
10:59Much.
11:00Same time next year?
11:02After Haley and Before the Grands.
11:03Then we can walk
11:04into the real Christmas party
11:06full of joy and jingle bells.
11:07Instead of humoring
11:08the ho, ho, ho.
11:10Okay, she's all out
11:11of my system now.
11:13Take me to the
11:14trouble-free Christmas.
11:15Ugh, I am so happy
11:16you're my sister.
11:17Of course you are.
11:19I'm a gift.
11:19Ha, ha, ha, ha!
11:29Sorry, you were asking?
11:31What is that rom-com grin
11:33that you got all over your face
11:35after reading that text?
11:36Just stop.
11:38I am not grinning.
11:40Lord, she's even giggling.
11:42I do not giggle, like ever.
11:47Okay.
11:48It's too much time.
11:50So tell me, what's on that screen
11:52that's got all your attention?
11:54Hmm, Isaiah?
11:56Wishing me a Merry Christmas.
11:58Mm-hmm.
11:59I know what that grin's all about.
12:01Today is all about us.
12:04Oh, say that just one more time.
12:08What did I say?
12:10Just what every mother wants to hear.
12:13Ready to dump a date
12:14to spend time with me.
12:17You made this the best holiday ever, okay?
12:20Why would I not want to spend time with you?
12:22Girl, go see that young man.
12:24No, you promised me rom-com all day.
12:27Okay.
12:28Go bake some cookies for him.
12:29Hell, be it a cookie.
12:30Whatever it is that you kids do these days.
12:33Okay, are you trying to get rid of me
12:34because you're planning on being someone's dessert?
12:38The imagination on you.
12:41Marcel?
12:42Please.
12:42I'm sure he's busy with his obligations.
12:47And I mean, all we've done is converse.
12:50Mm-hmm.
12:51And before you know it,
12:52your heart is tangled up
12:53in a man who doesn't deserve you.
12:55And isn't he married?
12:56His marriage is on the rocks,
12:59but it doesn't matter
13:00because I have no plans
13:03on pursuing that relationship.
13:07Go get that guy
13:08and you have a very merry, merry Christmas.
13:15Only if you will.
13:17I already have.
13:19I love you, Mama.
13:23Oh, baby.
13:26I love you right back.
13:29Mm.
13:29Oh, there you are.
13:30We were just talking about you.
13:33Hello, Tracy.
13:34Merry Christmas.
13:35And Sharon, what a surprise.
13:37I didn't realize the articulates were reuniting.
13:39You know, when we reconnected,
13:41we decided we were going to stay
13:42in each other's lives.
13:44You'll never get rid of us.
13:45Is that a warning?
13:48Oh, she says the funniest things.
13:51It's always the quiet ones.
13:53Gotta keep an eye on her.
13:55Funny, I was thinking the same thing.
13:57Nicole?
13:58But Sharon and Tracy
14:00find themselves here with us for Christmas
14:01when they could be with their families.
14:03Just curious.
14:04We are family.
14:05I want all of the people I love with me.
14:09This year has brought so many changes
14:11and I realize that when we make connections
14:15with the ones we love,
14:16we have to nurture them.
14:18Sharon, you mentioned you wanted to taste
14:20that pear brandy.
14:22Yes, please.
14:23Daddy seems really happy to have you here as well.
14:26Well, Vernon's always been a social animal.
14:28The day we met him on that march,
14:30we were all taken with how charming
14:32and handsome he was.
14:33Still is.
14:35He's as handsome as the day we met
14:37and has twice the charisma.
14:38Talk to me about Sharon.
14:41Oh, she adores your father.
14:44Sharon and Vernon are thick as thieves.
14:45Always have been.
14:55Looking gorgeous.
14:57Extra glimmer today.
14:59I mean, what could it be?
15:03I thought it was seeing me
15:04that brings out that inner glow,
15:06but those earrings, though.
15:07You like?
15:09If I'm being real,
15:10those diamonds could be bits of broken glass.
15:12You'd still make them look like a million bucks.
15:14You say the nicest things.
15:16You mind sharing that information with my family?
15:18Who do I call?
15:20Who is Scrooge at the Hawthorne house?
15:22Well, if you ask them,
15:23I'm the problem child.
15:25It was another Christmas to forget.
15:27Oh, listen to you.
15:29You got sweet words and compliments from me
15:31even though I gave you
15:32the worst advice of the year.
15:35Actually, it was the best.
15:36If they're keeping score,
15:38today was the day I tried to do the right thing.
15:40And it meant a lot to my mom that I showed up,
15:42so the day wasn't a total loss.
15:46Shoot for the moon.
15:48Even if you fail,
15:49you fall into the stars.
15:51Look at you,
15:52shining like you are.
15:54It's the earrings.
15:55Keep thinking that.
15:58Yeah.
15:59Yeah, there's still a chance
16:00this could turn into
16:01one of my best Christmases yet.
16:08Careful there, Teddy Bear.
16:09Looks like you've seen a ghost.
16:11An undigested bit of beef,
16:13a red pepper flake.
16:15Come again.
16:16You feeling okay?
16:18I must need a pizza.
16:19I was warned you were going to stop by.
16:22A dream.
16:23Well, since I didn't mention
16:25I was coming by to anyone,
16:27then that's the only reason
16:29that you could know.
16:31I thought that maybe
16:33we could take a trip down memory lane,
16:35maybe find out,
16:37you know,
16:38what happens when no one's there
16:40to see
16:41mommy kissing Santa Claus.
16:45Don't be jealous, Tyrell.
16:48About what?
16:49I've got what I wanted.
16:51It's not about that.
16:52It's about giving what people need.
16:55It's getting real hard
16:55having St. Samantha for a sister.
16:58You're talking about the Santa tracker
16:59where you can follow his sleigh
17:00around the globe.
17:01Yeah, I wrote a story about it.
17:03And since I know how busy you are,
17:04I already emailed you the article.
17:06Best son-in-law ever.
17:08We used to do that NORAD thing every year.
17:10Danny and I would take turns calling in.
17:12But our kids got to follow Santa online.
17:14One of my favorite traditions.
17:16Merry Christmas, everybody!
17:18Hey!
17:19Bye!
17:20Hey!
17:21What's going on?
17:22Thank you, Andre.
17:24That's our pleasure, Senator.
17:25What present is that?
17:27This is a secret I've been keeping
17:29from your great-grandmother's prying eyes.
17:33I heard that.
17:35I don't snoop
17:36and I don't eavesdrop butts.
17:38Well, what did you do
17:39just now to hear that?
17:41I have to stay on top
17:43of everything in my world.
17:45Smitty knows something about that.
17:46Right, Smitty?
17:47Uh, Anita's right no matter what.
17:50What?
17:50Can I say I'm putty in her hands?
17:53How many times have I seen you
17:54hunting for the vacuum cleaner
17:56over the past few weeks?
17:57Oh, no!
17:59You two have something to say?
18:00I haven't seen you with a vacuum since...
18:03Ever!
18:03Well, sometimes I have to resort
18:06to extreme measures
18:07because this man
18:08likes to build suspense.
18:11Took his time proposing...
18:13Good things come to those who wait.
18:15And I have waited long enough.
18:18Let's have it.
18:19You're forewarned.
18:21If you open this now,
18:23you 100% will cry.
18:25And it'll all be my fault.
18:28And you'll never forgive me.
18:30And on second thought,
18:32no gifts this year.
18:33Oh!
18:34You better hand me that thing.
18:38All right, if you insist.
18:41I love Christmas.
18:48Oh, Vernon.
18:50Oh, that's a picture
18:52of you and Great Grand?
18:53On the day we met.
18:54From a picture in the paper.
18:56It's lovely.
18:57Oh, with a little help
18:59from my friends.
19:04When you are near,
19:05the world sings in tune.
19:08So true.
19:11Andre, you have created
19:12a masterpiece.
19:14Your story is what made it matter.
19:16If you two wouldn't have gone on
19:17to fall in love...
19:18I never would have met Andre.
19:20You never would have been.
19:22Pop never would have been born.
19:24And he wouldn't have been there
19:25to make us all a family.
19:26Beautiful moments
19:28that make up a life.
19:29I'm glad you're in mine.
19:31I can't get over
19:32how young you look.
19:33We had the whole world
19:34ahead of us.
19:35And we were gonna change it.
19:37You did.
19:38That moment
19:39changed my life forever.
19:42How did you make this
19:43so beautiful?
19:45He's too humble to say.
19:47A lot of time,
19:48skill,
19:49and patience.
19:50That just speaks
19:51to the process.
19:52All the magic,
19:53that was you.
19:54Thank you, Andre.
19:55Thank you, sweetheart.
19:58This is...
19:59This is the most amazing
20:01thing you've ever done.
20:02I don't know how
20:03you can top this.
20:04Oh, Daddy,
20:10let's see.
20:11We want to see.
20:12Yes.
20:13Let's see who wins
20:14for best gift.
20:15There are no losers.
20:17No,
20:17just an ever-growing
20:18contingent of people
20:19saying,
20:19I wish I'd thought of that.
20:21You know,
20:22I love how you
20:22Dupree's Ashley
20:23trash-talked
20:24your Christmas gifts.
20:25Okay, okay,
20:26show the crowd.
20:27Feast your eyes
20:27on the splendor.
20:28It is a leather-bound book
20:31with some of your
20:33greatest speeches.
20:34Aw.
20:35To which we know
20:36you contributed,
20:37Gran.
20:37Custom made.
20:39Thank you so much.
20:41So creative.
20:42Oh,
20:43for the grandparents
20:44who have everything,
20:45we have to be creative.
20:47And this is from me.
20:49Looking a little
20:50thin, Nicole.
20:51Oh, child.
20:55Are you kidding me?
20:57Nicole.
20:57Tell me you love it.
20:59Tell us.
21:00What is it?
21:01Tell me where
21:01in the world
21:02you want to go.
21:03I will make it happen.
21:04Yes!
21:05How do I get one of those?
21:06Seriously?
21:07As stated,
21:08when it comes to gifts,
21:09you are notoriously
21:10impossible to shop for.
21:12It is a lot of pressure.
21:13I'm giving the two of you
21:1512 months.
21:16Oh, Nicole,
21:17you can't do that.
21:18Too late.
21:19You have given
21:20all of us the world.
21:22This is my chance
21:23to give a part of it
21:23back to you.
21:24I know I'm new
21:25to all of this,
21:26but I think Nicole
21:27won.
21:30Who knows
21:30where we'll be
21:31in a year.
21:32It's a lot of days.
21:34A lot of good things
21:35can happen.
21:36Anything's possible.
21:38Nicole,
21:38this is tremendous.
21:40I know.
21:43It's so good to have
21:45something to look forward to.
21:47It is.
21:48Well,
21:49this is from
21:49Kat and me.
21:50Oh,
21:51okay,
21:54Chelsea cat.
21:55I wonder what it could be.
22:01This is
22:03fabulous.
22:05Isn't she gorgeous?
22:07I love it.
22:08We love it.
22:08Good,
22:09because she's yours.
22:11And she's you.
22:14Meet the
22:14Anita baby.
22:16The Anita baby.
22:21You said you were
22:22going to name one
22:23for me.
22:24You know how long
22:25she's waited for this?
22:27Well,
22:28tell me more
22:29about my namesake.
22:31Well,
22:31above everything,
22:32she is magnificent.
22:34Sleek and refined,
22:35with the ability
22:36to hold more
22:37than one would expect,
22:39makes a statement,
22:40but also knows
22:41when to simply
22:42radiate the light
22:43in others.
22:43Oh,
22:44my.
22:45Classic and timeless,
22:46priceless but exclusive,
22:48disarmably appropriate
22:49under any circumstance.
22:51The one you bring along
22:52because she gets you.
22:54And if you're lucky enough
22:55to get your hands on her,
22:56never let her go.
22:57Thank you
22:58so much.
23:00Where's mine?
23:02You think I was joking?
23:05Where's my gift?
23:06You have the original
23:07Anita baby.
23:08Your gift is being
23:10married to this
23:11multifaceted Jack.
23:13Truer words
23:14were never spoken.
23:17Well,
23:18this is from
23:19Jacob and me.
23:21Vernon,
23:21I think you'll
23:22appreciate this
23:22more than your wife will.
23:23Finally,
23:24a little more attention
23:25coming over here.
23:27And well deserved.
23:31My.
23:33Ooh.
23:34It's a radio.
23:35That's nice.
23:36It's a Bluetooth radio.
23:38A Bluetooth radio.
23:40Come on,
23:41my lord.
23:43I am telling you.
23:44You can't.
23:46It's Christmas.
23:47You're winning best gift.
23:49If that fake friend
23:50of Mother's is up
23:50to something with Daddy,
23:52Mother needs to know
23:53sooner rather than later.
23:54We can't do this to her.
23:56You'd rather her be blindsided?
23:58Don't you remember
23:58what that feels like,
23:59being the last one to know?
24:00Does it have to be here?
24:02Now?
24:03With all parties present?
24:04Yes.
24:05That way we can deal
24:06with the aftermath
24:06and get to the healing.
24:08You with me?
24:10No.
24:10It has to be done.
24:12And it has to be us.
24:17Do you have plans
24:18for the rest of the day?
24:19Hoping for one last bit
24:20of Christmas magic.
24:22A true believer?
24:23You gotta believe in something.
24:25You remember being little
24:27and you got through
24:27Christmas stocking
24:28and it's hanging there,
24:29just looking empty.
24:30But you reach inside
24:31and you find
24:32one more chocolate drop.
24:33One last treat?
24:35Waiting right there,
24:36just for you.
24:37Because you've been good
24:38all year,
24:39despite life trying
24:39to get you down.
24:41Wait, hold up.
24:43Are you saying that
24:43you're the chocolate drop?
24:46In your sugarplum dreams?
24:48But you are very sweet.
24:50And you are very transparent.
24:52What do you think you see?
24:55People are complicated.
24:56And beautiful.
24:57When you find someone
24:59who gets you.
25:00A present from the universe.
25:03Thank you, universe.
25:06Now we should celebrate.
25:09I can show you
25:10where I hung my stocking
25:11with care.
25:13Either way.
25:17You know what, Dana?
25:19No, God.
25:19This isn't gonna be good.
25:21We are ending
25:23this year's friends.
25:25After all we've been through,
25:26I count that as a blessing.
25:29Let's leave it at that.
25:31Hmm?
25:34Merry Christmas,
25:35teddy bear.
25:37Merry Christmas, Dana.
25:38When did that help us start
26:04making house calls?
26:05Timing is not ideal.
26:10But we decided
26:11this can't wait.
26:13Well, what could be
26:13more important than Christmas?
26:15This is coming from
26:16a place of love.
26:18It's better you know the truth,
26:20even if it hurts at first.
26:21Nicole and I have both
26:22suffered through this,
26:24and even though
26:24things ended for us,
26:26it doesn't mean
26:28it has to be an end
26:29for you and Daddy.
26:30What are we talking about here?
26:32It's Daddy.
26:32You need to know.
26:36We haven't started
26:37caroling already.
26:39Oh, my God.
26:41What is that sound?
26:44If that
26:44is not my imagination,
26:48that's the sound
26:49of a Christmas miracle.
26:50Tis the season to be
26:59jolly, fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
27:02Look at you.
27:03I've never seen you
27:05like this before.
27:06That's because you
27:07don't know the Christmas,
27:08Shanice.
27:09Hmm.
27:10Get in here.
27:10What's all this?
27:12Every year,
27:13I make a dozen
27:15lemon cheesecakes.
27:16Oh.
27:17The 12 days
27:18of Christmas, huh?
27:20Well, I make them
27:20for friends,
27:21and since you had
27:22to share a peach cobbler...
27:24Well, this is
27:25more than I deserve.
27:27Yeah, especially
27:27after you gave me
27:28that bird feeder.
27:29Hey, that's state-of-the-art.
27:31For someone with
27:32a bird-phobia,
27:33it's a mockery.
27:34It's the thought
27:35that counts, huh?
27:36Hey, if you've got
27:37a few minutes,
27:37I can, uh,
27:38warm up a slice of pizza.
27:40Hmm?
27:40How's the game?
27:43Oh, no football?
27:45Yeah, all I'm picking up
27:47is Scrooge.
27:49Ooh, and this is
27:50the good part.
27:53So, you make
27:54all of these
27:56and give them
27:57to your friends.
27:58Just make them
27:59for friends?
28:01For now.
28:06Home, sweet home.
28:07I like your place.
28:10And your stocking.
28:12Well, there's no fireplace
28:13or sugarplum fairies,
28:15but you've got
28:16an imagination.
28:18I'm imagining
28:18all sorts of things.
28:20Like what?
28:21Where you are
28:22on Santa's list.
28:25I'm serious.
28:27You have the face
28:27of an angel.
28:28Matter of fact,
28:29I think I've seen
28:30five different versions
28:31of you on top
28:31of Christmas trees
28:32this season.
28:33Where I belong
28:34because I'm
28:35sweetness and light.
28:37What are you doing
28:38with a bad boy like me?
28:40Boy, please.
28:41You're like candy.
28:43Hard outer shell,
28:44but once you get
28:45past all that,
28:46I'm out to your mouth.
28:48Mm-hmm.
28:51Your turn?
28:52How do we get you
28:54back on Santa's
28:55nice list?
28:56Mm-mm.
28:57Santa's done for the year.
28:59Only list I want to be on
29:00is the top of yours.
29:00And heaven and nature sing.
29:05And heaven and nature sing.
29:08And heaven and heaven
29:10and nature sing.
29:16What in the world?
29:19Oh, stand there
29:20looking shocked.
29:21Join in.
29:22Hey, where's my backup?
29:24I got your back, Grandad.
29:25All right.
29:26Hey, don't talk.
29:28Sing.
29:29Second verse.
29:30He rules the world.
29:31People act like
29:32you've never seen
29:33a miracle.
29:35He rules the world
29:37with truth and grace
29:40and makes the nations prove
29:44the glories of His righteousness
29:50and wonders of His love
29:53and wonders of His love
29:56and wonders of His love.
30:01Everyone!
30:02Joy to the world,
30:04the Lord is come.
30:07Let earth receive her King.
30:12Let every heart prepare Him room.
30:18And heaven and nature sing.
30:20And heaven and nature sing.
30:23And heaven and heaven
30:26and nature sing.
30:31What in the world?
30:35Vernon Dupree.
30:37I still got some tricks up my sleeve.
30:39That took a lot of work.
30:40This was a labor of love.
30:43Singing has never been his forte.
30:45Grandad was one of the major voices
30:47of his generation.
30:48His speeches, yes.
30:49But his singing voice?
30:51What did you do?
30:52Make a deal with the devil?
30:54Well, I'll admit
30:55I had some tremendous help.
30:58Some excellent professional help.
31:01I've been secretly taking
31:04singing lessons for months.
31:07Behind my back?
31:08Well, it took a little subterfuge,
31:11a few white lies,
31:12and maybe a little sneaking around.
31:16But it was all for a good cause.
31:20Thank you, Sharon.
31:21Merry Christmas.
31:24Well, you have certainly
31:25outdone yourself.
31:27Again, this is the best Christmas present
31:29I've ever gotten.
31:39Scrooge makes the right choice
31:41on Christmas Day.
31:43But what do you think
31:43happens the day after?
31:45Caught a glimpse of what life could be,
31:47and you stand on the right path.
31:51You're a romantic.
31:53We all have our secrets.
31:55This cheesecake.
31:57You like it?
31:58Where has this been all my life?
32:00Ah, you have to have friends
32:02in the right places.
32:03Well, just tell me
32:04I don't have to wait another year
32:06to have more of this.
32:08I'll see what I can do.
32:09Merry Christmas, Ted.
32:12Merry Christmas, everyone!
32:15Sit right here
32:15and tell Santa all about it.
32:18Well, it isn't so much
32:20about what I want for next year.
32:22And I'm not going to make
32:24any promises I can't keep.
32:27Not like that.
32:28How about we focus
32:29on what I want right now?
32:31Mm.
32:32I'm all ears.
32:33So tell me,
32:35what's a woman like you want?
32:37What everyone wants?
32:39To be happy.
32:41I think I got a little
32:42some of that right here.
32:44Merry Christmas to all
32:48and a Happy New Year.
32:51That information
32:52you wanted to share with me?
32:53It was great.
32:54It turns out
32:55it was nothing after all.
32:57Daddy was just spending
32:58so much time with Sharon.
33:00Just when I thought
33:01I knew that man inside and out,
33:03he goes and surprises me again.
33:06See?
33:07You know how lucky you are?
33:08If I might have
33:10everyone's attention
33:11for just another moment,
33:14this song is special.
33:19It's important.
33:21And it's necessary.
33:28When you first said hello,
33:32it changed my life forever.
33:34And now...
33:38Never can say goodbye.
33:47No, no, no, no, I...
33:50I never can say goodbye.
33:55Even though the pain and heartache
33:58seems to follow me wherever I go,
34:02though I try and try to hide my feelings,
34:06they always seem to show.
34:09Then you try to say you're leaving me,
34:12and I always have to say no.
34:16Tell me why.
34:18Is it so...
34:22that I never,
34:24never can say goodbye?
34:27No, no, no, no, I never, never, never
34:32can say goodbye.
34:35Every time I think I've had enough,
34:39start heading for the door.
34:42There's a very strange vibration
34:45piercing me right to the core.
34:48It says, turn around, you fool.
34:51You know you love her more and more.
34:55Tell me why.
34:59Is it so...
35:01Don't wanna let you go.
35:04I never can say goodbye, girl.
35:07No, no, no, no, no, baby.
35:11I never can say goodbye.
35:13No, no, no, no, no, no, don't wanna let you go.
35:17I can't do it.
35:19I can't say goodbye.
35:22No, baby.
35:24I never can say goodbye.
35:26No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
35:29I can have a go for an anti-career.
35:58Whoa, when did you just call me?
36:00What can I do for you?
36:01I have a business proposal that you want to hear.
36:04It's time, love.
36:06We have to tell the kids.
36:08Nicole got a call from her father earlier.
36:10Maybe there was an emergency.
36:11Get out!
36:12Danny, there's nothing that you need to do.
36:14It's about our girls!
36:28What can I do for you?
36:47And I'm close to her.
36:47I won't!
36:48Why can't we do what you mean?
