00:00Where'd you sneak off to?
00:14Sneak off to? No, 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. Forrest is closed. I'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? What's going on?
00:38You okay?
00:39Yeah. I'm okay.
00:41I'm just, I'm worried about Dad.
00:43This can't be easy for him, you know,
00:45getting to the spirit of the season.
00:46He's not a dead forester anymore.
00:48Wow, 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,
01:13I am so excited to host the family gathering tomorrow.
01:16It's...
01:18Hello?
01:20Aren't you?
01:23Donna, look, I...
01:24I appreciate everything that you put into all this.
01:28It's beautiful, but I...
01:30I don't think I'm really into it this year.
01:33Now I see why you needed help with the decorations.
01:51I gotta make sure the mistletoe works, right?
01:54Mom, Mom!
02:00Can you make Christmas cookies?
02:02Christmas?
02:03Christmas?
02:04We want to take the cookies to Granddad's tomorrow.
02:07Can we?
02:09I think we can do that.
02:11That'll make the party even more special.
02:13We can't wait to see everybody.
02:16Christmas Eve at Great Granddad's is the best.
02:19Yeah!
02:19Yeah!
02:24Okay, before we start baking cookies,
02:34we 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.
02:43Kelly, do you remember making this one in school?
02:45Second grade.
02:47Oh, my gosh.
02:48Oh.
02:50I 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.
03:05Okay?
03:06All right.
03:07What else do we need to do?
03:09Open presents!
03:10Oh, not yet, bud.
03:11Not yet.
03:12Not till Christmas.
03:13Yeah.
03:14I know you two are really excited,
03:16but Christmas Eve is right around the corner.
03:18Can't wait.
03:19Yeah.
03:20We can't.
03:21So much.
03:22It'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.
03:33We should see if they need a hand.
03:39Yeah.
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, that will lift anyone's spirits.
04:29The family relies on you for Christmas.
04:34You, you'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.
05:07And if we don't get to it today, then we can do it before Granddad's party.
05:12It'll be good to see him.
05:14You miss having him at the office?
05:16Yeah.
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.
05:43Oh, there you are.
05:46Oh, hey.
05:48Oh, wow.
05:50This is gorgeous.
05:52Oh, thanks.
05:53Hey, where's my dad?
05:55I didn't see Scott 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.
06:10That wasn't cool.
06:10I'm being silly.
06:11That was really bad.
06:13No, I'm just having a weird day.
06:16And the way that Eric's feeling...
06:17How is he feeling?
06:21He'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 holiday's what?
06:34Oh.
06:34Okay, 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.
07:04I'm going to go find my dad.
07:34I'm going to go find my dad.
08:04You 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 it's not how he imagined spending the rest of his year.
08:38You 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 Granddad's party tomorrow is really important.
08:51We 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 the lot.
09:08So did he respond to your texts?
09:10No.
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.
09:38I know.
09:39I love spending all this time with him, but...
09:43I don't know, this whole retirement thing has just...
09:46knocked 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.
10:09You're telling me this frustration and heartache and how difficult it is, you're telling me this?
10:20None of that matters, because in the end, you have this collection in a beautiful gown...
10:25Yes, 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.
10:31It's not worth it.
10:32It's not worth it.
10:33It's not worth it.
10:34It's worth it.
10:35It's worth it.
10:36It's worth it.
10:37It's worth it.
10:38It's worth it.
10:39It's worth it.
10:40It's worth it.
10:41It's worth it.
10:42It's worth it.
10:43It's worth it.
10:44It's worth it.
10:45It's worth it.
10:46It's worth it.
10:47It's worth it.
10:48It's worth it.
10:49It's worth it.
