00:01:17Cookie break
00:01:19Oh
00:01:20Do you even have to ask
00:01:22You know
00:01:23Most people use gift bags nowadays
00:01:25They
00:01:25Save a lot of time
00:01:26Where's the heart in that
00:01:28No no
00:01:29A
00:01:30Proper gift should feel more like a mystery
00:01:32Something you open up slowly
00:01:34Bit
00:01:35I bit
00:01:36Your grandpa used to say
00:01:37I could make even the simplest of gifts
00:01:39Feel like
00:01:40Magic
00:01:41Just because of the way I wrapped them
00:01:43Let's be honest
00:01:44The words you wrote on the
00:01:45The tags meant more to him than any gift
00:01:49Grandma
00:01:50Where's your wedding ring
00:01:53It was just a ring Allie
00:01:55The shop needed it more than I did

00:02:44Air
00:02:20How many days do I have left?
00:02:22Is that what you've been worrying about, dearest?
00:02:25I-I worry that you've been running this shop for 60 years and it's taken every-
00:02:30everything out of you.
00:02:31Oh, buddy.
00:02:33That's because you think of this-
00:02:35this little shop is just a place.
00:02:38Every tidying of joy-
00:02:40I've ever drawn.
00:02:41Every Christmas season we've spent together and every-
00:02:45every person who walks in that door looking for something unique to send to someone they
00:02:50love.
00:02:50It's all a part of me and I'm a part of it and it's all-
00:02:55all a part of God's greater plan.
00:02:56It's all a part of God's greater plan.
00:03:00It's all a part of God's greater plan.
00:03:02What is your name?
00:03:05I'm a guest.
00:03:06What is your name?
00:03:08Oh my God.
00:03:10Oh my God.
00:03:11And I'm like, can you have your name?
00:03:13How am I?
00:03:15I'm like this guy?
00:03:16No, my God.
00:03:18I love you.
00:03:19Yeah, I love you.
00:03:20How am I?
00:03:21I love you.
00:03:22I love you.
00:03:24How are you?
00:03:25I love you too?
00:03:26Yeah.
00:03:27I love you too.
00:03:28Connectory will be the fastest growing communication app.
00:03:31Well, we are one month out.
00:03:33From launch, and as you know, this is the time most companies bring in a launch strategy team.
00:03:38To oversee the rollout, but we're not going to do that.
00:03:43Instead, I'll be leading the launch myself.
00:03:46No one knows this product.
00:03:48Better than you, Ali.
00:03:53Before we move on, can we just give Nina some appreciation?
00:03:58Because not only is she the best techie in the game, but she somehow manages to make it applicable.
00:04:03It looks like it belongs on a runway.
00:04:08Okay, that's it, everyone.
00:04:09Thank you so much.
00:04:09Have a great, long weekend.
00:04:12And if you see Santa...
00:04:13Ask him for some coffee, because we're going to need it.
00:04:18Hey, Lucas, can I see you in my office, please?
00:04:23Huh?
00:04:33Hey.
00:04:34Hey, come on in.
00:04:35Have a seat.
00:04:38You weren't exactly celebrating in there.
00:04:43Look, I know how much work has gotten into this.
00:04:46I don't want to be the guy...
00:04:48Throwing a wrench into it.
00:04:50Well, you're on the team for a reason.
00:04:51If you see something, say...
00:04:53Allie, you should have hired a launch strategy team.
00:04:58Why?
00:04:59I mean, that's what companies usually do at this stage.
00:05:03I know the company better than anyone, and we've put in the work.
00:05:07The last thing...
00:05:08The last thing we need is someone coming in now, reshaping it.
00:05:11A launch strategist isn't going to tell me...
00:05:13Anything I don't already know.
00:05:15I've been tracking market trends.
00:05:17Startups...
00:05:18Using this exact playbook are seeing big initial spikes.
00:05:23Then crash.
00:05:24The market's oversaturated.
00:05:26The Tech Insider Substack...
00:05:28Dropped an article this morning.
00:05:29Companies following this launch model are flatlining.
00:05:33I just thought you should know.
00:05:35I appreciate your input.
00:05:38I'll take the weekend to think about it,
00:05:40and I'll figure out a way to fix the strategy myself.
00:05:43All right.
00:05:47I'll leave you to it.
00:05:48I'll leave you to it.
00:05:53I'll leave you to it.
00:05:58I'll leave you to it.
00:06:03I thought it was the only one still here.
00:06:05Are you turning the boardroom into Santa's workshop again?
00:06:08Only place I can wrap presents without my little spy sleeping around.
00:06:11What are you working on?
00:06:13What are you working on, hmm?
00:06:16Why 70% of tech launches fail?
00:06:20Well, that's one...
00:06:21That's one way to get into the Christmas spirit.
00:06:22Lucas says our launch strategy won't work.
00:06:25That we're going to be just another app in an overcrowded market.
00:06:29I mean...
00:06:30If I don't find a way to break through the noise, we could crash before this even gets off the ground.
00:06:35Maybe we should take a break over the long weekend.
00:06:39You've been in overdrive for months.
00:06:43Exhaustion doesn't exactly...
00:06:44How do you fuel creativity?
00:06:45Well, trust me.
00:06:46If I could, I would.
00:06:47But I have to drive to Indiana.
00:06:49Indiana this weekend.
00:06:50Indiana?
00:06:51Why?
00:06:52Do you remember how my grandmother Joy...
00:06:54In your shop?
00:06:55Vaguely, yes.
00:06:56Well, we finally have someone interested in buying it, so...
00:06:59I want to get their ASAP to finalize the sale.
00:07:01Oh.
00:07:02How do you know you still have that?
00:07:03Yeah.
00:07:04It was on the market...
00:07:04Nearly two years with zero interest, but thankfully someone is crazy enough to...
00:07:09think that a bespoke Christmas shop is actually worth something.
00:07:14Speaking of, this is probably the tidying shop manager.
00:07:17You know, he and my dad are the only two...
00:07:19people who insist on calling over texting.
00:07:21Except the only difference is I...
00:07:24always answer a call from my dad.
00:07:25Have a good weekend, Allie.
00:07:29Hi, dad.
00:07:30Hi, honey.
00:07:31Hi, honey.
00:07:32Hi.
00:07:33Hi, honey.
00:07:34Hi, honey.
00:07:35Hi, honey.
00:07:36Hi.
00:07:37Hi, honey.
00:07:38I'm sorry.
00:07:39Are you still at work?
00:07:40Uh, second thoughts?
00:07:41No, no, no.
00:07:42I'm actually ha-
00:07:43Shirt?
00:07:44How's Florida?
00:07:45Well, the shirt is courtesy of your uncle.
00:07:48And we're having a blast.
00:07:50I did look in the tickets a little earlier to try and be there.
00:07:53Oh, don't worry about it.
00:07:54Have fun.
00:07:55This offer came in so last minute.
00:07:56I've got everything handled.
00:07:58I just wish I could be there for you.
00:08:03Say goodbye.
00:08:03Take a bite of the shop for me, will ya?
00:08:04Lotta memories.
00:08:05Yeah.
00:08:06Some better than others.
00:08:08Oh, sweetheart.
00:08:09I know that things got really...
00:08:13difficult between you and your grandmother, but she always loved you.
00:08:18Remember, after raising two boys, you were the daughter she never had.
00:08:22I know, I was...
00:08:23Just lucky like that.
00:08:24Yeah.
00:08:25I remember how excited she was when your...
00:08:28Mom and I told her that she could name you, she picked it out in seconds.
00:08:31Like, she'd been waiting for that moment, her whole...
00:08:33life.
00:08:34I've always loved that story.
00:08:35And I loved her.
00:08:36Even though we didn't see her.
00:08:38See eye to eye.
00:08:39She just knew how I felt about the shop, so...
00:08:43Why'd she leave it to me?
00:08:45Maybe she hoped you'd take a second look.
00:08:47See...
00:08:48See it the way she did.
00:08:49Anyway, there's a storm coming towards Bloomington, so...
00:08:53If you're gonna beat it, you need to get on the road.
00:08:56I'll text you when I get there.
00:08:58Drive safe, honey.
00:08:59Okay, bye dad.
00:09:00I love you.
00:09:01I love you too.
00:09:03I love you too.
00:09:06Reports are coming in of a freak...
00:09:08Thunderstorm rolling into the area.
00:09:10Lightning and thunder in December.
00:09:12Now that is a...
00:09:13Christmas twist.
00:09:14You expect it in spring, not when there's snow on the ground.
00:09:18There's a bird.
00:09:21Hold on...
00:09:23Oh...
00:09:24Oh...
00:09:25Oh...
00:09:26Oh...
00:09:27Oh...
00:09:28Oh...
00:09:28Oh...
00:09:30Oh...
00:09:31Oh...
00:09:32Oh...
00:09:33Oh...
00:09:33Oh...
00:09:34Oh...
00:09:38Oh...
00:09:39Oh...
00:09:40Oh...
00:09:41Oh...
00:09:42Oh...
00:09:43Oh...
00:09:43Oh...
00:09:44Oh...
00:09:45Oh...
00:09:46Oh...
00:09:48Oh...
00:09:48Oh...
00:09:49Oh...
00:09:50Oh...
00:09:51Oh...
00:09:52Oh...
00:09:53Oh...
00:09:53Oh...
00:09:54Oh...
00:09:55One day, I'm going to replace this silly carousel.
00:09:58Oh...
00:09:59Oh...
00:10:00Oh...
00:10:01Oh...
00:10:02Oh...
00:10:03Oh...
00:10:04Oh...
00:10:05Oh...
00:10:08Oh...
00:10:08I'm going to take a look at the top of the top.
00:10:13You
00:10:28Thank you for your generous offer, Fred, but I've decided to decline.
00:10:33I hope you have a Merry Christmas.
00:10:36Sincerely, Joy.
00:10:38You should have taken it, Grandma.
00:10:43Ah, the infamous granddaughter.
00:10:48He returns every phone call with a text.
00:10:50Uh, hi.
00:10:51Wait.
00:10:52You're Bennett?
00:10:53The manager?
00:10:54Technically, illustrator, printer, painter, turn manager.
00:10:58Occasional janitor.
00:11:00It's good to meet you.
00:11:02Finally.
00:11:03Yeah.
00:11:04You're not at all what I was expecting.
00:11:07Really?
00:11:09Huh.
00:11:10How so?
00:11:12Um, I mean, I...
00:11:13I just...
00:11:13I expected someone a lot older.
00:11:17What?
00:11:18Because I work at a semi-outdated Christmas shop.
00:11:21Yeah?
00:11:22And...
00:11:23Honestly, you just seemed kind of old-fashioned.
00:11:25You are exactly the way that I pictured you.
00:11:28Oh, well, that's easy.
00:11:30My grandma had pictures of me in here.
00:11:33No, no.
00:11:33I just mean someone who had let a place go because it didn't make sense to them.
00:11:36Um, you don't even know...
00:11:38That's true, but I grew up in a household filled with people with your exact demeanor.
00:11:44My demeanor?
00:11:44I don't mean to offend you, but, you know, people who are only focused...
00:11:48Focused on the bottom line in life?
00:11:50Okay, I am offended, and I don't just focus on...
00:11:53Focused on the bottom line.
00:11:55This is a business, not a charity, and it hasn't made money in years.
00:11:58And, well, what's one of these tidings going to say that a text or an email can't?
00:12:03Funny you should ask.
00:12:06May you find the courage to...
00:12:08Choose what is right, even when the path is steep and the way uncertain.
00:12:13And, if you don't do the right thing, may those left behind find a way...
00:12:18To piece together the wreckage you caused.
00:12:21It does not say that last part.
00:12:23Yeah, well, it should.
00:12:24Look, I didn't even ask for this place.
00:12:27I grew up watching...
00:12:28I grew up watching it take everything from my grandma.
00:12:30And now, it finally has the chance to be worth something.
00:12:33I have a buyer, and I'm not about to let that slip away.
00:12:38You have a buyer?
00:12:40Well, what do you think Grandma Joy would think if she knew you were trying to sell it right now?
00:12:43I think she'd admit that she doesn't want me to...
00:12:48To make the same mistake that she did.
00:12:50And, that she wishes she would have sold it.
00:12:53To the only investor who ever offered to buy it back when she had the chance.
00:12:58To make the same mistake that she would have sold it back when she would have sold it.
00:13:03To make the same mistake that she would have sold it back when she would have sold it back when she would have sold it.
00:13:08What just happened?
00:13:11I don't know.
00:13:13I think the building got struck by lightning or something.
00:13:18How was it daytime?
00:13:23These are not my designs.
00:13:25These are not my designs.
00:13:28As the world celebrates the Allies' victory, my greatest joy is having you all.
00:13:33Well, no wonder it's not selling.
00:13:37It sounds like it's from...
00:13:38World War II.
00:13:39And, you only charge five cents?
00:13:42No.
00:13:43No?
00:13:44Okay, something weird is going on.
00:13:46Oh, hi there!
00:13:48Welcome to Tardings of Joy.
00:13:49I'll be with you in a jiffy.
00:13:50Just need to put these parcels in the mail truck.
00:13:53Feel free to look around.
00:13:59Who was that?
00:14:00Who was that?
00:14:01Yeah, I don't know.
00:14:02How did you...
00:14:03How did she get in here?
00:14:04Okay, this is weird.
00:14:09I'm sure I locked the back door.
00:14:12No.
00:14:13No.
00:14:14No.
00:14:15This...
00:14:16This can't be happening.
00:14:17What's she...
00:14:18Acting like...
00:14:19She works here?
00:14:24Because I think she does.
00:14:25No, no.
00:14:26I didn't hire her.
00:14:28In fact, I think she might own the place.
00:14:31Bennett, I...
00:14:32I think that was...
00:14:33That was my grandmother.
00:14:34Your grandmother passed away three years ago when she was 98 years old.
00:14:38No.
00:14:39No.
00:14:40No.
00:14:41No, no, no.
00:14:42My grandmother from when she was young.
00:14:43Oh!
00:14:43Wait, look at this place.
00:14:44This...
00:14:45This is not the same store that I walked into.
00:14:4815 minutes ago.
00:14:51What are you saying?
00:14:52I mean...
00:14:53It is the same store.
00:14:54It's just...
00:14:55It's not...
00:14:56The same one that it was 15 minutes ago.
00:14:58It was 15 minutes ago.
00:15:03That's it, man.
00:15:05That's not much work.
00:15:07What are we doing?
00:15:08Bennett.
00:15:12What?
00:15:13December 14th, 1945?
00:15:18...
00:15:22...
00:15:31...
00:15:38...
00:15:43...
00:15:44...
00:15:47like we just traveled back in time now there's probably some logical explanation for this
00:15:52there's no such thing as time travel
00:15:57lightning right we both got struck by lightning went unconscious and now we're
00:16:02just hallucinating hallucinating the same thing yeah
00:16:07what about my grandma that woman you saw her for like a split second there's no way you can
00:16:12be sure that that's actually her sorry for the delay i'm joy

00:16:57our outfits are part of the latest trend
00:17:02i think we need more time to look before we decide sure
00:17:07take your time okay
00:17:12look what this isn't just any
00:17:17This is the tiding.
00:17:19Okay, I'm not following.
00:17:22The one my grandmother gave the investor.
00:17:25In 1945, turning down my-
00:17:27Is she gonna offer to buy her shop?
00:17:30That means-
00:17:32That means the offer hasn't happened yet.
00:17:34What exactly are you saying to me?
00:17:37I think I was sent back here to stop her from making the wrong choice.
00:17:42Do you remember what I said before the lightning?
00:17:45Yeah, you said that you're-
00:17:47Grandmother regretted not selling to the investor when she had the opportunity.
00:17:52Right.
00:17:54What was his name?
00:17:56Fred.
00:17:58Yeah, good memory.
00:18:00Yeah, so I think I've been given the opportunity.
00:18:02To help my grandmother make the right choice by accepting Fred's office.
00:18:07To help her.
00:18:09You think you were sent back through time to-
00:18:12What?
00:18:13Rewrite history?
00:18:14No, not rewrite.
00:18:15Just fix.
00:18:17Why do you care so much what your grandmother did back then?
00:18:22Right.
00:18:23What happened to your life?
00:18:24Yeah.
00:18:25Who was допac necesillo-
00:18:28Sorry.
00:18:29Who was that?
00:18:31That was me.
00:18:33It says, what about the plausible thing?
00:18:37No.
00:18:38What is he doing?
00:18:39Here is the nickname of my grandmother.
00:18:41I had she singing of my TV.
00:18:43The Lib Tool has done!
00:18:44How are you?
00:18:45How can he get better?
00:18:49How are they?
00:18:50Yeah.
00:18:51that like like that's supposed to make it okay it's just
00:18:56a reminder to trust his timing he has a bigger plan we're selling
00:19:01your wedding ring to pay the bills trusting that God will work things out
00:19:05I
00:19:06don't think trusting in God means doing nothing
00:19:09it means pretending
00:19:11like things aren't as bad as they are
00:19:16I lost out on that job grandma because I was here I've missed out on so many
00:19:21opportunities I thought you enjoyed working here honey I never
00:19:26asked you to sacrifice yourself for this job then it never would have survived
00:19:31I love him so much and I appreciate all
00:19:36that you've done but God has always sustained this shop not us
00:19:41no we're the ones that have been standing behind the counter every day
00:19:45that
00:19:46balancing the books worrying about the bills not God us
00:19:51I can't do this anymore grandma you deserve more than just getting
00:19:56by I do too it's time to let it go well maybe
00:20:01maybe for you but not for me
00:20:03why
00:20:05why
00:20:06why
00:20:07why
00:20:08why
00:20:09why
00:20:10why
00:20:11why
00:20:12why
00:20:13why
00:20:14why
00:20:15why
00:20:16why
00:20:17why
00:20:18why
00:20:19why
00:20:20why
00:20:21why
00:20:22why

00:20:32why
00:20:33why
00:20:34why
00:20:35why
00:20:11making money. It's about finding purpose.
00:20:16You were once given a life-changing offer by an investor and you turned him down, right?
00:20:21Yeah.
00:20:21Yes. And given the same opportunity, I wouldn't change a thing.
00:20:26Well, if I could go back in time, I'd sell the shop for you. And it's a good-
00:20:31Good thing God didn't give you that decision to make.
00:20:36I couldn't continue to sit back and watch her put blind-
00:20:41faith in God when really it's just a crutch.
00:20:46If she sells now, she could have the future she deserves.
00:20:51What if I don't agree?
00:20:56Then we could end up stuck in 1945 forever.
00:21:01But if I am right, and I was sent back here to change her mind-
00:21:06then the only way for us to get back home is if you accomplish that.
00:21:12No, it's everything. Thank you, Joy.
00:21:13Merry Christmas, Joy.
00:21:16Did you find one you like? Yes, this one.
00:21:20Christmas has felt-
00:21:21different ever since I met you.
00:21:24Well, we can't argue with that one, can we?
00:21:26Well, I'm honored that you've come to my little store to shop for your first Christmas.
00:21:31That'll be five cents.
00:21:32Okay, great.
00:21:33Oh, no, I've got it.
00:21:34I've got it here.
00:21:35Yeah.
00:21:37No.
00:21:37Uh, here.
00:21:41You still carry change?
00:21:44Yeah, benefit of being old-fashioned.
00:21:46Hmm.
00:21:47That's a funny-looking nickel.
00:21:49Is it real?
00:21:50Does this thing still-
00:21:51Oh, I wouldn't do that.
00:21:53I am so sorry.
00:21:54Oh, don't be.
00:21:55It happens all the time.
00:21:56Oh.
00:21:58Let me.
00:21:58Okay.
00:21:59Oh, okay.
00:22:01Don't worry.
00:22:01I've got it.
00:22:05One day-
00:22:06I'm going to replace that silly carousel.
00:22:11You know, I couldn't help but notice you don't have anyone helping around here.
00:22:16Do you afraid I can't afford much of a wage? And besides, no one-
00:22:21in town knows how to run a litter press.
00:22:23I do.
00:22:25You do?
00:22:26Yeah, my, uh, my grandma actually taught me.
00:22:31Well, isn't that something?
00:22:34But-
00:22:35Well, I couldn't possibly ask-
00:22:36you to work for next to nothing.
00:22:38Well, maybe instead of a wage, I could stay in a spare room if-
00:22:41you have one.
00:22:42Well, as a matter of fact, I do.
00:22:44I have a small bedroom downstairs with the-
00:22:46day bed.
00:22:48Are you sure that'll do?
00:22:51I'm positive.
00:22:55I think that's-
00:22:56That's a great idea.
00:22:58Especially since I already have a place to stay in town.
00:23:00Oh, this-
00:23:01is truly an answered prayer.
00:23:03Managing the shop alone has nearly run me off my feet.
00:23:05I haven't even had-
00:23:06time to finish decorating for Christmas.
00:23:08Oh, well then let me help you get started with that right now.
00:23:11That'll be dandy.
00:23:16Oh, well then let me help you get started with that right now.
00:23:20Oh!
00:23:21Look at how you left.
00:23:22Oh, those are interesting garments.
00:23:25I don't-
00:23:26I don't mean to be too forward, but do you have anything a bit less eye-catching to wear?
00:23:31While you work.
00:23:35Um-
00:23:37Unfortunately, these are the only kinds of clothes we have.
00:23:40Don't have a lot of change.
00:23:41left over.
00:23:42Oh, it's no problem at all.
00:23:43I'll take care of it.
00:23:44I volunteer at the Salvation Army store.
00:23:46just down the street.
00:23:47The shop closes for lunch in 10 minutes.
00:23:49Maybe the three of us could pop over and find you-
00:23:51something more fitting.
00:23:54I would love that.
00:23:56I'm not much of a shopper, but I think the two of us-
00:24:01you should go for sure.
00:24:02Give me some time to bond.
00:24:06I think so, too.
00:24:08I think so, too.
00:24:10Nothing like the f-
00:24:11thrill of a good find.
00:24:13It's been a while since I've been shopping.
00:24:15It's kind of nice.
00:24:16You know what?
00:24:17Me neither.
00:24:18Shall we make the most of it, then?
00:24:19Mm-hmm.
00:24:21Too dull.
00:24:25No, no.
00:24:25Too stiff.
00:24:26Too boring.
00:24:29Now you're catching on.
00:24:32Oh, what do we have here?
00:24:34Oh!
00:24:36Now this is something.
00:24:38I usually go for something a little more practical.
00:24:41We were made to be the light of the world, right?
00:24:43No harm in dressing the part.
00:24:46No harm in dressing the part.
00:24:47Oh, it's nice, honey.
00:24:48Cool.
00:24:51I usually don't let anyone do my hair.
00:24:54I figured.
00:24:56You don't like letting people take care of you, do you?
00:24:59Well, I just think when you-
00:25:01leave things up to other people, there's a bigger chance they'll mess it up.
00:25:05And heaven forbid someone-
00:25:06gets it wrong.
00:25:08Sounds rather exhausting having to hold it together yourself all the time.
00:25:11Well, it's better than the alternative.
00:25:16Shall we?
00:25:16Yeah.
00:25:17You don't agree?
00:25:21Since-
00:25:21Since the war, keeping the shop has been a struggle.
00:25:25Sometimes I'm not sure I'll fit-
00:25:26figure it out.
00:25:28The truth is, I-
00:25:29I can't hold it together myself.
00:25:31Well, if it's such a struggle, why don't you sell it?
00:25:36The thought has crossed my mind on harder days.
00:25:41But no.
00:25:43Because even when I can't hold it together, God can.
00:25:46You showing up and offering to work?
00:25:50That was his pro-
00:25:51vision.
00:25:57Have you always been like this?
00:25:59You're still so young and-
00:26:01you just trust that God will take care of everything?
00:26:04Well, I'm far from perfect and I-
00:26:06definitely do have my days of doubt.
00:26:10Well, I guess-
00:26:11I guess it all started when the depression hit.
00:26:14It was a frightening time to be a child.
00:26:16Pantry was nearly empty and my father took any job he could.
00:26:20But it wasn't enough.
00:26:21And then just before Christmas, my parents gave what little we did have to a family who had even-
00:26:26less.
00:26:27They did?
00:26:29And I remember thinking-
00:26:31Well, why couldn't God just provide for both families?
00:26:33Why would he provide for one and not the other?
00:26:36And then Christmas morning came.
00:26:39And sitting on my doorstep was a full-
00:26:41Christmas meal that our church had made.
00:26:43Oh, it was ham, butter, sugar-
00:26:46things I hadn't seen in years.
00:26:49But you know what the best part was?
00:26:51Sitting on top of all of that was a doll that I had wanted for two years.
00:26:56I never dreamed I'd have it.
00:26:58It was in that moment that I realized God always-
00:27:01provides.
00:27:02Even when he takes away, he provides more in return.
00:27:06And so that night, I sat at the table and wrote my first hiding to thank God.
00:27:11Not bad for someone else doing it.
00:27:16Not bad for someone else doing it.
00:27:17I don't know.
00:27:21Not bad for someone else.
00:27:21Not bad at all.
00:27:26Not bad at all.
00:27:31Well, would you look at that.
00:27:32Time has a funny way of slipping by when you're having fun.
00:27:36Hi, Bennett.
00:27:37Hello.
00:27:39Lunch is over and I best get back to the shop.
00:27:42Don't feel like you have to hurry.
00:27:43Oh, I'll be right behind you.
00:27:44And thank you, Joy.
00:27:45This was really nice.
00:27:47Yes, we've been much quieter.
00:27:48Wow, we look great.
00:27:50I didn't...
00:27:51I didn't want you to feel left out.
00:27:52Given your enthusiasm for all things old-fashioned, I figured you'd appreciate it.
00:27:56A little something from 1945.
00:27:58Wow.
00:28:00That was...
00:28:01It's really thoughtful of you.
00:28:02I'm sure you would have done this for you.
00:28:04Well, let's see.
00:28:06Since it looks like you have everything all figured out here with Joy, I'm gonna change
00:28:10and then...
00:28:11scout the town a bit.
00:28:12Scout for what?
00:28:13Maybe I'll ask around and see if I can find someone called...
00:28:16your girlfriend.
00:28:17Well, just...
00:28:18be careful.
00:28:19Okay?
00:28:20Yeah, we will.
00:28:21Don't worry.
00:28:22I won't wander too far.
00:28:23Unless, of course, someone mistakes me for Cary Grant and begs me to...
00:28:26start in one of their movies.
00:28:27Well, good luck with your big Hollywood dream.
00:28:31Well, good luck derailing your grandmother's dream.
00:28:36It takes part to get up!
00:28:37I got to say, okay, how I'm gonna do it.
00:28:38I'm gonna keep going.
00:28:39I'm gonna go.
00:28:40Okay?
00:28:41Good luck.
00:28:42Good luck.
00:28:43I'm gonna do it!
00:28:44I'm gonna do it!
00:28:45I'm gonna do it!
00:28:46Okay?
00:28:47Alright, come on.
00:28:48Since I'm in a bit of adventure, I'm gonna leave.
00:28:49I'm gonna go.
00:28:50Yep.
00:28:51Bye.
00:28:53Bye!
00:28:54Bye!
00:28:55Bye!
00:28:56Bye!
00:28:57Bye!
00:28:58Bye!
00:28:59Bye!
00:29:00Bye!
00:29:01Bye!
00:29:02Bye!
00:29:03Bye!
00:29:04Bye!
00:29:05Bye!
00:28:41First things first, a tidying should meet a person where they're...
00:28:46The right words at the right time.
00:28:49Exactly what I was going to say.
00:28:51But before the message, you have to find the right picture.
00:28:54An image speaks volumes.
00:28:56Before anything is ever read, you're already saying something.
00:28:59Love, care, celebration.
00:29:02Joy, you are so gifted.
00:29:04You could really expand your talent.
00:29:07How do you mean?
00:29:08Well, marketing is my specialty.
00:29:10I could have...
00:29:11To help you find ways to share your art and your way with words.
00:29:14To make a real living off of it.
00:29:16You could even travel with it to see the world.
00:29:20Well, I appreciate it.
00:29:21Your offer.
00:29:22Truly.
00:29:23But...
00:29:24I love my little post.
00:29:25It's more than enough.
00:29:26For me.
00:29:27Do you see Matthew over there?
00:29:29He goes to my church.
00:29:31When I asked if he needed help, he seemed a little jumpy.
00:29:34My guess?
00:29:35He's about to propose to a sweet...
00:29:36Sweetheart.
00:29:37He oftentimes has trouble finding the right words, so we need a...
00:29:41To find a message that will say it perfectly.
00:29:43That explains why he's been here so long.
00:29:47He doesn't know this, but...
00:29:48When he was fighting in the war, I helped his girl make personal ties...
00:29:51To find him.
00:29:52So, in a way, I feel I played a small part in their love story.
00:29:56Watch this.
00:30:01He's coming.
00:30:02I knew he'd come to the guilty man.
00:30:03Tell him, I can give his boy a little bit.
00:30:04I'm not Sorry.
00:30:05I'm not sure.
00:30:06I'm not sure.
00:30:07I'm a psychologist.
00:30:08I'm not sure.
00:30:09I'm not sure.
00:30:10You're a real journalist.
00:30:11You know, you were probably shit.
00:30:12You're a pretty common man.
00:30:13You're an idiot.
00:30:14You're a guy.
00:30:15Not sure.
00:30:16You're a guy.
00:30:17You're an idiot.
00:30:18You're a guy.
00:30:19You're a former man.
00:30:20You're a guy.
00:30:21You're a villain.
00:30:22You're a vaguely.
00:30:24You're a little guy.
00:30:25You're a guy.
00:30:26You're a guy.
00:30:27You're a guy.
00:30:28You're a guy.
00:30:29I'm a guy.
00:30:30for the moment I see a person's face light up,
00:30:32even for just a second,
00:30:34knowing that I made a difference.
00:30:35Are you ready to check out, Matthew?
00:30:40Indeed.
00:30:40Indeed.
00:31:41You know, growing up, I watched my grandmother sacrifice over...
00:31:46and, well, it just hurt my heart.
00:31:51Knowing how much she gave and could still barely get by.
00:31:56Well, I know the feeling.
00:31:58I watched as my brother was first in town to enlist when we went...
00:32:01to war and gave up everything for the cause.
00:32:06Your brother?
00:32:07I don't talk about him much.
00:32:10Didn't seem...
00:32:11It was unfair.
00:32:12Especially because he had his...
00:32:14his whole life ahead of him.
00:32:16Watching that kind of sacrifice, it...
00:32:22It changes you.
00:32:24It does.
00:32:25It makes you see...
00:32:26things differently.
00:32:28Especially money.
00:32:31You know, I...
00:32:33I know you don't think money's the point, but...
00:32:36in business it is.
00:32:38Oh, it's not that I'm against making money.
00:32:42But...
00:32:43when my brother shipped out...
00:32:44he left me everything he'd saved.
00:32:46He said money doesn't follow us when we go, so...
00:32:49if he didn't make it back...
00:32:50I should...
00:32:51I should use it to create something that would...
00:32:53stand the test of time.
00:32:57Oh, so you opened this shop.
00:33:00So I...
00:33:01started writing tidings of...
00:33:02comfort and joy.
00:33:04And I'd like to think I infused...
00:33:06everyone with a bit of his love and...
00:33:07legacy.
00:33:11Yeah.
00:33:12Yeah.
00:33:13Yeah.
00:33:14Yeah.
00:33:15Yeah.
00:33:16Yeah.
00:33:18Yeah.
00:33:19Yeah.
00:33:20Yeah.
00:33:21Yeah.
00:33:21Yeah.
00:33:22Yeah.
00:33:23Yeah.
00:33:24Yeah.
00:33:25Yeah.
00:33:26Yeah.
00:33:27Yeah.
00:33:28Yeah.
00:33:29Yeah.
00:33:31Yeah.
00:33:31What are you doing?
00:33:33Oh, I'm making a coloring book.
00:33:36Must be miserable not being able to play with the other children.
00:33:41Hopefully a Christmas gift will cheer him up.
00:33:46That's a week's worth of work. You're just... giving away.
00:33:50I...
00:33:51I can always make more.
00:33:56I can't wait.
00:33:57I can't wait.
00:33:58I can't wait.
00:33:59I can't wait.
00:34:00I can't wait.
00:34:01I can't wait.
00:34:02I can't wait.
00:34:03I can't wait.
00:34:04I can't wait.
00:34:05I can't wait.
00:34:06I can't wait.
00:34:07I can't wait.
00:34:08I can't wait.
00:34:09I can't wait.
00:34:10I can't wait.
00:34:11I can't wait.
00:34:12I can't wait.
00:34:13I can't wait.
00:34:14I can't wait.
00:34:15I can't wait.
00:34:16I can't wait.
00:34:17I can't wait.
00:34:18I can't wait.
00:34:19I can't wait.
00:34:20I can't wait.
00:34:21I can't wait.
00:34:22I can't wait.
00:34:23I can't wait.
00:34:24I'm sitting here.
00:34:25Oh, there's a little thing.
00:34:29You
00:34:34Well give me an hour fellas
00:34:37By the time I'm back
00:34:39The shop will be settled
00:34:44I'll see you down the road
00:34:46I'll see you down the road
00:34:48You
00:34:59Joy, what is this ledger for?
00:35:05Oh, it's a list of the free tidings of comfort and joy that I send.
00:35:09Free?
00:35:09Well, to the soldiers, their wives, and of course...
00:35:14Any widows?
00:35:15After what they've been through, it's the least I could do.
00:35:17I don't know.
00:35:17I don't know.
00:35:17I don't know.
00:35:18I don't know.
00:35:19Well, you know you're never going to get ahead if you keep giving things away all the time.
00:35:24That's how the world wants us to think.
00:35:27That's not how God works.
00:35:29He sees me.
00:35:31He knows what I need even when I don't.
00:35:33He's given me everything necessary to open the shop and what's needed to keep it going.
00:35:38I want all these men and women to know that God sees them too.
00:35:42He knows what I want.
00:35:45He knows what I want.
00:35:47He knows what I want.
00:35:47We have a customer.

00:36:22town, Mr. Whitmore. Well, thank you. And please, call me Fred.
00:36:27I wanted to stop by in person because, well, you haven't responded to any of our letters.
00:36:32Well, that's because I have no interest in a Whitmore-sized business swallowing up what
00:36:36I've built here.
00:36:37Hmm. Well, I think you misunderstand, Joy. My family...
00:36:42...specializes in helping local shop owners like yourself make a smooth...
00:36:47...transition and thrive.
00:36:50I think you're misunderstanding me.
00:36:52Mr. Whitmore. What I've built here is thriving. Perhaps not by your standards, but...
00:36:57It is by mine.
00:36:59It's no small feat surviving the last four...
00:37:02...for four years. Shops like yours will face challenges like never before.
00:37:06Many won't...
00:37:07...make it through. The change is ahead.
00:37:09Let us take the burden from your hands.
00:37:12And make sure what you've built lasts for years to come.
00:37:17You make a compelling argument, Mr. Whitmore.
00:37:22But respectfully, my answer is no.
00:37:27Huh.
00:37:32Well, she...
00:37:37Should you reconsider, my office address is on the card.
00:37:42Have a good day, Mr. Whitmore.
00:37:44You too.
00:37:47You too.
00:37:48You too.
00:37:49You too.
00:37:50You too.
00:37:51You too.
00:37:52Yeah.
00:37:52Joy, don't you think it's worth at least...
00:37:57...caring him out?
00:37:58Well, I have no need.
00:37:59I've seen what the way more family has done to shops around town.
00:38:02They don't care about the customer.
00:38:03They don't care about the customer.
00:38:04They only care about profit.
00:38:05But Fred's offer could change...
00:38:07...everything for you.
00:38:08Well, how do you know what Fred's offering?
00:38:10Do you know...
00:38:12Do you know him?
00:38:13Uh, no.
00:38:14No.
00:38:15Not personally.
00:38:16I've just heard his name.
00:38:17Before.
00:38:18Well, from Chicago?
00:38:19He has a reputation for giving fair...
00:38:22...their deals.
00:38:23Life-changing ones.
00:38:24I want his money, Ally.
00:38:27But Fred said that Tidings of Joy is in danger.
00:38:30And if he can guarantee that it keeps...
00:38:32...making an impact, well, you could take the money...
00:38:34...and pay off your bills.
00:38:37I think this is a sign.
00:38:39You know, Fred coming in here today...
00:38:41...right after you...
00:38:42...well, Fred said...
00:38:43...God knows what you need...
00:38:45...even when you don't.
00:38:47Fine.
00:38:48I'll hear him out.
00:38:49Fine.
00:38:50I'll hear him out.
00:38:51But not...
00:38:52...at some fancy office.
00:38:53If he wants to meet, it'll be tomorrow at 8am...
00:38:55...at the diner, where I have breakfast...
00:38:57...every morning.
00:38:59Mr. Whitmore!
00:39:03And what he's doing....
00:39:04Let's do...
00:39:05Even more
00:39:07I can't tell you two how much I appreciate the help.
00:39:10Glad to be of service.
00:39:12Now, if you eat all the popcorn, there won't be any left for the tree.
00:39:16Perhaps there's because...
00:39:17there's no string left.
00:39:18I'll go grab some more.
00:39:21I still...
00:39:22I still can't believe she's meeting with him tomorrow.
00:39:25Yeah, she obviously...
00:39:27I trust you, so the bond that you two share must transcend time.
00:39:32I just hope that she trusts Fred.
00:39:34Yeah, I wouldn't...
00:39:36What if she doesn't?
00:39:37My grandmother is a stubborn woman, and it's not just her future that's at stake.
00:39:41This is our ticket.
00:39:42Maybe I should...
00:39:45What?
00:39:48I can't believe you just threw popcorn at me.
00:39:51How about now?
00:39:53What's your problem?
00:39:56I need to get out of here.
00:39:57in the middle of your head.
00:39:58Let tomorrow worry about itself.
00:40:00You've done everything you can for today.
00:40:01I...
00:40:02You get this chance to decorate with your grandma for Christmas again.
00:40:07You could enjoy it.
00:40:08You're right.
00:40:12You're right.
00:40:13I am right.
00:40:16Well, I hope that tree...
00:40:17I don't know where's the popcorn as well as you do, Ellie.
00:40:19I don't know where's the popcorn as well as you do, Ellie.
00:40:20I don't know where you are, Ellie.
00:40:21I don't know where you are.
00:40:22I love the air.
00:40:27Perfect.
00:40:30It's amazing what a little Christmas cheer.
00:40:32It's funny, isn't it?
00:40:34We're always rushing around, and then suddenly you add some decoration.
00:40:37And then everything feels right.
00:40:38I'll go wash up.
00:40:41Wow.
00:40:42Cookie?
00:40:43Yes, please.
00:40:48Ah.
00:40:51You know...
00:40:52I just realized we've been through a pretty significant life event together.
00:40:56Hmm.
00:40:57Time travel?
00:40:58Yeah.
00:40:59Time travel.
00:41:00And I still don't know...
00:41:02I don't know a single thing about you.
00:41:05Oh, well, I could say the same thing.
00:41:06I don't know...
00:41:07I don't know anything about you either.
00:41:09It's true.
00:41:10All right.
00:41:11I'll go first.
00:41:12What would you like to know?
00:41:12Why does it bother you so much that I want to sell the shop?
00:41:17I just have this thing about people taking something pure and turning it into something...
00:41:22It was never meant to be.
00:41:24Sounds personal.
00:41:27Yeah.
00:41:28Growing up in my family, Christmas was all about appearance.
00:41:33Fancy parties.
00:41:34Tuxedos that I hated.
00:41:35Piles of gifts that nobody...
00:41:37Everybody needed.
00:41:38And of course, I'd go to school.
00:41:40There'd be this kid...
00:41:42That got one gift and he was happier.
00:41:45His family had tradition.
00:41:47And real moments of connecting.
00:41:49Christmas for them wasn't just about...
00:41:52showing off how profitable your year had just been.
00:41:56I'm sorry.
00:41:57Those...
00:41:57Those are your memories.
00:41:58Don't be.
00:41:59Taught me to be different.
00:42:00Instead of doing f***ing.
00:42:02Finance.
00:42:03And what my parents wanted.
00:42:05I do what I love.
00:42:06Illustration.
00:42:07Your whole old-fashioned persona makes a whole lot more sense now.
00:42:11I bet you think...
00:42:12I'm one of those guys who drinks tea out of a tin cup and calls dinner supper.
00:42:16Aren't you?
00:42:18Oh, yeah.
00:42:19Yeah, I guess I am.
00:42:21I just think...
00:42:22That when people can go back and decorate and do things together like string...
00:42:27Popcorn, that...
00:42:28It connects us to our past and it helps us to enjoy the present moment.
00:42:32Even more.
00:42:33Even more.
00:42:37Here.
00:42:38Yeah.
00:42:40Yeah.
00:42:41Yeah.
00:42:42Yeah.
00:42:42Bennett, that is really beautiful.
00:42:47Well, I say you've done plenty for your first day, Allie.
00:42:50And thank you kindly for your help, Bennett.
00:42:53Why don't the two of you enjoy the evening?
00:42:55It's lovely out.
00:43:00Well, if you're a CEO...
00:43:02Why do you need to figure out every detail
00:43:04of the launch strategy by yourself?
00:43:06Well...
00:43:07Because if I don't and something goes wrong, it's on me.
00:43:13Interesting.
00:43:15What?
00:43:16I just find it fascinating.
00:43:17Somebody who spent their entire career helping people connect
00:43:20finds it so difficult to receive help.
00:43:23Well, I built the company from the ground.
00:43:26I convinced...
00:43:27It's investors.
00:43:28I hired a team.
00:43:29They left stable jobs to take a...
00:43:32a chance on this, so...
00:43:34If the startup fails, it's...
00:43:35It's not just me who loses it.
00:43:37It's them.
00:43:38Their livelihoods.
00:43:39Their families.
00:43:41I just don't...
00:43:42trust...
00:43:43anyone else enough to...
00:43:45care about the launch as much as I do.
00:43:47Right?
00:43:48I get it.
00:43:49That can be...
00:43:50scary.
00:43:51I just want to take the right risks.
00:43:52Right.
00:43:53Unlike your grandmother.
00:43:54Yeah.
00:43:55Ali, you know, you don't need to carry the weight...
00:43:57of everybody else's struggles just because...
00:43:59you couldn't take hers away.
00:44:01It's people...
00:44:02who work...
00:44:03at your company.
00:44:04That's not something happening to them.
00:44:07They chose it.
00:44:08Just like you did.
00:44:12I don't know about you, but time traveling is exhausting.
00:44:15Gonna go get some sleep.
00:44:17Oh, you never told me where you were staying.
00:44:19Yeah, I found this, uh, empty apartment.
00:44:22Don't worry.
00:44:23Us old-fashioned guys know how to defend ourselves.
00:44:25See ya.
00:44:27Bye, Bennett.
00:44:28Goodnight.
00:44:32Bye, Bennett.
00:44:37Bye, Bennett.
00:44:38Bye, Bennett.

00:44:48Bye, Bennett.
00:44:49Today's the day.
00:44:52Bye, Bennett.

00:45:14Bye, Bennett.
00:45:15Bye, Bennett.
00:45:17Bye, Bennett.
00:45:18Bye, Bennett.
00:45:19Bye, Bennett.
00:45:22Bye, Bennett.
00:45:23Bye, Bennett.
00:45:24Bye, Bennett.
00:45:25Bye, Bennett.
00:45:27Bye, Bennett.
00:45:28Bye, Bennett.
00:45:30Bye, Bennett.
00:45:31Bye, Bennett.
00:45:32Bye, Bennett.
00:45:33Bye, Bennett.
00:45:34Bye, Bennett.
00:45:35Bye, Bennett.
00:45:37I think I'm just nervous.
00:45:39You can still switch if you want.
00:45:40No, no, no.
00:45:41I don't want Joy to...
00:45:42I need this meeting to go well.
00:45:44Why didn't she invite you along for moral support?
00:45:47Oh, you invited yourself, didn't you?
00:45:53I couldn't help it.
00:45:54But she was very happy I offered.
00:45:57Wow.
00:45:58So what's happening?
00:46:01Uh...
00:46:02He's schmoozing and she's smiling.
00:46:04She's smiling.
00:46:05Mm-hmm.
00:46:06That's good.
00:46:07What about now?
00:46:12Oh, we should probably order.
00:46:14Oh, don't worry.
00:46:15I know you don't have a lot of...
00:46:17There's no change left.
00:46:20Welcome to the Swizzle and Fizz.
00:46:22William.
00:46:22What do you have?
00:46:23I'll have whatever the Christmas special is.
00:46:26Today's is the Merry...
00:46:27the Merry Maple Muffin.
00:46:28Oh, yeah.
00:46:28We'll do two of those.
00:46:30And that'll be all.
00:46:31Okay.
00:46:37She's laughing now.
00:46:40Oh, okay.
00:46:41If she starts...
00:46:42playing with her necklace,
00:46:43it's a telltale sign.
00:46:44She's retreating,
00:46:45so look out for that.
00:46:46Because then...
00:46:47we might have to intervene.
00:46:52Yeah.
00:46:55Uh-oh.
00:46:57What?
00:46:57She's playing with her necklace.
00:46:59What?
00:47:02Would like to get better off?
00:47:05Eh-eh-eh-eh-eh.
00:47:07You. You're not really a big fan of trusting the process, are you?
00:47:11No.
00:47:12That is my grandmother's specialty, not mine.
00:47:15You know, you're actually more-
00:47:17You're more like than you think.
00:47:18What makes you say that?
00:47:20I mean, for starters, you're in tech.
00:47:22Right? She's in retail, but both of you help people stay more connected.
00:47:26Oh.
00:47:27I guess I never thought about it like that.
00:47:30I see now how much you care.
00:47:32About your grandmother having a better life.
00:47:34And the way that you talk about people who work for-
00:47:37For you, it is obvious how much you care about them.
00:47:41Like, you want to make a-
00:47:42Real difference and help people.
00:47:46That's exactly what you-
00:47:47Your grandmother did.
00:47:50For what?
00:47:52For seeing the heart behind my methods.
00:47:57Oh, you already thanked me again.
00:48:01What?
00:48:02Why?
00:48:03Come with me.
00:48:05Grab the muffins.
00:48:06Oh.
00:48:07Oh.
00:48:08Oh.
00:48:09Oh.
00:48:10Oh.
00:48:10Oh.
00:48:11Oh.
00:48:11Oh.
00:48:12Well, I must say Fred, this morning has been most unexpected.
00:48:16Ah, yeah.
00:48:17I'm so hungry.
00:48:17I didn't do the show, but I'm glad I did.
00:48:20We're going to know this.
00:48:22They're not noticing.
00:48:25You've completely brightened and otherwise done.
00:48:27All morning.
00:48:28So, Joy, do I dare hope for the answer?
00:48:31I've been-
00:48:32Waiting for?
00:48:36Well.

00:48:40So, is that a yes?
00:48:42Yes.
00:48:44I would be delighted to be your date for Christmas Snow Dance.

00:49:37uh-oh
00:49:42Oh, my God.
00:49:47Oh, this must be that Christmas.
00:49:52You're going to need a little more information.
00:49:54This is the Christmas that my grandfather came home from fighting.
00:49:57Oh, I wish I paid closer attention to the...
00:50:02...details of my grandparents' love story.
00:50:04Okay, I remember that my grandma...
00:50:07...had said he shared a kiss that changed everything at Christmas time.
00:50:12And that it was a magical moment, like they were in a snow globe and...
00:50:16...and there was something about dancing.
00:50:21Oh, my God.
00:50:25Oh.
00:50:26Oh.
00:50:26Oh.
00:50:27Oh.
00:50:27Oh.
00:50:27Oh.
00:50:27Oh.
00:50:28Oh.
00:50:32Oh.
00:50:33Grandmother goes to the dance with Fred.
00:50:35She's not gonna kiss my grandfather.
00:50:38Which means they won't fall in love, which means...
00:50:43I...
00:50:48Won't exist.
00:50:52Oh, please tell me you saw which way he...
00:50:53Went.
00:50:56He's going.
00:51:02Ah, that way.
00:51:03Okay, quick question.
00:51:05What exactly is the plan here?
00:51:07Oh, simple.
00:51:08We tell him to kick Fred to the curb.
00:51:10Dance with joy.
00:51:11The Christmas snow dance.
00:51:13The magical night.
00:51:14Kiss her in what feels like a snow globe moment.
00:51:16So they can fall in love, have...
00:51:18My father.
00:51:19Eventually I'll be born.
00:51:20And then I can travel back in time to convince her to sell the shop.
00:51:24Okay, so no plan then.
00:51:25Right.
00:51:26I saw the look in my grandmother's eye.
00:51:28Nice.
00:51:29She could end up burying Fred.
00:51:31My entire existence.
00:51:33Depends upon the next five minutes.
00:51:36No pressure.
00:51:38Hear that?
00:51:41See that?
00:51:43Oh, my God.
00:51:45Love...
00:51:48familiar?
00:51:51You...
00:51:57How long are you still in front of me?
00:52:01Thank you, sir.
00:52:03Uh, how's the family?
00:52:05Oh, they keep me on my...
00:52:06What about those?
00:52:08My youngest is fixing to get married,
00:52:10so it's been a whirlwind planning the wedding.
00:52:11Well, congratulations.
00:52:13Hang tight a minute.
00:52:15Let me grab your mail.
00:52:16I'll be right with you, too.
00:52:18Take your time. We're just browsing.
00:52:21Get inside.
00:52:23Let's go back to the house.
00:52:25Let's go back, let's go back.
00:52:27Let's go back to the house.
00:52:29Now I'm going back to the house.
00:52:31We're not going to have to doğr.
00:52:33We'll throw on our wife.
00:52:35There's no idea.
00:52:37We're going to have to need to move on our wife's wife.
00:52:39Let's go back to the house.
00:52:41We'll talk about the house.
00:52:43There's no idea.
00:52:45That's how the house is.
00:52:47I, uh, saw her today with some fellas.
00:52:52Looked pretty sharp and fancy suit.
00:52:55Oh, you talk about Fred Whitmer.
00:52:58He's been sniffing around her shop lately.
00:53:00Came in just this morning to buy...
00:53:02...two tickets to the Christmas snow dance.
00:53:07So what's next for you now that you're home?
00:53:13Something about re-enlisting.
00:53:15But he didn't re-enlist.
00:53:17It just didn't happen.
00:53:19Looks like that might be changing.
00:53:22But you just got back, son.
00:53:24Still plenty of work to be done overseas.
00:53:26Rebuilding.
00:53:27Helping put things back together.
00:53:29Making sure it doesn't all fall apart again.
00:53:32Are you sure this isn't about something or someone else?
00:53:37I just don't think there's anything left here for me anymore.
00:53:42I gotta let my commanding officer know by tomorrow.
00:53:44If I do re-enlist, promise to say goodbye before I...
00:53:47...go.
00:53:50We miss...
00:53:52you around here while you were gone George and I reckon we'll miss you again
00:53:57if you leave I think the world kept turning just fine without me
00:54:02you
00:54:07You cannot let your grandfather reenlist if he doesn't.
00:54:12Who knows how long he's gonna be gone for.
00:54:14I know, I know, but I have to get him to that dance.
00:54:17We also need tickets for us.
00:54:20We have to make sure this kiss actually happened.
00:54:22Yeah, but they're $5, we don't have any cash.
00:54:24Yeah, actually we do.
00:54:27Hi.
00:54:28Three tickets to the dance, please.
00:54:30Hi.
00:54:32Hey.
00:54:33There you are.
00:54:34Thank you so much for your change.
00:54:38Have fun, Kate.
00:54:40You're welcome.
00:54:42Where did you get the money?
00:54:46When my great-grand-
00:54:47When my parents first moved to town, the first thing they did,
00:54:49they bought this upscale apartment building.
00:54:51The family lived-
00:54:52They lived on the top floor and they rented out the rest of the building.
00:54:55Now on the ground floor, there was this apartment.
00:54:57that we kept for guests and was furnished.
00:54:59There's this trick window around the back.
00:55:02It just never really closes properly.
00:55:04Okay.
00:55:05And so as a kid, I used to-
00:55:07I used to sneak in there all the time.
00:55:08It was my favorite place to draw, to paint.
00:55:12So that's where I slept last night.
00:55:14And this morning when I was put in the apartment-
00:55:17back, I found two tins under some linen in the cabinet.
00:55:20Yeah.
00:55:21That's amazing.
00:55:22Yeah.
00:55:23Wait, your family lives here?
00:55:25Why didn't you talk-
00:55:26Why didn't you talk-
00:55:27Why didn't you tell me that earlier?
00:55:31Because, um-
00:55:32My grandfather is Fred Whitmore.
00:55:35My grandfather is Fred Whitmore.
00:55:36My grandfather is Fred Whitmore.
00:55:37What?
00:55:38So you're not the only one who's not going to exist-
00:55:42if we don't fix this.
00:55:43And you didn't think this was important enough to tell me before?
00:55:47I wanted to.
00:55:48I hate being associated with them.
00:55:52The minute somebody finds out I'm a Whitmore, it's all they see.
00:55:57I understand that.
00:55:58I-
00:55:59Now it all makes-
00:56:02It makes sense.
00:56:03The tuxes, the piles of Christmas presents-
00:56:07the-
00:56:08the family and finance obsessed with profits.
00:56:11Yes.
00:56:12I'm so sorry.
00:56:13I justified not telling you because I didn't think-
00:56:17it was something that you needed to know.
00:56:19My grandfather died when I was a kid and I only knew-
00:56:22I love him.
00:56:23I'm-
00:56:24I'm-
00:56:25really sorry.
00:56:28From now on, no more secrets.
00:56:30Deal?
00:56:33Deal.
00:56:36Bennett, we-
00:56:37we have to fix this.
00:56:38Okay.
00:56:39I'll take care of George.
00:56:41You had-
00:56:42go back and see if you can't convince George that she's back in the wrong horse.
00:56:45Okay.
00:56:46Okay.
00:56:47I'll take care of George.
00:56:48Bye.
00:56:49Bye.
00:56:50Bye.
00:56:51Bye.
00:56:52Bye.
00:56:53Bye.
00:56:54Excuse me, staff sergeant, can I give you a hand-
00:56:57with that?
00:56:58Oh, sure.
00:56:59Appreciate it.
00:57:00Yeah, it's-
00:57:02kind of you to do this.
00:57:03Well, somebody's got to.
00:57:06Might as well be-
00:57:07Right.
00:57:08Uh, name's George, by the way.
00:57:11I-I'm Bennett.
00:57:12It's good to meet you.
00:57:13Listen, the real reason I came over here is-
00:57:17I saw what happened at the diner.
00:57:19With Joy.
00:57:20Oh.
00:57:22Was not that obvious?
00:57:23Oh, let's just say, everyone's rooting for the two of you to get together.
00:57:27They are?
00:57:28Yeah.
00:57:29You kidding me?
00:57:30You guys are destined for the altar.
00:57:31Oh.
00:57:32What?
00:57:33Well, I guess it's no surprise I've been sweet on her since high school.
00:57:37With his-
00:57:37Must have been to the point I could barely stream together a sentence when I was around
00:57:40her.
00:57:41But-
00:57:42She doesn't-
00:57:42She doesn't see me like that.
00:57:43Not yet.
00:57:44But trust me, George.
00:57:45She will.
00:57:46See my girl work-
00:57:47She works with Joy.
00:57:48And between you and me, that guy Fred, not the guy for her.
00:57:52Well, Fred's got everything going for him.
00:57:54Yeah.
00:57:55Fancy suits.
00:57:56So-
00:57:57She's got success the whole nine yards.
00:57:59And she said yes to dance with him.
00:58:01And she said yes to dance with him.
00:58:02So-
00:58:03You just got home from fighting in a world war.
00:58:06Risked your life-
00:58:07Every single day for something greater than yourself.
00:58:10And you're gonna stand there-
00:58:12And tell me-
00:58:13That all it takes is some guy running around in a fancy suit to back you down?
00:58:17Well, you put it like that-
00:58:22You go to that dance.
00:58:25Get her back.
00:58:27But...
00:58:28So-
00:58:29That's was a good thing-
00:58:30It's good to keep Jesused.
00:58:31사용 for something-
00:58:33If you have any questions, please.
00:58:34Help!
00:58:35Give us a phone-
00:58:36Chocolate, he said it next.
00:58:37It-
00:58:38Talk about it.
00:58:39Chef получится.
00:58:40Chef-
00:58:42It's a free interview.
00:58:45engineering.
00:58:47Chef-
00:58:48My...
00:58:49Chef Zheng-
00:58:51açık ahead.
00:58:52Brothers Company Ov-
00:58:54B происходит
00:58:54There it is a process before
00:58:56Eleemahi aztica
00:58:57But is charm early enough?
00:59:00Well, I suppose not, but...
00:59:02I'm excited to get to know him better at the dance.
00:59:04Maybe if it goes well, he'll court me.
00:59:07Oh, I...
00:59:07I don't think that's a good idea.
00:59:09Why not?
00:59:10That sure is a change of tune from yesterday.
00:59:12You were singing his praises.
00:59:14Well, I said that he's a great guy.
00:59:16I...
00:59:16I didn't mean...
00:59:17And that he's the guy for you.
00:59:19Why wouldn't he be?
00:59:22I get the sense that you want the kind of love that you write about in your tidings.
00:59:27You know, the kind that doesn't burn bright then fade, but one that lasts.
00:59:32And sometimes that kind of love is found with someone you least expect.
00:59:37Well, that's exactly it.
00:59:39My conversation with Fred was so unexpected.
00:59:42I misjudged him at the shop, and I shouldn't have done that.
00:59:46Who knows?
00:59:47Maybe we could have that kind of love.
00:59:49Only time will tell.
00:59:52But Joy, don't you think that mixing business and romance is risky?
00:59:57You know, if things don't work out, it could complicate everything, and...
01:00:01Well, I think you...
01:00:02You should take his offer and just walk away before it gets messy.
01:00:06Who was that?
01:00:07What you worried about?
01:00:08Oh, Allie, I won't muddle the two.
01:00:10No matter what happens between...
01:00:12Me and Fred personally, the shop will be a private matter.
01:00:16Oh.
01:00:17Someone's at the door.
01:00:19Hello.
01:00:20The shop's closed, but can I help you?
01:00:22Are you Joy?
01:00:24I am.
01:00:25Is everything all right?
01:00:27Yes.
01:00:27I don't want to keep you.
01:00:30I just want to thank you.
01:00:32We've never met, but my name is Opal, and this is the tidying.
01:00:37You sent me after my husband passed in the war.
01:00:41Your words...
01:00:42Your words were a lifeline in my darkest hour.
01:00:45I thought I couldn't go on.
01:00:47And I know I'm not the only one, there are plenty of military wives around here who would say the same.
01:00:52When the way forward isn't clear, God has...
01:00:57There's a way of sending us just what we need.
01:01:02I know I'm not the only one, there are plenty of military wives around here who would say the same.
01:01:03I don't know.
01:01:04I don't know.
01:01:05I don't know.
01:01:06I don't know.
01:01:07Oh
01:01:12Oh
01:01:17Oh
01:01:22Where is he?
01:01:27Oh
01:01:32He's in his cocks
01:01:34Just another reminder that he's in his cocks
01:01:37Just another reminder that he's in his cocks
01:01:37I can give her the kind of life I'm still struggling to build
01:01:39Yeah but you can give her something
01:01:42And that he can't
01:01:44Your heart
01:01:46Look at her
01:01:47She's having the time of her life
01:01:49She's having the time of her life because she's dancing
01:01:52Not because she's with Fred
01:01:53Now you go
01:01:57Get out there
01:01:57It's now a bad time to tell you have two left feet
01:02:00What?
01:02:02I'm not a good dancer
01:02:03If I go out there I'll make a fool out of myself compared to someone like Fred
01:02:06You're
01:02:07You're in uniform
01:02:08How can you embarrass yourself?
01:02:11Hang tight
01:02:12I'll be right back
01:02:17Well in the words of Cary Grant himself
01:02:22Gee you are the most beautiful girl in the room
01:02:24Well you polish up pretty nicely
01:02:27I'll be right back
01:02:28Thank you

01:02:31Almost got cold feet
01:02:32Oh well that's okay at least he's here
01:02:34Why is he just standing there?
01:02:37I think you need some courage
01:02:39Come with me
01:02:40Thank you
01:02:42Thank you
01:02:43Thank you
01:02:44Thank you

01:04:40Oh, my God.
01:04:41Oh, my God.
01:04:17Bennett!
01:04:19I think he's gone.
01:04:22Oh, this is all my fault.
01:04:27All I ever wanted was for my grandmother to have a better life.
01:04:32You know, one that I thought she deserved.
01:04:34And instead, I've...
01:04:36I've gone a completely...
01:04:37I ruined everything because I thought I knew better.
01:04:39You wanna know why I care so deeply about...
01:04:42tidings of joy?
01:04:44I took the job there because growing up your grandmother was the...
01:04:47only person in town that told my grandfather no.
01:04:51Every...
01:04:52single business in town, Cade.
01:04:54But your grandmother...
01:04:56she stood strong.
01:04:58That takes...
01:04:59guts...
01:05:01courage and...
01:05:02trust in God.
01:05:04Everything that I wanted to believe that people were capable of.
01:05:08Everything that I wanted to believe...
01:05:10I was capable of.
01:05:12I need a minute.
01:05:16I'll be...
01:05:17I'll be back.
01:05:22I'll be back.
01:05:26You keep the change.
01:05:27I'll be back.
01:05:28I'll be back.
01:05:29I'll be back.
01:05:31I'll be back.
01:05:32My grandfather always said a man could command an
01:05:37entire room just by wearing a tux grandfather
01:05:42That's a smart man
01:05:46Have we met before?
01:05:47You look a little familiar
01:05:49Not yet
01:05:50One please
01:05:52Thank you
01:05:57You're a girl Eve Early?
01:06:00Yeah
01:06:01Not all of us
01:06:02Can pull off a fairytale romance like you and your dance partner
01:06:06Don't
01:06:07Don't get me wrong
01:06:08She's a fine girl
01:06:09But this is more of a business opportunity
01:06:13She's got a stubborn streak
01:06:14I'll give her that
01:06:15But everyone comes around
01:06:17Sooner or later
01:06:19It won't work
01:06:20I beg your pardon?
01:06:22Joyce Smart
01:06:24You twirling around on the dance floor is not going to make her change her
01:06:27Mind on keeping the shop
01:06:29If you want her business
01:06:31Or her
01:06:32Respect
01:06:33Then
01:06:34You need to
01:06:35Lead
01:06:36With honesty
01:06:38Trust me
01:06:39I learned that one the hard way
01:06:42Well with all due respect
01:06:46I know what I'm doing
01:06:47Thanks
01:06:52Is she turning on the other toe
01:06:54It's pretty funny
01:06:55It's hard to put on a month
01:07:08Your baby
01:07:10You come through
01:07:11ιαz wortome
01:07:13You're not going through
01:07:15My dad
01:07:16My dad
01:07:18My dad
01:07:20I'm sorry, Grandma.
01:07:25I know I'm too late, but I'm so sorry I was wrong.
01:07:30I was so wrong.
01:07:35I was so sorry.
01:07:40I was so sorry.
01:07:45I was so sorry.
01:08:30Where's Fred?
01:08:32Where are my grandparents?
01:08:40I
01:09:10Oh, I was starting to think I was going to close this place up all by myself.
01:09:15Sorry, I went back to the shop.
01:09:17I just needed a minute alone.
01:09:19I get it.
01:09:20Well, you were gone.
01:09:21I tried to talk to Fred, but it just fell on deaf ears.
01:09:25Now the dance is over.
01:09:26Well, lucky for us, my grandparents didn't fall in love.
01:09:30Or kiss at the dance.
01:09:32And how's that lucky for us?
01:09:35Follow me.
01:09:40All right, so...
01:09:45Tell me, what does this have to do with your grandparents?
01:09:47Here, I want you to stand in here.
01:09:49Oh, okay.
01:09:50Do you remember I told you how my grandparents fell in love?
01:09:53Yeah?
01:09:54That they had a kiss?
01:09:56That Christmas time, after dancing...
01:09:58Yeah.
01:09:59In a moment that felt like a snow globe?
01:10:01Mm-hmm.
01:10:03Mm-hmm.
01:10:04Wow, how did you figure that out?
01:10:07Remember, my grandma always...
01:10:09Have that newspaper framed on the wall?
01:10:11Yeah, the one by the desk.
01:10:13It featured a photograph...
01:10:14...of the Christmas snow dance.
01:10:16When I first got to the shop, I took a picture.
01:10:19And I zoomed in on it.
01:10:21And I realized Joy and George...
01:10:24...aren't photographed.
01:10:26Because they were never at the dance.
01:10:29Wait, if they were never at the dance, why do they have a framed picture of the article?
01:10:32There was a column in the corner...
01:10:34...that honored the shop for its impact on the community.
01:10:38Oh.
01:10:39Plus, my grandfather, he just came back from the war.
01:10:42There's no way he would have...
01:10:44...been able to afford tickets on his own.
01:10:46That's true.
01:10:46We bought him that ticket.
01:10:48Yeah, exactly.
01:10:49He was so thoughtful.
01:10:50You know, if he couldn't buy those tickets...
01:10:53...he would have made the evening...
01:10:54...he would have made the evening special in his own way.
01:10:56And this is where he...
01:10:59...we always planned to take her.
01:11:02Okay.
01:11:03So now I'll...
01:11:04...all we gotta do is find a way to get them here.
01:11:09...
01:13:35Good morning.
01:13:36Joy.
01:13:37I have to tell you something.
01:13:38Oh.
01:13:39The advice I gave you about selling.
01:13:42I was wrong.
01:13:43You have to tell me.
01:13:44You have to keep this shop.
01:13:45It's not just a business.
01:13:46It's you.
01:13:47It's the way you make money.
01:13:49people feel.
01:13:50It's the way you remind them that they matter.
01:13:53And without you.
01:13:54You hear this town.
01:13:55It wouldn't be the same.
01:13:57Don't ever.
01:13:59Don't ever let anyone else's idea of what's best pull you away from what God is around.
01:14:04You've already placed in your hands.
01:14:07You know, I spoke to Fred last night.
01:14:09after the dance.
01:14:10He was up front about why he asked me to be his date and why.
01:14:14He's so keen on buying tidings of joy.
01:14:17Fred made some sound business arguments.
01:14:19And I appreciate his honesty.
01:14:21But though I value Fred's good business sense.
01:14:24I trust God more than the market forecasts.
01:14:27I know in my heart I'm meant to keep this.
01:14:29shop.
01:14:30I am so glad to hear you say that.
01:14:34Oh, I have an idea.
01:14:35I have an idea.
01:14:39So I don't know what you said to him, but he took your advice.
01:14:44I just reminded him that a straight path in business is better than a crooked shortcut
01:14:48every time.
01:14:49So you told him to be honest with her.
01:14:51Yeah.
01:14:52Oh, hello Bennett.
01:14:53Hello.
01:14:55How does this sound?
01:14:58Thank you for your-
01:14:59generous offer, Fred.
01:15:00But I've decided to decline.
01:15:02I hope you have a Merry Christmas.
01:15:04Sincerely joy.
01:15:05Yeah.
01:15:06It's perfect.
01:15:07Great.
01:15:08Oh.
01:15:09Just one last thing.
01:15:12Wait.
01:15:13How-
01:15:14What if my grandmother keep the tidying in the glass case all these years if she gave
01:15:18it to Fred back then?
01:15:19Wait.
01:15:20What if my grandmother aren't gonna have it?
01:15:21I love it.
01:15:22My grandmother's grandmother, it's good before it is rich.
01:15:23Maybe she doesn't want you to live in a book maybe.
01:15:24Like this time.
01:15:25I don't know if I'm crazy, it's good for more years.
01:15:27And I don't know that one night because i thought it was good for Sarah.
01:15:30Where are you on that?
01:15:32Because I'm nice.
01:15:34Are you talking to say I Smith's gost of, what do you explain to this long?
01:15:47Come with me.
01:15:50And you can't be swayed?
01:15:53My mind's made up.
01:15:55Good.
01:15:57I was hoping you'd say that.
01:15:59Really?
01:16:01I just got...
01:16:02I got word about a substantial grant.
01:16:04My bank awards to one shop at the end of each year.
01:16:06Aren't you...
01:16:07You're usually buying up local shops, not donating to them.
01:16:11Well, every year my...
01:16:12Family finds a way to give something back to the community.
01:16:15The recipient is chosen based on...
01:16:17On nominations from the town and...
01:16:19This year...
01:16:21Tidings of Joy.
01:16:22Was unanimously selected.
01:16:25Thanks to the women...
01:16:27And servicemen...
01:16:28That were so touched by all the tidings of comfort and joy that...
01:16:32You gave away...
01:16:34During the war.
01:16:37The grant is enough to keep your shop going.
01:16:40Joy!
01:16:43I can hardly believe it.
01:16:46That is...
01:16:47Very...
01:16:48Very...
01:16:49Very...
01:16:50Kind of you.
01:16:51Keep this.
01:16:52As a reminder to never lose sight...
01:16:54Why this shop matters and...
01:16:57And the difference you make.
01:17:01Thank you, Fred.
01:17:02Your children.
01:17:04I hope you all have a Merry Christmas.
01:17:07You take care, Fred.
01:17:12You take care, Fred.
01:17:13You take care, Fred.
01:17:14You take care, Fred.
01:17:15You take care.
01:17:16I'm so excited.
01:17:17To tell George the news.
01:17:18I'll be back soon.
01:17:22You take care, Fred.
01:17:23To tell George the news.
01:17:24You take care, Fred.
01:17:25You take care.
01:17:26You take care.
01:17:27That's...
01:17:27I think that might be our cue to start heading back home.
01:17:30Oh, so soon?
01:17:32Oh, I wish we didn't have to leave, but...
01:17:37Yeah, we need to get back to Chicago.
01:17:39And now that you have the grant, you can hire someone to help you.
01:17:43I'm gonna miss you.
01:17:45Oh, I'm gonna miss you, too.
01:17:47I'm so happy we got the chance to meet.
01:17:52Well, I best get back to Chicago.
01:17:57George, before the storm arrives.
01:17:59Safe travels to you.
01:18:00Merry Christmas, Joy.
01:18:02Bye, Joy.
01:18:03Goodbye, Ali.
01:18:08Ali.
01:18:10I like that name.
01:18:13And don't forget to latch the door on your way out.
01:18:15And be sure to drop by the next time you're in...
01:18:17in Indiana, alright?
01:18:23Bye.
01:18:27I sure hope that
01:18:32This works.
01:18:34Only one way to find out.
01:18:37Wait.
01:18:39Close your eyes first.
01:18:40Hmm?
01:18:42Trust me.
01:18:47God, I know you're in control, so please bring us back safely.
01:18:52Amen.
01:18:56Okay.
01:18:57Now we're ready.
01:19:03Go get me.
01:19:04Go get me.
01:19:07Go get me.
01:19:07Oh, my God.
01:19:12I'm just going to pour you up tonight.
01:19:17Did it work?
01:19:23It looks like it.
01:19:25Welcome back to present day.
01:19:27Christmas snow dance.
01:19:32Look at this.
01:19:34That's us.
01:19:36Ah.
01:19:37Ah.
01:19:38Ah.
01:19:39Ah.
01:19:39Ah.
01:19:42Ah.
01:19:43Ah.
01:19:44Ah.
01:19:45Ah.
01:19:46Ah.
01:19:47Ah.
01:19:48Ah.
01:19:50Ah.
01:19:52Well, I did something this weekend I should have done weeks ago.
01:19:56I brought on a launch.
01:19:57And the team has come up with an entire list.
01:20:02It's a really new approach because I've realized that when you do what's predictable.
01:20:07You'll never do anything remarkable.
01:20:09The strategy I built was to safe.
01:20:12And if we launched that way, we would have been just another app shouting in an overcrowded
01:20:17mic.
01:20:17You can see on your faces, you're all wondering, what happened to Allie over the weekend?
01:20:22My grandmother left me an old...
01:20:27Christmas shop that I nearly sold because I've always thought it was irrelevant.
01:20:32But something happened over the weekend that made me realize why people continue...
01:20:37to go back all year round, year after year.
01:20:41My grandmother...
01:20:42My grandmother gave without expecting anything in return.
01:20:45My grandmother gave without expecting anything in return.
01:20:47And because of that, she left a lasting impact.
01:20:52My grandmother gave without showing ought to anyone...
01:20:53My mother had this great thing.
01:20:54My grandmother gave without expecting anything...
01:20:56I knew...
01:20:56My grandmother gave without...
01:20:57My grandmother gave without headache.
01:20:58cast ball AB5
01:21:05The human wholyn had gone higher and that made me more
01:21:15customers will get an initial membership for free. No strings attached, no hidden
01:21:20fees. We invest in them before they ever invest in us.
01:21:25And we'll partner with Tidings of Joy, the company that inspired this strategy.
01:21:30I know, it's risky. But sometimes...
01:21:35Stepping out in faith. Choosing to trust even when you can't see the outcome.
01:21:40Could be the very thing that leads to something greater.
01:21:45We don't want to be just another app. We want to redefine what connection...
01:21:50really means. The launch team will tell you about the specifics.
01:21:55Okay.
01:22:00I love this new side of you. The strategy, the launch...
01:22:04I knew you had...
01:22:05I knew you had it in you.
01:22:06Well, I'm getting used to it myself.
01:22:08Well, it suits you. You even look different.
01:22:10Lighter. Like someone who finally lets someone wrap her Christmas presents.
01:22:15Oh, okay. Who's making you smile like that?
01:22:17Oh, it's nothing. It's just the Tidings of Joy.
01:22:20It's just the top manager.
01:22:21Wait! The guy who doesn't know how to text guy?
01:22:24Yeah, that's the one.
01:22:25Okay, now I really love this new side of you.
01:22:28Okay, no. It's not like that. It's just...
01:22:30He's a friend.
01:22:31Uh-huh, and yet you're smiling at your phone like it just hung mistletoe over your head.
01:22:35So, when are you leaving?
01:22:40To Indiana?
01:22:41Come on, don't act like you're not already planning the job.
01:22:45Give me that life drive.
01:22:46When are you leaving?
01:22:47That's right.
01:23:12when I got here.
01:23:13You know, the old-fashioned way.
01:23:14Uh, how did it go?
01:23:17It went exactly how it was supposed to.
01:23:20Really?
01:23:21Mm-hmm.
01:23:22Last-minute overthinking or anything?
01:23:24Didn't need to.
01:23:26Look at you.
01:23:27Oh.
01:23:28Oh.
01:23:29Oh.
01:23:30Oh.
01:23:31Oh.
01:23:32Oh.
01:23:32We should probably get to work.
01:23:34Right.
01:23:35Yeah, I'll go, uh, I'll go get some.
01:23:37Supplies.
01:23:38Okay.
01:23:39Or we could start with supper.
01:23:43Well, supper, huh?
01:23:45Yeah.
01:23:46Well, I drove all the way here.
01:23:47The least you could do is have dinner with me.
01:23:50Yeah.
01:23:51I'd like to-
01:23:52I'm gonna go, uh, lock up.
01:23:56I'm gonna go, uh, lock up.
01:23:57I hope you have a blessed Christmas.
01:24:02May your every wish come true.
01:24:07Let the joy you feel in me.
01:24:12Once I'd be home for all.
01:24:17I hope you have a blessed Christmas.
01:24:22A blessed Christmas, like the good one.
01:24:27All days are yours.
01:24:30May your heart-
01:24:32May your heart be filled with all the seasons.
01:24:37May your heart be filled with joy.
01:24:38May your heart be filled with joy.
01:24:39May your heart be filled with joy.
01:24:40May your heart be filled with joy.
01:24:41May your heart be filled with joy.
01:24:42May your heart be filled with joy.
01:24:43May your heart be filled with joy.
01:24:44May your heart be filled with joy.
01:24:45May your heart be filled with joy.
01:24:46May your heart be filled with joy.
01:24:47May your heart be filled with joy.
01:24:48May your heart be filled with joy.
01:24:49May your heart be filled with joy.
01:24:50May your heart be filled with joy.
01:24:51May your heart be filled with joy.
01:24:52May your heart be filled with joy.
01:24:53May your heart be filled with joy.
01:24:54May your heart be filled with joy.
01:24:55May your heart be filled with joy.
01:24:56May your heart be filled with joy.
01:24:57May your heart be filled with joy.
01:24:58May your heart be filled with joy.
