00:08:08but sometimes I can't help myself
00:08:12well talk about breaking the law
00:08:15impersonating an overly serious officer
00:08:18I know
00:08:19you know I might have to get the phone number for your chief of police
00:08:22I'm not so sure would do you any good though
00:08:25you know he's got a bigger sense of humor than I do
00:08:30well in that case officer Williams
00:08:34call me Matthew
00:08:36officer Matthew

00:08:42well I wish we had met under less reckless conditions Kathy
00:08:46reckless?
00:08:48how fast was I going?
00:08:5151 in a 25
00:08:54that doesn't seem exceptionally reckless
00:08:56oh that's reckless
00:08:59it's a rental car
00:09:01well last time I checked
00:09:03reckless was reckless whether you own the vehicle or not
00:09:08well maybe if you check your instruments again
00:09:11you might see I was only going 35 in a 25
00:09:15or if you look really close you might see I was only going 25 in a 25
00:09:19huh
00:09:20human error
00:09:23that's an interesting thought
00:09:24well it doesn't have to be human error
00:09:26it could be the blossoming of early Christmas spirit
00:09:30sort of like a like a secret Santa gift
00:09:33except for an officer instead of a co-worker
00:09:37yeah something like that
00:09:41I'm gonna need your license and registration ma'am
00:09:57it's Kathy

00:10:13lovely
00:10:15oh what went wrong
00:10:16this town which loves me so much
00:10:19gifted me with a reckless driving ticket for Christmas
00:10:23that's not the town's fault
00:10:25I know it's my fault dad
00:10:27but that doesn't make it any better
00:10:28what were you two studying so intently when I came in
00:10:31your father and I are finalizing plans for the annual Christmas dinner
00:10:35this is gonna be the most amazing one we've ever had
00:10:38we have a very special guest coming this year
00:10:41you got Santa
00:10:42how did you pull that off
00:10:44I heard he was booked through the 25th
00:10:46ha ha
00:10:48I'm not gonna let you big city humbug
00:10:50infect my Christmas cheer
00:10:52you know I've never understood why you can't enjoy this season Kath
00:10:58Christmas has never been a really big thing for our family since we moved
00:11:03moved you here
00:11:05well that's because we never really appreciated the magic of Christmas until we moved here
00:11:10and you two got a good case of Christmas cheer when you moved us from DC to this little slice
00:11:16of americana
00:11:16also known as Holly Michigan
00:11:18but all I got was a new school for senior year and no friends
00:11:23it's the gift that keeps on giving
00:11:26you know if you could let it into your heart
00:11:29you might find you could love this town as much as we do
00:11:33yeah you might like it here and do the job you were meant to do
00:11:37you two have got to let that one go
00:11:39my life and my career are in New York
00:11:42but you're not doing what you love
00:11:45life is so much better when you do what you love
00:11:48instead of a job where you just go to work
00:11:50and you know that from a personal experience
00:11:53don't you former congressman Cutlenios
00:11:57look I'm not a chef
00:11:59I'm a food critic
00:12:01you're right you're not a chef
00:12:02you're more like a genius in the kitchen
00:12:06a genius mom really
00:12:08it's the truth
00:12:11you two are so sweet
00:12:12and I love that you think so highly of me
00:12:15but I'm a city mouse not a country mouse
00:12:18for now
00:12:19for always
00:12:23I need to take my stuff upstairs and get settled
00:12:25same room from high school right
00:12:27you know we haven't rented that room out yet
00:12:30at all for any dates this next year
00:12:33in case you might change your mind
00:12:35oh of course because that's what every 30 year old
00:12:39fiercely independent woman wants to do
00:12:40live with and work for her parents
00:12:43fierce independence isn't incompatible with doing what you love
00:12:47in a place that loves you back
00:12:49you two are insufferable
00:12:52I'm taking my stuff upstairs before you try and dress me in a Santa hat
00:12:55oh the Santa hat is on your dresser dear
00:12:58along with the notes for the tour
00:13:00no no no please no
00:13:02I haven't done that tour since I was 17
00:13:04and I hated it then
00:13:06you better go get those notes
00:13:08the tour starts in an hour
00:13:10you know child labor laws have been enforced since the 1800s
00:13:13just saying
00:13:15honey
00:13:16you're 30
00:13:17thanks for reminding me mom
00:13:19and we're country mice now
00:13:21and child labor laws they don't apply on a farm
00:13:26none of this is going to change my mind about Christmas or this town
00:13:30why would we want to change your mind?
00:13:33after all we did raise you to be a fiercely independent woman
00:13:38oh
00:13:40it's good to have her
00:13:43was he cute?
00:13:45yeah
00:13:46super cute?
00:13:49well yeah but that's not the point
00:13:51he was a total jerk
00:13:54at first he was nice but then

00:14:09five over
00:14:10mm-hmm
00:14:11he's a total jerk
00:14:14you should call him
00:14:17what?
00:14:17yes
00:14:18I see him do it all the time in the movies
00:14:20his number's on the back of the ticket
00:14:21no
00:14:22no I will not
00:14:24I will not
00:14:27I gotta go

00:14:51have a seat I'm still unpacking
00:14:54they are so happy to have you back for the holidays
00:14:57well you can't let them know but I'm happy to be back
00:15:02come up with any exciting new dishes I can steal I mean borrow from you lately
00:15:08I've actually been eating a lot more than I've been cooking
00:15:11still the food critic
00:15:13yes
00:15:15I'm with the magazine still
00:15:17but
00:15:18I'm up for a new job at the time
00:15:21you'd be the most influential critic in New York

00:15:26but
00:15:27I should know in a few days
00:15:28I'm happy for you
00:15:34you don't look it
00:15:35maybe not
00:15:36I just think you should be in the kitchen with a spatula
00:15:39instead of on the dining room floor with a pen
00:15:42do my parents pay you extra to be their double agent or do you just do that for free?
00:15:46oh I do it for free definitely
00:15:48well at least you're honest
00:15:51so look I wanted to invite you into the kitchen with me anytime while you're here
00:15:55there's room for only one chef in the kitchen Sandra
00:16:00except at Christmas
00:16:01and before you ask
00:16:02yes your parents do pay me extra to be this cheerful
00:16:06but you can't let them know
00:16:08I'd be this way for free even if they didn't
00:16:11well good
00:16:11we can both keep a secret from my parents
00:16:14I just wanted to give you an open invitation
00:16:17you can join me whenever you want
00:16:19I'll think about it
00:16:21don't think about it
00:16:21just do it
00:16:23okay chef Nike
00:16:25oh and if you happen to do a review on this place
00:16:29you'd better love my dishes
00:16:31you taught me everything I know Sandra
00:16:33how could I not?
00:16:34just remember
00:16:36I know where you're staying if you don't
00:16:56they haven't changed a word since high school
00:17:00the Holly Hotel was built in 1891
00:17:03it has always been a hotel and a restaurant
00:17:07the original owner was Mr. Hurst
00:17:10and ladies and gentlemen
00:17:14I believe I have a stalker
00:17:19someone needs to make sure the good people of Holly are safe from your cyclone of recklessness
00:17:28Grandma Williams and I would like to take the tour before we sit for dinner in this fine establishment
00:17:34Grandma Williams is perfectly capable of speaking for herself
00:17:40Sonny
00:17:43ooh Sonny I like that Grandma Williams
00:17:46do you mind if I call him that too?
00:17:48not at all
00:17:49he thinks he's the bee's knees because he gets to wear a badge
00:17:55but I remember when his badges were all made of plastic
00:18:00you have my permission to bring him down a peg
00:18:03well you know Sonny here gave me a ticket on the way into town this morning
00:18:08right before Christmas?

00:18:54follow me into the bar
00:18:56let's go to the bar
00:18:57this is the bar area
00:18:59now it has been said that Mr. Hurst
00:19:02the ghost of Mr. Hurst
00:19:04enjoys sitting in this very seat at night chatting it up
00:19:08there was a very tragic fire in 1913
00:19:13ownership then changed over
00:19:15the hotel was rebuilt
00:19:17and then almost to the exact day 65 years later
00:19:21there was another tragic fire
00:19:24follow me into the next room
00:19:26and this is the Alley Cat Club
00:19:28we host poetry
00:19:30open mic
00:19:31many great singers and bands
00:19:33and on the weekends we have comedy night
00:19:36tell her
00:19:37stop Dad that's embarrassing
00:19:39what's that?
00:19:40I'm actually going to be singing here on Christmas Eve
00:19:43that's wonderful news
00:19:45what about ghosts?
00:19:47legend has it there's actually two ghosts that live in the hotel with us
00:19:50you can always sense a presence
00:19:52sometimes you'll hear noises, voices, or see a shadow walk by
00:19:57Mr. Hurst is actually one of our most famous residents from the other realm
00:20:04do you smell that?
00:20:06Mr. Hurst was a very heavy cigar smoker
00:20:09and some say you can actually catch a hint of it when you're down here
00:20:12all I smell is pine saw
00:20:16no doubt that's Mr. Hurst's lady of the house Nora
00:20:19she's another one of our prominent ghosts
00:20:22now if you don't mind let's head upstairs
00:20:26in addition to ghosts our hotel has hosted a sitting U.S. president
00:20:31you'll see here a picture of the president the first lady and my father back when he had hair
00:20:38during his reelection campaign in 1992
00:20:41the president actually made our hotel a stop on his train tour of the state
00:20:45I was in the dining room with him
00:20:48were you really?
00:20:50yes, he was one good looking man
00:20:54grandma
00:20:54well he was
00:20:58well, now if you don't mind follow me
00:21:01and this is our train car room
00:21:04everything you see here is authentic
00:21:06my father actually went to southern Ohio to get everything from a 1910 Pullman rail car
00:21:12we've had an abundance of wedding proposals here
00:21:16come on in and take a look
00:21:19and this is our hotel attic where we have six bed and breakfast rooms
00:21:24all of which are currently occupied so I do apologize I can't show them
00:21:30but if you follow me this way to one of our banquet rooms where we have weddings and other large
00:21:35parties
00:21:35we have an amazing dinner plan for you
00:21:42do you believe in all that ghost mumbo jumbo that thing?
00:21:46it makes for a fun story
00:21:48when I lived here in high school there were a few things that were not easily explained though
00:21:55I believe in ghosts
00:21:57Sonny here believes in everything
00:22:00he was 15 before I convinced him that there was no such thing as
00:22:03grandma
00:22:04what?
00:22:05don't say things like that out loud
00:22:08and make them come true
00:22:10well I think being a true believer is sweet
00:22:13true believers are great for dating
00:22:17but they're terrible at paying the bills
00:22:20I pay my bills
00:22:22including your dinner tonight
00:22:24Kathy, something happened
00:22:26we need you
00:22:27Sandra burnt her hand
00:22:28badly
00:22:29I don't think she could finish dinner tonight
00:22:31you have to take over
00:22:33I can't, I'm not prepared
00:22:36I'm trained in first aid
00:22:38where is she? I'll take a look
00:22:39in the kitchen, come with me
00:22:41your grandmother can stay, dinner's on us
00:22:45Kathy
00:22:46no, mom I can't
00:22:48William!
00:22:48he's a sous chef
00:22:50really more of a line cook
00:22:53he's not that good
00:22:54he'll be fine
00:22:57Kath, please
00:22:58mom, boundaries
00:23:05I knew we'd get out of paying the bill
00:23:07the whole
00:23:34How was dinner grandma williams?
00:23:36It'll pass. I could have done better.
00:23:41Well, the thing is...
00:23:43The thing is, I was there when it happened. I'm 90. I'm not stupid.
00:23:48Yes, ma'am. But the thing is...
00:23:52I don't need excuses, dear. I needed five-star food.
00:23:57I think you have a future in restaurant reviews.
00:24:00Future? When you get to be as old as I am,
00:24:04the future is all in the past.
00:24:08You want to talk about future?
00:24:11How do you feel about that grandson of mine?
00:24:15I... I don't know. I don't really know him.
00:24:21He's handsome.
00:24:24He's kind. And he's got a job.
00:24:28What's to know?
00:24:32Well, I... I don't... I don't know.
00:24:36Sit down. I'll tell you a few things about life.
00:24:40Oh, no. No, I can't. But...
00:24:43That wasn't a question.
00:24:44Sit.
00:24:54Speak of the devil.
00:24:56Angels appear?
00:24:59Nobody writing tickets two days before Christmas Eve
00:25:04can call themselves an angel.
00:25:07Yeah. But anyone who puts up with you for seven days a week sure can.
00:25:13Puts up. Puts up!
00:25:16Come a little closer, Sonny.
00:25:18I bet I can still lean you over my knee.
00:25:22Thank you for keeping Grandma company while I took Sandra to the ER.
00:25:26Sorry I couldn't dine her tonight, but...
00:25:29We're always on duty.
00:25:30Why don't you find your courage
00:25:32and ask this pretty girl out on a real date?
00:25:38Grandma.
00:25:39Yeah, why aren't you doing that, Officer Matthew?
00:25:42You are afraid of something, Sonny boy.
00:25:45Grandma, please.
00:25:47What are you going to tell me?
00:25:49Did you've got game and I'm ruining it for you?
00:25:53Got game?
00:25:55Seriously, Grandma, where do you come up with these things?
00:25:59If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be asking this young lady for a date.
00:26:06Are you asking me out on a date?
00:26:08I do all the work.
00:26:10He just stands in line and waits to get the prize at the bottom of the Cracker Jack box.
00:26:19Well...
00:26:21Um...
00:26:23Kathy?
00:26:24Just say yes, Missy.
00:26:26I'm going to expire before he gets around to asking you for a date.
00:26:32Okay.
00:26:33Fine.
00:26:33Yes.
00:26:34Why not?
00:26:36I would love that.
00:26:37See, Sonny?
00:26:38That's how you ask someone out on a date.
00:26:42Well, I better get her out of here before she finds a chapel and has us married.
00:26:46You should be so lucky.
00:26:48Yeah.
00:26:49Okay.
00:26:51Okay.
00:27:06Okay.
00:27:09Okay.
00:27:09Okay.
00:27:11Okay.
00:27:12Okay.
00:27:13Okay.
00:27:13Okay.
00:27:14Okay.
00:27:15Okay.
00:27:15Okay.
00:27:17Okay.
00:27:23But do you like him?
00:27:26I don't know.
00:27:28He was nice when I was giving the tour, but I hardly know him.
00:27:34This could be so great for you, Kathy.
00:27:36He could be the one!
00:27:38The one?
00:27:39Okay, stop, Danielle.
00:27:40That is not practical.
00:27:41I live in New York.
00:27:43Oh, no.
00:27:45Kathy, what did you text him?
00:27:47Hi, Matthew.
00:27:48It's okay.
00:27:49I think we both know that this isn't meant to be.
00:27:53But it was nice meeting you.
00:27:55Please give it another try.
00:27:58It was a nice daydream.
00:28:01While it lasted.
00:28:05Good night, Danielle.
00:28:19You went to bed rather early last night, didn't you?
00:28:21I am 30 years old, Mom.
00:28:23Do they ever get too old to worry about?
00:28:25If they do, I wouldn't know it.
00:28:27Why didn't you go out with that nice police officer?
00:28:30Well, he stood me up, actually.
00:28:32He what?
00:28:33No.
00:28:34Stood you up?
00:28:35Yeah.
00:28:36I got a text from him last night saying he had an emergency call or something.
00:28:40Oh, well, you know, he is a police officer.
00:28:43And very handsome.
00:28:45Did you see the way he took care of his grandmother last night?
00:28:48That boy's a keeper, Kat?
00:28:51Okay, I'm going to let him know that you two are interested.
00:28:54It's not often you find someone as grounded as he is.
00:29:22I'm going to let him know that you two are interested.
00:29:27I'm going to let him know that you two are interested.
00:29:32Okay.
00:31:51What are we doing here?
00:31:54I have it on good information.
00:31:57And you would like a meeting with the chief of police.
00:32:00Oh, a little birdie told you, huh?
00:32:03Something like that.
00:32:09Hey, Bob.
00:32:10Hey, Rob.
00:32:18Well, if it isn't my favorite, youngest officer, I am your only youngest officer.
00:32:27Doesn't mean you can't be my favorite.
00:32:29And who might you be?
00:32:30I'm Kathy.
00:32:32I'm Kathy.
00:32:32My parents actually own the Holly Hotel.
00:32:34George and Chrissy's girl.
00:32:36Yes, sir.
00:32:36Well, it's so nice to meet you.
00:32:38I will be sure to tell them we finally met when I come by for the annual Christmas Eve dinner.
00:32:43Yeah.
00:32:43Actually, Dad's got something super special planned.
00:32:46And so special that he won't even tell me what it is.
00:32:50Well, I can confirm that there is a national security element, actually, to the dinner this year.
00:32:57And it is going to be a very big deal for this town.
00:33:02National security?
00:33:03Probably shouldn't have said that.
00:33:05Do me a favor.
00:33:05Let's keep that just between us.
00:33:07And please don't tell your dad I said so.
00:33:09Your secret's safe with me.
00:33:11And as much as I enjoy entertaining new people in my office, what brings you in today on your day
00:33:17off, Matthew?
00:33:18Well, Ms. Cutlenios wanted to file a formal complaint with the police force, sir.
00:33:24Ms. Cutlenios, really?
00:33:26Well, I did say it was a formal complaint.
00:33:30What seems to be the trouble?
00:33:32There's no trouble, really.
00:33:33It's just, um, I just can't keep my lead foot off the accelerator is all.
00:33:39Let me guess.
00:33:40He caught you just coming into town.
00:33:43I was hiding behind the welcome sign.
00:33:46How many times have we had this conversation where we park in front of the sign, where the speed limit
00:33:52reduces?
00:33:53This is not to be a speed trap town.
00:33:56We want to welcome people when they come into town.
00:33:59So just how fast were you going?
00:34:02Fifty-one and a twenty-five.
00:34:05Fifty-one and a twenty-five.
00:34:07Well, it is a bit reckless.
00:34:10That's what I said.
00:34:11But still, it is Christmas.
00:34:15And if you do promise to obey all of the other laws and ordinances in our community, this is the
00:34:22citation he wrote you.
00:34:24Merry Christmas, Kathy.
00:34:26Merry Christmas, Chief.
00:34:30Kathy, it's amazing to finally meet you, and I'm sure I'll see you again soon.
00:34:34You as well, sir.
00:34:39Tell me something.
00:34:42Okay.
00:34:44Why do you stay in New York doing that food critic thing when everyone says you're so good at being
00:34:50a chef?
00:34:51You don't pull punches, do you?
00:34:53I can't.
00:34:54Too much of Grandma Williams blooded me.
00:34:57She does explain a few things about you, doesn't she?
00:35:00Well, good, I hope.
00:35:02Jury's still out, but I'm leaning in the good direction.
00:35:06You really think you got away without answering that question, don't you?
00:35:09Maybe I do.
00:35:11I'm afraid to answer.
00:35:15Why do people do what they do?
00:35:18I mean, it's hard to follow your dreams.
00:35:23You have to really believe in yourself.
00:35:26Think about it this way.
00:35:27How many people do you know in your life that draw really well?
00:35:34I don't know.
00:35:36Maybe like 10 or 15.
00:35:39And of those 10 or 15, how many of them have art hanging in a museum?
00:35:44You want your food to hang in a museum?
00:35:46Don't be silly.
00:35:48I'm sorry, I couldn't help it.
00:35:50Grandma Williams in you, I know.
00:35:54Are you saying your skills don't rise to a level of art?
00:35:57Ouch.
00:35:58Well, yeah, that's what I'm saying, but it hurts worse when you have to say it for me.
00:36:03Does it have to be art, though?
00:36:06What if your skill is good enough to make people happy?
00:36:11I need more.
00:36:13So what about you?
00:36:15Have you always dreamt of being a deputy on the Holly Police Force?
00:36:18I'm just a regular guy with a good heart.
00:36:23Except for when you're giving out speeding tickets right before Christmas.
00:36:26You're going 51 in a 25.
00:36:29That's reckless.
00:36:31I know.
00:36:34So you're saying you don't have any dreams?
00:36:41I didn't say that.
00:36:43Well, let's have it then, officer, before I have to publicly cite you for being as emotionally
00:36:47stunted as the rest of your gender.
00:36:54It's embarrassing.
00:36:55Oh, like admitting that I'll never be as good at the one thing I love as I want to be?
00:37:00Embarrassing like that?
00:37:03You got me.
00:37:05Let's have it then, officer, perfect.
00:37:08What are your dreams?
00:37:09I love this so much.
00:37:11Okay, tell me more.
00:37:12Go on.
00:37:14He said...
00:37:15I want to be a good husband and a good father one day.
00:37:21I want a house full of kids who can't get to sleep on Christmas Eve.
00:37:32I want to hold my best friend in the whole wide world's hand while we watch our children
00:37:41unwrap the presents on Christmas morning.
00:37:44That is the sweetest thing I have ever heard.
00:37:47Okay, keep telling me more.
00:37:48And I told him that he's amazing and so incredibly good looking.
00:37:54Yeah.
00:37:54And that I'm sure he's going to make someone so happy one day, but I just don't think that
00:38:01I'm the girl for him.
00:38:03And now you've ruined it.
00:38:05Dani.
00:38:06No.
00:38:06You've ruined my night, and you are literally ruining Christmas.
00:38:11Goodbye.
00:38:24You've got to stop doing that.
00:38:26If I knew how, I would.
00:38:29I have to hand it to you, though.
00:38:32Bringing Kathy back here, setting her up with Matthew.
00:38:36If you can pull it off, it will be your greatest Christmas miracle yet.
00:38:41They're right for each other.
00:38:43It will all work out in the end.
00:38:45That would be nice.
00:38:49And how have you been passing the endless time?
00:38:55I'm bored, Nora.
00:38:58Pull a wire here, and I pull a wire there.
00:39:02I just can't make heads or tails out of this modern technology.
00:39:06I never know which light I'm turning off.
00:39:11Well, how about pitching in and helping me help these two youngsters?
00:39:17Why not?
00:39:19We're a team, right?
00:39:21Like George and Chrissy.
00:39:23And Kathy and Matthew.
00:39:27This place makes love shine.
00:39:31Truer words, Nora, dear.
00:39:33Truer words.
00:39:35Shall we retire to the basement?
00:39:37We shall.
00:39:39I love you, Mr. Hurst.
00:39:42I love you, dear Nora.
00:39:56Hi.
00:40:00This is awkward.
00:40:02Maybe a little.
00:40:04It's nice to see you, though.
00:40:07What are you?
00:40:07My grandma's inside.
00:40:09She sent me a text asking me to join her for tea.
00:40:13Yeah, she's not inside.
00:40:17Are you sure?
00:40:19Oh, yeah.
00:40:20Actually, she just texted me and asked me to meet her on the front porch, something about
00:40:24going last-minute shopping.
00:40:26I see.
00:40:27Yep.
00:40:30So, here we are.
00:40:32Here we are.
00:40:34That was nice of you, though.
00:40:37What's that?
00:40:38Agree to take her shopping?
00:40:40You hardly know her.
00:40:43She's a nice lady.
00:40:45The best.
00:40:47She's also a pathological liar.
00:40:51She means well, though.
00:40:53So what now?
00:40:57Oh, boy.
00:40:59What?
00:41:02I think I have an idea.
00:41:05Yeah.
00:41:05Yeah.
00:41:06Yeah.
00:41:07Yeah.
00:41:09Yeah.
00:41:11Excuse me, sir.
00:41:13Is there any chance you were reserved by a Mrs. Williams?
00:41:17Absolutely not.
00:41:18I was sent from the beyond by Mrs. Hurst.
00:41:22Mr. and Mrs. Hurst.
00:41:23The ghost from Holly Hotel.
00:41:25Remember the tour?
00:41:26Ah, right.
00:41:29So.
00:41:31Grandma Williams.
00:41:32Grandma Williams.
00:41:33So are you going to climb on board, or do I have to go back to lighting candles when nobody's
00:41:38looking?
00:41:38May as well.
00:41:40Sure.
00:41:40Why not?
00:42:01It's cold out here.
00:42:08Just stay warm.
00:42:11What girl could object to warmth?
00:42:15It's a beautiful day.
00:42:17Glad to be spending it with you.
00:42:22Have you heard the forecast for Christmas yet?
00:42:27Yeah.
00:42:29It hasn't snowed here on actual Christmas in a few years.
00:42:34You must be a good luck charm for Holly.
00:42:39Just for Holly?
00:42:42Maybe me too.
00:42:53Nothing to say?
00:42:56Just enjoying the moment.
00:43:01I'm going to be totally honest with you.
00:43:04I don't really know what to say.
00:43:08I'm having a lot of thoughts, but I'm not so good at talking.
00:43:13You didn't seem to have that problem earlier when you painted the perfect picture of Christmas
00:43:18morning.
00:43:20That didn't work out so well for me, though, did it?
00:43:25I'm sorry.
00:43:27It's okay.
00:43:30Well, maybe you should tell me what it would be like with you.
00:43:34Maybe I'll dream about it when I'm in New York.
00:43:36A lot of Grandma Williams.
00:43:40Be serious.
00:43:42I am.
00:43:50Matthew?
00:43:52Yeah?
00:43:56What are we doing here?
00:43:58I don't know.
00:44:01But I'm not objecting to the warmth either.
00:44:04I leave from New York in a few days.
00:44:07Oh, I will deal with that when it happens.
00:44:10If we keep going down this path...
00:44:14I will have a broken heart, you sure?
00:44:20You won't be the only one.
00:44:22I've never been so happy to hear of a broken heart.
00:44:29Maybe we should just stop spending so much time together.
00:44:34Makes sense.
00:44:35Very rational.
00:44:38I mean, do you want to?
00:44:41No.
00:44:42I don't either, but we have to agree that this is only temporary.
00:44:47I mean, I have a job.
00:44:50Possibly my dream job as the lead editor at the Times.
00:44:54I mean, and my apartment.
00:44:56It's all in New York.
00:44:59I have a job.
00:45:00Maybe a new job.
00:45:02A new life.
00:45:03And then a place.
00:45:05But...
00:45:06I didn't hear you mention anything about having a life.
00:45:14I thought you said you were bad at talking.
00:45:17I have my moments.
00:45:37Kathy! Do you know where the...
00:45:40Oh, um...
00:45:41Sorry, I didn't see anything.
00:45:48Goodbye, Officer Perfect.
00:45:51Goodbye, Miss Perfect.
00:45:56I'm sorry.
00:45:59About what?
00:46:01About this.
00:46:03About everything.
00:46:05I shouldn't have almost...
00:46:06I shouldn't have led you on.
00:46:09I shouldn't have led myself on.
00:46:12I just need to rip Bandit off.
00:46:16I shouldn't have almost kissed.
00:46:22Goodbye, Matthew.
00:46:24Is it too good to be true?
00:46:27I want this so much, but don't know if I can trust you.
00:46:34My mind's raising fast, trying to find the red flags I'm used to.
00:46:42All these green lights, are they coming too soon?
00:46:46Caught between red and the green and you.
00:46:50I'm stuck in the blue.
00:46:52Matthew!
00:46:54Wait!
00:46:56What are you doing tomorrow?
00:46:57I don't know.
00:46:59Thought it might be a good day to alphabetize my spice rack.
00:47:07Name one spice that starts with the letter A and maybe I'll believe you.
00:47:15Alfalfa.
00:47:17Because everyone loves alfalfa on their steak and potatoes.
00:47:21You name a spice that begins with A.
00:47:23Arrowroot.
00:47:24Can you do B?
00:47:25Basil.
00:47:26C.
00:47:28Cinnamon.
00:47:28Can you do all of them?
00:47:31Oh yeah.
00:47:34How about Z?
00:47:42Zatar.
00:47:44Is that a real thing?
00:47:46Yeah.
00:47:47If you don't believe me, look it up.
00:47:51X.
00:47:53Xylocarp.
00:47:54Oh come on.
00:47:56That sounds like a prescription drug.
00:47:59Do you concede?
00:48:04Yes.
00:48:06Well, thank goodness because I thought you were going to ask me about Q.
00:48:11Q, right.
00:48:12Why didn't I think of that?
00:48:14Why don't you come out for lunch with me tomorrow?
00:48:20What happened to the band-aid thing?
00:48:26Should I bring my spice rack?
00:48:28Just the alfalfa.
00:48:38Nora, darling, you gave me quite a fright.
00:48:44You have never gotten used to the habit of me appearing and disappearing, have you?
00:48:49It's even more disconcerting now than when we were alive.
00:48:54When we were alive, it was just because you were not very good at paying attention to me.
00:48:59That's not true!
00:49:00When we were alive, I paid attention to nothing else but you.
00:49:05I know it, dear.
00:49:06I was trying to rile you.
00:49:09You were succeeding.
00:49:11I have been knowing you for over a hundred years.
00:49:15I have a secret map to all of your buttons.
00:49:19A hundred years.
00:49:21Has it truly been that long?
00:49:24It seems no more than a day.
00:49:27That's as sweet as what that boy said to that girl.
00:49:30Well, it's part of the magic of this place, isn't it?
00:49:34It is.
00:49:36Did you enjoy the carriage ride?
00:49:38Oh, it was a lovely evening, even if a bit chilly.
00:49:42And thank you for riding up front so I could sit in the back seat with them.
00:49:45We almost got her to say that she would stay.
00:49:49Well, she'll get there. Don't you worry.
00:49:52I am worried.
00:49:53She doesn't believe in herself yet.
00:49:56Well, she's cooking lunch for Matthew tomorrow. That's a good sign.
00:50:00How long has it been since she's graced our kitchens?
00:50:05Twelve years.
00:50:06Twelve years.
00:50:08That girl sure could cook.
00:50:09Yes, she can.
00:50:11She just needs to find the joy in it again.
00:50:14Well, that's what this place is all about.
00:50:18Exactly.
00:50:19Are you sure you know what you're doing?
00:50:22Have I ever been wrong yet?
00:50:25Don't answer that.
00:50:29Well, what about that job?
00:50:31We both feel it in the air. She is going to get it.
00:50:35The entirety of Christmas depends on it.
00:50:38Oh, I sure hope you know what you're doing.
00:50:41Don't I always?
00:50:44And don't answer that one either.
00:50:47Shall we go downstairs?
00:50:49We shall.
00:50:51Who's playing tonight?
00:50:52Oh, I don't know.
00:50:54It'll be a surprise for both of us.
00:50:56Ah.
00:51:08You got in late last night, didn't you?
00:51:11I am thirty years old, Mom.
00:51:13Do they ever get too old to worry about?
00:51:15If they do, I wouldn't know it.
00:51:17That young officer is so handsome.
00:51:21That boy's a keeper, Kathy.
00:51:23Okay.
00:51:24Happy Groundhog's Day to you, too.
00:51:26Make your list and check it twice.
00:51:32And we're done.
00:51:34That looks amazing.
00:51:37Presentation is important, but the real test is the taste.
00:51:41I have no doubts.
00:51:49I don't know what you call this, but it's amazing.
00:51:54I added a little extra alfalfa.
00:51:58You're not going to let that one go, are you?
00:52:00No.
00:52:01I'm going to hold on to that one for a while.
00:52:04Glad I could be of service.
00:52:09Speaking of service, I've said that word twice in front of my parents since I returned.
00:52:15And both times, they just started laughing and then said that they can't wait for the Christmas secret.
00:52:22Do you have any idea what has them so giggly?
00:52:26No.
00:52:27I think my captain knows, but I honestly don't.
00:52:33And why do they say secret every time I say service and then start laughing?
00:52:39I have no clue.
00:52:41You're much smarter than I am.
00:52:43I'll always be known as the sweet one in any conversation about us.
00:52:49Oh, there's an us now, huh?
00:52:52Well, technically, any time there's a we, there's also an us.
00:52:57I don't know if that comment made any sense or not.
00:53:00And that's what I have a talent for.
00:53:03Disguising the intelligence of my answers.
00:53:10Well, maybe I should just let myself be surprised.
00:53:16Well, I think of it like a Christmas present.
00:53:19Sure, you could shake the box and you might be able to figure out what's inside.
00:53:25But wouldn't it just be better to wait and unwrap it?
00:53:30I like that.
00:53:33It means a lot to my dad anyway.
00:53:36So let him have this.
00:53:42You know what we need?
00:53:44Grandma Williams to bust in here and publicly insult me
00:53:47until I find my courage to ask you to see me again tonight?
00:53:52That too.
00:53:53But I was thinking maybe we should go inside the kitchen
00:53:55and make some of the hotel's famous chocolate noose.
00:53:59Oh.
00:54:01That sounds fantastic.
00:54:05Mom!
00:54:06Dad!
00:54:08Hey!
00:54:09You kids enjoying your lunch?
00:54:11She is a wonderful chef.
00:54:13Don't I know it?
00:54:15I actually wanted to talk to you guys about that.
00:54:18As nice as William is, I think it's obvious that he's not going to be able to do the Christmas
00:54:25dinner.
00:54:26Well...
00:54:27No.
00:54:28No.
00:54:29No, he cannot.
00:54:31Well, I was thinking if the offer is still on the table, I would be the chef for the evening.
00:54:40Oh, honey, this is wonderful news.
00:54:43Kathy, you are seriously saving Christmas.
00:54:46This dinner is so important.
00:54:48You are saving the hotel.
00:54:50This is the best Christmas present.
00:54:56They certainly seem happy.
00:54:59Indeed.
00:55:00Me too.
00:55:02I'm actually looking forward to it.
00:55:05Can I ask you something?
00:55:07And no, beforehand I am actually being serious for once.
00:55:12Officer Matthew Williams, are you going to propose?
00:55:15No.
00:55:16We would need Grandma Williams' blessing for that.
00:55:19Oh, you're not going to get that.
00:55:21She doesn't think you're good enough for me.
00:55:25Give her time.
00:55:27She'll come around.
00:55:28So what were you going to ask me, Captain Sirius?
00:55:30Do you feel like there's been something pushing us together this Christmas?
00:55:36What, like some sort of Christmas magic?
00:55:41Yeah.
00:55:42Something like that.
00:55:44You know I don't believe in that stuff.
00:55:48How have we gotten so close in such a short amount of time then?
00:55:52I don't know.
00:55:53A magic of pheromones and facial symmetry, maybe?
00:55:59You are such a scientist.
00:56:01Reason first, I always say.
00:56:03I'm going to ask you something else.
00:56:05Okay.
00:56:06I don't want you to think.
00:56:08I just want you to feel.
00:56:11That's going to be a little difficult for me, but I'll try.
00:56:18Will you give us a chance?
00:56:22What do you mean?
00:56:24I mean, us.
00:56:26You and me.
00:56:29Will you allow what is happening to keep happening?
00:56:35Until we become all that we can be?
00:56:39I mean, we might be beautiful.
00:56:45We would be beautiful.
00:56:48Then let's try.
00:56:51I'd like that.
00:57:00Kathy, this is amazing.
00:57:02It's like you're living in a Christmas film.
00:57:04But all those movies are the same.
00:57:07Big city girl goes home for Christmas.
00:57:09To plan her wedding.
00:57:10Or run her parents' bakery.
00:57:12Where she falls in love with a guy.
00:57:15A veterinarian.
00:57:16Who wears flannel.
00:57:18But Matthew and I haven't gone on a date at a Christmas tree farm yet.
00:57:22There's always a Christmas tree farm in those movies.
00:57:24There is always tomorrow.
00:57:27How many of those movies have you seen?
00:57:29All of them.
00:57:30I see all of them.
00:57:32I don't doubt that.
00:57:34You have to admit, you love them too.
00:57:38Okay. Maybe I do.
00:57:54Hello?
00:57:56Is this Kathy Cutlenios?
00:57:57This is she.
00:57:59Hi, Kathy. This is Elaine from The Times.
00:58:01You interviewed with me last Friday.
00:58:03Uh, yes. Elaine. How are you?
00:58:05I'm very good.
00:58:06Also, I have some exciting news for you.
00:58:10Um...
00:58:11I've spoken with the other editors, and we've decided to offer you the job.
00:58:16That's... that's...
00:58:18I'm listening. I'm sorry.
00:58:20You don't seem very excited.
00:58:22No, I am.
00:58:24There's a new restaurant called the Villa Americana opening in Soho tonight.
00:58:28Now, I remember when you interviewed, you said you'd be visiting your parents this week, but we really need you
00:58:32back in town to cover the grand opening.
00:58:35Well...
00:58:35That's not gonna be a problem, is it?
00:58:38No. No, it won't.
00:58:40I'm sure your family will understand.
00:58:43This is the type of opportunity to further your career that doesn't come around that often.
00:58:47They'll understand.
00:58:50Then you accept.
00:58:51Yes, of course.
00:58:53Excellent. My assistant will book your flight right away, pack your bags, and head to the airport.
00:58:58Will do.
00:59:00Merry...
00:59:03Merry Christmas.
00:59:15He can't handle the Christmas meal.
00:59:18He's gonna screw it all up.
00:59:20Kathy has to do it.
00:59:21George.
00:59:24I'm so sorry.
00:59:27I really don't want to damning you guys like this.
00:59:31This is the most important thing that's happened to this hotel since we've owned it.
00:59:36I just... I don't think I can fly out in the morning. They're calling for feet of snow.
00:59:42George, stop making her feel bad.
00:59:45This is her dream job. We can't interfere with that.
00:59:54You're right. You're always right.
00:59:58I'm just a worrywart.
01:00:00And you know that.
01:00:02I've been that way since 2008 when the polls had me up by 10 points.
01:00:08And I still lost my seat because of that big blue wave.
01:00:14Sweetheart, this isn't an election. It's just a dinner.
01:00:17I don't know.
01:00:23Congratulations. I'm happy for you.
01:00:25I had to take the job. It's my dream job like you said.
01:00:29I'm sorry if I'm being selfish.
01:00:32Tell us about your new job.
01:00:35It's nothing really to say.
01:00:37It's what I've been working for the entire time I was in New York.
01:00:41I just can't believe it's finally coming true.
01:00:45Good things come to good people.
01:00:49Are you guys sure? Are you sure I'm a good person?
01:00:52Of course you are, honey.
01:00:55Absolutely.
01:00:56It's just that being here the last few days has really gotten to me.
01:01:03When we first moved here after Dad lost the election and when I was in high school, I just thought
01:01:09this place was horrible.
01:01:11Moving here from DC was like moving into a one-bedroom apartment from a mansion.
01:01:18I couldn't even breathe the air.
01:01:22But the last few days...
01:01:25With Matthew?
01:01:27With him.
01:01:29With you guys.
01:01:31This place.
01:01:33I finally feel like I...
01:01:36I came home.
01:01:38And I never felt like that when I was in DC.
01:01:41And in New York...
01:01:43That's just the place I thought I was chasing my dreams.
01:01:49And it just never felt like home no matter how long I lived there.
01:01:52And not like a Dorothy in her magic slippers type home.
01:01:56There's no place like home.
01:02:01No matter how far away from home you get, you can always come back to it.
01:02:07We love you.
01:02:08Yeah, I love you too.
01:02:14We love you.
01:02:14Thanks for listening.
01:02:37Hello Grandma.
01:02:39Coming in.
01:02:40And you don't knock anymore?
01:02:43I've been knocking.
01:02:45Hmm. Must be something wrong with my ears.
01:02:49I didn't expect you until it was time to go to the dinner.
01:02:53Well, things didn't work out the way I'd hoped.
01:02:57Did you let that girl get away?
01:03:00I didn't let her. She chose New York over me.
01:03:04Why did you give her a choice?
01:03:06What was I supposed to do?
01:03:09A kidnap her?
01:03:11If that's what it took.
01:03:14I can't always count on your sense of humor, Grandma.
01:03:18I wasn't joking.
01:03:20Her heart wasn't in this place.
01:03:23She sent me a text, Grandma. A text!
01:03:30Ma'am, thank you.
01:03:33Work called with a big promotion.
01:03:35I have to leave today.
01:03:36It was a pleasant dream while it lasted.
01:03:39Kathy.
01:03:41But Dexter, are you kidding me?
01:03:43I'm 90 years old.
01:03:45I know true love when I see it.
01:03:48Well, maybe you were wrong this one time.
01:03:51I'm never wrong.
01:03:55So what are you going to do about it?
01:03:57What can I do?
01:03:59She's on her way to New York right now.
01:04:04What?
01:04:05You want me to chase her down at the airport?
01:04:07A text?
01:04:08You sent me a text?
01:04:09You chased me down in a cop car and pulled me over.
01:04:13Matthew, don't act like I'm the crazy one.
01:04:16When is the last time you've been in love?
01:04:19Don't make this harder than it needs to be.
01:04:21I've been in love once.
01:04:23Right now, today, with you, that's it.
01:04:25So yeah, I'm out here, in the cold, outside my jurisdiction,
01:04:30abusing my police powers.
01:04:32But that's not crazy.
01:04:35Crazy is you driving off and pretending like you don't feel the same way.
01:04:40Don't make me cry, Matthew.
01:04:42I can't.
01:04:43Kathy!
01:04:45I'm sorry.
01:04:52Sail on, off the radar.
01:04:57And venture, away from this.
01:05:05Trouble, it'll find you.
01:05:10It's behind you.
01:05:13It always is.
01:05:17Unfold from my mind, I don't want you near.
01:05:23If you killed me with kindness, I'd no longer feel you here.
01:05:43Excuse me sir, we're not open yet?
01:05:45Maybe just one drink?
01:05:48You do look like you could use a friend.
01:05:51Come on in, pull up a stool.
01:06:11You're worried that you haven't been a very good father.
01:06:16Well, yes, as a matter of fact, how did...
01:06:20I doubt that it's true.
01:06:24It's true.
01:06:25We have two daughters.
01:06:29Victoria is a senior in college out in Colorado.
01:06:33She got snowed in this year, so she won't be joining us.
01:06:38But I was so excited when Kathy, my oldest, announced she was coming home.
01:06:45I didn't raise them here.
01:06:48Should have.
01:06:50Should have stayed in local government or business.
01:06:54But I ran for Congress and for 10 years, D.C. was their home.
01:07:01They didn't get the benefit of this town.
01:07:06Or a good father.
01:07:09They're doing well now though.
01:07:13I suppose.
01:07:15Kathy, my oldest.
01:07:16I know.
01:07:20Do I know you?
01:07:21Oh, we've been in the same room together many times.
01:07:25We just never really talked though.
01:07:28But enough about me.
01:07:29Kathy.
01:07:31She's on her way back to New York.
01:07:33She landed a big job writing for the Times.
01:07:36And you're not happy about it?
01:07:39I'm happy if she's happy.
01:07:42I'm just not convinced that she is.
01:07:47But I'm too old to tell her what to do.
01:07:50And she's too old for any fatherly advice.
01:07:54I love her so much.
01:07:57I just want her to have a good life.
01:08:02You're a good man, George.
01:08:04It's not too late.
01:08:06Everything will work out in the end.
01:08:07Trust me.
01:08:08This place, the town, and the people.
01:08:11They just have a way of changing us for the better.
01:08:16So, have you been to the hotel before?
01:08:19Oh, many times.
01:08:21Wrapping more than you.
01:08:25George!
01:08:27George!
01:08:27What are you doing?
01:08:29We, uh, we...
01:08:32We?
01:08:34There was a gentleman, uh...
01:08:35Honey, we have work to do.
01:08:37Come on!
01:08:39Let's go! The door's gonna open soon and we have to get ready!
01:08:41Okay.
01:08:55Oh come all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant
01:09:06Oh come ye, oh come ye to Bethlehem
01:09:16Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing
01:09:25Oh come let us adore Him
01:09:31Oh come let us adore Him
01:09:36Oh come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord
01:09:46Sing choirs of angels, sing in exultation
01:09:56Sing all ye ascenders of the heaven above
01:10:15Oh come let us adore Him
01:10:22Oh come let us adore Him
01:10:27Oh come let us adore Him
01:10:32Oh come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord
01:10:52Okay, um, we'll just keep the menu simple
01:10:56Grilled cheese
01:10:57Grilled cheese?
01:10:59Grilled cheese?
01:11:00Are you serious? This is Christmas dinner!
01:11:04And tomato soup
01:11:06Did we serve that warm or cold?
01:11:11It will be fine
01:11:14Sarah you can make our clam chowder soup
01:11:17Yeah, no problem
01:11:18Um, but Sandra usually samples it and then adjusts it a little bit
01:11:22But you know how to do it, so however it comes out tonight is how it comes out
01:11:26Okay
01:11:27William, you can make our special salads?
01:11:31Yeah, I've made that a hundred times
01:11:34Good, get to it
01:11:35Now, who knows how to roast duck?
01:11:40What if we put a ham in the grilled cheese?
01:11:46What is going on in here?
01:11:49Kathy?
01:11:50What are you doing here?
01:11:52Your plane should have left an hour ago
01:11:54It did
01:11:55I just recognized I don't need to take a plane to get home
01:12:00Okay, let's get this kitchen in order
01:12:02Mom, you and Dad take care of the dining room
01:12:04And I'll take care of this
01:12:06Oh, thank heavens
01:12:11Ladies and gentlemen
01:12:13Can we have your attention please?
01:12:16As you may know, we have two special guests joining us tonight
01:12:20And when we say special
01:12:21We mean very special
01:12:24Ladies and gentlemen
01:12:26Give a round of applause
01:12:27To the President
01:12:29And the First Lady
01:12:30Of the United States of America
01:12:32Hello, hello, how are you?
01:12:35How are you doing?
01:12:36You all right?

01:12:51So much
01:12:51How's everybody?
01:12:53You okay?
01:12:53How are you?
01:12:58It's been a while
01:12:59Ah, since 2008, sir
01:13:01You don't have to call me sir
01:13:03It's just Tyler
01:13:04You're the same guy that played cards with you in the basement every Saturday night
01:13:08Uh, yes sir, Mr. President
01:13:10Uh, Tyler, I'll try
01:13:14Chrissy, we really appreciate you having us here at your hotel
01:13:17Any time, Mr. President, it's an honor to have you
01:13:21It's Tyler
01:13:22Tyler
01:13:23All right
01:13:24You know, we miss you down in D.C.
01:13:28You really need good people down there
01:13:32Well, you know
01:13:34I was there 10 years and I think they had enough of me
01:13:38And, frankly
01:13:40I've had enough of D.C.
01:13:41Well, I have some cabinet positions opening up
01:13:44And I'd love to have a spot for you
01:13:48We're happy here, Tyler
01:13:49That's all right
01:13:50Anything changes, you let me know
01:13:52Will do
01:13:53No, your hotel
01:13:54This place is just incredible
01:13:57Thank you so much, thank you
01:13:59You guys have really done a great job putting this together
01:14:01We love it here, the town is beautiful, the people are so lovely and warm
01:14:05It's, it's home
01:14:07Well, we really appreciate you having us
01:14:09We have no plans of going anywhere again
01:14:11This is it
01:14:17The last entree has left the kitchen
01:14:20You all did such a great job, thank you so much
01:14:24I can't believe how flexible everyone was changing the entree at the last minute
01:14:28Now let's keep our focus as we get the desserts out and
01:14:34Matthew
01:14:36Kathy
01:14:37You came back
01:14:40I realized everything I wanted was right here
01:14:52Kathy
01:14:52Come on
01:14:54You can kiss her later
01:14:56When, when is that?
01:14:58Kathy, you did it
01:14:59You did it
01:15:00The meal was wonderful
01:15:02The President wants to talk to you
01:15:04Of
01:15:05The United States?
01:15:07Yes
01:15:08Where, where have you been?
01:15:09Wait, the President?
01:15:11I can't, I can't see him like this
01:15:13Why not?
01:15:14You remember him
01:15:15Well yeah, he was the Congressman then
01:15:18Now he's the President
01:15:20You'll do fine
01:15:23I'm, I'm so nervous, will you go with me?
01:15:25Of course
01:15:26Okay, I gotta change
01:15:32How do I look?
01:15:34How do I look?
01:15:36You look gorgeous
01:15:39Is, is that little Kathy?
01:15:42Isn't she stunning?
01:15:44Look at her!
01:15:47Let's give it up for the Sheriff
01:15:57Now get over here and give your Uncle Tyler a hug
01:16:00My goodness, I haven't seen you in, oh man, 12 years
01:16:05Oh my goodness, you know, I've been all over the world
01:16:08And I must say, this meal was probably the best I've ever had in my life
01:16:14Thank you, Mr. President
01:16:15Oh, it's Uncle Tyler, always Uncle Tyler
01:16:19I am so proud of you, I don't know what to do
01:16:23Now who is this man lucky enough to hold your hand?
01:16:26Matthew, Mr. President
01:16:28It's nice meeting you, Matthew
01:16:30You know, you're incredibly lucky
01:16:32To have this young lady as your girlfriend
01:16:35Pretty smart guy
01:16:38You must have voted for me, huh?
01:16:42I want everyone to join us downstairs
01:16:45And we're gonna read some Christmas poems
01:16:47The Night Before Christmas
01:16:50Let's go!
01:17:08Let's go!
01:17:10She didn't get on the plane
01:17:13Kathy didn't get on the plane?
01:17:14She didn't get on the plane
01:17:16She didn't get on the plane
01:17:18It was the night before Christmas
01:17:20When all through the house
01:17:21Not a creature was stirring
01:17:24Not even a mouse
01:17:37You did it, Missy
01:17:38Thank you, Sunny
01:17:40The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
01:17:43In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there
01:17:47Am I seeing what I think I'm seeing out there?
01:17:50The children were nestled all snug in their beds
01:17:53While visions of sugar plums danced in their heads
01:17:57And Mama in her kerchief and I in my cap
01:18:02Had just settled our brains for a long winter's night
01:18:07It's snowing
01:18:08When out on the lawn
01:18:10There arose such a clatter
01:18:13I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter
01:18:16Away to the window
01:18:18I flew like a flash
01:18:19Tore open the shutters
01:18:21And threw up the sash
01:18:24It's gonna be a white Christmas
01:18:26Of course it is
01:18:27The moon on the breast
01:18:31Of the new fallen snow
01:18:32Gave a luster of midday
01:18:35To objects below
01:18:37When what to my wondering
01:18:40Eyes should appear
01:18:42When a miniature slave
01:18:44And ate tiny reindeer
01:18:46You know
01:18:50What?
01:18:52I truly feel like I'm finally home
01:18:55For the first time in my life
01:18:57With a little old driver
01:18:59So vaguely and quick
01:19:01I knew in a moment
01:19:03It must be Saint Nick
01:19:05More rapid than Eagle
01:19:08His courses they came
01:19:10And he'd whistled and shouted
01:19:12And called them by name
01:19:14Now Dasher
01:19:15Now Dancer
01:19:17Now Prancer and Vixen
01:19:20On Comet, on Cupid
01:19:22On Donner and Blitzen
01:19:26I love the way you hold my hand
01:19:29Well
01:19:30I am under strict orders from the president
01:19:32I know, right?
01:19:34It might be a capital crime not to
01:19:35To the top of the porch
01:19:36To the top of the wall
01:19:39Now dash away, dash away
01:19:41Dash away all
01:19:43As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly
01:19:47When they meet with an obstacle
01:19:51Mounted into the sky
01:19:53So up to the house tower
01:19:55The courses they flew
01:19:56With the scyp of the toys
01:19:59And Saint Nicholas too
01:20:02Are you gonna be able to put up with this reckless driver?
01:20:09And then in a twinkling
01:20:11I heard on the roof
01:20:12The prancing and calling
01:20:14Of each little group
01:20:17As I drew in my head
01:20:19And was turning around
01:20:21Down the chimney
01:20:22Saint Nicholas came with a bow
01:20:25He was dressed in all fur
01:20:27From his head to his foot
01:20:29And his clothes were all tarnished
01:20:32With ashes and soot
01:20:34Matthew
01:20:36I love you too
01:20:38The big bundle of toys
01:20:40He had plung on his back
01:20:42And he looked like a pecker
01:20:44Just opening his pack
01:20:46His eyes how they twinkled
01:20:48His dimples how merry
01:20:51His cheeks were like roses
01:20:52His drogue of the mouth
01:20:54Was drawn up like a bow
01:20:57And the beard on his chin
01:20:59Was as white as the snow
01:21:01Are you gonna say it or not?
01:21:04The stump of a pipe
01:21:06He held tight in his teeth
01:21:08And the smoke it encircled
01:21:10His head like a wreath
01:21:13He had a broad face
01:21:16And a little round belly
01:21:17That shook when he laughed
01:21:19Like a bold wood jet
01:21:21Kathy Cutlenios
01:21:24Matthew Williams
01:21:26And I laughed when I saw him
01:21:28In spite of myself
01:21:30A wink of his eye
01:21:32And a twist of his head
01:21:34Soon gave me to know
01:21:36I had nothing to drink
01:21:39He spoke not a word
01:21:40But went straight to his work
01:21:43And filled all the stockings
01:21:46Then turned with a jerk
01:21:53Will you marry me?
01:21:55Will you marry me?
01:21:56And laying his finger
01:21:57Beside of his nose
01:21:59And giving a knack
01:22:01Up the chimney he rose
01:22:04He sprang to his sleigh
01:22:06To his team gave a whistle
01:22:10And away they blew
01:22:11Like the down of a tissue
01:22:15But I heard him explain
01:22:17Here as he drove out of sight
01:22:20Yes, I would love nothing more
01:22:23Merry Christmas to all
01:22:27And all a good night
01:22:33Thank you, thank you
01:22:35Merry Christmas everybody
01:22:37Merry Christmas
01:23:02Merry Christmas
01:23:05Maybe next Christmas we'll have a baby
01:23:07Wouldn't that be lovely?
01:23:09It would
01:23:10It surely would
01:23:39When the gathering has begun
01:23:42And concerns are down to one
01:23:45Should we clean up or have fun for a while?
01:23:52There's a sweet, sweet stillness there
01:23:55In the quiet Christmas air
01:23:58May you find yourself laughing all the while
01:24:02Have a happy, merry, beautiful Christmas
01:24:08Have a happy, merry, beautiful Christmas
01:24:09Where all your troubles fade away
01:24:15Where there's laughing and memories
01:24:19Made by the Christmas tree
01:24:22And joy for every day
01:24:26So have a beautiful Christmas
01:24:30So have a beautiful Christmas
01:24:32Oh
01:24:34Have a beautiful Christmas
01:24:38Oh
01:24:39That's what I always listen to today
01:24:54That's what I always listen to today
01:24:56How much is that?
01:24:56I would say
01:24:56I have a beautiful Christmas tree
01:24:56Where I see a Christmas tree
01:24:56At this place
