04:10wait a minute nicole joey worked really hard to put this stuff up because he thought you'd appreciate
04:14it hey that's okay michael i guess this stuff looks dumb in here too i don't mind taking it down
04:20no wait wait a minute don't take anything down nicole what is bothering you nothing
04:26what is it you feel like we're treating you like a kid by making a big deal out of the
04:29holidays
04:29hey we don't have to make a big deal out of these holidays if you don't want to well wait
04:32a minute yes
04:33we do nicole this is the first time we ever spent this season together and we're not exactly sure how
04:40to celebrate it maybe we should all tell each other what we're used to yeah why don't you tell us
04:44about some of your favorite christmases okay here's a holiday memory i used to run downstairs
04:52to see if my parents bought me a horse i i was i was seven years old and i wanted
04:56a horse really bad
04:57i used to tiptoe down the stairs in my pajamas open up the basement door and fully expect
05:03to see a horse come out but i never got a horse i got a cat once
05:10i named it flicker i sat on it and it ran away
05:17how about you joe me well uh you know i came from a big family
05:25so uh you know i have a lot of brothers and sisters so there wasn't always a lot of money
05:28for gifts
05:30so that was when i was growing up and uh my mother was always pregnant so uh
05:36so we'd get little gifts you know mostly because dad said the big gift is going to be your new
05:40brother or sister which kind of explains why we all resented each other
05:51in fact in fact one time my older sister traded me to a girlfriend for barbie's dream house
06:00your turn nicole my turn what well your turn to tell us how you you know used to spend the
06:07holidays with your mother oh oh oh oh you know what you know what is very interesting it's an
06:14interesting fact in australia in australia our neighbors down under they uh when they celebrate
06:21christmas it's in the middle of the summer the middle of the summer because it's everything it's
06:25it's all screwed up the whole place is screwed up so it's not it's not even the same day
06:32what the hell are you talking about
06:36may i start my homework now of course you can
06:40merry christmas happy new year and to you
06:51we are so selfish what because we want our daughter to celebrate christmas
06:56shh go we were so excited about nicole spending her first christmas with us we never stopped to
07:01think about who it's her first christmas without
07:04oh her mother marcy oh of course she doesn't want to be celebrating this she just wants it to go
07:10away how can she how can she be excited about spending christmas with her two new fathers when
07:14she hasn't even had the chance to to get over the loss of her mother
07:21where are you going oh we got to talk to her yes yes certainly talking is good however in light
07:27of
07:27nicole's current fragile emotional state a tactful approach is what's called for here and perhaps
07:33that is best accomplished not by both of us storming in there but by only one of us and and
07:39and that
07:39person should be the one who will handle this with the most delicacy and give it the most thought
07:45i understand
07:54hey nick come in
07:59hey hey what are you studying science oh science oh absolutely my worst subject of my entire school
08:06career hey you know you should talk to michael about science so because he was a whiz
08:11sometimes he let me cheat off him in school it's kind of how we got to know each other
08:15but that's another story hey don't you ever cheat in school you know because you don't learn
08:19anything and you usually get caught unless you're me i promise not to cheat in school thanks hey can
08:28you make me one of the little promise what can you please be happy can you can you enjoy these
08:36happy holidays because it's the first time we're all together it's our first christmas i mean it's a
08:40wonderful time you know and maybe if we enjoy this wonderful time together maybe that'll help you put
08:44some of the some of the sad things behind you what sad things are you talking about well you know
08:54your
08:54mom and uh and you're missing her and her not being here you want me to put that behind me

11:08not a good father i mean this is harder than i thought it was going to be i mean if
11:13i was a good
11:13father i'd know how to handle this hey joe this is not you you are not the self-doubting melancholy

17:59Just this.
18:01Whoa! Where did you get that?
18:04Hey, I got it at the grocery store down the street.
18:05We got it in the back in an hour.

18:18Uh, this will just take a minute, sweetheart.
18:21Where'd you get the treat?
18:22Don't ask.
18:24We got you a bunch of presents, but you don't have to open them now if you don't want to.
18:27However, there's someone who gave us a wonderful gift,
18:30and we got her something as a thank you.
18:32But she couldn't be here, so we were wondering if you would open it for her.
18:47It's a picture with my mom and you guys on the beach.
18:52I kept it all these years, despite the fact that I'm peeling badly.
18:58Just like a kid, huh? She opens the gift and she doesn't look at the car.
19:01Look at the car.
19:06To Marcy.
19:07Merry Christmas.
19:09You'll always be with us.
19:11Love Joey and Michael.
19:15Hey, Nicole.
19:18You know, nobody can replace your mother.
19:20Not in your heart.
19:24Because nobody can replace her in our hearts.
19:28And when we're all together, especially at the holidays,
19:31if you let us celebrate with you, if you let us love you,
19:35that's how your mom can be most alive, because that's what your mom most wanted.
19:41You know, you both look pretty silly with sideburns.
19:45Well, it's not a great picture, it's just the only one we have with all your parents.
19:51No, I think it's beautiful.
