00:03:50This is so great.
00:03:51It's so perfect.
00:03:53Wow.
00:03:54Look at how beautiful your mother used to be.
00:03:57It's crazy.
00:03:59And she still is.
00:04:01I mean, all these years later.
00:04:02I mean, this is the same person I'm looking at.
00:04:05Yeah, right.
00:04:05You know what, you just should run thin ice creams, boys.
00:04:09That's why I like to see a little fire in the belly, huh?
00:04:13Do you like your picture, Mom?
00:04:15We found the old one and got it printed and framed.
00:04:18I love it.
00:04:19I love it so much, you guys.
00:04:22That is so thoughtful.
00:04:25You're the best.
00:04:26Oh, and...
00:04:32This one's for me.
00:04:35I thought we agreed not to get each other gifts.
00:04:37We did.
00:04:38I changed my mind.
00:04:40Open.
00:04:41Such a rebel.
00:04:42I know.
00:04:42Okay.
00:04:44All right.
00:04:53Is this supposed to make me happy?
00:04:57We talked about going on a cruise, so...
00:04:59In a year and a half?
00:05:01Living on faith, baby.
00:05:03I mean...
00:05:03Did you not understand the doctor?
00:05:06I did.
00:05:07I just...
00:05:07I thought that this would be a great idea for us.
00:05:10Do you remember what she said?
00:05:13Because I do.
00:05:15Like it was yesterday.
00:05:17With numbers like yours, Mr. Boyce, most patients don't live more than 18 months.
00:05:24So now you have less than a year and a half, and you go and you book a cruise for
00:05:2918 months from now?
00:05:30Mary, come on.
00:05:32It's Christmas.
00:05:33Let's just...
00:05:34You know what?
00:05:34No, I'm sorry.
00:05:35I just...
00:05:36I need a minute.
00:05:37Okay?
00:05:38Hey.
00:05:44Okay.
00:05:45Who's next?
00:05:50Kids!
00:05:50We gotta go!
00:05:54You sure you don't wanna come?
00:05:56No.
00:05:57Still gotta get a start on dinner and get myself ready.
00:06:02All that.
00:06:03Oh, you're welcome.
00:06:05Hey, listen.
00:06:06Can we talk about this cruise thing?
00:06:08No, it's fine.
00:06:08We'll talk about it later, alright?
00:06:10Okay.
00:06:12You always say that, but we never do.
00:06:20Ooh!
00:06:21Wow!
00:06:23You guys look great.
00:06:24You're not coming with us?
00:06:25No.
00:06:26You know, Grandma and your aunt and uncle are all coming over today, so somebody's gotta get the house ready.
00:06:31But you never go anymore.
00:06:32Not since Dad's diagnosis.
00:06:36You know what, guys?
00:06:37We don't need to talk about that today, okay?
00:06:39Let's not mention it when the family comes over, either.
00:06:42Right?
00:06:42We know.
00:06:43Okay, Mom.
00:06:45Okay, come here.
00:06:46Come on.
00:06:47Have fun.
00:06:49Be good.
00:06:50Bye, baby.
00:06:51Bye, baby.
00:06:52Love you.
00:06:52Love you.
00:06:53Alright.
00:06:54Alright.
00:06:55Off we go.
00:06:57Off we go.
00:06:57Yes, put on those coats.
00:06:58It's cold out.
00:07:43It came upon a midnight cloud, that glorious song of old.
00:07:56It came upon a midnight cloud, that glorious song of old.
00:07:57From angels bending near the air, to touch their hearts of gold.
00:08:10Peace on earth, good wind to win, from heaven's old gracious king.
00:08:21The world, in solemn stillness, led to hear the angels sing.
00:08:41Family.
00:08:52In excelsis Deo.
00:08:58See him in a manger laid
00:09:04Jesus, Lord of heaven and earth
00:09:09Mary, Joseph, lend your aid
00:09:13With us sing our Savior's birth
00:09:25Gloria in excelsis Deo
00:09:32Gloria in excelsis Deo
00:09:52Wow, and all God's people said
00:09:56Amen
00:10:07Merry Christmas, I'm James Boyce
00:10:13These are my children, Lydia and Caleb
00:10:18Yeah, how did you
00:10:21Uh, are you new here? I haven't seen you here before
00:10:25I am from out of town
00:10:26Oh, are you visiting family?
00:10:30No
00:10:31He's here on business
00:10:34Over Christmas?
00:10:37I was just telling him what a shame it is he doesn't live here
00:10:39We would love for him to join our worship team
00:10:43Yeah, you really can sing
00:10:45You a professional singer or something?
00:10:47No
00:10:48Well, it sure sounded like it
00:10:50We could hear you all the way from the front row
00:10:53Sorry, what was your name again?
00:10:57It's Harry
00:10:58His name's Harry
00:11:00It is a pleasure to meet you
00:11:03Where are you going for Christmas dinner, Harry?
00:11:06I do not have anywhere to go
00:11:09That's terrible
00:11:10No one should be alone on Christmas
00:11:13Right, Dad?
00:11:15Right, yes
00:11:16Um, definitely not
00:11:19You're more than welcome to join us
00:11:21Um, we're having extended family over
00:11:23But I'm sure we can find room for one more
00:11:29The first Noel
00:11:33The angel did say
00:11:40Was to certain poor shepherds
00:11:45In fields as they lay
00:11:49In fields where they
00:11:55They lay keeping their sheep
00:12:01On a cold winter's night
00:12:07That was so deep
00:12:11The first Noel
00:12:17The angel did say
00:12:22Was to certain poor shepherds
00:12:29In fields as they lay
00:12:33Noel
00:12:37Noel
00:12:42Noel
00:12:48Born is the
00:12:49Good morning
00:12:50You're listening to Radio Joy
00:12:51And we'd like to wish you
00:12:52A merry, merry Christmas
00:12:54Can you imagine what it must have been like
00:12:56To those shepherds outside of Bethlehem
00:12:57On that original Christmas day?
00:12:59The first one angel appears
00:13:00Announcing the birth of Jesus
00:13:01And then he's joined
00:13:02By a great company of angels
00:13:03Praising God
00:13:04Yeah, I'd settle for just one
00:13:06With some good news
00:13:07Gosh
00:13:10Hey, Mom
00:13:11Oh, hey
00:13:13Hi, guys
00:13:14Hi, how was it?
00:13:16It was nice
00:13:16Yeah?
00:13:17Um, listen
00:13:18I, um
00:13:19I had a little bit
00:13:21Of an accident
00:13:22Hey, baby
00:13:34It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance
00:13:37And he can really sing
00:13:40Wow
00:13:41He's from out of town
00:13:42And didn't have anywhere to go
00:13:43For Christmas dinner
00:13:44Yeah, so we invited him
00:13:46To eat with us
00:13:46Oh, okay
00:13:47Um, that's great
00:13:48Listen, kids
00:13:49Why don't you guys
00:13:50Take Harry
00:13:51And show him
00:13:53The Christmas tree we decorated?
00:13:55Yes, baby
00:13:56That's a great idea
00:13:57Show him the Christmas tree, okay?
00:13:58And you guys
00:13:59Take Snowy out with you, too
00:14:00She hasn't been out in a while
00:14:01Come on, Harry
00:14:02It's a real live tree
00:14:04That's still growing
00:14:10Nice to meet you
00:14:12Merry boys
00:14:13You, too
00:14:19What?
00:14:20You know how stressed I am
00:14:22Are you kidding?
00:14:23Like springing the sky on me
00:14:24At the last minute
00:14:25And look how I'm dressed, James
00:14:27I thought you'd be ready by now
00:14:29You didn't call
00:14:30You didn't text
00:14:31I mean
00:14:31I didn't think about it
00:14:33I'm sorry
00:14:33What do you want me to do?
00:14:35I mean, the man's gonna be alone
00:14:36On Christmas
00:14:37You want him hanging out
00:14:38In a hotel
00:14:39While we enjoy Christmas dinner?
00:14:41Besides, aren't we
00:14:42Supposed to show hospitality
00:14:43To strangers
00:14:45Remember that?
00:14:46Huh?
00:14:47Hey, if I get him
00:14:48To sing for you
00:14:50You're gonna be amazed
00:14:51I mean, the man
00:14:52Has an incredible voice
00:14:53He can belt at him
00:14:55Oh, wow
00:14:55Well, I expect a concert later
00:14:57Okay
00:15:02What a friendly creature
00:15:05But snowy is an odd name
00:15:07For a black dog
00:15:09Caleb picked it
00:15:10What can I say?
00:15:12The dog loves the snow
00:15:15It would seem so
00:15:19What a beautiful Abbey's Fraseri
00:15:22An Abbey's Fraseri
00:15:24An Abbey's Fraseri
00:15:25An Abbey's Fraseri
00:15:27Or tree
00:15:29It's an Abbey's Fraseri
00:15:30One of the most common types
00:15:31Of Christmas trees around here
00:15:33Also known as the Frasier Fir
00:15:35The other
00:15:36The Tsurutsuga Mensesiae
00:15:38Also known as the Douglas Fir
00:15:39Our Grandfather
00:15:41Knew those names for plants
00:15:42Yes, your Grandfather
00:15:44Was a very smart man
00:15:47Did you know him?
00:15:53Mom!
00:15:54Dad!
00:15:54Harry knows the funny names
00:15:56Of plants
00:15:57Just like Grandpa
00:15:58And
00:16:00Your present
00:16:01Oh, no
00:16:03I know, I know
00:16:04I'm so sorry
00:16:06You guys
00:16:07This is
00:16:08The accident that I mentioned
00:16:09When you got home
00:16:11I dropped it
00:16:12And I
00:16:12Gosh, I feel terrible
00:16:14I'm so sorry
00:16:14It's okay
00:16:15We'll go back to the shop
00:16:16And have him make a new one
00:16:18Or
00:16:19Fix that one
00:16:20I don't think this can be fixed
00:16:22Harry
00:16:23It's okay
00:16:24We'll get it replaced next week
00:16:25Okay?
00:16:27Okay, kids
00:16:28The family is going to be here
00:16:29Any minute
00:16:30So
00:16:30If you guys want to
00:16:32Just go on upstairs
00:16:33And get out of those church clothes
00:16:35Mom, do we have to?
00:16:38Oh, yes, you have to
00:16:40Go on
00:16:47So, Harry
00:16:49Tell me about yourself
00:16:51You're from out of town
00:16:52Right?
00:16:54Yes
00:16:54I have been sent
00:16:56I'm sorry
00:16:56Could you hand me the mustard
00:16:57That's right behind you
00:16:58On the counter?
00:17:04Thank you
00:17:06So, James tells me you're a singer
00:17:10No
00:17:11I am not
00:17:13Oh
00:17:13You must have misunderstood
00:17:15I do sing
00:17:17But that is not my primary
00:17:20That must be
00:17:21My mother
00:17:24Yeah
00:17:25Would you mind
00:17:26Letting her in?
00:17:28Is that okay?
00:17:28Thank you
00:17:29Oh, and she's a little bit formal
00:17:31So if you want to just call her
00:17:33Mrs. Ross
00:17:35Yeah
00:17:37Mrs. Ross
00:17:38Yes, that's right
00:17:40And you are
00:17:42Hi, Mom
00:17:42This is Harry
00:17:43Come on in
00:17:45It is a great pleasure to meet you
00:17:48Your euphorbia
00:17:49Pokerima is a very fine specimen
00:17:53May I help you with your coat?
00:17:54Well, yes
00:17:55Thank you
00:17:56That's very kind
00:17:57Not many people know the scientific name for the poinsettia
00:18:01Oh, you wouldn't happen to be a botanist now, would you, Harry?
00:18:05It is Harry, right?
00:18:07I once saw an enormous bed of the most beautiful
00:18:12Lobularia maritima you have ever beheld, Mrs. Ross
00:18:15Oh, no need to be so formal
00:18:18Just call me Helen
00:18:19And you're really not a botanist, huh?
00:18:23Hmm
00:18:24Merry Christmas
00:18:30You look like you've seen a ghost
00:18:33I said Merry Christmas
00:18:36Merry Christmas
00:18:37Merry Christmas, Grandma
00:18:38Merry Christmas, Lydia
00:18:41I'm Kaylin
00:18:42Merry Christmas
00:18:43I've got a little something here for you
00:18:46Oh, that's really nice
00:18:48Thank you, Grandma
00:18:49That's nice, Mom
00:18:50Thanks
00:18:50Merry Christmas
00:18:51Merry Christmas, dear
00:18:53How was the drive over, Mrs. Ross?
00:18:55Oh, well, it took a little longer than I thought
00:18:58I missed a turn or two
00:19:01I'm still not used to driving by myself
00:19:04Hmm
00:19:06What?
00:19:08Hon, no use pretending
00:19:10I'm missing your father just as much as you
00:19:12Even more
00:19:13But it's just that he's
00:19:16Gone to be with the Lord
00:19:18Indeed
00:19:19Thank you
00:19:20Well, Harry's exactly right
00:19:23He's gone to be with the Lord
00:19:24And until we join him
00:19:26We must go on living
00:19:30Well, you all look well
00:19:35Thank you, Mom
00:19:37Thank you, Mrs. Ross
00:19:38Oh, you do too
00:19:40My own lovely you look
00:19:41Should be a normal response
00:19:45What is with this family today?
00:19:50Well, at any rate
00:19:51It would appear that the meal is progressing nicely
00:19:54Yeah
00:19:57Well, now, if you'll excuse me for a moment
00:19:59Harry and I are going to admire the backyard Christmas tree
00:20:04My grandkids decorated that I've been hearing all about
00:20:07Yes, the Abbey's Preseri
00:20:10Yes
00:20:11Well, come on, kids
00:20:12Show Grandma your masterpiece
00:20:13Come on
00:20:17Oh, and do let me know when Martha and Peter arrive, okay?
00:20:21Sure, will do
00:20:22Yep
00:20:26Okay, what was that?
00:20:28No idea
00:20:31Call me Helen
00:20:33You've been her son-in-law for 15 years
00:20:34You still call her Mrs. Ross
00:20:35Yeah, I know
00:20:36Who is this guy?
00:20:38I told you, he's from out of town
00:20:39He's on business
00:20:42So, is he a botanist or is he a singer, though?
00:20:45Both
00:20:47Charmer, clearly
00:20:48I mean
00:20:50It's so bizarre
00:20:51Okay, all right
00:20:52That's Martha, I'm going to get that
00:20:53You got this?
00:20:53Yep
00:20:54I'm good
00:20:57Hi
00:20:58Hello
00:20:59Merry Christmas

00:21:03Here you go
00:21:04Wow
00:21:04Martha, that's beautiful
00:21:05Made it myself to match my tree
00:21:07I mean, your tree
00:21:08Right, of course

00:21:11I better be
00:21:12Well
00:21:14Feel good to see you
00:21:15You look good
00:21:16Nice to see you
00:21:17Thanks
00:21:17Belgian mayor, the best they got
00:21:19You know what?
00:21:20I would have expected nothing less
00:21:22So, how have you been?
00:21:24You don't text
00:21:25You don't call me back
00:21:26You don't call at all
00:21:27You know what?
00:21:28I'm sorry about that
00:21:29I've just been busy
00:21:30And where exactly is the
00:21:31The explosion of Christmas
00:21:32That usually covers a boy's home
00:21:34And you hardly have any outside
00:21:35I just, I really
00:21:36I haven't had time to finish all the decorating
00:21:38So
00:21:39I actually thought that we could do it today
00:21:41You know, together
00:21:42Start a new family tradition
00:21:45Will you grab the door?
00:21:47Sure
00:21:51What are all these boxes?
00:21:54Hey
00:21:54Merry Christmas
00:21:55Merry Christmas
00:21:56Welcome
00:21:57Oh, it smells so good in here
00:21:58It's for you, wow
00:21:59Hey, where's mom?
00:22:01I thought we were up front
00:22:02Yeah, she's in the backyard
00:22:03With the kids and Harry
00:22:04Harry?
00:22:05Oh, yeah
00:22:06He's just someone from church
00:22:08Who needed a place to go on Christmas
00:22:09I was just testing it out
00:22:12No, no, no, no
00:22:13Go, go, get Josh
00:22:14The kids are out back
00:22:14If it was the head of my mom
00:22:15You can meet this guest we have
00:22:19So is Harry a friend from church?
00:22:23Not a friend
00:22:23Just met him today
00:22:25But he has a voice like Pavarotti
00:22:27I mean, it's unbelievable
00:22:29Really?
00:22:29That good, Mary?
00:22:30Oh, I don't know
00:22:32You didn't hear him?
00:22:34No, no
00:22:35She, uh, she wasn't there
00:22:37You didn't go on Christmas Day?
00:22:40Somebody had to get all the food ready
00:22:41Honey, this needs to go in the oven
00:22:42Will you help me with it, please?
00:22:43Yeah, yeah, sure
00:22:44Thank you
00:22:45Um, you know, I'll help her
00:22:47James, can you just go make sure that
00:22:49Bill took the chocolate out to my mom?
00:22:50Yeah, no, he did
00:22:51I saw him
00:22:52Yeah, can you just
00:22:53Just go check, please?
00:22:55Yes
00:22:55Thank you, James
00:22:58Okay
00:23:02There we go
00:23:04All right
00:23:06I have stuff to do
00:23:07Yeah, and I'm going to help you
00:23:09But not until you come clean
00:23:12What's going on?
00:23:13You don't miss church
00:23:14That was one time, okay?
00:23:15Let it go
00:23:16Yeah, and, um
00:23:18You also
00:23:19Don't forget to call me back
00:23:21You don't miss our lunch dates
00:23:23And you certainly don't miss brunch with mom
00:23:26Things come up from time to time, okay?
00:23:28Let it go
00:23:29Hey, it's me you're talking to
00:23:31Remember?
00:23:34Martha, your sister
00:23:35Best friend for the past 30-something years
00:23:39You can't fool me
00:23:40What is it?
00:23:41I said it's nothing
00:23:43Okay?
00:23:46I know you're a chocolate connoisseur
00:23:48And I'm telling you, Mrs. Ross
00:23:49These are top of the line
00:23:51Belgium's finest
00:23:52Um, so
00:23:54Martha wanted to make sure
00:23:55That you didn't forget the chocolates
00:23:57He didn't
00:24:00Well, I was just saying
00:24:01These are the best from Belgium
00:24:03Bill
00:24:03Uh, grateful as I am
00:24:06You don't know the first thing about Belgium chocolate
00:24:09In fact, uh
00:24:12I do believe these are Turkish
00:24:16Well, it says on the box they're from Belgium
00:24:18Well, perhaps
00:24:19But this outfit was purchased years ago
00:24:21By a Middle Eastern food conglomerate
00:24:23Uh, Turkish if memory serves
00:24:26And besides
00:24:28Neuhaus
00:24:29Is Belgium's finest chocolate bill
00:24:32Neuhaus
00:24:33Not this
00:24:35Well, it's the thought that counts, right?
00:24:38Yes
00:24:39Yes, it is
00:24:41I'm still gonna eat him
00:24:44So, between
00:24:46Lydia's exams
00:24:47And the science project
00:24:49Ooh
00:24:49And
00:24:50Caleb's hockey practice
00:24:52And band rehearsals
00:24:53And then the holidays
00:24:55It's just
00:24:57Been a little stressful around here
00:25:02Really?
00:25:05I mean that and
00:25:08You know, the anniversary with Dad
00:25:10And everything
00:25:12Yeah
00:25:13No, it's hard
00:25:14Mom's really struggling too
00:25:15Yeah
00:25:17Plus
00:25:18Petey is coming today
00:25:19And you know how he winds me up
00:25:21Be nice
00:25:22Please
00:25:23I'm sorry
00:25:24It's just
00:25:25Still living off Mom
00:25:27I mean, come on
00:25:28Lydia's more mature than that
00:25:31Well, he is our brother
00:25:33And we love him
00:25:34So
00:25:35In the spirit of the day
00:25:36Let's just
00:25:38Try to extend grace
00:25:40I will do my best
00:25:42He has a new girlfriend
00:25:43You know that?
00:25:44What?
00:25:45Another one
00:25:46Yeah, I think
00:25:47Her name is Gabby
00:25:49If I'm right
00:25:49You met her?
00:25:50Mm-mm
00:25:50But she's coming today
00:25:52She is?
00:25:53See, he didn't tell me that
00:25:57It's okay
00:25:57We'll just set another place
00:25:58Okay
00:25:58Mm-hmm
00:26:00And
00:26:00He says that she's nothing like
00:26:01The other ones
00:26:02Oh
00:26:03So she can read
00:26:05What?
00:26:06I'm just saying
00:26:07I can't say that
00:26:07No, come on, though
00:26:08That last one
00:26:09I cannot
00:26:10Be nice
00:26:11And
00:26:12Once Uncle Petey gets here
00:26:14We'll head out for the field
00:26:16He's really good
00:26:17Speedy Petey
00:26:19That's what they called him in high school
00:26:21He was an all-state wide receiver
00:26:24How about you?
00:26:25What position do you play?
00:26:30Here we are
00:26:31So you have all the gifts, right?
00:26:33Yeah
00:26:33Alright
00:26:33So Mrs. Ross is your mom
00:26:35And Mary and Martha
00:26:37Just like in the Bible
00:26:38Are your sisters?
00:26:39Yep
00:26:40I really hope they like me
00:26:41Oh, they'll like you
00:26:42Probably better than they like me
00:26:46This is Mary's house, right?
00:26:49And she's the one you don't get along with?
00:26:51You'll see
00:26:55Oh, so
00:26:57What about the
00:27:00First Sunday in the new year?
00:27:02You know I don't like missing her brunch
00:27:04I know
00:27:05I'm sorry
00:27:07Things just
00:27:08Got a little hectic
00:27:10At the end of this year
00:27:13That's all?
00:27:15Yes
00:27:16Just
00:27:17Been busy
00:27:21Oh

00:29:13She teaches it in school
00:29:14And I was telling her how smart you are
00:29:16Right now?
00:29:18Yeah, come on
00:29:19Sure, what you got?
00:29:20Not in front of everyone
00:29:21Don't embarrass her

00:32:41Heyo.
00:32:41Oh, so in other words, while we're here working, you'll be off relaxing.
00:32:45Relaxing?
00:32:45It's football, you don't mind.
00:32:46Oh, okay, if you say so.
00:32:48Bonding, Mayor.
00:32:50We'll be bonding.
00:32:51It's a guy thing.
00:32:53Playing, Peter.
00:32:54You'll be playing while there's work to be done.
00:32:57I mean, it does sound like a guy thing.
00:33:00Want the respect for the pie?
00:33:03You're a child.
00:33:04You're a 30-year-old child.
00:33:06Don't be a downer, Mayor.
00:33:07Not on Christmas Day.
00:33:08Okay.
00:33:09Peter.
00:33:10Goodbye.
00:33:12Hey, be nice to Gabby while we're gone.
00:33:13I told her what a sweetheart you were.
00:33:15I love you.
00:33:15Come on.
00:33:19Okay?
00:33:20Yeah.
00:33:21Okay.
00:33:22I'm just gonna throw that one away.
00:33:22Yeah, thank you.
00:33:23That's disgusting.
00:33:30Gearing up really brings back memories.
00:33:33So you played?
00:33:35Played.
00:33:36Set records.
00:33:37Made all state.
00:33:39Four seasons of glory.
00:33:41Best years of my life.
00:33:42That was a long time ago, Petey.
00:33:44Here you go, Harry.
00:33:45You still got it though, right?
00:33:47No.
00:33:48Fastest man in the field.
00:33:50I'm gonna show you how it's done.
00:33:56Are you sure you could throw that thing after your lesson?
00:33:59How far?
00:34:00Far as you can.
00:34:01I'll run it down.
00:34:03Fastest man in the field, remember?
00:34:04Alright, well maybe a little warm up first, huh?
00:34:07Come on.
00:34:07We're too young for that, right boys?
00:34:09Yeah.
00:34:09Yeah, dad.
00:34:10Okay, whatever.
00:34:12So, remember, you grab the ball like this, fingers on the laces, bring it back, throw.
00:34:17I'll snap it to ya.
00:34:19After this play, it'll be us three against the old men.
00:34:22Huh?
00:34:23Yeah, baby.
00:34:24Josh, you line up right here in front of me.
00:34:26Caleb, drop back ten yards.
00:34:27I'm gonna run a post pattern.
00:34:29Ten yards good enough?
00:34:30Yes, it's good enough.
00:34:31He probably can't even throw it that far.
00:34:32Come on.
00:34:34Alright.
00:34:35See what you got, huh, Harry?
00:34:36Alright, so Harry, when you're ready, just yell hike.
00:34:39And Bill's just gonna...
00:34:39Oh.
00:34:42Bill, you okay?
00:34:47Throw one against Caleb.
00:34:51Oh, no, that's the car.
00:34:52That's the car.
00:34:53Come on, not the car!
00:34:58Oh!
00:34:59Oh, come on!
00:35:01What happened?
00:35:01No, easy.
00:35:02Easy.
00:35:03Ow!
00:35:04Wow.
00:35:04I'm on Harry's team.
00:35:06Me too.
00:35:08Okay, ladies.
00:35:10Ten minute break.
00:35:11Cream and sugar, Gabby?
00:35:12No, I take mine back, thank you.
00:35:14Won't you be missing your family today, Gabby?
00:35:16No, I plan on being here today.
00:35:20Oh, well, this is a first for us.
00:35:22Ma'am?
00:35:23This is the first Christmas for the girls and Peter without their father.
00:35:26My husband, he died last Christmas.
00:35:30Peter told me.
00:35:31I'm so sorry.
00:35:33Oh, thank you.
00:35:34It's been hard on us all, but especially now, right girls?
00:35:39Yeah.
00:35:39Yeah.
00:35:40Christmas was always a very special time for us.
00:35:43And he always used to love singing.
00:35:45I'm sorry.
00:35:46Can we not talk about it right now?
00:35:48Mary, come on.
00:35:49Come on, what?
00:35:50If she wants to talk about Dad, she can talk about Dad.
00:35:53I just don't want to relive it today.
00:35:57I'm sure Gabby would rather not endure a family tiff.
00:36:00It's okay, Mrs. Ross.
00:36:03I'm just happy to be with family on Christmas.
00:36:07My parents died when I was really young, so I don't really have one.
00:36:13I'm so sorry.
00:36:15Oh, we are so happy to have you.
00:36:18Oh, my.
00:36:20Well, and I have noticed, by the way, you seem to be having a very positive influence on Peter.
00:36:27Oh, did he move out?
00:36:30Lately, he seems to be more responsible, more humble.
00:36:36Perhaps the Lord is working on Peter through you and others in his life.
00:36:42I've been praying so long, I know it'll happen.
00:36:48Peter is an atheist and kind of an arrogant one.
00:36:52And agnostic and cocky, not arrogant.
00:36:56I'm gonna pick this one.
00:37:01But I know the Lord will humble him and open his eyes.
00:37:06He's also irresponsible.
00:37:10Lazy.
00:37:11Mary, lay off, please.
00:37:12He is your brother, after all.
00:37:15I'm just saying he tends to think only of himself.
00:37:19Sorry, Gabby.
00:37:24Peter stopped to help me when my car got a flat.
00:37:28That's how we met.
00:37:29I was in an isolated part of town, and it was late.
00:37:33And he pulled over and changed my tire for me.
00:37:37Petey?
00:37:38Then he asked me if I wanted to go on a date.
00:37:40See, now that sounds like Petey.
00:37:42I said yes, but on one condition.
00:37:45That he would have to come to Sunday service at my church for our date.
00:37:49And we've been going every week now for the last month.
00:37:52Petey's been going to church.
00:37:53Every Sunday.
00:37:55For a month.
00:37:56Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:37:58Good Lord in heaven, thank you.
00:38:00Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:38:02This scared me.
00:38:03Oh, my goodness.
00:38:05I'm sorry.
00:38:05That was extreme, Mom.
00:38:07That was divine inspiration.
00:38:09Oh, okay.
00:38:10If you say so.
00:38:10Check it out on me.
00:38:12Oh, goodness.
00:38:13We'll get some ice on it.
00:38:14Don't tell Omar to tell Omar that I was a superstar.
00:38:16Yeah, I will.
00:38:18I'll drive, obviously.
00:38:19Greatest man on the field.
00:38:22Okay, try it again.
00:38:26Put your tongue right here.
00:38:30Okay.
00:38:33Oh, my gosh.
00:38:34You got it.
00:38:35Nice.
00:38:36All right.
00:38:36Now say burro.
00:38:38Burro.
00:38:40Perfect.
00:38:41All right.
00:38:41How about carro?
00:38:44Carro.
00:38:45Amazing.
00:38:46All right.
00:38:47Now this is a hard one.
00:38:50Ferrocarril.
00:38:52Ferrocarril.
00:38:52Perfect.
00:38:53You're a natural.
00:38:55Oh, that's so good.
00:38:58Wow, Lydia sounds so authentic.
00:39:00How about, like, perro?
00:39:02Perro.
00:39:03Perfect.
00:39:04Gabby's a natural teacher.
00:39:05Oh, she is something else.
00:39:08And she got Peter in church.
00:39:10She's just so good to be true.
00:39:12I think she's a real keeper.
00:39:14I think she's out of PD's league.
00:39:17What kind of thing is that to say about your brother?
00:39:20What?
00:39:21It's true.
00:39:22She's classy.
00:39:22And Peter still lives in your basement.
00:39:24He just got promoted at the hardware store.
00:39:27He's now in charge of the lumber department.
00:39:31Good for him.
00:39:33But he's still not paying you rent, though, is he?
00:39:36This is littleness on your part.
00:39:38And I don't like it.
00:39:40Especially on Christmas.
00:39:42Oh.
00:39:46Wow, Mary.
00:39:47I...
00:39:48I don't know what is with you lately, but...
00:39:52I don't know, you could try.
00:39:53To be nice, just...
00:39:55give us a couple hours.
00:40:17I'm sorry I upset you.
00:40:21I just wish you'd be more supportive of your brother.
00:40:31That's Dad's, isn't it?
00:40:34Mm-hmm.
00:40:35Here at the end of his life, I would read it to him every night before bed.
00:40:40He drew great comfort from it.
00:40:44Well, we both did.
00:40:49I just...
00:40:52I just wanted to have it with me today.
00:41:04I really miss him, too.
00:41:11Do you ever feel...
00:41:15angry?
00:41:17No.
00:41:22Sad and lonely.
00:41:25But not angry.
00:41:28It's a part of life.
00:41:34Right, but he...
00:41:36He was so full of life.
00:41:40Ours is not to reason why.
00:41:43But to accept and trust.
00:41:49Dad used to say that.
00:41:52Yes, he did.
00:41:55And he was right.
00:41:59It was just your father's time, hon.
00:42:04Oh, I'm grateful for the 35 wonderful years the Lord gave us.
00:42:10We raised you, Martha and Peter.
00:42:13And have been blessed with three loving grandchildren.
00:42:19What about you?
00:42:23Are you angry at God?
00:42:28All right.
00:42:29All right, tough guy.
00:42:30Careful.
00:42:31Joshie, Caleb shut the door, please.
00:42:33Going fast.
00:42:34It's okay. Just sit.
00:42:35Just sit.
00:42:37Excuse us, ladies.
00:42:39You should have seen me after there.
00:42:40I'll start now.
00:42:41Yeah, I doubt that.
00:42:42All right, so what do we think?
00:42:43Sit or lie down?
00:42:44What do you think?
00:42:44Sit.
00:42:44Lie down.
00:42:46Oh, Bill threw his back out.
00:42:47Okay, it's okay. Just be careful.
00:42:49Easy, easy.
00:42:50Good.
00:42:52Can't sit too much.
00:42:52Honey, I told you, you need to lay down.
00:42:56Go ahead.
00:42:59What are you doing?
00:43:01Harry.
00:43:02Oh, I don't know.
00:43:03No, no, no, no.
00:43:04Oh, no, please, no.
00:43:10Honey?
00:43:15It doesn't hurt anymore.
00:43:18You fixed it.
00:43:22This guy.
00:43:23He's a one-man wrecking crew on the field.
00:43:25Put me down first and then Petey.
00:43:28Now he's a healer.
00:43:30Dad, you threw your back out by hugging the ball.
00:43:33Harry didn't even touch you.
00:43:34You really should have warmed up.
00:43:36You didn't warm up?
00:43:37Well...
00:43:38What is wrong with you?
00:43:39Do you think you're still a kid?
00:43:39Okay, hey, how about this?
00:43:41How about everyone who is not helping out in the kitchen upstairs and get cleaned up, please?
00:43:46Come on.
00:43:47Let's go, football stars.
00:43:48Those pro careers will wait.
00:43:50Get a move on.
00:43:54Okay, Petey, you do the honors.
00:43:56Just put this in there and light it.
00:43:58Okay?
00:44:25Not working.
00:44:26Huh.
00:44:27That's weird.
00:44:28They always light.
00:44:29Yeah, well not this time.
00:44:30Feels damp.
00:44:32May I?
00:44:34Sure, knock yourself out.
00:44:40Perhaps now it will work.
00:44:43He sings.
00:44:45He's got a green thumb.
00:44:47An NFL pro.
00:44:49A healer.
00:44:51And wait, last but not least.
00:44:53Master of the flame.
00:44:57Whatever.
00:45:06Well done, Peter.
00:45:09Well done.
00:45:11Well done.
00:45:14That's nice.
00:45:15Feels great.
00:45:17And how did your mother and father like their present, Lydia?
00:45:20It didn't work out so well.
00:45:22No, honey.
00:45:23We'll get it fixed.
00:45:25I dropped it.
00:45:27Oh, I'm sorry, dear.
00:45:29Dad said we'll get it remade.
00:45:31That's so funny.
00:45:32That's what Pastor Steve's service was about this morning.
00:45:34About how we've been remade because of what started with the birth of Jesus.
00:45:38What did they talk about at your church, Mary?
00:45:42Lydia told Grandma.
00:45:44Why Lydia?
00:45:45Because Mom doesn't go to church anymore.
00:45:51Sorry.
00:45:52I'm gonna go check on everyone out back.
00:45:57Is that right?
00:45:59I'm just...
00:46:00Things have been a little hectic around here, so I've missed a couple times.
00:46:03You told me that it was just today.
00:46:06Well, we've been dealing with some personal things.
00:46:08Is everything okay between you and James?
00:46:10Mom?
00:46:11I said it's personal.
00:46:13Yeah, and we're your family.
00:46:15Look.
00:46:16I don't want the third degree here.
00:46:18Okay, so can we just get dinner ready?
00:46:21Can we do that?
00:46:28Scat!
00:46:29Snowy!

00:46:38Yes.
00:46:39Not this time, little brother.
00:46:42Nice shot.
00:46:43want to go again okay but I go last this time we ought to get Harry to play you
00:46:50kidding he'd probably pop the ball if he kicked it what are you talking about no
00:46:56seriously he could you should have seen him at the football field he's not
00:47:01normal I mean we're talking superhuman strength
00:47:08Billy right Josh definitely not a regular guy or how about the way he's saying in
00:47:14church Lydia huh dad said like per body Pavarotti genius whatever I never heard
00:47:23anybody sing like that or how about the way he spoke Spanish to Gabby and fixed
00:47:29Uncle Bill's back and the plants don't forget the plants he knows him better
00:47:34than grandpa and okay okay I get it he's talented and I'll give it to you I've
00:47:40never met anybody quite like him you know what I think I think he's not human so
00:47:47what is he then an alien or something here's what I think you two aren't human
00:47:55because no one who is could come up with such a dumb idea your first alien hunter
00:48:01teeth so Peter you consider yourself to be agnostic yeah I guess I've enjoyed going
00:48:13to church with Gabby sermons got me thinking that's good to hear Petey not
00:48:19saying I believe yet or anything but you are considering it
00:48:23that is good ask and you shall receive seek and you shall find knock and it shall be opened
00:48:34unto you sermon on the mount I was gonna say that really I was the Lord is loving and merciful
00:48:45Peter
00:48:48reach out to him he will embrace you let's say he's real and loving and merciful like you say
00:48:55I've had a lot of bad things happen in my life were you not however the agent of your own
00:49:01suffering
00:49:01meaning I did to myself yeah okay a lot of it true enough it's on me but what about Gabby
00:49:10her parents died when she's just a kid was that her fault it's no one's fault it's just God's will
00:49:18to
00:49:19take them to him I hear you but I can't understand how that's loving and merciful no we can't see
00:49:25the

00:54:08Okay, okay, you know what?

00:54:21That's why I'm so mean.
00:54:22You know what?
00:54:23I am done with this conversation.
00:54:25I am done.
00:54:26You can't admit the truth.
00:54:28There's no excuse.
00:54:30You're just not...
00:54:31What is it?
00:54:32Salt and light?
00:54:33More like vinegar and darkness.
00:54:34You want the truth?
00:54:35Yeah, let's do it.
00:54:36You want the truth?
00:54:36Yes.
00:54:37James is dying.
00:54:40What?
00:54:40No.
00:54:41What?
00:54:50Good morning, Mrs. Boyce.
00:54:52Mr. Boyce.
00:54:53Thank you for coming in.
00:54:54Good morning.
00:54:55Hi.
00:54:55I want you to know that I believe in being direct, so my patients have as clear a picture
00:55:01of the situation as possible.
00:55:04Unfortunately, the news isn't what I'd hoped for.
00:55:08Your test results show that the disease has progressed despite treatment.
00:55:16Okay.
00:55:19Now, barring a trial for experimental treatment, which is very unlikely, our options are really
00:55:27just palliative care and pain...
00:55:30I'm sorry.
00:55:30What are you saying?
00:55:31Okay.
00:55:32Mary.
00:55:33Let her finish.
00:55:34Well, every case is different.
00:55:37With numbers like yours, Mr. Boyce, most patients don't live more than 18 months.
00:55:45Okay.
00:55:48No.
00:55:49Okay.
00:55:51I'm so sorry.
00:55:53No.
00:56:03The doctor gave us 18 months.
00:56:09I just don't know if he'll be here next Christmas.
00:56:12I'm sorry.
00:56:14Are you?
00:56:16You're not as sorry as I am.
00:56:18Okay.
00:56:18Let's let him go.
00:56:19No.
00:56:19No.
00:56:21I am going to be a widow.
00:56:23I'm going to be a widow with three children.
00:56:26Do you know how that feels?
00:56:28Do you?
00:56:30Three?
00:56:31Three?
00:56:38I'm pregnant.
00:56:40I'm pregnant.
00:56:40I'm pregnant.
00:56:44And our kid may never really get to know their father.
00:56:48Okay?
00:56:49So, please forgive me if I have been less than charming lately.
00:56:59Mom, Mom, wait.
00:57:02Great.
00:57:03Way to go, Peter.
00:57:04I didn't know.
00:57:06No.
00:57:25Why didn't you tell me?
00:57:27I know.
00:57:32I just need a minute.
00:57:34Come on, just give me a second.
00:57:36No, no.
00:57:36I won't give you another minute.
00:57:40I'm sick of this.
00:57:41This crawl into your shell routine.
00:57:43It's getting old.
00:57:45And it's selfish.
00:57:47Okay?
00:57:49You think you're the only one who's scared here?
00:57:55Come back to what you believe in.
00:57:57Come back to your family, all right?
00:57:59Because we're waiting for you.
00:58:10Mary.
00:58:12Oh, my gosh.
00:58:14Oh, you scared me.
00:58:16Do not be afraid.
00:58:18Where did you come from?
00:58:21From the Most High.
00:58:23What?
00:58:25I'm sorry.
00:58:26Now's just really not a great time, okay?
00:58:28I just want to be alone, okay?
00:58:31Mary, I have been sent to strengthen you
00:58:34in your season of doubt.
00:58:37Oh, what?
00:58:38So, I mean, just a minute ago,
00:58:41you're setting my dining room table,
00:58:42and now you're, what, you're a counselor?
00:58:47Your request.
00:58:49May this very morning.
00:58:55Yeah, I'd settle for just one with some good news.
00:58:59Okay, so, um,
00:59:02so you're here to give me good news.
00:59:06What, is James going to be healed?
00:59:09This I do not know.
00:59:12The Lord alone knows his fate.
00:59:18Mary.
00:59:23Do not lose hope.
00:59:27Hope.
00:59:30Hope for a future without my husband?
00:59:35And my kids without a father?
00:59:39What hope is there in that?
00:59:41The Almighty is faithful.
00:59:45His love steadfast.
00:59:48Remember what he did
00:59:50on this day, all those years ago,
00:59:52by sending the Savior to rescue man
00:59:54from the dominion of darkness.
00:59:58and bring him into that kingdom
01:00:00of that very son whom he loves,
01:00:03in whom all who believe in him
01:00:04have redemption.
01:00:07The forgiveness of sin.
01:00:10I believe that.
01:00:14But that's also the past.
01:00:17And the future is what...
01:00:21neither you nor I
01:00:23know what the future holds.
01:00:26But we know who holds the future.
01:00:29Yeah, I know, but...
01:00:30Trust in him
01:00:32with all your heart.
01:00:35Lean not
01:00:36on your own understanding.
01:00:39Mary?
01:00:49Mary?
01:00:50Mary?
01:00:50Honey?
01:00:51Mary?
01:00:51Oh my gosh, you guys,
01:00:53it's freezing.
01:00:53I want to tell you
01:00:53how much I love you.
01:00:55Honey, honey.
01:00:57I want to tell you
01:00:58how much I love you.
01:01:00We're going to be with you
01:01:01every step of the way.
01:01:02Yes, I still love you so much.
01:01:04Yes, praying for James,
01:01:05you and the children.
01:01:06Yes, yes.
01:01:06Anything that you need, anything.
01:01:08Here, we're here.
01:01:09I know, I know, I'm so sorry,
01:01:11you guys, I'm so sorry.
01:01:12I should have told you guys
01:01:13so long ago.
01:01:15Oh no, it can take time
01:01:16before you're able to talk
01:01:17about something like this, honey.
01:01:19I know, I know, but I've just,
01:01:20I've been so distant
01:01:22and so unpleasant.
01:01:25Oh my gosh.
01:01:26It's okay, it's okay.
01:01:28That's in the past,
01:01:29it's in the past.
01:01:31Not yet.
01:01:36I had no idea.
01:01:38Yeah, like none.
01:01:39Do you guys know?
01:01:41Yeah, but I can't imagine
01:01:41what she must be going through.
01:01:43Okay, you good?
01:01:46I love you.
01:01:48Now go, grab your mother,
01:01:50bring her in here.
01:01:51Otherwise, we're going to

01:02:12I am so sorry.
01:02:14I've just, I have behaved
01:02:15so badly and I also
01:02:18should have told you
01:02:19about your little brother
01:02:21or sister.
01:02:23I don't know.
01:02:24But we're going to be okay, right?
01:02:26We're good?
01:02:27Yeah?
01:02:28Okay, come here.
01:02:29Oh, I love you.
01:02:32Okay.

01:02:38Okay?

01:08:31Mild he lay his glory by.
01:08:36Born that man no more may die.
01:08:41Born to raise the sons of earth.
01:08:45Born to give them second birth.
01:08:50Hark the Herald Angels sing.
01:08:55Glory to the newborn King.
01:09:02Told you he can sing.
01:09:05Wow.
01:09:06That was something else.
01:09:09Magnificent.
01:09:11I only wish your father could have been here with us.
01:09:15It was his most beloved Christmas carol.
01:09:19Mine too.
01:09:21It so thoroughly captures the spirit of the first nativity.
01:09:26The joy of all present at the coming of Jesus the Christ.
01:09:31What a sight to behold.
01:09:35You speak with a real joy for it yourself, Harry.
01:09:39It's almost like he lived it.
01:09:44The nativity was like nothing before or since.
01:09:52The bright star blazed in the night sky over Bethlehem, the town of David.
01:09:59Marking the side of the miraculous virgin birth.
01:10:03And though seen by all, its meaning was veiled, its purpose uncertain.
01:10:13Thus the nativity was as yet unknown to the local inhabitants.
01:10:17But the Lord of hosts sent forth one of his charges to declare the joyous news.
01:10:25So brilliant was the burst of the Almighty's reflected glory that it terrified shepherds
01:10:30watching their flocks nearby.
01:10:32The angel of the Lord, however, spoke words of comfort to reassure them.
01:10:38Fear not, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
01:10:46For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.
01:10:53And this shall be a sign unto you.
01:10:56Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
01:11:02Suddenly a great multitude of the heavenly hosts joined him, and they praised the Mighty
01:11:08One, saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men.
01:11:16When the angels had departed, returning to heaven, the shepherds entered Bethlehem with
01:11:22due haste to behold what had come to pass.
01:11:31And those shepherds, chosen by God, to bear first witness to his gift of salvation, found the babe lying in
01:11:41a manger, with Mary and Joseph at his side.
01:11:50Shepherds then returned to their fields, praising God for everything they had heard and seen.
01:11:56They made known to all they met what was told to them about the child, whose name was called Jesus.
01:12:04Just as the angel Gabriel had instructed Mary before the babe's immaculate conception.
01:12:17That was the most wonderful telling of the nativity story I have ever heard.
01:12:23Even more passionate than your singing, Harry.
01:12:28Oh, that's dinner.
01:12:31Hey, let's get this.
01:12:40And here it is, Mom's fabled Christmas ham.
01:12:46Fabled?
01:12:47You even know what that means?
01:12:49Yeah, uh, really good.
01:12:52At least that's what Dad calls it.
01:12:55That's true.
01:12:56I do.
01:12:57Okay, thank you, son.
01:13:00And, um, I just want to say thank you to the rest of you two.
01:13:09I was really dreading today.
01:13:13I mean, with Dad last year and James' diagnosis, I really just wanted to be left alone and let it
01:13:25pass.
01:13:29But now I am so glad that you're all here.
01:13:36I mean, it's everyone that we love.
01:13:40And everyone that loves me, even though I've been kind of unlovable lately.
01:13:46But you've stuck by me.
01:13:52Especially you, honey.
01:13:55You've been such a rock through all of this.
01:13:59I love you so much.
01:14:01I love you, baby.
01:14:04And Harry.
01:14:07I mean, what a welcome presence you have been in our family today.
01:14:12And I know we haven't known each other long, but I dare say that none of us will soon forget
01:14:17you.
01:14:19Especially Uncle Petey.
01:14:21No, not the car!
01:14:23No, no, the car!
01:14:26Hey, you're not going to get to drive it, kid.
01:14:28I'm not even old enough.
01:14:32Okay, okay.
01:14:34In all seriousness,
01:14:38I had given in to my circumstances.
01:14:42And you helped open my eyes to that.
01:14:48And so, um, although there is still uncertainty, and I'm bound to have doubts,
01:15:00I know that I'm not alone.
01:15:04And we're not alone.
01:15:07And we are not without hope.
01:15:11So, thank you.
01:15:15You are welcome.
01:15:18And praise God, from whom all blessings flow.
01:15:22I certainly thank him for you being here.
01:15:26Yes, we do.
01:15:27Now, uh, what do you say we get at that fabled Christmas, Sam?
01:15:30All right.
01:15:31Okay.
01:15:32Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:15:33Shouldn't we thank him for that as well?
01:15:41Heavenly Father, we thank you for your many blessings on our lives.
01:15:46And we thank you for sending your Son on Christmas Day for our salvation.
01:15:52Thank you for every family member here at this table.
01:15:56And for the food that has been prepared.
01:15:59We love you.
01:16:00And we ask this all in Jesus' name.
01:16:02Amen.
01:16:04Amen.
01:16:04Amen.
01:16:05Okay.
01:16:06Now, for the fabled ham.
01:16:08Hand me your plates.
01:16:11All this.
01:16:12Here, we can have some.
01:16:18We'll be praying for James.
01:16:21It was wonderful.
01:16:23Thanks for coming.
01:16:25Yeah.
01:16:25We're going to intercept it.
01:16:28Sorry.
01:16:29I know.
01:16:29You guys jumping right in there.
01:16:31So nice to have had you here.
01:16:32Thank you so much.
01:16:32I'm so glad you came.
01:16:34I'm glad we met.
01:16:35Really?
01:16:36Is that your phone that I hear?
01:16:38Yeah.
01:16:39I was calling me at Christmas.
01:16:41Oh, excuse me.
01:16:44We definitely have to get together outside.
01:16:46Grab a cup of coffee or something.
01:16:47You promise?
01:16:48Yeah, you'll get to drive it.
01:16:50Only in the driveway.
01:16:52And don't tell your mother.
01:16:54Right, mother?
01:16:55No.
01:16:56She didn't hear you.
01:16:57We won't say anything.
01:16:59It's fine.
01:16:59You guys are too young to drive.
01:17:01No, nothing.
01:17:02Like it never happened.
01:17:04Oh, it's just incredible.
01:17:05Right.
01:17:06Oh, there he goes.
01:17:16I, uh, I don't know how to say thank you for everything that you've done today.
01:17:22There is no need.
01:17:24I'm but a servant.
01:17:26And I've only done my duty.
01:17:28Mary, come in here.
01:17:30Quick.
01:17:31I better go see what he needs.
01:17:36And this starts after the new year?
01:17:39And you're sure I've been approved?
01:17:42Okay.
01:17:43Um, uh, Merry Christmas to you too.
01:17:47Okay, bye.
01:17:49What happened?
01:17:49Who was that?
01:17:51That was, that was Dr. Eller.
01:17:53Calling on Christmas?
01:17:55When did she want?
01:17:57She got me in on a clinical trial for experimental treatment.
01:18:00Wait, it's starting January.
01:18:02I mean, baby, there's no guarantees.
01:18:04I don't know.
01:18:05We'll take it.
01:18:05We'll take it.
01:18:06Take it.
01:18:06Oh, my gosh, babe.
01:18:08Guys, is everything okay?
01:18:10What happened?
01:18:11Oh, my gosh.
01:18:12That's better than okay.
01:18:14It's, um, it's fantastic.
01:18:17What is, Mom?
01:18:18What?
01:18:18Uh, sweetheart, that was my doctor.
01:18:20And, um, it looks like I'm going to be starting a new treatment.
01:18:24Looks hopeful.
01:18:26We prayed for that.
01:18:27You got it again.
01:18:28Oh, my gosh.
01:18:30You got the answer, isn't it?
01:18:31Oh, my gosh.
01:18:34Oh, my gosh.
01:18:35I mean, we, we knew the doctor told us that a trial was a possibility when she gave us the
01:18:40diagnosis, but it seemed like a long shot, so.
01:18:43I'm really happy for you guys.
01:18:45Thanks, babe.
01:18:47Oh, my gosh.
01:18:48Oh, my gosh, you guys.
01:18:50I'm so happy.
01:18:52Where's Harry?
01:18:54He left.
01:18:56Without saying goodbye?
01:18:58Yeah, he said that he needed to go.
01:19:00I guess he didn't have time to wait.
01:19:01I offered to give him a ride.
01:19:02He said he had to go by himself.
01:19:03He went out the door and he was gone.
01:19:06Just gone into the darkness.
01:19:08Just disappeared into the night.
01:19:10Mr. A-Man right to the end.
01:19:13He left this for you.
01:19:15Might ask that you don't open it until after we leave.
01:19:19See what I mean?
01:19:23Merry Christmas!
01:19:27And Happy New Year, right?
01:19:29Mm-hmm.
01:19:30Hey, we stick together, okay?
01:19:33I support you, you support me.
01:19:35We'll be fine.
01:19:37No.
01:19:38How about I grab the kids and we find out what Harry left you?
01:19:42That's right.
01:19:43I know.
01:19:44Almost forgot.
01:19:45Me too.
01:19:46Let's go.
01:19:47Okay.
01:19:49Kids!
01:19:50Come on!
01:19:51Come on!
01:19:52Come on!
01:19:53Come on!
01:19:57Read it out loud!
01:19:59Yeah, so we all can hear it!
01:20:00All right, give her a minute.
01:20:03Dad!
01:20:07Dearest Mary, before you read on, first go to the living room.
01:20:12There on the end table you will find a memento which I have left for you.
01:20:19Okay.
01:20:20I guess we're going to go to the living room.
01:20:22I guess we are.
01:20:23Okay.
01:20:24All right.
01:20:26All right.
01:20:40It's the picture.
01:20:44I guess we're going to go to the living room.
01:20:45But it got broken.
01:20:47Yeah, we saw it all smashed up.
01:20:50The glass, the frame, everything.
01:20:53The glass doesn't even have a crack.
01:20:55It looks perfect.
01:20:58It looks perfect.
01:20:59It is perfect.
01:21:02Hold it.
01:21:11I leave you this restored gift as a token, ever to remind you that ours is a mighty God for
01:21:18whom nothing is impossible, including the mending of the broken hearts of those suffering from
01:21:26loss and sorrow.
01:21:29He who sacrificed his son to save the lost will never leave or forsake you.
01:21:34him.
01:21:35So do not cast away your confidence in him.
01:21:38And remember that though we know not what the future holds, we know who holds the future.
01:21:45Servant of the almighty herald.
01:21:47Huh.
01:21:51Let me see that.
01:21:53Yeah.
01:21:54Huh.
01:21:58Hey, he spelled his name wrong.
01:22:01What do you mean?
01:22:02See, that's not the name Harold.
01:22:06That would be H-A-R-O-L-D.
01:22:10Huh.
01:22:12What do you know?
01:22:13I don't understand.
01:22:15Well, Lydia's right.
01:22:16This isn't the name Harold.
01:22:18It's Harold as in H-E-R-A-L-D.
01:22:23What's that?
01:22:25It was a job in ancient times.
01:22:28Harold was kind of a messenger.
01:22:30Yeah.
01:22:32And someone who would deliver important news for a high-ranking person, like a king.
01:22:38Or the king of kings.
01:22:41As in, a Harold angel?
01:22:45What are you saying?
01:22:48Harry's an angel?
01:22:49Harry's an angel?
01:22:49I told you, Lydia.
01:22:52I told you.
01:22:53I told you.
01:22:54I knew he wasn't human.
01:22:55I just knew it.
01:22:56What?
01:22:57You said it was a dumb idea.
01:22:59But now what do you have to say about it?
01:23:01I told her, Mom.
01:23:03I told her, Dad.
01:23:04But she wouldn't listen.
01:23:05I can't wait to tell Josh about this.
01:23:09Oh, man.
01:23:11What a day.
01:23:12This was the best Christmas ever.
01:23:14Ever.
01:23:15Let's do it!
01:23:47Let's do it!
01:23:48How still we see thee lie,
01:23:54Above thy deep and dreamless sleep,
01:23:59The silent stars will shine,
01:24:06Yet in thy dark streets shineth
01:24:10The everlasting light
01:24:18The hopes and fears of all the years
01:24:24Are met in thee tonight
01:24:36How silently, how silently
01:24:42The wondrous gift is given
01:24:48So God imparts to human hearts
01:24:53The blessings of His hand
01:25:00No ear may hear His coming
01:25:06But in this world of sin
01:25:13Where meek souls will receive Him still
01:25:18The dear Christ enters in
01:25:53The dear Christ is the one who is
01:25:55Oh, little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie.
01:26:08Above thy deep and dreamless thee the silent stars go by.
01:26:19Yet in thy dark streets shining the everlasting light.
01:26:32The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.
01:26:48The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee.
