08:48Going to Granddad's party tomorrow is really important.
08:52We need to celebrate him and our family.
08:56I didn't mean to make it sound like an emergency or anything.
08:59I mean, he went out, big deal, right?
09:01I mean, maybe he's just buying presents or something.
09:05You don't want to overreact and neither do a lot.
09:09So did he respond to your texts?
09:13No, no, and he knows I worry and it,
09:15I try not to.
09:18I mean, he doesn't like me keeping tabs on him.
09:20He says, I'm a grown man, you know.
09:23Who is going through a hard time right now.
09:26I know, and I'm doing everything I can to pull him out of it, you know.
09:30I'm suggesting a trip or a new club or anything.
09:36He enjoys being with you.
09:38I know.
09:40I love spending all this time with him, but I don't know,
09:43this whole retirement thing has just knocked him off balance.
09:49Well, he is an artist and he's very passionate about his work.
09:54But maybe he'll find something to fill that space.
09:59I don't know.
10:00I don't know, Eric said that he wasn't in the mood for Christmas this year.
10:06You're telling me there's frustration and heartache
10:17and how difficult it is, you're telling me this?
10:20None of that matters, because in the end,
10:22you have this collection in a beautiful gown.
10:25Yes, it's all beautiful, and yes, it's all worth it,
10:27but it's not worth putting your life on the line for it.
10:30It's not worth it.
10:31It's not worth it.
10:31Maybe you had it right, Stephanie.
10:46Maybe you checked out at the right time.
10:48This getting old thing is not everything it's cracked up to be.
10:54I'm doing my best.
10:55I can do it.
11:00I'll pay it forward.
11:01I'll pay it forward.
11:31Absolutely, thank you.
11:32Oh, my God, listen to that.
11:35I love you.
11:36I love you.
11:36I love you.
11:37I love you.
11:44I knew I was going to find you here.
12:01You guys were in there a while.
12:04Yeah, there's some long lists.
12:07They're not lists.
12:09They're letters.
12:10To Santa!
12:12You let him know what you want?
12:14Kelly helped me write mine.
12:16We worked on them together.
12:18Can we see?
12:19You guys didn't ask for anything?
12:28Not for us.
12:29We already have enough.
12:30Right, Hayes?
12:31Right.
12:33I'm going to give your gifts to other kids.
12:35So they can have presents and a Merry Christmas.
12:39We thought of the kids you told us about at the mission.
12:42We have a house.
12:45Their families don't.
12:47Some kids live in places where there's not enough food.
12:51Or doctors like Finn.
12:52You really thought this through.
12:58At first they wanted a drone.
13:02But making other people happy is more important than stuff.
13:07We want everyone all over the world to have a Merry Christmas.
13:13Kelly, I think that's a beautiful idea.
13:16Was mine too.
13:19Santa's going to love these.
13:21We're so proud of you.
13:23Come here, you guys.
13:24Yeah.
13:25So sweet.
13:26Yes.
13:27You guys are just amazing.
13:30Yeah.
13:30You're so amazing.
13:33Come on, Hayes.
13:34Let's go make the envelopes.
13:36All right.
13:39Oh, my God.
13:41I mean, can you believe this?
13:42Yeah.
13:45Very, very thankful right now.
13:48All right, you know what?
13:50It all starts with you.
13:51You were the love of my life.
13:54I knew an incredible mom to those two kids.
13:57And I mean, every day is Christmas with you, babe.
14:02I love you so much.
14:04I love you more than I can express.
14:06Maybe we should give this a try.
14:14No.
14:14No.
14:14Still nothing.
14:28Nothing.
14:28No.
14:28Eric just needs a little extra support right now.
14:33And he's not alone in that.
14:34Especially this time of the year.
14:36When people need generosity and compassion the most.
14:39Yeah.
14:42Okay.
14:44You, uh...
14:46You caught me.
14:48What are you doing?
14:50Well, I knew the office would be closed today, so I thought I'd pop in and just see if anything's changed.
14:57Nothing's changed.
14:58Nah.
14:59And you can pop in here anytime you want.
15:01This is your company.
15:03I know that.
15:05I appreciate that.
15:08So, uh...
15:08How'd you know I'd be here?
15:10Where else would you be?
15:13Good point.
15:14Yeah.
15:16Tomorrow's Christmas.
15:18Still a lot of work to do.
15:20I mean, that eggnog's not gonna spike itself.
15:22You know that.
15:23Also a good point.
15:24How you doing?
15:28Come on, Rich.
15:30Parents are supposed to worry about children.
15:32Not the other way around.
15:34Well, I'm always gonna worry about you.
15:37Because I kind of like you.
15:39Like having you around.
15:40I like talking to you.
15:42So let's talk.
15:44What's going on?
15:46Is it this season?
15:47Is it this new stage in your life?
15:50What is it?
15:52You know you're not doing this alone, right?
15:54We're all here for you.
15:55It's gonna be a house full of people tomorrow.
15:57We're gonna celebrate another Forster Christmas.
15:59Yeah.
15:59Donna has a fantastic day planned.
16:01Yes.
16:02And you're gonna be a fantastic host, as always.
16:05Yeah.
16:06Hey.
16:08I know you're not leading this company anymore.
16:11You're still leading this family.
16:14And toasts and...
16:16Christmas spirit.
16:19And making memories.
16:20Plus, you won't let anybody else touch your piano, so...
16:25Ho, ho, ho.
16:28Yeah, you make it sound wonderful.
16:31Because it is wonderful.
16:32Well, I...
16:35I look forward to it.
16:40It's just been strange, you know?
16:42I've been dragging my feet.
16:44But, uh...
16:45I don't want to let anybody down.
16:49Certainly not the children.
16:53You've never let anybody down.
16:55You're gonna start now.
16:56You have a good life.
16:59Donna loves you.
17:03Your whole family loves you.
17:06More than you'll ever know.
17:10Me.
17:11Me.
17:14Oh, I love you.
17:16Yeah, I love you too, buddy.
17:18Ho, ho, ho.
17:20Okay.
17:21Okay.
17:24Take your moment.
17:26I'll see you tomorrow.
17:27Okay.
17:28Okay.
17:57Greatest design of my life, and everyone's going to see it tomorrow.
