00:00:24It's a good day for saving the Christmas ranch
00:00:31There's no better place, I know
00:00:34To give your heart a little, you'll die, love
00:00:37So come hop to me, or we can't lose it
00:00:41Hey, hey, here we go
00:00:44Let's come together, whatever, whatever
00:00:57Call Steve, make sure he fixes the railing on the front steps before someone falls
00:01:06Oh, and take Nibbles out of the petting zoo
00:01:08The irony isn't funny anymore
00:01:12That goat has issues
00:01:24Good morning, team
00:01:25Good morning
00:01:26Hey
00:01:27Ah, Maria, whatever you did with those pancakes yesterday
00:01:30I tasted heaven sent
00:01:34Talked to George about fixing Blitzen's gates
00:01:36It's the third time he got out this week
00:01:37Oh, Marco, I've got your mom's birthday present in my office
00:01:40Make sure you pick it up before you leave, okay?
00:01:42Sure
00:01:43Um, double confirm with Drew
00:01:46That he knows that the hay delivery is for noon and not three
00:01:49Okay
00:01:52Connor in the chimney in the room
00:01:53Bathroom sink in 1240
00:01:54It's my woodchuck water heater in eight
00:01:56Good morning, George
00:01:57Oh, hi, Perry
00:01:58Did you get all the messages I sent you last night?
00:02:00Let's see
00:02:01Yeah, all 12 of them
00:02:02Oh, I'm so sorry
00:02:03I just feel like there's a million things to get done before Saturday
00:02:07Everyone here knows how much this festival means to you, Carrie
00:02:12It's gonna be wonderful
00:02:14Just, just like it is every year
00:02:16Thank you
00:02:18Oh, uh, one last thing
00:02:20Um, there seems to be a string of lights
00:02:22That are out on the main tree
00:02:24Do you think that you could
00:02:24I'll have Connor get on it first thing
00:02:29I don't know what I'd do without you
00:02:30Really?
00:02:32Oh, have Sandra send Carl the check for the turkeys
00:02:35You've got quite a lot on your plate today, huh?
00:02:38Two days before Christmas?
00:02:39Nah
00:02:39I've got nothing to do
00:02:40Oh, I gotta take this
00:02:42Hi, Mr. Townsend, how can I help you?
00:02:45I was hoping you could stop by my office this morning, Miss Williams
00:02:47I've been trying to reach you for several weeks now
00:02:50I've left quite a few messages
00:02:51Oh, uh, well, I've been really busy preparing for the festival
00:02:55I understand
00:02:56However, there's a matter of the utmost urgency I must discuss with you
00:02:59Oh, um, well, I'm super swamped today
00:03:02Do you think you can wait till after the holidays?
00:03:05Oh, I'm afraid it'll be very much too late by then
00:03:07I really must insist you come in today
00:03:09Okay, I guess I can, uh, try to stop by later today
00:03:14I'd recommend the sooner the better
00:03:15Sure
00:03:16Okay, thank you
00:03:19Thankers
00:03:32Oh, and, uh, have Grant make an extra dozen cookies for the elves to pass around while people are walking
00:03:41Hey, what's wrong?
00:03:45I am so glad you're here
00:03:46Why, what's up?
00:03:48Cabin 8, flooded this morning
00:03:50Oh, water heater?
00:03:51Fortunately, none of the Julian's belongings got damaged, but we're booked solid
00:03:54I don't know where to put them
00:03:56Uh, how many more reservations are coming in between now and Saturday?
00:04:01Just one
00:04:02A Mindy Brown arrives today
00:04:03Single?
00:04:05Looks like it
00:04:07Good, uh, just put her in Cabin 7
00:04:10But you hate having people across from you?
00:04:13It's Christmas, Hannah
00:04:14We always have room at this inn
00:04:18Ugh
00:04:21I really don't have time for you today, Mr. Dunn
00:04:23You know, I really wish you'd call me John
00:04:25Funny, I wish you wouldn't call, period
00:04:27You know, a lesser man would be discouraged, but lucky me, I'm thick-skinned
00:04:32I'm not selling the ranch, Mr. Dunn
00:04:34Not today, not tomorrow, not ever
00:04:37And as much as I adore these weekly exchanges
00:04:40You really don't have the time
00:04:41But I do have a brilliant idea
00:04:44Ooh, congratulations
00:04:45Which I'm sure for you must have been a first
00:04:49Ouch
00:04:49It's the holidays, Mr. Dunn
00:04:51Why don't you just give it a rest?
00:04:53Take a vacation
00:04:54Right, but I'm thinking
00:05:00I mean, I couldn't agree more
00:05:01I do need a vacation
00:05:14Come in
00:05:17Oh, hey, Grandma
00:05:17Hey
00:05:20Are you busy?
00:05:21I can come back later
00:05:23Oh, no, you look upset
00:05:24Come sit down
00:05:25What is it?
00:05:27I'm sure it's nothing
00:05:28But I can't find Sandra to ask
00:05:30Oh, uh, what is it?
00:05:33Charlie Kilgore called today
00:05:34The check
00:05:35The chicken feed
00:05:36It bounced
00:05:38Well, that's impossible
00:05:39That's what I told him
00:05:41But I can't find Sandra
00:05:42So I don't know what to tell him
00:05:44Well, you think she's at lunch?
00:05:45I haven't seen her all day
00:05:48I'll take care of her, Grandma
00:05:49Please
00:05:50Okay
00:06:03Hi, welcome to the ranch
00:06:05Can I help you?
00:06:06Yes, actually, I'm checking in
00:06:08Have a seat
00:06:10Name?
00:06:13Should be under John Dunn
00:06:19I'm so sorry, Mr. Dunn
00:06:20I don't have anything under that name
00:06:21Uh, you know what?
00:06:23Actually, my assistant
00:06:24She sometimes makes these reservations for me
00:06:26Can you check under her name?
00:06:27Mindy Brown?
00:06:27Oh, yes
00:06:30Here it is
00:06:33Something the matter?
00:06:34No, no
00:06:35It's...
00:06:36The room you booked
00:06:38This morning we had some unfortunate issues
00:06:40And I'm afraid the only thing I have left
00:06:42Is a cabin at the main lodge
00:06:44It's okay
00:06:45As long as it's here
00:06:45I'm happy
00:06:47I just want to relax
00:06:47And enjoy the Christmas spirit
00:06:49Alright
00:06:50Well, it's the first one over there
00:06:52As soon as you walk out
00:06:54Thank you
00:06:58And, uh, I love what you've done with the place
00:07:00Thank you
00:07:11I can't be right
00:07:19We're sorry
00:07:19The number you have dialed
00:07:20Is no longer in service
00:07:29How can we be broke?
00:07:31Am I to assume you didn't issue this bank transfer to Ms. Flowers?
00:07:34No, of course not
00:07:35That's, um, that's everything we have
00:07:40Oh, I was afraid of that
00:07:43I brought you in here today to talk about your loan payments
00:07:46Uh, what about them?
00:07:49Why, you're behind, of course
00:07:51Uh, that's, um, that's also impossible
00:07:54Because we are never late on our payments
00:07:56Well, I would concur
00:07:57That's why I was so troubled when it was brought to my attention
00:07:59After being three months overdue
00:08:01Three months?
00:08:02Now, when I talked to Ms. Flowers
00:08:04She reassured me that she would take care of it
00:08:06However, nothing has happened
00:08:07And with the foreclosure deadline being so close
00:08:10I'm sorry, did you just say foreclosure deadline?
00:08:13I wasn't given any deadline
00:08:15Oh, dear
00:08:17Uh, this is very unfortunate
00:08:21The account has to be brought up to date by close of business on the 24th
00:08:27That's in two days
00:08:29This is why I was trying to reach you all month
00:08:34While ordinarily the bank would be closed for the holiday
00:08:37Given the circumstances
00:08:38The least I can do is give you until 5 o'clock, end of day
00:08:43As a deadline
00:08:44To recover three months of missed payments
00:08:46That's almost $15,000
00:08:49Mm, just shy
00:08:50Given the late payments and fees, but
00:08:52You expect me to come up with $15,000 in 48 hours?
00:08:58No, Ms. Williams, I expect
00:09:00You own the bank
00:09:01Can't you just, uh, just give me a, give me another loan?
00:09:05When the property's already being held as collateral
00:09:08I'm afraid I can't
00:09:13I'd be more than happy to speak to the authorities on your behalf
00:09:17If you decide to press charges against Ms. Flowers
00:09:22You'll have to find her first
00:09:27Don't worry, Mr. Townsend
00:09:29I'll get you your money by Saturday
00:09:31Thank you
00:09:33No, but, uh, you don't understand
00:09:40Okay
00:09:41Look, I know it's a lot of money
00:09:43And it's all my fault
00:09:44Because I wanted to pay the loan off quickly
00:09:46And so the monthly payments were higher
00:09:48I just can't believe Sandra would do something like this
00:09:51When they find her, I hope they lock her up forever
00:09:54Now, Connor, anger isn't going to solve this problem
00:09:57No, it isn't
00:09:58And while it's a major blow
00:10:00It's not something we can't recover from
00:10:03Today's numbers were great
00:10:04We've got tomorrow and the festival
00:10:08And that'll bring us up to date
00:10:10I don't want to burden everyone with what's happened
00:10:13But I'll have to let the staff know
00:10:15Why I can't give bonuses this year
00:10:16Carrie, don't worry about us
00:10:18We'll do whatever it takes
00:10:19You know that
00:10:20Thank you, I know
00:10:21I mean, this place is not just a job for you
00:10:24Like it is for everyone else
00:10:25And you're not just employees
00:10:27You're
00:10:29You're family, really
00:10:30And we take care of family
00:10:32I hate that I have to do this to you all
00:10:34It wasn't you that put us here, child
00:10:38And it won't be you alone
00:10:39That gets us out of this mess
00:10:42Thanks, George
00:10:44Okay
00:10:46You know, I guess I'll just have to break the bad news
00:10:48Before the rumors and gossip get out of hand
00:10:51And I've been in the bud
00:10:51Wish me luck
00:10:59I also have work to do
00:11:04Me too
00:11:06Don't worry, Rose
00:11:07That granddaughter of yours has quite a head on her shoulders
00:11:11She'll figure this out
00:11:13And like I said, she isn't alone
00:11:16I don't know what we'd do around here without you, George
00:11:21Well
00:11:23You'll never have to find out
00:11:31Oh, excuse me, miss
00:11:33Do you happen to work here?
00:11:35Yes
00:11:36I poured the last of the coffee
00:11:37Would it be possible to make some more?
00:11:39Ah, yes, certainly, sir
00:11:40I'll go fetch me a pot right now
00:11:47Come here
00:11:52Who is that?
00:11:55That's Mindy Brown
00:11:56What?
00:11:58Uh, John Dunn
00:12:00The reservation was accidentally in his assistant's name
00:12:02Oh, accidentally, Mike
00:12:04What?
00:12:05That is the annoying developer guy
00:12:07How was I supposed to know he had a real name?
00:12:09I don't know
00:12:11What is he doing here?
00:12:12I don't know
00:12:13I thought you would know
00:12:14What would I know?
00:12:15I don't know
00:12:17I don't
00:12:18Well, you know what?
00:12:19I'm gonna go over there and find out
00:12:20Yeah
00:12:23Right now
00:12:23I
00:12:28I have seen some pretty underhanded things in my day, Mr. Dunn
00:12:31But this one certainly takes the cake
00:12:34Carrie?
00:12:36What?
00:12:36Is that you?
00:12:39What are you doing here, Mr. Dunn?
00:12:41Just taking your suggestion
00:12:42I'm on vacation
00:12:43Uh-huh
00:12:44We've been booked for two months
00:12:48Fine
00:12:48I might have put it under my assistant's name
00:12:51Because I didn't think you'd accept the reservation under mine
00:12:54And what makes you think I won't kick you out right now?
00:12:56You would kick me out on Christmas
00:12:59No
00:13:00No
00:13:02I wouldn't
00:13:02Um, ugh
00:13:03I mean
00:13:04Well, you're already here, so
00:13:07But you've heard my final offer
00:13:08And
00:13:09I'm sticking with it
00:13:10I'm not selling
00:13:10I know, but you haven't heard my final offer
00:13:12I don't care what you're offering, Mr. Dunn
00:13:16Just
00:13:17Enjoy your weekend
00:13:18Um, yes
00:13:48I'm sure you've heard my final announcement
00:13:55finally get it get what mr dunn just how much this place really means to you
00:14:03and in the five minutes you've been here you figured that out no actually i realized this
00:14:07earlier this is your home i know that carrie that this place means the world to you and you
00:14:14don't want to leave so what if you didn't have to didn't have to leave exactly i'll just have a
00:14:22clause drawn up that says you and your beloved gran can still run the place and you'd be our
00:14:27landlord well i would be the owner well see the funny thing about that is mr dunn i already do
00:14:33run this place i do it unless you fit just think of the potential that's all i'm asking think of
00:14:41the potential the potential yes this property is 10 miles and one of the most premier ski mountains
00:14:49in the entire tri-state area no you don't say and if you just think about expanding even just building
00:14:55a bigger lodge carrie a bigger lodge could hold 10 times the occupancy of what it holds now
00:15:04why me mr dunn i mean how'd you even find this place we've never been up for sale first off
00:15:09i do
00:15:10insist please call me john i keep expecting to look over my shoulder and see my father
00:15:14secondly because that's my business i find diamonds in the rough
00:15:19and what's in it for you buying the ranch i'm a developer it's what i do i find great things
00:15:25and
00:15:26i turn them into fantastic money making opportunities now you may not see the opportunity for growth yet
00:15:30but it's there trust me
00:15:35this might surprise you but i don't totally disagree with everything you're saying
00:15:40i've been thinking about making a few changes on my own
00:15:44wait i'm i'm sorry could you repeat that i think i just blacked out for a second you actually
00:15:49agree with me on something yes i've been thinking of adding it
00:15:56you don't leave me hanging adding what change growing change adding what a day spa okay a spa
00:16:04just sounds so unlike you
00:16:08you don't think i'm a spa girl
00:16:12no you don't like the idea of a stranger touching you any more than you want someone you know
00:16:16touching you pedicures i'm sure you think are a waste of money because your feet are always
00:16:20covered boots and manicures you never get them unless you're going to a friend's wedding
00:16:25how do you know all that well the massage part because i told you a while back on the phone
00:16:30that i get one once a week and that kind of creeped you out a little bit pedicures just because
00:16:34i pay attention and manicures because that was the excuse you gave me right before you hung up
00:16:39on me two months ago
00:16:48now that i know that you're open to change you ever thought about led lighting how do you feel about
00:16:53it incredibly indifferent do you know how much money you can be saving just by switching over
00:16:59to computer graphics and displays other than actual lights the man doesn't want lights on the light
00:17:05displays interesting choice excuse me i've got to get some real work done see you around it's a good
00:17:11idea you should think about it leds see you later mr dunn
00:17:24good enough with jail breaks okay buddy you wander into farmer walker's field again and it's gonna be
00:17:29you who ends up on the christmas menu in addition to led lighting i was also thinking that we
00:17:40what you can't think and talk at the same time mr dunn
00:17:43uh uh it's a reindeer splitson he keeps getting out
00:17:50a reindeer

00:21:08you know it's a it's a shame isn't it
00:21:11sir
00:21:12you know just everything going on carrie is handling it like a champ i have to say
00:21:17you know
00:21:18well yes all things considered she thought it best
00:21:22i still can't believe it
00:21:24i never thought sandra could be capable of such a thing
00:21:27no of course not who would
00:21:29you know miss rose and carrie took her in when she couldn't get a job
00:21:32and to take every last dime from that job
00:21:35she did what i mean the the absolute nerve
00:21:39i hope carrie can find the woman
00:21:41it might be the only way to save this place
00:21:44can you imagine mr townsend giving a deadline like that
00:21:47no
00:21:48uh no i really can't and especially on
00:21:51christmas eve
00:21:52of all days
00:21:53two days to make up three months of this loan payments
00:21:56well bankers aren't really known for their hearts of gold
00:21:58and when it's that much money
00:22:00fifteen thousand dollars
00:22:02fifteen thousand
00:22:02fifteen thousand dollars in two days
00:22:04i hate to think this place could get foreclosed on
00:22:07yes

00:23:10ball knees
00:23:28hey connor uh can you help me hang this
00:23:31i guess
00:23:35you know it's interesting the whole tradition of kissing under the mistletoe
00:23:39it actually started in ancient greece
00:23:41during the festival of saturnalia and wedding ceremonies
00:23:44because it's associated with fertility
00:23:47it's a parasite
00:23:49invasive to the tree it's slowly killing
00:23:52and it's poisonous
00:23:54i told carrie she'll be risking a lawsuit if she keeps the stuff lying around
00:23:57it's worth a kiss
00:24:00what now
00:24:00i gotta call my sister

00:27:02i'm a developer that's what i do
00:27:03okay mr businessman
00:27:05and
00:27:06what changes would you suggest here
00:27:09well to start have you thought about increasing your prices around here
00:27:12i'm not interested in gouging my customers mr dunn
00:27:15but i thought we were getting a hot cocoa
00:27:18start with that today honey maybe next time
00:27:21see not all families can afford to pay ten dollars for a cup of cocoa
00:27:25excuse me
00:27:26hey drew
00:27:27i've got an idea
00:27:28can you go inside get an extra cup of hot cocoa and a bag of cookies for that family over
00:27:32there
00:27:32and tell him that santa sent you
00:27:34and that he knows that she's been a very good girl this year
00:27:36good idea
00:27:37right on there boss
00:27:39thank you
00:27:41do you have any other great business ideas for me
00:27:45have you thought about theme displays
00:27:47yeah um christmas is usually the theme we run with here
00:27:51it's kind of worked pretty good
00:27:53very funny
00:27:53i'm talking about tying in hot movies
00:27:56trending topics current fads that kind of thing
00:27:59ah
00:27:59so you're uh you're looking to make christmas more culturally relevant
00:28:03exactly
00:28:03well more relevant to the new generation
00:28:06with gadgets and technology these days you're vying for everyone's attention with provincial strategies
00:28:12provincial
00:28:12you mean old
00:28:14outdated
00:28:15have you seen what they're doing with drones
00:28:17it's amazing
00:28:17yeah because that sounds cheap
00:28:19versus the amount you're spending on electricity
00:28:21wow
00:28:22i'm sorry
00:28:23um i i
00:28:25i've never heard anyone gush about the glory of christmas drones
00:28:29hold on let me think
00:28:30uh
00:28:30yeah no
00:28:31i haven't
00:28:32okay fine
00:28:33i'll let you live in the dark ages with technology
00:28:36what about admission
00:28:37kids under 12
00:28:38free
00:28:39oh so now you don't want kids to see santa either
00:28:43no
00:28:43no no no
00:28:44that
00:28:44that's not what i'm saying
00:28:46what i'm suggesting is that they pay to see santa
00:28:50and maybe the babies can be free
00:28:51okay
00:28:52um
00:28:53in all due respect mr dunn
00:28:55i think you should maybe take this one back to the drawing board

00:33:49i think we'll have mr townsend's money by the end of today
00:33:52oh sweetie that's wonderful news
00:33:55no matter what happens my child
00:33:56we still have each other
00:33:58i know
00:33:59and we'll always have this place
00:34:01i never wanted our home to be a burden to you
00:34:04it's not and it never has been
00:34:06you know how much i love it here
00:34:08i do but i don't want this to be the only thing you love
00:34:12nonsense
00:34:19okay so we are on track to make fifteen thousand dollars today
00:34:23but just to make sure
00:34:25i think i'll have to call the suppliers that are expecting a check tomorrow
00:34:29and see if they'll wait until after the new year
00:34:32well i can deal with all our regular vendors
00:34:34then you can just call everyone that we only use for the holidays
00:34:39thank you george that would be a huge help
00:34:42i heard mr dunn talking about how we need to raise some prices
00:34:45that's not gonna happen
00:34:46but what i do want to do is drum up some new business
00:34:48so hannah if you can repush that social media campaign that would be really helpful
00:34:52yeah i'll put all the festival information online
00:34:54perfect
00:34:57i did see some old shuttle buses out back do those still work
00:35:01mr dunn uh this is a private matter thank you so much though
00:35:04of course
00:35:05oh they work
00:35:08we just don't have much of an occasion to use them
00:35:10see i disagree i think we have a great opportunity to use them
00:35:14think about it
00:35:16we offer shuttle rides
00:35:18especially to the guests up at the ski lodge
00:35:20right hundreds of people with disposable income
00:35:23they keep taking shuttles to and from the airport
00:35:25because they don't want to drive on the mountain roads
00:35:28why don't we just offer them a lift
00:35:30it's not a bad idea
00:35:32hannah will you um call howard at the lodge
00:35:35and see if he's okay with that
00:35:36right away
00:35:37and i'll get the chains out of storage in case it snows
00:35:42mrs jordan from the elementary school
00:35:44should have a list of bus drivers that might want to volunteer
00:35:46good thank you gran as always
00:35:50well let's get started
00:35:52thanks for your time everyone
00:35:58huh
00:36:00which one blabbed
00:36:01it's not their fault don't blame them
00:36:04well great
00:36:05so i guess now you know
00:36:07we're facing foreclosure
00:36:08you happy
00:36:09no not really
00:36:10my entire business is built on the fact that the owner is happy with what's happening
00:36:15because they want to fulfill their potential not because they know their choice
00:36:18it sounds like that's important
00:36:22they can wait
00:36:23no i i insist
00:36:50i think he likes you
00:36:54he hasn't tried to bite you
00:36:56no
00:36:57more buddies
00:37:00you know carrie likes you too
00:37:02well she has tried to bite me
00:37:05metaphorically
00:37:07well that's because she loves this place
00:37:10i know that
00:37:12i'm not trying to steal it away from her
00:37:13i even told her she and gran could stay here
00:37:16no one else is going to cut her that deal
00:37:17well that's true
00:37:18and if she were interested in selling i'm sure she'd jump at it but
00:37:24she'd never sell unless she had to
00:37:27i'm not rooting for her to fail if that worries you
00:37:29you know it did cross my mind
00:37:33i wouldn't do that to carrie
00:37:35no
00:37:36i don't believe you would
00:37:43you know
00:37:44i don't think i'd ever decorated a cookie until coming here
00:37:49it's one of my favorite things to do
00:37:51mom and dad loved cookie decorating
00:37:53your father never had any finesse for it
00:37:56his red blobs for santas
00:37:58his green blobs for trees
00:38:01kind of like this one
00:38:02yeah exactly
00:38:06well like father like daughter i guess
00:38:08a new batch coming in hot
00:38:11oh good john we're just about finished with this batch
00:38:15oh there we go
00:38:19frosting cookies i haven't done this since i was a boy
00:38:21have a seat and give us a hand
00:38:23i might be a little rusty
00:38:25decorating cookies aren't very hard
00:38:29you say that now but i'm guessing you've never had cricket macaroons
00:38:33that sounds horrible
00:38:34oh they're so crunchy and it's hard to get those crickets to stand still
00:38:40sounds like you've been all over the world
00:38:42carrie said you speak like a million languages
00:38:44just shy of a million
00:38:45eight
00:38:46give or take
00:38:48conversationally at best
00:38:49i was a military brat so
00:38:5112 countries over 20 years
00:38:54that's so exciting
00:38:55yeah it was pretty cool
00:38:57it was a great experience
00:38:58it was just always hard to make new friends every time we moved
00:39:01but we had a big family a lot of brothers and sisters
00:39:03so that was fun
00:39:04where are your folks now
00:39:06um i'm down in arizona
00:39:08try to get out there every chance i get it's about four or five times a year
00:39:11they live in the same development as cousin shirley
00:39:15del vista village
00:39:16it's beautiful
00:39:17yeah it's a great spot
00:39:19they're happy and that's all i care about
00:39:21so what's the most beautiful place you've ever been to
00:39:24top of mind swiss alps
00:39:27swiss alps are absolutely gorgeous
00:39:29although oh the sun rises in istanbul
00:39:32chef's kiss
00:39:33but the most amazing experiences are that's meeting the people
00:39:37experiencing the culture
00:39:39traditions
00:39:40the food i'm a big big foodie
00:39:44so those are some of the most beautiful things
00:39:47i've always wanted to go to tahiti
00:39:48or really anywhere
00:39:50see some things
00:39:51tahiti you need to go as soon as you can
00:39:54sadly most of my views these days are from a hotel window or an airplane window
00:39:58your view from your madison avenue penthouse doesn't sound so bad
00:40:02yeah it's not too bad
00:40:04it's nothing like this place
00:40:05i mean this place this is beautiful
00:40:07it's a gem
00:40:13wow a gem that needs a little polishing apparently
00:40:16well the shiniest diamonds come from the most polishing
00:40:27okay

00:45:03i may have gone a little overboard
00:45:06well you
00:45:07you say that every year
00:45:10i imagine
00:45:12christmas will look very different next year
00:45:14don't you give up rose
00:45:17carrie's sure she's gonna get that fifteen thousand
00:45:20and i am too
00:45:22i don't suppose you know about the incident between hannah and connor today do you
00:45:25i heard she snapped at him
00:45:27well maybe that will make him wake up and realize how infatuated with him she is
00:45:32men can be so clueless
00:45:34well you know
00:45:36women can be just as blind as men in these circumstances
00:45:40how many clues does he need
00:45:43it's plain to see that she's pining for him
00:45:45i can't believe he can't see it
00:45:49are you leaking air over there do you have something to say
00:45:52well you're a fine one to talk
00:45:54if you'd only let go of the past
00:45:57maybe you could share a future with
00:45:59someone else
00:46:00come again
00:46:02ray's been gone
00:46:03twelve years rose
00:46:06he would want you to move on

00:46:11like you're a married woman
00:46:18i can't get it off
00:46:20say what
00:46:21i can't get it off
00:46:23i may have gained a few pounds since it was first put on there
00:46:28and shame on you for making me say that
00:46:36i didn't have the heart to have it cut off
00:46:39somehow it felt disrespectful to ray's memory
00:46:42rose
00:46:48do you think there's room for one more
00:46:51there's only one way to know
00:47:07so a little elf told me there might be some hot cocoa in here
00:47:11let me guess
00:47:12her name starts the g under the ram
00:47:16here

00:47:33well don't get too comfortable
00:47:37are you okay
00:47:40you know i've spent every christmas here since i was a little girl
00:47:44this place has always felt like home to me
00:47:48so why the long face i've seen the crowds you should have your fifteen grand
00:47:54well it's kind of more like 50 50 i'm sorry fifty thousand dollars how i didn't get all the facts
00:48:02i jumped first and i thought on the way down that's the story of my life
00:48:12grant and the others they don't know i didn't have the heart to tell them yes
00:48:15it's christmas i want everybody to have a good time tomorrow and enjoy themselves
00:48:21and then i don't know look i uh i know i don't have the right to ask you to wait
00:48:28but
00:48:30i mean the bank will probably put this place up for sale anyway
00:48:35but if we don't have the funds we need
00:48:37and by five tomorrow i'm
00:48:40i'm willing to sell
00:48:42to you
00:48:46as long as you still agree to
00:48:48uphold grand's vision for the place
00:48:52it's kind of been her home too
00:48:54yeah of course of course
00:48:56about anything
00:48:58whatever your terms

00:49:40what's the matter child
00:49:42i messed up grant
00:49:45what do you mean
00:49:46well apparently i didn't listen to everything mr townsend had to say
00:49:51it's not three months we owe it's more like nine months
00:49:56it's almost fifty thousand dollars i know
00:49:58well that is a lot isn't it
00:50:01yeah and i was arrogant to think that i could pull it off making those payments so high
00:50:05you did what you thought was best you always have
00:50:10well you should know i did speak to mr dunn and if we don't have the money by the end
00:50:14of the day i'm gonna sell to him
00:50:17but only because he put a clause in the contract that he'd let you stay here as long as you'd
00:50:21like
00:50:22and what about you
00:50:26i don't think i could stay here while somebody else around the place
00:50:31be too hard
00:50:31sometimes i think it may be for the best
00:50:34how can you even say that
00:50:35this place was a home for me and your grandfather
00:50:39and it was a wonderful place to raise our family but sometimes i feel like it's
00:50:44it's become an unfair obligation to you
00:50:46that is not true
00:50:47i love this place it's
00:50:50it's a place to call home for me
00:50:53when was the last time you walked the property and really saw it for what it is

01:02:13It's not for the faint of back.
01:02:17What?
01:02:17You scared?
01:02:19You scared?
01:02:20Bells on five, ten, rain.
01:02:24Make each there is bright.
01:02:28What fun it is to ride and sing.
01:02:31A slaying song tonight.
01:02:34Let's hear it, Nora!
01:02:35Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells.
01:02:37Jingle all the way.
01:02:39Oh, what a fun it is to ride and I want a horse open sleigh.
01:02:43Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way.
01:02:46Oh, what a fun it is to ride and I want a horse open sleigh.
01:02:53There's another hitter right there!
01:02:57All right, everyone, we're down to our last two contestants.
01:03:01The winner takes all.
01:03:29All right, all right, all right, all right.
01:03:33Hot cocoa?
01:03:34Oh.
01:03:35Just sit and be in the moment.
01:03:38Really appreciate all this place has meant to me.
01:03:40Thank you for today, by the way.
01:03:42You're a good sport.
01:03:44Nothing.
01:03:45Harry!
01:03:46Harry!
01:03:46Drew, what is it?
01:03:47Jessica Harris can't find little Marty.
01:03:48Who's little Marty?
01:03:49Uh, it's her five-year-old.
01:03:51Where was the last place she saw him?
01:03:52They were in the reindeer room.
01:03:53She turned around and he was missing.
01:03:54That backs up into the woods.
01:03:56He could have wandered off into the forest and it would be really tricky to find him.
01:03:59Okay, call the sheriff, have every available person head down to the barn.
01:04:02We'll go over there now and start the servicer.
01:04:04Roger that.
01:04:09Marty's wearing a dark coat, which is going to make this a little bit trickier now.
01:04:13He's five and he loves rabbits.
01:04:15Jessica, his mother, said that he must have saw one and just wandered in after it.
01:04:19So if he's at the festival, I'm sure someone will find him soon.
01:04:22But if he went off into the woods like we think, it's about to get dark soon and it's going
01:04:27to be a little tough.
01:04:27So, anybody we can get, let's get him and head on in.
01:04:32Don't worry, we're going to find him.
01:04:38Marty!
01:04:39Marty!
01:04:42What's this, Grandma?
01:04:43Let's check that old cabin.
01:04:45Okay.
01:04:46Yeah, I guess this would be somewhere a little kid would want to hide.
01:04:49Yeah.
01:04:50Get out of this cold.
01:04:51Could have gotten in there.
01:04:54Hey, Marty!
01:04:56Marty!
01:04:57Marty, buddy.
01:05:00Everyone's looking for you.
01:05:03Marty!
01:05:08Let's check towards the river.
01:05:10Okay.
01:05:14Marty!
01:05:18Marty!
01:05:19Marty!
01:05:21Marty!
01:05:24Marty!
01:05:24John, your mom sent me to come look for you.
01:05:27Can you hear me?
01:05:31Hoot like an owl if you can.
01:05:33Woo!
01:05:34Woo!
01:05:36Marty!
01:05:37Marty!
01:05:39Marty!
01:05:40Marty!
01:05:41Hey, Marty.
01:05:41Marty!
01:05:42Marty!
01:05:42Marty!
01:05:46Buddy!
01:05:46Can you hear me?
01:05:49Oh, we're going to the French Riviera, John.
01:05:51Do you want to join us?
01:05:53Oh, thanks for the invite, Marty, but I'm going to the Christmas ranch.
01:05:58Sounds like fun.
01:06:03Hey, buddy.
01:06:06All right, stop me if you've heard this one.
01:06:08How much does it cost for Santa to park his sleigh?
01:06:11Nothing.
01:06:12It's on the house.
01:06:15Marty?
01:06:17Hey, buddy?
01:06:19Buddy, keep making noise.
01:06:21Keep making noise.
01:06:22Keep making noise.
01:06:23Come.
01:06:27Marty.
01:06:32Hey, how you doing, pal?
01:06:36You okay?
01:06:37You scared?
01:06:38Yeah, no, of course not.
01:06:39Me neither.
01:06:40Let's get you out of there, okay?
01:06:46I'm going.
01:06:52Oh, here.
01:06:53Let me carry you, pal.
01:06:54Come on.
01:06:55You all right?
01:06:56Yeah?
01:06:58Let's get you back.
01:07:02Oh.
01:07:05Hello?
01:07:06It's John.
01:07:07Hey, Carrie.
01:07:08Yeah, we're headed back towards the barn.
01:07:09I got him.
01:07:09I got him.
01:07:11He's found him.
01:07:12That's great.
01:07:13We're coming right up.
01:07:14Oh, gosh.
01:07:16Thank goodness.
01:07:19Oh, my gosh.
01:07:19Oh, my gosh.
01:07:35They found you.
01:07:36Hi.
01:07:37Oh.
01:07:38Go say hi to your mom.
01:07:40Hi.
01:07:41Oh, Marty.
01:07:44How could I ever repay you?
01:07:46Oh, it's okay.
01:07:47It's okay.
01:07:48But, hey, pal, why don't you promise to tell your mom where you're going next time?
01:07:52Okay.
01:07:53Good man.
01:07:59I know why superheroes wear costumes.
01:08:01It's got to be cheaper than dry cleaning custom Italian slacks.
01:08:05I'm a mess.
01:08:06Thank you, John.
01:08:08Yeah, of course.
01:08:10Yeah.
01:08:13I'm sure your mom is so happy you're back.
01:08:23All righty, everybody.
01:08:25Listen up.
01:08:25Gather around.
01:08:26It is time to announce this year's King and Queen.
01:08:33How's your ankle treating you, Gran?
01:08:35The people have spoken.
01:08:38You know, first the googly eyes at breakfast.
01:08:39Now this.
01:08:40What's going on with you two?
01:08:41Santa wants to make an honest woman of Mrs. Claus.
01:08:44Oh, it's about time.
01:08:46Do you think your grandfather would approve?
01:08:48Of course I do.
01:08:50He would just want you to be happy, Grant.
01:08:54All right.
01:08:56Drum roll, please.
01:08:58As no surprise, this year's King and Queen goes to our very own Carrie Williams and John Dunn.
01:09:21Congratulations, Mr. Dunn.
01:09:24That was remarkable.
01:09:28Thanks.
01:09:28I certainly hope this festival was one of the traditions you plan to keep once you own the place.
01:09:33Didn't I tell you this ranch is something?
01:09:36What?
01:09:38You told him about this place?
01:09:41Just good business, Miss Williams.
01:09:44When foreclosures seemed a possibility, I reached out to a few potential buyers.
01:09:48I asked you how you heard about this place.
01:09:53Seems you two have some unsettled business.
01:09:57Excuse me.
01:09:58You lied to me.
01:10:00You lied to me.
01:10:01I did.
01:10:01And you have no idea how sorry I am for that.
01:10:05You knew we were in trouble before I did.
01:10:07No, I didn't know to what extent.
01:10:10So you just came here to put the screws to me, right?
01:10:12I didn't know about the foreclosure.
01:10:13I didn't know about the woman stealing everything from you.
01:10:16I just thought that you fell behind on a few payments.
01:10:18That's it.
01:10:19That's why I was so persistent with you.
01:10:21Carrie, I didn't know.
01:10:24I just thought you were too stubborn to admit that the ranch was in trouble.
01:10:27I didn't know the ranch was in trouble.
01:10:29You have to believe me.
01:10:30I didn't know.
01:10:34I don't have to believe anything you say anymore, Mr. Dunn.
01:10:38Just, Carrie, can you please wait?
01:10:52Good evening, all.
01:10:56My grandfather always ran this auction.
01:11:00And it's a privilege and an honor to have a chance to continue the tradition in his place.
01:11:07This very well may be the last auction here at the ranch.
01:11:11And so I ask you to all maybe find it in your hearts to give generously tonight.
01:11:18Finally, an auction.
01:11:19It's a good, sound business decision.
01:11:22I guess.
01:11:23I guess.
01:11:24No, no, no.
01:11:24Auctions are one of the best ways to make money.
01:11:28Okay.
01:11:31So the first item up for bid tonight is a weekend trip to Orlando for two given by the Johnson
01:11:39family.
01:11:39It includes airfare, hotel, and a rental car.
01:11:43Very generous.
01:11:44Okay.
01:11:45Uh, we're gonna start the bid at 10.
01:11:47But she does know how an auction works, right?
01:11:51Orlando, who's got 10?
01:11:54Do I see 10 in the house?
01:11:5610 right here.
01:11:57Thank you so much.
01:11:58Uh, do I have 15?
01:12:0015.
01:12:01Okay.
01:12:0220.
01:12:03Thank you, thank you.
01:12:0425.
01:12:0635.
01:12:07Thank you, 35 in the back.
01:12:08Do I have 40?
01:12:1040?
01:12:13Okay.
01:12:13Going once.
01:12:15Going twice.
01:12:17Okay.
01:12:18Sold to the man in the back.
01:12:1935 hours of repair work at the St. Matthew's Church.
01:12:24Wait, what just happened?
01:12:26Don't worry.
01:12:27Chris is a carpenter.
01:12:28He knows what he's doing.
01:12:29No, no, no.
01:12:30An auction is about making money.
01:12:31Why isn't she raising funds for the ranch?
01:12:33She will.
01:12:34On the last item.
01:12:36The last item.
01:12:37As in, there's only one item that you can bid money on?
01:12:40Sure.
01:12:42It's tradition.
01:12:43The ranch only keeps a proceed for one item in the auction.
01:12:46It's the same item.
01:12:47So what's this one item that's going to save the ranch?
01:12:50A velvet cake.
01:12:54You're joking, right?
01:12:55Seriously, what is it?
01:12:56A red velvet cake.
01:12:57A red velvet...
01:12:58One cake is going to save the ranch.
01:13:01It's Mrs. Claus' famous velvet cake.
01:13:04Rose makes one every year.
01:13:06Last year, I think it made about $2,000.
01:13:08Of course, that did go to the dentist in town who said he wanted to save everyone from themselves.
01:13:16Okay, boys, time to pay attention and wallets as you're ready.
01:13:20The proceeds to this next winning bid will go to our friends over at Hope House Food Pantry.
01:13:25And what is the item in question, you may ask?
01:13:33Why, of course, it is an evening with our lovely Hannah Gage.
01:13:37You will come to the Christmas Eve dinner, dine with the family, and then escort our lovely Hannah to our
01:13:44twilight bonfire.
01:13:46So, let's start at $100.
01:13:48Let's have $100.
01:13:50Who's first, boys?
01:13:51Okay, thank you, $100.
01:13:53Do I have two?
01:13:54$200 for the lovely Hannah Gage.
01:13:56Two, thank you, three, $300.
01:13:59Thank you, three.
01:14:01Do I have four?
01:14:02$400.
01:14:04$1,000.
01:14:08Sold to our very own Connor.
01:14:11$1,000 for an enchanted evening for two.
01:14:20You're the only woman that interests me, Hannah Gage.
01:14:24And I'm a fool for not having made that perfectly clear before now.
01:14:29I guess I'll forgive you.
01:14:31Hot chocolate?
01:14:33Thought you'd never ask.
01:14:48Okay.
01:14:55Holy cow.
01:14:56I can't believe she'd have the nerve to show her face.
01:15:00But who is that?
01:15:01That's Sandra Flowers.
01:15:03The woman who stole everything from Carrie?
01:15:05Yup.
01:15:07I can't believe she'd come back here after doing what she did to Carrie.
01:15:13What?
01:15:15Sandra.
01:15:17Do you want me to call the police, Carrie?
01:15:19Please don't.
01:15:20Not yet.
01:15:20Just let me explain first.
01:15:22I don't see how anything you can say can make things right.
01:15:27Um, no, it's okay, George.
01:15:30Let's hear her out.
01:15:33It started almost a year ago.
01:15:34My brother needed surgery.
01:15:36He'd already run up so many medical bills.
01:15:38He wasn't going to go through with it.
01:15:39Without it, I thought he was going to die.
01:15:42I went to the bank.
01:15:43I applied for a loan.
01:15:45I didn't have collateral, so I was denied.
01:15:48But Mr. Townsend told me he'd give me the money if I did something for him in return.
01:15:54He told me to stop sending in the ranch's payments on that loan for repairs you took out last year.
01:16:01And then to clean out the account when it was time.
01:16:06Lies.
01:16:07How dare you insinuate such a thing?
01:16:09I didn't want to do it.
01:16:11I hated every second of it.
01:16:15But he's my baby brother.
01:16:17I could just watch him die.
01:16:19This is ridiculous.
01:16:20I don't have to stand for these accusations.
01:16:23He's all the family I have.
01:16:24I didn't know what else to do.
01:16:28It's not all of it.
01:16:32I know.
01:16:33I've made the worst mistake of my life.
01:16:37After all that your family has done for me.
01:16:41No, um...
01:16:44I do forgive you, Sandra.
01:16:46I do.
01:16:47It's just under $10,000.
01:16:49I know it's not as much as you need.
01:16:51Well, every little bit counts, doesn't it?
01:16:55Well, I guess we still have Gran's cake.
01:16:58It's about time to...
01:17:01put it up for bid.
01:17:09Okay, so...
01:17:11Before we close tonight's festivities,
01:17:14I just wanted to thank you all from the bottom of my heart
01:17:19and tell you how much
01:17:21your support of the ranch has meant to me
01:17:23and to my family.
01:17:26Not everybody has a community like ours.
01:17:29All of you make it
01:17:31extremely special
01:17:33and unique
01:17:34with what you bring.
01:17:37We pull together
01:17:38on the good days
01:17:40and on the bad days.
01:17:41Not just on the holidays.
01:17:43365 days a year.
01:17:47Um...
01:17:47As many of you know,
01:17:49my grandparents started
01:17:51this ranch 40 years ago
01:17:54with the vision
01:17:55to not just exhibit
01:17:56the Christmas spirit,
01:17:57but to also embody it
01:17:59and to share it.
01:18:00So, we just
01:18:02wanted to thank you again

01:18:05letting my family share

01:19:33red velvet cake
01:19:34to Mr. John Donne.
01:19:47You don't even like
01:19:49red velvet.
01:19:50Now, how did you know that?
01:19:52I don't know.
01:19:53I guess I just have a knack
01:19:54for remembering things.
01:19:57Carrie, I really am sorry.
01:19:59I'm sorry that I lied to you.
01:20:01I had no intention of buying
01:20:03this place out for my dear.
01:20:05Why'd you do that?
01:20:07Because I've traveled
01:20:09all around the world
01:20:10and there's one thing
01:20:11that I haven't been able
01:20:12to find until now.
01:20:15Yeah.
01:20:15What's that?
01:20:17A place that I'd like
01:20:18to call home.
01:20:29You know,
01:20:31this cake doesn't change
01:20:32anything around here.
01:20:34I hope it changes
01:20:35at least one thing.
01:20:36Yeah, what's that?
01:20:38I hope it means
01:20:38that I get to stay.
01:20:41I think that could be arranged.
01:20:44Hmm.
