00:00:44Nice decorations. I think you missed a spot. I can still see a piece of your lawn.
00:00:48Well, I like your decorations, too. In case you hadn't noticed, it is Christmas time.
00:00:53Why could you not notice on this street? Me? I like to do my own thing.
00:00:57Which is?
00:00:57Hmm. Nothing, I guess.
00:01:00Uh-huh. Have a good day.
00:01:23Okay, April. One more decoration and you will officially be over the top. Um, there can never be too many
00:01:29decorations.
00:01:29Mm-hmm.
00:01:35Oh! Oh, my God! You still have these?
00:01:40Uh, yeah, forever!
00:01:42Do you remember why Mom and Dad gave me these?
00:01:45Yes, I do. It was so that you could get your picture taken with Santa Claus, even though you were
00:01:49too old to sit on his lap at the mall.
00:01:52And you cried all the way home.
00:01:54No, I'm sorry. You can never be too old to sit on Santa's lap.
00:01:57Mm-hmm.
00:01:58Oh, Elaine, here. Take a picture for me to send Mom.
00:02:00Okay. Okay. Okay. She will love it. Okay. One, two, three. Love that. Where is that coming from?
00:02:12Two doors down. It's my new neighbor. From what I can tell, he's a real, uh, mm-hmm.
00:02:17Yeah, if it's not him and his buddies, it's him and his sports car.
00:02:20Oh. Mm-hmm.
00:02:21It's a shame you can't choose your neighbors.
00:02:24No.
00:02:25And he, he's the only one on this entire block who won't put decorations in his front yard. Like, like,
00:02:30not even a little bit.
00:02:32Really?
00:02:33Nothing.
00:02:33Nothing! Like, not even one thing!
00:02:37Uh, so, how about that glass of wine you promised me?
00:02:42That I can do.
00:02:44Mom's gonna be really happy to hear you have a boyfriend.
00:02:47What?
00:02:48He looks really cute in this picture.
00:02:51I love you.
00:02:53I'm gonna score right here.
00:02:54Yeah, yeah.
00:02:55Oh, they're going deep.
00:02:56Whoa, whoa, whoa!
00:02:57Yo!
00:02:58You okay? What?
00:03:00Here it is.
00:03:01What?
00:03:04That's terrible.
00:03:06Let's pass interference.
00:03:07Pass me another slice of pepper.
00:03:09Hey, Ted, how are the kids?
00:03:10Doing well.
00:03:11Doing well.
00:03:11Speaking of, anyone know where you can find one of those talking furry Murray toys?
00:03:14Yeah, forget it, man.
00:03:16Those are the hottest toy this year.
00:03:18I know.
00:03:18My kid wants one for Christmas.
00:03:19We can't find them anywhere.
00:03:20My wife found one online.
00:03:22But you don't want to know how much we paid for that thing, man.
00:03:24I think you're already paying for it, buddy.
00:03:27Really?
00:03:28Seriously.
00:03:29Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:03:30You do not know what you're missing, my friend.
00:03:31Yeah.
00:03:31When you see the smiles on their face on Christmas morning,
00:03:34makes it worth it.
00:03:35Says the guy wearing a Santa hat.
00:03:37Get this thing off.
00:03:39Look, it's not like I don't like kids.
00:03:41Crazy about my sisters.
00:03:43Then why'd you buy this big house?
00:03:44More wall space for my book jackets.
00:03:47So, Uncle Eric, what are you doing for Christmas?
00:03:49Going skiing again?
00:03:51Not this year.
00:03:52Bridget's not much for outdoor sports.
00:03:54Wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:03:55Who's Bridget?
00:03:55His latest girlfriend?
00:03:57Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:03:58Pump the brakes.
00:03:59You know, she's not technically a girlfriend.
00:04:01We've only been going out for a few months.
00:04:03Plus, I gotta stick around and finish my book.
00:04:04Deadline's the end of the month.
00:04:06How's that going?
00:04:07Eh, you know.
00:04:09Another best seller, I take it.
00:04:11Who wants another beer?
00:04:13Mmm.
00:04:15Got any more of that guacamole?
00:04:16Yeah, that was good stuff.
00:04:17Where'd you get it?
00:04:18I made it.
00:04:19It's one of the recipes from my book.
00:04:21Oh, yeah, that's right.
00:04:22You didn't read it, did you?
00:04:24You're gonna make someone a great wife someday.
00:04:27Hey, game's back on.
00:04:30So, there is something that I want to talk to you about.
00:04:33Let's see, propose.
00:04:35No.
00:04:37If he had, we'd be drinking champagne right now.
00:04:42Well, tell me, what is it?
00:04:43What do you want to tell me?
00:04:45Okay, it's about the orchestra.
00:04:47So, Ivan Samuels is retiring at the end of the season.
00:04:51And they're starting auditions soon.
00:04:56And?
00:04:57Why are you telling me?
00:04:59Because I think you should audition.
00:05:05Wait, no.
00:05:06Are you serious?
00:05:08No.
00:05:09No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:05:11You know what happens to me when I audition.
00:05:14So, you get the hiccups.
00:05:16I bet you they wouldn't even notice.
00:05:18Do you remember the ninth grade recital auditions?
00:05:23Yeah.
00:05:26Oh, yeah.
00:05:28Yeah.
00:05:29Mm-hmm.
00:05:30Oh, I mean, there's gotta be a way to get over that.
00:05:33No, I have tried everything.
00:05:35Just think about it.
00:05:37How awesome it would be if you got in and we could play together.
00:05:39I mean, it's always been our dream.
00:05:42Look, there is a saying.
00:05:44Those who can do and those who can't teach.
00:05:47Look, you're a good teacher, April, but you're a great violinist.
00:05:51You're just afraid to find that out.
00:05:53No, no.
00:05:54I am afraid to audition.
00:05:56There was a clear difference there.
00:05:58Enough about me.
00:05:59How are you?
00:06:01And Steve.
00:06:02How's the restaurant?
00:06:03Good.
00:06:05It's his first Christmas since he bought the restaurant,
00:06:07so he's just working around the clock.
00:06:19Hey, Mom.
00:06:21How are you?
00:06:22I'm fine, but your niece and nephew were a little disappointed you didn't make it over here yesterday.
00:06:26I told you I would try and make it by,
00:06:29but it turns out some of the guys came by for the game and won't, you know.
00:06:33How about stopping by today?
00:06:35Oof.
00:06:36Sorry, I can't.
00:06:37I got a meeting with my agent and then I have some writing I need to get done.
00:06:40When are Dana and Bruce coming home?
00:06:42Your sister and brother-in-law will be home day after tomorrow.
00:06:45Well, I'll try to make it over there before then.
00:06:47I promise.
00:06:48Eric, don't let the kids down.
00:06:51They want to spend some time with their uncle.
00:06:54Don't make me feel guilty or anything.
00:06:55Isn't that what mothers do best?
00:06:58See you soon, sweetheart.
00:06:59All right.
00:07:00Bye, Mom.
00:07:05Another extension.
00:07:06Look, Eric, we've already gotten you two.
00:07:09I don't think the publisher will go for it.
00:07:11Why not?
00:07:12I'm one of their best-selling authors, right?
00:07:15I'll give it a try.
00:07:16Just between us, what's taking you so long?
00:07:19I mean, it's not like you're writing War of Peace.
00:07:23What's that supposed to mean?
00:07:24Oh, come on, Eric.
00:07:25I ripped you for ten years.
00:07:27These books are pretty formulaic.
00:07:29Honestly, why are you having such a hard time all of a sudden?
00:07:33Honestly?
00:07:34Mm-hmm.
00:07:35I think I'm finally getting tired of writing the same thing.
00:07:39No, that's not good.
00:07:41Uh-uh.
00:07:42No.
00:08:03Oh, good job, sweetie.
00:08:05Just remember, you want to keep the bow between the fingerboard and the bridge.
00:08:08It's very important.
00:08:09Okay, let's try it again.
00:08:12Okay.
00:08:23Let's try it again.
00:08:44Hey!
00:08:45She did great today.
00:08:46Oh, great.
00:08:47Did you have fun, huh?
00:08:49Afternoon, April.
00:08:51Conrad?
00:08:52I really must commend you on your decorations this year.
00:08:55Oh, thank you.
00:08:57Now, if we could just get everyone else on board.
00:09:00Oh.
00:09:01I think he's a lost cause.
00:09:04I mean, would it really be that much trouble to...
00:09:19...one...
00:09:24...two...
00:09:25...two...
00:09:34...two...
00:09:46Oh.
00:09:56Afternoon, Mr. Redford.
00:09:59Glad I ran into you.
00:10:01Really?
00:10:02Why's that?
00:10:04The neighbors have generously offered to decorate your front yard.
00:10:08You won't even have to lift a finger.
00:10:10Thanks anyway.
00:10:11But I happen to like my house just the way it is.
00:10:13That's why I bought it.
00:10:15Maybe just a couple of strings.
00:10:16No.
00:10:17Thanks.
00:10:17I'm good.
00:10:25Hey, Nick.
00:10:26How's the writing coming?
00:10:27It's not.
00:10:29Well, you better find some inspiration fast, because the publisher says,
00:10:32no more extensions.
00:10:39You all right?
00:10:52Oh, just a moment.
00:10:54Excellent.
00:10:55Beautiful presentation.
00:11:03Oh, hey, sorry I am late, boss.
00:11:05Boss?
00:11:05You could get used to that.
00:11:08Don't get used to that.
00:11:10So, what's up?
00:11:11The groom had cold feet.
00:11:12I had to start the wedding march three times before he walked down the aisle.
00:11:15Huh.
00:11:20Well, I've got to, um...
00:11:23Coming.
00:11:26Your blind date had to leave.
00:11:28What blind date?
00:11:29Oh, he's a friend of Steve's.
00:11:30He's an ER doctor.
00:11:32We thought you two might hit it off, but he got called out on an emergency.
00:11:37So, mm-hmm.
00:11:38Don't you two ever stop?
00:11:41No.
00:11:44Looks like a full house tonight.
00:11:46Minus one.
00:11:47Oh, another potential husband down the drain.
00:11:55Isn't this everything I told you it would be?
00:11:57Yeah.
00:11:58It's, uh, very...
00:11:59Romantic.
00:12:00I know.
00:12:22That's my neighbor.
00:12:24Where?
00:12:26Violinist.
00:12:28A teacher with all those annoying students?
00:12:30I didn't say they were all bad.
00:12:32Huh.
00:12:35So, are we doing anything for New Year's?
00:12:40I haven't even thought about Christmas.
00:12:41All I can think about these days is the looming deadline for my book.
00:12:46Well, maybe we can go to the black and white ball at the Walker Museum?
00:12:49Yeah.
00:12:50About that.
00:13:00Oh, thank you.
00:13:10Any requests?
00:13:11Oh, we'd appreciate it if you could play at someone else's table.
00:13:14We're just trying to have a quiet dinner.
00:13:16Oh, of course.
00:13:16I'm so sorry.
00:13:18I didn't mean to disturb you.
00:13:19The way my students obviously have.
00:13:26I guess she heard.
00:13:30What was that all about?
00:13:32That's my neighbor.
00:13:33You know, the one who won't decorate for Christmas?
00:13:35Oh.
00:13:37I guess he's not much of a music lover.
00:13:41He's kind of cute, though.
00:13:48Hello?
00:13:49Mom?
00:13:49Hey, how's my favorite daughter?
00:13:51As your only daughter, that joke never gets old.
00:13:55Shouldn't you be getting on a plane right now?
00:13:57Yeah.
00:13:58Uh, about that, our flight was canceled.
00:14:00Uh, actually, all of the flights were canceled.
00:14:03There is a massive snowstorm and everything's been shut down.
00:14:07Oh, my.
00:14:08Listen, how are the kids?
00:14:10Good, good.
00:14:10They're sleeping.
00:14:11Uh, Bruce is on the phone.
00:14:12Trying to find out when we might get a flight back.
00:14:14Well, don't you worry about anything.
00:14:16They can stay with me as long as you need.
00:14:18They're saying it's going to be four or five days.
00:14:19Maybe even a week before the airport reopens.
00:14:21A week.
00:14:22Oh, my goodness, Mom, did you hear that?
00:14:25I did.
00:14:26We might not make it back in time for Christmas.
00:14:28We've never missed a Christmas with the kids before.
00:14:31Sarah, do you mind looking after the kids for another few days?
00:14:34Of course not.
00:14:35You know I love to have them.
00:14:37Thanks, Mom.
00:14:38Love you.
00:14:38Bye.
00:14:39Take care of you two.
00:14:43Okay.
00:14:44I think I know exactly what I'm going to get in.
00:14:46I know exactly how I'm going to get in.
00:14:47I'm going to get in.
00:14:47I'm going to get in.
00:14:48I'm going to get in.
00:14:49I'm going to get in.
00:14:49I'm going to get in.
00:14:52I'm going to get in.
00:14:53Okay.
00:14:54I did not think we were going to make it out of there in one piece.
00:14:57Remind me not to do any more Christmas shopping.
00:15:01At least for a while.
00:15:03I can't believe after all of that shopping and I still don't have all of my presents.
00:15:06I mean, I'm done.
00:15:07The last few things I bought were for me.
00:15:10Oh, do you have time for tea?
00:15:12The Carlisle's doing their special Christmas tea again this year.
00:15:15Oh, I wish I could.
00:15:16But I have to go to rehearsal.
00:15:18No.
00:15:20Oh, before I forget, I have something for you.
00:15:22What is it?
00:15:23It's an early Christmas present.
00:15:28I don't understand.
00:15:29What is it?
00:15:29It's the date and time of your audition.
00:15:33I didn't agree to this.
00:15:35What have you got to lose?
00:15:38Oh, are we still on for skating this week?
00:15:41Uh, yeah.
00:15:42Okay.
00:15:42Bye.
00:15:43Bye.
00:15:48Bye.
00:15:57Bye.
00:16:05Okay.
00:16:16Hi, Mom.
00:16:17Hello?
00:16:18Before you say anything, I was going to try to make it over there later today to see the kids.
00:16:22You have to come over now.
00:16:24Why? What's wrong?
00:16:25Oh, I think it's the flu.
00:16:27I'm feeling achy all over, and I think I have a fever, and I'm in no condition to look after
00:16:33the kids.
00:16:34So you're going to have to come and pick them up.
00:16:36I could take them for a day, but aren't Dana and Bruce going to be back tomorrow?
00:16:40No, they're stuck in Norway.
00:16:43What does that mean exactly?
00:16:45Haven't you been listening to the news?
00:16:47No, I've been trying to write a book.
00:16:49Northern Europe is covered in a blanket of snow they're calling the snowstorm of the century.
00:16:56So you're going to have to come over here and pick up the kids and look after them until I'm
00:17:00better
00:17:01or until Dana and Bruce get back, whichever comes first.
00:17:05Eric?
00:17:07Are you still there?
00:17:09Yeah.
00:17:10How long does the flu usually last?
00:17:12Oh, at my age, who knows?
00:17:15Why would anyone hold a business conference in Norway in the middle of the winter?
00:17:20Well, you're going to have to ask Bruce that when you see him.
00:17:24Look, honey, the kids are all packed up.
00:17:26You just get here as soon as you can.
00:17:35Check, please.
00:17:46I brought you some soup.
00:17:48Oh, thank you, sweetheart.
00:17:49That was very thoughtful.
00:17:50Mom, are you sure I should be taking the kids?
00:17:53You know how bad my luck is around this time of year.
00:17:55Are you still convinced you've got that Christmas jinx?
00:17:58Why do you think I've gone out of town the past four years?
00:18:01Well, you're stuck in town now.
00:18:04Maybe you'll finally get over it.
00:18:05Kids, your Uncle Eric is here.
00:18:07Come on.
00:18:09Okay, bye.
00:18:10Be good, you two.
00:18:11Bye, Grandma.
00:18:12Be well.
00:18:14Who's ready to have some fun with her Uncle Eric?
00:18:18We're not going to get in there.
00:18:20Well, let's not jump to conclusions.
00:18:22I'm not sitting on anyone's lap.
00:18:25I wasn't thinking that.
00:18:26We'll figure it out.
00:18:29Mom's car is just in the garage, and it can fit all of us.
00:18:53Nice driving, Uncle Eric.
00:18:54What?
00:18:55I'm not used to driving this boat.
00:18:57Oh.
00:18:59Here, let me take that for you.
00:19:00You're my new favorite.
00:19:02Dibs on the master.
00:19:05You're sleeping in the basement.
00:19:08Whoa.
00:19:12Here we are.
00:19:14Just, uh, get comfortable.
00:19:15Mi casa su casa.
00:19:18You've got no Christmas decorations.
00:19:19You're not that comfortable.
00:19:21How come you don't have a Christmas tree?
00:19:24It's a long story.
00:19:26Don't you like Christmas?
00:19:27Not particularly, no.
00:19:29How come?
00:19:31I'll tell you when you're older.
00:19:33Give me that.
00:19:34But, Uncle Eric, if we don't have a Christmas tree,
00:19:37how will Santa find us?
00:19:40Well, maybe he's, uh, got GPS or something.
00:19:44And if we don't have a tree,
00:19:45where will we put all the presents?
00:19:48What presents?
00:19:49And we always decorate the tree and string popcorn.
00:19:52And we have to make Christmas cookies to leave for Santa.
00:19:55And we always hang our stockings and build a snowman.
00:19:58Come on, Shells.
00:20:00We're going to have a great time, I promise.
00:20:02How?
00:20:04I don't know.
00:20:05Let me think about it for a minute.
00:20:07You got any ideas?
00:20:10Make Christmas for us.
00:20:14Um, right.
00:20:30Uh, Eric, are you okay?
00:20:38Yeah, yeah, I'm, uh...
00:20:40Uh, how are the kids?
00:20:42Um, probably, probably still sleeping.
00:20:49Look, I really can't thank you enough.
00:20:52Well, I don't think your kids are going to feel the same way.
00:20:54Uh, why is that?
00:20:57You know I don't do Christmas.
00:20:58I know it's asking a lot,
00:20:59but could you maybe just get them a Christmas tree?
00:21:02That is a big ask.
00:21:04Okay, Romeo.
00:21:05Listen, they're the only niece and nephew you've got.
00:21:17How about this one?
00:21:19No.
00:21:21Oh, this one's nice, right?
00:21:24It's not too small.
00:21:26It is too small.
00:21:28Okay, what'd you have in mind?
00:21:30Something a lot bigger.
00:21:36Are you kidding me?
00:21:37This thing looks like it belongs in Rockefeller Center.
00:21:39It's just like the ones Mom and Dad always get.
00:21:42Are you sure?
00:21:44I don't recall them being this big.
00:21:48Fine.
00:21:50Excuse me.
00:21:52We'll take this one.
00:21:54Okay, wait, no.
00:21:55I will get all of the ingredients from the Christmas cookies then.
00:21:58Okay, good.
00:22:00Oh, can you play at the restaurant on Wednesday night?
00:22:02Can't.
00:22:03I am playing at an anniversary party.
00:22:05That's too bad.
00:22:07Why?
00:22:08What are you up to?
00:22:10Steve maybe got the ER doctor to come back on Wednesday night.
00:22:13He was going to make a special menu and everything.
00:22:16Maybe we could do it Thursday night instead?
00:22:19That might work.
00:22:20I am playing at a court at my Christmas party that afternoon, but I could probably get there
00:22:25by 7.
00:22:26Oh, have you given any more thought to the audition?
00:22:29Opportunities do not come around like this every day.
00:22:32I know.
00:22:33And I am thinking about it.
00:22:35Okay.
00:22:36Good.
00:22:37I love you.
00:22:38I love you.
00:22:40Brat.
00:22:40Yeah, whatever.
00:22:41All right, I got this.
00:22:45Oh!
00:22:48Be careful!
00:22:49Oh!
00:22:50Oh, shit!
00:22:51That wasn't good.
00:22:52Oh, wow.
00:22:53That is quite a tree you have there.
00:22:55Tell me about it.
00:22:56We picked it out ourselves.
00:22:58I like your decorations.
00:22:59Aw, thank you.
00:23:01Your kids?
00:23:02No.
00:23:02No.
00:23:03I don't have kids.
00:23:04This is my niece and nephew, Chelsea and Liam.
00:23:07Hi!
00:23:07Hey, Chelsea.
00:23:08Hey, Liam.
00:23:08Sorry, I don't know your name.
00:23:10April.
00:23:11And your uncle...
00:23:13Eric.
00:23:14Eric Redford.
00:23:15Nice to meet you.
00:23:16Uh, can I help you carry this?
00:23:18That'd be great.
00:23:19Thanks.
00:23:21Oh, I...
00:23:22Think Conrad will notice?
00:23:24He notices everything.
00:23:27Here.
00:23:27I got the door.
00:23:29At least you're better at this than you're driving.
00:23:32Oh, it's gonna take a lot of ornaments to fill up this tree.
00:23:35We forgot to buy ornaments.
00:23:37Can't you just pretend it has ornaments?
00:23:39I mean, you're kids.
00:23:40Use your imagination.
00:23:41I don't think I can pretend it's that good.
00:23:44Oh, come on, Chelsea.
00:23:47The smell alone's plenty Christmassy, right?
00:23:51Am I right?
00:23:52No.
00:23:53Look, I have a lot of extra ornaments at my house that you can use.
00:23:56Of course you do.
00:23:57Bet the inside of your house looks like Santa's workshop.
00:24:00Close to it.
00:24:01Wow!
00:24:02Can we go over there and see it?
00:24:05Maybe another time, Chelsea.
00:24:06I got a lot of work to do.
00:24:07Well, that's okay.
00:24:08I can take them.
00:24:08I'm sure they'll really love it.
00:24:10That's what I'm afraid of.
00:24:12Please.
00:24:13Please.
00:24:13Go ahead.
00:24:14All right, come on, guys.
00:24:15I'll be here with the tree.
00:24:16Bye, Uncle Ed.
00:24:17I don't can break anything.
00:24:18I'll just be here, setting up the Christmas tree.
00:24:22Fun, fun, fun.
00:24:24All by myself.
00:24:41That's a lot of Christmas decorations.
00:24:47Did somebody ask for Christmas in a box?
00:24:52I love the reindeer.
00:24:54Gosh.
00:24:54Here, we should put that in your hat.
00:24:58What do you think about this?
00:24:59Turn on the lights.
00:24:59Oh, you guys are doing a special job with decorating.
00:25:02Yeah.
00:25:03You definitely need more ornaments, you guys.
00:25:05Oh.
00:25:14Would you mind turning that down?
00:25:16Good job.
00:25:17It's face-raking.
00:25:18Right there.
00:25:18What's your favorite ornament, guys?
00:25:20Whoa, whoa.
00:25:21It kind of looks like a Christmas tree.
00:25:21Hey, um, that is exactly how I broke my legs six years ago.
00:25:25Is that why you don't like Christmas?
00:25:27One of the reasons.
00:25:29Well, what do you think?
00:25:32Is it possible it's getting bigger?
00:25:34We haven't even turned on the lights yet.
00:25:37Well, who wants to do the honors?
00:25:38Maybe Uncle Eric?
00:25:41How about Chelsea?
00:25:47Wow.
00:25:48Wow is right.
00:25:50That's the most beautiful Christmas tree I've ever seen.
00:25:57Yeah, yeah, it's, uh, looks, uh, pretty good.
00:26:02Well, I should probably get going.
00:26:04Thank you guys for letting me help you decorate the tree.
00:26:07I'll walk you out.
00:26:08Okay.
00:26:09I feel like it needs more sparkly things.
00:26:11Yes.
00:26:14Hey, uh, thanks for doing all that for my niece and nephew.
00:26:19Oh, well, I guess it's no secret that I love Christmas.
00:26:22And the way I look at it, I just got the chance to decorate a second Christmas tree, so...
00:26:27You remind me of someone I used to know.
00:26:29What?
00:26:29She was crazy about Christmas, too.
00:26:34Well, I hope I didn't bring back any bad memories.
00:26:37Well, that's a whole other reason why I don't like Christmas.
00:26:40But you made the kids very happy.
00:26:42I just hope it lasts until my sister and her husband get back so I can finish my book.
00:26:46Well, it was my pleasure.
00:26:50Good luck with that book.
00:26:52Thanks.
00:26:54Thanks.
00:27:30What's going on?
00:27:32Maybe you can tell me.
00:27:33Found this thing in my front lawn.
00:27:36You happen to know how he got here?
00:27:37No.
00:27:38I've never seen him before.
00:27:39What are you going to do with him?
00:27:41Curb him.
00:27:42And hopefully whoever put him here will take him back.
00:27:48I can see you.
00:27:51Would it really be so hard for you to get into the Christmas spirit?
00:27:54I mean, just like a little bit?
00:27:56What do you call that Christmas tree that's taken up half my living room?
00:27:58Because I call that Christmas spirit.
00:28:00And then some.
00:28:01Hmm.
00:28:03Maybe there's hope for you yet.
00:28:05Hope for me.
00:28:15Come in.
00:28:17Hey.
00:28:18Hey.
00:28:19Oh, did I tell you I talked to Mom last night?
00:28:21She's coming on Christmas Day.
00:28:23I know.
00:28:23I am so excited to see her.
00:28:25She's going to be so happy.
00:28:27She misses the snow so much now that she's in Florida.
00:28:29I know.
00:28:30Thank you so much for letting me keep Steve's presence here.
00:28:33Oh, yeah.
00:28:34No problem.
00:28:35Oh, I noticed your cute neighbor has a Santa Claus on his lawn.
00:28:39Did he, uh, did he come around?
00:28:43No, not really.
00:28:44But he did put up a Christmas tree for his niece and nephew while they're staying with him.
00:28:48It's so cute.
00:28:50How do you know that?
00:28:51Oh, I met him when he knocked over Conrad's reindeer with his tree.
00:28:56Come again?
00:28:57Uh, it was, it was not, it was his thing.
00:29:00But, um, you know, it turns out he's not really that bad of a guy.
00:29:04And you found out all of this from a short conversation on his front lawn.
00:29:09Easy.
00:29:10I helped him carry in the Christmas tree.
00:29:13And then I helped him decorate.
00:29:14And it was, it's no big deal.
00:29:18Stop.
00:29:21So, who is he?
00:29:24Uh, well, his name is Eric Redford.
00:29:28He's a writer.
00:29:29Wait, Eric Redford.
00:29:32Are you serious?
00:29:34Why, have you heard of him?
00:29:36Only because of Steve.
00:29:39Steve owns, like, all of his books.
00:29:41And his books are part of the reason why Steve still has not proposed.
00:29:45What kind of books does he write?
00:29:48Oh, only the kind that give men great reasons to stay single.
00:29:52Uh-huh, yeah.
00:29:55That makes sense.
00:29:56So, how's it going over there?
00:29:58So far, so good.
00:29:59See, I told you there was no such thing as the Christmas jinx.
00:30:03How's the book coming?
00:30:04Slowly.
00:30:06How are you feeling?
00:30:08You ready to take the kids back soon?
00:30:11Oh, I wish I could, honey, but this flu has really knocked me out.
00:30:15I better go.
00:30:17I'll see you soon.
00:30:19Talk to you soon.
00:30:36I'm working.
00:30:38We're bored.
00:30:42Hot on your tail.
00:30:43Nitrous.
00:30:45Come on.
00:30:46Here I come.
00:30:47Yep.
00:30:47Oh, making the pass.
00:30:49Oh, oh.
00:30:50Look, there's a finish line.
00:30:52Yes, come on, come on.
00:30:52Wait, did you give me the bump controller?
00:30:54No, you're just not good.
00:30:54My controller's not working.
00:30:55Come on, come on, come on.
00:30:56Come on.
00:30:56Is that helping?
00:30:57Yes, who's going to win?
00:30:58Who's going to win?
00:30:58Who's going to win?
00:30:59Yes, I win.
00:31:02Way to go, buddy.
00:31:03You did pretty good.
00:31:04Hey, don't touch that.
00:31:06Can I play?
00:31:07Uh, no.
00:31:08It's almost time for bed, and I have some writing to do tonight.
00:31:12Come on.
00:31:13Uncle Eric, when are you going to buy your Christmas presents?
00:31:17Last minute.
00:31:18Why?
00:31:20Don't worry.
00:31:21You're on my list.
00:31:22It's not that.
00:31:23Well, then what's the problem?
00:31:24We have to buy our Christmas presents for Mom and Dad.
00:31:27Yeah, could you take us shopping?
00:31:29Sure, I can do that.
00:31:30Come with me.
00:31:32Hey, this is how I shop for Christmas every year.
00:31:41Gift cards.
00:31:42It makes life so much easier.
00:31:44That's not how we shop.
00:31:47We need art supplies, glue, paper, and glitter.
00:31:51You make your presents.
00:31:53Yeah, some of them.
00:31:55And besides, don't you need gifts for, like, Mom and Dad and Grandma and your friends and us?
00:32:01Can I just get you guys gift cards, too?
00:32:03No.
00:32:07It's eight days until Christmas.
00:32:09The stores are going to be packed.
00:32:11But we have to see Santa Claus.
00:32:12And that's where he is.
00:32:15Santa Claus.
00:32:18Oh, like, jolly.
00:32:20Yeah, no, I get it, ma'am.
00:32:22Please, Uncle Eric.
00:32:24Please.
00:32:25All right.
00:32:26Go get ready for bed.
00:32:37Hey, Bridget.
00:32:38Good morning.
00:32:40You're not calling to cancel lunch, are you?
00:32:42How about we go Christmas shopping instead?
00:32:44I would love that.
00:32:45Great.
00:32:45Oh, and by the way, I have my niece and nephew, so they'll be coming, too.
00:32:48Oh.
00:32:50Is that okay?
00:32:50Oh, yeah, sure.
00:32:52I love kids.
00:32:53Well, we'll pick you up at noon.
00:33:01Christmas shopping.
00:33:04Isn't that a little traditional for you?
00:33:06I suppose I deserve that.
00:33:08Liam and Chelsea guilted me at the table.
00:33:10Oh, are they here?
00:33:11Yeah, they're, uh, waiting in line to visit Santa.
00:33:14Uh, my friend Bridget's over there with them.
00:33:19I thought I'd use the time to buy my mom a gift, but I don't even know where to begin.
00:33:26Would you have any suggestions?
00:33:27They have some really cute stuff over here.
00:33:29I found these adorable Christmas socks.
00:33:37Okay, you're up next.
00:33:38Oh, now, what's your name?
00:33:41Are you Uncle Eric's girlfriend?
00:33:42What would you like?
00:33:43I think so?
00:33:45You got an idea?
00:33:46Yeah.
00:33:47Oh, how much longer is this going to take?
00:33:52I don't know.
00:33:53When it's my turn to see Santa, I have a big list.
00:33:57Oh, boy.
00:34:03He named to me!
00:34:06Uh, well, what did you get her last year?
00:34:08A gift card.
00:34:10Okay, and the year before that?
00:34:12Uh, gift card.
00:34:14And let me guess, you got her a gift card the year before that.
00:34:17Good guess.
00:34:19Okay, have you ever done any real Christmas shopping?
00:34:23The last year I did, someone stole my car.
00:34:26And it wasn't just any car.
00:34:28It was a 1965 Corvette Stingray.
00:34:31I bought it after I sold my first book.
00:34:33And they stole it right out of the mall parking lot just before Christmas.
00:34:36That was six years ago.
00:34:40And is that the reason you don't celebrate Christmas?
00:34:43Just another one on many.
00:34:45There are more?
00:34:48Oh, my gosh.
00:34:51What about jewelry?
00:34:53This guy has some amazing one-of-a-kind stuff.
00:34:56Now, that's something she would like.
00:34:58Yeah?
00:34:59Yeah.
00:35:00Oh, well, what about that necklace?
00:35:03That is pretty.
00:35:05Excuse me.
00:35:07Would you mind if we took a look at this?
00:35:08Sure thing.
00:35:13That's beautiful.
00:35:16Would you try it on?
00:35:18Uh, sure.
00:35:29It's beautiful.
00:35:32Really looks nice on you.
00:35:35Thanks.
00:35:38You should get it.
00:35:39Oh, no.
00:35:40I am not doing any Christmas shopping for myself this year.
00:35:44You don't have anyone you could drop a hand to this Christmas?
00:35:47No.
00:35:48Really?
00:35:49No.
00:35:50I didn't mean anything by that.
00:35:52I just meant it.
00:35:55It's hard to believe.
00:36:02I guess Bridget could use some saving.
00:36:04I should probably go.
00:36:05Um, yeah.
00:36:07Thanks for your help.
00:36:08Again.
00:36:16So, we good now?
00:36:18I mean, you got your tree, your presents, and you visited Santa today.
00:36:22So, we're done, right?
00:36:25Yeah, I guess so.
00:36:28So, why don't you go upstairs and get ready for bed?
00:36:32I'm not tired.
00:36:33Really?
00:36:35I'm not tired either.
00:36:37Okay.
00:36:38So, what do you want to do?
00:36:39Can we watch a movie?
00:36:41Please, Uncle Eric?
00:36:43All right.
00:36:44You go pick one out.
00:36:46I'll go make the popcorn.
00:36:47I'll go pick one.
00:36:55I'm next.
00:36:56The weather.
00:36:57They're cold.
00:36:58So, Biff, how's the weather shaking up this week?
00:37:01Well, we've got an interesting week of weather coming up.
00:37:11Hello?
00:37:12Sounds like I woke you.
00:37:14No, Liam and Chelsea are asleep on the couch.
00:37:16We were watching a movie, and they passed out on me.
00:37:18Oh, that's adorable.
00:37:21So, how are you feeling?
00:37:23Oh.
00:37:24Oof.
00:37:25Well, a little better.
00:37:27My throat is still scratchy.
00:37:28How are you making out over there?
00:37:30I took the kids Christmas shopping today.
00:37:33Next thing you know, you'll be telling me you bought a Christmas tree.
00:37:36Oh, we got a Christmas tree.
00:37:38That was Dana's idea.
00:37:40Liam and Chelsea have taught me into everything else.
00:37:42Everything else?
00:37:43You know, everything they normally do during Christmastime.
00:37:46I don't know how Dana and Bruce do it every year.
00:37:48Well, you stay strong, sweetheart.
00:37:51And remember, you're the boss.
00:37:53Give them my love.
00:37:54I will.
00:38:01Okay.
00:38:01Now, you have everything you need to make your Christmas cards, right?
00:38:04Uh-huh.
00:38:05Because I need to work undisturbed for the next few hours.
00:38:07So, unless it's really, really important, you're on your own.
00:38:11We good?
00:38:12Yep.
00:38:12We're going to be busy for a long time.
00:38:14Great.
00:38:15Hopefully, I will be, too.
00:38:18Santa's on his way.
00:38:19The star's hung on the tree.
00:38:22But it's just not the same.
00:38:24Because you're not here with me.
00:38:27So, Santa, if you hear me.
00:38:30I hope you've got my list.
00:38:32Because all I want for Christmas
00:38:34Is the perfect Christmas kiss from my baby.
00:38:41Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:38:43I'm going to spill this all over my kitchen.
00:38:45Yeah, it's a table suit of this, right?
00:38:48Yeah.
00:38:50Right.
00:38:52I'm going to add pipe cleaners, too.
00:38:58What's up?
00:39:00We ran out of glue.
00:39:01I was wondering if we could go over to April,
00:39:03see if she has any.
00:39:05Yeah, sure.
00:39:15I'm going to use gold.
00:39:17I like the gold.
00:39:26I like the gold.
00:39:35Kids, where are you?
00:39:39Liam?
00:39:41Chelsea?
00:39:46Liam?
00:39:49Chelsea?
00:39:55Hey.
00:39:56Are Chelsea and Liam here?
00:39:58Yeah.
00:39:59Sorry.
00:40:00That's okay.
00:40:01You want to come in?
00:40:02Sure.
00:40:06Nice place.
00:40:08Pink one.
00:40:09So focused on my writing,
00:40:11I didn't even know they left.
00:40:13Hey, guys.
00:40:15This is my sister, Elaine.
00:40:17Hi, you must be Eric.
00:40:19Sorry.
00:40:20Okay.
00:40:21Yes, I am Eric.
00:40:23Nice to meet you, Elaine.
00:40:25Looks like you two have been busy.
00:40:26We're making Christmas cookies.
00:40:28I can see that.
00:40:29Yeah, these are for the neighborhood Christmas caroling.
00:40:31It's on December 22nd if you want to join us.
00:40:34I'm not much of a sighter.
00:40:36Can we stay a little longer?
00:40:37Yeah, there's a whole other batch of cookies we can decorate.
00:40:40Well, that's not up to me.
00:40:41I don't mind if you don't mind.
00:40:43I don't mind.
00:40:44All right.
00:40:45You two be good, okay?
00:40:47I will.
00:40:48All right.
00:40:48Have fun.
00:40:49Bye.
00:40:50Bye.
00:40:54You collect vinyl?
00:40:55Yeah.
00:40:57You mind if I take a look?
00:40:59No, go ahead.
00:41:03Nice collection.
00:41:05I'm a jazz man myself.
00:41:07Oh, I've heard.
00:41:08A little too loud?
00:41:09No.
00:41:10Sorry about that.
00:41:12It's okay.
00:41:13At least you've got good taste.
00:41:18Wow.
00:41:19Yeah, a lot of those belong to my dad, and when he passed away, he left them to me.
00:41:24I've just been adding to him ever since.
00:41:27He, um, he was a jazz pianist, actually, and he taught me everything I know.
00:41:33And now the student has become the teacher.
00:41:35Well, you gotta stick to what you do best.
00:41:38I get that.
00:41:40It's basically what I've been doing the past few years of my writing.
00:41:43Except lately, it's been a bit of a struggle.
00:41:47I mean, not that I don't love writing.
00:41:49I do.
00:41:50It's just...
00:41:50And apparently you love what you write about.
00:41:53A little bachelor lifestyle and all.
00:41:55Yeah, well, believe it or not, there's more to me than just being a bachelor.
00:42:00Oh.
00:42:00So the Corvette late nights in poker games is not really you?
00:42:06Maybe not so much anymore.
00:42:09I mean, after all, I am driving a minivan these days.
00:42:12I kind of like it.
00:42:21How did he get back on my lawn?
00:42:25I have no idea.
00:42:27Well, he's not staying there.
00:42:30I'll bring the kids back in about an hour.
00:42:32Thanks.
00:42:47Here's Mr. Moose.
00:42:48Chelsea, you've got a fresh bucket of popcorn.
00:42:52So my buddies are going to be here any second.
00:42:54What do you want to do?
00:42:55You want to play a game, watch TV, read?
00:42:57Could we read one of your books?
00:43:00Mom and Dad talk about them all the time.
00:43:02Oh, yeah?
00:43:02What do they say?
00:43:04Mom says they're juvenile.
00:43:06That means they're for kids, right?
00:43:08Not intentionally, no.
00:43:10Look, why don't you just watch TV, okay?
00:43:13I'll be up later to check on you.
00:43:15You okay, Chelsea?
00:43:16Yep.
00:43:18You like that show?
00:43:19Yeah.
00:43:20How's that?
00:43:21Awesome.
00:43:22Does Mr. Moose like that show?
00:43:24Mr. Moose, do you like that show?
00:43:26Yes, I do.
00:43:27Yes, he does.
00:43:34Is that glitter on the table?
00:43:36Yeah.
00:43:36Thought I cleaned all that up.
00:43:38Chelsea and Liam were making their Christmas cards.
00:43:40Aww.
00:43:42Hey, anyone find that furry Murray toy yet?
00:43:44I did.
00:43:47Saw it at the Christmas market.
00:43:49What?
00:43:50It was on Chelsea's Christmas list.
00:43:51Well, I don't know what's happening anymore.
00:43:53I'm out.
00:43:54Me too.
00:43:54Come to Papa.
00:43:57Hey, I'm getting up.
00:43:57You guys want anything?
00:43:58Some pretzels.
00:43:59All right.
00:44:02Uh, could you not leave your empty beer cans lying around?
00:44:05There's kids in the house, you know?
00:44:07Who are you right now?
00:44:09Yeah, and what have you done with Eric?
00:44:11Very funny.
00:44:12Seriously, all of a sudden it's like playing poker with Mr. Mom.
00:44:15So you're basically telling me the reason we always play poker here is because I don't
00:44:18have a wife and kids.
00:44:19Well, yeah.
00:44:22There's no way my wife would let me have three rowdy guys over playing cards till two in
00:44:26the morning.
00:44:26Or have a bunch of guys over to watch a game every week.
00:44:29Face it.
00:44:30You're the last man standing, bro.
00:44:32It's not that we don't love our families.
00:44:34It's just that you can put your glasses down on the counter without a coaster.
00:44:38You can eat all the junk food you want.
00:44:40And we can be loud and rowdy without waking the kids.
00:44:43Amen.
00:44:43And what do you think I've been writing about for the last seven years?
00:44:46I have no idea.
00:44:47I've never read any of your books.
00:44:53Why don't I invite this guy?
00:44:55I don't know.
00:44:55I don't know.
00:44:56I didn't know you did.
00:44:57It's your deal.
00:44:58Okay.
00:45:10How was the performance?
00:45:12It was good.
00:45:12I'm starving.
00:45:13Well, tonight, our special is Ember Chevalier with a saffron semolina.
00:45:20It's my grandmother's recipe and it's to die for.
00:45:23That sounds very cute.
00:45:25How's April doing with the doctor?
00:45:26Oh, it's going really well, I think.
00:45:28He's on the move.
00:45:29Now's your time.
00:45:30For what?
00:45:31You know.
00:45:32To ask her.
00:45:35Fine.
00:45:35Fine.
00:45:39Go.
00:45:41Hey.
00:45:42Hey.
00:45:44I wanted to bug you about your audition.
00:45:47I have been practicing, if that's what you want to know.
00:45:50I talked with the conductor about you tonight.
00:45:52He's really excited to hear you play.
00:45:54Okay.
00:45:56How are things going with the doctor?
00:45:58He seems nice.
00:46:00I'm so happy for you.
00:46:01I said he seems nice.
00:46:04Okay, whatever.
00:46:06So, Steve has a favor to ask, but he is too embarrassed to do it himself, so he has recruited
00:46:11me.
00:46:12What is it?
00:46:15He would like to know if he will ask your neighbor to sign a few of his books.
00:46:19I know, it's really embarrassing coming from me, given what I think about them, but...
00:46:24Yeah.
00:46:28Oh, these are two amazing.
00:46:30I mean, of course, yes, I will ask him.
00:46:33The things we do for love.
00:46:38Help me.
00:46:41Do you smell that?
00:46:45I don't know, but I want to thank you for a wonderful evening, because that was awesome.
00:46:49I can't believe Ryan won it all, right?
00:46:51It was the first time for everything.
00:46:52Yeah, you hit a set of fives on the river.
00:46:54It was like the luckiest hand ever.
00:46:55No, no, no, you've got to know when to fold them.
00:46:58Okay.
00:46:58I'll win again next week.
00:46:59Yeah, you keep thinking that.
00:47:06Hey, man.
00:47:07Next week?
00:47:08Yeah, next week.
00:47:10Later, guys.
00:47:11See ya.
00:47:17Bye-bye.
00:47:22Bye-bye.
00:47:25Bye-bye.
00:47:30Bye-bye.
00:47:30Bye-bye.
00:47:31Bye-bye.
00:47:31Bye-bye.
00:47:31Bye-bye.
00:47:31Bye-bye.
00:47:31Bye-bye.
00:47:31Bye-bye.
00:47:31Bye-bye.
00:47:33Bye-bye.
00:47:36Bye-bye.
00:48:01You gotta be kidding me.
00:48:27Come on, man.
00:48:28Give it up.
00:48:29Look, I don't want your little Santa or your snowman.
00:48:33I haven't a clue what you're rambling about.
00:48:35I'm talking about these decorations you keep leaving on my lawn.
00:48:38Not the guilty party.
00:48:40Well, then who is?
00:48:42Well, maybe you've been visited by some Christmas elves.
00:49:14Oh, my God.
00:49:16Oh, my God.
00:49:19Oh, my God.
00:49:23Oh, my God.
00:49:46Hey.
00:49:47Hey.
00:49:47Come on in.
00:49:48Thanks.
00:49:54You bought my books?
00:49:55Oh.
00:49:56No.
00:49:56Not me.
00:49:58These are my sister's boyfriend's books.
00:50:00He's a huge fan, and he asked me if you would sign them.
00:50:04I hope you don't mind.
00:50:05No.
00:50:06It's fine.
00:50:07It's whatever.
00:50:08Oh, my gosh.
00:50:10That is so sweet.
00:50:11I was wondering where all my socks have been disappearing, too.
00:50:14Aw.
00:50:17Oh, thanks.
00:50:19So I noticed you had a late night last night.
00:50:22I noticed that you had a late night, too.
00:50:25New boyfriend?
00:50:26No.
00:50:27Just a blind date.
00:50:29How'd it go?
00:50:30Pretty good.
00:50:32I think that we will be going on again.
00:50:35So.
00:50:36Hmm.
00:50:37So who should I sign these to?
00:50:39Steve.
00:50:39Okay.
00:50:40To little Steve.
00:50:43I don't know what that means.
00:50:45To Steve.
00:50:47Go get him, tagger.
00:50:51To my good buddy, Steve.
00:50:57Never give up.
00:50:59Eric.
00:51:02Another satisfied customer.
00:51:04Thank you very much.
00:51:06You will be very happy.
00:51:13Uh, anyways, um, I should go practice.
00:51:18You sound amazing.
00:51:21I heard you when I was outside earlier.
00:51:25Oh.
00:51:26Well, I hope I wasn't too loud.
00:51:28Not at all.
00:51:29Wasn't that Debussy you were playing?
00:51:32Yeah.
00:51:33Uh, the girl with the flaxen hair.
00:51:35I've never heard that as a violin solo.
00:51:37You're really talented.
00:51:41I just wish that talent was enough.
00:51:44What do you mean?
00:51:46Uh, I have this, uh, audition with the Philharmonic,
00:51:49and I have this history of botching my auditions.
00:51:53How?
00:51:59Hiccups.
00:52:02What?
00:52:03Don't laugh.
00:52:04It's serious.
00:52:05I get the worst hiccups when I'm nervous.
00:52:07Okay.
00:52:07Well then we need to find a way for you to not be nervous.
00:52:10Yeah.
00:52:14How does someone get over stage fright?
00:52:17Technology.
00:52:17It's the best.
00:52:18Okay.
00:52:18I found this on the web for how do you get over stage fright.
00:52:21Okay.
00:52:22All right.
00:52:22We got something.
00:52:24Method one.
00:52:25Try chewing gum to relax your body.
00:52:27No.
00:52:28Definitely do not want to do that while playing the violin.
00:52:30That sounds very stupid.
00:52:33All right.
00:52:33Method two.
00:52:35Meditate for 15 to 20 minutes before going on stage.
00:52:38That could be good.
00:52:39I tried that.
00:52:40Sounds good.
00:52:41It didn't work for me.
00:52:42Okay.
00:52:43Moving on.
00:52:44Method three.
00:52:46Laugh as much as you can.
00:52:48It does not say that.
00:52:50Wait.
00:52:50You think I'm making this stuff off?
00:52:52No.
00:52:52Look.
00:52:53Um.
00:52:55Yeah.
00:52:56No.
00:52:56It does say that.
00:52:56Yeah.
00:52:57It does.
00:52:57It definitely says that.
00:52:58I don't think that.
00:52:59No.
00:53:00Okay.
00:53:00Well.
00:53:01Method four seems a little bit more reasonable.
00:53:05Imagine that every seat in the audience is filled with a clone of your favorite person.
00:53:10Preferably someone who encourages you.
00:53:13Well that does seem very reasonable.
00:53:16I'm sure you have plenty of people who would fit the bill.
00:53:20I have one or two.
00:53:22Great.
00:53:23Then you're covered.
00:53:26Thanks.
00:53:27And thank you for these.
00:53:29Anytime.
00:53:32See ya.
00:53:33Bye.
00:53:43Hi.
00:53:46I didn't realize they were coming to the party with us.
00:53:49I couldn't leave them with a stranger.
00:53:50Well.
00:53:51What about that music teacher neighbor of yours?
00:53:53April?
00:53:53I barely know her.
00:53:55And besides, Nick set up a screening room in one of the offices.
00:53:57They got a ton of kids' movies.
00:53:59Uncle Eric told us to be in our best behavior tonight.
00:54:02And be extra nice to you.
00:54:07Okay.
00:54:19All the kids are having a great time in there.
00:54:21Yeah.
00:54:22That was a great idea.
00:54:23Thanks, Nat.
00:54:25Your date doesn't look too happy.
00:54:27She didn't expect me to bring Liam and Chelsea out with us.
00:54:30I guess you'll have to make that up to her, huh?
00:54:32Yeah.
00:54:33Thanks.
00:54:35I hate to bug you, but, um, how's the book coming?
00:54:38Not much better than the last time you asked.
00:54:40Have you tried writing in a different environment?
00:54:42That might help.
00:54:43I've tried every coffee house and park bench in town.
00:54:46Mm-hmm.
00:54:47Are you gonna be able to make your deadline?
00:54:50I mean, I hate to say it, but if you don't, you could be in breach of contract.
00:54:55No pressure.
00:54:56Mm.
00:54:57Thanks for that, Nick.
00:54:58Mm-hmm.
00:54:59I guess I'm gonna go mingle.
00:55:00You do that.
00:55:08Hey, neighbor.
00:55:10Hey.
00:55:11Nice candy canes.
00:55:14Thanks.
00:55:14You want me to put some in your yard?
00:55:16Hmm.
00:55:17No.
00:55:17I'm good.
00:55:19Hey, um, do you like ice skating?
00:55:21Because Elaine and I are gonna go tonight, and I thought maybe you and the kids could tag along.
00:55:25That sounds fun.
00:55:26But, uh, I can't.
00:55:28I have a prior thing.
00:55:30But thanks.
00:55:31The kids would have loved that.
00:55:32Well, they're welcome to come with us, if you don't mind.
00:55:35No, you've done enough.
00:55:38I wouldn't want to impose.
00:55:40Not at all.
00:55:41It'd be fun.
00:55:42Really?
00:55:43Yeah.
00:55:44Okay, I'll let them know.
00:55:46Okay, cool.
00:55:47Thanks.
00:55:47All right, see you later.
00:55:48See ya.
00:55:50You sure you don't want some candy canes?
00:55:53I'm good.
00:56:00This is absolutely delicious.
00:56:02Where did you learn to cook like this?
00:56:04Well, I started when I was writing my bachelor's cookbook.
00:56:07You know, at first it was just research.
00:56:09Turns out I was pretty good at it.
00:56:11Well, thank you for making this a special evening.
00:56:16I know I've been a little distracted lately, but things will get better once I finish my book.
00:56:21Once your sister gets back and picks up the kids?
00:56:25Yeah, well, that too.
00:56:28You should have heard Liam and Chelsea on the phone with Dana.
00:56:31You know, they were just going on about how much fun they're having with me.
00:56:35I'd say you're having as much fun as they are.
00:56:39Why shouldn't I?
00:56:41You know, they're my niece and nephew.
00:56:44Because one of the things that first attracted me to you was the fact that you don't have kids.
00:56:49But lately you've been acting a lot more like a doting father than someone who writes about being a single
00:56:54guy.
00:56:54Well, what's wrong with that?
00:56:57The truth is, Eric, you're nothing like your books at all.
00:57:10So, where's the handsome uncle tonight?
00:57:13He had a plan.
00:57:15Well, you're a very good neighbor.
00:57:16Well, is there something going on between you two?
00:57:21You are incorrigible.
00:57:23What?
00:57:24It's my job to be a pest.
00:57:25If I don't find you a handsome husband, who's going to?
00:57:27I will.
00:57:28I will find myself a handsome husband.
00:57:30I like the kids, they like me, and we are having fun.
00:57:34Right.
00:57:35And there's nothing romantic between you two.
00:57:37No!
00:57:39Then, uh, I guess we're all good here.
00:57:46Hey!
00:57:47You're here early?
00:57:48Yeah, my, uh, prior engagement didn't go so well.
00:57:52The woman from the restaurant?
00:57:54Yeah.
00:57:55Uncle Eric, look at me!
00:57:58Wow, Chelsea, you're an amazing skater.
00:58:01I know.
00:58:03And humble.
00:58:05Hey, guys, do you want to go get some hot chocolate?
00:58:08Yes!
00:58:11Is that even a question?
00:58:12Everybody loves hot chocolate.
00:58:14I know.
00:58:15So join us!
00:58:17No, I'm good here.
00:58:18I'm not gonna take no for an answer.
00:58:21I don't have any skates.
00:58:23They rent them here.
00:58:25Come on!
00:58:29I'll be right back.
00:58:30I'll show you my moves!
00:58:32My super up!
00:58:33Did you see that?
00:58:34I just turned!
00:58:35Woo!
00:58:38Thanks again for looking after the kids tonight.
00:58:40And they really love spending time with you.
00:58:42Well, they're great.
00:58:44I'm sorry that your previous engagement didn't turn out well.
00:58:47Well, apparently Bridget prefers me as an unencumbered single guy without any kids around.
00:58:53So she would prefer to be with the kind of guy that you read about in your books?
00:58:56Wait, you?
00:58:57I read your books.
00:58:59The ones that you signed for Steve.
00:59:01You hated them, didn't you?
00:59:03Actually, no, I didn't.
00:59:04I thought there was an honesty to what you were saying, and I think you're a really good writer.
00:59:10It's...
00:59:10Go on.
00:59:11I can take it.
00:59:13Look, I only read two of your books, but it kind of feels like you're saying the same thing, just
00:59:18in different ways.
00:59:19I know, I know.
00:59:20I've been saying it since my 20s.
00:59:23You know that quote, it takes courage to grow up and be who you really are?
00:59:29No, I don't think that's a real quote, but I like the way it sounds.
00:59:32Okay, well, maybe it's time for me to admit that I'm growing up.
00:59:39Maybe you should write about that in your books, huh?
00:59:42I'm still putting the pieces together, but you know what?
00:59:46I think they're falling into place.
00:59:48Yeah?
00:59:48Yeah.
01:00:00There you go, big guy.
01:00:01You're a strong girl.
01:00:02This is lots of fun.
01:00:03I'm glad to talk to you on this cool moves.
01:00:05You're welcome.
01:00:05You're a great driver.
01:00:06Thanks.
01:00:07Are you gonna buy one of these?
01:00:08Hey, go get ready for bed.
01:00:10I'll be up there in a minute.
01:00:11Come on, Josh.
01:00:12Good night, you guys.
01:00:13Good night, April.
01:00:13Bye.
01:00:15Let me walk you home.
01:00:17It's a rough neighborhood out there.
01:00:19Okay.
01:00:21Oh, gosh.
01:00:23How can you deny that Christmas is just the best time of year?
01:00:27The air is so cool and crisp.
01:00:30You can smell the fireplaces.
01:00:32The stars are twinkling in the sky, and all of these lights, it's just so magical.
01:00:39I can't deny that it's pretty, and charming, and all that other stuff, but it reminds me of something I'd
01:00:48rather not remember.
01:00:51That person that I remind you of.
01:00:54Well, only in the sense that she was all about Christmas, too.
01:01:00So, one year I decided to give her the ultimate Christmas present.
01:01:05I proposed on Christmas Eve.
01:01:07Ring it all.
01:01:10What I didn't know is that she'd fallen in love with someone else.
01:01:19I could see why you'd want to forget that.
01:01:22Now you know the real reason I don't do Christmas.
01:01:25Or have much fondness for women who do.
01:01:28Well, that's not exactly true.
01:01:31Anymore.
01:01:35Well, I'm glad to hear that.
01:01:38And a lot of that's your fault.
01:01:42Well, I take full responsibility.
01:01:45Uncle Eric!
01:01:48I should.
01:01:49You should.
01:01:49You should probably get those kids together.
01:01:51You should probably, yeah.
01:01:54Goodnight.
01:01:55Night.
01:02:00Hey, um...
01:02:03I'm really glad that you came ice skating with us tonight.
01:02:05It was a lot of fun.
01:02:07Yeah, it was.
01:02:20You're looking again!
01:02:21Okay, okay, okay.
01:02:25Are you awake, Uncle Eric?
01:02:28I am now.
01:02:30Okay, come on!
01:02:30Get up!
01:02:31We got somebody to show you!
01:02:32What?
01:02:32Hurry up!
01:02:33Just come!
01:02:36Okay, come on!
01:02:37Come on!
01:02:38Come on!
01:02:39Come on!
01:02:41Look!
01:02:47Unbelievable.
01:02:48You two get ready for breakfast.
01:02:50I'll be right in.
01:02:50Come on!
01:03:10What's the use?
01:03:14ulator.
01:03:31He messed up.
01:03:35We made this all to me at you that's it?
01:03:36Where come on?
01:03:36It's this the Omelette.
01:03:37Oro!
01:03:41Chuck.
01:03:54PIANO PLAYS
01:04:23Hi, this is April Stewart,
01:04:25and I am calling to confirm my 4 o'clock audition for today.
01:04:30Yeah, thank you.
01:04:36Nick, I had an amazing breakthrough yesterday,
01:04:39and I worked all night.
01:04:40But I got to warn you,
01:04:41I kind of went off in a different direction.
01:04:43How different?
01:04:44Look, just read it, okay?
01:04:46I'm going to send you the pages in a few minutes,
01:04:47and we'll talk later.
01:04:51Hey, guys, breakfast is ready.
01:05:06Add some new decorations?
01:05:10No, I'm just moving things around.
01:05:15My audition is this afternoon,
01:05:17so I'm just trying to keep myself distracted.
01:05:21Well, I have no doubt that you will crush it.
01:05:24What piece are you going to play?
01:05:26I haven't decided yet.
01:05:28If I were you,
01:05:29I'd play that Christmas one you've been practicing.
01:05:32I mean, look around.
01:05:35It's you.
01:05:37True, but I just don't think it's the best piece for an audition.
01:05:42But it's a great piece,
01:05:43and it shows who you are.
01:05:45And isn't that what you want the orchestra to see?
01:05:49Oh, uh, I almost forgot.
01:05:53Wanted to return your plate.
01:05:54Oh, thank you.
01:05:55And let you know that I stayed up all night writing.
01:05:58And after we spoke, it dawned on me.
01:06:01If I don't believe what I'm writing,
01:06:03my readers won't either.
01:06:07Having Chelsea and Liam around,
01:06:08it kind of put things into perspective.
01:06:11And then the words just started pouring out of me.
01:06:15Wow.
01:06:16Well, I mean, maybe it was the cookies.
01:06:20They definitely didn't hurt.
01:06:23But seriously,
01:06:25you were the inspiration.
01:06:29Wow.
01:06:31Hopefully I have inspired my students, too.
01:06:34You know, tonight's the big test.
01:06:36Tonight?
01:06:37The neighborhood Christmas caroling.
01:06:39Uh...
01:06:40Maybe you'll, uh, join us?
01:06:43Ooh.
01:06:45Come on.
01:06:48It'll be fun.
01:06:49You don't want me to join you.
01:07:17You don't want me to do that.
01:07:43Hey, guys, we gotta go and see my agent.
01:08:00Thanks for coming in.
01:08:01I felt we needed to talk this out in person.
01:08:04That doesn't sound good.
01:08:05No, no, not at all.
01:08:08Come on, Nick.
01:08:09We've known each other for too long.
01:08:11You hated the pages, didn't you?
01:08:13I don't hate them.
01:08:15But this isn't what the publisher bought.
01:08:16That worries me.
01:08:17Look, I know it's different.
01:08:20It's not just different.
01:08:22This is a whole new genre for you.
01:08:24Can't that be a good thing?
01:08:25It can also be a dangerous thing.
01:08:27We're gambling with your career here.
01:08:29We turn these in.
01:08:34Well, that's a gamble I'm willing to take.
01:08:43Merry Christmas, Nick.
01:08:47What?
01:08:48No gift card?
01:08:52What?
01:09:02No gift card?
01:09:02Hey.
01:09:03Hey.
01:09:05Your house is beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
01:09:07Yes, I like it.
01:09:09Well, I figured if you can't beat them, you might as well join them.
01:09:13Yeah, but that's fun.
01:09:14You're welcome.
01:09:15Thanks.
01:09:17You guys?
01:09:18Hey.
01:09:21You're joining us?
01:09:23Any objections?
01:09:27You're surprised, that's all.
01:09:31Listen, Conrad, I think I owe you an apology for being such a Scrooge.
01:09:46Well, if you don't mind, I would like to offer a little advice on your Christmas decor.
01:09:50Let's not push it.
01:09:57Welcome, everybody.

01:14:45I'm glad you're sitting down.
01:14:49Because the publishers.
01:14:55Loved your pages.
01:14:57In fact, they want to sign you to two sequels.
01:15:00What?
01:15:01Are you serious?
01:15:03Boom shakalaka!
01:15:04I don't even know what to say.
01:15:06How about, you were right, and I was wrong.
01:15:09Well, I'm not one to throw things back in someone's face, but.
01:15:11No, no, I deserve it, especially this time.
01:15:13You were right on with the new direction.
01:15:16They think this is gonna be huge.
01:15:19We can't use the old title, so they want to know
01:15:21what you gonna call it.
01:15:24Uncle Christmas.
01:15:25Now Christmas heals the heart.
01:15:27It sounds like a winner.
01:15:28Right?
01:15:28I need a coffee, baby!
01:15:29Yes!
01:15:33Wow.
01:15:36Big girlies.
01:15:37That's so cool!
01:15:41Um, I don't think this one is ours.
01:15:45It's probably for your grandma.
01:15:48No, Uncle Eric bought Grandma Watch.
01:15:50We wrapped it yesterday.
01:15:51Then who's this for?
01:15:54It's probably for Bridget.
01:15:57We'll let Uncle Eric wrap that one himself.
01:16:05Hey, Mom.
01:16:06How's my favorite lady feeling today?
01:16:07Better, but I'm still a little weak.
01:16:10Doctor wants me to stay in one more day.
01:16:12That's terrific.
01:16:14You sound awfully happy.
01:16:16I got some great news from my publisher today.
01:16:19They loved my book.
01:16:20Oh, honey, I'm so proud of you.
01:16:23And if this doesn't prove you don't have a Christmas jinx,
01:16:26I don't know what will.
01:16:29Oh, Eric, I have to go lie down.
01:16:32I'm feeling a little tired just now.
01:16:35Bye.
01:16:38I'll be back in a minute.
01:16:40I'll see you at the house.
01:16:42It's really great news, Eric.
01:16:44Congratulations.
01:16:45Hey, how about I open a bottle of champagne
01:16:46and we celebrate tonight when you get back from work?
01:16:51I usually get off pretty late and I'm tired, so.
01:16:55Okay, well, how about a rain check?
01:16:58I don't think so.
01:17:01There's something wrong.
01:17:04I just, I don't think it's a good idea.
01:17:07Look, I have a student coming in a few minutes and I...
01:17:12Congratulations again.
01:17:13I don't think so.
01:17:24Wake up, sleepyheads.
01:17:27Up, up, up.
01:17:28Come up.
01:17:28Five more minutes.
01:17:30Is it Christmas already?
01:17:31Not until tomorrow, but I have a surprise for you.
01:17:36Come on, get up.
01:17:37Gotta get dressed.
01:17:38Let's go.
01:17:44I know you guys are disappointed your mom and dad aren't back yet,
01:17:47so I thought maybe we could start a tradition of our own.
01:17:49Just three of us.
01:17:51Go on.
01:17:51Go get your skates.
01:17:52I'll meet you over there.
01:17:57Come on.
01:17:59Hey, man.
01:17:59Glad you made it.
01:18:00Thanks.
01:18:01Where are the kids?
01:18:01They're already on the ice.
01:18:04So, uh, how are Sen and his reindeer doing?
01:18:09What are you talking about?
01:18:11Your front lawn.
01:18:13That was you?
01:18:15What, you didn't figure it out?
01:18:18Obviously not.
01:18:19Well, it's a good thing you're not a mystery writer.
01:18:27You should put that one on the tree.
01:18:29Yeah.
01:18:29Looks pretty good, doesn't it?
01:18:31That's a lot of turkey for just us.
01:18:33The leftovers are the best part.
01:18:35I don't care if it's just the three of us.
01:18:37We are going to have a Christmas Eve to remember.
01:18:40Can we invite April?
01:18:41I thought about that, but I know she's working tonight.
01:18:45And besides, I think she might be mad at me.
01:18:47What for?
01:18:49I wish I knew.
01:18:50Do you think it's about that necklace?
01:18:52What necklace?
01:18:53The one you bought for Bridget.
01:18:54I didn't buy Bridget a necklace.
01:18:56Well, April said you did.
01:18:58It was in the bag of presents we were wrapping.
01:19:00She said you should wrap it yourself.
01:19:02Now it makes sense.
01:19:04It does?
01:19:06Yeah, I'll explain it to you in a few years.
01:19:17Sorry, April.
01:19:18We need to talk.
01:19:25Hey, how was last night?
01:19:27How did it go?
01:19:28It didn't.
01:19:29What do you mean?
01:19:31His girlfriend was there waiting for him when we got home.
01:19:34I'm so sorry, April.
01:19:37It'll be okay.
01:19:38I'm so sorry, April.
01:19:40I'm so sorry, April.
01:19:43I'm so sorry, April.
01:19:45I'm so sorry, April.
01:19:46I'm so sorry, April.
01:19:50I'm so sorry, April.
01:19:53I'm so sorry, April.
01:19:53I'm so sorry, April.
01:19:54I'm so sorry, April.
01:19:56I'm so sorry, April.
01:19:56I'm so sorry, April.
01:19:56I'm so sorry, April.
01:19:56I'm so sorry, April.
01:19:57I'm so sorry, April.
01:19:57I'm so sorry, April.
01:19:57I'm so sorry, April.
01:19:58I'm so sorry, April.
01:19:59I'm so sorry, April.
01:19:59I'm so sorry, April.
01:19:59I'm so sorry, April.
01:20:00I'm so sorry, April.
01:20:00I'm so sorry, April.
01:20:02I'm so sorry, April.
01:20:16Uncle Eric, this is, uh, kind of lumpy.
01:20:22What could that be?
01:20:25Maybe it's Santa.
01:20:27It's way too early, Uncle Eric.
01:20:29Ugh, too smart for your own good.
01:20:35Surprise!
01:20:36You're back!
01:20:36You made it!
01:20:37Oh, Dad!
01:20:38It was too small.
01:20:39Smells like turkey in here.
01:20:41Oh, it's a little bit of turkey.
01:20:42Hi.
01:20:43Hi.
01:20:43Oh, it's so good.
01:20:45Get over here, you young.
01:20:46Hello.
01:20:47Get over here.
01:20:49Don't drop, Eddie.
01:20:51Oh, my goodness.
01:20:52The ride was incredible.
01:20:54Don't you?
01:20:54Don't you?
01:20:54Don't you?
01:20:55Don't you?
01:20:55Don't you?
01:20:56Oh, my gosh.
01:20:59We decorated it ourselves.
01:21:01Wow.
01:21:02Did you really?
01:21:03How long did that take you?
01:21:05A long time.
01:21:06I bet they're so beautiful.
01:21:07Mom?
01:21:07Yes?
01:21:08Should you be out in your condition?
01:21:10Oh, my gosh.
01:21:12Oh, about that.
01:21:13Oh, my God.
01:21:13Bummy.
01:21:14Thank you so much.
01:21:15Let me see you.
01:21:16Let me see you.
01:21:17Um, I was never actually sick.
01:21:20I kind of lied about having the flu.
01:21:23Well, if you wanted to get rid of the kids that badly, you could have just been honest with
01:21:26me.
01:21:27Actually, you were the kid I wanted to get rid of.
01:21:30I just thought that if you were forced to take on some responsibility, you'd grow and,
01:21:35you know, let go of the past.
01:21:37And you know what, sweetheart?
01:21:39From what I've seen this week, I think it worked.
01:21:42Now, I hope you're not too mad at me, huh?
01:21:45Huh?
01:21:47I started to feel guilty around day three.
01:21:51I'm not mad.
01:21:53I get why you did it.
01:21:55Maybe you should be the writer in the family.
01:21:57Definitely fiction.
01:22:01Oh, wow.
01:22:02Look at that tree.
01:22:03Yeah.
01:22:04You know, that is the largest tree I have ever seen anyone's house.
01:22:08I thought it was like the ones you get every year.
01:22:10What?
01:22:11No.
01:22:16Honey, this turkey is absolutely delicious.
01:22:18I basted the turkey for an hour.
01:22:20Where did you learn how to cook like this?
01:22:22Well, I wrote a book, which you obviously didn't read either.
01:22:25Has anyone read my book?
01:22:26Has anyone read my recipe book?
01:22:28I really want to know.
01:22:29Honey, honey, tell us about your trip, won't you?
01:22:31We spent the last 24 hours flying home by way of Moscow, Brussels, and London.
01:22:36But hey, at least you made it home for Christmas, right?
01:22:40And you two really came through for us.
01:22:43We were happy to help, weren't we, Mom?
01:22:46Looks like Uncle Eric kept you too busy.
01:22:50It's more like they kept me busy.
01:22:51Yeah, and we haven't even told you about the ice skating
01:22:53and the Christmas caroling with April.
01:22:55Yeah.
01:22:55That was so much fun.
01:22:58Okay, so someone needs to fill us in and let us know who April is.
01:23:02I thought the last girl you were dating was named Bridget.
01:23:05Well, the word was pretty much sums up that relationship.
01:23:08Okay, I'm a little confused here as to who April is.
01:23:12She lives two doors down.
01:23:13She was great with Liam and Chelsea, wasn't she, guys?
01:23:16So why isn't she here tonight?
01:23:19Because she doesn't seem to be talking to me right now.
01:23:21Sounds like more than just a neighbor to me.
01:23:24Yeah.
01:23:25Well, I was kind of hoping that would be the case,
01:23:27but I guess I blew it somehow.
01:23:30Okay, Romeo.
01:23:31So if she lives next door,
01:23:32why don't you just go over and tell her how you feel?
01:23:35Because she's not home.
01:23:39But I know where she is.
01:23:43What am I doing?
01:23:47I'm sorry, guys.
01:23:48I gotta go.
01:23:50Thanks for your advice, sis.
01:23:51What?
01:23:52What?
01:24:06We need to talk.
01:24:08I can't.
01:24:09I'm looking.
01:24:09I'm not going anywhere until you listen to me.
01:24:12There's nothing to say.
01:24:13You have a girlfriend.
01:24:14I misread the signals.
01:24:16No harm done.
01:24:18You didn't misread any signals.
01:24:20Bridget and I are not a couple.
01:24:22She just came over last night to apologize,
01:24:23and we wished each other well.
01:24:26And about that necklace you saw?
01:24:29I bought it for you.
01:24:32No one else.
01:24:34I told you the first time I saw it,
01:24:36it was meant for you.
01:24:39And maybe I am, too.
01:24:44Maybe we're meant for each other.
01:24:52And you don't even write romance novels.
01:24:55I'd rather live one.
01:25:07How's that for a happy ending?
01:25:10Well, it's not over yet.
01:25:12I heard from the orchestra.
01:25:13I'm in.
01:25:15Oh, by the way,
01:25:20what are you doing for New Year's Eve?
01:25:24You mind if I steal April tonight?
01:25:25You two get out of here.
01:25:30Bye.
01:25:33Merry Christmas.
01:25:35With the sleigh bells ringing
01:25:39And the choir singing
01:25:42I watch how it all lights up your eyes
01:25:50And when I wish upon the winter sky
01:25:55It's for you, this Christmas time
01:26:04It's for you, this Christmas time
01:26:08It's for you, this Christmas time
