00:00:03Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
00:00:08Oh, what fun it is to ride in the one-horse open sleigh
00:00:13Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
00:00:19Oh, what fun it is to ride in the one-horse open sleigh
00:00:29Wow, you've been busy
00:00:30Yes
00:00:31And you look great
00:00:33Thank you
00:00:35Oh, that's where that's been
00:00:39That part of my life is over
00:00:42Well, we can still eat the treats
00:00:45I mean, these are the literal fruits of your labor
00:00:48Oh, great
00:00:49My entire career summed up in apricot preserves
00:00:54Are you going to be okay at the house?
00:00:57I mean, I know you cleaned the place from top to bottom last week
00:01:00And, you know, if you're bored
00:01:02No!
00:01:02I signed up to volunteer with the Christmas committee at the Chamber of Commerce
00:01:06Our first meeting is this morning
00:01:08Sounds like a good time
00:01:10I'll see you after
00:01:12Love you
00:01:13Love you, too
00:01:34Huh
00:01:37The meeting started at nine
00:01:55Barb
00:01:55Hi, I'm Kath
00:01:57It's Barbara, actually
00:01:59Oh
00:01:59You know, for your email, it said that the meeting started at nine
00:02:03Oh, well, it's a loose nine
00:02:05Oh
00:02:06Okay
00:02:08Okay
00:02:11Welcome to my happy place
00:02:15Ho, ho, ho, everybody
00:02:16Hi, Doug
00:02:17Start of another season
00:02:19Oh, I didn't get the memo about the ugly Christmas sweaters
00:02:26Ugly?
00:02:28Ugly?
00:02:29What do you mean?
00:02:31It's just that, you know, people sometimes call them that when, you know, because they're so festive
00:02:36Oh, well, we like to get into the spirit
00:02:38And I made mine
00:02:40And it's, it's, it's adorable
00:02:44Morning, Kath
00:02:45Hi, Jim
00:02:47Hey, Doug
00:02:48Hey, buddy
00:02:53What's he doing?
00:02:55Oh, Jim likes to get his steps in
00:02:56You'll get used to it
00:02:57Oh, you guys, this is Barb Ara
00:03:01She's a retired accountant
00:03:02Barbara Harrison
00:03:04Hi
00:03:06Yolanda recruited her
00:03:07Although I don't know why, because I think we're doing a great job
00:03:10But what do I know?
00:03:13Oh, Barb Ara, this is our scrappy little family
00:03:16This is Doug and Jim
00:03:17And our motto is, we deploy Christmas joy
00:03:21Anyway, and how do we do that, you might be asking
00:03:23Through Brooklyn's ABCs of Christmas
00:03:26Attract people downtown
00:03:27Boost local business
00:03:29Support our charities
00:03:30Now, I spearhead general events
00:03:32That's Santa's Village
00:03:33And the Holiday Market
00:03:34Both going up this weekend
00:03:35And the Holiday Market, of course
00:03:38Boosts businesses
00:03:39Which, as a former marketing guy, is my area of expertise
00:03:43And I head up charities
00:03:44Which include trolley caroling
00:03:46And our grand finale
00:03:48Brooklyn's Christmas Ball
00:03:49Anyway, I like to start off the season
00:03:52With a team-building activity
00:03:54Where we all volunteer as a group
00:03:55So this year
00:03:57We're going to make turkey supper sandwiches
00:03:58At a local nursing home
00:03:59I love turkey supper sandwiches
00:04:02Yum
00:04:02Me too
00:04:02Nothing kicks off the season
00:04:04Then a little bit of teamwork
00:04:10Okay
00:04:10Well, great
00:04:12I will be there
00:04:15So, really
00:04:16Between the three of us
00:04:17There's nothing that we don't know
00:04:19About Christmas in Brooklyn
00:04:20And we really are
00:04:21Yolanda
00:04:22How is my favorite Christmas committee?
00:04:25You must be Barbara Harrison
00:04:26Guilty as charged
00:04:28Yolanda Sharp
00:04:29President of the Chamber of Commerce
00:04:30We are so lucky
00:04:32To have you on the Christmas committee
00:04:34Oh, well, I am so happy to be here
00:04:37Barbara was head of accounting for Genesis
00:04:39For how many years?
00:04:40Well, I prefer not to say
00:04:42Oh, Kath
00:04:43Do you have the next year budget outline?
00:04:45I was expecting it on my desk this morning
00:04:47Oh, I'm sorry
00:04:48I thought you said that you
00:04:50I will get it to you ASAP
00:04:52Thank you
00:04:54Maybe you could teach Kath
00:04:55A thing or two about the business world
00:04:58Nice meeting you
00:05:02Kath
00:05:02Her email said that budgets weren't due until next week
00:05:05Yes, I know that
00:05:07But I couldn't tell her that
00:05:08Why not?
00:05:09Because she's the boss
00:05:10And now I have to make a budget ASAP
00:05:13Well, I'd be happy to spearhead it
00:05:15It is my area of expertise
00:05:17All right, then
00:05:19That'd be a big help
00:05:20What is this?
00:05:21Those are my receipts from last year
00:05:24I've never met anyone
00:05:26Who keeps their business receipts
00:05:28In an actual shoebox
00:05:30Well, they're in chronological order
00:05:32So try not to shake them
00:05:33Oh, no, I'll be very gentle
00:05:35Wouldn't want to disrupt the system
00:05:39Really appreciate your help
00:05:40Really?
00:05:41You seem to need it
00:05:43See you tomorrow
00:05:55Hey
00:05:56Hey, hon
00:05:57What was your meeting?
00:05:58You know, I was used to things running in a pretty orderly fashion at the office
00:06:02And it turns out the world doesn't really work that way
00:06:05Some people operate in pure chaos
00:06:08Well, they're lucky they have you to set them straight
00:06:11Ah, new open house?
00:06:13Yeah, last one of the year
00:06:15And I'm adding a little extra
00:06:19Christmas magic to this one
00:06:20Oh, that's so nice
00:06:23Shane is here
00:06:24Shane, honey, everything all right?
00:06:26I'm okay, yeah
00:06:27I got some repairs to do at the theater
00:06:29So I figured I could look at some of Granddad's old tools
00:06:32Do you know how to use any of those?
00:06:34That's what YouTube is there for, Mom
00:06:36You know, that's my fault
00:06:38I mean, I sell houses
00:06:39I don't fix them
00:06:40I never taught you and your brother
00:06:42It's okay
00:06:42So you guys have got it all figured out
00:06:44I mean, slow season in real estate
00:06:46Can enjoy time with family
00:06:48But you know what?
00:06:50I've got a staple gun
00:06:51And a dream
00:06:53Well, you could always get your real estate license
00:06:56Mom, I'm not a business-y guy
00:06:58I know
00:06:59So you think I need help moving more houses?
00:07:02Couldn't hurt
00:07:02You know that our son Shane is very charming
00:07:06Yeah, Dad
00:07:07The Sunday Times did say my charisma is infectious
00:07:10We'll never forget that review
00:07:12Well, you know, infectious can be a bad thing
00:07:15I mean, diseases are infectious
00:07:16Oh
00:07:17He's teasing you
00:07:18Stop
00:07:19You were wonderful
00:07:20Thank you
00:07:21Go staple
00:07:22Whatever it is you staple
00:07:23I will see you both Friday for dinner
00:07:26Okay
00:07:26Love you
00:07:28Looking forward to it
00:07:32I think he's lonely
00:07:34Oh, no, not this again
00:07:36What?
00:07:37Did you hear all that stuff about family and Christmas?
00:07:40I know you're retired
00:07:41And you're itching for a project
00:07:43But shame is not your project
00:07:45Who said anything about a project?
00:07:51Do you know someone who is unlucky in love?
00:07:54Merry Matchmaker allows friends and families to play matchmaker
00:07:58Here are today's matches
00:08:07Mom, hi
00:08:12I'm so sorry I'm late
00:08:13Work's been crazy
00:08:14That's okay, honey
00:08:15Thanks for coming to get me
00:08:16Hi
00:08:17I should get the van out of the shop next week
00:08:19And then maybe we can go wrangle ourselves a Christmas tree
00:08:21Yeah, yeah
00:08:22I just have to check my schedule
00:08:24But I'm sure I can make that work
00:08:25Oh, I have had such a day
00:08:27There's a new woman on the Christmas committee
00:08:29An accountant
00:08:30And she is such a piece of work
00:08:33And you know me
00:08:34I get along with everybody
00:08:35But there's just something about her that really busted my biscuits
00:08:38But you would have been very proud of me
00:08:40I stayed non-reactive and I killed her with kindness
00:08:43I am proud of you
00:08:45Oh, you got a match
00:08:46A what? A match?
00:08:48Honey, remember?
00:08:49I signed you up for that matchmaker app
00:08:51What? I said I wasn't interested
00:08:54Sweetheart, wouldn't you like some holiday romance?
00:08:56I don't want you to be lonely at Christmas
00:08:58I'm not lonely
00:08:59I have friends
00:09:00I have you
00:09:01Plus, it's okay to be by yourself sometimes
00:09:03Okay
00:09:04Okay?
00:09:05Mm-hmm
00:09:05Great
00:09:06It's yours
00:09:06I will not hear another word out of me
00:09:08What about this guy?
00:09:10No
00:09:13Oops
00:09:14This committee has too many matching outfits
00:09:18Well, give them a chance
00:09:20They might surprise you
00:09:23Oh, what have you here?
00:09:25This is a Jolly Julep
00:09:27Hmm
00:09:27Wait
00:09:28Forgot the garnish
00:09:31Oh, you cannot forget that
00:09:37What do you think?
00:09:40Delicious
00:09:42Oh
00:09:43Boy, an email from Kath
00:09:45Hey, committee fam
00:09:47This is an extra special reminder
00:09:49For everyone to show up on time tomorrow
00:09:51For turkey supper sandwiches
00:09:53Whatever those are
00:09:55Wouldn't want anyone to stress out about punctuality
00:10:02So what exactly is a turkey supper sandwich?
00:10:06Turkey supper in a sandwich
00:10:09It's a big hit with our local seniors
00:10:13Oh
00:10:14Just remembered
00:10:16I brought festive headbands for you
00:10:19And for you
00:10:21And you
00:10:22Uh, no
00:10:22I'm not wearing that
00:10:23Oh, don't be so uptight
00:10:24I am not uptight
00:10:26Oh
00:10:27Suit yourself
00:10:32Oh, whoa, whoa
00:10:33What are you doing?
00:10:34That's a family recipe
00:10:35I made that
00:10:35It's just a bit of salt
00:10:37Oh, you're trying to give everybody high blood pressure?
00:10:39Or maybe make the food taste good
00:10:40Oh, it tastes good
00:10:42Give me that
00:10:42No
00:10:43Yes
00:10:43No
00:10:43Yes
00:10:44No
00:10:44Yes
00:10:48That's a bad omen
00:10:51Do we really have to serve all these in less than an hour?
00:10:54That's not much time
00:10:55Oh, we'll get it done
00:10:56Oh, I have an idea
00:10:58What about a little friendly competition?
00:11:00Me and Doug
00:11:01Versus you
00:11:02And Jim
00:11:03Sure
00:11:04Okay
00:11:05Whoever makes the most sandwiches before five
00:11:08Wins
00:11:09You're on
00:11:12And go
00:11:18Good King Winslet's last looked out
00:11:20On the feast of Stephen
00:11:21Our sandwich are almost done
00:11:23Then I will be even
00:11:25Okay, well, obviously those aren't the words
00:11:27That's not even how the song goes
00:11:29Uh, who cares?
00:11:30Well, maybe the good King
00:11:31The good King Winslet's?
00:11:34Winslet's
00:11:36Winslet's
00:11:36Winslet's
00:11:36Winslet's
00:11:37Winslet's
00:11:37We're going to win, Jim
00:11:39The benefit of an organized system
00:11:41That's the spirit
00:11:48Time's up
00:11:49Oh
00:11:52We won
00:11:54Well, most importantly, we got all the sandwiches made
00:11:56Oh, people are probably getting seated by now
00:11:59Everybody grab a tray?
00:12:00Well, it's only 4.55
00:12:01Well, you of all people
00:12:02I thought would appreciate being early
00:12:06Oh, no way
00:12:07Doug, you take it
00:12:10I got you some bubbly to celebrate your first big design
00:12:14Well, it's not done yet
00:12:16Oh, come on, honey
00:12:17You've got to celebrate the little wins along the way
00:12:20I don't want to get too ahead of myself
00:12:22Okay, well, then I am celebrating you
00:12:24I am so proud of you for running your own firm
00:12:27Co-running
00:12:28Okay, can you just take a compliment?
00:12:31And I'm sorry that I tried to fix you up earlier
00:12:36Thanks
00:12:38I'm really overwhelmed with this project right now
00:12:41Now, it would break my heart
00:12:43If you missed out on meeting the right guy
00:12:45Because it wasn't the right time
00:12:51But I know that you are very busy with your work right now
00:12:54And even if I did find the most perfect, handsome guy
00:12:58Who is exactly right for you
00:13:00Then I know that you wouldn't be interested in meeting him
00:13:01You're still on the app?
00:13:05He is so cute
00:13:07He's so handsome
00:13:08And he's funny
00:13:09And he owns his own business
00:13:10And he's a Scorpio
00:13:12Checks all your boxes
00:13:14You think he's perfect for me and I have to meet him?
00:13:16Yes, I think you're going to love him
00:13:19And if I do meet him and he's not perfect for me
00:13:21Then we can agree that maybe you're not going to find
00:13:24Mr. Right on this app
00:13:25And we can stop talking about it forever
00:13:27Forever is a long time
00:13:29Mom
00:13:30Okay, yes
00:13:31If you meet him and he's not the right guy
00:13:33You will not hear a peep out of me
00:13:36Promise?
00:13:38Ish
00:13:39Promise
00:13:45Mom, what are you doing?
00:13:47Oh, just fluffing the tree
00:13:49We already fluffed it
00:13:50Oh, not the way I like it
00:13:52Oh, I forgot
00:13:53Nothing is right until you do it yourself
00:13:55That is not always true
00:13:57Mm-hmm
00:13:58You should have seen the dreadful receipt system for the Christmas committee
00:14:02It was in an actual shoebox
00:14:04Thank goodness I've made them a clear, concise spreadsheet
00:14:08Thank goodness
00:14:09However do they survive without it
00:14:10You know I could take over your payroll
00:14:12It's fine
00:14:14But I know you hate doing it
00:14:16I don't think I would love you being all up in my finances
00:14:20Why? Is everything okay?
00:14:22Yes, but
00:14:23I'm glad you're keeping busy
00:14:25Speaking of
00:14:27I found your dream girl today
00:14:29Oh
00:14:29Is she a retiree on the Christmas committee?
00:14:32No, silly
00:14:33She's your age and she's very pretty
00:14:35Okay, Mom?
00:14:36Just because you think we don't have the same taste
00:14:38I know we don't have the same taste
00:14:40Well, this one is different
00:14:42I don't
00:14:42I just have a feeling
00:14:44Okay
00:14:46Where'd you meet her?
00:14:49I found her online
00:14:50Oh, we are done here
00:14:52I'm just asking you to meet her
00:14:55But if you don't want to honor your mother's wishes
00:14:57I understand
00:14:59Okay, we don't have to go straight for the guilt trip
00:15:01Mom, please
00:15:02Look, I know I wasn't around this much
00:15:04When you were a little kid
00:15:05I was working all the time
00:15:07I just want to make it up to you
00:15:09Be more involved in your life
00:15:11Okay, Mom
00:15:13No hard feelings, okay?
00:15:16Meet her, please
00:15:18For me
00:15:25You know you want to
00:15:26I don't
00:15:32Hey, Danielle
00:15:32I just emailed you a couple mock-ups of the design
00:15:35Let me know what you think
00:15:36I have to go to a drinks thing
00:15:38With some guy my mom set me up with
00:15:41Knowing her, he won't be my type at all
00:15:43But I'll suffer through it
00:15:44I don't think it'll last more than an hour
00:15:46Wish me luck
00:15:50You must be Lauren
00:15:53You're Shane
00:15:54Yeah
00:15:56Only an hour, huh?
00:15:57I guess it better make it count
00:15:58I'm sorry, I didn't...
00:16:00Don't worry about it
00:16:05Thank you
00:16:09Okay, so it was a sold-out crowd
00:16:10And we had tested this yellow brick road
00:16:13Like, I don't know, a dozen times
00:16:15Of course, on opening night
00:16:17It decides not to rotate
00:16:19So what did you do?
00:16:20Pretend that was part of the plan
00:16:22For hiring an improv troupe comes in handy
00:16:26So what show do you have next?
00:16:28We're actually launching a holiday improv show
00:16:31But after that, I'm planning on selling the theater
00:16:35What?
00:16:37But it seems like you love performing
00:16:39Performing, yes
00:16:40Payroll, building maidens, sales
00:16:42Hard no
00:16:45You own your own business, right?
00:16:47I co-own it
00:16:48With my best friend
00:16:49But I'm definitely more of the details person
00:16:53She's the dreamer
00:16:55What brought you to architecture?
00:16:57I love the permanence of it
00:16:59Some buildings have stood for thousands of years
00:17:02Way outlasted the people who built them
00:17:03You want to leave your mark on the world?
00:17:06Yeah, and a building sticks around
00:17:07Which is more than I can say for some people in my life
00:17:10Oh
00:17:11Yeah, um
00:17:13My dad left when I was little
00:17:14But I'm gonna need something stronger for that story
00:17:19You know, if you need any work done on the theater
00:17:23I could recommend some really good contractors
00:17:24Are you gonna try to solve all my problems
00:17:27In the first hour we've met?
00:17:30I'm a people pleaser
00:17:33And let me guess
00:17:34You also have a hard time saying no to your mom
00:17:36Ugh
00:17:36Yeah, this app thing
00:17:38I don't know why she thinks she's going to find my dream guy on an app for parents
00:17:44No offense to present company
00:17:45You seem cool
00:17:46I get it
00:17:47If you knew my mom, she'd think she always knows best
00:17:50Sounds like our moms have a lot in common
00:17:52And you know we're never gonna hear the end of it, right?
00:17:55You think so?
00:17:56I have an insane couple of weeks before Christmas
00:17:58I cannot keep fending off suitors
00:18:04I have a crazy idea
00:18:07We both need our moms off our case until Christmas, right?
00:18:10Yeah, if that's even possible
00:18:13Though my mom did promise if this one didn't work out, she'd lay off
00:18:16You think that's gonna stick?
00:18:18Absolutely not
00:18:19Okay, hear me out
00:18:21What if we pretend to date?
00:18:23At least until December 25th
00:18:27Look, it's up to you, okay?
00:18:29I know we're almost at the end of our hour here
00:18:31But think about it, okay?
00:18:32We don't even have to see each other
00:18:33We just tell people we're dating
00:18:36Though, if you do have a holiday event you need to attend
00:18:39You have a built-in date who's not terrible at dancing
00:18:41Not terrible at dancing
00:18:43Wow, your resume is really impressive
00:18:47Then, after Christmas, we just tell everyone it didn't work out
00:18:51Go our separate ways
00:18:54What do you think?
00:19:00Okay
00:19:01Yeah?
00:19:02Yeah, let's fake date
00:19:03Okay
00:19:14Look at all the fun we have when we work as a team
00:19:17Hey, hey, hey
00:19:18Watch where you point that thing
00:19:20Oh, sorry, sorry
00:19:21Really great work, everybody
00:19:23I will be back later to check on your progress
00:19:34The line for Santa goes in this direction
00:19:38Okay, well you never gave me the layout that I asked you to
00:19:41Too far because you keep saying it's all in your head
00:19:44But what if you get hit by a bus?
00:19:45Are you manifesting?
00:19:47It makes more sense for it to go in that direction
00:19:51Well, it's going to go in this direction
00:19:56Fourteen years
00:19:57Never been a problem
00:20:00That doesn't mean it's right
00:20:02Okay, Miss Bossy Pants
00:20:03I am not
00:20:03R2
00:20:04I'm not
00:20:04R2
00:20:05I'm not
00:20:05R2
00:20:06Just because I had a real job in the real world
00:20:08Excuse me?
00:20:09Being an administrator at the Chamber of Commerce is a real job
00:20:14You know what?
00:20:15If this committee is not for you, why don't you just quit?
00:20:19I will not quit this committee until after the Christmas season
00:20:23Because I am not a quitter
00:20:24Only quitters quit
00:20:25But after that, if I never see you again, it'll be too soon
00:20:29Not if I don't see you first
00:20:31That doesn't make any sense
00:20:33Does too
00:20:33Does not
00:20:34Does too
00:20:34Oh
00:20:37Quitter
00:20:40So, you're not really dating this guy
00:20:42But you're telling your mom that you are?
00:20:44Yes
00:20:46But you said he was cute
00:20:48That's not the point
00:20:49I think that's relevant information
00:20:51You know what's relevant information?
00:20:53That we have three weeks left to submit this project to the architectural review board
00:20:56Yes, uh, speaking of, I spoke with the team at Aprey
00:20:59And they want to remove the coffee shop and put in a restaurant
00:21:03How are we supposed to fit that in the square footage?
00:21:06I did a mock-up
00:21:06It could fit if we remove the gift shop
00:21:10See?
00:21:12Yeah, and we'd have to adjust the check-in desk
00:21:14We could build the kitchen out through here
00:21:16We can still submit it to the review board in the new year
00:21:19Yeah, except new zoning goes into effect January 1st
00:21:22And that would mean a massive square one redesign
00:21:24I'm sure it'll all work out
00:21:25No, things don't just work out
00:21:27They're the result of careful planning
00:21:28And this is our first major client
00:21:30If we don't get this right
00:21:31Then I'll happily set expectations
00:21:33No, I can get this done before we close for the holidays
00:21:37You sure?
00:21:38Mm-hmm
00:21:39All right
00:21:39I just have to start now
00:21:41Okay
00:21:42Good luck
00:21:43Thank you
00:21:50I think I got enough mini trinkets to decorate the model hotel
00:21:54Honey, you got enough to decorate several hotel models
00:21:56I want it to look festive
00:21:58With all the changes to the design
00:22:00I haven't had time to make any of the little figures I normally would
00:22:02Are you going to be able to see Shane again or are you too busy?
00:22:07Oh, yeah, definitely
00:22:09Honey, if he's not your type
00:22:10I will just go back on that app and rustle you up a new guy
00:22:13Not necessary
00:22:14Shane's great
00:22:15We're going to see each other again
00:22:16And we don't need to keep talking about it
00:22:17All right, I'll back off
00:22:19But if you're really into Shane, I need to meet him
00:22:25You don't have to do all this volunteering
00:22:27Well, what else would I do?
00:22:29I don't know
00:22:30I just want to make sure you're okay
00:22:32That this committee is something you want to do
00:22:35And not just filling some void
00:22:38It is what I want to do
00:22:42Okay, I will take your word for it
00:22:45And I want to get some malt wine
00:22:47Okay
00:22:48I love you
00:22:48Love you
00:22:54Thank you
00:22:57I'm here for my shift
00:22:59Well, that means it's time for me to go check out the candy cane selection
00:23:02Okay, bye
00:23:03See ya
00:23:06Just so you know, not quitting the committee
00:23:09Somebody needs to be here to hold some people accountable
00:23:13Since when was Christmas about accountability?
00:23:16We create all of these events
00:23:18So people can experience spontaneous moments of joy
00:23:22When was the last time you had a spontaneous moment of joy?
00:23:25If you're going to be rude, we don't have to talk
00:23:28Oh, we don't even need to sit here together
00:23:31One of us can man the table
00:23:33And the other one can take photos
00:23:34Oh
00:23:35This camera is extremely technical
00:23:36So I should probably
00:23:37No, yes, I'm very familiar with it
00:23:39I worked in a darkroom in college
00:23:41It's digital
00:23:42Smile
00:23:45See ya
00:23:51Thanks for doing this
00:23:53Of course
00:23:54It's the use of having a fake boyfriend
00:23:56If you can't use him to fake out your mom
00:23:57Yeah, I don't think she'd buy it otherwise
00:23:59Here, try this
00:24:02Okay
00:24:06Mmm
00:24:09This is delicious, what is it?
00:24:10Oh, Kifley
00:24:11My grandma used to make them every Christmas
00:24:14Now my mom and I have taken over the tradition
00:24:17Well, mostly my mom
00:24:19I'm a terrible baker
00:24:21Bad at baking?
00:24:23Deal breaker?
00:24:24Guess we should call off our fake dating
00:24:31Ready to sell this?
00:24:33Let's do it
00:24:42Lauren!
00:24:43Mom
00:24:44Oh, hi
00:24:45This must be Shane
00:24:46Hello
00:24:47Hi
00:24:47Shane
00:24:49Shane
00:24:50You know Shane?
00:24:52Um, Kat, Lauren, this is my mother, Barbara
00:24:58Oh, Lauren is your...
00:25:00Oh, no
00:25:02Good time gal
00:25:04I should've known such a silly handle
00:25:05Oh, really?
00:25:06B numbers 99?
00:25:08Oh, Barbara is the new member of the Chamber of Commerce
00:25:12Of course
00:25:12And you didn't realize...
00:25:15Oh
00:25:16Could you excuse us?
00:25:18We have some official Chamber of Commerce business
00:25:21Yes
00:25:21Uh, hot chocolate?
00:25:23Oh, I'd love one
00:25:24I'd love one
00:25:25Great
00:25:29Well, you must be very proud of yourself
00:25:31What are you talking about?
00:25:32Well, that your son landed my daughter
00:25:34You're the one that swiped on him
00:25:35Well, that was before I knew this
00:25:37You know what?
00:25:38That he comes from a good, solid family
00:25:41As opposed to what?
00:25:43Well, it doesn't really matter now
00:25:46The damage is done
00:25:49Ugh
00:25:57Hey, honey
00:25:59I brought you some lunch
00:26:02Thanks
00:26:02You were just in the area?
00:26:04Yeah, I just thought I'd stop by
00:26:06See how you're doing
00:26:07Thanks
00:26:08So, uh
00:26:10How's Lauren?
00:26:12Good
00:26:14Good
00:26:14Good
00:26:17There's not like a, you know
00:26:18Like any kind of a serious commitment thing or anything
00:26:20Is it?
00:26:21Right?
00:26:21Why do you ask?
00:26:23Oh
00:26:23No reason
00:26:24You know, commitment's never really been your thing
00:26:27But
00:26:27If you like this Lauren
00:26:29Then I am
00:26:31Truly overjoyed for you
00:26:32Hmm
00:26:34Having your support means a lot
00:26:36Hmm
00:26:40Love you
00:26:42Love you too
00:26:46Hey, hey, Barbara
00:26:47Oh, hi
00:26:48We always do a secret Santa gift exchange
00:26:50At the last Chamber of Commerce meeting
00:26:51We, uh
00:26:52Have a little potluck
00:26:53And do a little gift swap
00:26:54Oh, well, that sounds like fun
00:26:55Thanks, Doug
00:26:56No problem
00:26:59Oh
00:27:02You have to see this
00:27:04Shane posted a photo with Lauren
00:27:06This is bad
00:27:07Very bad
00:27:09Well, I guess we have to let this relationship run its course
00:27:12Unless we want to go, you know
00:27:15Full sabotage
00:27:16And try to break them up
00:27:21What if we did try to break them up?
00:27:22I mean, they barely know each other
00:27:24Huh
00:27:25I mean, if Shane knew I wanted him to break up with Lauren
00:27:28He'd probably double down and marry her
00:27:30But let's think this through
00:27:32I mean, there's no way that my son is compatible with your daughter
00:27:36Well, there's no way that my daughter is actually compatible with your son
00:27:42I mean, this relationship is going to end in the heartbreak
00:27:45It's just a matter of when
00:27:46So if we do break them up, it's like we're doing them a favor
00:27:48A huge favor
00:27:49They will thank us
00:27:51They'll be so happy
00:27:53Okay
00:27:54Good morning
00:27:59You want to see?
00:28:02That's actually not terrible
00:28:05I'm full of surprises
00:28:09Oh
00:28:10You know, I used to buy my boys a new ornament every year at Christmas
00:28:14Well, then the tree got too full and I had to stop
00:28:16Not that they ever noticed
00:28:19I used to get Lauren a new Santa doll every year
00:28:21And of course, she doesn't like them anymore
00:28:22So they're all at my house and it looks like a Christmas convention
00:28:25I'll bet
00:28:26Have you talked to her about Shane?
00:28:28Shouldn't have one bad thing to say about him
00:28:31Well, it's the beginning of a relationship
00:28:33You know, when everything is magical
00:28:35The other person can do no wrong
00:28:37True
00:28:38But then they will really get to know each other
00:28:40And they're going to see how different they are
00:28:42And then it'll be over
00:28:44You and I could not be more different
00:28:46Oh, agreed
00:28:48All right, well, tell me about Shane
00:28:49What makes him tick?
00:28:50Well, he's very passionate
00:28:51A bit of a free spirit
00:28:53He loves his art
00:28:55The business side, not so much
00:28:57And his theater is in need of a lot of repairs
00:29:00Which between you and me
00:29:01It's not his strong suit
00:29:03I haven't been able to get a Christmas tree yet
00:29:06Because my van is in the shop
00:29:07Well, I'm sorry to hear that
00:29:09But concentrate
00:29:11We have a relationship to break up
00:29:13No, no, go with me
00:29:13I'm working on a plan
00:29:16Does Shane have a big car?
00:29:18Yes, an SUV, why?
00:29:20I am going to ask him and Lauren
00:29:22To help me come and get a tree
00:29:24That's your plan?
00:29:25Because my son is fully capable
00:29:27Of tying a dead plant to a car
00:29:30Just trust me
00:29:31Okay
00:29:32Okay
00:29:36Thank you guys so much for inviting me today
00:29:38I've never been Christmas tree shopping
00:29:40We always had a fake tree growing up
00:29:42Of course, Barbara had a fake tree
00:29:44Mom
00:29:46What?
00:29:46I meant it seemed very put together of her
00:29:49Oh!
00:29:51This is it
00:29:52This is the one
00:29:52It's a bit big, isn't it?
00:29:54No, it's perfect
00:29:56It's a real beaut
00:29:57Okay, well, I'll go get someone to help us
00:29:59No, no, no
00:30:00Shane can do that
00:30:01He can trim it for us
00:30:03Can you, Shane?
00:30:04You've got this big, strong guy
00:30:06You don't need another person
00:30:07Helping you carry that, do you?
00:30:09No, no
00:30:09I guess
00:30:10I guess not
00:30:12Okay, here you go
00:30:13Oh, um, these are
00:30:19What's gotten into you?
00:30:20What?
00:30:21This big, strong guy thing
00:30:23We don't need a man to help us do anything
00:30:25We never have
00:30:26I mean, you always say
00:30:28It's us against the world
00:30:29I was just trying to make him feel included
00:30:31By the way, men love it
00:30:32When you talk to them like this
00:30:34Okay
00:30:34No, no, no, no
00:30:35You're doing it wrong
00:30:37I am?
00:30:38Yes
00:30:39Yeah, I guess I'm
00:30:40Okay, that's enough trimming
00:30:41I think it looks great
00:30:42It looks great like that
00:30:44No, you're right
00:30:47Whoa
00:30:47Is there anything else in there I should know about?
00:30:50Well, I'm sorry
00:30:51I came prepared
00:30:52There you go, champ
00:30:54Wrap it up
00:30:55Thank you
00:30:58Great
00:30:58Um, yeah
00:31:05Haven't gone all day
00:31:07Okay
00:31:08Um, there
00:31:08Uh, uh
00:31:11Try that
00:31:12Again
00:31:15Okay, Shane, just move it away
00:31:17Bring it forward
00:31:18Why is it so sticky in here?
00:31:22Okay, stop
00:31:22Um, how about we just bring it forward
00:31:25And then work together to wrap it?
00:31:28That would make a lot more sense
00:31:30I'm so sorry
00:31:31This is my first time
00:31:32I have no idea what I'm doing
00:31:33It's okay
00:31:37Um
00:31:37All right
00:31:43Okay
00:31:44All right
00:31:44Let's go
00:31:46Oh, um
00:31:48Sorry, I just
00:31:50Um
00:31:51Well, no, that doesn't work
00:31:52I'm just sorry
00:31:58Yep, nope
00:31:59Good
00:32:00Are we done?
00:32:02Are we done?
00:32:03Uh, sure
00:32:03All right
00:32:05Yeah
00:32:06Wow
00:32:07We're terrible at this, aren't we?
00:32:10Yeah, we should probably call somebody
00:32:12To come
00:32:12Help
00:32:17Good thing I'm an architect
00:32:21It's not too tall, right?
00:32:23It's perfect
00:32:24All right
00:32:26Perfect's a bit much
00:32:27We'll trim it a little
00:32:29Okay
00:32:30What was that?
00:32:31I don't know
00:32:32The tree was just settling, right?
00:32:34Trees do that?
00:32:35Uh, I don't
00:32:36No, no, no, no
00:32:38Oh
00:32:39Oh, look
00:32:40It's a little Christmas rat
00:32:42Christmas rat
00:32:43Go get it
00:32:45Me?
00:32:46Yeah
00:32:47Go get it
00:32:49Macho thing
00:32:50Go
00:32:52No
00:32:53Don't
00:32:54Okay
00:32:56He's kind of cute
00:32:57Stop it
00:32:58He's not that cute
00:32:59He's kind of the size
00:33:01You get this
00:33:02Okay, it's not a bowl
00:33:03I know it's not a bowl
00:33:08I can do this
00:33:09But
00:33:10I can marry you
00:33:11Oversized
00:33:12Oversized to me
00:33:13Oh, God
00:33:14Oh, oh
00:33:16Oh, yep
00:33:16Oh, oh, oh
00:33:19He's crawling on my arm
00:33:20Oh, no
00:33:21Go, go, go, go, go
00:33:22Door
00:33:22You will be
00:33:24Bye, bye
00:33:24Forever
00:33:25Bye, forever
00:33:28You okay?
00:33:29Yeah
00:33:30You're a regular
00:33:31Snow White
00:33:32Just wait till you
00:33:33Hear me singing clean
00:33:34Oh
00:33:36I would like to shower now
00:33:43Well, I guess your plan flops
00:33:46Spectacularly
00:33:46Well, have you got a better idea?
00:33:48I do
00:33:49The overbearing mother
00:33:51I've invited Lauren to come see Shane's play
00:33:54And what did Shane say about that?
00:33:55He doesn't know
00:33:56He's gonna hate it if he thinks I'm forcing them to get it
00:33:59Not bad
00:34:00Not bad
00:34:01Mm-hmm
00:34:01So what should I know about Lauren?
00:34:03She's shy
00:34:04Ah
00:34:06Then I could get Shane to invite her up on stage
00:34:09Oh
00:34:09And she's also stubborn
00:34:11She won't go
00:34:11Then he'll think that she doesn't go with the flow
00:34:14And he hates it when people
00:34:15Well, namely me
00:34:16Don't go with the flow
00:34:18Hmm
00:34:18Sounds like you have an A-plus relationship with your son
00:34:21My son and I are fine
00:34:23We can't all be mother-daughter chummy besties
00:34:26Well, I wouldn't say besties
00:34:28She's been work, work, work lately
00:34:30Hmm
00:34:31Except she did carve out a night to attend the theater
00:34:45Hey, thank you for coming
00:34:47Of course, honey
00:34:48You look very festive
00:34:50Thank you
00:34:51I've only got a few minutes, so
00:34:53Oh, Lauren
00:34:54Hi
00:34:55You came
00:34:56I want you to meet my husband, Mark
00:34:58And my adorable son, Aiden
00:35:00His precious husband, Jeff
00:35:02Hi
00:35:03Lovely to meet you all
00:35:04This is Lauren, everyone
00:35:06She's, um, Shane's friend
00:35:08Are we saying friend?
00:35:09Uh, we don't have to label anything
00:35:12Hi
00:35:13Hi
00:35:16I didn't realize you were coming
00:35:18Oh, well, I invited her
00:35:20I might be a little bit of a meddling mom
00:35:23I love my son so much
00:35:25I'm just sort of
00:35:26What did he say?
00:35:27I'm just
00:35:27Oh, he's up in their grills
00:35:29Mom, nobody says that
00:35:31I have to go backstage
00:35:33Jeff, do me a favor
00:35:34Make sure they don't scare her off
00:35:36It's a tall order, but I'll do my best
00:35:38Hey
00:35:38We'll be nice
00:35:40Crickle eggs
00:35:42Oh, hey
00:35:43Honey
00:35:44I had an idea
00:35:46You know how you sometimes bring people up from the audience?
00:35:49What if you ask Lauren to join you?
00:36:01Good evening, everyone
00:36:03Welcome to Brook Lane City Troop Presents
00:36:07A Christmas Carol
00:36:08To start, I need a couple of suggestions from the audience
00:36:12Number one
00:36:13A job that is not an accountant
00:36:16Santa Claus
00:36:18Okay, Santa Claus
00:36:20And now I need a method for delivering information
00:36:24A carrier pigeon
00:36:25I heard carrier pigeon
00:36:30T'was the night before Christmas
00:36:33And all through the room
00:36:35Scrooge was counting his money
00:36:37Cashing checks with his plume
00:36:39He grouched everybody on his naughty list
00:36:42Because surprise!
00:36:44Scrooge is Santa
00:36:46And he ain't giving gifts
00:36:49These confounded elves keep adding people to the nice list
00:36:53Don't they know it's impossible for anyone
00:36:55To be completely nice?
00:36:56Now that night after Scrooge was tucked safe in his bed
00:37:00Visions of sugar plums
00:37:03Knocked out of his head
00:37:05And who should appear right in front of his eyes
00:37:10But his old friend Jay Marley
00:37:12In ghostly surprise
00:37:14Oh no, no, no, no
00:37:17Oh no, honey
00:37:18Maybe she'd just rather not
00:37:19Hey
00:37:21It'll be fun
00:37:22I promise
00:37:26Ladies and gentlemen
00:37:27We have our Marley
00:37:37Now Santa Scrooge was not
00:37:40From his miserly dreams
00:37:42With a scare from old Marley
00:37:44That made the bloke scream
00:37:58Now Scrooge
00:37:59Marley has a message for you
00:38:01Via carrier pigeon
00:38:19A ghost who only communicates via pigeon
00:38:21Classic
00:38:22Well
00:38:23Ghosts of Marley
00:38:25You don't scare me
00:38:30Give it up for Marley
00:38:44You did great
00:38:55What's going on?
00:38:56Where's Santa?
00:38:58Doug said he couldn't take it anymore
00:38:59And ran into the break room
00:39:01And locked the door behind him
00:39:02Yolanda is going to flip out
00:39:04If she finds out Santa has gone AWOL
00:39:06I don't get it
00:39:07This Yolanda
00:39:08You have no trouble pushing back on me
00:39:10Or pushing your daughter around
00:39:11But you're terrified of her
00:39:13She's the boss
00:39:14Do you have a problem
00:39:15With authority figures?
00:39:16Oh my god
00:39:17What are you
00:39:17My therapist now?
00:39:19I'm sorry
00:39:19Just asking a question
00:39:20Here let me
00:39:24Doug
00:39:25Open this door
00:39:26Right now
00:39:27Go away
00:39:33Doug
00:39:33We just want to talk to you
00:39:35We're not going to go away
00:39:36I remember
00:39:37We deploy
00:39:39Christmas joy
00:39:41Well
00:39:41I don't want to talk to you
00:39:47Hey
00:39:48There are a lot of children out here
00:39:50And you are making some of them cry
00:39:53So I want you to come out of there right now
00:39:55No
00:39:56I'm not coming out
00:39:58And that's final
00:39:58Should we call security?
00:40:00No
00:40:00Oh
00:40:01I have an idea
00:40:01Here
00:40:02Help me
00:40:03Where are we going with this?
00:40:04Just tip this
00:40:05Just put it down on the ground
00:40:07Got it?
00:40:08Alright
00:40:08Here we go
00:40:11Oh
00:40:11Okay
00:40:12Come on
00:40:13Ah
00:40:15Ah
00:40:15Oh
00:40:16Oh
00:40:19Merry Christmas
00:40:22Alright stop
00:40:23Okay
00:40:24I just remembered
00:40:25I'm not crazy
00:40:26You do it
00:40:27Okay
00:40:28This one
00:40:28That one
00:40:30Alright
00:40:30Here we go
00:40:36Oh
00:40:37Oh
00:40:39Oh
00:40:40Oh
00:40:40Oh
00:40:41What the
00:40:42Oh
00:40:44Okay
00:40:53Who are you?
00:40:55Catwoman?
00:40:56Pilates
00:40:59I said go away
00:41:01When someone acts like you are
00:41:03Sometimes they're in need of a big hug
00:41:05I'm not in the mood, Kath
00:41:06Look, I get it
00:41:08When you're having a hard time
00:41:09It's not a good idea to push everyone away
00:41:11I
00:41:12I
00:41:13I
00:41:13I can't
00:41:13I can't do this
00:41:15It's too much pressure
00:41:16What if they ask for something
00:41:18Christmas morning comes
00:41:19And they don't get it
00:41:20When you're
00:41:21When I was a kid
00:41:22I asked Santa for a Commander Storm action figure
00:41:25Because all of my friends had one
00:41:27And then Christmas morning came
00:41:29And I got lap locks
00:41:31I
00:41:32I
00:41:32I
00:41:32I was
00:41:32I was so devastated
00:41:34I
00:41:34I
00:41:34I
00:41:35I
00:41:35I
00:41:35I
00:41:35I
00:41:35I can't
00:41:35I can't handle this kind of responsibility, Kath
00:41:38I can't
00:41:39I can't
00:41:39Okay
00:41:40You can
00:41:40You can
00:41:41Deep breath
00:41:43Yes, you can
00:41:44Oh
00:41:45I hear you, buddy
00:41:46When I was six years old
00:41:48I wrote Santa a letter every week
00:41:51All I wanted was a little baker's oven
00:41:53Oh
00:41:53And that Christmas morning
00:41:54I scoured under the tree for the exact size box
00:41:59It wasn't there
00:42:00Oh
00:42:01I was heartbroken
00:42:03But you know what I eventually realized?
00:42:06Christmas joy comes from giving, not receiving
00:42:09She's right
00:42:11And life throws us all curveballs
00:42:13What matters is how you react
00:42:17Now
00:42:17If you can't see these kids
00:42:20I understand
00:42:20But if that's the case
00:42:22I'm gonna need to get inside that suit
00:42:25And what a terrible idea that would be
00:42:27I can do it
00:42:28You can do it
00:42:29I can do it
00:42:29Thank you
00:42:30Both of you
00:42:31Okay
00:42:32Deep breath
00:42:33Go deploy Christmas joy
00:42:36Go get him, Santa
00:42:41Jim is gonna be Santa next year
00:42:43Good idea
00:42:46What is that expression?
00:42:48Teamwork makes the dream work?
00:42:50You know
00:42:50Maybe we've been going about this all wrong
00:42:52What are you talking about?
00:42:53We just solved the problem
00:42:54No, not this problem
00:42:55The Lauren and Shane problem
00:42:57I mean, you tried
00:42:58I tried
00:42:59Maybe we need to work together
00:43:01They're a united front
00:43:03So we need to be a united front
00:43:05Uh-huh
00:43:07Could work
00:43:24Hello?
00:43:25Hey, Danielle
00:43:25Hey, what's going on?
00:43:27So
00:43:27I adjusted
00:43:28The clearance of the walkways
00:43:30In the restaurant
00:43:31But I wanted to go through
00:43:32The numbers with you
00:43:33Um, sure
00:43:34I just need to cancel my date
00:43:35What time is it?
00:43:37Oh, gosh
00:43:38It's getting late
00:43:39I can cancel
00:43:40No, no, no, no, no
00:43:41Are you sure?
00:43:42Yeah, you enjoy your date night
00:43:43Okay
00:43:43Don't stay too late
00:43:44Okay
00:43:44Bye
00:43:47Bye
00:43:57Okay
00:44:10Hey, Aiden
00:44:11Their offer on the building is garbage
00:44:13Do you want to counter again?
00:44:14What are we countering?
00:44:16Nothing
00:44:16Small side thing
00:44:18Okay
00:44:18Uh, I have the company Christmas cards for you to sign
00:44:24Does dad know I'm selling?
00:44:25Because if he knows, then mom knows
00:44:27And if mom knows
00:44:28She's either going to throw me a party
00:44:29Or I'm getting a lecture for no follow-through
00:44:32Nobody knows anything
00:44:33What number do you feel good with?
00:44:40Now, you know what?
00:44:42If they're given a low-ball offer, then sales off
00:44:45Maybe this is the universe trying to tell me
00:44:47I'm not supposed to sell yet
00:44:49Great
00:44:49Except for the part where you
00:44:51Hate repairing the building
00:44:53I'll figure it out
00:44:56I gotta go
00:44:59Hey
00:45:00Hey
00:45:01I was hoping to use my charm to score a ticket
00:45:04Hmm
00:45:05Well, sorry, milady
00:45:07Tonight's show is all sold out
00:45:11But I'm not in tonight's show anyway
00:45:13So maybe we could
00:45:15Take a walk
00:45:16If you're game
00:45:18I am
00:45:20As long as hot cocoa's involved
00:45:22I think that could be arranged
00:45:24So has your cocoa fixation been filled?
00:45:27So filled
00:45:28This is exactly what I was craving
00:45:30Thank you
00:45:33You know anything about the Chamber of Commerce, Krantz?
00:45:36Yeah, sure
00:45:37What about them?
00:45:38I think I might apply for one
00:45:41Use the money to fix up the theater
00:45:43That's great
00:45:45I'd be happy to help
00:45:47Oh, and
00:45:47I know you got a lot in your place
00:45:50It's okay
00:45:50I don't mind
00:45:51You're fun to hang out with
00:45:53You are not too shabby yourself
00:45:56Is this weird?
00:45:58Us hanging out just because
00:46:00It's not weird for me
00:46:01Is it weird for you?
00:46:04Well, it's just that we have this arrangement
00:46:05So I don't know
00:46:06We can
00:46:08We can hang
00:46:08Yeah
00:46:10Just friends hanging out
00:46:14Just friends, yeah
00:46:17Mmm
00:46:19Did you know
00:46:20That Shane
00:46:22Is thinking of selling his theater?
00:46:25Really?
00:46:27And Aiden
00:46:29Is helping him
00:46:30Yeah
00:46:31They thought they were being sneaky
00:46:32But I saw some paperwork at the office
00:46:34Well, when is it going to go through?
00:46:36Hmm
00:46:37Well, he changed his mind
00:46:39Maybe
00:46:40He wants to stick around for Lauren
00:46:43Oh, this Lauren
00:46:45Do you think they're good together?
00:46:48I do
00:46:48Yeah
00:46:49She's nice
00:46:50He's happy
00:46:51What more can we ask for?
00:46:54Hmm
00:46:54I just worry
00:46:55They're from such different backgrounds
00:46:58And he doesn't always know what's best for him
00:47:01Like, why is he holding on to this dysfunctional theater?
00:47:05Well, you gotta trust he knows what he wants
00:47:07Hmm
00:47:09Does he, though?
00:47:12Barbara
00:47:13What is this about?
00:47:16I just
00:47:17Want him to be happy
00:47:29Hello?
00:47:30Oh, are you home?
00:47:32Yes
00:47:32Time for Operation Besties
00:47:36Roger that
00:47:40Oh, is this the Christmas committee scrapbook?
00:47:43Yes
00:47:43I make one every year to commemorate what we did
00:47:46Oh, it's just great
00:47:48You really are the perfect person to run that committee
00:47:51Oh, start
00:47:52Oh
00:47:55Poor little Shane
00:47:56Oh, yeah
00:47:58That was the first time that I took him to see Santa Claus
00:48:02Might have been the beginning of our trust issues
00:48:06Oh, the first time I took Lauren to see Santa
00:48:08She had just eaten a chocolate bar
00:48:10And I thought that I had cleaned her up
00:48:11But she smeared it all over Santa's suit
00:48:14Oh, it was a very expensive dry cleaning bill
00:48:17Plus I had to send it all the way back to the North Pole
00:48:24I'm kidding
00:48:25Oh
00:48:27Wait a minute
00:48:28I have an app
00:48:29It's a baby face generator
00:48:31It shows what it would look like if the two of them had a child
00:48:35Oh, good
00:48:36Golly, what kind of nightmare is that going to dream up?
00:48:40Oh, look
00:48:41Oh, actually, they're so cute
00:48:44So cute
00:48:46Shane's going to hate it, though
00:48:47Oh, Lauren, too
00:48:48Yeah, this could work
00:48:50I'm just worried that they're going to smell something fishy a mile away
00:48:54We've got this
00:48:55Shane is terrified of commitment
00:48:58And if he thinks that we're trying to push the two of them together
00:49:01He will run in the opposite direction
00:49:03Yeah, Lauren's going to hate the surprise of it
00:49:05And not being in control of the situation
00:49:07Plus embarrassing photos
00:49:10It's totally going to throw off her game
00:49:16This is us
00:49:19Thanks for the walk
00:49:21Thanks for taking me to get my car
00:49:23My mom borrowed it for some kind of Santa emergency
00:49:27It's not Christmas without a Santa emergency
00:49:30Yep
00:49:33So, is your mom's van ever going to get out of the shop?
00:49:37Who knows
00:49:42That's my mom's car
00:49:44What's she doing here?
00:49:56Up on the house
00:49:58Stop the reindeer paws
00:50:00Out jumps good old Santa Claus
00:50:03Down through the chimney
00:50:04With lots of toys
00:50:05All for the little one's Christmas joys
00:50:08Ho, ho, ho
00:50:10Who wouldn't go?
00:50:11Ho, ho, ho
00:50:15You two are hanging out?
00:50:18Yeah
00:50:19Well, Kath was telling me about how she and Lauren
00:50:22Have this tradition of Christmas karaoke
00:50:24She's never done Christmas karaoke
00:50:27And since you two are getting so close
00:50:29I thought we'd better exchange Christmas traditions
00:50:32Since someday we're going to be one big happy family
00:50:36I love Christmas traditions
00:50:39You know what else you're going to love?
00:50:41Baby photos
00:50:43Barbara and I made you a scrapbook
00:50:45Because you look so cute together
00:50:47That was really not necessary
00:50:50Oh, you're going to have some darn cute kids
00:50:52Okay, Mom
00:50:55I think I'm going to leave now
00:50:57Wait, I meant to give you my business card
00:51:00Yes
00:51:02You can include it in your grant application
00:51:05Direct them to me if they have any questions about your renovations
00:51:08Grant applications?
00:51:10Renovations?
00:51:11Oh, well
00:51:11Lauren inspired me
00:51:13If I really loved the theater
00:51:15I had to put my whole heart into it
00:51:17Go all in to make it work
00:51:19That's wonderful, honey
00:51:20It really is
00:51:24You know what I brought?
00:51:25For us to watch
00:51:27Your junior high performance of The Nutcracker
00:51:31Actually, we maybe should partake in some of the Christmas karaoke action
00:51:34Oh, Lauren doesn't like singing in front of other people
00:51:37I could maybe try a duet
00:51:41Yeah, great, great
00:51:42That's, uh
00:51:43Um, oh
00:51:45Uh, wait, microphone
00:51:47Okay, what do we got?
00:51:54Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
00:51:59Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
00:52:05Hey!
00:52:07You're a natural
00:52:14Thank you for coming to help
00:52:16No problem
00:52:18Dad always wants to help with the toy drive
00:52:21But his gifts look like they were wrapped by a crazy raccoon
00:52:25Deranged woodland creatures aren't the wrapping vibe you were going for
00:52:28I'll see myself out
00:52:32So, I hear you had fun last night with Lauren
00:52:37Wow, the gossip train never ends in this family
00:52:40So, is it serious?
00:52:44I don't know
00:52:45No, no, don't do this
00:52:47Do not sabotage a good thing because you are commitment-phobic, okay?
00:52:52Okay, it's not that, it's just
00:52:56Can I tell you a secret?
00:52:58Of course
00:52:59It's not real
00:53:02Lauren and I have been pretending to date over the holidays to keep our moms off our backs
00:53:06What?
00:53:08So, you're saying you don't really like her?
00:53:11I mean, that's the problem
00:53:13I think I kind of do
00:53:15I just don't know if she feels the same way
00:53:19Well, um, call me crazy, but there's a way that you could find out
00:53:24You could ask her
00:53:25Oh, uh
00:53:27Look, for somebody who makes himself vulnerable on stage every night
00:53:30It wouldn't kill you to channel a little bit of that into your personal life
00:53:34What if I come on too strong?
00:53:37Just start small
00:53:38Something to let her know that you're thinking about her
00:53:52Hey
00:53:53Hey
00:53:56I know you're busy, but I brought you some of those cookies you like from the holiday market
00:54:00The ones my grandma used to make?
00:54:02Yeah
00:54:03Thank you, Mo, I needed this
00:54:07Um, I'll let you get back to it
00:54:09No
00:54:09Stay for a minute
00:54:11Have one with me
00:54:12Sure
00:54:15How's the building coming along?
00:54:18Uh, I don't know
00:54:19Honestly, I'm
00:54:21Trying to give them what they want
00:54:23But they keep changing their minds
00:54:26Sounds like they don't know what they want
00:54:27Yeah, sounds like it
00:54:30Well, then you decide
00:54:32Show them something they didn't even know they needed
00:54:36You did all this?
00:54:38Yep
00:54:41This is amazing
00:54:44Thank you
00:54:46How's your grant coming along?
00:54:49Uh, you know, it's a lot of paperwork
00:54:54Yep
00:54:55But it'll be worth it
00:54:56It's kind of like
00:54:57When you go on a really tough hike
00:54:59But then you reach the view at the top
00:55:02The effort is part of the experience
00:55:06You have a knack for making the mundane and boring sound almost magical
00:55:11Almost
00:55:12Well, it's the life of an architect
00:55:15It's kind of how all that
00:55:16Turns into that
00:55:18And then turns into this
00:55:22To your business
00:55:28To your theater
00:55:30Oh, wow
00:55:31The sugar is white
00:55:33It's delicious
00:55:34Mmm
00:55:36Mmm
00:55:37So good
00:55:40Really?
00:55:45What's going on?
00:55:46They don't have a record of us reserving the hall for the dance
00:55:49But I know we paid for it
00:55:51Give me a minute
00:55:52Um, could you hold, please?
00:55:57Got it
00:56:00Hello
00:56:01To whom am I speaking?
00:56:03Hi, Gerald
00:56:04Yes, we paid for the reservation in June
00:56:07June 13th to be exact
00:56:08Yes, the reference number is 1A350
00:56:12Uh-huh
00:56:12Might want to straighten out those books
00:56:15Well, no worries
00:56:16We'll see you then
00:56:17Thank you
00:56:19That was all in your spreadsheet?
00:56:21Mm-hmm
00:56:23I digitized and uploaded all of the receipts
00:56:26And then I hyperlinked them to the budget line items
00:56:28It's like magic
00:56:29Thank you
00:56:31You're welcome
00:56:34Hey, Mom
00:56:34Oh, hi, honey
00:56:35Oh, you are my savior
00:56:38Thank you for bringing this
00:56:39I can't believe I forgot it
00:56:40Well, you have a lot going on
00:56:42Have you talked to your brother?
00:56:44Yes
00:56:46About Lauren?
00:56:48Mother
00:56:48You have to stop with all of this meddling
00:56:51He is a grown man
00:56:52I know that
00:56:52I just want my sons to be happy
00:56:56Listen, I know that retirement may not be the easiest thing for you
00:57:00Why does everybody keep saying that?
00:57:02I am just fine
00:57:03Okay, great
00:57:04But you're making Shane do crazy things
00:57:07Like this thing with Lauren
00:57:08What are you talking about?
00:57:11Forget I said anything
00:57:12No, you said something
00:57:14So I can't forget you said anything
00:57:15What about him and Lauren?
00:57:17Come on, spill the beans
00:57:18Okay, well
00:57:19Um
00:57:20Shane told me
00:57:21That he was just pretending to date Lauren
00:57:24To get you off of his back
00:57:26It's not real, Mom
00:57:28But you didn't hear that from me
00:57:31I'll see you tonight
00:57:32Okay
00:57:40Jolly old St. Nicholas
00:57:43Lean your ear this way
00:57:45Don't you tell a single soul
00:57:48What I'm going to say
00:57:50Christmas Eve is fine
00:57:52Love, Trolley Caroling
00:57:54I think this is the best event you guys do
00:57:56We'll save you some seats
00:57:58Okay
00:57:58See you guys
00:58:01Yeah, it is time to go
00:58:03Our events can't all start as late as your Christmas committee meetings
00:58:06Oh, sorry about that
00:58:08It's okay
00:58:09Chop, chop
00:58:12Lauren isn't here yet
00:58:14Well, we'll just have to tell Yolanda to wait
00:58:16I can't do that
00:58:17One of these days you're going to have to stand up to her
00:58:20Or she'll never take you seriously
00:58:23Oh, gosh
00:58:39And then we're going to try skiing after
00:58:41Wait
00:59:00Oh, Christmas tree
00:59:03Oh, Christmas tree
00:59:06How lovely are your branches
00:59:11Tell me
00:59:12Truly
00:59:13Why can't you stand up to Yolanda?
00:59:17After I got divorced, I really needed a job
00:59:20And she gave me one
00:59:21I guess I'm just afraid that I'm going to say something that will upset her
00:59:24And then she can fire me
00:59:25It's not good to live in fear
00:59:27And you're such a tremendous asset to the chamber
00:59:30I think she might surprise you
00:59:32And you might surprise yourself
00:59:34Okay
00:59:34Well, right now, we have to focus on Lauren and Shane
00:59:38Okay
00:59:38I put off telling you this because I don't know how to say it
00:59:42But my son Aiden told me
00:59:46That Shane is just pretending to date Lauren
00:59:48To get me off his back
00:59:50What?
00:59:52Oh, she's going to be devastated
00:59:55I'm going to kill him
00:59:56No, no, no
00:59:57Before we commit any felonies
00:59:59What if you can get Lauren to end it?
01:00:02So if she walks away, there's no heartbreak
01:00:06I'm going to talk to Lauren
01:00:07Good
01:00:09I'm really glad you came
01:00:11Me too
01:00:13Sorry I was almost late
01:00:14I have a hard time taking a break from work
01:00:16You know, you can set boundaries
01:00:19Say no
01:00:21That terrifies me
01:00:23Why?
01:00:25I don't know
01:00:26I guess ever since I was a little kid
01:00:28I always wanted to be the best at everything
01:00:32So
01:00:33I got into this habit
01:00:35Of trying to be perfect at the expense of everything else
01:00:39Call me a perfectionist
01:00:42I promise you all that stress isn't worth it
01:00:45Otherwise, one day you might wake up
01:00:47And find your whole life has passed you by
01:00:51You're right
01:00:55And
01:00:56In the spirit of that
01:00:59What do you think about going to the Christmas ball
01:01:02Together
01:01:05I will be honored
01:01:06Me lady
01:01:09I know it's not really in line with our whole
01:01:12Fake date arrangement
01:01:14But I
01:01:15I don't know
01:01:16I just
01:01:18I'm going to level with you
01:01:22I've had more fun pretending to date you than
01:01:24I ever have actually dating anyone for real
01:01:27And I know that it's
01:01:28Not a part of our agreement
01:01:30But
01:01:31What if we just stopped the whole fake part of this fake dating arrangement
01:01:35And
01:01:36Actually did it for real
01:01:41I don't know
01:01:41I mean, my work is crazy
01:01:43And
01:01:44I'm really bad at
01:01:46Boundaries and
01:01:48Prioritizing my social life
01:01:49I
01:01:49I mean, you'd go crazy trying to date me
01:01:52I don't
01:01:53Forget
01:01:53I said anything
01:01:58But
01:01:58Every part of me wants to
01:02:01Try
01:02:05So let's say
01:02:09Yes
01:02:18Jingle bells, jingle bells
01:02:21Jingle all the way
01:02:24Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
01:02:28Hey!
01:02:37I don't think you should see Shane anymore
01:02:39What are you talking about?
01:02:41Well, Barbara told me some things about him
01:02:43Barbara?
01:02:44Who you hate?
01:02:46I don't hate her
01:02:47But
01:02:48He's not a good guy
01:02:50Why?
01:02:53Honey, can you please just trust me
01:02:54I don't want you to get hurt
01:02:58You've been all about me dating
01:02:59And now that I am
01:03:00You don't want me to get hurt?
01:03:02Well
01:03:02Well, I don't think he's being up front with you
01:03:05Mom
01:03:06I love you
01:03:07But I've been trying to tell you this whole time
01:03:09It's my life
01:03:10I can handle it
01:03:11Well, excuse me for wanting to be a part of it
01:03:13I mean, can't a mom want her daughter to be happy?
01:03:16Of course
01:03:16But maybe one way for me to be happy
01:03:18Is to not have you on my case all the time
01:03:21Stop using me as an excuse to ignore your own life
01:03:24I am not
01:03:25Then how about you live your very fulfilled life
01:03:28And I'll live mine
01:03:29And you can please stay out of my business
01:03:35Wait
01:03:36Mom, I
01:03:42Please, have a cinnamon roll
01:03:50I'm trying out new recipes for Christmas morning
01:03:54Carbs are the last thing that I need right now
01:03:57Carbs are exactly what I need right now
01:03:58Oh, I completely understand
01:04:02Lauren is so mad at me
01:04:05It's just that I put too much effort into her
01:04:07And not enough into myself
01:04:09Well, she's not wrong
01:04:10Okay, well, it doesn't make it easy to hear
01:04:12Well, you don't have to listen to me
01:04:14I'm not exactly the queen of parenting advice
01:04:18Maybe if you were, like, a tad more vulnerable
01:04:24That's just not my style
01:04:25Okay, but that still doesn't solve the problem
01:04:27Shane is going to break Lauren's heart
01:04:29I mean, I tried telling her, but she wouldn't listen to me
01:04:34Well, it's time for me to talk to her
01:04:38Coming for me, she'll have to believe it
01:04:48Hey, hey
01:04:49I just emailed you
01:04:51They came back with a fair offer
01:04:52Yeah, I saw it
01:04:54That is a lot of
01:04:55Oh, my
01:04:56Money
01:04:57Yeah
01:04:58You could buy a house
01:05:00Travel the world twice over
01:05:03Or you could stay and fix it up
01:05:06I don't know anything about construction
01:05:08And I don't think this grant is going to cover hiring someone
01:05:11Okay, is this about your handyman skills
01:05:13Or about staying for Lauren?
01:05:15I have to sell it, right?
01:05:17I can't change my plans for a girl I just met
01:05:19But do you want to?
01:05:31Hey
01:05:32Hey
01:05:32Hey
01:05:34So the client wants to have the coffee shop back in the lobby
01:05:37With the restaurant
01:05:40Seriously?
01:05:41Yes
01:05:42But tell me
01:05:43If it's too much to do before the pitch
01:05:44I can push back
01:05:45Tell them it's not possible before the timeline
01:05:47Look, think about it
01:05:49Let me know
01:06:08Gang
01:06:09We did it again
01:06:10We deployed Christmas joy
01:06:12Another
01:06:13Successful
01:06:15Season
01:06:16Couldn't have done it without you, Barbara
01:06:18Oh, oh, no
01:06:19I'm sure you could have
01:06:20Ah, you're part of us now
01:06:22Group hug
01:06:23Oh, oh
01:06:24Stop
01:06:25Oh
01:06:42How are you?
01:06:43How are you?
01:06:44Good
01:06:50Cut loose
01:06:51Have some fun
01:06:52This is a great party
01:06:53Uh-huh
01:07:00This is about shame
01:07:01Honey, you have got to stop worrying about him
01:07:04Without my job, what am I?
01:07:06A wife
01:07:07A mom
01:07:08You just want to make sure that my children are okay
01:07:12Hey, is that so wrong?
01:07:14Is that so wrong?
01:07:14No, it's not wrong
01:07:16Your job does not define you
01:07:17Okay, and neither does being a wife or a mom
01:07:19You're all those things and the person you are
01:07:26I decided I decided I don't want to take care of her
01:07:28Oh, excuse me
01:07:28Oh, excuse me
01:07:35Barbara
01:07:35Hi
01:07:36Hi
01:07:36Hi
01:07:36I need to talk to you
01:07:38Okay
01:07:41I'm afraid that Shane might be using you to get back at me
01:07:45Using me
01:07:47Using me
01:07:48Pretending to date you
01:07:52Oh
01:07:53Yeah
01:07:54About that
01:07:56Wait
01:07:56You knew?
01:07:58Yes
01:07:58We were both pretending to date each other
01:08:01Both of you
01:08:02Well, we knew you and my mom wanted to set us up
01:08:05So we decided to pretend to date until Christmas
01:08:08Just by some time
01:08:10But I don't know
01:08:12I guess then we really fell for each other
01:08:15So we're going to try to make it work
01:08:18Lucy, do you really think it can work?
01:08:20I mean, you're both so different
01:08:22And now that Shane's selling his theater
01:08:24It's
01:08:24He's selling his theater?
01:08:26Hey, everything okay?
01:08:28Hey, yeah
01:08:29Your mom just told me you decided to sell your theater
01:08:36I was going to tell you
01:08:38Oh, gosh
01:08:39I assumed you knew
01:08:40Mom, can you not?
01:08:41I'm sorry
01:08:42I was worried
01:08:43I was trying to help
01:08:44Just stop
01:08:45Just stop trying to help
01:08:46You're unbelievable
01:08:48Sweetheart
01:08:48You must be upset
01:08:49I mean
01:08:50We were just trying to end it before it went too far
01:08:52You tried to what?
01:08:54Well, honey
01:08:54We knew it was never going to work
01:08:55I mean, you're so driven
01:08:56And he's an actor
01:08:58Excuse me?
01:08:59You set us up
01:09:00Well, that was before I knew he was playing you
01:09:03He wasn't
01:09:04We
01:09:06You know what?
01:09:07I can't with this right now
01:09:11Shane, it's been fun, really
01:09:12But this is just too much
01:09:14I can't date right now
01:09:16Pretend or otherwise
01:09:17Not with all this drama
01:09:19You and your mom
01:09:20Clearly can't communicate
01:09:21And it's pretty obvious
01:09:23I can't trust mine
01:09:26Good luck with everything
01:09:28I have to get back to work
01:09:30Lauren
01:09:31No, seriously
01:09:32I have a lot to do, Shane
01:09:39Why did you get involved?
01:09:41I thought it was the right thing to do
01:09:43Contrary to popular belief
01:09:45You don't always know the right thing to do
01:09:52Wait
01:09:54He wasn't playing her?
01:09:55Lauren was in on the rooms
01:09:58So they actually like each other?
01:10:00I guess so
01:10:01It seems like it
01:10:02Why did I ever listen to you?
01:10:04You started it
01:10:05What?
01:10:06Lauren and I had a great relationship before this
01:10:08Oh, really?
01:10:09Because it seems to me like she's got her own thing going
01:10:12And you are clinging on for dear life
01:10:15What?
01:10:15Unlike you who forces yourself into Shane's life
01:10:19Because you have got nothing else to do
01:10:21Nothing else to do
01:10:23Except rescue this Christmas committee
01:10:25From utter chaos and disorganization
01:10:27We were doing just fine before you
01:10:30You think so
01:10:31Because you have no idea
01:10:31How anything in the real world works
01:10:33Kat
01:10:35What's going on here?
01:10:37Yolanda, you know that I love the Christmas committee
01:10:40Would do anything for the Chamber of Commerce
01:10:42But I cannot continue working with Barbara
01:10:45If she stays, I go
01:10:46Are you seriously going to make her choose between us?
01:10:50Kat
01:10:51Obviously we can't lose you
01:10:53But
01:10:54I couldn't possibly choose between
01:10:56Oh no, you don't have to
01:10:58I quit
01:11:16You wanted to see me
01:11:19Yes
01:11:20Yolanda, I want to talk to you about my role moving forward
01:11:24You're not trying to quit again, are you?
01:11:25No
01:11:26I love working here
01:11:27Okay
01:11:28But I'm not your assistant anymore
01:11:30And I have my own way of doing things
01:11:33Of course you do
01:11:34Kat
01:11:34You are extremely valuable to the Chamber of Commerce
01:11:36And I'm sorry I keep treating you like my assistant
01:11:39You were my right hand for forever
01:11:40And I forget sometimes
01:11:43But of course you should run the committee however you see fit
01:11:46I couldn't do this without you
01:11:48I know
01:11:51Happy Secret Santa Day
01:11:53Who's been nice?
01:11:55Barbara wanted me to drop off this Secret Santa gift
01:11:58It's for you
01:11:58Is she not joining us?
01:12:00Uh, no
01:12:01She's not
01:12:02Open that
01:12:23Yeah, honey
01:12:29Have you talked to Shane?
01:12:31No
01:12:33Go ahead and say it
01:12:34You were right
01:12:35I should never have meddled in his life
01:12:38Well, I want everyone to be happy
01:12:41Especially you
01:12:42And
01:12:44It seems like
01:12:45After the stress of
01:12:47You being newly retired
01:12:49Hanging out with Kath
01:12:51Made you happy
01:12:51Oh, please
01:12:53I was pretty happy
01:12:54Before I ever laid eyes on that woman
01:13:05What are you doing here?
01:13:07Mark said you wanted to talk to me
01:13:09It was the only way I was going to get the two of you in the same room
01:13:15Okay, well, I don't want to waste your time
01:13:19Kath, hang on
01:13:22Okay, so
01:13:23Maybe I don't know much
01:13:24But
01:13:25It seemed to me
01:13:26That Shane and Lauren
01:13:28Were good together
01:13:29And maybe
01:13:30Just maybe
01:13:32You two
01:13:33Liked hanging out
01:13:34With each other
01:13:35So you
01:13:36Kept plotting
01:13:37Even though
01:13:37Maybe there wasn't so much to plot about
01:13:40We're their mothers
01:13:41We know them better than
01:13:42Anyone else
01:13:43She's right
01:13:45Or
01:13:46Maybe you just think you do
01:13:49Look
01:13:49Whatever happens with the two of you
01:13:52You need to make things better
01:13:54Between
01:13:55Shane and Lauren
01:13:56I mean, I think you owe them that
01:14:01I'm sorry
01:14:01I was so upset
01:14:03But I never meant for it to be a me or you situation
01:14:06Oh, I'm sorry, too
01:14:08And you're not terrible at your job
01:14:11Oh, well, if you're trying to make me feel better
01:14:13No, I'm not
01:14:14I mean it
01:14:16Everyone on that committee
01:14:17Loves you
01:14:19I wish our kids felt the same way about us
01:14:21I don't think they're even speaking to each other
01:14:25I think that we can fix this
01:14:28One last medal?
01:14:30Mm-hmm
01:14:33This is not what I meant
01:14:34Ladies, please
01:14:36No more meddling
01:14:40We pride ourselves on giving the client what they've asked for
01:14:43But having designed this lobby multiple ways
01:14:46I believe adding a coffee shop in addition to a restaurant
01:14:49Will leave the space feeling cluttered
01:14:51Now, we're supposed to submit to the city's architectural review board later today
01:14:56We'd like to submit this design as is
01:14:59But if you feel strongly about the coffee shop
01:15:01We can postpone until the new year
01:15:13We agree
01:15:14We love the restaurant and this design
01:15:17So, um, as presented today
01:15:20We appreciate all the work you've done to get here
01:15:23Thank you
01:15:24Thank you
01:15:25Hopefully it hasn't ruined your Christmas
01:15:27No
01:15:28Not at all
01:15:29It's been great
01:15:34We did it
01:15:35We did it
01:15:39I wanted to say thank you
01:15:42For what?
01:15:43You gave the presentation
01:15:44I know
01:15:45But you really helped me see that we are better when we put our minds together
01:15:50Good news?
01:15:55Mom, why are you here?
01:15:56Well, honey, it's your big presentation day
01:15:58And I wanted to support you
01:15:59You haven't returned any of my phone calls
01:16:01Yeah, I've been busy
01:16:02Uh, the email to the review board is written and ready to go
01:16:06I'll go send that
01:16:08Nice seeing you
01:16:13Honey, I want to apologize
01:16:15I'm sorry
01:16:17I'm sorry that I meddled
01:16:18I'm sorry that I tried to fix you up
01:16:19I'm sorry that I tried to break you up
01:16:22I'm sorry because at the end of the day
01:16:24The only thing I want
01:16:26Is for you to be happy
01:16:31Mom
01:16:34I know
01:16:36You're my best friend
01:16:38I just need to figure out the whole life thing for myself
01:16:45I know, you're right
01:16:47I love you
01:16:48I love you too
01:16:51Do you have time to come with me right now?
01:16:54There's somewhere that we have to be
01:16:56Where are we going?
01:16:57Mom?
01:16:58I thought we said no
01:16:59Okay
01:17:00Hey, can you check the wiring on the light up there?
01:17:02It's been flicking for a while
01:17:03Oh, and can you walk the stage?
01:17:05There's a few cracks that need filling in with black paint
01:17:07Thank you so much
01:17:20Hey
01:17:20Hey
01:17:23Aiden told me you decided not to sell
01:17:25Yeah
01:17:28After a lot of back and forth
01:17:29Maybe
01:17:30Too much
01:17:31Back and forth
01:17:34I want to see it through
01:17:37After all that
01:17:39You decided to stay
01:17:42I feel like I've been running from things my whole life
01:17:45Mom, and yeah
01:17:46This place needs
01:17:48A lot of work
01:17:50But some friends offered to help me with the construction
01:17:53Well, I think
01:17:55It's the right choice
01:17:58You do?
01:17:59Yes
01:18:00I do
01:18:02Because you made it
01:18:04You've always taken risks
01:18:06Made the adventurous choices
01:18:08I
01:18:08I truly am impressed
01:18:16You know, you impress me too
01:18:18Me?
01:18:20I do
01:18:21Yeah
01:18:23You're so sure of your job, your goals
01:18:27And now watching you navigate the unknowns of retirement
01:18:33It's inspiring
01:18:38I'm sorry
01:18:39I've been so hard on you
01:18:43You tackle life
01:18:44In a way that scares me
01:18:47That I am learning
01:18:49That sometimes it is good to be scared
01:18:52Because it's taking me out of my comfort zone
01:18:58Thank you
01:19:00Now, I know you didn't come all the way down here just to tell me that
01:19:03Uh, you know me too well
01:19:04I need you to do me a favor
01:19:08Always
01:19:14Mom, what's
01:19:16Just trust your mother
01:19:21And
01:19:21Here
01:19:24What's going on?
01:19:25We know we got way too involved
01:19:27From setting you up
01:19:28To breaking you up
01:19:29And we're very, very sorry
01:19:31Only you know what's right for your lives
01:19:34Are you hearing what I'm hearing?
01:19:36I think I just heard my mom apologize
01:19:40We're done meddling
01:19:41And, uh, we're gonna go
01:19:54I should have...
01:19:59You go
01:20:01I'm not selling in theater
01:20:03I was tempted for a moment because it's gonna be a lot of work to fix it
01:20:09But some things are worth fighting for
01:20:12Look, I've always gravitated towards the fun things
01:20:15In work, in relationships
01:20:17And every time it gets hard
01:20:18I...
01:20:20I move on to something new
01:20:23But seeing how much dedication you put into your work
01:20:26Pushing through difficulties
01:20:27Because you love something
01:20:29It...
01:20:31It made me realize that maybe I'm missing out on some things by cutting and running
01:20:37Some things like
01:20:41Square dancing, obviously
01:20:46Obviously
01:20:49You know
01:20:50There is such a thing as working too hard
01:20:55Oh
01:20:57Is there?
01:21:00Yeah
01:21:00This guy I fake dated
01:21:02Made me realize I might have been using work as an excuse to ignore other important things in life
01:21:08Well, he sounds really smart
01:21:10Oh, he's so smart
01:21:14I might keep him around
01:21:15If he's interested
01:21:18I think he might be
01:21:36I guess your spreadsheets are out of my hair till next Christmas
01:21:39Uh, except that I did volunteer for the Valentine's Committee
01:21:43Are you trying to be the death of me, Barbara Harrison?
01:21:45I just can't stand the idea of you filling yet another shoebox with receipts
01:21:50I thought you'd like to challenge
01:21:51Well, maybe I do
01:21:54You know, if you and Lauren don't have plans for Christmas
01:21:58You should come over
01:22:00I'll check our very busy schedule
01:22:02Ah
01:22:03Oh, I think we're free
01:22:06Excellent
01:22:10This is fake
01:22:11It actually doesn't look horrible
01:22:13Well, there's a whole fluffing process that makes it look more natural
01:22:17Oh
01:22:17A fluffing process
01:22:21I told Yolanda that we will be back the first week of January, starting up again
01:22:25You told her?
01:22:27Yeah
01:22:27Absolutely no pushback
01:22:29Oh
01:22:29Oh, I'm going to miss the first meeting
01:22:31I'm going to a silent retreat
01:22:34She's finally easing into retirement
01:22:36I'm dipping a toe in love
01:22:40Well, where is this place? I hope it's somewhere sunny
01:22:42Oh, no
01:22:43I don't do sun
01:22:44What are you?
01:22:46A witch?
01:22:47Catwoman
01:22:47Remember?
01:22:51Okay
01:22:51Who is ready to sing?
01:22:54Heard a lot about this Christmas karaoke
01:23:00Merry Christmas
01:23:01Merry Christmas to you too
01:23:06We wish you a Merry Christmas
01:23:10We wish you a Merry Christmas
01:23:12We wish you a Merry Christmas
01:23:15And a Happy New Year
01:23:18Good tidings we bring
01:23:21To you and your kin
01:23:24Good tidings for Christmas
01:23:27And a Happy New Year
01:23:33The snow is falling
01:23:36Christmas shopping
01:23:38There's holly and mistletoe
01:23:42The lights are shining
01:23:45The perfect timing
01:23:47But you don't want me
01:23:49From the cold
01:23:53It's Christmas time again
01:23:56We can start playing
01:23:59The day
01:24:01Happy New Year
01:24:01The belle
01:24:01Hope
01:24:01You
01:24:02Can't
01:24:03You
01:24:03Can't
01:24:03Can't
