00:00:08Snow is falling and love's all around
00:00:12Happy couple seem all over town and high
00:00:19I've been looking for someone to hold me tight
00:00:24Keep me warm throughout these winter nights
00:00:30Here, you help
00:00:36You must have got that from your mother
00:00:39She knew how to do everything just right
00:00:41She was perfect
00:00:43And so are you
00:00:44In my eyes
00:00:47So, you ready for the show?
00:00:50You're as ready as I'll ever be
00:00:53Hey guys, how you doing?
00:00:55You must be Patrick
00:00:56Yeah, hi, hi
00:00:56Hey, you must be Nicole
00:00:58Hi, nice to meet you
00:00:59How you doing? I'm your host, Everett
00:01:00If you guys want to follow me over here, we're about ready to start, okay?
00:01:03Come on down
00:01:13The guy literally flirted with the waitress all night
00:01:17You're kidding
00:01:18No opening up doors or pulling out chairs
00:01:22Chivalry is dead, Amy
00:01:23I don't know why I even bother
00:01:25Lori, the right guy's out there for you
00:01:28I'm beginning to doubt that
00:01:29Whoa, whoa, watch out
00:01:31I'm sorry
00:01:34People here are so busy trying to get from one place to the next, they don't even pay attention
00:01:38Well, it's big city life for you
00:01:39You need a break
00:01:41The long hours at work are honestly starting to do me in
00:01:45I hope Jason approves my time off request for Christmas
00:01:49Me too
00:01:49I gotta go
00:01:51My mom's at work
00:01:51See you later
00:01:53Okay, bye
00:01:58Yes, yes
00:01:59Here's the star of our show, guys
00:02:03You got this, Dad
00:02:06Thanks
00:02:06Hey, Nicole, thanks for submitting that audition tape, by the way
00:02:10Yeah, of course
00:02:10Hey, if you want, you can go ahead and have a seat
00:02:12We're about ready to start
00:02:13Great, thank you
00:02:15Yes
00:02:16Now, the most important thing is
00:02:19Just be yourself, okay?
00:02:20I'm a little nervous
00:02:21Don't be, you got this
00:02:23You'll be fine
00:02:24You'll be fine, just relax
00:02:26Hi, Tyler
00:02:33Hey, Lori
00:02:34Hi
00:02:35Aw
00:02:36Thank you so much for the flowers after my surgery
00:02:39Sure
00:02:39I'm so glad it went well
00:02:41Me too
00:02:42But seriously
00:02:43I really meant a lot
00:02:44You do so much for everybody around here
00:02:46I don't know about that, but thanks
00:02:48Yeah, I know we both asked for time off before Christmas
00:02:51And actually, I'm going to change my days to after Christmas
00:02:54Just to make sure you get approved
00:02:57Fran, you didn't need to do that
00:02:59Yes, I did
00:02:59I've had plenty of time off
00:03:01And Merry Christmas
00:03:02Thank you so much
00:03:04Yeah, of course
00:03:06Ah, we better get back to work
00:03:12Dad, that was so great
00:03:13You did an awesome job
00:03:15Oh, really?
00:03:16Yeah
00:03:17I looked over at one point and your eyes were closed
00:03:19Sorry
00:03:20I was up late trying to get word out on social media
00:03:23For the boutique's Christmas sale
00:03:25Ah, is your Aunt Jenny working you too much?
00:03:27No, not at all
00:03:28But she does want me to create a
00:03:30Or find someone to help create a website
00:03:32I thought it was doing fine with the word of mouth
00:03:37Dad, times have changed
00:03:38Every business needs a website
00:03:40Can you do it?
00:03:42That's not my thing
00:03:44I'm sure you'll figure it out
00:03:47Look, let's make snow angels
00:03:52Come on, Dad, make one with me
00:03:54You used to love to make those with your mother
00:03:57Remember what she used to say?
00:03:59When there's snow, make snow angels
00:04:05Look, I caught one
00:04:12Make a wish
00:04:17What did you wish for?
00:04:20I wished for you to find someone to love
00:04:23Just someone to make you happy again
00:04:26Dad, it's been three years
00:04:28You used to love Christmas
00:04:30Yeah, well, I love you
00:04:32I love you too
00:04:36But be prepared for the possibility
00:04:38That when the show airs this Friday
00:04:40A bunch of women are going to come here and meet you
00:04:43Yeah, right
00:04:44A cooking show and me
00:04:46Yeah
00:04:46Yeah
00:04:48Wait a minute
00:04:50Is that why you submitted my audition?
00:04:54Let's get home
00:04:56Young lady
00:05:10Hey
00:05:11Hey, I'm getting ready to leave
00:05:13You want to make Christmas cookies tonight?
00:05:16Of course
00:05:17Great, see you soon
00:05:18Bye
00:05:25Our New York City client isn't happy with the new homepage
00:05:29Jason, they what?
00:05:31But I thought they approved it
00:05:33They've changed their mind
00:05:34We need to scrap it and start all over
00:05:39Okay, well
00:05:41I need it first thing tomorrow
00:05:45But figure it out, Lori
00:05:50It's your job
00:06:01Hey
00:06:03How was work?
00:06:05Don't ask
00:06:07Do you want to help?
00:06:09Too exhausted
00:06:10I can't even see straight from staring at a screen all day
00:06:13I know that you make good money
00:06:16But that job is not worth all this
00:06:18You need to enjoy your life
00:06:20And think about maybe finding someone special
00:06:22I wish I could find what you and Mike have
00:06:25I feel like I'm in a rut
00:06:27Like I'm having some sort of midlife crisis
00:06:29You're too young to have a midlife crisis
00:06:31You're too young to have a midlife crisis
00:06:32This job feels like it's aged me
00:06:36Well, why don't you go into business for yourself like you've always talked about
00:06:40I can't
00:06:40Why not?
00:06:42You can work from home
00:06:43Or anywhere
00:06:44Where?
00:06:44My PJs
00:06:46In a cute little town with no traffic
00:06:51Where everyone knows your name
00:06:53Okay
00:06:54But seriously, you're the one who said that you should love what you do
00:06:57I do love what I do
00:07:00I just
00:07:03Don't know if I love the company I'm working for anymore
00:07:08But you're getting married
00:07:10I want to help with the wedding
00:07:12You don't have to do that
00:07:13You've already done so much for me
00:07:14You're my little sister
00:07:17Yeah, but you need to take care of yourself
00:07:19I mean, ever since mom passed away
00:07:21You've always taken care of me
00:07:23I was happy to take care of you
00:07:26I know
00:07:28But I'm good now
00:07:30And you deserve a break
00:07:34Oh, Fran dropped her request for vacation next week
00:07:38So I should get my requested time off approved
00:07:41Yay
00:07:41Wish I could be here with you
00:07:43Don't worry about it
00:07:45Go have fun
00:07:46I'm gonna enjoy this time off
00:07:57Hey, Laurie
00:07:59I'm not really liking the stuff at the top of the website
00:08:04You mean the navigation?
00:08:06Couldn't we have it scroll down or something?
00:08:09We could, but it's best to keep it mobile friendly
00:08:11I was hoping it could look like this
00:08:16Only different
00:08:19Different in what way?
00:08:20I don't know
00:08:22But I bet you'll figure it out
00:08:24Oh, and I need it by tomorrow afternoon
00:08:28I also need the biotech website finished before Christmas
00:08:32Unfortunately, that won't be possible
00:08:34It's my Christmas vacation tomorrow
00:08:37You approved it?
00:08:38Oh, I know
00:08:39But given our numerous deadlines
00:08:41I can't let you leave now
00:08:45But it's my vacation
00:08:46I haven't had one in ages
00:08:50I know
00:08:56Bummer
00:09:02If you're not gonna let me take
00:09:03My desperately needed vacation
00:09:06I guess I'm just gonna have to take a permanent one
00:09:08A permanent one?
00:09:12Hey, quit
00:09:16Oh, wait
00:09:17You can't quit
00:09:21What will I do?
00:09:23I don't know
00:09:23But I bet you'll figure it out
00:09:32Merry Christmas
00:09:42You okay?
00:09:44I know this will sound crazy, but
00:09:47I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders
00:09:50It makes sense
00:09:54Oh, wow
00:09:56I haven't seen this in years
00:09:58This is still one of my favorites
00:10:00Mine too
00:10:01Remember how much fun we used to have making snow angels?
00:10:05What did mom always say?
00:10:07When life gives you snow
00:10:08Make snow angels
00:10:12Well, maybe now that you're between jobs
00:10:15You can catch up on some reading
00:10:19Or watch some of my favorite shows
00:10:22Speaking of, best unknown chef is on
00:10:29The fact that a cooking show is your favorite is hilarious
00:10:33I mean, when I was a kid
00:10:35I used to think burnt grilled cheese was normal for the longest time
00:10:39I tried
00:10:47Today's best unknown chef is Patrick Jacob
00:10:50A whittled firefighter from Hudson, Wisconsin
00:10:53Patrick, where did you learn to cook?
00:10:55Uh, Rose and I
00:10:57That's my wife
00:10:58We were both working crazy hours
00:11:00And we had a young daughter at home
00:11:02So I just started cooking dinners at home
00:11:05You know, to help out
00:11:06And then I started cooking for the guys at the station
00:11:09You know, and it was fun
00:11:10Just coming up with new dishes, new recipes
00:11:13Hey, that's cool, man
00:11:14I don't know
00:11:15The dishes weren't so good at the start
00:11:18They got better over time
00:11:20Hey, it sounds like you're a natural talent
00:11:22When it comes to cooking, though
00:11:23I'm not sure about that
00:11:25I really, I learned a lot from Rose
00:11:28And then, you know, when she passed
00:11:30I kept cooking dinner for my daughter, Nicole
00:11:32And the guys at the station
00:11:34Actually, to tell you the truth
00:11:37I feel most like myself when I'm cooking
00:11:39We've heard you've been doing great work around the community
00:11:42Yeah, especially this time of year
00:11:44You know, we do a big toy drive down at the fire station
00:11:47We also have Santa's reading
00:11:48Where Santa comes in and he reads to the kids
00:11:51And then on Christmas Eve
00:11:52I like to do something special for the guys
00:11:54So I cook them a big meal for them
00:11:55And their families just as a way to, you know, just say thank you
00:11:58And, you know, give back to them
00:11:59Man, that's amazing
00:12:00Why can't I find a guy like that?
00:12:02Because you're always too busy to try
00:12:04We're at a fire station
00:12:05I learned you can get Caldway at any time
00:12:07So we need popcorn
00:12:08Best to put something on simmer and crock pot
00:12:11Let it sit for a while
00:12:12So today we are going to cook my amazing beef stew
00:12:16Hey, that sounds good
00:12:18Hey, let's get these aprons running
00:12:20Let's get to cooking
00:12:21Okay, all right
00:12:48You take some a ride?
00:12:49You're welcome
00:12:51What's going on here?
00:12:53They're here for you
00:12:54No way
00:12:55Yes way
00:12:57Maybe you should drop me off at home, babe
00:13:00Okay
00:13:10Okay, sorry, I gotta go to work
00:13:13Sorry, ladies
00:13:13Bye
00:13:22Hey, here's the man of the hour
00:13:24Oh, man
00:13:25Guys, I'm so sorry about this
00:13:27I had no idea
00:13:28Hey, look
00:13:29They have been camped out at the station
00:13:30All night
00:13:32That's crazy
00:13:33On the plus side
00:13:34There are a bunch of sweets in the break room
00:13:36Cookies, chocolate, cupcakes
00:13:38Hey, all in an attempt
00:13:39To win your heart
00:13:43Very funny, very funny
00:13:44Are you guys ready for your Monday check-in?
00:13:46Absolutely
00:13:47All right, look
00:13:48Christmas is going to be here before we know it
00:13:50And we got to figure out who's doing what
00:13:51Who is going to be doing the Santa reading?
00:13:54Oh, I can
00:13:55Unless
00:13:56You guys want to
00:13:58No
00:13:58Look, you
00:14:00I'm not my thing anymore
00:14:01I'm happy to hand you the torch
00:14:02Yes
00:14:03Besides, I should be focusing on my Christmas Eve dinner
00:14:05All right, now we got that out of the way
00:14:07Let's go through our truck checklist
00:14:09Absolutely
00:14:14Come here, kiddo
00:14:16Lexi, play Christmas music
00:14:21Lexi, play jazz
00:14:24Lexi, play Christmas music
00:14:27Lexi, play jazz
00:14:30Lexi, play Christmas music
00:14:33I said we got mail
00:14:35Can you believe it?
00:14:37I mean, who even writes letters anymore?
00:14:40Hmm
00:14:43Are you going to go out with any of these ladies?
00:14:45Nick, come on, will you drop it?
00:14:48Dad, come on
00:14:50What if you miss out on something really great?
00:14:53I had something great
00:14:55With your mom
00:14:59Look, this one's a foodie
00:15:01And she cooks too
00:15:03You two have so much in common
00:15:04What about her?
00:15:06Will you stop bugging me if I do?
00:15:09Fine
00:15:09One
00:15:10One date
00:15:11Cool
00:15:11I have a good feeling about this one
00:15:14I got the Christmas decorations out
00:15:23Lexi, play jazz
00:15:38What are you doing?
00:15:40Nothing
00:15:41Looking for a new job?
00:15:43Yeah
00:15:44Uh, I think I'm going to take some time off
00:15:47Before I jump back in
00:15:49Good idea
00:15:57You know
00:15:59I hear Hudson's beautiful this time of year
00:16:02I saw you looking it up on your computer
00:16:05What?
00:16:05That Patrick guy really got to you, huh?
00:16:11I can't seem to get him out of my head
00:16:13It's like I feel this pull towards him
00:16:17Is that crazy?
00:16:18Actually, it's not
00:16:20I mean, he seems like a nice guy
00:16:23In Hudson's a cute little small town
00:16:25With a slower pace
00:16:27Probably exactly what you need right now
00:16:29Actually, I have something for you
00:16:33What's this?
00:16:34An early Christmas present
00:16:35Open it
00:16:39A reservation for a bed and breakfast in Hudson?
00:16:42It is so cute
00:16:44They just had a last minute cancellation
00:16:46Plus, I just
00:16:47I don't want you to be here by yourself
00:16:48When we're at Mike's parents' place
00:16:50I
00:16:52I don't know what to say
00:16:55Thank you
00:17:04You're going to have the best time
00:17:09So sweet
00:17:15I am so glad you chose me
00:17:17Well, actually, it was my...
00:17:19You know what?
00:17:19We have so much in common
00:17:22I love to cook
00:17:23Oh
00:17:25What's your signature dish?
00:17:27Oh, I guess I don't really have a signature dish
00:17:32Yeah
00:17:34Mine's chili
00:17:34I'm known for my chili
00:17:36Cool
00:17:37I have a little secret ingredient that just takes it right over the top
00:17:42I'm not really a soup person, but sounds good
00:17:45Yeah
00:17:48Chili's not soup
00:17:50Have you made chili?
00:17:53Oh, yeah, absolutely
00:17:55I mean, everyone has their special recipe, right?
00:18:00Yeah?
00:18:00Yeah
00:18:00What's your secret recipe?
00:18:05Meat
00:18:06I use beans
00:18:08And tomato soup
00:18:11You know, salt and pepper
00:18:12All the usual stuff
00:18:13But what is your special recipe?
00:18:17Well, I don't use tomato soup
00:18:20Um...
00:18:22Um...
00:18:23Counting
00:18:23You're, uh...
00:18:24You're an accountant, right?
00:18:26Yeah
00:18:26Yeah, I mean, you know, it pays the bills
00:18:29You don't, um...
00:18:30You don't like counting?
00:18:32I get so sick of just staring at numbers all day
00:18:36Wow
00:18:37I...
00:18:38I always thought people should do what they love, you know?
00:18:41I mean, find something that you're passionate about
00:18:44You don't love your work, do you?
00:18:47I mean, protecting the city that I love?
00:18:51Yeah
00:18:51Actually, I do love it
00:18:56Um...
00:18:56So I'm gluten-free and dairy-free and sugar-free
00:18:59So we might need to ask for a different menu or something
00:19:04Should we get a drink?
00:19:06Or two?
00:19:09This is silly!
00:19:14It's too late for a refund
00:19:19Besides, it's just a vacation
00:19:22If you run into him, great
00:19:23If not
00:19:25Then you can just get the R&R that you need
00:19:30Right
00:19:31Just a vacation
00:19:35Oh, and bring this
00:19:39Oh, and bring thisView to me
00:19:56She's good
00:19:56Okay
00:20:40Thanks.
00:20:43Can you believe how many women came to see you?
00:20:47You're a high commodity.
00:20:57Hello.
00:20:58Have you heard a word I said?
00:21:00Yeah, of course.
00:21:01I need some of your hot chocolate.
00:21:12I wish this vacation would lead to a new life and love.
00:21:23Dad, tell me, how was your date?
00:21:26My date?
00:21:27My date was terrible, actually.
00:21:28We had nothing in common.
00:21:30She was a foodie.
00:21:32Yeah, I don't think that she was completely forthright with me.
00:21:35I mean, honesty, honesty is a foundation of trust.
00:21:37And trust is the most important part of a relationship.
00:21:40Can we pick someone else?
00:21:42Nick, I am not going out on any more dates.
00:21:44Period.
00:21:45But what if we-
00:21:46You said you'd stop bugging me.
00:21:48Stop bugging me.
00:21:49You have fun at work.
00:21:53And I'll see you later, all right?
00:21:54Love you.
00:21:55Hi.
00:22:23He's not here.
00:22:24We should try La Rue Marche.
00:22:27That's the boutique his sister owns.
00:22:29That's a great idea.
00:22:30Yeah, let's go there.
00:22:30Let's go.
00:22:35Hi.
00:22:51Hi.
00:22:53I'm Lori.
00:22:55I have a reservation.
00:22:59This place is beautiful.
00:23:01Why, thank you.
00:23:02You're lucky we had a cancellation.
00:23:05Especially with all those women who flocked to town to meet our local firefighter, Patrick Jacob.
00:23:09I feel very lucky.
00:23:10Sometimes things are just meant to be.
00:23:14Your room is upstairs.
00:23:16First door on the right.
00:23:19Enjoy your stay.
00:23:30You should have seen all the women.
00:23:33But you're one in a million.
00:23:35This was a stupid idea.
00:23:37Listen, you're already there.
00:23:38You might as well make the best of it.
00:23:40You're right.
00:23:42I am going to get Patrick Jacob out of my head and just enjoy my vacation.
00:23:48This place is really cute and seems like the perfect place to unwind.
00:23:53That's the spirit?
00:23:54I'll call you later.
00:23:56I'm going to go for a walk and get some fresh air.

00:29:19Look, I told you, okay?
00:29:20I am not going to go out with anyone who gave up everything to come here and meet me after
00:29:24seeing me on this show.
00:29:25I mean, who in their right mind would do something like that?
00:29:29I mean, if I do meet someone, I don't want to do it the old-fashioned way.
00:29:33Like I'm jogging through the park and then just happen to run through their snow angel or something.
00:29:40Oh, sorry.
00:29:41Let me help you with that.
00:29:44There's no angel lady.
00:29:49I'm Patrick, local firefighter.
00:29:52And chef.
00:29:54Nice to meet you.
00:29:56Lori, website designer.
00:30:00You got a nice firm handshake.
00:30:02You know they say...
00:30:04You can tell a lot about a person from a handshake.
00:30:08Wait, you do websites?
00:30:10I hear.
00:30:11What a coincidence.
00:30:12We're looking for someone to create a website for our store.
00:30:15Aren't we Aunt Jenny?
00:30:17Oh, yes.
00:30:18We definitely need to find someone.
00:30:20You think you could create a website for the boutique?
00:30:23Look, Nick, she's on her vacation.
00:30:24She doesn't want to work on her vacation.
00:30:26Actually, I love my work, so I don't mind.
00:30:29My dad always says you should love your work.
00:30:33I could put together an estimate and bring it in, say, tomorrow?
00:30:37That would be awesome.
00:30:39Lori, this is my daughter, Nicole.
00:30:42Nick, nice to meet you.
00:30:43You too.
00:30:44And this is my Aunt Jenny.
00:30:46Hi.
00:30:46Nice to meet you, Lori.
00:30:47You too.
00:30:48Shall I ring that up for you?
00:30:50Oh, yes.
00:31:13Here you go.
00:31:14See you tomorrow.
00:31:15Bye.
00:31:15Bye.
00:31:16Bye.
00:31:19She seems nice and cute, too.
00:31:24Guess we'll be seeing a lot more of her.
00:31:26It's funny how fate works, isn't it?
00:31:28Hmm.
00:31:31We're broadcasting live from the Hudson Fire Station
00:31:34as it's the kickoff to the annual Toy Drive.
00:31:36And tomorrow night, we've got the tree lighting ceremony
00:31:39as things are getting downright festive in downtown Hudson.
00:31:42Now, what's different this year is that tons of women
00:31:44have flocked to our small town
00:31:46to try to meet local firefighter Patrick Jacob
00:31:48after he was featured on an episode of The Unknown Chef.
00:31:52Seems like love is in the air this Christmas,
00:31:54so we'll keep an eye on this developing story.
00:31:58I was thinking of creating more of a blog type of site.
00:32:01That way, when you get new items,
00:32:03you can post pictures and mention any sales
00:32:06or specials going on.
00:32:07Yeah.
00:32:08That's awesome.
00:32:09I want it to be easy for both of you to update.
00:32:11Easy works for me.
00:32:13You know, you're really good at what you do.
00:32:16Thanks.
00:32:19Chase, hi.
00:32:20Sorry, is it a bad time?
00:32:22No, Chase, this is Lori.
00:32:24She's helping us create a website.
00:32:25Nice to meet you.
00:32:26It's nice to meet you, too.
00:32:28Um, what are you doing here?
00:32:29Jenny already said you picked up your gift.
00:32:31Yeah, I did, but I need a Christmas gift for my aunt.
00:32:34I didn't know you had an aunt.
00:32:37What about a necklace?
00:32:38Sure, yeah.
00:32:39What do you recommend?
00:32:45This one is my favorite.
00:32:48It's pretty.
00:32:49I'll take it.
00:32:50Do you want me to gift...
00:32:51Yes, please.
00:32:52Okay.
00:32:54Um, you can just come back later and pick it up.
00:32:57Cool.
00:32:57I'll see you later, then.
00:32:59Okay.
00:33:00Bye.
00:33:00See ya.
00:33:04He seemed nice.
00:33:06He is.
00:33:07We've been friends for forever.
00:33:09Just friends?
00:33:11What do you think of these logos?
00:33:16I love that one.
00:33:30Dad, what are you doing here?
00:33:32I, you know, just came by to see how everybody's doing.
00:33:37Why don't you two go for a walk?
00:33:40It's a beautiful day outside, and Lori's been sitting all day.
00:33:43She needs to stretch her legs.
00:33:45That's a great idea.
00:33:46Look, I didn't come by to interrupt.
00:33:48I'm...
00:33:48Yeah, I have a lot of work to do here still.
00:33:50You can definitely use a breather.
00:33:52Yes.
00:33:53You two.
00:33:54Go on.
00:33:55And take your time.
00:33:57You sure?
00:33:58Yes.
00:33:58Go.
00:33:59Go on.
00:34:13It's not every day that I get to run through town with Sansa.
00:34:17No?
00:34:20Think anyone's going to recognize me like this?
00:34:26Have you ever seen a show?
00:34:28It's a cooking show.
00:34:30Called, um, Best Unknown Chef.
00:34:34Okay.
00:34:35Well, I was on that show.
00:34:38And it's...
00:34:39It sounds crazy, but there's tons of women who came here to town just to meet me.
00:34:45Because I was on that show.
00:34:46I mean, can you believe that?
00:34:47So, that's why...
00:34:49Santa.
00:34:51No.
00:34:52I'm weird.
00:34:54Oh.
00:34:55Yeah, Nicole.
00:34:56You know, she, um...
00:34:57She actually set me up on a date with one of them.
00:35:01It was terrible.
00:35:03Terrible.
00:35:04I've had my share of dating horror stories as well.
00:35:08Yeah.
00:35:09Oh, God.
00:35:10She told me that she was a foodie.
00:35:12You know, she loved to cook.
00:35:13But I talked to her.
00:35:14She did not know the first thing about cooking.
00:35:17I got the sense that she wasn't being completely honest with me, let me tell you.
00:35:22I think we're all just trying to find love.
00:35:25Yeah.
00:35:28So, how about you?
00:35:31You, uh, you're married.
00:35:32You know, any kids?
00:35:33Uh, never married and no kids.
00:35:39Though I helped, um, raise my little sister after my mom died.
00:35:45If that counts.
00:35:48So...
00:35:49Yeah.
00:35:51Wow, that must have been really tough.
00:35:54You're losing your mom and then...
00:35:56I mean, to raise your sister.
00:35:58That's, um...
00:35:59That's a big sacrifice.
00:36:02I didn't feel like one.
00:36:04I'd do anything for family.
00:36:07Yeah.
00:36:09Family's everything.
00:36:15Wanna go down by the park?
00:36:17A few less people down there.
00:36:19Yeah.
00:36:22So, websites.
00:36:24Do you love making websites?
00:36:25I do.
00:36:26I just didn't love the company I worked for anymore.
00:36:31So, I quit.
00:36:33I'm planning on looking for another job.
00:36:35But I wanted to wait until after Christmas.
00:36:41Though my dream has always been to start my own business.
00:36:45Helping small companies grow.
00:36:47You should do that.
00:36:48You should.
00:36:49You're never gonna achieve your dream.
00:36:51Unless you take a chance.
00:36:53Yeah.
00:36:54What about you?
00:36:56Do you love being a firefighter?
00:36:58I do.
00:36:59I love it.
00:37:01But I am finding it a little harder to keep up with the young guys.
00:37:05It looks like you're in good shape.
00:37:07I mean, not that I was looking.
00:37:10Well, we're a small station, so everyone needs to be able to pull their weight.
00:37:14Literally.
00:37:17And what you do is so honorable and commendable.
00:37:20I'm curious, though.
00:37:22What would you do if you were in a firefighter?
00:37:24I don't know.
00:37:25I'd probably still work at the station doing administrative stuff, you know.
00:37:30I'd give up my salary, of course, so they could hire a younger guy.
00:37:34Wow.
00:37:35That's a sacrifice.
00:37:37No.
00:37:37Not really.
00:37:38And those guys, you know, they're like family, Nicole and I.
00:37:42They were really, you know, there for us when we lost my mind.
00:37:47It's my way of giving back.
00:37:50Look, I don't know what I would do.
00:37:52I bet you could have a career as a chef.
00:37:55I could make you a website.
00:38:01There's something you should know.
00:38:08It's the station.
00:38:09I got to go back, but I'll walk you.
00:38:12Oh, no.
00:38:13I can get back on my own.
00:38:15No, no, look, it's not an emergency.
00:38:17They just, they just need me back.
00:38:19Besides, I'm not going to leave you stranded.
00:38:24Okay.
00:38:31That wasn't very long.
00:38:33Ah, the station called, so, um, which I probably should go.
00:38:37Wait, Dad.
00:38:38Uh, why don't you take Lori to the tree lighting ceremony?
00:38:42Since she's not from around here, it might be nice for her to see.
00:38:45That's a great idea.
00:38:47You know that I have to cook for the Christmas Eve dinner tonight,
00:38:51and I thought you were going to help me.
00:38:52I just, I have so much to do around here.
00:38:54Right, Aunt Jenny?
00:38:55Oh, yeah.
00:38:56It's our busiest time of year.
00:38:58Maybe Lori can help?
00:39:00I can burn water.
00:39:02There's a lot of prep work to do, though, right?
00:39:05Yeah.
00:39:06You'd really be helping me out if you could help.
00:39:09I'd be happy to help.
00:39:12Okay.
00:39:13That, that would be great.
00:39:14Great.
00:39:15It's a date.
00:39:17Hey, Mikey, I really do got to know.
00:39:20Yeah.
00:39:21I should get back to work.
00:39:23Okay.
00:39:29You sure it's okay that I pulled you away from the website?
00:39:33Yeah, of course.
00:39:34I love Christmas and everything about it.
00:39:37Yeah, after my mom passed, my dad just sort of stopped celebrating Christmas.
00:39:43The holidays can be hard, especially when you lose someone you love.
00:39:48I lost my mom when I was around your age.
00:39:52Really?
00:39:53I made it my mission to take care of my younger sister.
00:39:56Just like how you take care of your dad.
00:40:00But sometimes that meant I put off doing the things I wanted to do the most because I was
00:40:05so busy taking care of her.
00:40:07Your sister's really lucky to have you.
00:40:09And your dad is lucky to have you, too.
00:40:15So, what about that Chase guy?
00:40:18What about him?
00:40:20It's pretty clear he likes you.
00:40:22We're just friends.
00:40:23I think he'd like it to be more.
00:40:25And it seems like you do, too.
00:40:29Plus, he's cute, right?
00:40:32Do you really think he likes me?
00:40:35Hey, I was wondering, since you're in town, if you wanted me to show you around?
00:40:40I'd like that.
00:40:51Hey, Dad.
00:40:54What are you doing?
00:40:55I thought you had too much work.
00:40:57I took a break to come check on you.
00:41:00Are you wearing cologne?
00:41:03Is it too much?
00:41:04It's too much.
00:41:07I was thinking that you should invite Laurie to the Christmas parade tomorrow night?
00:41:11And maybe it's the Christmas reunion of Santa?
00:41:14Oh, Nick.
00:41:15Nick, I know what you're doing.
00:41:17Oh, look at that time.
00:41:19Gotta get back to work.
00:41:20Have fun on your date tonight.
00:41:21It's a work date, okay?
00:41:24It's not a date.
00:41:29Sounds like everything is going perfect.
00:41:31Why are you nervous?
00:41:33I have to tell him the reason why I'm here.
00:41:36I'm worried about how he'll take it.
00:41:39He said no one in their right mind would come to meet him after seeing him on a TV show.
00:41:45But still, I have to tell him.
00:41:49Fate works in mysterious ways.
00:41:52Oh.
00:42:18Hey.
00:42:19Hi.
00:42:19Come on in.
00:42:21Oh, here I am.
00:42:22Ready to work.
00:42:24Great.
00:42:24Can I take your coat?
00:42:26Yeah.
00:42:30Yeah.
00:42:31Oh, your home is beautiful.
00:42:33Oh, thanks.
00:42:34Come on in.
00:42:39You haven't finished decorating your tree yet?
00:42:42That's next thing.
00:42:43Not mine, but, um, should we get started?
00:42:47Yeah.
00:42:47All right.
00:42:53All right, now that our hands are clean, we can start cooking.
00:42:57We are going to make my famous firehouse chili.
00:43:01I love chili, especially in the winter.
00:43:04Yeah, I like to make it in advance, and then I'll freeze it and reheat it on Christmas Eve.
00:43:10Makes sense.
00:43:12Do you have a Christmassy one?
00:43:14What?
00:43:15We're prepping for Christmas dinner, right?
00:43:17Yeah.
00:43:18I think that Nick has one in there.
00:43:19Let me get it for you.
00:43:23Yep.
00:43:25Oh, here.
00:43:26Let me help you.
00:43:27You want me to tie it?
00:43:30Oh.
00:43:30Yeah, just turn it around.
00:43:32Sure.
00:43:34It's not too tight, is it?
00:43:36No, it's good.
00:43:40Okay, uh, we're going to start with the vegetables.
00:43:42Why don't you cut the tomatoes?
00:43:50I can't cook whatsoever.
00:43:53I'm more of a baker.
00:43:55I love making Christmas cookies.
00:43:57It's our annual tradition.
00:44:00I don't bake.
00:44:01Nick likes to bake.
00:44:03When we were little, my sister and I used to bake with our mom.
00:44:09We continued to bake after she passed.
00:44:11I know she appreciated that I kept a lot of her mom's traditions alive.
00:44:20All right, I'm coming in.
00:44:22Get an onion.
00:44:25From the refrigerator?
00:44:27Yeah, it's supposed to, I don't know, keep you from tearing up.
00:44:32Does that work?
00:44:33Nope.
00:44:34Cry every time.
00:44:38Whoa, hey, easy.
00:44:39You're going to cut yourself.
00:44:41Let me, let me show you how to do it.
00:44:43Hold the knife out here.
00:44:44Yeah.
00:44:45It's your hand.
00:44:46Keep your fingers out there in a nice, even strokes.
00:44:51Just like that.
00:45:01Oh, when we, um, get to the broth, I'm going to have to blindfold you.
00:45:05Well, I don't want you to know what my secret ingredient is.
00:45:08What?
00:45:10You think I'll steal your secret recipe?
00:45:14No.
00:45:16I trust you.
00:45:23Patrick, there's something I need to tell you.
00:45:25I, uh...
00:45:26Oh, gosh.
00:45:28Oh!
00:45:28Let me see that.
00:45:29Oh.
00:45:30Oh, no.
00:45:30I told you.
00:45:33How bad is it.
00:45:34I'm such a klutz.
00:45:35Let's see.
00:45:37It's like it broke the skin.
00:45:42I think you'll be okay.
00:45:44I could, um, put a page on it if you want, though.
00:45:49No, I think it's okay.
00:45:54Okay.
00:46:05All right.
00:46:07What do you think?
00:46:11This is the best chili ever.
00:46:13You're just saying that.
00:46:14No, seriously.
00:46:15You could sell this.
00:46:17Well, actually, I mean, I always did dream of having a food truck.
00:46:20Really?
00:46:21Why don't you?
00:46:23Yeah.
00:46:24It's never too late.
00:46:26You'll never forget your dreams if you don't take a chance.
00:46:30Touche.
00:46:32You know, we could still make it to the Christmas tree lighting if you'd like to go.
00:46:37I'd love to.
00:46:44Shall we?
00:46:45Yeah.
00:46:46Yeah.
00:46:48Ready, everyone?
00:46:5310, 9, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8.
00:46:56I think you guys are going to root that.
00:46:58I'm so sorry.
00:46:59I'm so glad we didn't miss it.
00:47:20Thank you for taking me to the tree lighting.
00:47:23I'm glad you got to see it.
00:47:26Did you enjoy it?
00:47:28Yeah.
00:47:29Yeah, I did.
00:47:32Patrick.
00:47:32Guess what?
00:47:34What?
00:47:34I asked Chase to go on the trolley with me tomorrow.
00:47:37You did?
00:47:37Yeah.
00:47:38I mean, I've always had a crush on him, but I was too afraid to ask him out.
00:47:42But then he sat by the store, walked me to the tree lighting, so I did it, and he said
00:47:45yes.
00:47:45That was a mouthful.
00:47:47I knew it!
00:47:50Hold on a date? You can't go on a date. You are my baby girl.
00:47:54Dad, I'm 18.
00:47:55He's a nice guy with a nice, firm handshake.
00:47:59Look, you and Laurie should come with us.
00:48:01Charlie?
00:48:02I mean, it's pretty special. You should definitely experience that.
00:48:07I'd love to.
00:48:09Come on, let's go look at more of the lights.
00:48:21I take it you had a good night?
00:48:23Yeah.
00:48:25The best.
00:48:26Yeah.
00:48:30I just love this little town.
00:48:37He took me to the tree lighting.
00:48:39Did you tell him why you're there?
00:48:42No.
00:48:43I keep trying, but every time I do, something happens.
00:48:46Well, keep trying.
00:48:48I will.
00:49:02Wow.
00:49:03This is so cool.
00:49:05I know, right?
00:49:06I mean, it's a great way to see the lights.
00:49:09For a small town here, it seems to be a lot to do.
00:49:11There is, um, snowshoeing, ice fishing.
00:49:15Slotting, ice skating.
00:49:16And hockey.
00:49:17You know, Nick over here used to play.
00:49:19So did Chase.
00:49:21Oh, that's right.
00:49:22All I remember is Chase.
00:49:23Go, Nick!
00:49:26You know, my dad actually taught me how to play hockey.
00:49:29Yeah?
00:49:29You played hockey?
00:49:30I did. I did, back in the day.
00:49:32He was good. He's being modest.
00:49:34Wow, if I lived here, I'd be in good shape.
00:49:37You look like you're in good shape.
00:49:38Not that I'm looking.
00:49:43Hey, maybe after this we can go back and decorate the Christmas tree?
00:49:47That'd be fun.
00:49:48But only if your dad is up for it.
00:49:52Uh...
00:49:53Yeah.
00:49:54Yeah, that would be great.
00:49:56Let's do it.
00:50:08I know we had some cocoa earlier, but, you know, you can't decorate without it, so...
00:50:13Looks good.
00:50:16It's the right Chase couldn't join us.
00:50:18It's fine. He warned me that his grandma was coming in.
00:50:21And we do have our date tomorrow at the Christmas parade.
00:50:25Oh! There you go.
00:50:26How exciting!
00:50:27You guys are gonna have so much fun.
00:50:30Hey, Dad.
00:50:31Do you wanna help decorate?
00:50:34No, I'm good.
00:50:41You get this one.
00:50:43Naughty.
00:50:44How come I get the naughty hat?
00:50:47Alright.
00:50:48I will help.
00:50:50Alright.
00:50:52Here.
00:51:06You know what?
00:51:07I think you've earned this.
00:51:16See?
00:51:19You know what? Let me take a picture of you two.
00:51:21Yeah.
00:51:22Sure.
00:51:23Alrighty.
00:51:25Alrighty.
00:51:25Alright.
00:51:26One.
00:51:27Two.
00:51:28Three.
00:51:29Oh, beautiful.
00:51:30Here, come on. Get in it with us.
00:51:31Yeah, yeah, come here.
00:51:32Okay.
00:51:33And this one is for you.
00:51:35Oh, well, thank you.
00:51:40There you go.
00:51:41How's it look?
00:51:42Perfect.
00:51:43It looks perfect.
00:51:44Alrighty, you guys.
00:51:46One.
00:51:47Two.
00:51:48Three.
00:51:50I love it.
00:51:51Me too.
00:51:54I love it.
00:52:00I love it.
00:52:01I love it.
00:52:01I love it.
00:52:01I don't want nothing melancholy.
00:52:04Just a little eggnog and holly.
00:52:06On this holiday with you.
00:52:12So hurry up, don't keep me waiting.
00:52:15I'm in the mood for celebrating.
00:52:17Just want a holiday for two.
00:52:20You look so cute.
00:52:21Thanks.
00:52:23Perfect.
00:52:24You're a natural.
00:52:26Hey.
00:52:27What are you guys doing here?
00:52:29Well, Lori told me all she used to bake Christmas cookies, so I invited her to the station
00:52:33to help me make some cookies for the guys.
00:52:36That was very thoughtful of you, sweetie.
00:52:38Thanks.
00:52:38I thought so, too.
00:52:40You want to help?
00:52:41Sure.
00:52:42What do I do?
00:52:43Um, you can help with the icing.
00:52:44Okay.
00:52:45Uh, where should we go?
00:52:47Go right here.
00:52:48Got a little tire right there.
00:52:50Is that right?
00:52:51Um, kind of.
00:52:52Yeah, like that.
00:52:53Exactly.
00:52:54Thank you very much.
00:52:55Thank you very much.
00:52:55Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:52:56We're getting bombed here.
00:52:58Oh, wait a second.
00:52:59Oh, no, no, no.
00:53:00Wait a second.
00:53:01Ah!
00:53:02Hey!
00:53:08Guys, we got some food and some cookies for you.
00:53:12Come on over.
00:53:13Oh.
00:53:14Uh, I want to introduce you to Lori, Steven, John.
00:53:18Oh, we met Lori.
00:53:20Lori, you should come to the Christmas Parade tonight.
00:53:22I'd love to.
00:53:23That's a great idea.
00:53:24Me and Chase are going.
00:53:26We can all go together.
00:53:28That is a great idea, man.
00:53:29Yeah.
00:53:30Well, we should get going.
00:53:32I still have a special present I need to wrap.
00:53:36Nice to meet you.
00:53:37Good to see you.
00:53:37Bye.
00:53:41There you go.
00:53:42Okay.
00:53:43Appreciate it.
00:53:44Yeah.
00:53:46So, guys, remember how I used to always talk about wanting to have a food truck?
00:53:50Yeah.
00:53:51I've been kicking the idea around again.
00:53:53I think you should go for it.
00:53:54Yeah?
00:53:55I think, you know, when Nick goes off to college, that'd be a good time.
00:54:00You should definitely do it.
00:54:02So, what's making you think about this right now?
00:54:08It's Lori, isn't it?
00:54:11She seems great.
00:54:13She is great.
00:54:15Wow.
00:54:16I mean, who would have thought in a million years that it would work out with one of the
00:54:20ladies who came here to meet you after seeing you on a cooking show?
00:54:27Yeah.
00:54:28Lori is not one of those girls, okay?
00:54:30Lori is here on vacation.
00:54:31Yeah.
00:54:31Yeah.
00:54:31Okay.
00:54:34When does she leave?
00:54:35That's just it.
00:54:37She's leaving on Christmas Eve.
00:54:39I wish she could stay longer.
00:54:42I think you should do something romantic for her.
00:54:46Yeah, like show your appreciation.
00:54:49Yeah.
00:54:51Just saying.
00:55:03I'm okay.
00:55:06Now that I'm with you, don't you go away.
00:55:10Cause you're my wish that just came true.
00:55:13Now go away.
00:55:15If you wanna kiss under the doorway.
00:55:20The only thing left on my list.
00:55:23You're perfectly made.
00:55:26Just like the snowflakes.
00:55:30The snowflakes.
00:55:32Just like the snowflakes.
00:55:35Falling for you, baby.
00:55:37Just like the snowflakes.
00:55:39The fallen hit your time.
00:55:41I wanna share your space.
00:55:44Pull you in till we all run on court days.
00:55:49Hey, are you guys hungry?
00:55:50I could go rip this up something to eat.
00:55:52Jason and I are gonna go to the movies.
00:55:55Okay.
00:55:55Alright.
00:55:56Well, what about Lori?
00:55:58I could pick something up.
00:56:00Now, why would you pick something up?
00:56:02When my dad can make you a home cooked meal.
00:56:05Yeah.
00:56:05Look.
00:56:05Don't be ridiculous.
00:56:06It would be my pleasure.
00:56:13Hey.
00:56:14I only asked one thing.
00:56:17Be good to my little girl, okay?
00:56:18I will say.
00:56:19Alright.
00:56:20Yeah.
00:56:20And have her home right after the movie.
00:56:21I'll do.
00:56:22I'll do.
00:56:36I'll do.
00:56:37I'll do.
00:56:46I'll do.
00:56:49I'll do.
00:56:52I'll do.
00:56:58I'll do.
00:57:34Hi.
00:57:34Hi.
00:57:35Come on in.
00:57:37It's cold out.
00:57:39I could take your coat.
00:57:41Okay, yeah.
00:57:43Yeah, I'll take your gloves too.
00:57:47You're welcome.
00:57:54You look beautiful.
00:57:56You look handsome.
00:57:59Is it too much?
00:58:03Oh, come on.
00:58:10I can't believe that was something you just whipped up.
00:58:14Yeah.
00:58:15I'm glad that you liked it.
00:58:17That was amazing.
00:58:23Actually, I wanted to thank you, though, for real.
00:58:27For what?
00:58:30I have decided to start a food truck.
00:58:35You have?
00:58:36Yeah.
00:58:37Yeah, I talked to the guys at the station, and they think it's a great idea.
00:58:40It's amazing.
00:58:41What do you mean?
00:58:41Yeah.
00:58:43I mean, look, it's a first step.
00:58:44But, yeah.
00:58:47You know, maybe when I get it up and running, you can come back.
00:58:53I could cook for you again.
00:58:57I'd like that.
00:58:58Yeah.
00:59:00Oh, God.
00:59:03I just, I haven't had this much fun.
00:59:08Yeah.
00:59:09It's okay.
00:59:11It's okay.
00:59:12It just, it feels so good to smile and laugh again.
00:59:24It's okay to allow yourself to feel joy.
00:59:33We should celebrate with a toast.
00:59:36Oh, yes.
00:59:46But first, there's something I have to tell you.
00:59:51I, uh, I don't quite know how to say this, so I'm just going to water it out.
01:00:00Oh, gosh.
01:00:01Oh, no.
01:00:03I, I'm so sorry.
01:00:04It's okay.
01:00:05It's okay.
01:00:05I'm going to put some water on it.
01:00:09Oh.
01:00:21Oh, wow.
01:00:25Yeah.
01:00:26Nick got it for me.
01:00:27My sister got me an ugly Christmas sweater, too.
01:00:30Are you saying that this is ugly?
01:00:33Uh.
01:00:35Oh.
01:00:36Okay.
01:00:37Now, what were you saying?
01:00:38Dad?
01:00:40Hey.
01:00:42You're wearing your ugly Christmas sweater?
01:00:44Yeah.
01:00:45I got, uh, I got some wine on my other sweater.
01:00:47I said, what are you doing here?
01:00:48I thought you and Chase were going to the movies.
01:00:50We did.
01:00:51He told them to get me straight back home after.
01:00:54Oh, wait.
01:00:55I must have lost track of time.
01:00:57Well, time flies when you're having fun.
01:01:01Dad, did you invite Lori to the Christmas reading at the fire station?
01:01:05Mm-hmm.
01:01:06Well, Santa comes and reaches the kids, then hands out toys.
01:01:09You should come.
01:01:10We can use your help.
01:01:11I think I can make it.
01:01:14Also, I, I was, uh, wondering if you might be free tomorrow night.
01:01:18Uh, yeah.
01:01:19Why?
01:01:20I'd like to show you some more of the town.
01:01:23You would?
01:01:24Yeah.
01:01:24I, we, uh, really like to do Christmas here in Hudson.
01:01:27I, I don't think that you've actually seen the, the neighborhood decorations.
01:01:30That'd be awesome.
01:01:36So, how was the day?
01:01:38Did you tell him?
01:01:39I was going to, but then I spilled wine all over him.
01:01:44Anyways, we're going out again tomorrow to do a holiday lights tour.
01:01:47Really?
01:01:49That sounds like fun.
01:01:50Can I talk to you about something?
01:01:52Of course.
01:01:54You're my sister.
01:01:55You can talk to me about anything.
01:01:57Patrick's starting a food cart and him chasing his dream got me thinking that maybe I should
01:02:04follow my dream and start my own business like you suggested.
01:02:09Absolutely.
01:02:10And you can work from anywhere, including Hudson, Wisconsin.
01:02:15True.
01:02:27Wow.
01:02:29This town is so beautiful all lit up.
01:02:33Every season.
01:02:36Hmm.
01:02:36Hmm.
01:02:39Let me see.
01:02:40Look how your hands are freezing.
01:02:41They're always so cold.
01:02:44Here.
01:02:44You can share this pocket.
01:02:46Ah.
01:02:47And then we'll switch sides on the way back.
01:02:50Or on the other hand.
01:02:51Thanks.
01:02:55Uh-huh.
01:02:56It's a pretty tree.
01:02:58Yeah.
01:03:00So what do you think?
01:03:02Did you ever see yourself living in a small town like this?
01:03:07Yes.
01:03:09Definitely.
01:03:15I'll walk you back to your B&B.
01:03:30Thank you for the amazing night.
01:03:33You're welcome.
01:03:39There's something I've been trying to tell you for a while now.
01:03:42Because I believe that honesty is the most important thing in any relationship.
01:03:48That sounds serious.
01:03:51I saw you on the show.
01:03:54You did?
01:03:55I looked you up online.
01:03:56My sister found out, so she made a reservation for me here at the B&B.
01:04:00I was hoping to meet you.
01:04:02But once I saw all the other competition, I decided to just let go and enjoy my vacation.
01:04:08Then we ran into each other at the park.
01:04:15Phew.
01:04:16I've been meaning to get that out for the longest time now.
01:04:20You have no idea.
01:04:22I should go.
01:04:23It's getting late.
01:04:26What?
01:04:27Now?
01:04:28So soon?
01:04:29Yeah.
01:04:30I gotta get up early.
01:04:32Bye.
01:04:34Goodnight.
01:04:37Patrick?
01:04:51Dad?
01:04:53Are you looking at photos?
01:05:02Are you okay?
01:05:08Come here.
01:05:16What do you say me and you, we're gonna make a snowman tomorrow?
01:05:21Dad.
01:05:22I'm not a kid anymore.
01:05:27Yeah?
01:05:28Well, you're always gonna be my little girl.
01:05:33Always.
01:05:37You didn't take the news very well.
01:05:39You just got up and left.
01:05:42I'm sure you'll work it out at the Santa event tomorrow.
01:05:47I hope you're right.
01:05:49Have a good night.
01:05:51See you soon.
01:06:07Hello.
01:06:08Hi, sweetie.
01:06:08Good morning.
01:06:09Good morning.
01:06:10Good morning.
01:06:10I made you some pancakes.
01:06:11Thanks.
01:06:15So, decided, when you go off to college, I'm gonna start a food truck.
01:06:22Really?
01:06:23Yeah.
01:06:24That's your dream.
01:06:24Yeah.
01:06:26I mean, it's scary.
01:06:27It's risky, but I'm gonna go for it.
01:06:31I'm happy for you, Dad.
01:06:32I just wanna, I wanna show you that it's important to, you know, take chances.
01:06:38Follow your dreams and be bold.
01:06:42I'm sure Lori had nothing to do with this decision, right?
01:06:47I really like the effect she's had on you.
01:06:50She got you back in your Christmas spirit.
01:06:52Yeah.
01:06:53Well, uh, probably should get ready for the Santa reading.
01:07:05Hey, hold up, ladies.
01:07:06This is for the kids and their parents only.
01:07:08Sorry.
01:07:08Hey, how do you know my son's not in there already?
01:07:12Hold, hold, hold, hold.
01:07:13Did you just hear me tell these people that this is for kids and parents only?
01:07:18Nick, there's something I wanna tell you.
01:07:20Okay.
01:07:22I've decided to start my own business.
01:07:24Really?
01:07:25So has my dad.
01:07:26I know.
01:07:27He inspired me.
01:07:30Does this mean you can work from anywhere?
01:07:34Have you told my dad?
01:07:36Not yet.
01:07:37He's gonna be so excited when he finds out.
01:07:39There's something else I need to tell you.
01:07:41Hey!
01:07:42How did you get to meet Patrick?
01:07:45We couldn't even get close enough to say hi to him.
01:07:48What is she talking about?
01:07:50That's what I was going to tell you.
01:07:53I saw your dad on the show.
01:07:54What?
01:07:55Yeah, wait a minute.
01:07:56Don't you remember how we met outside the boutique?
01:07:58And we said we'd do anything for love this year?
01:08:01Oh.
01:08:04I thought you were here on vacation.
01:08:06I was.
01:08:07I am.
01:08:09After I saw your dad on the show, I felt this strange pull to him.
01:08:14And my sister found out and she gifted me a stay at the bed and breakfast.
01:08:19I just thought the way you and my dad met, it was fate.
01:08:23It was.
01:08:24After I saw all the women, I decided to just enjoy my vacation.
01:08:29That's when I ran into your dad at the park.
01:08:31Does my dad know?
01:08:32I told him last night.
01:08:34Why didn't you say something earlier?
01:08:36I tried so many times, but something always came up.
01:08:40Honesty and trust are the most important things to my dad.
01:08:44And to me.
01:08:45Honesty is important to me, too.
01:08:48Here I thought you were my Christmas wish come true.
01:08:52Christmas wish?
01:08:54Well, looks like we're good to go.
01:08:58What's going on?
01:09:02Are you okay?
01:09:05Patrick, can we talk?
01:09:08Yeah.
01:09:16So, there's been something-
01:09:17Patrick!
01:09:18There's a problem.
01:09:19What is it?
01:09:20You know how my parents are coming into town this Christmas?
01:09:24Well, I thought they were coming in tomorrow, Christmas Eve.
01:09:28They're here right now.
01:09:29I have to go to the airport.
01:09:31We need a replacement Santa.
01:09:36I'll do it.
01:09:37I'll be Santa.
01:09:40You're the best, man.
01:09:51Okay.
01:09:53Hey, did I sense any tension between you and Lori?
01:09:56Because whatever it is, I'm sure you two will figure it out.
01:09:59Yeah, well, she's leaving tomorrow.
01:10:02It's probably for the best.
01:10:12We're broadcasting live from the Hudson Fire Station.
01:10:15Thank you to all the families who came out and donated toys for our annual toy drive.
01:10:18But without further ado, straight from the North Pole, here's Santa Claus!
01:10:23Ho, ho, ho!
01:10:25Merry Christmas, everyone!
01:10:26Merry Christmas!
01:10:27Well, Santa Claus, thank you for coming here every year to spend some time with us.
01:10:31It's always my pleasure!
01:10:32My pleasure!
01:10:33Now, I know you're a busy man.
01:10:35Are you all packed and ready for tomorrow night?
01:10:37Oh, much work!
01:10:38Much work to do tomorrow night to deliver all the presents to the good boys and girls.
01:10:42Well, we're sure going to miss Santa, aren't we, kids?
01:10:44Yeah!
01:10:45Don't worry, in just a minute, he's going to read a story for us.
01:10:48But also, coming up tomorrow night at the fire station, we have another special event.
01:10:52Yes, yes, firefighters work 24-hour shifts, so they often cannot spend Christmas with their families and loved ones.
01:10:57So tomorrow, we bring Christmas to the fire station, and they will have a wonderful meal with their families and
01:11:03loved ones.
01:11:04Ho, ho, ho!
01:11:05And that's what Christmas is all about.
01:11:07Yeah!
01:11:10Speaking of firefighters, I think later I could get an interview with Patrick Jake.
01:11:15Sure, no problem.
01:11:16Anyways, here's Santa Claus reading The Night Before Christmas.
01:11:20Oh, gather round, gather round.
01:11:22Oh, this is a good one.
01:11:23T'was the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
01:11:31The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in the hopes that Saint Nicholas would soon be there.
01:11:39We're live in three, two...
01:11:41We're back live with local firefighter Patrick Jacob, and Patrick, it's been a whirlwind season for you.
01:11:47I've got to ask the question that our audience is dying to know.
01:11:51Did you find love this Christmas?
01:11:59Uh...
01:12:00Well, love is in the air.
01:12:04Patrick, wait, can we finish your talk? I don't want things to end like this.
01:12:10Neither did I. But...
01:12:12But what?
01:12:13You're leaving tomorrow.
01:12:14Yes, but...
01:12:16I should go.
01:12:18Not a lot of work to do before the Christmas Eve dinner tomorrow.
01:12:23So I guess this is goodbye?
01:12:48What's going on?
01:12:50My dad really fell for Lori.
01:12:52I'm sorry.
01:12:53But she was just another one of the women who saw him on the show and came to meet him.
01:12:57Yeah, but...
01:13:01Isn't that what she wanted?
01:13:03Yeah, but...
01:13:25Isn't that what she wanted?
01:13:36I'll get it.
01:13:45Chase!
01:13:46Hey, come on in.
01:13:50What are you doing here?
01:13:52I'm not even dressed yet.
01:13:53I know.
01:13:54I wanted to give you something before we go to the station.
01:13:57Open it.
01:14:04I love it.
01:14:06Wait, I thought you got this for your aunt.
01:14:08I don't have an aunt and my mom doesn't even have pierced ears.
01:14:14What do you mean?
01:14:15I kind of made all that up so I could see you.
01:14:20You bought those gifts just so you can see me?
01:14:24That's so romantic.
01:14:27So, you're not mad?
01:14:29Mad?
01:14:30Why would I be mad?
01:14:31I don't know.
01:14:32With everything that happened with Lori, and I thought to myself since I wasn't totally
01:14:36upfront with you while I was going to the store, maybe you would be mad at me.
01:14:42That's the sweetest thing anyone's ever done for me.
01:14:47Can you help me put it on?
01:14:48Yeah.
01:15:02So, how does it look?
01:15:06Beautiful.
01:15:08Well, I should get ready.
01:15:10See you in a few hours?
01:15:19Bye.
01:15:26Dad, we have to talk.
01:15:29You have to talk to Lori.
01:15:31Lori.
01:15:32Why do you say that?
01:15:34I'm pretty sure you heard what Chase said.
01:15:37Yeah.
01:15:38He doesn't actually have an aunt.
01:15:41He came to the store all those times just to see you.
01:15:43Don't you see, Dad?
01:15:45Lori did the same thing.
01:15:47She came here to meet you.
01:15:49And I know she wasn't totally upfront with you right away about it.
01:15:54But she did it for love.
01:15:57I think it's romantic.
01:15:59Don't get me wrong.
01:16:00I was mad at first too when I first found out.
01:16:03But she didn't have to tell you.
01:16:06And yet she did.
01:16:07She was honest.
01:16:09And she said she tried multiple times and I believe her.
01:16:14So do I.
01:16:16She makes you happy.
01:16:21I can't argue that.
01:16:23That was my Christmas wish.
01:16:25She makes me happy too.
01:16:26I really like her.
01:16:28You told me to be bold and to take chances.
01:16:31You're doing it with the food truck.
01:16:33Are you going to take a chance on love?
01:16:37Look, sweetheart.
01:16:40None of that changes the fact that she leaves today.
01:16:44That's just it.
01:16:45She doesn't have to leave today.
01:16:47She said she's starting her own business.
01:16:51She did?
01:16:52Yes.
01:16:53She told me at the Christmas reading.
01:16:55That means she can work from anywhere.
01:16:58Including Hudson.
01:17:01What are you going to do?
01:17:05Come here.
01:17:08When did you get so wise?
01:17:10It's in my jeans.
01:17:13Okay, now hurry.
01:17:14You have to catch her before she leaves.
01:17:16Go.
01:17:17Go, go, go.
01:17:39I'm so sorry to see you leave.
01:17:41Me too.
01:17:42Had a lovely time.
01:17:44And everyone is so kind.
01:17:45I have a feeling we'll be seeing you again.
01:17:47I don't know about that.
01:17:49Before you head out, dear, you have to stop at the park and make one last snow angel.
01:17:54Promise you'll make one for me.
01:17:56Okay.
01:18:14Goodbye Hudson.
01:18:19Is Laurie still here?
01:18:22She just left.
01:18:25No.
01:18:28I missed her.
01:18:29Maybe you can still catch her.
01:18:31Check the park.
01:18:32Park?
01:18:34Wish me luck.
01:18:46Where did you go, Patrick?
01:18:48You lost her.
01:19:11Laurie.
01:19:12Laurie, wait.
01:19:16Wait up.
01:19:17I thought you left.
01:19:20I stopped to make one last snow angel.
01:19:22Yeah, I went to the B&B and she said that she'd gone.
01:19:27You went to the B&B?
01:19:30Why?
01:19:32I had to tell you.
01:19:35I had to tell you how I feel about you.
01:19:40Okay.
01:19:43You, you're my snow angel.
01:19:47You've brought joy back in my life.
01:19:50I mean, you, you make me want to decorate for Christmas, bake Christmas cookies, you know,
01:19:55do snow angels and be Santa Claus again.
01:20:01You made me want to make my dreams come true.
01:20:06You inspired me too.
01:20:09Yeah.
01:20:11Nick told me you're going to start your own business.
01:20:15Yeah.
01:20:17You made me not want to leave Hudson.
01:20:22You made me feel like I was a part of your family.
01:20:25You are.
01:20:29I don't want you to go.
01:20:33Ah, look, I know.
01:20:35I know I don't know you very well.
01:20:38But I just feel this strange pull towards you I have in the second that I saw you.
01:20:44Is that crazy?
01:20:46Yeah, I feel the same way.
01:20:48Will you, will you be my date tonight at the Christmas dinner?
01:20:59I'd love to.
01:21:09We can figure it all out.
01:21:12Later, yeah?
01:21:24so what made you come looking for me
01:21:28oh it's a long story but uh basically has to do with a holly necklace
